Health officials still battle rare dengue fever outbreak

TREASURE COAST — A crew of health department workers from several counties across the state have descended upon Martin County as a result of an unusual spike in confirmed Dengue Fever infections on the Treasure Coast. The number of cases has swelled to 18 as of Sept. 17.“Teams from the Florida De-

partment of Health and Martin County Mosquito Control will be-gin visiting homes in the Rio and Jensen Beach area tomorrow,” said Dr. Karlette Peck at a Sept. 12 press conference at the Martin County Public Safety Complex. Peck is a health officer for the Florida Department of Health in Martin County. “This important door-to-door ef-

fort will be conducted for approx-imately a week in order to provide prevention information, a risk assessment survey and with the resident’s consent, draw blood for dengue testing,” Peck said.Officials are now awaiting re-

sults from the week-long survey which should explain the extent of dengue fever in the area and gather information to help pre-vent further transmission. Resi-

Graffiti taggers paint the town ugly

ST. LUCIE WEST — Port St. Lucie Police are investigating 14 cases of graffiti vandalism in the city — five of which were in St. Lucie West — and they’re enlist-ing the public’s help to nab the taggers. The rash of unsightly illus-

trations began popping up on traffic control boxes, businesses and traffic signs in the central and western part of the city on Sept. 5, police spokesman Mas-

ter Sgt. Frank Sabol said. Police believe the culprit or

culprits are going out in the late night or early morning hours and writing “MALUM!,” “MA!” and drawing a face on their targeted property. Surveillance footage from two locations show a grainy figure peddling a bike to and from the scene. Another depicts a shadowy figure spray an area and leave in a car. The make and model was veiled by the night’s darkness. Sabol is urging anyone with

Small acid spill swiftly handled by services district

ST. LUCIE WEST — A small-scale acid spill late last month was swiftly cleaned up by district staffers, who were applauded by officials from the state’s Depart-ment of Environmental Protection for their efficient efforts.The 380-gallon spill of sulfuric

acid occurred on Aug. 30 at the district’s water treatment plant located on Utility Drive in St. Lucie West. A 150-foot area was cordoned off by district workers, who are state-trained in handling hazardous materials, District manager Dennis Pickle said. Workers wore respirators, boots and gloves to handle the issue, he said.Responders from the St. Lucie

County Fire District helped in roping off the area. An official from the Department of Envi-ronmental Protection was also on site, Pickle said. She said the incident was handled properly by the district’s four workers. CDI Group USA, a Fort Pierce-based environmental cleanup company also assisted, Pickle said.“The fire department came in

and assisted. They did what they

did and our people were well trained and they handled it well,” Pickle said. “Then we called an environmental cleanup company to come in and they said, actual-ly, you all are doing what we are going to do.”The area was cleaned up by

placing dirt on the acid, which is a common agent used as part of the cleaning process in water treatment facilities to lower pH levels, Pickle said. “It’s able to be disposed of and is

no longer a hazardous material,” Pickle said of the simple proce-dure. The material was taken to the Okeechobee landfill.The spill did not pose a threat to

the public, Pickle said. “It’s not a major, major issue.

It’s just that a pipe failed and the acid spilled on the ground,” Pickle said. “Unfortunately — I’ve been in this business for 30 years and I’ve never seen it happen — but it’s something that can happen.”The cleanup could total in the

thousands and will most likely be paid for out of the district’s emergency and renewal funds, set aside for instances like this.“I don’t have the final numbers

yet. We’re still waiting,” said Pickle, who added the total may

tips to contact the police department or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers. Individuals out at night should remain alert, Sabol added. “Anybody out and about at night, keep an eye

out and if they see anything suspicious, give us a call immediately,” Sabol said. Sabol is also asking parents to keep a watchful

eye over their teenage children. “Parents of teenage kids should check their

book bags to see if they have that name written on it,” Sabol said. It’s common for teen taggers to decorate their

belongings like bags, clothing and notebooks with their graffiti slogan, Sabol said. Police don’t believe the graffiti is affiliated with a gang. Van-dalism on private property is unfortunately the property owner’s responsibility to clean up. The city’s public works department will clean up the paint on its property, Sabol said. If the damage totals over $1,000, the person responsible could face felony charges, Sabol said. Areas in St. Lucie West hit with the vandalism

include walls near Superplay USA and Panera Bread, which were smeared with the image of a face with black paint and a traffic control box at Peacock Boulevard and St. Lucie West Boulevard that was tagged with the word “SEKE.” A school bus and a storage bin at the College

Preparatory Academy of the Treasure Coast locat-ed on University Boulevard was also vandalized. The school’s principal, Erika Rains, declined

comment to avoid compromising the open inves-tigation. Anyone with information can call the Port St.

Lucie Police Department at (772) 871-5001 or re-main anonymous by calling Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800-273 TIPS.

A school bus at the College Preparatory Academy of the Treasure Coast,located in St. Lucie West, was vandalized in a rash of graffiti that began on Sept. 5. The tagger sprayed the word ‘MALUM!’ on the bus’s front tire with blue spray paint. Anyone with tips is urged to call the Port St. Lucie Police Department or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers.

dents in the area received Reverse 911 calls last week with informa-tion about the survey and dengue prevention tips, health officials said. Workers from Alachua, Bradford,

Duval, Escambia, Hillsborough, Okaloosa, Indian River, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia counties assisted in the canvass of the Rio and Jensen Beach area, which has approximately 10,000 homes. Each case was exposed in both areas.Roughly 700 homes were ran-

domly selected for testing. Peck said the department only need-ed about 300 blood samples to complete the study. It’s estimat-ed the survey could cost around $40,000 to $50,000, expenses that should be reimbursed by the state, officials said.Of the 18 cases, 11 are Martin

County residents, two non-Flori-da residents, one Palm Beach res-ident and four St. Lucie residents who visited Martin County. None of the cases traveled internation-ally recently, officials said.The majority of the cases are

adults over the age of 40, Bob Washam, director of Environ-mental Health at Martin County’s Health Department said. One case was a child, Washam con-firmed. All should make a full recovery, he said.Dengue Fever is a disease

transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito, not person to person. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main transmitter of dengue viruses. In some cases, the Aedes albopictus mosquito has also transmitted the disease. Both of these tropical mosquitoes

are found in large numbers in Martin and St. Lucie counties.Locally acquired dengue is rare

in the U.S. Prior to the 18, 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 in-habitants of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam, which are endemic for the virus, the website states.The 18 cases acquired in Martin

County are the nation’s first this year, Washam said. Miami-Dade county has had one confirmed case in recent months, he said.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 manage-

ment of symptoms is effective at ensuring the condition doesn’t worsen. There is no treatment for Dengue Fever, said Dr. Celeste Philip, interim deputy secretary of health and deputy health officer for Children’s Medical Services at the Florida Department of Health.“As with most viral illnesses, we

approach it by treating the symp-toms. People will be achy and have a fever, so we’ll give them something to help with those symptoms,” Philip said.Both Martin and St. Lucie coun-

DENGUE from page 1

ty mosquito control officials have been going door-to-door to drain spots in backyards with stand-ing water, where the mosquitos breed. Efforts in Martin County have been concentrated in the Rio area, officials said.“We’re spraying every day,

including in the day. To date, mosquito control has inspected approximately 1,500 proper-ties, that’s not including re-in-spections of properties going on today,” said Gene Lemire, direc-tor of Martin County Mosquito Control.It’s vital residents heed official

alerts, Lemire said. Residents must drain containers in yards and even plants that can harbor small pockets of water. Broken screens must be fixed and clothes and skin should be sprayed with proper mosquito repellent, day or night.“Bird baths are famous for Aedes

aegypti … We’ve actually turned bird baths upside down,” said Lemire. He said bird baths should be washed out frequently.Those infected with the disease

are advised to heed the same tips to avoid transmission to mosqui-tos, officials said.As a precautionary measure,

OneBlood temporarily suspended blood collection operations begin-ning Sept. 11 in Martin and St. Lucie counties until the dengue outbreak subsides.“After considerable discussion,

we decided the safest thing to do would be stop collections in what appeared to be the affected area until we could see how things were developing,” Dr. Rita Reik, chief medical officer for OneB-lood, said.

Mosquito control tips:• Drain water from garbage

cans, house gutters, buck-ets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected.

• Discard old tires, drums, bottles, 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 accumulate water.

• Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appro-priately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.

• Cover skin with clothing or repellent.

• Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.

• Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing.

• Always use repellents ac-cording to the label. Repel-lents with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective.

• Use mosquito netting to pro-tect children younger than 2 months old.

• Cover doors and windows with screens to keep mosqui-toes out of your house.

• Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches, and patios.

Staff photo by Nicole RodriguezGene Lemire, director of Martin County Mosquito Control, briefed members of the media at a Sept. 12 press conference at the Martin County Public Safety Complex on the outbreak of dengue fever on the Treasure Coast. As of press time, there have been 18 confirmed cases of the mosquito-borne illness.


Men in stilettos set to go the extra mile to stop abuse

TRADITION — Hundreds of men from across the Treasure Coast are expected to march through Tradition Square next month to raise awareness about domestic violence with the hope of ending the senseless brutality that claims the lives of four wom-en every day in the U.S. To fully discern the women

they advocate for, men partici-pating in the fourth annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event will strut in 4-inch high, red stiletto pumps. “You can’t understand an issue

until you walk a mile in their shoes,” said Jill Borowicz, CEO of SafeSpace, a nonprofit organiza-tion that provides resources and shelter to abused women on the Treasure Coast. Last year’s event garnered

$40,000 to benefit SafeSpace. That money was raised through walks in Tradition, Stuart and Vero Beach, Borowicz said. The walks are strategically held in Oc-

tober, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is an

international event that boasts 250 walks across the globe each year. It brings Borowicz great joy

to watch the good guys take a stand. “We really need good men to

fight this fight with us,” she said. “I believe there are more good men in the world (than bad).” The organization has around

150 pairs of red pumps in an array of men’s sizes if men don’t bring their own, Borowicz said. Some of the men already commit-ted to the Tradition walk include each male member of the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners and other local leaders, Borowicz said. SafeSpace has two 24 bedroom

shelters in St. Lucie and Indian River counties and also services Martin County women in dire need. The nonprofit, which is a United Way organization, serves approximately 1,000 women a

Supervisors say services board stands in solidarity, despite dispute

ST. LUCIE WEST — Members of the St. Lucie West Services District assured the public during its September meeting that there isn’t a schism among its five supervisors despite a publicized dispute over argumentative com-ments made a month ago.“I want to assure the public that

it is the case that on matters of real importance, 99.8 percent of the time, we are a five-to-nothing board,” Vice Chairman Everett Child said. “On the few occasions that we’re 3:2, it is because there is a genuine difference in opinion as to how an end result should be achieved.”Sparks flew at last month’s

meeting when the board’s Chair-man Harvey Cutler threatened to censure Supervisor Sal Mancuso for making what Cutler called insulting remarks during a formal July meeting.Cutler said according to a July

meeting transcript, Mancuso im-plied the board was incompetent. Mancuso was elected and ap-pointed to the board last year. He also served on previous boards.“I don’t even know if the board

knows what’s really happening!” transcripts show Mancuso said during a discussion about the

district’s budget.After several minutes of debate

at the August meeting, Mancuso said he never intended to insult any member of the board.Last week, Mancuso reiterat-

ed that any words exchanged at meetings are not personal.“We have to forget about the

past and look forward to the future ... I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Every day I wake up is a good day.”Child said he hoped the public’s

perception of the board wasn’t smeared by the disagreement last month.“So again, I state for the board

and for the press, too, that in spite of occasional flare-ups and interpretations of each other’s conversation that we are a unified board and as you’ve heard this morning, we are in great shape and we have a formidable district manager and staff and we want to keep it that way and overcome these little disruptions now and then,” Child said in Cutler’s ab-sence due to travels. Child asked members to always

remain respectful, even when deadlocked on an issue.“I would just reiterate my per-

sonal request to myself and the rest of the board to try to main-tain civility and avoid name calling or name-calling by sugges-tion,” Child concluded.

was the Tommy who saved lives and positively impacted the com-munity during his time on Earth, and it’s the same Tommy whose foundation and spirit continue to provide support, comfort and as-sistance to others who are travel-ing the same frightening road he traveled before losing his battle with myositis last year. At 39, Deputy Thomas Worth-

ington was in tip-top physical condition, a regular for workouts and exercise. So when he began to suffer from a lingering rash that developed into some muscu-lar aches, he was more surprised than anyone else to hear a diag-nosis of myocitis. Neither Tommy nor his fami-

ly had ever heard of the illness, which affects 50,000-75,000 people in the United States every year. Not easily diagnosed, this incurable muscle disease can affect different areas of the body, and in Tommy, the disease struck fast and with a horrible ven-geance. Though surrounded by loving

family and being treated by the nation’s finest specialists and support staff, Tommy Worthing-ton succumbed to myositis just six-weeks after his diagnosis. And while his loss is still a raw and painful wound for his family to bear, Tommy’s wife, Dana and his sister Laurie Boyer are dedicated

to keeping Tommy’s memory and caring spirit alive by helping oth-ers who may be facing a diagno-sis of myositis. On Sept. 21, Team Tommy

Foundation will host a Kickball Tournament at Sandhill Crane Park in Port St. Lucie. Eight teams, consisting of the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, Port St. Lucie Police, St. Lucie County Firefighters, St. Lucie County teachers and friends and family, will run the bases in a no-holds-barred kickball match to raise funds for families with myositis diseases, to help finance re-search, and to promote aware-ness of this little-known and deadly illness. Play will begin at 9:30 a.m.,

and while there are no more openings for teams, there are lots of spots for spectators. If you can’t stand the heat at the field, join the entire party as it heads to Jensen Ale House at 2 p.m. after the tournament ends for awards, raffles, food and celebrations, with a portion of those proceeds being donated directly to Team Tommy Foundation. There will also be educational materials on site to help you learn more about myositis, an incurable autoimmune disease that is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis.

Tournament or Team Tommy Foun-dation, visit www.teamtommy.org

year. Borowicz hopes to help more

and get the word out about the organization to do so. “Our tagline is saving and

changing lives,” she said. “How can you save lives of women in violent situations if they don’t know about us?” With a clear mission to offer

victims of domestic violence safe-ty, support and education while empowering positive self-direc-tion of life, Borowicz also wants women to know they don’t have to bear the burden of abuse by themselves. “Women need to know that

they don’t have to be alone,” Borowicz said. “They’re not alone. We’re here 24 hours a day.” The SafeSpace hotline is open

24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. “Pick up that phone and make

that phone call,” Borowicz said. “Call the hotline and make that first step. It’s not a commitment, it’s a phone call.” The line is a haven where wom-

en can talk about their situation or devise an escape plan. Oper-ators educate abuse victims and may advise women ready to leave to stowaway a backpack with personal items for when the time

is right. “One in three women will be or

have been the victim of domestic violence,” Borowicz said. That staggering statistic needs

to be done away with by raising awareness, Borowicz said. Women who need help can call

the SafeSpace hotline at (800) 500-1119. The line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information on SafeS-

AT&T expands 4G LTE coverage, adds more wireless capacity for Treasure Coast customers

As part of its continuing net-work investment and ongoing 4G LTE rollout, AT&T* has activated a new 4G LTE cell site in Port St. Lucie and upgraded two mo-bile Internet cell sites in Jensen Beach and Fort Pierce with LTE to expand AT&T 4G LTE coverage for area residents and business-es. In addition, the company has added extra capacity to five cell sites in Vero Beach. The areas benefitting from

the expanded 4G LTE coverage include the Tradition community in western Port St. Lucie and the areas of South Ocean Drive in Jensen Beach and North Ocean Drive and North A1A in Fort Pierce. The capacity upgrades are

benefitting the areas of Ocean Drive, 17th Street and Old Dixie Highway in Vero Beach. The addi-tional capacity makes it possible for the cell sites to accommodate more traffic, which helps improve the performance of mobile Inter-net data and voice connectivity for customers. AT&T has the nation’s fastest

and most reliable 4G LTE net-work. AT&T 4G LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology and provides sever-al benefits for local residents, including faster mobile Internet speeds — up to 10 times faster than 3G, improved performance, reliability and innovative new 4G LTE-compatible devices.

AT&T launched its ultra-fast 4G LTE network in parts of Martin and St. Lucie counties in April of this year. The Jensen Beach and Fort Pierce cell site LTE upgrades are one part of AT&T’s ongoing efforts to expand 4G LTE cover-age and to drive investment and innovation to deliver the nation’s best, most advanced mobile Inter-net experience for customers. “Our goal is for our customers

to have an extraordinary ex-perience, and they’ll be able to download, upload, stream and game faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network,” said AT&T Florida President Marshall Criser lll. “As part of the Treasure Coast community, we’re always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is another way we’re accomplishing that.” The recent Treasure Coast up-

grades are part of AT&T’s Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment plan announced last fall to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks. Through this investment, AT&T is support-ing its customers’ growing desire for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud-based services. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to add more than 10,000 macro cell sites nationwide by year-end 2015, as well as deploy more than 40,000 small cells and add more than 1,000 Distributed Antenna Sys-tems to increase the density of its wireless network.

Artist sets no limits on achievement

PGA VILLAGE — When Katie Henderson was born, 31 years ago, the doctors wanted to take the baby with Down syndrome off life support. They did not believe she would live for more than 36 hours, and if she did, she would be non-functioning.Today, a triumphant Katie

Henderson is 31 and an inter-

nationally recognized artist with her own business, Miss Katie’s Kreations. The artist has sold works to collectors in 28 states and four countries. In December 2012, her work was displayed at the Capitol Rotunda in Tallahas-see.With Katie at her side, adding

pieces to the story, mom Ruth Henderson talked by phone about her daughter’s journey. The young woman who describes herself as “an artist with abilities” has confounded naysayers all of

her life.“Katie taught herself how to

draw,” Ruth Henderson said. “She wanted to start her own business and asked her dad to be an entrepreneur. She said, ‘Hey, Pops, be an entrepreneur so I can start my own business and sup-port myself.’”For Katie, being independent

and working are as important to her as they are to most of us.“She has really been focused on

being independent,” her mother said. “She wants to live on her

own. She keeps telling us we have to let go.’”Katie’s dad gave her some seed

money. The initial plan was to do some arts and crafts fairs. Then she saw the film, “The Devil Wears Prada.”Katie decided to be a fashion

designer. Her mom bought her a “Fashion Sketchbook,” that was the same book used in many fashion design classes. At first, Katie traced the designs. Then

Italiano will be hosting a promo-tion, “2 for $29.95 Mutt March Fundraiser & Pre-Registration Days,” from Monday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 29 that will benefit the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.

erage, homemade garlic knots, salad, a choice of four entrées and a dessert. During the promo-tion, guests may pre-register for the Society’s 11th annual Mutt March, which will take place on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Memorial Park in Stuart. Registration is $10 per person and includes a special Humane Society of Trea-sure Coast tote.

owners and their pets dressed in costumes and other activities. Approx-imately 1,000 people and their dogs are ex-pected to participate.

she began making free-hand designs.In August 2011, Miss Katie’s

Kreations became a general partnership with Katie and her mother. The name for the busi-ness comes from her brother’s nickname for her, KK, and from the boats the family had, always named “Miss Kate.” The young entrepreneur knew that the busi-ness had to have two ‘Ks” in its name.In addition to her original art,

and giclees, which are prints made using digital inkjet printing, Miss Katie’s Kreations sells note cards, fashion art and fashion shirts. While she has a small studio, she has decided to con-centrate on expanding her web business. She studies with Lynne Barletta at the Visionary School of the Arts in Stuart and hopes to be a fashion designer. In Decem-ber 2012, she was featured in the South African edition of the fash-ion magazine, “Marie Claire.”“Her dream is to be a fashion

designer and see her ladies come to life in a fashion show,” Ruth Henderson said. “She hopes to go to Paris for Fashion Week.”Katie Henderson has a show

at the Emerson Center in Vero Beach through the end of Oc-tober. There will be a Meet the Artist reception on Oct. 24 from

5-6:30 p.m. She is also preparing for the

Buddy Walk on Oct. 5 at Indian Riverside Park.“October is National Down

Syndrome Awareness Month,” Ruth Henderson said. “Katie will be doing a lot of live drawings at Buddy Walks. The Buddy Walks bring awareness of the abilities of individuals with Down syndrome and promote acceptance and inclusion into the community. National and local organizations raise money to support parents and families.”Katie’s goal is to raise money for

adults with Down syndrome.“As Down syndrome individuals

get older, you age out of services,” Ruth Henderson said. “You get support in high school, but once you’re a grad, you’re on your own. Academic skills are lost. Katie has been wanting to increase her reading skills again. “We are going to be working

on starting a reading program with ARC of Martin County. It will be like a book club. We’ll be buying books and the national organization trains you on how to facilitate and work with those individuals. Katie and I would go through the training. The goal of the program is, ‘It’s never too late to learn how to read.’”The Hendersons belong to the

Treasure Coast Down Syndrome Awareness Group, which provides

resources for parents and families from the time the baby is born. Katie Hen-

derson knows that she has a gift and she never takes it for granted. She frequently donates her work. Two pieces donat-ed earlier this year raised $2,200 for the ARC of Martin County. She has raised almost $7000 for a variety of charities in 2013.“A big part

of it is giving back,” Ruth Henderson said.For Katie Hen-

derson, the world is a place of op-portunities, not limitations. She has already gained recognition in the special needs community, but she is now gaining recognition in the community and the world for what she has accomplished as an artist, an artist with abilities.

Miss Katie’s Kreations can be seen at the website, www.misska-tieskreations.com.The Emerson Center is located at

1590 27th Ave., Vero Beach. For information about the Trea-

Greek tragedy opens IRSC season

FORT PIERCE — David Moberg, who heads the performing and visual arts department at Indian River State College, knows that selling the idea of Greek tragedy to drama students isn’t easy.“When you first tell them you’re going to do Greek

tragedy, they go, ‘Oh, no,’” Moberg said. “Once they get into it, there’s theatricality and a cere-monial aspect that’s wonderful.”Audiences will be able to see this for themselves

‘The Bacchae,’ by Eu-ripides, staged in 2005, is one of the Greek tragedies the students at Indian River State Col-lege’s performing arts de-partment has performed. This season, students will present ‘The Libation Bearers,’ by Aeschylus.

when the drama department presents “The Libation Bearers” by Aeschylus from Sept. 26-28.The play is the second play in the Oresteia trilogy and presents the story of Electra’s revenge for her father, Agamemnon’s death.Moberg said he chose this play

because he has staged the other two plays in the trilogy, “Agam-emnon,” and “The Eumenides.” He enjoys introducing students to Greek tragedy and says the experi-ence has several benefits.“The Greek plays have a chorus

and it’s a great way to indoctrinate new students into the theater pro-

cess,” he said. “They see how we direct and what our expectations are. There’s a lot of ensemble work. The language is richer and more poetic than modern drama, forcing them to look for the subtexts and scrape below the surface.”The director said that Greek trag-

edy deals with familiar themes of family, vengeance, destiny and free will. There’s also violence, includ-ing the killing of parents.“They key into the violence,”

Moberg said. “They’re always sur-prised that the Greek people killed each other. They’re very intrigued by the stories. To do the second play, I have to tell the first story. Bells go off and connections are made. I always like to watch the light bulbs go off.”The story proves that there is

nothing new under the sun. Agam-emnon, the Greek king who con-quered Troy, comes back from that war to find that his wife, Clytem-nestra, has taken a lover. The two kill Agamemnon. In “The Libation Bearers,” Agamemnon’s children, Orestes and Electra, kill Clytem-nestra for killing their father.“This brings up the question of

vengeance,” Moberg said. “Even though their mother deserves to die, it’s killing a parent. It’s a huge issue. What is the punishment for killing your parents? Who made who do what? Is it destiny or free will? Arguably, in this play, (the god) Apollo orders Orestes to kill his mother. He has no choice, but he’s followed around the world by the Furies. He did what the god said, but he gets punished for it.”Moberg said that the students are

intrigued by the story because it raises such interesting questions.

The cast includes Sean Birkett as Orestes; Lindsey Grace Mercado as Electra; Alexandra Rodriguez as Clytemnestra; Dominick Jimenez as Aegithus; Tommy Lesko as Pylades; Brennan Monaco as the Servant; and Marisa Quijano as Cilissa. There is also the fabled Greek Chorus.Moberg said that the audience

should give the play a chance.“I think the audience will really

enjoy it,” he said. “It’s theatrical. The lights, costumes and move-ments blend between a good mys-tery and a church service. It’s quite engaging. The characters are very relatable. There are real people within the ritual. It’s theater at its best. I love working on this kind of stuff. It fills me up.”The director understands that

many people need an easy intro-duction to all of this. He has edited the play so that it runs approx-imately one hour. He wants the actors and audience to get the flavor and experience of staging the play without having to sit for sev-eral hours. Like the Greek dramas themselves, the ideal often gives way to the pragmatic.

“The Libation Bearers” by Aeschy-lus will be presented at the Wynne Black Box Theatre on the main campus of Indian River State Col-lege. The theater is located at 3209 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce.Performances are Sept. 26-28 at 7

p.m. and Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. Tick-ets are $15 or $10 for subscription holders.Tickets are available at the box

office or by phone. Call (800) 220-9915.

ing board praised staff for their quick thinking and extensive training. “I think that this is another

indication where Mr. Pickle and the entire staff is not only on top of these things, but is ahead of the curve, whether it is produc-tion or it is safety or whatever,” Vice Chairman Everett Child said. “Again, I personally commend you for keeping this up front.”

Kids were the stars at Steak & Stake for the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County ST. LUCIE WEST — A

star-studded crowd turned out for the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County’s Steak & Stake event Saturday, Sept. 7. The fundraising event was held at the Island Club in St. Lucie West from 6 to 9 p.m. A Law Firm of Schmitt, Cam-

bron and Reynolds P.L. was one of the sponsors for the evening which included a steak dinner provided by Outback Restaurant, a silent auction and entertain-ment with the Glee Club from the Boys & Girls Club. The event raised over $55,000. “I grew up in St. Lucie County

and the Boys & Girls Club is a vital part of helping our children achieve their full potential,” said

attorney Kelly Cambron and part-ner with the firm. “These are the types of programs we continue to support.” Eve Samples, Scripps newspa-

per columnist, and her husband, Scott, with Martin Memorial Health Systems, were present for the evening along with paralegals Tiffany Smiley and Jeniffer Rosa-do from Schmitt, Cambron and Reynolds. The Glee Club sang and after dinner the kids joined the adults on the dance floor to music played by a DJ.

For more information about A Law Firm of Schmitt, Cambron and Reynolds P.L. please visit www.femaleinjurylawyer.com or stop by their office at 1330 S. Federal Highway in Stuart. Their toll-free number is (866) 675-4427.
