The Pineda Causeway extension opened. The planning stage began more than 20 years ago, and �inally the Pineda Causeway connects from A1A to I-95. Patrick Air Force Base, Patrick Shores and Satellite Beach, along with all of the communities adjacent to Pineda, now have direct access to I-95. This also promises to relieve Wickham Road of much of its traf�ic congestion. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was attended by many Brevard County luminaries who worked for this goal. “Yes, I acknowledge that this project has taken a long time to complete. When I became commissioner in 2006, this became my number one priority, and it is with great joy that I cut the ribbon today,” declared District 4 Brevard County Commissioner Mary Bolin. Regarding the complexity of the undertaking, she further stated, “With persistence and determination agencies can work together, for the betterment of the community, to complete projects such as this. This is a prime example of what private agencies and government entities can accomplish when working as a

Donna Duda, manager
of communications for the Viera Company, recalls, “Duda has been committed to seeing the Pineda Extension come to fruition for more than 20 years. In 1990, Duda acquired lands to preserve a corridor connection between Wickham Road and I-95. In 1996, Duda entered into a donation agreement with Brevard County for
the Pineda Extension. In 2001, the �irst part of our donation was made: rightof-way containing 30 acres. In 2007, Duda entered into a tri-party agreement with Brevard County and the Florida Department of Transportation to facilitate construction of the project. After reaching the tri-party agreement, Duda donated an Continued on pg 2

In 2007, the Creative AIn 2007, the Creative Arts Foundation of Brevard (CAFOB) was created to encourage, support and promote local artists and performers. Dr. Robert E. Lamb, conductor of the Brevard Community Chorus said, “The Creative Arts Foundation does a superb job of fostering excellence among the young musicians of Brevard County. I count it a privilege to be associated with them and their noble work.” CAFOB advocates for young, poor artists by raising funds and providing venues for their performances and exhibits. The nonpro�it organization provides grants through Brevard’s Got Talent and other outlets. The 2011 winner of Brevard’s Got Talent, Sonya Belaya, competed against 10 highly talented teenage performers in the second annual show. Three of Brevard’s eminent music teachers, including Dr. Lamb judged the competition, which took place after nearly 50 auditions were held the month prior to the show. Belaya played Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in B Flat Major to take �irst place and $1,000. The young concert pianist has been studying music since before she entered school and has been involved in the newest CAFOB venture, a spinoff called Music on the Hill. Belaya had been scheduled to emcee a unique concert at Friendship Fellowship Universal Unitarian Church on U.S. 1 in Rockledge, but has been accepted to a prestigious three-week summer music workshop. Another young musician will step up to �ill that role on Sunday,

COMMUNITY
Spyglass playground has it made in the shade – again BY GEORGE WHITE
After a brief time uncovered, two Suntree community parks have it made in the shade again. Large shade covers over playgrounds at Jack Mahon Park on Spyglass and Interlachen Park were replaced on May 10 after being refurbished by Creative Shade Solutions of Tampa. The 40-foot by 40-foot green sunshades “were originally installed in 2009 for a total cost of $52,000 which included large metal structures to hold them in place,” said Kay McKinney, community relations manager for the Suntree Master Homeowners Association. “They weren’t off very long, maybe a couple of weeks. With the shades, we always have a lot of kids on the playgrounds. If it wasn’t for the shades, they couldn’t use them as much,” she said. The cost of the shade installations, and repairs, were paid by the owners of
4
the 4,500 homes in Suntree, now with an estimated population of about 12,000 residents. “There was a dramatic increase in usage because of the sunshades, and, conversely, a decrease in the number of kids playing during the tent repairs,” said Suntree resident C.K. Henley. Henley regularly brings his 5-yearold granddaughter, Megan Henley, to play at Jack Mahon Park. The pair was on hand to watch workers put them back in place with areas repaired where they had been damaged due to wind and weather.

by steel cable threaded along the edges. “Now that we have the sunshades, the utilization has sky rocketed and we have people coming from all over. In July and August, having them back on will be a godsend. It’s unbearable without it because the playground equipment just gets too hot,” he said. The playground was empty during the reinstallation of the tents, but Henley said he knows that situation will not last long once the word gets out. “The news that the sunshades are back on will get out pretty quickly in the neighborhoods. I know there’s a whole cadre of mothers out there who will be very happy,” he said. VV

Man on a mission to send God back to school By Linda Wiggins
When Alexis Steel’s daughters Sierra and Haven graduated from a religious preschool to a public school, she lamented that they would lack the solid moral framework for their education she felt the Bible provided. That was until she discovered an after-school program called Christ on Campus held once a month at Suntree Elementary School. “I love the program because the kids enjoy fun activities and get to learn about God at school. I didn’t even think that was possible, but it is a voluntary after-school activity that has as much right to use the facilities and serve children as any other group, thank goodness,” Steel said. Christ on Campus is provided at Suntree, Quest and Ralph M. Williams elementary schools by Rev. Dr. Mark Moreno, pastor at Hope Lutheran Church in Suntree, with another church serving Manatee.
“This gives students the courage to talk about God at school when they see other classmates who they know from “Christ on Campus,” Moreno said. The students are issued a dark green T-shirt with “Christ on Campus” on the front and “We Believe” inside a large cross on the back. They wear it at school the day of the
meeting. The program is offered at no charge. The group reserves the facilities as would any other after-school activities group, such as Girl Scouts, or before- and aftercare contracted services and activities. Moreno’s church and a small grant provides funding for the program as a community outreach

service. Children’s families make donations. Moreno is a missionary, but rather than serving in a developing country, the local schools are his missionary fields. He lives in Viera with his wife, Raquelle, and children, Ethan, Elise and Elijah. His church offers occasional community activities such as game night where parents can drop off their children for playtime. The organization has children’s events and activities planned over the summer. “Pastor Mark has an incredible rapport with the kids,” said Rachel Villafane, whose children Elijah, and Noah, attend Christ on Campus at Suntree. “He explains Bible verses in words they can understand and 1. please take outrelate “or Insurto, and gets them asking ance Fees” underquestions.” the $29.

Four years later, her love of music combined with her skill as an educator to create an enriching environment of music classes for the children of the local community. Fox, who holds a Ph.D. in Gifted Education from Columbia Pacific University, had a strong musical upbringing. By 4, she was playing piano and continued to sing and dance throughout college. After teaching 34-years in Wisconsin, while singing at events over the weekends with the Sweet Adeline Chorus, Fox moved to Suntree in 1996. With the help of her son-in law

in 2000, she established a place to hold musical lessons she’d been teaching privately. The teachers at the Creative Learning, Art & Music Center started as consultants, eventually working together as a team to bring consistency to the teaching style. “These are enrichment classes, they build up skills from a foundation,” says Fox. “They are based on creation and invention.” The Creative Learning, Art & Music Center classes don’t just teach an instrument and move onto the next. It is clear that Fox’s program focuses on ingenuity. For the summer, the center will host weekly camps, each focused on a different country. Students will study the music of countries such as India, Italy, and Egypt, and be immersed in the culture including foods, dances, clothes and much more.

10th Annual Men’s Health Summit Several local healthcare providers are teaming up to provide FREE prostate cancer screening tests at the 10th Annual Men’s Health Summit on Saturday, June 11, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Health Sciences Building, Building 20, on the Brevard Community College (BCC) campus at 1519 Clearlake Road in Cocoa. The event is co-sponsored by Health First, the Brevard Chapter of the NAACP, Parrish Medical Center, Wuesthoff Health System, and Brevard Community College. The free PSA blood tests and digital rectal exams will be provided along with presentations on prostate cancer risk factors, recommended testing, and treatment methods related to nutrition and exercise. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Additionally, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer —though statistics cite a low number of deaths when the disease is detected early. Those at higher risk are recommended to get annual prostate cancer exams, and include: · Men over age 50 who have never had a PSA blood test and digital rectal exam · Men age 40 or older who have had a close relative (father, brother, or son) diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65 · African-American men
Screenings are performed on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, contact the Health First Community Engagement Center at 321-434-4335. VV

Summer kicks off, Vacation Bible School kicks in By Katie Miller
Summer is the time for children to take a break from six and seven-hour school days and to hang out with friends, especially in summer camps. Every summer, the community offers Vacation Bible Schools and summer programs affiliated with different churches and temples. These camps include interactive themes, such as the popular “PandaMania: Where God is Wild about You” and Faith “Viera” Lutheran’s “Nazareth: Where Jesus Was a Kid,” where children can learn about Jesus’ hometown through a re-creation of Nazareth in Biblical times. In an expanding community, the Vacation Bible Schools in the area are able to provide family networking and sanctuary for children, said Keith Profit of Calvary Chapel in Viera. He described the benefits of VBS as “an outreach not only to children, but to families and getting them networked into the church community as well as Viera’s community.” VBS also provides a small opportunity for a break in the normal routines of summer and daycare programs, allowing parents to send their children to a beneficial program of interactive learning. “A lot of the ministry is for the parents, helping them with balancing children and work but also with spreading the word of God,” Profit added. Lasting a week, a few days, or all summer, VBS and other faith-based camps provide a safe and fun, interactive environment for children. Listed below are some of the VBS and summer camps offered by the parishes and temples in the area.

Viera High Football program is celebrating by Carl Kotala
The Viera High football program is celebrating after five seniors received the chance to continue their careers at the next level. Quarterback Tyler Corns has signed with the University of Mount Union, linebacker Ryan Colby signed with Averett University, defensive back Joel Reese signed with Elmhurst College and defensive lineman Chris Cromartie signed with Webber International. Defensive back Shaun Applewhite, meanwhile, is going to Western Kentucky as a preferred walk-on. It is the biggest signing class in Viera’s football history. “For me, it just shows the growth and the potential that’s here,” Hawks coach Paul Frazier said. “We had 19 seniors (this past) year and we’ve got 19 out of 19 going to college, with five of them getting an opportunity to play football at the next level.” “It just sets that bar for the rest of the guys coming up. Now they’ve got something to strive for.” Viera’s football players join a growing list of Hawks who have signed to play college sports, including golfers Trey

Bruce and Valerie Cadle married on Oct. 12, 1975, as the sun rose over Indialantic beach. After 35 years of marriage, the two still date every week. “Too often couples drift apart because they aren’t making time for each other,” Bruce said. “By continuing to date, we keep our relationship our top priority.” The Cadles started dating 28 years ago, when Bruce asked Valerie if they could have a scheduled night together every week. With a tight budget and a child at home, the conventional dinner on the town was not an option. Instead, the couple came up with a way to spend an affordable evening together without sacri�icing any romance. On Friday nights, after their daughter was tucked in, Bruce would cook Valerie a fancy (but easy) dinner. Date night became a priority that the couple looked forward to all week long. “It has evolved. Now Bruce likes cooking,” Valerie joked. So much, in fact, that Bruce began posting on Facebook what he was cooking for each date night. After receiving great feedback, he was inspired to audition for The Next Food Network Star Youtube Challenge in July of 2010. His video demonstration of how to make a smoked salmon martini landed him a spot as a �inalist in the competition.

And though he didn’t win, he didn’t come out empty handed, either. Bruce gained 4,000 friends on Facebook and wrote a book, Party for Two, packed with fun, fancy and easy recipes so that any couple can share in the celebration of date night. Marc Murphy, a judge on Food Network’s Chopped, raves about the book in a review, saying “it’s �illed with helpful hints about dating, marriage
and life in general.” “We want to help other people learn to do what we’re doing,” Bruce said. “We want to help people have better marriages.” After watching their mom and dad celebrate date night throughout their childhoods, Bruce and Valerie’s children now have date night with their loved ones. “They understand the importance of spending time

Colfax Landing is reminiscent of the “ideal American neighborhood”. With lovely tile-roof homes lining the streets, families walking their dogs, kids riding their bikes and teenagers heading over to the near-by tennis courts, the energy and friendliness of this family community is palpable. The homes are set on 85-foot wide lots so there’s ample room for multiple bedrooms and baths with good-sized bonus and lesiure rooms to meet any household’s needs, while preserving the “old-fashioned” feel of a close-knit neighborhood. An abundance of lakefront lots and curving streetscapes, make this gated community appealing in every way. Lots average 1/4 acre. Home and lot from the $300’s.

Kindergarten students at Suntree Elementary School performed at their first annual Arts and Health Day on May 6, 2011, with first through fourth grades performing at different times. BY LINDA WIGGINS
There is nothing quite as magical to make children bloom as sitting busy parents down to watch them perform, hear them sing and view their artwork, according to Suntree Elemtary School teacher Kay MacDonald. “Parents are their heroes. It is so great to see how proud they are to have a parent in the audience,” said MacDonald, one of three
activities teachers to host the �irst-annual Arts and Health Day at Suntree Elementary for all students in kindergarten through the fourth grade. Coach MacDonald, the school’s physical education instructor, organized an expo of information for parents on nutrition, exercise and other factors important to growing healthy children. Elements of the event – music, movement and art – address the educational needs of the whole child and introduce tougher
elements of writing and arithmetic to come later. Art teacher Heather Moore hosted an art exhibit in the art room, with students leading parents around to �ind their works and pose for photographs. Music teacher Laura Morrison taught songs and gestures to students who performed in groups of all classes in each grade, �illing the entire outside stage. Parents sat in rows of folding chairs in the commons area,
smart phones and video cameras at the ready. Students were dressed in their best clothes. Second through fourth grades performed throughout the morning and afternoon on April 29, and kindergarten and �irst grades performed on May 6. “I guess if I had to sum it up I would say that as a parent, it often feels like our kids can easily dismiss what we have to say because we are always trying to get them to

SOMEONE Jill Engle
If you drive by the busy Suntree intersection of St. Andrews Boulevard, where South Pinehurst Avenue turns into Jordan Blass Drive, you’ve seen the cheerful, waving redhead that gets our children safely to and from school. Jill Engle, who has been at it for more than eight years, also trains and certifies all the crossing guards in Viera, Suntree, Satellite Beach, West Melbourne and Melbourne. She’s always on the lookout for new recruits who are personable and love children, but keep the focus on safety first. Where are you from? I am originally from the state of New Jersey. I have lived in Florida for 38 years; 28 in Brevard, 11 of them in Suntree.
What is your family life like? I am a proud parent to my one and only daughter and a grandmom to three dogs. They fulfill my urge for having a pet of my own. What keeps you going? I love to sing, dance and enjoy a
good laugh. I’m an old lady but I never grew up. Humor keeps me young.
What can be found in your refrigerator? Definitely plenty of water, but after many years of food preparation in the kitchen, there is a minimum of food. My favorite indulgence is pretzel and chocolate. What career would you choose if money were no object? If I could choose a career that did not involve making money I would choose the theater. What an incredible, magical inspiration to art. What talent would you most like to have? I need help sewing. What a major disaster I am to buttons and hemlines.
What one word would friends use to describe you? They would probably say I am caring. Caring is a very important ingredient in my life. VV

Ariel Killick and Amanda Von Lunen marvel at a butterfly they saw hatch from an egg to become a caterpillar, and later emerge from a chrysalis, at the new butterfly enclosure at Suntree Elementary School on Friday, May 13, 2011. Giombetti, Suntree principal who said that the project is designed to bring all �ive senses together to aid in learning. Students have had the opportunity to observe nature as never before due to a child’s-eye level bird’s nest. “The nest was relocated when a future improvement area was cleared.The momma bird came back to the nest and one of two eggs hatched. She brought them hatchling lizards, which she initially chewed �irst, and later fed them whole. Soon she taught the baby bird to �ly and they were on their way. The chil-
dren chronicled the entire experience,” she said. “For most of these children, nature has never been this personal.” Giombetti said that as part of the 21st Century School Improvement Program, each grade level did a learning project that used meaningful, real-world connections to learning. “It also integrates the curriculum standards that we have to teach,” she added. “Not to mention, it makes an already beautiful campus an incredibly gorgeous and exciting place to be.” VV

Nails in the City and Audible open
New barber shop comes to town By LINDA WIGGINS
VIERA VOICE George White
Getting pedicures at Nails in the City are, from left, Nancy Antequera and Jenny Bolivar. Giving the pedicures are, from left, Tara Martinez and Nanette Lima. By George White
Nails in the City has found a home in the Park Place Professional Center, 7630 N. Wickham Rd. Opening April 30 under the direction of coowners Yeannie Andrade of Melbourne and Beni Scheuerman of New York, the 1,500 square foot facility offers a spa-like atmosphere for manicures and pedicures. “It’s a different concept because we can hold girls’ nights out, princess parties and we’re pet friendly. We also have free Wi-fi and can arrange catering for parties,’’ Andrade said. “Patrons are offered complimentary wine and can watch large screen televisions for both cable and movies,” she said. The staff is experienced and friendly and the bar-like
surroundings are nice, but it’s the cleanliness practiced by four licensed nail technicians that Andrade likes to stress. “I’m very picky with the sterilization. Every time we use the tools, we immediately put them in hospital grade liquid. Whatever can be sterilized, we sterilize,’’ she said. The business is also odorless and “green” in that it uses eco-friendly products, according to Andrade. For more information about Nails in the City, call 321-610-7049 or visit nailsinthecity.com. Audibel hearing aids under Hearing Specialist Ryan Broy is one of the newest businesses to open in the Park Place Professional Center on Wickham Road. For more information, call 321-254-5500. VV
Andrew Steinert has the opportunity of a lifetime and he knows it. At age 25, he is the head barber of the new Rockledge barbershop, the Clip Joint. “I picked him because he is a good talker and listener, not to mention he does a great job. Guys will start to come to him and keep coming forever,” said Paul Bologna, Clip Joint owner and also the owner of the Tradewinds Plaza in which it is located, at the northwest corner of Barnes Blvd. and Murrell Road, behind 60 Minute Cleaners & Laundry. The old-fashioned shop provides a hot towel steam and strait-edge shave, faded cuts, razor cuts, blowouts and all other barber services for men and boys. “If he plays his cards right, he can own this business and have a bright future in a great business,” Bologna said. For more information, call 321-338-2954. VV

According to the website, “Numerous Heads of State and Chiefs of Government around the world participated in the International Visitors Leadership Program earlier in their careers. Personal friendships are made, business relationships are formed, and children learn about the world in a whole new way when they meet visitors from the other side of the globe.” The Space Coast Council of International Visitors is seeking new members interested in interacting with the foreign guests.

Look for the snook bite to be hot in June, but remember snook season is still closed. The best place to target the giant red�ish and sea trout are in the shallow �lats using live mullet or shrimp. The snook will still continue to bite at night into the summer months. Offshore In the Atlantic Ocean along the Brevard coast, look for the king�ish bite to increase. Best bait for kings is a slow trolled live bait mullet or pogie. Watch the bait pods for diving birds, which indicate the tar-

Use live minnows or, my favorite, purple or pumpkin seed colored plastic worms to catch them. Surf In June, anglers should see good catches of whiting, pompano and margate along Brevard County beaches. The top baits to use in the surf are sand �leas, shrimp and cut clams. Another alternative would be to cast small buck tail jigs tipped with shrimp to
catch these �ish. Florida Regulations For Florida State �ishing license information visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website, myfwc.com or call 850-488-3641.

Sgt. Pepper gives ride to remember Viera Voice Linda Wiggins
Rachel, who has Down syndrome, gets ready to thank therapy horse Sgt. Pepper with a kiss after her riding session on May 12, 2011, aided by volunteer therapy assistant Elaine Smith.
By Linda Wiggins
A June 4 fundraiser for Harmony Farms will set the pace for groundbreaking on a new 110-acre site founder Pam Rogan hopes will come this fall. The move will allow the nonprofit agency that uses horses as therapy for children and adults with disabilities to expand services to include injured veterans returning from deployment. “With the sacrifices our veterans make to keep us free, we – meaning this country, our people – should be doing a heck of a lot more for them,” said Rogan, who launched the equine-assisted therapy agency in 1992. “We have spent a lot of energy over the years proving that this therapy is tremendously beneficial for people with disabilities. This will be Harmony Farms’ way of doing our part to give back to our veterans.” The ranch is currently located at 5300 Stadium
Parkway, where the weathered red barn was raised in 1999 on land leased from A. Duda & Sons. New housing will take its place. The new land is located off the west end of Wickham Road in west Viera, half a mile up a road that does not yet exist, just east of the water treatment plant. The road will be leased from the Duda family and the land will be leased from Brevard County. The leases will be for an initial 10-year term, renewable for 5 years at a time, but Rogan hopes and plans for the usage to be permanent. The original barn will be dismantled and reassembled on the new site. There will be a larger barn, 20 stalls, tack and feed room, utility room and a covered arena. For the first time, parts of the facility will be air conditioned for staff and community use. The total cost for these improvements is $450,000, not including
donated services and what Rogan projects will be a massive volunteer barn- and fence-raising project. Major construction is planned for spring 2012. Harmony Farms is a member center of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association. Five therapists on staff are NARHA certified to treat children and adults with physical, mental and emotional disabilities. Therapists are currently undergoing training and certification for Horses for Heroes, which primarily deals with active and retired military personnel suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. It will be Brevard’s first Horses for Heroes facility. For more information on Harmony Farms or the June 4 Buckaroo Ball at Brevard Zoo’s Nyami Nyami River Lodge, call 321-631-9433 or email info@harmonyfarmsinc.com.

Viera/Suntree Little League swings into tournament play By Carl Kotala
It’s an exciting time for the Viera/Suntree Little League. The “Kids Pitch” Tournament, which gives the younger players their first taste of competitive ball (where scores are kept, unlike during the regular season) just concluded last month. The final four teams were the Knights, the Bulldogs, the Fighting Irish and the Hurricanes. This month, the Majors (age 11-12), Juniors (age 13-14) and Seniors Divisions (age 15-16) will take part in the county tournament. Games
will be played at three different locations, including Viera Regional Park, from May 31 through June 14. Viera/Suntree will certainly be well represented in the tournament with seven major teams, four juniors teams and one senior team in baseball, plus two major softball teams competing. Last year’s Majors County Baseball Tournament featured two Viera/Suntree teams in the finals. Many of those athletes formed the All-Star team that went on to win the state championship and reach the Southeast
Region championship game. The bulk of that team will move up to the Juniors Division to play with some talented 14-year olds and give Viera/Suntree another All-Star powerhouse. The All-Star teams will be announced June 15. Another VSLL team to look out for will be the 9-10 year-olds. They reached the state championship game last season. “It’s been fantastic,” VSLL president Eric Power said. “In an age of shrinking Little Leagues, less participation, financial crisis and all the

VHS rising senior Travis Zenchak created this abstract watercolor work in the Whimsical Watercolors project funded by a grant from The Avenue Viera. Special to Viera Voice
Viera High School rising senior Travis Zenchak never felt like an artist before. After all, his attempts at drawing realistic objects resulted in pictures that looked little like their subjects. A recent project changed that for him and 19 other art students. “This was a really successful project,” said VHS art teacher Susan West, Ph.D. of the artistin-residence project funded by a $600 The Avenue Viera grant through the Brevard Schools Foundation. “Through this project students became confident and I would say some of them would consider themselves artists now.” Travis’ work went on to be displayed at the Melbourne Art Festival and in the VHS au-
ditorium where many groups viewed it at various functions. Through the Whimsical Watercolors project, students learned to create abstract painting with watercolor at the feet of local artist Helen Wheatley. “Many students are going on to pursue artistic endeavors, which is the goal of these types of special projects that we are able to do when we get donated resources,” West said. Students are now studying surrealism and working with oil pastels in the style of local artist Michael Nemnich, whose artwork was selected for the poster for the Melbourne Art Festival this year. Students have studied the work of Salvador Dali and Paul Klee as a part of this unit. For more information, contact West at 321-632-1770. VV

March of Dimes walks raise $200,000 for healthy babies Special to viera voice
The March of Dimes Space Coast Division located in Suntree raised over $200,000 in two recent walks, including a Saturday, May 14 round-trip walk from The Avenue Viera and the Marketplace malls to the Space Coast Stadium, hosted by the Brevard County Manatees. “This is a very generous community that is always eager to help those less fortunate,” said March of Dimes Division Director Keith Gee. Gee and Community Director Sallyanne Cos attended the May 12 monthly networking breakfast meeting of Viera Means Business. Many business owners took
part in, sponsored or attended the walk. “We would like to send a special thank you to the Viera Means Business community for inviting us to be a part of a very special group of people,” Cos said. The other fundraising walk took place April 30 at Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral. Funds go to education, research and advocacy for healthy babies. Upcoming events include Signature Chef at the Holiday Inn Viera on Sept. 28 and Bikers for Babies on Nov. 13 at the Police Hall of Fame in Titusville, which spotlights November as Prematurity Awareness Month.
