crime statistics


Numbers show
significant
increases in
several areas
BY RITA HART

STUART If the 2006
crime statistics are any
indication, criminals enjoy
life in Stuart as much as
law-abiding citizens.
"Bad people like the
warm weather as well,"
said Stuart Police Depart-
ment spokesman Sgt.
Marty Jacobsen.
One of the most signifi-
cant increases in crime in
the city involved rob-
beries, up 55 percent (31)
from 2005. Robbery
arrests, however, increased
by 71 percent (12).
Burglaries to vehicles in
Stuart rose by 43 percent


(162) in 2006.
"Drugs are an epidemic
in the community, and I
think there is a direct con-
nection between drug
using and stealing," said
Sgt. Jacobsen.
Sgt. Jacobsen said that
vehicle burglaries are
"crimes of opportunity,"
and residents and visitors
are often nonchalant
about leaving their vehi-
cles unlocked and keeping
valuables in their cars.
"They have a Mayberry
mentality that it will never
happen here," said Sgt.
Jacobsen.
DUI arrests rose by 45
percent (114) in 2006. Sgt.
Jacobsen said, "It's per-
turbing to know how
much we put into educa-
tion in this community,
and these arrests are still
uip.

LAKELAND As the
fourth quarter of the
Florida High School Ath-
letic Association Girls'
Basketball 4A State
Championship came to a
close, Jensen Beach High
School basketball coach
Theresa lulucci made
sure each of her starters
received well-deserved
standing ovations.
And as each player
walked off the court she
also made sure to give
each girl a hug as the
Lady Falcons capped
their dream season with
a 47-33 victory over Dun-
bar High School for the
state title. It is an amaz-
ing accomplishment if
you consider that just
three years ago Jensen
Beach stepped on the
court for the first time
ever.
"These kids had the
heart and desire. You
have to credit these kids.
They spent endless hours
with the coaching staff,


and we're not easy to deal
with, they can tell you
that," said lulucci. "I'm
happy, I'm overwhelmed,
I'm in somewhat disbe-
lief. It's a dream come
true."
Seniors LaToya King
and Cameo Kent led the
way, scoring 17 and 16
points respectively. The
Lady Falcons finished the
year with a record of 27-
4.
"It feels great," said
Kent. "I wouldn't go out
any other way than to
win a state champi-
onship."
King, who had eight
steals in the champi-
onship game, was named
the tournament's Most
Valuable Player.
"Everything was
important to me. I just
wanted to play hard I
wanted to win," said
King. "It means a lot (to
win the MVP)."

Congressman reviews


busy first weeks in office


BY RITA HART
StaffWriter


STUART As far as U.S.
Rep. Tim Mahoney is con-
cerned, there should be no
more free lunches for
politicians.
Speaking at a recent
Council of Chambers
luncheon, Rep. Mahoney
reviewed some of the legis-
lation he has helped pass to
put the nation's fiscal house
in order since taking office
seven weeks ago.
The Democrat noted in
particular a bill he spon-
sored on earmark reforms.
Earmarks are often used by
politicians to fund pet proj-
ects at the end of the leg-
islative session without
debate or review.
"This means that con-
gress can't pass laws that
we can't afford, and that we
stop the pork projects," he
said. "Last year, 14,000 ear-
marks cost us $60 billion of
our hard-earned money."
Rep. Mahoney is a mem-


Rep. Tim Mahoney
ber of the Blue Dog Demo-
cratic Coalition, a group of
conservative Democrats
Whose focus is on fiscal
responsibility.
Rep. Mahoney said that
within hours of being
sworn into office, "I was
proud to sponsor and lead
the debate on ethics
reform. We got rid of the
boondoggles, the free
meals, the free tickets to
entertainment."
Noting that he and his


colleagues had inherited a
"fiscal disaster," Rep.
Mahoney said, "We passed
the budget for 2007 that put
a cap on spending at 2005
levels. We did that by get-
ting rid of earmarks, and
we found $4 billion of cuts
to fund programs for health
care for our veterans, Head
Start for our children, and
funding for our sheriffs,
and we did all of that by
making tough choices."
As part of that budget,
Rep. Mahoney said, "We
cut interest rates on college
loans to make education
more affordable. We took
$14 billion in subsidies that
were given to oil industry,
that this year alone is mak-
ing $1 trillion in annual
profits, and we are going to
put that money to work by
investing in alternative
energy."
Rep. Mahoney said

How do two musicians grow
up in the same area of New Jer-
sey, play in the same band in the
60's and then both move to the
Treasure Coast around the same
time and never meet until a yeai
ago?
Welcome to the hit and miss
story of Don Ciccone of Port St.
Lucie and Al Miller ol Stuart.
Mr. Ciccone has played with
Frankie Valli as one of the Four
Seasons, and helped with such
hits as "December '63/Oh What
a Night" and "Who Loves You."
However, in the early 60's he
had a brief taste of fame when
he formed the group, The Crit-
ters for which he was lead
singer-songwriter.

From bottom row left to right Milt
Koster, Don Ciccone, Lenny Rocco
and Albert Miller of SKEEZIX.
The Critters had two songs,


"Younger Girl,"and "Mr. Dieing-
ly Sad" that hit the charts, but
the success was short-lived
when Mr. Ciccone was drafted
to serve in Vietnam.
As far as he knew, the draft
split up the group.
But, there was something Mr.
Ciccone did not know.
"When I left for the war, my
group's breakup caused a splin-
ter group to form. This group
kept the name The Critters.
"I was not aware of the fact
that Mr. Miller was hired as a
keyboard player and singer,"
Mr. Ciccone said.
"So, not knowing that piece of
information, a few years ago,
when I moved to the Treasure
Coast area, I kept hearing about
this guy, Al Miller. He was a local


musician telling people he was
in the group The Critters. It real-
ly bothered me. I thought he
was just using the band's name,"
Mr. Ciccone said.
"I knew Mr. Miller was the
keyboardist for the local group
SKEEZIX, and about a year ago I
purposely went to Pirates Cove
one night to blast this guy.
"I sat at a table and listened to
their set. Funny thing is, as I sat
there, I thought the music, the
singers and the repertoire of
music was great.
"When the group was done
with a set I yelled out to Mr.
Miller as he passed by. I asked
him to have a drink with me at
my table," Mr. Ciccone said.
After a brief introduction and

American women than any
other illness more than
all cancers combined," said
State Representative Gayle
Harrell, Republican for
Florida House of Represen-
tatives; District 81.
Rep. Harrell, a leader in
health care policies in
Florida, was one of the
guest speakers for Martin
Memorial Health Systems
"Heart of aWoman"
luncheon on Feb. 23, at
Harbour Ridge Yacht and
Country Club in Palm City.
Rep. Harrell spoke to
those in attendance on the
seriousness of the disease,
pinpointing responsibili-
ties of training children in
proper diet and exercise
and looking after spouses.
"Not only does heart
disease have a huge impact
on state resources because
of the expense, but also at a
woman's personal level -
her home," Rep. Harrell
said.
"With education, togeth-
er we (women) can make
this a healthy community."
More than 100 people
attended the educational
opportunity to learn more
about heart disease, enjoy
lunch with friends and get
a sneak preview of 2007-
spring fashion provided by
Macy's department store in
Jensen Beach.
"The Heart of aWomen
program was designed to
empower women of all
ages to improve their heart
health by education and
awareness," said Scott
Samples, Martin Memorial
Health Systems public
information coordinator.
After the lunch and
fashion show, a PowerPoint
presentation of warning
signs and symptoms was
delivered by Sonya Fron-
soe, an advanced regis-
tered nurse practitioner
with the Stuart Cardiology
Group.
"When a woman has a
heart attack, her signs may
be different than a man's,"
Mrs. Fronsoe said.
"Pain and pressure in
your chest is a typical sign,
but some women do not
experience chest pain.
They may feel tired, wake
up in the middle of the
night and feel breathless or
just plain feel like some-
thing is not right."
She said risk factors that
are controllable include
weight, cholesterol,
smoking, high blood
pressure, watching alcohol
intake and diabetes. All of
these factors can be
brought under control to
reduce the risk of heart
attack.

Youth art month reveals fun, new trend


Students
create 'mini-
masterpieces'
BY ROBIN RINKE
Staff writer
PALM CITY A unique
trading card trend that
began in 1996 in Switzer-
land, is taking hold in three
Martin County middle
school art rooms.
'Artist Trading Cards are
an emerging art form that is
happening worldwide,"
said Missy Nelson, an art
teacher at Hidden Oaks
Middle School.
ATCs are 2.5 inches by 3.5
inches, the size of an aver-
age baseball card.
Mrs. Nelson calls the
cards "mini-masterpieces"
of original art.
What makes ATCs differ-
ent is that once created, the
artists" are encouraged to
trade them with other
artists.
Hidden Oaks Middle
School, Anderson Middle
School and Stuart Middle
School are all using the


cards in art class this year.
"A group of art teachers
from Martin County were
attending the Florida Art
Education Association con-
ference last year in Orlando
and learned all about the
ATCs," Mrs. Nelson said.
"A few of us middle
school teachers decided to
include it in our curricu-
lum. It was a real hit with
the students. I was sur-
prised that middle school
students caught on and
really got into it. My sev-
enth-graders really grabbed
hold of it."
Generally, ATCs are creat-
ed on a base of card stock.
However, artists can use
metal, stiffened fabric,
polymer clay, plastic, clay,
balsa wood, leather,
embroidery canvas,
acetate, heavy watercolor
paper, and many other
materials.
Artists can use soft block
stamps, pen and ink, col-
ored pencil, airbrush, col-
lage, textile arts, assem-
blage, digital art,
calligraphy, beadwork,
watercolors, rubber stamps
and practically anything to


create their cards.
"It was cool to make the
ATCs in class. I made a col-
lage using colored ribbon
to create my card," said
Rayna Birnbaum, a sev-
enth-grader at Hidden
Oaks Middle School.
Rayna actually saw some
ATCs last summer while
vacationing at a resort in
the Bahamas. While she
was at the pool, a teenage
boy had some art cards that
he was looking at. When
she asked about them he
told her he made them. At
the time, she didn't know
she was looking at ATCs.
Mrs. Nelson said kids are
used to trading Pokemon
cards and sports cards, so
this was easy for them to
get their minds around
when she shared the con-
cept.
Nikki Cromer, also a sev-
enth-grader at HOMS,
liked the freedom to cre-
ate what she wanted.
"I love the outdoors and
animals. I found pictures of
deer and bisons in maga-
zines and designed my
cards," she said.
Nikki said she likes the
4. -


idea of trading with other
artists who have animal
themes on their ATCs.
Danielle Curry wanted to
create odd, funny and origi-
nal designs not found any-
where else. The HOMS sev-
enth-grader used white
buttons on a black back-
ground for one of her cards.
Sixth-,seventh-, and
eighth-graders at HOMS
that had art class last
semester, all participated in
creating ATCs.
Students in Mrs. Nelson's
classes were asked to create
10 cards each.
Mrs. Nelson has a collec-
tion of more than 100 cards
that will be on display in
businesses around, Palm
City to help celebrate Youth
Art Month in March.
At the end of the month,
the three Martin County
middle schools have sched-
uled a trading session.
On March 20, at Stuart
Middle School, from 4-5
p.m., each artist will bring
their cards and trade with
one another.

South Fork teacher charged with three
counts of sexual activity with minor

Assistant State Attorney Keri Smith filed court doc-
uments on Feb. 22, charging South Fork High School
teacher Shawn Trotter with three counts of sexual
activity with a minor.
The charges stem from accusations that the high
school teacher, 34, had sex with a 16-year-old female
student in the closet of his classroom.
Mr. Trotter, who resides in Vero Beach, was incar-
cerated in Martin County Jail, but was released on
bail on Feb. 9.

Company selected to build mall at
1-95 and Becker Road

Road and Interstate 95.
Taubman Centers, owners of Wellington Green mall
in Wellington and International Plaza in Tampa, was
selected by Core Communities to construct the mall.
The city is planning to begin building an interchange
at the intersection later this year, which is expected to

The mall is part of Tradition's plan for 8 million
square feet of commercial and retail space along 1-95.

State approves IRCC bachelor's programs

The Florida Board of Education on Feb. 20 approved
Indian River Community College's proposal to offer
bachelor degree programs in workforce fields with
critical employee shortages.
IRCC will launch the new programs in January 2008
in teacher education in middle and high school math
and science, exceptional student education, nursing
and health care management, organizational man-
agement and public safety administration.
"IRCC's mission has always focused on responding
to the educational and workforce needs of our com-
munity, and providing these new programs is a natu-
ral progression," said Dr. Edwin R. Massey, IRCC pres-
ident. "As out region evolves into the Research Coast,
it is even more important that the residents of our
region have access to education which will prepare
them for 21st Century careers."
A community-wide needs survey initiated by the
school .signaled the intensity of interest in the new
degree programs. Approximately 90 percent of the

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

More on animal abuse

Regarding animal abuse, I send donations to a few
animal sanctuaries. Every day I get mail, and terrible
photos of abused animals from animal rescue organiza-
tions all over the country. My mailing address is sold, I
guess.
Why do these rescue organizations stay in business?
What is wrong with this country? Why does every state
have to have a nonprofit shelter for abused domestic
and exotic animals? Why are animals abused? What
happens to the abuser?
The creeps who starve lions, tigers, cats, dogs, burros
and horses, and keep them locked up until they are at
the point of death, and them over to animal rescue
agencies, then take pictures and write to me for money.
Why does this abuse exist? Why are these people
allowed to breed and sell these pets?
I just read that there is no comment at all about the
abuser. I am sure that the local humane society knows
who some of the local creeps are who abuse animals and
get away with it.
I think it would be a great investigative reporting
exercise for your very fine paper. Perhaps, the results
would be a national and local government clamp down,
and eventual closing down of these sanctuaries, with a
lot less mail for me.

Televised euthanasia a great idea

Kudos for the rant that suggested televising euthana-
sia of healthy dogs, cat and kittens at the humane
society, because they have no place to go.
The television program should include those animals
that are euthaniased because they are so badly injured
.by abandonment and abuse that they couldn't be
adopted.
Televising this is a great idea. Show it on public
television, and show it at all the schools, too. This
way the new generation will know better than the old
people who think that having puppies and kitties is
cute, only to have them turn out to be a nuisance.
Let them see what happens.

Cheapo snowbirds, are you sure?

Yet another rant about "cheapo snowbirds I see
leaving no tip for the waitress."
Does the ranter question restaurant patrons to
determine whether they are seasonal or not? Does
he/she follow them to the cash register to verify
whether a tip was entered on the credit card?
Please folks, this kind of negativity isn't healthy, or
productive. How about addressing larger issues
which truly impact your life with the same energy
you bring to this subject.
If you are not happy with your income/life, etc.
develop a strategy and channel all of your energies


CIWY GETI


towards achieving your goal.
One day, upon retirement, you might just e ale to
spend the summers in the mountains of North Caroli-
na, or elsewhere, where they very much dislike sea-
sonal Floridians!

Attack Labrador?

I am responding to the "resident shoots neighbors'
dog" story.
I could not believe that this person would actually
kill a neighbor's dog, and try to justify his actions.
We all have to live on this planet together, and try to
be civil. This story is just an example of what is wrong
with society. Life is just to expendable to preserve it.
I am ashamed for this person, even if he is not
ashamed of himself. I hope that his granddaughter,
mentioned in the story, doesn't wonder into his yard
unannounced. Who knows what would happen.
What a little, little, almost man you are. I wonder if
you have seen the little girls crying for their dog. I can
only hope the police department charges you with as
many crimes as possible.

Gasoline prices rising again

My rant is on the price of gasoline. As you know, the
price of gasoline is starting to go back up toward $3 per
gallon.
There's a reason for this. Nineteen cents of every dollar
spent for gas goes to taxes.
If George W. Bush, and his oil buddies, can get the price
back up to $3 a gallon, the tax on that same gallon of gas
would then be 37 a gallon.
That's right after his oil buddies just made excessive
profits, with nothing said about that from the White
House.


... 14EW SHTOTE


Now, do you remember a couple of years ago, when
George W. Bush signed a federal highway bill? He said it
would save American lives. There's no facts or figures to
back up that statement, but everybody believes it, so they
go along with it.
In the meantime, he is also inthe process of privatizing
the federal highway system. You don't see this much in
the papers. They are kind of like little articles you have to
pick apart. But, if he gets the federal highway system
privatized, he will be ale to give big, no bid contracts to
his friends and backers.
So, there you go. That's the reason the price of gas
keeps going up.
Now, how about ethanol? The president of the United
States said that we might have to rely more on ethanol. If
that's true, why did he put a 54( a gallon tariff on import-
ed ethanol?
The man says things that are absolutely not true. I can't
call him a liar, but, yes, it is a lie.
This is what the president of the United States is doing
with price of gas. That's why it was $3 a gallon before,
and why it will up there again. Just give it a little time.
You've got less than two years to get rid of this kind of
junk.

It's a wonderful world

What a wonderful country we live in. We are so blessed
with the United States of America to be fortunate enough
to live here.
People who are constantly complaining about this
country should just leave. Love it or leave it.
The Republicans with President Bush leading us have
been very fortunate. He has brought us through so much.
Instead of people being thankful, some just complain.
We have no choice. We have to kill them in Iraq. If we
don't, they will be here killing us.
Remember Sept. 11. Let us not forget.
Thank you, President Bush.


Letters


Losing the war on
unnecessary signage

Dear Editor:

This letter is regarding those bother-
some signs that have been popping up
around Port St. Lucie and Jensen Beach
these past few months. I'm not referring
to the plethora of candidate signs we saw
prior to November's elections, or even the
endless slew of real estate, lot clearing,
jewelry, singles, sign-making, pool clean-
ing, or "Capitalism Rules, Buy Our Crap"
signs that have been ever more present


lately, despite the lack of permits.
I'm referring to what have been called
the "magic marker man" signs. Cute allit-
eration, huh? It almost takes away from
the seriousness of what many of those
signs have to say. '
-We've rounded-up and redistributed
upwards of 300 signs to date.
For every sign we replant, about two are
taken to be recycled. Why, then, do you
suppose that people complain about our
signs, but not about the more numerous
signs that actually try to sell them some-
thing? Hmm. Well, while I'd be the first to
admit that some of our signs are "less than
beautiful," I have a feeling that aesthetics


isn't the issue.
We live ina society that proclaims free-
dom of press, yet allows all of its niajor
media outlets to be run by six itiultina-
tional corporations. And when ABC isn't
trying to get you to visit Disneyland, they
somehow neglect to mention the recent
bombings of Somalia; when NBC isn't try-
ing to get you to visit Universal, they tend
to dismiss global warming as a "theory." I
wonder if the fact that they're 80 percent
controlled by G.E. has anything to do with
that.
In its simplest essence, this is why we
exist. When all you see on those precious
chunks of nature that haven't been totally


destroyed by developers are brightly col-
ored signs trying to take your money, it
makes you a bit mad.
The sign re-beautification committee
has various beliefs and various levels of
dedication. We aren't going to stop fight-
ing for what we feel is right until some
serious changes are made, and we
encourage all of you to help us out.
Because once they take away your will
to fight back, that's when they've truly
won.

Rooney says he will


be watching votes


Republican
lawyer plans to
run against
Mahoney in
2008 election

BY RITA HART
StaffWriter

Thomas Rooney, a
Republican attorney with
an office in Stuart, is plan-
ning to run against U.S.
Rep. Tim Mahoney in the
2008 congressional race
for the 16th district:
In response to Rep.
Mahoney's remarks at the
Council of Chambers
luncheon, Mr. Rooney,
who attended the event,
said, "He made reference
to the fact that the tax cuts
aren't working, which
leads me to believe that it's
going to be one of his pri-
orities to get rid of the tax
cuts and increase our
taxes."
With respect to the
many issues discussed by
Rep. Mahoney, Mr. Rooney
said, "Certainly we are at
the absolute beginning
stage of addressing those
things. I think it's great if
he's talking about Martin
County being an incuba-
tor for alternative fuels
and alternative energies. If
he makes that a priority,
then maybe that's some-
thing Martin County can
be named for. However, I'll
be watching how he
votes."
The biggest concern Mr.
Rooney had with Rep.
Mahoney's comments,
however, was the issue of
minimum wage.


references to being a small
business owner in the
financial services industry
with a staff of over 200 and
30 locations throughout
the country, Mr. Rooney
said of Rep. Mahoney, "He
outsourced a lot of his
manpower to help with his
bottom line. That's a busi-
ness decision for him, but
you can't just say 'there is
going to be a minimum
wage increase, but when I
did it, I just sent them all
to India and paid them
one dollar an hour,' rather
than addressing all the
families he laid off."
Mr. Rooney further stat-
ed, "If he was involved,
either directly or indirect-
ly, with any company
whose solution to employ-
ing American workers was
to lay them off and out-
source, then he is having it
both ways by insisting the
rest of us have minimum
wage with no opportunity
to get credit for providing
certain health benefits."
In response to Mr.
Rooney's remarks, Jessica
Santillo, spokeswoman for
Rep. Mahoney, said, "Con-
gressman Mahoney
believes that Florida's
hardworking families
deserve a living wage
because when our workers
are strong, our businesses,
families, and communi-
ties are strong. It is unfor-
tunate that Mr. Rooney
has decided to align him-
self with the same widely
discredited, slanderous
claims made by a dis-
graced former congress-
man and a partisan
national spin machine.
Floridians want results on
issues like homeowners

Police announce transfers, promotions


By RITA HART
Slaf//Writer

STULJART' Several pro-
motions and transfers
within the Stuart Police
Department were recently
announced by Police Chief
Edward M. Morley.
Alexander Connolly, for-
mer Assistant Chief of
Police, retired on Jan. 1 to
pursue a career as district
scout executive for the Boy
Scouts of America Gulf
Stream Council. The
appointment of his suc-
cessor created a domino


effect within the depart-
ment. 0
Lt. David Dyess, was
promoted to fill Mr. Con-
nolly's shoes, effective Feb.
19.
Lt. Dyess has been with
the Stuart Police Depart-
ment for 17 years. He has
lived in Stuart for all but
the first few months of his
life. Married and the father
of four children, Lt. Dyess
is a graduate of Nova Uni-
versity, the Southern
Police Institute and the
National FBI Academy.
Lt. Dyess' previous posi-


tion was as commander of
the Operations Division.
Noting that the police
department is currently
housed in trailers, pending
the completion of a new
building expected to be fin-
ished in March, Lt. Dyess
said, "My pet project right
now is our new building. I
have been working on that
project since its inception
and will carry it to the con-
clusion."
Lt. Thomas Harmer, with
26 years in the department,
has been transferred to
command the Operations


Division in place of Lt.
Dyess.
This left a vacancy in the
position of Patrol Division
Commander, which has
been filled by Sgt. Dennis
Abell, a 26-year veteran in
the department who was
also promoted to the rank of
lieutenant.
Master Officer William
Pecci was promoted to ser-
geant and will become the
afternoon patrol supervisor,
while Master Officer Steven
Grafft will transfer from
patrol duties to Special
Operations.


Mahoney
From page Al


a direct impact in helping Floridians
create new jobs.
It is also an industry of the future.
"Let me tell you something, alterna-
tive energy and biofuels is an oppor-
tunity we can take advantage of here
in Martin County, which means that
kids growing up in Indiantown will
have the opportunity to grow up,
graduate, stay home, and participate
in an industry that gives them a future
for.the 21st century."
"We have the opportunity to be the
Silicon Valley of biofuels because of
our rich soil and our beautiful envi-
ronment."
The Congressman also set his sights
on increasing the minimum wage.
"We took 12 million people, work-
ing Americans, who have not seen an
increase in over 10 years earning the
minimum wage, and we gave them a
raise. And I'm real proud of that
because at the same time, we made
sure that Congress did not get a raise,"
he said.
Rep. Mahoney also mentioned his
sponsorship of the Small Business Tax
Relief Act in 2007, which amends the
Internal Revenue Code to provide tax
relief for small businesses.
Rep. Mahoney said the bill is aimed
at fostering entrepreneurship in our
communities.
"By making it more profitable to
own and operate small businesses,


this Congress is encouraging individ-
uals to bring their ideas and visions to
the marketplace," he said.
Rep. Mahoney said he was proud to
be one of a handful of freshman rep-
resentatives to be selected as a mem-
ber of the House Financial Services
Committee, which deals with insur-
ance reform.
However, noting the recent bill
signed into law by Gov. Charlie Crist
dealing with property insurance
reform, that allows Floridians a
reduction in premiums and options
such as dropping windstorm cover-
age and eliminating caps on
deductibles, Rep. Mahoney said, "I
know that what we've done here. in
Florida has averted a crisis temporar-
ily, but let's not kid ourselves. Nothing
happened in Tallahassee other than
we didn't increase the rates. By not
increasing the rates, we eliminated
the pain, but should we have another
hurricane season like we had a cou-
ple of years ago, we are going to be in
big trouble again. Those losses are
going to have to be covered by the
people of the state of Florida."
Saying that the insurance reform
law didn't really fix the problem, Rep.
Mahoney added, "The governor, in
order to make sure that we don't have
a crisis, basically declared martial law
and said to insurance companies that
you can't leave. And this is not a good


situation."
As a member of the Financial Ser-
vices Committee, Rep. Mahoney said
he plans to foster a debate to contin-
ue to address the issue of insurance
reform.
"One of the questions I'm going to
be asking the insurance industry is a
basic fairness question; 'If somebody
pays in and they haven't received the
benefit of the insurance, is it basically
a fair thing to be dropped?'" he said.
One issue being discussed in Wash-
ington is the creation of a national
catastrophic fund. He noted the fund
has two flaws. One is that congress
has not determined where the
money for such a fund will come
from. The other is the argument from
those who live in states less prone to
major disasters whom ask why they
should be expected to contribute to
such a fund.
"I'm committed to finding that bal-
ance, to working with the insurance
industry," said Rep. Mahoney. "But at
the same time, my number one pri-
ority is to make certain that we
address this problem because it is
killing our economy and hurting our
standard of living. It is pushing thisO
economy to the brink and it has to be
resolved now. Today it's a crisis and
we don't have a lot of time to address
it, so that's why it's number one on
my priority list."

A M ti C unt


Band
From page Al
a drink, the mystery of
The Critters musician
was finally solved and
the two guys from Plain-
field, New Jersey became
fast friends.
"I sat down at his table
that night to talk and
we've been friends ever
since," Mr. Miller said.
Not only did they start
a friendship, but, as of
January, the two are play-
ing together in the same
band.
Mr. Ciccone joined as
the guitarist-singer for
SKEEZIX.
SKEEZIX has been
playing Treasure Coast
area clubs for more than
five years. The band
derived its name from a
character in the comic
series Gasoline Alley.
The group consists of
Mr. Miller on keyboards,
Lenny Rocco on bass gui-
tar and Milt Koster on
drums. The band shares
singing duties.
Each musician has
years of performing
experience in the indus-
try, making this group a
unique Treasure Coast
attraction.
Mr. Miller is a singer-
songwriter and former
MGM Stormy Forest
recording artist from
South Plainfield, New
Jersey. Mr. Miller's tal-
ents have been used in
movies, short films and
commercials. His origi-
nal songs are a regular
part of each perform-
ance.
The bass player, Mr.
Rocco, is also a former
MGM Stormy Forest
recording artist from
South Plainfield. He has
been a singer-songwriter
more than 25 years and
has performed with
some of this area's most
popular groups.
The drummer, Mr.
Koster has played with
many celebrated acts at
Caesars Pocono Resorts
in Pennsylvania.
The diverse back-
grounds of the musicians
has created an intriguing
sound that blends rock,
pop and blues. The band
also plays some original
music.
"I'm excited to be a
part of this group. The
eclectic repertoire
appeals to all ages'. Peo-
ple like to dance to the
music and it's entertain-
ing," Mr. Ciccone said.
It took forty years for
the two boys from Jersey
to finally play in the
same band at the same
time.
"Right now, we are
booked every weekend
through June. It's great
being able to do what
you love to do," Mr. Cic-
cone said.
For more information

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-
ers. I am not trying to tell you
how to run your business. I "My CU
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your exptectat
customers,.
Virtually every car dealer of educ
in Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a SOphisti4
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $509 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
and your profit in such a manner that it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
and when I stopped charging it a few years
ago it was scary. But I did it because I could
no longer, in good conscience, mislead my
customers. Just because everybody else
was doing the same thing, did not make it
correct.

Now, here is the 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 pri6e 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
n$S, lvelt or used car. You can do the
same.
ion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
ition are I think of myself as the new
"sheriff' that has come to
er today." "clean up South Florida". In
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.
Sincerely,
Earl Stewart Earl Stewart Toyota

TRAVEL


Be safe when


traveling alone


T ravel is the best way to
| meet newpeople,
make new friends, re-
kindle old friendships, find a
mate, increase your aware-
ness of the world around
you, experience personal
growth, lower your blood
pressure or just relax.
But traveling as a single
can have its challenges and
risks, so you should be
aware of the various options
that are available to you that
can make your single travel
experience a fun and
fulfilling one.
If you are looking for a full
and worry-free vacation
experience, you might
consider an all-inclusive
resort that will give you the
safety of "communal" living,
yet provide the flexibility of.
structuring a complete
experience of your chosen
destination.
Some tour operators cater
specifically to young people
traveling abroad on their
own so they can share their
experiences with others in
the same age category.
Enhance your vacation at
an all-inclusive by signing
up for the many on-site
activities offered and
participating in the unique
tours offered by the resort.
These mega resorts, such as
Club Med, offer tours for
shopping, sightseeing, night
life, educational and
adventure, giving you the
perfect opportunity to
interact with others.
If you would rather travel
to two, three or more cities,
then a cruise or escorted
tour may be your best
'choice.
Despite the very few
incidents that have received
exaggerated and sensation-
alized media attention,
cruising is a very safe and
enjoyable way to travel even
as a single. And of course,
there are single cruises that
are tailored to the "high
end" markets and specifi-
cally structured to facilitate
single encounters, meaning
they won't make you feel
uncomfortable, as ifyou are
on the prowl.
But it allgets down to
basics. Evaluate your travel
options by a travel profes-
sional to assist you. Do not
expose yourself to question-
able situations or people.
Mingle with like-minded
people when deciding
which tour you plan to take
and be aware of your
surroundings when you do
get to your destination.
Hotels, cruise lines, tour
operators, etc., do whatever
they can to make your travel
experiences as safe as they
can be, but they cannot
cover all eventualities.
Your personal safety is, to
a significant degree, up to
you and should be seriously
considered before and
during your trip.
Here are a few tips that
may help make your single
(or otherwise) vacaton a
safe and pleasurable
experience.
When you-chieckinto a
hotel, consider introducing
yourself to your concierge or
doorman and ask him or
her a question about
services at the resort. Keep
the conversation, brief and
professional. A small tip
may help them remember
you in the days ahead.
Use the hotel/cruise ship
safe for money, your travel
documents and jewelry. If
you use your room safe, be
sure you know how to
operate it properly.
If taking a taxi, always try
to originate your ride from
your hotel and get direc-
tions before you leave the
premises. When away from
your hotel, try to avoid

Do You SOMETIMES
GET THE SURGE
If your vehicle's engine surges
while you are on the road, the
problem is likely caused by
engine management failure.
This means that the sensors
that monitor performance and
emissions are relaying prob-
lems to the power train control
module (PCM), which controls
fuel mixture, timing, and emis-
sions management systems. As
the result of a failure, the vehi-
cle will surge. For instance, if a
sensor value is out of the nor-
mal range, the PCM may hunt
for a value, which causes the
engine to surge. Or, a tear in the
intake boot may create a vacu-
um leak that causes one or
more sensors to malfunction.
Testing the diagnostic trouble
codes with a PCM scanner will
usually reveal the culprit.
Engine surges can affect per-
formance and the safety of your
automobile. At ADVANTAGE
FORD OF STUART, we have the
diagnostic tools and techni-
cians trained to use them to
find and then fix the problems
that are causing engine surges.
Located at 4000 S.E. Federal
Highway, we urge you to bring
your vehicle to us at the first
sign of engine surge. We serv-
ice most major makes and
models in addition to Ford and
Lincoln/Mercurycars. Questions?
Call 772.781.6540.
HINT: A plugged exhaust sys-
tem can cause excessive back
pressure, which can also lead
to surging.

Title
From page Al
Treasure Coast newbie to
now a state basketball
powerhouse.
,The state title was the
basketball program's
first, but the school's sec-
ond overall. The Falcons
boy's soccer team won
the state title in 2006.
In the Jensen Beach's
first three years, it has
received resounding sup-
port from the local com-
munity. Hundreds of
local fans made the 2
hour and 30 minute trek
to Lakeland to cheer on
Jensen Beach at Lakeland
Center.
"The fans have been
unbelievable, that's our
sixth man right there,"
said luliucci. "Everybody
supports us. I've been
getting phone calls and
(text messages). It's really
amazing how much they
support these kids."
The coach blew a kiss
to the crowd after receiv-
ing her gold medal and
center Brett Benzio, who
hit 10 of 12 free throws to
account for all her
points, simply held up
one finger and paused a
moment before stepping
off the platform.
Players of the schools
boy's basketball team,
who won the District 14-
4A title but lost in the
regional quarterfinals,
were some of the loudest
members of the Falcons
crowd.
"It's not just the (boys'
team), it's the whole
school," said Benzio.
"Every team supports
each other. You can go to
any game and you can
see half of any other team
there."
Winning the state title
is an accomplishment in
its own right, but the
road Jensen Beach- took
to get there might be


more impressive.
The Falcons started off
the season beating a
tough Sebastian River
team by only three
points, en route to 11
straight victories.
Next came a stretch in
which Jensen lost four of
five, mostly to nationally
ranked teams from out of
state. The experience of
playing some of the
country's best, humbled
the Falcons and prepared
them for their champi-
onship run.
In 2005, the team lost
in the regional finals to
Holy Names and in 2006
their season ended in the
same round to Astronaut
after blowing a double-
digit lead. Astronaut
went on to be crowned
state champs two games
later.
The 2007 Jensen Beach
playoff run matched the
Falcons against Astro-
naut in another elimina-
tion game, this time in
the regional quarterfi-
nals. After avenging that
loss, 47-36, the team
staved off Suncoast 45-32
to advance to the pro-
grams first FSHAA Final
Four.
It only got harder for
the Falcons, who had to
face Bishop Moore of
Orlando in the semifi-
nals. Bishop Moore fin-
ished state runner-up in
2005 and 2006 and
looked poised to return
to the championship,
erasing a 13-point fourth
quarter deficit to take the
lead with under two min-
uets in the game. But the
Lady Falcons rallied and
held on for a 48-43 tri-
umph.
Jensen Beach had no
reason to rally in the
championship though,
dominating play
throughout and leaving
no question as to who
was the best team in the
FHSAA Girls' Basketball
4A Final Four.

From page Al 11


ask for help at the front
desk. If traveling interna-
tionally in a country where
you know neither the
language nor the signage, or
simply where you cannot
decipher the writing, have
someone at the hotel write
in local script the destina-
tion to which you wish to be
taken.
Select your return trip cab
with caution and always be
aware of your surroundings.
A "body purse" or money
belt is a good investment
Do not show your money
(flash cash) foreign or
domestic. Worse case
scenario: if you are not sure
of the money exchange, it is
better to leave a little extra
money on the table than
risk a total loss.
Be very careful to whom
you give your hotel room or
cabin number. Unless the
person is a close personal
acquaintance, meet people
in the lobby or have the
hotel operator connect
them to your room.
If you decide to go out
with a special someone that
you meet, have him or her
pick you up at your hotel.
Find your bellman or
concierge (whom you met
earlier, remember?) and
casually mention that you
are going.out with one of the
locals and ask for sugges-
tions about where you


might go for a safe and good
time.
Always remember to be
safe in personal encounters.
Don't get caught up in the
moment. This can get to be
more than exciting in a
foreign country where
perceptions are different.
Unfortunately, in these
confused days, if you are an
American, you could be a
target. Keep your wits about
you and be aware of your
surroundings. If you are
uncomfortable in a situa-
tion, find the quickest and
least conspicuous way out.
Wait until the last day
before your departure
before giving out your home
address or telephone
number. You would not
want this information
forwarded to a professional
thief while you are away on
vacation. It happens.
If traveling abroad and
you find yourself in trouble,
contact the nearest U.S.
Embassy or Consulate, a
safe haven for all Ameri-
cans.

Stuart
From page A1
Sgt. Jacobsen said
although the number of
officers employed by the
police department has not
increased, "We are still
able to take these individu-
als off the road with the
same amount of
resources."
Shoplifting saw a 154
percent (99) increase in
2006.
"This is something we
predicted when Walmart
was built," said Sgt. Jacob-
sen. "Walmart has effective
crime prevention methods
and they turn shoplifters
over to us. They always
take action. They are very
self-sufficient," he said.
Stuart police investigat-
ed 1,299 automobile acci-
dents in 2006.
"We seem to be the
Bermuda triangle of
crushed metal in Stuart,"
said Sgt. Jacobsen, adding,
"Ninety percent of the
people in these crashes
don't even live here, so we
are providing a service to
outsiders."
False alarms decreased
in 2006 by nine percent
(1,244), said Sgt. Jacobsen,
but responding to these
alarms takes up a lot of the
police department's time.
"Crime prevention offi-
cers g6 to some of the
same businesses over and
over to find out why they
have repeat false alarms,"
said Sgt. Jacobsen.
"Usually, it's user error.
But we have to send a min-
imum of two officers each
time, and it takes about 25
minutes of their time. It
cost us 686 hours of police
time last year, just
responding to false
alarms," he said.
In 2006, the Stuart police
had a 100 percent increase
in murders. However, that
is the result of one murder
in 2005, and two murders
in Stuart in 2006.

Two kinds of biscotti
and a calcium warning


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well


Are you


at risk


for colon


cancer?

Editor's Note: This is,
part two of a two-part
series. The first column
ran Feb. 16.
Many people
brush the risk of'
developing
cancer because "there's
none in our family."
However, many cancers
are not hereditary and
.many factors. go into the
development of cancer.
For colon cancer there
are risk factors you
should know about and
discuss with your doctor
so that you can have
appropriate early screen-
ing if it is advisable.
Age is one of the biggest
risk factors. Although
younger people can
develop colon cancer;
more than 90 percent of
people diagnosed with it
are older than 50. That's
why screening guidelines
recommend that testing
begin at 50 for most
people.
If you have had colon or
rectal cancer, you are
more likely to develop it
again. Your doctor will
watch you carefully.
If you have a history of
certain kinds of polyps or
growths in the colon,
even though they are not
cancerous, you are at
increased risk for devel-
oping the disease. A
doctor will remove
polyps during a
colonoscopy and send
them to be biopsied, or
checked for cancer.
Most are not cancerous;
I have had non-cancer-
ous polyps removed
several times. It is done

itself. I've cut back to
one 600 milligram
with vitamin D pill
and I am paying
attention not to
always buy calcium
fortified. The maxi-
mum tolerable level '
of calcium is 2,500 i;''.'.
milligrams per day.
If you eat right,
you're getting
calcium from many
foods and dairy
products. Check out
every supplement you're taking;
do the math.
I am constantly being asked for
biscotti recipes and since I didn't
have a recipe, I asked for help
from you.
Quite a while ago, Liz Behh
sent me two recipes. Liz is of
Italian descent; she remembered
how wonderful they were, but
didn't have the recipes.
After finding recipes and
adding ingredients she remem-
bered, she made them her own.
I have also had a request for
"soft" biscotti. Anyone have a
recipe?
Enjoy and see you next week
when we get ready for St. Paddy's
Day.

PISTACHIO-ORANGE
BISCOTTI (NIB)
Makes about 3 dozen
I have not tried a low-fat, low-
cholesterol version since this is a
holiday treat.

1 3/4cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt


In the past, I have discussed
white, whole wheat flour. It
has all the nutrition of
regular wheat flour, but the
texture and taste is similar to
bleached white flour. Several
companies are making white
wheat bread but the flourcan be
very difficult to find.
Here's something that will give
you a wake-up call.
We all know how important
calcium is to keep our bones
strong and,. if you are like me,
you follow the guidelines and
take 1,200 milligrams a day.
Since calcium doesn't absorb
well unless taken with vitamin
D, we make sure our supple-
ment includes vitamin D.
I recently came across a health
article stating the dangers of too
much calcium.. Information
from the American Medical
Association and the Institute of
Medicine had a lot to say.
Just about everything you eat,
from orange juice to breads to
cereals even to candy is fortified
with calcium. What can happen
is too much calcium. This can
cause aches and pains all over,
the body (had them), kidney
problems and kidney stones in
some, drug and nutrient interac-
tions and so much more.
Too much calcium can
decrease the effectiveness of
several antibiotics, as well as
some medications for cardiac or
thyroid conditions and actually
weaken the bones making them
more prone to fractures. Excess
calcium can also cause severe
gastrointestinal distress.
Why haven't we been told by
our doctors, pharmacists, not
even on the label of the calcium

Week of 03-02-07


Aries-March,21-April 19
There is so much you want to do this year. Your
confidence level is higher than ever because of
everything you have learned in the last two or
three years. These are signs of your strong, healthy
interest in life. The passion n your soul still
burns strong. Seize every moment and see inspira-
tion in small things and large. Then take action to
create new realities. Next, watch the new streams
of good coming back your way. Enjoy and share
with others who helped you on the journey. Last-
ing happiness and success is now assured.


O ,F







1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted
butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange
zest
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups unsalted, shelled
pistachio nuts

NOTE: Preheat oven to 350
degrees. Butter one jellyroll pan
(baking sheet with sides).
Sift together first 4 ingredients
into a bowl. Set aside.
Combine butter, sugar, orange
zest and vanilla in a large bowl.
Beat with an electric mixer set
on high speed until light and
fluffy, about two minutes. Mix in
eggs one at a time, beating well
after each addition. Reduce speed
to low, add the nuts and mix in.
Add the flour mixture and mix
only until incorporated. Dough
will be soft. Cover and refrigerate
until well chilled, about one hour.
Divide dough in half. Using
lightly floured hands, roll each
half on a lightly floured surface
into a log, 1 1/2-inches in diame-
ter. Arrange logs on baking sheet


Ideas and
Comparisons

Dark baking pans can hold too much
heat and burn baked goods.






The Guru's
Special Hint

When adding nuts, fruit or chocolate
chips to a batter, shake them in flour
first. It prevents them from sinking to
the bottom.

To Your Health

Too much calcium can weaken bones
rather than strengthen them. Read all

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Your words are respected by others in ways you
may not even know. Some quote you because of
your wisdom. One of your greatest gifts is helping
others find their way in the world. This is only one
of your spiritual gifts. The more you encourage oth-
ers the better you feel. It keeps your heart open.
This is a great gift. It reflects your basic goodness,
strong consciousness and humanity. Doing what
you love is another important key to your success.
Keep on keeping on forever. Never give up.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Your energy is very high. Your natural rhythms are
strong. Physical activities should be a top priority.
You have worked out of recent stresses. New
ideas are 'on the way. Follow this divine inner
guidance. If your heart isn't in it, it is you gut
instinct telling you to try something else. You
don't have to be all things to all people. Delegate
projects that you can't get to now. This makes
others feel important. Now everyone is happy
and you get a lot more done.


Cancer-June 22-July 22
Your mastery of smaller details is preparing you for
larger responsibilities. You, of large heart, continue
to excel at life's challenges. Your warm, loving
nature always carries you through life's storms.
Your natural sensitivity warns you of difficult situa-
tions before they happen, when you are listening.
Your job is to ride out the storms and know that
good will prevail for yourself and others involved.
Many others desire this kind of sensitivity. You
were born with it.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
You can expect finances to increase if you keep a
tight budget and hold back on indiscreet spending.
Saturn in Leo demands this for at least the next
two months. You will see more freedom coming
around April. The focus should be right now on fin-
ishing up old projects before starting new ones.
Keep releasing old habits, attitudes and things that
no longer serve you. This makes room for the new
that is just ahead. Refuse to be content, don't get

Denyce Graves bringing international flavor to Lyric


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Denyce Graves was 14
and a student at the Duke
Ellington School of the Arts
in Washington, D.C. when
she first heard the voice of
Leontyne Price on a record-
ing.
"I was late for class and
my girlfriend, Cassandra,
pulled me into the listening
library," Ms. Graves said.
"She told me I had to hear


something. We stayed and
listened over and over to the
recording until the end of
school, missing classes and
lunch. I knew that's what I
wanted to be."
In a telephone interview
from Japan, where she was
singing, Ms. Graves
explained why she doesn't
choose favorites among
roles, composers or leading
men.
"It's too hard," she said. "I
love Puccini, but he didn't


write for my instrument.
I'm discovering new com-
posers and I'm in love for
different reasons. I've had
wonderful leading men
who have moved me for
very different reasons. I've
worked with American
tenor Stephen O'Mara, but
all the men have touched
me in different ways."
While her signature roles
are the title roles in "Car-
men" and "Samson and
Delilah," she is especially

Danielpour and a libretto
by Toni Morrison, is based
on a true fugitive slave story

& SPIRITS


in pre-Civil War America.
Ms. Graves appeared in the
world premiere of the opera
on May 7,2005.
"The role was written for
me," she said. "I was
touched by her story and by
who she was. It affected me
to my core. But all of my
roles speak to me in differ-
ent ways."
Ms. Graves has also per-
formed at times of.national
celebration and mourning.
She sang at the National
Cathedral during the
memorial service for the
victims of the Sept. 11
attacks and performed at
the second Inaugural of
President George W. Bush.

Most recently, she returned
from her home in Paris to
sing at the state funeral of
former President Gerald
Ford.
She is looking forward to
the concert at the Lyric
because she loves recitals.
In fact, she insisted that
time be put into her sched-
ule for concerts
"It's one of my greatest
joys," Ms. Graves said. "I get
to choose all the material
and I'm more in control. It's
an opportunity to discover
new music. You have a
greater responsibility,
because there is no real
lighting or costumes that
help you tell the story. You
are much more exposed
and you have nothing to
hide behind.
"The pieces are things
I've loved for awhile and
have always wanted to do.
I love Schubert ..'. When
Schubert and others
wrote, they had in mind
an intimate salon setting.
I prefer that. There are
French songs, American
spirituals, and a little bit
of everything. It's my
vision. I'm excited about
it. You shoulder the
blame and the glory."

forms at the Lyric Theatre

concert sponsored by the
Treasure Coast Concert

From page B1
stuck in the past and move
forward one day at a time.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Your renewed self-esteem is
working. The moon in Virgo
says to follow your heart.
Take good care of your own
emotional and physical
needs first. If you don't do
these things for yourself, you
won't let anyone else do
them consistently either. It's
like a test from the universe
to see if the new ways have


taken root or whether you
allow yourself to fall back to
old patterns. Let your attitude
be, '"This is my life, thank you.
I am making the most of it"

Libra-Sept. 23-0ct. 22
You continue to move for-
ward. When you have a solid
plan and put it into action,
few things will stop you from
creating reality from the idea.
For you to feel happy, you
need to feel steady progress
and balance toward your
dream and inspiration. Just
be sure to stay focused on
the most important ones first


so you don't get stuck or side-
tracked. Keep a lighter touch.
No reason to get over-
whelmed now. Your results
and happiness want to take a
quantum leap over the next
few months.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
You are a leader in emotional
activities because of your
large heart. Scorpio is one of
the water signs, which rules
feelings. If you want to get
things done in your personal
or professional life, you must
be able to express your feel-
ings. Refuse to let ego-based


people try to trap you into
doing things their way first.
This makes you want to run
away, even if you don't. Stand
up for your beliefs. Be bold
and show courage. This
quickly shows you where
others are coming from and
who can be trusted to help
you in your quests.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The creative artist living in
your soul demands that you
see the beauty in life around
you. When you surrender
your will and listen to your
inner guidance, the secrets


and deeper mysteries of life
emerge and are made known
to you. Jupiter in Sagittarius
continues to give you plenty
of opportunities to create a
rich, full life with universal
blessings always upon it.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Capricorn, it's hard to believe
it is the same you from a year
ago. You have grown so
much, emotionally and spiri-
tually. You are calmer, more
centered, and much more
upbeat. You are an earth sign,
but your heart rules your
head.

From page BI


at the same time as a
colonoscopy and doesn't
hurt.
If you have a history of
ulcerative colitis or
Crohn's disease, which
are chronic inflammatory
diseases of the colon,
your risk of developing
colon cancer increases.
You should ask your
physician about appro-
priate early screening.
A family history of colon
cancer may put you at
higher risk and your
physician needs to know
about it.
According to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society, about
30 percent of people who
develop colon cancer
have a strong family
history. Screenings in
those families should
begin earlier than age 50.
If you come from
certain ethnic back-
grounds, your risk may be
higher. Jewish people of
eastern European descent
(Ashkenazi Jews) have a
higher rate of colon
cancer that may be linked
to a genetic mutation.
African-Americans have
the highest incidence and
death rate, but the reason
for this is not known.
If you have a diet that
comes mostly from
animal sources and is
high in fats, you may have
a higher risk of develop-
ing colon cancer. Eating a
lot of red meat and
processed meats can also
increase your risk.
The American Cancer
Society recommends
choosing most foods
from plant sources and
limiting high-fat foods;
eating at least five serv-
ings of fruits and vegeta-
bles every day; and eating
whole grains. Many fruits
and vegetables have
substances that can help
prevent cancer forma-
tion.
If you are physically
inactive, you have a


greater risk.
If you are extremely
overweight, your risk of
dying from colon cancer
increases.
If you smoke, recent
studies have shown that
you are 30-40 percent
more likely than non-
smokers to die from
colon cancer and smok-
ing may even cause more
than 10 percent of the
cases, because some of
the cancer-causing
substances are swallowed
and go through the
digestive tract.
Certain hereditary
conditions may make it
more likely that you will
develop colon cancer.
Some of the factors,
such as age and family
history, we can do noth-
ing about. It's clear,
though, that the usual
suspects: diet, lack of
exercise, obesity, and
smoking, that cause so
many other problems, are
also linked to this terrible
disease.
The take-away message
is that the same behaviors
that put us at risk for
other illnesses are risk
factors for colon cancer
and we should try to
change them. Since we
can't control our genetic
make-up, appropriate
screenings can help

From page B3


grass," the Canadian performer
said. "Pretty much everyone signed
up. It's all things violin and fiddle.
It's a great demonstration of styles,
combined with theatrical presence,
singing, dancing, theatrical lighting,
sets and costumes."
Mr. Solomon says that it took a
few years to put it all together, and
that it's been a collaborative ven-
ture.
"It's stimulating for us to be in this
environment," he said. "Everyone's


on such a high level or perform-
ance. There's a sense of sharing, not
competitiveness. We learn to
improvise, learn about other styles.
Everyone gets a solo. George Gao
plays the erhu (a two-stringed Chi-
nese instrument) that's haunting
and beautiful. We have step dancers
who fiddle at the same time. It's a
real'feat' of coordination."
Mr. Solomon wants the audience
to leave behind any ideas they have
about the violin.


"We're cutting edge," he said.
"We're the next generation. "We
have teenagers and kids at our
shows. It's a good family-friendly
show."

Bowfire appears at the Lyric The-
atre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., in Stuart,
for four performances, March 7 and
8, at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are
$50 and $45. Call the box office at

READ IT IN THE


It's bad enough that gas
stations now make you
pay to inflate your own
tires with air. But at least
you are getting what you
paid for. Air that does what
it's supposed to do, and
that is, keep your tires
inflated.
Many car dealers are now
charging customers to fill
their tires with"pure" nitro-
gen. They tell you that
nitrogen does not leak from
your tires as quickly as air
and this means that your
tires will stay properly
inflated longer before you
have to add more nitrogen
(and pay the dealer for
this).
What the dealers don't
tell you is that the air that is
already in your tires is
mostly nitrogen anyway. In
fact, 78 percent of the air
you breathe is nitrogen.
Oxygen represents only 21
percent of the air. The rest
of air includes carbon diox-
ide and other inert gases.
I'm not sure what the purity
of the nitrogen is that they
pump into your tires for

$199 (for filling four tires
full of mainly air). But you
can be assured that the
purity of the nitrogen is not
100 percent and is probably
closer to the 78 percent that
regular air consists of.
Even knowing all of the
above, I have to admit that I
was curious about whether
nitrogen could prolong tire
life and improve fuel econ-
omy.
knew that NASCAR driv-
ers used nitrogen-filled
tires and I heard that Volvos
came from the factory with
nitrogen in their tires. I
have a bachelor's of science
in physics from the Univer-
sity of Florida and a mas-
ter's of science from Pur-
due, so these kinds of
things interest me.
To find out for myself, my
dealership conducted an
experiment. We have a fleet
of rental cars and we filled
two tires of each car with
pure nitrogen and two tires
with regular air.
Over the course of many
weeks, we measured the
pounds of inflation in the
nitrogen and air-filled tires.
There was no difference in
the inflation levels of the
nitrogen vs. air-filled tires.
If there is no difference in
the inflation, there can be
no benefit from the nitro-
gen of better gas mileage or.
fuel economy.
You may have read my
column last week, "Beware
the phony Monroney." In
that column, I warned you


1p.


EARL STEWART
On Cars

about car dealers that add a
window sticker designed to
look exactly like the feder-
ally mandated Monroney
sticker.
This is where you should
look for dealer-installed
accessories and additional
dealer markups over the
manufacturer's suggested
retail price. Often, these
accessories have a high
price but a very low cost.
In the case of nitrogen in
four tires selling for $199,
this is exactly the case.
Since air is already 78
percent nitrogen, it costs
virtually nothing to extract
nitrogen from the air. To be
generous, let's say the deal-
er's cost is $10 including
labor. That is a 2,000 per-
cent markup when he
charges $199.
Just when I thought I'd
seen it all, I actually saw
window stickers on a car
today from another dealer
who had actually modified
the Monroney label to show

nitrogen-filled tires.
To do this, the dealer
actually had to remove the
real Monroney label, make
the modification showing
the nitrogen tires and re-
paste the Monroney label
to the window.
Federal law requires that
a Monroney label not be
removed until the vehicle is
delivered to the customer.
It also requires that it not be
modified. This new vehicle
was one we had traded for
from another dealer and
still had the counterfeit
Monroney and the modi-
fied real Monroney
attached to the window.
The modified Monroney
looked so authentic, that
one of my technicians and
my service manager
inquired about the necessi-
ty of Toyota carrying nitro-
gen tanks so that we could
refill these tires with nitro-
gen. If this could fool a Toy-
ota dealer's technicians and
service manager, it might
fool you too.
This particular dealer
also had another charge
added to the counterfeit
Monroney sticker, a $4,995
"market value adjustment."
Most prospective -cus-
tomers think this is part of
the manufacturer's recom-
mended retail price. They
either end up paying too
much money for the vehi-
cle or think they are getting
more for their trade-in or a
bigger discount than they
really are. It's easy to allow
an extra $5,000 on a trade-
in when you have already
marked the car up an extra
$5,000 over sticker price.

RELIGION



The strong faith of Abraham


braham grew up in
Ur of the Chaldees,
an important ancient
world city in southern
Mesopotamia (present day
Iraq), located 140 miles
southeast of the site of old
Babylon.
Mesopotamian people
developed many technolo-
gies, including glassmak-
ing, textile weaving, water
storage systems, irrigation
methods and metalwork-
ing.
The Bronze Age was
underway when Abraham
was born around 2166 B. C.
Ancient metal smiths used
expensive metals to make
armor and various
weapons such as swords,
daggers, and spears.
The people of
Mesopotamia used
Cuneiform, or wedge-
shaped script for writing,
utilizing a full alphabet.
They used a base-60
numeral system. This is the
source of our current 60-
minute hour. They also
worked out a 12-month
calendar, based on the
cycles of the moon.
Mesopotamians invent-
ed the wheel about 835
years before the birth of
Abraham. Early wheels
were simple wooden discs,
with a hole in the middle
for the axle. Commercial
fishermen used sailboats
on the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers.
They believed the world
was a flat disc, and that the


DAVID GOODE
Religion columnist

universe was born from a
vast body of water.
Astronomers studied the
stars and sky and accurate-
ly predicted eclipses.
Mesopotamian religion
was highly polytheistic,
meaning they believed in
many gods.
There was one man
living in Mesopotamia,
who distinguished himself.
He believed in only one
God. His name was Abra-
ham. How did he know
about Jehovah God, the
creator of Adam and Eve?
We can only speculate that
the story of creation, which
began in the Garden of
Eden, was passed down
through the generations by
oral tradition, by word of
mouth.
Genesis 12:1-3 says this;
"The Lord said to Abra-
ham, leave your country,
your people, and your
father's household, and go
to the land I will show you.


I will make you a great
nation and I will bless you.
I will make your name
great and you will be a
blessing. I will bless those
who bless you, and I will
curse those who curse you,
and all people on earth will
be blessed through you."
We don't know if God
spoke to Abraham in an
audible voice like he did to
Moses and Samuel, but
Abraham clearly heard
God tell him to leave
Mesopotamia.
This call of Abraham
begins the story of the
redemption of mankind.
This great nation that God
promised to Abraham
produced Christ, who
redeemed mankind on the
cross.
These three verses tell of
God's command and
promise to Abraham, and
his obedient response to
God. The results of his
simple act of faith spread
like ripples on the stillness
of a pond. Abraham's
willingness to obey God
bore a new nation and
blessed all people on earth.
God called Abraham to
leave familiar surround-
ings and comfort behind.
Even though he did not
know his final destination,
the 75-year old patriarch
had great faith. He left with
his wife Sarah and his
nephew Lot. They traveled
to Haran, a distance of 600
miles. Here, they accumu-
lated possessions, and
hired servants.


After praying to God with
great faith, Abraham,
Sarah, and Lot set out for
the land of Canaan,
present day Israel. This was
the second stage of their
journey and was a distance
of about 450 miles.
Shechem, Abraham's first
stopping place in Canaan,
was a vale, which was a
valley, of magnificent
beauty. Here, the Lord
appeared to Abraham and
said, "To your offspring, I
will give this land." Abra-
ham built an altar there as
a memorial to God.
Romans 4:3 tells us that
Abraham believed God
and it was credited to him
for righteousness. The faith
of Abraham pleased God,
and God faithfully lead
him to the promised land.
Just as Abraham believed
the promise of God, you
also, can believe and trust
God and he will lead you to
your promised land.

NICE CATCH


Hojo gets the call to the big club

Martin County
resident Howard
Johnson now a
Mets coach
By MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer L _


Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Jensen Beach High School's Cameo Kent leaps for a pass during their 48-43 victory
over Bishop Moore to win the 4A State semifinal in Lakeland Thursday, Feb. 22. The
Falcons went on to win the 4A State title Saturday, Feb. 25 against Dunbar.


Last season, you could
find Howard Johnson
coaching third base at
South Fork High School
baseball games.
This season, you will
have to go see the NewYork
Mets if you want to see him
in a baseball uniform.
The Hobe Sound resi-
dent was named the Mets'
first base coach this winter.
Johnson, 46, will be making
a return to the team he
made his name with as a
baseball player.
Johnson played 14 sea-
sons in the major leagues,
nine as the Mets third
baseman. He also played
three seasons with the
Detroit Tigers and one sea-
son apiece with the Chica-
go Cubs and Colorado
Rockies.
And after spending near-
ly 10 years as a minor
league coach, 2007 will be
Johnson's first as a major
leaguer.
"It's been great so far,"
Johnson said recently at
the Mets' spring training
facility in Port St. Lucie.
"Everyone looks healthy
and excited for the upcom-
ing season and of course
it's exciting for me because
it's my first year in the big
leagues. The team has a
chance to be in the World
Series again, so that's pretty
awesome."

Former All-Star Howard Johnson and current Martin
County resident was named the New York Mets' first base
coach this offseason. For the past two years Johnson has
been South Fork High School's third base coach, where his
son is the team's starting shortstop.


Johnson, whose son Glen
is a senior at South Fork
and the Bulldogs' starting
shortstop, has been one of
head coach Mike Harper's
assistants the last two
years. Johnson helped with
everything from batting
instruction to donations to
raking the infield after
practice. Harper calls John-
son his 'jack-of-all-trades'
and one of the favorite
members of the .South Fork
family.
The fact that Johnson has
a wealth of baseball knowl-


edge and experience is sec-
ond to how great an influ-
ence he has been on the
team said Harper.
So when Johnson got the
call from the Mets telling
him he had been hired as
the team's first base coach,
Harper wasn't surprised at
all.
"There was no doubt in
my mind that he could be a
big league coach," Harper
said. "He's good people."

Fork was) a little different
(than the Mets) but it was
fun," said Johnson. "It's fun'
to watch them get better
and (the major leagues) is
where they want to be one
day, so it's great. I get to see
the top guys and get to see
the high school kids too...
it's fun that I'm able to be
around and do that."
On Feb. 28, the Bulldogs
hosted a surprise party for
their former coach before a
big game against Palm
Beach Gardens. The date
coincided with the Mets
opening day at Tradition
Stadium.
The sendoff date served
as a perfect transition from
one coaching staff to
another.
But now Johnson must
get down to business as he
once again hopes to help
his team to a World Series
title as he did in 1986 when
the Mets defeated the
Boston Red Sox in seven
games.
Last season the Mets
were one game from win-
ning the National League
pennant and advancing to
the World Series. They lost
to the eventual World
Series champion St. Louis
Cardinals, four games to
three in the National
League Championship
Series.
"The expectations are
high and we set the stan-
dard pretty high around
here nowadays,"Johnson
said. "The chances are
good for us if we stay
healthy to repeat as divi-
sion winners and get fur-
ther, and that's the goal.
"The organization has
been great to me and I love
the guys here, and I pretty
much want to end my
career as a Met and this is
the way to do it."

Backing up your system


Computers, just by
their very complex
nature, are prone to
failure.
Ask anyone who has
used a personal computer
for any length of time, and
you will hear stories of
system lockups, illegal
operation errors, general
protection faults and more
cryptic messages.
Most of the error mes-
sages that pop up are so
technical in their wording
that even seasoned
professionals have no idea
what they mean. (Com-
puter failure is also the No.
1 reason why it's so very
important to backup your
system; problems occur all
the time, and without your
data backed up, you risk
losing everything.)
Usually, a simple reboot
will cure system lockups
and errors, but Windows
also has built into it a tool
called "safe mode," which
is specifically for trou-
bleshooting and correct-
ing reoccurring problems.
Perhaps you've seen it
before; Windows will often
boot up (load) into safe
mode after a power failure
or an improper shutdown
to give you the opportuni-
ty to correct whatever
problem is going on. You
can tell the system is in
safe mode because the
resolution and color depth
is reduced (the icons all
look bigger and the colors
are all fuzzy) and the
words "safe mode" appear
in all four corners.
But what is it for? What's-
the difference between
booting a machine in safe
mode versus a normal
startup, and how does one
get into safe mode deliber-
ately?
Booting your computer
in safe mode allows
Windows to load with only
the essential items neces-
sary for the system to run..
All the "extra" stuff that
loads on startup is
ignored, and just the core
operating system loads.
It does this because nine
out of 10 times, system
problems are not caused
by the operating system
itself, but by items or
programs that load after
Windows. By bringing the
system up with minimal
overhead, it makes trou-
bleshooting a finicky
system all the more easier.
In fact, often all that is
necessary to correct many
problems is to bring the
system up in safe mode
and then do a normal
shutdown to let Windows
clean itself up and then
boot normally.
When you click the start
button, then shutdown,
Windows goes through a
bunch of "housekeeping"
chores that clean up its
working environment, so
the next time it boots up
there is not a bunch of
stuff left over from its last
session.
Temporary files (Win-
dows' notes to itself), open
files and running process-
es all get closed during a


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This
normal system shutdown,
meaning, when the system
comes back up, it's not all
cluttered with "yesterday's
stuff."
That's why the system
usually pauses a minute or
two after you click "shut-
down" and before you get
the "it's now safe to turn
off your computer"
message. It's also the
reason your system may
boot up into safe mode if
you just hit the power
button instead of doing a
proper shutdown. The
system didn't have a
chance to clean up after
the last session, so it
comes up in safe mode to
clean up.
But cleaning up an
improper shutdown is not
all safe mode is for.
Without the extra
overhead, running pro-
grams in safe mode are
possible that may not
work after a normal
startup. Programs such as
virus scans, defrag,
scandisk, spyware scans
and other diagnostic
utilities will often work


better in safe mode
because in safe mode,
Windows does not have all
the files it normally does
in use; therefore, scanning
tools are able to scan files
without generating
sharing violations and
other problems.
In other words, if the
operating system does not
have the files it normally
has in use busy, then
things such as virus or
spyware scans are more
likely to succeed.
Bringing a system up in
safe mode also allows you
to uninstall or disable
problem software.
Let's say you have a
system that's acting all
"kerfiewey" (that's a
technical term) and you
can never get past the
Windows desktop before
the system crashes.
Booting the system in
safe mode will usually
allow you to regain control
of the machine, so you can
disable or uninstall the
problem program.
In normal mode, the
machine may be unusable,
whereas in safe mode, you
will usually have enough
control to clean up or
remove programs that are
causing issues.
So, how does one delib-
erately enter safe mode?
It's easy, but timing is
everything.
When you begin to boot
up your machine, there is
a short window of oppor-
tunity to hit the "F8" key
on your keyboard.

BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
When you think of
Boston's Fenway Park, the
Green Monster, almost
certainly comes to mind.
For Notre Dame, you
think of the Golden Dome.
At Indian River Commu-
nity College, it's "The Wall."
Towering over the
schools' swimming pool
and diving well, "The Wall"
is covered top to bottom
with every one of the pro-
gram's 56 combined
National Junior College
Athletic Association
national swimming and
diving championships.
And as the spring
approaches, IRCC swim-
ming and diving teams are
right on schedule. For
more than three decades,
IRCC swimming and div-
ing has been a national
power.


ga


Currently, the men's
team is looking to defend
its 32 consecutive National
Junior College Athletic
Association national
championships, while the
girls are looking to win
their 25th straight title.
First year head coach
Frank Bradley is handling
the pressure of the streak
in stride. As hard as it is to
downplay the significance
of the streak, Bradley, who
spent six years as an assis-
tant at the University of
South Carolina before
joining the Pioneers
coaching staff last year,
says that it just comes with
the territory at IRCC.
"It's hard to ignore it
because it stares you in the
face every day, and the tro-
phies are all over campus,"
said Bradley. "But it's just
not something that's
always thrown in (the
swimmer's) face because it

can get old. We just talk
about getting better and if
we can do that, I guess the
rest will take care of itself."
IRCC competes against
some of the top swimming
programs in the country all
year, and that doesn't
always mean other junior
colleges. In fact, when the
team travels to Buffalo,
N.Y. on March 7 for the
NJCAA Swimming and
Diving Championships, it
will be the first junior col-
lege competition they will
face all season long.
IRCC competed mostly
against Division I pro-
grams during their dual
season. More significant is
the fact that they won
them all.
But that is what the pro-
gram has developed into
over the last 30 years.
Swimmers come to the
school from all over the
country, and some even
leave their home country,
to swim for the River.
Knowing that they can get
a solid start to their aca-
demic career only accom-
panies the fact that' they
get used to a Division I
type swimming program.
When swimmers transfer
after two years, most with
scholarships to Division I
and II schools, they will fit
right into that colleges pro-
gram without missing a

beat.
"We get to see some of
the fastest people in the
nation, or in the world for
that matter," said sopho-
more Amanda Neubig "It's
encouraging to see that we
can keep up with them."
Neubig, who came to the
Treasure Coast, from her
home state of Oregon, will
transfer to the University
of Hawaii next year and
swim for the Warriors.
By having such a diverse
group of people on the
team, the squad is surpris-
ingly close. Almost all the
athletes live on campus,
which gives the swimmers
a sense of family, and
unity.
Sophomore Scott Baker,
who hasn't lost a 50-yard
freestyle race this season,
says that the tradition "The
Wall" represents is a con-
stant reminder of what
generations of swimmers
and divers have estab-
lished, and the IRCC swim-
ming community they are
a part of.
"You don't want to be the
first one (to lose the
national championship). It
pushes you. Every day in
practice you se that wall,
you want to go faster," said
Baker, who will attend
Florida State University in
the fall. "We keep it like a
family. We make sure that
we always say, 'even
though were not family in
blood, we're brothers, in
the water.'"
Maybe it is that feeling of
family and the "us versus
the world" approach that
keeps the swimmers so
humble and almost low
key when it March comes
around. As much as they
notice "The Wall," they

talking about the latest
hybrids introduced at the
PGA merchandising show
last month.
According to a recent
survey, only 30 percent of all
golfers have a hybrid golf
club in their bag. That
number is about to jump
significantly higher.
For years I refused to try
hybrids. I was convinced
that I still had the game and
talent to hit long irons. A few
months back, I joined the 30
percent or so of us who have
seen the light. The latest
hybrids are simply too easy
to hit. If you want a high,
straight ball flight from
myriad lies, without the'
usual difficulty associated
with hitting long irons,
hybrids are for you.
Hybrids have come a long
way in the past couple of

years, and now it seems that
every manufacturer has at
least one model in its lineup.
Even the pros are replacing
their long irons with these
easy-to-hit wonders.
Higher handicap ama-
teurs and ladies reap the
most benefit from hybrids.

control and playability that

At Tour Edge, you can
* select from an entire set of
hybrids for your bag. The
Chicago area company
offers hybrids all the way
from long iron replace-
ments to lob wedges. Many
golfers start out with the
longer clubs and as they
become more accom-
plished with them, replace
more of their regular sticks.
Tour Edge's Exotic line
features hybrids with
moveable weighting,
allowing golfers to set up the
club to better help their ball
flight and control. With the
company's Bazooka JMAX
QL, the weighting is fixed in
the ideal position to aid
most golfers and help you
simply hit the ball high,
straight and long.
One of golf's greatest
designing minds is Jesse
Ortiz. His line of hybrids,
from Bobby Jones Golf,
features a better- engi-
neered heel area and a hot
face area. Ortiz believes that
many of the problems
people have with hybrids
from the rough is that the
heel area catches the turf
too soon and closes the face

of the club. With his design,
the heel area doesn't have a
chance to grab and the
golfer is more likely to make
better contact from any lie.
On the Champions Tour,
Adams Golf is one of the
most popular hybrid lines.
The company offers a
forged hybrid with fantastic
feel for the better player, and
a more forgiving model with
a bit of offset and lower
weighting for the recreation-
al player.
These were the first
hybrids to make by bag and
I often find myself wonder-
ing why I waited so long to
put them there.
Bridgestone Golf unveiled
its GC Hybrid utility clubs.
These hybrids feature a
design that removes weight
from a chamber at the
center of the sole and moves
it to the heel and toe areas
for a higher MOI and more
workability.
These beauties feature a
progressive leading edge
design, where the leading
edge of the club gets sharper
as the loft increases, pre-
venting skipping off the turf
with the higher lofted
models.
At the show's demo day, I
made a point of hitting
several different hybrids.
Callaway's latest X Hybrid
was perhaps the best
performer for me. The new
sole design adds versatility
and helps the club get
through even the toughest
of lies and make solid
contact. At the company's
media event, I used the pair
in my demo bag to hit some
shots with very pleasing
results.
Taylor Made's new line of
hybrids uses the company's
draw technology to help
players get the club square
at impact. The heads,
coupled with a hotter face,
are also 12 percent larger
than last year's for greater
forgiveness.
Orlimar Golf is trying to
eliminate your slice. The
new ZXAnti-Slice line has
dramatically more offset
than standard hybrids.
When combined with an
ultra-hot face and heel bias
weighting, the recreational
golfer will find a club that is

extremely easy to hit long
and straight.
While most hybrids
appear similar, there are two
distinct types: more com-
pact, iron-like hybrids and
larger, more fairway wood-
like models.
Nickent Golf's senior vice
president, John Hoeflich
suggests that golfers demo
both before deciding which
one to put in their bag.
"I would ask a golfer what
his favorite club is for a 170-
yard shot. If he says 4-iron,
I'd direct him toward an
iron-like hybrid. If he says 7-
wood, then a more wood-
like utility club is probably


right," said Hoeflich.
It's time for most of us to
say goodbye to those long
irons and join the growing
crowd. You may find that
not only do you hit them
better, but you enjoy hitting
those longer shots.
I'm glad that I finally tried
hybrids, and they now have

W inning the game
of life starts with
the self-discov-
ery of our true gifts and
talents. Then we must
practice a lot to perfect
those gifts and talents.
There is a genius with
unlimited potential
living inside each of our
souls since birth, yearn-
ing to be set free. Privi-
lege, wealth, breeding,
education or experience
doesn't have a lot to do
with true success and
happiness in life.
Until we go inside and
find the fullness of who
we were destined to be,
bring it out and set it
free, we will always have
a hunger that hasn't been
filled.
Everyone living on
earth has been given 24
hours each day to use in
our quests for survival
and accomplishment.
Why is it that a few
people have all the
money and time they
need, while many are
constantly struggling and
never have enough time?
The answer to this
question is that truly
happy people live by
universal time rather
than the 24-hour clock.
In other words, we
either let the outer
mental, physical world
and people run our lives
for us, or we find a way to
go inside and begin to
get in touch with our
"true self."
Living by the world
clock is a lot like living
on a treadmill, moving

The Spirit Guide
getting nowhere fast. No
matter how much time or
resources we have, it is
never enough. Most of us
move too fast in life. Are
you in a hurry most of
the time? Do you have
patience?
If you answered no to
either or both of these
questions you are allow-
ing the world or other
people to run your life
for you. This is the world
of "quick fixes."
When we watch televi-
sion we are constantly
bombarded with compa-
nies offering miracle
cures and quick fixes for
everything from hair loss
to flat feet. Then they tell
us about the possible
side effects for using
their products, which,
most of the time, are
scarier than the benefits
described.
What, in universal sake
are we doing to our-
selves? What kind of life
is this? There is a far
better and greater way to
live.
What is it? It is learning
to live by universal time,
rather than by earthly
time. You can't see a child
growing every day.
Measure it every six
months and it's grown 2-,
3-inches or more. You


can't see a tree in the
yard growing every day.
Measure it every year and
it has grown maybe 5 feet
or more. In nature things
unfold in universal time.
Like mother earth. She
moves forward toward
the future, but lives one
day at a time. She doesn't
try to speed up and get to
next week today or stop
and go backward, trying
to relive the past.
It's a full-time job living
one day at a time, as the
old song says. The
process starts when we
get stressed or burned
out to the point where we
let life spin out of control
and want to run away or
give up or we break
down, physically, men-
tally or emotionally.
Have you ever been
there? Are you there now?
When this happens, it is
the universe's way of
slowing us down. The
finest horse can only run
one quarter of a mile at
full speed before it
begins to tire and slow
down.
What makes you think
that you can ignore
spiritual and universal
laws and keep on the fast
track without pain,
struggle or burnout? The
answer and solution to a
life out of control is
surrender to the universe
and a higher power. To
do this requires patience,
trust and faith in some
power greater than
ourselves. The best
teacher of this principle
is a garden.
The first thing we do is
let go of all the negativity
and trash to make room
for new life. This is true
in a garden, our homes

or lives. Next, we have to
make a plan. We have to
know what new creations
we want.
Then, like in the gar-
den, the seeds are plant-
ed, watered, covered up
and surrendered. Then
we wait. We don't go out
every day and dig the
seeds up to see if they are
growing. This would kill
them. This creates
patience, trust and faith
in the higher power. We
don't grow the crop. The
universe grows the crop.
Deep inside every seed
or idea living in the heart
is a desire to take root
and grow. The roots are
the blessing and connec-
tion between the physi-
cal seed and the source
or soil. Without the
universal blessing of the
roots the seed will not
grow. The same is true in
life. No matter what it is
we want, there must be a
universal blessing on the
idea or dream if it is to
come to life.
The promised land is
our higher self. When we
surrender to it, we
become like children
again. Now we are having
more fun. We have
created new spiritual
values and better ways to
run our lives. We have
finally gotten off the
treadmill. We have
become more loving,
peaceful and healthier.
We don't need "quick
fixes" anymore because
we are now healthy. We
have more time to do the
things we truly love.
Our true needs are
more spiritual by nature
than earthly. Because we


have more energy, our
creative capacity increas-
es and our finances
improve. We become
more spontaneous and
take time for simple
pleasures.
Most of all, we are now
happy with ourselves. We
wake up each morning
with gratitude in our
hearts and take a little
time, to meditate and do
our daily affirmations.
Next, we eat a healthy
breakfast to fill up our
gas tank and give us
energy for the days'
activities. Then we take
action on the top priori-
ties we need to address
first. The small stuff can
wait for later.
