When I first came to Cocoa Beach, my office started out in the old auto body shop on the corner of Brevard and Min-utemen in Downtown. It was 2010, and I had just got out of the Marine Corps and found myself in Cocoa Beach beginning the exciting venture of small business owner-ship. Wayne’s Mai Tiki studio was just a cou-ple hundred feet from there. I had rented the lot between both of our properties and we used to host events there. Wayne spoke of the alley behind our businesses and how he thought it really could be something. I agreed with him.

Wayne was a large man, some would say a giant. With this I also agree. He had a great hand shake and when he spoke you became immediately interested

in what he was talking about. Sometimes a distinct aroma would come out of his gallery…

He might say something along the lines of, “Like my cologne?” with squinty eyes and a cheeky smile. He had spent so much time at Mai Tiki that he had trained the curly tail lizards to eat from his hand.

Wayne and his wife Beki had spent over 40 years supporting the art community and it made me really think about how much someone had to love to do something to do it for 40 years. Wayne’s impact was s i g n i f i c a nt . You see his art w o r l d w i d e , and locally you see it at some pretty iconic place like the end of Minutemen Causeway leading into the beach, Coconuts on the Beach, Cocoa Beach Surf Company, the Cocoa Beach Pier, Sandbar, Ron Jon’s, the welcome sign for Cocoa Beach, and of course at Mai Tiki Mar-ket, just to name a few.

My relationship with Wayne was very short. He passed away on the street corner next to the Mai Tiki property on September 4th, 2012. In the short amount of time we spent together before his death I

learned so much about him and his family, and how he had such a posi-tive impact on the com-munity and the people that surrounded him. Seeing this and wanting to make sure it continued for years to come, I made the decision to take own-ership of Mai Tiki and carry on Wayne’s legacy.

This month we invite you to come to Mai Tiki Market in Downtown

Cocoa Beach during the Cocoa Beach Art Show where we will be hosting the ribbon cutting for Wayne Coombs Way, the

newly renamed section of Bur-ris Alley directly behind Mai Tiki Market. Please come join this celebration to honor the tiki carving legend. There will be live music, food and fun for all. For more information check out our Facebook or like Mai Tiki Market on Facebook to get more details.

I think Wayne would be excited about the future of

W a y n e C o o m b s Way. It has some great

businesses on that street: Roberto’s, The Tiny Turtle, Wahoo Coffee, Hair Biz, The Fat Donkey, Rick Piper’s Big Art Studio, Nui Tiki, Coastal Produce and more to come. It is a family friendly environ-ment where you can enjoy art and hopefully get inspired to create some on your own or maybe buy locally.

All and all I think Wayne would be happy... He always had a grin to spare. This one’s for you, Wayno.

I was one of the 2,700 runners in the “I Dream of Jeannie”- themed Cocoa Beach Half Mara-thon which took place on October 25, 2015. This article was written four hours after the end of the marathon with fresh remembrances and sore toes.

Here is a brief description of the event and what to expect in general when you’re “half marathoning.”

Marathon Shyness I got a little “first day in kindergarten” jitters as soon as I got off the shuttle and realized I’d be alone. I was soon distracted by various Jeannie impersonators, tutus and even someone dressed like Princess Leia. It’s impressive that these costumes can be both beau-tiful and function as running gear. Everyone com-plimented each other’s designs or outfit choices. Marathoners are traditionally a friendly bunch and my shyness soon evaporated. A few miles in, strang-ers were chatting like old friends.

Grumble GrumbleThe first mile coasts by on a cloud. The sun is rising, the smell of coconut sunblock in the air, and the day is full of hope. A1A Northbound car traffic enter-tained by the spectacle tried to motivate us south-bound runners. Drivers honked horns or turned up their radios for inspiration as they drove by. One guy blasted “Eye of the Tiger” and cracked up the group of tutu adorned women. The “Rocky” theme song played in my head and plastered a smile on my face for a few miles. Cocoa Beach residents lined the road and sat in lawn chairs and cheered us on.

My group was impressed with the brave photog-rapher who hung his head out of the belltower at Club Zion. We figured we should reward his brav-ery with some fast footwork. There was a talented singer in front of Taco City who serenaded us and passersby stood outside and cheered.

By mile four or five the glucose from breakfast had burned off. My stomach growled and a slice of post-run pizza sounded great. It became noticeable that treadmill miles and road mileage weren’t the same and 13.1 miles felt far. My lungs burned. The wrong socks cut my heels and my ankles hurt.

The Mystique of a Half Marathon Full of Jeannie’s

Anonymous Runner

continues on next page

Runner’s High

After I drank a few runner’s gels, called Clif Shots (picture jelly from a jelly-filled donut) my feet felt lighter. A mile snuck by me because someone was chatting about the mysterious red light on the Cape Building. Past mile eight I was in a zone. Legs were on autopilot and I realized that we humans were meant to run.

Triumphant Victory

After passing through the tiki path on the beach and past Coconuts, the last leg was upon us. There were more signs. “You’re almost there” and “Sweat is sexy” assured me that people who came out to cele-brate their loved ones victory were cheering for everyone. The last three miles in the home stretch were a victory lap. I passed recent champs with flower leis and medals around their necks and wanted to join their club. I crossed the finish line with kindhearted people on the sidelines who scanned my four digit bib number and cheered me by name.

When you mention a half marathon the first thing people say is, ”I could never do that.” The truth is anyone who trains and is in reasonably good health can run one. From Olympic hopefuls or might-have-beens to grandmas who recently started running, we all run together. We all completed the same test of will and stamina. All striving for the same “I Dream of Jeannie” purple lamp medal, but we all had our own reason to run. Some ran to win and others to set or improve their PR (personal record). Some run to celebrate a sec-ond chance at life or to remember someone they lost. The rest may run for the pure joy of it with no interest in a specific time. We ran the same path but we’re each on our own quest. We reached our goals separately as individuals but we run together.

I was nervous when I discov-ered the brunette. I was grate-ful when I realized it was only a dead squirrel and not a toupee with a person attached.

All homes have a history and their previous owners sometimes fall behind in their yardwork. Floridian yards can blossom into tropical rainforests faster than you can say “first and last months’ rent.” Buried organic and inor-ganic underground packages can cause unforeseen consequences. Plants can fail to root if blocked by underground impediments. Grass can fail to thrive where, for example, socks have been buried. I once found dozens of men’s tube socks buried randomly in flowerbeds and bare spots in the yard. I don’t know if a busy dog buried them like soup bones or if my home was once a soccer field. Gloves should always be worn since we never know what’s bur-ied below.

Spear of DenialOur tree-filled backyard once sported an unexpected

surprise. We were getting ready for company when my husband decided he’d dig up a trouble-some root that we’d both been avoiding for months. We were surprised to discover it was actually a rusty, sharp, wrought-iron plant trellis. We removed it before anyone was hurt.

A Colorful Mystery

A friend of mine had the green-est of thumbs and the health-iest azaleas on the block until the third year. Suddenly her hedge of Formosa azaleas had two plants in rapid decline. The bushes dropped their leaves and shrank overnight. Her husband was convinced an unseen insect or disease affected the bushes and would spread to the others. He pulled up the shrubs only to discover paint buckets attached to the roots. Someone years ago lost track of the paint and “time capsuled” it in five feet of dirt. My friend wasn’t sure if the roots broke through the can or if

the rusty buckets gave out. They luckily solved the mystery and prevented further contamina-tion in their yard.

Indiana Jones and the Ankle

Breakers of DoomStepping stones are cute and can add whimsy to a yard. Over the years though rainstorms and plant growth can camouflage and bury stones under your yard and transform them into ankle twisters. Seldom traveled areas can swallow these cement “tripwires” fairly quickly. Pav-ers under eight inches of dirt makes the soil ripple when you walk over them. Treading on them feels like stumbling on a semi-deflated pool raft. We excavated our yard in sections and felt like archaeologists on a dig. Each stone crumbed under the pressure. We ended up removing several weekends worth of rubble.

How can you solve your yard mysteries? Before you dig call 811. 811 connects you with your local utilities to ensure you’re not digging up telephone or cable lines. The local utilities will send a workman to iden-tify and mark your telephone, cable, sewer and electrical lines. After you confirm it’s safe to dig, contact your local Master Gar-deners for soil test instructions. Your local County Extension Office can provide resources to transform your yard from “Tem-ple of Doom” to garden oasis.

Christmas budgets might be as appealing as low fat sugar-free cookies but don’t leave them off the menu. Charging Christ-mas is one holiday tradition to consider skipping this year. Here are a few money saving

ideas to review between Ama-zon spam and Christmas Ham.

Divide and Conquer

If adults are on your shopping list, time to revise. Too Grinchy? Hardly. Consider that many people on your list wouldn’t mind crossing you off theirs. A slightly awkward conversation with your sister now saves you both time scouring the mall later. If you feel like you’re the only one struggling with a bud-get remember you’re not alone. Garrison Keillor once said, “The lovely thing about Christ-mas is that it’s compulsory like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”

Shop SmartIt’s easy to find the perfect gift for yourself while shop-ping for others. Write down that perfect gift and wait a few months. It might already be in

a loved one’s cart and destined to be nestled under your tree. List in hand and budget in mind, avoid a budget bender. Decide a specific dollar amount you’ll spend on each person and stick to it. Your future self will thank you.

Gift of YourselfThere are many low-cost options that are priceless and heartfelt. Framed photos are thoughtful. Pictures from Face-book or taken throughout the year can be printed and added to inexpensive frames. Printer out of ink or Photobucket run dry? Consider reframing old pictures or keepsakes such as concert tickets. Or offer a

holiday cleanup. Helping a friend or family member get their home “company ready” inside or out is a precious gift. Babysitting duties serve a sim-ilar function and promotes a holiday that everyone can enjoy. Cultivating plants from cuttings or seedlings is another present that shows you’re not just a talented gardener but a trusted resource. Home-baked

cookies, jams or cakes are sweet nothings that everyone can enjoy. The gift of experiences–a picnic at the beach, volunteer-ing together, or going to a free event can be better than some-thing scanned with a barcode.

Black Friday isn’t the rea-son for the season, no matter how cute they make the com-mercials. When the pressure of holiday shopping frazzles or the perfect gift feels out of reach remember the words of a wise man named Dr. Seuss. “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas...per-haps...means a little bit more!”

Lifeguards

Christmas Creep

Time again for crowded malls and deck the halls. If Christmas has snuck up again like the Grinch down your chimney, there’s still hope.


For those who don’t know Sadie, her kisses are well known and loved. This love bug is very sneaky, because one minute your face is dry, and the next thing you know Sadie has you covered in kisses with her famous “ninja tongue.”

She loves people of any age, and isn’t afraid to show it. But she also is a well-behaved dog who listens to commands, and really wants to please her person. At seven years young, Sadie is at long last in a nurturing foster home. She stayed at The Dog Spot Hotel in Melbourne for nearly three years. The folks at Dog Spot were wonderful to Sadie, but it’s not the same as her living in a home. Being in a foster home is a great step in Sadie’s quest for a forever home. A home environment has allowed Sadie to settle into good habits and a stable routine. She is able to have more freedom to explore, play and be a normal dog. Sadie has devel-oped a great part-nership with her foster mom Patty, and they have even had a wonderful adventure at the beach. Sadie has a great energy level, and seems much younger than her seven years.

Sadie is currently roommates with a cat, and her for-ever home can have furry feline friends. She can sometimes be female dog selec-tive, but it may just take time to see if personalities mesh. This pretty girl likes kids, is crate trained, and would do great with a family with a yard and older children.

Sadie is an active pup who loves to go to the beach, take long walks, snuggle on the couch for a movie night, and be your ador-able partner in life.

If you are interested in this amazing dog contact us at [email protected] or check us out on Facebook at face-book.com/friends-foranimalssanctuary. Sadie would love to have a slumber party at your house, and might just be your new best friend.

SCORPIOThis is a beautiful energy time for you. You are going to walk through doors that opened last month or even in August. This is period of mov-ing forward. For some of you, friendships may turn into love relationships this month.

SAGITTARIUSSaturn is taking the fun out of everything and putting you on serious work mode. You are all about work or your goals but do try to bring the fun back. You are all about destiny but don’t forget about the people in your life.

CAPRICORNJupiter is in the ninth house and now the north node in the ninth house. Be careful what you wish for because thoughts become things. For some of you this will be a time for lessons and for others a time of prosperity.

AQUARIUSThis is a very social energy for you, with plenty of fun get togethers and adventures. Also all eyes are on you for better or for worse. Sun in your tenth makes you that go-to person at your job or even at home. Expect lots to do this month, it’s never a dull moment.

PISCESYou are all about your free-dom with this energy. You may be a bit restless with work or with relationships. My fishies, change is com-ing, I know you can feel it. For some of you, it’s around the corner and for others you have to wait a while longer.

ARIESThis month there is better energy in regards to career. If you’re single this is a great time to mingle, and it’ll be a very social month for you. Love relationships may cause frustration as truth is revealed

through rumors. Relation-ships are going to bring drama this month.

TAURUSYou are making things happen and taking names with this energy. Your career and goals are the focus this month, but you may butt heads with oth-ers. Try to be open-minded because some relationships, even work relationships, may be fragile.

GEMINIYou have lots of changes hap-pening this month. This is a time to go with the flow and adjust to situations accord-ingly. What do they say about riptides? Float to shore, don’t swim. Yeah, with Saturn in your seventh just float and you’ll be alright..

CANCERThis month has so many planets in your third house. Thoughts become things. Get your Secret DVDs out and don’t forget the power of positivity. Trust that your words are magic, for bet-ter or for worse.

LEOYou are very sensitive. Maybe too sensitive, and it’s not cute. Watch your spending with this energy because you may be emotionally spending or eating. Careful with your emotions because they may be causing problems with your health, or your money. Try to be more at peace this month. Namaste!

VIRGOThe north node moves into your first house this month. This represent a period of change for you. You’ll find dif-ficulties in certain areas that need to be changed, and you’ll need to be adaptable.

LIBRAThis can be a quiet month for you and your focus may be on spending time socializing with

your family. In typical Libra style, you aren’t saying how you really feel and might have to keep trying to keep the peace among family members.

He’s often found behind the counter at the new Surfer Joe ‘s Tropical Italian Ice in Cocoa Beach. Joe Flandreau is a Massachusetts native who graduated from Cocoa Beach High School and the University of Central Florida.

“My Mom came up with the recipes in freez-ing cold Massachusetts. If you can sell gelati up there, we fig-ured we had proof of concept. We decided that Cocoa B e a c h n e e d e d t h e s e flavors.”

T h e g r e a t cook Julia Child once said, “You don’t have to cook fancy or com-plicated masterpieces-just good food from fresh ingredients.” Surfer Joe’s is committed to that philosophy. Everything is made fresh to order. Lemon gelati has pure fresh lemon. Pina Colada has real coconut milk. Mango Italian ice is made from mango pulp. Pump-kin has real pureed pumpkin. Raspberry, strawberry, and cherry Italian ice are all made fresh from real fruit.

New customers often puzzle over the differ-ence between Italian Ice, shaved ice and gelati.

Joe explained the difference. “We mix our

own recipe for Italian ice in a machine and super freeze it. The machine mixes every-thing equally and creates a smooth consis-tency. Shaved ice has favor added on top. Gelati is Italian ice interspersed with layers of soft serve ice cream. Since everything is made here we need no preservatives.”

With 20 Italian Ices in rotation and two fla-vors of ice cream

(chocolate and vanilla), there

are as many flavor com-binations as your imag-i n a t i o n a l l o w s .T h e i r

C o c o n u t Italian Ice m i x e d with soft

s e r v e , tastes like a fro-

zen Mounds bar. The Key Lime Italian Ice when coupled with vanilla ice cream taste like a light frozen key lime pie. The Strawberry Italian Ice with vanilla resembles strawberry shortcake. The orange with vanilla echoes the flavors of a creamsicle.

“We use fresh ingredients and layer dif-ferent ices. There’s a woman who regularly orders two different flavors. The lemon and blue raspberry layers give it a different, dis-tinct flavor combination she loves.”

The cool tropical-beachy atmosphere is kid

Surfer Joe’s Tropical Italian Ice is a mysterious dessert destination not to be missed. The first mystery is easy to solve. Yes, there is a Surfer Joe.

and tech friendly. Picnic tables line the room with cozy Adirondack chairs that encourage you to relax. Their Wi-Fi hotspot makes the hangout convenient for students or writers who want to beat the heat. “We have free WiFi and could become a writer’s haven. We’d love it if kids came in after school and did their homework.”

Kids can get their photo added to Joe’s Wall of Fame via a Polaroid camera. They also have a giant Jenga puzzle and a Surfer Joe’s corn hole game. They have the perfect place for birthday parties, and a cart available for special events. They also have hot dogs, soft pretzels and nachos for lunch options as well.

Surfer Joe works hard but he does squeeze in time to surf w and again. “We’re closed Monday and Tuesday. I went surfing a couple of weeks ago. I lived in Cocoa Beach for years and still love the beach.”

The final mys-tery Joe hopes you can solve. “We have this classic board hanging up that

we’d love to know more about. It’s a Matt Kechele board. One of his first shaped fiber-glass boards. The fins are glassed in. It’s an old classic. I’d love to know how old it is and

more about it. My mom’s neighbor had it in their backyard, kind of forgotten. It might be a collectible. I’d love to know its origin. It’s a strange shape. The tail is like a nose. It’s a piece of history regardless.”

If you’d like to solve the mystery of the classic surfboard and discover how much you love their delicious desserts, come by Surfer Joe’s Italian Ice from 11am to 8pm Weds-Sun at 124 N. Orlando Avenue in Cocoa Beach. For more information visit their website at surferjoestropicalice.com and check for updates on their Facebook page.

Neil Levine has the numbers to prove it. Levine is a former music executive turned non-profit champion. He’s also an arts and cultural maverick who helped the BCA clarify their focus and innovation.

Neil Levine is Executive Director of the Brevard Cultural Alliance. BCA is an orga-nization representing the art and culture sector of the Space Coast. He’s a former 80s British music maker who helped launch a cul-tural revitalization in economically depressed 90s Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow struggled for a new economic identity. Levine became Glasgow’s Head of Programs. His job was busi-ness and art programming.

“We used arts and culture as an economic lever for regeneration and we increased tourist trips from the residents of the UK by 88 per-cent and overseas tourist trips by 25 percent.” Glasgow evolved into one of the top ten tour-ist destinations in the UK.

Clarity of FocusA tenant of Levine’s four years of leadership at BCA is keep it simple. Levine credits the agency’s success to the development of three strategic priorities. These priorities are the lens through which every project is analyzed. Each project must fulfill these three strategic goals to gain support from BCA. Projects must empower through education, develop cultural destination and build sector sustainability.

Empowering through Education

“Arts and culture programs engage students and encourages them to stay in school. Over-all, it makes school more enjoyable. It’s rela-tively easy to work with curriculum to align our priorities with schools. Art and technol-ogy go hand in hand.”

Programs such as Artist in Residence pro-vide highly skilled artists to classrooms to instruct students in cutting edge technol-ogy. These artists utilize tools in the public

domain such as Goo-gle SketchUp to explore their stud-ies and express their creativity. BCA has also partnered with at-risk youth organizations to provide healthy outlets for self-expression.

One of their most successful programs was born out of frustration.

“I was shocked by the negative things cap-tured on cell phones. There was a news story that really troubled me. I wondered if we could we could create a program to empower young people to have a voice.”

The “Tell Your Story” project is a collabo-ration between students and accomplished filmmakers to create short films using cell phones. The project was supported through grants from the National Endowment of

the Arts and Boe-ing Corporation. High School stu-dents created short documentaries and learned all levels of

film production. The documentaries pre-miered at the Art & Algorithms Digital Art Festival in October in Titusville.

“Art is not just entertainment. It should pro-voke debate, mirror society and make us think about our lives.”

Cocoa Beach Art Show

November 27th, 28th & 29thDowntown

Cocoa BeachStatement Provided by Steve

Romano, CBAS PresidentThe Cocoa Beach Art Show is meant to keep fun and art together downtown. This show is for everyone to benefit. There will be close to 120 art-ists representing over a dozen types of art. We also make it a point to promote the local restaurants and bars. We want the V.F.W. selling beer and The Tiny Turtle selling food. Not to mention the Cocoa Beach Fire Department will be cook-ing their famous chili!

Our goal was to bring fun back to the art show, so we brought back the reunion street party and lots of music. Both the tourists and the locals can mix together and have a great time at the CBAS. It’s awesome to see the Cocoa Beach High School grads that haven’t seen each other in

years get together downtown. We have a super fun set up for kids, so they can participate in the art and have a memorable time. The music and the food will be amazing, and there’s just a great energy throughout the whole weekend.

The artists are from all over, but the majority of them are from Florida. You have to remember this downtown had an art show for over fifty years, so many of the artists didn’t want to relocate. Believe me, this is a juried art show. The talent is astounding. We set the bar high!

There is something for every-one at the CBAS, and all budgets will be able to find something. Last year, our art-ists were very pleased with their sales and the support that the town gave them.

The art is truly spectacular, but when you throw in our weather, our location directly next to the beach, the won-derful restaurants and bars, and the beautiful people of the “Greatest Little City on Earth” you really can’t lose!

Eau Gallie ArtWorks

FestivalNovember 21st & 22nd, 2015Historic Downtown

Eau GallieStatement Provided by

Sharon Dwyer, ArtWorks Committee Member

ArtWorks is about education. Link Johnsten, ArtWorks founder, said that the purpose of the Festival is to educate people on what artists do and how art comes together. He thought that this was a very interesting way to explain art to the public. Each of the art-ists in the show will be display-ing their original art and they will also be creating new works of art in their booths.

ArtWorks is held along Highland Avenue, north of Eau Gallie Blvd., in the Eau Gallie Arts District. The Art Outpost will provide fun, free, dynamic activities for children of all ages. Clay activities are always a hit. Kids get to cre-ate a hand-made vessel on the potter’s wheel or create a fun trinket using hand-building techniques. There will be free

admission to the Foosaner Art Museum during ArtWorks.

There will be musical enter-tainment in Eau Gallie Square on Saturday and Sunday. The bands that will be performing are Karalyn and Dawn Patrol, the Matt Sams Band, The Quarter Bones, and Yahtu.

Local food vendors Beachside Grill & Deli, Cos-mic Cafe, Country Kettler’s Korn, Skewers Mediterranean Grill, and Southern Smoke-house BBQ will also be in Eau Gallie Square.

Most of the artists are from Brevard County. Approxi-mately 30% of the artists are from outside of the County, including some from out of state. There will be over 80 vendors who were selected to be in the show, which is pur-posely kept small. There will be a variety of media that will be displayed and demonstrated including clay, digital art, drawing & pastel, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, sculp-ture, watercolor, and wood.

Student artists from high schools in Brevard will also be participating in ArtWorks. Like the professional artists, these emerging artists will be displaying and creating works of art.

DOWNTOWN

November is undoubtedly the most art-filled month for Brevard County. A bevy of art shows established anywhere from two to over fifty years ago bring some of the most talented artists from all over the Space Coast as well as from across the nation. Here are over-views about four of the biggest shows going on this month: the Cocoa Beach Art Show, ArtWorks of Eau Gallie, the Melbourne Fall Art Festival and the Space Coast Art Festival. Try to make it to all four!

Space Coast Art Festival

November 28th & 29th, 2015Port Canaveral at

The Exploration TowerStatement Provided by

Trish Barker, SCAF PublicistThe mission of the Space Coast Art Festival is to hold an annual, juried fine art festival on the Space Coast. Our goal is to enhance accessibility and diversity in the arts for citizens and visitors of all ages. To that end, we attract renowned judges and talented artists working in a variety of media and also present a student art area that includes hands-on activities and a Student Art Show for grades K through 12.

The Space Coast Art Festival is two days of fam-ily-friendly fun, held in front of the Exploration Tower at dynamic Port Canaveral. The event fea-tures two days of live entertainment on the main stage, a food truck bazaar, children’s activities and much more.

Space Coast Art Festival is a fine art show with artists who come from all over the United States as well as the Space Coast. Our artists are display-ing works in a wide variety of genres. While I’m not able to ballpark pricing at the show, I can tell you that our artists report excellent sales each year!

The art scene in Brevard as a whole is expanding and becoming more diverse. Our Board sees this as such a positive for Space Coast residents and visitors. More art is always a good thing.

of the Space CoastBy Kelsie Sandage

If you’re looking for art in this area, you’re in luck–Brevard County is brimming with talent along the entire coast.

There’s such an influx of art that you’ll see it wherever you look, from murals on the sides of buildings to consigned art lining the walls of local stores. We love to express ourselves, and it makes me proud that my hometown is cultivating its rich trove of artists that have called the Space Coast home. Check out the list below to get a sense of just how many artists, galleries and studios there are. Maybe you’ll dis-cover your next new favorite artist is right under your nose.

Ray Baldino is a former engineer who loves building his business, his family, his reputation and the second floor on his studio. He’s also a generous benefactor who’s donated his talents to the community.

Baldino describes his work succinctly.“I specialize in the kind of portraits hung behind

a couch or above a mantle.”Baldino’s early career in Engineering revolved

around computer programming. He took night classes to become a photographer. In 2004,

Baldino, his wife Maureen and three children moved to Cocoa Beach from Philadelphia. He was happy to leave suburban life, traffic and suits behind.

Baldino appreciated his edu-cation. “I took some classes early on at Daytona State Col-lege with their Continuing Education Program. They have a great art program,”

“I started my photogra-phy studio at home with a dark room. I took pictures of nieces, nephews, and friends. I edited them and gave them away as gifts.”

Baldino’s customer base grew as he continued his education. He earned both the Florida Education Degree and the Flor-ida Degree of Photographic Excellence. He recently earned his Master Photographer Degree with the Professional Photographers of America. He was recently awarded the Platinum Award in the Interna-tional Photography Collection and will featured in the Inter-national Loan Collection. “I worked on weekends and took a week here and there to gain merits for my degrees. Submit-ting pieces to your peers gets you sharper.”

“I love the work of Richard Avedon (a vibrant portrait art-

ist who worked for Vogue and Life magazine). I also like Annie Leibovitz. I appreciate their skills. I could list a long list of friends and professionals to include. There’s just so much talent out there.”

Baldino’s studio films several weddings a year. The prep work is key.

“Weddings are pretty easy... I use light to sculp-ture first then photograph. I spend more time upfront creating the right look to avoid Photo-shop later.”

His talented daughter Mary serves as videogra-pher and back-up photographer. Mary explained,

“He takes 95% of the pictures. I sometimes go with him to cover a wedding or do video. We’ve done 12 weddings in the last six months. He takes all the classic shots and fun moments. One of my favorite wedding only had six people. The family celebrated and I spent the whole day with them. I felt like part of the family.”

Portraits are Baldino’s trademark. One of his favorite things to photograph are people with their cars. “I must have a thousand pictures of cars and their owners. I’ve photographed Porsche’s calendar

Perhaps all great photographers are, at heart, engi-neers. Builders bending light, space, and shadow to form a story.

Chef Filadi is from Parma, Italy. He trained there, in France, and the UK. Since then he has been recognized for his ability to bring authentic Italian preparations, fine fresh ingredi-ents and skillfully crafted dishes to discerning diners here in the US. The Chef and LeeAnn put together a tast-ing menu which included both sea-sonal and all time favorites. Every ele-ment on every plate was made from scratch, from the bread in the basket to the biscotti that come out with the coffee, and every-thing was flawless.

So first, that bread. Thick slices of warm baguette had a chewy crust and a moist and flavorful crumb. It came out with ‘Budino’- a smooth puddle of parmesan and mas-carpone topped with a sparkle of balsamic reduc-tion and candied pecan crumbs. Salty, sweet, and crunchy came together in every wonderful bite.

The appetizer was cold-smoked Scot-tish salmon, thinly sliced over a cool fresh horseradish cream. The fish was topped with a warm (precisely 70°) poached egg. The golden yolk oozed over

the buttery salmon and complemented the sub-tle applewood smoke the chef uses. The wine was a medium bodied Italian white called “Vietti

Roero Arneis” which complemented the buttery richness of the dish.

Next was a roasted beet salad topped with a warm crumbed cake of herbed goat cheese. The tender petals of beet were sweet and earthy, complemented by the tart cheese and the crunchy spin-ach base. The stack was accented by an intense orange reduction, the house balsamic vinaigrette and a crisp candied

orange slice. The plate covered all the flavor bases and it is no surprise that this salad is one item that the can never be taken off the menu. The Materra Sauvignon Blanc that came with the salad course had a discernable orange element to its natural citrus profile- perfect.

The Mango Tree Restaurant has been a local favorite since 1985. Owners since late 2011, Chef Luca Filadi mans the kitchen and Mrs. LeeAnn Filadi hosts in the dining room. They’ve continued the tradition of fine dining in the charming bar and dining areas of this wonderful 70-year-old house.

The entrée was veal scaloppini, presented with a porcini mushroom pan sauce and sour cream mashed potato. The veal slices were moist and juicy, and the sauce was meaty with the seasonal mushrooms but not too rich with cream. The pureed potatoes included enough sour cream to accent, and parsley to complement the rich sauce. The paired wine, Finca Cabernet Sauvignon from

Argentina, had the tannins and body to complement but not overpower the fla-vors on the plate.

LeeAnn spoke about their new ‘mini’ dessert concept, smaller options with attractive pricing.

Our mascarpone and ricotta mousse was not too sweet, topped with a fragrant strawberry puree. No factory fillers here, just pure fruit intensity. A clas-sic tiramisu included sweet cheese, bitter cocoa pow-der, and a boozy lady fin-ger for that adult jolt- one spoon was enough. Last was an unusual dessert combination of lemon curd topped with almond crumble and orange ginger compote- uniquely Luca and utterly delicious. Next

time we will try one of the house-made gelatos. The final wine was a lightly sparkling Banfi ‘Rosa Rigale”, a festive choice to go with the varied des-sert flavors.

The Mango Tree’s talented kitchen staff combine traditional classical techniques, per-fectly executed, with modern twists. The

service is polished without being stuffy and the experience is worth every penny. The Filadi’s have put their heart and soul into this restaurant and it shows.

Come try the new menu items or savor the seasoned favorites at The Mango Tree, located at 118 N Atlantic Avenue in Cocoa Beach. Call (321) 799-2600 for reservations.

Funpipeby Kelsie Sandage

Members Paul Bender (Vocals/Guitar), Mark Kaleiwahea (Vocals/Guitar), John Wilson (Bass/Vocals), and Jesse Moore (Drums/vocals) grew up listening to hard rock, and their love for the genre shows in the passion

they display when they perform.

Funpipe gets to rock out on a regular basis to their favorite band’s songs. Their headbanging rendition of Quiet Riot’s “Metal Health” is unforgettable. The drums set a great backbone that the bass strengthens for the vocals and lead guitar to play overtop. They blend every wave-length with energy and transmitted it everyone there to dance and party. They like to have fun; it is a part of their name after all. Their cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain” is a gentle rolling wave of metal that pulls you in and leaves you want-ing more. Funpipe makes the party happen, and gives their listeners a flashback to rock and roll from the 70s through 90s.

Paul Bender gave us an inside scoop on Funpipe.

Where did the name of the band come from?

“We are probably the most smart ass bunch of guys. We threw some names out, all of them silly, and ended up with Funpipe. It’s actually shortened from our original idea.”

When did the band start playing together? What brought the band together?

“About six years ago with members from an eighties band called Stiletto.”

How do you build your set list? Does it depend on the town more, or the venue? Requests?

“We vary our set list a bit at different venues for danceability and whatnot but try to stay within the hard rock genre. We take requests sometimes if we know a song. We may attempt it even if we don’t!”

What is your favorite thing about play-ing on the Space Coast?

“The Space Coast has great atmosphere, great venues and most of all there are awesome peo-ple that support the local music scene.”

What got you into playing music?

“For me, the love of music in general..I wanted to be part of it. There is nothing like it.”

Have yet to experi-ence Funpipe? No wor-ries! They play monthly at Coconuts on Cocoa

Beach and they also have reg-ular gigs at Siggy’s All Amer-ican Bar in Mel-b o u r n e , L o u ’ s Blues in Indialan-tic, and m a n y o t h e r places up and down

the Space Coast. In October they performed in Daytona during the Biketoberfest activities.

After you’ve had your fill of turkey, all the fixings, and are looking for somewhere fun to take your extended family during Thanksgiving weekend, join the celebration of the 2nd annual Cocoa Beach Art Show in Downtown Cocoa Beach. Funpipe will be performing, so you will be dancing in the street as you soak in all the local art that will be on display. No matter what, I can guarantee a fun time for all ages.

To keep up with Funpipe and see where they will be playing soon, connect with them on their Facebook.

Local Amp

Funpipe is a hard rock band that calls Rockledge its home. They’re a high energy band that loves inter-acting with their crowds.

Dylan, Cash and the Nashville Cats

A New Music CityLegacy / CMF; 2015

Nothing succeeds like success. And imitation is the highest form of flattery. Both of these cliches are tantamount to under-standing everything which fol-lows. In 1966 Bob Dylan went to Nashville to try something d i f f e r e n t . After enlist-ing some of the consid-erable local talent he p r o d u c e d the semi-nal “Blonde on Blonde” album. The critical and c o m m e r -cial acclaim which followed “Blonde on Blonde” forced many other rock and folk acts to look to Music City with a newfound appreciation.

This collection chronicles 36 songs from artists as var-ied as Simon & Garfunkel to Neil Young to Leonard Cohen, as well as three post break-up Beatles.

So who are the Nashville Cats? Collectively dubbed “The Lovin’ Spoonful”, this core group of session players con-sisted of people like Norbert Putnam, Pig Robbins, Kenny Buttrey, and Buddy Spicher. They helped blur the lines between country and rock, and could get just as funky and low-down as any Detroit or NYC house band.

Dylan and Cash prove to be a formidable presence here with six songs on the two discs, including their duet on the tra-ditional tune “Girl of the North Country.” And Dylan is able to cast an even longer shadow with folk duo Ian & Sylvia serving up

his song “This Wheel’s on Fire,” and The Byrds spry rendition of “You Ain’t Going Nowhere.”

For some this collection will be a great introduction to a fascinating period in music history. For others it may well prove to be too narrow a retro-spective. It also coincides with an exhibit currently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame, available in CD format for those who can’t find time to visit.

Fable CryWe’ll Show You Where

the Monsters AreIndependent Release, 2015

What happens when you’ve read through every Harry Pot-ter novel and you’ve spent too much time indulging in some serious cosplay?

Start a band heavy on the-atricality and transfer your obsessions into performance. Nashville, Tennessee’s Fable Cry are self described as The-ater-Scamp-Rock and write

the sort of music which would make them welcome at steam-punk gatherings. While it can be jarring at first for just how out of left field their music is, the band themselves understand villains are almost always more compelling.

This said, Fable Cry attacks the songs with aplomb and deliver suitably over-the-top performances. “Fancy Danc-ing” is an ominous song about seer’s vision and what lies ahead. Careful what you ask.

“Set Me Loose” is a gypsy campfire number with an airy delivery that’s breezy and loose. “Onion Grin” re-tells Little Red Riding Hood’s story from the wolf ’s perspective. “You Ain’t My Baby No More” could be a blues number or delivered as a 70’s boogie, but here it’s a show-styled tune driven by percussionist Rachel Gerlach. It’s hard not to visualize a stage performance in a cabaret, or intimate theater.

Musically, Joshua Dent on cello and violinist Jo Cleary offer the most emotion and expression to these numbers. Zach Ferrin’s vocal delivery and grooming appear to to be inspired by Snidely Whiplash. And yeah, he sells it. These players all set up to support the songs, and grandstanding is kept to a minimum.

Overblown and playing to the back row, Fable Cry are in this with something to prove. This is a show band without an obvious storyline. Each song a self-con-tained story detailing betrayal and life’s curious agonies.

Try this on if you’re sick of typical love songs.

RubikonDelta

Round Hill Records, 2015Boston is a great town for music, with a long pedigree of solid rock acts who call it home. Smart, cul-tured, and dirty enough to still rock properly, this is the sort of town that develops a band like

Rubikon.Opening

track “Live That Lie,” kicks off the disc with the gritty d e c l a r a -tion “Well I’ve been k n o c k e d down and kicked, and lied to.”

Agitated and impassioned, they stomp and squall with a deter-mined retro sound. Through nine more numbers that feel like the best bits of 1974’s hard rock hit parade. With elements of all the heavy hitting bands, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Purple, what stands out on several tracks is the jazzy organ touches in between the swampy slide gui-tar licks.

“Through the Looking Glass” is the band’s weird little left turn. The song is a solid mimicking of Steely Dan, and it’s pure honey. With a deep groove, restrained playing and unhurried pace, the song shows considerable and unexpected depth. “Pretty, Pretty” is the most up to date track in the deep sleazy vein of stoner metal. Everything about it is huge and over the top.

Distorted and driven, you may find yourself seriously con-sidering trading in your Prius for a muscle car after repeated listenings.www.rubikonmusic.com

I was in the store the other day and the guy in front of me started to tell us: “Pumpkin is the lowest form of vegeta-ble on earth. I am sick of everyone pre-tending that it is so tasty. It’s awful to eat raw (or cooked) and pumpkin pie is also the bottom of the barrel when it comes to pie. It has no taste and its nasty sludge-like texture must be masked by 4 to 5 dollops of whipped cream or else you can actually detect what slime you are eating. It is the only pie where you actually are happy to get a huge bite of bare crust. And when people say ‘Oh, but I looove pumpkin seeds.’ Really? You like to bake a tray of tasteless seeds at 400 degrees for 45 minutes just to dump a pound of salt on them so it doesn’t taste like chewing on cardboard? But big props to the pumpkin marketing crew for making people believe in pumpkins. I don’t believe in pumpkin hype.” He said he didn’t believe in pumpkin hype. I loved that. I like blueberry pie myself.

And now that I think about it, there is no real blueberry hype.

Coming up at the skate park we have the first installment of our Skate To School Scholarship Series. This is a con-test for skateboarders in 9th-12th grade. Format will be individual runs in the entire bowl- flow course and pool sec-tion. That will be on Saturday, Novem-ber 21st at 11am.

The Turkey Jam Doubles Contest will be on Black Friday, November 27th. Skaters pair up with a partner and skate a run at the same time while trying to be creative with crossing each other, follow-ing each other and staying on! Big sale in the skate shop 9am-9pm.

Joaquin is gone but how about win-ning a trip to FIJI? We’ve got your flights, 4-star hotel, and transportation covered. As for your surf lessons, we thought we’d leave that part up to world class surfers Kelly Slater and Shane

Dorian. Don’t have a board? Borrow one of theirs! And when you’re ready to bring it in (and you may never be), just know that there’s plenty more waiting for you on the shore, like white sand beaches, golfing, fishing, and plenty of delicious food and drinks. Just don’t for-get to gather the guys for a sunset selfie or two... or three. Don’t forget to bring your skateboard even though it may not get used!

When you donate to go surfing with Shane and Kelly you’re supporting not one, but four incredible causes. The More Than Sport Foundation harnesses the power of the athletic community to transform communities in need, and will be facilitating local youth development and safe skating facilities in Hawaii. The Skate to School Scholarship Fund (Started by Cocoa Beach skateboarder, Scooter Newell!) provides college schol-arships to top youth skaters in local com-petitions.

On a different note, it has been a sad month in skate-boarding. Our hearts are heavy.

Rest in peace to skateboarding icon, Gerry “SkateMas-ter Tate” Hurtado. Skatemaster Tate was featured in mag-azines and videos and in many facets of the California skate scene. He became the host of MTV’s SK8 TV which was most likely the beginning of main-stream audience’s first glance through the window of skateboard culture in the late 80’s and early 90’s. He did more than we can document here, but his name will be etched in skateboard history forever,

We would like to take a moment of silence for our good friend, Michael Wolfe of Palm Bay, Florida who passed away last month. Michael was fixing a trailer on the side of a road when another vehicle struck the trailer and caused fatal injuries. Michael was a well known skater in our central Florida area. He was part of the legendary Graffiti Skate Zone team and known for his “keep on trying” attitude. He worked at the skate park in Cocoa Beach for us in the ‘07-’08 time frame and he was a die-hard team rider for Graffiti. Last year he took off a week of work and volunteered his time to rebuilding the ramp for a contest that Graffiti Skate Zone has each year in October called the Monster Madness Mini Ramp Jam. Well, this year there is more work to be done in Palm Bay and

there will be an event around Halloween like always, only this year we are going to have a new name moving forward: The Wolfe-man Jam. We think he’s like that. We love you, Michael. And we miss you. Rest in Peace.

Florida Surf Museum

by Dan Reiter

Never mind that none of us got any work done. The waves were classic, and we don’t regret a thing. Here’s to the only major storm of the year that panned out. Let’s hope for some more of the good stuff in November.

Here’s what’s up with the Florida Surf Museum:

The 6Th Annual Florida Women Of The Wavesby Sharon Cranston

Once again WOW! Florida Women of the Waves. What a weekend we had!

Thank you all for travel-ing from all over the state of Florida and beyond! This is a total labor of love to be able to put on an event like this. Special thanks to Florida Surf Museum, Melody DeCarlo, all the people who donated

such wonderful items. This weekend is for all of us Flor-ida Women who surf and the love we have for surfing. Thank you all again for mak-ing this event as wonderful as it is. I am looking forward to the 7th Annual Florida Women of the Waves!

Find out more about this event on Facebook.

Sidewalk Surfing “The Florida

factor”Our latest exhibit will

open in November 2015 and feature a look into the influence Florida surfers and skateboarders have had on each other over the years. From hanging ten to cutback slides, off-the-lips and aerials, there’s no denying each has found motivation from the other. The exhibit will feature

classic skateboards and surf-boards along with photos, videos, and interviews. These feature influential surfers and skateboarders from Central Florida and beyond discuss-ing the similarities of of the two sports.

Surfing SantasOn December 24th, the Surf-ing Santas will be invading downtown Cocoa Beach. Hope you’ve been good this year!

The Florida Surf Museum is located in the Ron Jon Watersports Building. Visit www.cocoabeachsurfmuseum.org, or check Facebook — “Cocoa Beach Surf Museum.” Formal name and web address changes are forthcoming. Call 258-8217 for more information. Programs are supported in part through a grant sponsored by the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners and managed by the Brevard Cultural Alliance.

Gracias, Joaquin.

This time though, the interview was conducted long-distance with Todd Wilcox of Orlando, who makes the trip to Cocoa Beach as often as possible to catch some waves.

I first learned of Todd during a conversation at The Tiny Turtle with local attorney Tony Hernan-dez. He told me that they’ve been friends since their college days in Tampa.

Tony told me a few funny stories from their earlier years, and then went on to describe Todd’s perse-verance and dedication in his day- to- day life. He is a father, husband, former CIA case officer, decorated combat veteran, and busi-ness leader. He will also be running for the US Senate in 2016. With such a long list of accomplishments it’s great to know that Todd maintains a lasting love for the ocean.

I’m glad I got a chance to touch base with Todd and learn more about him.

How did you first become a “boardrider”?

“I began surfing when I was in high school and would make a road trip to the East Coast from Tampa. My little sister Heather would tag along from time to time. She is now a pro surfer and pro-SUP’r. It’s humbling to see her get out on a rough day when I cannot. I have always lived the salt life and surfing became a release from the daily grind as well as a place to go when I needed to re-energize.”

Does the surf mentality transcend into other aspects of your life? How so?

“It does. You have to take each wave as it comes but be careful not to just sit waiting around for the

‘perfect’ one or else you will miss all the rides in between.”

All surfers come across challenges in the ocean at certain points. What are some of the waves that have concerned you, both in and out of the water?

“I have never really had any ‘in the water’ waves that have concerned me but then again I have never surfed big waves. There have been far too many ‘out of the water’ waves of concern to list but the ones that have been the most challenging have been the death of friends and family. My mother and father are both gone and I miss them dearly. Having led men in combat and served in more than one of our nation’s wars I have lost too many friends and colleagues. Their service and patrio-

tism is what inspires me to run for the US Senate; to serve again.”

How did you become connected with the Space Coast? What lasting memories of it do you have, and what would you like to see for its future?

“Growing up in Florida the only waves are on the East Coast and coming from Tampa across SR 60 the Space Coast was the closest surf destination. I have fond memories of the Cocoa Beach Pier before $10 dollar parking.”

Please leave us with some advice for our young surf-ers, and give a shout out or two to some people you would like to recognize.

“Vote! If you do not then sit down and shut up. Enjoy all that life has to offer and don’t get too busy to go surfing. A special thanks

to my brother Tony Hernandez. To my little sister Heather, I am so proud of the surfer and the person that you are.”

It’s hard to remember in the heat of politics that the people running for office are just nor-mal folks. It’s a bit easier to believe when one is a surfer. No matter what, we all put our baggies and bathing suits on one leg at a time. If you liked Todd’s story and would like to learn more check out his Facebook page. Also, I thoroughly agree with Todd. Please do your research on candidates and take the time to vote. It really matters. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Remember to be grate-ful, thankful and peaceful.

Writing this month’s article was a little different. I usually meet with boardriders for interviews at local establishments and then catch up with them the next day at The Dollar Store.

SURFING SANTAS!!

www.Sur�ngSantas.org


A hurricane put us out of busi-ness for a couple weeks and a nor’easter got us for near a week. Even when the ocean was fishable, the water was dirty out to three hundred feet. Hope-fully, November will bring a stretch of good weather and favorable water conditions.

If there was a silver lining on the hurricane cloud, it was the fishing inshore around the mullet run. Some days may have been a bit rough, but there were still fishable areas where the action was red hot. And when it did calm down a bit, the surf came alive with both predator and prey.

Sharks, tarpon, snook, red-fish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, jacks, mangrove snapper and flounder were all involved in the foray. Some of the best areas were around structure where the bait could congregate and subsequently get cornered and ambushed. Provided the mullet run continues into November,

this action could continue well into the month. As long as the mullet are migrating, the pred-ators will follow. The best bait will be the ones you catch on scene. But, if you prefer arti-ficials, use something closely resembling the size of the bait that’s running.

On the offshore side of things, we may need to keep our fingers crossed. The ocean needs to calm down for a couple days so the water can clean up a bit. If conditions do improve, November could bring some darn good action. With the fall weather patterns starting, it could prompt the offshore action to spark a bit.

Usually, sometime in Novem-ber the kingfish will make an appearance. When they do show up, there’s typically good num-bers of them. With the kings, there should be the possibility of cobia, sailfish, blackfin tuna or maybe a wahoo. If there’s some

pogies or threadfins around, they’ll make great live bait. If there’s no live bait around, fro-zen sardines will work just fine fished behind dusters.

Banking on the better water conditions, the trolling could be on the upswing too. There were a few mahi around last month and I’d expect to see some this month with the right conditions. With the dolphin, there could be a few early sails, a few wahoo and the possibility of a blackfin tuna. Ballyhoo and ballyhoo/lure combos should do the trick, but strip baits may do the trick also.

November might be a little early for the grouper to start, but stranger things have happened. It’s been a few years, but I have seen numbers of grouper show-ing up before Thanksgiving. I’m not going to say anything else about it, I’m just going to keep my fingers crossed.

Either way, you better get out there and make the most of the calm days. There’s going to be fewer and fewer in a row or the foreseeable future.

See ya on the pond.

Target the schools of mul-let, that’s where you will find your redfish. Also in the pogy bait pods along the beach, they’re full of big redfish and tarpon right now. Top water lures have been a lot of fun super early in the morning, nothing beats a redfish bite on top water. Jerk baits, gold spoons, and jigs will also do the trick on the redfish. Make sure you don’t forget your cut bait also because redfish love an easy free meal!

As the water temps start to cool off the trout bite should get a lot better. Make sure you have a mirrodine tied on, those trout can’t resist them. We will start to see a lot of the bigger trout on the flats which are a lot of fun to sight fish because

they’re so spooky, like bone-fish. Another awesome lure to use is a white jerk bait with a weighted 1/8oz hook. You can also find large num-bers of small trout in creeks and in the residential canals.

I’ve been catching a lot of black drum in our river which is pretty cool. You can find them along

mangrove edges where the water gets deeper and also under docks that extend out onto the flats. The best bait to use would be shrimp and

clams, but you can also get them on gulp if they’re feed-ing well. When the water temps get colder this month you can target big black drum on the bridges at night using blue crab. You may also get some of those mon-ster redfish that hang out there too. I’ve caught black drum from 10-75 pounds there so make sure you beef up your tackle because they will definitely challenge your angling abilities.

The snook are still being caught along our beaches using live finger mullet and croakers, but if you can fish along the jetties for some pogies use those because those snook will eat a pogy over any other bait. Artifi-cial lures like bombers will also work at night along the jetties. The best colors to use are red and white along with chartreuse.

Well that’s all I have for you guys this month so good luck on the water!

This is one of those months that I’m not really sure what to write about. As I start to write this, there have been very few fishable days so far in October.

The Running of the Bull (Redfish)

The past month was insane for the bull redfish. We caught multiple fish in the 40” and over range. We should still see the same for this month also

Ocean Friendly Restaurants

The Ocean Friendly Restaurants campaign (or OFR) aims to work with the restaurant community to institute self-regulated poli-cies that reduce disposable plastic waste. Restau-rants have the power to greatly reduce their impact on our oceans and beaches on many fronts. R e s t a ur a n t s can make a profound dif-ference on our beaches and w a t e r w a y s by reducing use of plastic items in deliv-ery and to-go food service. The Ocean F r i e n d l y R e s t a u r a n t c a m p a i g n works with local restaurants to reduce the amount of disposable plastic food service items that ultimately wind up as pollution on our beaches and in the ocean. Amer-icans use 500 million drinking straws every day, we toss out enough disposable cups, forks and spoons each year to circle the equator 300 times, and use 50 billion plastic beverage water bottles each year. The Monterey Bay Aquarium estimates that over 1,000,000 sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals die from plastic pollution each year. Plastic also causes health prob-lems for humans due to its toxic-ity when it touches the food and water we consume.

Ocean Friendly Restaurants is a program of Surfrider’s Rise Above Plastics Committee, whose mis-sion is to decrease the impacts of plastics in the marine environ-ment by raising awareness about

the dangers of plastic pollution, advocating for a reduction of sin-gle-use plastics, and advocating for the recycling of all plastics. The campaign will focus on an ocean

friendly certification system in which, if a restaurant meets the minimum criteria to be ocean friendly, it will have a Surfrider Ocean Friendly Restaurant sticker in the restaurant, and receive free promotion from Surfrider through social media.

To be certified as an OFR the restaurant must meet spe-cific requirements.

MANDATORY

1. No Styrofoam – replace-ments are recycled, recy-clable, compostable, or biodegradable.

2. Only reusable tableware is provided for onsite dining.

3. Proper recycling practices are followed throughout the restaurant.

AND AT LEAST THREE of the following to be cho-sen by the restaurant:

1. Plastic straws are provided only upon request.

2. Takeout food and beverage containers are recycled, re-cyclable, compostable, or biodegradable.

3. Takeout bags are not plastic.4. Takeout bags are provided

only upon request, or pickup customers are asked to bring their own takeout bags.

5. Disposable utensils for take-out food are provided only upon request.

6. No beverages sold in plas-tic bottles.

By engaging the restaurant community in a conversation about ocean friendly practices, Surfrider hopes to pave the way for support from the restaurant industry for a ban on Styro-foam containers. Orlando’s No Foam Zone (NoFoamZone.org) is working on banning sin-gle-use polystyrene in Orlando. Washington DC, New York City, and San Francisco have already banned all single-use foam/polystyrene products.

Upcoming Events

Every Wednesday: Surf Flix at Coconuts on the BeachNovember 18: Chapter Meeting, The Surfinista 6 p.m.November 20: Cocoa Beach Friday FestWhether you surf, body board, swim, fish, bike, walk, or just enjoy a clean, healthy beach, please consider joining the Surfrider Foundation.

March through November


A crowd from the government and industry partnership, who will complete the satellite’s final assembly, gathered on the Cape’s “Skid Strip” to watch the off-loading of the satellite they will prepare to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance rocket in 2016.

“This GPS IIF-12 satellite represents the end of a legacy as it will be the last of the 61 GPS satellites processed here at CCAFS,” said Brig. Gen. Wayne Monteith, 45th Space Wing commander. “This culminates an incredible 27-year legacy at our Area 59 Satellite Process-ing Facility. We are the Nation’s

premier gateway to space and are humbled to be a part of the team that provides GPS and its capabilities to the world.”

Although there have been other models of GPS launched into space, the Airmen-led pro-cessing team at Area 59 is particu-larly proud to begin preparations to send the last IIF block satellite into orbit. They’ve been behind every launch of the series since the first GPS IIF launched here in May 2010.

“Our combined team’s objec-tive is 100% mission success--each and every time.” said Col. Eric Krystkowiak, 45th Launch Group commander. “My

Airmen work, in partnership, with Boeing and the System Program Office at the Space and Missile Systems Center through-out the final stages of satellite processing prior to launch. From spacecraft containerization, ship-ment from California, the arrival at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Landing Strip, final checkouts, fueling and encapsu-lation, the team is laser focused on identifying and mitigating any issues that could potentially jeopardize mission success.”

The Boeing-assembled GPS IIF 12 that arrived at the Cape will undergo a series of pre-launch preparations, checks and rehearsals. These included func-tional checkout of the spacecraft, compatibility testing, battery installation, fueling, mating to the payload adapter and obtain-ing a final flight weight.

Members of the quality assur-ance team range from young mil-itary officers to career enlisted troops to seasoned civilians.

“Mission Assurance at the launch base is executed with our ‘triad’ of professionals,” said Krys-tkowiak. “Our mission assurance technicians are enlisted person-nel with many years of experi-ence in missile maintenance who are fully engaged and observe the contractor’s work with the satel-lite. They bring their hands-on experience, strict technical com-pliance and discipline to the sat-ellite processing realm. Beside them are our company grade offi-cers and civilian engineers who

bring their engineering rigor and innovative ideas into the process. Lastly are our Aerospace Cor-poration partners who provide invaluable experience and legacy system insight to the team with their continuity of satellite pro-cessing. Many of these members have been here at the Cape since GPS first launched in 1989 and achieved full operational capabil-ity in 1995.”

A field program manager for the team interfaces with 45th SW leadership, the Air Force Space and Missile Center and the contracted partners through-out the months in between the satellite’s delivery and its launch.

The Evolved Expendable

Launch vehicle is used to launch GPS satellites from CCAFS into nearly 11,000-mile circular orbits. While circling the earth, GPS satellites transmit extremely accurate timing data on multiple L-band frequencies. Design life across the satellite blocks range from 7.5 to 12 years, but many are lasting more than 20 years, with the oldest vehicle turning 25 in November of 2015.

The GPS Master Control Sta-tion, operated by the 50th Space Wing’s 2nd Space Operations Squadron at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, is responsible for monitoring and controlling the GPS as a 24-satellite system, consisting of six orbital planes,

with a minimum of four satellites per plane. There are currently 39 vehicles in the GPS constellation.

GPS satellites serve and pro-tect U.S. warfighters by pro-viding navigational assistance and timing standards for mili-tary operations on land, at sea, and in the air. Civilian users around the world also use and depend on GPS for highly accurate time, location, and velocity information.

Last of the dozen GPS IIF satellites arrive at CCAFS

for processingby 45th Space Wing Public Affairs

The last Air Force GPS IIF in a block of 12 sat-ellites was delivered to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, from Boeing’s manufacturing facility in El Segundo, California Oct. 8 via a C-17 Globemaster III.

SustainabilityLevine believes that BCA’s role is as a facilitator but is quick to remind that BCA doesn’t host these events.

“We can’t simply host these events. If you expect the com-munity to own the event you must research who they are and the perceptions of other com-munities surrounded them. We provoked debate about the per-ceptions relative to who they feel they are as a community.”

Other programs such as “Art in Public Places” provides a public exhibit for artist to showcase their work. Art is displayed in loca-tions such as the Dixie Crossroads

Restaurant, Melbourne Interna-tional Airport and the Planetar-ium. These locations showcase art of the community and provides a platform for the artist.

The expansion of art and culture in Brevard has far-reaching eco-nomic and educational benefits for all residents. The highlights from the 2015 Economic Con-tributions of Arts & Culture to the Space Coast include $125 mil-lion in sales, $71.3 million added to the GDP and the addition of 1,537 jobs. Brevard is no stranger to the international technological stage. We’re fortunate to be part of the ongoing art and technolog-ical renaissance that continues to enrich our community.

for three years now (Space Coast Region Porsche Club of Amer-ica), Aston Martins in Monte-rey (California), and Porsche of

Melbourne every month. I’m a big car nut. I love to photograph cars and people,” Ray explained, “People love their cars like chil-dren. Posing with their car is like posing with their family. I like to cater to a lot of finicky car owners who know exactly how they want it photographed.”

He’s also known for his ability to capture the unique relationship between a musician and his instru-ment. “I like to photograph musi-cians and I know what they want.” In one portrait, a young man and his cello are encircled by old Euro-pean buildings by lamplight. The expression and position of the musician is intensely focused. He

seems nearly audible. The portrait captures the exact moment he concentrates all his passion and energy into the strings. It’s a bit of magic captured on canvas.

Baldino also has a recording stu-dio and has created some CDs. He features a few of the videos on YouTube. Ray’s son Vince Baldino and his band performed and recorded “Rounds” on the

Ray Baldino YouTube channel. “Rounds”is a fun original song that’s surprisingly soulful. “We’ve done a few music videos. We have three professional video cameras and can create a commercial qual-ity music video. It requires a lot of time and money just in post pro-duction and ARS work.”

Baldino is a contributor to sev-eral charities such as the March of Dimes, Serene Harbor, Candle-lighters, American Cancer Soci-ety, among others both locally and nationally. All together, he’s donated over $100,000 worth of services to 20 different charities

He’s also published two art books. In his first book, “Brick by

Brick”, he stated, “The brick wall (theme) was inspired by a New York Photographer Mark Seliger. He photographed his celebrity subjects in front of a brick wall. However, his studio is an old brick building. It’s hard to find 100 year-old brick building in Cocoa Beach. So I built my wall brick by brick.”

Baldino is a builder who’s con-structed his career brick by brick,

class by class, client by client. His next project is a second floor addition to his portrait studio. “Basically just adding sticks and going up. I think the economy is on the rebound and I’m ready to move forward.”

The MartianDir: Ridley Scott

Stars: Matt Damon, Jeff Daniels, Jessica Chastain

When the crew of the Ares III is forced to abort their space mission on Mars, they inad-vertently leave astronaut Mark Watley (Damon) behind. Left alone with only his intellect and materials, Watley becomes the MacGyver of Mars in order to survive while NASA attempts to bring him home. Damon’s character is a calm and col-lected botanist, but with the exception of a few hiccups, he doesn’t seem to show any real fear. Being thoroughly optimis-tic, we get a worry free version of “Cast Away” in space. Moments are dramatized but often it is Watley’s quick wit that garners humor. Like many of his previ-ous films, Scott seeks to depict the film’s plot and everyone involved as realistic as possible, which is refreshing here with most space movies being fear-somely dramatic. The other astronauts are bland but the

NASA staff, millions of miles away, provides some unexpected entertainment. The NASA perspective gives the movie a

practical feel while the events on Mars remind audiences it’s also a fictitious movie. “Martian” isn’t a comedy nor is it really

dramatic. “Martian” is an enter-taining sci-fi adventure with a “How to survive on Mars” doc-umentary feel. Grade: B

PanDir: Joe Wright

Stars: Levi Miller, Rooney Mara, Hugh Jackman

Peter Pan is an orphan who is transported to a fantastic world called Neverland where he becomes a hero and pro-tects its people. When Peter (Miller) learns of a prophecy involving himself, Blackbeard ( Jackman) and the natives, Peter is aided by James Hook and Tiger Lily (Mara) as they try to save their world. Every interpretation of Peter Pan tries to be unique but this version simply tries too hard with Hook’s booming Mid-western voice to Blackbeard’s workers oddly singing rock and roll songs. The movie establishes itself as a prequel with a promising new concept but it doesn’t hold true and

changes throughout the story. The cast is comprised of good actors but the portrayals are muddled- Blackbeard is over the top, Hook is anything but swashbuckling and Tiger Lily is from a tribe comprised of multiple ethnicities. The characters are emphatic, the dialogue is bad and the special effects are overdone. There is a magical boy, a pirate and all the names to match but there isn’t any heart to make it a Peter Pan story. This requires a lot more than fairy dust to improve it. Grade: D

SicarioDir: Denis Villeneuve

Stars: Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro

An FBI agent (Blunt) joins a group of CIA operatives (including Brolin) to assist in the capture of a drug king-pin. Ever since she joined the team, Blunt’s charac-ter is never really told what their goals are. Her judgment keeps her from committing to

the group’s cause via violent shortcuts. She’s only there to register an objection to an action or disagree with a deci-sion. The rest of the time she remained silenced. Nobody ever listens, making her entire presence pointless and doing more harm than good. Blunt is a talented actress but she is simply wasted here. Too many times we’ve seen films where a morally straight sheep is involved with cor-rupt wolves. When the rea-son for her presence is finally revealed, it’s not worth the frustration they put her (or the audiences) through. Vil-leneuve delivers a realistic and gritty film but the story isn’t nearly as thrilling as his pre-vious masterpiece “Prisoners.” Del Toro gives one of the best

performances of his career as the film’s swift “sicario” (or hit man) who doesn’t say much. Villeneuve attempts to convey a message regard-ing morality, corruption and crime but trying to tie it all together leads to an unclear ending. Grade: C

Inquire of JulietBy Juliet Pomodoro

Juliet,My man has an antique motorcy-cle that he treats like his baby. He spends all his time “fixing it up” and polishing it down. I feel like he’s put the brakes on our love life. It’s been so long since he’s revved me up! How do I get his attention?

“Ruby” Cocoa Beach

My precious Ruby,

If he is spending all his quality time with his “other ride”, then you should hit that accelerator! Maybe it’s time you dusted off your old camera and headed out to the garage for an Easy Rider photo shoot of your own. My dear, you want him to associ-ate you with that which gets his

engine runnin’. In no time, you’ll be the one getting polished.

Juliet,I live in a big farm house on a large ranch with nothing but hoof stock and the open sky. A man gets mighty lonely slingin hay by himself day after day, with only a cold bed to return to at night. What would it take for a lady like yourself to join me at my country getaway?

“Pierce” Cocoa

Oh, Pierce! The thought of your hard working hands just melts my country butter. But alas, I am not one for the dust and the hay. Maybe you’ll

consider a trip to the coast for a nice sandy getaway? Bring your hat. And your saddle.

Juliet,My dream is to spread good vibes and sweet sensations up and down the coast. I want to be a love guru just like you! I have been a dancer and a mas-sage therapist and now I just need to be trained in the art of seduction. Do you give lessons in love?

“Aphrodite” Palm Bay

Mighty Aphrodite, I believe you may have been born for this er, position! My talents were innate, but my skills have been honed over years of prac-tice. There’s plenty of room along the Space Coast for many mavens of modern love! Come to think of it, I do have some use for a love slave, uh, I mean student. In the words of the great guru Kelis, “I could teach you, but I have to charge.”

Juliet,I am an avid gardener and spend most of my time outside pulling weeds and hoeing. I can see just through the gate separating my yard from the next, and there’s a fellow gardener on the other side. I’m certain he’s single, as he spends all his time in his garden. How do I get him to come over to my side of the fence?

“Abby” RockledgeDear Abby, dear Abby, heed your own advice! Hop over that fence and get your hoe on together! With so many shared interests, you two could spend some serious time exchang-ing... Tips. Ask him about his zucchini squash and offer to let him sample your melons. I think you two could foster some serious fertilization!

Juliet,My husband and I have been together for twenty-eight years next May. It’s hard to believe it’s been so long! The last few years have been a little... slow in the bedroom. How do I put the squeak back into our bedsprings?

“Lana” Melbourne BeachLovely Lana, I admire a wom-an who sticks to what she loves. With the holidays quickly ap-proaching, and since you’ve been such a good girl and boy, I think maybe you should ask Santa for some shiny new toys. You need to be able to share, of course. I think your husband will enjoy going from the “nice” list to the “naughty”.
