Coast Guard expands vessel checks to Palm City

PALM CITY — Most people are acutely aware of the condition of both the auto and the driver before getting in to travel down a highway. The same precautions should be taken by boaters, says Tim Mullen, manager of the Me-ridian Marina and Yacht Club in Palm City. “Can you imagine being in a

car, sitting as a passenger with someone who didn’t know what they were doing when they were driving?” Mullen asked. “It’s frightening because people say ‘I own a boat.’ But the truth is that anyone with a checkbook can own a boat.” It doesn’t take a checkbook

to get safety certification by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. It does take a knowledgeable skipper and a safe boat. That’s what members of Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotil-la 59 were aiming for when they provided free vessel safety checks at the Meridian Marina all last weekend.

Certified Flotilla 59 examiners went through a variety of poten-tial problems in examining 35 vessels that were inspected over the weekend of vessels at the marina on Southwest Chapman Way. “We look for the presence and

condition of equipment that is required by state and federal regulations,” said Hank Cushard, Public Affairs officer for Flotilla 59. “We’re checking that your fire

extinguishers are not expired and that you have the correct number; that you have the right amount of life jackets; that your flares aren’t expired; that your lights work; that you know how to call mayday. There’s a whole list.” It’s a service that Flotilla 59

performs regularly around the Treasure Coast. Those who passed this weekend’s examina-tion were given a free flare kit (a $59 retail value) from Meridian, plus a Coast Guard certification sticker. That sticker comes in handy

when the Coast Guard is con-ducting at-sea inspections, Cushard said. “They may stop you for some-

thing else, but they won’t pull you over for a safety violation if you have that sticker on your boat,” he said. “And then of course, you have the awareness that your boat has all the safety equipment that’s needed.” Meridian Marina held its first

safety check last year and Mul-len intends to make it an annual affair. “This is personal for me,”

Mullen said. “Having grown up around the water, I have basically no fear of it, but not everybody feels that way. What we want to promote is the security and safety of the boat and all of its equip-ment.” And that in turn gives boat-

ers greater peace of mind when they set out to drive down that big blue highway known as the Atlantic Ocean. For a list of upcoming Coast

Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 59 vessel safety checks, visit cgaux59.org.

the Bill of Rights for next season – another legal storm is brewing just beyond the steps of a local federal courthouse.Litigation, filed in Fort Pierce fed-

eral court Feb. 3, aims to resurrect the controversial District 18 race between Republican Allen West and his Democratic predecessor Rep. Patrick Murphy.Houston, TX-based nonpartisan,

nonprofit organization, True the Vote is demanding St. Lucie Coun-ty Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker turn over all records re-garding the hotly contested con-gressional race. The organization’s website, www.truethevote.org says the group is focused on preserving election integrity and is run by cit-izens to motivate volunteers to be involved at every stage of the elec-toral process.The group’s Boca Raton-based

attorney Michael A. Barnett said repeated requests for the records were denied by Walker. The re-cords include poll books, voter lists and felon files, Barnett said.“My client wants immediate ac-

cess to perform a public inspection and exam of all election records and material relating to the con-gressional election between Allen West and Patrick Murphy,” Barnett said. According to court documents,

the group is asking the records be released under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which al-

lows for greater access to voter reg-istration for citizens who need fur-ther assistance registering to vote. The lawsuit also cites US Code, Section 1974B, which states that election officials must preserve race documents for a period of at least 22 months and make the pa-pers available for inspection.Barnett said filing the lawsuit was

a last resort. A trial date has not been set yet, he said.“This was the last option available

to us because Gertrude Walker refused to grant an in-person in-spection as allowed by federal law,” Barnett said. “This is not about the overturning of election results. It’s about exercising and enforcing my client’s right to the inspection of the records.”Walker declined comment on the

suit.“I spoke with my attorney and

in this case, she would prefer me not to comment at this time,” said Walker, who said she might use the county’s designated attorney or retain her personal attorney, Cyn-thia Angelos.The lawsuit comes on the heels

of the January release of recom-mendations by the state Division of Elections, which audited Walker’s office during November recounts.The state encouraged Walker to

establish a method of checks and balances of multi-card ballots to ensure an accurate count, estab-lish a contingency plan in the event

of a technical error and upload early voting data into the election management system software before Elec-tion Day.Walker said she plans to follow each recommenda-

tion.“It was just very crowded that night (Election Day)

and it was just a very stressful situation,” said Walker, who blames memory card malfunctions and human error for the mishap. “I want voters to understand their rights are always very important to me.”In a letter to Florida Secretary of State Kenneth W.

Detzner, post-dated Feb. 5, Walker writes the same mistakes won’t ever be repeated.“Every election provides an opportunity to learn, re-

assess and improve the voting process for our citizens and the November 6, 2012 General Election was no exception ...,” Walker wrote. “The uploading of early voting results into the election management system before Election Day is a concern because of the se-vere consequences of accidental untimely release of results; nevertheless I have included this procedure in my plan.”

What went wrong? True the Votes timeline chronicled in the lawsuit

On Nov. 6, St. Lucie County election administrators admitted that ballot tabulation machines suffered a malfunction, preventing early vote totals from be-ing properly counted. County workers were forced to hand-feed ballots into tabulation machines as a re-sult.On Nov. 8, West demanded a full recount of early

votes and copies of poll sign-in records to compare voter participation against ballots cast. West’s re-quests were denied and ignored, respectively.On Nov. 9, West demanded that a Florida state court

impound all ballots and voting machines, but made

no claims of the sort True the Vote makes today in feder-al court. West’s requests in state court were denied.On Nov. 10, St. Lucie County

“unofficially certified” the vote count for Congressional Dis-trict 18 and publicly acknowl-edged “uncertainty” over the early vote totals. St. Lucie County called an emergency meeting to “recount all ballots cast during early voting.” The county later reversed itself, only performing a partial re-tabulation. After the partial retabulation, the lead for Pat-rick Murphy decreased.On Nov. 13, Gertrude Walk-

er held a press conference admitting that her staff acted with “haste” and that “mis-takes were made” through-out the tabulation and par-tial recount process. Florida Division of Elections audi-tors were dispatched to in-vestigate how 799 votes disappeared or changed hands during the partial recount. On Nov. 16, Walk-er claimed to find 306 early votes in a box at her of-fice that had not been counted. The St. Lucie County Canvassing Board ordered a recount of all early votes, with a deadline set for noon on Nov. 18.On Nov. 17, the full recount operation was relocated

to a privately owned property. County workers were evicted from the premises late at night, suspending the recount until the next morning.On Nov. 18, county workers failed to meet the dead-

line, instead certifying the original Nov. 10 tabulation, which officials claimed “uncertainty” over the accura-cy of the results.

approved a plan to switch the public library system’s Home-work Helpers program from six part-time paid workers to all volunteers. Library staff recom-mended the change. “We’ll have one Homework

Helper program coordinator to oversee volunteers,” Jennifer Salas, youth services manager, said in an interview after the meeting. “We felt we could ex-pand the program if we went to volunteers. We’ll be recruiting some local retired educators, and possibly some college students majoring in education.” The volunteer-coordinator

position will be advertised on the county’s website, martin.fl.us, and filled through a hir-ing service, CareersUSA. The foundation gave the library system a $27,000 grant to hire the coordinator. Salas said that the position will be fulltime at $12 an hour for the first year, and part-time, 20 hours a week, thereafter. The foundation will give about $20,000 to fund the coordinator position starting next year. The library system and foundation hope to attract about 15 to 20 regular volunteers. “We are expecting by the end

of March to have hired the coor-dinator and start to recruit the volunteers,” Salas said. The foundation started the

tutoring and mentoring program in 1999 with a $75,000 grant donated by the Reynolds family of Hobe Sound named the Clare Reynolds Joyce fund. In recent years the foundation has funded

the six part-time positions with about $60,000 a year. Salas said students use

Homework Helpers about 4,000 times a year. Some students use it regularly, others occasionally. The program helps not only with tutoring, but has helped students with filling out college applica-tions, preparing for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test and crafting science-fair projects, among other things. She said many students have formed rela-tionships with the adults, too. “We have had Homework

Helpers be role models for the kids out there,” she said. The county’s six libraries have

about 400 volunteers among them. “We use them in different

ways,” Salas said. “They shelve materials, and help with chil-dren’s programs.” Horstman said the Martin

County Library System has a long and rich history of volun-teerism. “The libraries were started by

the Woman’s Club in 1918,” she said. By the 1940s, the club led

fundraising efforts to expand the library. “The citizens went out and

raised enough money to build a building and fill it with books,” she said. They turned operations over to

the county in 1950. To learn more about the foun-

dation, visit its website, library-foundationmc.org. To volunteer for Homework Helpers, or any other positions, call Terry Dick at (772) 219-4906.

Pope Benedict XVI startled Catholics in Martin County, and the world, by announcing his intention to retire at the end of February. He’ll be the first pope in about

six centuries to retire from the office. The last was Gregory XII, in 1415. “I think it was a big shock to

me,” Janice Maniscalco, director of religious education at Holy Re-deemer Catholic Church of Palm City, said. “I can understand it. He’s an older gentleman.” Dianne Laubert, director of

communications at the Diocese of Palm Beach, said about 34,000 Catholics are registered among six parishes in Martin County. Some Martin Catholics may be registered at parishes outside the county, and others not reg-istered anywhere. Martin has about 146,000 people, so at least about 24 percent are Catholic. City-data.com reports that nearly 60 percent of Martin’s religiously affiliated are Catholic. The coun-ty also has two Catholic schools, according to Laubert. Maniscalco, 60, said she re-

members five popes and has fond memories of Benedict’s predeces-

sor, Pope John Paul II. “I do remember, even as a young

person living in Chicago, when John Paul came to the United States,” she said. “The whole city was onto that. We lined the streets. We were young and here was our pope. Prior to that, popes never really traveled.” Laubert said despite his age,

85, Benedict has, like his prede-cessor, also revolutionized the church’s spreading of Gospel since he became pope in 2005. While jets were John Paul’s tool

Outgoing librarymanager: Books notgoing away, just in different format

Tony Florio has closed a chap-ter of his life as manager of the Cummings Library in Palm City. But the book remains unfin-ished. Florio, 35, who attended Mar-

tin County High School and lives in Palm City, ended his tenure as director of the branch on Feb. 8, but he is continuing his Martin County career as chief trouble-shooter for Information Technol-

ogy Services. “I’m going to be on the front

line for customer service for all of the county departments,” Florio said. Florio has worked in the Mar-

tin County Library system since 2001 and has been at Cummings since 2009. He said he has been amazed at the transformation of county libraries in that short time. “The biggest change is that with

the advent of technology — the digital age,” he said. “It’s be-come such an important part of what we do on a daily basis. Our customers come to us for ad-vice on how to use their devic-es, their tablets, their e-readers, their smart phones. So it’s more than ‘help me find this book’ or ‘help me research this subject.’ It’s really ‘show me how to read books and get access to books on these digital devices.’ ” Florio said the change has

come gradually, but steadily. “I really see libraries becom-

ing more of a community cen-ter, people of all ages, coming together, using the library as a space to meet, to collaborate, to get entertainment, to get educa-tion. It’s happening now.” And though they are rapidly

transforming, libraries will not be going the way of the livery stable, Florio said. “Never. Libraries are not going

away. The traditional sense of older folks going around saying ‘SHHHH!’ — we won’t see that. There might be more noise, more activity.” Electronic books are ascen-

dant and Martin County is paying attention, buying fewer hard-copy titles. “The e-book is the trend of the

future,” Florio said. “Right now

we’re build-ing our col-lection. We have sever-al thousand e-books and a few years from now it’s going to be 10,000 or 20,000.” Library ex-

penditures are one ben-

eficiary of this development. E-books are much less expen-sive than their paper counter-parts. So in a time when most public services costs are going up, library expenditures are flat. “The budget: has actually

held steady for the last year of two, so that’s a good thing for us,” he said. And Florio thinks that mov-

ing on to a new county gig is a good thing for him, even though it means leaving friends and colleagues at the Palm City branch. “The library has given me the

opportunity to really hone my customer service and technolo-gy skills. I’ve really grown in the past 12 years. Martin County is a wonderful organization, so if I could spend another 12 years with this county, I would be a happy camper.”

of choice, the Internet is Benedict’s. “The pope Twitters,” Laubert said.

“He has encouraged those through-out the church to use social media and unite our generations as well.” Last Sunday, shortly before his

historic announcement, the pope tweeted, “We must trust in the mighty power of God’s mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace trans-forms us and makes us new.”That message has been retweeted

about 14,600 times. The local diocese covers Martin,

St. Lucie, Palm Beach, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito issued a state-ment regarding the Pope’s retire-ment. “It was a privilege for me to have

met him on his visit to our coun-try in the spring of 2008 as well as most recently in May of 2012 on the Ad Limina visit to Rome,” the bishop said in the statement. “His holiness, gentleness and humility were evident and made me feel im-mediately at ease with him.” Laubert said that despite the

surprise, many in the Palm Beach diocese are confident in the pope’s decision to retire. Maniscalco said she’s among them. “I know when the College of Cardi-

nals convene, I see the Holy Spirit as the guiding hand there,” she said. “For me, the best person will be chosen (to replace Benedict).”

Mini-camp set to runBy Shelley KoppelStaff writer

When Special Warfare Operator Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Vaughn, a member of the elite SEAL Team 6, was killed in Afghanistan in 2011, he left behind son Rea-gan, in photo at left, with his father, and daughter Chamberlyn. Vaughn’s family has started a foundation to raise money for a camp for the children of service members killed while in service.

MARTIN COUNTY — Ten boys, ages 9-14, will have the chance to attend a weekend mini-camp from April 12-14, sponsored by the nonprofit foundation, Operation 300. To qualify, boys must be the sons of service members who have died while in service. The organization was formed

to honor the memory of Special Warfare Operator Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Vaughn, a member of the elite SEAL Team 6. He was killed in 2011 when the helicopter in which he and 37 others were riding was shot down over Afghan-istan. Forty-four children were left fatherless. The mini-camp will be held at

Angel Fire Ranch, a 400-acre property in Martin County that is owned by the Angel Fire Founda-tion. The organization sponsors outdoor activities for disabled vet-erans. Angel Fire is letting Opera-tion 300 use the site at no charge. For Tara Vaughn Baldwin, Aar-

on Vaughn’s sister, this is the first

step in a plan to offer week-long camps throughout the summer for boys, and eventually girls, as well. “This is our pilot camp,” she

said. “We’ll see what works.” Prospective campers and par-

ents can go to the Operation 300 website and click on the tab ‘At-tend Camp’” to apply. The camper, a parent and siblings will receive transportation to the camp as well as free lodging. “We’re looking for boys 9-14

because we want them to be able to do activities together,” Baldwin said. “Everything will be at no cost to the kids and moms. We hope to have most (of them) from Florida, to keep travel expenses lower. If they drive, they should bring gas receipts. We don’t want them to worry about anything, down to the gas it takes to get there.” The camp will meet at the

beach. Surf Central will provide two hours of surfing lessons, pad-dle boarding and other activities. Then the boys will go to the ranch.

STUART — The second annu-al Stuart Sailfish Regatta will be making waves off of the Stuart Causeway April 19, 20 and 21. Get ready for an exciting weekend with hydroplanes, race boats and powerboats competing for prize money and bragging rights. Organizers are planning a week-

end of speed, excitement and community involvement. With increased attendance and spon-sorship support, SSR plans to increase their support to the des-ignated charities, Children’s Mu-seum of the Treasure Coast, US Sailing Center and the Maritime and Classic Boat Museum. The races will once again be held on the Stuart Causeway on a 1.1-mile oval racecourse on the north-ern side of the bridge. After last year’s test run, the Re-

gatta Board of Directors is happy to announce that they will close the Stuart Causeway with the ap-proval of Sewalls Point town offi-cials and all other related agen-cies. The new expanded site will

allow for more vendors and activ-ities, including live music, a biki-ni contest and the best spectator viewing area on top of the bridge. Visitors can expect a new and im-proved layout overall and addi-tional food, beverage and custom-er services. The race is sanctioned by the

American Power Boat Association. The regatta will be open to 10 classes of inboards, four classes of outboards and new this year, the Powerboat P1 SuperStock Se-ries. Some of the nation’s top tier racers plus a power team of six or more Canadian Grand Prix race boats will bring even more fuel and adrenaline pumping action to the water. “We encourage everyone to vis-

it our website at www.stuartsail-fishregatta.org and our Facebook page for more about race protocol, sponsorships, vendor opportuni-ties, participating race boats and drivers,” said Lindsay Nickerson, event coordinator. Hutchinson Is-land Marriott Beach Resort and Marina is the official race resort and will be the main hub of activ-

ity in the days leading up to and during the race. The website lists all area accommodations, many of which will be offering special race promotions and packages. Tickets will be on sale beginning

Feb. 8 online. The advance ticket price is $10 until April 5. Begin-ning April 6, tickets will also be available at all branches of Sea-coast from Palm Beach to Vero Beach for $12 with other outlets to be confirmed. Weekend gate entrance is $15 per person each day and children 10 and under are free. Military personnel with a military ID pay just $10. VIP tickets are limited and will

be available for Saturday and Sunday for $50 per day or $75 for a two-day pass that will include premium seating, access to the pits, lunch, snacks, cold beverag-es, and full bar. The Friday night party, Pit Stop Regatta Rally, will be held under the Stuart Cause-way from 6:30 p.m. — 10pm with great Italian food and pizza from Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza. Stu-

They will be housed in motor homes that are on loan. Baldwin said that more mobile homes or campers are needed. Baldwin is still working on

meal arrangements. Food will be brought in, and a donor has of-fered a hotdog and hamburger grill. Again, Baldwin welcomes do-nations of food by local business-es for any of the weekend meals. Friday night, Pastor Tom Mul-

lins of Christ Fellowship Church will speak. “He’s a great storyteller,” Bald-

win said. “He’ll tell an historical story about bravery and courage with a spiritual emphasis.” Saturday will be packed with

activities and moms and younger siblings are welcome to join in. “In the morning, there will be

sailing at the US Sailing Center in Jensen Beach,” Baldwin said. “After, we’ll have a trail ride for half the boys while the others get instruction in tacking and groom-ing. Then they’ll switch. The lo-cal equestrian community has loaned the horses and they are all trail-certified.” The afternoon features archery

instruction with youth-size bows. Riflery will also be available. There will be downtime, when campers can rest, ride kid-sized ATVs or throw around a football. After dinner, they’ll be more time to relax. The day will end with a

campfire. On Sunday the group will go to

Christ Fellowship Church, which meets at South Fork High School, down the road from the camp. Af-ter church, the kids will receive instruction in the use of compass-es to find directions. “Then there will be a team

scavenger hunt,” Baldwin said. After lunch, there will an archery competition to use the skills they learned. There will be a dismissal ceremony, and kids can hang out for awhile.” Baldwin hopes to have a week-

long camp running this summer. That is a much larger undertaking and requires a lot more money. Donations of cash are welcome, as are donations of equipment. For this camp, much of it is on loan. Baldwin would like the camp to have its own equipment so that they are not as dependent on do-nations each time. Baldwin said that she is praying

for good weather, but if it rains, they’ll move activities indoors and go bowling or play games. The goal is for boys and mentors to bond and form relationships that can last past the camp. In a Dec. 21, 2012 story about

Operation 300, Baldwin expressed the hope that lasting relationships would form. “I envision, in my heart, that

someday, a mentor would go to the boy’s hometown and watch him play football,” she said.

MARTIN COUNTY — A service that began more than 20 years ago in Martin County will continue, thanks to the efforts of the Veter-ans Council of Martin County, the Martin County Board of Coun-ty Commissioners and Disabled American Veterans Transportation Network. The Martin County Veteran’s Ser-

vice Office recently took posses-sion of a new 12-passenger van to transport veterans from Stuart to their appointments at the VA Med-ical Center, West Palm Beach. Before being pressed into service,

the van decorated in patriotic col-ors with a massive flag logo and will also display major donors for the purchase of the van displayed on the doors. “This is our third van purchase,”

said Bruce Millett, chairman of the Veterans Council of Martin Coun-ty. Cost has risen but not drasti-

cally. The price has raised about $2,000 per year to the current price of $25,000. The van has all seats filled each weekday run. More than 1,700 veterans are transported each year. We’ve had this service available for so long, it is hard to remember what it was like when we didn’t have it. I hope that day never comes, said Commissioner John Haddox, formerly the Veter-ans Service Office supervisor. The vans, although purchased

through the DAV, are signed over to the VA. The VA then provides insurance and all maintenance on the van. The life of the van is ex-pected to last for about 100,000 miles or seven years. The vans are then returned by the VA to the Veterans Council to be donated or used to raise funds. The most recent to reach the end of its ser-vice was donated to the VFW Post 10132, Hobe Sound, for transport-ing of their Honor Guard to various events throughout Martin County.

FINANCIAL FOCUSCan Investors Learn from Yoga Followers?

Article 1— Feb. 18, 2013It’s probably not on your calendar, but World Yoga Day takes place on Feb. 24. As more people have discovered its healthful benefits, yoga has grown in popularity. But whether or not you practice yoga, you can apply its lessons to other areas of your life — such as investing.Specifically, consider the following yoga-related themes and how they might translate into investment habits that may be beneficial:

• Balance — If you observe advanced yoga practitioners, you will be amazed at the balance they exhibit during certain positions. But for serious yoga students, the idea of “balance” goes beyond physical movements and extends to a concept of life that emphasizes, among other things, an avoidance of extremes. As an investor, you too need to avoid extremes, such as investing too aggressively, too conservatively or too sporadically. By building a balanced portfolio, and by investing regularly, you can help improve your chances of making progress toward your financial goals.

• Flexibility — Among its many benefits, yoga helps people increase their flexibility — and greater flexibility results in fewer injuries and an increased capacity to enjoy many physical activities. As an investor, you need to be flexible enough to adjust your portfolio as needed while still following a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your individual goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

• Relaxation — For yoga students, proper relaxation is essential to achieving mental equanimity, emotional balance and inner strength. But relaxation doesn’t always come easily — even experienced yoga practitioners need to work at it. As an investor, you also may need to train yourself to relax because, given the ups and downs of the market, it’s not hard to become overwrought and make ill-advised decisions based on short-term events. Staying calm and maintaining a long-term view of things may help you make better investment decisions.

• Positive thinking — Our own thoughts and actions are largely responsible for creating our happiness and success, according to yoga teachings. And positive thinking can play a key role in investing, too. For example, if you were to constantly look at negative headlines, you might conclude that it is pointless to invest for the future because external events — economic instability abroad, political squabbles at home, natural disasters and so on — will just disrupt your plans. Consequently, you might decide not to invest, or invest in such a way that can make progress toward your financial goals difficult. But if you maintain a positive attitude, you may be more inclined to invest wisely for your future.

• Visualization — In yoga, visualization is often used to reduce stress. At any given time, you might find it difficult to relax, but you can use your imagination to see your-self — and put yourself — in a relaxed state. As an investor, you need to visualize your goals, such as a comfortable retirement, before you can define a strategy to help you work toward them. By seeing yourself where you want to be, you’ll be motivated to take the actions necessary to work toward getting there. Try putting the principles of yoga to work — they may help you become a better investor.

When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the

saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple

accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your

investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least,

multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one

statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

Having More Retirement Accounts Is Not The Same As Having More Money.

To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local financial advisor today.


*Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Very effective for short shots around the greens or downwind holes. The first adjustment to make is to be sure the ball is positioned more forward in your stance than normal (more to your for-ward foot). As I said earlier if you want to keep the ball low you swing the club low both ways. Now we are going to do the opposite, swing club higher on the back

swing. Higher on the follow thru. This should produce a much higher ball flight than normal. Your speed of the swing should be the same as your normal pace.

Good luck with both, high and low shots.

Classic musical a family delight

Photo courtesy of Kinfay MorotiTevye the Milkman and his wife, Golde share a private moment in the national touring company’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” The popular Harnick and Bock musical comes to the Lyric Theatre on Feb. 26-27.

STUART – When my grand-mother saw “Fiddler on the Roof” on Broadway, she said that she’d lived the story. The tale of a Jewish family in a small village in Tsarist Russia was the story of her life. “Fiddler” is a story about life in

a small village, but it is so much more than that. It is a story about hope and love and faith, about family and humor and yes, about marrying off five daughters. Based on “Tevye and his

Daughters,” by Sholom Aleichem,

the show is filled with Harnick and Bock songs like “Tradition,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man” and “L’Chaim: To Life.” It won nine Tony awards and ran for 10 years on Broadway. It is one of the most beloved of the Broadway classics. The national touring company

of “Fiddler on the Roof” comes to the Lyric Theater on Feb. 26 and 27. Jeannie Hollander, who plays Golde, the long-suffering wife of Tevye, the milkman and mother of those five daughters, spoke recently about appearing as the matriarch in such a beloved show.

“I love Golde,” she said. “She’s strong, she’s funny, she’s de-manding, she’s vulnerable, she is the ultimate mother. Golde wears the pants in the family. She’s tough and sweet. Her heart breaks and aches but she pushes on. I raised two wonderful chil-dren and have a grandson. The whole mother thing is built into my life. That’s why I’m enjoying it.” As befits the cast’s matriarch,

she has high praise for her col-leagues. “We have an amazing cast,”

she said. “We’re good to one an-other and look after one another. It’s very much a family. I’m very proud of them all. I call them ‘my kids.’” Hollander said that the play is

for people of all ages and reli-gions. “My 7-year-old grandson has

been going to the theater since he was 6 months old,” she said. “He loves ‘Fiddler.’ He’s seen it five times. I think he loves the mu-sic, that (the show) is funny and hopeful. He loves the Russian dancing they do during ‘L’Chaim.’ He gets the sadness of it and that even though people move out, they are still family. It’s human. It’s all of us. It’s joyous. That’s why it stands.” Hollander, who spent many

years in New York City doing tele-vision work, retired to Fort Myers and found herself back on stage, a place she hadn’t been since college. Now, she’s on a national tour, rarely staying in one city more than a night. “We’ve done the first leg of the

tour,” she said. “We’ve been to Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-gia. We had standing ovations everywhere. By the end of April, we’ll have done 72 cities.”“Fiddler on the Roof” comes to

the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, on Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. and on Feb. 27 at 4 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $ 45. Call the box office at (772)

Operation 300 is a nonprof-it foundation designed to create a week-long experience for children who have lost their fathers as a result of service to our country, founded in memory of local fallen hero, Elite Navy SEAL Aaron Car-son Vaughn. The Joe Lusk Memo-rial Foundation was established to bridge the gap between the fi-nancial support the government can provide our wounded veterans and the reality of their needs.Contenders in the Inaugural

Moustachio Bashio are invited to a kick-off party on Feb. 28 from 5:30-7 p.m. at Carson’s Tavern, where they’ll receive a free drink on Carson, sign up for the compe-tition, and learn more about the greatest moustache bash of the

year! The Great Moustachio Bashio

takes place March 29 from 6-10 p.m. at Pirate’s Loft. All through-out the month of March, con-tenders will be growing a ‘stache in remembrance of all the fallen soldiers that put their lives on the line for our freedom. On the 29th, the public is asked to bring their friends and their ‘stache to the best bash of the year. Local celebrity judges, include WPTV’s Mollie Reynolds and Kait Parker, will be judging the best of the best in several moustache-growing cat-egories. Tickets are on sale now for $50

per individual, $90 per couple and $40 for participants and veterans online at MoustacheMarchforthe-Military.com. Call (772) 284-3007 for more information.

Now, you have more options. Implant-retained dentures are permanent, and they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You can smile and eat without fear of slippage. You can go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning with your teeth in place.

Dr. Sohl is on the forefront of implant placement. He has a dental CAT scan unit on premises for computer guided implant placement protocols for Nobel Biocares All-on Four/Teeth in a DayTM procedures. All-on-Four/Teeth in a DayTM was developed to minimize the number of implants required to anchor a complete set of dentures. A full arch can be replaced with four implants in a single visit, as opposed to as many as eight implants and multiple office visits.
