ST. LUCIE WEST — Hundreds of mourners took to the stands at Tradition Field last week to send off heaven’s newest angel in the infield. Lincoln Park Academy student and baseball player Christian Medina, 16, was remembered as a God-loving, family-oriented boy who performed good deeds on and off the field. Medina died on Oct. 27 from in-
juries he sustained from a car crash on Orange Avenue in Fort Pierce at 7 a.m. on Oct. 23. Medina was kept on life support for four days at Lawnwood Christian Medina Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute. Medina lost control of the car he

PORT ST. LUCIE — Mayor JoAnn Faiella has officially thrown her hat in the ring for re-election next November. Faiella, 50, who was elected in 2010 filed paperwork on Nov. 4, announcing her bid. “I feel passion for the people of Port St. Lucie. We’re making great strides as a city council,” Faiella said. “I have to be honest, I work seven days a week, all hours of the time, getting out there and knowing what the people want.” It was local citizens who urged her to first run for office four years ago, she said.

“Small businesses were asking me to run because I would be a great advocate for them and just to make a change,” Faiella said. “I think we have made changes.” Faiella highlighted some of those changes during a telephone interview with Your Voice News & Views just hours after filing election paperwork. “We haven’t in three years raised taxes even though it was a tough time the last couple of years, we managed to pull through it,” Faiella said. “We were the first city to take a hit (from the recession) and the first city to recover.” “Look at all the businesses that are coming into the city.

Tradition church growing exponentially Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TRADITION — Since its establishment in St. Lucie West a year ago, Exponential Church has defined its name. The church, which started with a small group of Christians from the outskirts of Washington, D.C., has rapidly grown into a church that is changing lives every day in the community. Its exponent, or entity that promotes the church’s truth and growth, is God, the Rev. Christian Gaffney said. “We’ve got people that are really experiencing some victory in their lives ... We’ve seen marriages restored, people overcoming addiction, a bunch of things like that, so it’s definitely been a wild ride,” said Gaffney, who credits God for working within church members’ lives. “We have no idea what’s going to happen next.” Exponential Church first began holding small services in a conference room at Tradition Field. From there it moved to the now-defunct Digital Domain Tradition Studios and currently meets every Sunday at Renaissance Charter School at Tradition. Spreading the good news is more important than having a
permanent, free-standing venue, Gaffney said. “I’m fine with renting, but I do want to grow. It’s not that I’m looking for a big crowd,” Gaffney said. “In Matthew 28, Jesus gave the ‘Great Commission.’ He said to go out and make disciples, so what you do is you have disciples making disciples.” “By definition, that is exponential growth and that’s where the name of our church comes from,” Gaffney said. “I want us to be a big church full of disciples, not necessarily a big crowd. If you ask me what the future of our church is, that’s what I’m praying happens.” More than 80 attended the church’s last service at Tradition Studios early last month. Gaffney leased several theater rooms from the city of Port St. Lucie for a small fee. “Everything at the studios was a positive experience. I can’t say enough good things about the city,” Gaffney said. “They were what you would expect of public servants. They were extremely gracious and willing to work with us.” Renaissance school officials have also been accommodating, Gaffney added. Its first service at the K-8 school last month drew a record-breaking 95. This year, the

Everything is very clearly laid out,” he said. “They’re not very restrictive on us as long as we are also kind and very respectful of their stuff. It’s nice.” Sunday services are held in the school’s cafeteria, which is morphed into the house of God using Exponential’s signature color,

orange. “When we go into a space, we transform it to be our space ... Even though it’s a new building and there are some differences, it still feels like the same church,” Gaffney said. “We have our own color schemes and we have a cafe area that is set up for fellowship where we have bagels, coffee,

ST. LUCIE WEST — Thanks to the kind hearts of the more than 40 members of the St. Lucie West Garden Club, handicapped visitors at Tropical Ranch Botanical Gardens in Stuart will experience its lush lands like never before. The St. Lucie West Club presented Tropical Ranch with a second-hand wheelchair to keep in its lobby for visitors who may have a handicap or ailment which prevents them from walking the green gardens. Gardens owners Diane and Jim Haines said the wheelchair will immediately be put to good use. “That will happen actually this Tuesday. We have the Summerfield Garden Club coming for a program and a tour of the gardens,” Diane Haines said. “One of their members has a very hard time walking, but she just loves gardening.” The need for an in-house wheelchair has been great, Haines added. “Usually every time that we do have an open house here, there is somebody that has problems
walking around,” a gracious Haines said. “They’ll walk a little bit and we have plenty of resting areas, but the wheelchair is going to be used extremely well.” “Also, we have weddings out here almost every Saturday and it is a nice advantage to have this for people so they don’t have to bring their own wheelchairs with them,” Haines said. “They can just wheel the person right back out to the wedding gazebo and get them seated.” The double-wide wheelchair can accommodate any stature, St. Lucie West Garden Club president Uta McFadden said. It also has big, sturdy wheels for any terrain, as well as footrests. The club purchased the used wheelchair several months ago and have been searching for the perfect venue to donate it to, McFadden said. “We were so impressed with their layout and the different possibilities to entertain different groups of people, especially all of these garden lovers that could use a wheelchair to get around,” McFadden said of Tropical Ranch. “It is lovely. It is so beautiful. It’s very private.” McFadden said her members were thrilled to stumble upon the

Has it been a year already? H
ow about that. This week’s editions of Your Voice News & Views and Veteran Voice are our one-year anniversary editions. There really is some truth to the saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun ... and working your tail off.” Fifty-two weeks ago we published the first editions of our new direct-mailed, hyper-local community newspapers. After several months of planning, prepping, packaging, purchasing and persuading, it all came together. A few longtime associates, (and dear friends) and a few new faces came together to try to accomplish what a lot of people were telling us was a waste of time and money. Not too many people that were “in the know” thought we could pull it off, and we knew of a few other individuals out there that sure didn’t want us to, either. Never one to be dissuaded by naysayers, we knew that with the right team we could put together the right product that could be successful. In spite of all the talk about newspapers being a dying media and the death of print, we knew that if we brought it down to the hyper-local level we could inform and entertain the readers. So far, it would appear, so good. In my 30 years in the newspa-
Steve Erlanger per business we have been blessed to work and live in some of the most incredible places in the country. Southern California, Austin, Texas, Breckenridge, Colo., Central California, Pittsburg Pennsylvania and Florida, just to name a few. (We never want to leave Florida.) We have been a part of all kinds of newspapers from dailies, weeklies, bi-weeklies, start-ups, rebuilds, just about everything. Few, if any, have given us the satisfaction of what this team has produced. The positive feedback we get on a daily basis from readers and advertisers is incredible. That is what we, at Your Voice News, live for. We want to produce a newspaper that the readers find helpful, informative and pertinent. We want to produce
a newspaper that will introduce our advertising partners to their customers and drive these local business owners to success. We want to continue to support the local nonprofits and charities so that they can continue to do the things they need to do that makes the Treasure Coast a great place to live. Of all the communities we have lived in over the years, I can honestly say that the Treasure Coast is one of the most giving we have ever experienced. We love being a part of these communities. We love that you have taken our newspaper into your homes and into your lives. We will do more. We will be the publication you want and need us to be. We will continue to be your voice.

ST. LUCIE WEST — After a month-long investigation, police have finally nabbed the two men responsible for a spree of graffiti vandalism in the city, including five cases in St. Lucie West. Port St. Lucie Police arrested Timothy Michael Poff, 24, of St. Lucie West for painting the word “MALUM” on traffic control boxes, businesses, traffic signs and other structures, which were discovered on Sept. 5. Poff was first arrested Oct. 10 on outstanding warrants obtained by the Fort Pierce Police Department for 14 misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief. On Oct.14, Port St. Lucie Police obtained an additional 19 misdemeanor warrants for the graffiti damage Poff caused in the city of Port St. Lucie, police reported.
See GRAFFITI page A15
Since the first sightings of the graffiti, police discovered over 20 reported incidents of the word “MALUM” and “SEKE” being tagged throughout the middle and western part of Port St. Lucie. There were also multiple sightings of the same graffiti in Fort Pierce. Fort Pierce Police assisted in the investigation, Master Sgt. Frank Sabol of the Port St. Lucie Police Department said. Sean Abel
According to an arrest report, Poff, a server at Carrabba’s Italian Grill in St. Lucie West, admitted to his part in the rash of unsightly paintings and fingered Fort Pierce resident Sean Abel, 22, of Fort Pierce as the person responsible for tagging the word “SEKE.” Abel surrendered to authorities at the St. Lucie County Jail on Oct. 16.

MEDINA from page A1 was driving while he and friends were en route to school. Medina’s two surviving passengers and twin brothers Peter and a wheelchair-bound Timothy Green, both 15, attended the memorial service. Medina, a catcher who umpired Southwest Little League players during his free time, was celebrated as a shining star on LPA’s Greyhounds team, who always encouraged fellow teammates to reach their full potential. Second baseman and LPA junior Chris Mejias, 16, said the team has suffered a devastating blow. “It’s really sad. It just feels like a piece of us is missing,” Mejias said. Shortly before the service began, Medina’s mother, Madeline Medina, recalled the last conversation she had with her son. “(We said) ‘I’ll see you later,’ because we had stuff to do and ‘I love you,’” Madeline Medina said. “Always ‘I love you,’ no matter, if we were mad at each other, we always said ‘I love you.’” During the ceremony, family friend, Tracie Crispino, read a letter written by Madeline Medina as Madeline and Medina’s father, Henry Medina, stood close by, embracing each other. “When I hear your name mentioned, I think of all the smiles

I still can’t believe you’re gone and wish it was a bad dream I could wake up from,” Crispino read. “Christian, you are a very special son and you can’t imagine how lost I feel without you. I’m honored to be your mother,” Crispino continued. “Yes, we’ve had our ups and downs as well as rough times, but in the end, you always said, ‘Sorry, Mom.’” Madeline Medina’s prepared words struck a chord with weeping mourners, as she explained the searing pain she has experienced since the loss of her son. “I wake up every morning at 5 a.m. ready to wake you up and realize you’re not there,” Crispino read. “That’s when I ask God why. Why did you take my 16-year-old son who had so much to live for and so many goals to accomplish?” “Christian, I love you more than words can say, and that void I feel will never go away.” During a poignant moment, Coach Matt Walters comforted the crowd, reassuring them that Medina is in a safe and peaceful place. Medina’s No. 8 jersey was also retired during the ceremony. “He’s home now, standing with our Lord in the kingdom of heaven. And because I know

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer The Lincoln Park Academy baseball team welcomed Peter Green and his brother Timothy to the field before a memorial for Christian Medina Sunday, Nov. 3 at Tradition Field in St. Lucie West. The Green brothers were with Christian Medina during a car accident on Orange Avenue in Fort Pierce while heading to school. High School baseball teams and umpires from all over the county attended the memorial in uniform in support of their friend and opponent.
Christian, I feel very comfortable speaking about what he would want to say to you all today,” Walters said. “First of all, because I know Christian’s relationship with his mom was so special, I know if Christian was here right now he would want me to say this to you ‘… I love you, Mom.” “I know we didn’t have a ton of time together, but eternity is going to be so much longer than our Earthly lives,” Walters said. “I’ve prepared a place for you. Don’t worry about it.” Medina would have also told his teammates to keep their chins up, Walters said. “Second, to Christian’s teammates, I know Christian would want me to tell you, play the game like it’s your last, always be good teammates, be there for each other, stick together, have
fun, listen to your coaches and play hard,” he said. Standing behind a large portrait of Medina’s radiant smile by home plate, a place many described as Medina’s “favorite place in the world,” Walters said through death, Medina was able to save three lives. It was the teen’s wish to have his organs donated. Something miraculous also happened in the dark days following Medina’s death, Walters said. “I’ve seen the power of God the greatest I’ve ever seen it. And that’s Christian’s legacy,” Walters said. “You see, God has worked through Christian to touch so many lives. Anyone who doesn’t believe that needs to look at what’s happened.” “The day after the accident, I saw over 300 students praying at school. And when the bell rang to start school, they wouldn’t budge.”

MAYOR from page A1 We had the Guitar Center,” Faiella said. “These are all big companies seeing that there’s a movement here in Port St. Lucie. It’s a great, great feeling.” Prior to running for mayor, Faiella worked for the Port St. Lucie Police Department. Before that, Faiella directed a preschool for 13 years, she said. The mother of three and grandmother of one, moved to Port St. Lucie with her husband and family in 1988. Faiella, whose parents lived in the city, said she fell in love with Port St. Lucie and wanted to grow with it. And grow, she did. During the 2010 mayoral election, candidate
Al Hickey filed campaign finance complaints against Faiella. Rather than contesting the issue, she paid a $5,000 fine. During her initial years as mayor, Faiella was often embroiled in controversy. In July 2012, Faiella was publically censured by the council for sending personal emails to a citizen in which she wanted to “set up” the city attorney and gather information against a former police captain. Faiella even voted to reprimand herself and admitted to her mistakes. Earlier this year, Faiella and fellow council members were the subject of a state attorney’s investigation for possible Sunshine Law violations relating to the release

JazzScat Corner What a great time we’ve been having lately enjoying all the opportunities to enjoy music and dancing through the Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society. The Rowdy Micks fiddled their way into our hearts and made us all feel Irish, if only for a night, and we loved the dancing Irish lasses in their beautiful costumes. In addition to the great music, we’re so pleased to have this chance through Your Voice to help share some of the history of jazz and blues, so grab your coffee, and let’s share a little scat chat.
For newcomers to jazz The roots of jazz can be traced to two major population shifts: European immigrants looking for a better life in the New World and Black Africans being transported to America to be sold into slavery. African musical elements included group participation, connection with dancing, emphasis on rhythm, call and response, and improvisation, the use of short repeated phrases called riffs.
‘Doc’ Grober European musical influences include the harmonic system, the system of notation, the type of instruments (cornet, trombone, saxophone, clarinet, bass and guitar). In addition, many songs were written based on European compositional form. A synthesis of these African and European elements took place in America, most notably in New Orleans. But why New Orleans? New Orleans, although below sea level, was otherwise well

GRAFFITI from page A8 on three counts of misdemeanor criminal mischief in Port St. Lucie and 24 of the same counts in Fort Pierce. Both men were charged with misdemeanors because the crimes were committed at varying times on different days and the damage at each location did not exceed $1,000, Sabol said. Poff, who had pictures of the graffiti on his Instagram account, told Port St. Lucie Police he “enjoyed bombing” with Abel, the arrest report states. Poff said he knew his actions were wrong and that’s why he chose to spray the word “MALUM,” the Latin word for “wrong” throughout the city. The word “malum” is often defined as an evil or wrong. Abel tagged the word “SEKE.” Sabol said they did not know
what “SEKE” meant. During a police interview, Poff placed a monitored phone call to Abel, who admitted to tagging with Poff. Abel, who also posted pictures of the graffiti on Instagram, asked Poff if he should delete his social media account. Areas in St. Lucie West hit with the vandalism included walls near Superplay USA and Panera Bread, a traffic control box at Peacock Boulevard and St. Lucie West Boulevard and a school bus at the College Preparatory Academy of the Treasure Coast. Sabol said tips from the public helped catch the duo. “It’s very rare you finally identify who does the graffiti, unless you catch them in the act,” Sabol said. “Thanks to the public and good leads, we were able to catch these two.”

“This year we’ll have 30 guys that trained for Normandy,” Kaiser said. He added, “They became Underwater Demolition Teams, UDT, which are the forefathers of the SEALs.” Kaiser said the muster and music festival is a chance for folks to meet honest-to-God UDT frogmen and SEALs from all eras. He said they’ll come from all over to join in the fun. “Oh, gee, hundreds,” Kaiser said. “I can’t give you a definite number, but there’ll be a couple hundred.” Best of all, most events are free to the public. “The big day is Saturday the

There’ll also be two Medal of Honor recipients, lieutenants Michael Thorton and Thomas Norris. At 12:45 p.m., the museum will dedicate its Medal of Honor statue. At 1 p.m., Uproot Hootenanny will take the stage with its mix of Irish, bluegrass, folk, country and rock music. Those who aren’t museum members can catch the Killbillies, followed by the American Rogues for $3. That’ll start at 5 p.m. Museum members get into that show free. Folks are welcome to bring their
own blankets for those shows. On Sunday, there’ll be a 7 a.m. sunrise service at the beach, followed by a ceremony at the museum’s Memorial Wall. Kaiser has a bit of advice: head over early. “Last year we had 10,000 people here on Saturday,” he said. “This year, we hope to have more.” The museum is at 3300 N. Highway A1A, North Hutchinson Island, in Fort Pierce. It’s regularly opened from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays. On Sundays, it’s open from noon to 4 p.m. For more, visit navysealmuseum. com, or call (772) 595-5845.

there was no way I was going to say no. A week later, the day had arrived. The sky was crystal clear, the sun was shining bright; it would be a beautiful day to fly. Time spun into a tight circle as I was strapped tightly into the parachute and then packed away in the high performance Air National Guard Extra 300L airplane. As the canopy closed, the reality set in “this is going to be the time of your life.” The buzz of the propeller began and we were off. Soon I was airborne like a feather in the wind with Jeff Boerboon, a world champion stunt pilot, and Lt. Colonel John Klatt as his wingman, two world class air show performers. We were in perfect formation so close that had I been a wing walker, I could have jumped to the other plane. Fear crept in as I asked the question, “Do you always fly this close? Isn’t that dangerous?” Jeff Boerboon quickly responded in a matter-of-fact manner, “Yes, and there is no room for error. Are you ready for some fun?” John announced, “Clear to roll” and we began climbing vertical and then backward and then falling toward the ground only to be thrown back again vertical and then backward for

www.YourVoiceWeekly.com what I believe two more times. In these moments, you feel your body switch from feeling weightless to being pressed to the seat and immobilized by the crushing force of gravity. I was looking out the window to witness in disbelief the next stunt as John performs it first before we launch into our own – the “hammerhead”– a maneuver where the airplane climbs vertically until it runs out of airspeed, Jeff then kicks the left rudder, pulls the throttle back to idle, which sounds like the engine has been switched to off and the nose pivots down as we plummet toward the earth. We leveled off, and then, to my amazement, I was told to take the controls stick and pull back. This sealed the thought of this pilot truly being a brave soul. I was then instructed to move it to the left hard until we cleared 360 degrees. It was now time to go in. My mind and body were in shock of a dream come true, exhausted from the G’s and exhilarated by the experience of a lifetime.

Gift Gallery CHURCH from page A3 doughnuts and all of that stuff. None of that’s changed. We just have a new place. It still feels like Exponential Church.” Food is key in fellowship, Gaffney said. “We try to facilitate a place where people can sit down and get to know each other, hence the food,” he said. “In fact, one of our core values is generosity and food. It’s something that always draws people together as a group.” The church’s winter season will offer fellowship opportunities throughout the week for teens, men, women and children, Gaffney said. A typical Sunday service is filled with love, laughter and most importantly, the word of God, Gaffney said. “It all goes back to our mission statement, which is ‘Introduce people to Christ, so that they can introduce him to others.’ So with that, a goal we have is we want every person that comes to feel like they are valued and we really want them there,” Gaffney said. “We also want them to have an encounter with Christ. There’s definitely a spiritual element to all of this.” “Do I want people to come and enjoy the service? Absolutely. And do I use humor when I preach? Absolutely. But what it all comes
down to is I want people to have an experience with Jesus,” Gaffney said. “All of the preaching is very biblically based. I don’t say anything unless it comes out of the Bible.” First-time visitors are usually greeted in the parking lot, introduced to other attendees and given a tour of the service area and other rooms where children’s programs are held. They also are given a gift box, called an X-box, which contains a Bible, notebook and other items. “We want them to know that we value them coming,” Gaffney said. “We want to be generous with every person that comes through our doors.” A priority for the church is remaining in Tradition, Gaffney said. “The Tradition community has so much going for it and one of the things that it doesn’t have that I would say is a perceived need, is that there are no churches,” Gaffney said. “There’s Living Faith, which I’ve gotten a chance to sit down with their pastor. They’re great and they’re working hard for the spiritual needs of the community, but next to them and us, there are no churches actually in that community.” “We really want to work as hard as we can to minister to the needs of not only Tradition, but Port St. Lucie at large.”

FORT PIERCE — The dance students in the performing and visual arts department at Indian River State College get the holiday season off to a lively start with a program called “Just Dance.” It will be presented Nov. 21-23 at the McAlpin Fine Arts Center on the Fort Pierce campus. Molly Magee is assistant professor of dance at IRSC. She said that the performance will offer both ballet and modern selections. “I like to give the students a chance to perform in a classical ballet,” she said. “They will perform Variations from Act 2 of “The Nutcracker,” including the Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Arabian dances. This year, a male and a female dancer will perform a full-length pas de deux as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker Prince.” After the intermission, students will perform modern dances choreographed by Magee or by guest chorographer Luke Kahlich, an old friend of

Magee’s from Texas Tech, where she began her dance studies. They also dance a scene from “Fiddler on the Roof.” “Everything in the second act is modern, except for “Fiddler,” Magee said. “The department will be presenting ‘Fiddler on the Roof” in February and we’ll preview it with ‘Matchmaker, Matchmaker.’” It’s not at all unusual for dance students to appear in shows put on by other part so of the department. “We try really hard to share our students,” Magee said. “Ours might be in a play and theater students might be in a dance. Theater students are required to take dance.” The dance program is a twoyear program ending in an associate degree. Students can continue on for a four-year degree, or go on a different career path with a life-long love of dance. They are required to have 36 general education credits. The dance classes are electives. The program offers modern and ballet classes during the school year and jazz in the summer. Students are also required to take beginning choreography and dance conditioning, which involves strength training.
“The students perform every semester,” Magee said. “The formal dance concert is this semester, so next semester, they’ll do a musical. There’s a recital in April where they dance a dance they’ve created in beginning choreography, or other students dance to another student’s choreography. They’re always busy dancing and rehearsing.” Magee said that the upcoming program is ideal for people of any age. “I love it when young children comes to see “The Nutcracker,” she said. “I want them to understand there are other types of dance. We’re exposing them to everything from Mendelssohn to pure percussion. It’s a well-rounded evening. That’s what I strive for.”

utes. Moviegoers are encouraged to bring a pillow or blanket and are welcomed to bring their own snacks and drinks. This event is free and open to all ages.

PGA Golf Club is paying homage to PGA Championship and Ryder Cup lore with special new plaques FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
By Michael R. Abramowitz Reprinted with permission from PGA Magazine PGA VILLAGE — When a golfer plays No. 18 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J., he or she will often pause to reflect upon a special plaque that pays tribute to Jack Nicklaus’ famous 1-iron shot in the 1967 U.S. Open. In fact, for good luck, Phil Mickelson tapped the marker twice with his 3-wood as he played the 72nd hole of his thrilling victory in the 2005 PGA Championship. Meanwhile, Nicklaus’ 18 major championships serve as inspiration for the individual hole marker signs that line Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich., site of the 2014 Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid. A stroll through the course is literally a walk through golf history.
In similar fashion, PGA Golf Club at PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, Fla., is taking a page out of PGA of America history as it pays homage to PGA Championship and Ryder Cup lore with special new plaques that are designed to develop a link between its golfers and The PGA’s storied past. Eighteen eye-catching hole markers featuring tributes that date back to Jim Barnes capturing the inaugural PGA Championship in 1916, were installed along the Wanamaker Course in October (the course was named after PGA of America founder Rodman Wanamaker, who donated the namesake Wanamaker Trophy awarded to the PGA Champion). The picturesque signs will allow golfers to learn about defining moments in PGA Championship history, including some that may have faded from memory. For example, in 1942, Sam

Keep in mind, the longer you wait to file those old tax returns, the more penalty and interest you are going to pay. More importantly you want to file those delinquent tax returns before the Criminal Investigation Division comes knocking on your door looking for them.

We prepared the delinquent tax returns and it turned out the client owed just a little over half that amount, including penalties and interest. By paying just few hundred dollars to get the unpaid liability to under $25,000 the client was able to qualify for the IRS Streamline Installment Agreement. Now the client is making monthly payments, is caught up with tax filings and sleeps at night!

Snead defeated Army Corp. Jim Turnesa 2 and 1, by holing a spectacular 60-foot chip shot for birdie on the 35th hole of the match-play finals at Seaview Country Club in Atlantic City, N.J. Afterwards, Snead signed a War Bond as part of his winnings in the shadow of the Wanamaker Trophy, while surrounded by members of the U.S. Army and Navy. The following day, Snead reported for duty with the Navy in the midst of World War II. This story sets the scene for the tee box of hole No. 4 of the Wanamaker Course. Meanwhile, 18 special memo-

ries from the Ryder Cup tracing to Playing Captain Walter Hagen’s U.S. Team winning the first installment in 1927, will line the Ryder Course (which is named after Samuel Ryder). These markers will recount timeless moments, such as Justin Leonard’s remarkable 45-foot in the 1999 Ryder Cup. The stories are told in chronological order along the Ryder Course, with America’s improbable rally recounted on hole No. 14. “There’s an allure to history that is a passion unlike any other,” explains PGA Golf Club general manager Jimmy Terry.

RYDER from page B14 “These historical hole markers are now part of the fabric of PGA Golf Club and serve as an attraction for our guests and members to want to come back and experience more. The hope is they leave with a greater understanding of the incredibly rich history of our Association, as well as with some chills down their spine.” Additional signs installed at PGA Golf Club pay tribute to each PGA Champion by year; list the final score of every Ryder Cup; and tell the story of Rodman Wanamaker, Samuel Ryder and the trophies that bear their name.
Also, along the Dye Course are new markers that feature the signature of namesake Course Designer and World Golf Hall of Fame Member Pete Dye. “Jimmy Terry and his team have a clear vision to tastefully educate golfers on each of their courses with story plaques as part of their tee sign packages,” said Michael Fryatt, executive vice president of the Prestwick Golf Group, a Wisconsin-based company that installed the signs. “It’s humbling being entrusted to help bring their vision to life.” A history lesson designed to leave an indelible mark on PGA Golf Club visitors for years to come.

es, WQCS manager. “One of the central missions of public radio is to serve and inform our audiences, and our participation in this project is just one example of how we are working to accomplish this goal.” “This is a crucial first step in this very important project,” said Mike Starling, executive director, Technology Research Center and NPR Labs. “I want to sincerely thank WQCS for volunteering to participate in a project that will demonstrate that all individuals, including those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, can stay informed in emergencies when electricity, Internet and other

communications channels are unavailable.” In the demonstration project, NPR will transmit emergency alert messages through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Integrated Public Alerting Warning System to the Public Radio Satellite System in Washington, D.C., using the Common Alerting Protocol. The PRSS network operations center will then transmit the warning to the participating 25 public radio stations via the Radio Broadcast Data System on a dedicated channel. The stations will broadcast the emergency alert to specially designed radio receivers capable
of displaying text messages. Deaf or hard-of-hearing project volunteers will be alerted to the message by a flashing indicator on those radios or a bed-shaker attached to and triggered by those radios to ensure the message is received day and night. The Gulf State region was selected as the location for the new emergency alert system because it is frequently subjected to extreme and sudden weather conditions. Public radio stations, served by the PRSS, reach more

than 95 percent of the U.S. population. The next step in the project will be for NPR Labs to work with WQCS to assist in identifying individuals who are deaf or hardof-hearing in the listening areas of the 25 participating stations. These volunteers will monitor the periodic messages on the project provided receivers, and be surveyed throughout the pilot program to determine how effective the test messages are being received. WQCS 88.9 FM is the state-designated Emergency Alert System station serving the Treasure Coast and providing important weather and emergency information to the area. WQCS has been recognized for its long term commitment to news and hurricane coverage during periods of emergencies. The Public Radio Satellite System is the distribution network through which thousands of hours of news, music, and specialized audience programming are delivered every year to public radio stations throughout the United States. Managed by NPR Distribution, the PRSS is a unique, cooperative enterprise.
Each participating station is a stakeholder in the collective assets of, and services provided by, the satellite system. Interconnected stations own their own downlink and uplink equipment. The satellite transponder capacity, as well as the national operating system equipment located in Washington, are owned by the Public Radio Satellite Interconnection System Charitable Trust.
