Winter season is just not the same without our beloved Dodgers here in spring training. Withdrawal pains would be eased if we could just court a new team. CNN is trying to help us out with a live broadcast here in Vero Beach to show just how desirable our small town venue could be for baseball, football even! As we suffer through the economic downturn with the rest of the nation, our town would certainly enjoy the excitement of a new love affair with a new team -- is there a online "dating" website for towns looking for the crack of a bat, the smack of shoulder pads up close and personal from our small town bleachers ---- sigh!
Biofuel may soon become one of the new companies relocating to Vero Beach, Florida. New Planet Energy, a California based alternative fuel company, is negotiating to buy property in southwest Indian River County to convert a variety of micro-organisms from plant wastes and trash into biofuel. The Indian River Chamber of Commerce is enthusiastically promoting the company's application for permits to allow the company to produce 8 million gallons of biofuel a year within the next two years. The company is also working with the county landfill managers in a proposal to use methane gas and solid wastes from the land fill.
Florida's Energy Act is offering a $2.5 million grant to encourage this project in keeping with the state goal to achieve 10% of motor fuel from alternative sources by 2010.
In our opinion, these sources of biofuel would be especially consumer-friendly because these waste sources would not impact food prices as in the case of the diversion of corn to biofuel.

Jeff Mitchell smiles broadly as he takes a day off from Real Estate and hooks a nice 12 pound Mahi Mahi off the coast of Vero Beach Florida -- these brillantly colorful fish are fun to catch and flavorful to eat -- featured fresh in season at many area restaurants. We caught enough to share with friends.
