Spinning a memorial Patrick McCallister Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — By all accounts Lynn Perciasepe inspired countless folks they could do it. Whatever the “it” was for them. Lynn was a fitness instructor at the Martin Health System’s Health & Fitness Center, 3066 S.W. Martin Downs Blvd. almost right up to the day she died.
“She was a hard worker,” her son, Nicholas, 11, said. “She would never stop, even when they tried to get her to stop. She was always the one to push you to go further.” Lynn died on Feb. 15, at age 54, after a long struggle with lung cancer. She never smoked. Her co-workers wanted to do something to memorialize her.

PALM CITY — Edgar Cortright probably stopped by Earth’s orbit, the moon and Mars before heading onto heaven. He had a few satellites and robotic probes to look at one last time before moving onto eternity. Cortright died on Sunday, May 4, following a stroke. He was 90. The World War II Navy pilot was in the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik
in 1958. The nation quickly geared up for spaceflight after that, and he was put on the taskforce that formed NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Cortright held numerous jobs in NASA. His last was director of the Langley Research Center in Virginia. “I was very proud of the first lunar mission, the Surveyor,” Cortright said in a 1998 interview with Rich Dinkel for the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project. “I was very proud of

Dollars flow to the St. Lucie River, Indian River Lagoon Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — The Florida Senate Select Committee on Indian River Lagoon and Lake Okeechobee put forth an ambitious wish list with a $220 million price tag spread over three years. Instead it got about $232 million out of a $77.1 billion budget the Florida Legislature approved this session. “I think this community made a persuasive case that this environmental crisis is not just a problem with the Treasure Coast, but part of a broader regional and statewide issue,” Sen. Joe Negron, Stuart, said in a telephone interview after the legislative session. “Our community worked very hard to make the case.” Negron headed up the select committee, which had a series of public hearings last summer during the height of the Army Corps of Engineers releases of large amounts of water from Lake
Okeechobee. Much of that nutrient-rich water made its way into the C-44 and onto the St. Lucie and Indian rivers causing extensive environmental problems that drew large and highly-publicized protests. Negron was also the chairman of the Florida Senate’s Appropriations Committee during the last session. His district extends along the Indian River from southern Martin to Indian River counties. Among other pitches for the extraordinary funding on the select committee’s wish list, Negron gave Will Weatherford, Speaker of the Florida House, a personal tour of the C-44, St. Lucie and Indian rivers to show him the environmental damage done by the discharges. Additionally, he appealed to Senate President Don Gaetz, whose Panhandle district was hit hard by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. “He told me that all of Florida came to their aid when they had the oil spill, and he wanted to be there for our community,” Negron said.

May. “Overall, I think that Florida came through in an extraordinary way for our community,” Negron said. Among the most significant items that got full funding, Negron said, was $40 million for construction of an additional phase of the C-44 reservoir and storm-water treatment areas. While that wouldn’t stop future releases of water from Lake Okeechobee— “The C-44 is one of the key projects that will enable us to store water during the rainy time, so that discharges east and west can be reduced,” Negron said. The Army Corps of Engineers releases water from the lake to prevent levee failures. When the water is at 18.5 feet vertical datum level, the probability of a levee breach is about 45 percent. At 21, levee failure is assured. Last summer, heavy rains had the lake around 16 feet for extended periods of time.

Murphy given the Spirit of Enterprise Award Patrick McCallister Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce likes Representative Patrick Murphy’s voting record. On Monday, May 12, Moore Hallmark, executive director of the chamber’s Southeast Region, presented Murphy, D-Jupiter, with a Spirit of Enterprise Award at a Martin County Council of Chamber of Commerce luncheon. “Today’s award is very important to me,” the congressman said after receiving the award. “I’m one of only seven Democrats in Congress to get the award, and one of only two freshmen.” The U.S. Chamber announced the recipients of the awards in March. In the House, 206 representatives received the awards. Additionally, 32 senators received the awards. The chamber grad-
ed representatives on 13 votes, senators eight. Murphy voted favorably in 10 of the evaluated votes, including for the No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013, and for a delay to implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, frequently called “Obamacare.” Murphy said that while he generally supported the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2009, he voted to delay implementation because there were too many components that weren’t ready by rollout time last year. He blasted Democrats who pushed to keep the ACA on schedule despite obvious problems, and Republicans who took repeal legislation to the House floor dozens of times. “Health care in our nation is broken,” Murphy said. “It’s expensive. Let’s work together to get

CORTRIGHT from page A1 Viking.” The Surveyor program was seven robotic probes America sent to the lunar surface from 1966 to 1968. Five made soft landings, proving it could be done, and transmitted priceless data that helped the manned Apollo program reach its goal — landing humans on the moon and returning them to earth safely. Viking was the famous robotic mission to Mars that started successful planetary exploration and gave Americans one more thing to celebrate during the nation’s bicentennial, 1976. “(It was the) First successful soft landing on Mars,” NASA’s chief historian, Bill Barry, told Your Voice. “A couple (robotic probes) hit Mars, but they didn’t last long. Viking was the first successful lander on Mars.” Barry said the four probes that made up Viking, two orbital and two landers, gave the world its first good look of the universe from the surface of another planet. It was also mankind’s first attempt to find signs of past or present life on another planet robotically. The mission was so successful that the landed robotic exploration elsewhere in the solar system continues with

Researchers to use motorized vehicles at night to conduct surveys on nesting sea turtles FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
The public is advised that through the month of May, researchers from Project Leatherback, Inc. will be on Martin County beaches at night studying nesting leatherback turtles. This team of sea turtle researchers has been permitted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The public is advised these researchers will be using ATVs to conduct the surveys. The surveys will take place
from 9 p.m.-6 a.m. During these hours, residents and visitors may encounter these researchers utilizing ATVs driven at or below the most recent high tide line. The ATVs will bear signs that read “sea turtle research” and researchers will wear a t-shirt stating the same. Researchers will also be carrying identification, cell phones, research permits and a pamphlet detailing the work. Martin County recognizes the importance of sea turtle nesting on local beaches and is supportive of this research.

SPIN from page A1
Brian and Nicholas Perciasepe see the spin machine painted to memorialize Lynn Periasepe, wife and mothe. Lynn died of lung cancer on Feb 15. The fitness instructor never smoked. She worked at the Martin Health System’s Health & Fitness Center, 3066 S.W. Martin Downs Blvd., Palm City.
They hit on the idea of painting one of the center’s spin machines pink, and adding her name to it. Perfect, her husband, Brian, said. “Lynn loved to wear bright flashy clothes,” he said. Brian said Lynn worked in publishing much of her life. She was good at it, he said, but wanted something else. “She was a fitness nut,” Brian said. “We went to the gym together all the time.” He, and others, urged Lynn to become a fitness instructor. She did, about a decade ago. “Every instructor and student respected her,” Nancy Aldrich, the center’s supervisor, said. “(She was) just so full of life. That didn’t end when she got sick. She was an inspiration.” Nancy said many were dumbfounded that Lynn developed cancer. She said Lynn used it to say it to say it’s important to take care of health before major complications make it impossible. Brian said Lynn never showed any bitterness about getting cancer and often expressed gratitude for her life just as it was. Nicholas remembers a mother who was not just hard working, demanding and encouraging. He remembers a mom who loved music and fun. “We used to have pillow fights,” he said. “She would always win, and call herself ‘The Queen.’” The memorial spin machine is on display at the center. It’ll eventually be moved to the spin room.

MARTIN COUNTY — Of all the aviation destinations in the Western Hemisphere, one of the most acclaimed for customer service is a locally run business in Stuart. In a survey of more than 4,500 fixed-based operators, Stuart Jet Center was ranked No. 5 for outstanding performance in a wide range of service areas, beating out larger FBOs throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and South and Central America. Stuart Jet Center ranked higher than its competitors in Palm Beach, Orlando, Miami, New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, among many others.
ducted the survey, which evaluated FBOs on: · Line Service · Passenger Amenities · Pilot Amenities · Facilities · Customer Service Participants rated FBOs in each of the categories on a scale from 1 to 10 — (10 being the highest). With an overall average rating of 9.1, Stuart Jet Center also received a survey-leading 9.6 score for exceptional line service. “We are thrilled to receive such a distinctive honor, especially considering the fact that our facility is much smaller than many of the fixed-base operators

programs such as the Cassini-Huygens and the upcoming Titan Saturn System Mission. “We were lucky to get the money to do Viking,” Cortright said in his ‘98 interview. “And that was a struggle. And that cost, what, almost a billion dollars, certainly three-quarters of a billion dollars for the Viking.” Viking had given the world almost everything known about the Red Planet until a more advance generation of probes started examining Mars in the 2000s. Barry said Cortright made numerous other contributions to space and planetary exploration as chief of Advanced Technology Programs and other roles at NASA. Among other things, he directed the Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) and Nimbus meteorological satellite programs in the 1960s. TIROS-1 was the first satellite that could sense and report things happening on Earth. It was a revolutionary for scientists and others to see Earth from orbit. But, the role for which Cortright will likely be best remembered for by name was as chairman of the Apollo 13 Review Board. On April 13, 1970, the seventh manned Apollo mission, and third aiming for a lunar landing, exploded during a routine oxygen-tank check. The moon mission suddenly became an on-thefly rescue operation as astronauts James “Jim” Lovell, John “Jack” Swigert and Fred Haise faced enormous odds against their safe return to earth. Barry said Cortright likely saved America’s manned space flight by leading the investigation that tracked down the cause of the mysterious explosion with an efficient, level-headed, thorough approach. Barry said at the time there were numerous folks in Washington, D.C., eager to cut the space program out of federal budgets, and Apollo 13 gave them plenty of excuse. “The (Apollo) program could have ended right there,” Barry said. “They did the review and found out what happened. The Cortright

Commission made some recommendations and Apollo 14 flew not long afterward.” That was on Jan. 31, 1971. It was followed by Apollo 15, 16 and 17 all heading to the moon. The Apollo Application Program gave the world the Skylab Space Station in the early ‘70s. Apollo’s last mission was the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. That program was followed by the Space Transportation System (space shuttle) from 1981 to 2011. America has no operational manned spaceflight program, but is gearing up for future missions with the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. The cause of the mysterious explosion that almost ended America’s manned space flight? What seemed like a minor oops that investigators could have easily missed. “The failure occurred — it starts out with the oxygen tank,” Cortright said in the oral-history interview. “It was on a shelf, and they were taking it out and replacing with it or doing something with it at the supplier who built that thing. I can’t remember who it was anymore. And they dropped it. Not off a table or anything, but the way it was mounted slapped down hard. It didn’t seem to hurt it, so they went on.” Barry said Cortright remains a storied man at NASA for his engineering and human-relations gifts, although he’d left almost 40 years ago. “Cortright had a huge impact,” Barry said. “There were a lot of bright guys who came here. Cortright was in the handful of guys who did not just do great scientific work, but rose up to management, too.” Cortright’s wife died in 2012. He’s survived by a brother, David P. Cortright, along with daughter Susan Weiss and son, David E. Cortright. He had three grandsons, as well as six nieces and nephews. His sister died before him.
included in the survey,” said Dan Capen, president of Stuart Jet Center. “All the credit goes to our team of trained professionals,” he continued, “who really understand the importance of creating an inviting atmosphere where our customers who are residents enjoy consistent superior service — and where visitors leave with a desire to return and experience all the beauty that our community has to offer.” In 1980, Stuart Jet Center opened for business at Witham Field in Stuart. Since then, the family-owned and operated FBO expanded into a wide array of concierge services, including separate lounges for passengers and pilots, courtesy transportation, gourmet catering, aircraft detailing, flight planning and flight trafficking, among others, to accommodate its guests. Stuart Jet Center remains a staple in Martin County, hosting and supporting community events, and organizations such as the Martin Memorial Chrysanthemum Ball, the building of two homes for Habitat for Humanity, Volunteering with

it right.” Murphy said the ACA is a case study revealing the need for more compromise and moderation in Washington, D.C. “Both parties are running to their extremes,” he said. “To their bases.” Murphy added that this lends itself to an absurd political psychology in which parties’ benefits trumps national needs. “How’s this vote going to put the other party in a bad position?” he said about the psychology. “How’s this vote going to win an election?” Murphy said whoever wins the district’s election this year, he hopes the 114th Congress will be marked by mutual compromise. “Hopefully folks will support moderates and more moderates will win,” he said. The youngest member of Congress, 31, is perhaps custom-made for political moderation. Murphy was born in the roaring Reagan years, which he embraced by joining the Republican Party when he registered to vote. Murphy swapped party affiliations weeks before announcing his first congressional run

MURPHY from page A12 in 2012. Fewer than 2,500 votes separated his opponent, Allen West, and him in an election with more than 331,000 voters. Murphy took the oath of office on Jan. 3, 2013. This last year in Congress has been marked by unusually tense relations in a highly-divided government. Those tensions culminated in the 16-day partial federal government blackout, Oct. 1 to 16. Unlike many other representatives who could ensure their re-elections by being dogmatic, Murphy has to embrace moderation. The newly-minted 18th District is tenuous for both major
DOLLARS from page A3 Negron openly questioned whether the levee-failure predictions were based on up-to-date science. “I have zero confidence in the Army Corps of Engineers to do anything but make the problem worse,” Negron said. “They’re completely removed from the gravity of the situation. They don’t live here. I consider them nothing but an obstacle to progress.” Because of that, Negron said he focused on funding state projects that alleviate water levels in the big lake. For example, elevating
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. Murphy said moderation and compromise help ensure the success of small businesses by keeping the country even keeled. “The one thing you need from Washington, D.C., is stability,” he said.
another 2.6 miles of the Tamiami Trail, U.S. Highway 41, to restore more southern flow of water from the lake into the Everglades. That was $90 million. Martin County Commissioner John Haddox, Palm City, said that many people from citizen advocates to elected officials did a good job of publicizing the need to fund projects that help reduce the damage to the Indian River Lagoon. “I am very pleased with how (The Florida Legislature has) funded water projects,” he said. “I think our (legislative) delegation and (Negron) did a remarkable job for our area and the lagoon.”

Practicing and perfecting their pitch, while potentially attracting investors is the strategy for two local entrepreneurs who will present their business plans to the Indian River State College Business Incubation Pitch Panel composed of seven well-known Treasure Coast business leaders. The “Shark Tank” event will be held on Thursday, May 22 at 5:30 p.m. at the IRSC Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, on the 35th Street side of the IRSC Main Campus at 3209 Virginia Avenue in Fort Pierce. Tickets are $10, including dinner, and may be purchased at irscbiz. com under Events Calendar. For more information, contact Tom Kindred at tkindred@irsc.edu or (772) 462-7087. Both business start-ups took advantage of the business ser-
vices provided by the Virtual Incubator at the IRSC Main Campus. Chris Gosse developed the latest in disaster relief housing. Gosse was inspired to create High Impact Temporary Housing after volunteering for disaster relief in South Florida. Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Gosse, of Fort Pierce, made it his mission to put people back into secure housing units as quickly and affordably as possible. Under Gosse’s leadership, High Impact Temporary Housing has created a 10 x 20 unit for shelter and a 10 x 20 unit with many housing amenities. A model of the temporary shelter will be erected in the lobby of the Brown Center for the Shark Tank event.

And, after a long and hard winter in many parts of the country, most of us are ready for sunshine, warmer temperatures and the hopefulness that spring always symbolizes. But as winter gives way to spring, we are also reminded that our lives have “seasons,” too — and it pays to be prepared for all of them.

Jamie Chapogas according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. To meet long-term care costs, you could self-insure, but that might be prohibitively expensive. But failing to do anything about meeting long-term care costs could result in the need for your grown children or other family members to get involved in some fashion — and that is something you no doubt wish to avoid. Fortunately, you can find solutions. To learn about appropriate protection vehicles, consult with your financial advisor. With some thoughtful planning, constant vigilance and timely action, you can meet all these challenges — and enjoy all the seasons of life in which you find yourself.

plan — and when your salary goes up over time, increase your contributions. As for the “plan” part, try to envision the type of lifestyle you want during retirement, and then estimate how much this lifestyle will cost. Once you reach retirement, you will also need to do some planning — specifically, you will need to calculate how much money you can afford to withdraw from your investments each year. Becoming disabled — One-third of all people between the ages of 30 and 64 will become disabled at some point, according to the Health Insurance Association of America. If you became disabled, even temporarily, the loss of income could prove devastating to your financial security, and that of your family’s. To avoid this worrisome scenario, you may want to consider disability insurance. If your employer offers this coverage as an employee benefit, take it — but don’t assume it will be sufficient. Many times, an employer-sponsored disability policy will only cover a short-term disability and may have a long waiting period for benefits to kick in. Consequently you may need to purchase your own disability insurance policy to supplement your employer’s coverage. Requiring long-term care — Unfortunately, many people eventually require some type of longterm care, whether that involves a stay in a nursing home or the assistance of a home health care aid. This type of care is expensive, and Medicare only covers part of it. Just how costly is longterm care? The national average for home health aide services is nearly $45,000 per year, and a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year,

TREASURE COAST — Every time Palm City’s John Goings gets on his bicycle, he knows there’s a risk. “I’ve had my fair share of close calls,” the president of the Treasure Coast Cycling Association said. Close calls, as in motorists passing within inches. And, Goings said, he’s gotten plenty of verbal harassment for bicycling on the road in the first place. On Wednesday, May 21, dozens of area bicycle enthusiasts will gather at 7 p.m. for the second annual Ride of Silence — Treasure Coast. That’ll be at the Stuart City Hall, 121 S.W. Flagler Ave. “This is totally free,” Goings said. “It’s about honoring those who have been killed and raising awareness about the safety of riders.” The Stuart Police Department will escort the 6-mile ride, which will be kept at a slow pace, 12 mph or less. Participants must wear helmets. The first local silence ride was hastily arranged last year and drew about 150. Organizers believe about 200 or more will attend this memorial ride. The local ride is part of an international event started in 2003. Last year, there were 372 events in 27 countries, including the United State. Goings said that some locally renowned bicyclists have met bad fates on the Treasure Coast. “We’ve had our share of accidents in the area,” he said. “One was Donald Roseman, former president of the Treasure Coast Cycling Association.” That was in April 2008. The 52-year-old was hit at about 10 p.m. by Paul Kleinatland of Stuart. Kleinatland reportedly ran a red light on U.S. Highway 1 at Seabranch Boulevard. He attributed the red-light running to distraction — reaching for a water bottle. Roseman, who died from his injuries, was also chairman of the Martin County Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee, which assists the Metropolitan Planning Organization with non-motorist roadway safety. Goings said Roseman’s death sent shockwaves through the cycling community statewide.

MARTIN COUNTY — As summer approaches, the YMCA of the Treasure Coast encourages children and parents to explore the many benefits of swimming, while also keeping safety top of mind. In the Y’s swim programs, participants can enjoy water sports, enhance or learn new techniques, meet new friends and develop confidence, while also learning safety skills that can save lives. As part of National Water Safety Month in May, the YMCA of the Treasure Coast encourages parents to take an active role in their child’s safety. Following are safety tips to practice when in and around the water: • Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone. • Adults should constantly and actively watch their children. • Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. • Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach. • Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities. “Learning to swim is so important, especially on the Treasure Coast,” said Megan Voeller, Aquatics Director, YMCA of the
Treasure Coast. “At the YMCA of the Treasure Coast, we are committed to increasing water safety through our swim lessons, CPR/ AED/First Aid certification courses, and Ellis lifeguard training programs.” The YMCA of the Treasure Coast will also be acting as a host location for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson on Friday, June 20. This global event aims to raise awareness of the importance of teaching children to swim at an early age. At 11 a.m. on June 20, participants at pools, waterparks, and other aquatic facilities around the world will simultaneously engage in swimming lessons in hopes of breaking the Guinness World Record. Spaces are limited for this free swim lesson, so anyone interested in participating is urged to register early. In addition to learning lifesaving water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Swimming also motivates children to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation, and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. It also teaches life lessons of sport and sportsmanship, so that children can learn how to work well with teammates and coaches and how to deal with

Palm City company producing new kind of vacuum cleaner FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
PALM CITY — After two intense years of development, the unbreakable VacPort™ built in dust pan with LED illumination is now in production for central vacuum systems. Known for its innovative designs and outstanding engineering, InterVac Design has revealed the first ever sweep inlet valve that doesn’t require a spring to operate the mechanism. “It’s unbreakably simple and so easy to open and close you can use your bare toe to operate it,” said Peter Schlapkohl, the inventor of the new VacPort™. “This is a product everyone has been asking for and waiting for us to develop. Today, we are excited to say VacPort is here!” Schlapkohl added. The innovative VacPort features include: · Two LED lights to illuminate the path of the dirt’s’ entry into the central vacuum system · Available with LED (model A900) or without LED lights (model A910) · Easy to operate · Does not require heavy pressure to open and close or an instruction manual to explain the mechanism
· Lower lip for dirt entry is straight and rigid so dirt cannot collect underneath the lip · Made of high-tech polycarbonate · Horizontal hose or pipe connection · No springs! Just two small magnets hold the entry door in the open position · Elegant, high end design · No screw heads or open slot is visible · The wide door lever makes the VacPort™ easy for the customer to locate under the toe-kick in kitchen cabinets · Power requirements: 24 volt AC directly from the central vacuum to the VacPort™ · Made in USA! “This truly is an amazing product that makes cleaning with a vacuum even easier and more convenient. It’s a product that customers worldwide had requested we design to make it unbreakable and produce it with LED illumination. It took two years to perfect it but customers will soon find out it was well worth the wait for the debut of VacPort!” Schlapkohl concluded. For information about becoming a distributor or dealer VacPort™ contact interVac today at (888) 499-1925.

RIDE from page A21 Another local bicycle death that drew many cyclists’ attention was Gary Zimmer, 67, who visited the area from Connecticut. Loretta Lee Love, Jensen Beach, struck him as he rode in the bicycle lane on the Jensen Beach Causeway in February 2011. She hit him about 10 a.m. In February, two bicyclists were killed in St. Lucie County within the same week. Jensen Beach resident Nelson Reeves, 64, was killed while riding in the bicycle lane on State Road A1A about a mile north of the St. Lucie-Martin County line around 7:30 a.m. Three days later, Clifford Schwartz, 55, was killed in Fort Pierce. William Snyder, Martin County Sheriff, said bicycles have as much right to the roads as cars, and motorists must recognize that fact. He said many, if not most, bicyclist deaths can be directly attributed to driver apathy and distraction. “Don’t text and drive,” he said. “It’s that’s momentary veering you do that’s the most dangerous to the bicyclist on the side of the road.” Snyder said that Florida law requires a minimum of 3-feet clearance when passing a bicycle. However, he said when it’s possible to give more space, drivers should. “Give that bicyclist as much space as possible,” Martin’s top cop said. “Your car — it weighs how many pounds? That bicyclist doesn’t have that kind of protection. That bicyclist’s life is in your hands.” Gary Wilson, chief deputy of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, said he’s seeing an increase in bicycles on roadways in recent years, and thinks that’s likely to continue. “There’re an awful lot of people riding bicycles for fitness, enjoyment and transportation,” he said. “It’s imperative for those drivers using the same roadways

“The majority of the respondents who believe that cyclists should remain on the sidewalks came from the South Florida region, highlighting a lack of education about cyclists and their rights on the road,” the study from the Bill Bone law firm reads. to pay special attention to the cyclists, to give them the room they need to operate the bicycles.” Every year about 700 bicyclists are killed in traffic accidents nationwide. Florida accounts for almost 100 of those annual deaths, making the Sunshine State the bicyclist death capital. Tim Bustos, executive director of the Florida Bicycle Association, said in a 2013 interview there are a number of reasons for that. One is simply that Florida’s temperate climate allows for 12 months of riding, giving cars and bikes more chances to fatally interact. But there’re other reasons, Bustos said. A lack of, or resistance to, driver education is a big one. Last year, the Bill Bone law firm released a study it commissioned examining driver knowledge about and attitudes toward bicycle road rules. About 16 percent of respondents said that bicycles simply don’t belong on roads. “The majority of the respondents who believe that cyclists should remain on the sidewalks came from the South Florida region, highlighting a lack of education about cyclists and their rights on the road,” the study reads. Sidewalks are no place for bicycles, Wilson said. “The cyclists shouldn’t be riding on the sidewalk,” he said. “They should be in the roadway and following all the requirements. They should stop at lights and stop signs and signal turns.” May is League of American Bicyclists’ National Bike Month. To find out more about the ride, visit the local bicycling association’s Facebook page, or www.rideofsilence.org. Goings’ email is jfgoings1@bellsouth.net.

Harbour Ridge OPEN HOUSE resident bikes to California FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club resident Lynn Avery sets the bar high for future cyclists. Avery recently completed her cross country bicycle adventure from the west coast of California to the East coast of Florida, spanning March 5 to May 1. She commemorated the beginning of her journey by dipping her bike’s rear wheel into the Pacific Ocean and celebrated the completion by dipping the front wheel in the Atlantic Ocean.

Unlikely couple finds friendship through dance Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — Lily Harrison is 72, the widow of a Southern Baptist minister. Michael Minetti is a middle-aged gay man who danced in the chorus on Broadway. The lonely Lily hires Michael to give her private dance lessons in her St. Petersburg, Fla., condo. How the relationship changes both of them is the subject of Richard Alfieri’s comedy-drama, “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks.” It will be performed at the Barn Theatre May 30-June 15. Francine Beckstead is directing the two-person cast of Rob Lastovica and Betty Dallas. She spoke recently about a play that will resonate with many in the audience as it deals with ageism and intolerance. “It’s a story about an unlikely friendship between Michael and Lily,” she said. “Lily is lonely and aging. Michael is middle-aged, gay and angst-ridden. It’s a love story, of sorts. She’s the widow of a Southern Baptist minister

DANCE from page B1 who was married for 50 years and he is a middle-aged ex-Broadway-chorus boy. He is very Italian, acerbic, swears and has lots of issues. Her personality is repressed from being married to a minister for so long. “She’s lonely and she hires Michael through a dance studio to give her weekly lessons in her home. She clearly doesn’t need them, because she’s an excellent dancer. She finds out that he’s acerbic, dramatic and swears a blue streak, but she’s up to the challenge and it’s all very funny. It’s quick dialogue.” Travis Scott, a professional dancer with the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Stuart, is choreographing the dances which end each scene. The dances include swing, tango waltz, chacha and a contemporary dance. Beckstead said her cast is up to the challenge. “Rob has done a lot of work at the Barn and Pineapple,” she said. He’s been taking dance lessons and he’s pretty good. Betty was in (the Barn production of ‘Ballroom.’ She also does a lot of tech work, like lighting and sound.” Beckstead said that both began reading the play independently about a year ago.

they’d compare notes. “They have so much fun with each other,” she said. “You can see the chemistry between them. It’s really great.” The director said the beauty of the show is in the way their relationship evolves. “Mutual antagonism gives way to profound compatibility,” she said. “They share closely-guarded secrets and become soul mates. They give loyalty and compassion and enrich each other’s lives.” Beckstead said the play takes aim at both ageism and intolerance “Lily often feels that when she goes out alone, no one sees her. She’s become invisible as she’s gotten older. Michael came from New York to Florida to take care of his mother. He’s been trying to keep the fact that he’s gay under the radar.” For each, acceptance comes from the most unlikely of sources. The Barn Theatre, 2400 E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart, presents “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” May 30-June 15. Performances are Wednesday-Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20.

as “Ice Castles” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” The concert will end with a tribute to our nation’s veterans with a rendition of the “1812 Overture” by Peter Tchaikovsky. All are invited to attend. The Community Music School is an “all string school” teaching violin, viola, cello and string bass in beginning, intermediate, advanced and artist orchestras. The String School opened January 2013 and is growing rapidly to become a “String Educational Center of Excellence” on the Treasure Coast. Players come from Palm Beach, Martin,
Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Indian River counties to join together in the art of string performance on Saturday mornings at the Port St. Lucie community Center. Diane Hope Float is the founding director, having moved back to this area after founding the Lincoln Park Academy Orchestra Program 1986-2001; Alpena Orchestra Academy and Alpena Symphony Orchestra, Alpena, Mich. 2002-2006; principal of Shepherd Institute of Music, West Palm Beach, 20062011 and orchestra director Palm Beach County School System 2008-2012. Assisting director Diane Float in the building and teaching of the String School is Michelle Float Nelson, daughter, and former Lincoln Park Academy Orchestra students of
Float’s through the years who were trained under her teaching methods. The String School is meeting the need of string instruction in the area. Former string players are returning to perform in an orchestra group as well as home school students and public and private students are learning to play. The school follows the public school calendar and new students are taken into the music school only at the beginning of the school year in September. Rehearsals and instruction continue from September-May for a full year’s course of study. For further information on enrolling in the Community Music School, please call Diane Float at (772) 345-2933.

MARTIN COUNTY — It feels like summer, and the summer season in Florida means lighter entertainment fare. If your taste is for the comical, with an action flick thrown in, B Merry Gastro Pub in downtown Stuart has several film favorites scheduled for Tuesday nights during “Drinking Game Movie Night.” While the movie series has already begun, there are still several films on tap. May 20 brings “Die Hard,” May 27 features “Zoolander,” June 3 has “Happy Gilmore” and June 10, just in the middle of wedding season, brings “The Wedding Crashers.” The event is set to continue into August, but the movies and date dates are not set yet. Each movie game night will start with cocktails at 6 p.m. and each will have a unique set of rules and menus tailored to the movie. Liz Falco, owner of B Merry, said that the goal of the evening is fun. “This time of year, there tend to be less entertainment options. We hope this adds a little pick-me-up to everyone’s week.” Jake Sanders, the man behind Cur-

PALM CITY — A Palm City woman has partnered with an internet radio station to produce an informative talk show heard ‘round the world right from her home office. Gwen Carden, an award-winning national journalist, is producer and host of “Break the Chains,” a weekly show on TalkZone.com designed to help people with drug and alcohol addiction problems become educated about the disease, learn about recovery options and hear inspiring stories. “This is a dream come true,” said Carden, who has more than 3,000 published articles to her credit in local, national and international markets. Several years ago I co-hosted a radio show on WSTU, and I caught the broadcasting bug,” she added. “I had been looking for the right opportunity to do it again, utilizing the power and reach of the internet, and ‘Break
the Chains’ turned out to be the perfect one.” Carden explained that she only wanted to do a show if it would have the same quality of production as one would get from a terrestrial radio station. “Do-it-yourself podcasts are wonderful, but TalkZone partners with you to produce a very high-level show with professional intros, music, commercials and my own engineer to take care of the background work. I conduct the interviews over Skype, and the sound quality is so good it sounds like I’m in a real studio. “It’s also fun to be able to do the show right from my home office, and that’s why I named where I do it ‘Fuzzy Slippers Studio.’ I can be in my pajamas and nobody has to know.” Carden confessed that while her interviewing skills were wellhoned, it’s intimidating to be broadcasting live and know there aren’t any do-overs.

Bikes for boys and girls
CARDEN from page B7
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Gene Zweben of Palm City presented five students from the East Stuart Boys & Girls club with new bicycles and helmets to commemorate National Bike Month Friday, May 9. The students, Catherine Velasquez, Daleah Clark-Baker, Lewis Harris, Jaden Sullivan and Jeremiah Denaud were selected for the recognition based on academic performance. The donation is an effort to give back to the community while raising awareness of the benefits of cycling and the importance of bike safety.
“I love pushing my comfort zone, and live radio can sure do that,” she commented, “and especially this one, because my listeners can be tuning in — and even calling in — from anywhere in the world.” Carden noted that she is uniquely qualified to host a show on addiction since she currently works as a therapist at New Life Addiction Treatment Center in Port St. Lucie, which is one of the show’s sponsors. “Ten years ago, I earned a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University simply because during the course of my journalism career I had become so fascinated with the field of psychology. When the opportunity arose last year to use it, I jumped at the chance,” Carden said. “The radio show is a perfect melding of my journalism experience and my passion for counseling.” Past show topics have included: the opiate epidemic, halfway houses, myths about addiction, and interventions. Upcoming shows will examine topics such as women and addiction and making amends.

SafeSpace receives a $35,000 grant from the John’s Island Foundation SafeSpace with capital funding for more than a decade. Our Foundation recognizes that donations for capital, equipment and technology needs are often costs that are difficult for non-profits to secure. That’s where our Foundation is able to fill in the gap in funding,” said John’s Island Foundation President, Mark Earle. “Women and children show up at the shelter in the middle of the night, sometimes with nothing more than the clothing they are wearing and are welcomed by caring individuals who keep them safe and out of harm’s way and are literally helping to save their lives,” SafeSpace operates programs in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties where families are provided with a safe environment through emergency shelter and outreach services, as well as a new supportive living program, which provides longer-term housing for survivors of domestic violence with no dependent children. The organization offers victims of domestic violence safety, support, counseling, and education and provides the assistance necessary
to empower them to establish a positive direction and gain control over their own lives. For more information about SafeSpace, visit www.safespacefl.org or call (772) 223-2399. SafeSpace is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates programs in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties where families can escape to a safe environment. SafeSpace offers victims of domestic violence safety, support and education, empowering them to create an independent life free from violence. Emergency shelter, supportive living, and outreach programs and services are available for victims throughout the Treasure Coast. SafeSpace offers services to all victims of domestic violence and their dependents regardless of race, gender, age, religion, political belief, national origin, immigration status, physical or mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation or language spoken. For more information, please visit www.safespacefl.org, call (772) 223-2399.

TREASURE COAST — Being the recipient of a charitable donation can help a not-for-profit organization achieve their goals —and sometimes that means lives are saved in the process. SafeSpace, the only certified domestic violence center on the Treasure Coast, was honored to be the recent recipient of a $35,640 grant from the John’s Island Foundation. The John’s Island Foundation, which raises funds from residents of the John’s Island Community in Vero Beach, provides grant funding to nonprofit organizations serving the economically disadvantaged in Indian River County. Since their launch in 1999, the Foundation has contributed more than $7.3 million to nonprofit agencies whose programs are targeted towards basic needs such as food, shelter, assistance with disabilities and health issues, safety from abuse, and children’s education. Over the past several years, the John’s Island Foundation has
presented grant awards to SafeSpace to fund a new generator, security gate, SafeSpace’s original computer system, and the SafeSpace van. The funds received this year will be allocated towards a much needed computer system upgrade. “We are so fortunate to have community partners who believe so passionately in the mission of SafeSpace and, through their generosity, are able to financially support our programs so we can continue to save and change lives on the Treasure Coast,” said SafeSpace CEO Jill Borowicz. The John’s Island Foundation has a structured process for allocating grants to ensure the funds are making a positive impact on the community. After each organization applies for a grant, the Foundation reviews its organizational structure, finances and board effectiveness and ensures the organization is true to their mission. After the funds are dispersed, the John’s Island Foundation guarantees that they are allocated as intended. “The John’s Island Foundation has been happy to support
