Wildlife Center It’s worth a shot 20-acre expansion just filed Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

PALM CITY — The Treasure Coast Wildlife Center is heading toward long-anticipated expansion. The not-for-profit wildlife rehabilitation and public education organization had a development pre-application meeting with Martin County’s Growth Management the last week of January. The center moved from Hobe Sound to Palm City, 8626 S.W.

Citrus Blvd., in 2004. “It was thrown together with a lick and a prayer,” Dan Martinelli, executive director, said. The plan from the start was for the current facilities to be temporary. The organization has a master plan for developing it’s about 20 acres, but time between making the plan and having money to build it has been longer than expected, and some updates are needed. Many have pre-application meetings with Growth Management to make sure they

Martin’s All Aboard Florida opposition fund running low Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

MARTIN COUNTY — Last year the County Commission laid down a huge bet that it could derail All Aboard Florida. At the Feb. 17 regular meeting in 2015, Commissioner John Haddox jumped right to it. “I move that the Board of County Commissioners allocate reserve funds in the amount of $1.4 million to be used in whatever action is necessary to oppose All Aboard

Florida, including legal action,” he said at the meeting last year. The odd number, $1.4 million, was 1 percent of that fiscal year’s ad valorem tax collection — the logic being that All Aboard Florida, a proposed privately owned highspeed passenger rail, would harm the county’s property values. Anne Scott, Hobe Sound, quickly seconded the motion, and the commission approved it unanimously with hardly any discussion. On the same day, Indian

It’s fair time in Martin County Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

MARTIN COUNTY — The corndogs and funnel cakes, rides and shows are right around the corner. The Martin County Fair & Youth Livestock Show kicks off next Friday, Feb. 12. “Once again, opening night is free admission for everyone,” Jay Spicer, fair manager, said. “Come kick the tires and see what the fair is all about.” The fair kicks off at 4:30 p.m. with Community & Kids Day. The opening ceremony will be at 7 p.m., followed by the Miss Martin County Fair Pageant at 7:30 p.m. Some of the entertainers will look familiar to locals. “We’ve added another community stage, so people can sit and eat and watch,” Spicer said. “Some local groups will be able to entertain folks. The local dance clubs, tai chi, local bands.” The Dance Academy of Stuart will start the local entertainment at 6 p.m. on opening day with a demo at the Florida Outdoors Stage. That high-flying, spinning midway comes courtesy of Palm City.

More precisely, Deggeller Attractions. “They travel the East Coast with fairs all the way to Maryland, and they hail from Palm City right next to the (Ronald Reagan Turnpike),” Spicer said “We’ve been working with them for 35 years.” While Deggeller will have some of those favorites back to test people’s stomachs, that ain’t all it’s got. “We have a couple new rides coming that the company bought over the summer,” Spicer said Sweet! The fair is starting up this year with the theme “Bigger, Better, Bolder.” Some of the buildings have been expanded since last year’s fair. It’s an exciting time for the fair folks, too, as the county is now talking about moving the fairgrounds. On Jan. 13 County Commissioner John Haddox, Palm City, hosted a meeting about a proposed fair move. All but one county commissioner attended. A small contingent from Indiantown made a strong pitch for relocating the fairgrounds near Timer Powers Park, 20652 S.W. Citrus Blvd., on about 100 acres

Gracie Baecher of Palm City was chosen as Miss Martin County 2015 during the annual pageant. Martin County Fair, 2016, takes place on Friday, Feb. 12 in Stuart. Gracie is a student at Martin County High School and a member of the girls’ soccer team.

Young equestrian competes and wins Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

PALM CITY — Lindsay Ghete has always loved animals, but when her mother, Katherine, a former rider, suggested they go feed the horses, Lindsay held back. At 5, she was a bit intimidated by the big animals. A year later, she and her mother came back with carrots for the horse and Lindsay decided she wanted to try riding. “She got on the horse and she was a natural,” Katherine Ghete said. “She had a good seat and the instructor said, ‘Wow, this girl can ride.’” Lindsay does much of her riding at Sunny Time Stables in Palm City, where she rides Noah, the first horse she ever rode. Today, Lindsay, 9, has won many ribbons and competes against riders much older than she. The Tradition resident, 3rd grader at St. Joseph Catholic School in Stuart, recently competed in a show at the Jupiter Horsemen’s Association, where, competing against riders as old as 17, she came home with eight ribbons, including champion-

ships in divisions for those 10 and younger and those 17 and younger. “Noah was the first horse she ever rode,” Katherine Ghete said. “They clicked and they have a bond. She also rides at Tu-bahd Farms in Port St. Lucie and would like to move into higher jumps and dressage, the highly skilled form of riding known to many from the Olympics. She recently attended at clinic at Tubahd Farms led by Robin Millett, a well-known dressage trainer. Katherine Ghete said that her daughter does much more than ride the horse. “Horseback teaches so much,” she said. It teaches compassion, dedication and responsibility. It’s amazing. You don’t ride a horse and go home. She gets the horse groomed, lugs water, and after her ride, bathes the horse and puts away the tack. She brushes other horses, spends a lot of time and works hard at it.” Lindsay is an A student and she does have other interests. “She’s outdoorsy,” Katherine Ghete said, “She likes to ride her bike and skateboard. She’s not one to sit in the house, watching TV. She likes band and plays the

Dad Romeo Ghete, a professional photographer, is able to document his daughter’s success and progress. Both parents try to

make new opportunities available to her. “The more trainers and opportunities she has, the better she’ll become,” Katherine Ghete said. “We call her a horse whisperer.

Zero Suicide — preventing the preventable Cynthia Warren

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

MARTIN COUNTY — Lisa Pettey, local mother, wants to make a difference in the lives of people who are thinking about committing suicide. Her daughter, Ashley Pettey, was 30 years old when she took her life on Feb. 1, 2013. Ashley enjoyed cooking and was a wine sommelier. She volunteered, working with kids. “Ashley was a tremendous artist, an English major, in the restaurant business, loved reading, fashion, and she loved with her heart like a giant,” said Mrs. Pettey. After experiencing the loss of several babies to miscarriage, she began a downhill spiral. Doctors prescribed medications, but Ashley slowly lost everything — interest in her favorite activities, work, her home, and then her life. “She was gone before she left us. If I can help save one kid or person it makes a difference,” said Pettey. “There’s a moment of clarity when they don’t want to do it.” Pettey suspected her daughter was thinking of hurting herself, but she didn’t know when or how. The stress of suicide for family was described in this way: “It takes a lot out of a family and destroys marriages.” She tried to intervene, but Ashley was too old and doctors continued giving her medications. Ashley was an only child, and Pettey regrets she will never experience grandchildren, nor

walking her daughter down the aisle on her wedding day. “People who commit suicide feel there is no other way out and that no one understands the pain,” said Pettey. “They are in a dark, sad place.” Learning the signs of suicide, and asking the right questions, could help to prevent a loved one from suicide. “There’s no rich or poor in suicide,” Pettey said. “By sharing my story, it may open that one person’s eyes.” One of Pettey’s goals is to start a foundation called Ashley’s Voice. She wants others to know this is a true story that happened to her, and it could happen to you. In November 2015, Pettey participated in AFSPs (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s) first walk in St. Lucie County, called “Out of the Darkness,” where more than $10,000 was raised. The event featured the band Relayer, a Lifekeeper Memory Quilt (who participated in producing quilted squares with photos of lost loved ones), suicide prevention information, a memory wall, speakers, and more. In September this year, AFSP will host the 3rd annual Out of the Darkness Walk in Martin County at Flagler Park. In 2015, the walk in Martin County raised more than $25,000, with 450 walkers participating. Harrington mentioned the Martin County School District being very proactive in educating their students on suicide awareness, as well as guidance counselors, teachers and administrators.

AFSP’s program, More Than Sad, helps teens recognize the signs of depression in themselves and others, challenges the stigma surrounding depression, and demystifies the treatment process. There are separate components for parents and teachers, similarly teaching them how to recognize signs of depression and other mental health problems, initiate a conversation about mental health with their child/ student, and get them help. In Martin County, Harrington stated, “AFSP partnered with Tykes & Teens to host safeTALK — a free suicide-alertness training for anyone over the age of 15, is open to the public. The idea is the more people in our community that can identify someone in distress, the more lives we can save.” The stigma of mental illness is in our society is starting to shift. Jane Harrington, from AFSP said, “People are starting to talk about it more and they aren’t as scared to admit they need help or to reach out for help. We all make a yearly physical to check out our bodies from the neck down, why shouldn’t we do that for the neck up?” In Martin and St. Lucie Counties, AFSP has a number of prevention and educational programs they are implementing. Jane Harrington shared her message of hope by saying, “My message of hope for the community and those struggling with mental illness (or have a loved one with a mental illness) is that suicide is preventable. Ninety-five percent of those that go on to die by sui-

Ashley Pettey cide have a mental illness (either diagnosed or undiagnosed). If we can identify those people, connect them with lifesaving resources and get them treatment and help, together we really can save lives. It might not be an easy journey, but it is worth it.” Pettey stated this for parents: “Communication is key. There is a sigma with suicide. Notice and look for behaviors that give clues to thoughts of suicide. Pick up literature, read books, research suicide.org and afsp.org, and New Horizons. Check your child’s Facebook, phone messages, is there drug use, who are they hanging out with? “The ability to commit suicide comes from drawing on strengths or building up to it. Once the person gets to the point of strength there is no going back and it’s too late.” If you have experienced a loss, Pettey urged families to be there

have their ducks in a row before starting the detailed process of getting development approval. The center recently constructed a 2,400-square-foot workspace, along with doing work on water mitigation. “We have done the majority of the site work,” Martinelli said. The center aims to soon build a 5,000-square-foot multi-purpose building that can expand its education role, including starting a summer camp. “We really want to do a summer camp out here,” Martinelli said. “For safety, you need to be able to get those kids inside when the summer thunderstorms come up.” This summer could have the first camp, but more likely it’ll be in 2017. “I would like to get construction (of the multi-purpose building) started in the next couple months,” Martinelli said. The building will cost around $350,000 and have space for onsite educational programs. The center takes animal ambassadors to various school, church and civic organization events to help folks understand wildlife’s needs. Martinelli said that’s a valuable service the center will continue, but it’s better to bring humans to the animals.

Sadly Amber died late last year. She often served as a segregate mother for rescued young owls. The center had a pre-application meeting with the county’s Growth Management department. It plans to build a 5,000-square foot multi-purpose building for, among other things, summer camp programs.

“It’s not all just exclusively about learning about wildlife in a directed way,” he said. “It’s also about experiencing the great outdoors.” The center gets about 1,500 to 2,000 injured and sick animals a year. Some can never be returned to the wild. Some of those animals are available for people to meet at the center. A portion of it is open to the public Thursdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. “We have a great picnic area thanks to an Eagle Scout,” Martinelli said. “It’s next to the eagle display cage.” The center has much more expansion on the drawing board. It’s also extraordinarily expensive to operate. For example, Martinelli said, caring for, say, dogs, cats or horses comes with food infrastructure. The animals the center cares for have different diets at different times of day. To learn more about Palm City’s Treasure Coast Wildlife Center, visit www.tcwild.org.

The Law Offices of Travis R. Walker, P.A.

Michael Durham Martin County’s County Attorney say that the proposed 32 additional trains a day will effectively close the St. Lucie to navigation and destroy the marine industry on the Treasure Coast. Haddox said uproar over All Aboard Florida, which exploded in 2014, has quieted, but it’s not dead. “The opposition is still very solid from the three major opposition groups, Florida Not All Aboard, Citizens Against Rail Expansion and (the Guardians of Martin County-created) Citizens Against the Train Fund,” he said. “We still get emails saying to stand our ground, it’s the number-one threat to our quality of life.” Haddox said he’s not decided whether to support refilling the depleted fund. He’s waiting to hear a full report from the county staff at a meeting.

state’s 9th Judicial Circuit in Orange County to do something no one else has — figure out exactly what the Florida Development Finance Corporation, FDFC, is. The answers can have legal ramifications for decades to come. For starters, the answers can help decide whether a court can pause or stop the sale of $1.75 billion in bonds the FDFC approved, which is what Martin County wants it to do. But, Durham said, charting new legal waters is expensive. It’s not like a lawyer can open some dusty books and cite settled case law in filings. Additionally, Durham said lawsuits require that a plaintiff show how he, she or it is harmed. When dealing with something that has never existed before — privately-owned high-speed rail in Florida — that gets expensive, too. “We spent (the opposition fund) on bridge studies and social-justice issues,” the county attorney said. Plans call for All Aboard Florida to run mostly along existing tracks owned by Florida East Coast Industries from Miami to the Orlando International Airport. Much of the local opposition has centered around the train bridge traversing the St. Lucie River nestled between the Roosevelt and Old Dixie Highway bridges in Stuart. Boating businesses and groups

of county-owned acres. The fair is now crammed onto about 12 acres of county-owned land on South Dixie Highway, Stuart, making it among the smallest fairs in the country. But, even if the Martin County Fair Association got the green light to head west today, Spicer said it would take years to finish the move. In the meantime, he said fair planners have gotten really good at tapping every square foot of space. “The fair is the best place in the world to get an education about agriculture and the environment,” Spicer said. There’s going to be about 60 short lectures this year on everything from taking better digital pictures to controlling the invasive lionfish. This year there’s a Science Lab for the youngsters. Spicer calls it the “mad scientist wing.” It has almost 20 science, technology, engineering and math games — uh, educational exercises — for children. “There’s an egg drop competition,” Spicer said. OK, those are fun. Kids learn lots about gravity, kinetic energy, impact physics and compressive strength by building packages in the hope of keeping their eggs together after a prescribed drop.

SCAR helmets. There’s going to be a bunch of electronic things for children to take apart and use parts to build other things — without getting into trouble for it this time. But when those young geniuses grow up and get degrees they have to get jobs, right? “We put in an Enterprise Zone, which will feature Martin County companies that manufacture products sold all over the world,” Spicer said. “There’s a variety of Martin County companies participating.” Take D.O.A. Lures folks buy at Bass Pro Shops and others. “Made right here in Stuart, Florida,” Spicer said. That’s cool, and D.O.A. is among the interesting companies that’ll be in the Enterprise Zone. Spicer said lots of folks with children and youths performing at the fair aren’t aware that they need to pay to enter. Nothing stinks more than waiting in line five minutes before Junior is supposed to start his performance. Spicer has a time-saving tip that will get parents to the right stages at the right times to cheer their stars in training. “I remind them that you can buy advance tickets online,” he said. That’s until Thursday, Feb. 11. “If you have somebody participat-

for each other, “people need to help people, don’t play the blame game,” stay together, and support each other. Bringing more awareness can help people contemplating suicide, help them to live, and provide support groups for the family and friends. Pettey went on to say, at the national level, “we need an advocate in government that has had a loss of a child or someone close to stand up and create a voice out of the darkness.” Perhaps the government is headed in the right direction. New Horizons is a community mental health organization that has been open for 58 years on the Treasure Coast. They were one of the few programs chosen to attend the Zero Suicide Academy in Washington, D.C. Since attending, New Horizons was awarded a four-year grant for the “Zero Suicide” initiative. The state grant is through Florida LINC (Linking Individuals Needing Care), and the Garrett Lee Smith Act and the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration. The purpose of the grant is sustainability of the program by New Horizons by the end of the four years. The Zero Suicide initiative will provide

training on the Treasure Coast to their staff and community partners, such as law enforcement, school personnel, and the general public, to bring us to a place of “zero suicide.” New Horizons is in the process of training staff to approach clients with utilization of standardized tools to uncover thoughts of suicide; by asking the right questions, before it becomes tragic. The first phase, QPR, involves asking the right questions, persuading the person to ask for help or accept help, and refer them to the appropriate agency, such as New Horizons for help. “Our CEO, John Romano spreads the message of hope and healing this way, ‘One life lost to suicide is one too many,’” said Carruthers. The goal during the second year of the grant is to offer support groups, which are extremely limited. Treasure Coast Hospice is the only agency that offers a suicide support group in our area at this time. In the last four years, there were 320 suicides on the Treasure Coast, in which nine were teenagers. In the state suicide is the second highest cause of death for teens and youths. The goal of this initiative is to make “suicide

a never event.” The impact of suicide is tragic and far-reaching. In other words, there are immediate family members that are affected, as well as extended family, friends, co-workers, and the list goes on. “We need to listen to what our loved ones are saying and to what they are not saying,” Carruthers said. There are signs of suicide, and taking the steps to educate ourselves is a proactive measure to prevent suicide. “That’s how we can help them,” said Carruthers. In Florida, in 2014, there were 2,961 people that died by suicide in confirmed reports (CDC reports 3,035), 801 youth between the ages of 0-24, 243 between the ages of 10 and 18. Nationally, as reported by the Disease Control, in 2014, there were 42,773 deaths by suicide. New Horizons staff believes we can have “Zero Suicide – By Asking the Important Questions every time.” As part of the initiative, New Horizons will be offering free training programs throughout the Treasure Coast for community partners in the QPR techniques, to assist people who are considering suicide. The first class on Feb. 17 is already full.

STUART — The Prescription Shop, a locally and pharmacist-owned pharmacy on Colorado Avenue in Stuart, has been treating patients in Martin County for nearly 60 years. This used to be very common, says Kim Jones, a Stuart resident who bought the shop in 2014, but now a lot of smaller local pharmacies are being bought out by investors or pushed out by large chains. The previous owner, Robert Taylor owned the shop for 49 years. “We can do everything a large pharmacy can do,” says Jones. “But we generally offer more services than some of the larger chains.” The Prescription Shop can alter or combine prescriptions for a patient’s individual needs, a process called medication compounding. They also offer free delivery for locals including Palm City residents and are planning a drive-through in the near future as a convenience to customers. The Prescription Shop doesn’t just fill prescriptions. As a Good Neighbor Pharmacy, they also sell vitamins, herbal products,

They rent mobility devices as well like wheelchairs, knee rollators, and walkers. Jones says that they try to carry some of the products you normally wouldn’t find in other stores, such as Father John’s cough syrups and drawing salves, which are used to cure blisters and extract splinters. They are looking to expand their homeopathic inventory and one thing you may not expect is a sizable and growing pet-care section.

At the shop, you also can get all the immunizations you would normally find at a pharmacy such as flu shots, pneumonia vaccines and Zostavax for shingles prevention. One incomparable benefit to shopping at your local pharmacy is the individualized attention you receive. “What people love about us is that we do get to know them, their families, and their health,” says Jones. “I have patients that

SHOP from page 18 have been here since the first owner. I have one customer who says he has never been in another pharmacy. His parents came here, so he was raised coming to this pharmacy.” The shop offers Medication Therapeutic Management services, a comprehensive review and analysis of a patient’s entire medical diet: prescriptions, overthe-counter medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements, etc. Some people don’t realize that things like herbal remedies can have an effect on other medications, says Jones. These services can either be implemented at the pharmacy or in the comfort of a patient’s home. One pressing concern for pharmacists is patients who lack understanding of what their medication is for, says Jones. This is especially the case with the elderly. “I had a pharmacist that sat for hours with a patient last week who brought in medication from years ago that he didn’t throw away. All of a sudden, he finds a bottle and starts taking it. That is a major concern to me.” The Prescription Shop provides unit dosing to help resolve this issue, which means that they prepare and label medications to make it clearer for customers

“What people love about us is that we do get to know them, their families, and their health. I have patients that have been here since the first owner. I have one customer who says he has never been in another pharmacy. His parents came here, so he was raised coming to this pharmacy.” Kim Jones

which medications they should take, and when. This can also help out families that don’t live with their elderly relatives, says Jones. While they accept all major insurance contracts they can get into, Jones says a big challenge is attaining the same insurance coverage as larger chains. Recently, Florida Managed Care began excluding certain pharmacies that may be more convenient to customers, instead forcing them into plans that require them sometimes to drive two hours’ round trip to fill their prescriptions, says Michael Jackson, CEO of Florida Pharmacy Association. There is currently a bill on the table, championed by Fort Pierce Congressman Larry Lee Jr. to repeal some of these exclusions.

Bessey Creek PTA brings Wizards for some fund raising magic Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

PALM CITY — Basketball players jump through hoops to make a future fundraiser a success for Palm City kids. “The Bessey Creek PTA is presenting this event (to raise money for a needed cover),” Mindy Feig, volunteer coordinator and president of public relations, said. “The reason we’re doing this fund raiser is because the playground for our children has absolutely no shade.” That’s right, recess in the wretched Florida sun for the students at Bessey Creek. Folks can help out by having a ball on Saturday, Feb. 13 when the Martin County Torpedoes take on the Harlem Wizards at Jensen Beach High School, 2875 N.W. Goldenrod Road. Gates will open at 1 p.m. and the fun will tip off at 2 p.m. So, who are these Wizards? “They’re similar to the Harlem Globetrotters,” Feig said. “They’re funny; they do antics.” The team’s been around since

1962, and it specializes in helping schools and non-profits raise money. According to the team’s website, www.harlemwizards.com, last year it helped raise more than $2 million for the community good. A lot of the team’s talent did stints on the original Globetrotters. The PTA has been working on getting shade for the students and teachers for a while. Last year the organization got some quotes. A local company offered to put up the cooling canopy for about $45,000. “We hoped we’d do a massive fund raiser and go out in the community,” Feig said. When the PTA found out that the playground was getting a makeover it changed the dimensions of the needed cover. So things are on hold until new specs are available. In the meantime the fundraising moves forward. “We’re hoping we can get the money raised this year and they can start school next year with the shade cover,” Feig said. Those who’d like to donate directly to the sunshade fund can contact Feig at bce.volcoordinator@ gmail.com.

Costco clarification

Champion Golf Carts

In “Costco takes their course” article in last week’s edition, resident John Gray was quoted as saying he counted 800 cars per hour at the Northlake Costco. We take this to mean 800 cars either entered or exited the site per hour constituting 800 driveway trips per hour or 8,000 trips daily. According to the Traffic Analysis performed by MacKenzie Engineering, the proposed Costco is expected to produce 8,511 driveway trips daily, 280 at the A.M. peak hour and 775 at the P.M. peak hour.

The choral department is helping out with the songs, so it’s all the performing arts departments. This is my first musical at South Fork and it was a suggestion from Annemarie Schwarz. It doesn’t have a large,

expansive set. I can focus on my strength, which is chorography. It’s a great show to showcase the kids. Each one can have a moment in the sun. There are 25 and some have solos and there are trios and quartets.” Bryan said that the show is an audience-pleaser. “It’s funny and heartwarming,” she said. “It will make you cry and make you laugh.

MARTIN COUNTY — Many people are familiar with the shows of John Kander and Fred Ebb, but they may not know who wrote them. Together, Kander and Ebb are responsible for shows including “Cabaret,” “Chicago,” “Funny Lady and “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” In 1991, a musical revue, “And the World Goes ‘Round” debuted off-Broadway as a showcase for the songs of the duo from their shows and films. The title of the revue comes from a song they wrote for Liza Minelli to perform in the film, “New York, New York.” South Fork High School’s drama department will present “And the World Goes ‘Round” Feb. 26-27 at the high school. The new drama teacher, Sheri Bryan, spoke about why this year is so special for her. Bryan is a Martin County native and a graduate of South Fork. She graduated in 1997 and her drama teacher was Annemarie Schwarz, the long-time drama instructor who retired this past year. “She’s been helpful and gracious, helping me figure out how the ropes work,” Bryan said. “She’s also doing the set design for this production.” Bryan went on from South Fork

Comedian, impressionist and actor comes to the Lyric to bring down the Full House FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

MARTIN COUNTY — Dave Coulier has been bringing laughter into the hearts of millions of Americans since the 1980s. He is most known for his role as “Joey” on the sitcom Full House, which ran from 1987-1995 and had 192 episodes. The show can still be seen on Nickelodeon and ABC Family Network lineups. He followed this success by hosting his second prime time hit series America’s Funniest People, which ran on ABC for four seasons. He is not only an accomplished actor, but also a stand-up comedian, voice over artist and talented impressionist. When asking Coulier about which role he prefers he simply says, “I am like the world’s biggest ball of twine, a bunch of different things all bundled up and I enjoy doing all of them.” There have been many different hats that he has been fortunate enough to be able to wear professionally.

“I am like the world’s biggest ball of twine, (I do) a bunch of different things all bundled up and I enjoy doing all of them.” Dave Coulier Coulier will be coming to the Lyric Theatre this Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. for his standup comedy show. When asked what we can expect, he said, “it will be an eclectic show mixed with many different things from stories about being a dad and his Fuller House cast mates to playing the harmonica.” Coulier describes himself as a “glorified birthday clown” who just likes to have fun on stage. As far as his impressions, Coulier explains that he has been doing impressions since he was a kid. He originally learned from his brother Dan who used to imitate relatives and people on the street where they grew up. He states that his brother and he used to lie in their bunk beds at night and do characters

back and forth for hours until their father would come in and tell them to knock it off and go to sleep. Coulier has copycatted many celebrity voices over the years including Rick Moranis, Bill Murray, Chris Rock, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor. When asked how many voices he does, he says it’s hard to place a number on. Coulier also plays hockey and does impressions of the guys he skates with, as well as his family members when he is visiting with them. Coulier was booked at the Lyric Theater through “Casey N Spaz Comedy.” Casey Peruski and Michael McGoorty have been producing comedy shows on the Treasure Coast for the past eight years in various venues including the Lyric Theater, the Sunrise Theater, the Port St. Lucie Civic Center and the Jupiter Performing Arts Academy. The duo are not just partners, but family, Peruski being McGoorty’s nephew. Their philosophy is “Laughter is the best medicine!” Peruski is a stand-up comedian himself who opened for Dave Coulier twice. The duo approached Coulier with the prospect of doing a show with him and he loved the idea. When asked of his new project Fuller House, Coulier describes it as a “Full House” 2.0, which

updates an operating system that fans are already very familiar with. It’s a show that will catch everyone up on where they are in their lives today. He says the show has a lot of familiarity and is still very funny, but they were not trying to go back in time and recreate an old feeling. They were trying to develop a more modern day feel where they can re-welcome everyone back into their lives in the current day. Coulier said that he has kept in touch with his Full House cast mates over the years and they have always remained very close. They see each other quite often and are still working on projects together currently. He refers to them with fondness. “We support each other through thick and thin. It’s a very special second family that I have.” Coulier shared that many of his Full House cast mates are working with him on his current project, “The Adventures of Jimmy Bugar”, a musical storybook that he is writing. “Nothing could ever top Full House because of the relationships that developed as a result of it and that is a gift,” said Coulier. The Full House experience, he says, has aloud him to met people who’ve become some of his best friends in life. Coulier is currently very busy

revue doesn’t have a story line, it tells a story. “It’s about life and what makes the world go ‘round: love, humanity, sadness,” she said. “The songs flow from one to the other.” This is the last public production for the year, but students are working on other projects. “In the class with advanced theater students, they’re working on ‘The Great Gatsby,’” Bryan said, “They’ll perform it for students who have read it in class. “They’re also working on community service with the Sheriff’s office and the fire department. It’s about a mock DUI and what it would be like to be in an accident. The students will write the 911 call and act it out. They’ll be actual responders ‘saving’ the students. It’s very moving and it makes it real. We’re trying to get it right before prom so everyone has a safe and fun time.” Bryan is trying an experiment with ticket sales this year. They are available online, but have a $1.50 service charge. She hopes that the ease of purchasing tickets this way will make it a popular move. Next year’s season isn’t ready to be announced, but Bryan has promised that you’ll be the first to know.

Tenor takes audience on musical voyage Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

STUART – Countertenor Terry Barber has traveled the world. A past member of the Grammy-winning ensemble Chanticleer, Barber has performed at the Metropolitan Opera House, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. He is also the founder of Artists for a Cause, an organization of performing and visual artists who receive support in order to use their talents to improve our community. Now Barber is taking the audience with him on a concert titled, “80 Minutes Around the World.” It will be presented at the Kane Center Feb. 7. “It’s the world’s favorite melodies in many different languages,” Barber said. “For France, it will be ‘La Vie en Rose,’ the song everyone would recognize and expect. It’s hard to pick one song to represent a country.” For Ireland, Barber has chosen “Danny Boy” and for Scotland, “Loch Lomond.” “It’s the ‘ooh-aah factor,’” he said. “Everybody already loves these melodies. Either people

know the song and associate it with the country, or they will after I get finished.” Barber will perform many of the pieces in their native languages, including Korean, but he said that audiences should not worry. Even the Korean piece has a melody that will be familiar to the audience. Barber will also make it a little easier for audiences to understand the songs. “Part of my program is helping people connect with art and have fun,” he said. “I tell them what to look out for and, in some cases, have translated a verse into English. Barber noted that while the songs may be familiar, the arrangements are not. “All of the arrangements are original to the program and created for me, so even though you’ve heard ‘Danny Boy,’ you’ve never heard this version.” Barber, who has deep connections in the music community, said that all of the arrangements are by award-winning composers. “Loch Lomond,” for example, was arranged by Garth Neustadter. “I met him through the Atlantic Classical Orchestra,” Barber said, “He had won a competition

Countertenor Terry Barber will present ‘80 Minutes Around the World’ at the Kane Center Feb. 7.

Photo courtesy of Thomas Winter and the orchestra was playing his music. It sounded like (Aaron) Copland and (Leonard) Bernstein had had a baby. His arrangements are gorgeous.” Barber will be singing “Waltzing Matilda,” and the arrangement has been done by Gordon Hamilton, director of the ensemble Australia Voices. Barber will explain some of the Australian words and then tell a little bit of the story. “Most people think of it as light,” he said, “It’s really quite dark and I’ll explain it.” For those wanting to hear more

of Barber, he will perform March 13 at St. Bernadette Church in Port St. Lucie. That concert series is run by Thomas Bold, a colleague of Barber’s at Chanticleer. Terry Barber presents “80 Minutes Around the World” Feb., 7 at the Kane Center, 900 S.E. Salerno Road, Stuart, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for Kane members and $20 for non-members. Call (772) 223-7800 or order online at www. kanecenter.org. For information about the March 13 program, call (772) 224-7089.

I am looking for an active and forever family. Full grown at 3 years old, I am energetic and will do best in a fenced-in yard where I can exercise and play. I am good natured, affectionate and 52 lbs. of enjoyment. I will need help with my medical treatment for heartworms, for which the shelter will pay. I will reciprocate with heartwarming kisses.
