PALM CITY — Confusions in the county’s land-development regulations are getting straightened out. On Monday, April 27, the Growth Management Department will discuss proposed redevelopment overlay district changes at a special meeting of the Old Palm City Neighborhood Advisory Committee. “This is a glitch fix,” Kevin Freeman, the county’s community development director, said. “There’s not consistency between certain parts of the code and different chapters conflict with each other.” That’s hampering development enthusiasm. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. at the Palm City Community Center, 2701 S.W. Cornell Ave. Freeman said development in the county’s seven Community Redevelopment areas, CRAs, has been hampered at times, because it isn’t always clear what can and can’t be done. “What we found in a number of (land-development regulations) for the CRAs, the LDRs are duplicated and don’t say the same thing from one area to another,” Freeman said. “You can do some things in some CRAs that you can’t do in others.” He said at times even county staff members are perplexed as
“What we found in a number of (land-development regulations) for the CRAs, the LDRs are duplicated and don’t say the same thing from one area to another. You can do some things in some CRAs that you can’t do in others.” Kevin Freeman Community development director to whether proposed building in CRAs is permissible. CRAs are special zones that keep some county dollars in certain areas to spur property and economic development for eliminating blight. Mapp Road is the centerpiece of Palm City’s CRA. The CRA, adopted in 2002, includes 610 acres. The area is nestled along Mapp from Southwest Rio Vista Way south to Southwest All American Boulevard. It goes from the St. Lucie River South Fork west to a few blocks past Mapp. There’s a western extension nestled along Southwest 34th and Southwest 36th streets to Southwest Berry Avenue. County taxes paid on property values higher than what they were in a base year — when the area was established — stay in that district for economic development and blight elimination

Policing the Palm City beat Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

Staff photo by Patrick McCallister Deputy Brooks Groton patrols L. Cpl. Justin Wilson Memorial Park. Recently there have been reports of opportunity burglaries of cars at some area parks. Groton isn’t trying to catch the bad guys as much as he’s stopping to talk with folks about taking precautions when they’re enjoying Palm City’s parks. The idea is that if folks don’t have valuables in their cars, thieves have nothing to take and go away. He’s the Martin County Sheriff’s Office’s Community Policing deputy assigned to Palm City. Groton spends his days going around on bicycle and in his cruiser stopping and talking with folks about problems they’re encountering in their neighborhoods. The approach lets him take care of issues while they’re small.

“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.

Environmental factors can be classified as affecting our 1.mental, 2.physical and 3.chemical balance through a process called epi-genetics.

PALM CITY — The days of cops walking the beat aren’t a romantic recollection of days now gone. It’s just that Deputy Brooks Groton is usually driving or bicycling his Palm City beat instead of walking. “We work on problem solving in anything going on in the neighborhood,” Groton said. In other words, handling situations that could escalate while they’re small things. Groton is part of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office’s Community Policing. About a year ago he took the Palm City beat. His job is to become a familiar face around town. On a Monday morning, I got in the car with Groton, and we started patrolling. His first stops were Jock Leighton, Charlie Leighton and Lance Cpl. Justin Wilson Memorial parks. There have been some reports of car burglaries at the parks. There’s

All Aboard Florida comments under review Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER
bzerisr@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — Federal Railroad Administration officials will begin reviewing comments from state agencies after they missed the public comment period deadline, concerning the All Aboard Florida Draft Environmental Statement. Together with comments from residents and government officials, the comments total about 12,000, said Michael Cole, Federal Railroad Administration spokesman. The comments follow a 45-day public comment period in which residents and officials had time to vent concerns over the proposed $2.25 billion railroad, which 32 passenger trains per day would pass along the Treasure Coast, starting 2017. The Florida State Clearinghouse was responsible for submitting the agencies’ comments. Cole said the clearinghouse was busy
reviewing the comments when the original Dec. 3 deadline set by the Federal Rail Administration passed. Despite missing deadline, Cole said those additional comments will be reviewed. “The next step is to make sure all of those comments have been gone through and then we’ll categorize them. Say one is vibration from the trains. If we have 1,000 comments about that, they’ll get grouped, and we’ll go over them,” Cole said. “And then they’ll be addressed in the (Final Environmental Impact Study), and then we’ll make the final document, called the record of decision. That’s the final federal record regarding that project, saying what is going to happen.” There currently is no deadline for reviewing the comments or preparing the Final Environmental Impact Study and record of final decision, Cole said. Seven agencies comprise the clearinghouse - Florida Depart-
ment of Environmental Protection, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resource, Florida Department of Transportation, St. Johns River Water Management District, South Florida Water Management District, East Central Florida Regional Planning Council. In addition to those, the South Florida Regional Planning Council and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council submitted comments directly to the Federal Rail Administration, Cole said. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s southeast district office advised that contamination screening evaluations may be required along the corridor prior to construction. “Land clearing, construction debris and other non-hazardous debris, drums, solid wastes, tanks and potentially contaminated soils must all be managed in accordance with federal, state and local requirements,” the
statement said. The DEP also warned that Savannas Preserve State Park would be at risk. “The Division notes that some areas near Savannas Preserve State Park have wildlife habitat. The potential for impacts to natural communities exists through direct or indirect habitat loss and disturbance. The Division encourages minimization and avoidance measures related to impacts adjacent to the state park,” their comments showed. John Dickinson State Park would be susceptible to new invasive plant species, which would put existing plant and wildlife at risk, the DEP warned. There would also need to be plans for road closures, the DEP officials said. The South Florida Water Management District only said that more permits may be required, adding “The SFWMD has no specific comments on the Draft EIS.”

Palm City man goes from heavy smoker to triathlete and author Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — When the bicycles line up at the fourth annual Riding for Heroes, Jerry Kyckelhahn will be leading the pack. Well, probably not leading, but the 68-year-old will be there on Sunday, March 22, at Lance Cpl. Justin Wilson Memorial Park, 2050 S.W. Mapp Road, for the LCpl. Justin J. Wilson (U.S. Marines) Memorial Foundation and Treasure Coast Cycling Association event. He’s in shape for it. “I plan to do an ironman next year when I turn 70,” he said. As in an ironman triathlon, a 140.6-mile test of a person’s fitness, endurance, grit and, at times, stupidity. The first part of an ironman is a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride, then a 26.2-mile run. While the timing is coincidental, Riding for Heroes is the largest local event during Bicycle Month in Martin County, declared by the
Staff photo by Patrick McCallister Palm City resident and Army veteran Jerry Kyckelhahn was an out-of-shape smoker when he quit tobacco at age 47, 21 years ago. He started going to gyms and found himself on bicycles. Before long, he was training for triathlons. Kyckelhahn is the author of “Chasing Caterpillars: A Late Life Metamorphosis to Triathlete (And How You Can Do It).” He’ll be in the Riding for Heroes bicycle century, 105 miles, on Sunday, March 22, celebrating Bicycle Month in Martin County. County Commission last month. Those taking the 105- and 80mile routes will leave at 7:30 a.m. Those taking the 60-mile route
will take off at 8:15 a.m. The shortest route, 40 miles, will start at 9 a.m. The ride commemorates Palm City’s Lance Cpl. Justin
Wilson, who died on March 22, 2010, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. The ride is the largest fundraiser for the foundation his parents started, which goes by the shorthand “Justin’s Wings.” Kyckelhahn, a Vietnam veteran, is a late-life triathlete. His car sports a sticker that reads 70.3. That means he’s completed long course triathlons, 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, and a half-marathon — 13.1 miles. At 65, he took the national championship for his category. Not bad for a 30year smoker, who consumed two and a half packs of breath-constricting cigarettes a day until he was almost 50. “When I quit smoking, I was 47,” he said. “I thought it was time to get in shape.” Kyckelhahn graduated from The Citadel, Military College of South Carolina, along with the Army Ranger School, and got his Jump Wings.

Potential employee pool is scary, but screening carefully can help find a good fit “People are not your most important asset – the right people are.” Jim Collins

his day and time with rampant unemployment, salary freezes and employee restlessness, one would think that their stack of job applicants would be overloaded with good quality employees who have fallen victim to the economy and would be choice assets to add to their employee rolls. I’m not sure what your stack of resumes and applications looks like, but the ones that I have received over the last year have been a few shades darker than dismal. The comedy legend Gallagher stated that 15 percent unemployment didn’t bother him. He believed that 25 percent of the population was crazy and at 15 percent unemployment, he was extremely concerned about the 10 percent of crazy people in the workforce. My current stack of choices seems to have made Gallagher quite a prophet. So, what can we do to make sure we get the quality people or at least the best of the worst when we are adding to our employee base? I try to do some different levels of screening, plus using my initial interaction with potential employees to assist me in getting the right people. This method has bitten me low and behind a couple of times, but thankfully, and luckily, it has served me well with some good
Bill Hughes loyal employees who I have been blessed to have worked with. My first level of screening is the application and the résumé. If someone doesn’t take the time to prepare a legible, concise, and grammatically correct résumé or application with correct spelling, they usually will make my reject pile quickly. Cutesy covers, colored paper, expensive folders and cotton bond paper do not gain any extra points in my book either. However, hand-written, in pencil, on torn-out composition notebook paper will get a quick toss into File 13. (Yes, I had this happen once!) Once the appearance of the resume’ has gained its way into the satisfactory pile, I then look at the “jobs held to years worked” ratio, taking into account whether the person advanced, stayed level or fell downward in employ-

ment responsibilities and position. Someone who might appear to be a job hopper might just be a quick learner who networks well and advances professionally. The second level of screening I use is the phone call/telephone interview. If someone is seeking employment, they need to have an appropriate ringtone and voicemail message, by the way. Hearing blaring music with curse words in it does not move one to the front of my class. Also, voicemail that tries to be cute, slang-ridden and noisy is hard for me to overcome. If I leave a message for the person, I would expect that they would call me back within 24 hours, if they have an interest in our position. Once I am talking to the person, I try to ascertain their communication abilities and their expertise at human interaction. I will pay close attention to their level of interest and politeness. I usually do not expect them to do most of the talking on this phone call, unless I ask open-ended questions. I usually will know within a few minutes whether I want to continue the process with a candidate and have a set of routine questions that I will ask each person. Their responses to the questions and their level of interaction will determine whether an in-person interview will be set up for them. I always try to place the applicant on hold once during the conversation to see how they react to interruptions, and I will give the person a day for the interview but not necessarily the time. I let them choose the time that works with them and usually learn more about them from their communications. Next comes the face-to-face interview. Professional dress is a must for someone who wants to work with me. No obvious tattoos, unreasonable piercings
and especially “grilles” will be acceptable appearance. I discuss their work record while assessing how well they communicate and then I tell them about our place of work, the duties of the open position and benefits and salary. I do expect some interaction at this point of the interview, but do frown upon those applicants that cannot seem to know when to stop talking or those who talk very little at all. I look for the people who seem to have people skills and seem trainable. I would rather have a person of moderate intelligence who values people and relationships than a brilliant person who can’t seem to find value in others. I would also rather hire an energetic upwardly mobile person who may leave in two-three years if not promoted than to hire an entry-level person who is perfectly happy in staying entry level for his or her entire career. I finish the interview, asking if they have any questions of me, and if I feel they may be a “keeper,” I give them a tour around the office, introducing them to physicians and employees who are available, again, seeing how well they interact with people. After they leave, I follow up on references and past employers to get their feedback. This method is not always foolproof, but has seemed to work through my years of hiring people. I have luckily had to fire very few through the years when I have taken this approach to interviewing and hiring.

Pastor Russ Jones presbyter for the World Assemblies of God Fellowship and helps about 25 churches in and near Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee and Palm Beach counties, Section 15. When folks approach him about going into the ministry, one of his options is sending them to the District School of Ministry, DSOM. Attendees have to attend classes monthly from September to May at Clewiston or Kissimmee. In addition to the classes, Jones agrees to train the aspiring ministers at Faith Family. “That internship is to help you develop some of the hands-on skills that you don’t buy a book and read about in it,” he said. The Assemblies of God have three levels for aspiring ministers to go through: certified, licensed and ordained. The district school takes aspirants through all three. However, ordination isn’t available until two years after completing the course and continuing under a pastor’s tutelage. Jones said he has people in his church at all phases of the training.

PALM CITY — Faith Family Worship Center is making leaders and misters. On Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22, Duke Matlock will be at the church teaching about the leadership skills of listening and communicating with encouragement. “Imagine if people came to your church and they were heard and encouraged,” Matlock said. “What would that do to your church attendance? What would happen to your business if everybody who came in felt heard and encouraged?” Matlock was pastor of Life Assembly of God in Kissimmee for 18 years. He founded Beyond Daydreams Life Coaching recently. Russ Jones, pastor of Faith Family, said the Invest Leadership Initiative will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. There’s no charge for the class, but a love offering will be taken. The church will have a free lunch for attendees, too. Registration at www. ffwc.us is preferable, but not necessary. “He’ll be speaking at our Saturday night service and Sunday morning service on discovering your destiny,” Jones said. Those services are at 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Many believe their destiny is ministry, something Jones enjoys helping people pursue. Jones believes he’s helped about 100 go into the ministry in various forms. “I’ve been doing this since I was in the youth ministry 35 years ago,” he said. In addition to leading Faith Family, Jones is also the district

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
Plans are in the works for one of the most entertaining pet events on the Treasure Coast — the eighth annual Mutt Derby, organized by The Fur Seasons and presented by Seacoast National. Grouped by weight, the event highlight is watching dogs race down a track toward their owners, and this year, a new special feature has been added: the Doggie Fun Zone. It’s all for a charitable cause: to raise funds for the shelter animals at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. The Mutt Derby runs 8:30 a.m.3 p.m., Saturday, March 28, at The Fur Seasons, a luxury dog and cat boarding facility and pet spa, 1310 S.W. Commerce Way, in Stuart. Admission is free. For a $10 donation, pet owners can pre-register their dogs to race by going online to http:// www.TheFurSeasonsResort.com. Pre-registration is preferred. Onsite registration begins at 8:15 a.m. on event day. All breeds and sizes may compete. Each derby entrant receives a certificate for participating and winners will receive prize ribbons. In its first seven years, the event has raised almost $60,000 and last year raised $13,350 for the HSTC. The Doggie Fun Zone is an entertaining multi-dimensional lure/ obstacle course that is perfect for any size dog. This new feature is expected to draw large crowds. “This is a perfect companion activity to the derby races and the
swimming party, providing funfilled delight as you watch the dogs chase a lure and go through easy obstacles,” said Drue Pollack, co-owner of The Fur Seasons. The event also includes a silent auction, a substantial raffle prize, pet education sessions, a swim party and pet-related vendors. The HSTC will bring pets for adoption and a DJ will provide music. John Moschitta, Jr. — credited in “The Guinness Book of World Records” as the World’s Fastest Talker — will again call the races and present the winners with their ribbons. He brings a sense of humor, expert fundraising skills and a boundless dedication to the welfare of animals. All proceeds from the races, the raffle and the silent auction benefit the HSTC. HSTC president and CEO, Frank Valente, said, “This is one of the most fun-filled pet events on the Treasure Coast for families. We wish to thank Drue Pollack and Peter Einhorn, owners of The Fur Seasons, for organizing this event each year and helping out our shelter animals with their generosity.” For more information, call (772) 286-8283. The Fur Seasons Resort for Pets is an 8,000-square-foot luxury dog and cat boarding facility and pet spa in Stuart featuring private suites, an in-ground swimming pool, pet activities center and much more.

no apparent pattern to them, Groton said. The burglaries appear to be opportunity crimes when people leave valuables in their vehicles and the doors unlocked. Groton said that happens far more frequently than people might think. Groton waves at a few folks as he goes through the parking lots and heads into the neighborhoods. On Southwest All American Boulevard, he spots a woman walking. Judging from her attire and physique, it looks like she does a lot of walking. The deputy stops and starts a short conversation. The woman seems pleasantly surprised by a lawman asking for her observations. She likes her neighborhood. “I don’t see vandalism. I don’t see speeding,” the lady tells him. Speeding in neighborhoods is the most common issue Groton encounters, so he likes hearing that it’s not happening there. Groton reminds the woman of a message Sheriff William Snyder has pushed hard since taking over the office two years ago — call day or night even if it feels a little silly. He tells her that she can ask dispatchers for him specifically. As we leave, Groton talks about his preference for bicycling in Palm City’s neighborhoods because it’s easier to approach people for conversation. A bike is less intimidating than a cruiser. “The biggest surprise is when I ride my bike,” he said. “People are surprised to see a cop on a bike.” While Palm City has a pleasantly low crime rate, it does exist. On March 6, undercover investigators served a warrant on a suspected drug dealer living on Southwest 37th Street. Officers arrested 39-yearold Michael Lardizone after finding cocaine and other drugs at his home. Among other things, he was charged with selling cocaine within 1,000 feet of a park, Jock Leighton Park. While Groton wasn’t
part of that investigation, he has in his community policing career given investigators tips from the community that led to arrests. He’s also been able to find suspects for investigators by asking around. After a resident complained about smelling marijuana at Jock Leighton’s skating area, Groton spent some time walking around the park looking for signs of drug use, such as small baggies, talking to skateboarders and parents and watching the park from an unmarked vehicle. He didn’t find any common drug use at the park, but said investigating for it wasn’t wasted time. Groton got to know some of the park’s regular visitors, so they have someone to turn to if they start seeing drugs at the park. And while looking for signs of drug use at the park, he noticed that almost none of the skaters were wearing helmets, a county rule. He’s working with the county’s parks and recreation to figure out a way to get better enforcement of that rule at Jock Leighton. Sgt. Jamie Foster, community policing sergeant, said there are seven community policing deputies working in Martin County. Along with Palm City there are deputies in Jensen Beach, Golden Gate, Port Salerno, Hobe Sound, Indiantown and northwest Stuart. He said they are old-fashioned beat cops. “It’s just a little more modern,” he said. “We’re using computer systems to generate maps for us for what dates and times crimes are happening.” But in the end he said no crime-reduction tool works as well as talking. “(Residents are) quicker to tell us information they wouldn’t tell another deputy they don’t trust,” he said.

Your Timing Won’t Be Off When You Invest Systematically
If one of your worries is whether you’re investing at the right time, it shouldn’t be. By investing a set amount of money on a regular basis, you establish a simple routine that can help make your financial goals a reality. In addition, investing systematically can help: • Make it possible to use market fluctuations to your advantage • Add potential growth and diversification to your portfolio • Keep your long-term financial goals in focus Investing a set amount of money on a regular basis does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continual investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financial ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

TRIATHLETE from page A5 when the Beatles still existed as a band. “I’ve never been an athlete,” Kyckelhahn said. “I was an athlete on the side.” So Kyckelhahn headed to a gym. That was getting him nowhere, he thought. Then some friends invited him for an outing that changed everything. “I jumped on a mountain bike, went over the handlebars, and loved it,” he said. Off to the bike store Kyckelhahn went. “Somebody told me to train for mountain biking in Florida, you have to get a road bike,” he said. “I tried it and liked it.” Kyckelhahn added, “It was so much fun being back on a bike. When you get on a bike, you feel like a kid again.” For the first few minutes at least, depending on the guys you’re riding with. Kyckelhahn was enjoying the cycling when he someone asked him to do the bike portion for a relay triathlon team. “When I saw how much fun the triathletes were having, I wanted to try it,” he said. So Kyckelhahn started training for the swimming and running portions of the triathlon. He tried his hand at a sprint triathlon, 750-meter swim, followed by a 12-mile bike ride and 5k run. “When I got off the bike to run at my first triathlon, I could not move,” he said. “I figured caterpillars would pass me.” He did finish that three-part race, however, and learned something about the triathlon community.
has a ministry already at hand no matter who or where they are. “We will talk about each person’s unique design,” Matlock said. He added, “We’ll talk about how a person who understands how they’re made and understands their passion can leave a legacy in the world. We’re not all going to be Mother Teresa, but we can change our world.” “Every one of us can change the world around us.” More about Matlock is at www. dukematlock.com. The church is at 3020 S.W. Mapp Road, Palm City.
“Everybody encourages everybody,” he said. “The person who gets the loudest cheers is the last one (to finish).” The caterpillars later inspired Kyckelhahn to write a book: “Chasing Caterpillars: A Late Life Metamorphosis to Triathlete (And How You Can Do It).” John Goings, president of the cycling association, said Kyckelhahn has an obvious compassion for new riders. “Jerry is one of the very first guys I ever rode with,” Goings said. “The first group ride I went on, we started riding and I’m going along saying ‘This is cool.’ I didn’t realize I had a tailwind behind me.” A tailwind that would become a headwind when the group turned around. Even a light headwind, say 5 mph, drastically increases a rider’s effort. “Jerry and my wife were the only ones who stayed with me and blocked the wind for me,” Goings said. “I would not have made it without him. He was the guy who shepherded me on my first group ride.” Kyckelhahn said most anyone who’s ambulatory can be a triathlete. All it takes is a bit of time, will, and a few aches and pains along the way. “Biking and triathlons are for any age,” Kyckelhahn said. “You can start anytime.” The book is available at Tri-Athletica Sporting Goods Store, 417 S.W. Federal Highway, Stuart. Alternately, signed copies are available by emailing Kyckelhahn at chasing@traks.com. More information about Riding for Heroes is at the Treasure Coast Cycling Association’s Facebook page.

Diamonds By Terry M
Terry Rieger’s Biography
aster Jeweler and Gemologist Terry Rieger’s 40 year career had an unusual beginning, as a traditional artist her early 20’s. Terry’s culinary hobby provided an additional outlet for displaying her other artistic talents. She delighted in designing confectionery masterpieces. If she wasn’t creating exquisitely decorated wedding cakes for friends and family, she was sculpting whimsical, mouth-watering candies, or designing sugar Easter eggs with complete 3-D panoramas inside. The occupants of those windowed eggs were meticulously detailed, right down to microscopic whiskers on the tiny Easter bunnies. One of those Easter eggs, a gift to a family friend, is responsible for launching her lifelong career in jewelry. That family friend happened to be a jeweler, and became so drawn to her artistry, that he insisted her designs must be produced in gold. Her mentor, refusing to take no for an answer, arranged for a full compliment of jewelers tools to be delivered, and arranged for her to be the first and only student ever tutored by noted Russian jeweler, Constance Osmanski. Terry found herself commuting back and forth to Europe for the next twelve years, studying and perfecting her craft in London’s famed diamond quarter, Hatton Garden. Hatton Garden is home to DeBeer’s Central Selling Organization, and is regarded as one of the great jewelry areas of Europe. Terry’s interest in restoration of fine estate jewelry spans better than twenty-three of her 40 years in this profession, and that interest has also led her to become an avid collector of period gems and jewelry components. Over the years she has built a well cataloged component collection as an in-house resource for accurate restoration of antique and estate jewelry. A missing gem or pearl, or a damaged section of gold or platinum in a fine piece of antique jewelry should only be replaced with components which exactly match the color, cut, size, shape, age and patina of the original, she explains. Terry says that over the years she has amassed a small mountain of vintage seed pearls, garnets, rose cut diamonds and the like. The store even has the uniquely colored Persian turquoise in its collection. Terry is also particularly adept at restoring exquisite French enamel pieces. A frequent lecturer on gemology, Terry is a well known expert in the history of jewelry. Over the years she made it her habit to do in depth research not only on the jewels of particular periods, but the reasons and influences behind their use in related jewelry designs. Lela, a member of the audience at one of her lectures mentions that an acquaintance has offered to sell her a white gold antique ring dating from the late 1800’s, and Terry’s face will light up with a mischievous grin. You might want to have me do a verbal appraisal on that before you buy it, she’ ll suggest, because white gold wasn’t discovered until 1912. Terry’s passion remains custom jewelry; however, and her exquisite designs range from the extraordinarily graceful to the wonderfully whimsical. “if you can dream it”, she’ ll tell you with a smile, “we can make it for you.”

Doc Grober plans salute to Armstrong Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — It’s become an annual event to expect Doc Grober and the Mudcats at the Lyric Theatre, and this year is no exception. They bring a tribute to Louis Armstrong to the theater March 26, and as usual, the house will be rocking. 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 for many years 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. During the lengthy process of medical school and surgical training, he put his
music on hold. 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 Mudcats after a catfish indigenous to Mississippi. While the players in the band have changed over the years, the name stuck. Grober spoke recently about why he selected Louis Armstrong as the focus of the concert. “He’s a pivotal figure in jazz,” Grober said. “He shaped jazz, including the many changes it went through. He made an indelible imprint on future trumpet players as well as players of different instruments. He took jazz from the saloon or brothel or parade music to making it a true American art form. He brought jazz to the

to thank him for a performance after a concert. “I had a personal experience with him, an experience I value and treasure to this day,” Grober said. “He invited me backstage and we chatted for 20 minutes, His persona matched what you saw onstage. He was warm and welcoming. He invited me backstage when I expressed appreciation. It was rather special.” There’s more to the story, but Doc Grober, a showman himself, wouldn’t give the final twist away. For that, you’ll just have to go to the concert.

help with projects including the building and painting of birdhouses. This year, the Arts Council has expanded the definition of arts to the culinary arts and there will be an upgraded Food Court as well as a variety of culinary events taking place during the festival. Chef Mark Muller from Ellie’s Deli and Mark Muller Catering, will bring Florida cuisine to ArtsFest. Fried fish, crab cakes, a pig roast, barbecue, pizza and more are on the menu. Chef Mark is also partnering with Ground Floor Farms for a Farm-to-Table demonstration March 28 at 1 p.m. Chef Mark is also organizing and exciting event, STUART CHOPPED! on March 29 at 1 p.m. Several local chefs will be given a mystery box of ingredients and asked to serve up a fabulous dinner. Local celebrities and arts patrons will make up the judging panel. For Nancy Turrell, executive director of the Arts Council, the challenge is to keep such a popular event new. “We are trying to keeps ArtsFest fresh,” she said. “We’ve always been the largest of the arts festi-
vals in our community, with the largest array of artists. Our show is more than white tents. There’s a stage, live entertainment and artists in white tents. That’s a staple. A lot of our artists are new this year and that’s really exciting. “We have a panel of five qualified individuals in different media who reviewed applications in September. They looked at three pieces of work and a booth shot for overall presentation. They’re ranked and we invite the best ones.” The Arts Council has an exhibit of 12 abstract artists from St. Augustine to Key West that will be on display at the Court House Cultural Center during ArtsFest and until April 10. Upcoming is the annual juried art show for local high school students. “It’s part of our mission to promote art in our schools,” Turrell said. ArtsFest 2015 will take place March 28 from 10 a.m-6 p.m. and March 29 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission to the event is $5. Tickets are available online or at the door. The Arts Council of Martin County is located at the Court House Cultural Center, 80 E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart. For more information, visit the website www.martinarts.org or call (772) 287-6676.
