The Next GENERATION

On June 28, the Fort Pierce Police Department welcomed two Interns into our law enforcement family. Terrence Cooper, 17, and Jeremiah Saintilien, 16, are both excited to be working and learning at the Police Department, where they were assigned as Interns to the Victims Advocacy Unit.

Cooper (at left in photo), a member of the Police Department’s Explorer Program, is a junior at The Lindsay School of the Arts in Fort Pierce. He plays piano and drums and is looking forward to gaining experience in a law enforcement environment. He enjoys gaming and playing basketball and football. He has a goal of improving his football skills to the point of possibly playing in the NFL as a running back or wide receiver.

Saintilien (at right in photo) is a senior at Treasure Coast High School in Port St. Lucie who is taking dual-enrollment classes at Indian River State College. He enjoys gaming and playing basketball and also is looking forward to gaining valuable work experience at the Police Department. He is majoring in health sciences and plans to work in the field of orthopedics.

We are proud to welcome both of these fine students to our Police Department family and we look forward to working alongside them in the days ahead.

My name is Trevor Gill, and I am currently a student at Florida Atlantic University. I will graduate in Fall 2024 with a BFA in Theatre and a concentration in performance acting. This internship opportunity was a wonderful way to learn the marketing and administrative side of theatre. Getting to work at the Sunrise Theatre was a pleasure, and I did a lot of different things, including marketing, graphic design, helping with the Missoula Children’s Theatre summer camps, event planning, and more. I learned a lot about the inner workings of local theatre, and it made me all the more excited for my future work!

My goals and aspirations are: graduating early, going to college, and applying for a job in Fort Pierce city hall. I feel as if the opportunity of this internship has helped me see what it would be like to have an official job. Working with the Planning Department has taught me a lot and given me an opportunity to be a part of many things, including business meetings and reviewing landscaping plans. I now know a lot more about the types of species of plants, trees, and bioswales. This opportunity has shown me how to communicate more effectively with others and consider everyone’s opinions. I feel that overall this has been the best experience in a working field for me and I can take this with me further in the real world. Maleehah Shannon (at right in photo).

I am Jaela Davis, a recent Public Relations graduate of Florida A&M University. As a creative, organized, and curious individual, interning for the City Manager’s Office has been an ideal entry to the professional world. Outside of work, I enjoy film photography, art, and content creation. I aspire to be a leader in wherever life may push me. My career goals include becoming a certified project management professional and a creative director for a large company. Bringing ideas to life, helping others, and giving back is all I aspire to do in my lifetime and I am grateful to the City of Fort Pierce for providing the footing to get that started.

As we celebrate our 100th anniversary of entertaining the Treasure Coast you can help preserve the Sunrise Theatre as the greatest and grandest historic theatre in the region.

Indian Hills Golf Course

Feelin’ Hot, Hot, Hot…..Wow, it has been scorching lately!! It certainly is difficult to keep your energy up as you play your 4-hour round of golf.

But help from Mother Nature with the warm weather and the recent steady afternoon showers has gone a long way to improve our playing conditions. The greens are in excellent shape and our fairways are improving every day! Organic liquid fertilizers we have been using combined with the weather conditions have the fairway grass growing quickly. We have been aggressively treating weeds and we have applied an insect application to improve the health of the roots of the fairway turf. Our second greens aeration is scheduled for early September and will be based on weather at the time.

Please make sure that when you are enjoying summer golf in these blazing temperatures, you drink PLENTY of liquids and make sure you keep an eye on your playing partners as well. Drinking plenty of water and/or sport drinks and avoiding alcohol will help replace electrolytes. Snacks such as peanuts or protein bars are important to replace the nutrients that are lost through sweating.

Word of mouth is our greatest form of advertising. We ask that if you have enjoyed playing here and appreciate the changes we are making to improve your experience, please tell a friend….or two! If there’s something we can improve upon… tell US so we can keep getting better! We thank all of our members and guests for their support, and we ask that you please “Like” and “Follow Us” on Facebook or Instagram to see almost daily updates on the golf course and our ongoing maintenance projects.
