Candidates promise to prevent detox centers
FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2014
Hope depends on every adult’s contribution
Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER

TORINO — Marge Reimer stood behind her kitchen island, hunched over the marble countertop last Thursday as she and about 60 other Torino residents talked about what they could do to prevent developers from building sober homes and detoxification centers in their neighborhoods. Her home is situated in a residential area about a quarter-mile from the planned detox center, which is set to be built at the northwest corner of Northwest East Torino Parkway and Northwest Zenith Drive. Residents say there are two non-residential buildings within about a 2-mile radius from the center – two churches. “How anybody can look at this place and say, ‘Yes, let’s drop it right there in the middle of 3,000 homes,’ is beyond me,” Reimer said under a sign that read “God Bless Our Home,” as others sat and stood in her kitchen and living room. Reimer and her neighbors are sure their home values will decrease if the center is built, but there are only a few ways to stop

Jobs aplenty, workers maybe not Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

TREASURE COAST — The jobs are out there, the workers may not be. Maddie Williams, executive director of the Treasure Coast Builders Association, said member companies are looking high and low for workers with the skills they need.
“I have air conditioner, plumbing companies that are looking to hire but can’t find well trained people in the area,” she said. Joe Catrambone, president/ CEO of the Stuart/Martin County Chamber of Commerce, said many member businesses have the same problem, finding workers who match their needs. “I just got one last week from an accounting firm - a nice
entry-level job, but the talent isn’t here,” he said. Catrambone added, “(Armellini Logistics, Palm City) right now needs 10 drivers.” Both attributed the skilled labor shortage primarily to the protracted economic downturn set off by the Great Recession, starting in late 2007 and slow recovery.

ST. LUCIE WEST — Gina Carvelli, 14, began playing golf when she was 4. It was her father, John, and her grandmother who got her started. “Her grandma bought her a set of plastic golf clubs,” John Carvelli said. “I would break tees and stick them in the living room carpet. We’d use whiffle golf balls. You could see how well she hit them and how straight.” Gina began taking clinics for 4- and 5-yearolds at Jensen Beach Golf Academy, under the tutelage of PGA pro Bob Petelinkar, known as Bobby P. “She went to the academy every summer,” John Carvelli said. “She’d practice with the pro. He specialized in small children.” Gina, who just graduated from Palm Pointe Educational Research School at Tradition, will attend John Carroll High School this year. She began playing in local tournaments at 7. “I won the PGA Middle School Championship in St. Lucie County five times,” Gina said. “I competed on the U.S. Kids Golf Tour. I’m very competitive. At 11, I won Player of the Year. I had been in so many tournaments in Martin, St. Lucie and North Palm Beach where I’d gotten first and seconds.” Gina is looking forward to earning a place on the John Carroll Girls Golf team. She has already visited the University of South Caro-

Putting partisanship aside and making some tough choices
W
henever we’re home in Florida, our constituents always ask us about the country’s finances. The American people instinctively know that running mindless deficits and carrying an unsustainable debt load hurts our country and their families. They also know that a balanced budget cannot come without tough choices. Unfortunately, history has shown that Congress refuses to make those tough choices. But some choices don’t have to be tough. There are simple, common sense solutions to cut our deficit now. Democrats and Republicans should put partisan bickering aside and come together on things we do agree on: government should be more efficient, taxpayer dollars must not be wasted, and abuse of power must not be tolerated. That is
YOUR
Patrick Murphy why we, along with 10 other bipartisan Members of Congress, including eight members of the United Solutions Caucus, have introduced the third bill in the Savings, Accountability, Value,
VIEW
and Efficiency, or SAVE, Act series. Our latest bill will slash government spending by over $100 billion by implementing such simple solutions as buying software in bulk, preventing the Overseas Contingency Operations from being used as a slush fund and denying taxpayer-funded pensions for corrupt bureaucrats convicted of federal criminal charges. Committing ourselves to finding savings wherever they may be also means merely turning off government computers for four hours a night, improving the energy efficiency of our postal fleet and federal buildings and
fixing a system in which duplicate health payments are made in exchange for no added care or benefits. Fundamentally, these fiscally responsible measures are similar to actions taken by millions of Americans every day. To save money, we shop around and buy in bulk. We turn off electronics that are not in use. We set a household budget and we stick to it. These actions improve the financial health of families nationwide — it is only proper the federal government does the same on a wider scale. Combined with the provisions in the first two SAVE Acts — which alone would eliminate about $230 billion — Congress could save the federal government a third of a trillion dollars. This is enough money to fund our military’s salaries, healthcare and retirement benefits for over

it. Local lawmakers and others running for local seats attended to offer their thoughts, promising to prevent the center from being built. Sen. Joe Negron said sober homes are essentially businesses run out of a home as he stood in front of a fridge next to District 3 City Council candidate James Taylor. “We’re not saying it’s a bad enterprise, but there are better places for them … Midway (Road) would be better for something like this,” Negron said. Negron and others said the best way to do something about it is for the city council to overturn their previous decision to allow the center to be built. The planning and zoning board voted against changing a zoning distinction to allow a detox center in September, and the council voted to not allow the center to be built. But the council reversed its decision in March with a 3-1 vote after the city was sued by the developers for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by denying the center. Mayor JoAnn Faiella voted against it. Pam Booker, who was
4 years. Cutting $332 billion in waste, fraud, abuse, and inefficiency would show the American people that Congress is serious about the tax dollars it has been entrusted with. By passing the SAVE Acts, we could demonstrate that both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, despite gerrymandered districts, a 24-hour news cycle and a never-ending campaign cycle, can come together on behalf of the American people. We are proud this bill is represented by every corner of the United States and viewpoints on the left, right and center. Gridlock, bickering and shouting do nothing for the American people, but coming together to develop common sense solutions is what the public demands of its leaders. There is no arguing that, Washington is a mess, but as we work together on bills like the SAVE Acts, we can give the American people optimism that the government they deserve is closer to reality than they think.

DETOX from page A8 an assistant city attorney at the time, told the council the city would likely lose the lawsuit and be faced with paying up to $3 million, based on other cases. “I don’t think you should use the threat of that to make a decision,” Negron said. Those cases now weren’t like the one facing Torino, Taylor said. “They had nothing to do with our situation. One tried to kick out a detox facility that had already been in place. We’re not trying to kick them out of the city, but there are better places to put them to begin with,” Taylor said. District 1 Council candidate John DiMola said he’d vote to overturn it, as well as look into creating a new zoning distinction, like a social services zone for such centers. Councilman Ron Bowen said he’d work with whoever is elected to fix the situation. “Right after the primary, we should visit it again,” he said. “It was like the city threw up the white flag before it started.” The threat of a lawsuit shouldn’t have stopped the council from standing up for its residents, Armando Rodriguez, a Torino resident, said.
“We’re not saying it’s a bad enterprise, but there are better places for them … Midway (Road) would be better for something like this.” Senator Joe Negron “The lawsuit didn’t mean anything. You have to lose before you pay up. There is nothing in the (Americans with Disabilities Act) that says the city had to vote for it. It doesn’t fit in here,” he said, in under an archway leading to the kitchen. “What happened over there is they stopped listening to us.” The city could also try to swap the land with another, more suitable site with the developers, Negron said. “That might even be a better option,” he said. Two Republicans vying for a shot against Rep. Patrick Murphy, Carl Domino and Al Schlesinger, said they supported the Torino crowd. “This is very imminent,” Schlesinger said. “This is your chance in the election to get people who are willing to fight it.”

TRADITION — The Treasure Coast community was poised to welcome the state’s eighth veterans nursing home. Word was that the Florida Cabinet would hear and most likely approve the site-selection committee’s recommendation for Tradition to be awarded the next veterans home at its Aug. 19 meeting. Then — “Way disappointed,” said Wayne Teegardin, St. Lucie County’s veterans services manager. Word hit that the item was pulled from the cabinet’s Aug. 19 agenda because legislators from other parts of the state raised questions about the committee’s process in picking Tradition over eight other prospective sites in six counties. State Sen. Joe Negron, Stuart, said he’s unaware of who might have raised objections. “I think it’s expected and something we can anticipate that there’ll be a robust competition,” he said. A robust competition because a state veterans home brings with it construction and a lot of medical jobs. Negron said that if legislators raised legitimate objections to delay any actions on selecting Tradition for the next veterans home, it’s a matter of them doing what they were elected to do. “Part of your job is to look out for your community,” he said. There’s a wrinkle in the tablecloth, however. Spokespeople at the Governor’s Mansion — who wished not to be quoted until they could get additional information — said the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs never asked for the veterans home to get consideration at the August Cabinet meeting. Steve Murray, site selection committee member and communications director at the state veterans department, said there’s a reason Gov. Rick Scott’s office couldn’t find a record of the veterans home being pulled from this month’s agenda.
“It was never formally placed on the Cabinet agenda,” he said. Murray, who was returning to his office from a vacation, said the veterans department intended to have the veterans home placed on the Cabinet’s agenda. He wasn’t sure why it hadn’t been. “The site-selection committee’s recommendation has been temporarily postponed,” he said. “That all I can say at the moment.” The site-selection committee members met by conference call on July 1 to discuss their thoughts after visiting perspective sites. That meeting was open to members of the public listening in. Murray said they used score sheets to grade the prospective locations. “(Cabinet members) don’t have to (follow the committee’s recommendation), but, I can tell you with the previous seven homes, the governor and cabinet have not gone against us,” Murray said in a previous interview. During its 2013 session, the Florida Legislature approved about $100,000 for an independent study to determine whether a new veterans nursing home was needed, and if so, where it should go. Scott and the cabinet considered the study, which Health Strategies did, at a February meeting in Tampa. Scott and the Cabinet opted to send letters to the top 10 counties the study identified as good places for veterans homes requesting letters of interest back from them. “Eight of the 10 counties did send us letters of intent telling us they were interested in bidding,” Murray said in a previous interview. Murray said that St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties were in that list. Palm Beach didn’t send a letter of intent. Others on the list were Lee, Collier, Polk, Manatee, Hillsborough, Marion, Putnam and Sumter. The closest veteran nursing home to the Treasure Coast is the Alexander “Sandy” Nininger Veterans’ Nursing Home, 8401

St. Lucie West to get lit for Christmas STAFF WRITER
bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE WEST — In a narrow 3-2 vote, the Port St. Lucie City Council approved spending about $100,000 on leasing holiday lights and Christmas displays to attract shoppers along St. Lucie West Boulevard. The goal is to attract shoppers during the most active shopping season of the year, instead of watching them leave to other
places like West Palm Beach, Councilwoman Michelle Berger said. “We’re finally becoming that city you don’t have to leave to get stuff done,” Berger said. The decorations are scheduled to be up from just before Thanksgiving until early January. Different stretches along the road will have different themes, including Santa’s workshop, reindeer run and Candyland. Each section will have grounded displays and garland-wrapped
trees and utility poles, according to a memorandum. Mayor JoAnn Faiella and Councilman Ron Bowen voted against the lights. “I think we should set the millage rate and then address Christmas lights,” Bowen said. The lights will likely attract more shoppers than in past years, but City Manager Jeff Bremer said staff will study the effects of the pilot program to see if it will be viable for future years. There’s also a chance it will be expanded.

FORT PIERCE — Nearly every college football recruiter who visits Fort Pierce Central to scout left tackle Stewart Reese ends up offering him a scholarship. “Some of the smaller schools have just given up hope, I think,” Central head coach Josh Shaffer said. “They know the attention he’s getting.” The 6-foot-5, 335-pound junior is ranked No. 222 on ESPN’s list of top 300 prospects for 2016 and has offers from Miami, University of Florida, Michigan State and defending NCAA National Champion Florida State, among other schools. Alabama and Auburn are also interested, Shaffer said. “It really hasn’t hit me yet, but I know it will,” Reese said. With all the attention and early success, Shaffer wants Reese to

not fall into a trap that others have gotten into at his age and become complacent with where he’s at as player. “The key is, how does he handle all this? He needs to realize this just puts him on the map. He hasn’t arrived yet,” Shaffer said. Reese has been trying to get on the map since he started playing football when he was 12 in the PSLAA league. He said he realized he had a realistic shot at playing college ball when he was in seventh grade. “I was at a Westwood basketball game, and one of my mom’s students was being recruited to play football for Purdue. I walked into the gym, and the recruiter asked the basketball coach if I played football.” Reese looked the part, back then, too, at 6-foot-3 280 pounds. Shaffer had a similar reaction

Though there is a Tesla Supercharging station for those of you that have the $70,000 electric car. 3. Lack of various industry and manufacturing companies being drawn in, for example, a Smith & Wesson manufacturing plant. 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? More collaborative negotiations and not adversarial responses to any given situation. More workshops to develop better communications and sharing of ideas. We are all St Lucie County and it shouldn’t be them against us. All cities are facing fiscal chal-
lenges. How would you address balancing the budget and consider various alternatives and trade-offs? To definitely work with staff to dig out where there are massive amounts of our tax dollars being misdirected and vigorously cut wasteful spending. To avoid raising our city taxes by 50 percent to pay off unsustainable debts by depleting the general fund. A structured default could be a measure needed for Port St Lucie not to become another Detroit. 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? I would like to see the actual center of town by city hall and the surrounding businesses developed to reflect a downtown with multi-use concept an actual physical city center. Similar to Delray Beach or Stuart. Yet without an improving tax base and jobs re-development & re-vitalization will need to be put on hold until the debts are resolved. What do you think would make Port St. Lucie a better place to live? To aggressively attract better paying employers, to address our
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM
mobility issues by working with All Aboard Florida for either a station here off Walton Road or to encourage going back to the turnpike corridor (which would have probably zero public resistance) with a station in Port St Lucie and to promote more culturally diverse events since Port St Lucie is such a cosmopolitan area. What sets you apart from the other candidates in this race? I am not a career politician, never ran for an office before nor am I looking for a future career in politics. I am regular person who’s rolling up her sleeves to do the work needed to make PSL a destination point. I may not say what you want to hear — yet I will be straight with you. I bring a common sense business approach to dealing with challenges we have in the city. I really think outside the box to resolve issues in a non-adversarial manner. What are three achievable goals that you would champion during your term in office? 1. Restore fiscal transparency to we the taxpayers. We should know what deals are being made — no matter what as it is our money being spent. 2. Work with input from businesses (existing and new) to address and change archaic business stifling ordinances
3. Be the conduit for the people’s voices and ideas to be heard What is the most pressing issue for the residents in St. Lucie West and Tradition? No answer provided. How should the city handle the vacant Digital Domain building? Sell to the best and highest bidder that brings the city/us the most net profit to the table, just like you would your house. No offer less than the appraised value should be considered. Offers presented recently were tabled until after the primary. I do not believe it is council’s place to ask for business plans or decide if a buyer has a “sustainable” business. Our concern is bottom line in the pocket to pay down the “un-sustainable debt” we’re burdened with. How can the city help save the Indian River Lagoon? By showing support to stop the destruction by letters, calls, and vote to get the candidates in that will make a difference. By pressing the Army Corps of Engineers to restore the original locks damaged after the hurricanes where the water was being released into the ocean, thus causing no damage to the lagoon.

What do you perceive as the three most important concerns facing the city of Port St. Lucie? First and foremost, the city needs to get back on track by representing the people with sensible decisions and tenacity. Accountability is paramount. When a decision is made, it needs to be owned, not justified with a disclaimer. Next, the people need economy-appropriate employment. I know far too many people that are forced to work two or three jobs to provide for their families. Lastly, the budget needs to be balanced and debt reduced and quickly. The city of beautiful medians that hinder drivers’ sight and no sidewalks for our children needs to change its priorities. 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?

I have been in Port St. Lucie for the majority of my life and moved here at 5 from Northern New York. My father is local still, and I am unmarried with no children. I came up through the school system here, from Morningside Academy to Northport Middle and graduating from Port St. Lucie High. In the Army JROTC program at PSLHS, my leadership training motivated me to continue on a path of service. Further education through IRSC is progressing towards a degree in Public Administration. I understand the value of hard work and sacrifice.
The city and the county both would benefit from reaching out to the local business community and private citizens. The relationship between the private and public sectors should be symbiotic, not combative. Taxpayers are the boss, and they should be treated as such. Forming joint committees and partnerships would increase citizens’ confidence in government and give them more satisfaction that their concerns are being handled with vigor. I believe that the city and county tax offices need to work together and simplify the tax code

Central’s defensive line the key Brandon Zeris STAFF WRITER
bzeris@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PORT St. LUCIE — Fort Pierce Central looks poised for another successful year after losing 17-7 to Tampa’s Plant High School in the regional final last year, and the defensive line looks ready to lead the way. Central’s defensive line is young, but they’re ready to make opposing offenses frustrated with their pass rush and quickness. The front four features just one returning starter in junior defensive tackle Will Davis, but he says this group is better than last year’s that featured defensive end Rashawn Shaw, who is now playing at Wake Forrest after recording 17 sacks in 2013. “I think, overall, we have better pass rushers than last year,” Davis said. “I think we can get five sacks or more a game.” One of players looking to step up and fill Shaw’s shoes is junior left end Anthony Knighton, who already has a scholarship offer from Cincinnati, according
Fort Pierce Central High School’s offense and defense work on their skills in a scrimmage to prepare for the opening of the Friday night lights football season. Central plays at Lawnwood Stadium against Royal Palm Beach Friday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m.
to Central defensive coordinator Charlie Matthews. “He’s our quiet leader. He’s a real smart player and tells them what’s going on all the time,” Matthews said. The line is determined to make a difference, Knighton said. “Our motor is our strength. Most of these guys just won’t quit until that whistle blows,” Knighton said. Senior Rodney Innocent will play opposite Knighton at right end. While the sacks are usually the most sought after stat for every defensive lineman, the unit’s run defensive has been good, too, with Davis and fellow defensive tackles Lafayette Ashley, Benson Joseph and Jeremiah Hyde all rotating in. “Those guys keep blockers off of (middle linebacker) Greg Simmons, and it allows him to roam free and make plays,” Matthews said. “We talk about redirecting the line of scrimmage a lot. By the time the play is over, I want it pushed back onto their side.”

It was unbelievable to play his course.” “She’s met him,” John said. “Gina left a picture of them when she was 10, and he sent back a signed golf ball that said, ‘To Gina, Best Wishes, Arnold Palmer.’” “I made friends,” Gina said. I’m still in contact. When you play, you meet different people.” Gina is an honor student, graduating from Palm Pointe with a 3.8 GPA. She won the school history and science fairs. Her history project dealt with the abuse of women’s rights in the clothing industry in Bangladesh. That project also placed second in the district. Her science project, “Time to Glow,” was about which textures and materials remained brightest for the longest time when painted with glow-in-the dark paint.

VETERANS from page A11 W. Cypress Drive, Pembroke Pines. The next closest is the Emory L. Bennett State Veterans’ Nursing Home, 1920 Mason Ave., Daytona Beach. Bennett was built in 1993. Nininger in 2001. Murray said the last home was built in 2010. That was the Clyde E. Lassen State Veterans’ Nursing Home in St. Augustine. That home cost about $30 million to build. The state paid about 35 percent of the costs. The VA paid about 65 percent. Other homes are in Land O’ Lakes, Panama City and Port Charlotte. The assisted living facility is in Lake City. Murray said the FDVA has the needed money for its share to go forward with building a state veterans nursing home, because of changes the Legislature made to its trust funds last session. The trust has about $47 million. Teegardin said in a previous interview that there are numerous reasons Tradition and the Treasure Coast would benefit from a veterans home. “They’re supposed to hire around 190 people to run it, in addition to the construction jobs it’ll create,” he said.

to the scout when he met Reese three years ago. “I said, ‘Man, who is that kid?’” Since then, Reese has become arguably the area’s best lineman. He still has work to do, but he’s aware of his shortcomings and is working to improve. With two seasons remaining in his high school career, time is on his side. “I need to work on my run blocking. I just need to hold my blocks.” Shaffer said Reese will need to watch his weight and keep lifting weights to get stronger and faster. Reese is also a center and power forward for the school’s basketball team, which he says helps with his footwork. Few tackles his age are as good as he is at protecting the quarterback, though. Many his size
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM The home would serve veterans for about a 75-mile radius. Teegardin said that makes Tradition an ideal location for a veterans home. “(The local) 75-mile radius is estimated to have 211,647 veterans in it,” he said, “Of those, 112,758 are over age 65, which is the target of the nursing home.” The Cabinet has a meeting scheduled for September. Representative Gayle Harrell of Port St. Lucie said it’s important for the community to rally to get the veterans department and Cabinet to approve the veterans home for Tradition at that meeting. There won’t be another until November, after the general elections. “If this drags on, we may miss the opportunity for the nursing home altogether,” she said. The cabinet is made up of Attorney General Pam Bondi, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam, and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater. The Tradition Land Company donated about 28 acres to St. Lucie County to bolster its bid to get the next home. The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs is not associated with the federal Department of Veterans Affairs.

have trouble with being able enough to stop agile defensive ends, but Reese is surprisingly quick after the snap at getting to the outside to slow down defenders. His long wingspan helps, too. Last year, Reese had the benefit of practicing against RaShawn Shaw, who is now playing at Wake Forest. “Practicing against him every day last year really helped me get my footwork and be a good pass-blocker,” Reese said. Central’s quarterback Jake Celidonio shouldn’t have to worry much when he drops back in the pocket. “I know my backside is always protected. With his reach, his footwork, I don’t see anybody getting around him,” Celidonio said. “Sometimes I can’t see over him, though,” he said.
ZAGROBELNY from page A20 as the Floresta, Airoso, and River Park communities, could use the attention of revitalization efforts. Seeking out assistance from local businesses and organizations in the form of professional expertise, as well as the residents of those communities, would be key to succeeding. There are still too many portions of the city that suffer from flooding issues due to drainage issues, and that too needs to be addressed. What do you think would make Port St. Lucie a better place to live? Bringing attractions and entertainment to the city are key to our future. Many people have to drive a half hour or more outside of our community to do such things. However, without money to pay for any of it, even more are usually stuck at home searching for jobs (or have simply given up). We need to foster a healthy environment for small businesses to establish, grow and stay in Port St. Lucie. Overhauling the tax and sign codes would be a significant first step in doing so. Sidewalks and lighting are crucial to include in any proposed community development.
YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS • ST. LUCIE WEST/TRADITION • AUGUST 22, 2014 • A23 What sets you apart from the other candidates in this race? I have an excellent track record of direct leadership in a community environment. My five years at Frenchman’s Creek, one of the most discerning communities in Florida, have been spent developing and administering community operations and safety programs. Becoming a supervisor of security at the age of 22, I have used my customer relations and critical thinking skills to handle hundreds of emergency cases and make sound decisions affecting thousands of people. I have proven myself as an effective leader and instructor, and earned the respect of the community, my peers, and superiors. No other candidate can claim that leadership. What are three achievable goals that you would champion during your term in office? Restoring public confidence in public servants is one such goal. Making yourself available is not enough. Council members should actively seek out citizen groups, individuals and businesses for their input. Bringing jobs to the area that people can rely on will be a crucial accomplishment I
will succeed at. There is no limit to what sectors we should be seeking out because our populace is as varied in trade as they are in viewpoints.Finally, the budget will be reviewed and analyzed tooth and nail. I will not accept the raising of property taxes as the only viable solution. What is the most pressing issue for the residents in St. Lucie West and Tradition? The general consensus is that they are up in arms (rightfully so) about the detox center approved in the Torino area. Having taken a drive through there, I have seen that there are a couple of churches and the rest is all residential property. That’s exactly how the people who have bought property (and paid hefty taxes on) like it. Their quality of life should not be diminished nor their property values suffer when there are alternatives. The city needs to work with the community to find a common ground solution for this instead of forcing it down their throats. How should the city handle the vacant Digital Domain building? The city needs to get as much money as possible for the Tra-

“The problem is when the bottom fell out of the building and trade industry, those journeymen headed to where they could find jobs,” Catrambone said. From 2008 to 2013 Florida’s unemployment was higher than the nation’s. On average, the Treasure Coast’s unemployment was higher than the state’s. On Friday, Aug. 22, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity released its latest monthly employment report. St. Lucie County checked in with an 8.7 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the month of July, the state’s eighth highest. Martin came in with a not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 6.8 percent. It ranked 30 out of the state’s 67 counties. The state had a 6.2 percent seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in July, unchanged from June. The nation went from a 6.1 percent seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June to 6.2 percent in July. The state had about 261,000 advertised job openings, with about 597,000 workers seeking them.

dition Studio property. That means the ultimate net sale price needs to be factored in, not the gross. An $8 million net sale for the property is unacceptable, and the city should not take less than the appraised $12.7 million net, especially considering there has already been a $15 million offer on the table. The City Council’s job right now should be to find the best real estate deal for the citizens and not harass or drive away potential buyers by nosing into their business plans. How can the city help save the Indian River Lagoon? As a member of the City Council, there is limited legislative authority that we would have over the actual Indian River Lagoon. That said, striving to make our city as ‘green’ as possible and raising public awareness of toxins and pollutants that affect the quality of our water is greatly important. Partnering with private and public entities to educate the public is essential. The integrity of the environment is our responsibility, and elected officials should act as advocates for the concerns of the citizens, and pushing whichever entities are accountable to get the best results we can.

Palm Coast had a 9.5 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate. The Treasure Coast traditionally has an employment slump during the summer months, primarily because of a different tourist season than other parts of the Sunshine State. “You’ve got to look at (unemployment) over the year; you can’t look at it every month,” Odaly Victorio communications coordinator for CareerSource Research Coast, said. In July 2013, Martin had a not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 8.1 percent. St. Lucie 10.8 percent. The year before, Martin was at 9 percent, St. Lucie 12.4. Williams and Catrambone said the area’s unemployment rate would likely be lower if more skilled workers were available to fill open jobs on the Treasure Coast. In addition to getting employment, those individuals would create economic ripple. Statewide, those who lost jobs

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — The Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach has announced its upcoming season, with theater, comedy, lectures and fun events for kids. The season opens Sept. 5-6 with the Comedy Zone Experience. This is the Riverside’s showcase of professional comedians, who perform on the Waxlax stage and local musicians, who perform on the Live in the Loop stage. Comics for the first show are Frankie Paul and Rahn Hortman; on the 19 and 20, Ron Feingold and James Yon take the stage. On Sept. 27, the Riverside opens its backstage doors, so audiences can see how it all happens. The event, from 10 a.m.4 p.m. is free and will feature performances by the Riverside Children’s Theatre actors. The Comedy Zone Experience continues Oct. 3-4 with James Sibley and Nat Baimel, Oct. 17-18 with Al Romas and John Consoli and Oct. 31-Nov. 1 with Mark Klein and Ron Placone. Riverside Children’s Theatre has an early Halloween treat for

The first musical of the season is “The Bikinis,” Oct. 28-Nov. 16. Created and written by Ray Roderick and James Hindman, the feel-good show tells the story of a girl group from the Jersey shore that reunites after 20 years to raise money for the Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach resort. The show features songs like “It’s in His Kiss,” “Heat Wave,” “When Will I be Loved” and “I Will Survive.” In November, the Comedy Zone features Paul Lyons and Brian Thomas Nov. 14-15.

St. Lucie County launches new commercial retrofit program FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners and the non-profit Solar and Energy Loan Fund, or SELF, are pleased to announce the creation of a new Property-Assessed Clean Energy program, or PACE, in St. Lucie County. The local program was customized over the last several years, and the parties recently secured a substantial line of credit from an affiliate of Inland Green Capital, LLC. St. Lucie County’s new PACE program will provide upfront financing to commercial, industrial, non-profit and multi-family property owners for energy efficiency, renewable energy, wind hazard mitigation and water conservation projects. The voluntary PACE program involves land-secured assessments that stay with the property and mirror similar repayment procedures for street lighting districts, water and sewer connections, storm water and infrastructure projects and other neighborhood improvements. The new PACE program simply expands these alternative financing options into the energy, water, wind hazard mitigation and sustainability sectors. PACE financing is not a personal or business loan, but rather a voluntary non-ad valorem assessment that is paid off over time as a part of the annual property tax bill. To be eligible for PACE financing, property owners must have equity in their property and must be current on all local taxes over the previous three years. PACE financing is available on 5- 10- 15- and 20-year terms, with reasonable fixed interest rates. St. Lucie County has partnered
with SELF to help create and administer the new PACE program, and Inland has agreed to provide financing for individual projects. SELF also operates a complementary home energy retrofit loan program through their certified Community Development Financial Institution, which has financed nearly $2.4 million of home energy improvements in the Treasure Coast region. SELF also provides energy expertise and project management for all projects from start to finish. “The county is excited to officially launch the new PACE program,” said Frannie Hutchinson, chairwoman of the St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners. “Local businesses are the backbone of our economy, and the new PACE program will help them complete much-needed upgrades, increase efficiencies, reduce operating costs, harden structures against hurricanes, and stimulate local economic development activity.” “The county’s new PACE program provides additional financing options that will enable local property owners to achieve substantial savings on energy, water, and insurance rates,” said SELF’s executive director Doug Coward. “The retrofits will also promote redevelopment, enhance property values, create local jobs and reduce environmental impacts to air and water resources.” “We are pleased to be working with St. Lucie County and SELF to create new PACE financing programs for the local community,” said Inland’s senior vice president Mark Pikus. “Inland Green Capital is one of the premiere investors in PACE nationwide, and we are staunch proponents of PACE as a vehicle to fund energy

JOBS from page A23 went up slightly. They went from being 55 percent of the unemployed to 55.2 percent. Those voluntarily leaving jobs without immediate prospects for another went down slightly, as did those re-entering the job market. “The brand new people is actually up,” Victorio said. “Last month, it was 9.8 (percent of the unemployed). This month it’s 10.3. They have felt that this is a good time to go out there and find a job.” But those new workers aren’t the people many local companies with job openings are seeking. “We’re trying to assist the industry in finding the skilled labor, but it’s been tough,” Williams said. “They are having a tough time finding the right people.” Williams said experienced workers who are sitting out the jobs market would likely do well to get back in now. Catrambone, too, said it’s an experienced workers’ market locally. “I’m seeing everyone in a hiring mode, especially those in the building and trade,” he said. The unemployment rate is calculated using a variety of methods. Among them are telephone interviews with workers. Those that report not having jobs and looking for employment in the previous 30 days are counted as unemployed, whether or not they have, have applied for or are receiving unemployment-compensation. Discouraged workers — those who are able to work and want jobs, but have not sought employment in the previous 30 days — are not counted in the unemployment figure. Many call this “shadow unemployment,” and it’s inherently difficult to track due to variations for why people don’t seek jobs.
