Governor focuses on economy, jobs during Tradition visit Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TRADITION — Gov. Rick Scott recently discussed issues facing the Treasure Coast with local leaders during an economic roundtable geared at highlighting area accomplishments and gains yet to be made. Last week’s meeting was held at Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies. The nonprofit received $3 million in the 2013-14 state budget approved by Florida legislators and signed by the governor. Scott, who is facing re-election next year, discussed Florida’s shrinking unemployment numbers, faster permitting and less regulation and opportunities at Florida seaports.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Newly released evidence by prosecutors in the first-degree murder case of Sgt. Gary Morales, 35, who was gunned down in February during a daytime car pursuit, may shed light on what the deputy’s assailant, Eriese Tisdale, 26, was doing just moments before the slaying. Raymond Gleason, 39, a self-described crack addict originally from Dania Beach, said he met up with Tisdale the morning of Feb. 28 to get crack cocaine.

Lagoon doom: The damage and what’s being done about it Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — Politicians have pledged to do everything in their power to save the Indian River Lagoon and its estuaries from the pressing plight it faces. Plagued with pollution, fertilizer and everyday water runoff, along with hefty contaminated freshwater discharges from the state’s largest lake, the lagoon and its surrounding waterways are rapidly deteriorating. New environmental panel Florida Rep. Larry Lee Jr., D-Port St. Lucie vowed he won’t vote for any legislation that will deter efforts to heal nature on the Treasure Coast, so he assembled a team of top experts in the environmental and agricultural fields to brief him on the area’s water each month. “I’ve become very concerned with our environment and the things affecting our waterways,” Lee said. “We’ve got some serious issues going on.”
“That water should be rerouted to the Everglades,” Lee said. “Right now, bringing it to the lagoon and the estuaries isn’t the natural flow of things.” Lee’s committee members include representatives from the Waterfront Council of St. Lucie County, Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Institute, Ocean Research & Conservation Assoc., several local municipalities and more. ORCA co-founder and senior scientist Edie Widder agrees with Lee’s assessment of the water’s flow. Water should be moved from Lake Okeechobee at a much slower rate to allow Mother Nature to purify it, Widder said. “Anything you could do to keep the water running off the land is a solution,” Widder said. “So, (we need to) slow the water off land. They were trying to drain it as fast as they possibly could and that’s why we have all these problems now,” Widder said. “They took the oxbows, or wiggles in the river, out. They were very, very important for the biological processes that helped clean up

its thing,” she said. “They call it ‘polishing the water.’”

The Lagoon’s poor state The Indian River Lagoon is a shallow-water estuary stretching across 40 percent of Florida’s east coast. It spans 156 miles from Volusia County to the Jupiter Inlet in Palm Beach County. The diverse ecological gem contains more than 4,000 plant and animal species, including manatees, oysters, dolphins, sea turtles and seahorses. But many years of artificial modifications to the St. Lucie River, the Indian River Lagoon and its estuaries have altered its natural cycles, causing species deaths, withering sea grass and prolific algae blooms. Waste-related bacteria sometimes gets so high, swimmers are banned from swimming in the river. Other contributing factors to the water’s poor health are: flushing and bodily passing pharmaceuticals down the toilet, excessively watering lawns, fertilizer runoff, septic tank leaks and gas-powered lawn equipment, which can emit as much pollution as 11 cars in one hour, environmental experts said. During periods of heavy rainfall, the large majority of fresh water entering the St. Lucie Estuary typically comes from storm water runoff in local drainage basins, including the C-44, C-23, C-24 and Ten Mile Creek basins, according to the South Florida Water Management District’s website. Lake O discharges Discharges of polluted water from the 730-square-mile Lake Okeechobee by the Army Corps of Engineers may be the most harmful of all, experts say. Recent rain storms have caused the Corps to maximize releases to ease pressure on the 75-year-old Herbert Hoover Dike. The lake’s water level can rise up to six times faster than water can be discharged, the District’s site states. The Corps works to maintain Lake Okeechobee’s water level between 12.5 feet and 15.5 feet. In recent weeks the level has teetered at 16 feet, a signal to open the flood gates. Historically, lake water was drained south through the Everglades. If the flow were diverted back south, it would take pricey land acquisition from private owners and hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of dollars to set up. In due time, the suffering Everglades would begin to polish the highly phosphoric water from Lake Okeechobee, as it did hundreds of years ago, said Leroy Creswell, regional education coordinator for the University of Florida’s Sea Grant program, which is an extension of the National
www.YourVoiceWeekly.com Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “That water from Lake Okeechobee could very well go through a cleaning process by going south through the Everglades where it naturally went historically,” Creswell said. The lagoon is an important commercial and recreational fishery and economic resource to Florida. The total estimated annual economic value of the lagoon is $4.5 billion. If the economic engine that is the Indian River Lagoon, dies, the health and livelihood for thousands, perhaps millions throughout the state would be adversely affected. Political action Port St. Lucie City Councilwoman Michelle Berger, who is on Lee’s committee, said the city has done its part of harm, but is working diligently to help with conservation and cleanup. That includes printing water-saving tips on each month’s utility bills. Berger said Treasure Coast residents must band together to have their voices heard in Washington, D.C. “I think that our united voices to the politicians that are higher is really necessary for them to hear,” Berger said. “There may need to be a future plan for Florida that includes the reworking of lands that are south of Lake Okeechobee. What does that look like? I don’t know.” April Price, of the Sea Life Habitat Improvement Project Inc., demands action from politicians. “I want a comprehensive plan to clean up the lagoon. That includes the Lake Okeechobee scenario. That includes runoff,” Price said. “I know a lot of the counties are looking at fertilizer runoff ordinances. We have to attack this at home and (Patrick Murphy) is the one that can make that happen.” U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, said he hears those unified cries loud and clear. “We’re doing the best we can at the federal level to get additional funding to prevent these discharges, to have storm water treatment facilities, to have things like C-44, to continue to fund and strengthen the upper dike, to raise the Tamiami Trail,” Murphy said during a recent visit to North Hutchinson Island where he helped lay hundreds of oyster shells to improve the water’s health. A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, experts said. Although he said money is tight in Washington, D.C., Murphy stressed investments on Treasure Coast waterways and the Everglades come back big time. “Every dollar spent on our

environment comes back 4 to 1. People don’t understand that,” Murphy said. “So much of our local economy, whether it’s tourism, hotels, the beaches, the real estate, charter fishing, you name it, is all based on our environment. So, to me that’s smart spending.” Florida Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, recently announced a Senate Select Committee on the Indian River Lagoon and Lake Okeechobee Basin. “This Select Committee will give my colleagues in the Senate an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying issues and environmental impacts associated with current policies,” Negron said in a press release. “We will review historic and current state and federal basin-wide water management policies and activities and identify options for state and federal action to improve
water management, including alternatives for discharges from Lake Okeechobee. I am hopeful that our work will produce recommendations for improved water management which can be considered by the Legislature during the 2014 Legislation Session.” The select committee will meet on Aug. 22 and investigate policies, spending and any other governmental activities affecting water management in the Indian River Lagoon and Lake Okeechobee Basin. The committee will conduct hearings and prepare a report to be submitted by Nov. 4, to the Senate Committees on Appropriations, Environmental Preservation and Agriculture. Several Treasure Coast politicians will act as liaisons to the committee. They include: Reps. Gayle Harrell, R-Stuart; Larry Lee Jr., D-Port St. Lucie; Debbie Mayfield, R-Vero Beach; and MaryLynn Magar, R-Tequesta.

Duffy’s is done Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE WEST — Duffy’s at Cashmere Corners closed its location last week after its 10-year lease expired. The restaurant’s senior vice president Jason Emmett said the Cashmere front’s close proximity to Duffy’s Superplay store is why. “It’s really about having two restaurants so close together,” Emmett said. “With the lease coming to a natural end, it made sense not to renew.” The Cashmere Corners restaurant, located at 790 S.W. St. Lucie West Blvd. is less than two miles away from the Superplay
store at 1608 Courtyard Circle. “It’s a sad day for us. We have a lot of fond memories in Cashmere. In a perfect world, we’d be open (there) forever … It’s the end of an era for us,” Emmett said. Emmett said all 40 of its Cashmere employees will be taken care of. “Every single employee is going to be offered a job,” Emmett said. “Most will go to Superplay, some to Stuart.” Excluding Cashmere, Emmett and his father, Paul Emmett, own 22 Duffy’s stores statewide. That total will increase come fall when they open two more locations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Last year’s closing of Albertons wasn’t good for business, Emmett said, but didn’t affect his decision to shut down the location. “Albertons closing did have an effect. It was not the ultimate determining factor,” Emmett said. The 16-year-old Cashmere Corners plaza, owned by Equity
One, a New York-based property management group, has stood largely vacant since Albertons closed in May 2012. The grocery store occupied 59,448 square feet of the plaza’s 89,234 available square feet. Duffy’s occupied 6,500 square feet. The closing will bring alterations to the Superplay store, Emmett said. Regulars who
frequented the Cashmere location liked it because of its quiet atmosphere, he said. Guests can expect some changes in acoustics at the noisier western counterpart. “We’re going to do our best to make guests who like the East location feel more comfortable and at home,” Emmett said.

A court date is scheduled for Dec. 19. Mary Celidonio, office supervising attorney for the public defender’s office has been assigned the Hadley case. Litty was assigned to the Tisdale case.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Veteran assistant public defender and lead attorney for St. Lucie County murder suspects Eriese Tisdale and Tyler Hadley, abruptly left his job in July with no reason why. Mark Harlee, a death-penalty certified lawyer, worked for the 19th Circuit Public Defender’s Office for more than two decades. The office covers Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. Harlee’s former boss, public defender Diamond Litty, would not say if Harllee quit or was fired. “I’m not making any comment on that,” Litty said. Harllee was representing teen Tyler Hadley, who is accused of brutally bludgeoning his Port St. Lucie parents to death with a hammer in 2011. He also

“I think there are big opportunities for job growth in and around our ports,” Scott said. “As you know, your representatives got rid of sales tax on machinery equipment. I’ve been in a lot of different businesses where they need to be where it’s cheaper to ship. So that’s a big opportunity to get more manufacturing jobs in and around our ports.” Scott said the key to creating those jobs is less regulation and cuts to business tax. Some of the roundtable attendees included St. Lucie County Economic Development Council President Larry Pelton, St. Lucie County administrator Faye Outlaw, Martin Health System CEO Mark Robitaille, Torrey Pines President Richard Houghten and Florida Reps. Gayle Harrell, R-Stuart and Larry Lee Jr., D-Port St. Lucie. Lee, a PGA Village resident, and Outlaw asked Scott to assist in expanding the Port of Fort Pierce, also inviting the governor for a tour. “Absolutely, I’d love to,” an accepting Scott said. “What I want to go on record as saying, is if you come over to our port, we’ll rename it Rick Scott’s port,” Lee said to a roar of laughter. Harrell praised Scott in helping reduce unemployment and applauded the governor’s diligence to recruit new business to the state. Companies including Hertz, Verizon, Boeing and AT&T will soon
www.YourVoiceWeekly.com bring more jobs to their locations within the state, Scott said during the meeting. “I can tell you that the Legislature is committed to job growth in the state of Florida. We are indeed blessed to be in a state that has been fiscally responsible and we are on the threshold of even better and greater things,” Harrell said. “I think this emphasis on job creation (and) job development that the private sector is doing is absolutely essential. We as government need to empower them to do that. And I think that is what this roundtable is about.” Although the Treasure Coast’s May unemployment rate remained high at 8.5 percent, according to a recently released report by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the state has seen a positive reduction since the same time last year. Last year, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties were struggling with a 10 percent May unemployment rate, according to the statistics. Despite economic gains, Scott said there is much work to be done. “If you look at it historically and think about why the state sometimes is in the position it is, we did rely too much on housing, on tourism and we didn’t focus enough on marketing the rest of the ideas of the state. We ought to become a big port state. We ought to be a big manufacturing state,” Scott said. “We should have all those. We should be a big resource state.”

He is charged with one count of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and one count of third-degree grand theft. His bond is $75,000. Gleason’s attorney Thomas Burns said his client hasn’t requested a special deal for his statement. “The only thing he said he wants is to get some kind of drug treatment,” Burns said. Chief assistant state attorney Tom Bakkedahl said the piece of evidence is being reviewed. According to a transcript of the interview, Gleason said he came forward out of admiration for Morales. Morales would always remind Gleason to get a light for his bicycle and caution him about drinking alcohol and changing his life around. “I knew Officer Morales because he used to stop me and say, ‘Hey how you doing?’” “…He was always good,” Gleason said. Tisdale is being held in a Martin County jail for safety reasons. He was indicted in March on a first-degree murder charge. If convicted, Tisdale faces the death penalty.

Gleason told sheriff’s investigators during a recorded interview that Tisdale was his regular drug dealer since Gleason began living in Fort Pierce during the beginning of February after a stint in prison that ended in December. That morning, Gleason said Tisdale gave him a handful of crack in plain sight near where the shooting took place. No money on hand, Tisdale told Gleason to pay him later. “‘Just go cracker, just go! See me later,’” Gleason recalled Tisdale as saying. Gleason, who was on a two-day crack binge leading up to that moment, said he peddled away. “When I left, I pulled off on the bicycle, I saw a cop car come around the corner, I heard, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” Gleason told investigators. “I looked back and saw that (expletive) (expletive) running and I saw ‘em go back into his car and then that’s the last I saw of ‘em going around the corner.” “Then there was cops and helicopter(s) – nobody stopped me,” Gleason said. “Nobody said (expletive) to me, or nothing and I went right back to my little trailer and smoked dope and that was it.” Tisdale is accused of fatally shooting Morales at point-blank range during a traffic pursuit at 9:28 a.m. near Oleander Avenue. Morales, who was seated in his patrol cruiser, gun still holstered, was shot in the side of the head, neck and arm. Hours earlier, Gleason said he and Tisdale met in front of a Fort Pierce 7-Eleven off of Edwards Road to arrange the drug transaction, Gleason said. Gleason also described the look on Tisdale’s face seconds after the shooting. “And it was just (expletive) up the way he just looked after he turned around to get back in his car,” Gleason said. Gleason told investigators Tisdale was also acting strange during the drug transaction. “He was acting real (expletive) weird and (expletive) and I could notice he had something under his leg, but I ain’t thinking nothing like a gun or nothing like that,” Gleason said. Gleason is being held in a St. Lucie County jail where he was interviewed by investigators.

JOBS from page 12 short interviews at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center on Aug. 28. Attendees must apply online at martinhealth.org/jobs before the event. Martin Health Systems is opening a facility in Tradition. From May to June, Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment number held steady at 7.1 percent. Without seasonal adjustment, it increased from 7.0 to 7.4. Meanwhile, the Port St. Lucie Metropolitan Statistical Area’s, MSA, not seasonally adjusted rate stands at 9.3 percent, up from an 8.5 percent not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in May. The Port St. Lucie MSA includes Martin and St. Lucie counties. The MSA’s not seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was 8.2 percent in April. Victorio said the slight rise in unemployment is typical for the area during the summer, due to the area having a slightly different tourist season than Florida in general. In June, St. Lucie County had the third highest unemployment rate in the state: 10.1 percent. It trails Hendry’s 13.5 percent and Flagler’s 10.2 percent rates. In

previous interviews, Victorio explained that St. Lucie was riding a construction-employment wave until the housing crash, that economists variously hold started in 2007 or 2008. St. Lucie moved up from the fourth to third highest unemployment rate in the state in May, at 9.3 percent. In April the unemployment rate was 8.9 percent. Martin’s June unemployment figure was 7.7 percent, up from 6.9 percent. It was on the higher end of the middle with its unemployment numbers from May to June: 25th out of 67 counties.

month before. Victorio said the unemployment fluctuations are well within historical norms for the Port St. Lucie MSA and are no cause for concern. “The MSA, we’re at 9.3 (percent unemployment),” she said. “Last year, we’re at 11.0. It’s still significantly better than the year before.” Additionally, Victorio noted the 2011 June unemployment figure for the two counties was 12.7 percent. The previous year, it was 13.2. She also said that statewide there are fewer people reporting obligatory part-time employment, or working for significantly less than their education and experience warrant. “All the numbers are moving in the right direction,” she 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. 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. Victorio said St. Lucie and Martin counties will see improved employment numbers by fall. “Our better numbers are in our season, which starts in October and runs to April,” she said.
who kept his job, also pleaded no contest to a charge of refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test following his Nov. 5, 2008 arrest in Fort Pierce. Harllee’s driver’s license also was suspended for six months. Attempts to reach Mark Harllee before press time were unsuccessful.

Keep cool this summer with A/C Advantage Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer
nrodriguez@YourVoiceWeekly.com
PORT ST. LUCIE — With summer in full swing, it’s important to trust the right company to handle all of your air conditioning system needs to ensure a comfortable and carefree season. Scott Camire, owner of A/C Advantage Inc., says he’s your guy. With more than three decades in the field, Camire started A/C Advantage Inc. in 2006, which serves Indian River, Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach and parts of Okeechobee counties. A/C Advantage is a full-service air conditioning company and mechanical contractor that provides residential, commercial air conditioning or refrigeration needs. From commercial or residential air conditioning system repairs
to air duct sanitization; restaurant refrigeration unit installation to home pool heater service and maintenance, Camire said his team can do it all with stellar customer service. “It’s rewarding to know you can help people. It’s rewarding to know somebody’s going to come to you and say, ‘I’m hot. Can you please help me now?’” Camire said. “When you can do that, you just made somebody’s life a lot better.” A unique service the company offers is a 24/7 emergency response team. “If somebody has an air conditioning unit that fails at midnight and they need somebody to come out, if they call us, we’ll have a guy go out that night,” Camire said.

also use the service. “Obviously you don’t want to have a walk-in cooler in a restaurant fail and have nobody take care of it until the next day, because that would ruin everybody’s food,” Camire said. A few simple steps performed regularly can greatly reduce the chances of a system failure during the summer heat. “Change the air filters. Get regular tune-ups for the air conditioning system, because if it’s low on refrigerant, it’s going to cost you more money in your electric bill.” said Camire, who recommends a high-quality, pleated air filter that’s better at preventing dust accumulation in the air conditioning unit’s evaporator. “We recommend every six months people have a regular tune-up just to make sure it gets rid of all the algae buildup in the condensate drain lines, which is where the water comes from.” Changing filters more frequently in the summer is recommended for people who like a cooler home, Camire said. Filter changes are needed less frequently during the winter, he added. A little-known feature residents should explore is installing an ultraviolet light, which is placed inside the air handlers or on the supply air duct to promote cleaner air. “Ultraviolet lights are a really good source to keep your air in your home clean and sterilized,” Camire said. “It gets rid of bacteria. It gets rid of the mildew. It gets rid of the viruses, even. It keeps your home healthier.” Camire said he regularly helps his customers with cost-cutting advice. An ideal temperature to save money on electricity is 78 degrees. If nobody is home, the thermostat can be raised to 82 degrees, he said. Camire and his company are also promoting greener energy and higher efficiency systems. “The energy efficiency on the air conditioning units right now is really critical.” Air conditioning systems come

with a seasonal energy efficiency ratio, known as SEER, Camire said. The higher the rating, the lower the operating costs are. Rebates from Florida Power & Light provide rebates for SEER systems rated 14 and above. Systems are rated from 13 to 21, Camire said. “Our resources are being depleted,” Camire said. “If we get our homes to be greener, that’s really the way we want to go.” Camire said his company has done extensive work on local homes insulated with dangerous Chinese drywall. A/C Advantage will change air handlers, outdoor condensing units, refrigerant piping inside and outside and electrical wiring. The toxic material also makes air conditioning systems fail prematurely because it destroys connecting pipelines and wires. The issue is “extremely” problematic across the Treasure Coast, Camire said, who estimates he’s worked on approximately 100 area homes in the past year. “There is a chemical in there, like a sulfur-based. When it’s introduced to any type of moisture, it gives off gases,” Camire said. “So you may smell rotten eggs. Some people are getting headaches. It will actually corrode and decay most anything that is metal.” The Massachusetts native, who’s worked in the field since junior high school, said his line of work was his first love. “I enjoy it. It’s challenging. You’re always running into different situations, so you always have to be on your toes,” Camire said. “It’s not a boring trade by any means. You get the opportunity to meet a lot of people.” Camire said the tagline on his fleet of work trucks sums up his company best: “Old fashioned service with modern technology.” “I believe I’m an old-fashioned kind of guy,” Camire said. “I like to know my customers.”

ROTARY from page 20 this year’s results. “We were pleased to see so many golfers come out to the tournament this year, many of them repeat golfers from our previous tournaments,” he said. “This is the first year we’ve had the Tournament at Santa Lucia River Club and we’re so happy we did. The course was great, the gourmet lunch was fantastic and the players had a great time. Many of them have complimented us on the standard of our tournament each year.” In addition to the luncheon, players were treated to a delicious breakfast and on-course snacks, a silent auction and door prizes for each player. “We really have to thank all our sponsors without whom we could not host an event like this,” Breault said. “And our volunteers were outstanding; they really contributed to the success of our tournament!” Major sponsors included Arrigo Dodge and Treasure Coast Harley Davidson. Other sponsors included Rick Carroll Insurance, Jensen Beach Storage, Ambrosia of the Palm Beach, Alt Electric, Louden Pools, Computer Network Services and Aycock Funeral Home.

The Pan American Round Table of the Treasure Coast, a nonprofit organization, continuously strives to achieve one of the organization’s primary missions — that of supporting education. In the last several months, the organization successfully hosted several events, i.e., a well-attended dinner dance, two tactically planned garage sales, and a stupendous fashion show, which rivaled New York runways. This range of events effectively generated sufficient funds to provide four $l,000 scholarships to deserving students at both Martin and St. Lucie counties. Scholarship applications were submitted by numerous intelligent and creative students, whose journey towards a rewarding future is of great significance. To say the least, it was a difficult selection process, since each student met our criteria requirements in scholastic standing, school activity participation and community involvement. We carefully narrowed down the selection to the four whom we felt would
make the organization proud. Each recipient’s future high scholastic achievement in their universities qualifies them for supplementary monetary rewards through their school years, depending on the Round Table’s income. The Pan American Round Table of the Treasure Coast is pleased to announce that our 2013 scholarship recipients are: Aribella Torres – South Fork High School; Christie Novius – Fort Pierce Central High School; Cristaly Mercado – Port Saint Lucie High School, and Mythe Rodriguez – Martin County High School. The Pan American Round Table of the Treasure Coast commends and challenges its scholarship recipients to continue excelling, with only one request that they give the greatest gift they can give back ... that of becoming great role models for future student generations. Support of education, as envisioned by our founder, Florence Griswold almost 100 years ago, has been fulfilled by The Pan American Round Table of the Treasure Coast

The Pan American Round Table of the Treasure Coast thanks the local vendors in the Saint Lucie and Martin county communities, which have so graciously and generously supported our scholarship fundraiser events by donating gift certificates, and gift items. Our small organization cannot do it alone. We count on the generosity of our local community to help achieve our fundraising goals. The vendor donations made it possible for our organization to hold silent auctions, raffles, and to give door prizes.

Local band opens Lyric season Shelley Koppel Staff writer
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TREASURE COAST — The first concert of the season at the Lyric Theatre this fall is a local band, Crossbone, which will perform on Oct. 12. Keith Kohrs, who plays lead guitar with the group, is sound engineer at the Lyric, but the band earned its spot with a loyal following that like its Southern rock sound. The band started in 2003, disbanded and reformed in 2007. It bills itself as a biker-bred Southern rock band, and Kohrs explained
the origin of the term. “The original four members all owned Harley-Davidsons,” he said. “The intent was to play predominantly biker events and fundraisers. We have a strong fan base from Fort Pierce Bike Night. Once we started doing that, there were more shows for fundraisers and for fallen bikers.” The group raises money for many causes, including Christmas Bike Runs and The March of Dimes. They also do fundraisers for individual bikers who have health crises and need assistance with bills.
See CROSSBONE page 27
Photo courtesy of the Lyric Theatre The Southern rock band Crossbone, made up of musicians from the Treasure Coast, will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a performance at the Lyric Theatre on Oct. 12. The concert will open the Lyric’s 2013-2014 season.

There will be video projections of fans and friends and Kohrs said that concert-goers may find themselves on the big screen. The show will close with a surprise as well as nine-member jam.

“We’ve done a lot of fundraisers throughout the years and have a pretty big fan base. We decided to celebrate this year with a 10year anniversary party with all the members who have been in the band over the years.” That party will take place at the Lyric. In addition to Kohrs and current band members Kevin McLoughlin, Paul Goulas, Bobby Lewis and Pat Campion, the group will be joined by former members Garry Nutt, Brian Cunningham, Scott Benge and Norman (Buddy) Reid. Kohrs explained that Southern rock is a genre made popular by bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws. “It’s a fusion of country, blues and rock, with elements of swing and bluegrass,” he said. “It’s a big mix of the music that influenced people growing up in the South. All of the styles are brought together.” The show will not be what you would see at a night club performance. “It’s a full-blown Southern rock show, with lighting and sound,” Kohrs said. “A lot of times, a local band does what they’d do at a local club. This is way beyond what we normally do.” The audience will have the opportunity to see band members they haven’t seen in years and hear
