Political Who’s Who attend C-44 reservoir groundbreaking

PALM CITY — The Old Palm City Neighborhood Advisory Committee is going to begin monthly meetings. Chuck Smith, the committee’s chairman, announced the more frequent meetings at the last regular quarterly meeting, Monday, Nov. 16. Some committee members wondered aloud if the committee is so hamstrung as to make more frequent meetings meaningless. “I’m befuddled as to what we can do,” Jane Lundrum said at the meeting. In a telephone interview after the meeting, Smith said confusion about what role the county’s seven neighborhood advisory committees will play in the county’s planning in coming months and years is part of the reason for going to monthly meetings. “We’re all curious what way the (Community Redevelopment Agency) direction is going to go, and it’s up in the air,” Smith said. The Community Redevelopment Agency, CRA, and its seven community redevelopment areas have been in flux for several months. On Nov. 20 the former community redevelopment director, Kevin

MARTIN COUNTY — Republicans, Democrats and independents are united in ending discharges of dirty water into the St. Lucie River and, ultimately, the Indian River Lagoon. On Friday, Nov. 20, Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy and Republican State Sen. Joe Negron were among those at the groundbreaking of the Army Corps of Engineers’ C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area in Indiantown. “I think we’ve come together with one step in the right direction,” Murphy said at the groundbreaking. Negron echoed him. “I’m looking forward to the day when we no longer
have to discharge water east and west when we have a rain,” he said at the groundbreaking. Murphy is vacating his seat in the House of Representatives to run for the U.S. Senate. Negron is the State Senate’s presumptive President Elect. Both stood among local Republicans, such as County Commissioner Anne Scott, independents such as Port St. Lucie’s Mayor Greg Oravec, and Obama Administration representatives — such as Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works — to hail construction of the 16.5 billion gallon reservoir and treatment area. The project is part of the larger Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, commonly called CERP.

PALM CITY — Nothing’s better than playing on a Pete and PB Dye designed 18 holes, except for playing it on brand new Celebration Bermuda turf. On Sunday, Nov. 15, dozens of golfers took to the newly renovated River Ridge Course at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club. “We’ve been working on the course since late April,” Tim Cann, director of golf, said. One of the most important features of the $3.4 million renovation is the new grass, which Cann said gives much better lies. “(Celebration) is the most popular grass being planted in the South,” he said. Rod Riley developed the grass. In addition to having a distinctive blue-green color, the grass resists drought, does well in a wide variety of sunlight, and grows more slowly than others. Additionally, the River Ridge has new irrigation and drainage features. At the course’s ribbon cutting,

C-44 RES. from page 1 Much of it is aimed at reducing and eliminating discharges of nitrogen- and prosperous-rich water from Lake Okeechobee into canals leading to the St. Lucie’s South Fork, which runs alongside Palm City, and the Caloosahatchee River, which runs westward from the lake. The nutrient-rich water is blamed for fouling the Indian River Estuary, among others. While the corps’ infamous releases of Lake Okeechobee water make headlines, about 75 percent of the water released through the St. Lucie Lock and Dam at Palm City’s southern end is local basin runoff. In addition to carrying water from Lake Okeechobee, the C-44 also gathers water along its 25 miles from western Martin’s agricultural areas. The Florida Department of Health in Martin County frequently posts health warnings at Charlie Leighton Park, by the Palm City Bridge, about elevated levels of bacteria in the water. While there are many factors affecting the water quality, few doubt that the C-44 is a, or the, major contributor to the South Fork’s problems. And those problems flow under the Roosevelt Bridge, U.S. Highway 1, in Stuart toward the Indian River Lagoon. The corps contract, awarded to a Montana company, involves building a 3,400-acre reservoir
that’ll handle up to 15 feet of water. That’s enough water to keep Niagara Falls going for almost six hours. The iconic waterfall has about 45 million gallons of water flow over it a minute, or about 2.7 billion an hour. 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. The longer water stands the more it settles out pollutants, such as excessive nitrogen and phosphorus. The project will reduce that pollution by about 65 percent, according to Martin County, which owns the land the reservoir is being built upon. “Martin County is very proud to be among the partners in this project,” Commissioner Scott said at the groundbreaking. “The land on which we stand today was purchased by Martin County.” Construction of the reservoir 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. In 2014, the Florida Legislature appropriated $232 million to help with Everglades and Indian River Lagoon restoration. Negron spearheaded efforts to get that funding.
IT’S HERE!!

Maximize the benefits of charitable giving
I
t’s certainly the season for giving – and when you make charitable gifts, you can both give and receive. To get the most out of your gifts, your first step is to make sure you are giving to a worthy charity. That means you’ll need to ask some questions. How does a group measure its effectiveness? And does it use its money wisely? Is it devoting as much of its contributions as possible to the actual work of the organization, or is it spending too much money on administrative costs? Generally, a worthwhile charity should spend at least 75 percent of its income on programs. You may be able to find this type of information in a charitable group’s annual report and on its website. But if you want to dig deeper, and get information from an independent source, you may want to go to the website of one of the agencies that evaluates charitable groups. On these sites, you can get a lot of information dealing with a charity’s effectiveness, income, spending, mission, governance, transparency, executive salaries and other topics. Once you’ve chosen a charity, or charities, you can decide how much you want to give. And
YOUR
Jamie Chapogas your generosity will be rewarded, because your gift to a qualified charitable organization may entitle you to a deduction against your income tax, as long as you itemize deductions. A “qualified” charitable group is one that the government has classified as a tax-exempt organization. Ask your intended charity for information on its tax status. Reputable nonprofits will be more than happy to offer proof. But what if you’d rather not
VIEW
simply give cash to the charitable group? What if you’ve owned some stocks for several years, and the stocks no longer fit your investment needs? Should you sell the stocks and then donate the proceeds to the charitable group? You could – but you’ll likely be better off, from a tax standpoint, by simply donating the appreciated stocks. If you were to sell these stocks, you’d have to pay capital gains taxes. Consequently, your gift to a charity would end up costing you more than just the loss of the asset. But if you directly donate the appreciated stocks to the charity, you’ll get an immediate tax deduction, which is normally worth the property’s fair market value. And, perhaps even more importantly, you’ll avoid any capital gains taxes on the donated stocks’ appreciation. If you’ve held the stocks for a long time, and they’ve increased in value
substantially, these capital gains taxes could be significant. Once you’ve donated the appreciated stocks to the charity, it can decide whether to hold them for a while or sell them immediately. In either case, though, you’ll have no capital gains tax obligation. However you choose to make your gift, be sure to document it. Typically, no deduction is allowed for a contribution of $250 or more unless you have a written confirmation from the charity. Consult with your tax advisor on the specifics of the deductibility of your gifts. Finally, whether you give cash or appreciated assets, you’ll need to make your gift by Dec. 31 if you’re going to deduct it on your 2015 taxes. Charitable giving can benefit everyone. Your gift can help a group whose work you support, while at the same time providing you with potential tax advantages. That’s a win-win situation.

Linda Lawrence Question: Does it matter if I do cardio before lifting or vice versa? It seems like people have differing opinions on this one. Answer: It really depends on your goals and what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re training for an endurance competition, it’s fine to do a short circuit of weights before moving on to a more challenging cardio training session. However, this wouldn’t necessarily be the norm. Most folks typically start off with a light warm-up, then progress to a hard lifting session, followed by some rigorous cardio and a few stretches for flexibility. This is the best sequence to follow if you are trying to lose weight. Plus, if you’ve ever done a strenuous cardio session prior to strength
VIEW
training, you probably realized that most of that much needed energy for lifting was already spent. Thus, you’re left with an inefficient and lackluster lift, making significant strength and size gains more difficult to achieve. Question: I’m a 36-year-old female and I weigh about 200 pounds. I have 3 small children and I have never lost all the weight I put on when I was pregnant. I recently decided to get serious about losing the extra pounds, so I cut my calorie intake to 1,200 calories a day, but I am still not losing the way I thought I would. Am I still eating too much? Answer: If you weigh 200 lbs. and are only eating 1,200 calories, you are not eating enough. That doesn’t mean break out the doughnuts; that means decrease your carbs and increase your protein consumption. To maintain your current weight, a general guide for total caloric intake is your body weight times 10 to 12

Old Palm City septic tanks getting flushed Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — No one argues that septic tanks have got to go. But it’s an expensive proposition, and County Commissioner John Haddox is worried about anyone getting a crappy deal and seeing their home ownership go down the drain. “A family that just replaced a septic system in Old Palm City for $8,000 and they financed it, and now we’re going to go tell them that they’re going to finance again?” he said in a commission meeting. On Nov. 3 the County Commission received a long-awaited report about what it would take to remove about 15,000 septic tanks from the county’s municipal service areas. That includes more than 20 communities. The commission unanimously opted to have staff develop plans for converting the top three hot spots — Old Palm City, Golden Gate in Stuart and North River Shores, Jensen Beach — as soon as possible. Old Palm City, by far, topped the hot-spot list, followed by Golden Gate. Palm City has almost 1,100 septic tanks to remove, according to the report done by Public Resources Management Group. The Florida Department of Health in Martin County frequently posts health warnings at Charlie Leighton Park, by the Palm City Bridge, about elevated levels of fecal-borne bacteria in the St. Lucie River South Fork. Extending existing water and sewer throughout the Old Palm City area will cost about $14 million. There’s already a line running along parts of Southwest Mapp Road and Southwest Martin Downs Boulevard. John Polley, the county’s utilities director, said in an interview that the cost of the conversion to property owners — with a state loan program — is about $11,750 over 20 years. The payments would likely be attached to property taxes. However, Haddox said that the cost of conversion is much higher

“You’re going to get a (monthly) bill for water and sewer. That’s going to be, say, minimum $50 a month. I think there are many home owners in Old Palm City who may not be able to absorb $200 a month extra.” John Haddox than that. He said decommissioning septic tanks isn’t a simple matter of not using them. Haddox said he’s gotten estimates of decommissioning costing possibly hundreds. Additionally, about half the homes in Old Palm City would also get hooked up to the county’s municipal water. All told, Haddox said, many property owners in Old Palm City would be looking at around $18,000 to get water and sewer. Then, he said, they’d start paying for both monthly, along with paying off the forced financed conversion. Haddox said if that comes on top of paying off a relatively new septic system that’s been decommissioned, some property owners may have to sell their homes to look for cheaper digs. “You’re going to get a (monthly) bill for water and sewer,” Haddox said in a telephone interview after the meeting. “That’s going to be, say, minimum $50 a month. I think there are many homeowners in Old Palm City who may not be able to absorb $200 a month extra.” Polley said that survey work for sewer conversion in Palm City could take a year to 18 months. At the earliest, conversion couldn’t start until the middle of 2018.

Nestled among the palm nurseries and bridle paths just west of Citrus Boulevard, is Palm City Equestrians, a 5.5-acre training grounds and stable where horse lovers of all ages take the reins of their passion in hand. Founder Brenda Doneth bathes the sleek gentle Holsteiner giant, Sinatra, while a few riders practice their trot in a nearby ring, monitored by daughter and fellow instructor Robin. “Riding a horse is like dancing with a partner,” Doneth, an avid ballroom dancer, says, explaining that knowing a horse’s personality and natural rhythm is of primary importance to the rider. Palm City Equestrians offers personal as well as group training and hosts year-round camp days for children ages 5 to 15, typically every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A week long Christmas camp runs
from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1. Traditional pedagogy begins with posture technique and gradually progresses through walking and halting, trotting, cantering, and finally jumping. The campers will
get a taste of some riding techniques as well as other important aspects of horsemanship such as stable management, grooming, breed classification, and horse psychology.

FITNESS from page 6 (example: 200 lbs. x 10 = 2,000 calories). You may be thinking this is a lot of food, but it is not. Women have been taught that starving themselves will make them lose weight. In reality, we don’t just want to be smaller, we want to be leaner, right? If you reduce your calories too much, the body will combat under eating by hoarding everything you feed it. Then you jump on a piece of cardio equipment and pedal your little heart out for long periods of time, and still — nothing. Sound familiar? So try this instead: Reduce your total calories by 200-300 per day. Cut your carbs to 30 percent of your calories and make them healthy, complex carbs with lots of fiber. Cut out the sugar, candy, cake, pies, etc. At the same time increase your protein (lean beef, chicken, turkey and fish) to about 60 percent of total calories. And don’t be afraid of fat, but keep it healthy fats, no trans fats. Now, increase your strength training to 30 minutes, 3-5 times per week and don’t overdo the cardio. A little cardio goes a long way. Thirty minutes of vigorous cardio after each strength session should be enough. If you’ve been starving yourself on 1,200 calories, this should be easy — and a lot more effective! Good luck! Question: Is steel-cut oatmeal really better for you than rolled oatmeal? Answer: There is a pretty hot
FAT The Ultimate
BURNING
debate about which oatmeal variety is best. They’re comparable in protein, carbs, fiber, fat, calcium, iron, and nearly equal in sugar. Steel-cut oats have just slightly fewer calories than rolled. They have a much nuttier taste and are chewier, too. You may like that, or you may not. One key fact is that steel-cut oats are less processed, since they are never flattened by heat or pressure. Because they’re bigger pieces, your body takes longer to digest them, longer to convert to sugar, and you feel fuller longer. This prevents your body from those dreaded sugar spikes (and crashes). If you have type two diabetes, then you may want go the extra mile for steel-cut. But, hey, they are both a whole grain, and both reduce and actually remove — bad cholesterol from your heart. Not many foods can do that! Either way, oatmeal is a very healthy breakfast choice. Linda Lawrence is the owner of Anytime Fitness in Palm City.

NAC from page 1 Freeman, left the position. He was the last person working in the community redevelopment office overseeing development and implementation of CRA projects, such as recent proposed work on Mapp Road between Martin Downs Boulevard and Martin Highway. The County Commission nixed that and other proposed CRA projects in May in repeated 3-2 votes. Commissioners Ed Fielding, Sarah Heard and Anne Scott voted against the projects and commissioners John Haddox and Doug Smith voted for them. All were recommended by neighborhood advisory committees. At the Sept. 22 commission meeting, Freeman told the commission that the county’s redevelopment areas have plans crafted in the early 2000s that the redevelopment department is responsible to follow, but the commission — which dismissed and assumed the role of the Community Redevelopment Agency board in 2012 — had failed to fund proposed projects consistent with those plans, throwing the department into confusion. Since summer the so-called Commission Majority — Heard, Fielding and Scott — have progressively moved to make the CRA and redevelopment areas a piece of as yet unmade septic-to-sewer conversion plan. That followed a growing volume on the commission of opposition to the Community Redevelopment Agency. At the heart of much CRA opposition is tax increment financing, TIFF. A portion of regular county property taxes paid in a community redevelopment area is set aside for CRA projects in it. TIFF is based on a formula of increases land values since an area was established. The Old Palm City redevelopment area stretches along Mapp from Martin Downs to All American boulevards, east to the St. Lucie River, with a western extension along Martin Highway to High Meadow Avenue. The redevelopment area was established in 2003 and its TIFF

“The biggest advantage we’re all hoping for is we can continue to be the representatives of the people who live here to let the commissioners know what they want.” Chuck Smith fund has about $1.4 million. The Commission Majority is eyeing using that $1.4 million to help residents in Old Palm City pay for hooking up to the new county sewage service when it’s available. Palm City has almost 1,100 septic tanks to remove, according to the report done by Public Resources Management Group. The commission’s apparent plans to change the role of the community redevelopment areas from working on capital improvement projects to septic-to-sewer have met resistance in the neighborhood advisory committees. Craig Bauzenberger, chairman of the Indiantown Neighborhood Advisory Committee, attended the recent Palm City meeting. “You know better what you need and want then the county (commission) does,” he said. In the telephone interview, Smith said he hopes the more frequent meetings will draw Palm City residents to voice their opinions. “The biggest advantage we’re all hoping for is we can continue to be the representatives of the people who live here to let the commissioners know what they want,” he said. Taryn Kryzda, the county’s administrator, has appointed Kate Parmelee to coordinate with the neighborhood advisory committees. Her title for that role is Community and Strategic Partnerships Manager. The Old Palm City advisory committee meetings will be on the third Monday of every month, 6 p.m., at the Palm City Community Center, 2701 S.W. Cornell Ave., Charlie Leighton Park. The next will be on Dec. 21.

EQUESTRIAN from page 9 the general atmosphere of the camp facilitates a haven where young horse enthusiasts can feel validated and empowered. “The program also instills many life lessons in the students,” Doneth continues, “such as social skills, pride in presentation, and love for another being.” During the season, Doneth will bring students to the Wellington shows, where they are not only able to attend the competitions, but are also given front-row access to the schooling rings where riders warm up, all part of Doneth’s holistic approach to training. Students of Palm City Equestrians regularly compete in local
and regional shows, including the Wellington “A” Circuit and Twin Rivers Saddle Club at the Port St. Lucie Fairgrounds, always with great result. There are also several adult professionals who receive training at Palm City Equestrians. Liz Gamble, a marketing strategist from Las Vegas, began lessons a little over a year ago with some experience. “Brenda helped solidify my foundation and gave me the confidence to compete,” says Gamble. “I just entered my first competition Sunday, and I won two ribbons! They’re great at individualizing the training so that you can go at your own pace.” Doneth came to Palm City in 1997 from Holland, Mich., where she

operated Lakeshore Equestrians. She was attracted to Palm City as a location not far from Wellington where she could operate a yearround facility off the beaten path. Her daughter and she are the two main instructors, and her 3-yearold granddaughter is also an accomplished rider. Whether you’re interested in lessons for your child, lessons for yourself, or a Sunday afternoon meandering along one of the oodles of nearby riding trails, Palm City Equestrians is a community of enthusiastic riders with an unbridled love for nature, the great outdoors, and the exhilaration of the ride.

PALM CITY – The participation and energy of volunteers are what keep most chambers of commerce humming, and the Palm City Chamber has plenty of both, says chamber President Jon Campion. Campion, owner of European Kitchen Sink & Bath Outlet in Stuart, handed out the chamber’s annual awards to its top volunteers at the chamber’s monthly Breakfast With Benefits Nov. 18 at the New Hope Fellowship and High Hopes Preschool on Citrus Boulevard. Business Person of the Year Jeff Teach, president of Teach Wealth Management Inc., said the Palm City chamber “may not be the biggest out there, but it’s one of the friendliest, and they know how to have a good time.” “They’ll bend over backwards to help you,” said Teach, who joined the chamber shortly after starting his business in 2009. “All the special events are plenty of opportunity for people to seek synergies with others.” Ronnie Kirchman, who received the second-annual Michele Radcliffe Dutro Memorial Award, said the chamber “helps my business grow with new leads from meeting other members, both old and new.” The Michele Radcliffe Dutro Memorial Award was established last year to be bestowed on an individual “who is extensively involved and giving of their time and expertise to nonprofit organizations, never looking for recognition for themselves.” Kirchman, president of 44-yearold Kirchman Construction Co., said he stays active not only for business reasons, but because “it’s a friendly, fun chamber where you feel good about yourself and the organization.”
Seacoast Bank was selected Business of the Year for its active participation and support of the Palm City community. Jenny Yingling, Seacoast Bank vice president and senior market manager, said she has been a chamber member for more than 25 years. “Many of my long term business relationships started at a chamber function,” said Yingling, who as current chamber vice president, will take over as president in February. “I can truly say that my business success has been in large part due to my participation with the chamber. Being an active chamber member has allowed me to keep informed on issues affecting our community and the needs serviced by our not for profit organizations.” Volunteer of the Year Robin Hall of Out2News and out2martincounty.com said she participates in the chamber because “I live here, work here and wanted to help the community, and this is my way through the Palm City Chamber.” Business Advocate of the Year Mike Mulleady of Cutting Edge Marketing said, “Service for me is big. I feel good about my partners and the friendships with those partners. It’s a labor of love.” David Guizerix, general manager of Rainbow International Restoration & Cleaning in the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach, was named Ambassador of the Year. “The chamber is our business voice in the community,” Guizerix said. “Working to make chamber events successful provides a way for us to give back and keeps us involved in building a stronger Palm City.” “The ambassador team is a group of caring, hard-working business people who give countless hours to the chamber and other community organizations to make Palm City

PALM CITY — What would the holiday season be without a shoe drive? But a local drive in particular is putting a new spin on it. The Parent-Teachers Association at Bessey Creek Elementary School has partnered with a national fundraising company based in Orlando called Funds2Orgs. The self-dubbed social enterprise, established in April 2013, will buy the shoes from Bessey Creek and then sell them to micro-entrepreneurs in one of 26 developing countries, who then refurbish or clean the shoes to sell them locally for profit. It is estimated that at least 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away every year
in the U.S., about the same number of people worldwide who have no access to shoes. “We help organizations create their own branded shoe drives,” says Wayne Elsey, founder of Funds2Orgs. “We give ongoing consulting, marketing, public relations, and events support materials, and even coordinate, handle, and pay for the shipping. This business model removes the risk of event-based fundraising.” In the future, the company is trying to expand to clothes and cell-phone repurposing as well. For the better part of a month, drive notices have gone home with students at Bessey Creek, members of the PTA have asked colleagues and friends for old shoes, and they have also appealed to a few local businesses, including Gold’s Gym in Stuart. Now they are extending the

TREASURE COAST — For many holiday shoppers, the prospect of dealing with traffic congestion, limited parking, oversized crowds and lengthy checkout lines is just an expected part of the hectic season. Also par for the course is the never-ending sound of the same holiday music standards filling the air as patrons wildly rush from store to store in an effort to check off everything from the wish lists of their loved ones. Although the hustle and bustle may remain the same, the soundscape will dramatically change between the hours of 9:30 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5 as the Treasure Coast Music Teachers Association host their annual Music-Thon inside the Treasure Coast Square Mall at the entrance to Macy’s. Shoppers will be entertained throughout the day by pianists, singers, flutists, guitarists and a choir who will all be introduced by a “Celebrity Emcee” from the local community.

They hope to raise a few thousand dollars, all of which will go toward a planned awning to shelter kids from the elements. Erin Rekowski, head of the PTA, said that the awning was a long overdue priority for them. “Every day, the children are unprotected from the sun during recess. It’s a serious issue in Florida.” In February, the PTA will en-

TREASURE COAST – It’s that most wonderful time of the year, when Sugar Plum Fairies and Dickensian characters come to life. The Sunrise, Lyric and Riverside Theatres and the Kane Center offer several opportunities to see “The Nutcracker,” “A Christmas Carol” or a new production, “The Snow Queen,” this holiday season. A visit to one (or more) of the performances is an ideal activity for the family and is a great early Christmas present. The season opens Dec. 5 at the Sunrise Theatre with the South Florida Dance company’s production of “A Christmas Carol.” Based on the Dickens story, the ballet tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. It is a tale of second chances and of the importance of family and is staged with full costumes, sets and special effects. The Atlantic Coast Ballet presents an original production of “The Snow Queen” at the Lyric Dec. 6. It tells the story of the wicked Snow Queen with a frozen heart and how a small girl uses courage and love to find a cure for that frozen heart. Students of the Dancers Studio,

She received the 2015 Emerald Award for Healthy Living from the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida, the Women with Wings and Wisdom Award from WXEL, the Civic Recognition Award from Wellington and others. Stein enjoys working with children and volunteering to help improve the quality of their lives. The inaugural Music-Thon was held in 1991 at the mall with Frank and Mary Brogan serving with Roger White, Mary Dawson, Mary Shaw and Sebastian Torres as “Celebrity Emcees.” Since then, more than $84,000 has been raised by TCMTA Music-Thons to benefit local charities. “Our first Music-Thon raised more than $6,000,” said Kessler, who owns Stuart School of Music, which has nearly 400 students. “Throughout the years, Music-Thon donations have ranged from $3,000 to $5,000 (per year). Last year, we rose over $5,000, and we hope to match that amount this year.” A few of the other local agencies that have benefitted from money generated from Music-Thons throughout the years include Treasure Coast Hospice, Tykes & Teens and ARC of Martin County. “It’s very gratifying that music can be used to help charities in our community,” said Kessler. “Also,
it’s wonderful to see the smiling faces of the audience and the shoppers who stop by to listen to some of the student performers.” In addition to collecting donations at the event, which is free and open to the public, the performers are also very active in helping to raise funds for HPS in advance of Music-Thon. “Each student has a pledge sheet explaining to prospective donors that they will be performing on stage at the entrance to Macy’s in the Treasure Coast Mall to raise money for charity,” said Kessler. “HPS is described on the pledge sheet. We ask the students to seek donations from their family and friends.” For those unable to attend the event but still wishing to help may write a check payable to Treasure Coast Music Teachers Association and write HPS Music-Thon on the memo line. The check should be mailed to 1608 S. Kanner Hwy., Stuart, 34994. Founded in 1990, Treasure Coast Music Teachers Association strives to advance the value of music study and music making in society and to support the professionalism of music teachers. The organization is affiliated with Florida State Music Teachers Association and Music Teachers National Association. More information is available at www.tcmta.org

Local favorite offers two concerts STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
STUART — Palm City opera singer Lorrianna Colozzo is a favorite of Treasure Coast audiences. The soprano, who received a bachelor’s degree in vocal music from the prestigious Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, will perform two local concerts this season. On Dec. 13, she will present a program of holiday music at the Kane Center and on Jan. 14 she will perform musical standards at the Lyric Theatre. Each is a great place to take out-of-town visitors, and each would make a lovely holiday gift of music. The singer spoke recently about the two very different shows. “At the Kane Center, the show is ‘Life is a Christmas Cabaret,’” she said. “This year, the show is cabaret style, just me and my pianist, Brandon Glick. When they told me they were doing a cabaret series. I said I definitely wanted to do Christmas. The Kane Center is so beautiful. It’s such a unique spot and it’s on a Sunday afternoon, so people can enjoy a matinee of Christmas music.” Colozzo said that choosing the music was a challenge. “I only have an hour,” she said. “I could do a week’s worth. I’m doing holiday tunes introduced by people like Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Jo Stafford and Rosemary Clooney. They’re songs we all grew up with and never tire of, like ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,’ ‘Silver Bells,’ ‘White Christmas’ and many more. There are songs like Connie Francis’ ‘Baby’s First Christmas.’ It’s so beautiful. There’s Rodger and Hammerstein’s’ ‘My Favorite Things,’ that’s popular during Christmas. I found a really cool Rodgers and Hammerstein song that was never part of a show, ‘Happy Christ-

mas, Little Friend.’” Colozzo said that she is the interpreter of the songs and she will also give the backstory of each to put it in context. On Jan. 14, the singer and some of her friends will present “High Standards” at the Lyric Theatre. She will use the same successful formula she used last year for her “Night at the Opera” show at the Lyric, with a mezzo soprano, tenor and baritone joining her on stage. This year’s guests are Graham Fandrei, Rebekah Diaz-Fandrei and James Channing. “For ‘High Standards,’ we bring out some of the old standards, songs you know and love from Broadway and timeless classics from The Great American Songbook,” she said. “They are songs that have stood the test of time, like ‘Some Enchanted Evening,’ ‘If I Loved You,’ ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ and ‘Unforgettable.’ We only have an hour and there’s so much music. That’s the fun part of being an artist, deciding which songs we love and can portray.” Given Colozzo’s operatic background, some pieces that skim the line between musical theater and opera, may find themselves in the mix. “From Gershwin, we’ll sing something from ‘Porgy and Bess,’ like ‘Summertime,’ she said. “’Carousel’ is also operatic. There might also be some surprises.” Colozzo had one for me. She said audiences were going to get a plus one on stage when she appears. She is pregnant with her second child and is due in March. “I’m so excited to be able to be doing these shows while pregnant, even if I have to look for larger dress sizes,” she said. “I am blessed.”

We were able to give (Martin County Veterans Service Office supervisor) Tony Reese a check for $17,500.” Last year the Vietnam Veterans of America’s Chapter 1041 had an idea. What if the Martin County Veterans Service Office supervisor, Reese, had a pot of money to help cash-strapped veterans?

The guys at VVA 1041 just didn’t like the thought of hungry veterans waiting for Reese to get a hold of people for help. So, they told him about their idea: a rapid-response fund that he could tap immediately. Reese thought the upstart chapter meant $500, $1,000. After all, it had maybe 70 some members, right? He said getting a $17,500 rapid-response account bowled him over. “It makes my job 10 times easier,” he said. “I don’t have to think how to get (a veteran in need) help. I can
