Scott sees lagoon cesspool
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerGov. Rick Scott, Sen. Joe Negron and a contingency of officials held a press confer-ence after touring the lock in Stuart to survey the water being released from Lake Okeechobee into the Indian River Lagoon. The visit by the governor at Phipps Park Tuesday, Aug. 20 was attended by several hundred protesters that never got to actual-ly see Gov. Scott and voice their concerns directly.
TREASURE COAST — After seeing firsthand the forceful dis-charges of dirty water from Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie Lock and Dam last week, Gov. Rick Scott flatly placed blame on the federal government for the freshwater’s destruction of the Indian River Lagoon.“The federal government has got
to start showing up and doing their job,” Scott said to a crush of media on Aug. 20. “They got

St. Lucie has strong stance at Senate panel
TORINO — Residents who forged a united front against a drug detoxification facility in their back-yards met during a private meeting last week to formulate a stronger strategy opposing the center.A room full of approximately 70 Torino-area
residents packed a private room in Superplay USA in St. Lucie West on Aug. 20 to create a more aggressive approach to protest the two-building treatment center for recovering addicts. The same

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — President Barack Obama is aware of the distress the Indian River Lagoon is in, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, said during his testimony at a select Senate panel last week on the lagoon’s deteriorating health.“I already sent him letters and already spoke to
him about this. In fact, when I was elected, be-cause of the hard work of my office and a lot of the people here, we were able to secure several million dollars in funding in beach renourishment,

Jewish parents upset with school calendar error ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Some
Jewish parents are upset with a school calendar error. Lawyer Stuart Address, who has a child attending Morningside Elementa-ry, said those parents tried nego-tiating with the St. Lucie County Public Schools for a few months to correct it, but to no avail. He found out about it on Sunday, Aug. 25. “I said, ‘I’ll take care of it; I’m a
civil rights attorney,’” he said in a telephone interview. Address sent Genelle Yost, who
was interim superintendent, a let-ter asking for a calendar change. Despite the late-coming addition of his efforts, children will still head to class on Thursday, Sept. 5, and be off on Friday, Sept. 13. That’s as of press time, Tuesday, Aug. 27. The earlier day is on the Jewish
holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Yom Kippur starts on Friday. But,
there’s a wrinkle in the table-cloth. Jewish days start at sun-down, thus the Day of Atonement will begin at about 7:30 p.m. this year. In other words, long after children are out of school. “The whole reason Friday the
13th is off is because of the hol-iday, but it makes no sense,” Address said. Address said there’s a long-
standing understanding at the schools that if Yom Kippur is on a weekday, children will be out of school that day. If it falls on a weekend, then the children get Rosh Hashanah off. Calendars often show Jewish holidays on the days that they begin in the evenings. Address believes that district staff acted in good faith believing that Friday was the right day to close schools this year. But it wasn’t. He believes that
the district should switch the off days to honor the longstanding practice of giving children Rosh Hashanah off if Yom Kippur is on a weekend.“I don’t think there was an
intentional effort in the begin-ning to do anything improper,” he said. “I think someone made a mistake. But, now, they don’t want to own up to it.” In response to his letter, Yost
said switching the students’ days off would be problematic. “Keeping that in mind and
acknowledging your concerns, it would be extremely disruptive to our kids, staff and parents to change the school calendar at this late date,” she wrote. In the phone interview, Address
said he understands that the change would be difficult. How-ever, he said it’s not impossible. More importantly, Address said that he’d accept a denial of his request if it came with some ap-pearance of concern. “I got a form letter back,” Ad-
dress said. “That’s what I got.” Address said he’ll ask the school
board to adopt a policy that better outlines when school will close for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. “We had the same problem last
year,” Address said.
He noted that Martin and other counties seem to do a better job with the Jewish holidays. This year, the Martin County Schools are closed on Thursday, Sept. 5, Rosh Hashanah. Jewish students in St. Lucie can
get an excused absence on that day. The 2013-2014 school calen-dar was adopted earlier this year. Yost didn’t respond to a request for interview by press time. Rosh Hashanah is the beginning
of the Jewish year.

residents have been picketing in recent weeks, writing letters to the Port St. Lucie City Council and making calls to local politicians pleading for help. The meeting was open only to
residents who staunchly oppose the project. Attendees said their District 2 Councilwoman Mi-chelle Berger hasn’t been doing enough to back her constituents. They were surprised when Berger caught wind of the meeting and showed up.“Legally, there is very little I can
say without derailing this whole process,” Berger told the crowd.Berger did however divulge she’s
concerned about how vast the project is, likening it to a “Holiday Inn in your backyard.”“For me, it’s about density. It
may be for you about safety and it may be for you about the clients that are in there,” Berger said. “That’s not my issue.”The founder of New Life Addic-
tion Treatment Center, which is located in Port St. Lucie, wants to build a facility with two buildings on a 3.93-acre property he owns on the northeast corner of North-west East Torino Parkway and Zenith Drive. The complex will include a 30-
bed detox and a rehabilitation center. The site plan is set for review by the city’s planning and
zoning board on Sept. 3. The board will decide whether it will grant a special exemption to the property’s institutional zoning designation to allow the detox center. The project will then go before the city council at its Sept. 23 meeting. The first phase would be a
9,900-square-foot, one-story building with 30 beds, where patients would stay five to seven days to detox from drugs, plan-ners representing New Life Center said. The second phase was to be a 20,500-square-foot, two-story structure where 80 patients would go once they complete detoxifi-cation. That part of the plan was changed in recent weeks to ap-pease residents, project represen-tatives said. It is now planned to be a single-story 14,000 square feet, 40-bed facility. Group or sober homes do not need approv-al from the planning and zoning board. But, detox and convales-cent homes, which administer medication, do.Residents fear home values will
plummet, crime will rise and the neighborhood’s family atmosphere will be compromised. A school bus stop is located near the property. Residents are fearful area children who walk to nearby West Gate K-8 and Renaissance Charter School will be in danger.“Once someone loses their child,
their grandchild, you can never get them back,” resident Joe Malik
said.The catch is recovering drug and
alcohol addicts are considered dis-abled under the Americans with Disabilities Act and are protected under the Fair Housing Act. That means there is little a local gov-ernment can do to stop a sober or group home from opening in a residential area. The detox ele-ment must still be reviewed by the planning and zoning board and the city council.Project planners said potential
patients will undergo a back-
ground check and only individuals who want treatment will be admit-ted. No court-ordered patients will be accepted and security cameras will be on at all times, representa-tives said.Residents aren’t buying it.“Go drive up to one of these
detox centers and just park in the parking lot and see what goes on. You’re going to be shocked,” said Capt. Stan Jarusinski. “There’s no supervision. They come and go as they please, however they want. If you live nearby, God bless us.”

to start funding the projects. The (Army) Corps can’t make it happen if the federal government doesn’t start putting the money into the Corps.”During his brief visit, Scott did
not go outside and meet with hundreds of constituents, who held signs and banners calling for a water diversion south. Scott also dodged questions about buy-ing Big Sugar land in order to re-store the natural flow of lake wa-ter down through the Everglades, but he did make a promise.“Today we’re announcing that
all of us are committed (to ear-marking) $40 million in the next budget to be able to get the C-44 treatment area done within the next 18 months,” said Scott, who’s been in office for two years.The South Florida Water Man-
agement District has been trying to secure private and state land to store water, Scott also said. Scott added he understands the
massive discharges into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers have created a negative impact on business and home sales on both of the state’s coasts. A vital component in stopping such large water dumps is fixing the Herbert Hoover Dike, an undertaking that will require lots of federal fund-ing, Scott said.
Scott toured the area with Flor-ida Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart. Negron said he’s interested in finding a short term solution to salvage the lagoon and its estu-aries. “There’s no reason why Fort
Myers and the Treasure Coast should be the septic system for water problems of the state of Florida,” said Negron, who’s call-ing for a 50 percent reduction in the freshwater discharges.Florida Rep. Gayle Harrell,
R-Stuart, echoed the governor’s sentiments, saying the U.S. Con-gress needs to “put the money where their mouth is.”“We also need to press the fed-
eral government and the Obama administration to step up to the plate,” Harrell said. “The Army Corps of Engineers has a lot of responsibility and the federal government and President Obama needs to come on board.”Local officials said Scott’s $40
million pledge is a good start, but much more needs to be done.“He needs to find by any means
necessary to help us to make sure that legislation needs to be done, if money needs to come out of Tallahassee, that the St. Lucie River stays and becomes clean,” Stuart Mayor Eula Clarke said.The city is also looking at ways
to promote clean water.“We are trying to take people off
of septic tanks, little by little,” Clarke said. The city has stormwater treat-
ment areas to make sure rain run-off is clean before it’s dis-charged and may also look into tightening fertilizer ordinances, Clarke said.Port St. Lucie City Council-
woman Michelle Berger said the governor’s commitment is a good launchpad for progress.“I love the beginning stage of the
commitment, but from my per-spective, it’s not enough,” Berger said.“… Certainly to the layman,
$40 million may sound like a lot of money, but to other elected officials … we understand $40 million doesn’t go a long way.”Berger, who said the city has
invested roughly $40 million into its Eastern Watershed Project which holds and purifies wa-ter, said the lagoon can’t handle freshwater discharges, dirty or clean.“It’s two-folds. It’s cleaning
the water and it’s reducing the releases of water. It’s not rocket science. Fresh water being intro-duced into our estuary equals bad.”St. Lucie County Commissioner
Chris Dzadovsky said the county is looking into creating a storm water treatment area near Heath-
cote Gardens in Fort Pierce. The area is an abandoned sand mine, which is 60 feet deep and sits above the Indian River Lagoon. Water would flow from Virginia Avenue just past the Healthcote Botanical Gardens.Strategically placed plants will
absorb the nitrogen and phos-phorous-laden water to purify it. Once treated, the water will be sent to the Savannas Preserve State Park, Dzadovsky said.“Remove the nutrients, that’s a
key,” he said.Of Scott’s pledge, Dzadovsky
said, “I think it’s a good gesture in the right direction, but what I truly believe is, that it’s a 40-year plan with $40 million a year; $1.6 billion is probably the accurate number it will take.”Bill Paterson, chairman of the
Republican Party of St. Lucie County, said a middle ground must be met soon. It’s going to take discussions among environ-mentalists and engineers, not just politicians, Paterson said. “I think that smart people need
to sit in a room and figure out a solution that is workable and I’m sure it won’t be palatable to everyone, but it has to be in the best interest of the state and fu-ture of our state,” said Paterson, who praised Scott for visiting the area.
Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerProtestors voicing their concerns of water being released from Lake Okeechobee into the Indian River Lagoon make an attempt to be heard by Gov. Rick Scott at Phipps Park in Stuart Tuesday, Aug. 20. The governor visited the lock in Stuart to unveil a prelimi-nary plan for cleaning the waterways.
“We have a crisis in our community. We have an environmental emergency. What I want to focus my
attention on is between now and the end of the year what things we can do short-term to lower the amount of water pouring into our community.”

ST. LUCIE WEST — The St. Lucie West Centennial Eagles fought off a late Martin County rally to defeat the Tigers 21-20 and capture the Kickoff Classic. For football fans across the state,
late August doesn’t feel like sum-mer’s final stretch, but more like Christmas time with the preseason Kickoff Classics serving as nicely wrapped gifts underneath the tree.For the players and coaches, it’s
the first time that they’ve been able to step on the field in competitive action since their spring games in May. The fans of St. Lucie West Centennial and Martin County High schools at Bob Collins Sta-dium Friday night were treated to a trilling opening act of the 2013 season. Elijah Richardson rumbled into
the end zone from eight yards out with 2:09 remaining in the game to give Centennial a 21-14 lead. The game-deciding score would be Richardson’s second rushing touchdown of the day. Richardson would end with 152 yards on 22 carries.Martin County freshman quar-
terback Austin Kuyrkendall drove the Tigers 53 yards in the final two minutes of play and complet-ed a 23 yard touchdown pass to
Nate Simmons to pull the Tigers within one point. As opposed to kicking the game-tying extra point, the Tigers two-point conversation failed with the Kuyrkendall-Sim-mons combination connected out of bounds. “We fought our tails off,” Centen-
nial head coach Ron Parker said. “We made some mistakes tonight, but Martin County has a great team, and I’m just happy we pulled through.” The Eagles left the field with a vic-
tory, but understanding that there is work left to be done. Centennial built a 14-0 lead thanks to their offensive line creating large holes for Richardson and quarterback Javid Ellis to run through while the defense cause three turnovers. However, the Eagles hampered
themselves with 13 penalties and two lost fumbles, the second of which resulted in Martin County starting the ensuring drive from the Eagle two-yard line and tying the game at 14. “There were some mistakes, but
we can fix that,” Parker said. “The biggest thing is they have to learn from it and try to get better every game. I’ll take the penalties as long as they learn about the little things.” Centennial will begin the regular
season Friday at South County Regional Stadium hosting Kathleen High School.

for inlet dredging, for Everglades restoration,” Murphy said. “And it was because of our efforts to reach out to the Obama Admin-istration. I’m going to continue to do that.”The congressman said he will
continue to communicate with the president.“I have a direct line of commu-
nication with his administration to urge them to fund these proj-ects,” Murphy said. “Part of it is the administration, part of it is the Congress.”Murphy, who said the lagoon is
his office’s top priority, said there is not one individual fix and will
take local, state and federal coop-eration.“I do not believe there is one sin-
gle thing that is going to solve it,” he said. “It’s going to be a compi-lation of solutions.”“… What I’m trying to do is get
all of the parties together because I’m sick of listening to this blame game.”It’s going to take a lot of funding,
too, Murphy said.“When we talk about spending
money, I think a lot of people in this environment don’t want to spend a dollar, but there’s smart spending and there’s waste-ful spending,” Murphy told the panel, who included panel chair Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, Sen. Charles Dean, Sr., R-Inverness, Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee and six other Florida senators.“Spending on our infrastructure,
spending on repairing the dike, spending on C-44; these projects are smart spending,” said Mur-phy, who held a bottle of dirty water from the lagoon. Murphy promised to bring the brown liquid to the house floor. He also offered water farming as a short-term solution during his time before the panel.A bone of contention was the
massive discharges from Lake Okeechobee the Army Corps of Engineers is allowed to make be-cause of their exemption from the Clean Water Act of 1972.During the panel, Negron posed
a poignant question to Murphy.“A federal bureaucracy should
not have the exclusive jurisdic-tion to decide what water pours into our community at any given moment in time,” Negron said. “Are you open to Congress revis-iting the Army Corps’ exclusive jurisdiction for these releases and
how do we make a collaborative decision between Florida’s best scientists and engineers and the Army Corps having a role, but not being the sole decision-makers?”Murphy said he believes the

Dengue fever confirmed on the Treasure Coast
TREASURE COAST — After seven confirmed cases of a rare mosqui-to-borne illness in Martin County, officials are cautioning residents, including the area’s neighbors to the north, to remain on high alert.The Florida Department of Health
in Martin County has issued a health alert for dengue fever follow-ing confirmation of several cases contracted in the Rio neighborhood of Jensen Beach.Each individual is expected to
make a full recovery, officials said.“Though some people may ex-
perience little to no symptoms, the most common symptoms of dengue include high fever, severe headache, joint and bone pain and rash,” Karlette Peck, health offi-cer for the Martin County Health Department, said in a press re-lease. “People who have symptoms of dengue should contact their healthcare provider immediately.”Dengue Fever is a disease trans-
mitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito, not person to person. In the Western Hemi-sphere, the Aedes aegypti mos-quito is the main transmitter of dengue viruses. In some cases, the Aedes albopictus mosquito has also transmitted the disease. Both of these tropical mosquitoes are found in large numbers in Martin and St. Lucie counties.Locally acquired dengue is rare in
the U.S. Prior to the four, the last case was contracted by a resident of Port Salerno in August 2011.

District and the Army Corps have an open line of communi-cation and generally work well together. He did, however, sug-gest regulations that date back decades must be reviewed as time progresses.“If there are specifics to make
sure they are working together, I’d love to visit that,” Murphy said.
State stanceFlorida Rep. Larry Lee Jr.,
D-Port St. Lucie, said the condi-tion of the lagoon has worsened to a state that requires action now.“I’m going to be asking (Gov.
Rick Scott) to declare our area a state of emergency.”A solution is complicated, but
may be achieved quicker in the case of an emergency declara-tion.“It’s not just one issue. It’s the
releases from Lake Okeechobee, the ground water and storm-water runoff, the fertilizers, the septic tanks,” Lee said.Lee urged other states to take
heed of the Treasure Coast’s plight.“If other states on a national
level don’t start paying attention to what’s happening to our river, our lagoon, it can travel right up,” Lee said.
Local viewpoint“This is not a simple fix that the
federal government will han-dle,” District 1 St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky said. “The federal government is responsible for flooding only. Water quality is the responsibili-ty of the state, wholly.”Dzadovsky said the county is
ready to step up to the plate to do its part.“Local governments have the
responsibility of managing their own stormwater treatment areas,” he said. “It has to be a comprehensive fixture across the board.”Dzadovsky presented the panel
with a list of 12 different short-
term solutions. One was using a contaminant “boom,” which is a temporary floating barrier used to contain an oil spill. That method would require state au-thorization, he said.Dzadovsky also suggested
pumping saltwater into the lagoon at Mud Creek to balance the salinity. “(It will) add oxygen content so
we have the opportunity of sav-ing what’s left.”Dzadovsky, who is also push-
ing for stricter septic tank reg-ulations, said something needs to be done about the Ten Mile Creek reservoir, located within the county’s boundary, just west of Fort Pierce. The $33 million project fea-
tures include an above-ground reservoir of approximately 526 acres surrounded by a 12- to 15-foot tall embankment. The reservoir was designed to store up to 6,000 acre feet of water at an average depth of 10 feet. The project also includes a 132-acre stormwater treatment area with pumps for water treatment and release, according to information on the Army Corps of Engineers website.It was designed to capture and
hold water for gradual release, to mimic a more natural storm-water flow. It was to provide seasonal and temporary storage of peak stormwater flows from the Ten Mile Creek basin and to slowly release those flows back into the creek to moderate the salinity levels and reduce sedi-ment loads in the downstream St. Lucie River and estuary.Dzadovsky wants the South
Florida Water Management Dis-trict to take control of the proj-ect, but that will require cutting through some thick red tape.Near the end of the construc-
tion, the concrete in the liner was found to be deficient for the original purpose, so the District left the project in the hands of the Army Corps. The reservoir will require millions in funding to fix and has sat defunct and in a “passive operating state” since 2009.

Until Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, laborers who chose to participate
in parades had to forfeit a day’s wages. Labor Day, an annual celebration of workers and
their achievements, originated during one of American labor history’s most dismal chapters. In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the average American worked 12-hour days and seven-day weeks in order to eke out a basic living. Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks. As manufacturing increasingly supplanted agriculture as the wellspring of American employment, labor unions, which had first appeared in the late 18th century, grew more prominent and vocal. They began organizing strikes and rallies to protest poor conditions
and compel employers to renegotiate hours and pay. Many of these events turned violent during this period, including the infamous Haymarket Riot of 1886, in which several Chicago policemen and workers were killed. Others gave rise to longstanding traditions: On September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to march from City Hall to Union Square in New York City, holding the first Labor Day parade in U.S. history. The idea of a “workingmen’s holiday,” celebrated on the first Monday in September, caught on in other industrial centers across the country, and many states passed legislation recognizing it. Congress would not legalize the holiday until 12 years later, when a watershed moment in American labor history brought workers’ rights squarely into the public’s view. On May 11, 1894, employees of the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago went on strike to protest wage cuts and the firing of union representatives. On June 26, the American Railroad Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, called for a boycott of all Pullman railway
cars, crippling railroad traffic nationwide. To break the strike, the federal government dispatched troops to Chicago, unleashing a wave of riots that resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen workers. In the wake of this massive unrest and in an attempt to repair ties with American workers, Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. More than a century later, the true founder of Labor Day has yet to be identified. Many credit Peter J. McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, while others have suggested that Matthew Maguire, a secretary of the Central Labor Union, first proposed the holiday. Labor Day is still celebrated in cities and towns across the United States with parades, picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays and other public gatherings. For many Americans, particularly children and young adults, it represents the end of the summer and the start of the back-to-school season.
Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also
symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and athletic events.

Schools suspend search for superintendent
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Heeding the advice of its national search consultant, the St. Lucie County School Board voted to suspend its search for a new superinten-dent at a special meeting last week.The board is expected to pro-
mote its interim superintendent Genelle Yost to the post until her retirement in June 2015.“I made the recommendation
because I felt all along that
Genelle has the great leadership skills to be a great superinten-dent,” search consultant Jim Huge said.“My belief was rather than hire
somebody else now and have a transition and really go through two transitions, (hire Yost) be-cause she’s already made the transition into the superinten-dency now.”Huge will formally recommend
the promotion at the board’s next meeting on Aug. 27, after Your Voice News & Views press time.

Photo courtesy of the Florida National Guard, Thomas Kielbasa 1st Lt. Danial Harris is back home with his family. The Florida National Guard’s 806th Military Police Company returned home on Friday, Aug. 23. The company was on de-ployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom since November. The company is stationed in Fort Pierce.
The 806th returns
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Treasure Coast has been miss-ing about a hundred faces since November. They’re home now with big smiles. On Friday, Aug. 23, the Florida National Guard’s 806th Military Police Company returned home from a deployment to Af-ghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The company is stationed in Fort Pierce. It was the company’s second
deployment to Afghanistan. It was also deployed in 2004 to 2005. Staff Sgt. Andres Moreira Jr. was in both deployments. He said deploying is something a soldier never starts liking. “One really never looks forward
to going back,” he said. “For the most part, it was nerve-racking. You can do all the training in the world, but when you’re expecting the unexpected that’s very scary. Not knowing if you’ll come home the same way, in one piece, that’s very scary.”Moreira is back home just in time
for his daughter, Autumn, to start high school. “Scaring off guys is what I’ll be
doing,” he said. His son Alex is starting his last
year of elementary school. The 33-year-old joined the guard back in 1998, shortly after high school.
“I was in (Army Junior ROTC) in high school,” Moreira said. “Go-ing through ROTC in high school, you tend to have a respect for the military.” Staff Sgt. Jose Angulo also lives
in Port St. Lucie. He’s been in the National Guard for 12 years. This was his second deployment to Afghanistan, too. There were big differences between the two de-ployments for him. Back in 2004, he had a friend named Amy. “When I came home, we started
dating,” Angulo said. When he got his boots back on
Florida this time, Angulo’s wife was waiting for him. “It was a big change for her,”
he said. “Last time, we were just friends. This time she had to go through it in the front seat.” That made things different for
him, too. “Last time, my parents took care
of everything,” Angulo said. “This time, I had to get involved and worry about my wife, worry about my house.” The 806 was overseeing detain-
ees this time around. Last deploy-ment, it provided force protection. “First deployment, we were
protection for a civil affairs unit,” Moreira said.That took the company to Afghan
villages last deployment. This time around, they didn’t have much in-

teraction with locals. The 806 was designated an internment resettle-ment company in 2009. Moreira said most on the last deployment weren’t around last time. The biggest difference between
the deployments for him? “Rank, age and responsibility,”
Moreira said. Angulo said he dreaded separa-
tion from Amy this deployment, but he was looking forward to putting his training to practice. “I was excited, because I’m in a
different part of my career and I’m leading troops,” he said. Both said that there are many
differences in Afghanistan since 2005. Some things, however, are the same. The weather, for in-stance. “It was cold when we got there,”
Angulo said. “It was snowing. Then it was bitter cold. Then it got hot. Really hot.” Operation Enduring Freedom –
Afghanistan is America’s longest military engagement, depending on how historical engagements are measured. Some military histori-ans hold that Vietnam was longer, noting the presence of U.S. mili-tary personnel in Vietnam going back to the 1950s. However, most count the Vietnam War from when Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution in 1964 to the with-drawal of ground troops in 1973.
OEF – Afghanistan started in October 2001, shortly after the massive terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 that year. The Florida Nation-al Guard reports that more than 17,000 members have deployed in support of federal mobilizations over the last 12 years. Moreira said Afghan society
seems weary of the war. “I think they’re ready to start
their own lives and move on,” he said. The United States has progres-
sively pulled back from combat operations and shifted to training Afghan forces. President Barack Obama has worked toward a 2014 exit of American forces from Afghanistan, but has left open the possibility of remaining longer. “Last time, we didn’t work with
the Afghan national army,” Angulo said. “This time we worked closely with them.” Moreira and Angulo offered
tips to the community about the returning guard members. Both said little displays of support and gratitude for their service mean a lot. Both also said that it’s helpful when friends, co-workers, neigh-bors and others are willing to lis-ten, but not pushy about talking to guard members about their deployments. “The one thing I can tell you not
to do is ask if we shot anybody,” Moreira said. “Believe it not, that question came up a lot after the last deployment.”

EXPANSION from page 19
The search will resume next fall, possibly in September, with candidate interviews beginning in October or November, Huge said. The goal is to have the new
superintendent report for duty in June 2015, Huge said.“It will be a much more relaxed
search,” Huge said.Huge added the stall will allow
for more applicants to throw their names in the hat.The unanimous choice to sus-
pend the search was an easy one, school board member Kath-ryn Hensley said.“We started the process with
this big picture, but as time went on, we found that we had someone inside that is probably better qualified than anyone else we’ve had come forward,” Hens-ley said. “So, the process worked because it led us to this path.”“She’s highly qualified, she’s
very engaged and she’s spent her entire professional career in St. Lucie County,” Hensley said. “The few weeks she’s been in the seat, she’s already proven what we knew.”Hensley’s fellow board member,
SCHOOL from page 15 Carol Hilson, echoed the same sentiment.“It’s nice to have somebody who
understands the culture of the community.”Yost said she never entertained
the thought of becoming super-intendent because of her looming retirement date in June 2015.“I will tell you that I’m pleased
to be given this opportunity and I just love St. Lucie County.”Yost has spent her entire educa-
tional career in St. Lucie County. It has spanned 39 years.Yost said she has big plans for
students this year.“For our students, we have a
theme that we’re following this year, ‘Cruising to Excellence,” and we are focusing on the data, data-driven instruction to drive student performance through quality instruction.”The search for a new super-
intendent began this summer after outgoing Superintendent Michael Lannon announced his retirement after 10 years at the district’s helm. The search was narrowed down from 21 to six candidates. After several with-drew for various reasons, the board could not make a decision and requested Huge broaden the search.

There have been no previous local-ly acquired cases of dengue in St. Lucie County, officials said.“In the U.S., there are usually
fewer than 10 cases every year and most are in Florida,” Bob Washam, director of Florida Department of Health in Martin County. It is estimated that there are over
100 million cases of dengue world-wide each year.St. Lucie County Mosquito Con-
trol and Coastal Management Services said they’ve already per-formed three “dengue sweeps” in Port St. Lucie. None of those areas were in St. Lucie West or Tradition.“We go door-to-door and what
we’re looking for is container breeders. We have a ‘tip and toss’ program, where if we find contain-ers that have standing water in them, we will tip them over and drain the water and toss them out,” said Sherry Burroughs, St. Lucie County mosquito control manager.Burroughs added mosquitos are
usually out in full force during the Florida wet season from May 20 to Oct. 20.
Mosquito protection tips from the Florida Department of Health: Drain standing water to stop mos-
quitoes from multiplyingDrain water from garbage cans,
house gutters, buckets, pool cov-ers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprin-kler or rain water has collected. Discard old tires, drums, bottles,
cans, pots and pans, broken appli-ances and other items that aren’t being used. Empty and clean birdbaths, pets
water bowls and even tropical bro-meliad plants at least once or twice a week. Protect boats and vehicles from
rain with tarps that don’t accumu-late water. Maintain swimming pools in good
condition and appropriately chlo-rinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use. Cover skin with clothing or repel-
lentWear shoes, socks, and long
pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present. Apply mosquito repellent to bare
skin and clothing. Always use re-pellents according to the label. Re-pellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535 are effective. Also use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old. Cover doors and windows with
screens to keep mosquitoes out of your houseRepair broken screening on win-
dows, doors, porches and patios.

ents the classic who-dunnit on Sept. 5-22. It tells the tale of 10 people who have had something to do with the deaths of others. Each committed a crime that escaped the notice of the author-ities or was morally responsible for deaths, though no crime was committed.The individuals are all invited,
under a variety of pretexts, to visit an island off the coast of England. One by one, they die. Who is killing them and how to stop him-or-her-is the focus of the play.Mercedes Finley is directing the
mystery.“The premise is that disparate
people are invited to a holiday house by Mr. Owen,” she said. “They face a far worse reception than they were expecting. Agatha Christie is very good at torment-ing her characters.”The members of the group go to
the island retreat after receiving invitations. Some think they are going for a job; others think it is a vacation.“It’s all set up by Mr. Owen, and
all have a reason for coming, but it’s not the reason they think,” Finley said.The play is based around a Brit-
ish children’s rhyme, titled “Ten
Little Soldier Boys,” in which, one by one, someone dies, leav-ing fewer with each round. In the book, everyone dies at the end, but the play has been altered to leave some characters alive and provide a happier ending. Finley, of course, is giving nothing away.The cast includes Audrey Sta-
bile as Vera Claythorne, a for-mer governess and secretary to the hostess, Mrs. Owen; Barry Wood as Philip Lombard, a man of mystery; John Houx as Law-rence Wargrave, a retired judge; Patrick Tilley as Anthony Mar-ston, a rich young man; Jerry Badiner as General MacKenzie; Chad Granese as Dr. Armstrong, a timid doctor; James Green as Mr. Rogers, the dignified butler; Brittney Altman as Mrs. Rogers, the frail wife of the butler; El-len Gillette as Emily Brent, an elderly, deeply religious woman; Tom Dolan as William Blore, a former police inspector; and Tony Ferrino as Narracott, the character who brings the guests to the house. While the story seems sinister,
it has a lot of comedy, as well“It’s fun,” Finley said. “It has
some dramatic parts, but it’s well-rounded. When I first read it, I loved it. Now that we’re get-

ting into it, I see the multifacets. “There isn’t a sleuth, per se. All
are trying to figure it out. We’ve just blocked Act 2, Scene 2, where it says, ‘The killer is one of us…which of us…’ It’s really exciting. I can’t wait to get the whole thing together and put it on.Finley is excited about her cast.
It includes one member who has never acted before, Patrick Tilley. He went to the auditions with his girlfriend and he got a part of Anthony Marston because he fit the bill and because men are always in short supply at casting calls.“He’s handsome and looks the
part,” Finley said. “He’s really gung-ho.”Other performers are veterans,
including John Houx, who has appeared frequently at the Vero Beach Theatre Guild.“It’s his first time at the Pineap-
ple, but he and I worked together at the Barn,” Finley said. “He’s an amazing character actor.” Finley also mentioned her
daughter, Savannah Richmond, who serves as stage manager. A theater professional, Finley said that she’s learning a lot from her daughter.This is the second time Finley’s
has directed an Agatha Christie murder mystery.“As a kid, I went though an
Agatha Christie phase,” she said. “She was a genius. Never, ever did I dream that I’d go on to di-rect such things.”
