County commission reconsiders CRA Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — “(Neighborhood advisory committees) and (community redevelopment areas — they have a target on their back.” Commissioner John Haddox minces no words about the County Commission’s relationship with the Community Redevelopment Agency, CRA, and its neighborhood advisory committees, NACs. Advisory committee members, who must meet certain residency or property-ownership qualifications, are appointed by commissioners. Nevertheless— “They’ve devalued their voices and opinions,” Haddox added. “Government is supposed to do the opposite. We’re supposed to foster community participation.” At the center of an ongoing mêlée between supporters and opponents of the county’s Community
Redevelopment Agency is Southwest Mapp Road and the 12-yearold Mapp Road Town Center Design — a proposed New Urbanism design for a pedestrian-friendly downtownesque area from Southwest Martin Highway to Southwest Martin Downs Boulevard. Haddox is a staunch supporter of getting the Mapp Road Town Center Design done over time. In recent months, a political war has developed between CRA supporters and opponents. The battle has been a mostly deadlocked trench combat for months with no apparent decisive turns. Since the current slate of commissioners were seated in 2012, what’s often called “the Commission majority” — commissioners Sarah Heard, Ed Fielding and Anne Scott — have been, at times, openly antagonistic toward the Community Redevelopment Agency’s history and community redevelopment area projects. They’ve often citing Mar-

MARTIN COUNTY — Water flowing into the St. Lucie’s South Fork will get a bit cleaner by the start of the next decade. Earlier this month the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a nearly $200 million contract to get the long-anticipated C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area built.
County Commissioner John Haddox said it’s great news for Palm City. “The South Fork is definitely affected by the releases,” he said. Haddox added, “We’re making some headway. I think that’s positive.” The C-44 lets into the St. Lucie’s South Fork at Palm City’s southern end. The water flows northward through the Veterans

MARTIN COUNTY — County Commissioner John Haddox, Palm City, hopes to leave two lasting legacies when he leaves office: creation of the Martin County Citizens Budget Advisory Committee, and a significant reduction in the county’s infamous infrastructure-maintenance backlog, now estimated at $260 million and escalating by about $1 million a month. ‘”Instead of calling for tax increases, let’s call upon our citizens to help,” Haddox said at the commission’s final fiscal year 2015-2016 budget hearing — Tuesday, Sept. 22. Haddox and Commissioner Doug Smith voted against raising the county’s property-tax rate, and against a slightly larger budget than this fiscal year’s to accompany the property-tax increase. Commissioner Anne Scott voted for both, but only after inadvertently creating a crisis at the first tentative budget hearing on Sept. 9. At that meeting, Scott voted with commissioners Ed Fielding and Sarah Heard to approve the

Vet loves creatures large and small Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY – Dr. April Romagnano has patients with two legs, four legs and eight legs. The veterinarian is a board certified avian specialist with a special interest in exotics and reptiles. She has treated snakes, tarantulas and tigers. She and her husband, Dr. Scott Martin, recently spayed a tiger named Asha at South Fork High School as part of the school’s veterinary assisting program. The couple’s two sons are in the program. Dr. Romagnano’s love affair with birds began as a teen, when she had an exotic bird as a pet. She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Florida and completed a residency in avian medicine and surgery at North Carolina State. She has a doctoral degree in reproduction from the veterinary school at the University of Montreal and has worked in zoos, universities and research centers. She has taught an avian surgery course to veterinary students at the University of Florida since 1996. She and Dr. Martin founded the Animal Health Clinic in Jupiter in 2001 and Dr. Romagnano founded the Avian & Exotic Clinic in Palm City in 2011. Both are certified by the American Animal Hospital Association; the Avian & Exotic Clinic is also certified as a referral clinic for its specialization.
The two often operate on lions and tigers and are frequently called by the Central Florida Animal Rescue, a big cat and wildlife sanctuary and by Tigerhomes, a privately-run exotic animal sanctuary that educates the public about conservation with online webcams. Dr. Romagnano said that birds are typically treated for cancers or trauma, including broken wings and legs and injuries from flying into windows and hitting ceiling fans. Operating on them presents several challenges. “Birds are very small,” Dr. Romagnano said. “They have complex respiratory systems and you have to make sure they are oxygenated. They are efficient users of oxygen, and, unfortunately, of toxins in the environment. It’s important to monitor them closely. You can’t have excess blood loss. We do it safely every day.” The vet takes issue with the term “bird brain.” “Birds are extremely intelligent,” she said. “African greys are as intelligent as a five-year-old child. They remember a large number of shapes and colors and can ask for what they want to eat. The brain is large in proportion to its size, especially in parrots.” Dr. Romagnano and Dr. Martin met when Dr. Romagnano was a

If a good, old-fashioned Country Picnic requires a little BBQ, rest assured that this essential menu item will be filled quite capably by the skilled Martin County Sheriff’s Grill Team, back by popular demand. Besides BBQ, they will be serving up burgers and hot dogs. Food will be provided by Sysco. “In May, we celebrated our 15th anniversary,” said Vannucci of ERAF. “We brought in the food and they brought out their big grill and did all the cooking. It’s nice to have them on the property and mingling with the crowd.” Have a sweet tooth? Volunteers from both agencies have been charged with providing items for a Bake Sale for those craving sweets and other delights. “We hope that our neighbors will bring their families and stop by to meet us and our horses, enjoy the many activities we have planned and learn about our programs,” said Vannucci. “It will be a nice day in the country.” The Equine Rescue and Adoption Foundation is a non-profit agency devoted to the rescue, retrain-
didn’t have a venue. So this will be the first time that it will be a joint venture. We are very excited about pooling together our ideas and talents for this event.” Vannucci explained that the ERAF and the PCFTA share other things in common aside from planning this day-long event. “Both organizations are totally dependent on donations and running them is quite costly,” she said. “For us, getting our horses back to where they should be (health-wise) costs a lot of money. Any profits raised will go towards the operating funds for each agency.” Funds will be generated in a variety of ways, including through Chinese and silent auctions and raffles. Among others, Stuart artist Kate Wood has donated one of her oil paintings that has been valued at more than $1000 for the silent auction. Not to be left out, children will also have chances to win youth-themed auction items and souvenir t-shirts and drinking glasses commemorating the event will be for sale.

CRA from page 1 tin’s $260 million maintenance backlog and need to get septic tanks replaced with sewer lines as reasons for nixing proposed CRA projects. But they’ve never overtly moved to eliminate the CRA. At its regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 22, the commission might have inched toward a resolution to the CRA war. Keven Freeman, the county’s community redevelopment director, told the commission that the county’s seven community redevelopment areas have long-established plans that the community redevelopment department is responsible to follow, but the commission — which dismissed and assumed the role of the Community Redevelopment Agency board in 2012 — has failed to fund proposed projects consistent with those plans. He said that’s creating confusion about how the department should proceed with community redevelopment. “Please provide us with a distinct policy direction,” he told the commission. Among redevelopment-area projects the county commission scratched in 3-2 votes was proposed initial work for the Mapp Road Town Center Design. The first proposed CRA project for Palm City was to resurface Mapp, add bike lanes from Martin to Martin Downs, improve swales to reduce flooding east of the roadway, and lay an infra-
structure foundation for the latest version of the Mapp Road Town Center Design, which, among other things, would add access lanes at some areas for on-street parking. The price tag for the proposed initial project was about $1.3 million. The proposed project evolved through the Old Palm City Neighborhood Advisory Committee, which unanimously supported recommending its funding to the commission acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency. Nevertheless, the commission eliminated it from the county’s capital improvement plan in May. In a twist of events, the county’s engineering department took a scaled-down version of the same project to the commission a few months later. The engineering department’s proposal included resurfacing and adding bike lanes to Mapp Road, but nothing else. The same three commissioners who voted against the proposed CRA Mapp project — Heard, Fielding and Scott—voted for the engineering department’s version. Commissioners Doug Smith and Haddox, who’d supported the proposed CRA project voted against the engineering department’s, citing a lack of swale work worsening flooding issues in Old Palm City. At the recent meeting, the commission directed Freeman to select up to five infrastructure projects in each of the county’s seven community redevelopment areas that are “consistent with the (commission’s) priorities.”

Working closely with Sheriff’s Departments and Animal Care and Control Departments, they help to identify these horses and remove them from dangerous and potentially lethal environments. Professional providers, supporters and volunteers work to rehabilitate and care for the horses to bring them to a healthy and socialized state. The Palm City Farms Trail Association is an organization focusing on maintaining, reclaiming, and protecting the Palm City Farms Trail System, a unique gift to resident users such as cyclists, hikers, dog walkers, runners, nature
watchers, as well as equestrians. There are 130-plus miles of public trails throughout Palm City. PCFTA member Debra Purves, of Palm City, has played a lead role in pulling this event together and is thrilled that the two agencies were able to collaborate. “It’s a win-win,” said Purves, also a self-proclaimed and vocal advocate of ERAF. “They need help to feed their majestic animals. We need help getting the word out. Everything lined up for this event to happen.” Admission to the Country Picnic and Festival is free and the public is invited to attend. Event goers are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets for a guaranteed good seat. For more information, call 772631-6688 or 772-220-0150.

Additionally, the corps is constructing 9.4 miles of perimeter canals with 50-foot spillways to transmit surface runoff to the reservoir, among other things including box culverts to allow vehicles to cross the canals. Construction is slated to start late this year, or early next year, and continue until 2020. In a press release, the corps said the project will work in tandem with
water quality projects the state is doing. “The reservoir is the largest component of the C-44 project and a key storage component of the entire Indian River Lagoon-South project,” Orlando Ramos-Gines, Jacksonville District Senior Project Manager, said in the release. “Getting this contract awarded is a major step forward towards being able to store local basin-run-off and improve conditions in the St. Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon.”

the country so far this year, Glass Leighton underscored that the leading cause was gunfire. She also touched on controversies involving law enforcement conduct. “In every profession there are people who act inappropriately and abuse the public trust. In such incidents, investigations are warranted,” she said. “Such investigations should be thorough and uncompromising in the pursuit of justice.” But too often nowadays, she said, while the investigations are ongoing law enforcement is denied the benefit of the doubt by the press, members of the public and even some high-ranking politicians. “We’ve seen tragedies exploited and communities divided,” she said. “And all the while, elected officials in the highest offices stand silently by. The message this communicates is that respect for the role and sacrifices of law enforcement really isn’t that important. “We stand with our law enforcement officers,” she continued. “We greatly appreciate all they do and most importantly, we are thankful for all they stand ready and willing to do on our behalf. Paul Nicoletti, Stuart city manager, had a deep personal motivation when putting the event together. “Speaking as a public official and also the father of a law-en-

Patrick Murphy provided supporting comments through an aide. Joining Stuart Police Chief David Dyess and Jupiter Island Public Safety Director Bob Garlo was Martin County Commissioner and Palm City representative John Haddox. Also on hand were Martin County School Superintendent Laurie Gaylord, Vicki Davis, elections supervisor, Ruth Pietruszewski, tax collector, Sewall’s Point Mayor Paul Luger, Jupiter Island Town Commissioner Peter Conze and scores of senior staff members from across the county. The proclamation was signed by Glass Leighton, Jupiter Island Mayor Whitney D. Pidot, Luger and Ocean Breeze Mayor David Myers and Ann Kagdis, council president of the Town of Ocean Breeze.

VET from page 6 ed to be spayed. For animals in collections, it is important for the safety of all the animals and is also better for the individual cat. “Spaying keeps her healthy,” Dr. Romagnano said. They get uterine infections and breast cancer. You remove those problems.” They decide to take Asha to South Fork so that students could watch at least a part of the one-hour surgery. Asha was under general anesthesia the entire time. The doctors are big supporters of the veterinary assisting pro-
gram at South Fork and serve on its advisory council. The Avian & Exotic Clinic also adopts a class every year and brings other companies to talk about aspects of veterinary care and practice. They believe it is important for all the students to have the opportunity to see what they do. “The program has children from all walks of life,” Dr. Romagnano said. “They have to have community hours to pass the program. Some don’t have transportation. When we take animals to the school, it qualifies all students to get community hours.” Sons Kian and Aidan are both members of the program and
Kian is looking into the University of Mississippi’s program. It’s his dad’s alma mater and it has a highly selective program that admits bright students straight out of high school. They complete an undergraduate degree in three years and go right into veterinary school. Kian has already had a pre-interview and will be applying for the Early Entrance program. Aidan, in 9th grade, is also interested, but his mom said that he loves music, as well. While the vets operate on exotics and birds, they also see and love dogs and cats and bunnies and ferrets. I couldn’t resist asking Dr. Ro-
magnano what causes tarantulas and snakes to come to the vet. “Tarantulas have habitat issues,” she said. “They get fungus and bacteria from too moist an environment. I see snakes when they are fed inappropriately. If the rat is large and the snake small, the food attacks and eats them.” Who knew? The Avian & Exotic Clinic of Palm City is located at 4181 S.W.

“Because patient care should always come first”
the county’s property owners. But, the county wouldn’t have had a budget to spend it on. At a special meeting to resolve the conflict on Sept. 16, Scott switched her tentative budget vote, as did Haddox. In a telephone interview after that meeting, Haddox said he was convinced an unpalatable tax rate and budget were better than hamstrung government venturing into a hazardous unknown. The state has mechanisms for assuming budget power from counties that are severely financially distressed that the County Attorney, Michael Durham, said would likely have been fitted into Martin’s potentially unique situation of having enough money, but not a budget to spend it. Haddox said he had no way of knowing whether Scott would switch her tentative tax-rate and budget votes before they were taken, so he voted safe, rather than face voting sorry Before Scott switched her votes at the special meeting, she said the real, or imagined, threat of the state government intervening if the commission couldn’t reconcile the conflicting votes worried her. “I will vote for (this budget) tonight, because a shutdown, furloughs, is a less attractive option,” she said. “But, this is not what we were elected to do. We need to pull (the budget) apart and understand it.” At the first and second tentative budget meetings, Scott, who appeared by telephone at both, said she’s frustrated by insufficient answers from staff about how the budget works. Scott has repeatedly said she’d like an outside consultant to examine the budget for recommended cuts. “How many things are there in this budget that just got in there over the years and now are set in stone?” Scott said at the Sept. 16 special meeting. In a telephone interview after the final budget hearing, Haddox said he agrees with Scott’s central point — government budgets are

ing the dedicated members of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, the Stuart Police Department, the Sewall’s Point Police Department; and the Jupiter Island Public Safety Department; and WHEREAS, Nearly 58,000 assaults against law enforcement officers are reported each year in the United States, resulting in approximately 15,000 injuries and 200 officer deaths in the line of duty; and WHEREAS, In light of recent negativity directed toward law enforcement officers nationally, there is a great need to show law enforcement officers that our citizens support and recognize the difficult careers they have chosen,
www.YourVoiceWeekly.com abstruse and commissioners need more than just staff explaining proposed tax and spending rates to them. However, he’s averse to spending even more money on consultants. “We have enough local expertise to do that same thing, maybe for free,” Haddox said. Creation of the advisory committee would require three commissioners agreeing. A similar proposal in Port St. Lucie went down in a 4-1 vote earlier this year. Mayor Greg Oravec created his own informal budget advisory group by advertising for resumes on Facebook. That was on July 19. Oravec has been the lone holdout against Port St. Lucie raising its property taxes and budget. Haddox said a citizen’s budget advisory committee could include members who work for the county’s municipalities — Stuart, Sewall’s Point, Jupiter Island and Ocean Breeze — and have experience with government budgets, along with accountants and others from the private sector. He said that a citizen committee could give taxpayers second opinions on taxes and budgets they’d be more likely to trust than the county staff’s. “People don’t trust the federal government,” he said. “People don’t trust the state government. That filters down to county government.” Additionally, he said a citizens committee, not being beholden to county traditions, could help staff see potential savings to write into proposed budgets. He said the committee could start by examining the maintenance backlog to see if it includes items that can be removed, or reserved for much later. “That’s something the committee needs to look at is the amount of the actual backlog,” he said. At press time Haddox hasn’t declared whether he’ll run for reelection in 2016. If he opts to vacate the commission seat after this term, he’ll have another 13 months to get the proposed committee approved by the commission. as they protect and serve all NOW, THEREFORE, I, David Myers, Mayor, and I, Ann Kagdis, Council President of the Town of Ocean Breeze, AND I, Paul Luger, Mayor of the Town of Sewall’s Point, AND I, Whitney D. Pidot, Mayor the Town of Jupiter Island, AND I, Kelli Glass Leighton, Mayor of the City of Stuart, Florida, do hereby proclaim September 19, 2015, as Thank A Law Enforcement Officer Day in our respective jurisdictions, and we DO HEREBY PRESENT this Proclamation to the Honorable Sheriff William D. Snyder, encouraging all citizens to show support of law enforcement officers by publicly thanking a Deputy Sheriff, Public Safety Officer or Police Officer on “Thank A Law Enforcement Officer Day.”

41 aster Jeweler and Gemologist Terry Rieger’s 41 year career had an unusual beginning. As a traditional artist in her early 20’s, Terry’s culinary hobby provided an additional outlet for display of her artistic talent. She delighted in designing confectionery masterpieces. If she wasn’t creating exquisitely decorated wedding cakes for friends and family, she was sculpting whimsical, mouthwatering candies, or designing sugar Easter eggs The occupants of those windowed eggs were meticulously detailed, right down to microscopic whiskers on the tiny Easter bunnies. One of those Easter eggs, a gift to a family friend, is responsible for launching her lifelong career in jewelry. The family friend was a jeweler, and so taken with her artistry was he, that he insisted her designs must be produced in gold. Her mentor, refusing to take no for an answer, arranged for a full compliment of jewelers tools to be delivered, and arranged for her to be first and only student even tutored by noted Russian jeweler Constance Osmanski. Terry found herself commuting back and forth to Europe for the next twelve years, studying and perfecting her craft in London’s famed diamond quarter, Hatton Garden.

t’s already October -- this year sure has gone cruising by. Snook season opened on the first of the month and is off to a great start. Many anglers consider the fall season the most ideal time of year to get a keeper fish. Post spawn Snook are chewing, all you have to do is get off the couch and get out there. The beaches have come alive with an abundance of bait including mullet, pilchards, minnows, croakers and threadfins. Offshore anglers are finding a great dolphin bite, and it’s a good thing gas prices are down because they’ve been a long way out. Snapper, trout, tripletail, redfish, jacks, and ladyfish have all been bending rods on the flats of the Indian River. It has been a hot summer out there; fortunately the fishing has been as hot as the weather. There is no better place for an on-foot angler than the beach right now, if you don’t have a boat and want a chance to tangle with some big fish, your feet need to be on the sand in the morning. Big

St. Lucie Doctor goes ‘concierge’
Fix-Up
Lisa Barry
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST – Dr. Ira Pearlstine has been practicing family medicine in St. Lucie County since 1987, but changes in healthcare and insurance policies have prompted him to take a different approach to family medicine. On October 1, Dr. Pearlstine will open his new office doors and launch his “direct patient care” or “doctor concierge” business dubbed “Preserve Heath MD.” Now, instead of squeezing in 30 to 40 patients per day, Dr. Pearlstine will offer top-notch, roundthe-clock, affordable care to no more than 350 patients per year. What will it cost patients for an all-access pass to Dr. Pearlstine? About $1,800 per year, per adult, which can be paid in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments. That membership fee covers a bundle of services that insurance generally does not cover. “There is no charge for anything that I do in the office using my hands and my brain,” Dr. Pearlstine said. Dr. Pearlstine’s nurse, Patty Guzman, LPN, is a testament to the power of a personally-connected doctor. Prior to joining Pearlstine’s practice, Guzman worked for a concierge doctor, who was also her family doctor, in Stuart for 24 years. That doctor has since relocated to the Boston area. “He knew me as a patient,” Guzman said. When a pain in her back began to transform and move, her doctor already had the personal knowledge and background information at his fingertips that helped him diagnose an aneurism.

Dr. Ira Pearlstine “I wasn’t sick,” Guzman said. “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be living today,” she added. “Uniquely personal care” is the tagline Dr. Pearlstine has attached to his new practice for good reason. With less than 350 patients, he intends to keep track of each and every one of them. He will be able to recall patient symptoms, history and habits from his recent memory instead of having to ruffle through stacks of paperwork of patients he has not seen in months or years. “I’m trying to attract three groups of people,” Dr. Pearlstine said. The first group, is people who “want good healthcare, who want access to their doctor, people who want their doctor in their back pocket so to speak,” Dr. Pearlstine said. To make sure he fits the “doctor in the back pocket” bill, Dr. Pearlstine is making himself available to clients 24 hours per day. Even though his office hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., he will extend hours to fit clients’ schedules and make house calls

We have even heard of a few pompano around, there have also been quite a few palometas which many mistake for a Pompano or permit. The palometa is in the same family but does not grow nearly as big as the pompano with the world record being only 1lb 3oz. Vertical dark bars and long rays of the dorsal and anal fin make this fish easy to distinguish from the rest, food value is excellent but at an average of 10 ounces you’re going to need to catch quite a few. Last, lets everyone leave the beach better than we found it. We have the most free beach access of anywhere on the east coast, not trashing it will help keep it that way. Offshore, in more than 1000 feet of water is holding all the dolphin you want. That water depth can be found roughly 18 – 20 miles offshore of the St. Lucie inlet and well worth the run as of late. Westerly winds have played a part in pushing the mats of grass further offshore; don’t stop unless you see something worth fishing. For those of you that don’t want to burn the fuel, fishing in 60’- 80’ has yielded Sailfish, Kings, and of course the drag screaming Bonita. Live bait has been plentiful south of the inlet and on the beach. Anglers chasing the Dolphin bite

should have a variety of feathers, jigs, ballyhoo and live baits. Bringing some light tackle rods to pitch to the smaller fish makes for a lot of fun, although we have seen dolphin this week over the 40-lb mark so watch where you pitch that jig or you might never see it again. The Indian River has been active early; soft plastics of all sorts will make for fun on light tackle. Tarpon have been around Little Mud Creek and all over the bridges at first light, live baits, top water plugs, and DOA Terror Eyz are your best bet for a bite. Live shrimp fished on jig heads and corks throughout the docks on the west side of the river have produced black drum, redfish, Sheepshead, snapper and small grouper. Use the trolling motor to work your way along the docks, leave no piling unfished. The bridges have made for a great early morning/middle of the night Snook and Tarpon fishing. Large schools of Bunker, Mullet, and pilchards have been moving through with the tides, timing is everything in this sport. Snook Nook opened in 1982 as a family business. Freddie grew up in the business and fishing the Treasure Coast area. Presently, the Snook Nook crew reports on a radio show on WZZR on Saturday morning from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. called The Fishing Report.

when necessary. Once his assistant leaves the office for the day, all calls are forwarded directly to Dr. Pearlstine’s cell phone, and he answers. The second group of people Dr. Pearlstine aims to cater to is the sick. “I have some patients I’ll probably be seeing a couple times per week,” Dr. Pearlstine said. People who need regular, consistent and continued care are often plagued with a long list of doctors and specialists that tend to them throughout the year. These people often require frequent trips into the doctor’s office or hospital, and there can be holes in health insurance that leave them paying for necessary treatment, consultation and aid that Dr. Pearlstine will deliver in his package deal. Finally, Dr. Pearlstine hopes to attract a group of young people and young families, just “starting out.” As healthcare and insurance policies continue to evolve and often elude and confuse patients, Dr. Pearlstine thinks he has found the answer many people are looking for. “I will see my patients more often which will reduce the need for urgent care and possibly specialty care when I catch things early,” Dr. Pearlstine said. Further, time spent in the waiting room will be reduced to almost nothing, unless the patient prefers to grab a cup of complimentary coffee or tea before beginning the appointment. In case of an emergency, he will call ahead to the hospital. When multiple specialists are required to treat a person, he will coordinate between them to save the patient the headache and hassle attached to all the phone calls and appointments. If a patient needs advice on an over-thecounter drug from a pharmacy floor, Dr. Pearlstine will be a phone call away. If a patient is away at college or on vacation, he will consult via video chat. The
“I will see my patients more often which will reduce the need for urgent care and possibly specialty care when I catch things early.” Dr. Ira Pearlstine list goes on and on. For now, the doctor is all-in on this business with the help of a single nurse and one administrative assistant. There are no other mid-level providers to help him deliver services sans one doctor that will fill in as needed on the occasion Dr. Pearlstine is out of town. No matter where the doctor is, or when the call comes in, he will be the one in direct contact with the patient. “In order to do this, you have to be available, you have to have a good attitude about it, and you have to offer patients something above and beyond what they get in a standard medical office,” Dr. Pearlstine said. “That’s part of that ‘uniquely personal care’ I’m promoting. I’m looking to make your doctor visit a pleasant experience.” Though Dr. Pearlstine’s list of services offered in the $1,800 package is extensive, he encourages patients to sign up for some other form of healthcare to help cover things like vaccines and lab work. A catastrophic plan of some sort is also necessary because “we are all just one hospitalization away from bankruptcy,” Dr. Pearlstine said. “I really believe this type of medicine works,” Guzman said. Even though it will be an added expense, Guzman said, “you have to put your priorities in order.” Dr. Pearlstine’s office is located at 561 NW Lake Whitney Place Suite 104, Port St. Lucie FL 34986. He is currently signing up patients as far north as Vero Beach and as far south as Hutchinson Island. For more information, call (772) 252-1425 or email info@PreserveHealthMD. com.

Lyric favorite returns with friends Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
STUART – Tenor Michael Amante has had an unusual career path. He worked for many years as a youth crisis intervention counselor and also had a successful career as a graphic designer at Ernst & Young. Still, the singer, a Lyric Theatre favorite, has always loved to sing. “I started singing from as far back as I can remember,” he said. “I went to Catholic School and I was one of the few boys willing to open his mouth and sing. The nuns loved me and cast me in everything they did.” Amante brings his tenor voice and three friends, a soprano, an alto and a baritone, to the Lyric Theatre Oct. 17 for two shows. He spoke recently from his home in Vero Beach about his career and this new show. Amante got his first recording contract in 2001. “I was at Rao’s Italian eatery, a place the mob had an affinity for” he said. “Through bizarre
OSevlf Seervre W7ines0
circumstances, I sang for (record producer) Sonny Grosso. Charles Koppelman of EMI said, “Give that kid a record deal.’ I was off to Toronto and recorded an album.” Amante’s debut album of classical songs and arias made him Number One on Billboard’s classical charts in 2002. Not long after that, he was able to quit his day job. Amante said that each of his shows is different. “I grew up watching Tom Jones, and, of course, Dean Martin, Sergio Franchi, Sinatra. They were all variety acts and they influenced me. I heard different
kinds of songs out of one voice.” The new show, with his friends, was an idea he’d had for a long time. He and his friend, Filippo Voltaggio, came up with the idea of a show, “The Good The Bad and The Ugly.” Voltaggio, a radio host in California, couldn’t come out East to perform, but Amante still pitched the idea to John Loesser, artistic director at the Lyric. He was enthusiastic, but changed the name to “The Good, The Bad and The Tenor.” “This show is less about me and more about the voice,” he

said. “Growing up, I listened to lots of Eagles, Seals & Crofts and Journey. They had beautiful harmonies and I wanted to base the show on beautiful harmonies. It’s largely duets and four-part harmonies. Everyone has a solo. There is Broadway and there are classical numbers. We sing ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s my Brother’ and ‘Love Will Keep Us Alive’ by the Eagles.’” Amante is looking forward to his Lyric return. “The Lyric is kind of like a cabaret,” he said. “That makes it fun. The staff is fabulous and John is nice and supportive. It’s a great place to try new things.” In the new show, Amante will sing, but he will also introduce the singers and songs and tie it together. That pleases him. “The audience is family,” he said. “I get to talk to you.” Amante wouldn’t say which of the performers qualified as The Good, The Bad or The Ugly. “That’s up to the audience,” he said. Michael Amante and Friends present “The Good, The Bad and The Tenor at the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Blvd, Stuart, Oct. 17 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $37.

I am a darling 4-1/2 year-old Domestic Shorthair lapcat. At 7 lbs., I am a “purrdy” gal who loves affection and will tell you so while purring sweet nothings in your ear.
Mittens I am an adorable 10 month old Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle sweetie-pie.. Full of 66 pounds of energy, I am a bit rambunctious so I will need assistance with my manners. Attention, belly rubs and playing I so enjoy. Although I am not fond of being left alone and loud noises, you will be impress with my talents of “sit’ and “lay’ especially when “treats” are offered.
