Indian River County rejects proposed nonprofit grant program

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY It s still too soon to talk about bailing out nonprofits suffering financially because of the COVID-19 pandemic, county commissioners said Tuesday.
Getting people vaccinated against the coronavirus and helping them meet their basic needs are priorities, commissioners said. For now, they said, nonprofits need to seek assistance from organizations such as the United Way or hold their own fundraisers.
Now is not the time, said Commissioner Peter O Bryan, stressing the county needs to focus on vaccinations, not looking for money fund nonprofits. I think we re up to our eyeballs trying to get these vaccines out.

I go to the Gomez Pioneer Cemetery in Hobe Sound and look at the years these people were born, said Martin County history enthusiast Lloyd Jones.

The 90-year-old Vero Beach resident, who lived along the Indian River on the island until the age of 4, said mosquitoes were so bad that residents used smudge pots to create a constant level of smoke in hopes of driving the nasty bugs away.
“I remember they were so bad they covered the screens,” said Wolverton, as she stood Friday on Jungle Trail just south of Jones Pier where her home once stood. “You couldn’t even see outside; all you could see and hear were mosquitoes.” ....
