The Kiwi Tennis Club in Indian Harbour Beach last week hosted a
festive three-day Women’s Wildcard tennis tournament, in which lady
players vied to earn a spot in Kiwi’s upcoming 13th Annual Space Coast
Pro Tennis Classic April 8-15. The wild card started on Wednesday with
eight women competing, including several local rising stars. Then on
Thursday the competition narrowed to four, with Garreth Leslie and
Salome Devidze in the finals in a special session of Kiwi’s popular Friday
Night Lights on Friday evening. Dozens of beachside youth players and
adult volunteers worked the tournament, serving as ball girls/boys or
helping with logistics. Volunteers are needed to fill many slots during the
week-long pro event in April. Amateur doubles teams can also get in on
the action during the fun Pro Am event on April 9, and kids age 6-12 can
enjoy a free day of hands-on tennis fun on April 14, (rackets supplied). Visit

“The audience is asked to imagine al-

Throughout the play, however, there
are ‘Narrators’ that guide the arc of the

Written by Rick Elice with music
by Wayne Barker, “Starcatcher,” as it’s
called among theater folk, is based
on the novel by Dave Barry and Rid-
ley Pearson. Not to forget J.M. Barrie’s
“Peter Pan,” of course. It won five 2012
Tony Awards and has been produced by
regional and has become a favorite of
community theaters nationwide.

The story revolves around a girl (the
only one in the cast) named Molly who
finds herself aboard a pirate ship cap-
tained by narcissistic arch villain Black
Stache. She helps a group of orphan
boys escape certain death. They even-
tually find themselves in a magical

Shingles occurs in people of all ages, but near the spine. When it reactivates, it fol- cations work faster if they are started
early -- within 72 hours from the ap-
pearance of the rash.

The disease’s name comes from the
Latin word cingulum, which means belt.
The virus that causes shingles is vari-
cella-zoster, which combines the Latin
word for little pox with the Greek word
for girdle. In Italy, shingles is often called
St. Anthony’s Fire.

If you have had chickenpox, shingles
is not contagious. If you have never had
chickenpox, you can catch the virus
from contacting the fluid in shingles
blisters. However, you will not get shin-
gles, but you could get chickenpox.

The pain of shingles can be severe. If
it is strong and lasts for months or years,
it is called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
Persistent pain is a common symptom in
people over 60. However, most victims of
shingles overcome their symptoms in
about a month. And the odds are against
them getting shingles again.

Outbreaks that start on the face or
eyes can cause vision or hearing prob-
lems. Even permanent blindness can
result if the cornea of the eye is affect-
ed. In patients with immune deficien-
cy, the rash can be much more exten-
sive than usual and the illness can be
complicated by pneumonia. These cas-
es, while more serious, are rarely fatal.

The Food and Drug Administration
last year approved the Shingrix vaccine
to prevent painful shingles in people 50
and older. Large international trials have
shown that the vaccine prevents more
than 90 percent of shingles cases, even
at older ages.

Zostavax, an earlier shingles vaccine
that remains on the market, prevents
about half of shingles cases in those over
age 60 and has demonstrated far less ef-
fectiveness among elderly patients.

A committee of The Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention (CDC) vot-
ed to make Shingrix the preferred vac-
cine and recommended it for all adults
over age 50. The committee also recom-
mended Shingrix for adults who’ve re-
ceived Zostavax.

Check your health insurance provider
to determine the coverage it offers for the
new vaccine. 

When Doris found out we were first-

is “a hidden gem” and how it’s a family-

Chef Zoran Stanojkovski commanding
the kitchen, and brother Marjan run-
ning the front of the house. He gracious-
ly greets everyone who comes through
the door like he’s welcoming them into

just as warmly.

You can tell the staff is impeccably

For the couple of hours you’re there, you
might forget you’re in Florida until you
walk outside and there’s no snow.

The interior is very classy and relax-

and the dining room is designed and
arranged in a way that creates some pri-
vacy for a more intimate dining experi-
ence. The live music out in the lounge
area is just loud enough to provide a me-

takes away from enjoying your meal.

About our meal, everything was fan-
tastic.

Doris started us out with some cu-

For the actual physical staging,
Baum hired a moving crew and set
up high-end furniture in three bed-
rooms, including three king-sized
bed suites, leaving the master bed-

sized bedroom suites but I think say-

Baum said.

Virtual staging costs about $100 per
photo, which is less than the cost of
moving furniture in and out, and al-
