Purim party
Fighting for the injured But that’s just her day job Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Left, Rabbi Shlomo Uminer spins his gragger with other members of the Chabad Jewish Center in Palm City during the reading of the Megillah in celebration of Purim on Sunday, Feb. 24. The crowd boos and makes noise at the mention of Haman, the noise of the gragger attempting to drown out the sound of his name. In the story, Haman’s plot to kill the Jews was foiled by Mordecai and Queen Esther. Above, dressed in costume for the Purim celebration, Mason Healy, 3, waits his turn at the Chabad Jewish Center in Palm City Sunday, Feb. 24. Purim is a festive celebration where children and adults dress in costume to honor Queen Esther and how she hid her identity as a Jew at the beginning of the Purim story.
Haddox makes ‘cents’ of budget New commissioner talks fiscal matters with residents of Palm City community By Tom Schram For Your Voice News & Views Newly elected Martin County Commissioner John Haddox gave a stark assessment of Martin County finances at a Feb. 21 meeting at the Whispering Sound clubhouse in Palm City. “We’re $7 million behind in roads. We’re underfunded for the inlet (dredging) and to me it is a
bleak picture that this board needs to grapple with very quickly,” said Martin, who was sworn in late last year as the new District 5 commissioner. Haddox also said that previous county budgets did not include maintenance costs on items such as library roofs, air conditioning and certain other public properties such as Indian RiverSide Park. He said he has asked staff to include maintenance projections in the next budget.

STUART — Most residents of the Treasure Coast have seen billboards featuring the picture of attorney Lauri Goldstein. In the area of personal injury law, a field dominated by men, she is a rarity. She came to her specialty after years in the insurance industry. “I saw that insurance companies weren’t fair to people who were injured,” she said. “I left and started representing injured people. You pay insurance premiums for years and then you get into an accident and the companies turn their backs.” Goldstein’s family moved from New York to Florida when she was 6. She
attended Florida Atlantic University and the law school at Michigan State University. When her mother became ill with cancer, she returned to Florida to stay. Becoming a personal injury lawyer some 20 years ago was a challenge. “It was a different era,” Goldstein said. “It was more conservative and there was a certain decorum that is totally different than it is today. There was an old trial boy’s network that it was hard to break in. It was hard to penetrate through that network.” Goldstein was a single practitioner for 18 years. Several years ago, Tom Schmitt and Richard Wade became partners. “I’ve known Tom Schmitt for 10

If you have an accident The website of Goldstein, Schmitt & Wade offers the following tips for those in an accident: • Pull over to the side of the road, if it is safe to do so • Check yourself and passengers for injury • Call the police, even if the accident seems minor. All injuries may not show up immediately • Take down all the information you can, get statements from witnesses and write down details • Do not accept money from the at-fault driver or make any agreements. Only sign papers form law enforcement. • Remain calm and polite and answer questions • Call your insurance company is soon as is possible “I love truTV,” she said. “I like murder mysteries. I don’t really watch trials. I’ve litigated too many cases, so I really try to stay away from watching that.” Many of Goldstein’s clients are elderly people who have fallen because property was not maintained. “Medicare only pays a cer-
tain amount, so we have to file a claim. I pride myself that as a woman, I take more time. In this firm, we have people from all walks of life and all personalities. We’re very compassionate with our clients and we spend a lot of time with them. When children are killed or maimed, those are the hardest for me.”

When I get home, I have a second job with my husband, son and daughter.” She does find time for hobbies and interests. “I love gardening and flowers,” she said. “If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d be a florist. (Flowers) are life. Gardening is one of my favorite things to do.” She is also a fan of opera and reality television.

Haddox is the new chair of the chair of the St. Lucie Inlet Advisory Committee and he said that finances for necessary dredging are “going to be a significant problem.” “How are we going to pay $10 million every three of four years to dredge the inlet? There is no money. Ten years from now, some board is going to be faced with some very big tax increases.” Haddox said a half-cent county sales tax had been proposed by committee members to pay for dredging costs. He said that he generally opposed raising taxes. “Before we do a half-cent sales tax, we have to figure out that if the inlet only needs $3 million and the half-cent sales tax brings in $10 million, we don’t want to give a bunch of commissioners an extra $7 million a year to play with,” he said. But he said road and maintenance costs were problems that were not going away. “We’re digging ourselves deeper and deeper, so that would have to be part of the half-cent sales tax.” Haddox also told the gathering of about 40: • The Martin County Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, guided by former commissioner Maggy Hurchalla, was moving along on schedule. • The Business Development Board has agreed to renegotiate its contract. “The number of years is unacceptable. The current contract is for 10 years and it has us locked in.” • County impact fees for new businesses were high “beyond common sense” and would be reviewed. • The proposed U.S. Customs Office at Witham Field would not produce projected revenues and would be reviewed along with other airport issues at an upcoming workshop. • He favors a compromise on the proposed Jensen Beach mooring field, which has drawn fire from environmentalists. Haddox said the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan has “gone through Chapter 1; Chapter 2 is coming up in March and it is progressing very well” thanks largely to Hurchalla’s leadership. “I think she’s an amazing person who has helped make Martin County the place that it is,” Haddox said. Haddox said that the Martin County Business Development Board contract “has to be changed.” “The public/private contributions to fund the board are
www.YourVoiceWeekly.com “The airport had been laying low for years, but it was simmering. And it started simmering more when we added customs. We’re not going to generate the maritime income projected. We’re not satisfied with the income projections.” John Haddox County commissioner District 5 probably the worst in the state of Florida,” he said. “We’re somewhere around 90 percent public funded, 10 percent private sector funded.” He said the average contribution ratio to business development boards in Florida was close to 50-50. “They must operate under a system that would show us a return on investment,” he said. “We’re giving them over $625,000 a year and we don’t know to this day whether that’s a good way to spend our tax dollars. Performance measures have to be in the contract.” Impact fees recently went through a first round of public discussion, Haddox said. “These are fees that developers have to pay to come in and set up a business in Martin County,” he said. “Our transportation is where the big increase is. Common sense tells me that we shouldn’t have a big increase in transportation impact fees because we have operated under a plan that has provided dense populations within our urban service districts.” Haddox said that construction impact fees also seem high because the downturn in the economy has actually lowered the cost of construction. “They should both be low, but they’re not,” he said. An airport workshop to examine a variety of issues is tentatively scheduled for April. Haddox said that the proposed U.S. Customs facility that would allow both airplanes and boats to clear customs locally at Witham Field will be a big part of that workshop. “The airport had been laying low for years, but it was simmering. And it started simmering more when we added customs. We’re not going to generate the maritime income projected. We’re not satisfied with the income projections.” Air traffic and ensuing noise have also become hot-button issues. “I’ve determined that there are ways that we can control the

BRIDGE from page 4 a bit of sightseeing and conversation. “I call them lover’s leaps, where they can do the Romeo-and-Juliet thing if they want,” project administrator George Denti said. “These bridges become destinations for pedestrians. It’s the best of all worlds. We build these bridges not only for cars but pedestrians.” In addition to four lanes with additional turning lanes at the ends, the bridge’s 120-foot girth will sport 10-foot shoulders for pedestrians and bicyclists. For the last few weeks, bridge construction has been troublesome for river traffic. “We’ve had the main waterway channel closed seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to allow for the beam setting,” Denti said. The bridge spans a portion of the St. Lucie River that is part of the Okeechobee Waterway, a 1937 Army Corps of Engineers project that connected natural waterways to create a 152-mile shortcut across Florida. “There is a significant amount

It’s the best of all worlds. We build these bridges not only for cars but pedestrians.” of commercial traffic shipped from Tampa to the East Coast,” Denti said. “The alternative route is around the Keys. It’s the Panama Canal of Florida.” But, those closures are done. Last month workers were onto the superstructure, pouring the 19 riding surfaces, called decks. That work continues. “We poured two more decks,” Denti said. “We’ve poured through Span 8. We set the main stand girders.” When done, the bridge is projected to carry about 28,000 trips a day, relieving traffic from the Palm City Bridge. Additionally, the new bridge will help Martin poise to get some development going again. The Palm City Bridge has been over capacity for about a decade, preventing some new construction. The Martin County Board of County Commissioners in 2011 voted to name the 3,100-foot structure Veterans Memorial
Bridge. The Federal Highway Administration is funding the $65 million construction through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It was slated to be finished by summer, but there have been some delays. Construction started in April, 2011. Denti said work should be done by September. Beth Zsoka, public information officer, said she’s continuing to get numerous requests from area organizations for presentations about the new bridge. “We have a Rotary Club presentation coming up, and the Palm City (firefighters) coming for a tour,” she said. “We’re also going to be meeting with a homeowners association.” For information about work progress, visit indianstreetbridge.com. For information about group presentations, call (772) 283-4323, or e-mail Zsoka at beth@qcausa.com.

BUDGET from page 6 number of flights because of the fees,” Haddox said. “And I’ve determined that we can control the noise.” Haddox said that about $400,000 of taxpayer money had already been spent on the proposed Jensen Beach Moorings field — a 37-acre area south of Jensen Beach Causeway and west of the Intracoastal in the Indian River Lagoon. A mooring field is an area on water where multiple buoys are installed. Opponents of the field fear that sea grass will be harmed. Proponents deny that. “We have conflicting reports coming in,” Haddox said. “Until we get to the bottom of that, I won’t sacrifice sea grass for a mooring field. Sea grass is too important.” An alternative plan would install 25 mooring buoys but would not finance upland facilities unless and until the field’s impact on sea grass is determined. “I think there’s room for a reasonable compromise and that’s where I’m headed,” Haddox said.

Can the Martin County baseball team carry the winning through the postseason? By Patrick Bernadeau For Your Voice News & Views MARTIN COUNTY — For the past couple regular seasons, the Martin County High School baseball team has shown their muscle and established themselves as the best baseball team in the area. However, the problem for head coach Jerry Smith has come in postseason play as the promising years for his Tigers were tamed
with sudden and disappointing conclusions. In 2011, after defeating Port St. Lucie High School twice in the regular season by a combined score of 28-3, the Tigers suffered a shocking 9-0 loss to the Jaguars in the District 14-5A tournament championship game, ending their season with a record of 17-4. Last season, the Tigers completed a historic 24-1 regular season with two addition wins to capture their first district championship since 2006. Unfortunately, all of the momentum and good vibes came to a screeching

New Yorkers Paul and Amy Harvey made a special trip to Tradition Field for an intimate experience they said their three sons don’t get at CitiField. “We get up close with the players,” Harvey said. “You can’t do that in New York.” “I like getting things signed by the players,” Harvey’s son, Brett, 10, said.

Entering the 2013 campaign, Smith set a goal to his players that is as clear as day. “We have to win a playoff game,” Smith said, who is entering his ninth season as head coach. “We haven’t done that in quite a while.” “We were 26-2 last year, actually 26-1 going into the playoffs, but we lost. Granted, we lost to the eventual state champions, but we got to win a playoff game. If the season is deemed to be a success, we have to win in the postseason. “ How far the Tigers go hinges on the consistency of the bats in

Lowe, a self-professed Mets fanatic, wore a straw hat adorned with dozens of Mets pins dating back to the ‘60s. “Every time I come here I’m on a natural high, whether it’s the babies or the big guys,” said Lowe who purchased property in Port St. Lucie 25 years ago when the Mets began training in St. Lucie West.

Six starters from that team have graduated. Returning to the lineup is junior first baseman Jeremy Vasquez, who led the team with a .494 batting average and was named to 2012 ESPN-HS Florida’s All State Baseball Team. “He’s such a smart hitter,” Smith said. “He doesn’t try to pull the ball. He takes what they give him. They throw him away and away, but he just goes with it.” The strength of the Tigers is the depth of arms throwing from the pitching mound. “The pitching is pretty much all back from last year,” Smith said. “We got some arms, that’s PASS not going to be the issue.”

Tigers avenged defeat to St. Petersburg, going to Lakeland By Patrick Bernadeau For Your Voice News & Views MARTIN COUNTY — After being denied the year before by St. Petersburg, the Martin County High School boys basketball team learned revenge is a dish best served at home. Behind the relentless attack of senior point guard Jermohn Queen and the late game spark provided by junior Densen Lumene, Martin County earned a spot in the Class 7A Final Four after defeating St. Petersburg 62-53 in the Region 3-7A championship game in front of their raucous Tiger faithful at the Don Wallen Athletic Complex in Stuart Saturday night. For the first time since 1987 and seventh time in school history, the Tigers will appear in the state basketball tournament. “Credit goes our kids who put everything they had on the floor tonight,” Martin County boys basketball head coach John Leon said following the triumph. “I think the kids wanted it a little bit more than (St. Petersburg) did tonight.” “I’m just happy for the town, the area and the school. We are going to states.” A season earlier, Martin County was denied a chance to play in the Final Four after the Green Devils were on the victorious end of a dramatic 77-76 Region 3-7A final score in St. Petersburg. This year’s contest was played at a drastic difference in pace, but featured the same intensity. Martin County jumped out to
The leading causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease, and a family history of kidney failure. “If you think you may be at risk for kidney disease, ask your doctor for tests, including blood, urine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) tests that can determine how well your kidneys are functioning,” added Dr. Libman. “They should be done at least once a year so that if you have early kidney disease, it can be treated right away.”

a 9-0 lead to begin the contest, with the crowd chanting “Beat St. Pete” at a frenzied pitch. However, any thoughts of a blowout were methodically erased as the Green Devils crawled their way out of the early hole. St. Pete took their first lead of the contest midway through the second quarter, taking advantage of poor Tiger outside shooting (only one 3-point basket made in the first half). When trying to penetrate to the rim, Queen and senior Nick Marder were met by the tall Green Devil frontcourt defenders protecting the basket. “They’re big,” Leon said. “I mean, they have guys that are 6’ 7” and 6’ 8” while we are starting a number of guys under 6 feet tall. It was a struggle with those big guys.” St. Petersburg held a fourpoint lead at halftime and at the end of the third quarter. While on several occasions the Tigers were able to cut the deficit down to a single possession, they seemed simply incapable of putting together a string of quality possessions to get over the hump. To make matters worse, Trey Graham, the Tigers 6-foot, 5-inch starting center, had to play the last 15 minutes of the game a foul away from being disqualified. The crowd needed a spark, as concern was palpable across the arena. Following a corner 3-point field goal from senior Alton Edwards to start the fourth quarter, Lumene would hit fire. Lumene would

Seacoast National Bank to dedicate Memory Field in honor of child abuse victims For Your Voice News & Views MARTIN COUNTY — Seacoast National Bank will host a dedication for the 2013 CASTLE Memory Field on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 5:30 p.m. in its Colorado branch lobby. The public is invited. The Memory Field is installed annually at Seacoast National Bank’s headquarters on the corner of Colorado Avenue and U.S. 1. Each flag represents a child who died at the hands of abuse or neglect in Florida last year. This year’s memory field will fly 126 flags. “Seacoast is proud to sponsor the Memory Field and support CASTLE’s efforts to prevent child abuse,” said Tom Wilkinson, Sea-
coast National Bank’s Treasure Coast president. “This is a memorial for the entire community to embrace. It serves as a somber reminder of the high cost of child abuse — a problem that exists right here on the Treasure Coast.” CASTLE is an acronym for Child Abuse Services, Training and Life Enrichment. The organization’s mission is to improve the quality of family life by providing community education, support and resources for parents in need of assistance.

FINAL from page 14 score nine of his 11 points in the final period, including a Euro-step floater through traffic in the lane midway through the final period to give the Tigers their first lead since early in the second quarter. The two teams would later trade baskets, but with the score knotted up at 50, Lumene scored what proved to be the go-ahead point at the free throw line with 3:21 remaining in the game. Martin County would not look back. “The whole year, my job is to bring energy off the bench,” Lumene said. “Coach asked for me to step up and that’s what I tried to do.” Although several attempts came after the game essentially was decided, the difference in the fourth quarter was Martin County’s ability to get to the charity stripe. The Tigers got to the freethrow line 15 more times than their opponent (18-3), converting on 13 attempts (Martin County outscored St. Petersburg by 13 points in the last quarter). Despite the defensive resistance the Green Devils were able to put up for most of the game,

the disparity at the free throw line was a product of Tigers’ continued aggression of the offensive end. They finally broke through. “Coach kept telling us ‘we’re going to hit (our shots),’” Queen said. “He was saying to keep attacking the lane and don’t be so timid. Run right through them.” Playing his final game as a Tiger on his home court, the victory was especially gratifying for Queen. The year before, Queen scored a game-high 37 points against St. Petersburg, but walked off in defeat. He couldn’t be happier that the roles were reversed this time around. “Last year, they were at home and they made us cry on their court,” Queen said. “We wanted to make them feel what we felt last year. Being that we were able to play the team that beat us last year, it makes it even sweeter.” St. Petersburg guard Terrell Burney led all scoring with 24 points. Queen was the highest scoring Tiger with 20 points. Marder added 12 points. On Friday, the Tigers will travel to the Lakeland Center in Lakeland to play Evans High School from Orlando at 2:30 p.m. “We want to win at states,” Marder said. “We aren’t done yet.”

The members of Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Fort Pierce are already hard at work preparing for their 34th Annual Greek Festival, one of the oldest and best Greek Festivals on the Treasure and Space coasts. As always, the best attractions to the festival are the tasty Greek foods and the very energetic Greek dancers. Greek foods are prepared on the premises by members of the church and include offerings from the Taverna, the Gyro Stand and the Greek Kafenio (coffee shop). The Taverna mouth-watering specialties include full dinners (lamb shank, Greek meatballs, dolmades, moussaka), and appetizers (Greek salads, cheese and spinach pies) and much more. The Gyro Stand features ever-popular Greek-style sandwiches such as the Gyro, and marinated and grilled pork or chicken souvlaki made on grilled pita bread. At the Greek Kafenio the loukoumades (deep fried Greek honey balls) and good cup of Greek coffee are something to die for. At the Greek Pastry counter, stop to take home some of our special sweet treats like baklava (the traditional Greek pastry of chopped nuts and spices wrapped in layers of buttered filo dough and drenched in honey) and paximadia (the Greek version of biscotti) to name just two of the many items offered. Our Greek Deli features many of the items you need for cooking Greek such as feta cheese,
Kalamata olives, olive oil, spices, pastas, pita bread and more. Our Greek Bookstore offers Greek cookbooks, and many gift items as well as religious books and articles. The Greek Wine Cellar offers a selection of imported and domestic beers as well as Greek wines. A nice glass of red wine goes well with your meal from the Taverna. Many outside vendors return to our festival year after year offering a wide variety of unique clothing, hats, music, jewelry, and other items you will find nowhere else. And of course, the most popular entertainment at the festival is our Saint Nicholas Greek Dancers. Since September, the youth of the church have been practicing and adding to their repertoire of dances for your enjoyment. The troupe of dancers is divided by age into three groups, the beginners, the middlers and the seniors, and each group will amaze you with their skill and the liveliness of their dance selections. You won’t want to miss one of their performances. They are accompanied by the Hellenic Band providing a wide selection of Greek music from the Greek mainland as well as the many islands of Greece, each with its unique style. So come out and join us on March 1, 2 and 3. We are located at 2525 S. 25th St. in Fort Pierce, just three-tenths of a mile south of Virginia Avenue. Parking is free, so bring a carload of friends with you. Admission the festival is just $3 per person over the age of 8.

STUART — Even Jake Sanders, who thinks big, couldn’t imagine the success of his new venture, Curtain Call Productions. In an interview in October, Sanders was preparing for his first season at the Frances Langford Theatre at the Kane Center in Stuart. As the season begins to wind down, Sanders has moved to the Flagler Center, part of the Lyric Theatre. “A New Brain,” an edgy musical, will appear there from March 22-24. For his April production, “Next to Normal,”
the company will move again, this time to the Lyric’s Main Stage. That’s a lot of success when you remember that Jake Sanders is 19. His 20th birthday will take place in April, during “Next to Normal’s” run. “It’s been a crazy ride,” he said. “I really have met a lot of people through the Lyric. They give me inspiration, that maybe I’m not crazy. I think we’ve found a good fit in the Lyric.” Right now, Sanders is preparing to stage “A New Brain,” the musical by William Finn, who wrote “Falsettos” and “25th Annual Putnam

COMPANY from page 22 County Spelling Bee.” It is a musical, but don’t think “The Music Man.” “A New Brain” is about a man, Gordon Schwinn, who thinks he is dying of a brain tumor. He spends some of the play in a coma. The show is based on events in Finn’s life when, he, too, feared he was dying of a brain tumor. Sanders will star in the show, along with Broadway veteran Anna McNeely, who plays his mother. “It’s a great story,” he said. “There are so many poignant moments. It’s so witty. You’re laughing and a split second later crying. Gordo is so apathetic. He has a cynical view of life when he starts out. He’s quick to jump to ‘I’m dying, deal with it,’ rather than fighting for it. When he does deal with it, he becomes someone who appreciates every minute.” Sanders is pleased to have McNeely in the cast. “She plays my overbearing, wacky, crazy mother,” he said. “She originated the role of Jennyanydotts in ‘Cats’ on Broadway and was in the original cast of ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ There’s a beautiful song, ‘The Music Still Plays On,’ that she sings when she thinks Gordo is dying. All of her life, people are leaving her. Gordo’s dying is just another way
of leaving her.” It’s not giving away the story to say that Gordo survives. He does go into a coma, which is a sequence in the musical. “It’s a musical within a musical,” Sanders said. “It’s a very dream-like 20 minutes. You get to see what he’s thinking. It’s very funny because he sees everyone and no one hears him. There are a lot of show-stopping numbers. “Gordo comes out with an appreciation of life,” Sanders said. “He stops fretting about the little things. When you see something like this, it reminds us of how lucky we are.” Sanders is getting ready to announce his second season and he’s very excited about it. He hopes to be able to keep ticket prices low. “Tickets are $15 for students,” he said. “I know what it’s like to not be able to afford to go to the theater. I want to keep it affordable. The Lyric is behind me, to foster a younger generation of theater-goers. (Our play) ‘Ordinary Days’ had the youngest house they’d seen.” Sanders has taken a semester off from IRSC to attend to his burgeoning enterprise. It is hard work being an impresario. “It’s good I’m doing this when I’m so young,” he said. “I’ll be too

Dr. Sohl is on the forefront of implant placement. He has a dental CAT scan unit on premises for computer guided implant placement protocols for Nobel Biocares All-on Four/Teeth in a DayTM procedures. All-on-Four/Teeth in a DayTM was developed to minimize the number of implants required to anchor a complete set of dentures. A full arch can be replaced with four implants in a single visit, as opposed to as many as eight implants and multiple office visits.
