MARTIN COUNTY — Commis-sioner John Haddox, Palm City, won’t say they’re ready to kiss and make up, but he predicts the Board of County Commission-ers and Business Development Board of Martin County are close to working out their relationship and getting back to the business of economic development without relationship distractions by year’s end. “I think at the next meeting (it
comes up) we’ll have a contract,” he said. Haddox believes that by early
November the two will ink a new contract. The board’s executive director, Tim Dougher, was re-luctant to offer predictions about when a new contract could be done, but…“We’re far ahead of where we
were,” he said. That seemed evident at the
commission’s regular meeting
on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Dougher presented the commission an at-times overwhelming plethora of options for defining and mea-suring what the board, commonly called BDB, can and will do to stimulate the local economy in exchange for continued county funding. Some of the previously critical commissioners made con-ciliatory statements. “I think we’re on training wheels
and wanting to ride motorcy-cles,” Ed Fielding, Stuart, said to Dougher at the meeting. Ann Scott, Hobe Sound, agreed. “I do believe we need to have
reasonable expectations,” she told Dougher at the meeting. “This is a good start.” Both urged Dougher to lower
promises as the contract negotia-tions continue. It’s quite a change from a few
months ago. In a contentious vote at its April 23 regular meeting the commission narrowly nixed the county’s July 1 contractual quar-terly payment to the BDB, which still hasn’t been paid. And all fu-
ture payments, too, which would essentially defunding the BDB out of existence. Commissioner Anne Scott, Hobe Sound, made the motion to effectively end the county’s and board’s relationship. “This is clearly a totally dys-
functional, broken partnership, if it ever was a partnership, and we should step away from it,” she said at that meeting. Haddox joined Doug Smith,
Jensen Beach, in dissenting against the other three commis-sioners. As was commonly the case at the time, no one from the board was visibly on-hand at the meeting to make any comments or answer any questions the com-mission had. “At the last and most import-
ant meeting, they were not there, which was not a wise decision,” Haddox said in a phone interview after that meeting. So started a strange, event-
ful history that’s taken many soap-opera turns. At the time of that vote, Haddox was the county representative on the BDB’s then-
31-member board of directors. He resigned that position in early May. Then at the commission’s July
18 regular meeting, Haddox dropped a bombshell on fel-low commissioners. He want-ed that seat on the BDB board back as the county and it re-negotiate their 10-year, now $643,000-a-year contract ap-proved by the commission in 2009. Since then, voters switched several commission seats. “I resigned from the BDB,”
Haddox said at that meeting. He continued, “I couldn’t negoti-ate on both sides and negotiate against myself, but I would like to volunteer and be re-appointed to the BDB to represent the com-mission.” Commissioner Ed Fielding,
Stuart, wondered aloud if it was appropriate for the commission to appoint anyone to the board while the BDB and commission are in contract renegotiations

that could end with legal ac-tions. Nevertheless, he approved a motion made by Smith that Scott seconded to re-appoint Haddox. Scott has been perhaps the
harshest BDB critic on the com-mission, Smith its most ardent defender. Haddox has walked a middle road, insisting that the 2009 contract didn’t serve the county’s interests, but that the BDB is the county’s best hope for solid economic development. He’s maintained in repeated in-terviews that the contract is too long with no performance mea-surements and puts the county on the hook for too much of the board’s budget. The BDB was established in
1991. In addition to convincing and helping companies relocate to Martin, it’s responsible to help existing businesses stay and thrive. It’s a public-private partnership.
Haddox has repeatedly said in public meetings and interview that he wants a renegotiated contract to be no longer than three years without automat-ic annual payment increases that are in the current one, 3 percent a year. Additionally, he wants the county’s current annual contribution dropped from $643,000 to $460,000, and in two years to only the money raised by occupational licenses, about $250,000 to $300,000 a year. He said the BDB must wean itself from the county gen-eral-fund money. “From my research, I believe
the (BDB’s funding) ratio should be 40 percent private sector to 60 percent private sector,” he said.Dougher said in a previous
interview that the board gets private support from area cham-bers of commerce and trade associations. That amounts to about $100,000 a year. The pri-vate donors pay quarterly.
BDB from page 3Government shutdown harms area veterans Editor’s note: This story was
written Monday, Oct. 7. It’s pos-sible that there have been signif-icant developments since press time. For up-to-date information about the Department of Veterans Affairs during the federal govern-ment’s shutdown, visit va.gov, and see the “Veterans Field Guide to Government Shutdown,” or related pages.
TREASURE COAST — It might not feel like it to many, but the federal government shutdown can hit the Treasure Coast in a lot of ways. Examining just one is look-ing at 37,500 veterans living in St. Lucie and Martin counties. “(I’m getting) lots of phone calls,”
Wayne Teegardin, manager of St. Lucie County’s Veteran Services Office, said. “The first question they ask is, ‘Is my check still go-ing to be here?’”
Congressman Patrick Murphy, Democrat from Jupiter repre-senting Florida’s 18th District, is getting that question a lot, too. He got an email from a St. Lucie veteran that captured the uncer-tainty and frustration many are feeling. “(The veteran) said, ‘I’m literal-
ly about to go on food stamps,” Murphy said in a telephone inter-view. On Oct. 4 he read that email on
the floor of the House of Repre-sentatives. “‘I am currently receiving (De-
partment of Veterans Affairs) disability (compensation) for service-connected injuries, or at least I was before the government shutdown yesterday,’” Murphy read. “‘I rely on my disability to survive and now I don’t even know when the next payment will arrive.’” Murphy’s office declined to iden-
tify the veteran beyond “Joshua.”

(Congress’s) support for this, ele-vates this to national significance,” Pelosi said to close to 200 “River Warriors” who traveled by bus and plane to have their voices heard at the meeting.Pelosi was able to see first-hand
just how toxic the water has be-come by viewing a Gatorade bottle filled with the murky lagoon water U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupi-ter, carries with him.“When Patrick Murphy presented
me that bottle, I wasn’t sure what was going on,” Pelosi said. “But when he told me what that water in fact was, it was shocking. One picture is worth a 1,000 words, but that was utterly scary.”Pelosi said she stands behind
U.S. Reps. Murphy and Trey Radel, R-Fort Myers, who facilitated the briefing.“I just want to pay my respects,
offer my support and endorse what is happening here today,” Pelosi said.
Federal RoleU.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said
the Senate and House must unite and put party lines aside to save the state’s water.“We’ve got to pass a water bill, it’s
called the Water Resources Devel-opment Act, we passed it in the Senate and it’s got the Everglades restoration in there,” Nelson said to a roar of applause by audience members.Nelson, who urged residents to
never tire in their battle for clean water, recalled childhood memories of the Indian River Lagoon.“I grew up on the Indian River,”
Nelson said. “When I was a kid, it was clear. It ain’t now.”Murphy said he hopes to pass
the bill on the House side soon. He also commended the community for its tremendous showing.

“I’m thrilled to see so many active members of our community here, fighting alongside me to bring this issue to Congress,” the freshman representative said. “And it’s really because of all of you and your activism that we have this oppor-tunity.”Because of the government
shutdown, representatives from the Army Corps of Engineers were unable to attend. Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), was also absent due to the shutdown. Murphy assured the crowd a transcript of the brief-ing will be entered into the Con-gressional record to be delivered to every member of the House and Senate. A copy will also be deliv-ered to the Army Corps of Engi-neers and other federal officials, he said.“There is no denying that an en-
vironmental crisis is taking place up and down the Indian River Lagoon,” Murphy said. “Record rainfall, out-of-date engineering and agricultural runoff are all con-tributing to the serious crisis in our waters.”The only way to fix the problem is
by cooperation among local, state and federal entities, Murphy said. Vital projects that need funding include the Indian River Lagoon South Project, improvements to the Herbert Hoover Dike, the purchase of agricultural land south of Lake Okeechobee, conserving land north of the lake, reduction of runoff and the promotion of water storage ini-tiatives with local farmers, he said.Radel, agreeing, said the environ-
ment and economy have an impact on each other.“I’m a firm believer that we in
Florida clearly understand that a healthy environment means a healthy economy,” Radel said as he described how areas in Sanibel and Cape Coral are being destroyed by releases from Lake Okeechobee. “It is something that we see and live by every, single day.”Among the steady flow of lawmak-
ers was U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Okeechobee. Rooney is a former Treasure Coast representative,
whose previous district included the lagoon. Murphy and Rooney joined forces this year in drafting a letter urging the Obama adminis-tration to support funding for Ever-glades Headwaters National Refuge and Conservation.“Nothing would give me more plea-
sure than to someday look back and say we’ve solved this prob-lem,” Rooney said. “With Trey and Patrick taking the lead on this, our chances are better than ever.”
State RoleThroughout his testimony, State
Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, who called the Army Corps “the judge, the jury and the executioner,” said the Corps’ supreme power over Lake Okeechobee must be revoked.“I believe that the Army Corps’
stewardship of Lake Okeechobee, the St. Lucie Estuary and Caloo-sahatchee Estuary has been and continues to be a complete dismal, abject failure,” Negron said.He asked members of Congress to
revoke the Army Corps jurisdiction over Lake Okeechobee and turn the operation over to the state.“We have a 1 percent chance of
a breech. We have a 100 percent certainty where I live on the Trea-sure Coast that our estuary and our water body will be destroyed,” Negron said.The Army Corps should not be ex-
empt from the Clean Water Act ei-ther, Negron said. A goal to achieve is to have President Obama back to Palm City and St. Lucie County to tour the waterways and direct the Army Corps to abide by the law.Palm City resident Darrell Brand,
who lives on the C-23 canal, echoed Negron’s same sentiment during the public’s chance to ad-dress members of Congress. “If I were to dump those toxins
into those bodies of water, I would be fined and possibly arrested by numerous officials,” Brand said.Secretary Herschel Vinyard of
the Florida Department of Envi-ronmental Protection, said since
St. Lucie County Commissioner Frannie Hutchinson testifies before members of Con-gress during an Oct. 3 Indian River Lagoon briefing on Capitol Hill. Martin County Commis-sioner Sarah Heard, who also testified, listens as Hutchinson called for swift action to fix the dying lagoon.

From the politicians“The fact that all of you are here
is a tribute to how important the issue is. It’s a symbol of how important the issue is.” – House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“It’s not just the lake water that’s causing all of the damage. There’s a lot of runoff around there. We need to clean it up.” – U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.
“I fished the Kissimmee River before it was changed. My po-sition is it would probably been better had we left it as it was and I find it fascinating that the Army Corps of Engineers is trying to put it back to how God had put it in the first place.” – U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar
“I want to thank Patrick Mur-phy because he’s a brand new member of Congress and has been effective from the start and comes with this youth and this knowledge of the environment and comes with this bipartisan spirit.” – House Minority Speak-er Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“You hear about a lot of acrimo-ny and a lot of partisanship in Washington, but there are certain issues where there is no partisan-ship at all and I’m proud to say this is one of them.” – U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Rockledge
“The pollution and its continu-ation is absolutely unacceptable.
No family should be expected to tolerate ongoing pollution. To me, it’s one of the essential functions and responsibilities of the govern-ment to make sure people have clean water.” – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, D-Weston
“This is a crucially important issue not only for Florida, but for the whole nation.” – U.S. Rep Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

Negron’s August hearing in Stuart, the Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District have partnered to divert 10 million gal-lons of water away from the Caloo-sahatchee and St. Lucie rivers.Gov. Rick Scott’s $40 million
pledge to speed up C-44 canal im-provements in Martin County is a step in the right direction, but the
federal government isn’t following through because funding has dried up, Vinyard said.“The federal government, the
Corps of Engineers, don’t have the funding for their remaining piece ... If you all can find the funds for the Corps, that will pay big dividends for the people behind me,” Vinyard said.Ernie Barnett, Assistant Executive

The email’s author served in the Navy until a few months ago, the Congressman’s office said. The answers to the veterans’
questions about the shutdown means more than $9.5 million a month for the two counties. The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs — which isn’t associated with the federal veterans depart-ment — reports that St. Lucie and Martin counties have nearly 37,600 veterans among them col-lectively receiving about $115.8 million a year in pensions and benefits. That doesn’t include the federal dollars that flow into the area through VA programs such as medical facilities. For example, there’s a Communitiy-Based Out-patient Clinic in Fort Pierce. Murphy recently joined with
other Florida representatives in approving legislation that’d large-ly insulate the VA from cutbacks during the shutdown and likely upcoming debt-ceiling showdown. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has warned that if the Congress doesn’t raise the federal borrow-ing limit by around Oct. 17, some of the government’s bills will go unpaid and programs unfunded. “They put their lives at risk, they
served our country, and I’m em-barrassed by the way our govern-ment is behaving now,” Murphy said.
That bill, which had other pro-visions, would have to pass the Senate and get President Barack Obama’s signature to be law. At press time, Democratic leader-ship in the Senate is refusing to consider individual spending bills from the House, insisting instead for a complete continuing reso-lution to keep the federal govern-ment fully operational. What’s not at any risk for shut-
ting down until next October is the Veterans Health Adminis-tration, VHA, said Joe Violante, legislative director of the Disabled American Veterans. “If we are in a long-term govern-
ment shutdown, the only thing that won’t be affected for veterans will be their healthcare,” he said in a telephone interview. That’s because the VA health-
care system receives advance appropriations from Congress. Ray Kelley, national legislative di-rector of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the VHA’s advance appropriations — which were enacted by Congress in 2009 to shield veterans health care from federal budget battles, such as the current shutdown — is more than a big IOU. “VA has money in the bank,”
Kelly said in a phone interview. “That advance appropriation carved off some money and put it in the bank.” But, to get VA healthcare, vet-
erans must apply for it. Their claims go to the Veterans Bene-fits Administration, VBA, which doesn’t receive advanced funding. Nick Ciotti, veterans service offi-cer for Martin County, said that by press time, he’d noticed no differences at VBA. “They said at the (VA St. Pe-
tersburg Regional Office), it’s not open to outside people, but per-sonnel are still there,” he said in a phone interview. “Business as usual for them, as I understand it.” For now. Murphy said that even a short
federal shutdown can have disas-trous consequences on the VA’s infamous claims backlog. “I don’t think the pensions and
benefits will stop flowing,” he said in the phone interview. “I do fear new claims not getting processed and that backlog growing again. They’ve worked so hard to get that down.” That’s a concern for Teegardin
as well, no matter how smooth things seem to be running for now. “(The regional office is) answer-
ing the phone,” he said. “They’re estimating that if this goes on, this is impacting the claims back-log. It’s slowing them down on the backlog and that, of course, slows new claims.”

Collette Burgess, public affairs officer at the VA’s St. Petersburg office, which receives claims filed in St. Lucie and Martin counties, said no matter what happens with the government shutdown and possible debt-ceiling battles, the VA has funding for process-ing claims and making payments for compensations and pensions, along with educational and vo-cational rehabilitation programs, until late October. However, the VA has cut its expenses. “We are not working overtime,”
she said. “Due to the shutdown, the Veterans Benefits Administra-tion will not be able to continue overtime for claims processors.” Violante said that’s how the
shutdown is going to pain vet-erans even if it’s short. In May, the VA mandated overtime for its claims adjusters to reduce the claims backlog. “Right now VA has some essen-
tial personnel able to process claims,” Violante said. “They’ve cut out overtime. That was one of the vehicles they were using to attack this backlog.” A couple years ago, the VBA
had about a million claims that had awaited decisions for more than six months at any given time. Aggressive efforts, including the mandated overtime, greatly reduced that number to less than half by the end of the federal government’s 2012-2013 fiscal year, Sept. 30. In an email, Vio-lante said that last fiscal year the VBA processed almost 1.2 million claims, or about 12 percent more than it had the two previous fis-cal years. In September alone, the VBA processed 129,488 claims. Some claims are initially denied,
for various reasons, but veterans have options for appealing those decisions. That’s stopped for now. “During the shutdown, no deci-
sions on claims appeals will be issued by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals,” Burgess said. Violante said veterans have
been harmed by stalled progress in many areas for the last few years, because of the legislative
and executive branches’ seeming-ly unending budget stalemates, sequestration and continuing resolutions to keep the federal government in operation. “Even running the government
on continuing resolutions, which they’ve done for years now, cre-ates a hardship,” he said. “Veter-ans and their families are feeling immediate impacts from this.” While it’s largely symbolic, per-
haps the most visible effect of the shutdown on veterans has been on those visiting the World War II Memorial at the National Mall. It’s closed during the shutdown, but Honor Flight veterans have famously defied the closure to visit the monument. Two area Honor Flight hubs plan
to take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., in October. The Southeast Florida Honor Flight, which covers the Treasure Coast, has a flight planned for Oct. 19. It didn’t respond to inter-view requests by press time. Murphy said it was important to
get the government and memorial reopened. “To think that because of our
petty arguments, because we can’t get along, that (veterans) can’t experience this,” he said in a personal interview. “I forgot the exact number, but there are hun-dreds if not thousands of (World War II) vets dying a day. The longer this goes on, these petty fights, the more folks that aren’t going to see these memorials.” Some representatives have par-
ticipated in civil disobedience at the memorial. For example, Con-gressman Bill Posey, a Republi-can whose district is just north of Murphy’s, has posted pictures of himself on Facebook moving bar-ricades from the National World War II Memorial. Kelley said the VFW appreciates the sentiments of representatives who’ve made such public protests and appear-ances with veterans at the memo-rial, but would prefer they stay at the Capitol and work out an end to the shutdown. “It does frustrate us,” he said.

Seven50 first draft released; critics tell Martin Commission to nix it
TREASURE COAST — Upheld as a promising guide for intelligent planning and decried as the Tro-jan horse of a federal-government takeover of local government, the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership will release its first draft of the Seven50 Southeast Florida Prosperity Plan on Friday, Oct. 11. Critics aren’t waiting. At the last
regular Martin County Commis-sion meeting, Oct. 8, numerous folks used the public comment time to demand that Martin County withdraw from the part-nership and Seven50 plan pro-cess. Nevertheless, the draft is coming
and people can choose to be a part of planning for South Flor-ida’s future, or not, supporters say. “It will be available online at
(seven50.org),” Michael Busha, executive director of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, said in a phone interview. “People can download it to their phones, to their home computers.” And make comments, he said. “When we release the draft, we’ll
collect information and update information and revise it, revise it, revise it,” Busha said.
Kate Boland, chairwoman of the Martin County Republican Exec-utive Committee, plans to read it. “I’m open to see what’s in the
draft,” she said. But cautious about what she’ll
find. Boland has been a critic of the partnership and the Seven50 planning process. She recently spoke at an American Coalition 4 Property Rights presentation against the partnership and Seven50 Plan at the Peter & Julie Cummings Library, Palm City. About 100 attended, including John Haddox, Martin County commissioner representing Palm City. “In the end, it’s about controlling
decisions, controlling local gov-ernment, controlling individuals,” she said at the meeting. The Martin Republican Par-
ty issued a resolution in May opposing the partnership and urging the Martin commission to withdraw from the Seven50 Plan process. The “Seven” in Seven50 is for
seven counties, Broward, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Mon-roe, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties. The “50” is for 50 years. The partnership was launched in 2009 by the South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional Planning councils to apply for a $4.25 mil-

“Really, you shut down the government and you’re going to go down to the World War II Memorial like you’re doing something terrific?” he said. Violante said during the shutdown, the DAV leadership is gener-
ally steering clear of public appearances with members of Con-gress. “We’ve been trying to stay out of the politicking going on on both
sides of the aisle, wanting to selectively pay for this or that,” he said. During the shutdown, Murphy is donating his congressional pay
to the Renewal Coalition, a veterans reintegration program in Ju-piter. A press release said he’s doing so because federal employ-ees aren’t getting paid. The House has passed bills to retroactively pay federal employees
after the shutdown.

SHUTDOWN from page 9 Keller Williams welcomes the return of former staffers
“The grass is not always green-er,” said Kim Spears when asked why she returned to Keller Wil-liams Realty Treasure Coast. “We came back for several good reasons, but probably most-ly because of the cutting edge technology and the culture of brainstorming and sharing. KW is the only real estate company I know of that offers their agents an incentive to share ideas and techniques.” During the interview Kim men-
tioned that even while she was with another company she still received a profit share checks from KW because she had been with Keller Williams Realty more than three years and a day so she is vested for life. Another rea-son for returning she continued was the addition of a director of technology who is responsible for presenting the advanced KW technology to the agents in terms that make it easy to understand. Krista Singleton, who joined
Kim’s team as a buyer special-ist, is also happy to be back with KW and work in an atmosphere where agents are treated as busi-ness partners. Keller Williams Realty Inter-
national is now 90,000 agents strong and growing rapidly. Just 18 months after announcing the start of Keller Williams Realty’s global launch and the signing of the company’s first franchise outside of North America, KW Worldwide President Chris Heller, was thrilled to announce Keller Williams Realty’s expansion into the United Kingdom. Heller also touted the achieve-
ments of the company’s regions outside of North America and welcomed more than 100 inter-national guests from countries including Brazil, China, Colom-bia, Ghana, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Poland and Russia to the annual Mega Camp recently held in Aus-tin, Texas. “Around the globe, entrepre-

The uncertainty of the last few years, undoubtedly has causedmost of us who love fine Antique jewelry to question the decisionswe 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

Director of Everglades and Water Resources for the SFWMD, said solutions include improvements to C-44 and C-23. Lake Okeechobee water must also be cleaned and diverted south, Barnett said. Since 1994, the SFWMD has invested $1.6 billion in water quality im-provements. The governor’s cur-rent water quality plan will provide an extra $880 million over the next 12 years to improve water quality, Barnett said. Other projects that must get done is the elevation of the Tamiami Trail and Kissimmee River projects. The frequency of Lake Okeechobee releases needs to be reduced and the water sent south, he added.“As a biologist, it breaks my heart
to see what happens to these estu-aries,” Barnett said.Dr. Tom Van Lent, a senior scien-
tist for the Everglades Foundation, said the lagoon faces two major problems.“One’s a water quantity problem
and one’s a water quality problem,” he said. “And it’s kind of important to separate the two, because when we come to Congress, we’re going to be focusing on that water quan-tity problem. That is the federal jurisdiction.”Unfortunately, the system is func-
tioning the way it was made to, Van Lent said.“They’ve re-engineerd and
replumbed the whole system so that now it primarily goes out the St. Lucie Estuary. It was designed to work this way. That’s the sad fact,” Van Lent said.Mark Perry, executive director of
Florida Oceanographic Institute in Stuart, highlighted the devastation the Treasure Coast has endured because of the current system.Perry showed slides of algae
blooms and informed members of Congress that a record number of marine life has been sickened and killed in the polluted waters. Oys-ters, which purify water, have had a 99 percent mortality rate this year, Perry said.“They (algae blooms) are not
from septic tank runoff,” Perry said. “This is when we get fresh water runoff directly from Lake Okeechobee.”
About 4,300 different species are at risk, along with billions of dol-lars from tourism and jobs, Perry said.The fix lies in long-term solutions,
Van Lent said.“You’re just trying to squeeze a
few extra drops out of this lemon,” Van Lent said of short-term fixes.Long-term fixes include more land
to treat and send the flow south, local storage basins, projects to improve C-44 and C-43 and the completion of Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, which was launched in 2000.Talks about the SFWMD taking
control of the Herbert Hoover Dike from the Army Corps was a recur-ring theme throughout the four-hour meeting, held at the Rayburn House office building.“I wouldn’t buy that as is,” Vin-
yard said. “There is a significant amount of repairs that are need-ed and perhaps this would be a better discussion once some of the work has been done on the dike, because Floridians are at risk because of the condition of that dike.”
Local RoleThe only mention of Big Sugar
came from St. Lucie County Com-missioner Chris Dzadovsky, who testified during the public com-ment portion. He suggested nutri-ent reduction programs be enacted and reverse pumping of water from sugar land take place.“We’ve heard largely about water
quantity, but quality is equally as or more important as the quantity side of it,” Dzadovsky said. “Re-moving fertilizers and pesticides from water is largely what needs to occur.”During her testimony, Martin
County Commissioner Sarah Heard said the county has given $75 million to projects to imple-ment Everglades restoration and restore the Lagoon. Her plea was to state and federal lawmakers to follow through on their end.“Our federal legislators across the
board, regardless of party affilia-tion, should support the Compre-hensive Everglades Restoration

Plan,” Heard said. “You should not be timid or fearful to save the most important wetland ecosystem in the U.S. No one will find fault in you.”St. Lucie County Commissioner
Frannie Hutchinson said action must be swift.“We must act now,” Hutchinson
said. “The health of our coastal estuaries and the future of Ever-glades restoration is at stake.”Minutes after the meeting, Port
St. Lucie resident Nyla Pipes said she believes the decades-long issue may finally begin to be resolved.“We had their attention. The
fact that we had leader Pelosi in there and so many other fantastic congressmen and senators stop-ping by, especially considering that the government is currently shut down, is amazing to me,” Pipes said. “I really do think we have their attention, which tells me all our hard work is going to pay off.”Irene Nethery Gomes, owner of
the Driftwood Motel in Jensen Beach, has seen a 40 percent reduction in business. Gomes, who made the trip to Washington, D.C., said she was pleased lawmakers have opened their ears.“It was very exciting. I’ve never
seen anything quite like this. I heard a lot of different opinions, people coming together,” Gomes said. “It’s a work in progress, we’ve
got a long way to go and I think people are starting to listen. We’ve got national attention.”Like Hutchinson, Gomes said
funding for solutions must be se-cured quickly before it’s too late.“Hopefully we’ll put enough pres-
sure on to move it forward a little faster,” she said. “The problem I’m concerned about is the Indian River Lagoon dying before they get this put in place.”
This is Part 1 of a comprehensive 3-part series by Your Voice News & Views reporter Nicole Rodriguez, who travelled to Washington, D.C. to cover the lagoon crisis.

lion grant from the Departments of Housing and Urban Develop-ment’s, HUD, Sustainable Com-munities Regional Planning Grant Program. The partnership was one of 45
successful grant applicants. It hired Dover, Kohl & Partners of Coral Gables to help facilitate public meetings, gather infor-mation and facilitate drafting a regional planning guide. Public meetings started in 2012. Words such as “sustainable”
raise critics’ concerns. They say that HUD is using grant fund-ing to implementing portions of the United Nation’s Agenda 21
through regional planning proj-ects, such as Seven50. While the United States is a signatory to the international document, the Sen-ate never ratified it as a treaty. The U.N. Conference on Environ-ment and Development produced Agenda 21 in 1992 as a voluntary action plan for sustainable devel-opment. Agenda 21’s critics have long said it’s not voluntary Kum-baya, but enforced communism in cloak. The Martin Republican resolu-
tion opposing Seven50 refers to Agenda 21 numerous times. “United Nations Agenda 21 oper-
ates through ‘sustainable devel-opment’ and ‘smart growth’ pol-icies which are being enacted by
Regional Visioning Projects and other such initiatives and proj-ects, as revealed in government documents such as the one fea-turing the South Florida Regional Planning Council and ‘Seven50: Southeast Florida Prosperity Plan,’” the resolution reads. Ed Fielding, Martin County
Commissioner, Stuart, and mem-ber of the partnership’s executive committee, said such character-izations of the Seven50 Plan are simply wrong. “(Seven50) is a voluntary plan-
ning effort that is a cooperative effort by the seven counties of Southeast Florida,” Fielding said in a phone interview. “In that region, there’s about 6.5 million people. During the next 50 years, that’s expected to increase about 50 percent.” Fielding is a Republican, as is
Haddox. The Seven50 Plan should be
done sometime in February. Busha and Fielding said area
city and county commissions and councils can choose to adopt the plan or parts of it. They can also it reject it altogether, he said.Critics, such as Phyllis Frey,
co-founder of the American Coa-lition 4 Property Rights, say that the Seven50 Plan will become an enforceable document giving the partnership widespread power to veto local government’s develop-
ment decisions. “No matter what Seven50 tells
you now, they will hold all the planning control,” she told at-tendees at the recent meeting in Martin County. Fielding said that critics’ charges
that the partnership will become a megalithic overseer enforcing the Seven50 Plan is baseless. “That’s just a fantasy,” he said,
“Not even a favorable fantasy. It’s a fear.” Busha said that after the HUD
grant funding for it runs out next year, the partnership will disap-pear. What’ll be left, he said, is a document that can help local gov-ernments make planning choices for decades. Along with better relationships among the agencies responsible for planning. “The grant is over,” Busha said.
“The partnership, there are mem-bers of that partnership that may choose to stay together.” Boland, however, remains a
skeptic that Seven50 will be any-thing other than a loss of local control. “It’s not an innocuous thing
where you sit and talk,” she said. “They plan to implement these things.” At press time it’s unclear when
the Martin commission might review the Seven50 draft. Reporter Nicole Rodriguez con-
tributed to this report.

Palm City Civic Organization tilling ground for growth
PALM CITY — Odias and Kathie Smith are pulling out the weeds with plans to make the Palm City Civic Organization grow. No, seriously, the couple and
others have been pulling out exotic and invasive plant species, along with other weeds, from the organization’s two acres at 770 Southwest 34th St., Palm City. They plan to invite neighbors to plant a community garden behind the organization’s clubhouse by January. They hope the organi-zation will grow with the garden, too. “Right now, we have 21, or 22
(members),” Kathie said. Odias is the president of the or-
ganization. Kathie the secretary. The organization is tucked away
between Mapp Road and the St. Lucie River, an area called “Old Palm City.” The Smiths say it used to be a fishing and hunt-ing village with lots of part-time residents.
“You see some of the smaller homes around here — they used to be fish camps,” Kathie said. By 1940s, many of the part-time
residents felt their frequent home needed a village center, a place to
Staff photo by Patrick McCallisterOdias and Kathie Smith are president and secretary, respectively, of the Palm City Civic Organization. The group has been around since at least 1949. It’s had a membership decline in recent years. The couple is working to rebuild it with projects, such as a community garden.

I never thought anything could be more exciting than the day we said, “I do.” But moving into our own home is right up there.
I was nervous at first. There was so much we didn’t know! Thankfully, we found a mortgage loan officer who specialized in helping first-time buyers. She walked us through every step of our financing from pre-qualification1 to closing.
When she said, “I think you’ll love beinga homeowner,” there was only one thingI could say: “I do too!”

meet and socialize. “They got together and organized
themselves into a social club,” Kathie said. With a bit of donated land,
they built the organization’s clubhouse. It had some later additions. The Smiths say re-cords show the clubhouse was a hopping place with dinners, shows and other events. The civic organization also raised money for various causes, and for giving scholarships. “This went downhill since the
early 2000s,” Odias said. As membership was dwindling,
the county hit upon a plan to use some of the organization’s proper-ty for storm water drainage. The organization sued. Things ended up getting more or less amica-bly settled out of court, but not before legal expenses stressed the small group’s budget. Then the Smiths were elected to their posts in 2012. “We didn’t know when we start-
ed if we were going to survive,” Odias said. But, the organization spruced
up its signs and advertised the meeting hall for temporary rent-als. It’s $15 an hour. “Right now, we’re getting a lot
of events people can’t do in their
homes,” Kathie said. Events such as baby showers
and wedding receptions. There’s also a church that regularly meets at the organization’s build-ing. The Smiths say the rentals have
helped pay down the organiza-tion’s debts, and it’ll be back in the scholarship business. “We’re well positioned to do
three ($500) scholarships this year,” Kathie said. Additionally, the hall’s coming
back to life with social events. Earlier this year, the Palm City Civic Organization hosted a Me-morial Day event. “Well probably do a Christmas
Dinner this year,” Kathie said. The Garden Club of Stuart is
slated to have a gardening expo at the clubhouse March 22 and 23 next year. The organization is also looking
at other ideas to get more interest and members. Movies, potluck dinners, neighborhood parties. It doesn’t have a website or Face-book page. Kathie, who’s the so-cial media director of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, said she’ll likely soon put the Palm City organization on Facebook and perhaps Twitter.

This movement was started in 2001 as a grass roots campaign by a substance abuse center to inform parents about the benefits of frequent family dinners. It has since grown into a national event that promotes simple acts of parental engagement as key ways to help prevent risky substance use in children and teens. Every day activities, like eating dinner to-gether, driving to sports practices, and help-ing kids with their homework offers parents an opportunity to communicate with their kids and to really listen to what’s on their
mind. Research shows that children with hands-on parents are far less likely to smoke, drink or use other drugs. “At the Y, we want families to eat togeth-
er, play together and hopefully share a few laughs,” said Y Program Director Christina Wood. “Dinner and a movie at the pool gave everyone a chance to unwind after a long week and have some fun as a family. Plus, you don’t have to make dinner!” Before dinner started, everyone had an
opportunity to vote for their favorite pasta sauce. The first place winner was award-ed a $250 gift card to Publix. Mitchel Little, a 10-year-old, won the contest with a rich cheese sauce. His mother also entered the
contest. Over 150 adults and children attended the
evening of fun, food and film. The Y part-nered with many area businesses in order to ensure that they were able to feed everyone that attended. The night wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the Y’s volunteers and sponsors. The Y would like to thank Indiantown
Marina, Coca Cola, Michelina’s Restaurant and Catering, Dee-Stefano’s Restaurant and Catering, Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, Car-son’s Tavern, South Florida Janitorial and Pool Supply, Papa John’s Pizza, and Big Slice Pizza and Wings for their generous donation and participation in the event.

Musician makes commitment to health
STUART – Jazz musician Randy Corinthian says that he didn’t find the saxophone, the saxophone found him. In middle school, the students had electives that lasted nine weeks. His first elective was band.“The first nine weeks was band and I
never left,” he said. “From the mo-ment I started, I said ‘That’s the one. I had never heard or seen (a saxo-phone) played. I got good at it relative-ly quickly and asked to be allowed to stay in the band.”Corinthian continued his music
studies in high school, where he was
introduced to the history of music.“I really started to study my instru-
ment,” he said. “The music director exposed me to the greats.”Corinthian earned a scholarship to
Florida A & M, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in music education. He went on to get his master’s from Florida State in jazz studies and com-mercial music. Today, Corinthian is CEO of the RC
Music Group and an adjunct profes-sor of music at Broward College. In 2012, he was named one of Legacy magazine’s 40 Under 40 Black Lead-ers of Today and Tomorrow in south Florida.

He brings his jazz stylings to the Lyric Theatre on Oct. 27 for a fundraiser for the nonprofit group, Who Got Game, an orga-nization seeking to help young people make healthier lifestyle choices. It’s a subject close to his heart.“I recently had committed myself
to a healthier lifestyle,” he said. “I lost 60 pounds. I was a chubby kid and I was chubby throughout my adult life.”Through social media, Corinthi-
an connected with Kraig Hardy of Who Got Game and he agreed to do a concert. The opening act will be the David Anderson Middle School Drumline. Healthy snacks will be provided by the East Stu-art Youth Initiative Culinary Kids.Corinthian said that he has
learned that planning is a big part of making healthy choices.“You need to take charge of what
fuel you’re putting in your body,” he said. “We want to eat in the best restaurants and stay in the best hotel, but we’re not as picky about the foods we put in our body. We won’t be able to enjoy anything if we don’t have our health.”The musician noted that some-
times people who know they should eat better can’t afford to feed their families the fruits and vegetables that are so beneficial.
Often, people need to commit to changing their habits.“If we’re eating poorly from
conception to adulthood, it takes willpower and education and sup-port to follow through and make that change,” he said. “I definitely support the initiative.”Corinthian will play traditional
swing jazz, contemporary pieces and his own work. He recently released his debut album, “Bit-tersweet,” featuring many of his compositions. He is trying to in-troduce a new generation to jazz, which, ironically, is considered old and not cool by young people.“The music industry is feeding
youth a lot of bad music,” he said. “Studying music has aca-demic benefits. Some of the kids have never seen an instrument. They see jazz as old. The key is to see jazz as cool and that it’s cool to be a musician.” Randy Corinthian and the David
Anderson Middle School Band Drumline present “A Sunday After-noon of Jazz” at the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, on Oct. 27 at 4 p.m. The program is a fundraiser for the nonprofit group, Who Got Game, an organization that helps raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating and exercise to combat obesity.Tickets are $30.
