9 HOW WEIRD
IS THAT?!
t 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 ap.org: Burglary
suspects wear permanent
marker
Police had no trouble
identifying two men
accused of trying to break
into an apartment.
Police were responding to
a call about an attempted
burglary when they pulled
over a car matching the
alleged suspects' vehicle.
Inside the car, officers
found two men with their
faces blackened with
permanent marker. Police
said the caller described
two men with painted faces
attempting to break into an
apartment before driving
off.
Matthew McNelly, 23,
and Joey Miller, 20, were
arrested at gunpoint after
officers were told they
might be armed. Neither
man had a weapon.
McNelly and Miller were
each charged with attempt-
ed second-degree burglary.
Both men were released
after posting bond. Attor-
neys for the men declined
comment.
From msnbc.com: Man
puts 16 cockroaches in
mouth on purpose
A Michigan pet store
employee got himself a
mouthful of cockroaches
on purpose.
The Lansing State Journal
reported Sean Murphy
stuffed 16 Madagascar
hissing cockroaches into
his mouth. He was trying to
set a new Guinness World
Records mark and said the
old record was 11. Murphy

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY-
Attention all politicians and
political supporters: Keep
Indian River Beautiful wants
you to bring in your campaign
signs.
At the end of every election
cycle, unclaimed small plastic
signs dot the roadways until
law enforcement picks them
up.
For the second year in a
row, KIRB is spearheading an
effort to reuse and recycle
campaign signs after Election
Day.
"Before you head to your
trash can with sign in hand,
consider donating the
unwanted signs to Keep Indi-


an River Beautiful's Reuse
Exchange Center," a press
release said.
Campaign signs can be
reused to announce yard sales
by covering the existing infor-
mation with poster board or
paint, or wrapped in celebra-
tory paper to direct guests to a
party, said Kristy Sturdivant,
executive director.
Last year, residents brought
between 250 to 500 pounds of
signs, Ms. Sturdivant said.
"They are very easily
reused, and there is no need
for them to go to the landfill
and take up space," she said.

Flying high, earning gold

Sebastian skydiver gets two gold medals from national championships


By Jessica Tuggle
jtuggle@hometownnewsol.com
SEBASTIAN On a good day,
sunshine lights up the rooms in
Mike Paolin's house, but even when
it's cloudy outside, he can count on
his golden medals inside to gleam
and shine.
Mr. Paolin, a Sebastian resident
for more than 15 years and a world-
champion skydiver, recently
returned with his team, Clean Air,
from the 2009 U.S. Parachute Asso-
ciation National Skydiving Champi-
onships in Texas. He added two
more gold medals to his collection.
Nearly 500 skydivers participated
in the national championships in six
skydiving disciplines.


Mr. Paolin's medals came in his
specialty jumps, four-way canopy
formation and canopy sequential
events.
His events involve doing high-fly-
ing figures in a specified formation
in an allotted time, usually 2 min-
utes, Mr. Paolin explained.
The sequence of the formation,
which can include a diamond
shape, is given to the team prior to
their jump. Once the jump is made,
the team must complete the forma-
tions as quickly and safely as possi-
ble, he said.
"We do anywhere between 100 to
300 jumps every year, practicing the
different formations. It can be dan-
gerous if not performed accurately.
That's why we spend hours practic-


ing what to do in an emergency,"
said Mr. Paolin.
Mr. Paolin first fell in love with the
sport in 1977 and began competing
in 1990.
Even with more than 8,500 jumps
under his belt, he has trouble
expressing his exact emotions when
jumping out of a plane and making
beautiful shapes in the air.
"You can ask many different sky-
divers and all of them are going to
say something different. The best I
can imagine is that it's like flying,"
he said.
"It's a great escape from every-
thing that may be going on around

inspiring


messages

By Jessica Tuggle
jtuggle@hometownnewsol.com
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY-
It may only be a scrap of tat-
tered fabric to some, but the
five-pointed stars on U.S. flags
have a different meaning for
Juanita Barnhart.
Ms. Barnhart has spent the
past year neatly cutting out
stars from old American flags
with friends to send a special
message to troops overseas:
they are not forgotten.
"My son-in-law was in Iraq
and some organization in The
Villages sent him a package
and in it was a star from the
flag with a message," said Ms.
Barnhart.
The inspirational message
asks the soldier to carry the
star, which is taken from old
flags, and to remember that
they are not alone or forgotten
while deployed. (See graphic
for complete message.)
"He was so enthused with it,
he asked me to make some
more to give to people. So I
went and got some flags and
started cutting," she said.
Winnie Scalley, Ms. Barn-
hart's sister, is in charge of
gathering the flags for the proj-
ect.
"I get the flags from the
American Legion Post 39, from
their repository of flags that
need to be properly burned,"
said Ms. Scalley.
"I think it lets (the soldiers)
know how grateful we are for
what they are doing. They're

Census
From page Al

census officer manager.
Counting allows for the
proper distribution of fed-
eral funds and representa-
tion in congress, said Ms.
Ogle.
According to the census
Web site, more than $400
billion will be allocated to
communities across the
country, based on the
numbers reflected in the
decennial census.
The 10-question form
will be distributed to
households across the U.S.
and only takes about 10
minutes to complete, said
Jeff Luther, chairman of
the Complete Count Com-


mittee, a local committee
working to ensure every
person is aware of the
importance of the census.
The Complete Count
Committee is looking for
ways to advertise the com-
ing census, so look for fly-
ers and signs at coming
events around the county,
he said.
"The only thing released
from the census are statis-
tics," said Ms. Ogle.
"We don't care if you're
in the country illegally, if
you're a criminal or if
you've got 15 people living
in a multifamily unit. All
we care about is getting an
accurate count," she said.
If the local population is
undercounted, that would
mean less federal funding
and the possibility of los-


ing a seat in the U.S. House
of Representatives, she
said.
Questions on the form
ask number of people liv-
ing in the residence,
names, gender, ages and
ethnicity of said people, a
contact telephone number
and a question about
homeownership.
Though many are con-
cerned about the informa-
tion in the census being
given to other organiza-
tions, census officials say
there is nothing to fear.
"All of the answers are
100 percent confidential,"
Ms. Ogle stressed.
"The president can't
request it, and privacy is
totally covered by our con-
fidentiality statement and
makes us liable for up to


$250,000 in fines or time in
jail. The data is very care-
fully guarded and the
questions are safe and it's
easy to do," she said.
There are other ques-
tionnaires circulating in
communities adminis-
tered by the census
bureau, but they are for
the American Community
Survey, not the decennial
census.
One such questionnaire
has nearly 300 questions
that go into much greater
personal detail than the
census, said Ms. Ogle.
The American Commu-
nity Survey is ongoing. It is
sent to about one of every
nine households in the
country and is the basis is
for to collect statistical
information, such as what


percentage of the popula-
tion drives Toyota vehicles,
she said.
According to the census
bureaus Web site, the ACS
can help communities
decide where to locate
services and allocate
resources.
Ms. Ogle said her office
is only handling the
decennial census.
Census forms cannot be
filled out online, though
that is being considered
for the future, officials
said.
Census takers will be
hired to go into their own
neighborhoods to obtain
responses from people
who have not returned the
forms by March 2010, said
Ms. Ogle. That can't be cor-
rect if the census starts


April 1.
"We hire within the
region, in your specific
neighborhoods, so that
people can do the enumer-
ation in their own familiar
area," Ms. Ogle said.
The majority of census
takers will be hired in the
next spring, she said.
The regional census
office is located at 466 S.W.
Port St. Lucie Blvd., in Port
St. Lucie. The office num-
ber is (772) 361-6000.

and we know it's not the best
thing for students or schools,"
she said.
Legislators listened and
offered support, but stopped
short of making any promis-
es.
"We don't want to mislead
you in that we can pull rabbits
out of hats," said State Rep.
Ralph Poppell, R-Vero Beach.
Funding is hard to come by,
said newly elected Sen. Joe
Negron, R-Stuart.
"The government can't be
immune to market condi-
tions," he said.
In the state's $66.5 billion
budget, 39.1 percent of the
revenue goes to healthcare,
while education is allocated
only 32 percent, said Rep.
Poppell.
"You really have to look at
the big picture to get you
where you need to be," he
said.
"In budgets there are win-
ners and losers," said Sen.
Negron.

From page A1
the moment. It's a really free
feeling and, of course, it's a
massive adrenaline rush,"
Mr. Paolin said.
Mr. Paolin and Clean Air
practice and train for the aeri-
al competitions at Skydive
Sebastian.
"It's one of the main rea-
sons I moved to Sebastian,
and really, it's one of the pret-
tiest places to jump," said Mr.
Paolin.
"When the ocean and the
inlet water is that blue; it's an
absolutely beautiful view."
Mr. Paolin has been the
national champion for the
two canopy events for the
past several years and is
already looking forward to
the next event, the world
championships next June
that be held in Russia.
Mr. Paolin and his team all
have skydiving as a big part of
their lives, but they all work or
do other things, too. In other
countries, the teams that
compete in the champi-
onships are sponsored by the
government and dedicate all
their time to perfecting their
aerial skills, yet Mr. Paolin and
others can compete with
them at the same level.
"We like to rub that in a lit-
tle," he said with a laugh.
Mr. Paolin encourages
everyone who has thought
about skydiving to give it a try.
"Life is short," he said.
"If it's something you're
interested in, try it. Whether
it's once or 5,000 times, it's an
experience you will never for-
get for the rest of your life,"
Mr. Paolin said.


Over the past seven years,
healthcare has moved for-
ward in the amount of bud-
geted money it receives,
largely because of better
arguments on its behalf, the
senator said.
"How you spend your
money says what your priori-
ties are. It's not an arithmetic
concept, it's a values con-
cept," he said.
To get more funding for
education, Sen. Negron
believes it would have to
come from health and
human services money.
Rep. Poppell and Rep. Deb-
bie Mayfield, R-Vero Beach,
took school district adminis-
trators to task for moving
away from the original intent
of a retirement program,
known as the drop program.
The drop program came
about as a result of the edu-
cation system having trouble
getting qualified instructors
to replace retirees. The sys-
tem allows retired individual


to come back to work 30 days
after receiving retirement
compensation.
Participation in the drop
program has increased
tremendously in the past few
years, costing taxpayers hun-
dred of millions, Rep. Poppell
said.
"It was never designed to
extend to this degree and
abuse has come up. It either
needs to be eliminated or
constrained to carry out the
original intent," he said.
Drilling for oil and gam-
bling are also being studied
as sources of revenue for
education, the legislators
said.
Katie Halley, chief of staff
for Sen. Mike Haridopolos, R-
Merritt Island and Kathryn
Rudloff, district director for
Sen. Bill Posey, R-Rockledge,
were also in attendance and
said they would take notes
and comments from the
meeting back to their offices
for the senators to review.

Ms. Barnhart gives the
stars to various organiza-
tions locally and out of state
to send to military overseas
and based around the coun-
try, including Military Moms
ofVero Beach and the Italian
American Civic Association.
The Italian American club
sends 20 to 30 boxes full of
cookies to the troops every
month and are glad to have
the stars in their packages,
said Cindy Foley, a club
member.
"We fill up those boxes as
much as we can and we get
many e-mails from soldiers
telling us thank you," said
Ms. Foley.
"They do feel like we care
when they get letters and
packages. We've gotten two
flags that have flown over
barracks and a picture of
Gen. Petraeus from over
there that we are putting on
display," she said.
The cookies that are sent
are a mixture of homemade
and store-bought cookies,
though the soldiers "love the
homemade ones because
they have stores where they
can get other cookies," said
Ms. Foley.
The best types of cookies
to send are those without
chocolate ingredients, as
tasty as they may be, Ms.

June Vitti, left, and Cindy Foley, both members of the Italian American Civic Association
Ladies Auxiliary, address labels recently for boxes of cookies they were sending to the
troops. Inside the boxes are the verse above and stars cut from retired American flags by
a group called the Star Spangled Angels.


Foley said.
"We encourage people to
make oatmeal, oatmeal
raisin cookies or other cook-
ies that don't have chocolate
in them because it's so hot
over there it melts," she
explained.
Club member Rose
Tufano started the project a
year ago and has built up
the list of soldier addresses
close to 40, covering men


and women stationed in
both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Donations of cookies or
funds from the community
to pay for shipping are
always welcome, as is help
in packing the boxes, Ms.
Foley said.
The next time the group
will assemble to pack cook-
ies and stars will be Nov. 12
at 10:30 a.m., said Ms. Foley.
The idea is to have the


boxes sent to the troops to
arrive in plenty of time for
Christmas, she explained.
"We really want the
Christmas cookies to get
there in time, so we encour-
age people to get involved
with us," said Ms. Foley.
The Italian American Civic
Association is located at

'Green' workshops, lectures


to return to center


By Jessica Tuggle
jtuggle@hometownnewsol.com

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- With a new season
comes a new schedule of
events and programs at
the Environmental Learn-
ing Center for adults and
children.
The 2009-10 program
guide for the nonprofit
education center has been
released and once again
includes environmental-
themed workshops and
lectures, the education
director said.
"We had awesome, I
mean really good respons-
es from last year's lecture
series," said Heather Sta-
pleton, education director.
The overwhelming
majority of programming
at the ELC is geared toward
children and families, but
the lecture series was the
first opportunity the
organization had to direct-
ly target adults, she said.


"We had seven lectures
last year and 65 percent of
the participants rated
them as excellent and
another 25 percent rated
them very good. For this
year, we want to improve
on our already good rat-
ings," she said.
One of the more popular
classes at the ELC last year
was about edible land-
scaping or home garden-
ing.
A similar class, about
eating locally grown foods,
will be given this year in
two parts, Ms. Stapleton
said.
The lecture will be pre-
sented in conjunction with
Indian River State College
and participants will have
the opportunity to learn
about local growers and
what they provide, as well
as learning how to prepare
meals.
Other talks in the lecture
series include coastal
archeology, environmental


art and conservation pho-
tography.
Eight green living work-
shops will be presented
this year, covering topics
from growing edible
mushrooms to ethical
angling and composting
redworms.
The workshops are hands-
on and most are family-
friendly, Ms. Stapleton said.
The lectures and work-
shops do have a cost associ-
ated with them, but the cost
has been kept as low as pos-
sible, she added. Classes
range in price from $10 to
$50, depending on the class,
according to the program
guide.
"The whole idea is to get
people to adopt a more
environmentally friendly
and sustainable living
lifestyle. We provide the
tools for change," Ms. Sta-
pleton said.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- A free memory screen-
ing will take place on Nov.
17 as part of National
Memory Screening Day, an
annual initiative of the
Alzheimer's Foundation of
America, designed to pro-
mote proper detection of
memory problems and
strategies for successful
aging.
Memory screenings are a
significant first step
toward finding out if a per-
son may have a memory
problem. Memory prob-
lems could be caused by
Alzheimer's disease or
other medical conditions.
Now in its seventh year,
AFA's National Memory


Screening Day coincides
with National Alzheimer's
Disease awareness month,
which takes place during
November. Sites across the
country will be participat-
ing.
Memory screenings will
be held at Perkins Medical
Supply, 13000 U.S. 1 in
Sebastian, from 9-11a.m.
and in Vero Beach at 4005
20th St. from 1-3 p.m.
The event features a
face-to-face screening,
which takes only about 5 to
10 minutes, and consists of
a series of questions and
tasks. It is administered by
a qualified healthcare pro-
fessional. The results do
not represent a diagnosis,
and AFA advises those
individuals with below-
normal scores, or those


who have normal scores
but are still concerned, to
follow up with a qualified
healthcare professional.
Warning signs of demen-
tia include: forgetting peo-
ple's names and events,
asking repetitive ques-
tions, loss of verbal or writ-
ten skills and confusion
over daily routines.
Currently, as many as 4.5
million Americans have
Alzheimer's disease, and
the incidence is rising in
line with the aging popula-
tion. Age is the greatest
known risk factor.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- The Indian River County
Healthy Start Coalition is
hosting a luncheon and
annual meeting at 11:30
a.m. on Nov. 9, at the Club
at Pointe West.
The featured speaker at
the luncheon is Kyra Oliv-
er, who launched a nation-
wide This Side Up cam-
paign in 2006. The
campaign is designed to
educate new mothers on
the importance of keeping
babies "This Side Up" for
safe sleep and to reduce
the risk of sudden infant
death syndrome.
This Side Up became the
heartfelt mission of Ms.
Oliver after the sudden,
tragic death of her 4-


month-old son, Hayes.
The baby had been
under the care of a
babysitter and Ms. Oliver
was reluctant to bring up
the subject of SIDS. She
established the Hayes
Foundation in her son's
honor in the hopes of spar-
ing others from such a
tragedy.
The premise of This Side
Up is a simple: distribute
baby onesies and sleepers
with a critical message to
the parents of newborns.
The sleepwear reads "This
Side Up...While Sleeping"
on the front as a reminder
to parents, grandparents,
babysitters and other care-
givers, that babies are
safest sleeping on their
backs. It also features
other tips on the back of
the sleepwear to help
reduce the risk of SIDS.
The Indian River County
Healthy Start Coalition
supports prenatal, new-
born and healthy family
programs through part-
nerships within the com-
munity.


Coalition services
include individual and
group parenting, nutrition
and pregnancy education,
care coordination, breast-
feeding counseling, infant
safety, Lamaze instruction,
sibling integration, mental
health counseling, baby
calming instruction and
Medicaid assistance.
The Healthy Start Coali-
tion also provides referrals
to partners in the commu-
nity who provide food,
clothing, domestic vio-
lence assistance, homeless
shelter and car seat safety
inspection/installation.
The ticket price for the
luncheon and speaker is
$25. The annual meeting
will commence following
the luncheon.

Clearing up the card debate

In response to the reader question 'what's a temporary
card?' in the Oct 23 edition, a temporary alien resident is
issued a Social Security number and a temporary resident
alien card to allow them to work legally, while they seek per-
manent residency under a green card. This procedure can
take two years or more.
The Social Security number and temporary alien resident
card remains legitimate and the person can legally work until
the permanent residency (green card) is approved, while both
Social Security number and temporary card are cancelled if
permanent residency is not approved.
A person with temporary alien residency and legitimate
Social Security number is as entitled to any job as any Ameri-
can citizen, how else would they survive?
America is built upon these immigrant foundations and is
greater for it.

Broken promises

Despite the pledges coming out of Washington about the
advantages of spending more to create a "brave new world,"
the reality is that Americans have no illusions about it and
consider the promises of politicians to be just what they are,
bogus.
In the debate over the proposed government take-over of
the nation's health care system, the shame of it is that we
could fix what needs fixing without destroying the parts which
are working, and without creating a costly new government
entitlement program, which would certainly speed up our
decline into national bankruptcy.

Failed policies

President Obama and the liberals in Congress want to
increase taxes on the U.S. oil and natural gas industry, but
these costs will produce wide-reaching negative effects and
ripple down through the economy at a time when Americans
can least afford them.
Rather than continuing the current failed policy of import-
ing energy from unreliable foreign sources, which erodes our
national security, common sense tells us that we should be
encouraging American companies, a sure way to the road of
economic recovery.

Who's to blame?

Whether we want it or not, Democrats seem determined to
saddle all of us with a hugely expensive plan for universal
access to health care. If previous government programs are
any indication, their plans will simply paper over the long-
term challenges. They envision the establishment of a new
health care bureaucracy.
It reminds us of the bureaucrats total failure in trying to
handle the Katrina disaster. It came as no surprise when
Washington finally admitted that the federal debt has risen to
new records.
The real news is that all this government spending has done
little to improve the situation. In fact, it may have made mat-
ters worse.
The dirty little secret is that our children and grandchildren
will be forced to pay off the obligations, which we have
incurred. No wonder Obama's approval numbers are in free
fall.

What percentage are you?

A just-completed Gallup poll indicates voters, by 61 percent
to 37 percent, believe individuals should be in charge of their
own health care and that 89 percent of Republicans and 64
percent of independents concur. While 65 percent of Democ-
rats feel it is the responsibility of government, the trend is in
the direction of individual responsibility.
The report does not bode well for Obama's plan for a take-
over of our health care.
Editor's note: This particular survey was taken on Sept. 30.

Fearless caregiving 2009, part two


ast week I wrote about
Gary Barg and the
Fearless Caregiver
conferences he gives to
help caregivers learn from
experts and from each
other.
This week, I'll discuss
with Gary Barg why
caregivers need to take care
of themselves, even after
the caregiving job is over.
"Before there is a need for
caregiving, you hope there
is a plan in place," he said.
"During the caregiving, you
must not isolate yourself.
After the caregiving is done,
this is where you really
need to care fore yourself. It
doesn't just end and you
can't just walk away from
that energy or pain."
I know this is true from
my own experience in the
last year. I tried to pretend
that life would continue as
it had. Like the Energizer
Bunny, I kept going-until I
collapsed. I know a lot of
women who've done the
same thing. There are so
many things you have to
confront alone and it is so
scary. It's so much easier to
pretend that life just goes
on.


Gary Barg has seen it all
too often and he has high
praise for bereavement and
support groups.
"We can't let caregivers
fall off the precipice, as if
they don't count," he said.
"Post-care is so important
to us. People come to an
event who aren't caregivers
yet but want to be pre-
pared, and people come
whose loved ones have
passed away but they don't
want to stop. You can be
prepared before, during
and after. It's a way to stay
grounded."
Mr. Barg urges families to
talk about sensitive mat-
ters, before and during
caregiving.
"There is no superstition
or risk in talking about
things while you are
caregiving," he said. "It
helps to be open and
honest. When you have
conversations, it's a help for


the next step. It's not
morbid."
For me, the fact that Roy
and I discussed his hopes
and wishes for me after he
was gone has helped me in
the grieving process. His
openness and honesty
allowed me to know that I
was doing what was best
for me and what he wanted
for me, as well. The only
wish he didn't get was for
me not to grieve. He was a
little unrealistic there.
Mr. Barg hopes that
anyone with an interest in
caregiving will come to the
Dec. 2 conference.
"I love these confer-
ences," he said. "So many
people feel they are the
only one going through it.
It's the only way to get the
pieces to the puzzle,
because the greatest
experts are the ones living
through it.
"I love that caregivers can
learn that they're not alone
and learn about social
services and products.
Every family caregiver is an
expert in some aspect. I've
never seen one where
people didn't realize they

Choosing a home page for your browser


A anyone can set up
/-_ their Web browser to
.L ALstart at whatever
page they choose.
Whether you are using
Internet Explorer, Firefox or
Google Chrome the process
is very similar: navigate to
the page you would like to
see every time you launch
your Web browser, click the
"tools" pull down menu,
click options and then click
the "use current" button to
set the page you are looking
at as your home page.
Then, every time you
launch your Web browser, it
launches and displays your
favorite Web page as your
start (or home) page.
But how does one decide
what page to set up as their
start page?
One option is to use the
page that came loaded with
the machine when you
bought it, but that isn't very
original. Plus, that option is
frequently loaded with ads
and offers designed to sell
you more stuff to go along
with your new computer.
Another option is to use
the portal page provided by
your Internet provider. The
issue with that solution is
sometimes the portal pages
(take the newly merged
att.yahoo page for
instance) can get so
overwhelmed with the
sheer volume of viewers
that the page takes forever
to load. Plus (even though
the page is customizablee")


COMPUTE

SEAN MCCARTHY


V.


the ISP portal page doesn't
always give you what you
want, and frankly, it can be
hard to tell one portal page
from another.
Enter the "Blastoff"
network.
Every now and again a
new Web system comes
along and changes the way
we do things. We saw it with
AOL first (AOL is responsi-
ble for single handedly
introducing more people to
the Internet than every
other Internet marketing
method combined
(remember all those disks
that used to come in the
mail?)) and then, over time,
with sites such as MySpace,
Face Book and others. Hell,
even Google is so everyday
that it has actually become
a verb. That's a part of
speech! How many times
over the last year have we
heard of someone
"Googling" something?
Anyway, the newest thing
to hit the Internet is a
system called the "Blastoff
Network" and what a fine
start page the Blastoff page
makes!
So, what is it? Well,
simply put, Blastoff takes
advantage of all that extra


horsepower new machines
are coming with, along with
high-speed Internet
connections (such as cable
and DSL) and gathers
together into one cus-
tomizable start page
loaded with lots of cool
content (you can really see
the difference in a Blast Off
page as compared to your
typical portal page).
The page consists of a
handful of customizable
panels, each containing
things such as multiple
information sources, news,
sports, music and video
sites, games and even a way
to link up to Facebook.
Sign up is free and users
are encouraged to set it as
their start page and then
customize the content to
their liking (much the way
most portal pages are set
up). But Blastoff offers
some real incentives for
joining, other than access
to good content in an
original format.
They have a mall section
with more than 300 hun-
dred well known stores
(Best Buy, Target and
Macy's) and some serious
savings offers (even cash
back) when you shop
online through the Blast Off
mall, or if members of your
network shop in the mall.
I've been enjoying the
rather interesting collection
of games and I also like the
feed from Hulu. They give
you access to a ton of


classic TV shows, such as
"News Radio" or even "The
Office" and switching from
one applet to another is
pretty smooth.
The whole Blast Off site
is pretty resource inten-
sive, meaning that if you
have an older machine it
won't load and run as
smoothly as it would if it
were running on some-
thing brand new, but that
goes without saying
doesn't it?
The site encourages
everyone to sign up and
invite all of their friends
with the obvious intention
to grow virally.
I've been using the site
for the past couple of
weeks and I like it so I'm
going to go ahead and
invite everyone to take a
look. If you like what you
see, sign up! It's free and
has promise. Take a look at
http://llmy. blastoffnetwork. c
omlsmccarthy75 (my invite
page, no hyphens!). Watch
the videos and then click
the "join today" button if
you are so inclined. Let me
know of any significant
savings and I'll tell you
about my new cell phone I
ordered from Blastoff. It
should be here any day
now.

Riverside Theatre
presents "It's a
Wonderful Life: A
Live Radio Play"
By Barbara Yoresh
Entertainment writer
VERO BEACH Although
it wasn't a box-office money-
maker when it was released
in 1946, the Frank Capra-
directed film "It's a Wonder-
ful Life," starring Jimmy
Stewart, was subsequently
named by critics as one of
the best and most inspira-
tional films ever made.
In keeping with the film's
holiday timeframe, Riverside
Theatre is offering local
audiences a special holiday
treat with a live stage adap-
tation of the film by Con-
necticut-based playwright
Joe Landry, entitled "It's a
Wonderful Life: A Live Radio
Play."
Mr. Landry became enam-
ored of the film classic as a
young teen who first saw the
film when he worked in the
film department in his local
public library.
"What initially drew me to
the story, and continues to
do so, is the lesson: life is
precious and each and every
one of us has a greater
impact on the lives around
us than we ever realize," Mr.
Landry said.
The production will be
performed on the Stark
Mainstage from Nov. 19
through Dec. 6.

Singing/cooking chef comes to town


By Barbara Yoresh
Entertainment writer
VERO BEACH A fine,
authentically cooked Ital-
ian meal is a delicious treat.
But to have a celebrity,
singing chef prepare that
meal for you is pure heav-
en.
Singing Chef Andy
LoRusso is a best-selling
author, chef and singer
who will present "a Taste of
Italy" at Riverside Theatre
on Thursday, Nov. 12,
beginning at 11:30 a.m.
with a luncheon and cook-
ing demonstration at noon.
The special event is
designed as a gastronomi-
cal and entertainment
delight, as well as a


fundraiser for the theater,
located at 3250 Riverside
Park Drive inVero Beach.
A lavish menu will be
prepared and served and
there will be drawings for
such items as an 18-karat,
gold and diamond bracelet
courtesy of Le Classique
Jewelers and an Italian fan-
tasy vacation courtesy of
Destinations Travel. Draw-
ing tickets are $75 per ticket
or two for $125.
Event admission is $125
per person.
The author of "Sing and
Cook Italian," Chef LoRus-
so grew up in New Jersey in
a close-knit, Italian-Ameri-
can family and was
inspired by his grandmoth-
er (nona), Grace, who lov-


ingly cooked for the entire
family while operatic music
played in the background.
His love of food and good
music was fostered at a
young age and, by 22, Chef
LoRusso had signed a
recording contract with
Epic Records.
He subsequently moved
to California to study with
world-renowned vocal
coach, Giovanna d'Onofrio.
His love for cooking and
singing ultimately melded
into a career which
includes both at the same
time, a tasty take on having
ones' cake and singing it,
too.
And that is exactly what
Chef LoRusso does in pre-
sentations around the


world and in "Cooking
Cabaret," a cooking musi-
cal featuring the singing of
international recipes in
what becomes a veritable
United Nations of food and
song.
Chef LoRusso's Riverside
Theatre appearance will
include what he termed "a
very visual and auditory
experience and a wonder-
ful meal based on lots of
heart and soul" presented
with the warmth of la
famiglia.
"This brings people
together in the context of a
family. It's a time to come
and enjoy a little part of
Italy," Chef LoRusso said

Aries-March 21-April 19
You always come through
when the chips are down.
Your fiery spirit always seems
to pull you through life's
challenges unscathed. Being
the first fire sign in the Zodiac
helps you get started first
and then continue on to vic-
tory. You never quit until you
reach your goal. It's fun see-

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Your life continues to move
to higher levels. You are
always searching for new
challenges. Keep on letting
go of clutter and unneeded
things around you to make
room for the new. Do a fall
cleaning and yard sale. Give
unsold things to charity. This
sets the universal wheels in
motion to bring much new
very soon.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Affirm everyday that you are
continually fed, protected
and blessed by the unlimited
good in the universe. Give
thanks for the many wonder-
ful friends who grace your
life and bring so much love
and joy. See the good in oth-
ers and they see it in you.
Live each day as if there is no
tomorrow. This is the true
meaning of life.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
You have the most beautiful,
happy, positive attitude. It is
contagious to others. When
you are happy, others are
happy. Your happy heart

do first. You are so respected
and loved. Keep psyched up
and ready. More wonderful
adventures are on the way.

For about 15 years, Chef
LoRusso has appeared on
such television shows as
those hosted by Donny and
Marie Osmond and has pre-
sented cooking/singing
demonstrations nationwide.
His best-selling book "Sing
and Cook Italian" and his
unique singing/cooking per-
formances aren't just about
having fun in the kitchen.
"I wanted to do something
different. Health and well-
being were on my mind, and
I wanted to find tools to use
toward that end.
"Since every culture has
some music and food, I put
the two together. It encour-
ages people to cook in a
happy, healthy environ-
ment," Chef LoRusso said.
As a speaker, entertainer
and chef, he has gained a
wide following as a celebrity
cooking professional. His


cooking/singing presenta-
tions became a television hit
as cooking programs and
food-oriented cable chan-
nels were evolving.
"I had this new idea and
turned to my recipes. I start-
ed singing the recipe to ricot-
ta cake, for example, and it
really took off," he said.
Chef LoRusso's Riverside
Theatre appearance will
include working with local
caterers and presenting the
luncheon and cooking
demonstration in true sing-
a-long style.
"I love doing it and I love
meeting people everywhere I
go," he said.

From page B1
formances are Wednesdays
and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.;
Friday and Saturdays at 8
p.m. with matinees at 2 p.m.
on Wednesday, Saturdays
and Sundays.
Staged as a live radio
broadcast circa the 1940s,
the show follows the story of
George Bailey and the citi-
zens of Bedford Falls.
Set in 1946 on Christmas
Eve, George is depressed to
the point of suicide and
wishes he had never been
born. But when he attempts
suicide, his guardian angel,
a second-class angel named
Clarence who's trying to
earn his full-fledged wings,
intervenes.
This uniquely staged per-
formance is directed by
Riverside Theatre producing
artistic director Allen D.
Cornell who selected the
radio play and will also
design the sets and lighting.
"It's a unique way to recre-
ate this iconic movie and it
takes us back to a different
era, when things were seem-
ingly simpler," Mr. Cornell
said.
Karl Kern is sound design-
er and Randi dell'Acqua is
costume designer.


things will stop you from cre-
ating reality from idea. When
you are happy, steady
progress is being made. Keep
a strong focus on the top pri-
ority first. Less is more some-
times. Be prepared for a
quantum leap in joy over the
holidays.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
You have such deep feelings.
Your sweet loving heart is
known far and wide. It always
gives an emotional boost to
your loved ones. You make it
happen. You have much
courage and stand up for
your beliefs. You say, "This is
my life, thank you. I am mak-


The show features per-
formers who have previous-
ly graced the Riverside
stage. Warren Kelley
("Moonlight and Magno-
lias"), David Schmittou
("Doubt"), Ed Romanoff and
Marguerite Willbanks ("La
Cage aux Folles") are joined
by Samantha McKinnon
Brown.
The stage adaptation of
the film evolved from a
nearly full-blown casting
paralleling that of the movie
to its present form, in which
a core cast assumes several
roles a la 1940s radio style.
"I started networking with
some producers who (had)
found the piece a little too
epic for their stages or budg-
ets. It was at this point the
radio play concept was
introduced," Mr. Landry
said.
While the story line of "It's
a Wonderful Life" more than
adequately portrays the
many pitfalls of life, it is ulti-
mately a story of optimism
in the face of hardship, love
and triumph.
"My goal in sharing this
story is that audiences will
take away a feeling of hope.
If this stage adaptation can
send even a tenth of the
power of the film over the
footlights and through the
audience, I feel the play suc-


ing the most of it. You can
too'." Thanks for all you do
and give us.

Personal services
James can help you find your
way in these challenging
times. A personal reading, an
astrology chart, exciting
home or office party, or an
inspirational group talk are
just a few of the services he

ceeds," Mr. Landry said.
A rarely seen element in
today's theater is the re-cre-
ation of the "Golden Age" of
radio. American families of
that era were often found in
parlors seated around the
radio listening to (and envi-
sioning) wonderfully
depicted stories and adven-
tures.
"There's the hybrid ele-
ment of live radio and the-
ater of the mind. Radio plays
were in their heyday in the
1940s.
"What intrigues me about
the radio play concept is
that it brings a whole new
level of immediacy to live
theater by engaging the
audience's senses," Mr.
Landry said.
Mr. Cornell noted that this
story, much like "The Wizard
of Oz," has a theme "there's
no place like home and
where the smallest things
mean the most."


Although the movie was
set in post-war 1946, the
story and message are time-
less, Mr. Landry said.
"I feel that 'Wonderful
Life' has always related to
audiences because George
Bailey stands in for every-
man and it's easy to see
yourself in his shoes," Mr.
Landry said.
In the end is the reality
that, with hope and cooper-
ation, all will be well.
"I find myself thinking of
George's optimistic words
'Now we can get through
this all right but we've got to
stick together. We've got to
have faith in each other.'
"And he was right. Every-
thing did work out. And it
will," Mr. Landry said.

ed at 3250 Riverside Park

Thanksgiving pies wrapped in an amazing, vintage crust


Hello, smart shop-
pers! Check out my
holiday cookbook
special at the end of the
column. It's time to get
ready for Thanksgiving.
Since my surgery I found
the best cleaning lady.
Interested? Call the
number at the column's
end.
Pies almost as impor-
tant, as the turkey. You've
just got to make a home-
made pumpkin, pecan and
apple pie with my crust. If
you've never made a pie
before, now's the time.
Many recipes can be
altered to make them low-
fat, but pie crust is not as
good. A truly great piecrust
is high in fat, so make it
rarely and enjoy it
immensely.
The piecrust will handle
easier than any other
you've ever tried. For years
making piecrust frustrated
me as the crust tore and
separated, until a special
lady came into my life.
When we lived in Con-
necticut I met an 80-year-
old lady who had a farm.
She asked me to visit and


served coffee and an
incredible apple pie with
the most wonderful crust.
Her heritage dated back to
the Shakers, which is
where the recipe came
from. What amazed me
was the bottom crust was
nicely browned, which is
hard to achieve without
burning the pie. She had
already made me a copy of
the recipe because, as she
said, "I knew you would
want it." The recipe
contains vinegar, which
helps the crust to brown
properly, and the smell
and taste will disappear as
the pie bakes.
It is a large recipe and I
have not found a way to
break it down successfully,
but the dough freezes
beautifully and will keep in
the refrigerator for at least
three days.
REMEMBER: Always
preheat oven for 20
minutes; I recommend an
oven thermometer.
Enjoy, see you next week!

SHAKER PIE CRUST

pies and about two pie
shells.

4 cups white flour
1 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-3/4 cups shortening*
1/2-cup cold water
1 tablespoon apple cider
vinegar
1 large egg

*Note: My shortening of
choice is Crisco.
In a large bowl, mix dry
ingredients. Add shortening
and cut in with a pastry
blender, two knives or an
electric mixer set at low
speed until shortening is the
size of peas. In a separate
bowl, mix the egg, vinegar
and water. Add to the flour
mixture and mix with a fork
until the flour is moistened.
The mixture will be dry. Do
not add more water.
Using your hands, you can
press the dough together to


force any remaining flour to
cling to the dough. This
crust can be handled and
rolled again and again and
will not get tough.
Refrigerate for at least 15
minutes. Roll out just
enough dough to fit the pie
pan, rolling dough 1/8-inch
thick. Dust the board and
rolling pin frequently with
flour to prevent sticking.
For an open pie, trim the
dough 1/2-inch beyond the
rim of the pan. Fold dough
under until flush with the
edge and flute the edges
with your fingers or press all
around the rim with the
tines of a fork. Fill shell and
follow recipe directions.
You can lift the dough into
the pan easily if you fold it in
half.

PUMPKIN PIE

A one -pound can of
pumpkin will make a large
10-inch pie. Double the
recipe for three 9 inch-pies.
They freeze great. Bake first,
cool and freeze.
You can substitute
Splenda for the granulated
sugar with excellent results.


1 can (1 pound) pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2-cup granulated sugar
or Splenda
1/4-cup dark brown
sugar, firmly packed
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin
pie spices
1 teaspoon salt
1 large can evaporated
milk (undiluted)

Prepare crust and fit into
pan as instructed above.
Using a large bowl, beat
eggs slightly. Add remaining
ingredients and mix well.
Place prepared pan on a
cookie sheet, fill and bake at
425 for 15 minutes. Lower
heat to 375 and continue
baking for 30 minutes. Pie is
done when knife inserted in
center comes out clean.

PIECRUST COOKIES

Leftover piecrust should
never go to waste, and
piecrust cookies are deli-
cious. Save all trimmed pie
dough scraps and mash
them together with a fork,
adding a little water if
necessary to get them to
cling together.


Piecrust dough
Cinnamon
Sugar

Roll dough into a large 1/8-
inch thick rectangle. Sprinkle
generously with cinnamon
and sugar. Carefully roll,
jelly-roll style. Slice cookies
on the diagonal, 1/4-inch
thick.
Place on a cookie sheet
and bake in a 375 to 400-
degree oven until done,
about 10 to 12 minutes.
Cool and store in an
airtight container.

Get your heart right before making decisions


he conscious mind is
lineal by nature. It
moves sideways. It
thinks in a dualistic
manner such as good-evil,
right-wrong, black-white,
positive-negative, etc.
When we think with and
make decisions using only
the mind, it many times is
holding resentments or
grudges from real or
imaginary hurts from the
past. This clouds our
thinking and judgment
and prohibits us from
approaching resolution of
life's challenges with
clarity and permanence.
Whereas the mind thinks
with judgment, the heart
thinks with love, compas-
sion and forgiveness.


If you want to make fair,
just decisions for the
higher good of all con-
cerned, you must have
your heart involved in the
decision making so the
decision isn't lopsided.
There is no justice in
one-sided arbitrary
decisions. An open heart
allows light, wisdom and
inner truth to rise up from
the spirit and enter into
the decision making
process. A closed heart
only has the outer con-
sciousness to draw from in
coming to a conclusion.
The mind is like a ship
without a rudder. It goes
around and around in
circles and usually ends up
on the rocks. The heart is


the rudder that gives a
sense of direction and let's
the deeper human values
enter into the decision
making.
Here are a few of the
things the mind alone
creates when allowed to
run free without the
balancing of the heart
influence. The mind thinks
with hunger, anger, fear,
doubt, indecision, guilt,
sadness and revenge.
When love from the


heart is added to the mix,
the mind calms down and
feels this fountain of
positive feelings coming
up from the inner depths
and neutralizing many of
the negative thoughts the
mind alone creates.
As mentioned in last
week's column, the master
wisdom of the universe is
to move away from an
outer directed life. When
we begin to go inside,
open up our heart and
begin to trust our deeper
wisdom, the light within
us shines. It is the pathway
to universal understand-
ing. This journey opens us
to the greatest adventures,
pleasures and experiences
life has to offer. It makes


outer, physical, material
pleasures pale by compar-
ison.
The beautiful news is
that this high quality life is
available to every human
on earth. The number one
priority in life should be to
take this sublime inner
journey and discover our
own true great destiny and
claim our rightful heritage.
You can do it. It's inside
you right now yearning to
be set free. The process
starts when you get your
heart right before making
decisions.
Now that you are doing
this, life's richest blessings
will be yours today,
tomorrow and for all your
future days to come.

Fall in love on a cmruise to British Bermuda


M y very first cruise
was to Bermuda
was back in the late
70s. It was on the (now
defunct) Atlantica. What a
trip. I cruised with girl-
friends and we had a most
wonderful time. We sailed
from New York to Bermuda
and as I recall, it took about
one and half days to get
there and back the rest of
the time we were docked in
Hamilton.
There were a couple of
other ships, one which was
the Atlantica's sister ship
the Oceanic (both of which
later became the ships of
Premier Cruise Lines "Big
Red Boats") that were too
big to pull up to the pier in
Hamilton, so those who
were sailing on her had to
be tendered in. We used our
ship as a hotel and came
and went as we wished. Go
to the beach or shopping
during the day, head back
to the ship and dress for


dinner then out to the local
clubs. We had a blast.
Of course, I was young
(and single as we all were)
and was absolutely smitten
with the attention from the
all-Italian crew. I fell in love
with cruising and Bermuda.
That trip was last week of
May, which is the early part
of the season for Bermuda,
so it was not the warmest
weather, but it certainly was
warmer than where we
came from: New England. I
loved Bermuda so much
that I flew back there for a
six-day stay at a quaint little
inn the following October.
Bermuda is a British-
owned territory located in
the North Atlantic, about
640 miles southeast of Cape
Hatteras, N.C. It consists of
approximately 138 islands
and is 20.6 square miles in
size, with subtropical
temperatures ranging from
the low to mid 60s (January)
to the mid to high 80s
(August). Bermuda is a


dream destination almost
year round.
Bermuda is unique in
that it has the feel of the
Caribbean islands, but is a
fine British metropolis with
the main business being
finance, followed by
tourism. Visiting during the
workweek, you will see
businessmen in full busi-
ness attire with suits that
are suit jackets, with
matching Bermuda shorts
and knee-high socks and
dress shoes. Hard to
imagine, but is quite the
sight to see. The Bermudan
police are very visible in
their bright white uniforms
of course, including the
Bermuda shorts, white knee
socks, shoes and safari-style


hats. It is a very clean and
bustling island.
There are three ports on
the island. King's Wharf
(now called Heritage Wharf)
is the most western port
and is the biggest. It was
formerly the Royal Naval
Dockyard built during the
1800s and used during both
World Wars. It closed in
1956 and was in much
disrepair because of storm
damage over the years. Due
to the building of mega
ships, the government of
Bermuda has been redevel-
oping the port to accom-
modate the many cruise
passengers these ships
deliver to the island.
King's Wharf can be a
pretty hefty trek getting to
Hamilton and St. Georges
by bus. They do offer ferry
service that is quite a bit
shorter in time to reach.
Bermuda's capitol city of
Hamilton, located on the
north side, holds all of the
charm that Bermuda offers,


however this is where many
of Bermuda's financial
institutions do most of their
business. The harbor and its
entry way cannot accom-
modate the mega-ships that
visit, however the small- to
mid-sized ships can pull
right up along side the main
street of downtown Hamil-
ton where all of the shops
are located. You can get
around the island very
simply from here with
busses running all day long
to the gorgeous pink sand
beaches. Or you can rent a
moped and explore on your
own.
St. Georges, Bermuda has
the most historical value.
Founded in 1609 by the
British, it is aWorld Her-
itage Site in itself. Most of
the charming buildings
here were built in the 17th
and 19th centuries and the
authorities have done a fine
job of not allowing much
development. For instance,
the power and telephone


lines are hidden under-
ground and the streetlights
are in the style of an early
gas lamp.
Bermuda offers a lot for
its size. There are many big
ships that visit Bermuda
from Boston, New York and
Baltimore. Some ships use
Bermuda as a port of call on
their transatlantic or
repositioning cruises. MSC
will have an April voyage
from Fort Lauderdale.
Holland America's
Veendam will sail from New
York starting in April to
October, and spends
overnight in St. George's
and two nights in Hamilton
giving you plenty of time to
explore all the charm that
Bermuda has to offer.
Make Bermuda a must-
see destination. You won't
regret it.

Players to compete on West Palm course for spot on tour


The PGA Tour's final
stage of the 2009 PGA
Tour Q-School will be
held at Bear Lakes Country
Club in West Palm Beach,
Dec. 2-7.
The annual six-round
tournament will feature
approximately 160 players
vying for a PGA Tour card
for the 2010 season.
This annual event is one
of the most stressful golf
tournaments in the world as
players vie for a coveted
spot on the PGA Tour.
Joining Tiger, Phil, and the
rest of the gang is not an
easy task and many great
golfers have faltered under
the pressure.
If the pressure of grabbing
the golden ring was not
enough, throw into the mix
a tough Jack Nicklaus-
designed course. Bear Lakes
Country Club is a 36-hole
facility, featuring the par-72
Lakes Course (7,439 yards)
and Links Course (7,392
yards). The course has
hosted this event on two
previous occasions. Carl


Paulson captured medalist
honors in 1995, with Pat
Perez taking top billing in
2001.
The top 25 players and
ties at Bear Lakes will earn
their PGA Tour card for
2010, with the next 50
players earning fully-
exempt status on the
Nationwide Tour. Each
player who advances to the
Final Stage of Q-School will
earn at least conditional
status on the Nationwide
Tour.
A year ago, Harrison
Frazar cruised to an eight-
stroke win at the event and
led a group of 28 players
onto the PGA Tour. Jensen
Beach's Derek Fathauer
finished third to earn his
place on the Tour for the
first time.


The courses the players
face will look a little differ-
ent than those that players
tackled eight years ago. In
the last few years Nicklaus
has made several modifica-
tions and improvements to
both courses.
"These courses represent
two very different playing
experiences and styles of
golf, so they should test
every facet of the players'
games," states Nicklaus.
"The Lakes Course is a good
conventional test of golf and
a bit stronger. The Links
Course is more of a true
links course than it was
before. It is interesting golf,
the type of course that takes
a bit of learning and some
patience. I think the players
will have fun with it."
The PGA Tour is encour-
aging fans to turn out for
any of the three practice
days beginning on Sunday,
Nov. 29, or for the medal
rounds. Admission is free,
and galleries are usually
sparse, allowing fans to get
up-close to the action and


watch some great golf! Be
sure to bring your own
drinks and snacks as there
will be no concessions on
the course.
Volunteers are also
needed to help the opera-
tion run smoothly. For more
information on becoming a
volunteer, contact Deb
Shearer at (904) 273-3367 or
send an e-mail to debbies-
hearer@pgatourhq. corn.
Golf Channel will have
live coverage of the final
stage from 1-4 p.m. begin-
ning Dec. 5. Coverage will
continue on Sunday at the
same time, with coverage of
Monday's final round
beginning at 2:30 p.m.

Boys and
Girls Club event

Golfers, are you ready? It's
the time of year when you
can make a difference in the
life of a child simply by
playing your favorite sport.
The 8th Annual Boys and
Girls Clubs of Indian River


County Gold Tournament
will take place on Nov. 16 at
Vero Beach Country Club.
The event features two
tournaments. The morning
Pro-Am will be a best gross
and net ball per team,
which will consist of four
amateurs and one profes-
sional. The afternoon team
event will be two-best balls
of four, from a team of four
amateurs.
George E. Warren Corpo-
ration is the event's major
sponsor, with Publix and
Marquis Insurance picking
up the theme sponsorship.
Players will enjoy break-
fast, an All American BBQ
lunch and awards presenta-
tion between the events.
Following the afternoon
festivities players will enjoy
cocktails and hors d'oeu-
vres, awards presentation,
as well as a silent auction.
The funds raised from
this event will help support
important after-school Club
programs in the areas of
education, sports and
fitness, health and life skills,


the arts, character and
leadership development,
and community service.
There are still spots open
to join the tournament, as
well as tee sign sponsor-
ships. Should you be
unable to participate but
wish to help out the Boys
and Girls Club, donations
for the silent auction are
being accepted. A $500
donation covers golfers for
the morning Pro Am event
as well as the breakfast and

Thinking of colorful plants for the holidays? Here's a few


Wth the beginning
of the holiday
season just a
couple of weeks away, one
of the most sought after
novelty plant items is the
Amaryllis bulb. These
colorful plants are very easy
to grow and they bloom
with very little effort. They
can be grown inside or out
and they are a staple at
most retailers during the
holiday season.
These colorful plants
actually originated in South
America's tropical climate.
The botanical name for the
Amaryllis is Hippeastrum.
Because of the large
colorful flowers that the
plants produce, this bulb is
in large demand worldwide
during the winter months.
These gorgeous plants
come in a wide variety of
colors, which include red,


white, pink, salmon and
orange. You can also find
many varieties that have
variegated flowers with an
array of colors in a single
bloom. These bulbs will be
available at many retailers
in the coming weeks.
Amaryllis bulbs can be
purchased in bulk packages
as well as in kits where all
you have to do is unpack
the kit and water the soil. If
you choose to plant your
own, first place the roots
and the base of the bulb in
lukewarm water for a
couple of hours. If you get
your bulbs and you are not
ready to plant them right
away, store them in a cool
place at 40 to 50 degrees.
Your fridge is a great place
to store the bulbs until you
are ready to plant them.
Amaryllis bulbs like to be
planted in a good quality

potting mix such as Miracle
Gro. Plant the bulb up to
the neck area in the potting
mix. Be gentle with the
roots so you do not damage
them. Firmly pack the soil
around the bulb so it stays
securely in place.
Your new bulbs will do
really well in a warm place
with bright light. The warm
temperatures really make
the bulb grow rapidly and it
will bloom in no time.
Water your new plant quite
sparingly when it is first
sprouting and gradually
increase the amount of
water the plant receives as


it grows. The blooms can
last for several weeks and if
you plant the bulbs at 2 or
3-week intervals, you can
ensure lots of color for
many weeks to come.
Amaryllis bulbs can be
trained to re-flower by
simply cutting off the spent
flower. When you notice the
stem starting to wilt, cut it
back at the base of the bulb
and the flowering process
will start again.
When you walk in to
almost any lawn and garden
center, Impatiens will most
likely be the dominant
plant. You will find them in
all colors and sizes from a
small 4 inch pot all the way
up to 14 inch (or larger)
color bowls. Many stores
also carry six packs and 24
packs.
As a rule of thumb, if you
are going to plant a garden


with Impatiens, plant lots of
them. You will be well
rewarded with a garden to
be proud of. During the
holiday season, impatiens
can be found in red and
white color varieties. They
can add real holiday flair to
any garden or holiday
display.
Impatiens will do best if
planted in an area that does
not get full sun all day. If
you plan on putting in
Impatiens just for the
winter, this won't be quite
as critical as the plants will
endure more sun during the
winter then the spring and
summer.
You will want to use a
good quality potting soil
such as Miracle Gro and
plant them in an area that
has good drainage. If water
stands too long or the soil
stays mucky, Impatiens will


develop root rot. They do,
however, need to be kept
evenly moist.
If you let an Impatiens
plant dry out too much, the
plant will wilt. Even though
the plant will appear to
recover when you revive it
with water, there is still
damage that has been done.
Repeated bouts of drying
out will compromise the
plant quality dramatically
over time.
If you have a sprinkler
system, do not rely on it 100
percent for your flowers.
Always supplement your
watering regime with hand
watering.
