Sheriff: terrorism can happen anywhere
FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 2015

MARTIN COUNTY — Sheriff William Snyder said the 4,500 miles between Palm City and Paris don’t diminish the horror of three cops murdered in the line of duty as they stood against terrorists. “When I see a law-enforcement officer killed, I don’t see a French officer killed,” he said. “I see the bigger community of law-enforcement officers, I see my deputies; I see state troopers.” On Wednesday, Jan. 7, Cherif and Said Kouachi attacked the offices of the French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, killing 12, reportedly to the shouts of “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.” Those words are a famous rally cry for Islamist militants and terrorists. The publication frequently antagonized Islamists with, among other things, unflattering comic depictions of Muhammad. Among the dead were Franck Binsolaro and Ahmed Merabet, officers with the Police nationale, French National Police. Video of one of the gunmen shooting Merabet, reportedly an Algerian and practicing Muslim, at close range in the head after he was injured shocked many. Also killed was policewoman Clarissa Jean-Phil-

Homeless veterans get help Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — Homeless vets in Martin County have a new help and hope: House-AVet’s Lundberg-McMahon Home in Stuart. Palm City volunteer, Pete Ellis, said his housing is secure, so why’d he spend hours helping to prepare the home?
“Pay it forward,” Ellis said. Works every time.” Ellis was in the Air Force from 1955 to 1962. The house for temporarily helping homeless veterans was dedicated on Wednesday, Jan. 7. The first resident, who was living there as work was still under way, was Bob Drexler. Drexler was doing well when he moved to Florida’s Treasure Coast about 15 years ago.
“I had money in the bank, sold a building, and came here,” he said. Shortly after getting to the Sunshine State, the now 80-yearold Army veteran, who’d served in the Korean War, found out about a hot investment opportunity — Enron. He took out a mortgage on the house he bought with cash and dropped

big dollars into the company Fortune named “the most innovative” several years in a row. What could go wrong? As Enron started collapsing under the weight of fraudulent business practices in 2001, which ended in a 2004 bankruptcy, all of Drexler’s fortunes seemed to go with it. Even a flea market business he’d started to make ends meet crashed due to circumstances beyond Drexler’s control. “I got sick,” he said. “The (Department of Veterans Affairs) hospital saved my life three times.” Drexler pulled up his shirt, to show that his torso looks like a 3-D jigsaw puzzle with vertical and horizontal scars, giving credibility to his medical claims. “I lost my business, and could not pay taxes on the house,” he said. The former beauty-supply corporate rep was evicted and found himself on the streets. “I was running around looking for handouts,” he said. “I am usually the guy that gives.” Drexler was reduced to living at a makeshift homeless camp, so he made his way to Tony Reese, Martin County’s Veterans Services supervisor. Reese called
Kevin Donahue, co-founder and director of House-A-Vet. “We weren’t ready yet,” Donahue said. “I asked the guys, ‘Can we get it done?’” Work sped up to get enough of the Lundberg-McMahon Home ready for Drexler. Work progressed as Drexler lived there. Reese said he’s grateful the house is opened about two miles from his office. “A homeless veteran comes into my office, and my first question is, what can I do right now?” he said. At the dedication, County Commissioner John Haddox talked about when he was supervisor at the county’s veteran services. “(Homelessness) was one of our biggest problems,” he said. “(Clients) would say, ‘I don’t have a place to stay tonight.” Reese has options to help homeless veterans, such as applying for the Housing and Urban Development and VA Supportive Housing Program, HUD-VASH. But, Reese said that takes an average of three to four weeks to get back housing-choice vouchers. Reese can draw money from an account created by the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1041, informally called the “rapid response

HOMELESS from page 2 fund,” to pay for motel rooms for some of them in the meantime. “I can put a veteran up for a week,” Reese said. “But beyond that, if you don’t have a plan, you’re throwing money away.” Reese said the Lundberg-McMahon Home expands his options for helping homeless veterans and their families. Donahue, a Navy veteran, and about a half dozen volunteers started up House-A-Vet in November of 2013. It started under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign War’s Post 4149, Stuart. House-A-Vet is now an independent entity. House-A-Vet has helped veterans and their families with minor home maintenance, so small things don’t become costly repairs that can lead to inadequate housing and homelessness. Last year, House-A-Vet teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Martin County to donate volunteer hours to help veterans get homes through that program. But, the Lundberg-McMahon Home is its largest project so far. The organization has an opportunity to expand it to a second home next door to the first. Drexler thinks life’s roulette wheel has started spinning in his favor again.
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Kevin Donhue, House-A-Vet director, and Bob Drexler cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening of a transitional home through House-A-Vet for veterans in need of housing. Drexler is the current resident and another family is scheduled to move their next week. “I found another place — my own,” he said. “Everything fell into place after all this bad luck for 10 years. I can sleep at night
now, and that’s a big deal.” A single mother with three children is lined up to move into the Lundberg-McMahon Home a few
days after press time. For more about House-A-Vet, visit www.vfw4194houseavet.org.

Editor’s note: Your Voice News & Views spoke to K.C. Traylor, founder of Florida Not All Aboard, and Michael Reininger, president of All Aboard Florida, about 2014 and 2015 — how each sees them.
All Aboard Florida president: project is still on track Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — The train is coming, far as Michael Reininger is concerned. He said 2014 was a banner year for All Aboard Florida. “It was a very productive year,” he said. “It was quite a remarkable set of accomplishments achieved in a relatively short period of time.” Reininger is president of All Aboard Florida, the proposed 235-mile high-speed passenger rail service that’ll connect downtown Miami to the Orlando International Airport. Although it’ll cut a swath through the hearts of Martin and St. Lucie counties, there are no stops planned in either. “The biggest things are the conclusion of the environmental process, and the conclusion of the rest of the financing of the project,” Reininger said. In 2014 the company submitted an Environmental Impact Statement to the Federal Railroad Administration as part of the process for requesting an about $1.5 billion Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan from the federal government. In December, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave All Aboard Florida permis-

Traylor at the time, joined Facebook and started a petition on change.org in the middle of February last year. By summer, All Aboard Florida was a campaign issue in the governor’s race. Hundreds of folks gathered at Flagler Park, Stuart, on a beautiful Sunday, May 4. Traylor stepped onto a platform with a podium and microphone. She looked over the crowd of hundreds of sign-carrying protestors. Her lips curled to a smile. Traylor started railing

Having More Retirement Accounts is Not the Same as Having More Money. When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees. Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals. *Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Dieu vous bénisse, Charlie Hebdo Editor’s note: This column was written in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre last week, in which terrorists killed journalists and cartoonists working for the French satirical magazine. The terrorists claimed the attacks were in retaliation for cartoons mocking the Islamic prophet, Mohammed. The attacks are a grim reminder of why we need to be ever on-guard to protect our freedoms that radicals are willing to kill for.

xcuse me, sir,” the woman said. I stopped doing my tai chi and responded, “Can I help you?” “Yes,” she said. “I’d appreciate it if you’d stop doing that. A few of us are here with our children and don’t want them exposed to that sort of thing.” We were standing in DeLand’s Earl Brown Park. I liked doing taijiquan, tai chi, on the basketball courts when they were empty. I looked at her, seeking signs of jesting. “You’re joking?” I asked. “We’re Christians who love the Lord,” she answered. “We don’t believe in New Age activities like that, and don’t want our children exposed to it.” I nodded in feigned sympathy. “Well, then put them in a hermetically-sealed biosphere with opaque walls until they turn 18,” I answered and went back to doing my physical, mental and spiritual exercise completely unconcerned that their children could see me.

People can flagrantly disrespect the closest thing I have to a holy book, the “Tao Te Ching.” Want to burn a copy? I’ll give you one to do just that, and hold the lighter as you douse it in gasoline. Its words are just a collection of printed letters that take on meaning only when they’re in my heart helping to guide my actions. You can’t touch the “Tao Te Ching” in my heart with a Bic. advertisements to sell everything from surfing boards to alcoholic beverages. People even use “yin/ yang” as euphemistic profanity. Gasp. I’m grateful people can do this and have never thought to express displeasure to anyone offending my sensitivities over it. People can flagrantly disrespect the closest thing I have to a holy book, the “Tao Te Ching.” Want to burn a copy? I’ll give you one to do just that, and hold the lighter as you douse it in gasoline. Its words are just a collection of printed letters that take on meaning only when they’re in my heart helping to guide my actions. You can’t touch the “Tao Te Ching” in my heart with a Bic. Last week, the world witnessed again that there are people who put their religious sensitivities above humanity. Gunmen walked into the Paris offices of a satirical weekly newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, and killed in the name of Islam. Whether the two are Muslims isn’t for me to decide — that’s up to those who count themselves as Muslim. The paper offended Cherif and Said Kouachi with sardonic depictions of Muhammad, so they went on a killing rampage. Dramatic, but not the only example of intolerance for real or perceived offense among many who count themselves as Muslims. That emotional fragility is legally codified in some countries. For example, in 2012, Egyptian courts jailed a 17-year-old Coptic Christian for three years for “insulting Islam” on his Facebook page and among friends. Nothing can be said about Islam or any other religion that would warrant three minutes in prison, let alone years. Also in 2012 an adolescent Christian girl with Down syndrome in Pakistan was jailed and faced the death sentence on the
alleged testimony of a youth to an imam that she’d desecrated pages of the Koran. With no physical evidence any desecration ever happened, crowds in that country demanded the arrest, and execution of a developmentally disabled child, for violating the country’s blasphemy laws. The imam was later found to have fabricated evidence and the girl was acquitted. Her family had to flee to Canada due to death threats made by people willing to kill on the outside possibility that maybe she might have perhaps dreamed about doing something that could have conceivably offended them on a bad day. When we see the militarized terrorists killing over real or perceived offenses to Islam, usually in Europe these days, remember that the emotional fragility is considered so normal in some Muslim countries that it’s legally codified as a criminal offense worthy of imprisonment or death to offend it. The Western World, too, has emotionally fragile true believers of all sorts who chronically whine on YouTube about being offended. But they don’t kill. Remember Andres Serrano’s repulsive photograph “Piss Christ?” The photo of a crucifix submerged in urine has stirred letter-writing campaigns and vandalism of prints of it since the late ‘80s. The death toll: 0. However, we should also remember that in the not-too-distant past, use of murderous terror to suppress offending messages and preserve dominance was routine in America. On Christmas night, 1951, Harry and Harriette Moore died in a bombing in Mims. They’d offended some folks by speaking out for racial equality, something many at that time believed went against the Bible. Since then, we’ve built up a wall of free-speech case law and hate-crime legislation that help protect our rights to offend others just by being who we are, practicing our beliefs and speaking our minds. Legally it’s my place to decide whom I’ll offend, not any radical’s and certainly not the government’s. It’s others’ places to decide when and how they’ll offend me. Offend away. I rejoice that you can say and do things that offend my deepest beliefs and sensitivities. To the publishers and staff at Charlie Hebdo who worked and died to help ensure no one is above criticism, exposure and ridiculing, Dieu vous bénisse, God bless.

lippe, who was a rookie on traffic detail. French police killed the Kouachi brothers in a raid two days later. Simultaneously police raided a grocery store where a third apparent terrorist had taken hostages. At press time, links between the events are still unclear. However, in two days terrorists killed 17 in four locations. “These Islamist terrorists do not want to see our Western culture exist,” Snyder said. He said that the foundations of American and Western European cultures, the freedoms of thought, speech and religion, are anathema to Islamic jihadists who believe that Islam should guide every aspect of social and political structures. “On any day, this can happen anywhere in the free world,” Snyder said Terrorists come in all political, national and religious stripes. For example, Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, and Ted Kaczynski, the Unibomber, were miles apart in almost every ideological way. Snyder said federal and local law enforcement must remain vigilant to discover and foil planned attacks from a wide variety of homegrown and imported extremists. But— “The fact is none of those pose

Sheriff William Snyder a systemic threat to our way of life,” Snyder said. “They pose a threat to their victims, but that’s not going to change free speech in America. He added, “Radical jihadists can do that.” There are two primary branches of Islam, Shia and Sunni. The Islamic Republic of Iran is arguably the fulcrum of international Shia Islam and used to be a leading source for terrorism primarily in the Middle East, such as Islamic Jihad’s 1983 simultaneous bombings of American and French military barracks in Lebanon that killed 305. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is arguably the hub for Sunni Islam. Jihadists such as the deceased Osama bin Laden are usually Sunni adherents to Qutbism, a puritan religious and political ideology espoused by Egyptian Sayyid Qutb, who was hanged by his government in 1966. In broad terms, the end aim of Qutbism is creation of an international caliphate to institute Islamic law, often called sharia, which they believe will ensure human dignity. While the vast majority of Muslims are peaceable, there are many who subscribe to more

sion to sell about $1.75 billion in bonds issued through Florida Development Finance Corp. Reininger said both represented great progress the company made, along with starting construction on three stations. Construction on the 60,000-squarefoot West Palm Beach station started in November. The station is on Quadrille Boulevard, bounded by Datura and Evernia streets. The 60,000-square-foot Fort Lauderdale station was started in October. The other station is in Miami.

conservative schools, such as Wahhabism, which receives state sponsorship in Saudi Arabia. Many of these conservative Muslims are opposed to terrorist acts done in support of Qutbist ideas, but are often sympathetic to the terrorists’ grievances and aims. That complex mix exists among about 1.8 billion people, or about 23 percent of the world population. Synder said local law-enforcers get regular terrorism-threat updates from federal agencies. “Two of my deputies have security clearance and we get real-time updates from the FBI,” Snyder said. “The old days of them not telling the locals are long gone.” He said Treasure Coast departments regularly train for active-shooter and disaster scenarios. While that training covers a wide variety of situations, terrorism is one of them. The sheriff urged Martin residents to see the attack on Charlie Hebdo not as a French problem an ocean away, but as good neighbors who share in Paris’ pain. “The biggest thing to me is to continue living our lives as free Americans,” he said. “We are our brothers’ keepers and we should watch out for each other.” Calls to Islamic centers that serve the Treasure Coast for comment were unanswered.
Reininger said that by the end of 2016 All Aboard Florida will have its first phase taking passengers between and the Magic and Orchid cities with a stop in between them in Fort Lauderdale. “We ordered the trains, and they started the manufacturing process,” Reininger said. Siemens is constructing the locomotives and passenger coaches in California. The first order was for five trainsets, each with two locomotives and four passenger coaches. All Aboard Florida intends to purchase another five

trainsets, and expand to seven the number of coaches between locomotives. Reininger said, “2014 was a year when we moved out of the planning and engineering phase and moved into the implementation phase.” But, there was also an eruption of opposition to All Aboard Florida last year. The Treasure Coast is ground zero for Florida Not All Aboard, an opposition group largely organized by Palm City’s K.C. Traylor that thrust the proposed passenger rail into the gubernatorial election’s issues. “There seems to be an awful lot of anxiety driven by a misperception of reality in a couple areas,” Reininger said. A lot of opposition has centered on the train bridge nestled between the Roosevelt, U.S. Highway 1, and the Dixie Highway bridges in Stuart. Many in the marine industry say that the proposed 32 passenger trains a day will effectively close the St. Lucie River, which is part of the Okeechobee Waterway, to navigation and pretty well end area sailing. The train bridge sits where the North and South forks meet and pool together heading east. Additionally, a lot of opposition has arisen along the Treasure Coast about All Aboard Florida cutting cities, such as Stuart, in two by making it difficult to

traverse the Florida East Coast Industry rails that run through them. They say it’ll destroy decades of economic-development work. But, the rallying cry that visibly gets Reininger’s goat is the claim that All Aboard Florida is a sham project intended to gain monies for upgrading tracks for additional freight trains. An oft-repeated opposition slogan is “All Aboard Florida is all about freight.” “The common sense of the misperception is a little puzzling,” Reininger said. “It’s illogical to think All Aboard Florida would invest hundreds of millions buying passenger trains and building passenger stations and take on obligations with passenger transit simply to wind up with an improved rail corridor for freight.” Besides that, Reininger said, Florida East Coast Industries can put plenty more freight on the existing rails with no real investment or regulatory hurdles. “The simple reality of it is there is capacity in the corridor today for more freight,” he said. “It’s simply illogical to think all we’re doing is related to freight.” So, when will the Treasure Coast see those passenger cars, if Reininger’s vision of the future holds true? “Depending on the actual date of the conclusion of the environment process, by 2017 we’ll get all the way into the Orlando International Airport,” he said.

against the proposed All Aboard Florida with a great orator’s passion. People cheered. “Big choo-choo thinks they’re going to roll though and there’s nothing we can do,” she said as an angry din arose from the protestors. She continued, vividly describing the harsh effects of 32 additional trains traversing the Treasure Coast daily, until hitting a battle cry minutes later. “We can derail big choo-choo,” Traylor said to cheers. Congressman Patrick Murphy, D-FL-18 took the stage behind Traylor to make clear his opposition to All Aboard Florida. Not so amazing in itself — a congressman speaking at a rally — until one considers that he had signed a letter urging federal regulators to hustle on getting the proposed high-speed rail running. “It was a lot of meetings with a lot of elected officials,” Traylor said in a recent interview. “Congressman Murphy’s office was one of the first I spoke to. They really started to look into the project and they realized that it wasn’t the project they thought it was when he signed the letter.” In less than three months, the group garnered about 11,000 physical and electronic petition signatures against the proposed passenger rail that would cut a
swath through Martin and St. Lucie counties without stopping. That swelled by the end of 2014. “We’re just under 43,000 (signatures),” Traylor said. “I anticipate we’ll be hitting 50,000 before too long.” Before 2014 Traylor was one of many folks who occasionally spoke about various issues during public comment at Martin County Commission meetings. But in 2014 she had a meteoric rise to local fame for her efforts to derail All Aboard Florida. Among Florida Not All Aboard’s accomplishments last year was setting the primary campaign issue for the 18th Congressional District’s Republican primary and general election — who hated All Aboard Florida the most. Indeed, in every Treasure Coast political contest, All Aboard Florida came up, and every political candidate opposed it. Sen. Joe Negron even stood beside Traylor at a press conference to announce his opposition to All Aboard Florida in June. That was happening as the Federal Railroad Administration had All Aboard Florida putting together an Environmental Impact Statement as part of fulfilling its request for an about $1.5 billion Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan.

Traylor said Florida Not All Aboard had numerous other accomplishments to point to in 2014. Not in the least, she said, was that opposition appears to have sent the company into damage control. All Aboard Florida originally anticipated starting partial service in 2014 on its proposed rail service that’d run from downtown Miami to the Orlando International Airport. The 235mile service start year got pushed back, and pushed back. Traylor said that’s likely got much to do with the explosion of opposition on the Treasure Coast last year scaring off investors and slowing down regulators. “The (Federal Railroad Administration) now realizes we have over 40,000 people and elected officials watching the process,” she said. In December, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave All Aboard Florida permission to sell about $1.75 billion in bonds issued through Florida Development Finance Corp. Traylor said the decision felt like a defeat at first. “The private-activity bond coming the Friday before Christmas was disappointing, but when I look at it, I say, ‘Who’s going to buy it?” she said. Traylor said federal agencies
haven’t signed off on the Environmental Impact Statement, and several local governments have raised objections there’s misinformation in the report on points that they were never consulted about, such as traffic counts at railroad crossings. As the New Year launches, Traylor said Florida Not All Aboard intends to continue doing what it did in 2014: talking to anyone and everyone who’ll listen. In addition to making appearances at government, town-hall and homeowner-association meetings, Traylor is going to resume weekly shows on WSTU, 1450 AM, Stuart. “Our focus is we need to keep momentum up with public awareness and public outrage,” Traylor said. “You go out on the streets, and there are people who still don’t know about (All Aboard Florida).” Additionally, Traylor said Florida Not All Aboard is working to get a multi-jurisdiction summit of elected officials in adversely-affected counties together in February or March. “My focus is uniting everybody,” she said. In the end, Traylor said, 2015 looks to be the make-or-break year for All Aboard Florida. She said public pressure against the project will break it. “The most important message is this is not a done deal,” she said.

out of your way or the atmosphere makes you feel uncomfortable, that just adds to your lack of motivation. First of all, find a gym close to home or work. Make sure its hours are compatible with yours. If you like to work out very early in the morning or very late at night and they close early and open late … wrong choice for you! If you try to squeeze in your workouts on the way to or from work and your gym is so overcrowded at that time that you have to wait for every piece of equipment … wrong choice for you! If you like to use the free weight area, but your gym is crawling with giant bodybuilders who monopolize the equipment for hours … wrong choice for you! If you are a middle-aged family man or woman who just wants a friendly, comfortable place to work out and your gym is filled with people who are dressed up, wearing makeup and look like they’ve never broken a sweat … wrong gym for you! My suggestion: ask for a guest pass and try the club out BEFORE you join. In a few days, you will know if you are in a club that will keep you motivated or make you want to stay on the couch!

Here’s the hype: train with this and you’ll have a butt like J. Lo! And here’s the hate: kettlebells are dangerous and surely going to destroy your lower back. Then there’s reality. Will kettlebells give you a great butt? Maybe. Many kettlebell exercises initiate with gluteus maximus (butt) strength. By using an adequately sized kettlebell and committing to a clean diet, most people will be able to lift and tone their glutes.

ANYTIME from page 14 the derrière. However, there’s also a little something called genetics that play more of a part in all of this than most of us would like to admit. So learn to appreciate the body you have and maintain realistic expectations. On the other side of this argument, kettlebells are no more dangerous than any other iron weight in the gym. It’s people who are dangerous when they use kettlebells (or any gym equipment) without proper training. If done properly, kettlebell swings strengthen the posterior chain. We live in a culture obsessed with the glamour side (abs) and often times neglectful of the backside. Because of this imbalance, the core is weak. Kettlebell swings are excellent for strengthening the lower back, and all through the core. If you are weak in the core, your body cannot be powerful. If done properly, with a neutral spine and supported forward flexion, kettlebell swings are actually beneficial for the health of the lower back. If you want to start using kettlebells, my advice is to get some training. Question: Do fad diets work? Answer: In the short term, yes … over the long term, generally, no. Most research shows that fad diets do work, and some of them do
so quite well. The problem is that fad diets are short-term solutions to a long-term problem. They also tend to associate weight loss success with some gimmick when, in actuality, decreased calorie intake is usually the “real” reason for shedding the pounds. So fad diets are effective to a degree, but I don’t know too many people who like losing weight, gaining it back, and then jumping over to the next fad to start the process all over again. The way to lose weight and keep it off is through persistent behavior modification and lifestyle change. My suggestion; Work with a personal trainer to learn how to burn calories effectively and meet with a nutritionist or health coach to learn how to modify your diet for the long term. If you can make this type of commitment, you’ll be successful and able to leave the fad diet books on the store shelves where they belong. Linda Lawrence is the owner of Anytime Fitness in Palm City.

On Christmas morning, while most were nestled all snug in their beds with visions of sugar plums, at The Prawnbroker in Harbor Bay Plaza their annual Christmas routine was well under way. By 6 a.m., Kipp Foster, the Prawnbroker’s owner, and a crew of volunteers were already at work in the kitchen preparing hot meals which would be picked up and delivered by Meals on Wheels. Some of the volunteers were current Prawnbroker employees; some had worked with Foster in the past, but all had come together in good cheer to give generously of their time and culinary skills to provide hot home-style meals for those who would otherwise be without.
At 8, the aroma of Christmas was in the air and the food ready. Other volunteers from the community stepped up in assembly-line fashion to help fill 270 packages with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and all the fixings, steaming with gravy, they were tightly sealed and packed for pickup. Only then did Foster and some of the volunteers take time to stop to take a picture, drink some coffee, and eat the holiday goodies Cari Chauss had baked and brought in for them. This is the 19th consecutive year that Kipp and Cari have made this generous contribution, and over the years they have thanked many of the same volunteers for springing from their beds on Christmas morning and joining them in making it happen.

the Palm City Cookie Ladies and delivered to the two centers by benefit organizer Pat Tiemeyer. The pajamas were given out on Christmas Eve and the children wore them on Christmas morning while opening their other gifts. This is the seventh year that the classes have taken on this project thanks to Jazzercise owner and instructor, Katie Dyer.

Classical violinist performs at Lyric
Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY – At a time when most youngsters are looking for ways to avoid practicing an instrument, violinist Anne Akiko Meyers was giving concerts. “I played with an orchestra when I was 7,” she said in a phone interview from her home in Austin, Texas. “I played a whole violin concerto from memory and I thought, ‘Wow.’ I played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic when I was 11 and won a Young People’s Concert audition at 12 and played with the New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta. It was a rich and productive time.” Indeed. The violinist, now the mother of two young daughters, comes to the Lyric Theatre Jan. 29, bringing with her one of the most famous violins in the world, the 1741 ‘Vieuxtemps’ Guarneri del Gesu.’ It has been loaned to her for her use during her lifetime. The violin replaces one made by Stradivari in 1730 and once owned by the King of Spain. Meyers, who is involved in community outreach to bring classical music to a new generation, began playing when she was 4. “I was drawn to the violin,” she said. “At least, that’s the story. Both my parents played a lot of music, even when my mother was

I joke that every time I’m perform-

The family lived in Southern California, and Meyers studied with sisters Alice and Eleanore Schoenfeld. As she entered her teen years, she wanted something different. “It was time for a change and I played for Josef Gingold at Indiana University,” she said. “He invited me and at 13, my mother, sister and I went to Indiana. I had been on the “Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson twice and the third time, I told him ‘no’ because I was going to Indiana. I’ll always regret telling Johnny Carson ‘no.’” Another of Meyers’ passions is supporting modern composers and commissioning works from them. When she was pregnant with her first daughter, her husband asked composer John Corigliano, with whom she had worked, to compose a lullaby as a surprise. The result was “Lullaby for Natalie,” a work she will perform at the Lyric. “It was a humongous and beautiful surprise,” Meyers said. “He’s such an incredible composer, that he can create that much beauty and drama in three minutes. I did it with the London Symphony. That was how it was meant to be played.” The piece has provided drama in her own family. “My daughter, Natalie, is 4 and she plays it all night long,” Mey-

ers said. “She loves to tell her (younger) sister she has a lullaby.” On her latest recording, Meyers worked with a young composer, Mason Bates, who wrote his first concerto. It was a long time coming. “The reality of getting a work commissioned is that it takes a great effort from those commissioning it,” she said. “It has taken on many lives and it’s polished now. It went through many transformations and I’m lucky to have performed it with the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Chicago Symphony and others. It’s fantastic, one of the greatest to be written in the last 50 years. “There’s a great connection between Samuel Barber, the greatest composer of the previous 50 years, John Corigliano and Mason. Barber was John’s mentor and Mason was a student of John’s at Juilliard. I thrive on projects with living composers. There’s always a work-in-progress as are my musical choices. I love to mix old and traditional with the new.” That’s certainly true for her Lyric concert. She will open the performance with Mozart’s Sonata in A major. “It’s a beautiful way to start a program,” she said. It has one of the greatest melodies. Then I’m doing a beautiful work by Estonian composer Arvo Part. He’s arguably the most performed
living composer on the planet. It has a mystical, meditative quality. Once you hear it, time stands still. You can look inside yourself and be quiet. It’s mesmerizing. He described it as a struggle within all of us of being in the instant and in eternity.” The program becomes darker with Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 1 in F minor. “It’s putting up a mirror and looking deep within yourself,” Meyers said. “It’s dark and brooding. It has famous scales that are supposed to sound like the wind passing through a graveyard. David Oistrakh played it at Prokofiev’s funeral. It’s electrifying and there’s nothing like it. It’s such a privilege to perform that music.” After a break, the program is lighter, with “Natalie’s Lullaby” and a tribute to the Great American Songbook. Among the works are “Summertime,” Someone to Watch over Me” and “Somewhere,” from “West Side Story.” Meyers says that if she does her job, there won’t be a dry eye in the house. I don’t doubt it for a minute. The Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, presents violinist Anne Akiko Meyers Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $40.

Musical celebrates families STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — Jerry Herman has written some big musicals, including the lyrics and music to “Hello Dolly” and “Mame.” In 1982, he took a French play, “La Cage aux Folles,” by Jean Poiret, and turned it into another mega-hit, the musical “La Cage aux Folles.” The original Broadway production won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, written by Harvey Fierstein. It has been revived on Broadway several times, and is the only musical to win a Tony for Best Revival of a Musical twice. It was also the source for the Mike Nichols movie, “The Birdcage,” with Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman. Now StarStruck Theatre presents a professional production of the show, starring Josh Rhett Noble and Doug Jabara, from Jan. 30-Feb.7. For director Jennifer Jones, the show is part of her “Jerry Herman” year. She recently finished a production of “Hello Dolly” with students from StarStruck Academy.
“I love Jerry Herman,” Jones said. “’Hello Dolly’ was a huge success and I was thrilled by the happiness I saw emanating from the audience as they exited the theater. They had a good time and they were tapping their toes. “People got the underlying message of not giving up. People said they felt hopeful and I think part of the point of the theater is to bring people together in a sense of community. When you walk out the theater, it’s changed the way you feel or makes you think about something in a way you hadn’t before. Jerry Herman does a brilliant job of tapping into the human condition.” “La Cage” tells the story of a gay couple, Georges, a night club owner, and Albin, his drag queen partner, and the comedy that ensues when Georges’ son brings his fiancee’s very conservative parents to meet his parents. Still, for Jones, the fact that the couple is gay is only a small part of the story. “’La Cage’ teaches us about love and tolerance,” she said. “It’s about a child who doesn’t totally get the sacrifices that have

Burt Reynolds returns to Lyric Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — The Lyric Theatre has teamed up with the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre for a special night of film and film talk, On Jan. 25, director and film star Burt Reynolds returns to the Lyric for a special screening of his 1976 film “Gator,” followed by a talkback with anecdotes and memories of making that film and its predecessor, “White Lightning.” Reynolds, who has long been involved with theater in the area, made “White Lightning in 1973. The sequel, “Gator,” follows Reynolds, who also directed the film, as Bobby “Gator” McKlusky. A Georgia moonshiner and ex-con, McKlusky uses his fists, cars and anything else at hand to fight for justice. When Dunston County becomes the fiefdom of the ruthless Bama McCall, played by Jerry Reed, Gator and his partner, played by Lauren Hutton, come to the rescue of the good folks of Dunston
County. The film is a favorite of Reynolds fans who love his action movies, and there are enough car chases and kisses to keep the entire audience happy. John Loesser, executive director of the Lyric, said that the Lyric welcomed Reynolds back. “The Lyric Theatre is glad to have Burt Reynolds back for the screening of “Gator” and is looking forward to his talkback about his directorial debut.” A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre. Another cult favorite, “The Big Lebowski,” comes to the Lyric Feb. 7. The 1998 movie that made heroes out of dudes and slackers was directed by the Coen Brothers and stars Jeff Bridges as slacker and bowler Jeffrey ‘The Dude” Lebowski. It is that odd entity, a crime comedy, and is loosely based on the work of Raymond Chandler, with characters trying to unravel a complex mystery. The film has a dream cast that also includes John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston,

of
been made, the depth of time and love that went into raising him. Through the farce and the musical comedy, the child finds the truth about never taking the love of parents for granted and respecting the struggles they’ve gone through. At some point, the child will be a parent. (It’s important to) respect that relationship and the hard work being a parent is.” While all of these underlying messages seem serious, the show is not. “When people see the show, it’s hilarious and very musical comedy to have a drag queen, but the writing is so incredible that you don’t think it’s about two men,” Jones said. “They’ve been together for 20 years and they are dealing with a business and raising a son and meeting the in-laws. It’s the same as any couple.” Jones is flying in Noble, who plays Albin, and Jabara, who plays Georges, from New York. She said that directing two such accomplished performers is an exciting experience and one the audience will enjoy. “Going to a musical like ‘La cage,’ you’re going to get belly-laughs, but when you walk away, you’ll walk away with a message. Jones said that the song “I Am
What I Am,” is one of the reasons she decided to do this show. “For me, as an individual, a woman, a parent, a teacher of the arts, the song is so important to me and for me to teach to my students and spread into our community,” she said. “It’s about growing into the person you’re supposed to be and finding your passion. That’s vital to our happiness and to the collective energy we create as a community and a world. I think it should be an anthem for all children who have been ostracized.” While the talk has turned serious again, the show has not. Jones still has some tricks up her sleeve. ‘Our production will be unique for ‘La Cage’ she said. “My husband (Peter Jones) will be on stage playing the grand piano. A lot of the plot is a show-within-a show and he’ll be on a raised platform. No matter where we are in the show, there will be a piano player. So many other productions use canned music. Ours is unique.”
