Treasure Hunt

L

et’s acknowledge right off the bat that we’re in the thick of summer. It’s hot, it’s humid, and there’s a decent chance it’s raining. Some people react to

July in Vero Beach by heading for the hills, but not us. We go on a treasure hunt, a quest for interesting people, places, and things to do right here in this town we love. This year, we’ve dug up a perfect summer day.

Jay Newman had already made his mark in the world as an international finance guru when he decided to bring that world to life in fiction. His first book, Undermoney, is a thrilling story that Kirkus Reviews describes as “best started early in the morning.” Lucky for us, Newman spends a good chunk of each year at his home in Windsor, where our writer Julia Douglas found him for an interview.

Nothing says summer like a book you can’t put down, except maybe spending a quiet morning strolling slowly around a beautiful garden. Our story on landscaping with native plants unearths the truth about these gems.

We’ll show you how you can transform your yard into a haven for people, pollinators, and posterity with this environmentally friendly approach to planting. Can you dig it?

Next, we invite you to raise a glass to the next stop on our treasure hunt. We asked Patrick Merrell to take us on a tour of local breweries, and he delivered. What better time than summer to start exploring them for yourself? Better get hoppin’!

Our perfect day ends with a visit to the home of some new friends as the Moses family invites us into their welcoming home. Let’s take a few minutes to watch the sun set over the river and think about all the people and things we treasure before we call it a day.

So there you have it. Read a good book, take a walk, kick back with friends, enjoy a cold beer. Summer doesn’t get any better than that. It’s July in Vero Beach, friends. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s probably raining, and there’s no place I’d rather be.

See you in August!

Gems for July

L

iving on the Treasure Coast, we can’t help but turn our thoughts to treasures from time to time—especially in Vero Beach,

which is, of course, a treasure in itself.

Even though the secret is out and our town has been discovered, we at Vero Beach Magazine are always keeping an eye out for hidden gems, and we trust you will find some in this issue.

Many of our local treasures are out in plain sight. We enjoy them every time we open our eyes to the natural beauty that pervades our spot on the map. If, like me, you are particularly fond of the treasure hunt that is shopping in Vero Beach, you know that we live in a veritable treasure trove.

Whether you’re on Ocean Drive, in downtown, at the Village Shops, or at Miracle Mile, there are many wonderful gems to be found. Or, if you’re looking to enhance or refresh your castle, there is always plenty of exploring to be done on Designers Row. Be sure to get out there this summer and support all of our local businesses.

This year is flying by so fast—can you believe it’s already July? And our quaint town has lots of fun events this month.

Check out our Previews and Calendar sections for all the details.

I know I will enjoy watching our skies light up with Fourth of July fireworks; both Vero Beach (Riverside Park) and Sebastian (Riverview Park) have spectacular festivities planned. The sight of fireworks definitely puts a sparkle in my eyes.

And, as always, there is the First Friday Gallery Stroll; if you’re looking for date-night ideas, I highly recommend checking out the amazing galleries and restaurants in historic downtown Vero.

We can’t forget our beautiful beaches. If you’re up for some sun and fun with a historical twist, you may even want to head down to the beach at Sexton Plaza at 8 a.m. on the Fourth and participate in the Race to the Wreck, a quarter-mile swim out to the USS Breconshire, a British steamship that sank in 1894. You can even enjoy a champagne toast at the flag protruding above the water from the ship’s boiler.

Whatever your plans are for this July, I hope you enjoy our beautiful town and have a happy Independence Day!

Dutch twins, paleoartists Adrie and Alfons Kennis, began showing their uncanny models of Neanderthals all over Europe. Smiling, sentient, sculptured re-creations of Neanderthals with vivid, emotive features and tribal tattoos have been displayed in the Gibraltar Museum, significant because Gibraltar is believed the last Neanderthal stronghold, and in unexpected venues such as St. Fagans National Museum of History in Wales.

Recently, the Paris Musée de l’Homme, in an exhibit entitled “Us and Them,” featured a startling sculpture by artist Elisabeth Daynès of a confident, beautifully coiffed Neanderthal woman dressed in haute couture, while Denmark’s Moesgaard Museum, known for its 2,000-year-old, perfectly preserved Grauballe Man, has scheduled for the

She holds the credential of Graduate Gemologist (Gemological Institute of America) and is an accredited member of the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers, specializing in insurance and estate appraisals.

Stop by for a complimentary evaluation of a piece of jewelry in honor of this milestone.

Congratulations to Cathy Curley of Dale Sorensen Real Estate for reaching over $40 million this year to date, between closed and under-contract transactions. One recent sale in which she helped an investor with the purchase of an oceanfront parcel led both Curley and her client to reach significant financial milestones.

As Jeff Schlitt ends his two-year stint as board chair, the United Way of Indian River County congratulates him on a job well done. Schlitt’s term occurred during some difficult times, and he led the organization admirably through these challenges and transitions. He helped UWIRC build stronger relationships with its employees, volunteers and partner agencies as well as community leaders. Outreach has been one of the hallmarks of Schlitt’s entire time serving on the board, which he joined in 2016.

Twenty-nine Indian River Charter High School students took part in a spring choir tour that took them to Tampa, where they visited the University of Tampa, Heights Public Market, and Tampa Bay History Center.

At the recent Rotary Club District 6930 conference, Sunrise Rotary Vero Beach received several honors. From among the district’s 46 clubs, Sunrise was recognized as Club of the Year. In addition, Sunrise President Marty Lewis was named President of the Year, and Sunrise member Buck Vocelle was inducted as the incoming district governor. ❀

ne of my first memories of attending a graduation ceremony was in May 1977. It was a month before my fourth birthday.

My grandfather on my mother’s side, Richard F. Merrill, had earned his master’s degree in business administration from the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College in my hometown of Winter Park, Florida.

I remember sitting on the shoulders of my Uncle David and being prompted to shout “Yay, Pop!” at the top of my lungs, despite the sober request from the officiant that applause be held until the end of the ceremony. Quiet admiration may have been appropriate for most of the students walking across the dais to be handed their diplomas. Pop, however, deserved something better, considering all

that he had accomplished up until this point.

After an idyllic childhood in Vermont, Pop graduated from high school and enrolled at the University of Vermont to study engineering and accounting.

His studies were disrupted when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was deployed to Pearl Harbor shortly after the Japanese attack, but he eventually completed an undergraduate degree.

Marriage, employment, and relocation to Florida with the Martin Marietta Company (now Lockheed Martin) followed. It was a solid career that provided the income needed to raise five children through the 1950s and the turbulent events of the ’60s and early ’70s. His commitment to furthering his education at an age when some men would be considering retirement set an important example.

My grandfather’s accomplishment was special, yet it did not overshadow similar achievements in my imme-

diate family. In the hallway of my childhood home, my own father’s diploma as a member of the University of Central Florida’s first graduating class hung right next to my mother’s commemorating her graduation from the Gordon Keller School of Nursing in Tampa.

The message was clear: Pickerings were expected to graduate from high school and college and, if possible, pursue a graduate degree.

All of which I am proud to say I have accomplished.

This year, my elder son, Colin, continues this family tradition of high school

graduation and college education as he earns his diploma from Vero Beach High School and enters California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo’s College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences.

“Yay, Colin!”

My wife, Stephanie, and I are very proud of Colin for all that he has accomplished. When I look back

on what it has taken for this young man to reach this milestone, I am in awe.

Just a few years after Colin’s birth, my first wife, Debby, passed away. The loving kindness of family, friends, colleagues, and many others ensured that Colin and his sister, Olivia, despite the early trauma of losing their mother, would be supported to live healthy, prosperous lives.

According to David K. Moore, superintendent of schools for Indian River County, in 2021 the county’s high school graduation rate reached an all-time high with 95 percent of eligible students earning a diploma.

This is one of the highest graduation rates in Florida, improving by more than 15 percent since 2015. These improvements are reflected among students from every

The School District of Indian River County convened a task force in November 2021 to seek recommendations for growth in accordance with the district’s strategic plan. The CLIMATE Task Force consists of parents, grandparents, representatives from nonprofit organizations, businesses, and other community members. The group was charged with using academic data to recommend solutions to ongoing challenges to achieving “equity and excellence in each school within the system.”

According to Kyra Schafte, district coordinator of equity, one subgroup focused on strategies to increase minority student access to advanced coursework, such as Advanced Placement courses, dual or concurrent enrollment in classes that provide college credit, and International Baccalaureate courses. Based on its review of academic data, the group recommended that additional scaffolding be put in place for students as they transition from fifth to sixth grade, including parental support, peer mentoring, and a speaking series showcasing adults with varied educational and career pathways.

By proactively intervening at the middle school level, the plan aims “to change the trajectory of access” and set more students on a path that leads toward postsecondary education and rewarding careers.

VERO BEACH MAGAZINE JULY 2022

Stephanie’s eventual arrival, our marriage, her adoption of Colin and Olivia, and the addition of a third child, Grant, nearly guaranteed it. Together with Colin’s hard work and perseverance, this is what it has taken for the Pickering family to contribute to two important indicators of health and prosperity for our community: high school graduation and college access.

race and ethnicity represented in the School District of Indian River County.

Despite ongoing challenges to increase performance in early indicators such as third-grade reading proficiency, eighth-grade math proficiency, and attendance, Indian River County’s improving high school graduation rate demonstrates a strong commitment by our community to do whatever it takes to help our high school students to achieve.

In Colin’s case at VBHS, this commitment came from many highly capable and extremely dedicated teachers of honors and advanced placement courses, along with steady guidance from veteran counselor Jacqueline

Loughry. Beyond the resources needed to succeed in advanced courses, Colin also received exceptional support to gain valuable leadership and career experience through music and after-school employment.

Findings from the most recent Indian River County Community Needs Assessment, combined with updated data and information available through Indian River Community Foundation’s online database, suggest that educational attainment is one of the most significant predictors of future earnings, life expectancy, and health outcomes. At higher levels of education, our neighbors have greater opportunity for jobs that pay a living wage, offer health insurance, and

pay for more than just the basics of life.

Colin, Olivia, and Grant will all be fine. They have everything they need to succeed. Unfortunately, that is not the case for every student in our schools. In a community with such abundant resources, however, it really should be. It can be.

As I learned from serving on SDIRC’s CLIMATE (Convening Leaders in Maximizing Access to Education) Task Force over the past school year, improvement is still needed when it comes to ensuring that all students have the opportunity and support systems they need to set them on the vital pathway toward college and career success. With more than half of all Indian River County residents living either in poverty or just one paycheck away from it, promoting more access to advanced courses, career and technical training, and post-secondary education for all—especially minority students—is more important now than ever.

Futurist Buckminster Fuller’s words from more than 50 years ago emphasize

this point today: “Think of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-itall to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance.

We know now what we could never have known before— that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it

is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.”

The highly capable leadership at SDIRC, the dedicated principals, administrators, teachers, and other school staff deserve the entire community’s support to focus on the most important elements of our students’ academic success. They cannot spell success, however,

without “u.” Parents, students, and other community members must be part of this solution today and not contribute to a problem that has already shown its penchant for infinite regress.

If not, I am afraid it might be turtles all the way down.

The class of 2022, however, with all its achievements and triumph over serious challenges in the past few years, has given me hope and inspiration otherwise. ❀

t 63, Susan had the perfect storm for major hair loss: genetics, stress, and hormones.

Her new gynecologist had taken her off her estrogen supplement. Amidst the stress of selling her home in North Carolina and relocating to Vero Beach, she skipped her annual physical, which would have revealed a drop in her thyroid hormone level. By

summer, she noticed an unusually large amount of hair in the shower drain every time she washed her hair.

“Soon enough, I was truly getting bald on the top of my head, but all the doctors I consulted said there was nothing they could do,” she says. “They confirmed that I needed a small dose of thyroid supplement but said that it probably wouldn’t make

much of a difference. My new gynecologist told me, ‘The wigs they have these days are very good,’ but that was no consolation for me!”

Susan’s road to recovery began in Vero Beach, where she was prescribed a cream compounded with bioidentical hormones to mitigate the menopause symptoms that had resurfaced. At the suggestion of friends, she met with Anthony Martinez, certified trichologist (a

three-pronged approach to Susan’s condition, combining systemic, topical, and laser therapy. “In genetic thinning, the real culprit is the hormone dihydrotestosterone, or DHT,” says Martinez. “DHT, a byproduct of testosterone, causes hair follicles to shrink and make hair strands thinner, brittle, and fall out more easily.”

Oral finasteride—a medication approved by the FDA for treating male pattern hair loss—and several herbal products, such as saw palmetto, pygeum bark, pumpkin seed oil, and nettle root, have been shown to be effective DHT inhibitors.

Topical minoxidil, the only FDA-approved treatment for both male and female pattern hair loss, is a vasodilator that improves blood flow. It has been shown to be effective in regrowing hair, although it must be used continuously.

Susan began taking a specially formulated vitamin supplement to support stronger hair follicles and growth. She applied a five percent formulation of topical minoxidil daily to her scalp and visited the salon twice a week for 30-minute

“Waiting for your hair to grow is like watching paint dry,” she admits, “but after three months of faithfully following the regimen, I had new sprouts, and when I washed my hair, much less fell out.

“At first, I thought, with the addition of the thyroid

supplement and hormone cream, my hair would naturally stop falling out.

However, when I went away for five weeks and continued everything except the laser therapy, my hair started falling out again.

specialist in hair and scalp treatment), master hair stylist, and owner of Salon del Mar in Vero Beach’s Village Shops.

Martinez, who has been treating hair loss successfully since 2013, identified Susan’s condition as androgenetic (also called androgenic) alopecia, a progressive, hereditary type that is the most common cause of both male and female pattern hair loss.

“Female pattern hair loss,” Martinez explains, “usually begins in midlife and is most common after menopause, when the loss of estrogen also plays a role.

Women typically notice that their part is gradually getting wider and the hair around their temples is receding. They’ll notice more than the normal amount of hair accumulating in the shower drain.

The good news is this is highly treatable if caught early. We can stop the hair loss and typically get back 50 to 70 percent of what they’ve lost in the last seven years.”

After explaining the research done on hair loss, its causes, and treatment options, Martinez took a

establishing a healthy crop of hair, I continue with the vitamins and topical treatments and occasionally use a home version of the laser light therapy that looks like a baseball cap. Hair loss is not the mystery it once was; there really is hope for many of us.”

Approximately one in four Americans—50 million men and 30 million women—have androgenetic alopecia, according to the American Academy of Alopecia can be especially distressing, but in many cases, the prospects for stopping hair loss and generating hair growth are quite good.

Dermatology. More than 66 percent of men experience this hereditary form of pattern balding by age 60.

Similarly, more than half of postmenopausal women exhibit some degree of female pattern hair loss.

In a culture that considers hair to be a visual indicator of both beauty and health, it’s no wonder studies show that hair loss causes emotional stress and decreased self-esteem, particularly among women who are not comfortable with the alternatives of going bald or wearing a wig. It also helps explain why women spend twice as much money annually on hair care as men.

According to a study by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), more than 2 million people worldwide

sought either surgical or nonsurgical treatment for hair loss in 2021. The three most-prescribed nonsurgical treatments included oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

“Although androgenic alopecia accounts for about 80 percent of all hair loss, there are several types of alopecia related to underlying medical or environmental factors,” points out Dr. Anand Haryani, a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Iconic Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery.

Alopecia areata, for example, is an autoimmune disease that may cause hair loss on the head or the entire body. It is often linked with autoimmune disorders such as lupus or thyroid disease.

“It’s an all-hands-on-deck approach that begins from the inside out.”

– NICK WOLTJEN

“It’s perfectly normal to shed up to 100 strands of hair per day,” explains Haryani, “but when your body goes through something physically or emotionally traumatic like childbirth, malnutrition, a severe infection, major surgery, or extreme stress, you may rapidly shed hair within a short period of time. When the traumatic

event is over, hair typically stops shedding and begins to grow within six to nine months.” His practice has also been seeing COVIDrelated hair loss, likely caused by the fever and possibly exacerbated by the other stressors surrounding the pandemic.

Medical procedures such as chemotherapy can also disrupt the “life cycle”

of hair, resulting in hair loss. In many cases, hair loss during chemotherapy can be mitigated with an FDA-approved cooling cap, which helps constrict blood vessels, reducing the chemo’s access to hair follicles.

Some types of hair loss can be permanent because they involve scarring of the scalp. These forms of alopecia can be brought

about by particular medical conditions or even by hairstyles that stress the scalp.

“There is nothing worse for your hair than putting it in tight braids or cornrows,” cautions Haryani. “The constant pressure on your scalp can cause permanent scarring and hair loss.”

Haryani says, “The first step in treating hair loss is to identify what type of

alopecia a patient has. We begin with the patient’s history and basic blood work to make sure it’s not related to an underlying issue, such as a thyroid problem, a vitamin deficiency, or even a side effect of medication.

“We can successfully treat the 90 percent of our patients who have nonscarring types of alopecia due to genetics, hormone imbalances, and immune system disorders. Once a hair follicle has been destroyed, though, it is replaced by scar tissue, and

hair is unlikely to grow back.”

Treatment options at Iconic Dermatology include topical formulations of minoxidil and other compounds that stimulate hair follicles; oral prescription medications such as finasteride; laser therapy; and, in certain cases, microneedling with PRP. Over the past decade, PRP has emerged as a promising treatment for an array of health issues, including hair loss. In PRP therapy, a sample of the

patient’s own blood is spun in a centrifuge, separating out the platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration. The PRP is then injected into the area being treated.

Nick Woltjen, a physician assistant at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery, Dermatology and MedSpa, uses PRP injections as an add-on to a multitherapeutic approach to hair restoration. Depending upon the cause and extent of the

hair loss, treatment might include minoxidil plus PRP injections; minoxidil, oral finasteride, and PRP; hormonal therapy and PRP; or PRP plus laser therapy.

“It’s an all-hands-ondeck approach that begins from the inside out,” says Woltjen, who augments treatment regimens with vitamins, supplements, and hair-strengthening products. “More than 85 percent of patients with early-stage hair loss will respond to treatment by the six-month mark.”

Nick Woltjen demonstrates a platelet-rich plasma procedure at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery.

More advanced cases, he acknowledges, might be referred to a hair transplant specialist. A hair transplant involves harvesting hair from one area of a patient’s scalp and implanting it into another area of the scalp.

Regardless of the treatment, experts agree that the top priority is to stop hair loss in its tracks, followed closely by restoring follicle health and stimulating regrowth. The process requires time, patience, and

money; but the result may be well worth it.

“I was totally relieved after three to four months,” says Susan after Martinez’s treatments. “I have my confidence back.”

“As a hair stylist, it’s always satisfying to give someone a new color or cut,” says Martinez, “but to regrow someone’s hair that they thought they lost forever, that’s more satisfying than anything I could ever do for them.” ❀

Sea for Yourself IT’S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS AT JOEY & KIMMY’S SEAFOOD MARKET & RESTAURANT

f it doesn’t feel like home the first time you walk through the door of Joey & Kimmy’s Seafood Market & Restaurant, it will the second. It doesn’t take long to become a regular at a place that prizes relationships.

The establishment, housed in an unassuming building on U.S. Highway 1 at Eighteenth Street, has been a Vero Beach staple since Joey Fenyak opened the doors of Joey’s Seafood Shack in 2010. A fish counter on your left is stocked with fresh local and Northern seafood, flown in daily. “If we don’t have it, we can get it,” Joey says.

That confidence comes from the network of relationships he’s built during a half-century in the seafood industry. He started as a child digging clams for pocket change in Long Island and then parlayed that experience into a 32-year career at the Fulton Fish Market. When warmer climes tugged on the line in 2002, he took the bait, headed to Miami, and spent the next eight years wholesaling seafood all over the state. In 2010, the time seemed right to open a fish market in Vero Beach.

Enter Kimmy Coveny, who comes from a family of restaurant owners.

She brought the hospitality, her family’s Italian seafood recipes, a singing voice she inherited from her rock-star mother, Lynn Nixon of the Aquatones, and chops on the piano, which still gets plenty of use in a corner of the restaurant.

Kimmy Coveny and Joey Fenyak have been supplying Vero Beach residents with fresh seafood in a friendly environment for 12 years.

Crisp white linens elevate the ambience of the dining room, nestled in among shelves well stocked with specialty crackers, stuffed olives, pastas (including Brooklyn’s famed Pastosa), boutique wines, and more.

Cold cases are filled with cheeses and “take and bake items,” including eggplant parmigiana, lobster bisque, and customer favorite goat cheese ravioli.

Want something different? Kimmy will

prepare it so you can take it home and pop it into the oven. Would you rather just get the recipe and prepare it yourself? She’ll do that, too.

Today, the market is open, and lunch is served six days a week.

Dinners are reserved for private parties and invitation-only events.

“Things just fall into place,” Kimmy says, looking back over the years. “It’s a labor of love.”

Kimmy’s Seafood Special SERVES 2 This Italian seafood stew originated in a residential neighborhood of Naples. The shellfish are cooked in a light marinara sauce with wine and seasonings. The dish can be served on its own with a good, crusty Italian bread or, if preferred, over pasta.

12 littleneck clams 12 mussels 3 tbsp. butter plus a splash of olive oil (to keep butter from burning) 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 cups dry white wine 10 medium shrimp, shelled and deveined 10 sea scallops 1 lb. squid, cut into rings Course sea salt (to help draw out sand during soaking) Marinara Sauce 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 (12-ounce) can diced tomatoes (or about 1 lb. plum tomatoes) 6 bay leaves 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped 1/2 cup red wine (we use Cabernet)

Place clams and mussels in a bath of cold water and add 1/4 cup coarse sea salt per 4 cups of water. Stir and soak for 30 minutes to remove any sand and grit.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, begin the marinara sauce by heating olive oil and adding onion and garlic. Sauté over low to medium heat until soft and translucent. Add diced tomatoes, bay leaves, parsley, and wine, and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring often. (If using plum tomatoes, blend quickly in a food processor first, resulting in a slightly chunky consistency.)

Drain the clams and mussels and scrub well with a wire brush under running water. Remove the beard from the mussels.

In a large sauté pan, melt butter and add garlic, clams, and mussels. Then add wine, cover, and simmer about 5 minutes or until the shells open. Discard any unopened shells.

Add shrimp, scallops, and squid; simmer just long enough for the shrimp to turn pink and the scallops and squid to become opaque.

Remove bay leaves from the marinara sauce and add the sauce to the seafood.

Heat through and serve immediately.

Kimmy’s Baked Clams Oreganata with Feta SERVES 2 The addition of feta cheese transforms this classic into a sensational appetizer.

12 topneck clams in the shell 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs 2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped 2–3 tbsp. olive oil

1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 cup feta cheese 1/2 tbsp. butter Splash of white wine

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

To facilitate shucking the clams, spread them on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 2–3 minutes. Using a clam knife, pry open each shell, discarding the top shells.

In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, olive oil, and salt and blend well.

Sprinkle bread crumb mixture on top of each clam to the edges of its shell, making sure the mixture covers the clam sufficiently to keep it moist. Then sprinkle the feta on top, dab with butter and wine, and bake 12–15 minutes. Serve immediately.

ypically, a collectible car is sold and resold, restored and modified, losing bits of its past with each new owner. That’s not the case with the Chevrolet Impala Super Sport shown here.

“My grandfather bought this car for my grandmother in 1964,” John Sansburn says. “My grandmother’s brother, a Chevrolet salesman, sold it to him.” Sixteen years later, Sansburn bought the car from his grandfather for $400, and he’s had it ever since.

“Back in 1980, these were just old

Chevrolets,” Sansburn says. “A lot of people said, ‘What do you want this old thing for?’” He explains, “I would never go out and buy one of these, but riding in it with my grandma is the earliest thing I can remember. It has sentimental value, and once it’s sold, that’s gone forever.”

The Chevy Impala is one of the great success stories in automotive history. The name was first used on a 1956 concept car, the Corvette Impala, which toured in GM’s famed Motorama show. In 1958, the Impala debuted as

a top-of-the-line version of the Bel Air, available as a hardtop or convertible coupe. With 181,469 cars sold that year, more than half with a V-8 engine, the Impala was off and running.

Over the next three years, the Impala, now a separate series, averaged a vigorous 485,000 sales a year.

It was just the kind of car early 1960s drivers wanted: a full-size, posh, and powerful vehicle that put the fincrazed styling of the previous decade in the rearview mirror.

As remarkable as those early numbers were, Impala sales only increased, cementing Chevrolet’s dominance over the competition. In 1962, the first full year that the high-performance Super Sport was offered, 704,900 Impalas were sold. That total grew by about 100,000 each of the next two years, Remarkably this is the car’s original upholstery betraying few signs of its years of use

During those years, Chevrolet accounted for 25 percent of the U.S. market.

In 1966, Impalas still sold well, but the car’s glory days were numbered.

Chevrolet introduced the Caprice that year, displacing the Impala as the line-topping model. American tastes had also changed, with a new generation of drivers that preferred smaller and lighter muscle cars. The Impala continued on for another 20 years, but the magic was gone.

One niche that continued to embrace the Impala, the 1964 model in particular, was lowrider culture. Sansburn’s ’64 Impala SS is the exact same model Cheech & Chong drove in their 1978 movie Up in Smoke—although that vehicle had a few notable cosmetic modifications: a Packard cormorant hood ornament with orange wings; two speakers protruding from the front grille; a matte brown paint job with silver spray-paint patches; a pale blue driver’s side door; a chainlink steering wheel; and an interior covered in blue-and-purple Muppet fur.

Of course, Sansburn’s car has one thing that Cheech & Chong’s car didn’t: a family connection. “When I entertained buying this car,” Sansburn says, “my neighbor said, ‘You gotta buy it from your grandpa, no matter what you do.’” Thinking back on that now, he adds, “I’ll always owe him a debt of gratitude that I did.” ❀

echnology has found its way into most aspects of our lives. Electrocardiogram machines smaller than a deck of cards give instant heart rate readings at the touch of a sensor. Our smart watches track our steps and bug us when we are too sedentary, like mothers of teenagers playing video games all day.

For dog owners, new

technology to track the movements and activity levels of their best friends is getting smaller and more sensitive, enabling those of us with escape-artist types to recover them quickly and in one piece. Security cameras may pick up your dog’s exit, but it won’t track him once he leaves your property—something that can happen in a flash.

Jon Rollins of Northbrook, Illinois felt a

kinship with Lex, the deaf dog he had adopted. Rollins is deaf, too, so Speak Rescue and Sanctuary in St. Louis, a pet rescue catering to hearing-impaired dogs, recommended that Lex get fitted with a GPS tracking collar. The collar was made

by Fi, a company that partners with rescues like Speak to donate collars for flight-risk dogs.

Lex was wearing the collar when she went out

into the fenced yard to play one day, but a utility worker had left the gate open just enough for Lex to squeeze out. Rollins panicked but remembered the collar’s tracking capability and grabbed his phone.

The app alerted him that

Lex had wandered out of the normal range, so Rollins jumped into action. A nearby busy intersection was the main concern, since the dog could hear neither approaching cars nor a voice calling for her.

Rollins followed the app’s

Start with both pets on opposite sides of a gate in the house. Watch the dog’s body language. Looking at the cat and then glancing away is a calming signal and may communicate to the kitten that the dog means no harm. Yawning on the dog’s part indicates a bit of stress, which would be natural. Slow wagging is very encouraging. Conversely, a hard stare and stiff body from the dog shows stalking behavior. The kitten should react to this display by high-tailing it out of there. On the kitten’s part, you are looking for curiosity without too much fear. Constant, wide-eyed hissing suggests the kitten is nowhere near ready to be pals. Don’t rush this process. Household harmony is worth waiting for.

map and easily found Lex just a couple of blocks away, lying upside down on a neighbor’s front lawn, happily getting a belly rub.

Fi collars use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS along with cellular connections to continuously track your dog’s location. “Fi was the first low-energy wearable built to run on AT&T’s LTE Cat-M1 cellular network, which is a relatively new low-power cellular network,” says Lucy Luneva, public relations manager for Fi. The collar contains an LTE chip to beam data to the network. Proprietary algorithms determine when to jump among these technologies to ration power and keep the collar active for longer periods when away from the charging base.

Batteries last up to two days in lost-dog mode, and three months around the house when charged regularly. “We prioritized battery life, since if a dog

is lost, that’s the most impactful thing keeping the dog out of harm’s way,” says Fi founder and CEO Jonathan Bensamoun.

dogs with something that looks like a junction box and feels like an anchor.

Bensamoun is not a fan of adding lots of new tech unless there is hard evidence that it actually works. “As usual with new technologies, there is a large gap between what is theoretically possible and what can be achieved reliably in the field at scale,” he says.

Bensamoun sees more customization coming to tracking devices, but to achieve that goal, the devices will need to collect lots more data. “We will certainly continue to innovate on technology, but our approach to the product is to do more with less,” he explains. The growth area will be health and wellness

tailored to the individual dog. “We want to provide hard data to veterinarians so they can make more informed recommendations to the parents; that’s what we hope to facilitate,” he adds. “In time, we want to be able to detect potential issues and recommend to the parents to take their dogs to the vet before an issue becomes more substantial.”

Another application of this technology, the tracking of wild birds and other animals, is a bit more challenging, since they generally won’t sit for a treat while researchers fit them with tags. Field studies have amassed useful information from observing where the study subject goes to find food

or a mate and when and where resting periods occur, but someone holding a receiver has to be close enough to gather this data.

The thought of researchers thrashing through rain forests teeming with mosquitoes while pointing the unit up to catch a signal certainly arouses empathy, since many of us have walked out onto our driveways and tilted our cell phones skyward seeking a better connection.

Martin Wikelski, a director at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany, has worked for the past decade to make tracking wildlife a much larger concern that can be accessed from a computer screen or even a smartphone. His brainchild

ICARUS (International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space) uses orbiting satellites as receivers that ping locations of tagged animals and birds and log their movements around the world every 30 seconds. The first readings came from the International Space Station last November.

Wikelski subscribes to the assumption that wild birds and other animals can act as sentinels by showing us where and how large their migration corridors are, how they alter their behavior just ahead of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and how they adapt to extreme weather.

A simple app download makes this information available to anyone, anywhere in the world so that citizen scientists can add their own observations when a tagged animal is in view. Currently, Wikelski and his team are working on second-generation solutions including smaller and lighter transmitting tags and increased satellite coverage to grow the worldwide internet of animals.

The future is techdriven, but dog owners should not lean on tools like tracking collars to the exclusion of paying close attention to their dogs.

No one knows your dog better than you do, even a smart collar. ❀

Follow the Money FOR DEBUT NOVELIST JAY NEWMAN A TALE OF CASH AND CONSPIRACIES DRAWS ON REAL-LIFE OBSERVATIONS

BY JULIA DOUGLAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY KELLY ROGERS

H

ow does one describe a man who, after a long, eventful career in international finance, hits the jackpot by having his first novel scooped up by a top literary agent, accepted by a mainstream publisher, and handled by an eminent senior editor? Perhaps one could call such a person a whiz kid or a superstar; in his words, he is “damned lucky.”

Colin Harrison, vice president and editor in chief at Scribner, a division of Simon & Schuster, is debut novelist Jay Newman’s editor. “Once in a blue moon, along comes a wildly talented first-time novelist who has deep off-therecord experience in the real world that few, if any, writers have,” Harrison says.

He goes on to explain how the book came about: “Jay Newman spent four decades in the highest echelons of global finance. He knew all the players and had seen what they did to make such money, how they spent it and how they hid it, and what political power such sums conveyed to them.

“Newman was writing a page-turning thriller that revealed a world unknown to anyone not inside it. He called the novel Undermoney, a Japanese slang term that his son picked up from a Tokyo-based restaurateur. It is a term of art for secret, dark lucre that may be used to commit dark, secret acts.”

Jay Newman_JULY22.indd 91

Undermoney focuses on seven American operatives who don’t like the way the world is going. To get one of their members elected to an influential position, they divert $2.4 billion for a drop in the Jordanian desert, then secretly take over a hedge fund to use as a front. That fund is the world’s largest dark-money fund; they use it to achieve their goal of influencing domestic and international politics and enhancing U.S. power.

Newman says his dramatic transition into a published novelist began with his retirement in 2016 from Elliott Management after a 20-year career as a senior partner and hedge fund manager. He specialized in sovereign debt issues in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Africa, and led a successful 15-year battle to force Argentina to pay its defaulted debt. For this feat, Newman became known as a Wall Street wizard.

His knowledge of the shady side of international finance prompted him to think seriously of writing a novel on the subject. He knew fiction would be the proper genre if he were to adequately describe this dark, intriguing phenomenon and its malevolent players.

“Working with a top editor like Harrison was enlightening,” Newman says. “He was vehement that Undermoney needed sex and insisted on it. I duly added steamy sexual

5/26/22 2:52 PM

Newman’s debut novel received a favorable review in The Wall Street Journal, a paper that had reported previously on his work in international finance.

“I never dreamed that my fictional world of manipulative oligarchs would invade reality so quickly.”

scenes, and later he complained with a laugh that now there was too much sex.”

One of the key characters in Undermoney, Don Carter, is based on a colleague and friend from Newman’s earlier stint at Morgan Stanley. He was a military man, very patriotic, who left Wall Street to reenlist in the army and was called on for various dangerous secret missions. Newman’s involvement in the world of espionage, strengthened through both this friendship and his dealings with endemically corrupt countries, guaranteed a trove of material for a work of fiction.

“There are no heroes in my novel,” says Newman. “Each of my characters think themselves to be heroic, honorable, and patriotic, but one man’s hero is another man’s villain.

And even if each one is heroic in his own way, there is a single-minded pursuit of ends rendering them blind to the horrors of their means.”

He offers an example: “One character, the Russian commander Volk, operates from his yacht using an iPod as a weapon to eliminate his enemies thousands of miles away.”

The book includes scenes, such as one of Russian oligarchs gathered in Latvia, that eerily echo the world’s current situation.

“I never dreamed that my fictional world of manipulative oligarchs would invade reality so quickly,” Newman says. “I had intended Undermoney as a cautionary tale—and it still is, because it deals with how the West lost Russia.”

How did this inventive mind find its way to Vero Beach and Windsor? The Northern winter of 2020 was bitter cold and, compounded with the hovering threat of COVID, made life very confining. Newman and his wife, Elissa Kramer, a retired radiologist, spent weekends in the shadow of the Berkshire Mountains, in the village of Millerton, where they met recent retirees Marion and Willem de Vogel.

“It was evident from our first encounter with Jay and Elissa that this was an unusually bright and interesting couple,” says Marion de Vogel, a native of Vero Beach. “They built a marvelous house on Silver Mountain, enhanced by vegetable, fruit, and flower gardens that Elissa cultivated with skill and imagination. Soon after our initial meeting, they joined us in the local Millbrook Hunt Club, where we gallop on 5,600 acres of conservation land.”

De Vogel continues, “I was born and bred in the low-key village of Riomar, where we spend our winters. I guess I casually mentioned our life in Vero Beach to Jay and Elissa, but never suggested that they might be interested in living

Jay Newman_JULY22.indd 93

there. In the winter of 2020, Jay rented a house on the ocean in Riomar.”

“In 2020, for the first time in our married life, I broached the subject of going to a warm winter resort,” Newman explains. “On our first visit, Elissa and I liked Vero Beach, and Windsor’s beauty and tranquility made an instant impression. We were fortunate to find an oceanfront house for sale at Windsor that we snapped up.”

Newman is writing a sequel to Undermoney. Titled Uncertainty, it focuses on the relationship between the United States and China. As with Undermoney, Scribner is the publisher.

Asked where he usually writes, his wife gestures with a grin, “He works right here at the kitchen table, with his papers typically spread all over.”

While fast-paced Undermoney exudes racy sex and violent bloodshed, the scene of Newman working at the kitchen table with his two goldendoodles dozing in their beds close by, waves crashing just outside the windows, is a peaceful one. `

What’s Brewing TAKE A ‘TOUR’ OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY’S SIX-PACK OF BREWERIES TO SEE WHAT SETS THEM APART AND WHAT YOU’LL FIND TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST

BY PATRICK MERRELL

AMERICAN ICON BREWERY Stylish Ambience With its large, airy space, including two levels inside and plenty of open-air seating outside, Vero Beach’s former diesel power plant is a great setting for enjoying craft brews and delicious food.

“We’re always going to have the staples: the IPAs, the lagers, and the ales,” says manager Adam Hernandez. “But we do see a lot of people who want to go for more adventurous beers.”

Power Plant, an American-style amber lager, is a popular traditional choice, as is Freedom Torch, a milk stout. Among the more exotic offerings is Florida Heat sour ale, made with Fresno peppers and blood oranges. It uses a milder pepper than is typical in a spicy beer, giving it a nice hot flavor, but without the burn. Two other sour beers of note are Strawberry Shortcake, a recent gold-medal winner in Florida, and Rainbow Sherbet. Those might sound as if they would be cloying, but I tasted the latter and was pleasantly surprised by its restrained flavors.

Of all of the county’s breweries, American Icon has the most complete food menu. It offers burgers and other handhelds, stone pizzas, and salads, as well as a nice array of appetizers, such as pub wings, buffalo cauliflower, and coconut shrimp.

“We just won best burger in Indian River County,” Hernandez says.

“And almost everything on our menu is made in-house.”

Tuesday night is trivia night, an event held at other breweries as well, and the weekend features an ever-changing lineup of live bands.

PAREIDOLIA BREWING COMPANY Inviting Pub Pareidolia Brewing Company is the kind of place where everybody knows your name. “People who have never been here,” says co-owner Pete Anderson, “walk in and say, ‘I don’t know what it is about this place, but I love it.’” The smiling-beer-barrel logo behind the bar does a good job of capturing that friendly vibe; people are here to enjoy a good beer, some hearty pub grub, and one another’s company. At any one moment, there might be a band playing, a wedding or a child’s birthday party going on, or Vero Cycling members gathering for a monthly “Beer and Dog Ride.”

Anderson and his co-owner and wife, Lynn, opened Pareidolia in 2014, making it the county’s longest-operating brewery. “32958 is still our best-selling beer, a New England hazy IPA,” Anderson says. “Everybody here calls it ‘Zip Code,’ because that’s our zip code and this building used to be the post office.” The second-most popular choice is Mel’s Gold, a refreshing, golden-hued ale that drinks like a lager.

Two other notable options, when they’re on tap, are Dubbeldolia, a Belgian strong ale that won a Florida bronze medal, and Hop Crop, a cream ale that uses 100 percent locally grown hops.

Pareidolia has a front porch with seating and umbrellas, and on the side is the Sunset Stage, a wooden deck for live entertainment. The construction of the stage was entirely crowdfunded.

WALKING TREE BREWERY Cool Hangout

VERO BEACH MAGAZINE

Walking Tree’s building was originally an aviation supply warehouse, built in 1945 by the U.S. Navy. When renovating it, manager Brooke Malone says, “We purposely designed it to be very, very casual—a little bit gritty and raw.” The combination of high ceilings, exposed wood timbers, and two fully opened roll-up doors creates a cool space for kicking back.

“It’s not uncommon to see your grandma and grandpa in here right next to a family with kids,” Malone says. It’s also a popular destination for 20- and 30-somethings. “We have a broad scope,” she says. And with no table service, you’re free to do whatever you like: get a beer from the bar, order from a food truck outside, or just chill out.

“Our Walking Tree IPA has kind of that mid-zone flavor profile,” Malone says. “It’s not too hoppy, but just enough that people enjoy it. It’s on the shelf at Publix, and we move a lot of it.” Another top choice is the Babycakes Oatmeal Stout, a national gold-medal winner. “My husband named it for me,” Malone says. “I’m Babycakes.” Her husband, Mike, is Walking Tree’s head brewer.

For something different, Malone suggests Barnacled Manatee Barleywine, a strong beer with a hint of dark fruit to it.

“Between the barley wine and our sour beer,” Malone says. “I can win over a non-beer drinker about half the time.”

There’s always something going on at Walking Tree, including the brewery’s sixth-anniversary party July 16.

MASH MONKEYS BREWING COMPANY Neighborhood Bar Walk into Mash Monkeys and you’ll likely be greeted with a welcoming nod from one of the regulars and a friendly hello from the brewpub’s do-everything manager, Angela Tuinman. A sweeping L-shaped bar is the central feature of the space, with 10 to 14 brews typically on tap, notably lagers and IPAs. There’s also a free pool table, unique among the county’s breweries.

“One of the reasons our lagers are so popular,” says co-founder Derek Gerry, “is because we have a large blue-collar demographic in town, and that’s what they gravitate towards.” Revenge Schwarzbier, a Florida bronze-medal winner, and The Old Man’s Vienna Lager are two favorites. Extra Pazza is a popular double IPA. Although there’s no kitchen, food trucks usually show up on weekends. In addition, DoughBoyz Pizza is located right across the parking lot, and it, along with other nearby restaurants, will deliver right to your barstool. There are also several indoor tables and a few places to sit outside. Weekends often include live music.

Since Mash Monkeys doesn’t distribute its products, Patrick Kirchner, the other co-founder, says, “We can do a lot of experimental things without worrying about high volume.” For the past two years, Mash Monkeys has also served its quaffs at the Schacht Groves farm-to-table dinners in Vero Beach.

SAILFISH BREWING COMPANY Casually Elevated Sailfish Brewing, headquartered in Fort Pierce, opened a small brewpub in Vero Beach just over a year ago. “This is our first satellite location,” says Tori Boyd, the taproom manager. “And we wanted to bridge the gap between a restaurant with good food and also have that brewery feel, so it feels kind of like home.” The space is intimate and relaxing, split equally between an indoor bar and table area and a covered patio with tables and two fire pits.

“We try to use as many local ingredients as we can,” Boyd says.

One example is Don’t Poke the Bear, an imperial honey blonde ale. It has a definite orange-blossom honey taste to it, but in a refined way that’s subtly sweet and very drinkable.

Another notable brew is the South Florida PGA Pale Ale. “We partnered with the PGA, and we’re their official beer for South Florida,” Boyd says. That beverage, which debuted at the Honda Classic back in February, is available in takeout six-packs.

The food menu features a nice array of small plates, flatbreads, sandwiches, and salads. “It’s casual,” Boyd explains, “but a little elevated.” Boyd has also put together a nice wine list, leaning on the expertise she gained while working at Cobalt.

Sailfish hosts live entertainment on weekend afternoons, rents out part of its space for special events, and has recently introduced a once-a-month oyster night using farmed oysters from Sebastian.

ORCHID ISLAND BREWERY Returning Soon Alden and Valerie Bing opened Orchid Island Brewery in Vero Beach in 2014, the first craft brewery in the county. However, having outgrown their location on Ocean Drive, and with the pandemic and government shutdowns complicating matters, they closed the brewpub to the public in 2020. That space is now home to Sailfish Brewing.

“It was a blessing in disguise,” Alden Bing says. “It created an opportunity to pursue the former Hogan & Sons packinghouse.”

That 3-acre site is located just north of 27th Street next to U.S. 1 in Vero Beach. “While the public can’t visit the new location yet,” he says, “Orchid Island’s Star Ruby Double India Pale Ale and Indian River Grapefruit India Pale Ale can be found locally.”

ink grass and silver palms. Passionflowers, gumbo limbo trees, resurrection ferns, and night-scented orchids. Do these plants sound exotic? They do indeed; and yet they are also native to our area. In the lush subtropical environment of Florida, native species are flamboyant and fascinating. Since their cultivation also has environmental benefits, they are attracting increasing attention from gardeners, homeowners, and landscape architects.

Consider the following question: What is the most widespread weed in your yard?

Landscape designer Krista MacLeod of Rock City Gardens in Sebastian recalls that one of her favorite college professors offered an intriguing answer to this question: “The most widespread weed in your yard is grass.”

That perspective is expanded upon by Lisa Chapin, a landscape architect who was involved in a Warwick, New York project that won four Green Globes—the highest level of certification by the Green Building Initiative, a prestigious international organization that recognizes excellence in environmentally sustainable design.

Chapin notes that in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England, estates would have areas of close-cropped green grass; however, the only reason the grass was close-cropped was that flocks of sheep and goats were grazing there.

Eventually, she explains, “people wanted that look, but they didn’t want the animals.” Thus, an industry developed to reproduce it through artificial and invasive means such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides as well as gasoline-driven lawn mowers. In contrast, Chapin says, “Native plants, when used properly, are much more resistant to insects and diseases,” making chemical usage superfluous, and they do not require the regular use of lawn mowers.

As MacLeod puts it, such environmentally friendly landscaping involves “working with nature instead of spraying everything.” And in the Vero Beach area, pesticides and fertilizers that are sprayed onto lawns can run off into the Indian River Lagoon and thus constitute a major peril to marine life and to the health of the entire ecosystem.

The replacement of lawns with native plants is therefore increasingly desirable.

But does it sound daunting? MacLeod admits, “Getting rid of all your grass at once

TRY THIS AT HOME It’s landscaping day in Marc Spiess’s Sebastian neighborhood, where his home stands out among a sea of lawns.

He has to speak over the noise of the loud mowers rumbling past his home. His yard doesn’t need mowing. He has removed nearly every plant that isn’t functional in order to support insects and wildlife to mitigate the effects of development. The 140 plant species in his gardens are not just Florida natives; many of them are indigenous to Indian River and Brevard counties.

In the scrub habitat demonstration garden in the front yard, plants are grouped in their natural communities. Coastal hammock plantings along the south side of the house, teeming with bees and bu erflies, offer shade that reduces his air-conditioning needs. In the backyard, a mature oak is home to six species of air plants.

Spiess, who works as a naturalist at the Environmental Learning Center, and his family have done all the work themselves, including growing 60 to 70 percent of the plants in their backyard. He recommends being thoughtful before you begin, ge ing advice, and making a list of possible plants.

As an experienced landscape designer, she has a practical strategy to offer.

Homeowners can begin with a native plant bed. By removing an area of grass and replacing it with native plants, they will be giving themselves a manageable starting point. “Learn to maintain that area; then, let it grow or add more beds.” Over time, an entire lawn can be gradually replaced with plantings of native species.

Robin Pelensky, landscape architect with Surlaterre Landscape Architecture in Vero Beach, has a similar approach. For homeowners reluctant to make a change, she shows them colorful pictures of native plants and describes their relatively low maintenance requirements. For many people, that’s enough to get them interested. For people who remain hesitant, she’ll say, “Let’s do the back 10 feet.”

But how do you replace something as seemingly basic as grass? One method is simply to use native grasses, which can thrive naturally without the kinds of fertilizers required for the familiar lawn grasses. Moreover, the change will often add interest and color. Muhly grass is a native ground cover plant that has unexpected and soothing hues of pink and lavender.

Fakahatchee grass, another native species, has tiny flowers that can be yellow, white, or ochre in color. Various species of native ferns can also be used for ground cover.

Another ground cover option is the coontie plant, which serves as the host plant for the atala butterfly—a beautiful creature with iridescent blue spots on its velvety black wings. In the past, the coontie plant was nearly wiped out because it was being used extensively during the First World War to produce flour for military rations; without its host plant, the atala butterfly was endangered and, for a time, even thought to be extinct.

GARDEN VARIETY Three or four years ago, the roughly 4,800 square feet of Jim and Katy Dyreby’s backyard in Indian Trails was all sod. Today, it’s home to bu erflies, bees, rabbits, and 158 different native and Florida-friendly plants. Landscape architect Robin Pelensky worked with Dyreby to design the space. “You have to be willing to experiment,” Dyreby says.

Four zones comprise the yard: sunny dry, sunny wet, shady dry, and shady wet. Dyreby keeps an eye on his plants to see how they are doing, moving them among zones as needed. He tracks each plant on a detailed spreadsheet that indicates whether the plant is a Florida native (nearly all are) and includes the plant’s common name, botanical name, and status, along with a yes/no column headed “Rabbits Like?”

The entry for the painted leaf or Euphorbia cyathophora, for example, stands out for the double “Y” in the rabbits column and a status note that reads “Rabbits ate!” The Jamaican caper, Quadrella jamaicensis, on the other hand, is “flowering, happy,” with nary a rabbit in sight.

Dyreby, who retired from his career as an orthopedic surgeon a er 35 years to become a farmer—he and his wife own the Dyreby Family Organic Farm in Wisconsin—spends about two hours a day in his garden, “wandering around, watching bu erflies, and visualizing how the various plants will fill the available spaces as they mature….” Actual maintenance of the space takes much less time. Katy quips, “Jim used

to make rounds on his patients; now he makes rounds on his plants.”

Blanket flower is perfect for Florida landscapes due not only to its beauty but also to its hardiness in the face of heat sand and salt

5/26/22 3:25 PM

Thankfully, the declaration was premature, and the widespread restoration of the coontie plant in the Florida environment has helped restore the atala population. The story is a fine example of the value of native plants. In fact, MacLeod notes that when people tell her they “don’t like bugs,” she will ask them how they feel about butterflies. After all, butterflies are insects, and as such they can be harmed by pesticides and helped by native plants.

MacLeod also offers the practical tip that when selecting plants, homeowners need not always be literal about the term “native” in order to

have environmentally friendly landscaping. “Caribbean plants are often Florida friendly,” she explains, “and many are wonderful for pollinators, so as long as they’re not causing harm, and as long as they’re not considered invasive, they’re fine too.”

The orange geiger tree is a plant that can thrive in both Florida and the Caribbean; although the cooler winter temperatures in our area are a risk, the tree provides an intriguing example of how gardeners can learn to trust nature. The tree is the host plant for the geiger tortoise beetle, an iridescent green insect that eats so many leaves, it can seem to be attacking the tree.

However, MacLeod says, “The beetles are actually pruning the tree; it comes back more beautiful than before.”

Thus, instead of using an insecticide, a gardener can let nature take its course, knowing that the tree will rejuvenate with its torch-like blossoms more flamboyantly alive than ever.

In cultivating native plants, especially trees, patience is important.

MacLeod reassures gardeners, “Native trees may not seem to do much at first, but they’re developing their root systems. Be patient.

“Planting for immediate gratification is expensive and not best for natives, which usually like to go in

RESOURCES The University of Florida offers extensive information about the choices available in native plants, as well as how to care for them, at sfyl.ifas.ufl.edu/lawn-and-garden/native-plants and a guide designed specifically for the Treasure Coast at edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/EP348.

The Florida Native Plant Society is devoted to the preservation, conservation, and restoration of Florida’s native plants and offers a wealth of information. You can find them at fnps.org. You can connect with other native-plant enthusiasts at the local Eugenia chapter by visiting ircnativeplants. org for more information.

Did you know? The Florida-friendly landscaping statute protects homeowners’ rights to install native landscaping. It states, “A deed restriction or covenant may not prohibit or be enforced so as to prohibit any property owner from implementing Florida-friendly landscaping on his or her land….”

more gradually.” In the long run, that process makes for healthier and more extensive root systems—and stronger trees. Live oak, gumbo limbo, pigeon plum, and red mulberry are good choices for native or Florida-friendly trees. In the category of palms, among the trees MacLeod recommends are sabal palm, thatch palm, silver palm, and buccaneer palm—the last being aptly named for the Treasure Coast.

The Pelican Island Audubon Society has a program offering free saplings of live oaks, bald cypresses, and other native trees. PIAS President Richard Baker hopes that in years to come, these saplings will enhance the habitat of area birds and provide valuable nesting sites. “It all works together,” he says of native plants and the bird population. For more information on the program, visit pelicanislandaudubon.org.

Looking for flowers? Sweet bay magnolia, marlberry, and lignum vitae (known as the tree of life for its historical usage in medicine) are good choices, along with vines such as coral honeysuckle and passionflower, both of which are attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies.

For hedges, options include cocoplum, sea lavender, and saw palmetto.

Selecting multiple species provides insurance against pests and weather changes, because you are less likely to lose everything at once. The principle of biodiversity is practical as well as environmentally friendly.

The natural world is full of variety, and the cultivation of native plants can help foster it. Lisa Chapin notes philosophically, “A natural landscape is changing all the time. From year to year, it’s always morphing. That kind of natural cycle can be beautiful. Take a walk in the woods, even unkempt woods, and you discover all sorts of things.” Landscaping with native plants is a way to return to that indigenous beauty. “It goes back to a natural balance.” `

street popped up on the screen. It had potential written all over it.

“I could tell from the Google map that the house had a really good view, so we bought it sight unseen. Our plan was to live in it for a few years, eventually expanding to have more room for grandchildren,” Bob explains.

Unfortunately, the house was below flood elevation requirements, so expanding was not an option. On to plan B: clearing the land and building new.

“We’ve never built a house before, but we’ve always wanted to, and we wanted it to be contemporary,” says Bob. “Nikki and I were a little concerned at first, as there aren’t

Starfish Drive_JULY22.indd 118

many contemporary homes in Vero Beach, so we knew we had to find the right architect.”

They didn’t have far to look. Ed Weber had designed a contemporary home for the Moseses’ nephew, and he had an office in Charleston as well as one in Sarasota. “We were both impressed with Ed’s work, plus the way he listens to clients and involves them in the design process,” says Bob, who, while reading The Wall Street Journal one morning, came up with an idea.

“I saw this house that was literally two glass tubes sitting on top of each other and the bottom one was rotated. I thought, ‘Hey, maybe we could do something like that,’ so I

told Ed. A week later he called and said, ‘I think I have something.’ He had rotated the bottom half of the house so that when you walk in the front door the view is straight out to the river. It’s almost like the house is floating on the water.”

It was the perfect solution. The Moseses had an odd-shaped lot near the end of a cul-de-sac, and the front yard setback made designing a house with a straight twostory front face a challenge. Weber used that challenge as a benefit to the streetscape by breaking the scale of the house down with one- and two-story projecting and receding building volumes, and by setting the house as far back from the street as possible so you don’t know it is there until you come to it.

“Ed was so detailed and helped us so much,” Bob says. “He would drive over from Sarasota and go with us to pick out stone and wood, he’d go to the plumbing store. Whatever it took, he was there. Ed also brought Barth Construction on board;

Even before seeing the property in person, the Moseses knew the view would be spectacular.

the project manager, Mike O’Neal, was great. We started construction in June 2018 and finished in October 2019.

Everything came together so well. There’s not a single thing we would change.”

Nikki agrees and credits interior designer Pat Bibbee in the five-star reviews. “Pat has helped us for decades, ever since we were newlyweds. One of the things I like about her is she’s versatile; she works with the architecture. Our home in Charleston is very traditional, so different from what we have here.”

As someone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen, Nikki was particular about the appliances she chose. “We opted for all Thermador appliances because of the design and technology. The induction cooktop is wonderful. I can customize the surface every time I cook, and cleaning it is a breeze. We also have two dishwashers. Even though it’s not

a new idea, it’s new to me. We love having our family and friends here, and a second dishwasher keeps cleanup moving quickly.”

With family in mind, Bibbee chose performance fabrics that hold up to sticky fingers and spilled milk. “The stools around our island are covered in a material that looks exactly like white leather, but it’s a man-made marvel,” Nikki enthuses. “With six grandchildren under the age of 6, it’s perfect. Black raspberry jam is our favorite, and it wipes right off. All of our furniture is bionic like that.”

An avid kayaker, Nikki made sure Weber included what she calls the “boathouse,” a designated room on the main level of the house where she and Bob store their kayak gear.

With direct access to the river via a floating dock, it’s away from the outdoor entertainment area and infinity pool, a popular splash spot and one of Bob’s favorite places to be.

Bob Moses wouldn’t change a single aspect of the 4,800-square-foot coastal contemporary home.

“One morning, Bob called us to hurry down to the dock.

There was a river otter casually lying there cracking open a shellfish and enjoying his breakfast.”

“I keep the water at 86 degrees, and I’m in it at least once or twice a day. When the grandkids are here they live in it.”

Another feature the younger set finds appealing is the elevator. “I went back and forth about putting one in,” Bob admits. “Then, when I thought about the fact we’re all getting older, I looked at it almost as an insurance policy.”

There are many things Nikki and Bob Moses enjoy about the house where they and family members spend the better part of the year, but it’s the small surprises that delight.

“One morning, Bob called us to hurry down to the dock,” says Nikki. “There was a river otter casually lying there cracking open a shellfish and enjoying his breakfast.

“Another day we watched a mother dolphin teaching her baby how to catch a fish.

The baby, too small to swim on his own full-time, was doing a fish version of drafting on his mother’s body. She would catch a fish and toss it up into the air, and the baby would let go of her and swim towards the fish and try to catch it,” Nikki smiles.

“We built this home to share with family and friends, and that’s what we’re doing,” Bob adds. “For Easter we had seven adults and six grandchildren here and it was wonderful. Vero is an amazing place and we’re all so happy my parents discovered it years ago.” `

The infinity pool is Bob’s favorite spot. Out of sight of the pool, a room Nikki calls the “boathouse” stores the family’s much-used kayaks.

VERO BEACH MAGAZINE

ikaela Paige Welton & Garrett Andrew Medlin wed on January 8, 2022 at Emeline, a boutique hotel in Charleston, South Carolina’s historic district.

The bride and groom both grew up in Vero Beach; they met while attending Vero Beach High School, while Mikaela and a friend were babysitting Garrett’s younger sister.

Mikaela, the daughter of Kelly and Jack Welton of Vero Beach, has two bachelor’s degrees: one in health services administration from Auburn University and one in nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

She is employed as a registered nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UAB hospital, simultaneously pursuing a master’s degree at UAB with the intention of becoming a nurse practitioner.

Garrett, son of Tawnya and Andy Medlin of Fort Pierce, is employed as a project manager with Alabama Power.

The speeches given by the father of the bride and the best man were among the favorite moments of the couple’s special day. Another highlight was the rap song that Mikaela’s sisters, Grace Welton and Stephanie Thayer, performed in lieu of traditional speeches.

With their original honeymoon plans derailed by a COVID-related hotel shutdown, the newlyweds took a short trip to New York City and postponed their honeymoon until summer 2022.

They make their home in Birmingham, Alabama. `

STEVE MARTIN MEMORIAL REGATTA YOUTH SAILING FOUNDATION Fifty boats crewed by 65 sailors ranging in age from 8 to 18 came from various parts of Florida in April to participate in the eighth annual Steve Martin Memorial Regatta, which Youth Sailing Foundation of Indian River County hosted in its home waters south of the Alma Lee Loy Bridge. YSF’s director of sailing, Mary Morgan, served as race director and officiated the 35-boat Opti racing fleet, in which youngsters sailed in two classes: gold, composed of more advanced sailors, and silver, made up of newcomers. At the end of the 1-mile triangular course, YSF’s Alex Delamarter and Skyler Dussan took second and third place, respectively, in the gold class. When 15 twoperson boats took to the 2-mile high-schoolers’ course, YSF was again well represented; Skipper Nick Crull and his crew Edee Steinkamp took second place, and skipper Denali Herold with crew Luke Franco came in third. The regatta is named in honor of Steve Martin, an avid sailor and YSF instructor who passed away in 2013.

Summer Sizzles IN VERO BEACH, HOT ART IS ALWAYS IN THE FORECAST

‘THROUGH THE ARTIST’S EYE’ JULY 1–31 This month, J.M. Stringer Gallery presents “Through the Artist’s Eye,” featuring the oil paintings of Joseph Sundwall. An accomplished portrait painter, Sundwall added equestrian scenes and other animal subjects to his repertoire after his interest was piqued by a polo match. He is a traditional realist whose works exhibit a fresh, spontaneous quality born of his “alla prima” (“direct painting”) technique and his desire to convey each image without excessive brushstrokes. Sundwall’s paintings grace private collections in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other parts of Europe.
