Viera VOiCe George WhiteGabrielle Ford of Suntree uses her dogs and her experience

with illness and bullying during high school, to help spread the word against bullies at schools and other events nationwide. She wrote “Still Dancing” to explain her challenges and current efforts.

BY GeOrGe WHiTe

After being bullied in high school because of her illness, Gabrielle “Gabe” Ford of Viera, now a national anti-bullying spokesperson, had all but given up, for nearly four years shutting herself in and the world out.

“I just thought everybody would treat me like those kids in school did. I cut myself off from people really,” she said.

That was before she got a long-eared coonhound name Izzy as a reward for starting to get out of her shell.

“The only one I even wanted around me all the time was my dog. I love animals so much because they are always there. She didn’t care what I looked like or that I couldn’t do things anymore,’’ she said.

Ford, who moved to Viera from Michigan in March, suffers from a rare genetic neuromuscular disease called Friedreich’s Ataxia.

“Ataxia means without coordination. My nerves don’t communicate that well with my muscles, my coordination is poor and it’s progressive. I was born with it. I was a dancer, just like most kids. When I was 12, I became symptomatic. I walked wobbly and I couldn’t stand still,’’ she said.

Ironically, Izzy later would come down with a similar condition,

Headmaster search launched at Holy Trinity Page 24

Ford’s 2009 autobiography “Still Dancing” has

garnered national media attention, first on Animal Planet’s “A Pet Story” and

later a segment on the “Today” show and articles

in Cosmopolitan and Guideposts.

Children’s real superheroes? GaL volunteers

BY Linda WiGGins

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton were not superheroes, but the money they appear on is, lessening the horror for children plucked from their homes for their safety, sometimes in the middle of the night, and then trotted through the courts

system.The second annual

Guardian Ad Litem Superhero Run will take off at 8 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 12 at Space Coast Stadium in Viera, where adults, children and families can dress up as their favorite superhero and walk or run to raise awareness and money to help GALs serve children’s needs. Organizers hope to top

the $10,000 raised last year.Friends of Children of

Brevard is a nonprofit auxiliary group that purchases items and services not included in the Brevard County courts’ budget to create a sense of normalcy for the abused, neglected or abandoned children.

Each year, hundreds of Brevard County’s children

are removed from their homes and placed under the Dependency Court as the result of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Each child is assigned a volunteer advocate called a Guardian ad Litem (GAL). When these Guardians have a child with an unmet need, they call upon “Friends’” for help with almost anything: a bed, a bike, a pair of shoes or a school uniform.

“This helps to bring a sense of normalcy to their disrupted lives,” said Patricia Williams, event coordinator and GAL spokesperson.

The real superheroes are the GAL volunteers, none of whom consider themselves such, according to Williams.

“They leap tall obstacles in a single bound, cut through red tape with their X-ray vision,

and speed through challenges like a bullet,” Williams said.

“They are the most humble, most willing to give of themselves, and the least interested in recognition of any kind.”

Brevard’s Superhero Run last year was the first such event in Florida, first launched by the GAL’s national network, Court Appointed Special Advocate Association, which hopes to spread the event across the state.

There are several types of residential associations that are governed by Florida laws and regulations. Whether you live in a condominium association, homeowners association, cooperative association or any other form of association, you will find choices, lifestyles, amenities, services and efficiencies that most people value.

When you moved in, did you know you were purchasing in an association-governed community? Many owners are disappointed to learn of the responsibilities and restrictions after they have closed on their acquisition. Always ask the seller or real estate agent if the residence is in an association community. This column will provide some thinking points to consider before you purchase.

You can help ensure a more positive and fulfilling living experience by learning all you can about a community before you buy. Whether a community is self-managed or managed professionally, homeowner involvement is essential. Ask for a copy of the community’s governing

documents and read them carefully before closing. Also, ask your attorney to review the documents to give you guidance. It is important that buyers remember that as a purchaser, you will sign a document at closing that

explicitly or implicitly binds you to compliance of the association documents.

Prior to purchasing a residence, obtain a copy of the association’s budget and financial statements and carefully examine them. Ask a financial professional to review them also. A professional may see items of concern.

As a member of the association, it will be your responsibility to pay your fair share of the costs. Payment of the assessments is not voluntary. Non-payment may result in legal action, including a lien or foreclosure on the residence.

Consider talking to existing owners. Find out how they feel, not only about the neighborhood, but also how the association is governed or managed. In addition, chat with the current president or managing professional.

These are examples of some preliminary considerations before purchasing a residence in an association community. They will probably trigger other questions as you search for your new home.VV

The Singing Golfers have a lot of fun as they participate in various charity events and sing for different organizations. They are known for changing the words of their songs to reflect a lighthearted and fun songfest for their audiences. Lyrics are usually changed to golf “lingo” such as “We Wish you a Merry Christmas” words changed to “We Wish you would take some lessons, we wish you would take some lessons, we wish you would take some lessons or quit playing golf!” and so forth. The creativity put forth is amazing and they all have a lot of fun in composing the various songs.

Formally known as the Viera East 9-hole Ladies Golf Association, the group recently held its Christmas luncheon at the Black Tulip restaurant in Cocoa Village, which included 11 of the 13 Singing Golfers associated with their club at Viera East Country Club. Instead of exchanging gifts, they collected money totaling $175 to donate to the Autumn House assisted living in Viera.

Sue Buttner has a musical background and she formed the Singing Golfers after the March invitational golf event. They needed entertainment organized and she came up with the idea for the lady golfers. Of course, they had to audition to become part of the group because the idea was to make a “joyful” noise, which means the singers needed to be able to do more than just carry a tune.

Upcoming performances will be in March, 2013 when they will perform at the closing luncheon after the 9-hole leaguers play at the club. In October 2013, they will perform at a welcome luncheon at the Holiday Inn in Viera. They are also available to sing at other venues. Buttner can be reached at [email protected] VV

The GFWC Viera Woman’s Club members have been out and about Viera the past two weeks to find the best holiday decorated homes. Nominations were sent in and a final panel of judges drove around Viera on Dec. 16, 2012 to select 1st & 2nd place for two categories, “Whimisical” and “Elegant.” The home pictured here is one of the nominations.

Not much was taken. Pat Dengate came home in time to prevent what could have been a more painful experience.

Dengate’s Suntree home was robbed earlier this year.

“I must have come home when they were in the process of robbing me,” she said. “There were so many other things that they didn’t take.”

Dengate decided it was time to buy and learn how to shoot a gun. She’s not alone, as more seniors in Brevard County are buying guns, taking classes and filling the local shooting ranges to practice their new sport.

“I just want to feel comfortable and be able to defend myself if it happens again,” said Dengate, a native of the Philadelphia suburbs who has lived in Florida for the past 26 years. “Having my brother and his wife next door to me has given me a false sense of security. The windows could be open and I’d figure if I yelled they’d be able to hear me. But they’re returning up North to be close to their grandchildren.”

Rockledge resident June Wright, who commuted from her home in New Hampshire to teach in Boston during her working years, retired here and lives in a fifth-floor condo. She said she feels safe at home, but would like to pack a piece when traveling.

“I just recently lost my husband,” she said as she handled different weapons at Red Dot Shooting Range in Rockledge. “If I have to drive back to New Hampshire, I really want to have a handgun in my car.”

Both Dengate and Wright have taken courses at Red Dot, which is operated by Rachel and Jonathan Bonham.

“I think I was the only one who had never fired a gun before,” Dengate said. The course

Dengate enrolled in was limited to women.

“I think I might have been intimidated if there had been men in the class,” Dengate said. Brevard County Sheriff Jack Parker wants women and all seniors who shoot a gun to be comfortable with the weapon they own.

“I’ve seen too many seniors bring in a gun given to them by their children where they can’t pull the trigger,” Parker said. “They need to go to a shooting range and try 20 or 25 different types of handguns if they don’t know what to get. Revolvers, Magnums, .45s — the ranges have all of these for rent. Try a 9mm or a .22 to see what fits in your hand. There are pros and cons, but there will be one that feels best.”

Improved technology also has altered Parker’s opinions on the subject.

“In the old days, I would have discouraged someone from getting a .22,” said Parker, who retires this month when Wayne Ivey is sworn in.

“It wasn’t reliable and it would jam frequently. The quality of the new .22s is 10 times better than what it was.”

There are other choices.“For most seniors, I’d prefer a

Suffering from Osteoporosis?

Dr. Stanley Golovac and Dr. Richard Gayles

Intact families with children are one step closer to having a place to call home until they have a home of their own.

Family Promise of Brevard announced that they are in talks with the final two of 13 churches needed to set up a housing network, where families will stay at one of the member churches. They then rotate to the next church each week until they are placed in jobs and in homes. They sleep at the churches and then are transported to a Day Center each morning, where they will seek employment and work on getting their lives on track.

“We built our church with this in mind. That’s why we have showers in our restrooms,” said Tony Love, a member of both Suntree United Methodist Church, and the Suntree/Viera Association of Churches that come together to help those less fortunate.

“We are delighted that through Family Promise we will finally be able to do that. It is the churches that should be in the business of housing people in need.”

SUMC’s endowment campaign chair Richard Turner presented Family Promise with a check for

$1,000 so that the nonprofit can begin taking in families in the first quarter of 2013.

“Family Promise is one of our internal ministries,” Turner said. “Our members wanted this and they will be the ones on the front line helping the families.”

Many of the Suntree/Viera area churches are Family Promise host or support

churches. A recent golf tournament at Indian River Colony Club netted $6,000. For more information, contact host church Faith “Viera” Lutheran member Dick “Lovi” Lovisone, Family Promise board president, at 321-610-8453 or email [email protected]. VV

prompting Ford to speak out for all suffering illness — human and animal — and the larger group of children bullied in school.

Her 2009 autobiography “Still Dancing” has garnered national media attention, first on Animal Planet’s “A Pet Story” and later a segment on “The Today Show” and articles in Cosmopolitan and Guideposts.

“They totally understood one another because they were so connected with diseases that caused the exact same symptoms,’’ said Ford’s mother, Rhonda Hillman. “The last few years of Izzy’s life she traveled by wagon. She had wheels and Gabe had wheels. It was such a coincidence.’’

So the bullied girl once trapped in her room is now a paid keynote and motivational speaker at conferences and

conventions. But her primary interest is her presentations to schools as an anti-bullying advocate.

“When they were interviewing for Animal Planet, I told them how much it hurt me when kids made fun of me. A teacher picked up on that and asked me to come to the classroom and tell about my whole experience. That was my first time talking to anybody about that stuff. It was really difficult for me. To my surprise, all the students were receptive and gave positive feedback. That gave me confidence,’’ she said.

Ford still uses dogs in her program in honor of Izzy and continues her work as an advocate against school bullying. For more information, call 810-373-4043 or visit the website gabeandizzy.com. VV

When James Hayes was just 8 years old, he had to get a haircut at the local barbershop and wasn’t much looking forward to it. He would have rather been outside playing with his friends than sitting in an uncomfortable barber’s chair letting someone chop off his hair. However, he noticed a man in the shop with a sketchpad who seemed to be taking an interest in the haircutting procedure and was drawing as Hayes received his haircut.

That artist was Norman Rockwell, who became one of the world’s most famous artists with his drawings and paintings of real-life subjects and happenings around town.

The town was Arlington, Vt., and the year was 1943. Hayes had never seen the artist before and had no idea of what would become of the drawing. He did notice, however, that the artist kept tearing pages off of the

sketch pad, crumpling them, and throwing them on the floor.

“I wish I’d had the foresight to grab those pieces of paper,” he laughs as he tells the story. “They’d be worth a fortune now.”

The barbershop where Hayes was receiving his haircut was located in the barber’s home. Actually, it was on the front porch of the home. He remembers distinctly getting that haircut and how long it took compared to haircuts of today. Maybe the barber was keeping him hostage so that Norman Rockwell could finish his picture.

Asked if he felt “famous” because of the painting, Hayes answered modestly, “Oh, no. It was no big deal!” However, he and his wife Carolyn have the picture framed and placed on the wall for anyone to see. He has told a few of his close friends about the honor of being a model for such a prestigious artist as Rockwell, but he certainly doesn’t flaunt it.

Hayes says he had contact with Norman Rockwell for quite a few years, as there were many notable artists in the New England area, including Grandma Moses. He remembers when Rockwell signed a contract with the Saturday Evening Post to paint the covers and he also painted many for Life magazine. The picture that Rockwell painted of a young Hayes and the barber was sold to a Massachusetts life insurance company as an advertising poster, as was often the case.

Hayes and his wife enjoy Florida life and their Suntree home. They moved here 40 years ago and have two grown sons, one who lives near Orlando and another in Georgia. Hayes keeps young by playing golf and bowling as well as traveling with Carolyn across the globe. He says he has always wanted to paint and he may just start doing that now that he is retired. VV

Norman Rockwell boyliving in suntree

If they were alive today, acclaimed actors Telly Savalas and Yul Brynner would be proud. Bald is beautiful in 2013.

“I haven’t seen the combovers lately,’’ said Bart Thomas, a student at the Academy of Cosmetology in Melbourne. “There might be a few here and there, but most guys just shave it off. Being bald doesn’t have the stigma attached to it like it used to be. Guys go bald and stay that way. Ladies are more accepting and it’s more socially accepted. Guys have to be comfortable in their own skin.’’

Saving those few strands of hair won’t stave off a sunburn let alone impress a woman at the mall, beach or bar.

“It varies, but some guys are sticking with the combover,’’ said Lauren Cady, a hairstylist at SportClips in Viera. “I wonder why they do the combover. It’s a silly thing and you’re not hiding anything. I guess they’re just self conscious; men are paranoid about that. In a women’s opinion, we prefer a guy be bald rather than have a combover. I’ve seen magazine surveys where guys with bald hair are more respected.’’

Cady’s colleague, Amber Nead, agreed.

“Combovers are outdated,’’ Nead said. “Instead of combing a couple of hairs over, they should just shave it off. That’s what I think most people think.’’

Ian James, another student at the Academy of Cosmetology in Melbourne, is willing to suggest a new style — if asked.

“Florida is a retirement state and a lot of the older

men who come in are not modern with their hair styles,’’ James said. “Combovers are not tough to do. I’ll try to make it look longer by giving it some texture. A lot of men are just set in their ways. They might not like a suggestion.’’

Skilled use of the clippers can help someone determined to get his usual combover.

“I do a lot of fades,’’ said Sheena Nolan, a student at the Academy of Cosmetology. “With the clippers, I can make it longer on the top to blend it in and go shorter on the bottom. If I get a combover, I’ll try to add texture to make it more modern.’’

Nolan has another recommendation for older men.

“The new hair dyes look good and they make men look young,’’ Nolan said. “They’ll last until the hair grows out again.’’

Victoria Queduau, a student at the Academy of Cosmetology, thinks a hairstylist is a student for life.

“You have to educate yourself and never stop learning,’’ Queduau said. “There are always new

trends and styles. So much is celebrity based on what’s in the magazines. My mom’s a hairdresser, as well, and she says everything comes back. It’s personal preference, as well.’’

Nead sees that in Viera.“That 1950s parted-hair

style is coming back,’’ she said. “Usually, men have an idea what they want. But, sometimes, people let you do what you want.’’

Cassandra Reziah, a student at the Academy of Cosmetology, feels at ease when she’s cutting the air of an older man.

“The older guys make jokes and say there’s not enough hair to mess up,’’ Reziah said. “They’re not sensitive about everything. Guys are more forgiving if you mess up. Women will get emotional. Guys say their hair will grow back. I like cutting guys hair more.’’

Thomas wears his hair shorter than in the past.

“Less is more — that’s what’s going on,’’ he said. “It can be spikey and not long like it used to be. People want a more athletic style, and they don’t want their hair to get in the way.’’ VV

Hair or no hair, men are happy in 2013

Becca F leemanI guess to Disney and Magic Kingdom. The Christmas parade and all the lights and decorations were special and I also loved the Space Mountain ride.

Jeff FriesWent to Ponce de Leon Springs — Loved the Sugar Mill and making your own pancakes…also, paddle boating.

Anthony FrancisThis is really less than three hours and it is right here in Brevard County, but the best trip I’ve been on is to the Brevard Zoo.Took my son to view the animals, which you can see really up close, but he is too young yet for the Tree Top Trek.

Cindy LeTo the Disney area, City Walk and Epcot, and also the shopping.

Arthur RobertsIt would have to be to St. Petersburg — love the beaches and the white powder sand and to watch the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico.

Roseanne MicariI loved to go to the Fort Myers area — have condo near Punta Gorda and the shopping and the beaches are just great.

.380 automatic,” Parker said. “It’s really a short 9mm. It’s strong and capable, but it doesn’t have an exceptionally strong kickback. I’d rather have them confident when there’s a real threat.”

Dengate knows her limitations and took that into account before purchasing a weapon.

“I have fairly significant arthritis, so I knew I had to rule out the bigger and heavier weapons,” she said. “I don’t have big hands to begin with.”

Dengate also has thought about the moral issues of using a weapon.

“If you don’t have the mindset where you could kill someone, you shouldn’t carry a gun,” Dengate said. “Instinctively, you’ve got to be able to shoot with no problem. If you don’t think you can shoot the person attacking you, they’ll take the weapon away from you and shoot you instead.”

Rachel Bonham of Red Dot said she is ready to help new shooters feel safe, a sentiment echoed at other gun stores.

“Our classes have been full, and probably 80 percent or more have been seniors,” she said. Steven Kennedy of the Gun Site Range on Merritt Island says shooting can be a lifetime sport.

“It’s sort of like golf,” Kennedy said. “You don’t have the stress on the body parts like jogging or tennis. But, it’s a perishable skill. You’ve got to practice, practice, practice.” VV

Jennifer Scott was laid off from her job at the Space Center in 2011. Scrambling for a way to make ends meet and with a desire to help other people, she brainstormed with friends and family and came up with a unique concept that would give her the satisfaction of making sure the local community did not go hungry over the Christmas holidays.

Armed with the philosophy that one can always give of themselves even if there is very little money available, she set out to create an outdoor sales event at her home featuring local vendors, musicians and business sponsors who donated items

for a raffle. The first sale raised $436 and the second raised $600 on Dec. 1.

“You have to realize that every dollar raised equals four dollars in food for the Second Harvest Food Bank” she says, the total equals more than $4,000.

Before joining the Space Center, she was a well-known recording artist under her maiden name, Jennifer Glass, with a hit single “Dreamin’ ” that took her on tours and included some late night gigs. She has a business called Great Scott Productions which promotes area companies via video taping.

Now Scott says she can concentrate to do the things she really loves, the video business and fundraising. VV

daisycaregiver.comDefense still name of

game for Hawks

Viera VOiCe Carl kotalaleft to right, Eric DeJesus, Zack Schwarz and Cody Lyn will provide the Viera Hawks with senior leadership this season. DeJesus and Schwarz are returning starters, while Lyn’s versatility makes him a tough matchup for opponents.

BY CarL kOTaLa

The Viera High boys basketball team is coming off its best season ever — district champs and a spot in the regional semifinals — so naturally the approach isn’t about to change, even if the roster has.

“It’s the same thing every year,” Hawks coach Josh Sykes said. “We’re trying to get them to buy into defense. We’ve got young guys that have talent, but to get them to all understand the concepts that we really want to be strong with is the challenge of the early part of the year.”

Viera returns three players from last year’s team — senior swingman Cody Lyn and returning starters Eric DeJesus (guard) and Zack Schwarz (post).

While Viera doesn’t have a lot of size up front — Schwarz is 6-foot-3 — the Hawks have a lot of versatile players who can make things tough on opposing defenses, especially as they continue to learn to adapt to the circumstances of the game and make necessary adjustments.

“(The key) is getting them used to knowing those positions, knowing how to approach whatever is necessary in each game…if we need to slow it down, we’ll slow it down,” Sykes said. “If we need to speed it up, I’ve got the kids to speed it up.”

The Hawks were experiencing a little bit of an up-and-down start to the season. One night, they played the kind of team defense they want to play and were able to beat Eau Gallie. The next night, that defensive execution wasn’t there and they lost to Bayside.

Schwarz, who knows all too well how effective the Hawks can be when their defense is tight, said it’s just a matter of the players getting used to being on the court together.

“You can see flashes where, when we’re together, we’re tough to beat.” Schwarz said. “But then we’ve got a few moments when we’re still learning each other.

“I think as the year goes on, we’re going to get rid of the moments when we’re still learning and you’re going to see more and more of us playing well.” VV

New Tigers coach stresses patience and execution

BY CarL kOTaLa

Everything about the Holy Trinity girls basketball program is new this season.

New coach. New starting five. New offense and defense.

“The key for us definitely is playing together,” first-year Tigers coach Johnny Collins said. We’re so young, we have to really have good team chemistry and be patient and execute because of the lack of experience. We have no one that’s really been there and done that.”

That’s not to say, however, that Holy Trinity doesn’t have a chance to succeed. Though the Tigers have played a number of teams from higher divisions, it has helped prepare them for district play, where they were off to a 3-0 start.

“We’re starting to play better as the season progresses,” junior point guard Kendall Kara said.

With only one senior on the team — forward/center Munashe Chiyangana — the Tigers have a chance to form a team that can not only compete this season, but be in position to be even better next year.

Kara is one of those key players, along with junior forward Joya Collins; sophomore guard McKenzie Kilborne; freshman guard Alisha Pound; eighth-grader Natalia Walcott and sophomore forward Jana Collins.

“We have a lot of new, young players, but they’re working hard,” Joya Collins said. “What we lack in experience, we make up

because we work hard.” The offensive playbook has

been simplified, with fewer plays than last season to make it more player friendly. The defense has also switched from a 2-3 zone to more of a 1-2-2.

Not only does Collins coach his daughters, Joya and Jana, but his wife, Paula, is the Tigers’ head JV coach. In fact, he was her assistant last year.

Because he works nights, Collins can’t always be there to talk with his daughters about what went on at that night’s practice. So he does the next best thing:

“Before it gets too late, I’ll call both of them individually, just to talk to them, and I’ll put on my dad hat and we’ll talk about any smoothing over (that needs to be done) and we go from there,” he said. VV

Holy Trinity style wears opponents out

BY CarL kOTaLa

Sure, the Viera High girls basketball team returns only two starters this year.

But when those two starters are guard/forward Dee Anderson and point guard Ro Hayes — two of the best players in the county, who also happen to be juniors — well, that’s not a bad problem to have.

“Those are two excellent returners, that’s for sure,” said a laughing Hawks coach Jamie Risberg.

As good as Anderson and Hayes are, though, the Hawks are going to need a lot of other players around them to emerge this season if they are going to be successful.

“We have a lot of talent, but we are very young,” Risberg said.

Sophomore guard Kelsey Muller is the only other returning varsity player from last year’s team, which won the district title and advanced to the Class 7A regional final.

Viera received some help in the form of two transfers,

junior guard Shania Brantley from the Panhandle and senior guard Morgan Best from Kansas.

The Hawks also have three freshmen on the roster who will get a chance to make a significant impact — forward Daniella Hatcher, guard Alyssa Laudoto and guard Lexi Gordon.

With five new players entering the mix, it will be crucial for the Hawks to not only learn their roles, but embrace them.

The Hawks hope their high-pressure, fast-paced style will overcome a lack of height. Anderson is Viera’s tallest player at 5-8.

“Height will be our Achilles tendon for sure,” Risberg said.

Viera’s certainly got off to a good start, opening with a 9-1 record that included a dominating performance against Bayside in which the Hawks led 38-2 after the first quarter on the way to a 70-10 victory.

In that game, Anderson had 24 points, with Hayes getting 17 and Hatcher adding 16.

Viera also had a good opening to its district play, winning on the road at New Smyrna Beach 55-16, with a road game against its other district foe, University (Orange City), to come in mid-December.

“We’ve got the talent, it’s just a matter of if we can pull it together,” Risberg said.VV

Only two returning starters … but what a

pair

With a roster packed full of seniors, including standouts Hunter Waite and Terrell and Terrence Hughes, Viera High wrestling coach Jim Gentile knows who he can count on to score points this season.

It’s getting big performances from some of the other guys, however, that will determine if the Hawks can finally capture the Cape Coast Conference

Championship that has eluded them the past three seasons.

“We’re going to have to have the younger guys step up,” Gentile said. “We know we’re going to get points from (some of our top seniors).”

While Waite plans to wrestle at 132, Terrell Hughes will go at 195 and Terrence will hit the mat at 182. The Hughes brothers are one of five sets of brothers on this year’s Viera team.

Other key wrestlers include senior Josh Amos, who tore his ACL as a sophomore, and then again over this past summer. Senior Ruben Darr is a senior co-captain at 138, while Ricky Veloce will wrestle at 145 and Blake Mahl will wrestle at 220 pounds.

Junior Johnny Melendez (126), junior Jeremy Meehan (145 or 152) and senior Cameron Delap (160) are among the wrestlers the

Viera wrestling will rely on strong senior class

The Holy Trinity boys basketball team plays a style that doesn’t sit well with most opponents.

Mostly because those opponents can’t sit down. And by the second half…they need the rest.

“I love it,” senior guard Gibson said. “They see us pressure and they get tired throughout the game. Most high schools don’t play at that type of pace.”

The Tigers’ full-court pressure, up-tempo style can really wear out an opponent when executed properly. The trick this season will be to get the new players on the same page.

“We’re coming off a group that we’d had since seventh and eighth grade, so we’re trying to re-teach the system to a lot of new guys,” Holy Trinity coach Steve Henderson said. “Our main focus is on defense. We’ve always been a pretty good defensive team.

“We try to keep teams under 40 (points) a night, then we try to use our speed and conditioning to get out and push the tempo of the game.”

Holy Trinity returns five players from last year’s team,

along with five transfers and two players up from the JV team.

Gibson and sophomore guard Keoni Wallington — an all-state pick as a freshman — set the pace in the backcourt.

Other key players this season will be Jace Hogan, a 6-foot-6 junior transfer from Palm Bay and sophomore swingman Julian Gardner, a transfer from Bayside. Junior Zach Ullian, who played a lot of minutes at shooting guard last season, will also have a big role.

“We feel like we have all the pieces,” Henderson said. “It’s just about getting better throughout the year.”

The Tigers were already showing signs of improvement in mid December, but once again, it will depend on how quickly the new players are able to pick up the defense.

“(It’s) pretty difficult,” Gibson said. “It can take you months to actually get used to it, because you get bad habits and you’re used to everything else. It’s a system. It takes a little while to get it, but once you get into it, you’ll know it like nothing else.” VV

Viera VOiCe Carl kotalaViera High coach Jamie Risberg, center, diagrams a play during a recent game against Bayside.

Hawks will count on to have a strong showing this season.

Viera finished second in the CCC in 2010, third in 2011 and second again in 2012.

As much as Waite wants to help the Hawks get that CCC title, he also has a little unfinished business for his senior season. After finishing sixth in the state as a sophomore, he was well on his way to heading back to the state meet last season when he was

sidelined by a torn oblique muscle.

The senior called it “one of the most disappointing things that’s ever happened to me” and is determined to not only get back to the state meet this season, but to finish in the top three.

“I’m definitely ready to go,” he said. “… I’ve been working on my shots a lot. I’m trying to get them faster. I used to always work headlocks. I’m trying to be more diverse.”VV

Women 60 years and older who have lived in Florida for three months or longer have an opportunity to showcase their inner and outer beauty as well as their talent.

Hedi Headley, pageant director of the Ms. Senior Florida Pageant, said, “Talent does not diminish with age and contestants need not dance or sing to show off their talents.”

Headley, who gained experience working with the Ms. Senior Arizona program, said contestants will be judged in four categories. Unlike the traditional pageant categories such as talent, swimsuit and evening gown, Ms. Senior Florida contestants

will be judged on their interview skills, charm or poise and grace, personality and ideals or philosophy of life.

“It’s not the clothes that make the woman, but the woman who makes the clothes,” she said.

The application deadline is in mid-

December with rehearsals beginning in January.

“Don’t let the deadline frighten you away,” Headley said. “We can work with women who are serious about competing. Give me a call.”

The application fee is $99, with all but $10 refundable for those not selected for competition. It will be held March 23 at Regency Park, located at 910 Regency Square in

By Mary Brotherton

Women 60 years and older who have lived in Florida for three months or longer have an opportunity to showcase their inner and outer beauty as well as their talent.

Hedi Headley, pageant director of the Ms. Senior Florida Pageant, said, “Talent does not diminish with age and contestants need not dance or sing to show off their talents.”

Headley, who gained experience working with the Ms. Senior Arizona program, said contestants will be judged in four categories. Unlike the traditional pageant categories such as talent, swimsuit and evening gown, Ms. Senior Florida contestants

will be judged on their interview skills, charm or poise and grace, personality and ideals or philosophy of life.

“It’s not the clothes that make the woman, but the woman who makes the clothes,” she said.

The application deadline is in mid-

December with rehearsals beginning in January.

“Don’t let the deadline frighten you away,” Headley said. “We can work with women who are serious about competing. Give me a call.”

The application fee is $99, with all but $10 refundable for those not selected for competition. It will be held March 23 at Regency Park, located at 910 Regency Square in

Vero Beach. For information, visit

RegencyParkVeroBeach.com\msflpageant.htm or contact Headley by emailing her at [email protected], or call pageant headquarters at 772-564-9222. VV

Sibling chihuahuas “Bella and Harry” travel the world with their family and learn about different countries and customs. On Feb. 11, they will share what they learn in the entertaining live show at the King Center for the Performing Arts on the Brevard Community College Melbourne campus on North Wickham and Post roads.

Entire classes from Viera, Suntree and beyond are expected to attend the 10:30 a.m. show on field trips to enhance their studies in literature, geography, theatre and music. The show targets preschool through third grade age levels. Single tickets are $11.

The show brings to life popular characters in a series of six “Bella and Harry” books that will soon grow to 10. Each book travels to different regions of the globe. The London adventure is the third book.

Author Lisa Manzione grew to love travel through a parent’s career with a major airline. Through the comedic and informative adventures of “Bella and Harry,” Manzione hopes to stimulate children’s imaginations and foster a thirst for understanding the world in which they live.

The educational value of the series is cleverly disguised amidst pages illustrated by artist Kristine Lucco. Now a mother of two avid junior readers, Lucco’s unique talent and particular flair for children’s themes has evolved quite naturally into the world of children’s books and illustrations.

She is quick to credit her own children for inspiring this phase of her art, as it is often conceived by

seeing the characters and places through their eyes. Costumes are based on her illustrations.

Actors for the traveling show performed at the Scarecrow Stroll & Harvest Festival in Viera this past October to promote the show.

Their big musical numbers are “Big Ben Boogie,” “Tea Time for Two” and “Stonehenge Rocks!” The simple, catchy tunes and alliterated phrases engage the children, who often sing along with the characters.

“The show’s goal is to disguise education as fun, while introducing children to a lifelong love of the theater,” said Karen Wilson, coordinator for the King Center’s Theater for Youth and Outreach. “The program provides affordable options to expose youth to theater, and also gives families of all incomes the opportunity for their children to perform.”

Precious pups spin yarns of adventure

Viera VOiCe Photo susan TaylorManatee Elementary School students Cody Taylor, Cody Smith and Andrew Tyszkiewicz pumped up the rivalry for their teams to generate the most cans of soup collected at last year’s Souper Bowl food drive.

Soup is super gift from football fans to hungry families

BY Linda WiGGins

Football-fanatic students at Manatee Elementary School are putting their Super Bowl money where their mouth is, or rather the mouths of others.

They will run up the score for their favorite teams with donated cans of soup in the third annual Manatee Souper Bowl. The soup will be donated to a local church food pantry.

“The rivalry is huge. These kids are very loyal to their chosen teams, as are our faculty members,” said parent volunteer Samantha Guettler, who launched the event and continues to coordinate it.

“It is also fun to see the students check everyday to see if their team is ‘winning,’ with them and faculty getting very involved in the collection and rooting for their team to win.”

By coincidence — perhaps — the team which has collected the most food each year has won the Super Bowl.

This year’s Super Bowl will be Feb. 3, 2013. It will be in New Orleans, La., which is the first time the championship game will be held in the city since Hurricane Katrina shredded parts of the Louisiana Superdome, home to the Saints.

There are 32 NFL teams vying for the two spots in the actual Super Bowl.

Last year’s canned food total was 1,024 cans; the first year in 2011 was 807 cans. The goal this year is a modest increase to 1,100 cans.

The cans will be collected through January and right up until the Super Bowl. Students decorate posters for their favorite teams, and provide logos, jerseys and other sports memorabilia to dress up their team station and encourage participation through rivalries. Cans of food are placed at the station for that team.

According to church pantry volunteers, the Souper Bowl could not come at a better time or serve a more unique need. Pantries always get low during the holidays, which is the time of greatest need, the season of eating special meals with visiting friends and family. Also, soup fills a great need in that it is a modest meal in itself.

“We get a lot of positive feedback from the pantry we contribute to,” said Manatee PTO president Susan Taylor. “They say it is a good way for them to help stretch the food supplied to families.” VV

Quest Elementary School teacher Jennifer McMahan brings her students to the world in textbook learning, and sometimes she brings the world to them.

To cap a recent unit on the Native American culture of long ago, McMahan brought a Delaware Indian dressed in full regalia to show the tools, musical instruments and toys his clan used centuries ago and still today.

“It’s amazing the lengths our teachers will go to light up their children with the love of learning, and kindle their natural curiosity to discover more,” said Quest spokeswoman Shauna Sollberger.

Jake George is a Rockledge author and writing correspondent focusing on his people’s trials at finding their place in the world, and on his personal trials overcoming diseases common to his ethnic

heritage and those he shares with European-descended Americans.

A mix of the Delaware’s Lepane nation and “white blood,” George chronicles the ups and downs of both cultures and medical risk factors in “The Red Man in Me,” a book that includes Native American poetry, short stories and essays. George is active in the winter Pow Wow circuit in Florida and men’s traditional dance. He makes the majority of his own regalia and is a maker and player of Native American flutes.

George has made it his mission to visit other countries through his life and interact with the native peoples domestically and abroad, swapping knowledge of culture and heritage so as to keep both alive.

As he did with Quest students, George travels the country bringing awareness of the Native American culture to young and old alike.

His traveling partner is his wife and childhood sweetheart, Jan, his manager and editor.

George’s enthusiasm is a hit with children.

“Children always respond warmly because of their natural curiosity, and they are drawn to the bright colors and spoken stories,” George said as he showed an artifact to Quest kindergartner Jackson Reyier, who stared in wide-eyed amazement.

“But then, I suppose I don’t look and dress like anyone or anything they’ve ever seen in front of them before.”

A national search is ongoing to find a replacement for Catherine Ford after her retirement from 25 years a headmaster at Holy Trinity Epicopal Academy Upper School.

But, according to the chairman of a Head of School search committee, that is turning out to be no easy task. The nine-member committee which first met in August is comprised of six HTEA board members along with three members of the HTEA staff.

“She officially retires at the end of this school year, but we’re going to need somebody in place by the start of next year, either somebody on an interim basis or somebody on a permanent basis,’’ said Jack Ryals, a local realtor who also serves on the school’s board of trustees.

HTEA also has hired a consultant Southern Teachers Agency to aid in the nationwide search, he said.

Ironically, Ryals first met Ford as a fellow HTEA board member back in the 1980s, long before Ford began her stint in the school’s top leadership position.

“We were on the board together before she was headmaster so I’ve known her a long time,’’ he said.

And with that knowledge comes a sense of the challenge that lies ahead, he said.

“It will be impossible to fill her shoes. It’s going to

take somebody who is an innovator and has a very wide range of skill sets. As for the excellence of school, all you have to do is look at the number of National Merit finalists we have,’’ Ryals said.

Ford has served as both secretary and treasurer of the Florida Council of Independent Schools and as a member of the board of trustees for Sewanee, the University of the South. She also serves on the governing board of the National Association of Episcopal Schools and on the board of

directors at Health First. For more information, call the school at 321-723-8323. VV

A child’s grief is one of humankind’s most difficult pains to accept, and a huge motivating factor among volunteers and donors in making a difference in the world.

Suntree Elementary School students collected 73 teddy bears to place in the arms of children who have experienced the loss of a parent or another loved one at the Bright Star Center for Grieving Children. It is an initiative of Health First Hospice and also hosts Camp Bright Star.

The project at Suntree was perhaps as helpful to children who donated the teddy bears as it was for the children who received them, according to the project coordinator.

“It creates a sense of compassion in children to learn of the suffering of others like them, and teaches them the importance of doing what they can to help lessen that suffering,” said Jennifer Allison, Suntree’s school counselor.

“For the children who receive the bears, it lets them know another child knows and cares about what they are going through. It is a unique form of comfort from a peer.”

The teddy bears were given to children at the center at their annual holiday party in December. For many of the children, it was their first Christmas and New Year’s without their loved one.

The service was the vision of a local pediatrician, now retired.

“I knew that children

needed a special type of counseling — tailored to their young minds and emotions,” said Dr. Leonor Zies. It is modeled after a similar program in Maitland that was first created in Oregon.

The program is a one-day to one-week camp operated under the guidance of a licensed social worker and certified grief counselor, assisted by dozens of trained volunteers.

Afterward, clients can continue to receive ongoing services for as long as the need remains. Children and teens express their grief

through art therapy and other creative methods receptive to youth.

The center serves an average of 60 children at a time, with ages ranging from 3 to 18. Bright Star also serves the school district upon request to help students deal with tragedy by sending a grief counselor to a school.

The Bright Star Center is located in 2,400 square feet of space in the Health First building on Babcock Street in South Brevard. For more information, go to health-first.org/hospitals_services/bright_star.cfm. VV

Brevard County is one of the few school districts in the state to offer instruction on string instruments in all schools, and students want officials to know it’s much more than fun time when considering programs to cut in a tight budget year.

Mysteri Hewitson is a fifth grader preparing for her first performance at the 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28 Strings Concert Showcase at Ralph Williams Elementary School in Viera. Strings students from Manatee, Andersen and Golfview elementary schools also will perform.

“I’m kind of nervous. I’m concerned I may not remember all my music for all the numbers,” said Mysteri, who was influenced

to take up strings because of her mother’s love for violin music.

According to her music teacher, John Kurowski, there are a number of reasons Mysteri will not have to worry about that, as strings are the gateway to learning and strengthening many other school subjects, as well as memory and other skills that facilitate learning and performing in all areas of life.

“Strings study creates permanent pathways in the brain that strengthen memory skills, and music overall facilitates math instruction because it is based on mathematics,” said Kurowski, who also is a math teacher.

Music appeals to, and is helpful to, individuals whose strengths are on both sides of the brain, from the more scientific and organized —like Kurowski and many of his students — to the more artistic and creative, as with others.

“Strings instruction improves hand-eye coordination, which helps with gross- and fine-motor skills used in sports and other physical activities,” he added, “as well as enhances occupational and physical therapies that some students need, or prevents or curtails their need of them all together.”

A number of students in his strings class reported

anecdotal testimony to back that up, with a number stating that strings study inspired them to go above and beyond what is taught in the class to research and experience higher learning in both music and other school subjects, many saying that it turned them into “human sponges.”

Gearing up for a performance is vital to building character, discipline and confidence in all areas of life, according to strings specialist Diana Williams, who travels to Viera and Rockledge high schools and their feeder schools, Williams, Manatee, Quest and Anderson elementary schools. Suntree is in another specialist’s cluster.

“In their preparations, they get a tangible reward weekly by learning and mastering new things, and then that accomplishment makes them want to do more,” Williams said at the end of a lesson at Williams, demonstrating to students the proper way to put down and hold a violin when done performing, as the stage will be crowded Jan. 28, much like with a full orchestra.

“Having them perform in front of their parents, siblings and family friends completes that school-to-home connection, and really gives students the validation they crave,” Williams said.

For Mysteri, all of these qualities may not be in the forefront of why she chose to commit her free time to learning and rehearsing the violin.

“It’s fun and I love it,” she said. VV

Kirk Ball works for Wren Insurance Agency with offices in Viera and Palm Bay, but don’t let the name fool you.

“It was Skip Wren Insurance for 33 years. He started the agency in 1979 and he’s my father-in-law. I’ve worked for him for seven years and it’s been a planned transition. My wife, Meghan, and I just purchased it in August,’’ Ball said.

Ball got a bachelor’s degree in business management from Southeastern University in Lakeland. He worked for a year at a financial services firm doing loans and life insurance.

Skip Wren built the Palm Bay location at 1430 Palm Bay Rd., and seven years

ago the firm moved its central Brevard location from Merritt Island to 8255 N. Wickham Rd., near the Brevard Zoo.

“There’s no change in operation. We have a sales associate, Serena Ray, that works out of Viera office. We have clients all over the county. I‘ll go up there if it‘s easier for them. I go whatever place people need me to be,’’ Ball said.

Carrying on the family business, in a sense, gives the firm stability, Ball said.

“With the second generation of family ownership in place, the agency looks forward to serving the community for decades to come. We are here for you today and we will be here for you tomorrow,’’ he said.

Ball was raised outside Chicago and later lived in Champaign, Ill., where the University of Illinois is located. Meghan (Wren) Ball works as an accountant at Wren Insurance.

ShotFlorida Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri)

It is the most popular tool for consumers who enjoy the great outdoors. Being featured in the keepsake guide puts you in the hands of 20,000 nature

lovers as they track species of wildlife they have sighted.

The guides are given out by Viera Wetland volunteers, Brevard County Parks and Recreation staff and distributed year-round at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands of Viera in a joint project with the Viera Voice newspaper.

For more information or to get your ad in on deadline, call 321-242-1235. VV

BY Linda WiGGinsGiant road graders were a

welcome sight to eco-tourists at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Viera, located at the west end of North Wickham Road. It is a worldwide birding destination.

The miles of high road around the cells of marsh water had grown rutted with potholes, making the drive hazardous. After a hard rain the entrance to the wetlands routinely was closed, limiting access to avid photographers.

“We are thrilled to have it fixed,” said Raleigh Berry, Brevard County environmental land manager. “It is now crowned, which means the surface water will run off rather than create future ruts.”

County utility services, which runs the adjacent sewage treatment plant, paid the $15,000 bill. For more information, call 321-633-2016. VV

The Florida box turtle is found in the peninsula. It displays a unique shell with an upper (carapace) and a lower (plastron) structure. The narrow, elongated, high-domed carapace measures 4 to 6.5 inches and flares out in the back; it exhibits a distinctive pattern of radiating yellow lines on a dark background (see photo).

The hinged plastron provides movable lobes in the front and back. When approached, this turtle

retracts its head, limbs and tail inside its shell and closes the plastron like a box—thus the name.

To ascertain the sex, the eyes are helpful: the male has red irises and the female has yellowish-brown irises.

Predominantly terrestrial, this reptile does not enter water of substantial depth. Damp environments are preferable, such as wetlands, marshlands, edges of swamps and hammocks. In these ecosystems, temperature dictates when foraging activity takes place.

When hot, the turtle may rest under a log or crawl into mud; when cold, it sometimes basks in the sun.

Until 5 to 6 years of age, the juvenile is primarily carnivorous. The adult is omnivorous; for example, nourishment includes fruits, vegetable matter, fungi, insects and carrion. Sharp claws and a sharp beak provide the means to grasp and feed.

This is a solitary creature, except for reproduction. Males may mate with more than one female or practice

monogamy for several years.

The female stores sperm and can lay viable eggs for four years after a successful mating; consequently, yearly breeding is unnecessary. Sexual determination is contingent on incubation temperature: 71°F —male, 79°F — mixed ratio, and 88°F — female. A lifespan of 30 to 40 years is commonplace; survival over 100 years occurs. However, amid diminishing habitats, the Florida box turtle is considered threatened. VV

options are available to enhance your smile.
