HAPPY 'ALMOST' SEPTEMBER!
    Yes,  September 1st is next Tuesday, which means the Labor Day holiday is falling a little later this September and won't be here until Monday, September 7th.  Next Wednesday, Sept. 3nd will be the 70th anniversary of  V-J Day...the official date of our victory over Japan in World War II. It is certainly a day that changed the course of history. Another world altering event also took place in the month of September. 
     The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth  England on September 16, 1620. The Pilgrims were headed to Virginia where they had an agreement to settle. The voyage took 66 days. They landed at Plymouth Rock on December 21, 1621 with 102 passengers on board. This included three pregnant women. One of whom gave birth just before landing. Can you imagine the courage it took to take off for a 66 day trip to the unknown under those circumstances? I love a trip...But, I just don't think I would have ventured on that one :)
     And speaking of courageous people, there are non more courageous than our men and women in the military. Please take special notice of the post below to help establish a home in Vero for our disabled veterans. If each of our 7,302 subscribers contribute something, we could have that place furnished in no time at all. This is a fantastic opportunity for each of us to show our appreciation at whatever level we are capable of. Please help! Our veterans deserve at the very least that gesture of gratitude from us. :)

If you like to dance...then The Grille is the spot to be! Niki and other musicians have a knack for keeping the dancers moving at the Grille.

AUDITIONS
This Saturday, August 29 @ Community Church
10:00AM or by an appointment, please call 772-469-2310
.
The Atlantic Children's Chorale and The Atlantic Youth Chorus are seeking talented students between the 2nd grade and 12th grade to join the area's premiere community wide choral ensemble for children and youth.

You may want to consider long term care insurance.  Today a local assisted living facility averages about $70,000 per year. Figures like this can quickly erode your nest egg and any inheritance that you may have hoped to give to your loved ones.  Policies cost less if purchased when you're younger and in good health. If you're older or have a serious health condition, you may not be able to get coverage - and if you do, you may have to spend considerably more.

DID YOU KNOW? 

WHICH MONTH HAS HAD MORE HURRICANES?

We had this feature scheduled before Erika was threatening...Keep a watchful eye, FLASHERS and do some prior proper planning!

Since 1891, Florida has had 22 hurricanes hit in September, (more than any other month) and 8 of those were in Southeast Florida. The peak of the season is August through October, so we aren't 'out of the woods' yet! Now is a good time to stock up on things we consider hurricane  ready items. Click Here for a list. 

FLASH TIP OF THE WEEK
WHAT'S WRONG WITH WIKIPEDIA?
We all need to know this, but especially students who may be writing papers depending on research. Many schools will not allow Wikipedia and Harvard has a website warning about Wikipedia because it can be edited by anyone! Consequently it is not a good source for academic research. The example Harvard gives is pretty funny:  Four years ago, a student who was writing a paper about the limitations of Wikipedia posted a fictional entry for himself, stating that he was the mayor of a small town in China. Today if you do a subject search on Wikipedia for mayors of towns in China, you will still find this fictional entry. To visit the Harvard website, Click here.
 
 
Publisher's note: Remember those heavy bound volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica from your youth? Now Britannica has an easy website you can use that is more reliable than Wiki. To add it to your favorites, Click here.

WIERD (BUT FUN) TIP FOR KNEE PAIN!
According to the REAL AGE website, a study at St. Louis University followed 34 seniors who had pain or stiffness in their knees or hips. Most of the participants were women, and their pain largely stemmed from osteoarthritis. The people were split into two groups: One group went to dance classes for 45 minutes one or two times a week for 12 weeks, while the other group didn't dance. The classes involved a type of slow, rhythmic dance therapy which was designed to help improve strength and flexibility.
  
At the end of the 12-week study, participants in the dancing group not only had less knee and hip pain, but they were able to walk faster as well. The dancers' use of pain medicine dropped by 39%, while people who didn't dance needed 21% more medicine. 

Want to give it a try?  There is a chapter of USA Dance right here in Vero and they would welcome any new interest in their group. Click here to visit their site and to check out their upcoming dances or contact Lorely at 772-770-9684. There is usually an hour lesson at the beginning for those that would like to benefit from a little instruction. :)

  RECIPE OF THE WEEK



PARMESAN CHEESE BASKETS
Impress your friends and family by serving petite salads in these easy to make  edible 'bowls'. Salad idea: Finely chop spinach, strawberries and red onion. Add raspberry vinaigrette and top with candied pecans pieces. 

Ingredient
8 oz. freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions  
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place about 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese onto a silicone sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and gently spread the cheese out into a circle about 2 inches in diameter. Spread more circles of cheese onto the baking sheet, keeping them at least 1 inch apart.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove from the oven, and let cool on the sheets until warm; while still warm, drape the wafers over a small bowl or other container. Let cool. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

NOTE: These can also be served flat as 'crisps' with soups or to garnish salads.

Prosek is known for his unusually vibrant, life size depictions that capture the beauty and vitality of our "finny friends." He prepared to paint Florida favorites such as the Snook, the Cobia and the Pompano, by making trips to the locations where these fish can be directly observed, including the Treasure Coast. "If I see my reflection in the eyeball of the fish or whatever, I'll paint that in," Prosek explains. "It's me and the fish. I've kind of described [the paintings] as self-portraits in a way." The exhibition of Prosek's paintings will on view from June 6 through September 6, 2015, in the Museum's Schumann and Titelman Galleries. For more information call: phone (772) 231-0707
