Citrus Hall of Fame Staff Reports
INFO@YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM
PALM CITY — Before Palm City resident Jack Norris was inducted into the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame in March, he wondered what he had done during his 44-year career in the industry to earn the distinction. Looking over the crowd of 250 during the 54th Citrus Celebration Luncheon on March 11 at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, the 81-year-old Norris remembered why as he spotted at least a dozen of the many citrus industry executives he mentored. “Seeing so many people I’ve known and worked with in the
past, I saw about 15 that had worked with me, and so many others in the industry that had moved up the ladder to leadership positions with growers and corporations,” Norris said. “I’m proud to have been a part of the citrus industry,” said Norris, who was preceded in the Citrus Hall of Fame by his uncle, Robert E. Norris, who was inducted in 1973. “I was very fortunate to have worked with outstanding people,” he said. “It gave me a wonderful feeling to see this (hall of fame induction) happen.” From the comments submitted with his nomination for the

MARTIN COUNTY — The county is competing to find and keep good help. Paying a bit more to more than 600 workers would help a lot, according to a 14-month study by Evergreen Solutions. The county commission considered the draft report of the study at its May 31 meeting. “Folks need to have raises,” Commissioner Ed Fielding said at the meeting. Wages for most of the county’s about 860 employees have been largely stagnate since 2009, according to the report, and attribution has been increasing in recent years. The report rec-
ommended about $1.2 million in raises for about 650 county employees to help combat the attrition. “I’m very skeptical about this,” Commissioner Sarah Heard said at the meeting. “We need a fix and this is not it.” In an interview after the meeting, Commissioner John Haddox — who was a county employee until 2012 — said stagnate wages, inflation, and adjustments to employee benefits are reducing county employees’ real incomes fast. “We obviously have problems,” he said. “I’ve brought this up many times over the past year — probably in 10 years we’ve had only one pay raise. We’ve also

How do you face cancer? File photo The Martin County Commission is riding the ups and downs of disagreement over the Martin County Fairgrounds. Some want to move it to a site in Indiantown; others are wondering if the county should be giving the Martin County Fair Association a sweetheart lease at all.
Where oh where shall go the fair? STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — After studying and talking about relocating the Martin County Fairgrounds for several months the county commission voted to create a task force to study and talk about relocating it. That was at the commission’s May 24 regular meeting. “There have been multiple studies; there have been multiple discussions,” Commissioner Doug Smith said. He later added, “I think it’s a way to kick the can down the road.” Commissioner Sarah Heard and he joined in dissenting against the creation of the task force in a 3-2 vote. The commission vote didn’t spell out who’d be on the task force or when it would be created. Although John Haddox, too, thought the task force proposed by Commissioner Anne Scott was the commission stalling, he voted for it. Haddox said he’ll hound about creating the task force if it doesn’t happen soon. “If I don’t see movement on that, I’ll bring it up at every meeting during (commissioner) comments,” he said. Heard voted against creating the task force for different reasons than Smith. She said there have been a lot of discussion about moving the fair, but she’s not heard any compelling reasons to do that. “We need to ask what problem we’re trying to solve here,” Heard said at the meeting. She added, “I’m not convinced there is a problem.”
The Martin County Fair Association is now on about 12 acres on South Dixie Highway in Stuart. The nine-day annual fair attracts about 70,000 to 75,000 visitors a year. Additionally, the fairgrounds are used for numerous other events throughout the year from business expos to charitable organizations staging mass food and toy giveaways. The fair association has wanted to move for decades. Put simply, 12 acres makes it one of the tiniest fairs in the state, if not nation. Some commissioners would like to move the fairgrounds because it’s taking up valuable county-owned real estate that could easily fetch more than $1 million and put those acres on the tax rolls as industrial or commercial. In other words, there’s big property taxes in that dirt. But, that dirt is in the county’s urban services boundary. That service boundary is more than a line in the sand to many Martin County politicos. It’s a concrete wall against sprawling development they’re loath to give any exceptions to. Harold Markey, the County’s general services director, told the commission that staff found only a handful of properties — 16 — in the urban service boundary that meet criteria to become fairgrounds. Those are all either taken up, or aren’t accessible. “We have very few places to move the fairgrounds,” Markey said. That’s leaving as the only viable candidate about 107 acres on

Top GAL helps abused and neglected children Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — Carol Boser of Palm City is enjoying retirement. She worked for Lockheed Martin for many years, starting in engineering and then moving into executive management. She often spent 40 weeks a year away from home. Retirement a year ago was a welcome change. She didn’t stay inactive for long. The Florida native, who had been living in California, contacted Martin County before she and husband George moved to Palm City last year. She had been involved some 15 years ago with the Guardian ad Litem program when they lived in Orlando and she wanted to start again to help abused and neglected children. The Guardian ad Litem program for the 19th Judicial Circuit covers approximately 1,300 chil-
dren in Martin, St Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. A Guardian ad Litem, or GAL, is appointed by the court to advocate for the best interests of a child in the dependency system. The majority of them have been removed from their homes because of alleged abuse, abandonment or neglect. GALs receive 30 hours of training, and while Boser had taken it years ago, she elected to take the training again because it had been so long since she’d been a volunteer. She wanted to refresh her knowledge of the process that takes place when a child is in a bad situation and action is necessary. Boser has been very impressed with the people she’s worked with in Martin County. “I have an ally I depend on in the office, my manager Laurie Saber,” she said. “She keeps me organized as to when court

United Way CEO retires after 17 years Nancy McCarthy
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
MARTIN COUNTY — After 17 years of serving the families and individuals in Martin County and more than 30 years of service to United Way, Palm City resident Jim Vojcsik will retire as president/CEO of United Way of Martin County on June 30. The organization has been planning for the leadership transition since Vojcsik announced his intention to retire last year. Vojcsik’s career with United Way spans 34 years at four United Ways across the nation, including Orange County, California; Chester, Pa.; and Salisbury, Md., before settling in Martin County. “It is a bittersweet moment for me as I plan for the next stage in my life after having worked alongside some of the most committed staff, non-profit and civic leaders, volunteers, and board members in our community,” reflected Vojcsik. During his tenure, Vojcsik led
the evolution of United Way to embrace the community impact model. This model enables United Way to better define, understand and respond to the most critical issues in Martin County. From a series of community conversations, United Way set strategic priorities and targeted goals focused on measuring and creating significant impact in the areas of Education, Financial Stability and Health. Vojcsik also cites the growth of the United Way Foundation among his most significant achievements. Created in 2005 as an independent public charity, the Foundation is uniquely positioned to accept legacy gifts and build an endowment fund to meet the current and future unmet needs of Martin County. By investing in the Foundation, donors help tackle the root causes of problems in perpetuity. The principal of donor’s gifts are maintained while the income is used to create real results, today and tomorrow. Under his lead-
ership, the endowment fund has grown from $86,000 to more than $5 million. “The endowment fund is a legacy that will last for a lifetime, and will benefit present and future generations. I’m proud to have played a role in its success,” Vojcsik said. Vojcsik is leaving on a high note as the organization recently announced that it is on track to exceed its $2.7 million campaign goal, making it the most successful fundraising campaign in its 44-year history. These funds will be put to work in the community to keep students on track to graduation, help families achieve financial stability and provide people the tools to lead healthy lives. “I leave the organization with a feeling of accomplishment in the way our United Way has evolved over time to meet the changing needs of our community and our donors. I am proud that we put a stake in the ground around children’s success in school and fam-
ily financial stability and health while continuing to maintain a safety net of services. I am proud of the collaborative partnerships we have forged to tackle the shared goals for our community,” Vojcsik said. Another accomplished leader with extensive United Way experience will take the helm at United Way of Martin County. Carol Houwaart-Diez will replace Vojcsik as the new CEO and leader of United Way, effective July 18. Houwaart-Diez has 29 years of experience with United Way of Greater Niagara, N.Y., the last 12 as CEO. She will continue a legacy begun by Vojcsik. “Jim has been an exceptional leader in our community as well as in the United Way system,” United Way Board Chair Amy Albury said. “We’re proud of what the organization has accomplished during his tenure, and we are pleased to have found an outstanding individual to lead our United Way into the future to build upon his legacy.”

Port St. Lucie Mayor Greg Oravec As you may know, Costco has been struggling to win approval from Martin County on the Palm City site. It has been chronicled in the local newspapers, most recently in a fun piece by Anthony Westbury. As alluded to in Anthony’s article, many citizens have contacted the City over the past several months and even years, asking why we aren’t pursuing Costco. Please know that we have been all along. In fact, our staff has contacted Costco reps so many times that they have essentially said, “Don’t call us. We’ll call you.” However, in light of their continuing trials and Anthony’s article, I thought we should look past these prior

instances of unrequited love and up our game. Accordingly, I sent out a packet last week; and now, after talking to one of the leaders of the Palm City Resistance (Code Name Samantha), I am calling on you and all citizens wanting a Costco in PSL to let Costco know how you feel. This is your opportunity to take action and, hopefully, to make a difference. If we don’t send 1,000 e-mails, PSL, how serious are we? By the way, if you get your geek on and check out the market analyses embedded in my Facebook post, you will see that once we compare market areas on a 10 minute drive time and beyond, the sites are very comparable. From what I can see, there is only one glaring difference, PSL has several sites where Costco would be welcomed to the community with open arms… Mayor Greg Oravec Editor’s note: Mayor Oravec shared this letter with Your Voice News & Views and on his Facebook page.

honor, it is apparent the feeling was mutual. Born in Tampa, Norris’s family moved to Lake Jem in central Florida after his father, John, returned from service during World War II as a Marine at Okinawa. While Norris was attending Mount Dora High School, his uncle helped him get a job in a citrus grove he managed. He spent his “weekends, holidays and summers” first in the grove, and later with a cattle operation his employer acquired. “In those days, working out in the hot sun hoeing an orange tree wasn’t a lot of fun,” Norris said. “Looking back, it was a good experience.” Norris said he first wanted to go into veterinary medicine, but eventually earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science with a minor in citrus at the University of Florida. Afterward, he served a brief active-duty stint in the U.S. Army ROTC followed by seven years of active reserve. He launched his full-time career in citrus when he joined Heller Bros. Packing in 1957, then moving two years later to the Minute Maid Co., shortly before it was acquired by Coca-Cola Foods. In 1961, Norris moved to Indiantown, and married his wife, Kay, while living there. They moved to Stuart in 1967, but he was transferred to Auburndale in 1972. From managing Minute Maid’s nursery operations in Hardee and Highlands counties, he quickly rose through the ranks to director of grove operations, a position he held for 13 years. With Coca-Cola Foods, Norris and his team worked closely with researchers to pursue innovative solutions to many citrus production challenges Florida growers faced. In 1986, Norris was hired as vice president of agriculture for Alandco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida Power & Light that evolved into Turner Foods Corp., and he moved his family back to Stuart. Two years later, Norris was named president and CEO of FP&L’s Turner Foods Corp. and successfully led the operation until his retirement in 2000, when they settled in their current home in Lighthouse Point. “The best thing to ever happen to me was coming to Martin County,” Norris said. “That’s where I met my wife, all my children were born here. “It’s a wonderful place to raise a family and the reason we came back here in 1986 to stay.” Under his leadership, Turner Foods grew into one of the largest citrus growers in the United States with approximately 20,000 acres of citrus properties in Flor-
Jack Norris ida. “Both Coca-Cola and FPL were really good companies to work for,” Norris said. At Turner Foods, Norris not only continued to seek improvements in grove operations as he did with Coca-Cola Foods, he also recruited some of the finest talent in the industry to his management team and provided them with the knowledge, tools and empowerment to do their jobs effectively. “I enjoyed working with people,” he said. “I learned early in my career I wanted people I hired to be a lot smarter than me.” Norris also was heavily involved in industry and civic organizations. “FPL gave you free rein to participate in the industry organizations and assume positions of leadership,” he said. So Norris was on the boards of Florida Citrus Mutual, Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, Martin County Farm Bureau, Florida Citrus Research Foundation and other industry groups. Improving the image of agriculture and the citrus industry was a constant theme for Norris with industry organizations. “I knew what the industry needed and was able to work with people who could help move it in that direction,” he said. Norris also served on the boards of Martin Memorial and the Redlands Christian Migrant Association, which provides day care and early childhood education to the children of migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. Though Norris said he is “very concerned” about the predicament the citrus industry is in not only in Florida but worldwide with the greening disease killing trees and reducing harvests, he said he has kept up on the progress of researchers trying to solve the problem and remains optimistic. “A lot of smaller growers will have a harder time to be able to stay around,” he said. “Larger growers with capital will be more likely to survive.”

FAIR from page 3 Citrus Boulevard in Indiantown that are less than a half mile from the urban service boundary. But, that’s been a sticking point. That property is still outside the urban service boundary. Smith said at the meeting that the fair is a unique entity and giving it a pass to go outside the boundary won’t open any floodgates to development. “We have property, Martin County does, and we can certainly make a policy decision to give that to the fair,” Smith said. He added, “The fair is the fair. The fair is not a residential development. The fair is not an industrial development.” Haddox hosted two large meetings that put the Indiantown property into play. “We’re sitting on two pieces of property,” he said at the recent commission meeting. “One, 15 acres that’s generating no revenue and off the tax roll. We have a 100 acres that’s generating no revenue and off the tax rolls. This is the ideal situation which is win win for everybody in the community. To stop this moving forward is fiscally irresponsible.” The fair association has a lease on the Stuart property until 2026. Jay Spicer, fair manager, said that doesn’t give the association as much time to find new

He said that the association needs the county commission to make up its mind whether the fair can relocate to its land in Indiantown. Any move is going to take a massive capital campaign, he said. “I think (commissioners) think that moving the fair is going to cost a lot of money they don’t have,” he said. “We agree — they don’t have the money. We’re just looking for land. We’re not coming in with our hands out. We’re just trying to change the dirt we’re on. The dirt we’re on is valuable to the county.”

Costco sticking to Palm City bid Adam Laten Willson
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
PALM CITY — Costco Treasure Coast is back at the roundtable. In April, the company resubmitted its application to build a 152,661-square-foot store and 16-pump gas station in Palm City. Martin County Growth Management is expected to respond with a staff report this week, and a joint staff workshop with Costco, open to the public, will be scheduled sometime this month. Though Costco’s proposed location has fomented community resistance in Palm City and has raised traffic, stormwater management and other concerns for the county, Costco has stuck to the spot like glue, despite being offered many alternatives. For some, including Port St. Lucie Mayor Gregory Oravec, the deal is not yet done, however. June 1, Oravec broadcasted an open call to Port St. Lucie residents on his Facebook page, urging them to send emails of interest to Costco executives. Already more than 12,400 Facebook members have seen the post, and 108 emails have been sent. “Where Costco is proposing to
locate in Palm City will pull from Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County,” says Oravec. “Why not have that site in Port St. Lucie, where Costco would probably have a better permitting experience, and then be able to pull from the Palm City market? Once you look at a 10-minute drive time, the sites are very comparable to each other.” Since spring of last year, PSL’s City Manager’s office had been courting Costco, providing information on zoning, maps, and trip times, even touring them to possible sites. In the fall of last year, when Costco made the official push for Palm City, they told PSL in no uncertain terms: “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.” PSL’s idea was that copious amounts of land and entitlements in the Southern Grove and Tradition areas, in addition to a surging demand, would serve the big-box giant well. Already in that neighborhood, a new Keiser University is on the horizon, as well as a new Wawa, Panera Bread, and a sports themed sit-down restaurant, Recovery Sports Grill, developed by the same developers as Homewood Suites. Recently, Optimal Outcomes, which owns the Mann Research

Center, signed a construction contract for a second medical office building to be completed early next year. “In the last several months, there has been a lot of activity around that particular node,” said Daniel Holbrook, assistant city manager, earlier this year.

increased the employees’ portion of our cost of healthcare.” He added, “My best guess is our employees are probably 10 percent down from where they were (in 2009).” Haddox was a veterans service officer. All Florida counties have veteran services, a department that helps veterans file for federal benefits. A few contract with outside organizations — such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars — to handle them, but most have county-employed veteran service officers. Haddox started with the county in 1999. He said that for that job, Martin was a middling county on pay. “I knew where the highest-paying counties were for veteran service officers,” he said. “Some were significantly higher, $70,000.” St. Lucie County had one of the highest-paid veteran service officers in the state at one time, Haddox said. However, he wasn’t tempted to go elsewhere for higher pay. “I would have never left Martin County for $20,000, $30,000 more,” Haddox said. While the county is losing employees, the study found that there’s a large number who share Haddox’s sentiment. According to Evergreen the average tenure of a Martin County worker is almost 12 years, compared to a little less than eight among those working for local governments. Haddox said that loyalty should be rewarded, not punished. One reason for attrition, noted in the study, is that when workers have stagnate wages they see new employees making almost as much as they do. That’s called “wage compression.” That’s a complexity when creating new wage scales. “Our minimums are low for a lot of our employees, our starting salaries,” Haddox said. “To correct the minimum, you have to correct the entire range.” Which is why the price tag for adjusting wages is estimated to top $1 million. But to pay for any upward adjustment, the county has to have

John Haddox it. While it’s looking at comparatively low wages among competing employers, it’s also looking at issues such as an infrastructure maintenance backlog county staff puts at more than $260 million. Last November the commission entered into a 30-year franchise agreement with Florida Power & Light promising to raise about $9 million a year to put toward the backlog. Heard voted against the franchise fee. At the recent meeting, Heard said she appreciated county employees’ hard work, but now is not the time to consider giving a large number of them pay increases. She said it’s likely the commission will have to increase property taxes later this year. “We’re looking at a tax increase this year of up to $10 million,” she said. “We can’t afford that tax increase this year. We need to get our fiscal house in order.” The commission, by consensus, asked the county administrator, Taryn Kryzda, to turn the report into recommendations during budget hearings this summer. “With (commissioners’) comments and advice, we’ve sort of given her some direction,” Haddox said. “There’s a separation where we all stand. She knows what most of us are looking for.”

PALM CITY — Twenty-four students have been recognized for their love of reading by The Library Foundation of Martin County, Inc. The students are the recipients of the first Young Literary Leaders Award given to fifth grade boys and girls in twelve elementary schools in Martin County. Each award winner received a certificate and a gift card for Barnes and Noble. Noreen Fisher, President of The Library Foundation of Martin County, Inc., noted that part of the Foundation’s mission is to promote a love of reading among residents of all ages. “We are especially pleased to recognize our elementary school’s most dedicated readers. There is nothing more heartwarming than watching children become enthralled with stories and more confident of their reading skills.” When presenting the awards to Lawrence Tatum and Alyssa Busch at Citrus Grove Elementary School on May 26, Noreen also encouraged the student body and their families to take advantage of the Library’s Summer Reading Program, sponsored by the Foundation, which will combine reading and fun for children of all ages.

COSTCO from page 12 there’s a concerted group of citizens in Palm City actively opposing the project, and there is a group of citizens in Port St. Lucie actively recruiting the project,” he said. Costco’s first application, officially filed in October of last year, was sent back with numerous non-compliances. The buildings were too tall, water management was potentially problematic for wetlands, and certain elements needed to be looked at to bring the proposal in line with Martin County’s urban design. As of press time, according to an online permitting database, the second application has already incurred non-compliances in water and wastewater, real property, and commercial design. The crucial issues that have yet to be looked at are environmental, engineering, and to a lesser degree landscape. It is likely they will have to submit a third time, says Nikki Van Vonno, Martin County Growth Management director. It is actually quite common for projects on this scale to entail three submittals, she says. After that, however, Costco will need to begin paying a fee. The big-box chain could be poising themselves for a new future along Martin Highway. Since January, four future land use (FLU) amendments have been proposed in Palm City, three of them hoping to convert the existing FLU of their properties from rural density to commercial general, and one of them represented by the same law firm representing Costco, Gunster Law in Palm City. Costco’s coveted property has been zoned for Light Industrial since 2005. With Martin Highway’s widening and resurfacing having been completed early last month, what was formerly a sleepy bedroom community for Stuart is headed toward a new destiny, one that was heralded in the 1980s by the advent of Martin Downs and a steady increase of commercialization since then. Whether Costco will commission a new traffic
“When I moved to Palm City, 22 years ago, it was a very small family community, where everyone knew your name. Now, we’re probably going to be having 8 to 10 thousands of strangers here a day.” Kelly Middleton, Bessy Creek Elementary study to reflect Martin Highway’s recent 4-lane makeover — a move that opponents say would be necessary to accurately depict level of service impact — is yet to be known. “When I moved to Palm City, 22 years ago, it was a very small family community, where everyone knew your name,” says Kelly Middleton, a teacher at Bessy Creek Elementary. “Now, we’re probably going to be having 8 to 10 thousand strangers here a day.” Middleton has been integrally involved with a campaign to oppose Costco’s proposed location in Palm City, and has been recruiting signatories for a petition to take to the Local Planning Agency (LPA) and Board of Commissioners, who would need to judge the case once it’s passed staff review. Stop Costco at 714 and High Meadow has been going strong since September of last year, showing up to regular County Commission and LPA meetings, sending letters to elected officials and Costco representatives, and rallying on the street corner of the proposed site. It’s possible that with PSL’s voice thrown in the ring, a synergy of interest might catch Costco’s hitherto impervious attention. If Costco is sent back to the drawing board they will have three months to resubmit, and a lot can happen in that time. If you think the next Costco in South Florida should be in Port St. Lucie instead of Palm City, Oravec encourages you to send a letter to Heidi Macomber, director of development for Costco, at hmacomb@costco.com.

MR. GUNS from page 18 al years ago, says that female weapons carriers are a big part of her business and a fast growing market. She saw that need and worked with Rick to fill it. “Females carrying weapons has been a huge component of the market. I’m also in Real Estate and that industry is changing so carrying for protection has become more of a concern,” she said. But don’t expect to come to Mr. Guns and be treated like a girl. Crovato says their major focus is to be a family oriented business that leaves intimidation and high-pressure sales tactics for the other places. “We are a mom-and-pop shop. Our lifeline is customer service. For goodness sakes, we have chandeliers!” Since the staff isn’t paid on commission, they’re not out to double down on sales. Instead, what Crovato and Cooper have designed is a place where customers can browse inventory, learn about the product and make the choice that best fits them. “The best thing about Mr. Guns,” Crovato said, “are the gentlemen that work there. They truly enjoy what they do and will listen to you, the buyer.” That speaks volumes for an in-
dustry where outsiders may feel intimidated and rules and regulations can be overwhelming. “The guy who comes in with questions, that’s the best customer in the world,” Cooper explains. Previously named St. Lucie Shooters Choice and located in St. Lucie West, they’ve sold 17,000 guns over five years and have been selected as the number 1 gun store on the Treasure Coast. With sales, service and classes for just about every firearm you can bring to them, the shop is truly a one-stop for firearms enthusiasts or first-time buyers. You can visit them at the shop at 3399 N Federal Highway in Jensen Beach or at any of the various gun shows across the Treasure Coast. In keeping with their emphasis on educating people about gun ownership and the laws associated with them, Cooper says when it comes to gun shows, its best to check with a gun shop before making any transaction with private sellers or buyers. The shop is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. Mr. Guns is located at 3399 NW Federal Hwy, Jensen Beach. For more call (772) 618-5177 or visit www.mrgunsonus1.com.

MARTIN COUNTY — On Saturday, June 11, outdoor music venue Terra Fermata will host the Second Annual Dirty River Jam to benefit Bullsugar.org and Citizens for Clean Water (C4CW). Bands confirmed for the event include returning favorites, Strung Like a Horse, bringing their unique high-energy gypsy-garage sound and fired-up stage show, along with Cranford Hollow, The Inverted, Chris King, String Assassins, Ryan Owens & The Fiddle King, and Revelry. Activities will include a live auction and raffle, a dunk tank with local personalities, a Key Lime pie-eating contest and an opportunity for the little ones to engage in fun river-related activities at the River Kidz Corner from noon until 5 p.m. A variety of food will be available from on-site vendors. Bullsugar.org, a non-profit, 501c4 grassroots organization and its affiliate, The Clean Wa-
ter Party, a 501c3 organization, are dedicated to compelling the Florida Legislature to buy land in the Everglades Agricultural Area to store, clean and send fresh water south to Everglades National Park and Florida Bay, ending the destructive Lake Okeechobee discharges into the St. Lucie River and Indian River and Caloosahatchee River estuaries. Citizens for Clean Water is a 501c3 organization seeking to influence lawmakers to end Lake Okeechobee discharges into South Florida’s coastal estuaries and restore the Everglades by engaging the public in an ongoing campaign of awareness, education and activism. The event is free for all ages from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. A cover of $10 will be charged for the adult-only hours from 6-11 p.m. Terra Fermata is located at 26 S.E. Sixth St., Stuart, FL.

BOSER from page 5 dates are. I send reports to her for court dates. She is ready to talk to me or hook me up to the right people. It’s a very organized process. I love the attorney for the Department of Children and Families, Maryann Diaz. She knows her job inside and out. She’s very caring. The GAL attorney, Roberta Katz, is another rock star. There’s a great support system. When you’re going to court, the attorney walks you through it to make sure you’re totally comfortable. It’s not intimidating.” GALs are required to visit their children at least once every 30 days and issue a report. The Bosers just returned from a fiveweek trip abroad and Boser noted that arrangements are made to cover visits in your absence. “The manager helps coordinate it so the child is covered,” she said. “It doesn’t lock you down.” Boser is working with four children now, ages, 3, 6, 7 and 18 months. GALs have the option of choosing the number of children they cover and the ages. Some prefer younger children and some prefer teens. “The volunteer can say they only want children under a certain age,” she said. She added,
tongue-in-cheek, ‘They can’t talk until they’re 3, and they’ll talk until they’re 13. Then they don’t want to talk to you.’” Boser noted that most of her cases are the result of drugs or domestic violence in the home. “Those are two things that bring them into the dependency system,” she said. “Florida requires children in the dependency system who are not of school age to be in day care, so there are adult eyes on the child and the child is part of the community. If they’re just in homes, you don’t know what’s going on. My job is to make sure they’re having the normal life they’re supposed to have, no matter what their parents are doing. These children are truly victims. It’s not their fault.” For Boser, the work is very gratifying. “It’s extremely rewarding and you’re giving back to the community,” she said. “Martin County does a great job of staying on top of the kids. I’m happy to be living in Martin County. It’s a nice community.” For more information about the Guardian ad Litem program, visit the website www.guardianadlitem.org. or call (772) 785-5804.

Outlaugh hunger with Steve Zimmerman FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
TREASURE COAST — Outlaugh Hunger, the comedy fundraiser that supports Treasure Coast Food Bank, returns this summer to the Sunrise Theater’s Black Box Aug. 19 — just in time to help restock food pantries when shelves are nearly bare. This year’s event is headlined by Steve Zimmerman, and also features well-known local comic Casey Peruski as well as returning favorite Tomas Diebold. Zimmerman is a class act comedian the whole family can enjoy. He has performed all over the world, and his background includes Broadway, TV and film credits. He’s entertained cruise ship crowds out of South Florida for several years. As much an entertainer as a comedian, Zimmerman’s movie credits include TAP with Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr., Harlem Nights, and Broadway’s Tap Dance Kid. Expect him to include some foot work along with his comedy. Also expect him to get the audience involved in the family-oriented performance.
Zimmerman is joined by crowd favorites from last year Tomas Diebold along with Casey Peruski, who performs regularly at the Sunrise. “Zimmerman is one of our favorite acts. He’s perfect for these kinds of events because he can play to all audiences, said Peruski, who performs his own brand of observational comedy with his uncle, Michael “Spaz” McGoorty as Casey N Spaz. “We love the Treasure Coast Food Bank,” Peruski added. “I donated my time last year because we love to see great things and great shows in our community.” The late summer performance is expected to help stock Treasure Coast Food Bank’s shelves at a time when pantry shelves typically go bare. Last year’s event raised enough to pay for 35,000 meals. Tickets are $25 for general admission and $50 for VIP seating, which includes two drinks. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact Rhonda Blakey, Director of Donor Relations, at (772) 489-3034 for more information. For tickets, visit www.sunrisetheatre.com and click “buy tickets.”

Lyric season a mix of exciting new and popular favorites STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — This time of year brings all kinds of exciting news for those of us who love the arts and entertainment. The Lyric Theatre has unveiled its 20162017 season and it is a mix of the new, returning favorites and new twists on performances by those we‘ve come to love at the Lyric. Tickets are on sale now for Lyric members. There are three names that caught my eye immediately. Legendary is a word that is overused, but it fits all three. Soprano Renee Fleming, the legendary opera star, comes to the Lyric Jan. 31. Legendary comedian Lily Tomlin returns for two nights, Feb. 6-7. Finally, legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman teams with pianist Rohan De Silva March 7. And did I mention that 3 Redneck Tenors are back? The season opens Dec. 6 with “A Peter White Christmas,” featuring Peter White, Rick Braun and Euge Groove. Groove, a saxophonist, replaces Mindi Abair this year, but all the favorite songs and special spins on classic tunes will usher in the season. Dec. 14 brings “Atlantic City Boys with a Holiday Twist.” The

boys recall the sound of the ‘60s, performing hits like “Build Me Up, Buttercup,” and “In the Still of the Night.” Given the season, they’ll add some Christmas and Chanukah classics, as well. “A Jew, an Irishman and Italian Walk into a Bar” bills itself as an evening of clean stand-up comedy. The Dec. 18 show marks the return of Freddy Roman to the Lyric and is perfect for the entire family. The Capitol Steps return Jan. 4 with a show called “What to Expect when You’re Electing.” The Steps are always popular, and never more so when politics is wild and crazy. “Waist Watchers: The Musical” comes to town Jan. 10. For those who loved “Menopause! The Musical,” this show that takes place in a women’s gym is sure to please. There are songs like “Botox Queen” (think ABBA) and “I Went to the Buffet Line,” (think Marvin Gaye.) Every woman--and the man who loves-- her-can relate. The 5 Irish Tenors comes to town Jan. 14 for two shows. The five men will perform a collection of Irish tunes and classic opera arias. Jarrod Spector presents “A Little Help from My Friends” Jan 16. The star of “Jersey Boys” brings this production that explores the music of Frankie Valli from the Beach Boys to Paul McCartney. Spector played Valli on Broadway
Comedian Lily Tomlin returns to the Lyric Theatre next season. Tickets for the season, which also includes violinist Itzhak Perlman and opera star Renee Fleming, are on sale to members now.

She has been called “the funniest woman doing stand-up now” and has starred in her own specials on HBO and Comedy Central. The Glenn Miller Orchestra, an authentic recreation of the renowned ensemble, brings the Big Band sounds to the Lyric Jan. 20
for two shows. Up-and-coming bluegrass musician and mandolin prodigy Sierra Hull returns to the Lyric Jan. 21. Hull is the first bluegrass musician to receive a presidential scholarship at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and has redefined the genre. “Beehive: the ‘60s Musical 30th

LYRIC from page 25 Anniversary Tour” comes to town Feb. 1-2 for three shows. The show highlights some of the best female musicians of the 1960s, from Lesley Gore to Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. “Vocalosity” comes to the Lyric Feb. 4 for two shows. The fastpaced a cappella show features everything from Gregorian chants to barber shop quartets, from the Beatles to Bruno Mars. “Pump Boys and Dinettes” rolls in Feb. 8 for two shows. The Broadway hit was nominated for three Tony Awards and two Drama Desk Awards and is one of the happiest shows around. In “The Mystical Arts of Tibet,” multiphonic singers from a Tibetan monastery will perform sacred temple music and masked dances as part of their multinational tour for world healing. They have been endorsed by the Dalai Lama and performed at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. The performances are Feb. 10-11. “Four Bitchin’ Babes” return Feb. 12 with a new show, “Hormonal Imbalance v2.5 A Mood Swinging Musical Revue.” They perform all their fan favorites and are a perfect girls’ night out. On Feb. 13, “’50s Dance Party” recreates the last tour of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It includes songs like
“Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day,” and “La Bamba,” and stars John Mueller, the former star of the musical “Buddy…the Buddy Holly Story.” Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, is “Live in Central Park (Revisited): Celebrating Andrea Bocelli’s Concerto: One Night in Central Park.” This show recreates the Sept. 16, 2011 concert Bocelli performed in New York in front of 60,000 fans. “The Ladies? From Jersey: An Evening of Clean Stand-Up Comedy,” features comedians Tammy Pescatelli and Karen Rontowski. The Feb 16 show brings a little bit of Jersey to Florida. “Sounds of Soul” comes to town Feb. 18. The Motown tribute show features six performers and all of the greatest hits from the Four Tops to Tina Turner to the Temptations and Supremes. “Doo Wop Project,” on Feb. 22, features the stars of the Broadway hit “Jersey Boys.” It has music from the Belmonts and the Crests and some of the more modern manifestations of the genre with the music of Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse. “Live from Nashville” on Feb. 23 features the hits of musicians from Patsy Cline to Johnny Cash. Fiddlers, pianists, bassists, guitar players, vocalists and dancers bring favorite songs to life. 3 Redneck Tenors returns Feb.

24-25 with three shows entitled “Shut Up and Sing.” The mullet-wearing, classically trained singers are “Duck Dynasty meets Carnegie Hall” and the boys are always popular. “Mutts Gone Nuts,” on Feb. 26, is a show featuring talented dogs who perform on the high wire and do other non-doggy tricks. The show stars nine canine acrobats that were rescued and is perfect for the entire family. “Hello Jerry, The Music of Jerry Herman,” appears Feb. 27. “Hello Jerry” celebrates the amazing Jerry Herman, writer of “Hello, Dolly,” and “La Cage aux Folles.” The revue stars Billy Stritch, Carole Bufford and Marissa Mulder and brings to life some of Broadway’s best music. Walter Parks’ “Swamp by Chandelier” returns March 11. The former lead guitarist for Richie Havens returns with his finger-picking jazz and blues sound. Comedian Yakov Smirnoff comes to town March 16 and Stuart may never be the same. The master of word play and social commentary brings his “Happily Every Laughter” tour, which focuses on the neuroscience of romantic relationships. That’s what they tell me; you’ll have to come see it for yourself. “This Joint is Jumpin’ Starring Ken Page” brings the star of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” to town March 18-19.
Page and some guests take on the music of Fats Waller, celebrated in the Broadway show “Ain’t Misbehavin’.” Doc Grober and the Mudcats return Match 23 in “The Jazz Age.” The beloved Doc and his band bring the sounds of the ‘20s and ‘30s to life. Another Lyric favorite, Steve Solomon, returns with “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy” March 28. It’s the original, the show that has been seen by more than 450,000 people, Bravo Amici on March 29 is a tribute to contemporary classic crossover music. The vocalists of Bravo Amici blend pop and classical and have sold more than three million albums. This is their Lyric debut. Shows will be added to the season, and tickets are on sale to members now. Memberships can be purchased at any time and some of the popular favorites go quickly. If you see something you like, become a member and get your tickets now. Tickets for shows at The Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W.

Although I am not fond of loud noises and thunder, I am a 7-1/2 year-old chap who wishes to be your one and only. I adore playtime, treats & of course, my toys! You will be impressed with my talents of “sit”, “stay”, “lay down”, “drop it” and “off”. I can’t wait to shower all of my 57 pounds of love on my new devoted and forever family.

My velvety soft fur is a mixture of brown, black and beige on the outside and 9 lbs. of love and tenderness on the inside. Lounging in the sunlight, affection and chin scratches I so enjoy. Not only am I adorable but also unique, see if I select you for my very own.
