TESORO — It’s back. “This is the second an-

nual Tesoro Challenger (Women’s Open),” said Winston Owen, owner and director of tennis at the Racquet Club at Tesoro. Late last year

the United States Tennis Associa-tion announced that the club would again host a wom-en’s $25,000 pro-circuit tourney. Events will span from Jan. 12 to 19. The club already had a

quali-fying tournament

many local hopefuls played a couple weeks back.

“We had 32 players in that one,” Owen said.

Among them were Korina Neveux, Palm City. Korina said she didn’t fare well against some strong local competitors.

ST. LUCIE WEST — St. Lucie West really is a city within in a city, according to the U.S. Postal Service. Many residents may not

know it, but “St. Lucie West” is an acceptable mailing name for res-idents in the 34986, 34987 and 34988 zip codes.“(St. Lucie West) is recog-

nized by our mail-sorting equipment,” said Debbie Fetterly, communications head of the USPS’s South Eastern Florida district.And it’s been the case

since March 2010. The official move was

made when Port St. Lucie was still a part of the

now-defunct Central Flor-ida district. The request to have St. Lucie West recognized in the city field was made by residents, Fetterly said.St. Lucie West resident

Suzanne Eovaldi recently reached out to District 18 U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, to have him urge the USPS to officially recognize St. Lucie West.Little did she know, that

was already the case.“Getting our own name

is a huge step at getting the worth and honor we deserve … it’s a matter of self-identity,” Eovaldi said.“Tradition,” however, is

not technically an accept-able name, Fetterly said.In order for “Tradition,”

TORINO — Port St. Lucie May-or JoAnn Faiella is going from lawmaker to lobbyist next week during a trip to Washington, D.C.While in the nation’s capital, Fa-

iella hopes to gain congressional support to change strict laws that restrict a city from denying sober homes in residential areas with-out legal ramifications.

“I’m going to lobby very hard. I’m meeting with congressmen, one by one, letters have been sent out, I’m making personal phone calls,” said Faiella, who will be departing Port St. Lucie on Jan. 18. “I’m very confident that this is going to come to light next year.”The city needs more leeway in

dictating appropriate locations for

detox and sober homes, Faiella said. The mayor plans to push for permitting on group homes so the city and police departments know where they are. There are no records kept on sober homes located within the city’s bound-aries.

My doctor sent me to Joe for my hearing loss. At first I was a little concerned because I have heard so many negative things about hearing aids and I was not all that excited about my visit to Mutter’s Hearing Center. Nonetheless I went to see Joe, from the moment I walked in the door I was made to feel at home by Tammy who met me and walked me through some very simple paperwork I had to fill out. Joe did a very complete hearing test and I decided to get hearing aids from him. After Joe explained my options I decided to get myself good hearing aids. It was after that, when I found out that the people that had gotten hearing aids somewhere else were fooled by the come on ads and bought the cheap hearing aids that were the ones that they complained about how they didn’t work and just made things louder. Joe spent quite a bit of time with me to help me understand my hearing loss and I love my new hearing aids that I got from Joe. I cannot thank my doctor enough for sending me to Joe!

Veteran new dealership owner

FORT PIERCE — Kevin Hester is an all-American success sto-ry. The new managing partner of Fort Pierce Buick and GMC was born in Iowa and grew up in the Midwest. He joined the Navy at 17 and spent 21 years in the service. “I was deployed on six different

aircraft carriers in the Mediterra-nean and Persian Gulf,” he said. “I was an enlisted man for 10 years and then commissioned. I retired as an 03e Mustang.” (That grade designation translates to a lieutenant with enlisted experi-ence.) Hester came to Florida for boot

camp 35 years ago and was stationed in Jacksonville for his entire Navy career. “I love it here,” he said, “I’m

never going back. I have five loca-tions on my phone to remind me of how good it is here.” Hester got into the automobile

business after he left the Navy. “I started as a service writer

and worked up to general man-ager and managing partner,” he

said. “I’ve worked in every single department and held every posi-tion.” Hester worked for the Garber

Management Group in Saginaw, Mich., and last year he spent part of the winter in that state, train-ing with different stores. While he was there, he got a call that there was a dealership for sale in Florida. “They asked if I were interested

in buying and I said, ‘Absolutely,” he said. In July 2013, Hester became

managing partner of the former Roger Dean Buick in Fort Pierce. He has big plans. “We’re going to tear down the

building and build a state-of-the-art Buick/GMC facility,” he said. “There will also be a used car facility. We want to become a leader in customer and employee satisfaction in the market area, one customer at time.” Hester said that customers now

are people who see the new sign and are curious or those who did business with the former owners for many years. In either case, he wants those customers to become Fort Pierce Buick/GMC custom-ers.

“Fort Pierce is a small town,” he said. “People have lived here their whole lives. We’re interested in getting involved in the community and doing the right things.” The company has already con-

tributed to the local public radio station, WQCS, and is planning to support the Police Athletic League. “We’ll maybe sponsor a team or

I’ll coach,” he said. “It depends on construction demands. We have reached out to PAL.” When he’s not on the job, Hes-

ter’s passion is drag racing. “I’m an avid drag racer,” he

said. “I’ve competed in division and national events with the Na-tional Hot Rod Association. I like any sport there is. I hunt, fish, bowl and play golf. And I can do it all here in Florida.” Hester is proud that he has

been able to travel the world, doing things he never expected to do when he was growing up in the Midwest. However, he is most proud of his family. He and his wife, Helen, have five children, three of whom are in college. “Raising kids was perhaps the

greatest thing,” he said. “This was the first Christmas in 35 years

without any children (at home.) They all have girlfriends and fam-ilies, all doing their own things. We thought it was pretty neat.”

Fort Pierce Buick GMC is located at 5255 South U.S. 1, Fort Pierce. For more information, visit the website at www.fortpiercebuick-gmc.com or call Kevin Hester at (904) 254-3126.

PORT ST. LUCIE — A St. Lucie County judge will consider City Councilman Ron Bowen’s request to drop a criminal case against him.Judge Kathryn Nelson will hear

the request for a dismissal on Jan. 31 at 10:30 a.m. in a Fort Pierce courtroom.Bowen’s Stuart attorney, Rich-

ard Kibbey, filed a motion to dismiss Bowen’s criminal mis-demeanor charge on Dec. 26. Kibbey also requested the hearing be expedited.“We asked for an early hearing

date because we’re anxious to have this matter put behind Mr. Bowen,” Kibbey said. “We believe he’s innocent and believe his con-duct didn’t violate the law.”Bowen was charged on Nov.

25 with a second-degree misde-meanor for attending a meeting of the council on Feb. 2 through an intermediary, city attorney Roger Orr, during which two or more members of the council took official action about offering then city manager Greg Oravec a severance package. Bowen faces up to 60 days in jail

and/or a fine of up to $500.The District 4 councilman was

suspended by Gov. Rick Scott on Nov. 27 in the wake of allegations by the state attorney’s office that he broke Florida’s open meetings laws, known as Sunshine Laws.The indefinite suspension for-

bids Bowen from performing any official act or function of public office. He also lost his annual pay of $30,035.A special election to fill the sus-

pended council member’s chair has been scheduled and is esti-mated to cost taxpayers a pretty penny.During its last meeting of the

year on Dec. 9, the council voted to move forward with an election set for Feb. 25 to fill the District 4 seat of Bowen, who was elected into office last year. The election is estimated to cost $125,000.City charter requires the munic-

ipality to hold a special election if there are more than six months remaining on an unexpired term or more than six months before the next regular election. The

special election must happen between 30 to 90 days after a vacancy or suspension. Bowen’s council term expires in November 2016. Should Bowen be cleared in the courts before the election is held, he can reclaim his seat. If he’s cleared after the election, he can also reclaim his seat, the city’s assistant attorney Pam Booker said.If Nelson rules in Bowen’s favor,

he’s not the only winner, Kibbey said.“That would be one of the reme-

dies that would be excellent. The city would not have to go through the extra expense of staging an additional election,” Kibbey said.Should the motion for dismissal

be denied, Kibbey expects a jury trial in late February or early March.Two other council members were

also charged in connection with Oravec’s release. Mayor JoAnn Faiella was

charged with two civil infractions. The first for deleting text mes-sages and a second for commu-nicating through Orr, documents state. Faiella said during a public meeting she plans to fight the charges and has hired a personal attorney. Faiella is expected to appear before a judge sometime next month.Councilwoman Shannon Martin

was charged with a civil infrac-tion for destroying text messages. Each infraction carries a fine of up to $500 each. Martin admit-ted her wrongs and paid a $250 fine for her infraction. Vice Mayor Linda Bartz and Councilwoman Michelle Berger were not charged with any wrongdoing.

Thank you, residents and businesses, for ‘Being a Santa to a Senior’ this season

Dear Editor, A meeting of taxpayers of St.

Lucie West will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Island Club in PGA Village. We want to explore the needs we have out here in St. Lucie West and how our tax-payer dollars are being spent out here, or rather, not being spent, to fix what is wrong in St. Lucie West. First, something must be done

about this very dangerous inter-section at Peacock and St. Lucie West boulevards. The wrecks and near-wrecks no longer are accept-able. We, also, need to discuss our future with the governance of the town of Port St. Lucie. At present, our area does not have a town council presence for the zip codes

of 34986, 34987, 34988. We want our taxpayer dollars returned to us in our communities to fix what we need to be fixed. We’d like to talk over our needs and options. Please turn out. This is your meeting, not for the politicians. Jim Rich, mayoral candidate from zip code 34986, is invited to attend and outline his plans for us. Please call either Don at (772) 242-1677 or Suzanne at (772) 879-1742. We need a crowd estimate to give to the venue. Thank you so very much. Please come out and share thoughts and ideas with your own neighbors at a time and place that is convenient for all of us.Suzanne EovaldiSt. Lucie West

Sharon Fichman of Can-ada earned her first title of 2013 with a victory in the singles division in the Tesoro Challenger at Tesoro last January. Fichman lost only one set during the match on her way to the title. This year’s event runs Jan. 12-19 at Tesoro.

me to get back,” she said.She’s heading to Mexico soon

for more tournament play. Kori-na has played some pro tour-naments, but because she’s not taken winnings is considered amateur. She plans to watch the Challenger and meet some tennis pals.“I have a lot of friends who are

pro,” Korina said. “I’ll go there and watch them play and sup-port them.” Mari Osaka took top spot in

the qualifier. Owen said there are several lo-

cal players that the tennis world might soon be watching with much keener interest, including Martin County’s Stella Fedele. “She’s one of the top high

school players,” Owen said. The club hopes events such as

the Challenger helps the Trea-sure Coast get a tennis boost.“Tennis in this area is now in

the up-and-coming,” Owen said. “It’s not a tennis community yet, but I’m working on it. We have several clubs in the area doing a great job promoting the sport, not just me.” About 100 rising tennis pros

gathered for world-class com-petition at the premier Tesoro Challenger last year. The out-door clay-court event was the second for the United States Tennis Association Pro Circuit women’s 2013 season.“Last year, we had 3,000 to

4,000 spectators,” Owen said. “This year, we’re aiming for 5,000 or more. We’re getting the community involved.” In singles competitions last

year, Canadian Sharon Fich-man took top spot over Slove-nian Tadeja Majeric in finals,

posting a 6-3, 6-2 victory. In doubles, Russian Angelina Gabueva teamed up with Amer-ican Allie Will to shut down Argentinean Florencia Molinero and Venezuelan Adriana Perez. The real winner was the Trea-

sure Coast, Owen said. It got a big economic boost from the competition, along with a good bite of international tennis. “Last year, the (Tesoro) winner

went all the way to the U.S. Open,” Owen said. “Now (locals) have ties to these players. We like to think that the road to the U.S. Open starts at Tesoro.” Owen said the Challenger drew

folks from all over Florida. “It definitely made a big impact

in the area,” he said. “People had to stay in the hotels, so a lot of room nights. They had to get cars, and eat, and go shopping. Every vender in the community benefited from this event.” The Challenger also benefits

area animals. Some proceeds will go to the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast. “Last year we did around

$9,000, $10,000 for them,” Owen said. He added, “We have dogs on-site during the tourna-ment you can adopt. I’m a big animal lover.”Local tennis aficionados will

take the court for their own ex-citing tourney action Feb. 22 to 23. That’ll be the annual Sinku-la Wealth Management Aces for Independence. “Local amateurs can play on

this, all levels,” Owen said. That tourney will benefit the

Foundation Fighting Blindness. For more about the tourneys,

visit tesorochallenger.com and racquetclubtesoro.com. The club is at 199 S.E. Via Tesoro Blvd, Port St. Lucie.

to be recognized, a government official must draft a recommen-dation with a map of Tradition’s boundaries and send it to Jeffery A. Taylor, the district manager for South Eastern Florida, Fet-terly said. Tradition falls un-der the 34987 zip code.The

request will be reviewed immedi-ately, and as long as the change doesn’t affect any other areas or is an added ex-pense, the request will be granted within 60 days, Fetterly said.During the review process,

the district manager will review boundary lines, ensure Tradition doesn’t share a zip code with another area and meet with the local postmaster who is familiar with the area, Fetterly said.The process is formally known

as a zip code boundary review process.A local government official

already has pledged to draft the required letter on behalf of the

master-planned community.“If that’s what the majority of the

community wants, I’d be more than happy to do it. I’m proud of Tradition. It’s beautiful. I’m proud of St. Lucie West,” Port St. Lucie Mayor JoAnn Faiella said.

“These are the com-munities that

are attract-ing all of the people and all of the busi-nesses here.”Zip code

chang-es are always

noted in the

Postal Bulletin, which is available to the public on www.

usps.com, Fetterly said. The individual who requested

the change is also notified of the outcome. Governing bodies are also notified, Fetterly added. The media is usually alerted as well, she said.One Tradition resident said she’d

be elated if Tradition followed in St. Lucie West’s footsteps.“That would be wonderful,” for-

mer Port St. Lucie City Council-woman Jane Rowley said. “That just says people are happy about living in Tradition and are proud they live in Tradition.”

In order to make a compelling case, Faiella said she needs 217 congressional signatures pledg-ing support. U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, has already signed on the dotted line, Faiella said.Council decisions to deny detox

projects are anything but dis-criminatory, Faiella said.“Make no mistake. I’m not

against them. They’re very help-ful. We need them, but, here it is, people don’t want them in their backyards,” she said. “So, let’s find a middle ground on where to put them. That’s all I’m asking the federal and state government. Help us out here.” “If a law doesn’t work and that

we can’t tell them where to go, because they think we’re discrim-inating, that’s not so, that’s not true.”A good middle ground is land

located near a hospital, Faiella said.“God forbid somebody decides

to have a heart attack or some-thing where you need to rush them to the hospital and get them help,” Faiella said. “Even though it’s zoned and they have to get special exceptions and all of that, is a that (residential community) the right place?”It’s not just detox facilities that

aren’t suitable for an address in a residential area, Faiella said.“People elect us for a purpose

to represent them. Let’s say for argument sake, there’s manu-facturing that’s going to go into Torino, for example,” Faiella said. “And those people say, ‘they’re noisy, we don’t want them here,’ we have to listen to them.”A city council’s decision to deny

a detox site plan, translates into certain litigation for the munic-ipality. To date, the city is being sued by three separate detox or sober home entities, which claim the city discriminated against them.The latest lawsuit, filed on Dec.

24, is from Neurogenix Inc. and

Another New Life LLC. The city, Councilwoman Michelle Berger and Faiella are listed as defen-dants. The lawsuit is seeking an un-

specified amount of monetary damages due to discrimination under the Americans with Dis-abilities Act and the federal Fair Housing Act, court documents state. The site plan met rigorous criteria to receive a special excep-tion on the institutionally zoned land, but was denied anyway, the lawsuit states.Recovering drug and alcohol

addicts are considered disabled under the Americans with Dis-abilities Act and are protected under the federal Fair Housing Act. That means there is little a local government can do to stop a sober or group home from open-ing in a residential area. It also gives municipalities little recourse to deny a detox treatment center on an institutionally zoned lot without being sued.

That’s all I’m asking the federal and

The founder of New Life Addic-tion Treatment Center, which is located in Port St. Lucie, wanted to build a facility with two build-ings on the 3.93-acre property he owns on the northeast corner of Northwest East Torino Parkway and Zenith Drive. New Life cur-rently has six sober homes in the city. The proposed complex was to in-

clude a 30-bed detox and a reha-bilitation center. The first phase would have been 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 completed an unspecified amount of detoxification. That part of the plan was

changed weeks into community discussions to appease residents, project representatives said. It changed to be a single-story 14,000 square feet, 40-bed facili-ty. Group or sober homes do not need approval from the planning and zoning board. But, detox and convalescent homes, which ad-minister medication and allow for a longer stay and more patients,

do.Councilmembers said they ex-

pected a lawsuit, but reserved the right to vote on the item.“Until the federal government

says we have hands off on this issue, and as long as there’s something in front of me that says I get to votes ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ that means I get to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ depending on what I feel is compatible with a neighborhood,” Councilwoman Michelle Berger said at the council’s Sept. 27 meeting when the final, unani-mous decision was rendered.The lawsuit also charges resi-

dents publically displayed hos-tility toward the detox and sober home site plan.“Where does it end? It’s crazy.

It’s a proliferation in the city … Our property values go down, plus the risk,” one Torino resi-dent is quoted as saying. “Do we know if any of these patients are pedophiles or convicted of violent crimes? We don’t know who is living in the houses.”“This is an attempt to leech into

a residential neighborhood … I’m afraid to let my child walk to the store … I see one of these guys trying to approach my kid … this is not a safe place anymore …,” another resident is quoted as saying.

ST. LUCIE WEST — After years of anticipation, abandoned and lost felines and canines have a spacious, new state-of-the-art shelter until they find a forever family.The Humane Society of St. Lucie

County finally opened the doors to its newly constructed facility in St. Lucie West, located on Glades Cut-Off Road. The facility, which began accepting dogs and cats in early December, will have a grand opening later this month.“This is a new shelter that has

been many years in the work and three years to build,” said market-ing and outreach coordinator Rita Hart.Since its soft opening before the

holidays, plenty of paws have passed through the entrance.“In the first week we were open,

Port St. Lucie Animal Control showed up with nine dogs, so we’re filling up fast,” Hart said.The facility will serve the south-

ern portion of the county, Hart said. The $3 million building,

which sits on 4.25 acres of land, will provide a much-needed relief on the Fort Pierce facility, which saw 8,000 animals last year alone. A boost in population made the new building necessary. “The Fort Pierce facility is 50

years old. We just didn’t have enough room,” Hart said.The massive yellow and white

building faces north to take ad-vantage of natural eastern and westerly winds through the 48 dog kennels, which can be dou-bled to accommodate more pooch-es.The facility also has a triage

room, cat and dog recovery rooms, and a wellness center to spay and neuter, install micro-chips and vaccinate animals. There are two open-air play areas with faux grass and plastic fire hydrants and sick rooms to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses among the animals.A fully equipped surgical wing

was made possible from a $45,000 donation from Petco, Hart said. A&G Pools, which services the Treasure Coast, pro-vided funds to build an outdoor fence for playtime. Treasure Coast appliance giant, Jetson, donated a washer and dryer, Hart added. The facility is also eco-friendly.“The building is extremely energy

efficient,” Hart said. “When you leave the room, the lights go off.”A sanctuary room provides priva-

cy for grieving families.“This room allows them to spend

some time with their animal when that time comes and they need some time to collect themselves,” Hart said.The public will get a chance to

tour the facility during a Jan. 18 grand opening event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A ribbon cutting with Port St. Lucie Mayor JoAnn Faiella will be held at 10 a.m. A blessing of the animals with take place at 11 a.m. There will also be music, face painting and food vendors, Hart said.“We’re inviting people that have

adopted from us to bring your an-imals back,” Hart said. “We’d love to see them.”Attendees will also get a chance

to meet the animals, including Sadie, a boxer.“She is a doll. She is a wonderful

dog. She’s so sweet. She won’t jump on you,” Hart said. “She was a stray and nobody came looking for her.”Coco, a 9 year old poodle mix

with chronic eye problems, is also looking for a home after her owner went into a nursing home. Coco receives three eye drops a day.“We’re willing to provide the

adopter with those drops,” Hart said.A common misconception, Hart

said, is that animals are regularly euthanized.

“We have absolutely no time limit on how long we keep dogs ... We have one that I put on Facebook that’s been with us since July,” Hart said.The shelter is always looking for volunteers

and foster families, Hart said.“If we have foster families, dogs like Coco can

go into a home, rather than into a kennel,” Hart said. “We have fosters that just want to give older dogs a comfortable place for the rest of their lives.”Board members Sandee and Art Allen of Fort

Pierce said they got involved with the Human Society of St. Lucie County “to save as many animals as we can,” Sandee said.If more funding is secured through public

donations and corporate sponsorship, there

are more great things in store for animals in the county.“We have four more building still to build.

The next four buildings are going to be noth-ing but kennels,” Art said. Once the buildings are erected, the facility

will be able to hold 400 animals. Upcoming events:

TREASURE COAST — It doesn’t have a home yet, but the American Legion Aaron Vaughn Post 399 is in Palm City. Commander Frank Maitland

said the post draws veterans from Tradition, St. Lucie West, and other parts of Martin and St. Lucie community. “I used to be in (American Legion)

Post 62, the Stuart post,” Maitland said. “They moved to south Stuart. (Joe Anderson, Palm City) who was in 62 said, ‘You know a lot of guys don’t want to go all the way to south Stuart.”In 2010, Post 62 moved from

meeting at the Stuart Veterans of Foreign Wars’ facility, 2464 S.E. Veterans Ave. It headed to new digs at 6412 S.E. Federal Highway. The separation is five miles, but those are urbanized miles with traffic, lights and inconvenience for many from Palm City and other parts. Post 399 is meeting at the Stuart Veterans of Foreign Wars now. The meetings are on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. “When 399 got going, I stepped

into commander off the bat,” Mait-land said. Maitland said the post has about

35 members. “We’re looking at 300, 400,” he

said. “There’re a lot of vets in Palm City.” In addition to leading 399, Mait-

land is commander of the legion’s District 11, which includes 22 posts in Okeechobee, Martin and Palm Beach counties. He’s also the vice chairman of Veterans Council of Martin County. His wife, Jo Ann, is president of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 399, among many other credits in the local veterans’ community. The two are a bit of a veterans

power couple. Maitland said the post 399’s small

size gives aspiring veterans leaders an unusual opportunity to develop and test their mettle. He said the post is regularly discussing growth ideas and looking for go-getters

who’ll lead the way. Maitland said the post is particularly interested in having a younger-than-average median age than most. “That’s what we’re looking for,” he

said. “We’re trying to get the kids that are coming back from Afghan-istan to join, to sign up. We need these younger guys to bring newer blood in there, newer ideas.” The commander said the post has

already made a decision that when it starts growing its ranks and getting a facility of its own, it won’t serve alcohol in dim light. “We don’t want to do that,” Mait-

land said. “We don’t want that image. We want families to be able to come in and have fun. Not the old smoke-filled bar to buy cheap drinks.” The post has a demographic tide

to swim against. Nationally, many veterans organi-

zations have famously been strug-gling to keep up membership in the last couple decades. For some, the idea of growing seems out of reach. There’s a reason for that. According to the U.S. Department

of Veterans Affairs, there are about 22.7 million military veterans living in the U.S. As military equipment improved and accompanying jobs become more specialized, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard needed ever fewer members. By 2035, the number of veterans is expected to be about 14 million.From 2000 to 2010, there was

about a 15 percent decrease in veterans as older ones died, but weren’t being replaced with as many younger one. Florida lost somewhere between 11 to 19 percent of its veteran population during those years. However, it remains one of only four states with more than 1 million veterans, according to the Florida Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs — which is a state agency separate from the federal VA.“If you’re a veteran with an hon-

orable discharge, come on in,” Maitland said. “We want to talk to you.”

ST. LUCIE WEST — Women and men of St. Lucie County are invited to the Treasure Coast NOW chap-ter meeting of the National Organi-zation for Women on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 6:30 p.m., at The Inner Truth Project, 2190 Reserve Park Trace, No.13, in St. Lucie West. In honor of the 41st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Francine Sachs, a princi-pal in the business strategy con-sulting Gilbert Sachs Group and president of Emergency Medical Assistance, Inc., and Mona S. Reis,

founder and director of Presidential Women’s Center, will share their personal stories that shatter the myths and misconceptions about abortion. Reis is a seasoned healthcare

professional who has devoted her life to providing abortion services. Since the day after the Supreme Court ruled in the Roe v. Wade decision when Reis was hired by the University of Miami School of Medicine to be a counselor at the first abortion clinic in Miami, she has been a leader in both advocacy and service in the field of women’s health.

NOW reaffirms Roe v. Wade Anniversary According to the Guttmacher

Institute, nearly half of pregnan-cies among American women are unintended. One in three women have had an abortion by the time they are 40 years old. Almost two-thirds of abortions are obtained by women who have at least one child, for reasons ranging from lack of financial resources to in-ability to properly care for another individual to being single or having problems with their partner. Then, too, there are medical concerns and conditions that warrant hav-ing an abortion. Sachs was married and 40 years

old when she was pregnant for the first time. Because of her age, she had genetic testing performed early in the pregnancy, only to be told that the fetus had Trisomy 13, a chromosomal condition associated with severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities. Her doctor and genetic counselor high-ly recommended that she have an abortion. She went to the Presiden-tial Women’s Center in West Palm Beach, where she was treated with dignity and respect. Sachs says that abortion is the

classic scarlet letter “A.” “People in general think that only

those who aren’t careful, or those who aren’t married or well-ed-ucated — someone ‘lesser’ than me — get pregnant. But things happen. Who are we to judge?” Sachs. “Making the choice to have an abortion is a carefully thought-out, highly personal decision. And it’s not just a woman’s issue, for it affects a woman’s partner as well.” Always a supporter of reproduc-

tive rights, Sachs became more involved when she discovered first-hand the current state of reproductive rights. Her thoughts turned to those who found them-selves in a similar situation but did not have the financial resourc-es or support to have the choices that she had. As a direct result, she joined the board of Emergency Medical Assistance Inc. in 2007 and became president in 2008. Emergency Medical Assistance Inc. is an independent nonprofit organization serving Palm Beach County and surrounding areas in South East Florida, helping to pro-vide funding for abortions for wom-

en and girls who are faced with an unintended or problem pregnancy which they cannot afford to termi-nate. On Jan. 22, 1973, the United

States Supreme Court ruled that the right to decide whether to have a child is a fundamental right guaranteed by the U.S. Consti-tution. Before the passage of Roe v. Wade, it was estimated that as many as 10,000 women died each year following illegal abor-tions. Today abortion is one of the safest procedures. Roe v. Wade recognized that the right to make childbearing choices is central to women’s lives, one that affects their ability to participate fully and equally in society. “For 41 years, NOW and women’s

rights activists around the coun-try have been fighting to ensure that women have access to the full range of reproductive health care services, including abortion, birth control and prenatal care,” said Treasure Coast NOW president Mindi Fetterman. “But the struggle continues as far-right extremists continue to attack, passing numer-ous state anti-abortion laws and pressing for complete defunding of family planning clinics. Treasure Coast NOW will continue to push for positive social change that ulti-mately benefits all.” Meetings are held on the third

Tuesday of each month. For more information, contact president Mindi Fetterman at (561) 909-9991, by email at [email protected], or visit www.TreasureCoastNOW.org. The National Organization for

Women is the largest organization of feminist activists in the United States. Since its founding in 1966, NOW’s goal has been to take ac-tion to bring about equality for all women. NOW works to eliminate discrimination and harassment in the workplace, schools, the jus-tice system, and all other sectors of society; secure abortion, birth control and reproductive rights for all women; end all forms of violence against women; eradicate racism, sexism and homophobia; and promote equality and justice in society.

not find it in so many stores,” Ayzenberg said of a bottle of Australian Tournon Shiraz red wine. The Australian grape, known as Shiraz, is abundant in the country. The full bodied wine is widely known for its pep-pery flavor.Ayzenberg, a Russian native

who grew up in vino vineyards where his father worked, is a wine connoisseur. “I remember I was a little guy

walking around and would see his barrels,” Ayzenberg said. “When I was a kid, to be popu-

lar with everybody, you tell them I have wine,” Ayzenberg said through a thick Russian accent.Ayzenberg, who moved to St.

Lucie West from Boston years ago with his wife because of the clear blue skies and mild weath-er here, said the name of his shop achieves the shock value he strives for.“I wanted people to come and

be in shock,” he said. “Some-times the wine that we find here is totally different than in other stores.”“… This idea to give people a

chance to find something here

that is not in every store, this is why.”The name was also derived

from the 2007 dramatic comedy “Bottle Shock,” the true story of the early days of California wine making.To honor his heritage, Ayzen-

berg carries a variety of wine from his homeland.“Russian is totally different.

It’s the opposite (of Italian wine),” he said. “It’s off dry. This means it’s semi-sweet ... It’s so smooth.”Bottle Shock also boasts wine

from France, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, New Zealand, Ger-many and more.Ask him what his favorite wine

is and Ayzenberg will tell you each blend is like his child.“No wine is my favorite,” Ayzen-

berg said with a warm smile.A popular wine with customers

is Corvo red wine from Sicily. The wine is ruby-red in color, and known for its intense and fruity taste. It’s also dry. If a customer can’t find a bottle he or she desires, Ayzenberg can special order it. Some of the bottles in Ayzenberg’s shop are worthy of keeping and display-

ing once finished. The glass bottles are shaped in the form of snakes and roosters.Another patron favorite is Bere

Italian red blend, which is a full, flavorful and velvety wine, Ayzenberg said. “For $14, this is what surprises

the people ... I cannot keep it on the shelf.”Bottle Shock also carries an

array of cigars and cheese along with caviar. The delacy is best spread atop

About Brillat Savarin with Pa-paya, which is also sold at the store. The gourmet spread is a buttery and creamy cheese with sweet chunks of papaya. Ayzenberg also sells unique

FORT PIERCE — Glen Burtnik is one of several pretty fair musicians to come out of New Jersey, going back to Frank Sinatra and including a couple of guys named Springsteen and Bon Jovi. The former bass player for Styx says there is a theory about that. “There is a theory that we’re close enough to the bright lights of the

greatest city in the world, yet far enough away,” he said. “It’s attain-able, but it takes a lot to get it all. It’s in between two historic cities, New York and Philadelphia. Maybe you have to work harder when you’re from here.” Burtnik has never scorned work. In addition to performing with

Styx, he was on Broadway as Paul McCartney in “Beatlemania.” He is also traveling with alumni of the Electric Light Orchestra in a show featuring their greatest hits. On Feb. 16, Burtnik presents yet another of his passions, the mu-

sic of the 1960s and early 1970s, in a program called “The Summer of Love Concert.” It brings music from the 1967 release of the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper” album through Woodstock. In a recent interview, Burtnik discussed his love for this music. “I was 9 when I watched the Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show,”

he said. “I had two older brothers and I wanted to be a teenager. I still do. I got caught up in the 1960s. It’s the soundtrack of my life. I embrace it. I love that era. The best-known records of the 1980s are really, deep down, about the 1960s.” Burtnik said that even though there was great social change and

division over a war, it was a good time. “I look at it positively as a time of great optimism,” he said. “It was

reflected in the colorfulness of the music. There was an openness to that era.”

To celebrate the music of art-ists including the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Chicago, Sonny and Cher and even the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Burtnik has assembled a group of musicians. “I hand-picked guys I thought

could bring this music to life,” he said. “It’s a musical revue of the era, but I wanted to do more than play the songs. Marc Rubin-stein had a famous light show. I dragged him out of retirement and got him involved.” Many of the musicians Burt-

nik has selected are too young to remember the performances the first time around. “I’m the oldest guy involved,” he

said. “We pulled apart the per-formances and studied them. I insisted we try to find the closest garb. We try to touch on stuff everybody remembers and some of the stuff that doesn’t always get played.” While they don’t do every num-

ber at every show, one of their specialties is a re-creation of the full version of “Light my Fire” by the Doors. Burtnik is not sure if he em-

braced the music or it embraced him. “It’s the music that moves me

the most,” he said. “I was 12 in 1967. At that point, ‘Sgt. Pepper’ came out and there was the Peter Max explosion of color and art. I was 12 and when you hit that age, you’re switching gears to becoming a grown-up and you’re very impressionable. Was it that

the times were so rich or that I was sensitive to the times be-cause I was that age? It has cast a very long shadow.” As if this project were not

enough, Burtnik returns to the Sunrise Feb. 1 with “An Eve-ning of Electric Light Orchestra’s Greatest Hits.” “Since 2009, I’ve been working

with The Orchestra, former mem-bers of Electric Light Orchestra,” he said. “Their original bass play-er passed away and I replaced him. I’ve has the pleasure of trav-eling all over the world with these guys. John Lennon called them ‘Beatles Jr.’ and they were very much influenced by that era.” Burtnik also appears at Beatles

conventions, where he is consid-ered something of an expert. Doing all of these projects is

good for him, he said. “It’s not the same things over

and over again. It’s diving into different pools. I have musical ADD, so it’s not too often in the same pool.” Glen Burtnik brings The Sum-

mer of Love Concert to the Sunrise Theatre, 117 S. Second St., Fort Pierce, Jan.16 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $19-$39. VIP Meet & Greet Tickets are $49. He returns to the Sunrise The-

atre Feb. 1 for “An Evening of Electric Light Orchestra’s Greatest Hits.” Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are $49-$55.

For ticket information, call the box office at (772) 461-4775 or order online at www.sunrisethe-atre.com.

PORT ST. LUCIE — The Port St. Lucie Police Department is start-ing a new Citizens’ Police Academy that will meet twice weekly from Jan. 28 to March 20, at the Port St. Lucie Police Department’s headquarters located at 121 S.W. Port St. Lucie Bvld., Port St. Lucie. Classes will be held on Tuesday

and Thursday nights from 6 – 9 p.m. and are taught by various members of the police depart-ment. The academy is for citizens who want to learn about how the police department operates. Atten-dance to this academy does not lead to certification or employment as a police officer. Citizens will be introduced to the

various divisions within the police

department and will learn about the specialized work of both civil-ian and sworn police staff. There will be a Saturday field trip to the 9-1-1 call center and to the police firing range. The Port St. Lucie Police Depart-

ment recognizes that informed citizens are the best resource to reduce crime and the citizens’ police academy is designed to give residents a new perspective on the need for strong relationships between law enforcement officials and the community. There is no fee to attend the

academy, but space is limited so early registration is encouraged. For more information or applica-

tions are available by contacting volunteer coordinator Thomas Andrew at (722) 344-4052.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The UF/IFAS St. Lucie County Coopera-tive Extension Office is encourag-ing residents input on the devel-opment of a catchy, new slogan designed to promote the use of polarized lenses to help boaters spot and avoid sea turtles in the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean. Accidental boat strikes threaten

protected sea turtles. The use of polarized lenses can help reduce glare off the water surface en-abling boat captains to spot sea turtles. The goal of this slogan is to increase awareness of the benefits of polarized lenses to conserve sea turtles. The winner of this contest will receive a pair of polarized sunglasses. Entries must be post marked by Satur-day, Jan. 18. Three species of sea turtles

can be found in the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean off the coast of St. Lucie County’s beach-es. All are listed on the Federal Endangered Species List. These

protected sea turtles include endangered green and leather-back sea turtles. Loggerhead sea turtles are listed as threatened on the Federal Endangered Species List. Juvenile loggerhead and green turtles use near shore At-lantic reefs and the Indian River Lagoon as developmental habitat throughout the year. Sea turtles are in our waters year-round; they occur in the Indian River Lagoon as well as the Atlantic Ocean; and they are hit by boats on a regular basis. The best slogans are those that

are short, memorable and can draw attention to the issue. An educational message would be encouraged. The new slogan will be used for not-for-profit educa-tional outreach efforts. To submit a slogan, please send

your entry form to Ken Gioeli, UF/IFAS St. Lucie County Co-operative Extension, 8400 Picos Road, Suite 101, Fort Pierce, FL 34945. The entry form can be found on the Extension office website at http://stlucie.ifas.ufl.edu.
