Brevard County has a treasure trove<br />

of activities awaiting you. The<br />

FLORIDA TODAY <strong>Fact</strong> <strong>Book</strong> is the<br />

place to discover them.<br />

One of the most celebrated attractions<br />

for tourists and residents alike is the<br />

Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex’s<br />

$100 million attraction, Space Shuttle<br />

Atlantis. Opened in June 2013, it stars none<br />

other than one of NASA’s four retired<br />

space shuttles.<br />

The six-story facility housing Space<br />

Shuttle Atlantis lets visitors experience<br />

one of mankind’s most amazing<br />

achievements and learn more about<br />

NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle program.<br />

Back down to Earth, our 72-mile long<br />

county offers endless opportunities for<br />

nature lovers. From strolling along our<br />

ample beaches and kayaking lagoons, to<br />

fishing our rivers and enjoying picnics in<br />

public parks, nature lovers will find an<br />

endless source of appeal.<br />

Those loving the arts and<br />

entertainment will find an unending array<br />

of activities. Theater patrons frequently<br />

rave about the six bona fide community<br />

theaters here.<br />

Visual artists abound here and<br />

regularly exhibit in area galleries; dance<br />

companies perform throughout the year.<br />

Florida Tech runs the county’s two fine<br />

art museums and curates vivid, exciting<br />

exhibitions.<br />

Musical concerts range from country to<br />

classic, from amateur to world renown,<br />

and are held in a variety of venues from<br />

300 to 2,000 seats. It’s enough to make any<br />

music lover call Brevard “heaven.”<br />

Want to discover a club or charitable<br />

organization to broaden your interests and<br />

let your volunteer spirit soar?<br />

Or maybe how to contact your elected<br />

official or find your nearest public school?<br />

This is where to look.<br />

Discover the myriad activities and<br />

attractions waiting to connect you to your<br />

community and remind you why you love<br />

living in Brevard.<br />

12 <strong>Fact</strong> <strong>Book</strong> <strong>2016</strong>-17 Floridatoday.com


Life in Brevard<br />

Marriage and Divorce<br />

To apply for a marriage license or<br />

divorce in Brevard County, applicants<br />

must go to a Brevard County<br />

Clerk of the Circuit Court office<br />

between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays.<br />

For information, call 321-<br />

637-5413 (option 3) or check the<br />

website at brevardclerk.us.<br />

Offices are at:<br />

Melbourne: 51 S. Nieman Ave.,<br />

Melbourne Branch Courthouse<br />

Merritt Island: 2575 N. Courtenay<br />

Parkway, Room 129, Merritt<br />

Island Complex<br />

Palm Bay: 450 Cogan Drive SE,<br />

County Service Complex<br />

Titusville: 400 South St.<br />

Viera: 2825 Judge Fran Jamieson<br />

Way, first floor, Moore Justice<br />

Center<br />

Valid photo identification, such<br />

as a driver’s license, must be presented.<br />

Both applicants must provide<br />

Social Security numbers. If previously<br />

married, you must know the<br />

date when the previous marriage<br />

ended.<br />

For a marriage license, both<br />

applicants must apply together in<br />

person.<br />

Filling out an online application<br />

at http://web1.brevardclerk.us/<br />

oscar/cform.aspx can expedite the<br />

application process. Save the application<br />

number it provides and bring<br />

it to the clerk.<br />

To obtain a marriage license<br />

without parental consent, both<br />

applicants must be at least 18 years<br />

of age. The age restriction does not<br />

apply for individuals who have been<br />

married previously or can prove they<br />

are parents or expectant parents.<br />

A marriage license application<br />

fee of $93.50 can be reduced to $61<br />

if both parties submit a certificate of<br />

completion of an approved premarital<br />

preparation course. If the ceremony<br />

is performed at the clerk’s<br />

office, an extra $30 is charged.<br />

Certified copies of marriage<br />

licenses are available for $3 each.<br />

In most cases, there is a threeday<br />

waiting period for Florida<br />

residents. If the bride and groom are<br />

residents of Florida and both took<br />

the premarital course and submitted<br />

a certificate of completion,<br />

there is no waiting period. A hardship<br />

may be declared to avoid the<br />

waiting period. There is no waiting<br />

period for nonresidents.<br />

The Clerk of the Court office can<br />

provide information on how to<br />

obtain paperwork needed to file for<br />

a divorce.<br />

Weather<br />

Life in Brevard<br />

Hurricanes, lightning<br />

keep Brevard on alert<br />

CRAIG RUBADOUX<br />

Severe thunderstorms roll across the Indian<br />

River.<br />

By Chris Kridler<br />

For FLORIDA TODAY<br />

As blizzards blast the northern<br />

states, Floridians can count on<br />

mostly mild winters, along<br />

with tempestuous summers and the<br />

occasional hurricane.<br />

They are all a part of the daily<br />

drama we call Florida weather.<br />

Much of it is pleasant, with average<br />

winter highs in Melbourne in the<br />

low 70s and lows about 50; in the<br />

summer, expect your low 70s at<br />

night and temperatures around 90<br />

during the day.<br />

The dry season of late fall<br />

through early spring may increase<br />

the danger of fire, while summer<br />

monthly rain totals range from<br />

almost 6 to well over 7 inches from<br />

June through September, according<br />

to the National Weather Service.<br />

Those totals can be enhanced by<br />

tropical storms and hurricanes. Of<br />

hurricanes that have affected the<br />

United States, 40 percent hit<br />

Florida, which gets the most of any<br />

state — 114 landfalls from 1851 to<br />

2010.<br />

The 2015 hurricane season was<br />

slow in the Atlantic basin, with 11<br />

tropical cyclones formed, of which<br />

nine were named.<br />

A Category 1 hurricane has<br />

sustained wind speeds of 74 to 95<br />

mph. A catastrophic Category 5<br />

tops 155 mph. In any hurricane, it is<br />

wise to evacuate trailers and<br />

manufactured homes, and<br />

residents of the barrier islands may<br />

be ordered to leave.<br />

The country’s lightning capital,<br />

Florida leads the states in lightning<br />

deaths and injuries. If you hear<br />

thunder, you can be struck. Get into<br />

a building or an enclosed metal car,<br />

and stay off corded phones and<br />

away from plumbing. Open<br />

structures such as picnic pavilions<br />

aren’t safe.<br />

Florida has a large number of<br />

tornadoes and waterspouts; rare<br />

Central Florida tornado events<br />

have been deadly. Stay informed by<br />

buying a weather radio, which<br />

picks up National Weather Service<br />

forecasts and sounds an alert tone<br />

when watches and warnings are<br />

issued.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> HURRICANE NAMES<br />

Once a tropical cyclone reaches the status of a<br />

tropical storm, with sustained winds of 39<br />

mph, it receives a name. At 74 mph, it becomes<br />

a hurricane. These are the names for 2015<br />

Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes:<br />

Introduction<br />

Skateboard enthusiasts have plenty of locations at which to enjoy their activity.<br />

CRAIG RUBADOUX/FLORIDA TODAY<br />

Brevard perfect hot spot to soak up sporting life<br />

FLORIDA TODAY Staff<br />

Brevard County is home<br />

to just about every<br />

sport imaginable.<br />

Whether you like to<br />

participate or watch, chances<br />

are you’ll find something you<br />

enjoy.<br />

Local waterways offer<br />

some of the finest boating and<br />

sailing, and an ideal<br />

environment for water skiing,<br />

wake boarding, stand-up<br />

paddleboarding, kayaking and<br />

canoeing, as well as<br />

competitive and recreational<br />

rowing. Kite-boarding is<br />

gaining in popularity, along<br />

with more traditional forms of<br />

board-sailing.<br />

Though wave conditions<br />

are not always perfect for<br />

surfing — or perhaps because<br />

of that — Brevard County has<br />

produced several major<br />

surfing stars, including world<br />

champion Kelly Slater of<br />

Cocoa Beach and the Hobgood<br />

twins, C.J. and Damien,<br />

veterans on the World Surf<br />

League. Local contests are<br />

conducted annually from<br />

Cocoa Beach south to<br />

Sebastian Inlet.<br />

Kiteboarders enjoy their sport.<br />

Surfers often share their<br />

favorite inlet break with<br />

anglers in search of a<br />

treasured taste of snook or a<br />

fight with a tarpon. Those are<br />

two of the many species<br />

available along the county’s<br />

coast and in its lagoons and<br />

inland waterways.<br />

Super boat races come<br />

every May to Cocoa Beach,<br />

bringing in some of the fastest<br />

boats around.<br />

If water sports aren’t your<br />

RILEY SHORTT, FOR FLORIDA TODAY<br />

thing, Brevard is home to<br />

many challenging public and<br />

private golf courses designed<br />

by some of the great players.<br />

Tennis facilities from<br />

Titusville to south of<br />

Melbourne Beach include just<br />

about every surface. There is<br />

also a women’s pro<br />

tournament at the Kiwi Club<br />

in Indian Harbour Beach.<br />

And then there are the<br />

county’s many parks, where<br />

everything from bocce ball to<br />

cricket, horseshoes, disc golf,<br />

sand volleyball, softball and<br />

soccer — to name a few — are<br />

available year round in<br />

addition to miles of running,<br />

hiking and mountain biking<br />

trails. There also is an<br />

equestrian facility and<br />

archery range at Melbourne’s<br />

Wickham Park.<br />

The Washington Nationals’<br />

spring training move from<br />

Space Coast Stadium to<br />

Broward County will mean no<br />

more major league baseball in<br />

Brevard after this season, but<br />

the Brevard County Manatees<br />

of the Class A Florida State<br />

League play at the stadium<br />

from April through August.<br />

There also are numerous<br />

facilities offering bowling and<br />

billiards. Ice skaters and<br />

hockey fans gravitate to the<br />

Space Coast Ice Plex in<br />

Rockledge while extreme<br />

sports enthusiasts take<br />

advantage of several<br />

first-class skate parks. There<br />

also is a rock climbing facility<br />

in West Melbourne.<br />

All in all, the Space Coast<br />

offers something for just<br />

about everyone.<br />

Outdoor fun<br />

Outdoors<br />

FLORIDA TODAY<br />

Orlando fishermen Dan Parks and Scott Fosgate found this nice tarpon<br />

crusing the beaches off Port Canaveral.<br />

Water, water, everywhere. And that means fun for<br />

Brevard residents and tourists alike, who enjoy the beaches<br />

and rivers to surf, swim, sail and fish. It might be known as<br />

“The Small Wave Capital of the World,” but outdoor fun is<br />

measured in a very big way here, with surfing contests,<br />

triathlons and powerboat races, or just relaxing in the<br />

sunshine.<br />
