Court diverts


troubled teens


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
Imagine you are at
work one day and you
get a call that your
teenager has been
arrested for stealing
sunglasses from Sears.
This child, who has
never been in trouble
before, is handcuffed
and taken to the Juvenile
Detention Center for
booking.
Now imagine that
instead of spending the
next few months dealing
with judges, lawyers,
court dates and fines,
your teen enters a
program that not only
eliminates the arrest
record, but in the
process educates and
counsels your child to a


degree that keeps him or
her out of trouble
forever.
Such a program does
exist in the 19th Judicial
Circuit, which includes
Martin, St. Lucie,
Okeechobee and Indian
River counties.
Dubbed Delinquency
Diversion, the program
has two methods of
working with troubled
youth.
The first method is
Teen Court, and the
second consists of
delinquency diversion
panels.
With successful
completion in either
program, the teen's
arrest record is cleared
without the youth ever

Homeowners still left with


many insurance decisions


Representative
Snyder says
'everyone must
evaluate their
resources'
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
STUART-When it comes
time for Floridians to renew
their property insurance,
they will be happy to notice
rate reductions. However,
they will also have decisions
to make on options avail-
able to reduce insurance
premiums further.
State Rep. William D.
Snyder, whose district
includes Martin County and
parts of St. Lucie and Palm
Beach counties, noted
recently that the new


insurance reform bill signed
by Gov. Crist on Jan. 25 will
permit property owners to
drop windstorm coverage
from their policies and
eliminate a cap on the
insurance deductible. As a
result, he cautions property
owners who are considering
their options.
"Everyone needs to
evaluate their resources. I
encourage people to seek
advice and not arbitrarily
take the highest deductions
for the lowest rates," he said.
"Have someone analyze
your risks. You don't want to
be standing in your front
yard after a hurricane and
realize you can't afford to
pay your deductible and
you can't get your house
fixed."
Rep. Snyder said that
although the idea of having
more money in your wallet


William D. Snyder
at the end of the bill-paying
cycle is enticing, consumers
should remember that
insurance is all about risk.
"You are betting, by
buying insurance, that you
are going to have damage,

Community College stu-

no longer have to trek to
Fort Pierce just to buy
their books.
On a picture-perfect
day that makes people
thrilled to live in Florida,
an outdoor ceremony
was held Feb. 7 for the


dedication of the Robert
Morgade Administration
and Student Services
Center at Indian River
Community College's
Chastain Campus in Stu-
art.
Described as a "one-
stop shopping" student"
center, it was opened
after $1.5 million in reno-
vations to an existing
building. Those renova-
tions were made possible


through benefactors
Andy and Fran Morgade
of Palm City. The center is
named for their late son,
Robert.
The 16,000 square-foot
building contains class-
rooms and a full array of
student services that
includes a financial aid
and career center, a cafe-
teria, and a bookstore.

STUART -A pair of show
business masters are help-
ing to bring Broadway to
some lucky South Fork
High School drama stu-
dents.
Robert Gardner and
Monica Yandow are two
high-caliber volunteers
who work behind the
scenes on costumes, props
and sets.
Ironically, the perform-
ance now running at
South Fork, "Noises Off," is
a humorous play about
professional theatre. This
volunteer duo could have
written such a play from
wisdom gleaned in the
entertainment industry
earlier in their careers.
Mr. Gardner, known as
"Broadway Bob," was a
stagehand for 35 years on
Broadway. He has worked
with Angela Lansbury, Joel
Grey and Lawrence Olivier
among others.
"He can build anything,"


said Annie Schwarz, the
drama teacher at South
Fork.
"He not only builds my
sets, but he teaches-the
kids about theatrical car-
pentry."
She said Mr. Gardner
puts his life into all he does
and creates.
"He gets to school some-
times at 8:30 a.m. and
works all day. For a man in
his 80's that is amazing.
His work is spectacular
and everyone knows it,"
Ms. Schwarz said.
Mr. Gardner said he not
only works on the sets, but
he likes getting to know
the kids.
"I kid around with the
students a lot," Mr. Gard-
ner said.
"Doing this is my life. My
wife passed away and this
has helped me cope. I love
doing this. It's great being
able to do what you love."

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 sophistication are much
higher today. Your customers are no different.
My remarks are made sincerely and with a
positive intent toward you and your custom-

am suggesting a change that

"My cusw

expectation

Virtually every car dealer Of eauc
in Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a SOphisti(
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 much hig
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 in Florida. The reason you charge this
fee is simply to increase the price of the car
T 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
r 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 good news. After eliminat-
ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop
by about the amount of the dealer fee, but
my customers realized I was now giving them
a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the-
door price with no "surprises". And the word
spread. My volume of car sales began to rise
rapidly. Sure, I was 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 bottom line.
has improved, not because I eliminated the'
dealer fee, but because I was
towers' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
ins, level or used car. You can do the
same.

I'm not going to tell you that

fact, I am well aware that this
letter is, to some extent, self-
serving. Many people will read this letter and
learn why they should buy a car from me,
and not you. And, I am also aware that most
dealers who read this will 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.

STUART Arnold R.
Stanberry, 56, president of
Martin County's chapter
of the National Associa-
tions for the Advancement
of Colored People, died
suddenly in his home on
Wednesday, Jan. 7.
Raised in Pensacola, Mr.
Stanberry was a Martin
County resident for 20
years, having moved from
Atlanta. Survivors include
his wife, Debra, and nine
children.
An activist for many
years, Mr. Stanberry had
been head of NAACP since
2003. He fought to help
lower-income families
find affordable housing.
He also was appointed to
the Martin County Board
of Zoning Adjustment.
Mr. Stanberry was
president of Martin
, County Community
i Development Corp., a
company that builds
housing at affordable
prices, and also sold office
. supplies. He managed
several music groups as
well..
In an interview with the
Hometown News last
month, Mr. Stanberry
spoke with optimism of
the efforts by community
leaders that he believed
would make Martin
County a better place for
people of all races and
backgrounds.
"A lot of us in Martin
County share the same


concerns, but in the past,
we were just not united
together," said Mr. Stan-
berry.
"That is what we are
pushing for this year; to
bring nonprofits, church-
es and businesses togeth-
er that can step up to the
plate for simple issues,"
he said, adding, "We have
some great people in this
community, who give and
care and want to be
involved. Martin County
can be a better place for
all people, of all colors
and all economic posi-
tions if we come together."
Rep. William Snyder
recently hosted an open
house at his new office in
Stuart that Mr. Stanberry
attended.
"Arnold was a true
gentleman," said Rep.
Snyder. "He was a, delight:
to work with, and I con-
sidered him a friend. He
had an absolute passion
for what he did, and he
was a voice for a portion
of our society that often-
times don't have an,
adequate voice. Arnold
was able to take their
collective voices and make
them heard."
Services for Mr. Stanber-
ry include a viewing from
5-7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 16
at the Cathedral of Praise
Church of God in Jensen
Beach, and on Saturday,
Feb. 17from 9-11 a.m.,
with services to follow, at

is betting that you won't.
And everyone can't win in
that game," he said.
Rep. Snyder further
expounded on the new law,
which will go into effect in
June.
"Going into this legislative
year, it was clear to all of us
that insurance was the
issue," said Rep. Snyder.
"It was the proverbial 800-
pound gorilla in the room
.that everyone had to deal
with."
Rep. Snyder said that
fortunately, House Speaker
Marco Rubio, Senate
President Ken Pruitt, and
Gov. Charlie Crist all saw it
that way.
As a result of the special
session, Rep. Snyder said
that six bills were passed,
resulting in the insurance
reform package.
"We hope this will begin
the process of making
insurance more affordable,
make better sense and treat
consumers better," said Rep.
Snyder.
The reform will heavily
impact Citizens Property
Insurance, which must
freeze rates at their 2006
levels and offer consumers
coverage not offered
previously, potentially
reducing rates by as much
as ten percent.
Citizen's Property Insur-
ance Company is a state-
run company created by the
Florida State Legislature in
2002 to insure properties
that no private insurance
companies would touch.
It has been a touchy
subject for some Floridians
because Florida's taxpayers
are footing the bill for those
insured by Citizen's, many of
who are wealthy individuals
who own waterfront homes.
"There is no other way to
fund Citizen's than through
sharing that risk," said Rep.
Snyder.
"I don't think anybody.
would argue that Florida

month.


being in the insurance
business is not the perfect
answer. But this is not a
perfect world," said Rep.
Snyder.
"We have a large segment
of our population that
cannot get insurance. There
are instances where people
who are wealthy and live in
coastal areas are utilizing
Citizen's insurance. I don't
believe that is entirely fair,
and I suspect and hope that
practice will ultimately be
solved. I think that people
who want to live in coastal
areas that can afford to live
there may ultimately have to
take on their own insurance
risk."
Rep. Snyder pointed out,
however, that the majority
of people who use Citizen's
Insurance are not wealthy.
"They are the every day
man and woman struggling
with a family who just can't
get insurance. Those are the
ones I meet and hear from,"
he added.
Rep. Snyder said that the
message the legislators
heard loud and clear was
that Floridians believed they
could no longer live in the
state because of the high
cost of insurance.
"This was the pulsating
message that the voters sent
to Tallahassee," he said.
"They demanded action,
and I think the action we
took was a huge step in the


right direction."
One major change is
reinsurance, a method by
which private insurance
companies purchase state-
discounted coverage at a
reduced rate.
Rep. Snyder said that the
state-discounted coverage is
made possible because all
insurance sold in Florida
contributes to the reinsur-
ance pool.
The new law requires
companies using the state-
discounted coverage to then
pass the savings on to their
customers.
Rep. Snyder said the
insurance companies based
their rates on the assump-
tion that if Florida had eight
hurricanes in the past, there
were likely to be more in the
future.
"Insurance companies are
a private enterprise with
stockholders and share-
holders; they are not in the
charity business. We have a
state with some of the most
extensive shoreline in the
country, and we have
trillions of dollars worth of
economy to protect. We are
playing in the big leagues,
and insurance companies
are not here as a charity. So
the Legislature is taking
them to task," said Rep.
Snyder.
He pointed out that much
has been built into the
insurance reform law for


consumer protection.
"We've changed the time
span that insurance compa-
nies have to give to con-
sumers before they drop
that person."
Even the way the insur-
ance bills are printed will
change, according to Rep.
Snyder.
"How many people get
these bills and have no clue
what they say?" he asked.
Rep. Snyder also said the
bill has a component to
allow for arbitration, and
another dealing with the
length of time within which
a claim has to be paid.
Rep. Snyder said that the
overriding message of the
legislators is that this reform
is only a first step.
'A lot of what we did will
take years to take effect.
There will be fast results,
and immediate reductions,
but our goal is not just
immediate rate-reduction,"
said Rep. Snyder.
"We want to stabilize the
industry and move forward.
I would like to see a way to
get the insurance compa-
nies back in the insurance
business and get Florida out
of the insurance business."

Martin County chapter of Red Cross receives
high marks after mock disaster

The American National Red Cross bestowed a very
favorable evaluation on the organization's Martin
County chapter, after a one-day mock disaster exercise
that simulated a tornado that affected 250 families.
The evaluation gave high marks to the strengths of
the local Red Cross chapter, including both the quality
and number of volunteers, qualified trainers and good
vendor agreements. Also cited favoriably were the
strong relationships between local agencies and gov-
ernmental bodies, and the Damage Assessment Sys-
tem, which works in conjunction with Martin County's
Property Appraiser's Office and county Building
Department.

Divorce for golfer Greg Norman and wife
proceeds in Martin County court
Greg Norman, his attorney, and an attorney for Mr.
Norman's wife, Laura, appeared at a case management
conference before Circuit Judge Lawrence Mirman on
Feb. 8 in the Martin County Courthouse.
Mrs. Norman was not present for the conference.
Mr. Norman, the golfer also known as the "Great
White Shark," and Laura Norman were married in 1981
and have two adult children. Mr. Norman filed for
divorce in June, 2006.
A second hearing on the divorce will be held in 70
days. In the meantime, Judge Mirman has ordered that
Mr. Norman's attorneys provide logs and passenger
lists related to an airplane owned by Mr. and Mrs. Nor-
man, while accountants for Mrs. Norman will continue
to review the parties' significant assets.

Police locate cameras, motions detectors on
property where drugs were found

Stuart police detectives arrived at 905 Nassau Ave. in
Stuart to serve a search warrant on Feb. 7.
Inside the house, they found Reginald Charles Fyne,
37, trying to flush cocaine and drug paraphernalia
down the toilet.
Inside the house, detectives discovered 44.5 grams of
cocaine, paraphernalia and contraband, in addition to
what the suspect tried to flush.
Outside of the property, detectives found an elabo-
rate setup of cameras and motion detectors, which
police suspect were used to facilitate drug sales and
spot any police in the area.
Mr. Fyne is being held in the Martin County Jail with-
out bond, as the Federal Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration considers federal prosecution.

AFRICAN JEWELRY
The vast continent of
Africa has produced
jewelry of great beauty
and variety since pre-
historic times. In addi-
tion to the work at the
ancient egyptians,
Northern Africa is noted
for the silverwork, plain
and enameled, of
Tuareg and other desert
people. South of the
Sahara, crafts people in
the great medieval king-
doms made rings, ear-
ings, bracelets, and
other ornaments out of
gold (Ghana), amber
(son), ivory and brass
(Benin), and bronze
(Yoruba). Beads of shell
and of glass have long
been important ele-
ments of personal
adornment all over
Africa. Jewelry has also
been used as a vehicle
for religious symbols, as
in the crosses of
Ethiopia and the
amulets of northwestern
Africa and to indicate
social or economic sta-
tus. Today's African jew-
elry echoes many tradi-
tional themes, often with
modern materials.

should not be

That song was first

The name Monroney

actual price of a new
vehicle.
The fact was, existing
price tags did not tell the
full story. Most customer-
quoted prices were for
"stripped-down" models
and did not include
additions for preparation
charges, freight charges,
federal, state, and local
taxes or optional factory-
installed equipment
requested by the purchas-
er.
These hidden charges
were used.by some
dealers to increase the
selling price while giving
the new vehicle buyer an
inflated idea of their
trade-in allowance. This
price confusion led to a
slump in auto sales
during the early 1950s.
Sen. Monroney's bill
was designed to prevent
the abuse of the new
vehicle list prices, but
would not prevent dealers
and buyers from bargain-
ing over vehicle prices.
Well, as you might
expect, car dealers have
figured out a way to evade
this very good law. An
alarmingly large number
of Florida dealers use a
label that is designed to
look almost identical to
the official Monroney
label. It has the same

and layout. This "phony
Monroney" is affixed right
next to the genuine .
article. Unless you really
look close and read all of
the fine print, you will
have no idea that you are
looking at a counterfeit
Monroney label.
This phony Monroney
includes extra charges to
artificially inflate the
manufacturer's suggested
list price.
One of the most egre-
gious of these charges is
an addition of pure
markup just for profit,
which has a variety of
names. Some of these are
"market adjustment,"
"additional dealer
markup," "adjusted
market value," "ADM,"
"market adjustment


addendum" and "market
value adjustment."
This is simply an
amount that the dealer
adds to the manufactur-
er's suggested retail price.
It is virtually always used
in high-demand, low
supply cars. I have seen
these labels with charges
as much as $10,000 added
to the MSRP. Additions of
$1,500 to $3,995 are
common.
Dealers also use the
counterfeit labels to price
dealer-installed acces-
sories, which are OK, so
long as the accessories
are not marked up higher
than the manufacturer
marks them up.
When customers
confuse the phony
Monroney with the real
one, it distorts their point
of reference for compar-
ing prices between
different dealerships.
One manufacturer's
Monroney labels are
consistent. A 2007 Honda
Accord with the same
factory accessories will
have the same MSRP at
every Honda dealership
you visit. But if dealers
fool you into thinking
their label is part of the
Monroney, you are not
comparing "apples with
apples."
This can adversely

affect a good buying
decision in a number of
ways.
Some buyers focus
mainly on how big a
trade-in allowance they
can get for their old car. If
one dealer has the same
car marked up $3,000
more than another dealer,
he can offer you $3,000
more for your trade and
still make the same profit
as the other dealer. Some
buyers focus on how big a
discount they get from
"sticker." It's easy to give a
higher discount if you
have artificially inflated
the MSRP by thousands of
dollars.
My advice is to carefully
inspect the sticker on the
new car you are contem-
plate buying. Read it
completely and especially
the fine print. If there is a
second label on the car, it
is possible that it is fair.
This would be for purpos-
es of adding an item,
installed by the dealer,
such as floor mats or
stripes, priced the same
as the manufacturer
charges. If that second
label includes a markup
over MSRP for no reason
other than profit for the
dealer, make sure you
adjust for that number in
your comparisons for
discounts and trade-in
allowance.
Some dealers also add a
second markup to these
labels and that is the
infamous "dealer fee" also
sometimes called "doc
fee" and "dealer prep."
Some dealers do not
put this on the phony
Mroroney but print it on
their buyer's orders and
program it into their
computers.

Volunteers
From page Al1
who plays one of the charac-
ters in "Noises Off," said Mr.
Gardner played a big part in
convincing him to continue
with theatre in college.
"Mr. Gardner has been at
South Fork forever. We
wouldn't be able to do half
the stuff we do without him.
He's great to have around,"
Woody said.
The other priceless volun-
teer, Mrs. Yandow, was a child
talent agent for 20 years.
Some of her clients included
Linda Blair, Patrick Dempsey,
Emanuel Lewis and most of
the cast of "Annie."
"Mrs. Yandow does cos-
tumes and props for me, and
much more," Ms. Schwarz
said.
Mrs. Yandow said she vol-
uinteered at the drama
department after her hus-
band passed away.
"The first thing I ever did
for Ms. Schwarz was cut a
piece of material up. She told
me to make it nice and neat.
Up to that point in my life I
never sewed. That was more
than four years ago. Now, I
sew costumes, help with
makeup, help with props,
and even help with the audi-
tions," Mrs. Yandow said.
"Nobody would ever guess
these two were in their 80's.
They are a treasure to me.
They love my students and
my students adore them,"
Ms. Schwarz said.
"Both Mr. Gardner and I are
lucky to have this opportuni-
ty to volunteer. Most people
my age don't have relation-
ships with kids this age. It's
fun," Mrs. Yandow added.
The handy work of Mr.
Gardner and Mrs. Yandow
can be seen at the play "Nois-
es Off," Friday, Feb.16 and
Saturday, Feb. 17, both at 7:30
p.m, with a matinee Satur-
day, Feb.17 at 2 p.m.
Performances are held at
the South Fork High School
auditorium.

Dentists, remember the patients

Having recently moved from up north, I had a big
reality check with dental emergencies here,
I'm shocked to find that dentists here work only
Monday through Thursday, so what happens if you have
a problem on Friday?
You have to suffer for three days. What happens to
people if the only time they have off is the weekend, they
need to take a day off in order to see their dentist?
In New York, the dentists worked Monday through
Friday, and worked rotating Saturdays to accommodate
patients.
I can't believe veterinarians are open on Saturday, but
dental offices are closed.
The lack of caring for patients, and the lack of flexibili-
ty in schedules, might explain why so many people are
walking around toothless in Martin and St. Lucie Coun-
ty:What would happen if the doctors decided to take the
same attitude?
With dental prices so high, you would think a little
customer service would come with that price.

Get rid of the contractors and put nature back

I am a 42-year-old woman who just bought a place for
the first time in my life and am now a Martin County
homeowner.
I just read the rant "A vote for nature."
The ranter states they are "saddened to see the
destruction that construction has created. Enjoy what
nature MC?! The wildlife is being sucked from the very
nature."
It was about construction in Martin County and how
bad it is to the wildlife.
Then two pages later, your newspaper gives a list of
things that were stolen from a construction site under
the Roosevelt Bridge and how the contractor lost all of
his equipment and a number to call in with any infor-
mation.
Well, I, as one of the "little people" in Martin County,
am happy to see that those things were stolen. Why
.would anybody call in? It's obvious "little people' in
Martin County can do nothing to change the fact that
construction is going up everywhere.
I have been here for 10 years and I see that we now
have plenty of traffic lights, traffic, shopping strips and
housing developments, and I'm not in favor of any of it.
I'm sure residents are completely thrilled that those
things were stolen. I:know I am. Maybe the construction
companies will leave town now and the little people that,
can't do anything about this aweful situation, where
there's no nature left, will be clapping their hands and.
booting those contractors out of town.
This thievery is the best thing that could've happened.
Maybe, if we're all lucky the thief will continue his
:','rampage and there will be no more contractors and strip
malls put up,
I'm tired of it all. I say "thank you" to the robber and
carry on. Let's get rid of these contractors and put nature
and preserves back in Hobe Sound and everywhere it,
belongs.

Palm City gun range hours,

Why do they allow the gun range off State Road 714 to
be open 7 days a week, every single day of the year, from
sun up till sundown?
Are they not aware that
People, who live in the Stuart West development, have to
listen to this constant rapid gunfire?
Put this noise inside a building, or better yet, move it
farther out west of Palm City!

The police never cease to amaze
It never ceases to amaze me about the police in this
little Stuart area .. :
We don't have enough to arrest a cop'who was d r i\ving
drunk at Christmas, but now you have six cop cars
sitting at the bottom of the Roosevelt Bridge giving
people tickets as they get over the bridge.

Who pays for 'free' healthcare

In the Feb. 2 issue of rants and raves, a writer replied to
a previous post about free health care for children by
expressing an opinion that there should be free health
care for everyone.
The justification was that it has worked so well, and
care was so much better in other countries, such as
England, as witnessed by unnamed and undocumented
studies. The person also suggested a "fair tax" to pay for
it.
Here is my suggestion to them. Wait until your neigh-
bor has arrived home from a hard day at work. A good
day would be April 15, or the day they have received
their latest property tax bill.
Go ring their doorbell. When they answer, stick your
open hand in their face and demand that they give you
money to pay for your health care.
While you are there, you may as well demand money
for a park, the environment, open space, etc, etc.
After they have slammed the door in your face, go back
home and write a letter to the newspaper, your state
representative, and anyone else about how greedy and
selfish those people are, and that you demand they stick
the gun of government in their face and take the money.
Then, if that doesn't work, pack your bags and sell your
home, which the government rents to you just like
"England, and move to England.
Viola! Your problems are solved.
Hellloooo, the founding fathers of America left England
because they were tired working, and being serfs to a
feudal king.
A feudal state is no better. Take enough of a person's
paycheck to pay for social nirvana and they will have no
incentive to work. Elect politicians to do this, and the
rest of us who pull your cart will not pull it anymore.

Pre-prepare for tornados

Weren't we lucky that we didn't get any tornados.
I have made a lot of preparations and yet I was running
around scared, getting things together that I should've
gotten together before.
I think its time we all think about being prepared.
We should have water on hand. Empty those bottles
and fill them up with fresh water. Be sure you have food
items and legible addresses of your contacts under your
phone or on your refrigerator.
Have a grab-and-go bag. Be sure to get rid of old things
in them, such as phone bills from 1980. Have it sim-
mered down to a few things and where you can get it
quickly.
Be sure you know where extra keys and glasses are.
You might even get a new address book for 2007, in
case there are things in there you would like to update
and change.
Also, know where your "safe-space" is so you know
where to go.
These are very important things to think about. I called
s 'iome neighbors to warn them and they were happy I did
because they didn't have their televisions on. There are
people that may not know that we can help as well.


Florida driving humor

To the person who was concerned about Florida
drivers, perhaps he or she was unfamiliar with local
styles. Here are some driving tips:
Wait for ten to 15 seconds after the traffic light turns
green. This will be enough time to cause some anxiety -
and concern from the drivers who are following you.
Never use the turn signal until you are actually turning.
Don't let the drivers behind you know what you intend to
do.
When turning left from a turning lane, never drive
parallel to the lines always leave a good portion of the
rear of the car sticking out to partially block passing
traffic.
Occasionally make a left turn from the right lane
and/or make a right turn from the left lane, this will help
to keep other drivers on the alert.
Do all of this while using a cell phone. And if you don't
have phone, hold one hand to the ear and pretend.
I hope this helps.

Do you want to be a city manager?

How to get hired as a city manager at a larger munici-
pality, and keep your job:
Apply for the position, and hope that the first choice
doesn't accept.
Get fired from your job as city manager in a smaller
city.
Don't properly count the ditches, and overpay the
contractor. : .
Bid jobs and accept the lowest bid from a contractor
with a bad reputation.
Allow staff to be rude to councilpersons.
Be a smooth talker, maybe your contract will get
renewed and you'll get a raise.
The American dream, "nightmare." ,

Snowbird complainers

In response to "Pray the snowbirds don't go west,"
enough already!
If you can afford to spend $25,000 each year when
down here, please shut up! I
I personally do not believe you spend that much down
here. I have a feeling you are one of those cheaposs" I see
leaving no tip for the waitress. As for snowbirds not
having any school age children, neither do I.
I moved down here from Illinois to get away from the
cold and be near our daughter. Actually we could not
afford to retire up north. We moved here in 1997 before
the housing boom.
I would like to have seen.much slower growth. I also
would have liked to have seen a better class of people
moving in. I also wish I did not have to experience
(hurricanes) Frances, Jeanie and Wilma. Were you here
for them? I didn't think so. I also wish the gridlock during
"the season" would go away.Your ignorance on the road
is something to behold.

FAREWELL TO THE QUEEN

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Miss Martin Colunty 2006 D'Anna Stracuzzi hugs her mother, Genie, prior to the pageant to decide her successor at
the Martin County Fair Friday, Feb. 9. Martin County High School's Elissa Nadaskay, 16, was chosen of the 35 girls
competing.


Center
From page Al
Until now, students had to
drive to the IRCC main cam-
pus in Fort Pierce to pur-
chase their books.
Patricia L. Winterburn,
provost of the Martin County
campus, said during the cer-
emony, "Today highlights
the expansion efforts with
the celebration of a signifi-
cant step forward. This cen-
ter supports Chastain's
growth and stature as a full-
service campus. It's so grati-
fying to see the positive
impact this college has had
on the community."
Edwin R. Massey, president
of IRCC, spoke during the
dedication ceremony of the
contributions of the new
center's benefactors.
"These people are two of
the kindest, most caring and
unselfish people that we
have had the opportunity to
work with, and we are so
happy that we can come
together and say thank you
to Andy and Fran Morgade.
They do so much for our
community, and we are just
thankful that they are
friends of this college," said
Mr. Massey.
Speaking on behalf of the
student body was Kelly
McLaughlin, a 2006 gradu-


Rants & Raves
From page A6


This is in response to the person who believes that
everyone should receive "free" health care.
First of all, socialized health care will never be "free." It
will be expensive, and we will all pay for it in one way or
another, just like they must in Canada.
There they finance what can charitably be called a slow
and mediocre system with high income tax rates, a
federal sales tax, and high fees for driver's licenses and
vehicle tags.
The ranter also stated that people in England are "much
healthier than we are."
If in fact this were true, the cause would more likely be a
difference in life styles, rather than any advantage of their
health care system.
In addition, one necessary ingredient that makes
universal health care even remotely feasible is govern-
ment control of medical and drug expenses.


All countries with socialized health care, and many
without it, keep strict controls on drug and medical costs.
Any presidential candidate who had the courage to
propose such vital controls would certainly have my vote.

Don't forget to tip

I'm a seasonal senior who very much appreciates
servers and commend all those who wok hard in whatev-
er field.
I live in an adult community and there are some rude
and selfish residents here, but the kind, thoughtful,
generous ones, far out weigh the former category. What
percentage, exactly, are your contributors speaking
about?
I'd like to make a couple of points:
We had a friend working in a rural diner in another state
and she told us that most people never tipped at all!


Perhaps this is a regional practice and Rants and Raves
can educate the offenders.
Let's pretend no senior even dined out again in Florida.
How many restaurants would there be in our area? How
many server jobs? How much would you make in tips?
We don't eat in upscale restaurants but I would think
that if poor tipping was a problem, you might want to
approach management and see if they are willing to add a
fixed percentage gratuity to the bill. Surely they care
about you even if your customers don't. Maybe it's a small
consolation but you are no doubt bringing in more at the
end of the day than your counterpart in a less expensive
restaurant.
For all those in school, and thus in transition, I hope you
remember how important generous tips are as you move
on in life.
I worked as a housekeeper at a resort while in college
and have a special place in my heart for that group.

on the convenience of all the

Then, addressing Mr. and
Mrs. Morgade, Ms.
McLaughlin said, "I most of

so much for our bookstore

Mr. and Mrs. Morgade,
who had not seen the reno-

in the tour.
"It is so much more than

which the youth stole or
the other student that was
beaten in a school fight,
must also agree to the
program.
The delinquency diver-
sion panel takes place in all
four counties in the 19th
Judicial Circuit.
The panel consists of a
group of two or three adult
volunteers who meet with
the teen and at least one
parent or legal guardian.
The panel reviews the
police report of the inci-
dent and the teen explains
to the panel the circum-
stances surrounding the
offense, after which the
panel confers and imposes
sanctions on the teen.
"At these hearings, the
parents have the opportu-
nity to let us know how well
their child is doing at home
and at school," said Mrs.
Romelien.
"So if a child is not getting
good grades, the panel may
require that the grades be
improvedctas part of the
sanctions. The panel can
also impose a curfew,
require chores at home,
recommend counseling or
even a part-time job," said
Mrs. Romelien.
The panel is trained to
listen for things that might
be unrelated to the offense,
but which might help
explain the teen's behavior,
such as problems in the
teen's home life.
"We try to determine if
there is an underlying
cause for the offense, and
address that," said Mrs.
Romelien.
The second alternative of
the program is teen court,
which takes place in a real
courtroom that was built in
St. Lucie West Centennial
High School.
Throughout the school
year, teachers from four St
Lucie County high schools
teach law classes that
culminate in their students'
participation in teen court
at Centennial.
Mrs. Romelien is in the
process of setting up
similar programs in Martin,
Okeechobee and Indian
River counties.
In teen court, the stu-
dents play the parts of
defense attorney, prosecu-
tor, jury members and
baliffs.
The judge is a guest
invited by the teen court
program to preside over the
trial. In the past, Bruce
Colton, state attorney;
Diamond Litty, public
defender, and William
Roby, chief judge of the
19th Judicial Circuit have
sat as guest judges. -
The defendant, however,
is a teen who has commit-
ted a real offense.
Because the teen must
admit guilt to the crime,
the trial's purpose is for the
jury to impose appropriate
sanctions.
Six weeks after the
delinquency diversion
panel or the teen court
ends, the youth and the
parents return for a final
hearing, to confirm that all
Sanctions have been met.
If that occurs, the case is
Referred back to the State
Attorney's office as a
successful completion, and
the charges against the
youth are dropped.
If the teen does not meet
even one of the sanctions,
the case is referred back to
the State Attorney's Office
as unsuccessful, and the
youth then enters the
juvenile justice system.
There are no second
chances.

Hometown News to produce


Red Cross hurricane guide


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

STUART The Martin
County Chapter of the
American Red Cross has
announced that Home-
town News will produce
the official "Red Cross
Hurricane Preparedness
Guide" to assist area
residents and'businesses
to prepare for, survive and
recover from potential
disaster in the upcoming
hurricane 2007 season.
"The official American
Red Cross Hurricane
Preparedness Guide,' will
be a comprehensive,
multi-county guide to
preparing for and surviv-
ing the upcoming hurri-
cane season," said Mary
Sawyer, executive director,
for the Martin County
chapter.
The guide will be a first
in that it will encompass
hurricane preparedness
information from five
American Red Cross
chapters serving 15 Florida
counties.
"This is a major collabo-
ration between the Ameri-
can Red Cross and Home-


Teen
From page A8
sharp."
The teen court program
has been so successful it
has provided the ground-
work for many careers in
law enforcement and the
judicial system.
"I get letters and e-mails
all the time from former
students," sid Mr.
Leonard.
"This year, I was asked for
a recommendation from a
student for the bar associa-
tion," he said. "Quite a few
of them go into the legal
field, work for the Sheriffs
Office or the police depart-
ment. The program made
them think and gave them
a goal to shoot for."
One student who would
agree is Natalie Howell, a
17-year-old senior at
Centennial, who has been a
student in Mr. Leonard's
classes for three years.
"It showed me I really do
want to be an attorney,"
said Natalie. "If I hadn't
done teen court, I wouldn't
have a clue as to how a real
trial works."
As important as that,
however, is the real pur-
pose of the teen court to
keep youths out of the
juvenile justice system and
give them a second chance.
"I think it helps the
defendant a lot, because
everyone can make one
mistake," said Natalie,
adding, "It shows them
what can happen next
time, if they get in trouble
again. They even get tours
of the jail. And if they do it
again, they won't get a
second chance."
Marc Traum, administra-
tive services manager for
the 19th Judicial Circuit,
sees the program as an
educational tool that will
help put teens back on the
right track.
"What I like about the
program is that although
kids come here because
they've done something
wrong, they have the
opportunity to really learn
something about their
behavior, and what it was
inappropriate," said Mr.
Traum.

chapters to coordinate
publishing potentially life-
saving information into on
concise guide," he said.
The official guide will be
distributed in all 19
Hometown News editions,
stretching from Palm
Beach to Volusia counties.
"Hometown News is truly
the only newspaper in the

local news. We have a
commitment to serving
our many communities
that is reflected in this
publication," Mr. Erlanger
said. "Hometown News is
very proud to be associat-

communities we serve. The
official 'Red Cross Hurri-
cane Preparedness Guide'
can and will help save lives
should we have a devastat-
ing hurricane this year."

STONE EXPO, A GALLERY OF EXTRAORDINARY NATURAL STONE


The first time I walked into
Stone Expo in Jensen Beach, I
immediately realized that this store
was like none I'd ever seen.
Museum quality mosaic artwork
adorned the walls and the floors
were covered with extraordinary
natural stone tiles in different col-
ors and patterns. I was greeted and
welcomed into the showroom in a
way that reminisced of being given
a tour of a gallery. If I weren't
impressed already, once I started
speaking with owner Gregg
Bozenbury, I was truly in awe.
Stone Expo is a flooring store,
specializing in antiqued marble,
granite, and travertine, with a full
line of decorative mosaics and
accent pieces. But what makes this
store so unique is the fact that they
make everything that they display.
A talented group of stone artisans
create the beautiful mosaic work
and skilled and experienced stone
masons cut, shape and finish the
breathtaking flooring. They are not
just a reseller of ordinary flooring,
they are truly creators of the most
striking natural stone work I've
ever seen.


This idea started in 1995 when
Gregg was supplying and handling
the installation of travertine at a
home on Sailfish Point. The deco-
rator on the job asked about cer-
tain stone products that were not
currently available. She said that
she was tired of the same product
line currently being offered and
needed something new and inno-
vative to offer her clients. The
trend was moving towards tum-
bled and antiqued stone flooring
for a more comfortable and warm
feeling. At the time
"antiqued"stone was available
Qnly up to a certain size, but at the
same time the style was drifting
towards larger tiles for larger
homes. Gregg wanted to create a
line that fulfilled both size and fin-
ish requirements. Memories of a
tour he did in Europe while in the
military brought back visions of
cobblestone streets and sidewalks
made out of solid stone slabs.
While there he always appreciated
the beauty of the architecture and
the history that the stone work
echoed. Gregg spent the next sev-
eral months back over in Europe
studying the ancient stone work
and what would be required to
recreate it. What he saw spurred
his imagination, and soon a revo-
lution in the stone industry was
underway. Because this type of
product was not available at the
time, neither was the equipment
that would be needed to create it.
Machinery, originally made for
other purposes was brought back
to the United States and an 18,000
square foot facility in Okeechobee,
Florida was purchased to house it.
Gregg, previously a jet engine
mechanic in the military, had
extensive mechanical knowledge
and was able to foresee the capa-
bilities of this equipment. He per-
sonally worked on the machines
and retrofitted them to perform
new functions. In the end, the
combination of revolutionary new
equipment, his skill in masonry,
and his innovative thinking, creat-
ed a stone product line that would
capture the attention of the world
and spur the imagination of deco-


rators, designers, and homeown-
ers alike. Stone Expo was born.
The tile line is warm, yet simul-
taneously elegant, and equally
suited for a rustic mountain cabin
or an ocean front mansion. It
could portray the "old world" feel-
ing, but also take on a modern and
more eclectic tone. The versatility of
the flooring is one of the unique
features Stone Expo has to offer
"The same marble can be finished
in different ways to appeal to dif-
ferent styles," Gregg states, "Because
we make everything ourselves, we
have the capability to make it
exactly how the customer wants it...
shiny, matte, or somewhere in
between. It can also be tumbled,
hand chiseled or rectified we con-
trol the end product, not the
importers or other resellers".
Another distinctive quality Stone
Expo offers is the ability to shape
the stone into shapes and sizes not
available in the mainstream indus-
try. Octagons, hexagons, rectan-
gles and even radius pieces are
available to create the one of a
kind floor that you can't get any-
where else.
Displayed throughout the show-
room, this decorative mosaic line
rivals the ancient mosaics of
Pompeii. Each piece is custom
designed and created by talented
artists. "We have recreated a 200
foot mosaic from Portofino, Italy
for Universal Studios in Orlando,
Florida, and we have created a 3'
replication of a customers parrot,
each commission is as important
and given the same amount of
attention to detail." Stone Expos
mosaic line includes floor medal-
lions, borders, art pieces for niches
and walls, and even pools. Their
mosaic pieces can be seen at
Universal Studios, Disney's Animal
Kingdom, in local restaurants and
in hotels around the world, as well
as in some of the finest homes on
the Treasure Coast. So breathtak-
ing is their work that it captured
the attention of the Guggenheim
family of the world renowned
Guggenheim museums. Mr. And
Mrs. Guggenheim, along with son
Daniel personally traveled from
their home in Switzerland to tour
the facility and take a first hand
look at the artists at work. If you
are looking to add a note of dis-
'tinction to your home, either on a
small scale with a border or a focal
point on a backsplash, or you want
to make a larger statement such as
entire mosaic floor, Stone-Expos
team of mosaicists are truly
extraordinary.


Stone Expo has also created an
extraordinary granite finish.
Suggestive of time and weather
worn stone from millions of years
ago, the granite is lightly textured,
yet polished smooth at the same
time. And if your worried about
durability, look no further Gregg
demonstrated in a most eye open-
ing way the strength and resilience
of this distressed finish. When you
visit the showroom, make it a point
to see this demonstration yourself.
This finish can be applied to gran-
ite slabs for countertops, or to tiles
for flooring and wall applications.
It can also be done to marble and
travertine slabs as well. With the
trend moving from the high gloss
look of countertops to a warmer
style, this product is being very
well received. 1


If all that isn't enough, Stone
Expo also makes a complete line of
decorative stone accent pieces.
Moldings are hand carved with
beautiful profiles, baseboards are
fabricated to finish off a room in
style, and windowsills can be made
out of the same material to pull
your room all together. Fireplaces,
niches, staircases, and even pool
decks can all be designed, fabricat-
ed and installed with pioneering
products and creative designs that
you have not seen anywhere else.
Now, with all these choices the
homeowner may feel over-
whelmed. You know you want
something different that portrays
your personality, but you don't
know what that is. Don't worry!
Stone Expo has that covered too. A
hardscape designer is available to
work with you either on one room
or an entire 15,000 square foot
home. After an initial meeting
where information is gathered
regarding your architectural taste
and style, your color palette pref-
erences and your budget, you will
be presented with a plan which
will truly amaze you. tonee Expo
will tie together all the elements
that will make your house the
home you've always dreamed of. A
"to scale" rendering of your area
will give you a glimpse of the
potential your home has to offer.
"This is floor art" says Kevin
Marshall, a former customer of
Stone Expo. "I gave them a blue-
print of the house .1 was building
and they gave back to me the most
beautiful visualization of what
they could do to it. I had originally
planned on installing a rectified
porcelain tile throughout, but after
I saw what they came up with I
stepped back and reconsidered,
and I'm thrilled that I did. Every
person that visits my home makes
a comment on the flooring and the
little touches that-make it one of a
kind."


I had the opportunity to visit the
Marshall residence in Manatee
Creek, Stuart, a waterfront, Key
West style home. Upon entering, I
didn't know where to look first. The
entryway mosaic with a combina-
tion of palm trees and pineapples
immediately portrayed a tropical
feel. The guest bath was adorned
floor to ceiling with tropical fish,
the archways were covered with
"briquettes", which was an ele-
ment I saw repeated in other areas
as well. The dining room Was bor-
dered with a beautiful mosaic bor-
der created specifically for that
room and inlaid with a subtle
checkerboard of light and medium
toned travertine. Then I entered
the master bath. The entire floor
was a custom made mosaic with
palm fronds gently encircling the
tub area.
The next home on my personal
tour was owned by Jack and
Debbie Mitchell, located in the
PGA area of St. Lucie West. I
thought I had seen everything, but
I was wrong. The style of the
Marshall home is in great contrast
to the Mitchell residence.


This home portrayed a
Mediterranean style combined
with classic elegance. "When we
went into Stone Expo for the first
time we were merely looking for an
accent mosaic for the bathroom.
Mr. Mitchell told me. "We had
already signed a contract to have a
honed and filled travertine
installed in fat mud so we weren't
shopping for flooring. After being
educated in the differences in the
product I had previously settled
on, I gave Stone Expo a blueprint
of my home and asked them to
come up with some ideas and a
price." When they came back with
the final result, I was shocked to see
that they were in line with the pre-
viously quoted flooring, but could
offer so much more," he continued.
The smallest details were consid-
ered when completing this project,
the use of a slate border in the bil-
liard room, the subtle Asian influ-
ence in the dining room mosaic
dots to work with an antique ori-
ental table, even an almost naked
to the eye Monogram of the letter
"M" on the keystone over the fire-
place. Again, the master bathroom
astounded me. Delicate vines and
acanthus leaves covered the entire
floor. Stone profiles bordered the
niches and acted as a crown mold-
ing against the ceiling and stone
baseboards completed the look.
"This room is my favorite in the
whole house,"says Debbie
Mitchell, "When I'm in here I feel
like I've been transported to the
most exclusive private spa in the
world." The kitchen boasted a gor-
geous natural stone backsplash
that complemented the choice of
granite, and also tied together the
summer kitchen elements. The
office floor was a strong gold col-
ored travertine that set the dark
natural woods off perfectly. The
house was truly amazing.


After hearing all that Stone Expo
can offer, you'll be surprised to
hear that the pricing is not much
different than a quality porcelain
tile, but the value is far surpassed.
The fact is you can get a natural
stone floor for almost the same
cost of quality ceramic or porce-
lain products trying to duplicate
the look of stone. And what you get
is so much more. When I left Stone
Expo I felt truly educated on the
choices available to me and the
pros and cons of each. I had
knowledge of the entire process,
from conception to completion,
with installation that would be
handled by a team of professionals
that strive for excellence in their
work.
If you are looking to build or
remodel a house, consider a visit
to Stone Expo in Jensen Beach at
the Home Depot shopping center
and meet Gregg and the other
members of the Stone Expo family.
I guarantee you'll walk out know-
ing everything you need to know
and you'll be glad you did!

few minutes fro you to write
up a list of all your bank
accounts and investments.
And you don't have to go
into great detail, either- just
include the type of account
and where it's currently
held. Make sure you share
this list with a family
member.
*Inform all banks and
brokers when you move or
change names. Notify your
bank, broker, 401(k) admin-
istrator, insurance company
and any other financial
service agency you work.
with when you move or if
you change your name due
to marriage or divorce.
*Cash checks promptly.
Whenever you receive stock
dividends or distributions
from a retirement plan, cash
the checks promptly. The
longer you leave these
checks lying around, the


greater the likelihood that
you'll forget about them. Of
course, in the case of
dividends, if you don't need
the income, you are proba-
bly better off by automati-
cally reinvesting them, as
this builds the number of
shares you own, but if you're
going to accept checks, take
care of them right away.
*Don't give up. Even if you
do lose track of investments
or bank accounts, it doesn't
mean they are gone forever.
Try to "retrace you steps"
back to where you think you
might have held accounts.
Most financial services
providers will do what they
can do to help you. As an
alternative, you might want
to visit the Web site of the
National Association of
Unclaimed Property
Administrators,
www.unclaimed.org. There
are no guarantees, but this
organization can at least
help get you started in the
-process of finding your
missing assets.

Consolidate your
accounts
Apart from the suggestions
listed above, there's one
more step you can take that
can potentially help you
keep close tabs on your
financial assets. Specifically,

Local inventors help stop


spread of diseases


BY ROBIN RINKE
Staff writer


STUART The recent
international alarm
caused by the bird flu has
led two local residents to
create a product that helps
stop the spread of com-
municable diseases.
"To be honest, the bird
flu scare a year ago really
triggered some paranoia in
me," said Kimberly Craig,
president of Clean Hands
Paper Products.
Mrs. Craig began think-
ing about hand-to-hand
contact diseases that
could be transferred. She
also began using sanitized
wipes to clean the cart
handle at the grocery
store, but knew the wipes
oily killed limited strains
of bacteria.
She did not like the
chemical residue on her
hands and felt like she was
performing janitorial
services for the store.
"Communicable diseases
are passed along so easily.
I began to think about
grocery cart handles and


how many people touch
them, and how many
babies put their mouths
on them. I wanted an
invention for a total
protection from exposure
to communicable dis-
eases," Mrs. Craig said.
She then got the idea of
developing a clean,
disposable, paper handle
cover.
"I called a friend with a
background in new
product development and
told him my idea of
grocery cart handle covers.
The rest is history," Mrs.
Craig said.
Chief executive officer
and co-inventor James
Thompson thought the
paper handle cover with a
peel-and-stick strip was an
"exciting invention and
timely."
The company, Clean
Hands Paper Products,
started October of 2005
with the filing of its first
patent. A second patent
followed in October 2006.
The company then
launched an exclusive area

From page A12
you might want to consider
consolidating as many of
your accounts as possible at
one financial service
institution. A full-service
company can offer you
access to investments,
banking services, mort-
gages, credit cards, virtually
any financial vehicle you
might need. With all
account and tax statements
coming from eh same place,
you should find it relatively
easy to keep track of your
your holdings.
Furthermore, by consoli-
dating your assets at a
single financial institution
and working with a single
financial professional who
knows your needs and
goals, you may actually end
up improving your overall
financial strategy. Why?
Because, ifyou maintain
several accounts without a
central focus or unifying
philosophy, you could end
up with redundant or
inappropriate investments:
a costly mistake. At the
same time, you could end
up paying more than what
you need for a variety of
services spread out among
several providers.
So, keep track of your
investments, stay organized
and consider consolidating
your accounts. You work too
hard to build your financial
assets to let them slip away.
For more information or a
free, no-obligation portfolio
review, call Edward Jones

SHUDDER
TO THINK
If it feels like your engine is
jumping around underneath the
hood, the shuddering may be
due to worn engine mounts.
Marks on the radiator are one
indication that this might be the
problem. In vehicles in which
the engine faces forward with
the cooling fan being driven by
a belt, these marks are a likely
indication that worn mounts
are allowing the engine to lurch
forward in the engine compart-
ment. Unlike the old days,
when engine mounts were
composed of simple slabs of
rubber, today's mounts are pre-
cisely engineered into specific
shapes. Some may be filled
with silicone fluid while others
may be electronically con-
trolled. The new mounts may
be more expensive to replace,
but replaced they must be.
Engine mounts allow your vehi-
cle to perform as intended; in
fact your vehicle wouldn't work
at all without them. At ADVAN-
TAGE FORD OF STUART, our
technicians have the expertise
to repair and replace your
engine mounts. At the first sign
of failing engine mounts, bring
your car to 4000 S.E. Federal
Highway, so you can avoid
problems caused by faulty
mounts. Make an appointment
by calling 772.781.6540 today.
We have Saturday appoint-
ments from 7:30-3:30 as well
as Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m.
HINT: By the time most vehi-
cles reach the 70,000-mile
mark or so, their engine
mounts may be twisted out of
shape or cracked due to vibra-
tion and high engine-compart-
ment temperatures.

Stephen Dutcher, president of.Dutcher-Higginboth-
am and Bass Realtors, located in Sewall's Point, is one
such company that has placed their order of shop-
ping cart handle wrappers.
"We look forward to advertising with Clean Hands
Paper Products while serving the public," said Mr.
Dutcher.
Applying the clean paper handle cover is easy. A
sticky strip adheres along one side and holds the
cover tight around the handle. The paper handle
cover is thrown away after use.
The Stuart inventors said Clean Hands has been
given national attention and they are proud that it
happened right here in Martin County.

'the colon

cancer fight

S ome years ago, Katie
Couric raised aware-
ness about colon
cancer and early detection
by televising her
colonoscopy. You'll be
happy to know that I have
no such plans.
However, a recent
screening colonoscopy
and the death of a dear
friend from colon cancer
have reminded me that
this is a disease that truly
:can be prevented and
diagnosed early, can be
treated successfully.
The preparation is
-unpleasant, but it is two
-days out of your life; two
:days to prevent an illness
:that kills thousands of
.people every year. It's hard
:to see why so many
:people resist having the
-screenings done. Perhaps
I can help change your
mind.
The American Cancer
Society reports that other
than skin cancer, colorec-
tal cancer is the third most
common cancer found in
men and women in this
country. The Society .
estimates that there will
be almost 150,000 new
cases of colon and rectal
cancers diagnosed that
will take nearly 60,000
lives in 2006. The good
news is that the death rate
has been declining
because of screening that
results in the removal of
polyps, or growths, that
bnay turn cancerous, and
because patients whose
cancers are detected early
-have a better chance or
surviving.
Early colon cancer
;:usually has no symptoms'
:,therefore, it's important to
follow screening guide-
lines, even if you have no
symptoms so that the
cancer can be detected
early, when it can be
: treated successfully.

Hello smart shoppers. I
hope you had a good
week.
I am available for talks from
Vero to Hobe Sound. Call the
paper and leave me a message:
(772) 465-5656
Today's column will give you
information you probably
never thought about, but once
you know you'll feel much
smarter than the average bear!
While we were enjoying my
pecan pie at Christmas, my son
said, "This is made with corn
syrup. You know corn syrup is
very bad for you?"
When I informed him that
high fructose corn syrup is bad
he asked what the difference
was.
After much research, I
learned about many things,
from corn syrup to raisins. To
me, knowledge is power and
knowing unusual facts about
foods we take for granted is
important.
I've used corn syrup on
occasions that a recipe called
for it, and looked at it as
another form of sugar. Why
didn't the word "corn" set off a
red flag? Probably because
most of the time, we're so busy
just doing, we simply don't pay
attention.
Corn syrup is made from
cornstarch and three different
enzymes that convert corn-
starch into corn syrup. It is
always used along with sugar
since alone, corn syrup isn't
sweet enough. What it does is
retain moisture and keeps food
fresh.
While corn syrup is no better
for you than regular sugar, it is


not harmful to your'
body.
However, in the
1970s, high fructose
corn syrup was
created by adding
several chemicals
to corn syrup to i
make it sweeter S
than sugar. High
fructose corn syrup
is found at this time
in just about
everything you buy,
from sodas to
cereals to packaged
foods and candies. Why is it
used? It's cheaper and main-
tains freshness longer.
.Nutritional scientists believe
high fructose corn syrup is a
contributor to obesity and type
II diabetes. The reason being is
that unlike other sugars, high
fructose corn syrup goes
directly to the liver, releasing
enzymes that instruct the body
to store fat. Remember, in
sweet things, a little should go a
long way. When a product is
labeled low fat, you can bet
they up the sugar or in other
cases, the sodium.
Consume less "junk," and you
just may lose weight and find a
newer healthy you.

Molasses
There are three types of
molasses, and they all come
from sugar cane.
Unsulphered molasses is the
finest quality. It is made from
the juice of sun-ripened cane
and the juice is clarified and
concentrated. Sulphered
molasses is made from green

Aries-March 21-April 19
Your search within daily for wisdom is one of your
greatest strengths. Your continuing search for life's
deeper meaning drives you and is helping you go
deeper in your quest. Soon, new doors will open
and bring even more opportunities to learn and
serve. You are on an expanding spiral adventure
called life. Your health is good. Your mind is clear.
With all this going for you, the universe is about to
bless you back for your good intentions. Get ready.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
There are three strong reasons for your success.


sugar cane that has not
matured enough and is treated
with sulpher fumes. It has a
darker color, is less sweet and
has a stronger flavor.
Black strap molasses is from
the third boil and is usually
used in cattle feed. However, it
is used at times in the health
food industry because of its
high iron content.
Brown sugar is refined
sugar with the addition of
molasses. The darker the
sugar, the more molasses.
Raisins

Last, but definitely not least,
raisins. There are dark raisins
and golden raisins. Common
sense tells us that dark raisins
are from red grapes and golden
raisins from green. Wrong.
Golden raisins are dark raisins
bleached with sulpher dioxide.
The package labels the sulpher
as a preservative but now we
know better. How dare they
charge more for a product that
is less healthy? Now, sulpher in

First, you are not afraid of taking risks and follow-
ing your dreams. The second is your faith in life
itself. The third is that you are always there for
your family, friends and associates when they
need you. The universe continues to renew you
from the inside out. You always strive for balance
and harmony. Strive as well to make your home a
place where peace and love prevail. Your blessings
are almost too numerous to count.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
You live your life with a spirit of love and compas-
sion. When you turn within and listen closely for
wise answers to life's challenges, then trust and
act upon them, you are at your best. The joy in
your heart that comes from sharing with others is
one of your greatest rewards. It comes from a
deep well of gratitude in your soul. You are forgiv-
ing, free in your spirit and continually learning,
growing and changing. You are a very tough act to
follow.

All carbohydrates are not bad for

To Your Health

New research in the 'American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition'
suggests that cola consumption is
associated with reduced bone-
mineral density, especially in
women. Non-cola drinks were not
linked to such problems. Other
studies suggest that too much cola
can leech the calcium from bones.

of your best projects forward. There is a lot more
to life than work, sleep, stress and worry. No one
can hold you back from achieving your greatest
dreams but yourself. The answers are inside you
right now. Go in, bring them out and set them
free. Divine guidance is always there for you when
you are listening. Only you can make it happen.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
You have a wonderful, large heart and a lot of
motivation. You will continue to make it, no mat-
ter what happens. Why? Because you never stop
trying. Life's challenges make you try even more.
When you feel over burdened, make quality time
and do something nice for yourself. This lifts your
spirits, puts joy in your heart and gives new desire
to move forward, renewed and refreshed. Count
your many blessings. Your free spirit and good

ting everyone else first causes
unnecessary frustration
because your dreams aren't
being met. Don't worry about
the small stuff. Keep your
attention focused on the
main things. Now everything

by magic. Now you are
happy. Others are happy for
you and life is moving again.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Facing life's challenges and
confronting them one at a
time is how to keep it in bal-
ance. It's all a matter of the
choices made in the pursuit
of life. When you resist mak-
ing choices, you begin to live
by chance. This is risky. The
universe will continue to
move you whether you want
to or not with this approach.
Take command of your own
life and do one good thing
each day. Stay in the flow.

Soon you will be ready for
more and more adventures.
Life can be so good.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Courage is one of your great-
est assets. The others are loy-
alty, honesty and compas-
sion. You are always there for
your friends. You don't cut
corners. You have a keen
sense of justice. You give 100
percent in everything you do
when your heart is in it. You
have such a strong con-
science. All these qualities
continue to advance you in
the pursuit of your dreams.
Recent successes make you
want even more out of life.
You can have it. Keep your
eye on your goal and vision
and the rewards will continue
to come.

Chain-free, pain-free living


Editors note: This is the
second of a two-part series.
Last week's Spirit
Guide column was
about answering two
of the four most important
questions I heard from my
clients and readers in
January at the South
Florida Fair.
The questions were: how
can I free the chains that
bind me and how can I live
a pain-free life?
Today's column is about
answering the third and
fourth, how can I grow
spiritually and how can I
find lasting happiness?
The first step in growing
spiritually is to learn from
the past. Bless it for what it
taught us, forgive it
instead of judging it,
release it, move on and
grow a new and better life.
This leads to the fourth
question, how can I find
lasting happiness?
We each have a unique
set of thoughts, feelings,
ideas and appetites living
inside us. No two people
are exactly alike. You are
one of a kind in all of
creation. One of the keys
to happiness after we
begin to find our true self
is to associate with others
who are similar or com-
patible with our nature.
If you hang out with
people who are opposites,
it usually leads to war,
trouble or control. Stop
the war, for universal sake.
It only leads to destruc-
tion.
True and lasting happi-
ness is only possible when
we use our natural gifts
and talents and do what
we truly love.
How happy are you? If
you aren't, don't look for
another person to fix you.
It won't happen unless you


JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide
are happy with yourself
first. You don't have to be
stuck, sidetracked, lost or
sucked dry by controlling
people. There is a better
way.
Open up your heart,
listen to your inner
guidance and make wise
choices by doing the
things you truly love.
True and lasting happi-
ness comes when we put
love first rather than hate
or judgment and grudges.
It comes when we want to
live in peace rather than
war. It comes when we
choose to live a healthy,

active lifestyle rather than
let disease rob us of our
life force.
It comes when we find
abundance and do what
we love rather than eke
out a bare existence and
live in poverty. It comes
when we have faith and
trust in the higher power
rather than live a life of
fear, doubt and indecision.
It comes when we live a
joy filled life rather than a
sad one. Go ahead, take
the plunge, go inside and
find the vast treasure
house of riches living in
the vault of your soul. You
can do it. Your true happi-
ness depends on it. You are
an heir to a spiritual
kingdom waiting to yield
its goodness in all its
forms.
Isn't this the way you
truly want to live? You
have everything to gain
and nothing to lose. Why
suffer any longer? Love is
the answer. If you don't
love it, don't do it, no
matter what. If you are

Compute This
you need a computer for?
What are you going to do
with it?
If you are a new com-
puter owner (that is,
you've never owned a
computer before in your
life), there are a few
things that you ought to
know right off the bat,
the kind of things that no
one tells you about when
you were shopping for
your machine, such as
how to do the basic
things people want to do
with their machines such


as sending and receiving
e-mail, typing letters,
"downloading" and going
on the Internet.
You've heard about
these things a thousand
times, but what does it all
really mean?
I know first-hand just
how confusing things can
be when you bring home
your new computer.
There is a lot of excite-
ment as the machine is
plugged in for the first
time. Then, when you
throw the switch and
turn it on, your journey
begins.
You may be brought
through a menu where
you have to fill out some
information about your-
self and you may have to
enter an authorization
code, but before too long
you will make it to the
Windows desktop, where
all the magic happens.
The Windows desktop
is the first place you will
see every time your
machine wakes up and
stabilizes. You can tell
when the machine is fully
awake because the little
hourglass will go away
and the hard drive will
stop "chugging."
You can recognize the
Windows desktop by the
presence of a "start"
button on the lower left
corner of the screen and
the presence of icons,
such as "my computer,"
"my documents," and
"recycle bin."
Take a look around.
Click the "start" button
and a menu will open
that will lead to more
options. Move your
mouse up the menu and
you will see different
program groups expand
as you pass your mouse
over them. This is where
you can find all the
controls that make your
new machine do the
things you need it to do.
Hold your mouse over
the "programs" program
group and you will be
able to see all of the
programs that are already
installed on your
machine.
Programs are like tools
and the "programs
group" is like a giant
toolbox. Each one of the
programs listed in the
programs group is a tool
specifically tailored for a
specific task and, like
most tool boxes, it is OK
to have two or more of
the same kind of pro-
gram.
Glance down the list of
programs and get
acquainted with the tools
in your toolbox. This is
where you will be going
to launch the programs
you will need to be
productive with your
computer.
Some of the programs
you may find are helpful
for typing letters such as

Spice it up with Florida grasses


Most of the
columns I write
usually have to do
with adding color to your
yards by using annuals,
perennials and flowering
bushes. There are many
instances when you could
add accents to corners,
islands and even
flowerbeds with plants
other than flowers.
Ornamental grasses may
be just the ticket you are
looking for. There are
several choices that do
quite well in our area and
they are fairly easy to take
of.
I am going to start with a
fairly common ornamen-
tal grass called pampas
grass (erianthus raven-
nae). This grass is an
excellent choice for an
island with pampas grass
in the center and shorter
flowering shrubs or
annuals surrounding the
grass. This grass also looks
great when planted along
a corner of a structure
with possibly a row of
caladiums or other choice
of flower along the front of
the grass clump.
The appearance of the
grass is that of a graceful
arching fountain. It does
best in a sunny location in
an area that has damp
ground. It does need to be
watered on a regular basis
or it will start to dry out.
These plants will thrive
better in the northern
areas, such as Indian River


County north. It will also
grow south of that, but will
require more watering and
a location with some
shade, particularly in the
afternoon.
One amazing feature of
this grass is that it will
grow in almost any habi-
tat. You can actually plant
it in an area that has hard
rocky soil. It is also a great
specimen to plant in an
area that frequently floods
due to heavy rains or even
from rising water along a
stream or lake. In some of
our colder winters, the
leaves may die back from a
heavy frost, but they will
grow back in early spring.
Another great choice is
redhead fountain grass.
Although smaller in size
than the pampas grass, it
produces an equally
graceful fountain effect.
The plumes of redhead
fountain grass are soft to
the touch. This is quite a
contrast to the sharp edges
of the pampas grass. The
plumes produce color all
year long. You can use
fountain grass in con-
tainers, along borders, in
rock gardens and along
foundations. The color-
ful plumes can be cut
and placed in a vase or
other suitable container
as an indoor accent.
As with most ornamen-
tal grasses, they are not
adversely affected by
most insects or diseases.
If you are looking for an

doing things you don't
love, learn to accept and
love them or don't do
them either. It's your life.
You don't have to be a
slave to the world, others,
old habits or addictions
unless you have given up.
Never give up on life. It is
the most valuable, sacred
gift we ever receive.
Once you have reclaimed
it and are feeling freedom
and lasting happiness, you
have become a master of
life. From the increasing
abundance, take care of
your own and family needs
first. You did most of the
work to get here. Then save
for a safe happy future.
Next, give back to others
searching for their truth.
You are now the light. First,
give to those who inspired
you and helped you on your
journey. This is your
spiritual family. Help keep
them going. Then teach
others who are ready and
want to know how you do
all these magnificent things.
This is living a life of respect,
love, honor and dignity. It is
human nobility at it's finest.
It's called unconditional
love, giving back freely as we
have been blessed. This
keeps the timeless truths
going. This rippling effect is
the hope and promise of the
world today and in the
future. One person can
make a difference. That
person is you. My greatest


desire is that you find all
these things and more
today and for all your future
days to come. The most
wonderful news is that the
best is yet to come.

giant is the plant for you.

known for its graceful

The plants will remain

If brown leaves appear

CHICKEN
CACCIATORE (NIB)
Serves 4
Neopolitan style,
low-fat
Not knowing the mean-
ing of the word cacciatore
and figuring it had to
mean something really
special, I checked my
Italian dictionary. Does it
make any sense to you that


cacciatore means
"hunter?" It can also mean
fighter pilot. Oh well!The
title doesn't make sense,
but the dish is delicious. I
have a hunch that many
years ago, when a hunter
came home with a fowl
this was a method of
cooking he used. The
original recipe, which I
found in a very o1d cook-
book, is so fat-laden it
could cause a coronary.


We can use your old

Experience the magic

of a women-only tour j


The 2007 calendar of
new and exciting
destinations for
women only is now
available.
These tours are designed
for women who are
traditionally caregivers,
who regularly place the
needs of everyone else in
their lives ahead of their
own. It is undeniably
important that women
take the time to nurture
themselves and travel is
the best way to do just
that.
What you can expect
from these tours is an
assortment of locally
hosted and fully escorted
trips that have been
professionally planned
and especially designed
for women. Everything
included on your trip
would cost much more to
do on your own compared
to an all-inclusive land
price.
Stay at quaint inns,
resorts and spas. Tours
feature free time to
explore and shop, special
lectures by local experts,
cooking classes in local
cuisines, walks, garden
tours, antiquing, wine
tasting and theater.
This month's featured
journey is Savannah's style
and Charleston's charm,
both true icons of the
American South.
In Savannah, you'll
board a trolley and pass
live oaks draped with
Spanish moss, beautiful
Victorian homes and
gardens, and city monu-
ments and museums
dating back some 260
years.
Enjoy a stop at the
Wayne Chamber's Gallery,


RONNIE ROBERTSON
Travel columnist
located in Savannah's
historic district, where you
will meet the famous
watercolorist for a recep-
tion.
A special performance at
the famous Savannah
Theater is also included,
followed by a true south-
ern highlight, lunch at The
Lady and Sons Restaurant.
En route to Charleston,
home of the Charleston
dance, stop in Beaufort,
the "queen of the Carolina
sea islands," for a horse-
drawn carriage ride
through town with views
of the beautiful antebel-
lum homes.
Your stay in Charleston
includes several wonder-
ful plantation visits, as
well as time for dining and
shopping, or whatever the
southern ambiance
compels you to do.
Dates for this tour are
March 19, April 6 and Oct.
8.
Time to pack your bags
and get ready for that
much-needed trip!

Behold the 'walkers'


W over claims to
live in him must
walk asJesus did.
1 John 2:6 (NIV)
They are the "walkers."
They are in every neigh-
borhood. They beat the
same path on the same
streets at the same time
every day. You can set your
clock by their faithfulness.
We give them a quick
glance because to give
them more usually brings
up those feeling of things
we ought to be doing.
You can embrace their
call or continue with life as
usual. It'doesn't really
matter to them. They will
still be walking by our
houses tomorrow at the
same time, on the same
path, at the same pace.
I have noticed that there
are some "walkers" who
are not like the rest. These
"walkers" send a message
that appears to be a little
more determined. They
carry sticks, the offensive
weapon of choice of all
true "walkers." They are
ready to send a painful


GORDON MULARSKI
Region


reminder to any dog at any
time.
The streets belong to the
"walkers." They know that
they might get attacked,
but they refuse to be
defenseless. They also
refuse to quit walking.
It is very clear that we will
risk to do what we want.
We will defend what we
feel is worth defending.
In Acts, Paul says this
about a duty he was called
by God to fulfill: "And now,
compelled by the Spirit, I
am going to Jerusalem, not
knowing what will happen
to me there. I only know
that in every city the Holy
Spirit warns me that prison
and hardships are facing
me. However, I consider.
my life worth nothing to
me, if only I may finish the
race and complete the task
the Lord Jesus has given
me; the task of testifying to
the gospel of God's grace."
Acts 20:22-24 (NIV)
When was the last time
any of us have been
compelled to walk across
the street for God and
invest in a hurting neigh-
bor? When was the last
time we took a risk for our
faith?
The best-case scenario


would have been a life
impacted. The worst-case
scenario would have been
that your heart of concern
was revealed for someone
else. Either way, you win
and so does your fellow
man..
Jesus had to go through
Samaria in John 4:4 (NIV)
He had an appointment
with a certain woman at the
well. Jesus also told his
disciples that he must go to
Jerusalem and suffer many
things at the hands of the
elders, chief priests and
teachers of the law, and that
he must be killed and on
the third day be raised to
life. Matthew 16:21 (NIV)
I cannot escape the call
God has placed on my life.
You cannot escape the call
he has placed on your life.
Our lives were meant to be
productive on an eternal
scale, not a pleasure scale.
As a matter of fact, you will
never begin to live until you
begin to give of yourself.
If a "walker" can defend
his turf and prove to be
consistent on a day-to-day
basis, so can we.
The ground we are called
to defend is far more
precious and the stakes are
much higher. I hope today
we will listen to the voice
that compels us.
Step out and claim the
same status Paul and Silas
held in Acts 17, "These
men, who have caused
trouble all over the world,
have now come here." Acts
17:6-7 (NIV)
It's time to be consistent
with what we say we
believe. It is time to get
involved in the lives of
others who need us. It's
time to stand up and be
God's hand in our commu-
nity. This is still a new year
and the new you is waiting
to be discovered.

SI AI


BY WENDY DWYER
Staff writer
The get together twice-a-
week to warm up, do
homework, and hit the
courts. Everyone learns
new skills, makes lasting
friendships, and shares
lots of laughs and good
times. The fact that some
of the members of this
team are in their 60s and
70s, while others haven't
even hit their teens, hardly
seems to matter. They're
having fun and sharing
Tennis Education and
Mentoring (TEAM) with
one another, and they
wouldn't have it any other
way.
TEAM, a Big Brothers Big
Sisters program held in
cooperation with the
Sebastian Boys and Girls


Club, is an exciting way to
motivate children in
sports, exercise, academ-
ics, and schoolwork.
With guidance and assis-
tance from the United
States Tennis Association,
the program is designed
witli three basic goals in
mind: to introduce pairs of
"Bigs" and "Littles" to the
fundamentals of tennis; to
foster a spirit of teamwork
and cooperation; and, to
drive-home the impor-
tance of a healthy lifestyle
through regular exercise.
Currently, 15 mentors
and almost 20 children are
involved with the program
regularly. But additional
openings are available for
both male and female
mentors.
The prerequisites are:
adult mentors must be


over the age of 18, interest-
ed in mentoring children
and playing tennis. Volun-
teers go through the same
screening process that
community-based and
school-based mentors do,
and receive training and
one-on-one support from
Big Brothers Big Sisters
staff members.
Twice a week, the chil-
dren arrive and finish their
homework before it's time
to play tennis. Mentors are
on hand to help in any way
necessary, and once
homework duties are
done, both the "bigs" and
the littlee" lace their
sneakers and hit the
courts.
There are warm-up exer-
cises including stretches

Some cancers can even
be prevented from form-
ing with the removal of
polyps found during the
screening.
The American Cancer
Society recommends a
variety of screening tests
that help aid in the early
diagnosis of colon cancer.
Beginning at age 50, both
men and women with an
average risk of developing
colon cancer should follow
these ACS guidelines:
A fecal occult blood
test every year. Your
.primary care physician
can give you a take-home
kit. :
Flexible sigmoi-
doscopy every five years.
The ACS recommends
the combination of the
annual fecal occult blood
test and the flexible
sigmoidoscopy every five
years. The flexible sigmoi-
doscopy cannot examine
the entire colon, and
therefore, they recom-
mend a double-contrast
barium enema every five


years or a colonoscopy
every 10 years,
It's the colonoscopy that
seems to get everyone's
attention and make
people delay screening, so
perhaps it's a good idea to
let people know what to
expect.
People always mention
the preparation for a
colonoscopy. In fact, for a
day or two prior to the
test, you need to drink
only clear liquids such as
apple juice, tea and non-
red flavors of drinks such
as Gatorade. That's not
really so bad.
The day before the event,
the colon must be cleaned
out so that,the doctor can
have a clear view. You will
have to drink some
preparations and take
laxatives that will make
you stay close to the
bathroom for 24 hours or
so. It is unpleasant, but it
is something you need to
do, and you will get
through it.
The test itself, for which
you will receive anesthe-
sia, is nothing. I arrived at
the center at 8 a.m.; we
were home by 10 a.m. and


the doctor removed a
small polyp. The only side
effect was that I was pretty
groggy that day. You are
required to have someone
drive you home.
A few days later, the
doctor called to tell me
that the polyp was benign
and that he "didn't need to
bother me" for five more
years. I felt such relief I
need to repeat the test in
five years because I am at
a higher risk. For many of
you, getting the all-clear is
a 10-year free pass.
Next week, I'll discuss
some of the risk factors for
colon cancer and some
measure researchers '
believe may help prevent
the disease.
In the meantime, if you
are older than 50, or if you
are younger than 50 but
have a family history of
cancer, talk to your doctor.

From page B9


and running, volleys, fore
and backhand practices


and a chance to work on
the all-important serve.
Then there are team
games or drills, which
allow mentors and stu-
dents to work together as a
pair or as a large group.
And, of course, there's
plenty of opportunity for a
singles or doubles game of
tennis before the sun starts
to sink into the west and
the day officially ends.
TEAM mentors and par-
ticipants love the format
and the opportunity to
work together on improv-
ing both academics and
teamwork. Some days are
set aside with special
computer skill classes and
workshops for the men-
tors and kids, and the kids
love the opportunity to
learn about something
that they're so interested
in mastering.
None of the kids minds
taking a written quiz, so
long as the topic of the
day is something they've
come to passionately love
- tennis!
It's a wonderful way for
kids who may not have
otherwise had an oppor-
tunity to become familiar
with the sport to experi-
ence and learn first hand
what fun tennis can be. It's


also a great way for kids to
burn calories, release
energy, and maintain
great physical health and
fitness while having a lot
of fun.
The mentors involved
aren't, necessarily tennis
professionals they're
individuals who love to
play tennis and want to do
something to help chil-
dren in the community.
By joining the TEAM
program as mentors, they
can stay in shape, help
make the community a
better place, and share
their love of tennis and fit-
ness with another genera-
tion. Studies have consis-
tently shown that children
who are mentored are
substantially less likely to
skip school, act-out
aggressively, experiment
with drugs or alcohol, and
are far more likely to have
a positive attitude, suc-
ceed academically, and
get along with others. In
tennis terms, it's a "Love"
match, where everybody
wins.

ers Big Sisters mentoring
programs and activities,

The soft lighting, can-

the mood. I felt like I was
in Venice.
Our waitress, Danielle,
was helpful in suggesting
wine and also reviewed
Chef Henry Athenosy's
evening specials.
Warm bread and grainy
flatbread with whipped
garlic butter came as we
looked over the menu.
The entr6e choices of
the Southern Italian cui-
sine included seafood,
veal, chicken' and of
course, pasta.
We began our meal with
two appetizers. Baked
clams casino, which were
calms stuffed with bacon
and pimento, and zuppa
di mussels, which were
mussels prepared in white
wine and garlic sauce.
The bacon proved to be
the key ingredient to the
delightful clam appetizer.
My mother and I gobbled
up several before the.guys
caught on.
My father, a mussel
connoisseur, said, "these
mussels are obviously
fresh and the chef had
prepared them perfectly."
Both appetizers were a
hit.
Entrdes come with

Charles went with the
green pea soup. It was
served in a large bowl and
was hot, creamy and had
a wonderful ham base
that was just the right
touch.
My parents and'I had
the Gorgonzola salad. The
salad was drizzled with
the secret house dressing
that Chef Henry creates.
When I asked him to
reveal his secret he smiled
and said, "It is in the
roasted red peppers,"
Chef Henry said.
Smart chef.
For entrees my father
ordered the veal Parme-
san, mother had eggplant
Parmesan, Charles had
chicken Gorgonzola and I
had the shrimp Francese.
Each was a masterpiece
from the hand of Chef
Henry.
My father said his veal
was "succulent." He was
given a large portion and
enjoyed every bite.
My mother said, "The
eggplant is light with a
delicate flavor. I usually
think 'heavy' with Italian
cuisine. This is perfect for
me"
Charles' enormous
chicken entree was
smothered in white vodka

MARTIN COUNTY


'Queen of Suspense' comes to Stuart


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Mary Higgins Clark is a
storyteller through and
through. And on Feb. 22, at
the Friends of the Blake
Library's fourth annual
Booked for Lunch event at
the Hutchinson Island
Marriott, that's exactly
what she'll be doing.
"The queen of suspense"
said she learned her story-
telling from her Irish
mother and aunts as she
was growing up.
"The Irish are natural-
born storytellers," Ms.
Clark said in a recent tele-
phone interview. "Once a
month, the girls got
together and sat around
the table arid reminisced. I
heard tales of broken
hearts before the wedding
and bad bargains at the
altar. I loved it and ate it
up. I wrote poetry when I
was six and my mother had
me recite my poems. That
was so important to me.
"Later, when editors told
me how rotten I was, I
heard my mother's voice."
Ms. Clark, who was
raised by a widowed moth-
er, was also widowed at a
young age, with five small
children. She would wake
at 5 a.m. to write for sever-
al hours, until she had to
get the children off to
school. With young chil-
dren to raise, she knew she


had to write stories that
sold.
"I tell people to take a
look at what you grab to
read on a plane or while
you're waiting for the kids
in the bleachers. For me, it
was suspense. I always
loved Nancy Drew and
Agatha Christie. I wanted
to be first to know who did
it. I studied authors, read
good ones, and learned
from them. I was teaching
myself suspense."
The best-selling author
advises aspiring writers to
take a dramatic incident
that happened to you, or
one that you read about,
and say, "Suppose..." and
"What if?" Turn it into fic,
tion.
A winning lottery ticket
worth $42 was the inspira-
tion for her beloved clean-
ing lady/lottery winner,
Alvirah.
"I won $42 in a lottery
and I got on the bus with
ticket in hand, saying, 'I
won!'
'"A lottery ticket is like
cash. When I got off the
bus and walked home
through the woods, some-
one could have bopped me
on the head.
"From that came a
cleaning woman who won
$40 million and whose big
ambition was to go to a spa
in California, where she
realizes a crime is going
on. The result: 'Weep No


Mary Higgins Clark
More, My Lady.'
"That book was almost
the 'end of Alvirah," Ms.
Clark said. "I was going to
murder her, but my daugh-
ter (Carol Higgins Clark,
also a mystery writer,) said,
'You can't murder her.
She's funny and you've
bumped off enough peo-
ple.'
"You can thank Carol for
the fact that she's still
alive!"
Mother and daughter
have collaborated on sev-
eral books that feature
Alvirah and Carol Higgins
Clarks' sleuth Regan Reilly.
She added that working
with her daughter isn't dif-
ficult.
"We don't argue. We
both want it to be good
and to work. We modify,
we twist, and we talk about
the characters. The idea


for 'Santa Cruise' came
from a cruise we took
together."
Her daughter Patty col-
laborated with her on a
different project.
"Patty called and said,
'Have I got a hunk for you!'
His name was John Con-
heeney, he was a widower
and a retired chairman
and CEO of Merrill Lynch
Futures.
"Patty checked that he
wasn't seeing anyone, and
I invited him to a cocktail
party."
"It took him 10 days to
call me again and ask me
to dinner, telling me that
he'd last dated 40 years ago
and wasn't sure if you still
brought gardenias to the
lady," Ms. Clark said.
The couple has been
married for 10 years and
share sixteen grandchil-
dren.
Mary Higgins Clark will
appear Feb. 22, at the
Hutchinson Island Mar-
riott, 555 N.E. Ocean Blvd.,
from 11:30 a.m. 2 p.m.
Tickets for the luncheon
and talk are $75.
To reserve seat, visit the
Blake Library box office,

Stuart, on Wednesdays
from 1 3 p.m. For more
information, call (772)

the side pasta with the

refreshing.
After diriner we were
surprised with a sampler
tray of the specialty
homemade desserts of
Chef Henry.
On request, Chef Henry


will whip up zabglione for
customers. This Italian
custard pudding is made
with Marsala, a French
dessert wine, and egg
yoke and sugar. Lady fin-
ger's are served on the

treat.
The tray of delight also
included authentic New
York cheesecake that
dripped with chocolate,
raspberry and keylime
topping, a Tiramasu that

stuffed cannolis that
oozed sweet cream filling


from both sides.
With the amazing cui-

Jensen Beach High School's Daynelle Good (No. 7) assisted her team to a 23-3 records and a district title this season.
Ms. Good will be joining the track team to stay in shape and work on her speed.


* ACCESSORIES COLLECTABLES As Good as it gets
-T


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

Usually when an athlete
is a leading scorer on a
wining team, she likes to
let you know about it.
But when you talk to
Jensen Beach junior
Daynelle Good, you would
never guess she even
played soccer.
Good scored in 20 of the
Falcons 26 games, and had
30 goals this season for the
Falcons, tying Chole
Stokes for the team lead.
The tandem led Jensen
Beach to its first District
13-4A title and a 23-3
record. The Falcons lost to
Merritt Island, 3-2, in the
regional quarterfinal, but
clearly made a name for
Jensen Beach girls' soccer.

Good was one of the
players that head coach
Patty Morris couldn't wait
to work with when she
took the Jensen Beach job
last summer. She first saw
her play as an eighth-grad-
er for the Treasure Coast
United and then had to
coach against her at Mar-
tin County. Morris was
relieved that this year she
got to draw plays up for
Good, rather than one that
tried to stop her. ,
"She's a dangerous player
because she has speed,"
said Morris "She's very
hard to mark, because
she's all over the place. She
doesn't wait for the ball.
She goes to the ball. She's a
real hard mark."
But as loud as her actions
can be on the field, Good is

pretty quiet about them
when she not in uniform.
Her modest approach to
the game is something that
makes her so good said
t Morris. A leader by exam-
ple, Good is the first to
make the extra pass, or
help lead the team in prac-
tice.
Off the field, Good is typ-
ical teenager who likes to
go to the beach and hang
out with friends, anything
to stay active.
This spring the junior is
taking up track to help stay
in shape and work on her
speed, a trend that many
of her teammates have fol-
lowed as well. The switch
to another sport is some-
thing new for Good, who
couldn't remember' if she
had played anything but
soccer growing up. Howev-
er, she said her time on the
track team is just prepara-
tion for next soccer season.
A state championship
was not on the Lady Fal-
cons' mind after the 2005-
06 season but it is now. An
8-14 record had left bitter
taste in the mouths of the
team and they didn't really
seem to know where they
were going. But when Mor-
ris, who at the time had
eight district titles, signed
up to be the new coach,
the program instantly
gained credibility.
While Morris is quick to
say that players like Good
were the secret behind the
team's turnaround, the
junior attributes a lot of
the team's success to her
coach.
Summer workouts and a
few club tournaments
brought the team together
so that by the time the
Lady Falcons hit the field,
they were already in mid-
season form.
"It wasn't as competitive
last year as this year. Last
year we didn't think we
were as good," said Good.
"She made us focus a lot
more and made us believe
that we could compete. It
was fun this year."
The Lady Falcons soccer
team should have even
more fun next year. The
team returns both Good
and Stokes, and the. 60
goals they teamed up for
this past season.
One thing that will be
different for Good in 2007-
08, will be the college
recruits watching in the
stands. She already has the
attention of a few schools,
and by the fall she should
have many more said Mor-
ris.
Morris, who has coached
girls to go on to play for
some of the top Division I

A study in drivers covers all angels


I am so glad that I paid
attention in geometry
class back in school.
I know my triangles from
my rectangles. I know
trapezoids from squares
and even circles from ovals.
All of that knowledge,
ingrained so many years


ago, came in handy at this
year's PGA Merchandise
Show.
The rage in driver and
fairway wood design for
2007 is all about geometry.
Manufacturers are finding
new ways to push the

back in the head, and even
out toward the back
corners, in an effort to help
us hit the ball straighter and
(they claim) farther.
Since this past November,
we golfers have been teased
with photos of profession-
als on tour playing drivers
shaped like squares or long
triangles that look like
squashed versions of our
current sticks.
Manufacturers are finding
that moving weight as far
away from the face as
possible creates a more
stable head at impact.
When most golfers hit
their drive out on the toe or
in toward the heel, the head
of the club actually twists
and opens or closes causing
the ball to go in a direction
different than the one we
intended. %
These latest drivers have
whatengineers call "high
MOI," or moment of
inertia. The higher the MOI,
the more resistant the club
is t6 twisting when the ball
is struck somewhere other
than on the sweet spot. It is
a practice that has become
quite popular in putter
design the past several
years.
It all sounds great in
theory, but what about
reality? At the PGA Mer-
chandise Show, I took full
advantage of the opportu-

JAMES STAMMER
Golf columnist

nity to hit just about every
one of these new drivers.
My findings were a mixed
bag of good and bad, with
some terrible and an "oh
wow" thrown in.
The first thing you notice
with a "square" driver,
besides the shape, is the
sound.
Nike's new Sumo 2 driver
makes enough noise to not
only awaken the dead, but
to make them complain
about being so rudely
disturbed. The noise is
enough to warrant earplugs -
for your playing partners.,
Callaway's version of the
square, the FTi, is nearly as
loud, and makes a distinc-
tive sound due to the large
amount of carbon fiber in
the head. No matter how
well I hit this driver it never
sounded like I really
crushed the ball. While this
one went pretty straight, it
felt and appeared to hit the
ball shorter than my
current driver.
Then you have Orlimar's
Fury QB driver (www.orli-
mar. com). The Fury has
very, very little carbon fiber
in the head and makes a
sound much closer to what
we have become accus-
tomed. From the address


position, the head looks like
the hood of my brother's
Chevy, and it's nearly as
large.
One thing I noticed with
the new designs is that you
should consider stepping
down in loft from what you
currently use. Not only is
the weight farther back, but
lower as well. This design
makes getting the ball
airborne quite easy.
Simpac
(www.simpac.com), a
Korean company that has
been building square
drivers for nearly six years,
has, in my opinion, the best
square driver on the
market. The NF2 is com-
pletely titanium. The result
is a forged head that sounds
beautiful when you strike
the ball. The head also .
doesn't appear as large as
the others do, and is truly
square. This driver gave me
the best distance of the
entire lot and the most
forgiveness as well.
Simpac is also the only
company with a complete
Line of fairway woods and
hybrids that feature the
companies' trademarked
square shape to comple-
ment its flagship driver.
If square is not your bag,
there are still several high
MOI drivers to choose
from.
Tour Edge
(www. touredge.com)
introduced the Geo MAX at
the show. Company
founder and chief designer
David Glod believes the
square design simply does
not do enough for the
average golfer and that
most will not put up with
the horrible sound most
have.
With a much more
traditional shape than

anyone else, Tour Edge's
high MOI driver delivers
. the highest MOI numbers
of any driver. This means
that you can still have a
traditional look and sound
while straightening out
those off-center hits. At the
company's media event, I
found this to be a fairway-
finding machine.
Taylor Made (www.taylor-
madegolf com) pulled the
wraps off its new Burner
driver. More traditional in
shape, the Burner is nearly
as long face to back, as it is
toe to heal. Moving the ,
weight so deep in the head
helps to stabilize it at
impact. The problem I had
when hitting this club was
the face was closed as well,
and I wound up hitting
some nasty hooks.
Adams Golf
(www.adamsgolf com) tolk
an in-between path. Its :,
new Insight BUL driver has
a more rounded toe area at
the front and the rear while
the heel is more square.
The expanded mass design
moves weight not only to.
the rear but toward the
heel, to help golfers mord
easily square the club :
before impact.
I must tell you one thing
of extreme importance.
None of these high MOI -
drivers will straighten out a
slice or hook. I saw plenty
of swings at the demo dai
and not everyone enjoyed
straighter drives from the
new geometric drivers.
These drivers are meant
to help you when you make
a good swing, yet miss the
sweet spot on the face. The
club doesn't twist as much
as before, thus the ball flips
straighter with less dis-
tance loss.
If, however, you put an
ugly outside-in swing on
the ball with an open face,
the ball will slice. Geometry
simply cannot defeat
physics. I also didn't see the
proclaimed distance gains.
These clubs all look
beautiful in an odd way.
Some perform better than
others and nearly all will
wake up anyone still sleepy
from the night before. ,
Will they help your game
as much as advertised?
That depends on your
swing. Misses will fly
straighter and, in most
instances, straighter is
longer. If there was ever a
club that needs to be
"demoed" and fitted before
purchase, a high MOI
driver is it. You never know,
being square may be a
good thing.

BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

One of the area's most
prolific goal scorers has
decided to take his skills to
one of the country's most
dominant college soccer
programs.
Kyle Conrad, who led
Jensen Beach High School
boy's soccer program to a
state title in 2006 and a
regional semifinal berth
this year, signed a national
letter of intent to play for
the Fighting Kiiights of
Lynn University in the fall.
"I'm excited to know that
I'm going to be playing for
the next couple years. It's a
big step for me. I've been
working for this all my
life," said Conrad. "It's
really a nice honor. I just
want to thank my coaches
and teammates for
helping me get here. I'm
really happy to be going
where I'm going."
Conrad led the Falcons
with 50 goals in 2006-
2007.
Friends, family and
teammates joined Conrad
to help celebrate his
decision last Wednesday,
just hours after the team
was eliminated from the
regional playoffs with a 3-
2 loss in double overtime


to Key West. Although his
high school career had
just come to a close,
Conrad reflected on his
time at Jensen Beach
positively, saying he will
not soon forget all the
great time he experienced
on the field as a Falcon.
"I learned a lot of things
here. All the experience
playing in big games will
help me (at Lynn),"
Conrad said. "Being (at
Jensen Beach) last year
.and winning (the state
championship) was
awesome. Trying to repeat
this year was harder."
Conrad joins a program
that has established itself
as one of the best in the
country over the last 10
seasons. In 2003 Lynn won
the Division II Natonal
Championship and is the
reigning Sunshine State
Conference regular season
champions. Lynn.head
coach Shaun Pendleton
has a career record of 290-
48-12 in his 15 seasons at
the helm of the Fighting
Knights.
At the time of print,
Pendleton had not yet
received Conrad's letter,
and therefore could not
officially comment on his
signing.
Jensen Beach head


coach Charles Rosseau
said Conrad will fit in
perfectly at Lynn and he
anticipates many trips
down to Boca Raton to
watch him play. He also
expects to see Conrad
back around the Jensen
Beach soccer program
after he graduates.
"He has done some
things here that will
establish his legacy here.
I'm happy for him and
wish him all the best," said
Rosseau. "I'm confident he
will be a leader for this
team even though he wont
be on it."
When asked what he will
miss most about having
Conrad on his squad, his
answer was simple.
"Besides the 50 goals?"
asked Rosseau "A quality
character and dependabil-
ity. I could trust Kyle
Conrad with a million
dollars and come back five
years later,and he'd
..probably have the interest
for me. That's just the way
he is. It's hard to replace a
kid like him."
Teammates Harry
Gillespie (Old Dominion
University) and Alan
Eckler (Birmingham-
Southern) are expected to
sign their letters of intent
in the next month.
