SEBASTIAN — Themonth of May will marktwo large milestones inthe life of the North Indi-an River County library inSebastian.

This month, the librarywill turn 30 years old, anda beloved children’s librar-ian will retire a little morethan 27 years on the job.

Shirley Wolstenholme,affectionately known as“Mrs. W.” by both childrenand adult patrons of thelibrary, will retire on May30, leaving behind largeshoes to fill as children’slibrary for Sebastian’s

library.On May 10, the library

will celebrate quietly withrefreshments and triviagames, said Lynn Walsh,current president ofFriends of the North Indi-an River County Libraryand former library direc-tor.

Daniel Clark, librarycomputer specialist, saidthe library trivia quiz willhave questions such as,“how many books are inthe library” and a $25 giftcertificate as a prize.

The library serving theSebastian communitystarted in 1983 in thebuilding that now housesthe Sebastian River AreaChamber of Commerce,said Ms. Walsh, who wasthe library director sincethe beginning and upthrough last year.

In the 27 and one-halfyears Mrs. Wolstenholmehas worked as children’slibrarian, she has impact-ed the lives of approxi-mately 327,150 children,Ms. Walsh said.

“They will definitelymiss her,” she said.

As the librarian, Ms.Wolstenholme organizedand led the baby, toddlerand preschool storytimes,reading challenges, sum-mer activities and specialguests, including clowns,animal keepers, musi-cians, scientists and more.

She has also gone outinto the community tocarry out reading pro-grams for children’sorganizations such asHeadstart, taking thelibrary and excitement ofreading to children whomay not have been

exposed to it until theyreached school-age, Ms.Walsh said.

“She has had quite animpact and knows a lot ofkids in the community,”Ms. Walsh said.

Sheri Adams has beencoming to the library forstorytime for the past fouryears, ever since her firstson was born.

As soon as she steps intothe room, Mrs. Wolsten-holme’s energetic voicecaptures the attention ofthe young ones. Her ani-mated expressions andinflections make eachstory sound exciting andnew.

To hold the attention ofthe small children, shealternates between songsand stories, and ofteninvites the children tohold props that corre-

spond with the song, or todo hand motions.

Ms. Adams’ sons, Sanis,4, and Lynx, 22 months,both enjoy listening to thestories and singing alongwith Mrs. Wolstenholmeeach week, and are thor-oughly engaged for thatone hour, Ms. Adams said.

“Lynx can’t make itthrough 20 minutes ofcartoons with his brother,but he can sit through anhour of this,” she said.

With more than 27 yearsof being a librarian underher belt, Ms. Wolsten-holme says she and herhusband are ready for atemporary change inscenery and will bespending the first part oftheir retirement togethertraveling in the U.S., butshe will miss being a part

Shelter could stop receiving medically-challenging pets

SEBASTIAN — If a veteri-nary bill for a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter isn’t paidup by June 1, the sheltermay have to stop taking inanimals in need.

Since 2006, HALO Rescuein Sebastian has partneredwith Florida VeterinaryLeague to care for the med-ical needs of animals

brought into the shelter andwaiting for forever homes.In April however, HALOreceived notice that their$14,000 floating balanceneeded to be paid by June 1,because of company policychanges.

Without the cash, theshelter would likely have tostop accepting animals intotheir care that have gravemedical needs, leavingthem to be taken to other

animal shelters, or simplydumped on the side of theroad, staff said.

An online donation driveand word-of-mouth reportsof the financial need hasraised $5,000 and businessmembers of the communityare stepping up to holdfundraisers and donateproceeds to the animalshelter, said Jacque Petrone,founder and operator of theSebastian no-kill shelter.

Ms. Petrone visited thenation’s largest sanctuaryfor abused and homelessanimals, Best Friends Ani-mal Society in Salt Lake Citylast month. Her visitinspired and invigoratedher to continue to pursueher dream of a countywhere all of the unwantedanimals would have a safeplace to stay until they areadopted. When she cameback however, the letter

from the Florida VeterinaryLeague caused her heart tosink.

The reason given for thechange in company policyfor open balances, and anincrease in fees for servicesis the cost of running thefacility, a letter from theFlorida Veterinary Leaguesaid.

SEBASTIAN — By the River, anonprofit independent livingfacility for low-income seniorsis now under new manage-ment, but its mission willremain constant.

The facility is dedicated toproviding a place for low-income and frail seniors out-side of a nursing home facilityand even though the organiza-tions original funding modelwasn’t sustainable, a govern-ment housing organization willstand in the gap and keep thefacility open and running formore than 30 residents, saidBhagavati Hausman, the cur-rent president of By the River.

Florida Housing Finance

Corporation has made a 12-year commitment to operatingthe facility as it currently is,including congregate mealplans and other programs andservices.

Mr. Hausman said the origi-nal financial model left 50 per-cent of the organizations oper-ating budget at the mercy ofdonations and fundraisers, andwhile the community has beensupportive, it simply wasn’tenough to keep on going.

At this time, Florida Housinghas said they will keep currentstaff in place to run the day-to-day operations. As an operatorof the facility, Mr. Hausmansaid he would be taking a stepback, but as an individual, he

“We are grateful to FloridaHousing for coming in withmuch needed resources,making this a smooth transi-tion and ensuring that every-thing and everyone willremain the same,” Mr. Haus-man said. “I personally havedeveloped a relation with allthe residents there. When Icome in, I know their fami-lies, their health conditions.They’re really like family tome.”

Florida Housing willacquire By the River in a sim-plified foreclosure proceed-ing and will assume financialownership and management,a press release said.

While the financial modelmay have been flawed, thevision and mission of By theRiver has definitely been suc-cessful, Mr. Hausman said.

The residents have avibrant living community,have made new friends andhave found ways to stayactive in their older years,which is exactly what thecommunity’s founder, thelate Ma Jaya, wanted.

Durga Das Hutner, afounding member, said hewas glad Florida Housing wasable to continue that vision.

“We will continue to takecare of compromised seniors.In a way, nothing will change.We need the resources ofFlorida Housing FinancialCorporation to continue tomanifest our vision. We’ve setsomething in motion and wewill always be looking forways to help seniors withquality and end-of-life care,”Mr. Hutner said in a pressrelease.

where they are comingfrom, it’s just a very suddenchange in procedure and it’ssomething we have to get ahandle on,” Ms. Petronesaid. “But if we can’t pay itoff, we can’t bring more ani-mals in.”

A great majority of theanimals surrendered toHALO are either “senior”animals or animals withmedical needs too costly fortheir owners.

“A huge percentage of ouranimals are in severe med-ical need. We can’t holdthem in a cage without care,

so we would have to stopintake,” Ms. Petrone said.

Missy the Maltese is oneexample of an animal inneed, not only of a home,but expensive medical care.

Her hernia was treated bythe Florida VeterinaryLeague, and her medical billalone will likely be close to$800, while her adoption feeis only $130, Ms. Petronesaid.

Missy is 13 years old, buther age doesn’t stop the staffat HALO from making herlife as healthy and vibrant aspossible.

Ms. Petrone said she does-n’t believe that an animal’slife or death should bemeasured by how much it

costs to fix their issues.“She’s going to go into a

home and be loved and liveout her life for a long as thatmay be. We just don’t but acap on it,” Ms. Petrone said.

The two scheduledfundraisers for HALO areMay 13 at J.J. Manning’sIrish pub in Sebastian andMay 28 at Captain Hiram’s inSebastian. A portion of theproceeds from the eventswill go toward helpingHALO pay off their vet bill.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY— Local law enforcementhas reported that all theadult arcades in IndianRiver County have closed asa result of new state legisla-tion banning the gameswithin the establishments.

Sgt. Thomas Raulen, pub-lic information officer withthe Indian River CountySheriff’s Office, said that as

of the last week in April,about a dozen arcades shutdown business operations,though some may join alawsuit to overturn the law.

“We were pleased that allof the arcades in IndianRiver County were recep-tive to compliance with thelaw and no enforcementaction was needed,” Sgt.Raulen said in an email.

The law came as a resultof an investigation intoAllied Veterans of the

World, an arcade establish-ment, that purported todonate large sums ofmoney from the businessto charities, but recordsshow very little went tocharity.

Gaming centers thatoperate machines designedto work like slot machinesor other casino-style gameswill be illegal, as well asInternet cafes wheresweepstake-style gamesare available.

Enjoying a love for Star Wars

Staff photo by Brittany LlorenteFrom left, Matthew Button, 12, dressed as a Jawa and his father Paul Button, of Sebastian, dressed as Tusken Raider,attend Free Comic Book Day on Saturday May 4, at Famous Faces and Funnies in Melbourne.

Informative websiteI do believe that the website vitals.com (I don't use

WWW) could help many in choosing a doctor. You justhave to enter his or her name and the zip code, and youcan find reviews and ratings of that doctor.

I would hope that more people would use this site andenter praises or complaints so the general public couldhave a view on how their doctor or potential doctor is.

If I would have read the comment on my doctor I wouldhave found another one.

Questioning rantsReading some of rants in the Hometown News very

often leaves me wondering if the writers really believe thestuff they’re spewing.

Some blame everything that is wrong with the world onObama. Seriously? How can people be so uneducated?Uninformed? I’m not sure what their problem may be, butwow, take those blinders off. Please.

Buy AmericanI recently had the privilege of touring our beautiful

country, first in a train, traveling up and down the eastcoast, then in a bus, back and forth to Arizona.

Along the east coast, I was warmed by the homey appealof small towns and in the southwest, awed by mountainsrising from the desert.

However, in city after city, I was struck by the numerousabandoned factories and businesses. These crumblingbuildings with their broken windows look like the after-math of a war. The same applies to empty stores in down-town areas, dotting the land like ghost towns.

I would wager that there has been a war, but it did nottake place in the battlefield. It took place in boardroomsand in the halls of Congress, where decisions were made tooutsource our jobs, for cold hard profit and trade dealsthat favor other nations. This has left hard-working Amer-icans to lose jobs, resulting in homes lost to foreclosureand children left to do without.

But, in this high stakes chess game of the rich and pow-erful, we are not helpless pawns. We can fight back withthe “power of the purchase.” I do this whenever I go to thestore by reading labels and buying products that proudlyproclaim, “Made in the U.S.A.”

In the process, I have noticed surprising things. Forexample, why do some stores sell chopped meat contain-ing meat from other countries? Why go through all thetrouble and expense of importing beef when we have somany cattle right here in the good old USA? The resulting

“meat melange” has a stringy texture and an inferior taste.Also, considering the abundance of Florida’s orange

groves, why do some brands of orange juice contain juicefrom faraway places, where sanitation standards mightnot meet ours? Orange juice made only from Floridaoranges gets my vote and earns my purchase.

Looking down at us from their ivory towers, some politi-cians and business people spit the word “protectionist”like it is a curse. To me, it is a badge of honor. We protectour loved ones and homes. Protecting our jobs and chil-dren is a part of this.

Buying one American product at a time, we can rebuildthe nation’s economy and ensure our children's future.

In responseIn response to the blurb in the April 26, 2013 edition

about gun rights and the lack of call to duty. I am a veteranand come from a family of veterans. My grandfather wasawarded the Silver Star in WWII, my dad served proudly inVietnam and myself served six years.

Yes, unfortunately many of our service men and womendid multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, but how muchof that is from funding cuts?

Many of our soldiers were not even outfitted with theproper equipment they needed to survive over there. Onyour right to not have to worry about gun violence, do youhonestly think taking away our guns are going to stopcriminals from using them? Have you seen the statisticsshowing the increase in violent gun crimes in countriesthat have banned guns from citizens? (Hint: they are veryhigh) If the laws that are currently on the books wereenforced, violent crime would be down. Instead, they areswept under the rug and people cry for more laws. Do I nothave the right to protect myself? If you choose to not owna gun, it is your choice. My family, along with countlessothers, has served this great nation to protect our rights tobear arms and freedom of speech.

Allow me the right to exercise my freedoms and not takethem from me because you don't like guns.

Don’t count on the city councilWell, I’ve seen all too many times people going to the

city council for help with the gangs that dwell there. Formneighborhood street walks and go at various times, thiswill serve as a deterrent to these "gangs."

Quit running to the law or public officials. If you needfunds to do this, write to the fed government.

They’re the ones who supply people whom are on wel-fare. Remember those lovely liberal democrats who sup-posedly are going to take care of you with what impover-ished people think is free? They’re the ones who should behelping you to resolve your unfortunate communityissues.

Gangs and dealers are born out of lack of family founda-tion. That’s what this all boils down to, so take ownershipof the neighborhood and patrol it with your caring neigh-bors. That shouldn’t be too hard, or are you going to bereliant on government assistance all your lives?

And while you’re at it, if you know of young friends or thesuch who are having kids just to get extra food stamps andother government assistance, tell them the problems thatit causes.

It’s just wonderful how the ever-so-lovely democratstake such great care and open up opportunity to theimpoverished. The only thing they haven’t done is takethese people to school to get an education. You have tohave an education, basic skills and even perhaps a familyfoundation of love and genuine caring to thrive in thisworld.

This week, I thought wewould talk about howeverything in the

computer is connected. Byconnected I don't mean bywires and other mechanicalmeans, but internallythrough the computer's filingsystem.

Often I hear people say thata particular file, picture ortext, "is in my word proces-sor" or "it's in my e-mailprogram." That implies thatthe file in question can beaccessed only with thatparticular program. Not so.

Let me explain. Mostprograms on your computerare capable of openingdifferent types of files. Forinstance, word processorssuch as Microsoft Word orWorks Word Processor are forworking with text files, whilephoto editors such as PaintShop Pro and Photo Shop arejust the thing for workingwith pictures.

The files themselves arenot stored within the pro-gram. They are storedsomewhere on the hard driveavailable to any programcapable of working withthem. That means you canshare files often times withmany other programs. All youreally need to know is whereon your hard drive the filesreally live.

For example: "c:\users\owner\docu-

ments\filename.doc"This is an example of a

typical file name completewith its path on the harddrive. The path tells how toget to a files location on thehard drive.

Let’s take a closer look: Thec:\ indicates what disk drivethe file is stored on. Each diskdrive on the computer, yourfloppy drive, your hard drive(c:), and your CD-Rom(typically d:), has a letterassigned to it. This is how totell the computer what driveyou are working with.

The next part of our path,"users\", is the first folder ordirectory.

Just like the manila foldersyou use in a file cabinet keepfiles organized, directories onyour computer organize yourcomputer files. Each directo-ry is separated by a back slash(\) and you can have directo-ries within directories.

In our example, the"documents" folder is in the"owner" folder, which is inthe "users" folder, which is on

the “c:” drive.The last part of our path is

the actual file name.A typical file name comes

in two parts, the name,separated by a dot and theextension. The name is whatwe call the file when we savedit (a fairly important thing tonote when saving). And theextension tells the computerwhat kind of file it is so itknows what kind of programcan open it.

Once you know the path toa particular file, you canaccess it from most of yourfavorite programs.

For instance, say you got apicture e-mailed to you andyou want to use that picturein a letter you are writing withyour word processor.

The first step in getting thepicture into your letterhappens when you save thepicture from e-mail. Note thefull path and file name whenyou save it and you canaccess it any time.

When you are ready toimport your picture, use theinsert menu (typical on mostword processors) to load yourpicture. When the dialoguebox comes up asking whatfile you want to insert, youcan type in the file's full pathand filename or just navigateto the file by double clicking.

Start in the “my computer”window and double click thedrive letter and end with thefile name (). If typing,separate your directories withback slashes and don’t forgetthe 3 letter extension after thedot. Then click OK. Youshould have your pictureinserted into your letter.

As you can see, the pathand file name is enormouslyimportant. So often I hear,"it's on my hard drive, but Idon't know where" or "thatfile is in my word processor."

If you pay attention to whatname and directory the file issaved under when you saveit, you’ll never misplaceanother file.

Wood carvings featured at Sebastian art center

Cliff Partlow/staff photographerOne of Mr. Miller’s favorite carvings is a crappie, which has a worm in his mouth. Thework has all of the carving techniques including wood burning. Mr. Miller will be a guestartists at the Sebastian River Art Club May 11.

Cliff Partlow/staff photographerFrancesca Pratten displays some of her Zentangle andwood burning techniques. She will be a quest artist ofthe Sebastian River Art Club May 11.

Cliff Partlow/staff photographerJoe Miller, of Indian River Woodcarvers, works on adragon in his studio in Fort Pierce Thursday, May 2.

SEBASTIAN — Cranes,cardinals, dolphins anddogs and even AbrahamLincoln will be on displayat the Sebastian River ArtClub’s art center all thismonth.

Intricately carved worksby experienced woodwork-er Joe Miller, president andfounder of the Indian RiverWoodcarver’s Club, will behighlighted during the“Woodcarvers’ Show.” Thefree opening reception isset for May 11 from 2 p.m.to 5 p.m. and will includerefreshments.

“The exhibit will be ondisplay through May 30and will also include worksby other woodworkers,including Francesca Prat-

ten, Paul Whelan andDanny Bell,” Mr. Millersaid.

Some of the art on dis-play will reflect the wildlifeseen here in Indian RiverCounty, including a smallreplica of an alligator, whileothers will be inspired byfantastical creatures,including a dragon.

Mr. Miller has alwaysenjoyed walking and hik-ing, and he would oftenfind a piece of wood, a treebranch to sand down andturn into a walking stick tohelp him on his journey,but a trip to YosemiteNational Park in 2000 andan encounter with “TheKnotty Old Man” complete-ly changed Mr. Miller’s out-look on wooden art.

“Just outside YosemiteNational Park I met a man

who carved wood spirits,their faces, into tree knots.And from there I just start-ed doing faces and othercarving,” Mr. Miller said.

Many of the pieces in theexhibit have the influenceof his colleague, Ms. Prat-ten’s, specialties, woodburning and an art processcalled Zentangle.

Painting and wood burn-ing can turn an ordinarycarving into an extraordi-nary piece, Ms. Prattensaid.

Wood burning can help awork have more textureand natural color varia-tions to enhance the piece,she said.

Zentangle is a newer artform that involves smallartistic designs, usually

done in pen and ink butcan be done as a wood

burning design, that areboth complicated and sim-ple, Ms. Pratten said.

“If you can make acomma, a period, a slantedline, you can tangle,” shesaid.

The art form is inherentlymeditative and when peo-ple are working on theirtangles, “they focus onwhat they are doing and allthe world around just goesaway,” Ms. Pratten said.

One of the pieces in theexhibit with a Zentangle isa small purse.

Wooden walking stickswith all kinds of interestingtoppers will also be fea-tured in the exhibit, Mr.Miller said.

The Indian River Wood-carvers’ Club creates per-sonalized walking sticks forveterans to commemorateand recognize their service.

Some of the walkingsticks on display have cre-ative toppers, includingserpents, dogs, horses andeagles heads.

“Wood carving is not tooexpensive of a hobby to getstarted in,” Mr. Miller said.

Currently, Mr. Millerteaches woodcarving class-es at his studio in FortPierce, located in the base-ment of Art Mundo.

He said he would love tostart some carving classesin Sebastian.

“Individuals can indicatetheir interest at the wood-carver’s exhibit thismonth,” Mr. Miller said.

For more than 25-years, people havegathered with theirpets at the Humane

County for the annu-al Blessing of the

Animals. In the begin-ning, you never knewwhat might show up.Pigs, iguanas, turtles,

There once was a timewhen we year-roundresidents waited for

summer because thecourses were less crowdedand the rates were low.While we could enjoy a niceround for a lot less doughthan in the winter, we neverreally had a chance to “liveit up” like those who had aclub membership. Now, weget to enjoy their club whilethey are away for thesummer. And for a reallygood price!

In Palm City, you will findone of the area's oldest andmost prestigious clubs,Martin Downs CountryClub. The club enjoys agreat reputation for golf,tennis and socializing. Nowfor about the cost of a roundof golf on a public track, wemere mortal golfers havethe opportunity to play atthis exclusive club and, ifwe’re suitably impressed,become members.

Presently one of the twochampionship courses thatMartin Downs boasts isavailable for play, OspreyCreek. The second course,Crane Creek, was closed afew years back, but newowner Brian Wenrick is seton rebuilding that course'squaint clubhouse, as well asresurrecting the courseitself. Crane Creek isscheduled to reopen forplay at some point nextyear.

When you play Osprey

Creek, you get a champi-onship course that hashosted numerous PGA TourQualifying events, juniorchampionships, and highschool and college play. Thecourses were designed bythe late Charles Ankrom, anoted, award-winninginternational golf coursearchitect, and 30-yearMartin Downs resident.

M&W Land DevelopmentCorporation first designedthe master plan for whatwas then called Palm CityRanch in the mid-1970s.The project was quiteambitious for its day, as atthe time Palm City was littlemore than ranches anddairy farms. Construction ofthe Crane Creek Coursebegan in April of 1976, andthe first official tee shot wasstruck in December of thatsame year. Reviews werequite positive from golfwriters and golf insiders,and the course quicklyjoined the ranks of the top-50 courses in the state ofFlorida.

In 1978, First SouthernHoldings, headed by PeterCummings, entered thepicture, buying out M&WLand Company. The first

task was to develop the2,400-acre Palm City Ranch.

The name Martin Downscame about in an unusualfashion. Mr. Cummings anda few staff or friends werereportedly flying over theproject examining the sitefrom the air. During thisflight, one person men-tioned that the propertyreminded her of ChurchillDowns. This appealed toMr. Cummings, and hedecided to name the project"Martin Downs."

Construction of theOsprey Creek Course beganin 1981 and was completedin 1982 under Mr. Ankrom'sdirection. Designing thecourse proved to be a stouttask, as holes had to berouted around one-acrelots, wide drives and thecreek. The final product isone that many golfers areenvious of.

Osprey Creek boasts fivesets of tees, and can play tojust over 7,000 yards fromthe tips. This Florida-styletrack features plenty ofsand and water nestledbetween pines and palms.

Like its sister course,Osprey also featureswonderfully framed greens'complexes. One thing mylate friend Chuck Ankromprided himself on doingwas using mounds, trees,and bunkers that allow thegolfer to easily focus his orher eye on the propertarget.

The fairways are wide,and the greens are varied inshape and size. The coursesits atop a slightly rollingterrain with magnificent,mature trees everywhere.On nearly every hole,golfers can also spotnumerous birds and smallanimals that call the treesand foliage surrounding thecourse their home.

There are dog-legs to theleft, and to the right. Thereare greens that are wide,others that are narrow anddeep. Your mind maywander as you take in theflowering foliage and nativefauna, but keep your mindon your game when it'stime to swing or you'll findyourself needing a forestranger for a guide instead of

a savvy member.Once your round is

complete, it's time to headto the clubhouse forrefreshments and some-thing to satisfy that rumblein your stomach. The menuis extensive and the drinkscold and refreshing. Whilethe wonderfully condi-tioned course alone shouldbe enough to get one to fillout a membership form, it'shead professional ChrisCravotta and his eager-to-please staff that may sealthe deal.

The club is looking forsummer as well as full-timemembers and is invitingpeople to come out and

experience what the clubhas to offer. Best of all, youdon't need to move into theneighborhood to join. Totake your own tour, enjoy around on the Osprey CreekGolf Course and find outmore about the types ofmemberships available, callStacy Weimer at (772) 286-6818, Ext. 202, and schedulea time or visit www.martin-downsgolfclub.com.

Acouple weeks ago mywife and I had anopportunity to travel

through several areas of ourbeautiful state.

We decided to leave townfor a couple of days and weheaded to some unchartedareas of north Florida. Wevisited a very quaint towncalled Keystone Heights.Keystone Heights is locatedabout 35 minutes north ofGainesville and is almostdue west of St. Augustine.It’s amazing how only afour-hour drive can changethe entire landscape.

I think the first thing Inoticed as we drove northwas that we saw less andless palm trees and morepine and oak. This isespecially true in the small

rural communities that dotthe landscape. Along manyof the rural roads that wehad to travel to get to ourdestination, wildflowerswere in full bloom andadded a breathtaking touchof color to the landscape.We saw plenty of wildpetunia, periwinkle andaster.

In many of the landscapesof people’s homes weobserved dogwood treesand plenty of oaks. Themany small ponds andcreeks were brimming withwater lilies and lotus lilies.

Our trip home was just asexciting as we decided tostop at Silver Springs inOcala. This was indeed apleasurable experience.Along with the glass bottom

boats that it is most famousfor, the park boasts acres ofcolorful walkways. You canfind almost any flowerimaginable from the morecommon impatience ormarigold to the more exoticvarieties such as coco plum,sable palms (our state tree)and Australian tree fern. It istruly a plant lover’s para-dise.

The final leg of ourjourney took us through thepicturesque Ocala NationalForest. This is one of the

most scenic drives in thestate with native trees andwildflowers in full bloomalong most of the drive.

Did I mention the roadhas hills? Yes real hills,something we don’t seemuch of in our area.

To get the Ocala NationalForest take I-95 north intoBrevard County then takehighway 40 west towardsOcala. It will indeed be apleasurable experience!

Getting back to home, Iam going to talk aboutGerber daisies. Unlike manyof the other varieties ofdaisies, Gerber daisies canprovide a summer full ofcolor. They do well in asunny location, but willrequire daily wateringduring the hotter summer

months to prevent wilting. Gerber daisies also do

very well in containers on apatio or sunny porch.Although they are perenni-als in Florida, they can begrown as annuals in otherparts of the country and caneven be grown indoors in asunny window.

When you are shoppingfor your colorful treasures,don’t pick the flowers withthe most open blooms butrather choose the ones thathave plenty of buds. Thiswill ensure a longer bloomcycle. It is a good idea topinch the spent flowers offthe plant as this will help topromote new blooms. Theflowers of the Gerber daisyare great for making cut-tings for your favorite flower

vase.You should plant your

colorful gems in well-drained soil in a sunnylocation. As noted earlier,you will need to water yourplants daily and sometimestwice a day during the hotsummer months. Youshould also feed your plantsonce a week with a good all-purpose water-solublefertilizer.

With a little care and TLC,this is one plant that willgive you many weeks ofrewarding color.
