STUART -. Citing excel-
lent health as a deciding
factor, Martin County
Sheriff Robert Crowder has
announced his intention to
run for re-election in 2008.
Although the formal
paperwork for his bid won't
be filed until July, Sheriff
Crowder said the decision
to run has been under con-
sideration for some time.
"Back in 1999 1 had heart


surgery, 1 .8
and we've
b e e n |
been
watching
that. Every
year I go in
for a battery
of tests and
this past
fall, the Sheriff
results were Crowder
better than Crowder
they have ever been, so
there was no reason for me
not to run," said Sheriff
Crowder.


Crediting his wife, Deb-
bie, for motivating him to
take up hiking, Sheriff
Crowder said two years ago
the couple hiked Mount
Katahdin in Maine, a 5.2-
mile trail with a climb of
more than 5,000 feet.
"We've climbed all the
major mountains in the
eastern U.S.," he said.
Sheriff Crowder said his
health is only one reason
behind his decision to run
again.
"There are still chal-

lenges I would like to be
part of," he said. "There is
the tax situation, and the
need to get more done
with less money. I think it's
coming to a crunch. I also
want to be part of the
move into our new build-
ing."


Sheriff Crowder also
credits his office's staff
with giving him one last
incentive to continue his
work as sheriff.
"We have such a good
team that I want to contin-
ue the privilege of working
with them," lie said.

JENSEN BEACH As
the owner of the Art, War
and Peace Museum in
Jensen Beach, Huong, has
spent her life promoting
peace.
It is ironic, therefore,
that on the same day she
unveiled her latest work of
art, a mural entitled "The
Flag at War," she is fielding
angry phone calls and e-
mails calling her, among
other things, a commu-
nist.
The vitriol directed at
her is due to earlier media
reports, quoting Huong
(pronounced "hung") say-
ing she cut an American
flag into a hundred pieces


to create her latest work of
art. Indeed, her own invi-
tation last month to a sec-
ond studio she owns in
Miami stated Huong cut a
flag into many square
canvases 30-by-30 inches
to create her work.
The words "cut the flag,"
according to Huong, were
misinterpreted due to a
language barrier.
Huong, who came to the
United States in 1975, did
cut 700 blank canvases
into 30-by-30 inch sec-
tions. However, she then
individually painted these
canvases in red, white,
blue and gold hues and
pieced together the sec-
tions to create her mural.
She added white doves
and drops of red to repre-


sent blood onto those
squares using acrylics,
and' used them as a back-
drop for poetry and
reprinted letters from U.S.
soldiers serving in Iraq.
The result is a 20,000-
square-foot thought-pro-
voking piece. The 700
separate canvas paintings
were combined to create a
mural so large that half of
it is displayed in her
gallery in Miami and the
other half in the Jensen
. Beach gallery.
Huong interprets the
piece as the American flag
weeping "for a century of
war," and she is not alone
in its creation.
Sandi Wicina, a retired
family therapist, created
the poetry that is part of


tlhe piece.
Mrs. Wicina's son, who
became a quadraplegic
several years ago after a
football injury and later
died, said she met many
veterans with war injuries
when she accompanied
her son to intensive thera-
py sessions.
"Suddenly, I felt like I
was in a war zone," said
Mrs. Wicina.
Huong knows about liv-
ing in a war zone. Her
father was imprisoned in
a Communist POW camp
for nine years. Her brother
was killed in 1975.
When Huong was 25,
she fled her native coun-
try. Originally a journalist,

Martin Memorial Health

claims, based on a statisti-

Lawnwood is proposing
a June 12 referendum to

and approved, county res-

That means residents with

pose with a variety of puppies available for adoption.
National Volunteer Week is April 15-21, and the Humane
Society will honor all their volunteers with a garden party
on April 15.


Many of Martin County's
organizations are well
underway with plans to
honor the individuals
whose time and talents
they utilize throughout the
year.
National Volunteer Week
began in 1974 after Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon
signed an executive order
declaring an annual cele-
bration to honor volun-
teers. Every president
since has signed a procla-
mation to continue the
tradition, and this year
National Volunteer Week is
set for the week of April
15-21, under the theme
"Inspire By Example."


Listed below is a small
sampling of Martin Coun-
ty events:
Humane Society of
the Treasure Coast
Located in Palm City, the
Humane Society is kicking
off National Volunteer
Week with a "Volunteer
Appreciation Celebration"
on April 15 at 4 p.m.
"It's a party for our vol-
unteers," said Amy Chris-
tensen, community out-
reach director. "We put up
a tent in our memorial gar-
den, and this year's theme
is 'Hats Off to Volunteers.'
We expect about 200 peo-
ple," she said.
Ms. Christensen said the
Humane Society has


almost 300 people who
volunteer throughout the
year, with a total contribu-
tion of 18,000 hours of
work in the months
between October and
March, their fiscal year.
"We could not operate
without our volunteers,"
said Ms. Christensen.
The Humane Society is
encouraging those who
attend the party to wear an
original hat created by
them with animals as the
theme. A prize will be.
awarded for the most cre-
ative hat.
Volunteers do not just
work at the Humane Soci-
ety shelter. They also come

INDIANTOWN The
United Way of Martin
County is giving a grant of
$11,000 to Indiantown
Non-Profit Housing, which
will help up to 15 families
move out of FEMA trailers.
FEMA has issued an
April 24 deadline for these
families to move, who were
victims of Hurricane
Wilma.
Indiantown Non-Profit


Housing, a United Way
affiliated agency, has been
handling the families' case
management thanks to a
grant from the Volunteer
Florida Foundation, but
the agency needs separate
funding for relocation
assistance.
The United Way funds
will be used to pay for first,
last, security and related
moving expenses to help
families moving out of
FEMA temporary housing.


In regard to its ongoing
support of partner agen-
cies, United Way of Martin
County has extended its
annual campaign another
month in an attempt to
raise the final $100,000.
needed to reach its $2.2
million goal for 2006-2007.

"All proceeds from the

"It operates six days a

Habitat for Humanity
"Building Homeowner-

for Humanity's three-year
plan to build 58 homes in
Indiantown, in an effort to
revitalize the Booker Park
section of the town.
The agency also hopes to
acquire additional lots in
economically challenged
parts of Martin County for
the same purpose.
None of this would be
possible without the vol-
unteers who help build the
homes. With that in mind,
Habitat for Humanity will
host a National Volunteer
Week ceremony on'Mon-
day, April 16 at the Trea-

Mayes Center for Hope,
from 9-11 a.m.
"We hope that National

time and talent to help
build homes in our com-
munity," said Michele Reil-
ly, executive director of


Habitat for Humanity of
Martin County in a state-
ment.

United Way of
Martin County

Martin Volunteers, a pro-
gram of United Way of
Martin County, exists to
encourage volunteer serv-
ice that benefits both the
volunteers and the com-
munity. One of their proj-
ects is the Retired and
Senior Volunteer Program
for volunteers 55 and
older. That one program
alone counts as its mem-
bers almost 1,000 volun-
teers who gave a total of
72,300 hours of service in
2006.
"The value of their serv-
ice is estimated at more
than a million dollars,"
said Carol Hodnett, direc-
tor of Martin Volunteers.
"That's a tremendous
impact on the people and
agencies of Martin Coun-
ty," she said.
To honor RSVP mem-
bers, and all those who
volunteer for United Way
of Martin County, the Mar-
tin Volunteers are organiz-
ing "Signs Across Martin,"
a program to encourage
businesses with marquees
to post messages thanking
volunteers for their serv-
ice.

South Florida Water
Management District
officials asked their gov-
erning board April 12 to
consider a moderate
water shortage declara-
tion for. the Upper East
Coast Service area, which
comprises residential
areas of Martin and St.
Lucie counties.
The board's decision
came too late to make
this publication, but its
members were expected
to vote in favor of the pro-
posed order, which would
make the restrictions
effective today, April 13.
Under the restrictions,
residents are required to
observe a three-day-per-
week irrigation schedule,
while permitted water
users, such as golf cours-
es and large commercial
users, are required to
achieve a 15 percent
reduction in their overall
water consumption.
"The new cutbacks are
more restrictive than any-
thing our agency has ever
proposed, but our water
resources are at risk," said
Carol Ann Wehle, execu-
tive director of the dis-
trict. "We urge all resi-
dents to voluntarily
observe the stricter
guidelines immediately
in an effort to stretch our
water supply. We have
entered what may be the
worst drought in record-
able South Florida histo-
ry, and all water needs to
be conserved no matter
the source."

Water managers are
predicting that unless sig-
nificant rain events
return to South Florida,
drought conditions are
likely to intensify quickly,
especially in areas sur-
rounding Lake Okee-
chobee and Palm Beach,
Broward, Miami-Dade
and Monroe counties.
"The water shortage sit-
uation has grown consid-
erably more grave," said
Ms. Wehle.
The drought and subse-
quent water shortage are
the result of persistent
low rainfall dating back to
2006, which ranked as the
sixth-driest year on
record in terms of dis-
trict-wide rainfall. The
trend has continued
through the first three
months of 2007. Only 2.61
inches of rain fell in the
three-month period end-
ing March 30. This is 37
percent of the historical
average for that period.
During the month of
March, only .60 inch of
rain fell district-wide; this
is 21 percent of the his-
torical average for the
month.
With the low rainfall
totals, the water level in
Lake Okeechobee, a bell-
wether measurement of
the district's water supply,
has dropped four feet
below its historical aver-
age for this time of
year. The district will not

million campaign, raised $14,000 at a recent golf tourna-
ment.
The tournament, held March 17 at the Hammock

The $25 million campaign will fund all construction
costs and future endowments for the Heart Center. To
date, the Martin Memorial Associates have contributed
more than $500,000 towards the $16 million already col-
lected for the campaign.

Panhandler charged with attacking
McDonald's patron
A 57-year-old homeless man who was once the state
attorney's primary witnesses in the Salerno Strangler
trial has been charged with battery and burglary of an
occupied structure.
Thomas Todd Field, a friend of one of the victims of
Eugene Wayne McWatters, Jr., also known as the Salerno
Strangler, testified for the prosecution at Mr. McWatters'
trial on charges of raping and murdering three women
in 2004.
On April 4, Mr. Field was in the parking lot of McDon-
ald's in Stuart panhandling for money. When patron
David Keebler and his mother, Nancy refused to give him
money, told Mr. Fields that panhandling was illegal, and
got into their car, Mr. Fields allegedly swore at them and
reached through the car window and grabbed at Mr. Kee-
bler's face. Mr. Keebler then stepped out of the car and
was reportedly punched in the fact by Mr. Fields, who
then fled.
Mr. Fields was apprehended and held in the Martin
County jail. Bond was set at $20,500.

Third hospital, yea or nay

The controversy about a third hospital in the western
part of the county has demonstrated poor planning on
the part of county administrators, and how an oppor-
tunistic organization hopes to cash in.
In keeping with the journalistic trend of prefacing Mar-
tin Memorial as a "not-for- profit hospital," I would like
to clarify that statement.
Hospital Corporation of America owns Lawnwood
Regional Medical Center and St. Lucie Medical Center
and Heart Institute. They were, for the longest time, con-
sidered a "for- profit" hospital chain.
The main reason for the designation was that there
were stockholders in the corporation that bought shares
expecting to see their investment grow.
Martin Memorial, on the other hand, has no stockhold-
ers and, therefore, the erroneous assumption is that
there is no pressure to make a profit and if a profit is
made it is distributed back to employees or the commu-
nity in which it serves.
During my working career, I'have worked for CVS,
Goodyear Tire and Rubber, Mobil Oil, Tenet Healthcare
System, Baptist Healthcare Systems of South Florida,
and Martin Memorial.
I have no ax to grind with any of my previous employ-
ers, but there is one thing in common to every one of
them. When budget time came around every year, these
meetings were very intense and demanding.
Martin Memorial was no exception. Budget meetings
always came down to how to save money and increase
productivity.
Managers were expected to meet budgets in the
upcoming year, or face the consequences.
Just in passing, Hospital Corporation of America, as of
mid-November, no longer has stockholders to answer to.
Now let's look at the hospital issue in Tradition.
Martin Memorial and Tradition want it built. HCA and
the State of Florida are against it.
Martin Memorial has used various arguments for it.
Let's examine the more popular ones:
*Increase the job market by 400 positions
*A testing resource for Torrey Pines
*Lack of accessibility to existing hospitals from the
western part of the county.
Yes, an 80-bed hospital would create approximately
400 new jobs. However, with the shortage of healthcare
workers nationwide, how are these positions going to be
filled?
Recent browsing of Martin Memorial's web site had
nearly 100 openings for nursing positions at their cur-
rent two hospitals, and nearly 40 openings in critical
allied health position, i.e., pharmacy, laboratory, radio-
logical, and services.
Lawnwood had nearly 40 nursing and 20 allied health
positions open.
I didn't explore the food service, housekeeping jobs,
but I would assume there are openings there also.
How much biomedical testing is really going to be done
at this new hospital? With a patient census probably in
the 40 to 50 range, how many of those patients are going
to be candidates for these tests?
More than likely, if Martin Memorial teams up with Tor-
rey Pines, all testing will be done on the main campus in
Stuart, whether they have a hospital next door or not.
Staffing during these experiments is just as critical as
the patients undergoing these tests.
I agree, traffic can be a hassle on the current east-west
corridors in Saint Lucie County. Complicating matters is
the river, which won't disappear. This is where previous
administrations failed the county miserably.
That being said, let's really examine the accessibility
issue. If Martin Memorial were to build a hospital in Tra-
dition, where would the really seriously ill patients end
up? in Stuart at the North Campus. God forbid that a
cardiac patient needs to be transported to Martin for an
open-heart procedure and a slow moving freight train is
passing through Stuart.
As a former resident of Broward County, I saw this same
problem develop and resolved years ago.
I am not against a third hospital in the western part of
the county. In fact in light of the history of county
administration's lack of vision, I would encourage a third
hospital be built.


If HCA would follow the model that Tenet used in
Broward County, the facility would be built with the State
of Florida's blessing.
Currently the state issues a Certificate of Need to build
hospitals. Since St. Lucie County only fills 60 percent of
the licensed beds, the state feels there is adequate space
available for the current and foreseeable increases in the
population.
Tenet handled this same argument by relinquishing
beds at their hospitals on the eastern side of the county,
and the state allowed a hospital to be built inWeston.
IF HCA would relinquish some beds from Lawnwood
and St. Lucie Medical Center, the 60 percent census
would increase because of the lower number of available
beds, and therefore, the certificate of need would be jus-
tified.
HCA would then be in a better position to build and staff
a facility in the western part of the county.
Some of the staffing would be transfers from the two
current hospitals, since staffing could be reduced with
smaller hospitals.
In reality, the hospital in Tradition has nothing to do
with these arguments.
It is all about the money. Martin Memorial is looking
for a huge payday. Wealthy, well-insured clients are
desired, and Tradition is the target.
If Martin Memorial was truly concerned about provid-
ing health care to the Treasure Coast, why did they close
the out-patient facility in Indiantown, and why haven't
they opened a facility to the north of Orange Ave.,
between 251 Avenue and U.S 1.
Martin has a facility across the street from St. Lucie
Medical Center, so a facility in Fort Pierce near Lawn-
wood, would seem like a natural.
Martin Memorial felt an open-heart program was nec-
essary, not because the services weren't available, but
because open-heart is a lucrative segment in healthcare.
Open-heart procedures are still reimbursed at high lev-
els.
Trauma, on the other hand, is very costly and is a
resource draining service.
Add to that the fact that wealthy patrons will donate,
huge sums for the privilege of having their names
attached to a wing or equipment for a chic service, it is
no wonder that Martin Memorial pushed for this service.
They manipulated the system by sending cardiac
patients to Palm Beach County, because of the bitterness
towards Lawnwood.
As luck would have it, State Rep. Gayle Harrell's husband
needed cardiac surgery and Martin shipped him to Palm
Beach County. She then pursued a personal agenda to
get Martin the open-heart program.
If Dr. Harrell had not had the cardiac problem, or had
been sent to Lawnwood, Martin would still be consumed
with the effort to gain an open-heart program.

Response from Martin Memorial

Martin Memorial was created in 1939, by dedicated
-community members who saw a need for healthcare
services.
That partnership with the community exists today, as
Martin Memorial works with local citizens to provide


access to the very best health care possible.
As a mission-driven organization, it is constantly
searching for new ways to provide care for the communi-
ty.
It has served residents of Port St. Lucie since the 1980s,
when it opened sites there that now include physician
offices, radiation-oncology services, rehabilitation.care,
laboratory facilities and diagnostic imaging.
But, the growth in the area, particularly western Port St.
Lucie has been overwhelming, and the need for a new
hospital is evident.
Access to emergency services is particularly vital in the
area, as emergency departments continue to be over-
crowded.
Many of the patients who visit Martin Memorial emer-
gency departments are from Port St. Lucie, choosing to
go there in part because of extensive waits in other local
hospitals.
There is also a significant need for obstetrical services
in western Port St. Lucie. Last year a record 2,209 babies
were born at Martin Memorial, the third year in a row the
hospital set a new record for births.
The Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Okeechobee County
region accounted for 97 percent of the new growth in
services last year.
That's why more than 10,000 local residents signed
petitions of support last fall for a hospital in the Tradition
development, one of the fastest-growing areas in the
region.
That is why Martin Memorial continues its efforts to
build a hospital there, to serve residents whose health-
care needs are not being met.
Martin Memorial is a not-for-profit hospital, which
means the money it does make is put back into capital
expenditures such as new equipment, facility expansion,
and salaries and benefits for its associates.
As a not-for-profit hospital governed by local residents,
it is in essence, owned by the community.
That differs sharply from for-profit hospitals, owned by
private investors.
Should Martin Memorial be granted the right to open a
hospital in west Port St. Lucie, some have questioned our
ability to staff it.
While it is true that finding healthcare workers, includ-
ing physicians, nurses, and clinical staff, has been a chal-
lenge for hospitals across the country, Martin Memorial
has a strong track record of recruiting and retaining out-
standing associates.
The nurse vacancy rate is approximately 7 percent, well
below the state average of 18 percent. The hospital has
developed strategies to recruit nurses
and clinical personnel, and has been able to provide
patients access to an array of physicians that cover the
spectrum from general practitioners to specialists.
That includes cardiologists and heart surgeons at the
new Frances Langford Heart Center, which opened in
August 2006.
The heart center has saved lives from the day it opened
its doors, and the need for this vital service is evident
from the number of people who have been provided care
there.

Rants
From page A6
By late March 2007, 169 open-heart surgeries, and
almost 500 interventional procedures had been per-
formed at the heart center.
Prior to that, patients suffering from heart attacks, or
other severe cardiovascular conditions, had to be sent to
hospitals far from home.
Those patients were referred to other heart centers, not
by Martin Memorial, but by cardiologists who deter-
mined where patients would go based on their relation-
ships with other physicians, and their confidence in the
quality of care at those facilities.
It is important to note that Martin Memorial has been
serving Port St. Lucie for two decades. Well before the
population boom appeared, it saw a need for health care
in the area and has worked diligently to fill that need.
That has been the mission since the doors were opened
68 years ago. It is the mission today, and it will be the mis-
sion in the future.

Stop dirtying the canals

This is directed at the people who throw trash in the
canals.
By throwing your trash, you foul the canals, and by dis-
carding your garbage, you invite the rats, the bugs, and
other animals.
They will not stay by the canals exclusively. They will
visit your homes.
Good luck.

Good Samaritan

This rave is in response to the recent news story of a
homeless man who rescued two passengers from their
plane after it crashed in a Delray Beach field.
Perhaps he might be blessed to receive a place to live
for being a Good Samaritan? Wouldn't that be sweet?
The Bible says, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for
by doing so, some people have entertained angels with-
out knowing it" (Hebrews 11:2).
Thank you.

I need help, too

This is in response to the in the lady who wrote in about
her grandson needing medical attention about his Atten-
tion Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and how they are
Americans.
Well so am I, and I also need help. I am 51, and married.
My husband works, but has no medical coverage at work,
and I am pre-existing with my medical problems.
My medical problem is why I no longer work. I worked
13 years in one place, trying to live the American Dream.
I cannot afford my medication, for it is over $1,000 a
month. So I do with out it.
I also am an American. I get no from my own people. I
was told that I can't get help paying for my medicine
because I do have Medicare.


Go figure that out, because I can't.
I am on Social Security disability, and cannot get help
for my medicine but I am still trying.
Great, huh?

Review of animal control needed

Recent scandals regarding animal control officers, and
their staff and supervisors, indicate that a complete
review of this agency is needed right away.
The appointment of a qualified administrative type vet-
erinarian would be a start.
Rewrite the regulations, and update the qualifications
of the animal control officers to a national norm.
The director should have the authority to replace or
reassign staff as needed.
Let's do it now.

Tired of complainers

This rant has been building up for some time.
I'm getting a little tired of the folks who want to com-
plain about everything. Specifically those of every
nationality and religious beliefs who want to change the
lives of others and their beliefs.
These comments are not aimed at any one particular
group of people, but if the shoe fits, wear it.
American people are the most tolerant people in the
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 how you live. We welcome you
and the things- that you bring to our wonderful country.
But there are groups who want to rewrite the rules and
push some of their misguided beliefs on us.
I have visited and lived for extended periods of time in
many different countries around the world and never
once tried to impose my beliefs on the people of the
country where I was a guest.
We choose to live in harmony with our guests and
future citizens. Please be tolerant of your host country as
well.

Sunnis vs. the Shiites?

The people who seem to think that it's the Sunnis fight-
ing the Shiites in Iraq are absolutely putting their heads
in the sand.
In my opinion, it's the terrorists who are instigating the
Sunnis against the Shiites and they are coming from Iran
and Syria who are doing all of the instigating.
The leaders of Iran and Syria want Iraq for themselves.
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.


Service should match postage increase

Yes, fellow readers, the postage stamp will be increased
again.
Too bad they don't increase their service. There are
times I get (mail) for people who live more than a few
blocks away.
I thought the sorters were to make sure the right person
gets the right mail. After all, that's what they get paid for.
I think it's time the right thing is done when it comes to
our mail.
Speak up people. For if we don't, nothing will change.

Road rules seem to vary

I am fed up with hearing about the bad habits of Florid-
ians on the road.
No matter where you are from you probably think the
only correct way to drive is the way they do it back home.
Consider there are 49 other states and (who) knows
how many other countries that have drivers on the roads
of Florida, each absolutely sure that the only way to drive
is their way.
Is it any wonder that you see so many stupid things on
the roads?


Stop whining, embrace airport security

I have a rant, a huge rant, in response to "Treatment at
airports unfair."
I am a flight attendant with seven years under my
wings, and I think that rant was the most asinine I have
ever read.
A few key points:
In the Orlando airport, there are numerous signs
leading up to the security checkpoint stating that lighters
are not allowed on the airplane or through security (In
case you don't know, "prohibited" means "not allowed").
If your daughter's lighter had so much sentimental
value she should have paid attention to the instructions
provided and removed her lighter from her carry-on bag.
Losing it was the price she had to pay for not doing as
instructed.
+Your bag was dumped out and searched by strangers.
So what?
That is called security. Would you rather no one's bags
are searched, or are you special?
If it bothers you that your change was in the bottom of
your purse, then get a coin purse and use it.
Your friends from other areas won't visit you here in
Florida because they don't want to be searched at air-
ports?
Why are they afraid to be searched?
They refuse to be treated that way as U.S. citizens, you
say.
Well, the reason U.S. citizens have to be treated that
way is because people want to hurt us. They have tried
and succeeded in the past and will probably try again.

Changes in the pension


law can pay off foryou


It's not always easy to
save enough money for
retirement. But some
recently enacted legislation
might just help.
As its name implies, the
Pension Protection Act of
2006 was designed to
strengthen the private
pension system, which
currently covers more than
44 million workers and
retirees.
Under the new laws,
those companies that
maintain traditional
"defined benefit" plans
(which pay retirees a
specific amount of money
based on salary history and
years of service) will face
tighter plan-funding rules.
But even if you don't
participate in a defined
benefit plan, you may well
benefit from other parts of
the Pension Protection Act.
Here are a few to consider:
No reduction in
retirement plan contribu-
tion limits Over the past
few years, the contribution
limits have increased for
IRAs and for 401(k), 403(b)
and 457 plans, and are
scheduled to be rolled back
after 2010. However, due to
the Pension Protection Act,
the increases are now
permanent. (The tradition-
al and Roth IRA contribu-
tion limit for 2006 and 2007
is $4,000. If you are age 50
or older, you can also make
a "catch-up" contribution
of up to $1,000. The salary
deferral contribution limit
to a 401(k), 403(b) and 457
plan for 2006 is $15,000. If
you are 50 or older, you can


JAMIE CHAPOGAS
Financial columnist

make a "catch-up" contri-
bution of up to $5,000. In
2007 and beyond, contri-
bution limits will be
indexed for inflation.
Traditional and Roth
IRA direct distribution
donations to charities -
Effective in 2006 and 2007,
if you meet certain condi-
tions, you may move up to
$100,000 per year directly
from a traditional or Roth
IRA to qualifying charities
without having the with-
drawal counted as income
for the year.
+ Rollovers by non-
spouse beneficiaries -
starting in 2007, if you have
been named a beneficiary
of a 401(k) or other quali-
fied retirement plan, you
will be able to directly roll
over your distribution into
a new IRA that you've
established (an "inherited"
IRA). Previously, this
option was reserved for
surviving spouses, who
could roll over qualified
plan assets into their own
IRAs. This change could be
a big advantage to you.
Instead of having to cash
out a 401(k) or other
retirement plan and incur a
big tax hit, you can now roll
over the value of the

retirement plan into an IRA
and just take the "required
minimum distribution"
(RMD) every year, based on
your own life expectancy.
(To get the full benefits of
stretching out withdrawals,
see your tax advisor before
taking action.)
Tax refunds to IRAs -
Under the new laws, you
can now have the IRS
deposit your tax refund
directly into an IRA as a
contribution. In fact, you
can split the refunds and
deposit them in as many as
three different accounts.
Permanent tax benefits
for Section 529 plans If
you establish a Section 529
plan to help pay for your
child's or grandchild's
college tuition, with-
drawals from the plan will
be free from federal
income taxes, provided the
money is used for educa-
tion. This tax benefit was
scheduled to expire at the
end of 2010, but it is now
permanent. Please note
that contributions are tax-
deductible in certain states
for residents who partici-
pate in their own state's
plan.
All in all, the Pension
Protection Act of 2006
seems to contain some-
thing for everyone. To see
how you can gain the
maximum benefits from
the new tax laws, consult
with your financial profes-
sional and tax advisor.

IRA's are being accepted by

Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't

Rants
From page A7
security is so stringent.
Your friends sent their
son to Iraq for freedom
and it did no good?
Your friends didn't send
him to Iraq, the military
did. I have the utmost
respect and admiration for
those in the military, espe-
cially those fighting to pro-
tect me.
I feel that I can sleep a lit-
tle more soundly at night
because someone is on
guard, looking out for me
and for you.
Stop being such a cryba-
by and get with the times.
When the world is a per-
fect place full of love and
rainbows we won't need
the military, security, jails,
etc. Until then, let's try to
appreciate those who are
sacrificing to ensure our
safety.

Military is for those
who choose to enlist

Someone with no mili-
tary experience himself
wants more women to take
his place in (Iraq).
Surprise.
That's the nature of bul-
lies and cowards.
Well, (Mr.) "nature of
man to be the protector,"
when you can run a house-
hold, from making break-
fast and getting the kids to
school, to working full
time to pay for the gaso-
line, to washing and clean-
ing every night instead of
watching TV then you
can ponder what protect-
ing really means.
Until then, get your own
rear end down to the
recruiting station.
As a Navy vet myself -
one of the few women
trained for Special Forces -
I demand only one thing:
that our kids have the
right, the freedom, and the
education to choose what
they feel best about doing
Be a warrior or join the
Peace Corps.
Be an engineer or be an
artist.
Build a bridge or build
bridges to the future.
It is their choice, so long
as they are informed of the
rewards and the conse-
quences.
Warmongering cowards
are the one thing this plan-
et does not need and never
has.

Science has limits
when it comes to
faith

I felt a need to respond to
the recent article "Maybe
there is nothing to faith."
I agree with the writer
completely; however I
have a different perspec-
tive on who has more faith.
I agree that it can be sub-
stantiated that. the "Earth
revolves around the sun"


and would not argue
against his fact.
The same scientists and
scholars who can prove
this claim say that the uni-
verse was created by a
series of random- events
that even the most presti-
gious of mathmeticians
would say are so unlikely
to have occurred by
chance that the human
mind can not even fathom
the odds of this occur-
rence.
These same scholars
claim to know how the uni-
verse was created but can-
not find a cure for the
common cold?
They also will convince
you that they understand
life and the universe, but,
as yet, I have not seen
them create one life form
from scratch.
If they know how, then
show us by creating.
Things happen in this
world every day that are
unexplainable.
Look out of your window
and tell me that this is all
random chance, and I will
show you someone with
unsubstantiated "faith."

I have been a patient
there for a year, and from
the beginning, I have
found their facilities to be
not only excellent in clean-
liness and orderliness, but
also that their staff is pro-
fessional, friendly and car-
ing.

Go ahead, tap
my phone

The Democrats are so
naive; they are against the
Patriot Act.
I personally wouldn't
care if the FBI or the CIA
listened in on any of my
phone calls. What are the
Democrats afraid of?
We need to give the FBI
and the CIA any tools they
need to protect us.
Don't the Democrats
have anything to do
besides trying to get rid of
(Attorney General Alberto)


Gonzales for firing the
attorneys who probably
weren't doing their jobs.
My thought is if President
Bush fires him, the Repub-
licans would lose some of
the Hispanic vote.
That's what the Democ-
rats are up to. They want
the Hispanic vote.


Keep up the
Rants & Raves

I just want to say that the
Rants & Raves are probably
the .best feature of the
newspaper. I think it needs
more than two pages.
Maybe four.
It's just amazing to read
some of these letters and I
love it. It's my favorite part
of the paper.
Please keep it up and
maybe expand it.

Senior dating
can be costly

This is a warning to all
senior citizens.
Beware of these so-called
dating services. I speak as a
person (who thought) that
was the best place to meet
a person you may be look-
ing for.
Most do not have that
person, (but) they will tell
you they have a long list of
just the type of person you
are looking for.
It cost me $2,000 to find
that (out).
After you pay your dues,
they may send you a name
and a phone number. the
rest is up to you.
I did not hear (from this
person) for more than five
months.
I had to call just to find
out the person moved and
didn't leave a forwarding
address. So, I had to take
time to find their new loca-
tion.
Save your money. If you
want to meet a person, go
to a (senior) club, or a
dance, or even bingo.
But don't waste your
money.

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

er to help the couple real-
ize her dream.
A group of volunteers,
including family and
friends, are sponsoring a
benefit on May 12 with
music and a silent auction
at Indian RiverSide Park in
Jensen Beach.
Chris and Jamie have
been sweethearts since
they were 15-years-old.
They graduated from Mar-
tin County High School in
1998 and went on to attend
Florida International Uni-
versity.
The couple moved to
Pembroke Pines, and Chris
was hired by Miami-Dade
Rescue. Jamie, who was
diagnosed with cystic
fibrosis at 11 months, was
two credits and a disserta-
tion away from her Mas-
ter's degree in epidemiolo-
gy.
Then their world turned
upside down.
Cystic fibrosis is a chron-
ic disease that produces
thick mucus that lines the
lungs, acts as a host for
infections and causes scar-
ring and, eventually, respi-
ratory failure. It also
obstructs the pancreas and
prevents enzymes from
breaking down to allow the
absorption of food.
Due to CF's effect on the
pancreas, most adults with
CF also develop diabetes,
as Jamie did in 2004,


requiring multiple insulin
injections daily. .
On Sept. 14, 2006, Jamie
fell ill with an infection
and was admitted to St.
Mary's Medical Center in
' West Palm Beach. After
three weeks there, her con-
dition deteriorated and it
became clear that Jamie
would need a double lung
transplant to survive.
Jamie was flown to
Miami's Jackson-Memorial
Hospital in October, and
four days later learned that
a matching donor had
been found.
Critically ill as she went
into surgery, Jamie suf-
fered complications at the
start of the operation and
required 24 minutes of
chest compressions,
resulting in a lack of oxy-
gen that damaged her neu-
rological system.
She survived the surgery,
but had to learn how to
walk, eat and speak all over
again.
After the surgery, Jamie
entered physical and occu-
pational therapy. All told,
Jamie spent 14 weeks in
the hospital before she was
able to return home on
Dec. 23.
Jamie continues to need
therapy to improve. She
can speak now, -but her
speech is sometimes diffi-
cult to understand.
Her mother-in-law,


Kathy Cummings, a retired
Hidden Oaks Middle
School teacher, recently
took Jamie on an outing to
the mall, and Jamie was
able to walk through' the
mall unassisted. When a
visitor told Jamie she
thought that was terrific
progress, Jamie respond-
ed, "So do I."
Mrs. Cummings, along
with the rest of her family,
spent a great deal of time
at Jamie's bedside while
Jamie was critically ill.
"I knew she was going to
be okay when she was in
intensive care, because she
had adult sarcasm," said
Mrs. Cummings.
"I knew she was locked
in there, and that her per-
sonality was there, even
though she couldn't com-
municate with us. I knew
she was going to be okay.
God gave her back to us for
a reason," she said.
Unfortunately, Jamie's
well-being and progress
have put a tremendous
financial burden on her
and Chris.
Although Jamie has
health insurance, she has
reached the maximum
amount they will cover,
including the cost of her
therapy sessions at $150
each.
Jamie must take 18 dif-
ferent medications a day,
including insulin and anti-
rejection drugs that she
will need for the rest of her
life.
"Jamie's insurance costs
$300 per month, with a
$1,000 yearly deductible,"
said Chris.
"Not all of her medica-
tions are covered, and nei-


their was the cost of har-
vesting her donor's organs,
which is about $30,000.
The air rescue was not cov-
ered either, and that was
$10,000," he said.
Chris has insurance
through his employer for
himself, but it will not
cover the costs of Jamie's
pre-existing condition.
Fortunately, Jamie and
Chris have people who
care in Martin County.
To raise money to offset
Jamie's medical costs,
"Friends of Jamie Cum-
mings" will host a benefit
on May 12 from 7-10 p.m.
at Indian RiverSide Park in
Jensen Beach. The event is
for adults only, and will
include live music and a
silent auction.
Tickets are $25 per per-
son and include admis-
sion, two cocktails and
hours d'oeuvres.
One of the organizers is
Gail Olsen, principal of
Felix A. Williams Elemen-
tary School in Stuart. The
school's former principal is
Ken Cummings, Jamie's
father-in-law.
Jamie's father, Jim
Schweikert,, is an active
member of the Martin
County Board of Realtors,
and her mother, Pat, is a
former English instructor
at IRCC.
As Mrs. Olsen said, "This
is an opportunity to give
back to two families who
have done so much for our
community."

For tickets or more infor-
mation on the event, con-
tact Gail Olsen at 219-1640,

Huong
From page A1


the self-taught artist has
spent the last three
decades traveling
throughout the U.S. and
Canada with her exhibits.
Huong lived in Alaska
for ten years, where she
raised a son. In the mid-
1980's, Senator Lawton
Childs invited Huong to
visit Florida after he saw
her exhibit displayed in
the Capitol rotunda. She
eventually made Florida
her home in 1993.
When Mrs. Wicina
moved to Martin County
and met Huong in 2003,
something stirred in her.
"Huong had this
provocative painting
about a disabled war vet,
and when I saw it, all my
feelings came out," said
Mrs. Wicina
Mrs. Wicina had always
used writing to express
her feelings, but after her
son's death, she developed
writer's block.
"Huong broke my
block," said Mrs. Wicina.
"She gushes when she
paints, and I gush when I
write."
Huong said the Iraq War
evokes sadness and anger
in her that she had long-
ago buried deep inside
after the Vietnam War.
"How could we allow
this to happen again?" she
asked.
One of the first blocks of
canvas the viewer sees
when looking at Huong's
art tells some history of
the flag, under the head-
ing "Let Me Heal."
It reads, "On June 12,
1774, the American flag
was conceived. The first
day it was used (in) battle
was the Battle of Brandy-
wine Sept. 11, 1777. On
Sept. 11, 2001, she was 224
years and 89 days old."
The piece is displayed
along two walls in Huong's
gallery, and at various
points, a story is told from
the flag's point of view, in
Mrs. Wicina's words.
"I stood firm in the
crossfire answering the
call of duty, weeping with
the living, praying for your
dead."
Visitors at the gallery
could be seen wiping tears
as they walked slowly


along the walls. Imbedded
in the canvas are repro-
ductions of real letters
written by U.S. military
members to their families
since the beginning' of the
Iraq war.
One letter was written
by U.S. Army Sgt. William
Sigua to his mother.
"Sure by the time we
leave this deployment, we
might turn this city
around, but you can't
erase the deep hatred
between the groups here.
They have been merciless-
ly slaughtering each other
for long before this war
has been going on. No
amount of American
influence will be able to
remedy that. But I still
don't think we should pull
out anytime soon...I am
honored to have the
opportunity to give back
to the country that has
given me so much, and
anyone who thinks differ-
ently should be ashamed
of themselves. If I do not
come back from this
deployment, you can tell
people that you are proud
of me, and I of myself."
Sgt. Sigua was killed by
small-arms fire on Jan. 31,
2007. He was 21-years-old.
Huong's message is sim-
ple. She hopes her art will
help spur average Ameri-
cans from complacency to
action in working toward
peace.
At the unveiling of "The
Flag at War," a steady
stream of visitors came
through Huong's gallery in
the first hour alone. Some
wiped tears, others hugged
Huong and many
thanked her for express-
ing what they could not.
One veteran was over-
heard telling her about his
own experiences.
Jen LaGratta, executive
director of Florida Arts and
Dance Company in Stuart,
was a college student
when the Vietnam War
began. She said she lost
many friends during that
conflict, and when she first
viewed Huong's work, all
her feelings from living in
that time came flooding
back.
"I feel like we are repeat-
ing history," she said. "But

Story last time, our
WV Moroccan tour
group was headed to the
desert for the night.
First, we spent the day
exploring the surrounding
Berber villages with our
guide, Ali, who was dressed
in a traditional blue caftan
and turban.
We visited a historic
kasbah and then ventured
into a local market, which
sold everything from
tomatoes to camels.
Afterward, we piled into a
fleet of Jeeps and headed for
the bright orange sand
dunes of Merzouga and our
Berber camp for the night
Once we arrived, we were
assigned small tents, mostly
made of thick blankets, rugs
and mattresses. Lunch was
ready and like all meals in
Morocco, it did not disap-
point.
We ate outside in the sun,
mesmerized by the dunes

before us. Suddenly, a
person appeared in the
distance. He knelt and
prayed to Mecca.
It was a touching sight that
I'll never forget.
After lunch we began our
camel trek. I've reluctantly
ridden many a grouchy
camel in my day, but this
camel was quite sweet.
To say our trek was
magical through the ever-
changing colors of the
dunes is an understate-
ment. Eventually, some of
us decided to climb the
dunes.

Our guides went first, but
when we started to struggle,
they unwound their turbans
and used them as ropes to
pull us up.
Finally, we reached the top
as the sun began to set. After
watching the gorgeous
sunset, it was time to climb
down. Some people walked,
while others sat and gleeful-
ly slid down the dunes as if
sledding.
Soon it was time for
dinner, drumming and
some Moroccan dancing.
It was a lot of fun, topped.
off by my being serenaded,
under the desert stars, by
our guide, All. It was just
another one of those
magical Moroccan
moments.
Later, I walked to the more
elaborate tent I had been
asked to try. It had a real
bed, but no better protec-
tion from the winter cold.
The six wool blankets
didn't help much, but I
finally slept. However, it
wasn't long before I was
wakened to view the
sunrise.
Reluctantly, I dressed in
everything I had and walked
to the dunes for turned out
to be the slowest sunrise
ever and I was freezing, but
once the sun came up it was
exquisite.
Our group left after
breakfast, knowing we had
just had a remarkable
experience. I'd certainly
recommend it, but just try it
in warmer weather.
From the desert, we drove
through the valley of 1,000
Kasbahs. In the spring when
the roses bloom, the
"Festival of Roses" is
conducted here.
The valley was beautiful,
but it must be gorgeous
when it's filled with flowers.
Soon we saw the Atlas
Mountains as we headed to
Ouarzazate.
Once we settled into our
hotel, we finally washed off
the last sands of the desert.
The next day we toured
the hauntingly beautiful
kasbah ofAit Ben Haddou
before shopping and lunch.
Then we visited one of
Morocco's famous film
studios. Morocco attracts
movies that call for Styro-
foam-painted Egyptian
temples and biblical villages
set in desert locations.
From Ouarzazate we next
explored the walled city of


Taroudent then we drove to
the Imperial City of Mar-
rakesh.
With the Atlas Mountains
as a backdrop and palm
trees all around, Marrakesh
looks like a picture postcard.
We toured the Elbadi
Palace, various tombs and
gardens, but mostly we
shopped. The colorful souk
(market) is legendary and
after exploring it together,
we were-left to our own
devices. People bought
everything from large doors
to rugs, from fancy slippers
to perfumes. I bought a big
hanging lantern that Ihad
no idea how to get home,
but I did.
The next day we took a
relaxing carriage ride to a
local art museum, but soon
were ready for our daily fix
of the souk. In the evening
we attended a splashy
dinner in tents, with
dancers and horseback
riders as entertainment.
It was a bit over the top,
but a fun way to end our
stay in Marrakesh.
With our tour winding
down, we headed to
Morocco's coast. As we
drove through the country-
side, we stopped to marvel
at all the goats in trees. They
climb up to eat argon nuts,
touted as the best nuts for
making cooking oil and skin
lotions.
Eventually, we reached the
ocean and the charming,
whitewashed village of
Essaouria. We stayed in a
colorful riad (think bed and
breakfast), where we were
treated to dinner, music,
dancing and drumming
once again.
The group would have one
more day in Casablanca, but
I was off to Egypt to lead a
tour there.
On our whirlwind two-
week trip through Morocco,
we covered so much ground
that we took bets on the
number of miles covered
(about 1,300). I loved the
sights, the sounds, the land
and the people. Would I go
back?Yes, and I plan to go
for this June's annual
"Sacred Music Festival for
World Peace" in Fez.
Would I urge you to go to
Morocco?You bet; anytime.

specialists to man the
trauma center. Their
salaries total an estimated
$4.2 million annually. The
remaining revenue gener-
ated would go toward
additional hospital costs
associated with the trau-
ma center start-up, which
could be as high as $3 mil-
lion a year, according to
Lawnwood spokeswoman
Beth Williams.
The timing of the refer-
endum is critical because
Lawnwood's state-
appointed' designation as
a regional trauma center
will lapse on Oct. 1 if the
service does not begin as
stipulated in Lawnwood's
application, she said.
If the application lapses,
Mrs. Williams said the hos-
pital would have to start
the costly application
process all over again.
Putting together the origi-
nal application cost Lawn-
wood between $60,000
and $70,000, she said.
But there is another con-
cern.
"If another hospital
chose to apply, then they
could," she said. "If there
are multiple applications,
the state would have to
decide which one to
choose. It could create a
three- to four-year
process."
County Commissioner
Charles Grande, District 4,
said Lawnwood's claim
that it would not be able to*
get a second extension on
the application raised
doubt.
"How do you justify a
single-purpose election
being held in June in this
area?" he asked. "You do it
by saying it's time depend-
ent. If it really is, we need
to consider that. If it's not,
we need to know that. We
need to check with Sen.
(Ken) Pruitt's office to see
if his staff could get an


extension approved. This
being rushed, in this sea-
son, with the current tax
situation ... With the haste
they're moving this along,
I'm not sure the voters are
going to have all the
opportunity to get all the
information they should
to make a decision."
Along the same lines, he
said if the Commission
waited until the end of the
state's regular legislative
session in May, a decision
on the referendum may
differ based on state. tax
relief figures that are cur-
rently unknown.
Something else Com-
missioner Grande said the
board needs to carefully
consider is the concept of
tax money subsidizing a
for-profit corporation.
But Commissioner Joe
Smith, District 1, said he
doesn't think that argu-
ment holds water.
"Look at privatization in
the federal government,"
he said. "Look how much
the president has moved
to privatize social services,
ports and other programs.
The issue here is if we
believe trauma services
are important. I don't
think it matters whether
it's at a public or a private
hospital."
Commissioner Smith
said he supports putting
the referendum out to vot-
ers.
"We don't get to pick and
choose what !goes to vot-
ers," he said, noting that,
in the end, it will be up to
the voters to make their
decision.
The commissioner said
he's sympathetic to people
who say their taxes are
already too high, like those
who showed up at last
week's Commission meet-
ing.
"I'm in that boat, too,"
he said.


But he said bringing a
trauma center to Fort
Pierce is a quality-of-life
issue.
Currently, people in
need of trauma care in St.
Lucie County are flown to
St. Mary's Medical Center
in West Palm Beach or
Holmes Regional Medical
Center in Melbourne.
While a trauma center in
Fort Pierce would mean
patients could receive a
high-level of care within
the first hour of injury, it
would also improve overall
care at the hospital since
trauma centers are
required to have trauma
surgeons, staff and other
specialists at the facility
24/7/365, Mrs. Williams
said.
Then again, Martin
Memorial Health Systems
is against the proposed
trauma center, basing its
stance on an American
Medical Association study
which indicates trauma
centers that treat less
than 650 patients a year
have a mortality rate
more than double that of
a trauma center with a
higher patient volume.
The study found that
those centers treating 650
or more patients had a
mortality rate of 24.2 per-
cent. However, trauma
centers that saw less than
650 patients per year with
such. injuries had a mor-
tality rate of 51.7 percent.
Lawnwood has agreed
to a 10-year sunset on the
referendum, meaning
voters would fund the
trauma center for 10 years
and have the option to
renew the tax after that
period.
"We believe, they're
going to want to renew it,"
Mrs. Williams said. "We're
going to provide a first-
class trauma center.


Davy Jones hosting event to


benefit Indiantown education


BY RITA HART
Staff writer


INDIANTOWN When
"The Monkees" television
show aired for the first
time in 1966, Davy Jones
quickly became known as
"the cute" one with the
British voice. All four
members of that musical
group became so famous
it's hard to believe the
show only aired for two
seasons.
What may also be sur-
prising is that Mr. Jones,
an avid horseman, is an
Indiantown resident and
an advocate of education.
Those interests have


resulted in his hosting, for
the third year, a benefit to
raise funds for the
Indiantown Education
Coalition, an organization
that, since 1997, has pro-
vided more than $140,000
in scholarships and fund-
ing for classroom grants
and projects for
Indiantown schools.
"A Groovy Night on the
Ranch" will take place on
Friday, April 20 at 6:30
p.m. at the Indian River-
Side Park in Jensen Beach.'
The event includes a
prime rib dinner catered
by Manero's Restaurant of
Palm City, entertainment
by Mr. Jones, and dancing


to music provided by DJ
Jammin' Jim Colbert.
Tickets for the event are
$50 per person. Organiza-
tions can reserve a table
for eight guests for $400,
or a table can be spon-
sored for eight teachers to
attend for $400.
Event organizers say
dress for the event is
"cowboy casual," but ask
that guests not wear
spurs.

Symphony

to feature

localhigh

school

musician

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
When Stuart attorney
Richard Levenstein began
playing the cello with the
Treasure Coast Symphony
in the late 1990s, his wife,
Kelly, often accompanied
him to rehearsals in Fort
Pierce.
She had no idea, then,
that she would become its
president and brings her
passion to its mission of
promoting music and
music education .to its
members and the commu-
nity.
The symphony will per-
form its final concert of
the season on April 22 at
the Sunrise Theatre in Fort
Pierce with a performance
by the winner of the Young
Artist Scholarship,
Nicholas Galfond, a
marimba player and stu-
dent at Martin County
High School.
Now in its 22nd season,
the symphony is made up
of musicians from all
walks of life, ranging in age
from teens to octogenari-
ans.
Beginning in September,
they rehearse on Monday
evenings at Forest Grove
Middle School in Fort
Pierce.
There are approximately
60 musicians who volun-
teer with the non-profit
group; the numbers grow
as musicians who live up
north or in other countries
return for the season.
This year, the group is
under the musical direc-
tion of conductor Stephen
Torick; his wife, Kathryn is
the assistant conductor.
The group performs
three concerts in its sea-
son, a holiday perform-
ance, a concert in January,
and the final performance
in April, where the schol-
arship winner performs.
The $1,000 scholarship is
awarded each year to a
musician under 25 who
live in Martin, St. Lucie,
Indian River or Okee-
chobee counties.
Candidates must pre-
pare a recording of a fast
movement from a stan-
dard concerto for solo
instrument and orchestra

Entertainment writer
There may not be 76
trombones when Shiloh
Theatrical Productions
performs Meredith Wil-
son's beloved show "The
Music Man" at the Lyric
Theatre from April 18-22,
but the cast will be one of
the largest Shiloh has put
together for one show.
"This musical is a lot of
musical," said Faye
McKenzie, producer of
the show. "We have a cast
of about 50, including 12
children. They have to
sing, dance and act. A lot
of community theaters
cut the dancing, but we
have one ofthe best cho-


reographers on the Trea-
sure Coast."
Mrs. McKenzie knows
the choreographer well;
it's her daughter, Beth
McKenzie Shestak, a pro-
fessional actress who has
returned to the Treasure
Coast to raise a family.
Casting the principle
roles was a challenge for
the producer.
"We had open audi-
tions, and so many peo-
ple showed up," she says.
"It was unbelievable. It is
amazing, the amount of
talent in this town. We
have what we think is a
stellar cast."
Among the principals
are Rick Decker as pro-
fessor Harold Hill;

Having both the sun and Mercury in Aries this
week is like having a sharp two- edged sword
working for you. The sun rules the instincts and
Mercury rules the mind. When a good idea pops in
your mind it is coming from the instincts and fur-

puts the odds or probabilities of success in your
favor. Listen to, trust and take action on this divine
guidance and you will be victorious.

The sky is the limit for

Rotary's poker run benefit


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS
The Hobe Sound/Port
Salerno Rotary Club will
take poker to the skies to
support local charities next
month.
Pilots and airplanes will
travel to pre-selected desti-
nations and receive a play-
ing card in a sealed envelope
at each destination.
The game is five card stud,
and it will be played on Sat-
urday, May 5, with a rain
date set for Sunday, May 6.
The run starts at Witham
Field in Stuart.
At the end of the run, the
pilot with the best hand
wins a prize.
There is a fee to enter, and
proceeds go to charity.
This event is not a race and
not a rally; a poker run is a
game of chance.


Tentative destinations,
totaling 143 miles, include:
*Stuart (SUA) to Fort
Pierce (FPR) 24 miles
*Fort Pierce (FPR) to Vero
Beach (VEP) 14 miles
*Vero Beach (VEP) to
Okeechobee OBE) 37 miles
*Okeechobee (OBE) to
North Palm Beach County
(F-45) 48 miles
*North Palm Beach Coun-
ty (F-45) to Stuart (SUA) 20
Miles
Pilots are encouraged to
solicit as many dollar-per-
mile donations for their
flight as possible.
Fixed Base Operators are
encouraged to donate or at
least discount fuel to partici-
pating pilots.
The Rotary Club supports
the following charities:
*Adaptive Health and

and be prepared to per-
form with the orchestra at
its final concert.
"It's a wonderful experi-
ence," Kelly Levenstein
said. "At the end of the
concert, we put the lights
up and the audience asks
questions of the young
artist. It's a nice interac-
tion between the young
person and the audience.
It's a community orchestra
for the community and it
makes classical music
more accessible and
friendly. It's warm and
inviting, not stuffy."


This year, the symphony
initiated a pilot program
with Forest Grove Middle
School, donating eight
violins for students to use
for music lessons. Con-
certmaster Linda Spiwak
donated her time and tal-
ent to teach the children.
The organization hopes to
continue the program next
year.
"I believe in classical
music for children," Kelly
Levenstein said. "With
cuts in school programs,
the kids don't know about
it. We did a free children's
concert this for year for
that reason, too Seeing
people on stage helps


make children
about music."

(Syndicated News) According to the
United States Business Administration, in
2005 there were almost 25 million business-
es in this country. Roughly 99.9 percent of
them were considered small firms, with
fewer than 500 employees. There is no
doubt about the vast array of businesses
that fill each city and town. And there's no
shortage of people looking to start new.
businesses each year.
Coming up with the idea for a business is
usually the easy part. Finding out how to
raise capital to get it
going is a whole other
story. And it seems to
be the point that most
people get stuck on. -..-
The U.S. Small
B u s i n e s s
Administration
reports that inade-
quate financing is the
second most common
reason that businesses
fail, exceeded only by
poor management.. So
the' main thing an
entrepreneur needs to
know is where to go to
find the capital to
fund that next great
idea. But that has
always been the tricky
part of the business ,...
world. Until now.
"In the past, figuring
out how to raise capi- A< .
tal was the biggest -g
challenge of getting a
-business up and run- ''
ning, and for many
people it seemed like an impossible feat,"
explains Richard Singer, CEO of
RaiseCapital.com. "Today, people turn to us
because we help bridge the gap between


ill


the entrepreneur and the investor."
RaiseCapital.com is changing the way that
financing a business has always been done.
Those seeking funds, whether for new or
existing businesses, simply place an ad in
the RaiseCapital.com directory using text
descriptions, photos and streaming video,
then sit back and wait for the replies to roll
in. Meanwhile, investors sift through the
possibilities, deciding where they'd like to
see their money grow. When they find a
venture that interests them, they simply
make the contact,
right through the
RaiseCapital.com sys-
tem. Their technology
also allows investors
to track all the con-
I tacts they have made,
search for opportuni-
ties by zip code, get
S industry e-mail alerts
and create a watch list.
Investors are not
charged anything at
all to see the opportu-
nities or make any
SJ contacts.
"RaiseCapital.com is
a win-win situation
for everyone
involved," adds Singer.
"For less than the
Price of a daily latte,
entrepreneurs get
quality exposure to
find the capital they
need. Most start-ups
or small businesses
don't have a lot of
money to spend on
letting investors know they exist.
RtaiseCapital.com makes the whole process
a lot less complicated."

Recipes for Pasta Fazool, Key


Time Pie, fruit salad offered


Hello, smart shoppers.
Hope you had a
wonderful holiday.
Be sure to check out my
Mother's Day cookbook
special at the end of the
column.
Today's column will have
requests, answers, and
recipes for Pasta Fazool, a
Key Lime Pie that's safe to
eat, and a great fruit salad.

Keep it clean

Something that I've
thought about for years has
been brought to my
attention.
When buying canned
foods or sodas do you just
open the can or pop the top
and use?
Did you ever stop to think,
"Where has this can been,
who has touched it, was an
animal or insect near it?"
I wash all cans, even soda
and beer cans, with ammo-
nia and water or you can
use vinegar.
Wash and scrub, if
possible, all fruits and
vegetables.
I'll bet you buy a bunch of
bananas, break one off, peel
it and give it to your child.
Even though the peel is not
eaten, it can be contami-
nated. You know what we
now have to do. This is a
scary world we live in.

Recipe requests

Now for some requests.
Marcello is looking for
a stuffed tomato recipe like

Elaine is looking for

percent sweeter than table
sugar), Steven Pratt,
author of"SuperfoodsRx"
and "SuperFoods Health
Style," says honey offers
many benefits.
He offers .these facts
about honey.
Honey contains at
least 181 known sub-
stances and its' antioxi-
dant activity stems from
phenolics, peptides,
organic acids and
enzymes.
The darker the honey,
the higher the level of
antioxidants.
Honey increases good
bacteria in the intestines.
It can help lower
blood pressure and
cholesterol.
So, let's add some honey
to a smoothie, drizzle it on
fruit, use it on toast or
make my "Let's Empty the
Refrigerator Fruit Salad."
Warning: Never give
honey to a baby younger
than 1 because it may
contain C. botulnum,
which can cause infant
botulism.
Older children and adults
are not usually affected by
these spores, which are
present throughout the
environment.
Enjoy. See you next week.

LET'S EMPTY
THE REFRIGERATOR FRUIT
SALAD (NIB)

Are you tired of looking at
that lonely peach, plum,
nectarine or any fruit that
doesn't get eaten? Are the
bananas getting too many
brown flecks? Is there only
one slice of melon left?
Here's a recipe to use to
empty the refrigerator.
Remember to peel .fruit
only when necessary.

Cut fruit into bite-size
pieces and place in a large
bowl.
Squeeze on some lemon
juice, which prevents fruit
from darkening.
Add 1/2 cup orange juice
or any juice available
(except prune juice).
Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons
honey in 1/3 cup warm
water. Pour over fruit, mix
well and taste for balance
of sweetness.
For adults only: Spike it
up with a splash of anisette
or schnapps. Cover, chill
and enjoy.
Any kind of fruit can be
used, from fresh to canned
to frozen.

KEY LIME PIE (NIB)

A key lime pie is pale
yellow. If you want color,
add a few drops of green
food coloring.
In the past, this pie was
made with eggs and not
cooked thoroughly.
Today, with the threat of
salmonella, the ingredients
must be cooked.
To top the pie with
meringue, follow the
recipe for cooked
meringue or buy powdered
egg whites and follow the
package instructions.

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoons butter or
butter substitute such as
Smart Balance
1/4 cup fresh key lime
juice *
Grated rind of 1 key lime
Baked 9-inch pie shell or
graham cracker pie shell

Combine first 4 ingredi-
ents in a saucepan. Gradu-
ally stir in water. Cook over
low heat, stirring constant-
ly until thickened.
Remove from heat.
Quickly whisk a small
amount of hot mixture into
beaten egg yolks. Then
whisk that into saucepan.


Return to heat and cook
stirring for 2 minutes. Stir
in butter, lime juice and
rind. Cook until butter is
melted.
Pour into baked pie shell
and cool. Top with
meringue and bake as
instructed. Whipped
cream or whipped topping
can be substituted.
* If regular lime juice is
used it will be a lime pie.

COOKED MERINGUE
Enough for I pie

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons
sugar,
1 tablespoons cornstarch
3 egg whites, at room
temperature
Dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine water, sugar
and cornstarch in a small
saucepan. Cook over
medium heat, stirring
constantly until glossy and
thickened.
Be sure the egg whites are
at room temperature; beat
with salt and vanilla until
foamy. Continue beating,
while gradually pouring
cooked mixture into egg
whites.
Beat at least 3 minutes or
until stiff peaks form when
lifting the beater. Spread
meringue over pie sealing

PASTA CON
FAGIOLE
(PASTA FAZOOL)
Serves 4

Pasta Fazool, or to be
grammatically correct,
Pasta Con Fagiole, once
considered "peasant food"
is now found in your finest
Italian restaurants.
However you say it, this is
simply pasta and beans. It
is best made with small
tubular pasta such as
tubetti, tubettini or
ditalini.
My mom tells me that
years ago, pasta was sold in
local markets in huge
barrels, and the broken
pieces at the bottom of the
barrels were mixed togeth-
er and sold for a penny a
pound expressly for this
dish.
By omitting the ham you
will have a vegetarian dish.

1/2 pound small pasta
1 large onion, (1 cup)
chopped
2 or 3 cloves fresh garlic,
chopped
1/4 pound leftover Virginia
ham, if you have some
frozen or 1/4 pound
boiled ham, chopped .
2 tablespoon extra virgin

Get spiritual life by slowing down outer life


Is time speeding up? It
may not be, but our use
of it surely is.
In previous centuries, it
took several months to get
messages around the
world. Now, with the
Internet, a message can go
around the world in a
matter of seconds. This is
the electronic age we live
in.
Something else has risen
in our lives along with
these advances that is
cause for alarm. Because
of living in this fast-paced
world, our lives continue
to speed up, but we are
gradually wearing down.
We are caught up in this
whirlwind of activity. It's
like being on a treadmill,
moving forward, but not

really getting anywhere.
The stress of living this
way is eroding the basic
fundamentals of life.
It's time to get back to
the basics. So how do we
deal with this imbalance? \
We have created a lot of
quick fixes to treat the
effects this stressful way of
life. There are fast food
restaurants dishing out
offerings to the hungry,
weary, overworked and
undernourished souls.
If you drive down the
interstates at 80 miles and
hour, which is 10 miles
over the speed limit, cars
driving 90 and 100 coming
up from behind almost
run you off the road in
their haste.
When we watch televi-
sion; we are bombarded
with hundreds of miracle
cures, quick fixes and
prescription drugs to
relieve what ails us.
The story goes that if we
take all these little white,
red, blue, yellow and green
pills we will feel better,
have less anxiety, reduce
pain or sleep better.

Alcohol is used to relax
or numb pain until it
sometimes becomes
addictive.
All the quick fixes do is
treat the effects of our
bodies, minds, hearts and
souls breaking down,
instead of removing the
causes.
Is there any hope or
solution to living a better
quality life or removing
some of the quick fix ways?
I believe there is. It begins
when we admit to being
powerless over the outer
life, and begin to want a
more peaceful, healthy,
happy and creative life.
The journey is within,
and the first step is to love
yourself enough, and
begin to listen to and
follow the heart, rather
than the head.
The heart is the emotion-
al intuitive center and the
window to the soul and
instincts. Until we become
centered within and begin
to listen to and trust the
divine inner guidance, we
are shut off from the
greatest source of truth we
will ever know.
Surrender to the heart.
Refuse to let doubt, fear,
guilt, anger and indecision
in the head, overrule the
kind, peaceful, loving,
happy nature living in the
heart. It all comes down to
the choices we make.
If you were to take an
inventory every day of all
the things you think you
need to take care of, then
let the heart tell you if
action is needed on them.
About a third or a half of
the things on the list
would not get time or
attention.Why?
Because the intuition
and instincts through
visions and feelings from
within know the truth
and order of importance.
The head does not.
It's time to get back to
the basics. Go within and
find, love, nurture your-
self, and make wise
choices. This creates a new
feeling of safety and
.security. It makes us
happier as well.
Begin to create new
causes that give hope for a
better life. We can't change
the past. Take a good,
honest look at your own
happiness level and create
new ways to make it

The next change is that

Everyone needs a loving

Without roots a tree or ,

After creating spiritual

Going to the world first,

Scopes
From page BI
are of the light.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You continue to take your life
to higher levels. You are
always searching for new and
better ways to live. Maybe
you should write a book on
how to live a good life. In this
day and age we all need to
hear it. You live it. Keep let-
ting go of unneeded things
and clutter around you. Do a
spring cleaning and then a
yard sale. Give unsold things
to charity. Don't take them
back inside. This sets the
universal wheels in motion
to bring you much new and
higher good. You deserve it.

Libra-Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Affirm every day that you are
continually fed, protected
and blessed by the unlimit-
ed good in the universe.
Give thanks for the many
wonderful friends who
grace your life and bring you
so much love and joy. When
you see and acknowledge
the good in others, they see
and acknowledge it in you
as well. Live each day as if
there is no tomorrow and
continue to share your rich
blessings with everyone you
meet. This is the true mean-


ing and most priceless pos-
session in your life.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Your teaching talents will
continue to be called upon
to help others learn more
about what you know. Edu-
cation is one of your great-
est gifts. You love sharing
your wisdom. When you
help someone else to grow
and find his truth, the joy
comes back to you. Keep
refining your dreams and
goals. Stay focused on the
main ones and help them
grow. When you keep a
steady flow of fresh ideas
flowing, it keeps you fresh
and excited about the end-
less ways to serve.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Lately you have been getting
back to the old ways more
instead of relying on mod-
ern quick fixes. Continue to
reevaluate your spiritual,
emotional and mental pat-
terns. Get back to the basics.
Find ways to simplify life
rather than complicate it.
You have grown a lot this
past year and it serves you
well now. Continue to do
the same for the future and
you will be healthier, happi-
er, more creative and pros-
perous. How could you ask
for more?


Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan 19
Hardship and struggle are in
the past for you. New and
better things are on the way.
Why? Because you are hard
working and take action to
make things happen. Your
greatest responsibility is to
recognize the right ones
when they appear, and set
the most appealing ones in
motion. Watch for and read
the signs that are coming
your way. Living a balanced
life and eating a healthy diet
will give you all the strength
you need. Watch out world,
Capricorn is on the way.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
When you are relaxed, cen-
tered and focused, no other
sign has greater talent than
you to create and accomplish
great visions. You have the
tools and you know how to
use them to inspire others.
You were born to do won-
derful things in life and you
continue to fulfill that prom-
ise. Just look around you at
the long list of accomplish-
ments. You are also a well-
loved and trusted friend.
Yours is a high quality life.
You do it all so well.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Keep your eye on your high-
est goal and refuse to let the
world or others bring it down


until you achieve -it. Claim
your higher good. Know in
your heart that you are wor-
thy to receive it. Your
strong past efforts are
ready to pay off and bring
you present rewards for all
you have done. Your judg-
ment is strong. You are
loyal. Your heart is in it. You
are motivated. You can see
the finish line. It's time to
catch a second wind, go all
out, achieve your victory
and bring home the
rewards.

WRETCHED SOCKET
Ball joints are ball-and-socket joints
in the front suspension that serve
as the pivot points between the
wheels and suspension. On each
side, the lower ball joint is pressed
into and rests in the lower control
arm, while the upper ball joint rests
in the upper control arm. Both con-
trol arms are hinged to enable the
wheel to move vertically. While
each ball joint supports a great deal
of vehicle weight and works at
steadying the wheel, the lower ball
joint bears the majority of the vehi-
cle's weight. Consequently, it is far
more likely to wear out. Excessive
play in the lower ball joint.leads the
tire to recover sloppily from a
minor jolt, which should prompt a
service call.
A damaged suspension system can
lead to ,many more problems in
your vehicle. At ADVANTAGE FORD
OF STUART, we can evaluate the
status of your suspension and
gauge whether or not your vehicle's
suspension needs work. Located at
4000 'S.E. Federal Highway, we
urge you to bring in your car, truck
or SUV at the first sign of a prob-
lem. To schedule an appointment to
have your vehicle looked at call
772.781.6540. We're a "Blue Oval
Certified" Ford dealership. Genuine
Motorcraft parts mean that high
quality is guaranteed. We service
most major makes and models in
addition to Ford and Lincoln/
Mercury cars and, for your conven-
ience, we have Saturday appoint-
ments from 7:30-3:30 as well as
Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00
p.m.
HINT: Vehicles with MacPherson-
strut suspension systems utilize a
lower ball joint and an upper strut
bearing instead of an upper ball
joint.

such fees on a dealer's
buyer's order or invoice is

Readers of this column

Virtually every car dealer

that dealers are legally

right in the butt."
I think their reasoning
when they passed this law
was to prevent car dealers
from discriminating
against less informed and
sophisticated buyers.
In hindsight, we can see
how stupid this law is,
because it allows the car
dealer to charge everybody
the dealer fee, including

-a


the informed, sophisticat-
ed buyer.
Because virtually all car
dealers in Florida charge
this fee (my dealership is
the only one I know that
doesn't), the car dealer
overcomes objections to
the dealer fee by saying,
"this is a fee that all Florida
car dealers charge."
What is a car buyer to
say? He has been told that
everybody charges it and
that it is illegal for the
dealer to take it off his
buyer's order or invoice.
Florida did pass one law
to protect the consumer
against the dealer fee.
This law says dealers
must include the dealer
fee in advertised prices
(the price a salesman
quotes you is not consid-
ered an "advertised price").
Many dealers don't know
about the law or simply
ignore it.
You can pick up the Palm
Beach Post any weekend
and find several car ads
with prices that do not
include the dealer fee. In
the fine print at the
bottom of the ad, it will
say "plus dealer fees" or in
some cases, tell you the
amount of the dealer fee.
Florida law also provides
a loophole in this law,
which was the subject of
my last column. The
loophole is that dealer
group ads don't have to
abide by the law.
Dealers who do under-
stand the law and wish to
abide by it have figured
out a way to get around it.
They simply pick one car
of a particular model and
advertise that price
including the dealer fee.
You don't know that
there is only one car
available with the dealer
fee included in the price.
The only disclosure is a
number along side the car,
such as #2668A, which is
supposed to let you know
that this is the only car
available with the dealer
fee included in the price.

That innocuous number is
the stock number of that
particular car.
There is usually another
"gotcha" which is "price
good on date of publica-
tion only" in the fine print.
The ad often says some-
thing such as "25 others
available at similar sav-
ings." The reason it says
"similar" and not the
"same" is because they
add the dealer fee to the
prices of the others.
Chances are, the car
advertised is not the right
color and equipment for
you and, even if it were,
the chances that they will
have it there when you
arrive are slim and none. If
the odds aren't already
stacked totally against
you, the salespeople are
often not paid any com-
mission or a very small
commission on all adver-
tised cars.
How easy do you think
it will be to buy that
advertised car from a
salesman who can make a
lot more money by selling
you one without the
dealer fee included?
The class action suit in
South Carolina is sympto-
matic of rising consumer
awareness around the
country.
Today's consumers are
more educated and
sophisticated than ever
before. They are also less
tolerant of being taken
advantage of. Call me a
"cockeyed optimist," but I
think it won't be long
before we see a law in
Florida to protect car
buyers from the dealer fee.

No need for telephone


chat if you have IM


A re you one of the
millions of comput-
r users who have
discovered instant mes-
saging?
By instant messaging,
I'm referring to those
popular "buddy list"
programs that let you chat
with friends while you are
online.
Do you use one? I do. In
fact, I have accounts set up
with Yahoo Instant Mes-
senger, AOL Instant
Messenger, MSN Messen-
ger and ICQ.
I have so many instant
messaging accounts that
sometimes it can be hard
to get any work done with
all the chatter.
It's OK though. I can slink
into invisible mode with
all of them and see who is
online, but to them I
appear off-line.
Quiet ensues so I can get
some work done. But I can
also still keep track of
who's online.
To some, instant messag-
ing can seem annoying,
because they haven't
discovered the invisible
mode yet. To others it's a
godsend.
With instant messaging,
many "cube dwellers" in
corporate America can
keep in touch with loved
ones without being on the
phone.
And some of the services
work with aWeb cam,
allowing video chat and
even (when conditions are
right) full-blown video
conferencing.
All this from a little
program that loves to
launch on startup.
So, how does one need to
get started with instant
messaging?
First and foremost, you
need an Internet connec-
tion.
If you are an AOL sub-
scriber, you have a buddy


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This


list that's already built into
your account.
Your buddy list allows
you to chat instantly with
any of your buddies that
are online using AOL or
are online using AOL
instant messenger.
You don't have to be a
member of AOL to use
AIM; you can download it
from www.AIM.com, sign
up and use it through
whatever Internet provider
you choose.
Two more popular
instant messaging pro-
grams are MSN Messenger
andYahoo Messenger.
Again, these programs
need an Internet connec-
tion to work, but what they
do is the same: They let
you keep a list of friends
and show you when they
are online.
Some of the features are
different. For instance,
with MSN Messenger, you
can allow a "'!buddy" to
take over your computer
to help with a repair. You
can't do that with Yahoo
Messenger.
When one of your friends
is online, all you have to
do is double-click on their
little icon, and you can
start chatting with them
instantly.
Some services even let
you link up to your cell
phone, allowing you to see


your buddy list and chat
with them from the road.
So, what's the catch?
Basically, the one
drawback to these appli-
cations is the fact that
your friends all have to be
running the same flavor of
instant messenger pro-
grams as you. That's why I
have so many different
ones.
Sometimes, persuading
a friend to sign up can
also be tricky, but I have
found that most people
enjoy the benefits
immensely once they take
the plunge.
Now, which one to sign
up with?
Probably the easiest way
to choose a messenger
program is to ask your
friends. Send an e-mail to
each and ask if they use
instant messenger, and if
so, which one.
Then, if you have some
friends using AIM and
some friends using MSN,
you can install both, or try
to persuade your friends
to switch to one common
program, but that's
unlikely to happen.
Once you are signed up
with a messaging client,
the next step is to send
notices to all of your
friends inviting them to
join your buddy list.
If they are using the
same instant messaging
program, they can just
accept you as a buddy and
add you to their list. If they
don't have the program,
they will get an e-mail with
a link so they can down-
load and install the
program.
Once you get your buddy
list built, you'll find
staying in touch with
family and friends takes
on a new dimension.

Success By 6 distributes 3,400

books to Martin County children


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

The Success By 6 Book
Drive has collected 3,400
books that will go to chil-
dren at early learning and
after-school programs
throughout Martin County.
United Way's early child-
hood initiative, Success By
6, held the Book Drive Feb.
26 through March 12 to
collect new and gently
used books for children
ranging from infancy
through middle school.
Some of the books this
year will help fill book-
shelves being made by
teenager Nathan Kusel.
Nathan is working toward
becoming an Eagle Scout
and has taken on the proj-
ect of 'constructing 75
bookshelves for each of the
pre-kindergarten children
at the Perkins Center in
Indiantown. When the
shelves are complete, some
of the books collected will
be given to the children to
begin their home library
collection.
Many other books will be
going to fill requests from


early childhood and after-
school learning programs
at Big Brothers/Big Sisters,
Community Christian
Academy and Preschool,
Dunbar Center-Early Head
Start, East Coast Migrant
Head Start, Even Start, First
United Methodist
Preschool, Head Start,
Hope Rural School, Mace-
donia Missionary Early
Development Center, New
Beginnings, Reed Child
Care Center, PACE Center
for Girls and YMCA-Louis
Dreyfus Branch in
Indiantown.
This book collection was
helped by the involvement
of Girl Scout troops
throughout Martin County,
who contributed 1,600 of
the donated books. The
troop with the most books
collected was Troop No.
123, led by Debbie Wynne,
with a total of 566.
Other organizations and
businesses that collected
books include Barnes &
Noble, the Martin County
Clerk of the Courts, the
Martin County Property
Appraiser, Martin County
Supervisor of Elections


Office, Diane Dultmeier
Photography, and Seacoast
National Bank. Several
schools and PTAs also par-
ticipated in donating
books.
The Martin County Fair
Association donated the
space where books were
delivered and stored dur-
ing sorting. Many volun-
teers helped to collect, sort
and deliver the books.
Success By 6 previously
held a "Book Harvest" in
October 2005. That first-
ever Success By 6 book
drive was interrupted by
Hurricane Wilma and still
collected 4,000 books. Fol-
lowing that drive, many
preschools and kinder-
gartens were able to
achieve a higher level of
accreditation because of
the influx of books into
classrooms, along with
books that were given
directly to children.

Crape myrtle offers endless color


If you have ever visited
South Carolina during
the summer, you will
see endless rows of color
in many neighborhoods.
Most likely the plants
you are looking at are
crape myrtle.
Although they are not as
widely used in our area,
they can grow equally as
well in Florida.
Crape myrtle (lager-
stroemia indica) is a
versatile flowering shrub
that boasts glowing
summer color sure to
delight the senses.
The plants, which require
minimal maintenance, are
extremely draught resist-
ant once the plants are
established. They are ideal
for community planting
for this reason.
The only disadvantage is
that the plants loose all
their leaves and flowers
during the winter and
become dormant.
Crape myrtle will grow
efficiently in almost any
soil type, but they will,
have an advantage if you
use good quality topsoil.
For proper preparation,
dig a hole at least twice the
size of the root ball. When
setting the plant into the
hole, be sure it is not any
deeper then it was in the
original container.
Fill the remaining space
with the high quality
topsoil I mentioned earlier.
Be sure to water the plant
thoroughly and use the
water to fill push soil into
any open cavities that
might exist under or
alongside the plant.
It is a good idea to mulch
around the plant, as this
will conserve moisture and
also aid in weed control.
Although the plants will
tolerate draught, it is a
good idea to water crape
myrtle at least once a week
until they are well estab-
lished. Watering once a
week during the prime


flowering season also
helps the plants produce a
bumper crop of color.
The best time to prune
plants is in winter when
they are dormant. This
way, you will not remove
any of the flower buds.
Pruning helps the plant
produce an abundant
array of color during the
summer blooming season.
Crape myrtle can benefit
from a seasonal fertilizing
program.
Use an all-purpose 8-8-8
or 16-4-8 as the fertilizer of
choice. If you have some
10- 10-10 in your garage,
you can use that also.
Only. apply a light
sprinkling around the
plant, as too much fertiliz-
er can either burn the
plant or cause rapid
growth with little flower
production or possible
even both.
Try to fertilize just before
a good rain is forecast. You
can always obtain this
information at
www.hometownweather, n
et.
If you'd like to start your
own plants, crape myrtle
can be easily propagated
from cuttings. The best
candidates for cuttings are


stems that are new, but
mature enough to be
semi-woody in appear-
ance. If you flex the
potential stem to be used,
it should flex without
breaking.
Although rooting hor-
mone is not always
necessary, it can be used.
The cuttings will do best
if they are put in a good
quality-rooting medium,
such as Jiffy Mix, or
equivalent.
Retain moisture by
covering the plants with
plastic to form a sort of
"hot house" effect.
Be sure to keep the
cuttings moist during the
rooting process. Do not
put the new cuttings in the
sun.
Although crape myrtle is
mainly disease free, they
can get powdery mildew
from time to time. Spray
with a fungicide at the
very first signs of this
disease.

Glaucoma a thief


that steals sight


Editor's note: Shelly
Koppel's March 30 column
on glaucoma inadvertent-
ly ran with the correct
headline, but the wrong
article. For readers who
missed the first part of her
two-part series on glauco-
ma, we will be printing
both columns side-by-side
in this edition.

Below is her first col-
umn on the dangers of
glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a thief
that can steal your
eyesight before you
even know you have a
problem.
As with so many illness-
es, there are not symp-
toms in the beginning,
and early detection offers
the best hope for control-
ling the disease and
preventing blindness.
The National Eye
Institute, a division of the
National Institutes of
Health, has a wealth of
information about eye
diseases, including
glaucoma.
First of all, glaucoma is
a not just one disease, but
a group of diseases that
can damage the optic
nerve.
The most common type,
open-angle glaucoma,
occurs when normal fluid
pressure inside the eye
builds up and damages
the optic nerve.
If the damage to the
nerve is unchecked,
glaucoma will cause loss
of vision and permanent
blindness. That's why
checking and controlling
the pressure is so impor-
tant, especially if you are
at risk for glaucoma.
Those at highest risk:
* African-Americans
older than age 40,
* Everyone older than
age 60, especially those of
Mexican descent.
* People with a family
history of glaucoma.
* People with high
blood pressure.
African-Americans are
five times more likely
than Caucasians to get
glaucoma and lose their
vision, so it is extremely
important that African-
Americans older than 40
have regular eye exams.
Ronald Frenkel of the
East Florida Eye Institute,
and a voluntary associate
professor of ophthalmol-
ogy at Bascom Palmer
Eye Institute of the
University of Miami
School of Medicine, says
the ability to detect, and
even predict, who will get
glaucoma has increased
substantially in the past
decade.
His practice uses a
scoring tool for assessing
risk, 'a five-year risk
assessment tool that is
combined with diagnos-
tic testing to determine a
person's overall risk of
developing glaucoma.
The best way to check
your eye health is to have
a comprehensive eye
exam, with drops to dilate
the pupils and enable the
doctor to see to the back
of the eye.
An eye doctor or opli-
thalmologist, who is a
medical doctor, or a
doctor of optometry who
has special training.in
conditions of the eye, can
check for high eye pres-
sure and changes in the
retina, optic nerve and
cornea.
There are several tests
that may be performed:
Visual acuity check.
The common eye chart
test measures how far you
see at different distances


*Visual field test. This
helps measure side or

peripheral vision. Losing
side vision can be a sign
of glaucoma.
Dilation. The doctor
examines the eyes with
special magnifying lens
to check for signs of
damage or changes to the
eye.
Tonometry. An
instrument measures the
pressure in the eye.
Pachymetry. Ultra-
sonic waves measure the
thickness of the cornea.
Glaucoma is, like so
many diseases, a silent
enemy that catches you
unaware.
You feel fine, but the
damage is being done to
the eye well before your
sight is affected.
As with so many other
medical conditions, when
detected early the possi-
bility of controlling the
condition is good.
There are more medica-
tions and treatment
options today than ever
before.
I'll discuss some of
them next week.
In the meantime, make
an appointment to see an
eye doctor.

Keep glaucoma at bay with proper care


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Health writer
Editor's note: Below is
the second part of Shelly
Koppel's two-part series
on glaucoma. In this col-
umn she discusses treat-
ment options.

I recently wrote about
the risk factors for
glaucoma and the
importance of early
detection.
This week, I want to
address treatment. It is
important to remember
that treatment can help
to save vision, but it
cannot restore lost
vision.
It is very important to
have tests regularly, as
recommended by your
physician, if you are 60 or
older, and sooner if you
have risk factors such as
being African-American
or have a family history
of glaucoma.

Special drops

Many people are
familiar with eye drops
that are used to treat
glaucoma, often in its
early stages.
Following is a lost of
some of the medications
applied through eye
drops.
Beta blockers: These
medicines reduce the
production of some fluid
in the eye. Common ones
are Betagan, Timoptic,
and Betoptic.
Alpha-adrenergic
agents: These also reduce
the production of eye
fluids. Common ones are
Lopidine and Alphagan.
Carbonic anhydrates
inhibitors: These also
reduce the amount of eye
fluids. This may also be
taken orally. Common
ones are Trusopt and
Azopt.
Prostaglandin
analogue: These increase


the,outflow of eye fluids.
Xalantan and Travantan
are common medications
of this type. They are
often given with medica-
tions that reduce the
production of the fluids.
+ Miotics: Increase the
outflow of eye fluids.
Common ones are Isopto,
Carpine and Pilocar.
It is important to
remember that these
medications may have
side effects affecting the
eyes and other parts of
the body.
They are powerful
medicines. It is very
important to follow your
physician's instructions
carefully. If you have
more than one medica-
tion, keep a chart to
make sure that you take
each one as scheduled.
Check them off each
day as you apply them.

Surgical options

There are several
surgical procedures that


may help if medications
do not work, or if they
lose their effectiveness.
Ronald Frenkel of the
East Florida Eye Institute
in Stuart is a voluntary
associate professor of
ophthalmology at the
Bascom Palmer Eye
Institute at the University
of Miami School of
Medicine. He says' there
are several procedures


that may be tried, often
in conjunction with
medication.
Also, Dr. Frenkel says
because there are differ-
ent types of glaucoma,
the same treatment may
have different goals.

eye in open-angle
glaucoma and eliminates
fluid blockage in angle-
closure glaucoma. There
are different types of
laser surgery; your
ophthalmologist can
discuss which procedure
would be appropriate in
your case.
* Trabeculectomy: If
medication and laser
surgery do not work, an
operation called a
trabeculectomy may be
performed in a hospital
or outpatient surgery
center.
The surgeon creates an
opening that allows the
aqueous humor to flow
freely. This results in
lower eye pressure.
After surgery, the
patient will require
antibiotics and anti-
inflammatory eye drops
to prevent infection and
scarring.
Remember, too, that
glaucoma surgery may
preserve vision, but it
cannot restore vision
that is already lost.
Dr. Frenkel says that
the greatest problem in
managing glaucoma is


that patients do not use
their medications as
directed.
"Careful adherence to
the prescribed drop
regime is one of the most
successful ways a glauco-
ma patient can improve
their outcome and
reduce their chance of
losing sight from the
silent thief of sight," he
said.

Al Gadzacko of Port St. Lucie prepares for a hometown
bout at the Port St. Lucie Community Center Friday, April
20. Gadzacko is looking to add another notch to his 25-7
record.


PSL resident
headlines local
fight night
BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
Al Gazdacko will sit and
tell you all about how he
used to be one of the top
amateur boxers in the
country. How he used to
knock people out with reg-
ularity, building a career
record of 25-7.
He will also tell you about
the five years he was out of
boxing, when he put his
focus on his family busi-
ness of JGF Flooring. But
that his heart wouldn't let
him quit without trying to
take -on the professional


ranks.
But he would rather tell
you about his upcoming
fight on April 20 at the Port
St. Lucie Community Cen-
ter against Stephen Cox.
The Treasure Coast Clash
will feature up to 10 fights
on the evening of April 20,
including Troy Harden ver-
sus Justin Danforth, and
Khabib Alakhverdiev versus
Devarise Crayton, but none
is more anticipated than
Gazdacko's.
The fight will not only be
his long awaited pro debut,
but also a homecoming for
the Port St. Lucie resident.
"It's going to be big, I know
that," said Gazdacko "I

Area all-stars shine one last time


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
The crowd was waiting
for it.
The players were wait-
ing for it.
Larry Sanders just did-
n't deliver it until the last
couple minutes of the
game.
Sanders couldn't hit a
three-point shot for the


first 38 minutes of the
Treasure Coast All-Star
Senior Showcase. But
with just over two min-
utes remaining, Sanders,
who rarely took shots
beyond the arc during his
career at Port St. Lucie
High School, nailed two
consecutive three's to put
the White team ahead for
good.
The 6-foot, 10-inch


center went through a
defender and added a
thundering self ally-oop
dunk off the backboard,
in the final minute to seal
the deal.
The White team, which
consisted of players from
Port St. Lucie, John Car-
roll, Okeechobee, Jensen

after scoring 29 points.
"It gives us a boost.
Everybody is good so, I
knew they were going to
come back. I just stuck
with (the three-point
shot) and I shot it."
Both the boy's and girl's
All-Star games took place
before vocal crowds on
the campus of Indian
River Community College
on April 4. The event was
a chance for area seniors
to show off one last time
before their high school
careers come to an end.
The games even had a
collegiate feel and were
played over two 20-
minute halves instead of
four 8-minute quarters
because, according to
IRCC women's head bas-
ketball coach Glenda
Montgomery, "they need
to learn to play that way
some time,"
Anthony Raimondi
(Martin County), Ashton
Jones (Sebastian River),
Terry Mckeliver West-
.wood), Paul Bernard
(Central) and Kenny
Moore (Vero Beach) all
shined for the Blue team
in the loss. Each player
scored in double digits.
While the boy's game
featured big dunks, the
biggest coming from
Saintelus as time expired
(a two-handed windmill


off the baseline), the girl's
game was more of a
three-point contest.
In the first half alone,
there were 14 three-point
shots made, five of which
came off the hands of
game MVP, and Jensen
Beach standout LaToya
King. King, who finished
with 30 point's, said that
she wasn't trying to rack
up the points, but just
having a good time play-
ing in the relaxed atmos-
phere. The last game she
played was the 3A state
championship, which her
Falcons won.
"I didn't expect (to
score that much), it feels
good," said King. "I just
wanted to come out and
have a good time. It's an
All-Star game, you're sup-
posed to have fun."
Kenyetta'Brown of Port
St. Lucie (15 points) and
Cameo Kent .of Jensen
Beach (13 points) helped
King lead the Blue team
to a dominating 83-64
victory over the White
team.
Jamarra Robinson of
Centennial had a team-
high 21 points for the
Blue team in the loss.
Kent seemed to enjoy
the game the most of any
player, as she constantly
yelled the crowd and
joked with officials dur-
ing the game. After one
shot, she even high-fived
fans while running down
the court to play defense.

Mitch Kloorfain
chief photographer
Vero Beach head coach
Chuck Loewendick, Eric
Smith of Jensen Beach,
Katie Kerr of Fort Pierce
Central and Wendell
Adams of Lincoln Park
Academy were selected
to coach in the game, but
in reality, they were just
fans for the night, as they
let their players enjoy the
spotlight.
"Its lots of fun when
you get the best in the
area together. I think it
shows that the Treasure
Cast players can match
up against any area," said
Kerr. "I don't think I said
anything. Most of these
girls have been playing
on a varsity level for four
years. I don't have to tell
them anything."
It also gave the coaches
an opportunity to coach
their star players one last
time.
"It kind of brings you
back to the season," said
Smith, who admitted he
watched the game more
than he coached it. "See-
ing those kids on the
floor makes you wish you
could hold on to them."
The two teams were
selected by IRCC assis-
tant coach John Pic-
chiarini, who is also a
color annalist on WPSL
1510 AM for high school
basketball, and the rest of
the IRCC coaching staff.

home town is going to be
the best thing tatever hap-
pened to me."
Gazdacko grew up in
Port St. Lucie, and attend-
ed Fort Pierce Central
High School. It was there
he figured out he was a
good fighter, getting into
more scrapes rather than
study hall.
At 17, he found the gym
and never looked back.
He began his comeback
in 2005 after securing a
fight with Leonard Collier,
but on March 31,2006, but
Collier pulled out two
weeks before and left "Big"
Al waiting. Now, more
than a year after he
thought he would be back
in the ring, he finally is.
Coming back from a
five-year lay off hasn't
been the easiest thing for
Gazdacko either. His wife
wasn't for it, and neither
were some of his other rel-
atives. But after helping
train kids at the Port St.
Lucie Police Athletic
League in his time away
from the ring, he got the
bug to do it himself.
He traveled to Vero
Beach to spar with unde-
feated heavyweight Mike
Marrone. The perform-
ance got the attention of


House of Champions
trainer Gus Curren and
Gazdacko has been train-
ing at the gym ever since.
Reluctant to give his age,
Gazdacko has earned back
his youthful presence in
the ring since his return
and shows no signs of get-
ting older. Being able to
train alongside Marrone,
who fights Malichy Farrell
(16-0) in Atlantic City, N.J.
on the same night at the
Treasure Coast Clash, has
helped Gazdacko get into
fighting shape faster than
expected. It has also
helped him learn to take a
punch again, this time
from one of the best fight-
ers in the country.
"If I can go six rounds
with Mike, then I can take
a punch from anybody,"
said Gazdacko. "(Oppo-
nents) won't hit me as
hard as Mike Marrone
does. They aren't as quick
and as fast as these guys
are. These guys are heavy-
weight prospects."
Standing 6-foot, 5-inch-
es, and weighing in at 230
pounds, Gazdacko pro-
vides a big target for his
opponents to land a
knockout punch, but what
separates him from other
fighters is his speed.
Running three to five
miles every other day and
going to sprinting practice

and Fridays has given the
big man light feet in the
ring, and a quick jab. It also
has earned him the respect
of some of the top boxers in
the country who also call
the House of Champions
home.
"He can put together
more than two punches, he
can put together like four
and five punches which is
odd for a heavyweight. He's
got good fluidity," said Mar-
rone. "Training here, he's
developing the attitude of a
fighter. That doesn't mean


like a mean surly kind of a
person. But you learn to act
like a fighter. It's something
you learn by being around
it."
After the fight on April 20,
Gazdacko will fight again
on June 22, but doesn't
know who is will be against
just yet. But he isn't con-
cerned about that right
now, he is focused on show-
ing everyone in his home-
town that "Big Al" is back in
the ring, ready to put Port
St. Lucie on the profession-
al boxing map.

Young all-stars take center stage


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer


While the high school
kids showed off their skills
at the fourth annual Don
Wallen All-Star Classic at
Martin County High
School on April 7, fans did-
n't have to look far to see
the future of Treasure Coast
basketball.
Middle school all-star
teams from around the
area competed in a tourna-.
ment before the high
school games, and showed
that they too could make
the crowd "ooh and ahh."
Six teams from Jupiter to
St. Lucie County partici-
pated in the event. The
championship game fea-
tured the Treasure Coast
Tar Heels and The Martin
County Fighting Tigers
with the Tar Heels defeat-
ing the Tigers, 34-31 to win
the tournament.
All games had a running


clock and 16 minute
halves, except the final,
which had four eight-
minute quarters..
Chris Wallen, head coach
of the Tigers and son of ex-
Martin County High School
coach Don Wallen, liked the
idea of getting his kids a
taste of what it is like at the
next level. All his players
will attend Martin County
high schools next year.
"The idea is to get these
kids to play ball all year
long so they are ready for
high school," Wallen said.
"Its my dad's tournament.
My son played in it, and I'm
playing in the alumni
game. It's a pretty fun day
for me."
In the title game, Jorel
Terrell (8 points) and
Matthew Baptiste (11
points) led the Tar Heels to
the victory with a fierce
inside presence.
Terrell, who will be a
freshman at Treasure Coast


High School in the fall,
liked that he got to play
against kids that will be
playing on a regular basis
next year.
"Now I know how they
play," said Terrell. "I just
have to watch and see how
they play next year now. I
know what I have to do (to
get better)."
Tar Heels head coach,
and Martin County alum,
Kindell Rivers was excited
about his team's win, but
more excited about the
learning experience the
tournament offered the
young players.
"It's good to see a variety
of talent from around the
state of Florida," Rivers
said ,of the night all-star
game the featured players
from Tallahassee and
Gainesville as well as local
stars. "We're looking at the
small things to help them
get to the next level. Hope-
fully, they will use them."

Gadgets can improve your game


n this, my final chapter
on the 2007 PGA Mer-
chandise Show, I want to
tell you about the latest and
greatest in golf accessories.
Every year, more gadgets
come out to assist golfers.
Some help stretch our
muscles before we play.
Others are designed to
help our swings and aid us
in hitting longer, straighter
shots.
There are also some that
protect the healthy invest-
ment in equipment. Let's
look at a few of these.
Medicus weighted driver
(www.medicus.com)
This is one of the best
swing aids I picked up this
year. Weighing in at more
than 2 pounds, the driver is
designed to impart a softer
feel at impact for more
realistic feedback when
hitting balls. The driver will
help smooth your tempo
and allows you to feel where
the club is throughout your
swing.
The results are longer,
straighter drives.
Golf Gym (www.Golf-
Gym.com)
Most recreational golfers
have far too little free time to
work on their bodies.
With the Golf Gym, you
can et a personal workout
speccally designed for
your golfing needs in a
matter of minutes each day.
Developed by golf pros
and sports physiologists, the
gym uses 25 different
exercises to create proper
swing habits and muscle
memory by exercising
specific muscle groups. The
molded grips help you learn
the proper grip as well.
Dancin'Dogg shot making
simulator (www.dancln-
dogg.com)
This super sturdy simula-
tor measures all aspects of
your impact and translates
that into information that
gives you immediate
feedback on swing speed
and path, ball spin, trajecto-
ry, angle and distance.
The unit costs less than
$400 and includes indoor-
safe balls, the swing pad and
sensors, cables to hook it up
to your computer and "ll the
software you need.
Also, you can tee up
alongside TigerWoods in
the computer golf game,
using your own clubs and
actually hitting shots while
playing great courses from
around the world without
the airport headaches, all in
the comfort of your own
home.
Kart Kaddy
(www.golfkartkaddy.com)
My favorite accessory
from this year's show is the
Golf Kart Kaddy.
This product hooks
securely onto your golf bag
and then onto the back of
the golf cart. The design
places your bag at an angle
away from the cart, one
more closely resembling
what you get when you use
a pull or push cart or a stand
bag.
The design removes the
stress of over-the-head
repetitive lifting and
returning the clubs to the
bag before and after every
shot. It also makes every
pocket easily accessible.
Clean up time (www.thep-
ocketbc.com)
Dirt, grass, fertilizer and
the like, all love to stick to a
golfballU.
The Pocket BC Ball
Cleaner is a pocket-sized
golf ball cleaner that
integrates portability with
practicality. Now you can
have a clean golf ball for
every putt and every tee
shot.
The inner lining stays
moist, while the waterproof
outer lining, along with your
pocket, remains dry. The
moisture is kept locked
inside by using a strong
magnetic seal. To clean up,
apply a couple drops of
liquid soap and a gentle
scrub.


ChillTowel
For those unbearably hot
days, the new Chill Cooling
Sport Towel could be just
what you need. Based in Key
West, Chill International has
plenty of experience in
beating the heat, and has


ammilb.1


JAMES STAMMER
Golf columnist

put that to good use with
this product.
Pre-moistened with a
unique formula that cuts
heat on contact anywhere
while refreshing and
invigorating, the Chill
Cooling Towel is perfect for
summer golf. Each 12- inch
by 12-inch towel comes
individually wrapped and
hygienically sealed and fits
perfectly in your golf bag. I
toss mine into the cooler on
the cart along with ice and
my water bottles.
With the price of clubs
these days, protecting that
investment is a must.
Daphne's Headcovers
(wwwdaphnesheadcovers.c
om)
A family-run company in.
business for 25 years now,
Daphne's Headcovers is the
leader in the industry with
more than 200 designs to
choose from.
Daphne's latest line is
called "Heads and Tails."
The unique series for
drivers and fairway woods
are full-body animals that
split with the animal's head
to cover the driver, and its
tail for the fairway wood.
The company even has a
new line for hybrids and
large putters and every
cover comes with a lifetime
-warranty.
Sun Mountain is one of
the top bag and outerwear
makers in the world. The
company is constantly on
the cutting edge in terms of
technology. Its latest bag is
called the Hug Bag.
Anyone who walks knows
how difficult those long
walks on the course can be
when carrying a bag full of
dubs and golf balls. The
new system implemented
on the Hug lineup transfers
the weight of the bag from
the shoulders to the waist,
reducing upper body

Meals on Wheels is a hot


meal and whole lot more


BY WENDY DWYER
For Hometown News


Monday morning was
anything but typical for the
Meals-on-Wheels driver.
Instead of being greeted at
the door by a hungry senior
citizen,- the volunteer
instead found the man out-
* side on the ground. The
senior gentleman had fallen
outside his home on Satur-
day and, because he lives at
the end of a quiet street,
nobody came by to offer
assistance. It was all in a
day's work for the Meals-on-
Wheels volunteer these
caring individuals do much
more than simply deliver
nutritious meals.
"We're the eyes and ears of
the family, friends and loved
o ones," said Sandy Eckhardt,
e Director of the Council on
l Aging of Martin County's
Meal Services. "We do pro-
vide nutritious meals, but
we also provide a solid link
to the community for so
many seniors. We're often
the first to know when
they're in the hospital and
many times, our delivery
personnel are the ones who
notice when an individual
may be in need of addition-
al care or services."
According to Eckhardt, the
Council's Meal Services pro-
gram provides 325 meals to
homebound individuals
five days weekly, and also
operates five public dining
centers which provide a
place for individuals to
come and congregate, share
companionship and com-
munity and enjoy a nutri-
tious free meal.
Because Eckhardt and her
staff and volunteers realize
that the meal they deliver
might be the only one a sen-
ior has that day, they also
have implemented a cold
breakfast program. Every
day when the day's regular
meal is delivered, a cold
breakfast is also dropped off
so the senior will have a
nutritious breakfast the fol-
lowing morning.
On Friday, a weekend
service is available so sen-
iors can have frozen meals
or deli sandwich-style
meals delivered to enjoy
over the weekend when
there is no regular Meals-
on-Wheels delivery.
And, if that were not
thoughtful and helpful
enough, Council on Aging
of Martin County has also
partnered with the Humane
Society & Banfield PetsMart.
Seniors who receive Meals-
on-Wheels deliveries and
have a pet can also receive a
Meals-on-Wheels delivery
of pet food.
This program came about
because delivery drivers
noticed seniors were shar-
ing their Meals-on-Wheels
offering with their beloved
animals. Eckhardt says up
to 15 percent of the seniors
who receive meals also


receive pet meals, too.
It's all part of the Council's
dedication to the Meals-on-
Wheels commitment that
"no senior in our midst
should go hungry."
The programs are avail-
able to any senior age 60 or
older, and Eckhardt says
that she always welcomes
calls from seniors or their
family members who want
to find out more about the
program. She says it takes a
lot of teamwork to feed that
huge number of individuals
and, while the food is not
prepared by the Council
itself, 175 volunteers make
up the team that ensures
the deliveries and Eckhardt
says they can always use
more.
"It takes 25 volunteers
each day, and because
many of our volunteers are
seasonal, we welcome subs
and fill-ins as much as regu-
lar volunteers," she said,
Volunteers spend one to
two hours once a week
delivering meals in their
personal vehicles and for
many, It's a wonderful
opportunity to connect with
seniors and give back to
their community. Eckhardt
says there are many youth
who earn community serv-
ice hours by delivering
meals, and a growing num-
ber of home-schooled chil-
dren learning about com-
munity stewardship by
volunteering their time and
talents.
Of course it's an expensive
venture and, though the
Council is always applying
for new grants and explor-
ing funding options, dona-
tions are also gratefully
accepted from the commu-'
nity.
"It costs approximately
$102.30 per person to pro-
vide meals five days per
week," said Eckhardt, who
would love to see individu-
als from the community
donate the equivalent of a
dinner out once each
month to help ensure that
local seniors do not go hun-
gry.
Eckhardt and the Council
on Aging of Martin County
are ambassadors in a new
Leadership Fellows Pro-
gram created in coopera-
tion with Nestle Food. to
eliminate senior hunger.
The Fellows Program is
designed to help prepare
current senior and mid-
level nutrition and anti-
hunger professionals to
assume top leadership roles
in their respective organiza-
tions.
It is anticipated that the
participants in the Fellows
Program will, upon comple-
tion of the program,
become Nutrition Fellows
and the skilled leaders who
will guide or elevate nutri-
tion services and anti-
hunger organizations into
the future.

Stuart and Palm Beach Gardens Offloes


from candidates across the
country to participate in this
Leadership Fellows
Forum by the Meals on
Wheels Association of
America.
Since 2003, the Martin
County Meals-on-Wheels
program has been national-
ly certified by the Meals on
Wheels
Association, which means
the Meal Service Depart-
ment, as well as the agency,
meets a level of excellence
and maintains high stan-
dards of administration and
development of their pro-
grams.
This certification was
developed by the national
association and is adminis-
tered by individuals who
specialize in senior nutri-
tion programs.
But Eckhardt stresses that
the Meals-on-Wheels pro-
gram is truly not just about
the meals.
"A couple of weeks ago in a
gated community, our vol-
unteer was unable to get an
answer at the door of one of
our seniors. The security
staff at the gated communi-
ty was not helpful, but the
volunteer who was deliver-
ing meals was persistent
and contacted me. I started
making calls to the woman's
family and they, in turn,
contacted the gated com-
munity and its manage-
ment." Eckhardt pauses for
a moment and swallows
back emotion. "When we
finally got into the home to
check on the gentleman, we
found that he had fallen in
the bathtub that morning
and had been stuck there.
That's way more than deliv-
ering a hot meal, but it's
every bit as much our com-
mitment as delivering the
meal."
Eckhardt says that sce-
nario is not at all unusual
and that each and every day,
there is some incident or sit-
uation in which a volunteer
Meals-on-Wheels delivery
driver is a guardian angel to
an area senior citizen.
According to Eckhardt,
area hospitals often alert
the Council when an indi-
vidual they've served is
about to be discharged
from the hospital so meals
can begin to be delivered
and life can get back to nor-
mal again for the senior.
"It's all about providing
nutritious meals and nutri-
tional education to a very
important segment of our
population," said Eckhardt.
'And Meals-on-Wheels is as
much about ending isola-
tion as it is about providing
meals."
Founded in 1974, the
Council onAging is a 501 (c)
(3) organization located at
1071 S.E. 10th St. in Stuart.

Wheels, call the Council on

Local mayor is nations oldest


BY ROBIN RINKE
Staff writer


OCEAN BREEZE -At 99-
years-old, Mayor Dorothy
Geeben, now labeled
'America's Oldest Mayor,"
is a walking, talking,
music-loving firecracker of
a woman.
Mayor Geeben writes the
checks and runs the town
of Ocean Breeze as well as
someone half her age. She
has been mayor for four
years and says she loves it.
"Oh golly, said Mayor
Geeben with a chuckle, "I
love this job. It keeps me
on the go all the time."
She said she attributes
her long life and good
health to always being on
the go.
"With no time to sit
around, it keeps my blood
pumping."
Her favorite part of the
job is working with the 600
residents.
"We have a nice bunch of
people here," she said.
"Visiting people gets your
mind off of yourself."
Barbara McCormick, one
of the residents of Ocean
Breeze, said she has known
Mayor Geeben for 15 years.
"She is one of the most
precious women I know,"
said Mrs. McCormick. "She
always has a smile on her
face and a kind word for
everyone."
Mrs. McCormick attend-
ed the Mayor's 99th birth-
day party March 31, held at
the Hoke Community Cen-
ter in Ocean Breeze, which


was hosted by Ocean
Breeze, Inc., and the town
of Ocean Breeze.
"We bought her a crystal
piano because she loves to
play the organ and piano,"
Mrs. McCormick said.,
Every week the mayor
plays the piano and or
organ at the First Christian
Church of Jensen Beach.
"The smile on her face
was so cute when she
opened the gift. She really
is a great representative of
the people of Ocean
Breeze, and one of the
most Christian ladies I
know."
As more than a hundred
people came through the
open house birthday cele-
bration, Mayor Geeben sat
like a princess in her yellow
official "mayor's chair" and
greeted each one.
The mayor has grown
into a bit of a celebrity in
media circles due to the
"Oldest Mayor in America"
title to which she now lays
claim.
"I have been interviewed
by a lot of people," she
said. "I don't really remem-
ber who or what newspa-
pers or TV shows have
interviewed me anymore, I
don't keep track. It doesn't
matter, I am just having
fun."
With a contagious smile
that lights up a room, she
said her 99th birthday was
a couple of weeks worth of
celebrating.
"I have gone out for din-
ner a lot and have received
wonderful gifts," Mayor


lassified
