COUNCIL SIGNS OFF
ON TACTICAL ROBOT

BY DEBBIE CARSON | Staff Writer
[email protected]

Sometime in the near future, the Port
St. Lucie Police Department will welcome
a new recruit – a tactical robot.

The City Council Monday night unan-
imously approved the department’s re-
quest for $30,000 to be paired with a
$24,200 grant to purchase the machine.
The request was placed on the council’s
consent agenda and was approved with-
out discussion or debate.

Police Chief John Bolduc recently told
St. Lucie Voice that the tactical robot
would be a great addition to the city’s
police force, giving the department an
opportunity to better assess potentially
dangerous situations before sending in
officers. 

‘UNITED’ THEY STAND

United Way of Indian River County
provides an $18,000 grant to Safe-
Space, the only certified domestic
violence center on Treasure Coast,
for its Supportive Living Program.
This program houses individuals in
need of long-term housing as well as
provides outreach services for those
who choose not to enter a shelter, but
are affected by domestic violence.

Tank You
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE

who supported my campaign. Over thirty-five thousand people in Port St. Lucie
voted to join me in my effort to serve our city as a member of the city council,
but 761 more people voted for my opponent.
I am deeply honored and truly humbled by the support of so many people
because they recognized and shared my concerns for our city. I didn’t win, but
I still intend to serve our city by giving voice to our shared concerns.
Now it falls onto the new council to navigate through numerous issues going forward, and I want to wish the
city council success in making the right choices.
Regardless of who you voted for, it is important that more people engage with our government, because
that’s what makes government better. I would like to share some interesting statistics with you. There are
approximately 114,000 registered voters in the City of Port St. Lucie, about 23,000 did not vote at all, and of
the voters who voted for President, about 20,000 didn’t vote in the City Council race.
My thanks, and my very best wishes and regards, to all of my 35,000 plus voters and my over 180,000 neighbors.

On his latest deployment, with almost

arid nation of Djibouti, much of Willems’
time was spent treating painful – albeit JOIN TODAY
not life-threatening – injuries and taking
on an entirely different role, as well. Only A Few

teachers and de facto medical ambassa- Affordable

For example, according to Willems, “I
had some French marines come through a Learn more at

and deployment. The French came to our
course [along with] Djiboutian nationals, 10/31/16 6:11 PM
so it was pretty interesting.”

Willems and his medics have also trav-
eled deeper into the continent to share
their skills. “I’ve gone to Uganda a couple
times, training with the Ugandan military
to get them ready to deploy to Somalia,”
as part of an African Union peacekeeping
mission there.

While the bulk of Willems’ deploy-
ments had him stationed in sand – Iraq
in 2003 and 2005, Kuwait in 2009, and
Djibouti in 2015 and 2016 – he was defi-
nitely smitten by what he saw in Uganda.
Dubbed “the pearl of Africa” by Winston
Churchill, Willems says simply, “It’s beau-
tiful. Green, rolling mountains. Wild cof-
fee beans growing everywhere. It’s a beau-
tiful place.”

Still, Willems saves his most effusive
praise for his wife, Josephine.

“My wife,” Willems states mat-
ter-of-factly, “is a wonderful person. She
is a very patriotic sort and she is very
supportive. She’s phenomenal. Honestly.
Heck, she managed two kids, a full-time
job and got her master’s degree while I
was deployed this last time. The smartest
thing I’ve ever done was to marry a wom-
an who is smarter than me.”

With two young sons, Willems and his
wife are both grateful for some non-med-
ical technology that has worked its way
into their lives. Specifically, video chat
and voice call services like Skype. “My
oldest son,” Willems says almost wistful-
ly, “was born on my third deployment but
I was able to Skype and get pictures right
away. Just to be able to keep in touch that
way makes a world of difference.”

Making a difference is what Willems is
all about and he has already set his sights
on another medical mission closer to
home.

He says he’d like to continue his educa-
tion and become a nurse practitioner.

“I enjoy being a nurse, I really do. I
didn’t think I would like it as much as I
do,” but then again, when he first enlisted
straight out of Westwood high school in
nearby Fort Pierce, Willems’ world was a
much smaller place than it is now. 

The main keys for a good slam are fit and controls. To make a grand slam with no fit, 6

settle for three spades. Here, after hearing four spades, South uses RKCB to learn
that North has the spade king and club ace, but not the spade queen.

Against six spades, West leads the heart queen. South wins with his ace, draws
two rounds of trumps, cashes the diamond king, plays a diamond to his ace, and
continues with the diamond queen, discarding dummy’s heart loser. Then he can
claim, conceding one trump trick.
