Last May he publicly appealed to the community to help the foundation find and afford a new home. “We were afraid they’d end up in Palm Beach County,” Snyder said in a phone interview. “When we thought we were going to lose them, I was like, ‘What are we going to do?’” The foundation takes in horses from the Sheriff’s Office. In a single incident last year, the foundation took seven horses and four donkeys for the Sheriff’s Office. In all the foundation took 15 horses for the Sheriff’s Office last year. “They’re really an important resource for us,” Snyder said. “The Sheriff’s Office doesn’t have a res-

Health in Martin County. Those bacteria, he said, aren’t particularly dangerous to most healthy adults. However, he said they can be indicators of more serious hazards in the water, and should be taken seriously. “When you’re talking about different types of bacteria, there are different doses needed to make you sick,” Reinhold said. Reinhold said the health department tests 11 places in Martin’s waters for bacteria and, as of press time, Leighton Park is the only place it’s found levels elevated enough to post warnings. “People that have weakened immune systems are at a higher risk than a healthy adults,” Reinhold said. “There’s a risk to anyone. The fact it’s present, there’s a risk to anyone that comes in contact with (the bacteria).” Where the bacteria came from is a question. They can be from human or animal feces and made their way to the St. Lucie River in many ways. Reinhold said that there are tests that can determine what the sources of the bacteria are — storm water runoff, pets, wildlife or human sewage — because different animals have different kinds of enteric bacteria. However, he said the health department doesn’t do that sort of testing. Reinhold also said the department’s testing is very limited, so exact health risks are hard to know. But any health-advisory signs are worrisome to many. Last summer about 80 health warnings were posted around the St. Lucie River and other waterways in Martin. Tests from river samples showed that microcystis

The Yarmouth Port, Mass. animal-welfare organization had let the foundation and Hobe Sound Animal Protection League stay without charge. However, it opted to sell the property to fund some of other projects. The league runs a 180-resident no kill cattery. It found a new home last year. It, too, stayed in Palm City. Kinder said the new property cost about $400,000. She said the foundation got a 30-year mortgage with a very low interest rate, and a sponsor who’ll pay the interest for a decade. “We want to pay it off very early,” Kinder said. The new property has nine paddocks, 12 stalls, a storage barn and lighted arena. The foundation is at www.eraf. org. Its number is (772) 220-0150.
aeruginosa, a type of algae also called cyanobacteria, were releasing toxins harmful to animals and people. Much of the blame for that went to Army Corps of Engineers’ releases of nutrient-rich waters from Lake Okeechobee. More recently, news that a local fisherman caught a sheepshead fish with a large lesion in Bessey Creek got a lot of folks talking about 1998. That’s a year many remember for innumerable sick and dying fish in the St. Lucie River. Indeed, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission had verified reports of 17 fish with lesions in Palm City that year. Additionally, the Florida Department of Health in St. Lucie posted avoid-contact warnings for the North Fork of the St. Lucie from River Park Marina at Prima Vista Boulevard south to Martin County. Testing there also showed unacceptably elevated levels of enteric bacteria. Reinhold said most folks can boat with confidence on the river. He said the very old or very young do have more risks with any bacteria contact. The most likely health risks for those who ingest or come in contact with the contaminated water include upset stomach, diarrhea, eye irritations and skin rashes. “Cuts, that’s how the bacteria get into your skin,” Reinhold said. He said those who come in contact with the hazardous water should wash contact spots with antibacterial soap. The department tests weekly for bacteria. Results are available at www.floridahealth.gov/CHD/ Martin/Beach_and_River_Sampling.html.

If you can’t do something good, do nothing instead W
e in the medical field have often heard the phrase, “Do no harm.” Taking this a little further, I’d like to offer, “If you can’t do something good for someone, it is better to do nothing for them.” Everyone probably does not share my affection for this time of year, but with Easter week approaching, it is definitely a time where I look to do good for others. Doing good can be something that costs very little and all it takes is a little thought, creativity and time. The investment that you put into others by doing good can give a satisfactory yield that will last and pay itself forward to others. Once you determine that you want to do good, the next step is to determine how you will do good. Fortunately, most of us still have a conscience and do not have to ponder long on what is doing good and what is doing bad or not so good. We can use ourselves and our personal situation to determine how to do good. What do we not like to do, what do we not like to deal with, and what seems a pain to us? If you are like most, you will share a lot of those dislikes with other people you know. Maybe you hate taking out the trash. Chances are, someone in your office may feel the same way about the task.
Life has a good way of stressing us all and people in general need and appreciate good things being done for them. Let that person into traffic from the on-ramp, although traffic is thick and you might be running late.

Look around and find that trash can that is overflowing and surprise the person and empty their trash for them. It costs nothing, takes little time and results in you removing a disliked task from someone by doing this good deed. Look for the opportunities to lighten the load on someone else. You may remove that straw that is about to break their back. When and where do we do good? I’d venture to say every-

where. Life has a good way of stressing us all and people in general need and appreciate good things being done for them. Let that person into traffic from the on-ramp, although traffic is thick and you might be running late. Take the unleashed dog you find and hook him up to a leash and walk your neighborhood to see who it might belong to. Notice that person in the checkout line who might have to put some things back because they don’t have enough money and offer to pay for the put back items. The opportunities are all around us if we look. Again, the effort it takes is not much, but the impact it will have is extremely powerful. Finally, to whom do we do good? EVERYONE! Especially those who look, dress, and act differently than you. If we serve and do good only for those of whom we personally like and approve, are we not just showing “self-love”? Look for people to do good things for and you will see it change the world around you and change your own life for the better. I’ll paraphrase one of my favorite stories. A small boy is on the beach where thousands of starfish have washed up. The little boy is picking them up, one by one, and is throwing them back into the water. A man sees the little boy’s futile attempt at saving the enormous amount of beached starfish and walks up to talk to the boy.
“Son, what are you doing?” The little boy answered, “I’m throwing starfish back into the sea because if I don’t they’re going to die.” “But there are thousands of starfish. In the larger scheme of things you’re not going to make much of a difference to all these starfish.” The little boy looked up at him, stooped down again to pick up another starfish and, gently but quickly, flung it back into the ocean. “It’s going to make a big difference to that one” he replied. We might not be able change the whole world with doing good to those we meet each day, but we can possibly change that person’s whole world. Do good — it isn’t hard to do.

During April, think about the children Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — Of the 432 child deaths reported to Florida’s abuse hotline in 2012, 122 were caused by abuse and neglect, often at the hands of their parents. During the month of April, which is Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month, the state’s largest organization dedicated to helping children and families hopes to spread the word about its services with the hope of reducing the senseless statistics. “The month highlights, unfortunately, the reality of what is going on in the community, as far as kids being abused and neglected and again, unfortunately, to the extreme that kids are dying,” said Matthew Anderson, program director of Children’s Home Society of Florida on the Treasure Coast. According to an annual report published in December 2013 by the Child Abuse Death Review Committee, the number of child deaths verified due to abuse or neglect was 122. The number of verified child abuse deaths provided to the committee for review was 118. The report, which was submitted to Gov. Rick Scott, along with the State Senate president and the speaker of the Florida House, aims to eliminate preventable child abuse and neglect deaths, according to its content. The report was compiled from information from the Florida Abuse Hotline within the Department of Children and Family Services. In Florida, the estimated population of children ages 0-17 was 4,024,968 in calendar year 2012. Of those, 868,895 were under the age of 1 year and another 1,077,930 were under the age of 5, the report states. In 2012, 178,451 abuse reports were called into the abuse hotline. Seventy-one child deaths were caused by neglect and 47 were attributed to abuse. The majority of children who suffered maltreatment-related deaths in 2012 were less than three years of age, the report states. Twenty-two child deaths in 2012 were in St. Lucie County, seven in Indian River, two in
Okeechobee and no data was listed for Martin County. Increased awareness equals a decrease in deaths. “Abuse prevention (month) really strives to highlight programs, services and resources in the community that families and children can access to prevent that from escalating,” Anderson added. It’s also through education that the cycle of abuse can cease, Anderson said. CHS offers free programs that teach childcare techniques and how to make better life choices. One of CHS’s largest programs that touches the most children is the school-based program, “Teen Life Choices.” The program is offered to middle and high school kids and reaches 5,000 to 6,000 annually, Anderson said. “It teaches them about pregnancy prevention, bullying, self-esteem and basic life skills,” Anderson said. The classes also provide students who feel endangered with information on who to call and where they could go. The Safe Place program is another life-saver, Anderson said. Big yellow signs at local fire stations and Walgreens stores are designated safe places where children can take refuge. “If you don’t feel safe at home, go to one of these sites we set up and we monitor. If a kid comes to a Safe Place, the staff calls our 24-hour hotline and we send a counselor out to meet with that child, bring them back to our shelter and make sure they’re not going back to an unsafe situation,” Anderson said. “We’ll work with the families to resolve whatever situation is going on there that is contributing to that child’s fear.” CHS’s shelter is located in St. Lucie County and serves the Treasure Coast. Close to 250 children last year used beds at the safe haven. The shelter serves an additional 150 to 200 kids in the four counties. And the number rises each year, Anderson said. Economics could be a factor, Anderson said. “When the economy really started to go south, we had a lot of families in a lot of dysfunctional

Tesoro ‘Lessons for Freedom’ S.O.S. Venezuela On Saturday, April 12, 2004 Tesoro will be hosting “Lessons for Freedom” where 12 of some of the most popular tennis professionals in our area have donated their time and skills to “Lessons for Freedom” Event includes; 2 hour clinic (four half hour sessions) with four different professional, Venezuelan dinner, music, raffles and tennis exhibition. Time: 4:307:30pm (See attached registration form or visit www.racquetclubtesoro.com for more information) The mission of “S.O.S Venezuela” & “Soy Tu Voz Venezuela TC”, is to raise awareness of the present situation in my Country and to provide support to the Venezuelan people and students that are in need of basic things like medicine & food. “Quote” Winston Owen, event founder and Director of Operations at the Racquet Club at Tesoro. Why Venezuelan Protest? In Feb. 12, a series of protests, political demonstrations, and civil unrest occurred throughout Venezuela. The protests erupted largely as a result of the high levels of criminal violence, inflation, and chronic scarcity of basic goods. The protesters claim that these are caused by the economic policies of Venezuela’s government, including strict price controls, which allegedly have led to one of the highest inflation rates in the world.[ Early protests against crime began in January 2014, after actress and former Miss Venezuela Monica Spear and her husband

were killed on 6 January 2014 during a roadside robbery, while their five-year-old daughter was in the car. Another act of crime occurred in February, where the attempted rape of a young student on a university campus in San Cristobal led to protests from students over crime; these protests expanded to other cities, where opposition leaders quickly became involved. Student protests coincided with the commemoration of the Battle of La Victoria on 12 February 1814, during the Venezuelan War of Independence, when the independence forces armed thousands of college and seminary students at the shortage of troops. This date is also known as National Youth Day. 1. Insecurity: Venezuela is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Most Venezuelans are afraid to go outside. 2.

People losing their jobs, their houses.” CHS offers family and individual counseling and aims to keep parents out of jail, children safe and families intact, Anderson said. All services are free, except for its community mental health program that offers psychiatric services billed through Medicaid. “People know we’re not here to be judgmental. We’re not here to call law enforcement. We’re not here to get anybody in trouble,” Anderson said. “We’re actually here to keep them out of getting into trouble.” Children’s Home Society, which also facilitates adoptions and

Carl Domino Republican www.dominoforcongress.com TREASURE COAST — Carl Domino is a college student running for Congress. OK, he’s a non-traditional student with unusual things on his college resume — he’s a 20-year Navy veteran who’s done a stint as a state legislator. “I’m interested in Constitutional law,” Domino said about his studies at Nova Southeastern Law School. Domino is one of eight Republicans who’d announced candidacies with the Florida Division of Elections for Florida’s 18th Congressional District, which Democrat Patrick Murphy now holds. Murphy is running for reelection. The Jupiter investments manager said if elected to Congress his top priority will be economic revitalization. “The creation of jobs, that’s an umbrella issue,” he said. “We obviously have a 6 plus percent unemployment, but it’s really higher,” he said. The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s February jobs report puts the state’s unemployment at 6.1 percent, unchanged from the month before. The unemployment rate is calculated using a variety of methods. Among them are telephone interviews with workers. Those that report not having jobs and looking for employment in the previous 30 days are counted as unemployed. Discouraged workers — those who are able to work and want jobs, but have not sought employment in the previous 30 days — are not counted in the unemployment figure. Many call this “shadow unemployment,” and it’s difficult to track due to variations for why people don’t seek jobs. “If you take the labor participation rate it’s 62.8,” Domino said “The last time it was 62.8 was in the Carter Administration.”
Carl Domino The labor force participation rate, or economic activity rate, is the measurement between those in the labor force and the population of the same age range. The labor force participation rate has trended downward since about the late 1990s. Domino is certain that many want to join or rejoin the workforce, but remain discouraged workers. He believes there’s a three-part formula for improving the jobs market. The first part, he said, has nothing to do with what Congress can enact. Rather, Domino said, it’s a matter of how representatives and senators think and speak. “Humanizing entrepreneurs and businessmen,” he said. “There seems to be no appreciation for the risks entrepreneurs take.” The second part is seeking and tapping all available energy resources, such as suspected oil reservoirs that might be under some federally-owned and -managed properties. Domino said tapping domestic oil reservoirs is good for more than economic growth. “It’s a matter of national security,” he said. The candidate is in favor of developing alternative energy

sources, too. But, he said they’re widespread use is years if not decades off. “I’ve invested privately in a lot of alternative energies, but they take time,” Domino said. The third part of his plan is about reducing. “Get rid of burdensome regulation, which would include (the Affordable Care Act),” Domino said. “Obamacare is the granddaddy of burdensome regulation.” On the local front, Domino said the most important issue for Congress to tackle is environmental damage caused by discharges of nutrient-rich waters from Lake Okeechobee into local waterways that have fouled the Indian River. Domino said it’s a “bipartisan” concern, and he commended Murphy for his efforts to get funding for projects aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating the discharges. However, Domino said that the projects have state and federal components and being a Republican with eight years in the Florida House give him advantages over the Democratic congressman. “Unlike Patrick Murphy, I have the leadership of the (Florida Legislature) on my cell phone,” Domino said He later added, “I’m more likely to get money for these
things, because Republicans will control the (federal) budget for the next few years.” In addition to Domino, the Florida Division of Elections lists as active Republican candidates Ellen Andel, Brian Lara, Beverly Joy Hires, Ilya Katz, Alan Schlesinger, Calvin Deon Turnquest and Nick Robert Wukoson. Some of those candidates may have dropped their bids by press time. Qualifying for congressional races is April 28 to May 2. The district is tenuous for both major political parties. Between Martin and St. Lucie counties, there are about slightly more than 107,000 voters registered as Republicans, and about 102,600 Democrats. Some in Martin register Republican to vote in the primary elections, since county commission races are often decided in the primary. Another 71,890 voters in the two counties are registered with third parties or no affiliation. The primary election will be on Aug. 26. Early voting will be from Aug. 16 to 23rd. The general election will be on Nov. 4. Early voting will be from Oct. 20 to Nov. 1. Domino is married to Sharon, and they have 14-year-old twins, Reagan and Mason. He is 70.

PALM CITY— Sports, fun, family and great food — a recipe for success at the Martin Downs Sports Resort in Palm City. Building on a solid foundation of ingredients, the Martin Downs Sports Resort is pleased to announce the addition of Vince and Lisa Esposito to their staff as the food and beverage managers. The Martin Downs Sports Resort had good timing when they found the Espositos. While the Espositos have been in the food business for more than 57 years, as Vince grew up in his family’s deli and owning multiple businesses from pizzerias, bistros and restaurants, they were looking for a new opportunity locally. The new additions bring an impressive array of experience in the food industry, including
having owned Mangia Bocellis in Palm City until 2011. In addition to their local presence, Espositos had a few moments in the limelight when they were featured on the Cooking Channel in a series of Mo Rocca’s “My Grandmother’s Ravioli” — Pizza, Pasta and Pumping Iron — where they shared their tried-and-true recipes, some of which are already being shared with the sports resort’s members. “We are excited about the experience Vince and Lisa bring to the table for our members. Their passion for food and for family, as well as their connection with the community, make it a great fit,” said Martin Downs Sports Resort owner Deanna Kernan. Vince and Lisa hail from the

PALM CITY — Martin County cops have dangerous jobs. Detective Ben Fennell. His is particularly dangerous. “It is potentially one of the most dangerous jobs,” Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said. “He’s going after armed poachers.” Usually by himself. Backup is miles away, and between Fennell and other cops are lots of land, lots of trees, and often lots of poor roads. The Palm City native is an agricultural crimes detective. His beat usually has him in Palm City and parts westward. The Pegasus Foundation of Hobe Sound recently recognized Fennell with the Pegasus Wing Award for Public Safety Beyond the Call. The foundation gave him the award for saving about “one dozen neglected, malnourished and abused horses in three separate cases.” Fennell agreed to an interview reluctantly. The 13-year law-enforcement veteran is quiet, reserved. Almost shy. He talks

about the people he must confront with respect and compassion. He speaks with as much compassion for the animals he’s charged to protect. “People think they are horse rescuers,” Fennell said. “I call them horse hoarders. They don’t realize they can’t afford these large animals.” Fennell said most animal neglect cases start with tips. Neighbors and equestrians driving by properties sometimes see horses that appear extremely unhealthy and report it. Sometimes the poor health is likely due to a lack of space. There are differing opinions about how much space horses need to remain healthy, but it’s widely accepted that without enough room horses get sickly. Oftentimes, Fennell said, it’s because well-meaning people don’t have the financial resources needed to properly care for horses. “This lady was hording horses and thought she was doing good,” Fennell said. But one had developed lamini-

The woman was unable to get proper veterinarian care, and for months had been trying to treat the animal with home remedies. Fennell said he tries to educate folks how horses are affected by these decisions before asserting his authority to remove them. “We’re like the voices for these animals,” he said. Not all the animals Fennell protects are pets. “Gators are being slaughtered out west,” Founder said. “We’re

Disco legends perform at Lyric Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
STUART — If you’ve been to a wedding in the past four decades and you’re between 4 and 104, you’ve gotten up to dance to “Y.M.C.A,’ by the Village People. The disco group, founded in 1977, has sold more than 100 million records and taught generations at least four letters of the alphabet. The group comes to the Lyric Theatre April 16 for two shows. Eric Anzalone, who joined the group in 1995 and plays The Biker, and Alex Briley, an original member, who plays The Soldier, spoke in separate interviews about the jobs that changed their lives. Anzalone studied theater and music at the University of Miami. In 2012, he completed an online degree from Arizona State summa cum laude in film and media. “I’ve been a musician my whole life,” he said. “The journey started as an actor, and I’ve been acting and doing films on my own. I still had an interest. About five years ago, I thought, ‘I’ve been in the industry over 20 years. Maybe I should find out more about it.’ I spend so much time on planes and in hotels. If I could get a degree and learn the business I’m in, that was awesome.” Anzalone found that going back

Teens take theatrical trip to tropical island Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
STUART — StarStuck Performing Arts Center has had great luck with the Broadway musical, “Once on this Island.” In 2007, Jennifer and Peter Jones took a group of students to Atlanta for a theater conference. They won several awards for their production of the musical. “The big thing that came of it was that StarStruck was noticed on a national stage,” Jennifer Jones said. “We got a call from MTI, (the licensing agency for many shows) asking us to be a pilot school for new works, debuting either the school or junior version of shows. “We produced the world premiere of the school edition of ‘Rent’ and ‘Sweeney Todd,’ and the world premiere of ‘Beauty and the Beast Junior.’ It put us on the map in a very big way.” StarStuck’s Teen Stars will present the show April 17-19. Jennifer Jones spoke recently about some of the legacies from that trip to Atlanta. “They told us how they loved to see how we mixed ages,” she said. “We were one of the only schools with a huge mix of ages. We had children from 7-8 all the way to 18. The judges were in awe of how well they worked together. When Peter and I were talking about a spring show, we thought it was time for an all-school show. The seniors are graduating
and it’s good for the youngsters to see how the older kids work.” The one-act musical has book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty. It is set in the French Antilles and is the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who uses love to unite people of different social classes. “There’s a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ theme,” Jones said. “It’s based on the same story as ‘The Little Mermaid.’ The young girl, Ti Moune, falls in love with the wealthy prince. There is the difference in social class. It’s tough when people are grounded in old-fashioned beliefs that go back hundreds and thousands of years.” The show has four gods who are supposed to make decisions. “It’s ‘a tale as old as time,’” Jones said. “It’s two people who aren’t supposed be in love who fall in love. The gods battle it out and Ti Moune is the pawn.” The cast of the family-friendly show includes Becca Suskauer as Ti Moune; Kim Dodt as Mama Eurlie, Ti Moune’s mother; Josh Bahos as Ton Ton, Ti Moune’s father; Justin Wagner as Daniel, the Prince; Kevin Paul as Erzulie, the God of Love; Andrew Rodgers as Agwe, the God of Water; Christina Reagan Mama Ge, the God of Death; and Katie Rodgers as Asaka, the God of Earth. Kevin Paul and Katie Rodgers will reunite Photo courtesy of StarStruck Performing Arts Center May 9-10 for the wonderful musical, “The Katie Rodgers portrays the God of Earth in StarStruck Last Five Years.” Paul, son of Jennifer and Performing Arts Center’s production of the musical, on this Island. The show will be performed April See ISLAND page B4 “Once 17-19 at the StarStruck Theatre.

Church holding ‘Eggstravaganza’ on Easter FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
MARTIN COUNTY — Treasure Coast Community Church is inviting the Treasure Coast Community to take part in its Eighth Annua spectacular Easter Celebration. “Easter Eggstravaganza 2014”! The fun set for Sunday, April 20, on the soccer fields at Pineapple Park in Jensen Beach just off Jensen Beach Boulevard. The event will host a helicopter egg drop, face painting, games, tons of free candy, and a lot of fun along with hot dogs and drinks available for purchase. For all of those children that dream about candy falling from the sky, Easter 2014 will be the opportunity for those dreams come true. The mad dash for Easter eggs will take place at 12:30 p.m., at which time the helicopter will drop 25,000 eggs onto the huge soccer field. Children ages birth through fifth grade will then be let loose to gather as many
plastic eggs as they can. Parents with children 3 years and older are asked to remain on the sidelines. The plastic eggs can then be redeemed for candy and some of the brightly colored eggs will be filled with money. Please arrive early to take part in all of the events of the day. Treasure Coast Community Church, also known as TC3, is always striving to be the church that takes care of the families in our community and puts the fun back into children’s church. The Easter Eggstravanganza will begin at 11:30 am at Pineapple Park in Jensen Beach just off Jensen Beach Boulevard. All families are also welcome to attend Easter Sunday service at Treasure Coast Community Church, services will be held at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. TC3’s Sunday morning services are located at 20 N.E. Dixie Highway in Jensen Beach. Children’s Sunday school programs are also offered at both services. Please visit us at www. tc3.org.
