Seussical the musical comes to Viera VIERA VOICE George White
Umpire in Chief Dave Head
For the love of the game
See the daVinci surgical robot in action
By GEORGE WHITE
The Viera/Suntree Little League umpires, including junior umpires under age 18, volunteer their time to make sure the games are fair, the crowd and coaches are well behaved and the players come first. Called the Strike Force, the organization recently held a clinic for more than 50 umpires on the fields at Viera Regional Park. “For most of them it’s their first time out here. It gets complicated and it matters if you’re positioned correctly,’’ said umpire-incharge Dave Head, during drills on two of the fields. For example, there are specific umpire sight angles for every situation in a game, requiring teamwork between umpires to share Continued on page 14

Viera High School presents Seussical™ on March 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. Seussical™ is a lively musical based on the works of Dr. Seuss, the author of beloved books for children, but don’t make the mistake of thinking this production is just for children. Seussical™ appeals to all ages, because as Dr. Seuss wrote in Horton Hears a Presort Std U.S. Postage PAID Orlando, FL Permit No. 1979
Who, “A person’s a person no matter how small.” Viera’s Jazz Band accompanies the cast on a family-friendly journey through familiar scenes from The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, If I Ran the Circus and other familiar stories. The performance entertains and enlightens audiences while it celebrates the life of Dr. Seuss. His books por-
tray the pure power of imagination and teaches lessons about the value and dignity of everyone, helping others and keeping promises. Viera High senior Cat Koski is the president of the Thespian Club and has been stage manager since her freshman year. According to drama teacher and club sponsor, Eloise Evans, Koski is “the heart

It may not think on it’s own, but it’s hard for any human to be better at surgery than the daVinci robot at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne. Patients with gynecologic, urologic, and prostate related conditions once faced open surgery, requiring a large incision, possible blood loss and long recovery times. Laparoscopic surgery, performed through small incisions in the abdomen is less intrusive. Surgeons use rigid instruments with a mini-camera to examine and operate on the organs of the pelvis and abdomen. This method limits a surgeon’s vision and dexterity, sacrificing some surgical precision. Continued on page 20

Engelbert Humperdinck comes to the King Center By MARY BROTHERTON
Thanks to the latest Beavis and Butthead movie and its platinum-selling theme song Lesbian Seagull, the MTV generation has discovered the melodic voice of Engelbert Humperdinck – a name older audiences know well. Humperdinck will perform for a multi-generational audience at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne on Thursday, March 24 at 8 p.m. Born in Leicester, England as Arnold George Dorsey, “The Humper” has nine siblings. At the age of 11, he began to study saxophone. In a local pub at 17, he performed an astounding
impersonation of Jerry Lewis and his stage name changed instantly to Gerry Dorsey. The birth of his singing career ended his saxophone playing. A bout of tuberculosis threatened to silence the man born to a woman with an operatic voice, but with his manager, he decided to take drastic action. Thus, Engelbert Humperdinck came into being. Secure in his own selfimage, with a strong sense of humor, he has not looked back or questioned the wisdom behind the unusual name. His famous sideburns and flashy leather outfits and bare chest as a backdrop to oversized necklaces were his signature in England before Elvis Pressley and Tom Jones

Among his career accomplishments are a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 63 gold records and 24 platinum records. Remaining popular with the audience that made him famous, he has become successful with a younger group, primarily

Indian River Colony Club residents parade to the flag for the anniversary celebration. By George White
Indian River Colony Club was one of the few developments in Viera when it was created 25 years ago and nearly 1,300 residents in 771 homes celebrated that bit of history with a full slate of activities Feb. 19 and 20. A not-for-profit, Florida chartered corporation, the 160-acre IRCC was founded in 1986 to provide members with affordable housing and recreational facilities to support an active retirement lifestyle. It was originally meant for retired officers, but now has retired enlisted and civilian residents. “The interesting story is that there really wasn’t anything here 25 years ago,” said silver anniversary event chairman Skip Taylor. “They
had to drive in on a dirt road from Wickham. They actually started building in 1989 and now we think we have something special out there.’’ He said the IRCC Foundation, which helps take care of ailing and elderly employees and residents, sponsors the anniversary celebration. “We’re using the 25th anniversary to raise money for the foundation. We should be able to raise about $6,000. We‘ve been working on this since June. It‘s a military community so it‘s a military plan that we implemented,’’ Taylor said. An 8 a.m. gate ceremony kicked things office, including the reading of a proclamation on the milestone by Brevard County Commissioner Mary Bolin.
We Love Doing Windows & Our Services Include:
• Full Service Commercial Cleaning • Residential Maid Service • Carpet Cleaning • Hard Surface Floor Care • Window Washing • Post Construction Cleaning • Move In / Move Out • Pressure Washing / Painting • Realtor Services
Golf, tennis and Bocce tournaments, live music and an arts and crafts show were highlights of the weekendlong event. A silent auction of a quilt with all the IRCC street names on it was a huge hit. “The community celebrates its anniversary every five years, but the 25-year threshold has caused more planning for a bigger event,” Taylor said. Sunday’s activities began with a 10 a.m. memorial service with a formal banquet at 6 p.m., both at Colony Hall. An essay contest had residents answering the question “Why living in IRCC is like living in paradise.” “They’re really proud of their community,’’ Taylor said.

Viera Soccer Club coach Mark Paulson finishes a pep talk with a rousing cheer that encourages his players. of the club. “We have a package ready for you when you come. It’s very convenient.” The club is U.S. Soccer Cup affiliated, which brings costs down, according to Schenatzky. The club offers several different programs including one designed for children who have never played soccer before and one for children with disabilities. Fun Soccer is for children older than 14 where there is no coaching. Also, Viera Soccer Club has a travel league. Players receive a jersey and the club pays the insurance for the players. “It always was my dream to create a family club, so people can feel it’s their club
and they are connected,” said Schenatzky. One of the ways he does this is by having players and their families participate in community service projects. “We went to the Watersong facility to entertain the elderly people,” said Schenatzky. “We brought some pop-up goals and had the little kids play some games. The residents really liked it.” The club also supports the Suntree Rotary Park by doing a park cleaning every spring. The club has an office in Suntree located at 1300 Bedford Drive, Viera.

YOUR Question of the month
Pete Scianna:
What do you think about the bill before the Florida Senate that would make the left lane on major interstates and highways a passing lane only?
It should be the law. I know it seems to be the practice already, but we have to move over to the left side if police or emergency vehicles are stopped on the right side.

Lisa Jewell:
Mary Parker:
Thought it already was the law, so I would be in favor of it, but hopefully not to encourage speeding while passing.
I thought it was truly already a passing only lane. And also, should not be for big trucks. Seems to be common sense safety.
Mike Katsarakes:
I don’t think a new law is necessary. We already have enough laws and the left lane seems to be for passing only anyways.
Bert Prytherch:
I always thought it was a passing lane--to keep traffic flowing-so I would be in favor of it.
Absolutely in favor of it I had lived in Germany where it is the law--for safety’s sake.

Umpires Continued from page 1 responsibility for a tight call, he said. “They may know the right call, but are not sure about it, so they’ll check with the other umpire. You’ve always got to be watching your position. It’s like chess. You have to think two or three moves ahead,’’ he said. The inclusion of junior umpires is welcome and they are backed up 100 percent by an adult coordinator. He said coaches and spectators are not allowed to yell at the umpires. “The kids actually pick it up faster than the adults. They love it. We’re out here to make good citizens and to develop good behavior and good citizenship. Everybody should set a good example,’’ he said.

Umpire in Chief Dave Head instructs a junior umpire for the Viera/Suntree Little League Strike Force Feb. 11-13, 2011 at the Viera Regional Park. The Strike Force holds multiple clinics every year, according to instructor Dave Carroll. “We try to hold one before
each season, sometimes as a refresher course for those that have done it before. The most important thing is the fairness of the game,” Carroll said. Being an umpire is a special privilege volunteers take seriously. “We have a love for the sport and a love of the kids. We don’t let egos get in the way and I think the kids learn the game better. Once they get into it they’re hooked. We’ve trained a lot of people so most games have three or four umpires. It’s always important to make the right call,’’ Head said.

Viera softball expects another long postseason run BY CARL KOTALA
The Viera High softball team had quite a run last season, and from all appearances, the Hawks aren’t about to slow down in 2011. Not only does Viera have nine players back from a team that went 25-6 last year, winning the district title and advancing to the Class 5A regional finals, but they also have two big-time hitters who missed last season with knee injuries, back in the lineup. Sounds like a recipe for success, all right.

VIERA VOICE Carol Kotala
Viera High’s (back L-R) Kinsey Simmons, Alex Breeden and Kaci Vassallo give Kelly Kush (center) a lift on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011 in Viera Regional Park. The Hawks reached the regional finals last season and have their sights set even higher in 2011.
Hawks coach Dale Pierce, who has done a wonderful job of building Viera into a Brevard County softball power, said his team is eager to get another shot at reaching the regional final and beyond. The Hawks certainly have the goods to get there. Senior pitcher Kinsey Simmons was the Florida Today Player of the Year last year, posting more than 150 strikeouts. The power pitcher, who has tremendous location with her pitches, is also a defensive standout.
Pierce, who wants to make sure Simmons is fresh for the end-of-theseason stretch run plans to use pitchers Ana Breeden and Kate Callinan to help share the load on the mound. While the Hawks have the talent on the mound, they’ve also got plenty of talent to back it up. Senior catcher Alex Breeden has committed to South Alabama and senior center fielder Kaci Vassallo has committed to Lynn University. Junior shortstop Shay Richardson has matured and gotten stronger and was really ripping the ball early in the season. The Hawks are also expecting big things from junior Lindsey Bishop, who will move to third base this season. As if Viera weren’t loaded enough, the return of senior first baseman Kelly Kush and junior outfielder/designated hitter Ashley Jodoin, both who missed last season with knee injuries, should bolster the Hawks’ lineup.

Feb. 14, 2011, Viera High School — This year’s Viera High Track and Field team will be led by standout athletes like (L-R) Sean Applewhite, Carolyn Kreuzkamp, John Campbell, Haley Gethin, Jackie Stengel, Kelsey Dolan, Justin Gorbea and Matt Audo. Costello said practice was going well as Viera prepared for its season opener at home on Feb. 24 against Melbourne Central Catholic, Space Coast, Heritage, Palm Bay and West Shore. It will be the �irst of 11 meets the Hawks will take part in as they prepare for this year’s Class 3A, District 13 event, which will be April 18 at Merritt Island High. The Cape Coast Conference meet will be held on April 7, at Astronaut High School. With roughly 30 returners from last year’s boys and girls varsity teams, plus an in�lux of young talent, Viera hopes this will be another successful late season run. The boys have one of the state’s top distance runners in senior Harsha Torke, and one of the county’s top hurdlers and long jumpers in senior Sean Applewhite. Junior Kevin Mall is a topnotch shot putter and senior Dennis Hooper is a county
favorite in the intermediate hurdles. Other top boys include senior Kevin Brodur in the pole vault, junior Justin Gorbea in the 400 meters and senior John Campbell, who excels in the distance running events. Senior Matt Audo is a standout in the 400 meters. Sophomore Jackie Stengel is an accomplished sprinter and long jumper for the girls team. Junior Hazel Lockard is one of the county’s top hurdlers. Senior Jenna McElhinney is the returning district champion in the high jump and has a chance to make it two in a row. Junior Haley Gethin is a top distance runner. Junior Carolyn Kreuzkamp is one of the team’s best throwers. Sophomores Cierra Fisher and Hanah Clor excel in the hurdles. Another sophomore, Kelsey Dolan, will be a contender in the mile and also as part of the Hawks’ 4x800 meter relay. V V

Viera Baseball is “fun again” BY CARL KOTALA
Viera High baseball coach Jason Burch�ield sums up the atmosphere surrounding his team this season with three simple words. “It’s fun again,” Burch�ield said. With strong pitching, an improved defense and the maturity that comes with experience, the Hawks are hoping this is the year they can break through following an 1116 season in 2010. There are 11 players back from that team, including six starters. “All these guys, all the returners, these are the guys that I ran with when they were freshmen and sophomores,” Burch�ield said. “We knew going in it was going to be a process.” With senior righthander Jesse Schullstrom, junior Kenton Herring and sophomore David McKay, Viera is leaded on the mound.

VIERA VOICE Carl Kotala
L-R: Senior pitcher Jesse Schullstrom, senior catcher Cody Adams and sophomore pitcher David McKay are key members of a Viera High baseball team that is expecting big things in 2011. Feb. 9, 2011, Viera Regional Park. “There’s not a clear cut No. 1 right now,” Burch�ield said. “At any given time, any one of those guys could be our No. 1. Between those three guys, we really like our pitching. I look for that to be one of our strong points.” Senior catcher Cody Adams, who hit .320 last year, should provide leadership on and off the �ield and will be one of the key pieces on offense. So will junior third baseman Jimmy Emker, a 6-foot-4 lefty who will hit clean up and should be the Hawks’ big RBI man.
Steven Martinez, a sophomore shortstop who was a spring break call-up from the JV team last season, gives Viera an excellent defensive presence at shortstop. He teams with another sophomore, Kyle Post, to make the Hawks much better up the middle. The key, however, will be how much improvement Viera’s hitters can show at the plate. “We’ve got to hit better,” Burch�ield said. “I think our pitching and defense are going to be there.” V V

The daVinci surgical robot arrived at Holmes in late summer and required surgeons to be trained before using it. The first daVinci surgery was in early October. During robotic surgery, the surgeon sits at a console a few feet from the patient and another member of the surgical staff stands at the operating table with four jointed robotic arms overhead. The surgeon makes several small incisions, and inserts a microscopic camera and miniature instruments through the openings. Dr. John Bomalaski has already done 40 surgeries as the controller of the daVinci robot, now at a rate of two or three a week. “There are cases that would typically have required major abdominal surgery. With this tool, I’m able to get into very small spots. I’m still doing the same procedures but I can now do more complicated cases,’’ he said. The improvement has to do with how long, stick-like instruments are used for
laparoscopic surgery, he said. “We now have a much better range of motion to do the surgeries better. Before we had limited angles,’’ he said. Also better is the fact that the robot has a 3-D camera. This improved vision and control gives surgeons a means to remove only the cancerous tumors and leave the rest of the organ intact, he said. “It’s just like using your own eyes. The visual is very good. It makes my job easier, so I do a better job,’’ he said. The daVinci robot is stateof-the-art, but the future of the technology looks promising, he said. “It’s been around probably six or eight years, so it’s still kind of in the beginning stage, but this is the top-ofthe-line. Just think about what it’s going to be like in 10 years,’’ he said. Also using the daVinci robot at Holmes is urologist Dr. Andy Zabinski. “We’re not doing different surgeries, it’s just using a different tool,’’ Bomalaski said.
VIERA VOICE George White
Dr. John Bomalaski is among the growing number of surgeons at Holmes Regional Medical Center qualified to use the daVinci robot.
So far, the success rate has been very good and there’s been a dramatic decrease in recovery times, down from more than three days to a day and a half following surgery, Bomalaski said. V V See the daVinci robot at the Tech Know Expo on March 29 at Viera High School. For information, call 321-242-1235.

Watersong holds topping out ceremony
Love story winner! Tim Pishdad had almost given up on romance when he met a colleague in a cubicle city in Fort Lee, Virginia. The couple found many common interests and an of�ice romance became a soul mate dance. He proposed to her on the morning news during a “Surprise at Sunrise Valentine’s Day Proposal Special Event” on Feb. 14, 2002 and they married 3 months later. Army careers separated them brie�ly, but once they
retired and move to Florida, they have remained together. Mr. and Mrs. Pishdad received a photo package by Amanda Stratford Photography. V V

L-R: Bob Praise, Retreat at Watersong member; Mary Bowers, COO of Senior Living Communities; and Matt Johnson, Watersong’s executive director celebrate another milestone in the Viera community on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011.
BY MARY BROTHERTON
On Wednesday, Feb. 2, The Retreat at Watersong held a topping out ceremony for two new assisted living buildings in their neighborhood. A topping out ceremony, sometimes called a topping off, commemorates when the last beam is placed at the top of a building or may refer to the overall completion of the building’s structure. It usually includes the placing of an evergreen tree upon the structure to symbolize growth and bring luck. The construction crew, members of the Watersong community, representatives from Senior Living Communities and Viera leaders celebrated with speeches, M-F: 10A-8P • SAT: 10A-7P • SUN: 10A-6P food and drinks culminating with the placement of a small tree on the roof of one of the buildings.

Viera High School JROTC officers, students and their guests enjoy themselves at their first military ball.
BY MARY BROTHERTON
On Saturday, Jan. 29, Viera High School’s JROTC held its �irst military cadet ball at the Indian River Colony Club complete with a color guard, dancing and a four-course meal. Lt. Col. Tim Thomas, senior Army instructor said the program helps teach
accountability and events like the ball help them learn how to act and how to dress for a formal event. “They learn the proper way to go through a receiving line,” Thomas said. The JROTC Raider A Team took first place from among 18 teams in regional, which Thomas said is remarkable for the first year program. JROTC instructor Master Sgt. Michael Sonnenschein said, “It is most satisfying is to be able to impact these kids’ lives. We’re with them as teachers five days a week. It’s just been fabulous to see the turnaround. They’ve learned to respect their parents better at home. They are attributing it to
our program.” After noticing a rise in the student’s grades, Sonnenschein said he is excited to hear a student tell him, “This is the first time I’ve received As and Bs on my report card.” Sonnenschein said, “I just hope to be able to impact these kids’ lives to where when they graduate from high school, they can head off to college and be successful young men and women.” V V

our celestial neighbors had to be cancelled. But cloudy skies did not hold down the crowd or the enthusiasm of those attending the ceremony. For their projects, students chose a subject/question before making a hypothesis. After research, bibliography, materials, procedures and determining variables students tested, graphed, drew conclusions and then summarized their �indings. After which, the students determined the best way to display their results. The three main categories at the event were biological, physical and environmental. Third grade student Trey Golden came up with: How does age affect how well your memory is? Fourth grader Mark Lightner’s project was: How will keeping a banana apart from the bunch affect the ripening process? Sixth grade students Maddie Dale and Tabby Chick collaborated on: Does the amount of time we use chips in a hamster’s cage affect the pH value of the chips? Another team project, from Jennifer Riposta and Laura Rosenbalm explored how: Does the length of an airplane’s wings affect the lift and speed determining the distance it �lies. Assistant Principal Tami Lanterman announced the �irst, second and third place winners in the different categories, as Principal Cynthia Ford presented ribbons and medals to the young scientists of Williams Elementary School. These students can only guess at the wonders that await them as they mature into adults, but wonder they do, and will continue to do so, thanks to projects like the Star Party. V V

The Avenue Viera widens its choices VIERA VOICE Photo
LA Bridal owner, Lindsay A. Blagriff is ready to help brides and their families find the perfect dress and accessories for weddings and other special occasions.
By KEN PREVITI
Three new stores have given shoppers at The Avenue Viera even wider choices and selections. L.A. Bridal has just opened as the one great specialty store to keep in mind. Because it is locally owned and operated, the personalized service provided to each and every bride excels in producing the full bridal experience. Owner Lindsay A. Blagriff said, “We provide our brides with assistance in style, elegance and simplicity when choosing a gown. We offer fitting and styling with attention to detail.” The proffered designer gowns include Watters and
Watters, Wtoo, Allure, Allure Couture, Mon Cheri, Dessy, Jovani, Claudine for Alyce and Sophia Tolli, to name a few. Located next to Yankee Candle, the new store beckons to brides, attendants, mothers and anyone else needing the perfect dress for a special occasion. Famous Footwear will open between Charming Charlie, with its women’s fashion accessories, and Justice Just for Girls. Nationally famous for offering great brands with great quality at reasonable prices, their major brands include Adidas, Converse, Doc Martens, Etnies, Florsheim, Nike, Puma, Rockport, Skechers, Steve Madden and Timberland. Men’s, women’s and children’s shoes for all occasions will be available from this soon-to-open wonder shoe emporium. Visual Dynamics, the Space Coast’s premier Apple specialist, will soon open
its second location, next to Books-A-Million. While the new flagship store will showcase the entire line of Apple products, feature on-site service, training facilities and a dedicated business sales team, Visual Dynamics will remain open in its original location in Eau Gallie. L.A. Bridal, Famous Footwear and Visual Dynamics will add to The Avenue Viera’s unique shopping experience. For more information, visit viera.shoptheavenue.com or call 321-634-5390. V V

Moshe and Rhonda Almog demonstrate a Power Plate fitness machine at Vibes: New Age Fitness in Viera, on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011.
Vibes New Age Fitness moves into Viera By KEN PREVITI
Good vibes is the newest way to attain and maintain good health and good fitness. Vibes:New Age Fitness has moved into Viera to present the latest technology for a healthier and fitter you. The foundation of the program is the revolutionary Power Plate fitness machines, state-of-the-art devices that help users stretch, strengthen, massage and relax their bodies. This patented technology and worldwide franchise is popular in Europe, especially in the Scandinavian countries. Everyone’s body is stimu-
lated as a natural response to vibration. “Vibes” utilizes this natural response to enhance each person’s level of fitness and level of general health. The Power Plate technology transmits energy waves throughout the body that activate muscle contractions between 25 to 50 times per second, much faster than any other methods commonly used. These monitored sessions enhance overall health even when engaged in as little as 15 minutes a day, three times a week.

Chas Hoyman
Just out of high school, Chas Hoyman was working at an Eau Gallie lawnmower and bicycle shop when a mechanic suggested he major in accounting at the o University of South Florida the next fall. He became managing director of Hoyman Dobson Certi�ied Public e Accountants in 1984. Then, the company had three owners and four employees. Today, there are seven owners and 50 employees. Hoyman said he has been involved in many community activities with the goal to be in select organizations and work into a position of leadership within those organizations as a way to give back to the Brevard County community. Of the many non-pro�it organizations your company is involved with, which one is your “darling?” The United Way of Brevard has to be that darling organization at this time. Through the efforts of so many in our community, we have surpassed our 2010 campaign goal of $6.8 million. Our campaign raised $6,882,000, which is a 2.4% increase over the prior year. My wife Vonnie and I are thrilled with this result. This will allow the United Way to continue funding 67 health and human services programs at 42 agencies in our county. In addition to your career and family, which of your interests would you like to improve? Since my senior year at the University of South Florida, I’ve dabbled in photography and enjoyed it immensely. With the new digital equipment and the software that goes along with it, there is so much to learn to
improve my technique and the ability to produce pictures and other examples of my work. Over the last 10 years I have run a half-dozen half marathons and one full marathon. I’ve encouraged others to take up this activity and through it I have met many people and have been able to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Because of knee surgery, I have been told to limit or eliminate my running. If I could do one more thing, I would love to run a second marathon. Can you share a tip with our readers as they prepare to begin working on their 2010 taxes? It is begin with the end in mind. If you understand how a transaction will impact your tax return prior to implementing this transaction, you will be able to do a better job of preparing your income tax return. If you could go back in time and give some advice to yourself, what would it be? A career is made up of so many interactions and experiences that all come together. My best advice is to learn from each of those experiences and develop a strategy to improve the services and relationships you have with others that you come into contact with during your business career. Two of the �ive core values of Hoyman Dobson are: family and friends �irst, and relationships, leadership and creativity. What does this mean to you? In 2010, Accounting Today recognized Hoyman Dobson as one of the “Best Accounting Firms To Work For.” It has always been important to the leaders of Hoyman Dobson that we create a positive work environment for all of our team members. Winning this award by a national publication, based on input from our team members, shows that we are living our core Saturday 4:30 p.m. values. I am very proud of this.

Association Living
Parting Shot by Charlie Corbeil
Viera Voice is proud to bring you a new monthly column called Association Living. Written by Frank Kneiser, CMCA, AMS. The general manager of the 4,500-home Suntree Homeowners Association will discuss the many aspects and variables of Association Living. Kneiser has been a licensed Community Association Manager in Florida since 1990. He is not an attorney, however, a requirement of his Community Association Manager’s license is to stay abreast of the Florida Association laws. Legal questions should be referred to your attorney.
Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias)
These great blue herons are involved in building a nest at the Viera Wetlands. Each individual stick or branch is delivered by the male and installed in the tree by the female. Soon, the pair engages in a bill clappering duel, clasping their bills together and repeatedly moving their heads back and forth. The performance culminates in the female clenching the male’s bill in her own--a somewhat aggressive behavior. During this spectacle, all the feathers on their crests, necks, chests, and backs stand erect. Subsequently, the dimensions of the body parts are exaggerated, transforming

in Florida. Often, owners will use HOA as a generic term for their associations. HOA is actually an abbreviation for Homeowners Association and is governed by statute FL720. Homeowners usually own MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRISH BE WITH YOU THIS MONTH!
the lots surrounding their homes and a percentage of common areas and amenities of the association. Condominium Associations fall under statute FL718. Owners own only everything inside the paint of their units. The association owns everything outside of the paint, including the building(s), common areas and amenities and each owner shares a percentage of ownership. FL723 regulates Mobile Homes. Owners usually own their mobile homes and pay rent to a park owner in order to use the common areas and amenities. In some cases, owners own their mobile home and the association owns the common areas and amenities. In this case owners share a percentage of ownership and most provisions of FL720 would apply. Cooperative Associations, regulated by FL719, are less common. Owners buy shares in the co-op, which owns all units, buildings, common areas and amenities.
These associations generally have some things in common, such as being governed by a board of directors, usually elected by members. The board has a fiduciary duty to carry out all of the provisions of the articles, declaration and by-laws. Members pay assessments for the maintenance and management of common areas and amenities. Associations are usually referred to as “Deed Restricted” which means owners are required to and agree to abide by all rules and regulations found in the declaration and by-laws.

MARCH BUSINESS TIP: “Facebook is more than a social site. It is rapidly becoming a business visibility and building tool. According to a study conducted by Rice University’s Jones School of Business, consumers who become fans of a business’ Facebook page spend more money at that business. Creating a fan page is fairly straightforward and investing the time to produce one can lead to greater profits.” ~Jennefer Witter
