Report: Oxycodone deaths

up significantly in area

Methadone also becoming more of a problem in '07


BY MATT DONEGAN
Staff writer
The addictive opioid
painkiller oxycodone
caused more than twice
the number of deaths on
the Treasure Coast in
2006 than in 2005, a new
report shows.
There were 43 deaths
involving oxycodone in;
2006 in District 19,
which is comprised of St.


Lucie, Indian River, Mar-

counties. The narcotic
was ruled as the direct
cause of death in 23 of
those cases, according to
"Drugs Identified in

When Martin County
Sheriff's Capt. Lloyd

of the youngsters at the
Indiantown YMCA on
June 8, he said, "In 30

Capt. Jones was a
guest speaker at the first
program sponsored by
the Indiantown YMCA

gram, entitled "Why You
Matter," runs through
Aug. 10, and will feature
speakers in fields of law
enforcement, photo-

medicine, wildlife and
civic activism.
The program is
intended to reach out to
children ages 8 to 13
that attend the

The Mansion at Tuckahoe, formerly known as the Leach Mansion, is shown in its heyday
in the 1940s. The mansion and grounds, located at Indian RiverSide Park, are now owned
by Martin County and are in the process of major renovations.


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
JENSEN BEACH -
Walking through the
Mansion at Tuckahoe,
located in Indian River-
Side Park, it is easy to
imagine the life that
existed in the rock-solid
building since 1939, the
year it was built.
The Mediterranean
Revival-style home was
originally built by Coca-
Cola heirs Willaford and'
Anne Bates Leach. Mrs.
Leach worked closely
with architect Bert Keck,
planning a home for Mr.
and Mrs. Leach and their
children.
Every room contains a
fireplace, and the first
and second floors of the
home have balconies


that provide stunning
waterfront views. In fact,
almost every room of the
mansion allows a view of
the water.
It's not a stretch to pic-
ture the lively parties that
must have taken place on
the terrazzo floors when
Tuckahoe was the hub of
social life in Martin
County.
In 1950, the mansion
was sold to the Catholic
Church and became a
Novitiate for the Sisters of
St. Joseph, who eventual-
ly established a liberal
arts college there.

State lawmakers approve property tax plan


Tax reductions
on the horizon
for Floridians
FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Florida lawmakers
approved what some are
calling sweeping tax reform
last week.
During a special session'
of the legislature, lawmak-
ers revamped the way that
local governments levy
property taxes, starting with
immediate tax reductions.
The tax reform package,
which is awaiting Gov.


Charlie Crist's signature,
consists of two parts. The
first is an immediate statu-
tory reduction of tax rates,
while the second must be
approved by voters and is
designed to replace Flori-
da's constitutional Save Our
Homes tax cap.
According to Senate doc-
uments, property tax reduc-
tions will vary from com-
munity to community
based on a formula com-
bining area growth with the.
Consumer Price Index or
inflation rate.
In Martin County, resi-
dents for the most part will
see a 7 percent reduction in
property taxes in the com-
ing fiscal year, and Martin
municipalities, whose rates
have yet to be calculated,
will reduce tax rates
between 3 and 9 percent
depending on the size of
the community.
Individual municipalities
have until June 29 to report
back to the state with their
reduced tax rates.
County and municipal
budgets' growth will then
be limited by the CPI, which
was reported in May 2007 at
2.96 percent by the U.S.


Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In the second phase of
the tax reform plan, voters
headed to the polls for the
Jan. 29, 2008 presidential
primary will decide
whether or not to replace
the state's Save Our Homes
property tax caps with what
lawmakers are calling
"super hoinestead exemp-
tions."
Under the Save Our
Homes amendment, prop-
erty assessment for long-
term homeowners is
capped at 3 percent a year.
Currently long-term
homeowners pay taxes on
the capped value of their
home minus the standard
$25,000 homestead exemp-
tion.
If approved by the voters,
the new homestead exemp-
tion created would be
tiered, providing larger
exemptions for lesser-val-
ued homes.
The new plan .would
exempt 75 percent of prop-
erty values up to $200,000.
Owners of a $200,000 home
would pay taxes on $50,000.
Homes valued at $200,001
or more will receive the 75
percent exemption for the


first $200,000, and an addi-
tional 15 percent exemp-
tion on the added value up
to $500,000.
A $300,000 home, for
example would receive the
75 percent exemption on
the first $200,000 and a 15
percent exemption on the
last $100,000, making the
taxable value of the home
approximately $135,000.
Owners of properties val-
ued at more than $500,000
will enjoy the cumulative
exemptions of smaller
homes and receive an addi-
tional exemption equal to
the Consumer Price Index
on the added vahue from
$500,001.
A $1 million home would
again receive the 75 percent
exemption on the first
$200,000 of its value, the 15
percent exemption on the
$300,000 between $200,001
and $500,000, and the CPI
percentage exemption for
the remaining $500,000.
With a current CPI of 2.96,
the taxable value of a $1
million home would be
approximately $790,000.

In addition to the Martin
County Sheriff's Office,
participants on the first
day of the program includ-
ed firefighters and para-
medics from Martin Coun-
ty Fire-Rescue.
The children listened to
stories of how the rescue
workers became interested
in their jobs and the train-
ing and education needed
for them.


Then the children were
treated to the hands-on
experience of examining a
sheriff's car, ambulance
and firetruck up close.
The lessons they were
learning became more real
to them when the firefight-
ers received an emergency
call in the middle of a
demonstration and had to
leave the YMCA parking lot
with lights flashing and
siren blaring.
Capt. Jones, who also
serves on the YMCA Advi-
sory Council, told the chil-


dren they are able to follow
any career path they want.
"You can choose to be
president or you can
choose to be a failure," he
said. "For me, being a
police officer is a continu-
ous cycle of self-improve-
ment."
His message seemed to
be sinking in with the
youth.
"My favorite part was
learning how to save peo-
ple," said Cindi Chavez,
who attends the YMCA's
summer program.


Ocean Fitness
Providing private celebrity-style fitness training
When professional athletes, models & .
and celebrities need to get into hape
quickly, they turn to personal tra iners,
working one-on-one with a profession -
al trainer in complete privacy. Now,
thanks to Fletcher McLane at Ocean
Fitness in Stuart, professional, celebriry
style training is available to everyone.
As a professional trainer in M.iami --
for 20 years, McLane has trained some .
of the biggest names in the enter itain- W.
ment, modeling and sports indtsiriiec. "
AformerAll American football player .
and former professional wrestler. n
McLane also worked on movies riLh vOwner & Pro essional Trainer Flelcher McLane is Shown
stars such as Carl Weathers and Hulk with "Dancing with the Stars" contestant lan Ziering
Hogan. When Mclane was at the pin-
nacle of the personal training field with a budding career in Hollywood, he walked away to
find a quieter lifestyle. He now feels like he's finally find his true calling.
"I was put here to help people lose weight and build a better lifestyle," said McLane, whose
focus is motivating people to get-into the best shape of their lives with training, diet counsel-
ing and lifestyle changes.
Located on Hutchinson Island just a stone's throw from the ocean, Ocean Fitness features
the finest training equipment available including Cybexh equipment, Precor treadmills and
free weights. The gym also has a private tikii hut" massage room where clients can enjoy a
professional massage.
McLane has a number of clients who come in exclusively for him to stretch table, a service
that follows every training session. While many sessions take place in the gym, you can often
find him training clients on the beach. One thing you won't find in Ocean Fitness is a lot of
supplements. McLane, an outspoken critic of growth hormones and steroids contends that a
better body, "doesn't come in a bottle."
But the best part about training at Ocean Fitness (besides training with a pro of the caliber
of McLane) is that every session is private. Although he will train husband and wife teams,' he
never books more than one client at a time, always working around a client's schedule.
"Working with a personal trainer in a large gym can be very intimidating," said McLane,
"Here, you don't have to compete with the 'Barbie dolls' or guys with bulging muscles. It's a
one-on-one customized session where the focus is just on you."
Since opening Ocean Fitness six years ago, McLane has trained 1,000 Treasure Coast resi-
dents, including children and adults of all ages. Eighty percent of his clients are women, in
part because he has earned a reputation for knowing how to train women to become strong
and lose weight without developing unattractive, masculine bulk.
"A lot of trainers make the mistake of training men and women the same way. A woman's
body is different. When training a woman, we're looking to develop symmetry," said McLane,
"after they've gotten in shape, the women I've trained not only look great but they then tell me
they feel strong, confident and empowered."
The first training session at Ocean Fitness is complimentary, something according to
McLane that no other gym offers. He uses the first session as a way to gauge whether a person
is truly motivating and willing to work with him as a team. In addition to a customized work-
out, each client receives a customized eating plan.
"I teach 90 percent nutrition and 10 percent training," he said.
Ocean Fitness is located at 652 SE Ocean Blvd. in Stuart, right across from the Hutchinson co
Island Marriott. The gym offers several personal training packages from one to 20 sessions, o
starting at $100 for a two-hour session. For more information call (786) 423-3476

Humane Society names new director


By RITA HART
Staff writer,
PALM CITY Having
been a dog owner most of
his life, Frank Valente left
his job with a large mar-
keting firm in New Jersey
six years ago and confi-
dently accepted a position
as assistant executive
director of the Peggy
Adams Animal Rescue
League in Palm Beach
County.
"I was there two days
when I learned I didn't
know anything about
dogs," said Mr. Valente.
He learned quickly.
While at the Peggy Adams
Animal Rescue League,
Mr. Valente was responsi-


ble for clinic and shelter
operations, customer
service, marketing and
development. During his
tenure, the ARL enjoyed a
record number of adop-
tions and spay/neuter
surgeries. In addition, two
mobile adoption units
were added, a foster pro-
gram was initiated and the
volunteer program was
expanded.
His business back-
ground, coupled with a
love of animals, gave him
a career choice that he has
become passionate about.
On June 4, he was
appointed to the position
of executive director of the
Humane Society of the
Treasure Coast, located in


Palm City.
"There is no job here
that is more important
than another," said Mr.
Valente, speaking of his
new position. "Everyone is
part of a team, and you
could tell the minute I
walked through the door it
was a family here."
Mr. Valente is currently
the Chairman of the South
Florida Animal Welfare
Association, whose mem-
bers are directors from
humane societies and
government agencies
stretching from Vero
Beach to Key West.
"The Humane Society of
the Treasure Coast has a
very solid foundation to
build on," said Mr.


Valente. "They've been in
the community more than
50 years." -
Kay Ziegler, president of
the Humane Society of the
Treasure Coast's board of
directors, said the board is
excited Mr. Valente has
joined the organization.
"He brings with him a
new vitality, years of shel-
ter experience and busi-
ness acumen to an already
impressive organization,"
she said.
Mr. Valente shared some
of his long-terms goals for
the Humane Society.
One is to establish a

Judge grants defendant's motion
to suppress evidence in drug case
When Martin County Sheriffs Detective Chris Conrad
presented an affidavit for a warrant to allow a search of,
Crooked Cue Billiards in Stuart to Circuit Court Judge Robert
Makemson in July 2006, the judge issued the search warrant,
resulting in the seizure of evidence, including 86 grams of
cocaine, and statements made by David Kingsmill, co-
owner of Crooked Cue Billiards.
However, after a recent hearing on a motion to suppress
the evidence and statements, filed by Mr. Kingsmill's attor-
ney Richard Kibbey, Circuit Judge Larry Schack granted the
- motion by court order dated June 8.
Detective Conrad investigated the business for two
months before sending a confidential informant into the
building to buy drugs from Mr. Kingsmill.
However, according to Judge Schack's court order, the
informant purchased the cocaine from a man named Todd.
Jenkins, who was neither an employee or involved with.
ownership of the business, a fact that the Judge said Detec&,
tive Conrad knew but did not include in the affidavit for a;
search warrant.
Although the informant told Detective Conrad he
observed Mr. Jenkins go into Mr. Kingsmill's office to get the
cocaine, Judge Schack's order indicates there was no way for
the detective to verify this, as he remained outside Crooked
Cue Billiards when the drug buy was allegedly made.
"The detective could not see or hear what happened dur-
ing the controlled buy inside the business. It was not moni-
tored. The evidence at the hearing destroyed the credibility
of the informant, and there was insufficient supervision of
the controlled buy," wrote Judge Schack.
As a result of "omitted relevant facts," in the affidavit for a
search warrant, Judge Schack found there was "reckless,
police conduct that amounted to deception."
Due to the Judge's findings, the State Attorney's Office,
intends to drop drug trafficking charges against Mr..
Kingsmill, who was on probation for possession of cocaine
in 2005 at the time he was charged in the Martin County
case.
While out on bond on the Martin County drug trafficking
charges, he violated probation through new drug charges in
Palm Beach County.

Store personnel mow down thief
Alert store personnel from Lowe's home improvement
store at 3620 S. Federal Highwayin Stuart allegedly thwarted
the theft of a $300 Troylawnmower.
While cleaning the parking lot of the store just after mid-
night on June 13, employees reportedly observed a man;
stealing the lawnmower and disappearing around the back
of the store with it.

IS YOUR BATTERY
UP TO IT?
When you consider that today's
vehicles pose energy requirements
that go well beyond the task of
merely starting the engine, it is no
wonder that their batteries' lives
may be compromised. In fact, only
about 30% of the batteries sold
today ever last more than four
years. With this in mind, you may
want to have your battery checked
as a precaution against it failing
unexpectedly. This recommendation
is particularly important if your
battery sits too long between
charges as few as 24 hours on
hot days and several days in
cold weather. Also remember that
batteries are subject to "parasitic
drain" due to the fact that clocks,
engine-management systems, and
alarms use electricity when the
engine is turned off.
Custom stereos, in-car TVs, and
even your cell phone charger place
exttra strain on your battery. This
extra strain can drastically shorten
the battery's life. At ADVANTAGE
FORD OF STUART, we can advise
you as far as the type of battery
your car, truck, or SUV needs to
run all of your electronics properly.
If you need a battery, or just
have questions regarding your]
current battery than please come
to 4000 S.E. Federal Highway, or
call 772,781.6540 to schedule an
appointment. We service most
major makes and models in
addition to Ford and Lincoln/
Mercury cars.
HINT: The majority of battery
failures are due to sulfation
build-up, which occurs when the
sulfur molecules in the electrolyte
(battery acid) become so deeply
discharged that they begin to coat
the battery's lead plates.


RUBIES

Hawk Lev~y

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-
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.

Enforcement unit task
force, which is aimed at
suppressing Indian River's
drug activity, said he
believes 60 to 75 percent of
people who become
addicted to oxycodone first
legally obtain the medica-
tion to relieve pain, then
seek illegal means to pur-
chase it once their pre-
scription runs out.
Like in St. Lucie, Sgt.'
Jones said the Indian River
Sheriff's Office is noticing
an increase in prescription
drug arrests, abuse and
fraud.
"The trend is getting
worse and worse," he said.
Though abuse of pre-
scription medication can
cause death, as the report
proves, users don't tend to
classify them as major
drugs.
"We'll have someone on
a traffic stop and they'll
have one oxycodone in
their console, and they
don't see that as being the
same as cocaine," he said.
"They'll give one to some-
one they work with. They
don't realize it comes with
the same charge as giving
cocaine to someone."
Lt. Atlas, however, said
oxycodone is still not as
common as crack.
"You can get a hit of
crack for $3 or $4," she
said. "Everybody can
afford it. Oxycodone is a

little more expensive. Peo-
ple on oxycodone general-
ly still have jobs. They go
about, and it's not so obvi-
ous, until they get to the
end of their time doing it.
They're middle class,
they're housewives, kids,
old people, everybody."
But it's not just a white-
collar drug. Sergeant Jones
said many people who
switch over from heroin
are injecting oxycodone.
"The chronic users have
the same appearance as
those addicted to heroin,"
he said.
Besides shooting it, oxy-
codone can be taken in its
usual pill form. But the pill
is a time-released drug,
and users get around that
by chopping it up and
snorting or ingesting the
powder, which gives the
user the drug's full effect
much more quickly.
Methadone is back

Despite the fairly recent
issues with oxycodone, Sgt.
Jones and Detective Ses-
soms both said methadone
is the drug that most con-
cerns them at this point.
"Methadone is making a
comeback," Detective Ses-
soms said. "It doesn't have
the effect where it stops
the pain as fast as oxy-
codone. People will take,
another one and another
one, then it hits them all at
once and they overdose."
Methadone caused (the
second most deaths
among those who died of
drugs in the state last year,
killing 716 people, behind
only cocaine, which
caused 829 deaths. There
were 30 deaths involving
methadone in District 19
last year and 31 in 2005.
That's more than in Dis-
trict 11, which includes the
city of Miami and Dade
County, where there were
13 total deaths involving
methadone
So far in 2007,
methadone has proven to
be even more of a problem
on the Treasure Coast.
"I think methadone has
really been a highest killer
in the area this year," said
Chief Treasure Coast Med-
ical Examiner Dr. Roger
Mittleman. "Methadone is
big. Oxycodone deaths
we're not seeing as much
of now."
That's because more
doctors are prescribing
methadone over oxy-
codone since the latter
drug has received much
negative attention in the

press, he guessed.
Like oxycodone,
methadone becomes
deadly when abused
because it suppresses res-
piration to an extent that
the brain doesn't receive
the oxygen it would nor-
mally receive, Dr. Mittle-
man said.
' "What happens is the
heart continues to beat
after respirations stop,
then it slows and dies," he
said.
Dr. Mittleman made
these statements June 14,
the same day his office
handled a case where a
deceased person had levels
of methadone in their sys-
tem that were higher than
usual, but not strikingly
high. Another drug discov-
ered in the same body,
diazepam, a tranquilizer,
enhanced the strength of
the methadone: This abuse
of multiple drugs at the
same time is known as
"polydrug."
"It's very common to see
polydrug intoxication," Dr.
Mittleman said. "You see
one drug that's the main
player, and other drugs
that are synergistic with
that."
Oxycodone and
methadone may be killers,
but in Dr. Mittleman's
opinion, the worst drug
available is alcohol.
"Fifty percent of traffic
accidents are related to
alcohol," he said. "Then
there's the drunken brawl,
where people get shot."
As methadone appears
to be gaining popularity,
cocaine, as always, is still
prevalent in District 19.
But deaths in which
cocaine was detected on
the Treasure Coast actually
dropped from 58 in 2005 to
45 in 2006. Cocaine was
ruled as the cause of death
in 17 cases last year, com-
pared to 28 in 2005. It was
the first year deaths involv-
ing cocaine dropped here
since 2002. Statewide,
however, deaths involving
cocaine have risen every
year since 2000, last year
increasing by 5.6 percent
when compared to 2005.
Lately, Dr. Mittleman
said his office has seen an
up tick in the number of
drug-related deaths. The
numbers for the first three
months of 2007 are similar
to the first three months of
2006. But he said he's curi-
ous to see how compara-
tive the figures will be after
this month.

animals housed at the
Humane Society.
"This will allow us to
spay/neuter right on the
premises and will allow
animals to leave (with
their adoptive families)
the day they are seen,"
said Mr. Valente.
He said this rapid turn-
around in getting the ani-
mals to their new families
will free space for new ani-
mals being brought to the
shelter.
Mr. Valente also wants
to promote a strong work-
ing relationship with ani-
mal rescue groups that
have a compatible philos-
ophy with the Humane
Society.
Another plan of Mr.
Valente's is to expand the
Humane Society's foster
services.
"Pet overpopulation is a
nationwide problem," he
said.
"We want to save as
many lives as possible.
And we are here to figure
out a way to do it as com-
passionately as possible,"
said Mr. Valente.

Got something to say?

Call the Hometown Rants & Raves line at

or e-mail Rants-N-Raves@hometownnewsol.com.
Callers are asked to refrain from making slanderous
statements. Statements of fact will be checked for
accuracy.


Who is driving the bus?

I hear that St. Lucie County and Martin County school
districts are hiring bus drivers, and are advertising that
you do not have to have citizenship to get these posi-
tions.
I'm wondering how they will do their background
checks, the fingerprint checking, and all the other checks
that they do for other people those who are citizens.
How will we know who is driving those buses?
I don't know if this is true, but I've heard it from two
different sources. One was a radio station.

Response from the
Martin County School District
Employees of the Martin County School District must be
one of the following, and provide the necessary documen-
tation:
A citizen or national of the United States,
*A lawful permanent resident
*A resident alien authorized to work in the United
States.
For employees who are not U.S. citizens, but are perma-
nent residents or resident aliens, the school district tracks
the employees' work eligibility status to ensure continued
compliance with federal regulations.
All employees must also successfully complete a Level II
background screening, which includes a state background
check through the Florida Department of Law Enforce-
ment, and a national background check through the FBI
database.
In addition, the school district requires drug screenings,
and thorough reference checks to further ensure each of its
employees meets the high employment standards of the
Martin County School District.

Cathy Brennan
Public Information Officer, Martin County School Dis-
trict

Editor's Note: St. Lucie County School District was con-
tacted, but chose not to respond.

No answer at code enforcement

I have repeatedly attempted to call code enforcement
regarding hazardous stuff all over neighborhood proper-
ty.
But, there is no answer. There is no way I can get
through the answering service menu. I'm always back to
first base after each of the extensions I try.
From what I see on television,, it seems that code
enforcement patrols areas west of Route 1 in selected
areas.
I'll bet that the code enforcement officers all live in
areas just west of Old Dixie Highway, where the junk is
thickest.
These jobs are never advertised, are they?

Buried alive

Florida Fish and Wildlife requires extensive activity to
be done by developers before they build on any land that
is inhabited by gopher tortoises.
There are several stages that they must go through
before they bury them alive.
The developers now get the permit to bury them alive,
without any effort whatsoever to relocate the tortoises as
required by the state wildlife service.
Their entire regulation is ignored by the developers,
and, as usual, is not enforced by local government.

Old ring, new heart
In response to the article about wedding rings, my
husband held my hand for over sixty years. Then he
died.
He wore a size 17 wedding ring.
After he died my daughter asked if she could have her
father's wedding ring, because she was pretty heavy
then, and could wear it for a while.


But, then it got too big. So, she then asked if she could
do something with the ring.
I said, yes, go ahead, it is now yours.
She took it to the jeweler. He melted the ring down,
and made a little heart, with another little heart in the
center with a diamond chip in the middle.
She sent this home to me. She said, "Mom, you go get
a chain, I don't know how long a chain to get, and wear
this. This is the last thing of daddy's I can give you. You
war it as long as you want to, and then it will be mine."
I think that's a very nice thing.
Since I began wearing the pendent, you'd be surprised
how many people have asked me about the little hearts
that I wear.
People are quite impressed. People don't know what
to do with "retired" wedding rings.
I'm very happy and proud to wear it.

Trash pickup

Not all residents are in favor of once a week trash day.
Why can't people just leave some good things alone? I've
always liked twice per week pickup for the simple reason
if I happen to miss day one, I can catch them on day two.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has ever missed the
first pickup.
Have you ever noticed the odor from trash as it sits in
the heat for a few days? Imagine that same smell when
someone misses the pickup day, and it sits there for
another week.
Next they will tell us they can only come every other
week, as they do up north where my relatives live.
I can see it now; a visitor comes through town, and
from the odor wonders if there is a landfill near.
Nope, just all the neighborhood trash still sitting there.

Water emergency

I'm tired of hearing about the level of lake 'O'.
The SFWMD needs to wake up and stop draining it,
then declaring an emergency when the water level gets
low each year. It happens each year.
In drought season, someone should
create/impose/enforce real water restrictions that start
with no outdoor irrigation, especially the municipalities
that put more water on the roads than the grass and
weeds they are trying to keep green.

Enough is enough

Thank God that the immigration bill was knocked
down. It is pretty much under the table for now.
But, to all the people that have lawn service businesses
and contractors, construction, and the like, here's the
deal.
We are going to start going around and looking into
see who is hiring illegals, and how many illegals are,
working on jobs.
We are going to call the office of Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement (ICE) in Miami. We have the number.
We are going to start reporting you.
You are going to lose your license, and you will not be

Molly's board president answers critics

To the editor:

In response to recent requests for Judy Cruz,
executive director for Molly's House, to be fired
and for me to resign, I wish to state Judy will
remain in her position and I will remain as board
president.
Judy Cruz has been our executive director. for
four years. Her contributions in managing this
organization have been significant. They include:
*Our annual donations have increased each
year and are at record levels.
*The Molly's House facility has been mnain-
tained at the highest level ever.
*Occupancy at Molly's House has tripled.
*The experience level of our volunteers has
improved significantly and turnover within the
volunteer ranks is the lowest it has ever been.
*She has made significant positive progress in
raising awareness of Molly's House throughout
the Treasure Coast region.
*Our endowment-funds have increased each
year in principle, appreciation, dividend and
interest. All of our funds are managed by three
major local financial institutions and our books
are open to the public.
During my 13 years of service to Molly's House,
I have chaired the annual golf tournament and I
am pleased to say we have raised more than
$800,000 during my tenure as chair. Judy Cruz'
contribution to the success of the annual
fundraiser is significant. Her organizational skills
in the tournament, cocktail party, and auction
have helped raise more than $200,000 in the last
two years alone. She also has initiated other
fundraising activities such as our major annual
appeal campaign.
Our board of directors is at its peak perform-
ance in terms of skills, financial contributions,
and guidance as we all strive for the continued
success and improvement of Molly's House.
In November, our board of directors will con-
vene a nominating committee to accept applica-
tions for our new board. We will accept a nomina-
tion for either Kevin or Debbie Sharkey at that
time. In the interim, we will continue to hold an
advisory position open for Kevin or Debbie
Sharkey. Accepting this position will allow family
input until our new board is sworn into service.
We have always valued the input of the Molly's
House founding family. We urge that input to
continue in the advisory position.

going to do business anymore in south
Florida.
Enough is enough. We have American
citizens, who cannot afford anymore to
even live here, let alone support their
families and feed their children because
your people want to hire illegal aliens and
try to get rich over night.
It's not going to happen anymore. If you
have a lawn or construction business, or
whatever, in south Florida, be aware -
this is a warning.

Web site highlights companies
that hire illegals

This (is in) regards to a recent rant
about going after companies who hire
illegals.
(The Web site) www.wehirealiens.com is
a site anyone with a computer may find
interesting.
Phone numbers for ICE (Immigration
and Custom Enforcement), and other
offices are listed. And there is a form by
which a person may report companies
they suspect are (hiring) illegals.

Some contractors prove
inscrutable after storm

(Now that it is June), we are reminded of
hurricane season and the devastation that
can happen.
Unfortunately, many residents suffered
severe financial devastation, not from
Mother Nature but from dishonest and
misleading contractors.
These contractors were there only to
take our money, place us on a long line of
work to be done and have no contact with
us for months or years.
Florida statutes specifically address the
amount of deposit a contractor may
require arid the length of time a job must
be completed in.
I hope we Floridians have learned some
valuable lessons before choosing a con-
tractor.
Make sure the contractor is Florida
licensed.
If you have Internet access, go to
www.MyFloridalicense.com and search
for the contractor. The search is easier if
you have the license number, so ask the
contractor for (it)
If you don't have Internet access, call


the Florida Department of Professional
Regulation at (850) 487-1395
Does the contractor belong to the Bet-
ter Business Bureau?
Call (407) 786-9008 to see if there are
complaints against the business.
Check with the clerk of courts in your
county to see if lawsuits have been filed
against the contractor. In Brevard County,
call (321) 637-5413 and in Indian River
County, call (772) 770-5185 to check for
lawsuits filed against a contractor.
Make sure that your contractor will be
the one applying for the permit. Often,
contractors (who) have license problems
will attempt to hire another contractor to
pull a permit for them, as they are unable
to do so.
Make sure (the work) has been
inspected by the building authorities
before releasing the contractor. Some
contractors will get a deposit, do the
work, collect your money, but never have
the job inspected.,
This can cause serious problems for the
homeowner, especially if you decide to
sell your home.
If you have had work done on your
home, call the local building department
to make sure the final inspection was
done. The building departments can find
your information from your property
address.

Ranting Republican
responds to other ranters

If the ranter who is tired'of Republican
rants will lower his pointing finger a lit-
tle, I will explain.
The Republican rants are due to the
frustration felt when Democrat mem-
bers of Congress stand on their respec-
tive floors and call our president a liar,
demand that we inform our enemies of
what our military strategies are and pro-
vide propaganda fodder by attempting
to enact legislation that will force the
commander-in-chief of the military to
retreat in the face of the enemy.
Who did this, you ask?
Senate majority leader Harry Reid,
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Sen.
Dick Durbin, Rep. John Murtha, Sen.
Charles Schumer, to name a few.
They were supported by Ted Kennedy
and Hillary Clinton.
As far as the war in Iraq, it has been
over for a couple of years.
We won it, by the way.

Children and families lose


with Florida legislature


During the regular
session, the Florida
legislature failed to
address the issue of
KidCare, a health insurance
program for low-income
children.
Advocates for the
program had been pushing
for the legislature to take
action that would have
included administrative
restructuring and a
provision to enable an
estimated 180,000 children
to remain insured at a cost
of $11 million from the
state and $17.4 million
from the federal govern-
ment. Advocates were told,
"not this year.. .tax reform
is the primary issue that
the legislature will be
addressing."
Taxpayers should also be
aware that, since KidCare
began in 1998, Florida has
had to return approximate-
ly $140 million in federal
dollars in unexpended
funds available to the state
for this children's insurance
program.
Ultimately, lawmakers
were unable to build
consensus around the
issue of tax reform in the
regular session. A special
session was held where
only property tax reform is
being discussed.
Here comes the second
loss for Florida's children
and families: property tax
reform. Property tax reform
comes in two parts: Part A
is statutory change that
calls for caps on taxing
entities (cities, counties,
special districts). Counties
and cities will be forced to
cut revenues from last
year's figures, based upon
their historical increases in
revenues compared to their
growth rate. The larger the
revenue increase com-


HARRY YATES
Guest columnist
pared to growth rate, the
larger the percentage of
cuts (three percent, five
percent, seven percent, or
nine percent).
Part B is a Constitutional
Amendment tentatively
scheduled for the January
29,2008, special election.
This amendment would
address the homestead
exemption issue. The
proposed amendment
offers the opportunity for
taxpayers to eliminate the
current homestead
exemption of $25,000 for a
more detailed tier rate and
also eliminates the "Save
Our Homes" program for
future home-owners.
How does all this affect
our children and families?
Children's Services Coun-
cils (CSCs) are independ-
ent taxing districts, voted in
by the taxpayers of individ-
ual counties to fund
programs to enhance the
lives of children and
families. In 1988, Martin
County taxpayers had the
vision and voted to create
the Children's Services
Council of Martin County
(CSCMC).
For 17 years, CSCMC has
been funding a variety of,
health and human service
programs that have
enabled families to lead


healthier, safer, and more
productive lives. If pro-
posed legislation passes in
the special session, CSCMC
and other CSCs throughout
the state will be required to
cut their budgets by three
percent based upon last
year's revenues. This will
result in the reduction of
existing services, the
elimination of program
enhancements, and
remove the opportunity tp
bring in any new services
regardless of need.
In addition, the proposed
legislative tax cuts include
approximately $2 billion a
year in cuts to school
districts. The legislature
says they will make this up
but do not provide any
clarification as to where the
funds will come from.
"Trust us," they say.
(Anyone want to buy a
bridge?)
Local governments will
be required to cut from 3
percent to 9 percent, and
with the concerns'of public
safety (law enforcement
and fire protection) being
cut and the threat of
reduced protection, the
larger cuts at the local level
will likely be in the area of
human services.
Middle and low-income
families who enjoy a whole
range of services provided
by local government and
Children's Services councils
are at the greatest risk of
losing. Is there something
that we can do? You, the
public, tell me!

From page A3
on the scene, charging Paul
J. Guilmette, 41, of 182 Car-
dinal Ave. in Fort Pierce with
grand theft.
Mr. Guilmette was placed
in the Martin County jail on
$2,500 bond.


Sheriffs deputies kept
busy with domestic
violence calls
The Martin County
Sheriff's Office responded
to two calls of domestic
violence within two days.
Deputies first responded
to a call at 6 p.m. on June


11 from neighbors in the
100 block of S.E. Superior
Way in Stuart, who report-
ed a domestic disturbance
on the front lawn of Abel
Sebastian, 25, and his wife.
Mr. Sebastian was
charged with aggravated
assault and domestic bat-
tery after allegedly threat-
ening to cut his wife with a


chainsaw.
According to the sheriff's
report, Mr. Sebastian's wife
told deputies her husband
hit her in the arm and
pushed her out of the way
when she tried to prevent
him from picking up the
chainsaw.
At 9:30 p.m. on June 12,
Sheriff's deputies


responded to another call,
in the 2600 block of N.E.
Dixie Highway in Stuart.:
The alleged incident
began after a man flew
into a rage when his preg-
nant girlfriend received a
cell phone call from a for-
mer -boyfriend, and
,pushed her to the ground,
causing her to hit a table


on the way down. She
called police after he
refused to leave.
Charged with aggravat-
ed battery in the incident
was Douglas Andry, 40, of
2505 N.E. Indian River
Drive in lensen Beach.

Mansion
From page Al
floor, it is not hard to pic-
ture the nuns there, doing
the cooking and cleaning
throughout their day.
In 1972, the property
was purchased by the
Florida Institute of Tech-
nology. The basement of
the mansion still shows
part of'the mural painted
-on the walls of the
"Rathskeller," a bar area
the FIT students enjoyed.
After FIT left the.premis-
es in 1986, the property
stood vacant until com-
munity leaders began a
drive for county acquisi-
tion of the site.
Out of those efforts grew
the non-profit organiza-
tion called Friends of
Mount Elizabeth. Mount
Elizabeth is the name of
the 4,000-year-old site,
once part of the Ais Indian
tribe, on which the man-
sion sits.
Tom Carr, who was once
a student at the mansion
when it was known as St.
Joseph's College, is now a
Board member of FOME.
"Martin County cpnsid-
ers this a crown jewel in
their overall view of what
they want for the river,"
said Mr. Carr. "They are
very proud to have it."
In 2002, Mount Eliza-
beth was placed on the
National Register of His-
toric Places, followed by
the mansion itself in 2004.
The property is now
owned by Martin County
and renovations are
underway, thanks to state
grants, endowments and
the support of a county
referendum. In all, Martin
County and FOME have
raised more than $6 mil-
lion for restoration.
The property has
entered its final phase of
restoration, with con-
struction intended to
S- -bring it to its original
splendor to begin late this
year.
When completed, the
mansion will offer educa-
tional forums, lectures,
workshops, and tours, and
will be available to the
public for meeting rooms
and events such as wed-
ding receptions.
In fact, the current
architectural plans call for
a "bride's room" and two
grand staircases, one on
each side of the building,
for a dramatic biidal
entrance or photographs.
Jane Greenwasser, head
of Research and Develop-
ment for FOME, said there
are also plans for an out-
door amphitheater next to
the river, along with a
reflecting pool.
Last November, FOME
held a fund-raising gala at
the mansion that was
expected to be a one-time
event. The gala was so
successful, however, that
FOME is now planning
another gala to raise funds
for Tuckahoe, scheduled
for Saturday, Nov. 10.
"We had so many people
ask us to do it again that
we are going ahead with
another one," said Mrs.
Greenwasser. "I'm confi-
dent this one will outshine
last year, while still reflect-
ing the history and very
unique and intriguing
nature of the mansion."
The Mansion at Tucka-
hoe is located at Indian
RiverSide Park, 1707 N.E.
Indian River Drive, Jensen
Beach. For more informa-
tion on the Mansion at
Tuckahoe or FOME's Nov.
2007 10 fundraiser, call Jane
Greenwasser at (772) 334-

Hospital
From page Al
west," Port St. Lucie Mayor
Patricia Christensen said.
"Our need will be even
greater when it finally
opens."
The state has denied
Martin Memorial's seven
previous applications, cit-
ing a lack of need for a
third hospital in St. Lucie
County. Mr. Harman said
the last application had
changes that supported a
need for the hospital.
"The data was from a
year later (than the last
application), so it reflected
the growth that's occurred
and that is a real boost," Mr.
Harman said. "As time goes
by, the population grows.
We also have a new govern-
ment, and it may point to
things being more respon-
sive to local communities."
In the approval report by
the Agency for Health Care
Administration, the Certifi-
cate of Need was granted
based on a growing need
for a hospital in western
Port St. Lucie.
"The applicant has
shown area demographics
have shifted and that the
population growth, notably
in the western portion of St.
Lucie County, is creating
traffic congestion that is
being looked at by the
county," the report stated.
' Although Martin Memor-
ial has been given approval
for its Certificate of Need
application, St. Lucie Med-
ical Center and Lawnwood
Regional Medical Center &
Heart Institute can appeal


the decision.
"We are surprised at the
state's decision granting
Martin Memorial Health
Systems approval to build a
hospital out west because
our community hasn't real-
ly changed since the last six
times Martin Memorial has
applied," said Gary
Cantrell, chief operating
officer of St. Lucie Medical
Center. "Six times in a row,
the state determined there
was no demonstrated
need, In fact, our popula-
tion growth has slowed
down, we've opened up a
walk-in clinic (in St. Lucie
West) to treat people out
west and the Crosstown
Parkway is going to be
ready well before a new
hospital can be built. And
all of these things together
will give people out west
better access to health
care."
The final approval is
expected in 45 days from
the June 15 decision. If the
approval is appealed, the
case would go to the
Department of Administra-
tive Hearings. The process
could take as long as two
years.
Once the final Certificate
of Need is issued, it can no
longer be appealed.
Mr. Harman believes St.
Lucie Medical Center and
Lawnwood will appeal the
decision, but that Martin
Memorial will be allowed to
build a hospital in the end.
"It's now more of a ques-
tion of 'when' as opposed
to 'if,'" Mr. Harman said. "I
really do believe it will be
appealed and it will be
lengthy, but I think we will
prevail and we will build
this hospital."

abroad.
"In addition to what our
government does, private
charities and clubs some-
times help out the active
military personnel or vet-
erans and their depend-
ents," said Mr. Sowers.
"One is the Port St. Lucie
Legion Riders, a local
motorcycle club that raises
money to help veterans
getting re-established in
civilian life," he said.
Mr. Sowers said The
Mustard Seed Foundation
and the Catholic Charities
also offer aid or assistance
to military personnel and
their families.
Clubs affiliated with the
military, such as the Amer-
ican Legion and the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars also
help.
'Ask for assistance if you
are a dependent of military
personnel stationed else-
where," said Pam Daisey,
the Auxiliary President of
American Legion Post No.
126. "We would like to help
soldiers' families left
behind in any way we can.
Whether it's childcare, gro-
ceries or assistance with a
bill; our organization
wants to help the depend-
ents of military personnel
while the soldiers are away
in Afghanistan and Iraq.
We don't want anyone to
feel like they are totally
alone."
The American Legion
also offers transportation
from Stuart to the Veterans
Administration hospital in
West Palm Beach.
"We can't get a master
list of military and their
families because of privacy
laws, so we're getting the


word out on a person-to-
person basis," she said.
The phone number of the
American Legion Post No.
126, 3195 N.E. Savannah
Road, Jensen Beach, is (772)
334-6966
There are also churches
that help. Lori Lust makes
care packages for soldiers
along with other "Soldier
Angels" at her church,
Abundant Life Ministries, in
Stuart.
She knows first-hand
what it is like to have chil-
dren in harm's way, as three
of her son have served dur-
ing this Middle East con-
flict.
'At least 80 percent of our
church congregation have
family members in the mili-
tary and many are stationed
abroad," she said.
"We try especially to get
care packages to soldiers
who have little or no family.
It's important for them to
know that people here in
the United States really do
care about them and that
they are appreciated. I'm
just starting to find a sup-
port system in Stuart," said
Ms. Lust.
On Aug. 25 at noon, the
Soldiers' Angels will join the
Patriot Guard Riders to host
a barbecue for veterans at
the Orlando VA Healthcare
Center.

Abundant Life Ministries'
"Soldier Angels", visit abun-
dantlifestuart.com.
There is also help for vet-
erans and their families at
their time of death.
Ron Shaw is the Director
of the Veterans Burial and
Cremation Society, a private
business specializing in
helping veterans and their
spouses obtain burial bene-
fits.
"There are benefits that
most people don't know
about. We sometimes work
with Martin County Veter-
ans Services, a county pro-
gram for former members
of the U.S. Armed Forces
and their dependents, to get
benefits available to them
after active military serv-
ice," he said.
Mr. Shaw said as long as a
veteran is working with a
cemetery recognized by the
Veterans Burial and Crema-
tion Society, they can get a
cremation or burial at no
cost. This does not apply to
private facilities.

Veterans Burial and Crema-
tion Society, visit www.vet-

items to begin the school
year."

Christmas mAVEL



Christmas market tours are a great value


A after the sizzling high
ost of flights to
S urope for the
summer, it is a cool relief to
see low fares for a European
vacation.
The popular Christmas
markets of England,
Germany, Holland, France,
Belgium, Austria and
Switzerland are rich in
tradition with vibrant
evenings filled with mil-
lions of Christmas lights,
flickering candles on
Advent wreaths, air filled
with delicious aromas and
music.
Stop and listen to the
children singing carols on
the street corner by candle-
light. Witness the scenes
that you would only see on
Christmas cards.
This year, discover the
holidays of the past.
Traditionally, Christmas
markets took place in
December. Now, they start
in mid-November and are
usually over by the week
before Christmas.
Some say the tradition,
originated in Dresden,
Germany, about 600 years
ago so people could buy the
important things before the
harsh winter came.
Others believe it was a
celebration of Advent and
generally conducted near
local churches where
vendors were allowed to
sell food and goods to
celebrate the season.
Either way there are
thousands of Christmas
markets around Europe,


PATTY TOPPA
Travel columnist
and people flock to experi-
ence the season in both the
big cities as well as the rural
towns.
Each market has devel-
oped its own individual
character, influenced by its
region and traditions.
You can experience all of
the local foods, as well as
individual crafts that tell
the story.
There are handmade
ornaments, wooden toys,
dolls, candles and Advent
wreaths, as well as fine
chocolates, cheeses and the
famous gliihwein (hot
mulled wine).
Entire cities, as well as
small surrounding villages
are lit up with twinkling
lights.
There are many options
available if you want to see
this incredible wonderland.
Although most of the river
cruises have stopped for
the season, some gear up
just for "Christmas Market"
cruises along the Danube
and Rhine rivers.


From Basel to Cologne,
Budapest to Passau,
Cologne to Nuremberg, and
Nuremberg toVienna, all
have incredible journeys
that allowyou to experi-
ence how the Europeans
have been celebrating the
holiday for centuries.
Amadeus Waterways
offers an 11-night cruise
from $2,499 a person,
including airfare.
Collette Vacations offers
"Mozart's Christmas" tour
featuring the Christmas
Markets of Saltsburg, Linz,
Vienna and Prague for as
little as $2,099 a person.
The price is for eight days,
10 meals and includes
airfare.
Explore the cities associ-
ated with the life and times
of Mozart, one of the
world's greatest composers.
Visit historic sites, view
breathtaking scenery, enjoy
classical music, plus
browse and shop in the
traditional Christmas
markets.
Collette Vacations also
offers an Alpine Christmas
tour that allows you to stay
in one hotel in Innsbruck
and take day trips to
Munich, Oberammergau,
home of the internationally
known Passion Plays and
Saltzburg.
This eight-day tour
features a panoramic tour
of the Marienplatz, the
Glockenspiel, Olympic Park
and Neuschwantstein
Castle, as well a visit to Wies
Church, and Mirabel
Gardens, which was seen in


the movie, "The Sound of
Music."
All of this is from $1,999 a
person and includes airfare
from Orlando.
There are many Christ-
mas market tours and
cruises to choose from, all
of which include transfers,

Simple steps to achieve a great life


n the soul of a caterpillar
lives a beautiful butterfly
yearning to be set free.
In the soul of every human
on earth lives a beautiful,
magnificent purpose
wanting the same.
Sometimes we mistake
what the hunger is for.
We think it is for love of
another person, fame or
fortune and other worldly
comforts. The true hunger is
the yearning in our deeper
self to find our destiny.
The No. 1 job in life should
be to go inside, find our true
self, bring it out and set it
free. Much of our life is lived
in bondage to the world,
family, work or the different
hungers that enslave us and
keep us bound in the lower,
earthly nature.
It all comes down to the
quality of life and the level of
joywe feel.
How happy are you in life?
If the answer is anything


other than "very;" there is a
missing link. There is a
much better way to live than
to be hungry and unhappy.
It starts when the outer
ways no longer satisfy our
needs and we begin the
inner journey.
To find inner peace and
fulfillment we must begin to
follow our heart instead of
the head.
The process for mastery
over life begins when we let
go of negativity and trash
that has accumulated from
the past. We can't change
the past but we can learn
from it, bless it for what it
taught us, forgive it instead
of judging it, release it and
move forward.
A healthy life is a flowing
life. If you block a stream
from flowing, it will become
polluted and the fish will
die. Human life must flow as
well. We are supposed to be
channels not depositories of

JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide
the flow.
Is health an issue?
Find out where the
blockage of the energy is,
release it and health will
begin to return.
Next begin to feed your life
spiritually, emotionally,
mentally and physically
positive things that enrich it
instead of Jearing it down.
Renew your soul. Feel
safety instead of fear. Take a
little time each day to play
just for the pure joy of it.
A balanced life is a healthy
life. Then begin to make a
list of the top priorities in
life. If it doesn't make you
happy, don't do it. Who said
we have to suffer?
Listening to the gut
instincts will give us choices
based on how we feel, not
by what we think.
When we surrender to this
inner guidance and let it
work for us and through us,
change begins to happen.
Our stress level goes down,
we have more time and trust
and faith in the universe
increases. It is our job to
read the signs of renewed
joy and do things to
enhance it every day.
When positive increase
happens, others will take
notice and begin to wonder
whyyou are so happy and
they are not.
First take care of your own


and family needs. You did
most of the hard work to get
here. Then give back. Love
unconditionally.
Teach others how to find
the freedom and happiness
that you have. They have to
be ready and have the desire
in the heart for change.
This is a great life well lived
and entirely within your
means to accomplish by
taking these simple steps,
going within and making
wise choices.
The sweetest news is the
best is yet to come.

W all saw the
pictures of pop
star Britney
Spears driving with her
son on her lap.
A lot of people wondered
what she could have been
thinking.
We all know about seat
belts and safety, but
actually, the recommenda-
tions for keeping safe in
motor vehicles depends
on their ages and weights,
and is a little more compli-
cated that just buckling
up.
With summer vacations,
kids are home and travel-
ing with mom and dad or
visiting grandparents, and
these safety guidelines
need to be followed every
time a child is in any car.
Most accidents happen
close to home; don't be in
such a hurry that you risk
a child's safety or life.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administra-
tion recommends four
steps for kid safety:
Rear facing.
Forward facing
Booster
Seat belt
To provide infants with
the maximum protection,
they should be in the back
seat, the safest place in the '
vehicle, in a rear-facing
child safety seat.
At a minimum, the
NHTSA recommends that


.9


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
infants remain in a rear-
facing seat until they are at
least 1 and weigh at least
20 pounds.
If the seat you have has a
higher weight limit, keep
the child in it as long as
you can.
When children outgrow
the rear-facing seat, they
can graduate to a forward-
facing seat, still in the back
seat, until they reach the
upper weight or height
limit for the seat. That's
usually when the child is
about 4 and 40 pounds.
Once the child outgrows
the forward-facing seat, he
should ride in a booster
seat in the back seat, until
the vehicle's seat belts fit
properly.
A proper fit means that
the lap belt lies across the
upper thigh and the
shoulder belt fits across

the chest. This usually
happens when a child is
about 8 or about 4-feet, 9-
inches tall.
Children 13 and younger
should always be in the
back seat with the seat belt
on properly.
Never put the shoulder
strap under the child's arm
or behind the child's back.
This can cause internal
injuries in a crash.
The NHTSA suggests the
following tips to ensure a
safe trip with kids.
Everyone in the vehicle
needs a child safety seat,
booster seat or safety belt.
Those who are not buck-
led up can be thrown
around the car or outside
it, injuring themselves and
others.
There must be one seat
belt for each person.
Buckling two together,
even if both are children,
could result in injury to
both.
Never hold a child in
your lap. The child could
be crushed in a crash or
torn from the arms and
thrown from the vehicle.
Never ride in the cargo
hold of a station wagon,
van or pickup.
There are many types
of car seats. The "best"
one is the one that fits
your child and can be
installed properly.
For more information
about choosing and
installing a child safety
seat, visit www.nhtsa.gov.
The site includes child
safety installation tips,
product ratings, recalls
and other useful informa-
tion.
You can call the Depart-
ment of Transportation
Vehicle Safety Hotline at
(888) 327-4236.
You can also visit
www.seatcheck.org for
information about seat
belt laws and proper
installation, and find a
certified child passenger
safety technician in your
area to check your installa-
tion and make sure that
you've done it properly.
What could you have to
do that's more important
than your child's, or
grandchild's safety?

Delight your palate with



Italian-style cutlets, peppers


H ello, smart shoppers.
Hope you had a
good week.
Father's Day was over-
shadowed by Hometown
News' fifth anniversary.
Nothing in this world is
more important than a
tribute to good fathers, but
business is business.
Today a simple tribute to
all the men out there who
are doing the right thing, as


my husband did, and
hopefully, the sons we
raised.
I must give you a special
poem I found years ago that
I've framed and have on the
wall in the main bathroom.
It's signed anonymous, but I
feel it was written by a very
special man.

WOMAN
Was made from the rib of
man.
She was not created from
his head... to top him,
Nor from his feet... to be
stepped upon
She was made from his
side... to be equal to him
From beneath his arm...
to be protected by him:
Near his heart... to be
loved by him.

Women, I hope you
honored your husband,
father and the father of your
children even though he
may not have honored you
on your day. Teach him. A
belated happy Father's Day
to all you wonderful,
responsible men out there.
We need more of you.

Let's spice up life
with peppers

What is the one thing you
can make that would dress
up any simple dinner?
Fried peppers!
Loaded with fiber, nutri-
tion and vitamins, fried,
sweet peppers in any color


ARLENE BORG
Grammy Guru

complete a delicious
dinner.
We're about to celebrate
the Fourth of July.
Plan to fry up a huge
batch of peppers. They
freeze great. Grill some
sausages, chicken or any
kind of meat. Top your
choice with peppers.
Delicious.
A humble pork'chop or
steak becomes a spectacu-
lar dinner with the addition
of peppers.
When I was a child, mom
would occasionally make
Italian-style fried chicken
cutlets, served with a
squeeze of lemon and a side
of this wonderful vegetable.
I prefer green or red
peppers for the price and
their vitamin content.
Did you know that a red
bell pepper has twice the
amount ofVitamin C as an
orange?
My favorite pepper is the
Cubanelle; a long light
green or red, sweet pepper.
When I was a kid I remem-
ber them being called
Italianelle.
Know how to tell the
difference between a sweet
or hot pepper? Sweet
peppers usually have
rounded bumpy ends,
while hot peppers have
pointy ones.
Check out produce stores
or stands for the best price.
Sweet, roasted red
peppers will make an
ordinary sandwich a
gourmet's delight.
Forget the mayo or
mustard; drizzle lightly with
extra virgin olive oil.
Enjoy. See you next week.

FRIED PEPPERS
Serves four or more

Three large bell peppers,
any color, or four to six
Cubanelle peppers
2 tablespoons extra
virgin olive oil
Salt, pepper and paprika
Three or fourlarge


cloves garlic, peeled and
cut up
Thinly sliced onions
(optional)

For bell peppers, wash
and cut in large strips,
discarding the stem and
seeds. Dry on paper towels.
When using Cubanelle
peppers, try cooking them
whole.
Heat oil in skillet. Fry
peppers slowly over medi-
um-low heat, lightly
browning on all sides.
Keep a close eye they can
bum in a flash. When
peppers are half cooked,
add onions, garlic and
sprinkle with salt, pepper
qnd paprika. Cook, turning
occasionally until tender.
Serve warm or cold.

ROASTED RED BELL
PEPPERS

Place washed peppers in
pan on lower rack of oven.
Broil until the skin turns
almost black, turning until
entire pepper is roasted.
Place peppers in a paper
or plastic bag. When cool
enough to handle peel, seed
and tear into large seg-
ments.

ITALIAN-STYLE
CHICKEN CUTLETS
Serves four

1 large chicken breast

Remove fat and nerve;
separate lobes and cut
horizontally into fairly thin
slices.

For egg wash: Mix 1 egg or
egg white and 1/2 cup milk
with seasonings.
For crumb mixture:Add I
1/2 cups plain bread-
crumbs to seasonings
(listed below).
Seasonings:
1 teaspoon grated Italian
cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic
powder
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Salt and pepper

Dip cutlets in wash then
crumb mixture. Fry in a
small amount of canola oil
until golden on both sides.
Add more oil as needed.
Drain on paper towels.
This takes only a few
minutes. Cutlets cook fast
and over cooking will make
them tough.

Low-fat magic: Prepare
cutlets as above, but do not
fry. Place on a cookie sheet
that has been treated with
cooking spray. Spray top of
cutlets.
Bake in a hot, 400 degree F
oven for 10 minutes; they
will brown and cook just
right.

Just follow the wires to easily


hook, unhook your computer


Over the last couple of
weeks it seems I have
helped more people
move their computers than
I've ever seen,
Usually I get called to help,
because behind most
computers is a rat's nest of
wires.
Seriously, look behind any
computer and you are
bound to see a massive
jumble of wires and cables.
Looks pretty intimidating,
especially ifyou don't know
what's what.
One way some people
approach it is to use little
numbered strips of masking
tape around each wire. On
the computer, stick match-
ing number stickers next to
eachplug.
This way, when you go to
plug all of the wires back in,
just match up the cables
with the numbers.
Of course, you'd have to
number them before you.
unplug all the wires.
Most of the time I tell
people they don't need my
help. Most of those wires
can only plug into one
socket so it's pretty hard to
hook it up wrong.
If you just take it cable by
cable, most of the wires can
just be plugged back in to
their socket. You hardly even
have to know what wire's
what. Just match up the
cable plugs to the holes and
before you know it, 80
percent of the machine is
hooked up.
What about the other 20
percent? Those remaining
wires that will fit into more
than one hole need a little
more attention.
The best way to handle
these cables is to follow
them to the other end and
see what's attached .
If the wire you are follow-
ing leads to a speaker, then


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This
the end that plugs into the
computer wil need to plug
into an audio or "speaker
out" plug.
Examine only the plugs on
the computer that the wire
will fit into, and look for a
label or some printing
pressed into the metal.
You should be able to
determine a microphone in
or "mic" jack and a speaker
output or "spk out" jack.
USB connections, on the
other hand, are inter-
changeable.
Computers these days will
typically have two or more
rectangular USB connec-
tions in the back, front and
even sometimes on the
keyboard itself.
Most of the time, USB
cables will work plugged
directly into any available
USB slot.
If the wire you are follow-
ing is a phone type and
there are two possible plugs
to it in, understand that the
phone line goes from the
wall to the computer's "line
in" jack.
Again, the jacks should
have some type of label on
them.
Sometimes the jacks are
depicted with a little icon of
a phone for the phone jack
and a little square that


matches the shape of a
phone plug for the line jack.
With some careful inspec-
tion, you should find that
one jack is labeled "line"
(this one goes from the
computer to the wall). The
other jack is there so you
can plug an extension
phone into the computer so
you can talk on that line.
If the cable that you are
following leads to your
keyboard, then find the wire
that comes from the mouse
as well.
The mouse and keyboard
plugs often will be identical.
Examine them carefully and
you should see a little
mouse icon or a little
keyboard icon embossed
right on the plug.
If you look closely at the
computer, you should see
matching mouse/keyboard
markings. Match up the
plugs and you're all set.
The temptation is to get a
bunch of wire-ties and
"clean up" this rat's nest.
In theory, that seems like a
logical move. In reality, it's
usually an exercise in
frustration.
As soon as you tie all those
wires into a nice clean
bundle, Murphy's Law kicks
in and you'll have to unplug
and remove some cable for
one reason or another.
That usually means
cutting each and every wire-
tie and making amess of
your nice bundle.
This is an immutable law
of computer science; you
can't beat it.
So, the next time you're
faced with dealing with the
wires behind your machine,
just remember that they're
not as confusing as they
look.
Just take it one wire at a
time and before you know it,
you'll be able to unhook


your computer and hook it
back up without calling for
help:
Just resist the urge to
bundle those wires up and
you'll be OK.
Sean McCarthy has worked
with computers since 1978.

Defeated the Iraqi army and dispersed them.

non-Iraqis.
We just recently passed the 3,000 mark in fatalities in
Iraq.
While none of us want to see any fatalities, by com-
parison to other military ventures of the past, the
number is almost insignificant.
There are more people killed on Florida highways
each year than have been killed in Iraq in four years.
The difference is, the deaths in Iraq are honorable
because they are ,so that you have the right to kill your-
self on the highwayhere in this country.
I would truly be interested in seeing a statistical
comparison between the Bush and Clinton adminis-
trations as to which had more corruption scandals.
Better yet, which had the most convictions.
Personally, I don't consider a thriving economy, low
unemployment and low inflationary trends ,very dam-
aging to our country, nor are they shortcomings.
As for Clinton's budget surplus, it merely illustrated
how overtaxed we were.
Government should not have a surplus and believe
me, the Democrats try their best to see to it that we
don't have a surplus.


Handicapped permits only
issued to individuals
This is response to the individual who wrote "Issue
permits to handicapped, not their cars."
In Florida, the handicapped placard is issued to an
individual and that individual's driver's license number
is printed on the placard. If that placard is being used
in a handicapped spot and that individual is not in that
car, then they get a ticket.
Now I don't know about the cars that have the handi-
capped plates, whether they are issued I don't know
how they do that.
Editor's note: According to the Florida Department of
Motor Vehicles Web site, www.dmv.org/fl-florida/dis-
abled-drivers.php, only people who receive a disabled
permit are entitled to apply for a disabled license plate.
Therefore, both permits and license plates are only valid
for the individual who is disabled. "Anyone who unlaw-
fully uses a disabled parking permit could be fined
$1,000 or spend six months in jail."

our community stating that members
of Molly's House founding family were
removed from our board of directors.
The rumors are absolutely untrue. As
stated above, Kevin Sharkey was
approved as an advisory board mem-
ber. This is not without precedence
since we have a former board member
currently in an advisory capacity who
has served for several years. This person
continues to be active in Molly's House

Finally, I wish to thank our communi-

on the


rise

ohn Wilkes, who was
recently named chief
operating officer of the
yric Theatre in Stuart, has
also taken on the job of
consultant to the Sunrise
Theatre in Fort Pierce.
The new assignment
follows the resignation of
David Jenkins as executive
director of the Sunrise.
Mr. Wilkes, who was a
consultant to the Sunrise
during its restoration, sat
down with me recently to
discuss this latest chal-
lenge.
"While I'm looking at the
entire operation, the main
challenge is to put togeth-
er a season f6r 2007-2008
because there wasn't one
show booked," he said.
"Most venues have 95
percent of the season
committed and have gone
to (print) the brochure by
this point. My intention is
to put together a season
and a brochure and
announce it around Labor
Day. We hope to have a
series of diverse programs
with something for
everyone. It won't be a full
schedule; we will continue
to add programs as
appropriate."
Mr. Wilkes says that
working with the commu-
nity is a high priority.
"We want to make the
Sunrise accessible to the
community and that,
includes working with
groups in the region," he
said.
"The Sunrise pays its
ushers. I know of no other
theater in Florida that
does that. We will be
recruiting volunteers to be
ushers and ticket takers.
We're saying to the com-
munity, 'we want you to

part of being human and letting humor and joy
keep us safely balanced.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Wonderful motivation is fueled by using your
warm, caring nature to help others. You are at your
best when you are able to communicate your
visions and dreams. You are in heaven on earth'
when those in your circle get it, respond and take
action. Wow! You are a miracle worker. Keep the
spirit flowing.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
This is your time of the zodiac year. The question
is, "What are you going to do with this great heart
power?" The answer is simple. First, give thanks
for all you have been given this year. Second, find
ways to rally the family together and share more
love. Third, go to the world and teach others what
a spiritual life is all about.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Venus in Leo increases your motivation because of
the love that lives in your heart. You may have
worldly inclinations but your heart and spirit rule
you. It has to be all right on the inside before it can
be OK on the outside. The main lesson is to follow
your heart and gut instincts first. This is your truest

Virgo-Aug. 23-SeptL 22
Your generous attitude to others is your greatest
blessing. It starts with your family, friends and
associates. You are happy. Your energy is strong.
Your spirit is high. Refuse to let your own
demands pull you down and get you stuck in the
worldly side. Stay focused on today and every-
thing will work out.

Libra-Sept. 23-Od. 22
It's time to surrender to your inner guidance, get
your own will out of the way and let spiritual guid-

Have you ever thought that you don't have to be
balanced all the time? It's time to rejoice and let
the higher power flow and connect you to the
source.

is strong. It knows the truth. Let your inner know-

ININ a ENTERTI HINMNT


Toria Sommers makes a new name for herself


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
You may know her as
Jill Erickson, and you
may have seen her this
past season in the
StarStruck Performing
Arts Center presentation
of "Pajama Game."
Perhaps you've heard
her sing each week at the
Morningside Church.
Now, under her stage
name of Toria Sommers,
the Port St. Lucie resi-
dent has released her
first CD, "Be Myself," and
she spoke recently about
what her career and her
music.
"I've been performing
since I was 5," she says.
"Singing was my thing. I
had visions of becoming
a star in New York, but I
had conservative parents
who felt I needed to get a
job first. I sought out
something that was not a
four-year degree and
dental came up. I per-
formed in college (at
IRCC) during my dental
education."
At a college audition,
she needed an accompa-
nist with whom to
rehearse. A young man
in the music program,
John Erickson,. offered to
play for her; that collab-
oration led to marriage
in 1989 and to daughters
Emily, 12, a student at
Lincoln Park Academy
and Olivia, 9, who
attends Fairlawn Ele-
mentary School in Fort
Pierce.
The singer had per-
formed at Morningside
Church for years and she
had many requests for a
CD.
"Initially, I thought, it
was laughable," she says.
"I think I have a unique'
sound but I never
thought people would
want to listen to it at
home. It took two years
of convincing. A gentle-
man from the church,
who wanted to remain
anonymous, approached
and offered the financial


means t make the CD
and then Nashville song-
writer/producer Ken
Harrell, who is involved
in his own ministry,
came to sing. Our Praise
Team leader introduced
us.
"We hit it off and when
he came back a few
months later, I talked to
him about the details of
producing a CD. I real-
ized he'd never heard me
sing, and I auditioned
for him in my car. When
the funds became avail-
able, in April, 2006, I
called him, and by July, I
was in Nashville in a


recording studio."
Ken Harrell brought
some of his own songs
and some 150 songs
from other songwriters.
"Most of the songs I
was pulled to are "been
there, done that,"
songs," she says. "I've
lived a few years, had
relationships, married,
had the babies. I like the
songs about woman
coming into herself who
knows what she wants.
There's also a spiritual
background, with a
faith-based moral to
most of the songs.
"The title track, "Be

only one that can be
myself; I think I'm
unique.' It's one of the
first songs I picked. God
created us individually
to do on this Earth what
He would have, us do.
People will love you for
who you are."
The songs also talk
about subjects not often
discussed in church,

"Our other main priority
is to make sure the opera-
tion is run on a consistent
basis. It is a city-run

equitable for all groups,
and not have exceptions

"I also have to take a

and about following

been positive, and Ms.

We're looking for corporate
sponsorship and that could
include media sponsor-
ship. It's a great opportuni-
ty in the growing market of
Fort Pierce and the whole
area. We are inviting
corporate sponsors to help
fund a show or shows."
Mr. Wilkes also empha-
sized the importance of
education and outreach to
the schools, including field
trips to the theater and


known to sing while
cleaning teeth, she
hopes to work with
bands and even tour.
Jennifer Jones, execu-
tive director of
StarStruck, has worked
with Ms. Sommers in a
variety roles, and is
excited about, her
friend's new venture,
,although she has a bit of
trouble getting used to
her stage name.
"Jill is an incredibly
talented performer, a
brilliant comedienne


special performances for
school children.
"It's important to offer
this to the community," he
says. "It also helps build
the audiences of the future.
Perhaps if we have an act
that would be of interest,
we could hold them over to
do one or two shorter
school shows."
Also on tap is a gala that
will serve as a fundraiser
and a celebration of the
artists who will be per-
forming at the Sunrise this
year. Mr. Wilkes hopes it
will become an annual
event that will help to


with a fabulous voice.
More importantly, she's
got a warm heart and
she's a great friend."

He says that it will be up
to the City of Fort Pierce do
decide whether to hire a
permanent executive
director or look at a
management firm to run
the theater. For now, he's
got enough on his plate
with his two jobs.
"It's clear after two weeks
that we have to look at the

Salmon: Farmed vs. Wild?

Not Anymore!


II your lunch order in...
It will be ready
when you arrive!


VcIU, lUImV-- -V.------- -


(Syndicated News) In recent years, much
of the news coverage involving the salmon
industry has centered
on the health impacts
of wild versus farmed
salmon -- most
notably differing lev-
els of chemicals (both
good and bad) found
in the two types. To a
lesser extent, media
coverage has also sur-
rounded the economi- -
cal impact that the
farming of salmon has
had on the industry as
a whole. While the battle over health impacts
continues to rage on, however, a recent report
released by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
seems to have cleared up any negativity
towards the economic impact of salmon
farming.
"The report is important in that it reveals
the popularity of farmed salmon is not a sig-
nificant detrimental factor to the economic
status of wild salmon harvesters," states
Rafael Puga of Salmon of the Americas
(http://SalmonoftheAmericas.com). "Farmed


salmon and wild salmon both have their
niche, and the report reveals what many
industry insiders have
known for years -- that the
salmon industry would be
doing itself a huge disserv-
ice by eliminating farmed
salmon."
In addition to eliminat-
ing speculation that the
farming of salmon was gen-
erally hurting commercial
fisheries in Alaska and the
Pacific Northwest, the
report even went so far as
to add that salmon farming
has advanced the industry in ways that tradi-
tional, wild-caught methods could have
never achieved on their own.
One of the study's authors, Dr. Gunnar
Knapp, feels the report does more than clear
up any misconceptions about the economic
status of the salmon industry -- it introduces
a new element of relevance to the debate.
"A fundamental point ... is that the debate
should not be about wild versus farmed, but
whether each method of production is being
done right," says Knapp.

and sex.
Its 1996 debut was given
added poignancy because
Mr. Larson died from an
aortic aneurysm one week
before the opening, at the
age of 36.
Jennifer Jones, the
show's director,, hopes to
remain true to the Mr. Lar-
son's themes.
"The theme I am looking
to pull out is about love;
the love one has for friends
and for their art and their
passion,' she says.
"Jonathan Larson wrote
'no day but today.' It's so
important to live in the
moment and not waste
time thinking about the
past or worrying about the
future. He was all about
living in the moment. It
was a time when AIDS
meant imminent death
and he knew that every
day is a gift."
Peter Jones, musical
director for the produc-
tion, says that the show
connects with a younger
generation because of its
contemporary style and
themes.
"It ushers in a whole new
generation of Broadway
theatergoers that other-


wise wouldn't be so excit-
ed by classical Broadway,"
he says.
"Some kids that get excit-
ed about 'Rent' may know
'Hair' or 'Aida' or 'Mamma
Mia.' They're already in
tune with rock musicals.
That is Broadway to
them."
The talented cast
includes Alicia Tomasko as
Maureen, Kelsey Moore as
Mimi, Jenni Lawton as
Joanne, James Channing
as Collins, Philippe Arroyo
as Angel, Sam Haas as
Roger, Matty Colonna as


Mark and Ariosto Reyes as
Benny.
Cory Jeacoma, 13, a stu-
dent at Hidden Oaks Mid-
dle School, spoke about
what appearing in "Rent"
means to an aspiring
young performer.
"I think it's a great show.
It's not only that Jon Lar-
son died. It's about love
and everyone wants love.
It's not about fairy tales.
It's about real life situa-
tions and. it really hits
home."

the sign comes. This puts the
probability of success square-
ly in your corner.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Hello archer and goal- setter
of the universe. Being the last
fire sign has a great responsi-
bility. It gives you the authori-
ty to bhe highest inspira-
tion. The high fire of spirit was
given to you at birth. Be a
guiding light. Help others on
the path of truth. Do this
above all other things and
your life is justified.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan 19
Listen to your inner guidance,
move forward and continue
to make progress. You are on
a positive roll in life. Your
renewed self respect and love
is like a magnet drawing
more of life's greatest bless-
ings. This positive energy
should translate into greater
peace, love, health and abun-
dance. You are on a terrific
roll.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Keep the ideas coming from
the heart and the creative
genius living in you will con-
tinue to create new and
mighty causes that give your
life special meaning and
powerful opportunities to
transform your world and
make it better for everyone
for a long time to come. You
have a true blessing on your
life.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
The two basic ways we live in
this world are by chance or by
choice. The mind lives by
chance. The heart lives by
choice. Pisces is the strongest
heart in the zodiac. You are so
special. Be bold. Surrender
totally and listen. You know.


Don't worry about what oth-
ers think. Do what feels right
and everyone wins.

"CAR DEALERS-


SMARTEN UP"

YOUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY HAVE.


EARL STEWART

TOYOTA


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
of education and sophistication are much
higher today. Your customers are no different.
My remarks are made sincerely and with a
positive intent toward you and your custom-
ers. I am not trying to tell you
how to run your business. I "A'y C I
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectaati
customers. ,


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

We need to add
to our team in all
departments...
sales, service,
parts, body shop,
and accounting.


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


s


of educa
sophistic
much high


Now, here Is the good news. After eliminat-
ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop
by about the amount of the dealer fee, but
my customers realized I was now giving them
a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the-
door price with no "surprises". And the word
spread. My volume of car sales began to rise
rapidly. Sure, I was making a few hundred
dollars less per car, but I was selling a lot
more cars. I was and am selling cars to many
of your former customers. My bottom line
has improved, not because I eliminated the
dealer fee, but because I was
towers' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.

I'm not going to tell you that

One of the things that I
love about summer
is taking the family
on long weekends away
from home.
Being the golf nut that I
am, wherever we go must
have golf.
My family, being the way
they are, demands that
wherever we go there must
be a plethora of amenities.
Just a week ago, I had to
drive to Georgia's Golden
Isles to pick up my son.
Having never been to the
area for more than a
moment to get fuel, I had
no idea what to expect or
what I would find.
What I found was that
when you cross an old
dance club with a luxury
hotel on the beach and a
fantastic golf course, you
get the King and Prince
Beach and Golf Resort on
St. Simon's Island, Ga.
I had hit the jackpot!

brought in some "insur-
ance" or the people respon-
sible grew bored of arson or
simply ran out of matches.
Today, the King and
Prince is a beautiful,
historic seaside retreat,
where guests can easily find
luxury, relaxation, inspira-
tion and recreation.
After a multi-million
dollar renovation, the resort
features 186 guest rooms,
including two- and three-
AMMER bedroom villas and six
mist specialty suites.
While our family enjoyed
a three-bedroom villa with
y built an an ocean view, the Hamp-
n. r ton House is possibly the
and Prince most perfect accommoda-
the "king" tion for a golf group,
the dance whether big or small. With
the dance five bedrooms, just as many
bathrooms, a pair of
they made kitchens, a large lawn and a
then they location set off from the rest
eir own. of the resort's guests, it's just
ith break- the place for a sometimes
days was rowdy golf group to crash
I grudges, and play.
e lub was Speaking of playing, while
iree times half my family enjoyed the
either pool and the miles of
beach, my son and I
headed off tothe Hampton
Club Golf Course to test our
game in a setting.that I
hardly ever see.
Hampton Club, about 20
minutes or so from the
resort, is a delightful
change from my usual
course fare in south Florida.
The word of the day at the
Hampton Club was "trees,"
and plenty of them.
I have never in my life
seen so many beautiful
oaks lining the fairways.
The course features a
wonderful variety of holes.
In fact, the middle of the
back nine winds out
through the marsh flats
providing a welcome
contrast to the tree-lined
fairways on most of the
other holes.
With four sets of tees, the
ce course can play as long as
6,465 yards to as short as
5,233 yards.
W- There is bound to be a set


of tees to fit every golfer no
matter the ability or
challenge desired.
There are long and short
par-3s, a devilish, yet
reachable-in-two par 5, and
smooth rolling greens.
I usually can name my
favorite hole after playing a-
course for the first time.
This was not the case at
the Hampton Club.
I found them all to have
their own charm and each
to be so different from the
rest that I will not play
favorites.
On our journey around
the course, we saw plenty of
wildlife. We saw several
species of birds, watched
an alligator enjoy a fish
lunch and rabbits tasting
the clover.
We didn't get to put any
birds down on the score-
card, but that hardly took
away from a very enjoyable
and relaxing round of golf.
After golf, my family went
on a short bicycle ride to
the historic downtown area
to take in the centuries-old,
working lighthouse and
more.
Here we found loads of
shops and restaurants te fill
our day and our bellies.
Just up the road from the
resort is Fort Frederica
National Monument, where
in 1736 Gen. James
Oglethorpe established
Georgia's first military
outpost. Nearby is Christ
Church, built in 1886 and
the spot where John Wesley,
the father of Methodism,
first preached in America.

BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer

Seven years ago, Kason
Gabbard regularly took
the mound for Indian
River Community College
in Fort Pierce. On May 20,
he took the mound at
Fenway Park for the
Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox called up
the tall southpaw from
Triple-A Pawtucket to
help them out of a bind
this spring when a make-
up game was thrown in to
the schedule for the first
act of a day-night double
header against the
Braves. With injuries to
the team's pitching staff,
they needed a pinch start
arid turned to one of their
up-and-coming young
guns.
Gabbard did the job,
earning the win after giv-
ing up two runs on six
hits and striking out
seven over five innings of
work.
"I don't know how to
explain it. It's so alive. The
crowd is unbelievable,"
Gabbard said of pitching
in Boston. "Your confi-
dence level just goes up."
But after leaving the
mound to a standing ova-
tion from Red Sox Nation,
Gabbard was sent ,back
down before the second
game of the twin bill.
But that's,OK with him.
He knows it won't be his
last time in the show,
mostly because it wasn't
his first either.
The Vero Beach resident
saw his first Major League
action in 2006. That sea-
son he made seven
appearances for the Red
Sox, four starts, going 1-
3 with a 3.51 ERA. It Was
a crazy year for Gabbard,
but nothing that he did-
n't expect in his first
time with the big league
club.
"It was one of those
things where I went up,
then was sent down. I
thought I was going to be
traded at one point too.
Seattle was interested.
But then they took me
aside and told me I was
alright," said Gabbard,
whose Uncle is Vero
Beach city manger Jim
Gabbard. "They kind of
send you mixed signals
sometimes."
Considering that Gab-
bard has been a member
of the Red Sox organiza-
tion since 2001, it's likely
he won't be moving any-
where soon.
Selected in the 29th
round of the Major
League draft in 2000 by
Boston as a, high school
senior from Royal Palm
Beach High School, Gab-
bard played one year at
IRCC before moving on to
the minor leagues. In the


last six years he has estab-
lished himself as one of
the bright prospects with-
in the organization and a
member of a strong
young pitching staff that
includes Jon Lester, David
Pauley and current Sox
closer Jonathan Papel-
bon.
"It's great. They always
traded away our top
prospects, but now
they've been sticking with
them," said Gabbard.
"There are maybe five
guys on (Pawtucket) with-
out big league experi-
ence."
This year Gabbard is 6-2
for Pawtucket and one of
the team's ace pitchers.
Former IRCC head coach
Mike Easom isn't sur-
prised at all when he
hears about Gabbard's
success. He remembers
the lanky lefty as a fierce
competitor who always
wanted to win.
"He's a throwback guy.
He's probably one of the
top five players I coached
in 31 years at IRCC," said
Easom who now coaches
at John Carroll High
School. "If we had more
guys like him I'd probably
still be coaching (at
IRCC)."
When he first came to
Fort Pierce, Gabbard
almost exclusively relied
on his fastball and curve.
But it was Easom who
taught the youngster
how to throw a changeup
and other off-speed
pitches, which made
Gabbard a more com-
plete pitcher.
"(Mike) Easom was one
of the best coaches I ever
had," said Gabbard.
Being able to play with
veterans like Sox catcher
Jason Varitek and pitcher
Curt Schilling is also
something that Gabbard
relishes. After the initial
rookie hazing in his first
few starts, he just feels
like one of the guys when
he goes up to the big-
league club.
"I've been around them
now. The first week you
got to earn it," said Gab-
bard. "Now they just tell
me, 'just do what you've
been doing in minors.
Don't change anything
'cause you don't need
to.'"
Gabbard hopes to make
a few more starts for
Boston this season, and
possibly join the team for
a post-season run. But
right now he is just happy
to play whatever role the
organization wants him
to, even if that is in the
minor leagues.
"It's awesome," said
Gabbard. "This is what
you play for. You want to
play for the best team and
stay there and win a
World Series."

EDDIE HUGGINS started his own company in 1990 after many
years of practical experience with several land development com-
panies as a heavy construction equipment operator and later, as a
supervisor over the projects. His business is located in the heart
of Martin County, Florida, where he employs 75 local residents.
For more than 17 years, Eddie Huggins and The Eddie Huggins
Land Grading Co have successfully completed numerous site
work projects for private developers, general contractors and
individual property owners throughout Martin and St, Lucie
Counties.
In addition to our diverse earthwork construction operation, The
Eddie Huggins Land Grading Co continues to be a major supplier
of fill, sand and rock materials for local contractors and develop-
ers.
Recently added to our vast line of services is construction and
demolition debris removal using 20 c/y and 10 c/y dumpsters and
installation of both Bahia and Floratam sod. This provides our
customers with a "full" service site contractor.
The company provides seasoned professionals at all levels...from
on-the-job tradesmen to skilled estimators and management. We
employ equipment operators and drivers that are "industry pros"
who understand and appreciate the meaning of quality and pro-
fessionalism.
The Eddie Huggins Land Grading Co is considered one of the
area's most reputable site work contractors. The company has
enjoyed continued growth over the years, predominantly by its
reputation for high quality, thorough, and timely
completion of its projects.
