Martin County adopts tentative budget Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — The County Commission had to do two first hearings to adopt a property-tax rate and tentative budget for fiscal year 2015-2016. The first meeting, Sept. 9, ended with a stalemate, because of conflicting 3-2 votes for the tax rate and budget. That forced the commission to a special meeting on Sept. 16. Commissioner Anne Scott, Hobe Sound, inadvertently created the stalemate at the first meeting by voting with commissioners Ed

Fielding and Sarah Heard to approve a slight increase in property-tax rates. Commissioners Doug Smith and John Haddox voted against it. Then Scott voted with Smith and Haddox against the slightly higher budget. Heard and Fielding voted for it. That left county staff scratching their heads. “We’ve never had this issue before,” County Administrator Taryn Kryzda said at the Sept. 9 meeting. By state law counties must advertise meetings and adopt budgets before the new fiscal year, which starts on Oct. 1.

Supervisor of Elections preps for mail in ballots Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
MARTIN COUNTY — The presidential debates are under way, and Supervisor of Elections Vicki Davis said it’s time for voters to start thinking about how they’re voting in 2016. In early November the county’s election office will mail about 60,000 postcards with instructions for voting by mail ballot. “It’s to all the registered voters,” Davis said. Households with multiple voters will get one postcard. About 40 percent of Martin’s voters use mail ballots these days. The first of the 2016 elections
comes on March 15. That’s the presidential preference primary. The Florida Division of Elections lists 21 candidates for the job. None of those have familiar names, such as Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the party frontrunners so far. Seven of the presidential candidates listed with the state are without party affiliation, and five are running as write-ins. However, five of those candidates are Republicans, and four are Democrats. Early voting for that will be March 5 to 12 at two locations, Tequesta and the elections office, 135 S.E. Martin Luther King Jr.

INVOKANA PATIENTS:
KETOACIDOSIS, KIDNEY FAILURE, HEART ATTACK & STROKE
Invokana is a new drug used for type 2 diabetes. Recently, the FDA issued a Public Health Advisory linking this type of drug to diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition which can result in organ failure and death. FDA Reports have linked this drug to kidney failure and early clinical trial data show an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in Invokana patients. If you have been prescribed Invokana, and have been harmed as a result, you may have legal rights against the pharmaceutical company. For questions concerning your legal rights, give us a call.
XARELTO - Lawsuits
have been filed against the manufacturer of Xarelto alleging that there was a failure to warn patients and physicians of the increased risks of internal bleeding while using Xarelto. If you or a loved one suffered internal bleed from taking Xarelto, or a loved one died as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact us.

TREASURE COAST — By this time next year, the primary for the 18th Congressional District will be done and the general election in full cry. One name Republican voters won’t see on their primary ballots is Tod Mowery. The St. Lucie County Commissioner dropped his congressional bid earlier this month. “I feel my work is better performed locally,” Mowery said. “I’m better able to help out locally.” Mowery said as a county commissioner he can do more to help solve some of issues that were his strongest motivations to run for Congress — cleaning up the Indian River Lagoon and stopping All Aboard Florida. He won reelection that that seat last year. Mowery is unwilling to speculate about whether he’ll make another run for it in 2018. Mowery leaves a crowded field of Republican hopefuls aiming to get the congressional seat Dem-

Nevertheless, Aug. 5, the FDFC board gave All Aboard Florida the nod to issue up to $1.75 billion in hybrid tax-exempt bonds — called private activity bonds — to build its proposed high-speed rail service. The board cited overall economic benefit to the state. 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. Most were for small manufacturers, health facilities, private, not-forprofit schools and senior living facilities. Durham said that when the State Legislature created the FDFC in the early ‘90s, no one seemed to have asked many questions to clarify its status and responsibilities to communities. “Generally when you look at what the FDFC has done, it was $20 million here, $30 million there, but it was always within one county,” he said. And none of the previous bond requests ever seemed to have generated much controversy. No one, Durham said, seemed to have ever asked what happens when a bond request before the FDFC helps one part of the state, but harms another. So, the county attorney said, the state’s financing authority never had to

TREASURE COAST — Martin County is asking the state’s ninth judicial circuit in Orange County to do something no one else might have ever done — figure out exactly what the Florida Development Finance Corporation, FDFC, is. The answers can have legal
ramifications for decades to come. For starters, the answers can help decide whether a court can pause or stop the sale of bonds the FDFC approved, which is what Martin County wants it to do. “I don’t even think (the FDFC) know what they are and what they are not,” Michael Durham, Martin’s county attorney, said. The legal filing is among the latest in a swirl of legal battles Trea-

Treasure Coast counties and residents say All Aboard Florida would bring economic hardship to the area by bifurcating communities, impeding navigation on the St. Lucie River, and other things.

Planetarium offers up-close look at Sunday’s lunar eclipse Lisa Barry
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST — A look up into the night sky Sunday, Sept. 27, will yield a glimpse of a particularly rare lunar eclipse that comes around once in a few decades. The moon, earth and sun will align for a total lunar eclipse on a “Supermoon,” an event that last occurred 32 years ago and will not come back around for another 18. The “Supermoon” feature of Sunday’s eclipse means the moon is at its nearest proximity to the earth, making it appear about 14 percent larger than usual, according to a report from NASA. Professor of Astronomy and director of the Hallstrom Planetarium at Indian River State College, Jon Bell, wants to help Treasure Coast residents experience the eclipse up close and personal – like they’re “coming in for a landing,” Bell said. With the help of the Treasure Coast Astronomy Society and the student-lead Hallstrom Astronomy Society, Bell is opening up the

Whether people view the eclipse from their backyard or through the lens of a telescope, the event “will make you feel like the moon is another world, not just some cookie in the sky,” Bell
around 10:11 p.m. “That’s when the red color will begin creeping in,” Bell said. From the telescopes, Bell and other members of the astronomy clubs will help point out craters, mountain ranges, and other details on the moon’s surface the casual viewer may otherwise miss

Palm City’s “Bat man” a friend of the bats Lisa Barry
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
PALM CITY — Dan Bozone never thought he would grow up to be a “bat man,” but now spends his time lurking in attics, scaling roofs, and safely removing some of Florida’s most valuable critters from homes and businesses never intended to house them. Bozone was introduced to the bat-proofing and removal business by his brother-in-law many years ago, but at first he was not too sure it was his cup of tea. “They kind of freaked me out at first, as they do with most people,” Bozone said. Once he started learning more about the species’ that serve a necessary and important role in Florida’s many ecosystems, Bozone gradually became more interested in how to help serve and protect them. In 2005 he bought his brotherin-law’s business and has continued the family operation, “Friends of Bats” ever since. “Bats are really beneficial to the environment, they’re just not very good house guests,” Bozone said. “Every one of those little bats eat 2-3,000 bugs every night,” acting as a better pesticide than any chemical or solution humans can produce, Bozone added. The bug eaters do more than keep the mosquitos off humans, Bozone said; they keep harmful insects from destroying agricultural land and crops. The majorities of bats found in Florida live and travel in colonies.
A small colony generally consists of 100 or more bats, but larger colonies can reach into the thousands, according to Bozone. As natural habitats become increasingly replaced by manmade infrastructure, the bats run out of places to live and sleep. With fewer trees to hang from, bats start to come indoors. All it takes is a half-inch opening in a roof or wall for a bat to enter. Once one is in, its colony will follow. “One of the most common places in Florida for the bats to live is between the barrels in a tile roof,” Bozone said. At first, home or business owners will not realize they have a bat or two living in their roof or attic. As more bats gather, people will start to hear the chatter and eventually, smell what the bats are leaving behind. “Some seasonal residents won’t catch it for months,” Bozone said. The stench from bat urine and feces can contaminate entire households, seeping into furniture and carpet and attracting other pests like cockroaches. Enough bats in one place can even cause structural damage to a property. “In those cases, people need an entire environmental cleanup,” Bozone said. Once the bats have already claimed a spot in a building, it’s Bozone’s job to help get them out. Trapping or exterminating bats is illegal in the state of Florida, so Bozone lures the bats out of unwelcome territory with a spe-

Until every crack is sealed, no one is invincible against a bat invasion. Even some of the newest roofs allow the perfect opening
for bats to fly in and make a new home. Bats have a tendency to conjure up images of blood-thirsty vampires or rabies-carrying biters. But Bozone said most bats are completely harmless. Most bats in the wild will go completely undetected by humans because they are nocturnal and rarely make appearances during daytime hours. If a single bat is found on the ground during the day that is a sign it may be carrying a disease like rabies. But in reality, less than 1 percent of

Participants raise funds for Alzheimer’s Care, support and research FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
TREASURE COAST — The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Treasure Coast residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. It will take place Saturday, Oct. 3 at Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach. Walk to End Alzheimer’s is more than a walk. It is an experience for the more than 700 participants in the Treasure Coast who will learn about Alzheimer’s disease and how to get involved with
this critical cause, from advocacy opportunities and clinical studies enrollment to support programs and services. Walk participants also honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony. “Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is a fun opportunity for the community to help us get closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s,” said CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association Southeast Florida Chapter, Ann May. “Funds raised will provide care and support services to the

Republican primary race. There’s been a lot of scuttlebutt among local politicos about others who many enter the fray. That list has about eight names, including Doug Smith, Martin County Commissioner. On the Democratic side there are four in a primary race. All are from Palm Beach County, except for Stuart’s John Xuna. Two of the vying Democrats are Palm Beach County commission members: Melissa McKinlay and Pricilla Taylor. Politicos have named another St. Lucie commissioner, Chris Dzadovsky, as a potential Democratic candidate. He told Your Voice News & Views he’s not considering a primary run for Congress. Since announcing his candidacy in May, Mowery raised about $100,000. He said the 18th congressional seat is going to have a steep price tag. It may be one of the most expensive seats in the 115th Congress, 2019 to 2021. The district — which covers all of St. Lucie and Martin counties, along with a sliver of Palm Beach’s northern side — is one of only 10 in the nation the “Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report” puts into its pure toss up category for 2016. Between St. Lucie and Martin counties, there are about

“It’s good that people are going to look at the Treasure Coast. It’s good in terms that people will know where we are and who we are.” Tod Mowery 107,000 registered Republican voters. Democrats claim 102,000 registrants. Another 63,000 voters registered in minor parties, or without affiliation. That scratches the power of party loyalty found in other districts. In 2014, the district was counted among “battleground races,” although Murphy handily trounced challenger Carl Domino with nearly 60 percent of the vote. Domino is back this year in the Republican primary. Mowery said, being one of a handful of battleground districts, Treasure Coast voters have an unusual opportunity to get national eyes on the area’s concerns, and he’s hoping to help do that. “It’s good that people are going to look at the Treasure Coast,” he said. “It’s good in terms that people will know where we are and who we are.” In the presidential primary, Republican Gov. Scott Walker, Wisconsin, recently announced he’s dropping out of the race. He follows Rick Perry, former Republican governor of Texas. Florida’s presidential preference primary will be March 15.

Blvd., Stuart. Mail ballots will start going out in the middle of February. Military and overseas voters will get theirs mailed at the end of January. Davis said mail ballots don’t have to be mailed back. “(Voters) can fill out their ballots at their convenience,” Davis said. “If they don’t want to drop it in the mail, they can drop it off at the office.” During the general election voters can also drop off mail ballots at early voting sites, such as the Peter & Julie Cummings Library. The general election early voting dates are Oct. 24 to Nov. 5 next year. Davis said mail ballots help avoid crushes at election sites. “For the other voters, who opt not to vote by mail, it shortens the lines on election day,” she said. “That’s one of the great advantages for us.” After all, these days a candidate in an otherwise lackluster election can spark huge voter turnout hours before Election Day with a single comment. “Every election is different,” Davis said. “It’s like a hurricane. Every hurricane is different.” Additionally, Palm City is something of an election hot spot. Almost 61 percent of Palm City’s registered voters cast ballots in last year’s general election. That’s slightly more than Martin County’s 59.35 percent turnout, and much more than the state’s 50.34 percent turnout. Palm City residents cast 13,264 ballots, about 21.23 percent of the county’s total. Mail — what used to be called “absentee” — ballots were the largest bloc of votes cast in the county. The elections office got 24,535 mailed ballots delivered back by Election Day. During early voting last year, Oct. 20 to Nov. 1, the county had 14,615 voters cast their ballots. Another 23,311 showed up at their precincts on Election Day.
“For the other voters, who opt not to vote by mail, it shortens the lines on election day. That’s one of the great advantages for us.” Vickie Davis Martin County Supervisor of Elections Palm City has four precincts: 24, 25, 26 and 27. They’re at the Palm City Community Center at Charlie Leighton Park, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Palm City Presbyterian Church, and the Cummings Library. Martin County has almost 104,000 voters. That’s down a little more than 1,000 voters since the 2014 general election. There’ll be many registration drives in coming months, so the number is likely to swell. Among races Palm City voters will help decide are three county commission seats — including District 5, now occupied by John Haddox — along with two school board seats—which also includes District 5, now occupied by Michael DiTerlizzi. Other county races are for the constitutional officers: the Clerk of Court; Sheriff; Property Appraiser; Superintendent of Schools; Tax Collector; and Supervisor of Elections. There will be state judicial offices up for voter decisions. On the federal side, Palm City voters will participate in a Senate race for outgoing Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat, along with the Congressional District 18 seat. Voters have until the Wednesday before any election day to request mail ballots.

out on. “It’s a great learning experience for the kids, an educational thing, and it’s something you don’t get to see all the time,” said David Brown, President of the Treasure Coast Astronomical Society. The entire eclipse will transpire slowly for several hours, with totality lasting about 72 minutes, according to NASA. “It’s stately, it’s measured,” Bell said. “It’s very non-stressful. You can relax and enjoy the event. The slowness of the eclipse and the number of astronomers and telescopes on site will give everyone a chance to view the action as it unfolds, said Bell. “Saturn will also be out that night,” Brown said, “And during the eclipse, the moon will turn a bronze-y, rust-type color.” Though Bell and Brown are each hopeful for clear weather and positive viewing conditions, clouds and rain are always a threat to killing the eclipse excitement. At the planetarium, Bell is taking the unknown weather forecast out of the equation. If clouds cover the moon, the group will simply move inside. Attendees will see live feeds of the lunar eclipse from other vantage points on the earth projected onto the night sky inside the planetarium. Regardless of the conditions outdoors, the event promises to be a learning experience for everyone, Bell said. The Hallstrom Planetarium hosts regular shows and events, but Sunday’s event will classify as an open house, therefore free to the public. “The moon belongs to everyone,” Bell said. “Everyone should be able to see this if they want to.” Bell suggests bringing comfortable folding chairs and binoculars to the event on Sunday evening. It will kick off at 8 p.m. in the parking lot near the planetarium
Photo courtesy of Indian River State College Planetarium Director and Associate Professor of Astronomy at Indian River State College, Jon Bell, is preparing for the lunar eclipse event. The free event will offer spectators opportunities to see the moon up close through telescopes as the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon that will be visible to the naked eye. on the Indian River State College campus in Fort Pierce. Bell and other astronomers will remain in the lot until the crowd disperses, somewhere around 1 a.m. For those who cannot make it out to the planetarium for “front row” seats of the eclipse, Bell said anyone can experience the event for themselves from their own lawn or window. Just a set of binoculars will make the image even better. “You don’t have to worry about safety, there is no danger in hurting your eyes from looking at the moon,” Bell said. No tickets are necessary to attend the free planetarium event. The planetarium is located at 3209 Virginia Avenue, Fort Pierce, FL 34981. For more information, call (772) 462-4750.
BUDGET from page 1 Commissions must also do two budget-adoption hearings — one at which a tentative tax rate and budget is approved, and a second to make it final. By the special meeting, Sept. 16, Scott said the threat of the state government intervening if the commission couldn’t reconcile the conflicting votes concerned her. “I will vote for (this budget) tonight, because a shutdown, furloughs, is a less attractive option,” she said. “But, this is not what we were elected to do. We need to pull (the budget) apart and understand it.” Additionally, Haddox switched his votes. At the Sept. 16 meeting, Smith was the lone holdout against the tax rate and budget. Under the tentative budget, which gets a final hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 22, property taxes would increase to almost $9.40 for every $1,000 in accessed, non-exempt value. The rate increase comes at a time when property values are increasing, too. In June the commission and other taxing bodies got word from Laurel Kelly, property appraiser, that the taxable value of Martin swelled about 4 percent. It increased from about $17.7 billion in 2014 to $18.4 billion this year.
YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS • PALM CITY & TESORO • SEPTEMBER 25, 2015• 11 Had the county’s tax rate stayed the same as this fiscal year, the property value increase alone would have added about $6.2 million. With the proposed rate increase, the county adds about $9.4 million in property taxes. About $153 million of the county’s tentative $370 million budget is funded by property taxes. Michael Durham, the county attorney, said that if the commission returns to gridlock at the final budget adoption hearing, state intervention is possible, but there are no systemic mechanisms in place for the situation. He said the state has a mandatory auditor system for counties that become financially distressed and are unable to meet their budgets. “In Martin County, we don’t have that problem,” Durham said. “We have a policy debate, not a money issue.” Nevertheless, he said it’s conceivable that the state could, and likely would, adapt its distressed-county systems to Martin if it has a budget deadlock. “There are constitutional officers involved,” Durham said. For example, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office budget is decided and covered by the Martin County Commission. Durham said the state would almost certainly step

figure out if it was a quasi-legislative body, or a quasi-judicial one. The distinction can be important for legal reasons. Namely, in this case, how much opportunity the FDFC was required to give opponents of All Aboard Florida a chance to be heard. Durham said the decisions courts make about what FDFC is and is not can have profound repercussions. “What would happen if they wanted to issue bonds to a petroleum company wanting to come in and do fracking, or to a nuclear power plant?” Durham said. Hydraulic fracturing, called “fracking,” is a debated method for extracting natural gas that involves using liquids at extreme pressures to fracture rock encasing reserves. Critics say it endangers aquifer water quality. The FDFC insists that no government is on the hook should All Aboard Florida 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. Last December, the federal transportation department gave All Aboard Florida permission
Ira S. Pearlstine, MD
to sell the bonds issued through Florida Development Finance Corporation. Many All Aboard Florida 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 next year. 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. Earlier this year, Martin created a $1.4 million account to battle All Aboard Florida, and used some of the fund to hire McDermott Will & Emery, a Washington D.C. law firm. 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. Commissioner John Haddox said it does get difficult to keep up with all the legal filings against All Aboard Florida, but he’s in no sort to stop now. Haddox proposed Martin’s $1.4 million legal fund. “I have no feeling of pessimism or frustration,” he said. “I knew going in it was going to be a very long, tough arduous battle.”

Photo courtesy of The Willow House The Willow House, a Martin County non-profit that will offer counseling services to at-risk girls ages 10-18 and will eventually include a residential facility, recently held an Open House to introduce the public and agencies to its work. Attendees are pictured here with board members; Jaime Schwartz, Olivia Thompson, Jan Otten, Nicole King, Joe Duerr, Merry Stoyanovich, Katrina McCullough and Debra Nagler, from left to right.
PALM CITY – When teenage girls are hurting, they often become self-destructive. They may not know where to turn for help. Now a new faith-based 501©(3) nonprofit, The Willow House, hopes to help Martin County girls aged10-18 navigate the difficult terrain of growing up, especially in circumstances that are less than ideal. Palm City resident Katrina McCullough is a Willow House board member. A native of Pennsylvania, she graduated from Edinboro University, where she played Division Two basketball. She and her young family moved to Florida in 2012 when her husband, a physical therapist, got a job here. “I was working in health care,” she said. “My husband had a great opportunity and (my employers) let me move my job. After a merger, my position was eliminated.” McCulloch was hired by Merrill Lynch, but had to take a leave to resolve a medical issue while working on an online master’s degree in integrated marketing communications. That left her time to do volunteer work. “I met Nicole King, The Willow House’s co-founder and executive director, in church,” McCulloch said. “We hit it off. She’s one of those people who’s 100 percent authentically who she is. I’m using the abilities learned through my master’s program. It’s worked
out really great.” The Willow House’s goal is to have a faith-based, specialized and therapeutic residential home for young at-risk girls who have been victims of abusive circumstances. King has a master’s degree in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State and has worked in the health and human services field for 20 years. She saw a need that she felt wasn’t being met. “When Nicole was 12, her parents got divorced and her life changed,” McCullough said. “She went wild. She did the things parents worry their kids will do. There were no services for her, no counseling or sounding boards.” The Willow House hopes to set up mentorship programs for junior and high school girls, especially those in the foster care system. “They need someone who they can turn to and be steady (in their lives,)” McCullough said. “That’s what The Willow House wants to do for the girls of Martin County.” This month, The Willow House will start holding counseling sessions. There is one program for junior high girls and one for high school students. Thus far, South Fork High School and Anderson and Murray Middle Schools are participating. “Because it’s faith-based, it has to be driven by the families,” McCullough said. “We’ve gotten our first referrals.

WILLOW from page 16 House, there were a lot of agencies who want to refer girls. It’s grass roots.” McCullough said The Willow House has several missions. “We want to focus on prevention,” she said. “Girls with poor self-esteem often come from families with no foundation and they spiral into situations. The Willow House wants to look at girls in junior and senior high school and say, ‘Let me show you what you’re worth. You have value.’” The second mission for Willow House is to combat sex trafficking. Florida is third in the nation for reported sex trafficking victims. For McCullough, this has a personal edge. “Several years ago, I was in Sandsprit Park with my son and saw a van full of young women. Men were taking photographs. My son and I got out. We talk about these numbers in Florida and we say it doesn’t happen in Martin County. I didn’t call the police and it eats at me.” Still, the emphasis at Willow House is on moving forward. “We have grants out and are hoping for donors,” McCullough said. “We have office space for administration, counseling and support groups, but eventually we hope have a facility to provide housing for girls in transition or

Photo courtesy of Mitch Kloorfain Peter Jones of StarStruck Academy & Theatre announces that Eliza Levy of Palm City is the winner of the 2014 Treasure Coast Got Talent competition. Auditions for the 2015 contest will take place Oct. 15.
STUART – Got talent? If so, Treasure Coast’s Got Talent, now in its fifth year, wants to hear from you. Auditions for the competition, which include a grand prize of $500, will take place Oct. 15 at 6:45 p.m. at StarStruck Theatre in Stuart. The show date for those accepted as finalists is Oct. 24 at the theater. Jennifer Jones, artistic director and founder of StarStruck and a judge for the event, spoke about the competition. “It’s open to people ages 6-106,” she said. “There are four categories by age and at the auditions, they are put into groups. The finalist in each category wins $100 and the audience votes among the four finalists for the opportunity to win another $500. “We look for all types of talent, including singers, dancers, magicians, instrumentalists. Last year, we had two amazing singer/songwriters. They can twirl batons or do anything they think will get them a spot. A keyboard will be provided, but others should bring their instruments, and singers should bring

Dee-Stefano’s began as a quaint local family restaurant serving NY style Italian food owned and Operated by Dee & Steve Woods. Originally from Brooklyn, New York they first moved to Coral Springs, Florida in 1989 and then migrated to the Treasure Coast in 1998. Dee was a typical Italian homemaker who loved to cook and serve to family and friends. They bought an existing pizzeria in the summer of 1999 changed the name to Dee-Stefano’s converting over the menu to Dee’s own family recipes. We now have 2 locations serving the Treasure Coast and are excited to team up with the Martin Down’s Golf Club.

TALENT from page 23 a karaoke CD as backup accompaniment. Joining Jones as judges will be Pete Morello, a professional performer and Larry McKay, a radio personality and comedian. Auditions will take place in front of Jennifer Jones and her husband, Peter, who is emceeing the show. Jones said that in looking for the judges, she looks for people who know show business from a variety of angles and have a good eye for talent. The audition process is relatively painless, Jones said. There are no appointments; contestants should come at 6:45. “They come in and we talk for a few minutes and then they do their act,” Jones said. “Most people are in and out in 10 minutes. We contact them within 48 hours, either way. They only audition in front of Jennifer and Peter Jones. We always have a couple of returning people (who didn’t make it.) It doesn’t mean you won’t make it this time.” Jones also said that the competition is not limited to individual performers. “One year, we had a dance troupe of 20. That was one act. This year, I’m picking the best talent that walks in the door. I want to give the audience an
amazing show.” In addition to the cash prize, the winner will receive two tickets to StarStruck’s professional production of “Gypsy,” and a gift certificate toward classes at StarStruck. All finalists will have the opportunity to perform for radio personalities in the audience who are scouting talent. Jones said that the competition is not only for those who plan to perform professionally. “It’s on some bucket lists and it’s their 15 minutes of fame,” she said. “One year, two gentlemen, one in his 50s and the other in his 70s, thanked me back stage. They said I’d no idea what it meant. They’d sung karaoke in bars but never performed in a theater, working with a stage manager, having a technical run-through, seeing the spotlights. They were so excited. They didn’t care if they won or lost. It brought me to tears.” StarStruck Academy and Theatre is located at 2101 S. Kanner Highway, Stuart. For more information, call (772) 283-2313 or visit the website www.starstruckfl.com/auditions. Tickets for the finals Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. range in price from $19.99$29.99. Audience members make the final vote for the winner. For tickets, call the box office at (772) 283-7787.

Pet of the week
Miney
I am a 2-1/2 year-old chap who cannot decide if cuddling, playtime or napping is what I enjoy the most. I will greet you always with my stunning green eyes and long white whiskers. I wish to be your one and only 13 lb. mate!
Full of love, I am an absolute sweetheart. Although I am not fond of loud noises and thunder, I am a 6 year old Hound mix gentleman. At 58 lbs., I am a good boy who enjoys sitting in your lap, wiggling my happy body and having lots of fun. I will need help with my medical treatment for heartworms, for which the shelter will pay. I will reciprocate with heartwarming kisses.
