Top city to retire


in need of space


BY ROBIN RINKE
Staff writer
STUART The good
news for the city of Stuart,
was not necessarily great
news for City Manager,
Dan Hudson.!
Stuart was recently
named one of America's
100 Best Places to Retire by
Where to Retire magazine.
Normally, city officials
would call out far and wide
to let the world know their
town was among America's
best anything. However,
being a top retirement des-


tination creates a bit of
concern for Mr. Hudson.
Mr. Hudson points out
that Florida in general has
been a retirement destina-
tion for the last 50-years,
but with 78 million Ameri-
cans turning 65 in the next
four years, and Stuart
being a top contender in
places to retire, it puts a
new spin on things.
"Stuart has 17,000 resi-
dents, and not much room
left for expansion," said

Plans to improve a hik-
ing trail named in memory
of U.S. Navy Reserve Petty
Officer 2nd Class Robert B.
Jenkins, who was killed in
Iraq, are moving forward.
Mr. Jenkins lived with his
wife, Elizabeth, in Stuart.
He died on May 2, 2004,
at the age of 35, from a
mortar attack in the Anbar
province. He was with the
Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion 14, a reserve
Seabee unit based in Jack-
sonville.
Four other reservists
from the same unit, all
Floridians, were also killed
in the attack.
On Feb. 26, the Martin
County Board of Commis-
sioners approved the nam-
ing of the "Robert B. Jenk-
ins C-23 Trail."
Chuck Barrowclough,
Martin County environ-
mental lands administra-
tor, said the trail is already
open to the public.
"The trail itself exists,
but what we want to do is
make improvements to the
site."
The trail and parking
lots are located in the Alla-


pattah Flats Wildlife and
Environmental Area, and
runs along the C-23 canal.
A multi-purpose trail, it
exists on the south side of
the canal, from County
Road 609 (also known as
Allapattah Road) to Boat
Ramp Road.
The South Florida Water
Management District,
which owns the property,
has partnered with Martin
County to make improve-
ments.
"We have an agreement
with SFWMD to develop
public access," said Mr.
Barrowclough.
"However, the money
to make the improve-
ments won't go in until
the next fiscal year, which
is October 1. So the dis-
trict and the county have
slated money to make
those improvements," he
said.
Mr. Barrowclough said
that any improvements
made must be directly
connected to improve-
ment for wildlife.
"We want to work on
habitat restoration to
improve wildlife bene-
fits," he said.

'Dollars for Collars' event under investigation


Humane Society of Treasure
Coast worried about impact,
on future events
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
STUART Lee Koenig agreed to produce a
family-friendly event for March 31 that would
raise funds for the Humane Society of the Trea-
sure Coast.
In the end, the event was postponed, the
advertisers were angry, the organizer was under
investigation and the Humane Society was wor-
ried about the impact on future fundraisers.
Mr. Koenig, whose Web site declares him as
"one of the most respected drummers in the
world," entered into an agreement with the
Humane Society to produce a fundraising event
on its behalf. The event was scheduled to take
place on March 31 at 5 p.m. at the Martin Coun-
ty Fairgrounds. Price of admission was $25, with
children under 12 admitted free.
"We had a third-party agreement with Mr.
Koenig," said Amy Christensen, community
outreach director for the Humane Society.
"We do approximately a half-dozen of these a
year, sometimes with individuals, sometimes
with businesses. They will put on an event
where a percentage of the proceeds will go to
the Humane Society alone or to the Humane
Society and some other charity," she said.
Ms. Christensen said the details of each
agreement vary widely, but all stipulate that the


third party, will take care of all aspects of the
event.- : *
"The responsibility of the event is entirely up
to the third party, to produce the event, get the
sponsors, line up the entertainment and so
forth," said Ms. Christensen.
Ms. Christensen said Mr. Koenig told her he
had a local band lined up to begin performing
at 5:30, and Mr. Koenig and his Allstar Band
would perform at 7 p.m.
However, problems arose when one of the
sponsors, Phyllis Mantia, filed a complaint with
the Martin County Sheriff's Office.
Ms. Mantia owns Deb's Grooming in Jensen
Beach, and paid $500 to Mr. Koenig-for advertis-
ing in the event's program. When she failed to
see any advertising for the event as March 31
approached, she filed a complaint with the
Martin County Sheriff's Office.
Ms. Mantia could not be reached for com-
ment by press time.
Richard E. Gitlen of Stuart, a criminal defense
attorney, is representing Lee Koenig during the
Sheriff's investigation. He said Mr. Koenig does
plan on rescheduling the event.
"There is an on-going investigation and no
conclusion has been reached. Hopefully, the
investigation will have a positive resolution and
there won't be any need to charge him with any
improprieties. He plans on rescheduling the
event when the investigation is concluded,"
said Mr. Gitlen.
Jenell Atlas, spokesperson for the Martin
County Sheriff's Office, confirmed the on-going
status of the investigation.
"We still have a lot of loose ends we are trying


"My concern is with the integrity of
the Humane Society and how this will
hurt us in the future. We feel very
deep moral and ethical responsibilities
to the people whose support we take
.incredibly seriously'
Amy Christensen
Humane Society community outreach
director
to confirm," she said.
Mr. Gitlen said Mr. Koenig has not refunded
any money because he still plans on holding the
event when the investigation is over.
"He is still pursuing sponsors, and is still mar-
keting the event," said Mr. Gitlen.
One of the concerns expressed by Ms. Chris-
tensen was the number of tickets that were sold
prior to the March 31 event.
"The number of tickets printed and available
for sale at the Martin County Fairgrounds was
775," said Ms. Christensen. "But I'm sitting here
with a couple hundred tickets. Mr. Koenig told
me he gave away 1,000, while he told someone
else he gave away a few hundred."
When Mr. Gitlen was asked how many tickets
were sold prior to March 31, he said he did not
have that information.
Mr. Gitlen said his client would take a per-
centage of the proceeds from the event as a

Stuart
From page Al
Mr. Hudson.
Will Stuart become an
exclusive community that
retirees may have to take a
number to get into?
"A lot of (retirement age)
people are taking a look out
there and it is something to
be aware of. These num-
bers will only increase," Mr.
Hudson said.
Medicare has claimed


that the more than 78 mil-
lion Americans will reach
the age of 65 by 2011. With
those kinds of numbers,
retirement areas, such as
Stuart, will only grow big-
ger as well.
Or can it?
"Stuart itself is almost
built out," Mr. Hudson
said. "What is here is here,
they will have to buy pre-
existing."
He said he wasn't sur-
prised that Stuart made the
list. He said the city offers


retirees some top-notch
social events and amenities
that cater specifically to
there age group.
"The library system we
have in place is really first
class. Not to mention the
huge array of arts, theatre,
golfing, water sports and
easy access to the ocean,"
Mr. Hudson said.
Will retirees be happy
buying pre-existing
homes?
Joe Santoro, realtor for
Keyes Realty of the Trea-


sure Coast, said that there
are no new 55 plus com-
munities in Martin County
to accommodate the future
rash of retirees.
"A lot of 55-plus want to
be in a 55-plus 'new' com-
munity," said Mr. Santoro.
"Right now you would have
to go out of Martin County
to find a new one."
Mr. Santoro said the new
communities recently built
in the area cater to young
families and not the 55-
plus groups.


"I recently showed a 55-
plus couple a home in a
community that they
loved, but they did not buy
it and later commented on
the amount of children in
the neighborhood," he
said.
As a sixty-year-old him-
self, Mr. Santoro said a
stress free and private
retirement home with close
neighbors is what the 55-
plus groups seem to be
attracted to.
"At my age I understand


where they are coming
from," he said. "It's not that
they don't like children,
they just want friends to
live close by that are on the
same page in life.
Whether Stuart gets an
influx of retirees now or in
the future, one thing is for
certain they will have to
buy preexisting property.
That's if they want to live
in one of the 100 best
retirement cities in Ameri-
ca.

Jensen Beach man

charged with

attempted murder


t
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
JENSEN BEACH A
Jensen Beach man with a
criminal past has been
charged with attempted
murder, after fleeing his
home in a domestic dis-
pute only to return later
and stab his wife with a
knife.
Brian Timothy Hanni-
gan, who also goes by the
name Kenton Leon
Mosley, was charged with
attempted murder on
March 28 and held without
bond in the Martin County
jail.
As of press time, his wife,
Lorna Stowers, 42,
remained a patient at Del-
ray Medical Center. She
told the Hometown News
that she was feeling better,
and had been in contact
with an advocate related to
the domestic violence.
Noting that this latest
incident is a violation of
Mr. Hannigan's probation
that resulted from an
attack on her last year, Ms.
Stowers said she hoped he
would be going to prison
for a long time.
"I will be pressing
charges to the fullest
extent of the law," said Ms.
Stowers.
According to the arrest
affidavit, Martin County
deputy sheriff David Wil-
son responded to a call of
domestic battery the
evening of March 27, after
Ms. Stowers called police
from a neighbor's phone.
She had fled the residence
she shared with Mr. Hanni-
gan, her husband, at 1105
N.E. Railroad Road in


Jensen Beach.
Ms. Stowers told author-
ities that her husband had
hit her twice in the face.
The deputy noted that Ms.
Stowers' left .eye was
already black and blue,
which Ms. Stowers said
was the result of an alter-
cation, with Mr. Hannigan
several nights before.
Ms. Stowers advised
deputies that Mr. Hanni-
gan told her before he left
their home, "I'm going to
kill you."
As deputies searched the
area looking for Mr. Hanni-
gan, another emergency
call was received, this time
about a stabbing at the
couples home.
When deputies arrived,
they found Ms. Stowers
collapsed from several stab
wounds. She was trans-
ported to St. Mary's Med-
ical Center in West Palm
Beach and later transport-
ed to Delray Medical Cen-
ter. Ms. Stowers had been
stabbed six times in the
back and arm and her right
lung had collapsed.
Mr. Hannigan, who was
employed as a cook at the
Pelican Cafe in Stuart, was
found by Martin County
Sheriff's deputies in a
wooded area in the 1000
block of N.E. Dixie High-
way in Jensen Beach, with
a bag of his clothes and
Ms. Stowers' handbag.
Once at the Martin
County Sheriff's Office, Mr.
Hannigan reportedly said,
"It was a terrible thing that
happened''." He also
claimed his wife was see-
ing another man and had a

Police say they've nabbed serial rapist


BY MATT DONEGAN
Staff writer
Fort Pierce Police
Department detectives
believe a man they
charged last week in the
2005 kidnapping and rape
of a 29-year-old Fort
Pierce woman can be tied
to more rapes in this area
and possibly throughout
the country.
Their suspect is 6-foot,
220-pound Robert Lee
Kenon Jr., 33, of 4710 N.E.
Savannah Road, Jensen
Beach. He was charged
March 29 with kidnap-
ping by inflicting bodily
harm or terrorizing a vic-
tim, false imprisonment,
sexual assault with a
weapon and aggravated
battery.
"We feel he's done it
several times and it might
not have been reported
because he 'didn't go all
the way," said Fort Pierce
Police Department
Detective Charles Don-
non, lead investigator in
the case. "Another agency
in Martin County feels he
may be involved in two
other rapes. We're com-
municating on that."
Fort Pierce Police say
they linked Mr. Kenon to
a 2005 rape after he was
jailed on similar charges
earlier this month.
At 4:30 a.m. March 18, a
Port 'St. Lucie woman
reported being woken up
in her Savannah Road
bedroom by a man mov-
ing the covers off her
body. He was on his
knees with his pants
down and was stimulat-
ing himself, she told
police. When she
screamed, the man put
his hand over her mouth
and said there was anoth-
er person outside the


bedroom with a gun who
would shoot her, accord-
ing to Mr. Kenon's arrest
affidavit. The woman told
the man she was a dia-
betic and began to con-
vulse, causing the man to
leave.
About 15 minutes later,
the Port St. Lucie Police
Department received a
call from a home on Cur-
tis Road.
A man matching Mr.
Kenon's description
broke into a house and
stood over a woman who
was sleeping. When she
woke up, the man acted
disoriented, then left in a
silver car, said depart-
ment spokesman Rob
Vega.
On March 20, a deputy
pulled over a car match-
ing the description of the
one leaving the scene and
the driver matched the
description given by the
Savannah Road woman.
The woman identified
Mr. Kenon as the man
who assaulted her, police
said.
He was charged with
burglary of an occupied
dwelling, committing a
lewd and lascivious act
and aggravated assault,
all felonies. He is a sus-
pect in the Curtis Road
incident, but has not
been arrested.
Mr. Kenon's Fort Pierce
charges stem from the
apparently random rape
of a woman who had just
moved to the area and
didn't speak any English.
On Dec. 22, 2005,
bystanders told police
they saw a large black
male with a gun exit a sil-
ver sedan and chase a
Hispanic woman, grab
her, force her into his car
and drive northbound on
Sixth Street, then west on


Robert Lee Kenon Jr.


Delaware Avenue.
While officers were
investigating, a man
flagged them down, say-
ing a male in a silver car
just dumped a woman
out of his vehicle and left
her in the street. Police
rushed to the scene and
found the woman walk-
ing toward them.
She gave details of the
rape, which she said took
place in the car over a
two-hour span. She said
the man, who was drink-
ing a bottle of rum,
moved the car several
times during the incident.
She also said her assailant
had a tattoo of a cross
from his wrist to his fore-
arm that came to a point.
He even once covered her
mouth with his hand
while he took a call on his
black and yellow Nextel
phone, according to
police reports. The phone
matched the description
of Mr. Kenon's, Detective
Donnon said.
After it was over, the
victim said the man drove
her back to where he
abducted her and pushed
her out 6f the car.
Soon after, police
showed the woman hun-
dreds of photos of sexual
offenders in the tri-coun-
ty area who matched the
description she gave.
There were no hits.
Two weeks later, anoth-


er Fort Pierce woman
reported coming out of
the shower and finding a
large black male standing
in the bathroom with a
gun in one hand and his
genitals in the other. She
told him her husband was
on his way home, and the
man left. She has since
picked Mr. Kenon out of a
photo-lineup, Detective
Donnon said. Charges are
expected to follow.
For the past two years,
officers have investigated
many leads in the case of
the Hispanic woman,
showing her seven photo-
lineups, all of which
ended without results.
Then on March 23,
Detective Zoila Simmons
got an e-mail about Mr.
Kenon's arrest in Port St.
Lucie. After finding out
that Mr. Kenon drove a
silver car, she had his
forearms inspected at the
jail. He had the
cross/dagger tattoo
matching the description
of the one given to police
more than two years ago.
Police then went to the
Hispanic victim's home
with another six-person
photo lineup.
"She eliminated people
one by one, and when she

More child pornography charges added by
Martin County Sheriffs Office

A Delray Beach man already in Martin County jail on
one count of child pornography and possession of a con-
trolled substance and drug paraphernalia has had addi-
tional counts of possession of child pornography added
to those charges.
Gregory Allan Downs, 48, of the 3600 block of Lone
Pine Road in Delray Beach, was charged March 23 with
99 counts of possession of child pornography.
Mr. Downs has been in jail since Feb. 14, when Martin
County Sheriff deputies found him sleeping in his truck
in Jensen Beach. Inside of the truck, they discovered a
laptop computer with child pornography images on it,
along with 51 CDs and DVDs they suspected contained
child pornography.
An initial check of ihe computer resulted in images of
young girls, most appearing to be under the age of 12,
who were nude or partially unclothed and in provocative
positions.

Dredging project for inlet is
extended two weeks

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers have extended the deadline by which Great
Lakes Dock and Dredge must complete the dredging
project on the St. Lucie Inlet.
The original deadline of April 1 has been extended to
April 14, due to delays caused by weather and malfunc-
tioning equipment.
The purpose of the project is to take 650,000 cubic
yards of sand from the inlet and transfer it to the beach
in Hobe Sound. To date, 500,000 cubic yards has been
dredged. The dredging and the equipment require
boaters to use extreme caution when navigating the
area.
The public may visit www.martin.fl.us and click on
"Public Safety-St. Lucie Inlet Survey" for the latest infor-
mation on the dredging project.

for trial for June 18, according to the State Attorney's
office.

salary for himself,
although Mr. Gitlen did
not know the exact per-
centage.
"He does this as a liveli-
hood, so he does take a


portion for income," said
Mr. Gitlen.
According to Ms. Chris-
tensen, drawing a salary
from the proceeds of an
event when third-party
agreements are involved
"is not the norm."
Ms. Christensen is wor-
ried about the impact this


situation will have on
future events conducted
by the Humane Society to
raise funds.
"My concern is with the
integrity of the Humane
Society and how this will
hurt us in the future," she
said.
"We feel very deep moral


and ethical responsibili-
ties to the people whose
support we take incredibly
seriously."
Ms. Christensen said the
Humane Society is doing
everything they can to
help get money back for
the sponsors who want a
refund. Although she is


aware that Mr. Koenig
plans on going forward
with the fundraiser, she
said many sponsors have
told her they want out.
"I truly want to believe
this was a well-inten-
tioned event gone horribly
wrong," said Ms. Chris-
tensen.

campaign

BY KIM COTTON
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE April
is Child Abuse Prevention
Month, and to recognize
the event, one childcare
agency is launching a cam-
paign to spread the word
against child abuse.
United For Families, a
nonprofit organization
that provides foster care
and programs to help pre-
vent child abuse on the
Treasure Coast, starts its
Stop the Tears campaign
April 6, with a small cere-
mony at its Port St. Lucie
headquarters.
Guest speaker at the
event will be state Rep.
Gayle Harrell, who has
been an advocate for pre-
venting child abuse.
"It is such an important
issue because children are
our future," Rep. Harrell
said. "It's extremely impor-
tant that we deal with the
issue of stopping the abuse
because the children then
grow up to become
abusers themselves."
Rep. Harrell has four
grown children and six
grandchildren, and was
once an educator in Mar-
tin County. She is also a
founding board member
of Hibiscus Children's Cen-
ter, which is another
agency dedicated to pre-
venting child abuse.
In addition to support-
ing United For Families'
Stop the Tears campaign,
Rep. Harrell has been
working with a Port St.
Lucie woman to include
emotional abuse in the
child abuse laws in Florida.
After Rep. Harrell speaks,
members of the communi-
ty and the United For Fam-
ilies staff will adorn an oak
tree with 400 blue ribbons
to signify the children in St.
Lucie, Martin, Indian River
and Okeechobee counties
who are in foster care, said
Christina Kaiser, director
of development for United
For Families.
"Foster care is a tempo-
rary and is a safe place to
stay while we work .to
improve the home," Mrs.
Kaiser said. "Child abuse is
still, an issue. We still have
children being hurt and we
need to do something."
Not all children removed
from their homes because
of abuse are automatically
sent to foster homes, Mrs.
Kaiser said. The agency
tries to place children with
family members first.
On the Treasure Coast,
there are 1,800 children
not living in their homes.
"It's been up for several
years because of the hurri-
canes, and we want- to
bring it down to 1,300
because that is traditional-
ly the number given for
our size community," Mrs.
The Stop the Tears cam-
paign will also be brought
to television, thanks to a
donation from the law firm
of Reich and Mancini. Mrs.
Kaiser said the firm donat-
ed more than 300 televi-
sion advertisement spots
to United For Families.
"We're very excited
about this," Mrs. Kaiser
said.
While the campaign to
end child abuse continues
throughout the year, the
highlight will be the Stop
the Tears 5K Fun Rmun and 1
Mile Walk on May 5, in the
community of Tradition.

Stomping mad

I went to a park the other day and I noticed the place
seems to be going downhill.
I asked someone why the maintenance man wasn't
around, and was told that he was gone because of so-
called budget cuts.
I think this is a sad day, when Martin County gets rid of
the working end of the government, yet it keeps the dead-
beat managers and bureaucrats who waste all of the rev-"
enue.
My taxes seem to be increasing, while I receive less for
my investment.
I've lived in this county for 50 years, and I've never seen
anything like this. I thought that the administrator said,
during the state of the county address, that he was going
to run Martin County government like a big business.
All of you responsible for screwing up the budget should
prepare to lose your jobs, starting with that administrator.
We are stomping mad about this!

Response to "Pro-life means
more than just words"

I read and re-read this person's rant in last week's paper. I
really tried to find something that I could agree with in the
position taken. There was nothing found.
I'll go point for point in trying to express my views.
*"Maintaining overpopulation among low-income is to
provide them with a cheap labor force" is absurd.
This isn't the days of slavery, when we needed to "har-
vest" strong blacks to bring in the crops.
*"A fetus is alive only in the same sense as, a cancer
tumor is alive. It is a parasite, not a separate being," is
beyond reason.
This person is whacked. Life begins at conception. As
soon as cells begin dividing, there is life. Yes, the mother is
the host, but that doesn't mean life's process hasn't begun.

Be Careful with
Beta-Carotene

Dear Editor:

Due to the recent press
regarding the use of syn-
thetically-produced beta-
carotene, that is, beta-
carotene in supplement
form such as the pills typ-
ically sold in stores, in
regard to increases in the
rates of lung cancer and,
prostate cancer, and
increased mortality in
smokers, we ;:are now
advising our patients with
age., related; macular
degeneration not to use
synthetic beta-carotene.
An article ,from the
American cancer Society
says that the cancer
research campaign. has
called for warning labels
on beta-carotene supple-
ments to caution smokers
that such supplements
may increase the risk of
lung cancer.
Several age-related eye
disease study formula
vitamins marketed
toward patients who have
age related macular
degeneration contain up
to 10 times the U.S.


required daily allowance
for beta-carotene.
Recent ophthalmic
reports indicate that there
is no beneficial or harm-
ful effect on the incidence
of age related macular
degeneration and the use
of beta-carotene supple-
ments.
Long-term supplemen-
tal use of beta-carotene
neither decreases nor
increases the risk of
developing age related
macular degeneration.
At East Florida Eye Insti-
tute, our patients are
advised to use only vita-
min supplements that do
not contain vitamin
A/beta-carotene, such as
I-CAPS MV, or Baush &
Lomb Preservision with
Lutein. As always, con-
sult with your personal
physician before starting
or stopping any medica-
tion or supplement.
It is important to note
that these results have
been observed in beta-
carotene supplements,
and not in foods with nat-
urally occurring beta-
carotene.

An acorn isn't a giant oak tree without nutrients, sun, and
water. If any part of the process is denied, it will die.
Should we, of superior intellect, be a part of terminating
a living person?
There was a time when preventing a pregnancy was
entirely up to the male. It hasn't been so for many decades.
If you want to have a sexual romp, that's fine, but it no
longer needs to result in a pregnancy.
Once there was a law which stated that an abortion
could be granted in the case of rape, incest, or if the life of
the mother was endangered.
With very young girls getting pregnant, I could expand this
ruling slightly.
Having an abortion is a decision that will have a lasting
affect on definitely the mother, and also the father. They
will think back on" what if."
This is where the parents must be involved with a minor
in their charge. For abortions to be kept from the parents
is wrong.
For a minor to have a tooth extracted, a parent must give
their OK.
How life altering is a pregnancy? '
*The ranter seemed to feel that an increase in the mini-
mum wage would help feed a family not able to make ends
meet.
Recently Lyndon B. Johnson's "war on poverty" has shown
that many are taking advantage of the welfare system.
A job at Burger King is not to be your goal in life. Many
know that, and have gone on to greater heights.
*Habitat for Humanity is a fine organization. They do
very good work, and I support their efforts.
Although Americans are the most giving in the world, it is
still up to the individual, with a bit of help from others, to
make it on their own.
It is the American way, and the American dream to strive
with hard work.
I'll soon be a grandfather by my daughter, and daughter-
in-law.
It's a very exciting time. With the new technology, it is
possible to track the development of the baby. It is some-
thing that all parents should have access in knowing that
there is life forming.
South Carolina has a law that will probably be passed to
allow those thinking about an abortion to see a sonogram
of the life they are about to discard.
Being informed is a powerful tool. God bless.

Good preachers teach, they don't slam

This is a response to the rant titled "Freedom of speech,
or ignorance."
I will start out by saying that I am a Christian, and I go to
a Christian church that teaches from the Bible, which is
God's breathed word brought to us by certain few who
were chosen, and taught by Jesus in order that our souls
would be saved.
When God created man, he gave the ability to make deci-
sions and exercise free will. Vast majorities of people
believe that they can do whatever goes through their
minds to do. Well, surprise, God isn't of the same opinion.
He gave us the Bible, which is to be used as a guide for our
daily living.
There are some churches today that preach words con-


N
/

N
(
C,


trary to what God wants us to learn.
Jesus came to this earth the same way we do, but he died
a most tragic death for our sins, in order that our souls
would have eternal life in heaven.
Jesus gave God's word to those certain few in order that
they could continue his ministry once he was no longer
here.
The Bible tells us about God's commands, and is very
explicit about what the end result will be if those com-
mands are not followed.
Yes, God gave man free will and the ability to make deci-
sions, but he does expect us to make the correct decisions.
The preachers who preach things contrary to God's will,
such as homosexuality and related lifestyles not accept-
able to God, will be judged much harsher than those who
are trying their best to live the way god expects.
Good preachers who study and understand God's word
are not judging or slamming others. They are just trying to
make all in attendance aware of God's expectations of us
as his creations, and what he commands us to do.
In other words, they are trying to save our souls.
As far as homosexuality is concerned, it is a sin that is
condemned by God. Those who choose this lifestyle, or
any other type of similar lifestyles, are condemning their
souls, which will not see the kingdom of God.
So, we can safely say that any preacher who is teaching
God's word as written in the Bible is only trying to save
souls.
God help this nation if that right is taken away.
Jesus died on the cross for all mankind; God gave him the
authority to be our judge when the time comes.
One other very important fact the Bible tells us is that
any nation that forsakes God will fall. We can see today
how our society is literally falling apart.
Good decisions by many people that would benefit this
nation are no longer being made.
The person who voiced this rant is showing us another
way in which our society is disintegrating ,
Matthew 7:1-14 explains exactly what we are seeing
today, not just in this country, but also around the world.
There is only one important fact. God will have the last
word.
As far as other cultures are concerned, if God, our creator
and Christ Jesus, his son and our Lord and Savior, are not
the center of their culture, they will fall as well.
God expects us to live for him, and if we do, the end
result will be eternal life in heaven.
Yes, there is a heaven and a hell. Ask yourself, where do
you want to be. I knowwhere I want to be, and I can only
hope that I will someday be worthy enough to be with God
and his son.
God be with this nation, and help us to make the deci-
sions in our lives that will be pleasing to him.

Thank you

I would like to say something about James Tucker's col-
umn.
My name is Linda and I look forward to the column
every week.
I cannot tell you how much it has meant to me to have

From page A6
this little spiritual reminder coming to me every week.
I am so grateful to Mr. Tucker, and all he has done to keep
me on the path.
When I read the column I feel so uplifted, and I remem-
ber who I am and what life's about.
We never know how we will touch people's lives, and Mr.
Tucker has become a good friend to me!
I thank him for all he does. I'm sure he is a blessing to
many.

Let's catch up with the numbers
I wonder when the news media is going to catch up with
what is happening to our pets.
Repeatedly on television, and in newspapers there have.
been reports of 16 pets dying from recalled food.
Is my dog the one dog that died, or is it that the media is
incorrectly informed?
We have been online for several days now reading report
after report of people losing their beloved pets.
Our mixed breed was 14, but healthy, when she got sick.
We didn't run to the vet right away, but as she stopped eat-
ing and drinking, we felt something else was going on.
Then the recall began, and the numbers on our canned
dog food matched the numbers on the recall. By the time
we got our dog to the vet it was too late and we lost her due
to renal failure.
The company knew that something was wrong. They
continued to sell poisoned products.
Now I want to know, who do we hold responsible for this,
and when will the news begin reporting correctly what is
happening in communities all over the United States?
It is more than "15 cats and one dog". I understand that
seven "test" animals died.
What I don't understand is this: If they are waiting for
"confirmed" reports, how did they confirm what the 16
animals died from, since just yesterday they found what
chemical was in the food?
The 16 deaths have been in the news all week.

More on hate crimes bill

Evidently the Ranter on "Freedom of Speech Threat-
ened," did not check his facts for accuracy.
The "Hate Crimes Bill" proposed by U.S. Senators Orrin
Hatch (R-Utah) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) has the
support of most Democrats and many Republicans
including, Senators Gordon Smith (R-Ore), Arlen Specter
(R-Pa.), Lincoln Chaffe (R-R.I.), Norm Coleman (R-Minn.),
Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Olympia Snow (R-Maine).
It has been carefully crafted to assure freedom of speech
as defined by Supreme Court rulings.
If a Pastor in Sweden was thrown in jail for violating their
laws, that has no relevance to the laws in the United States.
This will not take away the right to "preach the Bible
from the pulpit," unless that preaching incites violence
against any one or group. None of the ministers I know
would do any such thing.


As for the fairness doctrine, with the concentration of
ownership of the media in fewer hands, there is a danger
of media control, by the richest people, of all information.
Attempting to control by the Federal Communications
Commission creates too many opportunities for evasion.
A better approach would be to strengthen and enforce
the antitrust laws to prevent the concentration of power in
the hands a small group of obscenely rich plutocrats.
Consider the words of Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attor-
ney General:
"We're not a democracy. It's a terrible misunderstanding,
and a slander to the idea of democracy, to call us that. In
reality, we're a plutocracy: a government by the wealthy..."
President Dwight Eisenhower said, "In the councils of
government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by
the military-industrial complex. The potential for the dis-
astrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
This same warning holds true for the concentration of
wealth in the hands of a relatively small group of billion-
aires.


Let's really not leave children behind
"No child left behind" what does this phrase really
mean in the United States?
I know what the intent of that phrase means in Europe.
Rather than stoop to a system of mediocrity that the U.S.
has concocted over many, many years, our trans-Atlantic
brethren created (and) funded alternative avenues of edu-
cation.
High school students overseas determine their direction
in life through test scores. If one is not academically quali-
fied, tech schools are available in all specialties.
In the U.S., social promotion and grade retention has
been the answer to dealing with slow learners. (Read

The result is that the slow learner becomes a burden to
this system of education.
The reasons why our system of education is mediocre
(are) multifaceted:
Instead of providing (and) funding multi-directional
education, all financial resources are focused on "pushing
(and) squeezing" all the students (toward) college.
Schools are desperately trying to raise their scores, and
teachers are blamed for the slow learners.
Also the media has made us believe that it is acceptable
to look down on blue-collar workers.
All this pushing and shoving (toward) college has caused
an acute shortage of qualified technicians in all specialties.
(Read: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?sto-
ryld= 7504120)
The education system in the U.S. needs to embrace the
needs of all students in recognizing their specialties. These
specialties should be realized in the provision of quality
learning centers in all fields of endeavor.


Don't hog the mailing supplies

(For those) who have a home business, it (is) very frus-


treating when we are unable to get mailing supplies.
It is bad enough that the postal rates are increasing more
often than us want to think about.
Here is a suggestion:
If you need a lot of supplies for mailing, that is one thing.
But if you just take them for the sake of taking them -
shame on you.
Maybe the post office should put the supplies behind the
counter and let these people wait in line.
If these people don't have a.good reason for taking bulk
supplies the post office should charge them a fee.

Democrats' end date for war
would be disastrous

I remember a few weeks ago in Rants & Raves a woman
said she was voting for Hillary Clinton because she was a
woman.
I guess it doesn't matter how Hillary stands on the issues
as long as she's a woman.
According to that logic, all blacks will vote for (Barack)
Obama, and all of those with great hair will vote for (John)
Edwards.
It doesn't matter that Hillary and the rest of the Democ-
rats support a certain date for the withdrawal of troops
from Iraq.
And what's wrong with that you might ask?
You mean besides telling our enemy that you intend to
lose by default on a certain date in the future and give the
enemy exactly what they want?
That you are telling the enemy and the rest of the world
America will withdraw and give any future enemy what
they want, because we don't have the will to win?
Or how about the fact you are telling our troops you don't
think they can win and it really doesn't matter if they do -
the sacrifices they have made are irrelevant.?
When you say you will leave on a certain date no matter
what is happening on the ground you are conceding
future defeat.
What if on that date, say Nov. 1, 2008, you are so close to
victory, but now,; by law, you have to leave.
Imagine if we had to close down World War II one month
after D-Day because the war wasn't going so good in 1943.
If that last sentence confuses you, maybe you should try
reading some history.
Why can't people see you are giving the enemy just what
they want?
This is an enemy that has said they want our destruction.
This is an enemy that performs beheadings.
This is an enemy that blows up its own children.
This is an enemy that is evil.
By just conceding defeat are we ignorant, blind or are we
suicidal?
Maybe it's all of the above.

Tired of complainers

This rant has been building up for some time.
I'm getting a little tired of the folks who want to complain
about everything. Specifically those of every nationality

PALM CITY-- If you see
the vehicle they refer to as
"Big Bird," you under-
stand why the business is
so aptly titled Extreme
Performance Truck and
Trailer.
However, it would be a
mistake to assume that
this monster of a truck
with the extra horsepower
and bright yellow cus-
tomized paint job is the
only type of service
offered by this Palm City
business.
Open for almost three
years, Extreme Perfor-
mance is a customizing
shop that offers so much
more.
"We take the vehicles
and customize them to
the personality of the cus-
tomer," said Carlos
Pereira, co-owner and
general manager. "We do
everything to the
extreme."
As an example, Mr.
Pereira said they- have
replaced the stock sus-
pension in trucks and
replaced them with air
bags.
"You have the feeling
that you are riding on air,"
said Mr. Pereira, adding
that the height of the sus-
pension is adjustable to
meet legal requirements.
Located in a 5,000-
square-foot showroom
with a 10,000-square-foot
shop, the six employees of
Extreme Performance
bring with them com-
bined experience and
skills of over 100 years,
said Mr. Pereira.
'"As far as our sales peo-
ple and our installers go,
they are some of the most
knowledgeable and the
most courteous in Florida.
They all have specific
skills, but they work very
well together as a team."

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS


John Pierson knows the
value of Martin Memori-
al's mother-baby home
visitation program.
"As parents of three
children, including a 22-
month-old baby and
another child on the way,
my wife, Amy, and I know
how beneficial Martin
Memorial's visitation pro-
gram is for new parents,"
Mr. Pierson said in a
release. "We wanted to
help Martir Memorial
continue this important
program for people in the
community."
That's why Pierson,
owner of Toyota of Stuart,
volunteered to donate the
use of a Toyota Corolla to
the nurses who make the
program possible.
Prior to Pierson's dona-
tion, the three nurses
who make John Pierson
knows the value of Martin
Memorial's. mother-baby
home visitation program.
"As parents of three
children, including a 22-
month-old baby and
another child on the way,
my wife, Amy, and I know
how beneficial Martin
Memorial's visitation pro-
gram is for new parents,"
Mr. Pierson said in a
release. "We wanted to
help Martin Memorial
continue this important

That's why Pierson,
owner of Toyota of Stuart,
volunteered to donate the
use of a Toyota Corolla to
the nurses who make the
program possible.
Prior to Pierson's dona-
tion, the three nurses
who make the home visits
had to use their own vehi-
cles, adding an additional
10,000 miles to each indi-
vidual nurse's car.
The mother-baby pro-
gram started in 1988 and
has blossomed over the
years, providing universal
home visitation by regis-
tered nurses to all new
mothers and babies
delivered at Martin
Memorial Medical Cen-
ter.
The program is the only
one of its kind in Florida
and is considered a "best
practice" program by the
Office of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Preven-
tion. Though the program
is voluntary, 98 percent of
all clients accept the serv-
ice.
The focus of the visit is
on family bonding and
the well being of mothers,
fathers and babies. The
home visit includes phys-
ical assessments of moth-
er and baby, as well as
infant care and. feeding
with an emphasis on
breast-feeding support
and education.
Also included are safety
assessments for homes,
car seat information and
pool safety. A key compo-
nent of the visit is early
identification of risk fac-
tors, which are promptly
referred or reported to
the appropriate agency or
provider.
The need for the service
continues to expand as
the population grows.
Martin Memorial has
had a record number of
births at the hospital for
three consecutive years,
with 2,209 babies setting
a new mark in 2006.
"We are very grateful to
Mr. Pierson and Toyota of
Stuart for this generous
contribution," said Kathy
Rowell, assistant vice
president for maternal-
child services.


Extreme
From page A8
Mr. Pereira himself
began his career at the age
of 19, when he worked at a
discount auto parts store
for seven years. From
there, he worked for anoth-
er seven years at an after-
market accessory compa-
ny in West Palm Beach. He
was able to merge those
two areas of expertise into
the business he now co-
owns.
The customization does-
n't stop with the outside of
the vehicles.
"We do a lot of audio-
video installations, as well
as a satellite system. You
can have a satellite TV in
your car, just like you do in
your home," said Mr.
Pereira.
"We also install GPS nav-
igation, DVD and stereo


components and internet
systems in the vehicles," he
said.
Extreme Performance
isn't just about trucks. They
are experts at customizing
high-end vehicles such as
Mercedes, BMW and even
Lamborghinis. Their repu-
tation and skills have


developed to the point
where area dealerships
recommend Extreme Per-
formance to customers
who want to make their
vehicles unique.
The business offers a
complete line of truck and
trailer accessories and cus-
tom grilles, door handles,


exhaust systems, tires and
rims.
Mr. Pereira is proud to be
a business owner in Martin
County.
"We try to promote an
enjoyable, happy work-
place," he said. "And we
want to thank all the peo-
ple of Martin County for


being part of our customer
base."

Donnon said.
Mr. Kennon's record is
long, but there are no
rapes. He was charged in
a hit-and-run death in


1995. Also during that
year, he was charged with
possession' of a firearm
while committing a
felony. There are numer-
ous drug convictions as
well, including posses-

intent to sell, manufac-

Because Mr. Kenon is
from the Philadelphia


area, detectives are also
communicating with
agencies there to see if
they can link him to any-
thing, Detective Donnon
said.
"He's a truck driver," the
detective said of Mr.

world. We have opened our
doors and hearts to all. We
are tolerant of everyone's
customs and religions and
beliefs and don't dictate

But there are groups who

misguided beliefs on us.
I have visited and lived

Cut school taxes

I think what we need to
do is tell the lawmakers
that besides the property
taxes the school taxes
should come down.
The state is responsible
because they mandate a
very high level for the
schools. If they (lower) the
mandate, that would
reduce the taxes.
The property taxes aren't
killing the people; I think
it's wasting money in the
school system. Time and
time again, you read it in
the paper. ,
Why don't we just get rid
of part of that? I think that
your tax bill for a year will
come down.
I think this would be a
step in the right direction
for our lawmakers. I went


to a meeting and nobody
brought up about school
taxes. This is what drove
my mom to the ground in
NewYork. The school taxes
ate her up because the
school tax was four or five
time higher than property
taxes and that is happen-
ing here.
They're just throwing the
money away at different
things instead of doing
what they should be doing.

Sunnis vs..
the Shiites?

The people who seem to
think that it's the Sunnis
fighting the Shiites in Iraq
are absolutely putting their
heads in the sand.
In my opinion, it's the
terrorists who are instigat-
ing the Sunnis against the
Shiites and they are com-
ing from Iran and Syria
who are doing all of the
instigating.
The leaders of Iran and
Syria want Iraq for them-
selves. They don't want a
democracy in Iraq because
the people in the countries
might overthrow them to
become a democracy.
Come on, Democrats,
wake up. Get your heads
out of the sand and unite
beside the people who see
the way it is.
Remember Sept. 11.
Unite for all the men and
women who are protecting
us and the world against
the terrible terrorists.
The terrorists owe no
allegiance to anyone. They
are evil. Kill them over
there or they will be here
killing us.

I EARL STEWART STEWARTA



An Open Letter to Florida Car DealIrs.

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee". !


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


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

parts, body shop,
and accounting.


r I


Virtually every car dealer ojfeauca
In Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a Sophisti
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 mIuch hig
to nearly $1,000. This extra
charge is programmed into
your computer. It has been made illegal in
many states including California, but is still
legal in Florida. The reason you charge this
fee is simply to increase the price of the car
and your profit in such a manner that it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
and when I stopped charging it a few years
ago It was scary. But I did it because I cold
no longer, in good conscience, mislead my
customers. Just because everybody else
was doing the same thing, did not make it
correct,


h


Now, here Is the goad 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
'tomers' able to eam the trust of more
customers in buying their new
ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.
tion and why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
nation 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,

When purchasing tires, pay
attention to speed rating (repre-
sented by an imprinted alphabet-
ical designation on the sidewall).
While any new tire sold in this
country must be capable of going
a minimum of 85 mph, many
tires are capable of running at
considerably higher speeds,
Although no one can be expected
to run his or her vehicle at such
high speeds (it Is against the
law), speed ratings provide
consumers with a qualitative
rating of the tire's quality and
performance. Thus, tires with
higher speed ratings, Including
S (112 mph), T (118 mph),
H (130 mph), V (149 mph),
W (167 mph) and Z (higher than
149 mph), are best able to with-
stand heat buildup and display
better handling characteristics.
It Is always Important to have the
correct components for. your
automobile, including tires. At
ADVANTAGE FORD OF STUART,
we always make sure that your
car, truck, or SUV receives the
correct parts. Located at 4000
S.E. Federal Highway, you can
trust us with your vehicle, we are
trained professionals. We service
most major makes and models In
addition to Ford and Lincoln/
Mercury cars. Questions? Call
772.781.6540.
HINT: In the final analysis, your
vehicle will only perform as well
as the tires' ability to grip the
road surface.

HUTCHINSON ISLAND
- Brazilian pepper trees
and Australian pines did not
exist on Hutchinson Island
2,000 years ago when Native
Americans lived there.
Both species were intro-
duced into Florida in the
late 1800's as ornamental
plants.
The seedlings of these
exotic plants blew around,
took root downward, grew
upward and went forward
spreading like a cancer all
over South and Central
Florida, which included
Hutchinson Island.
Mike Yustin, environmen-
tal. lands co-coordinator for
Martin County Parks and
Recreation said these exotic
trees have been choking the
life out of the natural plant
community on Hutchinson
Island, and they are on a
five-year mission to eradi-
cate them and help bring
restoration to the area.
"We are three years into
the restoration project and
about 75 percent done,"
said Mr. Yustin.
"The project is funded by
a grant from the Division of
Forestry from the state of
Florida. Working with vol-


unteers is very important to
the mission. They help cut
the costs in half,, which
allows us to spend the funds
on native plants."
Mr. Yustin said that more
than 20,000 native plants
will have been planted on
the island at the completion
of the project.
These plants will protect
environmentally sensitive
natural habitats from inva-
sive species and water ero-
sion. The habitats protected
include mangrove swamp,
threatened coastal strand
and coastal hammock plant
communities.
Each planting is minutely
planned and strategically
designed ahead of time
along with an irrigation sys-
tem specifically to water the
restored area.
The last planting took
place on March 24.
More than 40 volunteers
representing the Treasure
Coast Chapter of the
Surfrider Foundation, the
Martin County Surf Club,
the Martin County High
School Biology Club and the
Sierra Club planted more
than 600 native plants at
Santa Lucea Park located at
55 N.E. MacArthur Blvd.,
between the Indian River
Marriott Resort and the
House of Refuge.
Chris Shultz, co-chair-
man of the Treasure Coast
Chapter of the Surfrider
Foundation, is an active and
avid supporter of the proj-
ect.

"I like to help rally the
troops to plant because it is.
the right thing to do," said
Mr. Shultz.
"The restoration project is
important to the habitat, to
the marine eco-system, to
the fishermen and brings
back a delicate balance to
the coast."
Mr. Shultz said restoring
the native plant communi-
ties would keep the soil
from eroding and choking
the mangroves, which has
long-range implications
because these are the
spawning grounds for many
recreational fish.
Securing the soil from
erosion also preserves arti-
facts and historic informa-
tion found in the ground in
the prehistoric settlement
area.
Whitney Anderson, an
archeologist from the Fort
Lauderdale Archaeological
and Historical Conservancy,
was on hand at the Santa
Lucea planting day.
"We know that this partic-
ular area was a Tequesta
Indian settlement," said Ms.
Anderson. "Whenever a
prehistoric area is being dug
up or the soil is being over-
turned, we show up."
Ms. Anderson walked
around with a wooden
,screen box in one hand and
shovel and plastic baggy in
the other, preserving small
fragments of pottery 'and
other artifacts.

STUART At an age
when most people retire,
Jane Sumen switched
career paths from the
health care industry to the
building industry, and the
sixty-something general
contractor couldn't be hap-
pier with her decision.
Mrs. Sumen said her
wide-ranging life's journey
brought her to this new
chapter in her career.
"I believe in the theory of
evolution for careers," said
Mrs. Sumen. "You just grow
and move forward. You
start doing one thing and it


leads to another and anoth-
er it's a progression."
She believes the founda-
tion for her existing career
was laid on the first job she
held, and each job there-
after was another layer on
that foundation.
"My first job was a car-
diac surgery nurse, then I
went on to being a critical
care director and teacher,"
she said. "As the director I
was asked to be part of the
committee to oversee the
construction of the critical
care unit at the hospital."

Great vacations on a weak dollar are possible


The American dollar
closed out 2006 in a
bad spot, requiring
$1.30 to buy one Euro and
close to $2 to purchase a
British pound sterling.
This was, and is, great
news for Europeans
traveling to the United
States or Canada.
But for visitors heading
in the other direction, it's
quite a different, and
expensive story.
Americans and Canadi-
ans visiting Europe, or
some other a country that
ties its currency to the
Euro, are going to experi-
ence even worse sticker
shock than they have over
the past couple of years.
However, by using the
right strategies and the
expertise of travel profes-
sionals to help them make
good decisions, travelers
can minimize, or avoid
altogether, the inflated
prices caused by currency
shifts.

Consider visiting
Latin America

For the most part,
countries south of the
border are a safe currency
bet for U.S. and Canadian
travelers.
Most Latin American
countries tie their curren-
cy to the dollar officially, or
in practice, and some
actually use the U.S. dollar
as their own.
In this region, there has
been little to no loss of
dollar value and many

Travel columnist
countries in Central and
South America can offer
an excellent value at all
budget levels.
Costa Rica is a good
example and a wonderful
destination as American
tourists are welcomed year
round.

Pick European
destinations carefully

Going to the most
popular destinations in
Europe can feel like a
shopping trip to Tiffany's,
with $100-taxi rides,
$500- hotels and routine
restaurant lunches that
can top $150.
Traveling on escorted
tours with reputable tour
operators can help you
avoid those unpleasant
surprises, because you
will benefit from whole-
sale and group rates.
For those looking
* forward to traveling to
Europe, expand your
horizons and visit areas
where demand has not

driven prices to such lofty
levels.
Eastern Europe and
Turkey are perfect choic-
es for European aficiona-
dos, as those countries
are still significantly
cheaper than Western
Europe.
To reap even greater,
discounts, stay away from
big cities.
Also, prices in Portugal
and rural Spain have
stayed relatively stable,
and these destinations can
represent a savings of 30 to
40 percent over nations to
the north.

Visit the U.S. for
some surprises and
values

Too few travelers either
think or talk the great
destinations our country
has to offer.
With last-minute afford-
able airfares so prevalent,
and the great highway
system, it makes sense to
be flexible and look at
what is available right here
at home.
There are many places
worth visiting across the
U.S. and most of these
destinations are doing
everything in their power
to make your stay.memo-
rable, offering everything
from new museums and
performance halls to free
seasonal outdoor concerts.
Also, if you go to such
places as Kansas City,
Austin, Texas or Cheyenne,
Wyo., you can find accom-
modations at half price or
cheaper than they are in
larger cities.
The local amenities are
truly exceptional in overall
value.
In fact, most Americans
and Canadians are actually
within a few hours drive of
a great destination they
have never visited.
Maybe this summer or

excellent travel value in
the U.S. and NorthAmeri-
ca.

Other
destinations

Of course, if you have
been planning for a
special vacation and have
a long distance in mind,
consider the islands of the
Pacific.
They may offer an
excellent combination of
amenities and value for
dollar.
Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji,
Australia and New
Zealand are excellent
vacation destinations that
represent good value for
the U.S. dollar.
Looking for a true
adventure? Consider
Africa.
There are excellent
values and locations that
you can visit in Africa that
are safe, exciting and still
represent great value.
However, these long-
distance vacations usually
require more than a week
to make the journey
worthwhile and take in the
sights properly.
I Finally, a vacation
represents an investment
of your time and money.
Whenever possible
consider using the
resources and expertise of
a travel professional who
will give you the best
travel advice and the
highest return for your
vacation travel dollar.
Until the actual trip,

tion through that first proj-
ect.
"I learned about permits,
asking the right questions,
building codes, hard hats
and everything in
between," Mrs. Sumen said.
She said her next step
was hospital administrator
and it was there that she
was asked to be part of
another large construction
project for the Intensive
Care Unit.
"I believe it was these
projects that helped devel-
op an interest in the con-
struction industry," she
added.
She said the human body
is probably one of the bbst
analogies of a great working
structure. With that in mind
it was easy for her to see
similarities with the con-
struction industry.
"Think about it, "she said
with a smile.. "Both the
human body and building
structures have and need
mechanical, electrical and
plumbing."
She left the hospital to fol-
low her. next career step,
which was to own and oper-
ate an assisted living facility
and home health care
agency.
She' did this for more than


five years, but when her
husband passed away she
felt it was time to leave the
health care industry alto-
gether and do something
new.
She not only had a nurs-
ing degree and a degree in
health care administration,
but also had her masters in
business administration as
well.
With that degree she.
started a business consult-
ing firm.
She said Ed Young and
Fred Shafer hired her as a
consultant for their new
business, which was called
Concrete Holdings based
out of Stuart.
The company has three
subsidiary companies with-
in the corporation, which
are Innovative Engineering
Technologies, Innovative
Construction Technologies
and Innovative Material
Technologies.
"It was during this time
the doors were opened for
me to step into the con-
struction industry, she
said. "Ed and Fred asked
me to join them as a part-
ner."
As a partner she soon
found herself taking the
general contractors exam
or the state of Florida to
cover more ground.
Last November she sat
dovyn and took the general
contractors exam.

"It was funny to see how
it all worked out. I had
enough experience and
education to sit down and
pass the exam. Only three
percent of the people who
take it pass," she said.
She said she is excited
about being the chief
financial officer and gener-
al contractor of the tech-
nology company and is
also excited about its
future.
"We are the only compa-
ny in the world who takes
out old concrete, injects a
corrosion arrester and
stops the erosion dead in
its tracks. It is a time saver
and a permanent repair,
and we are the only ones
with the technology," Mrs.
Sumen said.
Craig Lacey, chief esti-
mator of Innovative I/Engi-
neering Technologies, said
he never had a woman
boss before excepting,
he says jokingly, his wife.
"Mrs. Sumen is a brilliant
woman," said Mr. Lacey.
"She is very kind and I like
having her for a boss. Her
intelligence and dealing
with people and situations
is vital for this company."
For now, Mrs. Sumen
said being a GC and CFO is
a great career, but one
thing is in the back of her
mind to do sooner than
later get a motorcycle
and ride.

Author Douglas Burgess
will discuss his book,
"Seize the Trident: The
Race for Superliner
Supremacy and How it
Altered the Great War" at
the Blake Library in Stuart
on Wednesday, April 26.
Mr. Burgess' work is a
re-creation of the Anglo-
German race to build the
biggest, fastest, most lux-
urious passenger ships in
the world, among them
the Olympic, the Maureta-
nia, the Deutschland, and
the Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Sparked in 1889 by the
Kaiser's declaration that
he would "seize the tri-
dent" from English ship-
ping firms, the race began
as a friendly rivalry that
soon became a clash of
fierce national pride, per-
sonal ego, and global
ambitions.
In a program that will
interest maritime enthusi-
asts, history buffs, and

Your heart is like a deep well of creativity continually

you see less of the good things happening. The best
sign of slipping off the spiritual path is when you
begin to worry about the earthly stuff and lose sight
of the higher good.

Gemini-May 21 -June 21
One of the main reasons for your success is because
of your hard work and devotion to duties. Whether it
is with family, friends or work, you always sense
what needs to be done and then you do it

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Life continues to present challenges because of your
active lifestyle. How you handle them is the key to
your happiness and success. It is usually unwise to
take on more than two or three important projects at
once. Finish what you start before going on to new
things.
Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
It is important to make daily affirmations for the good
you have been given in life. Be thankful daily for all
the love, peace, health, abundance and joy you have.


All this good has been possible because of your own
hard work and faith in the higher powers.

No matter what your mood and attitude is upon

Your heart literally sings when you have a chance to

Alligator exhibit promises family fun


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS
FORT PIERCE The St. Lucie County
Historical Museum's exhibit; "Alliga-
tors: Dragons in Paradise," will be on
display through Monday, April 30. The
exhibit, on loan from the Museum of
Florida History, explores Florida's alli-
gator fact and fascination from prehis-
toric times through modern day.
"Alligators have been in Florida
longer than humans, and about 1 mil-
lion alligators reside in the state today.
Residents and tourists are quite curi-
ous about these dangerous and myste-
rious reptile neighbors of theirs," said


Anne Sinnott, the museum educator,
in a press release. "The exhibit answers
many of their alligator questions."
Although there are no real alligators
at the exhibit, there are alligator speci-
mens to touch.
This family-friendly exhibit displays
hides and specimens, alligator history
and legends, and souvenirs and mem-
orabilia. The museum also features a
re-creation of an alligator nest and
eggs, a comparison of alligators and
crocodiles, an alligator IQ test, and
photo opportunities.
S"'Alligators: Dragons in Paradise" is
featured among the historical muse-


um's 16 permanent exhibits of local
history that offer an entertaining and
educational journey through the early
history of the county.
The St. Lucie County Historical
Museum is located at Museum Pointe
Park, 414 Seaway Drive, on the south
causeway island in Fort Pierce. The
Fort Pierce Inlet is nearby.
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and
from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
For more information or to book a
group tour or pontoon boat tour of the
Indian River Lagoon, call Anne Sinnott

JENSEN BEACH It will
be raining plastic Easter
eggs in Jensen Beach on
April 8.
Bring the kids to collect
the 10,000 eggs that fall
from the sky at the sec-
ond annual Easter
Eggstravaganza sched-
uled for 12:15 p.m. on
Sunday, April 8, at
Pineapple Park in Jensen
Beach, which is directly
behind Jensen Beach
High School on Jensen
Beach Blvd.
Treasure Coast Com-
munity Church in Jensen
Beach is hosting the egg
drop with the hope of
doing outreach for the
church's ministry.


Gary Blodgett, Treasure
Coast Community
Church children's pastor,
said the church wanted
to do something for the
community that shared
God's love and was safe
for parents and kids.
"We did this last year
and dropped 5,000 plas-
tic Easter eggs," said Pas-
tor Gary. "This year we
doubled the count and
are dropping 10,000. The
kids have a blast and so
do the adults. We like to
provide fun and promote
family time."
A helicopter is sched-
uled to carry the eggs to
the park and do the drop.
Frank Leon, owner of
South Florida Heli-
copters in Indiantown
has done many drops


You are invited
6 -r to participate
S in a clinical
research trial

* Must be 65 to 75 years of age

Michael E. Schwartz, D.O. Jupite search


from a helicopter for golf
tournaments. He will be
doing the drop in the
park and said it is safe for
the kids and thinks it's
neat to do for them.
"We will load the eggs
into buckets and fly up
about 50 feet above the
target and pour them
out," said Mr. Leon. "To
keep it safe, the children
are not underneath the
target area. After we
leave, the kids run out
and collect as many as
they can."
Each egg collected is
worth a prize, as each
colored egg represents a
gift value.
A prize table will be set
up for the children to col-
lect their prizes. Prizes
include, 15,000 pieces of
candy, bouncy balls,
bracelets, cash, swim-
ming pools, inflatable
toys, video game system,
and more.
At the event the church
will also be giving away
the Nintendo's Wii video
game.
To register for a chance
to win the game system
your child must register
at the church before Sun-
day service at 9:50 a.m.
The winner will be
announced at 12:30 p.m.
after the egg drop.
Participants must reg-
ister for the egg drop
either before Sunday
service at 9:50 a.m. or at
the park at 11:30 a.m.
The event is free and
open to the public.

Stuart's band will perform


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

The Stuart Community
Band will perform a free
concert featuring Broad-
way show tunes, pops, clas-
sics, and Sousa marches
and a tribute to Ray Charles
and Earth, Wind and Fire
next Sunday, April 15.
Since the early 1900s, the
city of Stuart has had its
own community band.
Originally named The Mar-
tin County Community
Band, the volunteer musi-
cians performed at holiday
and community celebra-
tions. In 1945, asWorldWar
II came to an end, so did
the band.
In 1993, the band was
resurrected under the lead-
ership of Judy Close, of the
Martin County School
Board Adult Education Pro-
gram, Phil Ostendorf,
music teacher, and Claire
Merkel, trumpet player.
Now, the band is cele-
brating its 14th season.
Conductor Steve Gardner
of Louisville, Ky., will lead


the 55-piece band at the
Blake Library auditorium,
2351 S.E. Monterey Road,
in Stuart.
Showtime is 3 p.m.
The band will also play
on Thursday, April 29, at St.
Martin de Porres Catholic
Church, 2555 N.E. Savan-
nah Road, in Jensen Beach.
Musical selections will
include tunes by The Beat-
les, TV comedy theme
songs from the 1960s, and
music by Louis "Satchmo"
Armstrong.
Mr. Gardner, a profes-
sional trombonist and
music teacher, was the
recipient of the "Teacher of
the Year" award at three
schools in Kentucky and
Miami during his 23-year
career.
He has played with the
Miami Symphony, Miami's
Top Brass, and was in back-
up bands for Whitney
Houston, Mel Torme and
other celebrities. He
became conductor in Janu-
ary 2007 upon the retire-
ment of the band's long-
time music director Alan


Fetterman.
The all-volunteer band
rehearses on Monday
evenings year round from 7
to 9 p.m. at the Stuart
Recreation Center, 201 S.W.
Flagler Ave.
Members of the band
range from high school stu-
dents to retirees. New tal-
ent and prospective musi-
cians are encouraged to
audition.
The Stuart City Commis-
sion and Parks and Recre-
ation Department provide
the band with rehearsal
space. However, the band
gets no direct financial sup-
port from the city. It relies
on financial contributions
from the public to pur-
chase music and instru-
ments.
To make a donation,
send a check payable to the
Stuart Community Band to
Phil Ostendorf, Stuart
Community Band, 3331
S.E. Fairway West, Stuart,
FL 34997.
For more information,

Romancing the Stove

Delicious
choices for a
great Easter
dinner
Hello smart shoppers,
hope you had a good
week.
This Sunday is Easter. I
usually forego tradition and
make an American meal.
Since Jesus was "the
sacrificial lamb," lamb is a
traditional Easter dinner.
However, all family
members do not like lamb.
Serving two different meats
solves the problem.
A friend shared her Greek
brother-in-law's recipe for
"Greek Easter lamb." It is by
far the best roast lamb I've
ever tasted.
After you've selected a leg
or half a leg of lamb, ask the
butcher to bone and tie it, if
you prefer it boneless.
Another popular choice
for Easter is Virginia ham.
When it comes to hams
the choices are confusing.
Many spend more than $4 a
pound for those spiral-
sliced hams. As far as I'm
concerned, you're wasting
your money.
Many times, smoked
hams are about $1 a pound
and are much better than
those expensive hams.
If you buy a half of ham,
buy a shank half. My late *
husband Bill's recipe is the
best. I have repeated it
every year just in case you
didn't save it.
Symbols of Easter
Most people know that
Easter is a joyous celebra-
tion of Jesus Christ's
resurrection. The story of
Easter comes from the Bible
in the New Testament.
Most of us know about


- ,~ :!' "1t .. ,..




the cross, but what about
the lamb, the Easter bunny
and colored eggs?
How do they fit into the
celebration and why?
Again I will turn to my
trusty encyclopedia.
* The cross: The cross
represents the crucifixion of
Christ. People in many
parts of the world make
special cakes called, hot
cross buns, Each cake has a
cross of icing on its crust.
* The lamb: The symbol of
the lamb comes from the
Jewish celebration of
Passover.
Jews sacrificed a lamb
during the traditional
Passover ceremony. To
Christians, Jesus was the
"sacrificial lamb," and "The
Last Supper" was the
Passover feast.
* Eggs: Eggs represent
new life that returns to
nature around Easter time
(the spring). Ancient
Egyptians and Persians
often dyed eggs in spring
colors to give as gifts.
The Persians believed the
earth hatched from a giant
egg.
* The bunny: In ancient
Egypt, the rabbit symbol-
ized birth and new life.
An old German legend
says a poor woman dyed


some eggs during a famine,
and hid them in a nest as an
Easter gift to her children.
Just as the children discov-
ered the nest, a big rabbit
leaped away. The story
spread that the rabbit had
brought the Easter eggs.
And there you have it.
To my Christian readers,
"First, remember what you
are celebrating and be sure
to tell your family and
friends all about Easter."
Blessings to you all; see
you next week.

Romancing
From page B9
cherries, optional

Trim fat from meat,
leaving a thin layer on top.
Using a sharp knife, score
top of meat in a criss-cross
pattern.
Mix the sugar and mus-
tard together and rub over
ham. Dot with cloves. Do
not salt since ham can be
salty.
Cut a piece of foil large
enough to encase the ham.
Place foil in roasting pan,
center ham.
Pour on the molasses and
the juice from the pineap-
ple. Bring the ends of the
foil up and encase the ham,
folding foil loosely at top so
steam can escape.
Bake in a 325-degree E
oven for 30 minutes a
pound.
About 1/2 hour before


meat is done, open foil and
cover meat with pineapple
slices secured with tooth
picks; place a cherry in each
pineapple center; baste and
roast uncovered until done.
Remove meat to serving
platter.
Place juices in saucepan
and de-fat by tossing in
several ice cubes. When
chilled, remove fat and
remaining cubes with a
slotted spoon. Heat and
serve as is, or thicken
slightly with a mixture of
cornstarch and water.
Raisins can be added for an
extra special touch.
Cook them in the sauce
for at least 10 minutes.

LEG OF LAMB
Serves 8-10

This is my original recipe

7-9 pound whole
or half leg of lamb
1 to 2 cloves garlic


Fresh or dried
rosemary
Salt and pepper
Mint sauce
(optional)


Cut garlic into thin
matchstick slivers. Cut slits
in roast and push in garlic
slivers.
Season generously with
black pepper and lightly
with salt and rosemary.
Place meat on rack in
roasting pan.
Brush lightly with mint
sauce and roast in a 325-
degree F oven for 30
minutes a pound for
medium, and 35 minutes a
pound for well done.
NOTE: Gravy is a must for
leg of lamb. Use ice cubes,
as explained above, to de-
fat the drippings. Prepare
the gravy with a mixture of
flour and water shaken in a
jar to blend. Use Gravy
Master (sold near ketchup)
to enhance color and


powdered golden bouillon
to enhance flavor if neces-
sary.

GREEK EASTER LAMB (NIB)
Serves 6-8

My friend, Gina Thomp-
son, is fortunate to have a
brother-in-law who is of
Greek descent and has
shared his family recipe.

1 large onion,
chopped
4 tablespoons
chopped garlic
1 large stalk of
celery, chopped
Several sprigs of
fresh oregano and
rosemary leaves,
stripped off the
stem or 1 tea-
spoons each dried
2 tablespoons
extra virgin olive
oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 teaspoons


each, salt and
pepper
Leg of lamb, about
6 pounds or more,
(bone in)
Flour
Potatoes and
carrots,
Optional:
2 cups beef gravy,
homemade or
canned

In a large skillet, place
chopped vegetables,
oregano and rosemary. Mix
together oil, lemon juice,
salt and pepper; pour over
mixture in skillet. Saute
until mixture is golden
turning frequently.
Remove mixture from pan
and set aside.
Dredge lamb with flour
and brown in remaining oil
adding more if necessary.
Let meat cool until it can
be handled. Make deep slits
in the meat stuffing in the
reserved vegetable mixture.


Use the rest on top and
around roast in the roasting
pan. Add water to come up
to 1-inch.
Roast in a preheated 325-
degree E oven 35 to 40
minutes a pound. One hour
before being done, add 2
cups beef gravy to the pan.
If you want the vegetables
cooked with the roast, add
them at the same time.
Remove roast, pour
drippings'into a saucepan
and de-fat by adding ice
cubes as explained in
previous lamb recipe.

my Guru, is available for
talks; call the newspaper at

Cancer recurrence


unsettles survivors


The news that Eliza-
beth Edwards' breast
cancer has returned
hit me in the gut.
It is a truism that breast
cancer survivors revel in
stories of survivorship
longer than their own and
cringe when they hear of
someone's cancer return-
ing, as if somehow that
affects their own progno-
sis.
We also hate to see some-
one suffer again.
The reality is that in 2007
breast cancer cannot be
cured.
I remember the first time
a doctor told me that my
disease was in remission. I
was startled, because I
considered myself cured.
People always ask, "Did
they get it all?"
The answer, sadly, is that
right now, doctors and sci-
entists treat the cancer as
aggressively as they can,
but they cannot guarantee
that it will not recur, and
they are not able, at this
time, to predict reliably
whose disease will return.
Anyone who has lived
with breast cancer as a
patient or a loved one
knows that a cancer diag-
nosis is all-consuming.
A wise counselor told me
that at first, cancer is the
elephant in the living
room that you bump into
every day and cannot
avoid.
Gradually, it becomes an
end table.
Still, every time you go
for a check-up or blood
work or mammogram, you
know that you are only one
test away from the diagno-
sis that will again change
your life forever.
You don't dwell on it; you
continue to live your life.
Sometimes, you even get
so busy that you forget that
you have an appointment
upcoming.
However, when you enter
a cancer center and see
patients going through


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
what you had gone
through, you allow your-
self to acknowledge the
fear that lurks deep within.
That's when you realize
that while many things in
your life are within your
control, this is not.
You can control how you
deal with your cancer, but
not whether it will return.
Mrs. Edwards, who has
lost a son in a car accident,
said that in a strange way,
there is comfort in know-
ing that you've been
through the worst you
could go through and sur-
vive.
.Many women I've met
who have not had breast
cancer are petrified of get-
ting such a diagnosis.
Perhaps the advantage to
having had it once is that
you know that you have,
the inner strength to carry
on and fight. You know the
drill, you know the doctors
and you know the strange
vocabulary.
Fear of the unknown can
be the greatest fear. Too
often, it keeps women
from getting mammo-
grams or from having
check-ups after their ini-
tial bout and treatment.
I have heard recurrent
breast cancer described as
a chronic illness, such as
diabetes, that must be
managed for the rest of
your life.
Like diabetes, if left

If you read my columns in
Hometown News, you
know all about the "deal-
er fee" scam perpetrated on
car buyers in Florida and
other states where it is still
legal.
This fee ranges from $495
to $995 and even higher. It is
profit to the dealer, but is
printed on the buyer's order,
disguised as a "fee" meant to
be confused with legitimate
state, local and federal fees,
similar to sales tax and
license fees.
Virtually every dealer in
Florida adds a dealer fee to
the price he quotes on a car.
In fact, when questioned,
many dealers' justification
is that "all dealers in Florida
charge a dealer fee."
Strange as it may seem,
Florida law prohibits a deal-
er from removing the dealer

fee from the price he gives a
customer. If he charges one
person a dealer fee, he must
charge all people. This is
also the rationale you might
hear if you object which, is
"Florida law will not allow
me to remove the fee."
The way to counter this
objection when haggling
about the dealer fee, is to tell
the salesman to reduce the
overall price by the amount
of the dealer fee and leave
the dealer fee alone.
The only control placed on
dealer fees by Florida law is
for advertised prices. This
law says that an advertised
price must include the deal-
er fee.
Dealers get around this by
advertising just one vehicle
at an advertised price with
"many more at similar sav-
ings."
If the one car that is adver-
tised is already sold, the
dealer can sell one just like it
and add back the dealer fee.
Unfortunately, I recently
discovered that there is a
loophole to this sole law to
protect the car buyer from
dealer fees.
The loophole is that lease
payments and prices, adver-
tised by multiple dealers in
the same ad, do not have to
include the dealer fee.
This means that if a man-
ufacturer advertises a price
on a new car listing several
dealers, the dealer fee can


EARL STEWART
On Cars


be excluded.
When I inquired about
this, I was told that this is to
permit manufacturers and
distributors to advertise the
same car priced from multi-
ple dealerships. I was told
they cannot include the
dealer fee, because each
dealer fee is usually differ-
ent.
That doesn't sound like a
very good excuse to me.
Ads including multiple
dealerships usually include
the names, phone numbers,
addresses and Web site
URL's of each dealer. Why
not list each dealer's "dealer
fee?"
You know the answer as
well as I. They don't want
you to know there is a dealer
fee, much less the amount
of the dealer fee.

The reason for the law
requiring advertised prices
include the dealer fee is very
clear. It is to prevent the
consumer from being
fooled into coming in on a
low price and then charged
a higher one. If that princi-
ple applies to one dealer's
ad, why doesn't it apply to
multiple dealers advertising
in one ad?
To comply with the same
law applying to one dealer,
all multiple dealer ads
would have to say is "price
plus tax, tag and dealer fee"
and beside each dealer's
name, list his particular
dealer fee.
This would also encour-
age dealers to lower their
dealer fees and even elimi-
nate them entirely.
Because I don't charge a
dealer fee, when my dealer-
ship is included in an ad
with seven other South
Florida dealerships, I have
the lowest price, but the
reader of the ad cannot
know that. The ad says,
"plus tax, tag and dealer
fees" in the fine print at the
bottom of the ad, but does
not disclose the amount of
the fees for each dealer.
The uninformed prospec-
tive car buyer can pay up to
$995 more for that adver-
tised car than he would pay
at my dealership because
the dealer fee amounts are
not disclosed.
Does that sound right to
you?

These ieas nave become
the foundation and inspira-
tion for the Spirit Guide
columns over the years.
So, you dear readers, have
become a great source of
wisdom for me and others
with an interest in knowing
how the universe thinks.
That wisdom has led to
the creation of the "Fantas-
tic Formula For Success,"
which has three principles,
in the following order.
Get hungry for truth
First is making the hunger
for spiritual truth a primary
desire.
Early in life, we learn fac-
tual knowledge about histo-,
ry, arithmetic, reading and
writing.
At puberty, hormones
take over and the desire to
have loving relationships
begins.
Later, we try to find our
rightful place in the world
and the workplace.
Most of us are so caught
up in the worldly pursuit of
survival that we forget about
feeding our soul and put
this need last.
However, the hungers we


Learn to love family
Second is the love of fami-
ly. Having love for others is a
sign of great conscience. It
keeps us healthy and honest
in the heart.
Love of family gives an
increased sense of higher
values. Spiritual and family
love are the two most
important things we ever
find in our search for happi-
ness.
Love is the most impor-
tant thing in life. The highest
gift of humanity is uncondi-
tional love. When we honor
the universe it wants to
honor us back.
Take time to play with
your family and tell them
everyday how much you
love them.
Get to work
The third thing is our
work.
When we have the spiritu-'
al and family love flowing, it
tips the scales of success in
our favor.
When we are happy on
the inside, we can be happy

Poisonous plants flourish in Florida


I am getting a lot of e-
mail requests to write
about some of the
most common poisonous
plants in Florida.
I have compiled a list of
some of the most com-
mon plants that we all
have in our yards and
gardens. Some of these
will shock you.
What you don't know
about some of these
common plants can be
deadly. Some parts of the
ornamental plants or
flowers in your yard may
contain a deadly poison.
The most susceptible to
being harmed are chil-
dren and pets.
* Oleander: One of the
most toxic and common
poisonous plants is the
oleander. This plant
contains a deadly heart
stimulant that resembles
the prescription drug
digitalis.
If a child eats a single
leaf or two from this plant
it could be deadly. There
have been several
instances of people dying
after eating meats that
were roasted on a wood
fire that contained
oleander twigs or branch-
es.
* Diffenbachia: Dief-
fenbachia, which is a
common tropical plant
that many of us have in
our homes, is also highly
toxic.
All parts of this plant are
poisonous.
If eaten, the plant can
cause intense burning
and irritation of your
mouth. The plant can be
deadly if enough swelling
occurs to block your
airway.
You should always wash


your hands after handling
this or any of the listed
poisonous plants.
* Azalea: All parts of the
Azalea plant can be toxic
if ingested. The symp-
toms include nausea and
vomiting along with
difficulty in breathing
and possibly coma. The
end result can be fatal.
* Jasmine berries:
These berries can cause
digestive problems along
with nervous system
disorders.
* Oak leaves: The
foliage from oak trees can
be toxic, but the effects
are gradual. If foliage is
ingested, it can slowly
affect your kidneys.
However, you need to
ingest a substantial
amount for severe poi-
soning to occur.
* Lantana: This plant,
which is commonly used
by many as a colorful
ground cover, is another
specimen that is toxic if
ingested.
Acute poisoning can
cause hemorrhagic
diarrhea and rapid heart
rate. '
* Other varieties:
Although this list includes
some of the most com-
mon plant varieties, there
are many more: milk-
weed, narcissus, daffodil,
poison oak, puslane and
snow on the mountain.
Bear in mind that just
because some of your
favorite plants can be
toxic if ingested, common
sense and keeping these
plants out of the reach of
small children and pets
can avoid tragedy.
Poinsettias not
poisonous: We have
talked a lot about com-


mon and seemingly
innocent plants that can
be toxic but here is one
plant that many people
think is deadly poisonous
but in reality, is harmless.
The plant I am referring
to is the poinsettia.
This plant is one of the
most widely produced in
the country.
During the holidays,
almost every household
has at least one adorning
their d6cor.
Fear not, as today's
commercially distributed
varieties are not poison-
ous.
There are some people,
however, that may get a
mild allergic reaction to
the milky sap if it comes
in contact with their skin.
The affected areas can be
washed with soap and
water to remove the sap if
irritation develops.
Poinsettia plants are not
a serious risk for animals,


although it is always best
to keep any plant out of
the reach of pets if they
like to chew plants.
* Philodendrons, et al:
Finally, there are several
common houseplants
that can be toxic to
animals and children.
Probably the most
common is the philoden-
dron. The toxic part is the
leaves. If ingested, it can
cause burning of the lips
and mouth and also
cause contact dermatitis
if the plant juice contacts
the skin.
Similar symptoms can
occur with pothos, golden
pothos and devil's ivy.

Council on Aging provides


help with elderly day care


BY WENDY DWYER
For Hometown News

Ed Goodwin used to
host a radio show called,
"Goody Goodwin's Origi-
nal Memory Lane." He
interviewed the biggest
acts of the 1960's and lived
a dream life.
But, a stroke five years
ago changed .everything
for Mr. Goodwin every-
thing except for his humor
and tenacity.
"Now, instead of 'Goody'
Goodwin," he jokes, "I'm
known as 'the big boss
with the hot sauce."'
He dispenses spicy sea-
soning andspicy repartee
to jazz up life at the Coun-
cil on Aging. "I think I like
that better."
Mr. Goodwin is fortu-
nate his family contacted
the Council on Aging of
Martin County to learn
about his life care options.
Instead of being forced
into a nursing home or an
assisted living facility, Mr.
Goodwin attends the Gene
C. Rifkin Adult Day Care
Center each weekday and
remains living at home
with family.
"This place is habit
forming," Mr. Goodwin
says. "You start coming
one day a week and pretty
soon you make it two or
three. You feel it when you
don't come like some-
thing is missing. It's the
people here we're a real
community."
According to Susie Nor-
ris, RN, BA, who is chief
nurse and quality assur-
ance administrator, the
Council on Aging provides


day care five days each
week from 7:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. for over 80 seniors in
Martin County.
Many participants are
dropped off by family
members on the way to
work while others are
picked up by the Council's
Community Coach.
When seniors arrive,
there is always something
going on to stimulate
them physically and men-
tally.
Whether it's brain aero-
bics and a trifle of trivia,
'art therapy, current events,
exercise that include
dancing to songs ranging
from rap music to the
golden oldies, building
better balance through
physical therapy or com-
munity service projects -
there is rarely a dull
moment.
However, when seniors
need quiet moments,
there is the "Family Room"
with a quiet, home-like
environment where sen-
iors enjoy the soothing
sounds of a water foun-
tain, the essence of laven-
der and other aromathera-
py scents, and tranquil
sounds on audio disks of
nature sounds or peaceful
music. It's a calming, mini-
retreat within the larger
day care center.
Just one of the many
services of the Council on
Aging, Adult Day Care
offers a peace of mind for
families and caregivers
that is priceless. Licensed
by the State Agency for
Health Care Administra-
tion, the staff includes reg-
istered and practical nurs-


es, a physical therapist,
registered dietician, certi-
fied nursing assistants, an
activities director and a
host of recreational aides.
Yet, the Gene C. Rifkin
Adult Day Care Center has
a country club atmos-
phere with a French coun-
try d6cor, planned activi-
ties and a chance to gather
with friends. Every day is
different, with a variety of
changing activities from
pet therapy, to visits from
local entertainers, stu-
dents and dignitaries, plus
occasional field trips.
While many facilities are
proud of their six-to-one
client/staff ratio, the
Council on Aging believes
in, a ratio of no more than
four seniors for every staff
member. This extra
staffing allows for one-on-
one care and supervision
often necessary for those
with dementia.
In addition, the Council
on Aging is the only adult
day care center in the
county with a wander-
guard alarm system to
safeguard seniors with
dementia.
Mrs. Norris says it is
often difficult for families
to accept when a loved one
needs adult day care.
"We're talking about
brilliant engineers, talent-
ed doctors and patriotic
veterans real heroes who
put their lives on the line
for our country," Mrs. Nor-
ris said. "But now, it's sim-
ply our turn to serve'
them."
One talented doctor
came to Adult Day Care in
2000 with a diagnosis of


Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Nurse Carolyn Hanna checks the blood pressure of June Hardy, of JensenBeach, at the
Council on Aging in Stuart. The adult day care program plays an important role to the
senior citizens in the community.


terminal cancer. The doc-
tor needed skilled nursing
care in addition to super-
vision for mild dementia.
The only way the caregiver
daughter could continue
working and keep her par-
ent at home was through
daytime care at the Coun-
cil on Aging. Seven years
later, the doctor has great-
ly outlived the original
prognosis and joyfully par-
ticipates in all day care
activities.
"Adult day care becomes
their community,"
explains Mrs. Norris. "If
we don't engage ill, frail
and/or memory impaired
seniors to remain part of
the community in some
way, these seniors become
isolated and depressed."
"We've all heard it takes
a village to raise a child,"
continues Mrs. Norris.
"Here at the Council on


Aging, we know it takes a
village to care for our eld-
ers as well. That's exactly
what we do here. And, the
love and acceptance sen-
iors give is just miracu-
lous. The staff and I are
inspired every day by each
senior's ability to remain
fully engaged in life."
Mrs. Norris is also
inspiring. She has just
achieved certification as a
surveyor for the
Alzheimer's Foundation of
America. She can now
evaluate adult day care
centers, assisted living
facilities and skilled nurs-
ing facilities throughout
the state for an award of
Excellence in Care through
the Dementia Care Pro-
gram of Distinction.
Mrs. Norris admits,
"Ensuring excellent senior
care is a passion with me."


In addition to the Gene C.
Rifkin Adult Day Care Cen-
ter in Stuart, the Council on
Aging of Martin County has
recently opened a second
Adult Day Care Center in
Indiantown. Daily health-
care, medication manage-
ment and medical monitor-
ing have never been
available in the economi-
cally depressed area before.
Because it is located in a
very low-income area, this
center will also serve free,
noontime meals to any
Indiantown senior who
needs assistance in getting
enough to eat.
Founded in 1974, the
Council on Aging is a 501 (c)
(3) organization located at.
1071 S.E. 10th St. in Stuart.

Adult Day Care, call the

County at (772) 223-7800

Golden Bear gives Santa Lucia a facelift


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
PORT ST. LUCIE when Jack Nick-
laus was a player, he couldn't under-
stand why designers would go back
and change golf courses years after
they created them.
Now, two years after he retired from
golf, he finds himself doing just that.
The 18-time major champion was
on hand March 23, to officially reopen
the course at Santa Lucia River Club
at Ballantrae, and share his thoughts
about the game he has played since
he was a 10-year-old.
Nicklaus designed the original golf
course that opened in 1993 at Bal-
lantrae, but after 13 years, it was time
to upgrade the 72-par, 18-hole cham-
pionship course. The course facelift
cost the club $3 million dollars and is
part of a $90 million dollar plan to
upgrade and expand the Santa Lucia
Club.


"They spent the money to get it
done and I think that's very much to
their credit," said Nicklaus. "My hope
is that what we've done on the golf
course accounts for that spending
and they will be rewarded for that.
That's my job."
While some holes needed more
work than others, Nicklaus said that
all the greens have been modified and
the course is not more challenging,
but more is interesting.
Among the changes to the course
was the removal of a waste bunker on
No. 13,. and a bunker off the green on
No. 3 three. Nicklaus also said that he
never liked what he did on No. 4 so he
was glad to be able fix his mistakes.
"All of a sudden I've taken what I did
almost 20 years ago, and adding what
I know today," Nicklaus said. "We're
not reinventing the wheel here. We're
trying to take the golf course, use
most of the old golf course, and mod-
ernize it to some degree."


The final product for the multi-mil-
lion dollar Santa Lucia project will
have 145 new condominiums, golf
villas and residences, some selling for
six figures. The hope of Santa Lucia
River Club at Ballantrae COO Jim
Applegate is the new luxury homes to
attract people form outside the area
to Port St. Lucie, and add to the local
economy.
"Everything we've done here at
Santa Lucia and Ballantrae is to
upgrade everything to be compatible
with our community," said Applegate.
Nicklaus added he hopes the
changes meet the expectations of
Applegate and the Ballantrae com-
munity, but this was hardly the first
time the Golden Bear has been down
this road. Nicklaus has had his hand
on the design of over 250 golf courses
around the world. In 1993 he was
named GolfWorld Architect of the

Fort Pierce set for playoffs


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
The Fort Pierce Fire may
have had a successful reg-
ular season, but from the
way it ended, the team will
have to re group if it plans
on contending for a con-
ference title.
Fort Pierce's 35-0 loss to
the Miami Magic City
Bulls on March 24, left a
sour taste in the mouths of
players and coaches, but
now they the must rinse
themselves clean of the
regular season, and pre-
pare for the first round of
the playoffs on April 7.
The Fire welcome back
the East Coast Reapers out
of Lake Worth Friday night
at Lawnwood Stadium at 7
P.M. It will be the third
time the two teams have
met this season Fort
Pierce won both games,
41-29 on Feb. 29 and 26-15
on March 17.
But beating a team three
times in a row is a chal-
lenge in itself, and just
because the Fire have had
success against he
Reapers before, doesn't
mean they will take them
lightly this time around.
"We're getting back on
track. It's playoffs now, so
if you lose, you go home.


We got to get the kinks
out," said defensive cap-
tain Willie Boston. "We
missed a lot of tackles
against Miami so we got to
fix that. It's a whole new
game now."
In the team's first meet-
ing, Fort Pierce watched
its offense come alive. Well
known for their defensive
prowess, The Fire's 41-
point explosion in Week
Three set a new tone for
the season, and showed
the league that they could
score points just as well as
they could defend against
them.
But after a game in
which neither side pro-
duced anything, the Fire
must go back and find its
rhythm. Fort Pierce aver-
aged 32.8 points in its five
victories this season, and,
before the uncharacteris-
tic thumping by the Bulls,
the team had only lost by
seven points or less.
One of the major prob-
lems defensive coordina-
tor Kenny Holmes needs
to fix before the playoffs
are turnovers. The Fire
gave up the ball seven
times against Magic City
on. March 24, and only
came away with one
turnover. Before the end of
the first half, the Bulls had


turned three of those
turnovers into 21 points.
"We're getting back to
the basics like tackling and
technique," said Holmes.
"We had seven turnovers
in that game and to have
seven turnovers, and we
only got one ourselves,
that just doesn't match up.
No team puts itself in a sit-
uation to win when it does
that to itself."
Quarterback Tommy
Share is also looking to get
his offense rolling again.
The first step will be mix-
ing up the play-calling to
prevent becoming so pre-
dictable. After the team
rushed for a combined 22
yards in March 24, he is
hoping to put the ball in
air some more against the
Reapers.
In the Southern States
Football League, every
team gets a bye before
playoffs start, and for Fort
Pierce, a week off couldn't
have come at a better
time.
A number of key players
have been injured or hurt
the last month, and the
season's wear and tear has
become more evident
than ever. Boston sat out

bringing golf around the
world, and particularly in
Eastern Europe.
Countries like Greece,
Bulgaria, and the Ukraine
are some of the places he
has helped introduce the
game of golf by building
courses when, in some
cases, none existed in the
country.
"You talk about blank
slates, now those are blank
slates," said Nicklaus. "I feel
like the luckiest guy in the
world to be able to stay in a
game that I love and get
into a profession beyond
my golf game. And now
that I've totally quit play-
ing, to expand it around the
world, it's a totally new life
for me."
Port St. Lucie Vice Mayor
Jack Kelly was on hand for
the ribbon cutting ceremo-
ny on the tee box of the first
hole.
Nicklaus then teed up
and smacked a drive down
the middle of the fairway.

be alright," said Holmes.
"These two weeks are defi-

ne great thing
about the annual
PGA Merchandise
Show is spending time
with fellow golf media and
friends.
We usually end our long,
tiring week with a great
dinner on the last night
and a round of golf the
next morning before'
heading home.
Having dinner together
gives us one last chance to
relax and share our stories
from the week.
The golf allows us to test
out a few of the new
products before returning
home.
For some of us, it may be
the last round of golf until
the snow thaws in the
spring.
Fortunately, I do not fall
into that category.
This year's dinner was at
the Capital Grille
(www.thecapitalgrille.com
or (407) 370-4392) at the
new and improved Pointe
Orlando, across from the
convention center on
International Drive.
Dining there is quite an
experience for all of the
senses. There, is lots of
mahogany, plush leather, .
dark colors and distinctive
artwork to sooth your
mood and relax you for a
couple hours of dining
and conversation.
We started off with the
restaurant's signature
drink, a pineapple martini.
My martini was shaken,
not stirred. We toasted the
week that had been and
welcomed the first
moment in nearly a week
to get off our feet and
forget about work.
From there our host
brought us a variety of
appetizers, which includ-
ed crab cakes, shrimp,
oysters .and cheeses. The
lobster bisque soup is the
best to have ever passed
mylips.
The main course con-
sisted of perfectly grilled,
dry-aged steaks and
succulent seafood. I had a
savory 24-ounce porter-
house steak that was
beyond delicious. This cut
was so tender and tasty. I
believe that I would have
had to hurt anyone who
got near it with anything
other than a sprinkle of
salt and pepper.
Choosing the perfect
wine from a list of more
than 400 is not an easy


southern pines and pair of
shimmering 500-acre
natural lakes for homes,
recreation and preserve
areas.
The course features a
beautiful new 18,000-
square-foot clubhouse,
,complete with men's and
ladies' locker rooms, and a
complete practice facility.
With five sets of tees,
measuring from 5,410
yards to as much as 7,428
yards, everyone can find a
set that allows them to
both challenge and enjoy
their game.
I last played the course
when it had its grand
opening about five years
ago.
I had the pleasure of
playing a couple of holes
with Mr. Miller, including
my favorite, the par-5
16th. I had hit a good drive
and was planning on
laying up to avoid the
water when Mr. Miller
arrived.
As I tried to sneak my 7-
iron back into my bag and
retrieve my3-wood, he
asked who had hit such a
good drive. He then asked
me, "You didn't drive the
ball all the way down here
just to lay up did you?"
He had caught me.
I decided against it and
hit the best 3-wood of my
life, landing the ball some
235 yards away just onto
the right side of the green.
The high-five Johnny
gave me will always be one
of the highlights of my golf
career.
In the five years since
opening, Harmony has
grown in quite nicely. The
tress have spouted up
and filled out, the grasses
have become more lush
and the greens, even
better.
Golf at Harmony is as I
like it best. There are a
variety of holes, no homes
on the course and plenty
of nature to make you
forget about anything
other than your golf and
the friends that are with
you.

task. Fortunately, our host
knew exactly what was
required to bring out the '
flavor and add to the
enjoyment of the food we
had chosen.
Every course was
perfectly timed to arrive at
the right moment. We had
just enough time between
courses to discuss our day
and compare the delica-
cies that were delighting
our taste buds.
The dessert menu is a
book in itself. Our server
brought us nearly every-
thing. The flourless
chocolate espresso cake
was well liked, as was my
favorite, the coconut
cream pie.
Our dining experience
was the perfect end to a
tough week of work. We
vowed to make dinner at
the Capital Grille a new
tradition.
The following morning it
was time to pack up, check
out and enjoy one final
round of golf.

Miller's design wraps the
course around existing

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS
Anne Radday, the
daughter of Gil and
Nancy Radday of Stuart,
was awarded an Interna-
tional World Peace Fel-
lowship last month from
the Stuart Sunrise Rotary
Club.
Ms. Radday will receive
a two-year $60,000 award
toward her tuition, trans-
portation, and room and
board to earn her mas-
ter's degree from Interna-
tional Christian Universi-
ty in Tokyo, Japan.
As a Rotary World Peace
Fellow, Ms. Radday's edu-
cation will focus on
mediation, conflict reso-
lution, peace where there
is war, understanding
where there is disharmo-
ny, food security where
there is hunger, health
care where, there is dis-
ease, education where
there is illiteracy, conser-


vation where there is
environmental degrada-
tion, and sustainable
economic development
where there is poverty.
Ms. Radday has worked
as a linguist for the U.S.
Army Reserves, for the
United Nations in New
York, and as a volunteer
in the Peace Corps in
Niger, Africa.
While in Niger, Ms. Rad-
day assisted 70 Nigerian
village women form the
Western Bazazaga
Women's Cooperative
Garden, which taught
local women how to grow
vegetables to feed them-
selves and their malnour-
ished children. The Gar-
den also allowed the
women to earn money.
"Two years later, the
garden turned out to be
successful beyond my
wildest dreams," Ms.
Radday said in a press
release.
