Despite two hours of discus- sion on the city’s proposed new working waterfront lease with Fisherman’s Landing Sebastian during the March 13 meeting, councilmembers could not reach a consensus about how to move forward and delayed a decision until the April 10 meeting. Several councilmembers said going into the meeting they were prepared to move forward with the lease agreement in good faith with Fisherman’s Landing Sebast- ian, a nonprofit cooperative, but comments from the public led them to be more cautious. Several commercial fishermen attended the meeting and relayed to the council that they were con- fused about the perception that they were being asked what they wanted in a working waterfront agreement. Some fishermen said they had never been asked what they wanted from representation of Fisherman’s Landing Sebastian, while others said they had casual conversations, but nothing concrete. Councilwoman Andrea Coy was quite vocal in her dismay and dis- pleasure to hear that “the fisher- men” said they had not been asked to be a part of the nonprofit’s discussions about what would be acceptable in the working waterfront lease with the city. “Good faith has gone out the window,” Councilwoman Coy said.

Approximately one year after breaking ground, the Florida Tech challenge course in Fellsmere is com- pleted and being used by the university’s Army ROTC stu- dents and soon will be used by members of the general public. “This is a fantastic venue and it seemed a perfect fit for the vision of Fellsmere,” said Fellsmere Mayor Susan Adams. The approximately 18-acre course is a joint partnership venture between the city of Fellsmere and Florida Insti- tute of Technology in Mel- bourne and the school’s Army ROTC program. The project is part of a long-range 100-acre eco-tourism effort the city planned. Designed to meet U.S. Army standards, the course is physically challenging, but also designed to promote team building and critical thinking, said Capt. Lawrence Lewis, assistant professor of military science and Florida Tech ROTC leader. With daunting elevated ropes courses, log climbs, alpine towers, cargo nets, vertical walls, sand traps, a 300-foot zip line and more, both cadets and members of the public can test their physical strengths and men- tal skills with the challenges, Capt. Lewis said. The agreement between Fellsmere and Florida Tech ROTC says the ROTC cadets have first chance at the course five months out of the year. “During the rest of the time, Florida Tech will take charge of organizing the vari- ous groups that wish to take part in the challenge course,” he said. “Law enforcement will have the opportunity to use the facility, as will church groups, corporations for retreats and team building activities and adventurous outdoor enthusiasts.” The various courses are available for rent for a mini- mum of four hours and prices are available online. Congressman Bill Posey was present at the grand opening of the challenge course on March 11, and said the project was a great exam- ple of the rare moments when federal and local gov- ernment agencies and pri- vate institutions can work together to bring about a long-lasting positive for the community. “I love to see this link between Brevard and Indian River County,” Congressman Posey said.

spoke at the meeting saidthey were opposed to thelease. They were moreconcerned that the non-profit suggested they weresought out for input,which was not the case.
Councilman Jim Hillwas the lone voice oncouncil that was still infavor of voting to move thelease forward.
The proposed lease isfor 10 years with an auto-matic 10-year renewal ifthe organization is incompliance with the lease.The lease includes per-mission for two specialevents, up to three dayslong, per year, with a cut-off time of 7 p.m.
The events were permit-ted because the purposeof Fisherman’s LandingSebastian was to raisefunds to support the com-mercial fishing industry inSebastian.
Also in the proposal, thecity would take over man-agement of the old Hurri-cane Harbor property,which currently is sub-leased to a seafood mar-ket, oversee a future ten-ant to open a smallover-the-counter seafoodeatery and advance theeducational side of theworking waterfront visionwith a fishing museum.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY— Within the past month,firefighters have been seenat the Indian River CountyFirefighters Fair, on the jobfighting serious blazes andlending a helping hand toone of their own.
Two weeks ago, an earlymorning fire consumed
the family home of ScottChnupa, a 21- year veteranof Indian River County firerescue division. All sevenmembers of the familymade it out of the housesafely, but the great major-ity of their belongingswere burned to ashes.
At press time, the causeof the fire was stillunknown.
Several individuals andorganizations have set updonation funds, gatheredclothing and other items tohelp the family recover
and begin a “new normal”phase in their lives.
At the Indian RiverCounty Firefighters Fair inVero Beach last week, raf-fle tickets were sold andthe proceeds were given tothe Chnupa family
Gene Hout, generalmanager of the Own ItNow in Vero Beach, and hiswife, Tracy, raised $4,652in the raffle for family dur-ing the fair. Winners of theraffle drawing won furni-ture sets, but one localwinner decided to give herprize to the family instead.
Toni Falk donated herprize, a living room set, tothe family, and Own It Nowalso contributed a diningroom set to help the familyget started when they arein a house of their ownagain.
Even if she didn’t have abusiness that could con-tribute something as largeas furniture, Mrs. Houtsaid this cause is one she
would want to be involvedwith anyway.
“This guy is a firefighter,
when that station bellrings, he’s the one thatgoes out there to respond.He’s a hero every day,” Mrs.Hout said.
Raising awareness whileat the firefighter’s fair wasa good way to share thecommunity’s caring fortheir own service person-nel, she said.
“They are such goodpeople. When I met them Itold them it feels like we’veknown each forever. We’vedefinitely made newfriends,” Mrs. Hout said.
Financial donations canalso be made to the Chnu-pa Family Relief Fund,courtesy of the firefightersunion, at 1818 CommerceAve., Vero Beach.
Physical donations, suchas furniture, kitchen items,bed sheets and blanketscan be dropped off for the
family at the main fire sta-tion on Old Dixie Highwayand 16th Street in VeroBeach or at Divine AnimalHospital in Vero Beach.
As is indicative of thetimes, within days of thefire, friends of the familyset up a Facebook pagesending the alert of theneeds to legions of onlinefriends and acquaintancesabout the situation.
An online donation pagehas been set up for thefamily that will remainactive through April 8.

Family starts over after devastating house fireCommunity rallies in supportBy Jessica [email protected]

VERO BEACH — VeroBeach voters answered the“to sell, or not to sell”question with a resound-ing “yes” during a specialelection last week.
The Vero Beach CityCouncil-approved refer-endum question to thepublic whether to sell themunicipal electrical utilityto Florida Power and Lightis now in the books with astamp of finality.
The election resultswere 63.75 percent forapproval of the sale and36.25 percent for rejectingthe sale. The numberswere very similar to a 2011vote on whether to leasethe power plant land toFP&L.
A big selling point of
moving to FP&L power isthat electric rates couldsee a decrease, propo-nents of the sale have said.
Currently, FP&L powerrates are about 40 percentlower than what VeroBeach electric customersare paying.
Former Vero BeachCouncilman Charlie Wil-son, who is credited forvocalizing on council theneed to pursue a sale withFP&L, was pleased withthe results.
“Last night felt more likegroundhogs day than Elec-tion Day,” Mr. Wilson saidin an email. “This is thefifth time the people havespoken. It is time the ‘nosupporters’ join with us towork together for what thepeople have recognized isa better future and lowerrates. I thank the voters for
being well informed andgetting out to vote.”
In the past few elections,city voters have chosencandidates who have saidthey are interested in get-ting out of the electric util-ity, Mr. Wilson has said.
Vero Beach City Manag-er Jim O’Connor said he isready to move forward inthe sale process.
“The vote was not unex-pected and reinforces thechallenge the city councilgave me when I was hired,and that was to bring acontract to them for thesale of the electric sys-tem,” Mr. O’Connor said inan email. “Our next stepwill be to negotiate withFlorida Municipal PowerAgency the terms and con-ditions of our exit from theAll Requirements project.”
The project serves
wholesale power to 14cities around Florida andthe municipal membersare considered owners, notjust customers of thepower system.
Finding a way to extri-cate Vero Beach from threeother power supply con-tacts has been achieved,but the large all-require-ments project has yet to benegotiated, leading somecouncilmembers andmembers of the public tobelieve it will not happen.
According to the city’slegal counsel on the saleand FP&L representatives,a closing date for the salecould occur as soon as2014.

machine home and some-one sends them email with aWord or XL documentattached and they cannotopen it.
"Isn't this thing supposedto be able to handle thesefiles already?" I often hear.
The assumption peoplemake is if they get a machinewith enough horsepower,memory and hard-drivespace, it ought to do any-thing they need it to. To adegree, that is true. But theone thing that's missing isthe software, or program, todo the job.
Programs that are installedafter Windows are loadedenhance the system andallow the computer to run atits full potential. Whatprograms we need installeddepends on the files that weare trying to open and workwith.
A lot of the files that wework with on the Internet,such as .jpg, .html and .txtfiles all will open with thebuilt-in Windows applica-tions (called "applets") butother files, such as .xls, .doc,.pdf and .ppt need programsthat specifically handle thosekinds of files.
The three-letter extensionis what identifies to thecomputer what kind of file itis, what icon to display for itand what program to use toopen it.
If the program that isrequired to open a file is notinstalled on the machine,then the file will be displayedwith a generic Windows icon.When you try to open it, thecomputer will open a screenlisting the installed applica-tions asking what programyou want to use to open it,because it doesn’t recognizethe file type.
Unfortunately, when wesee that program list, usuallywe don't have a clue what toopen it with either, for thesame reason the computergot stumped — there is noprogram installed for thattype of file.
So, that brings us back tothe beginning, with thequestion of “What programsdoes a typical computerneed installed, on top ofWindows, in order to be ableto handle most of the fileformats that everyone else inthe world is using?”
Why is it that somemachines can alreadyhandle certain files andsome machines cannot?
And, when you buy acomputer, what should youlook for as far as "bundled"software goes?
Let's take the last questionfirst and talk about "bun-dled" software. Somecomputer manufacturershave made deals withsoftware vendors to "bun-dle" their software with everycomputer they sell. They, ofcourse, get some sort ofcommission for includingthe software in with the priceof the machine. Where thingsget tricky is every computermanufacturer has a differentbundling agreement, ornone at all, so every comput-er comes with differentsoftware loaded on top ofWindows.
What that means is onecomputer bought from onemanufacturer will usuallyhave different softwareinstalled than what may beinstalled in another comput-er of the same hardwarespecs (horsepower) fromanother manufacturer.
So you've decided to get anew computer. Whatbundled software should youlook for, above and beyondWindows, that will allow youto do some of the morecommon tasks withoutgetting the dreaded"unknown file type mes-sage?"
Well, the most commonbundle that ought to beinstalled is some level ofOffice Suite.
An office suite, such as MSOffice, Open Office or evenWorks Office, is a package ofsoftware to handle Wordprocessing, spreadsheets,databases, and is a must-have for productivity.
For things such as .pdffiles, an adobe portabledocument, the Acrobatreader can be installed.Adobe Reader and OpenOffice are free and cansometimes be foundbundled with other softwareor easily downloaded fromthe Internet. But that is thesubject of another columnaltogether.

Taking a walk through history
Cliff Partlow/staff photographerThe Heritage Center in downtown Vero Beach was home to ‘A Heritage Celebration, The Indian River Story’ Thursday,March 14. In a chronological historical order, booths started at the front door with 1,200 BP, The Old Vero Ice AgeCommittee to the present. Ruth Stanbridge, charter member of the Historical Society, discusses county history withThomas Mentzinger. For more pictures, see B5.
School budget cutsThe school board needs to make major changes in order
to balance the school budget. The community was invitedto provide input Thursday night, March 7, as to where thecuts should be made or not made in order to address a $15million short fall. At this point in time, there are no easysolutions.
At the present time, the Florida legislators are meeting inTallahassee for their yearly sixty-day session. The $15 mil-lion shortfall originates in Tallahassee. School systemsthroughout Florida are facing difficult financial timesbecause Florida legislators have failed, over the years, toproperly fund public education. Tax money that wouldhave been directed to public education has been divertedto other areas such as the voucher system. The Florida leg-islators are not being held accountable for fully fundingpublic education.
The Florida legislators are fast to support the evaluationof students, schools and teachers. Now is the time to eval-uate the performance of the Florida legislators as to theirsupport of public education. The Humane Society hasbeen evaluating Congress for years as to legislation affect-ing animals. The school boards, teacher organizations,and parent associations need to evaluate the Florida legis-lators every year. A Florida Legislative Scorecard could beput together individually or collectively by the schoolboards, teacher organizations, and parent associations.
The community needs to hold the legislators account-able as to their support of public education. The FloridaLegislative Scorecard would provide the public at large asto which Florida legislators support public education. Awell-informed public will support public education. Theyouth of Florida deserve an excellent public school sys-tem.
About the gun lawsCurrently there is ongoing debate regarding the right of
an individual to keep and bear arms. President Obama,who has been a gun hater since his days as senator, is infull support of this effort.
Several other members of Congress, mainly SenatorFeinstein, have expressed a desire to severely restrict ourindividual right by outlawing certain weapon types andrestricting the number of rounds a firearm can hold. Whatthey ultimately want is to completely eliminate certainweapons, by making it illegal to manufacture, sell, possess,or even will a firearm to someone. What they won’t tell you,or admit, is that the weapons they want to ban are com-mon weapons used by law-abiding citizens in a variety ofshooting sports. Plus, they don’t admit that the weaponban previously signed into law by another gun hater, BillClinton, did not work. The problem was and remains to bethe lack of attention given towards mental health. A saneperson is not going to commit mass murder. If lawmakersseriously want to do something to reduce the possibility ofa repeat slaughter, they should focus on mental health andgang violence. The entire congress could actually work ona bill together to accomplish something. Somehow Ibelieve it will be another missed opportunity to do some-thing positive.
Nursing home neglectNursing home neglect and abuse is a problem that is
getting swept under the carpet and it should not be. Ourelderly should be treated with dignity and respect. Thereshould not even be an issue as nursing home neglect andabuse. When there are billboards and commercials askingyou if you are a victim or a family member a victim ofabuse and neglect in a nursing home, you know that this is
a very serious issue. There needs to be a crackdown on theowner, owners and corporations to make sure that thenursing facilities are fully staffed and the staff fully trainedproperly for the ones in need. The owners need to trimdown their fat paychecks for the ones in need for healthreasons. There is too much greed going on in this worldtoday. It seems to me that the nursing homes are only get-ting a slap on the wrist with fines and cited. It’s like gettinga speeding ticket, pay it and move on to the next citation.It’s not fair to the elderly and their families. The nursinghomes are supposed to be there to care for them, notabuse and neglect the residents. Abuse and neglect is acrime whether it is the children, elderly, or animals. Whyare the nursing homes getting by with this? We need hospi-tals, nursing homes, rehabs, doctors, nurses, surgeons, etc.Everyone should be in the best care possible. Need tobring all the bad nursing homes up to good. It’s the rightthing to do. Please Take action and contact state legislatorsabout putting an end to nursing home neglect and abuse.Let’s make this a better, safer, and healthier world foreveryone. We need change.
Regarding the sequesterThe federal government decided to sequester its agen-
cies and employees for an undesignated amount of timeslashing funds and salaries. This maneuver by the federalgovernment has caused outrage. I was dismayed to hearthat the government has begun to close needed recre-ational activities on our military bases. Armed forcesmembers on base are home for rest and relaxation are notallowed to work on their vehicles in their state of the artsfacility. All on base youth programs on select bases areclosed. The government feels these are necessary tools tooextravagant for our men and women returning from theirobligations and duties overseas. Many returnees havedone multiple assignments overseas, and they need thesefacilities on base for reasons such as affordability and away to vent after their treacherous assignments.
As a member of the Road to Victory Museum, it is crucialthat we contact our Congress representatives asking thatthese facilities not be slashed to the bare bones. Our menand women in our Armed forces have done so much forour country. A visit to our Road to Military Museum offOcean Blvd behind Memorial Park in Stuart will indicate toresidents and visitors the sacrifices of these brave men andwomen.
Zombies? I am starting to believe there are zombies in Barefoot
Bay. I first realized this while driving down the road. Therewas a group of what I first believed were people walkingdown the center of the road, blocking the entire lane.Thinking they did not know there was a car behind them. Ibeeped the horn. They all turned and looked at me withblank faces, and continued walking down the middle ofthe street.
I have also seen several of them near the main intersec-tion where people post signs for tag sales. They stop in themiddle of the road to write down the location of the tagsales, oblivious to the cars stuck behind them. I would nothave believed it but they can also drive golf carts, but notwell. You see them at the Winn Dixie Plaza driving downthe sidewalk, or parking the carts on the walk blocking theentrances to the businesses. I don’t think any of them aredangerous, just very ill-mannered and inconsiderate ofothers.
Golf course considerationSebastian Golf Course is a great facility with great
employees. The attached restaurant has very good foodand reasonable prices, but we’ve experienced not so greatservice, so we will not be patrons. You’d think that a restau-rant attached to a pro shop/golf course would try to caterto the golfers. Instead, we, along with our frequent winterguests, have been made to wait when it wasn’t busy,ignored, and told they don’t have any “quick” sandwiches.We have heard this from many other members and year-round golfers who refuse to use the restaurant, even for abeverage. Golfers are coming in after nine holes of golfand would like to grab a quick snack. What would bewrong with having a half dozen sandwiches made up andready in a cooler for a set price (that could be replenishedas used) and someone assigned to work the counter on adaily basis? Especially during the busy season? Theymight even make some extra money, and members andguests would sure enjoy a snack and friendly servicebefore, during or after a round. Thank you.

New management adds variety andappeal to flea market
BREVARD — Since hisfamily has taken over man-agement of the flea marketon Eau Gallie Boulevard inMelbourne, Ed Renningerwants residents to knowthat his business is aimingfor perfection.
“It’s much nicer thanwhat it was four monthsago,” he said about thebusiness he and his familytook over on Nov. 1. “We arevery dealer-friendly, whichis something we havedeveloped during a periodof 35 to 40 years. We knowthat dealers have to be suc-cessful for us to be success-ful.”
The Renningers, who ownfour other markets, withtwo in Pennsylvania and anantiques and flea market inMount Dora, said they areredeveloping the market tomake it more appealing anddealer-friendly.
“We are redoing the roofand the outside to make itmore appealing,” Mr. Ren-ninger said. “Also, the bath-rooms have been complete-
ly redone. If it isn’t goodenough for me, than it’s notgood enough for my cus-tomers.”
Mr. Renninger has alsorevamped the rent struc-ture to make it more afford-able and to attract a varietyof local vendors to enhancea customer’s experience.
“We have somewherefrom 50 to 60 new vendors,some with multiplespaces,” he said. “There is alot more variety than whatused to be here. The oldowners discouraged weeklyrents, but I think weeklyrents turn into monthlyrents.”
Renningers Flea Marketcontains several vendors,including a variety of foods,clothing and someantiques.
Mr. Renninger said onepopular vendor is a man,who sells air-plants, a formof eco-friendly gardeningthat does not require soil.
“It was funny to see himcome in there,” he said. “Hewanted to try it on a week-end, and he booked threespots a weekend on amonthly basis. There is
always a crowd around hisarea.”
For the future, Mr. Ren-ninger hopes to continue todevelop the outside areaand create a climate-con-trolled area of the market.
“I have been getting a lotof inquiries about antiques,but, with the way the mar-ket currently is, there is nota place for vendors to safelyleave expensive items,” hesaid. “With a climate con-
trolled, insulated area,there will be an availabilityfor antiques.”
Rennigners Flea Market islocated at 4835 W. Eau Gal-lie Blvd. in Melbourne.
The market is open everyFriday, Saturday and Sun-day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The market is the largestopen-air flea market on theSpace Coast.

For most of us, we domost of our gardeningoutdoors, where we
can receive lots of fresh airand sunshine. Why notbring some of that samefresh air and sunshineinside?
You can if you use livehouseplants as decorativeaccents throughout yourhome. Using houseplants todecorate your home canliven up your living spacedramatically and also as anadded bonus, they can
make your living spacehealthier!
Houseplants can havemany uses in your home.Plants can add both colorand diversity to your décor,as well as adding thehealthy benefit of being alive air filter.
There are many plants tochoose from, includingherbs. You can grow herbsright on your kitchenwindowsill and enjoy freshflavor anytime just bypinching off a few leaves.
Another great category ofindoor plants includes ivyand philodendrons. Theselovely plants can be grownas is and kept trimmed orthey can be trained to grow
on almost any trellis orother structure for aremarkably relaxing effect.These plants are easy tocare for and do not havemany insect enemies.Mainly they require water,occasional fertilizer andlots of love.
If you prefer a moreexotic look, indoor tropicalswould probably be the keyfor you. Indoor tropicalscan give your home the
Florida cottage look thatmany of us try to recreate.There are many choices tobe had including ficus,areca palms, rubber trees,marginatas and more. Mostof these plants are easy tocare for, but will require awell-lit part of the house.
Putting your house plantsin a dark corner can oftenlead to leaf drop over anextended period of time.There is a solution for this,however.
If you want to placeplants in an area that is notwell lit, buy two of the sameplant you are going to useto decorate with. Put thesecond plant in a well-litarea such as your porch andswap the plants out aboutonce a week or so. Therotation will help keep bothplants looking fresh andvibrant.
Once you start your newindoor garden project, youwill want to have all thetools necessary to maintainyour plants. You will want topurchase a small wateringcan and many of thesechoices are decorative aswell. They can add beautyas well as being functional.You will also want topurchase some water-soluble fertilizer and indoorplant insect spray for thoseoccasional pest infesta-tions.

In a town best known forits theme parks, Orlandois also home to a nirvana
of golf destinations, the Villasof Grand Cypress Golf Resort.
In addition to fabulousaccommodations, exquisitedining, a relaxing spa, tennis,two refreshing swimmingpools, a health and fitnesscenter, and plenty of activi-ties for children and adultsalike, Grand Cypress offerssome of Florida’s best golf.Not only can you play thebest tracks in Orlando, butyou can include lessons atthe Academy of Golf to getyour game on-track.
The Villas at Grand Cypressis like a home away fromhome. You can stay inanything from a suite to afour-bedroom villa. Bringjust your spouse for anintimate get-away or bringthe entire family or golf gangalong for some fun. With
most units featuring akitchen, you can truly makethis home.
The club features threenines, the North, South andEast, all originally designedand recently renovated byJack Nicklaus, and the 18-hole New Course, a Nicklausmasterpiece.
The North, South and Eastnines test your mentaltoughness and accuracyrather than your strengthand distance. They may beplayed in several combina-tions and are marked bysharply ledged fairways, tallshaggy mounds, greensperched above water andsand, and many beautiful
trees. It’s a demanding test oftarget-style golf.
To play the new course,which opened in 1988, is tostep into a world of golfunlike any other in Florida.Nicklaus’ masterpiece, builtin the midst of a rolling, openmeadow, is a tribute to theold course at St. Andrews.Complete with doublegreens, stone bridges andwalls, gorse mounds, burns,and those pesky pot bunkersas deep as 12 feet, it is acreation in the Scottish spirit.
Very little water comes intoplay on the course, but itmay be found. The interior ofthe course offers few trees,creating huge fairways andplenty of room to miss yourtarget and still have a shot. Ofcourse your wayward shotsmay find one of those deeppot bunkers, or anotherfairway, or even a moundcovered in gorse. You couldalso face a putt from well
over 100 feet if you find thewrong side of a double green.
Like all links courses, thenew course’s defense is not inits length. Without trees, butwith devilish bunkers andswirling winds, the course iswell defended. MotherNature decides just howdifficult your round will be.
In addition to a few longpar-4s, there is one thattempts you to drive the greenand yet another where tryingsuch foolishness will likelyintroduce you to the burn.
Three of the four par-5stempt you to get home intwo with a hybrid or longiron. However, that decisioncould be made for youshould you find a bunker offthe tee. Doing so can turnany hole into a par-6 orworse. I quickly learned totake my medicine and makecertain that I hit my next shotout of the bunker, even if itmeant going backwards.
At the new course, youneed not be afraid of spray-ing the ball a bit. I actually hitthe same fairway from threedifferent tees during myround. The greens are hugewith subtle undulations andare kept at a respectablespeed. In true Scottish linksfashion, you can choosemany ways to play any shot.There are times when youshould bump and run theball, and others where you’llneed to hit it high and land itsoftly. You’ll use every cluband every shot in your baghere.
As you step to the 18th teeto conclude your round, youcan picture in your mind’seye the final and first holessurrounded by bleachersfilled with fans. You can feelthe spirit of the game and allthose who have played on alinks course before. The newcourse doesn’t have thehistory of the old course, but
it has the “feel”. Best of all, it’sjust a short drive from home.
After our round wedropped by The Club, arestaurant and sports barright in the clubhouse, for anearly dinner, while catchingup on the day’s sports newsand enjoying a cold bever-age. For elegant dining theNine 18, overlooking theninth and 18th greens of theNorth and South Courses,offers fine steaks, seafoodand more.

For 34 years, the Firefighters’ Indian River County Fair has helped thosestricken by fire in Indian River County.
Each year, the midway of the Strates Show is home to some of the bestfood, rides and games found at any county fair. The sounds of children
laughing and the smell of the food always gets you in the mood tohave fun. This year’s fair included newcomers, Disc Connected K9’s, a
flying disc derby with some of the world’s most talented canines.Each year proceeds from the fair go to the Indian River County Burn
Fund, scholarships and fairground improvements.
The lights on some of therides around the midwayproduce a spectacularmovement of colors.

school’s courtyard area. “The construction of the
dome was made possible bytwo generous private donors,”Mr. Naffziger said. “A move-able, stackable stage was pur-chased and will allow the per-forming arts department toput on shows in various con-figurations, including in theround.”
Mr. Naffziger came to VeroBeach after directing in LosAngeles and couldn’t be morethrilled with his students and
their dedication to the arts.“They rise to the occasion. If
I told them we had to performthis in the parking lot, they’dsay OK. The applause is sec-ondary to them, they do thisbecause they love it,” Mr. Naf-fziger said.
The “Wonderland” charac-ters in the school’s productionwill be quite different from theDisney characters everyone isused to seeing, Mr. Naffzigersaid.
“A story like “Alice in Won-derland” reinforces the ideathat human imagination isboth amazing and somethingto never let die,” he said
The costume designs aremore modern and learntoward high fashion ratherthan cutesy and comical. The
zany personalities of the char-acters clearly shine throughwith colors, shapes and thematerials used in creation ofthe costumes.
. “Ms. Gonzalez’s creativityand originality in both make-up and costume design willonly enhance the audience’sexperience of ‘Alice in Won-derland,’” he said.
The Red Queen’s outfit takeson a fierce edge with red wiremesh coverings, evoking LadyGaga. The Tweedle brothers,instead of short and dumpy,are portrayed as tall and thinwith the help of stilts, makingit necessary to customizepants for the pair that areabout 6-feet long.
Though she graduated fromthe school in 2007, Ms. Gonza-
lez is happy to lend her talentsas the theater’s costumedesigner and stay in touchwith the performing arts at heralma mater.
“I’m a stay-at-home momand this something I love todo,” Ms. Gonzalez said.
The production of the cos-tumes happens at her home,which she admits is slowly tak-ing over her space.
“It started out in the guestroom and now it’s in abouthalf of my living room,” shesaid with a laugh.
Tickets to the musical arestill available and are $20 foradults and $10 for students.
For tickets or for more infor-mation, call (772)567-6600,Ext.235 or visit www.irchs.org.
