St. Lucie creates AAF opposition fund Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — St. Lucie County joined its neighbors. At its May 5 regular meeting, the
County Commission set aside $500,000 to combat the proposed high-speed passenger train slated to run 32 trips a day between Miami and Orlando. “St Lucie County was the first community to come out publicly opposing the project,” Commis-
sioner Tod Mowery, District 2, said in an interview after the meeting “St. Lucie County has remained committed to evaluating the impacts of this project on our residents.” Indian River County — which set up a $2.7 million fund to oppose
All Aboard Florida — has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation and one or its undersecretaries for giving All Aboard Florida the green light to sell up to $1.75 billion in

Moving Martin forward County MPO adds waterways to Long Range Transportation Plan Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

MARTIN COUNTY — The Martin County
Metropolitan Planning Organization, MPO, is looking for help deciding how folks will get around for the next few decades. “This is their opportunity to share what they want the transportation network to look like in 25 years,” Beth Beltran, administrator, said. The MPO is forming its long range transportation plan, which federal laws require every five years. The plan includes a wide array of
transportation, from roads and light rail to pedestrian walkways and bicycle lanes. “For the first time waterways will be a component to our long range transportation plan,” Beltran said. “We wanted to look at the waterways as a mode of transportation. At one time, it was the primary mode of trans-

portation here.” Indeed, Stuart is the eastern end of the Okeechobee Waterway, which stretches from Fort Myers to Martin. Every population center in the county is connected by water. “We’re at a unique crossroads here.” Darrell Brand, Palm City boater, said. Brand said that many boats can travel the St. Lucie as far north as White City, the southern side of Fort Pierce. He said the Indian River Lagoon stretches to Daytona Beach. Brand said adding waterways to the county’s longrange transportation plan makes a lot of sense. “It’s a great boating area,” Brand said. “That’s why you’re seeing the boating industry growing and growing.” Beltran said that the MPO is doing public workshops to tell people about the transportation planning, and to gather their transportation priorities with “Martin Mobility Bucks.” That is, workshop attendees get five “$20 bills” to put into boxes representing 10 transportation priorities. Waterways, by the way, rank fifth place in the workshop attendees’ priorities so far. New roads was below that, sixth place. The top

AAF from page 1 bonds through the Florida Development Finance Corp. before the agency had completed evaluation of the impact statement. The Martin County Commission jumped onboard the lawsuit train on April 27. It tapped the $1.4 million opposition fund it created to file suit against the U.S. Department of Transportation challenging the private activity bonds it OK’d late last year for All Aboard Florida to raise capital. Last year the company submitted an Environmental Impact Statement to the Federal Railroad Administration as part of the process for securing an about $1.5 billion Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan from the federal government. In late December, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave All Aboard Florida permission to sell about $1.75 billion in bonds that would be issued through Florida Development Finance Corp. The FDFC will have a public hearing about whether to issue the bonds on May 28 in Orlando. St. Lucie Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky requested $1 million from the general fund’s reserves. He said the commission set aside half that much now and can increase it at later meetings.
spot is a little surprising. “More bicycle facilities would definitely be number 1,” Beltran said. Of the 905 $20 mobility bucks the MPO collected at workshops, 157 were placed in boxes for bike lanes and pathways. Maitainance of existing roadways took the silver spot with 140. Improvements to pedestrian facilities is in the bronze place with 132. That’s fallowed by more public transit, which has 115. Park-and-ride facilities is at the bottom of the list with nine Martin Mobility Bucks. Beltan said the MPO is eager to get out to speak to more groups about the Long Range Transportation Plan. Additionally, folks can learn more and give their thoughts at www.martin1040. com. Additionally, the MPO has public-participation kiosks at the county’s libraries, including the Peter & Julie Library, 2551 S.W. Matheson Ave., Palm City. “They need to let us know,” Beltran said. For more, call (772) 223-7983. Editor’s note: Patrick McCallister is a member of the Martin County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Martin County Commissioner Ed Fielding appointed him to the position in April.
“We know this fight is important to the people and we’ll continue to fight it,” he said. K.C. Traylor, co-founder of opposition group Florida Not All Aboard, said the counties’ funds are likely giving potential investors pause. “It shows that the Treasure Coast will not be steamrolled by All Aboard Florida,” she said. Mowery and Dzadovsky said St. Lucie and other counties communicate with each other about All Aboard Florida, but aren’t planning legal strategies together. Dzadovsky said each county will have their own legal issues with the project, although there’s bound to be some overlapping ones. “I respect my colleges in the counties north and south of me,” he said. “I think they’ll take the appropriate action for their constituents.” All Aboard Florida is projecting to run from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The company plans on starting limited service between West Palm Beach and Miami by next year. By 2017 the company hopes to have trains going the entire proposed 235-mile route, mostly on existing Florida East Coast Industry rails along the Indian River.

All Aboard Florida speaks to 9/12 group Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — Russell “Rusty” Roberts told the 9/12 Tea Party group there’s a lot of misinformation about All Aboard Florida, and once it’s running, everybody will benefit. Roberts spoke at the group’s May 7 meeting. He met a lot of skepticism. “The people do not want you here,” a woman in the audience told Roberts. “Trains have been here for 100 years,” he answered. Roberts turned to a silhouette of Florida showing the proposed route for the high-speed train from Miami to Orlando. “People don’t like it here,” he said, pointing to the Treasure Coast. “But they like it here, and they like it there,” he continued, pointing to Central and South Florida. The audience never warmed up. In an interview after the meeting, Roberts said that opposition

Environmentalist icon urges County Commission to nix road work for extending sewer D
ear Commissioners,
I understand that you are being accused of driving a stake through the heart of (Community Development Areas) because you are carefully looking at spending priorities. The somewhat hysterical attacks by Barbara Clowdus and the anonymous emailer “D Bell” seem aimed more at deriding, discrediting, and derailing the current commission majority rather than addressing the larger issues surrounding the CRAs. TIF money is county taxpayers money. It would be part of the general fund if it were not sequestered for CRAs. The vast majority of county residents live in neighborhoods where they do not get a pot of tax money returned to them to do as they choose. Keep those taxpayers in mind. Reining in spending cannot allow sacred cows. You have made some harsh and necessary decisions about cutting back county services. Fancy improvements for seven small areas when you can’t afford to fill pot holes in the rest of the county, doesn’t make fiscal sense. It doesn’t have to be a question of killing the CRAs or coddling them. I think there are two big
Maggy Hurchalla issues you need to address. The original purpose of the CRAs was to provide basic urban services to the old downtown areas that grew up around railroad stations. They need sewer and water and parking. Those are projects that existing small businesses and owners of small lots can’t afford to do by themselves.Those are big capital items that are much more important than signs and streetlights. Tax increment financing funds are not sufficient on a yearly basis to support those big capital projects. You do NOT want to bond TIF funds. The experience of the recent recession clearly demonstrated that tax in-

crement financing cannot survive a housing recession. That means that the big capital projects that are needed to bringing those areas up to speed can’t be funded. If sewer and water are the top priority, then make them a priority. Don’t do it for one or two property owners. You have a plan for providing sewer and water to each of the core areas of the CRA. Make those your capital projects and get them done. Then review the CRA “bonuses” that allow intense development and make sure your build out projections fit your service levels and sewer and water capacity. The second issue is the suburban areas around the core of the CRAs. Almost everyone agrees most of these areas aren’t blighted. They are clearly not slums. They are similar to neighborhoods all over the county that are not part of a CRA. Somewhere along the line there has to be a better explanation of why they are included in the CRA. For those neighborhoods, being in the CRA brings two concerns. One is the fact that the zoning and the intensity of use has been increased without the full understanding of most of the residents. The modular-trailer home controversy in Hobe Sound demonstrates what the problem is. Two is the restrictions on new building and rebuilding that go along with being part of a CRA. Do you really want to tell people
in happy suburban neighborhoods that they have to have a front porch and the garage needs to be behind the house? Isn’t that big government? Doesn’t it cost a lot of money to pay planners to tell individual homeowners what to do? Is it necessary? I hope you will stay the course in spite of criticism. The fact that there is lots of money involved that can be channeled to a few property owners means that there will be loud objection to a rigorous spending review. Be brave and fiscally conservative. Maggy Hurchalla Editor’s note: The Martin County Commission in a 3-2 vote nixed proposed Old Palm City Community Redevelopment Area Mapp Road improvements from the county’s five-year capital improvement plan at its April 21 meeting. That seemed to be the end of the Mapp Road Town Center Design — created in 2003 — for the foreseeable future. However, at an April 28 meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency, which has the same members as the commission, Michael Durham, county attorney, said the capital improvement plan meeting was continued, so no decisions made so far are final, and the commission is free to replace the proposed $1.4 million Mapp improvements to the capital improvement plan.

TREASURE COAST — Life has legal matters to attend to. Villafranco & Garcia is here to help. “We were both sole practitioners on the Treasure Coast,” partner Francisco “Frank” Garcia said. “We wanted to offer our clients a broader range of legal services.” The two started Villafranco & Garcia in April. Garcia has a host of experience in personal injury and commercial litigation. Leonard “Lenny” Villafranco has spent much of his legal career in criminal and family law. Garcia said both have longstanding reputations for listening. “We provide not just legal services, but legal counseling,” Garcia said. In other words, Villafranco & Garcia is about taking time with clients and helping them work through their legal questions mindful that people’s lives are much more than cases. In law there are decisions, and those decisions affect people’s lives. “It’s spending the time with

groups have done a good job getting their messages to the Treasure Coast. “The Florida Not All Aboard and (Citizens Against Rail Expansion in Florida) people have put out a lot of what I characterize as misinformation designed to evoke emotions,” he said. He added, “Major infrastructure projects — opponents tend to overstate the problems and underestimate the benefits.” He points west and back to the 1920s to the Golden Gate Bridge. Roberts said the now iconic bridge faced fierce opposition, including litigation, from quarters ranging from the federal government to area residents. The Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District’s website reads that there was an eightyear period of intense opposition and litigation. Today it’s so hard to imagine San Francisco without the bridge that the “Star Trek” television and movie franchise has the Golden Gate next to Star Fleet Command 350 years from now. All Aboard Florida isn’t the Golden Gate Bridge, however. It’s not a historic landmark, and it’s still facing a lot of skepticism and opposition on the Treasure Coast, which it will cut through without stopping. On May 5, the St. Lucie County Commission joined Martin and Indian River counties in setting up an opposition fund. St. Lucie set aside $500,000 to battle All Aboard Florida. Mowery said the commission is open to adding more if needed. He said St. Lucie isn’t a latecomer to opposing All Aboard Florida. “St. Lucie County was the first community to come out publicly opposing the project,” Mowery said. “St. Lucie County has remained committed to evaluating the impacts of this project on our residents.” Indian River County — which set up a $2.7 million fund to oppose All Aboard Florida — has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation and one or its undersecretaries for giving All Aboard Florida the green light to sell up to $1.75 billion in bonds through the Florida Development Finance Corp. before the agency had completed evaluation of the impact statement. The Martin County Commission jumped onboard the lawsuit train on April 27. It tapped the $1.4 million opposition fund it created to file suit against the U.S. Department of Transportation challenging the private activity bonds it OK’d late last year for All Aboard Florida to raise capital. Last year the company submitted an Environmental Impact
Statement to the Federal Railroad Administration as part of the process for securing an about $1.5 billion Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan from the federal government. In late December, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave All Aboard Florida permission to sell about $1.75 billion in bonds that would be issued through Florida Development Finance Corp. The FDFC will have a public hearing about whether to issue the bonds on May 28 in Orlando. Even as the suits are filed, All Aboard Florida is moving ahead on starting the first leg of its route. Construction on the 60,000-square-foot West Palm Beach station started in November. The station is on Quadrille Boulevard, bounded by Datura and Evernia streets. The 60,000-square-foot Fort Lauderdale station was started in October. The other station is in Miami. Michael Reininger, All Aboard Florida’s president, has told Your Voice News & Views that by the end of 2016 All Aboard Florida will have its first phase taking passengers between and the Magic and Orchid cities with a stop in between them in Fort Lauderdale. Plans are to start service to Orlando by 2017. At the 9/12 Tea Party meeting, Roberts got numerous questions about the company’s ridership and financial projections and proposed ticket pricing. Roberts declined to give information that, for now, is available to qualified investors, those who’ve shown the ability to invest $100,000 or more. “When any business comes to town, be it a Walmart of bicycle repair shop, do you demand to know if they’ll make money,” he said. He added, “You don’t invest this kind of money without researching the market.” Roberts said there are about 500 million trips a year between South and Central Florida and the company only needed a small fraction of that traffic to sustain itself. “We think we spotted a trend and have a market,” he said. He rebuffed suggestions of going no farther north than West Palm Beach. “We need to go to Orlando to make this viable,” he said. Additionally, Roberts said All Aboard Florida isn’t moving to tracks toward the state’s interior for several reasons. Primarily because the parent company, Florida East Coast Industries, owns tracks along the Indian River. In the interview after the meeting, Roberts said that Fort Pierce

is a likely stop not many years after All Aboard Florida starts service. He said the planned 32 trips a day will eventually be divided between express and local service. That is, some trains will go from Miami to Orlando with only a couple stops to keep the trip within three hours. That’s “express.” Some runs will make more stops. That’s “local.” “We might only do one stop on the Treasure Coast, maybe two,” he said.

However, he said local governments will have to work with All Aboard Florida to get those “quiet zones.” “If the railroad put in an application to the (Federal Railroad Administration), it would be rejected,” he said. He said the company will foot part or all of the expense if the crossings are upgraded during construction. He said going back to upgrade crossings is more expensive. Roberts said that much of the opposition All Aboard Florida faces on the Treasure Coast is due to its failure to talk to the community and address concerns sooner. “We could have done better,” he said. “We have a good story to tell and we have a good product.”

GRADUATION from page 12 rests or deaths. Each year, nearly 75 percent of the graduating class from each school attends their respective events. This year, Project Graduations will be held on May 27 for Jensen Beach High School, May 28 for Martin County High School, and May 29 for South Fork High School. After each high school’s graduation, graduating seniors flock to the YMCA Sportsworld to check-in to the “locked down” event, where they remain until 4 a.m. the next morning. There, they enjoy a night with their classmates, with catered meals, a D.J., skating, an activity zone, and the chance to win one of the many prizes donated by community sponsors. The primary goal of the event is to keep students safe, but the experience is much more for the students who attend. “Project Graduation was a great way to end my high school experience,” said South Fork High School graduate Lily Tysinger. “It gave everyone a chance to celebrate and hang out before we went our separate ways. There is no other setting where your entire senior class can get together to just enjoy the last part of high school.” The Project Graduation Foundation Board of Directors works year-round to plan and raise funds to host these events each
year. Sponsorships and donations from community members make Project Graduation possible. “Project Graduation has made a significant impact on our community over the past 19 years,” said board chairwoman Linda Fitzpatrick. “The event would simply not be possible without the generous support of our community, and for that we owe our gratitude and the gratitude of Martin County graduates for generations to come.” Project Graduation is sponsored by the Frances Langford Foundation, Keiser University, Certified Collision Experts, LLC, Advantage Ford of Stuart – John Hall, Indian River State College, Mark Brechbill, PLLC, Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Martin County Fire Fighters and Paramedics, The Allstate Foundation, Tami Karol Insurance Agency, Inc., Publix Supermarkets, Plantation Beach Club at Indian River Plantation, Keiser College of Golf and Sport Management, Tykes and Teens, Inc., C.O.R.E.

Safe! South Fork High School Bulldog Samantha Williams slides safely into third base after pinch running for Kayli Gebhardt following her double. The Bulldogs came from behind to tie the game and then win in the tenth inning over Doral to earn the Region 6-4A championship softball title. The Bulldogs went on to be one of the final four teams at Dodgertown in Vero Beach but were eliminated in the semifinals.

But this simple lung cancer screening can increase your odds.
Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer. Symptoms usually appear in the latest stages, when it is the deadliest. Low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs for current and former smokers can detect lung cancer at the earliest stages before symptoms appear, improving the cure rate to as high as 90 percent.

MARTIN COUNTY – Concert-goers will have a chance to hear three popular Treasure Coast singers as the Barn Theatre presents “Divas of Song” May 17 at 2 p.m. Amaya Crichton, Mary Murphy and Sharon Owens will present music that spans genres from classical to Broadway to contemporary Jim Docter is overseeing the concert but says he isn’t the director. “I’m assisting them and helping them,” he said. “It’s their vision. These girls are so unique in their talent and they have so much respect for each other. There’s no competition. That’s how comfortable they are in their talent. The focus is three amazing voices with entirely different styles, spanning three different generations.” Amaya Crichton is the youngest of the three and Docter predicts a bright future for her. “She has a strong gift and it’s growing,” he said. “She has the ability to sell songs that’s already evident. She has a great ear and great musicality. She’ll sing more contemporary works, newer Broadway and stuff from the ‘50s

Treasure Coast Hospice receives Hospice Honors recognition TREASURE COAST — Treasure Coast Hospice recently received two Hospice Honors recognitions for 2015. Recipients of this prestigious honor include: Treasure Coast Hospice St. Lucie Home Team and Treasure Coast Hospice Martin Hospice House. The Hospice Honors were established by Deyta, a healthcare data management service, and recognize hospices that continuously provide the highest level of satisfaction through their care as measured from the caregiver’s point of view. Deyta used the Family Evaluation of Hospice Care survey results from more than 1,700 partnering hospice agencies around the country contained in Deyta’s survey database with an evaluation period of October 2013 through September 2014. Deyta identified Hospice Honors recipients by evaluating hospices’ performance on a set of eighteen satisfaction indicator measures. Individual hospice performance scores were collected for the evaluation period and were compared on a question-by-question basis to a national average score calculated from Deyta’s database. Hospices who scored

DIVAS from page 25 and ‘60s she’s listened to with her folks and put her own twist on. She’ll sing something from Adele and music everyone will love. They may not have heard it, but they’ll love it.” Mary Murphy is a classically trained artist who loves the oldstyle lyrical Broadway shows of Rodgers and Hammerstein. “She appears up and down the coast,” Docter said. “She has a reputation as a classical singer. She’ll sing light opera as well as Broadway from the ‘50s and ‘60s and newer soprano diva songs.” Sharon Owens, a staple of musical theater on the Treasure Coast, completes the triumvirate. “She does it all,” Docter said. “She loves everything from the belt songs to ballads.

There are not a lot of venues for a concert. It’s wonderful thing to bring to the community. There’s so much talent here. I used to work with a cruise line, where they had cabaret acts. We’re trying to create and environment to present talent and wow you with it. This is what real community theater is.” The Barn Theatre, 2400 E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart, presents “Divas of Song 2015 May 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10. Call the box office at (772) 287-4884 or at the website www.barn-theatre.com.
