ISLAND SUN - APRIL 16, 2010 Hortoons FISH Needs Your Help by Maggi Feiner, President, FISH of Sanibel e are about halfway through our annual FISH (Friends In Service WHere) of Sanibel community fund drive, and while we’ve had a generous response from many this year we are falling short of our financial goal of $42,000 to keep our full range of FISH services going. FISH relies heavily on the support of the community to meet its financial needs and unfortunately with the current economic environment the needs of some of our island neighbors are greater than ever. Demand for FISH services has never been so great as this year. Keeping the Food Pantry stocked and being able to provide emergency financial assistance is the top priority for FISH in 2010. There have been some significant success stories of island neighbors who have been given a hand up by FISH this year. Take Sally, a single mother of two children who lives and works on the island. She has her hours cut back over the past three months, due to the economic climate. Until recently, Sally has been coping with her rent and other domestic expenses. As a result of the reduction in her weekly earnings, however, she has needed assistance with food for herself and her children. FISH has been able to help her out by providing food from the food pantry and our program director has Read Us Online: www.IslandSunNews.com been able to help her find her some state benefits that she is entitled to and that she was not aware of – these will help her on an ongoing basis. Another example of how FISH helps out island neighbours is John, an elderly ADVENTURES IN PARADISE man who has been a long-term resident Outfitters to the Outsiders of Sanibel. Because of the recent cold weather John was unable to pay his electric bill – and was threatened with being cut off. After careful screening, FISH stepped in and paid this bill and also assisted John by getting him a number of other resource referrals who will help him 395-0385 239-472-8236 on a more long-term basis. A Sanibel Tradition for more than 30 Years “The economic impact has been felt by many but now more than ever FISH really needs your help,” said John Pryor, FISH director of resource development.

L “Stationed in the Rutland House enables me to be the first to interact with visitors and to welcome them to the Village,” she says. “The house is an excellent example of the Florida ‘cracker style’ and is a warm beginning to the tour of the Sanibel Historical Museum and Village,” Verblaauw says. “It has been fun meeting other docents and the many visitors from the island, their guests, and others from all over the USA and also Europe.” Like many other full- and part-time residents, she and her husband Rod fell in love with Sanibel from the moment they crossed the bridge in 1982. She now wishes that they had known about the island when, in 1959, on their honeymoon, they spent two weeks touring Florida. “It would be great, as a docent, when relating the early history of Sanibel, to have personally taken the ferry here,” she says. Volunteering has always been a priority for Verblaauw. Raising four children in northern New Jersey gave opportunities to help Brownies, Scouts and to volunteer at school. Later she became involved with the Valley Hospital Auxiliary where she held

The osprey chick and one of its parents on March 20, when it first became visible in the nest pring is a time of new life around the world, and in the JN “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge baby birds are popping out of nests all around Tarpon SBay. While there are many young herons, egrets and cormorants on the rook- ery islands in the bay, the Tarpon Bay Explorers are most excited about the osprey chick in the nest at their dock. The Explorers began observing the adult osprey pair in early January when it appeared they were caring for eggs in the nest. In mid-February the parents were feeding and protecting a young chick. The chick is growing very fast and has been stretch- ing its wings. “The Explorers’ staff has truly enjoyed this unique opportunity to observe these magnificent birds of prey,” said Stephanie Ray, education and program manager. If BREAKFAST • LUNCH you would like to view the nesting osprey as the young bird grows, stop by Tarpon Bay Explorers at 900 Tarpon Bay Road.

Clouds of blooms seem to float atop the large bunches of tightly rolled stiff leaf blades. Both white and purplish pink muhly grass are common in this area. Use this ornamental grass to sculpt and accent the landscape. Strategically situated against sunlight, the blooms will create a shimmery haze. Flowering occurs during much of the year, usually during fall and winter. Muhly grass has practical advantages as well. It’s drought-, cold-, and salt-tolerant. It also offers cover for wildlife and prevents erosion. Plant this perennial native in full sunlight or light shade. It can reach up to five feet in optimum conditions and grow as wide as it is tall. Propagate muhly grass with seeds or by dividing the clumps. It will also self-seed. The only maintenance is cutting it back in late winter to simulate natural seasonal fires and stimu- late growth. Another advantage of striking ornamental grasses in the landscape? Less time spent with a lawn mower. Sources: A Gardener’s Guide to Florida’s Native Plants by Rufino Osorio and Everglades Wildflowers by Roger L. Hammer. Plant Smart explores sustainable gardening practices that will help you create a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, hurricane- and pest- resistant South Florida landscape.

ISLAND SUN - APRIL 16, 2010 29 Royal Opera’s La Bohème At BIG ARTS via Digiscreen a Bohème by The Royal Opera Company, captured live at the LRoyal Opera House Covent Garden, will be screened at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 22 at BIG ARTS. BIG ARTS has partnered with DigiScreen corporation to bring international performing arts companies to the big screen in Schein Performance Hall, 900 Dunlop Road, Sanibel. Admission is $20. Puccini’s opera is one of the most famously melodious and eternally popular of all operas. The carefree attitude of youth and the harsh realities of life are poignantly contrasted through the tender affair of Mimì (Russian soprano Hibla Gerzmava) and Rodolfo (Romanian tenor Teodor Ilincai), from the heights of first meeting through to the tragic end.

For tickets call 332-4488. Biddle is a man who, because of the turbulent years of the 20th century, has experienced his fair share of historical events, and he shares many of them. The script Portraits In Print involves bits and pieces of the Roosevelt-Truman era, and his regret about not fighting harder to stop the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. What A Wonder! Howard is a wonderful actor and gives a superb performance. He allows Biddle to by Jane Vos Hogg bluster and complain, ever ready to counter the first sign of a split infinitive. He gets the best dialogue and is touching and witty as an octogenerian who, in his own words, magine, if you will, a yard sale of Wendy’s wonderfuls.

The dialogue is so powerful it what time you get to a yard sale… early or late won’t make a even elicits applause from the audience mid-scene. Directed by Chris Clavelli, Trying difference. “No matter what time you get to the yard sale the takes the audience on a lovely journey through the final years of an old man’s life. It thing you were meant to have will be there.” “But that,” she continued, “is a metaphor for all of life.” She sees herself as a round peg in a square hole and yes, that works “if the hole is big enough,” she says. Having lived here on Sanibel for almost eight years one can only assume that our island is big enough for her. Another Wendyism: “You bloom where you’re planted.” For the first eight years of her life Wendy lived in Woodstock, New York where her father was a well-known photographer. When the reality of how difficult it was to make a living with his art hit home the family moved to Westport, Connecticut. It was a good place to grow up; there were decent schools, well-stocked libraries, a popula- tion appreciative of arts and culture and proximity to a multitude of museums. When it was time for college she headed way west to California. Originally an art major, but totally lacking in self confidence, she switched to psychology with a minor in sociology. Well-educated, she came away with no real preparation for professional employment; that’s when the real Wendy kicked in. She’s artistic. Look at her, look around her… everything she touches appears to be an eye-catching collage. Marriage and motherhood brought her back East, this time to Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the Massachusetts coast. Her daughter, Chelsea Rhiannon Menemsha, (“her very name ties her to the Vineyard,” muses her mother…) became Wendy’s priority. A single, working parent by the time her toddler neared three, this was a woman who knew how to order her life, establish a base and be a good mom. What did she set as a goal? Preparing her daughter for the life she wanted to live. She was determined to give her daughter “roots and wings,” and feels she accomplished both. Living on an island suits Wendy well. She knows how to plan, how to carry through on the task at hand, how to get to the goal... and best of all she knows how to reach out, involve those around her, make everyone feel welcome. Before coming to BIG ARTS, where she is in charge of the volunteers and hospitality, she had stints at The Schoolhouse Theater, the Shell Museum, and even at the Island Sun. Her someday dream… to have a shop. “I’d call it Eclectia. It would be a place that’s in and of itself a destination... a mix of gallery, augmented and personalized clothing and some food.” What does she see as her purpose in life I wondered. When asked her sparkling smile said it all: “My purpose is to bring light into the room. And eventually I want to make a difference in a bigger way.” With the wheels churning, she began to talk about “the things I’d do if I wasn’t afraid to do… the me that I want to be.” Included in that batch was write books. “One, only one, would be a child’s book. The rest might be on wisdom or fashion… or hey… maybe a blend of those two. The evolution of an outfit intrigues me.” When not working she reads, catches up on correspondence, gardens and creates things. Clearly she does not particularly like to go off the island. When I asked how long she thought she’d be here I got a simple and direct “I’ll be here until I am not here.” And when that day comes, no matter what, one ray of bright sunshine would be missing.
