Rev. MICHAEL WARD
Is a Positive person!

"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary, use words."

A Vero Beach resident since the age of 5, Michael Ward has a long history of making a positive impact within our community. Many non-profits have benefited from Michael's involvement including the Treasure Coast Kiwanis where he recently received an award for 24 years of perfect attendance! Other charities include: Riverside Theatre (former member of the Board of Directors), The Source, Indian River County Children's Services (former grant review committee member), and the Women's Refuge of Vero Beach (former advisory board member).
.
This level of service is remarkable and yet astounding when you learn that Michael works two separate demanding, full-time (over-time) professions: as a Certified Public Accountant with Curtis, Ward & Associates and as the Rector of St. Mark's Anglican Church! He's been equally active within the Diocese including chairing the diocesan Board of Examining Chaplains. He's a founding member of the Society of St Anthony dedicated to a life of prayer, ongoing conversion, study, and service. He seems to embody the quote attributed to St. Francis of Assisi that he says is his greatest inspiration: "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary, use words."
.
After 26 years as a CPA, Michael is answering the call toward even greater involvement with the church and will be retiring at the end of the year! Michael has been married to his wife Sheila for 21 years and together they have a six year-old daughter, Sarah, pictured above. Team Flash wishes Michael a happy and relaxing so-called 'retirement.' Though we are not sure that 'retirement' is the right word. Why the uncertainty? First, his advice to others is to find what one is passionate about and pursue it with everything one has. Second, in reply to the question asking about his greatest accomplishment, he states: "I suppose that remains to be seen!" Well...chapter two sounds like it is going to be equally as exciting! On behalf of many, Team FLASH would like to thank you for all you have given to our community. We are eternally grateful!

Okay,...in the past few weeks we have given you the website schedules for College football as well as the NFL. Now we have one for you basketball fans! This site gives you the week by week schedule for the televised games and there are a lot! We expect many eyes will be following the so-called "dream team" of the Miami Heat with Dwayne Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Since Cleveland is still angry over Bosh's departure, you might want to mark your TV calendar to watch the first game between the two teams on Dec. 2nd. It promises to be a really 'Heat-ed' match!

TIME TO RENEW YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE?

IF SO CHECK OUT WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE WITH YOU!

We have recently heard grumbles from fellow 'Flashers' who went to renew their driver's license. They were surprised to learn that they had not brought the newly required documents with them. The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles enforced stricter requirements for licenses issued or renewed after Jan, 1, 2010. You can no longer just turn over your old license. Instead you have to submit several documents as proof of citizenship, Social Security number and address. This includes a Certified Birth Certificate or Passport, as well as proof of your S.S. number, and two official proofs of your current address like a Voter's Registration Card or Vehicle Registration form. For complete information on the documents required, click on the website below.

"BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE

An Up-close Look at the First Floridians

presented by Fredric M. Hitt

Thursday, October 21, at 7 p.m.

1590 27th Avenue

Author Fredric Hitt lives on the River of the Sun. In modern times it is called the St. Johns River, and flows northward through Central Florida until it reaches the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville, Florida. He shares his love of the river with earlier inhabitants who disappeared from the face of the earth three hundred years before he was born. Hitt has been published in traditional and internet magazines. His stories have appeared in Going Places, the AAA magazine, Finest Fishing.com and other magazines. His novels, Wekiva Winter, Beyond the River of the Sun and The Last Timucuan have received numerous honors, awards and a Florida Historical Society presidential citation. The Timucuans were probably the Indians who greeted Ponce de Leon on his 1513 arrival in Florida. Come hear and learn more next Thursday!

Exciting Telecast at Saint Edward's School

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

EASY NO CLEAN-UP 'POT- LESS' ROAST

HERE'S ONE YOUR'RE GONNA LOVE - LOVE - LOVE!

3-4 lb. chuck roast

1 envelope dried onion soup

1 can condensed mushroom soup

4 T. A-1 sauce

Assorted Vegetables: Potatoes, Carrots, Onions

Line a roasting pan with enough aluminum foil to fold over meat. Spread A-1 sauce over entire surface of meat. Next, evenly sprinkle contents of onion soup envelope and then spread mushroom soup on top. Place vegetables in foil and draw edges of foil together and seal. Roast at 350 degrees for 2 (for smaller roast) to 3 hours. The ingredients blend together to make a delicious gravy, so you could certainly plan on serving mashed potatoes or rice instead of including potatoes with the veggies. (It's even good as an open face hot sandwich on top of a slice of fresh bread - yum!).....And no pot to wash!

HEALTH TIP

IT'S APPLE SEASON!

Here are some facts you may not know!

You've heard that an apple a day will keep the doctor away and maybe it's true! A report from the University of Illinois on apple nutrition describes the many health benefits of apples and recommends to get the full benefit they should be eaten raw and unpeeled. Along with Vitamins A and C, apples are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber such as pectin actually helps to prevent cholesterol buildup in the lining of blood vessel walls, thus reducing the incident of arterio- sclerosis and heart disease. The insoluble fiber provides bulk in the intestinal tract.

OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE:

A good source of antioxidants, a group of chemicals that scavenge and neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals. Free radicals, which can wreak havoc on cells and tissues and appear to play a role in the onset of heart disease and prostate, colon and other cancers.
Contain chemicals which help protect the brain from dementia and Alzheimer's
Phenolics, found in apples, protect the nerve cells from neurotoxicity.
Acidicy makes an ideal product to help clean and whiten teeth.
The Washington State Apple Commission recommends eating 3 apples a day, preferably before meals, if you are trying to lose weight. Supposedly, you can lose 1/2 pound a week even if you do not change your caloric intake or activity level. If you try this and it works...Let us know!

AUTO INSURANCE RATES VARY BY STATE

A recent survey by Insure.com revealed (surprisingly) that Louisiana has the highest insurance in the country with an average annual cost of $2510. Michigan was second with $2098. Florida came in at number 25 with $1453. Maine was the lowest with $902, slightly lower than Vermont and Ohio which were also under $1,000.

The results came from a study that collected average auto insurance rates for more than 2,400 vehicles, based on ten ZIP codes per state and rates from six large carriers, with averages calculated nationally and for each state. Check out the survey by clicking here.

SAVINGS TIP OF THE WEEK!

'THRIFT SHOPPING' IN VERO BEACH

It's always fun to look around in a Thrift Shop, and we have lots of them in Indian River County as well as nearby in St. Lucie and Brevard. We know several gals who have saved tons of money on children's clothes at these spots. Kids grow so fast that many of the items displayed are as good as new! They can also be good spots to pick up whole sets of china and glassware and even furniture in good condition. (We know one Mom who furnished her daughter's apartment at college almost entirely from thrift stores!) So, if you want to go bargain shopping, click this website for a directory of all the Thrift Shops in the area.
