PALM CITY — Costco might be coming to town. News that Fort Lauderdale’s Thomas Engineering Group met with county staff on March 6 regarding a proposed Costco in Palm City surprised many. “They’ve probably been in Martin County for months and just pulled the trigger now,” Tim Dougher, executive director of the Business Development Board of Martin County, said in an interview after the meeting. Dougher wasn’t at the pre-application meeting between Costco representatives and county staff, although some from the public were. Martin County Commissioner John Haddox, Palm City, couldn’t

4 meeting, the county commission approved a plan offered by the Martin County Marine and Aviation Alliance to launch the customs facility. At the heart of the plan is the 18-member alliance contractually pledges to the county up to $50,000 a year for the first three years that the facility is open to

Bar mitzvah project brings books to kids Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — Bar mitzvah is the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony. For boys, it occurs at 13; girls may have a bat mitzvah at 12 or 13. There is lengthy preparation and study before the bar mitzvah service. Many congregations also require a project that benefits the community. That project is often call a mitzvah. The Hebrew word means commandment, and it has also come to mean a good deed. Judah Lebofsky of Palm City, who celebrated his bar mitzvah in January, chose to collect and donate books for children receiving shelter and support through SafeSpace. The organization offers help to victims of domestic violence. Judah learned about the organization from his mother, Jill, who attended an event with a speaker from SafeSpace. He learned that families often have to leave all of their belongings behind to get to

Business Development Board transitions to new county contract
“Change Your Smile, Change Your Life”
Patrick McCallister Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — Couples therapy works. Well, it wasn’t therapy, really. It was a monthslong battle with soap-opera turns that ended in a new agreement. Around this time last year, some on the county commission seemed bent on getting rid of the Business Development Board of Martin County. “We should put our foot down and do it today.” Commissioner Anne Scott, Hobe Sound, said at an April 2013 commission meeting. Scott then made a motion that was the first slap in a contract renegotiation fight. She struck a decidedly different tone at a recent, February, meeting. “We’re definitely on the right track,” Scott said after the BDB’s executive director, Tim Dougher, delivered the first quarterly report required under a new contract inked in December.

We promise a casual, fun filled, informative discussion. Take a tour of our beautiful office. Meet Dr. Sohl and our friendly, experienced team.
In a 3-2 vote, the commission suspended contractual payments to the board, and started the prickly renegotiation. By December the county and board inked a new contract worth $430,000 the first year. That drops to $340,000 in the second and $260,000 in the third years. Additionally, the county will match some private funding the BDB develops in the second and third years to a maximum of an additional $100,000 a year. A 2009 contract started the BDB at $625,000 a year. By 2013 it was up $643,000, due to contractual increases. None of that sat well with the new commissioners elected in 2012. Members were uptight that the contract provided no visible accountability for the BDB to show what it was accomplishing with that $643,000. In a 3-2 vote, the commission

Commissioner gets Irish up against personal attacks C
ommissioner John Haddox proved that he can get the Irish up at the March 4 regular Martin County Commission meeting. In plenty of time for St. Patrick’s Day “I will not sit here and be called a liar and personally attacked,” he told someone at public comment. Haddox broke norms and staunchly rebuked a public commenter from Palm City, his district, with those words. About time one of the Martin commissioners refused to quietly take or listen to others take abuse. The fella’s comments from the public podium in the commission’s chambers went beyond the pale and amounted to impugning Haddox’s character over a difference in public-policy opinion. Later in the meeting, Haddox was emphatic with the chairwoman — Sarah Heard, Port Salerno — that the commission needs to enforce the usual policies for the public at government meetings: address the board, not particular members, staff, or other meeting attendees, and keep your tongue civil no matter how forcefully you’re expressing an opinion. “To me, it’s intolerable,” he said at the meeting. “Today, (the offending speaker) should have

been removed.” That’s why there’s a Martin County Sheriff’s deputy at every meeting. To remove those who don’t know or don’t care about the difference between democracy and disrespect. At the least that speaker should have gotten the gavel and a firm warning. I’ve covered a lot of city and

county governments coming near two decades. Rarely have I seen meeting chairs allow the sort of derision that seems to routinely pass unchecked by this commission. I haven’t kept a record, but I recall numerous times speakers, or meeting attendees, have gotten raucous. For example, audience members loudly chided and catcalled public commenters opposing the proclamation of Bible Reading Week at the Nov. 19 meeting. The gavel never dropped, as I recall. One of those commenters resorted to turning from addressing the commission and retorting to the decriers from the podium. Still, the gavel never dropped. Much, perhaps most, of the assailment goes at Commissioner Doug Smith, Jensen Beach. He and I talked about it after the recent meeting. “I think in fairness to everybody, everybody should be given respect,” he said. “Frankly when it gets to that level, it intimidates people in the audience.” Agreed. Council and commission chairs curtailing obnoxiousness at public meetings aren’t suppressing our cherished First Amendment rights to free speech, assembly and petitioning government to redress grievances. To the contrary,
a chair demanding civil talk and behavior creates a thoughtful atmosphere that encourages expressing reasoned viewpoints and opinions. Anyone who read my last column about the Martin Commission — Dec. 27, 2013 issue — knows I’m happy to criticize its actions. I took the commission to task for wasting time on symbolic votes and disorganization. But I never attacked any of the commissioners’ characters, intentions or intelligence. Frankly, I think highly of all of them even when I disagree with some over policies. There’s simply no place for disparagement in good political and public-policy discourse. Unfortunately, it’s seemingly common. Not just in Martin County. It feels to me that demonizing has become routine in political dialogue throughout our nation. Sure, there have always been those who use vilification as a form of political discussion. But something feels different to me these days. It seems to me that about 20 years ago political obnoxiousness started a fast move from socially unacceptable to heroic. Remember the hooligans getting cheered for egging President George W.

Residents, rise up against Costco To the editor: This is an all-out assault on small business is Palm City. We have a hardware store that supplies our needs, three tire stores that provide excellent service, two grocery stores that feed us and on and on. My point is that now is the time for Commissioner Haddox to serve the voters. Whether Costco is built or not does not affect me as a local businessman, but as a resident, it will affect our entire community. Small businesses will close, local employees will be out of work, traffic will be a mess at the Turnpike entrance and Palm City will never be the same. You may find it unusual for
a local contractor to be against development, but the short-term advantage will be small and long-term devastating to our local economy. All this to buy in bulk and save 10 cents. If there was ever a time for small business and Palm City residents to rise up, it is now, or take pictures of Palm City so you can remember what it was like before this project is complete. It is in the initial stages of permitting, there is no time to waste! Kevin Sharkey Palm City Sharkey Air, LLC Paragon Indoor Air Quality

CONTRACT from page A4 suspended contractual payments to the board, and started the prickly renegotiation. By December the county and board inked a new contract worth $430,000 the first year. That drops to $340,000 in the second and $260,000 in the third years. Additionally, the county will match some private funding the BDB develops in the second and third years to a maximum of an additional $100,000 a year. The aim is to ultimately remove the BDB from the county’s general-fund budget. The county gets about $260,000 in occupational license fees a year, and the commission hopes to make that the exclusive source of the BDB’s funding. The new contract reorganized the BDB’s board of directors, cutting it from 31 seats to 15. So, how’s the transition coming for the BDB? “It’s going good,” Dougher said in a recent phone interview. “We’ve had two board meetings with the new board. Our next meeting is coming up March 20th.” That meeting will be at Indian River State College’s Chastain Campus, 2400 S.E. Salerno Road, Stuart. It is open to the public. Dougher said the new board — which includes commissioners John Haddox, Palm City, and Scott — has spent the last couple meetings reviewing and re-
vising the BDB’s bylaws to match the revised contract. The board serves as the economic-development organization for the county. Some Florida counties have departments responsible for economic development; others have departments and public-private partnerships. In addition to helping established businesses expand, the Martin County Business Development Board works with Enterprise Florida, the state’s economic-development organization, to attract new businesses. It formed in 1991. Dougher said the BDB hasn’t had an opportunity to find out how responsive the business community will be to helping fund it. He said the county has to sign off on his proposals for what guidelines. “I developed them and they’re at the county,” he said. The proposed guidelines, if approved by the county, will allow local governments, such as the city of Stuart, to donate to the BDB, along with investors registered with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations. Those in Martin County must have business tax receipts for their companies. Dougher said many in the business community followed news about the contract renegotiation. He believes many will be responsive to requests for donations when he starts asking.

access to learning. When it was made clear that some kids don’t have books, he felt that and it wasn’t hard to figure out what the right project would be. “At SafeSpace, kids have challenges in their lives that Judah will never have. Books are an investment in children. For some, their education has been bumpy because of their situation. They also give the ability to escape into the world of imagination.” Judah is involved in his school’s yearbook and hopes to become a photographer for National Geographic magazine. He is hoping to use some of his bar mitzvah money to get a new camera and start taking lots of pictures. His dad said that he has two focuses. “The two areas for Judah are kids and animals,” he said. “It’s creature that can’t help themselves.” What started as a community service project has evolved into a labor of love. Judah Lebofsky has certainly performed a mitzvah, in every sense of the word.
safety. Many of the items donated to SafeSpace are basic necessities such as toiletries. “I thought that kids that need items should not just need toiletries,” Judah said. “They need educational items like books. I thought a great idea for my mitzvah project would be to collect books for SafeSpace because most people enjoy reading.” Judah began the project in October 2013 and received permission from Rabbi Jeffrey Goldwasser at Temple Beit HaYam to set up a collection box there. He also spread the word at Hidden Oaks Middle School and through his mom. In all, Judah collected 725 books. That number was far more than anyone anticipated. In order to house the books, Judah took some of the money he received as gifts for his bar mitzvah and purchased bookshelves. Judah’s dad, Larry Lebofsky, said that everyone was pleased by Judah’s initiative and spirit. “We’re all impressed by Judah,” he said. He’s always loved reading and he’s never taken it for granted. He never assumes everyone has his advantages, books and

generated by airplanes,” he said. Cornea added, “This area is more desirable than Palm Beach for a lot of reasons. A lot of people like the smaller airports.” However, not all Palm City residents are as happy with the county getting a customs facility. Former commissioner Donna Melzer noted that much of the facility’s $1.4 million construction cost will be carried by a Florida Department of Transportation grant, $900,000. “Handshakes with the (Federal Aviation Administration) and FDOT haven’t worked so well in the past,” Melzer told commissioners. She later said, “If in two years if this is a boondoggle, I don’t want that grant to say, ‘Too bad; you’ve got to continue.’” The balance of the construction

and gives the county no way to collect money, and doesn’t set up an escrow account,” Ed Fielding, Stuart, told alliance representative Ike Crumpler at the meeting. “That’s a non-starter. That’s a non-starter.” About 25 from the public gave impassioned pros and cons for the proposed facility. Like the commission, they were about evenly divided. Anne Scott, Hobe Sound, was the reluctant swing vote in the room. “I will vote to support it,” she said during the meeting. “Please don’t applaud; it’s not a victory.” Palm City pilot Troy Cornea wasn’t at the meeting, and isn’t a member of the alliance. He flies between Martin and the Bahamas — where he owns businesses — weekly. Cornea said his obligatory stops at an airport with a customs facility when he flies from the Bahamas add about an hour to his trip time, and siphons some of his money from the local economy. He’s looking forward to no longer detouring to the Palm Beach or Fort Pierce airports. “There’s no doubt in my mind (a customs facility will) increase the number of airplanes coming to the area, and the revenue

CUSTOMS from page A12 costs will come from the county’s airport enterprise fund, which doesn’t include property-tax dollars. The facility will cost about $240,000 a year or more to operate, which supporters say users will pay. Critics claimed the facility can’t get enough users to cover the projected operating expense. Commission Chairwoman, Sarah Heard, Port Salerno, was one. “We’re not going to be able to make $300,000 (a year) off user fees,” she said at the meeting. “There aren’t going to be enough
obnoxiousness to a virtue. But it can and should unanimously insist on decorum in its chambers. Haddox and I spoke after the March 4 meeting. He intends to keep pushing the chairwoman and others to enforce propriety. I asked him what happens if others on the commission won’t demand decorum. “I will,” he answered. If Haddox does, that’s leadership — leadership that’s sorely needed in Martin, Florida and America. Patrick McCallister is a staff writer for Your Voice News & Views.

users.” Tim Dougher, executive director of the Business Development Board of Martin County, said in an interview after the meeting that the facility is likely to have economic development benefits beyond the airport. He noted that the BDB never took a position on the proposal before the commission’s vote. “I will include it in marketing material we publish,” Dougher said. “It’s not something we’ll ignore. In my opinion, it’s useful when speaking to companies.”

make it, due to prior commitments. “I will have a lot of questions about traffic flow, neighborhoods and schools in proximity (to the proposed site),” he said in a phone interview. That’s if Costco ever files a bid to build on the about 28-acre site, nestled between Martin Highway, High Meadow Avenue and the Ronald Reagan Turnpike. Nicki van Vonno, growth management department manager, said there is an issue that might bog down going forward with the proposed membership retail store. “There are significant wetlands on the property, on half the property,” she said. “They really have to look at what we told them yesterday and determine if they can build what they’d like on the property.” What Costco proposed was an about 150,000-square-foot, warehouse-style store with more than 650 parking spaces. But that’s speculative. “What happened yesterday is a pre-application meeting,” van Vonno said. “There is no formal application at this time.” The growth manager said that there are no land-use or zoning issues, but there are some questions about traffic generation if Costco ever files to build on the site. “They seemed encouraged by what they learned,” van Vonno said. The pre-application meeting triggered no clocks and it might not be the last before a formal application is made. “We have folks who submit the following week,” van Vonno said. “Sometimes we don’t hear anything for six months. Sometimes we don’t hear back.” If the company files to build on the site, it will be counted as a major development. Supporters and critics will get chances to air their thoughts at public meetings. “It will go to the local planning agency and the county commission,” van Vonno said.
The Veterans Memorial Bridge opened in December, and Martin Highway is slated to get two additional lanes by 2017. Dougher, van Vonno and others were skeptical that the bridge figured into Costco’s thinking about the Palm City site. “For that kind of a store, you’re really looking more at the highway, because the highway is right there,” Dougher said. Commissioner Doug Smith, Jensen Beach, said it’s unlikely that Costco could trigger a big-box commercial strip along Martin Highway. “There just aren’t enough parcels big enough to do anything like that,” he said. “It’s probably the only parcel left to do something of that size.” The closest Costco to Palm City is in Lake Park, 3250 Northlake Blvd. It’s about 27 miles from Palm City. According to news reports, Costco is the second largest retailer in the U.S. An unidentified representative at its Issaquah, Wash., home office referred Your Voice News & Views to its website for information. “We don’t have a media department, and our policy is not to comment on specific markets,” she said repeatedly. Thomas Engineering Group didn’t respond to requests for a phone interview by press time. Costco has been a member of the Palm City Chamber of Commerce for about 20 years, Carolyn Davi, executive director said. Former chamber president James Stedham was a Costco representative to the chamber. The chamber is hosting a townhall meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, at the Palm City Community Center, 2701 S.W. Cornell Ave., Charlie Leighton Park. Haddox will be on a panel. He expects the first public discussions about the proposed Costco to start at that meeting. “I don’t like giving a non-committal answer, but right now I’m open-minded,” he said. “I know I’ll hear from the community. It will likely come up first at the town hall meeting on the 12th.”

TREASURE COAST — Ink on President Barack Obama’s $3.9 trillion 2015 fiscal budget barely dried before news spread on the Treasure Coast that Obama granted full funding for construction of Martin County’s C-44 project which will help filter filthy Lake Okeechobee discharges before the water reaches the fragile Indian River Lagoon. The $38 million to complete Phase 1 and 2 of the project was the full funding the Army Corps requested, said U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter. The freshman Treasure Coast congressman brought the lagoon’s plight to the forefront in Washington, D.C., during an October congressional hearing attended by hundreds of concerned area residents and more than 20 members of the U.S. Congress and Senate. “This is a really big win despite the tough fiscal times and despite all the calls up here to slash spending,” Murphy said during a March 5 press call. “The president basically singled out this project as a priority item.” The C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area, located in Southern Martin County, is a 12,000-acre above-ground water storage reservoir that will eventually hold and clean water discharged from Lake Okeechobee. Phase 2 of the project consists of constructing the reservoir and its seepage canals, discharge tower and canal and pumping station. Funding should be awarded by next summer. Phase two is expected to be completed by 2020. Phase 3 includes the construction of stormwater treatment area distribution canals and collection canals. The project’s last phase includes a communications tower and support buildings. The total cost for the C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area project is $405 million. The entire Indian River Lagoon South Project is scheduled to be completed in 2045, depending on funding, Army Corps spokeswoman Jenn Miller said. The project’s total cost is projected at $2.4 billion, Miller said. Treasure Coast clean water advocates, also known as “River Warriors,” rejoiced at the news.
Patrick Murphy “It’s very rewarding to know that all of our efforts have been recognized,” said Nyla Pipes, Port St. Lucie resident and cofounder of One Florida Foundation, a clean water nonprofit. “It’s wonderful that so much funding for the C-44 has been made a priority in the president’s budget. We will be paying careful attention and do what we can to support Congressman Murphy as this moves forward. There may be another bus trip to Washington, D.C., in the near future.” Stuart resident Michelle Roberts said she was overjoyed by the announcement. “I was on Cloud nine yesterday after hearing the news. We are all very encouraged with the support coming from the president. Although it represents a small portion of what needs to be done, it is a step in the right direction,” Roberts said. “After our trip to D.C. with Congressman Murphy, I hope that they understand the serious problem plaguing our area and pass this funding. To finally get some federal recognition of the problems in our area is wonderful. We will continue our mission to demand clean water for our area and the state of Florida.” The president’s pledge is a big success, but more work lies ahead, Palm City resident and river advocate Darrell Brand said. “The federal funding for the C-44 is great news. I am proud of the hard work that all the River Warriors have done. This has been a real team effort,” Brand said. “Just everyday people, working for a common cause. I feel we have done our part; now let the politicians do their job and get it

The Martin County Board of County Commissioners has partnered with the Solar and Energy Loan Fund to provide local residents with free energy assessments to help them reduce their overall energy consumption and monthly electricity bills. The free energy assessments include a complete home energy assessment from a state-certified energy rater, which helps homeowners identify the most cost-effective types of home energy improvements that provide the greatest return on investment. The Solar and Energy Loan Fund will provide a free consultation to review the energy assessment, and also offers favorable financing options to assist homeowners in completing these recommended home energy improvements. The Solar and Energy Loan Fund has financed more than $2 million of energy retrofit projects in the Treasure Coast region, and the average homeowner is reducing their energy consumption by 23 percent. The fund finances two dozen different types of proven energy-saving products that include basic weatherization and insulation, high-efficiency air conditioners, windows and doors, and solar water heaters, attic fans, and photovoltaic panels. Commissioner Sarah Heard, chair of the Martin County Commission, said, “Martin County is pleased to be working with the nonprofit Solar and Energy Loan Fund to help local residents identify and make wise energy improvements. The work performed through the program will produce greater efficiencies, clean energy alternatives, and local green jobs.” If you are interested in obtaining a free energy assessment, go to www.solarenergyloanfund.org or call Julian Nazario, at (772) 4681818.

Commissioner Haddox looks to veterans for economic development Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — Commissioner John Haddox sees the Florida GI Bill as an economic-development opportunity. “What (Gov. Rick Scott) has been doing, and I have been following, is making veterans a piece of the economic-development puzzle,” he said. “They come in with education funds and job skills. Enticing vets to the state is good for the economy.” The Florida Legislature seems to agree. Sen. Thad Altman, chairman of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, held up a copy of the annual Florida Veterans Benefit Guide on the State Senate floor on Tuesday, March 11. “With the passage of this bill, it will get thicker and thicker and thicker,” he said. Florida has about 1.6 million veterans. The Florida Senate sent a message — the state wants more.
The Senate unanimously adopted the Florida GI Bill during the Legislature’s annual National Guard Day. “On (Florida National Guard Day), we usually pass feel-good resolutions,” Sen. John Thrasher, St. Augustine, said on the Senate floor after the vote. “Today we passed an extraordinarily substantive bill.” The Florida GI Bill was omnibus legislation that combined numerous military- and veterans-related bills. Sen. Garrett Richter, Naples, said the bill was aimed at getting veterans stay in or move to the Sunshine State. “We want to encourage them to make Florida their home over any other state,” he said on the Senate floor before the vote. Richter is the Senate’s President Pro Tempore, and an Army veteran. The state has about 61,000 active-duty personnel in it. The State House passed the Florida GI Bill on the first day of the legislative session, Tuesday, March

4. There, too, the vote was unanimous. The Senate waived certification rules to speed the bill to Scott, a Navy veteran who’s expressed support for the legislation. Haddox, too, is a Navy veteran. He also managed the Martin County Veterans Service Office until he ran for the commission in 2012. A major component of the bill is creation of Florida is for Veterans, FIV, a not-for-profit direct-services organization that’ll operate in the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Steve Murray, communications director of the FDVA, said that FIV will be largely autonomous. “We will have little interaction with them,” he said. “It’s completely independent.” The Florida Legislature appropriated about $425,000 to the state veterans department to start FIV. FIV will get $300,000 from Visit Florida “for market research on the veteran and military community and advise Visit Florida in the development and implementation of a marketing campaign encouraging veterans and service members to make Florida their permanent residence.” And Visit Florida is directed to use $1 million annually to do that marketing campaign. Another FIV duty will be developing Veterans Employment and Training Support, VETS. That

program is tasked to figure out how best to and then get veterans trained for and into the civilian job market. The legislature left how that’s to be done opened to a variety of means. “Bottom line, businesses can get access to the veterans they want to hire, and veterans can get training,” Richter said. While the state’s unemployment rate has dropped to about 6.2 percent, among veterans joblessness is higher. The state believes that about 7.3 percent of veterans are unemployed. To be counted in the unemployment rate, one has to be able to work and looked for a job in the previous 30 days. Many believe that the unemployment rate is doubled if discouraged workers — those who can and want to work, but have abandoned job hunting — are counted. Altman told colleagues before the vote that the Florida GI Bill is likely historic. “I believe it’s the most comprehensive military and veterans package this body, or any other state, has voted on,” he said. Murray said the state veterans department strongly backed the bill. “The idea of helping attract vets to Florida and having them stay here — good,” he said. “We want them to stay in Florida and be productive citizens.” Haddox said that the Business

STUART – The Jazz Age is a popular subject at the Lyric Theatre this season. The theater had a successful fundraising gala featuring the Cab Calloway Orchestra and a Prohibition-era speakeasy. On March 20, Lyric favorites Doc Grober and the Mudcats will present a concert that is a tribute to the Jazz Age, the Roaring Twenties and its special music. Newcomers to the area might not know that Ron Grober is a retired orthopedic surgeon who practiced for many years on the Treasure Coast. He served as team physician for the New York and St. Lucie Mets. Grober put himself through the University of Pennsylvania by playing the piano in a band called Ron Grober’s Quaker City Rhythm Kings. Then he stepped away from music during the lengthy process of medical school and surgical training. Several years ago, the Pelican Yacht Club in Fort Pierce needed a fill-in band for an event. Grober put together a group for a one-time gig. The manager at the Pelican named the band the Mud-
cats after a catfish indigenous to Mississippi. While the players have changed over the years, the name stuck. The doctor spoke recently about the music of a fascinating period from the 1920s to the Great Depression. “The theme is an interesting one,” he said. “People are excited about the Jazz Age. A lot of people have told me they’re interested in that music. The tunes will help me tell the story of women’s suffrage, Prohibition and the post-World War II economic problems that led to the stock market crash. This was happening at the time of speakeasies, the Harlem Renaissance and the Cotton Club and Apollo Theatre.” While Grober is steeped in the history and shares some of it with this audience, it is the music that is the draw. “There will be music from Duke Ellington, novelty tunes, Fats Waller and standard jazz tunes,” he said. Fans of the group will know that it has made the Dixieland sound its own. The band has a stable of musicians on whom Grober calls, but it includes a trumpet, trombone, clarinet, piano, bass, drums and guitar, as well as a

They DO like green eggs and ham Laura Bakkedahl’s kindergarten class at Citrus Grove Elementary school class recently paid tribute to children’s author Dr. Theodore Seuss as a start to ‘Read Across America’ and ‘Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss.’ Steve Newcomb, at right, read ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ before the class cooked up and got to taste their own green eggs and ham. The class then transformed into “Things 1-16” with Mrs. Bakkedahl and The Cat.

Maltz Jupiter Theatre seeks high school students to produce Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’ A free ‘summer intensive’ mentorship program offers one-on-one guidance to produce the Tony Award-winning American classic FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
TREASURE AND GOLD COASTS -- The Maltz Jupiter Theatre is offering local high school students the chance to produce a powerful classic American drama. Under the guidance of industry professionals at Florida’s largest award-winning professional regional theatre, the theatre is inviting high school students to apply to be part of a free summer mentorship program to produce Arthur Miller’s critically-acclaimed 1953 play “The Crucible.” The show will take place on the Theatre’s stage on Saturday, Aug. 16. Winner of the Tony Award for “Best Play,” the story follows the
Salem witch trials that took place in the Province of Massachusetts Bay during 1692 and 1693, in which dark magic, jealousy and superstition took hold of the community. As witchcraft hysteria reaches a fever pitch, choices have to be made: conform to survive or uphold your beliefs whatever the consequence. “Our students will be producing a dynamic, thrilling adaptation of one of Arthur Miller’s most powerful and important plays,” said Julie Rowe, director of education for the theatre. “’The Crucible’ is a central work in the canon of American drama, and the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s mentorship program has become a place where students can spend their summer working on a relevant, important project with their peers.” Known as the Youth Artists’ Chair, the project aligns high school students with individual Theatre staff members for oneon-one mentoring and guidance during the creation process of the show. Through the project, students since 2011 have produced
the dramas “Hamlet,” “The Laramie Project” and “The Good Times are Killing Me.” Applicants for the project will be interviewed and chosen by a committee. Winning students will then take on specific roles throughout the summer months that include producer, director, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer, sound designer, properties designer, stage manager, assistant stage manager, marketing, press relations, development, carpentry, run crew, wardrobe and electrics. The students will then lead three weeks of rehearsals before mounting the show on stage. “This project is an integral part of our theatre’s community outreach and mission statement, which is to entertain, educate and inspire our community,” said Andrew Kato, the theatre’s producing artistic director. “We feel energized and fortunate to have this opportunity to mentor the next generation of theatre’s

PCAA holds 25th Annual Juried Art Show and Scholarship Fundraiser ‘Hereafter’ by Billye Miraglia
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
Each year the Palm City Art Associates hold an art exhibit to display the fine art of its members and to raise monies for their Scholarship Fund to benefit college-bound high school art students. This 25th Annual Show raised funds beyond expectations due to the generous contributions of its members, the public, and the donation of an original painting by Sandra Odell. Artwork was judged and winners were awarded ribbons in five categories. Best in Show: Lenore Petty for her photo “Incandescent Intensity.” First place in Oils: Jane Ejan Blatt for her still life painting “Carnivale,” first place in Watercolors: Susanna Cremin for “Waiting Around,” first place in Mixed Media: Billye Miraglia for “Hereafter” and first place in Pastels: Nancy Steinberg for “Ready to Eat.” Second-place ribbons were awarded to Janice Rogers, Pat Hoshino, and Betty Brain. Madeline Reilly and Maureen Joyce received third-place awards. Palm City Art Associates wishes to thank the staff of Harbour Bay Plaza, the Palm Room, and Renato’s for making this event on “Fine Art Friday,” Feb. 7, possible.
