PLANNING A TRIP?

ST LUCIE COUNTY – One of the biggest county fairs on the Treasure Coast will be in town as the St. Lucie County Fair opens Feb. 23. The event runs through March 4 and has a range of activities that offer fun for all ages and interests.

“We did a lot of infrastructure upgrades here, with the small-animal building opening two years ago and this year we did some upgrades in draining and electrical areas,” said Jeanne Keaton, St. Lucie County Fair general manager. “That might be kind of hidden from the public, but it’s necessary.”

Among the host of entertainment options for the fair are the PRCA Rodeo on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 23 and 24, which is free with gate admission, and the demolition derby on Saturday, March 3 at 6 p.m. The Budweiser Clydesdales will be on hand during the fair and there is a “Show Me Safari” and petting zoo for children.

There is a nearly full-sized train in one building, which is called the “Ag Train,” and children can pretend they’re the engineer or in the caboose, which is a great photo op for families. “Just in the last few months, since we installed it, the kids are having a blast on it,” Ms. Kea-ton added.

Among the acts that will appear throughout the fair will be daily shows from Lady Houdini, the Cactus Moon Line Dancers, Kickin’ It Country and Reggie’s Girls, while hypnotist Chris Mabrey will offer fun shows and bands such as The Dweebs, guitarist Lloyd Mabrey and Judge Talford will hit the stage as special musical guests. Daily showtimes for all these events can be found at the main website.

“The Dweebs sing songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s and they’re extremely interactive with the crowd, so we’re going to hear some fun songs from those eras

County Fair starting Feb. 23By Gaylon [email protected]

that we can sing and dance along to,” Ms. Keaton said. “They have really cool cos-tumes, and it’s really an eye-catcher and an ear-catcher.

“Judge Talford is a bluegrass that com-bined 70s and 80s rock, it’s very unique to hear Journey and Bon Jovi and these bands played with fiddles, banjos and different musical instruments. They harmonize like there’s no tomorrow.”

The “Pork Chop Downs” pig races will again make their appearance and Nick’s Kids Show will delight youth audiences for its second-consecutive year. ShenaniGun’s family entertainment will feature a wild-west show and nine-foot-tall Rocket the Robot will be patrolling the fair throughout.

“We have a variety of entertainment, and it’s something we take pride in here,” Ms. Keaton said. “All our entertainment is free with gate admission, whether it’s the PRCA Rodeo or the demolition derby, so when you’re here you’ve got fun.”

Those attending can save money on advance tickets, with an adult gate/armband combo going for $17 and a child gate/arm-band combo for $12. For other armband and admission deals, visit the fair’s website.

Parking is free, and the fair is located at the intersection of Midway Road and Okeechobee Road.

St. Lucie County opts to work with state to ensure water quality protections in place for composting project at Sunbreak Farms

FORT PIERCE -- St. Lucie County will now work with the Florida Department of Environ-mental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District to oversee modifications to the environment resource permit for the Sun-break Farms Type I Biosolids Management Facility instead of openly opposing the project in court.

The County Commission voted unanimously Feb. 6 to drop its challenge to the FDEP issuance

of the permit, which currently enables the 6,000-acre project straddling the border between St. Lucie and Indian River counties to begin mixing treated human waste with yard and agricultural waste to create compost for its corn crops. During that meeting, the county’s outside legal counsel, Tallahassee-based environmental law attorney David Dee, told commissioners he believed the judge overseeing the formal eviden-tiary hearing scheduled for April might not favor the county after further researching the matter.

“To prepare for that trial, the CDM staff and I and the county staff would need to spend a sub-stantial amount of time between now and then preparing for trial,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s my estimation, based on prior experi-ence with similar cases, we could easily spend $100,000 or more on that effort. In light of the information we obtained over the last six or seven months… I came away with the conclu-sion that the county is not likely to win that

case.”Mr. Dee believes the county should focus

instead on Sunbreak’s need to modify its existing environment resource permit, which is designed to evaluate surface water impacts of activities proposed on a particular parcel of land.

“Given the fact the Water Management Dis-trict is going to be looking at water quality issues -- and that is the primary concern of the Com-mission and the staff -- the options that became apparent to us are you could move forward with the litigation or address our concerns with the District and make sure they appropriately regu-lated Sunbreak Farms and established monitor-ing requirements,” he explained. “We could at least ensure that Sunbreak’s proposed plan of operation would indeed comply with the appli-cable state and local standards. From my per-spective based on my legal experience, I believe it’s not a good investment of your time and

money to proceed with the DEP permitting process. I believe it would be more cost effective and more fruitful to work with the Water Management District on the front end to address the county’s concerns about water quality.”

CDM Smith engineering consultant Jill Grimaldi, who along with Mr. Dee helped the county craft and pass its Commercial Composting Ordinance last summer, con-curred with that assessment.

“I think the best approach would be to refocus our efforts on water quality through the ERP program, and those concerns stem from the fact that this project sits within a protected watershed,” she said. “The exist-ing ERP that dates back to the Minute Maid/Coca Cola Grove days has the potential to discharge about 190,000 gallons a minute from that site into the C-25 Canal, which is an impaired water body for nutrients. So we really want to make sure that they’re not compounding the problem by adding nutri-ents to that impaired water body, and the ERP program is the appropriate place to do that.”

PGA Village Board of Directors represen-tative Carol Anderson was the only member of the public to speak on the matter, a stark comparison to other meetings in recent years when dozens of PGA and St. Lucie West residents packed the chambers to pro-test CompostUSA’s desire to build a com-posting facility in the county. The Commis-sion ultimately passed its Commercial Composting Ordinance a year or so after

the company withdrew its application, and during the time discovered Sunbreak Farms request to be exempt from the ordinance under Florida’s Protect the Farms Act. Ms. Anderson said she and the residents stand behind the county’s decision to work with the state rather than take the farm to court.

“We realize we need to balance agricul-tural business needs with residential health and safety needs,” she said. After careful consideration, we want to make sure that you know we support your proposal tonight to withdraw the petition and shift the focus of the modification you need to make to the South Florida Water Management District. We’re not going to stand in your way at all: I think you’re making the right decision.”

Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky said he understands the concerns of so many resi-dents because drain-off into the C-25 Canal feeds directly into the Indian River Lagoon.

“The citizens have been very clear to say they want to take action upstream to avoid the cost of taking it out downstream,” he said.

Commissioner Cathy Townsend expressed her personal thanks to Ms. Anderson and the PGA residents that pro-vided their input during the process.

“I know the residents out there have been vocal,” she said. “It’s because of people like you that care about the community… it helps us educate the community in letting them know that it’s more than just sitting up here and making a vote. There’s a lot of due diligence that goes into the process. I know that you at the PGA have rallied and held us accountable in the transparency and in making an informed decision in doing what’s best for everybody.”

FORT PIERCE -- Lincoln Park Academy Senior Haniya Shareef was named a finalist in the Regeneron Science Talent Search. The competition is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors.

Crazy drivingAfter living here for over 35 years I won-

der about the crazy driving that has occurred in the last few years. Years ago if you traveled 50 mph on US 1 you flowed with the traffic. Now you are run off the road. I know the traffic has increased but that's not the reason. Drivers cut in front and force in front of you and many go over 55 mph. Why? Because they get away with it. And why? Because there is no road patrol by the police or sheriff. It is almost non exis-tent and about the only time you see patrol cars is when they are traveling back and forth to headquarters. Call the chief and sheriff and tell them about this. They could pay for the patrols with the fines.

Someone should be held responsible for the deaths of Santia and Britney on Feb. 6th. Would the doctors have approved of a 1,000+ mile trip to Florida in the tourist season? Was the RV inspected? Does the 98-year-old driver have close relatives who should have taken his keys away from him years ago? Don't say he needed to get around. There are lots of cabs, buses, and private individuals who would drive him for gas money, etc. Money saved on insurance and gas would cover lots of shopping trips. Driving an RV at his age - a catastrophe waiting to happen, and it did!

Check writingReferring to the rant 'mentally challenged

or inconsiderate check writers'. Amazing in our society that someone can get so annoyed at an individual inconvenience as to label that person as possibly mentally challenged. What a superiority complex. At least (in public forum) the thoughtmaster has updat-ed his terminology from the old "what a

r*tard!" Real nice.

Traffic control – really?In recent months PSL West installed a

new traffic control system along SLW Blvd. The intent was to afford the public a better traffic flow on this overcrowded artery.

I have no idea how much the city spent for this new system. The results to the aver-age driver have been suspect. I do believe that there has been changes in the way that the traffic is being controlled. Personally I have not experienced enough positive results to say that this investment was worthwhile. Having a thoroughfare that is handling multiple times the amount of traf-fic which it can handle efficiently is more than new timing of traffic lights can resolve. There are simply too many cars and what is needed to truly improve the flow simply cannot be done either financially or other-wise. If the cameras at the various cross-street intersections are still playing a role in the timing of the lights then I stand to be convinced. I have seen far too many situa-tions where the left turn leads allow 4 or 5 cars to go through leaving an additional 10 or more to wait in line. I have also seen situ-ations where there were no cars on either side of the cross street and the light turned green for this street and went through a very long cycle with still no cars Drivers are accustomed to having the left turn leads come on immediately after the cross traffic has stopped. The new system apparently has been developed to alter that procure from one light cycle to another. I’m sure the engi-neers can explain how this is a much better system but the results have not met the claims. One factor is potentially dangerous since the drivers awaiting the left turn lead to come on will sometimes anticipate that it will do so as it always has done and start their turn prior to the lead actually activat-ing. This I, of course, wrong, but I have seen

Sergeant Parrett was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer earlier last year. Family and friends are organizing fundraisers to help the family cover the rising medical costs. The next fundraiserwill be held at The Twisted Tuna, 4290 SE Salerno Road in Port Salerno on Saturday, March 3, from noon-5 p.m. For more information, please visit https://www.gofundme.com/sgt-bryan-parrett-cancer-fund.

this happen several times. I don’t know if this is a case of “the road to hell…” but the expected results are simply not there.

At this time of year when the kids are in school and the snow birds are with us the amount of traffic on SLW Blvd can be terri-ble, in particular during the two rush hours and around lunch time. The city can do little to alleviate this situation, although I am in the hopes the Crosstown Parkway exten-sion, when completed, will help.

I would question the due diligence given to purchasing the new control system. Was

this a realistic attempt to actually help the situation or a “normal” procedure where our decision-makers were simply placating to the masses? It is easy for me to make comments based on hindsight but I would have thought the city engineers could have provided a realistic projection of how much assistance this new control system would actually be able to provide. Adding another traffic lane to the eastbound and westbound lanes would be the best resolution but I don’t see that happening for a lot of reasons.

Way to go!!

A star student

FORT PIERCE -- The general manager of Indian Hills Golf Course managed to stay upbeat during his update to the City Com-mission on the struggling facility in spite of some negative comments about its continued drain on the city budget.

General Manager Danny Visconti told commissioners Feb. 5 he’d set two goals and implemented several new strategies since the city lured the former PGA professional away from the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie last October. His first goal was to recapture membership lost over the last few years and the second was to provide a wel-coming environment for golfers of all ages and ability levels. In order to do so, he revamped the membership rates in order to encourage golfing all year rather than focus-ing on seasonal residents during the high sea-son.

“We instituted a membership in October that was $40 for a City of Fort Pierce resident, $60 for a Florida resident and $75 for a Flori-da resident,” he said. “It’s totally different than what we had in the past. The old membership went anywhere between $100 to $300 and was really geared around the winter months; once we were past April, there really was no posi-tive cash flow. Last year we sold 97 of those in total, but this year with the new membership categories, we have sold 385 of those, so it’s a drastic change in recapturing our guests and our members.”

The new golf fees represent a 20 percent reduction in the rack rate when golfers play through the course of the day, so he said they haven’t created a significant revenue base but have helped created a huge round-of-golf base.

“So through yesterday,” he added, “we’re up 4,400 rounds over last year [during] the same period. Last year we were just over 13,000 rounds from the first of January, and this year it’s 17,400 over that stretch.”

Rounds of golf are not the only thing up since Mr. Visconti took over the reins at Indi-an Hills. Other revenue sectors have also shown improvement.

“I did a little recap of the last quarter of 2017,” he added. “Rounds were up 3,186 over last year for October through December; merchandise sales in the pro shop were up $4,200; food, snacks and alcohol were up $6,870; and our total revenue was up approxi-mately $25,000 over our first fiscal quarter.”

Mr. Visconti’s report helped fulfill a request by Commissioner Reginald Sessions who interrupted the report to have the director introduce himself to anyone in the chambers who might not know he’d come onboard late last year.

“Give us hope,” Commissioner Sessions said. “Keep hope alive.”

The commissioner referred to the disillu-sionment expressed by many city residents and some of his fellow commissioners over the last few years at the failure of the course to become financially viable. Last August, the Commission unanimously approved a new $567,476.00 maintenance contract for the 2017-18 fiscal year they hoped would stream-line operations and get the municipal course off life support. During the course of that meeting, Mayor Linda Hudson expressed frustration that the course purchased for $200,000 in 2002 has continued to cost the taxpayers so much money. Indian Hills has lost $2.5 million over the last 10 years, with the city having to shore up its budget with nearly $3.2 million out of the general fund. Public support for the facility has held steady,

however, with nearly 50 residents attending a March hearing on the future of the course asking the city to continue its sponsorship.

As of August last year, the city had shelled out nearly $230,000 to help keep the course afloat. Right after Mr. Visconti’s presentation Feb. 5, the Commission approved a $358,000 transfer from the General Fund to Indian Hills to alleviate a current funding shortage, but not before Commissioner Sessions asked the city clerk to pull it from the consent agen-da for discussion.

“We’re talking over a quarter of a million dollars on something that has not been pro-ductive for us in the past in terms of generat-ing revenue, and I just wanted to go on record to say that we’re going to have to make a 360 in terms of a difference, at least from my per-spective anyway with this golf course,” he said. “It’s kind of hard to swallow this pill when you look at the predicament of the infrastructure here in the City of Fort Pierce and the roads and the conditions of the roads.”

Commissioner Sessions did reaffirm his backing for Mr. Visconti’s efforts on improv-ing the facility but insisted it needed to become more self sufficient after the manner of the Sunrise Theatre.

“I’ve heard nothing but positive things about you and your operations,” he said directly to Mr. Visconti. “But, from a realistic standpoint, you know how this has impacted us financially. This has got to be something from my perspective that’s going to generate some revenue and make us some money around here.”

For his part, Commissioner Jeremiah John-son asked Mr. Visconti to list both a positive and negative thing related to the current state of Indian Hills. The former golf pro said cus-tomers were noticing all the improvements of

new equipment and landscaping -- the posi-tive -- but the negative would obviously require an infusion of capital to be trans-formed into a positive.

“I would say the negative would be the lack of a clubhouse,” he explained. “You know usu-ally when you come off the golf course and you’re out there for four hours, you’d like to have a nice sandwich and some kind of a cold beverage, so I think that’s probably the num-ber one thing. And even outside of golf, I think it handcuffs us a little bit. We could have functions, breakfast meetings, even out-ings. We’d be able to really capture quite a few outings in the area, but it’s a little prohibitive when it’s a 100 degrees out and you’re sitting on a screened-in porch in the back.”

Commissioner Rufus Alexander wanted to ensure the golf course manager was reaching out to area schools and other organizations to groom a new generation of golfers, so Mr. Visconti detailed those efforts as well.

“With the junior golf programs through the Police Athletic League, the Boys and Girls Clubs and the Pace Center for Girls, we aver-age somewhere between 400 and 500 attend-ees through the course of the year,” he said. “There are approximately 90 classes with six to eight children in each class. For the City Championship, we reached out to Fort Pierce Central to provide for a no-charge exemption for those kids at the Fort Pierce Central Golf Team.”

Commissioner Thomas Perona asked Mr. Visconti to provide another update after three months have passed.

“Since this is in progression, I’d like to invite you back maybe in 90 days and kind of give us another update,” he said. “We need to feel good about where we’re going and know the direction that we’ve been.”

With everybody getting his or her yards ready for spring 2018, the one thing everybody wants in

their yards is color. Color is one of the main elements that make your yard stand out. One of the most practical ways is through the use of roses. Roses are beautiful flowers that symbolize love and friendship. Imagine yourself entertaining your friends in a lovely alcove surrounded by colorful flowers. Roses are relatively easy to grow and are a great choice because they will often grow where other flowers won’t because of Florida’s intense summer sun.

Roses can be successfully planted in either containers or in the ground. In either case, the plants should be in well-drained soil in a sunny location. If you plant your treasures in the ground, be sure the soil drains well. Dig a hole about 15 – 18 inches wide and eighteen inches deep. Put a layer of gravel on the bottom of the hole. This is to allow drainage so water drains away from the root system. The same would apply if you plant your roses in a container. The next step is to prepare the soil you are going

to use to plant your roses. You should use a mix of a good quality potting soil with around half the mixture composed of organic matter such as mulch or peat. You can also use some bone meal with your soil mixture. Now, it’s finally time to plant your prize. Carefully remove the plant from its original container. Place the plant in your prepared hole so the top of soil layer on the plant is the same level as the surrounding soil. Fill the gap underneath the plant with your prepared soil mixture. Now, fill the gaps around the remaining parts of the plant and pack down lightly. You are now ready to water in your newly planted rose.

OK, you finally have your roses planted and they are bursting with color, now you need to do some periodic maintenance to

maintain that beauty. Since we live in such a humid climate, certain diseases such as black powdery mildew and black spot can both be a common problem. Both diseases are much easier to control if you prevent them happening in the first place. Once established, both are very difficult to get rid of. Although there are many products on the market that are used for disease control on roses, Orthenex reigns as the king. The product controls not only diseases but also controls insect infestation as well. If you are interested in an all-natural cure for fungus, how about baking soda. That’s right, baking soda. Plain ordinary baking soda added at the rate of 3 teaspoons per gallon of water. You then can add a small amount of mild dish detergent to the mix to act as a spreader sticker. This will work as a preventive measure but will not work well if an infection is present. Be sure not to make your mix too strong as damage to your roses could result.

With all the remedies that we have at our disposal for controlling rose problems, probably the best way is prevention. One

way is to avoid watering late in the day so the leaves of the plant do not stay wet all night. Also it is important to have good soil drainage.

Roses are heavy feeders and like a good supply of food. Roses should be fed at least once a month. You can use a good quality commercial food or you can use your own mix, which should consist of 1 cup of bone meal, 1-cup cottonseed meal, one-half cup blood meal, one-half cup fishmeal and one-half cup Epsom salts. You can spread this mix around each plant and then water in. With a little care and cooperating weather conditions, you can have a Spring garden that is the envy of the neighbor-hood. So wait no more, the cold weather is gone and the Florida Spring is here so get gardening!

What do the presidents eat? Presidents Day is Monday and, as a

chef, my curiosity is not only about their history or politics.

What I want to know is what did the presidents like to eat? Did you know the president pays for his own groceries aside from the state functions? The dinners served at the White House are not a reflection of what the presidents like to eat, it is the foods served for formal dinners directed by protocol and visiting dignitar-ies.

The president’s personal meals, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner eaten in private, are a collection of foods that represents the times, heritage, background and personal tastes of his family. Most were common down-to-earth cooking, except for Thomas Jefferson. He was not only the author of the Declaration of Independence, but an avid food gourmet, introducing many new foods to America.

George Washington, often associated with the cherry tree, really did like cherries and other fruits, nuts and seafood. Many presidents had lavish dinner parties, but the most elaborate occurred during Honest Abe’s administration. Historical records show President Lincoln was a hearty eater, but indifferent to food. Raised on a farm, he would eat whatever was put in front of him, never complaining. Obviously, Ms. Lincoln, coming from a wealthy family, influenced the state meals and opulent banquets.

Ulysses S. Grant was a man of simple tastes, so he brought with him a quarter master corps cook to the White House. This

didn’t last long because, being an army cook, the quarter master would prepare meals like those for an army barracks. A chef from one of the major hotels was hired to replace him and a period of gourmet meals returned to the White House.

Teddy Roosevelt had definite opinions on food. The food must be simple and healthy. He was very fond of chicken, eating a whole chicken with four glasses of milk. He also had a sweet tooth and stirred seven lumps of sugar into a cup of coffee.

The foods Franklin Delano Roosevelt liked were a little harder to find, because Eleanor Roosevelt would decide the foods to be eaten. They would be simple and unpredictable at times, even serving the English royal family hot dogs!

Dwight D. Eisenhower was an accom-plished cook and he would often cook for the family. Soups were one of his favorite dishes. He wrote two cookbooks and kept a hot plate in his office to cook when he felt like it.

John F. Kennedy’s White House returned to the times of Jefferson with all French cuisine, because of Ms. Kennedy.

There are so many stories to share, but here are a few facts I found interesting:

Richard Nixon loved meatloaf, Lyndon B. Johnson brought Texas style BBQ to the White House, Ronald Reagan loved jelly beans, George W. Bush is a pretzel lover, Bill Clinton’s favorite was chicken enchiladas, Barack Obama liked salted almonds and President Trump eats Lay’s potato chips.

I love food history and the story of what presidents liked to eat can be fascinating. I suggest reading the following book if you want to learn more, “The President’s Kitchen Cabinet” by Adrian Miller. Now it’s time for a presidential recipe from The National Archives. President John F. Kennedy’s recipe for New England Fish Chowder. Now you can make it and eat like a president!

FISH CHOWDERIngredients2 pounds haddock2 ounces salt pork, diced2 onions, sliced4 large potatoes, diced1 cup celery, chopped1 bay leaf, crumbled1 teaspoon saltFreshly ground black pepper1 quart milk2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Put the haddock in a soup pot with 2 cups water and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving the broth. Remove any bones from the fish and set fish aside.

Saute the salt pork in the soup pot until crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the pork and set aside. Saute the onions in the pork fat until golden brown. Add the fish, potatoes, celery, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to taste.

Pour in the reserved fish broth plus enough boiling water to make 3 cups liquid. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the milk and butter and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve the chowder sprinkled with the diced pork.
