PALM CITY — The town had a lot to say. About 150 showed up to the Palm City Chamber of Commerce’s premier town hall meeting on Wednesday, March 12. On many folks’ minds was the proposed Palm City Costco. “Why don’t you tell them ‘No’

and save a lot of trouble,” an audience member shouted to panelist John Haddox, Martin

County Commissioner. Many applauded. Haddox said that’s his inten-

tion. “Costco doesn’t belong there,”

he said.The audience applauded again. Fort Lauderdale’s Thomas

Mapp Road tobe resurfaced

PALM CITY — Long awaited resurfacing on Mapp Road gets under way this summer. But only on one end. The resurfac-ing will start on the 2.8 miles of Mapp Road from Martin High-way southward to its end.

“It’s one massive crack seal,” Martin County Commissioner John Haddox, Palm City, said. “There’s some real bad depres-sions there in a few spots.”The crack seal gives the road

an uneven, disorganized spi-der-web look. Numerous resi-dents along that stretch of Mapp

Martin Commish hears sales tax success story

MARTIN COUNTY — Jason Brown, Indian River County’s director of management and budget, talked up the benefits of local-option sales taxes at the last regular meeting of the Martin County Commission, Tuesday, March 18. “We’ve been able to avoid bor-

rowing,” he told Martin commis-sioners.Additionally, Brown said that

Indian River has the lowest prop-erty-taxes in the state, and he attributed that to an additional half-cent sales tax shoppers pay. Since last year the Martin com-

mission has bandied the idea of putting a local sales tax to refer-endum for voters to consider. It’s aimed to help the county close the gap on an about $225 million maintenance backlog. Henry Copeland, Jensen Beach,

offered the commission another take on Indian River’s additional sales tax. “I go (to Indian River County)

twice a month and go out of my way not to spend there,” he told the commission. Brown said that Indian River

voters approved the additional sales tax for 15 years in 1989, and again in 2002. “We’ve received just under $100

million,” he said at the meeting. According to county staff, a

1-cent local sales tax could raise about $20 million a year

in Martin. A half cent about $10 million. The sales tax would go to $5,000 of any purchase. After that, consumers would continue to pay Martin’s current sales tax, 6 cents for every $1. The earliest any local sales-tax

option could start is in January of 2015. The commission had an opportunity to hold a special election last year. If voters had approved a proposed sales tax in 2013, folks would have started paying it in January. The com-mission nixed the plan in August, but revived local-option sales tax talk in December. Options the commission has

discussed range from an addi-tional half-cent for three years to a full cent for 10. Commissioner Ed Fielding, Stuart, moved at the last meeting for putting to voters a 1-cent sales tax for three years. Chairwoman Sarah Heard, Port Salerno, objected. “I don’t think we’re ready,” she

said. “It needs to come back again.” Commissioners Anne Scott,

Hobe Sound, and John Haddox, Palm City, agreed. Fielding with-drew the motion. “I think we’re heading to some

consensus at least that we’re going to have a sales-tax referen-dum,” Haddox said. Commissioners Heard, Scott

and Fielding, want ballot lan-guage that strictly restricts what the funds raised by the proposed sales tax could pay for — they

with the feedback we’ve already received about our inaugural Singing with the Stars event. The cast sang their hearts out for the benefit of two community causes

and we were also able to show-case two students, Tim Nicholas and Ryan Cox, from our youth network, who played violin and saxophone to some of the song selections,” said Terry Barber, founder and executive director of Artists for a Cause. Although not part of the compe-

tition, Barber, who is an interna-tionally renowned countertenor teamed up with Stacy Ranieri, president and chief illuminator of the local public relations firm The Firefly Group, to warm up the

crowd with a soulful version of “Feeling Good.” Barber and Ra-nieri created the first-time event and served as the emcees for the evening. An esteemed judging panel,

including Morgan Howell Rumble, Jennifer Jones, Craig Wich and Steve Erlanger, played a role in judging the duos based on their talent, but were not the sole fac-tor in selecting the winner. The audience also participated in the decision making process when they were encouraged to vote with

their wallets during intermission and contribute money into the donation box of the singer who they were supporting. Ultimately the winner was determined by a combination of talent, ticket sales and monetary donations. Proceeds from the event benefit-

a 150,000-square-foot, ware-house-style store with more than 650 parking spaces on the 28-acre site, nestled between Martin Highway, High Meadow Avenue and the Ronald Reagan Turnpike. At press time, Costco hasn’t filed an application to develop any-thing on the property. If it does, it’ll go through extensive reviews with public comment times. The Martin County Commission will have to approve it. Haddox said he opposed Cost-

co building on that site, but, he added, Martin County needs to work with the membership retail-er to find a plan B. He said many in Palm City shop at the Costco in Palm Beach Gardens, which

harms the local economy. “Those dollars are leaving Martin

County,” Haddox said. “But that’s not an ideal site here in Palm City.” In an interview after the meet-

ing, Haddox said Costco might fit in Palm City — on or near the Martin Enterprise Park, about 500 acres on Citrus Boulevard between the Ronald Reagan Turnpike and Boatramp Avenue. “I know there are other proper-

ties (for Costco),” Haddox said. “I don’t think (High Meadow) is the proper location.” Other issues on meeting attend-

ees’ minds were the proposed All Aboard Florida passenger train, four-laning Martin Highway and planned improvements on Mapp Road. In short, the meeting was all

were unified in opposing the pro-posed All Aboard Florida. Florida East Coast Industries, which owns rail lines running through Stuart, is proposing the 235-mile, privately-owned passenger train service from Miami to Orlando International Airport that’ll have stops in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. In other words, no stops in Mar-

tin. And it’s not like the proposed extra 32 trains will quietly make their ways through the county every day if the company’s plans are realized. The rail tracks they’ll use cross a bridge over the St. Lucie River, and freight trains will continue to cross them, too. Boats will be unable to cross under the train bridge nestled between Northwest Dixie and Federal highways when the trains are crossing it. That has many in the marine industry predicting devastation to the local economy. “That train is a nightmare for

Martin County,” Haddox said. Meeting attendees agreed on the

need to add two lanes to Martin Highway, which is slated to start later this year. There were divi-sions about implementing the Mapp Road Town Center Design. “I moved here because it’s Old

Palm City, not West Palm Beach,” Jim Meehan Jr. said at the meet-ing. “Put the money somewhere else.” Mapp Road Town Center De-

sign is the name for a decade-old Community Redevelopment Area plan to revitalize Old Palm City. The design has evolved over time, but much of the current vision is for a divided service road along-side Mapp with on-street parking, landscaping, bicycle lanes and an 8-foot sidewalk that allows water to seep right through. The Old Palm City Neighborhood Advisory Committee unanimously agreed at its Feb. 17 meeting to recom-mend that the Martin County Commission acting as the Com-

munity Redevelopment Agency adopt the proposed design. If the Community Redevelop-

ment Agency approves the de-sign, initial work on Mapp would stretch from 28th Street to 29th

Terrace and start as early as 2015. It would cost about $1.7 million. The Old Palm City Com-munity Redevelopment Area has about $1.3 million available for projects. Mapp is the centerpiece of Palm City’s CRA, adopted in 2002, which includes 610 acres.In a CRA some county taxes paid

on property values higher than what they were in a base year — when the area was established — stay in that district for economic development and blight elimina-tion for a set period of time. Other audience members ex-

pressed concern that Palm City seemed unprepared for the opening of Veterans Memorial Bridge. Ron Barnett said that Martin Highway should have had four lanes and Mapp Road its improvements before the bridge opened in December. “It always seems we’re behind

the curve,” he said. Niki Norton, president of the

Palm City Chamber of Commerce, said the meeting was more popu-lar and educating than planners believed it’d be. “I thought it went well,” she said.

“I was happy and surprised.” There was a downside. “We kept having to put more

chairs out,” Norton said. Haddox, too, said he was pleased

with the meeting. “I was very impressed,” he said.

“I was very happy to see that turnout. I was pleased with the wide variety of excellent questions poised to the panel.” In addition to Haddox, School

Board member Michael DiTerlizzi spoke to and took questions from the audience. Also on the panel was Michele Miller representing

organized and made impassioned pleas to the commission about a year ago to get the resurfacing done. Terry Rauth, deputy county engineer, said there are no fans of crack sealing roads. “Everybody has been complain-

ing since we crack sealed it,” she said. “Nobody likes the look of it, but it saved (the road) until we could get it resurfaced.”Rauth said Mapp is one of five

resurfacing projects slated for this year. They’ll hardly make a dent in needed work. “We have 507 miles of paved

(county-maintained) roadways and over 260 currently need to be resurfaced,” Rauth said. But there’s only about $1 million

in the budget to resurface roads. About $280,000 of it will go to Mapp. “We have neighborhoods that

have gone over 30 years (without resurfacing),” Rauth said. The county is in a $225 million

maintenance hole. The commis-sion is considering putting a lo-cal-option sales tax, to help fund

maintenance, on the general elec-tion ballot this year. That could be anywhere from a half-cent ad-ditional sales tax for three years to a full cent for 10. Taryn Kry-zda, county administrator, told the county commission that a 1-cent local sales tax could raise about $20 million a year. A half cent about $10 million. The sales tax would go to $5,000 of any purchase. After that, consumers would continue to pay Martin’s current sales tax, 6 cents for every $1 spent. The earliest any local sales tax option could start now is in January of 2015.Kryzda also told the commis-

sion that every year the county is adding about $10 million to its maintenance backlog. Rauth said current funding levels will pay for less than 10 miles of resurfacing a year. Segments on the northern end of Mapp and Murphy roads will wait indefinitely for needed resurfacing. It costs about $100,000 a mile to

resurface a road. If a road dete-riorates past usability, it costs about $250,000 a mile to restore it.

keting and Event Coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Coun-ties, belted out a ballad with help from partner Karin Leone. Leone has been nominated for several awards for her work in New York and Los Angeles. In April she will be playing the lead role in The Lyric’s ALL-STAR production of Guys & Dolls in Concert. Moss and Leone earned a combined score of 38 with their rendition of “I Know Him So Well.” Linda Weiksnar, a family law

trail attorney with Crary Buchan-an, channeled her experience singing in church with assis-tance from her partner Jonathan Cummings. Cummings sang back-up for Barry Manilow and now performs at many local ven-ues, including The Lyric Theatre. Weiksnar and Cummings earned a combined score of 36 with their version of “Lucky.” While Bob Zaccheo, a licensed

psychotherapist and the execu-tive director of Project LIFT, had never performed in public, his talents were on display with part-

ner Debbie Bestor who is current-ly a lead singer of The Sunrise Party Band. Bestor toured for 17 years with her former band and has a professional theater background. Zaccheo and Bestor earned a combined score of 33 with their version of “When you Say Nothing at All.” Artists for a Cause is a Stu-

art-based, national, nonprofit or-ganization that helps visual and performing artists to use their talents for community improve-ment.

ST. LUCIE WEST — It’s been touted as a Godsend diet for people struggling with losing stubborn or life-threatening fat by world renowned television personality and heart surgeon Dr. Oz. The hCG diet, which uses a pregnancy hormone to nourish the body, is transforming lives and working miracles right here on the Treasure Coast at New Beginnings, a medical weight loss clinic in St. Lucie West. “It’s the hottest diet sweeping

the country and if you believe all the hype, it’s the long-awaited miracle cure for weight loss,” Oz said during one of many shows

he’s hosted on the diet. “Imagine losing 40 pounds in just 40 days. An astonishing one pound per day.” The acronym hCG stands for

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a natural hormone produced during a woman’s pregnancy to keep a fetus nourished. The diet, created by European doctor Al-bert T. W. Simeons decades ago, promises drastic results within a month’s time by using hCG com-bined with a diet of 500 calories a day. “Most people as soon as they

hear that, they go, ‘Well that’s crazy,’” said JoLynn Hansen, clin-ical director at New Beginnings. Hansen co-owns the facility with

her husband, Robert Hansen. “I said the same thing, because

500 calories is not enough to nourish your body,” Hansen said. Such a low calorie intake would

usually cause an individual’s me-tabolism to slow down to preserve calories, Hansen said, but hCG does just the opposite. “HCG pulls abnormal fat into

your blood stream. You are nourished not from the 500 cal-ories you’re eating, but from the abnormal fat that’s in your body,” Hansen said. Upon entering New Beginnings,

you’re greeted not only by a car-ing and compassionate staff, but a large display of before-and-after photographs from patients who have completed the weight loss program. The results are dra-matic. All have collectively shed hundreds of pounds and boast a healthier frame. “When people come into our

office, they usually have low-self esteem or just are not feeling good about themselves overall,” Hansen said. “My favorite thing is to see that progression in a very short time. They walk out a new person. And it’s true, they have a new beginning.” Hansen said hCG has also

changed her life. She’s dined with Oz, who praised the work of New Beginnings. “I have been a life-long yo-yo

dieter,” Hansen said. “I thought I had done everything. ... I was very skeptical.” Hansen took a gamble on the

diet five years ago. HCG, which is issued with a prescription from New Beginnings, is administered at home, each day with a small insulin syringe. For patients with

a phobia of needles, a pill that dissolves under the tongue is available, Hansen said. “I was not only able to lose

weight rapidly, but it was where I lost it that was different than be-fore,” Hansen said. “HCG targets abnormal fat. Abnormal fat is not lost by just going on a low-calorie diet.”

MARTIN COUNTY — In five months, voters head to the polls for the primary election. That round of voting on Aug. 26 could decide some local races before the general election, Nevertheless, the general election, Nov. 4, will have races and ballot measures that won’t appear in the primary. Plan on voting twice. Vicki Davis, Supervisor of Elec-

tions, said now’s the time for vot-ers to start educating themselves about candidates and ballot measures. It’s frustrating to skip a race or referendum because of a lack of information. For example — “The Children’s Services Coun-

cil (of Martin County) will be on ballot,” Davis said. That’s likely to be a little-known

local referendum. Back in 1988, Martin voters authorized a spe-cial property tax that funds the 10-member council, which makes grants to organizations fitting its mission criteria. Voters have to renew that funding every so often. Hard to vote without information about what the council has done and is doing. The council’s web site is www.cscmc.org. The Martin County Commission

might in coming months put another local referendum on the general-election ballot — a local sales tax. That sales tax, de-

pending on what the commission decides in coming months, could be half a cent for as few as three years, or a full cent for up to 10. Much of everything else on the

upcoming ballots will be familiar to voters, but there’s still going to be lots to learn about before cast-ing votes. Seats that’ll be up this year include the big enchilada — the Governor’s Mansion. At press time, 29 candidates have tossed their hats into the gubernatori-al-race ring, and there’s time for more to join in. The race is likely to come down

to two men. Gov. Rick Scott wants to keep his furniture in the Governor’s Mansion, but Charlie Crist aims to redecorate it again — as a Democrat this time around. Crist served as the state’s Republican governor from 2007 to 2011. In 2010, he made an unsuccessful run for the Sen-ate. The governor’s race promises to

get heated and pricey. In 2010, Scott spent more than $85 mil-lion to win the governor’s office. He reportedly tossed in about $73 million. Political pundits are thinking Scott could raise as much as $100 million for a re-election bid this year. Any Democrat who aims to topple him must raise close to the same. Another multi-million dollar race

Martin voters will help decide is the 18th congressional district,

want it kept strictly to repairing existing roads, bridges and water-drainage systems. “It’s not a tax and spend — it’s a tax and

mend and that needs to be clear,” Scott said. Haddox said it was better to leave the coun-

ty discretion to use the funds more broadly if there were opportunities to update infra-structure when repairing it, or to save by repairing other county properties. “Handcuffing (ourselves) and we increase

ad valorem — talk about looking foolish,” he said. “I think that’s the worst thing we can do.” Haddox supports asking voters to approve a

1-cent sales tax for five years.

currently held by Patrick Murphy. The Florida Division of Elections reports that eight Republicans have lined up to take a swing at knocking Democrat Murphy out of the seat. Qualifying for that seat ends on May 2. Joe Negron’s 32nd State Senate seat is up,

along with MaryLynn Magar’s 82nd Florida House seat. The state elections division lists both as active candidates with chal-lengers. More about those races is at www.election.dos.state.fl.us. Other state offices Martin will vote on are Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer, and Commissioner of Agriculture. Qualifying for the governor and other state seats ends on June 20. Qualifying for all non-judicial county seats

is also on June 20. Two county commission seats are up this

year: districts 2 and 4. Those seats are occupied by Ed Fielding, Stuart, and Sarah Heard, Port Salerno. Potential candidates need to know — all of Martin cast ballots in every county commission race. Palm City voters need to pay attention to those races, because they will help decide those seats. There’s an important rub. Those races can

be decided by less than 50 percent of the voters in one political party. “In the state of Florida, we don’t have a

runoff election,” Davis said. “If you have one party on the ticket, the seat goes to the top vote getter and it’s ended in the prima-

Elections are coming, time to announce candidacies

MARTIN COUNTY — Election time is coming. Vicki Davis, Supervisor of Elections, aims to make sure everyone who wants to run for open seats can. It takes more than supporters to run for office. There are a lot of election laws to comply with. The last scheduled candidate

training workshop to help poten-tial and announced candidates know what they’ll need to stay clean with elections laws will be on Wednesday, March 26. More may be scheduled later. “We discuss everything from

announcing as a candidate, to

qualifying as a candidate, and who you transmit your financial reports to,” Davis said. “We cover pretty much anything you can think about when you’re running, or thinking about running, as a candidate.”And there’s a bit of a door prize,

too. “They walk away with a nice,

thick notebook they can refer back to,” Davis said. The workshop is free. It’ll be

from 9 a.m. to noon at the elec-tions office, 135 S.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Stuart. Attendance isn’t required to run for office. Davis said potential candidates who can’t attend the

workshop will still be able to get help from her office. “We’ll sit down with them one-

on-one,” Davis saidThe primary election will be on

Aug. 26. The general election on Nov. 4. Non-judicial candidates must

qualify with the elections office between June 16 and 20. Those who can’t go to the elections of-fice during those days must have their information for qualification to the office within two weeks before June 16. Two county commission seats

are up this year: districts 2 and 4. Those seats are occupied by Ed Fielding, Stuart, and Sarah Heard, Port Salerno. Potential candidates need to know — all of Martin casts ballots in every county commission race. Palm City voters need to pay attention to those races, because they will help decide those seats. There’s an important rub. Those

races can be decided by less than 50 percent of the voters in one political party. “In the state of Florida, we don’t

have a runoff election,” Davis said. “If you have one party on the ticket, the seat goes to the top vote getter and it’s ended in the primary.” For example, if Ed Fielding gets

two fellow Republicans chal-lenging him in the primary, and there’s no candidate from another political party, then he could keep his District 2 seat with a single vote advantage among Republi-cans. Those registered something oth-

er than Republican will never get a vote in that race.“Florida is a closed primary

state, meaning you have to vote the party ballot you’re registered with,” Davis said. But voters have the option to

switch party affiliation up to 29 days before an election.“We do have voters who come in

and change their party affiliation just to vote in a primary race,” Davis said. That option is open for the pri-

mary until July 28. “They can change their party

back the next day,” Davis said. Changing party affiliation re-

quires a signature, so can’t be done over the phone. Voters can do party changes by written no-tice, such as by mail, but notic-es must contain voters’ dates of birth or voter registration num-bers. Fielding and Heard have an-

nounced candidacies to keep their seats. At press time, Heard doesn’t have any challengers the elections office is aware of. John Schierbaum is challenging Field-ing. Three non-partisan school board

seats are also up this year — dis-tricts 1, 3 and 4. Those seats are held by Michael Busha, Rebecca Negron, and Maura Barry-Soren-son. Christina Li Roberts and Loretta

Shekailo have thrown hats in for the District 1 seat. Buscha, who fills that seat, hasn’t announced a re-election bid for it. Negron and Barry-Sorenson have announced candidacies to keep their seats, 3 and 4 respectively. Negron has no challengers yet. Tina McSoley is challenging Barry-Sorenson.Davis has other tips for those

considering elected office. It’s bet-ter to start a candidacy early and back out than to wait to later and lose out. “If they’re thinking about run-

ning and want to qualify by petition, they need to think about announcing now, because quali-fying petitions are due by May 19 at noon for local seats,” she said. Candidates for the commission

or school board must garner slightly more than 1,000 signa-tures on petitions to qualify, or they must pay to qualify. Davis said voters can sign numerous qualifying petitions for competing candidates. Signing a petition doesn’t lock one into voting for a candidate. “All it’s doing is allowing that

candidate to have their name on the ballot without paying a fee,” Davis said. “The fee for the school board is $1,340.40. It’s $3,597.78 for the county commission.” To learn more about upcoming

elections, visit www.martinvotes.com, or call (772) 288-5637 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.

without a source to get any medi-cation. The ballot measure would also amend the Constitution to require the Florida Department of Health to register and regu-late businesses involved in the growing, transporting and selling of marijuana for medical use. If approved, the measure would also allow caregivers registered and regulated by the department to assist those with prescriptions to use marijuana. People United for Medical Mar-

ijuana advocated the proposed amendment. The Supreme Court weighed

in on the proposed ballot mea-sure after Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a challenge holding that the language is misleading. The court’s decision to let it move to voters wasn’t about whether medical marijuana is legally OK — simply that the ballot language was clear enough for voters to reasonably understand what they’re being asked to decide. The other ballot measure is

backed by Florida’s Water and Land Legacy. If passed by voters, it would add funding for state ac-quisitions of conservation lands. Early voting for the primary will

be from Aug. 16 to Aug. 23, from 8 a.m. to 5 pm., and include Sunday. There will only be two early-voting sites, including the elections office at 135 S.E. Mar-tin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Stuart. There will be no early-voting sites for the primary election in Palm City. Davis said that late arrivals

are welcomed during early voting, so don’t walk away if the doors are closed but workers are still present. “We want our voters voting,”

Davis said. “If they knock on our door, we let them in.” There’ll be seven early voting

sites for the general election open from Oct. 20 to Nov. 1, also including Sunday. The Peter & Julie Cummings Library is one. It’s at 2551 Matheson Ave., Palm City.Absentee ballots can be ordered

online at the election’s office web-site, www.martinvotes.com. Davis had a tip for those who’ve been voting for a long time in Martin County and use absentee ballots — handwriting naturally changes over time. “One thing we encourage voters

to do is update their signatures,” Davis said. If a signature on an absentee

ballot doesn’t match the one the office has on file, the ballot may be nixed. The elections office is open from

8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Many voter infor-mation changes can be done over the phone or website.Those with the iOS, Apple’s

iPhones and iPads, can get an app that allows them to access and change their voter informa-tion, along with numerous other functions. Davis said versions for Android and Windows will follow. To get the app, visit the Apple

App Store and search Martin Votes. For more about the app call the supervisor’s office at (772) 288-5637.

Structural fat and lean muscle stays, but the fluffy muffin top and thick thighs go, love handles disappear and back fat dissipates before your very eyes, Hansen said. “It changed my body shape and totally reset

my metabolism,” Hansen said. “And it gave me a new relationship with food.” Many patients lose 30 pounds in a month.

Some lose more, Hansen said. Patients can participate in a 23-day cycle or 40-day cycle. New Beginnings is running a special for

both durations. The 40 day program is $399. The price includes a physical examination, the hCG prescription, weekly appointments and weekly B-12 shots. Patients are also seen for six weeks after they finish the diet to phase them back to regular eating to ensure weight is not gained again, Hansen said. The 23-day cycle is $329. Another anomaly of the miracle diet is its

minimal side effects, Hansen said. “I always say the biggest side effect is you

want all new clothes,” Hansen said. Some patients may experience headaches

for the first few days from sugar withdrawal, Hansen said. New Beginnings was established six years

ago by the St. Lucie West couple. The Han-sens previously ran a detox facility for indi-viduals addicted to drugs and alcohol. New Beginnings, which has six locations from Vero Beach to Boca Raton, was established to bet-ter lives, Hansen said. “We found that many patients, when they

were coming clean and sober, they changed addictions and food became their new drug of

choice,” Hansen said. During the clinic’s first four years, the hCG

diet program was the only service offered. In the last year, New Beginnings expanded ser-vices to include non-invasive cosmetic proce-dures. “We’re finding that many patients, once they

lose the weight, their whole life changes,” Hansen said. “Their body image changes and they start focusing on other things that they want to make better.” New Beginnings also offers Botox, fillers,

Juvéderm and testosterone therapy at rea-sonable prices. Hansen recommends Botox for wrinkles

caused by smiling, frowning and other facial expressions. Botox, a prescription medicine injected into facial muscles to relax them, is usually administered into muscles around the eyes and forehead to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Hansen said. Twenty units usual-ly cost $250, but New Beginnings is offering a $199 special. Botox patients are becoming younger and

younger, Hansen said. “We’re finding more and more patients are

starting to use Botox in their 30s before they get those lines and then they never do,” she said. Juvéderm, an injectable filler, is usually ad-

ministered to the lower portion of the face to fill in laugh lines. One syringe can run $550, but New Beginnings is currently offering it at $449. “It lasts up to a year and it actually causes

your body to produce collagen,” Hansen said. “So I don’t think you ever go back to what you looked like before you received it the first time.”

“It doesn’t change the way you look, it just softens the way you look.” New Beginnings also offers testosterone

therapy for $229 a month. The cost includes a physical exam, routine blood work and the injectable hormones. Only males with low tes-tosterone are eligible for the therapy, Hansen said. Men typically start to lose testosterone in their 30s. Hansen described the perfect candidate as

one who is starting to feel the effects of aging. “A man, just like a woman, starts knowing

he’s getting older when he’s sitting on the couch and he doesn’t have any energy and he maybe feels a little blue and doesn’t feel like he used to,” she said. “He knows he should go to the gym, but he doesn’t want to and he feels a little out of shape and starts getting a little pot belly. Those are usually signs of low testosterone.” “Most people think testosterone is about li-

bido and low sex drive,” Hansen said. “It does affect that, but that’s not by any means what it’s all about.” Hansen, who also heads a jailhouse minis-

try for female inmates at the St. Lucie County Jail in Fort Pierce, said there’s nothing more rewarding in life than helping others. “Every day, I see the results of people’s lives

being changed, either medically or cosmeti-cally and it takes them to a different level in relationships, employment opportunities and in the family life.” “I like to see people go from ashes to beauty

instead of beauty to ashes,” Hansen said. For more information on New Beginnings,

PALM CITY –- Lucia Matthews has lived all over the world. Mar-ried to a Englishman, they have followed his career where it took them. The couple recently relocat-ed from Rhode Island to Palm City and Matthews, a psychologist, couldn’t be happier. “I wanted to live in the South and

Florida, in particular,” she said. “We’ve been married 32 years and have lived all over because of his job. Now we have relocated to Palm City and made it our perma-nent home.” Matthews began her career as a

systems engineer. “I have a bachelor’s degree in in-

dustrial management from Geor-gia Tech,” she said. “I ended up working as a systems engineer for 10 years. I knew how to motivate people and I had a fascination for helping people find what they want out of life.” That fascination led her to re-

turn to school for a master’s and doctoral degree in psychology from Northeastern University. She had a successful private practice in Rhode Island and wrote a book, “Harriett’s Walk,” that featured the approach to counseling she used with her own clients. Now, Matthews is starting a

practice in Martin County. She

does not have an office yet and sees clients in their home or oth-er setting. She also counsels by phone, with set weekly appoint-ments. In early March, she began hosting a call-in radio program on WAXE 1370 AM and 107.9 FM. It will air on the first and second Tuesday of the month from 10:30-11 a.m. Matthews said her approach is

simple and straightforward. “It’s common sense, humor and

teaching a few skills,” she said. “It’s demystifying people’s lives. I’m certified as a choice theory re-ality therapist. We believe we help people to self-evaluate their lives and choose for themselves how they want to change their lives. It may require a good shake or a ‘Re-ally?’ or a more delicate touch. “The counseling relationship is

between two experts. I’m an ex-pert in psychology and you’re the expert in yourself. The agenda is the listener’s life. Who’s a more active participant than you? You

have to let me into your life before I can do my job.” Matthews once served as direc-

tor of a state psychiatric facility, working with an adolescent pop-ulation. “I always thought that in private

practice, my expertise would be with adolescents,” she said. “My practice is divided between male and female adults, adolescents and couples. “I really enjoy doing couples

work. The reason people go into psychology is to help others. When you get a couple who are so confused and bewildered, they feel like they’ve been run over by a Mack truck. How did we get here? It’s an honor to watch them want to work to salvage their relation-ship.” Matthews said that couple often

want her to tell them the relation-ship will be saved. “I tell them I’m not a fortune-tell-

er,” she said. “Fifty percent will have moved to separate and 50 percent will make the choice to stay together. I help them figure out what they want and to achieve it. A lot of times, they think they know what they want. My job is to clarify it and help them achieve it.” Matthews said that she has five

basic questions she asks clients:What do you want?What are you doing?How is what you’re doing getting

you what you want?Would you like to try something

else?Would you like me to help you

make a plan?

The answers to those questions often lead to an ‘aha’ moment.“It’s amazing how people thrive,”

Matthews said. “You can tell when I’m talking with someone and they slip into self-evaluation mode. You can tell the moment someone ‘gets it.’”While some therapists spend

time going over past events, that is not Matthews’ approach.“I try to stay focused on the pres-

ent,” she said. “The present is where we have control.”

STUART –- In an interview be-fore his appearance at the Lyric Theatre seven years ago, when he was only 13, pianist and compos-er Conrad Tao recalled his musi-cal beginnings. “The earliest memories of me

playing, they say I crawled up to the piano bench at 1 ½ and plunked out tunes. The first thing I ever played was ‘Mary had a Little Lamb.’” Now nearly 20, Tao returns to

the Lyric March 25. He has re-ceived numerous honors, includ-ing being named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts and a Gilmore Young Artist. That award is given every two years to highlight the most promising young American pianists. He has taken a leave from his studies at Columbia and Juilliard for this busy year of composing and performing. He also studies composing privately. In November 2013, the Dallas

Symphony Orchestra performed a work it had commissioned Tao to write to observe the 50th anniver-saryof the assassination of President

John Kennedy. The orchestral composition is entitled, “The

Young pianist returns to LyricPianist Conrad Tao has been named a Presi-dential Scholar in the Arts and a Gilmore Young Artist, an honor given every two years to the most promising American pianists of the new generation. He will appear at the Lyric Theatre March 25 as part of the Ovation Concert series.

The BStreetBand, which began life in 1980 as Backstreets, is the original tribute band to Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. In fact, the BStreetBand is the only tribute to have per-formed with E Street Band mem-bers. The BStreetBand has opened

for Springsteen at several venues, including the Philadelphia Spec-trum’s final four shows. They’ve played at the U.S. presidential and New Jersey gubernatorial inaugurations, at the Superbowl, Special Olympics and other major events all over the country, where they draw huge crowds. Now, the group is coming to

Carsons Tavern in Stuart on Wednesday March 26, as part of a fundraiser for the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic. Founding member Willie Forte

says the group is often in Flor-ida, but usually at much larger events. The VIM benefit promises to be up close and personal, as only a limited number of tickets can be sold. Tickets are $50 in advance, available

through www.vimclinic.net, or by

World is Very Different Now.” “That was commissioned in 2011,” Tao said.

“They were beginning to plan the weekend surrounding the 50th anniversary and looking for a composer. I was there performing and the commission was extended. It was excit-ing and terrifying. I was trying to convey less about the event and I was rather more inter-ested in exploring perhaps what the event meant today, the reverberations, and how it permeates our consciousness.” For Tao, winner of eight consecutive Amer-

ican Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Morton Gould Young Composers Awards, composing is a critical part of his musical identity. “I’m fortunate to be doing several projects,”

he said. “Composing is an integral part of who I am as a musician. It’s very important to my musi-cianship and I don’t foresee it changing. I’d like to think it creates nuances in my experi-ence with scores. Playing and composing are linked for now. They are synergistic.” For his performance at the Lyric, Tao has

chosen the theme of mood and tone poems. The concert opens with a short tone poem by Meredith Monk called “Railroad” from “Travel Song.” “There are few musicians I look up to as a role model,” he said. “She’s an important pioneer in alternative performance. Her works are image-based.” Tao will perform his own work, “Vestiges,”

about ordinary events that produce images. He will follow that with “Gaspard de la Nuit,” by Maurice Ravel.

“They are three incredibly evocative tone poems,” the pianist said of the Ravel works. For the second half of the program, Tao will

open with three preludes by Claude Debussy. They include “Puck’s Dance,” “Ondine and “What the West Wind Saw.” “They are unique because the image and

description appear after the music,” Tao said. “They are snapshots of a last, final moment.” Finally, Tao will end the program with Mod-

est Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” which is, of course, all about images. “That’s what’s binding the program togeth-

er,” Tao said. “It’s a picture-oriented program. I feel I’ve been attracted to image-based works for two or three years. (The program) is stylistically diverse. It’s a nice way to explore a starting point for the music.” For his 19th birthday, in June 2013, Tao

kicked off the first UNPLAY Festival in New York. He funded the three-day event with his grant money. “I wanted to use the money for something

that wasn’t just self-serving,” he said. “It was people collaborating. Each night was a response to a specific narrative in classical musical and explored some alternatives to a solid, historicized notion of classical music. “Western classical music focuses on master-

pieces. It’s worth questioning this rectilinear way of looking at our history and looking at works that more ephemeral and improvisa-tory. How can we work to question Western concepts?” The festival also explored what a 21st centu-

ry canon of work would look like and whether music has a social component and a role in social activism. Tao found the entire process exhilarating,

but he is mindful that artists can burn out. “I recognize the importance of down time,”

he said. “I am fortunate to have a wonderful support system in family and friends. It’s a process. I’m trying to do a lot of different things and recognize when I need to step back. I expect to try to figure out different ways of doing that for a very long time.” Pianist Conrad Tao comes to the Lyric The-

atre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, March 25 as part of the Ovation Concert series. Tickets for the 7 p.m. concert are $45. Call the box office at (772) 286-7827 or order

ed free health care to medically indigent residents of Martin County. VIM patients must be pre-qualified by showing proof of residency, income, and inability to obtain health care through government services or insurance. VIM patients have household incomes under 200 percent of

the federal poverty level, which is $23,340 for a single per-son, $31,464 for a family of two or $39,576 for a family of three. Last year alone, VIM provided more than $8 million worth

of health care on a budget of under $800,000. VIM Clinic relies heavily on fundraising, most notably the annual black-tie gala on the last Saturday of each January and the Novins Memorial Golf Tournament, which is May 16-17 this year.

MARTIN COUNTY -- It’s not every day the president of a world-renowned organization makes an appearance on the Treasure Coast simply to high-light the accomplishments of oth-ers, but soon one dignitary will do just that. On Thursday, March 27, Peg-

asus Foundation of Hobe Sound will host the second annual Peg-asus Wings Awards at Tuckahoe Mansion in Jensen Beach where local animal advocates will re-ceive the recognition they deserve for helping animals in need and protecting the habitats of sur-rounding wildlife. A national leader on conser-

vation efforts will participate as this year’s guest speaker. During the ceremony, Azzedine Downes, president and chief executive officer of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, will enlighten attendees about the danger of extinction currently threatening an entire species of African ele-

phants and rhinos. “Elephants are in crisis. One

elephant is killed every 15 min-utes for its ivory. It’s time to stand up and say that we value living elephants more than ivory trinkets,” said Downes at the U.S. ivory crushing event in Colorado. “IFAW is committed to breaking every link on the trade chain — from elephant poaching to ivory trafficking to market demand.” Once named by President Clin-

ton to lead Peace Corps efforts in the Eurasia and Middle East Re-gion, Downes is credited for help-ing expand International Fund for Animal Welfare operations to more than 40 countries through his worldly expertise and skillful coordination, and his commit-ment to promoting animal welfare is joined by the likes of others. Special guests Dr. John W.

Grandy, executive director of Pegasus Foundation, and Mark Perry, executive director of the Florida Oceanographic Society, will also attend this year’s cere-mony to recognize animal advo-

cates and environmental stew-ards in the community. Dr. John W. Grandy will also

serve as this year’s master of ceremonies. As the current wild-life counselor to the CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, Grandy advises senior staff on animal welfare issues domestically and abroad. The re-nowned wildlife authority special-izes in the protection of sharks, African elephants, mute swans and national wildlife refuges. “The Pegasus Foundation is

proud of its continuing support for IFAW’s elephant protection programs” said Grandy. “We are honored to host Azzedine Downes, a man with unparal-leled integrity, knowledge and commitment to the protection of elephants and other beleaguered wildlife”. A panel of four esteemed judg-

es will decide who should take this year’s honors. They include Martin County’s Supervisor of Elections, Vicki Davis; return-ing judge and local veterinarian, Enrique Borrego; and two of last year’s winners, volunteer Carol Dippy and Sewall’s Point Com-missioner Jacqui Thurlow-Lip-pisch. The judges will share the

responsibility of selecting one Pegasus Wings Award recipient in each of the following categories: Future Animal Advocates, Jour-nalist for Animals, Foster Family of the Year, River Rescue, Pub-lic Safety Beyond the Call and Advancing Unique Human-An-imal Partnerships. One special recipient will be named the “2014 Friend of Wildlife.” The Pegasus Foundation is

a 501(c)3 created to promote animal welfare around the world. With an office in Hobe Sound, The Pegasus Foundation and its nearly 50 Pegasus Partners based locally and around the world help create a more compassion-ate society by laboring on behalf of animals and the people who help them through volunteering, service and education. Reservations are available

in advance for $50 per person. If you’d like to reserve a seat, please RSVP to Adrianna Car-roll of The Pegasus Foundation, [email protected] or (772) 545-1227 by Friday, March 21. For more information, please

call Ike Crumpler at (772) 201-9996 or Courtney Zanetti at (772) 486-7458.
