We will never forget Project to transport sand to Miami-Dade beaches questioned St. Lucie County commissioners seek full study Jay Meisel
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer Rob Newman, St. Lucie County firefighter/paramedic rang the bell during the ceremonies memorializing those who died on Sept. 11, 2001 in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. Ceremonies were held at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center in front of a piece of steel from the twin towers on permanent display.
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — It’s obvious why the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering removing sand from off the coast of St. Lucie County and use it for Miami-Dade beaches. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study shows that during the next 50 years Miami-Dade County needs more than 18.2 million cubic yards of sand to maintain its beaches. But, a study chart states that with only 7 million cubic yards available off the coast of Miami-Dade County, there’s a shortfall of11.2 million cubic yards. Further north, St. Lucie County will need 24.4 million cubic yards. The study states that there’s 58.8 million cubic yards, resulting in a surplus of 34.3 million cubic yards of sand available. While everything would work
out according to the numbers to move some of that sand to Miami-Dade, St. Lucie County commissioners have qualms about the process. The County Commission wants the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a full environmental impact study before making a decision. That would exceed the initial environmental assessment conducted by the Corps that concludes moving the sand won’t be environmentally detrimental to the St. Lucie County area. St. Lucie County Commissioner Frannie Hutchinson said she believes the Corps needs to conduct a more detailed environmental study to determine the environmental impacts. She said the study is also needed because the issue affects five counties, St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. Although only Miami-Dade needs sand now, other counties, such as Palm Beach, may need it in the not-too-distant future, she said. Hutchinson said she believes

Christ Fellowship making mega move into Tradition Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

TRADITION — Local ministers say they’re generally upbeat about mega-church Christ Fellowship moving into the Treasure
Coast. “I’m looking forward to Tradition getting its first permanent church,” Bill Whitt, pastor of Sunlight Community Church in St. Lucie West, said. In July Port St. Lucie City Manager Jeff Bremer ceremo-
nially handed the keys of Tradition Studios over to Christ Fellowship pastors. Buying the 115,000-square-foot building came about the same time the Palm Beach Gardens church was preparing to open a new 50,000-square-foot Stuart cam-
pus. That facility, which opened in August, was its eighth. The church had been holding services at South Fork High School before then. Those services attracted about 1,500.

Local ‘Bat man’ is a friend of the bats Lisa Barry
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST – Dan Bozone never thought he would grow up to be a “bat man,” but now spends his time lurking in attics, scaling roofs, and safely removing some of Florida’s most valuable critters from homes and businesses never intended to house them. Bozone, a St. Lucie County resident, was introduced to the bat-proofing and removal business by his brother-in-law many years ago, but at first he was not too sure it was his cup of tea. “They kind of freaked me out at first, as they do with most people,” Bozone said. Once he started learning more about the species that serve a necessary and important role in Florida’s many ecosystems, Bozone gradually became more interested in how to help serve and protect them. In 2005 he bought his brotherin-law’s business and has continued the family operation, “Friends of Bats” ever since. Bozone’s home base is in Palm City, with large customer bases throughout St. Lucie and Martin Counties, but he travels the state
solving bat predicaments. “Bats are really beneficial to the environment; they’re just not very good house guests,” Bozone said. “Every one of those little bats eats 2 to 3,000 bugs every night,” acting as a better pesticide than any chemical or solution humans can produce, Bozone added. The bug eaters do more than keep the mosquitos off humans, Bozone said; they keep harmful insects from destroying agricultural land and crops. The majority of bats found in Florida live and travel in colonies. A small colony generally consists of 100 or more bats, but larger colonies can reach into the thousands, according to Bozone. As natural habitats become increasingly replaced by manmade infrastructure, the bats run out of places to live and sleep. With fewer trees to hang from, bats start to come indoors. All it takes is a half-inch opening in a roof or wall for a bat to enter. Once one is in, its colony will follow. “One of the most common places in Florida for the bats to live is between the barrels in a tile roof,” Bozone said. At first, home or business own-

The uncertainty of the last few years, undoubtedly has caused most of us who love fine Antique jewelry to question the decisions we have made in the past and forced us to re-examine our plans for the future. As we walk through our beautiful store assessing our inventory it’s not a problem to say unequivocally that my mentors were correct. Buy and own rare Antique or one of a kind pieces. It has given us more pleasure than money sitting idly in a low-return bank account. It makes us happy to get up each day and see our beautiful, rare Antique treasures instead of worrying how the Asian or European markets are doing currently, most of us are forced out of the conventional safe havens of banking or solid income producing assets. Many feel forced to still play the market. My mentors remembered the crash of the 1930’s. I too, do not want my happiness to rely on the old investments. I want to see and hold my assets. You can ask a few economists to look at the same data and they will come to a radically different opinions about the future of our economy. Fred & I are very optimistic & feel this great country will have a wonderful future. Always remember rare, beautiful jewels have stood the test of time. I am not an expert on economics but I am an expert of Fine Antique & custom Jewelry. That’s why I have devoted our talent, passion & energy to our business. If you are considering selling Great Grandmother’s wonderful Antique Jewels, we are always interested in buying. If you are contemplating acquiring a rare piece.... Please come see us. Terry & Fred

Paraplegic fights to extend tax exemption for totally disabled Jay Meisel
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
PORT ST. LUCIE — Twenty-two years ago, Robert Mizell survived a plane crash in Louisiana. The accident left him as a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair. Unable to work, Mizell, who now lives in Port St. Lucie, survives on limited disability income. Because of that limited income, Mizell says every expense affects him harder than it might someone else. For several years as a result, Mizell has been fighting a somewhat lonely battle regarding taxes that may ultimately affect every paraplegic or totally disabled person in the state. Mizell believes he should not have to pay any local taxes because of a state law that exempts totally disabled people from having to pay property taxes. But, nevertheless, Mizell, who gets about $10,000 a year in disability, receives a tax bill annually of about $421. In fact, he doesn’t pay any taxes for county parks, public trans-

He also doesn’t pay taxes to the City of Port St. Lucie, the City of Port St. Lucie for debt approved by voters, the School Discretionary Fund, School capital improvement, a local school tax, mosquito control or water management. His entire tax bill is made up of $153 for stormwater system management improvements/ maintenance and $268.36 for solid waste. Mizell said he learned that the state tax exemption doesn’t apply to special taxing assessments, such as those. For years, Mizell has been appearing before the Port St. Lucie City Council seeking relief from the tax assessment. Once again, he did so on Aug. 24. But, the City Council hasn’t acted, he said.

Actor and director talk theater Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST LUCIE WEST — Robert Pollock, of St. Lucie West has spent a lifetime in the theater. A native of the Cleveland area, he performed in high school and community theater while teaching middle school history. When he moved to St. Lucie West a year ago, he immediately gravitated toward the Barn Theatre, where he performed in “Things My Mother Taught Me.” Pollock also built a resume as a director, and he will direct the Barn’s season-opener, the female version of “The Odd Couple,” Sept. 25-Oct. 11. He spoke recently about his love for the theater as an actor and director. “I started in high school in the chorus,” he said. “My choir teacher told me I had a wonderful voice and told me how to sing and project. It was the inspiration for getting me going in musical theater.” Pollock attended Cleveland State University for his undergraduate and graduate work before beginning a 40-year career as a teacher. In the summers, he would teach at a summer camp for the arts. In community theater, he played some of the best male roles in musical theater, including Tony in “West Side Story,” Emile de Becque in “South Pacific” and Frederick in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pirates of
Penzance.” At a certain point in every leading man’s life comes the realization that those roles will go to younger actors. He began seeking character roles and was happy with them. In the late 1970s he began looking at directing. “Community theaters are always looking for directors,” he said. “I directed musicals in high schools and comedies in community theater. I prefer acting, but it’s so different. People don’t understand how labor intensive it is to direct.” In addition to casting, the director has to deal with the technical aspects of the play. “You have to block without a set,” he said, “Blocking is where the director tells the character where to move and on what line. It’s difficult to direct without the set, because you’re imagining where the doors and tables are. I’m doing the first show of the (Barn) season so the set was built.” Pollock said that getting the actors off-book, or acting without the script, is an additional challenge. “I have a couple of weeks where they know their lines and I polish them up and get them into character,” he said. A show like ‘The Odd Couple’ has so many props, so it’s about getting them offbook so they can get accustomed to working with props.” This show has an additional challenge, in that many snowbirds have not returned and audiences may be thinner.

the Corps needs to look more deeply at how the removal of the sand will affect fisheries and the ecology of the ocean. “At this point those questions have not been answered,” Hutchinson said. She’s also concerned about how often and how much sand would be removed from the ocean near St. Lucie County. Commissioners question who would monitor the removal of the sand to make sure excess sand is not being removed, she said. Another issue, she said, is what affect the removal of the sand would have on the shoreline if a hurricane struck Florida. An Environmental Impact study would answer those questions, Hutchinson said. Amanda Parker, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said that the Corps will consider that. “The Army Corps of Engineers has prepared a draft environmental assessment and draft finding of no significant impact for the identification of alternative sand sources for the remaining period of federal participation, Dade County Beach Erosion Control and Hurricane Protection Project,” she said in an email. “The draft environmental as-

ers will not realize they have a bat or two living in their roof or attic. As more bats gather, people will start to hear the chatter and eventually, smell what the bats are leaving behind. “Some seasonal residents won’t catch it for months,” Bozone said. The stench from bat urine and feces can contaminate entire households, seeping into furniture and carpet and attracting other pests like cockroaches. Enough bats in one place can even cause structural damage to a property. “In those cases, people need an entire environmental cleanup,” Bozone said. Once the bats have already claimed a spot in a building, it’s Bozone’s job to help get them out. Trapping or exterminating bats is illegal in the state of Florida, so Bozone lures the bats out of unwelcome territory with a special one-way exit that keeps them from returning. “I’m like an eviction sheriff,” Bozone said. “The hard part is not getting the bats out, it’s keeping them from getting back in.” The best way to handle a bat problem, according to Bozone, is to prevent them from entering in the first place. “Friends of Bats” is frequently hired to seal up structures so that home and
business owners never have to call for bat eviction. Until every crack is sealed, no one is invincible against a bat invasion. Even some of the newest roofs allow the perfect opening for bats to fly in and make a new home. Bats have a tendency to conjure up images of blood-thirsty vampires or rabies-carrying biters. But Bozone said most bats are completely harmless. Most bats in the wild will go completely undetected by humans because they are nocturnal and rarely make appearances during daytime hours. If a single bat is found on the ground during the day, that is a sign it may be carrying a disease like rabies. But in reality, less than 1 percent of Florida bats are carriers, Bozone said. If a bat ever swoops down on a person, it’s likely his or her body heat is attracting bugs, and the bats are ready for meal time, Bozone added. “Your head may be an open buffet, but they aren’t coming after you.” For a free estimate on bat-proofing a building or removing bats that have already settled in, contact Dan Bozone at Palm City’s “Friends of Bats” by calling (888) 758-2287 or visiting www.friendsofbats.com.

Mizell said that he seemed to get nowhere when JoAnn Faiella was mayor. So far he’s gotten no help from current Mayor Greg Oravec or other members of the City Council. Efforts to reach City Council members were unsuccessful. But, Mizell’s efforts may finally be gaining steam in another direction. State Sen. Joe Negron said he is researching possible legislation that he would introduce. That legislation could extend the exemption to special tax assessments, he said. Negron said he is interested in the issue and is particularly interested in helping veterans who are disabled. Negron said he will be trying to determine whether enough support exists for such legislation. Mizell said he also had the opportunity to meet with Gov. Rick Scott when Scott was in the area. Scott told him that he would support broadening the exemption. He said the governor expressed shock that such a situation exists. “I think if the governor gets behind this, they can get it through,” Mizell said. Mizell said he moved in 2009

That legislation could extend the exemption to special tax assessments, he said. to Port St. Lucie from Broward County. Although taxes were lower in the Oakland Park area, he said, he found a handicapped accessible house more affordable in this area. But the taxes he owes in Port St. Lucie offsets some of that advantage, he said. He says he doesn’t believe extending the exemption would hurt Port St. Lucie, at least as of 2012, less than 100 people out of a city with a population of more than 100,000 qualified for it. “If there are only 79 of them (people with the exemptions, why even bother (to seek the tax from them). What do you make their lives so miserable for such a small amount of money.” Ultimately, Mizell said, he doesn’t know whether he’ll be successful in his campaign to get the exemption extended. “If it fails, at least I can say I tried,” he said.

CHURCH from page A1 Christ Fellowship paid $13 million for Tradition Studios — far less than the city hoped to get for the defunct Digital Domain facility. In press releases, the church claims about 21,000 weekly attendees among its facilities, which span from Palm Beach County westward to Okeechobee. The church, which isn’t affiliated with any denomination, also has a location in New York City. In 2014 it opened a campus at a 130,000-square-foot facility at the Boynton Beach Mall. Whitt said a few churches have tried to establish themselves in Tradition, but lacked the resources needed. “Tradition is an example of a population is growing, but church growth is not,” he said. Whitt added, “Tradition is a difficult to plant a church in, because of the expense of property.” Whitt’s church, Sunlight, opened a 730-seat sanctuary on Southwest Cashmere Road in October. The older facility seated about 200. The church is growing. It has about 800 regular attendees. Russ Jones is pastor of Palm City’s Faith Family Fellowship and the district presbyter for the World Assemblies of God Fellowship. He helps about 25 Assemblies of God churches in and near Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee and Palm Beach counties. Jones said the churches in his area, Section 15, range from about 40 to 4,000 regular attendees. Faith Family has been around about 65 years and has about 120 members, but Jones said it’s facing extinction even as Christ Fellowship is growing just a few miles away in Stuart. “(Faith Family Church needs) to grow, or we know that in the next five to 10 years we’ll cease to
exist,” Jones said. Growing in a shrinking market Christ Fellowship’s growth into the Treasure Coast is striking for a couple reasons. Primarily, Americans just aren’t going to church like before. According to the Barna Group, a Christian demographic research firm, the number of Americans who attend religious services at least monthly has dropped from about 70 percent 25 years ago to less than 60 percent now. The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life released a report in 2012 titled, “‘Nones’ on the Rise: Onein-Five Adults Have No Religious Affiliation.” “In the last five years alone, the unaffiliated have increased from just over 15 percent to just under 20 percent of all U.S. adults,” the report reads. “Their ranks now include more than 13 million self-described atheists and agnostics (nearly 6 percent of the U.S. public), as well as nearly 33 million people who say they have no particular religious affiliation (14 percent).” In April Barn a released a report claiming that at any moment about 40 percent of Americans haven’t been to a church for reasons other than holidays or events such as marriages for more than six months. In that report Barna listed the West Palm Beach to Fort Pierce area as the most “never-churched” area in the nation. It claims about 17 percent of the people living in the three counties — St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach — have never regularly attended church. San Francisco took top spot for the having the largest population of folks who don’t go to church anymore. Jones said even as his church is

Recently, the FDA issued a Public Health Advisory linking this type of drug to diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition which can result in organ failure and death. FDA Reports have linked this drug to kidney failure and early clinical trial data show an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in Invokana patients.

ST. LUCIE WEST — Utility rates for the St. Lucie West Services District haven’t increased since 2010, and they’re not going to this fiscal year, October to September. “Water and sewer rates have not changed since October, 2010,” Dennis Pickle, manager and utilities director, said. At its last regular meeting on Sept. 1, the Board of Supervisors adopted the 2015-2016 budget and rates. The board unanimously adopted a combined $11 mil-
lion budget. The service district handles water, irrigation and sewer. The district doesn’t tax, but does have two special assessments on property tax bills. One of the special assessments is paying off an infrastructure bond. It’s $186 a year, and will be paid off after this year. There’s also a $111 storm-water assessment. That’s staying the same this coming fiscal year. A couple St. Lucie West communities have special assessments that are paying off bonds for previous work done in them. Additionally, there is a $153 storm-water fee on proper-

Pickle said that he’s reluctant to suggest that the board raise rates, but next year it’ll probably be necessary. “I’d love to lower the rates,” he said. “But if you look over the last six years and the cost of living went up and our rates did not, that to me is lowering rates. I’m a resident here and I pay the rates. I’d love to lower the rates.” The next regular meeting will be on Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 9 a.m. There’ll be a workshop the day before at the same time.

Trial delay denied to Eriese Tisdale in SLC deputy shooting info@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Days after Port St. Lucie’s Holy Family Catholic Church hosted its annual Blue Mass honoring local first responders, including members of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, the judge in Eriese Tisdale’s trial for slaying Sgt. Gary Morales refused a defense request to delay it. Tisdale is accused of gunning down the lawman in Fort Pierce after a traffic stop on Feb. 28, 2013. Investigators claim Tisdale got out of his vehicle and shot Morales in his car. Tisdale claims the shooting was self-defense, because Morales approached him aggressively. If Tisdale is convicted of first-degree murder, he
could face the death penalty. More than 250 potential jurors appeared at Circuit Judge Dan Vaughn’s Eriese Tisdale courtroom on Sept. 15 to start selection to get the trial under way. The trial will likely last several weeks. Morales, 35, was an Air Force and 13-year Sheriff’s Office veteran. The Bronx native was promoted to sergeant about a month before the shooting. He left behind two children. Tisdale was an aspiring rapper, who went by the stage name “Prince Guru.”

Jewelia gives a Taste of Tradition Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER
pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com
TRADITION — Jeannette Weiss will wear Jewelia in October to raise money for HANDS, Health Access Network Delivery System, is an organization that provides primary healthcare services and access to healthcare for uninsured adult residents of St. Lucie County. “On Oct. 29, from 6 to 8:30 (p.m.), I’m going to host the Taste of Tradition,” she said. At press time Weiss is lining up commitments from restaurants in Tradition to join in the fundraiser. Participants will pay $40 to dine at any they choose. “Then we’ll meet in the street in front of (Enoteca by Evo) and have a good time,” Weiss said. That restaurant is at 10472 S.W. Village Center Dr. So, what’s Jewelia have to do with that? After all, Jewelia is a $12,500 necklace created by jeweler Greg Alan Childress, owner of G. Alan Fine Jewelry & Coin in Fort Pierce. Well, there’s an interesting story. Earlier this year, Sydney Leibman, director of fund development at HANDS, called Weiss, Theora “Bunny” Webb, who lives at PGA Village, and other women to a meeting. She had an interesting offer. The women could wear Jewelia for a month each, but they had to

Selling your home can be a complex task so it’s important to choose the right real estate professional.
commit to raising at least $1,000 each during that time. “The Necklace: Thirteen Women and the Experiment That Transformed Their Lives,” by Cheryl Jarvis, inspired the idea. Most of the women didn’t know each other. Webb said few, if any, had read the book. “Not everyone got their heads around it at first,” she said. “The Necklace” is the true story about a California woman who got 12 others to go in with her on purchasing a $37,000 necklace on the agreement they’d share it. The experience changed all of their lives and inspired them to give more. “We got a basket with the book in it, and we all went home and read it,” Weiss said. Weiss said she was immediately sold. She believes in the mission of the primary-care clinic that helps those without, or without adequate, insurance. Weiss is vice president of the Rosanne Gregory Cancer Foundation and a board member of Friends in Pink. She said that about 70 percent of HANDS’ patients were referred to it for cancer-related conditions. Webb wore Jewelia in May. She hosted a small dinner party and raised more than $4,000. More importantly, Webb said the
dinner party was an opportunity to describe to close friends why HANDS is so important to the community. “I think (inadequate access to healthcare) is a community problem, and all of the community has a stake in it,” she said. Webb is a member of the Martin Health Foundation’s board of directors. She said that helps her understand the need to deliver primary healthcare to those who can’t afford it. Both women said the Jewelia Project has been a remarkable experience. The participating women meet monthly when Jewelia goes from one to another. “You have to understand that the Jewelia concept is a wonderful way to bring women together to be friends,” Webb said. Weiss echoed her. “Since I’ve met them, there’s a bond,” she said. “We’re all working toward the same thing and have HANDS in our hearts.” Weiss said she’ll post details about Taste of Tradition on Facebook in coming weeks. She said people can buy tickets now by calling her at (772) 380-2225, or Leibman at HANDS office.

CHURCH from page A11 looking for ways to attract those who’ve never attended church, or quit going, he’s pleased Christ Fellowship is growing rapidly, even if it’s largely attracting existing churchgoers. That, he said, gives Christ Fellowship evangelism resources smaller churches can’t rival. “(Evangelical churches) still haven’t made a dent in South Florida,” Jones said. “People go to hell faster from South Florida than any other place (in America).” About a third of Faith Family’s members live in Port St. Lucie.
Another Port St. Lucie Church is also rapidly growing despite the bleak statistics about church attendance: Sunrise Baptist Church. Pastor Jace Walker said the church started with about eight attendees in May, 2013. Last May it moved into a 5,000-square-foot facility on Southeast Westmorland Boulevard. The church has about 60 members now. Walker said he’s cautiously excited to see Christ Fellowship move into the same field even as he tries to grow his church. “I don’t know that much about their ministry; I haven’t gone to
their services,” he said. Walker’s reservations revolve more around Christ Fellowship’s doctrinal positions than its size. However, he said what he’s been able to learn about the church’s doctrinal positions is reassuring. Where are the members coming from? If there are fewer people going to church, and the Treasure Coast has the largest population of folks who’ve never gone to one, where are growing churches getting members? Jones said nationally only about three out
of 20 churches are growing. The rest are stagnated or declining. He said those that are declining are often feeding other churches new members. “Out of the three that are growing, two are growing from transfer growth,” he said. “One out of twenty is growing out of new converts.” Whitt said Port St. Lucie may buck that national trend. He said the city has less than half of the churches of the national average for its population. The generally accepted number is that there

Peripheral Neuropathy WARNING! The treatment that is provided at The Neuropathy Relief Center has three main goals:
As you can see in Figure 1: When these very small blood vesFigure 1, as the blood sels become diseased they begin to shrivel up vessels that surround the and the nerves begin to degenerate nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not receive the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms. The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs.These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects. The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Port St Lucie that offers you new hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy three factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
3
How much treatment will your condition require?
Don’t Hesitate to Act Now! Peripheral Neuropathy is a progressive condition and once you have sustained 85% nerve loss, there is likely nothing we can do for you.
Dr. John Silva D.C. The Neuropathy Relief Center
1
Increase blood flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain-based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blood flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.
Figure 2
Figure 2: The blood vessels will grow back around the nerves much like a tree’s roots grow when watered.
The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage there is hope! Dr. John Silva D.C. at The Neuropathy Relief Center will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $70. This neuropathy severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing, and a detailed analysis of the findings of your neuropathy.
451 SW Bethany Drive, Suite 200 Port St. Lucie (In The Medical Imaging Building)
Dr Silva will be offering this neuropathy severity examination to the first 12 callers. Call 772.429.8800 to make an appointment with Dr. Silva to determine if your peripheral neuropathy can be treated.

Peripheral Neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which will cause the nerves to begin to slowly degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

protecting vegetation and dunes, providing nesting and foraging habitat for sea turtles and shorebirds, helping to ensure continued tourism revenue and protecting culturally and historically significant resources. Hutchinson said that an alternative to taking sand from this area to Miami-Dade would be to get sand from the Bahamas. But, the Corps pointed out that federal law prohibits that unless
there is no domestic source of the sand. Hutchinson questioned whether a waiver could be sought to allow sand from the Bahamas. This isn’t the first time that a proposal was made to transport sand from near St. Lucie County to Miami-Dade. Around 2004, a similar proposal was made. St. Lucie County objected and “We were able to get them to go elsewhere (for the sand),” Hutchinson said.

are about 11 churches for every 10,000 people. Whitt said Port St. Lucie has fewer than five for every 10,000. That number drops west of the Ronald Reagan Turnpike into St. Lucie West and Tradition, Whitt said. “We’re under-churched,” Whitt said. “We have the stats to back that up.” Jones said Christ Fellowship is tapping a cultural norm seen in everything from the growth of ever larger retail stores to ever bigger churches. He said smaller churches losing members to larger ones, and larger ones are losing members to mega-churches. In general, churches with fewer than 150 are counted as
small. Those with 5,000 or more as mega. “Their approach is bigger is better,” he said. “That’s our culture.” But, “It can be sometimes disheartening and frustrating for middle and smaller churches.” Nevertheless, Jones, too, said the tri-county area has too few churches, and any growth can be seen as positive. “Even if you filled every church to capacity in this area and did it twice every Sunday, we still have 860,000 people out there who couldn’t go,” he said. A spokeswoman for Christ Fellowship said the church’s ministerial team was eager to contribute to the story, but none were available by press time.

Celebrating the Glory Days of rock and folk music FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
TREASURE COAST — When it comes to music, Vero Beach has blossomed into a musical mecca. Visit any restaurant or lounge and patrons will enjoy a wide array of music playing many evenings ...not to mention street parties, theatres and other venues now featuring musical acts. Missing from the scene has long been a concert venue featuring professional, well-known musical talent. The Masters of Music on The Emerson Center’s stage has changed that. Great music...close to home, with no traffic, convenient parking and great musical acoustics, allows audiences to sit back, relax and simply enjoy! When MusicWorks, Inc. and Paris Productions brought Judy Collins to The Emerson Center stage in the spring of 2013, it was a test run to see how well received a concert would be in this venue. That success launched a three-part Masters of Music series at The Emerson Center during 2014-2015. It showcased musical performances by Livingston Taylor, John Sebastian and the duo of Janis Ian and Tom Paxton at a venue considered to have some of the best musical acoustics in Vero Beach. The production team of concert promoter Rusty Young, in partnership with Beverly and Martin Paris, has now announced a new season of musical performers… one that is highly diversified mixed with a walk down memory lane. Solo pianist and Grammy award winner George Winston will be featured as a special presentation, on Friday, Nov. 20, 7 p.m. This concert, sponsored by

newest solo piano album, Spring Carousel — A Cancer Research Benefit. Since this is the kick-off of the holiday season, all attendees are invited to bring a non-perishable canned food donation to the concert for The Food Pantry of Indian River County’s collection area in the main lobby. Additionally, Mr. Winston donates his merchandise to be sold by the Food Pantry who will ultimately retain 100percent of the profits of those sales. Complimentary champagne will be offered to all attendees. Folksinger Peter Yarrow will kick off the three-part Masters of Music Series on Wednesday, January 13, 7 p.m., retaining the legacy of Peter, Paul & Mary, and carrying on the trio’s tradition. Co-sponsored by Indian River Magazine and East Coast Lumber, a Peter Yarrow performance assures a memorable evening of music, camaraderie and “Puff’s special magic” for everyone, young and old alike. Peter’s music and songs resonate with a history that he and his musical compatriots, Paul and Mary, not only helped to write, but one that has changed and inspired millions to continue to keep on keepin’ on, hold firm to principle, and not be deterred in the face of adversity. Something special occurs when Peter famously brings an audience together in song, creating a caring community in a way that
only folksingers can. A Coffee Bar, compliments of Einstein Bagels, will be served. Following on Thursday evening, Feb. 11, 7 p.m. is The McCartney Years, sponsored by New Vision Eye Center, where audiences will experience three decades of “The Beatles” and “Wings” live – with the world’s premier McCartney concert experience. Rewind into the 60’s and 70’s to dance, sing and relive the passion for McCartney with a band that has opened for Mariah Carey, performed sold-out shows across Canada and been featured on CNN, CBC and CTV. Without leaving their seat, patrons can expect to move to the music, while being whisked away through time from the Beatlemania craze creatively woven into a familiar musical mosaic from songs that include Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, and songs from McCartney’s utterly amazing post Beatles career. Sid Bernstein, responsible for bringing The Beatles to the United States said, “this is the most astounding and accurate vocal representation I have heard in many years. The McCartney Years will mesmerize the audience.” Closing the series on Friday, March 4 at 7 p.m. are the musical legends… The Kingston Trio, sponsored by ABC Printing.

just from those who remember The Kingston Trio…all people want is for them to sing a song, tell a story, and make it sound great. The Kingston Trio was the number one vocal group in the world, a musical and cultural phenomenon whose record sales and concert draws were matched only by The Beatles. The group has collected two Grammy awards and numerous gold records. They have appeared on countless variety shows and performed at some of the most famous venues in the country. Their trademark three-part harmony and clean, crisp sound keeps them touring 30 weeks out of the year. The Kingston Trio today consists of George Grove, Bill Zorn and Rick Dougherty. The Trio’s busy touring schedule has resulted in an increasing number of new fans, both young and old. A Coffee Bar, compliments of Einstein Bagels, will be served.

St. Lucie Met’s season roundup Tanner Chauvin
FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST — The St. Lucie Mets’ season came to an end on Sunday, with a 6-2 home loss to the Bradenton Marauders. With the loss, the hometown Mets finished with a record of 68-70 and failed to make the playoffs. In a season that wouldn’t typically be viewed as a success, St. Lucie was able to find a few bright spots that point to good things to come in the future. Perhaps the most exciting of these bright spots, was the performance of first-baseman Dominic Smith. The Mets’ No. 6 prospect (No. 99 overall MLB prospect) was named the Florida State League Player of the Year on Thursday after having an absolutely stellar season. The 2013 first round draft pick flashed
MLB talent while producing a .305 batting average, accompanied by a league leading 79 RBI and 33 doubles. Along with Smith, St. Lucie produced two more FSL All-Stars in Matt Oberste and Jeff McNeil. Oberste, like Smith, was drafted in 2013 and ended 2015 as one of the league leaders in a number of batting categories. McNeil, having produced some of the best numbers in the FSL, earned the starting nod as the second baseman in the All-Star game. With 112 games under his belt in St. Lucie, McNeil was promoted to Double-A on Thursday and will continue his career with Binghamton. 2015 has come and gone for the Mets, and now they will look to their young stars to carry them to future success. Stay tuned to Your Voice News & Views for exciting offseason updates regarding the St. Lucie Mets. St. Lucie Mets infielder Jeff McNeil watches the sign from the third base coach to round second and make it to third base during a game against the Jupiter Hammerheads earlier this season. McNeil was promoted to the Met’s AA leauge in Binghamton, N.Y.

YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER
New drama season offers variety STAFF WRITER
skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY – David Moberg, chair of the performing and visual arts department at Indian River State College, has seen many incoming classes. This year’s crop of drama students seems different. “I’m more excited about my new students than I’ve been in a long time,” he said. “They have a lot of experience and good GPAs. They’re really solid and I’m really getting excited. I have a bunch of new kids that seem bright and a core from the past years. I’m feeling really good going into the audition process.” First up, on Oct, 22-24, is “Frankenstein.” The play, by Victor Gialanella, is adapted from the Mary Shelley novel. It is part of a college-wide project, “One Book, One College,” that has students, faculty and staff from the entire college reading the book and participate in interdisciplinary activities. A medical or science class might bring up ethical questions such as cloning after reading the book. “We wanted to be part of it,” Moberg said. “I hope they want to come and see the stage adaptation. In terms of the plot, it adheres closely to the book. The characters are extremely close in their personalities and the things
they seem to want. In the part of the Creature, they’ve captured the humanity that makes us understand why he does what he does. It’s not just scary and stupid.” Moberg said that it is inevitable that he casts plays in his mind, but he loves the surprises that happen when students audition. Even with students he knows well, they sometimes turn out to be a better fit in a role that is unexpected. “This play is out of our comfort zone,” Moberg said. “There are multiple sets, special effects and technically it’s a little more than we usually do, even with the scenery. We’re trying to keep the focus on the people, the play and the plot, rather than trying to build a castle.” Moberg is a playwright and in 2009, he was honored with a fellowship from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival for the southeastern region. The award is given to a faulty member to recognize achievement as a teaching artist. One of his works, “Christmas Doesn’t Love Me Anymore,” will be presented Dec. 11-12 at the Wynne Black Box Theatre. “It’s a gentle kind of a Hallmark play,” he said. “It’s a little more violent. There are cops and robbers, but it’s definitely a Christmas play. It has a large cast and

Neil Zirconia, the ultimate faux diamond, to perform at Temple Beth El Israel FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS
ST. LUCIE WEST — Dolly Parton said, “It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world,” but for Neil Zirconia, singing like a Diamond is pure gold. On Saturday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m. Zirconia will bring his Tribute to Neil Diamond to Temple Beth El Israel. Diamond’s songs are about love and friendship, loneliness and joy, freedom and sorrow. People of all ages are touched by the power of his words and the beauty of his music. Zirconia, who calls himself “the ultimate faux diamond,” will be singing many of Neil Diamond’s favorite songs, including Sweet Caroline, I’m A Believer, Song Sung Blue, Cherry, Cherry, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Solitary Man and more. With his unique baritone voice and singing style that amazingly resembles Neil Diamond, Zirconia takes the audience down memory lane. He has perfected the emotion, excitement and the magic that
is Neil Diamond. The likeness is extraordinary. “It is so exciting to present to an audience an experience that brings back a special time and place in their lives,” says Zirconia. “It’s such a thrill to see how much Neil Diamond is loved, and an honor that I am able to recreate his wonderful music for them.” The Tribute to Neil Diamond is at Temple Beth El Israel, 551 SW Bethany Dr., Port St. Lucie. Tickets cost $25 per person and are available at the Temple office Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; 772336-2424. Refreshments will be served after the show. Only 300 tickets are available, with the deadline for ticket sales Oct. 2.

I think our audience will love it.” Tickets for IRSC drama productions are available at the McAlpin Fine Arts Center, 3209 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce.

She does everything possible to say “yes” when someone asks for her help. Congratulations to John Carroll’s Coach of the Year, Mr. Rico Rosado. Rico and Arleen have been happily married for 17 years. They have four children: Christian (23), Aaron (21), Ashely (16), and Daniel (13).

Congratulations to John Carroll’s Donor of the Year, K.R.K Enterprises, Inc. Kyle Kelly is the president at K.R.K Enterprises, Inc. and a JCHS alumnus. He is happily engaged to Melinda Simpson, who is also a John Carroll alumna. Kyle has a son, Sebastian (18), and a daughter, Karalynn (15), who is a sophomore at JCHS. Kyle has contributed to the Alumni Giving Campaign for many years, and he has been a Rams-level Sponsor of the football

TREASURE COAST — On October 24, 1989, the first child walked through the doors of what was originally referred to as “Hibiscus House”. The 12-bed emergency refuge provided a safe haven for children ages birth to 12-years old from the Treasure Coast, Okeechobee and Palm Beach County. Over the years, Hibiscus has responded to the unmet needs of abused children by increasing the Shelter’s bed capacity to 36-beds and providing additional programs including educational, medical and mental health services. Throughout the next decade, most people were not aware that the shelter was forced to turn away abused children due to lack of bed space. An incredible community outpouring of support helped to remedy this situation and build a much needed facility for abused teens. May, 2004, the Hibiscus Children’s Village in Vero Beach opened its doors. The Village provides long-term home environments for youth ages 13 to 17 years. The teens live in homes where they receive nurturing, love and encouragement in a family-like atmosphere, along with educational services and career preparation training. Since its inception in 1985, Hibiscus Children’s Center has provided over 250,000 nights of safety and has enriched the lives of hundreds of abused children through its many programs. Every day, Hibiscus continues to help children begin the recovery process that will provide a solid foundation for their continued growth and development into adulthood. Under the auspices of the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) and its regional administrator, Devereux Community Based Care of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast, Hibiscus Children’s Center serves children and families throughout the 19th
LaVaughn Tilton, Founder Circuit District - Martin, Indian River, St. Lucie and Okeechobee Counties. Unfortunately, the number of abused children needing protection and safe shelter is ongoing and growing. Due to this tragedy, Hibiscus’ 36-bed shelter in Jensen Beach is virtually always full. There are more abused children in need than the Shelter can accommodate. Sibling groups are given priority to keep the children together and help to lessen the trauma they have already endured. As a strong community partner, Hibiscus Children’s Center values the alliances and collaborations our community organizations provide in the fight against child abuse. Residential facilities such as Children’s Home Society — Wavecrest Shelter and the newly planned Guardians for New Futures - Sanctuary 4Kids, are important partners in protecting and caring for our Treasure Coast children. Working together, we are all making a difference for the children. Thank you to the many volunteers, supporters, and partner organizations who have helped Hibiscus Children’s Center save children’s lives for over three decades on the Treasure Coast. If you would like to learn more about our services or how to get involved, please visit us at HibiscusChildrensCenter.org.
