Your Island Lifestyle Awaits! Let Us Start Yours With a New J. F. Smith Home!
RISING UP FROM THE ASHES!
In September of 2022 our lives changed forever, as our area was hammered by Hurricane Ian. In the months following the storm we have seen the amazing spirit of Greater Pine Island shine through. As businesses and homeowners have picked up the pieces our islands have started to get to back to life. We at Paradise Publishing are happy to join in with our 2nd edition since the storm. As we celebrate Independence Day this year, we also celebrate the return of the spirit of the island.
The cover of this issue was graciously provided by Jonathan Hunt. Jonathan is an amazing photographer and we couldn’t have found a more perfect cover. The majestic bald eagle soars through the sky, a sign of strength, courage, freedom, and immortality for the American spirit.

Rowing from Pensacola to Key West for Disabled American Verrans
Brian Brennan’s Epic journey to raise awareness and funds for Veterans.
For many March 30th was just another Easter, but not for Brian Brennan. That was the day that Brian started out from Pensacola, FL in his 18ft. rowboat named “DAILY OAR DEAL.” Brian is rowing his boat to Key West, FL. The journey will take him over 900 miles, and an estimated 8 weeks to complete. A veteran himself Brian is determined to bring awareness and funding to the suffering and disabilities affecting our veterans.
June 7th was Brian’s birthday and he just happened to be here in Matlacha to celebrate. The Anglers Inn offered him a place to get showered and catch up on some sleep after having camped on the shores of Bokeelia the night before. Janette, the owner of the Anglers and several other locals joined Brian for dinner at the Blue Dog Bar and Grill.
After resting up, Brian continued on his journey south. You can follow Brian’s journey on Facebook on his page “Rowing for DAV Fundraiser.” Brian is very thankful for his Equipment Sponsors, West Marine and Little River Marine in Gainesville, FL.
Join his friends, family, and supporters following his journey on Facebook. You can donate via his Facebook page or directly by scanning the QR Code below.

TIPS!
At the start of Hurricane Season it’s best to ensure the following documents are in a safe place if you have to stay through a storm and readily available to pack incase you evacuate.
Passports
Wills
Insurance Paperwork
Medical Cards
Social Security Cards
Birth Certificates
Vaccination Records
Any other important documents
Store sentimental and valuable items in a safe place.
Evacuation:
Tips for evacuating your home:
Be sure to grab all important documents. Take plenty of clothes with you as you may not be able to return home for an extended period. Be sure to grab plenty of food for all pets, Pack chargers and any small portable electronics. If time and space allow pack small sentimental and valuable items to take with you.
TIPS FROM THE LOCALS
We recently asked Pine Island locals what tips they would share after experiencing the devastation of Hurricane Ian. Here are some of our top picks!
“Test generators a month before Hurricane Season to give time for repairs if needed.”
-Pineshine Farms
“Buy a waterproof safe with a key.” - Sandy P.
“Don’t fill your fridge and freezer. Stay stocked on nonperishables.”
-Stephanie B.
“Add a small flat TV antenna in your kit. It will grab local TV Stations once you get the generator going.”
-Teri B.
Remember: things can be replaced - your life can’t. For more information check out the Florida Division of Emergency Management. https://www.floridadisaster.org/
“(Stock up on) Spare Tires, plug kits, and extra chains for each chainsaw.” -Ned B.
