Plus tax and gratuity • Pruning of protective green fronds makes the palm’s cold-sensitive heart suscep- tible to frosts. • An over-pruned palm (“hurricane cut”) leaves the heart of the palm totally unpro- tected in strong winds. Damage to the heart can result in the death of the palm. • An over-pruned palm can develop a bottleneck trunk, sometimes referred to as “penciling.” In high winds and hurricanes, this stressed and weakened point can cause the palm to break off and die. • Work boots with climbing spikes cause wounds in the trunk, leaving the palm prone to disease.

Scot Congress and Dave Drotleff look over some children’s book donations to the Sanibel Public Library from the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club. Youth Librarian Barb Dunkle and area children help with the selection. Rotary Donates Books For Library Children’s Room he Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club continues its partnership with the Sanibel Public Library through its Books For Children program. T Each week, at the Rotary’s regular meetings, a guest speaker updates Rotarians on activities or speaks about a specific topic. The club then donates a book to the children’s room at the library in the name of the speaker, honoring that speaker with a longtime legacy and in a very useful way. “Rotary starts with our youth,” according to Scot Congress, club president. “We have always supported reading, from our yearly dictionary donations to area third graders to our donations to the library – it’s a natural fit for us.” How does it work? Youth Librarian Barb Dunkle puts together a list and selection of best new children’s books, along with some classic favorites. Rotarians have this small library on hand and show the selection to each speaker, who in turn picks a book to be donated in his or her name. “This is a terrific idea – the speakers can select books they read as children and have happy memories of; or they can select books of local interest, on sea life or alli- gators, for example; or they can select something fun and interesting about a hobby or maps or history,” said Margaret Mohundro, library director. “Any topic is possible.” Congress thinks encouraging reading, and ensuring children are good readers, is good for the future and gets them where they need to go in life. The project began in 2012 with the first donation, Listen To My Trumpet! by Mo Willems, a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator and winner of the presti- gious Caldecott Medal for excellence in children’s literature. It was donated by Rotary in honor of Scout Troop 140, whose members spoke to the club at a 2012 meeting. “This is a wonderful service provided by the Rotary Club,” said Sandy Zahorchak, library commissioner. “We want to foster a love of books and reading among the chil- dren of Sanibel, and adding these new titles helps us do that. The children are always excited to see what book comes in next. We thank the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary for its generosity.” Partnering with the library is not new for the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary. The club, working through the Joan Hunt Cory Fund of the Sanibel Public Library Foundation, donated early literacy computer stations, featuring software for preschoolers and early readers, working with their parents, to learn colors, shapes, art, maps, music and more. Additionally, Rotary has provided funding for a specialized business collection for the library’s eShelf service of downloadable eBooks and audiobooks.

That was the responsibility last season for Kate Townley, senior manager of Minor League Administration for the Minnesota Twins. But first let’s set the scene how this multi- faceted job comes about every baseball season. On most days at the Minnesota Twins Kate Townley minor league facility at the Lee County Sports Complex, upwards of 150 ball players are participating in Spring Training Bayfront Home on Almost 2 Acres Stunning Captiva Estate spread out over several baseball diamonds.

The 60-game schedule $1,995,000 $2,149,000 for the two rookie-level teams, Elizabethton and the Gulf Coast League Twins, begins in June. But did you ever consider the complexity and the logistics of managing the constant up and down flow of these players throughout the season as the result of promotions, demotions and injuries? In addition, players often are called up and sent down by the major league club throughout the long season? Last year, according to Brad Steil, the Twins’ director of minor league operations, there were 167 moves – a much higher number than in the past as the result of an unusual raft of injuries. “What most don’t understand, when a player is promoted to the major league club or moved back to the minors, it could have a ripple effect on five other teams,” Steil said. This is the result of 25-player limits for the four higher minor league teams and One of the Most Beautiful Views in the Dunes Spacious Ground Level Direct Access Canal Home 30-player limits for the rookie teams.

The 167 moves last season included 12 surgeries for injured players. Some surgeries were performed here in Fort Myers and some in Minnesota. There even were situations where doctors and nurses accompanied injured players on flights. Maybe now readers will begin to grasp the mine-boggling, constant responsibilities for the friendly Kate Townley. Her job, however, is not limited to the baseball season itself. She manages transpor- tation home for players and staff and is involved the often-complicated, red-tape busi- ness of visas and passports for foreign players.

Returning for his second year as Miracle manager is Doug Mientkiewicz who guided the team to a 79-56 record in his first year, including a division championship in the season’s first-half. In next week’s paper, we will review the team’s season-opening roster. Everblades Nine-Game Home Stand to Decide Playoff Hopes In their 14-year franchise history, the Florida Everblades have never failed to reach the post-season playoffs.

New Lee County Environmental Policy Management Office ee County Manager Roger Desjarlais announced the establishment of the Environmental Policy Management Office. The new office will be responsible Lfor ensuring a balanced approach as county staff reviews and enforces Lee County commissioners’ environmental policies. Staff will serve as a central source of environmental information and assistance to Desjarlais and his senior manage- ment team as well as to county departments such as community development, natu- ral resources, transportation, utilities, transit and solid waste – areas that affect Lee County’s management of environmental sciences, construction management and land- use planning and zoning. “As we emerge from a failed economy and begin to rebound, it is more important than ever for us to demonstrate to commissioners and the community that the Lee County staff is committed to sound, fair and consistent review and application of the Lee County Commission’s environmental and economic policies, codes and programs as well as state and federal laws,” Desjarlais said. The office will be led by Holly Schwartz, a 20-year county employee with experi- ence and knowledge of environmental policies and the Lee County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Schwartz will transition from her post as assistant county manager to head up the new office, which will include four other current county employees who will be reassigned to this effort. Desjarlais’ announcement is part of an on-going strategic planning process that is designed to identify Lee’s critical financial, operational, capital, technology and staff issues and to focus on basic services and customer service. The strategic planning will support commissioners in establishing priorities and direction for several years. “We plan to focus on strategic opportunities in order to continue to provide cost- effective and quality services as well as good customer services,” Desjarlais said. A landing page at www.lee-county.com will be established soon for the new office, which was officially launched on March 24. For more information, call 533-2221.

Jeremy Flickinger Sale And Auction To Help End Slavery n April 5, Human Trafficking Awareness Partnerships (HTAP) 2nd annual Bling Bash will be held at the Forever Green Shops, 2025 Periwinkle Place, from 3 Oto 6 p.m. Last year, money was raised to support programs for youth to learn how to protect themselves from becoming victims of human trafficking. The group which is most targeted in the state of Florida is young American girls between the ages of 11 and 15 so HTAP targets them as the group which needs the most education. Through its ARTREACH and TIPS programs, working at after school programs and summer camps, HTAP reached over 100 students last year at Boys and Girls Clubs, Our Mother’s Home and the Heights Center. After four years of development of its youth programs, HTAP has held Train the Trainer classes locally, in Tampa, Savannah and Milwaukee and has seen the program spread across the country. HTAP is currently developing a prevention program aimed specifically at boys since more boys are victimized. This year, there will be over 1,000 pieces of previously loved jewelry for sale; jewelry ARTREACH program at Boys and Girls Club in Fort Myers from noted local designer Lindy Holt; and over 60 silent and live auction items from local businesses, designers and jewelers. Proceeds from sales will support youth programs and the Point of Contact, Point of Rescue program which is educating the staff of Lee Memorial Health System to recognize the signs of trafficking, follow a protocol to report cases, and teach librarians and hotel employees the same. The suggested donation is $20, which includes six raffle tickets and special opportuni- ties at the live auction, conducted by professional auctioneer Jean Baer. All are welcome to purchase jewelry, sample canapes by Cip’s Place and honor Yaro Garcia, head clini- cian at the ACT center who has personally treated over 120 human trafficking victims in Southwest Florida over the last five years. Garcia is president of the SWFL Regional Human Trafficking Coalition. She will receive the first Human Trafficking Awareness Partner of the Year Award. Make reservations at Cip’s Place for dining during or after the Bling Bash and a portion of your tab will go to HTAP. Reservations are recommended. The first silent auction will end at 4:30 p.m., followed by the award presentation. At 5 p.m., the live auction will be held and at 5:45 p.m., the second silent auction will end. Auction items include eco-tours, resort stays, theater tickets, gift certificates for dance les- sons and dinners, jewelry, and some special items for men.
