Man killed after struggle with

Martin County Sheriff's deputy


Victim was
under a doctor's
care for a
bipolar disorder
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
JENSEN BEACH A
Jensen Beach man who
died from two gunshot
wounds after a violent
struggle with a Martin
County Sheriff's deputy
suffered from bipolar dis-
order, according to his
father.
On March 7, Martin
County Sheriff Deputy
Brian Youngblood
stopped Gary Vierow and
during a physical
encounter shot and killed
Mr. Vierow.
Larry Vierow, father of
Gary Vierow, said this


week his son had a bipolar
disorder, a condition com-
monly referred to as being
manic-depressive. Manic-
depressives are subject
toextreme mood swings.
, "Gary was bipolar, but he
took his medications reg-
ularly and he saw a psy-
chiatrist every month,"
said the elder Mr. Vierow.
In an Order of Court filed
in Martin County Circuit
Court on Nov. 24, 1999,
Judge Steward R. Hershey
appointed Larry M.
Vierow, father of Gary
James Vierow, his son's
limited guardian.
The. order states, "Mr.
Gary Vierow shall be con-
sulted with regards to his
medical and mental
health care and treat-
ment," and "with regards
to making decisions con-
cerning the social aspects
of his life, except that if in


making such decisions
they should become detri-
mental to his physical or
mental well being."
LarryVierow said he was
no longer his son's
guardian.
"I gave him back his
rights, but I took care of
his affairs for him," he
said.
On March 7, a 911 call
was made to the Martin
County Sheriff's Office at
11:27 p.m. The female
caller said there was
"police and a man on the
ground and the gun has
been shot two times."
Two minutes later,
Deputy Youngblood
reported "shots fired, sub-
ject down" on his radio,
and asked that an ambu-
lance be sent to the scene.
When it was all over,
Gary Vierow lay dead of

Law enforcement in

right place, at right

time to nab robber


BY RITA HART
Staff writer


SSTUART Martin
County Sheriff Lt. Wes
Starling and Detective
Mike Dougherty
received a call of a bank
robbery in progress, and
through a little luck and
some good police work,
ended up apprehending
the suspect.
The case started when
a man walked into the
Bank of America in the
Wedgewood Commons
Publix on the afternoon
of March 9, handed the
teller a note, and men-
tioned he had a gun.
He then fled the bank
with approximately
$2,000 in hand.


Authorities were
immediately alerted,
and Sheriff's deputies
waited at several inter-
sections throughout
Martin County for the
suspect. They did not
know what he was driv-
ing, but they did have a
physical description of
him.
Sitting in a Sheriff's car
at the corner of Indian
Street and Route 76 were
Lt. Starling and Detec-
tive Dougherty.
"We heard it on the
radio, and we hunkered
down at the intersection
and waited. We saw
someone matching the
description, and pulled

HAPPY 2ND


We had ourselves a simple plan,
To start a business hand in hand.

Just think how you'll feel with
permanent make-up.


We are sisters and we are friends,
We'll buff your nails and trim your ends.
We'll treat you right and handle you with care.
We'll freshen your face and brighten your hair
There have been many who've come thru our

Artist overcomes adversity


BY RITA HART
Staff writer

JENSEN BEACH -When
you walk into Lisa
Woodard's Backstreet
Gallery in Jensen Beach, it
is obvious she is an artisan
with a gift.


What is not so obvious is
that Mrs. Woodard lives
with almost constant pain
in the very hands and arms
that create her unique glass
pieces.
Mrs. Woodard was only 21
when she and the man who
would become her hus-
band were in a car acci-
dent. Mrs. Woodward's arm
was resting on the open
window when the car
flipped over, crushing her
hand in the process. When
she woke up three days
later, the thumb of her right
hand was gone, and the
knuckle on her index finger
was crushed, permanently
rendering that finger use-
less.
Now 52, Mrs. Woodard

ANNIVERSARY!


has undergone multiple
surgeries 'ever since,
including unsuccessful
attempts to reattach the
thumb and to use part of
her pelvic bone to create a
new thumb.
Because her upper
extremeties are overused in
order to compensate for
these injuries, she has
developed additional
problems with her wrists
and shoulders, including
severe pain that prevents
her from sleeping in any
position except on her
back.
Rather than feel sorry for
herself, 17 years ago Mrs.
Woodard decided to take a
class in Port St. Lucie on
how to make stained glass.
"It's either black or
white," said Mrs. Woodard
of learning the new craft.
"You either love it or you
hate it."
Mrs. Woodard loved it.
"But after 10 years, I lost
the learning curve," she
said. "There was nothing
left to learn. So I bought a
kiln, took a class in Lake
Worth on working with
fused glass, and the learn-
ing curve just hasn't
stopped."
Fused glass is also known
as warm glass to those who
work with it. The glass is
melted at about. 1500
degrees in a kiln, and then
slowly cooled. Different
colors of glass can be
stacked together, or the
glass can be colored using
enamels, which are
crushed glass in the form
of a powder.
"I never paint the glass,"
said Mrs. Woodard. "It's all
crushed glass powder."
Mrs. Woodard's artistry
and imagination have
turned fused glass into
decorative dishes, wall
hangings, jewelry and even
sinks.
"My sinks are not tem-
pered," said Mrs. Woodard.
"If you scratch them, they
won't fall into 100 pieces
like tempered glass."
Although Mrs. Woodard's
shop is in Jensen Beach,
the studio where she cre-
ates her pieces is in the
backyard of her home in
Port St. Lucie.
Each of the glass prod-
ucts made by Mrs.
Woodard is unique.
When describing one of
the pieces in her shop, Mrs.
Woodard explains that it is
called "jillion unity."
"Those plates are made of
one millimeter strings of
glass, and I use four layers,"
said Mrs. Woodard. "There
are a jillion ways you can
unite them."
When looking at the
unique pieces she has cre-
ated, it's difficult to under-
stand the struggle it must
have been for her to learn
her craft from people
whose hands work differ-
ently than hers do.
Dr. Robert Forster is Mrs.
Woodard's orthopaedic
surgeon.
"It's remarkable how
much she can do with so
many hurdles to over-
come," said Dr. Forster.
"She has the hurdle of not
having a thumb, and an

REVIEW
Two men face murder charges
in immigrant's death on Jupiter Island
The U.S. Attorney's Office has indicted two men on fed-
eral charges that include murder, in the Dec. 28 death of
illegal immigrant Nigel Warren on Jupiter Island.
Rickey Thompson and Leon Brice Johnson have been
indicted on charges of murder, alien smuggling and
importation of narcotics.
Mr. Thompson was the boat captain and Mr. Johnson
the first mate of a 35-foot smuggling boat that transport-
ed 11 illegal immigrants from the Bahamas to Jupiter
Island. The immigrants paid Mr. Thompson between
$1,500 and $4,000 for the trip.
Mr. Thompson, who drove the boat without lights to
avoid detection, forced the immigrants at gunpoint to
jump out of the boat before it reached shore.
Local authorities found the boat and a black duffel bag
containing cocaine and marijuana.
Mr. Warren, who did not know how to swim, was found
dead near the boat.
If convicted, both Mr. Thompson and Mr. Johnson face
a maximum sentence of death or life imprisonment on
the charges.

Teenager charged with felony
in Hobe Sound fire
Michael Alan Conrad, 18, a South Fork high school stu-
dent, was playing with a bottle rocket in his neighbor-
hood on March 5, when the device tipped over and start-
ed a started a fire.
Although Mr. Conrad, of the 8600 block of S.E. Nico-
lette Lane in Hobe Sound, initially tried to put the fire
out himself and then called 911 when his efforts were
unsuccessful, the fire quickly raged out of control and
eventually became a 15-acre brush fire. Embers from
that initial fire, blown by the wind to the south, sparked
another fire three miles away.
One firefighter was treated at the scene for smoke
inhalation.
Mr. Conrad has been charged with intentional or reck-
less burning of land, a felony.

Commissioner Doug Smith
contemplating run for Congress
Martin County Commissioner Doug Smith is consider-
ing a run for Congress in the 16th District, a seat current-
ly held by Democrat Tim Mahoney.
Mr. Smith has indicated he- will make a final decision
within six months.
He joins several other Treasure Coast Republicans to
express interest in U.S. Rep. Mahoney's seat, including
Thomas Rooney, a Stuart attorney, Hal Valeche, a coun-
cilman from Palm Beach Gardens, and Mike Mett, a Fort
Pierce business consultant.

Platinum
The platinum group met-
als comprise six closely
related metals: Platinum,
Palladium, Rhodium,
Ruthenium, Iridium and
Osmium.
Platinum (symbol PI) was
accepted as a precious
metal only after the sec-
ond half of 19th century
and has a deep luster and
a rich, white color. It is rarer
and heavier than all pre-
cious metals and consid-
ered to be more valuable
than gold.
Platinum Is often used to
set the most valuable
gems to produce the
finest jewelry.
Platinum holds gem-
stones most securely,
because Its strength and
neutral color enhances
the brilliance and depth
of diamonds and precious
stones. Because of its den-
sity and weight, you can
feel the difference
between platinum and
other' precious metals.
There are no karat marks
to identify platinum.
In the United States plat-
inum is usually marked: PT
or PLAT. In Europe, plat-
inum is Identified by the
following marks: 950 or
PT950. Since platinum is
the purest metal it rarely
causes an allergic reac-
tion. There is an increased
interest in platinum jewelry
both in the US and
abroad.

STUART In 1992,
Michael DeMarco was a
vibrant, smart, 18-year-
old, who was captain of
his football team, home-
coming king and was
headed to study environ-
mental engineering in
college then came a
traumatic brain injury.
His life changed in an
instant when a car acci-
dent left him with a trau-
matic brain injury, which
caused him to be in a
coma for five weeks and
in therapy for three years.
Brain injury survivors
often have significant
long-term disabilities and
medical complications
after receiving a brain
injury. The damage
ranges from mild to
severe, depending on the
extent of damage to the
brain.
Today, at age 32,
Michael lives in Port St.
Lucie with his parents
and suffers from severe
short-term memory loss
and has trouble walking.
Despite his disabilities,
he is successfully
employed for the city of

two gunshot wounds to
the torso, and Deputy
Youngblood was taken to
the hospital.
Lt. Jenell Atlas, spokes-
woman for the Martin
County Sheriff's Office,
said it appears Deputy
Youngblood made a traffic
stop at Lil Bit Lane in
Jensen Beach, and a vio-
lent struggle ensued.
Lil Bit Lane is a dead-
end road, two-tenths of a
mile from the intersection
of Jensen Beach Blvd. and
Indian River Drive.
"During the confronta-
tion, the suspect managed
to pin the deputy to the
ground and was striking
him," said Lt. Atlas.
"Deputy Youngblood shot
the suspect."
Lt, Atlas said after the
shooting, Deputy Young-
blood gave Gary Vierow
CPR. However, Mr. Vierow,
44, of 16 Vista Drive in
Jensen Beach, died at the
scene.
Deputy Youngblood was
transported to Martin
Memorial North because
of wounds received dur-
ing the struggle. He was
treated and released.
Deputy Youngblood has
been employed by the
Martin County Sheriff's
Office since March 1,
2006. He previously
worked as a police officer
for four years with the vil-
lage of Tequesta and for
more than five years with


the city of St. Petersburg.
Lt. Atlas said Mr. Vierow
was charged in 1998 by
the Martin County Sher-
iff's Office with driving
under the influence.
Mr. Vierow's father said
this was his son's only
arrest.
Deputy Youngblood's
patrol car was not
equipped with a dash-
board video camera.
Lt. Atlas said the deputy,
who has been placed on
paid administrative leave,
was carrying a standard-,
issue Gldck .40 caliber
weapon.
The Sheriff's Office also
reports that Gary Vierow
was stuck during the
struggle by Deputy Young-
blood's Taser.
The incident is under
review by the State Attor-
ney and Medical Examin-
er's offices.
Nita G. Denton, one of
the Assistant State Attor-
neys investigating the,
incident, could not com-
ment on the status of the
case at press time.
"It may be awhile before'
we can discuss it, because.

investigation," said Ms.
Denton.
Larry Vierow said this
has been an extremely dif-
ficult time for the family.
"The police haven't.

VIEWPOINT


FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2007 HOMETOWN NEWS WWW.HOMETOWNNEWSOL.COM


Got something to say?

Call the Hometown Rants & Raves line at

Callers are asked to refrain from making slanderous
statements. Statements of fact will be checked for
accuracy.


Distant no longer matters?

As we walk forward in this time of destruction of the
old, and implementation of the new, or in the language
of our humble commissioners, community redevelop-
ment agency districts, one has to wonder, have the pow-
ers that are the driving force behind redevelopment and
revitalization forgotten the phrase, "one nation under
God"?
It seems to this Christian that there may be a new stain
on the fabric of our little community; some might even
call it a burse on the soul.
Sadly, in today's guidelines and recommendations for
the redevelopment of Jensen's community redevelop-
ment agency, somehow the county guideline of 300 feet
in respect of two of the three "C's," churches and children
that form the third "community" has taken the low road.
How could our guidelines be less stringent then that of
the state? Once upon a time I was assured at a very
important neighborhood advisory committee meeting
that the county planner had made it perfectly clear to all
that you couldn't be less stringent then that of the state,
and yet with no regard the Jensen Bch community rede-
velopment agency has instead adopted this verbiage "no
separation requirements between places of worship, any
other use, page 14, No. 11. If one called the county
today, and the gave legal address for our church on
Church Street and places serving liquor, the distance
requirement is still 300 feet. Unfortunately, some of the
founding members of our "community" have decided
otherwise.
Now for the real question is, if the church came before
the community redevelopment agency, how could this
have happened?
I implore our commissioners, at the very least, please
be wise and gracious enough to reinstate our counties
ruling for the Jensen Beach Christian Church established
in 1909 and ironical enough on Church Street.

Hometown News photographer

In my opinion, there is someone on your staff that
brings life to your paper.
Mitch Kloorfain has a talent for catching the right angle
and action of the moment.
Nearly all of his pictures depict motion.
I knew him briefly at the mall when he was a freelance
photographer.
Your paper is lucky to have such talent.
I enjoy good photography. I'm only missing two things
to be as good as he is, equipment and talent.
Keep up the good work.

Homeowners insurance

I would like to know who is minding the store at the
state Attorney General's office.
They just had a television news thing about how Gov.
Crist is going to save us Floridians money on insurance.
Well, he is doing such a good job on working on this
that the major insurance companies are non-renewing
over half of their homeowners' policies.
This is appalling! It is an insult to the current holders. I
could see if they would not write any new policies for
new business.
Don't allow the insurance companies to cancel or
renew the current holders unless they would be deemed
habitual risk claimers, and make multiple clams in just a
few years. That would be justice.
I am currently with Nationwide Insurance, who, as
their TV commercial says, is on my side. Fooooie!
I've been a policyholder for more than 12 years. I have
never put in/a clam, except for the 2004 hurricanes,
which was a small claim.
I had to suck it up for all the increases they say were
justified for their losses of $1 billion.
My increases from 2004 were over 300 percent. That's a
lot of money. Now if you take that 300 percent increase,
times all the other policyholders, how much money does
that add up to? A whole lot more than you think!
If this letter is published, I would like the readers to
write, or e-mail the Attorney General's Office to voice
their opinion, and say, "We don't like what the insurance


companies are doing to our residents."
If they are not going to renew us, and only write home-
owners policies to whomever they want, they should lose
the right to sell any policy whatsoever, including auto,
life, boats, homes, compensations, etc., etc., etc., and be
thrown out of the State of Florida.

Still Laughing

Funny, I still chuckle when I think of the rant and the
rave that you put side by side last week, "Gasoline prices
rising again," by someone that has way too much time on
their hands wasting our time having to read how they
could change the world by voting their way in a few more
years.
Then you have, "It's a wonderful world," by someone
that seems to be replying to the first person before even
reading their junk.
My conclusion was that I would much rather have the
latter person as a neighbor than the first one!

Bicyclists and dog walkers

I walk my dog often. Most every time I come across a
bicycle rider, he or she does not let me know they are
there until they are on top of my dog and me.
Why not get a bell, ding-dong, or shout "heads up," or
"coming through," well in advance?
It happened again while walking down by the river. A
bicycle rider almost went down trying to avoid hitting us.
When I told the biker to give us a warning sooner, he
replied, "Get a shorter leash."
My dog is walked on a six-foot leash.
While on the subject of people and dogs, I'll add this.
There are still many irresponsible people who think
because they are not on their own property they do not
have to pick up after their animals. Does dog waste
spread disease and contaminate the water supply, if it's
not on your own property?
By the way, I completely agree with the "Televise ani-
mal euthanasia" rant. They show everything else.

Freedom of speech threatened

There are two very important bills that are winding
their way through the U.S. Congress that would seriously
inhibit the average citizen's ability to have freedom of
speech.
I want to urge you to contact your congressman, and
express your views on this.
One in the Judiciary committee is House Rule 254. It's
called the Hate Crimes Bill, arid I urge you to vote no on
this. This would take away our pastors' ability to preach
the Bible from the pulpit.
Special agenda groups are trying to get this Hate
Crimes Bill passed.
A pastor in Sweden was thrown in jail for six months.
They finally got him out. In Europe they have these Hate
Crimes laws, and you can't say anything about anyone.
The second problem is called the Fairness Doctrine.
They are trying to get that in so that broadcasters have to
give equal time to each view.
That means we would have to get rid of talk radio, and
all the new media that we have that bypass the main-
stream media's slanted views on news items. We wouldn't


be able to get the objective facts that we need.
The Hate Crimes Bill No. 254, in the U.S. House is in the
Judiciary committee right now, the Fairness Doctrine
that would give the Federal Communications commis-
sion, and other bureaucracies, more control over our
speech and thoughts than they have already.
I urge you to make your voices heard.

Concerned for kids

I hear there's an organization called Health E Teens.
Are they really interested in helping children, or mak-
ing more money for the drug companies?
If they are truly concerned with the health of our chil-
dren why then don't they address the problems of over-
weight, and under exercised teens and school children?
Look at all of the sicknesses this can cause. Younger
and younger children are having heart conditions, dia-
betes, and so on.
How about instead of our kids selling cookies and
candy to raise money for their education, they have
musical concerts and gymnastic shows or plays and
sports events to raise money?
What kind of message are we sending? Why is it always
a drug for a fix?
No wonder we have become a drug society.
I don't think the government should force our children
to be injected with a drug that we don't know what side
effects might occur in the future.

No room?

I notice that you ran the downtown Friday blooming
bash twice- same article, same paper.
Yet, you insist that you don't have room to run the free
library programs that the public can enjoy.
It's very confusing and baffling.
I'll bet you don't print this.

Buried alive

Recently, in a rant in the paper, the writer notes that
much of the mail he/she receives is from rescue sanctu-
aries across the country.
One, asking for money, arrived with a letter from an
outfit in California that said that wild horses are mur-
dered, shot, and beheaded-stop the massacre.
Another letter, from the local Audiubon Society was the
most appalling of all. It was to please send money right
away to rescue local gopher tortoises.
A local developer in St. Lucie County had just received a
state permit to bury gopher tortoises alive.
Imagine! The State of Florida issued permit to bury
gopher tort uses alive, with concrete over their burrows.
Of course, there are no pictures of a dying individual of
this endangered species.
Maybe the county needs the money, as they charge for
the permit.
It seems to me that the developers should be required to
relocate gopher tortoises, with state approval, before
they start construction.
What is wrong with the people of the United States, who
permit the torturing of wild animals, and burying them

Audra and Mike Shane-
man, along with their
daughter Grace, 2, take a
minute to rest on the big,
green rocking chairs
outside of Molly's House.

Molly
From page Al
receiving care from Mar-
tin Memorial Health Sys-
tem's facility.
Mrs. Shaneman said
she not only wanted to
be near her baby, but
also needed to feed her.
Staying in a local hotel
would have been costly,
not to mention there are
none close by the hospi-
tal.
"I had to feed Grace
,every three hours," said
Mrs. Shaneman, a Port
St. Lucie resident.
"I couldn't drive
because of the medica-
tion I was on from a
Cesarean section I had.
Molly's House was only
three blocks away and so
convenientt"
Mrs. Shaneman appre-
ciated the fact that they
allowed her to stay at the
house even though she
was local.
"Molly's House speaks
of a huge commitment to
this community and to
the health of this com-
munity. I feel very


Program prepares


students for work


blessed to have stayed
there," she said.
For Mrs. Shaneman
Molly's House was a
home away from home.
She said it was like
being at her grandmoth-
er's house cozy and
comfortable. And, the
attention to detail, right
down to the little fra-
grant soaps in the bath-
room, amazed her.
"It was a very peaceful
place for me and my fam-
ily," Mrs. Shaneman said.
Judith Cruz, executive
director of Molly's House,
said because it is a non-
profit organization the
Shaneman's were never,
charged to stay at Molly's
House.
"We don't charge for
the rooms," Mrs. Cruz
said. "We have a suggest-
ed amount of $20 per
night as a donation."
Mrs. Shaneman was
given one of the 12 bed-
rooms, and had access to
a well-equipped family
kitchen, dining area, liv-
ing room, children's play-
room and laundry facili-
ties.
The house also has two


family-style suites, each
with a private bathroom
for families.
Mrs. Shaneman stayed
until Baby Grace was
released, which was four
nights.
Molly's House was the
perfect fit for this family
in their time of need.
More than 12,000 fami-
ly members have stayed
at Molly's House, since it
opened in 1996.
Molly Sharkey, the
house's namesake, was
diagnosed with a rare
form of cancer in 1986.
She and her family
traveled often seeking
out treatment, which was
costly, and knew first-
hand that hospitality
houses for families of the
sick were hard to come
by.
Molly was only 18
when she died in 1992.
In honor of Molly's
dream to help the fami-
lies of other sick people,
her family and friends
pulled together to open
Molly's House.
The organization is still
running on private dona-
tions and not funded


through the government
or Martin Memorial Hos-
pital.
Mrs. Cruz said the
major fundraiser each
year is the Molly's House
Golf Tournament, which
has turned into an enor-
mous fundraiser.
Last year the tourna-
ment grossed more than
$100,000.
On March 29 and 30,
the 13th annual tourna-
ment will be held at the
Yacht and Country Club
of Stuart.
The fundraiser is for
families like the Shane-
man's, who need a peace-
ful shelter.
Mrs. Shaneman said
she feels blessed to have
used the shelter at
Molly's House.
"It's hard to believe
Grace will be 2 in April, it
seems like yesterday. Her
premature birth was less
stressful on our family
because of Molly's
House," Mrs. Shaneman
said.

STUART Chad Fote is
a teenager intent on tak-
ing the right steps to suc-
ceed.
Fote, a senior in the
drafting program at
Jensen Beach High School,
took part in the Steps to
Success conference in
2006 to help him reach his
career goals.
"It was very interesting
and hands-on," said Chad.
"It was good training for
the work force."
"Getting ahead of the
game" is the theme of the
this year's Steps to Success
Workshop, a program that
guides sophomore and
junior high school stu-
dents in the art of career
planning, resume writing
and professional behavior
in the workplace. The pro-
gram is in its seventh year.
The one-day conference
will be held March 23 in
the Susan H. Johnson
Auditorium of the IRCC
Chastain Campus in Stu-
art.
Conducted by the
Human Resource Man-
agement Association of
Martin County in partner-
ship with the Martin
County School District,
the conference is open to
sophomores and juniors
from Martin County,
South Fork, Jensen Beach
and Stuart Community
high schools, as well as for
students of the Clark
Advanced Learning Cen-
ter.
Debbie Banta, of Martin
County VACE, which
stands for vocational,
adult, community and
education, said, "The con-
ference focuses on 10th_
and llthgrade students


who are enrolled in the
career technical pro-
grams."
These programs include
agritechnology, industrial
technology, business and
finance, information tech-
nology, hospitality, health,
environmental sciences
and pre-engineering.
The conference includes
break out sessions on a
variety of topics such as
"Your Personal Game
Plan," and "Checkmate -
Dynamic Interviewing
Techniques to Keep You
Ahead of the Game."
When Chad attended
last year's conference, he
found the opportunity to
speak with experts in the
field he was most interest-
ed in to be an invaluable
experience.
"I was able to meet with
the actual contractors and
draftsman and the people
who actually work in that
field," said Chad.
Presenters this year
include human resource
professionals and busi-
ness development man-
agers, including Sophie

chair Eileen Morris in the
front row, was among those
enjoying the show; for a
night, everyone was 16
again.
After the concert, the
Beach Boys departed but the
party continued in the tent
with dancing and desserts
supplied by area restaurants.
John Loesser, the Lyric's
executive director and son of
legendary Broadway com-
poser Frank Loesser, has
seen the Lyric grow and
prosper in the seven years
he has been at the helm. He
recently reported to the
board of directors of the the-
ater that it has turned a net
profit of more then $1 mil-
lion since he took over,
which is most unusual for a
regional theater.
"I don't think Florida knew
what it had in the Lyric," Mr.
Loesser said. "I saw and
opportunity to take some-
thing that was great, tweak it
here and there and make it
even better than it was."
For Ethel Christen, presi-
dent of the Lyric's board and
a member of the gala com-
mittee, it was a celebration
Of the past and the future.
"It has taken us 80 years to
finally celebrate the remark-
able success of the Lyric in
the community and we look
forward to 80 more years,"
she said.
It was the Lyric's night, but
for many in the audience, it
was also about the Beach
Boys. Rapper RobVanWin-
kle, also known as Vanilla
Ice, was at the party as the
guest of Ed Donner, a child-
hood friend of John Loesser.
"The Beach Boys are awe-
some," he said.
The same could be said
about the entire night.

finger that doesn't work.
And yet she still continues
to forge ahead, and she is
doing intricate, demand-
ing, manual dexterity
tasks."
As a result of these chal-
lenges, when someone
first suggested to, Mrs.
Woodard that she attempt
to make jewelry from glass,
she initially resisted.
"I don't know why I
fought it so hard. It's the
dexterity thing. But once I
find my own way, I'm okay.
I can't watch how someone
else does it and do it the
way they do."
To emphasize this point,
Mrs. Woodard explained
that when her three chil-
dren were little, her
attempts to teach them
how to tie their shoelaces
was frustrating.
"I had to use my middle
finger to try and do it," said
Mrs. Woodard.
But because her children
had ten fingers and she did
not, "Eventually, I had to
have someone else teach
them," she said.
Mrs. Woodard said that
lately she is in constant
pain. Because her wrists
were used so hard to com-
pensate for the loss of fin-
gers, she eventually had to
have the bones in her
wrists fused.
"I'm sort of arm chal-
lenged," said Mrs.
Woodard, "but I'm also
strong-willed."
Mrs. Woodard said she
doesn't ever see herself
retiring from her craft.
"I don't think of it as
work," she said. "if it was
work, or mass production,
I couldn't do it."
Explaining that the,.fused
glass doesn't always' turn
out the way that she origi-
nally had in mind, Mrs.

Buying or refinancmg-- its a good y

time for a great home mortgage deal


The recent stagnation
in the housing
market may have
you feeling like there's no
good news in real estate,
but if you are looking to
buy or refinance your
home, now could be a
great time.
Reasonable loan rates,
combined with the
slackening in the resi-
dential market, are
creating great opportuni-
ties for homebuyers.
Whether you are
looking for a new home
for your family or a long-
term investment proper-
ty, today's low rates and
fast closings are making
standard fixed-rate
mortgages more appeal-
ing than ever.
If you already own,
refinancing with a 15-
year, fixed-rate loan can
help you cash in on some
of the equity you've built
in recent years, or pro-
tect you from future
spikes in an Adjustable
Rate Mortgage.
With so many mortgage
options to choose from,
finding the right one for
your situation can feel a
little like finding the
perfect shade of white
paint.
Here's how to sort it all
out:
Think ahead

Consider your plans for
the future, and look for a
home loan that fits.
Fixed-rate conventional
mortgages are still the
most popular.
However, with all the
variations now available,
your finances, assets, and
personal style have more
importance than you
might think.

Staying put or
moving on

Will you remain in this
house for a long time?
Or, will you want a bigger,
smaller, or better house
later? If you are staying put,
you'll want to get the best
long-term mortgage rate.
Fixed rate mortgages
dominate the market more
than ever now, and they are
the best option if you expect
to stay in your house for
many years.
If you do plan to move
again, you may be better
off with a shorter-term
mortgage.


TIM BUSBY
Riverside Nationa Bank

How long to pay

Most homebuyers
assume they'll get a 30-
year fixed-rate mortgage.
The rate is locked-in so it
will not change for the
life of the loan.
There are also popular
Adjustable Rate Mort-
gage loans, which can be
amortized during a
period of 15 year.
This lets you start out at
a lower interest rate, and
build up equity in your
home sooner.

Borrow for a
shorter-term

If you expect to move
within five years, and can
qualify for a slightly
lower rate, a five-year
Adjustable Rate Mort-
gage is for you. By amor-
tizing your loan over
fifteen years you pay off
the loan faster, translat-
ing into more resources
that you can invest.
This is especially good
if you have college
expenses coming up or
plan to retire within 15
years.

Plan for long-term
financial goals

Look at your mortgage
as a form of fixed savings.
The payback comes in
the form of a mortgage
interest deduction on
your taxes. Consult your
tax adviser and your
financial institution for
ways to maximize your
resources for your
financial plans.

Jensen Beach woman who posed as

corpse to foil ex-husband's plot dies


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

JENSEN BEACH Mar-
cia Hoar, 53, who posed as
a corpse with the help of
Martin County Sheriff's
detectives in 2005 after her
ex-husband tired to hire
hitmen from his jail cell to
kill her, died on March 8 of
unknown causes.
Ms. Hoar's mother found
her dead at Ms. Hoar's
Jensen Beach home. An


autopsy and toxicology
tests are being conducted.
In January, Christopher
Sheridan Hoar, 58, was
sentenced by Martin
County Circuit Court Judge
Robert Belanger to 45
years in prison; 30 years for
soliciting to commit first-
degree murder and 15
years for soliciting to com-
mit second-degree murder.
Mr. Hoar, while in prison
on an aggravated assault


charge that was later
dropped, attempted to hire
hitmen from his prison cell
in December of 2004 and
August of 2005 to murder
his ex-wife.
After receiving informa-
tion from confidential
sources, two Martin Coun-
ty Sheriff's detectives
posed as hitmen. Mr. Hoar
had offered them money
and vehicles for their serv-
ices.

Youth Summit 'enriches young citizens'


A n opportunity for
youth of the Treasure
I oast to learn about
careers is being presented
by the Youth Council of the
Workforce Development
Board at the sixth annual
Youth Summit.
The summit will be held
on Saturday, March 10, at
Indian River Community
College in Fort Pierce.
This year's theme is "The
power in Me Power-Up
Your IPOD (Individual
Professional Opportunity
Development)."
More than 400 youth
between the ages of 14 and
18 are expected to partici-
pate in this daylong activity
with a dynamic kickoff
keynote speaker, Dr. Joseph
Jennings.
Dr. Jennings is Founder


Treasure Coast Dermatology

Specializing in the Treatment of Skin Cancer


Tim oannides, M.D.

Jonathan S. Sanders, M.D.


Mohs Surgery

Diseases of Skin, Hair & Nails


and President of Second
Chances Outreach in
Atlanta, Ga., where he
developed the RAWDAWGS
Youth Corps program with
the Kanza Foundation.
RAWDAWGS offers an
alternative to gangs in the
inner cities of America. Mr.
Jennings was raised in
South Bend, Ind., and was
/ taught the lifestyle of gang
and drug-related violence.
He has overcome this
past and is now an interna-
tional anti-drug/anti-gang
motivational speaker.
He also served as a
"National Youth Advocate"
in President George W.
Bush's Advisory Council on
the Prevention of Aids/HIV
in America.
A career fair will provide
participants the opportu-
nity to visit over 24 work-
stations to learn about
various careers, ranging
from being a lineman for
Florida Power, to working
in healthcare and educa-
tion fields. They will be
able to meet and discuss
with various community
business leaders and find
out the particular career
details. Participants can
find out what background


is needed for a particular
job, what educational
requirements are needed,
what future one might
have in the business, and
what salary one might
expect.
In addition to the career
fair, each youth will be
able to select one of 13
power sessions consisting
of two workshops or paths.
Path One will center on a
career focus, and Path Two
will target life skills.
One such power session
will focus on the career
path, where one will learn
about the workforce and
challenge the youth to
what they know about jobs
and careers.
The companion lifestyle
path will help youth to
learn better decision-
making skills and tech-
niques to create inner
peace and clear thinking
in stressful situations.
Another power session
will have a career focus on
the way to a brighter
future through education
with the companion life'
skills, targeting the mes-
sage of self-respect, self-
worth, and self-control.
To attend the Youth


Summit, a youth must be
affiliated with a structured
program and accompa-
nied by agency chaper-
ones. If an individual is
interested in attending
and is not affiliated or
belong to a structured
youth program, he/she
may contact Diana Rew at
the Workforce Develop-
ment Board at 772-335-
3030, ext. 8-39.
Each year the summit
has grown and has been
very successful. The youth
have continually noted
their enjoyment of the
summit and a majority (of
those not graduating) look
forward to returning the
following year. This event
is a positive development
of the Youth Council and
one that enriches the lives
of our young citizens of
tomorrow.

Vitamin


D helps


calcium


work
This week's column,
which was planned
weeks ago, is about
vitamin D and calcium.
This seems to be a timely
subject since recently, my
good friend, Arlene Borg,
"The Grammy Guru,"
wrote in her column about
taking too much calcium.
I just wanted to remind
readers that no one should
stop taking medicine or
supplements without talk-
ing to a doctor.
Women who are older
than 50 should talk to the
doctor about testing for
bone density and osteo-
porosis.
Most importantly, every-
one should remember that
with medicine, one size
does not fit all..
You need to have your
own calcium needs evalu-
ated and take appropriate
measures that are right for
you. Do not stop taking
medications or supple-
ments because you read
about it somewhere.
As part of ongoing moni-
toring for osteoporosis, my
doctor recently ordered a
test of my body's level of
vitamin D.
I was surprised, because
I didn't know of any con-
nection between vitamin D
levels and a risk of osteo-
porosis.
I then learned that the
body uses vitamin D to
absorb calcium and that
many people who take cal-
cium supplements or med-
ication to treat osteoporo-
sis are not getting all of the
benefits they should
because of low levels of
vitamin D.

GUY'S ITALIAN
SAUSAGE WITH
BROCCOLI RABE
REGULAR AND
LOWER-FAT VERSIONS
SERVES 4

My son Guy created this
delicious recipe. Try it with
whole wheat pasta.

2 pounds Italian sausage,
mild or hot
2 tablespoons extra virgin
olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, peeled
and cut-up
1 bunch broccoli rabe
(rappini)
1/2 cup dry white wine
chabliss or chardonnay)
1 cup chicken broth
Salt, pepper and crushed red


Today we're going to make
two of my favorite
vegetables and a straw-
berry angel dessert from Linda
Ratcliffe who has been using
this recipe since 1979.
When I asked for a dessert
made with angel food cake,
gelatin, strawberries and
possibly ice cream, I had no
idea how many variations
there were out there.
My first veggie choice is
broccoli rabe (pronounced
rob), also called rappini, a
green that tastes nothing like
regular broccoli. It has a
slightly bitter, peppery flavor.
The next choice is eggplant,
which in my opinion, is a
vegetable that needs a lot of
help to make it palatable. If
you've ever tried steamed
eggplant, you know what I
mean. It contains a great deal
of iron and can be bitter.
When eggplant is fried, it
absorbs oil like a sponge. If
eggplant is salted, the salting
removes the bitterness and
changes the oil-absorbing
properties.
Enjoy! See you next week.

Week of 03-16-07

Aries-March 21-April 19
Soon it will be Aries' turn at the helm of the zodiac.
When this happens, it coincides with the beginning
of spring. Now is the time to try new things and
plant new seeds. It is also time to celebrate the victo-
ries of the past year. This keeps the heart fresh and
motivated to try again. Life's energy ebbs and flows.
You have been and will continue to move your goals
and dreams forward. Sometimes it takes longer than
planned. Never give up. It's all going to be OK.


Smart Shopping:
The Guru's
Money-saving Tips

When cooking broccoli rabe,
add a package or bunch
of less expensive greens
such as spinach, kale, escarole, etc.
The broccoli rabe will flavor the dish,
and you'll have a lot more
to go around.


The Guru's
Special Hint
Heavy cream doubles when whipped.
One pint.(2 cups) will equal
4 cups, whipped.


pepper to taste
Several sprigs fresh parsley,
chopped, or 1 teaspoon,
dried
1/2 pound angel hair or
penne pasta (cooked)
Parmesan cheese, grated

Cut up broccoli as
explained in recipe above.
Brown sausages in skillet,
pricking them occasionally to
release fat. For a lower-fat
choice, brown sausages in a
350-degree oven on racks. Slice
sausage in bite-size pieces.
When almost done, remove
sausage from pan and set
aside. Add oil and garlic to pan,
let brown until golden. Add
broccoli.
Cover to cook slightly. Raise
heat and add wine. Cook until
wine reduces slightly. Add
broth, seasonings, parsley and
sausages
Cook covered until broccoli
is tender and sausages are
cooked thoroughly.
Serve over pasta, sprinkle
with cheese.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Sometimes life's events don't turnout as
planned. This is why it is so important to be flexi-
ble and have a backup plan if number 1 doesn't
work out. You might call this "growing pains."
Because you are optimistic, you will succeed and
things will work out. Just be patient and keep on
learning, teaching and communicating your
desires. The next two months will show steady
progress if you hang in there and refuse to give
up.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Your spirit is strong. Your heart is open to change
and new adventures. You love nature and all
forms of life. You have wanted more in life. It is
on its way. Just give thanks when it comes. Bal-
ance is the key. Remember that you are an indi-
vidual first and then a team player. Don't ever
lose sight of your own dreams and goals. All
future success depends on how much you honor
your own worth and presence first. When you are
happy, others around you are happy.


The Guru's
Special Hint
When using hot and sweet sausage
in a recipe, cut hot sausage
in larger pieces or leave whole.
Then spear with a toothpick.
They will be easier to identify.


Let's Talk
Grammy Guru is available for talks;
call (772) 465-5656
and leave a message.


Cancer-June 22-July 22
You have so much heart. You care so deeply. You
are doing an excellent job with your life. You are
admired from near and far. Just be sure to keep a
sharp focus on the two or three most important
issues in life right now. The less important ones
can wait. Keep on your search for life's deeper
mysteries. Reading, writing and studying should
be your top priorities. This inner quest is what
makes you really happy, healthy and feeling abun-
dant.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
With all the new responsibilities coming at you, it
is very important to keep on delegating or letting
go of lesser things. Consult your instincts and
inner guidance. It knows. It's like a radar that is
constantly beaming ahead and telling you from
the first impressions on when to act and when to
wait. This is your best and most trusted friend
when you are in touch with, listening to and trust-

W[ e are just about
as happy in life as
we make up our
minds and hearts to be.
It's like the old Indian
grandfather who was
trying to explain how life
works to. his grandson.
"There are two wolves
inside us," he said. "One is
happy, benevolent and
protective and the other is
hungry, ravenous and
wants to devour every-
thing in its path."
"Which one will win?"
asked the grandson,
"Whichever one you
feed," replied the grandfa-
ther.

in the soul that comes
from creating positive
causes that use our
natural gifts and talents.
I once asked 50 people
what they wanted most in
life. The answers were
about even between
money, love and happi-
ness. These answers are
indications of hunger or
lack. This usually comes
from not feeling worthy to
claim happiness. This is
based on guilt, judgment
and low self-esteem.
Here is where choices
come in.
Do you want to let
others control your
happiness for the rest of
your life or do you want to
create better ways to
realize the desires in your
heart?

Finding happiness

True and lasting happi-
ness comes from attend-
ing to the basic funda-
mentals of human
existence: love, peace,
health, abundance, faith
and happiness.
Happiness is the result
of nurturing those funda-
mentals (or causes) in
our hearts and caring for
them until they are
rooted, blooming and
fruitful. No one can make
you happy all the time if
you don't have positive
causes growing in your
own heart first.
When we let war,
hatred, disease, poverty,
fear, guilt, sadness or
bitterness take over our
minds, we are on a path
of personal destruction.
Then we search for others
on the same path and
begin to complain,
criticize or condemn the
world or others for our
misery.

ing it. Its main job is to keep
you on the happy side of life.
It's the real you talking.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You are much happier when
you get things done in an
orderly manner. The key is to
not take on too many respon-
sibilities at once. Make a plan
for the next three, six and
nine months. Spread it out.
You don't have to do every-
thing at once. You always
seem to find the second wind
you need to keep going. It's
most important that you pace
yourself every day so you
have some energy left just for
you. Refuse to let worldly
stresses pull you down.

Libra-Sept. 23-Oct.22
You have many. blessings.
You were born with a strong
mind, a wonderful heart and
a great spirit. When the uni-
verse was created, you were
a role model. You are a loyal
friend, parent and compan-
ion. You always have a kind
word for others with a need.
You don't ask for much back.
You always get the job done.
Keeping these strong values
in focus will continue to
reward you with many bless-
ings, which you truly deserve.
Your guardian angels love
you.


Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Move away from feeling like
you are just surviving. You
have forged a new and better
life for yourself the past year.
You are a teacher, helper and
a good friend. You are doing
great with focus issues. You
are more centered. You are
psyched up and moving for-
ward. With 'your large heart,
you don't stay down long.
You bounce right back. You
have a mind of your own,
thank you. Listen to the
advice of others, but make
your own final decisions and
all will be well.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You continue to be a light for
others wanting to grow uni-
versally and spiritually. Stay
focused on your source and
the power within. Life is an
adventure for you. More is on
the way. Your strong con-
science continues to guide
you and give you good judg-
ment when making deci-
sions. Just be sure to keep
your body well fed, exercised
and rested. It takes strength
and determination to devel-
op a life strong and fruitful.
You were born to do it.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Sometimes less is more.
When you feel overloaded in
life, stop and take a walk
around the block. You have
strong insights into, life and
desires. Refuse to let others


stress you beyond your limits.
Say no when you don't want
to do certain things. This buys
you time, space and allows
you to regroup and move for-
ward. You are not one to be
held down long. The best
part is that you finish what
you start. Stop, take a look
within and know that the uni-
verse is there for you and is
your best friend.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The moon, Mercury, Mars and
Neptune are all in Aquarius.
The early part of this year has
blessed you in many ways. It
has sharpened your mind,
further opened your 'heart,
enhanced your creativity and
continues to protect you. You
are hot right now. You are a
winner. Whatever you want
to do and take actionon will
generally work out. This gives
you a full head of steam mov-
ing into spring. Much more
success and positive results
are on the way.

Pisces-Feb. 19- March 20
Your personal growth and
understanding continues to
grow. Most others around
you think that you make it all
look so easy. If they only
knew how hard you work at
your life and responsibilities.
Anytime you feel over-
worked, it is a sign of trying to
do too many things at once.
You are great at dealing with
stress. When you begin to

WHERE THERE'S
SMOKE, THERE'S...
If you see white smoke coming
from your vehicle's tailpipe, water
and antifreeze are probably enter-
ing the cylinder, creating steam. If
so, this most likely means that
the engine has overheated, which
caused the head gasket to fail,
thereby allowing antifreeze and
water to leak out. Blue smoke
coming out of the tailpipe is
caused by engine oil entering the
cylinder, where it is being burned
along with the fuel mixture. If so,
the auto technician must test to
see which seal, gasket, and/or
0-ring failed and is allowing the
oil to seep through to the cylinder.
Finally, black smoke is an indica-
tion of excess fuel in the cylinder
that cannot be completely
burned.
If you notice any peculiar smells,
or white smoke coming from your
exhaust you may have a problem
that will need immediate atten-
tion. At ADVANTAGE FORD OF
STUART, we can perform any
needed repairs including replac-
ing head gaskets, seals, and 0-
rings. The technicians at 4000
S.E. Federal Highway are trained
to do safe and effective work on
your vehicle. Call 772.781.6540
to schedule an appointment today.
We have great cars, quality serv-
ice, and great prices fi it's all here
waiting for you.
HINT: Black smoke caused by
excess fuel in the cylinder, or
"running rich," may be due to a
faulty fuel pump, a leaky fuel
injector, or a faulty engine com-
puter or computer sensor.

Microsoft's New C
is Likely to Increase Ha
(Syndicated News) As the worldwide gen-
eral availability date for Microsoft's Windows
Vista system quickly approaches, computer
users around the globe are anticipating the
increased hardware requirements that the
system will need. Graphics cards, increased
CPU size, and larger RAM requirements are
just a few of the many areas that experts are
warning users about. This is especially note-
worthy for businesses, who will likely be
forced to make the upgrade in order to
remain competitive whether they want to or
not. The issue, says Fast-teks' Cari Diaz, is
less focused on the Vista system itself than it
is on installation.
"Hardware installation especially on a
large scale in the case of businesses can
become a huge headache if it's not done
properly," says Diaz. "It's advisable for hard-
ware to be installed by professionals."
Fast-teks (http://fastteks.com) is a nation-
wide, on-site computer service company
which specializes in both residential and
business hardware installation and mainte-
nance. They offer a free systems check on all
service visits, to see what each computer
needs in order to run Vista. Companies such
as Fast-teks have put together several rec-
ommendations for consumers interested in
running the Windows Vista system, many of
which are aimed at upgrading existing sys-
tems on PC's.
1) Doniload and run Windows Upgrade
Advisor. The Upgrade Advisor examines a
computer and provides a summary of the
Windows Vista versions that can be run on
that computer. The report is also convenient
to have on-hand to show your installation
professional.
2) Check your CPU. Anything below 800
MHz is too low for Windows Vista to run
properly. Your local Fast-teks technician can
advise you on upgrades if you fall below
minimum requirements.


background that is in
charge of how that partic-
ular part functions.
And they all have to run
together harmoniously.
I'm not talking about a
few little programs or
drivers, there are literally
thousands of things going
on in the background at
any given second and
sometimes Windows can
get overwhelmed.


operatingg System
trdware Requirements
3) Examine your computer's memory. 512
MB of RAM is minimum; most users will
want at least 1 GB of system RAM to ade-
quately run Vista. Fast-teks can assist in
choosing a memory upgrade, and can have
it installed on your computer within min-
utes.
4) Verify hard drive capacity on your com-
puter. Windows Vista requires a hard drive of
at least 40 GB in size, including 15 GB of free
space.
5) Check your graphics adapter. "Many
people are unfamiliar with graphics
adapters," says Diaz, "which is unfortunate
because a big requirement of Vista is the
graphics portion of the program. Fast-teks
can assess your computer and provide ade-
quate upgrades in order to eliminate any
confusion."
6) Look for a DVD drive on your computer.
If you don't have one, you won't be able to
install Windows Vista. If you don't have one,
however, there's no need to fret. "DVD drives
are something that our technicians can
install at a relatively small cost," says Diaz.
7) Back up your data. According to experts,
this is one of the most important (and often
overlooked) steps when upgrading a system.
"This is where we shine," states Diaz. "We
provide complete data protection solutions
for both businesses and individuals at a rel-
atively small cost."
Fast-teks also offers training services for
individuals or large groups, meaning that
you can not only have Windows Vista
installed, but you (or your office) can receive
training on how to use the new programs.
"It's the complete solution. From installa-
tion to training to follow-up, we can provide
the solutions that individuals, or businesses,
need to stay current," says Diaz.


Frankly, I'm surprised
that computers even run
at all without crashing
after five minutes of up
time.
I always have to smile
whenever I hear anyone
say, "I wasn't even doing
anything and it just locked
up."
Sure, you weren't doing
anything, but the comput-
er is still as busy as a one-
armed paperhanger.
Consider this: even if
you are just sitting there,
hands completely off the
mouse and keyboard, the
computer is constantly
(and I do mean constant-
ly) looking at the keyboard
and mouse for any
change.
It's also re-painting
whatever's on the screen
60 to 70 times a second,
checking to see if it's time
to start the screen saver,
listening to network or
modems connections for
incoming calls and more.
So even if you are not
doing anything, the
computer is still very busy
just waiting for you to do
something.
And that's not even
considering the hundreds
of other things it has to do
just to keep the desktop

alive and stable.
That's why Windows can
sometimes become
overwhelmed and freeze
up.
So, what do you do about
it when it happens?
Let's go through a
common scenario.
Say you are surfing the
Internet and you click a
link, the page loads and
you start reading. You get
to the bottom of the page
and go to click somewhere
else, but the pointer is just
an.hourglass and you can't
click anything.
Or, maybe the pointer
looks fine (no hour glass)
but still, nothing happens
when you click.
What do you do then?

First, don't panic.
It usually doesn't mean
the computer is messed
up. It usually means that
Windows got bogged
down somewhere and
needs a "little nudge" to
get it back on track.
I usually try to get the
computer's attention by
trying a couple of different
keyboard commAds. I'll
hit the escape key (usually
at the top left-hand side of
the keyboard) to divert the
machine's attention from
whatever it's stuck on.
Sometimes this all it
takes, and sometimes not.
If hitting the escape key
doesn't work, then I try the
"three finger salute."
With one finger, press
and hold the "CTRL"
button, then with another
finger press and hold
"ALT" and with a third,
press "DELETE." It's
important to be pressing
all three buttons at once
as pressing them and
letting go will do nothing.
Once you press ctrl, alt,
delete, a Windows security
window should pop up
that gives you the options
to "lock computer," "log
off," "shutdown," "change
the password," "open the
task manager" or "cancel."
Click on the task manag-
er button and make sure
the "applications tab" is
highlighted and in front.
On the applications page
you should see your Web
browser listed (or whatev-
er program you were
running when you lost
control) often with a
comment of "not respond-
ing." Click it so it becomes
highlighted and then click
"end task."
After a moment or two, a
message should pop up
asking if you want to wait
for the program or end the

EGGPLANT
PARMESAN
SERVES 4

3 medium eggplants
Salt
2 eggs or egg whites or
equivalent amount of
egg substitute
11/2 cup water
I cup lliii.
1/4 teaspoon black
pepper
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Canola oil
Seaoined tomato sauce
(recipe follows)
Grated Italian cheese
8 ounces of mozzarella,
regiila or low-fat, sliced

Peel eggplant and slice
in scant 1/4-inch rounds.
Layer in a large colander,
sprinkling each layer
genIe oisly wiih salt. Place
colander on a dish or in
the sink. Put a plate on top
of the eggplant and top it
with a weight.
I use a pot full of water,
My grandmother used to
have a "pet rock." She
would wrap the rock in a
towel and place it on top of
the plate.
Let the salt "bleed" the
eggplant for one to two
hours. A brown liquid will
drip out of the colander,
This extra step will pro-
duce a better-tasting end
result.
When the time is up,
rinse several slices of
eggplant at a time and
squeeze.
There are many different
ways of preparing the
eggplant. I do not use
breadcrumbs; they absorb
too much oil. By using a
flour then egg wash
process, the oil you use
will be minimal,
Beat the eggs and water
together. On a plate or
piece of waxed paper, mix
flour, pepper and parsley.


Dredge the eggplant
slices in flour mixture,
then in cgg \ .. Fry in a
small amount of canola oil
until golden on each side.
Drain on paper towels.
Place a small amount of
sauce in an oven-proof
casserole. Layer eggplant
with a sprinkling of grated
cheese, slices of mozzarel-
la and some sauce. Con-
tinue layering, ending with
sauce. Bake in a 350-
degree oven for 20 to 30
minutes until heated
through,

SEASONED TOMATO
SAUCE

Any kind of canned
tomato sauce can be used.
When making your own,
use a little oil from the
fried eggplant, it imparts a
great flavor.

2 (8 ounce) cans tomato
sauce
1 large clove garlic,
peeled and chopped
1/4 teaspoon oregano
Dash of salt and pepper

Chop garlic and saute in
oil. Add tomato sauce and
equal amount of water.
Add oregano, salt and
pepper and let cook for
about 10 minutes.
Note: By adding cooked
ground beef, ricotta and
mozzarella, you can create
a complete dinner.

LOW-FAT EGGPLANT
PARMESAN

Prepare eggplant as in
original recipe, but do not
fry. Generously treat a
cookie sheet with veg-
etable oil spray. Place
eggplant in pan in a single
layer and spray tops
generously. Bake in a pre-
heated 425-degree F. oven
for 15 minutes or until
browned.
Prepare the sauce
without using oil, substi-


tute cooking spray.
Prepare casserole and
bake as per regular recipe.

STRAWBERRY
DELIGHT DESSERT
REGULAR OR LOW-
FAT AND LOW-
SUGAR

This is a large dessert
and will feed more than 20
people.
The choice of fat-free
whipped topping over
whipped cream will make
this a low-fat dessert and
the choice of sugar-free
gelatin will make it a great
dessert for those who must
restrict their sugar intake.

2 cups water
1 (5 serving size) pack-
age strawberry gelatin,
regular or sugar-free
2 (16 ounce) packages
frozen strawberries
(unsweetened)
1 store bought angel
food cake
2 cups (1 pint) heavy
whipping cream or 1
large (12 ounce pack-
age) whipped topping

In a medium-size pot
bring water to a boil, then
add gelatin, stirring well.
Lower heat and add 1-1/2
packages of frozen straw-
berries and stir until they
separate. Remove from
stove,
Cut angel food cake into
1-inch cubes and arrange
in a 9- by 13-inch glass pan
until all of the cake is used
and the bottom of the dish
is completely covered.
Reserve about 1 table-
spoon of the
strawberry/gelatin mix-
ture for the topping. Pour
the remainder over cake
cubes until entire bottom
of pan is covered.
Chill overnight. Top
dessert with whipped
cream or topping com-
bined with the 1 table-
spoon of liquid saved from


the day before. Cut the
thawed 1/2 bag of straw-
berries in half and arrange
on top.

WHIPPED CREAM

Whipped cream is both
the easiest and the most
difficult topping to pre-
pare. It is extremely tricky
to catch it just right before
it turns to butter.

1 pint (2 cups) heavy
shippi ng cream
2 tablespoons or more
of confectioners sugar

Use a high, narrow bowl.
Chill bowl and beaters if
possible.
Using an electric mixer,
beat cream at high speed
until frothy. Add sugar and
continue beating, watch-
ing the cream very careful-
ly. It will start to thicken,
continue beating scraping
bowl occasionally. The
cream is whipped when it
starts to have a slight
"lreiik-oup" look. (Over-
beating by just a few
seconds will suddenly turn
the cream to butter. It will
become a mass with water
around it.)
Makes enough to frost
two 8- or 9-inch layers.

W iy are there not
More men in
church?
As a pastor and a man, I
struggle with that question
and with actually getting
more men there.
What would it take to get
men to church?
The truth is that I know
some ways to get men to
church. It's just that many
of them aren't, well, "spiri-
tually correct."
We could advertise
"happy hour," but I think
they would be suspicious
that something other than
beer might be on tap.
We could invite the Dallas
Cowboy cheerleaders, but I
think at that point we
would be guilty of leading
them into temptation.
We could offer to pay
them, but somehow the
motive and the money
would be lacking.
But I'm not convinced
that there aren't spiritually
correct ways to get men to
church.
I just need your help to do
it.
First of all, I'd love you to
help me find some of the
reasons that more men
don't go to church. I've


thought about it some and
will offer a few of my ideas.
I would love to hear your
input and feedback.
One reason that church
may scare some men away
is simple: many of us don't
like to dress up.
Who invented ties any-
way? What were they think-
ing? Have you ever noticed
that if you pivot the tie to
the back of your neck and
hold it up, it looks a lot like a
noose? And it feels like one,
too, sometimes even when
it's in front.
Why would we want to
get in some stuffy clothes
and sit still for an hour?
Which leads me to my
second reason.
We don't like to sit still.
Well, that's not entirely true.
Many of us have been
known to do so for hours on
the couch holding a remote.
Maybe we should hand
out remotes at church.
We men also tend to be a
little better at doing Instead
of being and church some-
times just feels like sitting
thee and being, when we
want to be challenged to do
something.
Some men are scared
away from church by what I

would call some rational
stumbling blocks.
It's not that they don't
believe in God, it's just that
some of the things the
church has historically
stood for just don't seem
rational. (And, after all, isn't
rationality more valued
than emotion in many
men?) 0
Take science and religion
for example. Though I've
explored that topic before
in this column, I think there
is a perception by many
men that, "If I go to church,
I have to leave my brain at
the door." And we're kind of
attached to our brains.
Of course there's the
stereotypical "independent
male" who believes he
doesn't really need anybody
else. He's not interested in
God or in any other rela-
tionship except as it bene-
fits him.
To put it simply, he just
"doesn't need it" (religion or
God) as far as he's con-
cerned.
I think another big reason
that men squirm out of
their pews is the "relation-
ship" language of many in
the faith community.
There is a lot of talk about
a "relationship with Jesus
Christ" which, in our
homophobic society can
"weird us out" as men.
Some of the music sung
in churches, oh yeah, we're
uncomfortable singing in
public, too, speaks of "ador-
ing" Christ or being "in love
with Jesus."
For those of us who live in
a culture where love nearly
always has an aspect of sex-
uality to it, let's just say it


NATHAN STEURY
Religion columnist
sounds and feels a little
strange to us.
Now, don't get me wrong.
I don't think any of these are
the "right" reasons for men
to stay away from church.
And I'm certainly not sug-
gesting that we do away
with all of them so men will
come. But as the saying
often goes, "perception is
reality," and if that is the
perception of many men -
whether or not we who go
to church perceive it as real-
ity or not it is a real rea-
son that men don't come.
There are probably many
other reasons I haven't cov-
ered, too.
So here's my challenge for
you. If you know a man who
doesn't go to church (or if
you are one), ask why. Tell
them you're doing an
experiment for some
strange pastor/writer for
Hometown News then let
me know their answers.
Send their responses to my
e-mail address at the end of
this article.
I don't want names. I just
want to get a little more in
touch with what keeps men
from church, because I
believe two things: one, the

What to look for


from fertilizers


W en you go to your
favorite retail
nursery and shop
for plant food or fertilizer,
you will find a confusing
array of brands and vari-
eties for almost any appli-
cation imaginable.
You will find weed and
feeds, bloom specials,
water soluble, granular and
flowering, along with many
others. Although each type
of fertilizer has a specific
purpose, they all have one
thing, well actually, three
things in common.
All plant foods and fertil-
izers contain a certain per-
centage of nitrogen, phos-
phorous and potassium.
The numbers you see on
the package (for example:
8-8-8). indicate the contents
of each of the above listed
elements in the order I list-
ed them.
Each of these elements
serve a different purpose,
and that is why you will find
so many different blends.
For example, most lawn
fertilizers will contain a
larger first number (nitro-
gen) and the second (phos-
phorous) and third (potas-
sium) numbers will be
lower. The reason is that
lawns need plenty of nitro-
gen to keep that lush, green
color and maintain healthy
growth.
The other elements,
although still needed, are
not required in such large
quantities.
Another good example is
food for flowering plants.
In this case, you want the
see the second number
(phosphorous) higher than
the first and third. This type
of blend is desirable when
you want your plants to
bloom.
Phosphorous is neces-
sary for plant health and
flower and fruit produc-
tion. When you want to
help your plants bloom,
you want a food that con-
tains a higher amount of
this element and a low
amount of nitrogen.
Higher amounts of phos-
phorous will help enhance
that blooming process
while the lower nitrogen
levels will not cause surge
growth in the plant.
Nitrogen gives your
plants that lush green color
and enhances the growth
process. This element is
necessary for plant growth.


However, applying too
much of this element can
burn or kill your plants or
lawn. Always apply accord-
ing to the label directions.
Potassium, also known as
potash, is necessary for
proper root development.
Potash can help plants
establish a good root sys-
tem that can helpthe plant
during periods of draught
stress.
Many fertilizers will con-
tain a variety of trace ele-
ments that will add even
more benefits for your
plants.
Iron is a common trace
element that is added to
many lawn and plant care
formulas. Iron is often a
desirable ingredient: if you
are feeding acid-loving
plants such as ixoria, azalea
and gardenia plants.
Some formulas will dig
deeper and contain trace
amounts of zinc, copper or
manganese.
Manganese is a good
trace element to look for in
a citrus blend, for example.
Magnesium is another
trace element you might
want to look for in a plant
food blend. This element is
useful for greening the
leaves of plants, such as
roses, tomato plants and
palm trees.
A simple and inexpensive *
way to add this element to
your plants is by adding
Epsom salts to your soil.
For a 3-gallon potted plant,
use about a quarter cup
and sprinkle around the
plant. Water in after apply-
ing. You can do this about
once a month for preven-
tive maintenance or more
often if your plants need a
boost.
There are a wide array of
plants that can benefit from
this simple trick, including
ixoria, gardenia, palms, and
hibiscus along with many
of your common indoor
tropicals.
I have had many people
come back to me with great
success stories on this sim-
ple secret.
A good garden retailer
will have Epsom salts
included with their plant
food mix.

or many Americans,
retirement provides
the opportunity to
travel and the luxury of
time to enjoy it.
After decades of working,
seniors relish the idea of
hitting the road in their
RVs or taking to the skies
or oceans for a well-
deserved vacation, or
vacations.
To help seniors have a
more organized, safe and
cost-efficient trip, here are
some suggestions.
Communicate: If
you're going on an extend-
ed trip, consider leaving a
detailed itinerary with a
family member or trusted
friend.
In the industry jargon
this type of customized
itinerary is called an "FIT."
This itinerary should
include all pertinent
information relating to
your trip such as the
names, addresses and
telephone numbers of the
people and places where
you will visit, flight infor-
mation and airline ticket
numbers, cruise itinerary
and ports of call, including
dates when you will be in
each port.
If traveling overseas, we
highly suggest you also
include your passport
number, date and place it
was issued, and credit card
and traveler's check
information.


Dose of advice:
Medications are generally
an important item of
consideration for seniors
on extended vacations.
Before traveling, be sure
to pack your medications
properly. Refill prescrip-
tions before leaving and
keep phone numbers for
doctors and pharmacies
close at hand.
Also, consider packing a
note from your doctor
explaining why the med-
ication is needed.
And now more than ever,
especially with the added
security regulations and to
avoid any confrontation
with Transportation
Security Administration
agents, be sure to pack
medications in carry-on
baggage and always in
their original bottles.
Prepaid phone cards:
Prepaid phone cards are
the easiest, simplest and
cheapest way to make calls
when traveling.
At some hotels, a phone
call can cost upwards of $2
just to get a connection
Phone cards from the
major service providers as
a rule, have low rates per
minute and can be used
throughout the United
States and internationally.
About one third of
Americans traveling on
vacation use prepaid
phone cards as their
primary means of commu-

These cards extend an
extra level of convenience
and safety to the senior
travel experience.
Take preventative
measures: Always consid-
er using the resources of a
travel professional to assist
you in identifying the best
and safest vacation travel
option.
Even if you choose to
plan a vacation on your
own, carefully research the
country or countries you
plan to visit and determine
if you should be immu-
nized against any endemic
diseases, or if you need a
vaccination against
diphtheria, tetanus, polio,
typhoid or hepatitis A.
Your travel professional
should be able to assist
you with general informa-
tion on required vaccina-
tions or preventive meas-
ures that you may have to
take or want to consider,
so ask for this information
as a part of your travel
planning discussions.
Also, consult your
personal doctor who may
offer an extra measure of
medical safety.
Finally, the Web site for
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
has some great resources

Passports, visas:
Another important factor
is obtaining a passport,
which will save you many
headaches no matter the
destination.
By the end of this year,
all Americans traveling
abroad by air or ship will
be required to carry a
passport. The only
exceptions will be Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
In that same vein, make
sure your travel consult-
ant checks into the visa
requirements to enter that
country. For example,
Brazil, India, China and
Russia are a few of the
countries where it is a
must for Americans to
enter the country with a
special visa stamped in
their passport.
Photo protection:
What is a great vacation
without great photos?
If you are flying and
returning home with
exposed film of your
adventures, pack it in your
carry-on luggage, never
check it. The baggage X-
ray machines may overex-
pose those precious shots.
The X-ray machines for
carry-on luggage are
considered safe, but you
can always ask for hand
inspection.
Armed with these bits of
information, today's active
seniors will enhance their
travel experience wherever
they may choose to visit.
Bon voyage and until
your actual trip, have
happy travel dreams.

Alive
From page B1
ety of Canada estimates
that vitamin D increases
calcium absorption by as
much as 30 to 80 percent.
Organizations in the
United Sates have reported
similar findings.
The Women's Health Ini-
tiative, a major 15-year
research program that
looked into the causes of
death and disability in
post-menopausal women,
recommended that women
take at least 1,000-1,500 mg
of calcium daily and 400 to
800 IU of vitamin D daily.
Other studies have sug-
gested that women older
than 70 may need even
more.
You should talk to your
health care provider about
your individual needs.
Vitamin D has long been
known as "the sunshine
vitamin" because most of
us obtain what we need
from the sun.
You can also get vitamin
D from eggs, fatty fish, and
cereal and meat fortified
with vitamin D. However,
even those sources may not
be enough.
Only a blood test to check


the level of vitamin D in the
body can determine
whether you are getting
enough vitamin D.
In my case, the level was
quite low, which meant that
the treatment I was getting
to prevent osteoporosis
was not doing the best job
it could.
My doctor, Darrell Fiske,
a rheumatologist in Stuart,
added a vitamin D supple-
ment to my daily regimen.
I asked him to explain
why this was important.
"Without adequate vita-
min D, calcium resorption
(or reabsorbtion) is
decreased," he said.
Recent studies have
shown that 52 percent of
post-menopausal women
on drug therapy for osteo-
porosis had low levels of
vitamin D, highlighting the
fact that even women who
take vitamin D supple-
ments may have insuffi-
cient levels to prevent
osteoporosis.
At a recent meeting on
bone density research, vita-
min D experts suggested
that we label vitamin D lev-
els less than 20 mg/ml as
deficient, 20 to 30 as insuf-
ficient and 30 to 60 as suffi-
cient."
Dr. Fiske, who is also the


medical director for the
Stuart office of Radiant
Research, a national com-
pany that conducts clinical
trials for the pharmaceuti-
cal industry, put to rest the
myth that because we live
in Florida, we get enough
vitamin D from the sun.
"There now appears to
be quite a variation in the
efficiency of individual
vitamin D conversion from
sunlight," he said. "A recent
study of Hawaiian surfers
revealed that 25 percent
had low vitamin D levels."
This is a lot of informa-
tion to take in, but the
important message is that if
you are concerned about
osteoporosis, and especial-
ly if you are receiving treat-
ment for it, you should talk
to your doctor about
whether you need to take
additional vitamin D.
As with every supple-
ment, it is not something to
do on your own, as you may
not need it. Talk to your
doctor.

Y )u may have read my
columns denouncing
the "dealer fee,"
which is a charge car
dealers add to the price
they have already quoted
you on the car.
They refer to it as a fee to
fool you into thinking it's a
legitimate fee, such as sales
tax or a license fee. What it
is, is profit to the dealer.
That's exactly what banks
and leasing companies do
when they lease you a car.
They most commonly label
their "fee" the "lease
acquisition fee," but it's
profit to the bank or leasing
company, and in some
cases, a smaller portion is
kicked back to the car
dealer. This fee is also
called by different names
such as "administrative
fee."
Yesterday I got a com-
plaint letter from a cus-
tomer in North Palm Beach
who was a reader of this
column. He had just
discovered that he paid an
$895 "lease acquisition fee"
when he leased his new
Toyota from my dealership.
I called him, apologized,
and told him that I agreed
with him that this was not
the right thing for banks to
do,,but that they all did it.
I also agreed with him
that the "lease acquisition
fee" should be disclosed
and explained on the lease
contract. It should be
called "profit to the bank"
and in cases where the
dealer gets a portion of this
fee, "profit to the bank and
dealer."
When a car dealer sells
you a car, you expect him
to make his profit by
adding a markup to the
wholesale price he paid the
manufacturer. You expect
and understand this.
Therefore, you can shop
and compare prices
between different dealer-
ships.
You expect a bank or a
leasing company to make
their lease profit by mark-

These fees vary over about
the same range as dealer
fees, from about $495 up to
about $895.
Oh, there, are some other
fees that the banks and
leasing companies charge
you when you lease a car
that you probably didn't
know about when you
signed in.
If you buy your car at the
end of the lease, there is a
"purchase option fee." If
you don't buy it, there is a
"lease disposal fee." These
vary from $150 to $450. The
bank knew in advance that
you were either going to
buy the car or not buy the
car at the end of the lease.
Their efforts associated
with your choice are simply
the overhead cost of
operating a leasing compa-
ny and should be built into
their rates.
When you quote your
customers a price and then
increase the price after the
purchase or lease where
will it stop?
How about a "fuel
adjustment fee" because of
rising gasoline prices or a
"power fee" to help the
banks pay their light bills?
Product pricing should
be transparent, up front,
and not convoluted, so that
the consumer can easily
shop and compare. Costs
of doing business should
be included in the pricing
of products, not tacked on
after the price is quoted
and/or the contract is
signed.
Of course, that's exactly
why banks and car dealers
have obscure fees like this,
so you can't easily shop and
compare.
Right now, there isn't
much you can do about the
lease acquisition fee,
except voice your opinion
to your bank and your
congressman.

it's called a lease factor and
on a purchase it's called an
interest rate.
The bank owns the car
because they bought it
from the dealer. If you drive
their car for 36 months,
your monthly payments
must cover their costs of
depreciation, money,
overhead and also pay
them a profit. You expect
and understand this.
Therefore, you can shop
and compare lease factors
and residuals. The residual
establishes the cost of
depreciation and the lease
factor establishes the cost
of money. The mark up
over these two costs should
be the profit to the bank.
The "lease acquisition
fee" does not appear on the
contract. It is disclosed on
a separate forrmwhich
includes everything in the
"capitalized cost" of the car
you are leasing. Most
people understandably
think that the capitalized
cost of the car is just for the
car, not some extra profit
for the bank.
I don't know any bank or
leasing company that does
not charge a lease acquisi-
tion fee. This fact is often
used to legitimize it. When
a customer does object, the
answer is "all banks charge
this fee."
That doesn't make it
right!
That's the same explana-
tion that car dealers give
when they get caught
charging their "dealer fee."
Just because almost
everybody does something
does not make it right.

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers.

. Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't

sounds like one
that fits with your
ideas on the way
business should
be conducted,
please call us.

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 oexectatn
customers.


Virtually every car dealer
in Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500
to nearly $1,000. This extra
charge is programmed into


S


of educate
sophistica
much high


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 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
Ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.
ion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
qtion 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 Stlewart Toyota

Treasure Coast Coffee & Tea to please


BY ROBIN RINKE
Staff writer
PALM CITY -Treasure
Coast Coffee & Tea shop is
my kind of coffee shop -
peaceful and relaxing.
I loved the organic atmos-
phere that owners, John
and Renee Wells, created
with color and d6cor in
their new coffee shop locat-
ed in the Publix Plaza at
1385 Martin Highway in
Palm City.
The tasteful color scheme
is gentle on the eyes and a
perfect match to the soft
piped in XM Radio coffee
shop music.
"We wanted to create a
place for our customers to
relax and get away," Mrs.
Wells said.
The atmosphere is perfect
to enjoy a beverage, read,
listen to music or meet with
friends or clients. Soon the
chic coffee shop will cater
to wireless Internet users
wanting a quiet place to
surf the Web.
Several coffee tables and a
bar area fill the front of the
shop. I gravitated toward
the back to lounge and
relax on one of the two
earth-tone sofas in a cozy
comer.


Two sofas and a retro
chair are nestled around a
granite top coffee table that
made me have a "kick back
and relax" feeling immedi-
ately.
It was now time to taste
the brew.
The Wells' serve their own
line of roasted coffee and
teas called Key West. The
imported coffee is pur-
chased and roasted locally,
and the teas are imported
from the United Kingdom
and Germany.
I ordered a steaming hot
cup of the private label cap-
puccino, which was filled to
the brim with froth and
served in a large orange art-
deco mug. The very chic
mug and saucer was a great
way to sip my coffee.
I was impressed with the
robust flavor. And, it was
good to the last drop.
The shop serves iced or
hot coffee, tea, espresso,
latte, cappuccino and chai.
They also offer all natural
smoothies.
Next month the shop will
be adding the trendy South
American beverage "Yerba
Mate" to the menu.
"This energy drink is
served hot or cold and has
similar health benefits like


that of green tea, but has a
taste more like chai or half
coffee-half tea," Mrs. Wells
said.


Wells,,brought me a big, fat
slice of cinnamon walnut
coffee cake. The moist and
dense cake melted in my

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Toyota of Stuart is hosting
the 21st annual Internation-
al Wine Tasting to benefit
Helping People Succeed on
Saturday, April 14.
John Pierson, owner of
Toyota of Stuart, said that
his organization is pleased
to be sponsoring the wine
tasting for the first time this
year.
"I know .the powerful
impact that HPS has on
helping those who need a
helping hand. It has been
an important part of the
community for a long time,
helping people become
productive, vital members
of the community," he said
in a press release.
The tasting will be at Har-
bour Bay Plaza in Sewall's
Point and features music, a
silent auction and a raffle of
a piece of jewelry designed
for Helping People Succeed
by Jewelry Design Studio of
Jensen Beach.
The Wine Tasting will fea-
ture samplings of fine foods
from area restaurants and
wines from countries
including Australia, France,
Chile, South Africa and Italy.
Jeff Schagrin, proprietor of
Harbour Bay Gourmet, will
host the event.
Jana Eschbach, Treasure
Coast bureau chief for
NEWS 12 WPEC, will chair
the event for the second
time.
"After I reached out in the
community to help a home-
less person one night in Stu-
art with a mental disability, I
became aware of HPS," she
said in a press release. "I
know how important it is to
help people gain a sense of
identity and of gratification
at a job well-done. The
homeless person did not
ask me for a dollar; he asked
rie to use my media con-
nections to help him find a
job. HPS did all the work.
Because of HPS, he is now a
productive, happy citizen
and taxpayer. He later
thanked me, saying 'I'm
glad I am not invisible to
you.' People don't want a


hand-out. They want inde-
pendence and a sense of
purpose. HPS helps them
help themselves."
Advance tickets to the
wine tasting are $50 or $65
at the door.
A kickoff party on March
28 will inform local busi-
nesses how they can be a
part of the wine tasting. The
party will run from 5:30-
7:30 p.m. at Toyota of Stuart,
5101 S.E. Federal Highway.
It is a chance to purchase
tickets and learn about
sponsorship opportunities
and Helping People Suc-
ceed. Refreshments will be
served.
Helping People Succeed,
formerly Tri-County TEC)
was established in 1964 and
provides services to
approve quality of life and
independence.
Helping People Succeed
programs include "Baby
Steps" to enhance parent-
child interaction, "Behav-
ioral Services" to affect posi-
tive change for middle and
high school students, as well
as providing adult inde-
pendent living for persons
with developmental disabil-
ities and behavioral issues.
Other programs include
"Community Living" to pro-
vide adults with disabilities
the opportunity to work,
volunteer and participate in
community activities, and
"Employment Services" to
assist people with various
levels of disabilities to
secure employment in the
community to becoming
taxpaying citizens.
Jeff Chamber, supervisor
of community living, was
recently named supervisor
of employment services in
Martin, St. Lucie, Indian
River and Okeechobee
counties.

off party, sponsorship oppor-
tunities or to purchase tick-
ets, call Dale Kostakos at

Cashore Marionettes explore life in motion


David Cashore
brings the Cashore
Marionettes to life
at the Blake
Library on March
23 and 24.

Management


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
When David Cashore
was 11, he made a mari-
onette from clothespins,
wood, string and a tin can.
It was an activity that
would shape his life.
"I have a distinct memo-
ry," he said. "I felt the sen-
sation of life. It was a little
bit of magic. It had the illu-
sion of moving on its own."
The young man studied
sculpture and painting in


college, but never forgot
that feeling of movement
and life. He worked as a
carpenter to pay the rent
and began creating mari-
onettes to take to parties.
Today, he is one of the
foremost exponents of the
art of the marionette and
he brings his creations and
his stories set to music to
the Blake Library on March
24 and 25.
"I was listening to the
music of Ralph Vaughan
Williams and I had a vision


of a character playing that
music," he said. "When I
finished that marionette
the possibilities opened up
and I realized what was
possible. I started develop-
ing the show I'm doing
now."
Mr. Cashore makes
everything in the show,
from the marionettes to
the costumes and props.
The challenge is making
the marionettes handle the
props in a way that seems
natural and as if they are


doing it themselves.
"I've tried a lot of things
that didn't work," he said.
"It's a lot of trial and error.
Usually the answer to why
it's not working is a
mechanical one. I've been
experimenting with it
most of my life."
Mr. Cashore and his wife
Wilma, who assists with
the sound, lighting and
props, are bringing two
shows to the Blake. The
first, on March 23, is "Life
in Motion." which has
some adult themes, such
as a woman at a gravesite,
that are not intended for
children. "Simple Gifts," on
March 24, is a shorter,
lighter, performance, but
Mr. Cashore still feels that
it's not for the very young.
"It's not dark, but the
themes are sensitive and
you need more life experi-
ence," he said.
Each show is a collection
of short pieces, with music
of Ralph Vaughan
Williams, Strauss, Vivaldi,
Beethoven and Copland,
among others as a back-
drop.
"I try to tell a story using
very few words," he said.
"It's amazing, the power of
marionettes to communi-
cate. They disarm the
audience and the audience
opens up more. They're
more willing to feel with
the marionettes. I'm hop-
ing it will also be fun. It
will be a roller coaster ride
up and down."
The Cashore Marionettes
perform at the Blake
Library, 2351 S.E. Mon-
terey Road, in Stuart for
two free performances.
Saturday, March 24, at 7
p.m. is "Life in Motion,"
and Sunday, March 24, at 3
p.m. is "Simple Gifts," suit-
able for children 8 years
and older.

Area pitchers get ahead of the hitters


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
With the high school
baseball season in full
swing on the Treasure
Coast, one thing is clear:
the pitching is way ahead
of the hitting.
: There was a flurry of no-
hitters thrown in the first
month of the 2006 season,
proving: that the area's
pitching is, as good as it's
ever been. '


Port St. Lucie senior Mike
McGee no-hit Satellite on
Feb. 24, South Fork blanked
Fort Pierce Central on
March 1, and junior Robbie
Hubbard of Martin County
did the same to Fort Laud-
erdale the next day.
Jensen Beach senior
Louis Viamontes pitched a
perfect game (five innings)
to start the trend on Feb.
20.
Normally a no-hitter
alone would justify a lot of


attention. But with just one
month of the season com-
plete, the frequency of
these standout perform-
ances leads one to ask why.
Some area coach's see
the outburst as an early
season trend: good pitch-
ing develops faster than
hitting.
Others think it is just
another set of great pitch-
ers from the Treasure
Coast.
Either way, it is no secret


that Treasure Coast is alive
and well with players who
can really throw the ball.
"I think the pitching has'
been pretty decent," said
South Fork head coach
Mike Harper. "I feel that if
you're going to get a no-hit-
ter, you're probably going
to get it in the beginning of'
the year. The hitters take a
while to catch up. It's hard-
er to get (a no-hitter) later

Fire win battle of the Treasure Coast


BY MAT1 DEWHIUR T
Sports writer

Randall Lundy hadn't
planed a big birthday cele-
bration for himself last Sat-
urday, but that's not the way
it turned out.
Lundy caught two touch-
down passes on his 260'
birthday to help the Fort
Pierce Fire defeat the Trea-
sure Coast Pirates, 27-17,
March 10 at Lawnwood Sta-
dium in Fort Pierce.
"It was a birthday surprise.
I had to do it for the home-
town tonight," said Lundy,
who is a 1999 graduate of
Fort Pierce Central High
School. "I was just focused.
It was a big game. It was
rivalry game. It was a con-
ference game. So I was
thinking about getting the
win. tIwasn't thinking about
after the game. Now I can
celebrate."


The Fire (4-3) didn't look
like a team ready to cele-
brate to start the game. After
Pirates kicker Massimo
Scaccia kicked a 43-yard
field goal on the opening
drive, Fort Pierce responded
with a 14-play drive that fin-
ished with a missed field
goal from Fire kicker, and
Scaccia's brother, Fabrizio.
But the Fire would get a
chance for redemption
sooner than expected.
Marvin Boyd recovered a
fumbled snap on the
Pirates' next play from
scrimmage, giving the Fire
the ball back at essentially
the same spot they lost it.
Four plays later, Scaccia
kicked a 41-yard field goal to
tie the score at 3-3 with four
minutes left in the first quar-
ter.
The score would remain at
a standstill until the last two
minutes of the half when


quarterback Tommy Share
started to go to the air.
The 2003 St. Lucie West
Centennial graduate con-
nected with Lundy for a 34-
yard touchdown with 1:53 in
the half to make the score
10-3.
Less than a minute had
ticked off the clock before
Share found Lundy in the
end zone again, this time for
five yards.
When the dust settled the
Fire had taken a command-
ing lead, 17-3, going into
halftime.
The aerial attack, was
something that had been
lacking from the Fire's
resume until Saturday night,
and Share (13-27, 164 yards,
2 TD's, 1 Interception) was
happy to add it.
"We've been practicing it a
little bit more this week,"
said Share. "I was bugging
coach about me opening it


up and getting back in the
shotgun a little more. We got
such good receivers you
want to use them."
Share was playing in just
his third game this season
after injuring his knee in the
pre-season Florida Bowl
against the Milwaukee Bull-
dogs.
"I slowed down on my run
a little bit. I try to get out of
bounds instead of getting a
few more extra yards," said
Share. "But I'm here to play. I
love playing."
The Pirates (1 -7), who had
hopes of avenging a 21-20
loss to Fort Pierce Feb. 20 in
Stuart, failed to get any
momentum going until it
was too late. Two fourth
quarter touchdowns, a 46-
yard halfback pass from
L.C. Charles to Jackson
Louis, and a 9-yard run by
Jay Leonard, served as the
team's only highlights on


the night.
'"A game like this is a rival-
ry game so the records don't
really add up. Hats off to
Fort Pierce, they came in
focused and got the job
done," said Treasure Coast
head coach Mo Hamilton.
"We got some work to do if
we're going to continue to
finish the season out. We're
still trying to learn how to
play as a team this late in
the season and that's hurt-
ing us."
The Pirates, who forfeited


their home game on March
3 for undisclosed reasons,
had to pay the Southern
States Football League $500
in fines just to play against
Fort Pierce on March 10. It
is questionable is if they will
be able to finish the season
due to financial reasons.
Treasure Coast is sched-
uled to play at home March
17 against the Magic City
Bulls.
Fort Pierce will travel to
play the East Coast Reapers
on the same date.


No-Hitters
From page D1


in the year."
One of the interesting
things about this season's
no-no's is who they have
come against.
Because the Florida High
School Athletic Association
relies so heavily on district
play, most teams save their
No., 1 pitcher for big games
within the district. ,Of the
four no-hitters this season,
two have come against dis-
trict opponents. The two in
district play featured the
winning team's best pitcher
in McGee and Viamontes.
And while Hubbard and
Harper are clearly not pitch-
ers to take lightly, they have
players around them who
had more impressive track
records before they threw
their no-hitters.
So while there might be
area matchups that look
enticing on paper, they don't
always pan out the way one
might think.
On Mar. 7 Port St. Lucie
faced Lincoln Park Acade-
my, beating the Greyhounds
4-0. Both team's feature
pitchers with major league
scouts following them at
every start, but neither
pitched in the game. LPA
senior Mark Peterson is one
of the most talked about
area prospects, and will join
McGee at Florida State on a
full scholarship next fall.
Even though a Peterson-
. McGee matchup would
have been great for fans to
see, it just didn't make sense
for the teams to throw their
best in a non-district game.
"No-hitters are nice, but
we try to pitch (Peterson) in
the bigger games, which
mean's better hitters," said
Lincoln Park head coach
Chuck Stewart of Peterson,
who has two one-hitters this
season. "This area produces
a lot of good pitchers."
Last year Colton Willems
of John Carroll was the No.
22 pick in the major league
draft to the Washington
Nationals and in 1997, Port
St. Lucie graduate Rick
Ankiel signed with St. Louis
after being selected in the
second round.
Playing in an area so well


known for baseball
prospects presents a prob-
lems for rival clubs. Every
coach wants the best com-
petition for his players,
even if it means going
against a guy who throws in
the mid 90s.
"We got to get up there
and know our (strike) zone
and really work that pitcher
in the count. If you can get
him high in the count, you
make him have to hit the
zone," said Harper. "With
McGee, the only reason we
got him out of the game (a
12-11 win in 11 innings on
Feb. 16) was we got his pitch
count up."
On the other end of the
spectrum is how you devel-
op your talent. Port St. Lucie
head coach Tony Malizia
was the Jaguars pitching
coach when Ankiel came
through the system and has
worked with McGee, who
throws in the 90's, his entire
high school career. Know-
ing that McGee had a can--
non for an arm, he only
pitched him four of five
times in a reliever role his
freshman year.
"We just worked on his
mechanics, we knew we
had a live arm," said Mal-
izia. "It pays dividends
later."
Malizia has also seen a
trend in recent years of bet-
ter pitches coming into
high school from the little
league level. While it still is a
common thing to have a
pitcher throw out his arm
by age 13, Malizia has seen
that situation less and less.
"Some (players) are fur-
ther along than they used to
be," said Malizia. "With the
little leagues, they've estab-
lished pitch counts, which
might have something to do
with it. I think the little
'leagues are just getting bet-
ter. The coaches are getting
more knowledgeable."
Having more mature
players enter high school
might be reason or the
recent no-hit craze, or at
least where it starts. But no
one can deny the pure tal-
ent of the current crop of
Treasure Coast pitchers.


As the season rolls on,
and hitters begin to come
around, it would be surpris-
ing if pitchers continued


their hot streak.
For fans, the fun part will
be watching.

Carp catching on


with NYMets


Former St. Lucie
star playing well
at the Mets'
training camp
BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
Last. summer, St. Lucie
Mets first baseman Mike
Carp was a regular at Tradi-
tion Field. This spring he is
back, but this time as a
NewYork Met.
The 20-year-old Califor-
nia native is a non-roster
invitee at Mets spring
training this March, and is
already making a name for
himself through 10 games
this spring with the major
league club.
Carp is amongst the
team leaders in RBI (5), hits
(8) and average (.348).
Results like that get noticed
and have made Carp one of
the more pleasant surpris-
es of the spring thus far.
"He's doing great and he's
adjusting well. That's the
whole idea behind spring
training, get exposed to
major league pitching and
he's done well," said first
base coach Howard John-
son. "He's making his
adjustments and what I
like about him is his mind
is open. If you tell him
something he's going to try
to use it in the ball game."
While the New York
media surrounds other top
prospects each day, Carp
floats about the clubhouse
like he's been here before,
packing up his things and
heading out almost unno-
ticed. Funny enough, Carp,
who has lived in Port St.
Lucie for about two years,
has been here before, play-


ing for Class A ball for St.
Lucie in 2006. He probably
knows the area better than
some of the club veterans;
but instead of handing out
notes on the Treasure
Coast nightlife, he's taking
notes on batting styles and
technique from his new
teammates.
"It's the same game. It
might speed up a little bit,
and you might see some
different pitching but you
just take as much informa-
tion as you can from these
older guys," said Carp.
It was his performance
with the Class A affiliate
that got him noticed by the
major league club. Carp
was named a South
Atlantic League mid-sea-
son all-star with Hager-
stown in 2005 and finished
2006 with a .287 average, 88
RBI and 17 home runs for
St. Lucie.
He followed that per-
formance with a postsea-
son all-star selection with
the North Shore Honu of
the Hawaiian Winter
League.
Even with his good play
so far this spring, Carp isn't
about to get over-excited
about the possibility of
playing in the big leagues
just yet. He knows that he is
at spring training to give
starter Carlos Delgado a
day off every now and then,
and try to increase his
stock in the franchise.
"If you're swinging the
bat good then (the coaches
are) positive obviously,"
said Carp. "You just have to
stay within yourself and
not try to get out of yourself
too much and try to do too
much. Just do what you've
been doing. I had a good
year with St. Lucie last year,

roster invitee with the New York Mets this spring. Carp,
who will play with double A Binghamton or triple A New
Orleans this season, has impressed coaches with his work
ethic and willingness to learn.


and hopefully double A
Binghamton is where I'll
end up this year."
While Carp is thinking
double A ball, he might just
play his way to triple AAA
New Orleans. His willing-
ness to learn and take
advice from coaches and
teammates has made Carp
a rare commodity among
young athletes with a me-
first attitude. His out-look
makes him an attractive
project to coaches.
"We'll see where he's at
(at the end of spring) and
see how receptive he is,"
said Johnson, who was the
hitting coach with triple A
Norfolk in 2006. "That's
really big because in order
to get to the next level. For


him it's probably triple A.
He's been able to do it
down here, I'm very
impressed... the more I see
him, the more I see prom-
ise."
After going 2 for 4 against
the Boston Red. Sox Mar. 7,
including a hit off knuckle-
ball veteran Tim Wakefield,
Carp was once again
reserved about his per-
formance and more reflec-
tive about his spring-time
stint with the Mets.
"It's amazing just to be
able to get into the games
and experience it myself,"
said Carp. "I try not to get
out of myself and just do
what got me here in the
first place, which is hit the
ball hard."

Get into swing of golf by getting clubs in shape


spring training is in
full swing here in
Florida.
Just as baseball players
are gearing up for the
season, so are golfers.
Instead of a ball and
bat, the tools of our-trade
are more technically
advanced and built with
more precision.
Some of us have taken
the winter season off
from the game. By now,
some of you are dusting
off your clubs in antici-
pation of that first round
since late last year. If you
plan to play your best
golf this spring and
summer, it's important
that your equipment be


up to the task.
You need to take a
good, hard look at your
clubs. Get to know them
better. Examine the
heads, check the grips,
inspect the shafts and,
most importantly, make
sure that they are as
ready to play as you.

Get a grip

Your grips are probably
the most overlooked part
of the club.
How many of you have
an old club with a grip so
hard that you could drive
a nail with it?
Since the grip is the

only place that you
actually contact the club,
your grips must be in
good shape for you to
maintain control and hit
good shots.
If your grips are simply
dirty, wash them off. It's a
good idea to wash your
grips every couple of
weeks in a solution of
soap and water.
Between the dirt and oil
on your hands and the
dirt and dust that settle
into your golf bag, you'd
be surprised how much
crud you need to remove.
I've even used soapy steel
wool to get the worst
stuff off my grips.
If your grips are hard or
show wear in spots from
where you hold the club,
then it's time for replace-
ments.
When you replace your
grips, take a good look at
your hand size in rela-
tionship to the grip size.
Properly sized grips are
an easy change to make
and one that will make
you a more consistent
player.

grooves prevents the club
from imparting the
proper spin on the ball. A
ball with little or no spin
acts like a knuckle ball in
the air and doesn't
penetrate the wind or fly
very far.
Lastly, check the loft
and lie. This is something
that every professional
golfer does nearly every
week. While most of us
don't play often enough
to have our lofts and lies
checked as often as a pro,
it's a good idea to have it
done once or twice a
year.
Clubs can get out of
alignment through
normal play. A two-
degree change in loft can
mean as much as 10
yards in distance. A
properly lofted set will
not have any distance
. gaps.
Ever wonder why you
hit your six-iron the same
distance as your seven?
Maybe their lofts are,
nearly the same.
A club that sits too flat
will cause the toe to dig
in, opening the clubface
giving you a slice or fade.
A club that sits too
upright will allow the
heel to dig in, closing the
clubface, producing a
hook.

When in doubt

If you're not sure how to
check all of these items
yourself, call your
favorite shop. If they
don't have the ability to
help you, they will be
glad to tell you who can.
Most shops charge a ,
small fee to adjust your
clubs for loft and lie, and
many will check them for
free when replacing your
grips. New grips typically
cost less than $10
installed and your entire
set can be re-gripped in
less than an hour.
This weekend take
some time to check your
clubs and get them ready
for the season. Who
knows, maybe your swing
isn't what needs to be
fixed.
