Commission delays decision about BDB

FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2016

Bathtub beach re-opens

MARTIN COUNTY — In another narrow vote, the County Commission gave the Business Development Board of Martin County a six-month “probation” rather than new contract. Commissioner John Haddox wondered aloud if there wasn’t so much questions about performance, but rather election-year politics going on.

“This is at least the third item we’ve delayed by six months,” Haddox said at the meeting.

He noted that making decisions about the future of the public Martin County Golf Course and possible move of the Martin County Fairgrounds were two things that the commission has kicked down the road. Both swirl in controversy, as does the Business Development Board, BDB. “There happens to be an important event in the middle of these six months,” he added.

That, of course, is the upcoming election. Three commissioners are up for reelection — Anne Scott and Doug Smith, along with Haddox.

The BDB, has a three-year contract that expires at the end of September, the end of the county’s fiscal year. The commission rejected a proposed contract for $272,000 a year starting on Oct. 1, opting instead to extend the existing contract for $260,000, along with matching funds for private

Martin heads to federal court Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

TREASURE COAST — Martin County will take its next swing at shutting down the private-activity bonds the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Florida Development Finance Corporation approved for All Aboard

Florida.

“It was never their legal authority,” County Attorney Michael Durham said in a phone interview.

On June 30 the county will be in a hearing at the District Court for the District of Columbia arguing that the county has legal standing to challenge the federal transportation department’s decision to give the hybrid bonds

the green light at the end of 2014. At best, Judge Christopher Cooper can agree and let the county move onto the next hearing. However, if the judge finds otherwise, the county can’t move to the next legal phase unless it wins an appeal.

In other words, Cooper can

BDB from page 1 donations.

“I would be willing to extend the contract by six months and only six months and have you come back and say, ‘This is what we’re going to do,’” Scott told Tim Dougher, executive director of the BDB, at the meeting.

Commissioner Ed Fielding moved for the six-month contract extension. Commissioner Sarah Heard seconded. The motion passed 3-2 with Smith and Haddox dissenting. The commission has had a strained relationship with the BDB since 2012 when Scott and Haddox joined Fielding and Heard in what’s commonly called the “new commission majority,” an ideological shift toward stiffer development restrictions in the Martin County Growth Management Plan.

Since 2012 Haddox has proven to be a reliable pro-business vote on items outside the growth management plan, such as supporting efforts to get a long-discussed U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement facility at Witham Field, Martin County Airport. He’s in a threeway race against former commissioner Ed Ciampi — who’s generally viewed as pro-business — and former commissioner Donna Melzer — who’s generally viewed as being pro-environment.

It’s hazardous to draw fast political lines in Martin County where narrow differences are often greatly magnified. All three candidates are Republicans. Unless a Democrat or other makes a late entry into the race, it’ll be decided in a universal primary in August.

A 2009 contract started the BDB at $625,000 a year. By 2013 it was up $643,000. But in early 2013, in a 3-2 vote, the commission suspended contractual payments to the board, and started a prickly contract renegotiation.

Haddox opposed the payment suspensions, but supported a contract renegotiation. By December that year the county and board inked a new contract worth $430,000 the first year. That was to drop to $340,000 in the second and $260,000 in the third years.

Additionally, the new contract called for the BDB to develop private funding with matching funds for enticement.

At the meeting, Tim Dougher, executive director, said the BDB has developed $40,000 a year in private funding, and he defended the public-private economic-development organization’s performance.

Before the commission vote, several spoke in favor of giving the BDB the new contract, including Florida House of Representatives member Gayle Harrell. She said Florida has developed about a million private sector jobs since 2010, and some are in Martin County.

“The Business Development Board is a key driver in assisting in doing that,” she told the commission.

She said the BDB “helps create good, solid, clean jobs.” Additionally, Representative MaryLynn Magar spoke in support of the BDB, along with several business owners.

Most surprisingly, Henry Copeland, who’s running against Smith, spoke in favor of the BDB. Copeland — a frequent public speaker at commission meetings — almost never agrees with Smith.

“The BDB needs to be supported, and they need to know they’re supported,” he told the commission before the vote. Copeland added, “Job creation is a private sector thing. There may be some warts along the way, but it’s an essential organization.”

The star power didn’t help. Scott led the charge in criticism “I think we’re still trolling for widget makers,” she said at the meeting. She added, “The private industry buy-in has been negligible.”

Haddox said he found the criticism incomprehensible.

“It’s like I’m in the twilight zone here,” he said. “It’s like none of you here exist,” he added, speaking to the BDB supporters. “The community is here and the community has spoken, but I guess there are only two people listening.”

K.C. Ingram Show hosts congressional candidate forum Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

TREASURE COAST — At least seven of 13 candidates listed by the Florida Department of Elections for the 18th Congressional District will be at the candidate forum hosted by the K.C. Ingram Show on Monday, June 27.

“On the Republican side, I have Brian Mast, Rick Kozell, Carl Domino, Rebecca Negron and Dr. (Mark) Freeman,” K.C. Ingram said.

Palm City’s Ingram is also known as K.C. Traylor. She’s hosted the weekly local talk radio show for about two years.

“On the Democratic side, I have Jonathan Chane, John Xuna and Randy Perkins is uncertain at this point. He has not said yes or no.”

The forum will be at Blake Library, 2351 S.E. Monterey Road, Stuart. Democrats will kick off the evening at 4:05 p.m. They’ll have an hour. Republicans will follow at 5:30 p.m. They, too, will have an hour.

“It will be aired live on WSTU, AM 1450,” Ingram said. “Listen from the comfort of your home.”

Additionally, the Stuart radio station will archive the forum for folks to listen at will.

Ingram said this isn’t a debate “It’s is a forum,” Ingram said.

“It’s set up so there will be nine to 12 questions.”

Candidates will have two minutes to answer the questions.

Ingram said the questions are a compilation of suggestions emailed to the show, and her talking to groups such as veterans organizations. Audience members won’t have the opportunity to ask or submit questions.

There won’t be any free swipes at other candidates.

“If a candidate’s name is mentioned (by another when answering questions), they’ll have a chance for rebuttal,” Ingram said.

There’ll also be a round of quick questions.

“These are for or against questions,” Ingram said. “They won’t have the opportunity to elaborate.”

However — “Each candidate is

“I just think it’s a really good opportunity. It’s an opportunity to get to know these candidates better. It’s free and open to the public. It’s going to be first-come, first-served.”

K.C. Ingram Traylor K.C. Ingram Traylor offered an hour on my show if they want to talk about any of the topics more in depth,” Ingram said.

The incumbent, Patrick Murphy, is vacating the congressional seat to make a bid to become Florida’s junior Senator. The 18th District encompasses the predominantly Democratic St. Lucie County and predominantly Republican Martin County. It also has a sliver of Palm Beach County’s northern side. The district has drawn a lot of national attention, because it’s

one of the few highly-competitive congressional seats around.

Ingram said the forum will be all about the 18th Congressional District.

Richard Geisinger will co-moderate the forum. He’s the president of the Martin County Taxpayers Association, but will not be representing that organization at the forum.

“I just think it’s a really good opportunity,” she said. “It’s an opportunity to get to know these candidates better. It’s free and open to the public. It’s going to be first-come first-served.”

MARTIN COUNTY — Serving as a popular destination for local families and out of town visitors, Bathtub Reef Beach is wellknown as one of Martin County’s fondest local treasures. In January 2016, the beach was closed for a major restoration effort to restore it to its former splendor after hurricane damages sustained in 2012 and other erosion had taken its toll. The County is pleased to announce that just in time for summer; a bigger and better Bathtub Reef Beach reopened to the public on Saturday, June 18.

The County and its contractor, Ferreira Construction, have completed the dredging and sand replenishment work. All equipment that had been staged on the beach has been removed in time to allow turtle nesting to begin.

One hundred parking spaces were restored in the parking lot which had been lost over the last several years as the beach eroded and sand was piled up in the parking area. The restored parking lot, which includes 100 spaces, will be open when the

The serpent in the bosom

O

bviously there is no reckoning the tragedy of the Orlando massacre: the 49 innocent lives cut short in the midst of dance, the several tens of survivors still struggling for peace, the renewed pain of persecution the LGBTQ community must feel, the emotionally ransacked families and friends of the victims, and the millions of heart-bruised people across the world and right next door, shaken to their humanity by this symbol of abject hatred — the latest episode in an ongoing series of horror.

As pundits and politicians are weighing on either side of the gun debate and the growing ISIS threat, as islamophobia and homophobia are brought to the surface of our national discourse, as we learn more about the particulars of this case, and the question whether anything could’ve been done is at the forefront our minds, it’s important to keep from confusing the issues.

Omar Mateen was not ISIS. And

OUR

Adam Laten Willson he was.

To date, the FBI hasn’t released more than a tenuous connection between Mateen and the organizations he has verbally linked himself to: Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and ISIS – consequently, all of these organizations are vicious enemies of one another, though Mateen says he was affiliated with them all.

VIEW

Mateen was a mentally and socially diseased young man with a long history of maladjustment, who alienated his peers, beat his wife, and abused steroids. He dreamed of being a cop, probably because he felt helpless otherwise.

He had most likely been manipulated by a toxic family environment for years, and in response sent up an embarrassing amount of red flags that went unheeded.

He was most likely frustrated with his inability to truly express love, to find community. His beliefs were in conflict and opportunistic.

He was scared of a life of total unimportance (though he had a wife and child).

All of Mateen’s vulnerability played perfectly into the schemes of ISIS, who did not take him in so much as a foster-parent does an

orphan, but as a cannon accepts a cannonball.

Mateen was the sort of broken human being that has come to be characterized as the “lone wolf.”

He was not ISIS, but he was.

He is a specimen of the new type of terrorist. No longer an Osama or Kazinsky, clutching a list of historical or ideological grievances, the new terrorist acts out of intense personal pain that has been calcified into hatred. The new terrorist is not part of any organization, any agenda, any operative besides their own self-obsessed vendetta.

They act recklessly, unpredictably.

These individuals have been so twisted in life, one twist more and they’re extremists.

Many of them were raised in abusive environments, or otherwise lack support in their lives.

Many have had difficulty with employment or schooling. Few of them are religious or ideological, or know anything more than what they read in Islam for Dummies

Patrick Murphy U.S. Representative our communities to prevent and respond to future mosquito-borne diseases, the legislation calls for a study of existing mosquito control programs to provide recommendations moving forward. The SMASH Act is the House companion to S. 3039 introduced last week by U.S. Senators Angus King (I-ME), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Richard Burr (R-NC).

“With more than 2,000 cases of Zika already in the United States and its territories and a vaccine at least several months away, effective mosquito control programs are what will make the difference between a few cases and an epidemic. To do that, Congress must provide the resources necessary for states and local part-

ners to implement and maintain world-leading mosquito control programs and control the spread of mosquito-borne diseases,” said Murphy. “Time is of the essence to get out in front of this growing threat to public health and I hope both chambers will quickly act on this much-needed legislation, as well as provide the full funding necessary to protect Americans from Zika.”

“This federal assistance would certainly help mosquito control districts in Florida and around the country to combat the threat from Zika as well as the many other serious mosquito-borne diseases.

There are so many ways we can employ these funds. Increased research and stepped-up public education are just two of those critical needs. Mosquito control is a complex business, and we need all the help we can get. A significant Zika outbreak in our district would be devastating. This grant program would help to offset the dropoff in state mosquito funding in recent years,” said Glenn Hen-

PALM CITY — Charity Navigator, America’s premier and largest independent charity evaluator, has announced that the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast (HSTC) has maintained its coveted 4-star rating — the highest rating possible — under a new rating system that utilizes an enhanced financial methodology. The new system uses seven financial health rating metrics, which are designed to help charitable givers make wise decisions in choosing the charities that are most worthy of their donations.

No other animal-related charity on the Treasure Coast received a 4-star rating.

The Humane Society’s overall ranking of four stars includes a four star ranking specifically in the areas of financial management and accountability and transparency. Using an unbiased, objective, numbers-based rating system, Charity Navigator helps guide intelligent giving by evaluating the financial health and accountability and transparency of roughly 8,000 mid-to-large sized charities that garner about 50 percent of all private contributions made in the USA each year (not including houses of worship).

According to Charity Navigator, receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that the

HSTC adheres to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities and consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. Only 20 percent of the 8,000 charities rated by Charity Navigator have received two consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator differentiates the HSTC from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.

“We are proud of the fact that we have been rated 4 stars six out of the last eight years, and never below 3 stars,” said HSTC President and CEO Frank Valente. “As for fiscal transparency, we have always been rated 4 stars, which means our donors can trust that we are using their contributions wisely to help the shelter animals.”

Charity Navigator reviews 17 governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness, providing information on its website for each of the charities it evaluates. The nonprofit organization accepts no advertising or donations from the organizations it evaluates, ensuring unbiased evaluations, nor does it charge the public for this trusted data.

In wake of shooting, hate-crime survivor speaks out FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

MARTIN COUNTY — The state of Florida is now home to the worst mass shooting in modern American history. The Pulse Nightclub attack in Orlando has, once again, brought the topics of access to firearms, immigration, and many other hot-button issues to the forefront. In the immediate aftermath of any public tragedy, media coverage is guaranteed.

Everyone has an opinion. Emotions are high. In the weeks and months after, coverage wanes with the exception of trials and repeat incidents. In the years after, the public often only notices the date of a tragic incident on the anniversary. But, for those personally affected, the event will be with them every day for the rest of their lives.

On July 28, 2006, a man who claimed to be “angry at Israel”

held a young girl at gunpoint and entered the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle with two semi-automatic weapons, a knife, and extra ammunition.

His shooting spree lasted 15 minutes, during which he held a pregnant woman hostage, murdered an employee fleeing down the stairs, and shot five others.

On July 29, 2016, 10 years and one day after this tragic event, survivor Tammy Kaiser will speak during Shabbat Services at Temple Beit HaYam about surviving a shooting, PTSD, raising a family in the shadow of tragedy, and being part of a faith community.

The event takes place on July 29 at 7 p.m. at Temple Beth HaYam, 951 SE Monterey Commons Boulevard, Stuart.

For more information, contact Tammy Kaiser at (772) 286-4374 ext. 20; visit www.tbhfl.org; or email Tammy@tbhfl.org.

Though the intent and investment of its members couldn’t be more opposite, ISIS bears operational similarities to Occupy Wall Street.

Like the anti-capitalist movement of 2011, ISIS has adopted a comeone-come-all recruitment attitude. Would-be assassins are only required to pledge allegiance to leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and regardless of their motive, they are eligible for martyrdom. Sadly, however, in being sent to their deaths these lone wolves are no less pawns than they were in life. ISIS couldn’t care less who they are.

In the case of Omar Mateen, he may have suffered from an organic disease that was beyond repair.

The serpent in his bosom could have been so embedded there was no hope. But very few people are that impervious to loving attention. It is truly embarrassing how obvious Mateen’s maladjustment was, how clear his formation into a psychopath, how many opportunities those around him had to intervene and didn’t, to possibly correct his course, away from hate and toward community.

There are aspects to this story that are mysterious and perhaps will always be, but this much is clear: ISIS was not the only influencing factor that led to the events

He may have been radicalized in the end, but that is only because in life, his family, his community, his coworkers, everyone who knew him seemed to abandon him to the diabolical momentum of his hatred.

Those who need us the most are the ones even now welling up with rancor, who are crying out for community and not receiving it, instead being left to their own nefarious devices.

PALM CITY — They came bearing gifts, lots of gifts — 1,527 cans of cat food, 519 pounds of dry food, 325 pound of litter, and thousands of dollars in monetary donations and gift cards, More than 250 guests attended the recent Caring Fields Felines’ Kitten Shower, each with a present for the kittens and cats at the organization’s sanctuary.

Volunteers and staff were blown away by the generosity and enthusiasm of this year’s attendees.

Many of them were visiting the sanctuary for the first time. As some perused the auction, others took guided tours of the cage-free property, and still others spent time with the kittens and cats in the cattery.

Twelve kittens and an adult Siamese-mix were adopted during the course of the afternoon.

Despite the violent thunderstorm that swept through the sanctuary mid-party, guests retained their sunny attitudes when the party moved indoors. Another glass of punch? Don’t mind if I do. Perhaps some cookies or a piece of cake?

Yes, please! This crowd wasn’t going to let a little rain ruin the party.

By the time the festivities drew to a close, the rain had abated and the last of the guests hopped a ride to his car via golf cart.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was a surprise donation by Joanne Matz from Help Us Help Them, made in honor of Virginia Sherlock. The generous gift of $5,000 will go a long way toward helping the organization reduce the overpopulation of unwanted felines through adoption and spay/ neuter.

beach reopens to the public on Saturday, June 18, 2016.

Martin County wishes to thank State Senator Joe Negron (R-Stuart) for securing nearly 40 percent of the total project cost through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Beach Management Funding Assistance Program. Martin County and Sailfish Point each paid 50 percent of the remaining project cost.

Senator Negron said, “Bathtub Beach is one of the jewels of our community, especially for families. I enjoyed working with Martin County and our legislative delegation to secure this important beach renourishment funding.”

Martin County Commission Chair Anne Scott added, “Senator Negron’s support was pivotal.

The project’s rapid completion, from turning dirt in January to returning the beach to the public in June, represents what can be accomplished with successful partnerships like this one.”

Key features of the Bathtub Reef Beach/ Sailfish Point renourishment project include: * The addition of more than 325,000 cubic yards of sand to the beach * New restroom facilities (to be complete January 2017 or earlier) * Renovated pavilion * Restored parking lot with 100 spaces * New vegetated dunes “We look forward to reopening Bathtub Reef Beach just in time for local families and visitors to enjoy their summer and make some new memories at this popular Martin County beach,” said Martin County coastal engineer Kathy FitzPatrick.

The restoration effort was performed in the most cost-efficient as well as the most environmentally sensitive manner. Sand was dredged from the flood shoals and the impoundment basin of the St. Lucie Inlet located immediately south of these beaches to help maintain the safety and navigability of the Inlet for local

boaters. The sand was then piped to the beach and distributed from that point across 4,900 feet of coastline, from just north of Bathtub Reef Beach and extending south into Sailfish Point. This approach created a high quality recreational beach, increased storm protection and is designed to protect the integrity of the fragile Sabellariid worm reef that serves as both a critical marine habitat and protective barrier at Bathtub Reef Beach.

Martin County’s Atlantic beaches span nearly 22 miles along our coast and include Jensen Beach, Stuart Beach, Sailfish Point, St. Lucie Inlet State Preserve, Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, and the Town of Jupiter Island.

These beaches are an integral part of the quality of life in Martin County, generate considerable revenue to the economy of Martin County, and support homes, businesses and related infrastructure (roads, utilities) for many residents and visitors.

Bathtub Reef is located just offshore at Bathtub Beach Park and is a popular spot for snorkelers due to the large numbers of marine creatures and fish that congregate there. Its presence is also a key factor in creating the “bathtub effect” of very shallow waters during low tide that make it such a favorite swimming location for families with young children.

Bathtub Reef is a fascinating reef system, created by tiny tube-building Sabellariid sea worms. It is not only an incredibly unique system, but also an extremely fragile one. The worms cement sand grains together, creating a vast network of tube dwellings. Colonies build on top of one another over time and create a reef system that helps break waves and reduce beach erosion.

This habitat is used by more than 500 marine species including endangered sea turtles that forage on and around the reef.

hand Martin a big setback, or a moderate win.

The Florida Development Finance Corporation’s, FDFC, board gave All Aboard Florida the nod last August to issue up to $1.75 billion in hybrid tax-exempt bonds — called private activity bonds — to build its proposed high-speed rail service from Miami to Orlando.

Martin isn’t the only county challenging the bonds. Indian River is as well. However, a Leon County state judge recently ruled against Indian River County is a similar case against the FDFC that Martin is taking to the federal court against the federal transportation department later this month. Durham said complicating legal issues is the unusual nature of the proposed highspeed passenger rail that would pass though the Treasure Coast 32 times a day.

It’s proposed to be a large piece of non-traditional transportation infrastructure that’s privately owned, but financed in part with government loans and the hybrid bonds. The closest analogy is the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, better known as Amtrak. That’s a not-for-profit company created by legislation in 1970 operating partly with government funding.

Raft racing returns to Treasure Coast Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

John Mangan a hotdog-eating contest and hairy back competition. No, really, there’s going to be a hairy back competition. Mangan said so far about six teams have registered for the race.

“We’d like 10 to 15 the first year,” Mangan said. “We hope a lot of people come through.”

The deadline for registering?

“We’re going to take them all the way up to the day of the event,” Mangan said There’ll be rescue crews on the lake during the race. A wildlife expert will inspect and, if needed, clear dangerous creatures from the lake before racers head out.

Rules for raft construction are online. Mangan said it’s pretty simple really — everything goes except for motors and boat hulls.

“Be creative,” he said. “There are things out there you can use.”

TREASURE COAST — A tradition is coming to Tradition. Handmade raft racing is launching at Tradition Square on Sunday, July 3. It’s a return to a Port St. Lucie tradition — the Treasure Coast Raft Race.

John Mangan, co-owner of South Florida Event Management, said the entertainment company was looking to make a splash on the Treasure Coast.

“I said, ‘What’s better than racing on a homemade raft?,’” he said. “We’re bringing back one of the great events of Port St. Lucie.”

Was a time ‘round the ‘70s to ‘90s that folks got together for raft races on the St. Lucie River near St. Lucie West. Indeed— “I raced back in the mid-‘90s,” Mangan said.

His performance in those races?

“Awful,” Mangan said.

But, he had fun, and so did a lot of other folks.

The event will be on Lake Tradition near the Tradition Town Hall, 10799 S.W. Civic Lane. Gates will open at noon and racing will launch at 2 p.m.

“The race could take two to three hours,” Mangan said.

Admission is $5. Some of the proceeds will benefit the Treasure Coast Food Bank.

“Besides the race, there’s going to be an all-day festival,” Mangan said.

That festival is going to have live music, a kids zone, food trucks,

All Aboard Florida officials have repeatedly said the company expects to start a southern leg next year, going from West Palm Beach to Miami. It’s repeatedly claimed it’ll be ready to expand to Orlando the next year.

Durham said that Martin is “accustomed to setbacks,” but is nowhere close to putting a white flag on a pole.

“We’re still plugging away,” he said.

St. Lucie County created a $500,000 fund to combat All Aboard Florida last May. It’s assisted the other Treasure Coast counties in their suits.

average bond issuance from 2009 to 2014 was $29.6 million.

The Martin County Commission filed the federal suit against the transportation department in April last year. It tapped a $1.4 million opposition fund it created — and later expanded — to file the suit against the Department of Transportation. Indian River County set up a $2.7 million fund to oppose All Aboard Florida and filed separate lawsuits.

“The question is, if Martin County doesn’t have legal standing (to challenge the private-activity bonds) who does?,” Durham said.

“Or do you have a federal agency that has the authority to do what it does without accountability.”

In addition to the private-activity bonds, All Aboard Florida has sought up to $1.5 billion in a Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan from the federal government. That would come through the Federal Railway Administration, which is part of the transportation department.

Treasure Coast Wildlife Center raised nearly $4,000

“Because patient care should always come first”

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

TREASURE COAST — In May, the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center held their inaugural Get Wild 4K Poker Walk/Run fundraiser.

As participants walked, ran and hiked newly opened nature trails, they passed check-points where they were given poker cards. At the end of the event, those with the best hand won a rare opportunity to release a rehabilitated animal back into the wild. The winners were Brad Love in the Adult division and Delaney Foster in the Junior division. In addition to providing public access to the Center’s nature trails for the first time, the event raised nearly $4,000 for the wildlife hospital, allowing them to continue to rehabilitate and house sick, injured and orphaned wild animals.

“We were thrilled to unveil the Center’s newly acquired trails to the public and we couldn’t have envisioned the genuine excitement and gratitude from the participants”, said Treasure Coast Wildlife Center Executive Director, Dan Martinelli. “As our vision of expanding the Center is becoming a reality, we look forward to growing this event and developing similar events in the future.”

Winners Brad Love, owner of Ampersand Graphics and Delaney Foster, student at Anderson Middle School were each awarded the opportunity to release a rehabilitated Red Shouldered Hawk back into the wild. It was an exciting spectacle, as the winners

Both hawks were released at Phipps Park over the first weekend in June.

“I am humbled to have won this once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Love. “The Treasure Coast Wildlife Center has been a beloved part of our community for years and it’s easy to see why – the Center gives people the chance to connect with nature and wildlife in a unique way. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of this experience, this is something I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.”

Anglers, be aware – tagged cobia in Florida FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

TREASURE COAST — A cobia tagging project is underway along Florida’s east coast. Scientists with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute are tagging cobia in order to track movement of the fish to learn more about the migration of the Gulf and Atlantic stocks. Researchers are using conventional dart tags and implanted acoustic transmitters to track mature fish.

An array of acoustic receivers along the coast can detect the individual fish when they swim nearby. The movement patterns will provide more information to management to make informed decisions on the stocks and to provide a geographical location of the biological stock boundary. In addition, scientists are collecting genetic samples from tagged fish.

A total of 150 transmitters (50 each in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina) will be used for the one-year study.

“The transmitters, however, will last for up to four years allowing researchers to continue collecting information after the initial report

is complete,” said Jim Whittington, FWRI Assistant Research Scientist.

The research will employ charter boat captains and recreational fishermen to assist with cobia capture, acoustic tag implantation and genetic sample collection. Researchers from NASA/ Kennedy Space Center Ecological Program, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources are assisting in the project.

Cobia is a popular saltwater recreational fishery in the southeastern United States due to its ease of access, brute fighting strength and excellent culinary qualities.

Although it is not illegal, scientists discourage the harvest of tagged cobia. If you catch a tagged cobia (two plastic tags should be visible on the back of the fish, one on each side) record the tag number, fork length, date and general location of the catch.

Release the fish in good condition and report it by calling )888) 8247472. For information on cobia regulations visit MyFWC.com/ fishing, click on “Saltwater Fishing” “Recreational Regulations” and “Cobia.”

Gen Xers must juggle both money and time

f you’re an older member of Generation X – that is, if you were born in the early- tomid-1960s – you may have a lot of “balls in the air.” You are saving for your own retirement – which might not be that far away – while at the same time possibly wanting to help pay for your children’s college education. And you may also be assisting your aging parents in some ways. How can you manage this juggling act?

To begin with, you need to emphasize your retirement. Now that you are likely in, or near, your peak earning years, you should contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. Your plan likely offers you a range of investment options, so you can create a portfolio that’s appropriate for your needs. The money in your 401(k) or similar plan can grow on a tax-deferred basis, and your contributions are typically made with pretax dollars. So, the more you put in, the lower your annual taxable income. You won’t have to pay taxes until you take withdrawals, but if you do withdraw money before you reach 59½, the withdrawals may be subject to a 10 percent IRS penalty.

Even if you’re contributing to a 401(k) or similar plan, you’re probably still eligible to contribute to an IRA. Like a 401(k), a traditional IRA offers tax-deferred growth potential, while a Roth IRA can provide tax-free earnings distributions if you’ve had your account at least five years and don’t take withdrawals until you’re at least 59½.

If you devote most of your investable income to your retirement plans, you may not have much left to help pay for your children’s college education. But that may not be a disaster – after all, they could get scholarships and financial aid. And even if they need to take out student loans, they have a lot more years to pay them back than you have until your retirement. If you can afford to help your children, choose a smart college-savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan, which offers tax-free earnings distributions as long as the money is used exclusively for qualified higher education expenses. (If it’s used for other purposes, you’ll be taxed on it and also could face a penalty.)

How about your elderly parents?

How can you best help them?

Hopefully, they will not require any outright financial assistance from you – but that doesn’t mean you can’t assist them in other

•Have they chosen an executor for their estate?

•Have they thought about how they would pay for any long-term care services they might need, such as a nursing home stay?

It may not be that easy to have these conversations, but they are important – especially if you are going to play an active role in your parents’ plans.

MARTIN COUNTY — There is a good reason why Alzheimer’s disease is called the “Long Goodbye.”

You lose your loved one inch by inch, day by day, with flashes of the person you knew there to remind you of what you’ve lost. I lost my husband to Alzheimer’s and it was truly the cruelest death for a man who helped design the engine system for the Concorde.

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness month and there is still time to participate in the “Cupcakes for Caregivers” fundraiser sponsored by the Council on Aging of Martin County. The goal is to raise money to help pay for needy seniors to attend the Adult Day Program at the Kane Center. The program provides stimulation and socialization for those with health issues and provides relief for the caregivers on whom so much depends.

If you purchase a $35 cupcake online at the Kane Center website, you will donate a half-day of relief care at the Adult Day

The Kane Center is always a place for quality entertainment at a good price. On July 22, William Cintron will perform “Oh What a Night,” a tribute to Frankie Valli.

He will sing songs you love like “Can’t Take My Eyes off of You,” ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Sherry,” and “Walk Like a Man.” Cintron is originally from Brooklyn and now lives in Orlando, where he is semi-retired as a bus driver for Orlando Transit.

He does tributes to Valli, Dean Martin and Engelbert Humperdinck and also sings Doo Wop. Cintron decided on Valli because he saw a lot of tribute artists. Many were very good and he wondered what he could do that not many other guys could.

“There’s a lot of Elvis, but not much Frankie Valli,” he said. “I’ve been doing it since the 1970s. It’s both a tribute and impersonation.

I assume the character. Dean Martin, I impersonate. Valli and Engelbert, I put my own voice in there. Frankie Valli and I have very similar voices, the same kind of high range. Not many guys can hit that range.”

Cintron said that he tells some stories about the songs, songs

that most of the audience know well.

“I go back into the ‘50s, when they were the Four Lovers,” he said. “When I hit one or two of the songs, they say they haven’t heard them in 50 or 60 years.”

Cintron drove a bus in Orlando for 19 years and had one more until retirement.

The music picked up so well that I was able to leave,” he said.

“My wife advised me to go parttime. It’s not too bad. I only work Tuesday-Thursday for 16 hours.

When you’re a performer, the summer is quiet, but last year and this are my best two summers.”

MARTIN COUNTY — What does $10 buy you these days? Perhaps you can get a movie ticket (no drink or popcorn) or two lattes.

If you love the theater, you can buy a membership in the Barn Theatre. That allows you to purchase tickets for the new season now, instead of after Labor Day. Many Barn shows sold out this past season and having the chance to pick your shows and seats now is a good deal for $10.

The season kicks off with a drama, “The Haunting of Hill House,” from Sept. 23-Oct. 9.

The play by F. Andrew Leslie is based on a story by Shirley Jackson that is considered one of the best literary ghost stories of the last century. It tells the story of a house that has been uninhabitable because of reports of supernatural phenomena. When people come to investigate, a crisis of evil begins.

The pace changes Nov. 4-20 with the Phil Olsen comedy, “A Nice Family Gathering.” Dr. Lundeen spent more than 40 years married to a woman he never told he loved. When he dies and comes back as a ghost, he tries to tell her, but his wife can’t see or hear him. Comedy ensues when she invites a date to dinner.

“Alone Together,” by Lawrence Roman, will be presented May 12-28. The comedy is one many can identify with. A couple has raised three sons and sent them out into the world. Their empty nest is disturbed when the three grown sons arrive back home with their families and problems.

The story deals with the parents and their effort to empty the nest-again.

The above shows are part of the Barn season. The final show is a special production that is not part of the season. At 10:29 p.m. on Oct. 29, there will be a shadow cast performance and showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” the cult classic about sweethearts stranded in a storm who end up at the home of eccentric scientist Dr. FrankN-Furter. A shadow cast show means the film will be shown and anyone wanting to participate just shows up.

Jeanette Mazzella, theatrical vice president for the Barn, said that they have been working hard to make the Barn a place that people feel is a real community theater. They are raising funds to improve the parking lot, to make it easier for patrons coming to see shows.

LEGO Club meets at the Peter & Julie Cummings Library from 3 to 4 p.m. LEGO fans 4 and older are welcomed to create with the library’s collection, or take their own.

Jeanette Mazzella Mazzella also noted that there will be a black box production this year, for people who want to give acting a try and may be intimidated by a main stage show. She will also write, direct and produce her popular concert series.

Mazzella urged everyone to think about auditioning for a show.
