A Florida native and a member of the aster family, it grows in wet areas, including hammocks, wet woods and the edges of swamps, ponds and ditches. The vine blooms year-round, but primarily in summer and fall, producing dense flat-topped flower clusters on long stalks. The cylindrical fragrant flowers range from white to pale pink. Each fuzzy flowerhead is made up of four small disk flowers about a half-inch long. There are no ray flowers. The showy flowers quickly go to seed and the flowerheads become a pale-beige fluffy mass.

The show runs on Thursday and Friday, November 7 and 8 as well as 14 and 15 at The Sanibel School. Curtain is at 7 p.m. and tickets are $8 for adults and $3 for children. The public is invited to attend. Tickets are available for purchase at the school office, and at the door. The Sanibel School is located at 3840 Sanibel-Captiva Road, and the school office is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. The show is being produced and directed by Sanibel School Music Director Joe Angelo. The cast – made up of sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students – have been rehearsing the musical since September. The middle school students put on two musical productions each year, in November and May. The productions offer students a chance to perform on stage as well as work behind the scenes. Performing arts class at The Sanibel School provides experiences ranging from learning musical instruments, singing, acting and dancing, to running the audio-visual equipment and other crew responsibilities. The students must help plan the choreography and staging of the show. Willy Wonka Jr. features songs from the classic film including The Candyman and Pure Imagination. The Candyman is best known through Sammy Davis, Jr.’s cover version, which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972. Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Jr. is the story of a poor boy who wins the opportunity to tour the most eccentric and wonderful candy factory of all. Along the tour, mild disasters befall each of the odi- ous children, but can Charlie beat the odds and achieve success?

They are absolutely beautiful!” said Paul McCarthy of McCarthy’s Marina and a CIHS board member. The Captiva and Sanibel Islands historical map is geographically accurate but enhanced with dated landmarks, wildlife, preserved land and island activities. “One of the many unique illustrations is of the old mailboat, Santiva, and its route from the Matthews Wharf and Sanibel Packing Company on Sanibel to Timmy’s Nook and Andy’s Dock on Captiva prior to the causeway opening in 1963,” said Kristie Anders, education director of the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) and CIHS board member. The map illustrations reveal countless hidden treasures, each hand drawn in extraordinary detail. To reserve your fine art map, request an order form or for more information, call CIHS board member Meri Kulina at 395-1863. The maps can be seen at Sanibel Art & Frame, located at 630 Tarpon Bay Road on Sanibel, and at McCarthy’s Marina on Captiva.

Through this wonderful project we’re delighted to be helping the Children’s Hospital and The Sanibel School at the same time.” With the full support of principal Barbara Von Harten, art teachers Tylor Stewart and Andi McCarter are working with their students create a sophisticated mosaic design for the seahorse sculpture. Organizations like the bank have sponsored five foot tall seahorse statues that will be creatively painted or decorated by local artists and prominently displayed throughout Collier, Charlotte, Glades, Hendry and Lee counties. The public is invited to see all the decorated seahorses free of charge at the Harborside Event Center in downtown Fort Myers on Wednesday, November 20 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Seahorse Dream Project will continue through early 2014, ending with a gala dinner and auction of select seahorses at the Sanibel Harbour Resort on March 7, 2014.

The Southwest Florida ride has raised $1.5 million for local babies and families from past years’ events. With an additional $42,000 collected from other efforts, the Helmet Drive brought the 2013 tally to $58,000, inching closer to the goal of $150,000. More than 190 riders are registered for the ride this year, which will take place November 15, 16 and 17. The series of events will start on Friday, November 15 with pre-registration and bike night at Fort Myers Harley-Davidson with live entertainment, vendors, food and refreshments.
