ts August in South Florida and many of us have found ourselves
in the surf, sun and sand this summer. However, the heat has many
summer vacationers longing for the cold crisp air of a picturesque winter
wonderland. This winter, ski down the snow-capped slopes of the top
resorts in Europe.
The Alps are location to the most world-renowned and well-recognized ski
destinations on the planet. For those looking for a French twist to their ski
vacation, Val dIsre and Mribel are perfect for serious ski enthusiasts. While
France is a top ski destination, Austria is quickly growing in popularity thanks
to its often lower-priced dining options and legendary aprs ski scene. Lisa
Crawford, Founder & CEO of SitInMySeats VIP Tickets, Travel & Concierge
Services, highly recommends St. Anton and Mayrhofen as two of Austrias
top ski destinations.
Italian ski resorts have also attracted fun-seeking travelers with their
relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere and delectable cuisine. Holidays on
Italys slopes are unforgettable and repeat bookings to top Italian ski resorts
like Sestriere, Courmayeur and Sauze dOulx bear testament to that fact.
If youre looking for world class accommodations and aprs ski thats
a cut above the rest, the Alps have it all. Youll nd luxurious hotels and
chalets in all great resorts, but the most posh resorts like Verbier, Courchevel
Get YourSki On
- D E S T I N A T I O N E U R O P E
and Zermatt are the best places to
enjoy the most rened aprs ski,
fine cuisine and lavish boutique
shopping.
For travelers who believe that
bigger is better, take a look at mega
ski areas like the Three Valleys (the
worlds biggest linked ski area) or
Espace Killy. These areas are so
large that they have plenty of terrain
to suit all abilities within your group
or family.
When planning your next ski
vacation, its essential to know
exactly which destination fits
your needs and desires. Call the
SitInMySeats VIP Tickets, Travel
& Concierge Services team. We
can help you create the perfect
personalized trip. Are you looking for
a massive linked ski area to clock up
the miles, a family-friendly ski resort
with world class ski schools and
childcare, forgiving ski slopes for
beginners, or an epic backcountry
skiing area? No matter what your
ideal ski holiday may be, our team
can make it happen.
For more information on ski
destinations or any other type of
customized trip, please contact
SitInMySeats VIP Tickets, Travel
& Concierge Services at 954-456-
0419/ 866-798-7328 or email Lisa
Crawford at lisa@sitinmyseats.com.

G
reed can be good when it
comes to keeping Dunk
City on the map. Thats
the message from new
Florida Gulf Coast University mens
basketball coach Joe Dooley.
When you have success, one of two
things sets in: complacency or greed.
And I think greed is a good thing,
provided you want to get better,
Dooley told members of the Tiger Bay
Club of Southwest Florida during one
of his rst speaking appearances for
FGCU in June. We want to be greedy
in a positive way, because weve tasted
success. Now its time to move on and
grow the program.
Local fans are expecting big things
from Dooley, who was snatched away
from Kansas where he was assistant
coach for the last decade in one of
the most dominant college basketball
programs in the nation. The
Jayhawks have won their conference
championship for the last nine years,
captured the NCAA Tournament title
in 2008 and nished second in 2012.
Kansas has been the winningest
organization in college basketball
during the last seven years, and
coach Dooley has been a big part of
that, noted Tiger Bay Club President
Ronald Inge, as he introduced him
with the title Mayor of Dunk City.
Dooley said he welcomes the
climate change and the opportunity to
lead a young and successful program
with a growing national reputation.
When you think about how far
weve come in such a short period
of time, how far can we go? Dooley
asked. Were red up and excited
about the opportunity.
FGCU has added some big-name
competition to its schedule and may
see more television exposure this year
as the hot new school for basketball.
But Dooley says an NCAA tournament
appearance is never guaranteed. It
will take hard work and maturity.
Its not as easy to get to the Sweet
16 as some of these guys might think,
he said. Were not going to take
things for granted. This is a new year
and a new challenge.
Although coaching changes always
bring emotion, none of FGCUs
players transferred. The Eagles have
four returning starters, including
Chase Fieler, Bernard Thompson,
and Brett Comer. Dooley and his staff
also have added two transfers: Marc-
Eddy Norelia from Tulane and Julian
DeBose from Rice University.
Weve added two nice pieces,
and I think that will really help our
program, he said.
Dooley has kept the highly
successful coaching staff of Marty
Richter, Michael Fly and Joey
Cantens, plus made some additions to
accommodate the growing program.
Those guys havent screwed
anything up yet, he joked.
The coach plans to further FGCUs
energetic and entertaining style of
play with emphasis on improving
rebounds.
If we cant stop them, we cant
run, Dooley said. The rst thing is
toughness, and that will come with
maturity.
FGCU will kick off its season by
helping Nebraska open its new facility
in Lincoln. North Carolina State
and South Florida are also on the
schedule. Although expectations are
high for the 2013-14 season, Dooley
says the road to success is traveled
one game at a time.
Hes making no public predictions
on another Sweet 16 appearance.
Nebraskas our opening game, so
well worry about Nebraska, Dooley
said. After that, well worry about the
next team. I dont want to get too far
ahead of myself.
FGCU Mens
Basketball:
Meet Head Coach
Joe Dooley
By Laura J. Cummings Gates
W
hile football and basketball may draw the
largest crowds, its the Estero Girls Cross
Country team that outshines the rest
when it comes to dominating a sport, both
regionally and at the state level.
Coached by Estero High School Athletic Director Jeff
Sommer, these super runners captured the schools third
straight state championship last season. Thats a lot
of bling on the dainty, manicured ngers of the senior
athletes, who now have three championship rings.
Its been a nice run, says a proud Sommer, as the girls
presented him and EHS Principal George Clover with their
own super-sized rings, marking the three championships.
Sommer proudly wears his in place of his wedding band.
I told my wife, Women are easier to get than a state
championship, he jokes. Winning three in a row is hard
to do.
Not only did his girls go undefeated for the last three
years, no other team even came close to threatening their
third title. The Wildcats won by a whopping 96 points in
Tallahassee.
Sommer credits the teams dominance to training like
an animal at 5 a.m. before school begins.
That sets us apart from the other teams, says the
coach, who preaches the Three Ds: Discipline, Desire
and Dedication.
Here we honor some of Estero High Schools Most
Outstanding Athletes of 2013 and for those who are
returning, we look ahead.
Estero
High School:
Top Athletes
of 2013
A look back at last school year
and a look ahead at this one
KATY GLADIS SOLIS
cross country and track
Class of 2013
Standing just 4-feet-9-inches in
stature, Katy Gladis Solis has been
a mighty endurance runner for the
Wildcats. Not only did she make
it through high school on as little
as four hours of sleep at night, she
graduated at the top of her class with
a 4.64 GPA.
This fall, shes heading to Ole
Miss on a full athletic scholarship,
and shes studying to become a
pediatrician.
Season Highlights: Broke 18
seconds in a 5K at the state cross
country meet in 2012, nishing
in 17:58 for runner-up. Posted a
personal best of 10:55 in a two-mile
race at the Florida Relays 2013.
How do you mentally prepare
for meets?
At meets, were not the most
serious team. Our team is different.
We just like goong off before the
race and not thinking about it.
What keeps you going during
tough times, on and of the
track?
I keep motivated by having a
positive mind and attitude. I have
always been short and people have
always said I couldnt do anything
because of it, and that drives me to
do my best.
BETHANY JENKINS
cross country, senior
What keeps you motivated to
get up and run before dawn?
Looking at my rings and wanting
another, as well as the support of
my team. Id love to make it a clean
sweep with a win my senior year.
Why do you love the sport?
Running clears my head, and its a
good way to stay in shape, so I can
eat. Im a junk food junkie!
Why do you like being a
Wildcat?
I like the randomness that
happens in the locker room, plus
all the support and fun memories I
have now.
NICK NATARO
football tight end/wide receiver,
senior
Heading into his senior year,
Nick Nataro has already verbally
committed to the University of
Arizona, extending his identication
as a Wildcat. He plans to visit the
campus in July for the grand opening
of the universitys new stadium.
Following last years season, Estero
Football Coach Rich Dombroski left to
coach at Immokalee. During his stint
at Estero, Dombroski turned EHSs
long-standing losing streak around,
taking the team to the playoffs last
fall. Golden Gate head coach Mark
Jackson is replacing Dombroski next
season, and players are hoping to
continue their newfound winning
record.
Season highlight: Making the
playoffs. We were losing to Lehigh
in the fourth quarter. Jason Correll
went deep and scored in the last
minutes of the game, and the sideline
went crazy. We won the game to
make the playoffs.
What do you think Coach
Jackson will bring to Estero
football?
He has a very fast-paced offense.
I like his philosophies. He likes to
throw the ball a lot.
What motivates you to give
your all on the eld?
My motivation is my ultimate
goal of playing college football and
eventually in the NFL. Im just trying
to be better this next season and help
the team out as much as possible.
MARGENS DESIRE
basketball point guard,
sophomore
Margens Desire came from a
basketball family, picking up the
game in second grade. Then tragedy
struck, forcing him away from
the court for two years. His older
brother, Eddie, suddenly collapsed
while playing basketball and died
at age 17. After that, his distraught
father forbade Margens to play.
I prayed to God that my dad
would let me play basketball again,
Margens recalls. When he said, Yes,
I was so happy.
Margens dedicated himself to
practicing eight hours a day, making
up for lost time. Now he is one of
Esteros top players and is looking
forward to a better season, after
a rebuilding year with a new head
coach, Lee Peters.
Peters was the rst Boys
Basketball coach at Estero from
1987-2000, leading the Wildcats to
their only district title in 1998. He
hopes to restore Estero basketball to
a winning program.
How do you think the team will
improve next season?
We didnt really have chemistry
this year, but next season, we have
guys who hang out with each other
and have more chemistry.
Favorite team memory?
When I shot a buzzer-beater in
summer camp. We were down by two
points, and I hit a three.
What keeps you at the top of
your game?
I practice every day because I want
to become better than anyone else.
KYLIE WATERS
softball catcher/shortstop
Class of 2013
Kylie Waters has been on the
Varsity Softball team for all four
years of high school, becoming
captain her sophomore year. As
she graduates, shes headed to
Northwood University in West Palm
Beach, where she will be assured
plenty of playing time. Her future
plans include transferring to a
Division I school after two years and
studying Hospitality Management.
Season highlight?
Hitting an inside-the-park home
run against South Fort Myers we
killed them. I was at-bat right before
I got hurt and was out for the rest of
the season. I drove it down the left
eld line, it hit the fence, and I was
fast enough to get around. It was my
rst home run.
Who are your role models in the
sport?
Jackie Traina and Amanda Josie.
They were seniors my freshman year,
when our team was the best. I played
against Jackie and hit off her, and I
caught for Josie. Ive also been able
to play with some of my best friends.
Why do you love the sport?
Im in love with the game. If I am
having a bad day, I go there and I
forget all about everything else thats
going on. Im gonna bust my butt no
matter what.
CAYLIN CASE &
CHRISTINA GLASE
volleyball, juniors
The Estero volleyball team
recorded a strong season, with
many of the top players returning as
seniors next year. They made it to
the district championship and lost a
heartbreaker against Lemon Bay.
It was pretty upsetting when the
season ended, says Christina Glase,
who will return as a senior. It was so
close of a game, it was hard to move
on without the win. But Im looking
forward to next season.
Favorite team memory: A
team trip to play in Sarasota before
heading to Busch Gardens for some
fun and bonding. We laughed so
much on the ride up there, Case
says.
What keeps you going during
tough times?
Caylin: I have my sister (Kendall)
on the team. She denitely shined
this year, and Im so proud of her. She
is my best friend, and she is always
there for me.
Christina: My motivation comes
from my teammates and coaches and
from love of the game.
RYAN KEEGAN
baseball shortstop, senior
Following the 2011-12 season,
Estero lost 10 graduating seniors.
Last season was a rebuilding time,
with a group of talented sophomores,
like Ryan Keegan, stepping up. The
team surprised by making a run to
the state championship game.
Coach Frank Turco led the
Wildcats to a 75-12 record in the
three years before his seniors left.
Now he has demonstrated his talent
for team rebuilding.
Estero faced Ponte Vedra during
the nal week and lost. It wasnt a
fairy tale ending for this Cinderella
story, but the Wildcats brought a
winning streak into the title game.
Favorite team memory?
We took a road trip to Orlando last
year and played two games against
teams that were really good and beat
both of them. The downtime in the
hotel gave us time to spend together
off the eld.
What do you admire most
about Coach Turco?
Coach Turco denitely knows
what hes talking about. He can relate
to every one of us in some way.

When it comes to college football,
Estero goes Midwestern
A
s we kick off college football season, alumni and fans will ock to
local sports bars for the big games. While Florida schools have a
following here, its the Midwestern schools of the Big Ten that really
draw a crowd.
The University of Iowas Paradise Iowa Club is one of the largest in the
region, with 320 members.
Our tag line is: From the cornelds of Iowa to the beaches of Florida,
its GREAT to be a Hawkeye! says club president Justin McBride. We get
together for every football and basketball game. Our clubhouse is RonDaos
Pizzeria in Fort Myers. We have crowds up to 130-plus for some games.
Six years ago, the Notre Dame Club of Southwest Florida adopted RonDaos
as its ofcial game watch location as well. On the rare occasion the two schools
play on the same night, Notre Dame takes one side and Iowa gets the other.
We get the walls just vibrating, boasts Notre Dame game watch coordinator
Dick Schweers.
For the Alabama game last season, Notre Dame packed more than 200 fans
into the large back room lled with TVs, including one giant screen. RonDaos
owners Gina and Louie Rondao love hosting fan clubs and even opened early
for a Notre Dame game against Dublin that aired at 9 a.m.
The Notre Dame Club hosts a student sendoff party for local Notre Dame
students on Aug. 10 at a board members residence on Fort Myers Beach. The
rst game of the season is Aug. 31 against Temple.

Ohio State also kicks off its season Aug. 31 with a televised game
against Buffalo. Members of the Southwest Florida Buckeye Club
will be gathered at Fade Away Sports Bar & Grill in Fort Myers to
cheer on their team.
Our big fall events are our game watch parties for every Ohio
State football game, says club president John Pilarski. We also
have a big tailgate party before we beat Michigan every year!
This fall, the Buckeyes face Michigan at home on Nov. 30. Be
assured, the U-M Club of Southwest Florida also will be gathering
to cheer on the Wolverines.
The U-M Club has more than 1,000 members in the region of
Collier, Lee and Hendry counties. For game watch parties, they
gather at Tarpon Cove Yacht and Racquet Club in Fort Myers and
Jacks Bait Shack in Naples. The local club also organizes speakers,
a scholarship dinner and a theater night. During baseball season,
the Wolverines will travel south to Estero for a game against Florida
Gulf Coast University.
The Northwestern Club of Naples organizes one event in
Southwest Florida each month, including an annual tailgate party
with Head Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald in the spring.
All of the local Big Ten clubs also get together several times a year
through the Southwest Florida Big Ten Council (which has adopted
Notre Dame). The council organizes a Big Ten Night for Miracle
Baseball, an annual BBQ, participation in the Edison Festival of
Lights and a wine-tasting business mixer.
We have partnered with FGCU in the past when Big Ten teams
come down to play here, and we also have partnered with the
Senior Friendship Centers to help deliver food to needy seniors in
the community, says Iowa Clubs McBride, who also organizes the
Big Ten Council. We encourage each Big Ten school to take one
month so we can have a full year of coverage.
Local clubs include university alumni, as well folks who simply feel
a connection to the school. Theyll be gathering all over Southwest
Florida this fall for camaraderie, philanthropy and game-time fun.

FGCU
Basketball made headlines last school
year. So whats in store this year?
F
lorida Gulf Coast University will welcome about
14,200 students to campus this month as fall
classes resume at the growing university.
FGCU is heading into its 17th year, and
the university has logged much success in its short
history. While the formerly double-digit growth rate is
intentionally being slowed, student enrollment continues
to rise each year, with an even greater bump expected
in 2014 spurred by the Eagles NCAA Mens Basketball
Tournament success.
Whatever gets them to our front door is good, says
FGCU President Wilson Bradshaw. When they come
here, they will nd a very successful, comprehensive
university with great academic programs, great athletic
programs and student organizations.
Along with a new mens basketball coach former
Kansas Assistant Coach Joe Dooley FGCU students,
staff, and community members will see a few more
changes on campus this year.
A new pavilion on the Great Lawn in front of the
library will be dedicated next month in honor of military
veterans. The American ag, Florida ag, and POW/
MIA ag will y proudly above the new gathering area at
Veterans Pavilion.
It was student-proposed and student-funded,
Bradshaw says of the $226,000 pavilion earmarked by
Student Government. They have been unwavering in
their dedication to get this done.
Veterans Pavilion is one of many examples of FGCUs
focus on community. Students were also the driving
force behind the nationally recognized FGCU Food
Forest, a student-run community garden for learning,
as well as gleaning fresh produce. Additionally, students
support their new campus food pantry by collecting
nonperishables at athletic events.
It provides a much needed source of food when they
run out of money and have transient needs, Bradshaw
notes.
No new academic buildings are being built this year,
as the universitys chiller plant has reached its capacity.
Creative scheduling, including a high percentage of
online courses, allows the university to expand academic
offerings using its current space, Bradshaw says.
The university has increased the number of
baccalaureate degrees awarded in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) by 232
percent over the last four years, outpacing every other
DID YOU
KNOW?
2010 FGCU graduate Chris Sale
recently signed a 5-year, $32-million
contract with the Chicago White Sox
(worth up to $60 million with options).
Hes among seven FGCU student-
athletes who have been drafted into
Major League Baseball.
Since FGCUs opening in 1997,
students have contributed more
than 1 million hours of service
to community projects and
organizations, making it a nationally
recognized model.
FGCU has ve LEED-certied buildings
(with another pending certication).
One building, AB7, has met the
strictest requirements of the Green
Building Council to become Platinum
certied.
70 percent of FGCU students take at
least one online course each year,
making classes more accessible to
them while also easing the strain on
physical classroom space.

and number of low-socioeconomic status students who earn a
bachelors degree.
This year, the university is adding 20 new ofces, remodeling
Merwin Hall, and completing a pool for the South Village freshman
complex. Another 500-bed residence hall, Eagle Hall, is scheduled
to open in Fall 2014.
The university also
is welcoming increased
funding from the Florida
Legislature. Last years
$5.2 million budget cut has
been restored, with FGCU
receiving an additional
$6.5 million to enhance
student success. Those
funds will be used to offer
more career services and
enhance honors programs
and the Accelerated
Collegiate Experience
for high schoolers taking
courses at FGCU. The
university also has added
a transitional doctorate in
physical therapy.
Bradshaw says he is pleased
with FGCUs growth, both
academically and on the
playing eld. Last March, he
and his wife Jo Anna traveled to New York Citys famed Carnegie
Hall to hear FGCU musician Priscilla Navarro perform a solo
concert. The following day, they were in Georgia watching both the
FGCU mens and womens basketball teams win in the Atlantic Sun
seminals.
The men took home the championship title the next day and went
on to make it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
People recognize the institution now, Bradshaw says, and its
very gratifying.

WATCH & EAT
If youre looking for a good place to watch a football
game while enjoying quality food at a reasonable price,
try Millers Ale House in Gulf Coast Town Center. Not
only is it a favorite hangout for Florida Gulf Coast
University students, its also a popular place for family
dinners and quick-but-tasty lunches.
Were kind of a neighborhood-type feel, says general
manager Jimmy Chico. We have a value-driven menu
with our price points. Everyone likes a good value.
Nightly dinner specials feature baby back ribs, Maine
lobster, prime rib, jumbo shrimp, or mussels for less
than $13. Lunch specials start at $4.99 and include gyros,
meatloaf, and sh-n-chips.
You can get in and out of here in 20 minutes, get a
large portion with a drink and spend less than you would
at McDonalds, Chico says.
Millers Ale House has 57 high-denition TV screens
with every sports package available. When the FGCU
Eagles faced the Florida Gators in the Sweet 16 last
March, the Ale House hosted a huge party, setting up a
jumbo screen outside with bleachers.
We set records that day, Chico boasts.
