MARTIN COUNTY — The 56th annual Martin County Fair & Youth Livestock Show is almost here! On Friday, Feb. 13, the gates will swing open at 4:30 p.m. with free admission until 8 p.m., along with unlimited rides for $20. “Come early, come often and bring the family along,” Jay Spicer, fair manager, said. “We have no less than 40 new programs at the fair for them to discover.” OK, admit it, rides. That’s what everyone thinks about first. How about Vertigo, a 90-foot-tall circular swing? After getting past that test for acrophobia, folks can head over the Super Shot, to slowly go up and quickly come down, completely trusting electromagnetism will beat gravity and bring the ride to a stop every time. The Super Slide features three 90-foot lanes of proof gravity can and does accelerate things until

2014 ends with strong jobs numbers Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

TREASURE COAST — Florida started 2014 on one side of 6 percent, and ended it on the other. “There are people who feel that things have not gotten better, but the numbers are there — the (jobs reporting) methodology has

not changed,” Odaly Victorio, communications coordinator at CareerSource Research Coast, said. On Friday, Jan. 23, the state released its monthly jobs report, which covered December. The Sunshine State’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.6 percent at the end of 2014, down from 6.3 percent the previous December. That state is back
to jobs numbers last seen in April of 2008, shortly before a sharp rise in unemployment that didn’t stop for two years and peaked at 11.4 percent in the first quarter of 2010. Unemployment had been steadily rising from the beginning of 2007 before then. Victorio said some job hunters on the Treasure Coast are still feeling pessimistic despite the proliferation of help wanted signs
and ads. “We have a little (post-traumatic stress disorder) when we think about what we went through the last few years,” she said. But double-digit unemployment that persisted in some areas of the state until last year is gone. The Florida Department of Eco-

nomic Opportunity reported that in December Hendry County had the highest unemployment rate of state’s 67 counties, 8.4 percent not seasonally adjusted, followed by Flagler, 7.6, but “There was no county with double-digit unemployment for December or November.” Martin County has fared the best of the four counties in the CareerSource Research Coast four-county region. It wrapped 2014 with the gold medal, a not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate at 5.3 percent. “The last time we were at 5.3 in Martin County, I think was 2003,” Victorio said. While Indian River grabbed the silver with 6 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment, St. Lucie County edged out Okeechobee for the bronze, with 6.2 percent over 6.3. Overall, the CareerSource Research Coast region ended 2014 with a 5.9 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate. St. Lucie and Martin form the Port St. Lucie Metropolitan Statistical Area. The MSA also had a 5.9 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate. At
the end of 2013, the not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.3 percent. The MSA now has about 194,000 participating workers. Slightly more than 183,000 had jobs in December. The unemployment rate is calculated using a variety of methods. Among them are telephone interviews with workers. Those that are able to work and report not having jobs, but looked for employment in the previous 30 days, are counted as unemployed. Discouraged workers — those who are able to work and want jobs, but have not sought employment in the previous 30 days — are not counted in the unemployment figure. Many call this “shadow unemployment,” and it’s inherently difficult to track due to variations for why people don’t seek jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the national labor participation rate — the percentage of those able to work, or seek jobs, that do, edged downward over the year from 63 percent to 62.7 percent. Participation rates are affected by a variety of factors that can be seen as positives and negatives. Florida and the Treasure Coast have had an increasing number of workers and lowering unemployment.

FAIR from page A1 the ground stops their advances toward Earth’s core. The smaller children have plenty of rides at the fair this year, too. There’s the Orient Express, a roller coaster that moms and dads can ride with their children. Pirate Island has multiple levels and plenty fun things for kids, such as punching bags, a cargo net, suspension bridges and 45foot covered slide. If rides aren’t thrilling enough, how about sharks? That’s new at the fair. “Our shark tank exhibit; they do shows every day,” Spicer said. Including a chance to see Martin County Commissioner Doug Smith face off with Jaws. Or, is that Jaws facing off with Smith? Either way, Smith will join other area luminaries to swim with vicious, man-eating sharks at the fair on Celebrity Day, Monday, Feb. 16. OK, Smith and others, such as Stuart Mayor Kelly Glass Leighton, won’t actually swim with Jaws to entertain folks at the Haai Shark Encounter. The sharks in that tank will be perfectly harmless. But — “There’s a great white museum that goes along with that,” Spicer said. As in the Great White Experience, which is going to be at the
fair, so folks can get a close look at the choppers Steven Spielberg scared the world silly with in 1975. Good news. No, really, as in the Good News. If the thought of getting around scary rides and sharks makes you want to find religion, the Cornerstone contemporary Christian band will pick up from where they normally play at Palm City Presbyterian Church and head to the Florida Outdoors Stage. That show will be at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 15. “I’ll be playing my drums again this year with our praise team, Cornerstone,” Spicer said. “We call it Night of Worship at the fair now. It’s a whole day of contemporary Christian music, gospel music, throughout the day.” Including the ShoreLife worship and praise band, Across the Skies, Faith World, and a contemporary service by Pastor Brad Kirby, First Baptist Church of Jensen Beach. But, not everything at the fair is a scary test of folks’ faith in the laws of physics and close encounters with nightmare-inducing lamniformes. Eudora Farms will be on hand with animals from around the world for children to learn about by touching. Pssst, there’ll be a grizzly bear at the fair, too. Uh, the kids probably won’t be petting that bear. While grizzly bears steal whatever
show they want to, other performers will be showing up at the fair this year. How about Dustin Lynch? He’ll be on state Monday, Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m. Tim Charron will open for him. Kari & Billy will be on hand Wednesday, Feb. 18. Other acts are Lee Milo, OPM, Wild Child, Keep the Faith, the Inverted, and others, such as J. Ray Carmichael Sr. who’ll be opening for somebody. Uh, who was that again? The Driftwood? Oh, no, it’s The Drift? No. Oh, yeah, the name’s right here “Under the Boardwalk.” “The Drifters are coming,” Spicer said. That’ll be on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at 4 and 7 p.m. The fair is, of course, all about the food, too. Yeah, there’s all the fattening, heart-clogging favorites. There’ll be lots of locally-grown, Martin County produce to take home to get healthy again after that food bender. “People will be very surprised by some of the produce grown here and sold to local restaurants,” Spicer said. To sweeten the pot, there’s going to be honey from Palm City at the fair. “There’s a couple growers who produce honey out this way,”

Clarinets way to bridge cultures Teaching artists with Clarinets for Conservation work with Tanzanian students during the group’s annual trip to the country. The group will hold a Clarinet Day Feb. 21 at Jensen Beach High School in support of the African outreach program.

MARTIN COUNTY — Katherine Palmer grew up in Palm City and attended Hidden Oaks Middle School and Martin County High School. The clarinetist attended the University of Miami and received as master’s degree in ethnomusicology and a doctorate in clarinet performance and pedagogy. Her master’s thesis was on social reform and music education, reflecting a long-standing interest in music as an instrument of change. In graduate school, Palmer met Michele Von Haugg, who founded Clarinets for Conservation. Von Haugg invited Palmer to come on the group’s annual trip to Tanzania, where they provide free musical instruction to secondary students. Tanzania was chosen because wood from the African Blackwood, or mpingo, the national tree of the country, is used to make clarinets, as well as oboes, piccolos and other instruments. Deforestation is occurring at an unsustainable rate and

PALM CITY — The Chamber of Commerce is urging businesses to log on and find out if they’re among the Best Places to Work in Martin County. The chamber is one of the sponsors for the annual educational contest. It’s conducted by CareerSource Research Coast. There’s more than awards and bragging rights to be had by answering 40 questions in 37 categories. Participating businesses get free, confidential 20-page reports that help them see how they stack up against others in the area. Gerry Hoeffner, owner of Personnel Dynamics, Fort Pierce, is facilitating Best Places to Work. He said this year, more than before, businesses need to wonder how their workers see them against other employers. “Many in businesses, in the business world, don’t realize it, but the unemployment rate has dropped over the last several years,” he said. “The pendulum is swinging to an economy where employees who’ve been holding onto their jobs are ready to walk.” Odaly Victorio, communications coordinator at CarrerSource, put it more succinctly. “The attitude of you’re lucky to have a job has changed to please stay,” she said. On Friday, Jan. 23, the state released its monthly jobs report, which covered December. The Sunshine State’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.6 percent at the end of 2014, down from 6.3 percent the previous December. That state is back to jobs numbers last seen in April of 2008. Martin County has fared the best of the four counties in the CareerSource four-county region. It wrapped 2014 with the gold medal, a not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate at 5.3 percent. While Indian River grabbed the silver with 6 percent not-seasonally adjusted unemployment, St. Lucie Coun-
ty edged out Okeechobee for the bronze, with 6.2 percent over 6.3. Overall, the CareerSource Research Coast region ended 2014 with a 5.9 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate. Hoeffner said business owners, or their representatives, can participate in Best Places to Work by logging onto the CareerSource web site, www.careersourcerc.com, during February and taking the survey found under the “Employers” tab. It takes about an hour. “More important than winning is getting the report about how they rate,” Hoeffner said. “They can use that to market and attract talent to their organization.” Or retain it. “The really talented (workers), the ones that know they’re good, understand that today they’re a commodity that can be sold, traded and bought,” Hoeffner said. “They figure that they may as well sell and trade themselves. Those are the ones you want to keep.” He said taking the Best Places to Work survey and getting the free report is a good starting place for attracting and keeping talented workers. “This is the cheapest management tool business owners can have,” he said. Other Best Places to Work sponsors are the Business Development Board of Martin County and the Stuart/Martin County Chamber of Commerce. Tim Dougher, executive director of the Business Development Board, said taking the survey can help companies save money by reducing turnover. He said companies that might be tempted to try to cut turnover by adding dollars to paychecks should take the Best Places to Work survey and see the report first. He said that less costly things, such as adding more flexibility to schedules, might be more important to area workers than a few more dollars. “It’s not just to win an award, but it’s important to (businesses’) employees,” he said.

Jamie Chapogas The investment dollars you place in a 529 plan can grow tax-deferred, and withdrawals are free of federal and state taxes, provided the money is only used for higher education expenses. (The earnings portion of withdrawals used for other purposes may be fully taxable, and might incur a 10 percent penalty, as well.) Plus, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible on your state taxes. Like your other non-retirement assets, a 529 plan will be assessed at up to 5.64 percent for FAFSA purposes. Some families, seeking to totally keep their 529 plan assets out of aid calculations, ask the grandparents to own the account. This could be a problem, though, because while the grandparents’ 529 plan won’t be reported as an asset on FAFSA, withdrawals from the plan will be treated as untaxed income to the beneficiary (i.e., the grandchild) on the next year’s FAFSA — and that can have a big impact on financial aid, a much bigger impact, in fact, than if the 529 plan was listed as a parental asset. Consequently, you might want to ask the grandparent to award

e’ve just begun the new year, but the next academic year is still months away. Nonetheless, if you have a child who will be attending college in the fall, it’s not too soon to start thinking about what might be a vital component of paying for his or her higher education: financial aid. Specifically, to help ensure that your child doesn’t miss out on federal and state student grants, work-study and loans for the 2015-2016 school year, you’ll want to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, as soon as possible. (You can start the application process by visiting http://www.fafsa. ed.gov/.) Even if you have a fair amount of financial assets, you should probably fill out a FAFSA. In the first place, all parents receive an “asset protection allowance,” based on the age of the older parent. For two-parent families, this allowance generally shelters between $25,000 and $50,000 in assets from FAFSA considerations; for single parents, the range is typically between $6,000 and $10,000. The allowance may be higher for parents 65 and older. Furthermore, in determining your expected family contribution, FAFSA won’t look at your pension plan, your IRA or your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement account. Those of your assets held outside retirement plans — the balances in your checking and savings accounts, CDs, investment real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and so on — will be counted in the FAFSA calculations, but as a parent, you will only be expected to contribute up to 5.64 percent of these assets, as opposed to assets held in your child’s name, which are usually assessed at 20 percent. You may want to pay special attention to one particular asset — the 529 plan. A 529 plan is a popular college savings vehicle, and for a pretty good reason:

Treasure Coast ALOAFest will be Saturday, Feb. 21, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2655 S.W. Immanuel Drive, Palm City. The event will be a day of learning, food, fun and challenge, for all adults and friends. The Rev. Dr. John D. Herman is the keynote speaker. Also featured on piano is David Ludwig Jr. of “Worship Through Music.”
Spicer said. Spicer said the fair gets about 70,000 to 75,000 visitors a year, and it’s all about Martin. “The fair is all volunteer run,” he said. “People bring their exhibits here. They show off their talents. The fair is the queen of the county, the biggest event of the county.” The money raised at the fair goes to good causes, too. “The fair gives back,” Spicer said. “The fairgrounds, we support 25 charities.” He added, “The fair itself, the parking lot,
two thirds of the money goes to the groups helping to run those lots that day. The ladies who take your tickets, they volunteer, but we make donations to the groups they represent.”

CLARINET from page A5 Clarinets for Conservation tries to bridge the gap between product and the product source. Palmer went to Tanzania when she finished her degrees and two and a half years ago, she came on board as assistant director of the organization. Although she is based in Phoenix, where she works at the Musical Instrument Museum, she returns to the Treasure Coast to do outreach several times a year. Her mother, Karin Palmer, lives in St. Lucie West. On Feb. 21, Clarinets for Conservation will hold a Treasure Coast Clarinet Day at Jensen Beach High School. Professional musicians, local K-12 students and community members are invited to participate in a day of group lessons, master classes and an evening performance. “We’ve invited students from Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties,” Palmer said. “There are great music programs here.” Jensen Beach High School was chosen as the site because of the enthusiasm of its students. In a written statement, Tom Dougherty, director of bands at the school, said he and his students were excited to be a part of the program. “The Jensen Beach High School Band is honored to be a part of

Dig out your dusty old trumpet or trombone from the closet and donate it to the Salvation Army. Gretchen Dewey, a Palm City resident and member of the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary, recently received a grant from Thrivent Financial to clean and repair donated instruments for the Salvation Army’s youth brass band. The band, consisting of children primarily from the East Stuart and Jensen Beach areas, started last year and has been steadily growing ever since. It is free and
open to anyone 8 and up who can attend the lessons every Wednesday at the Salvation Army offices on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Although the lessons are free, many of the children cannot afford to buy or rent an instrument. That’s where Dewey has stepped in. Dewey recognized the need for a used instrument drive and applied to lead an “Action Team” with Thrivent Financial, a Christian-based financial services organization whose members generously give in support of com-

Donations have started trickling in, but more instruments are needed. “I really appreciate the interest from the community and want to thank those who’ve given me in-

CLARINETS from page A10 garet Donaghue Flavin from the University of Miami, Ian Tyson, coming from New York, Michele Von Haugg, director of Clarinets for Conservation. Katherine Palmer, assistant director and Jenny Rosser of Indian River State College. Participation in the event costs $20 and all proceeds go to fund educational materials for Tanzanian students and to plant trees to replace those used to make musical instruments. For Katherine Palmer, the trips to Tanzania mean as much to the music educators as they do to the students. “The growth students show astonishes me,” she said. “It’s amazing that they can master these concepts so quickly. Our kids are focused not only on Western European music,

but they learn their own folk songs by year. They develop storing aural listening ability and a connection to the clarinet other than the tree. We also plant trees. We’re bridging the gap between the product source and the product. Most Tanzanians have never seen a clarinet. They can’t imagine that the wood creates the sound. It makes them think twice about the importance of the tree.” Clarinets for Conservation will present Treasure Coast Clarinets Day Feb. 21 at Jensen Beach High School, 2875 N.W. Goldenrod Road, Jensen Beach. The cost is $20 and includes a clarinet ensemble, group lessons, master classes, lunch and a T-shirt. To preregister, visit the website www.

DIABETES... is it just “a little sugar”? Thomas D. Kleinman, DC
Atlas Health and Wellness; 1516 SW Mapp Rd; Palm City • 772 781 9987
“Feel Better, Look Better, Live longer”
You’ve just not been feeling well; fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, poor sleep. You go to the doctor and he orders some tests. Your blood test reveals high blood glucose. From that point on you were given a new identity. You are told you are a type II diabetic and that life would likely never be the same again. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Diabetes is the fastest growing disease in history, not just in the U.S.A. but worldwide. One third of all Americans are diabetic or pre-diabetic. Today, even children are being diagnosed with type II diabetes, a phenomenon that was rare even 20 years ago. A fortunate 16% can be helped with diet and exercise. However, 84% have complications. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and high triglycerides usually accompany high blood glucose. Typically pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed and usually more and more of them are added over time. The combination of these artificial chemicals manipulates your diabetic symptoms to create a “rigged illusion” of balance and better health and, of course, these drugs are fraught with side effects that can make you feel even sicker. Despite the $174 Billion spent each year in the U.S.A. creating the modern pharmacy, diabetics, even after taking the latest and greatest drugs, have a greatly elevated risk of: Blindness, Kidney Failure, Lower Limb Amputations, Heart Disease, Stroke and Premature Death.
GOOD NEWS
Most Diabetes is preventable and reversible. The question must be asked “What led to diabetes in the first place?” To counter and reverse Diabetes we must move away from treating the symptoms and address the root cause of the problem. This approach is called functional medicine or functional wellness. Our environment has an enormous impact on our health. Environmental factors can be classified as affecting our 1.mental, 2.physical and 3.chemical balance through a process called epi-genetics. Epigenetics relates to the control of genetic expression that is unassociated with DNA. In other words there are outside factors that can influence your DNA to express a healthy response or a sick response from your genes. The effects of these outside factors can be tested using specific bio-markers. Every biological system has its own specific biomarkers. We can now Identify abnormalities in our three key areas and base a corrective treatment plan on those findings. So in essence, by specifically identifying chemical problems, environmental toxins, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, environmental burdens and overloads, food allergies and intolerances and infections, we can implement a treatment program based on that core data, rather than symptoms, and realize success in reversing diabetes and restoring good health. Functional Wellness systems not only aid in the detection and treatment of established disease, but can identify pre-clinical disease entities before they become a symptomatic crisis (in other words extremely early detection). Functional Wellness systems will provide you with the knowledge, the tools and the ability to take control of your health for a higher quality of living without the toxic side effects of pharmaceutical drugs or the irreversible effects of radical surgeries. THERE IS HOPE! Imagine living into your 80’s, 90’s, and even longer with health and vitality! We invite you to learn more about the Functional Wellness approach to restoring good health. Call us at 772 781 9987 and sign up for a consultation or for one of our Functional Wellness Workshops. The workshops are FREE ... and just may be the answer you’ve been searching for!!

What will be discussed?
PALM CITY — Jeffrey C. Wicina was a champion high school wrestler when his athletic career was cut short during a football game. A serious neck injury left Wicina quadriplegic. Faced with a lengthy rehabilitation, Wicina became determined not to let his physical challenges define his life. He graduated with his high school class in Kansas, went on to earn an MBA and pursued a career. Throughout this time, Jeff Wicina continued to help and inspire others until his death in 1999 at the age of 30. His parents, Bob and Sandi Wicina, now live in Palm City. His sister, Dr. Genon Wicina, is a local pediatrician. The family has decided to continue Jeffrey’s legacy of hope, determination and achievement by establishing the Jeffrey Wicina Memorial Endowment for Challenged Youth at the YMCA of the Treasure Coast. The goal, said Bob Wicina, “is to help challenged youth in the community ‘reach for the light’ in achieving their athletic goals.” In fact, Reach For the Light is the motto for the program, which began as a wrestling scholarship through the Greater Kansas City
Community Foundation. But, since, the family has relocated to Martin County, “we thought it was appropriate to move the fund to this community,” Bob Wicina said. “The YMCA is the perfect organization for us to establish a perpetual endowment that will continue our mission.” A $22,000 donation from the Wicina family, combined with $30,000 from the YMCA, will provide access to athletic programs for residents with physical and mental challenges, said Charlene Foster, the Y’s director of development. Bringing perspective and expertise to the program is Larry Schultz of Port St. Lucie, a competitive cyclist who won two bronze medals in the Paralympics and 10 gold medals in national competition. He conducts his time trials in Tradition. “So many people helped me achieve my dreams as a competitive athlete that it will be a privilege to help others do the same,” said Schultz, who has cerebral palsy. He continues to compete in time trials and has recently taken up duathlons. The YMCA is a cause-driven charity that focuses on youth

St. Lucie County had a suicide rate below the state average in 2013, a crude rate of 14.4 per 100,000 people. Martin had a rate above the state average for three consecutive years as of 2013. That year, the crude rate was 21.5 per 100,000 people. In 2013, there were 2,892 suicide deaths in Florida, a crude rate of 15 per 100,000 people. There were about 180,000 deaths in the state in 2013. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that in 2013 suicide was the 10th leading cause of death in the nation, at a rate of about 12.6 deaths per 100,000 people. To put it in perspective, kidney disease edged out suicide for ninth place, and it followed influenza and pneumonia, along with diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and strokes. The

Every one of those suicides affected innumerable people in unknowable ways. While the walk and educational program are a fundraiser for the foundation, it’s open to all. “It’s not required to offer money, people can come and walk in the name of someone they lost,” Marshall said. The Treasure Coast walk is one of about 300 planned. This year, the foundation expects about 100,000 walkers will help raise about $17.5 million. Marshall said that men at retirement age are the most likely to commit suicide. She said there are many reasons why. However, she said the largest reason is humanity’s innate need to be needed. “A big factor is feeling worthwhile in your life,” she said. The centers estimate that men are about four times more like-

One 10-minute lung cancer screening can put both your minds at ease.
Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer. Symptoms usually appear in the latest stages, when it is the deadliest. Low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs for current and former smokers can detect lung cancer at the earliest stages before symptoms appear, improving the cure rate to as high as 90 percent. – Martin Health System is now offering a low-dose CT screening test for only $99 for those at high risk.

DARKNESS from page A22 ly than women to successfully commit suicide. Men account for about 80 percent of all suicide deaths. One reason for that is men seem more likely to use the suicide tool that’s the most effective: guns. About 56 percent of men who kill themselves use firearms. Marshall said one of the most important tools to prevent suicide is talking and non-judgmental listening. “I hear that you can’t say ‘suicide’ to the doctor or you’ll go to the hospital,” she said. That’s not necessarily true, Marshall said. “There’s a continuum when it comes to suicide,” she said. “There’s sticking your toe in the water to picking a day and saying I’m going to do it by this means. There can be a lot of steps in between.” Marshall added, “What I always tell my clients that almost everyone has had this thought of wanting to disappear or just fall off the planet. It’s a symptom of something else bigger that’s going on.” By talking, she said, folks can identify what’s making them sad and address those problems. Check in for the walk starts at 9 a.m. The walk starts at 10 a.m.

life threatening situations. Their programs have helped to heal and elevate victims of abuse, both men and women, as well as their families. Now the organization is proud to add supported living to the services that it can provide to women as they evolve from victim to survivor. Using a state capital improvement grant of $440,000 as a springboard to launch a capital campaign, SafeSpace has invested the early proceeds into their buildings in Indian River and Martin counties. In Indian River, the shelter has been transformed to make supported living available for women without children. These women, who generally will have come to SafeSpace through the emergency shelters in both counties, will be able to reside in the supported living program for up to 18 months while they take steps toward independence through programs offered, as well as seek employment if needed. “Too often victims of abuse who come to domestic violence shelters like SafeSpace will return to their former home and find themselves victims again at the hands of their abuser,” said Jill Borowicz, CEO of SafeSpace. “Financial dependence often plays a role in that decision, so supported living services will help many survivors get a fresh start, have a safe and affordable place to live, and continue to take advantage of our life-changing programs.” The Indian River facility will continue to offer emergency support to victims of domestic violence 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The full line of programs also remains available to victims and their families, as well as the outreach and education programs that focus on prevention and awareness. But now the facility can house up to 12 women in the supported living program, helping
to fill a serious void in this type of service on the Treasure Coast. The Martin County facility has also received an upgrade. An addition to that shelter has raised the capacity to 48 beds for women and their children who face life-threatening abuse and require emergency support. All of the other programs previously offered in Martin County remain available for victims and their families, as well. “These physical changes to both of our facilities will enable us to elevate the level of support and the blanket of safety that we provide to victims throughout the Treasure Coast. Emergency services, our wide range of programs for victims and their families, our new supported living services, and our efforts around prevention and education enable us to have even greater impact as we help victims of domestic violence become survivors,” said Borowicz. SafeSpace is a nonprofit organization that operates programs in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties where families can escape to a safe environment. SafeSpace offers victims of domestic violence safety, support and education, empowering them to create an independent life free from violence. Emergency shelter, supportive living, and outreach programs and services are available for victims throughout the Treasure Coast. SafeSpace offers services to all victims of domestic violence and their dependents regardless of race, gender, age, religion, political belief, national origin, immigration status, physical or mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation or language spoken.

Son honors father’s legacy STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — Composer Frank Loesser and his wife, singer Lynn Garland, used to perform Loesser’s song, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” at New York parties. “It was a party song for my parents, son John Loesser, executive director of the Lyric Theatre, said. “They only performed it at parties. When he wrote it, you only got invited (to parties) if you could do a song. They were invited to every party to do the song. Then my father sold it for the movie, ‘Neptune’s Daughter.’ He hadn’t told my mother. She wanted to kill him until it won an Academy Award. Then she forgave him.” Loesser wrote the lyrics and music to Broadway hits “Guys and Dolls,” and “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.” He won Tony awards for both shows and shared the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the latter with Abe Burrows. A prolific writer, he composed more than 700 songs, including “See What the Boys in the Back Room will Have,” “Once in Love with Amy,” “Standing on the Corner,” “Thumbelina, “What are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” and “Heart and Soul.” You can hear a host of Frank Loesser’s music Feb. 23, when the Lyric Theatre presents “More of

Loesser,” a musical revue directed by Barry Day and featuring Billy Stritch, Klea Blackhurst, Eric Yves Garcia and Marissa Mulder. In an interview, John Loesser spoke about how the show came about and how he strives to preserve his father’s legacy. “It was a conversation that started a year ago at the Kravis Center,” he said. “I had a lovely lunch with Barry Day, who wanted to do a Loesser show with cabaret artists at the Kravis and here. It’s the first cooperative venture between the Kravis and Lyric. A lot of people do revues, but this is more cabaret, more intimate. The performers are expert in musical phrasing and what cabaret is, and the Lyric is the perfect venue. It’s an opportunity to hear a lot of my father’s music. We should title the show, ‘I Didn’t Know He Wrote That.’ There are wonderful songs and people know them. They have no idea he wrote them. It’s fun for me.” Loesser said that even in a less well-known song, you can see his father’s genius. “You can see how smart he was. “The music and lyrics move the plot probably better than with any other composer. He was a genius in moving the plot though music and lyrics. A song like ‘Adelaide’s Lament’ (from ‘Guys and Dolls’) is absolutely true to the character. Frank Loesser

LOESSER from page B1 The dialogue and music move perfectly.” Loesser noted that his father could write a song to order. “He could write on a dime,” he said. “Someone would run in and say they needed a song for Dorothy Lamour on an island and he’d write ‘The Moon of Manakoora’ in literally hours. When they wrote something really good, they trunked it until they had the right vehicle.” For the son, knowing the back story of his father’s work and being the keeper of his legacy remain fun. “It’s how current it still is after all these years,” he said. “The song, ‘What are You Doing New Year’s Eve’ is played every year before Christmas and is on Christmas albums. The original intent was for it to be sung after New Year’s Eve, that they’d be together until the next New Year’s Eve.’” Frank Loesser was a savvy businessman as well as a brilliant composer. “Irving Berlin and my father were the first to start their own publishing companies to protect their music,” John Loesser said. “My father also started the first music theater licensing company.” That company, now Music Theater International, licenses shows for the use of student and community theaters. Loesser said he doesn’t not know exactly which songs will be featured in the show. The good news is that there is not a bad one in the bunch.

Pet of the week
Jerry
I am a handsome 8 year-old grey and white feline who wishes to be your one and only! I am a bit shy but once I feel secure, I love belly rubs, talking to you and being petted. I am 14 lbs. of sweetness.
I am a fun-loving and people-loving 4 year-old affectionate Coonhound. I will need help with my medical treatment for heartworms, for which the shelter will pay. I am a good boy who will be right by your side wiggling my happy body and sharing endless heart-warming kisses.
