more she learned about the School District’s
flawed operations and secretive ways – the
more she wanted to know.

And it was on.
Wahl spent countless hours attending
meetings, submitting public-records re-
quests and emailing schools officials, as well
as doing online searches to compare our dis-
trict to others around the state.
In November, Wahl identified 17 “crucial
issues,” as she described them, and sent
emails pertaining to all 17 of them to each
of the newly elected School Board members.
Attached to the emails were Excel spread-
sheets, quotes from the superintendent and
other relevant information.
She no longer bothers emailing Rendell,
she said, because it never results in anything
productive.
“Sometimes, I feel so alone in this,” she
said. “It’s exhausting, and there are times
when I think about giving up and moving
on to something else I’d like to accomplish.
I’ll finish working on some issue and think,
‘This is it.’ Then something happens, and I
get pulled back in.”
No one expects anyone else, particularly
other parents, to devote the same time and
energy Wahl puts in. But it would be nice if,
say, another dozen or two dozen parents and
grandparents cared enough to regularly at-
tend the School Board meetings, publicly ask
questions and demand answers on issues
that affect their kids’ education – especial-
ly in cases where a school or school district
leader’s actions seem questionable or wrong.
Another 50 would be better.
“I really don’t know why more parents ar-
en’t showing up in a public way,” Wahl said.
“Maybe once people realize we have major
problems with academic performance, peo-
ple will be open to changing the status quo
and we can build momentum.”
Let’s hope so.
A big part of what makes Vero Beach such
a special place is the pride we take in living
here, and the quality of our schools should
reflect our commitment to our community.
Wahl has made a commitment, so much
so that she is seriously considering a run for
the School Board in four years.
“I was hopeful I could make a difference as
a concerned citizen and a parent,” she said,
“but it’s extremely difficult to do it that way.”
Especially doing it alone. 

That’s where occupational therapists
like Debbie Matthews at Sebastian River
Medical Center can step in to help.

Matthews is a certified hand therapist,
or CHT – a designation that does not come
easily.

The Hand Therapy Certification Com-
mission says a CHT is “an occupational
therapist or physical therapist who has a
minimum of three years of clinical expe-
rience, including 4,000 hours or more in
direct practice in hand therapy.”

Additionally, the commission states,
CHTs must successfully pass a compre-
hensive test of advanced clinical skills and
theory in upper quarter rehabilitation, and
they are “required to demonstrate contin-
ued professional development and compe-
tency by re-certifying every five years.”

That “upper quarter” line is significant.
It means certified hand therapists must
also be trained to treat arms, wrists, shoul-
ders and elbows.

Riverside Theatre is on top of it.
Opening this Tuesday, Feb. 5, is Joe
DiPietro’s romantic comedy “The
Last Romance,” dedicated to the
proposition that “love can make
you feel young again.” According
to samuelfrench.com, “The Last
Romance” tells the story of what
happens when elderly widower
Ralph, on an ordinary day in his or-
dinary life, tries a different path on
his daily walk. He meets “elegant
but distant” Carol and is instant-
ly head-over-heels. Calling upon
his still boyish charm, he gives it a
shot, despite Carol’s cool respons-
es and his sister’s jealousy. Ralph’s
heretofore ordinary life, says the
show promo, quickly turns into
“the trip of a lifetime, as Ralph re-
gains a happiness that seemed all
but lost.” “The Last Romance” runs

As intriguing art, Kerwick’s prints are picture perfect

By Ellen Fischer | Columnist Jill Kerwick.
[email protected]
PHOTOS: DENISE RITCHIE
Since we last saw her in Vero, winter res-
ident Jill Kerwick has been busy exhibiting
her photography-based art in her home state
of New Jersey. She had three solo shows there
since last spring: April saw the opening of “Jill
Kerwick: Almost Definitely” at the Center for
Contemporary Art in Bedminster; in June her
“Art is Serious Play” opened at Gallery 491 in
Montclair; and in October “Jill Kerwick: A Ret-
rospective” was installed at Beauregard Fine
Art Gallery in Rumson. The latter featured se-
lected works from the past 18 years of the art-
ist’s career.

Now Vero Beach art lovers can see what all
the fuss is about at Kerwick’s first solo show in
our city.

A selection of paintings and digital photo
prints, “Leaving Home and Other Stories” will
be presented through February at Vero’s Cen-
ter for Spiritual Care. Kerwick will meet her
public at a reception for the exhibition from 5
p.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 1.

A fine line differentiates Kerwick’s paintings
from her prints, and that line – deftly drawn by
the artist herself – is what makes her work in
both mediums so intriguing.

The title of one of the photo prints, “Active
Listening” of 2015, relates to a skill the Center

culture relevant into the foreseeable future.

Kerwick also confutes painting and digital
photo-making by actually putting brush to
paper, as two 2018 works in the current show
attest. Both were created by hand-applying oil
and acrylic paint atop photographic pigment
prints on paper.

The 16-inch square composition titled “The
Hogan Tapestry” shows a brown bunny (an-
other Kerwick pet) painted amidst the photo-
graphically reproduced foliage of a French tap-
estry in such a way that part of the photograph
(the tapestry’s flowers and leaves) overlaps the
painting of the bunny, and the painted bunny
overlaps the tapestry’s background.

To create her artwork, Kerwick explains that
she first makes a photo print of her “base” (in
this case, a tapestry). She then makes a pencil
drawing of the subject of the painting (here,
Hogan the rabbit). After photo-mechanically
enlarging her drawing, she cuts and uses it as
a stencil to outline the subject directly onto
the base. Kerwick used a rapid, brushy-style to
paint Hogan; combining seemingly incompat-
ible art forms – painting and photography – in
one work. 

Crab Stop: Worth a go for ‘Maryland-style’ blue crabs

By TIna Rondeau | Columnist Snow Special.

Many years ago when I lived in Wash-
ington, D.C., on summer weekends we
would visit the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

July and August are the peak of blue
crab season on the Chesapeake Bay, and
these outings would frequently take us
to a waterfront crab shack for a Mary-
land-style crab feast.

Those were the days. I sure do miss sit-
ting down at a newspaper-covered table,
and pounding away at those Old Bay-en-
crusted steamed crabs.

But while the Chesapeake blue
crabs that I dream about are
regarded as the most
delicious of the
species, blue crabs
can be found up

IT HELPS TO PICTURE THE PICTURE CARDS A 10 9 6 5 2

South have visualized the play proceeding?
Q J 10
North’s four-heart response was a Texas transfer, which showed at least a six-card spade
suit and said North was planning either to stop in game or to drive on to a slam. If he had Q 10 2
transferred at the two-level, then jumped to four spades, that would have been a slam-
invitation. SOUTH

South had nine winners: five spades, two hearts and two clubs. If East held the diamond K874
ace, there would be no problems. But if West had that key card, declarer could lose one
spade and three diamonds. Was there a chance even when West had the diamond ace? AQ

Declarer took his second top spade trick, cashed the club king, played a club to his ace, K52
ruffed a club on the board and returned to his hand with a heart. Then, when South led his
last club and West followed suit, declarer discarded a diamond from the dummy. West was A963

would not have helped East to ruff the fourth club, because South would have lost only one Dealer: South; Vulnerable: North-South
