VICTORIA COOLEY Call Me The Breeze Victoria Cooley was born in Nantucket, Mass. but has lived in Sarasota for most of her life. After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from Ringling School of Art and Design in 1986, she started exhibiting regularly throughout the Northeast. Victoria is intrigued by simple life pleasures and fleeting moments. She finds inspiration when listening to waves, collecting seashells, noticing striking shadows, and capturing flowers in bloom. She seeks peace and happiness through her paintings and her goal is to translate this to the canvas. As she raised her 3 children, she remained active in the arts with mural painting, greeting card design, annual one-person exhibits in her native Nantucket, and operating her own gallery in Towles Court, Sarasota. Victoria now participates in local outdoor art festivals as well as maintaining her online presence. Visit www.baileycooley. com to see upcoming shows.

Did you pick the perfect name for your child?

Mike Readling

Sure, you did! I’d like to think that every parent tries their best to start their children off right when deciding on a name.

Maybe it’s a name chosen in honor of a family member. Maybe it has a historical meaning. Or maybe the name just feels right. But any parent knows that choosing the perfect name is a tricky business — and a big deal! Names can carry deep personal connections. You could even say that a name is the foundation of a person’s personality. After all, there’s a big difference between “Elvis” and “Bob.” Would you change your name? We asked our neighbors this question. Check out their answers on page 8.

I’d like to think, like all parents, my wife and I did a pretty good job with naming our daughters. However, the process was very different for both. For our oldest, we had some names in mind but didn’t decide until her birth. I remember my wife, amazing during delivery, looking up at me afterward and asking if I liked the name she chose. By then I was feeling dizzy and nauseous from the whole thing and I was focused on staying conscious. I would have given a weak smile and a thumbs up to anything. For our second daughter, we were both a little more prepared. My wife and I agreed on a name going into the delivery room. My wife was incredible — and I was, yet again trying my best to fight off fainting. Now that my daughters have grown up and into their names, I can’t help but wonder about my own name. I don’t know what system my parents used to name my four older brothers and me. But my mom did tell me that she didn’t intend to name me Stephen, which of course was soon shortened to Steve. She told me they planned to name me Stephan, which sounds so European. I would have been nicknamed “Steph” … or maybe “Stephano.” The thing that stopped me from a life of exotic adventure fit only for a Stephan, it turned out, was a typo on my birth certificate. I asked my mom why they didn’t have it fixed, and she taught me that sometimes, we don’t need to put in so much thought about what seems to be such a big decision. “Stephen sounded nice, too,” she told me. At the time, I acted like I understood. But if you wanted to call me Stephano, well, I would tip my beret to you.

What is in a name? We asked our neighbors if they could rename themselves, what name they would choose.

8 | Jupiter Inlet Magazine

Dana Cooke If I could change my name I would go with Carmella because it is my middle name. It is also a family name from my great grandmother. My daughter also has Carmella as her middle name.

Carol Frezza, Village Art Studio I would not change my name. I have never come across a name that struck me as one that I would want to keep. So I think I will stick with my name. I have gotten used to it after all these years.

Ishbel Albury Well I love the ocean and I used to have my own boat. The name I would have loved to have is Marina. I have been living on Clemons St. for the past 37 years and I wish they would take the fence down that is blocking my view of the Jupiter Inlet.

Angela Grant, Village Bootery If I could I would change my name to Stella. I have always thought it was a pretty name. It is on my list to name my daughter one day.

Ana Nichole Valdes I would change my name to Coco. That is my childhood nickname. Only people in Jupiter call me by Ana, otherwise I am known as Coco.

Kassidy Shonkwiler I am happy with my name Kassidy. But, if I could, I would change my last name to Smith, Brown, Jones or something easier for people to spell.

Dylan Henderson If I was to change my name I would go by John Lee. It is my father’s name. He is the most bad-ass guy around. He was in the Marines and owned a few trucking companies.

Kyle Villesvich I would change my name to my middle name which is Alexander. My middle name was given to me after Alexander the Great.

ou may hear the springtime calls of frogs at night just in time for Amphibian Week, May 7-13. Amphibians are a diverse and exciting class of vertebrates which include frogs, toads, salamanders, newts and caecilians. Amphibian comes from the Greek word amphibious; amphi means “both” and bios means “life” and that is how most amphibians live – one life in water during their larval stage and the other on land during their adult stage. Amphibians lay their eggs in the water and require a steady supply of moisture in order to survive. There are over 150 different species in Florida and they can be found in a variety of habitats. Why do they get their own special week? Well for 10 | Jupiter Inlet Magazine

one thing, these unique animals play a crucial role in the balance of our ecosystem. They are predators and prey. Many native Florida species, such as birds, snakes, lizards and skunks rely

on frogs and other amphibians as a major food source, making them critical in the food web. Amphibians also keep pesky insect populations down, including mosquitoes. Ecosystems can become off-balance when there are not enough amphibian communities. Salamander’s get their own day, May 6. “Salamander Saturday” is an effort to create awareness of deforestation leading to critical habitat loss of many salamander species. Millions of trees are used each year to make disposable chopsticks, an unnecessary commodity, much like plastic bags, endangering critical animal habitat. Do the Earth a favor and invest in reusable chopsticks. An amphibian’s permeable skin makes them sensitive to changes and problems in the

All Girls Day Camp! STEM-tastic Science Camp environment. Amphibians are an indicator species: Their health, presence, or absence reflects the environment around them and can be used by scientists to diagnose the health of an ecosystem. Frogs and salamanders help humans. Compounds from frog skin can be used to treat humans for pain and infections and scientists are studying how some species of salamanders can regenerate lost limbs, offering insights into human medicine. With their small size, permeable skins and their need to be near fresh, clean bodies of water, amphibians are more vulnerable than most other animals to endangerment and extinction. It’s believed that half of all the world’s amphibian species are directly threatened by pollution, habitat destruction, invasive species and, perhaps the greatest threat, the chytrid fungus, which may be linked to global warming and has been decimating amphibian species worldwide. What can we do to protect these special slimy species? Come see our teaching amphibians up close at the Hobe Sound Nature Center. Meet a Greater Siren, Green Tree Frogs, native Southern toads and “Dwight Shrute” our office newt. Learn the difference between our Florida native vs invasive species and what to do to eliminate them.

Get Natural at the Brevard Zoo By Mike Readling

E

verything about the Brevard Zoo is designed to feel natural, whether it’s the Florida Black bear denning, the otters sunning themselves on a platform or the monkeys being able to choose who they hang out with each day. Want to feed a giraffe? You can do so from high up on a platform so the animal can eat in its natural state of reaching up for food, rather than bending down to your level. “We want people to come enjoy themselves and see the animals use all their natural instincts,” said Lauren Delgado, Communications Manager

“We want people to come enjoy themselves and see the animals use all their natural instincts.” for the Brevard Zoo. “In the Florida Black bear habitat, we saw that one of the bears was wanting to den, so we were able to build a den for her. In the rainforest, the spider monkeys have access to three different sky pathways, which are tunnels up in the air that they can use to decide who to spend their day with. Spider monkeys are very social and they like to do different things from day-to-day. It is very important to us that our animals are living their best lives and doing what comes naturally to them.” The Brevard Zoo is all about conservation, be it making sure the species that live in its 12 | Jupiter Inlet Magazine

six different habitat areas, or donating 25 cents from every ticket and $5 from every annual pass sold to organizations like the International Rhino Foundation, the Sumatran Ranger Project or the ICAS – Wild Animal

Conservation Institute, which aims to protect giant anteaters from car strikes. “Just by coming to the zoo, the general public is helping us support those conservation projects,” Delgado said. “In addition to the international

projects, we have several in our own backyards that we support everyday, such as Restore our Shores, which works to bring the Indian River Lagoon back to a natural healthy state.” The Indian River Lagoon is about to become a major player in the Zoo’s everyday life. The Brevard Zoo is about halfway through a $100 million capital campaign to build a brand new aquarium and conservation center located on the banks of the Banana River in Port Canaveral. This 14-acre site will include an expanded (and more visible to the public) sea turtle healing

center, a conservation breeding program, manatee rehabilitation and world-class viewing opportunities. The addition of the aquarium and conservation center is the next step in the Zoo’s unofficial motto of “We Answer The Call”, Delgado said. “Everything will be outdoors and very immersive,” she said. “We want people to be able to get a more up-close look, see things from a different view. It will be a great location for Restore Our Shores and to be able to learn more about those programs, as well as see and enjoy the Space Coast.” While the new aquarium will add another dimension to how you see the Space Coast, perhaps the best way to see it all is from the top of a 75-foot tower as you prepare to zip 600 feet across a native wetland. Located right next to – and at times directly above – the Brevard Zoo is Treetop Trek. This aerial obstacle and zip line course takes you from treeto-tree and platform-to-platform over the otter and monkey exhibits, giving Treetop Trekkers a bird’s eye view of what’s going on below. The park features packages for different levels of experience and ages and includes everything from walking a tightrope between trees to navigating a rope course to climbing to the top of the 75-foot platform and zip-lining for nearly 30 seconds straight across a marshy area just outside the zoo. “What’s neat is there is something for everyone. We have Chutes and Ladders for the younger kids all the way up to 35 elements, including 14 zip lines for the more experienced,” Delgado said. “It’s definitely for thrill seekers, but what Treetop Trek does is give a unique look at Florida and a unique look at the Zoo’s habitats as a whole.”

BREVARD ZOO Where: 8225 N. Wickham Rd Melbourne, FL 32940

What: The Zoo consists of six “loops”: Expedition Africa, Lands of Change: Australia and Beyond, Wild Florida, Rainforest Revealed (features animals from Latin America), Caribbean Trail and Paws On (features a Barnyard, local aquatic species and water play). The Zoo is home to more than 900 animals representing 195 species from the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. Visitor favorites include our lions, jaguar, giraffe, rhinos, zebras, monkeys, otters, kangaroos, bears and alligators.

Additional Fun: For an additional cost, guests can feed giraffe and small parrots, kayak next to animal habitats, get an up-close experience with our rhinos, or ride a train. Treetop Trek, a separately ticketed attraction located adjacent to the Zoo, offers five aerial obstacle courses. More information is available at www. treetoptrek.com.

Exquisite Orchids By Jennifer Pelham University of Florida/IFAS Extension Martin County

M

any species of orchids thrive in Florida and will flower with little care. Some may be wary of orchids because of the perception they are difficult to grow and require a lot of effort for only one bloom per year. However, this is not the case.    Orchids come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and styles. There are approximately 850 genera, or groups, of orchids and 28,000 species within those groups.  There are six groups of orchids that are considered “easy to grow” because of their adaptability, minimal care, and, of course, beautiful flowers. These groups are the Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Vanda and Epidendrum orchids.   Most orchids require partial shade for optimum growth and flowering.  Too much sun can cause the leaves to yellow and burn. Growing the plants in the shade of trees, under eaves of houses, or on a covered patio is recommended.  Orchids do not grow in typical potting soil, but rather more porous material such as bark, volcanic stone, peat moss, charcoal or a combination of these materials. This is because their roots need to breathe. The roots do not like to be smothered in a compact potting soil. Orchids can also grow without any potting materials. As long as they receive enough water, orchids can be attached with bare roots to branches in trees, on wooden boards, or other items that provide them support.  Water is necessary and important to the health of orchids. How much and how often to water depends on factors such as, pot size and type (plastic or clay), growing media, location of plant, size of the plant, shade levels, weather, and other general environmental conditions. Typically, plants grown in small pots dry out more rapidly than those grown in large pots, therefore requiring water more frequently. Also, plants grown in porous clay pots dry out more rapidly than those grown in plastic pots. When watering orchids, saturate each pot until the medium is wet and water drains from the bottom of the pot. Then do not water again until the surface of the medium becomes dry. Orchids do not always require much time or effort. With proper shade, support and water, you will be successful with one of the six “easy to grow” genera of orchids. Just follow these basic cultural requirements, and the orchid will grow and flower for many years.  Jennifer Pelham is an Urban Horticulture Agent with the University of Florida/IFAS Extension Martin County.

NEW REEFS

Boost Local Ecosystems By Brett Fitzgerald

A

rtificial reefs, when properly planned, improve the quality of life for all residents. Thankfully, the artificial reef programs in Martin and Palm Beach counties fit that “properly planned” parameter pretty well.  Because of those two programs, the waters off our coast teem with reefs and sea life that wouldn’t be there without a little help from our local governments.

18 | Jupiter Inlet Magazine

Over the past 40 years, Palm Beach County has created reef areas using various materials to provide additional areas for fishing, diving and snorkeling and to protect the natural reefs from overuse. These artificial reefs, several of which can be found right offshore in Jupiter, are most often made out of limestone, concrete and decommissioned ships that become beautiful habitats for algae, coral and other marine life. 

To date,  Environmental Resource Management has deployed over 49 vessels, 110,000 tons of concrete and 140,000 tons of limestone boulders to create artificial reefs.  A well-planned reef system will not only attract bait and desired sportfish, but it will also create habitat that improves survivability of several species throughout their lifecycle, it will be an attraction for snorkelers and scuba divers

and, in some cases, it can help fend off coastal erosion.  The program in Martin County has been designed with the interest of anglers and divers in mind, but taking care of the fish themselves is also part of the plan. “Martin County lies right at the north end of a deepwater coral reef system that starts down in The Keys. Our first artificial reef location in the southern part of the county was selected because there is a known grouper spawning site nearby, plus there are 11 miles of reef for juveniles to use as habitat as they grow throughout their lifecycle,” says Martin County’s Coastal Program Manager Jessica Garland.  Garland says that although anglers benefit from the added structure, other residents benefit greatly.

The shallower locations are great for scuba divers and snorkelers,” she said.  Commercial fishermen are well aware of the added structures, which help them harvest some of the local fish we enjoy while out to dinner.  The county has a smooth system for placing new artificial reefs in the ocean. It starts with four locations offshore which are already permitted for the county to place reefs. Private citizens are not allowed to drop reefs, even within these boundaries, for a variety of reasons – a major one being that most of us have no idea what reef materials will end up causing more ecological damage than good. The public can access the locations of these reefs fairly easily. Just search “Martin County artificial reef locations” and the first link will take you to the website that has a printable document of GPS locations, and a link that shows a map of all reefs. (Note that when you select the map link, hit ‘cancel’ when 20 | Jupiter Inlet Magazine

it asks you to sign in and it will take you to the interactive map). As you zoom in on the four color-coded areas designated for reef deployment, the individual reefs within the location will start to appear. That they seem to line up from north to south is no accident. “We tried to design many of them so divers can start a drift on the south end, and the prevailing current [Gulf Stream] will allow divers to hit more than one reef per dive,” Garland said.  Much of the new artificial reef deployment is made from concrete that is delivered to the county from construction sites where demolition is being done. For example, last year a reef was deployed using concrete from the Murphy Road Bridge.  “This is material which would otherwise be going to our landfills,” said Courtney Ziesman, Public Works Outreach Coordinator. “Having a location for “clean” concrete to be dropped off for the county’s reef program not only provides habitat and saves the contractors money (the

Map of Martin County artificial reefs: https://www.martin.fl.us/Artificial-Reefs

dump is not free), it keeps more materials out of our landfills.”  The result, when done correctly, can lead to a new spot that divers, snorkelers and anglers can all share. Garland mentioned that, while many divers gravitate towards the “pretty” reefs like a vessel, the “ugly” spots, such as concrete rubble, often host more marine life. The invasive (and delicious) lionfish, for example, can be found on almost every reef off the coast. “Every nook and cranny in a reef can be a home for something,” she said. “Small fish work into the creases, lobsters might be in the concrete culverts. You never know what will be hanging around there.”

HOBE SOUND BOOK STORE A Florida Classic By Doreen Marcial Poreba

J

ulie Alexander is reliving history every day Road. In 1992, he bought the current property, through her many books, maps, gifts and had a building constructed and moved Florida artwork relating to Florida’s past. As the owner of Florida Classics Books & Gifts and Florida Classics Library Publishing in Hobe Sound, she is able to guide her customers who have an interest in Florida history by offering a variety of books, many of which her company has published. The store has an interesting history of its own as a family affair. Alexander’s uncle, Valentine Martin, owned the first bookstore in Stuart in 1959, which was named Valentine’s Book Store. In the mid-70s, he sold the bookstore and started a publishing company. His first project was when he got the rights to reprint Jonathan Dickinson’s journal. He went on the road, peddling the books that he had gotten the rights to reprint and publish. In the 1980’s, after traveling the state, he opened a bookstore on the south side of Bridge

Classics Library to the triangle-shaped piece of land where Lares Ave. and Dixie Highway meet. In 2012, Alexander came to visit, and that led to her involvement in Martin’s business. Because her uncle didn’t own a computer, some vendors decided not to publish with him anymore. He had been doing all of his business with them via fax and phone. He became concerned that he would have to close his publishing business and that’s when his niece came to his rescue. “He was in desperation wondering what he was going to do,” said Alexander. “I lived in St. Cloud at the time with a full-time job but I started having conversations via computer with his vendors, including Barnes & Noble, one of his biggest customers.” The vendors began emailing their orders and every morning she would fax them to her uncle so he could fill the orders. That lasted until 2018.

“That was when he talked me into retiring and taking over,” said Alexander. “I brought my husband one weekend to Hobe Sound and that was it. We lived upstairs for the first two years.” Alexander had the perfect fit for her new career because she had worked in retail for 33 years, the last 30 with Neiman Marcus. She always had an interest in having her own business.

“It’s all about keeping Florida history and Florida information alive and wanting to share that with other people,” “I knew what retail was all about,” she said. “We replaced the windows and started opening it up to make it look more attractive.” Realizing her dream has left her feeling great, she said. “I’m so happy to be able to keep his legacy. He passed away at age 89 in August 2021. He was up there but he ended up being so happy at the end. It made me feel great…that he knew that the publishing side would continue on.” Although Martin questioned some of the changes she suggested making along the way, in the end, she said he loved them. Today customers will find different sections of Florida maps and books, including local, Everglades, African Americans, Native Americans and what she terms creepy Florida and eerie Florida. There also is a section on Florida outdoors — hiking back roads, the springs, state parks and other places. Weather is a big topic given the annual threat of hurricanes, and there are sections on pirates, shipwreck and salvage, landscapes,

fishing, Florida waterways and children’s books. “It’s all about keeping Florida history and Florida information alive and wanting to share that with other people,” she said. “I think it’s so important that Florida has so much history, that they know everything about our state.” She cited some of the lesser known facts of Florida — Jonathan Dickinson’s journal from the late 1600s, which contains information about Hobe Sound; crashes off the coast of Florida; hurricane-related tragedies; and other harrowing stories. “Everglades River of Glass” is about Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who is responsible for getting Everglades made into a national park, and the “Barefoot Mailman,” is about the first mailman who walked from West Palm Beach to Miami delivering mail. Artwork by Florida artists or artists with a Florida connection hangs on the walls and the upstairs room features a gallery of artwork by local artist Dan Mackin. Alexander is even particular about the outside of her store. She created a natural garden for monarch and swallowtail butterflies and there are two murals on the outside of the building, one that she painted and the other was painted by artist Dave Gendron. “I wanted to make it attractive for people driving by that say, ‘Wow, that’s beautiful,’” she said. And with all of the colorful artwork adorning the shop’s walls, perhaps customers will find the inside beautiful as well. Florida Classics Books & Gifts and Florida Classics Library Publishing is located at 11300 SE Dixie Hwy., Hobe Sound.

Almost a century later,

A SHL EY G A N G STILL SPARKS INTRIGUE By Doreen Marcial Poreba

T

his is a story of survival, crime and corruption — on both sides of the law. Known as the notorious Ashley Gang, these infamous outlaws date back to the 1910’s and 1920’s in Stuart, Florida. Although their story has been told before, local historian Steve Carr wants to “level the playing field” when it comes to telling the Ashley story. Patriarch Joe Ashley and his wife, Lugenia, lived in Fruita, between Stuart and Hobe Sound. They raised five boys and four girls on their family homestead and were well respected in the community. However, during Prohibition and The Great Depression, to make ends meet, like many others, the family expanded its business enterprises to make and sell moonshine. “People didn’t have options back then, there were no social safety nets,” said Carr. “They weren’t going to watch their children starve so they began producing alcohol.” The Ashley boys also engaged in the dangerous endeavor of rum running from The Bahamas. This put them on the wrong side of the law with Desoto Tiger and his son.

24 | Jupiter Inlet Magazine

Palm Beach County Sheriff Bob Baker whose jurisdiction at that time included the territory that later became Martin County. The part of the untold story, according to Carr, is how community-minded the Ashley family was, giving well-paying jobs to African Americans, and just how corrupt the sheriff himself was. Carr said that Baker didn’t want the Black community to become affluent. He was deeply entrenched in the Ku Klux Klan. “At that time, there was corruption in law enforcement, courts, railroad, banking … everything around them,” said Carr. This was the community saying, ‘enough is enough.’ People didn’t give a damn about the law. That was the smallest of their concerns. With no social safety nets, it was, ‘How do we live?’” In 1911, authorities accused son, John Ashley, of Seminole trapper Desoto Tiger’s murder. Desoto was a Seminole from a camp near Indiantown, and the son of Cow Creek chief Tommy Tiger. Trial transcripts reveal that Ashley was with Desoto in a boat headed for Miami to sell otter furs. The two of them got into an argument and when Desoto

Bahamian American working the Ashley still. threatened Ashley with a knife, Ashley shot and killed him, claiming self-defense. “John was a bandit,” said Carr. “He did kill Desoto Tiger but his conviction was thrown out due to lack of evidence. To the general public in South Florida, John was the small story. It was more about how crooked Sheriff Baker was with prostitution, gambling and illegally selling alcohol. Eventually Baker was sent to Tallahassee to face corruption charges but because there were no witnesses, he became sheriff again.” John Ashley began to rob banks and trains with other family members and outsiders joined with him. They soon became known as the Ashley Gang. They went on to engage in one of their first crimes in 1915 with a bank heist in Stuart and ended up robbing the Bank of Stuart twice. Although there are only three known bank robberies orchestrated by the gang, every unsolved crime in South Florida was attributed to them at that time. Ashley and three of the gang members’ lives came to an end on November 1, 1924, when they were captured and gunned down by Indian River

John Ashley.

County deputies on the Sebastian River Bridge. The question is still being asked today whether it was self-defense or murder. “The Ashley Gang’s intriguing saga is filled with so many complex details that it is still being researched and discussed today as a significant piece of Martin County’s rich history,” said Rob Steele, president and CEO of the Historical Society of Martin County. “The year 2024 will mark the 100th anniversary of their deaths, yet the legendary exploits of the Ashley Gang still captivate history lovers, and all who love an exciting story.” Those intrigued with the area’s history and the Ashley Gang can learn more at the Elliott Museum in Stuart. The museum curated a permanent exhibit titled the “Notorious Ashley Gang—The Making of a Legend.” The exhibit features various artifacts and photos that depict their lives of crime. The artifact in the exhibit that captures a lot of attention is John Ashley’s glass eye because it’s being displayed publicly for the first time. He lost his eye during the 1915 bank heist when Jupiter Inlet Magazine | 25

One of the Ashley daughters with her dad Julius Warren “Joe Ashley” one of his own men shot him. The bullet entered through his left jaw and lodged behind his right eye. Whether it was an accident or due to an argument remains a mystery today. The bullet remained in place even after Ashley was fitted with a blue prosthetic eye. “It speaks to so much of what John was about,” said Carr. “Sheriff Baker made the claim in his re-election campaign that he would wear Ashley’s eye on a watch fob. That became the rallying cry for those who wanted to get rid of the Ashley Gang.”

Mary, Lola, Daisey and Eva Ashley. Other exhibit artifacts include a coffee pot riddled with bullet holes and a frying pan being used for cover that was shot through the bottom. The museum changes the exhibit from time to time to keep it fresh, using different themes.

“This exhibit and story are part of the fabric of American history and because it’s local, it becomes even more important,” said Carr. “It’s part of us, it’s who we are.”

The “Notorious Ashley Gang—The Making of a Legend,” is a permanent exhibit at the Elliott Museum. Located on Hutchinson Island, the museum’s address is 825 NE Ocean Blvd. in Stuart. The Elliott Museum is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the website, www.hsmc-fl.com or call the museum at 772-225-1961.
