Purim party
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerLeft, Rabbi Shlomo Uminer spins his gragger with oth-er members of the Chabad Jewish Center in Palm City during the reading of the Megillah in celebration of Purim on Sunday, Feb. 24. The crowd boos and makes noise at the mention of Haman, the noise of the gragger attempting to drown out the sound of his name. In the story, Haman’s plot to kill the Jews was foiled by Mor-decai and Queen Esther. Above, dressed in costume for the Purim celebration, Mason Healy, 3, waits his turn at the Chabad Jewish Center in Palm City Sunday, Feb. 24. Purim is a festive celebration where children and adults dress in costume to honor Queen Esther and how she hid her identity as a Jew at the beginning of the Purim story.
Haddox makes ‘cents’ of budget
Newly elected Martin County Commissioner John Haddox gave a stark assessment of Martin County finances at a Feb. 21 meeting at the Whis-pering Sound clubhouse in Palm City. “We’re $7 million behind in roads. We’re un-
derfunded for the inlet (dredging) and to me it is a
bleak picture that this board needs to grapple with very quickly,” said Martin, who was sworn in late last year as the new District 5 commissioner. Haddox also said that previous county budgets
did not include maintenance costs on items such as library roofs, air conditioning and certain other public properties such as Indian RiverSide Park. He said he has asked staff to include maintenance projections in the next budget.

Lawyer fights for injured
Lauri Goldstein
STUART — Most residents of the Treasure Coast have seen billboards featuring the picture of attorney Lauri Goldstein. In the area of per-sonal injury law, a field dominated by men, she is a rarity. She came to her specialty after years in the insurance industry. “I saw that insurance companies
weren’t fair to people who were in-jured,” she said. “I left and started representing injured people. You pay insurance premiums for years and then you get into an accident and the companies turn their backs.” Goldstein’s family moved from New
York to Florida when she was 6. She
attended Florida Atlantic University and the law school at Michigan State University. When her mother became ill with cancer, she returned to Flori-da to stay. Becoming a personal injury lawyer
some 20 years ago was a challenge. “It was a different era,” Goldstein
said. “It was more conservative and there was a certain decorum that is totally different than it is today. There was an old trial boy’s network that it was hard to break in. It was hard to penetrate through that network.” Goldstein was a single practitioner
for 18 years. Several years ago, Tom Schmitt and Richard Wade became partners. “I’ve known Tom Schmitt for 10

years,” she said. “It was a good fit. Richard Wade is from Tennes-see. He’s a fabulous lawyer. His father was killed on Christmas Eve by a tractor-trailer and he went to law school to keep the focus on injured people.” The firm recently added Kelly
Cambron, who specializes in So-cial Security disability and work-ers’ compensation. She is some-one else Goldstein has known for many years. It will expand the practice into broader areas, she said. Goldstein is known for her
working hard, but she is also a wife and mother who is active in the community. She involved in United for Families, Tykes & Teens, the Treasure Coast Wild-life Center and the Lyric Theatre. In 2012, she was a Soroptomist International of Stuart nominee for the Women of Distinction award. “I’m a wife, married 20 years,”
she said. “I’m a mother. When I get home, I have a second job with my husband, son and daughter.” She does find time for hobbies
and interests. “I love gardening and flowers,”
she said. “If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d be a florist. (Flowers) are life. Gardening is one of my favorite things to do.” She is also a fan of opera and
reality television.
The website of Goldstein, Schmitt & Wade offers the following tips for those in an accident:
• Pull over to the side of the road, if it is safe to do so
• Check yourself and passengers for injury
• Call the police, even if the accident seems minor. All injuries may not show up immediately
• Take down all the information you can, get statements from witnesses and write down details
• Do not accept money from the at-fault driver or make any agreements. Only sign papers form law enforcement.
• Remain calm and polite and answer questions
• Call your insurance company is soon as is possible
“I love truTV,” she said. “I like murder mysteries. I don’t real-ly watch trials. I’ve litigated too many cases, so I really try to stay away from watching that.” Many of Goldstein’s clients are
elderly people who have fallen because property was not main-tained. “Medicare only pays a cer-
tain amount, so we have to file a claim. I pride myself that as a woman, I take more time. In this firm, we have people from all walks of life and all personalities. We’re very compassionate with our clients and we spend a lot of time with them. When children are killed or maimed, those are the hardest for me.”
Lauri Goldstein practices law at Goldstein, Schmitt & Wade, locat-ed at 1330 S. Federal Highway, Stuart. The firm also has office in St. Lucie West, Fort Pierce, Okeechobee and Jupiter.

Haddox is the new chair of the chair of the St. Lucie Inlet Advi-sory Committee and he said that finances for necessary dredging are “going to be a significant problem.” “How are we going to pay $10
million every three of four years to dredge the inlet? There is no money. Ten years from now, some board is going to be faced with some very big tax increases.” Haddox said a half-cent coun-
ty sales tax had been proposed by committee members to pay for dredging costs. He said that he generally opposed raising taxes. “Before we do a half-cent sales
tax, we have to figure out that if the inlet only needs $3 million and the half-cent sales tax brings in $10 million, we don’t want to give a bunch of commissioners an extra $7 million a year to play with,” he said. But he said road and mainte-
nance costs were problems that were not going away. “We’re digging ourselves deep-
er and deeper, so that would have to be part of the half-cent sales tax.” Haddox also told the gathering
of about 40: • The Martin County Com-
prehensive Growth Management Plan, guided by former commis-sioner Maggy Hurchalla, was moving along on schedule. • The Business Development
Board has agreed to renegoti-ate its contract. “The number of years is unacceptable. The cur-rent contract is for 10 years and it has us locked in.” • County impact fees for new
businesses were high “beyond common sense” and would be reviewed. • The proposed U.S. Customs
Office at Witham Field would not produce projected revenues and would be reviewed along with oth-er airport issues at an upcoming workshop. • He favors a compromise on
the proposed Jensen Beach mooring field, which has drawn fire from environmentalists. Haddox said the Comprehen-
sive Growth Management Plan has “gone through Chapter 1; Chapter 2 is coming up in March and it is progressing very well” thanks largely to Hurchalla’s leadership. “I think she’s an amazing per-
son who has helped make Mar-tin County the place that it is,” Haddox said. Haddox said that the Mar-
tin County Business Develop-ment Board contract “has to be changed.” “The public/private contri-
butions to fund the board are
probably the worst in the state of Florida,” he said. “We’re some-where around 90 percent public funded, 10 percent private sector funded.” He said the average contribu-
tion ratio to business develop-ment boards in Florida was close to 50-50. “They must operate under a
system that would show us a return on investment,” he said. “We’re giving them over $625,000 a year and we don’t know to this day whether that’s a good way to spend our tax dollars. Perfor-mance measures have to be in the contract.” Impact fees recently went
through a first round of public discussion, Haddox said. “These are fees that developers
have to pay to come in and set up a business in Martin Coun-ty,” he said. “Our transporta-tion is where the big increase is. Common sense tells me that we shouldn’t have a big increase in transportation impact fees be-cause we have operated under a plan that has provided dense populations within our urban service districts.” Haddox said that construction
impact fees also seem high be-cause the downturn in the econo-my has actually lowered the cost of construction. “They should both be low, but
they’re not,” he said. An airport workshop to exam-
ine a variety of issues is tenta-tively scheduled for April. Had-dox said that the proposed U.S. Customs facility that would allow both airplanes and boats to clear customs locally at Witham Field will be a big part of that work-shop. “The airport had been laying
low for years, but it was simmer-ing. And it started simmering more when we added customs. We’re not going to generate the maritime income projected. We’re not satisfied with the income pro-jections.” Air traffic and ensuing noise
have also become hot-button issues. “I’ve determined that there
are ways that we can control the

number of flights because of the fees,” Haddox said. “And I’ve determined that we can control the noise.” Haddox said that about
$400,000 of taxpayer money had already been spent on the proposed Jensen Beach Moorings field — a 37-acre area south of Jensen Beach Causeway and west of the In-tracoastal in the Indian River Lagoon. A mooring field is an area on water where multiple buoys are installed. Oppo-nents of the field fear that sea grass will be harmed. Proponents deny that. “We have conflicting
reports coming in,” Haddox said. “Until we get to the bot-tom of that, I won’t sacrifice sea grass for a mooring field. Sea grass is too important.”An alternative plan would
install 25 mooring buoys but would not finance upland facilities unless and until the field’s impact on sea grass is determined. “I think there’s room for a
reasonable compromise and that’s where I’m headed,” Haddox said.
a bit of sightseeing and conver-sation. “I call them lover’s leaps, where
they can do the Romeo-and-Ju-liet thing if they want,” project administrator George Denti said. “These bridges become destinations for pedestrians. It’s the best of all worlds. We build these bridges not only for cars but pedestrians.”In addition to four lanes with
additional turning lanes at the ends, the bridge’s 120-foot girth will sport 10-foot shoulders for pedestrians and bicyclists.For the last few weeks, bridge
construction has been trouble-some for river traffic.“We’ve had the main water-
way channel closed seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to allow for the beam setting,” Denti said. The bridge spans a portion of
the St. Lucie River that is part of the Okeechobee Waterway, a 1937 Army Corps of Engineers project that connected natural waterways to create a 152-mile shortcut across Florida. “There is a significant amount
of commercial traffic shipped from Tampa to the East Coast,” Denti said. “The alternative route is around the Keys. It’s the Panama Canal of Florida.” But, those closures are done. Last month workers were onto
the superstructure, pouring the 19 riding surfaces, called decks. That work continues. “We poured two more decks,”
Denti said. “We’ve poured through Span 8. We set the main stand girders.” When done, the bridge is pro-
jected to carry about 28,000 trips a day, relieving traffic from the Palm City Bridge. Addition-ally, the new bridge will help Martin poise to get some devel-opment going again. The Palm City Bridge has been over capac-ity for about a decade, prevent-ing some new construction. The Martin County Board of
County Commissioners in 2011 voted to name the 3,100-foot structure Veterans Memorial
Bridge. The Federal Highway Ad-ministration is funding the $65 million construction through the American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act. It was slated to be finished by summer, but there have been some delays. Con-struction started in April, 2011. Denti said work should be done
by September. Beth Zsoka, public information
officer, said she’s continuing to get numerous requests from area organizations for presenta-tions about the new bridge. “We have a Rotary Club presen-
tation coming up, and the Palm City (firefighters) coming for a tour,” she said. “We’re also go-ing to be meeting with a home-owners association.”

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerMatt Reardon rounds third base to score for Martin County High School during a Dis-trict 12-7A game against Fort Pierce Central High School Saturday, Feb. 23. The Martin County Tigers won the game 8-2.
Is this year the Tigers’ year?
MARTIN COUNTY — For the past couple regular seasons, the Martin County High School base-ball team has shown their mus-cle and established themselves as the best baseball team in the area. However, the problem for head
coach Jerry Smith has come in postseason play as the promising years for his Tigers were tamed
with sudden and disappointing conclusions. In 2011, after defeating Port
St. Lucie High School twice in the regular season by a com-bined score of 28-3, the Tigers suffered a shocking 9-0 loss to the Jaguars in the District 14-5A tournament championship game, ending their season with a record of 17-4. Last season, the Tigers com-
pleted a historic 24-1 regular season with two addition wins to capture their first district cham-pionship since 2006. Unfortu-nately, all of the momentum and good vibes came to a screeching
Can the Martin County baseball team carry the winning through the postseason?

The Mets won the game 5-3.
ST. LUCIE WEST — Donning an oversized New York Mets t-shirt, Peyton Conn, 7, watched in awe as Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada nailed a two-run homer over the left-center field wall during the first inning of spring training opening day at Tradition Field against the Washington Nationals last weekend.As soon as the ball cleared
the wall, the stadium erupted in celebratory cheers. Peyton, who was armed with an Easton leather glove on his left hand for the occasional foul ball, excitedly jumped up and down, his brown curls bouncing with each hop.“Home run!” Peyton, a New York
native, shouted with a smile.Peyton’s enthusiasm and ani-

halt following a 2-1 loss to the hands of Venice High School in the 7A regional quarterfinals. Entering the 2013 campaign,
Smith set a goal to his players that is as clear as day. “We have to win a playoff
game,” Smith said, who is en-tering his ninth season as head coach. “We haven’t done that in quite a while.” “We were 26-2 last year, actu-
ally 26-1 going into the playoffs, but we lost. Granted, we lost to the eventual state champions, but we got to win a playoff game. If the season is deemed to be a success, we have to win in the postseason. “ How far the Tigers go hinges
on the consistency of the bats in
their lineup. In 28 games last year, the
Tigers averaged over eight runs per game. Six starters from that team have graduated. Return-ing to the lineup is junior first baseman Jeremy Vasquez, who led the team with a .494 batting average and was named to 2012 ESPN-HS Florida’s All State Base-ball Team. “He’s such a smart hitter,”
Smith said. “He doesn’t try to pull the ball. He takes what they give him. They throw him away and away, but he just goes with it.” The strength of the Tigers is
the depth of arms throwing from the pitching mound. “The pitching is pretty much
all back from last year,” Smith said. “We got some arms, that’s not going to be the issue.”

game that the victorious Mets claimed in a 5-2 final score.New Yorkers Paul and Amy
Harvey made a special trip to Tradition Field for an intimate experience they said their three sons don’t get at CitiField.“We get up close with the play-
ers,” Harvey said. “You can’t do that in New York.”“I like getting things signed by
the players,” Harvey’s son, Brett, 10, said. The young fan clutched a ball with Mets pitcher Dillon Gee’s autograph.The temperature on the field’s
scoreboard read 84 degrees and clear skies with a slight breeze made for a perfect day at the park.Palm City resident Wes McCur-
ry attended with his son Jake, 9. Father and son soaked up the sights and sounds together.“There’s a great community feel-
ing. Everyone came out to enjoy the start of the season together with this beautiful weather in sunny South Florida,” McCurry said. “There’s no better way to spend the day.”One fan who spends a lot of
days at the ballpark is Port St. Lucie resident and season tick-
et holder Pat Lowe, 63, who sat along the third base line. Lowe, a self-professed Mets fanatic, wore a straw hat adorned with dozens of Mets pins dating back to the ‘60s.“Every time I come here I’m on a
natural high, whether it’s the ba-bies or the big guys,” said Lowe who purchased property in Port St. Lucie 25 years ago when the Mets began training in St. Lucie West.Another attendee on a natural
high from the atmosphere was newly elected District 5 St. Lucie County Commissioner Kim John-son, who attended with his wife and mother.Johnson said the family-orient-
ed atmosphere at the stadium was filled with “love, laughter and joy.”

MARTIN COUNTY — After being denied the year before by St. Petersburg, the Martin County High School boys basketball team learned revenge is a dish best served at home. Behind the relentless attack
of senior point guard Jermohn Queen and the late game spark provided by junior Densen Lu-mene, Martin County earned a spot in the Class 7A Final Four after defeating St. Petersburg 62-53 in the Region 3-7A cham-pionship game in front of their raucous Tiger faithful at the Don Wallen Athletic Complex in Stuart Saturday night. For the first time since 1987
and seventh time in school his-tory, the Tigers will appear in the state basketball tournament. “Credit goes our kids who put
everything they had on the floor tonight,” Martin County boys basketball head coach John Leon said following the triumph. “I think the kids wanted it a little bit more than (St. Petersburg) did tonight.” “I’m just happy for the town,
the area and the school. We are going to states.” A season earlier, Martin Coun-
ty was denied a chance to play in the Final Four after the Green Devils were on the victorious end of a dramatic 77-76 Region 3-7A final score in St. Petersburg. This year’s contest was played at
a drastic difference in pace, but featured the same intensity. Martin County jumped out to
a 9-0 lead to begin the contest, with the crowd chanting “Beat St. Pete” at a frenzied pitch. How-ever, any thoughts of a blowout were methodically erased as the Green Devils crawled their way out of the early hole. St. Pete took their first lead of
the contest midway through the second quarter, taking advantage of poor Tiger outside shooting (only one 3-point basket made in the first half). When trying to penetrate to the rim, Queen and senior Nick Marder were met by the tall Green Devil frontcourt defenders protecting the basket. “They’re big,” Leon said. “I
mean, they have guys that are 6’ 7” and 6’ 8” while we are starting a number of guys under 6 feet tall. It was a struggle with those big guys.” St. Petersburg held a four-
point lead at halftime and at the end of the third quarter. While on several occasions the Tigers were able to cut the deficit down to a single possession, they seemed simply incapable of putting to-gether a string of quality posses-sions to get over the hump. To make matters worse, Trey
Graham, the Tigers 6-foot, 5-inch starting center, had to play the last 15 minutes of the game a foul away from being disqualified.The crowd needed a spark, as
concern was palpable across the arena. Following a corner 3-point field
goal from senior Alton Edwards to start the fourth quarter, Lumene would hit fire. Lumene would

More than 26 million Americans-one in nine adults-have kidney disease. Millions more are at increased risk for getting it, and most do not know it. Kidney disease can be diagnosed and treated early to prevent serious kidney disease and other severe complications.
According to Michele Libman, M.D., Director of Treasure Coast Urgent and Family Care in Stuart, March is National Kidney Month, the perfect time to answer a few questions to help evaluate if you are a potential risk of kidney disease.
1. Do you have diabetes?
2. Do you have high blood pressure? 3. Do you have heart disease?
4. Are you 60 years of age or older?
5. Is your ethnic background African-American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American or Pacific Islander?
6. Do you suffer from muscle cramping at night?
7. Do you have swollen feet and ankles?
8. Do you feel the urge to urinate more often, especially at night?
9. Do you have unexpected weight loss or gain?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, you could be at risk for kidney disease.
The leading causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease, and a family history of kidney failure.
“If you think you may be at risk for kidney disease, ask your doctor for tests, including blood, urine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) tests that can determine how well your kidneys are functioning,” added Dr. Libman. “They should be done at least once a year so that if you have early kidney disease, it can be treated right away.”

MARTIN COUNTY — Seacoast National Bank will host a dedica-tion for the 2013 CASTLE Mem-ory Field on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 5:30 p.m. in its Colorado branch lobby. The public is invited. The Memory Field is installed annu-ally at Seacoast National Bank’s headquarters on the corner of Colorado Avenue and U.S. 1. Each flag represents a child who died at the hands of abuse or neglect in Florida last year. This year’s memory field will fly 126 flags. “Seacoast is proud to sponsor
the Memory Field and support CASTLE’s efforts to prevent child abuse,” said Tom Wilkinson, Sea-
coast National Bank’s Treasure Coast president. “This is a me-morial for the entire community to embrace. It serves as a somber reminder of the high cost of child abuse — a problem that exists right here on the Treasure Coast.” CASTLE is an acronym for
Child Abuse Services, Training and Life Enrichment. The organi-zation’s mission is to improve the quality of family life by providing community education, support and resources for parents in need of assistance. Seacoast Nation-al Bank has hosted the Memory Field since its display was started seven years ago. Seacoast National Bank is the

score nine of his 11 points in the final period, including a Eu-ro-step floater through traffic in the lane midway through the final period to give the Tigers their first lead since early in the second quarter. The two teams would later
trade baskets, but with the score knotted up at 50, Lumene scored what proved to be the go-ahead point at the free throw line with 3:21 remaining in the game. Martin County would not look back. “The whole year, my job is to
bring energy off the bench,” Lu-mene said. “Coach asked for me to step up and that’s what I tried to do.” Although several attempts
came after the game essentially was decided, the difference in the fourth quarter was Martin Coun-ty’s ability to get to the charity stripe. The Tigers got to the free-throw line 15 more times than their opponent (18-3), converting on 13 attempts (Martin County outscored St. Petersburg by 13 points in the last quarter). Despite the defensive resis-
tance the Green Devils were able to put up for most of the game,
the disparity at the free throw line was a product of Tigers’ con-tinued aggression of the offensive end. They finally broke through. “Coach kept telling us ‘we’re
going to hit (our shots),’” Queen said. “He was saying to keep attacking the lane and don’t be so timid. Run right through them.” Playing his final game as a
Tiger on his home court, the victory was especially gratify-ing for Queen. The year before, Queen scored a game-high 37 points against St. Petersburg, but walked off in defeat. He couldn’t be happier that the roles were reversed this time around. “Last year, they were at home
and they made us cry on their court,” Queen said. “We wanted to make them feel what we felt last year. Being that we were able to play the team that beat us last year, it makes it even sweeter.” St. Petersburg guard Terrell
Burney led all scoring with 24 points. Queen was the highest scoring Tiger with 20 points. Marder added 12 points. On Friday, the Tigers will trav-
el to the Lakeland Center in Lake-land to play Evans High School from Orlando at 2:30 p.m. “We want to win at states,”
Marder said. “We aren’t done yet.”

Greek Festival slated for March 1-3 The members of Saint Nicholas
Greek Orthodox Church in Fort Pierce are already hard at work preparing for their 34th Annual Greek Festival, one of the oldest and best Greek Festivals on the Treasure and Space coasts. As always, the best attractions to the festival are the tasty Greek foods and the very energetic Greek dancers. Greek foods are prepared on
the premises by members of the church and include offerings from the Taverna, the Gyro Stand and the Greek Kafenio (coffee shop). The Taverna mouth-watering specialties include full dinners (lamb shank, Greek meatballs, dolmades, moussaka), and appe-tizers (Greek salads, cheese and spinach pies) and much more. The Gyro Stand features
ever-popular Greek-style sand-wiches such as the Gyro, and marinated and grilled pork or chicken souvlaki made on grilled pita bread. At the Greek Kafen-io the loukoumades (deep fried Greek honey balls) and good cup of Greek coffee are something to die for.At the Greek Pastry counter,
stop to take home some of our special sweet treats like bakla-va (the traditional Greek pas-try of chopped nuts and spices wrapped in layers of buttered filo dough and drenched in honey) and paximadia (the Greek version of biscotti) to name just two of the many items offered. Our Greek Deli features many
of the items you need for cook-ing Greek such as feta cheese,
Kalamata olives, olive oil, spices, pastas, pita bread and more. Our Greek Bookstore offers Greek cookbooks, and many gift items as well as religious books and articles. The Greek Wine Cellar offers a
selection of imported and domes-tic beers as well as Greek wines. A nice glass of red wine goes well with your meal from the Taverna. Many outside vendors return
to our festival year after year offering a wide variety of unique clothing, hats, music, jewelry, and other items you will find no-where else. And of course, the most pop-
ular entertainment at the festi-val is our Saint Nicholas Greek Dancers. Since September, the youth of the church have been practicing and adding to their repertoire of dances for your en-joyment. The troupe of dancers is divided by age into three groups, the beginners, the middlers and the seniors, and each group will amaze you with their skill and the liveliness of their dance se-lections. You won’t want to miss one of their performances. They are accompanied by the Hellenic Band providing a wide selection of Greek music from the Greek mainland as well as the many islands of Greece, each with its unique style. So come out and join us on
March 1, 2 and 3. We are located at 2525 S. 25th St. in Fort Pierce, just three-tenths of a mile south of Virginia Avenue. Parking is free, so bring a carload of friends with you. Admission the festival is just $3 per person over the age of 8.

New theater company thrives STUART — Even Jake Sanders, who thinks
big, couldn’t imagine the success of his new venture, Curtain Call Productions. In an inter-view in October, Sanders was preparing for his first season at the Frances Langford Theatre at the Kane Center in Stuart. As the season begins to wind down, Sanders
has moved to the Flagler Center, part of the Lyric Theatre. “A New Brain,” an edgy musi-cal, will appear there from March 22-24. For his April production, “Next to Normal,”
the company will move again, this time to the Lyric’s Main Stage. That’s a lot of success when you remember that Jake Sanders is 19. His 20th birthday will take place in April, during “Next to Normal’s” run. “It’s been a crazy ride,” he said. “I really have
met a lot of people through the Lyric. They give me inspiration, that maybe I’m not crazy. I think we’ve found a good fit in the Lyric.” Right now, Sanders is preparing to stage “A
New Brain,” the musical by William Finn, who wrote “Falsettos” and “25th Annual Putnam

County Spelling Bee.” It is a mu-sical, but don’t think “The Music Man.” “A New Brain” is about a man,
Gordon Schwinn, who thinks he is dying of a brain tumor. He spends some of the play in a coma. The show is based on events in Finn’s life when, he, too, feared he was dying of a brain tumor. Sanders will star in the show, along with Broadway veteran Anna McNeely, who plays his mother. “It’s a great story,” he said.
“There are so many poignant moments. It’s so witty. You’re laughing and a split second later crying. Gordo is so apathetic. He has a cynical view of life when he starts out. He’s quick to jump to ‘I’m dying, deal with it,’ rather than fighting for it. When he does deal with it, he becomes someone who appreciates every minute.” Sanders is pleased to have Mc-
Neely in the cast. “She plays my overbearing,
wacky, crazy mother,” he said. “She originated the role of Jenny-anydotts in ‘Cats’ on Broadway and was in the original cast of ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ There’s a beautiful song, ‘The Music Still Plays On,’ that she sings when she thinks Gordo is dying. All of her life, people are leaving her. Gordo’s dying is just another way
of leaving her.” It’s not giving away the story to
say that Gordo survives. He does go into a coma, which is a se-quence in the musical. “It’s a musical within a mu-
sical,” Sanders said. “It’s a very dream-like 20 minutes. You get to see what he’s thinking. It’s very funny because he sees everyone and no one hears him. There are a lot of show-stopping numbers. “Gordo comes out with an ap-
preciation of life,” Sanders said. “He stops fretting about the little things. When you see something like this, it reminds us of how lucky we are.” Sanders is getting ready to
announce his second season and he’s very excited about it. He hopes to be able to keep ticket prices low. “Tickets are $15 for students,”
he said. “I know what it’s like to not be able to afford to go to the theater. I want to keep it afford-able. The Lyric is behind me, to foster a younger generation of theater-goers. (Our play) ‘Or-dinary Days’ had the youngest house they’d seen.” Sanders has taken a semester
off from IRSC to attend to his burgeoning enterprise. It is hard work being an impresario. “It’s good I’m doing this when
I’m so young,” he said. “I’ll be too

Now, you have more options. Implant-retained dentures are permanent, and they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You can smile and eat without fear of slippage. You can go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning with your teeth in place.
all-on-Four/teeth in a DayTM
Dr. Sohl is on the forefront of implant placement. He has a dental CAT scan unit on premises for computer guided implant placement protocols for Nobel Biocares All-on Four/Teeth in a DayTM procedures. All-on-Four/Teeth in a DayTM was developed to minimize the number of implants required to anchor a complete set of dentures. A full arch can be replaced with four implants in a single visit, as opposed to as many as eight implants and multiple office visits.
