pre-school the correct way.

After 20 years working in early childhood education, Amazing Abilities Academy owner Annmarie Garman decided to start one herself, so she could put the best practices she’s found to work.

A significant part of that is to incorporate all children from all backgrounds in the same, stimulating, loving environment, Garman said.

TREASURE COAST — The Martin County Commission was the most recent to dive into the proposed Indian River Lagoon Council.

At its last regular meeting, Tuesday, Jan. 13, the commission unanimously voted to pay $50,000 a year into efforts to restore the Indian River Lagoon to health.

The St. Lucie County Commission will have an informal meeting 9 a.m. Feb. 10 to view a presentation put on by county staff, so the commissioners can decide whether they want to join the new council.

St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky said a formal vote would take place Feb. 17 at the commission’s regular meeting.

If approved by Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Brevard and Volusia county commissions, the new body will administer monies from the National Estuary Program, get a few more dollars from water management districts and create peer pressure on member counties to fix the lagoon, Fielding said. “(The St. Johns and South Florida water management districts) each will be contrib-

Mutter’s Hearing Center, Inc. Providing superior products, service and care with honest and competitive pricing since 2003 The Only Full Time Hearing Center in St. Lucie West

Joe Mutter, H.A.S.

“The thrill and joy I get from helping people get their lives back, from seeing their face when they hear sounds that they haven’t heard in years. That’s why I do this.”

I made an appointment with a local hearing center, Mutter’s Hearing Center in St. Lucie West, and the ensuing experience changed my life.

Helen G. Eaton

“Joe was extremely patient and thoroughly explained things in ways anyone could understand. He made me feel comfortable and confident.” “Now, I can adjust my hearings aids to fit the needs of my situation. Now, I can hear everything. I can even hear at the bar at Duffy’s”

I needed to improve the quality of my life by hearing better. I have been wearing my hearing aids since November 2013 and my quality of life has improved greatly. I would never go anywhere else for my hearing healthcare needs...

Mr. & Mrs. John Orlandi St Lucie West

Sincerely Carolyn DuBrin

Carolyn DuBrin

After Joe first put in my new aids and asked me to step outside, I was shocked at the beautiful sounds that sprang to life upon that first step outside. The birds, the cars, the horns, the wind. How much have I been missing all these years, why did I wait so long to get a hearing check up? Joe Mutter proved to us that he is a true professional. A kind hearted soul that really cares about his clients.

“Joe was the first one who could make hearing possible and comfortable. He was patient and kind,” said Dr. Costas. “Joe sat with Aunt Mary until she was comfortable using them and then he made her come back multiple times until he was satisfied. He saved Aunt Mary from a nursing home

Buhrman had tried several hearing aids costing several thousands of dollars but when she met Joe Mutter and tried her hearing aids for the first time, the whole world changed. “I fell down on my knees and thanked God for bringing me to that miracle man, Joe Mutter,”

Young man reflects on rescue effort ST. LUCIE WEST — He never was a Boy Scout, but Florida Atlantic University pre-med student Alton Brieske couldn’t have been more prepared when a vehicle plunged into a canal while the student was eating lunch across the street.

Brieske, a former competitive swimmer at John Carroll High School, ran across the street and dived into the water. Much of what happened was captured on video as Brieske tried to free 92-year-old Salvatore Mancuso from the car.

“A lot of people don’t realize on the video that when it went into the water, it was 30 feet in,” Brieske said. “Another gentleman dove in and was trying to open the door. I told them to stop because it was too deep. The car was sinking.

It was inevitable that the car would sink. We were trying to get closer to land to avoid him drowning. The man inside was unconscious.”

Brieske knew that if he broke a car window, water would rush in and the man would drown.

“At first I was freaking out,” he said. “All of us were treading water. I was trying to get him to wake up by pounding on the window. All of us were treading water. Twenty people had gathered, and I yelled for a hammer.

“A man yelled that he had one in his truck and I swam back and got it. Then I began beating on the back window. As soon as I broke it, I had to pop open the lock and open

Brieske, who swam competitively from the age of 5, and competed at the state level for all four of his high school years, swam back to shore with Mancuso.

“I was starting CPR, and I asked a lady to take his pulse. My hands were shaking (too hard.) She couldn’t feel a pulse, and I started CPR. By the time the paramedics arrived, I had ripped his shirt off. It was all wet and when they attach defibrillators, I knew it had to be dry.”

Brieske came by the last bit of knowledge when he trained to become a volunteer EMT. He started taking classes, but had to give it up because his studies took up too much time.

The paramedics took over and transported Mancuso to Tradition Medical Center, where he remained in a coma until he died two days later.

Brieske went back to finish lunch, and he saw detectives marking the road.

“At first I was disappointed, because I thought he had died, that my efforts were not enough,” he said. “An hour later, a sergeant called me and told me that his heart had started and that he was on a ventilator in the hospital.”

For Brieske, the decision to help was an easy one.

“I thought, ‘What a tragic way to go, driving

SCHOOL from page A1 Garman said the school is accepting to special needs children. That factored into the school’s name, though she chose to leave “special needs” out because some people have an immediate negative connotation and think of the “r-word,” as she called it.

“Every child deserves a pre-school experience,” she said. “When they grow up, there will be more acceptance. And, if we were all the same, it would be so boring. I love that we are all so different.”

Before opening, Garman said she screened each of her teachers extensively, starting in the summer to, to make sure she had the best candidates.

“They really care about the kids. I don’t want teachers who want to just clock in and clock out,” she said.

Each one is credentialed as a Florida Child Care Professional and has been fingerprinted, gone through a level two background check, been certified in CPR and undergone a drug test. Garman said each of her employees must undergo random drug testing.

Instructor Robin Campbell is one of the committed members of the staff. Having taught for 30 years, Campbell said the best part about career is learning from the kids.

“They amaze me, with the things society and the science community says they can’t do, and they do it. It’s a great way to spend your life. When they hold my hand, I feel like they are holding the past, and when I hold theirs, I feel like I’m holding the future,” Campbell said.

The school is in its early stages, having opened Jan. 5, but Garman said spots are filling up quickly. She’s capped enrollment at

60 total — 10 per grade level, with two instructors for each class to give children the most attention.

Children from ages 1 to 5 can attend, and each grade gets its own classroom with a monitor and name: 12 to 18 months are the Yellow Ducks, 18 to 24 months are the Lady Bugs, 2 year-olds are the Chameleons, 3-year olds are the Brown Bears, 4-year olds are the Caterpillars and 5-year olds are the Butterflies because they are ready to “fly away” to some other school, Garman said.

In addition to the usual academic subjects,

the instructors offer enrichment activities, including art, physical education, library, art and yoga.

There’s also a sensory room that has tunnels for crawling through, a bouncing pit for jumping and other ways for children to learn coordination.

“It’s just a good place for them to get their wiggles out,” Garman said.

Cost is $180 per week per student, and parents must fill out some standard forms before their child can attend.

or all of the golfers out there who have driven by the gated, private golf courses that dot our little slice of paradise and wished that they could experience life on the inside, the wait is over.

PGA America recently unveiled St. Lucie Trail Golf Club. For years, the private PGA Country Club could be seen only partially from St. Lucie West Boulevard for most, but on Nov. 1 the newly named golf course was opened to the public.

The St. Lucie Trail Golf Club, originally designed by famed golf course designer Jim Fazio in 1988, has undergone a complete makeover including tee boxes, fairways, greens and landscaping.

Under the direction of PGA superintendent Dick Gray, the course is in about as good a condition as can be.

A few friends and I had the pleasure of playing a round on the new course a couple of weekends ago. It was everything and then some that it was promised to be.

From the moment you enter the facility, you get the feel of a private course. The staff, all experienced in dealing with the expectations of the private golf course world, exude all of the class you would expect at a first-rate facility.

Under the guidance of new St. Lucie West resident and head golf professional Nate Manis, every-

OUR VIEW thing about the club is a step above. When asked about the feedback from the golfers, Manis said, “I truly haven’t had one complaint. It’s been very positive from everyone. The course is in as good a shape as it could be, and the greens are like putting on a slate

For our group, it was a real pleasure, a challenging, yet manageable track with enough choices of tee boxes to make it playable and enjoyable for everyone from novices to scratch players.

The greens are the real challenge to this course. With rarely a flat spot to find, yet as smooth as any greens we have ever experienced, making it to the hole and staying there was often our downfall. It really made us appreciate the expertise of the professionals who play on greens like these on a regular basis.

It is a beautiful course to play, as well. Surrounded by oaks and pines and just enough water to get your attention, on your first time out, you can expect to add a few strokes to your average score.

After a few rounds and a bit of course knowledge, your scores should return to your normal totals.

Peter Perry just not enough in my government paycheck to meet both my daily living needs and my set aside amount. OK, plan ‘B:’ How much more money would I need to come up with to offset the shortfall? Plan ‘B’ was actually plan ‘EJ,’ which stood for “extra jobs.”

OK, as a devoted and dedicated car nut, I was also trained as a mechanic, and I decided that I could use my spare time to repair and restore cars on the military base at the base garage. The base garage was available free to military personnel for their own personal use and had the necessary facilities and tools to perform

just about any type of repair work.

My first project was a 1957 Pontiac, which I purchased for $100.

After some minor engine repairs and a tune-up with parts costing $30, I now had a reliable driver.

Next step was to repaint the faded two-tone blue exterior with a cool gold finish. Costs associated with paint and material were just over $50. Transformation was now complete for an investment of just over $180. And the best part was that I had a fellow airman in need of reliable transportation. It didn’t take much convincing that this pretty ‘57 Pontiac was the car for him. So, for $400, he became the proud new owner. Cool, a nifty $220 profit going straight into my Corvette stash.

Anyway, the plan also required special motivation in order for me to maintain my focus on that goal and never lose sight of what was required of me in order to succeed.

do not know of anyone who has never thought about their future goals and aspirations.

There has always been a time in one’s life when they have thought about achieving a goal.

Regardless of whether it was formally in writing or just a glancing thought, at some point, you have thought about the attainment of a goal.

For me, it was when I entered military service. I had decided that after four years of service in the Air Force, would purchase a brand new Corvette Stingray. Once I had decided that this was clearly my goal, I realized that I needed a plan that would allow me to attain that goal. I started with a financial plan in order to identify exactly how much money I would need to save from my monthly pay. Believe me, that was a real challenge, since back in the ‘60s, military pay was barely adequate for basic survival.

The next step was to consider the timing in order to successfully execute the plan. Let’s see, four years provides 48 monthly pay periods. Once I estimated the cost of the car based on my discharge date, I then calculated the monthly savings necessary by dividing 48 pay periods into the cost estimate.

Only problem was that there was

bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com

TREASURE COAST — Area high school football players looking to get more national exposure in hopes of getting a college football scholarship will get their chance, but it will come with a price.

Diamond Combine is in its first year of marketing under-recruited football players.

The way it works is, an athlete — or more likely the athlete’s parents — gives Diamond Combine $50, and their coaches (recruiters) put the player through a workout, much like the NFL Combine, which is booming in popularity among viewers.

The athlete is put through a series of tests: 40-yard dash, shuttle run, vertical jump, standing long-jump and other drills that recruiters use as tools to try to predict whether a high school football player can successfully make the transition to college ball.

“They do everything the NFL does,” said Keith Powell, the Florida director for Diamond Combine.

The results are posted on Diamond Combine’s website, along with all others from across the contiguous 48 states, and players are ranked by their position and region.

It can be misleading in a way, though. The players they rank are only among other Diamond Combine participants. So, the “No. 1” Treasure Coast player on their site is just the No. 1 Treasure Coast player who pays for

Diamond Combine Services.

The players also get shirts, shorts and highlight tapes made for the $50.

Diamond Combine was started about a year ago, and the closest places for local athletes to go for a workout were Jacksonville and Miami. That will be changing, however because there will be two combines at Lawnwood Stadium in Fort Pierce: March 28 and May 9.

“We want these people to show up in droves, so we can say, ‘this

GOALS from page A7

It’s Not Too Late

Each month, I would purchase Car and Driver, a popular car magazine, and cut out the full page Corvette advertisements. I would then hang them on my bedroom wall. At night, just before lights out, I would look up at the framed Corvette pictures and picture one in my garage back home. Upon awaking each morning, I would look up at the Corvette pictures to remind me of my goal. This provided me with the motivation to execute my plan and for me to never lose sight of my goal.

Although I did not meet my savings goal, I did buy that brand new Sting Ray. Actually, thanks to a loving mother willing to loan me the shortfall, I was able to attain my goal in three years and three months, nine months earlier than my discharge date.

For many seniors who are now retired or nearing retirement, we can easily relate to the Corvette story. Whether it is a new car, house, business or retirement, we need a clear vision and a plan for the attainment of that vision.

Many have had clear goals and planned wisely with sound financial plans; some, not so wisely.

But certainly all of us should feel some sense of accomplishments.

We are after all enjoying the Florida sunshine and I am sure,

to make 2015 Great!!!

attained many accomplishments and personal goals.

The purpose or end result for an organization is spelled out in its mission statement. For an individual, it is a specific goal or image of achievement. Put another way, this means setting your sights on an objective or attainment and never ever losing sight of that image. Earl Nightingale, the famous author of “Lead The Field” and one of our earliest and most successful motivational authors said, “Spend one hour every day thinking about your goal and how to get there.”

Nightengale had many morsels of wisdom. I also liked his analogy when he spoke about the ship with a complete voyage mapped out and planned. The captain and crew know exactly where the ship is going and how long it will take.

It has a definite goal. And 9,999 times out of 10,000, it will get there.

For me, it was the picture on the wall that filled me with positive emotions about that car. That experience taught me that the more intensely I felt about a goal, the more progressively I would move towards it. I got my new Corvette and enjoyed it for many miles.

However, life is full of surprises and of course our goals and priorities are subject to change. I finally

DIAMOND from page A8 is our backyard, and this is the talent here,’” Powell, a St. Lucie West resident, said. “A lot of kids, where they come from, they’re not getting noticed.”

Diamond Combine also has a national All-Star game. The first one was a four-day event, starting Jan. 3 in Myrtle Beach, and 12 Treasure Coast athletes, ranging from grades seven to 12, made the trip.

That cost each one an extra $400, though. For that they got custom uniforms, athletic clothing and gear, more video footage, exposure and publicity, bags, arm bands, seminars, food, insurance for the event, and, if they earned it, an MVP designation, Powell said.

The danger is that all of the time and money may go to waste.

There is no guarantee that the athlete gets recognized.

Powell said Diamond Combine has gotten a nice following lately and players were noticed.

Clemson and North Carolina were among the many schools at the All-Star game, he noted.

He said he saw other scouts in the stands, watching and taking notes, but, since a college recruiter has no obligation to identify himself, it’s impossible to say what other schools attended.

Mike McInnis Fort Pierce Central Wide Receiver Mike McInnis, a Fort Pierce Central senior punter and wide receiver, said he’s not sure whether the process helped get him any extra attention from schools.

“I’m hoping I did. I do not have any offers that I know of … but I do have some colleges interested in me,” he said, naming Averett University in Virginia and Methodist University in North Carolina.

“I thought it was a good experience and a great place to get exposure. I had fun with all the players that I bonded with,” he said.

Powell said more than 8,000 players had gone through combine workouts, and about 420 went to the All-Star game, which is where the greatest chance of getting noticed through Diamond Combine lies.

A lot of athletes got calls and letters from college recruiters, but Powell said, so far, he’s heard of just one who had received a definitive scholarship offer.

Diamond Combine COO Vicki Wittenstein-Robinson said she’s working on compiling a list of players who have gotten more college attention or offers as a result, but that’s still in the early stages.

“A lot of the senior boys were getting looked at, and there were some kids who were asked to see some schools,” she said.

As Diamond Combine gains in popularity, though, Powell said that figure will increase. And he said he genuinely hopes it does because he cares about kids getting the chance to make something of themselves at the college level.

“Just because you have one of the most skillful kids doesn’t mean there’s not a kid sitting on the bench, doesn’t mean there’s not somebody out there on the streets (who) needs an opportunity to be looked at,” Powell said. “A lot of them don’t get noticed, and that’s what we’re getting them.”

LAGOON from page A1 uting $500,000. (The Florida Department of Environmental Protection) will be contributing $250,000. The (Environmental Protection Agency) will be contributing about $500,000. Each county that’s a member will contribute $50,000. We’ll have $2 million of base money,” he said.

That’s about $2 million a year for projects to clean the Indian River Lagoon, along with a board to look at the science and prioritize projects. The St. Johns River Water Management District now administers the National Estuary Program funding. Fielding said the proposed council was an outgrowth of the Indian River Lagoon Counties Collaborative, a discussion confederation formed

by Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Brevard and Volusia counties.

“We have, with the assistance of FDEP and St. Johns and South Florida (water management districts), we are forming a separate, new entity,” Fielding said. “It’ll be called the Indian River Lagoon Council. It will be composed of a county commission member from each of the five counties, a deputy secretary for the FDEP and a board level member for the water management (districts).”

Dzadovsky, St. Lucie County’s would-be board member, said

the only downside, if any, would be shelling out an additional $50,000 per year.

“I think it’s incredibly important to be part of the Indian River Lagoon Council. You have the ability to have professionals and science-based information along with elected officials to discuss the health and benefits of the Indian River Lagoon” Dzadovsky said. “$50,000 seems to be like a good investment.”

The 150-mile Indian River Lagoon — which is formed by Mosquito Lagoon, along with the Banana and Indian rivers — runs along about 40 percent of Florida’s east coast. It provides a lot of economic activity in tourism and commercial fishing. Additionally, it’s a lynchpin to ecology along its route.

During the last federal fiscal year, the federal estuary program funded 28 cleanup efforts nationwide, with each getting about $538,000, totaling 60 percent of the total fund. The rest of the money covered administrative costs.

Also last year, congressmen Bill Posey and Patrick Murphy co-sponsored the Estuary Urgent Needs Priority Program Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives, but stalled in the Senate. Posey, Rockledge, is a Republican. Murphy, Jupiter, is a

Democrat.

If the bill passed by the last House of Representatives is taken up and passed by the entire 114th Congress and signed

by President Barack Obama, it would make the EPA prioritize its funding to the national estuaries based on competitive evaluations.

In other words, the money would have to head to the sickest estuaries first. Additionally, the bill, if it becomes law, would also drastically slash how much National Estuary Program money goes to administrative costs.

Posey told Your Voice News & Views Murphy and he are baffled about what the “administrative costs” actually are. He said the two have repeatedly asked the EPA to explain them to no avail.

Additionally, the bill passed by the 113th Congress’ House allocated $27 million each year to the national cleanup program from through 2018, requiring 80 percent to be split among the estuaries, and 5 percent toward administration. The remaining 15 percent, under that bill, would be distributed based on need, with estuaries having the most problems with obstacles such as extensive seagrass habitat losses, recurring harmful algae blooms, unusual marine mammal mortalities and invasive exotic species.

That would have meant about

$770,000 for the Indian River Lagoon, not counting need-based money if awarded.

Fielding said creation of the council would greatly help Posey and Murphy get the 114th Congress to act on that bill and other federal efforts to restore the Indian River Lagoon.

“By coming together, we have allowed our congressional representatives to be more accepted by their peers in the support, the financial support,” Fielding said.

“If that (federal) money was going to one county, one city, there’s resistance to that.”

The proposed council would have no taxing or regulatory power. It will only be able to allocate funds given by other bodies. However, Fielding said it’ll likely serve an ancillary, but important, role.

“That management group, which would be composed of the policy board as well, that group will recognize the levels and sources of pollution,” Fielding said. We’ll get research from the groups doing the monitoring. I’m an idealist.

We would then accept responsibilities.”

Fielding offered a hypothetical example: “‘OK, Martin County, here’s what’s happening — you have septic (tanks causing pollution).’

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Tourist Development Tax is distinctive in that it promotes St. Lucie County tourism. Revenue derived from the tax is used for maintenance, improvements, debt service on the St. Lucie County Sports Complex and tourism promotion.

St. Lucie County voters approved a law authorizing the tax of the local option tourist development tax within its boundaries in 1984. The Tourist Development Tax is authorized by the Florida Statutes and levied by nearly all coastal and larger inland counties in Florida.

The tax applies to rentals or leases spanning six months or less. Accommodations include houses, hotels, motels, apartments, rooming houses, mobile home parks, recreational vehicle parks or condominiums. The tax rate in St. Lucie County is 5 percent and is separate from the Florida Department of Revenue’s 6.5 percent sales tax on shortterm rentals.

“We are responsible for collecting, administering and enforcing the Tourist Development Tax,” said Chris Craft, St. Lucie County Tax Collector. “The revenue collected from the tax promotes tourism in our county, which brings more prospective renters to our coastal retreat.”

The Tourist Development Tax, with annual proceeds up to $2.5 million, promotes St. Lucie County tourism. This promotion invites potential short-term residents to the area, leaving a positive impact

Wal-Mart employee Gather toGether charged with theft at our place, from workplace your way Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER

bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com

PORT ST. LUCIE — She’s charged with biting the hand that fed her.

Gatlin Boulevard Wal-Mart employee, Amanda Lynn Nunez, 19, was arrested on 10 counts of grand theft and one count of fraud for uploading a total of $5,000 to 10 prepaid VISA cards and not paying for them, according to a police report.

On Jan. 11, an assistant store manager noticed the store’s cash office was short $504.94 from the previous day’s business receipts.

Wal-Mart’s district loss-prevention supervisor Candy Allen conducted an investigation and found that Nunez was responsible.

Nunez took a prepaid VISA card off the rack next to her register, activated it and uploaded $500 to the card without putting any money into the register, the report says.

Allen reviewed footage from Dec. 18 – Jan. 12, Nunez’s total time of employment, and found nine other instances in which Nunez did the same thing, with no cus-

RESCUE from page A3 into a lake getting groceries,’ he said. “I thought about if it were my dad or grandfather. He was still alive a few more days, and his family got to spend more time with him.”

Brieske’s actions did not go unnoticed. The son of Delores, a bookkeeper at St. Bernadette Church in St, Lucie West, and Derek, a Martin County sheriff’s investigator, he began hearing from people around the world.

“It was overwhelming,” he said, “The first two or three days, the phone rang non-stop. The morning after, it was on ‘Good Morning America.’ The first story was about

what happened and it went international overnight. Within 30 minutes, ABC. Fox and NBC called.

I was reluctant, at first, but my dad told me I should because it would be an inspiration for young people.

Brieske eventually accepted an invitation to appear on Fox & Friends.

Most of the attention has died down now, and Brieske is back at school for the new semester.

“My dream is to become an ER physician or surgeon.” he said. “It’s still hard to believe it happened. I had to watch the video to believe it took place. People call me a hero.

I don’t think I’m a hero at all. It’s something everyone would do. It’s amazing how it transpired. Thank God I had that hammer.”

Port St Lucie, FL- The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have generic names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects.

As you can see in Figure 2 , as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage then your condition can been treated

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy three factors must be determined.

1. What is the underlying cause?

2. How Much Nerve Damage Has Been Sustained.

NOTE: Once you have sustained 85% nerve loss, there is nothing that we can do for you.

3. How much treatment will your condition require?

The treatment that is provided at our clinic has three main goals: 1. Increase blood flow

The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here on the Treasure Coast that offers you hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neruopathy severity examination at the end of this article)

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

Dr. John Silva at our Functional Medicine Practice will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $70. This neuropathy severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing and a detailed analysis of the findings of your neuropathy.

TREASURE COAST — Martin Health pharmacist Deb Antoon first met Treasure Coast resident John Grimmer at the urging of his primary care physician. Grimmer had been on oral medications for his diabetes but was transitioning to insulin injections. His physician, Dr. Julia Trautschold, MD, wanted Antoon to review John’s medications with him and offer education and support.

Antoon began meeting with Grimmer on a regular basis as part of a new, innovative Martin Health service called Comprehensive Health Management. Developed early last year to help manage the health of patients who have complex, chronic disease such as diabetes obesity, heart and lung disease, comprehensive health management presents a transformative new role for pharmacists by bringing them into the primary care practice.

“When patients have multiple chronic conditions and more than five or six medications, their care becomes very complicated,” said Dave Harlow, assistant vice president for professional services and chief pharmacy officer at Martin Health. “These patients need a personal advocate who understands their conditions and the prescriptions they take and can engage them in taking control of their health.”

Two Martin Health pharmacists currently serve 12 primary care physicians within Martin Medical Group. During the past year, these pharmacists have served 141 patients and made a total of 373 office visits and hundreds of follow-up phone calls to check on their patients. They have also started working with the organization’s hospitalists to explore how they can help prevent readmissions for chronically ill patients.

Your Career Begins with US!

HEALTH from page A18 “This is a progressive approach to the management of complex chronic diseases,” Harlow said.

“Physicians and health care systems are under increasing pressure to produce quality outcomes for their patients. With 75 percent of all health care dollars spent on patients with one or more chronic conditions, meeting the complex needs of these patients is the single greatest challenge in this new health care landscape.”

With homes in both Florida and Indiana and several different physicians involved in his health care, Grimmer experienced something shared by many older people with chronic health conditions — lack of care coordination.

Grimmer’s doctors were separated both geographically and by different electronic medical record systems. The 84-year-old needed a knowledgeable clinician who understood his medical needs and medications and could provide consistent oversight of his care.

Antoon worked with Grimmer for six to eight weeks, helping him adjust his diet and physical activity along with his new insulin.

Then a gall bladder infection led to a month-long hospital stay at Martin Medical Center. “I felt drained,” Grimmer said. “That was the beginning of the trouble with my heart.”

Antoon visited her patient in the hospital and helped coordinate his medications. Grimmer was diagnosed with congestive heart failure but returned to Indiana for the summer with Antoon continuing to call him twice a month to check up on him.

“We touched base regularly so I could see how he was feeling and record any changes in his medical record,” she said.

With expertise in medication management and the ability to offer intensive direct patient care, Martin Health pharmacists, like Antoon, help prevent exacerba-

tions of symptoms and/or complications. They may also refer patients to other resources within the health system. The result is quality outcomes for patients. In a period of just six months, the pharmacists made 258 interventions that included lifestyle education and identified 164 problems such as adverse reactions to medications or incorrect dosages being taken.

“I have seen a big difference in John,” Antoon said. “In addition to his blood glucose levels improving, he knows what questions to ask and how to take care of himself. He has a positive outlook and is very engaged in his health care.”

By working more closely with patients in the primary care office, Martin Health pharmacists are making a significant difference for patients and helping to make the entire patient care team more effective and efficient.

Dr. Paul Gaeta, a Martin Medical Group physician, has referred patients to the service and values the support.

“When patients are taking multiple medications for different diseases, it’s difficult for them to process all of the information we give them,” he said. “With the pharmacists’ help, our patients become active participants in their health care—and that has made a huge difference.”

John Grimmer couldn’t agree more.

“Thanks to Deb’s diligence, I feel really good,” he said. “She really makes you feel special.”

Martin Health System is a not-for-profit, community-based health care organization in Stuart, that has served the region for 75 years. It offers a continuum of care including preventive, primary and acute hospital care, as well as cancer and cardiac care, wellness and rehabilitation services. Its approximately 3,800 associates, 400 affiliated physicians and 900 volunteers provide care at 13 different locations serving Martin and St. Lucie counties.

TREASURE COAST z First Tee of the Treasure Coast gives area youth a chance to learn much of the same values that Boy or Girl Scouts do but with a golf-geared lesson.

First Tee has been around since 1997 when it was started by Tim Finchem, current Professional Golfing Association Tour Commissioner, as a way to grow the game when Tiger Woods was beginning his ascent to being one of the game’s all-time greats, First Tee of the Treasure Coast Chairman Andrew Hunt said.

“This started out as a push to engage inner-city kids … to give them an opportunity to learn the game,” Hunt said.

“This is not a golf program. This is a character, education and life skills program. In a lot of ways, you find out a lot about a person

by playing golf with them for 18 holes — whether they are able to control their tempers, the ups and downs, the ebb and flow, the highs and lows. And, you find out about different personalities,” he said.

The First Tee looks to help kids control those emotions when things get tough, along with many other life lessons.

Understanding golf course etiquette is one of the most important things for new golfers, said Carl Mistretta, executive director of the First Tee of the Treasure Coast.

“We leave the place better than we found it,” he said. “The First Tee is very similar to scouting … we get them at a very young age and they stay through high school. You advance through the different ranks.”

tary knowledge of golf. Golf skills aren’t as important as attitude and knowing the basics.

“A big part part of the early stages of the First Tee is meeting someone, shaking their hand, looking them in the eye, taking off your hat, having a conversation with them,” Mistretta said.

Players are also taught how to respect their peers, themselves and their surroundings.

When a kid is signed up, he or she is eligible for nine sessions, with each one teaching a different life skill or value. It generally takes about three nine-week sessions, or two years, for a kid to move up to a new rank, which are classified as Player, Par, Birdie, Eagle and Ace. First Tee is in all Boys & Girls Clubs in Martin County, and it’s working on getting more involved in St. Lucie County. They’ve also partnered with the Police Athletic League in Port St. Lucie.

Joint grants with the Boys & Girls Clubs help fund it in Martin County, and, overall, First Tee funds its outreach program through its fundraising, partner donations and grants, Mistretta said.

“The only thing we ask our partners to do is get the kids to the golf courses.”

There are also nine-session programs for $120 that are open to the public, and they play along with everyone from the outreach programs.

“We got kids who are brought to us on a bus who aren’t sure they are going to eat dinner, so if we give them a snack, it might be the last meal of the day (for him, and he’s) next to a kid who may have gotten dropped off by his dad in a BMW, but they don’t know the difference. They are standing next to each other, hitting balls.

They’re just golfers,” Mistretta said.

Rather than kids from low-income families being turned off by playing the expensive game, Mis-

tretta said First Tee instructors use the pricey sport as motivation.

“It’s a commitment, and it’s expensive. That’s our sport. We present it to the kids, and we tell them, there’s no reason every one of you can’t be a member at a place like this.

“We use golf to say, ‘Yeah, this is an expensive sport, but there’s no reason you can’t make something of yourself and join this club.’

Half of them never been to these places. I bring them sometimes to an event, and the club sets up a buffet, and they’re like, ‘We’re eating that?’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, grab a plate.’”

Hunt said it’s all about getting a new generation of golfers interested in the game.

“There aren’t as many golfers as there were 15 years ago. I don’t know what the exact statistics are, but we’re losing participation. So we need to grow a whole new generation, and what better way to grow a whole new generation of new golfers than to teach life skills and courtesy.”

Treasure Coast First Tee director of operations, Chuck Knebels, said there are more competitive opportunities, if a golfer wishes to pursue them.

“The First Tee is a more developmental thing and not competitive, but, as they get better, the competitive avenue is available.”

Players get to apply for two academies. The first one is for kids whom directors think are going to do well as leaders and go to bigname schools.

There are also competitive players academies, with the most notable involving an annual, all-expense paid trip to the acclaimed Pebble Beach course in California for 81 First Tee members nationwide.

“They are basically treated like a tour pro,” Mistretta said.

In the past two years, two local First Tee members went on the Pebble Beach trip.

They also have a veterans-with-disabilities program in

which veterans can learn to play golf.

“A lot of that stuff we do is 1-on1 or 2-on-1, and we teach them how to play golf,” Mistretta said.

The veteran’s program is fully funded by a $30,000 grant that moves throughout the four counties they are in. Most recently it was in Palm Beach County because of the veterans medical center there, but it moves, based on need. So, once the new veterans nursing home facility opens in Tradition, it may see more play locally.

“We’re in the golf capital of the world, so it’s all here,” Mistretta said.

YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

‘Babes’ return to celebrate life Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Four Bitchin’ Babes have been together for 25 years, and while some of the personnel has changed, the four singer/songwriters have seen themselves-and us-through marriages, divorces, births, raising children, deaths of parents, home repairs, health scares and unemployment.

Now they are bringing the “Best of the Babes” to the Sunrise Theatre for an anniversary show.

Sally Fingerett, an original Babe, spoke recently about the 25-year wild ride that includes nine recordings with titles like “Fax it! Charge it! Don’t Ask me What’s for Dinner!” “Diva Nation,” “Hormonal Imbalance,” and “Mid Life Vices.”

“It’s things from some of the most requested shows,” she said.

“We’re mixing it up. They’re fan favorites.”

Fingerett is an original Babe; the two other long-time members are Debi Smith, who joined in 1994 and Deirdre Flint, who signed on in2004.

“We’re the core,” Fingerett said.

“We’re good friends and we have musical and social alchemy.”

For this special tour, they will be joined by former Babe Nancy Moran and revolving guests who include original Babe Megon Mc-

Donough.

Through the years, as the Babes have matured, their material has changed.

“It’s issues of women,” Fingerett said. “We know which are most enjoyed and related to. The standards the Babes have set continues. It’s the best of the best.’

Fingerett said that the show,

while a favorite for ladies’ nights out, is also popular with men.

“It’s a man-friendly show,” she said. “Comedy doesn’t know gender. We’re laughing at ourselves.

Men appreciate women who don’t take themselves so seriously. It’s a look into the inner sanctum.

It’s nothing they haven’t heard.

It’s just that they haven’t heard it
