VERO BEACH VERO BEACH When Jeff Matthews, manager of recreation programs for the City of Vero Beach, was asked what improvements hed like to see at Leisure Square, he didnt hesitate to request shade on the pool deck.

Now, there are plans to build a poolside pavilion at the public facility with a free kick-off event on March 1 called Community Day at Leisure Square.

On any given Saturday, 500 people check in at Leisure Square recreational and aquatic campus on 16th Street to work out or take classes.

The city-owned complex has long been an integral part of the neighborhood, a place where generations of children have learned to swim, do back walkovers and shoot hoops.

Situated on 10 acres between 27th and 43rd avenues, Leisure Square contains wide open soccer, rugby and lacrosse fields, an expansive pool and basketball courts, as well as five buildings housing year-round gymnastics, dance and exercise classes.

Prior to the city acquiring Leisure Square in 1992, it was a YMCA. Back then, people didnt know as much about the dangers of overexposure to the sun.

Summer campers used to be outside in the sun 90 percent of the day, says Matthews, who learned to swim at the former Y as a boy growing up in Vero Beach.

JOHOR BARU: THERE are numerous pre-war buildings in the state's capital city and each has an interesting history behind it.

Johor is made up of 10 districts which include Johor Baru, Batu Pahat, Kluang, Kulaijaya, Muar, Kota Tinggi, Segamat, Pontian, Ledang and Mersing.

Johor residents often refer to the state's capital city Johor Baru, as "bandar".

Historians tell us that the Johor Sultanate ruled over Johor, which was then known as Jauhar, since the 14th century.

Johor originated from the Arabic word jauhar, which meant gem or jewel.

Johor Baru was then known as Tanjung Puteri, or the Princess's Cape.

Johor Baru survived and succeeded even during the British colonialism in 1914 and the Japanese occupation in 1942.

Johor is also known for its people who are multicultural, with different beliefs, and religions, but work as a unit, otherwise known as Bangsa Johor.

Evidence of this unity is the houses of worship in the capital city.

One of the most unique and beautiful houses of worship is the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque, which was constructed between 1892 and 1900.

One particularly picturesque hill incentral Sochi is being transformed intothe new Svetlana district, anarea being built up with prestigious apartment buildings that offer aspectacular view ofthe sea.

But most ofthe buildings still remain uninhabited, while those who live there are woken up bythe sounds ofdrills every morning.

Alocal pensioner, Sergei Ivanovich, said he had lived inthis part ofSochi his whole life andthings have changed drastically.

"I remember when this hill was blooming with aparadise ofgardens, where huge oranges andsweet-smelling mandarins grew," he said.

I met Sergei Ivanovich, who gave only his first name andpatronymic but declined tosay his last name, when I was going home one dark Sochi evening andgot lost. He said he would help me find my way and, despite his old age, he climbed up thehill with buoyant steps. Forthe rest ofour journey, he regaled me with incredible andmaybe tall tales.

He cast aglance atthe road that had been blocked forPresident Vladimir Putin's arrival intown, Kurortny Prospect, forcing both traffic andpedestrians towait forthe Russian leader's cortege topass.

"We have seen everyone here: Stalin, Brezhnev, Andropov, Yeltsin, everyone spent their vacation inSochi," Sergei Ivanovich said, adding that security forthe Soviet leaders was not as strict as it later became forRussia's leaders.

When former Russian President Boris Yeltsin came toSochi, he said, there were six lines ofsecurity along thestreet, andarmed officers sat inthe bushes.

"All pedestrians were prohibited fromwalking along thestreet, andwhen anold woman continued towalk down thestreet anyway, anofficer ran out andtold her that he would use his gun if she did not stop. I remember, I looked ather hands, which she was using tohold onto her cane, andthey were white because she was clutching thecane so tightly infear ofmaking asingle move," Sergei Ivanovich said.
