Festival of Trees entry from last year Sustainable Initiative Program To Recycle Graduation Gowns reener Grads, a national sustainability initiative, will partner with Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida in collecting polyester graduation gowns. The Gprogram furthers the sustainable journey of recycling versus mass production as well as reduces the financial burden for students and families. “Goodwill already collects caps and gowns, so partnering with Greener Grads seemed like the right fit,” says Goodwill spokesperson Madison Mitchell. “After gradu- ation is over, most people aren’t sure what to do with their gown so it usually ends up sitting in the back of a closet. We’re offering an outlet to donate that graduation gown, so that others can put it to good use.” More than five million gowns eventually end up in landfills each year. Greener Grads partners participate in the recovery-reuse-recycle initiative, directly aiding in the goal of diverting unnecessary pollution from the country’s waste stream. In addition, the Greener Grads’ recycling program allows graduation gowns to be rented at future commencement ceremonies for a substantially lower cost than purchasing a new one. “About 3.2 million gallons of oil are used to make 5.5 million graduation gowns each year,” said Mitchell. “Greener Grads will take a donated gown and will see it get at least 12 uses before being repurposed into lining and filler materials.” The public is encouraged to bring their gowns to any Southwest Florida Goodwill Retail & Donation Center.

As currently configured, the canal has lim- ited capacity to convey water, because it is shallow and has constrictions at a bridge and culvert. Work that includes expanding the canal bottom width to 40 feet will improve water flow east/west across the EAA. This in turn will provide increased flexibility for moving water into the Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAs), which use aquatic vegeta- tion to remove excess nutrients in the water before it reaches the Everglades. The STAs are an integral part of the Governor’s Restoration Strategies to improve Everglades water quality. Canal upgrades will also have the ancillary benefit of providing water supply and flood protection for nearby farms. Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, LLC, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, will soon begin work on the approximately $3.8 million project. Work is expected to be com- plete by early 2017.

The Atlantic carrier snail, Xenophora conchyliophora (Born, 1780) photos by José H. Leal. Shell Of The Week Atlantic Carrier Snail by José H. Leal, PhD, The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum Science Director & Curator he Atlantic carrier snail, Xenophora conchyliophora (Born, 1780), is a moderately rare species in the barrier Tislands of Southwest Florida. Almost all members of the carrier snail family Xenophoridae have the ability to cement other shells, shell fragments, worm tubes, corals and even little pebbles to their own shells. They hold the object to be cement- ed in place with their foot, then proceed to secrete shell mate- rial to affix the object permanently to their own shell edge. Some species specialize in cementing elongated shells such as augers and turret shells, which they do in radial fashion, such as the spokes in a wheel. Members of our local species mostly cement other shell fragments to their own shell. There are many possible reasons for the carrier snails’ object-cementing behavior, including camouflage, causing the snail to be more dif- ficult to swallow by predators, and even a probable “snowshoe” effect, with the objects providing the snail with more surface area, therefore more stability on soft, muddy substrates.

The church first sponsored the 10K race in its fifth year and members continue to volunteer on race day and take part as runners. “Many of our teens participate in the race, which is a great way to get them involved in community service,” said Youth Pastor Kevin Schafer. SCC was founded a century ago as a non-denominational church under the belief that would best serve the islands – making “community” its middle name. The congregation remains dedicated to the community and is delighted to have FISH as a neighbor.” “We love how FISH is a pooling place where all of the churches can partner in lending support for the needs of our community,” said Missions Pastor Brad Livermon. “While each church on the island supports specific outreach ministries, FISH provides a common channel of help to any who have a need on the islands.” FISH has been fulfilling its mission of neighbors helping neighbors since it was founded more than three decades ago. It has touched thousands of lives throughout those years when help was needed most – from emergency financial assistance and youth scholarships to life skills workshops and medical equipment loans. The new FISH Walk-In Center, 2340 Periwinkle Way, allows for an expanded food pantry and more space to better serve its clients. “We are thrilled to partner with FISH in lending a helping hand to our neighbors in need,” said Administrative Pastor Shelton Gwaltney. There are a variety of 10K Race sponsorship slots available – Gold, Silver, Bronze or Friend. For Gold to Bronze sponsorships, your name or logo will appear on the back of T-shirts featuring the Hortoon race logo and worn by the runners, as well as all banners and printed 10K materials.
