Scott sees lagoon cesspool Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

TREASURE COAST — After seeing firsthand the forceful discharges of dirty water from Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie Lock and Dam last week, Gov. Rick Scott flatly placed blame on the federal government for the freshwater’s destruction of the Indian River Lagoon.

“The federal government has got to start showing up and doing their job,” Scott said to a crush of media on Aug. 20. “They got

A room full of approximately 70 Torino-area residents packed a private room in Superplay USA in St. Lucie West on Aug. 20 to create a more aggressive approach to protest the two-building treatment center for recovering addicts. The same

Jewish parents upset with school calendar error Patrick McCallister Staff writer

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Some Jewish parents are upset with a school calendar error. Lawyer Stuart Address, who has a child attending Morningside Elementary, said those parents tried negotiating with the St. Lucie County Public Schools for a few months to correct it, but to no avail. He found out about it on Sunday, Aug. 25.

“I said, ‘I’ll take care of it; I’m a civil rights attorney,’” he said in a telephone interview.

Address sent Genelle Yost, who was interim superintendent, a letter asking for a calendar change.

Despite the late-coming addition of his efforts, children will still head to class on Thursday, Sept.

5, and be off on Friday, Sept. 13.

That’s as of press time, Tuesday, Aug. 27.

The earlier day is on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Yom Kippur starts on Friday. But,

there’s a wrinkle in the tablecloth. Jewish days start at sundown, thus the Day of Atonement will begin at about 7:30 p.m. this year. In other words, long after children are out of school.

“The whole reason Friday the 13th is off is because of the holiday, but it makes no sense,” Address said.

Address said there’s a longstanding understanding at the schools that if Yom Kippur is on a weekday, children will be out of school that day. If it falls on a weekend, then the children get Rosh Hashanah off. Calendars often show Jewish holidays on the days that they begin in the evenings. Address believes that district staff acted in good faith believing that Friday was the right day to close schools this year.

But it wasn’t. He believes that the district should switch the off days to honor the longstanding practice of giving children Rosh Hashanah off if Yom Kippur is on a weekend.

“I don’t think there was an

intentional effort in the beginning to do anything improper,” he said. “I think someone made a mistake. But, now, they don’t want to own up to it.”

In response to his letter, Yost said switching the students’ days off would be problematic.

“Keeping that in mind and acknowledging your concerns, it would be extremely disruptive to our kids, staff and parents to change the school calendar at this late date,” she wrote.

In the phone interview, Address said he understands that the change would be difficult. However, he said it’s not impossible.

More importantly, Address said that he’d accept a denial of his request if it came with some appearance of concern.

“I got a form letter back,” Address said. “That’s what I got.”

Address said he’ll ask the school board to adopt a policy that better outlines when school will close for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah.

“We had the same problem last year,” Address said.

Stuart Address He noted that Martin and other counties seem to do a better job with the Jewish holidays. This year, the Martin County Schools are closed on Thursday, Sept. 5, Rosh Hashanah.

Jewish students in St. Lucie can get an excused absence on that day. The 2013-2014 school calendar was adopted earlier this year.

Yost didn’t respond to a request for interview by press time.

Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the Jewish year.

DETOX from page 1 residents have been picketing in recent weeks, writing letters to the Port St. Lucie City Council and making calls to local politicians pleading for help.

The meeting was open only to residents who staunchly oppose the project. Attendees said their District 2 Councilwoman Michelle Berger hasn’t been doing enough to back her constituents.

They were surprised when Berger caught wind of the meeting and showed up.

“Legally, there is very little I can say without derailing this whole process,” Berger told the crowd.

Berger did however divulge she’s concerned about how vast the project is, likening it to a “Holiday Inn in your backyard.”

“For me, it’s about density. It may be for you about safety and it may be for you about the clients that are in there,” Berger said.

“That’s not my issue.”

The founder of New Life Addiction Treatment Center, which is located in Port St. Lucie, wants to build a facility with two buildings on a 3.93-acre property he owns on the northeast corner of Northwest East Torino Parkway and Zenith Drive.

The complex will include a 30bed detox and a rehabilitation center. The site plan is set for review by the city’s planning and

zoning board on Sept. 3. The board will decide whether it will grant a special exemption to the property’s institutional zoning designation to allow the detox center. The project will then go before the city council at its Sept.

23 meeting.

The first phase would be a 9,900-square-foot, one-story building with 30 beds, where patients would stay five to seven days to detox from drugs, planners representing New Life Center said. The second phase was to be a 20,500-square-foot, two-story structure where 80 patients would go once they complete detoxification. That part of the plan was changed in recent weeks to appease residents, project representatives said. It is now planned to be a single-story 14,000 square feet, 40-bed facility. Group or sober homes do not need approval from the planning and zoning board. But, detox and convalescent homes, which administer medication, do.

Residents fear home values will plummet, crime will rise and the neighborhood’s family atmosphere will be compromised. A school bus stop is located near the property.

Residents are fearful area children who walk to nearby West Gate K-8 and Renaissance Charter School will be in danger.

“Once someone loses their child, their grandchild, you can never get them back,” resident Joe Malik

Staff photo by Nicole Rodriguez Torino resident Capt. Stan Jarusinski rallies community support against a proposed detox center in his neighborhood. Approximately 70 residents met at Superplay USA in St. Lucie West on Aug. 20 to strategize against the facility, which will go up for review at the city’s planning and zone board meeting on Sept. 3 said.

The catch is recovering drug and alcohol addicts are considered disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act and are protected under the Fair Housing Act. That means there is little a local government can do to stop a sober or group home from opening in a residential area. The detox element must still be reviewed by the planning and zoning board and the city council.

Project planners said potential patients will undergo a back-

ground check and only individuals who want treatment will be admitted. No court-ordered patients will be accepted and security cameras will be on at all times, representatives said.

Residents aren’t buying it.

“Go drive up to one of these detox centers and just park in the parking lot and see what goes on.

You’re going to be shocked,” said Capt. Stan Jarusinski. “There’s no supervision. They come and go as they please, however they want. If you live nearby, God bless us.”

“We have a crisis in our community. We have an environmental emergency. What I want to focus my attention on is between now and the end of the year what things we can do short-term to lower the amount of water pouring into our community.”

Senator Joe Negron LAGOON from page 1 to start funding the projects.

The (Army) Corps can’t make it happen if the federal government doesn’t start putting the money into the Corps.”

During his brief visit, Scott did not go outside and meet with hundreds of constituents, who held signs and banners calling for a water diversion south. Scott also dodged questions about buying Big Sugar land in order to restore the natural flow of lake water down through the Everglades, but he did make a promise.

“Today we’re announcing that all of us are committed (to earmarking) $40 million in the next budget to be able to get the C-44 treatment area done within the next 18 months,” said Scott, who’s been in office for two years.

The South Florida Water Management District has been trying to secure private and state land to store water, Scott also said.

Scott added he understands the massive discharges into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers have created a negative impact on business and home sales on both of the state’s coasts. A vital component in stopping such large water dumps is fixing the Herbert Hoover Dike, an undertaking that will require lots of federal funding, Scott said.

Scott toured the area with Florida Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart.

Negron said he’s interested in finding a short term solution to salvage the lagoon and its estuaries.

“There’s no reason why Fort Myers and the Treasure Coast should be the septic system for water problems of the state of Florida,” said Negron, who’s calling for a 50 percent reduction in the freshwater discharges.

Florida Rep. Gayle Harrell, R-Stuart, echoed the governor’s sentiments, saying the U.S. Congress needs to “put the money where their mouth is.”

“We also need to press the federal government and the Obama administration to step up to the plate,” Harrell said. “The Army Corps of Engineers has a lot of responsibility and the federal government and President Obama needs to come on board.”

Local officials said Scott’s $40 million pledge is a good start, but much more needs to be done.

“He needs to find by any means necessary to help us to make sure that legislation needs to be done, if money needs to come out of Tallahassee, that the St. Lucie River stays and becomes clean,” Stuart Mayor Eula Clarke said.

The city is also looking at ways to promote clean water.

“We are trying to take people off

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Protestors voicing their concerns of water being released from Lake Okeechobee into the Indian River Lagoon make an attempt to be heard by Gov. Rick Scott at Phipps Park in Stuart Tuesday, Aug. 20. The governor visited the lock in Stuart to unveil a preliminary plan for cleaning the waterways. of septic tanks, little by little,” Clarke said.

The city has stormwater treatment areas to make sure rain run-off is clean before it’s discharged and may also look into tightening fertilizer ordinances, Clarke said.

Port St. Lucie City Councilwoman Michelle Berger said the governor’s commitment is a good launchpad for progress.

“I love the beginning stage of the commitment, but from my perspective, it’s not enough,” Berger said. “… Certainly to the layman, $40 million may sound like a lot of money, but to other elected officials … we understand $40 million doesn’t go a long way.”

Berger, who said the city has invested roughly $40 million into its Eastern Watershed Project which holds and purifies water, said the lagoon can’t handle freshwater discharges, dirty or clean.

“It’s two-folds. It’s cleaning the water and it’s reducing the releases of water. It’s not rocket science. Fresh water being introduced into our estuary equals bad.”

St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky said the county is looking into creating a storm water treatment area near Heath-

cote Gardens in Fort Pierce. The area is an abandoned sand mine, which is 60 feet deep and sits above the Indian River Lagoon.

Water would flow from Virginia Avenue just past the Healthcote Botanical Gardens.

Strategically placed plants will absorb the nitrogen and phosphorous-laden water to purify it.

Once treated, the water will be sent to the Savannas Preserve State Park, Dzadovsky said.

“Remove the nutrients, that’s a key,” he said.

Of Scott’s pledge, Dzadovsky said, “I think it’s a good gesture in the right direction, but what I truly believe is, that it’s a 40-year plan with $40 million a year; $1.6 billion is probably the accurate number it will take.”

Bill Paterson, chairman of the Republican Party of St. Lucie County, said a middle ground must be met soon. It’s going to take discussions among environmentalists and engineers, not just politicians, Paterson said.

“I think that smart people need to sit in a room and figure out a solution that is workable and I’m sure it won’t be palatable to everyone, but it has to be in the best interest of the state and future of our state,” said Paterson, who praised Scott for visiting the area.

Eagles win Patrick Bernadeau

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

ST. LUCIE WEST — The St. Lucie West Centennial Eagles fought off a late Martin County rally to defeat the Tigers 21-20 and capture the Kickoff Classic.

For football fans across the state, late August doesn’t feel like summer’s final stretch, but more like Christmas time with the preseason Kickoff Classics serving as nicely wrapped gifts underneath the tree.

For the players and coaches, it’s the first time that they’ve been able to step on the field in competitive action since their spring games in May. The fans of St. Lucie West Centennial and Martin County High schools at Bob Collins Stadium Friday night were treated to a trilling opening act of the 2013 season.

Elijah Richardson rumbled into the end zone from eight yards out with 2:09 remaining in the game to give Centennial a 21-14 lead.

The game-deciding score would be Richardson’s second rushing touchdown of the day. Richardson would end with 152 yards on 22 carries.

Martin County freshman quarterback Austin Kuyrkendall drove the Tigers 53 yards in the final two minutes of play and completed a 23 yard touchdown pass to

Nate Simmons to pull the Tigers within one point. As opposed to kicking the game-tying extra point, the Tigers two-point conversation failed with the Kuyrkendall-Simmons combination connected out of bounds.

“We fought our tails off,” Centennial head coach Ron Parker said.

“We made some mistakes tonight, but Martin County has a great team, and I’m just happy we pulled through.”

The Eagles left the field with a victory, but understanding that there is work left to be done. Centennial built a 14-0 lead thanks to their offensive line creating large holes for Richardson and quarterback Javid Ellis to run through while the defense cause three turnovers.

However, the Eagles hampered themselves with 13 penalties and two lost fumbles, the second of which resulted in Martin County starting the ensuring drive from the Eagle two-yard line and tying the game at 14.

“There were some mistakes, but we can fix that,” Parker said. “The biggest thing is they have to learn from it and try to get better every game. I’ll take the penalties as long as they learn about the little things.”

Centennial will begin the regular season Friday at South County Regional Stadium hosting Kathleen High School.

The Eagles won the game 21-20. The Eagles open their season against the visiting Kathleen High School team from Polk County at South County Stadium Friday, Aug. 30 at 7 p.m.

The congressman said he will continue to communicate with the president.

“I have a direct line of communication with his administration to urge them to fund these projects,” Murphy said. “Part of it is the administration, part of it is the Congress.”

take local, state and federal cooperation.

“I do not believe there is one single thing that is going to solve it,” he said. “It’s going to be a compilation of solutions.” “… What I’m trying to do is get all of the parties together because I’m sick of listening to this blame game.”

It’s going to take a lot of funding, too, Murphy said.

“When we talk about spending money, I think a lot of people in this environment don’t want to spend a dollar, but there’s smart spending and there’s wasteful spending,” Murphy told the panel, who included panel chair Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, Sen. Charles Dean, Sr., R-Inverness, Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee and six other Florida senators.

“Spending on our infrastructure, spending on repairing the dike, spending on C-44; these projects are smart spending,” said Murphy, who held a bottle of dirty water from the lagoon. Murphy promised to bring the brown liquid to the house floor. He also offered water farming as a shortterm solution during his time before the panel.

A bone of contention was the massive discharges from Lake Okeechobee the Army Corps of Engineers is allowed to make because of their exemption from the Clean Water Act of 1972.

During the panel, Negron posed

“A federal bureaucracy should not have the exclusive jurisdiction to decide what water pours into our community at any given moment in time,” Negron said.

Aedes aegypti mosquito mitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito, not person to person. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main transmitter of dengue viruses. In some cases, the Aedes albopictus mosquito has also transmitted the disease. Both of these tropical mosquitoes are found in large numbers in Martin and St. Lucie counties.

Locally acquired dengue is rare in the U.S. Prior to the four, the last case was contracted by a resident of Port Salerno in August 2011.

TREASURE COAST — After seven confirmed cases of a rare mosquito-borne illness in Martin County, officials are cautioning residents, including the area’s neighbors to the north, to remain on high alert.

The Florida Department of Health in Martin County has issued a health alert for dengue fever following confirmation of several cases contracted in the Rio neighborhood of Jensen Beach.

Each individual is expected to make a full recovery, officials said.

“Though some people may experience little to no symptoms, the most common symptoms of dengue include high fever, severe headache, joint and bone pain and rash,” Karlette Peck, health officer for the Martin County Health Department, said in a press release. “People who have symptoms of dengue should contact their healthcare provider immediately.”

District and the Army Corps have an open line of communication and generally work well together. He did, however, suggest regulations that date back decades must be reviewed as time progresses.

“If there are specifics to make sure they are working together, I’d love to visit that,” Murphy said.

State stance Florida Rep. Larry Lee Jr., D-Port St. Lucie, said the condition of the lagoon has worsened to a state that requires action now.

“I’m going to be asking (Gov. Rick Scott) to declare our area a state of emergency.”

A solution is complicated, but may be achieved quicker in the case of an emergency declaration.

“It’s not just one issue. It’s the releases from Lake Okeechobee, the ground water and stormwater runoff, the fertilizers, the septic tanks,” Lee said.

Lee urged other states to take heed of the Treasure Coast’s plight.

“If other states on a national level don’t start paying attention to what’s happening to our river, our lagoon, it can travel right up,” Lee said.

Local viewpoint “This is not a simple fix that the federal government will handle,” District 1 St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky said. “The federal government is responsible for flooding only.

Water quality is the responsibility of the state, wholly.”

Dzadovsky said the county is ready to step up to the plate to do its part.

“Local governments have the responsibility of managing their own stormwater treatment areas,” he said. “It has to be a comprehensive fixture across the board.”

Dzadovsky presented the panel with a list of 12 different short-

term solutions. One was using a contaminant “boom,” which is a temporary floating barrier used to contain an oil spill. That method would require state authorization, he said.

Dzadovsky also suggested pumping saltwater into the lagoon at Mud Creek to balance the salinity. “(It will) add oxygen content so we have the opportunity of saving what’s left.”

Dzadovsky, who is also pushing for stricter septic tank regulations, said something needs to be done about the Ten Mile Creek reservoir, located within the county’s boundary, just west of Fort Pierce.

The $33 million project features include an above-ground reservoir of approximately 526 acres surrounded by a 12- to 15-foot tall embankment. The reservoir was designed to store up to 6,000 acre feet of water at an average depth of 10 feet. The project also includes a 132-acre stormwater treatment area with pumps for water treatment and release, according to information on the Army Corps of Engineers website.

It was designed to capture and hold water for gradual release, to mimic a more natural stormwater flow. It was to provide seasonal and temporary storage of peak stormwater flows from the Ten Mile Creek basin and to slowly release those flows back into the creek to moderate the salinity levels and reduce sediment loads in the downstream St. Lucie River and estuary.

Dzadovsky wants the South Florida Water Management District to take control of the project, but that will require cutting through some thick red tape.

Near the end of the construction, the concrete in the liner was found to be deficient for the original purpose, so the District left the project in the hands of the Army Corps. The reservoir will require millions in funding to fix and has sat defunct and in a “passive operating state” since 2009.

Labor Day The History Of Labor Day

Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and athletic events.

Until Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, laborers who chose to participate in parades had to forfeit a day’s wages. Labor Day, an annual celebration of workers and their achievements, originated during one of American labor history’s most dismal chapters.

In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the average American worked 12-hour days and sevenday weeks in order to eke out a basic living.

Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks.

As manufacturing increasingly supplanted agriculture as the wellspring of American employment, labor unions, which had first appeared in the late 18th century, grew more prominent and vocal. They began organizing strikes and rallies to protest poor conditions

and compel employers to renegotiate hours and pay. Many of these events turned violent during this period, including the infamous Haymarket Riot of 1886, in which several Chicago policemen and workers were killed.

Others gave rise to longstanding traditions: On September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to march from City Hall to Union Square in New York City, holding the first Labor Day parade in U.S. history. The idea of a “workingmen’s holiday,” celebrated on the first Monday in September, caught on in other industrial centers across the country, and many states passed legislation recognizing it.

Congress would not legalize the holiday until 12 years later, when a watershed moment in American labor history brought workers’ rights squarely into the public’s view. On May 11, 1894, employees of the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago went on strike to protest wage cuts and the firing of union representatives. On June 26, the American Railroad Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, called for a boycott of all Pullman railway

cars, crippling railroad traffic nationwide.

To break the strike, the federal government dispatched troops to Chicago, unleashing a wave of riots that resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen workers. In the wake of this massive unrest and in an attempt to repair ties with American workers, Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

More than a century later, the true founder of Labor Day has yet to be identified. Many credit Peter J. McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, while others have suggested that Matthew Maguire, a secretary of the Central Labor Union, first proposed the holiday.

Labor Day is still celebrated in cities and towns across the United States with parades, picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays and other public gatherings. For many Americans, particularly children and young adults, it represents the end of the summer and the start of the backto-school season.

Schools suspend search for superintendent Nicole Rodriguez Staff writer

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Heeding the advice of its national search consultant, the St. Lucie County School Board voted to suspend its search for a new superintendent at a special meeting last week.

The board is expected to promote its interim superintendent Genelle Yost to the post until her retirement in June 2015.

“I made the recommendation because I felt all along that

Genelle has the great leadership skills to be a great superintendent,” search consultant Jim Huge said.

“My belief was rather than hire somebody else now and have a transition and really go through two transitions, (hire Yost) because she’s already made the transition into the superintendency now.”

Huge will formally recommend the promotion at the board’s next meeting on Aug. 27, after Your Voice News & Views press time.

The 806th returns

Staff writer

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Treasure Coast has been missing about a hundred faces since November. They’re home now with big smiles. On Friday, Aug. 23, the Florida National Guard’s 806th Military Police Company returned home from a deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The company is stationed in Fort Pierce.

It was the company’s second deployment to Afghanistan. It was also deployed in 2004 to 2005.

Staff Sgt. Andres Moreira Jr. was in both deployments. He said deploying is something a soldier never starts liking.

“One really never looks forward to going back,” he said. “For the most part, it was nerve-racking.

You can do all the training in the world, but when you’re expecting the unexpected that’s very scary.

Not knowing if you’ll come home the same way, in one piece, that’s very scary.”

Moreira is back home just in time for his daughter, Autumn, to start high school.

“Scaring off guys is what I’ll be doing,” he said.

His son Alex is starting his last year of elementary school. The 33-year-old joined the guard back in 1998, shortly after high school.

“I was in (Army Junior ROTC) in high school,” Moreira said. “Going through ROTC in high school, you tend to have a respect for the military.”

Staff Sgt. Jose Angulo also lives in Port St. Lucie. He’s been in the National Guard for 12 years. This was his second deployment to Afghanistan, too. There were big differences between the two deployments for him. Back in 2004, he had a friend named Amy. “When I came home, we started dating,” Angulo said.

When he got his boots back on Florida this time, Angulo’s wife was waiting for him.

“It was a big change for her,” he said. “Last time, we were just friends. This time she had to go through it in the front seat.”

That made things different for him, too.

“Last time, my parents took care of everything,” Angulo said. “This time, I had to get involved and worry about my wife, worry about my house.”

The 806 was overseeing detainees this time around. Last deployment, it provided force protection.

“First deployment, we were protection for a civil affairs unit,” Moreira said.

That took the company to Afghan villages last deployment. This time around, they didn’t have much in-

RETURN from page 17 teraction with locals. The 806 was designated an internment resettlement company in 2009. Moreira said most on the last deployment weren’t around last time.

The biggest difference between the deployments for him?

“Rank, age and responsibility,” Moreira said.

Angulo said he dreaded separation from Amy this deployment, but he was looking forward to putting his training to practice.

“I was excited, because I’m in a different part of my career and I’m leading troops,” he said.

Both said that there are many differences in Afghanistan since 2005. Some things, however, are the same. The weather, for instance.

“It was cold when we got there,” Angulo said. “It was snowing.

Then it was bitter cold. Then it got hot. Really hot.”

Operation Enduring Freedom – Afghanistan is America’s longest military engagement, depending on how historical engagements are measured. Some military historians hold that Vietnam was longer, noting the presence of U.S. military personnel in Vietnam going back to the 1950s. However, most count the Vietnam War from when Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution in 1964 to the withdrawal of ground troops in 1973.

www.YourVoiceWeekly.com OEF – Afghanistan started in October 2001, shortly after the massive terrorist attacks on Sept.

11 that year. The Florida National Guard reports that more than 17,000 members have deployed in support of federal mobilizations over the last 12 years.

Moreira said Afghan society seems weary of the war.

“I think they’re ready to start their own lives and move on,” he said.

The United States has progressively pulled back from combat operations and shifted to training Afghan forces. President Barack Obama has worked toward a 2014 exit of American forces from Afghanistan, but has left open the possibility of remaining longer.

“Last time, we didn’t work with the Afghan national army,” Angulo said. “This time we worked closely with them.”

Moreira and Angulo offered tips to the community about the returning guard members. Both said little displays of support and gratitude for their service mean a lot. Both also said that it’s helpful when friends, co-workers, neighbors and others are willing to listen, but not pushy about talking to guard members about their deployments.

“The one thing I can tell you not to do is ask if we shot anybody,” Moreira said. “Believe it not, that question came up a lot after the last deployment.”

One day the “For Sale” sign went up. It’s what we’d been waiting for, but could we afford it?

theme that we’re following this year, ‘Cruising to Excellence,” and we are focusing on the data, data-driven instruction to drive student performance through quality instruction.”

The search for a new superintendent began this summer after outgoing Superintendent Michael Lannon announced his retirement after 10 years at the district’s helm. The search was narrowed down from 21 to six candidates. After several withdrew for various reasons, the board could not make a decision and requested Huge broaden the search.

5407

The search will resume next fall, possibly in September, with candidate interviews beginning in October or November, Huge said.

The goal is to have the new superintendent report for duty in June 2015, Huge said.

“It will be a much more relaxed search,” Huge said.

Huge added the stall will allow for more applicants to throw their names in the hat.

The unanimous choice to suspend the search was an easy one, school board member Kathryn Hensley said.

“We started the process with this big picture, but as time went on, we found that we had someone inside that is probably better qualified than anyone else we’ve had come forward,” Hensley said. “So, the process worked because it led us to this path.”

“She’s highly qualified, she’s very engaged and she’s spent her entire professional career in St. Lucie County,” Hensley said.

“The few weeks she’s been in the seat, she’s already proven what we knew.”

Hensley’s fellow board member,

Carol Hilson, echoed the same sentiment.

“It’s nice to have somebody who understands the culture of the community.”

Yost said she never entertained the thought of becoming superintendent because of her looming retirement date in June 2015.

“I will tell you that I’m pleased to be given this opportunity and I just love St. Lucie County.”

Yost has spent her entire educational career in St. Lucie County.

It has spanned 39 years.

Yost said she has big plans for students this year.

“For our students, we have a

Christie play opens season Actors Barry Wood, Jon Bates, Tom Dolan, Jerry Badiner, Audrey Stabile, John Houx, Ellen Gillette prepare for their role in Agatha Christie’s ‘Ten Little Indians’ beginning Sept. 5 at the Pineapple Playhouse in Fort Pierce.

Shelley Koppel Staff writer

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — “Ten Little Indians,” published in 1939, is Agatha Christie’s best-selling novel, the world’s best-selling mystery and one of the best-selling books of all time. Dame Agatha wrote the stage play in 1943, with the name changed to “And Then There Were None.”

Several details in the book were altered to make it more upbeat.

The novel has been filmed several times and parodied, as well.

FEVER from page 11 There have been no previous locally acquired cases of dengue in St. Lucie County, officials said.

“In the U.S., there are usually fewer than 10 cases every year and most are in Florida,” Bob Washam, director of Florida Department of Health in Martin County.

It is estimated that there are over 100 million cases of dengue worldwide each year.

St. Lucie County Mosquito Control and Coastal Management Services said they’ve already performed three “dengue sweeps” in Port St. Lucie. None of those areas were in St. Lucie West or Tradition.

“We go door-to-door and what we’re looking for is container breeders. We have a ‘tip and toss’ program, where if we find containers that have standing water in them, we will tip them over and drain the water and toss them out,” said Sherry Burroughs, St. Lucie County mosquito control manager.

Burroughs added mosquitos are usually out in full force during the Florida wet season from May 20 to Oct. 20.

Mosquito protection tips from the Florida Department of Health:

Drain standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying Drain water from garbage cans,

house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected.

Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren’t being used.

Empty and clean birdbaths, pets water bowls and even tropical bromeliad plants at least once or twice a week.

Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don’t accumulate water.

Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.

Cover skin with clothing or repellent Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.

Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535 are effective. Also use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.

Cover doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches and patios.

ents the classic who-dunnit on Sept. 5-22. It tells the tale of 10 people who have had something to do with the deaths of others.

Each committed a crime that escaped the notice of the authorities or was morally responsible for deaths, though no crime was committed.

The individuals are all invited, under a variety of pretexts, to visit an island off the coast of England. One by one, they die.

Who is killing them and how to stop him-or-her-is the focus of the play.

Mercedes Finley is directing the mystery.

“The premise is that disparate people are invited to a holiday house by Mr. Owen,” she said.

“They face a far worse reception than they were expecting. Agatha Christie is very good at tormenting her characters.”

The members of the group go to the island retreat after receiving invitations. Some think they are going for a job; others think it is a vacation.

“It’s all set up by Mr. Owen, and all have a reason for coming, but it’s not the reason they think,” Finley said.

The play is based around a British children’s rhyme, titled “Ten

Little Soldier Boys,” in which, one by one, someone dies, leaving fewer with each round. In the book, everyone dies at the end, but the play has been altered to leave some characters alive and provide a happier ending. Finley, of course, is giving nothing away.

The cast includes Audrey Stabile as Vera Claythorne, a former governess and secretary to the hostess, Mrs. Owen; Barry Wood as Philip Lombard, a man of mystery; John Houx as Lawrence Wargrave, a retired judge; Patrick Tilley as Anthony Marston, a rich young man; Jerry Badiner as General MacKenzie; Chad Granese as Dr. Armstrong, a timid doctor; James Green as Mr. Rogers, the dignified butler; Brittney Altman as Mrs. Rogers, the frail wife of the butler; Ellen Gillette as Emily Brent, an elderly, deeply religious woman; Tom Dolan as William Blore, a former police inspector; and Tony Ferrino as Narracott, the character who brings the guests to the house.

While the story seems sinister, it has a lot of comedy, as well “It’s fun,” Finley said. “It has some dramatic parts, but it’s well-rounded. When I first read it, I loved it. Now that we’re get-

ting into it, I see the multifacets.

“There isn’t a sleuth, per se. All are trying to figure it out. We’ve just blocked Act 2, Scene 2, where it says, ‘The killer is one of us…which of us…’ It’s really exciting. I can’t wait to get the whole thing together and put it on.

Finley is excited about her cast.

It includes one member who has never acted before, Patrick Tilley.

He went to the auditions with his girlfriend and he got a part of Anthony Marston because he fit the bill and because men are always in short supply at casting calls.

“He’s handsome and looks the part,” Finley said. “He’s really gung-ho.”

Other performers are veterans, including John Houx, who has appeared frequently at the Vero Beach Theatre Guild.

“It’s his first time at the Pineapple, but he and I worked together at the Barn,” Finley said. “He’s an amazing character actor.”

Finley also mentioned her daughter, Savannah Richmond, who serves as stage manager. A theater professional, Finley said that she’s learning a lot from her daughter.

This is the second time Finley’s has directed an Agatha Christie murder mystery.

“As a kid, I went though an Agatha Christie phase,” she said.

“She was a genius. Never, ever did I dream that I’d go on to direct such things.”

The Pineapple Playhouse, 700 W. Weatherbee Road, Fort Pierce,

presents “And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie from Sept. 5-22. Performances are Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18.
