PORT ST. LUCIE — Gov. Rick Scott acted swiftly in response to criminal charges filed on Nov. 19 against Port St. Lucie City Councilman Ron Bowen, handing down an executive order suspending Bowen 48 hours after the scandal was made public by Your Voice News & Views. The order, dated Nov. 27, suspends Bowen without pay from performing any official act or function of public office. Bowen makes Ron Bowen $30,035 annually. “It is in the best interests of the residents of the City of Port St. Lucie, and the citizens of the State of Florida, that Bowen be immediately suspended from the public office which he now holds, upon the grounds set forth in this executive order,” the document states. Last week, three city council members were

Residents rally for typhoon victims Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

TREASURE COAST — As the Philippines death toll from super Typhoon Haiyan continues to rise in excess of 5,000, residents on the Treasure Coast with close ties to the Asian islands are also
mobilizing in great numbers to help in relief efforts. Port St. Lucie resident Daisy McGinnis, a Philippine native and president of the Philippine-American Association of the Treasure Coast, scrambled in the typhoon’s wake to organize a supply drive at the Port St. Lucie Community Center last week.
The drive, which garnered thousands of items from area residents including U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter and Port St. Lucie Mayor JoAnn Faiella, was such a success, McGinnis has planned another event set for Dec. 14 at the same location. The support from different walks of life gives McGinnis hope
that the Philippines will recover. “For me, it was very, very touching considering how great America is, how great people’s hearts in this town are,” McGinnis said. “Everyone came together to help the Philippines — and any country for that matter.”

Joe and Tammy grew up together in the small boarder town of Bluefield W. Va. a short hike and they would be in the small town of Bluefield Va. In the early days Tammy and Joe were inseparable, growing up in the same house with Joe always keeping a watchful eye on his younger niece, who was really more like a sister to him. Celebrating birthdays and holidays together for many years. The two became like one, knowing what the other was thinking or about to say before they even said it. Joe would help Tammy with her school projects and Tammy would help Joe find his lost books or toys or help him wash his bike. They were a team then much like they are today.

Now, Tammy helps Joe with most every aspect of the Hearing Center. Greeting the patients upon arrival with her sparkling personality, working with clients on the proper care and maintenance of their new hearing aids.
our Goal In lIfe Is to Help you Hear better. After 22 years in Law Enforcement Joe decided to refocus his career path. Joe knew he would need to be involved in helping people and searched for a new career that would allow him to move in that direction. Joe’s brother in law worked in the hearing healthcare field and after some considerable research Joe decided to move forward in the hearing healthcare field. After Joe completed his training and schooling he ended his highly decorated career in Law Enforcement and retired from the St. Lucie County Sheriff ’s Office. Joe was licensed in 2002 by the State of Florida as a Hearing Aid Specialist and opened his first practice in St. Lucie West in 2003 and today, continues to help people as he has done his entire professional career. Tammy, in her career as a professional care giver, had seen far too many times the heartbreak of hearing loss. How the loss would impact not just the patient but the loved ones around them as well. Joe worked, went to school, studied and became a Florida State Licensed Hearing Aid Specialist. He knew that improving and restoring hearing to those in need would become his passion and his quest. He also knew that he could think of no one he would rather tackle this challenge with then his trusted best friend, Tammy. Today and for the past 11 years Joe and Tammy are giving back the gift of hearing to friends and neighbors from around the Treasure Coast.

TRADITION — The Pee Wee team of the Treasure Coast Renegades recently won the Super Bowl in their league. It was a remarkable achievement for the 9and 10-year-old football players, because the Renegades was only formed in January 2013. The nonprofit league has more than 300 kids ages 5-13 on age-appropriate football and cheerleading teams. Keith Engler, a Tradition resident who works for Arby’s as a regional director, was one of the league’s founders. He and others, including Bill Vega, assistant chief of police for the Port St. Lucie Police Department and league president, came up with the idea. “We’d been in a local league and decided to strike out on our own,” Engler said. “We wanted an elite, more talented league.

ST. LUCIE WEST — With the holiday shopping season in full swing, it’s important shoppers, gym goers and other motorists lock all valuables in the trunk of their cars, out of sight from thieves looking for an easy heist. Two thieves recently made their way into cars parked at two different gyms in Port St. Lucie and police are asking for the public to help identify the pair. In both incidents, credit cards were stolen from the vehicles and used at three Publix locations in St. Lucie West, Tradition and Port St. Lucie and a Walgreens and Redbox in

St. Lucie West. On Oct. 22, sometime between 7:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., police received a report of a car breakin at Mission Fitness, located at 460 S.W. Port St. Lucie Blvd. The victim told police that when she returned to her car after working out, she noticed that someone had burglarized her car and stole her credit card, which was subsequently used in the western portion of the city. The victim found the driver’s side door on her 2004 Chevy Suburban unlocked. The keyhole appeared to be damaged from a forced entry, Port St. Lucie Police Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. Four days later on Oct. 26,

St. Lucie West needs to secede St.
Lucie West needs to secede from the municipality known as Port St. Lucie, which has no port, is lacking in clarity of vision, and is a woeful example of how not to govern its citizenry! I am sick and tired of how we in St. Lucie West are the cash cow for the town’s ongoing rolling band of political deficits, yet are the zero sum at their dais of doom. Seriously, all we need to do out here is form an exploratory secession committee, hire several of our resident lawyers pro se, dig in our heels, and throw open our windows to scream, “We’re not going to take it anymore!” When St. Lucie West eagerly was assumed into the hall of broken dreams, the city got our huge and growing income stream which they promptly morphed into a BILLION-dollar elephant now on the backs of all of us. Year after year, month after month, newspaper article after article, we read of inept, inexperienced, foolish leadership decisions, yet nothing except the politicians’ names ever change. Therefore, we have to step up to the metaphorical plate and take action on our own behalf. Speaking of plates, has anyone ever driven around home plate out here? Has anyone ever driven around the rows and rows of EMPTY small business units out here by Commerce Drive? What’s being done about the empty store fronts at the Shoppes?
Suzanne Eovaldi Hello? Where is our Gayle Harrell Lady in Waiting out here in District 2? Only a temper fit at the time of the re-election campaign when our Larry Cohen mounted a bid for Councilwoman Berger’s seat did we get St. Lucie West Boulevard repaired, and then only with a slap dash coating of surface application. The comparison between our boulevard with the Westmoreland entry into the PSL Council’s dependable voting bloc is appalling. Lovely plantings, beautiful blooming flowers, well-tended, immaculately groomed landscapes and medians pronounce each day what you get for playing ball with the PSL politicos. While out here, we have to do a two-step to get into the right lane for entry into a lovely but passed over country club, and we have to look at dismal pitiful looking excuses for trees and bushes that sorely need hair

cuts. Drivers get through out here only by luck and pant seats. Look, it’s time to take action, Westerners. Our lovely hospital will be drawing patients from far and wide. Our medical tech centers need the governance, foresight, and financial acumen we can provide, but PSL cannot. We need two more new members on their town council board that never was expanded when we were sucked into their political sinkhole. We need respect and honor given to our very low crime areas, our gated communities made necessary because of unequal governance by politicians who year after year rape our lovely community out here known as St. Lucie West! Look, I’ve never made a lot of money from my three degrees in journalism but covering years of council meetings taught me the verity of the reporter’s axiom: “Citizens get the type of government they deserve!” Only the towns with the informed and involved voters got results from the small Indiana towns I covered. Their politicians would NEVER have pulled some of the affronts we read about Sunday on the Scripps’ pages of disgrace. These 10 blunders and scandals only skim the surface of a history of crazy political antics. Just imagine the silly back and forth of emails, arrests, he said-she said. Who would ever sign a $10 million sales contract without buyer caveats, or then after business failure, turn around
and enter into another $14 million empty paper agreement without SECURITY DEPOSIT protection for taxpayer dollars? We have no security out here in St. Lucie West. We get little to no sincere or interested attention from politicians who only see our lovely town as their credit card without spending limits. Digital Domain happened out here. Tradition Field needs work, as do our roads and byways. Our elderly citizens deserve a voice at the politicos’ microphone. We need to be able to say where we are from without residents in other Florida towns rolling their eyes. Another reporter’s axiom that is so true says: “Silence is Consent.” Seriously, St. Lucie West, let’s form an exploratory committee, and let’s form our own lovely town out here, free of the political mess that never ends. Why keep throwing our good money into their endless sinkhole? We are better than what is going on. We have the know-how, the experienced retired executives, administrators, medical advisers. We have Florida’s newest, most gorgeous cathedral. We can reclaim some of that top-heavy salary stream from educators that operate in the shadows of make nice meetings, smiles, and then out of town commutes to their home communities. No more dry wall flops for us. This is ridiculous! Let’s secede from Port St. Lucie NOW. Suzanne Eovaldi St. Lucie West

plazas to ensure you don’t fall victim to a crime, Sabol said. “Try to park in a well-lit area,” Sabol said. “If shopping at multiple stores, don’t leave items visible in the car, put them in the trunk.” The closer you park to a store entrance, the less likely a vehicle break-in is to occur, Sabol said. “Some people like to park really far, but park up front, because (thieves) will be deterred by the witnesses in the area,” Sabol said. Gym parking lots are often gold mines for thieves, Sabol said. “They figure they have time and people will be in there (working out) for up to an hour,” Sabol said. If anyone has any information they should call Detective Kevin Kaminski at (772) 871-5053 or kevin.kaminski@cityofpsl.com or Detective Maiga Auguste at (772) 807-4422, or maiga.auguste@cityofpsl.com or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800-273-TIPS.
between 5:45 p.m. and 7 p.m., police received a call about a car break-in at Planet Fitness, located at 3225 S.W. Port St. Lucie Blvd. In this case, the victim forgot to lock his doors, Sabol said. Police believe the two men are working together, Sabol said. The first suspect is described as a dark-skinned black male approximately 25 to 30 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches to 5 feet, 10” tall with a stocky build of 190 to 225 pounds. The male has short, faded black hair with a light mustache. The second suspect is described as a light-skinned black male approximately 20 to 30 years old, 6 feet tall, weighing between 155 to 175 pounds.

‘Happy Holidays’ vs ‘Merry Christmas’
have embarked on a program to bring back the true meaning of Christmas. We wish to blanket the whole city with car window stickers and lawn signs to state “Keep Christ in Christmas.” We wish to share this program with anyone in the endeavor to have cooperation amongst all Christians no matter what denomination they may be. It is our hope to develop a consortium of all denominations to work together to have Merry Christmas restored in the corporate business world. By boycotting any business which elects to use “Happy Holidays” in place of “Merry Christmas,” we can effectively restore the true
meaning of the holiday season. It must be remembered that Christmas is one of American’s national holidays and should not be compromised. God bless you and America.

he well organized groups such as the A.C.L.U., the gays, the agnostics and atheists have caused the government to create a politically correct atmosphere by removing God from all public places. Even big business has been affected. There is no longer “Merry Christmas” in the business world but “Happy Holidays.” As a fellow Christian, I’m sure you’re aware of the effort to remove Christ and God from
today’s society. In 2004, the Associated Press reported that Federated Department Stores issued a memorandum prohibiting their sales associates from greeting shoppers with a cheerful “Merry Christmas.” They were directed to say “Happy Holidays” instead. They even try to change our Christmas tree to a “holiday” tree. We Christians are the largest block of consumers in the nation. Corporate America has succeeded in removing “Christ” from “Christmas.” We must band together to put Christ back in Christmas and deliver its true meaning to our nation. I, and my fellow Christians,

charged with both criminal and civil infractions for violating the state’s open records law, known as Sunshine Law, in connection with former city manager Greg Oravec’s controversial February release. Bowen was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor for attending a meeting of the council on Feb. 2 through an intermediary, city attorney Roger Orr, during which two or more members of council took official action about offering Oravec a severance package, state attorney Bruce Colton said. If convicted, Bowen faces up to 60 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500. Mayor JoAnn Faiella was charged with two civil infractions. The first for deleting text messages and a second for communicating through Orr, documents state. Councilwoman Shannon Martin was charged with a civil infraction for destroying text messages. Each infraction carries a fine of up to $500 each. Vice Mayor Linda Bartz and Councilwoman Michelle Berger were not charged with any wrongdoing. The governor has the power to suspend any elected munic-
www.YourVoiceWeekly.com ipal officer who is arrested and charged with a misdemeanor related to his or her office duties, Florida law states. Bowen is suspended until further notice, the order, signed by Scott, states. Berger believes the suspension is just and provides Bowen time to defend himself in court. “He still has his job,” Berger clarified. “Ron is not the first to be suspended,” Berger said. “When people are charged in criminal issues, they are suspended.” According to city charter, the city has no more than 90 days from the suspension to hold a special election to fill Bowen’s seat, senior assistant city attorney Pam Booker said. A special election could cost more than $100,000 said Booker, who is planning to meet with the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections to determine how much the election will cost taxpayers. Should Bowen be cleared of the charges before the election is held, he can assume his seat. If he’s cleared after the special election, he can also resume his membership on the city council, Booker said. Ron Bowen and Mayor JoAnn Faiella could not be reached for comment by press time.

ST. LUCIE WEST — Looking for a trusted firearm dealer close to home with the best prices? Firsttime buyer in need of a knowledgeable seller to help in your search for the perfect self-defense hand gun? Your Voice News & Views has found the silver bullet fix for any armory and sport shooting need and it’s been nestled in your backyard for the past
two years. Shooter’s Choice, located at 492 N.W. Concourse Place in St. Lucie West, is the largest discount arms dealer on the Treasure Coast, part owner Thom Jones said. The shop, located in the industrial area of town adjacent to Tradition Field, sells virtually every line of firearms, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Sig Sauer, Taurus, Ruger and Bushmaster. Shooter’s Choice is also part of the National Firearms Dealer Network, the largest online gun
shopping mall in the U.S. That means one can purchase a firearm directly from the network’s website at www.nfdmall.com and have it shipped and ready for pick-up at Shooter’s Choice in 72 hours with no transfer fee, Jones said. For the more hands-on shopper, the staff at the shop are knowledgeable and ensure each customer leaves with the perfect firearm to suit his or her specific needs, Jones said. Every gun in the shop is available for under
full list price, Jones added. “You can try these guns before you actually buy them,” Jones said. It’s $25 to rent multiple firearms for a three-hour period. Jones and his partner and other owner Rick Cooper are usually behind the case ready to help. “We spend a lot of time with our customers. We’ll work with them,” Jones said. “If we don’t have it in stock, we can get it very quickly ... we can also customize

Their best sellers are defense carry guns, which can be easily concealed on the body. “Rick and I are gun enthusiasts. We both grew up with guns,” Jones said. “Handguns are very popular in Florida. We saw a need in the market and we have a niche because we do mostly self-defense and we also do the AR-style platform rifles, or tac-

tical guns, so it’s been a really good niche for us.” Buying the perfect gun is a unique experience. One gun does not fit all, but the 380 is a popular form of ammo, Jones said. Twenty-two caliber handguns are lightweight, easy to use with little recoil and enjoyable to shoot on the range. The 9mm is the most common round in the U.S. and is also a common self-defense round, Jones added. “It gets very personal, but the

ST. LUCIE WEST — A local case of theft was caught on camera by the victim’s home security system and now it’s up to the public to examine the footage, find clues from the images and hopefully help crack the caper. Port St. Lucie Police are seeking the public’s help to find the person responsible for stealing a set of hubcaps from a car at a home located near St. Lucie West Centennial High School. The crime happened on Nov. 24 at 3:20 a.m. at 1392 S.W. Janette Ave., police said. Newly installed surveillance video from the residence shows a four door car, possibly a Nissan Altima, pull up and park at the end of the victim’s driveway.

A white male exits the car and steals all four hubcaps off of the victim’s 2002 Honda Accord. The man then jumps back into the get-away car and flees the area, Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. The suspect is described as a white male approximately 5’4”5’6” tall weighing approximately 130 to 150 pounds. He has a large tattoo covering his right shoulder, which extends down his arm to his elbow, the footage depicts. The suspect’s car appeared to be lacking hubcaps, said Sabol, who is hopeful that clue means this is an isolated incident. “We haven’t experienced a rash of hubcap thefts,” Sabol added. If anyone has any information they should call the Port St. Lucie Police Department at (772) 8715001 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800-273-TIPS.

How you get mistaken as her sister
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer A selection of firearms at Shooter’s Choice in St. Lucie West and a knowledgeable staff is prepared to help anyone capable of defending themselves safely.
SHOOTER from page A15 380 round is a very popular round. The 380 is really a short 9mm … invented by John Moses Browning in 1903. He took the 9mm in Europe, decked it down a little bit, same diameter, and put it into a semiautomatic pistol that he invented.” “He’s the father of the modern American semiautomatic firearm,” Jones said. “In Florida it’s popular because it’s a lightweight round and it shoots nicely.” Jones, who was a commercial banker before getting into the firearm industry 10 years ago, stressed safety comes first. “We sell a lot of safes, a lot of holsters and we sell a lot of cleaning kits, so it’s just not the purchase. For us, it’s making sure the customer is comfortable with the right gun and also knows how to handle it, then we want to show them how to clean it appropriately, because there’s a very specific way to clean a gun without putting yourself in danger,” Jones said. The shop offers gun cleaning for $25. Shooter’s Choice also takes gun trade-ins, repair, trigger work and can customize any firearm with accessories including sights and optics, Jones said. The shop also sells knives and less
deadly self-defense weapons like pepper spray. An attached shooting range, under different ownership, boasts 12, 75-foot climate controlled lanes. The range offers a concealed weapons course for $55. Shooter’s Choice also sells shotguns and AR-15’s. The large AR-15, named after ArmaLite, the company that started manufacturing the guns in the 1950s, is typically used for hunting, sport shooting or home self-defense, Jones said. After just a few moments of conversation with Jones or Cooper, it becomes rapidly apparent the pair knows guns like the back of their hands since childhood. “I view guns as obviously self-defense, but what got me into it was shooting targets, getting as good as I can,” said Cooper, an Okeechobee native. “It just parlayed itself into loving guns and loving guns turned into loving more guns and look at it now.” Shooter’s Choice is located at 492 N.W. Concourse Place in St. Lucie West (772) 618-5177 www.shooterschoiceguns.com

HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.

ate it. Every single hand has put in to make it happen,” she said. McGinnis, who has family and friends in Ormoc, Cebu and Bohol, described the three days of no word from her family after the storm struck as “agonizing.” “I had that feeling of unknown. Not knowing what’s going on and you watch all the news, the tragedy and so many deaths and you haven’t heard from anyone,” she said. “That feeling itself is the worst for you. You feel so helpless. You can’t do anything. But again, you have to stay strong and do something and hope one

The packages were sent in bulk to the Philippine Red Cross, McGinnis said. “It is really the work of the community. It’s not just me. I think I was just an instrument to initi-

TYPHOON from page A20 day you’re going to get a hold of them.” “I did not stop on Facebook watching for (the chat light) to turn green to see if they’re online or if they’re chatting,” she said. McGinnis’ sister called after 72 hours to say she and the rest of the family were OK, but that the area was all but leveled. “The people are still grateful that even though they were flooded, they’re still grateful that they have their lives, they have their family and they still have their shelter,” McGinnis said. Palm City resident and Philippine native Benne-Lane Church knows the same torment as McGinnis. It took Church’s family in the remote coastal area of Casanayan more than a week to call. Although she had not yet heard from them as of the Nov. 16 supply drive, she still attended to help. “I (was) hoping and I have faith in God. I had to occupy my mind,” Church said. “I was thinking by doing this I could remind myself that there are people that still need my help.” Church’s family informed her that supplies shipped in from around the world have already been put to good use to save lives. The outpouring of support locally and globally has amazed Church. “It’s really important to reach out as human beings,” Church said. “It doesn’t matter what race you are, you can feel it, you have the urge in your mind to just help.” St. Lucie West resident Teri Pinney said her heart aches for her father’s homeland.
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Jenny Baksh and Jennifer Benge of St. Lucie West pack a roomful of supplies to be sent to the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan. The Philippine-American Association of the Treasure Coast took collections at the Port St. Lucie Community Center in November. “I’m overwhelmed with pity and sorrow for the suffering going on over there,” Pinney said in an email from Germany, where she was visiting. Pinney praised the work of McGinnis, saying the devastated country still needs more help. “Thanks to the leadership of Daisy McGin-
nis, president of the Philippine-American Association of the Treasure Coast, our community has rallied together to help,” Pinney said. “Goods and materials for the Red Cross in the Philippines is good, but I also appeal people to donate cash to UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders or the Catholic Diocese of the Philippines.”

YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER
Choral group presents concert Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
FORT PIERCE — The Indian River State College Chorale, under the direction of Dale Reith, will present a concert, “The Wonderful World of Music,” that takes listeners around the world and to different times in music history. The Dec. 8 concert will take place at the McAlpin Fine Arts Center on the IRSC main campus. Rieth, who holds a doctoral degree from the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, has been at IRSC since 1985. He knows his audience well. “The program has the choir and smaller ensembles,” he said. “It’s a representation of our entire academic program. Variety is always our spice. Normally, this (winter) concert would be a more serious endeavor, but we’re dropping in some things that are a little bit lighter. It will show how versatile our singers are. For every piece, we’ll talk about it and students will offer translations of pieces in foreign languages.” The program opens with a British and an Italian madrigal from the Renaissance. Rieth will talk about how the two cultures influenced each other in madrigal writing. Next, they will perform a contemporary French work that fuses into a Yeats poem, “The Cloths of Heaven.”

perform. There is a barbershop quartet, a Rihanna tune and a piece by Gershwin.” Rieth said that they were going to feature a soloist, something they rarely do. “We attend an annual music symposium where we meet up
with students from smaller colleges,” he said. “One feature is a student scholarship. Our entry is Jernie Talles. She will sing an Italian aria.” The time of year dictates that

some holiday cheer take over the program. There will be traditional favorites, contemporary songs and a new Christmas spiritual. The whole choir will invite the audience to sing-along in a medley of carols,” Reith said. “Finally, we’ll close with a Christmas spiritual and ‘Ain’t No Grave Can Hold Me Down,’ with American Sign Language accompaniment. It’s nothing but fun.” For Rieth, the almost 30 years he has spent at IRSC haven’t seemed like work.

PORT ST. LUCIE — There’s nothing like a hand-made present to give a piece of your heart to someone you love. Bring your creative side to the Oxbow Eco-Center’s Jewelry Making Class on Friday, Dec. 6 from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. and try your hand at making your own jeweled artwork. You can start from scratch with all the supplies provided. You can even make a ‘matrilineal’ necklace, bracelet or earrings by bringing in a cherished piece of jewelry from your mother or grandmother and making pieces for each of the females in the family. It will be a truly unique gift sure to be cherished for a lifetime. The cost is only $20. You can also get
$5 off the class by visiting the Oxbow and purchasing $15 or more of our hand-made jewelry on sale now! Space is limited, so reservations are a must. For more information or to register, contact the Oxbow at (772) 785-5833, send an email to oxbow@stlucieco.org or visit www. oxboweco.com. This class is taught by Bobbie Richards, an Oxbow volunteer who has been making jewelry for years. You’ll have hundreds of beads and jewels to choose from as she guides you through the process of deciding on your own special design. Located at 5400 N.E. St. James Drive, Port St. Lucie, the Oxbow Eco-Center is a St. Lucie County environmental learning center located on 225 acres along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River.

Get into the holiday spirit with local youth FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
Sean Boyle Executive Director Children’s Service Council of St. Lucie County
ST. LUCIE WEST — On Friday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m. local youth will perform holiday classics on the stage of the Sunrise Theatre in Historic Downtown Fort Pierce. These students have been practicing for months to be able to showcase their talents to the community. Performers are participants in afterschool programs supported by the Children’s Services Coun-
cil of St. Lucie County. This year, performing programs are: Future Generations’ Drum Line, Parent Teen Community Connection, YMCA Hip Hop Dancers, Boys & Girls Clubs Glee Club, Future Generations’ Musicians and the Avenue D Boys and Girls Choirs. The event is supported by WFLM 104.7 The Flame and WIRA The Light 1400AM. Tickets to the show are sold out. The Children’s Services Council of St. Lucie County was
created and supported by the community in 1990. Since then, they have provided and supported programs and resources for local families that focus on ensuring every baby is a healthy baby, preventing child abuse before it starts, keeping kids off the streets, keeping students in school and keeping youth away from drugs and alcohol. The Sunrise Theatre is located at 117 South Second St., in downtown Fort Pierce.
