educate the public, but is not binding in any way. “We’re just trying to get information out to the community about the issues surrounding high stakes testing,” she said.

Disney-Brombach discussed two specific points in the resolution. “We are using this test to measure our teachers and grade their performance,” Disney-Brombach said. “The test was initially designed to make sure that schools were treating students fairly and delivering knowledge and information, and it turned into measuring students, and to measuring teachers individually, and it’s taken on a whole lot of uses that it wasn’t initially designed for.”

The FCAT has been criticized for placing a high focus on test results for grading educators and schools when it was intended to rank student achievement, and for driving many school districts to follow a “teach to the test,” approach rather than focus on specific student and local needs.

Disney-Brombach, along with board members Carol Johnson and Claudia Jimenez, and Superintendent Dr. Fran Adams attended the association’s annual meeting earlier this month and participated in what Johnson said were lively discussions about what should be addressed in the resolution.

Adams said the resolution was designed to send a message and

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -The Indian River County School District joined a growing list of school boards across the Sunshine State opposing some aspects of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.

On Tuesday board members voted 5-0 to approve the “Resolution on High Stakes Testing,” which was drafted by the Florida School Boards Association. The resolution is a counterpart to national resolution backed by the National Education Association, several national parent organizations, and the website TimeoutfromTesting.org.

While many similar measures are

being crafted across the country, the resolution was tailored for Florida. One of the leaders on the state level who helped draft the measure was school board member Karen Disney-Brombach, who is VicePresident of the Florida School Boards Association.

The FCAT began in 2001 as part of the state’s plan to increase student achievement by implementing higher standards. The test is administered to students in grades 3-11 covering mathematics, reading, science, and writing.

Starting with the 2010-11 school year, Florida began the transition from the FCAT to the FCAT 2.0 and Florida End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments.

The resolution addresses that concern with the wording, “Eliminate the practice of using student performance on standardized tests as the primary basis for evaluating teacher, administrator, school, and district performance.”

Disney-Brombach said one test on one day is not a good snapshot of how a student is performing overall and she believes the district does a good job of addressing student’s needs overall.

Another concern addressed in the resolution was also discussed

by Disney-Brombach, who said that the FCAT should not be used to compare Florida’s schools with other states as some states have easier tests. She believes the states should take the Norm Reference Test to offer better comparisons on school and student performances.

“We have seen over and over how there are states with a much easier state test than Florida receive a higher ranking than Florida,” Disney-Brombach said.

Johnson said the resolution presented an opportunity for educators, administrators, teachers, and parents to come together on the issue and that the resolution keeps the focus on the children. “That’s what this resolution is about, the children, and I think it’s a wonderful collaboration,” she said.

Jimenez said she was pleased that the resolution was adopted, saying it was an opportunity to educate the public and to address the tremendous expenses involved in the testing process. “That is money that is taken away from programs and salaries and funding that basically serves children,” she noted.

“It is worth repeating that we are not against accountability,” Jimenez added. “We want accountability that makes sense, that isn’t punitive to teachers, and isn’t punitive

to students.”

Indian River County Education Association President Beth Weatherstone thanked the board for adopting the resolution.

“These tests drain our schools of operating money and learning time,” Weatherstone said. “If this state continues on this course of high stakes testing scores being the sole determiner of success then our students will suffer.”

Johnson praised Disney-Brombach for her efforts on the state level, and for the insight her service gives to the board members in Indian River County.

“We came together and we were very focused,” Johnson said. Johnson noted that Jimenez and many other people had strongly advocated keeping the focus on the best interests of the children.

The resolution calls for the state to review the current system of accountability, and to shift away from using standardized test results as the primary basis for evaluating the performance of school districts and individual teachers.

It also addresses the burden that the FCAT’s place on school staff.

Adams said she thinks that parents in the district are already concerned with some of the issues surrounding the FCAT, but that awareness may not have filtered down to the general public.

“I’m not sure about the general public because they are not personally affected by it,” Adams said.

“There is so much written about the FCAT, so I think that people have heard about that, but I think that parents have the deepest level of understanding of what this really means.”

Adams said the resolution as approved is well-balanced in that it advocates for some means of accountability. “I don’t think anybody is opposed to accountability,” she said. “I think it’s important.”

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -With the growing chorus from across the state against the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, educators are beginning to consider the effectiveness of standardized testing.

Locally, the debate is centered on determining the best way to assess how well and how much Indian River County students are learning in the classroom.

It seems that much of their time is spent simply taking tests and putting the time in to prepare for them. The administrative staff of the Indian River School District put together a chart for the 2011-2012 school year that shows there were only 16 days in which a standardized test was not

being conducted for some group of students in the county.

“We are not against accountability,” said school board member Claudia Jimenez. “The current system is flawed. It is punitive, and needs to be revised to provide multiple forms of assessment and limited standardized testing. It should be fully funded as there are many expenses related to test development and administration. Furthermore, revisions should be phased in to avoid the embarrassment and loss of trust in the reliability of these tests as was witnessed in this year’s FCAT writing test.”

The state’s reliance on the FCAT has resulted in the standardized test being the single greatest measure of a school and its students’ and teachers’ success. Stu-

dent promotion to the next grade level and even high school graduation hinges on passing the test.

Moreover, teachers’ salaries are determined to a large extent by FCAT results and school-wide results allow students to transfer to better performing schools. The test results can even determine the courses a student must take and how resources are allocated.

It was because of having to meet all of these objectives that the Florida Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson earlier this year had to unilaterally change the pass/ fail criteria for the FCAT when scores dropped precipitously due to changes in the test. The state has had to set up a telephone hotline to handle angry calls from parents and issue numerous public statements about the reliability of the test.

With all this testing taking place, there is a growing concern that students may be developing rote testtaking skills rather than the skills necessary for critical analysis. This view was expressed by Roseanne Wood, a former principal from Tallahassee, in a recently published editorial in Florida Today.

“Never in my 37 years as an educator have I seen such a misguided waste of time, energy and resources as the current Florida ‘accountability’ system,” she wrote. “We need to be teaching our children how to learn.”

This increased emphasis on testing dates back to the administration of Gov. Jeb Bush who used standardized testing as a means of monitoring the Leave No Child Behind legislation signed into law

by President George W. Bush in 2001. But the grip of standardized testing goes back 14 years with the implementation of the Sunshine State Standards test.

There is growing evidence of dissatisfaction with the methodology and frequency of high stakes testing. This opposition is coming from all the stakeholders in the education system -- administrators, teachers, parents and students. At least a dozen school boards throughout Florida have adopted anti-standardized testing resolutions.

The Florida Association of School Boards adopted an antistandardized testing resolution this month that stated in part, “Since 1988 the number of staterequired high stakes tests administered each year has soared from two to more than twelve.”

The intended goal of the FCAT was to foster accountability of teachers and to document areas where a student might need help. Concerned teachers, parents and students now question if these goals can be achieved in the current climate.

The contract for the development and implementation of the FCAT was awarded at a cost of $254 million to NCS Pearson, which is identified on Wikipedia as “the world’s leading learning company.”

NCS Pearson has had its problems in Florida and was fined $15 million when it was late last year in returning the final FCAT results.

Standardized testing is now a multi-billion dollar industry across the nation. As state Education Commissioner Robinson has stated, “Florida invests $16.5 billion in state and local funds to support public schools. Our assessment investment is $59 million.”

According to Cynthia Rountree, Director of Instructional Support for the Indian River County School District, as of this spring the cost for FCAT and EOC (End of Course) testing in grades 3 through 12 cost the county $829,631.

On its website the IRNA identifies its mission in part by saying, “We are a non-partisan, countywide organization with the single objective of preserving Indian River County’s quality of life and natural resources.”

In 2010 the IRNA endorsed Dale Simchick in her primary run against incumbent Joe Flescher and Charlie Wilson. Flescher received 40.57 percent of the vote, Simchick 34.22 percent and Wilson 25.21 percent.

In District 1 the incumbent Wesley Davis is running unopposed.

we felt we could support,” Carman said. “We found many things about a lot of the candidates we liked, but not enough of any one candidate to say this would merit our endorsement.”

The candidates were interviewed by a nine-member endorsement committee representing most geographic areas of Indian River County. That group came up with the recommendation against endorsing any of the candidates which was presented to the 20-member board of directors. The board unanimously agreed with the endorsement committee’s recommendation.

“None of the candidates appear to have enough in common with the IRNA core issues on environment protection and growth management,” said Brian Carman, Executive Director of the IRNA. “In District 3 we will review the candidates after the primary and we may endorse for the general election in November.”

The IRNA, which estimates is core membership to be about 1,500, interviewed each candidate and asked eight questions ranging from moving the urban service boundary, the proposal to eliminate impact fees, to bringing jobs into the community.

LOCAL NEWS COUNTY COMMISSION CANDIDATE PROFILES

Heady throws his hat back in the ring Former Vero Council member seeking District 5 County Commission seat

BY J.G. WALLACE VERO BEACH NEWSWEEKLY

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- Brian Heady has always done things a bit differently.

Take the simple act of writing notes. During a recent interview about his candidacy to become a county commissioner, Heady placed a legal pad in a lengthwise, landscape manner and then wrote careful and meticulous notes within the now vertical lines.

It works for him.

So does his straight-shooting approach to politics. Heady’s campaign logo includes a bull in

the familiar crossed out red circle symbol. Even with local attorney Nick Thomas on the ballot, Heady cuts to the chase and says his main challenger is the incumbent, Commissioner Bob Solari.

“I don’t like what the current commissioner is doing. I don’t like his position on sand pumping. I think that is an incredible waste of money,” Heady said of the county’s beach replenishment efforts. “You spend millions of dollars dumping sand on the beach and then want to fire lifeguards. Really?”

Heady’s strongest criticism against the sitting commissioner

is for his position on privatization of government services. Solari points to that movement as one of his accomplishments during his last four years in office.

“I don’t like his position on privatizing,” Heady said. “What we can’t do in this country is reduce the government spending on the backs of the working class, and that’s exactly what’s happening. The working class isn’t the enemy. Government should be proud to pay their employees a decent living wage. I think priva-

tizing gets rid of people who are making a decent living wage and replaces them with minimum wage people. That doesn’t help us a community.

“One of the things that you hear all the time is that government should be run like a business,” Heady said. “No, government should be run like a government.”

effective manner. He said the recent trend toward privatization of such county services as the transfer stations and landfill have contributed to our economic woes.

“If they are not doing that in a cost effective way then we need to get rid of the management people who don’t know how to do that,” Heady said.

He noted the apparent contempt around the country for public employees and public service work is in his words, “awful.” He blames the problem on management, and extends that to the top elected and appointed officials.

“If you have a government body that can’t run whatever function they are in charge of in a decent way, it’s not the guys making the decent living wage that’s the problem, it is the management.”

Heady said he will let voters decide if he is a conservative or a progressive, but that he will always be a watchdog and make sure that every dollar collected in taxes is spent wisely.

Even if he came in with the reputation of being a firebrand, he says he earned a reputation as a hard working member of the Vero Beach City Council during his tenure from 2009-2011.

He took pride in the level of research he gave even the smallest issues.

He also agreed with the perception that his no-compromise attitude earned him a reputation as someone who doesn’t “play well with others.”

“Did I play well with someone who wanted to lie, cheat, and steal from the public? I didn’t play well at all,” Heady said.

He is optimistic about his

chances in the August primary, noting that in 2008 he ran against Solari for the county commission seat as an independent and received about 18,000 votes despite being outspent by nearly $78,000. Solari won that race with about 40,000 votes.

This time around, with Thomas in the race, Heady sees the attorney serving as a possible spoiler. Heady’s hope is that the same 18,000 voters will still support him, but that the Thomas supporters can cut into Solari’s base enough to boost Heady to victory.

“It wouldn’t take that many people,” Heady said. “I only need to pick up a few thousand votes.”

Heady knows about campaigning. He’s earned the local reputation as a perennial candidate, having run for School Board in 1992; for Vero Beach City Council eight times, with a victory in 2009; for county commission in 2004 and 2008, and as a writein candidate for U.S. Senate in 2000.

Heady admits that candidates develop a sense of tunnel vision, when they tend to be approached mostly by people who support them and their platform. He said a simple trip to the grocery store now turns into multi-hour affair because so many people stop him to discuss the campaign.

Heady’s sense of community extends beyond the county borders. He volunteers with the Building Goodness Foundation as a project manager building houses in earthquake shattered regions in Haiti.

“It changes a life. It’s something the people couldn’t have without someone’s help,” Heady said. “So when I say it changes a life, it changes the lives of the

Guild sets auditions for first show of season

VERO BEACH — The Vero Beach Theatre Guild will hold auditions for “Hotbed Hotel” at 7 p.m. July 1, 2 and 9.

This American farce by Michael Parker is the Guild’s first show of the 2012-13 season.

Set at a Key West hotel that has no guests when a prospective buyer plans a visit, the owners masquerade the staff as guests. Roles require five women and four men, ages 18 to 60. Director Mark Wygonik will be assisted by Laura Cooney as stage manager and Larry Thompson as producer.

No registration is required. Production dates are Sept. 13 through 16 and Sept. 19 through 23.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Clerk-elect Jeff Smith has announced that due to statewide budget cuts the county Clerk of Courts’ Office will cut hours starting July 2.

The new offices hours will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, instead of the current 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. when people can look over files or file new cases.

People seeking marriage licenses or passports will have access from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Smith said he will not fill five jobs which are already vacant because of the budget reduction.

“This is attrition,” he said. “But if they hadn’t left voluntarily, I’d be having to lay off people.”

Smith said the Legislature’s $29.5 million cut from clerk’s offices led the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corp., which sets clerks’ budgets across the state, to equally distribute a 7 percent cut among all counties.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY -- The fourth-grade class at Vero Beach Elementary School submitted the winning name of “Icee” for the lifesized Columbian mammoth now on display at the Environmental Learning Center.

The name is attributed to the mega fauna in which the Columbian mammoth lived during the most recent ice age.

Entries were judged on creativity, historical references, and originality. Other top picks included: Ossabaw (Wabasso spelled backward); Spears (derived from the way the Paleo Indians hunted) ELCy (pronounced “Elsie” because she lives at the ELC) and Hunter (because the mammoth is hunted).

Volunteer Jan Garrison and caretaker Dan Perkins created the Columbian mammoth which measures 14 feet from foot to shoulder. It “lives” at the Lagoon Days Florida History Station at the ELC.

arships.

Banks was recognized for his participation in student government at IRCHS and athletic achievements along with his volunteer work for Oceans Conservancy, Indian River County Main Library, Indian River Medical Center, Cystic Fibrosis Haunted House and the Greek Festival.

Campbell was active in Vero Beach High School marching band, Symphonic I and Symphonic II concert Bands, Alliance Ministry Team, Alliance Youth Band and Alliance Youth Group. He also participated in mission trips to Chattanooga, Tenn., and Cat Island in the Bahamas throughout his high school years.

Both graduates plan to attend Indian River State College in the fall.

Banks is studying Computer and Information Science and Campbell is studying Computer Engineering.

VERO BEACH -- The Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County has received a $20,000 grant from the John’s Island Community Service League to support the organization’s “Care for the Caregiver” program.

Care for the Caregiver is a program designed to offer caregivers temporary relief as they face the daily challenges of caring for a loved one. The help includes in-home companion-level care, adult day care in collaboration with Senior Resource Association and a social respite group held within the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association Activities Center. The social respite program is held five mornings a week.

The respite program is designed to allow caregivers time to take care of themselves -- to attend appointments, social outings, exercise or just have some quality down time.

To learn more about volunteer opportunities, making a donation to the respite program or about other programs available in Indian River County, visit www.alspark.org or call 772-563-0505.

Beyond reporting the news and putting facts in context, the press can help provide a forum for thoughtful public discourse.

The end result of reasoned debate, hopefully, is evolution of thought, improved public policy and ultimately a better community.

As the story unfolds and the debate progresses over a possible sale of the city’s electric system to Florida Power and Light, we have and will continue to report on the likely costs and benefits of a sale, both for the city and for the larger community.

Even though negotiations between the city, FPL, the Florida Municipal Power Agency and the Orlando Utility Commission are far from concluded, and the key numbers in the equation have yet to be clarified, many have made up their minds a sale either is or is not best for the community.

For some, the ultimate benefits to the 32,000 customers of Vero Electric and the larger community are so clear and so significant they are dismissive of others who would reserve judgment until all the spe-

cifics of a deal are on the table.

Those who are convinced a sale makes sense at any price seem to have no patience for a public discussion about how the city will need to raise taxes and reduce services in the wake of a sale of the electric system. They are so

sure the city is being held captive by the FMPA they don’t want to see reporting explaining the complexities of the city’s contractual obligations to an organization it freely joined and with whom it knowingly made commitments to bond holders.

Indian River County Commissioner Bob Solari appears to be one person who has made up his mind, and who doesn’t want his thinking further confused with facts. In his capacity as County Commissioner, Solari said from the dais last week that with regard to the FPL negotiations for Vero Electric, “Vero Beach Newsweekly seems confused about a lot of this stuff.”

Solari is borrowing a tactic from the Nixon administration, which sought to divert the public’s attention from the full truth by accusing The Washington Post of misreporting the Watergate story. Well, we all know how that turned out.

While the electric utility issue is hardly the Watergate story, it is a matter of significance to our community. For those who want more than a narrow, limited perspective, we will continue reporting the full story.

While Solari is arguing the merits of a deal that has not yet been inked, others question if the numbers will ultimately add up. In fact, there are those who are so sure the city cannot find a way to live without the $6 million it annually transfers from the electric system to the general fund they don’t want to hear or read a word about how high city electric rates (some 25 percent above that of FPL) are costing the community $20 million or more a year.

At the same time, this group can’t imagine the city getting by without its annual “fix” of $6 million from the electric system and seems reluctant to have a discus-

the mash to create olive oil (or at least the juice that was separated to leave oil).

All of our work yielded about two liters of oil that we kindled for the first time on RABBI MICHAEL BIRNHOLZ the first night of Chanukah in December. It actually worked. The oil lit just like it did for our Maccabean ancestors!

Since we did not use all of the oil for Chanukah, I realized that we could continue to use it in place of candles to mark the beginning of every Sabbath. Now as we get down to the dregs of our oil supply seven months later, something very powerful caught my attention.

So often in religious life we gather in big moments: holidays, life cycles, celebrations and tragedies. We are in big groups and we release tremendous amounts of energy in praising and wrestling with God and connecting as community.

This olive oil experience was the mirror image. Instead of coming together for a big moment of energy release, we actually came together to create a valuable storehouse of potential energy that the community was able to release and use in small amounts over time.

Our efforts in October and November provided fuel for this community that lasted for more than seven months. All of the joy, enthusiasm and effort from that

one day can be felt each time the lit match makes contact with the wick and the oil is ignited.

This can’t be limited to our olive oil experience. We have to find or create other moments when we gather as communities to create and store energy that can make a positive impact on down the line.

It is an exercise in long range vision, hope and patience. May we all be part of experiences in which we do not to work for the payoff in the now, but labor together in large groups to create big energy that can be released to sustain our world long into the future.

Sometimes crazy rabbi ideas work out.

One day a few years ago, while researching Middle Eastern food, I stumbled onto the fact that we could grow olives in Vero Beach and that it is possible to produce olive oil without a factory or big, expensive machines.

Over the next few years, we planted olive trees, built a cedar wood press, and gathering the information and tools to turn olives into oil. Then last fall, with flood waters still swirling around a varied community of teenagers and retirees, Jews and Christians, our Religious School students and volunteers from the wider community came together to crush olives – sometimes one by one – and press

Vero Beach it has taken in South Daytona – namely that a decision to purchase or sale of a municipal utility should ultimately rest in the hands of voters.

Despite the objections of those who want only half the electric utility story told, we will continue to report the likely costs and benefits of the sale, so that readers can do the math for themselves and make their own informed decisions. We believe that if people are given light they will find their own way.

Whatever views reporters, editors or publishers may express in news analysis reports and editorials, their opinions, informed though they may be, are still opinions.

sale their final approval, if and when a deal is finally negotiated between city and FPL. Now, many proponents of the sale, including Mayor Pilar Turner, Vice Mayor Craig Fletcher and Councilwoman Tracy Carroll maintain a second referendum is not necessary.

That a decision of this significance to a community should be submitted to a referendum is exactly the position FPL has taken in South Daytona, where the city is attempting to buy its system back from the state’s largest investorowned utility. In fact, FPL felt so strongly the South Daytona decision should not be left in the hands of a three-person majority of the city council that it funded a petition drive calling for a referendum.

If the city and FPL are able to negotiate an agreement that will benefit all stake holders, we hope FPL will take the same position in

Anyone who questions this need only look at the wording in advertisements placed by FPL and the local Tea Party, and in emails sent out by the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce, the Tax Payers Association and other organizations that supported the referendum, and in pronouncements made by the County Commission.

“This referendum is not an approval to sell the electric system, but simply gives the city council permission to continue discussions with FPL,” they all said one way or another.

Clearly, the intention of this careful and creative wording was to persuade voters to support last fall’s referendum by leading them to believe they would eventually have an opportunity to give the

sion about how the city’s property tax rate is only half that of many Florida cities of comparable size.

The “we-can’t-let-go-of-ouraddiction” crowd is hardly given to accepting that Vero Beach’s tax rate is artificially low because the city has for years at least partially balanced its budget on the backs of its electric customers, 22,000 of whom live outside the city.

A newspaper’s role is to give readers access to the information they need to be informed voters, and if they choose, advocates for good government. Sometimes, fulfilling this role means holding all sides in a debate accountable to the facts.

For example, some proponents of the sale of Vero Electric insist voters approved the sale by passing last fall’s referendum on leasing the power plant site. That is simply not true. Specifically, what voters approved was a lease of the

United Way kicks off fundraising campaign for 2012 - 2013

BY CHRISTINA TASCON VERO BEACH NEWSWEEKLY

United Way’s new co-chairs, Bob and Amy Brunjes, were introduced last week to the many organizations which will be depending on them at an introductory party hosted by CenterState Bank.

Carrabba’s Restaurant, a regular United Way supporter, provided an Italian spread and cocktails were served from the bank’s teller windows.

“We’re thinking of doing this every Friday,” joked CenterState regional president Andy Beindorf.

In a room filled with leaders from the non-profit community, sponsors and local government officials, Michael Kint, United Way CEO, introduced Jim Ackerman of CVS, who was last year’s volunteer organizer.

“United Way is a charity that people have supported because it is considered a direct investment into their community,” Ackerman said.

It is also an organization that depends on people attending

event fundraisers and signing up to fill the gaps in the nonprofit groups which work under the UW umbrella.

Don and Chris Loftus were the chairs of last year’s Capital Campaign and changed the focus from dollars donated to percentage of volunteer participation. That participation last year was 100 percent.

What does that say? Well

Chris believes it is a result of the community wanting to help neighbors with their time as well as their checkbooks.

“Our theme last year was to have more volunteer participation,” said Loftus, “and we accomplished that. Everyone raised the bar. We’ve had such fun and met many wonderful people and most importantly we engaged so many new faces.”

After being lauded by Kint, Chris Loftus told the gathered group she appreciated all their help.

“My mother always said you can never say thank you enough,” she said. “Now we get to pass the torch to our new chairs, Bob and Amy.” Bob Brunjes, President and Publisher of Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers and his wife, Amy Brunjes, External Affairs Manager at Florida Power & Light, said they knew team Loftus had left them with big shoes to fill.

“FP&L employees have shown a hundred percent commitment to the community,” said Amy Brunjes. “Now Bob and I hope to do great things for United Way this year.”

“I have been involved with United Way before,” Bob Brunjes said, “and I have never seen the community come together so well. I know it is a critical time and I have seen the state of the economy such as it is, and I see that the need is even greater now.”

VERO BEACH – Dr. Kristin Kelly, board certified in family medicine, finds herself part of an increasing number of physicians choosing to pursue a medical career as an employed physician of a hospital rather than opening a private practice.

The decisions for joining one of the employed physician facilities that are beginning to crop up within the medical landscape vary

with each doctor. Some do it for personal or family reasons to have better control of their hours or because they have reached a point in their careers where they want to continue in their profession but are not necessarily interested in the paperwork and management involved with running their own practice.

Kelly, born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, is the anchor of Vero Family Medicine located at 1255 37th Street in Vero Beach and

run by the Sebastian River Medical Center. She cites the variety of patients she sees daily, but with a more personal touch of a family doctor, as among the reasons she chose to work as a family doctor for SRMC. Historically, doctors went into private practice and maintained privileges at the local hospital. Today’s physicians leaving medical school are showing an inclination toward a team-based practice.

In the 1990’s American hospi-

tals began to employ doctors on a larger scale. The number of employed physicians increased from 62,152 in 1998 to 91,282 in 2010, according to the American Hospital Association.

This type of arrangement allows physicians to focus on the patient and not worry about the day-today operations of running a practice. Startup investments, a decline in insurance reimbursement, increasing costs and access to new technology are just a few of the

She spent the next four years working for Urgent Care and raising her three young children; Edward 6, Padraic 3, and Caitlin 1.

“Initially I worked part-time at Urgent Care while home schooling my oldest son Edward,” she said.

Over the years, as her work demands increased, she decided by being an employed physician with SRMC she would be able to maintain a more balanced work schedule.

“I never knew what the next patient would need at Urgent Care,” she said. “The variety kept my work interesting, but what I really missed was the type of relationships that I saw my father build with his patients over the years.”

Urgent care type facilities focus on quick, efficient care. In this type of environment patients might not see the same doctor at each visit. It makes it difficult to get to know the patient and his or her history. The desire to maintain that type of care brought Kelly to SRMC’s Vero Family Medicine.

“I remember hearing my father on the phone at night calling to check on his patients,” she said.

“I tried that with patients here and they seemed shocked that the doctor would personally call them. This is the type of care that working with SRMC will allow me to continue.”

Kelly sees patients Monday through Thursday. On Friday, three other hospital physicians will hold office hours at Vero Family Medicine: gynecologist Dr. Taryn Gallo, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kirk Maes, and thoracic surgeon Dr. Peter Seirafi.

reasons given by doctors for their move to hospital employment.

SRMC currently has six hospital-run doctor’s offices in Sebastian. Vero Family Medicine is its first venture in Vero Beach.

The Vero Family Medicine facility currently has nine employed physicians. Experts have recently gone as far as predicting that over the next 10 years, 85 percent of American doctors will be employed by hospitals.

Kelly is no stranger to the life of a doctor. She spent her childhood immersed in her father’s internal medicine practice near Hamburg, Germany.

“I knew by the time I was 10 years old that I wanted to be a doctor,” said Kelly. “My mother was the office manager and I would follow the nurses around all day long. They really taught me a lot.”

While in medical school, Kelly met her husband John-Edward Kelly, an American studying music in Germany. She knew that she wanted to experience life outside of Germany, so she took the U.S. medical board exams. After a practical evaluation in Philadelphia, she became qualified to practice medicine in both Germany and the United States.

Upon graduating from medical in 2000 from Medizinische Hochschule Hannover, she spent a year in Germany training in internal medicine and cardiology. When the decision was made to move to the United States she did her residency in Tallahassee.

“My husband is the conductor of the Arcos Orchestra. He does a great deal of traveling to perform his music, so settling in the United States made sense,” she said.

With dialogue by Faye McKenzie, costumes by Marg Putzke and orchestrations by Jeff Michaels, the technical aspects of the show were equally well in hand with Joseph Sutherland and Billy O’Bryan on follow spots and David Seeton on sound.

Coming full circle to the opening number and title of the show, “Dancing in the Street” reprieved once more to end the evening with a jubilant party of cast and audience who rocked the dance floor and were now reluctant to leave and return to the 21st century.

At the beginning of the show, Putzke summed up the program as well as essence of the ‘60s era.

“Tonight’s music is all about the fun stuff,” he said.

And it was.

“Dancing in the Street” features an all-inclusive dinner theatre package with dinner, show, tax and gratuity for $45 per person as well as the option for show-only tickets, with seating at the bar for $22.50 per person. The show will perform on Sundays June 24, July 8 & 22 and August 5 & 19.

VERO BEACH --The installation of Rick Beck’s large scale cast glass sculptures required a delicate touch and a fine eye, but once the process was completed the pieces were perfectly highlighted in the Bill Buck Atrium in the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Beck and his wife Valerie traveled with the sculptures from their studio in Spruce Pine, N.C., without a single break or complication along the route.

They began the arduous task of installing the work last Wednesday and the display was completed for a private opening reception held Friday evening. “Form, Color and Light” was opened to the public the next day.

Rick Beck pours molten glass into casting molds to form his pieces. What makes the hues of his glass so extraordinary is his use of recycled glass from the Fenton Fine Art Glass Studio in West Virginia.

Fenton Glass has been renowned since 1905 as one of the premiere fine art glass companies and competes at the standard of Tiffany. There are many avid fans of its line of Carnival Glass and figurines.

To form a figure in cast glass, the liquid material is poured into mold cups and then pressed. The overflow of glass falls to the bottom of the oven into the sand and form jagged lumps of glass.

Fenton has no use for these leftovers and also discards figures with any imperfections both of which they sell to Beck.

Beck melts these pieces again to pour for his sculptures which provide the most visually stunning colors and shadows.

Interestingly, in “Clear Milk Spoon,” the outline of several cats is subtlety recognizable where he used recycled glass cat figures to form the base of the spoon. The average viewer would not see the outline but the resulting pattern adds light and shadow to the sculpture.

Beck tends to design large scale sculptures with mechanical and household themes such as large spoons, scissors and machines but other work has roots in Matisse’s paintings.

“Matisse was overwhelmed by pattern,” said Beck, “his motif of odalisques which were the forms of harem women, shows his ability to play with the figure so the figure is more than just the body.”

A selection of Beck’s pieces brings that into play. Beck describes his vision and allows the viewer a very clear perception of his thought process.

In “Indigo Odalisque” and “Yellow Odalisque,” the concave and convex shapes in his work are visions of women as seen in paintings by the master painter. Following the curves along the sculpture Beck brings in the limbs and torso of the model.

Beck’s sculptures are also made with the help of his wife Valerie Beck and the collaboration of a metal artist Bill Brown.

“I just do the grunt work,” Valerie Beck said.

“Bill Brown takes from sketches of what I want the

glass piece to look like,” said Rick. “Then he brings in the pattern of my sketch to form his part of the metal work which is usually the base piece.”

Why does Beck create so many mechanical pieces using massive working screws and movable parts? Perhaps it is because when Beck was still as student learning glass art at Hastings College, he helped build needed equipment for other glass

makers in the studio. His connection to the parts and equipment which he now displays in his glass sculptures was formed from this time.

“As I was making all these tools, my sleeping and waking hours were about how to make them,” said Beck. “You always bring your life and experiences into your art.”

Radio show combines local scene with love of sports

BY MICHAEL BIELECKI VERO BEACH NEWSWEEKLY

VERO BEACH – To quench Indian River County’s undeniable thirst and love of sports there is a radio talk show being run by a couple of “knuckleheads.”

The Sideline Show on 1490 AM WTTB runs from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. every week day by a pair self-admitted sports fanatics, Jason Redmon and Derek Muller. During the show the duo runs the sports gamut by coving everything from little league baseball to girls’ lacrosse.

“When we started this show, we wanted to touch as many kids and parents as we could,” Redmon said. “I was doing radio before, and I knew Derek has always had a real passion for it too. When my other show came to an end he wanted to do a show together -- and so did I. We’re just two knuckleheads who love sports and are all about kids, so we decided to do it.”

There is a heavy emphasis on local sports, although relevant regional and national sports headlines do kickoff every show. The headlines are followed by guests, which during the school year usually includes one of Indian River County’s high school athletic directors giving the audience a rundown of what was going on at their schools.

As with most talk show formats the hosts encourage and take calls from the listeners throughout the hour.

“There are 5,000 kids participating in sports in Indian River County, and if you go through all the seasons, that’s (potentially) 5,000 families we have a chance to

After a successful spring, Redmon and Muller’s show was extended three months through the summer. According to the hosts, the show is making a push to be extended from one hour to two in the fall, where the show would air week days from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.

“By the third show, the radio station stopped questioning if we could fill our hour time slot with sports,” Redmon said. “That was about the time we knew we needed to cover everything we would like to cover and that we would eventually like to push the show to two hours. There’s always something going with sports in Vero Beach.”

The show’s list of past and future guests is offers everything from youth sports to local professional athletes.

Feeling a little adventurous we strayed out of our usual haunts and headed south to Fort Pierce to a restaurant we had long heard about, but never tried.

12A Buoy is a tiny little seafood restaurant almost conspicuously hidden from view as if on purpose at the base of the Seaway Drive bridge.

Walking into a small dark dining room we were surprised by the casual decor. Having heard that the former chef here was from the famed Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, we had expected table cloths and fine linens, but instead only bare tables and booths, more consistent with an ordinary roadside fish house. In fact, after we were told to choose any table and took our seats, we soon expected to be munching on nothing more than fish and chips served in red plastic baskets, or perhaps a burger and fries on greasy wax paper.

Looking around at the other diners already eating their food, we quickly realized this was not the fish n’ chips place that we expected upon our arrival. Rather, we saw some incredible looking dishes with beautiful presentations rivaling that of many formal restaurants.

Upon hearing the list of daily specials one appetizer in particular was tempting, a portabella mushroom cap stuffed with crab meat and spinach. In addition to the

appetizer a combination of two chowders billed as “Jack’s Miami Vice” also sounded interesting, so we decided to share a bowl of the chowder combo as well.

When the bowl of chowder arrived it was far from your ordinary New England variety. As the name suggests the “vice” (meaning two) included both red conch chowder and New England chowder, combined in one large bowl. The thick, rich chowders were carefully ladled into the bowl so there was a distinct separation of both. A ring

of white clam chowder toward the rim and the red conch chowder in the center made for an interesting presentation. The concoction was bursting with so much flavor, the salt and pepper grinders were not necessary.

Aside from the conch (chopped, cooked sea snails) being a bit chewy, the overall flavor of the chowder combination proved to be a bottom of the bowl winner and at $6 for a large bowl, it was a bargain.

The stuffed portabella cap was also huge for an appetizer. The

beefy texture and flavor of the large tender mushroom, overstuffed with sweet chunks of breaded crab meat and freshly cooked spinach was divine and topped off with a generous amount of tangy béarnaise sauce. This was a meal in itself. The dish was garnished with a single fresh orchid blossom, a custom usually found in more upscale establishments.

We perused the wine list, which included a fair amount of domestic reds and whites, with botCONTINUES ON PAGE 27
