Horse soccer comes to Palm City Patrick McCallister Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — Horse soccer has trotted into Martin County. “I tried it in Georgia,” Karen Rayside, organizer of the first known game in Palm City, said. “My husband and I just loved it.” That game was on Sunday, Feb. 16. It attracted seven players, including a 9- and a 12-yearold. Equine, or horse, soccer is basically a variation of pushball. Only it’s done with horses. Two three-member teams of horses and riders aim to get a 40-inch ball past each others’ goal posts. Easy, right? “You try to get your horse to dribble down the field,” Rayside said. “It’s not easy.” Oh, and similarly to the nohands rule in human soccer, in horse soccer humans are prohibited from touching the ball in any way. There’s another hard-andfast rule. “You’re not allowed to use whips or crops,” Rayside said. Player Judy Vlasaty said there’s only one reason she showed up to

The committee unanimously agreed to recommend that the Martin County Commission acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency adopt the proposed design. Kevin Freeman, Martin County’s community development director, said that with the com-
mittee’s nod in hand work could begin in 2015. Before the vote, committee chairman Chuck Smith said he was taken aback by the proposed design. “Four months ago we sat here with a totally different idea,” he told Freeman during the meeting. “What happened to that idea?” Freeman said much of the new proposed roadway design uses

Sculptor inspired by materials from the sea Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — Sculptor Timothy Trout spent many years as a commercial fisherman off the Maryland shore. A fascination with the effects of the sea on materials around it help inspired his art. “I’ve always been attracted to the patina of weathering and aging,” he said. “Being near the sea was fascinating. As a commercial fisherman, I ran into brass, bronze and copper parts from munitions that were dumped. I began making ‘sea brass jewelry,’ which is my term for reclaimed artillery shells I make into necklaces, earrings, bracelets and whatever the material pushed me toward.” Trout arrive on the Treasure Coast in January 2012. In addition to the jewelry, he sculpts fish, birds and marine life, either as specific species or in abstract. He brought a large supply of materials with him, but clients also bring him brass and other metals Trout works for another artist in a metal shop in Palm Beach, but his goal is his own gallery and studio for his business, Thought to Wrought. While he studied art
in school he is largely self-taught, although he has taken a fabrication class to work with certain tools and a class in silver soldering. “Everything else is trial and error,” he said. “It’s reading and putting the hammer to work. He says that each of his pieces is one-of-a- kind, hand –hammered, brazed, bent, shaped, ground and contemplated ‘from thought to wrought.’ Among the works available for viewing on his website are ‘sea brass’ sand dollar pendants, a hand-hammered copper sperm whale and a hand-hammered and shaped bronze hook pendant. A Sept. 9, 2011 article by Tony Russo in the Bayside (Maryland) Gazette described Trout’s approach to his work. “In every kind of art, there is a marriage between what the artist wants and what the medium is willing to provide. In the best art, the composer is open to this relationship and willing to do what, for lack of a better way of putting it, the composition wants to have done. “Trout works in precisely this manner. There are pieces he

“Go to a Guy Who is Driven by Customer satisfaction.... Dear Neighbors, I lived and worked in Washington D.C. my entire life. About 4 years ago, my wife kept telling me that I was talking loud, turning up the TV volume very loud and frequently would not hear what other people were saying to me. So we had the dreaded discussion about “hearing aids”. I researched hearing aids extensively, and decided on Starkey brand and a particular model. I went to a large ENT practice in the DC area after several medical tests (along with high copays), I was handed off to a “technician” who ordered the hearing aids and determined without much consultation what features I would get. She spent about 15 minutes showing me the hearing aids, wished me good luck, and told me “any problems just give us a call back”. I was never happy with them. They cost several thousand dollars and I was totally disappointed. They sounded like I was listening through a funnel and they were uncomfortable. Sounds like traffic and wind and crowded restaurants were worse, not better with the aids. We moved to Saint Lucie West about 18 months ago and my wife saw the ads for Mutter’s Hearing Center and kept telling me I should go and have a professional evaluate my hearing. I scheduled an appointment. When I arrived they were: 1) on time, 2) very friendly, and 3) actually knew what they were talking about. After a complimentary exam and evaluation by Joe Mutter, he told me that he was surprised that I could hear anything with them at all. They had never been set up or adjusted properly from the beginning. He showed and explained why. After asking me about how I use the devices, he fitted and adjusted the electronics to my request. I heard better immediately. When he finished that 1st meeting I said “thanks” I will give you a call if I need anything else.
Max Krupo and Joe Mutter
He took the time to explain to me how they worked, how to maintain them and what to expect from the devices. He was exactly right. I actually wore the devices, up to 12 hours or more a day, then when I went back he would make adjustments to make them better. Each time they got closer to my natural hearing. I have had hearing aids for 4 years and it has only been in the last 6 months, since visiting Joe Mutter that I have actually started wearing them and enjoying normal conversation and tv volume levels, along with all of the simple everyday sounds I had been missing for years. Joe Mutter has the technical skills, training, the equipment and most importantly he actually listens to what you have to say. In the end, he makes sure you are happy with the devices and can hear better than you have in a long time.
FREE 8 PK HEARING AID BATTERIES
Please do yourself, your family and your friends a favor. Go to a guy who is driven by customer satisfaction rather than his monthly profit and loss statement. Give him a try. I am sure you will get the results you are hoping for.
We know we’re not just around the corner but we’re really not that far. To show our appreciation for your time and effort we will give you a free 8pk of batteries with your clinical hearing evaluation

Community Foundation, United Way host GREAT GIVE Martin May 6 MARTIN COUNTY — On May 6, everyone in our community gets the chance to be a philanthropist. The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Martin County Community Foundation and the United Way of Martin County have teamed up to host the GREAT GIVE Martin, a 24-hour online giving event designed to raise as much money as possible for local nonprofits in a single day. This county-wide event will celebrate the spirit of giving and collective effort it takes to strengthen our community. Our mission is to connect philanthropists to community needs, and the GREAT GIVE is a way we can touch all our local nonprofits in a lasting way,” said Brad Hurlburt, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. “We’re asking everyone in the community to get behind this effort.

Rayside said that more games are organized for April 5, June 7, Aug. 2 and Oct. 4. Registration is $20 a game. “I want to do five games and find out how much interest there is,” Rayside said.

All nonprofits are invited to participate in the GREAT GIVE Martin and anyone can make a donation on that day. Every gift will be multiplied with bonus dollars from a local pool raised by the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties and a national pool raised by Give Local America. There will also be opportunities for donors and organizations to win cash and prizes throughout the day to keep things fast-paced and exciting. There will be a training session in advance of GREAT GIVE Martin for all interested nonprofit organizations on March 5 at the Treasure Coast Hospice in Stuart. Registration is available here. Special events for the general public are being planned around the county on May 6, and details will be announced in the coming months. Sponsorship opportunities are now available.

Marathon on fast track with new features Patrick McCallister Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
Spots in the Marathon of the Treasure Coast Hosted by Seacoast National Bank are closed, but there’s still lots to do at the upcoming Marathon of the Treasure Coast and BBQ & Blues Fest. “We’re sold out only because we’re limited to 500 runners,” Frank Fender, race director, said. “We’re working to get that raised.” At press time there were still openings for the Treasure Coast Marathon 5K Sponsored by CareNet. That’ll be on Saturday, March 1, staring at 7:30 a.m., at Indian Riverside Park, 1707 N.E. Indian River Drive, Jensen Beach. Even though spots are sold out, runners can still be in the marathon. Kind of. “We have an interesting concept called a virtual race,” Fender said. “You can run the full marathon or half marathon at any place and still get our finishers medal.” Here’s how that works. Runners who can’t make the actual marathon on Sunday, March 2, can register to run it some other time. After registering for the virtual marathon, runners have from before to two weeks after
the official race to run a half or full marathon, 13.1 or 26.2 miles respectively. It can be a different route than the actual marathon. Fender said the virtual race is on the honor system. Mostly. “We would expect you to send us proof of the race,” he said. That could be results from another organized marathon, pictures, or GPS reports. Runners can do the virtual Treasure Coast Marathon in single or over multiple runs. Participants can also join Running for a Reason to raise money for numerous charities marathon organizers are working with, such as the Florida Oceanographic Society, Hibiscus Children’s Center and Achilles International. New this year, too, is relay marathon running. “The relay is a pretty cool event,” Fender said. “You run the full marathon, but with four partners. Each runs about 10 kilometers.” That is about six miles each. That’s how Karen Shipper of Palm City will participate in the first full-length marathon on the Treasure Coast in memory. She’s running with three others representing Bridges Montessori School in Stuart. Shipper said she’s heard of relay races, but— “Not in a marathon, I have not,” she said. “It sounds very interesting.”
Shipper said she has injuries and a recent surgery that would normally keep her out of marathons. “I can run up to about 10 (miles),” she said. “That’s the most I can do without being a lot of pain.” The Marathon of the Treasure Coast and BBQ & Blues Fest will kick off with the BBQ & Blues Festival at 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28. That’ll be at the Indian Riverside Park. The blues festival and Marathon of the Treasure Coast Expo will start at 10 a.m. and continue until 8 p.m. at the same location on Saturday, March 1. The expo and festival resumes on Sunday. The marathon starts at 6 a.m. on Sunday, March 2. Fender said there’ll be lots of good local runners for folks to cheer. But this is an international event. “We have a runner coming in from Germany,” Fender said. “Several from Canada. I noticed yesterday we have someone coming in from Chihuahua, Mexico. Micronesia is the farthest away.” That’s the area with thousands of small islands in the Pacific just north of New Zealand. To find out more about the marathon, visit www.treasurecoastmarathon.com.
SPAY from page A8 Coalition, 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Feb. 25, 4100 S.W. Leighton Farm Ave., Palm City. The program’s goal is to increase awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering one’s pet. During World Spay Day, pre-registered pet owners will drop their pet off at different intervals throughout the day for surgical sterilization. The Society has 70 appointments available for sterilization. The event is planned to go on until all of the scheduled animals have received surgery. The cost of the surgery is $60 for dogs, $40 for rabbits, and $30 for cats. The fee will cover the sterilization, microchip, and rabies vaccination (if the pet is at least four months old at the time of surgery). To sign up, call the Society at (772) 223-8822. Since 1955, the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, located at 4100 S.W. Leighton Farm Ave. in Palm City, has been the leading advocate for animal welfare in the Martin County area. A 501(c)3 private, nonprofit organization, the Humane Society relies on donations, wills and bequests to support its programs and services.

MARTIN COUNTY — It’s federal income-tax time. What to do? How about getting some free help filing? “We provide tax preparation with no age or income restrictions,” Kathleen Bishop, district coordinator of AARPP Foundation’s Tax-Aide, said. “Or residency, really.” The Tax-Aide program has been around nationally since the late ‘60s. It’s been in Martin since at least the early ‘90s, and likely before then. The tax preparers are all volunteers. Many have backgrounds in financial businesses. “Without exception, they’re retirees,” Bishop said. “They hear about the program through another volunteer, or AARP does advertising in their magazines.” Bishop said there are about 60 Tax-Aide volunteers working at four Martin libraries. “We have about 10 who work at the (Peter & Julie Cummings
Library),” she said. Last year volunteers at Cummings helped about 250 file their income taxes. Tax-Aide helped about 2,000 throughout Martin. “All of our returns are done on a first come first serve basis,” Bishop said. “We do not take appointments.” Which is the downside for some. “The wait time can be considerable,” Bishop said. “People in Florida, they (all) tend to show up first thing in the morning.” But if an unpredictable wait time is OK— “An individual tax return can take an hour,” Bishop said. Bishop offered a tip to those who don’t have time to wait at a library for free help filing taxes. “The (Internal Revenue Service) has free filing programs available at their web site,” she said. “Most people can go to the IRS web site and file for free.” That’s at www.irs.gov. Tax-Aide starts helping folks in early February. It continues for 10 weeks, wrapping up on April

1000 times rarer than Diamonds Tanzanite is one of the most intriguing and sought after precious gemstones of modern times. From a single known source, deep in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa. Its infinite supply is expected to last just one generation. Discovered in 1967, it is a wonderful, unique, multidimensional colored stone it rad ates a kaleidoscope of royal blue, violet, indigo, lilac and periwinkle, and has enchanted discerning jewelry buyers seeking rarity and distinction. Tanzanite is a rare and precious gemstone variety of the mineral zoisite. While zoisite itself occurs widely, the random presence of vanadium in the same vicinity under exacting geological conditions more than 585 million years ago created the ideal environment for tanzanite’s conception. Tanzanite’s formation is so rare that it has been described as being ‘more astounding than the stone itself ’, a geological phenomenon.
JUST ONE GENERATION
This geology is rendered even more phenomenal by the fact that the source is limited to a single generation. Those fortunate enough to already own tanzanite, and those who acquire it in the next decade or so will be the only first-time owners. Thereafter, tanzanite will become a precious heirloom.
UNPARALLELED SCARCITY
Diamonds By Terry has designed a one of a kind necklace containing a rare gem quality oval Tanzanite weighing 19.76cts. The size alone is extremely rare in it’s self, not to mention it is set in platinum with 70 round brilliant diamonds weighing 2.55cts VVS-F-G in color. Please come by and view this once in a lifetime treasure you can see it at Diamonds By Terry on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am-5pm.

COMMITTEE from page A1 the community,” he’d said earlier in the meeting. If the Community Redevelopment Agency approves the design, initial work on Mapp would stretch from 28th Street to 29th Terrace and start as early as 2015. It would cost about $1.7 million. Freeman said the Old Palm City Community Redevelopment Area has about $1.3 million available for projects. Freeman believes that because of using innovative storm-water management designs that reduce the need for treatment areas the project could receive grants to make up the difference. Freeman said it’s OK if grants don’t materialize; the proposed design is set up for intermittent construction as money becomes available. “It’s like a Lego set,” he said. “We can put in round pieces or square pieces.” Freeman added, “The county CRA doesn’t have to build all this out.” NAC member Joseph “Joe” Gilio said he liked the proposed road design, and the fact it would be done piecemeal. Nevertheless, he said there are things to dislike in the proposal.

The future of Mapp Road. At least the one planner Brian Good, Kimley-Horn and Associates, gave the Old Palm City Neighborhood Advisory Committee at its second meeting, Monday, Feb. 17. The committee unanimously voted to recommend the proposed road design to the Martin County Commission acting as the county’s Community Redevelopment Agency.

COMMITTEE from page A12 “The flip side is you’re always constructing,” he said. Mapp is the centerpiece of Palm City’s Community Redevelopment Area. The CRA, adopted in 2002, includes 610 acres. The area is nestled along Mapp Road from S.W. Rio Vista Way south to S.W. All American Boulevard. It goes from the St. Lucie River South Fork west to a few blocks past Mapp. There’s a western extension nestled along S.W. 34th and S.W. 36th streets to S.W. Berry Avenue. In a CRA some county taxes paid on property values higher than what they were in a base year — when the area was established — stay in that district for economic development and blight elimination for a set period of time. It’s called Tax Increment Financing, TIF. In Martin the amount of that money CRAs retain for projects is between 50 and 95 percent. The commission annually decides the rate. This
TAX from page A10 11 this year. “It is absolutely the perfect volunteer activity for a snowbird,” Bishop said. “There’s training, and that happens in January. She added, “Our normal shift is four hours. Not everybody does that. We ask them to volunteer two shifts a week, eight hours.” And volunteers do need to have a couple qualities. “You do have to be comfortable with computers and the public,” Bishop said. The Tax-Aide volunteers are at the Cummings Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The library is at 2551 S.W. Matheson Avenue, Palm City. The service is at Stuart’s Blake Library on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. all days, except Mondays. On Mondays the volunteer tax pre-

year the rate is 75 percent. The primary goal of Palm City’s 30-year CRA was construction of The Mapp Road Town Center Design, which was crafted in 2003. The plan a decade ago was for a Mapp Road that looked a lot like an old-fashioned town center. Sort of a shopping-friendly downtown for Palm City between Martin Highway and Martin Downs Boulevard. About a year ago the commission voted to start accepting applications for the county’s seven volunteer NACs it disbanded shortly after the 2012 elections, when it made several changes to the county’s Community Redevelopment Agency. The county commission disbanded the agency and assumed its role administering Martin’s seven Community Redevelopment Areas. The Palm City NAC’s first meeting was in November. Future meetings of the advisory committee will be on Mondays May 19 August 18 and November 17. Other meetings can be called.

Community Drive, Stuart. It’s at the Hoke Library on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, also from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That library is at 1150 N.W. Jack Williams Way, Jensen Beach. In St. Lucie, volunteers are at Morningside Branch Library, 2410 S.E. Morningside Blvd., Port St. Lucie on Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. They’re at the Port St. Lucie Community Center, 2195 S.E.

Terryl Lawrence will present a two-part lecture series on art and its international expansion beginning Tuesday, March 4 at 2 pm in the Donahue room of the Peter and Julie Cummings Library, 2551 S.W. Matheson Ave, Palm City. “Toulouse Lautrec & Montmartre,” the March 4 lecture, deals with the title artist and how more than any other artist he epitomized the spirit of Montmartre, the most vibrant and colorful quarter of 19th century Paris. He is one of those artists who has attracted interest not only for his art, but for the life he lived. The series continues Tuesday, March 25 from 6 to 7 p.m. with “Gustav
39
Klimt & Art Nouveau” at the Hobe Sound Public Library, where Lawrence will discuss how in the period referred to as the “fin de siecle” — the prosperous middle class of Europe were determined to live “the good life.” Klimt and 39 of his fellow artists established the Vienna Secession in 1897 for the purpose of raising the quality of Arts and Craft in Austria to the highest level of Art Nouveau. Dr. Terryl Lawrence earned a doctoral degree from Columbia University. She has had numerous exhibitions of her paintings and photographs in New York and Florida and is the recipient of many awards including a national grant in the Humanities.

Celebrities Fore Kids announces recent donations to cancer center, pediatric oncology team MARTIN COUNTY — Right on the heels of their largest fundraising event of the year, Celebrities Fore Kids is already making a positive impact in the community and distributing the funds to those in need. Celebrities Fore Kids is pleased to announce the distribution of $30,000 to the Robert & Carol Weissman Cancer Center at Martin Health Systems and $12,000 to the Pediatric Oncology Support Team in West Palm Beach. “Typically, we distribute funds only twice a year, but these two organizations alerted us to the fact there were more families who they serve that needed assistance and we were thrilled to be in a position to be able to respond to that need,” said Celebrities Fore Kids founder, Marlene Filer. “This is exactly why our volunteers work so tirelessly on our events. To fill the gap for these families with children who are struggling with cancer or a life-threatening illness.”
Funding will help families pay their rent, mortgages, utilities and other household expenses. By alleviating these financial burdens, families will be able to focus on providing emotional support for each other. “We’re so grateful for the amazing partnership we have with Celebrities Fore Kids,” said Cancer Center Site Supervisor Marie DeGrosa. “Since 2005 Celebrities Fore Kids has provided us with $340,000 in funding allowing us to help more than 125 families.” In December 2013, the organization hosted the 13th Annual Larry Laoretti & Tico Torres Celebrities Fore Kids Golf Classic which netted more than $170,000. Since its founding in 1997, Celebrities Fore Kids has raised approximately $1.7 million and helped to improve the lives of nearly than 500 families. The 501(c)(3) non-profit organization provides financial assistance to Treasure Coast families, who have children with cancer, as well as to adults with cancer
who support children 18 years of age and younger. Celebrities Fore Kids collaborates with case workers from the Robert & Carol Weissman Cancer Center at Martin Medical Center in Stuart and the Pediatric Oncology Support Team Inc. in West Palm Beach to determine which families qualify for assistance. Financial support is provided to fill in the gaps to pay for costs that are not typically offered by other funding sources. Celebrities Fore Kids offers financial assistance for transportation to and from treatment centers, non-covered medical and prescription expenses, rent or mortgage payments, daily living expenses such as phone, water and electricity, as well as individual and family counseling, grocery gift cards and other household bills. For more information about Celebrities Fore Kids, visit www. celebritiesforekids.org or call (772) 781-7943. The Pediatric Oncology Support Team, Inc. (POST) is a 501 (c)(3)

William and Helen Thomas Charitable Trust Awards funding to Helping People Succeed TREASURE COAST — Thanks to the William and Helen Thomas Charitable Trust, Helping People Succeed has received a $5,000 donation to be used as seed money for the beginning of a new “transition” program for young adults with autism spectrum disorder. Helping People Succeed kicked off its after-school programs for students with autism spectrum disorder more than two years ago. The classes first concentrated on middle school students and in the last two years, elementary and high school students have been added to the program. In addition, Helping People Succeed is developing an autism center on Florida Street between Old Dixie Highway and Johnson Avenue, where autism classes, counseling for parents and families, Music & Movement, yoga therapy and art therapy are coordinated. The transition program will focus on young adults (ages 17 – 21) who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and who want to live and work independently. The William and Helen Thomas Charitable Trust honors a longtime philanthropic couple by supporting non-profit organizations that provide services in education, the environment, medical needs, the underprivileged and other charitable purposes.

Singer celebrates ladies of song Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
STUART — One of the great pleasures of my job is the opportunity to talk to people I’ve seen on the stage and tell them how much their performances meant to me. I saw award-winning singer Christine Andreas in 1976, in the 20th anniversary production of “My Fair Lady.” In that production, Andreas played Eliza opposite Ian Richardson’s Henry. It was one of her first starring roles and she was luminous in it. It was one of those moments in the theater you remember so many years later. Christine Andreas brings her show, “Here’s to the Ladies,” to the Lyric Theatre March 3. She spoke from the airport in New York City, where she was waiting for a flight to West Palm Beach, about the road to Eliza and her path since. “I had done ‘Angel Street,’ a play, with Dina Merrill,” she said. “I was a Cockney maid. Prior to that, I had done ‘Words and Music,’ directed by Jerry Adler. He directed me in ‘My Fair Lady.’ I had always seen myself attached to (‘My Fair Lady,’) from when I read ‘Pygmalion.’ I waited for them to make the connection and realize I was their girl.” Being cast in the role was a dream come true, but the reality
was difficult. They had just three weeks of rehearsal and three weeks of out-of-town performances before opening on Broadway to an audience, many of whom remembered the original staging, “My production had the same stage manager and director,” Andreas said. “We tried to recreate the original production.” Andreas had the opportunity to recreate another iconic role, as Laurey, in a Broadway revival of “Oklahoma.” She worked with Billy Hammerstein, son of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, and legendary choreographer Agnes De Mille, who choreographed the original production. The show, a theater staple now, was considered ground-breaking. “It broke all the rules,” Andreas said. “Musicals (then) were all tippy-tap. It had a quiet opening. It had a dark side. It is a beautiful piece of American theater, beautifully done. It was a joy.” Andreas appeared in several other shows and then left New York. The birth of her son, who was developmentally disabled, changed her focus. “When you’re doing shows, you don’t tuck them into bed,” she said. “I missed my son.” She began doing concert work and her first performance was at the White House, during the first Bush presidency. She became a familiar performer at the

ANDREAS from page B1 Algonquin and the Carlyle, and performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Her show, “Here’s to the Ladies,” is an outgrowth of her work at the Carlyle. “The Carlyle wanted a themed show,” she said. “I patterned it on women I loved listening to. It’s an homage to Ethel Merman, Julie Andrews, Barbara Cooke, Angela Lansbury, Barbra Streisand, Helen Morgan and Mary Martin. I’ll tell anecdotes and go into the beautiful songs. The orchestrations are true to the original songs, but fresh.” The show will include such wonderful songs as “I could Have Danced all Night,” “I’m Flying,” “Don’t Rain on my Parade,” “They Say It’s Wonderful,” “Shall We Dance,” and “My Best Girl.” They’re the songs we’ve heard all of our lives, sung by a song stylist who brings out the best in

them. Andreas noted that she has made a CD of the show. “You can take me home with you,” she said. The singer’s husband, composer Martin Silvestri, is at work on a new show, called “The Countess of Storyville.” Andreas said it’s the old-fashioned kind of show, where word and music matter. She might sing one of the songs from it, “The Way it Feels to Love.” For Christine Andreas, the circle has come around. The girl “who could have danced all night” is still singing her heart out. Christine Andreas presents a musical tribute, “Here’s to the Ladies, March 3 at 7 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart. Tickets are $40.

Community ‘note’-ables selected to compete in inaugural Singing with the Stars FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
MARTIN COUNTY -- You may have seen your favorite band on stage at The House of Blues or shed a tear at “Les Miserables” on Broadway, but have you ever wondered what hidden talent resides right here in Martin County? Artists for a Cause is excited to reveal the pitch-perfect group that will grace the stage at their inaugural event, Singing with the Stars. Pairing “unsung” community notables with professional singers, each duo will select a song, practice, and prepare and then compete on stage at the Lyric Theatre in historic downtown Stuart on Saturday, March 15, at 7 p.m. The amateur singers were chosen through an open application process, through which many applied. The performers -- listed with the amateur first and then the professional -- include: David Dew and Shelley Keelor; Michael Izzolo and Elizabeth Casalini; Carley Moss and Karin Leone; Linda Weiksnar and Jonathan Cummings; and Bob Zaccheo and
Carla Holbrook. The event is the brainchild of co-chairs Terry Barber, internationally acclaimed countertenor and founder of Artists for a Cause, and Stacy Ranieri, chief illuminator of The Firefly Group, a public relations and marketing firm. Though not competing, this pair will also be performing a duet during the event. “We thought this new event would be a great way to connect with talented individuals who have a love of singing but have spent their time singing in their cars or showers and never had the opportunity to perform on stage in front of a crowd,” said Barber. “I also love that this event is supporting great artists in our network. “The audience will be treated to some of the best talent there is, and get to watch the cast compete for a great cause!” Singing with the Stars is a new fundraiser for Artists for a Cause, a national, nonprofit organization that improves communities using art as a catalyst. In addition, another local nonprofit, Keep Martin Beautiful, has also been chosen

Sponsors who have already committed to providing support include: Anchor Home Health Services, Crary Buchanan, Price Wealth Management UBS, Forest Hills Funeral Homes, and Family Private Care, and NisAir, Wallace Automotive, Your Voice News & Views and Scripps Treasure Coast

Executive Committee. Dew will perform with professional Shelley Keelor, who has been entertaining audiences regionally and internationally on stage and in concert for nearly two decades. Keelor is becoming known for her one-woman shows. Her current show, “A Broadway Love Story,” is being performed throughout South Florida. Michael Izzolo, owner of the Michael Leonard Salon in Palm City and is known in the community for his volunteer work, will sing alongside Elizabeth Casalini. Casalini has her BFA in musical theater and recently won the 2013 Broadway World Award for Best Actress in a Play. Carley Moss, the marketing and event coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, is preparing to belt out a ballad with help from partner Karin Leone. Leone has been nominated for several awards for her work in New York and Los Angeles, and was most recently seen on The Lyric stage in last season’s rock musical “Next to Normal.” Linda Weiksnar, attorney with Crary Buchanan, will channel her experience singing in church with assistance from her partner Jonathan Cummings. Cummings sang back-up for Barry Manilow
and now performs at many local venues, including The Lyric Theatre. While Bob Zaccheo, the executive director of Project LIFT, has never performed in public, his talents will be on display with partner Carla Holbrook, who toured with the Salvador Santana Band, and recorded with Salvador Santana and Carlos Santana. Since returning to the Stuart area, Carla has been playing different venues across South Florida, singing with notable musicians and has also been involved with several professional theater productions at Starstruck Performing Arts Center, most memorably in Dolly Parton’s role as Doralee in “9 -5 The Musical.” Artists for a Cause is a Stuart-based, national, nonprofit organization that helps visual and performing artists to use their talents for community improvement. Artists are not asked to give up their livelihood, or to work without some remuneration; art is not just for art’s sake.. Some programs help artists and charities get the most out of their collaboration, while others produce results directly, by feeding the poor, healing the sick, or solving other problems through unique artistic solutions. Current programs include Dance for Food, Therapeutic Arts, Donated

Woman presents Martin Memorial with $10M gift FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
MARTIN COUNTY — Martin Health System recently received a gift of more than $10 million from Edward and Joan McGowan, the largest single philanthropic gift in the organization’s history. To recognize the McGowans for their generosity, the north tower at Martin Medical Center in Stuart was recently renamed in their honor. At a special ceremony, friends and supporters of Martin Health System celebrated the naming of the Edward and Joan McGowan Pavilion. “Martin Health could not be more grateful and appreciative of this outstanding gift and the lasting legacy the McGowans have made to this community,” said Mark Robitaille, president and chief executive officer of Martin Health. “The north tower was named in their honor as a visual reminder of their generosity and recognition of the value philanthropy brings to providing exceptional patient care.” Edward McGowan, who died in last year, had a long, successful career in real estate development in Long Island, New York. He and his wife were part-time residents of Florida for many years until 2006 when they made their full-time residence in Palm City. McGowan was remembered as an extraordinary man who understood the importance of philanthropy in the community. “Ed and I always believed in the importance of philanthropy to the community and the difference it can make in the lives of individuals,” Joan McGowan said. “We wanted to hon-

Howard Robbins and Linda Kardos. At the same time, we wanted our gift to inspire this great community to help others through philanthropy.” “Ed McGowan was an extremely generous and giving person,” Dr. Robbins said. “He felt Martin Medical Center was an essential part of our community and wanted his gift to support the Martin Health mission to provide exceptional health care.” Martin Health System is a not-for-profit, community-based health care organization that has served the region for more than 70 years. It offers a continuum of care including
preventive, primary and acute hospital care, as well as cancer and cardiac care, wellness and rehabilitation services. Its approximately 3,700 associates, nearly 375 affiliated physicians and 900 volunteers provide care at 13 different locations serving Martin and St. Lucie counties. Martin Health is an eight-time winner of the Truven Health Analytics 100 Top Hospitals Award, has twice been named a Thomson Reuters 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals award winner, and received designation as an Employer of Choice for 2009, 2010-11 and 2013.

Pet of the week
I am a fun-loving, people-loving 56 lb handsome chap. Hi, my name is Jethro. At 3 years old, I am energetic and will do best in a fenced-in yard where I can exercise, play and have lots of fun. You’ll be impressed as I will sit by the door alerting you that I want to go outside. I will be right by your side while wiggling my happy body. I also love belly rubs and will reciprocate with heart warming kisses.
Jethro
I am a dashing 2 year-old male Domestic Shorthair feline and my name is Kleenex. I adore affection and playing with my feline mates! I am a sweet boy full of grey & white fluff. I am eager to explore my new life with you!

WHAT IS ALL ABOARD FLORIDA? THIRTY TWO passenger trains traveling daily from Miami to Orlando, through our towns, between 7:00 a.m.—11:00 p.m. There are no scheduled stops between West Palm Beach and Orlando! They will simply pass through our towns 32 times per day! With the freight trains, you can expect up to 50 trains per day staring in 2015!
WHAT COULD THIS MEAN TO YOU?
• Major increase in traffic congestion, air and noise pollution! • Property values will be seriously impacted! • Boaters west of the Roosevelt Bridge will no longer have unlimited access to the oceans and sand bars as we know today! The train bridge will be down A LOT!!!! • Marine related businesses west of the bridge will be devastated! • Downtowns will be bombarded with trains constantly rolling through our once beautiful tourist destinations. • Loss of revenue to our community! • Cross the rail tracks on the way to work? Expect longer commute times!
SOLUTION!
Why not lease the CSX tracks to the west? Using the CSX tracks means no additional congestion in our towns, boaters still have access to the ocean, businesses can still prosper and AAF can transport passengers from Miami to Orlando. WIN—WIN! (Kim) “DeLaney said eventually we may see less freight traffic on the FEC tracks anyway. Links between the FEC and the more westerly CSX tracks could allow freight to travel up the central spine of Florida through Lakeland rather than along the coast.”
