Year brought Martin Countyinteresting news

MARTIN COUNTY — The year 2013 heads to the history books. And a lot of history was made right here in Martin.

Lake Okeechobee discharges

Who can forget the infamous Army Corps of Engineers nutri-ent-rich water discharges from Lake Okeechobee that contami-nated waterways in Martin and other counties? There are about 1,000 ways to talk about it. There were congressional hearings, and state legislative delegation visits. There was international media in town for weeks. There was an atypically united Martin County Commission demanding immedi-ate and long term action from all quarters of government. And on the edges of all that was

William Bohrer, a Palm City resi-dent who was incarcerated in the Martin County Jail at the height of the contaminating discharges. Activism knows no bounds, even when activists’ options are limit-ed. Bohrer and other inmates saw

County Chairwoman Sarah Heard on television discussing the Lake O discharges and some of the things government and others could do now and in the future to reduce the contamination. They decided to regularly pray for God to help her through the difficult

time. They also sent Heard a letter

from jail urging her on in defense of the St. Lucie River and Indi-an River Lagoon. Heard was so moved, she read the letter at a commission meeting, and carried it to show Representatives when she visited Washington D.C. to demand funding for projects

Man and Martin County grow up together

PALM CITY — Any reporter gets a lot of press releases. I read all of them, because you never know when an interesting story will come along. Sometimes, you

get the bare bones of a story, and as you dig deeper, you find your-self more and more caught up in it. You can’t wait to tell the story to the reader. My editor, Tammy Raits, for-

warded a press release to me from the Kiwanis Club in Stuart, about a member who had been in the organization for 63 years. That piqued my interest. I called the man, William Oughterson. It was in the middle of the Universi-ty of Florida/Florida State foot-ball game and Mr. Oughterson, in the nicest possible way, made it clear that he was not talking with me then.A day or so later, he called me

back. He said he didn’t have a lot of time to talk because of various commitments, but he would send me some stories that had been written about him, as well as a summary of his life. If I were still interested, I could call him.It turns out that Mr. Ough-

terson’s life is the life of Martin County. In a story told to John

O’Neil in 2012 and published in the Sandhill Cove newsletter, Ougtherson recalled that his

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerThe walls around Bill Oughterson tell some of the stories of his life with keepsakes of his role in Kiwanis Club, the U.S. Navy, as an attorney in Stuart and as a collegiate tennis player with the University of Florida.

father, T.T Oughterson, settled in Stuart in 1925, in the year Martin County was formed. He opened a law office and was one of the county’s first practitioners. The family went back to Nash-ville for Bill Oughterson’s birth in 1926, but the young family returned to Stuart soon after. Oughterson graduated from

Stuart High School at 16 in 1943. It was World War II and older students had been released early to fight. He and another boy were the only two male graduates to receive their diplomas in person. As I read this material, I was

fascinated. I called Mr. Ough-terson and he talked to me for a bit. He had clearly mastered the art of ‘leave ‘em wanting more.’ The more I found out, the more I wanted to know. Oughterson attended the Cita-

del for a year and then left to join a Navy program at the University of Miami and then Midshipman’s School. He was commissioned as an ensign. “I was lying in a hospital from

an emergency appendectomy when they dropped the bomb,” he said. “I went to Japan afterward.” Oughterson was discharged

from active service, but remained in the Navy Reserve for 27 ½ years. He retired as a lieutenant

commander.Oughterson was a gifted athlete.

He had played tennis in high school and when he enrolled at the University of Florida, he joined the tennis team. He was captain of the 1949 team. He also excelled in track, competing as a hurdler and high jumper.Oughterson received his un-

dergraduate and law degrees in 1950. He returned to Stuart to practice law, joining his father in July 1950. He continued practic-ing until 2001, a career of more than half a century. At one time, the firm had two Oughtersons, a Prewitt and a Sundheim as part-ners; they were known as OOPS. Service to the community has

been a big part of Bill Oughter-son’s life, and his dedication to Kiwanis is part of that. His interest in the Kiwanis was also a legacy from his father, a charter member of the group. On the day that he was sworn in as an attor-ney in 1950, his father raised his name in membership.“As a child, I went to many

meetings,” he said. “It was differ-ent from now. The meetings took place in homes and the wives prepared the dinner.” He served as the club’s secre-

tary for 12 years, and was vice

president, president and lieutenant governor. He held local and statewide offices, includ-ing governor of the Florida District of Kiwanis International. He formed the Indiantown and Jensen Beach Kiwanis Clubs and was involved in the formation of the South Fort Pierce club. He is especially proud of the fact that over his 63 years of membership, he has a perfect at-tendance record. Oughterson also served on the board of the

Martin County Red Cross; as a director of Mar-tin Memorial Hospital and vice president of its Foundation; and as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Membership Drive. He was presi-dent of the Martin County Bar Association and was elected county prosecuting attorney for 12 years, from 1960-1972.Family has always been important to Bill

Oughterson and he and wife, Leila, have been married for 64 years. They have two children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchil-dren.If a recitation of the facts of Bill Oughterson’s

life were all we had, it would a fascinating look at his life and the life of our community. There is more to the story. Bill Oughterson has a passion for tennis.

After his college stint on the tennis team, he loved the game so much that he became a professional tennis umpire. He has some great stories to tell about Chris Evert, Katha-rine Hepburn and others. I, too, have learned something about ‘leaving ‘em wanting more,’ so those stories will wait until next week.

Seven50 votes are show over substance highlighting an inefficient commissionThe Martin County Commis-

sion spent hours in meetings the last couple months discussing Seven50. In the end, the commis-sion approved a motion to get a net nothing out of all that discus-sion. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. But — a symbolic vote that I’m skeptical accomplished anything — made a lot of people happy, so why not?The whole affair symbolizes what

I see as a largely disorganized county commission that likely could accomplish much more, or at least accomplish the same with a lot less effort. I’ve covered the Martin commission for about a year now. In that time, I’ve watched it analyze, discuss and debate things to death — then get onto meaningful actions months later. I’ve covered government for

almost two decades. I’ve watched a lot of city and county com-missions and councils. I’ve seen good, functional ones that got things accomplished, and inef-ficient, dysfunctional ones that dutifully met regularly for verbal slug-fests worthy of ticket sales. The Martin Commission falls in between, sort of leaning toward the latter. Not quite worthy of ticket sales, but popcorn maybe. Frankly, what I saw in the Sev-

en50 discussion and vote by the Martin County Commission at its Tuesday, Dec. 17 meeting was a huge waste of valuable governing time that could have been spent seeking solutions to real prob-lems. Thing is, Martin’s not alone.

The St. Lucie County Commission did pretty much the same thing at a special meeting last month — discussed and voted to get out of the Seven50 done deal. At least St. Lucie had a special meeting that didn’t cut into regular com-mission meeting time to do it. Seven50 is shorthand for the

Southeast Florida Regional Partnership and its end product, the Seven50 Southeast Florida Prosperity Plan. The temporary partnership and its regional vi-sion report are together common-ly called “Seven50.” The “Seven” in Seven50 is for seven counties, Broward, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties. The “50” is for 50 years.A lot of folks don’t know much

about it. That’s because Seven50 falls into the arcane arena of government where everything’s

spoken in acronyms and jargon by elected officials, government employees, consultants, report-ers and a handful of interest advocates who show up at all the public meetings no one else ever heard of. Quick, translate CDBG. MPO?

DRI? TCRPC? Get the picture? Seven50 was rooted in a $4.25

million grant from the Depart-ments of Housing and Urban Development’s Sustainable Com-munities Regional Planning Grant Program that got some consul-tants hired to facilitate those public meetings no one shows for except interest advocates to pro-duce a report that’ll likely end up being shelf decorations in assis-tant city managers’ offices.But Seven50 lived in a seemingly

cryptic world where people speak a special language. It’s a world that concerns reasonable people for good causes. It’s the world that allowed officials in Bell, Calif., to live lavish lifestyles on the backs of middleclass taxpay-ers for an indefensibly long time before investigations and prose-cutions started. It’s also a world where one can unreasonably draw enough strained connec-tions to find the coming apoca-lypse. That’s what happened with

Seven50. Some started finding in it a coming United Nations world takeover plan launched from the ashes of communism’s fall in the 1990s. And their opposition to Seven50 came really, really late in the game. Not in 2010 when counties and cities were discuss-

ing and signing memorandums of understanding to participate in the regional planning pro-gram, but after most of the public meetings were done and reports started. The draft of the final Seven50

Southeast Florida Prosperity Plan is done and online for all to read. The partnership self terminates in February after the obligatory and symbolic final meeting of the executive committee. The Martin County Commission

voted to opt out of Seven50 in February and have no addition-al participation with the ad hoc partnership without additional discussion. Had the commission not taken this 4-1 vote, the coun-ty’s participation in the ad hoc partnership would have ended in February, and it would have had no additional participation with-out commission discussion. That’s what your county com-

mission spent about two hours deciding at their last meeting. I’m not saying the Martin Com-

mission is a do-nothing body. It has accomplishments under its belt this year. For example, the commission renegotiated its way into a much better contract with the Business Development Board of Martin County. But that dragged on for needless months and took soap-opera turns along with way. In some regards, the biggest

space at the county’s adminis-tration building is the room for improvement. Patrick McCallister is a staff writ-

er for Your Voice News & Views.

aimed at reducing future Lake O discharges.

Pillowcase burglaries

Ah, yes, pillowcase burglaries. At press time, there’ve been about 108 known pillowcase burglaries in Martin County over the last two years. And more than 60 of the smash-grab-and-run thieves have been busted by the Sheriff’s Office. Shortly after taking office, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder launched an aggressive public-awareness campaign teaching citizens how to protect themselves from, spot and report the criminal activity.It worked. The county went

almost two months without any suspected pillowcase burglaries, October to December. The most frightening, and inspir-

ing, story that came out of the pillowcase burglaries was about 16-year-old Palm City lad Bryce

Miranda. The youth was home, alone, when the burglars came knocking. He did everything right. Miranda barricaded himself, called 911, and gave dispatchers detailed observations that quickly landed three bad guys in jail with bonds that exceeded $1 million each.

Veterans Memorial Bridge

Construction on the Veterans Memorial Bridge to add a second over-the-river connection between Palm City and Stuart started before 2013. At first, projections were to have the overall nearly $120 million project — when road work is included — completed by summer. A wet year kept pushing that back for those working on the bridge portion of the project. Indeed, the bridge wasn’t com-pleted by the Nov. 16 dedication ceremony. The grumbling got louder, but

When opportunity knocks, open the doorIf you’ve been around long-

time investors, you’ll probably hear them say, ruefully, “If only I had gotten in on the ground floor of such-and-such computer or social media company, I’d be rich today.” That may be true — but is it really relevant to anyone? Do you have to be an early inves-tor of a spectacular company to achieve investment success?Not really. Those early investors

of the “next big thing” couldn’t have fully anticipated the tremen-dous results enjoyed by those companies. But these investors all had one thing in common: They were ready, willing and able to look for good opportunities. And that’s what you need to do,

too. Of course, you may never snag the next big thing, but that’s not the point. If you’re going to be a successful investor, you need to be diligent in your search for new opportunities. And these opportu-nities don’t need to be brand-new to the financial markets — they can just be new to you.

For example, when you look at your investment portfolio, do you see the same types of invest-ments? If you own mostly aggres-sive growth stocks, you have the possibility of gains — but, at the same time, you do risk taking losses, from which it may take years to recover. On the other

hand, if you’re “overloaded” with certificates of deposit (CDs) and Treasury bills, you may enjoy protection of principal but at the cost of growth potential, because these investments rarely offer much in the way of returns. In fact, they may not even keep up with inflation, which means that if you own too many of them, you will face purchasing-power risk. To avoid these problems, look for opportunities to broaden your holdings beyond just one or two asset classes.Here’s another way to take ad-

vantage of opportunities: Don’t take a “time out” from invest-ing. When markets are down, people’s fears drive them to sell investments whose prices have declined — thereby immediately turning “paper” losses into real ones — rather than holding on to quality investment vehicles and waiting for the market to recover. But successful investors are often rewarded when they not only hold

Dreaming Up


the bridge-construction project manager, George Denti, wouldn’t be deterred from getting the 100-year design built right instead of fast. If the weather wasn’t perfect for it, the cement wasn’t poured. In the late afternoon on Friday,

Dec. 20, crews quietly moved the barricades, thus opening the bridge to traffic. Within hours, Veterans Memorial had dozens of cars at any moment crossing it.

Comp plan amendments

The 2012 County Commission elections were marked by conten-tious debates about the Martin County Growth Management Plan. By all reckoning, those who supported stiffening the comp plan nearer to its original form won the electoral debates. Among them was current District 5 Com-missioner John Haddox, Palm City. What’s often called “The new county commission” spent 2013 living up to electoral promises to reverse previous changes. Among the most contentious

amendments the commission made involved shoreline protec-tions. In many cases, the amend-ments extended constructible areas along shorelines from 25 to 75 feet. Another contentious issue was amendments requiring supermajority commission votes to make future changes to the comp plan.

BDB contract

Another contentious issue for the new county commission to tackle in 2013 was the Business Development Board of Martin County. More accurately, the issue was a 2009 contract that started at $625,000. By 2013 it was $643,000, due to contractual increases. None of that sat well with the

new commissioners elected in 2012. In a 3-2 vote, the commission

suspended contractual payments to the board in April, and started a lengthy and prickly renegotia-tion. By November the county and

board inked a new contract worth $430,000 the first year. That drops to $340,000 in the sec-ond and $260,000 in the third years. Additionally, the county will match some private funding the BDB develops in the second and third years to a maximum of an additional $100,000 a year. The aim is to ultimately remove the BDB from the county’s gener-al fund budget. The county gets about $260,000 in occupation-al license fees a year, and the commission hopes to make that the exclusive source of the BDB’s funding.

Proposed sales tax

Not all went as smoothly for the new commission. Back in the summer, it considered a proposed 1-cent local-option sales tax that could have been meant about $20 million a year for a decade, which would have help the county to catch up on about $225 million in lagging capital maintenance and improvements. Voters would have to approve any proposed local-option tax. At the Aug. 20 regular meeting,

the commission killed the then proposed sales tax, so it didn’t go to a special election in ‘13. Call it the Lazarus tax. Come

December it rose from the dead. At least on the county commis-sion it had a resurrection. The commission directed staff to prepare local-option sales tax proposals ranging from half a cent for three years to a full cent for 10. If the commission accepts one in 2014, voters will have a say in November. If adopted by the commission and voters, the new local-option tax will start in January, 2015.However much it is, and for

however long.

MARTIN COUNTY — After nu-merous protests from the public, the county is joining a small exo-dus out of the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership and its end product, the Seven50 Southeast Florida Prosperity Plan. Both combined and individually are called “Seven50.” At its Tuesday, Dec. 17 meeting,

the County Commission voted to make Martin the third county to opt out of Seven50. The opt out will be effective in February. Addi-tionally, the commission voted to have no additional participation with the ad hoc southeast Florida partnership without discussion. Had the commission not taken

the 4-1 vote, the county’s partic-ipation in the partnership would have ended in February, and it would have had no additional participation without commis-sion discussion. The partnership self-terminates on Feb. 22. In a telephone interview af-

ter the meeting, Commissioner Doug Smith, Jensen Beach, said that the net result of the vote is nothing gained, but appeasing spectacle that’ll please a segment of voters. “The work is done,” he said in a

previous interview. “The draft re-port is out. Regardless of whether we get out or not, the report is done.”

At the meeting, Smith told fellow commissioners that an opt out vote might signal an unwilling-ness to work with surrounding counties in future projects aimed at regional planning. “To turn a blind eye to the fact

we may have three million-plus (more) people in south Florida is irresponsible if you ask me,” he said. John Haddox, Palm City, dis-

agreed. “It’s a statement by the commu-

nity made through the commis-sion that we don’t support top-down government,” he said.He said that the estimated pop-

ulation growth of three million people over the next 50 years was highly speculative and not a sound basis for regional plan-ning. The partnership released the

first draft of the Seven50 report on Oct. 11. The report is a compi-lation of data gathered at public meetings and other places to give area governments data and ideas about how to plan for up to an anticipated 50 percent popula-tion growth in South Florida from about 6 million now to 9 million by 2060.Martin followed St. Lucie, which

opted out at a special meeting in early November. St. Lucie fol-lowed Indian River. The “Seven” in Seven50 is for

college credits for free started in Florida, districts are paying for dual-enrolled students at state colleges this year. Palm City parent Michael DiTer-

lizzi loves dual enrollment. It’s helped his family afford college. But, Martin County School Board member Michael DiTerlizzi soured on it after the Florida Legislature made the change during its last 60-day session. Now there’s a lurking variable in the district’s expenses that can’t be accurately budgeted for. Indian River State College is

charging the district $71.98 a credit. That’s less than off-the-street

students pay, and is based on an agreement reached between the district and IRSC. But, it’s $71.98 a credit that the district has no choice but to pay. State law mandates that if a stu-

dent qualifies for and wants dual enrollment, he or she gets it. The district can’t turn off the financial faucet at any point. That creates a conundrum, because state laws require school districts to have balanced budgets, limits what they can collect in property taxes, and punishes them for going below certain levels in reserves. All that requires careful, exact budgeting. DeTerlizzi compared the new

charges for dual enrollment to giving IRSC a signature line on the school district’s checks.

County High girls roll Baker 300

Bowling a 300 game is fantastic. Five team members all throw-ing perfect games at once? Well that’s a Baker 300. And they’re rare. Very, very rare. The Martin County High Bowling Tigresses pulled it off this year. They’re the first high school team to do that in Florida. Ever. Palm City’s Shelly Goodwin

had to toss the final frames that decided whether the girls would bowl a great game, or a histo-ry-making one. By then, every-thing else in the building had

stopped, and all eyes were on her.No pressure. The ladies did the amazing feat

at the Florida High School Ath-letic Association’s state finals in November at Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando. Their Baker 300 is recorded into perpetuity at the United States Bowling Congress.

A hero’s farewell toSheriff’s Sgt. Gary Morales

A heartbroken community,

family and close to 2,000 law en-forcement officers from across the country mourned the death of St. Lucie County Sherriff’s Sgt. Gary Morales, 35, at Westside Baptist Church in Fort Pierce March 4 as they bid farewell to the fallen hero who died in the line of duty on Feb. 28 doing what those close to him said God placed him on Earth to do: help and protect his fellow man. Morales’ children live in Palm City, and he was later laid to rest at the Forest Hill Me-morial Park in Palm City. More than 4,000 attended the

viewing and service. Gov. Rick Scott and Florida Attorney Gen-eral Pam Bondi were among those who attended to pay their respects. On the morning of Feb. 28, Mo-

rales radioed in a stop and pur-suit on a maroon, late-model Toy-ota Corolla near Oleander Avenue in Fort Pierce at 9:28 a.m. Ac-cording to dispatch chatter, 1:57 later, shots were fired on Naylor Terrace. Morales, who was seated in his patrol cruiser, gun still hol-stered, was fatally wounded. He was shot in the side of the head, neck and arm. Eriese Tisdale, 26, of Fort Pierce, was charged with Morales’ murder and is facing the death penalty. Tisdale, who said he shot the deputy in self-de-fense, is in a Martin County jail awaiting trial, which is expected to begin later next year. Initial coverage began in the

on to investments during declines but also increase their holdings by purchasing investments whose prices have fallen — or adding new shares to existing invest-ments — thereby following the first rule of investing: Buy low. When the market rises again, these investors should see the value of their new investments, or the shares of their existing ones, increase in value. (Keep in mind, though, that, when investing in stocks, there are no guarantees; some stocks do lose value and may never recover.)Instead of looking for that one

great “hit” in the form of an early

investment in a skyrocketing stock, you’re better off by seeking good opportunities in the form of new investments that can broad-en your existing portfolio or by adding additional shares, at good prices, to your existing invest-ments. These moves are less glitzy and glamorous than getting in on the ground floor of the next big thing – but, in the long run, they may make you look pretty smart indeed.Jamie Chapogas is a financial

Dengue fever outbreak

Dengue fever’s tight grip on the Treasure Coast has finally loos-ened. The Florida Department of Health in Martin County an-nounced an end to a months-long dengue fever advisory in Rio and Jensen Beach. The advisory was issued in August and put resi-dents on high alert of the mos-quito-borne illness that infected a total of 22 on the Treasure Coast. Cases were from out-of-state, St.

Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach counties, said Karlette Peck,

health officer for the Florida Department of Health in Martin County. The onset of symptoms ranged from May to September, Peck said.“The risk has significantly de-

creased. It doesn’t mean it’s gone, but if you get bit by a mosquito, it’s less likely that mosquito is infected with the dengue virus,” Peck said.The 22 cases acquired in Mar-

tin County are the nation’s first this year and the only outbreak. Miami-Dade County had one con-firmed case. Initial coverage began in the

MARTIN COUNTY — Identity thieves and credit fraudsters were working the holiday season at others’ expense. Certainly there are Martin County residents who unwittingly added to their illicit holiday cheer. “Every time I speak to people, I

talk about identity theft,” Sheriff William Snyder said. “It’s not as dramatic as (pillowcase burglar-ies), but it costs Martin County 10 times more.” While shoppers were checking

off holiday shopping lists, so were identity thieves. Holiday shop-ping often camouflages bad buys’ illicit uses of others’ credit- and debit-card information. Laura Passanesi, community programs, Martin County Sheriff’s Office, said the best defense against these shadowy thieves is the same as for others — awareness. Look closely at credit-card bills and bank statements, she said. “Every month, more so at

Christmas time,” she said. There are different sorts of iden-

tity thieves and credit fraudsters. Of course, there’s the stereotype: a darkly young fella in another country hacking international banks, stealing thousands’ in-formation and selling it over the Internet to the highest bidders. But there’re others. For example, family members and their friends. Passanesi said account and

identity information, along with unsupervised debit and credit cards, should be secured behind

locks no matter how trustworthy the people who traverse a house seem to be. “We would like to see everybody

have a safe bolted to the floor,” she said. Birth certificates and Social

Security cards should be in those safes, along with financial and account information. “Do not carry your Social Securi-

ty card with you,” Passanesi said. “You’d be surprised by how many people do that.” Obsolete financial information,

such as old monthly bank state-ments, shouldn’t head out of the house intact. “One of the best things (people)

can do is buy a shredder and use

The celebration of the new year on January 1st is a relatively new phenomenon. The earliest recording of a new year celebration is believed to have been in Mesopotamia, c. 2000 B.C. and was celebrated around the time of the vernal equinox, in mid-March. A variety of other dates tied to the seasons were also used by various ancient cultures. The Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Persians began their new year with the fall equinox, and the Greeks celebrated it on the winter solstice.Early Roman Calendar: March 1st Rings in the New YearThe early Roman calendar designated March 1 as the new year. The calendar had just ten months, beginning with March. That the new year once began with the month of March is still reflected in some of the names of the months. September through December, our ninth through twelfth months, were originally positioned as the seventh through tenth months (septem is Latin for “seven,” octo is “eight,” novem is “nine,” and decem is “ten.”

January Joins the CalendarThe first time the new year was celebrated on January 1st was in Rome in 153 B.C. (In fact, the month of January did not even exist until around 700 B.C., when the second king of Rome, Numa Pontilius, added the months of January and February.) The new year was moved from March to January because that was the beginning of the civil year, the month that the two newly elected Roman consuls—the highest officials in the Roman republic—began their one-year tenure. But this new year date was not always strictly and widely observed, and the new year was still sometimes celebrated on March 1.Julian Calendar: January 1st Officially Instituted as the New YearIn 46 B.C. Julius Caesar introduced a new, solar-based calendar that was a vast improvement on the ancient Roman calendar, which was a lunar system that had become wildly inaccurate over the years. The Julian calendar decreed that the new year would occur with January 1, and within the Roman world, January 1 became the consistently observed start of the new year.Middle Ages: January 1st Abolished

In medieval Europe, however, the celebrations accompanying the new year were considered pagan and un-christian like, and in 567 the Council of Tours abolished January 1 as the beginning of the year. At various

times and in various places throughout medieval Christian Europe, the new year was celebrated on Dec. 25, the birth of Jesus; March 1; March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation; and Easter.Gregorian Calendar: January 1st RestoredIn 1582, the Gregorian calendar reform restored January 1 as new year’s day. Although most Catholic countries adopted the Gregorian calendar almost immediately, it was only gradually adopted among Protestant countries. The British, for example, did not adopt the reformed calendar until 1752. Until then, the British Empire —and their American colonies— still celebrated the new year in March.

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-lion grant from the Departments

of Housing and Urban Develop-ment’s, HUD, Sustainable Com-munities Regional Planning Grant Program. The partnership and report have

been a flashpoint of public an-ger that inspired the creation of an opposition group, the Ameri-can Coalition 4 Property Rights. Words such as “sustainable” raise some critics’ concerns.

it,” Passanesi said. Some financial and identity

information has to head to the world intact. Say, mailed pay-ments. “Don’t mail things from your

house,” Passanesi said. “Take it to the Post Office.” Another thing, always use debit

as credit cards, and avoid using ATMs, automatic teller machines.“Don’t trust any stores,” Passa-

nesi said.The stores are most likely on the

up and up. However, that darkly young fella in another country is hacking them, along with banks. If a store’s card swipe automat-ically prompts for a debit code, Passanesi said to ask the cashier for instructions to opt for using credit instead.Passanesi recommends that peo-

ple frequently use annualcredit-report.com. The three major credit reporting agencies jointly operate the site to comply with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act’s requirement to offer free, annual credit reports. Passanesi said each of the three must give folks a free credit report once a year on request. She said folks should use the service to check their credit reports three times a year. Martin County residents who

detect illicit activity on their accounts, whether they opened them or not, should contact the appropriate financial institutions. Additionally, she said it’s good

to contact the Sheriff’s Office. The identity thieves and credit fraud-sters could be working locally and the more information investiga-tors get the better.

IRS PROBLEMS? DELINQUENT TAX FILINGS?WE CAN HELP

Here is one reason to hire us:

A new client recently came to us and hired us to file for tax years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The client anticipated owing about $50,000.

We prepared the delinquent tax returns and it turned out the cli-ent owed just a little over half that amount, including penalties and interest. By paying just few hundred dollars to get the unpaid liability to under $25,000 the client was able to qualify for the IRS Streamline Installment Agreement. Now the client is mak-ing monthly payments, is caught up with tax filings and sleeps at night!

Keep in mind, the longer you wait to file those old tax returns, the more penalty and interest you are going to pay. More importantly you want to file those delinquent tax returns before the Criminal Investigation Division comes knocking on your door looking for them.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Hours of recorded jailhouse phone calls made by Eriese Tisdale reveal inconsistencies in the accused murder’s version of events before and after he gunned down Sher-iff’s Sgt. Gary Morales almost a year ago.During police interrogations the

day of the shooting, Tisdale, 26, told investigators he was going to a nearby store to pick up a soda for his pregnant girlfriend, who lived a block away. Tisdale was pulled over leaving

the store empty-handed.In a collect call to family mem-

bers later that day, Tisdale said he was leaving the store when

The U22 Neos features an integral rail that accepts weaver-style scope mounts and a fully adjustable target rear sight. It comes with a 10-round single stack magazine made from Inox steel.

$408 Regular Price UPC: 798681437214

Only 90% the size of a P226, the Mosquito, chambered in 22lr, is the ideal choice for hours of shooting fun. Its wear-re-

sistant polymer frame and integral accessory rail is ergonomically designed to enhance accuracy and provide a better all-around

shooting experience. Additional features include a rigged blow-back system, fixed barrel and adjustable rear sight. It’s also loaded with safety features including a decocking lever and

the automatic drop safety you’d expect in a Sig Sauer pistol. It is further enhanced with an ambidextrous manual slide mounted

safety, magazine safety and internal locking device.

$642 Regular Price UPC: 798681436545The Sig Sauer P250 was designed specifically to address the future needs of the military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters around the world. The P250 is available in the most popular calibers (9mm, .40S&W and .45ACP, 380ACP). The P250’s innovative design enables the shooter to quickly remove the functional mechanism and place it into the polymer grip of his choice. This allows an immediate change in caliber and size (subcompact, compact and full).

Morales, 35, turned on his lights. There is no evidence Tisdale made a purchase for the intended goods inside. “I just went to the store around

the corner, was coming back home and he made like a U-turn. I’m coming from the opposite way,” Tisdale told a cousin. “He just jumped out of the car and was saying, ‘Get out of the car, get out of the car, why you ain’t stop?’”Tisdale continued with his ver-

sion of events.“I said, ‘No I ain’t getting out of

the car,’ and I just took off and I just kept riding, then they went to chasing me,” he said.On the morning of Feb. 28,

Morales radioed in the stop and pursuit on a maroon, late-model Toyota Corolla near Oleander Av-enue in Fort Pierce at 9:28 a.m. According to dispatch chatter, 1:57 later, shots were fired on Naylor Terrace. Morales, who was seated in his patrol cruiser, gun still holstered, was fatally wound-ed. He was shot in the side of the head, neck and arm.Evidence released in August by

the state attorney’s office may ex-plain why Tisdale had no receipt or goods from the store and shed light on why Morales pursued Tisdale.Raymond Gleason, 39, a self-de-

scribed crack addict originally from Dania Beach, said he met up with Tisdale the morning of Feb. 28 to get crack cocaine. Gleason told sheriff’s investiga-

tors during a recorded interview that Tisdale had been his regular drug dealer since Gleason began living in Fort Pierce during the beginning of February.Gleason said Tisdale gave him

a handful of crack in plain sight near where the shooting took place. No money on hand, Tisdale told Gleason to pay him later.A search of Tisdale’s girlfriend’s

home on Mura Drive, where Tisdale was staying, recovered a .44 Magnum pistol and ammuni-tion, a sawed-off Remington 870 shotgun loaded with four rounds of ammunition and ammunition

for a .45 caliber pistol, docu-ments state. A trace of the shot-gun showed the gun was reported stolen from the home of a Riviera Beach police officer in July 2007.Authorities also found $500

stashed in a Bible, 17 pieces of crack cocaine, a digital scale and a makeshift greenhouse in a closet where Tisdale was growing his own marijuana, an evidence report states. Tisdale was unem-ployed at the time, documents state.During his first week in custody,

Tisdale placed 25 calls to family members, totaling more than six hours.In early calls, Tisdale said he

accepted his fate.“Obviously, you know I ain’t

never getting out, you know what I mean, I’m just glad – at least I’m alive or whatever, but …”As the conversations progressed,

Tisdale reflected on being absent from his unborn son’s life, add-ing if he were a free man, law enforcement officers would have prevented him from making a living.“Now that I’m sitting here think-

ing about it, I’m like, you know, this probably ain’t the place for me because, I can be out and do stuff with my son and I’d be around, just to be around, but at the same time it’s like, that’s not no life if I can’t even provide and I can’t even, you know what I mean, make sure that he’d be all right,” Tisdale said.During the recorded phone calls,

Tisdale told a family member oth-er conflicting statements. “I jumped out of the car and was

about to run and then he had got out of the car,” Tisdale said.“... And that’s when the other

deputies came, to whatever, and you know, I was just in fear for my life, ‘cause I didn’t know if he was going to get out of the car and try to kill me.”Throughout his conversations,

Tisdale maintained his self-de-fense claim.“I ain’t injured at all. I ain’t got

no bruises, no nothing and I told the police, they interviewed me

and whatever, and I told them I didn’t wish death on nobody,” Tisdale said. “It wasn’t like that ... It was just the way that he approached me, like he wanted to inflict harm on me. It wasn’t like it was intentional to try and harm nobody.”Tisdale, who is facing the death

penalty, voiced his fear of such a sentence.“Hopefully I get it to where I get

to sit in here and hopefully they don’t give me no penalty and try to kill me,” Tisdale said.He also talked about penning

the Morales family a letter.Tisdale, who never mentioned

Morales by name during his first week in jail, said the letter will contain his life story.“I’m going to tell them how I feel

and express my sorrow for them, because, obviously you know I’ve had family members taken out of my life before, numerous times,” Tisdale told his girlfriend.“… They probably don’t want to

hear from me, but I want to give them a clearer picture of who I am,” Tisdale said in another conversation with his mother. He said he’ll write and send the letter “when the time is right.”

their art is a special commemo-ration of their friendship as well as of their artwork. They are especially grateful to the Kevin Sharkey family, Louise Murtaugh, and the devoted staff, volunteers, and sponsors of Molly’s Gallery for giving them the opportunity to display their paintings together. Carol Kepp is a well-known and

beloved artist/teacher who is known for painting serene, soft, and peaceful seascapes, enchant-ing landscapes, and exquisite flo-rals, often using painting knives along with her brushes. She has been referred to as “Stuart’s Mi-chelangelo” due to the 8 gigantic murals she painted and are now installed at St. Martin de Porres Church in Jensen Beach. She has won numerous awards through-out Florida for her oil paintings which are in private collections in Canada and the USA. Visit downtown Stuart’s Rare

Earth Gallery to purchase Carol’s paintings or call (772) 288-6371 for private viewings. Jane Blatt, who paints as

“EJAN,” is a Backus award-win-ning artist who was recently nominated for the Arts Coun-cil of Martin County’s mARTies

“Outstanding Visual Artist” of 2014. She is known for her richly textured, realistic oil paintings of Florida’s majestic avian feathered friends, painted with toothpicks, feathers, painting knives, fan brushes, and anything needed to capture the intricate details of her subject matter. Still-lifes and Encaustic Wax Painting are her latest passions. View jane-ejan-blatt.com, the Helping People Succeed “Art for Living Calen-dars” of 2013 and 2014, the Rare Earth Gallery in downtown Stu-art, or call (772) 341-7022 to view or purchase Jane’s art. Paulette Winn, previous own-

er of Banbury Cross Bakery in Hobe Sound, began painting with watercolors but soon switched to oils to create astonishingly haunting florals, landscapes, and scenes of daily life and wild life, not always mutually exclusive! She was recently awarded

“Honorable Mention” for her “Trio of Irises”, which captures the exuberance of the flowers straight from her own backyard. She is an avid gardener who photographs and paints her own blooms. Drawing is her forte, which is be-coming a lost art in our comput-er-generated days of high-tech-nology, digital art, and projectors.

Susie Fowler grew up in Mi-ami surrounded by the beauty of nature and the ocean which led to her love of sea life. She was captivated by her sister’s underwater photo of a lionfish and painted it larger-than-life as a quest for public awareness of its harmful effects along with its beauty. Entitled “Kaleidoscope,” it may be viewed in the Helping People Succeed 2014 “Art for Liv-ing Calendar.” One of Susie’s other paintings,

“Spring Leaves”, was selected for the same HPS calendar in 2013 and was awarded first place in a juried art competition. She is known for her vibrant use of color and eye for intense detail. Her paintings may be viewed and purchased at Taste Restaurant in Hobe Sound or by calling (772) 486-5366. The public is welcome to view

fine art, sip champagne, and listen to the music of Anthony Martin at this Thursday, Jan. 2, Champagne Reception of “4 Women 4 Art.” A portion of all sales will benefit

Molly’s Gallery which is located at 430 S.E. Osceola St. in Stuart. A $5 donation is greatly appre-ciated. For further information, contact (772) 223-6659 or www.MollysHouse.org.

YMCA’s 5k run has more than health benefits

MARTIN COUNTY — On Sat-urday, Dec. 15, the YMCA of the Treasure Coast hosted its annual Jingle Bell 5K Run at the Stuart Y location. With a little help from Congressman Patrick E. Murphy, the Y provided a morning of ac-tivity to about 200 runners and their families. This annual event, which is in its fifth year, also col-

lects toys for Y families struggling to provide a full and wonderful Christmas for their children. This year, the Y has a list of a hundred families in Stuart, Port St. Lucie and Indiantown that they hope to provide toys for. During the opening ceremonies,

Murphy thanked the race partici-pants for coming out and for sup-

Toys for Tots luncheon committee members Susan Clifford, Marilyn Hamblet, and Bonnie Larson. A carful of Toys for Tots to be delivered by Carol Rohde Toys for Tots from Palm City Art Associates 2013. For the third December in a row, members of the Palm City Art As-sociates celebrated the spirit of the holidays by bringing “Toys-for-Tots” to their luncheon at La Borgata Restaurant in Palm City. They also generously opened their pocketbooks and wallets for a 50/50 drawing to benefit Martin County college-bound high school art students. The luncheon committee provided an afternoon filled with comaraderie & con-viviality, charity for children, and laughter and love, along with the gastronomical delights provided by La Borgata. Each year, PCAA says, ‘YES, Virginia, there is a Santa and he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood!’ He lives in the hearts and minds of the men, women, and children of Martin County and artists of the Palm City Art Associates.In addition to having fun and giving charitably, the Palm City Art Associates present an artistic demonstration at each of their 1 p.m. meetings on the second Wednesday of every month at the Cummings Library, 2551 S.W. Matheson Ave in Palm City. (772) 288-2551. The public is always welcome to attend these demonstrations free-of-charge but BE SURE TO GET YOUR 50/50 TICKETS to support the League’s Scholarship Fund. For further infor-mation, contact President Nancy Steinberg at [email protected].

Giving spirit

porting the Y. “It’s great to see such support for

the great work that the YMCA of the Treasure Coast is doing in our community and to donate toys to children who are less fortunate — truly embracing what the holidays are all about: giving back,” Mur-phy said. Murphy then ran the 5K and

placed third in his age group. He also helped with handing out the awards to the winners of each age division. After the 5K race was completed,

the Y also held a one mile fun-run for kids. Twenty-five kids partici-pated; the youngest being 3 years

old. Every child received an award. The Jingle Bell Run event gives

the Y a platform to address the community and thank them for their participation and support of the of the Y’s Annual Campaign throughout the year. At the Y, membership and program ser-vices are provided to all who de-sire to participate. The Y’s Annual Campaign provides financial as-sistance for these services to those that qualify. Although the race col-lected over 200 toys, the Y contin-ues to collect new, unwrapped toys and new shoes for those in need. If you would like to donate, please contact Christina Wood at (772) 286-4444 or [email protected].

STUART — There’s a dance party in South Beach, Miami, and you’re invited. The area has long been the center for night life and entertainment in that city. Now a show, “Dance Your Pants Off,” pays homage to 70 years of music and musicians who performed in the area or called it home. The show begins in the era of

the Big Bands, at the fictitious South Beach Supper Club, a sing and jazz club in the heart of Mi-ami. The club comes to life with the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett and others as dancers perform the foxtrot, quick step and jive. The years progress and Elvis

Presley takes the stage. He is featured because he performed with Sinatra at the famed Fon-tainebleau Hotel in South Beach. Dancers do a jive to ‘Hound Dog” and a rumba to “I Can’t Help Fall-ing in Love with You.” Music from the Beatles is next,

with solo dancers interpreting “Yesterday” and “Let it Be.” The Fab Four came to Miami and taped their second appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” at the Deauville Beach Resort. The 1970s arrive and the South

Dance show brings Miami to lifeShelley KoppelStaff writer

Twenty-nine of the foremost and progressive women of Stuart met at the Epworth League Hall on October, 1913 and organized the Stuart Woman’s Club. They wanted something to do, and they wanted to do something for their community. Little did they realize their descendants would have that same goal 100 years later. Their mission statement says

it very well: “a group of women united by a dedication to commu-nity improvement through volun-teer service.” Volunteering, raising funds,

and reaching out to others while experiencing lifelong learning and friendship for all members was their goal. There was diversity in ages, interests and experience, are all were united by a common goal.

One of their first projects was to purchase wooden barrels, painted green with a white stripe, and the word ‘TRASH’, distribute them around town hoping residents would use them.. A Stuart Times article on Octo-

ber 31 stated “the organization of a Woman’s Club in Stuart is a grand move and is going to help in the building of one of the prettiest little towns on the east coast. …They intend to go ahead and make improvements where needed the most, but will lush to where the men folk did not dare to tread.” On the 23rd day of May 1914,

they gave legal notice of their intention to incorporate. Their charter stated the club was formed to: Establish and main-

“There is a reason why the sea-food is so delicious,” says Edward “Butch” Olsen Jr., president of the Port Salerno Commercial Fishing Dock Authority. “We serve the freshest seafood and locally caught fish when possi-ble. The majority of our seafood is prepared by the fishermen and their families. This is truly a fam-ily affair.” The event also features Port Salerno’s finest restaurants. This year our festival was voted

the “Best Local Event in Martin County” by Scripps Treasure Coast Newspaper’s readers. We will feature two stages with some of the area’s top bands perform-ing. The Boys & Girls Club of Martin County will be running our “Kids Fun Zone”. This is a large fenced in area in the festival dedicated to fun children’s activ-ities. Great place for the young-sters to get their fill of Festival Fun! The admission will be $5 for

adults and children 12 and under are free. The festival will also provide complimentary transpor-tation to and from the event via trolley or water taxi. A portion of the proceeds is distributed to lo-cal charities. In 2013, the festival

made contributions to The Boys & Girls Club of Martin County, Keep Martin Beautiful Coastal Cleanup, Martin County Lifesav-ers, Marine Industries Associ-ation of the Treasure Coast’s TC Waterway Cleanup, Port Salerno Little League, Port Salerno Pine Rest Cemetery, Port Salerno United Methodist Church, the Road to Victory Museum and the Stuart-Sunrise Rotary Club. The Port Salerno Seafood Festi-

val is unique in the fact that this one day event attracts 35,000 attendees and is run mostly by volunteers. “We truly rely on our volunteers

to make this event successful and we need approximately 600 peo-ple to set up, serve refreshments, sell tickets, T-shirts and more,” Olsen said.

If you are interested in volunteer-ing, sponsoring or being a vendor at this year’s event, visit the web-site www.PortSalernoSeafoodFes-tival.org or contact April Price at (772) 285-1646. The Port Salerno Seafood Fes-

tival, Inc. is a not-for-profit trade association dedicated to preserv-ing the heritage and integrity of the commercial fishing industry in Port Salerno.

public library which members manned without government assistance. They bought a build-ing in 1920 and moved the library there. After 30+ years, there was no room to house the old books, let along housing new books. They launched a “library cam-paign” in April, 1955, and, after 40 years of operating the library, created a citizen’s group known as the Martin County Library Association, and donated their books. January, 1957, Stuart News wrote: “Simple ground breaking ceremonies were held this week for the new public li-brary building .”A hospital known as the St.

Lucie Sanitarium was opened in 1926.Beautification was ongoing.

Trees were planted, parks were dedicated. And the women en-joyed working together, getting to know one another, while making friends.Members raise money and they

give it away. A major thrust is scholarships which in 2013 amounted to $16,000.00’, money to buy medicine for women with breast cancer they could not oth-erwise afford, food for the hungry, meals for the homeless, under-wear and magazines for veterans, trees for children to plant, and sent Veterans on the Honor flight to see the WWII memorial.“Club membership is a gift

that may be and is passed from generation to generation. Moth-ers, daughters, granddaughters, sisters, nieces, aunts, cousins, and in-laws share a passion for community improvement through volunteer service. Being a part of the same club has brought fam-ilies together by sharing a com-mon bond.”

CALENDAR from page 29

Beach Supper Club becomes the SoBe Discotheque for a dance contest. For the 1980s, it’s a celebration of “Miami Vice,” Ma-donna, who lived in South Florida and Whitney Houston, who filmed “The Bodyguard” at the Fontaine-bleau. The stage has dancers doing waltzes and rumbas. Finally, we’re at Club Caliente,

celebrating the energy and music of Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, Celia Cruz and Carlos Santa-na. A lavish finale has dancers performing the merengue, rumba, salsa and mambo. Kevin Back is the producer

of the show. The popularity of shows like “Dancing with the Stars” made him want to feature a show with ballroom dancing. “We focused on artists and

music that have a connection to South Florida,” he said. “We start with the Rat Pack era in South Beach and finish with a large Latin section. It’s interesting how many connections you can find with South Florida.” The show features four couples

and three vocalists who perform in a variety of musical styles. Black said that the show is suit-able for audiences of all ages. “There nothing offensive to

any age,” he said. “It’s no more sexy than what you might see on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’” Dance Your Pants Off comes to

the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, Jan. 8 as part of the Nostalgia Series. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $40. Call the box office at (772) 286-

of love and fluff! When it’s time to settle down, let’s curl up, take a snooze and you’ll find a nice

furry ball at your feet! Merry Christmas!

Are you in search of a lifelong loving companion? That’s me, Bones. I am a 2 year-old male Hound
