PALM CITY — It was starting to feel a bit too much like Noah’s Ark at the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.

“We had animals in crates in the hallway,” Candice Veach, director of operations, said.

Workers were having to get to the shelter at 5:30 a.m. to care for the volume of animals. So, come Monday, Aug. 18— “I came in and said, ‘We need to do something about this,” Veach said. “We can’t have (animals in

crates) in the hallway,’” The society went on a social media blitzkrieg offering 80 to 87.5 percent waivers on adoption fees until the end of September. The fee for adopting dogs is normally $125. That was waived to $25.

The usual fee for cats is $40.

That’s now $5.

It’s working; people are showing up and adopting.

Although Randell Solomon and Christin Selfridge have pets at their St. Lucie West home, they were at the society’s 100 S.W. Leighton Farm Ave., Palm

TREASURE COAST — State economic leaders gathered at Indian River State College Chastain Campus, Stuart, for the inaugural Martin County Economic Summit on Wednesday, Aug. 20. Andrew Corty, president and publisher of Florida Trend said a recent headline in his magazine sums up recent

economic news in the Sunshine State.

“The headline is, ‘Florida is Back,’” he said. “That’s our view after the recession. We have shaken off the recession.”

The Great Recession Corty was speaking about is officially counted as being December 2007 to June 2009, but the nation had a painfully stagnant recovery that suppressed employment. Florida was especial-

Equestrian a world champion a really rough couple of years.

Going into my last youth worlds, I didn’t have high expectations, even though I was hopeful. We went into the prelims and the first round was beautiful.

“I had to wait a couple of days to do my last run and make a name for myself. I knew, when I got out of the ring, I had a top three. Every jump was perfect. It was such an amazing feeling to be in the top three with my best friends on the circuit. We were all winners. I was so immensely happy. I never expected to leave Oklahoma as World Champion.

I was so proud of my horse and myself. Whatever we do from here on out is a bonus.”

Whitehead is particularly proud of her horse, who comes from champions. His sire was Sky’s Blue Boy, who sired hundreds of world champions. Now, Whitehead noted, there’s another one.

Lindsey Whitehead is not the only family member to compete on the horse. Her mother, Mary, also competes on Sky’s Blue Sequel in the amateur division.

PALM CITY — When you call Lindsey Whitehead of Stuart for an interview, she’s likely to be on a horse. The 19-year-old, who trains at Cindy Reddish Quarter Horses in Palm City, has just returned from the American Quarter Horse Youth Association World Championships in Oklahoma City with a new title: world champion. She won that honor in the working hunter division atop her horse, Sky’s Blue Sequel, and had top 10 finishes in other events, as well.

The South Fork High School graduate is attending Indian River State College and studying psychology. This was her last youth competition, but she will continue to compete as an adult in the amateur division. She still has not completely taken in what she and her horse, which she calls Simon, have accomplished.

Only the 20-pound trophy is tangible proof.

“Frankly, it hasn’t sunk in all the way,” she said. “We’ve had

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The same type of bacteria that has been plaguing the Indian River Lagoon for the past few years has been responsible for similar outbreaks in water supplies across the nation, and the outbreaks may be regular occurrences from here on out, researchers say.

Lake Erie was hit hard in early August by a harmful algal bloom, fueled by the bacteria, microcystin. Toledo, Ohio, residents were issued a “do-not-drink” water advisory and are still facing problems from the lake.

The problems facing areas like northeast Ohio and the Treasure Coast are mostly due in large part to nutrient pollution that results from a number of causes.

Increased development, fertilizers, stormwater runoff and septic tanks are the biggest culprits, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oceanographer Richard Stumpf.

Rainfall, water temperatures, and, for the Indian River Lagoon, Lake Okeechobee discharges play big roles, too.

It’s difficult to suggest that the pollution problems are getting more common nationwide, but Stumpf said that’s the case for many places.

“There aren’t coordinated monitoring systems in place to exactly say whether it’s increasing everywhere. I’ll say this, many places are getting worse, and others, we just don’t know … we should know what’s getting better or worse, but there’s no organized way to ap-

proach it. They have mandates to study other things but not algal blooms,” Stumpf, NOAA’s head harmful algal bloom forecaster, said.

NOAA does not have a forecasting system in place in Florida, but Stumpf said there may be one made in the future because of the need to keep an eye on areas with a lot of development, like Tradition.

“If you’re in an area that is being developed, and, if you change from scrub land to lawns, you’re going to have some issues — especially with the sand and limestone down in that area,” Stumpf said.

“Ultimately, it involves managing the nutrient loads.”

In residential areas, the biggest culprit is sewage, and the biggest pollutant in agricultural areas is fertilizer, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute scientist Brian Lapointe said.

“With more and more people moving to the coasts, we’re seeing more problems. Both the frequency of the events and the size of the blooms are both increasing,” he said. “This may be the new norm.”

St. Johns River Water Management District and Harbor Branch monitors the local water for blooms, but that’s reactive thinking, Lapointe said.

“Monitoring alone doesn’t stop anything. You have to reduce the nutrients to stop the blooms … we’ve been monitoring for decades.”

If more municipal sewers were used in homes, rather than septic tanks, the future would be a lot brighter — or clearer, for the water. The septic tank problem is

“Just taking a look,” Selfridge insisted.

Uh huh. Buttercup, a shorthaired domestic cat, and other kitties seemed to be getting more than a window-shopping look from Randell and Selfridge.

During summer months, there’s always an increase in the number of cats at the shelter. Cats are polyestrous in Florida’s subtropical climate, but still tend to have more intense estrous cycles as days lengthen. In other words, summer is kitten season. However, Veach said that intakes haven’t been higher than usual this summer. She said for inexplicable reasons adoptions had dropped off dramatically.

“We ended up with over 140 animals (for adoption),” Veach said.

Normally the shelter has about 90 animals ready for adoption.

Then the shelter launched its aggressive adoption efforts. In the six days before Your Voice News & Views visited, the society found families for 139 animals. But.

Back to school with the 4Cs Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

MARTIN COUNTY — As students head back to school for the three Rs, some make a stop

by The 4Cs first. There they get clothes and books that’ll help further their educations.

“It’s back to school time, so it’s been crazy here,” Gigi Suntum, executive director, said.

On Wednesday, Aug. 13, the charity had 130 shoppers in five hours. Shoppers are low-income parents who receive vouchers from referring agencies that let them get six articles of clothing for each child in their families.

Twelve articles for teenaged girls, because of the large volume of donations the not-for-profit gets for them. Additionally, parents can get new underwear and socks, along with vouchers for school shoes at Walmart.

“We are able to give out in a year over 30,000 pieces of clothing,” Suntum said. “We have 5,000 child visits to our store (annually).”

When a parent goes in for, say, three children, whether they’re present or not, that’s counted as three child visits. Families can get up to four vouchers per child a year.

Pat and John Reynolds started the children’s clothing charity back in 1997. The couple who’d raised seven children were retired and lived at the Monarch Country Club at the time. The Reynolds saw that there was a need in

Reynolds — and friends — raised donations for and gave more than 2,000 children clothes they could

proudly wear to school.

John died in 2010. Pat moved to northeast Florida afterward.

Suntum, who lives in Palm City, said that while The 4Cs office, which is called a store, is located in Stuart, the charity keeps strong roots on the western side of the St. Lucie River’s South Fork. She said many, likely most, of the volunteers and board members hail from Palm City. Among the volunteers are Judy Buschmann and Cindy Doney.

“I like how it empowers all the children in Martin County to help the children in Martin County,” Doney said.

The 4Cs, which means Caring Children Clothing Children, has collection bins at 11 schools, including Palm City, Betsey Creek and Citrus Grove elementary, and Hidden Oaks Middle, schools.

“We have a partnership with the (Martin County School District),” Suntum said.

Buschmann said she likes how volunteering at The 4Cs lets her get close to the people she’s helping.

“When you see the people who come in here,” she said.

Buschmann’s voice trailed off.

She shook her head in empathy.

The charity collects only clothes for infants to 18-year-olds. Suntum said adult and some of the children’s clothing the charity gets is passed along to Gulfstream Goodwill Industries.

“We don’t give clothes away to parents, just kids,” she said. “Our

LAGOON from page 4 worse in the northern counties — Indian River, Brevard and Volusia, Lapointe said.

“We have septic tanks galore. It’s kind of a complicated process to extend sewer lines and replace septic tanks … but it was supposed to happen in the early ‘90s,” Lapointe said, noting that septic tank companies lobbied to keep everything status quo. “It made it easier to develop quickly,” he said.

Port St. Lucie officials were among the only ones along the coast to get it right, Lapointe said.

“Port St. Lucie did well and developed a central sewage system.

It was actually cheaper,” he said.

“They knew (the city) was going to grow rapidly. If development back then had been all septic tanks, we’d be a lot worse off.

“Our studies clearly show the southern Indian River Lagoon is one of the cleanest in the area,” Lapointe said.

More good news for the lagoon and those who use it for recreation is that The South Florida Water Management District awarded a contract to begin construction on a spillway that will help capture, store and clean local stormwater runoff before it reaches the St. Lucie River and estuary.

The project is the first part of a $60 million state-funded project to reduce the nutrient pollution from Lake Okeechobee that enters the southern portion of the St. Lucie River and Estuary through the C-44 canal, which runs through Martin County.

Later phases of the project include a stormwater treatment facility — starting in October and expected to be completed in 2017 — and a pump station to move water into the reservoir, according to South Florida Water Management District spokesman Randy Smith.

Despite the proposed changes, Lapointe said he’s not sure things

are going to get much better.

“I’m not sure we’re on the right track yet. We haven’t significantly changed how we do things. If the conditions are right, we could get another superbloom, like in 2011.”

The last superbloom killed 135 manatees, 300 pelicans, 76 dolphins and about 60 percent of the total seagrass — worth up to a half-billion dollars, based on how much the sea grass contributes to the local economy, according the St. Johns River Water Management District.

In 2011, a cold drought was ended by a long rainy period that brought on Lake Okeechobee discharges. That, along with the nutrients and algae culminated into the perfect storm, Lapointe said.

The best thing a person to do to help prevent another disaster like 2011 is to become educated, Lapointe said.

“If people really want to be a part of the solution, there are dry composting toilets … it keeps the sewage out the water,” he said. “But, that’s a big cultural thing.

“It’s important to become educated. The more people get educated and talk to their politicians about reducing the pollution, the better.

It will chip away at the problem,” he said.

“That may involve some costs. If that’s what it takes, then it has to happen. That’s what you have to pay to live in paradise.”

mission is to provide children with clothing appropriate for school.”

A few years ago The 4Cs got into the literacy business, too. Pretty much by accident, or inspiration.

“People started donating books,” Suntum said. “Now this is a big part of what we do.”

Every voucher entitles a family to two books for the recipient children. However, back around 2007, another Palm City volunteer, Betty Mulligan, discovered that a girl in the fourth grade couldn’t read many of the books in The 4Cs store.

“The mom said, ‘Will you teach my child to read?’“ Suntrum said. “Betty, being the former teacher she is, said, ‘Yes.’“

Staff photographer Patrick McCallister

Now The 4Cs has about 75 trained volunteers going to five schools regularly helping more than 200 children with reading. It’s called the Reading on Wheels program.

Suntum said the charity always needs clothing and financial donations, and volunteers. Its budget is about $200,000 a year. There are two employees, Suntum and a part-time worker. Volunteers are critical for receiving, washing and displaying clothing.

“The number of people using our service the last few years has stayed steady,” Suntum said.

Alexis Hart of Port St. Lucie all had top 10 finishes in different events. Their horse also board at Reddish’s stable.

Reddish hopes that Whitehead continues to compete.

While Whitehead plans a career as a clinical psychologist who competes, riding is Reddish’s life.

MARTIN COUNTY -- The fourth annual Dancing with the Martin Stars event is sure to be the biggest one yet. When the music starts at 7 p.m. on Sept. 13, more eyes will be watching the local stars than ever before. This year’s attendees will have the opportunity to watch the event from three locations.

The main event, along with a live stream viewing, will take place at the StarStruck Theatre. The competition will also be live streamed at Flagler Place. “Dancing with the Martin Stars has sold out quickly the past three years, so it was imperative that we made more viewing locations available,” said Scott Berry, Martin County Healthy Start Coalition executive director.

“This is the first time an event of this nature has been live streamed in Martin County.”

Six Martin County dancers have been practicing with their professional dance partners for the Martin County Healthy Start Coalition’s fourth annual event.

This year’s dancers include: Patty Morris, the district teacher of the year for the Martin County School District, with Craig Galvin; Tara Zweben, community outreach coordinator for Zweben Law Group, and Travis Scott; Rachel Terlizzi, coordinator of Community Health Improvement for Martin Health Systems, with Bob Murray; “Shipper Pete” Morello, the owner of UPS packing stores, with Thany Lim; Kenan Siegel, Lyric Theatre board member and Pine School board member, and Marianela Tobar; Martin County Sheriff William Snyder with Emily Powers.

Dancers will not only have to dedicate their time to learning

their dance routines. They are also faced with the challenge of raising more money than their competitors. The dancer with the highest combined fundraising amount and overall dance score will be crowned the Dancing with the Martin Stars winner. There are several ways to donate to both the stars and the event. These include donating via Healthy Start’s website, sponsorships, and purchasing tickets to the show.

Star dancer Tara Zweben has been practicing the Swing dance with professional partner Travis Scott. A friend of hers participated in the past and told Zweben it changed her life.

“When I was approached to join this year’s group of dancers, I knew the time was right,” Zweben said. “As a mother, the mission of Healthy Start is one I fully support.”

Guests at the two live stream locations will be able to see their favorite star on the big screen while still being able to walk around and mingle. Tickets for the main event are $125. Viewing the event at StarStruck will cost $75 and includes two drinks, food and entrance into the after party. The live stream event at Flagler Place is $35 and tickets include food and a cash bar.

“We hope that providing guests with live stream viewing options and a range of prices will allow for more people to enjoy the popular, local event,” Berry said.

PALM CITY — Casey Perez didn’t celebrate his 13th birthday. If he had, the avid skateboarder would likely have spent time with his friends at a local skate park. Instead he spent it at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach suffering, according to family reports, from transverse myelitis.

“It’s a very rare disease he got,” his father, Cicilio Perez, said. “It attacked his immune system as well as his spine.”

Through palpable emotions and frequent pauses to regain his composure, Perez said during a phone interview that Casey complained one night about not being able to move his arm. That was in late July. He took the lad to Martin Medical Center in Stuart. Doctors there, Perez said, couldn’t

SUMMIT from page 1 ly hard hit for several reasons.

From 2008 to 2013, Florida’s unemployment was higher than the nation’s. On average, the Treasure Coast’s unemployment was higher than the state’s.

On Friday, Aug. 15, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity released its latest monthly employment report. St. Lucie County checked in with an 8.7 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the month of July, the state’s eighth highest.

Martin came in with a not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 6.8 percent. It ranked 30 out of the state’s 67 counties. The state had a 6.2 percent seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in July, unchanged from June. The nation went from a 6.1 percent seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June to 6.2 percent in July.

The Martin County Business Development Board sponsored the summit. It drew a Who’s Who of Florida’s economic-development leaders: Gary Swoope, the state’s secretary of commerce and president/CEO of Enterprise Florida; Melissa Medley, chief marketing officer of Enterprise Florida, Jesee Panuccio, executive director of the Department of Economic Opportunity, and Chris Hart, president and CEO of

Corty said the state’s economic rebound seems to largely be firmest in parts south and heading north. He said the Treasure Coast is poised to take advantage of the recovery, because of its placement between Orlando and Miami “Florida is back, but it’s not entirely evenly distributed,” Corty said.

Corty said Florida has many obsolete stereotypes yet to shed, but more and more businesses are seeing it as the future.

“We’re not as ‘old’ a state as people have historically taken us,” Corty said.

Reich

He noted that the population of those 19 and younger is now equal to the population of those 65 and older.

An issue Corty said the state needs to address is puffing up its so-called “middle-skilled” workforce. He said a Florida yacht builder recently told him that he needs workers, but can’t find them.

“There’s a huge need for skilled training throughout the state,” Corty said.

Panuccio said Florida has been a model of economic rebound. He said the state’s job growth rate equaled or exceeded nation for

the last two years.

“It is making news and headlines around the nation,” he said.

Later he added, “This isn’t just a natural recovery. There’s something else going on in Florida.”

Panuccio said that there’s a newfound business optimism in the Sunshine State and that the state government has made good decisions to urge it, including reducing taxes and regulations, and investing about $600 million into the state’s ports.

Panuccio said that while the state is in a strong economic

Maria Steed said she is looking forward to the support that she and her husband will get as dancers, to help with projects at the 4Cs.

problem persisted.

“He came back home; he laid down for 45 minutes,” Perez said.

“He shouted, ‘Dad, Dad, I can’t move.’ I picked him up and took him to St. Mary’s.”

By then the athletic lad who frequented the skate park at Jock Leighton Park was in critical condition and needed mechanical assistance to breath. Perez said for several hours things were hairy.

Doctors were at times unsure if they could keep Casey alive.

Brad Highwood said transverse myelitis typically hits fast with no warning. The Port St. Lucie man with the disease works at the Goodwill Retail Store in Palm City. The former Army paratrooper has been a wheelchair user for almost 15 years, because of transverse myelitis. On New Year’s Eve in 1999, he was watching television wondering if the feared Y2K bug would really turn off modern life as many predicted would happen when the calendars turned to 2000. After midnight, the lights were still on.

All seemed well to Highwood.

“I went to get up to go to the bathroom and couldn’t walk,” he said. “That was it.”

Doctors were baffled.

“I went through 12, 13 hours of MRI,” Highwood said. “A couple spinal taps.”

Doctors eventually diagnosed Highwood with transverse myelitis. Similarly to multiple sclerosis, the disease hits in many different ways, and people will sometimes lose then regain some functions.

Joseph “Joe” Stiburek said he’s saddened that he didn’t get to start at Hidden Oaks Middle School together with Casey this year.

“I go get a few of my buddies to see him at the hospital as often as I can,” he said. “I miss him a lot. I wish he was here.”

His mother, Margie Stiburek, said it became quickly apparent that Perez, a single father, was overwhelmed with trying to care for a son at the hospital while attending to his two younger children at home. Perez said he works in construction, but hasn’t been able to find good paying jobs for a long time. He’s now working as a day laborer for about $50 a day, he said.

Stiburek is organizing fundraisers for the Perez family. She

www.YourVoiceWeekly.com created a www.gofundme.com page for Casey, set up collection jars around town, and is selling bracelets that cite Psalms 91:1-2.

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.’”

So far, Stiburek said, the community has given the family about $2,500, along with other help. Stiburek said she’s sharing responsibility for tapping the donated money with Perez, to help assure donors that it’s being used wisely.

“When you do these fundraisers, you get what you get,” she said.

“That money is not forever.”

Stiburek said she’s organizing fundraising events, but none are ready to be announced. Among them are a church car wash, spaghetti dinner, art raffle and others.

Highwood said that when Casey is out of the hospital his patience and resolve will be tested many times over. He had words for the youth.

“Never give up hope, but don’t spend the rest of your life trying to get what you used to have and not live your life with what you have,” he said.

Highwood said that since transverse myelitis struck him, he’s coached little league baseball, regularly golfed, and goes camping. Additionally, he took up photography and is working to create support groups for those with the disease.

“You adapt,” Highwood said. “I do everything I used to do, but differently.”

Joe said his friend’s illness has made him think about his life and health. He’s not resisting his mother’s nutritional advice as much as before, the lad said.

“Send prayers to Casey,” the 12-year-old said. “Think about life. Think about that you have it better than some people in the hospital.”

Perez said these days he only has one prayer left in him.

“I praise God every night I still have (Casey),” he said.

Casey couldn’t be interviewed, because of a tracheotomy.

To help Casey and the Perez family, visit www.gofundme.com/ c97o4g. Be aware that there are painful images of Casey at the hospital at the site.

SUMMIT from page 16 rebound, it’s up to every community to tap it effectively.

“Everything we’re doing at the state level can be replicated on the local level,” he said.

Don Delaney, founder and president of Hobe Sound’s Strategic Development Initiatives, challenged Panuccio about whether policies coming out of Tallahassee have been helping the Treasure Coast economy. He said that pollution of the Indian River Lagoon threatens the local economy, and loosening environmental regulations seems to add to the damage. Panuccio said that Gov. Rick Scott and members of the Florida Legislature haven’t lifted regulations without careful consideration.

“I think most people would say

the state is growing well and we’re being smart about the environment,” he said.

At the meeting, former Martin County Commissioner Ed Ciampi, Palm City, said the Treasure Coast’s greatest economic weakness is human capital flight, the loss of talented youths to other job markets. He said without young adults staying, the local economy can only have crimped growth. The only way to keep them around, he predicted, was attracting more large employers with upwardly mobile jobs.

“What Martin County is best at exporting is our talented young people,” Ciampi said. He added, “My daughter graduated Martin County High School. Every single person didn’t ask, ‘What are you planning on doing?’ They all asked, ‘Where are you planning on going?’“

Here at The Brennity at Tradition, you can continue living the life you’ve worked so hard for, on your own terms. Enjoy the freedom to participate in as many events and activities as you’d like, or spend your days in leisure. The choice is yours at our beautiful community.

LABOR DAY The History Of Labor Day

Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and athletic events.

Until Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, laborers who chose to participate in parades had to forfeit a day’s wages. Labor Day, an annual celebration of workers and their achievements, originated during one of American labor history’s most dismal chapters.

In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the average American worked 12-hour days and sevenday weeks in order to eke out a basic living.

Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks.

As manufacturing increasingly supplanted agriculture as the wellspring of American employment, labor unions, which had first appeared in the late 18th century, grew more prominent and vocal. They began organizing strikes and rallies to protest poor conditions

and compel employers to renegotiate hours and pay. Many of these events turned violent during this period, including the infamous Haymarket Riot of 1886, in which several Chicago policemen and workers were killed.

Others gave rise to longstanding traditions: On September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to march from City Hall to Union Square in New York City, holding the first Labor Day parade in U.S. history. The idea of a “workingmen’s holiday,” celebrated on the first Monday in September, caught on in other industrial centers across the country, and many states passed legislation recognizing it.

Congress would not legalize the holiday until 12 years later, when a watershed moment in American labor history brought workers’ rights squarely into the public’s view. On May 11, 1894, employees of the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago went on strike to protest wage cuts and the firing of union representatives. On June 26, the American Railroad Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, called for a boycott of all Pullman railway

cars, crippling railroad traffic nationwide.

To break the strike, the federal government dispatched troops to Chicago, unleashing a wave of riots that resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen workers. In the wake of this massive unrest and in an attempt to repair ties with American workers, Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

More than a century later, the true founder of Labor Day has yet to be identified. Many credit Peter J. McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, while others have suggested that Matthew Maguire, a secretary of the Central Labor Union, first proposed the holiday.

Labor Day is still celebrated in cities and towns across the United States with parades, picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays and other public gatherings. For many Americans, particularly children and young adults, it represents the end of the summer and the start of the backto-school season.

Artist encourages dialogue about arts Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

STUART — Kelly Arnold has taught art for more than two decades. Last year, two of her students mentioned to her that they were not getting art history in school. Arnold began to think of ways to bring art history and contemporary trends to her students and anyone interested in the art world. In May 2013, she began the Art Enrichment Club, open to anyone with an interest in art. The free club meets once a month, on Saturday afternoons, at the Hoke Library in Jensen Beach.

“I started the club as a way to enrich the lives of my students and keep us all aware of what is going on in the art community today. The art world is changing as fast as the computer and technology world. We have an open format for the meeting so that anyone can change the direction of the conversation at any time.”

There is almost no topic that is off-limits and an emphasis is made on taking the conversation positive. Members are encouraged to share their own art development and work for support and to support others. The discussion may range from what art is to discussions and projects that help participants look at art in

new ways.

“Maryann Cupo, a student of mine, is a veteran art teacher from the New York/New Jersey area,” Arnold said. “She offered to teach art history, beginning with the caves of Lascaux. In my classes, I help people create.

I can’t also do that (teaching.)

I also knew the art world was changing. They need to be aware of trends in the contemporary art world.”

Arnold spread the word about her club on Meetup and 70 people signed up. Usually, there are about 30 in attendance.

“People can bring their work, they can come with a question or something they want to talk about or they can listen,” Arnold said. “We take occasional field trips. We’ve been to the Rock and Gem Club of Port St. Lucie, Shade Tree Foundry in Fort Pierce, had an oil painting demonstration at a local art club and taken a limousine to Art Basel in Miami.

The club has also undertaken an Inside Out Project. That project is an international effort, made up of groups around the world, to share stories and messages and create works of public art. Topics have ranged from hope to diversity to gender-based violence and climate change. The

MARTIN COUNTY — Following the tragic suicide of a beloved celebrity, people are asking what they can do to support those coping with a mental health crisis in their own communities.

Tykes & Teens has been providing free and low-cost counseling and substance abuse prevention and treatment services to local children and adolescents for 18 years. The nonprofit is now planning for its seventh Annual Festival of Trees to be held Nov. 17-22, at the Courthouse Cultural Center on East Ocean Boulevard in Stuart, and offering local businesses and families the chance to support this vital cause by becoming sponsors or tree donors.

Sponsorship levels for the fundraiser range from $250 to the Signature Sponsorship at $5,000, which offers event naming rights.

All sponsors receive marketing and promotion benefits. Tree Sponsors are also needed to donate fully decorated holiday trees

Art Enrichment Club had a different idea. In a statement about the project, Arnold spelled out what they were trying to achieve.

“When we began our project in May 2013, we felt there was nothing to complain about in our lovely, tropical community. This was before the river pollution issue flared up again. Our community is made up of amazing people.

“We have chosen to celebrate the uniqueness of many great individuals in our community by calling our project “Treasures of the Treasure Coast.” We are honoring those who fly under the radar but bring true value to to our community. We are also matching each honoree with another of similar characteristics. They may not know each other; however, the goal of this art project is to get everyone talking about the quality people we see every day.”

The group put photos of the honorees in public view to speak conversation about who they were and why they were placed there.

Among the honorees brought together were Rob Crowder of Crowder Rods and 103-year-old Curt Whiticar, a former commercial fisherman and founder of Whiticar Boat Works. For Crowder, being part of the project

was an exciting and memorable experience.

“It was an honor to meet Curtis Whiticar,” he said. “I grew up fishing in Willoughby Creek and would pass by or fish behind his facility on almost a daily basis.

He is truly an icon of our industry.”

In addition to the club, Arnold maintains a busy schedule of group, private and online lessons in art, website design and digital media. She also holds workshops on art topics of interest. A recent one covered creating a digital art portfolio. Arnold also accepts private commissions and has just illustrated a children’s book, “The Time Seekers,” written by D.A. Squires of Palm City. Still, she remains committed to the club.

“We encourage anyone interested in art to come. You don’t have to be an artist. We talk about all forms of art and individuals of any age are welcome.”

The Art Enrichment Club meets on Saturdays from 4-5:15 p.m. at the Hoke Library, 1150 N.W. Jack Williams Way, Jensen Beach.
