ST. LUCIE WEST
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Each mayoral candidate will be the first to tell people that his or her opponent has made a multitude of mistakes, and that’s just what they did at a candidate forum Oct. 10, hosted by the St. Lucie County League of Women Voters.Incumbent Mayor JoAnn Faiella
opened the mayoral portion of the forum by referencing challenger Greg Oravec’s mistakes as Port St. Lucie’s city manager during his tenure that lasted less than a year.“We can face the tough deci-
sions before us and continue to move our city forward, or we can go backward to the tactics and failures that my opponent and the previous administration has given us, the taxpayers, and such, the enormous debt of Dig-ital Domain and City Center, not to mention the pending lawsuits totaling over $5 million for the unjust firing of top brass police officers who work to protect us,” Faiella said.Oravec was the assistant city
manager when Digital Domain was approved, and the city has

TRADITION — To mark the end of an extensive, community-driv-en effort to secure the state’s seventh veterans nursing home, local representatives thanked those who played important roles Monday morning at Tradi-
tion Town Hall.St. Lucie County Commission-
er Frannie Hutchinson, Port St. Lucie Mayor JoAnn Faiella, Florida Rep. Larry Lee, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy and Senators Joe Negron and Gayle Harrell took turns thanking those who helped.“Congratulations to St. Lucie
County,” Murphy said. “We won this because we deserve this.”
Many thanked their elected peers, but some of the behind-the-scenes people got some well-deserved recognition, too.Hutchinson, who many credited
with being the most dedicated to the cause, said she had three people with her each step of the way.County attorney Dan McIntyre

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A Fort Pierce native is one of 16 eligible veterans to have the state nurs-ing home in Tradition named af-ter him, and community officials are supporting the cause.The St. Lucie County Commi-
sion passed a resolution 5-0 to support naming the new nursing home after Army Sgt. Ardie Ray Copas, who died May 12, 1970 during the Vietnam War.Copas was just 19 when he was
killed in battle in Cambodia. That morning, Copas’ company was ambushed by enemies, firing ar-tillery, rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapons. Artillery fire struck his armored car, injur-ing him and four others. Copas got on the vehicle’s
mounted machine gun and fired at the attackers as they fired back with explosive rounds. Copas laid enough cover fire so

been paying $3.5 million annually on the debt. The city recently sold the old bonds and bought new ones to reduce the payments to $1.5 million per year until 2019, Port St. Lucie finance director Ed Fry said.After 2019, the payments will
be $2.3 million per year, but that number will be reduced if the building is sold, Fry said.Faiella said the former council
and city staff ignored numerous red flags.Oravec admitted that the deal
wasn’t in the city’s best interest, despite it being appealing early on.“I think we’ve clearly learned our
lesson,” he said. “It was such a failure that I think it changed the game across the state.”
A 2012 lawsuit filed by former Port St. Lucie Police Captain Jo-seph D’Agostino against the city, naming both Oravec and Faiella as defendants, seeks damages from D’Agostino being laid off from a police department re-structuring that eliminated some positions and added others.“We laid off unnecessary middle
management to hire back police officers to put on the streets,” Oravec said. “Since then, crime is down, and I stand by the deci-sion.“They just continue to throw
things at the wall and see what can stick.”The suit also accuses Faiella and
Oravec of violating Florida’s open
meetings law, the Sunshine Law, by discussing the police depart-ment restructuring privately. At the forum, Oravec said the
city needs to rebrand itself and elect a mayor who will obey the Sunshine Law.“Council members aren’t sup-
posed to talk about things behind closed doors,” he said. “It’s pretty straightforward how you deal with that — you just follow the law. “We need to improve our brand
so we don’t have negative head-lines … let’s make sure we’re in the headlines for good reasons like the veterans nursing home, versus another Sunshine viola-tion,” he said.
Faiella was charged with two misdemeanors (violating the Sun-shine Law) in 2013, for talking with other council members and using former city attorney Roger Orr as an intermediary in dis-cussing Oravec’s future employ-ment with the city after Oravec released 85 pages of documents showing texts and emails among council members to the State’s Attorney’s office.Faiella’s charges were dismissed
by a judge because her right to a speedy had been violated.Faiella disagreed with a question
from the audience suggesting the council hasn’t been transparent enough.“I believe that this government
and this council has been very transparent … I disagree with that statement,” she said.Early voting starts for all area
races Oct. 20 through Nov. 2, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Sundays with the General Election follow-ing on Nov. 4.

To the editor, I just had the opportunity to
read Shelley Koppel’s article this morning (“When violence hits close to home,” Oct. 3, 2014). It was everything — touching, informative, moving and coura-geous.

To Shelley Koppel, Back a while ago, you did a

To the editor: In 2008, St. Lucie West was
hit hard by Tropical Storm Fay. At that time, I was the district manager for the St. Lucie West Services District. I put plans in place for improvements which included automating the gates and replacing them with gates that went down 2 feet vs. 1 foot and allowed water to drain out twice as fast. I fought for and got a FEMA grant for over $1 million and plans were put in place for final design and im-plementation. In January of 2010, I had a
medical problem that caused me to retire. There were two remaining issues that needed to be addressed: the Turn-pike Ditch, which needs to be cleaned and enlarged and the permit with the South Florida Water Management District, which needs to be changed to

I’d bet that there’s a lot you don’t know about the St Lucie West Services District. In fact, most of the people I know call it the “Water District” because all they see of the District is a monthly water bill. The District is a key resource for our community in St Lucie West, yet few people are aware of their breadth of ser-vices. First, a bit of history. When he
decided to develop St Lucie West in the 1980s, Thomas J. White needed four things to get started: • A bridge over the turnpike• Roads through the wilderness• A golf course (go figure)• Plumbing For the plumbing part, like
many developers, White created a Community Development District to make up for the lack of city services in the area. Thus was born the St Lucie West Services District, not coincidentally locat-ed adjacent to the Country Club —which would need water long before the first house was built. Unless it breaks, we rarely see
the plumbing, since it’s most-ly underground. But there are hundreds of miles of pipes down there — drinking water pipes, sewer pipes, irrigation water pipes, stormwater drainage pipes, and pipes that interconnect the many retention ponds. Every new development — housing, commer-cial or industrial — has added to the underground infrastructure. Right now, there are 64 miles of pipes delivering drinking water, 52 miles of pipes delivering irriga-tion water and 94 miles of pipes collecting wastewater. But all that piping does nothing
without the machinery to process what goes through the pipes. Even before the first drop passed through the first pipe, the pro-cessing equipment had to be in place. The District built a potable (drinking) water processing sys-tem to purify and desalinate water drawn from shallow wells, a sew-age treatment system, and, with remarkable foresight for the time, a system to reuse waste water for irrigation. Over the past few decades, as
demand grew, the systems grew. At one point, when the developer still ran the District, the system didn’t grow quite fast enough, and it ran out of water. The city of Port St. Lucie came to the rescue, just as the District had done for the city a few years earlier. To-day, with deeper wells and more efficient equipment, the District has capacity to meet all projected demand through buildout of the
community. You can tour the plant. You
should. The first thing you’ll no-tice is that it’s almost immaculate. Even the equipment repair shop, which should be grease-stained and cluttered, in my experience, looks as tidy as my grandmother’s parlor. The second thing you’ll notice is that parts of it could be a set from Star Wars, with all the high-tech flat panel displays and real-time updates on the status of thousands of sensors. Of course, there are the low-tech
areas, too. The biggest is probably the IQ pond. No, it’s not a smart body of water. It’s where they store the Irrigation Quality water that you use to water your lawn. If you go soon, you’ll find that half of it is empty, with a big dam sep-arating the water from the other half. That’s because the bottom is being relined. Then there are the water storage
tanks. If water is being purified faster than we’re using it, the overflow goes into them. If we’re using water faster than the plant is processing it, then the extra water comes out of them. They hold a lot of water — 4.0 million gallons each. If every toilet in our community were flushed at the same time, it wouldn’t dent the extra capacity. (Speaking of toilets, did you
know that the District will give you a $100 rebate if you replace your old toilet with a new low-vol-ume model? Or $15 for a new low-flow shower head? What a

ST. LUCIE WEST — A collection of stormwater retention ponds in the Cascades community has been problematic for residents who want clear, waterfront prop-erty, but St. Lucie West Services District staff is working toward a solution.The district is going to see if a
new boat that can scoop residue and vegetation in shallow water can help residents with the near-by ponds, primarily in the Cas-cades community.The new boat is the same type
the district used about 10 years ago, before it switched to a larger type, called a harvester.At the Sept. 9 services district
meeting, about 35 residents showed up to seek a solution for the messy ponds. Harvey Cutler, the district’s
chairman, asked the residents to wait until the next meeting so staff could come up with a fix.At the Oct. 7 meeting, Cascades
resident Barbara Bernstein said the ponds are still murky.“The problem doesn’t seem to be
getting fixed; it just seems to be getting managed,” Bernstein said.The ponds contain a floating
substance that resembles al-gae from the untrained eye, but the floating masses are actually collections of eel-grass pods that shed often under normal cir-cumstances. The grass acts as a buffer to keep the water clean,

according to University of Florida St. Lucie County Resource Exten-sion manager Ken Gioeli.The new boat is now in use,
and it allows the district to get to more shallow areas that the harvester could not reach, the district’s public works director, Bill Hayden.“This is probably the type of boat
we need to get in there,” Hayden said.Because the new boat is smaller,
the ponds can be treated more often, the district’s manager, Dennis Pickle, said.“This boat we hope will be a
somewhat of an answer. It’s not going to be a fix,” Pickle said.The only permanent fix would be
to fill in portions of the lake, but that’s not feasible and would re-move the residents’ ability to have waterfront property.The ponds are operating as they
are intended to, however, accord-ing to Pickle.The ponds weren’t designed
to be crystal-clear, recreational ponds, as many residents hoped. They are to prevent flooding, Pickle said.“We are doing what was recom-
mended by the biologists. We are taking care of and treating them as stormwater retention ponds,” Pickle said.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The St. Lucie County Commission mem-bers want the county to be pre-pared in case medical marijuana usage is approved in the Nov. 4 General Election.The commission voted 5-0 Oct. 7
to advertise three public hearings to discuss a medical marijuana facility zoning ordinance, should Amendment 2 pass with a 60 per-cent required vote in the general election, in order to make sure the county is free of potential legal disputes.The amendment will decriminal-
ize the medical use of marijuana for those who have debilitating diseases — such as cancer, mul-tiple sclerosis, glaucoma, hepa-titis C, HIV, AIDS, ALS, Crohn’s disease and Parkinson’s disease — in which marijuana would
help. The first hearing will be in front
of planning and zoning commis-sion in November, and the other two will be in front of the County Commission at a later-scheduled date.Dr. Michael Hofstee, St. Lucie
County Republican Party State Committeeman, asked the coun-cil to wait on advertising until after the general election because doing so now could sway voters.“If the constitutional amendment
does pass, there will be plenty of time to regulate,” Hofstee said.County attorney Dan McIntyre
said the county is not endorsing medical marijuana by advertising.“This has nothing to do with
that,” McIntyre said. “We are simply looking to get out in front of this.” Commissioner Tod Mowery said
the commission is trying to pre-vent problems of regulating dis-pensaries after they are approved, which could set up the county for
future legal battles.“I want to make sure we are do-
ing the right thing for our com-munity,” he said.The ordinance allows for
state-approved dispensaries to be placed in industrial light dis-tricts with hours of operation to be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday and closed on Sunday in locations 2,500 feet from any pharmacy, school, medical office, daycare center, daycare home, playground, religious institution, public park, other medical mar-ijuana dispensary, residential structure, adult living facility or similar type of facility, according to the ordinance.Dispensaries would also be
prohibited from selling alcohol, providing any other services un-related to medical marijuana and displaying merchandise.Cultivation would have to done
indoors in an area not accessible to the public.

ST. LUCIE WEST — Rabbi Ar-thur Rutberg has always wanted to start his own congregation, and after 30 years of experience, he’s doing just that.But, he’s not going to model af-
ter more traditional congregations he’s been involved with.The Treasure Coast Jewish Cen-
tre is opening to all, he says.“We envision our congregation
as Abraham’s Tent open and welcoming to all. We intend to reach out to the unaffiliated in our Jewish community and meet them where they are,” he says. “I have a deep passion for learn-
ing and teaching Judaism to people of all ages and all back-grounds. The essential calling of my rabbinate is bringing people to greater awareness of their Jew-ish tradition and teaching oth-
ers about Judaism; it’s history, its values and its many forms,” Rutberg, a former rabbi at Temple Beth El Israel in St. Lucie West, says.Meetings will be in numerous
places, not limited to one central location to appeal to more people.“Our approach is not to build
it thinking they will come. It doesn’t work that way anymore. Outreach to the young, the unaf-filiatedz and the uninterested is our primary focus and objective,” he says.Just between 30 and 40 percent
of Jewish Americans identify with synagogues, according to a Pew Center research report. Rutberg estimates that number is closer to 20 percent in Florida.“The goal of the Treasure Coast
Jewish Centre is to reach out to that 70 to 80 percent of Jewish households in our local commu-

TREASURE COAST — Deputy Chrystal Duncombe is driving the fight against cancer. No, really. The St. Lucie West resident is driving the Martin County’s Sher-iff’s cancer fight car. That gets a job perk that took a little getting used to for a road-patrol officer. “I have people drive by and give
me the thumbs-up,” she said. The deputy has been with the
Sheriff’s Office for four years. About two years ago, supervisors approached her to drive the black cruiser with pink lettering pro-claiming, “Help us fight cancer.” Her mother died at 46 due to
smoking-related cancer, so Dun-combe didn’t need any convinc-ing. The lawwoman takes the car
to a host of anti-cancer events, such as the recent Survivor Party at the Evergreen Club in Palm City, Oct. 2. At press time, Dun-
Deputy seeks help in arresting cancer through awarenessPatrick McCallisterSTAFF WRITER

The uncertainty of the last few years, undoubtedly has causedmost of us who love fine Antique jewelry to question the decisionswe have made in the past and forced us to re-examine our plans for the future. As we walk through our beautiful store assessing our inventory it’s not a problem to say unequivocally that my mentors were correct. Buy and own rare Antique or one of a kind pieces. It has given us more pleasure than money
sitting idly in a low-return bank account. It makes us happy to get up each day and see our beautiful, rare Antique treasures
instead of worrying how the Asian or European markets are doing currently, most of us are forced out of the conventional safe havens of banking or solid income producing assets. Many feel forced to still play the market. My mentors remembered the crash of the 1930’s. I too, do not want my happiness to rely on the old investments. I want to see and hold my assets. You can ask a few economists to look at the same data and they will come to a radically different opinions about the future of our economy. Fred & I are very optimistic & feel this great country will have a wonderful future. Always remember rare, beautiful jewels have stood the test of time. I am not an expert on economics but I am an
expert of Fine Antique & custom Jewelry. That’s why I have devoted our talent, passion & energy to our business. If you are considering
selling Great Grandmother’s wonderful Antique Jewels, we are always interested in buying. If you are contemplating acquiring a rare piece.... Please come see us.Terry & Fred

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Butter-field’s Pharmacy, a local phar-macy with two St. Lucie County locations, is turning 60, and the employees want the public to join them in celebrating the store’s roots and the principles that helped it become successful.There will be a birthday party
from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at each of the two Butterfield’s Pharma-cies — along Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard in St. Lucie West and along Turnpike Feeder Road in Fort Pierce.While some things like store
locations have changed, others haven’t.“What hasn’t changed is the care
for the patient and the custom-er service that we’re known for,” said Jeff Earlywine, the compa-ny’s finance and operations di-rector. “You come here, and we’ll spend time with you. It’s a para-dox because we’ll explain things so you understand, but we can also work as quickly as you need. The average wait time is just 12
minutes.“We roll out the red carpet, and
that’s how we’ve always done it to care for the customers,” he said.When the business was started
in 1954 by Tom Butterfield, he did so with the goal of serving the community and treating custom-ers like family, and those values are still promoted by current owner Dave Wright.“Our philosophy is to treat cus-
tomers like they’re your grand-mother. That’s how we treat everybody,” Wright said.Tami Brown has spent more
than 20 years working for Butter-field’s, starting at the age of 15, and said she’s been taught those values all along.“It was instilled a long time ago.
If you wouldn’t treat your grand-mother that way, then you don’t treat (the customers) that way,” she said.The times have changed,
though, and Butterfield’s has kept up technologically with its larger chain-store counterparts.Pharmacists help customers
with multiple prescriptions keep their doses synched to eliminate confusion.
The pharmacy also offers in-dividually packed dosages for patients at hospitals to eliminate the need for nurses to carry mul-tiple pill bottles at a time.“We’ve kept up with the times,”
Earlywine said.Because the business is turning
60, customers can get a free 60-watt light bulb just by stopping in one of the stores.There will also be free birthday
cake and sales during the cele-bration, though the sales won’t be revealed until the day of the party.

deal! Cut your water bill, update your plumbing, and get paid for it. Check it out.) Remember, even though Utili-
ties Division does a lot with wa-ter, it’s the Services District, not the Water District, and there’s a lot more services the District pro-vides through the Public Works Division than just processing and moving liquids. The Aquatics Department is
responsible for the ponds — 128 ponds totaling 650 acres, all in-terconnected. It’s really more like a river, as water flows from pond to pond through underground pipes, moving mostly west to east, from I-95 to the Turnpike. Almost all of them are “reten-tion” ponds, and they have two purposes. The first is to purify the water as it flows through the community and keep pollution out of the downstream bodies of water — ultimately the St Luc-ie River and the Indian River Lagoon. The second is to provide somewhere for runoff to accumu-late during rainstorms. The Department constantly
monitors the quality of the water and has to meet strict standards for water quality. Keeping the ponds functional is a lot of work, but they have some really cool equipment for the task — boats, carts, sprayers, and analyzers. The piece of equipment I like
best is the harvester. It looks like some prehistoric monster, with its huge scoop at the bow, two conveyer belts to move the material around, and the paddle wheels that drive it on the sides. They wouldn’t have to pay me to drive that boat, at least not for the first day. The vegetation in the ponds
does most of the purification, but there are good plants and bad plants. The trick is to control the bad ones while keeping the good ones healthy. As a rule, the good guys are growing in the shallow water along the banks, and the bad guys are often floating in the deeper water. The easiest way to spot the bad plants is that they grow really fast like, well, like weeds. Although even the ben-eficial plants might look untidy, they are critical to maintaining and improving the water quality. They’re actually hard at work. The Vac-Con/Video Ray Crew
has some nifty equipment, too. The Vac-Con truck is a huge vacuum cleaner. The crew uses it to clean sand and sediment out of the stormwater pipes and to remove solid waste from the lift stations which keep the waste-water moving to the treatment plant. The Video Ray is a min-iature remote-controlled sub-marine with cameras and water jets. It swims down the pipes looking for obstructions, deterio-ration, and sediment. If a clog is
found, the sub’s water jets pull the material back along the pipe to a spot where it can be sucked up by the Vac-Con. Sure beats digging holes. The Exotic Plants Crew does
most of its work where we don’t often see them — out in the woods. They keep the preserve areas from being overrun by invasive non-native plants. Like the aquatic folks, their goal is to control the nasty growth and promote the healthy plants. Again, the invasive plants grow like weeds, so every preserve is cleared of Brazilian peppers, malaleucas and other inappro-priate growth every three years. It’s a never-ending battle, but critical to our community. Finally, the Landscape Mainte-
nance Crew cuts the grass, trims the trees and shrubbery, paints the signs, picks up the litter, and generally is responsible for the appearance of all the areas that don’t belong to a property own-er or to the city. They maintain 300 acres of common area with a crew of nine employees. The Services District contrib-
utes greatly to our community. Their charter requires the Dis-trict to provide a higher level of service than the city would provide, and we should all be thankful that they are succeed-ing. Some major initiatives are
courageous for you to share such an intimate, and no doubt, painful personal story with your readers. It caused a flashback to a time
when I was a small boy, maybe 10 or so. I grew up in the inner city of Boston, a neighbor pre-dominately populated by working class Italians. One hot summer night, when most people had their windows open due to a lack of air conditioning, my family was having dinner. The sounds of our next door neighbor yelling and slapping his wife came through our open window. When I picked up my head and turned to the sound, my father told me to eat my food. It wasn’t the first time this couple fought, nor the last. Nor were they the only fami-ly that fought physically. Back then in that time and place, one did not interfere. I should say at this point my father was a good, hardworking guy who loved his wife and kids and I cannot ever remember one instance where he raised his hands in anger at any of us. I’m glad that behavior is no lon-
ger tolerated, and in part because of people like you who chose to reveal your story. Jim BalzottiPGA Village

combe is slated to appear at the Treasure Coast Pink Heals Tour, Tradition Square, Saturday, Oct. 11.But, Duncombe is still a cop
with lights, siren, badge and sidearm, and her vehicle is still a Sheriff’s Office cruiser. She’s tak-en many a lawbreaker to jail in it. “I had a guy who was like, ‘I’m
not getting in that car,’” she said. “‘Not that car.’ But, by the time we got to (the Martin County Jail) he was OK with it.”Sheriff Will Snyder said Dun-
combe and her cruiser are in demand. “We get requests from all over for
(Duncombe) to bring the car,” he said. “She’s become the celebri-ty.” Snyder, too, said cancer has vis-
ited his family, and he wants to be a part of arresting cancer and
putting it away forever. “I personally have a heart for
that,” he said. There’s another benefit to driv-
ing the cancer-fight patrol car,” Duncombe said. She said when she’s at events and parked while working, folks like to tell her their survivor stories. She said the sto-ries about people battling cancers helps her keep a cop’s stressful job in perspective. “It makes you appreciative for
your life,” the deputy said. Snyder said, he too, has gotten
to hear survivor stories when at-tending events with the car. “When you hear their stories,
our jobs are much less stressful,” he said. “This is for every fight against every form of cancer.” The car will be at the Making

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The St. Lucie County Children’s Services Council provides funding that helps serve more than 30,000 area children, but it needs help from voters Nov. 4 to continue
being funded. “These funded programs help
make sure every baby is a healthy baby, stop child abuse before it happens, keep kids off the streets, keep them in school and off drugs and alcohol,” said Sean Boyle, the council’s execu-tive director. The council has been around
since 1990, but state statute
changes became effective in 2010 that require Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Broward and Okeechobee county voters to reauthorize the councils this year. Pinellas and Hillsborough will be on the ballot in 2016 with Miami-Dade County following in 2020.The councils need more than 50
percent of votes to be reautho-
rized.If it’s reauthorized, the council
will continue to exist, as is, and will be voted on again in 2026, unless it is dissolved by either the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners or by a special act of the Florida Legislature.If it’s not reauthorized, Boyle

TRADITION — Nancy McMa-nus was a court reporter for many years. In 2002, she took her talent and her machine and switched careers, becoming a closed captioner for television. There were several reasons for the move. “It was much more exciting,”
she said. “I could stay at home and I didn’t have to dress up. I saved gas. Also, with court re-porting, they can’t start without you.” McManus works for Caption
Colorado, one of the largest pro-viders of real-time closed caption-ing in the United States. The cap-tioner dials in to access the audio of the event to be captioned and uses the steno machine used by a court reporter to write between 180-200 words per minute in shorthand. The steno machine is connected to the captioner’s com-puter and the steno shorthand is translated with special software. Caption Colorado has specific
clients and McManus is one of approximately 160 captioners who do the closed captioning for them. She does the local news and weather for a number of cities in the U.S. and is also on standby for emergencies such as weather or breaking news. Occasionally, she is asked to provide captioning for a show that aired before captioning was widespread. The goal for all of the captioning is accuracy. “We’re human, so we make mis-
takes,” she said. “We try our best to get everything covered. They want 98.5 percent accuracy at my company. When I was a court reporting and thinking about captioning, I started watching it. When I saw an error, I thought
that as long as I didn’t have to be perfect, I was going to give it a shot.” The captioning machine does
not have every letter of the al-phabet and combination of keys
make certain letters. “There is no letter ‘n,’” McMa-
nus said. “With my left hand, I hit ‘tph’ together. That’s the letter ‘n’ or ‘n’ sound. Because of that, I can make a lot of brief forms and phrases. Texas is ‘toeug,’ When I do a morning show, if I write ‘toeug,’ I’m doing the Dallas news. I see it a million times. It’s short-hand on a machine.” McManus is paid by the hour
for jobs that are on her schedule. “When I finish a job and upload
it, it goes into a company file,” she said. “They check on us regu-larly for accuracy and speed.” McManus also captions sporting
events, including baseball, hock-ey and basketball. “You have to know all the
names of the team,” she said. “In hockey, there are Russian and Finnish players. I look at the roster and shorten them to one or

two strokes. I have it down, so I can keep up with them.” Foreign names are not the only
pitfalls. “Words like ‘to,’ ‘too’ and ‘two’
or ‘their,’ ‘there’ and ‘they’re’ have different ways of writing each one,” McManus said. “You hear the words and put it together at the same time. It’s so hard when they’re speaking fast. I’ll put dashes in. If I write something that’s not right, I can dash it and put in the correct word. That’s not considered an error.” To become a court reporter,
McManus went to school for two years at night. To switch careers, she practiced on depositions. “It took a year or two to change
the way I wrote,” she said. “I trained myself and sent a file to Caption Colorado. They would correct it and finally they said, ‘We think you’re televi-sion-ready.’” McManus loves her job. “I think it’s a challenge to know
a lot of words and the different anchors and reporters in different areas,” she said. “I know most of my stations in San Francisco, Dallas, Jacksonville and Cleve-land. With emergency weather, I can be looking up a map of Ohio, putting in every little town. There’s a lot of preparation. I joke that I know a little bit about
everything, but it really means nothing at all.” Occasionally, McManus is
challenged by words that are not supposed to be heard on network television. “We are not, under any circum-
stances, to write ‘the F word,’” she said. “It cannot even come out by mistake. I’ve made it into another word. (With some words,) I will write it phonetically, so it never comes out.” Sometimes, McManus puts a
word in. “If we, as the hearing can hear
it, why can’t the hearing-impaired hear it? Unless I have strict in-struction, if I’m not sure, I’m not going to play God.”

TRADITION — From January 2010 to July 2012, Tom Nich-ols was the public information officer for the Port St. Lucie Police Department. He was the point person for the public and the me-dia and was the person The New York Times called for information about the Tyler Hadley murder case. “The New York Times came to
my office to talk about it,” he said. “I treated them like we treat our local media, upfront and hon-est. They got the same story as our local media.” In 2012, a new administration
took over at the police depart and positions were shifted. “They thought the PIO should
be someone of rank, like a ser-geant,” Nichols said. “I agree. I returned to patrol with the neigh-borhood policing bureau, back where I started. I enjoy what I do now.” Nichols, a New Jersey native,
was in college when he began
working at Sears and Macys. “Several of the people I worked
with in security were cops or retired cops,” he said. “I was 18 or 19 and I was intrigued by their stories. (Before,) I’d always want-ed to be a photographer.” Nichols discovered that the
hiring process for police officers in New Jersey was different from that in a state like Florida. “In New Jersey, you only get to
go to the Police Academy after you’ve been hired,” he said. “Here, if you can go to the academy at IRSC, you’re more marketable to law enforcement agencies be-cause they don’t have to pay (to send you.)” Nichols came to Florida in
1989 and worked at the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office for four years. He then went to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office and spent two year with the Juvenile Boot Camp. He was certified as a cor-rections officer, but on his own, went to the Police Academy for certification as a law enforcement officer as well. In 1995, he was hired by the Port St. Lucie Police Department. Next year will mark
his 20 anniversary there. Nichols served as a patrol officer
for four years and then spent a

year as a Port St. Lucie High School Resource Officer. “When school got out, some
of the resource officers took the summer off because it was hard to take time off during the school year,” he said. “I could go to the Criminal Investiga-tions Division, and I started working financial crimes. I did that for 10 years. I enjoyed it and it was challenging. Then I was looking for a change.” The positon of public informa-
tion officer opened and Nichols was appointed to the position by then-Chief Brian Reuther. It was a job with many highs and some challenges. “The high point was dealing
with the public and being able to inform the community of what was going on,” he said. “Some of the stories were funny and some very violent. It was good to tell the public that those were isolated incidents but that their police department had resolved them, that the po-lice department was out there relentlessly looking for those re-sponsible. That was rewarding.” The biggest challenge was the
phone. “At any given time, something
could happen, and the phone could ring at any time,” he said. “In the early hours after midnight, it could be the po-
lice department or the media. When the media call (late at night) they catch you off guard. I wouldn’t make a statement until I had the details. It was a good learning experience. In addition to his patrol
duties, Nichols is also a field training officer. “I have new hires with me
during certain phases of train-ing,” he said. “It’s rewarding. I try to be a role model and mentor to new hires, teaching a new officer the world of policing and how to be a police officer. I don’t use the word training.” Nichols found time to com-
plete a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts at Barry University, with a concentration in behav-ior science. When he’s not on the job, he
enjoys going to the gym and spending time with his daugh-ter, 11. He also works for Major League Baseball, authenticat-ing sports memorabilia. Major League Baseball has instituted a program to authenticate items removed from the field or signed by players. Nichols said that the city he
serves has changed a great deal. “The growth is the most ob-
vious thing,” he said. “It went from a small community to a city where people want to come to work and raise families. The most significant thing is our growth.”

allow for early release of water before storms. I had written them up and the Board of Supervisors was aware of the needs. In 2012, Tropical Storm Isaac
hit St. Lucie West hard, and the gates performed very well. The two issues that I had reported in 2008 were reported again to the community and Board of Su-pervisors, and nothing has been done to correct them. St. Lucie West flooded and will flood again until these issues are addressed. Last month, I became aware of a
Park and Retention Pond project to be undertaken by the St. Lucie West Services District at a cost of between $5 million and $6 million. I am not opposed to this use, however, I believe it should be addressed in a referendum with the citizens of St. Lucie West. I also feel strongly that the two issues that have been open for over six years should be ad-dressed before any new projects are considered.

said there will be no dedicated source for local children’s pro-grams.“The average homeowner pays
$27 per year through its proper-ty bill,” he said. “No other entity in the community has the abil-ity to fund these programs. We currently fund 53 programs, of which 44 … receive 50 percent or more of their operating funds from the Children’s Services Council. Many of those programs will close or greatly reduce their capacity to serve children.”Some of those programs include
the Boys & Girls Clubs, the Av-enue D Boys Choir and the Big
Brothers Big Sisters program.“Also, every newborn in St.
Lucie County is eligible for a nurse home visit one week after delivery. This program checks on the health of the mother and the baby and answers any and all questions the new parents may have. The program along with increasing bonding has literally saved mother and baby lives,” Boyle said.“Being reauthorized would mean
that these programs and resourc-es for local families would contin-ue in St. Lucie County, and the success we have had in reducing infant mortality, child abuse and juvenile crime will also continue,” he said.

ed Copas and 23 others the Med-al of Honor posthumously March 18 at the White House.It’s important to have the nurs-
ing home named after a local hero, St. Lucie County Veterans Services Manager Wayne Teegar-din said.“We would, of course, love to
have the nursing home named after a local person,” he said.Teegardin said anyone can nom-
inate any one of the 16 eligible people. The criteria are that the person was a Florida resident, is deceased and is a Medal of Honor
recipient.“We will be in competition once
again with the entire state to have this named,” Teegardin said.Commissioner Frannie Hutchin-
son said it would be an honor to have the nursing home named after a local hero.“That to me would be just like
the icing on the cake - or the candles in this case. But, I feel like we got the icing already,” she said.St. Lucie County was awarded
the site for the state’s seventh veterans nursing home by Gov-ernor Rick Scott and his cabinet unanimously Sept. 23. The nursing home is planned to
be built on a 28.5-acre parcel in Tradition. The 120-bed facility will employ roughly 190 people. Scott and his cabinet will choose
who the site is named after by mid-December.

and County Resource developer Glenn Hen-derson wrote the extensive 611-page proposal to secure the nursing home.Henderson said it’s a relief to see so much
time and effort culminate into the state awarding the site to St. Lucie County. It was one of the most in-depth proposals he’s writ-ten, Henderson said.“I’ve done larger ones, but this one required
so much in the way of technical documenta-tion from the city and county, which resulted in us getting lots of data.“It was quite the effort to put this together,”
he said.Henderson said the state required 11 copies
to be submitted for consideration.“It was so big we couldn’t FedEx it. We drove
them over to Largo. You can imagine how much it was,” he said.Hutchinson named Wayne Teegardin, St.
Lucie County Veterans Services manager, as the other important figure she had helping her.“(Henderson) and I spent a lot of time togeth-
er working on this project,” Teegardin said. The two had scouted out other veterans
nursing homes, he said.“We went in there kind of incognito,” he said
with a laugh. “I had years of training … he did not.” All the efforts were to make sure the
200,000-plus veterans in the 75-mile radius the nursing home would serve have the care they need and deserve.“Our veterans have made the world a better
place,” Teegardin said.The residents played perhaps the most sig-
nificant role in the selection, said Al Carter, Florida Department of Veterans Affairs chair-
man.St. Lucie County began the selection process
ranked seventh out of 10 locations but quick-ly made up ground.“I have a duffel bag of mail from St. Lucie
County, including the emails,” Carter said, noting that only two of the 1,100 letters he received had anything bad to say about the nursing home.The nursing home is planned to be built on
a 28.5-acre parcel in Tradition, donated by Tradition Land Company.
“If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be here today,” Hutchinson said.The state required a minimum of 28 acres
for the nursing home.The 120-bed facility will employ about 190
people. St. Lucie County was awarded the site for
the state’s seventh veterans nursing home by Governor Rick Scott and his cabinet unani-mously Sept. 23. Scott and his cabinet will choose a name for
the home in about two weeks.

In a tight game, just about everything that could have gone wrong did for the Fort Pierce Central football team as they lost 34-24 to Mandarin (5-2), of Jack-sonville. Central (2-4) was undisciplined
with the ball, turning over the ball four times in its fourth straight loss of the season — the most Central has had since 2009, when it went 5-5, under former head coach Ed Geiger. Central had three fumbles and
two coming from junior quarter-back Jake Celidonio.Things looked fine early on for
Central, however, after taking the first four minutes and 30 seconds to put together a 13-play, 85-yard drive, capped off by a 2-yard run by Richard Betty, in which he dove over a couple of lineman to reach the end zone.On the next drive, the sloppy
play began. Celidonio threw an interception to Mandarin safety Anthony Brown. Otherwise, Ce-lidonio managed to have a solid game, passing, going 17 of 27 for 258 yards, a touchdown and the interception.Both teams traded field goals in
the second quarter, and Manda-rin added a touchdown on a 23-yard pass from quarterback Tyler Greenlee to wide receiver Mike Syrakis. Greenlee finished 11 of 25 for 111 yards, three touch-downs and an interception.Syrakis scored on a Greenlee
pass again in the third quarter, but Central answered with a 3-yard touchdown run from Just-
en Hodge, who finished with 83 yards on 18 carries.Mandarin added a field goal,
and Central got a big play on a 73-yard pass from Celidonio to Mike McInnis, who racked up 111 yards on five catches.That’s where the fun ended for
Central.Mandarin scored on its next two
drives to make it 34-24. During Mandarin’s last drive, Central head coach Josh Shaffer was ejected from the game after he got his second unsportsmanlike con-duct penalty. Then a fight broke out between several Mandarin and Central players with about four minutes left in the game.A few Central players left their
bench to get in on the scuffle.No one was suspended during
the game, but the Florida High School Athletic Association was expected to hand down suspen-sions later in the week.Central Defensive Coordinator
Charlie Matthews took over for Shaffer as head coach to finish out the game.“We made some mistakes, but
we just ask our players to play hard, and that’s all we can do,” he said.Matthews is expected to fill Shaf-
fer’s shoes in the team’s upcom-ing game against St. Lucie West Centennial, as Shaffer’s ejection carries a one-game suspension with it.

SECTION
VERO BEACH — Ray Roder-ick, director, choreographer and co-writer of the musical, “The Bikinis,’’ is from Illinois. He didn’t see the ocean until he went to New Jersey with his wife, actress
Karen Quackenbush. “She’s a Jersey girl and went
to the Jersey shore every sum-mer,’ he said. “She took me, and I thought it was unbelievable. It was great way to grow up. In school, you get pigeon-holed, but when everyone comes to the beach in the summer, they get to rewrite themselves.” “The Bikinis,” which will be
presented at the Riverside The-atre Oct. 28-Nov. 16, marries Roderick’s fascination with the shore with the impact of the tran-sistor radio and the music that was the soundtrack of life in the 1960s and ‘70s. Based on a true story, the musical, written with James Hindman, tells the story of The Bikinis, a girl group from New Jersey that reunites after
20 years to raise money to save the Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach resort in Florida from a developer. It features songs like, “It’s in His Kiss,” Yellow Pol-ka-Dot Bikini,” “Heat Wave,” “Un-der the Boardwalk,” “When Will I be Loved,” “I’m Every Woman” and “I Will Survive.”

“‘The Bikinis’ ” is a celebration of a particular time in the jour-ney of music,” Roderick said. “What was exciting to me is that there are other shows that are girl-group oriented, but they are about specific times and places, and they’re silly, fluffy stuff that always is with young women. This is a coming-of-age story about a group of girls who become best friends, and we see them come of age in the 1960s into the 1970s. As they come of age, the country comes of age and is changing. The music re-flected that. It was on the radio, and we were all listening to ba-sically the same things. It was a very different journey from now, with the Internet and down-loads, where, if you like some-thing, you get it. The beauty is that rock ‘n’ roll changed every year. What did we sing, and why did we sing it?” In “The Bikinis,” which fea-
tures Quackenbush as one of the singers, someone has dis-covered an old recording made by the group. “Two of the girls, sisters, are
there at the park to raise money for legal fees,” Roderick said. “There is tension between the sisters because one wants to sell, and the other wants to stay. Their best friends from the
Jersey shore are there in Flor-ida visiting. They haven’t been together for 20 years.” The girls, now mature women,
sing the songs that helped them win the Belmar Beach Talent Show in the summer of ’64. “My interest was to have them
sung, not by kids, but by people who knew why they were sung in the first place, why they were worth hearing. There is a look at what it means to their personal journey. They may mean more now than they did.” While there is what Roderick
calls “bubble gum music” and a tribute to the beach movies of Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, the show also has heart. “I wanted to create a reality,”
he said. “It’s got a real soul. It’s a love story between women coming of age together. They’re 50 and still coming of age, al-ways still growing up. They dis-cover what they mean to each other. They come back to what really matters to them and learn something about living life. An adult coming-of-age story is a lovely thing.” The Riverside Theatre, 3250
Riverside Park Drive, Vero Beach, presents “The Bikinis,” from Oct. 28-Nov. 16 on the Stark Stage. Tickets start at $35. Call the box office at (772) 231-6990 or visit the website, www.riversi-detheatre.com.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Sun-dancers Radio Control Club was founded in 1988. Two of the founding fathers, Larry Olsen and Gary Ballard are still members. The first flying was done on a street near Becker Road and I-95. Over the next few years, the flying sites have been the roads of the Atlantic Gulf Communities Corp. South of Midway road and the
new Strazzulla Field about two miles west of 1-95 off of Indrio Road. Strazzulla Field is used by many flyers from the Vero Beach to Fort Pierce area while Stuart, Jensen Beach and Port St. Lucie flyers continue to use the area off of Midway Road. In 2001, the city of Port St Lucie allowed the club to use the Midway field located off Blanton Road in North West
Port St. Lucie. This was the main field until 2010, when the club obtained the Germany Canal field from the county. In the last four years, the club has expanded the field to include a 1,000-foot car dirt track with jumps and turns, an oval car track for practice runs, and a lake for boats races and float planes. The Club is now in three national organizations: Golden member of the Acade-my of Model Aeronautics (AMA), Remotely Operated Auto Racers (ROAR) and North American Mod-el Boat Association (NAMBA).Sundancers will host a ra-
dio-controlled car event (Dirt Burner) on Oct. 24-25 and a ra-dio-controlled helicopter event on Nov. 1-2 at Germany Canal field. Visitors are always welcome. For more information about the
club, visit the website at sundanc-ersrc.org.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Read-ing like an alphabet of infectious diseases, chikungunya, dengue, Ebola and enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) are unwelcomed guests who have either arrived or are making their way toward the community. The Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention and other numerous medical sources warn that these viruses may be under-recognized in the Unit-ed States. Why is it difficult to make a correct diagnoses upon an initial doctor visit? Because at the beginning of an infection, symptoms are often nonspecif-ic. And, without a proper diag-nosis, appropriate precautions aren’t taken, sometimes with dire consequences. Chikungunya, dengue, Ebola
and EV-D68 are not new diseas-es. Ebola has existed in sub-Sa-haran Africa for nearly four decades. Chikungunya, which was described in Tanzania in
1952, had outbreaks contained to Africa and Asia. Prevalent in the Caribbean and Americas since arriving in late 2013, more than 650,000 cases have been reported. Although in existence for centuries, dengue did not spread until the middle of the 20th century. Even then, it was limited to the Philippines and Thailand. Today it is endemic in Asia, the Americas, Africa and the Caribbean, infecting as many as 100 million people annually, World Health Organization offi-cials said. EV-D68 is a respiratory illness
that dates back to 1962. This once rare enterovirus has spread rapidly across the United States and has infected hundreds, if not thousands, of children. While most people who contract EV-D68 will only have mild symp-toms of a low-grade fever and runny nose, others have been hospitalized with acute respira-tory problems and even paralysis

in their extremities. Those who are at greatest risk are children and teenagers, especially if they have asthma. What has changed in our en-
vironment that these diseases have appeared on our doorstep? In one word, travel. Patients exhibiting cold and
flu-like symptoms need to be questioned regarding their travel history. While chikungunya and dengue are mosquito-borne ill-nesses, those who have traveled to countries where these diseas-es are prevalent can bring home more than souvenirs. Then, too, Florida now plays host to these particular mosquitos and viruses as well. Those at risk of contract-ing Ebola is usually limited to family, close friends and health-care workers who have been in direct contact with an infected person’s blood or other bodily fluids, including tears. With EV-D68, it has been likely that most children infected with this virus weren’t tested for it, and proper precautions not taken. Physicians Immediate Care,
the largest provider of ambula-tory and urgent health care on the Treasure Coast, has devel-oped algorithms that its staff has
adopted, says Kenneth J. Pal-estrant, M.D., CEO and Medical Director. “Healthcare professionals
should familiarize themselves with symptoms of chikungun-ya, dengue, Ebola and EV-D68 and routinely ask patients about recent travel,” Palestrant said. “Correct and early diag-nosis is the best way to treat and contain the spread of these viruses.” Physicians Immediate Care
operates five clinics located in St. Lucie and Martin counties that offer convenient hours seven days a week. No appointment is needed.

LUCIE COUNTY — The St. Lucie County Cooperative Ex-tension, in conjunction with the Manatee Observation and Edu-cation Center and Adams Ranch are “Buggin’ Out on a Bat-tas-tic Night with Nature at Adams Ranch” on Wednesday, Oct. 29, starting at 6:30 p.m. During this event, Erin Cartmill, education coordinator for the Manatee Center, along with Ken Gioeli and Anita Neal, UF/IFAS St. Lucie County Extension agents, and the Adams family will guide you on a search for life after dark. Have you ever wondered what
kind of bats and bugs live in Florida? What kind of bugs do bats eat? Are insects and bats dangerous to humans? Meet at Adams Ranch for an informative bat chat with guest speaker Ken Gioeli, University of Florida/St. Lucie County Extension Natural Resource agent. Learn about this fascinating, beautiful, misunder-
stood mammal that is an essen-tial part of a healthy ecosystem. Participants will also learn about our nocturnal insects. Anita Neal will be sharing information about insects and the important role they play in the environment. As the sun sets, the group will travel into onto the Adam’s Ranch prop-erty, located at 26003 Orange Ave., Fort Pierce, in search of life after dark. Gioeli will bring along bat detectors and night vision goggles in the quest to discover these nocturnal creatures. Neal will be on hand to identify in-sects. Program registration fees are
$20 per person for non-members and $15 per person for Manatee Center members. Pre-registra-tion and payment is required and spaces are limited. To re-serve space, call Erin at (772) 466-1600, Ext. 3337 (phones are routed through FPUA). This event is organized by the Manatee Cen-ter.
