City manager search expected to start soon

PORT ST. LUCIE — Six months after its city manager was re-leased, the city will soon begin talks about finding a permanent replacement.

In February, then-city manager Greg Oravec was relieved from his post following a scandal that rocked city hall.Oravec shined light on a brew-

ing controversy in an emailed 82-page package of memos that chronicled a volatile relationship between he and Councilman Ron Bowen since Bowen took

office in November. Oravec said the release to the press was an accident he regretted and was remorseful for.One memo hinted that four

members privately convened to discuss Oravec’s worth in his post, a direct violation of Sun-

Water wars between city and county

PORT ST. LUCIE — A war over water between the city and coun-ty seems far from being settled in the immediate future.The 3,107-acre tract of land

in contention, known as McCa-rty Ranch, is located off Glades Cutoff and Range Line roads near PGA Village and is currently controlled and zoned by St. Lucie County because it is located in an unincorporated area within the county’s boundaries. The city of Port St. Lucie bought

the land in November for $10 million to use for water treatment and recreational use including fishing, canoeing and camping. If the land is annexed into the

city, the St. Lucie West Services

Unemployment inches upward

TREASURE COAST — Three large employers might put a dent in area unemployment later, but from June to July the Treasure Coast continued suf-

fering its usual summer slump in employment. The Port St. Lucie Metropolitan

Statistical Area’s not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in July was 9.5 percent, according to the state’s monthly jobs re-

I’m so very happy, I just cannot believe the difference Mutter’s Hearing Center made in my life! The last place I went they stuck hearing aids in my ears and told me I could hear better when I really could not. I was so unhappy. Joe, took time to listen and I now hear better than I ever have. Thank you Joe Mutter and Mutter’s Hearing Center.

New director sees growth for VGTI

PORT ST. LUCIE — For Rich-ard Jove, taking the helm at the Vaccine and Therapy Institute of Florida is a return to a state he knows well. From 1995-2005, he served as a researcher and pro-fessor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine and helped establish the Moffitt Can-cer Center in Tampa. Jove assumed his position as

VGTI’s director on July 1, coming from California, where he was director of the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope.The new director, who holds a

doctorate in molecular biology from Columbia University, did post-doctoral work at the famed Rockefeller University in New York City. His field was viral oncology and he hopes to bring VGTI to the forefront in cancer research in this area and nation-ally. In a recent interview, he spoke

about returning to Florida and what he hopes to accomplish at VGTI. One of his reasons for taking the new position was the opportunity to establish the area

as a biomedical leader. “One of the most important fac-

tors was that I knew that (former) Gov. Jeb Bush and the legislature had made a commitment to devel-oping a biomedical and biotechni-cal research corridor,” he said. “I love Florida. I had helped

start Moffitt. I detoured to Los Angeles, but I came back to my senses and realized that this was the place to be. I feel I can make more of a difference here. This is a special community on the Trea-sure Coast. It appreciates what we do and is very supportive. We’re very grateful.”Jove emphasized that he sees

VGTI as working in partnership with the community.“We are here on behalf of the

state to work with citizens to help improve health care in Florida,” he said. “We have world class re-search here. That’s the vision, to bring in world class researchers. You don’t do it alone. We work with the state, with (NIH) grants and with the community.”The ailments that researchers at

VGTI are targeting, such as can-cer and infectious diseases, are diseases of aging.“As we age, we are less likely

to be able to fight them off,” he

said. “We’re here for the citizens of Florida and our communities. We want to have a partnership to tackle disease.”In March, Martin Health Sys-

tem and Jupiter Medical Center agreed to work together with VGTI on clinical trials of promis-ing cancer treatments developed by VGTI researchers. Other col-laborations and partnerships are being discussed.Cancer has been the focus of

Jove’s research for most of his professional career. He is excited about leading an organization that will take basic research and translate it into treatments. “I’m a builder,” he said. “I

like to build and I’m back in building mode in Florida, imple-menting and building on all of my experience in translational re-search and administration.“VGTI is poised to take off like a

rocket. We’re into an exponential growth phase. We’re recruiting world class scientists in HIV, flu, dengue fever. Our focus is on the aging immune system. We want to be relevant to our community and we’re focusing on that.”Jove said that there is a great

deal to be learned about the immune process as we age, dis-

covering how that aging impacts disease progression and response to therapy.“My emphasis is cancer,” Jove

said. “Cancer is a disease of aging and of genetics. As we begin to identify the causes and best ther-apies, we can make personalized, precision medicine. It starts with a genetic profile and tailors the therapies for the maximum thera-peutic outcome.”One of the most promising areas

of research is for therapies that target the tumor cell and also manipulate the host immune sys-

County lots, homes available for a stealST. LUCIE COUNTY — The

county has more than a dozen deals for buyers looking for a bar-gain in the mending real estate market.St. Lucie County has 14 vacant

lots and five foreclosed homes that are available for sale as af-fordable housing, county staffers said.The vacant lots, which are most-

ly small slivers of land, range from .01 acres to .29 acres. The smallest pieces of land will only be up for sale to land owners who own property abutting the avail-able pieces, said JoAnn Riley, county property acquisitions manager.But there are two lots available

that can be built on, Riley said. Those lots are .21 acres and .29 acres. Florida law requires counties to

inventory property they own every few years. After a review by the county’s commission, the land is put up for bid, Riley said.“These are properties wherein

land owners didn’t pay taxes,” she said.If nobody buys the land, they

stay in the county’s possession.The lots range in price from

$100 to $3,000.Five surplus properties are also

up for grabs if a buyer meets purchase requirements, which are income-restricted. The county received a two-year federal neigh-borhood stabilization grant for approximately $1.9 million. With the money, the county purchased foreclosed homes, rehabbed them or demolished them and rebuilt. Once the houses are complete, they are put up for sale, said Connie McIver, who is a hous-ing program specialist with the county.“The prices range between

Services district board members lock hornsST. LUCIE WEST — Fireworks

erupted at this month’s St. Luc-ie West Services District board meeting when its chairman threatened to censure another member for making what he called insulting remarks during a formal July meeting.“You’ve violated the rules, you

insulted the board, you’ve dis-rupted the board, you’ve made remarks which are unbecoming of the supervisors in this dis-trict,” said Chairman Harvey Cutler, a Cascades resident who was appointed in 2008.Cutler spoke directly to super-

visor Sal Mancuso, who, accord-ing to a July meeting transcript, implied the board was incom-petent. Mancuso was elected and appointed to the board last year. He also served on previous boards.

“I don’t even know if the board knows what’s really happening!” transcripts show Mancuso said during a discussion about the district’s budget.Assistant secretary and super-

visor Charles B. Altwein asked Mancuso for a public apology. “Mr. Mancuso is a rule-maker

and as such, he should set an example for others to follow. By virtue of the position, he must reach for a higher standard,” Altwein said. “I ask the board to support my request that Mr. Mancuso follow the rules as stated here, to refrain at all times from rude and derogatory remarks, reflections as to in-tegrity, abusive comments and statements as demotivates of personality to the board, senior staff, employees and the general public.”Mancuso admitted his wrongs,

tem so that it mounts a response to the cancer.“With a tumor, the microenvi-

ronment is out of control,” Jove said. “It is creating an environ-ment that aggravates the tumor and doing so causes it to be more aggressive. It suppresses the anti-tumor immune response, known as tolerance.“Communication between the

tumor cells and the immune cells has gone awry. We’ve created a pre-metastatic niche and inflam-mation that is an ideal place for tumors to spread to. We need to develop ways to break im-mune system tolerance and flip the switch to turn it against the tumor. “We’re trying to understand what

allows tumor cells to grow out of control. It’s often an interplay of cells and underlying genetics. We have to identify the underly-ing causes and how they interact with each other.”Much of the research at VGTI

focuses on disease prevention and vaccines, and Jove expects to bring in researchers with exper-

tise in this area. He is concerned that some controversy over the word ‘vaccine’ has arisen in some quarters and noted that vaccines against polio and other diseases have saved millions of lives.“Vaccines save 2 million lives per

year worldwide,” he said. “It’s not trivial. It’s the most successful therapeutic in the history of man-kind. That is the reason we do emphasize vaccines. The immune system is a powerful weapon for infectious diseases from outside our bodies and cancers inside our bodies.”For Richard Jove and other re-

searchers at VGTI, the end result is therapies that make life better. “It’s about the patients,” he said.

“We do basic research and take the next step, translating discov-eries into new therapies as fast as we can for the citizens of Florida who are impacted by an aging im-mune system. We want to do this in partnership with the commu-nity. This is our mission, to carry out the original vision of bringing science and therapies right here.”

District could acquire acres from the city at a low price to use as stormwater retention ponds, which would help ease flooding in the area.The city wants the land annexed

into its control so it can supply water to more than 407,000 cus-tomers expected to reside in Port St. Lucie by 2060.At its Aug. 12 meeting, the city

council approved a motion to annex the land, but rejected the county commission’s proposal to exclude a 150-foot strip of land linked to the C-23 canal out of the deal.City staffers said the small strip,

known as “Parcel D,” is the sole reason the city purchased the property.“That parcel is critical to us, for

the success of our project,” said Donna Rhoden, the city’s utility safety and public affairs manager.The city wants to build a sur-

face water system on McCarty Ranch to capture wasted water and purify it with Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells (ASR Wells) to use for drinking water. Those wells would capture water from the C-23 canal, which would help meet the projected population demand down the road.“The city does not have adequate

water supplies secured to meet our build-out demands,” Rhoden told the council.Parcel D would also relieve

stress on the Floridan Aquifer, which is a finite resource, Rhoden said. Right now, the city receives 80 percent of its water from the aquifer.Rhoden said if the strip isn’t an-

nexed, the city could face a water shortage as it did in 1992.From 1990-1994 the city’s utility

was under St. Lucie County’s management.“The county did not have a

vision for the city’s future,” she said.“(There was) no planning to

accommodate growth,” Rhoden said. “That was a danger sign. Alarms should have been sound-ing.”In May of 1992, there was a

record-breaking demand for water. Roughly 10,000 residents lost water and water pressure for others were significantly low-ered, causing nine public schools to temporarily close. Club Med toilets wouldn’t flush and grocery stores and restaurants had to close until water was restored.

In 1994, utilities were trans-ferred to the city, but another shortage hit almost 10 years later in 2005 when St. Lucie West had a water emergency. On Feb. 20, 7,500 of St. Lucie West’s custom-ers were without water for nine hours. The next day was a dry day as well, Rhoden said.The city obtained emergency

authorization to open its mains to St. Lucie west. “A second water interconnect

remained in service for eight months to help service customers in the southeast portion of St. Lucie West,” Rhoden said. “More than 90 million gallons of city water passed through the new interconnect.”In 1994, the system’s water

treatment capacity was 6 million gallons per day. Today it’s 41.65 million gallons per day.By 2060, with a projected popu-

lation of more than 407,000 cus-tomers on city water, it will need 70.29 million gallons of water per day to serve that demand.“Problem is, we only have 51.513

secured, leaving us with a short-fall of nearly 19 million gallons per day,” Rhoden said.“… The McCarty ranch site is an

ideal location for such a system.”Both government staffs met

during a conflict resolution meet-ing on July 17 at the county’s administrative complex in Fort Pierce. The county’s attorney, Dan

McIntyre, recommended full an-nexation. But at an August coun-ty commission meeting, the offer was amended to omit Parcel D.“I’d love to know what happened

since the conflict resolution to today that this little strip of land has become so vastly important to the county that it doesn’t get annexed in there, because that’s the crux of what’s going on here,” Councilwoman Shannon Martin said.The county commission and

staff expressed concerns the strip would create an enclave where the county would have to travel through the city or Martin County to get to more of its own land and well fields.“This parcel takes a chunk out

of the county service area and the county believes it can cause dif-ficulty with access to the rest of the county’s service area and pos-sibly risk the county’s planned water supply for the district’s southwest area,” St. Lucie Coun-ty utility director Laurie Waldie

said.The county can serve the city if

need be, Waldie said.“If for some reason this doesn’t

go the city’s way and it goes the county’s way, that’s going to have your name on the recommenda-tion to move forward,” Council-woman Michelle Berger warned Waldie.McIntyre said he would like to

avoid litigation between the two governments.“People don’t like governments

suing each other … We’ve got a

lot of other more important things to do together,” McIntyre said.The city’s assistant attorney Az-

lina Goldstein Siegel insisted no enclaves will be created.The next step is a joint meeting

between the commission and city council. A date for the meeting has not been set. Mayor JoAnn Faiella requested the process be expedited.“This is not personal, it’s busi-

ness,” Faiella stressed. “We still have great communication and a great partnership going on. I don’t think that will change.”

board members.“I have never in my life, ever

meant to reach a point where I have any personal argument with the board,” Mancuso said. “I do not ever intend to personally feel any animosity to the board, be-cause we’re all elected people and we’re all trying to do our best.”“There was no harm intended.

They were just comments. If it’s an apology the board is looking for, I will try my very best not to repeat this type of activity,” Man-cuso said.Had Mancuso decided to ignore

the apology request, Cutler said he was prepared to make a mo-tion to formally censure Mancuso for “disruptive, rude and belliger-ent behavior.”“I understand what you say

when you said you didn’t have any intent, but that isn’t the case, that isn’t the point,” Cutler countered. “The point is what you say in public is in the public re-cord of public office and it should not happen.”Assistant secretary and supervi-

sor Vince D’Amico said a censure

would have destroyed the board.“I think this is unfortunate and

I don’t want to see this happen,” he said. “It would tear up the board.”Vice chairman Everett Child said

the board has bigger issues to tackle.“I would hope that we’re all

above petty individual indiscre-tions that may have taken place,” Child said. “I would like to see the matter dropped with each of us being a little more careful of what we say at board meetings being misconstrued as derogatory.”Cutler ended the monthly meet-

ing with a warning.“Any further incident or any

nature of further comments that are derogatory to this board or anybody in the future, I’ll make this motion and I’ll try my best to have you censured,” Cutler said.

Cutler countered. “The point is what you say in public is in the

public record of public office and it should not happen.”

figure at 9.5 percent, St. Luc-ie and Martin counties had the third highest unemployment rate among the state’s 20 MSAs and three Metropolitan Divisions last month. The Palm Coast MSA topped the state for unemploy-ment at 10.4 percent. The Sebas-tian-Vero MSA took the unenvi-able second-place at 9.7. The Port St. Lucie MSA’s not

seasonally adjusted unemploy-ment rate in April was 8.2 per-cent. Florida’s seasonally-adjusted

unemployment rate in July was 7.1 percent, which held steady from the previous month. The not seasonally-adjusted rate was 7.4, which also held steady from the previous month. However, the not seasonally-adjusted unem-ployment rate was 9.2 percent in July, 2012. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in July last year was 8.7 percent. Even with the stagnation, the

state’s employment numbers still show some progress. The last time the state was a 7.0 percent or less unemployment was in September, 2008. Additional-ly, Florida is below the national July unemployment number, 7.4 percent. July was the fifth con-secutive month that the state’s unemployment numbers were below the nation’s.Martin County is fairing better

on the jobs front than its neigh-bor to the north. About 59,400 of its nearly 64,500 workers were employed in July, putting the county at 7.8 percent not sea-

sonally-adjusted unemployment. St. Lucie has a workforce almost twice as large: about 126,500. Of those, about 113,000 had some level of employment. That county’s unemployment rate was at 10.4 percent in July, up from 10.3 percent in June. The unemployment rate is

calculated using a variety of methods. Among them are tele-phone interviews with workers. Those that report not having jobs and looking for employment in the previous 30 days are count-ed as unemployed. Discouraged workers — those who are able to work and want jobs, but have not sought employment in the previ-ous 30 days — are not counted in the unemployment figure. Many call this “shadow unemploy-ment,” and it’s inherently difficult to track due to variations for why people don’t seek jobs. Odaly Victorio, communications

coordinator for Workforce Solu-tions of the Treasure Coast, said St. Lucie and Martin counties will see improved employment num-bers by fall. The counties have slightly different hospitality em-ployment than other parts of the state, due to variations in tourist seasons. “Our better numbers are in our

season, which starts in October and runs to April,” she said in previous interviews. Earlier in August, Bass Pro

Shops and Burlington Coat Factory held hiring fairs for new stores opening in St. Lucie. On Wednesday, Aug. 28, Martin Health Systems will do short in-terviews at the Port St. Lucie Civ-ic Center. Attendees must apply online at martinhealth.org/jobs before the event. Martin Health Systems is opening a facility in Tradition. Victorio said the three combined

will employ more than 1,000.

shine Law. In an exchange between Oravec

and Bowen, post-dated Dec. 19, 2012, Bowen wrote, “First of all, you seem to have a bad habit of wanting the last word with me no matter what the circumstance is,” Bowen said. “Your self-righ-teous tone of voice on a voice message has me wondering if you understand that you work for the Council.Bowen recommended the mo-

tion to approve the separation and general release of Oravec, who left with a severance pack-age. It was passed in a 4-0 vote because one council member was out of town.In Oravec’s absence, Jeff

Bremer assumed the interim role while the city was to search na-

tionally for a new city manager.Mayor JoAnn Faiella said she

plans to put the topic on a near-ing workshop next month.“The next thing is to get it on a

workshop (agenda) in the begin-ning of September,” Faiella said. “As a council, we’ll talk about what’s going to be our next step.”Faiella praised the work Bremer

has done since February.“He’s been wonderful. He

doesn’t pacify the council. He’s straight and to the point. He’s got a heart,” she said.“The overwhelming response

from city staff, employees and others compliment me on how he comes across as a city manager and how well he interacts.”The next city council workshop

is scheduled for Sept. 13 at 9 a.m. at the Port St. Lucie Com-munity Center located at 2195 S.E. Airoso Blvd., Port St. Lucie.

Local veterans rallyin support offormer service officer

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Military veterans were trained to fight for what they believe in. Richard “Nitro” Vassar is doing just that. Vassar, and he said many oth-er St. Lucie veterans, believe in Donna Carlsen. She was, until Aug. 7, St. Lucie County’s veteran services coordinator. Vassar said her recent termina-

tion is an insult to an injury on local veterans.“The veterans have taken a big

hit because of the way (county staff) treated this,” he said. Carlsen started as a county

veterans services officer in 2001. In a telephone interview, she said the county alleged insubordina-tion and terminated her. Erik Gill, St. Lucie’s public informa-tion officer, confirmed that she was involuntarily terminated. Carlsen said county staff asked her to sign an agreement ac-cepting a pay cut. She consulted Jeffrey Bumb, area vice president of the County Veterans Service Officers Association of Florida. Carlsen said he recommend-ed not signing it, so she didn’t. Bumb, in a telephone interview, politely declined to comment about the incident. Vassar is secretary of the Veter-

ans Council of St. Lucie County. The council is made up of repre-

sentatives from about 20 of St. Lucie’s veterans service organiza-tions, such as AMVETS. It’s or-ganized through the county’s vet-erans services. The Vietnam-era Army veteran is a member of the Special Forces Association, Chap-ter 85 — Treasure Coast Chapter, Stuart. That’s just the start. “I’m all the Vs,” he said. “(Veter-

ans of Foreign Wars), (Disabled American Veterans), you name it. If it’s got a V in it, I’m in it.” Vassar said many of St. Lucie’s

veterans are still sore over the county’s 2010 decision to consol-idate veterans services into the community services department. “What it amounts to: for years

the office, the veterans services office, was its own entity with the county,” he said. “A couple years back, it fell into community services. In effect, it was civilians running a military organization.” Tod Mowery, St. Lucie Com-

mission chairman, said that the county was facing a financial cri-sis at the time and had to down-size. It consolidated departments from 18 to nine. Property values had drastically dropped, he said, and the county commission was seeking ways to make as painless of cuts as possible. “They went through a lot of con-

solidation,” he said. “Millions and millions of savings needed to be looked at.”

From 2009 to more recently, many counties have eyed veter-ans services as a place to make reductions, said Mike White, president of the County Veter-ans Service Officers Association. Veterans hotly oppose most any changes to county’s veterans ser-vices in almost every case, he also said. White said moving veterans services into other departments, usually community and social services, has become increasingly popular with counties. Some have looked at contracting with outside organizations to provide veterans services. “It’s my opinion (veterans ser-

vices) needs to be a stand-alone department,” White said. County veterans service offic-

es were created by the Florida Legislature as World War II was winding down. Their primary function is helping veterans apply for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, VA. However, White said, the counties’ veterans services become a fulcrum for area veterans and veterans orga-nizations to coordinate efforts to help other veterans their commu-nities. State statute forbids non-veter-

ans from being county veterans service officers. Beth Ryder, director of St. Luc-

ie’s community services, said that

nothing significant has changed for St. Lucie’s veterans services since the 2010 consolidation. “It is an independent division

(within the community services department),” Ryder said. “I feel very good about the service we provide. We don’t get any real-ly negative feedback. There was never a time the veterans were not being served. I’m very proud of that.” Carlsen said veterans services

has suffered in the consolidation, but it’s difficult for non-veterans to understand how. She said veteran service officers are most effective when instead of waiting for veterans to go to them they go to the veterans most likely to need, but not know about, vari-ous VA benefits. She said due to cutbacks to the veterans services when it was consolidated into community services, that became a thing of the past in St. Lucie. “There is no doubt in my mind

that outreach has declined,” Carlsen said. White wouldn’t comment on the

termination of Carlsen, or St. Lucie’s decision to consolidate veterans services into communi-ty services. However, he said it behooves counties to consider the opinions of veterans. “It’s important to develop a

rapport with the veterans service

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Veronica Kolib-ab, has been transferred from Indian River County to St. Lucie County as the director of Special Events. Kolibab has lived in Port Saint Lucie since 1985. She has been an independent business owner and an active member of the community, including par-ticipation in local chambers of commerce, community events, and charitable events. Kolibab has over a decade of experience in

sales, community relations and marketing. She also co-founded the Martini Network which has been successfully connecting business professionals for the last five years in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River coun-ties. She actively participated in forming the Hibiscus Children’s Center’s St. Lucie Guild as a volunteer in 2008. Kolibab says “I have a passion for the cause by having a first-hand knowledge of what some of these children are experiencing.” Kolibab has been the director of special

events for Indian River County since June of 2012. Indian River County events exceeded their budget goals for 2012-2013 event sea-son and she brought several new donors, event ideas and opportu-nities to Hibiscus Children’s Center during the last 12 months with the agency in Indian River County. Kolibab will be building a new Saint Lucie Volunteer Guild that

will include both men and women and creating fundraising opportu-nities here in St. Lucie County. “I believe we can create some amazing opportunities in St. Lucie County to raise much needed

funds so we can continue to shelter and protect the children” said Kolibab.

Tips for kicks ST. LUCIE WEST — The kicker

isn’t as big or as fast as their football contemporaries and kick-ing a football looks as elemen-tary a skill as it comes. But Fabrizio Scaccia hopes to teach otherwise. Scaccia, who is a veteran

place kicker in the Arena Foot-ball League, is offering lessons to young and aspiring kickers looking for tips and secrets from a professional. “It’s one-on-one lessons,” Scac-

cia said. “I’m offering eighth-grad-ers and high school kids who want to play football at the high school level and even seniors who are going to college a chance to gain some insight behind what I do and what it takes.” “I’ll teach them the ins and

outs, the mental side of kicking and the proper technique.” Scaccia’s football career be-

gan in 1999 during his freshmen year at St. Lucie West Centennial High School, where he helped the Eagles capture a district title. Football, however, was not Scac-cia’s first love.

“I played soccer since I was 4 years old and when I got to high school, I had every intention on playing soccer and not football,” Scaccia said. “The football coach from Centennial came to our soccer field and said he needed a football kicker and asked me to try out. I didn’t really want to do it, but I did it just to see what I had.” “The coach put the ball down at

50 yards and I kicked it through the uprights. He told me I had a spot on the team if I wanted and I’ve ran with that opportunity ever since.” Well, if it has worked out so

well for Scaccia, can any soccer player step onto the football field and succeed? It’s not that simple. “A lot of soccer guys would say

‘I can do it’ and when they get up there to kick, the ball rolls versus getting it up in the air,” Scaccia said. “It’s not about how long you’ve played soccer or how far you can kick a soccer ball, because the sweet spot and the flight of the ball is very different.” After his time at Centennial

was over, Scaccia played semi-pro ball locally for the Fort Pierce

organizations, and it’s important for the county to listen to them,” he said Vassar said the council will dis-

cuss asking the county commis-sion to overturn Carlsen’s termi-nation and renewing efforts to bifurcate veterans services from community services. That meet-ing will be at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29, in the conference room located near the county’s veter-ans service office, 1664 S.E. Wal-ton Road, Port St. Lucie. That’s at the Dorothy J. Conrad Building. “I’m thinking the majority, they

feel it’s their place to at least make it known (to the county commission) how we feel about it,” Vassar said.

Mowery said the county commis-sion is legally constrained from inserting itself into personnel de-cisions. Only two county workers serve at the will of the commis-sion — the county administrator, Faye Outlaw, and county attor-ney, Daniel McIntyre. Additional-ly, Mowery said the commission is unlikely to bifurcate veterans services from community ser-vices. “Really, nothing has been

demonstrated that it needs to be a stand-alone office,” he said. Mowery is not a veteran.Wayne Teegardin, who is now St.

Lucie County veterans services manager, also politely declined to comment, offering that Veteran Voice can make a public records request for personnel files.

Fire and Port St. Lucie Bobcats. While with the Bobcats in

2009, Scaccia hit a 68 yard field goal, one of the longest field goals ever recorded. For perspective purposes and aided by Denver’s thin air, the longest field goal ever record in the NFL is a 65-yard field goal by Ola Kimrin in pre-season game for the Broncos in 2002. The historic kick landed Sca-

ccia in a feature for Sports Illus-trated and on the radar of many AFL teams. In 2010, Scaccia began his Arena Football League

career in 2010 with the Arizona Rattlers. In addition to his time with the Rattlers, he has had stints with the Philadelphia Soul in 2012 and with the Iowa Barn-stormers. In 2011, Scaccia signed a

practice squad contract with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, but due to the uncertainty surround-ing the upcoming NFL season after the players were locked out, Scaccia returned to the AFL. For additional information on

Retired executive teaches others to excel

ST. LUCIE WEST — When Jane Bachelor came to Florida in 2000, she kept her high-powered career as a human resources business executive and con-sultant for major corporations around the country. In 2002, she retired.“I retired and made my full-time

job to learn how to play golf,” she said. “I wanted to do hobby-type things. I discovered an interest in radio broadcasting and did volunteer PR for local organiza-tions. I volunteered at hospice and the Backus Museum.”Bachelor also enjoyed gourmet

cooking and wine tasting, and it was at a wine tasting that her life took another turn.“As I tell my students now,

never, ever underestimate the power of networking or be sur-prised when something crosses your path,” she said. “I was at a wine tasting with no expectation except to enjoy (it.) “I came away with an appoint-

ment for a job interview to work at the Indian River Research and Education Center of the Uni-versity of Florida in Fort Pierce. They were looking for someone

who could teach human resourc-es and sales.”With a background in human

resources and experience selling her expertise as a consultant, Bachelor had the right skill set. She got the job. She has been an employee of

the University of Florida since 2004 and is now a senior busi-ness lecturer, reaching courses statewide in human resources management, strategic selling, agribusiness management and entrepreneurship. She is also writing and developing her first graduate level curriculum, in human resources management, for the new degree program in Natural Resources Policy and Administration. The program is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2014.In addition to her academic

endeavors, Bachelor was recent-ly elected to the University of Florida senate. She assumes that post after an upcoming orienta-tion. The road to Jane Bachelor’s

“retirement” began in Montana, where she was born, and con-tinued in Okalahoma, where she lived for many years. She received an undergraduate de-

gree in business with a minor in education from the University of Oklahoma at Norman and taught high school in Kentucky while putting herself through gradu-ate school at the University of Kentucky, where she earned an M.B.A.She began her career at Prim-

erica as a staff auditor, doing analysis and business reviews. After six years, she was associate director of cash and banking and was recruited by Avon Products to work in their world headquar-ters in New York City as corpo-rate human resources manager.Her next step was the New York

Times Co., where she was divi-sional human resources manager for one of their divisions. “I was brought in for my experi-

ence in operations, financial and human resources experience,” she said. “I was responsible for taking a small administrative personnel unit and creating a value-added human resources division.” Bachelor said that the person-

nel units had traditionally dealt with record-keeping, benefits and compliance issues, whereas human resources divisions were a part of the strategic planning for an organization. “My job was to take it from a

barebones personnel unit to be a strategic entity,” she said. “There

were six offices throughout the United States and all of the units had to feel they worked in the same division. I was the first HR person there who traveled to each office. “I was able to help employees

understand training and employ-ment issues. We were there to help with succession planning and division management. It was a really fun job, starting from scratch and building an effective unit within the organization.” She was promoted to the cor-

porate offices in New York City and worked on corporate-wide projects, coordinating and imple-menting systems and processes throughout all of the company’s units except the flagship paper. It included a number of other pa-pers and business holdings. Eventually she was recruited

by a consulting firm as a senior manager. “It was a world-class human

resources consulting business in New York City and Connecti-cut,” she said. “I was working with Fortune 200-500 companies about best practices and opera-tions.” As a senior project manager,

she worked on multiple projects for companies in diverse indus-tries including banking, retail and medical supply. “It was nice to have a wide va-

riety of business and industries,” she said. “Every project was

different. The common thread was that when you left, you left a better company than when they hired you. They had a problem that you helped them resolve.” After several years of consult-

ing and putting in 70-80 hours a week, Bachelor made that decision to retire. When she was offered the teaching post at the University of Florida, she wasn’t discouraged, even though it was in agribusiness management, a field out of her area of expertise.“I had a lot of experience in

management,” she said. “It was taking the principles and doing the research into agribusiness and putting it together.” Her course started as a state-

wide offering. Students had to travel to one of the 13 Research and Education Centers to view the course, which was taught live on camera. Four years ago, she was asked to convert them so that they could be delivered online anyplace in the world. Throughout the semester, Bach-elor holds live virtual sessions where she holds discussions and answers questions.Bachelor expressed excitement

about her election to the Univer-sity senate.“Since I haven’t been to orienta-

tion, I don’t know the full scope of what they’re responsible for. I was excited when I was asked to put my name forward. It’s important for people to take an active role on their own destiny and stay abreast of the issues. When I take on an assignment, I tend not to just be a commit-ted member. I tend to get very involved.” Bachelor is also on the board of

directors of the Treasure Coast Education and Research Devel-opment Authority, an organiza-tion seeking to develop a 1,650 acre research park in western St. Lucie County. She serves on the Budget Advisory Committee to the St. Lucie County School Board and is a volunteer with the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides against Breast Cancer program. “It’s put a dent in being able to

be anything other than a casual golfer,” she said. “I just have lots and lots of interests. It’s nice to live in a community where you can try your hand at lots of dif-ferent things.”

courses or be placed on a wait-ing list for enrollment in the new Master of Natural Resources Pol-icy and Administrating program, contact Jackie White, academic coordinator, at [email protected].

Multi-talented musician has many career options

PALM CITY — Ryan Owens is at a crossroads. The 25-year-old Martin County High School graduate grew up performing with Shiloh Theat-rical Productions and StarStruck Performing Arts Center. Last year, he began playing live music, as a solo act, and with the band, Cerve-

za. As a hobby, he paints custom-ized guitars.“I’m trying to figure out where I

want to go with my creativity,” he said. “I’m at the 25-year-old junc-ture, where you have to decide which direction. I have things I re-ally enjoy doing. People said, ‘Don’t do what you hate.’ I knew at a very young age I loved what I was doing.

I’m still in the allowed-to-figure-it-out zone.”As a solo act, Owens plays the

acoustic guitar and sings at venues from Jupiter to Vero Beach.“It’s a mix of Marvin Gaye, Steve

Miller, Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz and James Taylor,” he said. “It’s background music at a restaurant. I’ve been performing all my life. It’s a weird dynamic to be in the back-ground.”Owens recently began playing bass

with Cerveza. They play Island mu-sic and soft rock. He can be found on Monday evenings with Cerveza at the Osceola Street Café, for open mic night. “It’s the best open mic night,”

he said. “There are different acts every 15 minutes and there’s a live stream online. It’s nice because my family in Georgia or Kentucky can go online and put it on their com-puter and basically be at the open mic.”Owens is also putting in time at

local Stuart studio, Rain Cat Re-cording, working on a CD. That has given him a taste for the production end and he can see himself going into producing. Then there’s that juncture again.

While it seems as though his career is moving into the musical realm, Owens has not given up the idea of being in the theater.

“I always had a passion for per-forming,” he said. “I’m trained in every aspect of the theater from the staging, lighting and sound. I want to direct.”There is a serious side to all of this

exploration. Owens would like to settle down and have a family and he knows he needs to decide how he’s going to make a living. He has considered going back to school to study business or public relations. “I do want to have a family and I

need to figure out how to make it happen while doing something I love,” he said. “I know I can be good at anything I put my mind to. I’m trying to save money to go to New York or Los Angeles and do some auditions.“I’m doing what I love to do and I

get to do it every day. That’s not a bad thing. I know I want to do more and I know I can. I just need to step up my game.” Ryan Owens is available to per-

form at private parties. He can be reached by email at [email protected] is on Facebook at www.facebook.com/The Ryan Owens. To listen to open mic night at the

Osceola Street Café from 8 p.m.-mid-night on Mondays, visit the website http://livelink.local.com.For more information about Cerve-

za, send an email to [email protected]. or visit the Facebook page www.facebook.com/cervezago.

Shindig’s men to sport red high heels, support SafeSpace’s Walk A Mile in Her Shoes

PORT ST. LUCIE — Move over kilts, there’s a new fashion trend for the Irish. For the second year in a row, the men at Shindig Irish Restaurant and Pub in Port St. Lucie are putting on their red high heels and hosting a “Walk a While” event to stand up against domes-tic violence and support SafeS-pace, the only domestic violence outreach center on the Treasure Coast. On Thursday, Sept. 12, Shin-

dig’s will host its “Walk A While” from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and collect donations to benefit SafeSpace’s annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes event. Shindig’s will also donate 10 percent of all proceeds made that night to the Treasure Coast nonprofit. Following the “Walk A While” event, the public is invited to stay and enjoy the live entertain-ment that will begin at 9 pm. The three hour “Walk A While”

event is one of six geared toward raising awareness for the issue of domestic violence and the upcom-ing Walk A Mile in her Shoes event on Oct. 12 at Tradition Square. Shindig Irish Restaurant and

Pub is located at 464 S.W. Port St. Lucie Blvd. For more information on the

event, or to register for Walk A Mile in Her Shoes, visit www.safespacefl.org/events, or call Tracy Levy at (772) 223-2399. SafeSpace is a 501(c)3 nonprofit

port, and education to empower them and provide the assistance necessary for them to set a positive direction for their future. Shelter facilities for victims are located in Martin and Indian River counties and serves victims throughout the
