Brevard Live April 2017- 21 The Column By Chuck Van Riper

American Pi arch 14th (as I write this) is a special day. It is Al- Mbert Einstein’s birthday. It is also “Pi Day” (3/14). As many of you know, pi describes the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The value of pi has been pondered for the past 4000 years. Around 2000 B.C., the Babylonians computed pi to be 3.125 and it was the Egyptians who came up with the current standard value of 3.143. The numbers after the decimal go on forever without repeating. It is considered to be the most important number in mathematics. The first 144 digits of pi add up to 666. Hmmmm…what a totally useless factoid that is! In 2002, a Japanese scientist used a powerful computer to compute pi to over a trillion digits! How did they know that? Did they count all the digits? That might take a while. There are no instances of the sequence 123456 in the first million digits of pi. If the circumference of the Earth were calculated using pi rounded to the ninth decimal, an error of less than a quarter of an inch would occur. If you take the circumference of a pumpkin and divide it by its diameter, what do you get? Pumpkin pi! Yea, I know it’s an old one. Albert Einstein was born on pi day. He would be 135 this year. Although he was mostly known for his E=MC2 equation, which describes mass and energy, that is not what he won the Nobel Prize for. His Nobel Prize was actually given to him for his work in light and electricity. His paper on “the photoelectric effect” described how light could be used to create electricity if treated as a particle rather than a wave as it was commonly thought. Both theories were presented in 1905. His work with the photoelectric effect is the technology behind solar panels. It wasn’t until almost 50 years later, in 1954, that a photocell was created with enough energy to create electricity. Amazing! Einstein was such a visionary. As a child, Einstein was considered “slow” because he didn’t start really speaking until late in his childhood (some say he was 7 before he put sentences together). He didn’t like school. He loved music. He was an accom- plished violinist. He loved Mozart. He is often quoted as saying that had he not gone into science, he would be a musician. In 1902, he had a daughter. No one knows what happened to her. He was passionate about social issues. He supported the civil rights movement. He considered racism to be the worst disease in the country.

22 - Brevard Live April 2017 Through the years, Einstein’s theories have been used as a basis throughout scientific research. Recently, one in particular became very relevant. His theories on gravitational waves eluded scientists for decades, that is, up until last year. The National Science Foundation, using Einstein’s theories, detected gravitational waves resulting from two merging black holes 1.3 billion lightyears away. Einstein had also theorized about black holes and their ex- istence. Amazing! Einstein was such a visionary. Maybe we should officially combine Pi day and Ein- stein’s birthday as a national holiday. After all, pi is the most important number in history and Einstein is certainly one of the most important physicists of all time. We could call it Pieinstein day! See what I did there? So from now on, March 14th will be Pienstein day! We can eat pumpkin pie while contemplating the wonders of the nature of black holes. Sounds like a perfect day! I leave you with some of my favorite Einstein quotes. “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” (I had this one hanging in my studio for many years!) “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” (He was such a visionary!) “An empty stomach is not a good political advisor.” “When you sit with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But sit on a hot stove for a minute, it’s longer than an hour.” (There’s some relativity for you.) “Never memorize something you can look up.” “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expect- ing different results.” “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” And finally one of my favorites: “If the facts don’t fit, change the facts.” - Was this the first recorded reference to “alternative facts”? He was such a visionary!

CUT IT OUT ALREADY!

By Matthew Bretz

he other day I was sitting with a group of people out- Tside of a little restaurant having drinks. The conversation was here, there, and everywhere as group convos will be, but eventually it came around to the topic of favorite foods. Pasta was big on the list, as were cheese burgers, steak and so on…until bacon was mentioned. It’s funny the effect even the word bacon can have on people. Fun fact— there are 7 accepted flavors in the world, and bacon contains 6 of them. So anyway…a hush comes over the group at the mention of the B word and the game changes. Now everyone is spontaneously sharing their favorite bacon audio-porn. I remain quiet during all of this until it noticed that I am doing so and pointed out. “Matt you haven’t told us your favorite way to eat bacon,” I was reminded as if I had forgotten. “Yeah…I don’t actually eat bacon…or pig of any kind really.” As the words struggled to be free of my mouth I knew what was coming…or at least I thought I did. “Why not? You aren’t Muslim, are you?” These questions/accusations came from a complete stranger…friend of a friend kinda thing…across the table. Two things immediately occurred to me: 1. This is going to be a good story for my column, and 2. It’s amazing how the connotation of the question changes so dras- tically just by rearranging the words. Our enlightened friend could’ve just as easily said “Are you Muslim?”, but instead chose the tactful approach of “You aren’t… are you?” not at all subtly hinting at the negative conse- quences waiting for me if I answer incorrectly in his mind. I explained to him that I’m not a Muslim, or religious at all for that matter, or that it was even his business to concern himself with my, or anyone else’s, philosophy on life and death. I explained that I don’t eat pigs because they are intelligent, social animals that don’t want to live a short inhumane life before being killed and hacked up for the glory of being a couple of strips of bacon on his hangover burger some morning after a night of drinking with the boys and watching NASCAR.

The climate in America is so thick with fear and racism right now, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight… at least not for four years or so. People are having a very hard time understanding the difference between religions and countries. Don’t believe everything you read in the

30 - Brevard Live April 2017

papers…or see on FOX News. Indonesia has the highest Muslim population of any country on the planet. They also have more women serving in upper political posi- tions than we do here in the USA. India which also has female politicians, and Bangladesh fall into ranks as having some of the largest concentrations of Muslims. I could go on naming countries, but it would take too long because there are 1.7 billion followers of Islam and only a very small percentage are extremists. If the women in Iran or Iraq are being oppressed it isn’t a Muslim issue…it’s an Iran or Iraq issue. If women in Saudi Arabia aren’t allowed to drive it isn’t a Mus- lim issue…it’s a Saudi Arabia issue. There is a Christian church in the Midwest that holds rituals where members of the congregation are bitten by snakes. It isn’t a Chris- tian issue is it? No…it’s a misguided desert dweller issue. You cannot take something a country does, even one with a dominant religion, and apply it to the rest of the world…it’s just dumb.

I want to cap off this month with another story about mis- interpreting people, and assuming incorrectly. This isn’t my story but it happened to a friend, who happens to be Indian, a few days before I wrote this. It popped up on my Facebook feed and goes something like this: “I almost just died! I was walking across the parking lot to my car, eating a sandwich, when someone in a passing pick-up truck screamed out racial slurs intended to mark me as the Muslim terrorist they thought I was. I am brown it’s true, but I am an Indian atheist who was born in America. Anyway…I was so startled that I almost choked on my sandwich…and that’s how I almost just died. By the way the sandwich was a BLT.”

CD Reviews/News Continued: Greg Vadimsky Releases Single Series ongtime local music luminary Greg Vadimsky is re- Lleasing a series of singles from his upcoming album Summer Of Storms. Currently available on CD Baby, his first single, “The Night Has Come”, bodes well for the future full length release. The lush and instrumentally varied sound reflects Vadimsky’s love of English dra- matic progressive rock. The atmospheres of Peter Ga- briel and Kate Bush mix with the song craft of Wings and even the future/past vocoder effects of Electric Light Orchestra. This very personal song deals with love and loss, and reminiscence of times more innocent. Vadim- sky covers a lot of ground in four minutes and eighteen seconds. Samples at cdbaby.com.

SPOTLIGHT ON Miranda Realino By Matthew Bretz

rom time to time I love to check out local open mic nights and see who’s coming up, what the new soundsF are gonna be…things like that. And every now and again I may even come across a gem that just needs a push. That’s what this month’s Spotlight is about. Af- ter seeing this woman perform at three different events I knew she wasn’t a fluke and deserved a little push into the Spotlight.

Miranda Realino is a strong up and comer in Central Florida open mic sensation - she works at a nursery taking care of… with designs on following the hard, bumpy road that is the baby plants?

Brevard Live April 2017- 35 Flori-Duh

It was March, 20th, 1971 and I had a ticket to Bloodrock and Grand Funk Railroad at Pirate’s World in Dania. There were no metal detectors nor the threat of violence as the kids were pretty much still into the free love and peace mindset. I remember it like it was last week. After passing through the doors into the massive steel building that masqueraded as a concert venue, I was immediately hit with the smell of weed. It was everywhere, and it didn’t matter whether or not you had any because someone was going to pass you a joint. That was just the order of the day. There was no seating on the main floor and getting ripped and wander- ing around while making new friends took precedence over the actual performance. Admittedly, I was new to this but hooked nonetheless.That was my first real concert experience. It was just a couple of weeks later that I attended a Steppenwolf concert at the Miami Marine Stadium. The stadium featured a rather large barge that doubled as a floating stage. The bands gear had to be carried over a makeshift bridge from the actual auditorium to the stage. I took my girlfriend to this show (we were kids and my mother drove us). After the show the band asked for volunteers to help carry gear back to dry land and we did. It got to be pretty late and I didn’t want to call mom so we hitched back to our neighborhood. It was a much more innocent day and age. We had to travel through Overtown on foot well after mid- night. Overtown would later become ground zero for some of the worst race riots in Florida history, we were scared shitless, but we made it home safe despite the hour and a The Concert Experience complete lack of common sense.

TOP 20 REASONS TO HIRE A REALTOR

elling your home is a BIG DEAL! It can be very emotional, time consuming, unfamiliar, frighten- Sing, and often stressful to try it yourself. The following are reasons to hire a professional to do it for you.

• A Realtor is a professional in the real estate field. Only a person who has taken and passed a real estate education course, passed a state test and obtained a license and who has joined the National Association of Realtors can call himself a Realtor. They must take continuing education courses, pay dues to the professional association, and maintain some knowledge of the current laws regarding real estate practices, and must abide by a Code of Ethics. • A Realtor has an opportunity to join a local Multiple List- ing System, where many realtors share information and offer compensation to each other in order to sell properties. The MLS is a marketing and informational vehicle to help sell properties quickly and ethically. It provides a place where each realtor can give info, provide pictures, schedule appointments with other agents to show properties, and offer compensation to other realtors to sell the properties. BrevardMLS.com is the MOST ACCURATE AND UP TO DATE SITE ON THE PLANET for residential listings in Brevard County. If it says Active, then it is actively for sale. When properties go under contract, they are market as Contingent immediately. Our MLS also polices its members, who are subject to reprimands, fines, and banishment for violating the Realtor Code of Ethics. • A Realtor pledges honesty and fair dealings with all during a sales transaction. • Realtors often hire a professional photographer to pro- duce the most attractive images of your property. Realtors utilize the latest technology to market and sell properties. And a realtor will suggest a realistic asking price to suc- ceed in selling your home, by comparing it with other recently sold similar properties. • Cooperation amongst Realtors through the MLS gives the greatest possibility of selling your house. Brevard County has more than 3700 agents share information and have the opportunity to show and sell your house. Look at it as 3700

38 - Brevard Live April 2017 salesmen working for you! • Realtors also utilize other marketing vehicles to give your house the greatest exposure. Realtor.com, Zillow, homes.com, yahoo, and many other sites are used to ad- vertise and attract buyers. Sites like facebook, Instagram, and twitter are currently the most popular social media sites to find out about properties. • Realtors often specialize in certain locations, subdivi- sions, condominiums, or areas such as Beachside, Palm Bay, Titusville, Viera, Merritt Island, etc. or specialize in homes with acreage, waterfront properties, or new con- struction. Often a little investigation and interrogation on the homeowner’s part results in finding a Realtor who has sold several homes in your area and possesses local knowledge that can be very helpful in selling your home. • SAFETY is a big concern these days. Realtors QUALI- FY BUYERS! People who can’t afford to purchase your home won’t be looking at it. Buyers must be prequalified with a lender or provide PROOF OF FUNDS for a Real- tor to take time to show them properties. Homeowners who try to sell their own properties often are subject to scammers who may want to rob you, and “buyers” who are not qualified. continued on page 40

FLORI-DUH continued from page 36 An odd looking fellow that seemed to be dressed as a Lep- rechaun approached our group and in an English accent asked if someone could spare a fag. I told him to get lost and an hour later he was on stage playing the saxaphone. I was dumbfounded in addition to being just dumb! The show was freaking amazing and remains my number one concert experience to date. I would see The Floyd many times after and the shows got bigger and more technically advanced but that first one...Wow. Coming in at a close second would be Queen on the Sheer Heart Attack tour with Mahogany Rush and Kansas. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest front men in rock history and that show was epic in every way. I never did get to see Zeppelin but partied like a son of a bitch outside while listening to them play live.

‘Sold out’ are dirty words! As I read almost daily about the passing of my rock and roll heroes I look back on those days when the world seemed like a young and shiny place, and the future held endless promise along with tons of new black vinyl albums to buy at the local record store. What was cooler than removing the celophane off a new album and discovering some stickers or a poster in addition to some great music? When I remember that I am reminded... That was my Flori-Duh.

Most buyers are looking at homes during the day when you are working. REALTORS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, while you are working, to show your home to potential buyers. All appointments are logged into each company’s office and realtors schedule their day around showing homes to qualified buyers. Buyers never come alone to a house, but are accompanied by a licensed Realtor. • A realtor will observe your property, making suggestions to improve the curb appeal, declutter the inside, maintain a clean and fresh looking house, and just generally offer tips to help sell your home for the highest price. Realtors will follow up to obtain feedback from other agents and buyers who have viewed your home in order to determine any interest expressed by buyers, and to address anything that may need improvement at the property. • Open Houses are scheduled by agents to provide ez ac- cess to potential buyers, or possibly for neighbors who have relatives and friends who are contemplating a move here. By opening up a house on a weekend for public viewing, it makes it easy for someone who works all week to come and view your home. A registration log with viewer’s phone and contact info is kept for safety and follow up purposes. • Realtors sometimes send mass mailings, or localized mailings such as to others in the subdivision, or perhaps to apartment complexes in search of potential buyers for your house. • Realtors notify other Realtors very soon of any new listings they have. This gets the price and positive features of your home to active and top selling realtors right away so that they can contact any potential buyers they may have in their “pipeline”. • Realtors become experts at handling objections. We hear them every day. By being knowledgeable about your home and its location, and by being professional and cour- teous, a Realtor can often overcome objections and often pave the way to a purchase offer! • A good Realtor has a network of professionals to work with, including lenders, inspectors, surveyors, closing agents, and attorneys. And a great team of skilled crafts- men such as roofers, plumbers, electricians, flooring pros, air conditioning contractors, lawn professionals, and handymen to address and correct any problems or defi- ciencies that might arise during the sales period. • A realtor often works 6-7 days a week, evenings and weekends to effect a sale. He often misses family time and recreational time to show property or to complete a sale. Dedication, commitment, and sacrifice are necessi- ties to being a successful Realtor. Just as in many other

40 - Brevard Live April 2017 professions, the standouts are those that go above and beyond. • Realtors are active in their communities, constantly building their base of possible customers and clients. The more contacts a Realtor has, the more local exposure he can give his listings. • Realtors provide a very important service to a sales transaction. That of a third party consultation and/or evalua- tion. Often times, it is necessary to take emotion out of the sale of your home. It is natural for the homeowner to be emotionally attached to his property. A realtor can provide professional and valuable advice, strictly on the business side of reviewing a purchase offer. By utilizing his knowledge and notes on the history of the marketing of your home, and comparing recent sales of similar homes, a Realtor can negotiate on your behalf in order to effect a sale. • Realtors use prescribed sales contracts approved by the Florida Bar Association and the Florida Association of Realtors, thereby conducting legal and enforceable sales contracts for all parties involved. • A realtor will keep you apprised of time deadlines, loan processing and obligations on your part in the transaction. And will also coordinate anything that needs to be completed such as inspections, repairs, and additional paper- work if necessary. A realtor will follow up and follow through from beginning all the way to closing. And beyond. Its about building relationships so that the selling process goes as smoothly as possible.

A Realtor can be invaluable to you in selling your home. For these and many other reasons, a realtor can obtain the highest dollar value for your home in the shortest amount of time, so that you can happily move on in your new ad- ventures in life. So when you are contemplating selling your property, call a pro, a REALTOR.

fter about a year, word got around the golf park that Asome guy calling himself The Tiki Dude was claiming responsibility for making and donating The Mysterious Ti- kis of Malabar. Then, out of nowhere, these carved wooden pelicans started turning up… Chuck Masek, The Tiki Dude (and disc golfer) explains: “Oh yeah” he laughs, “I just brought out all these tikis and didn’t tell anybody. I took ‘em down to the course to help decorate, help give it a bit of its individuality. I travel the country and see lots of disc golf courses but that one is more unique than most. People started painting them, tying them in trees… I took some out to Palm Bay Regional Disc Golf Park but they didn’t tie ‘em down and they all got stolen.” He laughs some more… If you were to judge Masek strictly by his conversation and phone manner, you’d quickly decide he’s a very happy guy. His enthusiasm is infectious and he’s got a trunk-load of colorful stories to tell. Masek used to be the manager at Gizmo’s Reef Restau- rant (now Captain Katanna’s) on the river in Melbourne, and made tikis as a hobby. He didn’t even try to sell them. “It’s funny because I had a garage sale one day and had some ‘defect’ tikis laying in the woods beside my house. Some CHUCK MASEK guy offered me $100 and I said sure, take ‘em all! Turns out, that’s the only thing I sold all day!” He started making tikis on a whim and after about six THE TIKI DUDE months things just clicked and his carving skills came together. Shortly thereafter Gizmo’s lost its roof in a hurricane and Masek decided to try and make some money with his tikis. He’s never looked back. His work has evolved over By John Leach the years and as a self employed wood carver he couldn’t be happier. One morning in 2006, tikis of un- “I can do anything I want now. I carve what I want.

for the Wannee Festival and they all sold out in the first few hours so I didn’t have any for the rest of the week! Who knows how many mushrooms I could have sold!!??” “I mostly sell on weekends 8am to 8pm but I don’t think about it when I’m there. I spend a lot more time carving than selling! There’s no break when I’m carving at home. I don’t even know how many hours I work! I work when I want - I can stockpile, save money and take a real vacation when I want to. It’s too hot to work in the summer so I just take it off! It’s nice to be your own boss. I don’t think I could work for somebody now. I couldn’t live with somebody telling me what to do! I have a lot of repeat customers and that makes the job good. They’ll even put me up when I’m in town. Last year was my best sales ever. Even though I went to college I don’t use my degree. The only thing my degree is good for is literature trivia questions!” Music, art, festivals, friends around the country - sounds like an idyllic life for anyone really - and Masek has never looked back to the boring J-O-B world. He talks like he’s having the time of his life - all the time! “I keep the money and bill paying side separated from the creative side. I don’t think about what kind of money a piece will bring. I do what I want and hope other people will like it too. I‘m like a kid at a candy store! I can see what the wood is going to be and then carve out what’s in my imagi- nation. Sometimes I even have dreams about it! The staple is the tiki stuff, people always want those, but I push myself. Every cool idea I have is something else to do. Sometimes I make animated characters, cartoons, Scooby Doo, I really enjoy it!” It’s no mystery that The Tiki Dude is a very gregarious and generous guy that loves the life he’s carved out for himself. You can see his work in the trees at Malabar Disc Golf Park (see below) or at the Earth Day event in Sebastian on April 22nd. www.tikidude.com
