Education Foundation Of Martin County Announces Teacher Of The Year Award Winners
Tonight, the Education Foundation of Martin County announced its Teacher of the Year winners during a special celebration at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Event Center.
Vanessa Molina-Council of Citrus Grove Elementary School took top honors and was named the 2024-2025 Martin County Teacher of the Year. She will go on to represent Martin County in the state competition to become the Florida Department of Education’s Teacher of the Year.
Devin Carlson, partner and general manager of
Audi Stuart, Infiniti Stuart and Alfa Romeo Stuart, the event sponsor, presented Molina-Council with the award.
The Education Foundation also recognized Alicia Carter of Hidden Oaks, who won the middle school category, and Samantha Pankhurst of Jensen Beach High, the high school category winner. There were a total of 23 nominees competing for the top spots.
In addition, Felix A. Williams Elementary School won the Spirit Award, which was based on its theme, costumes, props and enthusiasm.
Molina-Council’s students inspire her to be a classroom teacher. She grew up in low-income housing with nonEnglish speaking parents and a sibling who had a disability. They both attended inner city public schools in rough neighborhoods, but her teachers made them feel valued and respected and provided their parents with guidance and resources. This experience inspired her to pursue the teaching profession.

United Way Of Martin County Celebrates Community Leaders
United Way of Martin County kicked off its annual campaign with the Community Leaders’ Celebration luncheon at Sailfish Point Country Club on October 28. Nearly 200 people from this fine community came together to honor and celebrate their outstanding achievements from the past year while looking towards an even brighter future. At the luncheon, United Way thanked the many generous organizations and dedicated individuals who raise millions of dollars every year to ensure that Martin County residents are able to provide basic needs for themselves and their families. Derek Lowe, coordinator of Public Information and Community Relations for the Martin County School District, served as event emcee.
“I understand that this year has not been an easy one, especially after the destruction caused by Hurricane Milton,” Lowe pointed out. “Which is why I wanted to thank United Way of Martin County for always being there when we need them most, not only by providing resources and assistance through disaster relief programs, but most importantly, by being the guiding light to residents who may otherwise feel lost. With the generosity of those working and volunteering at United Way, our beloved family and friends can remain hopeful that they will get back on their feet every time.”
During the luncheon, United Way announced Martin County’s Top 10 Most Generous Workplaces and Communities that make our community investment possible.

“What inspires me today is to see the same joy of learning in my classroom and the motivation in my students to reach their fullest potential,” said Molina-Council. “My students make me feel like I am where I am meant to be, especially when I see those light bulbs go off!”
Her principal, Rose Rynca, said, “Vanessa exemplifies the qualities of an outstanding educator in every aspect of her teaching role. She consistently develops her instructional craft and is steadfast in her belief that all students will achieve. Her ability to inspire students’ curiosity, while integrating innovative teaching methods, is truly commendable.”
Carter has worked as an intervention reading teacher as well as a creative writing and digital media teacher, and a physical education and volunteer running coach.
One of her fellow teachers, Natalie Walters, stated in her letter of recommendation, “I have worked with Alicia for two years at Hidden Oaks Middle School, and I can attest to the fact that she is a superhuman, dedicated teacher

and colleague, and she is driven and conscientious. Look no further; because you will not find a more suitable candidate for Martin County Teacher of the Year than Alicia Carter!”

Pankhurst has taught almost every social studies course at Jensen Beach High School. Currently a teacher of advance placement human geography and United States history, her principal, Lori Vogel, noted how Pankhurst encourages her students to think beyond books to solve problems and become leaders.
“The students in her classes benefit from her details to planning as they are prepared for the rigor of college or real-world careers,” said Vogel. “She is always willing to go the extra mile to help other teachers develop lessons that are engaging for their students, and to help our students to ensure they meet requirements necessary for graduation.”
In addition to Audi Stuart, Infiniti Stuart, and Alfa Romeo Stuart as the presenting sponsor, the additional top sponsors were Keiser University, Publix Super Markets Charities and Cook Shell Contractors.

Martin County Tax Collector
By Ruth “Ski” Pietruszewski, Martin County Tax Collector
We LOVE To Offer Choices! Make The Right Choice For You!
People come from all walks of life and have all different types of lifestyles. We try to help our constituents have a better quality of life by offering different payment options to accommodate their lifestyle, relieving their stress and lessening the financial burden. Let’s talk about property tax, since usually that is an individual’s largest bill.
The option that gives you the lowest cost is to pay your entire bill in the 4 percent discount period in one lump sum; however, some people are unable to come up with that large amount of money at one time. We have added PAYPAL as a new payment option to online property tax payments.
The best alternative if the individual needs to make payments is the installment plan. This plan almost gives you the same cost as paying the entire bill at one time, except you are paying your taxes in advance. The first-year installments may be a little difficult, unless you are a new property owner and choose this option for your first tax bill, but once the property is put on the installment cycle, this option really gives you almost the same value as paying one
lump sum, while you make four smaller payments instead of one large lump payment.
For individuals who are self-employed or live on straight commission, we offer a partial payment plan. On this plan the taxpayer may make as many payments and any amount they can afford, as long as the entire amount is paid in full by April 1. The downside to this plan is that the individual loses all discounts.
We also offer several different payment options. The quickest and easiest is online. E-checks are $1.50. Visit our website at martintaxcollector.com. Credit cards are also offered online; however, the credit card processing company charges a 2.75 percent convenience fee, which we get no part of. The fee charged for an international or business credit card online is 3.95 percent, which we get no part of
Payment may be made by mail (postmark determines the discount period), dropped off at our drive-through window at the Palm City branch, dropped off in our convenient drop boxes at all of our four locations or in our after-hours “24/7/365” lock box at our drive-through window at the Palm City location. We opened a speedy walk-in Payment Express office at the Willoughby location in Stuart. (Look for the big blue banner.) A taxpayer may walk into any of our four convenient locations and we are ready to serve you. We are here and waiting to serve and help with whatever option you choose. Make the best choice for you!
Drop Your Property Taxes Off At The DriveThrough At The Palm City Branch Office
Ruth “Ski” Pietruszewski, Martin County Tax Collector, opens the drive-through tax collector service at the Palm City location. The window is used for individuals with handicapped parking placards, license plates, and disabled veterans. Others wishing to use the drive-through window will be limited to three transactions and payment may be made by cash or check.
“I opened our drive-through service,” stated Ruth “Ski” Pietruszewski, “to include property tax payments. It has been one of my goals to make life easier for the busy on-the-go residents. People have limited time and parents of young children, and the elderly don’t want to get out of the car. We’re bringing customer service to a higher level.”
My Child Is Slow To Get Going
By Jim Forgan, Ph.D.
Licensed School Psychologist
Eve’s nickname is “Eeyore” one parent told me. She was feeling frustration when dealing with her child completing tasks slower than everyone else. Whether it was doing homework, completing simple household chores, or getting out the door in the morning, Eve was slow or the last one to go. It required constant reminders and mom felt like she was always nagging. She hypothesized
Kids corner
her daughter was perhaps lazy, unmotivated, or did not understand what to do. But what really perplexed this mom was that Eve was slow regardless of if the activity was something fun or routine. It could be getting ready for a fun day at the waterpark and she was still slow.
There are many reasons why a child is completing tasks at a much slower pace than their peers. One reason is your child could have slower processing speed so even simple tasks will take them longer to complete. This can leave your child feeling overwhelmed, mentally fatigued, and discouraged. Second, your child could have a weak working memory and struggle to keep track of the tasks they are assigned and often forget what to do next. This can especially be noticed if you give your child multiple tasks at once. Third, your child may have weaker inhibition which means that they have a hard time resisting distractors. Your child could be cleaning
their room and find something they misplaced and become distracted playing with this and not cleaning up. Fourth, your child might have ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Presentation or what we used to call ADD.
Seek answers and understanding so you can do something different instead of becoming frustrated with your child and straining your relationship. A school neuropsychological evaluation will help you get to the root cause of why your child is completing tasks so slowly. Our evaluations assess all of these potential causes and provide specific and helpful recommendations to improve your child’s functioning in the home and school settings.

Palm City Chamber of Commerce Celebrates Holiday Cheer, 5K Champions, and Surprising Performances
The holiday season is here, and Palm City is buzzing with festive energy like never before! Our annual Veterans Memorial Bridge 5K was a resounding success, and while the true winners were the veterans we honor, a special shoutout is due to the top runners of the day: Kay Trager and Uriel Monjaras! Kay sped her way to victory like a reindeer on espresso, while Uriel set the pace with the grace of a seasoned marathoner (or maybe just someone who’s been training with a secret stash of gingerbread cookies). Congratulations to both!
But wait—hold the holly! Yours truly was also a little surprised by my own performance. I took home a gold in my age group! That’s right, folks, I’m officially a first-place finisher ... in the category of not-actually-being-that-young-anymore. But hey, let’s call it a win for the “spirits” of the season!
Now, let’s talk about the Holiday Village! If you missed it, well, you certainly missed out. The Patio at Palm City Place was a magical wonderland that practically bursting at the seams with holiday cheer. Every year, this event just keeps getting better, and this season was no exception. The Patio at Palm City Place was out shown by the student performers. Well, let’s just say they’re all destined for Broadway (or maybe just the next school talent show, but let’s dream big).
Palm City, you’ve outdone yourselves this year. Thanks to all our vendors and sponsors who participated or supported it would not have been so festive without you. This holiday season, we’re all winners—especially if you got some of that leftover holiday pie! Best eat up ... New Year’s resolutions are just around the corner.

November Dish With The Commish
The Palm City Chamber of Commerce, along with Martin County District 5 Commissioner Ed Ciampi, recently had the honor of hosting Dr. Bromberg of Volunteers in Medicine (VIM). This life-changing organization provides free healthcare to uninsured adults in Martin County, ensuring that those who keep our community running have access to the care they need.
Dr. Bromberg and his dedicated team are doing incredible work, offering vital medical services to individuals aged 18-64 who meet income eligibility requirements. Their commitment ensures that no one in our community must choose between basic needs and their health. This collaborative effort between local leadership and VIM highlights the power of community-driven solutions to address healthcare disparities.
We applaud the tireless work of Dr. Bromberg and his team and encourage others to learn about and support this invaluable resource. Volunteers in Medicine reminds us all, that when we work together, we can create a healthier, more inclusive community for all.

Puppy “Potty” Training Tips
Like infants and toddlers, young puppies require an extensive amount of time, planning and energy-usually much more than one predicts. Potty training a puppy, one of the most trying tasks, can be difficult. You can make this process easier by understanding your puppy and the tricks that will help you train him or her.
First, you should get a crate for your puppy. A crate is a place where your dog can feel safe and secure. It’s important that they have their own space in which they can go when they need to be alone-it is their den. The crate should be big enough for them to stand up and lie down in comfortably, but small enough so that they don’t have room to pee or poop on the floor of the crate. If you’re using a plastic crate, make sure it has ventilation holes so that your puppy doesn’t get too hot or too cold inside of it. Do not use the wire cages because they will feel exposed. When the pup wakes up, take him directly outside to the same spot each time and stand there, do not distract him or her. You can use the cue word “potty” just once so he or she associates the word with the action. Once he has gone to the bathroom, both pee and poop, reward him or her with a treat. If he or she has not done both pee and poop then put him or her back in the crate and try again in 15 minutes. Once he or she has done both then you can feed and have a play session. Keep your eyes on your pup at all times. Watch for signs

Treasure Coast Real Estate Report
Despite The Disruptions And Turmoil, Real Estate Is Selling. If Your Property Is Not, You Need To Lower The Price
By Jim Weix
It has been a wild year in real estate. Potential buyers now need to sign agreements to look at a property. What kind of crazy is that?
Then there are the condo and homeowner insurance issues, plus new floodplain zones. It seems that the issues never end.
Despite this, real estate is selling. It is also becoming a buyer’s market, thanks to the increased inventory of homes and condos for sale.
Things look good for potential buyers as we enter the 2025 selling season. Some predict that prices will stabilize and go down slightly.
The danger I see right now is that some sellers may get caught in the “But Fred sold his for this” trap. Instead of using Fred’s sale, sellers need to look at their situation. If your property has been on the market for 90 days and not had an offer, it is likely that the asking price is simply too high.
Sellers can have open houses and balloons every Sunday, but if the asking price is too high, the property won’t sell.
Feel free to call me if you would like to discuss your options. I can be reached at (772) 341-2941 or jimweix@jimweix.com.

of sniffing the ground, wandering off away from play area. If these signs are noticed, then take outside immediately. If less than 12 weeks of age, take him or her outside every 30 minutes until he or she begins going potty outside consistently. Then extend the time to 1 hour, then 2 hours and so on until no accidents occur. Always take him or her out about 15-20 minutes after eating or drinking, wakes up from a nap or has been playing hard and then slows down. Also have your pup go in the crate for naps throughout the day and go through the same process as in the morning each time he or she is taken out.
This rigid routine can be a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the breed and consistency of training before he or she is officially “potty” trained. Just remember that even the most diligent owner should expect accidents and should not get upset. If you happen to catch your pup in the act, just say no potty to him or her to make them stop and take out right away to allow your pup to finish and then offer a treat.
If you punish your pup you could cause them to be scared. This can lead to him or her sneaking off to go potty in the house where you cannot see them instead. Just saying no will confuse them. No potty is specific to the situation. Having a puppy is fun but is a serious commitment. The potty training process requires, above all, patience and consistency. It will be well worth it to have a fully house trained pup!
