Victory for Torino residents vs. detox center

TORINO — Residents who staunch-ly oppose a drug treatment center in their neighborhood won the initial battle against the facility’s developers on Sept. 3 when the city’s planning and zoning board opposed the detoxification portion of the project.After hearing more than 40 residents

passionately plead their case countering the facility, citing a potential for increased crime and decreased property values, the board voted 5-2 against granting a special exception recommending the detox cen-

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — County commissioners are in the final stages of finish-ing a draft requesting Gov. Rick Scott step in and save the Indian River Lagoon by declaring a state of emergen-cy in the area.“We need to send the gov-

ernor a message,” St. Lucie County Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky said.The draft requests the

governor consider issuing an executive order and other

powers available under law, to activate all available state and local emergency and re-lief resources to protect the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie Estuary.Although polluted discharg-

es from Lake Okeechobee have lessened in recent days because of dry weather, the billions of gallons already dumped into the water has practically killed the lagoon, the draft states.“Forty-seven thousand

acres of sea grass have been killed to date in the Indian River Lagoon since 2010,

Approximately 200 prescription and over-the-counter medications are known to be ototoxic — which, quite literally, means “poisonous to the ears.”

Mutter’s Hearing CenterYour Hearing is my concern.Be informed before taking medicationsDrugs considered ototoxic have the potential to damage the inner ear or cause vestibular dysfunction, which could result in:• Hearing loss • Tinnitus • Balance disordersWhile many of the ototoxic effects are temporary and go away once a medication is stopped, some can be long term or permanent.Even medications taken as a child could be the cause of hearing loss today.What medications are ototoxic?Time, probable connection and scientific studies are required to determine a drug’s ototoxic capabilities. There-fore, it’s difficult to make a precise list, especially with new medications. Many drugs have been tested, and the list of known ototoxic drugs includes:• Aspirin• Quinine• Loop diuretics (or “water pills”)• Certain antibiotics• Some anticancer drugs• Some anesthetics• Environmental chemicals like carbon monoxide, hexane and mercury

Symptoms of ototoxicityIf you’re taking a known or suspected ototoxic drug and begin to notice any of the following symptoms, consult with your healthcare profes-sional right away.• Mild tinnitus or ringing in the ears• Noticeable hearing loss, especiallyhigh-frequency hearing loss• Issues with balanceWhat can you do?Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” solution to preventing ototoxic-related hearing loss. However, depending oneach individual’s situation, certain recommen-dations can be followed:• Before treating serious illnesses ormedical conditions with ototoxic drugs, discuss the risks vs. benefits with your healthcare team• Follow medication instructions carefully• Avoid taking multiple ototoxic drugs simultane-ously (like aspirin and loop diuretics)• When around environmental chemicals, ensure proper ventilation and minimize usage/exposure

Get a hearing screeningMost importantly, before receiving treatment for any condition that involves known or suspected ototoxic drugs (both prescribed or over-the-counter), you should get a hearing screening taken by a hearing professional.Listen for any changesA pre-treatment hearing screening will set a baseline for your hearing that can be used to measure against during the course of your treatment. Then, regular hearing tests throughout treatment can help detect any changes. These could be shared with your healthcare professional.

I’m so very happy, I just cannot be-lieve 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.

Entomologist seeks safe ways to get the bugs out

ST. LUCIE WEST — Ronald Cave went into college knowing that he wanted to study insects.“I was unusual,” he said. “I went

into college as an entomology major. I got into it in 4-H at (age) 11. I had parental support and a summer job at an entomology lab.”Cave received a bachelor of

science in entomology from the University of California-Davis, a master’s degree from the Univer-sity of California-Berkeley, and a doctoral degree from Auburn University. Now at the University of Florida,

he has served for 11 years as one of two research professors for the university’s Norman C. Hayslip Biological Control Research and Containment Laboratory in Fort Pierce. There, scientists do lead-ing-edge research in the use of bi-ological control agents, or insects, for effective and sustainable pest control.Cave was recently promoted to

full professor. He spoke about the challenges of controlling pests while minimizing the use of pes-ticides.

The researcher said that the idea of using insects to control other insects is not a new one. In the third century, the Chinese sold ants nests to citrus growers. “It’s the idea of using natural

enemies, good bugs, to fight bad bugs,” he said. “In 1888, in

Australia, the citrus industry was saved by bringing in the parasitic fly and predatory lady beetle.”In time, pesticides became a

widely-used method of pest con-trol. “At that time, there was no

broad knowledge of the conse-

quences,” Cave said. “Some were aware and not listened to. Rachel Carson’s book, ‘Silent Spring,’ awoke the public and the gov-ernment. Pesticides can be very useful but they can’t be the sole

Bonefish Mac’s video aids police in identifying burglary suspect

On Thursday, Aug. 29, Port St. Police along with Stuart Police and the Martin County Sheriff’s Office arrested Justin M. Carreiro (DOB 1-28-74, 214 S.W. Milburn Circle, Port St. Lucie) for bur-glary, criminal mischief, resisting officers and outstanding warrants for grand theft and fraud. Carreiro’s crime spree began on

Aug. 3, while he was working as a waiter at Bonefish Mac’s Restau-rant, 662 S.E. Becker Road, Port St. Lucie. Between Aug. 3 and Aug. 11, Carreiro, while working as a waiter, would add an extra “0” to the tips he was receiving from customers. Carreiro was fired after the management from the restaurant discovered what he was doing. Management for the restaurant tried to work with Carreiro and arranged for him to pay back what he stole from the customers. After Carreiro failed to follow through with payment,

Police Detec-tives secured warrants for his arrest on the charges of grand theft and fraud. Carreiro

eluded police until Aug. 28, when he contact-ed Bonefish Mac’s wanting his final check in the amount of $2.93. Carreiro sent his girl-friend to pick up the check that evening. Coincidently, Bonefish Mac’s restaurant was broken in to during the early morning hours of Aug. 29. The suspect entered the building through the roof then broke into the office of the restaurant and tried to crack open the safe. Attempts to break into the safe failed and the

TownPark residents to vote on mosquito spraying

TRADITION — Residents of TownPark at Tradition who petitioned the county to spray the community to rid it of pesky mosquitos will soon get to vote on the issue.On Oct. 9, the St. Lucie County

Supervisor of Elections will mail ballots to the community’s 526 registered voters, supervisor Ger-trude Walker said. The referendum’s ballot will

ask residents if they’d like to be included in the county’s Mosqui-to Control and Coastal Manage-ment Services district. A majority vote — or 50 percent of the vote plus one — will rule.Ballots must be returned by

Oct. 29 at 7 p.m., the actual day of the election. Votes will be counted that night.Voters can mail the ballot back

or return it to the Fort Pierce

office in person, Walker said.Walker is urging residents to

update their information with her office before she mails the ballots.“The ballot will not be forward-

ed if they’re away on vacation,” Walker said. “The post office can-not forward an actual ballot.”Out of town registered voters

can vote from their current loca-tion if they update their informa-tion. Residents have until Sept. 30 to register to vote, Walker said.To participate in the weekly

spraying, it will cost residents approximately 40 cents per $1,000 of their property value next year, Mosquito Control di-rector Jim David said.The county recently received a

petition from TownPark residents asking to join the district. It had more than 200 signatures, David said. The St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners ap-

ter. Board members Ken Martin and Christine Skurka had the minority vote.Not a single resident spoke in

favor of the project during the meeting, which lasted more than four hours at City Hall.“The Torino area is a fami-

ly-friendly residential area and it should stay that way,” Enrique Crespo said. “There are many, many other areas that have plen-ty of available lots and space to accommodate this type of facility in size and scope.”Crespo, along with dozens of his

neighbors, fear addicts will leave the facility early and commit crimes in the area.“I respect and applaud their

choosing a path to sobriety, but am concerned that sadly, many will not be reaching their goals and they will be getting out into our neighborhoods,” Crespo told the board.During the meeting, Port St.

Lucie Police Chief John Bolduc said crime surrounding two other detox facilities near homes have not been a problem. He did say, however, that officers have re-sponded to calls from the facil-ities for medical emergencies in the centers.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. New Life currently has six sober homes in the city. The proposed complex is to

include a 30-bed detox and a rehabilitation center. 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, planners 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 detoxification. 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.“Port St. Lucie deserves a state-

of-the-art facility. It deserves a fa-cility we can all be proud of,” the center’s planner Brad Currie said to loud scoffs from the audience and a bang of the gavel from the board’s vice chair.An issue residents highlighted

was the validity of the property deed. A special warranty deed in 1987 states “the premises shall be used for the sole purpose of church use.” The stipulation was to remain in place for 20 years. An Evangelical Lutheran church owned the land at the time. In 1994, the deed was transferred to different owners and included the same language. The city’s assis-tant attorney Pam Booker said the inclusion of the 20-year re-striction in the 1994 deed was to notify the purchaser that the re-striction was in place from 1987. Residents say the restriction was reinstated for another 20 years from 1994 to 2014. Residents are responsible for consulting an at-torney to “determine whether the

suspect left the restaurant. The would be thief was familiar with the restaurant’s lay out, because surveillance video showed the suspect covering the cameras with a shirt, towel and even open-ing up an umbrella to block the view of the camera. Through the use of the surveillance from the business, management and Port St. Lucie Police Detectives identi-fied Carreiro as the burglar. Detectives tracked Carreiro

to the Clarion Hotel located in Stuart. Port St. Lucie Detectives

along with Stuart Police went to the hotel to arrest Carreiro. Car-reiro spotted the police and fled into the woods next to the ho-tel. Martin County Sheriff’s K-9 and helicopter also converged on the area. Due to the combined efforts of local law enforcement, Carreiro was flushed out of the woods into the arms of police. Carreiro was taken to the

Martin County Jail where he re-mains on the charges of burglary, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest. Carreiro still faces charges from Port St. Lucie on the war-rants for fraud and grand theft.

deed restriction is still in place,” because the city doesn’t partic-ipate in deed disputes, Booker said.Martin called every testimony

discriminatory because recover-ing drug and alcohol addicts are considered disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act and are protected under the Fair Housing Act. That means there is little a local government can do to stop a sober or group home from opening in a residential area. It also gives municipalities little re-course to deny a detox treatment center on an institutionally zoned lot without being sued.Outraged residents shouted

during the meeting, some march-ing out after Martin’s declaration.“You sit there all smug, you

jerk,” one attendee yelled.Later, the audience rejoiced after

the decision. Residents will see if they win the war when the Port St. Lucie City Council has the final say on Sept. 23.“I was very proud that they

decided this was not right for our area,” resident Diane Goldberg said. “We still have the city coun-cil who will still have to vote even though the planning and zoning board does not make a recom-mendation for it. We hope that they will do the right thing also.”

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographerBrad Currie, planner for New Life Center lobbied for approval of the Port St. Lucie Planning and Zoning Board during a hearing Tuesday, Sept. 3 at the Port St. Lucie City Council chambers. The Port St. Lucie City Council has the final say on Sept. 23.

“The Torino area is a family-friendly residential area and it should stay that way. There are many, many other areas

that have plenty of available lots and space to accommodate this type of facility in size and scope.”

TREASURE COAST — As the number of confirmed Dengue Fe-ver cases on the Treasure Coast continues to swell, the Florida Department of Health in both Martin and St. Lucie counties are continuing to ask residents to remain diligent in mosquito protection efforts.In the past two weeks, eight

additional cases of the mosqui-to-borne illness were confirmed in the Rio area of Jensen Beach, bringing the total to 15. Of the cases, nine are Martin County residents, two are out-of-state visitors and four are St. Lucie residents, health department officials said.Jensen Beach resident and

Indian Riverkeeper, Marty Baum, encourages his neighbors to take official alerts seriously by tipping and tossing standing water in yards where mosquitos breed and

always using a repellant during outings, day or night.Before contracting the excruci-

ating virus, often referred to as “break-bone fever” because of the intense joint pain it causes, Baum paid mosquitos little mind, saying the insects came along with the Florida way of life. Baum, who believes he was

bitten by an infected mosqui-to in his significant other’s Rio back yard three weeks ago, said thanks to the high fever the ill-ness brought, he remembers little from the experience, except for the pain.“I had a 102-degree fever,” said

Baum, whose girlfriend also fell ill. The fever lasted for eight days, Baum added. “I was almost con-vulsing with shivers.”Baum said it all started with

a headache. Symptoms usually appear three to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito and include sudden onset of fever, se-vere headache, eye pain, muscle and joint pain and bleeding, ac-

cording to the Flori-da Depart-ment of Health. Once

the de-bilitating pain set in a few days lat-er, Baum contacted the Martin County Health De-partment, was seen by a doctor and was diagnosed. In all, Baum said he was bedridden for three weeks. “Nothing was comfortable,”

Baum said. “Every joint hurt.”“… It totally, totally wiped me

out,” said Baum, who works as an Indian River advocate. “I’m really glad it’s over.”Quick recognition and manage-

ment of symptoms is effective at ensuring the condition doesn’t worsen. There is no treatment for

proved sending the issue to an election at a late August meeting. TownPark has 383 homes, David said.When the district was

established in 1927, it pri-marily encompassed Fort Pierce, David said. Since then, its boundaries have expanded to include areas in Port St. Lucie, St. Luc-ie West and Tradition by request. Townpark is the latest to make a request, David said.“The boundaries are never

changed unless residents request to enter the dis-trict,” David said.Since her property isn’t

waterfront, TownPark resi-dent Sue Rudolph said the pests haven’t been that big of a problem. But she and her husband will still vote to join the district out of concerns for their commu-nity, Rudolph said.“We’re going to vote for

it because they carry dis-eases,” Rudolph said. “We heard from the people in the front by the swampy area that the kids can’t even go out there. I fear for the children.”

LAGOON from page 1

“Forty-seven thousand acres of sea grass have been killed to date in the Indian River Lagoon since 2010, which far exceeds any documented or remembered events in terms of geographic scale, bloom intensity and duration. It is alarming because sea grass is an indicator of the lagoon’s health, a food source for

manatees and a nursery, refuge and a place of forage for a variety of fish and other marine life.”

John Haddox Martin County Commissioner

which far exceeds any docu-mented or remembered events in terms of geographic scale, bloom intensity and duration,” the draft says. “It is alarming because sea grass is an indi-cator of the lagoon’s health, a food source for manatees and a nursery, refuge and a place of forage for a variety of fish and other marine life.”Another concern, the draft

notes, is how hazardous the wa-ter has become to humans.“This runoff is causing a pub-

lic health threat as microcystis aeruginosa, a single-celled blue green alga, or cyanobacterium, has proliferated in the lagoon to form dense blooms, which pro-duce multiple toxins, including liver toxins, as well as neurotox-ins,” the draft states.What would a state-issued

state of emergency mean for the area? Patrick Gillespie, press secretary for the Florida Depart-ment of Environmental Protec-tion explained in an emailed statement last week action could be swift.“If a state of emergency is de-

clared, the public is alerted or warned of an imminent or actual threat,” Gillespie wrote. “Exec-utive orders can suspend rules and statutes for permitting, though the department quickly issued a permit within its rules last week to cut a gap in (the) Tamiami Trail near Broward and Miami-Dade counties to improve water flow. Work on that started this week by the South Florida Water Management District.”Dzadvosky said he expects

the draft’s final version will be approved by the commission sometime this month. A copy of

the draft was sent to the Martin County Board of County Com-missioners with the hope they will be on board and also ap-prove the draft.Commissioner John Haddox,

who represents Palm City, said he has already read through it, saying it was “well prepared.”If another commissioner

doesn’t request the item to be heard, Haddox said he will.“It will send a strong message

to the federal government of the severity of the discharges and condition of the lagoon,” Haddox said.The lagoon, which generates

an estimated $3.7 billion a year for the Treasure Coast, supports 15,000 full- and part-time jobs and provides recreational oppor-tunities for 11 million people per year. It’s also the most bio-di-verse waterway in all of North America, boasting more than 4,000 plant and animal spe-cies, including manatees, oys-ters, dolphins, sea turtles and seahorses.Indian Riverkeeper Marty Baum

said a state of emergency should have been declared months ago.“These discharges have ab-

solutely wrecked the biodiver-sity in our end,” Baum said. “The biodiversity in all of North America is now moot. It doesn’t exist.”Jim David, director of St. Lucie

County’s Mosquito Control and Coastal Management Services Department said it’s dire the governor issue a state of emer-gency declaration.“If this were a billion dollar oil

spill, the Coast Guard would have been here the next day,” said David, who has proposed cleaning the lagoon using booms, which are used to clean oil spills.

method of pest control.”Cave served in the Peace Corps

in Paraguay and El Salvador and taught for 15 years at the Escuela Agricola Panamerican, Zanorano, in Honduras. Central and South America present special problems in pest control.“A lot of the times, we don’t

know the pest causing the prob-lem,” he said. “There are so many more species in the tropics and they’re not nearly as well known. It’s fairly easy to get identification in the United States, but when things attack a crop in Central America, getting it identified can be a challenge. “It may be new and you don’t

know its natural enemies. Here, we know the natural enemies. In the Tropics, you don’t know what a bad bug is and what good bugs eat it. If we find an adult, where do the larvae live? It hasn’t been researched.”Cave’s area of interest has al-

ways been beetles and their iden-tification. Several species have been named for him.“There are many, many thou-

sands of beetles,” he said. “They’re what flipped my switch. It’s not difficult to find new spe-cies in the Tropics. They’re bound to name one after me now and then. “The great majority are not

known to science. In some 250 years of taxonomy, only 1 mil-lion species of insects have been named and described, while it is estimated that there are between 3 million and 50 million species in the world.” The researcher said that one

component of effective and sus-tainable pest control will involve cultural control. “That is the manipulation and

management of the environment to disfavor the pest and favor its natural enemies,” he said. “It is employing new agronomic meth-ods that are less favorable for the pest, such as eliminating some weeds or allowing some weeds to grow. It may be the way the crop is irrigated or the soil prepared.”Cave said that there is a great

deal of research going on in breeding varieties of crops that are resistant or tolerant of pests. It is not only university research-ers, but growers and governmen-tal agencies that are tackling the problem. Cave said that Florida is fertile

territory for an entomologist.“It’s a hotbed for invasive spe-

cies,” he said. “The subtropical climate means no hard freeze to kill things off. There is also a great diversity of vegetation, both native and non-native. Invasive insects find food and a hospitable environment. It’s a huge salad bar for them.”

Dengue Fever. Baum said he used ibuprofen and aspirin to manage his symptoms.Dengue Fever is a disease

transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mos-quito, not person to person. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aedes aegypti mosqui-to is the main transmitter of dengue viruses. In some cases, the Aedes albopictus mosquito has also trans-mitted 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 15, the last case was con-tracted by a resident of Port Salerno in August 2011. There have been no previ-ous locally acquired cases of dengue in St. Lucie County, officials said.Nearly all dengue cases

reported in the 48 conti-nental states were acquired elsewhere by travelers or immigrants, according to the Centers for Disease Con-trol website. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens oc-cur in those inhabitants of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam, which are endemic for the virus, the website states.Both Martin and St. Lucie

county mosquito control of-ficials have been going door-to-door to drain spots in backyards with standing wa-ter. Efforts in Martin County have been concentrated in the Rio area, officials said.In St. Lucie County, five

areas have been swept.“The way dengue is con-

trolled is by putting boots on the ground,” Mosquito Control director Jim David said. “It’s not controlled by spray.”The mosquitos contract the

illness from biting infected humans then breeding with each other, David said.

Tips on repellent use

Always read label directions carefully for the approved usage before you apply a re-pellent. Some repellents are not suitable for children.

Products with concentra-tions of up to 30 percent DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-tolu-amide) are generally rec-ommended. Other U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-approved repellents contain Picaridin, oil of lem-on eucalyptus or IR3535. These products are generally available at local pharma-cies. Look for active ingre-dients to be listed on the product label.

Apply insect repellent to ex-posed skin or onto clothing, but not under clothing.

In protecting children, read label instructions to be sure the repellent is age-appro-priate. According to the Centers for Disease Control, mosquito repellents con-taining oil of lemon eucalyp-tus should not be used on children under the age of 3. DEET is not recommended on children younger than 2 months old.

Avoid applying repellents to the hands of children. Adults should apply repel-lent first to their own hands and then transfer it to the child’s skin and clothing.

If additional protection is necessary, apply a perme-thrin repellent directly to your clothing. Again, always follow the manufacturer’s directions.

DENGUE from page 7

As the old proverb goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. If you want to know if the old proverb is true, come on down to the 5th Annual Another Man’s Treasure Sale at the A.E. Backus Museum. This summer sale shopping extravagan-za opens to the public on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. with a “Museum Members Preview Sale” on Friday, Sept. 13 from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. Donations of treasure have poured

into the Museum. “They don’t call it the Treasure

Coast for nothing,” quips museum executive director Kathleen Fredrick. Fredrick says that the sale features just about everything imaginable. “We have been very fortunate to

have several large estates donated to the museum’s sale this year” Fred-rick says. First-class furnishings, choice antiques, vintage jewelry, designer handbags, fine art, an-tique glassware and china, art glass, kitchen and household items, linens, craft supplies, almost new applianc-es, sporting goods (including a pad-dle boat) are just some of the items

to choose from. Since it is a one-day sale, items are priced to move and everything is reduced by 50 percent at 1 p.m. Those wishing to attend the pre-

view sale and get the pick of the loot may become a member by calling the museum or joining at the door on the evening of the preview sale. Memberships are available for as little as $50 and bring a wealth of benefits including invitations and free admission to the museum and to all the opening receptions.

Start Up Fee Waved With Mention Of This Ad


Local Hero: Joann Rodriguez Opens Ali’s Place

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — This month, Joan Rodriguez opens the only after school program for youth ages 13-22 with disabilities in St. Lucie West. Named appropriately after her

daughter, a young woman with Down syndrome, Ali’s Place is a program which will teach social-ization, life skills and self-suffi-ciency to those who attend. The goal: ready these youth for work in the community after high school graduation. Joann Rodriguez is a two-year

brain cancer survivor. Her in-spiration for this start-up is her daughter, Ali. Ali attends a local public high school in St. Lucie County where she is in the 11th grade. When Ali was born, a hos-pital employee asked Joann if she would like to give her daughter up for adoption. Shocked, Joann responded,

“No!” Her thoughts were, “She’s beautiful.”

Down syndrome occurs in one in every 691 babies in the United States, affecting all races. It is caused when a fetus has a “full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21,” which alters the baby’s de-velopment. In the U.S., there are more than 400,000 people with the Down syndrome.In the past, people with Down

syndrome lived shortened lives, usually until around age 25 (1983), but because of new medical technology and pharma-ceuticals, today, life expectancy for Down syndrome has risen to age 60. These citizens work, act, run businesses, vote, and are employees. Some even write news columns. Chris Burke played Corky

Thacher on ABC’s “Life Goes On.” Today he writes a monthly column and is a member of the National Down Syndrome Society acting as a Goodwill Ambassador.http://www.ndss.org/About-

NDSS/Our-Team/Ambassadors/

Goodwill-Ambassador/Straight-Talk-with-Chris-Burke/ Tim Harris is the owner of the

restaurant Tim’s Place. Tim has been featured on CBS and NBC. He is a Special Olympics athlete.http://www.youtube.com/

watch?v=y6He0FWoFj0 According to the National Down

Syndrome Society’s website, the keys are “quality educational programs, a stimulating home en-vironment, good health care and positive family and community support.” “Youth with disabilities can be

a valuable part of society,” says mother Joann Rodriguez. She speaks from first-hand experi-ence. Conney Dahn, Florida State

Teacher of the Year, who is an expert in teaching those with disabilities, says this: “I believe there’s a place for them.” (Prior to the recession, 90 percent of Dahn’s high school graduates found jobs through a Career Ex-

perience program, much like that of Ali’s Place.)http://kellyjadon.

com/blog/2013/7/15/iobuq5kq8652evvlgij0l5dbzu5kvu. Ali’s Place is working with local

businesses who have agreed to bring youth from her program into their work places as vol-unteers for training. One such business is the Vincent De Paul Thrift Shop in St. Lucie West. More local businesses are needed to open their doors and allow the youth to have on-the-job-training. Ali’s Place is open to youth, not

just with Down syndrome, but also to other youth with disabil-ities. It is licensed and insured and Ali’s Place is a Medicaid Waiver provider. The program costs $50 weekly.The program employs a behavior

tech who has experience within the public school setting, a sign language teacher, and several volunteers.

ST. LUCIE WEST — When Sandy Lingle moved to the Cascades several years ago, the Computer Club was already in full swing. The group, founded by resident Bill Whetzel, its co-president, had between 250-300 members who got together to share knowledge about computers with users at all skill levels.Lingle joined the club to learn

about computers; now, she serves as club communications liaison.Eighteen months ago, the group

decided to take discarded com-puters, restore them and donate them to after-school and other programs. The kids who use the refurbished computers often do not have access to one at home.Lingle said that member Joyce

Grossman noticed a lot of com-puters that were put out for trash collection.“She approached our board,”

Lingle said. “She said that a lot of good equipment was going to waste. She proposed the idea that we make them work again and give them to after-school

programs where kids who haven’t had access to computers could become part of the computer age. Today, if you don’t know how to use computers, you’re lost.”The group decided to support

the program and word soon spread throughout the communi-ty. People getting new computers were asked to donate their old ones. Financial contributions were also accepted to pay for ad-ditional memory and peripheral equipment that had to be pur-chased.Lingle said that the group fol-

lows strict procedures in han-dling the computers.“People trust us,” she said. “They

give us computers with personal information. We use a hard drive shredder to scrub the hard drive. We take out the operating system so it is a box with hardware but no software. We match the soft-ware to the original equipment. Everything is according to factory specifications.”The group went on the Internet

and discovered several free down-loads for kids from groups like “Sesame Street.” They have since discovered that several of the pro-grams are used in the schools.The club members also install

maintenance programs includ-ing a cleaner and anti-malware program.“Computers are like cars or any

piece of equipment,” Lingle said. “You have to maintain them. These are all free downloads that

work beautifully.”Surprisingly, it is not the age

of the computer that determines whether it can be restored, but the operating system used.

“Anything earlier than (Windows) XP is not useable for us,” Lingle said. “The XP program won’t be supported after April, so people are donating Windows XP or Vis-ta. We put in the original operat-ing system and then we download security updates.”The group has had so many

donating that they have had to rent a storage shed. Getting the computers into running order takes time.“It’s much more involved than

people realize,” Lingle said. “Each one is like meeting a new person,

with its own issues and prob-lems. We can set up a number of them and it can take up to three or four days. We have to take everything out and put it back in. For the updates, there’s a lot of download time.”The group is working now on a

request for 56 computers to go to a variety of organizations in St. Lucie County. They have already donated four desktops to Front-line for Kids in Fort Pierce; five laptops, one desktop and three printers to the REACH program at the Costella Williams Learning

Center in Stuart; and a desktop, four laptops and three printers to the Jensen After School Experi-ence program in Jensen Beach.Lingle said she was no computer

expert when she joined the club. “I wanted to learn how to use

them,” she said. “Like many peo-ple, they intimated me.” She learned quickly and now

has the pleasure of helping kids.“It’s very satisfying to do this

kind of work,” she said. “I’ve nev-er seen this done anywhere else. A program like this helps children keep pace with the technological advances they need to master to

succeed in school and business.”The group is not accepting com-

puters or financial contributions right now because they have an embarrassment of riches.“Our storage facility is bursting

at the seams,” Lingle said. “It takes a number of days to fully restore each computer to facto-ry default and then update it to today’s standards. This has re-sulted in a situation where we are accruing donations faster then we can restore them.”They have that list of facilities

and after-school programs that need computers. The dedicated group is working as fast as it can to give kids the tools they need to succeed in the 21st century.

Try to ‘Beat The Priest’ on the golf course ST. LUCIE WEST — St. Berna-

dette Catholic Church will hold its 8th Annual Golf Tournament on Sept. 18. This year the tournament will

be held at The Legacy Golf Club in PGA Village. The event fea-tures a hole-in-one contest on four designated holes with prizes of $10,000, flat screen TV, two domestic air fares and a two-year lease on a Mercedes Benz. The golfers could purchase mulligans, take chances on Pot of Gold as well as a Chinese raffle which will feature many great baskets as well as golf equipment. This year a new contest, Beat The Priest, was fun for all. Awards were given to the longest drives and closest to the pin in addition to

door prizes. St. Bernadette Catholic Church

has been in St. Lucie West since Sept. 2, 2001 and has grown to more than 2,700 registered fam-ilies. It is a parish that is warm, loving and faith-filled. They, as good stewards, respond to the needs of the poor and needy locally and globally. Stewardship is a way of life at St. Bernadette’s and the good stewards in the many ministries are rewarded with a sense of fulfillment to God and our community. All are welcome and all will be served in Christ’s name. Our Churchand Family Life Center is a place

of prayer, peace and enjoyment for us and all the community. The tournament always is a fun

day for the golfers and all good stewards of St. Bernadette Catho-lic Church.

As part of the It Can Wait anti-texting-and-driving move-ment, AT&T is urging people to share their commitment to never text and drive with their families, friends, neighbors and co-work-ers on Drive 4 Pledges Day, Sept. 19. Individuals can sign up at

ItCanWait.com to get resources that will help them share their commitment on social media and personalize the movement on the streets of their communities. Aiming to create a social stig-ma around the dangerous habit of texting and driving, Drive 4 Pledges Day will focus on getting individuals to become advocates of the It Can Wait movement and help spread the word about the dangers of texting behind the wheel. Individuals are encouraged to

do things like change their social profile photos and banner to It

Can Wait graphics, and share their personal pledge stories using the hashtag #ItCanWait. Advocates are also encouraged to host pledge drives and dis-tribute posters in their schools, workplaces and neighborhoods. All materials, such as graphics and posters, will be available for download from ItCanWait.com. The It Can Wait movement is

making a difference. One in three people who’ve seen the texting while driving message say they’ve changed their driving habits, the campaign has inspired more than 2.5 million pledges never to text and drive, and the recent-ly launched “From One Sec-ond To The Next” documentary (twww.youtube.com/watch?v=_BqFkRwdFZ0) has received more than 2 million views since Aug. 8. The It Can Wait campaign was

started by AT&T in 2010 but has grown into a movement, with Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile and 200-plus other organizations joining the cause.

Dining and murder mix at Civic Center

PORT ST. LUCIE — Lori Dolan Revilla doesn’t give much away. Dolan is the owner and manager of Actors with a Clue, which stages interactive murder mysteries. She is not about to tell who did it to a reporter.If you want to play Sherlock

Holmes or Miss Marple, you can see the troupe at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center on Sept. 19 for an evening of dining and deduction. After dinner, they will present “Yer Cheatin’ Heart…Just Stopped Beating.”Revilla and her group are all pro-

fessional actors who have experi-ence in theater, film and television. Many have improvisational skills, a well, because the audience gets involved and the performers have to think on their feet.While the murder mystery is a

staple, the group does other types of programs including scaven-ger hunts and mock weddings. They have performed at corporate events and for summer camps.“The kids went nuts for it,” Revilla

said. “There are kid and adult-ori-ented tasks. It’s not just a list of things to find. People have to do a task to get a clue. It’s really inter-active.”While the group was originally

famous yeast rolls, glazed with butter.For the health conscious eat-

er, there are seemingly endless choices of fruits and vegetables including romaine and iceberg lettuce, pears, peaches and okra. Guests can also sample flavors

from around the globe including Italian, Mexican and Asian foods.Early risers can feast on the

breakfast buffet, which features made-to-order omelettes, pan-cakes, sausage and bacon, fruit

and French toast.Although the restaurant is a

buffet, the service is superior. Servers make sure customers are satisfied and always have a fresh drink.Owner Fred Olama said he’s

happy his staff has gained that great reputation in the short span the restaurant has been open.“We’re seeking to make a plea-

surable dining (experience) for all of our guests and enjoy the dollar amount they spend with the quality of food,” said Olama, who favors the pot roast. “Great food,

great atmosphere, clean restau-rant.”The 10,330-square-foot restau-

rant, which seats 364, opened in early August and has been bus-tling with business since, Olama said.“The city of Port St. Lucie has

welcomed us real good and we enjoy serving them,” he said.Olama said being in the restau-

rant business is “in his blood.”During his three decades in

the business, Olama owned a chain of Denny’s Restaurants in the Orlando area before opening his first Golden Corral in 2006. Olama is planning to open a fifth Golden Corral in the St. Peters-burg area. “It’s something that I’m good at

and I love meeting different peo-ple every day,” Olama said. Olama’s St. Lucie West location

is a shining example of his pas-sion for stellar service and whole-some food with a family-friendly atmosphere.

Golden Corral is located at 651 N.W. St. Lucie West Blvd., St. Lucie West. (772) 621-7920.

geared toward adults, they did a lot of work at time shares where there were kids in the audience. The kids didn’t want a murder in the story, so they came up with the scavenger hunts. Each of the shows is self-con-

tained. The group brings its own sound system and microphones and averages five actors per show, although mock weddings may have as many as 10.“It’s set up like a real wedding,

but it’s comical,” Revilla said. “We did “Bubba Bags a Bride,” with a hillbilly theme, way before ‘Honey Boo Boo.’ We also have ‘Goombas in Garters: A Love Story.’ It can be Italian, Latin or gay. The story stays the same. The dialogue and characters change. I like to custom-ize my shows.”The group appeared at the Civ-

ic Center in July, with a different show. Revilla knows there can be too much of a good thing.“I don’t do overkill,” she said. “I

don’t do a show every week.” The group will return to the Civic

Center in November with a different program, “Hooray for Holly-weird.”While Revilla never reveals a plot,

she does say that the cast of char-acters might include Candy Co-qauvin, a wine sommelier; Hay R. Ewing, son of the deceased owner of the West Spoon Ranch; Judy Garlic, a world-famous actress; and Cecil B. DePille, the famous direc-tor. “Any or all may appear,” Revilla

said. “There may be others. That’s all I’m giving away.”Some members of the audience

will have bit parts.“We do a couple of scenes with

the audience playing characters,” she said. “They don’t have to learn anything. If it’s a private group, we might ask the host who the six biggest hams are. We hand them a paragraph to read. They really get into it. Sometimes we have to stop them because they get into it.”Everything the group performs is

written by them, so they are able to tailor the show to the audience. That means that shows can be tamed down to make them suitable for younger audiences. They have performed at theater camps.“We’re professionals,” Revilla said.

“It’s fun, and we’ve been doing this awhile. We get compliments from the staffs (at the venues) on the level of professionalism.” Feeling like Colombo, I wanted to

ask Revilla just one more thing, but she clammed up. She had said all she was going to. You’ll just have to wait until Sept. 19 if you want to know more.
