Community conversation focuses on education and outreach

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — In the first of three St. Lucie County Education Foundation community conversations, the talk was for a need to increase community outreach. More business partnerships are needed in the county for students to get real-world experience, St. Lucie Schools Superintendent Genelle Yost said Oct. 21 at the luncheon held at the St. Lucie West branch of Indian River State College. Those partnerships could help get area students to college, and attracting them back to the area to take internships over summer could motivate them to stay in the community post-college, Yost said. “It is our mission as a public school system to make certain that every student graduates from a safe and caring school, equipped with the knowledge to take them either into a career or their collegiate track,” Yost said. “We don’t do this alone. We do this with partnerships in our community. We have to collaborate. The village needs to raise the child.” Some county high schools already have opportunities for students to work with and study at area organizations. Any high

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Many dancers dance simply because they want to — fame and recognition are afterthoughts — but
iShine Dance Company dancers have the chance to showcase their talents to the nation. A group of 25 area dancers, ages 2–36, will be taking their talents to Tampa Nov. 2 to audition for the television show “America’s Got Talent.”

Then I met Joe Mutter and the war was over. Joe is a Hearing Aid SPECIALIST, sent to me by God. I think about all of the money I wasted on these other hearing aids and it just breaks my heart.

New initiative takes aim at aging Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PORT ST. LUCIE — Richard Jove took over as director of the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute of Florida more than a year ago, and it has been a time of challenges and hope. “It’s been very exciting, a great ride,” Jove said. “There’s been a lot of promise and a lot of challenges. The biggest challenge has been the sequestration.” The budget sequestration of 2013 cut funding from government agencies, including the National Institutes of Health. “We felt the impact immediately,” Jove said. “Within a few months, we were losing major grants that didn’t get funded. The challenge has been finding new sources of research funding because of dramatically reduced NIH funding.” The upside of the new position has been the progress made in research to find preventions and treatments of illnesses including cancer, influenza and other viral diseases and side effects of aging. VGTI Florida recent-
ly announced the launch of its Center for Diseases of Aging, an initiative to discover ways to boost aging immune systems and deal with illnesses that affect the elderly. With an investment of $3 million from the State of Florida, VGTI Florida researchers will collaborate with medical scientists from Sweden’s famed Karolinska Institutet on these programs. Karolinska Institutet is the body that awards the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. For Jove, the new initiative is in keeping with the needs of the area in which it is located. “I felt we needed to be relevant to the state of Florida,” he said. “We want to have the greatest positive impact on the taxpayers. “Taxpayers are supporting this research and they have a right to know what we’re doing and a right to insist it be helpful to them. Heck, it’s their money. Aging is a chronic disease we all have.” The researchers will collaborate on areas that include cardiovascular disease, cancer immunotherapy and degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. In the
Richard Jove heart, it might mean replacing or regenerating damaged heart tissue after a heart attack. “The goal is not necessarily to live longer but to improve the quality of life and productivity as we age,” Jove said. Among the possible treatments is the use of lab-generated, genetically-modified stem cells. “You take the stem cell and by
adding a combination of genes, it has the capacity to become anything — a heart or a brain,” Jove said. “You put it back into the patient once it is reprogrammed to be a heart or brain cell. It repairs and regenerates damaged tissue. This is a major approach of the future and one I find most interesting.” Jove has a doctorate in molecular biology from Columbia University and did post-doctoral work at Rockefeller University. His field is viral oncology and cancer research remains his passion. Research is ongoing in the search for vaccines for breast and ovarian cancer, both as prevention and to prevent recurrence. “What’s been happening is that the field has been making a lot of progress in boosting the immune system as a response against tumor cells,” Jove said. “There are checkpoints, like the (PD)-1 molecule, that block an anti-tumor immune response. We must regulate the checkpoints to allow the immune system to attack the tumor. Tumor cells have a stealthy way of

Editor’s note: Your Voice News & Views invited candidates in local races to tell voters why he or she is the best candidate for the offices they’re seeking. Some chose not to respond. Information from candidates who responded appears on the next several pages. Your Voice News & Views encourages readers to exercise their Constitutional right to choose their representatives. Please vote between now and Election Day, Nov. 2.
JoAnn Faiella: candidate for Port St. Lucie Mayor My name is JoAnn Faiella. Like you, I am a caring member of our community- a member who is passionate enough to be your voice and strong enough to live under the microscope of constant scrutiny. I am confident I remain your best choice for mayor. Why am I the best choice? Because I’m not a politician, and I don’t let politics interfere with decisions that are in the best interest of our residents and business owners. When I first won election, I upset the political insiders and their plans of succession. I remain amazed at the number of attacks and fabricated lawsuits, which I must point out, have either been dismissed or found “not guilty.” These are

nothing more than calculated attacks by my enemies. As your mayor, I prefer to stay focused on moving Port St Lucie forward. During my first term, I voted not raise your taxes on multiple occasions because we have to be more efficient with our budgets, not just continue to throw more of our taxpayer dollars at every problem. I opposed sober/detox homes

OUR MISSION We are here to provide our readers with completely unbiased news coverage. Fun and entertaining features about the communities in which they live. For our advertising partners we pledge to provide the most complete consultative and marketing programs possible for the best return on their investments.
In August’s primary election, 77 percent of voters cast their ballots for a new mayor, sending a clear message that we need change. Thanks to great community support, we won the primary by a 2:1 margin; and, as we approach the runoff on Nov. 4, our growing team and I are working as hard as we can to earn your vote again or for the very first time. I want to go to work for you because I’m inspired by what we could become and believe that if we had the right leadership and values; if we utilized strategic planning and good decision-making; if we worked together and were accountable, we could make Port St. Lucie a great place to live, learn, work and play — a city for all ages and all people. I appreciate this opportunity to share a vision for our future and some of the reasons to vote “Oravec for Mayor.” reasons which include values, qualifications and proven leadership. Values are more than just words. They’re the foundation of a good life and should be the foundation of good government. I believe in hard work, excellence, integrity, service and accountability, and my dedication to these values has been proven through 18 years of living in the fishbowl of public service and is reflected in the number of community leaders supporting my candidacy. Please allow me to restore these values to the mayor’s office. I graduated cum laude from the honors program of the University of Miami where I studied marine and political sciences. Before graduating, I began a career in local government which has spanned the last 18 years. In my appointments as a city planner, redevelopment director, assistant city manager and city manager, I have learned the ins and outs
of government, prepared $100 million budgets, managed more than 1,000 employees and proven that I can successfully lead large groups. With your help, we can put these values, qualifications and leadership to work on a platform that will deliver our vision for our community. We can: • Lower taxes, reduce debt and be an award-winning, safe, clean and beautiful city. • Transform the challenges of City Center and Digital Domain into new jobs. • Partner with our neighbors and sister governments to create jobs; improve our schools; build sidewalks; promote a university and Mets Stadium; preserve our agricultural and natural areas; and save our River. Can you imagine what our city will look like when we successfully implement this platform? I can, and I would like to work with you to make it happen. In one year as your city manager, I was able to draft a budget which lowered your tax rate, increased financial reserves, put police officers back to work and made capital projects like the Southbend Roundabout and Fairgreen Road Extension come to life even though others said it couldn’t be done. Imagine what we could do in a four-year term! To learn more or to share ideas, please visit www.OravecForMayor.com or call (772) 342-6072. Thank you! Greg Oravec is a candidate for mayor of Port St. Lucie.

Rob Siedlecki: candidate for Florida Legislature District 84
My name is Rob Siedlecki, and I am running for the Florida State House in District 84, which covers large parts of Port St. Lucie (including all of St. Lucie West) and Fort Pierce. I am running because I want to finally bring effective leadership to our district and use my state and federal government experience to benefit our residents. As for my background, I moved to south Florida when I was 8 and graduated from high school here in 1987. After graduating from Harvard College (B.A. 1991) and Cornell Law School (J.D. 1995), I practiced business law and donated much of my free time to helping nonprofit and other community organizations. I then had the privilege of serving for almost six years in the federal government at the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Task Force for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives at the U.S.

Department of Justice. Upon completing my federal service, I served for almost five years in state government in Florida and Kansas as a Secretary, Assistant Secretary and Chief of Staff of large health and human service departments. I managed billion dollar budgets and thousands of employees and was able to save taxpayers millions of dollars by implementing tough anti-fraud, waste and abuse initiatives, eliminating non-performing contracts, and holding government providers accountable for producing the goods and services they promised. Some of the issues I want to focus on if elected are bringing more and better jobs to our area, improving the condition of our fragile environment and

by the Legislature. I am happy that, along with other local Legislators, we were able to secure additional funding to address this threat. I will continue to work with both parties, the River Coalition and all interested citizens to protect our natural resources. I am proud to have advocated for funding our new research industries and for providing literacy programs in our poorest communities. I am also proud to have played a leading role, working in a bi-partisan manner, to ensure that St. Lucie County will be the home of Florida’s seventh veteran’s nursing home. Last term, I served on the Florida House Regulatory Affairs Committee as well as the Agriculture & Natural Resources, Education Appropriations and Insurance & Banking Subcommittees. While on the Insurance and Banking Subcommittee, we worked on a bill that depopulated Citizens Insurance Company. This bill encouraged insurance companies to return to Florida, thereby increasing competition which is expected to make property insurance more affordable and available.
While we made progress, there is more that our committee can and plans to do. I believe that education is the key to success in life. St. Lucie County is where my wife of 36 years, Alice, and I raised our daughter, Tasha. Alice worked 32 years as an educator in the St. Lucie County School District. Tasha is a graduate of Lincoln Park Academy and recently completed her PhD in neuroscience. I know and appreciate the value of a public education and educators. It is essential that in Florida, we provide our children a quality public education, our educators with meaningful support and our graduates with employment opportunities. I love St. Lucie County, and I pledge to work with members of our local delegation to bring jobs to St. Lucie County. In closing, I ask not only for your vote but also for your support by joining me as we work together on community and state issues. Rep. Larry Lee is the current state representative for District 84. He is seeking re-election for a second term.

protecting our seniors and veterans. Historically, St. Lucie County has always had higher unemployment rates because of our dependence on the tourism and construction industries; to bring more and better jobs to our area, we need to diversify our economic base with more high tech and biomedical jobs, give stronger support to Enterprise Florida (our state’s public/private partnership that works to have out-of-state companies relocate or expand in Florida), better promote medical tourism in our county and cut our state’s corporate income tax rate. As for the environment, we need to better protect the Indian River Lagoon, the St. Lucie River and our other water resources as our public health and our boating, fishing and recreation industries depend on them. We need to stop the discharges of polluted water from Lake Okeechobee (which reached over a billion gallons a day last year), and we need to clean up the damages already caused by such pollution. Importantly, I will fight to protect and support our seniors and veterans. Our seniors are entitled to the state and local benefits that have earned, whether Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and I will do all I can to make sure they get them. As for our veterans, they are served our country to allow us to live in freedom, and we must do all we can for them. In particular, I will fight for their right to the receive the medical they need when they need it, rather than wait years, or even die, before they get help. So I humbly ask for your support this Nov. 4 or if you vote early or by mail. I will do all I can bring effective leadership to our area and with your support, I can win. Thank you and God bless. Rob Siedlecki is a candidate for Florida’s District 84.
in our neighborhoods because, while we must have places for people to get help, our family neighborhoods are not the place. I also opposed refinancing the Digital Domain debt. I voted to turn it over to private investors who could have sold it off and generated revenue for the city instead of throwing more of our tax dollars at a problem we should never have been stuck with. My opponent would have you believe he’s a sharp, dedicated professional who can get the job done. Take a look at his work history and that story falls apart. While working for the city he left three times; twice because he didn’t get his way and once so he could raid his retirement account only to get rehired one week later. Mr. Oravec’s resume shows he held eight jobs in 11 years before joining the city as assistant city manager. You don’t want a quitter as mayor, someone who is quick to act out and ill-tempered. I am not a quitter and through everything that has been thrown at me, I am still here. I worked with law enforcement and legislators to create Brittany’s Law. (Editor’s note: Brittany’s Law allows law enforcement authorities to hold a person charged as a sex offender or sexual predator until
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM his or her first appearance in court instead of being released on bond, allowing authorities time to look into the suspect’s history leading up to the arrest.) I helped bring large retail business to our city and worked with commissioners to get the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs to select our city for its newest nursing home. Many small businesses have made Port St Lucie their home, as well. This has created and will continue to bring living wages, long-term jobs to our city so we can grow with confidence. I’ve helped move Port St. Lucie in the right, “quality of life,” direction. Last July, Forbes.com named our city the 8th Best City for Job Growth in the country, one of the 25 Best Places to Retire and one of the 200 Best Places for Business & Careers. Unemployment was 14 percent in 2010, and now it’s 7.2 percent and dropping. We have the lowest crime rate for any Florida city with a population over 100,000 people. Visit my website for more at www.VoteForFaiella.com There’s still much work to be done. A vote for me will ensure that we keep our city moving in the right direction. JoAnn Faiella is Port St. Lucie’s current mayor and is running for her second term.

Carl Domino, candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, District 18 I know the value and rewards of hard work and the gift of the American Dream. I completed active duty service as a Naval Officer in Vietnam and retired as a Commander. I built two successful companies, creating jobs and opportunity for the Palm Beach Treasure Coast region. In 2002, I was elected to the Florida House, where I introduced “portability,” allowing homeowners transfer their property tax benefits to a newer property. I was the only elected official to stand firm against Governor Crist and the Digital Domain fiasco. - Carl Domino

I am also focused on using my CPA and small business experience to get our nation’s fiscal house in order, putting forward bipartisan legislation to cut $330 billion in wasteful government spending. I remain committed to building a brighter future for Florida’s 18th district, serving as an independent voice for our community. -Patrick Murphy

OUTREACH from page A1
St. Lucie Schools Superintendent Genelle Yost listens to a question posed by an audience member Oct. 21 at the first of three St. Lucie County Education Foundation community conversations at Indian River State College’s St. Lucie West Campus.
school student can attend some of those programs even if he or she doesn’t attend that particular high school. Fort Pierce Central has a partnership with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University to teach students who would like to learn more about the aviation industry and earn college credits at no cost to the student. There’s also a program held at Fort Pierce Westwood that allows students to earn credits at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution if they want to pursue marine studies. To get the message out, the district will partake in future community talks — the first being six months away — and also increase its social media presence. “We’re getting heavily involved in our use of social media,” Yost said. The district is using Facebook more to connect with businessmen and women. According to the district’s statistics, 85 percent of the district’s Facebook activity comes from women. Twitter engagement has garnered mostly businessmen viewing the district’s tweets, Yost said. Some skeptics said the district has not done enough to get its message out. That may be because the district may not be fully-equipped to get that message out. It does not have any public information specialists to focus on spreading the message full-time, Yost said. Voss & Associates, a marketing company based in Dallas, handles public outreach for now. Yost said there may be one hired in the coming months.

High school teams looking to secure playoff bids Fort Pierce Central High School wide receiver Nehari Crawford and his team have two more home games remaining in the regular season before they can look forward to their post-season options.
Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER
bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Despite having losing records, St. Lucie West Centennial and Fort Pierce Central High School are each looking to secure playoff spots going into the final week of District 8-8A play. Each team is 1-1 in the district, following their Oct. 17 matchup in which Central (3-4) defeated Centennial 42-6. Both teams have a week off and will resume playing on Oct. 31. Following the win, Central head coach Josh Shaffer said the team has had a relaxed week because of the bye week. Central’s odds are in their favor, going into their Oct. 31 clash with Treasure Coast High School, which hasn’t won this season. “We’ve got to play good defense, and we’ve done a good job at that,” Shaffer said. Central held Centennial (2-5) to 123 total yards on offense in their matchup and held Centennial running back Basil Bradshaw to a season-low 9 rushing yards. The key though, will be keeping offensive

With the intrinsic ones, cancer genes or oncogenes like HER2 get turned on, like the accelerator on a gas pedal, and the tumor suppressor genes get turned off. Mutations in the genes like the familiar BRCA 1 and 2 inactivate and deregulate them and accelerate breast and ovarian cancers.” Immunotherapy is intended to let the body’s own immune system generate an immune response. One such treatment, Herceptin, is already in use for certain breast cancers where the oncogene HER2 is overexpressed. The tumor is overexpressing HER2, but the immune cells are no longer recognizing the tumor cells,” Jove said. The brakes are off. With immunotherapy, the immune cells would recognize the overexpression and would attack that.” The standard of care for breast cancer is chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Keith Knutson, a cancer researcher at VGTI Florida is working on a synthetic vaccine targeted against HER2.
“Keith’s vaccine is ideal for a clinical trial after the standard of care treatment for the primary tumor, Jove said. “Cancer immunotherapy is still experimental and while it shows tremendous promise, it is hard to tell someone not to take the standard of care. Trials will see if the vaccine prevents metastases. It can be used, not only as prevention, but when other treatments have failed. Keith is now talking with various hospitals and companies that can support trials to start doing Phase II trials that test efficacy. We’re planning to do it in hospitals and clinics in Florida. It’s well on its way to expanded trials. It’s very exciting. I’m very hopeful about Keith’s vaccine. I expect we’ll hear a lot over the next several years, a lot of good news.” It was impossible to talk with Richard Jove and not ask him about the current Ebola situation and the misunderstandings about vaccines that have made parents choose not to have their children vaccinated against common diseases of childhood. “One of the things that’s happened in recent years is that vaccines have fallen in use,” he said. “The fears have not been scientifically or clinically proven. When people don’t get vaccines, they are not only putting
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM themselves at risk but others. They are the best way to control infectious diseases. People have irrational fears, and they are hurting themselves and society as a whole. “Vaccines are the single greatest impact as a therapeutic modality on the health of humans in the history of humankind. It’s saved more lives. (It’s important) to get a flu shot. They’re very safe and 40,000-50,000 people die unnecessarily every year from the flu in the United States. If one person doesn’t get it, that person can infect many others.” While Ebola is not his field of expertise, Jove said that there is research going on for a vaccine. “It’s normal to overreact when there’s fear,” he said. “People (feel) they can’t protect themselves, and it’s a normal human reaction. There’s a lot of research going on and Obama has just appointed a czar. Things will move after a slow start. It shows the importance of federal funding. Nobody cared and nobody funded the research. Now that it’s closer to home, it’s a good example of why we need to put funds into emerging viral areas.” For more information about VGTI Florida, visit the website www. vgtifl.org.

mistakes to a minimum, as the team did during the Centennial matchup, Shaffer said. “We need to come away with touchdowns when we’re in the red zone. We can’t settle for field goals, and we can’t turn the ball over.” Shaffer will be back on the sidelines against Treasure Coast after serving a one-game suspension after getting ejected from an Oct. 10 game against Mandarin High School for getting two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties from arguing calls. He said he won’t be more reserved, though. “Absolutely not. In fact, I’m even more passionate about it than before. (The referees) don’t like to be questioned, so they didn’t appreciate that,” he said. Tough road ahead Centennial has a tougher task, on paper, going against firstplace district foe Vero Beach High School (7-0, 2-0 in district play). Centennial head coach Ron Parker has had a different approach than Shaffer, having the team practice in full pads during the bye-week. “We’re just trying to make sure we are up on our responsibilities,” he said. “We made it hard on ourselves.”
“We need to come away with touchdowns when we’re in the red zone. We can’t settle for field goals, and we can’t turn the ball over.” Josh Shaffer Head Coach Fort Pierce Central High School Some blown coverage assignments made it hard to stop Central’s passing attack, which accounted for 279 yards in their last game. “If somebody’s breaking down on defense and not doing what they’re supposed to, then you’re making it harder on everyone else,” Parker said. The team also had problems running in the correct lanes when rushing the ball on offense, Parker said. Despite the last game, Parker said practice has gone well and he feels good about the matchup against Vero Beach because of the effort from his players. “They’ve been on time, they’ve worked hard and have done everything we’ve asked them to do. “Last year Javid (Ellis) had 217 rushing yards against them, so we feel pretty good,” he said. Ellis, the team’s starting quarterback, said, while it was nice to have a nice game on the ground in last year’s 37-33 loss to Vero, he wants a win. “We need a win … we need to T R E A S U R I N G

St. Lucie West Blvd.
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A local real estate company is among the best at getting homeowners the maximum market exposure when they decide to sell. According to statistics submitted by real estate companies in 2013, The Keyes Company, based in Miami and with a branch along Southwest Gatlin Boulevard in Port St. Lucie, was a part of the top-selling real estate group, bringing in $314 billion. The group, called Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, edged out bigger companies like Coldwell Banker, RE/MAX and Prudential. Mike Pappas, the company’s president, said the company’s connection to a larger conglomerate of real estate companies helps customers get the most exposure for their homes while still feeling
like they are dealing with a small, family-owned business. “That’s what we are. We’re a large, regional, family-owned business,” he said. “That network, though, can attract buyers from all over.” Deb Shockley, Port St. Lucie district sales manager, said Keyes posts homes on more than 900 websites to get buyers’ attention. “We want to make sure our listings are positioned in the marketplace,” Shockley said. “We know that nearly 90 percent of buyers start their search online before they talk to a Realtor.” Keyes has 35 branches across south Florida and has been in business for 89 years. Today, it has about 2,400 associates. Locally, the company has about 40 associates, but is looking to grow to 80-plus in Port St. Lucie, with a potential future office targeted along Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard.

The expansion would coincide with a rebounding market, Pappas said. “We’re bullish on south Florida. There are 700 people moving here every day. We’re out of the great recession, so we’re seeing a growing market and that allows us to grow,” he said. Other ventures have allowed the company to grow, Shockley said. The company offers mortgage, Insurance, title, concierge and property management services. Keyes is also a member of a luxury home network that specializes in selling homes valued at more than $500,000. “We really have a one-stop shop for our customers,” Shockley said. Shockley will be the one leading the branch through its growth period, and she’s well-positioned to do so. She has been in the industry more than 30 years, with 25 of those working at the management level. As someone who’s been a broker in Colorado, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, Shockley said she’s had a range of experience in marketing homes to every type of person and in coaching real estate agents. “Our integrity is No. 1. The most important thing every day is being ethical and honest in what we do,” she said.

Family comedy speaks to all Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The upcoming play at the Pineapple Playhouse has a head-shaking title. The Steve Franco comedy, “In-Laws, Outlaws & Other People (That should be Shot” will be presented Nov. 6-23. Dawn Achin, president of the Pineapple’s board and the play’s director, said it was chosen for several reasons. “I was the chair of the play-reading committee last year. We were researching some newer shows and the name caught my eye. How could it not? It was published in the last few years and was written by Steve Franco, a high school drama teacher from Virginia. It’s exciting for us to be able to stage a new show that hasn’t been done in the area.” The play takes place during a family Christmas Eve dinner. Two inept robbers burst in and hold the family hostage.
Photo courtesy of the Pineapple Playhouse The cast of the comedy, ‘In-Laws, Outlaws & Other People (That should be Shot)’ rehearse a scene at the Pineapple Playhouse. The play will be presented Nov. 6-23 at the theater in Fort Pierce. “It’s a big, loud, raucous family comedy,” Achin said. “It’s about blood family, neighborhood family and the family of friends. That’s what attracted me to it. The theater becomes your family. It all ties together, especially at the holidays.” In this show, family dysfunction is on display, front and center. The feeling many have when they go home for the holidays is taken to a new level. “Taking the family hostage on
Christmas Eve is now real,” Achin said. “Everyone is aware it’s about family. The biggest goal is to get the audience someone to identify with and elbow each other. It’s definitely something we’re looking forward to, having people say, ‘Yes, this is my family. This is how we are.’” The show itself is a family affair, with two sets of relatives. Rosemary Knight, who had the lead in “Funny Money,” is Bunny Nester and her son, Danny, is one of the
neighbors. “We also have newcomers, sisters Kelli and Tiffani Kinnaman, who play Beth Douglas and Emily Wakowski. A little less than half the cast is new to our stage. That’s something I love to see. I love to expand that part of our family. The rest of the cast includes Alex Yahn as Tom Douglas, Sue Ellen Sanders as Sue Draper,

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Bob Carey, executive director of Sarah’s Kitchen of the Treasure Coast, is pleased to announce that Sarah’s Kitchen has received a $10,000 grant from The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation. “On behalf of all of our volunteers and guests, we thank Dunkin› Donuts & Baskin-Robins for their generous gift. Without support such as this grant, we would not be able to continue our efforts to feed those in need. In spite of the signs of economic recovery, the majory of our population is still struggling financially. Sarah’s Kitchen has seen an increase in the numbers of meals we serve each month,” Carey said. In 2013, Sarah’s Kitchen served over 53,000 hot nutritious meals, and they expect that number to be in excess of 60,000 by the end of the year. Sarah’s Kitchen is an interfaith organization that believes people should put aside doctrinal differences and share God’s love

PGA of America transforms PGA Country Club into ‘St. Lucie Trail Golf Club’ Formerly private club opens its doors to the community, starting Nov. 1 FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
TREASURE COAST — Unveiling a unique and special focus on the local community, PGA Country Club will transform into the open-to-the-public “St. Lucie Trail Golf Club” beginning Nov. 1. The facility and golf course, originally designed by Jim Fazio in 1988, will continue to be owned and operated by the PGA of America, upholding the same maintenance standards as nearby PGA Golf Club. St. Lucie Trail Golf Club has undergone a tremendous revitalization program to its tee boxes, fairways, greens and landscaping over the past 18 months, under the direction of Superintendent Dick Gray, a
protégé of Pete Dye. Accordingly, golfers now have the ability to play a picturesque, 18-hole course for the best value in the local marketplace. “The PGA of America is extremely proud to unveil St. Lucie Trail Golf Club, as golfers from the local community and surrounding counties can now enjoy unparalleled public access to this beautiful course,” said Jimmy Terry, PGA general manager for St. Lucie Trail Golf Club. “In addition, the course will serve as a national testing ground for player development programs originated by the PGA of America, in order to further grow the game, both here in St. Lucie County and across the country.” St. Lucie Trail Golf Club also features a new logo, which pays homage to the local community by incorporating a warm and welcoming green-colored trail.
Rounds will range from $49 in the summer to $89 during the winter season. In addition, an annual, golf-only “Preferred Player Program” that offers unlimited access for $1,995 for a single player and $2,995 for a family (husband, wife and children under 17). Memberships to PGA Golf Club will continue to offer access to four courses — the Wanamaker, Ryder and Dye Courses at PGA Golf Club, in addition to the new St. Lucie Trail Golf Club, which is located at 951 S.W. Country Club Drive, in Port St. Lucie. PGA Golf Club will also remain open for both public and resort play. For more information and reservations, call (800) 800-GOLF or visit PGAVillage.com. For more information on the PGA of America, visit www.PGAMediaCenter.com.

Treasure Coast Food Bank is the only food bank and largest hunger relief agency on the Treasure Coast, providing millions of pounds of food to over 200 charitable organizations in Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Okeechobee counties serving those in need. In addition to food distribution, Treasure Coast Food Bank provides numerous programs that not only solve the immediate problems of hunger, but help individuals and families gain long-term food security.

ZORA from page B8 North 17th Street in Fort Pierce. Cooper’s play depicts Zora’s life, her literary achievements and her final years in Florida. Actors will bring back the Harlem Renaissance period of the 1920s, when Zora won several awards for her writings published in black magazines. She also participated in the Federal Writers Project in Florida during the 1930s, collecting the history of blacks. Many of those interviews are included as stories in Zora’s books. Her most famous book is “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” published in 1937. Finally, Zora returned to Florida in the 1950s, where she worked as a maid in Miami, in a flower shop in Belle Glade, at the Patrick Air Force Base Library and finally arrived in Fort Pierce
