Publishers Note

For many years The Beachside Resident has taken a strong stance in educating the residents of our community regarding the quality of our oceans and waterways, not just locally, but globally. We, as a beachside community, feel a deep connection to the ocean. It flanks our homes and commutes, misting us with it’s salty spray and beautifying our travels to and fro. The importance of its virtue resonates with us on a cellular level, as our very own bodies are mostly comprised of it. Why, then, do we continually struggle to improve our water quality issue? As a combat veteran I have seen and experienced many distressing events, however I won’t soon forget the days I watched thousands of fish suffocate to death in the Indian River lagoon. Our lagoon is in serious trouble folks, and it’s going to take a tremendous effort in environmental stewardship to make a change. Over the past couple years reports have been produced regarding the quality of our drinking water in relation to contaminants being leaked into the grounds and waterways. I guess what I’m trying to say is we MUST take a hard look at these processes and take realistic approaches - immediately! Not only does it affect our quality a life, but it’s affecting our health and the health of our children, which will continue for generations to follow if we don’t take action. How can you make a difference? For starters, I would like to invite you to visit The Marine Resource Counsel www.savetheIRL.com. These fine people are taking a stand and they need our help to make it flourish. If we all pitch in, I truly believe we can make a difference.

KEEP FLORIDA WEIRD

9 Florida Laws EVERYONE should know….right? 9. Drugs. Let’s just get this one out of the way. When it comes to unusual news stories unfolding along the beach, finding narcotics isn’t one of them. More bales of marijuana and bricks of cocaine have washed up on our sands, from Key West to Fort Lauderdale, than anywhere else in the nation. 8. Military Toys. South Beach worried their year might end with the wrong kind of bang in December when a bomb squad evacuated the beach to investigate a metal cylinder seen in the sand. Not to worry — it was just a military flare, probably the kind that burns brighter than the sun and makes you see spots for weeks. No biggie. 7. Dead people. This one is both sad and unnerving. Waterlogged bodies regularly show up on Florida beaches, from Miami, to Ocean Ridge, and well up into the Gulf Coast at an alarming rate. There are truly too many to list, and that’s not the kind of thing you can say about most seaside tourist destinations. 6. Severed limbs. While we’re on the subject of the grimmer things that have wound up in the Florida surf, St. Pete Beach has also had different, detached, body parts found by beach-goers. Truly makes you wonder how many TV shows are using real stories we may not want to know about. 5. Wildlife. On its face, the idea of animals winding up onshore doesn’t seem all that weird. But some of these creatures have been more than a little on the odd side. Sometimes they have been found alive, such as the full-grown crocodile in Hollywood, FL and the alligator in Miami. But some weird ones have also shown up dead, and it isn’t always clear how or why. Thousands of dead bees washed ashore in Naples, as well as a shark in New Smyrna Beach after something had eaten the rear half of its body. 4. Café cubano. I don’t care what type of coffee snob you think you are, if you went to the beach one morning and found hundreds of yards of coastline littered with fresh cans and packs of Cuban coffee, you’d want dibs. That’s exactly what the people of Indiatlantic were lucky enough to experience in 2015 after hundreds of coffee containers mysteriously (wondrously) turned up on their beach.. 3. Tires. In the 1970s, the State of Florida, in its infinite wisdom, took on a project to build an artificial reef off the coast of Fort Lauderdale by dumping 2 million tires into the ocean. The idea was that coral would grow on the tires and fish would come for the coral and people would come for the fish. The state could boost tourism and get rid of its garbage at the same time. Naturally, none of that happened. The tires not only were 100 percent ineffective as a place for coral to grow, but also essentially ensured the area they were dropped would remain uninhabitable. 2. Eight-foot-tall Lego men. (Yes, plural) Giant plastic Lego men have been found on a few beaches around the world sporting mischievous smiles and shirts with sayings that make little sense. In 2011, one showed up on Siesta Key in Sarasota wearing a green shirt that read, “No real than you are.” 1. Refugees. Persons displaced by dangerous conditions in their country of origin make up the most important part of this list, both because of how normal they are to most Miamians and because of the significance of that normalcy. Nowhere else in America do people arrive after taking to the open seas in search of freedom, hope, and a better life. Nowhere else can you see people running into the ocean to help starving and beleaguered immigrants fleeing from totalitarianism. It is a wholly unique thing, yet it is so completely central to the identity of Miami and South Florida, to the tapestry of what makes this place so special, that it doesn’t seem strange at all.

Resident of the Month Dennis Holman

Every week, Monday - Friday, I would sit at my desk, gazing through the window. I’d spend a few moments watching the sun shine brightly and kids running as fast as they could to stand in line for a scoop of delicious ice cream. And just as sure as I was that the sun would rise and the sugar rushes would come, I knew this man, as tall as the trees and as quiet as the clouds, would walk my window. Countless times he passed by and countless times I thought I should go say hello. It wasn’t until one sunny Sunday afternoon, when I saw this same man many blocks away from the office, that I decided I would finally walk outside the office and talk to him. To no surprise, I saw this mysterious man the very next day, humbly and gallantly stroll by my work window, sword in hand and shield by his side. Though his weapons aren’t lethal, the evil he’s fighting against is, and standing at a whopping 6’8” made it very easy for him to see these villains from far and near. I’m so glad I finally got the chance to meet this resident, a man I consider an “unsung hero”.

by

The who, what and where? My name is Dennis Holman. My family and I are “part timers”. We spend some time down here at my Father-in-law’s house in Cocoa Beach, and the other time is spent home in Vermont. I’m retired now, but I worked in emergency services for most of my life. I have two kids that are both grown, and grandkids, they come down with me and visit. Now that I’m retired I focus on being a great man to I meet and know.

4 all

How did you begin picking up trash? About 5 years ago, I started to go for a daily walk and wanted to increase my heart rate. There are many reasons I love Cocoa Beach, too many to mention, so I thought picking up litter would be a nice way to give back. After awhile, my back gave me some push back, so I invested in my grabber (sword) and 5 gallon bucket (shield). It’s my therapy, exercise and community service. Have you been a part of any clean up crews? This past February I went out with the Surf Riders and did a clean up from Ron Jon’s to the Westgate Pier and back. A few days before that, I was able to help plant the sea oats; this is the earliest I’ve been down in order to help. I’ve also done the Mayor’s challenge this year, since I already pick up around town, I figured I might as well be a part of it. What inspired you? I may not be an environmentalist, but I think it’s my duty to help. Being here, you’re feet away from the ocean. The street gutters are in a fast pass line to the ocean, much like Disney. I try to pay attention to plastics as best I can. I actually mentioned the issue of plastic straws to the Downtown group, and when I came back, they were gone! It made me very happy to see a difference. I pay attention to the straws, plastic does a lot of damage to nature’s animals. Now that straws are out of the way, I’ve been focusing on cigarette butts, wrapping included, they are everywhere! The best reward to me is the moments when a kid on a school bus thanks me for helping, or people go by on bikes sending peace signs and that surfer sign (shakka) when they ride by, all of them random strangers. I’ve even had a Venezuelan woman try to pay me in order to thank me for picking up around town. It’s a nice feeling. Trash is a big issue for our waterways, what should people be more aware of? You have to change behaviors, be willing to take that extra step to bend over and toss them in the place they should be, you can even make a game out of it if you need to. Even though there are a few dispensers here and there, I still end up picking up garbage off the ground in the area around them. It all comes down to us, people need to be more aware and make the change. My family and I love coming to visit Cocoa Beach, and I want to show that by helping in any way I can. BY: Amanda Dreyer 16

Boardrider of the Month Danny Williams I have been a Florida resident for the past 3 years. This year i was invited by my cousin to come to the East coast and experience the life that Cocoa Beach has to offer. I was skeptical at first but soon realized it was mis-guided anxiety. As soon as I got here I could feel the youth energy from everyone I’ve seen. Residents skating down the street carrying a surf board headed east, that was a first for me. I had to join. Each time I went out a got a little stronger, more experienced. It was finally at our event The Easter Surf Contest, my friend Icah Wilmot, and his Wife Chrisana, helped me finally ride a wave with some elegance. Thank you all for bringing this joy to my life.

RECIPES By Misti Blu Day McDermott

@mistibluday

Banana Affair Oh, Honey! Peel one side of the banana off and make a cut going down the middle, like a hot dog bun. Stuff the banana with almond butter (peanut or cashew butter works too) and dairy-free chocolate chips. Top with coconut flakes and pop it in the oven just long enough to warm up and melt the chocolate, while toasting the coconut flakes. Top with cinnamon and drizzle with local honey to finish this mouth-watering melted banana from heaven. I tried a banana similar from the @Eatqual vegan food truck and ever since have been making my own versions. Boujee Bread Any baguette or sprouted grainy bread of your choice will work. Cut it down the middle and add a small about of Earth Balance (dairy-free) butter. Next, top with fresh raspberries (blueberries, peaches, or jam will also work) and top with brie. Warm it up in the oven until the brie melts. Top with local honey, cracked pepper and fresh basil or sage. This is the perfect sweet and savory treat that will also impress a house guest. Smoothie Bowl Blend ice with frozen berries, almond milk and acai. Make sure the consistency is thick, but I always fill the bowl and put it in the freezer to thicken it up more. When ready, use whatever you have on hand in your kitchen: top with fresh fruit, chia seeds, granola, coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, cinnamon and of course local honey. This is great to eat in the morning to start your day off but I also enjoy it in the evening instead of ice cream. Misti Blu Day McDermott www.mistibludream.com M AY 2 0 1 9

Last, but not least of our asset classes is Fixed Income. Before interest rates started stinking up the place after falling to near zero, fixed income products were popular with seniors as a safe and steady source of income. As with most investments, they go by many names but bottom line, we’re talking about debt. If you buy a bond, you’re loaning someone money. A corporate bond is a loan to that corporation and any risk is based on that company’s ability to pay the interest and eventually repay the principal. A Treasury bond is a loan to our government and is about as risk free as you can get depending on how you feel about our country. Local governments can issue municipal bonds and these come with special tax benefits. Check with a tax specialist for specifics. There’s a direct, inverse relationship between interest rates and bonds. For example, if you have a bond that yields 2% and interest rates start to climb, your bond will lose value. When other bonds are yielding 4%, your bond will look like a Yugo with three flat tires and no engine. You might resolve to hold it until maturity just to get your investment back. When interest rates go back up (and they will), that’s the best time to buy bonds. Then, when interest rates start to come back down (and they will), your bond will increase in value in addition to all the juicy interest you earn while holding it. Commissions to buy a bond are buried in the price. I’ll explain further on the website. As with anything else, the discount broker can sell you the same bond for less but they won’t hold your hand. Is there a caboose to this train of thought? Yes. Don’t buy bonds right now unless you’re prepared to hold it for the duration which could be as much as 30 years. In other news, let’s talk to our elected peeps about fixing the Indian River before it’s too late. Maybe get a little crazy and talk common sense water management.

HOROSCOPES Your season has arrived, dear Taurus! The warmth of Spring has returned and with it, a sense of new beginning. Even for how stable you are, your roots are stretching in new directions. You are now more open to examining your belief systems. Be curious, listen to others, try something new you otherwise would have never dreamed of doing before. Gemini May 21 - Jun 20 As free-flowing and adaptable as you are, Gemini, even you need time to unplug and reflect. Give yourself time to process all the inspiration flowing through you so effortlessly. Follow and stick to only that which makes you feel the most vibrant. The time will be here soon enough to share your brilliant ideas and this new inspiration with others. Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 20 Everyone thinks you only like to keep to yourself, Cancer, but you know that simply isn’t true. In fact, your understanding of human emotions are appreciated by your friends more than they may realize. If you’ve been feeling especially heavy lately, don’t hesitate to reach out to friends for support. You deserve the same love you so readily pour into others. Leo Jul 21 - Aug 22 The warmth of spring is bringing you back to life, Leo! You are feeling ambitious and the stars are supporting your drive to create. You are ready for anything fresh and enticing. If you’ve been waiting on “a sign” to pursue things to the next level, this is it! Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22 Virgo, you tend to the world and those around you with practicality and consideration. This month, let these natural qualities of yours be poured into seeing yourself as part of the greater whole. Nurture yourself with wholesome foods, rest, spend time in nature and take a moment to reflect on what this all means and where you belong among it all. Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22 You’ve been feeling something stirring within you, Libra. Your ability to see the light in others is growing your capacity to see the light of your own soul. It has been a long return back to yourself. As you grow and continue becoming comfortable with your transformation, you will see others reflect this same warmth back to you. Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 Your depths are never ending and neither is your desire to reach the core of the world around you. You are learning new ways of
