" HOW WEIRD
SIS THAT?!
SEAN MCCARTHY
Spend any time surfing
the Web and you are
bound to find stories
that are just too bizarre to
be true. Here's a sampling,
edited for length. And
remember, just because
it's online doesn't mean it's
true!
From msnbc. msn.com:
Woman lay dead in bed
for eight months
The body of an elderly
woman remained in her
bed for up to eight months
even though caretakers
paid daily visits to the
house and kept it tidy,
authorities said.
New Hanover County
District Attorney Ben-
jamin David told a news
conference that a conceal-
ment of death charge
would be filed against a
family member, although
he declined to identify the
person by name.
"There is no question it
was known to the family
and should have been
communicated to law
enforcement," he said.
"This is not tolerated
under North Carolina law
and it is not tolerated by
this law enforcement
community."
Failure to report a death
is a low-level felony in
North Carolina. David said
the person charged may
not face jail time depend-
ing on any prior criminal
record.
From news.yahoo.com:
Self-styled vampire jailed
for threatening judge
A man who claims to be
the leader of a group of
vampires has pleaded
guilty to charges he
threatened to torture and
kill an Indianapolis judge
and his family.

Councilman to
fight to keep seat
By Jessica Tuggle
jtuggle@hometownnewsol.com
VERO BEACH Before
the end of the year, Char-
lie Wilson, former Vero
Beach city councilman,
hopes to have acquired a
legal stay to keep his seat
and has filed an appeal to
a judge's ruling that
removed him from office.
At a press conference
on Dec. 15, Mr. Wilson
said he intends to contin-
ue fighting to stay on city
council, and he has a
chance to continue as a
councilman during his
appeals process if a stay
is granted.
Mr. Wilson's attorneys
will request that Judge
Paul Kanarek issue the
emergency stay, or a tem-
porary suspension of the
ruling that removed him
from office, by Dec. 31.

Childcare
agency plans
expansion
By Jessica Tuggle
jtuggle@hometownnewsol.com
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY Even
in the midst of a sluggish economy, a
nonprofit organization championing
quality childcare, is moving forward
with a campaign to provide more
families with affordable, quality child-
care.
Childcare Resource of Indian River
County has been investing in the lives
of hundreds of children since 1994,
and hopes to benefit them even more
with a new education center in 2010.
Currently, Childcare Resources

When shopping, be sure
to lock your vehicle and
remove all valuables from
sight, said Jeff Luther,
director of media rela-
tions for the Indian River
County Sheriff's Office.
Be careful how you
carry wallets and purses;
rear pants pockets and
purses with open flaps are
easy to pick, a press
release said.
After going through all
the goodies and gifts from
the Christmas celebra-
tion, it is better not to dis-
pose of the packaging in
your trash can, officials
said.
Instead, break down
boxes for TVs, stereos,
computers, etc. and turn
them inside out before
putting them in the trash,
or take the cardboard
directly to a recycling bin,
a Sheriff's Office press
release said.
Locking doors, windows
and shutting garages can
go a long way to impeding
theft, Mr. Luther said.
When leaving home for
the holidays, the National
Crime Prevention Council
recommends stopping
mail and newspaper deliv-
ery. Having piled up mail
and newspapers is a tell-
tale sign to burglars that
no one is home.
Holiday parties often
include drinks with
friends, so to be safe,
police recommend desig-
nating one sober driver.
Party hosts can help facili-
tate fewer potential acci-
dents by providing non-
alcoholic drinks for
drivers, Sebastian Police
Officer Steve Marcinik
said.

Center to
get spruce
up without
new taxes
By Jessica Tuggle
jtuggle@hometownnewsol.com
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- The Gifford Community
Center will be spruced up
soon, and without placing
any additional taxes on
residents, thanks to a
recent decision by Indian
River County Commis-
sioners.
Commissioners voted 4-
0 to approve county budg-
et director Jason Brown's
renovation budget pro-
posal during the Dec. 15
meeting.
The proposal includes
using funds from 1-cent
sales taxes and municipal
taxes. Previously, it was
thought that in order to
fund the project, addition-
al taxes would need to be
placed on the residents.
"I'm so happy to hear
there is an alternative (to
fund the project)," said
Freddie Woolfork, director
of the Gifford Youth Activi-
ties Center.
County staff and Gifford
residents identified
approximately $174,000 in
immediate needs, includ-
ing restroom upgrades

are a nation of
laws, and second, the right
of the voters to have their
vote count," said Mr. Wilson.
A circuit judge ruled earli-
er this month that Mr. Wil-
son was not eligible to be a
councilman after he was
elected to the position on
Nov. 3, because he did not
meet residency require-
ments set forth by the city.
Calling the ordinance that
outlines the eligibility
requirements of a coun-
cilmember a "poorly written
law," Mr. Wilson said the
whole situation could have
been avoided had city lead-
ership been proactive and
clarified the ordinance.
Mr. Wilson's strong stance
on opening communication
lines with Florida Power and
Light in light of a sale of the
city's power plant has been a
rallying cry for many in the
public, evidenced by Mr.
Wilson obtaining the most
votes in the November elec-
tion.
During his short tenure,
Mr. Wilson was able to get
enough votes on the council
to start talking with FP&L
about the possibility of sell-
ing the power plant and
helping electric customers
get a little immediate relief
from their big bills with a
temporary partial payment
plan for the holiday season.
He plans to continue
working toward bringing
"fairness and sanity" to the
electric utility and the coun-
cil, if he can be reinstated.
"The will of the people
should not be overturned,"
Mr. Wilson said.
During this process, he
has been made aware of
some negative sides of how
the city is managed and
wants to change it from the
inside out, beginning with
employing a new city man-
ager and city attorney.
"We have been dealt a set-
back, but we are continuing
the fight at a higher level,"
Mr. Wilson said.
"Let me tell you, it's on,"
he said.

works with private, accredited
childcare centers to place
children from qualifying fami-
lies in safe environments, but
with the expansion, Childcare
Resources would be able to
provide for more than 50 chil-
dren with their own care
providers.
The Childcare Resources of
Indian River Education Cen-
ter would be located in leased
space at Trinity Church in
Vero Beach, said Sarah Starr,
community relations director.
The five leased classrooms
will provide adequate space
for 53 children, with 35 of
those spaces reserved for
infants and children under 5,
she said.
"It was not feasible for us to
do a large scale capital cam-
paign. This will take $275,000
to start up and is much more
affordable," Ms. Starr said.
With "modest renovations,"
including new carpets, furni-
ture, etc., the center could be
open as early as July 2010, she
said.
"Every year there are about
1,500 babies born in Indian
River County, and half of them
are Medicare babies," said Ms.
Starr.
Usually the parents of the
children have to work, but
there are very few places that
offer licensed, quality and

From page Al

Association and real estate
broker, highlighted his expe-
rience in managing large
budgets and developing
strategic long-term plans in
his cover letter explaining
his interest in the open seat.
Tracy Carroll, a current
member of the city recre-
ation advisory board, decid-
ed to submit her application
to represent the "silent
majority of voters in our
community- the working
parents and families who so
often are underrepresented
in government."
She said in her letter that

affordable places for the
youngest age group of chil-
dren, 8 weeks to 2 years.
There are only 32 licensed
spots for children in that age
bracket, and they are always
full, Ms. Starr said.
The waiting list for all child-
care services at the nonprofit
can be anywhere from 100 to
300 names long, she said.
Childcare Resources serves
the population segment of
families who do not qualify
for other childcare programs,
such as HeadStart, because
their income is too high, yet
not high enough that they can
afford quality childcare.
"It can be by as little as $1 a
year too much. There just
aren't any options," Ms. Starr
the issues of "inflated elec-
tricity bills" and the denials
of parks in her "backyard"
compelled her to action.
Ken Daige, former coun-
cilman, decided after much
consideration to throw his
hat in the ring, as well.
Mr. Daige was the third-
highest vote getter in the
November election and
noted that his diligence in
attending board meetings
and city council meetings
proves his ability to fulfill
the duties of a councilman.
Richard Kennedy, who has
been an alternate on the city
planning and zoning com-
mittee since 2007, said he
was enthusiastic about the
chance to serve his city and
help resolve issues such as
utility regulation, economic
said.
Having good childcare
available for families is benefi-
cial to the whole community,
she said.
"Some people don't realize
how important it is to kids and
families to have a safe, afford-
able place to go," Ms. Starr.
When parents know that
their child is in a good envi-
ronment, they can relax and
focus more on their jobs,
which in turn leads to better
employees and better busi-
ness practices, she said.
While at the childcare cen-
ters, children are taught skills
that will help them going into
a kindergarten classroom.
Studies have proven that a
child who is behind the
development and unem-
ployment.
William Mills, a real estate
broker and small business
owner, served on the Indian
River County space needs
committee and stated his
desire to help the city with
his knowledge and experi-
ence of growth and expan-
sion.
Roger Redd, a former
finance commission mem-
ber also submitted an appli-
cation. In his application, he
suggested former Mayor
Warren Winchester for the
open position, but Mr. Win-
chester has not indicated
any interest.
City council voted to fill
the vacant seat through an
interview process similar to

"The first years matter the

munity is what makes the
campaign so necessary, but it

Traffic problems are cause for concern
To the editor:
I am researching and trying to bring attention to a recent
problem that we have encountered inVero Beach.
As you may or may not know, the county recently paved
(asphalt) 8th Street between 82nd Avenue and 66th Avenue.
This area is predominately equine/
livestock and where horseback riding used to be enjoyed by
adults and children on what was previously a dirt road with
very little traffic.
Within this mile stretch of road, we have more than 50
horses and more than 100 cows or other livestock. We now
have a paved road, increased traffic, speeders, large tractor
trailer and just plain careless drivers.
We were supplied no signs for drivers to use caution when
horses are present.
I, myself, horseback ride frequently and usually have chil-
dren on horses with me.
I have called the Indian River County Sheriff's Depart-
ment several times to monitor the area and they have done
everything they are able to do being short staffed.
Most importantly, the children, my daughter included,
waits for the bus in the morning with little visibility due to
the fog. Drivers in excess of the speed limit passing the
school bus and other vehicles on this narrow road is a for-
mula for an accident.
Further, on several occasions I have witnessed
horses/livestock escape from their pastures and use 8th
Street as their escape route. This is also a bad situation
when a driver exceeding the speed limit is unable to stop in
time to avoid an accident.
I hope with so much liability as stake that this matter will
be taken seriously and steps will be taken immediately to
remedy this situation.

Got something to say?
Call the Hometown Rants & Raves line at

Callers are asked to refrain from making slanderous
statements. Statements of fact will be checked for
accuracy.
Discrimination against single people?
A local golf course charges a married couple $1,203 for an
annual membership but they charge single people $1,792.
Why are they charging them $500 more? Why do they dis-
criminate against single people? That's not right.
Leave dogs home
I recently went to an art show and was surprised by the
number of dogs present. Dogs don't know a thing about art.
I didn't go there to see and hear dogs. I went to view art. I
don't understand why some people feel it necessary to
bring one, two and three dogs to those types of events. I
have a dog, and I wouldn't bring him to an art show. Some
dog owners are so inconsiderate.
Will the stimulus bill work?
The world's all-time biggest spender has signed a $24 bil-
lion economic stimulus bill, which is supposed to encour-
age job creation. No one knows if it will be effective.
Of course, the best way to proceed would be to get the
federal government to step back, get out of the way and
allow private enterprise to perform as it always has, based
on the proven concepts of individual initiative and eco-
nomic freedom.
Want security?
If you want total security, go to prison. There you are fed,
clothed, given medical care, and so on.
The only thing lacking is freedom.

An estimated 200 to 300 people, concerned by the direction of healthcare reform, gathered in the parking lot of Vero
Radiology Associates to voice their opinion last Friday, Dec. 18. The Indian River Medical Society sponsored the event
called a rally for 'Meaningful Healthcare Reform.'
Party hearty, but party safe
It's a party time of year
and nobody wants to be
the party-pooper who
reminds everyone that
drinking and driving don't
mix.
I'm happy to be the
designated messenger for
this party-season: drinking
and driving don't mix and
there are many ways to have
a great holiday party
without putting yourself or
your loved ones at risk.
Mothers Against Drunk
Driving offers tips for hosts
and party-goers to avoid
becoming statistics during
the holiday season.
You can find their "Have a
Ball, Baby!" safe party guide
at the MADD Web site,
www.madd.org/programs.
If you still have doubts
about the dangers of
drinking and driving, and
still feel that the holiday
time is different, and you
can relax the rules, MADD
offers the following sobering
statistics:
In a recent year, 17,602
people were killed in
alcohol-related crashes,
which is an average of one
every 30 minutes
Alcohol-related deaths
account for nearly 41
percent of all traffic fatalities
Many more people are
seriously maimed and
injured in alcohol-related
accidents
If you are having a holiday
party, and this includes
ALIVE
Fi -U & WELL
S-SHELLEY KOPPEL
barbeques and tailgate
parties, as well as traditional
holiday events, there are
things you need to know to
keep your party safe. This is
not only being a good,
responsible host. If you
serve liquor, you may be
liable for accidents caused
by your guests. It is the
responsibility of hosts to
make sure no one drinks
and drives, including taking
keys, calling cabs and
finding people who haven't
been drinking.
Guests have a responsibil-
ity, as well, to make plans in
advance for a designated
driver, taxi or alternate
means of transportation.
The following dos and
don't are taken from the
MADD Web site. For
information on volunteer-
ing or joining one of the 25
chapters in Florida, go to
www.madd.org./fl.
If you are the victim of a
drunk driver, you can call
the toll free hotline, (800)
772-6233.
Do:
Have a "bartender" who
can keep track of how much
someone is drinking. Never
allow drinks to be served to
minors. Remember that a 12
oz, can of beer, a 5 oz. glass
of wine, and an ounce and a
half of "hard" liquor contain
the same amount of alcohol.
Stay within your own
drinking limits so that you
can keep an eye on your
guests.
Offer non-alcoholic
alternatives, and if a guest is
drinking too much, offer to
freshen up the drink with a
non-alcoholic version.
Close the bar 90 minutes
before the party ends and
serve dessert and coffee.
Coffee will not sober
someone up; only time will
do that. It takes about an
hour to oxidize each drink.
Offer lots of high protein
foods cheese, deli meats
and shrimp so guests
don't drink on an empty
stomach.
Get your guests talking
or playing games. Have an
amateur fortune teller.
When people are busy, they
drink less.
If you're serving alco-
holic punch, use a non-
carbonated base such as
fruit juices. Alcohol is
absorbed more quickly into
the bloodstream with a
carbonated base.
Have a plan if a guest
has had too much to drink;
arrange a ride, call a taxi or
ask them to spend the night.
If you're a guest, you're
not off the hookld
Know your limits.
If you're with a group,
arrange in advance who will
be the designated driver.
Don't arrive on an empty
stomach and eat through-
out the evening. Remember
that salty snacks make you
thirsty; if you need some-
thing to quench your thirst,
choose a non-alcoholic
alternative.
Remember that you are
ultimately responsible for
your behavior. Don't put
your host on the spot by
drinking too much.
Have fun, have a great
holiday and don't let a lapse
in judgment and good sense
turn into a tragedy. That's
not how you want to
remember this holiday
season!

Downloading made simple
One of the things I often
hear when I ask a new
user what they want
to learn about their comput-
er is, "I want to learn how to
download."
Of all the things people
can do with their machines,
downloading seems to be a
concept that's shrouded in
mystery.
We hear about it all the
time, "just go to www.what-
ever.com and download
your copy today." or "I just
downloaded an update to
my anti-virus software; my
machine should be well-
protected now."
What exactly do they
mean by downloading? How
come no one ever explains
it?
Well, it's one of those
concepts that, for the most
part, is 90 percent automatic.
That's why there isn't much
written about it for the end
user.
Let me explain. Whenever
you visit aWeb site, any
picture, sound, text, etc.,
displayed is stored on the
computer that hosts it. When
you access the Web site, all of
that stuff is transferred from
their computer down to
yours, so it can be displayed.
Since this transfer is going
from the Web site down to
your computer, the data is
said to be downloading.
So, basically, every time
r,
A
r'
COMPUTE
THIS
SEAN MCCARTHY
you access aWeb site, you
are automatically download-
ing lots of stuff.
The direction the data
flows is what makes the
difference between down-
loading and uploading.
Data that comes down
from the 'net to your
machine is considered
downloaded, while data that
leaves your computer and
goes up to the 'net is consid-
ered "uploaded."
When you send your mail,
the data goes from your
computer up to the mail
server; it's uploaded. When
you get your mail, it comes
down from the mail server;
it's downloaded.
Now when typical stuff is
downloaded from aWeb site,
it's usually displayed as being
downloaded (back in the
days of dialup, the pictures
would seem to slowly form
before your eyes).
The confusion about
downloading comes from
those times when the file you
are trying to access is
something other than a file
that can be displayed as it
comes in. In these cases, you
have to save the file to disk
and then access the file
manually.
This isn't as complicated
as it may first seem. When
you encounter a file like that,
typically a "save as" dialogue
box opens and the computer
wants to know where on
your computer you want to
save the file.
This is logical; the
machine needs a place to
store it as it comes in. Save it
to the desktop or create a
folder specifically for it on
the hard drive but, regardless
of where you save it, you
need to note what folder it is
being saved in and what the
file is named. That way, after
the download is complete,
you can use that to navigate
to that folder and double-
click the newly downloaded
file.
The next thing that tends
to cause confusion is what
happens when you down-
load something that your
machine doesn't know how
to open. For instance, say
you just downloaded a .pdf
file but you have no .pdf
reader installed on your
computer.
When you go to open it,
the computer displays a
message asking you what
program to use! This can be
very intimidating if you don't
understand the message but
you know what? The
download worked fine!
The file did indeed transfer
from the internet down to
the computer, the computer
just doesn't know what to do
with it and is relying on you
to tell it what program to use.
Not sure what program to
use? Here's a hint: take the
three-letter extension (in this
example .pdf) and search on
google for "what program
opens .pdf." Google will then
come up with a list of what
programs will open your file.
Another area of confusion
comes from things that
automatically downloaded,
things such as anti-virus or
Windows updates are often
downloaded in the back-
ground so there is usually
little (if anything) that you
have to do but, since every-
one knows how important
updates are, people can get
stuck trying to figure out how
to download things that are
already taken care of.
The trick there is learning
how to verify automatic
downloads worked the way
they are supposed to have.
Well, that's downloading in
a nutshell. Have a merry
Christmas and I hope this
helps!

TREASURE COAST -
Eighty-two Indian River
State College students were
recently recognized for their
academic achievement by
induction into the Nu Iota
Chapter of the Phi Theta
Kappa International Honor
Society.
The IRSC Phi Theta Kappa
chapter also won a Pinnacle
Award and two $45 mem-
bership scholarships for
increasing membership by
10 percent above last year.
During the ceremony, stu-
dents participated in the
traditions of candle lighting
(the symbol of knowledge),
taking a white rose (symbol-
izing intellectual friend-
ship), reciting the Phi Theta
Kappa oath of membership
and signing the member-
ship book.
The keynote speaker, Ann
L. Decker, executive director
of the IRSC Foundation,
commended the newly
inducted members on their
continuous dedication to
academic excellence and
shared the history of Phi
Theta Kappa, as well as the
impact the organization will
have on the future successes
of Indian River State Col-
lege.
She also encouraged new
members to honor the four
hallmarks of the organiza-
tion: scholarship, leader-
ship, fellowship and service,
through active participation
in the chapter.
These students have
achieved a 3.5 grade-point
average or higher while car-
rying a full course load of 12
hours.
Phi Theta Kappa is an
international honor society
and focuses on the recogni-
tion and encouragement of
academic achievement.
It is the largest honor
society in American higher
education with 1,100 chap-
ters located around the
world and more than 1.3
million members since its
founding in 1918.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- Rock City Gardens donat-
ed a butterfly garden to Storm
Grove Middle School, Indian
River County's newest and
only "green" school.
The garden is located in the
front of the school, outside
the performing arts building,
so everyone can enjoy the
landscaping. The garden is a
way to help Storm Grove
expand on the environmental
aspects of the school.
Melissa Sleeper's sixth-
grade advanced science class
tends to the garden, watering
it every other day and check-
ing on its progress.
"This is an excellent way for
the students to interact with
their natural surroundings,"
said Shawn O'Keefe, princi-
pal.
"One of Storm Grove's big
founding ideas is to construc-
tively connect to biological
systems, and this is one way
the students are able to do
that," he said.
A second butterfly garden,
also being donated by Rock
City Gardens, is planned for
the outdoor green classroom,
largely funded by Syngenta
through the Education Foun-
dation.

Caring for plants after the holidays
Hope you and your family
had a wonderful Christmas
holiday and a have a happy
and safe NewYear!
Now that the holidays are
coming to a close, many of us
will have an abundance of
holiday plants to nurture for
an entire year. One of the
most popular gifts of the
holiday season are amaryllis
bulbs.
Amaryllis bulbs are
relatively easy to take of. If
you give them adequate water
and bright light, they should
bloom in about six weeks. The
best way to water is to keep
the plants evenly moist. Do
not water so much that the
plants are sitting in standing
water.
Keep the plants on a
windowsill or protected porch
for best results. If your bulbs
are too small, you may have
to wait until next year before
you get blooms to form.
If you received a Norfolk
pine, you can successfully
grow them indoors. As a
matter of fact, I recommend
that you either grow them
indoors or plant them in a
container. I do not recom-
mend planting them out-
doors.
These trees do not fare well
in hurricane-force winds and
they grow extremely large.
With that said, Norfolk pines
will do extremely well in an
indoor environment, as long
as there is ample light.
Position your plant near a
window where it will receive a
bit of sun daily.
These plants will do best if
they are watered on a regular
schedule. Keep the plants
evenly moist, not dripping
wet. Norfolk pines enjoy a
humid environment, so if the
plant is indoors, you may find
it beneficial to lightly mist it
from time to time to help
increase the humidity.
Improper watering can
result in needle loss that will
not regenerate. Also, never try
to prune the tree to shape it.
The only pruning that should
be done is for basic mainte-
nance, such as trimming off
dead or yellow lower branch-
es.
In the past, I have discussed
about how to choose and
nurture poinsettia plants
during the holidays. These
delicate plants can also be
planted outdoors after the
season is over.
First, choose a location that
is sheltered away from strong
winds and the full direct rays
of the summer sun. Also,
choose an area where you can
control the artificial light at
night, so you can get your
plants to bloom next season
with minimal effort.
Use a good-quality potting
mix to place your plants in the
ground and be sure it is a
well-drained location. It
might be wise to repot your
plant in a large pot until all
danger of frost and cold

Rocky Flash, 45, also
known as Jonathon
Sharkey, was sentenced in
a Marion County court to
more than two years in jail.
Prosecutors say the man
threatened to beat, torture,
impale, dismember and
decapitate Judge David
Certo, who is presiding
over another case involv-
ing Flash.
Flash claims to be the
leader of a group called
"Vampyre Nation."

0o.'I hlenItd iilh:i' ::OIII Teen
runs up dad's cell bill to
nearly $22,000
A 13-year-old teen was
probably in hot water with
his father after running up
a cell phone bill of nearly
$22,000. Ted Estarija said
he was expecting his bill to
be higher this month after
adding his son to his plan,
but wasn't expecting a bill
of $21,917 in data usage
charges.
The Hayward man said
his Verizon Wireless bill
soared after his son
apparently downloaded
about 1.4 million kilobytes
of data last month. His
plan didn't cover data
usage, so he was charged
by the megabyte. Estarija
said after the first media
reports, Verizon said they
would credit his account
for the entire amount. He
has also suspended his
son's account.
From argusleader.com:
Pair accused of faking
death from bad oysters
A couple was charged in
federal court in Sioux Falls
with faking the husband's
death to collect on life
insurance.
A woman, 39, and her 45-
year-old husband pleaded
not guilty to conspiracy to
commit mail fraud. The
wife was free on bond,
while the husband was
being held without bond.
Authorities said the
woman claimed her
husband died after eating
bad oysters during a family
vacation in Malaysia in
2003. She eventually
settled the insurance case
with two insurance com-
panies for $2 million. FBI
agents informed Sioux
Falls-based Midland
National Life about a year
ago that husband walked
into the U.S. Embassy in
Jakarta, Indonesia, and
asked to renew his pass-
port. The man was arrested
in Guam last month.

My husband and I
loaded our plates with as
many samplings as possi-
ble, while still maintaining
our good manners.
First on the plates were
from the chicken side of
the menu. My bourbon
chicken was exceptionally
tender and well coated in
its sweet sauce. My Gener-
al Tao's chicken was equal-
ly tender, but with the
warm spicy flavor that is
particular to that dish. I
tried a sampling of Lin's
potatoes out of curiosity
and discovered they were
akin to what I know as
home fries, only with an
Asian flair.
My husband was enjoy-
ing the lightly battered
popcorn shrimp and a nice
sampling of the salmon
steak with its slightly sweet
glaze.

Winter concert delights audience
By Barbara Yoresh
Entertainment writer
VERO BEACH The
concerts were presented
Dec. 13 and 14 as "Winter
Wonderland" and, in
truth, the only tangible
hint of winter was the
cool temperature in what
would become a filled
auditorium.
But the festive, holiday-
themed music provided
by able student perform-
ers in the Vero Beach
High School Performing
Arts Center showcased
the best of the winter sea-
son and warmed the
nearly 1,000 in atten-
dance.
Vero Beach High
School's music program
has long been renowned
and award-winning. The
caliber of student musi-
cians' choral and instru-
mental talent is nothing
short of inspirational,
thanks in part to the able
leadership of school con-
ductors James Sammons,
Colbert "Page" Howell,
Matt Stott and Greg Har-
ris, as well as from school
Principal Eric Seymour.
The community at large
has been similarly sup-
portive and appreciative
and the night of Dec. 14
was no exception.
The state-of-the-art
performing arts center
was tastefully decorated
with a huge wreath and
snowflakes suspended
from the ceiling. Special
holiday-themed lighting
effects of angels and
stars, projected onto the
backdrop of the stage,
also lent a festive air.
But the shining stars of
the evening were the
young performers who
treated the audience to
renditions of holiday
standards, as well as less-
er-known musical works.
The two-plus-hour
concert, including inter-
mission, was packed with
a cornucopia of selec-
tions by the school's
choirs, bands and orches-
tras.
With a jazz combo, jazz
band, two symphonic
bands, a show choir,
embassy choir, mixed
chorus, ambassador
choir, freshman choir,
combined choir and
other combinations of
singers and instrumen-
talists, the set changes
alone were almost stupe-
fying yet perfectly chore-
ographed.

arrangements, the pro-

RIVERSIDE THEATRE
"Pure magic! Ella is enchanting!"
"must-see performance." Talkin'Broadway
- Variety .AVe,

'Ella' stars Tina Fabrique as the legendary singer, Ella Fitzgerald.
Bringing 'Ella' to life
By Barbara Yoresh
Entertainment writer
VERO BEACH She was
heralded, among such gifted
contemporaries as Lena
Home, Sarah Vaughn and
Judy Garland, as America's
"First Lady of Song."
Ella Jane Fitzgerald, often
referred to as the "Queen of
Scat," was considered to be
the preeminent jazz vocalist
of the 20th century and her
music and myth continues
to endure since her death in
1996.
In a uniquely special
musical tribute to Ms.
Fitzgerald, Riverside Theatre
presents "Ella," performing
Dec. 31-Jan. 17, which stars
acclaimed Broadway, stage
and TV veteran Tina Fab-
rique.
While "Ella" features 24
glorious songs, the show
also brings focus to a life
filled with difficulties as well
as triumphs.
The show, by Rob Rug-
giero and Dyke Garrison
from a book by Jeffrey
Hatcher, premiered in 2005.
Since then, Ms. Fabrique has
portrayed the legendary Ella
and her performance has
been heralded as "astound-
ing" by The New York Times.
This is one show that the-
ater and music lovers will
not want to miss.
Joining Ms. Fabrique
onstage to re-create the
magic of an all-American
songstress and songbook are
musicians George Caldwell,
Harold Dixon, Joilet E Har-
ris, Rodney Harper, Ron
Hayes and Clifton Kellem.
Speaking from her New
York City home, Ms. Fab-
rique discussed her role.
"I had the privilege of
(previously) doing her mate-
rial for four years with the
Duke Ellington Orchestra,
but it never occurred to me
to play her.
"So as not to be awestruck
by her legend, I decided to
approach her as an actress
developing all the "Ella-
isms," the physicality of her
and got a sense of who she
was as a woman. I dug as
deeply as I could and it gave
me the opportunity to also
embrace the music," Ms.
Fabrique said.
With her own background
in jazz singing that Ms. Fab-
rique referred to as her
"home base," she was more
than capable of singing in
Ms. Fitzgerald's unique
"scat" style, a technique of
wordlessly singing and often
imitating musical instru-
ments through improvised
melodies.
"I tried to embrace her
scat style and you learn it
like any other song. You put
consonants and vowels in
place with the notes like
you'd do with words.
"I do 24 songs in the show
which is really an ensemble
effort, even though I'm the
one who's out front," Ms.
Fabrique said in praise of
her supporting musicians
and technicians.
She extensively studied
film and recordings of Ms.
Fitzgerald in preparation for
the role, but Ms. Fabrique
noted "there's no mimicry"
in her portrayal.
The demands of such
singing are many, Ms. Fab-
rique said.
"If you don't breathe deep
and support well you'll
never make it through those
long phrases she did. I try to
get into the way the music
was made and how she ren-
dered it. She was an instru-
ment," Ms. Fabrique said.
In "Ella" Ms. Fabrique also
delves into the singer's
sometimes topsy-turvy life
and subsequent acclaim.
She was born in 1917 in
Newport News, Va., as the
child of a common-law mar-
riage. Her parents separated

Ella
From page B3
shortly after her birth and
she moved with her mother
and mother's boyfriend to
Yonkers, NY.
As a teen, Ella loved to
dance and enjoyed acts at
the famed Apollo Theater in
Harlem.
When Ella was 15, her
mother died and she was
sent to live with her aunt in
what became an unpleasant
arrangement for the teen.
Her rebellion and unruly
behavior resulted in her
being sent to a Bronx reform
school for black children
where she was beaten. She
later escaped.
Ella lived for a time on the
streets of New York during
the Great Depression. At age
17, she made her singing
debut at the Harlem Opera
House and later competed
in an Apollo Theater's ama-
teur night competition, tak-
ing top prize and $25 in win-
nings.
Her talent caught the eye
of drummer/bandleader
Chick Webb, who gave the
young singer a chance to
perform with his band.
Ella became a regular with
Webb's orchestra and with
them recorded hit songs.
When Webb died in 1939,
the band was renamed and
Ella stepped in as singer and
bandleader.
In 1942, Ella decided to
pursue a solo career and
subsequently entered into
an association that would,
no doubt, seal her fate in
becoming perhaps the best-
known and heralded
jazz/pop singer of all time.
She worked with jazzman
Norman Granz, who later
became her manager.
By the end ofWorld War II,
the "Big Band" era was
winding down at the same
time a new style of jazz was
emerging.
"Bebop" resulted in a
major change to Ella's previ-
ous vocal style and, with her
girlish, pure voice and a
range encompassing three
octaves, she ventured into
"scat," a new musical style
made famous by Dizzy Gille-
spie's band.
Ms. Fitzgerald explained
that while singing with Gille-
spie, she attempted to make
her vocals sound like the
horns in the band. No one
did it more effectively.
She later expanded her
repertoire to include songs
by Cole Porter and others,
which gave her mainstream
appeal. The rest is history.
"Ella" performs Dec. 31
through Jan. 17, 2010 on the
Stark Stage at Riverside The-
atre, 250 Riverside Park Drive
in Vero Beach. Tickets are
$22-$52. For more informa-
tion, call (772) 231-6990.

mouth delicious.
Standard buffet fare
includes the ever-popular
Alaskan crab legs, mush-
rooms, barbequed pork,
mussels, sesame chicken,
wontons, fried fish, egg
rolls and so many other
items.
Dessert items are plenti-
ful, as well. There are pies,
puddings, Oclairs, cream
puffs and traditional Asian
desserts, like the one that I
tried that was made from
tapioca flour and filled with
creamed green beans. They
also carry a peach sweet
bun, which is a dessert that
signifies longevity and
prosperity.
Chef Lin's Asian Buffet in
Vero Beach is the second
buffet started by Chef Lin.
He also has another one in
Chattanooga, Tenn. and is
working on opening a third
one in Georgia. His son,
Edison, is working at the
Vero Beach restaurant
while taking business
courses in college.
"All Chef Lin does is
work, work, work," said Lisa
Luez, hostess and long-
time employee of Chef Lin.
All that hard work is pay-
ing off. The popular buffet
is constantly stocked with
fresh food. Chef Lin over-
sees all of the steam tables
to make sure everything is
up to standard. The busi-
ness is doing well, even
with the slow down of the
economy, and he is
expanding.
With lunch buffet prices
at $6.95 and dinner buffets
at $11.95, the prices fit
average budgets, consider-
ing one can walk out of
there stuffed and com-
plaining of having eaten
too much.
There are three dining
rooms, so it's never over-
crowded and the seasoned
staff keeps the tables fresh
and drinks refilled. The
noise level is moderate.
Dinner entrees are avail-
able on the dine-in menu
and most of those are
priced under $7.95 and
include cashew chicken,
beef with broccoli, shrimp
with broccoli and more.
Appetizers are $3.95 and
under.
Senior specials are 10
percent off for those 60 and
older, birthdays are still free
and with parties of more
than 10, you receive com-
plimentary wine.
Chef Lin's Asian Buffet is
located at 1850 U.S. 1 in
Vero Beach. It is open Mon-
day through Saturday from
11 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and
dinner buffets are available
from 3:30 p.m. until close
and Sundays all day. Chef
Lin can be reached at (772)

Concert
From page B1
gram included delightful
musical interludes by the
show choir, string ensem-
ble, cello and bass sections
of the orchestra, flute
ensemble, percussion
ensemble and by pianist
Kelsey Grabach.
Piano accompanist
Karen Wiggins was superb
in the role that has made
her a favorite throughout
the community's many
performance venues.
There were many proud
parents in the audience
that evening and, perhaps,
even more senior citizens.
But no matter the ages or
relationship to the gifted
young musicians on stage,
there was a collective sense
of tremendous pride in
these young performers.
For me, a former high
school band member
whose older daughter was
a flutist during her own
high school years, it was a
nostalgic return to those
days of practices and per-
formances.
However, the quality and
difficulty of the music
played in "Winter Wonder-
land" was way beyond any-
thing our more basic bands
would have ever dreamed
of playing.
It seemed clear that
some performers might
seriously consider careers
as professional musicians
or singers.
My eyes and ears were
especially drawn to a slen-
der, dark-haired young
woman who played first
violin. She simply dazzled
the audience during a siz-
zling piece entitled "Irish
Legend."
The degree of difficulty
in the fingering and use of
bow during that fast-paced
Celtic delight was utterly
remarkable.
Yet with utmost poise
and a level of professional-
ism way beyond her years,
this violinist evoked all the
magic and myth of that
Emerald Isle through her
instrument. It was truly
spectacular.
Although she sang no
solos, one dark-haired
soprano's pure, strong
voice literally soared above
the rest.
And even from my upper
level seat I could see the
look of sheer enjoyment on
her face as she sang with
perfect pitch con brio.
I most sincerely hope she
considers developing her
glorious voice to its fullest
potential.
The evening was pure joy
and I was enlightened to
learn that young teens
(who in this instance hap-
pen to play instruments)
can do more with their fin-
gers than text message on
cell phones all day.
These young adults are
the best of the best and we
should all take great pride
in their achievements and
support their future
efforts.
"Winter Wonderful" was
a most meaningful holiday
gift.

Celebrate the New Year with special Italian cookies
ello, smart shop-
pers. Hope you had
a wonderful,
blessed Christmas and
Hanukkah.
A reader e-mailed
thanking me for this recipe
her grandmother used to
make. I'm writing on Dec.
14; how strange to write
about the New Year when
we haven't had Christmas.
Let's ring in year 2010!
Here are a couple of New
Year's traditions. Up north,
eat a piece of pickled
herring at midnight and
touch a dollar bill. Sym-
bolically, may there always
be food on the table and
money in your pocket.
Here in the south, you
must eat pork and black-
eyed peas on New Year's
Day.
I can remember New
Year's eve being a celebra-
tion where we made as
much noise as possible at
midnight. I have some
noisemakers from my
parents, given to them by
my dad's parents, that date
back almost 100 years,
wooden handles and all.
No cut fingers from sharp
metal, that's for sure.
To me, it's a capital sin
to be sleeping at midnight.
I used to wake my kids up
just to make noise. Silly?
Childish? Maybe so, but I
hope to never lose that
excitement.

Resolve to love one
another more. Don't think
there will always be
tomorrow. Sometimes
tomorrow never comes.
This week's column is a
tribute to mamma, my
paternal grandmother. For
New Years she made
"cookies," not regular
cookies but special Italian
treats coated with honey
and topped with colored
candy sprinkles.
Many of you are familiar
with Strufoli (honey
clusters), but her other
specialty I bet you've
never heard of. Tordillo,
made with olive oil and
wine, was everyone's
favorite. When I finally
decided to make them, I
kept hearing mamma
saying, "you have to feel
when it's right." Back my
memory went to when I
was 17 and "I remembered
mamma." I asked for the
recipe and mamma said in
her delightful Italian
accent, "you come over
and we do it together."
What I thought was
going to be very easy
turned out to be a bit of a
fiasco when I kept ques-

*Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
parade, sponsored by the
Indian River County Recre-
ation Department. Line up
tioning mamma's instruc-
tions. Here's how it went
while making the tordillos.
Mamma: Dump flour on
the board.
Me: How much flour?
Mamma: "This much,"
she said as she pointed.
"Make a hole in the center
of the flour and pour in 1
glass of wine and 1/2 glass
oil."
Me: "What size glass?"
Wouldn't you know I
meant how many ounces?
Mamma didn't. As her
voice started to rise, she
held up the glass and
shouted, "This size! Now
mix it all together until it
feels right," she said,
determined to go on.
At that point I just
couldn't resist and asked,
"What does right feel
like?"
Well, she threw her
hands up in desperation
and said, "Don't say
another word, you ask too
many questions; watch
what I do and DO it."
In most traditional
cooking, you have to feel
when it's right. I've taken
that "feel" and tried to put
it into measurements for
you in all family recipes I
have written. While
making these cookies, I
think I really learned what
"right" feels like as "I
remembered mamma."
Enjoy. See you next year!

The wine used for these
cookies was muscatel. If
you can't find it, use a
slightly sweet white wine
or a dry white wine. such
as chablis or Chardonnay,
mixed with 1 teaspoon of
sugar.
4 cups all purpose flour
1/2-cup extra virgin
olive oil, warmed
slightly in the
microwave
3/4-cup wine
Canola oil, enough to fill
a medium saucepan
halfway
1 cup honey
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar
Multi-colored candy
sprinkles
Using the dough hook
on your electric mixer or
food processor, mix first
three ingredients together.
Place dough on cutting
board and knead for about
5 minutes until smooth
and silky.
Break off small pieces of
dough and roll into a
cylinder about 1/2-inch
wide and 2-inches long.
Place thumb (or 3 fingers)
in center of cylinder and
press dough down firmly
as you push forward then
towards you, causing the
cylinder to curl and look
somewhat like a seashell.
Fry cookies a few at a
time until golden. Drain
on paper towels.
In medium saucepan,
bring honey and sugar to a
boil, lower heat and
simmer for 5 minutes. Add
cookies a few at a time,
turn to coat. Remove to

Holiday wishes and
Merry Christmas!
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Kwanzaa!
Whatever your religious
belief, I want to wish you
and yours the very best
this holiday season.
I love this time of year.
It's a time for families to be
together and a time for
love and harmony. I just
wish it would cool off
enough to "feel" like the
holiday season. Something
about shorts on Christmas
day while cooking on the
grill just doesn't feel right
to me.
As in many years past,
we have friends, family,
neighbors and even
ourselves who may be
celebrating this holiday
season with a loved one at
war overseas. Keep them in
your thoughts and prayers,
and set a seat aside at your
table so that everyone will
remember the sacrifice
those men and women are
making for us.
Take the time to tell your
loved ones that you love
them. Take a moment to
say hello to a stranger. It's
the time of year where we
all need to be more
human, more kind and
caring.
My favorite Christmas
song is "Happy Christmas"
by the late John Lennon. I
hope you enjoy my "golf"
version. It's my gift to all of
you. God bless and happy
holidays to all.
