Quick thinking
by medical
student Daniel
Manzano averts
tragedy
BY MICHELLE GENTILE
For Hometown News
When Daniel Manzano
heard the noise of a sput-
tering plane, he realized he
better be ready and luckily
for Palm City pilot Carter
Smith, Mr. Manzano knew
just what to do.
Mr. Manzano a Duke
University medical student
who had come home to
Stuart to visit his mother,
jumped into ;action when
he saw Smith's Express
2000 plane crash into the
St. Lucie River on April 20.
Mr. Manzano leaped into
the St. Lucie River and
pulled Mr. Carter to shore.
'Around 7 p.m. I heard


the sound of a plane
stalling," said Daniel Man-
zano. "My mother used to
fly single-engine planes so I
recognized the sound. I
heard him trying to crank
up the engine but it wasn't
getting any fuel."
Mr. Smith was piloting
his plane from the Sun 'N
Fun Fly-In in Lakeland to
the Witham Field Airport in
Stuart.
He was forced to
descend after encountering
fuel problems and set his
plane down just 20 feet
from the Roosevelt Bridge.
Witnesses at the crash
saw Mr. Manzano, 22-,
years-old and a trained life
guard, jump into the St.
Lucie River to help the
pilot.
Mr. Smith was initially,
trying to land the plane on
the Roosevelt Bridge, but he
saw danger from power
lines and pedestrians.
According to the eyewit-


n e s s
accounts he
made it over
the bridge,
away from
the boat I
yard and
into a safe
area of the
river.
"He actu-
ally did a Daniel
good job. Manzano
There are 86
boats tied up in this area
and he managed to crash
between the bridge and the
boats," said Daniel's moth-
er, Genetta Allen, who was
also at the scene of the
crash, but not with her son.
:Smith was able to release
himself from the plane's
safety harness and was
assisted to shore by Mr.
Manzano.
"I saw the plane crash
from my sail boat and saw a
black streak dive into the
water.. .it was my son," said


Ms. Allen.
Both Smith and Manzano
were sent to the Martin
Memorial Medical Center.
Daniel had fuel.in his lungs
and Mr. Smith was treated
for minor injuries.
"Everyone just kept
yelling, 'there's fuel in the
water get back'. All I could
think of was my son in that
water," said Ms. Allen. "He
had jellyfish stings, every-
where and turned pale and
started getting sick. The
ambulance took him to the
hospital and he was
released that night."
Detective Mike Gerwan
responded to the incident
and said the scene was
secured by Road Patrol by
the time he got there.
"The airport took cus-
tody of the plane and we
went on to complete a
report for the Federal Avia-
tion Administration," said
Detective Gerwan.
According to the Stuart


Police the aircraft flown
was an experimental
homemade craft and the
matter is in the hands of
the FAA.
"He's always been a good
kid," said Ms. Allen. "I've
always taught him if you do
good things for people one
day it will come back
around."
As for Daniel Manzano
he wants to continue in
school for nursing and
work for one of the area
hospitals. He still plans on
becoming a doctor but is
taking some time off.
"When I talked to the
pilot he said he's not sure
he would have made it if it
weren't for me. It's incredi-
ble to have been able to be
there to help," said Daniel.
"I think anyone would have
done the same thing given
the same situation,
although, how many times
does a plane crash right in
front of you."

Hard of Hearing Services asking for help


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
May is National Speech
and Hearing Month, the
perfect time to let the pub-
lic know they can assist in


making life better for the
deaf and hard of hearing.
"We are at a point where
we are desperate for hear-
ing aids," said Rick Kottler,
executive director of Deaf
and Hard of Hearing Ser-
vices of the Treasure Coast.
During the month of
May, several Treasure
Coast businesses will have
drop boxes for hearing aid
donations in St. Lucie,
Martin, Indian River and
Okeechobee Counties.
"We take them in any
shape or form," said Mr.
Kottler. "The ones we can't
use, we send to a manufac-
turer in Michigan, and
they pay us a few dollars
for the ones they cannot
refurbish. We put that
money in an account that
allows us to buy refur-
bished hearing aids."

This new technology has been developed by NobelGulde, the pioneers of hew advancements In dental
Implant technology. Teeth In a DayTM protocol developed by Dr. Thomas Balshi of Ft. Washington, PA


that his organization has
two programs for refur-
bished hearing aids. The
first is for adults who are at
poverty level as defined by
the U.S. Department of
Labor.
If the adults qualify, Dr.
Beth Royer, a Treasure
Coast audiologist, donates
her time, helps refurbish
the hearing aids the organ-
ization receives, and does
all the testing at "real, real
reduced rates," said Mr.
Kottler.
"The cost could end up
being $500 versus any-
where from $1,000 to
$5,000 that it would nor-
mally cost to fit an adult
with hearing aids," said
Mr. Kottler.
The second program
involves a children's hear-
ing aid fund, which is a
separate amount of money
set aside by the organiza-
tion for this purpose.
"It's for kids that. might
otherwise fall through the
cracks," said Mr. Kottler.
"Our first clients were a
working father and non-
working mother who had
two children and not a lot
of money. We consider
each family on a case-by-
case basis. We pay for
everything, and Dr. Royer
donates her time," he said.
In addition to these serv-
ices, the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Services is the
regional distribution cen-
ter for a "phones-on-loan"
program which provides
telephones that assist the
deaf, blind and speech-
impaired.
The organization also
offers monthly support
group meetings for those
with hearing loss. The
group meets the fourth
Friday of every month at
9:30 a.m. at the Deaf and
Hard of Hearing Services'
offices in Port St. Lucie.
Mr. Kottler said the
organization will begin a
sign-language class on


Mon., May 7, at 6:30 p.m.
for 12 weeks. Cost of the
classes is $100 total, plus
$20 for the class book.
At present, the following
locations will have drop off
boxes for the donation of
hearing aids:
*United Way offices at 50

Correctly guess location of cow's
'gastronomical action,' and win $5,000

Project Graduation Foundation of Martin County, a
not-for-profit organization formed in 2003 with the pur-
pose of keeping Martin County seniors safe in the hours
after their high school graduations, have announced a
fundraiser called "Cow Chip Bingo" that will take place
on Saturday, May 5.
For a $10 donation, participants receive a "Cow bingo
deed" that they place on a square section located on the
athletic field at Martin County High School.
At 1:30 p.m., a cow will be released. If the cow does
"what comes naturally," on a square chosen by a partici-
pant, that person will win the grand prize of $5,000,
sponsored by Toyota of Stuart.
If the cow has not dropped a "chip" by 4 p.m., the
$5,000 will go to the person who chose the square where
the cow is standing, or the closest deeded square.
Project Graduation' purpose is to provide entertain-
ment, including food, activities, entertainment and
prizes, for high school graduates in a controlled envi-
ronment immediately following graduation cere-
monies, ending at dawn the next morning. The event is
supervised by school representatives, parents, adult vol-
unteers and Martin County emergency medical techni-
cians.

Tourist Development Council votes
to increase 'bed tax'
The Martin County Tourist Development Council
voted on March 25 to increase its "bed tax" from two
percent to three percent. Both St. Lucie and Palm Beach
counties charge five percent for this tax.
The "bed tax," also known as the tourist development
tax, has been in effect since 2002, when it was approved
following a countywide referendum.
The tax is added to the cost of renting and leasing
hotel or motel accommodations in Florida for stays of
less than six months, and the funds from the tax are
used to promote tourism in Martin County.

FCAT
From page Al
This is the level considered
minimally acceptable by
the state.
Martin County's 10th-
grade classes did not fare
as well as the fourth- and
eighth-graders.
In 2006, 84 percent of
high school sophomores in
the county scored a 3.5 or
higher on the writing por-
tion of the FCAT. This year,
that figure dropped to 78
percent, one percentage
point lower than the state
average.
However, 65 percent of
Martin County's sopho-
mores received a score of
4.0 or above, one percent-
age point higher than the
statewide average of 64
percent.
The writing scores are
the only ones to have been
released thus far in 2007.
""The scores are usually
released in waves," said
Cathy Brennan, public
information officer for the
Martin County School Dis-
trict. "The next wave will
be third- and 12th-grade
reading and math."
Ms. Brennan said 10th
grade students must pass
the reading and math por-
tions of the FCAT in order
to graduate. However, they


are permitted to take the
test as many times as nec-
essary until they have
passed both sections.
For the writing assign-
ments, students are given a
topic and have 45 minutes
to plan and write their
responses. Resulting
scores range from a low of
1.0 to a perfect score of 6.0.
Fourth-grade students
are given either an exposi-
tory essay or a narrative
essay to write. Students in
eighth and tenth grades
are given an expository
essay or a persuasive writ-
ing task.
"The narrative asks the
student to write in order to
tell a story, while the
expository is writing to
explain," said Delores Oliv-
er, Calloway, executive
director of instructional
services for the Martin
County School District.
As the name suggests,
persuasive writing requires
the student to write an
essay that persuades
another party to do some-
thing. Mrs. Calloway gave
one example from a prior
FCAT, where the students
were given a lead sentence,
called a "prompt," that told
the student to imagine
they had created a T-shirt
design they wanted'to sell
to a manufacturer.
"They had to write and

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

explain how they would
persuade the manufactur-
er to accept their creative
design," said Mrs. Cal-
loway.
Mrs. Calloway said there
were 178 perfect scores of
6.0 in the Martin County
School District in the writ-
ing tests this year.
One of the students who
received a perfect score is
Morgen Barter, 10, a
fourth-grade student at
Port Salerno Elementary
School.
Shandra Barter, Morgen's
mother, is especially proud
of this accomplishment,
because Morgen had some
obstacles on his way to
academic success.
"He didn't do very well
last year, and that's why
I'm so thrilled with his
teacher and the whole
school system," said Mrs.
Barter.
Morgen was diagnosed
as developmentally dis-
abled as a toddler, and did-
n't speak until he was
three-years-old. By the age
of six, he overcame this
diagnosis, but last year he
was diagnosed as a juve-
nile diabetic.
"He was unable to focus
and was so tired," said Mrs.
Barter, describing the
symptoms that made it dif-
ficult for him to do well in
school.

"He's come so far and
overcome so many obsta-
cles," she said. "And he's so
excited about his perfect
score. His whole class did
so well."
Proof of that is in the sta-
tistics. In 2006, 82 percent
of Port Salerno Elemen-
tary's fourth-grade stu-
dents scored at or above
proficiency level in the
writing tests. This year,
that number increased to
94 percent.
Other schools showing
significant increase were
Hobe Sound Elementary,
which had the largest
increase in the district. In
2006, fourth-graders at this
school had 73 percent
scoring at or above profi-
ciency. This year, that
number rose to 90 percent.
Indiantown Middle
School gained the most in
comparison to other mid-
dle schools, with an
increase in proficiency
levels from 77 percent in
2006 to 84 percent in 2007.
Hidden Oaks Middle
School had the highest
score in the district, with
96 percent of its eighth-
grade students at or above
proficiency level.
Jenny Lambdin, princi-
pal of Hidden Oaks, said
in 2006, that figure was 94
percent. Asked the secret
of her success, Ms. Lamb-
din said, "My teachers are
very dedicated and we
have a great writing cur-
riculum in place. We have
the kids write, write,
write. The teachers work
hard with them and the
program has been suc-
cessful."

Morgen Barter is shown with Jamie. Hounshell, his fourth-
grade teacher at Port Salerno Elementary School, during a
lunchtime party thrown by Morgen's mother, Shandra
Barter, to celebrate the class' FCAT results. Morgen scored
a perfect 6.0 in the writing portion of the test.


Ms. Lambdin said the
support of the students'
parents played a big role
as well..
"The parents' involve-
ment in their children's
education led to this suc-
cess. When they are inter-
ested in their children's
education, it becomes a
team effort," she said.
Stuart Middle School
followed closely behind
Hidden Oaks, with 95
percent of its eighth-
graders scoring at or
above proficiency.
Although the scores in
reading, mathematics


and science are not yet
known, those in the Mar-
tin County School Dis-
trict are understandably
touting these early
results.
"We try to highlight
those who have made
large gains, knowing that
this is something that all
of our schools are working
very diligently on," said
Mrs. Calloway.

ALu IN A IE
After a winter of hitting potholes, it
makes sense to have your vehicle's
wheels aligned. On most vehicles,
there are three adjustment settings:
toe (the amount that the fronts of the
wheels are closer than the rears),
camber (the inward or outward tit of
the wheel at the top), and caster (the
angle at which the front axles are
attached to the vehicle). On some
vehicles, only one or two of these
settings are adjustable while the oth-
ers are permanent. For many years,
only the front wheels of most U.S.-
built cars had these adjustments.
With the introduction of four-wheel
independent suspension, many
vehicles have adjustments on the
rear wheels as well, which are as
important as the front wheels.
Even with the best of road condi-
tions eventually every vehicle will
need to have their wheels aligned. At
ADVANTAGE FORD OF STUART,
located at 4000 S.E. Federal
Highway, our technicians can per-
form wheel alignments on your vehi-
cle quickly, and safely. Proper wheel
alignments can save you money in
the long run, by preventing uneven
wear on your tires, and possible fur-
ther damage to your car. To schedule
an appointment to have your align-
ment looked at call 772.781.6540
today. We're a "Blue Oval Certified"
Ford dealership. Genuine Motorcraft
parts mean that high quality is guar-
anteed. We service most major
makes and models in addition to
Ford and Lincoln/Mercury cars and,
for your convenience, we have
Saturday appointments from 7:30-
3:30 as well as Monday to Friday,
7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
HINT: Incorrect toe and camber set-
tings will cause tires to wear out pre-
maturely. An incorrect caster setting
will cause the vehicle to wander and
make it feel unstable at high speeds.

Victim attacked
officer during
traffic stop for
speeding

BY RITA HART
Staff writer
STUART A Martin.
County Sheriff Deputy
who had just started his
midnight shift on
March 7 and made
what he thought was a
routine traffic stop that
ended in a struggle and
fatal shooting, will not
face criminal charges.
The decision was
made after a grand jury
hearing on April 24.
The purpose of the
hearing was to decide
whether Deputy Young-
blood was justified in
the shooting of Gary
Vierow, 43, who died at
the scene of the shoot-
ing.
Mr. Vierow, who had a
history of mental
health problems, was
stopped by Deputy
Youngblood on a dead-
end lane in Jensen
Beach.
According to the
transcript from a vol-
untary interview
Deputy Youngblood
later gave at the State
Attorney's Office, he
stopped Mr. Vierow
after observing him
pass a vehicle while
driving 60 miles an

hour in a 20 mile per
hour zone.
Deputy Youngblood
said Mr. Vierow
appeared agitated and
approached the
Deputy, refusing
repeated requests to
return to his vehicle.
Mr. Vierow continued
to approach Deputy
Youngblood, who had
difficulty putting hand-
cuffs on Mr. Vierow
because he had started
to struggle with the
deputy.
Deputy Youngblood
said he attempted to
fire his taser, but was
unsuccessful, partly
because Mr. Vierow was
pummeling him in the
head.
"At that point, I real-
ized he has every inten-
tion of harming me,"
said Deputy Young-
blood.
The Deputy drew his
weapon, and after he
fired a second shot, he
said Mr. Vierow let go of
him and fell to the
ground.
Deputy Youngblood,
who was himself injured
in the struggle, attempt-
ed CPR on Mr. Vierow,
without success.
"It's one of the few
times in the 12 years I've
been in law enforce-
ment where he was not
trying to get away," said
Deputy Youngblood
during his interview.
"He was constantly
attacking me, and strik-
ing me with a lot of hos-
tility."

Deputy speeds through school zone

Monday afternoon on Cove Road, heavy traffic was
stopped in the school zone at Anderson Middle School.
Suddenly, a Sheriff's deputy came speeding through the
area at about 80 m.p.h.
He was heading to a one car traffic stop I had just
passed, with two officers already on the scene.
The drivers just stared like they could not believe their
eyes, because he was already gone by the time we heard a
siren.
There was no justification for endangering so many
lives.

A travesty has occurred

I sat in court today for almost five hours following story
in Martin County of a dental hygienist that treated Med-
icaid patients.
I totally got as much information as I possibly could get
about it.
The biggest travesty in our lives happened today. Our
government is out of control.
This young lady was accused of doing about 3,000 hours
worth of work that shouldn't have been done, that was so
necessary.
They paid $300 an hour to a dentist to testify that you
can't see tartar on an x-ray, which is such a joke, because
you can.
They never introduced any of the x-rays into the court-
room. People that had no knowledge of dentistry listened
to everything. They totally destroyed this woman's life.
The big injustice that I saw was that they deleted the
only private practice dentist in Martin County or St. Lucie
County that took Medicaid, and who did nothing but help
people.
It's sad, because the big loser here is not the young lady
that is suffering, and it's not the office that did nothing
but the right thing.
They had people testify, they had labs testify, and they
had other doctors testify that the work done was a neces-
sary thing, and that is what is wrong is the system.
People don't go and do fraud for that kind of money. It's
just not the way it is.
I thought it was like a personal vendetta, and they
painted a very ugly, ugly, ugly picture.
I took it upon myself to go to that office, have my teeth
cleaned, and examined.
It is very sad, very sad, what the media does, and how
they publicize things. We have turned a poor corner.
The only people that suffered are every single under-
privileged person that has Medicaid.
To listen to the testimony, they had Hibiscus House, the
boot camps; they did all the people and children that
nobody wanted. And, now they are hanging them out to
dry.
It's sad. I think we are living in a very sad world.
For $1,500 or $3,000, they are going to spend my money,
the taxpayers' money to pay all these people to investi-
gate something so minute.
It sent a very big message don't deal with Medicaid,
don't have anything to do with them.
I think it was just a case full of ignorance, and poor rep-
resentation for that poor young lady. She had a very poor
lawyer through her trial. There were so many wonderful
people that stood up for her at her sentencing.
I think Judge Larry Schack missed the boat on that one.
He doesn't realize what damage he did to the community.
I've lost my admiration for him, because I thought he
would see through the ignorance. He did not..

Port St. Lucie is a disgrace
I've been here on the Treasure Coast for almost 25 years.
I have always been glad not to live in Port St. Lucie any-
more, but even more so now.
I just took a ride through there for the past two hours,
doing some business.
Boy you want to talk about a scummy city, my God! I've
never seen so many aliens, illegal probably, and so much
trash and garbage, it's just unbelievable what this city
looks like. I'm sorry what this town looks like. It never was
a city, and.never will be. It amazes me.
The idiots that sit on the City Council should wake up a

little bit. This place is an absolute disgrace.
Thank God I don't live there anymore. I'm so glad to be
living in Martin County.

Discrimination against non-computer users

My problem is with TV programs that have information,
etc., and game shows, such as Wheel of Fortune, that, in
order to participate, you must have a computer.
I am 82 years old, and do not have a computer, but I do
have a telephone.
This is discrimination, as far as I am concerned.
I'm not alone. Only two of my 12 friends have comput-
ers.
It is just not right. It is discrimination, just because we
do not have a computer.

Earth Day

Another Earth Day has passed, and I don't know that
things are getting any better.
Most of the major scientific organizations, like the
National Academy of Science, have put out statements
that humans are causing a lot, if not most, of global
warming.
It's all very gloomy to think about. But, it's not hopeless.
Tanks to all of the people who strive daily to make the earth
a better place.
We can all help our planet. Environmentalism doesn't
always mean sacrifice.
A fluorescent light bulb can save around $50 in electricity
over its lifetime, while saving natural resources and reducing
pollution.
Reusable canvas shopping bags are much sturdier.than
plastic, and also save resources and landfill space.
Plus, the Wall Street Journal says plastic bags cost the
industry $4 billion a year, so they're not really free.
The main thing about environmentalism is not taking any-
thing for granted; there's always a cost.
The more we think about the consequences of our actions,
the more we can help our planet, and the less gloomy things
will be.

Give her a break

Regarding Nancy Pelosi going to Syria, that person
ought to remember that a week ago or so before, two
Republicans went over there and spoke to their president.
If he wants to talk about terrorism so much, why doesn't
he read Jimmy Carter's book of peace, not apartheid, to
find out who has been terrorizing people for the past fifty
years, and we've been helping them:

Just a couple of comments

First, in response to the rant about fast food places not
getting your order right because they can't understand
English well, try to be an elderly, sick patient in one of
these nursing homes, or hospitals and try to get your
message across to the CNA's, and some nurses and doc-
tors, about what is bothering you, and what you really
need.


They don't understand English. I don't understand how
they can get a job in a hospital or a nursing home. That's
one of the worst things that I can think of. Being sick, and
needing help, and you can't get across to the person who
is taking care of you what is wrong, or what you need.
Secondly, on television a couple of weeks ago, there was
a clip about a bunch new GIs, men and women, ready to
go to Iraq and fight.
The only thing keeping them back was that they didn't
have a good credit rating.
That's the most ridiculous thing I have every hear of.
The guys with good credit ratings, who fight for all our
lives, have to go and fight, and fight, and get killed or
maimed, while these men and women get to stay in the
states because they don't have a good credit rating.
I've never heard of such a thing.

Don't throw the money

I work at Winn Dixie on Indrio Road.
I don't like it when customers throw their money on the
counter, especially when it's the elderly, because as a per-
son who works in retail, we cannot throw it right back at
them.
I think it is very rude. Don't people realize that it is more
polite to hand the money to the person?
It is bothersome when, after handing over the money,
they begin to dig around in their pockets, and ignore the
question of "Do you have the correct change."
They ignore you, and when you start to ring the sale up,
they say, "Oh, I have the change," or they wait until it has
already been rung up, and then say they've got the
change.
This has always bothered me, and I just wanted to say
something about it.

Cement, not sand

Why not use cement instead of sand on our beaches,
like Wabasso, and Palm Beach have done?
The cement stays there, and there's no kick back.
Speaking of kick back, how much is thereon those
orange barrels you see on U.S. 1? Boy oh boy!

It's spending, not taxes

This is in regard to the property tax issue.
There have been many comments about the taxes, and
the millages, etc. But, the real issue isn't so much taxes,
it's spending.
If the amount of money the government has available is
limited, and they only spend what they have available,
our taxes would be reduced by eliminating ridiculous
spending.
Every time I drive down U.S. 1 though Sebastian, and
Indian River County, I marvel at the number of govern-
ment employees who are doing gardening work in the
medians.
I'm sure these medians were built by well-meant federal


and state grants

but nobody ever thought

From page A6
about who was going to take care of them.
What is ridiculous is that I am sure there are many
landscaping and gardening companies that would be
more than happy to take care of this.
They wouldn't have to worry about paying the huge
pensions, and fringe benefits, etc. that government
employees receive.
The waste is really ridiculous.
If we looked at what we are spending, then maybe we
wouldn't be being taxed so high.
A lot of people talk about how much we ask for. All I
ask for is good, safe roads, safe fire protection, and a clean
environment.
That's all I need, I don't need a lot of other frills.
Let's think about spending, before we think about
taxes.

Let's try tolerance

In response to the "prosecute her" article that was writ-
ten about Nancy Pelosi going to Syria, I would like to com-
ment that for every Jew/Christian it must be remembered
that Syria is not truly an enemy.
It is the birthplace of many of the concepts, and some of
the wisdoms, beliefs, and cultural practices that are in
today's world, as in America, which originate in Syria.
My comment is that we should re-evaluate our own
belief system towards the Arab countries. They are not all
our enemies.
Therefore,' we should attempt, finally, to try to make
allies and develop friendships, instead of wars, and caus-
ing so much animosity.
This is getting people in America absolutely nowhere,
and it is certainly hurting very, very much the Arab coun-
tries.
Instead, let's take time to study ancient history, and the
ancient places, called Syria, Iraq and Iran, from which
most of our belief systems originate.

Even nice people have rants
I look forward to reading the Hometown News every
Friday.
Let the records show that I am truly a wonderful person
(just ask me), but even I have a couple of "rants."
Why do people insist on talking in theatres during the
presentation? It's bad enough at the movies, but even
more annoying when at a live play. I wonder if the actors
like it.
Secondly, Disney Word may be the happiest place on
earth, but it is also probably the germiest.
It puzzles me that the rest rooms all over the park do not
provide hot water for proper hand washing.
New technology for dumb 'n dumber
I am constantly amazed that people have bought into
giving every child with the ability of speech their own cell


phone.
We used to be upset about high school graduates that
couldn't manage their earnings enough to make purchas-
es at the grocery store (revelations of New Math).
Now this text messaging thing is coming back on us. A
generation that can't spell. Text messages are being done
in a kids' shorthand on the newest models of cell phones
(heck, mine only lets me dial a number and call some-
one... no taking pictures, and no playing music).
This "shorthand speak" started in chat rooms on the
Internet, because young kids needed to fake out their
youthful age, and lack of spelling abilities by using a
shorthand talk.
Adult chatters thought they were on the Internet chat-
ting to a person that couldn't type, when actually, it was a
kid trying to find out what it would be like when his voice
changed.
Back to the phones, and text messaging. I have night-
mares of getting a postcard from my future grandchild, on
vacation that starts off RU OK U R M FF G.
My message to parents is forget saving baby-sitting
money with a cell phone, and don't have kids unless you
want to watch them!
If you have kids because you didn't know what caused
the "Happy Face," grow up, and use the old
eyeball method for knowing where your kids are.
If they're too young to be out on their own, don't let
them out of eyesight.
Binoculars don't count.

Enough is enough

I have had enough of kids mourning at Virginia Tech.
It's over, and now it is time to get back to the studies for
which your parents have probably paid a small ransom.
Don't cower back to Mommy and Daddy for comfort,
swearing never to leave the safety of your childhood
room.
There are probably 30,000 students enrolled at Va. Tech,
and my niece was one of them some 10 years ago.
Get over it kids.
In your life, unfortunately, you will experience horrible
things happening from our own countrymen, and those
that will be orchestrated by foreign interests, which will
want to do us harm.
I know those attending the university have probably
enjoyed a rather sheltered life.
They, who grieve with "therapy dogs" brought in for
comfort, should think of some of their high school class-
mates who are dying in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
Thirty-three died last week in that war. The numbers
change from week to week. These brave men and women
have given their lives for our country.
No, it wasn't a senseless shooting, but they died for all of
us.
Their passing is not met with weeping students with no
heart to go on, but grieving parents, wives, and family
who silently accept the flag of one who died with honor.

Thwart the nosey neighbor

This is for the party that needs help with the nosey


neighbor.
I know of may who have had your problem, including
myself.
You've got to get aggressive. I mean, whose life is it, any-
way? Yours.
When you have company do not answer your door, or
your phone.
If this lady knocks or bangs on your door, let her.
When she sees you, and questions you about not
answering the door, answer her with, "Why do you ask,"
or "I do not like to be bothered when I have company."
When she comes over asking to. borrow something, tell
her you don't loan things out. If it is food, tell her you
don't have it.
She tells you to clean or mow? Ask her why she is telling
you this. Let her know that you will do it when you fell the
time is right.
If she asks you to do something for her, tell her that you
are unable. If she asks why, say "why not."
Answering a question with a question always works.
We had a neighbor across the street that sat at her win-
dow day and night watching us. We always waived at her,
and the drapes would close.
Our daughter would return late at night from a date, and
she never failed to throw the neighbor a kiss goodnight.
Funny? Perhaps, but sick, I would say.

Inappropriate display

I just received the paper, and was shocked to see pic-
tures of the ROTC cadets displaying the stars and bars on
one of their flags.
The stars and bars represent the racism that is still here
in this country.
The Confederacy represented people trying to own
other people.
What's next? Should we put up the German flag, the ris-
ing sun, and the Iraq flag? Why don't we display all those
flags, too?
Display the flags of all our enemies. The Confederacy
was an enemy of this United States of America, and I don't
understand why it is still down here in Florida, seeing how
most people here are not form the South. Most are sec-
ond generation, and the younger ones cannot understand
why anyone would display this flag, and slap the face of
the black man.
Also, many of the people from the South who died in
that war were poor dirt farmers who didn't own anyone,
anyway.
Why they fought for that, I haven't a clue.
Poisoned pet food
My rant is about the poisoning of the pet food for the
cats and the dogs.
I am so terribly offended that we can't even made our
own pet food in this country. We are the largest wheat
producer, and we are importing cat and dog food from
Canada, who in turn, is importing wheat gluten from
China.
Why should they be contributing to our pet food when,

rent housing market and
taxes I hope government
officials can do something
to change the tide."
County organizations are
also feeling the crunch and
have had to make some
adjustments to future
budgets.
"Currently our trans-
portation budget is
$800,000 but next year it
will increase to around $1
million," said Kathy Bren-
nan, Public, Information
Officer for the Martin
County School District.
"We are anticipating
increased fuel costs and we
will also need to account
for new busing routes."
The Martin County
School District along with
other county agencies have
been working on collabora-
tive efforts so general serv-
ices are not interrupted. A
cooperative fuel plan with
St. Lucie County allows
both counties to buy gas in
bulk.
"Our last purchase for
fuel was at $1.90 per gallon.
We budgeted $2.17 per gal-
lon. So we're not paying
nearly what the public
pays," said Jenell Atlas,
spokesperson for the Mar-
tin County Sheriff's Office.
"We've been dealing with
the gas issue for years, and
have purchased 24 electric
hybrid cars, switched to a
lower grade gas and make
conservation of fuel a
weekly goal."
Gas prices are dependent
on four basics; cost of
crude oil, federal and state
taxes, the cost of refining
and lastly distribution and
marketing expenses.
According to the U.S.
Department of Energy,
Florida spends less per per-
son on energy than any
other state in the country,
approximately 20 percent
less than the national aver-
age. However, the state tax
rate at 31.9 cents per gallon
is one of the nation's high-
est.
A spot check at press
time of gas stations around
the county show prices
ranging from $2.94 to $3.13
for a gallon of unleaded gas.
The percentage of money
that goes to the federal and
state governments has
decreased in recent years.
The average price Ameri-
cans pay, according to the
EIA, is 19 percent far below
the nearly 32 percent
Floridians currently pay in
taxes on gas.
Martin County is one of
many counties throughout
the U.S. that has joined
forces with the National
Association of Counties
and New American Dream
to implement hybrid cars
for service vehicles .
"Martin County .is
demonstrating the impor-
tance of making alternative
fuel plans which will trans-
late into fiscal saving in the
long' run," said Tim
Sanchez, Senior Marketing
and Communication
Director for New American
Dream. "I think it's an
important message for
counties around the coun-
try to gear toward conser-
vation."
The federal government
offers tax deductions for
hybrid cars and is offering
tax incentives for business-
es that invest in hydrogen
technologies.
Florida also has three
nuclear power plants, and
is developing one of the
cleanest coal-fired power
plants in the world.

The tide is turning
The Republicans are in trouble.
Their fearless leader, George W. Busch, has made very
few honest decisions in the time he has been in the White
House.
The corruption is running rampant, and the dishonesty
is beyond belief.-
The Republican Party is turning into a shambles.
In the latest poll, the people were asked if they vote for a
Democrat or a Republican for the next president.
Of those polled, 52 percent said they would vote for a
Democrat, and 36 percent said they would vote for a
Republican.
The tide is turning, and the Republicans are going to
have to do something to get honesty, decency, and
respect back into the ranks of the Republican Party.

ing of an additional office
in Okeechobee.
This location will be an
addition to the firm's pres-
ent Palm City location.

tin and St. Lucie county

nity. There are presently
over 20,000 new homes

My tribute to the greatest 'car gu'


Jim Moran died at age
88 on Tuesday morn-
ing, April 24. Jim Moran
is a common Irish name,
but this Jim Moran was a
very uncommon Irishman.
He was the founder of
the JM Family in Deerfield
Beach, which is made up
of several companies, the
largest being Southeast
Toyota. They distribute
new Toyotas to all the
dealers in the southeast
United States. His compa-
ny was just ranked the
18th largest privately
owned company in
America. He was a multi-
billionaire when he died.
I first met Jim Moran at
a meeting for Pontiac
dealers in Fort Lauderdale
more than 40 years ago.
Jim had recently moved
down from Chicago where
he had sold Courtesy Ford,
which he built to become
the largest Ford dealership
in the world. Previously, he
had done the same with a
Hudson dealership.
Jim grew up in Chicago.
His parents were poor, but
he worked hard at various
jobs, saving his money
until he could buy a
Sinclair gas station. He
began selling a few used
cars from his gas station
and that's what motivated
him to buy a small Hudson
dealership.
The reason Jim moved
to Florida in the early 60s,
was his doctor telling him
that he had cancer and as
little as six months to live.
After he sold his Ford
dealership and moved to
Florida, he found out his
doctor was mistaken. So,
Jim got back into the car
business.
First, he bought a small
Pontiac dealership in
Homestead. He soon sold
that for a nice profit and
built the biggest Pontiac
dealership in the U.S. in


support structure for
dealers including a finance
company, insurance
company, car accessory
company, JM Lexus (the
largest Lexus dealership in
the world) and a port
preparation company. His
other companies are now
nationwide and service all
makes of cars, not just
Toyota.


EARL STEWART
On Cars


Hollywood. He set his
sights on his next project
to be the firstVolkswagen
dealership on Miami
Beach.
Back in the 60s, theVW
franchise was the most
profitable franchise
around. Volkswagen
turned him down, so he
took the money he had
planned to invest in the
VW dealership, $100,000,
and bought a distributor-
ship for a Japanese car that
very few people had even
heard of named Toyota.
The rest is history.
Some will say that Jim
Moran was just plain
lucky. Nobody wanted a
Toyota distributorship in
the 60s. The quality of
Toyotas at that time was
terrible and big American
cars dominated the
market. He may have been
lucky, but he was also very,
very smart, worked very
hard and I have never
known anyone so focused
on success.
Beyond this, he was
blessed with the God-
given talents of extreme
charisma and the ability to
find, train and motivate
great people to work for
him. He built a network of
dealers to sell Toyotas in
Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
and South and North
Carolina. He also built a


I like to think I had a
special relationship with
Jim Moran. We were both
"just a couple of Pontiac
dealers" when we met.
I bought my Toyota
dealership in North Palm
Beach/Lake Park in 1975.
Those were the "wild and
wooly days" in the car

Rants & Raves
From page A9


Firefighters, police,
teachers should have
affordable housing
I do not usually respond
to editorials although my
gut reaction often says I
should.
However, the selfishness


and insensitivity of the
April 13 rant, "Affordable
Housing" requires a
response.
I am a retiree and most
appreciative of the protec-
tion I receive from our fire-
fighters, police officers and
other professionals and
realize the importance of
teachers in our society.
Although I was fortunate
enough to purchase my
home when prices were
more realistic, I could not
do so today.
To accuse the individuals


noted above of crying and
wanting to buy luxury
homes is beyond my belief.
The writer may have
come from up North where
these wage earners could
easily afford a home at
Florida prices (they can no
longer do so in their home
states since prices have
risen commensurately with
each region). The surge in
prices make this difficult in
the current market with the
salaries they earn.
In order for us to attract
the best and the brightest,


we either need to offer
them salaries that allow
them to own a home or
provide affordable housing.
To shirk this responsibility
will leave us continually
understaffed in these fields.
We keep hearing the pub-
lic ask why we cannot find
good teachers, etc.
Well, how can you expect
them to put up with the
abuse the public often gives
them and not provide them
with either salaries or
affordable homes to attract
them to our area?

Hours of operation for
the interactive fountain at
Indian RiverSide Park has
been reduced by 20 per-
cent.
Even though the county
is allowed to irrigate with
reclaimed water at any
time, the County Adminis-
trator has restricted the
use of reclaimed water to
nighttime only.
In anticipation of water
restrictions, the Field
Operations Division set all
streetscape irrigation sys-
tems, such as those in
medians, to run three
times a week.
Parks staff has been
aggressively inspecting,
repairing and adjusting
irrigation systems to maxi-


mize efficiency and com-
ply with water restrictions.
While only required for
new irrigation systems,
the Parks and Recreation
Department has installed
rain sensors on all park
irrigation systems.
The irrigation system at
Indian RiverSide Park was
recently renovated and
now utilizes stormwater
runoff collected in the
park's lakes for irrigation.
The latest technology in
irrigation systems is incor-
porated in all new park
development specifica-
tions. This would include
items such as specialized
irrigation heads that auto-
matically shut themselves
off when damaged.

Following inner voice leads


to great trip to South Africa


I never really knew I
wanted to go to South
Africa.
It all came about one
night as the midnight
deadline approached to
use 25,000 frequent flier
miles or lose them.
Since my personal rule is
to never use frequent flier
miles for anything mun-
dane, and knowing that
25,000 miles could get me
anywhere within any
continent, I suddenly said,
"I want a ticket from Cairo
to Johannesburg."
I did?
Suddenly I had a ticket
to a place I never even
knew I wanted to visit.
Initially I planned to
tour Cape Town, the wine
region and drive the
garden route. But then I
realized I'd be tired after
leading a trip to Egypt, so I
chose a peaceful week of
safaris instead.
I planned to stay
overnight in Johannesburg
and then fly out to some of
the best game parks and
lodges in the world.
Cape Town would have
to wait.
It was a good plan until
my flight was delayed in
Cairo, causing missed
flights and lost luggage for
three days.
Also, I had picked up the
early stages of the flu. So I
was thrilled when I finally
landed at the tiny airport
of Nelspuit, considered the
gateway to the South
African bush.
After two stressful days, I
could have wept at the
peaceful beauty surround-
ing me.
I certainly wasn't in
Cairo anymore!
Then I was driven to the
cozy Crocodile Co u n t rv
Inn, where I was given the
bridal suite and treated
like a queen.
After a day of down time,
I was ready to explore.
Fritz, who owns Gogo
Phansi Tours, took me on
what's called the
"panoramic tour" in his
BMW.
Everything was so lush
as we visited charming
places like Hazyview,
Pilgrims Rest, Blyde River
Canyon, Gods Window
and Sudwala Caves.
Fritz was a kind, knowl-
edgeable guide whom I'd
highly recommend.
Besides the normal
sights, he noted how
fascinated I was with the
colorful black townships.
So, the next day on our
way to Kruger National
Park, he purposely took
me through many of them.
Next time I must visit
some of the surrounding
tribal villages and tour
Soweto.
Eventually we arrived at
Kruger and I liked every-

thing I saw, from the
riverside cabins, to the
tents, to restaurants and
stores. A stay there looked
like a fun, affordable way
to go on safari.
The only problem with
Kruger is the roads are
paved, restricting you from
going off-road in search of
animals.
But let me tell you, I saw
some of the best game of
my whole trip that after-
noon.
Fritz and I quickly saw
12 species including
impala, giraffe, elep nts,
monkeys, warthogs and
zebra.
Then we saw a safari
vehicle, stopped up ahead
watching two female lions
dozing on the side of the
road. I just knew there
were cubs and suddenly
three walked right out in
front of us. Eventually,
their mothers followed,
but not before we'd spent a
half hour watching them.
As we left the park and
headed to my lodge, we
were even graced by a
leopard crossing our path.
My home for two nights
was Inyati Game Lodge. It
was a charming place with
lovely canopied beds and
big bathrooms.
The staff was friendly
and the dinners in the
sandy boma (campfire
area) were superb.
Mostly it was the eclectic
group of people from
Argentina, England and
Denmark that made
everything so much fun.
We saw lots of animals in
two days: wildebeest,
crocodiles, leopard,
giraffes, zebra and buffalo.
The most amazing
experience was when our
safari vehicle lumbered up
onto a huge rock. Our
tracker had seen two male
lions approaching.
Warned to stay still, we
were fine until two females
followed and circled our
open vehicle within
inches. We all gasped, but
eventually let out a sigh of
relief when we realized
they just wanted to sun
themselves on the rock.
Then 10 cubs of various
ages came out from the


bushes to join their
parents. So, for the next
hour, we sat circled by our
lazy lion family, taking
photos and being totally
enthralled by the experi-
ence.
Soon it was time to leave
Inyati and head to my next
lodge called Sabi Sabi. It
was an exquisite place
with huge suites, great
service and elegant.
restaurants all overlooking
the bush.
As I was eating lunch, I
introduced myself to a
couple and found out that
Renee was a local travel
agent and thus a great
resource.
We were assigned the
same game drives and
soon became inseparable.
On our first drive we saw
elephants, leopards and a
large pride of lions before
we ended after dark.
This was my first night-
time safari and it was
fascinating.
Over the next few days
we saw giraffe, elephants,
zebra, many birds. My
personal lion count
blossomed to 44 for the
week!
Next I stayed at Lion
Sands, another beautiful
lodge in another gorgeous
setting. Keep in mind there
are many lodges to choose
from all with exotic names
such as Mala Mala, Ngala,
Londolozi and Djuma. It's
up to you.
As my time in South
Africa was ending, I was
getting sicker.
Generously, Renee and
her husband insisted I
cancel my hotel and stay
with them in Johannes-
burg.
Still I had to drag myself
onto the plane the next
day for my long flight
home, praying there would
be no more delays or lost
luggage. There weren't.
When I think back on
the wonderful things I saw
in South Africa and the
kind people I met, I can't
wait to return.
I am proud that I didn't
let illness, lost luggage or
delayed flights ruin my
journey.
Mostly I am pleased that
I listened to that inner
voice that said one night,
"I want a ticket from Cairo
to Johannesburg," even
when I didn't know I did.

Summer Travel Can


Equal Credit Trouble if


Approached Carelessly


(Syndicated News) Summer travel often
means more than pleasant days spent
lounging in the sun --' for most individu-
als, it means an increase in credit card
bills. This is especially true of families.
Some financial experts estimate the aver-
age family of four spends $1,491 on a one-
week vacation, most of which is placed on
credit cards. While using credit cards for
travel has traditionally been labeled as a
smart move by some as it reduces risks
associated with cash and traveler's checks
-- many individuals end up paying their
original travel expenses many times over
through the accompanying interest that
develops from unpaid bills. "
"Summer vacations are somewhat simi-
lar to holiday spending," says David
McElveen, spokesperson for
CreditCardSearchEngine.com. "There's
that 'credit hangover' effect -- people
place more on their cards than they
should, then they come home and end up
paying high interest rates on their credit


card bills. In worst case scenarios, people
ruin their credit because they can't afford
to make payments on the bills they racked
up while traveling."
CreditCardSearchEngine.com provides
its customers with a database of major
credit cards to choose from and apply for.
The site has cards of all types based on
people's varying needs. Frequent travelers,
for example, can search through a wide
variety of travel reward cards while indi-
viduals with bad credit can find special-
ized cards to fit their needs. The variety of
cards on the site, says McElveen, perfectly
compliments individuals who plan to use
credit for summer travel.
"The more educated a person is about
their card options, the less chance they
have for running into credit trouble,"
states McElveen. "With the right card in
hand summer travel can be exactly what
it's supposed to be -- stress-free, pleasura-
ble and safe."

Every mother deserves special treatment on May 13


This week's column is
dedicated to one of
God's most special
people: mothers.
Being a mom is one of
the hardest and most
important jobs. And it is
just that, a job.
Eventually, you get back
what you put in, but
doesn't it seem like a long,
hard haul sometimes?
I've done the job and
now I have four beautiful,
caring, loving, competent
and successful adults who
think I'm the greatest.
Gone are the days when
they didn't think I was
capable of crossing the
street or tying my
shoelaces. You see, it does
payoff.
This column on Mother's
Day is for the men and


children out there. If they
haven't read my column
yet, show them this one.
I've heard some men say,
"She's not my mother,"
about their wives. That may
be so, but she's the mother
of your children, and you
should make her feel.
special.
If you know a woman
who is a mom, do some-
thing special for her. She
will feel cared about and
you will feel very good
about yourself.
This doesn't have to be
difficult. Just remember,
she should not cook a meal
or wash a dish.
A child can pour a bowl
of cereal, draw a special
picture and deliver both to
his mom. Men shouldn't
use the excuse that they


can't cook.
You can make shrimp
cocktail. Cooked, peeled'
and frozen shrimp are
available in all supermar-
kets. They're delicious,
especially if followed by a
grilled steak.
You can wrap washed
potatoes in foil and put
them on the grill, bake
them in the oven or you
can make my husband's
homemade French fries.
How impressive is that?
Packaged salad greens
are ready for serving. Some
even include the dressing.
Top the meal off with a
store-bought cake or you
can make a pineapple pie.
We may not be talking
low-fat here, but we are
talking something special.
If your budget allows,

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers.
Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't
know me, I should tell you that I don't profess
to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who
was always perfect for the past 38 years.
When I look at some of my past advertising
and sales tactics, I am not always proud.
But I have evolved as my customers have
evolved. My customers' expectations, level
-J 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.

how to run your business I "My CU

fee is simply to increase the price of the car
T and your profit in such a manner that lit is not
noticed by your customers This is just plain
wrong I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
and when I stopped charging II a lew 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
correct

Now, here Is the good news. After eliminat-
ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop
by about the amount of the dealer fee, but
my customers realized I was now giving them
a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the-
door price with no "surprises". And the word
spread. My volume of car sales began to rise
rapidly. Sure, I was making a few hundred
dollars less per car,' but I was selling a lot
more cars. I was and am selling cars to many
of your former customers. My bottom line
has improved, not because I eliminated the
dealer fee, but because I was
toners' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
ons, level or used car. You can do the
tion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
2tion are I think of myself as the new
"sheriff" that has come to
er today." "clean up South Florida". In
lact, 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.

dinner out is a great treat.
Any relationship is a give
and take affair and I
promise you, if you don't
give you don't get.
I was married to my
husband, Bill, for many,
many years. On special
occasions, such as Mother's
Day, I was served breakfast
in bed and he prepared
dinner for the entire family.
Sounds corny? It's not..It's
how you tell someone you
love them.
Before we get to these
great recipes, I would like
to honor the special moms
in my world.
To my mom, Kitty, who is
98 years young, thank you
for passing on your incredi-
ble cooking and sewing
skills.
To my beautiful and only
daughter, Kimberly, a
single mom who's done a
great job, and to my
daughters-in-law, Sally,
Lisa and Jennifer who are
all superb mothers.
Honor your mothers and
the special ladies in your
life.

COCKTAIL SAUCE
What is shrimp cocktail
without a good sauce? You
can buy it or make your
own.
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon horseradish
A dash or two of Worcester-
shire sauce
Juice of half a lemon or 1
tablespoon lemon juice
concentrate
Dash of hot sauce
Mix all together. Adjust
ingredients as desired.
Chill. When ready to serve,
thaw shrimp and arrange
over lettuce leaves, add a
wedge of lemon and sauce
in the center.

GRILLED STEAK (NIB)
SERVES 4
This is my late husband,
Bill's, recipe.

1 (2 pound) bone in or (1-
1/2 to 1-3/4 pound)
boneless sirloin steak or
any steak you choose
Meat tenderizer*
Black pepper
Soy sauce
Jarred horseradish

O hour before cook-
ing, t iderize steaks as
explained on the bottle.
Sprinkle with pepper and
drizzle with soy sauce. Be
sure to coat both sides.
Let sit at room tempera-
ture.
Grill or broil steak until
cooked as desired.**
Serve with horseradish.
Meat tenderizer is not
harmful, it is made from
the enzyme in papaya.
**Hint from my daughter
Kim: For rare steak, grill
one side just until you see
the blood come up, turn
steak and watch for the


same thing.
Press the heel of your
hand, the way it gives will
tell you whether the meat is
medium-rare or medium.
Medium rare: Pressure
on the steak will sink as
deep as heavy pressure on
the heel of your hand.
Medium: Pressure on the
steak will sink as deep as a
medium pressure on the
hand.
Well: Pressing the steak is
as firm as the palm of the
hand.

FRENCH FRIES
SERVES 4
When potatoes are fried,
acrylamides form from a
naturally occurring amino
acid called asparagines,
which have been proven to
be carcinogens.
A study by the Journal of

Agriculture found that if
the potatoes are micro

Software maintenance requires step-by-step procedures


Sam often asked what
steps to take on a
regular basis to keep
systems up and running.
Many are surprised to
find out that the typical
PC will degrade over time
and eventually get to the
point where it's difficult to
operate.
I don't know if people
just assume that their
machine is like a VCR or a
TV that works the same
way over and over.
Actually, a PC is more
like a car.
It requires periodic
preventative maintenance
just to keep things going.
It's the same with
computers.
Neglect the basic
preventative maintenance
steps and soon you will
find yourself with a sick or
barely operable machine.
So, what are these steps
that need to be taken?
With a car, everything is
mechanical, but how does
one change the oil or
rotate the tires on their
PC?
Mechanical things on a
PC tend to work pretty
well without much main-
tenance.
Keeping your computer
free of dust helps, and
cleaning the floppy or CD
drives can correct some
issues.
However, the things I'm
talking about are more
software related.
There are two sides to a
computer: things that are
hardware related and the
programs (software) that
make the hardware
function.
Again, there isn't a lot of
maintenance needed for
the hardware, but the
software, on the other
hand, needs a bit of
attention.
Neglecting to dust off
your monitor isn't really
going to cause any harm,
but neglect to update your
anti-virus software or your
operating system and you
may soon find yourself
with a machine that won't
cooperate anymore.
Let's go over a couple of
the critical pieces of the
software puzzle that need
regular attention.

Operating system

First and foremost, we
have the operating system.

Palm Beach Gardens thru Ormond.Beach


The most prolific by far
is Windows from
Microsoft.
Over the years, we've
seen many versions of
Windows and it really
doesn't matter if you are
running Windows 95, 98,
ME, 2000, XP or Windows
Vista, they all need some
basic maintenance.
As Windows runs, it's
constantly changing
things, making little notes
to itself and more. Left
alone, this operating
system environment will
eventually degrade to the
point that the machine
responds sluggish or not at
all.
Temporary files can
grow and permanent
storage (the hard drive)
can become fragmented
bringing the system to a
crawl.
Periodically running
disk cleanup, Scan Disk.'
and defrag will help keep
some of the behind-the-
scenes things optimized
and help keep the com-
puter healthy.
Also let's not forget the
updates. Microsoft is
constantly upgrading its
operating systems.
Ignoring these updates


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This

can leave your machine
vulnerable to security
flaws and bugs in the
system.
Since the operating
system is an extremely
complex piece of software
there are always things to
fix. Mostof the time, the
patches released will fix
something you won't
notice. Sometimes the
update makes some
radical changes to the
system.
Overall the updates are
best not to ignore.

Anti-virus programs

Like the operating
system, your anti-virus


program will receive
updates constantly.
" Every time a new virus is
discovered, whoever
makes your program will
publish an update to deal
with the new threat.
Not updating leaves
your machine open to all
manner of new viruses.
This is one of the main
reasons why a computer
that has an anti-virus
program installed can still
get infected. It's not good
enough just to have the
program. It absolutely has
to be up to date.
Prepare to spy
A third piece of software
that needs to be run from
time to time is a spy ware
sweeper.
There are many to
choose from, but I prefer
LavaSoft's Adaware
Like an anti-virus
program, the spy ware
sweeper must be updated
every time you use it.

What you should do

This is what I do every
month to keep my system
healthy.
Start the machine in


"safe mode" (press the F8
key as the system boots
up).
Turn off the screen
saver.
Click the start button.
Go to programs.
Then to accessories
To system tools.
Run disk cleanup. This
frees up space by elimi-
nating the temporary files
that have accumulated.
Run scan disk.
Run defrag.
Run Adaware, letting it
update.


Do a full system scan.
Make sure my anti-
virus is up-to-date.
Do a full anti-virus
scan.
Taking these steps every
couple months will go a
long way to keeping your
machine healthy and
running smoothly.
Will it solve all prob-
lems? No, but it's a start.

C cholesterol is a word
we hear in commer-

and by now, we all know
that high levels of the bad
kind are not good for you.
Sometimes it is hard to
sort out what it all really
means, so I'll try to give
some of the basics.
Cholesterol is a soft,

good health.
In addition to the
cholesterol produced by
the body, we get choles-
terol from eating animal
products such as meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, butter,
cheese and whole milk.
When cholesterol levels
are too high, the risk of
heart disease rises.
Cholesterol is measured
with a simple blood test
that tells your doctor
about the two kinds of
cholesterol: HDL or the
good kind and the LDL,
the bad kind.
HDL stands for high-
density lipoprotein, and is
considered good because
it seems to protect against
heart disease, perhaps by
carrying cholesterol away
from the arteries and back
to the liver, where it can
be passed from the body.
LDL, or low-density
lipoprotein, is considered
bad because high levels
are linked to heart dis-
ease. It can build up
slowly in the blood and in
the inner walls of the
arteries that feed the
heart and brain.
Mixed with other
substances, it can form
plaque, a thick, hard
deposit that can clog
arteries. This is known as
atherosclerosis.
If a clot forms and
blocks an artery that has
been narrowed by plaque,
it can cause a heart attack
or stroke.
Since it is the LDL, or
bad cholesterol, that most
affects your risk of heart
attack and stroke it's that
number that is the most
important.
The lower your LDL
cholesterol, the lower
your risk.
While the doctor may
give you a total blood
cholesterol number,
which combines the HDL
and LDL numbers, you
want to pay special
attention to the LDL
number.
According to the Ameri-
can Heart Association, an
LDL level of 130-159
mg/dL is borderline high;
a level of 160-189 is high
and a level of more than


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
190 is very high.
If your health care
provider says your LDL
level is too high, you may
be put on a diet low in
saturated fat and choles-
terol as well as on a
weight-management and
exercise program.
If these are not suffi-
cient to lower your LDL
levels, medication may be
prescribed.
If your HDL, or good
cholesterol, levels are too
low, you may also be at
risk for heart disease.
If your physician says
you need to try to raise
those levels, you can help
by not smoking, main-
taining a healthy weight
and staying active at least
30 to 60 minutes a day
most days.
The same regimen that
helps lower bad choles-
terol can help raise the
good.
This is a lot to take it,
which is why I've broken
the subject down into
basic information.
Keep in mind that
prevention is the best
medicine.
Lower your risk by
eating fewer saturated fats
and exercising.

cholesterol and heart
disease, contact the

From page Al 11
business. Jim Moran was
an advertising genius as
well as a car genius. His
marketing and advertising
techniques were copied by
the Japanese to increase
the sales of Toyotas in the
rest of the U.S. when they
realized that Southeast
Toyota was outselling
every other region.
The "Toyotathon" was
invented by Jim Moran.
Top Toyota Japanese
management had huge
respect for Jim Moran.
"Moran san," they called
him. He coached them on
styling and designing
Toyotas to suit American
taste. He often flew to
Tokyo in his private
Gulfstream jet to meet
with the top management
of Toyota.
Jim Press, the highest
ranking American in
Toyota and the only non-
Japanese member of
Toyota's board of directors,
was sent to work for Jim
Moran at Southeast Toyota
while he was being
groomed for top manage-
ment. It is a fact that Jim
Moran positively and
significantly affected the
success of Toyota in
America.
This is one of literally
hundreds of eulogies that
will be written about this
man.
Most will paint him to
be perfect, a man for all

5 large potatoes, peeled or

3 cups canola oil

Soak cut potatoes in ice

In a medium saucepan

NOTE: The oil can be
refrigerated and used again

Put just enough potatoes
in oil to cook evenly. Fry
until lightly golden.
Remove with a slotted
spoon and place in a bowl.
Continue until all potatoes
are cooked.
When almost ready to
serve, heat the oil until it is
very hot and quickly fry
potatoes a little at a time
until crisp and golden
brown. Drain on paper bag
or paper towels.

GINA THOMPSON'S
PINEAPPLE PIE (NIB)
Regular and low-fat
Serves 8-10
If you can't cook, but
have 10 minutes, you can
make this superb dessert.
By using fat-free sour
cream and a low-fat
graham cracker pie shell
you will have a rich tasting
yet low-fat dessert.
Pudding is, and always
has been, fat-free.

seasons and all things to
all people. They will write
about his charitable
contributions, his family
and all of those good
things he did during his
life, which were signifi-
cant.
Because I knew Jim for a
longer time than most,
and because I knew him
very early in his career, I
have a different perspec-
tive.
Back in those days, the
rules of the game were a
little looser than they are
today. There were fewer
laws and regulations. It
was the wild, wild west
when it came to marketing
cars. Jim Moran was
blessed with incredible
talents, including charis-
ma, drive and intelligence.
He was the most competi-
tive man I have ever
known: the Michael
Jordan or Tiger Woods of
the car business.
As with all great per-
formers, he loved doing
what he did better than
anything. Yes, anything.
Everything else in this
great man's life was
secondary to his becom-
ing the very biggest and
best Hudson dealer, Ford
dealer, Pontiac dealer,
Lexus dealer or Toyota
distributor in the world.
Underneath the
smooth facade was
always the rough, tough
Chicago Irishman. I don't
believe it is possible to
be the best in the world
at anything unless you


cream
1 large (5-serving) package
vanilla instant pudding
1 (20-ounce) can crushed
pineapple in its own

Whipped topping
The pie shell does not
require baking, but I have
found that 10 minutes in a
350-degree F, pre-heated
oven will give you a crisper
more flavorful crust.
While the shell is baking,
blend sour cream with


are blessed or is it
cursed with this kind
of focus and ambition.
The last conversation
I had with Jim Moran was
his phone call to me
about a year and a half
ago. He heard I had just
recovered from colon
cancer surgery and
called to ask how I was
doing and wish me well.
He reminded me about
his doctors in Chicago
telling him that he had
cancer and as little as six
months to live more than
40 years ago. He congrat-
ulated me on my dealer-
ship's great increase in
sales since I moved into
my new, much larger
dealership. Then he said
to me, "Earl, I've been
telling you to build that
new dealership for the
last 10 years!" We both
laughed.
I am proud and lucky
to have known Jim
Moran. I learned a huge
amount from him and I
would have to say that he
had a greater influence on
my business life than
anyone, except my father.

tance the night before.
Then the next morning
after a good breakfast,
they take action on the
most important thing on
their list before the world
gets in the way.
If they get three things
done at the top of the list,
they are happy.
Then it's time to play.
They take an exercise,
dance, yoga or creative
class. They ride their
bicycles. They spend time
with family or friends, or
just do nothing. They don't
feel guilty about making
quality time for them-
selves.

Bottom of the list

What about the things
on the list that didn't get
done?
Some might get done by
others. Some might go
away. However, if they
keep coming up on your
daily list, wait until they
get to the top before
addressing them. Worry is
an unwise choice.

Don't live a dual life

Living by the mind
instead of by the heart and
instinct is the main reason
we worry.
It divides us into living a
life-of duality instead of
wholeness and unity.
Our head tells us one
thing and our heart tells us
another. Which one
should we listen to?
The starting point to
living a healthy, balanced
life begins when we follow
our heart instead of the
head. Surrendering to the
deeper powers, creates


JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide

patience, trust and faith in
the universal spirit of life.
We let this spirit work for
us and through us.

Making a change

Change comes from
desire, not from thought
or fear. So much time and,
energy is wasted trying to
change what has already
happened.
We are bombarded in
the world with quick fixes.
The past is the past,
A healthy approach is to:
Learn from it, bless it for
what it taught us, forgive it
instead of judging it,
release it and move on to
create a new and better
cause and purpose. This is
the way the earth lives.
Learn from nature
Mother Nature is one
smart lady when we are
open to learning the
secrets of life from her.
These secrets are inside
every one of us from birth.
Our main job in life
should be to go inside,
bring them out and set
them free.
The result is living a life


of positive causes instead
of quick fixes.
This creates a respect for
all forms of life. Respect is
the foundation for love,
and love creates honor
and human dignity.
We have great riches
living in our hearts and
souls, and it has a lot more
to it than making money.
Money is the effect of
your cause.

Make a list of causes

Take an inventory of
your causes.
Spiritual causes are love,
peace, health, abundance,
faith, joy and creativity. To
live a life with these as the
top values should be the
goal of everyone on earth.
Hate, war, disease,
poverty, fear, sadness, and
hopeless are not the
opposites of the spiritual
causes. They are the lack
of them. It all comes down
to what we feed.
What we send out comes
back multiplied to the
source. This is the
supreme law.

Make a choice
It all comes down to the
choices we make. Living a
life of spiritual causes
starts with being in tune
with Mother Nature and
letting the divine laws flow
through us and work for
us.
Here are the priorities:
First: The universal
spirit.
Second: Family.
Third: The world.
Without the rich her-

you along the way. Help
them so they can help

Week of 05-04-07
Aries-March 21-April 19
Allow the brilliance of your own spirit to keep you focused on
your highest dreams. Stay in touch with the most burning
desires in your heart and keep bringing them to life. Many bless-
ings and abundance will continue to come as the result. Then
find ways to give back as you have been given. In the giving it all
comes back 10 times again. This is the supreme law and the
best way for Aries to live. Being of service is a greater cause than
the effects of personal gain.
Taurus-April 20-May 20
It's your turn at the helm of the zodiac now. With the sun and
Mercury both in Taurus it gives you power, balance and strong
clear thoughts and ideas. Be open to change. Let it carry you on
and up to greater heights. Rise above any real or imaginary
obstacles. Refuse to let small things pull you down. Be sure to


give thanks daily for all that you have, no matter how much or
how little. Gratitude insures that more is on the way. Now all
continues to be well.
Gemini-May 21-June 21
Pacing yourself is the key to getting more important things
done. It isn't necessary to try to do everything at once. This only
wears you out and causes frustration. Most of the things you
worry about never happen anyway. Separate the positive things
in your heart from the negatives in the mind. Then prioritize the
positives. Work on the three most important positives each day.
Lesser things can wait This is the winning formula for most suc-
cessful people.
Cancer-June 22-July 22
Keep the ideas flowing from the heart and the light bulbs will
continue to turn on and give you fresh, inspirations. One good
idea usually gives birth to others around and related to it This
flow keeps you creative, moving forward and happy. You are
well loved by the universe because of the great love in you for
family and friends. Continue to work from the inside out and
this divine guidance will continue to lift you to even greater
heights.
Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Your strong fiery spirit is a deep well when needed. It gives you
the grit and determination to keep going when you have chal-
lenges to face, deal with and overcome. Your power of choice is
running high right now. Listen to and trust your gut instincts and
you will continue to receive much help and support in your per-


sonal and professional life. You are always there for others.
Don't be shy about asking for a little help when you need it
That's what friends are for.
Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept 22
Measure the quality of life by the joy you feel in your heart.
When you want more happiness, pause, take a deep breath,
regroup and then move forward again with new focus on the
things you truly love. Put them first. Put lesser things second.
This empowers your life. Live within your means. Do this and
your strong responsible nature will continue to see you through
and help bring your goals to completion. You are a winner in life
because you finish what you start.
Ubra-Sept 23-Oct 22
When you answer your inner calling, you rise up, no matter what
real or imaginary challenges seem to be in the way. You have
the courage and all the inner strength needed to get the job
done and live a high quality life. Your judgment is strong. You are
more than fair to everyone. This has been proven time and time
again. You have two of the most wonderful possessions anyone
can have. It's a great heart and spirit Nothing can hold these
back for long.
Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Two of your greatest gifts are eternal optimism and the abili-
ty to make wise choices. When you have choices to make
and you let the answers come from within you are using

Complete with cowbell, Megan Moran auditions for a role in 'RENT -School Edition' in
front of Peter and Jennifer Jones of StarStruck Productions. The groundbreaking show
will be the first to feature high school actors.


Rent
From page BI


tive director of the per-
forming arts center, is
thrilled at the opportunity
this creates for the stu-
dents and for the school.
"We'll be the first cast in
the world to do this," she
says. "We'll be working
with MTI and the estate of
Jonathan Larson, the
composer, on the creative
process of developing the
school edition. It will be
somewhat different from
the Broadway version;
they've cut some or the
curse words and some of
the sexual contact, but the
integrity of the show has
remained the same. It still
deals with homosexuality,
AIDS, and poverty. The
reason teenagers flip over
it is the whole Bohemian,
anti-establishment thing.
Young people 'especially
theater kids, love that
whole creative scene."
Ms. Jones says that
while the material and the
language are mature and
of a sexual nature, the
show is positive and
upbeat.
"Certain things have to
stay," she says. "It's about
a group of starving actors,
writers and dancers trying
to find their way in the
world. What keeps them
together is the bond of
friendship and love. It's
fun; it deals with love.
"Rent" is about the
essence of love, the love of
friendship. People can feel
love on many levels."
The show is a rock opera
and is entirely performed
in song. That keeps the
pace fast and makes it a
challenge to keep the
story lines clear. Ms. Jones
plans to do a synopsis for
those unfamiliar with the
show or the movie.

South Fork to hold

plant sale fundraiser


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS
The South Fork High
School Horticulture
Department will hold its
annual plant sale
fundraiser on Saturday,
May 12, from 8 a.m. to 3
p.m.
The sale will include
plants grown by the stu-
dents along with other
vendors that offer
orchids, rare fruit trees,
perennials and annuals,
flowering trees, pottery,
and garden art. Students
are responsible for prop-
er care of the plant mate-
rial that is sold at the
plant sale.
The entry fee is $1 per
vehicle.
South Fork and Martin
County high school's
learning lab, the Horti-
culture and Sports Turf
Complex, is a 25-acre


education model that
includes a citrus grove, a
working plant nursery, a
shade house, and a prop-
agation house.
Students study the aca-
demics to develop skills
vital to the practices per-
formed in three horticul-
ture areas: ornamental
plant nursery operations,
landscape operations and
turf grass management.
The program aims to pre-
pare students for the hor-
ticulture workforce.
The program has
received support from
the Treasure Coast Golf
Course Superintendent's
Association, plant nurs-
eries, landscape compa-
nies, industry profession-
als and suppliers. These
organizations have sup-
plied plant materials and
equipment whenever

to 2007 All-American team


All-Star game to
be broadcast on
national TV
BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
Glen Johnson has made
a habit of getting the big
hit or making the big stop
for the South Fork Bull-
dogs baseball team the
last four years.
On June 4, he gets to
show off his skills before a
national television audi-
ence.
Johnson was selected to
participate in the 2007 All-
American Baseball Game
presented by PlayStation
in Albuquerque, N.M. this
summer. The game will be
broadcast live on Fox
Sports Net.
"Back in February, our
company, Sports Link,
nominated 100 players
from across the country,"
said media representative
Marcus Ranalli before a
small crowd of teachers,
students and coaches in
the court yard at South
Fork April 25. "We nar-
rowed that down to 40
and we are happy to
announce that South Fork
High School has an All-
American infielder, Glen
Johnson." ,
The shortstop said he


was surprised to get the
call last month about
playing in the game, and
even more surprised by
the crowd and media
attention that came with
being named an All-
American.
"It was kind of a shock,
you don't really think
about those things during
the baseball season."
Johnson said after don-
ning his All-American Jer-
sey for the first time. "I
just play ball, I don't try to
get a big head or any-
thing. I just play and
whatever happens, hap-
pens."
Johnson has been on
the Bulldogs varsity roster
since he was a freshman,
and this season has
helped lead the team to
its first regional appear-
ance since 2000.
The senior batted .315
with two home runs in the
regular season
"Glen has been a great
player out there for us,"
said South Fork head
coach Mike Harper. "You
always preach to your
kids, when you work
hard, things payoff. This
is one of the payoffs right
now for him. The extra
ground balls he took, the
extra rips after practice,
he's just a good kid."
The All-American Base-
ball Game presented by


PlayStation is 'in its fifth
year. and is considered
one of the premier all-
star showcases for high
school baseball
prospects.
Eighty-eight former All-
Americans were drafted
by major league baseball
out of high school,
including 18 first-round
selections, the most
famous being New York
Mets outfielder, Lastings
Milledge.
As an added bonus,.
South Fork High School
also received a PlaySta-
-tion 2 that can be used as
a learning tool. But
before then, Harper plans
to let students play the
console as a fundraiser.
Each student will be
charged a dollar or two
and the profit going
'towards the baseball pro-
gram said Harper.
Johnson; the son of for-
mer major league all-star
Howard Johnson and cur-
rent New York Mets first
base coach, is ranked as a
top 100 high school
prospect by Baseball
America and likely will be
taken in this summer's
major league baseball
draft. The Martin County
native has plans to attend
Division I-AAA Jack-
sonville University in the
fall to play shortstop and
third base.

Soccer academy


offers full

BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
For the last decade, youth
and high school soccer on
the Treasure Coast has been
the only venue for local tal-
ent to get out and partici-
pate. But Port St. Lucie resi-
dents Andre Ruette and Pete
Marino plan to change all
that this year.
On May 19 the two are
launching, a professional
soccer team, The Treasure
Coast Galleons, who will
play at Lawnwood stadium
in Fort Pierce, and in April
the Total Soccer Academy
began its first year of opera-
tion in Port St. Lucie. While
the Galleons plan on show-
casing some of the best .soc-
cer talent in the area and
across the world (they have
matches scheduled against
professional teams from
Europe as well as a world all-
star team), TS Academy
hopes to develop into a
breeding ground for the
Treasure Coast's top talent.
TS Academy also has
opened its doors to players
from South Africa, England
The Netherlands and across
the United States.
On April 20, the program
officially kicked off.
"We're all about player
development," said co-
founder Ruette. "We're look-
ing to make these players far
more advanced than they
already are. We try to treat
them like professionals at all
times."
Ruette welcomed in the
first six players to the Trea-
sure Coast and expects to
have another six to eight join
before June. Many players
must wait for their respec-
tive school to end the
semester, others are waiting
for visa's to be granted.
Starting up a soccer acad-
emy in a non-soccer crazy
country has brought some
anticipated difficulties, but


program
TS Academy has combated
those by acquiring an elite
staff of coaches.
,Coaching director Gerry
Schiavo has been one of the
country's best soccer coach-
es for. the last decade. In
2000 he led the club team
Uruguay S.C. to the third
round of the U.S. Cup, after
qualifying for the national
tournament at its lowest
level, regional amateur. The
semi-pro team lost to Major
League Soccer's Tampa Bay
Mutiny 1-0. It was the far-
thest a non-professional
team has advanced in the
U.S. Cup since the creation
of the MLS in 1996. The next
year Schiavo was named
United States Amateur Soc-
cer Association Coach of the
Year.
Next to Schiavo will stand
Marino, a former MLS star
and member of the 1996 US
Olympic team. Marino will
also serve as a captain for
the Galleons this summer,
while coaching for TS Acad-
emy.
The TS Academy coaching
staff will also include former
South African National team
player and MLS star Ivan
McKinley, former MLS all-
star and English Premier.
League player Ian Bishop
and current head coach of
the MLS Colorado Rapids
Fernando Clavijo.
With that type of coaching
staff its no wonder why play-
ers from around the world
would be anxious to come
and train on the Treasure
Coast.
"The coaches are great.
We've been having hard
practices, which is good. It's
work," said academy player
Erick Ulla. "They try to get
us up to speed with the TC
Galleons and trying to get
into the grove of playing
every day and giving 100
percent. It's just been an
excellent experience so far."
The athletes will stay at
the Marriott Spring Suites in
Port St. Lucie for the dura-'
tion of their five months
with the academy. Five days
a week Ruette picks the
group up for morning prac-
tice at Swan Park. After the

two-hour session the ath-
letes are bought back to the
hotel where they lift and
recharge their bodies for
that evening's practice at
McChesney Park. They
returned to the hotel after
practice wraps up at 9:15
p.m. and repeat the sched-
ule the next day.
"We work them pretty
good at night," said Ruette.
"They're usually so tired they
just go to bed."
During the first two weeks
of the academy, the players
will get two rest days, but
come May 19, when the
Galleons open their season,
Saturday will be game days
as each player will try to
make their mark as a mem-
ber of the team.
Being a part of a profes-
sional team, and getting
such high quality training
doesn't come cheap. A full
session (five months) with
TS Academy runs $8,500 per
athlete, while a summer ses-
sion (three months) costs
$5,000. But those costs
include room and board at
the Marriott, meals, and
transportation too and from
practice and games.


But those rates can be
modified for a local athlete
interested in joining the pro-
gram.
"(The academy is) really to
help not only the local play-
ers but also your average
soccer player that feels that
he isn't getting noticed and
feels that he's not getting
that extra kick," said Ruette.
"We want to help develop
soccer players whether
they're American or Euro-
pean."
Ruette said he would love
to have more local players
join the academy. Currently
only two players, Oscar
Rosario and A.J. Mack, both
from Vero Beach, are signed
up for the summer session.
However, he would like to
keep the program around 15
players in its inaugural year
to ensure each player gets as
much attention as possible.
While it is still yet to be
seen if TS Academy will be a
success, it is dear that its
member believe that it will.
With aspirations of playing
professional soccer, each
member is confidant that TS
will help them reach the
next level. '

rn lub master builds thrivinusiessora coast


Golf club master builds thriving business on Florida coast


n all sports, players must
be fit in order to perform
at their best.
Golf is no exception.
In fact, being properly fit
with regard to equipment is
more important in golf than
in any other sport.
Without equipment that
matches your game, you
may never realize your
potential.
This is where Bill Goldy,
owner of Club Formations
on Federal Highway in Stu-
art, comes in.
Bill has been building
clubs for more than 20 years.
It began as a hobby in his
hometown of Stratford, N.J.,
where he and his wife, Gail,
and their daughter, Dawn
lived.
In 1998, when he semi-
retired and moved to Florida
he needed something to
keep himself busy.
"I didn't know what else to
do," he said. "I love golf and I
enjoy putting clubs togeth-
er."
Apparently the two are a
good fit.
Bill began taking courses
and learning the finer points
of fitting equipment to
golfers and properly assem-
bling all the pieces.
He was a good student.
The walls of his shop con-
tain several awards, includ-
ing one from KZG Golf nam-
ing him as one of the
"World's Top 100 Club Fitters
of theYear."
He has also earned his
"Class A' club maker certifi-
cation from Golfsmith and
just this past October, was
certified as a Golfsmith's
"Master Craftsman."
"That is the one that I am
most proud of," he said,
pointing to the "Master
Craftsman" certificate.
He then showed me a box
of blank wedges, unfinished
in terms of shape and
bounce. He can take these

and grind them to fit a cus-
tomer's needs and desires in
awedge.
This is something usually
reserved for tour pros, but at
Club Formations, Bill has
the skill and equipment to
grind one to anyone's liking.
One of the most difficult
aspects of matching a golf
club to a golfer is having
enough demo clubs for the
customer to test.
Narrowing the process,
can take days for some
shops. Many don't have
enough choices.
A couple of years ago, Bill
came up with a system that
allows him to use every head
in his shop with every shaft
he carries.
The connectors he
designed allow him to screw
any head to any shaft. The
results allow anyone to try
any head he has in any shaft,
in any flex.
The number of combina-
tions is staggering.
"I start by testing them
with their clubs," he said.
'After looking at the num-
bers on my launch monitor I
know their swing dynamic
and can get pretty close to
what they should have. Then
it becomes a matter of
tweaking the club until it's
just right."
Through the use of launch
monitors that calculate


swing path and speed, ball
speed and spin along with
other factors, he is able to
make suggestions as to what
set up in equipment will best
help the customer's game.
From there he assembles a
demo and lets the golfer hit
the club and see the results.
"I have 7-irons set up and
that is what I start with for
irons," Bill said, while hand-
ing me one of the irons.
"Since I know their swing
dynamic, I have an idea
what shaft should work.
From there I have them hit
every 7-iron I have with that
shaft. One they may hit on
the toe, another on the heel,
but eventually they hit one
in the center of the face."
From there he dials in the
shaft and the customer
winds up with a club that
can be hit well most of the
time with his usual swing.
He then showed me some
of the latest shafts coming
out.
I was shocked to see that
he has one with an 8.0
torque rating.
He explained that it is
wonderful for older seniors
and ladies who struggle to
get their swing speed above
50 miles per hour. The shaft
bends easily and loads
quickly.
One satisfied customer's
husband told Bill that he has
created a monster.
His wife now drives the
ball very well and reaches
par-5s in three shots for the
first time in many years.
He also has a laser-type
system for putter fitting.
He attaches a laser device
to your putter and has you
line up with the hole just as if
you're preparing to make an


8-footer to win the Masters.
He turns on the laser
device and shows your
alignment.
"It's surprising how many
people aim poorly," he told
me. "If you're just a little off,
you'll never make that putt."
From there, Bill can adjust
your putter to better aid
your aim, or fit one of the
new ones in his shop to you.
Bill has learned a few les-
sons over the years.
"Most golfers play too little
loft and too stiff a shaft. And
not everyone is fittable
either. Some people just
never swing the same way
twice," he said.
While launch monitors are
the rage in fitting today, Bill
feels a change is in the air.
Always on the lookout for
the newest methods, he

believes that in the near
future, clubs will be built
based on moment of inertia,
or MOI, instead of the cur-
rent method of swing
weight.
"We will find the MOI of
your favorite club, and
match the set to that," he
said. "It's still a little ways off
but it's coming."

these gifts and the probabili-
ty of success is greatly
enhanced. This light within
you continues to shine and
brighten the world and oth-
ers around you. You are a
wonderful reflection of the
good, positive potential in
life. Keep asking for divine
guidance and everything you
desire will find its way to
you.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
When you surrender your
lower will to the higher and
let the universe work for you
and through you, you are
capable of making a lot of
good things happen. You
must continually place high
value on your life and tal-
ents. This focus, along with
clear vision of how you want
to serve, will continue to
bring you the great spiritual
rewards that reflect your true
nature. Polish your goals and
dreams like you would an
apple and you will continue
to reap a great harvest in life.


Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Go with your hunches. Your
inner guidance is stronger
than the outer when you are
listening to, trusting and act-
ing on it. There are new
adventures on the way.
Make time for fun and joy as
- well. You don't have to be
strong all the time. Make
quality time for yourself.
When you have this bal-
anced approach to life, you

good stuff. All the money in
the world will not make you
happy if your spirit and heart
are drained or hungry. Be

ries often and life will contin-
ually bless you in mighty
ways.
