TREASURE COAST — The Rally For The River & Treasure Coast Waterway Cleanup will be on Saturday, July 23, starting at 8:30 a.m. The Florida Oceanographic Society is hosting the rally and cleanup. It’ll be on the eastern side of the Stuart Causeway, Ocean Boulevard. It’ll start at
8:30 a.m. One things certain—there’ll be a lot of fired up folks there ready to tell the state and federal governments to get it together. Commissioners from Martin and St. Lucie counties headed to Washington D.C. last week for the Lagoon-Gulf Action Day put together by representatives Patrick Murphy and Curt Clawson. The commissioners liked what they were hearing from federal officials. Then Gov. Rick Scott got a “No” from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. On Friday, July 15, FEMA administrator, W. Craig Fugate, sent Scott a letter telling him — therefore the Treasure Coast — there’ll be no federal declaration of emergency over the bluegreen algae filling parts of the St. Lucie and Indian rivers.

Commission barely approves AgTEC in Palm City Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — After a day of quasi-judicial hearing, the County Commission at its July 12 meeting gave Turner Groves Limited Partnership a tense, narrow nod to start transforming the former Sunshine Grove on Martin Highway into a 1,700-acre development with green space. Commissioner Anne Scott was the swing vote approving a modest, speculative development of
about 32,000-squre feet of office space. Not much, but enough to get the planned unit development started before a legal clock ran out. Scott gave Turner Groves a reluctant nod after scolding the company representatives over a Comprehensive Growth Management Plan amendment passed before she was on the commission in 2009. Scott said the company, which proposed the amendment creating the Agriculture Targeted Employment Center, AgTEC, landuse and zoning designation with suggested language, deviously
aligned the legal stars to its favor. In essence they had the upper hand position whether the plan was passed or not. “I’m going to vote for this because I have to for the good of
Martin County — or you’re going to sue us,” she said. Commissioners John Haddox and Doug Smith joined Scott in approving the first seven acres of the proposed commercial, retail and professional development just west of Interstate 95. Haddox was enthusiastic to give his yes. “I see way more benefits than detriments,” he said at the meeting. The proposed project first went before the Martin Commission Commissioner Anne Scott

Pokémon Go frenzy spreads to Palm City Bruno Moore
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
PALM CITY — The jokes about the new Pokemon Go mobile game are plentiful, and so are the opinions. Social Media is in a Pokémon frenzy. Critics liken it to the “Zombie Apocalypse” without the rotting corpses — just adolescents and older folks shuffling around, phones in hand, looking for things that the rest of us can’t comprehend. Palm City is seeing its share at places like Big Slice Pizza on Martin Downs Boulevard, in front of Martin Memorial Health in Martin Downs, a spot on Sunset Trace Circle and many of the parks. It’s like a different world. In fact, it is a different world. Pokémon Go is the first “augmented reality” game that has caused such fervor. Augmented reality is a technology where the gameplay is woven into the real world with the help of a mobile device. In Pokémon Go, the phone or tablet’s camera is used to “see” game pieces, characters and other game elements layered on top of the actual image captured by the camera. And on the Treasure Coast, the Pokémon phenomenon
is reeling in thousands of players. The Pokemon Go! Treasure Coast Florida Facebook page is teetering on 1,000 members. Page administrator Jeff Yale says the game is part of reliving childhood. “Pokémon (is) a staple of almost every 90’s kid’s childhood. For me personally, it’s mostly nostalgia — I’ve always been a fan.” Page says he started the Facebook page a couple of years ago when he first heard about the game’s development. Even then, he says, he recognized what a phenomenon the game would be, and understood that some sort of structure needed to be implemented to deal with its popularity. “I knew that I wanted to be the one shaping this community for the better, with AR (augmented reality) coming into the real world. Without a doubt the obvious problems would be safety, giving us a bad name by defacing property, and overall toxicity.” Tradition isn’t the only Pokemon Go Pokestop, as they’re called. And the popularity-turned-toxicity that Page is concerned about has already been a blip on the screen for Martin County officials. Kevin Abbate, Martin County Parks & Recreation director, says
PokemonGo.com Pokemon Go! Gameplay operates in Augmented Reality. The app uses the device’s GPS location and overlaps the game onto a map of that area. Martin County parks including some in Palm City have seen an uptick in after-hours visitors playing the game, an issue that Parks and Recreation officials say needs to be addressed. the game’s popularity in Martin County has come with some problems. “You’re getting a lot of evening activity (at parks), when the Pokemon are different,” Abbate said. Recently about 100 players just showed up at night at Zeus Park,
at 12044 S.E. Zeus Crescent in Hobe Sound. Neighbors didn’t like that. Then there’s Indian RiverSide Park at 1707 N.E. Indian River Drive, Jensen Beach. It closes at 11 p.m., but that didn’t stop Pokémon catchers.

Investing: A marathon, not a sprint
N
ext week, the 2016 Summer Olympics begin in Rio de Janeiro. One of the most compelling events is the marathon, a 26.2mile endurance contest with roots dating back to ancient Greece. It may be that we’ve kept our interest in the marathon because it can teach us much about life – and it certainly has lessons for investors. In fact, if you were to compare investing to an Olympic sport, it would be much closer to a marathon than a sprint. Here’s why: Long-term perspective — Sprinters are unquestionably great athletes, and they work hard to get better. Yet their events are over with quickly. But marathoners know they have a long way to go before their race is done, so they have to visualize the end point. And successful investors, too, know that investing is a long-term endeavor, and that they must picture their end results – such as a comfortable retirement – to keep themselves motivated. Steady pacing — Sprinters go all out, every second and every stride. But marathoners have
to pace themselves – too many spurts of speed could tire them out and doom their performance. As an investor, you, too, should strive for steady, consistent progress. Rather than attempting to rush success and achieve big gains by chasing after supposedly “hot” stocks – which may already have cooled off by the time you hear about them – try to follow a long-term strategy that emphasizes diversification among many different investments. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market downturns that primarily affect one type of asset, it can’t guarantee success or prevent all losses.) Ability to overcome obstacles — When sprinters stumble or fall, they are finished for the race; there’s simply not enough time to recover, so they typically just stop. But over 26 miles, a marathoner can fall and – providing he or she is not injured – get up again, compete and possibly even win. When you’re investing for the long term, you have time to overcome “mishaps” in the form of market volatility. So instead of dropping out of the “race” and heading to the investment side-
YOUR
Jamie Chapogas lines, stay invested in all types of markets. As you near retirement, and you have less time to recover from market downturns, you may need to adjust your portfolio to lower your risk level – but even then, you don’t need to call it quits as an investor. Proper fueling — Sprinters have to watch what they eat. But world-class marathoners have to be ultra-diligent about their diets,

especially in the period immediately preceding a race. Because they must maximize the oxygen their bodies can use while running, they need a high percentage of their calories to come from carbohydrates, so they “carbo-load” when needed. When you invest, you also need to periodically “refuel” your portfolio so it has the energy and stamina needed to keep you moving forward toward your goals. And that means you must add dollars to those areas of your portfolio that need beefing up. Regular reviews with a financial professional can reveal where these gaps exist. As an investor, you can learn a lot from Olympic marathoners – so put this knowledge to good use. Jamie Chapogas is a financial advisor with Edward Jones, 2900 S.W. Town Center Way in Palm City.

“I am disappointed that the federal state of emergency declaration request has been denied. I will continue calling on the Administration to provide emergency federal assistance and push for individual agencies to provide much-needed resources to our communities impacted by this environmental and economic disaster, and I urge Governor Scott to immediately submit an appeal providing the necessary information to justify an emergency declaration.” Congressman Patrick Murphy Governor Rick Scott’s request for a federal emergency declaration due to Lake Okeechobee discharges. This denial resulted from the state’s failure to demonstrate the need for such a declaration. “Governor Scott’s initial request only sought to point fingers at the federal government and away from the state’s responsibilities.
Patrick Murphy If the Governor saw the same devastation I’ve seen firsthand, he would immediately submit a legitimate request for assistance and finally use Amendment 1 funds as they were intended – to buy additional water storage lands that would provide relief to our waterways,” said Murphy.

governor had 30 days to appeal the decision. Gov. Scott declared a state of emergency in Martin and St. Lucie counties last month. The governor’s declaration applies only to the state. Martin County Commissioner Doug Smith said it’s tempting to play a blame game over the federal government’s refusal to declare a state of emergency, but he sees it as a problem that starts at home. “The discussion was that we, both here in Martin County and at the state level, need to provide more factual documentation to support the request,” he said. “If we have not supplied them with the data and analysis to give them the information (they need), it’s incumbent upon us to get it to them.” Smith is a Republican. St. Lucie Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky, a Democrat, was fierier, but didn’t assign more responsibility for the refusal to either the state or federal governments. He sees fault in both. “I can tell you it’s disheartening that we’re in the middle of a political battle between the state and federal governments and we’re not being represented,” he said.
In the letter, Fugate urged Gov. Scott to work with other federal agencies. “We understand that other Federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, have been working together with the State of Florida on water management efforts which may help address algae blooms in the long term,” he wrote. “We encourage your continued work with those agencies.” One federal agency that’s on the ground is the Small Business Administration. Spokesman Jack Kemp said the agency has set up a Business Recovery Center at the Martin County Fairgrounds, 2616 S.E. Dixie Highway, Stuart. “Any business that’s affected by this can come by and talk to us,” he said. The temporary center is opened weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The SBA is offering businesses affected by the blue-green algae bloom loans for up to $2 million that are 4 percent interest for up to 30 years. Unsecured loans are available for up to $25,000. The center approved loans for $225,000 the first two days it was open. “One critical fact is there is a deadline,” Kemp said. He added, “When people quit coming, we’ll

AGTEC from page 1 in 2009 with plans for 5 million square feet of industrial and research space, along with about 1 million for office and industrial. Additionally, the developer aimed for 200,000 square feet of retail space and about 500 hotel rooms. There was a big road block. The growth management plan, commonly called “the comp plan.” It has firm rules keeping development within urban service boundaries to prevent urban sprawl. In other words, if a proposed development can’t get water — and sometimes sewer — from Stuart or the county now, it isn’t going to happen until every square inch in the urban boundary is developed to justify an expansion. Sunrise Grove — which was wiped out by citrus greening — wasn’t near a Martin County water line or urban service boundary when Turner proposed building there. Turner proposed an amendment to the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan to allow it to create a freestanding urban service boundary under the landuse and zoning designation of Agriculture Targeted Employment Center, AgTEC. Ed Ciampi was a Martin commissioner in 2009. He’s running for the commission against Haddox this year. “We said we weren’t going to run
water and sewer out there, so they said they’d get it from the City of Port St. Lucie,” Ciampi said. Problem solved. Turner didn’t need county water and sewer. It’d get them from Port St. Lucie by running lines over the C-23. The 2009 commission approved the preliminary plan in a 3-2 vote. That approval came with a clock saying that if development didn’t get approved in a specified time, the opportunity for the AgTEC designation would evaporate. At the recent commission meeting, company representatives told the Martin Commission that it secured a preliminary Agreement for Future Water and Wastewater Services with Port St. Lucie to supply water and sewer service to the proposed development. Along with that, the company plans to eventually build a private road that’ll be open to public travel connecting Southwest Village Parkway in Port St. Lucie to Martin Highway by a bridge over the C-23. Martin’s development opposition didn’t like the proposal in 2009. When the now defunct Florida Department of Community signed off on the growth management plan amendment, the Martin County Conservation Alliance and 1000 Friends of Florida took the amendment permitting the proposed development to an administrative hearing. They lost the case. Many of the same opponents

Donna Melzer, who is a former Martin Commission member and is also running against Haddox this year, told the commission that water and sewer are still an issue. “(The developer’s) rights to water and sewer are not secured,” she said. “If you look in the documents, it’s an option.” Documents show Port St. Lucie has committed to supplying the water and sewer service into Martin County for the development

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ active in Palm City PALM CITY — Step carefully. There are plants around town that’ll eat you. “I had no idea we had carnivorous plants in there,” Carolyn Smith, manager of the Peter & Julie Cummings Library, said. Next to the Palm City library is a wetland preserve. Yes, Audrey II is out there and hungry. On Friday, July 29, George Rogers, professor of horticulture and botany at Palm Beach State College, will present “What’s in Our Wetland?” from 10:30 a.m. to noon with tips for surviving a stroll through local wetlands. The presentation will include a tour of the preserve — weather and moisture conditions permitting. “We’ll probably see some carnivorous (plants),” Rogers said. OK, they’re not exactly big enough to eat people like the branching bad guy in “Little Shop of Horrors.” But, Rogers said sundews and bladderworts do eat insects, and there are some by the Cummings. “One of them has sticky tentacles,” Rogers said. “That other one has a little trap that actually sucks insects in.” Not all the wetland plants
“One of them has sticky tentacles. That other one has a little trap that actually sucks insects in.” George Rogers around Martin County are so ferocious. Some of them are party animals. “There’s dahoon holly,” Rogers said. “We’ll talk about how the indigenous people here used to use that to have big tea parties.” The presentation will feature plant photos by John Bradford, along with the tour. Rogers said folks should wear long pants and enclosed shoes that can get dirty. If anyone comes down with a headache, Rogers will have a handy cure: Carolina willow is in the preserve. “Basically it contains aspirin,” Rogers said.

People need to recognize their need to recover from this and have confidence in their ability to recover from this. Businesses need to have working capital when sales are down. That’s what we provide.” At the last regular meeting of the Martin County Commission — Tuesday, July 12 — Deborah Drum, the county’s senior ecologist, reported that unexpectedly low water levels in Lake
Okeechobee and the Army Corps of Engineers’ reduction in releases into the St. Lucie Canal, C-44, are good news to the Treasure Coast. The cyanobacteria in the St. Lucie and Indian rivers is a freshwater variety. “The increase in (water) salinity with the reduction in flows is helping,” Drum said at the meeting. She later added, “Anecdotally I can say, and now the science is supporting it, with reduced flows we are seeing a reductions (in cyanobacteria levels).” However, Drum said that with bacteria dying off, there can be an increase in bloom toxicity for a while. Kemp said businesses that can’t go to the recovery center can call 800-659-2955 for loan information.

“There’s no doubt there are Pokémon out in (Palm City) parks. We want them to have a good time in the parks and follow the rules. Kevin Abatte Martin County Parks ly. It’s bringing people of all types together.” Stauch gives one piece of advice to people playing the game and congregating in the more popular areas across the Treasure Coast —advice that he says will do wonders for some of the players that are nervous in social situations. “If someone sees a lone player out wandering by themselves, go say hi, because they could be too nervous to do it themselves. That’d be great.” For more information on all things Pokémon including event locations and game tips, log onto www.tcpokemon.com.

“We got tagged with like 50 people at one of the pavilions at (2 a.m.),” Abbate said. By the way, Abbate himself loves Pokemon Go. His 6-year-old son and he play. More importantly, Abbate said the game is getting folks visiting parks. The county is looking at ways to tap into the phenomenon. “(Sailfish Splash Water Park), since it’s a designated (Pokémon) gym, we’re thinking about giving 30 percent off if people show us their avatars,” Abbate said. Sailfish Splash is located at 931 S.E. Ruhnke St., Stuart. Abbate said the parks department is also looking at doing some kind of Pokémon afterhours event at Indian Riverside Park. So far, Abbate said, there haven’t been any problems at Palm City parks, such as Jock Leighton, 3755 S.W. Mapp Road. But — “There’s no doubt there are Pokémon out in (Palm City) parks,” he said. While the parks and rec folks put together events for Pokémon Go players, Abbate offered a tip. “We want them to have a good time in the parks and follow the rules,” he said. Carlos Mora, from Fort Pierce, drives to Tradition regularly to play the game in the field between Tradition Town Hall and the Tradition Station office building. He says aside from the nostalgia, it’s breaking down social barriers. “it’s definitely helping us — we go on walks more. We have actual conversations, people talk with other people. It’s genuine.” Some players say it’s actually life-changing for them. Before the game came on the scene, Daniel Stauch was nearly confined to his home because of mental-health issues. Suffering from PTSD and depression has kept him from a lot social interaction — until now. “I have more of an urge to interact with people, which is helping with my social anxieties,” he said. “I’m 35, so I’m roughly 10 years or so above the average player, but all these kids seem super friend-

Working closely with the Veteran’s Administration, they screen for eligible post 9/11 veterans in financial crisis. In 2015, they proudly donated approximately 90 percent of their funds to veterans and their families. In only three years, the Treasure Coast Bonito Blast has become one of the largest fishing tournaments on the Treasure Coast, donating over $100,000 to WWOFSF. According to Mike Durkee, The Bonito Blast has helped us to support hundreds of deserving veterans.” True to its goal, giving everyone in the community a chance to come to-
gether and fish for our Veterans, entry fee remains $100 per boat. That includes 4 people ($25 for each ADD’L person) and dinner for 2 nights. Junior anglers under 12 fish for free. There will be two calcutta’s, largest Dolphin and edible bottom fish. Anglers will also have chance to compete on Real Radio’s Love Doctors, 94.3 and The Wave 97.2 for free entry to the Bonito Blast.

Captain’s meeting, Aug. 19 7p.m. and an award party will be on August 20 at 5 p.m. at Manatee Island Bar & Grill,
Port Salerno. This year’s event will include live bands, dinner, numerous auction items and the drawing for this year’s prize, an EZ-GO Golf cart.

STUART — More than 30 teens and chaperones from Palm City Presbyterian Church’s youth ministry gathered at The Salvation Army’s Family Store on a recent Saturday to volunteer to help. The group cheerfully sorted and tagged clothing donations, washed the store’s truck and windows, vacuumed, and put out new furniture and items on the sales floor. The event was the culmination of a whole week of mission work for the teens. The group had just returned from a mission trip to north Florida and wanted a chance to serve in their local community. “I think it’s important for our young people to realize they are called to serve,” said Kristen McWilliams, Director of Youth Ministry at Palm City Presbyterian. “By serving locally, alongside an organization like The Salvation Army, the students are able to bless others, as well as get blessed themselves.” It was also an educational opportunity. The group learned about the many programs and services The Salvation Army offers both locally and around the world and

Blue-green algae is ‘a survivor’ The Science behind the algae — what you didn’t know. Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — The great twist is that without blue-green algae there probably wouldn’t be anyone around to hate the stuff. On Sunday, July 10, Congress-
man Patrick Murphy held a press conference about the blue-green algae crisis at Central Marina Stuart. Beside the marina was a small bay so thick with bluegreen algae, it looked like one could walk on it. Most of the conference attendees wore painter masks against the stench. In a sense, blue-green algae is the biological ground we walk on and the air we breathe. Edie Widder, senior scientist and CEO at the Ocean Research

Bad News Under the Hood?
Photo by Michelle Gentile A thick sheet of blue-green algae fills a bay of the St. Lucie River. Edie Widder, senior scientist and CEO at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association, said cyanobacteria — blue-green algae — is “a survivor.” It’s been around for billions of years and made the oxygen most every living thing on Earth breathes. We’ll probably take it to Mars when we go to start terraforming. No one on the Treasure Coast is going to celebrate cyanobacteria anytime soon.

& Conservation Association, Fort Pierce, was among the speakers at the press conference. In an interview afterwards, she explained the biology of this thing called blue-green algae — cyanobacteria. Let’s get this out of the way. “It’s not really algae; it’s bacteria,” Widder said. The term “algae” isn’t a really a hard scientific one. It’s more a general term that people use to describe slimy lifeforms in water scientifically categorized separately from each other. The term “cyanobacteria” comes from the Greek words for “blue” — that’s the cyano part — and “staff” — the bacteria part. Under microscopes, that’s what cyanobacteria looks like — little blue staffs. The blue is its pigmentation. The green color is from photosynthe-
sis. Just like tree leaves change colors when they stop photosynthesizing, so does cyanobacteria. In sunlight, the bacteria have an alien, blue-green appearance, because some are photosynthesizing and others aren’t. “They are very, very important to the history of Earth,” Widder said. “They produced the oxygen that allow us to breathe now.” Bacteria is plural. The singular is bacterium. Scientists make that linguistic distinction for their discussions, but in general conversation it’s common to call bacteria “it.” Widder added, “They changed the composition of our atmosphere and produced oxygen that now sustains most life on earth.”

PALM CITY — Many young girls have posters of popstar Justin Bieber. A lot of them would love to attend a concert. Palm City’s Amelie Anstett did them one better. She was one of five youngsters chosen from thousands of entries to dance with Bieber in his recent “Purpose” tour stop in Jacksonville. Amelie, whose name comes from the movie of the same name, attends Hidden Oak Middle School. She studies at the Dance Academy of Stuart and has been dancing since she was 7. She dances ballet, jazz, hiphop and acrobatics. In fact, she started studying at the Dance Academy because it was one of the few schools that had acrobatics. Amelie was following the Bieber tour and saw that children were dancing with him. “I looked up information for the tour and saw how to submit a YouTube video by learning the

AMELIE from page 19 choreography,” she said. The competition was open to youngsters 9-15 and they received thousands of entries. “Amelie was the only one from Florida that got to perform with Justin Bieber in Jacksonville,” proud mom Romina Anstett said. Amelie had only a week from the time she was told that she was in to the concert. They notified her by email. “My mom read the email to me and I thought she was being mean and then she said, ‘Oh, my gosh, it’s really happening,’” Amelie said. “I was in shock.” Some of Bieber’s dancers had choreographed a dance to his song, “Children” and the young dancers were expected to master the steps and send back a YouTube video to make sure they were being done correctly. Amelie had just one week before the June 29 concert. When they got to Jacksonville and Amelie saw Justin Bieber for the first time, she had a pretty typical reaction. “When I first saw him, I was, ‘Wow, I didn’t think it was real,’” she said. “He’s very nice and humble to all the children and acts like a normal person.” Dancing in front of thousands must be more intimidating than dancing in front of a home-town crowd, right?
“I told her it was the opportunity of a lifetime, but just a moment. It’s what she does with it. She wants to be a professional dancer. It’s been overwhelming in a good way. It has opened doors.” Romina Anstett “I felt like I was at home, dancing,” she said. “It was amazing dancing with him. I had to take myself out of the moment so I wouldn’t get jumped up. They helped us stay calm and were very patient.” Amelie will be performing at the Kravis Center July 23 with Sean’s Dance Factory in a production featuring performers from 7-25. She has big plans. For the future. “My next goal is to dance on tour with someone or something bigger,” she said, “I want to inspire other children.” She also has a good head on her shoulders. “School is big to me, too,” she said. “I get straight A’s. I try to stay on top of everything. Even if I am a professional dancer, I want to go to college.” Mom Romina reminds her to stay grounded. “She’s got big dreams,” Romina said.

That, by the way, is called the Great Oxygenation Event, and it happened about 2.3 billion years ago or so. Cyanobacteria were likely the first lifeforms to hit upon photosynthesis — converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. That process releases free oxygen. That free oxygen was toxic to the anaerobic bacteria cyanobacteria shared the planet with billions of years ago, so it probably caused the first global extinction. A widespread extinction of many anaerobic bacteria. See, the Treasure Coast isn’t the first place cyanobacteria caused problems. It’s long a repeat offender. Widder said they’re clever little bacteria well suited to stick around. “This organism is a survivor and has all kinds of interesting adaptations that allow it to survive,” Widder said. Cyanobacteria is a group of nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in water and wet soils. Most do their things quietly and unnoticed and benefit humans in many ways. Indeed, when we go to Mars, we’ll probably take cyanobacteria with us to start terraforming the red planet enough for astronauts to survive there. What’s filling waterways on the Treasure Coast is a freshwater variety, which is why its appearance on Martin County beaches frightens many water experts and advocates. It could have only gotten to beaches by riding streams of freshwater pushed into the Atlantic by the St. Lucie River due to heavy rainfall and the notorious discharges of Lake Okeechobee waters into the St. Lucie Canal, C-44. Remember that thick sheet of blue-green algae on the bay at the marina? There was a hard line between that thick accumulation and water in the St. Lucie River that looked completely free of the cyanobacteria. Looks are deceiving. Widder said that thick sheet came about by one of things that makes cyanobacteria hazardous. “One of the features of this (bacteria) is it has vacuoles that fill with gases,” Widder said. Those gas-filled vacuoles cause the cyanobacteria to float. “It floats up to the surface where it can photosynthesize during the day and it starts to produce carbohydrates that make it heavier and it drops (in the water),” Widder said. The nitrogen, phosphorous and carbon dioxide cyanobacteria tap to make proteins, lipids and other things it needs to survive are deeper in the water it inhabits. As the cyanobacteria gathers those things, it spends the carbohydrates. That causes it to lose

weight and it starts floating again for more sunlight. “It has this cycle that gives it an advantage over other bacteria,” Widder said. That gas filling the vacuoles also allows the cyanobacteria to ride like the wind. Actually, to ride on the wind. When the sun heats and wind blows across a body of water, there’s aerosolization, water vaporizing and spreading. If there’s cyanobacteria in that water, it spreads with the vapor. The cyanobacteria spreads by water currents, too. “It tends to float and accumulate at the surface and get carried into calm bays, and it just accumulates in those pockets,” Widder said. When people are nearby the aerosolization, they inhale the cyanobacteria, along with its microsystins, in the air. Microsystins are what make cyanobacteria toxic. That toxicity, Widder said, is one of cyanobacteria’s survival adaptations. It prevents predation. “People should not be recreating in those waters just because they don’t see the scum on the surface,” Widder said. She explained, “It’s actually more potent than drinking it to take it in through the nasal membrane.” The painter masks those press conference attendees wore do nothing to prevent inhaling the microsystins, although they do reduce gag reflex. The potency of inhaling cyanobacteria’s toxins gets into an area of scientific uncertainty. Widder said there’s just not enough research dollars put into studying and monitoring cyanobacteria. “People are so distressed by this (lack of information) and they’re confused,” Widder said. “Part of that is we know so little about this beast.” What is known is that when cyanobacteria overpopulate, it depletes the food and most dies off. “In a normal, healthy system, that’s what would happen,” Widder said. There’s a problem on the Treasure Coast however. Humans are feeding the cyanobacteria more of the nitrogen and phosphorus it craves through agricultural and development runoff. “(Food depletion is) no longer the limiting factor that keeps them in check,” Widder said.

he most frustrating and paralyzing shot in golf is the all-too-familiar “shank.” Armed with the proper knowledge, the player will have no problem correcting this shot pattern, Let’s first identify the cause, and then this will lead to a better and quicker understanding when we later address the Kure. A shank is simply caused by the club returning to the ball on an outside swing path, 90 percent of the time from on outside to inside, causing the “sweet spot” to return approximately 1 1/2 inches outside the ball so the hosel strikes the ball instead of the clubface. Now, here is where many people are misled. Because the ball goes severely to the right, they assume that they left the face open or led with the hosel to make it go right. Not true. The ball went right because you simply hit the ball with the hosel, a.k.a. the shaft, and because of the shape of the rounded hosel, the ball goes violently to the right. Here is the simple Kure for the shank. Strike 20 to 30 balls with an object such as a rake or another club shaft (we use a two-byfour board at our Academy), just

year on the parking lot. They are trying to see if the work can be done for approximately $20,000. “We’re focusing on the parking lot because it has deteriorated and makes parking more difficult,” Beckstead said. “The stripes keep disappearing and it’s more difficult for people with walkers. It has to be our top priority and it’s very expensive.” The air conditioners are also a priority because if they don’t work, shows have to be canceled. One went out during the season’s final production this season, “The Convertible Girl.” Each air conditioner costs $12,000. The needed work comes as the Barn celebrates a very successful season and prepares for a new one. “The Barn has been recognized as the best community theater in Martin County and has worked hard to present only the highest quality productions,” Beckstead said. This season, the Barn sold out more than 60 performances, with
43 sold out dates in a row. Season ticket sales for the upcoming season have improved, and Beckstead expects overall ticket sales to grow, as well. “We’ve had a great year,” she said. “We’ve got to take care of our patrons and make it as comfortable for them as possible. Our patrons keep us going and keeping them happy is our goal. We’ve kept them happy with our shows, but we need to keep facilities up.” In order to make the needed capital improvements and continue to maintain a healthy cash reserve, the Barn has launched a capital campaign. Those wishing to donate can visit the website www.barn-theatre.com and hit the “Make a Donation” button. People can also call the box office at (772) 287-4884 or mail a check to the Barn Theatre, 2400 S.E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart 34996.

all remember. Set during World War II, it deals with an American ex-pat who must choose between his love for a woman or helping her Resistance-fighter husband escape. “An American in Paris,” inspired by the George Gershwin piece, is a 1951 gem with Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and Oscar Levant. It was directed by Vincente Minnelli with a script by Alan J. Lerner. The music is by George Gershwin, the lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It has songs like “I Got Rhythm” and “Our Love is Here to Stay.” There is a story, but it doesn’t really matter because it has the music and the dancing and Paris. Kia Fontaine, the Lyric’s executive director, spoke about the additions. “The Lyric frequently adds shows to the season, so pleased stay tuned and if you have not become a member, please consider supporting the Lyric and becoming a member now,” she said. “Membership is the fast pass to great seats and more.” The Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W.

There is No Need to Fear Losing Your Independence… A Walk-In Tub May Be the Key to Your Freedom
Baby Boomers Are Worried for Their Parents!
The study also found that Baby Boomer children of elders could end up feeling helpless when faced with the choice of moving their parents out of home. The study found that 82% of the children fear their parents will be mistreated in a nursing home and 89% fear their parents will end up becoming depressed. It is obvious that seniors and their families are determined to have them remaining to live at home. So what is standing in the way?
Falling Is a Huge Fear for Aging Seniors…
There is one place in the house that tends to be the most dangerous to fall prone seniors, the bathroom. Modern bathrooms, with high toilets and bathtub walls can pose a significant issue to seniors with mobility issues. Luckily there are options to help prevent these serious issues, and therefore prevent the falls that eventually lead seniors to have to leave their house. A walk-in bathtub is that solution.
There Is An Easier Way
Walk-In tubs are one of the safest solutions to the issue of having to climb into and sit down in a normal “floor-height” tub. The convenience is un precedented. There are many types of walkin bathtubs on the market right now and it is very important that you pick one to suit all of your needs. The last thing you want to do is pay a contractor to come to your house and see your bathroom, just to tell you that your new tub won’t fit!

The fear of falling can be an all-too-real reality for some seniors. And once you’ve fallen once, your chances of it happening again greatly increases. The causes of senior falls and the injuries that happen from them can range from health problems to environmental factors. *http://www.marketingcharts.com/demographics-and-audiences/boomers-and-older/ seniors-fear-loss-of-independence-nursing-homes-more-than-death-2343/

When the EAR Foundation and Clarity released their study called “Aging in Place in America”, the findings were quite striking. The study was aimed at examining the attitudes and anxieties of the nation’s elderly population. What the study came to find was that seniors are fearful of having to leave their homes. In fact, losing their independence is a larger fear than dying. This fear stems from a loss of connection to the home and environment that they have built over their life. It is clear that moving into a nursing home could have the detrimental effect of creating a greater distance between them and their loved ones, including children, other family, and friends. The study found that 89% of seniors want to age in place, or grow older without having to move from their homes, and more than half are scared with their ability to take care of themselves at home.

HUMANE SOCIETY
Pet of the week
I am a beauty of velvety soft grey and apricot fur with gorgeous green eyes. At 3 years old, I am an 11 lb. love muffin who adores affection and will tell you so while purring sweet nothings in your ear. For 25 years, the Fisher House program has provided a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. The homes provide temporary free lodging so families can be close to their loved ones during a medical crisis, allowing them to focus on wh what’s important – the healing process.
Killian
AJ I am a fun-loving, people-loving and affectionate 61 lb. chap. Not only am I a good boy who adores attention but also I’ll be right by your side waiting for the chance to become your loving companion and best friend.
