BY RITA HART

STUART After losing
his bid for Gayle Harrell's
state House seat for the
81st district in November
by 4,800 votes, Democrat
Bill Ramos has formerly
announced his intention
to run for the same seat
in 2008.
Rep. Harrell's (R-Stu-
art) term will end in
2008. State representa-
tives serve two-year
terms and are limited to
four terms. Rep. Harrell
has held the seat since
2000. She plans to run for
the U.S. House seat for
the 16th district, a posi-
tion currently held by
Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-
Palm Beach Gardens).
Mr. Ramos, 48, is mar-
ried and the father of five
children and two, grand-
children. He is employed
full time by Wachovia
National Bank as a
wholesale mortgage rep-
resentative.
Mr. Ramos said he was

2,300 acres of valuable
wetlands and uplands.
In a 4-1 vote county
commissioners agreed to
make changes to the
county's Comprehensive
Growth Management
Plan and enable Micha to
cluster homes on approxi-
mately 400 acres already
zoned for agricultural use.
In exchange for the


county providing water
and sewage services for
Micha's new 650-home
community, he will
donate the 2,300 acres to
be added to the Atlantic
Preserve project to the
county.
"This decision is widely
respected and unprece-
dented," said Martin
County Commissioner
Sara Heard. "No one has
ever made a contribution
of this magnitude. We've
been trying to acquire The
Atlantic Ridge property
for years. There are two

Mr. Micha bought the

already had the approval
for building 750 homes.

In the wake of the Virginia Tech
tragedy on April 16, the swift
Response of the college town's
emergency medical responders
and medical centers was credited
with saving lives that might other-
wise have been lost.
Treasure Coast medical centers
were recently contacted as to their
own preparedness for mass disas-
ters.
Martin Memorial
Medical Center
Like the other medical centers,
Martin Memorial has a mass casu-
alty plan in place that is reviewed
annually. In addition, the medical
center conducts periodic drills to
exercise and practice the plan.
Sharon Andre, Director of Safety,
Security and Emergency Prepared-
ness for Martin Memorial Health
Systems, pointed out that law
enforcement and fire rescue teams
would be the first responders in
the event of mass casualties.


"However, we do become aware
of such situations immediately
because we monitor fire rescue
and law enforcement radios," said
Ms. Andre.
"Rescue calls in every single
patient's status to the medical cen-
ter, to give us an idea of what's
coming in," she said.
Ms. Andre said that one of the
most important parts of Martin
Memorial's plan is making sure
that all internal resources are
focused on the patient care areas.
This means they would immedi-
ately begin moving staff, equip-
ment and supplies to the emer-
gency area in preparation for an
influx of patients.
"Our plans do escalate based on
the number, severity and nature of
injuries," she said.
Ms. Andre said that mass casual-
ties do not necessarily include
large numbers of victims, as seen
after the Virginia Tech shootings.
"A car wreck of five severely
injured folks could trigger a mass
casualty plan because of the need

As the killings at Virginia Tech
consumed the nation last week,
local college officials were especially
paying attention.
"If we learned anything from the
Virginia Tech situation, it's that all
our eyes should be observant and
looking for abnormal behavior and
report that to the appropriate peo-
ple," said Johnny Moore, vice presi-
dent of student affairs at Indian
River Community College in Fort
Pierce.
Rebekah Thompson is the stu-
dent union president at IRCC. While
she said Fort Pierce has always been
a safe campus, she revealed her
thoughts after watching the Virginia
Tech drama unfold was "could
something like that happen here?"
But she also said she feels her
school is as prepared as it can be.
"We have 24/7 security," she said.
"I haven't heard any student say that
they don't feel safe here, because
there's always that presence of secu-
rity."


And if any warning signs like
those shown by Virginia Tech shoot-
er Cho Seung Hui are noticed, Ms.
Thompson said students know
what to do.
"If we think something's up, we'll
go to somebody we trust, and we
know that will take care of the situa-
tion," she said.
Crimes of violence are almost
nonexistent at IRCC, said Alan
Montgomery, the college's chief
security supervisor. Theft is the
most common crime there, and he
said he's never had a report of a stu-
dent with a gun in his seven years
with the college.
But that doesn't mean the security
is lax.
There are usually 12 unarmed
security personnel on shift per day.
Among them are retired police offi-
cers and a war veteran.
"We've got highly-trained, highly
experienced people with a lot of
good backgrounds that can deal
with these populations," Mr. Mont-
gomery said.

Fourth

person

suffers

shark

attack

Latest victim is a
12-year-old boy
playing at
Waveland Beach
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
HUTCHINSON
ISLAND For the fourth
time this year, someone
out for a day of sun and
fun on a Treasure Coast
beach has been attacked
by a shark.
On Sunday, April 22,
Matthew Honyak, a 12-
year-old from Weston,
was skim boarding in the
surf of Waveland Beach
when, according to a St.
Lucie County Sheriff's
Office report, he saw the
mouth of a shark as it bit
him in the left ankle. The
report states that fire
rescue was already on
the scene when Sheriff's.
personnel arrived, treat-
ing Matthew for three
puncture wounds.
Matthew was trans-
ported to Martin Memo-
rial Medical Center, but
was later discharged.
Reached at home,
Debbie Honyak,
Matthew's mother, said
she was not present
when the attack
occurred.
"He's home and doing
great. I was thankful he
didn't lose any body
parts," said Mrs. Honyak.
Matthew's shark attack
was the fourth one to
have occurred in 2007 on
Treasure Coast beaches.
On March 11, a surfer
was attacked while in the
waters of Tiger Shores
Beach in Martin County,
resulting in deep cuts on
his forearm.
On March 31, a 9-year-
old boy suffered cuts on
his buttocks and thigh in
a shark bite incident that
also occurred on Wave-
land Beach. Within
hours, a second attack
on a 30-year-old surfer
was reported to have
occurred on Normandy
Beach on the same day.

of 2006 that he run for

because working people
don't have a voice. We
have leaders that tell us
what we want to do, but
elected officials should

ple," said Mr. Ramos.
Mr. Ramos said he ran
against Rep. Harrell, a
three-term incumbent,
and lost by 4,800 votes
last year, with approxi-
mately 56,000 people
voting.

Is reversal of water restrictions in sight?


BY MICHELLE GENTILE
For Hometown News

With all of Florida
experiencing one of the
driest periods since the
state began keeping
such records, Martin
County residents pitch in
to help ease the burden
of water restrictions.
"Some things people
can do this season is sim-
ply water less," said Jesus
Rodriguez, spokesperson
for the South Florida
Water Management Dis-
trict. "During the dry sea-
son you shouldn't need to
water but once a week for
30 minutes per zone.
What happens is people
tend to grossly over-


water their lawns, the
lawn gets conditioned
with shallow roots and it
becomes intolerant in a
drought situation. If you
condition your lawn by
watering once a week it
will develop stronger
roots and withstand the
worst of droughts."
One drop of water per
second from a leaky
faucet or fixture accounts
for up to 2,700 gallons of
wasted water per year.
Fixing those leaks and
retrofitting showers
heads and toilets with
low flow products will
save millions of gallons
per year.
"Martin Coupty is only
in a Phase 1 restriction,


which allows residents to
water three times per
week," said Mr.
Rodriguez. "This is good
compared to other coun-
ties which are experienc-
ing Phase 2 and 3 restric-
tions.
"I always encourage
people to check with
their service centers. The
Martin County Service
Center is giving away a
free rain gauge which
tells the consumer how
much rain falls on your
yard and how much you
are watering."
Odd addresses in Mar-
tin County can water
Monday, Wednesday and
Saturday and even
addresses on Tuesdays,


Thursday and Sundays
between 4 a.m. and 8
a.m.
Hand watering with an
automatic shut-off noz-
zle is permitted between
5 p.m. and 7 p.m. New
landscaping can be
watered Monday through
Friday from 2 a.m. to 8
a.m.
"We are less strict with
new landscaping because
those newly planted
items need more water to
prosper," said Mr.
Rodriguez. "However,
people better be ready
with a receipt if they try
to claim they just plant-
ed."

Ocean Breeze Park Homeowners
Association shows solidarity

Previously split into two groups intent on represent-
ing the interests of the mobile home owners in Ocean
Breeze Park in the potential purchase of the park's
land, residents have now united to form an interim
board of directors.
The Ocean Breeze Homeowners Association, which
has been registered with the state, recently met with
representatives of the owners of the 91-acre park. No
formal offer to sell the land was made at that meeting.
The owners, who are descendants of the park's
founders, Harry and Queena Hoke, have an asking-
price of $40 million for the land.
If and when a formal offer is made, the homeowners
association will have 45 days to respond to the offer.
Until recently, residents of the 55-and-older mobile
home park were split into two groups competing to
represent the residents on the land-sale issue. Mem-
bers of the competing group have now joined the
interim board of the homeowners association.

Second conviction in
Wendalyn's Jewelers theft

Steve Boyce Clark, 45, was convicted this month by a
Martin County jury, after just one hour of deliberation,
of first-degree grand theft and insurance fraud.
In October, another jury convicted Gale Wendalyn
Clark, Mr. Clark's wife, in the same theft of gems from
the couple's jewelry store, Wendalyn's Jewelers, located
in Sewall's Point. She was subsequently sentenced to
10 years in prison.
The Clarks were charged in August of 2005, after
detectives found a 1.19 carat diamond owned by Gayle
Watts of Jensen Beach in Mrs. Clark's safety deposit
box.
The diamond was one of several gems worth
,$132,000 previously reported as stolen in 2003, for
which an insurance claim was filed.
Mr. Clark, who was freed on bond pending his sen-
tencing hearing, now faces a maximum of 60 years in
prison.

Plane crashes in St. Lucie River

A pilot returning to Witham Field in Stuart upon his
return from the Sun-N-Fun Air Show in Lakeland expe-
rienced problems with the fuel pump, and made a
crash landing in the St. Lucie River just west of the
Roosevelt Bridge on April 21.

RUBIES
Everyone knows that
rubies are the highest
valued precious red
gem. One reason is that
they have gone hand in
hand with love and pas-
sion for thousands of
years.
Rubies claim this popu-
larity for many reasons.
They are extremely
durable having a ,hard-
ness of 9 on, the hard-1
ness scale (diamond is
a 10). they are ;.also
extremely rare. A superi-
or gem quality blood red
rubie often times fetch
higher prices than dia-
monds.
another interesting thing
about rubies is that they
are the same -basic
material as a sapphire.
Many people are,.not
aware that rubies come
n all the colors Of the
rainbow, in fact a sap-
phire is the same com-
position as a ruby, they
are both corundum!
Another thing nice about
ruby is that it is also
makes a fabulous gem-
stone for a man's ring.
It's color is attractive but
ruby's durability is
exceptional. The next
time you want to add a
little romance in your
life, think ruby.

"What everyone agrees
on is that this 2,300 acres
would connect two parcels
currently disconnected
from one another and
allow additional control of
water flow south," said
Clyde Dunlin, Senior Plan-
ner for the Martin County
Growth Management
Department. "It secures
county and state control
over water flow. Not only
will this benefit the com-
munity as far as water
cleanliness but it will also
allow water managers to
control the flow of water
and reduce the salinity of
the Loxahatchee River."
Dunlin said that the deal
still needs state approval
and if all goes according to
plan the land should be
conveyed sometime in
August.
Not all commissioners
came out in support of the
project. Commission
Chairman Michael DiTerl-
izzi was the lone vote
against the deal, objecting
to moving the urban serv-
ices boundary.

Former County Com-
missioner and environ-
mentalist Maggy Hurchal-
la, who has been working
on this project for more
than three years, said
moving the urban services
boundary should not have
a major impact on the
area.
"An important thing to
note is that this project is
only one mile past (U.S. 1),
where all urban services
(water and sewage)
already exist," he said.
"Clustering is already
allowed in the secondary
district. What environ-
mentalists were fighting
against is clustering out in
the rural areas where the
land is untouched. This is
not the case here."
The Atlantic Preserve
project was created to pro-
tect wildlife, and develop a
greenway and a recre-
ational corridor running

Residents and visitors
will be able to hike, bike,
ride horses, and take
advantage of pristine
lands for passive use.
"We want to provide
public access," said Com-
missioner Heard. "It's the
public's land and they
should be able to enjoy it.
Most of it is native habitat
but we should be able to
provide public access to.
some areas pretty quickly."
The project. will also
help improve water flow
from the south fork of the
St. Lucie and Loxahatchee
rivers.
With the expected 2,300-
acre addition the county
now looking at joining
with state agencies to
acquire additional lands. "
"We are going to use the
2,300 acres as leverage"
said Commissioner Heard.
"We will probably donate
the property to a state
department agency such
as the South Florida Water
Management District or
the Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection.
Then we will try to target
more land for acquisition.
"Our main goal. is to
continue to work on CERP
(the Comprehensive Ever-
glades Restoration Plan)
and clean up our waters,
which have been degraded
by development and
drainage practices. In
order to do that we need .to
buy up land and restore it
to its natural state so it
can't be developed." '
The deal may also, catch
the eye of other county
governments looking Ato
protect lands for public
uses.
"This could be a ternm-
plate for how other coun-
ties and other develop-
ment deals are
structured," said Mr.
Dulin.

Trash pits don't attract visitors

I would like-to make a comment about an article in the
paper. It was mentioning the few visitors on the Treasure
Coast. It looks like people wonder why, and what's going
on here.
The thing that I think is the problem is that this whole
place has become a trash pit.
We have nothing but illegal aliens running all over the
place, there are no jobs, gas prices are outrageous, and
taxes are high.
The area has turned into a trash pit.
Clean up your act

I want to say something to the guys and gals that throw
trash out of their car windows.
At the bus stop on Sixth Avenue there are bottles, trash,
papers, and thousands and thousands of cigarette butts
all over the place.
I would like to suggest that on Monday mornings
before going to work, they put a little grocery bag, or a
container of some kind on the floor, or passenger side of
their car, and put the things in there. At the end of the
week, dump it out in your own dumpster, or somewhere.
You wouldn't want your children to see you throwing
trash everywhere, would you?
Think about it.
It's spring, and everybody is trying to clean up. They
are trying to do nice things all over town, trying to make
the town look beautiful. Then you come along and
destroy it.
Illegal watering
Everyone says that they are concerned about the envi-
ronment, but what they say, and what they do are two
different.things.
We are under a water restriction, but residents keep
watering their yards every day. They water at the wrong


6AR7


times, or on the wrong days.
It doesn't matter if you are on city water or a well. You
don't need to irrigate more than three days a week.
It is illegal, as well as stupid.
These people know that what they are doing is wrong.
They think they are getting away with it by doing it
early in the morning, until they get caught and get fined.
Our kids

The Virginia Tech slaughter is so much in the news that
we wish something better could, take its place.
I'm impressed with the kids on campus who are not
only the apple of their parents' eye, but are fine people
who will take a productive roll in society, and make us, as
a nation, proud.
My niece graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in
chemistry about 10 years ago. She, as well as others in
college is examples of what we can be.


I'm not naive to the idea that some are there to get
away from home, and to waste mom and/or dad's
money. They will eventually find their niche.
I've worked in engineering and related fields for major
companies. I found much to appreciate in dealing with
the public.
In years of dealing with what I'll call "public relations,"
there are few problems, one-on-one, with young and old,
that couldn't be resolved to my satisfaction.
I'm not some "tolerant' nice guy who will dismiss bad
behavior. (I'm retired military.) It's the way one address-
es the problem.
I've worked condos and malls, and found stereotypes
of youth about the elderly, and the other way around.
The youth problem is mostly the result of bad parent-
ing. The elderly are too critical of kids being kids, forget-
ting about

Great news for Martin County

I just learned that the Martin County Commission
voted this morning to have staff draft a Comp Plan
Amendment that will make it possible to acquire the land
needed to complete the comprehensive Everglades
restoration plan, and the Indian River Lagoon plan by
using clustering and/or other planning tools.
I do not know the details, yet, but this is a natural
extension of the success the commission recently had in
acquiring land in the Atlantic Ridge by approving the
Micha project.
All the work and studying I have done in the past four
years with Friends of Martin County, the Committee for a
Sustainable Treasure Coast, and Sustaining Community
Lands, has led me to the conclusion that this is the only
way we will be able to get the land we need to clean up
the rivers, to re-create healthy natural systems, and to
limit growth.
If you believe as I do, please contact Commissioners
Valliere, Smith, and DiTerlizzi, and let them know they
did the right thing.
The commissioners e-mail addresses are:
umditerli@martin.fl.us
usvallier@martin.fl.us
udsmith@martin.fl.us,
It took vision and courage for them to initiate this posi-
-tive change for our future, and they really need our sup-
port immediately, to let them know how much we
appreciate their efforts, and throughout the Comp Plan
Amendment process, to make sure that the policies the
county ultimately adopts are the strongest and most
effective possible.
Please share this news with everyone you know who
cares about these issues.
I am very excited!

Get ready for hurricane season

Be ready for the next hurricane. Hurricane training is
on going with our organization, a six- month program
preparing for the event, and the next six months waiting
for it to happen.
There are more than just hurricanes in Florida to be
concerned about.
Community service can make all the difference in
learning to prepare for the worst hurricanes.
The Florida Guard is a volunteer community service
organization, with special training for disasters. It sup-
ports and assists the American Red Cross and FEMA the
community emergency response teams.
It regularly trains to provide security, and crowd and
traffic control for the following Treasure Coast events:
+ Jensen Beach Pineapple festival
Visiting Nurses Association air show
Soroptimist parade
Salvation Army toy and food distributions during the
holidays
*three Greek Festivals
Martin County fair
Puerto Rican festivals
These are just a few events that we participate in.
We also assist the handicapped, when needed at the
events.
The Florida Guard Association is statewide, but we
work regionally.
We are the guards of the Treasure Coast. Often we are
mistaken for the National Guard, because the uniforms
are woodland camouflage, no longer in military use, and


accessible in quantity.
We are independent volunteers, not responsible to the
military, or the governor.
Our group has been operating for four years, mainly in
Martin and St. Lucie counties, and look forward to
expanding to Palm Beach County.
In over three years, we have completed over 8,800
hours of community service.
We often serve as the eyes and ears for those who pro-
mote the community events, and the guidelines set by
them.
After a hurricane, we are utilized in traffic control at
food and ice distribution sites.
During the hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005, we put
in over 1,030 hours to help others.
We traveled to Punta Gorda in 2004, to help with the
recovery process; a local homeowners association gave
us a donation to cover the costs.
Florida Guard Association, Inc. is a nonprofit organiza-
tion.
Donations are tax deductible.
We are citizens volunteering to make a difference in
our corner of the world, in the State of Florida, and in our
community.
We are always looking for volunteers, as our communi-
ty obligations continue to grow.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome, come join the train-
ing sessions, enjoy the camaraderie of our friendly group,
and be ready to serve the community tomorrow.
The guard meets the second Tuesday of each month, at
7 p.m., in American Legion Post 318, located at 8453
Southwest U.S. 1, in Port St. Lucie.
For information, call (772) 489-8609, or 336-8624, or

From page A6
their youth.
In conclusion, we have an overwhelming number of
fine young people to keep our country moving forward. It
doesn't matter if they're an associate in a department
store, going to college, working a trade, or are those fine
men and women in our 11 -. j,
We will survive with (God help.
Is it just Florida?
Is Florida the only state that the insurance companies
are ripping off?
Are they doing it in California, home of the earth-
quakes, mudslides, forest fires, and riots? Are they doing
it in tornado alley states, Mississippi flood areas, or New
Orleans? How about the snow blizzard areas, Buffalo, or
Rochester, N.Y.?
Have we all become complacent? Have our elected
officials at all levels, sold us out again?
Remember when an insurance company finds a way to
cancel a policy, they have just sold you a piece of paper
for thousands of dollars.
In most instances all that piece of paper wound up giv-
ing you was the right to sue them anyway.
Eliminate the IRS.
The. federal income system is a complete failure, with
fraud, loopholes, and wealthy people not paying their
fair share of taxes.
I believe that this can be fixed very easily.
Eliminate the filing of income taxes, eliminate the IRS
altogether, eliminate tax refunds from the government,
eliminate income tax preparers, and have with no dead-
line, like April 15.
In its place, have a 6 or 7 percent federal sales tax,
whereby the money would go, the same as does the state
sales tax, directly into the treasury coffers.
There would be nc formal to fill out about profits you
make on stocks, or anything.
If states like Florida, and others who have no income
tax, can get by on sales tax money alone, the why can't
the Federal government get by on it?
Service is shameful
I am calling to second the rant that says service should
match the postage rate increase.
I can remember when the mailman office would walk
the neighborhood delivering the mail.
I have has a contractor truck in front of my house all
week, and the little post office truck drives right by
because they won't stop, and take three steps to put the
mail in the mailbox. They just let me not get my mail all
week because there is a truck in front of my house.
It's a shame that they won't stop, and take two or three
steps to put mail in the box to be sure that you get the
mail.
They will just keep a person from getting mail all week


just so they don't have to take a couple of steps.
It's a crying shame.
Help for the veterans
May is mom and apple pie month. It is also the month
we honor our veterans.
There is a goodly amount of talk about our military
these days. It is evident the combat in Iraq is unpopular.
Most evident is the empathy for our military, who suffer
the consequences of said combat.
The empathy, and some outrage, extends beyond the
borders of Iraq, for we know the entire body of our mili-
tary suffers by association.
Every day we learn about shoddy work involving out-
sourced, overpaid, services that mostly involve good
buddy contracts.
We are speaking out, while urging congress to empty
this can of worms.
Progress being made, in the endeavor, can be com-
pared to that made in Iraq. After all, we are dealing with
the same Commander in Chief.
In the meantime, in between time, since Valley Forge,
veterans have been helping veterans. Veterans Affaires
dot Gov. is as overwhelmed as a grinding bureaucracy
can get.
Veterans, with an honorable discharge, of any branch,
are welcome to join one of the many organizations made
up of veterans, for the veterans, by the veterans.
I am a member of Fort Pierce, Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post 10554, and we, like the others, offer our hand in
sacred trust, our stewardship, and funds available.
We know the problems you encounter after service,
and how often one can be caught in a bottleneck of
stonewalling. Join us, let us help, as you help your broth-
ers, shoot down red tape.
It has been said in Florida, "Sometimes you eat the
gator, and some times the gator eats you!"

Senior years may not be so golden
Homeowners with escalating insurance costs think
they have it bad?
Just try being on Social Security, Medicare and maybe
some sort of managed-care health plan.
Medicare, being federal, has guidelines (that) are con-
sistent throughout the United States.
However, the huge variety of managed care plans
aren't.
Costs and cost-cutting measures are on the rise, with
benefits (on the) decline.
And you can bet that top management isn't taking any
compensation or pay cuts to help relieve the problem.
Get ready for those not-so-golden years
Use entire Bible passages to support beliefs
Christians seem to be of the conviction that you can
pick and choose what you will from the Bible to support
your beliefs.
A case in point is "Jesus would never condone abor-
tion" in the April 4 Rants & Raves.


The author quotes Matthew 5:17 and then explains
that "this means he (Jesus) came to fulfill the Ten Com-
mandments including 'Thou shall not kill' and (Proverbs
6:16) 'Hands that shed innocent blood are an abomina-
tion to him.' This is followed by Jesus said, 'Whoever
therefore breaks one of the least of these command-
ments...' (Matthew 5:19)."
Now if you take a look at the passages in question
you'll discover that Jesus is not referring to the Ten
Commandments specifically, but to the overall law as
presented by the prophets in the Old Testament.
Let us assume that the argument is valid and that the
law of the Old Testament still applies.
How does the Old Testament advise us on the treat-
ment of children?
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If a man has a stubborn
and rebellious son who does not obey his father and
mother, and will not listen to them when they disci-
pline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him
and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town ...
then all the men of his town shall stone him to death."
Now either we have the best behaved children on the
planet living here, or we're no longer following the
commandments of the prophets, or maybe I just
missed an invite to the latest stoning.
So let's either take it or let's leave it, but please stop
picking out the parts that suit you and ignoring the
rest.
Makes one wonder if you have ever really read the
Bible in its entirety.
The Orange and green Irish
I'm calling about the March 23 Grammy Guru col-
umn.
She was talking about St. Patrick's Day and about not
wearing orange.
My family was from Belfast, Ireland and they were
known as the "orange Irish." That meant they were
protestant..
The "green Irish" are Catholics. That is what I was
always taught and I'm 88 years old.
St. Patrick's Day was always a solemn day in Ireland.
They didn't raise "old Ned" like they do here the U.S. of
A.
I just wanted Grammy Guru to know that orange
means you're protestant and green means -you're
Catholic.
Winning isn't everything
I think we need an investigation (into) why (U.S. Rep.
Nancy) Pelosi and (U.S. Sen. Henry) Reid can't keep
gasoline prices lower.
They were going to investigate the Republicans about
(that) eight months ago.
What a waste of taxpayers' money and fuel for Pelosi
to travel to Syria.
She didn't get anything. She only weakened our posi-
tion in the world.
The Democrats barely won the election, so I wish
they would stop talking about what the U.S. voter has
spoken. Their win certainly wasn't a mandate.

"Our patients never see
a bill, because it is 100
percent covered by
Medicare."
With no bills to worry
about, patients relax and
recover in their familiar
surroundings.
And, Medicare is all for
home health care
because it prevents
patients from using a
nursing home to recover,
which is more costly.

New pension rules that will


benefit 401(k) beneficiaries


Family Owned &
Operated


A s you are probably
aware, the tradition-
l pension plan has
not fared so well in recent
years. In fact, many large
companies have frozen or
discontinued their plans.
Congress passed laws
last year to strengthen
pensions, but some other
provisions of this legisla-
tion may interest you even
if you don't have a pension
- especially if you may be
coming into an inheri-
tance that includes a
401(k).
And a 401(k) can be a
sizable bequest. By the
time many people retire,
their 401(k) or other
employer-sponsored
retirement plan, such as a
403(b) or 457(b), may be
their biggest single finan-
cial asset. Even if they died
before depleting the funds
in their 401(k) or other
plan, they might still have
a large chunk of money to
pass on; It's never been
much of a problem to
leave this money to a
spouse who could roll the
funds into an IRA. Once
the money was in this IRA,
the surviving spouse could
enjoy the benefits of tax-
deferred growth.
However, non-spouse
beneficiaries, such as
children, siblings and
domestic partners, did not
have this luxury. When
these beneficiaries inherit-
ed a 401(k) or other
retirement plan, they were
generally forced to take
the entire balance within
five years of the account
owner's death, and some
plans require them to take
the payout as a lump sum


Police
From page A5


JAMIE CHAPOGAS
Financial Columnist
within one year.
These accelerated
payments were likely to
create what is euphemisti-
cally called a "taxable
event." In plain English,
this means that if you were
a non-spouse beneficiary,
you were likely to take a
big tax hit after you
inherited the 401(k) or
other retirement plan.
Now, however, things
have changed, thanks to
the new pension laws.
Effective Jan. 1 of this year,
if you are a non-spouse
beneficiary, you can
transfer an inherited
401(k) or other retirement
plan into an IRA. And that
means you can "stretch
out" distributions and
taxes over a period of a few
years. By stretching this
inherited account, you can
continue to enjoy tax-
deferred growth, which
can create a significantly
greater amount of income
over your lifetime.
Clearly, this can be a
huge advantage to you.
But you need to make sure
you are following the


'i~i~9


p


correct procedure. In
"legalese," you have to
make what is known as a
trustee-to-trustee transfer
by establishing an "inher-
ited" IRA and have the
check from the 401(k) or
other plan made payable
to the trustee or custodian
of this IRA. Once, this
account is established,
you can't contribute
anything more to it or roll
the money into any other
IRA you might have.
Your financial adviser
can help you set up the
inherited IRA and invest
the distributions from the
401 (k) or other plan to
help you meet your
financial goals in a way
that is appropriate for
your individual risk
tolerance. You may also
want to consult with your
tax adviser before transfer-
ring funds from the
retirement plan to the IRA.
In any case, once you
learn that you are going to
inherit a 401(k) or other
retirement plan, start
doing your homework
right away. If managed
correctly, this type of
inheritance can make a
big difference in your life,
so make the most of your
opportunity.

Edward ones in Martin
County, at (772) 463-7189.

Schools
From page Al
In addition to school secu-
rity, IRCC keeps in close con-
tact with local law enforce-
ment, Mr. Moore noted.
Local police even train on
the campus.
"They're very familiar with
the layout of the campus -
entrances, exits ...," he said.


"In an incident, first and
foremost, they will be called
in."
IRCC students have easy
access to making calls of
their own in an emergency.
There are five "code blue"
phones on the campus.
When the phones are picked
up, a call goes directly to a
school security officer, and a
blue light on top of the
device illuminates, alerting


everyone in the area that
there's a problem.
If there were a problem,
IRCC's staff would be
informed in a periodic safety
and security e-mail update.
The roughly 200 resident
students are also kept
informed of issues via an ori-
entation at the start of each
school year.
There are no student
dorms on the Florida
Atlantic University campus
in Port St. Lucie, but meas-


ures and security there are
similar to IRCC's.
FAU has 40 sworn officers
spread across its six cam-
puses from Boca Raton to
Port St. Lucie, and they can
be dispatched to any cam-
pus when needed, said Keith
Totten, deputy chief of Flori-
da Atlantic University Police.
Two of those 40 officers are
dedicated full-time to the
Treasure Coast campus in St.
LucieWest.
If there was an incident


at FAU, Deputy Chief Tot-
ten said the priority of the
officers is to get people out
of harms way. FAU officers
participate in active shoot-
er training, which teaches
them how to remove inno-
cent people from a situa-
tion where an armed sus-
pect is involved.
Like IRCC, FAU also has
good ties with local police,
who would be called in if
an incident so warranted.
"We work with local law


enforcement, because we
are one community when
something happens,"
Deputy Chief Totten said.
FAU also has surveillance
cameras throughout its
Port St. Lucie campus.
"We can watch any-
where, and if anyone suspi-
cious comes in, we'll
know," Deputy Chief Totten
said.

for equipment, supplies and
staff. We've built flexibility in
our plan to accommodate
those types of situations,"
said Ms. Andre.
Stressing the importance
of communication in the
first critical minutes after a
casualty occurs, Ms. Andres
said, "We have a terrific part-
nership with Martin County
Fire Rescue and the city of
Stuart Fire Rescue."
St Lucie
Medical Center
"St. Lucie Medical Center
does have a plan in place to
handle many types of disas-
ters and the injuries that
may result," said Synetta
Armstrong, spokeswoman
for St. Lucie Medical Center.


"We routinely conduct
disaster drills followed by a
thorough debrief to discuss
what went well
and what may need
improvement," she said.
Ms. Armstrong said the
medical center dealt with an
emergency in January that
tested their ability to handle
a mass disaster.
"We received a call saying
that there was. a potential
hazardous material expo-
sure to St. Anastasia stu-
dents and staff and that EMS
would bring us several
patients," said Ms. Arm-
strong.
"We did an assessment
and notified them that we
could safely take up to 15
patients. By the end of the
day SLMC received a total of


12 patients and one faculty
member. We worked closely
with our sister hospital
Lawnwood Regional Med-
ical Center to exchange
information about which
patients were at each of our
hospitals and their condi-
tions. Our outpatient lobby
was used as the receiving
area for family and media.
Several staff members
remained accessible to keep
family informed," she said.
Ms. Armstrong said SLMC
was, in retrospect, happy
with the handling of the situ-
ation.
'After our debrief, we felt
this actual emergency was a
great test of our capabilities
and that we ,achieved very
positive outcomes from
everyone," she said.


Don't Forget the Poppy
I have been asked by the American Legion
Auxiliary Post 126 to inform you of the importance
of the poppy flower.
From the battlefields of World War I, our soldiers
brought home the bright red flower. These little
flowers were as red as the blood soaked soil they
fought on. However, it helped them remember the
spirit of our fallen comrades.
"In Flanders Fields" where American soldiers
would rest forever. A poem that was written by Col.
John McCrae speaks of the poppies gently blowing
in the wind through the rows and rows of white
crosses that mark the dead. The poppy became the
symbol of the sacrifice of lives in war. Our poppies
have continued to bloom for the casualties of four
wars.
The poppy as a memorial flower was a campaign
started by Miss Moina ,Michael, who had asked
Everyone to wear the little paper flower as a tribute
to the fallen. As this patriotic tribute started to
catch on, contributions were being left to cover the
cost of making them. Contributions were collected
by volunteers and used for the benefit of disabled
veterans. Poppies will never be sold; however,
any donation that can be given would greatly bene-
fit our troops. So please, when you see one of our
Auxiliary members with the poppies, take a flower
and donate what you can. April 27th and 28th are
"Poppy Days". You'll see our Auxiliary members at
various retail locations.
The poppy is the national flower of the American
Legion. The poppy stands for our troops, the ones
who fought for and are fighting for our country. The
troops who sacrificed their lives; the men and
women who served and died for their country
deserve to be remembered, as well as the troops
fighting now deserve not to be forgotten. To some
people who think these little flowers are just red
paper bound with a tiny green wire need to be aware
of the importance of the poppy. Somebody's father,
mother, brother, sister, husband or wife; someone's
child sacrificed themselves for our freedom. They
stand for the love of our comrades both living and
past. So if you see someone handing out poppies,
please donate to our Auxiliary. And remember, every
poppy is handmade by a veteran.
Denise Pierandozzi i


Lawnwood
Medical Center
Lawnwood Regional Med-
ical Center & Heart Institute
has shown over the past few
years that it can handle an
incident involving mass
injuries.
One of the biggest tests
came during Hurricane
Frances in 2004.
'"After the storm, there was
a huge influx of casualties,"
said Beth Williams, hospital
spokeswoman.
At one point, there were
1,400 people in the building,
to include patients, family
members and staff. There
were even 160 pets inside.
While hospitals usually
have time to ready for the
onslaught of a hurricane, the
situation is somewhat differ-
ent when something unex-
pected occurs.
In a mass casualty inci-
dent, first responders assess
what's going on, then notify
area hospitals with informa-
tion on how many victims
the facilities could be receiv-
ing. Each hospital keeps in
communication with the
ambulance dispatchers to
determine how many vic-
tims will be sent to each
facility so the hospitals don't
become overburdened.
From there, Lawnwood
activates its "code green."

12 terms you must know when in Canada


he staff in our office
is international in
nature, with one of
our agents from the
lovely Quebec City in
Canada.
So, we thought it would
be appropriate to write
something special on our
neighbors from the
north.
Read on. You might
learn something that will
make your vacation north
of the border a pleasura-
ble experience especially
when you interact with
the locals.

Canadians speak the
same language,
right?

Well, not quite and if
you want to make the
most of your vacation in
the beautiful and rugged
north, you probably want
to brush up on a few local
terms to feel right at
home. Of course, you will
see labels and signs
throughout Canada in
both French and English.
Through extensive
travel by those who do
lots of it, it has been
determined that some
Canadian words just
don't translate into
American English, and
vice versa.
Here is a handy glos-
sary of 12 terms you need
to know when you do get
to visit Canada.
Loonies and Toonies:
These cutesy words are
weightier than they
sound.
They mean money.
Loonies are gold
colored $1 coins. The
term comes from the
loon, which is Canada's
national bird and the
image on the front of the
coin.
Toonies: Toonies are
the Loonies' $2 cousin.
Tuque: This is the
quintessential winter
accessory in Canada. We
hear that these winter
hats are called ski hats or
beanies elsewhere. But

Week
From page A3

Pilot Carter Smith, 61, of
Palm City, was able to free
himself from the aircraft,
an Express 2000 that was
built in 2006, and swam
ashore. He was transport-
ed to Martin Memorial but
did not suffer critical
injuries in the crash.

Canadians will keep their
toques, thank you very
much.
* Tim Hortons: Cana-
da's favorite coffee and
doughnut shop. These
shops are located
throughout the country.
Their wares, often
referred to as "Timmies,"
are a staple in the Cana-
dian diet.
* Double-double:
Often heard at Tim,
Horton's, this is the way
the pros order a coffee
with two creams and two
sugars.
* Pop: The common
word for a soft drink,
derived from "soda pop."
Up there, soda is the fizzy
water that's good for
getting pop stains out of
clothes.
Washroom: A syn-
onym for bathroom,
restroom or toilet. Don't
waste precious time
looking for the bathroom
when all signs point to
the washroom.
Poutine: With all the
multi-cultural foods
peppering Canada, be
sure to try this home-

The Canadians will love
you for it to see that you
made an effort to learn
bits and pieces of their
culture before traveling
and will welcome you

get there.

experience.

grown favorite. This dish
of French fries, cheese
curds and gravy originat-
ed in Quebec and has
won fans across the
country. Trust me, it
tastes better than it
sounds.
* Canuck: This is a
term of endearment for
"Canadian" as in the
NHL's Vancouver
Canucks, who can be
seen on "Hockey Night in
Canada," a must see TV
event for hockey lovers
(meaning most of Cana-
da).
Ask any Canadian to
hum the theme song, it's
a catchy one.
Runners: These are
casual sports shoes,
otherwise called sneakers
or tennis shoes. Runners
can join "sneakers" on my
unofficial list of oddly
named items.
Click/kilometer:
Kilometer is such a
cumbersome word for
measuring distance. The
slang "click" is a much
faster way to share how
many kilometers you've
traveled on your Canadi-
an vacation.
Bill: Although you
may run into a few
friendly Canucks named
Bill, chances are you'll
meet bill more often. In
Canada, a bill is what you
pay at a restaurant.
So, next time you're in
Canada, counting your
loonies and toonies while
enjoying your double-
double after walking 10
clicks in runners and
thinking about asking for
the bill, you'll feel right at

Water
From page A3


According to Jeffery
Sach of the United
Naton's Millennium Pro-
ject there are no more
rivers to take water from
and aquifers are in need
of being recharged. This
hits home in Florida due
to the fact that Lake Okee-
chobee, which covers 730
square miles is approxi-
mately five feet below its
historical average.
"We are within a foot of
the all-time low for Lake
Okeechobee," said Mr.
Rodriguez. "The all-time
low was recorded May 21,
2001 at 8.97 feet we are
now at 9.86."
Specialized agencies
such as the SFWMD and
the Emergency Mariage-
ment and Governor Char-
lie Crist are combining
forces to discuss possi-


ble solutions to the
water shortage.
Governor Crist and
Craig Fugate, Director of
the Florida Division of
Emergency Management
met with the SFWMD
Governing Board recent-
ly.
"We're working very
closely with all the local
governments and all the
local utilities to get the
word out. The governor
came down from Talla-
hassee to listen to the
concerns of our county,"
said Linette Trabulsy,
SFWMD spokeswoman
for Martin and St. Lucie
counties.
Rainfall in 2006 and
2007 has been far below
normal so when resi-
dents will see a lifting of
these restrictions


depends directly on the
increase of ground water
and rain.
"We're operating on
such a rainfall deficit
that the only thing that
will get us out of this is
above season rainfall
which usually doesn't
happen until June. The
result of that won't be
seen until at least July or
August," said Mrs. Tra-
bulsy. "Our other con-
cern is if don't see an
average rainfall this sea-
son we can expect an
extended drought next
year too."

questions regarding the
water restrictions visit

Hospitals
From page A10
ing the emergency room
during mass casualties," said
Jeff Birdsong, Lawnwood's
director of engineering and
head of disaster readiness.
"When that code green is
announced, it's all about ral-
lying to the ER and helping
them be able to handle
whatever comes their way."
When the code green
announcement is made
overhead, staff in every
department in the hospital
have things they're sup-
posed to do, he said.
For example, nursing
units would send people to
the ER; depending on the
situation, pharmacists may
go to the ER to assure the
proper medications are
readily available; environ-
mental services will check
linen needs; other depart-
ments may send staff to a
labor pool area in case
they're needed for other
duties.
While all this is going on,
Lawnwood activates a disas-
ter receiving area at the
ambulance entrance point,
where patients would be
immediately seen by a triage
nurse and prioritized.
Further, case managers
and the -patient care team
work out bed count issues. If
a patient is ready to be dis-
charged, they try to speed
up the process to make
room for the incoming vic-
tims.
Doctors and other staff
not on duty are notified of
the situation and may be
asked to respond. In severe
situations, Lawnwood asks
for help from doctors and
nurses from'sister hospitals.
"If you had a large number
of gunshot victims, you
would call all the surgeons
you could get," Mrs.
Williams said.
The last code green
declared at Lawnwood came
in January, when 30 St. Anas-
tasia Catholic School stu-
dents mysteriously fell ill
during morning church


services. Half of the ill were
sent to Lawnwood with
symptoms of nausea, dizzi-
ness and stomachaches.
They were all treated and
released within hours.
Martin Memorial
Medical Center
Like the other medical
centers, Martin Memorial
has a mass casualty plan in
place that is reviewed annu-
ally. In addition, the medical
center conducts periodic
drills to exercise and prac-
tice the plan.
Sharon Andre, Director of
Safety, Security and Emer-
gency Preparedness for Mar-
tin Memorial Health Sys-
tems, pointed out that law
enforcement and fire rescue
teams would be the first
responders in the event of
mass casualties.
"However, we do become
aware of such situations
immediately because we
monitor fire rescue and law
enforcement radios," said
Ms. Andre.
"Rescue calls in every sin-
gle patient's status to the
medical center, to give us an
idea of what's coming in,"
she said.
Ms. Andre said that one of
.the most important parts of
Martin Memorial's plan is
making sure that all internal
resources are focused on the
patient care areas. This
means they would immedi-
ately begin moving staff,
equipment and supplies to
the emergency area in
preparation for an influx of
patients.
"Our plans do escalate
based on the number, sever-
ity and nature of injuries,"
she said.
Ms. Andre said that mass
casualties do not necessarily
include large numbers of
victims, as seen after the Vir-
ginia Tech shootings.
"A car wreck of five severe-
ly injured folks could trigger
a mass casualty plan
because of the need for
equipment, supplies and
staff. We've built flexibility in
our plan to accommodate
those types of situations,"

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


EMPLOYMENT
If our culture
sounds like one
that fits with you
Ideas on the way
business should
be conducted,
please call us.
561*844*346
We need to add
to our team in al
departments...
sales, service,
parts, body shop
and accounting.


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

I'


said Ms. Andre.
Stressing the importance
of communication in the
first critical minutes after a
casualty occurs, Ms. Andres
said, "We have a terrific part-
nership with Martin County
Fire Rescue and the city of
Stuart Fire Rescue."
Indian River
Medical Center
Cliff Schroeder, director of
facility services at Indian
River Medical Center in Vero
Beach, said the hospital
updates its mass-casualty
plans at least once a year,
but he said IRMC's emer-
gency preparedness team is
"continuously" working on
revising and improving the
document. The April 16 Vir-
ginia Tech shooting did not
prompt a review of the hos-
pital's plans, Mr. Schroeder
said.
The Indian River County
Emergency Operations Cen-
ter would coordinate the
response if a similar tragedy
occurred locally, Mr.
Schroeder said. County
emergency managers would
direct ambulances carrying
the wounded to medical
facilities throughout the
county.
"If you have 20 or 30 casu-
alties, it will overrun any one
medical facility," Mr.
Schroeder said.
Hospital administrators
and staff members practice
parts of the response plan
throughout the year. IRMC
trains for scenarios ranging
from massive traffic acci-
dents to chemical spills.
"We've got a plan for just
about anything that can
happen," he said.
Sebastian River
Medical Center
Sebastian River Medical
Center, like its counterparts
on the Treasure Coast,
reviews its emergency plans
on a regular basis.
"We have an emergency
preparedness plan. It is
reviewed and practiced
annually," said Ed Dolan,
director of engineering and


Now, here is the good news. After eliminat-
ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop
by about the amount of the dealer fee, but
my customers realized I was now giving them
a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the-
door price with no "surprises". And the word
spread. My volume of car sales began to rise
rapidly. Sure, I was making a few hundred
dollars less per car, but I was selling a lot
more cars. I was and am selling cars to many
of your former customers. My bottom line
has improved, not because I eliminated the
dealer fee, but because I was
tormiers' able to earn the trust of more
customers In buying their new
ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.
tion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
alton are I think of myself as the new
"sheriff' that has come to
er today." "clean up South Florida". In
fact, I am well aware that this
letter is, to some extent, self-
serving. Many people will read this letter and
learn why they should buy a car from me,
and not you. And, I am also aware that most
dealers who read this will either get angry and
ignore it or not have the courage to follow my
lead. But maybe you will be the exception. If
you have any interest in following my lead,
call me anytime. I don't have a secretary and
I don't screen any of my phone calls. I would
love to chat with you about this.

"It is a fluid plan designed
for any emergency situa-
tion,"
"We work with Life Star in

Medical Center in Mel-
bourne because we are not a

try to become a trauma cen-
ter. Not every victim is a

Mr. Dolan said he does not
believe the Virginia Tech
shootings will prompt a
change in their disaster pre-
paredness plans.
"If there is a sign of influx
the EMS radio system will be

Children's favorite

Junie B. Jones comes

to life at the Lyric


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Junie B. Jones is a first-
grader with spunk. Sever-
al of the popular books
about her adventures,
written by Barbara Park,
have been turned into a
musical by Theatrework-
sUSA that will delight kids
and their parents at the
Lyric Theatre on April 29.
In a telephone inter-
view, Katharine Donohue,
who plays Junie B. Jones,
spoke about the fun she
has playing a little girl
with big ideas.
"I'm a little bit older
than 6," says the Boston
Conservatory graduate. "
The challenge is being as
animated as a 6-year-old
but keeping it honest and
not over the top. As a
musical theater actress,
I'm a playful kind of per-
son, and I study kids. I
was a professional nanny
and I find myself channel-


ing kids I've known."
When the casting call
went out for the role, Ms.
Donahue knew she had to
try out for it.
"I had seen the play off-
Broadway and the role
was the best children's
theater part I've ever seen.
It's so much fun dressing
like a 6-year-old. I get to
wear overalls that feel like
pajamas! Junie B. Jones is
a very curious, passionate
character. The show is in
three stories, all about her
growth and learning. It's
so much fun. She's so ani-
mated and joyful and
curious and she loves to
discover. I think it's won-
derful there's a girl char-
acter, but there are boys
who are completely into
her stories. Both girls and.
boys will love the show,
even if they haven't' read
the books."

Week of 04-27-07

Aries-March 21-April 19
You are at your very best when you find ways to set divine-
ly inspired ideas into forward motion and create exciting
new realities. For this to happen you have to be focused
and aiming at a cause that has high heart value for your-
self and others. Don't worry about the outcome. Set the
positive cause in motion that has a divine inspirational
blessing on it and the end result will be much more than
you dreamed in the first place. This'is a rich way to live.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Recognize each day that the universe is your source and give
thanks. Continue to find ways to intensify your energy into
healthy thought forms and ideas that reflect the use of your
natural gifts and talents, Then move projects forward one step
at a time until you see them growing and becoming strong
and fruitful. Continue to replenish your health, mind and spirit


by taking action on activities that you love and you will always
flourish. It's your true nature.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Don't fret over recent struggles. This is just life's ebb and flow.
The secret is to go stronger when the energy is flowing and
hold back a little when it is ebbing. This keeps your timing
sharp and maximizes the use of your gifts, energy and time.
When you feel stressed or burned out it is because of neglect-
ing this underlying principle of a healthy Gemini lifestyle.
Venus, the heart, is in Gemini this week. Let it work for you
and all will be well.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Measure the quality of your life by the joy you feel in your
heart You were born to be of service to family and others. You
are at your best when you are able to help someone searching
find the answer to their challenge. Everyone gains strength
from your light and presence. It keeps your family bonds
strong. It gives you personal power in the workplace. You are a
well-loved and trusted friend. Be open to receiving back and
great will be your rewards.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
It takes courage to make changes. You are a master at doing it.
Your strong sense of justice always guides you. You literally
have the heart of a Lion. You don't ask of others what you
aren't willing to do yourself. You are one of the strongest
visionaries in the zodiac. Your built in radar gives signs about


what needs to be done in advance. Then you go about creat-
ing your visions in an orderly manner. You are an inspiration to
everyone.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept 22
One of your greatest gifts is endurance. The moon in Virgo this
week gives you a second wind just when you need it. You
have the inner and outer strength to hang in there and see
your projects to completion. You are well respected for this
amazing ability. You see the endless possibilities in life and
make them look so easy. This ability to touch others and give
them hope is such a needed quality. Yours is a blessed life.

Libra-Sept 23-Oct.22
The next few months will continue to show positive signs that
your new ideas are taking root and beginning to grow. Be
patient and read the signs. Life is about to get lively. When you
are fired up, it makes others around you want to increase their
passion. This is a win-win situation for everyone. You don't
have to hit a home run every time, but you have to finish what
you start. Life's richest blessings are on the way.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Wait for the light bulb to turn on in your heart that give you
clear focus and vision of what it is you truly want before
taking action. Make a written plan. This helps turn the
idea into physical reality. Trust your instincts and inner

important to her, as well.
"The music is absolutely
awesome," she says. "It's
upbeat and fast-paced. It's

I hope they have as good a

Bank offers $1,000 scholarships


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Riverside Bank will pro-
vide four $1,000 scholar-
ships to local students on
July 15.
The program, started
four years ago by River-
side Bank, is designed to
grant funds annually to
assist individuals in the
hometowns that the bank
serves.
This year's program will
offer 18 scholarships
worth $18,000 through-
out the 10 Florida coun-
ties in Riverside's service
area.
Community members
are encouraged to submit
applications online at
Riverside Bank's Web site,


www.riversidenb.com, on
behalf of friends and
family who are high
school seniors or under-
graduate college stu-
dents.
Applications must be
submitted on or before
midnight June 1.
"We are very proud of
this program," said Tim
Busby, regional president
of Riverside Bank, in a
press release. "We feel
there is nothing more
important than helping
the citizens of the home-
towns we serve. One way
we can lend a hand is by
providing financial assis-
tance to talented stu-
dents."
Recipients will be
selected based on their


academic goals and com-
munity service. Chances
of receiving a scholarship
will depend on the num-
ber of eligible entries
received.
The student must be a
high school senior or
undergraduate college
student currently attend-
ing a school in the United
States and accepted to an
accredited post-second-
ary educational institu-
tion in the Unites States
for the academic year
2007-2008.
In addition, the student
must be a legal resident
of Martin or St. Lucie
county. Winners do not
need to be Riverside Bank
customers, and no pur-.
chase or loan is required.

vision. It lives strongly in
you. This is how to create
new causes that create a
happy life. Have an idea,
make a plan and take
action. This is a winning
formula that can bring you
all your greatest desires.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Rise up from any earthly
restrictions and continue
to transform yourself into
the free spirited beautiful
creative soul that you truly
are. Let go of any restric-
tive bonds of the past,
open up your heart and
soar like an eagle. It's in
you to do this and a lot
more. Refuse to accept
mediocrity. You are so
close to your purpose and
passion. Get a second
wind, keep your eye on the
target and go all out to
make it happen.
Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Choose to live in peace
and harmony with a deep
sense of purpose and
appreciation for life in all
its forms. This attracts
other things in life that add
even more good. This is a
simple workable plan.
Refuse to let the world or
negative attitudes pull you
away from this ideal. This
attitude of positive


expectancy then rubs off
on others, and causes them
to create better results.
This wonderful way of life
keeps you on the cutting
edge. Are you ready for
more? It's on the way.

Aquarius-Jan 20-Feb. 18
You know what you truly
want in life and you know
how to get it. You have
answered two of life's
most important questions.
The universe is eager to
help you create and fulfill
your wishes from the
unlimited storehouse of
spirit. As you achieve this
victory over life, take care
of your own and family
needs first. Save for your
future safety. Then give
back to others with a need.
You now have in your pos-
session the key to the vault
of happiness.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
You continue to work the
divine plan living in your
soul since birth. Your heart
is as large and deep as the
universe itself. You are
deeply inspired. Sometimes
it even amazes you where
this strength comes from. It
is a gift from the universal
spirit. When you use it, it
keeps you on course. Your
priorities are to give back to

Although you will be
reading this column on
April 27,1 I am writing it just
after Easter. As I sit here
thinking about all the
traditional high-fat, high-

"How come people from
the Mediterranean region
have one of the lowest
incidence of heart disease

The answer is, these'are
special foods served only
on whatever special
holiday is being celebrat-
ed, and the rest of the year
huge amounts of vegeta-
bles are eaten with a small
amount of meat.
Butter is never used.
Olive oil takes its place.
Then I came up with
another question: since

have to eat right at other
times.
Once, when I was a
teenager, I objected to
visiting Uncle Joe on his
name day (he was named
after Jesus' father, Joseph),
which I thought was so
dumb. My comment didn't
go over too well when I
declared, "I don't want to
go. This family is ridicu-
lous. They will even
celebrate a hang-nail!"
When mom was young,
dinner was always started
with a "first dish." You
weren't served a small
serving of a vegetable with
the meat, you had a bowl
of vegetables, usually in a
broth, laced with a little
olive oil and garlic.
Soups of all description
were served and the
quantity of vegetables
eaten would make the
American Heart Associa-
tion smile.
It has been proven that if
you have a cup of soup
before dinner it will take
the edge off your hunger
and you will eat less,
thereby lowering your
caloric intake.
Years ago of course,
soups were homemade.
Today, there isn't always
time for that. Canned
soups are delicious and
many contain less than
100 calories a serving.
However, you should buy
soups that are lower in
sodium and fat. Every
brand makes them now.
For creamed soups, use
skim milk, evaporated
skim milk or, if you're
lactose intolerant, soy
milk.
Last week, I gave you
recipes for roast pork.
Remember, if you want
pork chops buy a roast and
ask the butcher to cut it
into chops.
What are your favorite


ways to prepare pork
chops?
Frying? Not when you're
trying to eat low-fat,
Grilling or "Shake and
Bake?" Everyone loves
breaded pork chops, but
now you're spending
almost $2 extra. "Shake
and Bake" original has no
fat or cholesterol, but it's
loaded with salt.
Many years ago I found
a recipe for "Skinny Shake"
and I will share it with you.
Use a cookie sheet with
sides and set cake cooling
racks on the sheet so all
remaining fat you can't
reach will drip away from
the meat.
Enjoy. See you next week!

OVEN 'FRIED' PORK
CHOPS OR CHICKEN
WITH SKINNY
SHAKE
Makes enough to coat 5
chickens or dozens of pork
chops.
Store extra in the fridge
or freezer. Omit the salt if
you're on a salt-free diet.
You can omit the oil if ypu
choose for a totally fat free
breading.

1 (15-ounce) container
plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pep-
per
1 tablespoon paprika
3 tablespoons dried
parsley flakes

Place all ingredients in a
large bowl. Mash in oil
with fork.
Trim all fat from pork
chops. For chicken,
remove the skin if you
choose; it will still be moist
using this coating.


ARLEN BORG
Romancing the Stove


Wet chops or chicken
with water and coat with
crumbs. Place on racks in
a cookie sheet and bake at
375 degrees E for about 30
to 40 minutes.
You can create any taste
you want.
For Italian style: Add
garlic powder, oregano
and Italian grated cheese.
Other options: Try onion
powder, sesame seeds,
poppy seeds, dried herbs,
cayennepepper, etc.
You decide.

ESCAROLE AND
BEANS
Low-fat
Serves 3-4
This is a "first dish"
recipe and it is wonderful.
Any greens may be
substituted such as,
spinach, chicory, cabbage,
broccoli rabe, etc., and any
bean can be substituted.

extra virgin olive oil

There is no easy way to get rid


of spam from your e-mails


Every day when I
open my e-mail, I
am flooded with
spam.
I get messages trying to
sell me everything from
Viagra to discount mort-
gages to memberships at
adult Web sites.
I even get an occasional
message from a
"dethroned prince" from
Nigeria promising that if
only I help him (by giving
him my bank account
information) he'll be able
to get access to his frozen
assets and give me several
million for my troubles.
It's gotten to the point
that out of 60 to 70
messages only a handful
are legitimate.
How is it that I, a
computer fixer with
decades of experience,
can get flooded with
spam?
Don't I, of all people,
know how to manage this
scourge any better?
Frankly no.
It's not from a lack or
trying.
Unfortunately, just
about everything I've
tried to stem the flow of
spam has had either
negative or short-term
effects.
I've found the most
effective way (for me
anyway) is to just scan the
subject headers and click
the delete button and
nuke all the unwanted e-
mails one by one.
I know what you are
thinking.
Many of you are suc-
cessfully using some sort
of spam filter and are
thinking, "If Sean would,
just switch to this
method, all of his spam
woes would be over."
All I can really say to
that is thanks, but no
thanks.
Over the years, as I have
tried one method after
another to manage
unwanted e-mail, I've
noticed a couple things.
First, many sparm filters
are too aggressive and
have a tendency to delete
messages I actually want.
Many spam filters will
look at the sender's
domain name and filter
the message that way.
The problem with that
is, I may actually want
messages from that
domain and the spamn
filter can unintentionally
red flag messages that I
actually want to read.
Another problem I've
had is the filters can be
too ready to jump the gun
by scanning the contents
of the message, and again
removing messages I may
want.
Once the over-protec-
tive filter has tagged a


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This

sender as having sent
(what it considers) spam
in the past, it can block
future messages from that
sender.
An example of that
would be the time I was
trying to refinance my
home.
My father, being ever
helpful, sent me an e-mail
listing the mortgage rates
of a certain lender.
The spam filter spotted
the key words "low
mortgage rates" and
filtered that message as
spam.
Then, since the offend-
ing message came from
my dad's e-mail address,
all future messages from
him were filtered.
The really frustrating
thing was that I didn't
know my dad's e-mail was
getting filtered, so I didn't
know he was trying to e-
mail me until he called
annoyed that I was
"ignoring his e-mail."
Other methods have
had mixed results, too.
I've tried creating
blocked senders lists
manually and adding
spam senders e-mails to
the list as they come in.
A few keystrokes and
wham, all future mes-
sages from that sender
blocked.
The only problem with
that method was that it
failed miserably.
What went wrong was
that the spammers would
.change the return address
of every message they
sent, so it didn't matter if
the sender's address was


blocked.
One question that
always comes up is "how
do these spammers get
your e-mail address in the
first place?
It's not like you go to
some site and sign up for
spam. I've seen cases
where people get new e-
mail accounts and within
a week the flow of spamr
begins.
How?
There are dozens of
ways that e-mail address-
es end up as targets for
the spammers, but I'll just
cover a couple.
Entering an e-mail
address at a fly-by-night
Web site can result in your
e-mail address getting on
the sparn list. Some
unscrupulous sites will
sell their e-mail lists,
especially if what they are
offering on their Web site
is free.
Also, forwarding e-mail
messages to everyone in
your address book (or
actually corresponding
with someone who
engages in this practice)
can expose your address
to the spammers, because
as the messages gets
forwarded on and on, so
do all the addresses listed
in the e-mail. Then, once
out in cyberspace, there
are a number of ways that
the addresses can get
harvested from that e-
mail.
Another method is the
old "random e-mail
address" trick. What they
do is use a computer
program to generate
thousands of e-mail
addressed using random
letters and numbers
before the @ symbol and
the domain name. Then
they send out test mes-
sages to the randomly
generated addresses and
the ones that don't get
rejected by the mail
system as a bad address,
they keep.
They end up with a list
of addresses that they
know go somewhere.

government will require automak-
ers to make the safety technology
standard on all new vehicles by
2010. Currently about 40 percent of
new vehicles come with ESC as
standard equipment. This crash-
avoidance technology works by
automatically applying brakes to
individual wheels (making the vehi-
cle more stable) when it senses that
the driver may lose control. The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration predicts that elec-
tronic stability control will save over
ten thousand lives a year when all
vehicles come equipped with it. In
the meantime, car buyers can pro-
vide their vehicles with better safety
value by choosing ESC as an option
if a vehicle doesn't already come so
equipped.
ESC is one of many recent inno-
vations in automobile safety. At

A new day dawning


for senior citizens


BY WENDY DWYER
For Hometown News


Mitch Kloorfain/staff photographer
Valerie Burgatti and Barbara Kaufman, president and CEO of the Council on Aging of Martin County, hold a sign for the
future Charles and Rae Kane Senior Center to open in December, 2009, in Stuart.

Barbara Kauffman asks
you to "close your eyes and
dream of a kind smile, a
gentle touch, a warm
meal, and a special place
to go. A place where peo-
ple are genuinely interest-
ed in you, and are interest-
ed in caring for you."
As President and CEO of
the Council on Aging of
Martin County, Ms. Kauff-
man is hoping you'll do
way more than simply
dream of that kind of
place. In fact, she's spear-
heading the effort for that
very place to be created
right here on the Treasure
Coast.
The Charles and Rae
Kane Senior Center used
to be little more than a
pipe dream of a place
where seniors could gath-
er and receive all of the
services they might need
and find companionship
and caring, too.
"We started thinking
about this center way back
in 1999," says Ms. Kauff-
man. "We originally
planned to build it on the
site of the current facility
on East 10th Street in Stu-
art."
The original idea was
vetoed in 2001, and Ms.
Kauffman now says that
veto was not a defeat but a
gift because she doesn't
feel the agency was ready
to move forward.
In the years since 2001,
the Council on Aging of
Martin County has honed
its strategic plan and done
its homework, dotting
every 'I' and crossing every
'T' to ensure that they are
ready to accommodate the
growth of this area as well
as the needs of the popula-
tion. Ms. Kauffman says,
"now is the right time and
the Charles and Rae Kane
Senior Center is truly the
center of our dreams."
The idea for the multi-
purpose senior center
came from Osceola Coun-
ty, where a similar center is
already under construc-
tion. It features what Ms.
Kauffman calls, "one-stop


shopping for modern
aging" and offers a place
where seniors will become
involved as participants
during the active time of
their lives in an effort to
delay the detrimental
parts of the aging process.
"The center takes out all
the obstacles," said Ms.
Kauffman, "and creates an
atmosphere with no
demarcation of impair-
ment, so seniors are
always in a place that han-
dles every level of impair-
ment and they are always a
full part of the communi-
ty."
Ms. Kauffman describes
most facilities where
'front' of the building is
reserved for relatively
active seniors and the fur-
ther into the building you
get, the more severe the
level of impairment and
more dreary and hopeless
you feel even as a visitor.
The Charles and Rae
Kane Senior Center, a $15
million facility which will
likely break ground in the
fall, is a collaboration of a
number of local agencies,
professionals and govern-
ment officials, including
Representative Joe
Negron, who succeeded in
getting the State appropri-
ation for one-third of the
facility's cost. Other col-
laborators include: the

Fix master plan of own life before trying to fix others


W e say, "It's a
W miracle," when
something
happens that defies
natural laws or reasoning.
Some people will argue
that it's the law of chance.
They can't offer an expla-
nation that comes from
the analytical mind that
gives a clue to the effect
that has just been created.
So, what is the answer?
My belief is that the
answer lies deep within
the heart of the universal
spirit.
Science, art and philoso-
phy have come a long way
in the last 500 years in
trying to understand and
explain the mysteries of
life.
Yet no one has figured
out how a seed planted in
"inorganic" chemical
compounds, such as
nitrogen, phosphorous
and potassium, is able to
transform the seed into
"organic" living tissue.
There is so much we
don't know and maybe
aren't supposed to know.
Genetic engineering to
the logical mind seems like
a good way to extend life
on earth. I support causes
that promote a better,
healthier life for our
grandchildren and future
generations.
But there are drawbacks.
One of the best-kept
secrets of the last 50 years
is that using chemicals,
pollutants and bug killers
on our fields, animals and
selves has caused the male
hormone, testosterone, to
be reduced between 30
and 50 percent.
Look at the change in life
expectancy statistics. The
lives of females are getting
longer and males continue
to get shorter.
Recently, the agriculture


industry has seen a drop in
the number of honey and
bumble bees. Crops are
getting fertilized less and
less.
A recent study showed
that the increase in the
number of cell phones has
interrupted the homing
waves of the bees and they
can't find their way back to
the hive.
Sound preposterous?
I don't know how true
this is, yet something is
causing this imbalance. If
this trend continues,
vegetable and fruit prices
will skyrocket.
Is nature trying to bring
balance back to life?
Is the universal spirit
talking to us?
Are we listening?
Time will tell.
We all come into life
through our mother's
womb, but we are children
of the universal power of
creation as well. We give
this supreme power many
names. No matter what
name we choose, this
power offers three mira-
cles of life.

First great
miracle of life
A flower in a garden, a
human child, or an idea in
the mind and heart have
one thing in common:
they want to be set free.
For seeds to grow they
must be watered, covered
up and surrendered to a
higher power. Then the
supreme power begins to
create the blessing.
The seeds reach out,
creating the roots and
connect to a source, the
universal power.
Then the little shoots
come out of the ground,

Making the most from


all of your medications


I recently came across a
pamphlet put out by
AARP to help people
talk to their doctors and
pharmacists about their
medications.
No medicine can do its
job if it the patient and
family don't understand
what it is for and when it is
to be taken.
There are a number of
useful suggestions for
talking to a health care
provider about the drugs
and over-the counter
products you take.

Before you go to
the doctor

Make a list of all
medications, supplements
and vitamins you take with
the doses. Don't assume
that because it's a vitamin
or organic or over-the-
counter, that it is safe for
you to take. Many drugs
and supplements can
interact badly with each
other.
Write down any
questions you have about
each of the medications
When you're at the
doctor's office
As you discuss a
medication you are taking,
or a new one that is being
prescribed, ask for the
brand name and generic
name, if available.
If you are starting with a


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well

new medicine, ask for
samples so that you don't
have to pay for a medicine
that may not be right for
you, or ask for a small
number until you see if
your tolerate the medi-
cine.
* Ask about the purpose
of the medication. If it is
replacing a medicine you
are already taking, ask
why.
* Ask for side effects you
should be aware of and
when you need to call the
doctor about those effects
* Ask when you should
take the medicine, when
to start it, what to do if you
miss a dose and if you
should take it with food.
* Make sure you have
mentioned every product
you take, including herbs
and supplements, to
ensure that there are no
drug interactions
* Ask if there are things


you can do, such as diet
and exercise, in addition to
or in place of the medi-
cine.
Ask if there are other
medicines available and
how they compare in
safety, efficacy and price. If
there is a generic available,
ask the doctor if he or she
will prescribe that.
Ask if you are taking
this medicine for a limited
amount of time or if it is
long-term therapy. Do you
need to take it if you feel
better?
Do you need to avoid
certain foods and alcohol
.and is driving safe while
you are on the medica-
tion?
AAPR also recommends
keeping a personal med-
ical record for each
member of the family,
updating it as you change
medications and recording
any allergies or drug
sensitivities you have.
Keep a copy for yourself
and give one to your
doctor and pharmacist.
Be honest with your
doctor
It's difficult to admit to
the doctor that you are not
taking the medication
prescribed because you
can't afford it or are
worried about side effects.
It's important to be
honest and discuss fears

Master the art of growing African violets


ne of the most
intriguing and
beautiful house-
plants is the African violet.
These delicate plants are
admired by many, but a lot
of people shy away from
purchasing them because
they think they are hard to
grow.
This is not really the
case. It is true that they
require some attention,
but then again, most other
plants do also.

Getting started
The first step is to decide
what plant you would like
to bring home. African
violets come in several
colors and some varieties
have variegated leaves. As
with most flowering
plants, it is a good idea to
buy plants that have some
buds that haven't opened
yet. Make sure the leaves
look healthy and green.
Once you purchase your
new plant, you need to
transplant it into a differ-
ent pot. Choose a pot is
designed for African
violets.
A regular flowerpot is
too deep. Be sure to
purchase a potting soil
that is designed for African
violets.
You also should pur-
chase some small pebbles
or stones and a saucer to


place under the pot.


Time to plant
After you have pur-
chased plants and sup-
plies, it's time to do the fun
part.
Fill your pot about half
full with soil and place the
newly purchased plant
centered in the pot.
Fill the remainder of the
space with more soil.
Tamp the soil down
slightly and then add a
little more soil to top off
the pot. Once your plant is
situated, you can add a
couple of Jobes plant
spikes to the mix.

How to water
Here comes the tricky
part: Water your plants by
placing tepid water in the
plant saucer you pur-
chased.
Place the pot in the
saucer and allow it to
absorb the water for about
an hour. Do not water the
plant from the top or allow
water to touch the leaves.

Raise the humidity
Since African violets are
native to Africa, they
require a humid environ-
ment in which to thrive.
You can use the saucer
to help raise the humidity

Garden Nook


with Joe Zelenak


around your plant. You can
achieve this by first
placing small stones in the
bottom of the saucer.
Then, place the pot in the
saucer and level the rocks
so the pot remains steady.
Pour some water in the
saucer, but be sure the
water does not completely
cover the stones or touch-
es the bottom of the pot.
This water will enhance
the humidity around the
plant and ensure it
remains happy. Check the
plant every few days and
water as needed. Always
use the above-mentioned


method for watering and
do not water from the top.
That's all for this week
and I hope you enjoyed it.
I will see you next week
with more great garden
tips and information.

Auto buying programs at


wholesale clubs


everyone is familiar with
wholesale warehouse-
style buying clubs. The
stores always resemble
warehouses and skimp on
the typical amenities you
find in conventional retail
department stores.
The products are often
sold in bulk, which some-
time requires you to buy a
lot more than you might
need.
Usually you have to help
yourself, and there are no
salespeople to assist you.
The brands and products
they buy change often
because they buy large
quantities of a particular
brand when they can buy it a
low price.
You pay an annual fee to
be a member. Some of the
more popular and wider
spread wholesale clubs are
Costco; Sam's Club and BJ's
Wholesale Club.
In general, this concept
works and prices are gener-
ally lower at these kinds of
stores. It is easy to see how
wholesale clubs can afford
to sell products cheaper
than conventional depart-
ment stores.
But most wholesale clubs
have begun to branch out
into other areas that are out-
side their original concept.
One of these relative new
areas is an "auto-buying
service."
Unfortunately for con-
sumers, wholesale clubs are
unable to buy cars from the
manufacturers in bulk and
pass along the savings .to
their customers like they do
rice and TV sets.
What the wholesale clubs


EARL STEWART
On Cars

do is sign agreements with
car dealers like me who are
supposed to sell you cars at a
very low price.
The car dealers pay the
wholesale clubs a monthly
fee for the privilege of being
the. exclusive dealer of that
make, authorized to sell cars
to their members. The .fee
the dealer pays the whole-
sale warehouse increases
their cost of sales to whole-
sale club members, but the
theory is that the referral of
members will increase their
volume to more 'than offset
this fee.
I am signed up with one
local wholesale club and am
in discussions with another.
What disappoints me about
these programs is that many
wholesale club members
buy cars from dealer associ-
ates based on their trust in
the wholesale club. The
problem with this is that
many dealers often do not
abide by the prices they are
supposed to quote.
Dealers are supposed to
have one person designated
as the wholesale club mem-
ber contact. But what often
happens is that the first
salesman who sees the
wholesale member enter
the showroom handles the
sale. Salesmen are paid on
commission and will mark
up the price as far as they
can get away with.
Because wholesale
clubs have hundreds of
dealers and thousands of
club members, it is impossi-
ble to police what is hap-
pening on showroom floors
during the sale to club
members.
What all this means is
that just because you are a
member of a wholesale club
with an auto-buying pro-
gram don't relax your vigi-
lance when buying a car,
even if it's from the dealer
endorsed by your wholesale
club.

There is a lot of due dili-
gence that you must do
before you pay a dealer for a
new or used car. The most
important is shopping and
comparing prices on the
same year, make and model
car you have decided on.
You should get at least three
"bids" and the Internet is
the easiest place to do this.
You should shop your
financing separately, and
choose the dealer's financ-
ing only if it is lower or com-
petitive. You should shop
the value of your trade-in
separately, getting at least
three bids on its value.
When you have done all
of this homework and
preparation, only then ven-
ture into the dealership rec-
ommended by your whole-
sale club.
Hopefully, the price
from this recommended
dealer will be lower, but I'm
betting in most cases it
won't be. The wholesale
clubs will show you statis-
tics about the savings the
club members have realized
by using their recommend-
ed dealers, but these savings
are from lots of people who
did not do their homework,
especially with competitive
comparison of prices.
When you enter a deal-
ership recommended by
your warehouse club, insist
on speaking to their desig-
nated representative. If he is
off that day, come back
when he is there. If you get
an uneasy feeling about the
price you are quoted or any-
thing else regarding your
visit, contact your wholesale
club immediately and
report it.
Some wholesale clubs are
taking steps against dealer
fees, but some-are not. The
price that you and the
wholesale club think you are
paying often does not
include the dealer fee, which
can range up to $900 or
more.
If your club does not insist
that its' dealers include their
dealer fee (simply additional
profit for the dealer) in their
club pricing, they should.

ing seniors remain inde-
pendent for a longer period
of time, the entire commu-
nity saves money on care
for the elderly because it's a
lot less expensive to have
active, independent sen-
iors than those who are
.confined to a full-care
nursing home facility.
In fact, the Center
expects to have a doctor
and pharmacy on-site, and
will be working in collabo-

Tai Chi is a gentle, slow
motion exercise that origi-
nated in ancient China. It
combines elements of Chi-'
nese Yoga and meditation
with self-defense tech-
niques and the Taoist Yin
and Yang philosophy.
Classes are for all ages
and ability levels. The prac-
titioner does not need spe-
cial clothes, equipment, or
space and can practice in a
chair or standing up.
The program includes
components to increase
flexibility, tone the muscles,
develop postural align-
ment, enhance cardio-vas-
cular fitness, and improve
the mind-body connection.
The recreation center is
located on the west side of
the Palm City Bridge. The
class is offered at 6 p.m. on
Tuesday and 1 p.m. on
Thursday at the Recre-
ation Center, and 6 p.m. on

South Fork High School enj


stellar second half of the sea


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
When the high school
baseball season began, it
looked like the competi-
tion for Treasure Coast
supremacy would be
fierce. Powerhouse
teams like Martin Coun-
ty, Port St. Lucie, Jensen
Beach, John Carroll and
Vero Beach all looked to


contend for their respec-
tive district titles, not to
mention the Treasure
Lakes Conference cham-
pionship.
But it was a senior-
laden South Fork team
that came alive late in
the regular season, to
claim their first confer-
ence title.
The Bulldogs beat Vero


Beach, 1-0, on the road
April 13 to secure a spot
in the championship
game April 17 at Lawn-
wood Stadium in Fort
Pierce. And then came
back to beat John Carroll
6-5 in the title game.
"We didn't go down.
We've been in that situa-
tion before... Seven
innings is a long game.

April 17. South Fork

Mustangs kick off season, in a way


The St. Lucie
Mustangs make
their pro football
debut amid
much confusion

BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
It was a night of confu-
sion, questions and foot-
ball at The Bud Adams
Ranch Equestrian Arena
at the St. Lucie loir-
grounds April 20, but the
St. Lucie Mustangs made
their much-anticipated
debut.
The game was delayed
40 minutes while the
crowd of about 200 wait-
ed for referees to arrive.
But, that never happened
and instead coaches from
both the Mustangs and
the Miami Vice Squad
served as officials in what
turned out to be a glori-
fied scrimmage between
the two teams.
The final score was 57-
17 Miami, however, with-
out a scoreboard, referees
and a first quarter brawl
that cleared both benches
and stopped play for
nearly 10 minutes, the
game was hard to follow.
Those are all things that
head coach and owner
Billy Butler will have fixed
for the Mustangs next
home game, May 5
against Palm Beach.
"We have a lot of work
to do. It's a good wake up


call for us, a big, big wake
up call. People need to
know that (the Mustangs)
are going to be a team in
Port St. Lucie for a while,"
said Butler. "Next game
I'm going to make sure
that we have a scoreboard
and refs and stuff. That's
my fault because I was so
busy doing the field. I
take the blame."
On the field, the game
was fast and hard hitting,
often receiving loud
cheers from the crowd.
Quarterback Chase
Morris looked good under
center for the Mustangs,
although he was unable
to connect with his
receivers all night. The
Vice Squad put heavy
pressure on Port St. Lucie
quarterbacks the whole
night, leading Morris and
backup Jason Taylor to
scramble more than
intended.
Even though the two
quarterbacks completed
just 2 of their 16 passes.
They did show potential
to move the ball and
score.
"It's almost like it's not
real," said Morris, who
played quarterback and
safety at So'ith Fork High
School, graduating in
2001. "It's like you're in a
video gafie at first
because the field is so
small and everything is so
organized and it looks so
nice and perfect. It does-
n't click that you're actu-
ally out there getting hit.


'We have a lot of work to do. It's a good wake
up call for us, a big, big wake up call. People
need to know that (the Mustangs) are going to
be a team in Port St. Lucie for a while."

Billy Butler
Owner and head coach of the St. Lucie Mustangs


Then you're like 'Oh I'm
playing football.'"
Kicker Massimo Scaccia
scored the team's first
points with a 31-yard
field goal in the first quar-
ter that barely missed
clipping the arena ceiling
and wide receiver Jimmy
Carson ran in the team's
first touchdown just after
halftime.
Taylor connected with
Jackson Louis late in the
fourth quarter for the
team's lone passing
touchdown.
"We have a lot to learn.
I think we need to locate
our weak points and go
from there," said Morris.
Port St. Lucie looked
awkward at times as they
were clearly still getting
used to playing on artifi-
cial turf. The team prac-
tices three times a week
for two-and-a-half hours
at a time, but they do not
practice on turf. This was
the first time many of the
players had ever set foot
on the surface.
"We're only going
upward. It was a good
learning experience," said
lineman Kenny Ball, one
of the few Mustangs to


have experience on Astro-
turf. "I told the guys it's a
lot faster playing on turf.
You got to move and chop
your feet. Some did, some
didn't. Now we know."
Ball also said that get-
ting hit into the boards
was a different experi-
ence and something else
that the team must get
used to in order to suc-
ceed. Because the refer-
ees never showed up, the
game did not count
towards the standings.
Butler was unsure if the
game would be made up.
But what the scrim-
mage did do, was give the
Mustangs a chance to get
experience what the
National Indoor Football
League will be like in
their inaugural season,
and what the fans of Port
St. Lucie can look forward
to in the future.
"It was disheartening
that refs never showed
up," said Ball. "But it
couldn't have happened
any better because it gave
them a chance to see
what the game was like."

in the first inning, and

Eagles came to bat in the
bottom of the fifth.
John Carroll took
advantage of a two-out
error from South Fork
third baseman Charlie
Robbins to start a rally
that would send five run-
ners across the plate.
But the Bulldogs would
not succumb to the pres-
sure. Harper got the rally

Five batters later, John-

RBI single.
But it would be Rob-
bins, who would get his
redemption in the form of
a game-wining hit in the
seventh that would be the
biggest hit of the night.
His chopper back up the
middle brought in Breen
from second and gave the
Bulldogs a lead that

wouldn't fall.
"I was really happy
because I gave up that
error that let in the only
runs of the game," said
Robbins. "If I wouldn't
have come away there
with anything I would
have been pretty mad."
The win also served as
the culmination of what
has been a complete
turnaround in the second
half of the season for
South Fork. On March 24,.
the team lost to John Car-
roll 12-1 and were the vic-
tims of the 10-run mercy
rule. After that game the
teams six seniors had a
meeting and realized they
had to turn get their team
back on track or their
time playing for the Bull-
dogs was going to end
sooner than they wanted
it to.
Being able to get their
revenge against the Gold-
en Eagles to win the Trea-
sure Lakes Conference
was just an added bonus.
"Honestly I'm a little
upset we didn't beat them
by a little bit more. We got
'mercy'd' last time so I
wanted to come out and
not have a close game,
because I think we're a
much better club than
them and I wanted to
come out here and prove
it."
Having that kind of
determination from his
seniors gives head coach
Mike Harper all the confi-
dence in the world in his
team. And lets him know
that South Fork will only
go as far as his seniors
can take them.
"It's huge. Now they
have bragging rights. We
are the best team on the
Treasure Coast. We beat
Vero, we beat Port St.
Lucie, we beat John Car-
roll. So now we got some-
thing to say," said Harper.
"I got six good kids in the
program. It's tremendous
for these kids to go out
like that."

Thousands of area children


treated to minor league game


THEY TRAVEL WELL


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

PORT ST. LUCIE The
game between the St.
Lucie Mets and Palm
Beach Cardinals didn't
begin like most. Members
of the Mets and the St.
Lucie Police Department
took the field along with
area fifth-graders to par-
ticipate in a water bal-
loon toss and other fes-
tivities at 10 a.m. for a
game that started at 10:30
a.m.
Who attended the
Wednesday game that
began in the morning?
About 4,000 fifth-
graders, teachers and
parents.
The St. Lucie Mets and
the St. Lucie County
Police Department
teamed up on April 18 for
a day of education,
awareness and baseball.
The department's Drug
Abuse Resistance Educa-
tion program, D.A.R.E,
hosted fifth-graders from
St. Lucie and Martin
counties at Tradition
Field for the game
between the Mets and
Palm Beach Cardinals. It
was the 13th consecutive


year that the team hosted
the event.
Despite the fact the
Mets lost 6-5, the crowd
of 4,400, including nearly
4,000 children, had a
great time just the same
with D.A.R.E. officers
throwing Frisbees and
handing out freebees like
water bottles and key
chains.
Some even broke out
super soakers to relieve
the kids of the heat.
"Our job today is to
teach these kids and
make sure they have a
good time with free give-
aways and promote our
message which is anti-
drug, anti-violence," said
D.A.R.E officer Paul Grif-
fith. "Plus we get to watch
a baseball game."
The day also gave the
students a chance to see
that their D.A.R.E. offi-
cers are real people too,
said Griffith, who won an
on-field game of musical
chairs to start the day.
The event has become
so popular over the years,
that kids anticipate the
field trip even before they
participate in the D.A.R.E.
program. The program is
taught to area fifth-


graders as part of the
years curriculum.
"It's the first thing they
ask about," said Griffith.
Escorting his class to
the event for the first time
was Lance Green, a fifth-
grade teacher at C.A.
Moore Elementary
School in Fort Pierce. Sip-
ping sodas and eating
hotdogs in the first row of
the upper level seats
behind home plate,
Green and his class were
enjoying the game and all
the other festivities that
came with it. Green has
taught other grades in the
county, but this is first
year teaching fifth. And
his excitement for a day
from work and at the ball-
park seemed to parallel
his students.
"It's a great way to cele-
brate D.A.R.E. It is an
extremely worthwhile
program," said Green.
"This is the culmination
of the hard work the kids
put into the program."
And even with the
excitement of a baseball
game and all the other
activity during the event,
the message was not lost

Time to learn some manners from a peeved golfer %


Thump.That
sound?Oh, it's just my
soapbox hitting the
ground.
I've warned all of you
about forcing me to get this
baby out of the attic. It's not
often that I'm compelled to
sit all of you down and have
a good chat, but now
you've done it.
Sit down. We need to talk!
The expensive rates to
play golf this winter are
finally gone and courses
are begging us to play.
Most, if not all, courses are
fighting for every dollar
they can get from a shrink-
ing customer base.
Just check the newspaper
and take a look at all the
specials and coupons being
run.
This is where we need to
address a couple of prob-

lems that I have begun to
notice. Just because the
golf is discounted, does not
give you free reign to
discount your manners,
etiquette, ethics, morals
and a whole litany of other
things.
Yesterday I saw a young
man, coupon in hand,
walking up to the course
with his bag, wearing a pair
of baseball shoes, with
cleats. What in the world
could this guy have possi-
bly been thinking?
I'm guessing he was
planning on digging in on
the tee to hit some monster
drive. Imagine playing in
the group behind him and
putting across where he
ventured on every green.
A few days.before, I
witnessed a gentleman
heading out to his car,
mumbling under his breath
about being treated rudely
by the staff.
Apparently someone took
issue with his camouflage


shorts and matching T-
shirt attire and asked him
to change or find another
place to play.
On another occasion, I
saw a young woman
practically drive her cart
onto the green so that she
could hurriedly hit her putt
and get on to the next hole.
She was apparently oblivi-
ous to the ropes and signs
she just drove over forbid-
ding her from taking her
cart there.
Perhaps with daylight
fading, she was simply
trying to get in as many
holes as possible.
I know that courses are
begging for business, but
there is a point of diminish-
ing return.
I'm not saying that golf
should be an elitist sport.
Equipment and fees to
play are certainly not
cheap. Courses and golfers
should want more people
to play and try the sport.
Making it affordable for


them is not only noble it is
necessary and smart
business.
All I ask is for you to treat
the course, staff and your
fellow golfers with a little
more respect.
Learning how to sand a
divot and repair a ball mark
doesn't require four years
of college. For those of us
who have been playing the
game, it's our duty to pass
along proper etiquette to
the beginners or twice-a-
year golfers,
It only takes a minute to
lead by example or show
someone how it's done.
We all get frustrated by
this game.
The majority of us do not
play this game for a living,
yet many of us think we
should perform like those
on professional tours.
A couple weeks back I
played with some guys
from New England. One of
them insisted on throwing
clubs and cursing like a


sailor after every poor shot.
Instead of being happy to
play for the first time in
many months, he decided
to ruin everyone's day.
Since his friends refused
to say something, I did.
He was less-than-thrilled
at my audacity in asking
him to calm down. I simply
told him that if he couldn't
find a way to play golf in a
civilized manner, I'd take
my clubs off the cart and
find another group to play
with.
So, while you're clipping
those coupons and calling
courses to see who has the
best deals, take a minute to
remember that golf is.a
gentleman's and ladies'
sport.
We need to dress and
behave appropriately.
If you have no clue how to
treat the course and your
fellow golfers with respect,
do not expect much in
return.
Well my rant is over.

The event will be held

Admission to the event

There will be limited

CASTLE offers parent-

The private-home

D.A.R.E.
From page D5
on the fifth graders in
attendance.
Caroline Smith and
Caitlin Cyr, fifth-graders
at First Baptist Christian
School in Stuart, were
amongst the crowd and
excited about the game
and the D.A.R.E. pro-
gram.
"We get to learn about
all this different stuff,
how drug are bad for you
and how to teach othei
people about them too,'
said Caroline.
Mets Director of Florida
Operations Paul Taglieri
said the only thing that


to the citizens of Martin
County.
CASTLE, a United Way
partner organization,
now in its 26th year, is
dedicated to the
improvement of family
life quality and the pre-
vention of child abuse
and neglect by providing
community education,
support and resources for
parents in need of assis-
tance.
CASTLE facilities are
located in St. Lucie, Mar-
tin and Indian River
counties.
For more information,
to volunteer for the auxil-
iary, or to donate, call
Gundula Hargraves at
(772) 567-5700, Kristi
Scottaline at (772) 465-
6011, or visit the Web site
www.exchangecastle.org.


could have made the day
better would have been a
Mets win, but being a
part of something so
worthwhile was a win in
itself.
"It's a tremendous day
for us," said Taglieri. "It's
a great day for the kids
who are about to gradu-
ate from the program and
go off to middle school.
For us to be associated
with that, it's tremen-
dous."
