EMC director: Area better prepared 10 years after Frances, Jeanne Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

TREASURE COAST — Although it’s been a decade since the Treasure Coast was battered by a major hurricane, experts caution residents to heed their advice to stock up and formulate a storm plan.
“It only takes one storm,” Martin County Emergency management director Debra McCaughey warns. In 2004, it was two. Hurricane Frances formed from a tropical depression in the deep tropical Atlantic on

MARTIN COUNTY — The county commission is finding more religion these days after getting complaints from humanists last year. And even a little non-religion. “We now have equal rights to deliver invocations, and we
appreciate that,” said Joe Beck, founder and president of the Stuart-based Humanists of the Treasure Coast. On June 3, after press time, the commission is slated to start its regular meeting with an invocation done by Rabbi Jeffrey Goldwasser, Temple Beit HaYam, Stuart. Goldwas-

Aug. 25 about 1,400 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and reached hurricane strength on Aug. 26. Frances became a Category 4 hurricane on Aug. 28 while about 700 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. She then moved generally west northwest and weakened to a Category 2 hurricane while crossing the northwest Bahamas. After stalling for 12 hours on Sept. 4 in the Florida Straits between Grand Bahama Island and the southeast Florida coast, Frances zeroed in on the Treasure Coast, according to the National Weather Service’s website. The center of the nearly 70-mile diameter eye crossed the Florida coast near Sewalls Point, at 1 a.m., Sept. 5. Not even two weeks later on Sept. 13, Hurricane Jeanne formed from a tropical depression just east of the Leeward Islands. She moved across Puerto Rico and Hispaniola then turned north into the Atlantic and became a hurricane on Sept. 20. Jeanne made a clockwise loop for three days in the Atlantic north of Hispaniola before moving west northwest. It strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane while over the northwest Bahamas and then made landfall around 11 p.m., on Sept. 25 near the south end of Hutchinson Island, nearly coincident with the landfall point of Hurricane Frances. Jeanne had a 40-mile diameter eye, according to the to the National Weather Service’s website. Forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predict a slower than average season with eight to 13 named storms. Three to six of them could become nine hurricanes with one to two major hurricanes. Major hurricanes are defined as Category 3 or above. That “one” storm in a predictably slow 1992 season was Hurricane Andrew that ripped through Homestead, leaving a multi-million dollar path of devastation and dozens of deaths. That small chance with potentially big
consequences should spur area residents to prepare now, if they haven’t already, experts stress. Since Frances and Jeanne, both St. Lucie and Martin counties have beefed up their emergency management centers. The Division of Emergency Management in St. Lucie County went from a 7,000-square-foot building to a 28,000-square-foot fortress in 2009, its director Tom Daly said. “We’ve increased our technology significantly,” Daly said. “We have the capability to broadcast live from the EOC.” The new building has a media room and WQCS has a studio inside. Martin County had a similar overhaul since the historic storms. “It’s almost like where do you begin? We’re in a totally different facility,” McCaughey said. “It’s much larger and can accommodate more people.” It also has a commercial kitchen, showers and state-of-the-art technology. “The technology we have within our EOC is tremendous,” she said. “We had very little back then.” One of those new technologies is the Code Red emergency notification system with weather updates, boil water notices, nuclear evacuations and fire warnings. Treasure Coast residents should be in the midst of compiling their supplies, both experts said. “Do not wait until we’re threatened by a storm to run out and stock up on provisions,” McCaughey said. Survival kits should include water, nonperishable food, batteries, flashlights, a battery-operated radio, household unscented bleach to purify drinking water, pet supplies, manual can opener, disposable eating utensils, a fire extinguisher, first-aid kit, gas grill for outdoor use, matches and copies of important documents.

PALM CITY — Last year, Pastor Maryanne Kehlenbach was charged with the mission of starting a church in Tradition from the ground up. Under the auspices of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Palm City, Kehlenbach started Living Faith Church. The pastor, who was a successful banker before turning to the ministry, has been working hard to build a congregation. While the church owns property at the corner of Southwest Community Boulevard and Southwest Rowley Way, they do not yet have a building. Small groups have met in homes. The pastor has organized several programs, including Family and Faith Together, for families and youngsters 6-16. The fledgling church has also hosted events at Tradition

for Halloween and Christmas Eve services. Still, Kehlenbach knew that people preferred to have a building in which to worship. That task just got easier. On May 18, Edwin Williams, president of Immanuel Lutheran Church, presented Pastor Maryanne, as she is known, with a check for $12,000 on behalf of the members of Immanuel Lutheran. The gift will be used to begin regular Sunday worship series in Tradition Town Hall, beginning in August. In a statement, Marilyn Nordine, communications chair of Immanuel Lutheran, said that the gift was an affirmation of the progress that has been made. “The churches join in celebrating this milestone in the Tradition church’s development and in establishing Living Faith Church as an integral part of the Tradition community,” she said. In a written response, Kehlenbach said that the members of her church were grateful for the gift. “The donated monies will help support weekly worship, which will begin Sunday, Aug. 17 at 10 a.m. at Tradition Town Hall.

Giving Day — Beware of new IRS scam improving Letter to the editor: I am writing to you so that you can notify your readers of an IRS impersonation scam that is being perpetrated, probably throughout the country, and certainly locally. One of my clients called me this past week, very upset, to tell me that a man called her claiming to be an investigator from the IRS. Interestingly enough the call showed up on my client’s caller ID as being from Washington, D.C. (202) 239-6520. The caller used the name Eric Matthews and was threatening to have someone come to her home in 30 minutes to arrest her because she was in a lot of trouble. Fortunately she told the caller that her accountant knew people at the IRS, and to come on over, as she had done nothing
wrong. She called me right away and I was able to tell her that it was a scam. These imposters claiming to be IRS agents, call people demanding they pay taxes they don’t owe, by loading money onto a prepaid card or wiring money to them and the money would be credited to unpaid taxes, all in order to avoid arrest. I advised my client to notify the Port St. Lucie Police Department, which she did. I believe the police are getting calls from other folks who have received similar threats. Anyone receiving such calls should notify the local police and the Internal Revenue Criminal Investigation division. Michael R. Repoli, CPA Treasure Coast

ur area recently had the Great Give, a day where the Martin County Community Foundation (@YourMCCF) matches funds given to local 501(c)(3) organizations who have registered for the program. It is a really great way for people to multiply their giving to their favorite local nonprofit organizations. The Great Give moved me to think more about the benefits of giving to others. Not only do the organizations win out when we give, we ourselves receive much from giving. Being of service to others and other organizations allows us to get outside of ourselves. We strive outwardly for others and in doing so, we realize that there are so many with needs that outweigh our own. Also, when we are concentrating on others and their needs, we tend to not think as much of our own troubles. Serving with our time, talents, and finances is instrumental in the success of a nonprofit organization. Our special abilities, dedication, and monetary support keeps the charity going in ways that it could not otherwise function. Improvement of ourselves and the organizations we serve results from serving others. We would/should never give just to receive something in return, but often those who serve receive much more personally than those that they serve. New friends will be developed from serving others through their volunteers, board, supporters, or those who are being helped. And, yes, there are personal monetary returns via the tax code when you give goods and finances to approved nonprofit organizations. Where do we serve, then? There are so many needs, but only so much of ourselves to go around. First, take an inventory of what you have to offer. Is it your intellect? Maybe a strong back? Maybe a huge bank account? Maybe it is your encouraging personality, organizational skills, mentoring abilities, or your life experiences that you can give to others to benefit their needs. Use a close friend or loved one to assist you in evaluating what gifts you have to share. Once you decide what you can give, determine how much of your gift you can and will be able to give. We all have other obligations that we have to perform — family, job, household, etc.,

HUMANIST from page 1 ser said it appears he’ll be the first member of clergy outside of Christianity, at least in memory, to deliver an invocation at a county commission meeting. “Martin County is changing, especially in its attitude toward pluralism,” he said. “I’m very pleased by the changes I see happening.” Beck is tentatively scheduled to deliver an invocation at the June 17 regular commission meeting. Some are scratching their heads wondering what Beck, a self-proclaimed atheist, can and will offer as an invocation, which is a type of prayer. And to whom. Commissioner John Haddox, Palm City, requested not to be directly quoted, but said he’s confused by the proposal of an atheist offering what amounts to a prayer. Pastor Gary Durham, pastor of Palm City’s New Hope Fellowship Church, said the idea “is kind of silly.” “I’m not comfortable with an atheist giving a prayer,” Durham said. “It’s an absurdity.” Durham has never given an invocation at the Martin County Commission meetings, but has delivered one at the Florida House of Representatives. Beck said he’s still working out details of his upcoming invocation, and he may urge those present at the commission meeting to
Joe Beck focus their thoughts on gods they believe in as he delivers it. “(Humanists’) understanding of an invocation is that it doesn’t have to be toward a specific deity,” he said. “We would (use the invocation) to encourage folks, commissioners and the audience, to treat each other with respect as we seek solutions to today’s problem.” The commission adopted new rules for invocations back in February after the Appignani Humanist Legal Center sent the
county a letter raising issues about who got to deliver them. The center launched an investigation into the county’s invocation practices after Beck called it for legal advice. Beck, who’s a celebrant — the equivalent of clergy in the American Humanist Association’s Humanist Society — said he called the county to get on the list to deliver invocations last year. Someone told him that the county staff didn’t schedule invocations, but had delegated that to an outside organization, the Martin County Ministerial Association. Beck wasn’t certain of the individual’s identity. Beck had no luck reaching the ministerial association. He also wondered if it was legal for the association to schedule invocation deliverers for the county commission anyhow. So, he called the Appignani Center. Monica Miller, an attorney at the center, told Your Voice News & Views in December that agendas showed the commission hadn’t gotten much variety of prayers in the previous two years. “They’ve had a rotation of the same three or four ministers the last few years,” she said. The center also discovered that all who’d delivered invocations during those two years were Christians. That, Miller said, had

HUMANIST from page 7 the potential of being counted as promoting Christianity over other religions — a possible violation of the Constitution. The center urged the commission to discontinue invocations, make them more inclusive with more deliverers, or adopt a moment of silence at the launch of meetings. In a separate interview, David French, a senior council at the openly-religious American Center for Law and Justice, said any one of those would pass constitutional muster. French hadn’t read the Appignani Center’s letter to Martin County at the time he’d spoken to Your Voice. “As a general rule a policy is preferable to ad hocery,” French said in a previous interview. He later added, “Those counties and town councils and school boards that have had the most success in defending invocations use religion-blind methods for selecting the speaker.” County Attorney Michael Durham, no relationship to Pastor Gary Durham, said in a recent interview that there were possible legal issues with the county delegating the scheduling of invocations to a ministerial association. “You were turning that over to a group, the ministerial association, so that group was implementing county policy,” Durham said. After Durham explained its options, the commission opted to keep and make invocations more available to a wider variety of clergy members and equivalents. In a resolution adopted on Feb. 25, the commission directed county staff to compile a list of local religious organizations through phone-book entries to send letters offering opportunities to give invocations at meetings. The resolution also opened a way for members of the clergy, or equivalents, to request spots on invocation rotations. “We researched numerous policies and found ones like this when they had been (legally)

challenged survived,” Durham said. The county asks those delivering invocations to refrain from using them for proselytizing, disparaging others’ faiths, or attempting to affiliate government with a specific religion. Pastor Rick Addison — The Grace Place Community Church, Stuart — delivered at least eight invocations over two years, 2012 to 2013, according to the Appignani Center. Addison said that he has no issues with other religions and even humanists getting a share of the prayers. “I have no problem with (Beck) going there and delivering some sort of invocation,” he said. “I have no idea who a humanist prays to. So long as he doesn’t try to prohibit me from going and honoring my savior.” County Attorney Durham, Haddox and Beck said they’ve heard no complaints about a humanist being scheduled to deliver an invocation at a commission meeting. Beck said if there are complaints, they’d likely come from fringe individuals who don’t represent the majority of other religious believers. “I am confident that there will be no conflict with the Martin County Commission,” Beck said. “It’s always possible some radical individuals might want to deny another the right to deliver invocations. I’d remind them we’re in the United States of America, which is a secular democracy.” Beck said that while most humanists are either agnostic or atheist, an atheist is not automatically a humanist. Atheism simply means that one doesn’t believe there are one or more beings that qualify for being considered God or gods. Atheism, he said, carries no explicit or subtle meaning besides that. Some humanists are pantheists or deists. The Humanist Society essentially ordains celebrants, so they can function similarly to religious ministers, such as officiating at weddings or delivering invocations at government meetings. “I’m the first humanist chaplain in Florida,” he said.

TREASURE COAST — Much like the rest of Congress, who was left in the dark about the swap of an American prisoner of war for five Guantanamo Bay Taliban detainees, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, has a lot of questions for the Obama Administration. “I do have some reservations about this deal and I have a lot of questions,” Murphy said. Bowe Bergdahl, 28, was traded late last month by the Obama Administration for five Taliban members held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Bergdahl apparently left his platoon and was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan in June 2009. The circumstances under which Bergdahl went missing
remain murky. Former Army mates have spoken out publicly, saying Bergdahl had become disillusioned by the war and went AWOL. The Obama Administration is also under fire for not briefing Congress before the exchange, a requirement of federal law if detainees are going to be released. Did the White House break the law and send the message America negotiates with terrorists? Murphy’s not sure. “I’m not ready to go that far yet … I’ve been a little bit hesitant to speculate, because I haven’t been in D.C. yet to be briefed,” Murphy said. “I do wish the White House would have briefed the appropriate committees. That’s definitely something I’m anxious to have happen.” Just before Bergdahl’s controversial release from captivity,

large supply of wipes, which become a rare commodity during a crisis, Daly said. Prescription medication should be filled before a storm. Should residents decide to stay and hunker down, a household must have enough supplies to last a week, Daly said. “I highly recommend having enough supplies for seven days, although they recommend 72 hours,” Daly said. An established evacuation plan with early communication between friends and family is vital, Daly said. “Let them know your evacuation plans and that you’ll be safe,” Daly said. If you evacuate, take all important documents such as birth certificates and home deeds, McCaughey said. And if you live in a manufactured home, you will be ordered to evacuate. “(They) just can’t take the wind a hurricane brings in,” McCaughey said. Now is also the time to trim foliage. “Typically, the solid waste department won’t be picking up at that time, so it’s best to do it now, because if they don’t get picked up, they can become projectiles,” Daly said.

Bowe Bergdahl Photo courtesy of The Office of Congressman Patrick Murphy Over Memorial Day weekend, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, visited U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan. Murphy was part of a bipartisan delegation, spending time with service members as well as meeting with military leaders to be updated on the current situation on the ground. Murphy is shown here with U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph E. Dunford Jr., who was just last week named next commandant of the Marine Corps.

Murphy spent Memorial Day with troops stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan where great strides toward a free country have been made thanks to U.S. forces, Murphy said. “I went over a bit pessimistic about the chance of democracy or prosperity in Afghanistan. But that really changed,” Murphy said. “I think there’s a fighting chance that things are going to work out for the better there.” The Afghan military, which is slowly becoming more independent, numbers to almost 350,000, Murphy said. “We’re not out there doing hand-to-hand combat missions. The vast majority of what we’re doing is training them. In the last year or so, we really stopped the detailed oversight. It’s really more high-level things like budgeting,” Murphy said. “Sometimes they’ll come back after a mission and report to us and we’ll tell them they could have done better, but they’re basically operating independently right now.”
During a recent presidential election, Afghans voted overwhelmingly for two pro-Western candidates, who will face off during a runoff election later this month, Murphy said. “It was really more about which candidate people thought was going to be better for the economy or better for women’s rights or better for personal liberties, much like you would see in America,” Murphy said. During his trip overseas, Murphy learned Kabul had a 60 percent voter turnout. Of the 60 percent, 40 percent were women voters, Murphy said. While venturing off base, Murphy witnessed the technological advances that have happened since war was waged more than 10 years ago. “The propaganda machine of the Taliban cannot overcome this,” Murphy said. “Sixty percent of Afghans have cell phones, 80 percent have access to a cell phone.” But there’s still more work to

During his conversations with service members, they voiced concerns about their benefits upon arriving back to the states amid the VA shakeup. “There were definitely some concerns there,” Murphy said. “They feel like they were being taken care of overseas and had a little bit of hesitation about when they come home what’s going to happen.”
