TREASURE COAST — As the Indian River Lagoon’s life hangs in the balance, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, is working tirelessly against the odds in a last ditch effort to rescue the dying waterway. He, along with other members of Congress, have asked that discussions and voting on a new water bill, slated to hit the House floor sometime this month, be delayed until the fall session. “It’s an uphill battle,” Murphy said in a telephone interview last week with Your Voice News & Views. The delay is needed to give the Army Corps of Engineers more time to review the Central Everglades Planning Project, most commonly referred to as CEPP. Last month, a Corps review board refused to sign off on CEPP, making it impossible for projects inside to receive funding from Congress. The Corps cited a slight difference in terminology in a small portion of the report and the South Florida Water Management District’s final resolution. In order for Indian River Lagoon projects in the plan to receive federal funds, CEPP would have needed approval before Congress

ST. LUCIE WEST — Keith Rommel grew up on Long Island. He wrestled in high school, attended Nassau Community College and worked for many years in retail sells, selling baby products, including strollers and high chairs. When his wife had a job opportunity in Port St. Lucie 10 years ago, they moved to Florida. He is now a manager for Rocky’s Ace Hardware. With that all-American background, it’s hard to believe that Keith Rommel writes seriously creepy books. One, “The Cursed Man,” is being made into a feature film. It is about a man who believes death is in love with him. “I started writing in my early 20s, as a hobby,” Rommel said. “I was not very good at it. I did it for an outlet. I’ve always been a fan of the horror genre. I read Stephen King and Anne Rice. If I go to the movies, it’s films like thrillers or horror. I just think it was a natural transition. It draws into darker sides.” “The Cursed Man, “The Lurking
Man” and “The Sinful Man” form the Thanatology Series. Thanatology is the study of death and dying. “All of the books in that series are based off true events,” Rommel said. “‘The Sinful Man’” is drawn from Tyler Hadley (the Port St. Lucie teen sentenced to life in prison for killing his parents.) He’s not glorified. I thought, ‘I’m a Christian man. God gave me this imagination.’” Rommel said he did much of his thinking in the shower. “I was scrubbing my heard with shampoo and I thought of the phrase about walking through the valley of death and fearing no evil. I wondered, ‘What happens if you have something to fear?” Rommel’s books are published by Sunbury Press in Mechanicsburg, Penn. “I was researching the company,” he said. “They had mostly published historical works and were just looking to branch out into fiction. I saw a call for authors and sent the manuscript for ‘The Cursed Man.’ They came back quickly with a response. It went to an editor and they released it a lot faster (than I

One of those choices is what got me the movie deal. It caught the attention of a production company. I thought I was being scammed.” The film is about half way through filming by Galaxy Entertainment, an independent production company led by James L. Perry. “He is pretty connected,” Rommel said. “Everything is who you know. He is close to Robert Picardo, who is famed for ‘Star Trek.’ The biggest thing was getting Jim Tavare from ‘Harry Potter.’ The special effects team did ‘The Matrix.’ Rommel said the target date for release is November, but he’s not sure about that. “As an outsider, there’s a lot to be done on the computer-generat-

ed graphics side,” he said. The author said that watching his work come to creepy life is challenging. “It’s almost like an emotional roller coaster ride,” he said. “Your hope they produce your vision. There’s a moment of anxiety and then moments of relief and excitement because they got it. The scenes are not necessarily filmed in order, so you’re seeing it in pieces. “The great thing is I actually get to see where the producer talks and gives direction, before they clap that thing and say, ‘Take 2.’ I get to see the inside things. I think the producer knows the books better than I do. In my mind, I’m three books past that.” Talking to Keith Rommel is a lot of fun. He’s interesting and entertaining. He also writes very creepy books. Beware! Keith Rommel’s books are available at amazon.com. Barnes & Noble and any book distributor.

TREASURE COAST — With bagpipes, eulogies and people dressed black in mourning, the Indian River Lagoon was buried at Phipps Park — 2175 S.W. Locks Road, Stuart, on Saturday, May 3. Speakers had a unified message for funeral attendees — the Indian River was murdered. “The river we love has been (beaten) on the head with a blunt instrument,” environmental activist Maggy Hurchalla told a couple hundred attendees. Hurchalla was on the Martin County Commission from 1974 to 1994. The mock funeral was a protest organized against, among other things, recently slowed progress on the Central Everglades Planning Project. CEPP is part of state and federal efforts to restore the natural flow of waters going into Lake Okeechobee southward. In a demonstration of the growing power of social media, the protest was rapidly organized by a loose coalition of folks largely through Facebook. “It’s started on Earth Day,” Michelle Roberts, co-organizer, said. “A friend of mine posted a picture of the 1970 funeral they did out there. I said, ‘That’s a good idea.’” Earth Day was on April 22. Roberts, who turned 44 on May 3 was born 11 days after the first Earth Day, 1970. Folks on the

I-95 drug bust Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PORT ST. LUCIE — Port St. Lucie Police arrested a drug trafficker from Palm Beach during a speed trap on I-95 last week before he was able to travel through St. Lucie West to make a drop in Gainesville. On April 30 at approximately 2 p.m., police arrested Antonio White, 23, of Gainesville, for possession of marijuana over 20 grams, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia, after he was stopped for speeding on I-95. While conducting traffic enforcement on the highway around Becker Road in Port St. Lucie, police saw a 2008 black Nissan Altima traveling 90 mph in a posted 70 mph zone. Police activated their lights and sirens on the speeding car and followed it for an additional two miles before the speeder pulled over, police said. A K-9 unit on site helping with speeding enforcement assisted police. The drug sniffing police
FUNERAL from page A6 fouled the St. Lucie and Indian rivers. Those discharges exist because of a combination of things. But central to them is the continued effects of historic efforts to control the water in South Florida for agricultural and residential development, and slow progress in restoring natural water flows from the Kissimmee Water Basin southward through the lake and into the Everglades. “I don’t want to have to come back here 44 years from now,” Perry told protestors. “I don’t want our kids to have to come out.” Hurchalla said highly visible ecological damage the lake discharges did to the St. Lucie and Indian rivers last summer seemed to be a tipping point toward unstoppable movement to end them. The damage inspired the creation of the Florida Senate Select Committee on Indian River Lagoon and Lake Okeechobee Basin, and visits by Will Weatherford, Speaker of the Florida House, and Jo-Ellen Darcy, who heads up the Army Corps of Engineers, among other things. “Everyone stopped playing the blame game for a minute,” Hurchalla said. She lamented that the piqued
dog hit on the trunk, a police report stated. After a search of the trunk, police uncovered a black Antonio White backpack containing approximately 471 grams of marijuana and several vacuum storage bags. In all, White was traveling with a pound of marijuana in his car, the report states. White was taken to a St. Lucie County jail for booking. He bonded out on May 1. Port St. Lucie Police want criminals to know that crime will not be tolerated in the city. “We’re not going to turn a blind eye to illegal activity in the city,” police spokesman, Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. “They should be aware we are out enforcing the law.” “If they come through our city committing these types of crimes, they’re going to be apprehended for them,” Sabol said.
concern quickly receded in Tallahassee and, more so, Washington, D.C. “I came with a coffin today,” she said. “I think I’m going to cry. I already have. But I’m not going to give up.” St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky let his anger toward recent delays with the Central Everglades Planning Project show. He shouted more than spoke, frequently peppering his remarks with expletives. “Our economy in this region depends on the Indian River Lagoon,” he said to attendees. He urged protestors to call and email state and federal elected officials, along with the corps’ district office in Jacksonville. “Are you in!” he shouted to attendees. “Are you in! Do you want clean water!” Martin County Commissioner John Haddox attended the mock funeral, but wasn’t among its speakers. Haddox said he’s “guardedly optimistic” that continued public pressure will move the state and federal governments to get to slated projects more quickly. “There are elections coming up and the Treasure Coast — although we’re small we’re critical in some of those elections,” he said.

Meet mayoral candidate Joseph Edge Your Voice News & Views sent out questionnaires to all local political candidates in the 2014 races. We are publishing their answers as they were returned to us, with minor editing. All submissions will be published in the weeks between now and Election Day. Mayoral candidate Joseph Edge has called Port St. Lucie home since 1990. Edge is a father of two and has one granddaughter. Edge owns and operates The Tax Shoppe, which he established in 1991. The Tax Shoppe offers income tax preparation, accounting, bookkeeping and business consulting services. Q: Discuss your interest in serving as mayor on the City Council. Discuss your prior experience working with civic, community or governmental organizations. A: I own The Tax Shoppe located on Southwest Bayshore Boulevard in Port St. Lucie and have been in business here since 1991. I served in the United States Navy for 10 years with specific experience in government and fund accounting. I was one of the
youngest financial supervisors in the U.S. Navy; after an honorable discharge, I spent five years working for a government contractor providing training and technical support for U.S. Navy submarine tenders and other support activities. With this specific experience, in addition to my 23 years plus as a small business owner in Port St. Lucie, I am uniquely qualified to be the mayor of Port St. Lucie. I want to serve as the mayor of Port St. Lucie to effect much-needed change in our perception as the ninth largest city in Florida and bring a higher sense of integrity and respect to the office and the city as a whole. Q: What do you perceive as the three most important concerns facing the city of Port St. Lucie? A: A. The integrity and public perception of Port St. Lucie, it’s officials and residents as it relates to the surrounding communities, regionally and the state. B. Reassessing our city wide priorities as a community coming out of the recession, and C. Creating value in the assets we have as a city and
marketing those improved value assets to new business owners and residents both regionally, nationally and internationally. Q: What are your thoughts related to the city of Port St. Lucie’s relationship with St. Lucie County? What changes can be made to foster a better relationship? A: Assuming there is a bad relationship there to begin with, any time politics holds a central position in any relationship it is problematic and the solution is therefore a political one. I am convinced the solution lies in keeping the public completely informed concerning the issues that the city and the county share and let the political pressure of the issue improve the relationship since elected officials typically will change only when pressured by the voters. Q: All cities are facing fiscal challenges. How would you address balancing the budget and consider various alternatives and trade-offs?
Joe Edge our budget shortfalls not only lies in how we spend money, but more so how we as a city generate revenue. The majority of the revenue generated by the city comes from property taxes. The lower property values are, the lower our revenue stream is and our city is less attractive, aesthetically speaking. An aggressive and functional program to increase and maintain property values over time will

WATER from page A1 votes on a new water bill. The Corps has said it will have an approvable plan ready no later than the end of June, after Congress was set to approve a new water bill, the first in nearly a decade. The goal of the Central Everglades Planning Project, most commonly referred to as CEPP, is to deliver a final plan, known as a Project Implementation Report, for a suite of restoration projects in the central Everglades and Indian River Lagoon to prepare for congressional authorization. CEPP identifies and plans for Army Corps projects on land to send more water south to the central Everglades. Murphy has enlisted the help of several U.S. senators to get discussions delayed. “Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Florida) are fighting really hard to get this delayed,” Murphy said. As Murphy continues to fight for a stall in talks, some good news for the lagoon was announced. The Army Corps of Engineers will be moving forward on the Kissimmee River Project and the C-111 South Dade Project. Once completed, the Kissimmee River Project will help hold more water north of Lake Okeechobee, and the C-111 South Dade Project will allow more fresh water into Ever-

A/C U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy glades National Park. “The Kissimmee basin is a big piece of the pie in holding water back that will never reach the lagoon,” Murphy said. The Kissimmee River Restoration project was authorized by Congress in 1992 and is sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District. When restoration is completed in 2019, more than 40 square miles of river-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of river channel. The project will include 100,000 acre-feet of storage north of Lake Okeechobee.

Frank Lynch hopes to revolutionize education Patrick McCallister Staff writer
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — Frank Lynch is single and never had children. But he’s dedicated his life “to lifting up every child in America.” He’s aiming to win Florida’s 18th Congressional District to do that. Lynch said he has plans to revolutionize education, and doing that will naturally solve myriad domestic and international issues. His plan is pretty simple. Longer school days, year-round classes and free college for “useful things.” Lynch said the ambitious program will dramatically improve education while cutting its cost and automatically reduce numerous other social expenses, such as maintaining jails and prisons. “The system we have just does not work,” Lynch said. “The number of drop outs goes up every year both in numbers and portion of the population.”
The National Center for Education Sciences and others, however, report that dropout rates have declined since 1990. It defines the dropout rate as the percentage of 16- to 24-year-olds how are not enrolled in school and haven’t earned a high-school credential, diploma or equivalency. The center reports that the national dropout rate went from 12 percent to 7 percent by 2011. Lynch counts himself a Tea Party libertarian. The 72-year-old is one of nine Republicans who’d announced candidacies for Florida’s 18th Congressional District with the Florida Division of Elections, which Democrat Patrick Murphy now holds. Murphy is running for re-election. At press time, the only candidate listed as withdrawn is Ellen Andel. Qualifying ends on publication day — Friday, May 2. “I grew up in Chicago on the mean streets,” Lynch said. “I started my own company. I was a senior banker on Wall Street.” He added, “That’s the epitome
of the American dream. That you can grow up in poverty and become a serious congressional candidate.” That’s a story he thinks can be replicated more often by instituting his plans for educational reforms. “Almost all the problems plaguing the nation stem from education,” he said. However, Lynch said he’s uncertain what role Congress can play in instituting his proposed education reform. He said if elected to Congress, he’ll urge creation of committees to examine approaches to and implementing large education reforms, such as those he’s suggesting. “I’m not sure how we’re going to pay for it,” he said. “I know that it can be done for 50 percent less than we’re paying for education today.” Lynch said he’s a fervent believer in the 10th Amendment’s preservation of local power. He said he’d oppose any attempt to legislate educational reforms

Get to know mayoral candidate Joshua Moore Your Voice News & Views sent out questionnaires to all local political candidates in the 2014 races. We are publishing their answers as they were returned to us, with minor editing. All submissions will be published in the weeks between now and Election Day. Q: Discuss your interest in serving as mayor on the City Council. Discuss your prior experience working with civic, community or governmental organizations. A: I have lived in this city all of my adult life. The local government has caused a great deal of unnecessary turmoil in people’s lives due to lack of long-term planning. I am running for mayor because I bring that planning to the table. Q: Discuss your career and family life. Where do you work? Do you have children? Are you married? How long have you lived in Port St. Lucie? A: As a young man of 25 years, I have held many of the jobs young men do. But growing up in the aftermath of the financial meltdown and with an ailing father who has demanded a lot of time to care for has certainly been difficult.

Q: What do you perceive as the three most important concerns facing the city of Port St. Lucie?
HCB-282.2176-Voice_4.79x12.75-PSL-Tradition_Service-OL.indd 1
3/4/14 10:15:59 AM
A: 1. “It’s the economy, stupid.” (To shamelessly lift a phrase from the great.) It’s no secret that automation threatens an alarming number of working class Americans and Port St. Lucie is no exception. As mayor, my single greatest concern will be to bring in jobs and industries that we can rely, jobs that won’t be automated in the next decade. 2. I am incredibly concerned about our environment, as mayor I will sit down with the sharpest minds and experts in the field to develop strategies for responsible development policies and environmental protection. 3. There is a list as long as my arm of other problems that are important, but chief among them is the overall quality of life in Port St. Lucie. It will be my goal
Joshua Moore as mayor to make sure that our city government does nothing that causes extra stress in people’s lives. Q: What are your thoughts related to the city of Port St. Lucie’s relationship with St. Lucie County? What changes can be made to foster a better relationship? A: Every election brings about subtle changes in the makeup of government. I anticipate a good working relationship with the county as mayor. Q: All cities are facing fiscal challenges. How would you address balancing the budget and consider various alternatives and trade-offs? A: I intend to enact zero-based budget reforms. This tactic will give the city an advantage in the way it spends money every year. Let’s pull the budget apart line by line and make sure that we are getting the most for our money before discussing any other strategies. Q: What areas of Port St. Lucie do you think present an opportunity for redevelopment and revitalization? What do you think would be an appropriate approach for the city? A: Port St. Lucie has a lot of real estate opportunity. In terms of development and redevelopment we must have a strategy that includes ease of access to commercial centers, improved traffic safety especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. We all know what

EDGE from page A8 increase revenue, the aesthetic value of the city and attract new residents and business owners who want to move to Port St. Lucie not only because of the lower housing costs (as compared to the rest of the region and state) but because it just plain “looks better than other communities.” Homesteaded residents are protected because their property taxes can only increase a maximum of 3 percent per year. Q: What areas of Port St. Lucie do you think present an opportunity for redevelopment and revitalization? What do you think would be an appropriate approach for the city? A: Prior administrations have failed the residents of the older communities city wide – in all of the neighborhoods such as the Floresta-Airoso-Bayshore Corridor, Parks Edge and Windmill Point, and Veterans Memorial Parkway areas among others. Everything we do as a governing body revolves around one major concept – PROPERTY VALUES. When property values are low, we all suffer financially, when they increase, we prosper. We need a city council and mayor that knows, respects and insists on programs that improve property values.

Q: What sets you apart from the other candidates in this race? A: I am and have been an advocate for change and accountability in the city for years. I am not now, nor have I ever been, part of the dysfunctionality that occurs at city hall what seems like almost a daily basis. I have no allegiances or alliances with anyone at city hall. I am solution-oriented, learned from my years in the U.S. Navy. The residents of this city expect results not excuses and that is what the primary thrust of my tenure as mayor will focus on.
Q: What do you think would make Port St. Lucie a better place to live?
Q: What are three achievable goals that you would champion during your term in office?
A: Whether an issue is positive or negative, most of the time perception is what drives opinions on an issue and the public’s opinion creates controversy or acceptance. The media whether television, internet based or written forms have a responsibility to the community as much as our elected officials to report fairly, accurately and without bias. The public assumes it “must be the whole truth” when they read
A: A. Act like a leader and professional each and every day I am the mayor of Port St. Lucie, and expect the same from my peers on the council. This is how we will begin working to return the credibility to city government. B. Continue to improve property values of our homes and businesses, and share that “value” with residents and business owners and those

it or hear about it from media outlets, but that is rarely the case based on the media outlets priorities and what “they” think is important to the public. New residents and business owners make their decision to come or not to come to PSL based on what they hear and what they see — and the media outlets have to accept responsibility for that and look to improve or change their outlook. Port St. Lucie is in fact a GREAT place to live, work and play but like any other community, there are some issues which require the focus and attention of those in power to address and correct. The media can make this job a lot easier by looking at more of the positive things that happen in Port St. Lucie and not accentuating the negative.

EDGE from page A14 that would consider coming to Port St. Lucie and making it their home. With an increase in property values city wide, we all share in the cost and value in the city. C. Look, without boundaries, to those business opportunities that would consider Port St. Lucie their home and do whatever protects the residents to entice those new businesses to move to the greatest city in South Florida. Public/private partnerships are the way of the future however financial risks assumed by the public must be minimal and well-evaluated.
Q: What is the most pressing issue for the residents in St. Lucie West and Tradition? A: As a portion of the city as a whole, both of these communities represent a majority of the city’s population and their existence adds significant value to the city. The frustrations of residents often come from those in political office “not listening to their concerns or acting on them.” Conversely, it also comes from residents having unrealistic expectations of their government. Most of the residents that I have spoken to, feel abandoned. As mayor, having a “solu-
tion-oriented” mindset and working with these residents will get results and where expectations may not be met, at least I can guarantee them a reason “why.” Q: How should the city handle the vacant Digital Domain building? A: I would be a strong advocate of researching the feasibility of a city-owned (and contracted out) K through 12 charter school where local technology companies are involved in the curriculum at all grade levels. If the city’s goal is to attract quality businesses and professionals to this area,
we have to have quality schools to educate their children — and education they can relate to. This is an example of a public/private partnership that would allow the city to begin addressing the our education issues and work toward increasing property values. Q: How can the city help save the Indian River Lagoon? A: Ordinances and programs that promote the environment, not just in the Indian River Lagoon, but all aspects of the community. An annual event that brought awareness to the Indian River Lagoon would also be beneficial.

LYNCH from page A10 ing classroom hours and annual school days for students in younger ages that there’ll be automatic reductions in gang membership, drug use, criminal activity, premature pregnancy and other social ills that are social brain drains hampering the national labor force. He said that students could be graduating by 18 not with just high-school diplomas, but college degrees. He said entrepreneurship would naturally expand if that happened. “People are at their most creative between the ages of 15 and 30,” Lynch said. Locally, Lynch said the biggest problems facing the congressional district is persistent pollution problems in the Indian River Lagoon. Many point to Army Corps of Engineers’ discharges of water from Lake Okeechobee that makes its way into the St. Lucie and Indian rivers as the primary culprit. Lynch said the state and federal governments need to speed projects intended to restore southern water flows into and from the lake. However, Lynch said that population growth in Florida is a large contributor to water problems.

“It’s going to be a long, hard pull to reduce the pollution going into the Everglades, because we keep building houses,” he said. The district is tenuous for both major political parties. Between Martin and St. Lucie counties, there are about slightly more than 107,000 voters registered as Republicans, and about 102,600 Democrats. Some in Martin register Republican to vote in the primary elections, since county commission races are often decided in the primary. Another 71,890 voters in the two counties are registered with third parties or no affiliation. The primary election will be on Aug. 26. Early voting will be from Aug. 16 to 23rd. The general election will be on Nov. 4. Early voting will be from Oct. 20 to Nov. 1. PlatinumHomeSearch.com for all South Florida listings!

MOORE from page A12 a mess has been made of our city zoning. Let’s bring in field experts and industry leaders to form our strategy going forward. Q: What do you think would make Port St. Lucie a better place to live? A: Reduced stress from a healthier economy. Q: What sets you apart from the other candidates in this race? A: The way I think makes me uniquely qualified for this position. My opponents are all more politically savvy, but they think only in terms of one election to the next. Port St. Lucie needs more vision, more people in government who look at the numbers, look at the options and come to their conclusions with sound logic and develop equally sound strategies. Q: What are three achievable goals that you would champion during your term in office? A: My goal in office will be to leave the city happier, healthier, wiser and wealthier than it was when I started.
Q: What is the most pressing issue for the residents in St. Lucie West and Tradition?
T R E A S U R I N G
A: While there are unique issues for Tradition and St. Lucie West, the biggest and most pressing issues facing residents are the same big and pressing issues that face our city as a whole.
“T‰easu‰e Coast Hospice lifted a weight off ou‰ shoulders.”
Q: How should the city handle the vacant Digital Domain building? A: My blood boils at how poorly managed the Digital Domain affair has been from the beginning. I will work with city council to devise a plan that recovers as much as possible for our city from the building. It makes sense to keep with the buildings original purpose, to bring in technically skilled jobs to the city, however we must play it smart and ensure that the next move we make does not blow up in the cities face again. We cannot afford another big lapse in judgment.

Campaign controversy in council chambers Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PORT ST. LUCIE — A heated exchange between a Port St. Lucie City Council member and a public commenter over his pro-mayor T-shirt ended with a walk-off from the dais, shouts from the audience and more questions than answers about acceptable attire in city hall during campaign season. During the public to be heard portion of the April 28 city council meeting, Port St. Lucie resident Steve Carroll donned a “This is Faiella Country” shirt. Councilwoman Michelle Berger objected, citing a council rule. “We’ve always had a very strict rule in the city of Port St. Lucie that we don’t engage in campaigning within the city (hall),” Berger said. Carroll protested, saying his blue T-shirt was not campaign attire. “Do you see anything on here that says ‘elect?’” Carroll said. “Do you see anything on here that says a political statement?” Carroll went on to question Berger’s mental state. “Mayor, do you have psychiatric benefits on your health care program?” Carroll said. “Do you have
hospitalization?” “… I have a right to wear whatever I want. This is America,” Carroll said. “It doesn’t say anything about electing anybody. Mrs. Berger’s paranoia is just running wild.” Berger left the dais as some members of the audience cheered on Carroll, while others yelled in Berger’s defense. Mayor JoAnn Faiella did little to clear up the T-shirt controversy, saying the shirt was not her official campaign gear. To answer Carroll’s question about psychiatric benefits, Faiella said, “Yes, we do.” Berger returned to her seat at the end of Carroll’s comments. “Madam Mayor, both of those things he said to me were insulting,” Berger said. “The gentleman is correct, he gets to wear whatever he wants under First Amendment rights, but it is up to us to create decorum in this room,” Berger said. “And we have had a long-standing rule amongst ourselves that there is no campaigning within the dais or within the chamber.” It still remains unclear how campaign attire will be handled in council chambers. Numerous calls to interim city attorney Pam Booker were not returned.

TREASURE COAST — Dr. Silviano Matamoros has seen and treated chronic dry eyes at his Treasure Coast offices for more than two decades. “Dry eye continues to be among the most common complaints that we encounter in our clinical practice, and the frequency of dry eye conditions will likely increase in our aging, multi-medicated population,” the doctor said. At least 5.5 million in the United States suffer mild to severe forms of the annoying to painful condition. It likely often goes needlessly undiagnosed and untreated. “Dry eye syndrome is caused basically by a change in the tear film,” Matamoros said. “It’s a matter of either having insufficient or poor-quality tears.” At the Center for Eye Care & Surgery we tailor the treatment to patients needs to relieve the condition. “Chronic dry eye syndrome is a medical condition that needs continuous therapy,” Matamoros said. “It can be caused by multiple factors including, but not limited to, advanced age, side effects from medications, hormonal changes, eye diseases and other medical conditions.” While dry eyes affects folks at any age it’s more common among older people. Not all dry eyes are equal. Most sufferers have mild

to moderate forms of the condition. However, about 12 percent of suffers have severe forms that can significantly affect the quality of life. The center uses advanced testing to scientifically measure the severity of patients’ dry eyes to help determine the best treatments. “For most people with occasional symptoms, treatment involves over-the-counter eye drops,” the doctor said. “However, it is important to determine what is causing the dry eyes and treat the underlying condition.” For example, dry eye symptoms may be secondary to aqueous tear deficiency, in which the lacrimal glands fail to produce enough watery component to maintain a healthy eye surface. Or the condition could also be due to meibomian gland dysfunction, an excessive evaporation of the natural tears. The center uses the latest protocols to diagnose, manage and treat dry eyes. Knowing the osmolarity of a patient’s tear film is essential to the proper management of dry eye disorders,” Matamoros said. “This test also measures the therapeutic response of a patient.” For more, visit www.see2020florida.com. The center has offices in Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Okeechobee. The Port St. Lucie office’s phone number is (772) 337-5332.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — David Moberg, director of Indian River State College’s performing and visual arts department, is a playwright. He is also the regional point person for the New Plays Project of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. He sees many new plays and enjoys discovering new talent. Students from IRSC’s acting, choral and instrumental music departments will present one of these discoveries, the musical “A Thousand Cowboys,” by Tori Lee Averett May 29-31. “I first saw a production about a year ago at Georgia College,” Moberg said. “Tori was a graduate student finishing a master’s degree in creative writing. I liked the show and we corresponded afterward. I said I’d like to stage it as an ‘in progress’ work. This is not the premiere, but it is a full production. All the performing arts faculty are teaming up.” That team includes Moberg, as well as Dale Rieth, who leads the choral music department, and John Southall, whose woodwinds section will perform some of Averett’s country and western music. “It’s a blend of ‘Oklahoma’ and ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,’ Moberg said. “The setting is a brothel in Storey County, Nev., in the late 1800s.

Moberg said that Millan is ideal for the role of Callie. “She is an incredible singer,” he said. “She has most of the tunes and she is perfect vocally for the part.” He also had praise for playwright Tori Lee Averett. In addition to playwriting, she has won a national award for choreography. He said that he expects to hear more from her in the future. In an email, Averett said that she will be in the audience for the production and is eager to see how her work has been interpreted. “I am thrilled,” she said. “I can’t wait to see what they’ve done with it. What’s it like to see my work performed? That’s difficult to answer, partly because of the nature of playwriting. More so than any other medium of creativity, dramatic literature is meant to be let go and handled, interpreted and shaped by lots of other people.

See CLUBBIN’ page B5 “With that in mind, it is strange and thrilling to have my work performed. I can’t even imagine how the director, designers and performers will interpret the text, characters, the music, the world of the play. I am very curious to see what themes, images and details they are drawn to, what parts of the story they find to be the most important, where they find the challenges and stumbling blocks. “And the audience! What will they get from it? I am eager to see if and when all our imaginations align — across time and space — to tell the same story with the same basic truths about what it means to be human. How wonderful to have this storytelling experience with IRSC.” “A Thousand Cowboys” by Tori Lee Averett, will be presented at the McAlpin Fine Arts Center, 3209 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce, from May 29-31. Tickets are $15 and are available from the box office at (772) 462-4750 or online at www.irsc.edu.

You’ll be shocked by their bottles...
ST. LUCIE WEST — It’s wine o’clock all the time at Bottle Shock in St. Lucie West. In keeping with its name, the storefront, open since October, offers up a shocking stock of wine with more than 1,000 bottles shelved at all times. Prices range from affordable to extravagant, but it’s not the cost that counts. The shop’s owner, Michael Ayzenberg, carries rarities. “The most important thing is not to get the most expensive price. This wine here isn’t so expensive, but it’s very hard to get. You cannot find it in so many stores,” Michael said of a bottle of Australian Tournon Shiraz red wine. The Australian grape, known as Shiraz, is abundant in the country. The full bodied wine is widely known for its peppery flavor. Michael, who moved to St. Lucie West from Boston years ago with his wife because of the clear blue skies and mild weather here, said the name of his shop achieves the shock value he strives for.
“I wanted people to come and be in shock,” he said. “Sometimes the wine that we find here is totally different than in other stores.” “… This idea to give people a chance to find something here that is not in every store, this is why.” The name was also derived from the 2007 dramatic comedy “Bottle Shock,” the true story of the early days of California wine making. To honor his heritage, Michael carries a variety of wine from his homeland. “Russian is totally different. It’s the opposite (of Italian wine),” he said. “It’s off dry. This means it’s semi-sweet ... It’s so smooth.” Bottle Shock also boasts wine from France, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, New Zealand, Germany and more. A popular wine with customers is

There are also wine saver tops available which can preserve wine for up to a week. Michael also said that he wanted to personally thank his good friend, Mr Horace S. Webb, a St Lucie West resident who was instrumental in connecting him up with Sosabe Cellars, the distributors of the best selling wines. “Without Horaces’ help it would have been a lot tougher getting to Sosabe”. Bottle Shock is located at 1707 N.W. St. Lucie West Blvd., Suite 186 next to Panera Bread. Hours are Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (772) 224-2317

Papaya Brillat Savarin from France
Corvo red wine from Sicily. The wine is ruby-red in color, and known for its intense and fruity taste. It’s also dry. If a customer can’t find a bottle he or she desires, Michael can special order it. Some of the bottles in Michael’s shop are worthy of keeping and displaying once finished. The glass bottles are shaped in the form of snakes and roosters. Another patron favorite is Bere Italian red blend, which is a full, flavorful and velvety wine, Ayzenberg said. “For $14, this is what surprises the people ... I cannot keep it on the shelf.” Bottle Shock also carries an array of cigars and cheese along with caviar. The delacy is best spread atop About Brillat Savarin with Papaya, which is also sold at the store. The gourmet spread is a buttery and creamy

MARTIN COUNTY — In celebration of National Nurses Week, ADVANCE for Nurses has announced the clinical education team at Martin Health System in Stuart is among the 10 national winners of the annual Best Nursing Team award. Nursing teams from across the country submitted essays describing how their team achieved specific outcomes. A panel of judges evaluated the entries for initiative, adaptability, expertise and outreach. The Martin Health clinical education team was recognized for their work to develop, revise and improve the organization’s Novice
Nurse Program. The Novice Nurse Program at Martin Health was developed in 2009 to provide clinical support and ongoing education for entry-level nurses as they transitioned from novice to expert within the organization, and to strengthen the competencies of new nurses during their critical first year of professional practice. “Despite its successes, the clinical education team at Martin Health felt the Novice Nurse Program needed improvement, particularly because we were preparing to hire a large number of nurses for the opening of Tradition Medical Center in December

of 2013,” said Sharon M. Kinane, coordinator of the Center for Clinical Excellence. The clinical education team developed a conceptual model for bridging the gap commonly experienced by new nurses transitioning into nursing practice. This new model provides novice nurses at Martin Health with a full-year of educational and psychosocial support that addresses clinical scenarios and advanced skill building and includes: a dedicated education unit where the novices spend their first few weeks of orientation; enhanced training for nurse preceptors (mentors) to include more online learning and an interactive workshop to problem solve in a group setting; and an assessment tool to monitor the individual growth and success of each orientee. “Using creativity and innovation, our clinical education team truly exemplified the ability to adapt to the changing needs of our newest clinical professionals, providing both the individuals and the organization with a better prepared and more confident care team,” Kinane said. The nurses on the Martin Health clinical education team were presented with a certificate and Best Nursing Team lapel pins and

are featured in a special website section for National Nurses Week: nursing.advanceweb.com/ Web-Extras/Online-Articles/Martin-Health-System.aspx. “Nurses should be celebrated for their independence and autonomy,” said Linda Jones of Advance for Nurses. “They have the ability to use their knowledge and skills and are not dependent on others to tell them what to do. Yet, nurses never truly work alone. More often, they are members of many teams simultaneously: the multidisciplinary care team, the unit, the nursing department, the hospital and the healthcare community. It is nurses’ commitment to cooperation in order to achieve best results that we celebrate nursing teams during National Nurses Week.” Martin Health System is a notfor-profit, community-based health care organization 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 3,700 associates, nearly 375 affiliated physicians and 900 volunteers provide care at 13 different locations serving Martin and St. Lucie counties.
