Parents Opponents get run over get the by train twice in two days 101 on new education Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — It can feel like having a child in school requires a college degree. Good news the Martin County Schools is having its second Parent University. “We started this last year after the tremendous amount of legislation that came down,” Tracey Miller, executive director of instructional services at the Martin County Schools said. “It was hard for us to understand, so we could only imagine what it was like for parents.” The Florida Legislature enacted more than 40 bills related to education that started taking effect last school year. Many of the changes were about retiring the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and heading to the Florida Standards Assessments. The only remnant of FCAT 2.0 left is the fifth- and eighth-grade science portions. Students these days are taking the Florida Standards Assessment for English language arts, grades 3 to 11, and math, grades 3 to 8. There’s a web site for teach-

File photo Local protests against All Aboard Florida got St. Lucie and Martin counties to create funds to battle the proposed high-speed passenger rail service that would cut a swath through the Treasure Coast, but not stop here. Indian River and Martin counties have filed suits against the federal government for granting All Aboard Florida permission to seek private-activity bonds to fund the project. The Florida Development Finance Corp. agreed to issue the bonds at a contentious meeting in Orlando on Wednesday, Aug. 5.

TREASURE COAST — The All Aboard issues continue and opponents are feeling run over by the ongoing debate. “I’m going to dust myself off and go right back to battle,” Martin County Commissioner John Haddox said. “That’s where we’re at.” On Tuesday, Aug. 4, the Federal Railway Administration issued the final environmental impact
statement. It wasn’t what opponents hoped for. “…the Project is not anticipated to result in cumulative impacts that would be collectively significant and adverse,” the report reads. “With respect to transportation, air quality and economic resources, the Project would have beneficial cumulative impacts.” Then Wednesday, Aug. 5, the Florida Development Finance Corporation’s, FDFC, board gave the nod to issue up to $1.75 billion in hybrid tax-exempt bonds
— called private activity bonds — to build its proposed highspeed rail service from Miami to Orlando. “We’re pleased with the outcome and looking forward to moving ahead with the next steps in the process,” Russell “Rusty” Roberts, vice president of government affairs for the company, said. There are four members on the FDFC board, and one was absent

MARTIN COUNTY — Across the Treasure Coast, Minor Party and No Party Affiliation registrations are up. In 2014, slightly more than 71,000 voters were NPA or minor party members. Today, that number exceeds 75,000. If the math is correct, and the trend coincides with the political temperament of the rest of the country, 3,810 voters in Martin and St. Lucie County have abandoned either the Republican or Democratic parties in favor of something different. Look into it even further and the results are startling. With a 2014 roster of 102,600 Democrats and slightly over 107,000 Republicans compared to today’s voter registration numbers of 99,300 Democrats and roughly 106,000 Republicans, the offset is nearly equal to the rise in minor and NPA regis-

Sailfish Splash triathlon time
Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — As the 5- to 12-year-olds get ready for the fourth annual Sailfish Splash Waterpark Kids Triathlon, Aug. 30, Jerry Kyckelhahn is organizing the second Chasing Caterpillars Triathlon to benefit the Treasure Coast Down Syndrome Awareness Group. The Palm City age-group national triathlon champion and sports author said Chasing Caterpillars is a great place for tri-newbies to get experience at a USA Triathlon sanctioned event. “The Chasing Caterpillars Triathlon is a swimming-pool based triathlon,” he said. “It’s the only swimming-pool based one for adults in the area.” Most Florida triathlons do ocean swims, which are harder because of currents. Plus, some folks just don’t like jumping into the ocean. Marine Corps veteran and triathlon coach Chris Bertorelli did the first Chasing Caterpillars, and has every plan to do the second. “For me it’s because of the charity they give to,” the Tradition man said.
Berorelli’s niece, Roma Comfort, has Down Syndrome. He said nothing he’s done in the Marine Recon or triathlons comes close to matching the courage and tenacity of people with the pervasive developmental disorder. “These kids have challenges, physical challenges and developmental challenges, every day of their lives and they go through it with smiles,” he said. Bertorelli said Chasing Caterpillars is the perfect triathlon for beginners. “With it being a pool swim, it’s a little less intimidating and rookie friendly,” he said. There’s another huge plus to using the swimming pool at Sailfish Splash Waterpark, 931 S.E. Ruhnke St., Stuart, for the triathlon. People will get to cheer triathletes during the event’s three stages: swimming, cycling and running. But the kids come first. “We limit participation to 150,” Todd Foust, special facilities administrator at the Martin County’s parks and recreation department, said. “Usually that sells out. Kids should register early. We have no race day registration.” The parks and recreation depart-

The different ages will run separately. The 5- to 6-year-olds will swim 25 yards, bike a quarter of a mile and also run that distance. The 7- to 8-year-olds will swim 50
yards, bike a mile and run half a mile. The 9- to 10-year-olds will swim 100 yards, bike 2 miles and run half a mile. The seniors, 1112, will swim 150 yards, bike 3 miles and run a mile. Foust said there’ll be lots of

Haddox says battle against All Aboard Florida continues
E
xtremely disappointed but not surprised. That’s my reaction to the recent unanimous decision by three members of the Florida Development Finance Corporation (FDFC) board to authorize $1.75 billion in private-activity bonds for the All Aboard Florida (AAF) project. On Aug. 5, I, along with my fellow Martin County Commissioner Anne Scott, dozens of other state and local elected officials and staff, as well as hundreds of citizens from communities throughout the Treasure Coast, attended an eight-hour FDFC public meeting in Orlando. We shared the room with supporters of the proposed high-speed passenger train that would stretch from Miami to Orlando, slicing through the heart of the Treasure Coast. There were investors, attorneys, consultants, lobbyists, companies that stand to benefit economically, and a busload of people from Miami who were promised free breakfast and lunch but didn’t seem to know why they were even there. Despite our strong and compelling arguments and organized presentation of the facts regarding the multitude of negative impacts that will occur throughout the Treasure Coast if the proposed All Aboard project
John Haddox moves forward, despite our expert studies and commissioned reports we implored the FDFC to review before making any decisions, they simply chose to rubber-stamp the project. Our pleas fell on deaf ears. Their rationale is that the greater economic benefit to South Florida and Orlando is more important than the significant economic harm that will befall Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. The Treasure Coast is less than 10 percent of the population being impacted by this project. To them, we are unfortunate collateral damage. The FDFC chose not to consid-

er the very real, life-threatening safety issues we raised as well as the blatant flaws and deficiencies contained within the just-released Federal Railroad Administration’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The FEIS report was “coincidentally” released the night before the FDFC meeting. At more than 600 pages, no one had time to read it, but the FDFC still went ahead and made their decision without any analysis of what it meant to their decision-making. What we are able to determine in this short time is there doesn’t appear to be much difference between the draft and the final version. Of significance is that 9,500 comments (almost two-thirds of the total comments received in response to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement) came from people who live, work or own property in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River County. County staff and technical experts also submitted data that was overlooked. The FEIS does not alleviate the County’s concerns regarding the environment, the economy, public safety, impacts to marine and auto traffic, cultural and historical sites, rail safety, and our underserved communities. By the very fact that the Treasure Coast is different from our
overly populated neighbors to the south, who are desperate to solve their traffic and congestion problems is now the very reason our beautiful communities are in jeopardy of being destroyed by trains barreling through our small towns at more than a 100 miles an hour. In addition to exploring other legal avenues, part of our attention will now turn to our federal and state governments which up to this point have shown little willingness to assist us in our efforts to protect our people and our communities. The fight, however, does not end with this FDFC bond approval. Martin County is strong in its resolve and unwavering in its will to limit the harm that would be caused to our quality of life, our economy and the safety of our citizens if the All Aboard Florida project proceeds as planned. Citizens should not lose hope. Our battle to protect them continues. John Haddox represents Palm City and Indiantown on the Martin County Board of County Commissioners. He’s been a leading voice against All Aboard Florida, the proposed high-speed passenger rail service that would cut a swath through the Treasure Coast without stopping here.

They still get their T-shirts at the USA Triathlon sanctioned event with an official timer. “It gets competitive, especially when you get up to the 9 to 12 group,” Foust said. The deadline for online registration for the Kids Triathlon is Aug. 24. The Chasing Caterpillars Triathlon, a different upcoming event will take place on Feb. 21. After a 250-meter swim, the triathletes will bike 10 miles and run five kilometers, a tad more than three miles. It’s called a sprint triathlon. Kyckelhahn said the bike ride and run will pass the waterpark several times, giving spectators several chances to rattle the cattle bells. The first Chasing Caterpillars Triathlon was in 2014. It’s named after Kyckelhahn’s book, “Chasing Caterpillars: A Late Life Metamorphosis to Triathlete (And How You Can Do It).” Kyckelhahn graduated from The

The Army veteran let himself go about the time Led Zeppelin was getting big. “My first triathlon was when I was 61 years old,” he said. Kyckelhahn smoked about 50 cigarettes a day most of his adult life. “I didn’t start really working out until I quit smoking at age 47, and slowly got into fitness,” he said. Now he’s preaching a gospel that just about any ambulatory person can become a triathlete. “You can,” he said. “All it takes is the desire and just start.

ELECTIONS from page 3 tration. Something is going on. Martin County Supervisor of Elections Vicki Davis says it’s a growing trend, but one with a hitch. “If a voter is registered NPA, it limits their ballot in a primary election because of Florida’s closed primary state policy.” That means just certain voters get a say in the primary, and primary elections are where candidates make it or break it. Davis says voters switching to minor parties may very well wreak havoc on major party candidates. “Only those voters who are registered members of a political party may vote for respective party candidates for an office in a primary election,” Davis said. She says local voter migration is an indication of a larger issue. “I can tell you it’s happening across the country. I don’t know why.” Curtis Carpenter, a political consultant in Vero Beach has an answer. He says it’s because voters aren’t following in the footsteps of the parties. “The parties are getting more polarizing while the electorate is not. There’s nowhere else for these people to go except to register as an independent or ‘other.’ ” As for why the parties are so
YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS • PALM CITY & TESORO • AUGUST 14, 2015• 11 diametrically opposed, Carpenter is stumped. “Honestly, I’m not sure.” Treasure Coast business owner Jim Buchheit, a self-described Conservative Democrat, has yet to make the switch but understands why others have. “People are tired of the division caused by the current political regime. They’re starving for the truth. I think it’s Americans looking for honest leadership in both parties.” Buchheit says it’s Democrats who have dropped the ball. “I believe in personal responsibility and helping my fellow citizens. There is a difference between help and enabling. The new Democrats lost sight of that.” Reid Friedson, is a political activist and administrator of the Facebook group “Treasure Coast Florida Politics.” He pulls no punches regarding the party swapping. Like Vicki Davis, he recognizes the local shift as a microcosm of a national trend as well. “Diplomatic History shows the US pursues money, resources, and power above democracy. Both parties’ insiders have sold out the grass-roots.” Friedson lays blame on national issues spilling over into local politics.

ABOARD from page 1 for the vote. Gail Rayos, spokeswoman, said in an email response to queries that the passenger rail bond is, by far, the largest in the FDFC’s history. The average bond issuance from 2009 to 2014 was $29.6 million. “Projects that have received FDFC approvals in the past include small manufacturers, health facilities, private, not-forprofit schools and senior living facilities,” she wrote in the email. The FDFC insists that no government on the hook should default on the private-activity bonds. The company has until the end of the year to issue the bonds and still has some regulatory hurdles to clear before doing that. Additionally, the company is looking for an about $1.8 billion Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing loan from the U.S. Department of Transportation. In December, the transportation department gave permission to sell the bonds issued through Florida Development Finance Corporation. The state private-activity bond financing authority delayed making a decision for several months — rescheduling hearings twice as questions swirled about whether some board members are too cozy with the company. Opponents believe that without the private-activity bonds the company would be unable to reach beyond the Miami to West Palm Beach route it plans to start with. Martin and Indian River counties have filed separate suits against the federal government challenging its authority to give permission for the bond sale before an environmental impact statement was finished. Martin created a $1.4 million account to battle, and used some of the fund to hire McDermott Will & Emery, a Washington D.C. law firm, and start legal actions. Stephen Ryan, an attorney at the firm, is also working for Citizens Against Rail Expansion in Florida, a Hobe Sound group opposed to the effort. The day before Martin created
its fund, the Indian River County Commission created a $2.7 million fund. St. Lucie County created a $500,000 fund in May. Michael Durham, Martin’s county attorney, said that legal action has plenty of footing despite the seeming back-to-back setbacks. “The areas that aren’t benefiting from All Aboard Florida, what’s the net loss?,” he said Roberts said that All Aboard realizes that it’s unpopular in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties, and hopes to at least reduce the dislike, if not get some love “We have engaged governments and community leaders on the Treasure Coast, of course, and we’ll continue to engage with TC officials as the train is developed,” he said. “We want to work with Treasure Coast officials as much as possible in a cooperative manner. Especially when we get to that construction phase.” Haddox said he has been talking to Roberts. “I spoke with Rusty (Roberts) yesterday, and I asked him politely, ‘Are you ready to give up?,’” he said. “He politely said, ‘No.’” Construction on the 60,000-square-foot West Palm Beach station started last November. The station is on Quadrille Boulevard, bounded by Datura and Evernia streets. The 60,000-square-foot Fort Lauderdale station was started in October. The other station the company is developing is in Miami. In an exclusive interview earlier this year, Roberts said that Fort Pierce is a likely stop not long after it starts service. He said the planned 32 train trips a day will eventually be divided between express and local service. That is, some trains will go from Miami to Orlando with only a couple stops to keep the trip within three hours. That’s “express.” Some runs will make more stops. That’s “local.” “We might only do one stop on the Treasure Coast, maybe two,” he said. The company aims to run trains between West Palm and Miami next year, and reach Orlando in 2017.

ELECTIONS from page 11 “Many Jews are very disappointed in the Democrats not standing with Israel against Iran and they are starting to abandon the Democratic Party.” He says a lot have registered independent and some are considering the Republican Party for its support of Israel. “I’ve never liked the Republican Party but this deal (with Iran) is incredibly stupid.” Buchheit says that all the political gameplay has made voters rethink their affiliations. “The Democratic party was for the blue collar worker. Now they use the poor and what’s left of the blue collar as pawns to get votes.” Carpenter says the change is
good for democracy, but bad for his business. “From the perspective of being an American voter, I love it. It shows people are paying attention. However, as a political consultant, it makes my job that much harder.” The reasons for the migration are murky and the blame game switches up depending on party affiliation. The common thread however, is that it’s a national trend reflected in local politics. Combine that with a more educated voting public, social media influence and a range of local issues from the Indian River Lagoon to All Aboard Florida and the voter shift is likely to continue both nationally and across the Treasure Coast.

HOMEWORK from page 14 Morgade Library on Mondays and Tuesdays. They’ll be there starting on Sept. 8. The county is seeking a Homework Helpers volunteer coordinator. The job opening is posted at www.manpower.com. The post can be seen through the county’s website, www.martin.fl.us. “It’s posted until filled,” Dick said. “We’re looking for someone who has experience working academically or recreationally with children.” After hiring a coordinator, Homework Helpers will start looking for more volunteers — it has had as many as 10, perhaps more. Dick said that the program could get a facelift after a new coordinator is hired. “We’re going to look at the program again,” Dick said. “It might take on a different look.” Horrell, who is a grandfather, said he liked the idea of helping children learn. The former engineer specializes in helping students with math. “Most of the volunteers are former English teachers,” he said. “I volunteered to do math, and everybody was very happy.” The only downside is getting word out to parents that they can take their children to the library
for his help, Horrell said. “It’s been three or four a month, and it can be busier than that,” he said. In addition to giving students kindergarten to 12th grade oneon-one tutoring, Horrell helps them navigate the library systems’ many online and textural educational and tutoring resources. For example, Horrell likes the online Khan Academy, and the library’s computers have access to it. “It has videos on anything you can think of,” Horrell said. “The videos are helpful, because you can stop them and restart them.” Another thing Horrell does a fair amount of is helping parents get the right help for their children at Cummings. “Hop right in and get some help,” he said. “I’m always upstairs in the ’ room.” The Homework Helpers are at Cummings and Morgade 3 to 5 p.m. In addition to helping with homework, the Helpers have also worked on school projects with students, and even helped some get college applications done. The Robert Morgade Library is at 5851 S.E. Community Drive, Stuart. Its number is (772) 463-3245. Cummings is at 2551 S.W. Matheson Ave., Palm City. The phone is (772) 288-2551.

Palm City student in Tennessee Williams play Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PALM CITY — “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams is one of the most challenging of plays. The four-character play about a Southern belle trying to raise her children under difficult circumstances is a difficult one for an experienced adult cast. On Aug. 15, student actors in the Youth Artists’ Chair, a summer mentoring program at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, will present the play. All of the cast and crew are students in middle or high school. Madeline Gilbert of Palm City a rising senior at South Fork High School, will play Amanda Wingfield, the woman who has been abandoned by her husband and is trying to raise her son Tom, a frustrated poet and daughter Laura, a fragile young woman who collects glass figurines. Gilbert spoke about tackling such a challenging role. “I’ve been talking to Julie Rowe, the educational director at the (Maltz) Conservatory and
Kara Grozan, the student director,” Gilbert said. “Kara said I portray a mother pretty well. I have mother-like qualities. After reading the play, I fell in love with Amanda. When you first read it, she’s portrayed as mean and hurtful. Then you see her as a mother who’s trying to make good choices for her kids.” As she worked on character development, she talked frequently with director Grozan. Then she had to make her own decisions. “There were things I had to fill in as an actor about the father, since he’s not in the show,” she said. “I had to discover what (the author’s) intent was.” Gilbert had not read any Tennessee Williams before she began working on the play. “We did a little background on the life of Tennessee Williams,” she said. “I had never read anything and a lot of the show is autobiography.” While student performers almost always play adults, the parent-child relationships are intense in this show. Gilbert said that that was one of the challenges. “We’re much younger,” she said.

STUART — Singer Taylor Dayne grew up in the Long Island suburbs, studying music in the local schools. After college, she released several dance singles and then caught the eye and ear of executives at Arista records. Legendary record producer Clive Davis signed her to a contract. Her song, “Tell it to My Heart,” charted and her career was on its way. “It was pretty amazing,” the singer said. “It took off and it all began a mad rush. You can’t even imagine it. It broke in Europe and started going Number One throughout the entire world. I was doing two countries a day, stopping to make phone calls, because there were no cell phones then. It was an incredible time. I couldn’t have imagined it.” Dayne went on to have Top Ten hits in three consecutive decades and to sell more than 75 million singles and albums. Eighteen of her singles, including “Love Will Lead You Back,” reached Billboard’s Top Ten. Dayne also had the opportunity to tour with Michael Jackson during his “Bad” tour. “It was the height of anything you saw and knew,” she said. “He was the greatest entertainer. He made the spectacle and insanity. There was brilliance in those tours. It was in Europe and it was huge. It was amazing to watch him and to be part of that.” Dayne also was part of the creation of Elton John and Tim Rice’s Broadway show, “Aida.”

Social Skills children’s program by Jill Vaughan at Blake Library 2:15 to 3 p.m. Some children seem to be socially adept from birth, while others struggle with various challenges of social acceptance.

Many aspects of social development seem to be an innate part of a child’s temperament, but we also know that the environment can play an important part in shaping a child’s social development. Social skills can be taught. This 8-week workshop is geared for girls and boys ages 9-12. Children with special needs are welcome. Reservations Required. Class size limited to 12.

“I remember going in to workshops with Elton and Tim and Disney execs,” she said, “It was painstaking and long. It took so long (to bring it to the stage) that I couldn’t go on to do the musical when it started. I ended up going back.” Dayne did eventually star in “Aida” and said the experience was very different from performing in concert. “You’re playing a character,” she said. “You’re in complete character all the time. You’re not altering your state, the way I do. (In concert,) everything is different for each audience. Touring is an intimate moment with fans. Being in a show is being part of a whole, in character. It’s very different.” Dayne, the mother of two, is passionate about the importance of music education in the schools. “I’m a huge believer in why it’s so important to have music in the public schools system,” she said. “It was very good to me. My teachers changed my world. They gave us the music. In high school, I had a choir instructor, Melinda Edwards. When you had passionate musical teachers, it brought kids together into a
team.” Through the early 2000s, Dayne performed in Europe. “The landscape of the industry changed,” she said. “I had a huge contract in Germany and then there were mergers. It was unheard of when I started. There were a lot of shifts. Now we see the music business as a different model, with downloading, streaming and free music. I am very grateful I can record and tour and creatively still put out music.” Dayne is on tour 100-150 days a year. “One show is never one day,” she said. “I’m on the road, baby.” Her children, she noted, are unimpressed with her success. To them, she is mom. Dayne is a frequent visitor to Florida as her parents live near Boynton Beach. In this show, she’ll perform her latest single, “Dreaming,’ and sing her hits. “They will feel my journey and experience Taylor Dayne,” she said. Taylor Dayne comes to the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, Aug. 22 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 and include admission to Dancin’ in the Streets. Tickets are available at the Lyric box office and are not available for purchase at the gate.
