The alleged extortion
also led to beatings

BY MATT DONEGAN
Staffwriter
One man was jailed earlier this
month and another is facing
charges for allegedly defrauding
local real estate investors in a
scheme that involved intimidation
and violence.
A Florida Department of Law
Enforcement report states that the
men were in cahoots with a num-
ber of other investors to pre-fix
public foreclosure and tax deed
auctions in Martin, Palm Beach

Andrea

Mitchell

TV journalist to appear at
Lyric Theatre next month

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Andrea Mitchell has interviewed
everyone from presidents to dictators,
so the thought of inter-
viewing her was daunt-
ing.
The NBC senior foreign
correspondent will
appear at the Lyric The-
atre on Feb. 5 at a gala to
celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the Mar-
tin County Library Sys-
tem.
In a telephone inter- Mitchell
view, she spoke about the
nation, presidents and history she's
watched unfold during her distin-
guished career.
Ms. Mitchell, a self-described opti-
mist by nature, said the mood in the
country right now is pessimistic.
"I get a sense of extraordinary disen-
gagement and pessimism toward poli-
cies, and pessimism about the future,
even in a time of technological
advancement," she said. "I worry about
the lack of faith in government, and
about exit polls, which show people of
different ages and income levels feeling
pessimistic. I also worry that there is
no obvious solution to Iraq, little diplo-
macy on the horizon toward the Middle
East and Iran, and North Korea moving
toward nuclear capability.
"There are tangible ways the country
has improved, but at other times (in
our history), there was more optimism
and hope."
Ms. Mitchell, who has questioned
presidents from Carter to Bush, said
that two former presidents were among
the best politicians she's ever seen.
"Clinton is a great politician, one of
the best, but he was a little more self-
conscious than Reagan. Reagan was so
natural and authentic, even though he
was an actor."
She added that none of the presi-
dents she's covered has enjoyed being
questioned by the press.
Looking ahead to 2008, Ms. Mitchell
believes the U.S. is ready for a black or
female president.
"The American people are far more
open-minded than analysts think," she
said.
"People are desperate for optimism,
hope and answers. The (2006) election
results prove the American people get
it. Congress has done nothing, both
Republicans and Democrats. If a leader
rises and gives anr indication that he or
she can solve problems, that person
can be elected," she added.
She said she also thinks there's a
black woman out there who might be a

and St. Lucie counties.
According to the findings of
FDLE's eight-month investigation,
investors met outside county
courthouses before public auc-
tions and agreed to pool their
monies for a property bid. They
chose an investor to bid on a prop-
erty, and only that investor would
bid, which meant the property
could be purchased at its original
judgment cost without a bidding
war.
After the auction, the investors
reconvened to hold their own auc-
tion to determine who would actu-
ally pay for the property. The
investor who actually pays for the
property then pays the others to

decline their interest in the pur-
chase, according to the report.
The scam turned violent on Jan.
20, 2006, when investor John Kat-
sock purchased a property at one
of the public auctions, but said he
was not paying the fee to the other
investors and was keeping the
property because he had the deed.
Words were exchanged and,

according to eyewitness accounts
in FDLE's report, the men who
police suspect of perpetrating the
whole idea went after Mr. Katsock.
Brandon William Cox and Richard
Keith Woodin are accused of
punching and kicking him while he
was down, while using racial slurs.

Compassion drives locals to

help the poor and hungry

BY ROBIN RINKE

Staffwriter
STUART- Some are foreign-
ers, some are Americans, but all
are poor and hungry.
Each morning 20 to 60 men
congregate in the parking lot of
a church across the street of
Salerno Village Square on Saler-
no Road in Stuart.
"They show up around 9 a.m.
hungry and looking for work,"
said Jody Davis, executive pas-
tor of Inglesia Bautista Jesu-
cristo El Camino Church.
"I get here at 5 a.m. to make a
big pot of rice pudding, put on
the coffee and layout some
bread. For most of them it will
be their only meal today."
Abelino Lopez, is a 49-year-
old Guatemalan, and said he
came to Stuart four months
ago. He came here because rel-
atives lived here.

Staff writer
STUART -When Hurri-
cane Frances hit the
Treasure Coast in 2004, the
Advocates for the Rights of
the Challenged of Martin
County (ARC) agency was
faced with an even larger
dilemma than most.
The experience of trying
to provide storm shelter
for clients with special
needs has led the agency
to seek $830,000 in state
funding to expand its
facility..
ARC is a residential
agency that provides
support and assistance to
children and adults with
developmental disabilities
such as mental retarda-
tion, cerebral palsy and
autism. Many of the
residents also have
secondary conditions,
such as Down's Syndrome,
epilepsy and vision
impairment.
"They have lots of
challenges, and we help
them achieve a high
quality of life," said Keith :
Muniz, chief executive
officer of ARC.
ARC provides residential
care to people throughout
the Treasure Coast.
However, Mr. Muniz said,
"Many of their homes or
apartments are not
hurricane safe, so neces-
sary precautions need to
be taken to ensure their
safety."
Hurricane Frances
brought that fact to the
forefront in a big way.
"With Frances, I was
faced with a Category 3,
and a prediction of a
possible Category 5. Most
of our homes are in flood
zones and don't have
hurricane shutters, and
our facility in Stuart has
the capacity to hold
people only for a storm
that is up to Category 2,"
said Mr. Muniz.
In order to keep the
residents safe, Mr. Muniz
contacted a colleague in
Homestead, and was able
to move the entire agency
to a building there.
"We were stuck there for
four days, sleeping on.
sleeping bags. It was a
crazy, crazy experience;

very trying and very
challenging."
Mr. Muniz said that
when Hurricane Jeanne
hit just three weeks later,
that option was not
available to them again,
because the colleague
needed the building for his
programs.
"We hunkered down in a
building not rated past a
Category 2 hurricane,"
said Mr. Muniz, adding,
"We need to be proactive
and provide something
better. The public shelters
are not appropriate,
because our residents
have unique behavioral,
dietary and medication
issues. In an emergency
situation, we believe they
should be in a self-con-
tained, familiar environ-
ment where we can attend
to their special needs."
Mr. Muniz said that if
such a shelter were built, it
would be open to all those
on the Treasure Coast with
unique special needs.
ARC's intention is to build
the shelter onto their
existing facility in Stuart.
"We've submitted a
Community Budget Issue
Request to our legislature.
We-have strong support on
the House side through
Rep; Bill Snyder and Rep.
Gayle Harrell," said Mr.
Muniz.
When contacted, both
representatives confirmed
their support for this
budget issue.
"I am absolutely very
supportive of this," said
Rep. Harrell. "I was very
involved in the last two
years with special needs
shelters, and we realized
when we were doing that
bill that the developmen-
tally delayed community
really was not taken into
consideration in our
special needs process."
Rep. Snyder said that he
was one of the sponsors of
the $830,000 funding
request.
"I'm working with our
local legislative delegation
in a strong effort to obtain
that funding," said Rep.
Snyder. "The ARC is what I
consider to be one of the
most needy and most
important groups in our
community."

New principal is a breath of fresh air
By RoBIN RINKE I

Staff writer
STUART--When
Redeemer Lutheran
Church hired a new prin-
cipal, it did not know he
came with a secret.
"Kindergarten teacher
Connie Richberg asked me
if it would be OK to bring
in a drum set to help teach
her students about per-
cussion instruments," said
John Goetz, the new prin-
cipal at the school on
Ocean Boulevard.
His secret talent was
about to be revealed.
"Nobody knows I play
the drums. It wasn't on my
resume. I volunteered to
play them for the students
and do a religion teaching
at the same time," said the
36-year-old principal.
Mrs. Richberg said it
surprised her that he had
yet another hidden talent.
"He has been such a
breath of fresh air to our
school. Not only is he a
great spiritual leader and
motivator, but his actions
convey his heart," Mrs.
Richberg said.
With credentials that
include a Master of Arts in
Administration and Lead-
ership, he was an easy pick
for the position.
He grew up in a small
town in Minnesota, and
went to college at Concor-
dia University in St. Paul.
His first three years of
ministry were at. Luther
East High School, south of
Chicago, where he,,.not
only taught, but coached:
sports.
From Chicago he spent
the next nine years at
Mayer Lutheran :.High
School in Minnesota
teaching English, German,
and religion. The last three
years there were spent get-
ting his master's degree, at
St. Cloud State University

sion instruments that coincided with a simple Christian teaching.

in Minnesota.
He was also part of the
leadership team as the
Dean of Students.
"For the last two years, I
served as assistant princi-
pal at Rochester Central
Lutheran School in Min-
nesota.
"I feel like my career
path has prepared me for
coming to Florida and
stepping into the shoes of
a principal," Mr. Goetz
said.
Mr. Goetz's wife Heidi
also works at the school,
and all four of their chil-
dren attend there as well.
"We love it here. This
school year has been won-
derful. The church family
has been so warm and

welcoming to us. We are
blessed to feel so loved,"
Mr. Goetz said.
Many of the parents are
glad he is here, and think
he is a perfect fit.
Mindy Rogers, mother of
Macalla, a seventh-grader,
and Cole, a fourth-grader,
said: "We can't say enough
about him. He has great
vision and amazing inter-
action with the students.
Bringing the community
service projects up a notch
has been great as well."
"Community involve-
ment is an important les-
son to teach children," Mr.
Goetz said. "Helping oth-
ers is doing the gospel, and
is a key part of a Christian's
life.

Our principle teaching
at the school is: Preparing
the Christian leaders of
tomorrow.
"We drum that principle
into them from kinder-
garten up to the eighth-
grade," Mr. Goetz said.
Last Tuesday, 10 smiling
kindergarteners and the
seventh-grade leaders of
tomorrow literally got the
"drumming."

Shuckers re-opens under new name
After a long hiatus brought on by the damage from the
double-punch of Hurricanes Francis and Jeanne in 2004, the
family-owned ocean-front restaurant in Jensen Beach
known as Shuckers has reopened under the new name of
High Tide Beach Grill.
The restaurant is in the same location, 9800 S. Ocean
Drive in Jensen Beach.
According to a statement from Wolfgang C. Baere, general.
manager, "it was time to lay Shuckers to rest in the aftermath
of the hurricanes" that caused the restaurant to be boarded
and abandoned as Hurricane Frances approached in Sep-
tember of 2004.

(Secretary of State)
"Condoleezza Rice says
she's not running. She is
a real possibility for the
ticket, perhaps as the
vice presidential candi-
date on the Republican
ticket."
Ms. Mitchell adds that
Ms. Rice's tenure as
National Security Advi-
sor, in which she helped
formulate U.S. policy
toward Iraq, could
dampen her prospects,
but says that a McCain-
Rice ticket, with their
military and academic
background, would be
interesting.
As a foreign corre-
spondent, Ms. Mitchell
has interviewed many
dictators.
When asked who the
most impressive was,
she replied, "Fidel Cas-
tro is 'impressive,' if you
mean someone who is a
legendary survivor, out-
living 10 American pres-
idents who were his
adversaries, and had a
profound influence on
his country, for better or
worse. He has a power-
ful intellect and we used

profound differences
and different interpreta-
tions of democracy. He'd
tell me they had elec-
tions there and I'd
laugh.
"Kim Jung II (of North
Korea) could be one of
the greatest threats, if he
makes irrational deci-
sions and has the
weapons we think he
has. I am most fearful of
the damage President
Bashir (of Sudan) can
cause because his power
seems to be unchecked
and he continues the
genocide. He's unre-
strained by the U.S. or
the U.N.
"For terrible reasons,
Africa is not a priority to
the West. Rwanda sup-
posedly taught us a les-
son, but we're letting it
happen again.
"And, of course,
Osama bin Laden and
his co-horts are the
most terrifying," she
added.
Ms. Mitchell has high
praise for many of her
colleagues, especially
Richard Engel and Jim
Maceda, for their work
in war zones; Brian
Williams and his team in
New Orleans; and Ann
Curry in Chad and Dar-
fur.
"Reporters are not
well-regarded, and
politicians like to beat
up on us. We (in the
media) have lost more
people in Iraq, have had
more casualties, than in

any other war. It doesn't
compare with the suffer-
ing of the troops, but it
is hard to go into these
areas," Ms. Mitchell
said.
On a less serious note,
I mentioned that several
people have comment-
ed on her hair, and I
asked if it's frustrating to
work so hard and
accomplish so much,
and still be judged on
appearance.
"I am hardly glam-
orous compared to most
broadcasters," she said.
"I made my record on
solid reporting. People
are naturally going to
focus on the visual, so
we don't wear crazy
stripes or plaids. It's flat-
tering when people
notice and it pleases my
hairdresser."
Andrea Mitchell will
appear at 7 p.m. on
Monday, Feb. 5, at the

20th-Century
Jewelry
The jewels of Spanish
painter Salvador Dali
were more extravagant
and were more repre-
sentative of design for its
own sake than as a func-
tion of the jewel to be
worn. Although a great
deal of modern jewelry is
designed and made by
large firms, the tradition
of the artist craftsman is
strong in Scandinavia
and the United States,
where silver, semi-
precious stones, ham-
mered copper, and
other less costly materials
are commonly used.
Plastics are often
employed in expensive
jewelry. Arts-and-crafts
shops produce vast
selections of abstract
.and naturalistic designs
In rings bracelets, ear-
ings, necklaces, and
brooches. Although jew-
elry in the 19th and early
20th century was worn
primarily by women, in
the late 20th Century
some men were wearing
jewelry such as
neckchains, bracelets,
and earrings,

Investigators working local

missing children cases

BY MATT DONEGAN
Staff writer
The discovery of two kid-
napped boys found alive in
a Missouri man's apart-
ment two weeks ago
tugged at the hearts of the
nation as they were reunit-
ed with their loved ones,
but the families of two
Treasure Coast children are
still waiting for that day.
The St. Lucie County
Sheriff's Office, Florida
Department of Law
Enforcement and the Fort
Pierce, Stuart and Vero
police departments are not
currently handling any
open missing children
cases in the area in which
the subjects are considered
to be endangered. The
agencies are only currently
tasked with tracking down
habitual runaways and
children who won't listen
to their guardians.
But the Martin County
Sheriff's Office is still
actively working the case
of Andrea Parsons, who
disappeared more than 13
years ago while on her way
home from buying candy
at a corner store.
The 10-year-old was last
seen near Commerce and
Seaward avenues in Port
Salerno. After she van-
ished, authorities began an
. extensive search. The local
landfill has been dug up
three times now, and
woods, backyards, ditches,
lakes and ponds have been
searched thoroughly, said
Sheriff's Office spokes-
woman Lt. JenellAtlas.
"She was abducted, and
we believe was killed," she
said. "Most missing chil-
dren are killed. We're hang-

Andrea Parsons

ing on a shred and hoping
she's alive, but after all this
time you've got to face
facts."
Still, Sheriff's Office offi-
cials respond to all tips and
new ideas on the case. But
there have been no prom-
ising leads in years, Lt.
Atlas said.
"Every time somebody
finds a bone, we keep our
fingers crossed," she said.
"Maybe it's Andrea. It's
usually a dog."
Andrea would now be 23.
Anyone with informa-
tion is asked to call (772)
220-7000.
The Port St. Lucie Police
Department faces an
ongoing missing child case
of a very different nature.
Felix Quintero, who
turned 9 months old on
Jan. 25, is believed to be
with his mother, Cristina
Quintero, in NewYork, and
is considered endangered.
When the baby was.born
on April 25, 2006, he tested
positive for methampheta-
mines, said Detective Lee
Rehm, a juvenile and gang
investigator with the Port
St. Lucie Police Depart-
ment. The mother is a
recovering drug addict, he
said.
Because of the baby's

positive blood test, the
Department of Children
and Families got involved.
By the time a caseworker
got to the Quintero house
in Port St. Lucie, the 24-
year-old mother and her
baby were already in New
York visiting Ms. Quintero's
grandmother. After Ms.
Quintero left her grand-
mother's house with the
baby, neither returned to
South Florida and this
became a missing persons
case.
She has since called
Detective Rehm from a pay
phone in Brooklyn and was
told DCF was involved.
Nonetheless, she has
refused to return home. If
she's found she'll be arrest-
'ed, extradited and charged
with interfering with child
custody, as well as removal
of a child from the state
with the criminal intent of
concealing the child from
the other parent on a per-
manent basis.
Authorities in New York
offered little help to Port St.
Lucie police because they
look at the matter as a civil
case, Detective Rehm said.
Meanwhile, the baby's
Father has put up posters of
the missing infant and the
mother in NewYork.
While Detective Rehm
said he doesn't feel the
baby has been hurt, he said
Felix is in danger because
of Ms. Quintero's past drug
habit.
."Until I see that baby
healthy and alive and in
the custody of the DCF,
we're going to continue
with the case," he said.
For more information on
this case, call (772) 873-
6517.

Fluoridated water is good

I am in my 80s and I have all of my teeth. I have a few
crowns and caps from wear and tear, but my dentist
tells me I have all my teeth because I had fluoridated
water all of my life.
Why doesn't someone research the fluoride in the
water and make an intelligent, informed decision? Or is
it the usual city official decision to have a public forum
so we can blame someone else?
Fluoridated water is a good thing, just ask the Ameri-
can Dental Association.

Not enough manpower-in Stuart?

Who is the chief of police in Stuart, Chief Morley, try-
ing to kid?
He said he didn't arrest the D.U.I. by another cop
because there wasn't enough manpower.
I've come over the Roosevelt Bridge many times when
there was 14 to 15 cops, both Martin County deputies
and Stuart cops, sitting at the bottom. So what's he talk-
ing about, "not enough manpower?"
This guy was drunk! He should have been taken in, no
matter how many people were working. Every average
citizen would've been taken in right away.
Believe me, there's something fishy here.

'If I'm interested in a time-share,
I'll go to the sales office'

The happy family parks in one of the six spaces ion the
beach ramp, unloads all their beach paraphernalia, and
walks down the ramp to begin an enjoyable, carefree
day at the beach. Right? Wrong.
At the bottom of the beach approach awaits a preda-
tor, which is not in the water and has no fins. It's a time-
share salesperson in a golf cart!
As the salesperson extinguishes a cigarette, the family
is stopped, asked where they are from, and then given a
sales pitch about touring a nearby condo.
"No thanks," the father replies. "We're just here for a
relaxing time at the beach."
The salesperson follows the family driving the golf
cart on the beach, where no other vehicles are allowed,
and.continues the pitch.
Finally, the father makes it clear that he and his fami-
ly do not wish to be bothered any longer so the sales-
person gives up and drives the golf cart back to the end
of the beach approach to sit and wait for other victims.
These sales people drive their golf carts on the side-
walks and the beach, park on the beach ramp, and has-
sle anyone and everyone who looks like a potential
"customer."
This is a disgraceful first impression for newcomers
to our beaches, and a hassle to those of us who live
here.
The sales people even park their own vehicles on the
beach approach, thus causing beach-goers to have to
park in shopping center lots and risk being towed.
If we want a hot dog, we will go to the beach wagon to
get one. If we need or want anything, we will go to the
appropriate merchant to purchase it. If we are interest-
ed in a time-share, we will go to the sales office.
We don't need or want people trying to sell us some-
thing by accosting us in our cars, on the beach
approach, or in our beach chair.
Whoever regulates these activities can surely address
this issue and find a way to preserve some decency on

Where's my stamps?

Yesterday I placed the orange envelope in our mail-
box for stamps, as I've done before.
Today, I went to get the stamps and they weren't
there. I always get them the next day.
I called the post office in Palm City and got a very
short message on an answering machine. In short, I
called the annex and got no answers. It figures.
I went into the post office during business hours and
the line was to the door, with only two girls working.
Why weren't all the booths open? Were they short of
help? Well, hire more people. It's not fair to put so
much pressure on two girls.
Perhaps a change in management is needed. Believe
me, I'm not the only one fed up with that branch.

Another sod story

I'd like to answer the rant about the sod laid along
A1A and across the street from Archie's Seabreeze.
I don't think they realize that the police cannot give
any summons there. If you drive by, you can see that
the (St. Lucie County) Sheriff's Department and Fort
Pierce Police Department eat lunch or dinner at
Archie's.
It will be very hard for them to go across the street
and write summons for parking on A1A, since it is a
state road.
Maybe the only chance for action is to call the state
police, who do not eat at Archie's. Maybe they can take
action to save the thousands of dollars of sod that was
recently placed.

Hitting a nerve

In response to the "In-excusable rant," the ranter
said that we "need to have them (Northerners) coming
down here." It seems we have hit a nerve.
If you are one of the rude people that need to occupy
table space at a restaurant, then leave a ridiculous tip
or no tip at all, I hope you will consider yoir behavior.
We don't need you if you take advantage of our
Southern hospitality with rudeness. Sometimes the
truth hurts.
In addition, this subject was not brought up by

Hometown News. The last I heard, we still have free-
dom of speech. That is unless too many people go
against what our democracy really means.
I hope you will reconsider your behavior.

New and improved animal laws

I enjoy reading your rants and raves, but was really
disturbed by the issue of dogs being tied up and
abused.
I tried to get a copy of the local laws about animals,
but the only thing I could find was a 30-plus-page
manual, which had been changed and revised, over
and over, as to be made really meaningless.
I would think that a new and improved animal con-
trol law should be a priority for our new county com-
missioners. They could hire an expert to develop it.
I'm sure they're strong enough to face off the animal
control officers, who do their jobs within a great limita-
tion of quality, quantity, and direction.
Good luck.
It's important, especially now that there are lots of
people moving here from places where dogs and ani-
mals are treated humanely. They will expect the same.
I think it's just as important to do that as to provide
adequate police and educational standards in attract-
ing the high tech industries and the personnel they are
looking for.

Beautiful blue skies

It is 1 p.m. on Sunday. I'm wondering if anyone looks
up into the beautiful sky, where every weekend those
planes are making those big patterns in the sky. I don't
know whether it is local, or if it is coming from Patrick
Air Force Base, but the sky is full of those beautiful
strips, streaks and patterns. It is beautiful against the
blue.
It's just refreshing to see that.

Please don't speed

This is for all the people who are taking Beach
Avenue as a shortcut because of the construction on
U.S. 1.
This is a residential neighborhood and our speed
limit is 25 miles per hour. Please go by it.

I must be crazy, right?
Well, I guess I'm nuts,
because I am recom-
mending that you con-
sider CarMax the next
time you are in the
market for a used car.
In case you haven't
heard of CarMax, they are
the largest seller of used
cars in the USA.
Unfortunately for
readers of Hometown
News, the nearest loca-
tion is in Boynton Beach,
just off Interstate-95, but
it might be well worth
your drive.
CarMax is a publicly
owned company that was
spun off a few years ago
from Circuit City. They
are extremely profitable,
and if you had bought
stock in CarMax one year
ago, you would have
more than doubled your
money.
The reason they are so
profitable is that they
offer the but.er of a used
.car something that most
other used car sellers
can't: a fear-free buying
experience.
There is only one thing
scarier than buying a new
car and that is buying a
used car. At CarMax you
can buy a used car with
trust and confidence. For
one thing, they offer a
five-day money back
guarantee, with the only
condition that you return
the car in the same
condition as when you
purchased it.
The cars that CarMax
Sells are carefully
checked over and thor-

They wholesale the cars
that don't meet their
standards. At CarMax you
aren't dealing with
traditional "used car
salesmen." They hire
quality individuals from
outside the retail car
business and train them
in the CarMax way of
doing business. The price
you see on the window
and the price you are
quoted is "almost" an
out-the-door price.
Unfortunately, they do
add a $149 "dealer fee"
which they call a "pro-
cessing fee." This is the
only thing CarMax does
that I don't like. However,
compared to virtually
every other Florida
dealer, its "dealer fee" is
low."
Another thing they do,
which I think is really
great, is buy your old car
from you whether you
buy a car from them or
not. They don't play

Local teen reaches semifinals of a

nationally televised talent contest

Don't be afraid to

copy, improve

on competition

By RITA HART
, 'Wil fvriter
A Treasure Coast vocalist
has taken first place in
week six of a nationally tel-
evised musical contest.
Megan Moran, 16, a jun-
ior at Lincoln Park Acade-
my who lives in Port Saint
Lucie, has moved into the
semifinals of the "Living
Room ... Live! Kids" con-
test, which takes place on
"The Early Show" on tele-
vision station CBS.
Megan is a frequent par-
ticipant in local theatre
productions, including
musicals produced by
Shiloh Productions and
StarStruck Performing Arts
Center, both located in
Stuart.
Earlier this month,
Megan was part of a group
from StarStruck Perform-
ing Arts Center that per-
formed in Atlanta, Ga. in'
the Music Theatre Interna-
tional Junior Festival. The
group won the "Most Out-
standing Overall Perfor-
mance" award.

Jennifer Jones, who owns
StarStruck with her hus-
band, Peter, said, "When
we started StarStruck, we
did "Guys and Dolls" in
2000, and Megan was in it.
She was a little kid. There is
a song at the beginning of
the show called "Fugue of
the Tinhorns," which is
three-part harmony and
very difficult. Megan was a
champ. We decided then
and there that even though
she was a young girl, she
could do it."
To enter "The Early
Show" contest, Megan
submitted a video clip to
CBS, in which she sang
"There Are Worse Things I
Could Do" from "Grease."
Once chosen for the con-
test, Megan competed
against two others, Dabir
Snell, 11, of Long Beach,
Calif., who rapped "Every-
thing Changed," an origi-
nal song, and Alex Roth, 9,
of Pittsburgh, Pa., who
sang "Here's Where I
Stand," from the "Camp"
movie soundtrack.
The three video clips

aired on Monday, Jan. 15,
and viewers had until
noon on Wednesday, Jan.
17 to vote for their favorite
contestant online. Megan
received 55 percent of the
total votes.
"I was so excited," said
Megan about her win. "The
lady on CBS said that
Stockard Channing, who
was in "Grease," would be

very proud. She is one of
my idols. It was really
cool."
Megan now moves into
the semifinals, where her
video will again be aired on
"The Early Show," on Mon-
day, Jan. 29.
In this round, Megan will
be competing against the

threatening another
investor who would pay for
properties and sneak out
the back door of the auc-
tions to evade the pair.
The man received
numerous threatening
phone calls from Mr.
Woodin in which antise-
mitic remarks were used,
according to the report.
The man stopped going to
auctions for a few months
after that. When he
returned to an auction,
Mr. Woodin whispered in
his ear, "If you bid on this
one, I am going to kill

you," the report states.
Several witnesses were
interviewed during the
investigation into the
improprieties.
One told law enforce-
ment that 10 investors,
including a minister and
fireman, were "in
cahoots."
"They get buddy-buddy
and when you want to buy
on your own, fists are
thrown, guns are being
shown, they get you out of
the town. There is a lot of
money to be made in
small towns, but I'm not

going to make it under
these conditions."
The FDLE is still investi-
gating how extensive this
type of practice is, said
Michael Driscoll, resident
agent in charge with
FDLE's West Palm Beach
Field Office.
"We suspect it's
occurred in other jurisdic-
tions," he said.
Mr. Cox, 28, of 1223 37th
Ave., Vero Beach, was
charged Jan. 9 with extor-
tion and battery evidenc-
ing prejudice, both
felonies. He was released

from the St. Lucie County
Jail on $100,000 bond.
Mr. Woodin is also facing
charges, but Mr. Driscoll
said it's preliminary to say
what they'd be. None of
the other investors are fac-
ing charges at this time, he
said.
Attempts to reach the
subjects in this story were
unsuccessful.
Anyone with informa-
tion on this case, or who
has witnessed impropri-
eties like these at any area
auction, is urged to call the
FDLE at (561) 640-2840.

Weekend art show to take

place in Jensen Beach

BY RITA HART
Staff writer
JENSEN BEACH His-
toric downtown Jensen
Beach will be the place to
be when the Jensen Beach
Chamber of Commerce
presents an art and craft
show Saturday, Jan. 27 and
Sunday, Jan. 28 from 10
a.m.-5 p.m.
Admission to the week-
end event is free. Approxi-
mately. 100 artists and
crafters will be displaying
their creations, which will
range in price from $10 to
$6,000.
Local restaurants will be
providing beverage and
food service, and musical
entertainment will be
found at Crawdaddy's
N'awlins Caf6 and Raw
Bar, Jan's Place, and Mulli-,
gan's Beach House Bar and
Grille.

"We believe that the concept of this particular art
show will be good for the community, and will give
people an idea of what the community is like here
every day of the year."
Ron Rose
Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce

Throughout the week-
end, a mural depicting
historic Jensen Beach
scenes will be painted on
the east wall of the Jensen
Beach Barber Shop by the
Jensen Beach High School
Art Club.
There will also be book
signing by local authors
Linda LaVelle, Dr. Neil
Boland and Sandy Thur-
low.
Ron Rose, executive
director of the Jensen
Beach Chamber of Com-
merce, said, "The purpose
of the art show is not only
to showcase the work of

the visiting artists, but also
to showcase the commu-
nity and to upgrade com-
munity events."
The decision to allow
local restaurants to pro-
vide food and beverage
services, rather than hav-
ing outside food vendors
as part of the event, was an
easy one for the chamber.
"We consider ourselves
the dining destination of
the Treasure Coast," said
Mr. Rose. "The number of
restaurants we have with-

serves the visually impaired.
The 20/200 Fellowship is an
independent resource cen-
ter for the blind and visually
impaired that serves five
counties.
Certified by the Library of
Congress, Braille Interna-
tional produces an average
of 2.6 million pages of
Braille per month.
"We take publications
and reproduce them into
Braille. It is an expensive
process because of the time
involved. Production is a
step-by-step process for
each and every page," said
Jamie Redditt, president of
Braille International.
Linda Wiggins, director of
administration of Braille
International, said, "The
government calls us for con-
tract work for the Internal
Revenue Service, the
Department of Education
and the Government Print-
ing Office. Our organization
ranks in the top three of the
five Braille Houses in the
nation.
"Contracts with the
Library of Congress, keep us
busy with printing monthly
magazines such as Martha
Stewart Living, Ladies
Home Journal, ESPN, three
health letters, Boy's Life, and
several children's maga-
zines. This year we also have
160 book titles to print for
them," she said.
Many agencies such as
The National Federation of
the Blind and Parents of
Blind Children come to
Braille International for
Braille printing.
Religious organizations
such as the Billy Graham
Evangelical Association and
Braille Bibles International
also use the printing servic-
es. Private businesses such
as Disney, Sea World and
many chain restaurants
have menus, guidebooks
and information printed in
Braille for their visually
impaired customers.

When Herb Hoag let it be
known that he was selling Skyline
Tire & Service in Jensen Beach after
20 years in business, Alfred Gilbert
knew he had to act. After working
at a Goodyear location in Port St.
Lucie off of Bayshore for the last 4
years, and in the Stuart location off
of Colorado for 5 years before that,
he had experience and knowledge to
be the owner of his own independ-
ently owned Goodyear Tire &
Service Center.
Alfred's dedication to customer
satisfaction, coupled with the excel-
lent reputation for service that
already existed for the business, is

the combination that makes
Goodyear Skyline Tire & Service' a
perfect choice for your auto's com-
plete care. At Skyline, you get the
Goodyear name brand and quality
of service at lower prices than the
competition. Headed up by Gary
"Gil" Gilmore, who has been the
Service Manager at this location for
20 years, their staff of complete

automotive care specialist provide
the best quality of service at the
most competitive prices on the
Treasure Coast. Shuttle service is
always available.

"My youngest son is in
college in Guatemala. He is
studying to be a doctor. I
can't make enough money
to pay the tuition working in
my country. I came here for
him. I plan on being here
three years," Mr. Lopez said.
Mr. Lopez is married and
has two other married chil-
dren back home.
"I work in a restaurant at
night and come here (to the
church parking lot) in the
morning. The work is slow
right now. A few months
back it was better. I was able
to send $1,500 home a
month," Mr. Lopez said.
He: rents a one-room
apartment for $200 a
month, and shares it with
two other men. He saves
everything he makes to
send home.
Mr. Lopez used to stand at
the Texaco gas station on
Dixie Highway in Port Saler-
no before the church park-
ing lot was opened.
"It was dangerous for
them on Dixie Highway.
Many of them were robbed
and beaten," Mr. Davis said.
Some of the deputies at
the Martin County Sheriffs'
Department are friends of
the church and mentioned
the problem to Mr. Davis.
"They told me these men
were not dangerous, just
hungry and needing work,"
Mr. Davis said.
Learning that men were
starving in their own back
yard, was enough for three
churches to come together
to help.
Tropical Farms Baptist
Church in Stuart, Commu-
nity Baptist Church in Stuart
and Inglesia Bautista Jesu-
cristo El Camino Church
worked together to encour-
age the men to leave the
Dixie Highway location in
favor of a safe place to con-
gregate, be fed and possibly
pick up some work.
"We are not trying to
make a political statement
here in regards to illegal
immigrants. We stand
behind our country's law.
We don't know who is legally
here.
"What we do know is that
they are human beings, liv-
ing on this planet that are
poor and hungry," Mr. Davis
said. "We could not turn our
backs."
Mr. Davis will take men to
the consulate in Miami if
there is a need. He also
makes many trips to the air-
port to send workers home
to their families.
"We are doing our part to
get them home, it is not
good for families to be sepa-
rated," Mr. Davis said.
Local philanthropist, John
Pierson, owner of Toyota of
Stuart, has heard of the
need and has sent help.
"Bikes, monetary dona-
tions, food and compassion
have come from Mr. Pier-
son," said Mr. Davis.
"It is not just the workers
that need help. Many peo-
ple living in the Golden Gate
and Port Salerno area need
'food and aid. Our goal is to
try and help them with their
needs," Mr. Davis added.
A dental clinic will be
opening next month at the
church with local dentists
donating time.

Mr. Rose believes the Jensen Beach
Art and Craft Show will showcase much
more than the area restaurants, howev-
,er.
"We believe that the concept of this
particular art show will be good for the

community, and will give people an idea
of what the community is like here
every day of the year," said Mr. Rose.

printed material, which we
scan, and if acquired digital-
ly, we download it to a file.
This is was my first job
here," Mrs. Wiggins said.
"Then it's off to the tran-
scription department, who
reads the file and compares
it to the printed matter.,
Scanning errors are correct-
ed and formatting codes are
added.
It is then run through a
Braille translator and print-
ed on Braille embossers and
sent to proofreading," she
said.
Blind proofreaders such
as Joe Abate, who is a 23-
year veteran of proofread-
ing, and "sighted" copy-
holders such as Cathy
Kurpil, read the Braille
material and compare it to
the printed magazine or
book. Every single punctua-
tion mark and format is spo-
ken for complete accuracy.
"Literacy is just as impor-
tant to blind people as .to
those with sight. It's our only
way to read," Mr. Abate said.
"I'm certified by the
National Library Service to
proofread. The job has its
moments, and 23 years is a,
long time, but I know it
helps others," he said.
He also said he prefers
reading to audio. He likes
having a hard copy in his
hands because it helps him
feel and "see" what the
author is doing.
At this stage in the
process, if an error is found,
it is sent back to data entry
for correction. After the cor-

reaction is checked, the
material is released to the
plate embossing device,
where it is embossed onto
zinc plates and read again
by a blind proofreader.
When the plates are error-
free, they are sent to the
pressroom, where the
Braille will be embossed on
paper.
"Two different types of
presses are used in the man-
ufacture of our Braille mate-
rial," Mrs. Wiggins said.
"Hand presses are Used
for books and specialized,
material and the Heidelberg
presses are used for maga-
zines and other projects
where large quantities of
Braille are desired."
She said the Braille pages
are then loaded onto wire
racks and sent to the
bindery to be collated and
bound.
The bindery department
makes sure all books and
magazines are collated,
folded, stitched or put in
covers.
"Magazines are then fold-
ed and stitched and packed
for shipping. Book pages are
folded and punched. Each
copy is verified before it is
put in a hard cover pro-
duced in our book cover
department," Mrs. Wiggins
said.
She said, at this point, the
books are packed for ship-
ping.
The book cover depart-
ment makes each cover
from scratch, starting with
vinyl and ending with the
print book information on
the spine.

Braille Internaiort~al
Employs more than 38 peo-
ple. The company ships
worldwide and touches
countless lives.
"I like being able to help
people and see them,
progress in knowledge.
There is a limited amount of
printed resources in Braillq
out there. It's not like going
,into Barnes & Noble so.
we do our part," MNl. feddin
said.
The 20/200 Fellowship,:
which is located at 4992 S.E.
Kingfish Ave. in Port Saler-
no, helps countless lives;
with progressing in knowl-
edge and independence.
"We are here to help those
with vision loss to keep their
independence and free-
dom," said Sindy Greenwell,
program co-coordinator of
20/200 Fellowship.
"Our organization serves
Palm Beach, Martin, St.
Lucie, Indian River and
Okeechobee counties. We
have a newsletter that is
sent to more than 1,000
people. At this time we
directly work with more
than 500 people," she said.
She said they serve all
ages and provide free Braille
training, summer camp,
discussion groups, fellow-
ship, after-school tutoring
and computer classes.
They are the only resource
center on the Treasure Coast
that provides demonstra-
tions and gives clients the
opportunity to try out mag-
nifiers, glasses and closed
circuit TVs before they order
what works best.
"The computer class is
very helpful. Without it, the
computer would be a use-
less lump of metal to us,"
Ms. Greenwell said.
"We have technology now
that they did not have 20
years ago. We teach clients
how to use a software pro-
gram called Jaws. It actually
reads everything on the
screen to the user. It's amaz-
ing. Being computer literate
gives those of us with vision
loss more opportunities and
freedom," she said.
One such client is Ronald
Andrini, president of,the
board of 20/200 Fellowship.
When Mr. Andrini came
to the fellowship he was
legally blind.
Anyone with vision worse
than 20/200 that cannot be
improved with corrective
lenses is considered legally
blind. In addition, people
with a visual field of less
than 20 degrees diameter
(10 degrees radius) are also
considered legally blind.
"I lost my sight nine years
ago from retinal detach-
ment. I lost everything. Get-
ting back into the work force
and on with life was diffi-
cult. Learning the Jaws soft-
ware program on computer
was crucial for me. The fel-
lowship helped me," Mr.
Andrini said.
"Now, I do everything,
except see," said Mr. Andri-
ni.
"I have a job, more confi-
dence, and best of all, I have
my independence and free-
dom. I even play percussion
in a salsa band," he said.
According to Prevent
Blindness America, over the
next 30 years, as the baby-
boomers age, the number of
visually impaired Ameri-

"The Treasure Coast can
anticipate tremendous
impact from this growth.

BY WENDY DWYER
For Hometown News
Zach Simonetti and Dan
Hafner are an unlikely pair
whose friendship has lasted
through changes of schools,
jobs, and lifetime mile-
stones, such as losing baby
teeth and gaining access
into the American Associa-
tion of Retired Persons.
Through it all, the pair'
gets together once a week io
read, hang out, and once in
a great while, eat lunch
together.
Zach, a student at St.
Lucie Elementary School,
and, a mechanic for the St.
Lucie County School Dis-
trict and volunteer reading
meiitor, became friends
through Big Brothers Big
Sisters' Jump Into Reading
program.
Jump Into Reading is an
innovative program imple-
mented by Big Brothers Big
Sisters of St..Lucie, Indian
River, and Okeechobee
counties.
Volunteer mentors agree
to, spend one hour each
week in a school setting
with kindergarten, first, or
second graders, who are
struggling with reading.
Studies have shown that
students who have a good
solid foundation and grasp
of reading by second grade,
tend to be exponentially
more successful throughout
their academic career in all
subject matters.
"For nine years, members
of the community have
been generously donating
their time and talent to help
instill a love of reading in
children of the community,"
said Melodee Daniello,
school-based program
director for BBBS for the
past seven years.
Currently, more than 600
children and nearly 300 vol-
unteers are involved with
the program.
"Volunteers for the Jump
Into Reading program need
no special educational
degrees or training,. just a
love of reading and a will-
ingness to share an hour,
once or twice a week, with a
child who finds reading a
struggle.
Students enjoy having a
mentor, and some of the
surprising and unexpected
benefits of the reading pro-
gram include reduced
absenteeism among stu-
dents on their scheduled
mentoring day, and a more
positive attitude at both
school and home.

THIS SHOULD SPARK
SOME INTEREST!
During cold and dry climate
conditions, the stage is poten-
tially set for static electricity-
related incidents at.retail gaso-
line outlets. This situation may
occur when there is a buildup
of static electricity as a result
'ofre-entering the vehicle dur-
ing refueling, particularly
when the air is cold and dry. If
the driver returns to the gaso-
line pump after re-exiting the
vehicle to complete fueling,
the static may discharge at the
fill point to cause a flash fire or
a- sustained fire with gasoline
vapors. To guard against this
possibility, vehicle owners are
urged to resist the temptation
to get back into their vehicles
while fueling in cold, dry
weather. Staying outside the
vehicle greatly reduces the
likelihood of static electricity
buildup.
Although it is a rare occur-
rence, it is always best to be
safe. Please use caution next
time you fill up at the pump. At
ADVANTAGE FORD OF STU-
ART, your safety is our num-
ber one concern. Our trained

dealership will some-
times sell a non-Toyota
trade-in to CarMax
because they can
appraise it for more
money than we can.
Sometimes, we suggest
to our prospective
customers to drive their
trade-in to CarMax and
get a price bid, if they feel
we cannot offer them a
high enough trade-in
allowance.
One of the reasons I
know so much about
CarMax is that I hired one
of their best managers
several months ago. He
worked for CarMax in
South Florida for nine
years, and I was able to
persuade him to come to
work for my dealership by
telling him we wanted to
do as well as CarMax and
one day even be better.
His name is Jeff Dallin
and he is now my used
car manager. We have

implemented many of the
CarMax ways and even
improved on some of
them.
For example, we offer a
seven-day unconditional
money back guarantee on
every used car we sell and
we do not charge any
dealer fee. We also survey
all our used car buyers to
measure the level of
customer satisfaction for
our whole department
and each individual
salesman.
We copied CarMax's
"above and beyond"
award given to employees
who do something extra
special for a customer.
I'm not ashamed to
copy a competitor who
has done something
better than I can. In fact,
this is exactly how Toyota
became the best auto
manufacturer in the
world.
Some of you are old

enough to remember the
first car that Toyota sold
in the USA in 1958.
It was called the Toy-
opet. I won't mince
words, it was a piece of
junk. But Toyota sent
engineers to observe the
way GM, Ford and
Chrysler manufactured
cars, adopted their best
practices and improved
on many of them.
Today Toyota builds the:
highest quality cars on
the planet.

CAR DEALERS

SMARTEN UP

YOUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY HAVE.

An Open Letter to
Florida Car Dealers.
Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".

Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't know me,
I should tell you that I don't profess to be some
"holier than thou" car dealer who was always
perfect for the past 38 years. When I look at
some of my past advertising and sales tactics,
I am not always proud. But I have evolved as
my customers have evolved. My customers'
expectations, level of education and sophistica-
. ton are much higher today. Your customers are
no different. My remarks are made sincerely and
with a positive intent toward you and your
customers. 1 am not trying to tell you how
to run your business. I am suggesting a
change that will reward both you and
your customers.

: -

Virtually every car dealer in Flrieda adds
a charge to the price of cars he sells, a
' "dealer fee/doc fee/dealer prep" fee ranging
from $500 to nearly $1,000. This extra charge
is programmed into your computer. It has been made
illegal in many states including California, but is still legal "EARL STEWART"
in Florida. The reason you charge this fee is simply to in-
crease the price of the car and your profit In such a manner that it is not noticed
by your customers. This is just plain wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495) and when I stopped charging it
a few years ago it was scary. But i did it because I could no longer, in good conscience, mislead my customers.
Just because everybody else was doing the same thing, did not make it correct.
Now, here is the god news. After eliminating the dealer fee my profit per car did drop byabout the amount of the
dealer fee. but my customers realized I was now givingthem a fairshake
and quoting a complete out-the-door price with no "surprises". And the .` ai .lids like
word spread. My volume of car sales began to rise rapidly. Sure, I was .- I i t.l yi ur
making a few hundred dollars less per car; but I was selling a lot more ..; ,,
cars. I was and am selling cars to many of your former customers. My t '
bottom line has improved, not because I eliminated the dealer fee, but W !.'-aiwM l ua.
because I was able to earn the trust of more customers in buying their
new or used car. You can do the same, 378 11
Why am I writing this letter? I'm not going to tell you that I think of myself
as the new "sheriff" that has come to "clean up South Florida". In fact, d 0 6 to ouW team
I am well aware that this letter is, to some extent, self-serving, Many s aw. ~i ltLUle,
people will read this letter andlearn why they should buy a car from me, ;S"'libOd shoPt
and not you. And, I am also aware that most dealers who read this will ,s OuSfi tptl.
either get angry and ignore it or not have the courage to follow my lead. '
But maybe you will be the exception. If you have any interest in following my lead, call me anytime. I don't have a
secretary and I don't screen any of my phone calls. I would love to chat with you about this.
Sincerely, Earl Stewart

Meds can

help you

quit

ast week I wrote
about three keys to
Successful smoking
cessation: getting ready,
getting support and
encouragement and
learning new skill and
behavior.
SThis week I'll talk about
getting medication and
Losing it correctly and
preparing for relapses and
difficult situations.
-There are several med-
Jeations approved by the
',.S Food and Drug
administration to help
smokers quit. Most of
them help you mange
.withdrawal symptoms and
0ges with small amounts
of nicotine. One of them,
buipropion, is sometimes
ised to fight depression
ind may help reduce
nicotine cravings.
'According to the Nation-
al Institutes of Health,
using an aid to help you
quit could as much as
double your chances of
being successful.
It's also important to
remember that even if
these products are avail-
able over-the-counter
without a prescription,
they are powerful and
could have side effects.
You should talk to your
doctor, especially if you
are younger than 18, are
pregnant or breastfeeding
or have a medical condi-
tion.
SUnder a doctor's super-
vision, you may be able to
use these products safely,
,without side effects.

Most muffins
have from 400 to
700 calories each
and Danish,
scones, croissants

In the Jan. 19

information.
This one disturbs me the
most. Weren't we all raised on
and didn't we raise our kids on
Campbell's red and white label
condensed soup?
Half a can averages half a
person's daily quota of salt. Buy
the lower salt version.
This week we will make
homemade chicken soup and if
too much salt wasn't reason
enough, how about the addi-
tives such as MSG?
What? You've never made
chicken soup? Believe me, it's a
piece of cake. The incredible
aroma of chicken soup perme-
ates a home with love. You've
noticed that scent when you
pull into a shopping center that
has a restaurant with a smart
chef.
When I was a kid, my mater-
nal grandmother made the best
chicken soup. In those days,

hope you had a good
week.
I am available for talks, call
the paper and leave me a
message at (772) 465-5656.
Today I will give you a list of
foods you should never eat
according to the Center for
Science in the Public Interest.
McDonalds now offers its
Chicken Selects premium
breast strips.
A standard five- strip order
has 630 calories and 11 grams
of saturated fat. That's as much
as a Big Mac, except the burger
has about 1,010 milligrams of
sodium and the chicken strips
pack a whopping 1,550 mil-
ligrams even without the salty
sauce!
A king-size order of Burger
King packs 600 calories and
three-fourths your daily
maximum for heart-unhealthy
fat.
Dove squeezes 300 calories
and 9 to 13 grams of saturated
fat into a half a cup of its Dove
ice cream. That puts Dove in
the same ballpark as Ben and'
Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs, a
half-day's worth of fat in one
serving.
Try Breyer's low-fat and
sugar-free ice cream. It's
delicious and will make your
heart happy.
Mrs. Field's Milk Chocolate &
Walnut cookie has more than
300 calories and as much fat as
a 12-ounce sirloin steak.
Watch out for those lattes. If
you don't choose low-fat you
could be adding from 700 to *
more than 1,000 calories and
1/2 days worth of fat to your
diet.

Pay attention to details. Listen carefully to what

people raised their own chick-
ens and used every part. Along
with chicken parts there were
chicken feet.
Don't say, yuckk." Read on!
Chicken feet are loaded with
calcium and nutrients, and
they make a very rich soup.
When grandma ate the feet.
(she was seated at the head of
the table so I really couldn't see
into her bowl, (after all I was
only 6), she did it with such
relish that I asked if I could
have some the next time.
When I finally got them in my
soup bowl I realized that feet
meant feet! Couldn't do it, just
couldn't do it. But did I learn?
Not me! I won't even tell you
what transpired with the head
of the chicken!
When I saw a package of
frozen chicken feet in Publix, I
had to buy them. While adding
the feet, which are very clean
and scrubbed, to my soup, I felt
like a little kid doing things

removed them from the pot
before serving.

You learn just as much from your experiences as

Why make homemade soup? Just
about every soup you buy contains

hydrolyzed protein. Read the labels.

It's a big step to stop
smoking, but that's only
the beginning. The harder
battle is staying smoke-
free for the long haul.
Here are some strategies
and plans, again taken
from QuitAssist, to help
you through some rough
patches.
According to the Centers
for Diseases Control and
Prevention, your risk of
relapse is greatest during
the first three months
after quitting.
Have a plan in place to
cope with being around

other smokers or. in other
difficult situations. You
know what your triggers
are; plan for how you'll
handle them ahead of
time.
If you smoke to handle
stress, you need a replace-
ment coping skill. Exercise
is a great stress reliever
and mood elevator. You
might try yoga or tai chi or
go for a walkor run.
Don't beat yourself up if
you slip. Don't give up.
Try to figure out what
happened to make that
urge uncontrollable. Are
there things you can do to
cope better next time? Ask
for help from friends and
experts.
Coffee and alcohol are
often smoke triggers; limit
their use.
Eat nutritious food and
try to exercise most days.
This will also help main-
tain your weight.
Remind yourself of the
benefits of not smoking.
Think of good health.
Think of how unpleasant
the house used to smell.
Think of the money you're
saving.

EXOTIC MORTGAGES CAN BE CONFUSING
The consensus of opinion at a recent Senate Banking Committee hearing is that
many customers are confused about non-traditional or "exotic" home mortgages.
Sometimes termed "alternative mortgages," they allow marginally qualified borrowers
to havoeqoption of payments, including interest-only and even lower payments
resulting ih negative amortization. In the last few years these exotic loans have
become popular in areas where home values have increased dramatically. However,
these loans have the potential for creating serious future financial problems for the
borrower,
BoiroWrs may not be sufficiently informed about the risk with these mortgages.
Federal banking regulators will soon release guidance to lenders that require greater
disclosures to borrowers and recommend tighter credit standards for such loans. The
advantage of these non-traditional mortgage products is that they increase the ability
of borrowers to'manage their own money and wealth. They can tap their homes'
increased equity to meet needs ranging from education to health care to home
improvement, and to purchase homes in markets where homes are appreciating. While
these products have often been characterized as 'new' many of them actually predate
long term fixed-rate.mortgage.
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

From page B1
amazed when I got letters
and e-mails, especially
from my Jewish readers,
thanking me for bring
them back to their child-
hood. It's a known fact that
when someone was sick all
they needed was a bowl of
a Jewish mamma's chicken
soup (Jewish Penicillin). It
has to be a European thing
but now I know the secret
ingredient was the feet.
My family made Italian
penicillin and I'll bet that
every family had their
home country's magic
chicken soup. Don't you
think that's pretty cool??
Chicken soup should be
a free meal. Whenever I
have any leftover chicken,
I freeze it. In the future
save any leftover cooked
chicken. I don't recom-
mend already been
chewed pieces, but
anything else is fine. If you
insist you can use a whole
chicken, cut up. Use a fryer
not a soup chicken, the
meat is too tough. I always
use a pressure cooker for
chicken soup. In less than
30 minutes the soup is
done.
Enjoy and see you next,
week.

CHICKEN SOUP
1 whole chicken, cut up
(save the wings for
another use), or chicken
parts raw or cooked
1 to 2 pounds chicken
feet (optional)*
1 large onion, about3-
inches in diameter,

peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1. teaspoon salt
1/2-teaspoon pepper
2 large ribs of celery with
leaves, cut up
2 tablespoons chopped
fresh parsley or 1 table-
spoons dried
6-quart stock pot or
pressure cooker
*Add to cookbook.
Remove skin and as much
fat as possible from the
chicken parts.
Soak raw chicken in cold
salted water for at least one
hour.
This is called "bleeding
the chicken" and gives the
meat a fresher taste. The
following is an optional
step, but I have found it
adds a great deal of flavor
to the soup. Saute onions
in canola oil until they are
lightly golden
(caramelized).
Add chicken and remain-
ing ingredients. Fill the pot
two-thirds with water and
cook covered about two
hours in the pot or follow
instructions with pressure
cooker.
Pour soup into large
colander that is placed
over a large container and let
meat cool until it can be
handled.
Ifyou'rejust making broth,
chill the soup, remove fat and
freeze broth in zipper bags.
Remove chicken from bones
and freeze for casseroles and
salads.
For soup, shred some
chicken into broth. Mash
the onions and celery with
a fork or with your hands
and add to the broth.
Chill; remove fat.

To serve, add any veg-
etable you choose and
cook until tender, or add
partially cooked noodles
or freeze the soup without
extra veggies for the next
delicious treat.

Practicing eco-tourism when traveling

As we travel the far
corners of the
world, we are faced
with the responsibility to
preserve the fragile
environments we visit.
The concept of traveling
responsibly is called
ecotourism. Ecotourism
is traveling in such a
manner as to protect the
environment and nourish
its many systems.
Taken to an extreme
analogy, the disregard of
eco-conscious travel
would be akin to filling in
the Grand Canyon to
build a Starbucks. There
is nothing wrong with
Starbucks. Even though
we all love a good mocha,
our priorities should be
aimed at preserving this
planet's natural and
cultural treasures.
By focusing on the
impact of our actions and
using a little common
sense, travelers can make
the right decisions to
positively impact the
world around them.

. '

GERALDINE BLANCHARD
Travel
To begin eco-traveling,
please foJlow these
guidelines compiled by
the American Society of
Travel Agents. As some of
the most travel-wise
people in the world, ASTA
members know how
special our planet is, and
why we must take good
care of it.

and it can hold its own
against the big boys in
the solar system. Yet the
earth's ecosystem the
scenic surface features
we stand next to in
pictures is a fragile
infrastructure dependent
on balanced and cyclical
nurturing.
Think of the ecosystem
as the earth's hair. It looks
great now, but the more
we tread on it, the
messier it becomes, until
one day the planet wakes
up completely bald.
Unless we combine our
efforts to help in its
preservation, the unique
and beautiful destina-
tions we take for granted
today may not be here for
future generations to
enjoy.
Keep your group small
and manageable. Less
people mean less of
everything else: less
garbage, less food,
smaller fires, smaller
campsites and less
crowding of popular
areas. Simple solutions
make for major improve-
ments.

The road most
traveled

Always follow designat-
ed trails and resist the
urge to explore the forest.
Following the basic
rules of eco-tourism can
be as easy as following a
well-marked trail,
because on the well-
marked trail is where you
should be.
Do not disturb animals,
plants or their natural
habitats, and they will
not disturb you. Remem-
ber how you were told a
thousand times as a child
to not tap the aquarium's
glass? Well, consider each
ecological wonder a
special aquarium.

Leave only footprints
Take only photographs
and leave only footprints.
These two simple phrases
sum up the heart of eco-
tourism. Do not leave
litter of any kind and do
not take any souvenirs
from historical sites and
natural areas. In some

Travel
From page B4

"Creating beautiful interiors since 1981"

instances, such as taking
a piece of the Great
Barrier Reef, it's a crime.
Never disturb anything
that you can avoid
disturbing. Find fallen
branches for firewood
instead of cutting down
small trees. The squirrels
and birds will appreciate
if you leave their homes
exactly as you find them.
Also, leave the pretty
rocks where they are.
Your desk will survive
without another paper-
weight. The "it's only one
rock" attitude goes out
the window when a
million people each take
one rock from one forest.

Education is a
terrible thing to
waste

Educate yourself about
the geography, customs'
and manners of the
region you plan to visit.
This extends past learn-
ing about the best restau-
rants to dine at or which
tourist attraction to pass
up. Get to know the
culture before you arrive
and know which of your
actions or standards may
negatively impact the
environment.
Tourism can also
provide a positive boost
to local people. Attending
local events encourages
indigenous pride and
cultural heritage,
enabling traditions to be
preserved.

Respect

Respect the privacy of
others and always ask
before photographic,
people.
Some Australian aborig-
ines believe that photo-
graphs steal their souls,
especially with the lens
cap off. While you may
not believe this to be
true, respect their beliefs
and slide the camera
back into the backpack.
Also, be respectful of
local peoples' land by
asking permission before
entering buildings,
shrines or sacred lands.
Showing respect will gain
you the most treasured of
travel souvenirs: trust.

Eco-friends and
neighbors

Support conservation-
oriented organizations
already working to
preserve the environ-
ment and select responsi-

ble tour operators and
guides who contribute
financially to conserva-
tion and preservation
efforts.
Also, choose destina-
tions that are not over-
crowded or over-devel-
oped and encourage
organizations to sub-
scribe to environmental
guidelines.

Eco-souvenirs

Souvenirs are a vital
part of every trip, special
for their uniqueness and
a direct mental link to a
great vacation memory.
As a concerned eco-
tourist, do not buy
products made from
endangered plants or
animals, such as ivory,
tortoise shell, animal
skins and feathers. Also, a
nice touch is to purchase
souvenirs from local
artists to keep cultural
traditions alive.
Expand this idea and
dine in locally-owned
restaurants, and choose
locally-owned and
operated lodges, hotels,
tour guides, taxis, buses
and car rental agencies.

It's a small world
after all

Traveling with the world

in mind provides a more
satisfying travel experi-
ence.
Challenge yourself to
learn about the places
and people you visit and,
while visiting, help
sustain their fragile
environments,
economies and cultures.
Some travel agents
specialize specifically in
this type of travel and are
a major asset in planning
your special trip.
Through increased
awareness and an earnest
desire to help protect
natural and cultural
resources for the good of
the planet and for the
generations yet to
explore, you can trek to
the four corners with a
positive impact and
responsibly enjoy every
step of your way.
It will make the travel
experience that much
sweeter and the memo-
ries that much richer.

"Just say 'no' to fat and
grease. Planet Smoothie:
we're changing the way
the Planet eats," is the
motto they follow.
One smell of the freshly
toasted wraps, and I
could hardly wait to
change the way I ate.
I grabbed a booth and
looked over the menu
hung on the wall in large,
clear and colorful print.
A variety of music from
the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s
adds to the fun atmos-
phere music that made
one couple dance at the
counter.
Owner Caroline York
said: "Many people come
to Planet Smoothie Caf6
because of the healthy
gourmet food and
smoothies."
"We have a lot of cus-
tomers who drink our
weight-loss smoothies
and come back because
they are losing weight,"
added husband and co-

Planet Smoothie in Jensen Beach.

Smoothie on its point sys-

Offering healthy, deli-
cious, convenient gour-
met meals for people on
the go is important to the
York's.
The York's added a steak
fajita to the menu for
those who wanted a little
beef, and so far, it's been a
real winner. They use a
special panini oven to
toast all their wraps to
perfection.
I began my meal with an
Acai smoothie. One sip
took me to the white sand
beaches of the Bahamas.
The fresh fruit and highly
sought after ingredient
"Acai" exported from the
Amazon, is known to give
energy and vitality. The
taste was explosive.
I also tried the Choco-
late Elvis, which is choco-
late, peanut butter,
bananas, yogurt, and a
booster blast. The King
would have loved it. I did.
Then I had to try the

butter, strawberries,
bananas, and yogurt. It
tasted just like the
famous sandwich and
was awesome.
Four different multi-
vitamin wellness blasts
are available to assist cus-
tomers with maintaining
good health. Some
smoothies already con-
tain the blasts. If they
don't, just add one.
All of the smoothies I
tried were strong in flavor
and smooth in texture. It
is obvious they use
shaved ice, and fresh
ingredients.
I ordered several of the
wraps, one turkey, one
steak and one vegetarian.
The Turkey Lurkey wrap
has turkey, avocado,
roasted red peppers, let-
tuce, tomatoes and low-
fat honey mustard dress-
ing wrapped in a
sun-dried toasted wrap.
The honey mustard really
set off the turkey flavor. It
was a hit in my mouth.
The Harry Shroomin'
has marinated portabella
mushrooms, onions, let-
tuce, tomatoes and oozes
with provolone cheese. I
customized this one by
adding steak. Wow. It
came wrapped in a
spinach wrap and tasted
beyond my wildest
dreams. I love steak, and I
loved this wrap.
The Tree Hugger geared
for vegetarians, which I
am not, has marinated
portabella mushrooms
with provolone cheese,
lettuce, and tomatoes and
comes in a whole-wheat
wrap. Like I said, I am not
a vegetarian, but I will
come back to Planet
Smoothie Caf6 for this
particular wrap. It was so
good. The flavor blew my
mind. It was my favorite
of the three, and to top it

Barn

Theatre sets

sail on the

H.M.S.

Pinafore

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer

The Barn Theatre's
upcoming production of
the Gilbert and Sullivan
operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore,"
running from Jan. 26-Feb.
24, is a family affair.
Director, John Sabo, and
musical director, Vyki Sabo,
are a husband-and-wife
team, who are bringing to
life one of musical theater's
classics.
John Sabo welcomes the
excitement of staging a
musical, especially an
operetta.
"It's a delightful and
challenging show," he said.
"If you're going to do a
parody of opera, you have
to write opera with
comedic overtones.

"Gilbert and Sullivan take
operas and make fun of
them, in a respectful way."
He added the story is
classic Gilbert and Sullivan,
with a topsy-turvy series of
events, involving a captain
and a sailor, born into
different classics and
switched at birth.
The show has a cast of 17,
which Mr. Sabo said he is
delighted with. It includes:
John Houx, as the captain;
Richard Schultz, as Sir
Joseph; Harley Dingman, as
Dick Deadeye; Amanda
Dillon, as Buttercup; Tom
Hausler, as Ralph; and
KristenWhalen, as
Josephine.
"We've got six very strong
leads," Mr. Sabo said. "Tom

came in as Ralph at the last
minute, and saved the day.
He's only 17, as is Kristen
Whalen. They're high
school students and very
talented young people."
He hopes audiences not
familiar with Gilbert and
Sullivan, won't be put off by
the word operetta.
"It's comic opera and
we're stressing the enjoy-
ment of the show. We're
going to have some fun
with it."
"H.M.S Pinafore" will be
performed at the Barn
Theatre, located at 2400 E.
Ocean Blvd., in Stuart, from
Jan. 26-Feb. 24.
Performances are
Wednesday-Saturday at 8
p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

'HMS Pinafore' cast
members Tom Hausler,
John Houx, Kristen
Whalen, and Richard
Schultz rehearse a scene
from the Gilbert and
Sullivan comic operetta
opening Friday, Jan. 26 at
the Barn Theatre in Stuart.

I munched on a few
gourmet rosemary and
olive oil chips that had no
trans fat and they were
fresh, crunchy and burst-
ing with flavor.
For dessert, I tried two
of the four coffee and fat-
free yogurt smoothies. I
couldn't believe they were

fat-free. They could be
addicting.

every year, including the White Doves
Holiday Project and the School Supplies

connecting people with meaningful
volunteer opportunities.

*Establish, enhance and renew relation-
ships with 50 agencies.

tive Service Corps, a group
of volunteer consultants
who can help agencies
with planning, human
resources, budgeting and
management.

+To organize 30 recruit-
ment events to generate
an influx of new volun-
teers.
For example, Martin
Volunteers will be hosting
Tuesday morning coffees
at 10 a.m., inviting the
public to learn about
volunteer opportunities
throughout the communi-
ty.
"Our goal is to be the one
source to learn about

volunteering and for
agencies to post opportu-
nities," said Carol Hod-
nett, director of Martin
Volunteers. "We want to
make it easy on the
individuals and the
agencies; one-stop shop-
ping."

Jensen Beach rolls

to first district title

Martin County
holds on for
title, too
BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

Jensen Beach soccer
burst on to the scene in
2006 when the boys won
the state championship.
But while the Falcons
marched through the reg-
'ular season this year, the
Lady Falcons were quietly
making a statement of
their own.
On Jan 19, that quiet
statement got a little loud-
er.
Four different players
scored goals, and the Lady
Falcons won the District
14-4A championship,
beating Suncoast High
School at home, 4-0. It was
the first girls' Soccer dis-
trict championship in the
schools three-year history.
"They played their game

tonight they played beau-
tifully and I'm so proud of
them," said Jensen Beach
head coach Patty Morris.
With the win, Morris
became the first coach to
with district title at all
three Martin County high
schools.
The Lady Falcons con-
trolled the tempo of the
game right from the start.
Just four minutes in, Kayla
Conrad (1 goal, 1 assist)
found Danyelle Good (1
goal, 1 assist) on a crossing
pattern in the box and
Good kicked in for the
games first goal.
Jensen would keep the
pressure on the Chargers
defense throughout the
first half, playing almost
the entire 40 minutes on
the Suncoast side of the
field.
With the help of Good
and Conrad, Chole Stokes
and Yolanda King kept the

School boys' soccer team,

ence champions back to
back years, there's some-
thing to be said there. But
does a Treasure Lakes
Conference champi-
onship mean anything?
No. It means nothing for
the playoffs." Jensen
Beach head coach Charlie
Rosseau said. "It means
nothing other than the
pride amongst other
schools here."
Centennial clearly was
playing for pride. The
Eagles came out of the
gate with a passion that
had not been seen on the
team since the new year.
Pressuring the Falcons
defenders, up the middle
and down the line, cap-
tain Sean Humann and
company frustrated the
Falcons backfield getting
shots on goal more often
than Jensen Beach would
have liked.
But the Falcons, who
score with regularity on
most nights, fought back
against tough Centennial
defense led by goalie
Lucas Perez and defend-
ers Andre Moreno and
Hugo Morales.
After being flanked by
two and three Eagles as
soon as they came within
scoring range, Jensen
Beach got a break with
just over five minutes
remaining in the first half.
A Humann yellow card
awarded the Falcons with
a free kick from just out-
side the box. Junior Kevin
Fitzpatrick rifled a shot
over Eagle defenders to
the top left corner of the
goal, giving Jensen Beach
a 1-0 lead.
A header by Chris Berg-

credit, played the last 20
minutes just as hard as
the first.
"We never quit on any-
thing even if it's the end of
the match, and were
down 7-0," said Suncoast
head coach Terry Robin-
son. "It's just shows me
how tough you are. It's
real easy to quit and lay
down when you're down
4-0."
The second half saw

more of the same from the
Lady Falcons. Conrad
made the score 2-0 in the
39 minute and freshman
Crystal McNamara added
another in the 54th
minute with a rifle shot to
the upper right corner of
the net. Stokes shot from
the top of the 18-yard box
five minutes later com-
pleted the scoring for on
the night. The barrage of
goals from four different
members the Falcons did-
n't come as a surprise to
anyone on team or coach-
ing staff. They have seen it
all season, and will no
doubt count on the talent
of a well-rounded team to
carry them deep into the
playoffs.
"All year long it's been
like that. Everybody's

been scoring," said Mor-
ris. "It takes the pressure
off just one person. You
can mark one person and
that's alright because we
got three more who can
score."
Martin County girls soc-
cer also was a big winner
last Friday. The Tigers
beat West Boca Raton, 3-
2, for the District 14-5A
title. Lindsay Hawes
scored all three goals for
Martin County, leading
the team to its eighth dis-
trict championship.
Both teams hosted
regional matchups Tuhs-
day, Jan 25. Jensen Beach
played Merritt Island and
Martin County faced Bay-
side for the chance to
advance to the next round
of the state playoffs.

Check out the trends at

PGA Merchandise Show

A S y0u readthis
n moment to put me
in your thoughts and
prayers. You see, as you
enjoy your coffee this
morning, or cold beverage
if it's now afternoon or
evening, I am off in
Orlando toiling away at the
2007 PGA Merchandise
Show.
Yes, as you relax in the
comfort of your own
home, or the 19t hole
after a pleasant round, I
am working.
I'm marching up and
down aisles of golf equip-
ment, accessories, balls,
apparel and much, much
more. I'm hitting and
testing all kinds of clubs
and teaching aides in an
effort to find the best of
these items and report my
findings to you.
By now, I have played
golf in two media events
and attended the PGA's
demo day testing out
several hundred new
clubs.
I've tried on the newest
golf shoes and test-walked
them for hundreds of
yards.
I've sat down and chatted
with Christina Kim, Paula
Creamer, Chi Chi
Rodriquez, Jesse Ortiz, and
others.
I've been forced to attend
parties, eat rich food ani ,d
sit in the whirlpool tub of, ,
my spacious condo to,,
regenerate my weary
bones. Yep, I've been ,
working my tail off in the
hopes that what I learn
this week will bring joy and
good golf to my faithful
readers and fans.
OK, so it's not the hardest
job in the world, but
someone has to do it.
For us golfers, the PGA of
America's annual Mer-
chandise Show in Orlando

JAMES STAMMER
Golf columnist

is the perfect beginning to
the year.
Held in the Orange
County Convention Center
each January, the Mer-
chandise Show takes up
every square inch of the
Center's one million-plus
square feet of floor space.
More than 10 miles of
carpet are laid out to form
the aisles between
exhibitors.
Manufacturers of every-
thing from golf balls to
bags to shirts to furniture
to mowing equipment to
exercise machines to
energy drinks and so on
are on hand. Anything to
do with golf, and even a
few things that one swears
are not, may be found
here. Many of the more
than 1,200 companies will
wait until this show to pull
the wraps off of their latest
products.:
This is where my dedica-
tion to golf and country
club comes in. Since most
of you will have to wait
until spring to see these
new items, I must let you
in on the secrets early.
The task of informing
you of what's new in
drivers, irons, putters, balls
and so forth, falls squarely
on my shoulders. One
wrong step could cost you,
my readers and fans, a

stroke here or a few dollars
there. Luckily, I have big,
strong shoulders.
Not every course or shop
sends someone to the
show. Many depend on
company reps to show
them all the latest technol-
ogy and steer them in the
right direction for their
customers. I'm convinced
that every year I find many
items that our local shops
or golfers wouldn't even
hear of, much less consid-
er for their game. I consid-
er it my calling and duty to
find those and report back
to you. After all, if technol-
ogy can put a man on the
moon, imagine what it can
do for your golf game.
Please, hold the
applause. There is no need
to thank me. I do all of this
because of the deep love in
my heart for our game.
Sometimes one must
make sacrifices for the
good of the sport and the
needs of his fans. Your
thanks comes in the form
of better scores and more
enjoyable rounds for all of
you. Stay tuned over the
next few weeks as I fill you
in on all the latest and
greatest in the world of golf
for 2007.
Now if you'll excuse me, I
really must to get back to
work. Can someone relight
my cigar? Where did I set
my ice cold beer? Hey, who
turned down the thermo-
stat on the hot tub? Is it
just me or is the picture on
that 55-inch plasma
television a little too
sharp? Hello, room service.

enthusiast for 30 years. He

Pirates
From page D4

Fire hold on for victory.
"I had to one-hand catch
it, and wanted to take it to
the house, but coach was
nms telling me just drop down
ings so I dropped down and let
the time run out," said
S Forte.
g But as strong as the Fire
a finished, they started the
Game just as bad.
Playing on their home
field, the Pirates came out
ready to stomp the Fire
S right out of Fort Pierce. On
the game's first play from
scrimmage, Fire quarter-
sat.e, back Jason Taylor botched
um a hand off, and Treasure
Coast defender Art Davis
S recovered the fumble at
the Fires' 28-yard line.
Pirates' running back LC
Charles took the ball up
700378 the middle for the games
first score on the next play.
Two possessions later,
Kenny Johnson blocked a
Fort Pierce punt, pick-up
the ball and ran it 22-yards
for the score. The Pirates
would add two Massimo
Scaccia field goals to make
the score 20-2 going into
C halftime.
[ER! "The players came out in
the second half wanting to
make a point and they did
that," said Fire defensive
coach Kenny Holmes.
"They didn't give up a sin-
gle point. My coaching
staff came out on the side-
lines keeping everybody
up cause the morale could

have been down."
The Fire's only two points
of the first half came on a
safety in the first quarter,
and proved to be, the dif-
ference in the' game. The
Fire failed to score on a
two-point conversion on
its first touchdown, and a
botched snap killed an
extra point attempt on
their second.

safety would be as impor-
tant as it turned out,
Holmes said no, but that
doesn't mean he didn't
keep that in mind toward
the end.
"Just knowing football,
every point counts and
that play they made down
there was huge. I mean it
won us the game," Holmes
said.
After a poor showing in
the Palm Bowl on Jan. 13,
the Fort Pierce offense
came alive with Howard'
running the ball. A late
switch to quarterback
Quinton Jackson also
helped. Jackson was sup-
posed to start but arrived
late, forcing the Fire to go
with third-string signal-
caller Taylor to start the
game. Starting quarter-
back Tommy Share injured
his leg in the Palm Bowl
but was ready to go if
needed Saturday.
But the story was
Howard's ability to pick up
big yardage when his team
needed him. A member of
the 2007 St. Lucie West
Centennial graduating
class, Howard looked
much older than his 18-
year-old face would indi-
cate, as he knocked over
defenders on his way to

two touchdowns. Howard
finished with 148 yards on
just 21 carries.
"The only thing we have
to do to keep the offense
going is keep running that
ball," said Howard. "I tell
them to give me the ball,
I'm gonna make things
happen."
While the Fire celebrated
on one sideline, the Pirates
looked on in disbelief from
the other. The loss was the
team's second in two
weeks and one they
thought they had won.
"Man, I don't know what
happened. We vere up 20-
2 at halftime and then
things just fell apart. I don't
know what it was," said
Pirates quarterback Jamaul
O'Bryant. "I'm not gonna
blame anybody. But we got
a lot of stuff to work on.".
The Fire (1-1 overall, 1-0
Southern States Football
League) look to continue
their winning ways Satur-
day, Jan. 27, when they face
the East Coast Reapers at
Lawnwood stadium. East
Coast knocked the Fire out
'of the SSFL playoffs last
year.
The Pirates have a bye
this week and will play the
Fort Myers Spartans at
home on Feb. 3.

Falcons two more goals in
the second half to provide
the final margin.
"That was not that bad,
playing against a state
champion. We're not that
bad, we're legitimate," said
Centennial head coach
Calvin Lewis. "One of these
days we will beat them.
They can't beat us forever."
Despite a number of
chances in the second half,
Centennial couldn't get
anything started offensive-
ly. The lack of offense put
added pressure on the
Eagle defense, and in the
end, the constant Perez
was too much.
But regardless of the lop-
sided score, Centennial

looked strong otherwise,
and came away knowing
what they have to do to get
better in next week's dis-
trict tournament.
"We had two chances
that we didn't capitalize
on, but in the back we
played good," said Perez.
"It could have been a lot
worse, but we played a
good game."
Centennial (11-7) played
in the District 6-6A semifi-
nals Jan. 24 against Vero
Beach. Jensen Beach (21-
2-1) is the top seed in the
in District 14-4A tourna-
ment being played at the
school this week. Results
for both tournaments were
too late for publication.
