We salute this month’s Hometown Hero,

Roy Leo

We, as a nation, owe a debt of gratitude to those members of the “Greatest Generation” who endured the Great Depression before serving in World War II. 95 year old Roy Leo, longtime resident of Cape Coral, is one of those members.

Roy enlisted in the Navy at 18 years old and had a distinguished 7 year military career as a Naval aviator.

He was awarded the Naval Reserve Meritorious Medal, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross and 12 other medals and one ribbon from the US Government and the Philippines.

For 4 years, Roy served as a plane captain and enlisted pilot in B-26’s, PBYs, PBMs, PVs, P2Vs, PSMs and PSAs. He trained Royal Canadian Air Force Pilots in Air Sea Rescue for downed pilots and operated out of the Solomon Islands, Fiji Islands, Caroline Islands, Philippine Islands and Samar Island. He was downed twice while flying a PBV rescue aircraft in the Philippine Sea. Interesting tidbits: When Roy was 8 years old, he met Amelia Earhart. Originally from outside Chicago, he played defensive end for his high school football team. He had a long career as a plumber after his years of service. Until recently, Roy enjoyed painting and creating unique pieces out of wood, some of which can be seen on display in the SW FL Military Museum and Library, along with his Naval awards and medals, his flight suit and more.

When asked what his favorite

Roy with Ralph Santillo At the Southwest Florida Military Museum

memory of his time in the service, Roy did not hesitate when saying “Going home!”

Roy married his soul mate Rita and enjoyed his life with her for over 60 years, until she passed away four years ago. They married in Chicago, and then came to visit Cape Coral and fell in love with this city, built a home on the river in the Yacht Club area and Roy still lives in the same house to this day. Roy’s favorite thing to do is to sit back with a good cigar and watch some of his favorite TV shows from the past, including MASH (the most realistic war show ever!) Emergency and CHIPS.

Roy saw the world during his years of military service, but, as Roy stated, the US is the best! The old adage fits, there is no place like home!

Roy, THANK YOU for your service to our country!

Visitors can meet Roy, a distinguished member of The Great Generation, during the weekly luncheon for all veterans held each Tuesday starting at 11 at the Southwest Florida Military Museum & Library at 4820 Leonard Street in Cape Coral.

hile the subject of wine tends to get complicated rather quickly, we aim to bring you articles that explain wine related topics simply and straightforwardly. In honor of this inaugural issue of Cape Style Magazine, it seems fitting to begin on the topic of Champagne. Shakespeare’s infamous quote, “That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet,” may be beautiful and inspiring. But, it is a good thing Shakespeare hails from England because in France they are a slight bit more particular about names. Sparkling wines are produced in nearly every major wine growing region in the world, but if they are not bottled in the historic province of Champagne, France, they cannot employ the “Champagne” moniker. That means California bubblies, Spanish Cavas, Italian Proseccos and all their effervescent brethren are simply referred to as “sparkling wines.”

It is interesting to note, sparkling wines were discovered accidentally. To produce wine, grapes are harvested, crushed into juice, and fermented, which involves adding yeast to devour the sugar in the grape juice; thereby, producing alcohol and carbondioxide. Fermentation stops when the sugar is depleted or when the winemaker determines the wine is at the appropriate level of sweetness. Back in the early days of wine; however, the processes which stopped fermentation were somewhat rudimentary and could result in a wine for which fermentation was not stopped, but rather paused by cold temperatures. After a year’s grape harvest in the fall, wines were fermented, bottled and stored in natural underground cellars which were sufficiently chilled in the winter months. When spring arrived and warmer temperatures crept into the wine cellars, the pause button switched off and fermentation began again. Since the bottles were sealed, the carbon dioxide did not have anywhere to go, resulting in the infamous bubbles.

There are a few techniques for making sparkling wines and technology has afforded a number of variations on those processes, but the preferred general procedure currently known and used around the world is the Traditional Method. A base, still wine is made that is high in acid, low in alcohol and fermented dry (all the sugar in the wine has been consumed by the yeast.) Multiple base wines may be blended together to form cuvées. The base wine or cuvée is bottled, a specific amount of yeast and sugar is added and the bottle is sealed with a temporary cap. The additional yeast and sugar, known as liqueur de tirage, initiates a second fermentation in the bottle. This second fermentation continues for about a month and the now sparkling wine is left to age. Once the wine has developed to the vintner’s satisfaction, an exhaustive process to compile and remove the sediment from the neck of the bottle ensues. After which, the wine is topped off, sealed and ready for sale.

So when the cork is popped at your next celebration, impress your friends with your substantial knowledge on the bubbly!

Mary Jane Baker-Vu is the owner of Waterside Wine Club, Located in Cape Harbour.

FUN FACT: It is estimated that there are 44 million bubbles in a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine.

Dear Coach: I’ve been on a gluten-free diet for about 2 months now, avoiding all wheat products faithfully. I really don’t feel any better.

What do you think? Signed, Jill

Dear Jill, Since you didn’t specify what prompted you to go on a gluten-free diet or why you’re not feeling well, I’ll provide some general information about gluten-free diets (and why they’re not for everyone); hopefully it will answer your question. Gluten is a group of proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. Until recently, it was thought that wheat gluten would only affect those with celiac disease or people with wheat allergies. However, a third condition now recognized as gluten-related is referred to as gluten sensitivity.

Statistically, only 1 in 100 people have celiac disease (although it appears to be on the rise), and 1 in 1,000 have a wheat allergy. What are the statistics on ‘wheat sensitivity’?

The best estimate is that wheat sensitivity is in the same general range as celiac disease – about 1% of the population.

That means about 2% of the populations has a problem with wheat.

Are gluten-free diets for everyone?

According to the research of Dr. Michael Greger, “For the 98% of people who don’t have wheat issues, there is no evidence to suggest that following a gluten-free diet has any benefits.

In fact, there is some evidence suggesting that a gluten-free diet may adversely affect gut health in people without celiac disease, wheat sensitivity, or wheat allergy.” He goes on to cite a 2012 study showing that one month on a gluten-free diet was found to adversely affect gut flora and immune function, potentially setting up those on a gluten-free diet for an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in their intestines.

Dr. Greger suggests that if you suspect you might be sensitive to gluten, do NOT go on a gluten-free diet. If you suffer from bloating, abdominal pain and irregular bowel habits, ask your doctor for a formal evaluation for celiac disease. If you don’t have celiac disease, the current recommendation according to a study published in 2014 is that you first try a healthier diet that includes more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans, all the while avoiding processed foods. (The reason people may feel better on a gluten free diet is that they’ve stopped eating so much fast food and processed junk – and not the gluten itself). I love how he puts it, “if you eat a deep-fried Twinkie and your stomach hurts, it may not be the gluten.”

If the healthy diet doesn’t work, rule out other causes of any gastrointestinal issues (such as an overgrowth of bacteria in the intestine, fructose or lactose intolerance, gastroparesis or pelvic floor dysfunction) before self-diagnosing and opting for a gluten-free diet. Two-thirds of people who are sensitive to wheat have also been found to be sensitive to cow’s milk protein (and eggs to a slightly lesser extent).

No current data suggests that the general public should avoid gluten. Just because some people have a peanut allergy does not mean everyone should avoid peanuts. Health professionals don’t want to see people on gluten-free diets unless absolutely necessary – the reason being that whole grains are health promoting; they reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity and other chronic diseases.

Whole grains can include brown rice, barley, oats, buckwheat, quinoa, rye, teff, wild rice and whole-wheat pasta.

Thanks for your question, Jill. I’m at your service to help incorporate a dietary make-over. For more information on our health classes, blog or newsletter, visit www.cydnotter.com.

“Recency bias” is the inability to imagine that the investment environment will ever be any different from the way it is now. When markets fall, many investors go to cash to prevent further loss. Often, they stay in cash too long and miss the recovery. After the markets recover and investors regain their confidence and return to the market, often times it is just as the market is about to peak.

“Confirmation bias” are when circumstances conform to an investor’s expectation and are taken as confirmation and circumstances that don’t are simply ignored.

Clear signals that indicate danger or a need for change aren’t as obvious when there are any signals that confirm expectations.

“Present bias” is when present rewards outweigh future rewards. Purchasing high yield bonds, also known as “junk bonds” today for the quest for higher returns while accepting higher default risk in the future is an example of this.

“Loss aversion” is the reluctance to sell an investment at a loss to avoid admitting to yourself that the investment was a mistake. Kenny Rodgers wrote a great song about loss aversion where he said, “you got to know when to hold’em, and know when fold’em”. Investors believe as long as they don’t sell, the loss is just on paper, and there is some chance that the asset could recover. While waiting for this to occur, the investor misses the chance to reinvest in something else and limiting the overall loss.

“Anchoring” is hanging on to a past value. Investors may hang on to companies that were at one time great companies expecting their value to return to greatness.

Anchoring in companies past achievements may leave

you stuck with a stock whose glory days have long passed.

“Overconfidence” refers to an investor’s belief that they are smarter than the markets. Market timing is not a single decision of when to buy or when to sell, but rather many decisions and all of them have to be correct. The chances of doing that are slim to none. Even the experts struggle with this.

So, how can investors combat all of these biases?

There is one thing that I know of that overcomes all counterproductive emotions and irrational investment decisions. Having a plan and committing to it for the long term. This one step can help avoid these common investing mistakes.

Humans can be emotional and at times not very rational. This is exactly why we’ve heard the old adage, that the market is run by fear and greed, or about markets being “overbought” or “oversold.” Though we have the ability to think objectively, we often act based off biases that may not always be reasonable. The following are some biases that are common for us while investing and some ideas on how to combat them.

A Liquid Poem to The Glory of The Hop

S

By Brendan Stanley

o my buddy gave me a one of those big bottles of beer for my birthday. After a couple of weeks of cooling off in the refrigerator I had to crack it open. The name of the beer was Ruination IPA from Stone Brewing Company. The label had this sweet looking gargoyle on it, the bottle was cold and I hadn’t had a beer in over 24 hours so I was pretty thirsty and anxious. I cracked the top and that transparent white smoke escaped from the bottle. I went right in for a quick smell and WOW, very nice. The sweet smell of hops, freshness and slight citrus was awesome. My mouth was watering.

I grabbed a pint glass (the first glass I saw and it was clean) poured away and… what the hell? It was a light brownish cloud of smoke, more golden, but I could not see through the other side of the glass, and like I said, the glass was clean. I knew this was going to be good and the anticipation of tasting was overwhelming. I went right in! HOLY COW! My taste buds never felt so alive, they were going beerzerk, – crazy hops, crazy hops, crazy hops!

FREAKING AWESOME! I love this beer; it leaves a long after taste that is not overbearing but enjoyable. The glass was magically returning to my mouth, I was powerless against it. It’s the kind of beer that you can’t wait to take another sip. I started thinking about Eddie Murphy’s comedic line “That’s the best damn cracker I ever had” but 24 hours shouldn’t have that affect. I’m not only going to buy this beer for myself but I’m going to recommend it to all my beer-drinking buddies who enjoy a good IPA. Cheers to Steve and Greg on a fantastic beer, I cannot wait to try more from the Stone Brewery. I can easily see why they call this brew “a liquid poem to the glory of the hop!”

The Stone Brewery is located in Escondido, California. And was founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner. The San Diego Union Tribune says, “Calling Koch and Wagner beer experts may be an understatement.” I really can’t wait to try their other brews. For more about Stone Brewing Beers visit: www.stonebrew.com.

Cheers, Brendan

A group of us had a chance to enjoy an exceptional night out, at Gusto Cucina Italiana.

Chef Vincenzo Cangialosi and his wife Raquel are the owners. At the age of 2 , Chef Vince started his first restaurant in Michigan. They opened Gusto Cucina Italiana in January, in the space that was the former Dep Prado Diner.

Sitting down, we were introduced to some outrageous flavors with Gusto’s own house-made mozzarella topped with fresh tomatoes and basil and a sweet balsamic drizzle. The next dish was lightly fried calamari topped with tomato and basil. On the side was a lemon butter dipping sauce. This was particularly savory without being too heavy. A nod to the seafood lovers, was the delightfully Sauteed Mussels in light tomato

sauce with large pieces of mussels within the sauce itself. Just perfect for scooping up with a piece of sliced Italian bread.

The entrees for this review included Chicken Marsala, with mushrooms and roasted potato, Penne Borgetto, playing host to chopped meat, mushrooms and peas in a tomato cream sauce and a plated Eggplant Parmesan in red sauce. There is a nice wine selection for those who love to pair fine wines with their meal.

Wines glasses starting at $5.00 each and bottles starting at $20 – both white and red selections.

Gusto Cucina Italiana is located at 229 Del Prado Blvd. North, Cape Coral, FL 33909. This cozy restaurant fills up quick so reservations are suggested by calling: 239-458-5900. Visit them online at: www.gustocucinaitaliana.com

We’ve all heard the adage “no pain, no gain,” but how much truth is there to that mantra? It depends. Pain during or immediately following exercise, for one, is typically bad news. But soreness that comes several hours after your workout is usually a good thing. Check in with your body during and after your workouts by asking, “Am I feeling pain – or am I feeling like my muscles are working. The two are very different. Pain is a warning signal that something is not right with your body; tiredness and soreness are signs of using a muscle to its full capacity.

Here are five other common questions – and answers – about post-workout soreness:

1. Why do I get sore after a workout?

When you stretch and challenge your muscles with weight-bearing or other strength-training exercises, you damage your muscle cells and surrounding connective tissue on a microscopic level. This damage isn’t a bad thing, though; it sets off a biochemical series of events that encourage muscle cells to repair and remodel, making them larger and stronger. In fact, light exercise doesn’t make you much stronger and it certainly doesn’t make your muscles bigger.

Exercising at a higher intensity makes you more sore – but it also provides more benefits. Typically, you’ll feel most uncomfortable 24 to 48 hours after exercising, which is why it’s often called delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. You may also feel less coordinated and more tired. These effects are nothing to worry about and should disappear within three to four days.

Certain types of exercise tend to make you more sore than others. For example, landing from a jump, squatting, doing lunges or performing any other exercises that lengthen your muscles as they produce force usually results in the most DOMS. In the days after these type of workouts, you may feel like you used muscles you didn’t even know you had. Some everyday tasks, such as going down stairs and lowering yourself to sit, might be difficult, too. People often describe DOMS as a dull ache that worsens when they use their muscles, but there shouldn’t be swelling, bruising or redness.

How sore should I be after a workout ?

2. When should the soreness go away?

Most people start to see DOMS subside in three days, but it could last a bit longer depending on how much you challenged yourself. If you tried a brand new workout, you could be sore for as many as five to seven days.

3. Is there anything I can do to minimize the soreness?

Unfortunately, probably not. While many scientists have studied how to minimize muscle soreness, and the topic is fiercely debated, neither ice nor heat nor topical creams nor rest have been proven decisively to do much good to reduce the pain associated with DOMS. However, many people report feeling better after doing light to moderate activity, such as swimming or taking a short walk, which improves circulation and can help speed muscle repair.

4. How can I tell if my soreness is something more serious?

If you experience extreme muscle soreness, swelling, difficulty moving, dark urine or all of the above, you could have rhabdomyolysis, which is often a life-threatening emergency. The condition is uncommon, but it can occur when you exercise at a very high intensity and level of exertion, especially in hot and humid environments. What distinguishes rhabdomyolysis from DOMS is that in the former, your muscle cells break down and release toxic chemicals into your bloodstream. This chemical release can ultimately lead to severe kidney damage. Rhabdomyolysis is rare, but if you suspect you have it, seek immediate medical attention.

5. Can I still improve if I don’t feel sore?

Some types of exercise will not make you sore, but that doesn’t mean you’re not making progress. Endurance exercises like long-distance running, for example, may not make you sore (unless the route included hills), but your leg muscles will still get stronger. And of course, any physical activity is better than none.

Jordan Marsh

Blue Berry Muffins It’s Blueberry season and If you didn’t grow up around Boston in the 60’s,70’s & 80’s, you’re no doubt unaware of a department store called “Jordan Marsh” and never had the opportunity to taste what is arguably the most delicious blueberry muffin in history... Try this at home, I think you will agree....Kevin

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter 2 cups unsifted flour 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup milk 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2-1/2 cups large fresh blueberries 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 tablespoons sugar (for top of muffins)

Preheat oven to 75°F.

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

In a second bowl, combine all dry ingredients. (You can use an electric mixer to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly at this point so that you won't need to overmix once the wet and dry ingredients are combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture along with the milk and vanilla.

Optionally, mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries, and stir in by hand (this will turn batter a light shade of blue and add a touch of blueberry flavor, but this step may be skipped, if you wish). Add the remaining whole berries and stir in gently by hand.

Spray a 12 muffin baking pan with Baker's Joy (or other non-stick spray). Fill greased muffin cups.

Sprinkle sugar on top of unbaked muffins.

Bake at 75°F for 25- 0 minutes. Cool in pan. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin after several minutes to free it from the pan and cool on wire racks. Muffins may be brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar, if desired.

Enjoy....

Floods are the number one natural disaster in the United States. Flooding causes damage and destruction across regions nationwide wiping out homes and businesses. However, many residents and business owners are unaware that they qualify for flood insurance or that policies are more affordable than they may think. People need to know they can take steps to reduce the financial impact of flooding by purchasing flood insurance before a disaster strikes.

2016 is estimated to be a crazy year for weather and Hurricane season is upon us, starting June 1st. Make sure you have your flood insurance in place before it’s too late!

1) Just a few inches of water from a flood can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. From 2008 to 2012, the average residential flood claim amounted to more than $ 8,000. Flood insurance is the best way to protect yourself from devastating financial loss.

2) Flood insurance is available to homeowners, renters, condo owners/renters, and commercial owners/renters. Costs vary depending on how much insurance is purchased, what it covers and the property’s flood risk. ) Typically, there’s a 0-day waiting period from date of purchase before your policy goes into effect. That means now is the best time to buy flood insurance.

4) Several areas of the country are at heightened risk for flooding due to heavy rains. This excessive amount of rainfall can happen throughout the year, putting property at risk. Cresting rivers, backed-up storm drains, and saturated ground all contribute to significant flooding.

5) Flooding can happen at any time. Create a family plan today to help minimize potential losses and ensure your family’s safety. Don’t forget to plan for your pets! Visit Floodsmart.gov/familyplan for ideas of what to include.

Preparing for a Flood

Residents and business owners need to prepare in advance for flood conditions. Before the threat of flooding becomes imminent, residents and business owners should:

• Purchase a flood insurance policy if they do not already have one.

• Review their current insurance policy and become familiar with what is covered and ensure the limits adequately protect their building and personal belongings.

• Make an emergency kit, plan evacuation routes, and keep important papers in a safe, waterproof place.

• Itemize and take pictures of possessions.

In high school, Jannai has mainly been a dual sport student athlete with a very rigorous course load, taking high level classes and maintaining a 4.55 weighted GPA. He is a member of the National Honors Society and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. During his junior year, a Fellowship of Christian Athletes group leader asked Jannai to co-lead a community outreach to raise money for 500 mosquito nets for families in Africa through World Vision. Jannai also has worked at several community events through the Chamber and the Not in My City events. He also serves at his church as an assistant teacher to grades 4 and 5 boys on the weekends. Jannai has demonstrated that giving back to the community is a character trait that helps bring success to him and everyone he helps.

In track and field, he runs as an individual and on the relay teams. He is encourages others on the team to work hard and succeed. Jannai recently broke four Ida Baker High School records in the past year in the 60m, sprint medley, 200m and the 4 x 200m. This was one

of his personal goals.

He joined a local track club in Fort Myers called Olympia Track Club (OTC) last summer. He was blessed to have great coaches that helped him work on little things to be more explosive.

Olympia Track Club provided opportunities to travel and compete out of state at the Junior Olympics and this is where he found his perfect fit for his next level of education.

Jannai signed a National Letter of Intent for track and field at Southern Wesleyan University in Central, South Carolina. This is a Christian NCAA Division 2 school; he was able to attain a track scholarship, as well as the Presidential Scholarship. He has also received the Holmes scholarship and the Lewis B. Barber Memorial Fund scholarships through our local Cape Coral and SWFL Community Foundations. He will be studying exercise science and sports ministry.

His family and community are so proud of Jannai! There is no doubt he will continue do great things in the future.

“

raduation day is a time to reflect. It is a time to plan forward, to move ahead, and embrace the universe at your feet. Whether the next step is further education, travel or entering the entrepreneurial world, it is the day where ‘goodbyes’ and ‘good lucks’ are exchanged with a hug. As the graduating crowd dissipates, summer fun begins, except for Nelson Stephenson.

The biggest challenge facing Stephenson and his administration is the growth of the community and the number of students that want to attend the school.

”

both in his hometown, but growth won’t make him leave. “I enjoyed growing up in Southwest Florida, that’s why I don’t want to leave here.”

He attended Naples High School, then went on to Florida International, Western Carolina University, and Florida Gulf Coast. Although being a superintendent of a charter school was not his first choice of career. “I wanted to be a City Manager when I grew up,” he says.

“I love politics and all things related to government.”

He earned his first master’s degree in Public Administration and, while working toward his second master’s degree, he was offered a teaching position at Florida Not too long after they moved, a posting caught his atSouthwest. “Long story short,” says Stephenson, “I got tention for Superintendent of a Charter School and he into the teaching field and moved up to administration, applied. After an interview and selection process, he along with getting my second degree.” was hired. The Cape, says Stephenson “it’s a growing place, and it’s an affordable, livable place.” Living One of the perks of being with the charter school is in Sandoval, the Stephenson’s and their small Stephenson gets to interact a lot with the commuchildren, Nicholas age 5 and Sophie age , enjoy nity of Cape Coral. “Being chartered with the city their neighborhood and all that the Cape has to of Cape Coral, I’m very involved with the people offer for a growing family.

Things Fall Into Place in Cape Coral Once graduation is over, Stephenson, Superintendent of the City of Cape Coral Municipal Charter School Authority, is spending his summer planning the upcoming school year. “I love my job,” he says with a smile. When it came to landing this position, Stephenson says, “things just kind of fell into place.” He was employed with the Collier school system when he took a position with another school two counties north of Collier. To help cut the commute time down, he and his wife, Rosica, decided to move to Cape Coral. “There is still a small town kind of feel to the place.”

He mentioned that all four schools are at maximum capacity, “so what do we do moving forward is the question.”

One thing is that Stephenson plans on becoming more involved. “Throughout my life,” he says, “I’ve been too busy to be involved, but this job is a perfect marriage for being involved with the community.”

It is not as simple as build a new school on the campus or bringing in more portables. Stephenson feels that it’s more important to plan, grow slowly, and have an outlook for the long-term future of the school.

Hands-On Approach The Oasis High School and the other charter schools in the system are dedicated to keeping programs hands-on for the students. Students get to spend time in the “medical field, or at the firehouse, or the police station. This program is to give them a wide range of hands-on experiences in different career fields.” He explained how they are not “worrying about test scores. We take the same tests as the Lee County School system, but that’s not our major focus.”

Teaching methods have certainly changed over the years, and Stephenson is doing his part at his school. “It used to be the teacher stands at the front of the class and rattles off information and the students were tasked to write it down. Now we focus more on the hands-on style teaching, called project based learning. We are making sure that all the students are engaged and active and learning the material.”

The Internet has also been a huge factor in how students obtain information. Stephenson shared that the administration is looking into a ‘bring your own device to school program.

He recalled that when calculators became pocket-sized, people feared that would ruin the education system, but it didn't. Stephenson says, “instead of running from technology we are embracing it. Everyone is going to have a phone or a device on them pretty much at all times, so we ask ‘how can we use this?’ How can we embrace it and make it easier instead of trying to fight the technology that we have.”

Drone Day and Cardboard Boat Building A recent fun event that was part of the hands-on learning experience was drone day. “The students got to assemble and use drones. Then we asked the students, what kind of careers can use this? And then what we did was bring in a couple of Realtors who shared with the class how they use drones for their businesses." Stephenson is hoping to put together more hands on activity days, such as drone day. But his favorite day is probably during the last week of school when the students have a cardboard boat race.

During the last week of school, it's natural for students to be a bit anxious for summer vacation to start. Stephenson mentioned what they do at their school is have a “cardboard boat race. The students are put into teams where they engineer how to float a cardboard boat, how to build them, and on the last day of school they race them on the lake on the school property.”

Graduation Day When asked what is the most rewarding part of the job, Stephenson says “graduation day,” with a laugh. “It's working with like-minded people and a team of administrators and a team of teachers that are hungry for what makes us different,” he said. “In all honesty I want to keep doing this until the day they tell me I cannot do it any longer. I'm very proud of our schools and on the parents and volunteers.”

June 2016

Many of you may be wondering what a full body skin exam involves or if you even need one. Well here are the facts. More than 1 million newly diagnosed skin cancers will be detected this year through annual skin exams. In fact, recent estimates show that 1 in 5 Americans will be diagnosed with a skin cancer during their lifetime. Basal cell and Squamous cell skin cancers are the most common and are often easily treated if detected early. Malignant melanomas, the more dangerous type of skin cancers, are also on the rise and estimates show that close to 1 out of every 60 people will be affected with this type of skin cancer.

Marge Maciag, Executive Officer Cape Coral Sail and Power Squadron

“Come for the Boating Education … Stay for the Friends.”

Cape Style Magazine

The Cape Coral Sail and Power Squadron excels in providing boating education. Whether it be from an 8 week class, week class, or 2 hour seminar, residents are becoming more knowledgeable on the water. But, all work and no play tend to make Jack and Jill a dull pair so they also hold many on and off the water member recreational activities and social events, as well as provide civic service.

The Squadron offers a wide selection of classes and seminars in a fun and relaxing environment.

Recently, a seminar called “Wine Knot” was held to teach how to tie nautical knots paired with delicious appetizers and wines. The next seminar was titled “Hurricanes and Boats” in May. The timing was perfect for our area and the information provided could prove to be very useful. During strong winds, should you leave your boat on the lift or is it better to tie it to a dock? If you’re ready for a more indepth class, try the “America’s Boating Course” (ABC) which lasts for weeks and is offered monthly, except for July, August and December.

Members of the Cape Coral Sail and Power Squadron (CCSAPS) love to socialize on and off the water! It is not required to have a boat to participate in many of these boating activities. Both overnight trips and day trips are planned each month. Hotels are available for those who don’t want to sleep aboard and members can drive their cars to these events if they wish. Kayaking has become very popular with members. Most kayakers own a kayak, but one can usually be rented near the launch site. Recently, CCSAPS participated in the Cardboard Boat Regatta held at Four Freedoms Park. Under the leadership of Peter Brandt, they entered the SR-71 “Blackbird” and took 1st place for Best Original Design

and Best Construction/Construction Technique.

“Giving back to the community” is seen as important to CCSAPS members. Co-operative Charting is a valuable public service their members perform to make the waterways safer by reporting chart discrepancies and sending corrections to NOAA. Another important service is to provide Vessel Safety Checks (VSC). This is a courtesy examination of your boat to verify the presence and condition of safety equipment required by State and Federal regulations. There is no charge or penalty involved. Sign up for an examination at Squadron Harbor. Have out of town guests visiting with children? The Child Life Jacket Loaner Program allows you to borrow life jackets for visiting children. Stop by at Squadron Harbor to take advantage of this program.

And let’s not forget our youth!

Cape Coral Sea Scout Ship #840 has proven to be a very active segment of CCSAPS. It provides activities both land based and nautical for gentlemen and ladies 14-21 years of age. Their meetings are held at Squadron Harbor. For more information, contact Sean Hassett: seantropix@embarqmail.com Membership Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 19 0 (7: 0 p.m.) at Squadron Harbor, 917 SE 47th Terrace, Cape Coral, FL 904.

Everyone is encouraged to attend to find out what is going on and to socialize. For further information, stop by Squadron Harbor Monday through Saturday between 0900 and noon or call the office at (2 9) 549-9754.

The experience is unforgettable - right from the get go.

Roy’s Restaurant welcomes you with open arms as you step inside its doors. One may expect to be greeted with a lei but most often - I would presume - a cocktail menu offering abundant and unique alcoholic creations.

My selection was the Hawaiian Martini made with Maui Pineapple drenched in SKYY Vodka and Stoli Vanil Malibu Coconut Rum. Martinis required! This will bring you to straight to the tropics, not to mention a perfect pairing with the Ahi Tuna Poke, overflowing with large chunks of fresh tuna and avocado on a bed of rice with a dollop of red roe on top.

A brilliant tidal wave of Hawaiian and Polynesian dishes began with the Szechuan Spiced Pork Ribs, smoked and glazed in Roy's Original Mongolian Sauce. I was enveloped by the aroma as I sank my teeth into this moist meat. The sauce had a nice flavor profile with a hint of brown sugar that married well with this fine pork. Hot towel follows thereafter - because you will need one when you’re through with these babies!

There was a real luau feel going on. The open kitchen reveals the essence of all Roy's culinary creations with wood burning oven and the hum of busy chefs. I spotted a lovely looking sushi roll making its way to the bar area and made a mental note to try this on my next visit. Although the restaurant was full of patrons it was relatively quiet due to good acoustics and spacious area.

Next on my plate was a perfect intermezzo; Small Salad with fried goat cheese and a perfect round of Applewood Bacon, which looked like a bacon disc, dressed with blue cheese and peppercorn.

The grand finale was Seared Sea Scallops with potato purée, pork belly, fennel, apple and honey coriander glaze. This was 5 out of 5 on a scallop scale! Scallops so large and fresh they were bursting with deliciousness. The dish was masterfully done both visually and in taste. So much so, that the couple at the table next to me asked what I was having and ordered two plates for themselves.

I was surprised that what came next was as supple and as delightful as a summer breeze; Roy’s famous Pineapple Upside Down Cake containing caramelized pineapple baked with brown sugar in a light fluffy pound cake accompanied with fresh fruits and a coconut ice cream.

Conclusion; Roy’s is not just a dining experience. It’s like taking a small vacation through a porthole with food and craft cocktails to delight the senses. Every appetizer eats like a meal and each entree, a celebration. Make sure to visit their web site, join their ‘ohana’ (family) and receive periodic notifications of cooking classes, special wine dinners, events, offered discounts and featured specialty cocktails.

Fun fact: The first Roy's was opened in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1988 by namesake Roy Yamaguchi, a James Beard Award winner.

Marilyn Frank, Collage

Marilyn Frank was born and raised in the Midwest. Her artistic abilities were recognized early and her schooling was concentrated in the Arts. She was exposed to many mediums and trained in specialized areas that most exemplified her talents and interests. Marilyn received scholarships and has been acknowledged for her artistic merits.

Having lived on both coasts her career choices have reflected her artistic abilities, which included window decorating, jewelry display designing, silversmithing florist and interior design. After working in the corporate world for twenty five years Marilyn took early retirement to care for her parents in Cape Coral, Fl. Her retirement years have enabled Marilyn to exclusively commit to her art. She is currently focusing on graphite and colored pencil drawings which are used in her collages.

Marilyn is single and serves as handmaiden to her tuxedo cat, Nelson. She is a deacon in the Presbyterian church and in her leisure time she enjoys the area beaches and spending time with friends.

Amparo Monserrath, Sculpture

Amparo Monserrath was born in Venezuela on October 22, 195 . Her parents were Colombian. At years old, Amparo went to live in Colombia where she began her studies in art. She wore art in her veins. In the se-cond grade, she carved with a pen tip, hands in pieces of chalk that fell from the board. From that time, she began to carve figures in many materials, especially cedar wood. She entered the National University of Colombia, where she obtained her degree in Chemistry.

Throughout her life, she has made sculptures and paintings in her spare time. She has made several monumental sculptures cast in bronze lost wax in Colombia and they have been dedicated. She has made personalized sculptures and shipped to several areas of the USA and Latin America.

This is her first exhibition of original sculptures of various themes.

A certificate of course completion meets state educational requirements for power boat operators. A Florida state ID card will be issued on successful completion of this course.

The ABC Course consisting of six 2 hour evening classes held on Monday and Wednesday evenings beginning at 7:00 p.m. (Students should arrive by 6:45 p.m. on the first night to complete paperwork.)
