Skin Cancer Surgeon and Confocal Microscopy Expert Joins Scully-Welsh Cancer Center

T

he Scully-Welsh Cancer Center at Indian River Medical Center is well-known for providing stateof-the-art cancer treatment on the Treasure Coast, and now it has another world-class physician in its ranks.

Lilia Correa-Selm, MD, a highly skilled skin cancer surgeon, recently joined the team of multi-disciplinary medical experts.

After earning her medical degree from the Universidad Central De Venezuela, Dr. Correa-Selm spent a year caring for people in a remote, coastal area of her home country. “The days were long and the nights were a little bit scary, but the people were so appreciative,” she said. “That experience really put things in perspective; it made me want to be better.”

You’ll be hard pressed to find a dermatologist with a more extensive medical background than Dr. CorreaSelm. In addition to her training in dermatology, she is board certified in internal medicine. She completed her residency at Cornell New York Downtown Hospital and performed research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer in New York.

After completing her dermatologic training back home in Venezuela, Dr. Correa-Selm finished her residency at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey, where she served as chief resident. At the same

institution, she completed a fellowship in confocal microscopy. She is one of only a handful of physicians in the country trained in this technique, which allows sharply defined optical sections to be collected from which three-dimensional renderings can be created.

“Confocal microscopy is a special and unique technique,” said Dr. Correa-Selm. “It’s basically a virtual biopsy – you put the microscope on top of the skin and it sees the layers under it. Confocal microscopy lets us differentiate between the lesions that need a biopsy and those that don’t. It’s great for delicate areas on the face, where you want to avoid scarring as much as possible.”

Dr. Correa-Selm then went on to complete an intensive fellowship in Mohs and dermatologic oncology at Affiliated Dermatologists and Dermatologic Surgeons at the Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, N.J. Mohs micrographic surgery is widely considered to be the most effective technique for treating the most common types of skin cancer, namely, basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.

Doctors who perform Mohs surgery are specially trained to remove cancerous tissue; analyze the specimens; and reconstruct the surgical area. Patients who undergo

the procedure enjoy the convenience of a single-visit outpatient surgery.

According to Dr. Correa-Selm, the Mohs technique allows her to create a “map” of the affected area so she can determine exactly where cancer cells are located. “When I explain Mohs surgery to patients, I ask them to visualize a clock,” said Dr. CorreaSelm. “If I see cancer cells at 11 o’clock on the sample, I only remove the cells from that area; the rest of the tissue remains untouched so the resulting scar is as small as possible.”

Medical Director James Grichnik, M.D. and his team welcomed Dr. Correa-Selm to the Scully-Welsh

Cancer Center in October. “We are very pleased to welcome Dr. CorreaSelm to the medical staff,” he said. “With her extensive confocal microscopy experience allowing for improved diagnosis and her Mohs surgery experience, she will be an asset to our team of physicians in treating the needs of our community.”

Dr. Correa-Selm is currently accepting new patients. Her office is on the second floor of the ScullyWelsh Cancer Center, which is located on the campus of Indian River Medical Center in Vero Beach. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (772) 226-4800.

Doctor Correa-Selm’s Sun Care Tips Wear sunscreen every day.

Wear wide-brimmed hats.

Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.

Avoid being out in the sun as much as possible from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Check your skin regularly so you will notice any changes or new growths.

Discover New Adventures in Paddling

By Kerry Firth

I

magine gazing down into the clear Atlantic from your stand up paddleboard only to see a sea turtle swimming beneath you. Or paddling along the banks of the Indian River as playful otters engage in a game of hide and seek. Those magical experiences happen daily if you simply take the time to get out on the water in a motor less personal watercraft!

Kayaking and paddle boarding are extremely popular sports because they allow you to get up close and personal with the abundant wildlife that calls the Treasure Coast home. Area outfitters have professional guides that know where you’re most likely to find dolphins, manatees and waterfowl and they offer some truly fascinating trips for your enjoyment.

Orchid Island Bike and Kayaks in Vero Beach offers guided kayak tours

Volume 23 • Issue 1

along the Indian River Lagoon every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Kayaks, paddles, life jackets and whistles are provided. All you need to do is show up with your hat and sunscreen! Tuesday’s trip launches from McWilliams Park at the base of the Barber Bridge and takes you on a scenic tour through the Vero Beach Marina and around the spoil islands. You’ll see dolphins, herons, pelicans and osprey that make this basin their home. Thursday’s launch is from Round Island Park on south A1A where a resident family of manatees often come up to greet paddlers. Private tours are available for groups of 6 or more and reservations are required.

SeaSupGo in Vero Beach specializes in stand-up paddleboard rentals and tours. Experienced guides will give you a quick paddleboard lesson right behind their store on Royal Palm Point, then

take you out to the mangroves along the lagoon where you’ll see manatees and sting rays. If you’re an early riser you’ll want to start the day with a lagoon paddle and then stop at La Tabla for a healthy breakfast, all included in the Paddle Breakfast tour. You say beer is more your style after a paddle? Join the Paddle and Pints tour, which combines paddle boarding through the mangroves, lunch and two pints of craft beer at the Walking Tree Brewery. Of course, for the truly adventurous there’s the Ocean Sea Tour that takes you to the famous Breconshire shipwreck where you can dive in and snorkel if you like. And find your Zen with paddleboard yoga

led by a certified paddle fit instructor. There’s a tour to fit every whim.

If you prefer to paddle alone, both outfitters have hourly kayak and paddleboard rentals that you can pick up at the store or have delivered to a variety of launch sites. Explore the natural, unspoiled Sebastian River where you’ll likely find an alligator sunning on the bank. Paddle into old Florida on the White City River in Ft. Pierce where settlers built their cracker houses along the winding waterway. A short drive out west will take you to the magnificent Blue Cypress Lake where the tall, ancient cypress trees cast eerie shadows along the shoreline and the cypress knees look like wandering gnomes.

Paddle between the high sand bluffs of Turkey Creek where you’ll have to avoid the congregation of manatees in the cooler weather as they seek refuge in the warm water.

There are so many picturesque rivers and lakes to explore with a private guide or on your own. So get our and paddle!

There’s a whole new world beneath the surface!

BG Vero Beach Polo announces “GAME ON!” January – April, 2018

By Kerry Firth

B

G Polo is entering its 4th year in Vero Beach and has quickly become an internationally recognized equestrian center and the jewel of polo!

The 36-acre compound, just minutes off I-95, houses the beautifully maintained Vero Beach Polo field where competitive matches attract players from all around the world. “We’ve acquired some very distinctive corporate sponsors allowing us to enhance the polo experience for our patrons” explained Patta Conboy, BG Polo Equestrian Director. “For the first time, we will offer a Hospitality Tent viewing option, where guests will enjoy the match from the elegantly appointed, covered viewing area while sipping on champagne and indulging in tasty hors d’oeuvres. It’s certainly going to be one of the most sought after viewing areas this season”. This year you can also purchase your tickets on line at VeroBeachPolo.com.

The two resident pros, Tiffany Busch and Gaston Rodriquez are joined this year by Belinda Brody and Cuko Escapite, two crowd favorites who have developed quite a following with their play and showmanship skills. The new pros further support the expertise and competition of the Vero Beach polo members on the field. Matches begin at 1:30 but gates open an hour before so guests can set up their tailgating. Halfway through the match guests are invited to walk the field, enjoy a champagne toast and do the traditional divot stomp!

For those who want to try their hand at swinging a mallet and hitting the ball there’s a wooden horse just waiting for your mount. Now just imagine what it’s like for the riders to swing and connect while traveling at a high rate of speed on horseback!

After a delightful Sunday of polo plan a day to visit Sebastian Inlet State Park which is now affiliated with BG Polo.

Last summer BG Management took over the marina, campground, rental and food concessions within the park. Rent a kayak, paddleboard or pontoon boat from the marina and explore the beautiful Indian River Lagoon. Take a swim or walk along the 3-mile pristine beach. Or cast a line directly into the ocean from the 745ft jetty or into the inlet from the catwalk beneath the bridge. Get your bait from the fully stocked bait show on site and feed yourself at the newly renovated BG Surfside Grill which is now open for breakfast and lunch. Spend the day with the family and you’ll take the kids home tired and happy!

Polo with a Purpose BG Vero Beach Polo Club is a proud sponsor of a gala event to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The formal affair will be held on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at THE Quail Valley River Club. Enjoy cocktails, dinner, live and silent auctions and dancing and live entertainment by Gypsy Lane.

Smart Phone Photography

S

by J. Scott Kelly

ince the invention of the camera function in smartphones, now “everyone’s a photographer”...or are they?

Remember, it’s not the TOOL that you are using, but the SKILL of the person using it. Knowing your equipment and its limitations is the first thing you want to get comfortable with, along with another set of postprocessing tools with which you need to become familiar.

To simplify matters, let’s look at the couple of the most important aspects of all photography, no matter what tools you might be using.

First, become familiar with your camera. Whether it’s a smartphone, point and shoot, or a DSLR, read the manual and find what functions are available to you.

Next, learn the basic principles of

design, composition and light. Design and composition can be simplified into the five major rules of composition, the Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Interest in Foreground and Background, the Golden Spiral and the Gestalt Principles of Design.

The first two are the most commonly used and the easiest to remember.

The Rule of Thirds divides the image into three sections equally along the horizontal and vertical plane with the main point of interest at one of the intersecting points.

The concept of Leading Lines is when an element of the photograph leads your eye and interest into the image. This is most commonly done with roadways, fences, bridges, tree lines, etc. These lines are best suited to start from a corner and direct the eye

into and or around the image.

Looking at and understanding light is as important as the camera itself.

If there is an absence of light, then there is the absence of a photograph.

Photographs are merely the reflecting of light off of a subject. The Principles of Light can be categorized in the color (warm or cool), the quantity (a lot or little) and the quality (soft or hard).

Each of these types of light will render different results from the same subject.

The last tip would be the postprocessing of the initial image. A couple

of the most commonly used program apps are Snapseed and Darkroom. Both of these apps allow you to adjust and enhance the image with various tools such as straightening, cropping, fine tuning the exposure, color, saturation, details, adding drama and creating faux depth of field with the selective focus tool, just to name a few. There are numerous applications available, many are free or at a minimal cost, so download a few and experiment with them to see what may be the most intuitive and FUN for you to use!

Winter Fishing Forecast

By Captain Charlie Conner

H

appy New Year! In past several years, the first quarter has traditionally been cold around the Treasure Coast. Hopefully, 2018 will show us another mild winter and you won’t have to worry about the water temperatures as much this year. Fishing in deeper water will provide you with better results on most days. Working your lures and baits much slower will also give you a better chance at success. Fish tend to become lethargic in cold water and are slow in moving to strike at lures. Finding water that is a couple degrees warmer than the surrounding area can also give you an edge on finding fish. Water temperatures have been mild so far. We had great results last year on fishing deep sand holes on the flats that were being warmed by the sun. We will certainly be doing that again this year.

January is typically a windy month.

You might enjoy one or two days a week that is calmer, but expect it to be windy most days. Using the right ramps can

make your day a little easier in dealing with the weather. There are many ramps around the area that allow you to launch depending on wind direction. The river can be rough some days, but you can still fish most days if you plan your trips carefully and dress accordingly.

Bridges will continue to produce sheepshead, black drum, croakers, sand perch and bluefish. Most of the anglers on the catwalks prefer live or frozen shrimp for these fish. The inlet and turning basin will be full of bluefish, jacks and mackerel this month. Live or dead bait on a jig head will give you plenty of action along with silver spoons or shiny lures. Around seawalls, channel edges or deeper structure you can find grouper for catch and release action in January. Snook action around the jetties and bridges will be active mostly at night for anglers using feather jigs, Terror Eyz and live bait. Snook closed on December 15th, so it will be catch and release for them.

Black Drum are plentiful in January and you can find nice sized fish this month.

52

www.InsideTrackAlmanac.com

Redfish can be found around docks and sitting on the flats on warm, sunny days. The new 2 ¾” DOA shrimp, Terror Eyz or CAL jerk baits work great for wintertime fishing. We had fantastic results around mangroves for redfish last year. CAL paddle tails in the 411 color were a hit with the reds. Docks will be loaded with sheepshead in January with nice sized fish. They have moved in early this year and have been hungry!

Pompano fishing will depend on water temperatures for their location, but they will be in the area throughout the winter.

Surf anglers will be targeting these fish on days when the beach is fishable.

Flounder should be found around the jetties on the beach side and on sand flats around the inlet. If you can find warmer water on the flats, you will most likely find trout feeding in those areas. Last year, we were rewarded many days as

Volume 23 • Issue 1

the sun would warm up a patch of water and get the fish actively feeding. Trout fishing in 2017 rewarded us with many big fish in the 25” to 30” range. CAL jerk baits and Deadly Combos were very successful on the trout, and 2018 should prove to be another good year. Ladyfish and jacks will be all over the river for fun action for the little ones.

Remember, fishing is not just another hobby.... it’s an ADVENTURE! Have a wonderful 2018!

Thanks and Good Fishing!
