Indian River Lagoon garners national attention

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Even amid the shadow of a government shutdown, concerned citizens managed to thrust the Treasure Coast’s toxic waterways into the national spotlight during a Capitol Hill briefing on the pollution plaguing the Indian River Lagoon. More than 20 state and federal law makers attended, including Minority

Leader of the U.S. House of Represen-tatives Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.“I think your being here and (Con-

gress’s) support for this, elevates this to national significance,” Pelosi said to close to 200 “River Warriors” who trav-eled by bus and plane to have their voices heard at the meeting.Pelosi was able to see first-hand just

how toxic the water has become by viewing a Gatorade bottle filled with the murky lagoon water U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, carries with him.“When Patrick Murphy presented me

that bottle, I wasn’t sure what was going on,” Pelosi said. “But when he told me what that water in fact was, it was shocking. One picture is worth a

Joe and Tammy grew up together in the small boarder town of Bluefield W. Va. a short hike and they would be in the small town of Bluefield Va. In the early days Tammy and Joe were inseparable, growing up in the same house with Joe always keep-ing a watchful eye on his younger niece, who was really more like a sister to him. Celebrat-ing birthdays and holidays together for many years. The two became like one, knowing what the other was thinking or about to say before they even said it. Joe would help Tammy with her school projects and Tammy would help Joe find his lost books or toys or help him wash his bike. They were a team then much like they are today. Now, Tammy helps Joe with most every aspect of the Hearing Center. Greeting the patients upon arrival with her sparkling personality, working with clients on the proper care and maintenance of their new hearing aids.

After 22 years in Law Enforcement Joe decided to refocus his career path. Joe knew he would need to be involved in helping people and searched for a new career that would allow him to move in that direction. Joe’s brother in law worked in the hearing healthcare field and after some considerable research Joe decided to move forward in the hearing healthcare field. After Joe completed his training and schooling he ended his highly decorated career in Law Enforcement and retired from the St. Lucie County Sheriff ’s Office. Joe was licensed in 2002 by the State of Florida as a Hearing Aid Specialist and opened his first practice in St. Lucie West in 2003 and today, continues to help people as he has done his entire professional career.

Tammy, in her career as a professional care giver, had seen far too many times the heartbreak of hearing loss. How the loss would impact not just the patient but the loved ones around them as well. Joe worked, went to school, studied and became a Florida State Licensed Hearing Aid Specialist. He knew that improving and restoring hearing to those in need would become his passion and his quest. He also knew that he could think of no one he would rather tackle this challenge with then his trusted best friend, Tammy. Today and for the past 11 years Joe and Tammy are giving back the gift of hearing to friends and neighbors from around the Treasure Coast.

PORT ST. LUCIE — A deadly July shooting outside of La Zen Nightclub has been ruled a case of self-defense, according to recently released documents from the Port St. Lucie Police Department.Alexander Robinson Jr., 22,

was killed by gunfire after an ar-gument inside La Zen nightclub spilled into the parking lot around the club’s closing time of 2 a.m. on July 31. Robinson, who was shot several times in the torso, was pronounced dead at St. Luc-ie Medical Center within the hour. La Zen, located just west of Flori-da’s Turnpike, closed its doors on Sept. 1 after the club’s lease ex-pired. The club’s owners are ex-pected to open a new night ven-ue in St. Lucie County within the next month.Daymion Omar Anderson, 29,

whose gunfire struck Robinson, was cooperative throughout the investigation, police spokesman Master Sgt. Frank Sabol said. A 9mm handgun was used in the altercation and multiple rounds were fired, Sabol said. Both men live in Port St. Lucie.Police applied for a manslaugh-

ter warrant, but it was denied by Assistant State Attorney Linda Baldree, records state.“This is a case of self-defense,”

Baldree wrote in a memo explain-ing the warrant’s denial.According to records, the alter-

cation started over spit from Rob-inson that landed on Anderson’s arm. The two men had a verbal argument about the spit near the club’s closing time. Anderson then decided to leave, the warrant affi-davit states.Anderson got in his car and start-

ed the engine. Robinson appeared at the driver’s side door before An-derson got a chance to close it, re-cords state.“Robinson then struck Anderson

with his fist in Anderson’s mouth two to three times,” the affidavit states. “He also told Anderson that he would not be leaving the

parking lot because he would be dead.”According to the report, Ander-

son’s car was surrounded by sev-eral men with Robinson. While Anderson was being punched, another of Robinson’s friends en-tered the passenger door. One brandished a knife and others talked about retrieving a gun from a car. That’s when Anderson got his gun out of the car’s center console, records state. Anderson said he used his gun because he feared for his life. Two witnesses corroborated Anderson’s account.“The defendant states that had

he been able, he would have closed the door, called the police and (waited) for them to arrive,” Baldree wrote. “He states that had he been able, he would have driv-en away from the altercation.”“Given the circumstances, the

defendant was justified in using deadly force as he was approached, threatened and then battered by five to six persons, who would not allow him to retreat,” Baldree wrote. “Based on the number of persons threatening him and their obvious intent to do him bodily harm, the defendant was justified in using deadly force to prevent any further attack.”Baldree’s notes state that after

the shooting, Anderson put his gun in his waistband and waited for police to arrive. When they did,

Your Independent Local Community Newspaper

Residents of the Treasure Coast, who make up the River Warriors, returned from Washington, D.C., where they sought solutions from local, state and federal government officials in cleaning the toxicity of the Indian River Lagoon while also seeking a plan of prevention for the future.

Mitch Kloorfainchief photographer

1,000 words, but that was utterly scary.”Pelosi said she stands behind

U.S. Reps. Murphy and Trey Radel, R-Fort Myers, who facilitated the briefing.“I just want to pay my respects,

offer my support and endorse what is happening here today,” Pelosi said.

Federal RoleU.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said

the Senate and House must unite and put party lines aside to save the state’s water.“We’ve got to pass a water bill, it’s

called the Water Resources Devel-opment Act, we passed it in the Senate and it’s got the Everglades restoration in there,” Nelson said to a roar of applause by audience members.Nelson, who urged residents to

never tire in their battle for clean water, recalled childhood memories of the Indian River Lagoon.

“I grew up on the Indian River,” Nelson said. “When I was a kid, it was clear. It ain’t now.”Murphy said he hopes to pass

the bill on the House side soon. He also commended the community for its tremendous showing.“I’m thrilled to see so many active

members of our community here, fighting alongside me to bring this issue to Congress,” the freshman representative said. “And it’s really because of all of you and your activism that we have this oppor-tunity.”Because of the government

shutdown, representatives from the Army Corps of Engineers were unable to attend. Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), was also absent due to the shutdown. Murphy assured the crowd a transcript of the brief-ing will be entered into the Con-gressional record to be delivered to every member of the House and Senate. A copy will also be deliv-ered to the Army Corps of Engi-neers and other federal officials, he

said.“There is no denying that an en-

vironmental crisis is taking place up and down the Indian River Lagoon,” Murphy said. “Record rainfall, out-of-date engineering and agricultural runoff are all contributing to the serious crisis in our waters.”The only way to fix the problem is

by cooperation among local, state and federal entities, Murphy said. Vital projects that need funding include the Indian River Lagoon South Project, improvements to the Herbert Hoover Dike, the purchase of agricultural land south of Lake Okeechobee, conserving land north of the lake, reduction of runoff and the promotion of water storage ini-tiatives with local farmers, he said.Radel, agreeing, said the environ-

ment and economy have an impact on each other.“I’m a firm believer that we in

Florida clearly understand that a healthy environment means a healthy economy,” Radel said as he described how areas in San-ibel and Cape Coral are being destroyed by releases from Lake Okeechobee. “It is something that we see and live by every, single day.”Among the steady flow of lawmak-

ers was U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Okeechobee. Rooney is a former Treasure Coast representative, whose previous district included the lagoon. Murphy and Rooney joined forces this year in drafting a letter urging the Obama adminis-tration to support funding for Ever-glades Headwaters National Refuge and Conservation.“Nothing would give me more

pleasure than to someday look back and say we’ve solved this problem,” Rooney said. “With Trey and Patrick taking the lead on this, our chances are better than ever.”

State RoleThroughout his testimony, State

Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, who called the Army Corps “the judge, the jury and the executioner,” said the Corps’ supreme power over Lake Okeechobee must be revoked.“I believe that the Army Corps’

stewardship of Lake Okeechobee, the St. Lucie Estuary and Caloo-sahatchee Estuary has been and continues to be a complete dismal, abject failure,” Negron said.He asked members of Congress to

revoke the Army Corps jurisdiction over Lake Okeechobee and turn the operation over to the state.“We have a 1 percent chance of

a breech. We have a 100 percent certainty where I live on the Trea-sure Coast that our estuary and our water body will be destroyed,” Negron said.The Army Corps should not be ex-

empt from the Clean Water Act ei-ther, Negron said. A goal to achieve is to have President Obama back to Palm City and St. Lucie County to tour the waterways and direct the Army Corps to abide by the law.Palm City resident Darrell Brand,

who lives on the C-23 canal, echoed Negron’s same sentiment during the public’s chance to ad-dress members of Congress. “If I were to dump those toxins

into those bodies of water, I would be fined and possibly arrested by numerous officials,” Brand said.Secretary Herschel Vinyard of

the Florida Department of Envi-ronmental Protection, said since Negron’s August hearing in Stuart, the Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District have partnered to divert 10 million gal-lons of water away from the Caloo-sahatchee and St. Lucie rivers.Gov. Rick Scott’s $40 million

pledge to speed up C-44 canal im-provements in Martin County is a step in the right direction, but the federal government isn’t following through because funding has dried up, Vinyard said.“The federal government, the

Corps of Engineers, don’t have the funding for their remaining piece ... If you all can find the funds for the Corps, that will pay big dividends for the people behind me,” Vinyard said.Ernie Barnett, Assistant Executive

Director of Everglades and Water Resources for the SFWMD, said

LAGOON from page 1

See LAGOON page 7


solutions include improvements to C-44 and C-23. Lake Okeechobee water must also be cleaned and diverted south, Barnett said. Since 1994, the SFWMD has invested $1.6 billion in water quality im-provements. The governor’s cur-rent water quality plan will provide an extra $880 million over the next 12 years to improve water quality, Barnett said. Other projects that must get done is the elevation of the Tamiami Trail and Kissimmee River projects. The frequency of Lake Okeechobee releases needs to be reduced and the water sent south, he added.“As a biologist, it breaks my heart

to see what happens to these estu-aries,” Barnett said.Dr. Tom Van Lent, a senior scien-

tist for the Everglades Foundation, said the lagoon faces two major problems.“One’s a water quantity problem

and one’s a water quality problem,” he said. “And it’s kind of important to separate the two, because when we come to Congress, we’re going to be focusing on that water quan-tity problem. That is the federal jurisdiction.”Unfortunately, the system is func-

tioning the way it was made to, Van Lent said.“They’ve re-engineerd and

replumbed the whole system so that now it primarily goes out the

St. Lucie Estuary. It was designed to work this way. That’s the sad fact,” Van Lent said.Mark Perry, executive director of

Florida Oceanographic Institute in Stuart, highlighted the devastation the Treasure Coast has endured because of the current system.Perry showed slides of algae

blooms and informed members of Congress that a record number of marine life has been sickened and killed in the polluted waters. Oys-ters, which purify water, have had a 99 percent mortality rate this year, Perry said.“They (algae blooms) are not

from septic tank runoff,” Perry said. “This is when we get fresh water runoff directly from Lake Okeechobee.”About 4,300 different species are

at risk, along with billions of dol-lars from tourism and jobs, Perry said.The fix lies in long-term solutions,

Van Lent said.“You’re just trying to squeeze a

few extra drops out of this lemon,” Van Lent said of short-term fixes.Long-term fixes include more land

to treat and send the flow south, local storage basins, projects to improve C-44 and C-43 and the completion of Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, which was launched in 2000.Talks about the SFWMD taking

control of the Herbert Hoover Dike from the Army Corps was a recur-ring theme throughout the four-hour meeting, held at the Rayburn House office building.“I wouldn’t buy that as is,” Vin-

yard said. “There is a significant amount of repairs that are need-ed and perhaps this would be a better discussion once some of the work has been done on the dike, because Floridians are at risk because of the condition of that dike.”

Local RoleThe only mention of Big Sugar

came from St. Lucie County Com-missioner Chris Dzadovsky, who testified during the public com-ment portion. He suggested nutri-ent reduction programs be enacted and reverse pumping of water from sugar land take place.“We’ve heard largely about water

quantity, but quality is equally as or more important as the quantity side of it,” Dzadovsky said. “Re-moving fertilizers and pesticides from water is largely what needs to occur.”During her testimony, Martin

County Commissioner Sarah Heard said the county has given $75 million to projects to imple-ment Everglades restoration and restore the Lagoon. Her plea was to state and federal lawmakers to

follow through on their end.“Our federal legislators across the

board, regardless of party affilia-tion, should support the Compre-hensive Everglades Restoration Plan,” Heard said. “You should not be timid or fearful to save the most important wetland ecosystem in the U.S. No one will find fault in you.”St. Lucie County Commissioner

Frannie Hutchinson said action must be swift.“We must act now,” Hutchinson

said. “The health of our coastal estuaries and the future of Ever-glades restoration is at stake.”Minutes after the meeting, Port

St. Lucie resident Nyla Pipes said she believes the decades-long issue may finally begin to be resolved.“We had their attention. The

fact that we had leader Pelosi in there and so many other fantastic congressmen and senators stop-ping by, especially considering that the government is currently shut down, is amazing to me,” Pipes said. “I really do think we have their attention, which tells me all our hard work is going to pay off.”Irene Nethery Gomes, owner of

the Driftwood Motel in Jensen Beach, has seen a 40 percent reduction in business. Gomes, who made the trip to Washington, D.C., said she was pleased lawmakers have opened their ears.“It was very exciting. I’ve never

for the deteriorating Indian River Lagoon.Most were departing from the

press triangle of the Capitol build-ing’s yard where an afternoon press conference held by U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, just concluded. The conference followed a congressional briefing on the pollution plight facing the lagoon.St. Lucie County Commissioner

Chris Dzadovsky said he smelled the unmistakable scent of gun powder in the air.Dzadovsky was walking with

Murphy toward the congressman’s office in the Longworth building.“At the end of the press confer-

ence, we were walking away from the area, as we were, Congress-man Murphy was ahead of me,” Dzadovsky said. “We heard prob-ably six to seven shots.”The commissioner feared for

Murphy’s safety.“My concern first was for Con-

gressman Murphy. He was directly in front of me and the shots came from that direction,” Dzadovsky said. “I was relieved to see him walking very quickly in my direc-tion and staff had him corralled, basically. I felt very comfortable that he was safe.”Police officers, already out pa-

trolling in large numbers, de-scended north within seconds.They told bystanders to move

quickly southward and take cover

indoors.“At that point, what I believe to

be Secret Service and Capitol Po-lice immediately whisked us away to the south and we evacuated as quickly as possible,” Dzadovsky said.Murphy remained calm during

the ordeal, taking a large role in leading his entourage to safety, Dzadovsky said.“The Congressman was certainly

concerned for the safety of others, but as importantly, he also knew he had to continue to move in the right direction. I was very proud of him and I was very proud of his staff,” he said.Murphy took to Facebook within

the hour to let the public know he was safe.“Thank you for the calls, emails,

and expressions of concern. My staff and I are all safe. We hope everyone is OK and thank the Capitol Police for keeping us safe,” Murphy wrote.Dzadovsky and other fellow Trea-

sure Coast residents sought refuge at a tavern on First Street, named Bullfeathers. There they learned from televised news reports that the barrage of bullets were fired from police who were in pursuit of a car that rammed the barriers of the White House just blocks away.A woman with her 1-year-old

daughter in her car was fatally shot by police on the north side of the Capitol building after the Oct. 3 car chase ended. It is suspect-ed the unarmed woman, identified as Miriam Carey, 34, of Stamford,

Conn., suffered from postpartum depression and other mental ill-nesses.The chase came just two weeks

after the Navy Yard shooting that claimed the lives of 12.Lagoon activist and Port St. Lucie

resident Nyla Pipes said her first call was to her father, who was several blocks north at the Hyatt Regency hotel.“I’m clear on the other side of the

Capitol building and we have no idea how we’re going to get back in that direction,” said Pipes, who was also at Bullfeathers.Fort Pierce resident Don Voss,

a Vietnam Army veteran who re-ceived a Purple Heart for injuries he sustained from a mortar at-tack, said he never felt he was in immediate danger.“Shots were fired, I’m a com-

bat veteran. They were shots. We heard them. It sounded like a series of two, maybe two rips of about seven shots each time. They (police) told us to go south, and south we went,” Voss said.“I knew it wasn’t pointed to-

ward us because it was a diluted sound.”Stuart native and Oviedo resi-

dent, Steve Edmonds, said the high adrenaline event happened in a flash.“We heard some shots and some

squealing (of tires). We saw some Capitol Police cars going crazy,” Edmonds said.“… Now that I’m looking at it, I’m

thinking, I hope it was taken care of and nobody was hurt.”

seen anything quite like this. I heard a lot of different opinions, people coming together,” Gomes said. “It’s a work in progress, we’ve got a long way to go and I think people are starting to listen. We’ve got national attention.”Like Hutchinson, Gomes said

funding for solutions must be se-cured quickly before it’s too late.“Hopefully we’ll put enough pres-

sure on to move it forward a little faster,” she said. “The problem I’m concerned about is the Indian River Lagoon dying before they get this put in place.”

From the politicians

“The fact that all of you are here is a tribute to how important the issue is. It’s a symbol of how important the issue is.” – House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

“It’s not just the lake water that’s causing all of the damage. There’s a lot of runoff around there. We need to clean it up.” – U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.

“I fished the Kissimmee River before it was changed. My po-sition is it would probably been better had we left it as it was and I find it fascinating that the Army Corps of Engineers is trying to

put it back to how God had put it in the first place.” – U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar

“I want to thank Patrick Mur-phy because he’s a brand-new member of Congress and has been effective from the start and comes with this youth and this knowledge of the environment and comes with this bipartisan spirit.” – House Minority Speak-er Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

The uncertainty of the last few years, undoubtedly has causedmost of us who love fine Antique jewelry to question the decisionswe have made in the past and forced us to re-examine our plans for the future. As we walk through our beautiful store assessing our inventory it’s not a problem to say unequivocally that my mentors were correct. Buy and own rare Antique or one of a kind pieces. It has given us more pleasure than money

sitting idly in a low-return bank account. It makes us happy to get up each day and see our beautiful, rare Antique treasures

instead of worrying how the Asian or European markets are doing currently, most of us are forced out of the conventional safe havens of banking or solid income producing assets. Many feel forced to still play the market. My mentors remembered the crash of the 1930’s. I too, do not want my happiness to rely on the old investments. I want to see and hold my assets. You can ask a few economists to look at the same data and they will come to a radically different opinions about the future of our economy. Fred & I are very optimistic & feel this great country will have a wonderful future. Always remember rare, beautiful jewels have stood the test of time. I am not an expert on economics but I am an

expert of Fine Antique & custom Jewelry. That’s why I have devoted our talent, passion & energy to our business. If you are considering

selling Great Grandmother’s wonderful Antique Jewels, we are always interested in buying. If you are contemplating acquiring a rare piece.... Please come see us.Terry & Fred

Additional case of dengue fever found as area waits for answers

TREASURE COAST — The Flori-da Department of Health in Mar-tin County recently confirmed an additional case of dengue fever, bringing the total to 21 locally acquired cases in the Rio and Jensen Beach area. “This case dates back to the

middle of June and was not part of the community survey,” health officials said in a press release.The new case comes on the heels

of the department’s wrap up of a community survey on the mos-quito-borne illness. The 10-day survey was conducted in the Rio and Jensen Beach area from Sept. 13 through Sept. 22.During the survey, teams from

the Florida Department of Health, consisting of health workers from

surrounding counties, visited approximately 2,000 random-ly selected addresses in the Rio and Jensen Beach area. They provided information on dengue fever and with consent, collected

a blood sample for dengue fever analysis. In all, approximately 360 samples were collected, offi-cials said. Wet weather and va-cant homes in the area presented some challenges to the teams, officials added.“I think the big problem was

there were so many snowbird properties,” said Dr. Karlette Peck, health officer for the Florida Department of Health in Martin County.The vacant homes have been

treated and inspected daily by Martin County Mosquito Control for the last six to eight weeks, Peck said.“Mosquito Control did a valiant

job of knocking these mosqui-toes down,” Peck said. She added workers have not found any of the species of mosquitoes that transmit the virus in their traps.Approximately 30 to 40 percent

of residents approached for the survey participated, Peck said.“I think the idea of getting your

blood drawn is not appetizing to a lot of people,” she said.The Florida Department of

Health is now conducting analy-ses of the information and sam-ples from the survey. Residents who participated in the survey are expected to receive notifica-tion of results in the next few weeks. Testing takes approxi-mately one month, Peck said. Re-sults should give experts insight into how far dengue fever has spread into the area, she added.

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.“Those mosquitoes will breed

in something as little as a ta-blespoon of water,” Peck said. “They’re also house mosquitoes and kind of lazy. They don’t fly a lot.”Peck said the only way to elim-

inate the prolific blood suckers is to tip and toss yard items like bird baths and buckets where the mosquitoes breed.In some cases, the Aedes al-

bopictus mosquito has also transmitted the disease. Both of these mosquitos are found in large numbers in Martin and St. Lucie counties.Locally acquired dengue is rare

in the U.S. Prior to the 21, 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.

Editor’s note: This story was written Monday, Oct. 7. It’s pos-sible that there have been signif-icant developments since press time. For up-to-date information about the Department of Veterans Affairs during the federal govern-ment’s shutdown, visit va.gov, and see the “Veterans Field Guide to Government Shutdown,” or related pages.

TREASURE COAST — It might not feel like it to many, but the federal government shutdown can hit the Treasure Coast in a lot of ways. Examining just one is look-ing at 37,500 veterans living in St. Lucie and Martin counties. “(I’m getting) lots of phone calls,”

Wayne Teegardin, manager of St. Lucie County’s Veteran Services Office, said. “The first question they ask is, ‘Is my check still go-ing to be here?’” Congressman Patrick Murphy,

Democrat from Jupiter repre-senting Florida’s 18th District, is getting that question a lot, too. He got an email from a St. Lucie veteran that captured the uncer-tainty and frustration many are feeling. “(The veteran) said, ‘I’m literal-

ly about to go on food stamps,” Murphy said in a telephone inter-view. On Oct. 4 he read that email on

the floor of the House of Repre-sentatives. “‘I am currently receiving (De-

partment of Veterans Affairs) disability (compensation) for service-connected injuries, or at least I was before the government shutdown yesterday,’” Murphy read. “‘I rely on my disability to survive and now I don’t even know when the next payment will arrive.’” Murphy’s office declined to iden-

tify the veteran beyond “Joshua.” The email’s author served in the Navy until a few months ago, the Congressman’s office said. The answers to the veterans’

questions about the shutdown means more than $9.5 million a month for the two counties. The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs — which isn’t associated with the federal veterans depart-ment — reports that St. Lucie and Martin counties have nearly 37,600 veterans among them col-

lectively receiving about $115.8 million a year in pensions and benefits. That doesn’t include the federal dollars that flow into the area through VA programs such as medical facilities. For example, there’s a Communitiy-Based Out-patient Clinic in Fort Pierce. Murphy recently joined with

other Florida representatives in approving legislation that’d large-ly insulate the VA from cutbacks during the shutdown and likely upcoming debt-ceiling showdown. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has warned that if the Congress doesn’t raise the federal borrow-ing limit by around Oct. 17, some of the government’s bills will go unpaid and programs unfunded. “They put their lives at risk, they

served our country, and I’m em-barrassed by the way our govern-ment is behaving now,” Murphy said. That bill, which had other pro-

visions, would have to pass the Senate and get President Barack Obama’s signature to be law. At press time, Democratic leader-ship in the Senate is refusing to consider individual spending bills from the House, insisting instead for a complete continuing reso-lution to keep the federal govern-ment fully operational. What’s not at any risk for shut-

ting down until next October is the Veterans Health Adminis-tration, VHA, said Joe Violante, legislative director of the Disabled American Veterans. “If we are in a long-term govern-

ment shutdown, the only thing that won’t be affected for veterans will be their healthcare,” he said in a telephone interview. That’s because the VA health-

care system receives advance appropriations from Congress. Ray Kelley, national legislative di-rector of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the VHA’s advance appropriations — which were enacted by Congress in 2009 to shield veterans health care from federal budget battles, such as the current shutdown — is more than a big IOU. “VA has money in the bank,”

Kelly said in a phone interview. “That advance appropriation carved off some money and put it in the bank.” But, to get VA healthcare, vet-

erans must apply for it. Their claims go to the Veterans Bene-fits Administration, VBA, which

doesn’t receive advanced funding. Nick Ciotti, veterans service offi-cer for Martin County, said that by press time, he’d noticed no differences at VBA. “They said at the (VA St. Pe-

tersburg Regional Office), it’s not open to outside people, but per-sonnel are still there,” he said in a phone interview. “Business as usual for them, as I understand it.” For now. Murphy said that even a short

federal shutdown can have disas-trous consequences on the VA’s infamous claims backlog. “I don’t think the pensions and

benefits will stop flowing,” he said in the phone interview. “I do fear new claims not getting processed and that backlog growing again. They’ve worked so hard to get that down.” That’s a concern for Teegardin

as well, no matter how smooth things seem to be running for now. “(The regional office is) answer-

ing the phone,” he said. “They’re estimating that if this goes on, this is impacting the claims back-log. It’s slowing them down on the backlog and that, of course, slows new claims.” Collette Burgess, public affairs

officer at the VA’s St. Petersburg

office, which receives claims filed in St. Lucie and Martin counties, said no matter what happens with the government shutdown and possible debt-ceiling battles, the VA has funding for process-ing claims and making payments for compensations and pensions, along with educational and vo-cational rehabilitation programs, until late October. However, the VA has cut its expenses. “We are not working overtime,”

she said. “Due to the shutdown, the Veterans Benefits Administra-tion will not be able to continue overtime for claims processors.” Violante said that’s how the

shutdown is going to pain vet-erans even if it’s short. In May, the VA mandated overtime for its claims adjusters to reduce the claims backlog. “Right now VA has some essen-

tial personnel able to process claims,” Violante said. “They’ve cut out overtime. That was one of the vehicles they were using to attack this backlog.” A couple years ago, the VBA

had about a million claims that had awaited decisions for more than six months at any given time. Aggressive efforts, including the mandated overtime, greatly reduced that number to less than half by the end of the federal government’s 2012-2013 fiscal year, Sept. 30. In an email, Vio-lante said that last fiscal year the

SHUTDOWN from page 17

VBA processed almost 1.2 million claims, or about 12 percent more than it had the two previous fis-cal years. In September alone, the VBA processed 129,488 claims. Some claims are initially denied,

for various reasons, but veterans have options for appealing those decisions. That’s stopped for now. “During the shutdown, no deci-

sions on claims appeals will be issued by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals,” Burgess said. Violante said veterans have

been harmed by stalled progress in many areas for the last few years, because of the legislative and executive branches’ seeming-ly unending budget stalemates, sequestration and continuing resolutions to keep the federal government in operation. “Even running the government

on continuing resolutions, which they’ve done for years now, cre-ates a hardship,” he said. “Veter-ans and their families are feeling immediate impacts from this.” While it’s largely symbolic, per-

haps the most visible effect of the shutdown on veterans has been on those visiting the World War II Memorial at the National Mall. It’s closed during the shutdown, but Honor Flight veterans have famously defied the closure to visit the monument. Two area Honor Flight hubs plan

to take World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., in October. The Southeast Florida Honor Flight, which covers the Treasure Coast, has a flight planned for Oct. 19. It didn’t respond to inter-view requests by press time. Murphy said it was important to

get the government and memorial reopened. “To think that because of our

petty arguments, because we can’t get along, that (veterans) can’t experience this,” he said in

a personal interview. “I forgot the exact number, but there are hun-dreds if not thousands of (World War II) vets dying a day. The longer this goes on, these petty fights, the more folks that aren’t going to see these memorials.” Some representatives have par-

ticipated in civil disobedience at the memorial. For example, Con-gressman Bill Posey, a Republi-can whose district is just north of Murphy’s, has posted pictures of himself on Facebook moving bar-ricades from the National World War II Memorial. Kelley said the VFW appreciates the sentiments of representatives who’ve made such public protests and appear-ances with veterans at the memo-rial, but would prefer they stay at the Capitol and work out an end to the shutdown. “It does frustrate us,” he said.

“Really, you shut down the gov-ernment and you’re going to go down to the World War II Memo-rial like you’re doing something terrific?” he said. Violante said during the shut-

down, the DAV leadership is generally steering clear of public appearances with members of Congress. “We’ve been trying to stay out of

the politicking going on on both sides of the aisle, wanting to se-lectively pay for this or that,” he said. During the shutdown, Murphy is

donating his congressional pay to the Renewal Coalition, a veterans reintegration program in Jupiter. A press release said he’s doing so because federal employees aren’t getting paid. The House has passed bills to

retroactively pay federal employ-ees after the shutdown.

Reporter Nicole Rodriguez contrib-uted to this story.

“I do fear new claims not getting processed and that backlog growing again. They’ve worked

so hard to get that down.”

The 21 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 in-fected mosquito and include sud-den onset of fever, severe head-ache, eye pain, muscle and joint pain and bleeding, according 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.Peck hopes that preventative

measures like eliminating breed-ing areas and residents using mosquito repellant will help pre-vent another outbreak.“Residents cannot become com-

placent,” she said.

Flintstones.” There is truly some-thing for everyone.John Southall is director of

bands and leads the Blue, Gar-net and Combined Jazz Ensem-bles. Putting this multifaceted

concert together by the middle of October was a challenge.“The first day of classes was

Aug. 26,” he said. “We have seven weeks to create an entire two-act performance that’s 90 minutes in length. It’s not a lot of time. We meet with each group

only two times a week for 90 minutes.”The program will feature re-

turning and new students. For new instrumental students, there are auditions to determine where they will play. For vocal students, it’s listening to the new singers to assign them to the correct vocal range. Southall is quick to point out

that even though the program is put together quickly, quality doesn’t suffer.“It’s performance of high stan-

dards,” he said. “The audience is very supportive of the performing and visual arts department at the college.” Students will present the con-

certs on Thursday-Saturday, including a Saturday matinee.“When we give a concert, we

have to give four performanc-es,” Southall said. “We refer to it fondly as Thursday, Friday and two-show Saturday.”In addition to the novelty num-

bers, the program includes some standards. The Combined Jazz Ensembles will play Rodgers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine” and the Gershwins’ “I Got Rhythm;” The Company Male Ensemble will sing “Heartbreak Hotel” and “I Have a Dream;” The Company Ladies Ensemble will perform Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts;” the Blue Jazz Ensemble will perform Axl Rose’s “Welcome to the Jungle;” and the Garnet Jazz ensemble will stage Lennon and McCartney’s “Eleanor Rigby.” While concert preparation is

certainly important, Southall, who is also coordinator of music education, is always mindful of student priorities.“Their primary focus is their

education,” he said. “Many of our students are recipients of depart-ment scholarships. They have to audition and have a certain level of musicianship. They can retain the scholarship for two years but they can lose it if they fall below in their grades.”To help new students adjust,

they are often paired with older students. An incoming clarinet student might be paired with a

second-year clarinet student for support.“The (performing) arts is a

unique discipline,” Southall said. “It’s more like a big family. We constantly look after each oth-er and support each other. In instrumental music, I stress the importance of understanding that if one person fails, we all fail. “Our task is to help anyone

who needs a little coaching or encouragement. The students interact socially. They’re learning to be good citizens and to work cooperatively with others.”

Indian River State College’s band and vocal music students will present a variety concert, “This One’s For You,” on Oct. 17-19 at the McAlpin Fine Arts Center, 3209 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce. Performances are Oct. 17-19 at 7

p.m. and Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 or $10 for subscription holders. Call the box office at 1 (800) 220-9915.The Wind Ensemble will present

a holiday concert on Dec. 5-7 as part of the subscription series.Non-subscription programs

include a choir concert on Dec. 8 and a Wind Ensemble concert on April 13.
