EDITOR’S NOTE Mentoring the Next Generation Good teachers and mentors make a difference that can last a lifetime. For local stained glass master Stanley Klopfenstine, it was his college professor Cyril “ Sonny” Directo. Through classes and a video series, Stained Glass master Stanley Klopfenstine is now sharing his techniques with the next new crop of artists. In the surfing world, John Hughes remembers local legend Dick Catri who passed away last month. Catri coached generations to competitively surf, shaped the industry, and inspired a community. Builders and craftsmen passing the baton seems to be an
overall theme this month. Keith McGrath took the reins from Eric Johnson of Treehouse Woods in our Open for Business section. On the cover, Bruce Reynolds of Nui Tiki continues the tiki tradition started by his mentor Wayne Coombs. No June issue would be complete without a mention of Father’s Day. My dad has been one of the biggest mentors in my life. Only a phone call away, he’s always ready to listen, give advice or unsolicited stock tips. Thank you to all the dads and fatherly figures out there who’ve inspired us to do and be our best for the next generation.
Best Regards, Natalie Palmadesso

3ON THE COVER Our cover this month features local artisan Bruce Best of Nui Tiki. He’s pictured scorching highlighting into a tiki installed at the Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier. Bruce is a Cocoa Beach resident artist with several tikis around town. The Pier is committed to utilizing local builders and artists to help retain the local vibe of Cocoa Beach. They’ve employed several different local companies and artisans to renovate the Rikki Tiki Tavern. You can find Bruce’s art at Nuitiki.com. Thank you to Andrew Grohal for providing the cover photo.
COMING UP NEXT... JULY 2017 - THE MUSIC ISSUE May you always have a song in your heart and a lemon slice in your ice tea. Maybe it’s the weather but something about living outside most of the year demands tunes. In this issue, we’ll cover the locals who bring music to Brevard. From marching bands to orchestras to big hair bands, we’ll write about the people who make the Space Coast sing.

people that bring the best out in you and enlarging your world. We live in an ever expanding universe. All of it is trying to get away from Chuck Norris.
Cancer
Career success makes Cappies happy. You will be very happy this month with career so don’t let disagreements with siblings spoil it. If at first you don’t succeed, you’re not Chuck Norris.
You will develop ideas that will serve you well as long as you work toward making them a reality. Speaking of reality, little known fact, Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice. You’re working on finding balance in your life and your social life. Physical activity and working hard as part of a team are favored. Fun fact: Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.
Leo You’re on the right track but don’t let
others change your schedule. You know what you’re doing. Don’t worry about mistakes. Did you know that Chuck Norris’s computer has no backspace button. Chuck Norris doesn’t make mistakes.
Virgo
There are a few obstacles in your way but you’ve got the power to overcome them, don’t worry. Chuck Norris is a problem solver too. Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.
Libra
Work takes precedence over family and social needs this month. However, your success in the world depends on harmony at home. Chuck Norris’ home has no doors only walls he walks through.
Scorpio
Work well with others to achieve your goals. Cutaway low-value time wasters that don’t enrich your day. Speaking of time, Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch. He decides what time it is.

Capricorn Aquarius
Collaboration is important and let others lead every once in awhile. You’ll feel optimistic and vivacious after being recognized at work for your teamwork. There is in fact an ‘I’ in Norris, but there is no ‘team’. Not even close.
Pisces
Family matters will be on your mind this month. Keep a calm in family and career issues. Relax and read a book on the beach to get our of your own head. Chuck Norris doesn’t read books. He starts them down until he gets the information he wants.
Aries
Personal and family issues will be more important that work and demand attention. Don’t worry as long as you keep a cool head. Business will prosper and chances for advancements are excellent. Keep your eye on your money. When Chuck Norris does division, there are no remainders.
Taurus
Taurus are hard workers but creative problem-solving will help you reach your goals. You’ll be expanding your knowledge basis through projects. Remember, some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas. Be like Chuck.

Dynamic Wood Creations in the Treehouse Woods Complex
College to Career
Feel free to ask Keith MacGrath the time. He has about 20 handcrafted clocks throughout the shop. One each more beautiful than the next, these modern art masterpieces belong more in a museum than a woodshop.
Keith initially wanted to be a graphic designer. He soon realized he preferred to work with his hands. He got a job at Quick Stone Studios that got him involved in woodworking, especially clocks. Some of his first projects were things like the splat box. A jewelry box-sized wooden treasure that looks like a splash of wood melted on top of the box. “I joke with the customers and tell them I had to get thewood really hot to melt it like that.”
Starving Artist to Kitchen Magician As a starving artist, Keith made clocks, but to feed himself he went to the kitchen. Keith installed kitchens for 16 years. “I just focused on installation, I was the kitchen magician. We’d go in there, finish them up, and never get a callback. Get it done and get it done right.” Precise placement helped all the other trades follow their work after the kitchen. The countertop fits perfectly because the installers carefully measured. Keith
installed thousands and thousands of kitchens from Titusville to Cocoa Beach.
Off the Road Keith worked for Treehouse years ago and recently received an offer to take over the shop. Owner Eric Johnson is moving to Massachusetts. He wants to keep the doors open but needs someone to run it. “What a great blessing it is that he called me. I’m very grateful. Going from kitchens to running a woodshop is a nice change.”
New Projects Keith will continue Eric’s tradition of repairing local treasures. Currently, he’s restoring a 100-year-old rocking chair. “The back snapped. I’m replacing parts and gluing them back together.” Both large and small projects are welcome. “If it can be made out of wood and even if it can’t, we’ll make it happen.”
Treehouse Woods Complex located at 112 North Brevard Avenue in Cocoa Beach. For more information call 321-591-4323. J U N E 2 0 17

AD ASTRA (To the Stars) Space is big. So big, in fact, that the only way to know its size is through long, headache-inducing mathematical equations.
Space is so vast that the only way to know its size is through long, headache-inducing mathematical equations. Sending humans into space requires constant herculean efforts from the international community. Millions of hours executed precisely by tens of thousands of individuals from around the globe. People who have devoted careers to the success of placing individuals into that void, and then bring them home. Meet Jeremiah McClellan, a Systems, Integration, and Test Engineer. He’s one of the tens of thousands of individuals making manned deep-spaceflight possible. Jeremiah, who has worked at Lockheed Martin for eight years, has been a part of their Space Systems division for two years. Contracted by NASA, Lockheed Martin

Space Systems is building the Orion Crew Capsule and Crew Module Adapter. The adapter will be used to connect the Crew Module to the European Space Agency’s Service Module. The capsule and service module will then be stacked atop NASA’s newest rocket design as the Space Launch System (SLS). Fancy titles and acronyms aside, what Jeremiah and his co-workers do is determine the “feasibility of build.” That means if a design seems workable then it’s passed on to the shop floor. The job involves a lot of math and reviews. Once a design is approved, someone like Jeremiah plans out the build. When enough of these come together, you get a brand new, human-rated capsule, ready to make history.
Jeremiah says it’s the manned aspect of spaceflight that excites him the most. He’s helping build something that will ferry humans further than ever before, and that makes the long, stressful hours worthwhile. As a self-professed Star Trek fan, human spaceflight are never far from his mind. However, Jeremiah wishes the American public understood more about NASA’s ongoing mission. He’s met plenty of tourists who thought NASA was “closed,” or that rockets and astronauts weren’t a thing anymore. Fingers crossed for 2019 when we’ll see the first full test launch of the Orion Crew Capsule and SLS from KSC. Jeremiah, and his associates will hopefully see the result of their hard work and dedication launch toward the stars.
M A D E B E AC H S I D E Jason Judge is the JJ behind JJ’s Printing and Embroidery. The name might not be familiar, but you probably own something he’s printed. The company has been locally owned and operated since 1971. Captain Clark Giangarra from Indian River Lagoon Wildlife Tours founded the company, and he trained Jason to take over the business 10 years ago.
How did you get into screenprinting and embroidery? Clark Giangarra is one of my dad’s best friends. One day I jokingly told him if he ever wanted to sell it to give me a shout. He did, and it all started from there.
What kind of training did you undertake? I worked with him for the first year, and he taught me the basic ins and outs. The rest has been on-the-job training. I worked my way up. Every year as we’ve added employees, each one has brought something new to the table.
What do you make? We make t-shirts, embroidered items, promotional products. The majority of what we do in-house is screen printing or embroidered items.
Most interesting or unique thing you’ve made? We can make 10,000 shirts in a week.
JJ’s Screen Printing & Embroidery is located at 598 Sherwood Avenue in Satellite Beach. For more information call 321-777-6328 or visit their Facebook page.
The Historic Cocoa Beach Pier’s former Mai Tiki Bar damaged in Hurricane Matthew has been rebuilt into the Rikki Tiki Tavern. The ribbon cutting ceremony in May marked an end to the project that so many worked hard to achieve. Bruce Best of Nui Tiki, the skilled laborer on our cover collaborated with a group of mostly locals to refresh and rebuild the restaurant. He worked together with Scott McCauley, President of Big Kahuna Tiki Huts on much of the artwork and tikis.
How were you chosen for the project? Rick Lohr is the general manager for the pier property and pushed for the project to be local. Scott brought me to work on the tikis.
What did you work on? I did all the tikis and was given free reign on color and design. On the Westgate property, I have 32 tiki’s total. 22 of the are on the Rikki Tiki Tavern. 2 - 16’ archway (these guys took 5 of us to lift this two faced pole) 12 - Load bearing and 6- Bar tiki’s I also created two south pacific light poles as well
Who built the building? The main building was built by Big Kahuna Tiki Huts out of Cape Canaveral. Scott is the owner, and he contracts me to assist in artwork for large and small projects.
Who else worked on the project? The work on the new tavern project was completed almost exclusively by Cocoa Beach businesses, including Big Kahuna Tiki Huts, Haddow Construction, Holt Electric, Kabran Air Conditioning & Heating, NuiTiki and Vincent Plumbing.
How did you all work together? I believe everyone worked very well as the project came together.
The new Rikki Tiki Tavern serves an array of menu options including appetizers such as crab and seafood dip, sandwiches, and desserts. The Tavern offers a variety of beverages, including signature cocktails. The Cocoa Beach Pier is located at 401 Meade Ave in Cocoa Beach. It’s open from 7am- 10pm.

Precious the cat, listed in
last month’s issue, has been adopted. Tracy Abbott brought her home after her beloved cat of 17 years passed away. Precious (now known as Monkey) is adjusting well and nearly spoiled. Most days she can be found perched on the back window gazing at the yard. She also likes shoes and curling up in them. Many thanks to the Brevard Humane Society, its volunteers, and supporters for helping animals find loving homes like this one. J U N E 2 0 17

Bugnutty Brewing Company Nestled at the corner of Courtenay Parkway and Richland Ave is Merritt Island’s own microbrewery. Bugnutty Brewery is co-owned by Steve Shannon, Shawn Lynch, and Jon Sheldon. The small but cozy tap room’s high ceilings give the building depth and character. The array of IPAs, pale ales, stouts, and pilsners ensures a brew to suit you.
How many beers do you have on tap?
Why do you call it Bugnutty?
What the most surprising thing about opening a brewery?
Jon- I worked for another brewery and the guy who ran it drove me bug-nutty.
What made you decide to go into business? Shawn- My wife told me I couldn’t stay at home after I retired. I had to do something with my day. I like craft beer. Over several pints one day we decided that we could do this.
What’s your most unique beer? I think the Key Lime Pie is the most creative. It tastes like Key Lime Pie when you drink it. The grains we use give it that graham cracker taste at the end. It’s tart and sweet.
Jon- We range from 10 to 16 beers. We’re constantly learning new things. I try to come up with a new flavor every quarter. The Russian imperial stout, Sputnik-- that’s a new one.
Jon- It’s surprising how little of the work is actual brewing. When you open a brewery, you think you’ll make beer all day when it’s actually 10 or 15% what you do. It’s the paperwork, the regulations, the marketing and other stuff. Making the beer our favorite part. On days where you’re actually making beer, you find a lot of time between dishes and moving batches. It’s different than a typical day when you’re moving from task to task. Shawn-The first year of opening a brewery you get a list of ‘you know what you should do’ from everyone we met. We thought about selling shirts that read “you know what you should do…’ with…’start a brewery’ on the back.
Bugnutty Brewing Company is located at 715 N Courtenay Pkwy in Merritt Island. Find out more at bugnutty.com or their Facebook page.

Cocoa Beach Oysters Years ago, Cocoa Beach oysters were edible and easily found on the seawall or any fixed surface. “By the time I was out of diapers, you could not only eat the oysters, but there were no oysters left.” Now there are little to no naturally-occurring oysters in the Banana River. “I’d pay someone $100 to show me a clump of live oysters in the Banana River that wasn’t put there by humans.”
The Lagoon of Yesteryear When Alex was in his teens and early 20s, all the clams disappeared from the Banana and Indian Rivers Mosquito Lagoon. “There may be a few in the Mosquito Lagoon or Indian, but in the Banana River, they’re completely gone. Over my lifetime, we’ve seen many types of key species
reduce.” Clams are foundations of the lagoon’s entire web of life, not just for cover but also for filtration. Alex recalls stretches from 520 to 528 in the Banana that used to be grass on the east side all the way to the west.
Making a Difference Thankfully, people can make a difference. “We caused this, and we can change it. It’s regardless of the sales tax that helps dredge or anything else.” Alex believes it’s as simple as changing public perception. Not only for the people on canals but citizens east of 95. It can be as simple as maintaining your yard in a healthy manner that doesn’t hurt the environment. These small things that we can do on a daily level help change the face of the lagoon. “If you want that instant gratification, go take a walk
L O C A L L I N E S G U I D E S E R V I C E C A P TA I N A L E X G O R I C H K Y
by the water and bring a bag with you. I guarantee you’re going to find garbage.” Local elected officials are also critical to restoring the lagoon. “Our county commissioners decide development. You should know if they want a nice stormwater reclamation for this development or a retention pond that overfills and pours into the river.” The local government are the decisions-makers who in the long run will change the face of the lagoon. Alex is quick to note that the lagoon is resilient. “After the fish kill, within hours there was bait and fish moving back in. The crab population spiked, of coursethey were coming to get all the dead fish.” Nature wants to find a way to heal.
No Wave Zone
Many people don’t know that the lagoon is 100% non-tidal. The lack of a true tide means that
pollutants stay put. “The lagoon is no longer lined with mangrove swamps; they’re lined by septic and towns and sewer problems. You need to have a tide to flush out the system.” The lagoon also has very little flow with the wind between the three bodies of water. The dirt berm causeways provide additional problems. “The physical berm inhibits what little exchange of water we had naturally.”
Filters Removed The reduction of mangroves and grasses also removed a natural filtration system. “We took the land that processed that runoff through the mangrove swamps and turned them into neighborhoods.” Even the most simple baffle boxes can get rid of large debris or oil. Also, few storm drains are fitted with any kind of abatement
or filtering system. “The guy who’s driving the old leaky car, the next time it rains that oil is all going into the river. There’s no stop gap in between.”
Be Involved and Educate Yourself Captain Alex was a vocal advocate for the lagoon during the fish kill last year. He believes that the silver lining to the fish kill is that more people are aware of the lagoon’s health. “People didn’t understand. You look at the water, and it’s a beautiful vista. But you fail to look into the water and see what’s going on under it.”

RESI D ENTOFTH EMONTH
David Rothman newest mural covers the northside of Coconut’s Fresh Market. Tucked away from street traffic and slightly off the tourist-beaten track, Rothman’s mermaid awaits your careful gaze. Rothman has literally painted the town. In a few short years, his mural resume has swelled to both inside and outside several local businesses. The buildings encased in fine art, are more than simply service-based businesses but now destinations in their own right.
Concept to Concrete The path from concept to concrete wall is a relatively short one according to Rothman. After he drafts a mock-up the client and city approve of his designs. Once he begins painting it takes about a week to spray and free hand paint.
Perspective is Key Rothman chose the underneath perspective to focus on the mermaid’s point of view. “If I put the bottom of the boat too large you wouldn’t be able to see him in there.” Rothman was careful to include the fisherman but ultimately wanted the mermaid to be the larger figure.

The Mural’s Message Rothman channels themes of ecosystem preservation into much of his work. There’s a balance between the masculine and feminine energies and a sense of romanticism in the piece. “I wanted to be playful too. It’s Coconuts.” The grouper in the mural are spawning symbolizing rebirth and the circle of life within the ecosystem. “The reef may die in an area, but it regrows somewhere else. The sandbar moves. Nature is constantly changing and evolving.”
Artist in Residence Murals are building momentum and people are becoming more receptive to them. “As long as it’s approved and classic, not risque or pushing anyone’s buttons, it just adds to the downtown and the experience for all the tourists.” Rothman believes that thriving family-owned local businesses give a downtown its character. He feels that they can grow with the Westgates and
other big corporations as long as there is a healthy balance. “I feel that there’s a big pull to keep it local and keep the ecosystem intact. If I can be a part of that in any way, I’d like to support it.”
Changes Afoot The biggest change Rothman has noticed through the years is the is the influx of culture from Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville. “Cocoa Beach has always danced around that. At first, it was all the people from the the Air Force base and all these bars and restaurants accommodated. Tourism is developing a wider scope of culture. People are more respective to different perspectives.” Rothman believes he’s simply an art teacher who’d like to do more. He’d like to be part of the positive change and use his skill in talent to help the city he loves. He’s definitely having a profound effect on the town, one mural at a time.

FISH I N GR E PORTS Inshore Report
Offshore Report
By Capt. Jamie Glasner
Summer is officially here, and so are the fish. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed with the weather this month. This has to be by far one of my favorite times of the year to fish, with multiple species to target. Amberjack, grouper, mangrove snapper, triggerfish, sea bass, kingfish, and red snapper have all been plentiful out deep sea on our bottom fishing trips. The snook bite goes off also during the summer months as they start to spawn in all the inlets to the south of us. My favorite one to fish is the St. Lucie inlet. The snook gets so thick there that it is like fishing out of a bathtub. The best bait are live sardines and greenies and threadfins. Just make sure you have plenty of saki rigs to catch your bait. The trout and

It’s almost as good as it gets in June. May was a great month and the fish started to turn on. From the reefs to offshore has been good. There was a solid few days of great catches of mahi. Many fish have been caught from 140-180 feet and some days past 500 feet. It’s just a day-to-day thing and up to the winds and weather as usual. The basic ballyhoo rigs and skirts have been the key. There was a lot of wahoo caught
redfish bite has also been good in the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon.

recently and more to come in this month. Bottom fishing has also been decent. I wish grouper would continue but usually once they open the season they disappear. Pinfish is a great bait for them, as are croakers. Fish the offshore reefs such as 21 and 27. If you have any of the wrecks that’s a good start too. Don’t forget about the amberjack. They’ve been great and should continue as well. Just gonna be a great month!

His company is FishEye Aquaculture, located near Dade City. Jonathan raises ornamental tropical fish for the aquarium trade. There are about 100 ornamental aquaculture businesses in Florida, and they account for about $30,000,000 of aquaculture’s yearly sales. Like offshore fishing, aquaculture is highly regulated. Jonathan related a story about a Floridian trying to set up an offshore fish farm on the Atlantic coast. Due to regulations, he couldn’t make a profit. However, an Asian company that was not under US regulations was able to operate profitably in the same location. These rules make the food we consume safer for us and the environment. However, it comes at a monetary cost. The advantages for farmed seafood include job creation, revenue, and encouraging local investment. Aquaculture helps to supply a reliable source of seafood and reduce the pressure on wild-caught species. The need for clean water for aquaculture draws attention to the need for good coastal management.
Studying farmed species also gains valuable information that may translate into better management of both farmed and wild species. Finally, Jonathan Foster pointed out that “as the world population grows, aquaculture is likely the only way to sustainably source aquatic food.” Cons for aquaculture are possible poorly-managed facilities.These mismanaged facilities can create water pollution and damage to coastal ecosystems such as mangroves and salt marshes. Also, the use of pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones can pass chemicals on to consumers. Farm-raised organisms may escape diseases that their wild counterparts. But their compromised immunity-DNA could contaminate wild species. The best thing to do as a consumer is educate yourself. Read package labels carefully. Select species that are locally caught when possible. Go to the app store and download the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s smartphone app, Seafood Watch. Look for seafood choices that are good for you and the environment.
FLASU R F By John Hughes
The Greatness Within Dick Catri passed away on May 15. Dick made an indelible mark on the surfing world. He was a pioneer, a visionary, and an unrivaled promoter of Florida and East Coast surfing. At times, he was also a pirate and a scalawag. He was idolized by many and resented by some, which is often the fate of greatness. Dick first came to the Space Coast, specifically Melbourne Beach. After a pilgrimage to the North Shore of Hawaii, he was one of the early pioneers of the fearsome waves of Waimea and Pipeline. He befriended many surfers who became legends. He brought these experiences back to Florida and began creating his own legends. At the time, Florida and the East Coast were considered to be surfing backwaters, devoid of good surf or talented surfers. Dick quickly assembled a collection of high school kids and groomed them into the most formidable surf team on the East Coast. Dick’s message to them was that they didn’t need great waves to be the best. The best was in each of them. Dick’s kids, first known as The Surfboards Hawaii team--later known as the Hobie Team. They entered every
surf contest on the East Coast they could find and brought back nearly every trophy. But his purpose was not conquer tournaments but also leading by example. He told young surfers, “See what we have accomplished? You can do it too.” So they did just that. Gary Propper, Mike Tabeling, Mimi Monroe, Jeff Crawford, Matt Kechele, Todd Holland, Kelly Slater and a nearly endless roster of East Coast surfers owe a debt of gratitude to Dick Catri’s vision. His influence on the surfing industry was profound. Hobie’s Gary Propper model is the best selling signature label in history with 6,000 were sold. Dick, along with his partner John Griffin, organized what became the Easter Surfing Festival. He fought to open Sebastian Inlet to surfing, and it later became a state park. Dick Catri was inducted into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame in 1996. His many accomplishments are too numerous to be contained in a short form. Ultimately, his legacy will be how he inspired others to see the greatness in themselves.
Aloha O’E, Dick Catri

Apprentice to Master
His innovative techniques are documented in a video series called the “Stanley K. Way”, HGTVs “Modern Masters and several articles. Stanley’s stained glass is in the Detroit Hard Rock Cafe, a few theme parks and restored churches in nearly every state.
Stanley Klopfinstine always wanted to be an artist. He got his wish and more as a classically-trained stained glass master.
“I thought I was a great artist till I got to art school.” After earning his GED, Stanley attended the Kansas City Art school for a semester and a class taught by Cyril “ Sonny” Directo. The
Early Years
professor taught him color theory and how to draw from his imagination using Greek mythology. “People tell me what they want to see and I can translate that on the page thanks to my teacher.”
Start of an Art Career After art school, Stanley found a job at Hopcroft Stained Glass in Kansas City, Missouri. The studio’s European master, Ronald Neil Dixon, needed an apprentice. After a cursory glance of Stanley’s portfolio, he said, “You’re too

glass at the same rate throughout the whole piece of glass you won’t have a problem.” Since then he’s shipped his specialty kilns to customers all over the world.
Stained Glass
Too Old to Learn
Stained Glass projects start with a gridded plan, pattern, or drawing. Shapes are cut from the glass. The colors of paint are created from powders such as cobalt and heavy metal oxides mixed with water. Most people mix it with some gum or oil. Then the heat from the kiln seals in the color. “That’s why it’s called stained glass; you’re literally staining the glass. A lot of people don’t get the connection.”
Stanley learned to play the guitar in his 70s after someone told him he was too old. He then designed and built a stained glass electric guitar. He made his first guitar out of Padauk wood, and it was twice as thick as a traditional one. Everyone told him it would be too heavy. Since sound travels on air, he just added more holes. Though Stanley admits his guitars are not as loud as a standard guitar, they have a nice, almost a harp-like quality. “You hear the strings more.” Several professional musicians collect his guitars, including a parrot-head version owned by Jimmy Buffett.
Kiln Inventor Necessity turned Stanley into an inventor. Most kilns can only fire once a day; his fires five times. “I asked, (an engineer at Corning Corporation) how can you pull something out of the freezer and pop it in the oven without it shattering?” The engineer didn’t give away any trade secrets but did provide a hint. “He told me if you can heat and cool the
Master to Mentor Stanley has taught hundreds of people his techniques and mentored a few artists who owe their career to him. His apprentice Bob James trained
with Stanley for the last five years and has taken over the studio. Stanley, now semi-retired, is ready to work on his interests. “I spent 53 years working for everyone else. Now I want to work on my own projects.”

ALBU MR EVI EWS By M.Alberto Rivera
Jump Ramp – The EP Jump Ramp
Independent Release, 2017 Titusville’s own Jump Ramp has released this foursong EP that clocks in at less than eight minutes. “Acid Drop” is compelling and six types of great. It sounds like 1984 thrash metal at its finest. The four songs are the perfect soundtrack for an asphalt grind workout in the parking lot. Just make sure your tape deck has auto reverse.
Two Devils Will Talk The Real McKenzies
Fat Wreck Chords, 2017 The Real McKenzies have been at this Celtic Punk thing for 25 years now. Much like AC/DC (pre-Axl) and Motörhead, there is a reliable consistency that sounds familiar. Driven songs boasting of bravado, sailing, drinking, and all done with lots of bagpipes and attitude. This album is bare-knuckled poetry by the sort of men who would normally scoff at that sort of thing, but poetic nonetheless.This disc is dirty, sweet, and within your reach as the band is on tour once more.

HONEY MILLER BAND – LOCAL BOX OFFICE SENSATION By Cheryl Bartoszek
“Amongst the Boxes,” Honey Miller’s new full-length album, was unleashed to standing ovations two evenings last month at the King Center’s Studio Theatre. Few seats were empty in the house each night while the seven-member band belted out 17 original tunes. A pair of percussionists drummed while two front women kept rhythm on bass and acoustic guitars. A lone violinist added timbre and resonance. Conducting the band was Marvin Parish, rhythm and lead guitarist extraordinaire lyricist and producer of “Amongst the Boxes.”

RECI PEOFTH EMONTH By Samantha Deeble
Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful, awesome dads and stepdads this month. The menu is quite easy and self- explanatory but make the filling a day ahead, it improves the flavor and leaves more time to enjoy your dad’s company on Father’s Day!
Father’s Day Dinner Green Garden Salad with blue cheese crumbles, balsamic vinegar, and oil for dressing Steamed Peas Corn on the Cob Steak and Guinness Pie Fresh sliced peaches with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream
Steak and Guinness Pie 1 lb top round or top sirloin grass fed beef cut into 1-inch cubes and trim off the fatty bits 2 pinches of salt 1 pinch of black pepper 1 pinch of nutmeg 2 tablespoons unbleached white flour 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups chopped onion, white, yellow, or sweet Vidalia 3 cloves garlic, chopped 3 1/2 cups red or Yukon potatoes cubed into 1/4 inch pieces 2 cups thin-sliced carrots 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomato 24 oz. of Guinness beer 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce 1 cup chopped mushrooms 2 tablespoons thyme, fresh preferably 1/2 cup fresh parsley 3-4 packages ready-made pie crust, depending on size of package, not pie crust in a pan use ready-made because this is for 12-inch pie or 3-quart dish

flour. Fry in a deep skillet with the olive oil on high, heat to brown and crisp the meat. When the meat is done, set aside on a plate but leave the pan drippings. Turn down the heat and add the butter, onions, and garlic and saute until they are clear. Combine the potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes. Stir to simmer then add the Guinness, thyme, Worcestershire, and mushrooms. Turn the heat to low and let simmer for one hour until it thickens like a stew. Stir occasionally. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper. Mix in the parsley. Refrigerate overnight in a covered dish. To assemble the pie, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll out the pie crust and line a 12-inch pie pan or a rectangular 3-quart dish, about 1/8 inch thick. Fill with the stew and then roll out the top crust or divide the filling into two ready-made pie crusts. Place extra crust on top and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits on the top. Bake for 10 minutes and then turn down the oven to 350 degrees. Then bake for an additional 40 minutes until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Make sure you put foil on the rack or a baking sheet under the pie while it’s baking. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
