Wayne Finally Gets His Way
CREATIVE DIRECTOR Francis Gigantic
By Craig Harriman : Photography by Ray Baldino
CONTENT MANAGER Rachel Bilchak
The November issue is a tribute to Art. I’d like to say a few words about one artist in particular, someone that touched my life- Wayne Coombs. When I first came to Cocoa Beach, my office started out in the old auto body shop on the corner of Brevard and Minutemen in Downtown. It was 2010, and I had just got out of the Marine Corps and found myself in Cocoa Beach beginning the exciting venture of small business ownership. Wayne’s Mai Tiki studio was just a couple hundred feet from there. I had rented the lot between both of our properties and we used to host events there. Wayne spoke of the alley behind our businesses and how he thought it really could be something. I agreed with him.

Wayne was a large man, some would say a giant. With this I also agree. He had a great hand shake and when he spoke you became immediately interested
in what he was talking about. Sometimes a distinct aroma would come out of his gallery…
N O V E M B E R 2015
PUBLISHER Craig Harriman
He might say something along the lines of, “Like my cologne?” with squinty eyes and a cheeky smile. He had spent so much time at Mai Tiki that he had trained the curly tail lizards to eat from his hand. Wayne and his wife Beki had spent over 40 years supporting the art community and it made me really think about how much someone had to love to do something to do it for 40 years. Wayne’s impact was s i g n i f i c a nt . You see his art worldwide, and locally you see it at some pretty iconic place like the end of Minutemen Causeway leading into the beach, Coconuts on the Beach, Cocoa Beach Surf Company, the Cocoa Beach Pier, Sandbar, Ron Jon’s, the welcome sign for Cocoa Beach, and of course at Mai Tiki Market, just to name a few. My relationship with Wayne was very short. He passed away on the street corner next to the Mai Tiki property on September 4th, 2012. In the short amount of time we spent together before his death I learned so much about him and his family, and how he had such a positive impact on the community and the people that surrounded him. Seeing this and wanting to make sure it continued for years to come, I made the decision to take ownership of Mai Tiki and carry on Wayne’s legacy. This month we invite you to come to Mai Tiki Market in Downtown Cocoa Beach during the Cocoa Beach Art Show where we will be hosting the ribbon cutting for Wayne Coombs Way, the
newly renamed section of Burris Alley directly behind Mai Tiki Market. Please come join this celebration to honor the tiki carving legend. There will be live music, food and fun for all. For more information check out our Facebook or like Mai Tiki Market on Facebook to get more details. I think Wayne would be excited about the future of W a y n e Coombs Way. It has some great
businesses on that street: Roberto’s, The Tiny Turtle, Wahoo Coffee, Hair Biz, The Fat Donkey, Rick Piper’s Big Art Studio, Nui Tiki, Coastal Produce and more to come. It is a family friendly environment where you can enjoy art and hopefully get inspired to create some on your own or maybe buy locally. All and all I think Wayne would be happy... He always had a grin to spare. This one’s for you, Wayno.

The Mystique of a Half Marathon Full of Jeannie’s
GOIN‘
Anonymous Runner
A group of lions are a pride. Cheetahs are a coalition. A group of Jeannie’s who run are enchanting. I was one of the 2,700 runners in the “I Dream of Jeannie”- themed Cocoa Beach Half Marathon which took place on October 25, 2015. This article was written four hours after the end of the marathon with fresh remembrances and sore toes.
Grumble Grumble The first mile coasts by on a cloud. The sun is rising, the smell of coconut sunblock in the air, and the day is full of hope. A1A Northbound car traffic entertained by the spectacle tried to motivate us southbound runners. Drivers honked horns or turned up their radios for inspiration as they drove by. One guy blasted “Eye of the Tiger” and cracked up the group of tutu adorned women. The “Rocky” theme song played in my head and plastered a smile on my face for a few miles. Cocoa Beach residents lined the road and sat in lawn chairs and cheered us on.

Here is a brief description of the event and what to expect in general when you’re “half marathoning.”
Marathon Shyness I got a little “first day in kindergarten” jitters as soon as I got off the shuttle and realized I’d be alone. I was soon distracted by various Jeannie impersonators, tutus and even someone dressed like Princess Leia. It’s impressive that these costumes can be both beautiful and function as running gear. Everyone complimented each other’s designs or outfit choices. Marathoners are traditionally a friendly bunch and my shyness soon evaporated. A few miles in, strangers were chatting like old friends.
My group was impressed with the brave photographer who hung his head out of the belltower at Club Zion. We figured we should reward his bravery with some fast footwork. There was a talented singer in front of Taco City who serenaded us and passersby stood outside and cheered. By mile four or five the glucose from breakfast had burned off. My stomach growled and a slice of postrun pizza sounded great. It became noticeable that treadmill miles and road mileage weren’t the same and 13.1 miles felt far. My lungs burned. The wrong socks cut my heels and my ankles hurt. continues on next page

After I drank a few runner’s gels, called Clif Shots (picture jelly from a jelly-filled donut) my feet felt lighter. A mile snuck by me because someone was chatting about the mysterious red light on the Cape Building. Past mile eight I was in a zone. Legs were on autopilot and I realized that we humans were meant to run.
Triumphant Victory After passing through the tiki path on the beach and past Coconuts, the last leg was upon us. There were more signs. “You’re almost there” and “Sweat is sexy” assured me that people who came out to celebrate their loved ones victory were cheering for everyone. The last three miles in the home stretch were a victory lap. I passed recent champs with flower leis and medals around their necks and wanted to join their club. I crossed the finish line with kindhearted people on the sidelines who scanned my four digit bib number and cheered me by name. When you mention a half marathon the first thing people say is, ”I could never do that.” The truth is anyone who trains and is in reasonably good health can run one. From Olympic hopefuls or might-have-beens to grandmas who recently started running, we all run together. We all completed the same test of will and stamina. All striving for the same “I Dream of Jeannie” purple lamp medal, but we all had our own reason to run. Some ran to win and others to set or improve their PR (personal record). Some run to celebrate a second chance at life or to remember someone they lost. The rest may run for the pure joy of it with no interest in a specific time. We ran the same path but we’re each on our own quest. We reached our goals separately as individuals but we run together.

Beware of Hidden Treasures Buried in Your Yard
AT THE K I W I TE NNI S CLUB INDIAN HARBOUR BEACH OPEN TO
THE PUBLIC
By Nataleigh Palmer
A few years ago, I rented a house and dug up a flower bed. About six inches of dirt in, I discovered the “decedent”. I was nervous when I discovered the brunette. I was grateful when I realized it was only a dead squirrel and not a toupee with a person attached. All homes have a history and their previous owners sometimes fall behind in their yardwork. Floridian yards can blossom into tropical rainforests faster than you can say “first and last months’ rent.” Buried organic and inorganic underground packages can cause unforeseen consequences. Plants can fail to root if blocked by underground impediments. Grass can fail to thrive where, for example, socks have been buried. I once found dozens of men’s tube socks buried randomly in flowerbeds and bare spots in the yard. I don’t know if a busy dog buried them like soup bones or if my home was once a soccer field. Gloves should always be worn since we never know what’s buried below.
Spear of Denial Our tree-filled backyard once sported an unexpected
surprise. We were getting ready for company when my husband decided he’d dig up a troublesome root that we’d both been avoiding for months. We were surprised to discover it was actually a rusty, sharp, wroughtiron plant trellis. We removed it before anyone was hurt.
A Colorful Mystery A friend of mine had the greenest of thumbs and the healthiest azaleas on the block until the third year. Suddenly her hedge of Formosa azaleas had two plants in rapid decline. The bushes dropped their leaves and shrank overnight. Her husband was convinced an unseen insect or disease affected the bushes and would spread to the others. He pulled up the shrubs only to discover paint buckets attached to the roots. Someone years ago lost track of the paint and “time capsuled” it in five feet of dirt. My friend wasn’t sure if the roots broke through the can or if
the rusty buckets gave out. They luckily solved the mystery and prevented further contamination in their yard.
Indiana Jones and the Ankle Breakers of Doom Stepping stones are cute and can add whimsy to a yard. Over the years though rainstorms and plant growth can camouflage and bury stones under your yard and transform them into ankle twisters. Seldom traveled areas can swallow these cement “tripwires” fairly quickly. Pavers under eight inches of dirt makes the soil ripple when you walk over them. Treading on them feels like stumbling on a semi-deflated pool raft. We excavated our yard in sections and felt like archaeologists on a dig. Each stone crumbed under the pressure. We ended up removing several weekends worth of rubble. How can you solve your yard mysteries? Before you dig call 811. 811 connects you with your local utilities to ensure you’re not digging up telephone or cable lines. The local utilities will send a workman to identify and mark your telephone, cable, sewer and electrical lines. After you confirm it’s safe to dig, contact your local Master Gardeners for soil test instructions. Your local County Extension Office can provide resources to transform your yard from “Temple of Doom” to garden oasis.
Do you know a yard or gardener that you want spotlighted for the next issue? Tell me about it. Staff@TheBeachsideResident.com

Christmas Creep By Nataleigh Palmer
Time again for crowded malls and deck the halls. If Christmas has snuck up again like the Grinch down your chimney, there’s still hope. Christmas budgets might be as appealing as low fat sugar-free cookies but don’t leave them off the menu. Charging Christmas is one holiday tradition to consider skipping this year. Here are a few money saving
ideas to review between Amazon spam and Christmas Ham.
Divide and Conquer If adults are on your shopping list, time to revise. Too Grinchy? Hardly. Consider that many people on your list wouldn’t mind crossing you off theirs. A slightly awkward conversation with your sister now saves you both time scouring the mall later. If you feel like you’re the only one struggling with a budget remember you’re not alone. Garrison Keillor once said, “The lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”
Shop Smart It’s easy to find the perfect gift for yourself while shopping for others. Write down that perfect gift and wait a few months. It might already be in
a loved one’s cart and destined to be nestled under your tree. List in hand and budget in mind, avoid a budget bender. Decide a specific dollar amount you’ll spend on each person and stick to it. Your future self will thank you.
Gift of Yourself There are many low-cost options that are priceless and heartfelt. Framed photos are thoughtful. Pictures from Facebook or taken throughout the year can be printed and added to inexpensive frames. Printer out of ink or Photobucket run dry? Consider reframing old pictures or keepsakes such as concert tickets. Or offer a
holiday cleanup. Helping a friend or family member get their home “company ready” inside or out is a precious gift. Babysitting duties serve a similar function and promotes a holiday that everyone can enjoy. Cultivating plants from cuttings or seedlings is another present that shows you’re not just a talented gardener but a trusted resource. Home-baked
cookies, jams or cakes are sweet nothings that everyone can enjoy. The gift of experiences–a picnic at the beach, volunteering together, or going to a free event can be better than something scanned with a barcode. Black Friday isn’t the reason for the season, no matter how cute they make the commercials. When the pressure of holiday shopping frazzles or the perfect gift feels out of reach remember the words of a wise man named Dr. Seuss. “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”

Famous Pup Promises Kisses for Forever Family by Rachel Wick of the Friends for Animals Sanctuary FriendsForAnimalsFL.org
Our sweet Sadie Girl is an adorable boxer like no other! Sadie is an FFAS Superstar and fan favorite with her loving personality and her trademark “Sadie Kisses.” For those who don’t know Sadie, her kisses are well known and loved. This love bug is very sneaky, because one minute your face is dry, and the next thing you know Sadie has you covered in kisses with her famous “ninja tongue.” She loves people of any age, and isn’t afraid to show it. But she also is a well-behaved dog who listens to commands, and really wants to please her person. At seven years young, Sadie is at long last in a nurturing foster home. She stayed at The Dog Spot Hotel in Melbourne for nearly three years. The folks at Dog Spot were wonderful to Sadie, but it’s not the same as her living in a home. Being in a foster home is a great step in Sadie’s quest for a forever home. A home environment has allowed Sadie to settle into good habits and a stable routine. She is able to have more freedom to explore, play and be a normal dog. Sadie has developed a great partnership with her foster mom Patty, and they have even had a wonderful adventure at the beach. Sadie has a great energy level, and seems much younger than her seven years. Sadie is currently roommates with a cat, and her forever home can have furry feline friends. She can sometimes be female dog selective, but it may just take time to see if personalities mesh. This pretty girl likes kids, is crate trained, and would do great with a family with a yard and older children.

CAPRICORN Jupiter is in the ninth house and now the north node in the ninth house. Be careful what you wish for because thoughts become things. For some of you this will be a time for lessons and for others a time of prosperity.
AQUARIUS This is a very social energy for you, with plenty of fun get togethers and adventures. Also all eyes are on you for better or for worse. Sun in your tenth makes you that go-to person at your job or even at home. Expect lots to do this month, it’s never a dull moment.

Surfer Joe’s Tropical Italian Ice By Nataleigh Palmer
Surfer Joe’s Tropical Italian Ice is a mysterious dessert destination not to be missed. The first mystery is easy to solve. Yes, there is a Surfer Joe. He’s often found behind the counter at the new Surfer Joe ‘s Tropical Italian Ice in Cocoa Beach. Joe Flandreau is a Massachusetts native who graduated from Cocoa Beach High School and the University of Central Florida. “My Mom came up with the recipes in freezing cold Massachusetts. If you can sell gelati up there, we figured we had proof of concept. We decided that Cocoa B e a c h needed t h e s e flavors.” T h e g r e a t cook Julia Child once said, “You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces-just good food from fresh ingredients.” Surfer Joe’s is committed to that philosophy. Everything is made fresh to order. Lemon gelati has pure fresh lemon. Pina Colada has real coconut milk. Mango Italian ice is made from mango pulp. Pumpkin has real pureed pumpkin. Raspberry, strawberry, and cherry Italian ice are all made fresh from real fruit. New customers often puzzle over the difference between Italian Ice, shaved ice and gelati. Joe explained the difference. “We mix our

own recipe for Italian ice in a machine and super freeze it. The machine mixes everything equally and creates a smooth consistency. Shaved ice has favor added on top. Gelati is Italian ice interspersed with layers of soft serve ice cream. Since everything is made here we need no preservatives.” With 20 Italian Ices in rotation and two flavors of ice cream (chocolate and vanilla), there are as many flavor combinations as your imagination allows. T h e i r Coconut Italian Ice m i x e d with soft s e r v e , tastes like a frozen Mounds bar. The Key Lime Italian Ice when coupled with vanilla ice cream taste like a light frozen key lime pie. The Strawberry Italian Ice with vanilla resembles strawberry shortcake. The orange with vanilla echoes the flavors of a creamsicle. “We use fresh ingredients and layer different ices. There’s a woman who regularly orders two different flavors. The lemon and blue raspberry layers give it a different, distinct flavor combination she loves.” The cool tropical-beachy atmosphere is kid

and tech friendly. Picnic tables line the room with cozy Adirondack chairs that encourage you to relax. Their Wi-Fi hotspot makes the hangout convenient for students or writers who want to beat the heat. “We have free WiFi and could become a writer’s haven. We’d love it if kids came in after school and did their homework.” Kids can get their photo added to Joe’s Wall of Fame via a Polaroid camera. They also have a giant Jenga puzzle and a Surfer Joe’s corn hole game. They have the perfect place for birthday parties, and a cart available for special events. They also have hot dogs, soft pretzels and nachos for lunch options as well. Surfer Joe works hard but he does squeeze in time to surf w and again. “We’re closed Monday and Tuesday. I went surfing a couple of weeks ago. I lived in Cocoa Beach for years and still love the beach.” The final mystery Joe hopes you can solve. “We have this classic board hanging up that
we’d love to know more about. It’s a Matt Kechele board. One of his first shaped fiberglass boards. The fins are glassed in. It’s an old classic. I’d love to know how old it is and more about it. My mom’s neighbor had it in their backyard, kind of forgotten. It might be a collectible. I’d love to know its origin. It’s a strange shape. The tail is like a nose. It’s a piece of history regardless.”

Neil Levine
Executive Director of the Brevard Cultural Alliance By Nataleigh Palmer : Photography by Casey DeCotis Brevard’s arts and culture’s economic engine is purring. Neil Levine has the numbers to prove it. Levine is a former music executive turned nonprofit champion. He’s also an arts and cultural maverick who helped the BCA clarify their focus and innovation. Neil Levine is Executive Director of the Brevard Cultural Alliance. BCA is an organization representing the art and culture sector of the Space Coast. He’s a former 80s British music maker who helped launch a cultural revitalization in economically depressed 90s Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow struggled for a new economic identity. Levine became Glasgow’s Head of Programs. His job was business and art programming. “We used arts and culture as an economic lever for regeneration and we increased tourist trips from the residents of the UK by 88 percent and overseas tourist trips by 25 percent.” Glasgow evolved into one of the top ten tourist destinations in the UK.

Clarity of Focus A tenant of Levine’s four years of leadership at BCA is keep it simple. Levine credits the agency’s success to the development of three strategic priorities. These priorities are the lens through which every project is analyzed. Each project must fulfill these three strategic goals to gain support from BCA. Projects must empower through education, develop cultural destination and build sector sustainability.
Empowering through Education “Arts and culture programs engage students and encourages them to stay in school. Overall, it makes school more enjoyable. It’s relatively easy to work with curriculum to align our priorities with schools. Art and technology go hand in hand.” Programs such as Artist in Residence provide highly skilled artists to classrooms to instruct students in cutting edge technology. These artists utilize tools in the public
domain such as Google SketchUp to explore their studies and express their creativity. BCA has also partnered with at-risk youth organizations to provide healthy outlets for self-expression. One of their most successful programs was born out of frustration. “I was shocked by the negative things captured on cell phones. There was a news story that really troubled me. I wondered if we could we could create a program to empower young people to have a voice.” The “Tell Your Story” project is a collaboration between students and accomplished filmmakers to create short films using cell phones. The project was supported through grants from the National Endowment of
the Arts and Boeing Corporation. High School students created short documentaries and learned all levels of film production. The documentaries premiered at the Art & Algorithms Digital Art Festival in October in Titusville. “Art is not just entertainment. It should provoke debate, mirror society and make us think about our lives.”

DOWNTOWN
Cocoa Beach Art Show November 27th, 28th & 29th Downtown Cocoa Beach
Statement Provided by Steve Romano, CBAS President The Cocoa Beach Art Show is meant to keep fun and art together downtown. This show is for everyone to benefit. There will be close to 120 artists representing over a dozen types of art. We also make it a point to promote the local restaurants and bars. We want the V.F.W. selling beer and The Tiny Turtle selling food. Not to mention the Cocoa Beach Fire Department will be cooking their famous chili! Our goal was to bring fun back to the art show, so we brought back the reunion street party and lots of music. Both the tourists and the locals can mix together and have a great time at the CBAS. It’s awesome to see the Cocoa Beach High School grads that haven’t seen each other in
years get together downtown. We have a super fun set up for kids, so they can participate in the art and have a memorable time. The music and the food will be amazing, and there’s just a great energy throughout the whole weekend. The artists are from all over, but the majority of them are from Florida. You have to remember this downtown had an art show for over fifty years, so many of the artists didn’t want to relocate. Believe me, this is a juried art show. The talent is astounding. We set the bar high! There is something for everyone at the CBAS, and all budgets will be able to find something. Last year, our artists were very pleased with their sales and the support that the town gave them. The art is truly spectacular, but when you throw in our weather, our location directly next to the beach, the wonderful restaurants and bars, and the beautiful people of the “Greatest Little City on Earth” you really can’t lose!

November 21st & 22nd, 2015 Historic Downtown Eau Gallie Statement Provided by Sharon Dwyer, ArtWorks Committee Member
November is undoubtedly the most artfilled month for Brevard County. A bevy of art shows established anywhere from two to over fifty years ago bring some of the most talented artists from all over the Space Coast as well as from across the nation. Here are overviews about four of the biggest shows going on this month: the Cocoa Beach Art Show, ArtWorks of Eau Gallie, the Melbourne Fall Art Festival and the Space Coast Art Festival. Try to make it to all four!
ArtWorks is about education. Link Johnsten, ArtWorks founder, said that the purpose of the Festival is to educate people on what artists do and how art comes together. He thought that this was a very interesting way to explain art to the public. Each of the artists in the show will be displaying their original art and they will also be creating new works of art in their booths. ArtWorks is held along Highland Avenue, north of Eau Gallie Blvd., in the Eau Gallie Arts District. The Art Outpost will provide fun, free, dynamic activities for children of all ages. Clay activities are always a hit. Kids get to create a hand-made vessel on the potter’s wheel or create a fun trinket using hand-building techniques. There will be free
admission to the Foosaner Art Museum during ArtWorks. There will be musical entertainment in Eau Gallie Square on Saturday and Sunday. The bands that will be performing are Karalyn and Dawn Patrol, the Matt Sams Band, The Quarter Bones, and Yahtu. Local food vendors Beachside Grill & Deli, Cosmic Cafe, Country Kettler’s Korn, Skewers Mediterranean Grill, and Southern Smokehouse BBQ will also be in Eau Gallie Square. Most of the artists are from Brevard County. Approximately 30% of the artists are from outside of the County, including some from out of state. There will be over 80 vendors who were selected to be in the show, which is purposely kept small. There will be a variety of media that will be displayed and demonstrated including clay, digital art, drawing & pastel, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture, watercolor, and wood. Student artists from high schools in Brevard will also be participating in ArtWorks. Like the professional artists, these emerging artists will be displaying and creating works of art.

Statement Provided by Trish Barker, SCAF Publicist
The mission of the Space Coast Art Festival is to hold an annual, juried fine art festival on the Space Coast. Our goal is to enhance accessibility and diversity in the arts for citizens and visitors of all ages. To that end, we attract renowned judges and talented artists working in a variety of media and also present a student art area that includes hands-on activities and a Student Art Show for grades K through 12. The Space Coast Art Festival is two days of family-friendly fun, held in front of the Exploration Tower at dynamic Port Canaveral. The event features two days of live entertainment on the main stage, a food truck bazaar, children’s activities and much more. Space Coast Art Festival is a fine art show with artists who come from all over the United States as well as the Space Coast. Our artists are displaying works in a wide variety of genres. While I’m not able to ballpark pricing at the show, I can tell you that our artists report excellent sales each year! The art scene in Brevard as a whole is expanding and becoming more diverse. Our Board sees this as such a positive for Space Coast residents and visitors. More art is always a good thing.

Ray Baldino Baldino Studios By Nataleigh Palmer
Perhaps all great photographers are, at heart, engineers. Builders bending light, space, and shadow to form a story.
Ray Baldino is a former engineer who loves building his business, his family, his reputation and the second floor on his studio. He’s also a generous benefactor who’s donated his talents to the community. Baldino describes his work succinctly. “I specialize in the kind of portraits hung behind a couch or above a mantle.” Baldino’s early career in Engineering revolved around computer programming. He took night classes to become a photographer. In 2004,
Baldino, his wife Maureen and three children moved to Cocoa Beach from Philadelphia. He was happy to leave suburban life, traffic and suits behind. Baldino appreciated his education. “I took some classes early on at Daytona State College with their Continuing Education Program. They have a great art program,” “I started my photography studio at home with a dark room. I took pictures of nieces, nephews, and friends. I edited them and gave them away as gifts.” Baldino’s customer base grew as he continued his education. He earned both the Florida Education Degree and the Florida Degree of Photographic Excellence. He recently earned his Master Photographer Degree with the Professional Photographers of America. He was recently awarded the Platinum Award in the International Photography Collection and will featured in the International Loan Collection. “I worked on weekends and took a week here and there to gain merits for my degrees. Submitting pieces to your peers gets you sharper.” “I love the work of Richard Avedon (a vibrant portrait artist who worked for Vogue and Life magazine). I also like Annie Leibovitz. I appreciate their skills. I could list a long list of friends and professionals to include. There’s just so much talent out there.” Baldino’s studio films several weddings a year. The prep work is key. “Weddings are pretty easy... I use light to sculpture first then photograph. I spend more time upfront creating the right look to avoid Photoshop later.” His talented daughter Mary serves as videographer and back-up photographer. Mary explained, “He takes 95% of the pictures. I sometimes go with him to cover a wedding or do video. We’ve done 12 weddings in the last six months. He takes all the classic shots and fun moments. One of my favorite wedding only had six people. The family celebrated and I spent the whole day with them. I felt like part of the family.” Portraits are Baldino’s trademark. One of his favorite things to photograph are people with their cars. “I must have a thousand pictures of cars and their owners. I’ve photographed Porsche’s calendar continues on page 38

Since then he has been recognized for his ability to bring authentic Italian preparations, fine fresh ingredients and skillfully crafted dishes to discerning diners here in the US. The Chef and LeeAnn put together a tasting menu which included both seasonal and all time favorites. Every element on every plate was made from scratch, from the bread in the basket to the biscotti that come out with the coffee, and everything was flawless. So first, that bread. Thick slices of warm baguette had a chewy crust and a moist and flavorful crumb. It came out with ‘Budino’- a smooth puddle of parmesan and mascarpone topped with a sparkle of balsamic reduction and candied pecan crumbs. Salty, sweet, and crunchy came together in every wonderful bite.

The appetizer was cold-smoked Scottish salmon, thinly sliced over a cool fresh horseradish cream. The fish was topped with a warm (precisely 70°) poached egg. The golden yolk oozed over the buttery salmon and complemented the subtle applewood smoke the chef uses. The wine was a medium bodied Italian white called “Vietti Roero Arneis” which complemented the buttery richness of the dish. Next was a roasted beet salad topped with a warm crumbed cake of herbed goat cheese. The tender petals of beet were sweet and earthy, complemented by the tart cheese and the crunchy spinach base. The stack was accented by an intense orange reduction, the house balsamic vinaigrette and a crisp candied orange slice. The plate covered all the flavor bases and it is no surprise that this salad is one item that the can never be taken off the menu. The Materra Sauvignon Blanc that came with the salad course had a discernable orange element to its natural citrus profile- perfect.
The Mango Tree Restaurant has been a local favorite since 1985. Owners since late 2011, Chef Luca Filadi mans the kitchen and Mrs. LeeAnn Filadi hosts in the dining room. They’ve continued the tradition of fine dining in the charming bar and dining areas of this wonderful 70-year-old house.
The entrée was veal scaloppini, presented with a porcini mushroom pan sauce and sour cream mashed potato. The veal slices were moist and juicy, and the sauce was meaty with the seasonal mushrooms but not too rich with cream. The pureed potatoes included enough sour cream to accent, and parsley to complement the rich sauce. The paired wine, Finca Cabernet Sauvignon from
time we will try one of the house-made gelatos. The final wine was a lightly sparkling Banfi ‘Rosa Rigale”, a festive choice to go with the varied dessert flavors. The Mango Tree’s talented kitchen staff combine traditional classical techniques, perfectly executed, with modern twists. The service is polished without being stuffy and the experience is worth every penny. The Filadi’s have put their heart and soul into this restaurant and it shows.
Come try the new menu items or savor the seasoned favorites at The Mango Tree, located at 118 N Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach. Call (321) 799-2600 for reservations.
Argentina, had the tannins and body to complement but not overpower the flavors on the plate. LeeAnn spoke about their new ‘mini’ dessert concept, smaller options with attractive pricing. Our mascarpone and ricotta mousse was not too sweet, topped with a fragrant strawberry puree. No factory fillers here, just pure fruit intensity. A classic tiramisu included sweet cheese, bitter cocoa powder, and a boozy lady finger for that adult jolt- one spoon was enough. Last was an unusual dessert combination of lemon curd topped with almond crumble and orange ginger compote- uniquely Luca and utterly delicious. Next

Joe: Capt and Miller Lite...Wait, what? Blaine: Tito’s. It’s good for you, right? Which celebrity, living or dead, would you most like to serve in your bar? Blaine: My Grandpa and Grandma. I never had a chance to meet them and get to know them. I’d love to serve them a drink and chat about life.
Rusty’s has arguably one of the best happy hours in town. Throw in amazing oysters, an idyllic Tiki Bar and two of the funnest bartenders on the Space Coast and you have a combination that can’t be beat. Where do you live now? Blaine: ‘Naveral Joe: Satellite Beach What do you love most about living/working beachside? Blaine: The daily atmosphere and the feel of working outdoors on the water… You can’t beat the views here at Rusty’s and the Tiki Bar. It’s nice to have this kind of “office”. Hard to beat.

Just take it easy and relax, let it go and leave that crab at the door before you get to this bar. We just smile and make the rudeness a positive. What’s the strangest thing you’ve witnessed from behind the bar? Both: This dude running from the popo. This guy jumped over our deck railing and swan dove into the harbor. He didn’t get too far. C’mon man.

Funpipe by Kelsie Sandage
Funpipe is a hard rock band that calls Rockledge its home. They’re a high energy band that loves interacting with their crowds. Members Paul Bender (Vocals/Guitar), Mark Kaleiwahea (Vocals/Guitar), John Wilson (Bass/Vocals), and Jesse Moore (Drums/ vocals) grew up listening to hard rock, and their love for the genre shows in the passion
Paul Bender gave us an inside scoop on Funpipe. Where did the name of the band come from? “We are probably the most smart ass bunch of guys. We threw some names out, all of them silly, and ended up with Funpipe. It’s actually shortened from our original idea.” When did the band start playing together? What brought the band together? “About six years ago with members from an eighties band called Stiletto.” How do you build your set list? Does it depend on the town more, or the venue? Requests? “We vary our set list a bit at different venues for danceability and whatnot but try to stay within the hard rock genre. We take requests sometimes if we know a song. We may attempt it even if we don’t!” What is your favorite thing about playing on the Space Coast? “The Space Coast has great atmosphere, great venues and most of all there are awesome people that support the local music scene.” What got you into playing music?
they display when they perform. Funpipe gets to rock out on a regular basis to their favorite band’s songs. Their headbanging rendition of Quiet Riot’s “Metal Health” is unforgettable. The drums set a great backbone that the bass strengthens for the vocals and lead guitar to play overtop. They blend every wavelength with energy and transmitted it everyone there to dance and party. They like to have fun; it is a part of their name after all. Their cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain” is a gentle rolling wave of metal that pulls you in and leaves you wanting more. Funpipe makes the party happen, and gives their listeners a flashback to rock and roll from the 70s through 90s.
“For me, the love of music in general..I wanted to be part of it. There is nothing like it.” Have yet to experience Funpipe? No worries! They play monthly at Coconuts on Cocoa Beach and they also have regular gigs at Siggy’s All American Bar in Melbourne, L o u ’ s Blues in Indialantic, and m a n y o t h e r places up and down the Space Coast. In October they performed in Daytona during the Biketoberfest activities. After you’ve had your fill of turkey, all the fixings, and are looking for somewhere fun to take your extended family during Thanksgiving weekend, join the celebration of the 2nd annual Cocoa Beach Art Show in Downtown Cocoa Beach. Funpipe will be performing, so you will be dancing in the street as you soak in all the local art that will be on display. No matter what, I can guarantee a fun time for all ages.
To keep up with Funpipe and see where they will be playing soon, connect with them on their Facebook.

Album Reviews by M.A. Rivera
his song “This Wheel’s on Fire,” and The Byrds spry rendition of “You Ain’t Going Nowhere.” For some this collection will be a great introduction to a fascinating period in music history. For others it may well prove to be too narrow a retrospective. It also coincides with an exhibit currently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame, available in CD format for those who can’t find time to visit.
Fable Cry
Dylan, Cash and the Nashville Cats A New Music City Legacy / CMF; 2015
Nothing succeeds like success. And imitation is the highest form of flattery. Both of these cliches are tantamount to understanding everything which follows. In 1966 Bob Dylan went to Nashville to try something different. After enlisting some of the considerable local talent he produced the seminal “Blonde on Blonde” album. The critical and commercial acclaim which followed “Blonde on Blonde” forced many other rock and folk acts to look to Music City with a newfound appreciation. This collection chronicles 36 songs from artists as varied as Simon & Garfunkel to Neil Young to Leonard Cohen, as well as three post break-up Beatles. So who are the Nashville Cats? Collectively dubbed “The Lovin’ Spoonful”, this core group of session players consisted of people like Norbert Putnam, Pig Robbins, Kenny Buttrey, and Buddy Spicher. They helped blur the lines between country and rock, and could get just as funky and lowdown as any Detroit or NYC house band. Dylan and Cash prove to be a formidable presence here with six songs on the two discs, including their duet on the traditional tune “Girl of the North Country.” And Dylan is able to cast an even longer shadow with folk duo Ian & Sylvia serving up

We’ll Show You Where the Monsters Are Independent Release, 2015
What happens when you’ve read through every Harry Potter novel and you’ve spent too much time indulging in some serious cosplay? Start a band heavy on theatricality and transfer your obsessions into performance. Nashville, Tennessee’s Fable Cry are self described as Theater-Scamp-Rock and write
the sort of music which would make them welcome at steampunk gatherings. While it can be jarring at first for just how out of left field their music is, the band themselves understand villains are almost always more compelling. This said, Fable Cry attacks the songs with aplomb and deliver suitably over-the-top performances. “Fancy Dancing” is an ominous song about seer’s vision and what lies ahead. Careful what you ask. “Set Me Loose” is a gypsy campfire number with an airy delivery that’s breezy and loose. “Onion Grin” re-tells Little Red Riding Hood’s story from the wolf ’s perspective. “You Ain’t My Baby No More” could be a blues number or delivered as a 70’s boogie, but here it’s a show-styled tune driven by percussionist Rachel Gerlach. It’s hard not to visualize a stage performance in a cabaret, or intimate theater.
Musically, Joshua Dent on cello and violinist Jo Cleary offer the most emotion and expression to these numbers. Zach Ferrin’s vocal delivery and grooming appear to to be inspired by Snidely Whiplash. And yeah, he sells it. These players all set up to support the songs, and grandstanding is kept to a minimum. Overblown and playing to the back row, Fable Cry are in this with something to prove. This is a show band without an obvious storyline. Each song a self-contained story detailing betrayal and life’s curious agonies. Try this on if you’re sick of typical love songs.
Rubikon Delta
Round Hill Records, 2015
Boston is a great town for music, with a long pedigree of solid rock acts who call it home. Smart, cultured, and dirty enough to still rock properly, this is the sort of town that develops a band like Rubikon. Opening track “Live That Lie,” kicks off the disc with the gritty declaration “Well I’ve been knocked down and kicked, and lied to.” Agitated and impassioned, they stomp and squall with a determined retro sound. Through nine more numbers that feel like the best bits of 1974’s hard rock hit parade. With elements of all the heavy hitting bands, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Purple, what stands out on several tracks is the jazzy organ touches in between the swampy slide guitar licks. “Through the Looking Glass” is the band’s weird little left turn. The song is a solid mimicking of Steely Dan, and it’s pure honey. With a deep groove, restrained playing and unhurried pace, the song shows considerable and unexpected depth. “Pretty, Pretty” is the most up to date track in the deep sleazy vein of stoner metal. Everything about it is huge and over the top. Distorted and driven, you may find yourself seriously considering trading in your Prius for a muscle car after repeated listenings.

Jedi Grind Tricks
Pumpkin Protests, Turkey Jams and Fiji Flyaways By Scooter Newell • sk8scooter@gmail.com www.cocoabeachskatepark.com
Ahh, the nice fall weather is starting to kick in and the holiday season is just around the corner, which reminds me of a funny story. Pumpkin anything is awful. I was in the store the other day and the guy in front of me started to tell us: “Pumpkin is the lowest form of vegetable on earth. I am sick of everyone pretending that it is so tasty. It’s awful to eat raw (or cooked) and pumpkin pie is also the bottom of the barrel when it comes to pie. It has no taste and its nasty sludge-like texture must be masked by 4 to 5 dollops of whipped cream or else you can actually detect what slime you are eating. It is the only pie where you actually are happy to get a huge bite of bare crust. And when people say ‘Oh, but I looove pumpkin seeds.’ Really? You like to bake a tray of tasteless seeds at 400 degrees for 45 minutes just to dump a pound of salt on them so it doesn’t taste like chewing on cardboard? But big props to the pumpkin marketing crew for making people believe in pumpkins. I don’t believe in pumpkin hype.” He said he didn’t believe in pumpkin hype. I loved that. I like blueberry pie myself.
And now that I think about it, there is no real blueberry hype. Coming up at the skate park we have the first installment of our Skate To School Scholarship Series. This is a contest for skateboarders in 9th-12th grade. Format will be individual runs in the entire bowl- flow course and pool section. That will be on Saturday, November 21st at 11am. The Turkey Jam Doubles Contest will be on Black Friday, November 27th. Skaters pair up with a partner and skate a run at the same time while trying to be creative with crossing each other, following each other and staying on! Big sale in the skate shop 9am-9pm. Joaquin is gone but how about winning a trip to FIJI? We’ve got your flights, 4-star hotel, and transportation covered. As for your surf lessons, we thought we’d leave that part up to world class surfers Kelly Slater and Shane

Dorian. Don’t have a board? Borrow one of theirs! And when you’re ready to bring it in (and you may never be), just know that there’s plenty more waiting for you on the shore, like white sand beaches, golfing, fishing, and plenty of delicious food and drinks. Just don’t forget to gather the guys for a sunset selfie or two... or three. Don’t forget to bring your skateboard even though it may not get used! When you donate to go surfing with Shane and Kelly you’re supporting not one, but four incredible causes. The More Than Sport Foundation harnesses the power of the athletic community to transform communities in need, and will be facilitating local youth development and safe skating facilities in Hawaii. The Skate to School Scholarship Fund (Started by Cocoa Beach skateboarder, Scooter Newell!) provides college scholarships to top youth skaters in local competitions. SurfAid saves lives one remote village at a time in surf communities. Lastly, Smile Train prepares doctors in developing countries to conduct cleft palate surgeries in their communities. Not bad for one donation.

Big thanks to Kelly and Shane for getting in touch with us and including our vision in this amazing project. Good luck to all who enter! Enter at Omaze.com/fiji On a different note, it has been a sad month in skateboarding. Our hearts are heavy. Rest in peace to skateboarding icon, Gerry “SkateMaster Tate” Hurtado. Skatemaster Tate was featured in magazines and videos and in many facets of the California skate scene. He became the host of MTV’s SK8 TV which was most likely the beginning of mainstream audience’s first glance through the window of skateboard culture in the late 80’s and early 90’s. He did more than we can document here, but his name will be etched in skateboard history forever, We would like to take a moment of silence for our good friend, Michael Wolfe of Palm Bay, Florida who passed away last month. Michael was fixing a trailer on the side of a road when another vehicle struck the trailer and caused fatal injuries. Michael was a well known skater in our central Florida area. He was part of the legendary Graffiti Skate Zone team and known for his “keep on trying” attitude. He worked at the skate park in Cocoa Beach for us in the ‘07’08 time frame and he was a die-hard team rider for Graffiti. Last year he took off a week of work and volunteered his time to rebuilding the ramp for a contest that Graffiti Skate Zone has each year in October called the Monster Madness Mini Ramp Jam. Well, this year there is more work to be done in Palm Bay and

Florida Surf Museum
Gracias, Joaquin. by Dan Reiter
For two weeks in October, Hurricane Joaquin gifted us with chest to overhead glass. Never mind that none of us got any work done. The waves were classic, and we don’t regret a thing. Here’s to the only major storm of the year that panned out. Let’s hope for some more of the good stuff in November. Here’s what’s up with the Florida Surf Museum:

Joaquin’s Silver Lining
Fishing Reports
By Capt. Scott Bussen of the Relentless II www.fishrelentless.com
This is one of those months that I’m not really sure what to write about. As I start to write this, there have been very few fishable days so far in October. A hurricane put us out of business for a couple weeks and a nor’easter got us for near a week. Even when the ocean was fishable, the water was dirty out to three hundred feet. Hopefully, November will bring a stretch of good weather and favorable water conditions. If there was a silver lining on the hurricane cloud, it was the fishing inshore around the mullet run. Some days may have been a bit rough, but there were still fishable areas where the action was red hot. And when it did calm down a bit, the surf came alive with both predator and prey. Sharks, tarpon, snook, redfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, jacks, mangrove snapper and flounder were all involved in the foray. Some of the best areas were around structure where the bait could congregate and subsequently get cornered and ambushed. Provided the mullet run continues into November,
34
thebeachsideresident.com
this action could continue well into the month. As long as the mullet are migrating, the predators will follow. The best bait will be the ones you catch on scene. But, if you prefer artificials, use something closely resembling the size of the bait that’s running. On the offshore side of things, we may need to keep our fingers crossed. The ocean needs to calm down for a couple days so the water can clean up a bit. If conditions do improve, November could bring some darn good action. With the fall weather patterns starting, it could prompt the offshore action to spark a bit. Usually, sometime in November the kingfish will make an appearance. When they do show up, there’s typically good numbers of them. With the kings, there should be the possibility of cobia, sailfish, blackfin tuna or maybe a wahoo. If there’s some
N O V E M B E R 2015
pogies or threadfins around, they’ll make great live bait. If there’s no live bait around, frozen sardines will work just fine fished behind dusters. Banking on the better water conditions, the trolling could be on the upswing too. There were a few mahi around last month and I’d expect to see some this month with the right conditions. With the dolphin, there could be a few early sails, a few wahoo and the possibility of a blackfin tuna. Ballyhoo and ballyhoo/lure combos should do the trick, but strip baits may do the trick also. November might be a little early for the grouper to start, but stranger things have happened. It’s been a few years, but I have seen numbers of grouper showing up before Thanksgiving. I’m not going to say anything else about it, I’m just going to keep my fingers crossed. Either way, you better get out there and make the most of the calm days. There’s going to be fewer and fewer in a row or the foreseeable future. See ya on the pond.
The Running of the Bull (Redfish) By Capt. Jamie Glasner www.finandflycharters.com
The past month was insane for the bull redfish. We caught multiple fish in the 40” and over range. We should still see the same for this month also Target the schools of mullet, that’s where you will find your redfish. Also in the pogy bait pods along the beach, they’re full of big redfish and tarpon right now. Top water lures have been a lot of fun super early in the morning, nothing beats a redfish bite on top water. Jerk baits, gold spoons, and jigs will also do the trick on the redfish. Make sure you don’t forget your cut bait also because redfish love an easy free meal! As the water temps start to cool off the trout bite should get a lot better. Make sure you have a mirrodine tied on, those trout can’t resist them. We will start to see a lot of the bigger trout on the flats which are a lot of fun to sight fish because
they’re so spooky, like bonefish. Another awesome lure to use is a white jerk bait with a weighted 1/8oz hook. You can also find large numbers of small trout in creeks and in the residential canals. I’ve been catching a lot of black drum in our river which is pretty cool. You can find them along
mangrove edges where the water gets deeper and also under docks that extend out onto the flats. The best bait to use would be shrimp and
clams, but you can also get them on gulp if they’re feeding well. When the water temps get colder this month you can target big black drum on the bridges at night using blue crab. You may also get some of those monster redfish that hang out there too. I’ve caught black drum from 10-75 pounds there so make sure you beef up your tackle because they will definitely challenge your angling abilities. The snook are still being caught along our beaches using live finger mullet and croakers, but if you can fish along the jetties for some pogies use those because those snook will eat a pogy over any other bait. Artificial lures like bombers will also work at night along the jetties. The best colors to use are red and white along with chartreuse. Well that’s all I have for you guys this month so good luck on the water!

Ocean Friendly Restaurants By Jackie Beatty • www.surfrider.org www.cocoabeach.surfrider.org
The San Diego Chapter has created a campaign to AND AT LEAST THREE reduce the use of plastic and Styrofoam in restaurants. of the following to be chosen by the restaurant:
The Ocean Friendly Restaurants campaign (or OFR) aims to work with the restaurant community to institute self-regulated policies that reduce disposable plastic waste. Restaurants have the power to greatly reduce their impact on our oceans and beaches on many fronts. R e s t a ur a n t s can make a profound difference on our beaches and waterways by reducing use of plastic items in delivery and to-go food service. The Ocean Friendly Restaurant campaign works with local restaurants to reduce the amount of disposable plastic food service items that ultimately wind up as pollution on our beaches and in the ocean. Americans use 500 million drinking straws every day, we toss out enough disposable cups, forks and spoons each year to circle the equator 300 times, and use 50 billion plastic beverage water bottles each year. The Monterey Bay Aquarium estimates that over 1,000,000 sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals die from plastic pollution each year. Plastic also causes health problems for humans due to its toxicity when it touches the food and water we consume. Ocean Friendly Restaurants is a program of Surfrider’s Rise Above Plastics Committee, whose mission is to decrease the impacts of plastics in the marine environment by raising awareness about
the dangers of plastic pollution, advocating for a reduction of single-use plastics, and advocating for the recycling of all plastics. The campaign will focus on an ocean
friendly certification system in which, if a restaurant meets the minimum criteria to be ocean friendly, it will have a Surfrider Ocean Friendly Restaurant sticker in the restaurant, and receive free promotion from Surfrider through social media. To be certified as an OFR the restaurant must meet specific requirements.
MANDATORY 1. No Styrofoam – replacements are recycled, recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable. 2. Only reusable tableware is provided for onsite dining. 3. Proper recycling practices are followed throughout the restaurant.
1. Plastic straws are provided only upon request. 2. Takeout food and beverage containers are recycled, recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable. 3. Takeout bags are not plastic. 4. Takeout bags are provided only upon request, or pickup customers are asked to bring their own takeout bags. 5. Disposable utensils for takeout food are provided only upon request. 6. No beverages sold in plastic bottles. By engaging the restaurant community in a conversation about ocean friendly practices, Surfrider hopes to pave the way for support from the restaurant industry for a ban on Styrofoam containers. Orlando’s No Foam Zone (NoFoamZone. org) is working on banning single-use polystyrene in Orlando. Washington DC, New York City, and San Francisco have already banned all single-use foam/polystyrene products.

Patrick AFB Last of the dozen GPS IIF satellites arrive at CCAFS for processing by 45th Space Wing Public Affairs
The last Air Force GPS IIF in a block of 12 satellites was delivered to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, from Boeing’s manufacturing facility in El Segundo, California Oct. 8 via a C-17 Globemaster III. A crowd from the government and industry partnership, who will complete the satellite’s final assembly, gathered on the Cape’s “Skid Strip” to watch the off-loading of the satellite they will prepare to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance rocket in 2016. “This GPS IIF-12 satellite represents the end of a legacy as it will be the last of the 61 GPS satellites processed here at CCAFS,” said Brig. Gen. Wayne Monteith, 45th Space Wing commander. “This culminates an incredible 27-year legacy at our Area 59 Satellite Processing Facility. We are the Nation’s

premier gateway to space and are humbled to be a part of the team that provides GPS and its capabilities to the world.” Although there have been other models of GPS launched into space, the Airmen-led processing team at Area 59 is particularly proud to begin preparations to send the last IIF block satellite into orbit. They’ve been behind every launch of the series since the first GPS IIF launched here in May 2010. “Our combined team’s objective is 100% mission success-each and every time.” said Col. Eric Krystkowiak, 45th Launch Group commander. “My

Airmen work, in partnership, with Boeing and the System Program Office at the Space and Missile Systems Center throughout the final stages of satellite processing prior to launch. From spacecraft containerization, shipment from California, the arrival at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Landing Strip, final checkouts, fueling and encapsulation, the team is laser focused on identifying and mitigating any issues that could potentially jeopardize mission success.” The Boeing-assembled GPS IIF 12 that arrived at the Cape will undergo a series of prelaunch preparations, checks and rehearsals. These included functional checkout of the spacecraft, compatibility testing, battery installation, fueling, mating to the payload adapter and obtaining a final flight weight. Members of the quality assurance team range from young military officers to career enlisted troops to seasoned civilians. “Mission Assurance at the launch base is executed with our ‘triad’ of professionals,” said Krystkowiak. “Our mission assurance technicians are enlisted personnel with many years of experience in missile maintenance who are fully engaged and observe the contractor’s work with the satellite. They bring their hands-on experience, strict technical compliance and discipline to the satellite processing realm. Beside them are our company grade officers and civilian engineers who

bring their engineering rigor and innovative ideas into the process. Lastly are our Aerospace Corporation partners who provide invaluable experience and legacy system insight to the team with their continuity of satellite processing. Many of these members have been here at the Cape since GPS first launched in 1989 and achieved full operational capability in 1995.” A field program manager for the team interfaces with 45th SW leadership, the Air Force Space and Missile Center and the contracted partners throughout the months in between the satellite’s delivery and its launch. The Evolved Expendable
Launch vehicle is used to launch GPS satellites from CCAFS into nearly 11,000-mile circular orbits. While circling the earth, GPS satellites transmit extremely accurate timing data on multiple L-band frequencies. Design life across the satellite blocks range from 7.5 to 12 years, but many are lasting more than 20 years, with the oldest vehicle turning 25 in November of 2015. The GPS Master Control Station, operated by the 50th Space Wing’s 2nd Space Operations Squadron at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, is responsible for monitoring and controlling the GPS as a 24-satellite system, consisting of six orbital planes,
with a minimum of four satellites per plane. There are currently 39 vehicles in the GPS constellation. GPS satellites serve and protect U.S. warfighters by providing navigational assistance and timing standards for military operations on land, at sea, and in the air. Civilian users around the world also use and depend on GPS for highly accurate time, location, and velocity information.

Selected students were able to walk the red carpet and present their “Tell Your Story” to an audience. “We’re currently working on a Palm Bay festival based on Kinetic Art. Kinetic Art is art that moves. Picture 12 or 15 foot high displays made to twist and move in response to the environment. We spent some time with city leaders to research the community and Brevard’s general perception of Palm Bay. The majority of people polled thought of nature when they thought of Palm Bay. What

Building Sector Sustainability Levine believes that BCA’s role is as a facilitator but is quick to remind that BCA doesn’t host these events. “We can’t simply host these events. If you expect the community to own the event you must research who they are and the perceptions of other communities surrounded them. We provoked debate about the perceptions relative to who they feel they are as a community.” Other programs such as “Art in Public Places” provides a public exhibit for artist to showcase their work. Art is displayed in locations such as the Dixie Crossroads
Restaurant, Melbourne International Airport and the Planetarium. These locations showcase art of the community and provides a platform for the artist. The expansion of art and culture in Brevard has far-reaching economic and educational benefits for all residents. The highlights from the 2015 Economic Contributions of Arts & Culture to the Space Coast include $125 million in sales, $71.3 million added to the GDP and the addition of 1,537 jobs. Brevard is no stranger to the international technological stage. We’re fortunate to be part of the ongoing art and technological renaissance that continues to enrich our community.

The cast is comprised of good actors but the portrayals are muddled- Blackbeard is over the top, Hook is anything but swashbuckling and Tiger Lily is from a tribe comprised of multiple ethnicities.

Left alone with only his intellect and materials, Watley becomes the MacGyver of Mars in order to survive while NASA attempts to bring him home. Damon’s character is a calm and collected botanist, but with the exception of a few hiccups, he doesn’t seem to show any real fear. Being thoroughly optimistic, we get a worry free version of “Cast Away” in space. Moments are dramatized but often it is Watley’s quick wit that garners humor. Like many of his previous films, Scott seeks to depict the film’s plot and everyone involved as realistic as possible, which is refreshing here with most space movies being fearsomely dramatic. The other astronauts are bland but the

Nobody ever listens, making her entire presence pointless and doing more harm than good. Blunt is a talented actress but she is simply wasted here. Too many times we’ve seen films where a morally straight sheep is involved with corrupt wolves.

Inquire of Juliet By Juliet Pomodoro “Aphrodite” Palm Bay Mighty Aphrodite, I believe you may have been born for this er, position! My talents were innate, but my skills have been honed over years of practice. There’s plenty of room along the Space Coast for many mavens of modern love! Come to think of it, I do have some use for a love slave, uh, I mean student. In the words of the great guru Kelis, “I could teach you, but I have to charge.”
Juliet,
Juliet, My man has an antique motorcycle that he treats like his baby. He spends all his time “fixing it up” and polishing it down. I feel like he’s put the brakes on our love life. It’s been so long since he’s revved me up! How do I get his attention? “Ruby” Cocoa Beach My precious Ruby, If he is spending all his quality time with his “other ride”, then you should hit that accelerator! Maybe it’s time you dusted off your old camera and headed out to the garage for an Easy Rider photo shoot of your own. My dear, you want him to associate you with that which gets his
engine runnin’. In no time, you’ll be the one getting polished.
Juliet, I live in a big farm house on a large ranch with nothing but hoof stock and the open sky. A man gets mighty lonely slingin hay by himself day after day, with only a cold bed to return to at night. What would it take for a lady like yourself to join me at my country getaway?
“Pierce” Cocoa Oh, Pierce! The thought of your hard working hands just melts my country butter. But alas, I am not one for the dust and the hay. Maybe you’ll consider a trip to the coast for a nice sandy getaway? Bring your hat. And your saddle.
Juliet, My dream is to spread good vibes and sweet sensations up and down the coast. I want to be a love guru just like you! I have been a dancer and a massage therapist and now I just need to be trained in the art of seduction. Do you give lessons in love?
I am an avid gardener and spend most of my time outside pulling weeds and hoeing. I can see just through the gate separating my yard from the next, and there’s a fellow gardener on the other side. I’m certain he’s single, as he spends all his time in his garden. How do I get him to come over to my side of the fence?
“Abby” Rockledge Dear Abby, dear Abby, heed your own advice! Hop over that fence and get your hoe on together! With so many shared interests, you two could spend some serious time exchanging... Tips. Ask him about his zucchini squash and offer to let him sample your melons. I think you two could foster some serious fertilization!
Juliet,
My husband and I have been together for twenty-eight years next May. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long! The last few years have been a little... slow in the bedroom. How do I put the squeak back into our bedsprings?
“Lana” Melbourne Beach Lovely Lana, I admire a woman who sticks to what she loves. With the holidays quickly approaching, and since you’ve been such a good girl and boy, I think maybe you should ask Santa for some shiny new toys. You need to be able to share, of course. I think your husband will enjoy going from the “nice” list to the “naughty”. N O V E M B E R 2015
