EDITOR’S NOTE Spring has sprung. Many of us think that our little slice of paradise is perfect. Forgetting about the spring of 2016 is easy. It felt so long ago. Last year, thousands of fish died throughout the Space Coast. From Titusville to Melbourne the stench of algae and dead fish slapped us in the face. Fast forward a year, and we’re taking active steps to avoid or minimize the next fish kill. Since the half cent sales tax was approved in November, several projects including the dredging of the lagoons are underway. Resident of the Month Wayne Carragino, is heading a project to help remove muck that fuels many of the algae blooms in the Banana River. This month, we’re featuring a Live music calendar by M.A. Rivera. Bob and Travis Brown, from Brown’s Taxidermy, explain the subtle art of fish fabrication in the Art Side. One of Island Bar and Grill’s favorite bartenders,
Lauren Polignone is Bartender of the Month. Karl Bacon is not your astrologer but read his horoscopes, regardless. D.R. Wolfe bends space-time with the band KONGLOM. Kona, the dog, explains why the water is for everyone and Island Animal Hospital shares cutting edge animal medicine breakthroughs. Shane Burgman has the perfect date night, and Bill Hausmann breaks down the history of Earth Day. I wanted to use this space to remind you that we’re growing. We need talented writers. If you’d like to begin the path towards fame and fortune, let me know nat@thebeachsideresident.com. Classes start soon. Best Regards, Natalie Palmadesso

AND LET KABRAN AIR KEEP YOU COOL... The temporary transformation will include an Eiffel Tower, French food, a cafe and much more. Come eat, drink and be French with us. See the Foosaner Art Museum’s French Film kickoff featuring the movie “The Red Balloon.” The festivities run from 5:30-10pm and the movie starts at 9:15 pm. Everything is free and open to the public, and vendors accept cash or credit. Feel free to walk one block to Pineapple Park and have a picnic by the river too. As this magazine celebrates fishing and all things water, historical records describe Eau Gallie as having a bright future. Eau Gallie’s first permanent settler was John C. Houston in 1859. He was followed by W.H. Gleason in the late 1860s. Gleason renamed the community Eau Gallie after another city the family founded--Eau Claire, WI. They kept Eau, but substituted Claire for a deviation of the French term galet, a loose translation for “rocky water,” (referring to the coquina rock.) Between 1885-1889, the Eau Gallie Yacht Basin was established. It was long considered the best deep-water harbor along Florida’s East Coast. Thus, Eau Gallie (and now Melbourne) became known as the Harbor City. At the turn of the century, James Rossetter built his house to be near the river, with a waterfront hotel and thriving commercial district. He was successful in the fishing industry and was an agent for Standard Oil. He made a lot of his fortune shipping gasoline on his
fishing boat. Eau Gallie’s location along the river, citrus groves, farms, hotel, steamship, and rail transportation all helped Eau Gallie blossom. An inexhaustible supply of fresh and saltwater bass plus its unrivaled location to the ocean made it an attraction. Newspaper accounts from the early 1910s tout the waterfront as ripe for development. That remains true today. The importance of the Indian River Lagoon to Brevard County, and Eau Gallie, can never be understated. The waterfront location is the very reason Eau Gallie is here. The Gleason family deeded the land to the city of Melbourne as long as it contained a library, public park, and playground. Recent entrepreneurs have been drawn to Eau Gallie for some of the same reasons. Its proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and its vibrant, nearby commercial district make it an attractive destination. We have several businesses over 50 years old—Eau Gallie Florist, Fifth Avenue Art Gallery, and Eau Gallie Ace Hardware. They are joined by Intracoastal Brewing Company who will expand into a new Biergarten in the spring. The Historic Rossetter House and Gardens is open for tours as well.
Don’t forget, please come be French and celebrate Eau Gallie on April 7! To learn more about EGAD, please visit www. EauGallieArts.com

Mediterranean Baked Fish
1 whole firm-fleshed fish, about 3 lbs. (Grouper is good for this dish. Gutted, with or without scales.) 1 bunch fresh mint 1 bunch fennel leaves 8 pounds of kosher sea salt or coarse sea salt 1 cup pine needles (optional) 1/4 cup water 1 cup anisette
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil, big enough to hold the whole fish. Spread a thick layer of salt to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the pine needles if you’re using them, and a bit of the mint and fennel. Stuff the fish with the remaining mint and fennel and put on top. Cover the fish with salt completely. Drizzle with water and anisette. Seal the whole dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Break the crust of salt for the guests at the dinner table; you will get lots of “oohs” and “ahs.”
Tuna Steaks with Yogurt Sauce Y

Combine the yogurt, mayo, lime juice, cucumber, and grapes in a small bowl and set aside. Mix the butter and lemon juice together and brush the steaks with it. Grill the tuna about four minutes on each side. Transfer to serving dishes and top with yogurt sauce.

SURFRIDER By Bill Hausmann
Earth Day XLVII: April 22, 2017 “What kind of a country will we leave for our children?”-President Trump, in his first address to Congress.
14
thebeachsideresident.com
The other day while stopped at an endless red light in Orlando, my five-year-old granddaughter in the back seat said, “Look, Grandpa. The clouds are moving.” “Yes,” I said, frustrated. “But we’re not.” “Yes we are!” she exclaimed. “Don’t you know the Earth is always turning, Grandpa?” “Absolutely,” I said, amazed. “Do you know what it’s called when the Earth makes one turn?” “Earth-day,” she answered. “We learned that in school,” she added matter-of-factly. I just got schooled by a kindergartener. She just pointed out that every day is Earth Day. So, why do we set aside only one day each year to celebrate Earth Day? In 1969 at the height of the counterculture movement, Americans were slurping leaded gas in giant V8 vehicles. Big industries belched smoke into the air while Simon and Garfunkel sang “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, after a massive oil spill in California, was inspired by the anti-war activism. He fused that energy with a growing public awareness of pollution to force environmental issues onto the national agenda. April 22 was selected because it fell between Spring Break and Final Exams. The first “national teach-in on the environment,” aka, Earth Day was April 22, 1970. Forty-seven Earth-years later, what have we accomplished? Here are a few examples. President Lyndon Johnson established the National Environmental Policy Act in 1970. It’s often referred to as the “Environmental Magna Carta” for its impact. It became an international model and established the United States as a leader in the environmental movement. President Nixon signed an Executive Order establishing the EPA. DDT was banned by the EPA in 1972 after it was discovered to cause declining bird populations. In Florida, both osprey and brown pelicans came back from the brink of extinction. Bald eagles began to flourish. DDT in nursing mothers’ milk slowly disappeared. Most developed nations soon followed our lead. Also in 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act resulted in several whale species A P R I L 2 0 17
beginning a slow recovery. The Endangered Species Act passed in 1973. The Clean Water Act of 1974 set standards for quality drinking water for all U.S. water systems. Also, in ’74 the EPA began the phase out of lead in gasoline, resulting in a 75% drop in lead levels in average Americans. The Toxic Substance Control Act was passed in 1976, resulting in the ban of cancer causing PCBs. Under the leadership of the U.S., industrialized nations regulated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) when it was linked to thinning the ozone layer. Today the holes in the poles’ ozone layers are healing. A shift in U.S. leadership was evident when the Senate voted not to support the Kyoto Protocol of 1997. The Kyoto Protocol was an international effort to address global warming. However, in 2006, the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” helped refocus public awareness on climate change. President Bush created the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in 2009. The monument expanded to 1.3 million square miles, three times the size of California by President Obama in 2012. The Department of the Interior in 2010 banned oil and gas drilling off the Atlantic Coast until 2017. The Paris Climate Change Conference in 2015, brought 175 world leaders including the U.S together. They agreed to a new coordinated plan to deal with climate change and rising sea levels. What now? In his address to congress, President Trump promised to deregulate the gas and oil industries and revitalize the coal industry. On the campaign trail, he pledged to do away with the EPA. One of his first executive orders removed the restrictions on coal mines waste dumping into local rivers and streams. In his address to Congress which lasted over an hour, less than five seconds referenced environmental concerns. It looks like it is up to us to defend 47 years of environmental progress and to fight for its continued improvement.

SURF MUSEUM By Dan Reiter
Sliding Through Spring
If you haven’t seen the Hobgood exhibit at the museum yet, don’t worry, you can take a virtual tour. Check out their tour on the Florida Surf Museum’s website under the exhibit tab and see many of the Hobgoods’ trophies and memorabilia. The curators at the museum have told me about a very exciting new installation featuring one of the area’s most legendary surfers. However, since it’s still a few months away, I’m not supposed to divulge in this column. Just know it will be something “the likes of which you have never seen before...” will happen. If that quote sounds familiar, you should be surfing more and watching less TV. Get out there... but be careful weaving through the snowbirds and spring breakers on the
way to the beach. And if you live south of Minutemen, can I recommend Satellite Beach Publix? In other news, look out for the trough of doom. Deep spots have been plaguing the southern beaches this spring. The bars aren’t all bad, though. Some standout sandbars have emerged. Summer could be promising. Peace and love, peace and love, Dan

in Kona, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Dalmatian mix, was a Christmas gift to a couple who worked at the Cape. They quickly realized that their schedule was too full and gave her away. Luckily, she went to Girard Middleton. He said, “When I saw that dog, it was love at first sight.” Girard renamed her Kona after the largest island region in Hawaii. Kona has no idea she’s a town celebrity. She’s pictured on a paddleboard with Girard in advertisements on billboards, U-Haul trailers, bus stop benches, and posters. Girald said Kona makes friends wherever she goes, whether it is at the surf shop or in town. He shared a film he took of Kona and the dolphins. The small stars in the video are a group of dolphins swimming next to brown, wooden buoys. Another little spec is Kona inching in the direction of the white moving water. The dolphins and dog seemed to be happily frolicking in the gray water. Kona seems to enjoy fetching the tennis ball every morning while Girard drinks his first cup of coffee and again before dark. When she’s not at home, her silhouette can be seen down the road towards the SoBe Surf Shop. It’s her job to be the shop’s greeter, wag her tail, and give kisses. Allowing pets on the beach is a controversial, hotly-debated topic in Cocoa Beach. Some people fear irresponsible pet owners will allow pets to sully the beautiful coastline. Others worry they will cause problems for beach wildlife, and if poorly controlled, dangerous for people on the beach. Other beach
lovers like Girard, want to play on the beach with their dogs. Many people want to walk their dogs on the beach at sunrise. As far as Kona is concerned, the water is for everyone.
It is currently illegal to walk dogs on Cocoa Beach and throughout many beaches in Florida. It can result in a fine. The only pet-friendly beach in Brevard County is Canova Beach Park near Indian Harbour Beach. For more information on dog-friendly beaches, call (321) 633-2024.

SKILLED LABOR By Natalie Palmadesso
Offers STEM CELL THERAPY No one wants surgery. Dr. Jeffrey Christianson is participating in a study that may provide relief for injured or immune-disordered pets without incisions. Stem cells can morph into any type of cell needed. The cells are harvested from the animal’s fat, processed, and reinjected into the pet. These one-size-fits-all cells can be used to replace joint tissue, bone, or other tissues that have worn away or become injured. Stem cell therapy is a branch of Restorative Medicine helping sick animals restore and improve function. Veterinary medicine has been utilizing Autologous (stem cells from the pet) therapy for well over a decade. It helps animals with arthritis, injuries, inflammatory bowel disease, and other immune-mediated disorders rehabilitate or regain some function.
Allogeneic Stem Cell Therapy Studied Dr. Christianson’s newest project is a research study to analyze the use of Allogeneic cells (cells from donor pets) in therapy. The clinic is taking part in a double-blinded placebo controlled research study. Half of the patients just get a saline control solution injected into the joint as opposed to a stem cell therapy. He will monitor the results over a six-month period. He won’t know until the end of the study who got the control. “Some of the pets get a stem cell treatment for free. We do blood work and x-rays, and it’s all covered by the study.”
The Big Unknown It’s unknown if Allogeneic stem cell therapy is as safe

and effective as Autologous therapy. Dr. Christianson noted, “The goal of the study is that sick pets could receive stem cell therapy without the pain and discomfort of surgery.”
Jiminy Cricket Sick and injured animals recuperating at the Island Animal Clinic have a goodwill ambassador to their lift their spirits. Dr. Ballard’s dog, Jiminy Cricket ( Jim) is a daily visitor. Jim was an injured client. Practice Manager Holly Davis explains, ”He came in with two broken legs, and it was too much for his owner to handle.” Jim was in two casts for months and needed round-the-clock care. Jim now goes to work daily with Dr. Ballard. He runs around the hallways when Dr. Ballard is on break, providing comic relief for recuperating pet patients. Veterinary medical discoveries are providing a better quality of life and extending the lives of our furry friends. It’s exciting that a local animal hospital is at the forefront of these emerging trends. It’s also comforting to know recovering pets have Jim for inspiration.
Island Animal Hospital has three locations: Merritt Island, Viera, and Cocoa Beach. For more information visit islandanimal.com.

DREDGING THE
BANANA RIVER LAGOON WITH PROJECT MANAGER,
WAYNE
CARRAGINO
To the untrained eye, muck is nothing special. The garden-variety inky, stinky dirt collects in the corners of the road and is easily overlooked. But years of muck build-up on the bottom of the Banana River Lagoon can choke plant and animal life. 20
thebeachsideresident.com
A P R I L 2 0 17
Wayne Carragino, a project manager for the City of Cocoa Beach, is working on a muck dredging project to remove excess nutrients from the water system. He’s writing grants and partnering with local agencies to pool funding for these projects and hoping to minimize or prevent the next fish kill.
Muck Is Mud by Any Other Name
The muck itself is a mixture that’s about 20% organic, mostly lawn clippings, leaves and other yard debris. The other 80% is silt and sand. Dredging physically vacuums the muck out of the bottom of the lagoon. Less muck means less phosphorus and nitrogen in the water. Phosphorus and nitrogen fuel the algae blooms that cloud the water, remove necessary oxygen and kills other plant and animal life.
Dredging Basics
Wayne explained that there are three components to dredging: the permitting, the actual dredging and the spoil containment area management. “Number one and number three are the major issues, especially in a city like Cocoa Beach. It matters a lot to them where you put the spoil sites.” The island photographed has been used and reused for years as a designated spoil site.
Paying for the Dredge
These projects are expensive. “For a small community, a dredging project like this one is well beyond our monetary capabilities. We have to partner with organizations such as the Florida Inland Navigation District, Brevard county, the St. John’s Water District, and the Fish and Wildlife Service, (if they have grant money).” This particular collaborative project includes the St. John Water District, the
“
“I came from New Jersey working in a suit and tie to living in Florida and working on a dredge. It was a bit of a culture shock but fun.” -Wayne Carragino
county, and city. The estimated cost to dredge and remove the spoil from the site ranges is between 1.2 to $1.3 million dollars.
Grants
Years ago Cocoa Beach used to have their own dredge. “The first job I got here was on the deck of a dredge. I came from New Jersey working in a suit and tie to living in Florida and working on a dredge. It was a bit of a culture shock but fun. I learned all about this river hands-on for about a year until we mothballed it.” The three-man dredge was old and antiquated. It took a year to complete a canal where the newer rigs take a week or two. “We did a time analysis study and decided that time was better spent contracting out the dredging to private industry while we focus on grant writing. Wayne is an active grant writer currently working on several projects including one with Florida Inland Navigation to replace 400 channel markers.
The Dredge
The actual dredge is called an auger suction dredge and is accompanied by a small cutter boat. It has an archimedean screw set at an
angle to the suction pipe. The screw loosens the muck from the bottom of the lagoon and the pipe vacuums the muck. In the cockpit the operator can GPS locate debris and see the bottom. The dredge only targets the muck. A canal can takes a week or two to complete. It’s hard to estimate how long the projects last. “The survey was done three years ago before there were a few hurricanes so there’s more muck than we anticipated.”
Processing the Muck
As the muck dries, it becomes a black soupy mixture, and it meanders around what are called fingers. This process separates the muck from the discharge water. The city monitors turbidity (water clarity) on a daily basis. The berm walls encapsulate the muck while it dries. Much like pudding, the top will dry to form a crust, but the floor will stay wet. Once the berm wall reaches its maximum height, the drying muck is stirred to ensure that all layers dry equally. The crew empties and refills the site three or for times to complete a project.
Spoil Site
The spoil site significantly impacted the island.
Green tree canopies dot the other islands surrounding the spoil site. The site itself is empty and nearly lifeless. The vegetation is gone, and the white sand stands out like a sore thumb. “We can’t have vegetation on it while we’re actively dredging.” The island along with three others in the area were chosen years ago. “This is an upland island so when they developed a management plan they had the foresight years ago to designate three spoil sites islands in the north. The issue now is people are looking at these area and they don’t want the sites in their backyard.” The city took public sentiment into consideration and decided to leave the other spoil site islands alone.
Removing the Spoil
The final task is removing the spoil is with barges and heavy equipment. With front loaders they scoop the dried muck into dump trucks. There’s a docking point and they use segmental barges. These barges pin together to make it a road as long as they need. Front loaders scoop the dried muck onto a barge. There’s a docking point, and segmental barges pin together to make it a road as long as they need. Once the barge gets to the target
location, the front loaders unload the material into dump trucks and take it away. “It’s an involved process but that’s what we’ll continue to reuse this island. The others are beautiful and we don’t want to distrub them.”
Stormwater Runoff
A lot of the material is coming from stormwater run-off. Grass clippings, leaves, silt anything that gets on the road and finds it’s way into the river. “We have a lot of issues with direct discharge. People just take the water from the road and dump it into the lagoon. It’s not treated with depression or retention ponds and there’s no baffle box.” The Half cent sales tax is addressing the majors areas, one being muck dredging, and another is stormwater and improvement. “We’re looking for projects to improve the stormwater. You can dredge all this muck out but in 10 years it will all be back. We’ve got to stop it before it starts.”

CAPTAIN
CLARK
GIANGARRA
Indian River Lagoon Wildlife Tours at Honest John’s Fish Camp in Melbourne Beach Captain Clark Giangarra has over 30 years of experience navigating the Indian River Lagoon. Before becoming a tour guide, he was also the president and owner of a algae collection project. 22
thebeachsideresident.com
A P R I L 2 0 17
Captain Clark gained knowledge from the project that he threads into his tours. His company Algae Collection Technology Inc., sought to remove large quantities of macroalgae from the lagoon. The algae had a commercial value as a renewable feedstock for energy, cattle, and fertilizer. Captain Clark explained, “For every 88 pounds of wet algae that we would take, a pound of nitrogen and 30 to 1 ratio of phosphates was removed from the water. I wanted to use it as feedstock in a methane digester to convert it into electricity.”
He noted that the minerals in algae could help wean cattle off of antibiotics and the sludge could be used for soil compost. “In 2011, we had a massive microalgae bloom that killed the seagrass and seaweed. [These were both essential ingredients to the process]. He had to walk away from the company. He pointed out during the tour that the lagoon is far from optimum. “There’s still too much nutrient runoff. Just a little bit of nutrient causes a lot of algae.”
Clark explained the pops are pistol shrimp sending sonic water jets to stun their prey. “Sometimes, ifthere are a lot here it sounds like bacon frying.” A manatee grunted underneath our boat. They popped their heads out the water, and we realized it’s a mother and her baby.
Seeing Can Be Deceiving
We turned a corner and noticed a boatload of people on an island with herbicide canisters. Their goal is to slowly poison the invasive Australian Pines and Brazilian Pepper. The group wants to restore the islands back to native vegetation. “It’s a big undertaking. I have mixed emotions about it because of the chemicals. But it would be nice to have a more native environment.” They tried simply chopping down the trees once. “As soon as you remove the trees, the plants go from shaded to full sun. It stresses the native plants.” Herbicide offers a more gradual process.
It was a beautiful March day; the sky was nearly robin-egg blue and the water picture perfect. The crystal clear water showed the bottom in two or three feet below.. “You can be deceived by it. We’ve had very little rain. As soon as we get a lot of rain, it’ll flush a lot of nutrients into the system.” Clark explained that macroalgae absorb more nutrients than it needs to grow. Much like our bodies store fat to get to the winter, macroalgae horde nutrients and deprive the microalgae of food. “You get out here the water is crystal clear, but in other sections, it’s very dark.” Clark points toward the nearby communities with septic tanks and another on a golf course. “There’s a lot of fertilizer runoff, and people don’t think that’s a problem. All you need do is come in and see how dark the water is closer to these inhabited areas.”
Manatee and Pistol Shrimp Clark added a microphone in the water to listen to the squeaks and squeals of the manatees. We saw a snout bobbing on the water’s surface. Underwater snapping sounds crackled through the speaker.
Australian Pines Demaise
Fish Camp The fish camp used to be primarily for fisherman. Now it’s more ecotourism based. “People want to take canoes and kayaks out to see manatees and dolphins. There’s still people who fish, but it’s not the dominant activity.” Clark remarked that the tours were the best way to continue protecting the lagoon after the algae project ended. “I feel like if I can give people a tour of the lagoon, they’ll come to love it and protect it. In a strange way, I feel like I’ve accomplished more doing this than after spending four and a half years trying to reduce nutrient levels.”

THE ART SIDE
BROWN’S TAXIDERMY When it comes to that prize fish hanging on the wall, it might surprise you that it is most likely a fiberglass-molded replica. Bob and Travis Brown are father and son fiberglass-fish-building craftsmen. Bob has fabricated fish for the past 45 years and is teaching his son Travis the craft. It all started as a hobby and a way to supplement his surfboard business. One day he tinkered with fish molds, and he’s been hooked ever since. THE EARLY DAYS In the early days, anglers brought the actual dead fish to Bob. He cast fiberglass molds to make copies of the fish he liked. The mold-making process started by gutting them and stuffing the stomachs with sawdust. He’d wedge and nearly bifurcate the fish into the left and right sides with a piece of cardboard. When the fish was stabilized, he’d pour fiberglass to cast a mold of each side. The shell once created could be used to build replica fish or more molds. Bob spent years collecting and trading molds with other craftsmen to build his catalog. Travis noted, “Chances are that between my dad and his buddies, they have one of everything.”
FIBERGLASS REPLICAS
Travis has molds of everything from little finger mullet to
giant marlins. After casting the mold, he uses automotive paint to color and protects with a clear coat of polyurethane. Sometimes he integrates real teeth to fabricate sharks and barracuda. “We don’t mess with real fish parts that often anymore.” Fishermen sometimes provide fins or a bill from a swordfish or marlin to attach to the replica.
INTERNATIONAL SALES The internet has been good to the Brown family through eBay and other outlets. The most popular item sold are the half mounts or simply the front side of the fish which are less expensive. “The full mounts are more impressive. We have different style mounts. Some will look like the fish are swimming off the wall or ceiling. People also use driftwood or coffee tables as pedestals to make them viewable from all sides.”
REPAIRING FAMILY TREASURES
A few people still bring in their dad’s old fish. It’s expensive to fix the original. It’s cheaper to create a duplicate. Over time some of the older skin mounts peel, and fins curl or are damaged. Years ago taxidermists converted real fish into trophies before it evolved into fiberglass molds. “I’ll take the real antique fish, and we’ll replace the fins. If it’s a sailfish that has a gash in it we’ll fill in the hole and paint it to match.”
THE PAINT PROCESS There’s a real art in duplicating sea life. Travis explains the process. First, he uses a paint gun to color the fiberglass mold fish black on each side. After each side dries, he flips them over to paint the primer followed by a silver coat since most fish have a silver shine. “That brings out the metallic, and

their bellies are white.” An airbrush pencil creates the dots or squiggles. The majority of the base layers are with the paint gun. The Brown family has several tricks to match the photo to the fiberglass fish and mimic the shimmer, shine, and colors of living fish. “You learn different tricks with shading. But the magic is in the painting. That’s what brings it to life.”
TINIEST TO BIGGEST FISH STORIES The Brown family and their staff make about 40 or 50 fish a week. Travis still gets calls about clown fish or bait fish replicas. “A couple of years ago, we cast a 20 or 30-year-old giant Pacu (part of the piranha family). A lady over on Merritt Island wanted to memorialize her favorite pet after an unusually cold winter.” As a gag gift, people ask for casts of tiny bait fish. They charge a minimum of $200 for the full mounts. “We have a minimum of 20 inches, and people will pay it.” The largest fish the family made to date is a 15-foot Marlin.
REPLICA SNAPSHOTS IN TIME Travis believes that all fish, even within the same species, differ in color. “Fish change color throughout a day.” Travis has caught dolphin that appeared blue when they jumped, but when they’re near the boat, they’re yellow. He believes fish change color in different situations; that there’s a moment-to-moment shift. Fishermen call the term “lighting up.” “When I paint a fish I want them to look lit up. You really notice the variety when you look at photos of fish every day.” Anglers often ask for advice to preserve their treasured fishing memories. “We encourage catch-and-release, if you’re not going to eat it. Just take a photo, and we’ll do the rest.”
Brown’s Taxidermy is located at 525 Glen Cheek Dr # B. in Cape Canaveral. For more information call (321) 784-6677 or visit browntaxidermy.com.

of Restaurant the Month By Shane Burgman
Grills Riverside Having a“go-to” restaurant is important. It helps combat the inevitable question of the night: “What do you want to do for dinner?” Somehow, this seems to be one of the hardest decisions of the day. Ironically, we all make critical decisions at work, but for some reason, can’t decide what to eat. The struggle is real. Luckily, our go-to restaurant, Grills Riverside, is just around the corner from us. Grills Riverside (GR) is an unforgettable restaurant that always delivers. Whether you’re looking for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, there’s something perfect for you. Date night, an event venue, or the perfect place to sip on a margarita riverside, GR has you covered. Accommodating, they go out of their way to ensure you and your guests have a fantastic time. I know this first-hand because we’ve hosted morning business meetings here and are treated like royalty. We recently decided to spend a night out and relied on our trusty friends at GR to show us a great time. We were not let down. For starters, we ordered a bottle of wine for date night and went with a 2014 Shiraz. Obviously, we needed an appetizer to hold us over. We chose the Tahitian Tuna Poke. The premium sushi-grade tuna is seared, chilled and served over sticky coconut rice drizzled with sauce. So yummy. After a tall glass of wine, perusing GR’s robust menu, and inhaling our Tuna Poke, we make our dinner selection. We share a dish since the portions here are quite hefty. What better meal to share than the classic Surf and Turf ? A 6 oz. Florida lobster tail, 12 oz. Delmonico steak, mashed taters and some fresh vegetables, what a combo!

its finest, great conversation and we are ready to take this evening to the next level. I’m talking about dessert! Sure, we could order their marvelous Key Lime pie or Fried Cheesecake, but we want something different. It’s a date night after all. We went with one of the best-kept secrets in town, Grillsberry Frozen Yogurt Station. Yes, they have a froyo bar, and yes, it’s perfect. Two small cups to-go and we took this party to the deck. Outside we listen to live music and take in that terrific view before calling it a night. As you can tell, we are huge fans of GR and everything they do. Most of the time we dine inside, especially if we want to hold long conversations. Typically after dinner, we will hang out on the deck for a bit and enjoy the entertainment before going home. Overall GR is amazing, it’s great for the family or out-of-town-guests, no matter the occasion. It’s our go-to restaurant. Maybe if you visit, it’ll be yours too.

On a Thursday evening at Open Mike’s in Melbourne, the hum of freshly-queued amps and sounds of soon to be in-tune instruments travel through the air. Coffee is brewing, beers are pouring, and dishes are clattering as another night of local entertainment comes together.
It’s in this seemingly normal music venue that I meet Ryan Speer. Ryan is the visionary and vocalist behind KONGLOM- a somewhat less-than-normal rock band. Mike Della Cioppa, the owner of Open Mike’s and KONGLOM’s bassist, provides a practice room in the back. Past the bar, the kitchen, and the stockroom, something stares through you. There’s a small cupboard of a room with atomic eyes. The room is decorated with the symbol for the atom with an “eye of Sauron” painted in the middle. Creepy but cool. The weirdness was starting to set in. Five years ago, Ryan began creating sounds and beats on a software program with a crazy idea in mind. As a self-admitted, anxiety-prone guy with little formal musical training, he wasn’t too quick to show off his work. Eventually, he contacted Mike whose immediate reaction was, “I’m in.” Ryan laughed at this, “In? In what?” He didn’t go to Mike to form a band; he just wanted his opinion.
Now KONGLOM is a five-member electronic/psychedelic rock outfit with sounds reminiscent of 1960s Iron Butterfly and 1990s Blur. Rounding out the group with Ryan and Mike are Frank Mapstone on keys, James Dallas on lead guitar, and Brock Wollard on drums. The name KONGLOM was originally Conglom, short for conglomerate. However, in a story twist that only makes sense in today’s high-tech world, all the domains were taken. A graphic designer by trade with an art education background, Ryan is very concept-driven. For him, a detailed backstory is critical to the overall product. With KONGLOM, he’s certainly outdone himself. KONGLOM’s music revolves around an imaginary dystopian future looking back at its commercially technological past as magic. Ryan’s deep-seated concept is meta and weird, worthy of H.G. Wells, Philip K. Dick, or David Bowie. I was hooked. “But weird can be cool, too, right?” Ryan’s Continued on pg 40

Sounds of
There’s a lot to get excited about in the next few weeks. Central Florida is a springtime route for many touring acts who swing through the state. Conveniently, they play here while the rest of the country shakes off the final remains of winter. Grammy winners Chris Botti and Buddy Guy will both be headlining shows in Melbourne. Brevard’s own Honey Miller have scheduled April 26 and 27 at the Studio Theater at the King Center. The Amway Center will host the Red Hot Chili Peppers (4/26). House of Blues will be busy with storied college radio acts such as The Flaming Lips (4/3), The Damned (4/12), and Anthrax (4/13). If you prefer your rock more indie and in smaller venues, Backbooth will see The Subhumans (4/8) and Sorority Noise (4/27). While across town Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah (4/27) will be at Will’s.
Springtime
Surf guitar pioneer Dick Dale pulls into Melbourne on April 15, and he will be only too happy to show you why he’s a legend. For an evening of really different, dark musings, Romania’s Negura Bunget (4/12) will perform their unique brand of rock at The Haven in Winter Park. 70s rock radio mainstays Grand Funk Railroad will swing by Cocoa’s Riverfront Park on May 7 to remind us they’re still an American Band. May 8 brings another 70s radio mainstay to Melbourne’s King Center (5/8), as Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy, a tribute to his former act, Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP). Palmer is the only one left, as the other two passed last year. And because they rarely get over to this side of the planet, let’s not forget Japan’s own Shonen Knife, who will be at Will’s Pub on May 4. Live music fans, don’t miss your chance to get out and enjoy legends at work. With this much variety on tour there’s nearly something for every music fan.

of military, government civilians and contractors from across the 45th Space Wing provide the mission assurance to ensure a safe and successful lift-off for range customers. “We truly have a tremendous team here on the Space Coast, and it’s my honor to be a part of this mission supporting the commercial space industry,” said Brig. Gen. Wayne Monteith, 45th Space Wing commander and Launch Decision Authority for this mission. “Assured access to space is a team sport here on the Eastern Range. This operation once again clearly demonstrates the successful collaboration we have with our mission
partner SpaceX as we continue to shape the future of America’s space operations and showcase why the 45th Space Wing is the ‘World’s Premier Gateway to Space.’” Since the late 1960s, LC 39A has served as the starting point for America’s most significant human spaceflight endeavors such as the Apollo 11 launch for the first manned moon landing in 1969 and the first Space Transportation System mission in 1981 with the launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia, also named STS-1. Thirty years later, NASA’s 135th and final mission of the Space Shuttle program, STS-135, successfully launched the orbiter Atlantis from LC 39A.
FISHING REPORT //
By Brett Mchatton
FISHING FOR STORIES Captain Jamie Glasner is a Cocoa Beach native with his heart, head, and reel in the water. He began fishing at an early age and always wanted to be a captain. When he got his Captain’s Licence at the age of 18, he made that dream into a reality. Now with a bustling business, he spends his workdays like most people spend their vacations. How old were you when you first went fishing and who took you out? The first time I went fishing was off my parents’ dock when I was probably two with my Batman pole. I caught my first fish around then- I think it was a pinfish. What do you like about fishing? I like watching the bobber go down under the water. It’s exciting, anticipating the bite. When did you get hooked on fishing? Growing up, I watched “Addictive Fishing” with Captain Blair Wiggins. I liked watching him catch tailing redfish. It made me want to go out and do it. I thought that redfish would only eat topwater lures. But after I caught a few with bait, it was game over.
find the baitfish; you will find the redfish. You earned your Captain’s License at 18 years old. How long did it take and what did you have to do to earn it? My Captain’s License course was only a twoweek class, not too much to it. I just had to pay attention because the test was no joke. On top of that, you have to have enough time at sea to get your license. [360 days on a vessel with many stipulations on where those days are spent and how recently.] What’s your funniest fish story?
How did tailing redfish teach you how to fish?
My buddy Andrew and I were fishing along the ocean for tarpon at night. It was super rough. He hooked a tarpon and fell off the boat fighting it. He held onto the rod when he fell overboard. Luckily, he was still able to land the fish once he got back onto the boat.
When it comes to redfish, I tell anglers, all you have to do is find the baitfish. You
What’s the biggest thing people misunderstand about fishing the
Banana and Indian Rivers or fishing in general? Fishing is about having fun, some days are good and some days are slow. Scrolling through Fin and Fly’s Facebook page, it’s obvious that Jamie knows when, where, and how to catch fish. With the company’s expanding fleet, they are sure to give you an experience you’ll never forget. So if you want to fish, enjoy a day on the water, and learn from an expert, give them a call.

KARL BACON IS NOT YOUR ASTROLOGER Karl Bacon is some guy I met while waiting in line at the DMV. He wrote these on the back of Form 83043. His name might not even be Karl Bacon. Read these horoscopes at your own risk. Enjoy! ARIES
(September 23- October 22)
This should be a good month for you. Time to get yourself in shape, mind, body, and soul. I predict you will be up all night wondering where the sun went. But later on it will dawn on you. Speaking of the sun, do you know the name of ours? It’s Sol, as in the Solar System. Add cracking a book occasionally to your list, Copernicus.
People who love you want to share time and ideas with you. Enjoy the social connection. The other day a bunch of astronomers and I got tired of waiting for the sun to go down, so we decided to pack up and call it a day.
TAURUS
(April 21- May 21) This is a time you will experience a lot of internal growth. You are transcending your physical limitations. Your work life looks good, and money may be coming your way soon. Remember, living on Earth may be expensive, but at least you get a free trip around the Sun every year.
GEMINI
( May 22- June 21) You’re working on improving yourself and you’ve got a list of things that need changing. You’re adapting and enjoying time with friends. Here’s a test for them next time you’re at the bar: name the first satellite to orbit the Earth. If they answer the moon, buy the first round. If they answer Sputnik, give them money for an Uber home. They’ve obviously been drinking too much.
CANCER
( June 22- July 22) Make time for yourself this month. It’s been very busy, and you’re working hard. But don’t forget to take breaks and rest. Find time for yourself to relax or go to the beach. Go read a good novel. I’ve been reading a book about anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down.
LEO
( July 23- August 23) You’re raring to go. Your health is wonderful, and you have energy and optimism to move forward. You just have to learn to be a little more patient. You want everything yesterday. By the way, don’t forget, the seminar on time travel will be held last Friday.
VIRGO
(August 24- September 22) It’s a good time to detox your life. You might have had some health problems last month and you’re starting to feel better. Try to have a more positive attitude. Cut away what no longer serves you and dump the negative. Speaking of negative, two atoms bump into each other. One says, “Oh no, I’ve lost an electron.” “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m positive.”

LIBRA
(March 21- April 20)
SCORPIO (October 23- November 21) Congratulations on all your hard work; it will pay off. Don’t change things too quickly in your life and practice patience. Sorry, I really wanted to add a space pun here but I need a little longer to planet.
SAGITTARIUS
(November 22- December 21) It’s a great time to reach out to other people in your life. Be generous with your time and creativity. A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “How much for a beer?” The bartender says, “For you, no charge.”
CAPRICORN
(December 22- January 20) A photon checks into a hotel. The bellhop asks, “Can I help you with your luggage?” It replies, “I don’t have any. I’m traveling light.” Cappys need to lighten up. You must balance health with work. Consider working from home to balance your career, personal and family life this month.
AQUARIUS
( January 21- February 19) When is the moon at its heaviest? When it’s full, of course! Sometimes we doubt what we know to be true. You will feel like you have a better understanding of your life and know what you need to discover about yourself. You’re thinking about the past and present and noticing patterns. Maybe some of your “disasters” in life were merely events, pathways to a better life.
PISCES
(February 20- March 20) How many general relativists does it take to change a light bulb? One holds the bulb, while the other rotates the universe. You might feel like you’re rotating the universe this month. Money, love, career and family look positive. All this activity will keep you busy and overly optimistic. Avoid big money decisions till after the 17th.

Local Amp | By D.R. Wolfe question to me with a half-joking smile as I wrapped my head around the notion. When they sit down to make a new song, it’s that decidedly weird scenario that sticks with them. That’s great news since the band intends to release two brand new EPs this year. No set date, but the official word from Ryan is, “soon.” The oddity of their concept is just enough to make the music come together. Ryan, however, as a true-to-form frontman likes using his backstory as a stage prop during performances. And why not? Absurdism is most at home when music and theatrics meet, and KONGLOM’s absurdist vibe is certainly on point. To answer Ryan’s question, yes, weird can be cool.
Art Festival, April 22 and 23. Stage and time TBD. For more information about upcoming shows and releases follow KONGLOM on Facebook, Instagram, or konglommusic.com.
KONGLOM will be performing at the Melbourne

INQUIRE of
Juliet By Juliet Pomodoro
Dear Juliet,
My ultimate fantasy involves my beautiful girlfriend, some pounding surf, and a surfboard. I have proposed this idea to her, but she’s not sold on it. I know she trusts you. Can you please tell her I have a good idea?
-Inventive in Fort Pierce Dear Inventive, The ingredients to this fantasy sound dubious to me. Without getting further specifics from you, I can tell that she probably has plenty of great reasons to be uninterested in your -ahem- pounding surf. Further, Inventive, to be clear: she doesn’t need a reason. Find a variation that will be enjoyable for both of you, or file this under “Imagination Only.”
Love, Juliet
Dear Juliet,
I recently started taking dance classes by myself with a private instructor. My wife isn’t interested in dancing, but is less than thrilled with my beautiful, curvaceous instructor. I admit, we do have a lot of chemistry on the dance floor. But that’s where it ends. How can I put my wife’s mind at ease?
-Not Looking For Trouble in Cape Canaveral Dear Trouble, First, let’s begin with an English lesson: Jealousy is when you are afraid someone is going to take something from you. Envy is when you want something someone else has as your own. I suspect your wife is feeling a combination of the two. Make sure she knows she comes first. What’s another way you can sweep her off her feet? Focus on her and all will be well.
Love, Juliet
Dear Juliet,
I love biker babes! I want a brash, busty, tattooed, leather-wearing, perm- and highlight-having woman to rough me up and make things fun! The only problem is this: I’m a small and skinny, tie-wearing banker. I look like a nerd on the outside, but I’m in the market for a lady with an all-American hog. How do I bridge the gap?

Daytona Beach Dear Looking, I think there may just be a rally in your area that will bring a whole boatload of biker ladies right to your doorstep! Put out some personal ads, and be honest about your appearance and occupation. There might just be a big boss hog out there looking for a nerd like you.
Love, Juliet
Dear Juliet,
I recently met and fell in love. She is much older than me, but this isn’t a problem for us. Except for one thing: her children. Her kids are grown, and at least a generation ahead of me. They hate our relationship, and they think I have ulterior motives with their mom. How can I make friends with them?
-Young Buck in New Port Richey Dear Buck, I can see why your lover’s kids are a little putoff. The idea that they may have babysat their future father-in-law might not sit well with anyone. Try to show them that your love for their mom is real, respectful, and everlasting. Beyond your social interactions, their opinions shouldn’t be of too much concern to you. So know when to draw a line in that Florida sand, and focus on your lucky lady.
Love, Juliet
Dear Juliet,
My boyfriend is an artist and often uses nude models for his work. Lately, though, he and one of his models have been doing a lot of after-hours work. I caught him taking a bottle of wine to his studio. How do I know what they’re up to over there?
-Suspicious in Orlando Dear Suspicious, Trust is a tender and fickle thing, Suspicious. As one of my favorite philosopher’s once said,” we can’t go on together, with suspicious minds.” Looking over your shoulder, and feeling the cold shoulder from the one you love is no way to live. Talk to hubby and see what he says. Seek counseling, alone and together. Love, Juliet
