December 2012FOREVER YOUNG

Hello, Forever Young readers.

I have been working on this wonder-ful publication for more than a yearnow, behind the scenes, making surethat all the information ended up onthe page and before your eyes.

Now, with a few changes and somerevamping, I’ve accepted the challengeof writing Forever Young but will stillhelp to produce it. It couldn’t havecome at a better time because the artsare a true love of mine, and the focus ofthe December edition of Forever Young.

When I was little, I remember the busrides from school to museums. Therewere tons of museums to go to and as Iwalked around, bright-eyed and filledwith wonder, I became fascinated witha world that was beautiful.

Whether it was a science museum,Ripley’s Believe It or Not in St. Augus-tine or an art museum, I was alwaysenthralled with what was on eachcorner, wall and display.

When I was 18, I took a trip to NewYork City. When my cousin asked what Iwanted to see, the first place on my listwas the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Surrounded by paintings, statues andjewelry from around the world throughdifferent periods of time, I fully under-stood the history around me.

Each component of “the arts,” showsus glimpses into other worlds, one thatis not in the here and now. They are atemporary distraction from life.

My love of the arts is found not onlyin paintings, but in the beauty of musicthe well-choreographed steps of aballet or the perfect reenactment of acharacter.

This area of our beautiful state has

more than enough to offer and Decem-ber is bursting at the seams with plays,recitals, symphonies and museumsfocusing on the holidays. There’s noexcuse not to get out of the house andwatch the beautiful light displays.

After all …’tis the season!There is so much to the holidays:

family, malls, presents and shoppingthat we can become bogged down with

‘Nutcracker’ at a different pace

VERO BEACH — It’s the classic tale ofClara, a young girl who is taken to TheLand of Sweets by her nutcrackerprince. But this year, the traditional“Nutcracker” ballet is performed inswing time with a stage full of childrenand teens from the county.

“It’s all jazz and swing and it’s very funand exciting,” said Adam Schnell, chore-ographer for the play.

This is the third year Riverside Chil-dren’s Theatre will perform the play andMr. Schnell said it has developed a fol-lowing.

“We sold out the first year and almostsold out last year,” Mr. Schnell said. “Itreally became an audience favorite andnot necessarily for the childreninvolved. A lot of local people haveembraced it.”

The play is appropriate for all ages,

embraced by the smallest of childrenwatching those their age on stage, toparents and grandparents who are ableto start a tradition and watch the classictale in a new light and watch thoseonstage bloom from year to year.

“One of the great things about thisproduction is seeing those who were inthe smaller roles when they wereyounger advance to the primary roles asthey grow older,” Mr. Schnell said, not-ing that almost two thirds of the cast areeither in their second or third year.

“It really shows that the kids enjoy theproduction, seeing them try out yearafter year,” Mr. Schnell said.

The children onstage are as young as 6up to high-school seniors.

“All of the ages interact at some pointonstage,” Mr. Schnell said. “One agegroup is never isolated; they move andinteract through the play.”

The Riverside Children’s Theater has atradition of helping mold young dancersand actors and actresses. This play is

one of the highlights of the theater’s sea-son.

“We’re so into the education compo-nent and getting inspired,” Mr. Schnellsaid. “I love to hear the children say, ‘Oh,we’re learning this part and this rolebecause I liked how so-and-so did it.’ Itinspires them to play in more danceclasses and want to be an actor oractress and pursue the arts.”

From the curtain raise to the finalstep, the show hopes to dazzle the mass-es.

“It’s a very nostalgic show,” Mr.Schnell said.

“The Nutcracker in Swingtime” will beperformed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec.20 at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21 at 1:30p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 andSunday, Dec. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the AnneMorton Theatre, 3250 Riverside ParkDrive, Vero Beach.

Gardens to light up for holidays, beyond

VERO BEACH — With lightsthrough the gardens and trees glim-mering and twinkling, patrons cansee McKee Botanical Gardens in anew view.

One hour can yield generations of workAfew of years ago, I was planning a

long weekend trip to the moun-tains for our wedding anniver-

sary. We were flying from into Char-lotte, N.C. I knew that it was close towhere I needed to research, but Ishould forget that, it was my anniver-sary.

However, I couldn’t help checkingthe map and only one hour east wasmy research town. I needed to go“west” with my husband, not “east” tothe library, right? But it was so close!The courthouse would be closed onSaturday and the library probablywould be, too. Better forget it, but itwas so close!

It happens that my father’s familyand my mother’s family both lived inRichmond County, N.C., between 1790and 1836, in separate ends of thecounty. Each family had moved on indifferent directions

I checked the library hours. Almost

any North Carolina library has a greatgenealogy room with lots of localhistory. The library was open until 5p.m. Saturday. I could land at Char-lotte, rent the car and drive to Rocking-ham, and be there by 4 p.m. One wholehour in the library, then we could headwest.

Fortunately, I have the most under-standing husband in the world, and hedoesn’t mind researching and likescemeteries as much as I do. He says,“go for it,” and so we actually pull up tothe library in Rockingham, N.C. at 4p.m. Saturday. It had a huge genealogyroom. He took one side and I took theother and we spent the next 45 min-

utes going through local historymaterial. Before closing, I went to thecopy machine to copy the few thingswe found that might mean somethingat a later date.

Standing in line at the copy machine,I glance at a hand-drawn map Vernonhas found in a thin little book. It has allthe churches in the county marked.The booklet is the history of thechurches in the county and has anindex at the back. In the index is listed“Knight’s Chapel.”

Quickly looking this up through thebook, I find that Knight’s Chapel wasfounded by Moses Knight in 1790.Moses Knight! He’s mine, and thechapel is marked at the state line rightwhere he had lived. This is a great find.I copy the map and the page I need,and we are kicked out of the library atclosing time.

There is plenty of daylight left on a

summer day in August, so we startvisiting cemeteries looking for mymother’s family, stopping to talk toneighbors and taking all their direc-tions to the little cemeteries in the out-of-the-way places. This search bringsno results and so I reluctantly decide togive up and continue on with ouroriginal plans.

Knight’s Chapel is calling to me. It isright on U.S. 1 a few miles down theroad at the state line. Of course thatwas in 1790. Before we leave town, Isay to Vernon, “Why don’t we just drivedown the road. Who knows, maybethere will be a big sign with Knight’sChapel written on it?” And so we do.

There is no sign and no Knight’sChapel, but after we cross into SouthCarolina we pass a little white churchsitting far back on the road.

“There’s a church with a nice ceme-

Tasting Asia, one plate at a time

VERO BEACH — Variety may be thespice of life, but the spices and flavors ofMing's Hibachi Buffet just make it bet-ter.

The restaurant’s been building its rep-utation for serving satisfying Asian cui-sine, including offering a sushi bar andhibachi grill.

Lunch and dinner guests can selecttheir own meats and vegetables for afreshly cooked stir-fried meal right infront of their eyes. Can't decide betweenshrimp, steak or chicken? No worries,try a little bit of everything.

During dinner, the hibachi grill alsooffers other seafood delicacies includ-ing calamari.

The restaurant's red and black décorkeep the facilities looking cool andclassy, and the slightly dim lights pro-vide for a more intimate dining experi-

ence.Three full buffet lines offer hundreds

of meal combinations so no diner has toeat exactly the same thing, even if theyate there every day of the week.

The bourbon chicken on the buffetline with sides of egg drop soup, friedrice and egg rolls, while traditional fare,is a tasty combination. The Thai chickenwith broccoli dish has a much milderflavor and is a pale contrast to the bour-bon chicken, but is still quite appetizing.

Restaurant staff is attentive to bothdinner guests and the food in the buffetline, constantly checking that the food iswell maintained and there is plenty ofeverything.

Sometimes, not everyone in a diningparty is in the mood for what the major-ity want to eat, but at Ming's, that's not aproblem. Fruit, salad and a few Ameri-can-style dishes are usually available on

Change up family traditions during holidaysTimes change, dress changes,

even “the change” has changed.

I know some of us (usually the men-folk) yearn for the old days whenthings were simpler (for them) but Idon’t think I would have fared verywell at all. I cannot picture myself in awoolen bathing suit rushing homefrom taking the children to the beachso I can have a home-cooked lunchwaiting for my husband when he getshome from the polls, while fightinghot flashes, during Prohibition.

Most symptoms of “the change” arenow treatable to a certain extent,shortening the late-night hours spentfanning ourselves considerably withthe freezer door.

Holidays may be one constant inour lives but the way we celebrate hascertainly come a long way.

When my children were young, we

usually had the big family day at ourhouse. My husband’s family wouldconverge in the morning, cousinsusually began running and screamingin all directions just about the timeMacy’s parade began, we would befinishing the last piece of pie (for themoment) just as the game came on,then coffee and more pie duringhalftime.

As my family aged and grew withthe addition of significant others, thearrival of my grandchildren and newsets of in-laws, we re-invented ourcelebrations as necessary.

I began serving a brunch on the

holidays; my children could spendhalf the day with us then be free toenjoy turkey and trimmings with theother side of their families.

Contrary to popular opinion,(usually from the other side of thefamily) I did not arrange things thisway to have the pleasure of mygrandchildren’s company when theywere awake and bright in the morningnot tired and cranky later in theafternoon. Nor was it my intention tobe the grammy that loves them themost by filling them with hand/turkeycookies or gingerbread men just tosend them to their other grandpar-ents. (But I have to admit the words“favoritist grammy in the world” didspread a special kind of warmththroughout my sleep-deprived soul,as did the nap that I was now able tograb later in the afternoon.)

But still we grew. None of us have

homes large enough to accommodate45-plus people and still have room forall the cousins (second and thirdgeneration now) to run and scream,so we once again became harbingersof change.

Our latest change-vention is a hugegathering in a nearby park. We areblessed to live in a place that lives upto the title the Sunshine State, sorenting a pavilion at any of thebeautiful parks in Brevard works outwonderfully.

Our favorite place so far is KarsPark, the pavilions are near theplaygrounds, which is excellent for allthe little ones and one grammy whohas to stop playing every once in awhile and be a grown-up but sneaksback the first chance she gets.

Since gathering my large brood intoone place at one time has become

lucky enough to have their familiesstay into the New Year. For familieslooking for a nightly outing, theevening hours continue Tuesday, Dec.27 through Thursday, Dec. 29 with the“Nights of Lights” event.

“We have additional lighting in theponds and the waterways through thegarden,” Ms. Susino said. “We takeaway the holiday-themed decora-tions. Last year was the first year wedid the event and it was such a suc-cess.”

McKee Botanical Gardens not onlyholds beauty but history.

The gardens were originally openedin 1932 by Waldo Sexton and Ralph

Mckee.“In the 40s it was one of the most

popular places in Florida,” Ms. Susinosaid. “In the 70s the instillation of areaattractions reduced attendance and itclosed. It was reopened in 2001. It hasbeen really special for those whoremembered going there as a childand it’s very nostalgic for a lot of peo-ple. It really is a quaint and tranquilplace.”

The after-hour event hours are 6p.m. to 8 p.m. Regular hours are from10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sat-urday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday andMonday.

tery, do you want to look?” The sign reads: New Hope Methodist

Church. That sounds familiar. I checkthe copied pages. “Moses and WilliamKnight founded Knight’s Chapel in1790, which later became New HopeMethodist Church.”

Along the side there is a nice ceme-tery, and at the front, and sitting nextto where the original church wouldhave been, is a fenced-in section. Mostof the stones remaining are the Knightfamily, some are Moses’ children. Thisis “our” family plot. It is Saturday night,tomorrow is Sunday service at thechurch and there is no way I am goinganywhere. We are going to church.

As we walked into the church, all fiveelderly attendees turn to stare. Service

was over, and they were having Sundayschool. They were friendly and polite,but had no idea how or when thechurch was founded and didn’t reallyseem to care. The Knight family is longsince gone and they were only interest-ed in their own families and anxious totell me about them. The rest of Sundayschool was spent on family stories.

My little out-of-the-way trip tospend one hour in a library turned intoa memory of a lifetime. Welcome togenealogy. One chance meeting, onequick stop, checking just one moresource, can change the whole directionof your research, or give you your ownmemorable experience. So take thechance and the time and go, for it!

akin to herding cats, especiallyduring the holidays, we now cele-brate Thanksmas.

Plastic Thanksgiving and Christ-mas tablecloths surround the hand-embroidered linen masterpiece leftto me by my mother. My brother’sold -fashioned biscuit warmer holdsstore- bought dinner rolls. Shortsand tennis shoes are better suited toflag football games than white shirtsand ties.

The annual Padrick oldsters vs.youngsters volleyball game (theyoungsters won this year. That’llteach my children not to let me playon their team!) has replaced sittingon the couch yelling at footballplayers on the small screen.

There are special challenges tohaving the traditional dinneroutside, away from stoves andmicrowaves but it’s always a learningexperience. You can’t blow out

Sterno (my eyebrows should growback in a month or so). If you bringcanned cranberries you reallyshould bring can openers. If a momdoesn’t actually see a grammy passthe third piece of chocolate pie tothe child sitting behind a bush itdidn’t really happen.

Actually, there are some thingsthat never change in this life and Iwish them on each and every personreading this. The warm, sweet smellof a tired little child who has laughedand played so long that he falls intoan exhausted slumber in your lap.The feel of cool grass between yourtoes when you shed your shoes tocool off after running a full 10 feetbefore someone steals the ball awayfrom you. The lovely peacefulnessthat permeates your whole bodywhen you look around and realizethere is no place in the whole worldyou would rather be.

Happy holidays to all, whereverand however you celebrate them!
