FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST – A St. Lucie West philanthropist is on a mission to show his friends, family and neighbors that all it takes to inspire big change in the community is a little bit of time and effort. On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Scott Van Duzer of the Van Duzer Foundation and an entourage of high-profile community leaders gathered together at 31st Street
and Avenue G in Fort Pierce armed with a football and a willingness to play. “It’s a neighborhood that has been prone to violence in the past,” said Sheriff Mascara. “That area was commonly referred to as ‘Little Vietnam’ because of the gunshots heard there at night.” “A lot of kids don’t utilize that park because there is bad activity in that area,” Van Duzer said. Now, for one hour every Tuesday, Van Duzer wants to “take back the park.”
Van Duzer and Sheriff Ken Mascara went knocking on neighborhood doors around 4:30 p.m. asking parents if their children could join them for a game of touch football in the neighborhood park. Dubbed “The First Step” project, the goal of Van Duzer’s Tuesday night activity in the park is twofold. “We’re trying to reach the kids, keep them busy and keep good people in their lives,” Van Duzer

ST. LUCIE WEST — The Honorable Cliff Barnes never planned on becoming a judge. In fact, he never planned on practicing criminal defense law or getting involved in politics at all. Now, as Judge Barnes counts down the days to his Dec. 31 retirement, he looks back on 35-year career chock full of things he said he would never do. “I would do it all again, Cliff Barnes and I wouldn’t change a thing,” Judge Barnes said. Barnes spent his childhood in St. Lucie County, left to attend law school, and returned to begin practicing criminal defense law in the County in 1981. In 1992, he was elected to the County Commission and spent 10 years serving in that capacity as he continued practicing law

Dear Your Voice News & Views Readers
“As an experienced hearing aid wearer, I know the importance of getting accurate information about your hearing loss and all of the hearing aids out there. I have seen all of the big ads talking about hearing aids and I was so confused that I attended one of Joe Mutter’s Hearing Healthcare Informational Seminars. I was so pleased to find out that the seminar was just that; education and information for people with hearing loss and how to make smart decisions when shopping for not only a hearing aid but a hearing healthcare provider too! I was very impressed with the information presented and decided to work with Joe for my new hearing aids, I am so glad I did! Joe provides a great service and does not do the old bait and switch routine. I’ve had my new hearing aid for over a year now and could not be more pleased with Joe, the hearing aid, the exceptional care, and service that Joe puts into ensuring that I hear as well as I possibly can! I strongly encourage anyone thinking about getting a hearing aid or if you suspect you have hearing loss to attend one of Joe’s seminars. Joe provides excellent service anytime you need him, he will be there for you!” James McCallion Pt. St. Lucie, Florida
We’ll expose the truth about hearing aids that most companies DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW! Leave your checkbook at home. No hearing aids will be sold at this seminar.

Council wants beefed up McCarty Ranch discussion Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — CMD Cattle said it’d be happy to spruce up part of the 3,000-acre McCarty Ranch Preserve, west of Tradition. It offered to mow 12 times a year, fix up fences, and remove pepper trees and other invasive plants. There’s no charge to the city, which owns the preserve. All it has to do is ink the contract for CMD to graze cattle there from 2016 to 2026, with an option for an additional 10 years. The City Council considered the offer at its Oct. 12 regular meeting. “I don’t like locking the city in,” Councilman Ron Bowen said at the meeting. “We don’t know what we’re doing with McCarty Ranch in 10 years.” Councilwoman Michelle Berger said Bowen was persuasive. “I would be aligning with Councilman Bowen on this item,” she said at the meeting. Councilwoman Shannon Martin joined in the reluctance. “That’s a good point,” she said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen with that property.” Mayor Greg Oravec said he was disappointed that the city staff
didn’t offer any explanations before asking the council to consider the proposed contract. “For me, I’d prefer a presentation on an item like this,” he said. The city bought the property in 2012 for $10 million with an eye toward using it to build a water treatment facility. The city expects to more than double in population by 2060. At the time, the land was in the county. The two governments had a sharp dispute over its annexation. They resolved it last October. In addition to preparing for the future construction of a water-treatment facility, which would draw water from the C-23 and purify it, the city uses McCarty Ranch for recreational facilities. Earlier this year the city put out an offer for grazing on about 300 acres of McCarty in exchange for the work. Five companies responded, including CMD. At the meeting, Oravec said it seemed obvious that the council would prefer tabling the proposed contract until the city staff could answer questions about what might happen with the 300 acres over the next decade or two. “We’ll see you when you’re ready,” he told Jeff Bremer, city manager, and staff.

TREASURE COAST — The U.S. Army Parachute Team is dropping in at the 2015 Stuart Air Show. The team is better known as the “Golden Knights.” “We’re really excited about them,” Elisabeth Glynn, executive director of the air show, said. “They’re the world’s most elite parachute team.” The Stuart Air Show is ramping up the excitement on Friday, Oct. 30, 5 to 10 p.m. “We have a really beautiful night show,” Glynn said. The night features the Dirty Flight Suit Party. The name comes from the tradition of performers showing up in their dirty flight suits. The party has all the trimmings — dinner, chances to meet the performers, and premium seats to watch the inaugural show. Tickets are $90.
See AIRSHOW page A15
“There’s also general admission for people who just want to throw down a blanket, get hot dogs and beer, and watch the night show and fireworks,” Glynn said. Folks who drop by the web site before Wednesday, Oct. 28, can get general-admission tickets for $15. They’re $25 at the gate. Veterans and active duty folks get tickets for $5, whether at the gate or online. Proof of military service will be checked at the gate. Youths ages 6 to 12 are also $5. Those ages 5 and younger are free. The air-show action continues on Saturday with gates opening at 9 a.m. They’ll open on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 9 a.m., too. Gates are open until 5 p.m. both days. The Navy is sending a Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet to the show. Not to be outdone, the Air Force will be there with a
Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon. This year the Air National Guard will be at the Stuart Air Show, too, sponsoring John Klatt Airshows. “We’ve got some great civilian performances as well,” Glynn said. “We have Prowlers of the Pacific, which is something new here.” The Prowlers will offer a demonstration of World War II tactical flying in period aircraft. Glynn said Redline Air Shows will be one hand, too. “That’s two planes flying together doing an amazing air acrobatics show,” she said. Redline is pilots Ken Rieder and Jon Thocker and their twin Van’s RV-8s. Other performances will be the AeroShell Aerobatic Team, Chefpitts, Dan Buchanan, Oliver’s Flying Circus, and more. Also planned is an Air Force Heritage

Peacocks in King’s Isle bring back memories of bird invasion Lisa Barry
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST — A family of peafowl has taken up residence in St. Lucie West’s Kings Isle neighborhood, and for now, they seem to be welcomed guests. While some Kings Isle families are enjoying their new-found colorful, neighborhood mascots, others are having déjà vu of a noisy, messy peacock invasion that plagued parts of St. Lucie and Martin Counties about 15 years ago. “We moved to the area in 1999, I had just arrived, and suddenly, they just appeared,” said Kings Isle resident Everett Child, of the peafowl. Child also serves as one of five elected supervisors of the St. Lucie West Services District, and brought the birds to the board’s attention on another resident’s behalf in a recent meeting. Child remembers speculation that the birds multiplied from a few peafowl actress Frances Langford released near her home and restaurant in Martin County. Langford, popular for her movie and entertainment career that launched in 1935, was a longtime Stuart resident and owned a large estate in Jensen Beach. She is known locally for opening the Outrigger restaurant and resort in Jensen Beach that was re-bannered the Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House in the 1990s,

There were complaints about them flying up on the roofs and their waste being an issue,” said Bryan Lloyd, supervisor of Port St. Lucie Animal Control. according to the restaurant’s website. “[Langford] took in some peacocks and let them run wild,” Child said the story goes. “There was not much in the way of fences, so they just multiplied.” Supervisor of Port St. Lucie Animal Control, Bryan Lloyd, came on staff around the same time Child remembers the peacocks

becoming a problem. “There were people who had them for pets, and they got loose and started procreating,” Lloyd said. Lloyd remembers small concentrations of the birds causing frustration in a few areas of the County. “They are very loud birds,” Lloyd said. “There were complaints about them flying up on the roofs and their waste being an issue.” Lloyd also remembers cases in which peacocks blocked traffic for short periods of time on Southwest Import in Port St. Lucie. “We never received complaints about them being a danger,” Lloyd said. Child said the peacocks that recently showed up on Zanzibar Lane in Kings Isle are not provoking resident complaints…yet. He reported one large male, two females and a small “nerf ball” sized bird make up the current group. They appear in or near the same yard every day to every other day, and have not caused much notable damage so far. One resident did report one of the birds has a habit of perching on his flat lanai roof and eating the roofing material. No matter how much the Kings Isle “party” of peafowl grows, animal control will not be able to do much to assist the residents, Lloyd said. “Peacocks are difficult to cap-
ture. It’s not something we attempt on a regular basis. If we’re able to catch one, it’s because they are sick or injured,” Lloyd said. The best way to stunt the peacock population, Lloyd advised, is to stop feeding them. In Port St. Lucie, there is a city ordinance against owning or feeding peafowl. If someone did call animal control in regards to a peafowl, Lloyd said he would give the person information on how to deter the peacocks from their property. If animal control has to capture a peacock, it generally results in the death of the bird, something Lloyd said animal control tries to avoid. Florida Fish and Wildlife classifies peafowl as a nonnative wildlife species first introduced to the state in the 1950’s. They were first documented in St. Lucie County in 1986. Peafowl “population persists only with repeated introductions and/or escapes of individuals,” according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website. For now, the Kings Isle peacocks are a pleasant part of the neighborhood scenery, Child said. If the numbers start to grow and reports of damage start to come in, he will bring the issue back before the St. Lucie West Services District to discuss a next course of action.

part-time. The big ticket item that piqued Barnes’ interest during his time as Commissioner was the debate over building a new $30 million county jail. “I knew it was kind of a waste of money to build a new jail when we weren’t using our old one efficiently,” Barnes said. As Commissioner, Barnes began advocating for a pre-trial services program that allowed select defendants to await trial in their own homes, under supervision, to cut down on the number of people tax payers were supporting in jail cells. The Commission would go on to approve his pre-trial services program, but Barnes was not done advocating for change in the criminal defense system. In 2004 Barnes was elected judge, marking the beginning of two consecutive 6-year terms on the bench. “When you’re part of politics, you have to persuade people to get what you want,” Barnes said. “The great thing about being a judge is, you get your way every single time,” he added. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had.” For roughly four years, Barnes has presided exclusively over criminal cases. Prior to that, he split his time between civil, small claims and criminal cases. Today, most of the defendants that appear before Barnes in court are facing DUI, domestic violence, and other common misdemeanor charges. When it comes to handing down sentences, Barnes many times chooses to be a judge of second chances. “Sometimes people just need a push or shove to get going in the right direction,” Barnes said. “A lot of times, when I give people the choice of probation or going to get their GED or a full-time job, they will come back to show me their GED or tell me what they’re doing for work now.” Giving the accused an opportunity to make better decisions for themselves can be life changing, Barnes argues. Sometimes, the most life-changing sentences do result in jail time. “I’ve had people thank me for giving them a year in jail because they discovered the answers to their drug addiction,” Barnes said. “Sometimes it takes jail time to change a life; sometimes it takes patience and a push in the right direction.” Around a dozen applicants are interviewing to replace Judge Barnes’ position with the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in St. Luc-
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM
“The great thing about being a judge is, you get your way every single time. It’s the best job I’ve ever had.” Judge Cliff Barnes ie County. Whoever the Governor chooses to fill the spot, Barnes hopes above all else, it will be a person who will look for the best in other people. “Of the people who come before me, about 70 percent are good people. They haven’t dedicated their life to doing the wrong thing. If you give them a chance or maybe even two chances to do the right thing, they will,” Barnes said. Too many times, Barnes sees judges get “demoralized” at the 30 percent who “snub their nose and treat [judges] with disrespect,” he said. The Honorable Judge Philip Yacucci of St. Lucie County has worked with or near Barnes since the early 1980s, first in private practice together and now presiding in the same courthouse. “It’s always sad when you see a friend leave,” Yacucci said of Barnes. “Cliff has always been very consistent and passionate about his positions.” Yacucci added, just as Judge Nirlaine Smartt took over where Judge Thomas Walsh left off this summer “without missing a beat,” he expects the Governor will appoint someone who will come in and do a great job in Barnes’ absence. Though Barnes is still unsure of what the future holds for him in the next several years, he is planning on a long surfing trip to Hawaii this winter and spring. After that, his options are wide open. “I don’t know if I’ll come back and get a real job, or become a beach bum,” Barnes said. For now, Barnes said he is happy to look back on a career that allowed him to be a part of a larger group of people working to improve the justice system in St. Lucie County. The 19th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission is conducting interviews to fill Barnes’ position. The committee will recommend six names to Governor Scott who will then have 60 days to appoint Barnes’ successor.

“Because patient care should always come first”
Photo courtesy of Scott Van Duzer Scott Van Duzer of St. Lucie West hangs with ‘Little D’ before the start of the ‘First Steps’ touch football in a community in Fort Pierce riddled with violence. “One child at a time. Little D was waiting at the park for us,” said Van Duzer.
STEPS from page A1 said. “And we want to encourage and motivate others to step up and do something themselves. We want to prove to people that it doesn’t take a lot of money or resources. Just show up at a park with a football.” Fort Pierce Mayor Linda Hudson and County Commissioner Kim Johnson joined the group at the park, along with a slew of other local business owners, public safety officials and government figures. After the 20 minute football game, kids were given a chance to talk to and interact with the adults at the park for 20 minutes. Before the hour wrapped up, the kids were treated to free pizza, soda and water. “We’re right smack in the mid-

It’s probably the roughest part of Fort Pierce that we’re trying to help,” Van Duzer said. “We know one hour is not going to solve problems for them in their lives, but it will give them something to look forward to every Tuesday.” “Sometimes we have to create an atmosphere that’s abnormal or unusual, like adults playing football with kids in the middle of the day,” said County Commissioner Kim Johnson. Just the presence of new adults taking a genuine interest in the youth of the neighborhood intrigued the kids and their parents, Johnson said. “It got them excited,” Johnson said.

The History of Halloween Brought to you by
Once upon a time a man called Stingy Jack invited the devil to have a drink with him. Jack, who lived up to his Moniker, did not want to spend money so he persuaded the devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to pay. The devil agreed but instead of buying the drinks Jack decided to keep the money. He put it deep down inside his pocket beside a silver cross which kept the devil from turning back to his original form. Eventually Jack decided to let the devil go as long as he promised not to bother Jack for one more year and if Jack died the devil would not claim his soul. A year later Jack convinced the devil to climb a tree for a piece of fruit, while the devil was picking the fruit Jack carved a cross in the tree bark which prevented the devil from climbing down until the devil promised Jack that he wouldn’t bother him for 10 more years. When Jack died God wouldn’t allow him into heaven and the devil, upset by the tricks that jack had played on him but keeping his word not to claim his soul would not let Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved turnip and has wandered the earth with it ever since. The Irish call this ghostly figure Jack of the lantern. Eventually it was shortened to the term that we use today Jack-O’-Lantern. Folks in Ireland and Scotland started carving their own versions of Jack’s lanterns by etching scary faces into turnips or potatoes and setting them near the windows and the doors to scare away Stingy Jack and other evil spirit. When they emigrated to America the tradition came with them. They realize that pumpkins were native to our country and that they made perfect Jack-O’-Lanterns and that’s why we carve pumpkins to this very day.

privileged neighborhood. His father passed away when Johnson was 12 years old, and throughout his teenage years he struggled with grades, anger problems, and a negative attitude. “I owe it to my community, and I owe it to young men and women who fight with issues just like I fought with issues…to help them understand that all things are possible,” Johnson said. Van Duzer said his “right hand man” when it comes to implementing new plans and projects like “The First Step,” is State Representative Larry Lee, Jr. Rep. Lee was in Tallahassee for the first football night, but said he looked forward to future Tuesdays at the park. “Scott’s idea was, why don’t we go into these at-risk, depressed areas where some of the violence is taking place and let us show the children and parents of those communities that we care,” Rep. Lee said. “We believe that things start with these kids…and we’re going to show them we care by showing up.” Rep. Lee grew up in an area of Fort Pierce he says bares similarities to the neighborhood the park is in now. Like Johnson, Rep. Lee remembers tougher times in his child-
hood. Lee now uses his close relationship with Van Duzer to show that people of different economic and racial backgrounds can come together for good. “Here’s a white guy who didn’t grow up in that community, never lived in that community, but cares about this community,” Rep. Lee said of Van Duzer. “No man is an island,” Rep. Lee said. Taking the “first step” toward change means pulling together people of all kinds from all different corners of the community, he added. “You don’t have to grow up in an underprivileged neighborhood to have the conviction to help underprivileged people,” Johnson said. “Just because you have the ability to do so, you should volunteer your time, you should volunteer your talents, you should volunteer your treasure or dollars, but you should have a conviction to help someone or something, somewhere.” In keeping with the theme of bringing community leaders and positive role models to the park, Miami Dolphins star Michael Thomas showed up on the second “First Step” Tuesday at the park. Originally from Houston, Texas, Thomas graduated with honors from Stanford University.

STEPS from page A14 “He understands the great value of mentorship and how it can change the paths of a child’s life, “and largely credits a positive mentorship in his own life with his success at Stanford, according to a Van Duzer Foundation press release. Van Duzer, Sheriff Mascara, Rep. Lee and Commissioner Johnson all agree that consistency will be key for the kids at the park. “I’m going to make it my job to be there on Tuesdays,” said Johnson.

Lee. For more information on “The First Step” program and other Van Duzer Foundation projects, visit www.thevanduzerfoundation.org.

TRADITION — DeBary’s mayor, Clint Johnson, was in Port St. Lucie on Friday, Oct. 16. He was bicycling from Tallahassee to Key West promoting creation of more multi-use trails throughout the state, and letting folks know about the network in Volusia County. “Now that I’ve done it, you’re now officially biking distance from Tallahassee,” he told city workers at the Port St. Lucie City Hall. On a more serious note, Johnson said creation of multi-use trails is especially important to fast-growing areas like Port St. Lucie, and southwest Volusia County, which includes Deltona along with DeBary. The area mirrors Port St. Lucie in many ways. Johnson said progress on creating multi-use trails in his area has slowed, and he’d like to see it revived. “These residential areas are prime for new trails,” Johnson

The city’s principle planner, John Finizio, back, joined them. Holbrook is in early stages of asking the South Florida Water Management District to allow the city to create multi-use trails along the C-23 and C-24. said. That’s a message Daniel Holbrook, St. Lucie West resident and the assistant city manager, welcomes. He’s in the early stages

Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer. Symptoms usually appear in the latest stages, when it is the deadliest. Low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs for current and former smokers can detect lung cancer at the earliest stages before symptoms appear, improving the cure rate to as high as 90 percent.

Copper
Howdy Folks! My name is Copper and I was found as a stray and no one came looking for me. It’s a shame because I truly am a real gentleman. I will gladly sit and shake your hand to greet you, who said chivalry is dead, and give you lots of love and kisses. I would make a great family pet.
Cutty
I first arrived at our Port St. Lucie shelter with my 2 siblings almost two years ago. I was adopted, but then was returned when my owner had to move. I am a very handsome man (sorry to brag), and am quite the character. I enjoy late night cuddles, Netflix, college football, and lots and lots of friskies. Come see me I know you will fall in love. If you are interested in Copper, Cutty or any of their furry friends please stop by the Humane Society of St. Lucie County’s two locations at 100 Savannah Rd. in Fort Pierce or 8890 NW Glades Cut-off Rd. in Port St. Lucie

of many smaller events that have taken place across the area over the past several weeks in an attempt to increase awareness and raise funds for the cause leading up to the 5K walk, which will take place at 9am on Saturday, Oct. 31 at Tradition Field at

Mets Stadium. Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. For Gallagher, a St. Lucie West resident and longtime supporter and participant of the annual walk, the bowling event was a perfect opportunity to generate added public interest in the upcoming 5K. “We were happy to do this to not only raise money, but to also raise awareness and gather community support to have some additional people join the walk,” said Gallagher, an American Cancer Society volunteer and the Income Chair for this year’s walk. “We thought by having people come out and bowl that it might be their introduction to learning about the walk. It would be our way of connecting Making Strides to new people.” Although not able to walk on Oct. 31, St. Lucie Lanes employee Terry Moore was interested and excited to help out in some other way. When contacted by Gallagher, an avid bowler in a family of bowlers, the two figured out a way to raise both awareness for the walk as well as some additional funding to help find a cure for breast cancer, the second-leading cause of death in women. Moore lost both of her parents to cancer in about a five-year

“We were happy to do this to not only raise money, but to also raise awareness and gather community support to have some additional people join the walk.” Diane Gallagher span, with her mother’s passing in 2008 the most recent. She was thrilled with the opportunity to collaborate with Gallagher on the pre-walk bowling event. “Diane came to me and asked me about doing some kind of fundraiser. I think it’s awesome,” said Moore. “I have personally donated to the walk before. Cancer is a horrible disease. I wish they would find a cure for it.” According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in women, just behind skin cancer. In 2015, nearly 232,000 women are expected to be newly diagnosed with breast

BIKES from page A18 the C-24. “The ability to move by foot or bicycle without hundreds of conflicts with cars and driveways is a rare and valuable opportunity,” Holbrook said in an interview after meeting with Mayor Johnson. Holbrook said a logical gateway to the proposed multi-use trail would be near the intersection of Crosstown Parkway and the C-24, just west of Interstate 95. Tradition is already a large draw for local bicyclists of all kinds from neighborhood riders to serious road cyclists. Louis Patterelli, owner of Sprockets Bicycles, said there are two reasons bicyclists aim their wheels toward Tradition. “Bike lanes and light traffic,” he said. Much of Port St. Lucie has narrow travel lanes and sidewalks, making cycling difficult and in some places outright dangerous. Crosstown Parkway has the only east-to-west bicycling lanes in the city, and it leads cyclists to Tradition past the C-24. Sprockets hosts three rides a week, and all of them go to Tradition via Crosstown. A Saturday morning ride sometimes attracts more than 50. Patterelli said he hopes to add a new leg to those rides. “We’ve got these access roads
along the (C-23 and C-24) canals that aren’t being used for anything,” Patterelli said. “Why not make them lateral parks?” Holbrook said he’s talking to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council about the idea, and will soon open talks with the water management district. He said what’s needed are more community ideas and advocates. “I think the key thing is that citizen support,” Hobrook said. “(Mayor Johnson is) becoming a champion for his projects. We need that here.” Holbrook and John Finizio, principle planner, gave Johnson a bicycle tour of Port St. Lucie, including a stop at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens. Holbrook explained how the city was able to construct it with grants, because of strong local support. Holbrook said in a later interview that he believes creating multiuse trails along the canals could also be done without using local tax dollars. Johnson said the Botanical Gardens gave him a number of ideas about how to recreate that in his hometown. He said Port St. Lucie has a lot of positives. “If I was going to move from DeBary, it would be here,” Johnson said in an interview. To contact Holbrook with ideas for multi-use trails, email him at dholbrook@cityofpsl.com.

cancer in the United States, while more than 40,000 women are expected to die from breast cancer this year. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is part of the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities. Last year across the county, more than one million Making Strides walkers helped to raise more than $60 million for the American Cancer Society to help save more lives from breast cancer. Last year, 3,200 walkers participated in the Making Strides walk in St. Lucie West and raised a total of $93,000, according to Sharon Horton-Parker, Community Manager, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. She said they hope to reach 3,500 participants for this year’s walk and exceed last year’s fundraising total. Thanks in part to the American Cancer Society and its Making Strides supporters, breast cancer death rates have decreased 35 percent since 1989, contributing to 224,500 lives saved. Like most people that champion a cause due to real-life circumstances, Horton-Parker is no different. She lost her cousin to breast cancer at age 45 and her
WWW.YOURVOICEWEEKLY.COM mother lost her battle with ovarian cancer that same year. “They were both very strong, brilliant women whose lives were cut much too short,” said Horton-Parker. “I have connected with many of these same women who continue to fight. This drive is beyond my position (with Making Strides). My hope is that no more suffer from this heart wrenching disease.” Individuals interested in walking in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K may do so individually or by starting their own team, recruiting team members and raising funds by encouraging people to donate. Although there is no registration fee to participate, there is a Pacesetters Club, an exclusive club for top fundraisers, for those that raise at least $2,500. Participants that raise $100 or more receive a 2015 commemorative event t-shirt. “Making Strides is your chance to join the American Cancer Society and thousands of people in your community to change the course of breast cancer forever,” said Horton-Parker. She noted that people who choose not to register in advance may do so the morning of the walk at the check-in tent.

AN OPEN LETTER TO
THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CITIZENS OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND SAY “NO” TO THE PROPOSED CLASS “B” BIO SOLIDS (HUMAN WASTE SEWAGE SLUDGE) COMPOSTING OPERATION Compost USA of the Treasure Coast, a limited liability company, has filed an application to run a sewage sludge composting operation on Shinn Road about a mile and a half South of Midway Road in St. Lucie County. At a meeting at the county offices scheduled for December 3rd at 6 o’clock PM you will vote either for or against this operation. This meeting is open to the public. Do you know - there are serious concerns that sewage composting may pose both human health and environmental risks and a risk to the population around these operations? (2) (1) (5) Do you know - Class B bio-solids (sewage sludge), although treated, still contain detectable levels of pathogens? (7) Do you know - odors from this proposed operation can travel several kilometers? (4) (1) Do you know – Allapath Flats Elementary School is only 2 ½ miles from the site? (6) Do you know – the Met’s Stadium is less than 5 miles from the site? (6) Do you know - a senior retirement community is less than 5 miles from the site? (6) Do you know - there is the potential that odor can be considered a health risk? (3) (1) Do you know - health effects that have been noted include respiratory systems, mucosal membrane irritation, skin diseases and markers showing immune system response? (5) Do you know - severe illnesses among sensitive individuals could occur? (8) Do you know - children, the elderly, and people with illnesses are considered as the “most sensitive” populations? (5) Do you know - the proposed site is located one half mile from Canal 24 which is already suffering from pollution from upstream fertilizer runoff and Okeechobee releases. The watershed that flows to the North Fork of the St. Lucie River is fragile and runs through a network of sub canals connected to Canal 24. The leachate runoff from this operation could further degrade the watershed and the Indian River Lagoon? (6) Do you know - Human waste composting regulations specify that no application can occur in the St. Lucie watershed unless it can be demonstrated that application will not result in additional environmental damage to the site. Has the county performed independent tests to verify this? Do you know - Who will pay for the environmental cleanup if this sludge farm contaminates the surrounding area? The answer to who pays is the taxpayers because Compost USA of the Treasure Coast is a LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY.
HAVE YOU RESEARCHED WHAT THE PROPOSED SEWAGE COMPOSTING OPERATION’S LOCATION WILL DO TO THE PROPERTY VALUES IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY? We love living in St. Lucie County. In fact, when we moved here we thought we found Paradise, but we fear that this project will destroy our quality of life, our health, and the property values of our homes. Leachate in storm waters could contaminate soil, surface water, and the drinking water of the wells of the people who live nearby. Our precious children, who play in the school yard, just two and a half miles downwind, may breathe in germs from this operation. We don’t know what this will do to their health, and neither do you. If someone becomes seriously ill or someone’s drinking water is poisoned from this operation, the county could be sued and the taxpayers of this county will have to pay for it. Do you really want to leave us open to that kind of litigation? Your mission statement is “To provide service, infrastructure and leadership necessary to advance a safe and sustainable community, maintain a high quality of life, and protect the natural environment for all our citizens.” We believe that a vote for this operation conflicts with what you swore to provide to the citizens of our county. We would like to see a unanimous “no” vote. We also request that you enact strong legislation to prevent this from happening again.

Peripheral Neuropathy: A Deadly Condition? If You’re Suffering With Peripheral Neuropathy This Might Be The Most Important Thing You Read All Year you hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neuropathy severity examination at the end of this article).
We even see individuals whose neuropathy is so far advanced they are at risk of having their feet amputated. However, none of these are the reason neuropathy can be a deadly condition. The biggest risks from peripheral neuropathy are the balance problems and falls that this condition can cause.
Figure 1: Falls affect millions of seniors in the U.S. every year
You see, the nerves in your feet help send signals to your brain to maintain proper balance. When the nerves are damaged by neuropathy it is common to feel like you are off balance, or going to fall. Many of you reading this may have already fallen, and live in fear that your next fall may result in a fracture or concussion. Sadly, over 2.4 million seniors visit the emergency room each year due to falls, and nearly 23,000 die.
Figure 2: When these very small blood vessels become diseased they begin to shrivel up and the nerves begin to degenerate.
This damage that results in balance problems is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow. As you can see in Figure 2, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems as well as, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms. To make matters worse, too many doctors simply prescribe medications which don’t fix the cause of the problem. Even worse, some of these drugs have side effects that include dizziness and loss of balance! There is now a facility right here in Port St. Lucie that offers
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy three factors must be determined. 1) What is the underlying cause? 2) How much nerve damage has been sustained? NOTE: Once you have sustained 85% nerve loss, there is likely nothing that we can do for you. 3) How much treatment will your condition require? The NASA developed treatment we use in our office is like watering a plant. This technology will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage there is hope! Dr. John Silva, D.C. at the Neuropathy Relief Center will do a Neuropathy Severity Examination for only $70. This neuropathy severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing, and a detailed analysis of the findings of your neuropathy. Dr. Silva will be offering this Neuropathy Severity Examination to the first 12 callers who respond to this publication. After the first 12 callers, we will continue to schedule evaluations at the normal examination fee of $300. So don’t hesitate to act now! Call 772-429-8800 to make an appointment with Dr. Silva to determine if your peripheral neuropathy can be treated and your balance restored.

CHORUS from page A28 concert. “When I taught in Virginia, where I was working on my doctoral degree, they presented an all-day concert where different choirs came in and the community would give donations. (When I came to Dan McCarthy,) I decided to use the same idea, but added to the Giving Concert a celebration of unity, love, peace and community.” Instead of having an all-day event in which the community only heard certain choruses, she decided to hold one concert. “There will be a diverse repertoire of music celebrating all that music can be in the world,” Jones said. “Every director will choose their own music. Each chorus will sing two songs that represent unity, love, peace and community. Then we’ll all combine for a finale, ‘Let There Be Peace on Earth.’” The logistics of all of this are complicated. Each chorus brings between 35-45 students. Rehearsing the finale has several steps. “Each choir has the music and each choral director has to teach it,” Jones said. “We all meet at 5:30 (the night of the concert) and rehearse it together. Some of the kids are onstage and the rest
are circling around the auditorium.” While the concert is entertainment, Jones does not forget its serious purpose. “The Grace Pack weekly backpack program is available in a lot of schools,” Jones said. “Kids are in need of food on weekends, and before they leave on Friday, they give them food to take home. It’s giving back to students because some of the students in the choral program might be in need.” Jones has a doctoral degree from Shenandoah Conservatory. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Miami and her master’s degree from the Hartt School of Music. “I love education,” she said. “Music has the power to heal and help. That brought the idea of the Giving Concert. The community plays a role in its success. Instead of paying to get in, they make a donation of non-perishable food items. In the past three years, we’ve raised 2,650 pounds of food. I wanted to get the feeling of the entire community celebrating with us.” The 4th Annual Giving Concert will take place Oct. 28 at Fort Pierce Central High School, 4101 S. 25th St., Fort Pierce. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 7 p.m. Admission is a non-perishable food item.

HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from calorie restriction, that it causes a more effective or normal distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with caloric restrictive diet

‘Star’ has actor with heart and soul Triple threat actor, singer and dancer Ryan Murray will portray Bing Crosby in the Riverside Theatre’s upcoming production of “Swinging on a Star.” Here, he is Chester during the pre-Broadway run of “Lone Star Love.”

Photo courtesy of Ryan Murray face of Paco Rabanne’s 1 Million fragrance. He also teaches at his alma mater. The triple threat actor is also a singer and dancer. He spoke from his home in New York about Burke and his role in the production. “A lot of Burke and Van Heu-
sen’s songs are really wellknown,” he said. “Everyone knows ‘Star.’ Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra sang standards and when you hear certain ones, you think of Crosby and Sinatra. They were so big, larger than life.” Murray is thrilled to be playing Bing Crosby.

TREASURE COAST — You know the music. Songs like “Swinging on a Star,” “Going My Way,” “Moonlight Becomes You,” and “Road to Morocco” are part of the Great American Songbook. What you may not know is that they are the work of Johnny Burke, the greatest songwriter you don’t know. Burke was a lyricist who frequently worked with Jimmy Van Heusen. He wrote for 25 of Bing Crosby’s films and won an Academy Award in 1944 for “Swinging on a Star” from “Going My Way.” Burke’s work is on display at the Riverside Theatre Oct. 27 through Nov. 15 as the show “Swinging on a Star” takes the audience from speakeasies in the 1920s to the Bowery of the 1930s to USO shows in the 1940s and Manhattan supper clubs in the 1950s. Along the way, Burke’s hits are highlighted with a special emphasis on music from the “Road” movies. Ryan Murray plays Bing Crosby in the show. A graduate of the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, the California native appeared in a recurring role on “The Guiding Light,” at the Riverside in “Dames at Sea,” in the pre-Broadway production of “Lone Star Love” and as the

Where visionary innovation meets everyday elegance Cornerstone Bistro 2 opens for its 8th season Adam Laten Willson
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
PORT ST. LUCIE — Cornerstone Bistro 2 is a rare oasis amid the ganglia of franchises that have invaded St. Lucie County. You might not know it’s there. You might think it’s just another chain. The name is unassuming. The facade announces itself mutely from behind a dazzling, idyllic pool. Unless you knew that something extraordinary was happening within its cozy, regal interior, you might pass it over for one of its tired franchised neighbors. That would be a mistake. When the first Cornerstone in Tradition’s Village Center was bought out in 2008, Wayne Huizenga invited Mark Zollo, chef-owner of the bistro, to create a sequel in the Falls Plaza. The result is an establishment that
combines visionary innovation with a casual, sophisticated atmosphere, adaptable menu, and an honesty that can be rare for Florida restaurants. Our meal began with a peek at the extensive hand-crafted wine list. Zollo (or Chef Z. as his friends call him) is on a firstname basis with several Californian vintners and is continually updating the selection of over 50 wines, ranging gradually from light-bodied Pinot Grigios to heavier Cabernets. It is this sort of curation and accessibility that one quickly learns to expect from Cornerstone. A piquant Sauvignon Blanc from Chile served well to whet my appetite. Our server, Angela, who was not only extremely knowledgeable but also exceptionally personable and genuine, immediately set my guest and me at ease. She recommended the popular Tuna Stack and Escargot for starters, joking that she wished she could join us. She is one of the many vet-

Going Platinum!
T
he modern etiquette guides suggest that the 20th anniversary is the platinum anniversary. With so many professional musicians whose work has gone platinum in our midst, the Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society is excited about 2016, which will mark 20 years of our existence here in St. Lucie County. And while we’ll be celebrating all year long with special events and concerts, our major celebration will be in March 2016, as we present our annual Jazz Week Festival. Mark your calendars now for March 27, starting with our wildly popular Waterside Blues concert and happening every day through April Fool’s Day, when we’ll surprise the whole community with a fabulous show that will have you on your feet, dancing and shouting with unbridled joy. Along the way, there will be surprise birthday cakes and special
concerts and appearances at the Sunrise Black Box Theatre, and even our weekly Jazz Jams at the Sunrise Black Box in Fort Pierce and the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens will take on an even more celebratory feel during the coming year. You never know when someone will walk through the door with a birthday cake and get everyone to sing the Birthday song to get the party started. Speaking of getting the party started, everyone knows that every great party has a terrific theme and an awesome invitation. Since the Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society know that St. Lucie County is home to the coolest and most creative musicians and artists ever, we thought it might be nice to combine the two creative fields. Starting October 1 through Thanksgiving, Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society would like you to get your creative juices flowing and come up with a design for our 20 birthday celebration posters and flyers. We don’t care what medium you use, paints, posters, ceramics, sculpture, aluminum cans, old tires, or pieces of your old clarinet — we just want you to be creative. On November 1 we’ll announce

The escargots were served in a teardrop-shaped dish, steeped with sautéed mushrooms and essence of garlic in a veal demi-glace, and sat in a throne of saturated brioche. For snail-lovers this dish is a gratifying unconventionality, expressing a more nuanced flavor spectrum than your more typical garlic and butter combo.

could be an edifying experience: The snails are so soft and tender; they are almost indistinguishable from the mushrooms. The Tuna Stack is a cylindrical economy of delight; its flavors are as well-balanced as its architecture. Towering nearly six inches high, it is a stratified universe of luscious cream cheese and avocado, crisp fresh cucumber, and buoyant wakame seaweed salad, crested with pickled ginger, and expertly mediated by the most succulent of raw ahi tuna. It is served with a mild wasabi cream sauce and a soy sauce reduction, as well as a plate of thin plantain

BISTRO from page B6 crisps. The flavors, textures, and not least of all the presentation of this appetizer make it easily stand out for me as one of the more successful innovations I was able to sample. The dining table, a perfect table for two, also became my observation tower. I could swivel one way and admire the ornate bar with its wall-sized, V-shaped wine rack reminiscent of an admiral’s cabin. From 4:30 till 6 every day (except for Sunday), the bar and waterfall patio offer a $2 drink bargain on domestic beers, house wines, and well drinks. Surely once St. Lucie-ites catch wind of this amazing sunset special, the bar will be a buzzing with social activity. Beginning in January, the bistro will host a series of wine-pairings that will combine three flights with three courses. Zollo says they also are planning a beer-tasting to coincide with a 5-course meal. To my right was the entire kitchen, laid bare behind a transparent wall. Much like in a Japanese Teppanyaki grill, it was entertaining to watch all of the meals being prepared from start to finish with remarkable efficiency, flair, and the periodic conflagration. This window into the machine does so much more, however, than merely entertain.
It is a gesture of humility and a guarantee of professionalism. This sense of honesty and the bistro’s adaptability are two of its more prominent aspects. It is no secret that many chefs have colossal egos and will send anyone packing who seeks to alter or substitute menu items. The ideology at Cornerstone couldn’t be more opposite. They appreciate that everyone has their own taste, and are also particularly sensitive to dietary restrictions and allergies. “It’s your meal, and you should have it the way you want it” seems to be their principle. In keeping with this slogan, the bistro is introducing a new section to their menu this season: a create-your-own-fish feature. Patrons are invited to choose from a divine array of seven local and exotic fish, seven different preparations, and seven different sauces to create their own personal permutation of poisson. My guest opted for the Chilean Sea-Bass, grilled, with Tiger Paw sauce, a creamy lemon butter sauce with minced sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. I figured I’d also take advantage of the menu’s malleability. So with the help of the ever-accommodating Angela, I came up with an entree not on the menu. We combined their veal rib chop with a penne ala vodka

I wouldn’t imitate him.” Murray said that he knows that the audience has memories of the movies. “It will take them back,” he said. “We’re going to stay really true to the music and how people understand these eras. We won’t take that away. They’re going to love it. I’ve been describing it as a ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s music revue pieced together through vignettes.
YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS • ST. LUCIE WEST/TRADITION • OCTOBER 23, 2015• B9 It’s not necessarily linear.” The show, Murray describes, wraps up a lovely age of music. “We end with all the Bing and Bob stuff, but that was earlier. It’s all of these wonderful snippets and vignettes, the best, the epitome of the times. It’s the essence of that era. By putting the vignettes together and supplementing it with beautiful music everyone knows and loves, it’s a really great picture of this moment in time.” Murray is happy to return to the Riverside. “I love the Riverside family,” he said. “They’re so fantastic.

that normally comes with lobster, shrimp, and scallops. As my mouth adventured boneward, my tastebuds were rewarded with a truly delicious specimen of moist, well-tempered beef. The chop was lightly brushed with a Madeira wine and lingonberry glaze. “I like to let the protein speak for itself,” says Zollo. “That’s what you’re paying for when you buy meat in a restaurant. You’re paying for the quality of the meat itself.” Zollo is also fond of deglazing meats after the French fashion, allowing natural flavors to collect and inhabit his sauces. The menu overall is a surf-andturf medley for every taste, combining classier, more traditional gourmet items with more relaxed fare, quite literally in the case of
the Lazy Man’s Lobster, a 2 lbs. pre-shelled Maine lobster served over sweet polenta. Finally, if Cornerstone Bistro 2’s fearless creativity and down-toearth honesty weren’t recommendations enough, their attention to detail will have you returning again and again. The in-house orange marmalade honey butter they serve with their bread and the sugar swizzle stick that automatically comes with each modernist mug of cappuccino were welcome highlights to a well-curated and enjoyable experience. Cornerstone Bistro 2 is open Mon. - Thurs from 5-9 p.m. and Fri. and Sat. from 5-10 p.m. and is located in the Veranda Falls Plaza at 848 SE Becker Rd, Port St. Lucie.

Kerri On for Walukiewicz
Fielden Institute
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
For Lifelong Learning
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Winning is something that St. Lucie County School teacher Kerri Walukiewicz does really well. In 2005, she was named Teacher of the Year, not just for St. Lucie County but for the entire state of Florida. So when Walukiewicz was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, she chose to do what she does best — Kerri On and teach others the importance of becoming a bone marrow or platelet donor.
