Survey


reveals


opinions


of polls

BY RITA HART
Staff writer
Martin County voters, by an
overwhelming majority of 99
percent of those surveyed,
believe that they were well-
served by poll workers in the
2006 general elections.
Martin County supervisor of
elections Vicki Davis released
the results of a survey conduct-
ed by her office, asking partici-
pants to assess their experi-
ences with voting in the 2006
elections.
"We initially started out call-
ing those who cast a vote in the
general election by pulling vot-
ers out of 453 precincts. There
were 427 individuals who par-
ticipated in that way," Ms.
Davis said.
Ms. Davis then contacted the
Martin County Chamber of
Commerce, inviting chamber
members to participate in the
survey as well.
- In addition, the survey was
posted on the supervisor of
election's Web site, inviting the
public to participate.
The result was a total of 517
individuals who took part in the
survey, which Ms. Davis said
she plans on sharing with the
appropriate legislative delega-
tion.
The majority of those sur-
veyed indicated they would
prefer touch-screen voting over
paper ballots, by a ratio of 80 to
20 percent. However, 51 per-
cent of those surveyed felt that
a paper trail ik a priority for
them.
"I feel this is important infor-
mation to share, because it
shows a high number of people
who are interested in a paper
trail, and I think this is impor-
tant going into the 2008 elec-
tion cycle."
Following are the eight survey
questions, and results, from
those who responded:,
*Did you participate in early
voting?
Yes: 49 percent
No: 51 percent
*If you had a choice, would
you prefer to vote on the touch
screen machines or a paper
ballot?
Touch screen: 80 percent
Paper: 20 percent
*Were you served well by the
poll workers?
Yes: 99 percent
No: One percent
*Could poll workers have
made your experience better?
Yes: 11 percent

A glimpse



of the future

'Spirit Guide' is featured psychic
at this year's South Florida Fair
BY LINNEA BROWN
Staff writer
PALM BEACH COUNTY Would you like to know
what the future holds?
Then you may want to go to the South Florida Fair
this year to see Hometown News' own "Spirit Guide"
James Tucker, the featured psychic at this year's fair.
In keeping with the fair's theme, "Dreams, Screams,
Chills and Thrills," Mr. Tucker- who has earned a loyal
following with his weekly columns and horoscopes
since Hometown News' inception in 2002 will offer
metaphysical psychic predictions and palm readings
from his signature purple booth in the main hall from
Jan. 13-29.
As owner of The Mystic Chronicle, a spiritual healing
center in Jensen Beach, Mr. Tucker has been helping
people see their true purpose in life and move past
obstacles since 1991.
However, the art of palm reading has always come
naturally, he said.
"When I was young, I could look at somebody's hand
and know everything about them," he said. "Then I
read a lot of books, but mostly just learned how to

(read) patterns of the spirit within and work from the
inner universe."
Though he initially trained at the Metaphysical Fel-
lowship Institute in Southern California, Mr. Tucker
said he has learned most of what he knows through
experience.
"I've done more than 5,000 sessions in the past 30
years," he said.
His work actually helped change the face of the South
Florida Fair in the early'90s, when his popularity at the
Martin County Fair caught the eye of the then-manager

STUART Life turned
into a real "beach" for two
tourists on NewYear's Day.
The lives of two young
men were hanging in the
balance at Stuart Beach
mid-afternoon, New Year's
Day, after they fell into the
deep side of the sand bar.
Luckily, two Martin
County lifeguards were
keeping an eye on the sand
bar and went into action
when they saw the two
men fighting for their lives.
"One of the men was in
rough shape after the res-
cue. Both men were
caught off guard when
they found themselves on
the deep side of the sand
bar." said Blake Morrow,
one of the lifeguards on
duty that day.
Joe Kostygan, marine
Safety chief of Martin
; County Marine Safety,
said, "The sand bars can
,be deceiving.
' The small waves in
front look like a calm and
gentle place to wade or
-float. However, if non-
swimmers are sucked into
the deep side of thesand
bar, there's trouble. With
no big waves to push the


swimmer back to shore, it
can be deadly," Mr. Kosty-
gan said.
Mr. Kostygan added that
NewYear's Day was actual-
ly a slower rescue day than
usual. A typical day on the
beach cguld consist of a
dozen to 70 rescues.
"People that are unfa-
miliar with surf conditions
can find themselves in
danger, especially with rip
currents," Mr. Kostygan,
said. "Just a little wind
from the east will bring
waves straight for the
shore with nowhere to go.
That is when the water
streams along the shore-
line until it finds an exit
back to the sea. The result-
ing rip current is usually
narrow arid located in a
trench between sand
bars."
The United States Life-
saving Association esti-
mates that the annual
number of-deaths due to
rip currents on the
nation's beaches exceeds
100, and account for more
than 80 percent of rescues
performed by surf beach
lifeguards. ,
"If a swimmer is caught,
in a rip current, they

Longtime resident,

businessowner needs

help after accident


Rick Little has
donated $50,000
to area agencies
during the last
15 years
BY KIM COTTON
Staffwriter
PORT ST. LUCIE Rick Lit-
tle knew there was something
wrong with the tires on his
1996 Nissan Sentra.
He heard a noise, took his
car to the shop and got two
new tires and an alignment.
Just days after that, a tire blew
on Florida's Turnpike, causing
Mr. Little's vehicle to roll.
S"I heard a bang and instant-
ly knew a tire blew," Mr. Little
said. "A split second later I
heard a boom as I hit the con-
crete barrier. The next thing I
knew, I was sitting there, with
my seatbelt on and blood all
over the place."
The accident happened late
in the evening of Nov. 28,
when Mr. Little was returning
from a business trip in Palm
Beach County. He was about a
mile south of the Jupiter exit
when the accident occurred.
There was light traffic at the
time, Mr. Little said, and he
was attempting to pass a trac-
tor-trailer when the tire blew.
"The trucker came over to
see if I was OK," he said.)"He
told me I needed to get out of
the car in case it explodes. I
stepped out and my left arm
was dangling."
At the time, Mr. Little had
no idea his car had rolled.
"The trucker said my car
rolled over five or six' times,"
Mr. Little said. "I didn't
believe him at first. My mind


had blocked out the part
where I rolled."
The driver's side door came
open during the accident and
Mr. Little's left arm took the
brunt of the accident. He had
debris embedded in his arm,
and it was broken in several
places.
Although Mr. Little was
wearing his seatbelt, he still
sustained a head injury,
requiring 25 staples in his
scalp. His right hand needed
eight staples.
"It was a miracle I sur-
vived," Mr. Little said. "If any-
one else had been in the car,
they wouldn't have survived."
Mr. Little had neck surgery
more than 11 years ago,
where doctors put a metal
plate and several screws into
his neck. Luckily, his neck was
fine.
Since his accident, Mr. Lit-
tle has been relying on the
kindness of others. He owns
Treasure Coast Printing and
Graphics, in Stuart, and has
been unable to work. He is
right-handed and types on
his computer with one finger,
while his left hand heals.
Because Mr. Little owns his
own business, he does not
have medical insurance. He
has personal injury protec-
tion as part of his auto insur-
ance policy, but it maxes out
at $10,000.
"It is the only thing I have
that has covered any aspect of
the accident," Mr. Little said.
Thanks to the generosity of
people on the Treasure Coast,
Mr. Little was able to pay his
bills for December, as well as
pay for medical supplies not
covered by his insurance.
"The Stuart/Martin County
Chamber of Commerce has
been wonderful," Mr. Little

relearned by Rick Little as he recovers from a rollover car acci-
dent on the Florida Turnpike nearly six weeks ago.


said.. "As soon as they heard
about the accident, they very
quickly sent out an e-mail to
members about the accident.
I've gotten a lot of nice e-
mails, cards and well wishes."
Mr. Little has been a mem-
ber of the chamber for 15
years, and has been generous
to numerous organizations in
the area. He estimates that in
his 15 years in the Treasure
Coast area, he has donated
$50,000 in both cash and
services.
Joe Catrambone, president
of the Stuart/Martin County
Chamber of Commerce, said
there was no question about
helping Mr. Little after his


accident.
"He is a long-standing
member who has always
helped us, especially when we
needed something in a hurry
or we didn't have the funds,"
Mr. Catrambone said. "He is a
member of our community
who fell down on tough luck
and we needed to do whatev-
er we could to help."
If anyone would like to help
Rick Little, donations can be
made at any Harbor Federal
Bank branch under the name
Richard H. Little, through
paypal.com or mail donations
directly to Mr Little at 1533
S.E. Royal Green Circle, Apt.
C204, Port St. Lucie 34952.

Two charged with homicide in
Jupiter Island boat incident
On Dec. 29, 2006, the Martin County
Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a boat
that had been beached at Blowing Rocks
Preserve on Jupiter Island. A duffle bag
filled with heroin and a handgun were
found on the boat.
Nigel Warren, who would have turned 59
on Jan. 2, was found dead nearby, the vic-
tim of drowning.
Twelve other men who were on the boat,
all from Jamaica, were apprehended within
hours and turned over to immigration
authorities, but the captain of the boat was
not among them.
Then at 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 30, a taxi driver
asked two on-duty deputies at a Mobile gas
station at Bridge Road and U.S. 1 for direc-
tions to the Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge.
The driver returned a short time later,
with two male passengers, asking for
change for the fare.
The deputies were suspicious of the con-
dition of the passengers, one of whom was
not wearing pants, and contacted Sheriff's
Lt. John Silvas, who arrived and spoke to
the men.
Shortly thereafter, the men, identified as
Johnson Leon Brice, 38, and Ricky Thomp-
son, 40, were charged by Mr. Silvas witli
homicide and are being held without bond.
Mr. Brice was also arrested on a Georgia
warrant for trafficking.
Both men deny involvement in the
beached boat and in the death of Mr. War-
ren.

New congressman sworn in
The 16th Congressional District's newest
representative took the oath of office on
Jan. 3, as the ll0tli congressional session
began.
'Tim Mahoney defeated Republican Joe
Negron in a race that drew national atten-
tion. Mr. Mahoney succeeds former Rep.
Mark Foley, who resigned in September
amid allegations that he sent inappropriate
e-mails to congressional pages.
The 16th congressional district includes
parts of Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and
Palm Beach counties.

of the South Florida Fair.
"They hadn't had a psy-
chic ilhore in 50 years.
Before, it was more like a
carnival and livestock fair for
youth," Mr. Tucker said.
Now in his 14th year, he
estimated that he typically
reads as many as 400 palms
there each year.
"I have tremendous suc-
cess at the fair," he said. "It's
colorful, magical, educa-
tional, spiritual and fun."
Through his work, Mr.
Tucker strives to demystify


the mysterious with the
mantra "ancient wisdom,
modern interpretation,
future predications."
He operates by the
supreme law of the universe
that whatever a person
sends out comes back multi-
plied, he said.
"In churches, it's called the
golden rule what goes
around comes around. It's
the law of manifestation at
work," he said.
First and foremost, he
helps his clients find their
center and balance within
themselves. Then, because
the person has gotten out of
their own way, the universe
begins to move them for-
ward, he said.
He likened a person's life
to a garden, with flowers and
weeds representing the pos-
itives and negatives of life.
"Faith, prosperity, joy, love
and abundance are all the
flowers in the garden, while
disease, war, poverty, hatred
and fear are all the weeds,"
he said. "In the inner garden,
you can't have both and it
all comes down to which
you (choose to) feed."
While Mr. Tucker's in-
depth readings at his spiritu-
al healing center typically
last an hour, his palm read-
ings at the fair last an aver-


age of 10 to 20-minutes, he
said.
However, palms can reveal
people's natural gifts imme-
diately, he said.
"The palm's mind-line is a
reflection of how a person
thinks, while the emotion-
or heart-line reveals how
they feel about things. The
lifeline reveals heath or
longevity," he said.
Most importantly, Mr.
Tucker said he can see a per-
son's creative side, which
reveals their soul and true
purpose.
"Everybody has a destiny,
and the hardest thing they
have to do in life is find it,"
he said. "That's why I have a
job, because people want to
know what their true destiny
is. They want to know where
they're going and how to get
there."
By studying a person's
palm, Mr. Tucker can reveal
the negative behavior pat-
terns and self-defeating
behaviors that people need
to let go of to find fulfillment.
"People break down and
cry sometimes. It can be
very emotional if they're
holding back a lot of pain,"
he said.
However, he cited dozens
of examples of people
whose lives have been


dhariged by his readings, he
said.
"I have people who come
back to me (at the fair) year
and year," he said. "They
always say they're coming
back for a 'check-up,' to see
how things are and what
they can expect in the year
to come."
He has had numerous
clients from the fair visit his
spiritual healing center later
in the year and gains loyal
Hometown News readers
wherever he goes, he said.
"My column is a huge suc-
cess, and it's because I
(write) about helping people
change their lives, move for-
ward toward their goals and
make wise choices," he said.
"It's all about getting cen-
tered and finding your pur-
pose. This is mine I love
what I do."
The South Florida Fair is at
the South Florida Fair-
grounds in West Palm Beach
from Jan. 13-29. Mr Tucker
will be available for readings
from noon to 10 p.m. on
weekdays and 10 a.m. to 10
p.m. on weekends. Visit the
Web site, www.South-
FloridaFair.com.

He was sitting in his car

was just 8 months old.
Tavares was in the back
seat of a 1998 Oldsmobile
that was parked outside of a
home at 1630 Ave. HWest in
Riveria Beach at approxi-
mately 11:30 p.m. on New
Year's Day.
The shooting occurred
when two suspects pulled
up in front of the house in a
maroon Lincoln Navigator,
pointed guns out the car
windows, and opened fire.
Tavares'. mother, Chan-
dell Wiley, 18,' and the
owner of the Oldsmobile,
Betty White, 18, were criti-
cally injured ini the shoot-
ing. Both live in Hobe
Sound.
Others injured in the
shooting were Jason Bell,
age unknown, and Godfrey
Pratt, 24, both of Riveria
Beach, along with Ira Shaw,
54, of West Palm Beach.
An unidentified 19-year-
old woman from Stuart was


also present, but was not
injured in the shooting.
"We are aggressively pur-
suing leads," said Mr. Miller.
"Our Violent Crimes Task
Force is looking into this
case. We can't necessarily
pinpoint a particular
motive at the moment. The

someone firing from auto-

get."
Mr. Miller said the sus-
pects released 37 or more
rounds from their weapons.
"These people have, no

Mr. Miller.

It's a dog's life

I just saw on a television news program, that California
has passed a law prohibiting dogs from being tied up out-
side for more than three hours at a time.
Some dogs spend their entire lives tied up to trees and
posts, and in cages.
Imagine the little Christmas puppy that will grow up to
spend their entire life locked in a cage or tied up.
I've read in the paper recently that some worthy cause has
been promoting a dog training and education program for
$80. The people who really need this program cannot afford it.
Dog owners should get free shots and spay or neutering
when they attend such a program. They shouldn't have to
pay. Imagine the good results of real kindness to animals.
People who are cruel to their animals spend serious time in
hell.
Inexcusable rant

I thought the rant "Are you one of those people," making
reference to the people from up North, was inexcusable. You
need to have them coming down here. I just don't think it
was the nicest thing for your newspaper.

Animal Control in Florida

Hello to the kind person who responded to a rant that
dogs should not be tied up outside all night. That person
suggested that you punch the abusive owner in the head,
take their dog away and find it a new home.
Anyone who did that would be charged with assaulting
the owner and stealing their pet.
If animal abuse is reported to the police, they say Animal
Control will look into it. And Animal Control, if they come
out at all, will say they can't do anything about it and to call
the police after 10:30 p.m. if the animal is still crying at night.
Animal Control in Florida is a joke and unenforceable.
Southern folk treat dogs like cattle, especially hunting dogs
and the puppies at puppy mills.

You can kiss paradise good-bye

I'm responding to the rant "Don't bite the Northern hand
that feeds you."
Northern people saying they are the 'bread and butter of
Florida' must have never heard the saying, "I'd rather be
poor in Florida, than rich in NewYork."
I certainly don't believe that they spend the $40,000 down
here that someone said. They are really only middle class.
They come down here and try to change our traditions
with their rude and obnoxious ways. Not to mention the
traffic. We have to spend our money on their children, to
build more schools, sidewalks, electricity lines and lights.
' According to a Port St. Lucie paper, their kids don't even go
to school because they are always in trouble.
Our peaceful ways have changed. Our coastal waterways
used to be home to birds, raccoons, fish and other wildlife.
By having a home up North in the summer and a condo-
minium down here in the winter, these selfish people want
their cake and theywant to eat it too.
We all know what comes out of condos, human waste,
and it's destroying our river.
They are driving our taxes sky-high and have taken over
our city government. There are hardly any people in our city
government from Florida, who understand the problems.
Florida is built on water and water is our most precious
commodity. Florida has been here for millions of years and
we need to keep it beautiful, peaceful and rough. Northern-
ers want to turn it into something it is not. They want to
mold it into what they want it to be and then sell it to devel-
opers.
In a nutshell, they are ruining the South Florida way of life.


If you call this "paradise," you can kiss it good-bye. They are
absolutely ridiculous.

Massive nuclear storage waste facility on
Hutchinson Island

We residents of Port St. Lucie worry about traffic issues
and this and that, but it's irrelevant.
Out there on Hutchinson Island, Florida Power and Light
is building a massive nuclear storage waste facility. And
since we all likely live west of the plant, no one seems to
care.
However, if there is an accident out there and the sea
breezes blow, there will be none of us left to worry about
running around in traffic congestion.
It wasn't any issue for the new mayor or any of the Com-
missioners, because they failed to tell anybody.
Let everybody know what's going on. out there on
Hutchinson Island.


Where is the city government?

Today we decided to visit Fort Pierce to see all of the won-
derful improvements we have been reading about in the
Palm Beach Post. Actually, our purpose was to visit the
chocolate factory on U.S. 1, which was wonderful as always.
So, after that visit we decided to walk down to St. LuciieVil-
lage and see the Indian River Lagoon.
We walked east on Hunt Avenue and were very, very
shocked.
There were old boats and cars, garbage cans, other bro-
ken junk and debris thrown everywhere. However, this was
not at all houses. The junk was mostly on the South side of
Hunt Avenue.
There were also howling, starving dogs, tied up to trees,
and the smell was absolutely aweful. It was very disgusting.
We will stay away in the future. I have never seen such a
mess.
Where is the city government? Don't they have some basic
rules for people who don't care how they live?

Where are the beautiful sandhill cranes?

Did the (delivery) truck, delivering some junky Christmas
gifts, race through the park and kill a family of three sandhill
cranes?
The busy Christmas season brought with it the busy trucks
and cars speeding through the narrow roads of the Spanish
Lakes and golf village, which spelled doom fro three beauti-


ful sand hill cranes.
One was spotted recently with an injured leg and Animal
Control following it with nets, but the bird flew off in time.
Did a (delivery) driver or a visitor kill these birds?
Before the next Christmas mayhem season, the owner of
the park should place a sign at the entrance with a picture of
the cranes, which also live here.
I miss them very much.

The best place to fish is the South Jetty

The absolute best place in Florida to fish is the South Jetty
in Fort Pierce, anytime, day or night. But, there is no place to
park there, day or night.
If Fort Pierce wants to attract tourists, why not develop
some parking at the beach and jetties? .-
More condominiums and hotels won't attract tourists, just
tax dollars for more fancy sidewalks ad deserted shopping
areas.
I have a bicycle. Bike trails and parking at the beach would
really help. Perhaps the paper could publish a map of bike
trails in St. Lucie County, because I can't find it anywhere.

Florida dog-raising rules

I am responding to the ranter who objected to dogs"being
tied up outdoors in the rain and bad weather.
That person doesn't know the Florida dog-raising rules.
Dogs are bred here to fight other dogs, to hunt hogs and
ride in the backs of pick-up trucks. They are usually pit bull
and Rottweiler mixes.
The owners, who have to make money somehow
because they are too stupid to hold a job, raise dogs and sell
them.
They beat them because it makes them feel important
when the dog cries. After a while, the dog stops crying.
You used to be able to tell whether a dog was abused by if
its tailwas between its legs all the time. But now, the jerks just
cut the tail off completely. These creeps are everywhere in
Fort Pierce ard the Animal Control does nothing about it at
all. They just say that the cruelty is not against any local law.

Where are the decorations?

I wonder why Don Cooper and the powers-that-be don't
put Christmas decorations out in.St. Lucie West. Port St.
Lucie Boulevard and Gatlin Boulevard have Christmas deco-
rations. Primavista Boulevard and Newport have decora-
tions, too.
The people in St. Lucie West must be a bunch of orphans
out there or something. They pay as much taxes as anybody
else does.

Losing


hair, the


laser way

BY DOROTHY KAMM
For Homtown News
Using laser for hair
removal, like other inven-
tions and treatments, was
discovered by accident,
when in the late 1970s a
scientist inadvertently
exposed a portion of his
arm, burning off all of the
hair. The skin remained
Sundamaged, and the hair
never grew back.
However, it wasn't until
1995 that the Food and
Drug Administration
approved the first laser for
hair removal.
As laser hair removal
continued to evolve,
another "side effect" was
discovered, also quite by
accident.
Technicians noticed
that the skin adjacent to
the hair follicles that were
treated showed improve-
ment in appearance. Light
and heat evened out skin
tone, shrank pores, and in
general improved the look
of skin.
Since that finding, laser
has expanded as a tool for
skin rejuvenation, such as
skin' tightening and pig-
ment correction.
Initially, a different laser
was needed for the vari-
ous types of treatments.
The latest laser generation
can accomplish up to five
different types of laser in
one machine, having five
different computers that
direct specific functions.


Buying a car at


the end of its lease


Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Cheryl Herndon demonstrates laser treatments to Amanda Sopko during a visit to
Women's Health Specialists in Jensen Beach.


Cosmetic laser treat-
ments can be customized'
to improve many skin
problems, in addition to
hair removal.
Skin tightening is one of
the most sought after
treatments. How does the
laser accomplish this?
Broadband laser contains
hundreds of super thin
semiconductor layers,
each affecting the ener-
gies of electrons.
The laser penetrates the
collagen-rich under-layer,
beneath the surface der-
mis and inner, subcuta-
neous layer, which is
woven with a web of colla-
gen fibers.
Collagen is the building


block that provides struc-
ture for skin. By heating
the collagen in the skin's
under-layer, collagen pro-
duction is stimulated and
re-texturing and re-con-
touring of the skin ensues.
Wrinkles relax, and loose
skin pulls taut.
SPigment correction is
another popular proce-
dure.
The broadband laser
gently corrects pigmenta-
tion irregularities, such as
dyschromia, irregular or
patchy discoloration;
hyper-pigmentation, dark
patches, including age
spots and freckles; rosacea,
redness; melasma, dark
skin discoloration; and


hemangiomas, strawber-
ry-colored birthmarks.
For those who want to
save time shaving or who
want to remove unsightly
and unwanted hair, the
newest lasers allow a fast
and easy procedure for all
skin types, including
tanned skin.
Many procedures take
approximately 20 to 30
minutes. There is no down
time. You may resume
normal activities or return
to work following treat-
ment.
There may be slight red-
ness for a few hours. With

The best thing about
making a decision
about buying your
car at the end of a lease is
that you are holding the
best hand in the card
game between you, the
leasing company and the
dealer. That is because you
know your car better then
they do.
You probably have been
driving it for close to three
years, you know how well
you have maintained it,
how worn the tires are,
whether or not it's been
wrecked and repaired, and
how many dings, dents or
upholstery blemishes
there are. You know if it
was garaged and how you
carefully you drove it. You
also know, better than
anybody, how well it runs.
All of these things deter-
mine the value of your car.
Unless you buy a new
car, you cannot have as
much confidence in any
other used car that you
may buy than your own
used lease car. The only
assurance that you have
when you buy somebody
else's used car is their
word or the dealer's word
about how it was driven
and maintained. That
means, if you did take
very good care of your
leased car, drove it careful-
ly, kept it in a garage,
waxed and washed it
faithfully, and maintained
it carefully, it is worth
more to you than anybody
else, because you are the"
only one who knows that.


EARL STEWART
On Cars


And you can never be sure
about that for any other
used car you might buy.
Given that you like your
leased car and want to
keep it, the next step is to
determine its wholesale
market value. The leasing
company usually is not in
the business of selling
cars, just leasing them.
Getting rid of off-lease
cars is expensive and time
consuming for them. You
have an advantage here,
too, and you should be
able to negotiate a good
price.
Remember, you know
your car much better than
they do. They will usually
give you a price you can
buy the car for without
even looking at it.
Oftentimes, they will call
you first about buying
your lease car before the
lease is up. Be careful
when this happens,
because this can mean
they are facing a loss if

Cars
From page A7
they have to wholesale
your car at the auction.
They are calling you to sell
you your car for more
money than they can get
for it at the auction.
That is why you need to
establish the current
wholesale market value
for your car. Car dealers
call this ACV, for actual
cash value. Check the
Internet for information
on the value of your car.
Kelly Blue Book's Web site,
www.kbb.com, is one of
the best sources. "Con-
sumer Reports" magazine
can also give you this
information. The best
check on the wholesale
value is to actually drive
your car to three or four
dealerships that are
franchised for your make.
If you drive a Ford, visit
as many Ford dealerships
as you can and tell them
you want to sell your car.
You aren't misleading
them because it's a leased
car. You could exercise
your option to buy it from
the leasing company and


then resell it to the dealer,
if the dealer's offer was
higher. If you live near a
CarMax store, the largest
retailer of used cars
anywhere, it buys a lot of
used cars over the curb
and its prices are usually
very competitive.
Now that you are armed
with the true market value
for your car, you can
negotiate the best price
with the leasing company.
Even if they won't sell
you the car for the ACV,
paying as much as $2,000
more than wholesale for
a car you have absolute
confidence in is a good
deal. If you can buy it for
wholesale or below, you
should celebrate.
Another thing to be on
the lookout for with the
leasing company is when
they offer to extend your
lease for the same
monthly payment you
are currently making.
That is not a good deal.
They are doing this
because they will lose
money if they sell this car
at the auction at the
present time. They want
you to keep making
payments on the car so

that their depreciation
rate catches up with the
residual value. The
residual value is the price
they guessed your car
would be worth in three
years. If you had leased
the car for longer at the
onset of your lease, the
payments would be lower
than they are now. Why
should you pay the
leasing company the

will turn dark before dis-
appearing in one to two
weeks. In the interim,
make-up or concealers
can be used.
Laser has many advan-
tages over traditional plas-
tic surgery. Laser treat-
ments are non-invasive
and non-ablative proce-
dures. Laser treatments
are faster, less painful, and
cost a fraction of plastic
surgery. Prices vary
depending upon the type
of procedure and size of
the area.
"Today's modern laser
treatments are really
lifestyle changing when it
comes to pigment correp-
tion, skin tightening and
unwanted hair. Women
no longer have to bear the
burden of aging," said
Cheryl Herndon, ARNP,
director of aesthetic serv-
ices for Women's Health
Specialists: in Jensei
Beach.
One of Herndon's clients
attended her class
reunion, where former
classmates commented on
how young and healthy
her face .looked. When
asked if she had a face lift,
she could truthfully
answer no.-
After having three chil-
dren, another, client had a
sagging abdomen that no
amount of exercise erased.
The skin tightening proce-
dure worked great for her.:
If you want to start the
New Year with a dramatic
change in your appear-
ance as you work toward
self-improvement, consid-
er laser treatments.
"After all, the better we
look the better we feel,"
said Herndon. "Converse-
ly, the better we feel, the
better we look."
Although resolutions are
easy to make and difficult
to keep, laser cosmetic
therapy is one New Year's
resolution that can truly
make a difference in your
appearance.

Look it up online at Wikipedia.org


ave you ever gone
to an encyclopedia
to look up some
obscure bit of information,
only to find that the entry
has no more information
than what you already
know?
Or worse, it contains no
information on what you
are looking up at all?
Have you ever wanted to
contribute some of your
own "expert knowledge" to
some encyclopedia entry
to bring the article up to
the level you think would
be most helpful to other
people? Well, thanks to
Wikipedia, now you can.
Wikipedia
(www.wikipedia.org) is an
online encyclopedia
boasting more than
810,000 articles all
editable by its readers! For
a size comparison, the
Encyclopedia Britannica
has approximately 85,000
entries and Encarta
approximately 63,000. And
none of them are change-
able!
So, what does
"Wikipedia" mean any-
way? Well, it's kind of a
funny word. It's a combi-
nation of the word "wiki"
(which is an editable form
of Web site) and the last
part of the word "encyclo-
pedia." In essence, an
editable encyclopedia.
:The project has grown
since its inception in 2001,
with more articles posted
every day. The beauty of it
is the ability to contribute
to any article by any reader
so the content of the
project grows by leaps and
bounds.
When I first stumbled
upon the site, I didn't give
it much thought; it was
interesting and had some
good information on what
I was looking for (I found
th e"site during- a regular
Google search on some
obscure topic), but the
power of what I was


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This
looking at didn't appear to
me at the time. Then, over
time, I started to realize
that more and more of the
searches I would do on
Google (or other search
engines) were returning
results from Wikipedia.
Overall, I found the
information returned to be
relevant, until one day I
found an article that I
thought needed a little
clarification. After looking
at the page for a bit, I
found the "edit" button
and read the frequently
,asked questions on editing
a page. Within minutes, I
was adding my thoughts to
that particular entry. Now
the article contained the
information that I thought
it was lacking. For the first
time, I had actually
contributed to an encyclo-
pedia entry.
OK, Iknow what you are
thinking! "How could an
encyclopedia that is edited
and modified by any
reader possibly be accu-
rate?" And it's a good
question. There are some
basic "rules" that appear to
be broken here. What's
stopping pranksters or just
plain ignorant people from
posting information on
this site that is completely
bogus?
Just because you read
something on the Internet
doesn't necessarily make it
true (that's always impor-
tant to keep in mind when
surfing the Web).


Well, if you browse the
site's FAQs (again) you will
find that they have indeed
addressed much of the
criticism people have
posed regarding the sites
validity, and it seems that
the checks and balances
that they have in place to
prevent such inaccurate
entries again relies on the
users themselves.
Each edit or new entry
gets immediately posted
to the "recent changes"
page where thousands of
Wikipedia devotees proof
read and verify all new,
entries. So, if someone
posts a bogus entry, it's
corrected fairly rapidly,
usually the same day.
How does one go about
using Wikipedia? Well, you
can go in through the
"front door" by typing
http://www. wikipedia.com
into yourWeb browser and
then clicking the English
link (or whatever language
you are most comfortable
with for that matter).
This will bring you to the
main page (which changes
daily) where you will find
some trivia, some random
subjects and some news
articles from various
sources. On the left-hand
side of the page, you will
see a series of links .
(including the aforemen-
tioned recent changes.link,
FAQs, help, etc.) and at
about halfway down, a
search dialogue box. Type
in whatever information
you are looking for, click
search, and that instantly
brings you to the most
relevant match.
If the results are not
what you are looking for,
look for alink labeled
"other uses." This will
bring you to a page that
lists all the matched
results i father than the one
match that it thinks is
most relevant.

RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR
It's that time of the year again---time for resolutions. People are considering what
positive life changes they can make, and planning ways to make personal and family
goals a tangible reality in the year ahead. If one of your goals is to become more finan-
Scially secure, a highly reliable means of accomplishing that is through expanding your
Real Estate Investments.
-Real estate over the past 50 years has proven to be one of the strongest long-term
investment available, demonstrated by the fact that the national median home price
has increased 88% over the past ten years. The demand for real estate is always expand-
ing fueled by the ever-growing population and immigrating families.
In spite of what you may think---2006 will be the third best performing year on
record for home sales nationally and economists predict about the same level of activi-
ty in 2007. Over the last year sellers have had to adjust to the market transition and are
offering more competitive pricing in addition to incentives. Mortgage interest rates are
still near historic lows and there are loan products available for just about anyone. In
most areas there are many homes to choose from and time allowed for negotiation.
Overall, we have one of the most favorable markets for buyers in several years.
If you would like to discuss what type of mortgage loan will work best for you, call
Christy Hauge at Palm Beach Financial Network, 772-283-7111 or email your
question to chauge@pbfn.com, or, visit her office at

"Most minimum wage earners are teens
and older workers who work tough jobs; part
time jobs that do not require a lot of skill,"

Gwenda Thompson


ers approved the mini-
mum wage constitutional
amendment by more than
70 percent. The increase
covers all employees in the
state covered by the federal
minimum wage.
Florida's minimum wage
is $1.52 more than the cur-
rent $5.15 federal mini-
mum wage which was a
hot topic during the elec-
tions last November.
Agency for Workforce
Innovation performs an
annual calculation to
establish a new minimum
wage each year. Voters in
each state decide the states
fate.
Teenage employees such
as Mya, who work more
than 20 hours a week, will
see an extra $8 to $10 per
week on their paychecks.
Many teens work to pay
for car insurance, clothes
and weekend entertain-
ment.
S"Most minimum wage


nice because the cost of
living is expensive and
keeps going up."
Mrs. Thompson wanted
to remind business owners
that they are required to
post the new minimum
wage increase at work. She
said business owners
could visit the Florida Web
site, www.floridajobs.org.
and go to a link that has a
minimum wage poster
that can be printed and
hung up to inform employ-
ees of the increase.
"Some employers are
small and have not
thought about the
increase or don't keep up
with the latest changes.
This will help them and
their employees," she
said.
Joe Catrambone, presi-
dent and chief executive
officer of the Stuart/Mar-
tin County Chamber of
Commerce, said "I have
not heard from anyone in
Martin County about the
increase, which tells me
that there is not any broad
based negative thoughts
about it from business
owners."

Daily tours
available on
the Indian
River Lagoon
BY KIM COTTON
Staff writer
STUART The warm
ocean breeze blew
through our hair as we
welcomed 2007 from the
waters of the Indian River
Lagoon.
My husband, Matt, and
I were aboard the Island
Princess for New Years
festivities. In its fifth sea-
son under new owners
Capt. Bob and Lori Miller,
the boat sails daily on the
river year-round.
During the day, year-
round, they offer scenic
tours of the Indian River.
They set sail at night for
special occasions, such as
New Years and the Fourth
of July.
The Island Princess has
a full bar and a delicious
menu of specially pre-
pared foods for tourists
and locals alike, the
Millers said.
"We want people to get
off and say the food is as
good as any restaurant,"
Mrs. Miller said.
The food was good on
our trip. We had prime
rib, with fresh green
beans and potatoes. It
was served with a salad
and rolls.
After dinner we went on
top to the upper deck for
entertainment. While sail-
ing south on the Indian
River toward Jupiter
Island, fireworks explod-
ed around us, lighting up


the natural beauty of the
area.
"There are a lot of peo-
ple who live in the area
who haven't really experi-
enced the area from the
water," Capt. Miller said.
During the daytime
tours, Capt. Miller nar-
rates about the wildlife
they encounter on the
river. The couple said dol-
phins are frequently spot-
ted at the bow of the boat,
riding the waves.
The Island Princess is
an 82-foot boat, which is
U.S. Coast Guard-certi-
fied to hold 142 passen-
gers. It has been in service
since 1988, always out of
the Hutchinson Island
Marriott Beach. Resort
and Marina. The lower
deck is enclosed, so the
weather doesn't affect
tours.
"We can go rain or
shine," Mrs. Miller said.
The downstairs is also
air conditioned, so sum-
mer tours are not a prob-
lem, she added.
The couple moved to
Stuart from Delray Beach
five years ago, when they
bought the Island
Princess.
"I've run boats most of
my life," Capt. Miller said.
"I've always had it in my
mind to own my boat. My
wife says it's my dream
and her nightmare."
Mrs. Miller worked at
Delray Medical" Center
when she made the jump
to the marine business.
The couple both grew
up in Florida and met on
a boat 16 years ago. Capt.
Miller has always worked

A CAR DEALER YOU CAN TRUST


This headline will
I probably get me in
trouble with some of my
fellow car dealers. I used it
to get your attention and
because it is the common
public perception that car
dealers are not to be .
trusted. But I also used /
it because too many car
dealers still "don't get it".

If you are ethical, bright,
and seeking a job that you
look forward to doing every
day, I ask you to consider
joining our team at
Earl Stewart Toyota.
** We recently moved
into our newly
completed Toyota --'
dealership on the .
North Palm Beach
Lake Park US-1 border.
We doubled our size and
we have a need for new
team members.

We often hire and train people
from outside the car business
because it is easier, to find
people with no car dealership
experience who fit our unique
culture. However, even if you
are working in a car dealership
today but are not proud of what
you do or how you do it, maybe
Earl Stewart Toyota is the place
you should consider.

Briefly, these are some of the
things we do differently from
most other car dealers:

(1) We offer our customers
and employees direct access
to the owner, me Earl Stewart.
That means my home and cell
telephone numbers. It means 4
RED HOTLINE telephones in
the dealership which connect
directly to my cell phone. It


"EARL STEWART"

means that when you call Earl
Stewart Toyota there is no one
screening my calls (or any other
employee's calls) and you are
connected directly, always. It
means that my office door is
always open and anyone can
just walk in for a chat.


(2) Our policy Is that it is
not important whether our
customers are "right'; 'r :'wrong"
about an issue. If the customer
"believes" she is right, we do
whatever is necessary to make
her happy. That can;include full
refunds on new or used vehicles.
I empower every member of my
team to spend or do whatever is
necessary to make a customer
happy if a supervisor is not
immediately available to handle
a complaint.


(3) We are the only
car dealer I know who

should not fight it, but
rather swim parallel to the
shoreline. Fighting it only
makes the person tired.
"The current will even-
tually run out and then the
person can let the waves
push them back into
shore," Mr. Kostygan
said.
Each morning the Mar-
tin County lifeguards
assess and list the surf
conditions, along with the
high and low tide times for
the day. They also take the
water temperature and
write down the conditions
on the information boards
for visitors to read.
Mr. Kostygan said resi-
dents with out-of-town
guests should explain the
information on the sign
and the colors of the flag
posted on the lifeguard
tower to help their guests
remain safe while at the
beach.
*A red flag means: Dan-
ger, no swimming, condi-
tions are too dangerous.
*A yellow flag means:
Caution, water getting
dangerous, swim with
great care.
*A green flag means:
Water is safe for swim-
ming, but take care all the
same.
*A double red flag
means: Beach is closed.
*A purple flag means:
Watch for sea pests.
The sea pest infestation
information such as jelly-
fish, man-o-war and sea
lice is listed on the infor-
mation sign.
"If a swimmer is bitten
by a man-o-war, they will
know it. It is like an electri-
cal shock that turns into a
burn like from a hot iron.
It is extremely painful, and
can be dangerous. If bit-
ten, go directly to the life-
guard tower. Some people
are allergic to the poison
and go into shock," Mr.
Kostygan said.
"Jellyfish stings and sea
lice are irritants, but not
deadly. Lifeguards have
ointments at the tower to
help."
Mr. Kostygan said that
all of the lifeguards are
athletic with strong swim-
ming ability. They are
required to have an emer-
gency medical technician
certificate, and are put on
a six-month probation
period when hired. They
rotate within the four
beaches in Martin County,
and train each morning
from 9 to 10 a.m.
"Each morning we go
through our routine of
stretching, swimming,
running and practicing
lifesaving skills, it keeps us
in shape and fresh," said
Mike Mammen, one of the
Martin County lifeguards.
Lifeguard Dustin Reagle
also said, "Each beach is
equipped with an ATV; res-
cue boards, ocean Kayaks
and hard and soft buoys,
all of which we practice
with to stay fit."
"When you're saving a
life there is no time to
think, you just jump into
action. It's a good feeling
to save someone," Mr.
Morrow said. "I love my
job. Everyday is new and
exciting. The beach is a
cool place to be, I'd be here
even if I wasn't a lifeguard.
I was wired for this," he
added.
Martin County has 15
active lifeguards.

Local weather buff goes national


Web site linked
to NOAA
BY KIM COTTON
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE When
Joe Zelenak was a 5-year-
old boy in New Jersey, he
became fascinated by the
weather. His lifelong pas-
sion reached a pinnacle
just after Christmas. Mr.
Zelenak, now 53, found
out he would have a link to
his weather Web site on
the National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administra-
tion's Web site
"I was super excited,"
Mr. Zelenak said. "To me,
it is the ultimate achieve-
ment to get a link on
NOAA. The Weather Chan-
nel doesn't even have a
link."
Mr. Zelenak maintains a
Web site, hometown-
weather.net, which offers
visitors a plethora of
weather information for
the Treasure Coast. One
area of his site is a live
stream of weather infor-
mation that is broadcast
over weather radios.
Weather radios send out
alerts 24 hours a day,
seven days a week when-
ever severe weather affects
the area.
"Everyone should have
one," Mr. Zelenak said.
"But I simulcast the feed
over the Internet so any-
onewithout the radios can
hear the information. Also,
if you are on vacation in
another part of the coun-
try, then you can find out
what's going on with the
weather in Port St. Lucie
over the Internet."
The link for Mr. Zele-
nak's Web site is in the
NOAA's weather radio sec-
tion, and offers streaming
audio from weather sites
across the country. Mr.
Zelenak's site is under the
Fort Pierce listing.
When the link is clicked
on, it takes the viewer to a
live Web shot of Mr. Zele-
Snak's home, while the
audio is the weather radio
information.
Mr. Zelenak, who once
wrote a weather column
for Hometown News and
now writes a garden col-
umn for the paper, has
been studying weather
since he was five. By eight,
he was tracking hurri-
canes, making his own
maps and waiting hours
for coordinate updates.
Now he has up-to-the-
minute tropical updates.
Mr. Zelenak, who is a
garden specialist at the
Sears Essentials store in
Stuart, said he is not a pro-
fessional meteorologist.
"I do forecasts in my
blogs, but I always say that
I am not a meteorologist,
and the information is just
my own opinion," he said.
"Sometimes I'm right, and
sometimes I'm not."
Over the years he has
read weather books and
taken online courses
before finally launching
his Web site, joesdis-
coweathercentral.com, in
2000. He runs his Web site
with five computers in his
Port St. Lucie home. He
said he gets an average of
11,000 page views a day to
his site.
"(Being on NOAA) will
help with search engines,
by getting my site out
there," Mr. Zelenak said.
Albert Kraus, dissemina-
tion services meteorolo-
gist for NOAA, said Mr.
Zelenak's site was chosen
as part of an outreach pro-
gram for NOAA's weather
radio program. /
"There is quite a bit of
interest in listening to 'live'

BY RITA HART
Staff writer

He was born on Jan. 15,
1929. He was only 39 when
an assassin's bullets
silenced him on April 4,
1968.
In his short time on
earth, Martin Luther King
Jr. graduated from high
school at 15 and earned a
bachelor's degree from
Morehouse College in
Atlanta. At Crozer Theolog-
ical Seminary in Pa,, he
was awarded a bachelor of
divinity degree, and later, a
doctorate from Boston
University.
In 1954, he became the
pastor of the Dexter
Avenue Baptist Church in
Montgomery, Ala.
In1955, Dr. King led a
nonviolent demonstration
and boycott that lasted 382
days. The boycott was the
result of protests against
segregation on buses.
Shortly thereafter, on Dec.
21, 1956, the U.S. Supreme
Court declared the laws
requiring such segregation
unconstitutional.
In 1957, as president of
the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference,


Dr. King traveled millions
of miles and spoke thou-
sands of times against civil
rights injustices, including
the march on Washington,
D.C. where he delivered his
"I Have a Dream" speech to
250,000 people.
In his short life span, he
earned five honorary
degrees, "Time Magazine"
proclaimed him Man of
theYear, and in 1964, when
he was just 35, he became
the youngest person to
receive the Nobel Peace
Prize.
In honor of Dr. King's life
and accomplishments, the
nation celebrates his birth-
day on Jan. 15.
In Martin County, sever-
al events have been
planned for this purpose,
said Arnold R. Stanberry,
President of the Martin
County NAACP
One event to honor Dr.
King will take place on Fri-
day, Jan. 12, when guest
speaker Dr. Henry Lyons,
national missionary Bap-
tist director, will appear at
New Mount Zion Mission-
ary Baptist Church, 8224
S.E. Pettway St., Hobe
Sound at 7 p.m. This pro-
gram is being presented by

or family in an area, and
still others from people
who are curious when a
significant weather event
is going on in an area."
But he added that resi-
dents should not rely com-
pletely on the Internet
audio streams for their
emergency information,
since "severe weather like
tornadoes and hurricanes
can easily cut the power


and/or communications
to an area, rendering a
computer useless."
Mr. Zelenak too supports
the use of weather radios,
but is still enjoying the fact
that his weather Web site is
now linked to NOAA.
"This is so cool," he said.

will take place from 9 a.m.-
9 p.m., with food vendors,
a variety of booths,
speeches honoring Dr.
King and activities that will
promote discussions
about civil rights issues.
"Most people want to


celebrate the birthday of
Martin Luther King," said
Mr. Stanberry, "but they
should be celebrating a
change within themselves
to really make his dream
come true. He gave his life
for us, but we are not mak-
ing the commitment to.
actually make the dream
become real."
Mr. Stanberry said that
the ideals of Dr. King
should not be practiced or
celebrated only on the date
of his birth.
"A lot of us in Martin
County share the same
concerns; we just are not
united together. That is
what we are pushing for'
this year, to bring together
non-profit organizations,
churches, and businesses:
that can step up to the
plate for the simple issues
that Martin Luther King
fought for. Martin County
can be a better place for all
people, of all colors and all
economic positions, if we
come together," said Mr.
Stanberry.

Children of

prisoners become

children of promise


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS


According to the National
Crime Prevention Council,
crime rates today are com-
parable to those of the
1970s, but the incarcera-
tion rate is four times high-
er today than it was then.
It's a sobering reality that
seven out of ten children of
incarcerated parents will
end up in the juvenile jus-
tice system, unless some-
thing is done to reverse the
statistic.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of
St. Lucie and Indian River
Counties recently received
a grant to implement a
program called Children of
Promise, an Amachi-mod-
eled program, which
matches community-based
mentors with, youngsters
whose parents are incarcer-
ated.
To help introduce the
program to the community,
Big Brothers Big Sisters'
board of directors invited
the Rev. Wilson Goode, for-
mer mayor of Philadelphia,
-Pa., and founder of the
Amachi program.
The Amachi program is a
faith-based mentoring pro-
gram, which is based on the
Big Brothers Big Sisters
model of one-to-one com-
munity mentoring.
The Rev. Goode selected
the name Amachi, a Niger-
ian Ibo word which means,
"Who knows but what'God
has brought us through this
child," to represent the pro-
gram and its mission.
An ordained Baptist Min-
ister with more than 50
years of service at the First
Baptist Church of Paschall
in southwest Philadelphia,
the Rev. Goode has been
honored both nationally
tnd internationally for his
work in faith-based men-
toring and was recently
awarded the $100,000 Pur-
pose Prize. He has also
authored two books, In
Goode Faith, and Building
from The Ground Up.
Many people attending
the introductory event to
kick off the Children of
Promise program were sur-
prised to learn that the
accomplished writer,
charismatic speaker, and
former mayor of one of the
country's largest cities,
grew up as the child of an
incarcerated parent. He
said he bear'the odds of
ending up in jail himself
due to the caring mentor-
ing of his pastor. : `,
On hand to help kick off
the volunteer mentoring
programs introduction in
this area, the Rev. Goode
spoke to a full-house crowd
of St. Lucie and Indian
River County pastors and
community leaders at the
Children of Promise Break-


fast in December in Fort
Pierce.
The Rev. Goode shared
moving stories of grandfa-
thers, fathers, and sons
who shared a cellblock, and
mothers who shared a jail
cell with their own daugh-
ters. Many in the audience
held back tears as he told of
children who, when asked
what they wanted to be
when 'they grow up,
answered matter-of-factly
that they wanted to go to
jail so they could be with
their dad or mom.
"I went to a prison and
saw a grandfather, father,
and grandson, all in the
same prison at the same
time, and they told me that
they met for the first time in
prison," said the Rev.
Goode. "When I was about
to leave, the grandson
pulled me aside and told
me that, he too, had a son
whom he had not seen, and
he presumed he would
meet him for the first time
in prison also."
Women and girls are in
no way immune to the epi-
demic of incarceration.
According to Bureau of Jus-
tice Statistics, the number
of women inmates has
grown at an average annual
rate of 8.5 percent since
1990, and has increased by
92 percent. By the end of
2004, more than 1.5 million
women were under correc-
tional care.
Often, the children of
incarcerated parents are in
a prison of their own -
ostracized by schoolmates
and neighbors, handed
from relative to relative,
caregiver to caregiver, or
placed in foster care situa-
tions, which are transition-
al.
There is shame, loneli-
ness, fear, frustration and
anger, which are all natural
feelings for a child in such a
horrific situation. But a
child should not have to
suffer because of someone
else's bad choices.
Before the initial meeting
was concluded, the Rev.
Goode asked for members
of the group to volunteer as
mentors for the Children of
Promise Program.
Fifty-six individuals
stood with the Rev. Goode,

Lucie and Indian River
counties is likely the largest
ever received for a pro-
gram's introduction.
Unfortunately, there is
great need in both St. Lucie
and Indian River counties
for a program that serves
children of incarcerated
parents and caregivers.
Sadly, the need far out-
weighs the number of vol-
unteers who have agreed to
the one-year commitment
of one hour each week, and
there 'will likely be a long
waiting list.
For information about
Children of Promise pro-
gram, or to learn how to
become a part of this
community and faith-
based initiative and help
turn the tide on the fright-
ening statistics that sen-
tence children to a life
behind bars and barbed
wire, contact Big Brothers
Big Sisters at (772) 466-

Delicious, healthy quiches, a great
appetizer and a gelatin salad


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well


,Moving


.toward


exercise

Think that almost
everybody, every year,
resolves to exercise
,more.
-. We all know that we
Should; we know that it's
:good for us for a lot of
l seasons. We know that
'we'll look and feel better,
:and our clothes will fit
better. If that's true, why
:'Aren't we all exercising
-fools?
: I think it may be that
getting started is one part
of the equation, and
maintaining enthusiasm
9for it is another part. You
Have to be willing to work
0in both ends to make
exercise work for you.
': This year, instead of
writing about choosing a
Fitness center, which is
:,not an option for many of
you because of cost,
distance or shyness, I
thought I'd talk about
."The Power of One."
SThat's my way of
suggesting making one
-change in your routine at
a time. Trying to train for a
marathon when you
haven't run before is a
prescription for failure.
The first thing to do is to
:examine your day and see
:where you can incorpo-
-rate exercise. Can you
-:alk to work or the store
hi-stead of driving? Can
you park in a distant
43pace and walk to your
ilestination, instead of
parking in the closest
pace?
I" If you're going to the
: mall, can you make
.-several trips around, just
-:alking, before you start
to window shop? Little
steps like that get you
Tnoving and get your mind
: See ALIVE, B6


H ello, smart shoppers. I
hope you had a good
week!
I am available for talks. Call
the paper at (772) 465-5656.
Be sure to read the ordering
instructions for my cookbook
at the end of the column.
Today's column will give you
a wonderful appetizer, thanks
-to Christy Watts.
Then we will enter a forbid-
den world for those of you who
must watch the fat and choles-
terol. We're going to make
quiche. Stick with me; I will
give you alternatives that will
allow you to eat this normally
high-fat, high-cholesterol food.
I have spent many hours
checking recipes, adding,
changing and subtracting to
see if a low-fat quiche could be
accomplished. I came up with
one that turned out to be more
bread than quiche. No good.
I finally created recipes that
will make all quiche lovers
happy. The major source of fat
is in the crust. If there is a low-
fat crust out there, I can't find
it. Remember, when I speak of
fat, many times I'm referring to
saturated fat.
Most fat-free cheeses taste
like wax and will not melt. Kraft
fat-free slices are really good,
and they melt the way cheese
should. They come in Ameri-
can, Swiss, cheddar and
mozzarella.
Romano and Parmesan
cheeses are high in fat, and the
amount can be reduced if you
choose. I have yet to find a
suitable substitution.
The quiche can be made


without the crust.
Simply treat a pan
with cooking spray
first. If you prefer it
with a crust, as I do,
make sure most of
the other ingredi-
ents are low in fat '
or fat-free. The
crust will add only
a little fat.
When cream is
required, substitute
evaporated skim
milk, undiluted or
Land O' Lakes fat-free half and
half. You cannot omit whole
eggs entirely. I have found that
anything that has a custard-like
consistency must have at least
one egg yolk to rise properly.
In looking through my
recipes, I found one using
biscuit mix. I used low-fat
biscuit mix and reduced the oil
slightly. It's both delicious and
easy.
Quiche makes a delicious
meal when served with assort-
ed fresh fruits and melons or a
gelatin salad. It can be pre-
pared and baked in advance
and heated in the oven just
before serving.
Enjoy! See you next week.

There is no sign of slowing down. Luck doesn't

Taurus-April 20-May 20
You can't change another person. You can
change your'reactions and how you handle
things coming your way. Keep a lighter touch
when faced with challenges. Say. "This too shall
pass." Stay centered, no matter what comes your
way. Refuse to let the world or negative atti-
tudes pull you down or stress you out. Stay
above the small stuff. You have more important
things to do with your life, thank you.

back, catch a second wind, regroup and move

Smart Shopping:
The Guru's
Money-saving
Tips
Will those who throw their spices
away after a year or two please
stand up? I knew it; not one of you
did. The cost of spices today is
outrageous, and unless something
in the jar is walking or growing, I
never replace it. The only thing that
can happen is they lose some of
their strength, so use a little more,
except for baking powder and
baking soda.


The Guru's
Special Hint
Any food that is a custard must
have at least one egg yolk to help
it rise.

M other Earth con-
stantly faces and
moves toward the
future one day at a time.
She doesn't get anxious,
speed up and try to get to
next week today.
She doesn't come to a stop
and try to go backward and
change the past. The past is
like a canceled check, the
present is like cash and the
future is a promissory note.
Which of these can we
spend? The cash in the
present, of course.
Do you feel stuck, side-
tracked or pushed backward
in life? Do you feel over-
worked, underloved or not
respected?
Are you upset, angry, hurt,
fearful, sad, disappointed or
feeling let down? All these
things and anything else
that is sidetracking you can
be changed, once you see
and understand the grand
plan of life is plenty of the
good stuff.
Living a life of negativity
and focusing on trying to
change what has already
happened is a choice. You
can't change what has
happened in the past.
There is a better way to
live. There is a better choice
that can bring you more
love, peace, health, abun-
dance, faith, truth, joy,
success, creativity and the
good stuff that you can't
imagine until you begin to
work with the supreme law

The Spirit Guide
nature and that everything
was connected. This is the
foundation of his Theory of
Relativity. The basic concept
is that what we sow we are
supposed to reap back
multiplied to the source. If it
doesn't, it is usually human
error that kept the principle
from working.
Let's play! I want to share
with you an easy, fun and
eye-opening example of this
supreme law of the uni-
verse. If you have a pool of
water outside on your patio
or in your yard, drop a rock
or some other solid objection
the middle of the water.
What happens? The
ripples or waves go out to
the outside and then begin
to come back to the center
until all the energy has been
dissipated.
If you don't have an
outside pool, pour sufficient
water in the largest round
pan you have in the kitchen.
Let it grow still. Then drop a
small stone or marble in the
middle and observe what
happens.
The ripples go out to the
outside and then come back
to the center.
In churches, this principle
is called the Golden Rule. In
physics and metaphysics it's
called cause-effect or
action-reaction. What we
sow, we reap.
Mother Earth is a power-
ful teacher of this law and
the giver of second chances.
She says that no matter
what happened to last year's
crop, whether the flood,
drought, bugs or human
error killed it before harvest,
that the law of the circle


gives second chances.
The first step of renewal is
to look at the past as our
teacher and learn from it.
Then bless it for what it
taught us, forgive it instead
of judging it, release it and
move on and grow a new
and better life.
We can't change what has
already happened. It's a
great waste of time, energy,
.resources or spirit to dwell
on what has or what might
have been.
If you don't like what you
are growing, then change
the seeds you are sowing.
When we get out of our
own way, we stop letting
anger, doubt, fear, hunger,
sadness or indecision
consume us. This lets a
sense of renewed hope and
promise begin to come into
our hearts and make us feel
like new, and better things
are possible.
SThe true spiritual path is
the transformation of an
idea, vision, dream or
inspiration that has popped
into our mind into a seed of
desire planted in the heart
and turned into a living
thing.
Here is how the process
works in nature. First, we
prepare the soil by releasing
the negativity and trash
accumulated from the past.
Then we have to know what
we want to grow. The
desired seeds are planted in
fertile soil at the new moon.
Next, we water the seeds,
cover them up, surrender
them, wait and ask for the
universe to bless them and
give them life. We don't grow
the crop. The universe grows
the crop.
Do you have patience? If
not, it's because you think
you have to grow the crop.
If you were a farmer, you
wouldn't go out every day
and dig up your seed to see
if it's growing. If you did, it
would kill it. You haven't
learned patience, surrender
and trust in the higher will,
which are spiritual more
than earthly qualities.
Ego-based people who try
to control everything are
living on the outside of their
true cause and purpose. In

the Spirit Guide columns I
call it the power of the
universe. Whatever our
relationship is to it, it is the
center of our circle of life
and is the seed and source
of life.
Going back to the garden,
one daywe go out and find a
little green shoot coming
out of the ground. This is a
reading of the sign of a great
blessing. This is the sign we
have been wanting and
waiting for.
The magnificent blessing
of the universe has now
come upon us. An idea has
given birth. A baby has been
born. Help and rear it as you
would a child. Don't over-
feed or water it. You will kill
it from kindness. Don't
neglect or abandon it as
well. Help it grow bloom,
bear fruit and bring forth
the harvest, gratitude and
blessing of its divine destiny
and purpose. This same
blessing is living in each of
our souls right now, crying
to be released.
The most important thing
you will ever do in life is
find, bless and release the
potential seed of greatness
living in your heart, plant it
in your own soul and help it
give birth, grow, blossom
and bring forth the harvest.
Visualizing a better life
that helps you manifest your
true destiny of people,
events and things that give
you new causes, hopes,
freedom and happiness is
possible using the exact
same universal, spiritual
and earthly principles
described above. Read the
next column about how to
do it. You can do it.
You can have a positive,
blessed, peaceful, healthy,
abundant, fearless, joyous,
creative and love-filledlife.
No matter what has
happened in the past, we all
have been given second
chances to get it right. You
are an heir to the riches of
the universe. Become
childlike, open your heart,
plant positive seeds and
grow a new and richer life.
You were born to do it.
Then once you see the
blessings of the universe
growing in your heart and
spirit, feel worthy to receive
it back when it comes.
Let abundance of all
things fow to you multi-
plied. The more you receive,
the more you can give. First
take care of yourself and
family. Then give back to
those who shared their light
and truth to you. Keep your
spiritualfamily going;

Scopes
From page B1
the right track.
You know what you want,
and you continue to make
good things happen. Your
time is becoming more valu-
able. Keep a strong focus on
your top priorities and
refuse to put much time to
lesser ones. They can wait.
Your creative vision says, "It's
time to move that big proj-
ect forward." This is divine
order and the sign of a rich
blessing on the way.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept 22
You seem to have been
born under a lucky star. At
the last minute when it
seems like things are not
going to work out, they turn
around in your favor. The
key is to not worry about the
future outcome. Trust your


instincts, speak from the
heart and walk your talk.
Time moves on and so does
your life. Refuse to let fear,
doubt or indecision hold
you back and rob you of
peace of mind. You are
earthy with a strong sense of
purpose. You deserve the
best and can have it.

Lbra-Sept. 23-O. 22
This is your message from the
universe this week Say this
our loud each day upon aris-
ing, "My life is filled with joy,
peace, love, health and pros-
perity. I gladly share my bless-
ings with others. I take time
each day to be alone with my
source to heal, renew and be
inspired. This is my day. I will
make the best of all that I have
been given. I see good in
myself and all others I meet I
surrender my will and let the


universe work through me.
Now everyone is truly blessed
and more is on the way'

Scorpio-Oct. 3-Nov. 21
The moon in Scorpio gives
you an emotional boost just
when you need it the most.
The holidays are over, and
the new year has begun.
Write down your goals for
the new year. Gird yourself
with the necessary tools and
equipment and set out on
these wonderful adventures
filled with the hope and
promise of much success.
Let the main goal be to con-
tinue your own spiritual
growth first. You are special,
too, you know. Follow your
heart, and you will prosper
greatly.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Your main challenge is to
take care of your health and


find ways to balance your
active life. You don't have to
be all things to all people
anymore. Make a list each
night of your main priorities
and affirm them out loud.
This creates a rippling effect
in the energy surrounding
the ideas being addressed.
Then when you take action
and there is pain, struggle or
hardship you know that this
one doe not have the bless-
ing. Back off and try some-
thing else. until you see posi-
tive results.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The sun and Mercury are in
your sign wanting to help you
on your journey through life.
Mercury rules the mind and
intellect You already have
strong thoughts and feelings.
This alignment just adds to
your power. The sun rules the


instincts. It is your solar cen-
ter. This says to not act on
your thoughts without check-
ing on how deeply you feel
about the action at hand. Fol-
low this plan, and you will
see wonderful sure patterns
of action open and come to
pass throughout the year.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Venus and Neptune in
Aquarius give you a strong
creative edge now. This is.
the perfect time to begin
that new year's goal. Venus
rules the heart. Follow your
heart. Do what you love first
and then let this emotionally
charged energy lift you to
even greater heights. Make
the most of strong, positive
energy while it is there. Like
the tides, it eventually
wanes. Neptune's influence
give a sense of balanced


rhythm and creative vision.
The next few months are
sure to bring you much cre-
ative success when you use
it.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
There are several new
opportunities coming your
way. With Uranus in Pisces,
the ones you pursue have a
universal blessing upon
them. Just remember that
without being rooted in and
supported by the sourceyou
have to work way too hard
trying to make it happen on
your own. Only follow up
when it feels right in your
heart. You have a huge one.
It's your internal radar. Really
listen closely, act when it
feels right. and you will con-
tinue to emerge victorious in
your main goals.
- James Tucker


Spirit
From page B2


Take care of those who
inspired you. This keeps
them going. Then when
others see the awesome
things you are doing with
your life, their hunger for
truth will show. Teach them.
Show them.
Now the rippling effect is
going out and coming back
for everyone. Now that
everyone has plenty of the
good stuff, there is no war,
hate, disease, poverty, fear,
sadness or greed. We are free
to live positive lives, justify
our existence and live in the
light. This is why we're here.
My greatest wish is that you
find all these things and
more today and for all your
future days to come.
You do it by becoming it.
The good news is that the
best is yet to come.

rFiuay, Ijaimca ic HuLM n I


Already looking forward to springtime


One of the greatest
ways to start out the
new year is to start
sprucing up your garden
for the spring season. One
of my favorite plants is a
winter bloomer called the
Panama rose.
Panama rose is a cool
weather-blooming plant
that boasts deep rose-pink
flowers. The plant does
very well in our Florida
winters; however, the plant
must be protected from
freezing temperatures, as
it will not survive a freeze.
This will be especially
true for our friends who
live north ofVero Beach.
The plant has an added
bonus of being an attrac-
tant to butterflies.
After sunset, the Pana-
ma rose will emit a light
fragrance. The flowers are
sometimes used in mak-
ing perfume products.
While Panama roses
bloom mainly during the
cooler months, you can
keep the plants going year-
round by placing them in a
slightly protected area so
they do not get the full brunt
of the sun all day long
during the summer months..
It is also a good idea to
trim the plants (no more


than one-third the total
growth) around June to
keep the bush from
getting too leggy. In
addition, the plant should
be watered on a regular
basis, but be careful not to
over water or allow the
plant to remain in stand-
ing water.
You may have to shop
around to find these,
especially if you live in the
northern Florida or
coastal areas. I do have a
location that carries them
in Stuart. If you drop me
an e-mail, I will send you
the location. The best way
by far to shop for plant
availability is by phone.
The Yellow Pages is an
excellent source for
locating nurseries that are
close to your.ZIP code.
OK, if you're reAlly into
fragrance, how about
planting a gardenia bush?
These beautiful plants
come in various varieties,
but by far the best for
outdoor use is the Miami
supreme. They are readily
available at most local
nurseries.
The Miami supreme
boasts large, pure white
flowers that emit one of
the most delightful fra-


grances around. It is very
difficult to walk by a
gardenia without smiling
and taking a long whiff of
the sweet-smelling fra-
grance.
These plants will bloom
primarily during the
-winter and spring but can
bloom sporadically during
other times of the year,
too. You can use these
plants in containers, or
you can plant them
directly in the ground. The
plant should have an east
or northeast exposure
away from the direct
afternoon sun.
Gardenia plants enjoy
regular, ample watering
but do not like their feet
in standing water. A well-
drained location is best.
They love lots of organic
matter in their soil, so
using manure or other
organic soil dressings is
helpful. They are also an
acid-loving plant, so
feeding with an acid
plant food such as
Miracid is extremely
helpful.
Occasionally, you may
have to add some supple-
mental iron if the leaves
begin to turn yellow.
Gardenias can be easily


trimmed to shape, so their
uses are universal. Since
they can grow to six feet
tall and four feet wide,
they make a great hedge
with an added bonus of
fragrance.

Youth art
workshop slated
at prayer gathering
In conjunction with the
Open Heavens Centers
Regional Prayer Gathering
and Conference, a free
youth art workshop is
scheduled from noon to 2


take. An ideal goal is
10,000 steps a day. Spend
a day and see how far you
actually do go. If it's
2,000, aim to increase
that by about 500 the
first wieek. Try to add
some each week. A
pedometer is a reminder
to keep moving; you'll be
surprised at how quickly
the numbers add up.
I am a big fan of exer-
cise videos. They can be'
used at any time, they
have music to keep you
interested, you can
exercise despite rainy or
hot weather and there
are many to choose from.
Collage Videos sells
many of them, and you
can even preview some
online at www.collagev-
ideo. com.
If you're Internet savvy,
you can find some on
eBay, and the library
often has some to take
out and try. I like Leslie
Sansone, a fitness expert
whose programs are built
around simple walking
steps, and Denise Austin,
who has some beginner
tapes as well.
Choose something you
can do, because the best
program in the world
won't work if it's too
difficult and you don't
like it. You can even find
specialized one, such as
kickboxing, step aero-

Martin County High School



goes 'thoroughly modern'


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer

When members of the Martin
County High School Fine Arts
Department brings the Broadway
musical "Thoroughly Modern
Millie" to life Jan. 25-28 and Feb. 1-
3, they'll be one of the first high
school groups to perform the
show.
"We were lucky," said director
Kristal Eckhardt. "It just ended its
national tour last spring and has
just been released for use by high
schools or community theaters. It's
a hard show to get."
Based on the 1967 movie of the
same name, which starred Julie
Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore and
Carol Channing, the show is set in
the flapper era of the 1920s. It has
been re-scored and has only one of
the original songs.
Brittany Weir stars as Millie
Dillmount of Kansas, who goes to
NewYork determined to marry her
wealthy boss, whoever he may be.
Ms. Eckhardt says she has a
talented cast.
"There are 48 actors, singers and
dancers in the cast, and there's
incredible talent this year," she
said. "I'm very lucky every year."
Also appearing in featured roles
are Jack Bourret, Jenni Lawton,
James Channing, Kirsten Jaskela,
Alicia Tomosko, Kaitlin Froom,
Ross Alagna and Keith Oaks. The
last two actors, who play Ching Ho
and Bun Foo, have an added task

School production of

beyond just learning their lines.
"They have to learn to speak
Mandarin Chinese and sing in
Cantonese," Ms. Eckhardt said.
"The company sends a rehearsal
CD with an actor saying the lines,
but it's been a real challenge.
They've really tackled it."


Tickets for the show are $5 for
kids and senior citizens, and $10
for everyone else.
"It's very funny," Ms. Eckhardt
added. "It's,a good, family show."

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

STUART More than
250 guests enjoyed 'the
exquisite cuisine of the
chefs at the Great Chef
Adventure on Monday,
Dec. 11, at the Samaritan
House for Boys on Cove
Road in Stuart.
Chefs included: Tom
Gardner, of the Jupiter
Island Club; Clemens Kuh-
lig, of McArthur's; Brenda
Janus, of Harbour Ridge;
Mitchell Pagan, of Mariner
Sands Country Club; and
Aaron Janus, of Admiral's
Cove.
These chefs gathered for
an innovative food men-
toring and fund-raising
luncheon. The culinary
event also included silent
and live auctions.
The origin of the "adven-
ture" came from board
member Dan Gesheidle,
who was inspired by his
son, Tom Gesheidle, an
executive chef in a club up
north. His son had previ-
ously worked with children
in another chef-mentoring
project.
In addition to the sump-
tuous food, and two family
success stories, there was
an inspirational perform-
ance by the boys of the
Samaritan House depict-
ing the purposeful life and
death of Jesus Christ.
The boys welcomed
guests and showed them to
their tables. Another high-
light at the event was hon-
oring Lou Hampton for the
establishment of a $50,000
permanent scholarship
fund for Samaritan House.
The surprise visit added
to the recognition when
son, Reed Hampton of Ver-
mont, and son-in-law,

of America, plus a dinner


for 10 prepared in your
home by executive chef
Tom Gardner.
All items brought in sig-
nificant dollars to support
the programs and services
provided by the Samari-
tan House for Boys.
The event raised more
than $150,000 to benefit
the Samaritan House. for.
Boys, a nonprofit organi-
zation founded to provide
family love, education,
and discipline to at-risk

T here's something
about seeing the
image of the Sydney
Opera House and expan-
sive Harbour Bridge that
leaves you dreaming of
your vacation to the South
Pacific long after it ended.
And although you will
enjoy every moment
exploring cosmopolitan
cities such as Sydney in
Australia and Christchurch
in New Zealand, it is the
natural landscape of these
two countries that leaves
an indelible impression.
Nature was inspired
when it created Australia.
Rain forest, coastline,
outback, mountains and
savannah paint a colorful
palette of magical sights
against an azure sky.
From the moment you
step off the plane in the
beautiful Victorian city of
Melbourne, spectacular
scenery is everywhere.
Your first afternoon there,
travel to Phillip Island, a
renowned nature reserve
and home of the world's
largest colony of little
penguins
The little penguin is
protected on Phillip Island
and a staff of rangers
works diligently to sttidy
and protect these lovable
birds. The experience of
watching as hundreds of
these birds waddle out
from the sea and cross the
beach to their burrows in
the dunes makes you
appreciate the balance
between man and nature.
Adding to the enjoyment
of your afternoon will be a
visit to the interpretation
center, where you will
learn about the life of the
little penguins and their
significance to the area.
The next morning it's off
to Cairns, the gateway to
the Great Barrier Reef. On

embark on a delightful
cruise of Sydney Harbour
and pass by two of Aus-
tralia's most famous
landmarks: the renowned
Sydney Opera House and
the world's largest steel
arch bridge, the Harbour
Bridge.
Afterwards, travel with a
group to Koala Park to see
koalas in their natural

the chance to feed the
kangaroos and pet a
wombat. Later that night,
enjoy a tour, dinner, and
performance inside the

surely to be the highlight
of your trip.
The next morning will
say "So long Australia and
hello New Zealand."
The moment you arrive
in Queenstown, this
charming South Island
town will captured your
heart. The first evening
there, take a gondola ride
to dinner at the Skyline
Restaurant, which over-
looks Queenstown, Lake
Wakatipu and the moun-
tains.
Although the scenic
beauty of such sights as
the Hollyford Valley and
Milford Sound are not to
be missed, one of the best
things about traveling is
meeting people along the
way, especially the locals.
On this adventure Down
Under, you might have the
privilege of dining with a
local family "Kiwis," as
they're called. They may
take you into their home,
where you will enjoyed a
traditional, home-cooked
meal and absorbed some
kiwi culture. These are the
experiences you remem-
ber long after your return
trip home.
New Zealand's most
famous national park, Mt.
Cook, is where you can
spend a leisurely after-
noon after leaving Queen-
stown. This is truly one of
the most impressive
mountains in the world.
You can choose to view the
massive glaciers and
extensive snow-covered
mountain-top terrain on
an optional glacier flight
tour, or just enjoy the park
during a simple nature
walk.
Your tour of the South
Pacific begins to wind to
its end in the historic city
of Christchurch. Here you
can participate in a short
sightseeing tour of "the
most English city outside
of England" highlighting
magnificent gardens, the
Neo-Gothic Cathedral and
the downtown park
district.
One of your fondest
memories in this area of
New Zealand will be a visit
to a Canterbury farmyard
to take part in a sheep
shearing demonstration
and see how a New
Zealand family farm
works.
Throughout your 15
days in Australia and New
Zealand, you are sure to
find a world of relaxation,
beauty, adventure and fun
all waiting to be discov-
ered and appreciated. I
can't wait to go!

Boss Groove rebuilds, returns to local scene


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Most of the members of
Boss Groove have been in
bands or the theater for
most of their lives.
The current band came
together about three years
ago. After the tragic deaths
of band member Richie
Ciani and his wife, Grace,
the band did not play for a
while. Today, the band is
again a fixture on the local
scene, appearing at festi-


vals and clubs and restau-
rants in the area.
"I wasn't in the band then
but I knew Richie and
Grace," lead guitarist Wade
Jackson said. "The band
decided to have a benefit
for their two daughters and
I was asked to step in. We
felt it was the right thing to
do; to keep it going."
The seven-piece band is
larger than many other
local groups and that gives
the musicians opportunity


for variety.
"We have three horn
players, all multi-instru-
mentalists, who play the
trombone, sax and trum-
pet, as well as percussion
and keyboard. No one else
has a horn section. That's
our niche. One of our goals
is to do songs other bands
couldn't do because of the
lack of instruments. We
wanted to do things a little
bit different."
The band's repertoire is

varied, ranging from Steely
.Dan, Chicago and the Red
Hot Chili Peppers, to the
alternative rock band Reel
Big Fish. They play hits
from the 70s, 80s and 90s,
as well as current hits.
"Our goal is to entertain
people and ourselves," Mr.
Jackson said. "We want to
make them feel good.
Sometimes, it's listening,
and sometimes, it's danc-
ing. We can be a dance
band one night and then
entertain at a festival the
next. We've got a pretty
good-sized repertoire."
That repertoire also con-
tains original works.
"A number of people
write," Mr. Jackson said.
"We all like to express our-
selves."
In addition, to Wade Jack-
son on lead guitar, the band
consists of Charles Jones on
vocals, Bill Bedwell on
trumpet and keyboard,
Tom Hoffelder on sax,
mini-synthesizer and per-
cussion, Mark Thomas on
trombone, sax and trum-
pet, Andre Boucher on
bass, and Maz Sietzma on
drums.
Mr. Jackson said it's a
good mix.
"It's a relationship that's
multi-faceted," he said. "It's
like speaking a language
without speaking a word.
We're a community with
our instruments and
amongst ourselves."

Jet's Pizza: corporate tag,

'mom-and-pop' feel


BY MATT DEWHURST
Dining crew
Never having done a din-
ing review before, I was a
little timid to offer my
services for this particular
assignment.
However, when my edi-
tor told me that it was for
Jet's Pizza in Stuart, I
jumped at the chance. If I
know anything, it's pizza. I
worked at pizza franchise
for four and half years in
high school and college, so
I feel like I know what a
pizza operation should
look and feel like. I know it
wasn't Mario's Pizzeria in
the Brooklyn, but hey, I can
still make a mean pizza
pie.
I hired our chief photog-
rapher, Mitch Kloorfairi, to
be my wingman for the
afternoon. As we entered
the Winn-Dixie plaza park-
ing lot off of U.S. 1, we saw
Jet's Pizza nestled adjacent
to Atlanta Bread Company,
and right next to Holly-
woodVideo.
I just had a good feeling
about the place, walking
up to the doors. From the
look of Jet's, it doesn't send

the Winn Dixie Plaza in Stuart.


out a corporate message
that some other pizza
place might. You feel like
you are at a real down-
home pizzeria. The store
has one long narrow aisle
for customers to order and
then watch behind glass as
the Jet's Pizza crew makes
their food right in front of
them. There are a few two-
person tables for cus-
tomers to enjoy their food,

But despite the humble

his door in Stuart, and
loves the location. The
store delivers to a four-
mile radius, stopping at
the Roosevelt Bridge, and
extending through much
of Stuart and Palm City.
Anyone can pick up an
order.
When we went to order, I
had to ask, "What's the best
side item you have?"
It was a given that we
were going to have pizza,
but I wanted to see what
else the place had to offer.
Mr. Cole seriously thought
over his answer before say-
ing that he really thought it
was all good, and eventual-
ly told us we had to try the
Jet's Bread. I was glad he
did, because the Jet's Bread
is not your normal cheesy
bread. Made out of home-
made dough all the
dough is made at the store
- the staff at Jet's slaps out


a medium-size pizza and
covers it with three differ-
ent cheeses and a garlic
butter sauce. You can also
get it with pepperoni if you
want.
Mitch and I stood back
and watched as Mr. Cole
and his staff prepared our
food fresh in front of our
eyes a large Super Spe-
cial square deep-dish pie.
Unlike other pizza restau-
rants, Jets doesn't charge
extra for deep dish, and
they cook it in a square
pan, making your experi-
ence even more unique.
Like all the pizza made at
Jet's, the Super Special is
topped with Grande
cheese and Portobello
pizza sauce to start, before
being loaded with pepper-
oni, ham, mushrooms,
green peppers and onions.

Pizza
From page C8
It was absolutely delicious,
and reasonably priced.
Jet's pizzas start off at $6.59
for a small, and range to
$12.09 for an extra large. A
large pizza is $9.49. Top-
pings differ for each size
pizza but roughly cost
about $1 extra per topping.
You can also buy by the
slice.
The pie was comple-
mented beautifully by our'
Jet's Bread and hot wings.
Both the wings and Jet's
Bread cost $5.99 a piece,
and are worth every penny
of it. For the same price
you can also get chicken
tenders, or a Jet Boat,
which is similar to a cal-
zone, or a small side salad
that could really serve as
its own meal.
To go along with the
mom-and-pop theme, the
dough is not the only thing
prepared in the store. The
house marinara sauce,
Ranch and -Italian dress-
ings are also made on the
premises.
Jet's also offers subs, and
has a number of value
meals set up perfect for an
afternoon lunch crowd,
the most popular being the
two slices and a soda, for
$3.49.
When Mitch and I could-
n't eat anymore, and trust
me, we wanted to, Mr. Cole
packed up our leftovers for
us and we headed out
stuffed, but extremely
happy with our experience
at Jet's Pizza. These guys
know how to make a good
pie, and we will definitely
be back soon.
Jet's Pizza is located -at
1986 S. Federal Highway.

BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

With the wrestling sea-
son in full swing, area
teams geared up for the

well/Grow Army of One

weekend. Twenty-three
teams from around the -
state descended on Port
St. Lucie High School for
the tournament.
Jensen Beach High 1
School was the biggest
local winner, placing six
wrestlers in the top six of
their respective weight .
classes. The Falcons (172 '
points) also took home a ',
second-place finish
behind Palm Bay High
School (196.5).
Anthony Hess won the
145-pound title for the Fal-
cons, while teammate
Jesse Brantman finished
second in the 112-pound
weight class. .
Jensen Beach head
coach Tom McMath was
happy with his team's
overall finish, but thought
that the tournament did
more for his team by giv-
ing his athletes experi-
ence.
"It gave a lot of the kids .
matches and right now
that's what they need,"
McMath said.
Fort Pierce Central also Mitch
sent two wrestlers to the Carlos Sotomayor of Martin County High School wrestles agail

more in the top six.
The Cobras were without
three varsity wrestlers for
the tournament. Sopho-
more Joesph Casiano and
seniors Gary Desrouilleres
and David Blanco were out
for unspecified reasons.
The Cobras finished 11th
overall with 110.5 points.
Head coach Peter Cre-
spo, although happy with
the results of Guerson
Jacques and George
McPherson, who both fin-
ished second in the respec-
tive weight classes, expects
more from his team, in
future meets. Centrals duel
meet record is 10-4 right
now, and to remain on top
of the pack, Crespo and
company plan on getting
back to basics after the
winter break lull.
"We were missing three
kids who should have been
in finals. We still haven't
gotten our lineup, said
Crespo. "We're young, so I
expected not to do very


well. The Steadwell(Grow
Army of One Invitational
wrestling tournament) is
always hard coming off of
Christmas break. But we
wrestled hard."
Port St. Lucie head coach
Jim Dailey had a similar
reaction to the tourna-
ments outcome. Even
though his team place no
finalists, the way they
wrestled against tougher
and more experienced
competition lead him to
believe that they are ready
to make a run in the sea-
sons second half.
"I think it actually is a
wake up call for us, to get
more focused in the prac-
tice room," Dailey said.
"We set some goals Satur-
day night after the tourna-
ment. Our goal is to go
undefeated in (the rest of
our) duel meets. Eight
more."

High School to lead his team to a 69-62 victory on Saturday, Jan. 6. The Falcons earned
an undefeated record of 14-0 at the close of the game.


Love, Powell, power Jensen


into conference championship


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

With a packed parking
lot outside, and the pep
band warming up inside,
you just knew that the
game between Jensen
Beach High School and
Sebastian River was going
to be fun.
The teams didn't disap-
point.
The Falcons (14-0)
defeated the Sharks (8-6),
69-62, before a rowdy
crowd at home, to remain
undefeated and place
themselves in the champi-
onship game for the Trea-
sure Lakes Conference
title.
After jumping out to a 7-
1 lead early in the first
quarter, Jensen Beach
squandered the six-point
lead in the second quarter.
Senior Kyle Taylor, who
leads the Falcons in
rebounds, sat all but the
first two minutes of the
game because of foul trou-
ble. The lack of Taylor on
the floor hampered the
ability of big-man partner
James' Love to establish
any sort of inside presence.
With the lack of a post
scoring threat, fellow sen-
ior Adam Powell stepped
up his game, scoring 10 of
his 21 points in the first
quarter.
At one point in the game,
the score was Powell 10,
Sebastian River 5.
"That's a senior who was
focused and knew that the
chips were down tonight.
That was for the division.
He knew what this meant,"
said Jensen Beach head
coach Eric Smith. "He's put
in a lot of time and he
wanted the opportunity to
play the big school winner
for the championship and
he came out here, and we


have all the confidence in
the world in him, and he
just relaxed and let himself
go."
The Sharks took advan-
tage of the lack of size
inside and started to chip
away at the lead. When
Chris Coffey hit .a lay-up
with 33 seconds in the first
half to take a one point
lead into halftime, it was
clear that Jensen Beach
had to get their big man
back on the floor to help.
In the second half Taylor
re-entered the game,
opening up Love to get
back to what he does best,
score. Love scored a game-
high 26 points, including a
string of 10 straight that
culminated with a fast
break dunk, which sent the
crowd into hysteria.
"When you got those two
guys out there, you can
stop one, but you're gonna
leave somebody else vul-
nerable," said Smith.
"When Kyle Taylor is out
there, he takes a huge load
off James Love. One of
them is gonna score big.
Tonight it was Love."
"Sometimes I have my
little sparks and get in my
little grooves and start
scoring points, taking it up
and getting and ones" said
Love. "We'set a mission for
ourselves to be, number
one conference champs.
We won our division, so
we're just waiting whoever
wins the next side."
Sebastian River entered
,the game in the middle of a
three game losing streak,
but began the season as
one of the hottest teams in
the area. The loss set the
Sharks back with an 8-5
record and was another
game in which head coach
Mark Adams watched his
team follow a familiar pat-
tern.


"I'm getting tired of the
same scenario. We get
down and we come back.
I'm not into moral victo-
ries anymore," said Adams.
"At the begging of the year
it might be good. You get
down and prove you can
come back, but now every
game, you get own and you
have to come back. I'm
getting tired of it. We need
to start playing 32 min-
utes."
Over the last two
months, the Falcons have
slowly gained the interest
of the community and
campus by continuing to
win games. Normally
dominated by the school
defending state champi-
onship soccer team this
time of year, basketball has
come to the forefront and
proven to be the hottest
ticket in town right now.
"It's like playing at Duke.
Exactly like playing at
Duke. All the Cameron
Crazies and everything,"
Powell said. "The adrena-
line, it just raises you. You
get so pumped. Everything
just goes right for you and
you know everyone is
cheering for you no matter
what and it's just a good
feeling."

Practice may make perfect during busy season


This is not only the
best time of year for
golf, but the worst as
well.
The weather is perfect
right now for golf: Not too
hot; not too cold; just
right. In fact, I believe that
I saw the Three Bears over
on the 12th fairway.
The problem this time of
year is everyone wants to
play golf, so the courses
are crowded and the
economics of supply and


or call: (772) 919-7111


demand are at their
greatest.
What to do? Well, there is
an old saying that you
should "Practice to play,
not play to practice." Here
is your chance to get that
game in shape so that
when the rates do drop
and the tee sheets aren't as
full, you will shock your
friends with just how good
your game has become
during the winter.
We are fortunate enough

*W7 !


to live in an area where
there are many dedicated
ranges or even courses
with practice areas that
allow you to get in some
swings. All you need is
about an hour to hit a
bucket of balls. I can
usually do this during my
lunch hour. I pack a
canned drink, a sandwich
and a piece of fruit to eat
on the way or at the
course. OK, sometimes it's
a brownie instead of a
banana, but I have needs.
With so many courses,
finding one within a few
minutes drive from my
home or office isn't diffi-
cult. The PGA Learning
Center in Port St. Lucie is a
great place to hone your
game. Monterey Point in
Stuart is near downtown
and features a mini-golf
course to keep the kids
busy while you work on
the important stuff. I
spend two or more days
each week at Hammock
Creek in Palm City. The
course is right down the
street from my office and
sponsors my golf radio
show, so they treat me just
like family. I'll hit balls one
day, chip another, and
work on smoothing out my
putting stroke another.
If you'd rather stay
home, try your garage or
backyard. Set up a net or
even an old mattress to hit
balls into. I even know
someone who hung an old
set of drapes from the
ceiling in his garage.
Practicing your putting is
even easier. You can putt
nearly anywhere and get in
some television time while
working on that stroke.
If you prefer a real range,
a bucket of balls should
cost you less than $10.
That's nothing compared
to the price of an actual


round of golf at this time
of the year.
Most dedicated ranges
have lighting so you can
get in your practice after
dinner, if you prefer.-I take
the bucket of balls to the
chipping and bunker area
and work on those shots.
Then I pick them up and
hit full shots before
heading back to my real
job.
If money is a problem,
there is no cost to use a
putting green at just about
any public club or facility.
In addition, practicing
your putting is the fastest
way to improve your
scores on the course. If
you take two putts per
green, that's 36 shots on
the greens alone. If you
can gain some confidence
with your putter and sink a
few more of those 5-
footers and avoid three-
putting, imagine how
quickly your scores will
drop.
The same goes for
chipping. Most amateurs
miss three-out-of-every-
four greens during a
round. Keeping the feel
and touch that you devel-
op around the green sharp
is one key to scoring well.
How often have you spent
the entire winter without
picking up a club, and find
that the deft scoring touch
you had perfected is
absent from your game for
about the first half-dozen
rounds of the season?
If money is not a big
problem, but time is,
consider getting lessons.
There is a multitude of
teaching professionals
here on Florida's east coast.
Some teach one-on-one,
which can be quite expen-
sive, while others teach in a
less expensive group
setting. You and your


friends could approach a
professional about a group
lesson and save a few
dollars. Getting lessons in
this way relieves you of the
worry of embarrassing
yourself in front of
strangers and your entire
foursome stands to gain
some improvement.
All golfers desire to
become better at this
game. What many lack is a
realistic expectation of
what they can get from
lessons. Thanks to televi-
sion, magazines and
books, many golfers feel
that they must be able to
hit a golf ball like Tiger
Woods in order to improve
their game. As a result that
is what they expect their
pro to teach them.
A 60-year-old's body
simply cannot perform like
that of a 20-year-old's. You
should learn what will
work best for your body
and factor in the amount
of time and effort you plan
to put into getting there.
Should you decide on a
lesson and a teaching pro,
make sure that he or she
understands what you
want to accomplish and
have realistic expectations.
It's very important that you
are both on the same page.
Whatever your plan is to
cope with the winter,
remember to enjoy it.
Besides, with enough
winter practice, you could
shock all of your couch-
bound partners once your
season begins.

GROUND

EFFECTS
It has become increasingly
popular among auto manufac-
turers and enthusiasts to
adjust a vehicle's "ground
effects." One way to manipu-
late the airflow around a vehi-
cle involves the use of a "spoil-
er" that attaches to the rear of
the vehicle and changes the
direction of the airflow in
order to reduce lift. It is called
a spoiler because it "spoils"
the normal airflow over the car
to create a downward force.
Similarly, a front spoiler
(known as an "airdam") can
change the direction of airflow
underneath the vehicle. It
should be pointed out, howev-
er, that changing a vehicle's
aerodynamics in these ways is
not always apparent in vehi-
cles intended for daily driving.
These effects are largely appli-
cable to race vehicles.
This column on ground effects
and the aerodynamics of a
vehicle is brought to you by
the automotive experts at
ADVANTAGE FORD OF STU-
ART. Located at 4000 S.E.
Federal Highway, we provide
great cars, great quality, great
prices n it's all here waiting for
you. Call 772.781.6540 to
schedule an appointment to
see us!
HINT: Anything that you attach
to a vehicle that catches the
wind, including flags and roof
racks, creates drag, which
compromises fuel mileage.

Debbie Pappas, a teller at the Cove Road branch of Seacoast National Bank, was the lucky winner of a 2007 Dodge Cal-
iber. Debbie, shown with her husband Nick and son Christopher, 3, in front of their new car, was one of 10 finalists cho-
sen in a random drawing. The finalists appeared at Macy's at the Treasure Coast Square mall on Jan. 6, chose a key and
tried to unlock the door of the Caliber. Mrs. Pappas chose the winning key. The finalists were eligible through their par-
ticipation in the United Way Step Up Challenge sweepstakes by donating a dollar a week to United Way. The Caliber was
donated by Massey-Yardley Chrysler Dodge of Hobe Sound.
