TREASURE COAST — Evidence col-lected during law enforcement’s ongo-ing investigation into last year’s homi-cide of St. Lucie County Sherriff’s Sgt. Gary Morales, 35, has landed the girlfriend of the triggerman behind bars.Jessica Mal-

danado, 21, of Vero Beach, was arrested on Aug. 7 for a felony charge of obstructing an investigation in connection with the Morales case, her attorney said. An arrest affidavit states Maldanado, the girlfriend of Eriese Tisdale, 26, record-ed a visit to the State Attorney’s Office

TRADITION — Western residents should be on high alert for mailers offering $100 gift cards to big chain stores in exchange for a small processing fee. Your Voice News & Views was contacted

last week by a resident who received such an offer, which includes a claim number and a

1- (844) phone number to dial into to redeem. The resident became suspicious when the

customer service representative asked for a credit card number for a $4.95 shipping fee. The customer service representative had a foreign accent and disconnected the call when probed on the security of using a credit card for the transaction. The rep declined to pro-vide the name of the call center company. “That set off all kinds of bells for me,” said

the Tradition resident, who wanted to remain anonymous.

The mailer advertised a $100 gift card for stores including Target and Walmart. Usually these kinds of offers are too good to be true, Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. “If anybody is asking you for something in

return, do not provide it, because most likely, it’s a scam,” Sabol said. Do not, under any circumstances, provide

personal or bank information to solicitations, Sabol said.

ST. LUCIE WEST — McChesney Park in St. Lucie West doubled as a landing pad for an Air Rescue Helicopter last week.The helicopter transferred a

child believed to have fallen from a bunk bed in his nearby home in St. Lucie West, St. Lucie County Fire District spokeswoman Cath-erine Chaney said. McChesney Park is located at 1585 S.W. Cashmere Blvd.The Fire District got the call at

5:12 p.m. on April 4, Chaney said.The 2-year-old boy was air-

lifted to St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach, where he was listed in stable condition later that night, Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Frank Sabol said. A CT scan revealed no signs of trauma or injury. Police don’t believe a crime occurred, Sabol said.The boy, who had a fever

throughout the day, according to family members, was found in a sibling’s bedroom lying near the bunk bed with a small amount of vomit nearby, Sabol said.Unsure if the boy had suffered a

fall, first responders called for Air Rescue, Sabol said.Chaney said it’s standard pro-

cedure to air lift a patient from

designated landing areas in the event of an emergency.Common landing zones are

clearings with no obstructions.

Most designated zones are soccer and baseball fields, Chaney said.“Sometimes we’ll clear roads and

land on the roads,” Chaney said.

At a time of great transition in health care coverage across our country, it is important that se-niors enrolled in traditional Medi-care and Medicare Advantage retain the health care coverage on which they depend. Addressing the long-term driv-

ers of our debt and refocusing on economic growth are among the most important things that Con-gress should be working on. In doing so, we must remember that real Americans will be impacted by the decisions we make. More members of Congress should pay attention to the numbers. But by thinking of the budget solely

as numbers on a spread-sheet, we risk unintended consequences or excessively shifting the burden to those with little recourse to make up the difference like seniors on fixed incomes. As an example, recent efforts

sought to bring Medicare Ad-vantage payments in line with traditional Medicare. Using the innovation of the private sector to provide Medicare benefits more efficiently than the government makes sense. However, as we are seeing across the country, Medi-care Advantage cuts are coming at a real cost to seniors via small-

er networks of doctors, cuts to add-on benefits, and higher out-of-pocket limits. For the 85-year-old in Hialeah who has to find and develop trust with a new doctor or the 78-year-

old in Jupiter whose plan just dropped fitness program Silver Sneakers, these are real impacts. Initiated by the Affordable Care Act and reinforced by sequestra-tion, additional cuts proposed for 2015 could continue reducing care coordination innovations and new delivery side efficien-cies. Nothing could be more short-sighted or counter-produc-

tive to getting spending under control than further cuts to Medi-care Advantage, which has a solid success record at reducing hos-pital readmissions and improving health outcomes for seniors. The Centers for Medicare and

Medicaid Services should pro-tect seniors from further cuts by keeping rates flat for 2015 and guaranteeing continued access to plans of their choice.

Most of you knew Randy Jones for many years until his passing last year. Many have done busi-ness with Randy in some form or another. He was a great business-man, good friend, great boss and a wonderful husband. Underneath a tough persona was a gentle man and an all-around nice guy. Randy fought the fight of his

life for a long time. Through his toughest days, he kept a positive attitude and a smile on his face. He inquired on a daily basis about his employees, friends and business partners. He fought the good fight but unfortunately lost the battle. Randy’s death has been a huge loss for all of us and we miss him very much.

Letter: To our families, friends and business partners When someone needed help,

Randy was always there with no questions asked. He was not one to look for the spotlight. Rather he found satisfaction in being able to place his resources behind a cause for the betterment of the community. We at TimeSaver Food Stores (Town Star/Subways) feel the time has come for all us to honor his legacy and lend our support to a good cause that has become near and dear to our hearts, the Leukemia & Lympho-ma Society. To honor the memory of Randy

Jones, our family at Town Star/Subways has made a commitment to support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walk. Light The Night is the society’s annual walk and fund-raising event — and the nation’s night to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. In his effort, we are also asking for your support. Teams of friends, families and co-workers will help raise funds to not only aid in can-cer research but also aid others in providing much needed services in their communities. Locally, the Walk will take place on Thursday, May 15 at 5:30 p.m. at Gazebo Park in Stuart. Please join me, Brenda Jones and the entire Town Star/Subway Team to walk to the end of cancer. If you can’t make the walk, please visit the website, http://pages.lightthenight.org/pb/Treasure14/teamtownstarsub-waydonate what you can and we’ll have our employees walk in your

place. It’s all about raising the funds to help the cause. The Society has an important

mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The Society is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to finding cures for blood cancers. They are saving lives not someday, but today. To date, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s has invested nearly $1 billion in research to advance therapies and save lives. Some of the therapies first approved for blood cancer patients are now helping patients with other types of cancers and serious diseases.Despite advances in survival

rates, about half of blood cancer patients do not survive, so more research is needed to find better treatments that will help save more lives. I hope you’ll agree with me that

this cause is worth your support. You can also make your donation in Randy Jones’ name online at http://pages.lightthenight.org/pb/Treasure14/teamtownstarsub-way. If you have any questions, either

visit the website above or you can email me at [email protected] or call (772) 466-8585 #4

Thank you all in advance for your help and support.

As a practicing commercial real estate broker for the last nine years, I am acutely aware of the driving forces behind the Treasure Coast economy. It’s all about opportunity for new job creation and for the most part, we are pretty much aligned to the three main Florida econom-ic drivers: Agriculture, tourism and housing. For us, of course, it has been

the housing industry that has been the major factor in our growth. While there have been alternative big business initia-tives over the last dozen or so years, Treasure Coast job cre-ation has been dependent upon new business start-ups. Some have gained considerable trac-tion such as VGTI and Torrey Pines while others such as Dig-ital Domain have fallen by the way side. A vibrant economy can only exist within an environ-ment that encourages business opportunities and job creation. With real unemployment

running considerably more than what is officially reported,

moving us to a truly vibrant economy will be dependent on business opportunities that can create sustainable jobs. Sixty percent will be shouldered by small business and entrepre-

TREASURE COAST — With the steamy summer speedily draw-ing near, health officials on the Treasure Coast are launching an early dengue fever awareness campaign to prevent a repeat of last year’s outbreak, the only one in the coast’s history.“The mosquitos become more ac-

tive with the warm weather,” said Karlette Peck, health officer for the Florida Department of Health in Martin County. “As things heat up, more people are going out-side.”The Florida Department of

Health in Martin County and Martin County Mosquito Control are urging residents to “drain and cover” yard items to prevent mosquito breeding and bites as a start. Officials partnered with students

from Indian River State College to spread the word about the impor-tance of preventing dengue fever with a door-to-door prevention

information campaign on April 12 in the Rio area, where last year’s outbreak had a stronghold.In addition to putting boots on

the ground, officials will be hold-ing a series of community presen-tations on dengue fever. The first is planned on May 7 at 6 p.m. at the Jensen Beach Neighbor-hood Advisory Council meeting. A second will be held on May 29 at 6 p.m. at the Rio Neighborhood Advisory Council meeting.The mosquito-borne illness had

a tight grip on the Treasure Coast last summer, until December when health officials determined tainted bloodsuckers were no longer a threat. The first advisory was issued in

August and put residents on high alert of the mosquito-borne ill-ness that infected a total of 22 on the Treasure Coast. Cases were from out-of-state and St. Lucie, Martin and Palm Beach counties, Peck said. The onset of symptoms ranged from May to September, Peck said.Peck hopes the early start will

neurial innovation as we will be-gin to witness the emergence of several new business start-ups. The two critical resources that the small business depends on most are human and financial. We have all heard the saying “cash is king,” and unless the company properly manages and allocates its financial resources, none of the company’s systems, processes or people can effective-ly execute the business plan and accomplish its objectives. While failure in business may

often be the result of lack of ex-

perience in specific market areas or in the business itself, most of the time, it is lack of capi-tal, simply running out of cash. Most entrepreneurs, who start a new business, particularly if it is their first venture, run out of cash at a faster rate than they bring in customers and profit-able sales. That aside, there are numerous other factors at play that can lead to business failure. Perhaps the most critical is the choices that one makes in choos-ing a particular business based on bad information, bad timing or simply building a business around a bad idea. The opportunity one pursues

and the choices one makes can make the difference between success or failure long before the business ever gets off the ground. Starting a new business based on a bad idea is never a good business opportunity. So … the key question is, “How

does the small business own-er actually get started and how do they identify and focus in a particular business opportuni-ty that the business intends to capitalize on?” What good is good execution of a bad idea? What good is it to have absolutely the best product in a market that does not or never will exist? The good news is that in our

country we have an enormous flow of opportunities available for starting a new business. Howev-er choosing the right opportunity can be a difficult and challenging process. Think of the process as ideas and opportunities riding along on a moving conveyer belt which the entrepreneur views through an open window. This is the “Window of Opportunity.” The speed at which these op-portunities flow is variable as the conveyer belt speeds up and slows down. The window is also constantly opening and closing on all three sides representing the volatile and dynamic nature of the marketplace, changes in technology, government inter-vention and competitors’ action. Given this scenario, the ability to recognize the right opportuni-ty when it appears, the sense of timing to seize it as the window is opening rather than slamming shut, is vital to entrepreneurial success. How important is it that you

screen and choose opportuni-ties with great care? Very im-portant, since it is no accident that investors have consistently invested in just two out of every one hundred opportunities and business plans that they review. Opportunities are situational, and the good ones are anchored in high-margin customer needs in an expanding marketplace.

For the astute entrepreneur who has exercised appropriate due diligence, an attractive oppor-tunity will result in a profitable and harvestable venture that is both desirable and attainable by the entrepreneur. Opportunity screening and

evaluation is a highly complex process. Volumes have been written on how one goes about it and numerous scientific meth-odologies and benchmarks have been deployed. Regardless of the approach, once you have identified the right opportunity, the remaining questions involve the ability and experience of the founders, do they possess the financial capacities, relevant experience, commitment, vision, and entrepreneurial zest to exe-cute the opportunity? In short, if you do not really want it, if you do not have the required capital and if you cannot really execute it, then it’s not a good opportuni-ty for you to pursue.

with a cell phone. Tisdale and Mal-danado, share one son together. Recorded jail calls show Tisdale’s mother, Charmaine Tisdale is car-ing for the toddler child.Documents show Maldanado was

at the State Attorney’s Office to provide handwriting samples for comparison.“Upon meeting with Maldanado,

I noticed a cellphone protruding from the top of her bra,” arresting officer, Angela Flowers, of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office said. After denying recording the con-

versation, Maldanado relented.“She declined to answer any ques-

tions. But Maldanado stated she recorded us for her protection,” the arrest affidavit states. “Maldanado said she got the advice to record us from her mother.”Tisdale is accused of fatally

shooting Morales at point-blank range during a traffic pursuit at 9:28 a.m. near Oleander Avenue. Morales, who was seated in his patrol cruiser, gun still holstered, was shot in the side of the head, neck and arm.Maldanado was again arrested on

Nov. 5 on 49 felony counts of crim-inally using personal identification information, court documents state. Investigators began building a

case against Maldanado since the day Morales was gunned down on Feb. 28, 2013, documents show.A search of Maldonado’s Fort

Pierce home on Mura Drive, where Tisdale was staying, recovered a .44 magnum pistol and ammuni-tion, a sawed-off Remington 870 shotgun loaded with four rounds of ammunition and ammunition for a .45 caliber pistol, documents state. A trace of the shotgun showed the gun was reported stolen from the home of a Riviera Beach police officer in July 2007.Authorities also found $500

stashed in a Bible, 17 pieces of cocaine, a digital scale and a makeshift greenhouse in a closet where Tisdale was growing his own marijuana, the report states. The names, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses and dates of birth of several individuals were found on hand-written notes. Police

believed Tisdale or Maldanado intended to fraudulently use the information.Documents recovered from Mal-

danado’s home were determined by investigators to have originated from the Fort Pierce medical office of Dr. A Balconis, where Maldana-do was in an intern during the summer of 2012. At the time of Maldanado’s No-

vember arrest, her employer was listed as Check Cashing USA, where she was a clerk. Authorities determined through training and experience the list of names, dates of birth and Social Security num-bers are used to commit the crime of identity theft.During a police interview on

March 1, the day after Morales was gunned down, Maldonado told investigators she found the identity information in a ditch.“I asked why she did not throw

the information away,” Flowers wrote. “Maldanado stated she was trying to protect the people being taken advantage of.”After Maldanado’s handwriting

was compared to the evidence, experts determined she most likely penned the information about the stolen identities, court documents state.Maldanado’s Vero Beach attor-

ney Julia Graves was hesitant to comment.“I really don’t want to comment,

because I don’t want the state to know what our defense is,” Graves said.Maldanado remains in a St. Lucie

County jail on $90,250 bond.If convicted, she faces up to five

years in prison for each count, or a maximum penalty of 250 years.

avoid another outbreak.“If we get out in front of it,

hopefully we won’t have a prob-lem,” she said.Dengue fever is a disease trans-

mitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito, not person to person. In the Western Hemi-sphere, the Aedes aegypti mos-quito is the main transmitter of dengue viruses. In some cases, the Aedes albopictus mosquito has also transmitted the disease. Both of these mosquitos are found in large numbers in Mar-tin and St. Lucie counties.Locally acquired dengue is rare

in the U.S. Prior to the 22, the last case was contracted by a resident of Port Salerno in Au-gust 2011. There have been no previous locally acquired cases of dengue in St. Lucie County, officials said.Nearly all dengue cases reported

in the 48 continental states were acquired elsewhere by travelers or immigrants, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s website. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens occur in those inhabitants of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam, which are endemic for the virus, the website states.The 22 cases acquired in Mar-

tin County are the nation’s first this year, health officials said. Miami-Dade County has had one confirmed case in recent months.In 2009, surveys suggested that

5 percent of Key West residents were infected with dengue fever. The next year, 66 cases of locally acquired dengue associated with Key West were reported in Flori-da with onset dates ranging from March 17 to Nov. 30, according to the Florida Department of Health’s website.Symptoms usually appear three

to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito and include sudden onset of fever, severe headache, eye pain, muscle and joint pain and bleeding, accord-ing to the Florida Department of Health. Quick recognition and management of symptoms is effective at ensuring the condi-tion doesn’t worsen. There is no treatment for dengue fever.

Tips to avoid dengue:•Drain water from garbage cans,

house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has col-lected.•Discard old tires, drums, bot-

tles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren’t being used.•Empty and clean birdbaths

and pet’s water bowls at least once or twice a week.•Protect boats and vehicles from

rain with tarps that don’t accu-mulate water.•Maintain swimming pools in

good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swim-ming pools when not in use.•Wear shoes, socks, and long

pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be neces-sary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.•Apply mosquito repellent to

bare skin and clothing.•Always use repellents accord-

ing to the label. Repellents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are ef-fective. •Use mosquito netting to protect

children younger than 2 months old.•Repair broken screening on

windows, doors, porches, and patios to keep mosquitoes out of your house

Transportation letters asking for payment are very specific, Huff said.Official letters will include the

violation date, exact time the vio-lation occurred, the toll plaza and a picture of the vehicle’s tag as it travels through the toll facility, Huff said.To date, 130 complaints of the

fake bills have been reported. Calls range the state from Pana-ma City to Miami. “Toll Enforce-ment, LLC,” is listed on the bogus letter as the entity collecting payment.“FDOT does not do business

with any company by the name of TOLL ENFORCEMENT, LLC, and has posted a fraud alert on the Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise

website, the SunPass Website, and the Toll-By-Plate website,” Huff said in a press release. “FDOT officials say that any toll violations or warnings issued by the department will be printed in official document form and will prominently feature the date, time and location of the alleged infraction as well as a photo of the vehicle passing through a toll plaza.”Florida Highway Patrol, as well

as the Miami-Dade Police Depart-ment and other local law enforce-ment are actively investigating this matter.Huff is asking any resident that

receives one of these fraudulent documents to contact SunPass at 1 (888) 865-5352. All information will be turned over to law enforce-ment for further investigation, Huff said.

TRADITION — The Vaccine and Gene Institute of Florida an-nounced recently that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded VGTI Florida scientists Dr. Rafick-Pierre Sékaly, Ph.D. and Dr. Elias Haddad, Ph.D. U.S. Patent No. 8,647,822 deter-mining whether a test compound modulates PD-1 activity in acti-vated immune cells using gene expression profiles. The PD-1 pathway (pro-

grammed cell death) is being actively pursued by most of the big pharmaceutical companies due to its critical role as a check-point in our immune system’s response to cancer and chronic inflammation. This therapeutic strategy is actively being evaluat-ed in multiple clinical trials such as melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and HIV. Phase I trials are also under way for breast cancer, metastatic blad-der cancer and head and neck cancer. “This patent represents a body

of research that has been very useful to drug developers work-ing on the PD-1 blockbuster pathway,” Sékaly said. “Using gene expression profiles of cells allows drug developers to eval-uate the cellular pathways that are operating in response to drug candidates.” Research on this pathway is

continuing in Haddad’s labora-tory.

“Using the methods taught in this patent allows us to better understand the molecular re-sponse and the non-response to drug candidates from an indi-vidual patient manner,” Haddad said. “We have done a lot of analysis

for pharmaceutical companies using this invention and now look forward to licensing this valuable technology,” said Cath-erine E. Vorwald, MS, MBA, and executive director of Marketing & Business Development at VGTI Florida. The patent, issued on Feb. 11,

was also awarded to the scien-tists’ co-inventors at the Mas-sachusetts General Hospital. A Canadian Patent Application No. 2,742,926 remains in review. To explore inventions available

for licensing, please visit www.vgtifl.org/inventions or contact Catherine E. Vorwald. VGTI Florida is a nonprofit

biomedical research institute dedicated to understanding the roles of our immune system and our genes in disease, as well as the development of innovative treatments. VGTI Florida is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization located in the Tradi-tion Center for Innovation in Port St. Lucie. For more information, please

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — If you are looking for a way to be in-volved in helping children suc-ceed, this may be the project for you or for your group. Our goal for 2014 is to provide 4,500 chil-dren with the supplies necessary to succeed. The United Way of St. Luc-

ie County begins its 18th year providing children in the commu-nity with age-appropriate school supplies for the upcoming school year that begins in August. Since the start of this program, more than 53,000 packages of supplies and backpacks have been distrib-uted. “It’s an amazing program that

starts students with the tools they need to learn, and it’s a wonderful way for the communi-ty to show that they care about the children,” said Cris Adams of United Way. “To prosper, children need an education, and part of

that education is having the right tools.” Organizations, businesses,

houses of worship and individu-als can participate in School Sup-plies for Students in many ways. There are opportunities to “adopt” a classroom or a school, collect general supplies, makes financial donations and volunteer at the events held to support this pro-gram. “Stuff the Bus” will be held Saturday, July 19, 8 a.m.-6 p.m., at all four Wal-Mart locations in St. Lucie County, and the Sorting and Packing event will take place at Forest Grove Middle school on three days — Saturday, July 26, Wednesday, July 30, and Satur-day, Aug. 2 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. If you, your business or group

would like to help with School Supplies for Students, or for more information on the United Way and how you can support School Supplies for Students, please call Cris Adams at (772) 464-5300 or visit our website, www.united-wayslc.org.

FORT PIERCE — When Dale and Kathryn Bowes moved to Stuart from Chicago, they came to the area for “the weather and the water.” Bowes looked for something to do, and in 2002, he purchased Buddy’s Holiday Mo-bility, a long-established business that retrofitted vehicles for per-sons with disabilities. “Vans are the most popular,

although we can modify cars,” he said. “We make vehicles accessi-ble, either to drive or for trans-port. It’s the main thing we do.” It is not the only business

Bowes owns. At the same loca-tion, Buddy’s Holiday Truck and Van has a complete truck and accessory department that sells add-ons such as tool boxes and running boards. Buddy’s Auto Trim and Upholstery does com-plete interiors and convertible tops. They also install leather kits and can work on new and vintage vehicles. The business also sells new

and used vans that have wheel-chair accessible ramps installed. “The vans are converted by the

Braun Corporation,” Bowes said. “They are the largest manufactur-er of handicapped vans. We are a five-star certified Braun dealer. We add a lot of equipment here.” As if that weren’t enough, they

also sell and service wheelchairs, scooters and lifts. Not surprisingly, Bowes has a

wide clientele. “People think the vans are for

older people, but they are also for people with spinal bifida or short arms who need to drive. We do a lot of work with the VA and soldiers. Most, unfortunately are amputees. They are in their 20s or 30s and have families and have to do things. They’re very young. “The VA does help to pay for

some of these modifications. We can install hand controls or a left foot accelerator pedal. If the per-son can’t access functions on the dashboard, we can install sec-ondary controls to make remote access from a wheelchair.” Bowes and his staff work with

certified driver rehabilitation spe-cialists, who do a work-up and assessment of the client’s needs and prescribe the modifications necessary. The specialists are licensed by the state. Modifications to a vehicle are

quite expensive, often costing from $50,000 to $75,000. Some organizations pick up a portion of the expenses and worker’s com-pensation pays for some. Still, it can be challenging to find the funds. Bowes said running this type of

business was never his goal. “I had no intention of doing

this,” he said. “I changed my mind. It’s very rewarding, and people really appreciate you.” Some of his recent clients have

been teenage girls who suffered severe brain and spinal cord inju-ries texting while driving. “I’m seeing a lot of that,” he

said. “We see it over and over. I thought it would be depressing,

&Come See Our Rare Display Of Cameos

emperors have commissioned them, kings have acquired them, and at least since the fourth century B.C. collectors have cherished them. Cameos are works of miniature sculptured art. Their original purpose is lost in history, with the original intent of

individual pieces known only to the craftsmen who carved them. What is known is that of the countless ancient examples of the sculptor’s and carver’s craft, none offers such

a unique window through which to view the cultural past. Cameos reveal the manners, customs, philosophies, historic events, and social occasions that have marked our past.

The ancient cameos, like fine art and sculpture, were intended as statements. Only in the last few hundred years has the significance eroded as cameos began to depict endless profiles—

of vapid females. Today most cameo connoisseurs believe that cameos originated without any practical purpose other than ornamentation,This was true of the late Victorian

age when many were mass produced for tourist on Holiday in Italy- However the dutch scholar, Zadoks-Josehus Jitta, was correct’ seeing their deeper meaning

has characterized them as “messages in agate.” In ancient times the cameo also served as an amulet, a talisman, a storyboard depicting ethics and morals, a tangible affirmation of one’s faith, and in some cases a reflection of one’s destiny. At one point the wearing of a cameo portrait of the ruling monarch not only showed one’s loyalty to the court but also facilitated a quick audience with the ruler; such a cameo could quite conceivably guarantee safety and

favor. Given all this, it seems inappropriate to consign the carving of cameos only to the category of personal adornments and amusements plastered on

cups, vessels, crowns and relics, used to fill treasuries of royalty and the church. Throughout history royal figures have set the tone for fashion. Queen Elizabeth I

enjoyed wearing cameos, and Catherine the Great maintained an impressive collection of them. The enthusiasm for cameos in the French court of Napoleon

Olympians on parade rare circa 1885 14kt. Yellow gold excellent carving very large. The first ancient reference of religious ceremonies for them is found in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes.

The Greek cult of the Twelve Olympians can be traced to the 6th century BC Athens and probably has no precedent in the Mycenaean period. The altar to the Twelve Olympians

at Athens is usually dated to the archonship of the younger Pesistratos, in 522/521 BC. The concept of the “Twelve Gods” is older than any of our Greek or Roman sources, and is likely of Anatolian origin. There seems to have been a great deal of fluidity when it came to who was counted among their number in antiquity Very large rare one of a kind circa 1880 • 22kt/14kt cameo hand made with 22kt Aphroditie, her mother Dion & torch bearing cherb with the bird of wisdom Museum quality.

Rarity, not necessarily age, determine a cameo’s value Among the most valued cameos, however, are “metamorphic” ones. These include several subjects, such as

a man and an eagle, within one carving. “This is where the carver was like a sculptor, looking into the stone and seeing the potential within,” This is one of those rare cameos

Cameos


but with technology, they can be able to drive and be productive. It’s a challenge to go anywhere, but they do it. It’s a very positive thing. It’s great to be able to help people.” Bowes and any mobility special-

ist has to be licensed and trained, and they are required to take classes several times a year. While many of the modifications

are for those with severe disabil-ities, Bowes noted that people with problems such as arthritis

may benefit from certain modi-fications that make it easier for them to use their vehicles. Some-times, the modification may be temporary, while a person is re-covering from an injury or stroke. “It’s to make people feel safe

and comfortable,” Bowes said. “They feel safe as a driver and as a passenger.”

TREASURE COAST — It’s that time of year when Helping People Succeed calls upon area artists to submit artwork for its popular Art for Living Calendar, now in its 17th year. Area artists are invited to sub-

mit paintings for the 13-month calendar. Each month’s page will feature a selected painting, back-ground on the artist and a photo, plus a page sponsor from area businesses. The calendar theme consists of tropical scenes, in-cluding birds, fish, wildlife, flow-ers, coconuts and more. Other scenes could represent historical buildings, the St. Lucie River, the Indian River Lagoon and the Loxahatchee River. Deadline for the application

and art submissions is Monday, May 19 at 5 p.m. The submis-sion from each artist will in-clude an application, an entry fee and a high-resolution jpeg of the painting to be submitted for the first calendar judging re-view. Once the judges select the

artwork during the first review, original unframed paintings must be submitted for the final judging. As part of the calendar project,

there will be three calendar-sign-ing events to attend. Seacoast National Bank will

host the main signing reception in its lobby at its Colorado Ave-nue branch. Two other calendar signing events will be at Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Jensen Beach and at the A.E. “Bean” Backus Gallery and Museum in Fort Pierce. Application forms and guide-

lines explaining the calendar process are available online at www.hpsfl.org. Each artist should be aware of size, framing and other specifications to par-ticipate in the popular calendar project. Submissions should be emailed to: [email protected]

For questions regarding the application, please contact Lynn Austin at (772) 320-0773 or [email protected].

FORT PIERCE — “Oklahoma” was the first collaboration be-tween Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. Based on Lynn Riggs’ play, “Green Grow the Lilacs,” the show was a smash when it opened on Broadway in 1943 and won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1944. Students at Indian River State

College’s Performing Arts Acad-emy will present “Oklahoma Jr.” April 25-26. Students at the academy, ages 9-14, come from St. Lucie, Martin and Indian Riv-er counties. Jane Whitaker, a St. Lucie

County teacher on special assign-ment in professional development at the district office, is the acad-emy’s musical theater director. She said that while it is a junior version, it is still a full-fledged play. “The original version is edited so

it is easier for younger students to get experience, but is not so demanding,” she said. “With the budget, we can’t have pit musi-cians. It’s all on CD that they pro-vide as accompaniment.” The youngsters are stepping out

of their comfort zones, learning some square dancing, but Lau-rey’s dream ballet is condensed. Still, the wonderful songs, are there: “Oh, What a Beautiful

Morning,” “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and “Kansas City,” will have the audience singing as they leave the theater. The cast includes Madison Ken-

nedy as Laurey, Aiden McDon-nell as Curly, Taylor Hall as Ado Annie, who cain’t say “no,” Terry Gardner as Will Parker, Tamsin Kernick as Aunt Eller and Jaden Keys as Jud Fry.
