FORT PIERCE -- The St. Lucie Coun-ty Commission agreed April 17 to accept a ship confiscated by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for a new artificial reef on the condition that the community itself raise funds for its cleaning, preparation and sinking off the coast.

Commissioners voted 3-0 to accept the conditional donation, with Com-missioner Linda Bartz absent and Com-missioner Cathy Townsend abstaining due to a potential conflict of interest. County Attorney Dan McIntyre apolo-gized to the Board for having submitted the item for the agenda at the last min-ute on the approximately 180-foot M/V Voice-Bernadette due to a looming U.S. Customs deadline.

.St. Lucie County reminds residents, visitors to help

protect sea turtles

HUTCHINSON ISLAND - St. Lucie County’s Code Compliance staff encourages residents to keep our beaches sea-turtle friendly this summer.

Residents, businesses and visitors can help sea turtles by taking a few important steps:

· Reduce lighting - Light sources (from build-ings or flashlights) should not be visible from the beach or seaward of the primary dune between sunset and sunrise. This also includes walking down the beach with flashlights. Resi-dents walking on the beach at night should use the moonlight. If they feel the need to use a light, they should use special “sea-turtle-friend-ly” flashlights and only use them sparingly. Out-door retailers sell special “sea-turtle-friendly” flashlights for nighttime fishing or beach walks.

· Ensure sea turtles have a safe path to the ocean - Sand castles are fun to build, but can become deadly traps for sea turtle hatchlings. Be sure to flatten them and fill in any holes before leaving the beach, including holes dug by dogs at Walton Rocks Beach: St. Lucie County’s only dog-friendly beach, located at 6700 South Ocean Drive.

· Put your stuff away - Remove all unattend-ed beach furniture and other items from the beach at night. This ensures that hatchlings don’t get caught up on their way to the ocean and your possessions aren’t taken out to sea. Marine turtle adults and hatchlings have died from entanglement in beach furniture.

There are three species of marine turtles that nest on the Treasure Coast annually: Green, Loggerhead and Leatherback. All are listed as endangered or threatened species.

St. Lucie County takes marine turtle protec-tion seriously and was recently found to have one of the lowest hatchling disorientation rates in the state.

Please do not handle marine turtles, their hatchlings or their eggs. Disturbing marine tur-tles or their nests is a violation of State and Federal laws and carries criminal penalties. To report marine turtle nest poaching, hatchling disorientations, harassment or dead marine turtles, please call the Florida Fish and Wildlife hotline at 1-888-404-FWCC.

Information is available for residents and vis-itors with questions about marine turtle-related issues. The UF/IFAS St. Lucie County Exten-sion has general information and educational materials about marine turtles.

For additional information, visit the Extension Office’s website at http://stlucie.ifas.ufl.edu/seaturtle.html.

IRSC Camps offer a variety of summer experiences

From sports camps to tech camps, Indian River State College (IRSC) offers a broad vari-ety of fun, challenging, and educational sum-mer experiences for primary-, middle-, and high school-aged students on the Treasure Coast.

Children can explore cutting-edge technolo-gies, refine athletic skills, learn about career paths, and more as they work directly with IRSC coaches, faculty, and staff to develop key skills and explore their curiosities.

For a complete listing of available IRSC camps or to fill out camp registration forms, visit www.irsc.edu/summercamps. For more information, contact the Information Call Cen-ter at 1-866-792-4772.

ST LUCIE COUNTY – St. Lucie County Fire District Chief Nate Spera took over in early March, and since then he has been faced with a variety of challenges. With recent rains tamping down somewhat on fire danger in the county’s rural areas, the district still is faced with daily events that require constant monitoring and attention.

“We’re a unique organization – as an independent fire control district – the fire chief ’s job here almost is like a city manager or county administrator in that I respond directly to the elected authority and that’s a real challenge,” Chief Spera said. “It gives us the ability to kind of set our own course and plan our own destiny.”

Similar to Martin County, the SLCFD has to focus on waterways, residential areas, woodland areas and commer-cial zones. He said identifying high-risk areas is key and then mitigating risks to those areas first. There are “target hazards” such as chemical plants and high-occupancy build-ings, and his district has plans-of-attack for each one.

Chief Spera joined the fire service in 1984 as a volunteer firefighter for the City of Coral Springs. After meeting the Florida Professional Firefighter standards and becoming a Florida Certified Paramedic, he was employed by the St. Lucie County Fire District in 1991. During his tenure he has served as a firefighter paramedic, field training instructor, station officer, administrative officer, and chief officer in the Operations Division. 

“I just took it one rung at a time,” Chief Spera said. “It’s a great feeling because we have a great team here, and you almost feel like a player/coach in sports. I’m not afraid to step in directly and the men and women that work here are just top-notch and that makes the job easier.”

Interdepartmental partnerships – with the St. Lucie County Sheriff ’s Office and city services – mean that many personnel stand shoulder-to-shoulder with each other, and Chief Spera said the system works with fluidity. “We’re on a first-name basis and have a great relationship with all the

law-enforcement personnel,” he added.“With the Forestry Service, we provide a

coordinated attack and when they go there they try and wrap a line around a fire and it’s our job to keep the fire within that line,” Chief Spera said. “Under the best conditions, that works out pretty easily. But with wind – which is a major, driving factor – it’s harder to contain and requires a lot of coordination.”

The SLCFD recently wrapped up its hurri-cane-season training and the coordination with emergency services also is a tight-knit unit, with them working closely in the “war-room” during major storm events.

“It’s all about coordination, and I remember a specific event when we had twin storms in 2005 with a diabetic that was locked out of his area because of a curfew,” he said. “The sheriff ’s office gave this gentleman a ride to get to But-terfields to get insulin and there were four agen-cies to take care of one person … and that’s a constant theme.”

In other fire district news, Chief Spera recent-ly announced the promotion of Division Chief/Fire Marshal Derek Foxx to the rank of deputy chief. Dep. Chief Foxx will oversee the Fire Dis-trict Support Services departments and divi-sions. 

Dep. Chief Foxx has been with the fire dis-trict since 1990 and has most recently been responsible for the Fire Prevention Bureau, building and grounds and logistics. He is the first African-American to achieve executive level rank in the history of the fire district. 

Also, Captain Debbie Knupp will be taking over the duties of Fire Marshal. Captain Knupp began her career with the fire district in 1995 and has been part of the Fire Prevention Bureau team since 2005. She holds a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration and is certified as a firefighter, paramedic, fire inspector and a fire investigator. Captain

Knupp is the first female Fire Marshal in St. Lucie County history. 

“Chief Foxx and Captain Knupp have served the citizens of St. Lucie County with distinction throughout their careers. This advancement will solidify the fire district’s administration and ensure efficiency and effectiveness.” Chief Spera said.

For more information about the district, please visit https://www.slcfd.com/ or call 772-621-3400.

ST LUCIE COUNTY – Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission offi-cials recently were forced to go “on safari” – so to speak – in St. Lucie County when an African warthog was on the loose. It was eventually located and trapped in north Fort Pierce and was eventually euthanized.

Reports about the animal go all the way back to March 4, and the FWC set up traps in the area of Bellair Avenue in Lakewood Park. But it also was seen shortly thereafter near Brookline Avenue in Fort Pierce in a residential neighborhood. While the wart-hog wasn’t apparently dangerous to people and quite docile when receiving food, the danger of diseases led to the increased efforts to track the animal down and con-

tain it.FWC officer Bradley Toby sought out

licensed game farms, hunting preserves and personal pet owners in the area, and the Captive Wildlife Headquarters looked into whether anybody had a personal license for the animal. All the searches resulted in no information as to how the warthog might have ended up in the area.

Then, on March 8, FWC officials were finally able to catch up with the creature, although it initially escaped the trap even with the door closed after eating all the food inside. It was eventually caught using a hand-held rope snare. Mr. Toby received cuts to his legs during the trapping effort, but no treatment was required, and it only was euthanized to check it for any level of contagion.

Jobs for the disabledIn the April 13th Hometown News there

was a wonderful article about jobs for the disabled. I thank the EmployU organization for having the caring and the heart to help folks with disabilities find employment. Publix helps where they can and should be commended. The state of Florida has got to be one of the worst states in regard to com-panies making the attempt to employ the disabled. Ironically, even Government fund-ed agencies like veterans clinics shake off disabled employees. Bad for the profit line I guess. Florida is a Right to Work state and unfortunately with it comes the right to fire, cause or no cause. Kudos to the people of EmployU and their participating businesses like Publix and others.

Proper perspectiveWalking along the shoreline one recent

sunny morning, I noticed out of nowhere a flock of pelicans flying toward me.

From every which way, all 48 of them formed a single file line. They swooped down just above arm's length while gliding silently over my head, and then quickly cur-ley-cued around and about as they flew out of sight over the horizon.

Striking me as a serene way to get from one place to another, I thought how oppo-site the agitated approach of humans to the annoying inconveniences of highway con-gestion. Rather than aggravated to the point of road rage by way of standstill traffic, how much better to follow the laid back live-and-let-live example of no nonsense pelicans.

Cooperating with one another despite the awkwardness of heavy nine-foot wing spans, long yellow pointed beaks and large throat pouches, they travel in friendly flocks stop-ping only long enough to fish and/or pains-takingly give birth to and tend to their beloved offspring. Jeopardized constantly by

poisons, pollutants, and parasites, they patiently cope with all that they must in order to make the very most of the beachside they possibly can.

Just say no, thanksIt's easy and to the point! Many grocery

stores have times when the cashiers ask for donations for different causes. So many times I hear a customer say "I gave yester-day" (when it just started that day), "I gave at a different store," "I give back home" (snow-birds) and "I only give to 'so and so cause.'" I have heard a few say "I'm good."

Who cares about the reason? I myself just say no thanks and leave it at that. By the way, I actually sleep quite fine.

Don't record meFPL needs to have real people on the

phones.

Keep your hand on your purseI see so many with their backs turned,

looking at something and their purse behind them in the cart.

I like to think I'm quite aware of my sur-roundings. I place my hand on the top of my purse when I am looking at something on a shelf. Guess I'm just too paranoid and don't trust many.

Clear addresses neededWouldn't it be nice if all city, county and

states officials/law makers, would imple-ment an ordinance/law requiring all busi-nesses or business complexes to display their addresses prominently on their signs at the roadway.

I would like to see large number address-

es as a requirement on all business signs to make it easier to find the address you are looking for. It would make it easier on driv-ers of every age and also those who are mak-ing deliveries, as well as possibly prevent vehicle accidents.

Beachgoers, please follow some simple rules

Most people go to the beach for it’s peace, tranquility and a beautiful view. Please con-sider these simple rules while choosing your location to sit.

Allow at least 10-15 feet in any direction between you and the closest person next to you. Spread out.

If you have children, try to move to a more secluded spot or nearer to the water. Not everyone loves your children screaming or wants sand kicked up.

If you have a tent or umbrella, be mindful of other peoples' view. They were there first. Don’t block their view of the ocean.

Don’t sit directly in front of another party. Try to find an angle so they still have a view

of the ocean.If you arrive later, walk a little farther

down to the so others can enjoy it also.We have many miles of beach. Give every-

one a little room, so we can all enjoy it.

Some natural herbs, spices have side effects

I will not discuss the wisdom of discon-tinuing prescription pills without seeking a doctor's prior approval.

Do not assume that natural herbs and spices do not have any toxic side effects. I subscribe to to the US FDA Safety Alert sys-tem and have seen numerous alerts related to spices such as pepper and turmeric, for bacterial contamination.

Ginger, when sold in California, has to carry a Proposition 65 warning because it contains high levels of lead.

Whether these toxins in natural herbs and spices, effect the long term health of the writer, will depend on the condition of that person's immune system.

Marine Services, Inc., who gave the latter an estimate of $149,000 for the cleanup, tow-ing, preparation and sinking of the ship for the county’s artificial reef program. U.S. Customs itself with contribute $37,000 towards the deal, but the county would have to find another way to pay the cost if enough donations don’t come in.

“The issue really is economics,” Mr. McIn-tyre added. “We believe that the costs will be offset 100 percent through donations from the community. In the event that the county for whatever reason couldn’t come up with the funds by Oct. 1, McCulley would look to other areas to deploy the vessel. We believe it’s a good opportunity, and we believe we’ll get the donations.”

Mr. Oppenborn said he loathed asking the Commission for funding but believes the proposed artificial reef would provide additional economic stimulus to the local fishing and diving industries.

“I’ve gone about this process very, very cautiously, and I have a lot of trepidation about coming here,” he said. “This is some-thing I don’t approach lightly. I’m no econo-mist, but I can tell you the benefit to the fisheries offshore and the fisheries inshore, which are very intricately connected.”

Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky asked Mr. Oppenborn about the success of the Tug Lesley Lee that the county sank as an artifi-cial reef in 2007. The latter said by 2008 con-sultants hired by the county made a rare dis-covery at the site.

“They found a small branch of oculina coral growing, and the second year they found that the coral had actually increased in size,” he said. “These are rates unheard of on the Oculina Banks slightly north of St. Lucie County. The Oculina Banks are deep water coral that became somewhat impact-ed by bottom shrimp trawling. So we’re try-ing to find a way to focus efforts on how to restore these oculina coral reefs to the Trea-sure Coast.”

For his part, Commissioner Anthony Bonna asked Mr. Oppenborn for assurance that the county wouldn’t end up on the hook for the balance of the cost for the new artifi-cial reef. “I’m very much in favor of the proj-ect already,” the former said. “It was my understanding that your position is that if we’re unable to raise the funds, that you’d

recommend going in a different direction and not coming back for General Reserves. Is that correct?”

“That is correct,” Mr. Oppenborn replied. “I can raise the money to clean it. This is something that my advisory committee has wanted for the last 13 years I’ve been here. Anything larger would cost maybe millions of dollars, but this [vessel] between 100 and 200 feet is the perfect size and the perfect opportunity for the county.”

Commission Chairwoman Frannie Hutchinson admitted that “the funding and the funding source” was the primary issue for her. The agenda item stated the county’s artificial reef program still has a balance of $50,367 in reserves that could potentially be used for the project.

“I would like to suggest that we move for-ward with this because there’s already been a good start to fundraising,” she said. “This community has been very supportive in the past, and I feel very certain it will be sup-portive in the future of these types of proj-ects, especially when it brings in tourist dol-lars for the fishing industry.”

One thing she insisted on in the process, however, was transparency by those involved in the project.

“If you see that we are coming up short, I would like it to come back to the Board no matter what so the Board is aware of what’s going on,” Chairwoman Hutchinson added. “Maybe we would be in a position to reach out, but also to make a decision whether or not to continue forward and where the funding may need to come from if neces-sary.”

Commissioner Dzadovsky said he would himself actively participate in fundraising activities and submitted a dozen letters of support he had recently received from area residents.

“There are 12 email letters and notes from the public supporting it, including members of the Port St. Lucie Anglers Club who’ve been a part of the county for 28 years,” he said.

Commissioner Dzadovsky then made the motion to accept the vessel donation on the condition a formal request be made to McCulley Marine Services to attempt to deploy the vessel in another community if St. Lucie County is unable to raise sufficient funds for the completion of the project. Commissioner Bonna seconded, the motion, which passed 3-0.

Hometown News – FORT PIERCE – www.HometownNewsSLC.com Friday, April 27, 2018 9

Ms. Woodruff could not offer him the clarification he desired.

“I do not know, and there is no appeals process,” she responded. “It’s like the Com-munity Development Block Grant; you get a letter that tells you how much you’re going to get.”

City Manager Nick Mimms then offered additional information he said came from St. Lucie County Legislative Affairs Manag-er Nicole Fogarty.

“We had a brief update, and she talked about how some of this funding was going to be reduced due to other state initiatives,” he said. “So the State of Florida sets the bud-get, and the governor ultimately approves that budget. Whatever he inks his name to, that is what we are assigned.”

Under the city’s final year of its current three-year program, at least 33 homeowners are currently receiving various levels of rehabilitation assistance. Ms. Woodruff said April 23 that the reduced funding projected through 2019 will particularly affect the $20,000 she had originally budgeted for administrative overhead.

“Administrative funding for the SHIP program is limited to 5 percent of the amount the state provides and 10 percent of any program income,” she explained. “This means $3,650 will be available from the $73,000 received from the state for program year 2018 and approximately $2,900 will be

available from the projected $29,000 in pro-gram income we expect to receive next year.”

Even say, the grants manager said she still has enough funding left over from previous years to not affect rehab projects scheduled through this year.

“We do not expect that this decrease will significantly limit the amount of owner-oc-cupied home rehabilitation we can provide next year because we will be expending funding from previous years throughout the next program year,” Ms. Woodruff empha-sized. “However, continuing to receive a small amount could significantly limit the amount of owner-occupied home rehabili-tation we can provide beginning in program year 2019.”

As part of the SHIP program restrictions, homeowners who sell their homes before a certain length of time must repay the city for the funding assistance out of the sale of the proceeds. Commissioner Thomas Perona asks Ms. Woodruff to clarify if those funds returned to the program to help other

homeowners.“Absolutely,” she replied. Commissioner Perona saw that as a posi-

tive note in spite of the bad news.“It’s something that we constantly need to

remind ourselves because that can assist other people,” he said.

Even with the much higher funding over the past three years, Commissioner Rufus Alexander said he’d fielded several com-plaints about homeowners unable to attain services under the current plan

“I have a lot of people telling me that they call or come down, and it’s always there’s no money and there’s a waiting list,” he said.

Ms. Woodruff instead described it as a “call-back list.”

“When people call, we put their names and phone numbers on a list, and when we open it for application we call them and send them an application,” she explained. “We open this for applications for two whole months, and we brought in probably about 80 applications. We’re working on process-ing those now to verify the incomes and

everything. We’ve got 33 underway and we’ll probably have enough money from the sale of the mortgages to do about 40 rehabs, depending on how they come in. If we have over 40 approved, then they will be kept on file and as funding is available they will be rehabbed in the order that we approve them.”

Prior to receiving news about the funding reduction, Ms. Woodruff reminded com-missioners that they had previously approved an increase in the amount of rehab assistance available to low- and moder-ate-income homeowners.

“When we came to you on Aug. 21, 2017, you all approved a technical amendment to the housing plan, and that’s the first strategy, which is on our occupied housing repair/rehabilitation,” she said. “In August, we increased that from $20,000 per home to $35,000.”

The Commission subsequently voted 5-0 to approve the adoption of the next three-year program and submit it to the state for review.

I have always been one to enjoy a car ride and a round of golf. Cruising a bit up the interstate to play, doesn’t bother me a

bit. When the course sits just off the interstate, and is a fine track, all the better. Duran Golf Club, in Viera, just off I-95 is just that track.

General Manager David Tomczak and his friendly staff know how important it is to set the right vibe for a round of golf. My tee time allowed me to sleep in a bit, drop the family off with relatives and still get to the course in time.

While I felt quite special, I realized this kind of treatment is what the locals have come to enjoy every time they play Duran.

When I arrived at Duran, the first thing that jumped out at us was the beautiful, lush green of the place. Throw in some early sprouting flowers and the look of the place had me relaxed and ready to take on the course.

Duran Golf Club, completed in 2005, features five sets of tees, with the longest playing to 7,151 yards. A very stern test considering how much wind blows through the fairways. The less accomplished players or those looking to enjoy a fun round, can easily find a set of tees to match their skill or mood for the day.

The course also has a full dining room, with a fantastic menu complete with specials. In fact, had I not had other commitments, I would have stayed and enjoyed a great meal.

Also on property is the Duran Academy of Golf, a comprehensive instructional and coaching program dedicated to golfers that

are passionate about getting the most out of their golf game. The full time staff of PGA Instructors offer one-on-one individual lessons and group sessions to clinics, multi-day golf schools, and high tech video swing analysis.

The course was designed by Lewis “Chip” Powell. His keen eye for manipulating an area’s natural weather patterns and wind tendencies made him the perfect choice to design features that considered the wide-open spaces found here, along with the varying coastal winds of the Florida’s east coast. The combination resulted in holes that play with as much as a five-club difference from day to day.

To build a golf course on a piece of property this flat, and void of all but one tree at the start, requires moving and shaping more than a million cubic yards of earth. The result is a course with links characteristics, including rolling terrain, mounded greens that will challenge the best of putters and over a dozen sparkling ponds.

The use of native grasses, the importa-tion of a several thousand oaks, cypress and native palms, gives the course tremendous character. Couple this with being built on what was once a sod farm, providing soil

that produces lush conditions and it’s easy to see why the course has won its share of awards and accolades.

The course starts you off on the right foot, a pleasant par-5 with no surprises. I even began my day with a birdie. The third is home to the only tree standing when construction began. The lone palm stands guard on a small peninsula that juts out into the lake warning golfers of the danger lurking behind.

On your way around the course you are greeted with a pleasurable playing experi-ence. Choosing the proper set of tees gives one just enough challenge. I used most of the clubs in my bag and quickly figured out that the wind needed to be taken into account on every shot.

The wind and the variety in the design make club selection challenging. Depend-ing on the wind, you may have to hit a 6-iron from 140-yards on one hole, and a 9-iron from the same distance on the next. The homes around the course are beautiful, and set well back from the course, not really interfering with play.

The closing hole is a great one. The par-4

is a soft dog-lag left that bends along the water all down its left side. Depending on how daring your drive is, you can find your approach requiring anything from a mid-iron to a fairway wood.

Rates at Duran Golf Club are very competitive, with Florida residents enjoying a discount. The course is located at 7032 Stadium Parkway, Viera, FL 32940. For more information, or to make a tee time, visit the website at www.durangolf.com or call (321) 504-7776.

Taste of the Islands floats into Civic Center May 6

PORT ST LUCIE – Spring has officially sprung, and the Taste of the Islands, set for Sunday, May 6 at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center, is a great way to experience Caribbe-an culture all in one go. The event – now in its third year – will last from noon to 10 p.m. that day and will be packed with food, fun and entertainment.

“We try to bring authentic food for everybody, and try to give back to the community,” said Sophia Dawes, who is the event creator and organization. “This year, we will be giving some of the proceeds to Meals on Wheels.

“It is growing in popularity, and when we started in 2016 the out-come was awesome and seeing the vendors we had last year we had a huge difference.”

Taste of The Islands was devel-oped so attendees, whether they are Caribbean or non-Caribbean natives of Florida, could enjoy the many dishes, beverages, spices and culture of “The Islands,” according to a press release.

“People can get a bite to eat and listen to music,” Ms. Dawes said. “The band is Sweet Justice out of

West Palm Beach, and we are expecting well-over 1,000 people. We also will be having a company streaming it live online the day of the event and that will be on our website.”

The event will feature live enter-tainment by the top-flight Carib-bean deejays, who will be spinning the best reggae, soca, reggaeton and Kompa music, and there also will be a live steel pan band on hand for the crowd’s enjoyment. Among the deejays in attendance will be Sensation Sound, alongside DeeJ Sonny, BobbySox Mvmts and Renegade.

“People like the live band, because they love the Caribbean flavor of the music, so when they know that there will be live reggae music they come out and experi-ence it,” Ms. Dawes said. “We will have people from Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas onboard.”

In addition, there will be a “Kid-Zone,” a domino tournament and numerous local artists who will be showcasing their talents during this free event.

For more information about the Taste of the Islands Festival, please visit http://psltasteoftheislands.com/ or call 772-485-7433 or 772-812-5038.
