The many angles of ObamaCareNicole RodriguezStAff Writer

[email protected]

TREASURE COAST — Oppo-nents of the hotly debated Afford-able Care Act, or “ObamaCare” as it’s most commonly called, say the new law, which requires all Americans to have health insur-ance by next year is unconstitu-tional. But whether the new law is legal or not, really depends on who you ask.“I’m very disappointed. If any-

body reads the Bill of Rights, it gives the right to pursue hap-piness, not give happiness or healthcare,” Bill Paterson, chair-man of the Republican Party of St. Lucie County said. “Making it mandatory for some-

body to purchase something is unconstitutional. Yes, making it mandatory for people to buy car insurance if they’re driving on our roads is constitutional. That last point is key. This president has trampled all over our Constitu-tion,” Paterson said.Nationwide sign up for afford-

able healthcare plans through the new marketplace began on Oct. 1 at HealthCare.gov. The site has been largely blacked out since

its launch because of technical difficulties.Paterson said the major glitches

and unavailability of the site are indicators of things to come.“It’s become a joke on the late

night shows,” Paterson said.State Rep. Larry Lee Jr., D-Port

St. Lucie, said the rollout hasn’t gone as smoothly as expected, but will eventually work out.“I think that some of the hiccups

should be expected,” Lee said. “This is something that’s never been done before, but we are a country that always rises to chal-lenges.”U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Ju-

piter said the website’s failure to launch has been discouraging.“I am extremely disappointed

with the technology. Congress should look into what happened and why. Needless to say, it should have never gotten to this and it is absolutely unaccept-able,” Murphy said in an emailed statement. “I will continue to press government officials to fix the website, and I believe the technology will be fixed.” “Look at the states that set up

their own exchanges: from Ore-gon to Kentucky to California, the rollout was much better,” Mur-

phy said. “If the issues are not quickly resolved, I would be open to working on a bipartisan basis to extend the open enrollment so more people can sign up.”Paterson believes a more viable

option to expand healthcare to all is opening up the industry by allowing Americans to shop for healthcare across state lines, es-sentially leaving the private sector in charge.“The federal government can’t

even run the post office, but UPS and FedEx are running without any problems,” Paterson said.Murphy said Paterson’s proposi-

tion could be a bit tricky.“I will work with anyone in any

party on common sense ideas to improve the health care system. Insurance (health, auto, home-owner’s) is mainly regulated at the state level,” he said. “Erasing those lines may sound like a good idea in theory, but if we did that, I would want protections in place to make sure that the South Dakota plan treats patients and doctors fairly in St. Lucie Coun-ty and that the Utah insurance commissioner has the ability to protect Indiantown consumers

Joe and Tammy grew up together in the small boarder town of Bluefield W. Va. a short hike and they would be in the small town of Bluefield Va. In the early days Tammy and Joe were inseparable, growing up in the same house with Joe always keep-ing a watchful eye on his younger niece, who was really more like a sister to him. Celebrat-ing birthdays and holidays together for many years. The two became like one, knowing what the other was thinking or about to say before they even said it. Joe would help Tammy with her school projects and Tammy would help Joe find his lost books or toys or help him wash his bike. They were a team then much like they are today. Now, Tammy helps Joe with most every aspect of the Hearing Center. Greeting the patients upon arrival with her sparkling personality, working with clients on the proper care and maintenance of their new hearing aids.

After 22 years in Law Enforcement Joe decided to refocus his career path. Joe knew he would need to be involved in helping people and searched for a new career that would allow him to move in that direction. Joe’s brother in law worked in the hearing healthcare field and after some considerable research Joe decided to move forward in the hearing healthcare field. After Joe completed his training and schooling he ended his highly decorated career in Law Enforcement and retired from the St. Lucie County Sheriff ’s Office. Joe was licensed in 2002 by the State of Florida as a Hearing Aid Specialist and opened his first practice in St. Lucie West in 2003 and today, continues to help people as he has done his entire professional career.

Tammy, in her career as a professional care giver, had seen far too many times the heartbreak of hearing loss. How the loss would impact not just the patient but the loved ones around them as well. Joe worked, went to school, studied and became a Florida State Licensed Hearing Aid Specialist. He knew that improving and restoring hearing to those in need would become his passion and his quest. He also knew that he could think of no one he would rather tackle this challenge with then his trusted best friend, Tammy. Today and for the past 11 years Joe and Tammy are giving back the gift of hearing to friends and neighbors from around the Treasure Coast.

Beer and wine a winner PALM CITY – Mark Carbone owned a restau-

rant in New York, but when he and his family moved to the Treasure Coast 25 years ago, he worked in sales for other people. Then he had the urge to work for himself again. He en-joyed craft beers and felt there was a place for them on the Treasure Coast.“I knew there was a market for craft beers,”

he said. “Nobody was serving it and it was hard to find. I was looking to fill that gap.”Carbone knew the craft beers would be good,

but he wanted more. He found a machine that could pull a taste or a glass of wine. It kept the wine fresh for weeks, something that had not been possible before. “It was unique enough to market with the

beers,” he said. Last year, Carbone and his wife, JoAnn,

opened Wine & Barley Palm City. They have a large variety of craft beers on tap and in bottles and a large selection of popular and boutique wines.“I have a lot of people come in and say they

don’t like beer,” Carbone said. “I give them a sample and they go, ‘Wow!’ “There are thou-sands of flavors. We’ll find one you like. I taste 95 percent of the wines and beer before I put them out for sale. It doesn’t mean I like every one. What I have to do is think about what my customers will like.”Vine & Barley Palm City is more than a

place to get drinks. “It’s a warm atmosphere,”

Carbone said. “It’s relaxed. We don’t have smoke, there are no 25-inch TVs or DJs. It’s just a nice place to go and relax. On the weekends, the energy is up. Instead of the blues, the music is more high energy, but it’s not a club or disco. It’s a nice place to come and have a conversation and enjoy yourself.”You can also eat. Carbone serves appetizers

like quesadillas, meat and cheese platters and desserts. They, in fact, things that go well with wine and beer. Carbone is not only a beer merchant and

brewer, he is a certified beer judge.“I’ve been a home brewer since 1998” he

said. “I was so fascinated by the flavors and how it was crafted that I kept delving deeper. I realized I had a pretty good palate and it might be good to take a course. I became a judge.”Now one of several judges

in the area, Carbone goes to home brew competi-tions. He said there are five categories in which beer is judged: appearance, aro-ma, flavor, mouth appeal and overall experience. “A lot of beers have failed

because there is a lot that can go wrong,” he said. “It can oxidize or get an in-fection. Yeast is a living organism. Things can go

wrong.”Often, Carbone opens Wine & Barley Palm

City for charity events. He is involved with the Beer Works Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that sponsors the annual Trea-sure Coast Beer Fest. This year’s event, the sixth annual festival, in on Nov. 16. All money raised after operating costs will go to Honor Flight, the Sgt. Gary Morales Family Fund and the Fort Piece Jazz & Blues Society. “It’s a great event,” Carbone said. “We usu-

ally have 1,500 people and over 200 brews to

Your Independent Local Community Newspaper

PALM CITY – On Mother’s Day this year, my beautiful 23-year-old niece, Melissa, was buried in Cleveland, Ohio. She died of an accidental heroin overdose after becoming addicted to medicine she was given for chronic pain. Her death has left a shattered family struggling to understand the inexplicable. Melissa suffered much of her

life with crippling headaches. No one could find an answer or end her pain. She was given many drugs and even had sur-gery. Nothing helped. She missed school and fell behind. Still, she volunteered with disabled kids and hoped to become a psychol-ogist. Finally, a doctor gave Melissa

oxycodone, to which she became addicted. She went to an out-pa-tient rehab facility. What hap-pened after that is unclear to me, 1,100 miles away, but somehow the path led her to heroin. No one in the family knew that until the autopsy report came in. To say that it made me physically ill is an understatement. I have tried to understand what

happened to Melissa. I recently spoke to Darcy Flierl, director of prevention at Tykes & Teens in Palm City. She is a certified addictions professional and a li-

censed clinical social worker. She also runs the NOPE Task Force. NOPE stands for Narcotics Over-dose Prevention & Education. I couldn’t have found a better resource. NOPE’s goal is to reach out to the community through education, prevention and sup-port.“We do school assemblies,” she

said. “We educate about the dangers of prescription drugs, combining drugs, accidental over-doses and underage drinking. In Martin County, we go to the high schools. We are also planning a community-wide presentation to middle school parents.”Flierl said that the program is an

emotional experience for every-one. “Students hear from parents

who have lost a child to a pre-scription drug overdose,” she said. “It’s from their mouths. They hear from our partners at the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, from officers trained to talk about what it’s like to take a 911 call. It’s multi-media and high-impact. The stage is lined with pictures of young people who have lost their lives.”Flierl said there are several mes-

sages for the audience.“The message is that a lot of

those children could have been saved,” she said. “Be a hero and tell someone. If you have a friend who’s struggling with drugs, tell someone. There’s a danger in combining drugs that aren’t pre-

Task force helps young peoplesay ‘Nope’ to drugs

scribed for you that can equate to an overdose. One time can kill. What happens is you do Xanax and a beer on Monday and you’re fine and you do it again the next Monday and overdose and die.” The program also emphasizes

the importance of calling for help. “Kids are partying together

and they think a friend is sleep-ing, when they’re dying,” she said. They’re afraid to get in trouble so they leave their friend, thinking they’ll get up in the morning and they never get up. The program encourages kids to call 911 and get help.” The message also targets par-

ents. “Parents need to stick together,”

she said. “If you learn of another child doing alcohol and drugs, tell their parents. Be the hero. Tell someone.” NOPE held a candlelight vigil

on Oct. 24 at Coastal Life Church in Palm City. Among the speakers was Rose Bonnie Bosley, whose daughter, Donielle, died of an overdose in 2001. She was pre-scribed pain medication after a car accident and this led to her battle with addiction. Flierl has seen these “accidental addicts” many times, but all who have struggled were be remembered. “It (was) to pay tribute to those

lives lost to drug and alcohol overdose, spread awareness and remove the stigma,” Flierl said. “How can we solve the problem if we can’t talk about it? People don’t understand that addicts are our children, our parents, our best friend, people we love. It crosses all socioeconomic bound-aries and doesn’t care if you’re black or white, rich or poor. Edu-cation is very, very important.” So is money.The Comprehensive Offender

Rehabilitation & Education pro-gram, or CORE, is a task force sponsor, but the group, part of a nationwide program, needs spon-sors and donors. Money helps to spread the word and present more programs that reach more kids.Talking with Darcy Flierl taught

me a lot. Writing this story has been difficult, as you can imag-ine. I only hope that Melissa’s death and our family’s tragedy, will save the life of someone’s child, brother, sister or friend. I don’t ever want her to be forgot-ten, a candle in the wind. She died alone, but I want her to know that she is not alone, that people do care.

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerSheriff William Snyder joined the candle-light vigil following his keynote speech at the Narcotics Overdose Prevention & Education (N.O.P.E.) National Candlelight Vigil Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Coastal Life Church in Palm City. The event was sponsored by Tykes & Teens and featured testimonials from parents who have lost their children and others that had lost their way to drug use.

Darcy Flierl of the NOPE Task Force said that certain behavioral changes in a child should make a parent look further. They include:

• Withdrawal• A new set of friends• Extreme changes in appetite and appearance• A drop in grades• There may be a number of explanations for the changes, but parents need to find out what’s going on.

Most were in their late teens and 20s. The ages were chilling. They showed when drug abuse and addiction ended lives. Danielle was 26. “Never once did she say, ‘Mom,

I want to grow up to be a drug addict,’” her mother, Rose Bos-ley, told about 50 gathered to remember neighbors, co-work-ers, friends and family members who’d died from drug-related causes. “But that’s what she did.” Bosley told Danielle’s too short

delegation advocating for these projects,” Murphy said.Main state projects included in

the legislation are water storage and retention improvements to the C-43 canal on Florida’s west coast, the Broward County Water Preserve Project, Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands Project and the C-111 Spreader Canal Project in Miami-Dade. Although none of the projects are located on the Treasure Coast, they will help, Murphy said.“They’re great projects even

though they’re not in Congressio-nal District 18,” Murphy said. “It helps move that water away and move it south where it was origi-nally intended to go.”Missing from the bill is funding

for CEPP, or the Central Ever-glades Planning Project. The project’s goal is to deliver, within two years, a finalized plan for a combination of restoration proj-ects in the central Everglades to prepare for congressional authori-zation as part of the Comprehen-sive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). The Central Everglades Planning Project is supposed to identify and plan for projects to allow more water to be diverted south to the central Everglades, according to the project’s website,

evergladesplan.org.An amendment added to the bill

last week will still allow for CEPP projects, Murphy said. It allows the South Florida Water Man-agement District to move forward with new projects and be paid back by the federal government, Murphy said.“Basically that’s a really big

win, because the South Florida Water Management District can now move forward with any new projects that they want,” Murphy said. “And what this did is pro-vide about $400 million worth of credits for the South Florida Wa-ter Management District for work they’ve already done for Central Everglades.”The Army Corps of Engineers

would have had to complete its annual Chief’s Report in order for CEPP to have been includ-ed in the bill. The report, which has been delayed because of the partial government shutdown, should be completed sometime early next year. The report will either give the green light or hit the brakes on vital projects that affect the Treasure Coast, includ-ing Herbert Hoover Dike improve-ments and construction improve-ments to the C-44 canal, also known as the St. Lucie Canal.

Governor receives lukewarm greeting from lagoon activists at store opening

TREASURE COAST — Gov. Rick Scott laid political blame on the president for lingering pollution that plagues the once pristine Treasure Coast waterways. Scott, who spoke briefly at the grand opening of Bass Pro Shops locat-ed just beyond Tradition’s border, said President Barack Obama is remiss for not visiting the dis-charge-ravaged lagoon or funding special projects to clean up and prevent future damage.“Unfortunately, the federal gov-

ernment is not doing their job. Lake Okeechobee is their respon-sibility. They’re not putting mon-ey into the dike like they should. It’s very disappointing,” Scott told members of the media after his brief appearance. “President Obama needs to come down here, and show up and look at what he’s

doing. Because he’s clearly not funding Lake Okeechobee the way he should.”“What we are doing in our budget,

this last year we put $20 million into storm (water) treatment 44A and we’re going to add another $40 million this next year,” Scott said. “On top of that, through our Department of Transportation, we’ve added $90 million to increase the flow of water through Tamiami Trail. So we are doing the right things. The federal government isn’t.”River advocates in attendance

pointed to Scott as the problem.“The whole thing falls in his lap

and he’s blaming somebody who has no responsibility,” Indian Riv-erkeeper Marty Baum said.More than a dozen “Riverlution-

aries” chanted “Save Our River” as the governor took to the stage to laud Florida as the fishing “capital

injuries led to doctors prescrib-ing opioids, which led Danielle to drug addiction. Bosley talked about watching her daughter’s personality change as drugs took their price. “On Sept. 22nd, her birthday, her

friends threw a party for her,” Bosley said. She said Danielle combined al-

cohol and opioids at the birthday party. “I lost my daughter on the same

day I gave birth to her,” Bosley said. Coastal Live Church, 560 S.W.

34th St., hosted a local gathering for the Narcotics Overdose Pre-vention & Education National Candlelight Vigil on Thursday, Oct. 24. It was one of 600 vig-il sites in two countries and 21 states. Palm City’s Tykes & Teens organized the local event. The church’s executive pas-

tor Joe Dawson said his family lost two to drug addiction. One brother died of an overdose at 31. A second died at 42 of another common drug-induced cause: suicide. “He couldn’t handle life any-

more,” Dawson said. “It became too much. And I had to watch my mother bury a second son.” Martin County Sheriff William

Snyder said over his decades in law enforcement he’s been haunted and inspired by a Bible passage: Genesis 4:9, the passage in which Cain retorts to God’s inquiry about Abel’s location. “We’re here tonight asking, very

profoundly, ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’” Snyder said. “I think it’s up to us to answer that question individually.” Snyder said attendees could

do more than remember those lost. He said ideas and energy to brighten the future came from such gatherings. “I believe individually we can

make a difference,” he said. “I believe collectively we can make a difference.” The sheriff said one thing at-

tendees could do to help reduce drug-related deaths is by spread-ing word about a new Florida statue that grants one who calls first responders to help someone likely experiencing a drug over-dose immunity from prosecution if police discover controlled sub-stances on them while attending to the medical emergency.

Martin County experiments with improving water quality … naturally

PALM CITY — Martin County is testing whether plants are the root of one solution.“All plants take up nutrients

in the environment,” Dianne Hughes, senior ecosystem spe-cialist, said. Destructive Nitrogen- and phos-

phorus-rich water reaches the St. Lucie River mostly three ways. Recently, a bunch of it has come down the C-44 from Lake Okeechobee releases into the river’s southern side. Septic tanks leak the nutrients that then seep underground toward the river. Then there’s rain. Well, not the rain itself. Rather,

storm water picks up nitrogen and phosphorus from a variety

of natural and manmade sources and takes it to the river. Some of that storm water is routed to tem-porary reservoirs before reaching the river, and that’s where the county has the greatest opportu-nity to reduce its nutrient loads. The county is testing whether it can reduce the nutrients by as much as half using a Florida company’s floating planters at the Old Palm City West STA, that’s the storm-water treatment area nestled between Cornell and But-ler avenues by 35th Street. “Occasionally we have algae

blooms in this (storm-water treat-ment area) that we were having to treat with chemicals,” Hughes said. “It’s been problematic for the STA.” The county turned to a New

Staff photo by Patrick McCallister Dianne Hughes, senior ecosystem specialist at Martin County, inspects floating plant-ers recently placed at the Old Palm City West STA, that is the storm-water treatment area nestled between Cornell and Butler avenues by 35th Street. The county is testing a new approach to reducing waterborne nutrients reaching the St. Lucie River and eliminating algae blooms in storm-water treatment areas. The county believes the suspended planters can reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in the water by half.

Beemats, which produces float-ing, cell-foam planters. The plant-ers let users put vegetation that normally grows along shorelines and in shallow water in deeper parts of natural and manmade ponds and lakes. That means more plants taking up nutrients before they reach the St. Lucie. Martin picked up 11 of the

planters. They add almost 8,500 plants over 3,667 square feet to

the treatment area. The STA is split between fresh

and brackish water reservoirs by a limestone dam. Most storm water flows into the southern reservoir then seeps through the limestone dam that removes some impurities into the northern reservoir. That reservoir gets the seeped water, along with some ground water. It also receives some brackish water from river

from fraud.”Those who don’t buy healthcare

insurance privately or through HealthCare.gov will be penalized.Michael Terrio, investment ad-

visor and president of The Terrio Group, a retirement planning company based in St. Lucie West, held an informational seminar at Tradition Town Hall on Oct. 18 to explain the new costs.“In 2014, if you don’t have some

sort of health insurance, you’re going to be hit with a one percent penalty against your modified adjusted gross income or $95 per person, whichever one is higher,”

Terrio said. “For a child, it’s going to be $47.50. This is kind of the ramp up. People are saying well, this is isn’t that big of a deal.”“By 2015, it becomes 2 percent

of modified adjusted gross in-come, or $325, whichever one is higher. That’s a jump, wouldn’t you agree?”After that, the rates increase

dramatically, Terrio said.“By 2017, from that point for-

ward, it’s going to increase every single year by inflation … There’s no cap.” Lawmakers should be subject

to the same fees and laws that they make, Paterson said. But, it’s a common misconception that

members of Congress are exempt from The Affordable Care Act, Murphy said.“Members of the House and the

Senate, as well as their staff, will be going from the federal employ-ee-based plan to the Obamacare marketplaces starting the first of the year,” Murphy said. “I strongly believe that Members of Congress should have to play by the same rules as families on the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach-es.” “In fact, I support adding the

president and the White House staff to the exchanges as well,”

Murphy added.“One of the best ways to keep an

eye on whether the marketplaces are actually working for the mid-dle class is to force Members of Congress to feel the law’s impact firsthand.”The availability of treatment will

be compromised, some say.Dr. Michael Hofstee, a licensed

chiropractic physician in St. Lucie County, said the wait time for routine checkups, other pro-cedures and preventative visits, which are free of charge under the new law, will increase with the inundation of new patients. Hofstee, a Canadian native, is

also State Committeeman of the Republican Party of St. Lucie County.“Any country where they have

socialized medicine, you can compare their waiting times to get some sort of a procedure and it’s always going to be longer on average, because if you’re getting paid less to do a procedure, some facilities are going to say that’s no longer profitable to do that, so we’re going to close,” Hofstee said.Many private practices may be

forced to close-up shop, Hofstee said.“We think that we’re going to

have the same access to care as we have now and everybody’s going to be insured, but econom-ically, that’s just not a support-able system,” Hofstee said. “So, somewhere, something’s going

to have to give. One of the things that is going to give is the num-ber of doctors there are, the number of facilities, the number of hospital beds.”“It’s not something that is going

to happen overnight, but even-tually those things are going to start trickling down.”Hofstee compared the new sys-

tem to the dwindling popularity of HMOs, health maintenance organizations that contract with health care professionals and facilities to create a “provider network.”“When you’re in socialized

medicine, you will have no out-of-network. You have to go to which doctor they tell you or they may have a very small selection of doctors,” he said. “You’ll get an MRI when they tell you, where they tell you. You’ll get surgery where they tell you and when they tell you.”The case is quite the contrary,

Murphy said.“The Affordable Care Act actually

makes preventative care more ac-cessible — not less. Since 2010, insurers have been required to cover preventive services like annual checkups, immuniza-tions, and cancer screenings with no out-of-pocket costs,” Mur-phy said. “Being able to catch treatable conditions before they become emergencies will actually lessen the strain on our health system, reduce costs, and im-prove and in some cases save lives.”

OBAMACARE from page A14

The congressman promised to press the Army Corps for its report.“We’re going to keep the pres-

sure on the Corps. Last time I heard, the Chief’s Report will hopefully be done in the spring of next year. So, the South Flor-ida Water Management District

can start looking at some of the projects and start prioritizing what they want to move forward with,” Murphy said. “Basically, when that Chief’s Report is done, it’s full steam ahead with this. I’m optimistic and hopeful we’re down to just a matter of months now that that Chief’s Report will be done. And we’ll keep pushing them to hurry up.”

of the country.”“Right now, the only place in the

whole lagoon we’ve got worth a doggone is from Jensen Beach to Vero and that’s because of the Fort Pierce Inlet,” Baum said. “Everything has either got six square miles of dead sea grass, the discharges (are) killing all of our biodiversity and our offshore fish-ery is going to collapse this winter because we’ve lost the fishery of more than 2 billion fish and all of our winter fishery offshore depends on the lagoon.”“We’ve just been totally thrown to

the dogs,” Baum said. “And he has not done anything but support and enable polluters to continue what they’re doing.”Baum added Scott has yet to meet

one-on-one with area residents affected by the dirty freshwater dumps from Lake Okeechobee by the Army Corps of Engineers. Hundreds of protestors gathered in August during a gubernatorial visit to the St. Lucie Lock and Dam, where billions of gallons of the dis-charges passed through since May. The governor addressed the press, but didn’t meet with constituents. The flood gates closed last week as the state enters its dry season.“The important thing is when he

came to the locks and there was 300, 400 or 500 of us, he flat out ignored us. He wouldn’t even say ‘hello.’ He was a coward. He hid and he ran just like he did today,” Marty Baum said.Port St. Lucie resident Nyla Pipes

wants Scott to stand in solidarity with lagoon activists.“It’s unacceptable. He’s supposed

to be representing the people of the state of Florida and the state of Florida has a major water problem.

It’s time for him to step up,” Pipes said.“I think that if the governor was

supporting us, the president might come a little sooner. I’m disap-pointed in the president as well, I’m not going to lie,” Pipes said. “I wish Obama would come as well, but I think our governor can get him here sooner than we could if he would stand beside us and align himself with us.”Capt. Don Voss, who heads the

Marine Cleanup Initiative based in Fort Pierce, said the sight of a lifeless lagoon is shameful.“The most healthy fish are right

inside the aquarium and we’re all going inside to see what it looks like,” Voss said of the 13,000-gal-lon saltwater aquarium in the outdoor superstore.The governor will continue to be

greeted with crowd “boos” if he doesn’t soon meet with locals, said State Rep. Larry Lee Jr., D-Port St. Lucie.“What happened this evening, his

reception at the Bass Pros Shops, is what he’s always going to get when he visits the Treasure Coast if he doesn’t make a more seri-ous commitment to restoring the health of the Indian River Lagoon and the health of our waterways,” Lee said.Internationally renowned marine

wildlife artist and conservationist Guy Harvey attended the grand opening. The Cayman Islands resident, who said he frequents the Treasure Coast, acknowledged the languished lagoon.“They’ve got to come up with some

different options, the local water authorities,” Harvey said. “They’ve got to think of the devastating long term consequence to the marine life and make a change. It’s very, very important.”

The YMCA Preschool visits local farm

MARTIN COUNTY -- The YMCA of the Treasure Coast supports a premise that children will choose healthier foods, including more fruits and vegetables, if prod-ucts are fresh, locally grown, and picked at the peak of their flavor. To introduce this ideal to par-ticipants at an early age, the Y’s Teddy Bear Academy Preschool visited a local farm so that the children could better understand the benefits of locally grown fruits and vegetables. In 2010, Congress designat-

ed October as National Farm to School Month in order to improve nutrition, support local econo-mies and educate children about the origins of food. This year, Oct. 18 was designated specifically as Farm to Preschool Day. In order to participate along with other preschoolers across the nation, the 4- and 5- year-olds from the Y preschool visited D & D Farms in Palm City. The children took a hayride through the fields and the farmer talked to them about how fruits and vegetables are grown in Florida. The children stopped sev-eral times along the way to exam-ine the fruits and vegetables and to ask the farmer questions. They also got to choose a pumpkin and take it home.Delia Diaz, the Y preschool coor-

dinator, said the kids got to pick tomatoes and really got to see how the other fruits and vegetables were growing. “They were really interested in

the eggplants. They were amazed by how big it was and that it could hang there and not fall.” Even though the kids from the

Y are young, they were able to re-main interested through the whole tour. Diaz said the farmer was able to explain how different foods are grown at different times due to the changing weather so that they would understand it. He also ex-plained where the food goes once it’s picked. Some kids were even able to identify some of the stores and produce stands that D & D Farms services as the one that their family shops at. “The farmer was great,” said

Diaz. “He knew just what to say to get the kids excited. He invited all of them to return when the tem-perature drops, so that they could pick strawberries. They were all excited about that.” The Y is one of the nation’s lead-

ing nonprofits strengthening com-munities through youth develop-ment, healthy living and social responsibility. Across the U.S., 2,700 YMCAs engage 21 million men, women and children – re-gardless of age, income or back-ground – to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the nation’s health and well-being, and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors. Anchored in more than 10,000

communities, the Y has the long-standing relationships and physical presence not just to promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change. ymca-treasurecoast.org

overlap. The planters on the southern,

freshwater, side have pickerel-weed, red top, soft rush, golden canna, and blue flag iris. Those on the northern, brackish, side have coastal cordgrass, seashore paspalum, arrowhead, water hys-sop, and sawgrass.Of course, plants grow. Debo-

rah Drum, manager of ecosystem

restoration, said the county can use the growing vegetation at other storm-water treatment ar-eas, some could be planted along waterways, and, of course, some could be composted for natural fertilization. “We’re looking at innovative

technologies to be effective in a number of ways,” she said. She added, ‘If it does work, we’ll be able to use it in our other STAs, and that will reduce the amount of chemical herbicides we use.”

The county is testing a new approach to reducing waterborne nutrients reach-ing the St. Lucie River and eliminating algae blooms in storm-water treatment areas. The county believes the suspended planters can reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in the water by half.

Bridge connects past to the future

PALM CITY — A lot of folks really hated the whole idea of building the Veterans Memorial Bridge. It’s coming anyhow. That’s Palm City for ya. Mary Jones, executive director of

the Stuart Heritage Museum, has been a Palm City resident since the 1950s. She said the town’s always had mixed relationships with bridges. “A lot of people did not want that

bridge,” she said. Jones wasn’t talking about the

four-lane bridge slated to open later this year to create a second route over the St. Lucie River’s South Fork. No, she was talking about the first two-lane concrete span that joined Palm City and Stuart. That version of the Palm City Bride opened back in 1970, and cost about $1.2 million. In 1991, a second span adding

two more lanes to the Palm City Bridge opened. Folks opposed that $8.7 million project, too. “That one, there was a big stink

about four-laning,” Jones said.Palm City’s ambivalent relation-

ships with bridges started back

in 1919. That year the first Palm City Bridge — a narrow, wooden structure — opened. It reportedly cost about $63,500. Jones said there was some dislike in Palm City toward the bridge. Some residents owned boats, and that’s how they liked getting back and forth to and from Stuart. They didn’t see much good reason to go changing things with a bridge. The Palm Beach County Land

Company was selling lots and farms to folks on the western side of the St. Lucie since the early 1910s. Before the bridge went up, the company provided a ferry, the Ellen G, which made three trips a day between Palm City and Stuart. Then came that first Palm City

Bridge. “It would carry a vehicle, but

only one at a time,” Jones said. “It was narrow — very, very nar-row until the 1950s.” Narrow enough the vehicles

sometimes went off. An empty school bus did in 1923 — no one was hurt. Palm City children were heading to Stuart Elementary School back then. Resistance to the Palm City Bridge faded over time, although a lot of folks were scared to cross the thing. “The bridge was a vital, vital part

of the community,” Jones said. The Okeechobee hurricane in

1928 demonstrated just how important the bridge had be-come to the young community that incorporated in 1921. The about 2,000-foot trip over the river to the county’s commercial centers became a 20-some-mile trek around the St. Lucie Riv-er’s South Fork for some folks. Of course, some still use pretty much the same route to head to and from Stuart, but now they have things such as an interstate

highway and cars with air condi-tioning. The repaired bridge reopened in

the summer of ’29. It reopened with a bridge-keeper’s house that time around. Things went along pretty well for the next two decades. Then there was 1949 Florida hurricane. That powerful storm followed an eerily similar path to the Okeechobee hurri-cane’s. And like its predecessor, the ’49 hurricane damaged the

Palm City Bridge beyond use for a bit, send-ing folks on the long, southerly trips to get around the river again.In the 1950s, work started to widen and

modernize the Palm City Bridge, giving it a distinguishing feature Jones remembers well. “They put concrete on the old bridge, and

when you drove over it you went ba bump, ba bump, ba bump,” she said. Crews are now smoothing the concrete on

the Veterans Memorial Bridge, so it doesn’t

give drivers a similar ba bump, ba bump, ba bump. George Denti, project manager, said that by the end of October the Veterans Memorial Bridge will likely span the St. Lucie River. “By Halloween, you’d be able to physically

cross the bridge,” he said in a previous inter-view. Not a good idea to try until it’s opened. Secu-

rity crews will be watching for anyone trying to cross the bridge early with potential felony charges to hand violators. A dedication ceremony is scheduled for Nov.

16. Among other festivities, folks will be able to walk on the new bridge all they want to take in a simultaneous antique-car and boat parade. Dedication festivities will launch with a 5k run at about 7 a.m. MCM Timing and Results, Jensen Beach, is organizing it. After the 5k, dignitaries such as county commis-sioners will ceremonially dedicate the bridge. The bridge will most likely not be opened

right after the dedication ceremony. It could

A narrow, wooden bridge joining Palm City and Stuart opened in 1919. Before then Palm City residents heading to Stuart took a ferry, or a long route around the St. Lucie River’s South Fork. Many still take that route, but now there’s an interstate highway that makes things much simpler. The bridge was damaged beyond use by hurricanes in 1928 and 1949. A concrete, two-lane bridge replaced the wooden bridge in 1970. A second span adding two more lanes between Palm City and Stuart opened in 1991.

take a few more weeks to finish before opening to regular traffic. The Veterans Memorial Bridge is

a 100-year design. That is, if done correctly, it should be at least 100 years before it needs major maintenance. The Federal High-way Administration is funding the $65-million bridge construction through the American Recov-ery and Reinvestment Act. The project was originally estimated to cost more than $120 million. However, due to the construction

bust in 2008, the cost of building materials dropped significantly, and contractors generally lowered their bids. The Martin County Board of

County Commissioners in 2011 voted to name the 3,100-foot structure Veterans Memorial Bridge. A lot of folks still call it the Indian Street Bridge. Jones said no one today can

imagine how the Veterans Me-morial could change Palm City’s destiny, but it will.“Without (the Palm City Bridge)

we would not have the communi-ty we have now,” she said.

Outback: full of flavor where customers come first

MARTIN COUNTY — Outback Steakhouse in Stuart boasts a big name with the stellar service of a small-town restaurant where food is cooked to order and servers know their patrons by first name.Server Andrew Mininger said it’s

always a pleasure to see famil-iar faces walk through the door. Mininger, who has worked for the restaurant at several locations for the past eight years, said although the food is consistent, it’s anything but cookie-cutter big chain food a first-time diner might expect.“Everything is made in-house,

fresh every day,” Mininger. “It’s not made 1,000 miles away and shipped to us.”“Whatever you want, we’ll make

it happen,” Mininger added.A great dinner dish for land-lov-

ers is the prime rib, slow-cooked for six hours every day, Mininger said.Since the prime rib is ready

around 4 p.m. daily, Mininger recommends another option for lunch.

“Before that I tend to point people toward the ribeye. We can do that on the wood fire or the flattop,” he said. “I highly recom-mend cooking that steak over the wood fire. If you like the charcoal, then that’s where it’s at.”A highly recommended steak

dish is the center-cut sirloin, which comes in 6, 9 and 12 ounc-es, seasoned with 17 different spices and cooked on a flattop grill. A slight butter glaze tops off the flavorful dish.Mininger recommends a refresh-

ing dish for patrons on the move.“If you’re not in the mood for

steak, especially during lunch, a lot of times people will go for a lighter lunch, the avocado chick-en sandwich is amazing as well,” Mininger said. “When I’m here for lunch, that’s generally what I will try.”There are plenty of options for

sea-lovers, too.“Another one of my favorites,

and I would say a customer favor-ite, which is slightly understat-ed until people try it is the Ahi Tuna,” Mininger said. “We have a wasabi paste that we can make if you like a bit of heat. It’s served with a ginger soy as well as a wasabi vinaigrette.”A recommended seafood dish is

the seasonally offered wood fired and grilled halibut seasoned with a touch of salt, pepper and garlic with a light glaze of butter and a side of fresh steamed vegetables. There is no need for a knife for

this melt-in-your-mouth filet.A must-have is Outback’s

famous colossal onion, bread-ed, deep-fried and served with a mayo horseradish sauce. The popular item was on the first Outback menu in 1988 and has been a signature appetizer ever since, said managing partner Va-nessa Wagner.“It wouldn’t be Outback without

a Blooming Onion,” Wagner said.The eatery also has an unprec-

edented gluten-free menu with more than 30 items. Its home-made brownie sundae is even baked daily without the ingredi-ent.“When people have a gluten

allergy or are celiacs, this is a lifesaver,” Mininger said. “A lot of places you’ll go to will have one or two items. This is essentially the whole menu with modifications.”The restaurant is also chari-

table. It gives back regularly to local schools, churches and other organizations. “I don’t say ‘No’ to anyone who

walks in my front door who asks for something,” Wagner. “I usu-ally make five to six donation gift baskets per month that we use for local charities, whether it be for a silent auction or whatever it is they’re trying to raise money for.”

Outback Steakhouse is located at 3101 S.E. Federal Highway, Stuart. To place an order to-go, call (772) 286-2622 or visit www.outback.com.Dishes range from $4 to $24.99.

Outback is known for their Aussie atmosphere and the fine cuts of steak and potatoes.

ing the Tin Fish brand, we had meetings out in Okeechobee with a gentleman who kept taunting us to come out there: “Please, we need a great fish place right in the smack of town,” so after sev-eral location scouting days and meeting with Terry Burroughs, who seems to be the town coordi-nator, Terry hand- walked Joseph Melluso, the founder and creator of Tin Fish, through the city offices and everyone was excited to help and make the arrival as smooth as possible. So now the choice location is being worked on; Tin Fish is reworking the old Five Guys location at 301 N. Parrot St. We met Chris Close, the land-

lord of the good-looking building and we struck a deal that is a win-win for Tin Fish, Chris Close and Okeechobee. Tin Fish has a track record of giving back to all of the communities it becomes a part of. Tin Fish signed a 10-year lease with four five-year options, planning on cooking for the com-munity, fish after fish after fish, day after day after day. All Tin Fish locations are

uniquely different in the way they look and the menu items they serve. “We adjust to all neighbor-hoods. In Okeechobee, we will serve catfish, gator, frog legs, which we have great experience with at some of our other loca-tions. Specials will include sea-sonal options of fresh mullet and grits and shrimp and grits. The Tin Fish menu will have

all of the usual choices: The off-the-grill will feature clean, lean and healthy grilled salmon, mahi mahi, grouper, snapper, Shrimp served on the classic sweet and tangy cole slaw, or you can have any of the above with a salad which includes mixed greens, chopped tomatoes, Mandarin or-ange segments, dried sweetened cranberries and toasted almonds. dressing options that are house made or a Balsamic vinaigrette or a Classic Caesar dressing. The lightly breaded section in-

cludes Fish & Chip Platters, Sea-food Combo’s, Sandwiches, Taco’s Burrito’s. The lightly breaded and deep-fried items seem to get a lot

of wows. The Tin Fish tradition is heard

at all locations with the ringing of the bell. The ship’s bell rings when a “wow” is heard or a great comment is shouted out or some-one throws a tip in the tip jar. Tin Fish Changes its oil every

day and it gets filtered in be-tween shifts. “That’s what makes our super quality even better, CLEAN OIL. Of course the reci-pes are special, like the breading that Joseph the founder learned when he was a newbie in the fish business back in 1969 when he started working in a neighbor-hood fish market on a daily basis you can expect fresh-cut fish, oysters freshly shucked being served raw oysters are brought in from all over, depending on the season; they are also offered lightly breaded and deep-fried as an appetizer, a Po’boy sandwich or a platter. Fish is filleted and skinned in house on a daily basis to ensure quality. Species are trucked in and flown in. Tin Fish has even had some helicopter flights land in some peculiar plac-es for customers with some live lobsters, stone crab claws, and certain times of the year, giant Alaskan halibut are flown in for short seasons. Tin Fish is known for good

prices, great value and making people happy through food, so as you hear of their new locations opening, go on in and “let them cook for you.” The dolphin, aka (mahi-mahi),

cod, pollock, snapper, salmon, calamari, crab cakes, crouper, tilapia, catfish, gator and shrimp will be daily options; other items will be seasonal. We are excited and strong sup-

porters of the environment and are repurposing woods and met-als to contribute to not wasting and not being careless in creating a special ambiance. Any local that has some sort

of item or photo that they would like us to display or make a part of the restaurant that relates to farming, hunting or fishing, it would be a pleasure to see it on display at the Tin Fish, just call us at (619) 708-1134. All items will receive a plaque stating who it is from, with details about the item. We received our first item from Bernard Swindell, which was a 45-year-old frog gig.

Play by local author recalls another era STUART— Jeanette Mazzella,

director of the Barn Theatre’s production of the romantic come-dy, “Pin Curls,” is a trouper. She is directing the play, written by local playwright Gale Baker, from Nov. 8-24. It is her first venture since finishing chemotherapy and radiation for a recurrence of breast cancer. Her hair is back, her health is good and she’s ready to roll. During the past year, she had a

lot of time to think. “It was a year of staying home

and soul-searching and pray-ing,” she said. “I thought about a lot of things. You can’t put off all the things you want to do. I was approached to do this and I thought, ‘Why not?’ I’ve been in enough shows and I know how a

Members of the cast of ‘Pin Curls,’ rehearse a scene. The play, written by Treasure Coast resi-dent Gale Baker, will be presented by the Barn Theatre from Nov. 8-24. (Seated) Joe Pierson (L-R) Greta Goldstein, Ailyn Photenhauer, Victoria Hadel and Liz Milner.

director works. Mazzella has appeared in some

30 shows since she and husband Chris, a retired FBI agent, moved to Stuart. She is friends with local playwright Gale Baker and Baker brought the play to her. It had previously been produced in California with a professional cast, but this marks its Florida premiere. “It’s perfect for me,” Mazzella

said. “It’s set in 1944-1950 and I could relate to my mother during that time. It’s set in a Southern beauty shop and is the story of a local beautician who goes off to war as an Army nurse and what happens when she returns. She’s going because her guy was going, but he doesn’t make the draft and she’s going anyway and leav-ing him behind.” Mazzella is at the helm, but

she does have help. Her husband Chris is the producer. “He’s working his little buns

off,” she said. “Nov. 7 is Friends and Family Night, the last dress rehearsal. We’ve dedicated it to veterans’ organizations, fire and rescue and other first responders. He’s invited four representatives from each of the organizations. We’re calling it ‘Helping Our Com-munity Night.’” Chris Mazzella is also a singer

and he will be off stage as the ra-dio announcer during the show. Jeanette Mazzella noted that

many of the actors are new to the Barn. “When I saw them, I thought,

‘I don’t know any of these folks,’’’ she said. ‘Each fits the character perfectly. I’m very proud of my cast. I love these people. They’re bringing this show to life.”

The cast includes Amanda Lynn Photenhauer as beauty op-erator Betty Lou; Victoria Hadel, a Palm City resident, as Jolene; Liz Milner, also of Palm City, as Lois, a salon customer; Greta Goldstein, a veteran actress, as customer Maude; Joe Pierson, re-cently discharged from the Navy, as Betty Lou’s young man; and Chris Mazzella, a veteran actor and singer, as the radio announc-er, whose voice is all we hear. The stage manager is Kathleen Weaver. In keeping with the patriotic

theme of the play, the director plans to have posters from the era around the theater. The ush-ers will wear red, white and blue sashes. Glenn Miller tunes play in the background and the cast even does a sort of take on “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.” “This show is a challenge,’

Mazzella said. “I am delighted because of the era. I think the audience is really going to love it. The play came at the right time. I love Gale (Baker). She wrote a phenomenal play, and I’m glad to bring it to the public via the Barn.” For those who love community

theater on the Treasure Coast, the news that Jeanette Mazzella is back is welcome news, indeed.

The Barn Theatre, 2400 E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart, presents “Pin Curls,” a romantic comedy written by local playwright Gale Baker, from Nov. 8-24. Tickets are $20. Perfor-mances are Wed.-Sat- at 8 p.m. and Sun. at 2 p.m.

To purchase tickets, call thebox office at (772) 287-4884 or
