TRADITION — By swapping teaching techniques and form-ing friendships, local American teachers and Chinese educators hope to promote racial harmo-ny and a better learning envi-ronment for all of the world’s

children.Chinese educators and prin-

cipals, known as headmasters in the Eastern country, visited Palm Pointe Educational Re-search Academy for the third year in a row to learn Ameri-can educational methods and trade their academic secrets of success.“The goal is collaboration

between their centers and St. Lucie County public schools in order to have our children benefit,” Palm Pointe Principal Debra Snyder said. “What bet-ter way to learn about the world around us than visiting each

other, having this communica-tion?” The partnership was formed

through Riverdeep Immersion Subject English or RISE, one of the premier children’s English learning companies in China.Four St. Lucie County edu-

cators visited China over the summer to speak to Asian educators.Snyder said she plans to get

study tips from the Chinese, who perform well on standard-ized tests.“The Chinese do really well on

PGA VILLAGE — PGA Village resi-dents recently got a glimpse at what a new Master Board would look like during a candidate debate at the Island Club on Jan. 22.Cathy Townsend from the St. Lucie

County’s League of Women Voters moderated, giving the seven candi-dates vying for a spot on the five-seat PGA Village Property Owners’ Associ-ation, two minutes to field predeter-mined questions from the nearly 150 in attendance.Before the questioning began, each

was allowed time for introductions and why they decided to run for the seats.A meeting will be held on Feb. 19 at

the Island Club at 5 p.m. to tabulate votes in the POA Board of Directors election. The 2,511-home communi-ty will see sweeping changes on its board after the election to head the 3000-acres community.The elections seeks to find five new

board members for the coming year with staggered terms as follows: the two candidates who receive the highest plurality of the votes shall be elected for a term of three years; the two candidates with the next highest number of votes will be elected for a term of two years and the last candi-date with the next highest number of

PGA Village board candidates make their cases

PALM CITY — Palm City artist Joe Suroviec is well-known for game fish and wildlife art. Local art lovers will soon be able to purchase copies of his work to wear. Bass Pro Shops has pur-chased six of his apparel designs and three of them will be avail-able soon at the new Port St. Lucie store. Suroviec, who is staff illustrator

of Florida Sportsman magazine, official artist of the Snook and Game fish Foundation and an angler himself, has been an artist for much of his life. The artist graduated from the

Columbus College of Arts and Design in Columbus, Ohio, where he received the outstanding illus-trator award. “It was an award given to the

outstanding senior in illustra-

tion,” he said. “It was voted on by the instructors. That school was a homework steamroller. Of 378 in the freshman class, only 179 graduated.” Today, Suroviec lives in Martin

Downs, but he spent 20 years as a charter boat captain in the Flor-ida Keys. He also worked for the Florida Keys Land and Sea Trust. The Erie, Penn., native came to Florida in 1989 after a visit. “I came on a vacation,” he said.

“A small fish gave me a bigger battle than any bass in Ohio.” He decided to go where the fish

were. He came to Palm City in 2001 and worked as a production manager for a T-shirt company. “Pretty soon, they were manu-

facturing my T-shirts,” he said.” I’ve been in the industry ever since. I’m a 20-year overnight success.” Suroviec credits persistence

votes will be elected for a term of one year.Every resident should have

received a ballot and resumes of the seven candidates in the run-ning. All ballots must be in before Feb. 19. Once a ballot is received by the association, it cannot be returned or rescinded, PGA Vil-lage Property Owners’ Association documents state.PGA Village resident Eugene

Antuna said he hopes to, “Work to pursue a friendly community where the main purpose of gover-nance is to improve the quality of life of residents, achieve a friendly environment and maintain and improve prestige and home val-ues.”Antuna, a former engineering

project manager, told a packed house at the Island Club that an open line of communication between members and residents must be forged. Calling for more board transparency, Antuna said the new board must seek the involvement of community mem-bers in social events. He’s also calling for a review of budgetary, security and rule enforcement.The married father of two and

grandfather of one has served on six consecutive years on the Maidstone POA Board of Direc-tors. Three of those years were as treasurer. The Vietnam veteran is also a member of the PGA Village

Engineering Committee. He’s retired. Board candidate and Army

veteran William Daniels wanted residents to know he’s no strang-er to management. In 1978, Daniels served as the president of an Illinois condominium associ-ation. He also built a career with the U.S. Treasury Department, according to his resume. Daniels also worked within the Internal

Revenue Service before retiring in 2006.Stuart Gollinger, who sits on the

current board, brings with him a wealth of knowledge on litiga-tion and real-estate taxation. In the 1970’s, Gollinger launched his career as an associate tax counsel for Olin Corporation in Stamford, Conn. He then went on to open his own law practice in Westport, Conn. and then

became a tax attorney for the Connecticut Department of Reve-nue Services from 1991 to 2011, Gollinger said.Bill Leary, a Massachusetts

native, said he spent most of his career managing and marketing big insurance companies across the country.“I am running for the Master

Board because I believe I can as-sist in the managed growth of our community. Realizing that PGA Village is a special place to live in, I am interested in helping our community to grow and prosper in ways that promote harmony and the appreciation of our real estate values,” Leary said. “As the surrounding communities and businesses continue to expand, we need to be heard regarding the strain on our resources and the infrastructure necessary to meet our needs.”Before becoming a real es-

tate agent in Florida, candidate Carolyn Niemczyk was a facility manager in the Northeast for developments including office buildings in New York City and Trump Village in Brooklyn. She also testified as an expert witness in several property management lawsuits, her resume states.Peter Pover, who sits on the

current board, worked most of his life as a financial and techni-cal consultant and has a prolific volunteer record, from mentor-ing underprivileged children to serving on various homeowners associations, his resume states. Pover was also vice president of administration and finance for The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C.If re-elected, Pover promises

to “Create a better relationship between the POA Master Board and sub-associations and create liaisons with other similar home-owner associations.”Ellen Ryan is a previous mem-

ber of the board from 2009-2011. She also served as treasurer, director of collections and chair

of security committee. Before retirement, Ryan worked in risk management, managed dozens of employees and was responsible for IT operations at companies she worked at.A major concern of residents

seemed to be the community’s aesthetics, which some viewed as

ancient in nature with overgrown palm fronds. Townsend asked each candidate what they would do to the landscaping to help PGA Village remain a strong competi-tor against the many vibrant and colorful communities sprouting up in St. Lucie West and Tradi-tion.“We lost the wow factor,” Niem-

czyk said. “I think we need to recreate that. We have to restore a great community. I think that’s important.” Niemczyk said competing with

newer developments is a hurdle the board must focus on clearing.Gollinger agreed aesthetic

changes must be made to keep the community competitive, but is cautious to go full steam ahead.“There is an issue of cost versus

the benefit,” Gollinger said, add-ing the irrigation system must be looked at.Audience members also wanted

to know if the new board would rule with an iron fist, as boards of past did. Murmurs from the crowd suggested the current gov-erning style fosters hostility and unhappy residents.Meeting times and a lack of com-

munication may be contributing factors, Daniels said.“The time of meetings could be

much better scheduled, so they are attended,” Daniels said.Meetings are usually held at

10 a.m. The audience suggested meeting at 4 p.m. would be more

accommodating.Leary said he wants bigger

crowds at meetings in which civil-ity and honestly should rule.“If I get up there and I’m acting

like a jerk, stand up and tell me that,” Leary said, adding agendas need to be mailed out and post-ed online earlier, so individuals know in advance what issues will be discussed.The million-dollar question of

the evening came when Townsend asked the candidates what they believe is the board’s most im-portant function.“To make sure they do the

things necessary to make this the destination of people’s choice. If we need landscaping, we need to put it in. If we need sidewalks, we need to put them in,” Leary said to applause.Pover said quality of life is his

main concern.“I believe the most important

function is preserving, maintain-ing and improving the way of life for residents in this community.”Ryan and Antuna echoed the

same sentiment.“Increase property values by

making this a harmonious place to live in,” Daniels said.Gollinger and Leary agreed the

new board must listen to the community’s needs and requests.“The board needs to lead in a

manner consistent with the wish-es of the community at large,” Gollinger said.

Leary, who believes the gated community’s governing body should listen to the needs and concerns of its residents, is running against six others for a seat on the PGA Village Property Owners’ Association master board.

standardized tests and it’s some-thing that American students have not always done,” Snyder said. “We have had communica-tions with them about how well they do that. We also believe they have a rich history. And we’re just learning about their culture. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our children.”The Chinese are also eager to

learn American school customs, Snyder said.“They’re really here to learn how

our children learn in cooperation. Many of their classrooms are still single desks. They want their children to learn how to work to-gether,” Snyder said. “To be suc-cessful in today’s world, children must learn to cooperate and work together.”“They’re also here to look at

our teaching techniques. Many of their schools are still driven by text books. Here in St. Lucie County, we are not.”In all, nine Chinese educators

visited Palm Pointe. Sally Yuan from Beijing was one. The group also visited schools in New York City and Washington, D.C., before touching down in Florida on Jan. 24.Yuan hoped to expose Tradition

students to Chinese culture.“Through this exchange program,

I want to talk with children (and tell them), ‘See this is a Chinese face and we speak this language and the different characteristics,’” she said.Yuan was enthusiastic about

Palm Pointe teachers visiting China this summer to instruct classes.“In the summer I want to invite

some of this school’s teachers to come to China to teach our

students … they can come to our school and do the real teaching.”Chinese students can also

benefit from the American group learning style, Yuan said.“In China, there is one child a

family. Parents and grandparents focus on one child, so the chil-dren are lacking those skills of co-operating with others,” Yuan said.

Health officials give tips to shoo the fluNicole RodriguezSTAff WriTEr

[email protected]

See FLU page A14

TREASURE COAST — Although St. Lucie and Martin counties have been experiencing a mild influenza flu season, health offi-cials say the flu can still get you.To shoo the flu and stay pro-

active against the virus, Kar-lette Peck, health officer for the Florida Department of Health in Martin County, recommends the shot.“The influenza vaccine is the

single best option to avoid get-ting infected,” Peck said.It’s not 100 percent fail-proof,

but is always an added benefit, Peck said.“In most cases, it reduces the

severity of the symptoms,” Peck said.Anyone over the age of 6

months old should be vaccinat-

ed, Peck said. Individuals who have very severe reactions to eggs, should consult with their physician first, because the vaccine is made with egg protein, Peck said. A common misconception is the

flu shot will cause a person to have the flu, Peck said.Since this season’s flu shot isn’t

a live vaccine, it cannot give a person the flu. Some, however, may experience flu-like symp-toms, Peck said.“That’s your body responding

to the vaccine,” Peck said. “In a sense, it’s a good thing. It shows you’re building immunity to the real thing.”It’s vital pregnant women re-

ceive the flu shot, Peck added.“For whatever reason, pregnant

women appear to be more vul-nerable to complications from influenza infection,” Peck said.

The flu season is still upon us. Health officials continue to reccommend getting a flu vac-cine to avoid be-coming infected.

with breaking into the Bass Pro Shops market. “It’s taken me 10 years of

knocking on doors,” he said. “It’s almost like talent isn’t enough. You have to have persistence.” Suroviec owns a 242 Mako and

fishes out of Key Colony Beach in the Florida Keys from the end of January to the end of April. During lobster season, he auto-graphs lobster shirts at the Bass pro Shops store in Islamorada. While Suroviec’s preferred me-

dium is oils, the majority of his commercial work is done with permanent marker and black ink. Oil paint, he said, allows him artistic creativity of expression that he enjoys. The commercial artwork must be more literal and exact. In addition to his art, Suroviec

is also proud of several other cre-ations. He has five children, four of them sons. Each went through the Air Force Academy and two are still pilots. Daughter Rayna is a sophomore at Martin County High School. The artist said his work is also

his hobby. “I’m glad I enjoy it,” he said. “If

I didn’t enjoy it so much, I’d have quit a long time ago. I’d be an entertainer. I like to sing. Being a country western star would be cool. I do karaoke. I play the ten-or sax. It came from being in the band in high school. I love to play golf. Florida is the golf and fish state. If it’s too windy to fish, you can always go golfing.” For more information about Joe

Suroviec and his art, visit his web-site, www.joesuroviec.com or call (772) 323-3474.

“In the schools, sometimes they like to memorize what teachers say and give good answers. Now China is seeing education reform, so students can do research and projects.”Upon hearing about the pollution

problems that plague the Indian River Lagoon, Yuan sympathized. The Treasure Coast and Beijing

share the same problem of poor water quality, she said.“We also have water pollution ..

more and more farmers are com-ing to the cities. A lot of it is from the factories.”The mutual problem of toxic wa-

ters may be a way to unite both cultures through a collaborative research project, Yuan said.“We talk about (clean water) a

lot. This is an opportunity for this school’s kids and our kids to do a global project. They could investigate our Beijing rivers and we could do the same. They can correspond through email.”Palm Pointe students were eager

to greet Chinese educators to show them how they learn.Sixth grade student, Sidney

Scaletti, 11, said thinking maps are a good technique the Chinese should adopt.“Thinking maps are usually to

express a certain topic or catego-ry. What we’re working on right now is a tree map on China,” Sid-ney said. “A tree map resembles a tree’s roots. There is one specific topic on top and it branches out into subtopics at the bottom.”The map allows students to

simplify a subject to better under-stand it.

TREASURE COAST — Under no circumstances do law enforce-ment agencies place phone calls to area residents to collect pay-ment on traffic tickets.That’s the important message

local agencies want residents to heed after a series of fraudulent calls by a police impersonator.A St. Lucie West resident was

one of almost a dozen to report the crime, Port St. Lucie Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said.“The city of Port St. Lucie and

the Port St. Lucie Police Depart-ment do not contact citizens over the phone for payments of traffic violations,” Sabol said.In the St. Lucie West case, the

scammer identified himself as a Port St. Lucie Lt. Little, with the badge number 76723. The man claimed the victim owed $261.44

after he ran a red light in Decem-ber at the intersection of Jensen Beach Boulevard and Port St. Lucie Boulevard, an intersection that doesn’t exist.“The Port St. Lucie Police De-

partment does not have an em-ployee by the name and rank of Lieutenant Little and anyone re-ceiving similar phone calls should be on high alert and realize that the caller is a fraud,” Sabol said.Little stated a warrant for the

victim’s arrest would be issued if the victim didn’t pay up over the phone with a credit card, a police report states.“The city of Port St. Lucie does

not have red light cameras and does not monitor traffic violations remotely,” Sabol said.Little left a phone number with

a 772 area code for the victim to call back. The scammer was described as an official sounding, middle-aged white male with no

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Treasure Coast Fire Chief’s As-sociation honored local firefight-ers during their Annual Banquet on Friday, Jan. 10 at Gator Trace Golf and Country Club in Fort Pierce. Firefighters Scott Cannon, Scott Risk and Garrett Smith from Martin County Fire Rescue were recognized for their actions during a home fire in late 2012 in which fellow firefighter Jah-wann McIntyre was seriously burned. While on the second floor of the burning home, McIn-tyre was in trouble and became separated from the others. Fire-fighters reentered the home and went to the second floor to find and rescue McIntyre. McIntyre spent months in the Ryder Trauma Center at Jack-son Memorial Hospital in Mi-ami. He underwent numerous surgeries and, due to preparing for another surgery, missed the TCFCA Banquet.

Lt. Steven Burns and Lt. Chris-topher Longo, from the St. Lucie County Fire District, were rec-ognized for their actions saving Demetris Gollett, a 7-year-old boy trapped in an early morning home fire in Fort Pierce. The fire was well underway by the time the Fire District was called to the scene. They were informed a person was trapped in the home and after hearing faint moans, the two firefighters entered the home through a rear window and found the child amid the heavy smoke and flames. They carried the child to safety as flames rolled over their heads. During the fire, the Demetris’s grandmother suffered heat and burn injuries over a large per-centage of her body. She later succumbed to her injuries. Two others in the home were also injured. All four Martin County fire-fighters, Cannon, Risk, Smith, McIntyre, and both St. Lucie

Fire district’s best recognized for their accomplishments

accent, the police report states.Police called the number back and received the

following voice message: “This is the traffic viola-tion office, please leave a message and (an) officer will call you back.”The untraceable number was likely issued to a

pre-paid cellular phone, Sabol said.The master sergeant said he’s heard statewide re-

ports of the scam. Sabol has reason to believe the criminals are also operating the scam in Georgia.Some scammers are telling their victims to pur-

chase a Green Dot card from Walgreens or CVS and pay the fake traffic violation with the card, which is a refillable credit card.Port St. Lucie Police have been contacted by at

least 10 residents with the same type of call from the suspect or suspects.“Citizens should under no circumstances remit

payment over the phone after receiving a phone call from a person claiming to be an official of the Port St. Lucie Police Department,” Sabol said. Christine Christofek Weiss, a spokeswoman for

the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, said the agency hasn’t received any complaints of the scam, but still cautions the public to remain on high alert.“We have not had any reports of that, however,

when we were made aware that this was happen-ing, we issued a warning to our residents and we issued a warning on Facebook that this would be happening or could be happening or it’s happen-ing statewide and we made them aware of the fact that we do not collect payments over the phone for something like that,” she said.Police officials are asking that if anyone should

receive a phone call similar in nature to imme-diately call their local law enforcement agency to report the incident.

According to the latest data from the Florida Department of Health, the flu has been mild in Miami-Dade, Martin and St. Lucie Counties. Palm Beach and Bro-ward counties are moderate. Indian River County has had no activity to report, according to the data.Three have died from the flu in Orange

County and another two died in Brevard County, according to reports.In order to keep the stats mild on the

Treasure Coast, Peck said to practice cleanliness.Individuals should wash their hands sev-

eral times a day and cover their coughs or sneezes with tissues and then wash their hands.Alcohol-based hand sanitizer acts as a

good substitute for soap and water while on the go, Peck said.The proper way to wash hands is to

lather and sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice, then rinse.Peck recommends using paper towels to

open bathroom doors after a hand wash.Flu symptoms may include a 100-degree

or higher fever or feeling feverish, cough, sore throat, runny nose and chills.

To stay healthy this influenza season, follow these guidelines:• Everyone 6 months of age and older

should get vaccinated against the flu• Wash your hands often with soap

and water. If soap and water is not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth

• Avoid sharing eating utensils, drink-ing glasses, towels or other personal items

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick

• Boost your natural immunity by get-ting enough rest, eating properly and drinking lots of fluids

• Stay home when you are sick and check with your healthcare provider

Proper hand washing procedure:

1. Wet hands with water2. Apply enough soap to cover all hand

surfaces3. Rub hands palm to palm4. Right palm over the back of the left

hand with interlaced fingers and vice versa

5. Palm to palm with fingers interlaced6. Backs of fingers to opposing palms

with fingers interlocked7. Rotational rubbing of left thumb

clasped in right palm and vice versa8. Rotational rubbing, backwards and

forwards with clasped fingers of right hand in left palm and vice versa

9. Rinse hands with water10. Dry hands thoroughly with a single

use towel11. Use towel to turn off faucetSource: www.floridahealth.gov

ST. LUCIE WEST — Cassidy Fly-nn, an 11th-grader at Centennial High School has been nominated to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 14-16. The Congress is an honors-only

program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be phy-sicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal. Cassidy Flynn was nominated

by Dr. Connie Mariano, the Medi-cal Director of the National Acad-emy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent St. Lucie West Centennial High School based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve hu-manity in the field of medicine. During the three-day Congress,

Cassidy Flynn will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research, be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school, witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles, be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology. “This is a crucial time in Amer-

ica when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, executive director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. “Focused, bright and determined students like Cassi-dy Flynn are our future and she deserves all the mentoring and

guidance we can give her.” The Academy offers free ser-

vices and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Acad-emy plans to launch in 2013 and 2014 are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communi-cate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physi-cians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more. The National Academy of Future

Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the door-step of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.

“I would definitely like to teach them about the thinking map for sure, but I’d also like to teach them about just normal things like what we actually do – every-day things so they could take that back to China and say, ‘Hey we did this, we learned this and it was really, really cool,’” Sidney said.Sidney also wanted to learn

about Chinese culture.“It’s important to learn about

other cultures, so that way you get a better understanding of things, you get more knowledge.

The more knowledge you get, the more you can learn.”Sidney’s sixth grade classmate,

Nadia Castano, 12, did diligent work to learn about the simi-larities and differences between Americans and the Chinese.“Me and a couple of friends

decided to compare and contrast their New Year and our New Year and we learned a lot of amazing facts on how different it is, but also how similar it is.”“The American New Year is only

celebrated on one day when we have the ball drop. They celebrate their New Year for 15 days. The day is different every year and we always have ours on Jan. 1.”

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Economic Development Council of Saint Lucie County has select-ed Tom Wilkinson of Seacoast National Bank as the recipient of the Second Annual Peter Hege-ner Leadership Award, named in honor of the late Paul J. “Pete” Hegener, the former president of Core Communities and the visionary behind the development of Tradition, the 8,000 acre Mas-ter Planned Community south of St. Lucie West. “Tom is truly an example of

leadership in action. He is the embodiment of the Pete Hegener Award, believing that the legacy he leaves will be earned by the community’s acknowledgment of his service,” said Pete Tesch, president, Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County. The Pete Hegener Leadership

award is presented to an individ-ual who possesses all of the traits of superior leadership and has a demonstrated record of accom-

plishments that promote and en-hance community and economic development. The selected indi-vidual must exhibit commitment to a vision and must also possess extraordinary ability to recognize and work with the talents of other individuals, being able to put their interests ahead of his or her personal goals. Tom has been with Seacoast

for 24 years, starting as a com-mercial lender. He quickly be-came the commercial and resi-dential manager statewide and has been recognized as the most productive lender in Seacoast’s history, personally generating in excess of $87 million in one year. He was promoted to president/CEO for the Treasure Coast re-gion, managing 80 percent of the bank’s assets, and is presently managing all residential lending for the Seacoast Bank’s statewide system along with commercial lending for the Treasure Coast. His recognitions for community

service are too extensive to list

SECTION

ST. LUCIE WEST — Ryan Kas-ten became associate director of music and organist at Com-munity Church of Vero Beach in September 2009. By the end of 2010, he had turned a life-long love for bells and bell ringing into the Atlantic Ringers, an ensemble of 15 whose members audition for the group. They will perform Feb. 9 at St. Bernadette Church in St. Lucie West as part of the church concert series. “They come from all over the

Treasure Coast,” Kasten said. “They come from Sebastian to

Jensen Beach. Some are retired or current teachers, some are church music directors. Most have some previous bell ringing experience.” Kasten grew up in Missouri.

When he was in third grade, his home church acquired a set of bells. “I fell in love with them,” he

said. I’ve been playing them since 1983.” Kasten has serious music cre-

dentials to back up his passion. He has a bachelor’s degree in organ from Southeast Missouri State, a master’s in organ from the University of Nebraska-Lin-coln, a master’s in conducting

from Florida State and has nearly finished a doctorate on organ at FSU. This concert will be a look at some unusual

music for bells. The music will include some freestyle pieces that are not based on recog-nizable tunes and some surprises. “There is a piece based on the main theme

from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’” Kasten said. “There is a medley from ‘Phantom of the Op-era,’ and a medley based on the music of (film composer) John Williams. We have a great arrangement for ‘Hava Nagila,’ probably one of the most famous Jewish melodies. There is a piece based on Bach’s ‘Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,’ combined with ‘Blessed Assurance,’ an old Victorian gospel hymn.”

The bells range in weight from 8 ounces to 15-18 pounds and Kasten said that the musi-cality of the ensemble allows them to use the bells, in a variety of ways. “In addition to ringing, we actually take the

bells and hit them on a padded table,” he said. “We use mallets to strike them in the air and on the table. There are between 25-30 bell techniques we’ll use in the concert and give a brief demonstration. It makes us a little different. “We explore a lot of different literature and

perfect different techniques. We rehearse two hours a week for two or three concerts a year. We joke that they’re a bunch of ding-a-lings for wanting to do this.” Kasten is always on the lookout for addi-

tions to the group. Some members are snow-

birds and some are not available all the time, so he likes to have a full roster. “I’m always looking for new ringers,” he

said. “If someone shows interest, I’ll sit down with them. We rehearse on Tuesday evening from 6:30-8:30 at the church in Vero Beach.” The Atlantic Ringers come to St. Bernadette

Church, 350 N.W. California Blvd, St. Lucie West, Feb.9 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $20. For more information or to purchase tickets,

visit the website, www.BoldTunes.com or call (772) 224-7089.

ning of all the “Greatest Hits” of the Electric Light Orchestra is yours when you spend an evening with the orchestra starring ELO former members at the Sunrise Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 8 p.m., an exclusive and rare Unit-ed States appearance. The orchestra is made up of all

six legendary former members of ELO and ELO Part II. Under their new name since 2000, they are celebrating “The 40 Light Year

Tour” in 2014. The orchestra has played to sold-out houses ever since. The lineup of Ka-minski, Clark, Groucutt, Troyer, Huxley and Townsend became a rock solid touring unit, thrilling crowds everywhere they played. The orchestra suffered a mortal loss in 2009 when bassist/singer Kelly Groucutt died suddenly. The orchestra was fortunate to land veteran Glen Burtnik as Kelly’s replacement who remains with the band today. With Lou Clark conducting, the orchestra contin-

TREASURE COAST — Indian River and St. Lucie county stu-dents who will attend the Univer-sity of Florida as undergraduates this fall are invited to apply for a $1,500 scholarship from the Treasure Coast Gator Club. Scholarship applications must be submitted online at www.tcgatorclub.com no later than midnight on March 7. The online application process

is new this year to the Gator Club Scholarship program. According to Melissa DePriest, Scholarship Committee chair, the change was necessary to handle the growing number of scholarship applications. “There are some years when

we have had more than 70 scholarship applications to re-view,” said DePriest. “When we

calculated the expense involved in making copies of all those applications for our scholarship committee, not to mention the opportunity for mistakes, we realized an online application would be much more efficient. That’s even more money we can put back into scholarships for deserving students.” Last year, the Treasure Coast

Gator Club awarded $1,500 scholarships to 19 local stu-dents, including students who entered UF as freshman last fall and students who were already attending the university, said Melissa DePriest, Scholarship Committee Chair. “Our scholarship program

is unique because all students pursuing an undergraduate de-gree from UF, not just incoming freshman, are eligible,” DePriest said. “The scholarships are for one year only, but students are

welcome to reapply each year until they graduate.” To be eligible, a student must

be a resident of St. Lucie or Indi-an River counties, be a graduat-ing high school senior or transfer student who has received an acceptance letter to attend UF, or be a current UF undergraduate. Funds for the scholarship are

provided through fundraising events such as the Treasure Coast Gator Toast, an annual dinner which will be held this year on May 9 at the Pelican Yacht Club in Fort Pierce. Ad-ditional funds come from the Bryan Schirard Memorial Fund, the Arthur and Marian Block Endowment Fund and other in-dividuals who choose to name a scholarship in honor or memory of a loved one. For more information, visit the

www.tcgatorclub.com or email [email protected].

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — You may not realize that the meals we eat have a history as rich as their taste. As the Treasure Coast Food

Bank commemorates 25 years of providing sustenance, secu-rity and hope to people in need throughout the Treasure Coast, the organization is reflecting on its past while exploring the his-tory of food and the people who have influenced what we eat. To continue its long tradition

of raising awareness of hun-ger in the community, the food bank is hosting two educational luncheons and presentations in February. The events, titled “An Uncommon History of American Cooks and Meals,” feature Barba-ra Haber. Haber is a notable food historian, author, editor, James Beard Foundation Awards Board Member and former colleague of Julia Child. Haber, one of America’s most

respected authorities on the his-tory of food, will put this extraor-

dinary subject on the table as she views food as a lens through which we can examine our coun-try’s history. She’ll provide a his-torical perspective of the people who have taken charge of food in our country and made noble con-tributions to their communities, whether by collaborating to create community cookbooks for charity or by serving as volunteers in the Civil War to help nourish wound-ed soldiers. “Having Barbara Haber educate

us as we celebrate our 25 years of community service will set the tone for the years ahead as we move toward our collective vision of a hunger-free Treasure Coast,” said Treasure Coast Food Bank CEO Judith Cruz. What began with a small group

of faith-based volunteers in 1988 has grown to become the region’s only food bank and the largest hunger relief organization in the area. As TCFB marks a quarter century of service, it is prepar-ing for the increased need in the future. The food bank took an

From the Creators of Les Misérables, comes this classic story of love and loss in the turmoil of war. Based on Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, this stunning theatrical piece follows the tale of an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl who fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon in 1975. With thrilling, show-stopping musical numbers like “I Still Believe,” “Why God Why?,” and “The American Dream,” Miss Saigon is an epic, musical masterpiece of the enduring emotional power on the human spirit!

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Since starting Troop 772 in early De-cember, the number of trips to the principal’s office are mark-edly down, referrals have nearly

disappeared, and there is some-thing in the air at Dan McCarty Middle School. Some think it’s something called hope, and it’s helping to change minds, atti-tudes, hearts, and lives in St. Lucie County, thanks to a few dedicated volunteers and the

Van Duzer’s newly-formed Boy Scout Troop 772 searches for support in St. Lucie County

fOr YOUr VOiCe NewS & ViewSsupport of an entire community. When St. Lucie County Firefight-er, Rusty Hines, along with five assistants, started the process of training to become scout leaders for St. Lucie County’s newest Boy Scout Troop, 772, none of them had any idea that more than 50 boys would clamor to become involved in scouting. Now that those same boys are starting to learn more about the rigors and responsibilities of scouting, they’re ready to try some of their new skills out in the field – literally. As soon as Troop 772 secures enough camp-ing equipment for the enthusi-astic youth, preparations will begin for the troop’s first camp-ing adventure. And while Van Duzer Foundation board presi-dent, Scott Van Duzer, has been delighted by the generosity of the community towards this unique and proactive way to stop vio-lence in St. Lucie County, mem-bers of the foundation’s board of directors is hoping individuals will look through their attics, closets, and storage facilities and share any unused or gently used camping equipment to help the boys get started. Targeting at-risk youth from

St. Lucie County’s Dan McCa-rty Middle School, Hines and a diverse group of community members and dedicated volun-teers including Scott Van Du-zer, Dan Hafner, IRSC Assistant Professor Donald Lucy, Fort Pierce Police Chief Sean Baldwin, St. Lucie County Fire Chief Ron Parrish, School Board member Troy Ingersoll, State Representa-tive Larry Lee, St. Lucie County Commissioner Kim Johnson, St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken

Mascara, and retired St. Lucie County School Security Officer Terry Miller created the new 772 initiative, a Boy Scout troop that is decidedly different than most troops. With a strong belief that quality time and role modeling are key ingredients to help curb the tide of violence which threat-ens our community and robs us of young lives with bright fu-tures, these community leaders are teaching teamwork, integrity, scholarship, and positive atti-tude to help expose the young men to opportunities and ave-nues of community service that are far more rewarding than the crime and punishment that come along with the quick and short-lived thrill of gang life. As part of the learning and

skill-building, the group plans a monthly camping trip. And while the group has received dona-tions, including a $10,000 match donation from local philanthro-pist, Dr. Shamsher Singh, the group is trying to learn resource-fulness, so they’re looking to the community to donate unused or unwanted tents, sleeping bags, cooking stoves, duffel bags, and assorted camping gear to help get them off the ground. They re-spectfully request that donations be in good condition to help the young campers have a positive first-experience with camping and survival skills. Volunteers and scouts will happily pick up donations by arrangement if you call (772) 528-3467, or they can be dropped off at Big Apple Pizza in Fort Pierce, just across from IRSC. The troop is also interest-ed in recruiting any committed,

passionate adults who want to help turn the tide on the violence and destruction that is claim-ing the lives of our community members. For the past five years, the Van Duzer Foundation has found unique ways for everyone to positively impact the commu-

nity and has raised and donated over $800,000 to St. Lucie Coun-ty residents in need. For most of us, 772 is an area code and a way to help us identify where we live. For a few dozen St. Lucie County youth, 772 might well become a number which helps them identify who they are and who they want to become in life.
