Need help with those
resolutions?
Well, the holiday decorations have been put away, the thank-you notes written and
the credit card bills paid. Only thing left to do is start those resolutions.
Perhaps 2018 is the year you decided to get more exercise, get that creaky knee
examined, go camping or join a club. All these activities are highlighted in this winter issue
of Port St. Lucie Magazine to help you get up and get going.
Writer Pattie Durham recently spent a few hours at the city’s McCarty Ranch Preserve
checking out the upgrades made to the 3,000-acre slice of Old Florida with piney woods,
cabbage palm patches, coveys of quail and lakes filled with fish. On Page 34, she outlines
the new amenities including bathrooms, showers and primitive campsites perfect for tents
or RVs.
Greg Gardner takes you through a home in PGA Village that has undergone a rehab or
two by its owner, beginning on Page 12.
Joining a club is always a great way to meet people. Writer Debra Mcgrann introduces us
to a woodcarvers club that has been active in the city for 37 years, holding demonstrations,
carving walking canes for veterans and helping Boy Scouts earn their badges Page 30.
In our Port St. Lucie Folks section, you’ll meet a coin and stamp collector, a dance teacher
and a former news reporter who loves to travel. And don’t forget to check out the datebook
listings if you are looking for something to do.
So, now you don’t have any excuse to not get off that couch and find something new to
do in your city.

Riding bicycles around one of three lakes at the McCarty Ranch Preserve is a perfect way to keep a New Year’s
resolution to exercise more in 2018.
