reason for less
bus service
BY RITA HART


Staff writer
STUART Martin Coun-
ty residents who need
public transportation to
get to work, medical
appointments and shop-
ping will find it harder to
reach their destinations
come July 2.
On that date, Commu-
nity Coach, a public tran-
sit system that annually
serves 13,000 "transporta-
tion disadvantaged" rid-
ers; will be forced to cut
-back staff, bus routes and.
hours of operation due to
substantial decreases in
federal and state funding.
In addition, one-way fares
for advance reservation,
curb-to-curb service will
increase from $1 to $1.50.
Roger Eckert, director of
transportation for Com-

changes are unrelated to
Florida's recent tax reform
measures, although those

Habitat dedicates




Indiantown -


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
INDIANTOWN-
Through hard work and a
little outside help, five
Indiantown families real-
ized their dreams of own-
ing their own home.
The families gathered
on June 23 in the drive-
way of a brand-new
home, one of five recently
completed by Habitat for
Humanity with the assis-
tance of several Martin
County businesses, vol-
unteers and the new
homeowners themselves.
The Rev. Wanda Hale,
pastor of Bible Teachers
International in
Indiantown, blessed the
homes and the families
and said, "Through this,
lives will change."
They already have. The
homeowners, most of
whom are single moth-
ers, were required to put
in at least 200 hours of
"sweat equity" in the


building of the homes
and make tax escrow pay-
ments, in exchange for a
30-year, interest-free
mortgage. Most of the
new homeowners also
worked to help build
other Habitat homes in
Indiantown.
Each house had a Mar-
tin County business
sponsor the project.
Employees of each busi-
ness volunteered a mini-
mum of 200 hours to help
build one home.
Those local businesses
were Stuart Jet Center,
Stuart Yacht and Country
Club, Bay State Milling
and First Bank of
Indiantown, Indiantown
Co-Generation Power
Supplier and Gulfstream
Business Bank.
The employees and vol-
unteers were on hand to
witness the dedication of
each home, realizing the
impact of what was

Michelle Reilly, execu-

icant the homes are, riot

but for the volunteers as
well.
"It is a blessing to come

in even further reductions
in services.
"Trips equal people,"
said Mr. Eckert. "If you go
to the doctor and come
home, that's two trips. If
we are looking at the 31
percent reduction in serv-
ices that will take place
July 2, we project it could
result in a reduction of
35,000 one-way trips. And
that is before what may
happen with the county
in October," he said.
Making matters even
worse, the decreased
funding comes at a time


when fuel costs are
extremely high.
According to Mr. Eckert,
over 70 percent of Com-
munity Coach passengers
are not senior citizens.

ice is utilized by such
nonprofit agencies as

developmental disabili-
ties such as Down's Syn-
drome and cerebral palsy.
Keith Muniz, chief exec-
utive officer of ARC, said,
"We don't yet know the
whole impact this will
have, but we are trying to
prepare for the worst."
Mr. Muniz explained
that the people served by
ARC don't have driver's
licenses.
"We work with them on
a daily basis to help attain
the highest level of inde-
pendence they can
achieve. Part of that is
that they go to doctors,
grocery shopping or work
every day. Their sole
source of transportation
is Community Coach,"
said Mr. Muniz.
In addition to the
increased fare, changes in
services will include:
*Reduction in hours of
operation Community
Coach currently runs
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
On July 2, it will change to
7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mon-
day through Friday.
*Bus routes will be cut
from 27 to 18.
*Supervisory, office per-
sonnel, drivers and
scheduling staff will be
reduced by 30 percent.
Community Coach
operates fixed-route shut-
tle services on Monday
through Friday in
Indiantown and on Tues-
days and Fridays in Stu-
art. These routes will not
be affected, and the fare
for these fixed-routes will
remain at $1.
Mr. Eckert said the
changes are within the
agency's guidelines for
making management
decisions. However, any
changes to fares, routes or
staff above those that will
take place July 2 require
public hearings.
"We made changes
within our guidelines for
service policy changes.
But when you face that
type of reduction and are
in the business of people
helping people, the great-
est change will be in staff
reductions, and unfortu-
nately, this is what has
happened," he said.
The reduction in Com-
munity Coach's services
will add a burden to those
agencies in the business
of assisting people who
are dealing with chal-
lenges every day.
"You and I take for
granted our transporta-
tion," said Mr. Muniz.
"But they build their
whole lives around it, and
we just cut that in half. So
now they have to adjust
their lives even more,
because their options
have become even further
limited."

Patrol of sandbar areas to increase

In an effort to prevent or reduce the number of inci-
dents resulting from drinking and disorderly conduct
over the summer months, the Martin County Sheriff's
Office Marine and Community Oriented Policing units
have joined together to increase patrols of the sandbar
areas of the Intracoastal Waterway.
According to the Sheriff's Office Web site, the Commu-
nity Oriented Policing has a "philosophy of full-service
personalized policing where the same deputy is assigned
to a specific geographical area on a permanent basis,
working in a proactive partnership with citizens and
businesses to identify and solve problems. The focus of
this unit is not only responding to crime, but preventing
crime before it occurs."

Local state representative wins award

Rep. William D. Snyder (R-Stuart) has received the 2007
Outstanding Legislator Award from the Florida Council
Against Sexual Violence.
The award was presented to Rep. Snyder on June 21 at
the agency's annual conference in Daytona Beach.
Earlier this month, Gov. Charlie Crist signed into law a
Crime Victims bill sponsored by Rep. Snyder. As a result,
victims of sexual battery and lewd and lascivious
assaults will no longer be required to undergo a poly-
graph exam as a condition of furthering an investigation.
Further, the new law allows Floridians who are victims
of violent crime overseas to receive the same victims'
assistance monies available to those who are victims of
violent crime in the United States.
At the time the bill was signed into law, Rep. Snyder
said in a statement, "It is vital that the criminal justice
system be ever mindful of the horrendous effects that
sexual crimes have on victims and of our collective
responsibility to alleviate their suffering and prevent
them from further pain and humiliation."

Martin County Sheriff's Office
sued over handcuffing incident
Claiming that a Martin County Sheriff's deputy failed
to notice the diminished capacity of her arm, a disability
she's had since birth, Palm City resident Line Determann
has sued the Martin County Sheriff's Office over injuries
she allegedly received when she was handcuffed..
Ms. Determann's son, Kai Jai Determann, was being
pursued by Sheriff's Deputy Robert Kohl on July 14, 2003
when the deputy handcuffed Ms. Determann in a Publix
parking lot.
Kai Jai Determann was charged with possession of a
controlled substance and resisting arrest without vio-
lence, charges that were later dropped.
Ms. Determann claims in her suit that she suffered
additional disability as a result of the handcuffing and no
longer has use of her arm.
Deputy Kohl has not been named in the lawsuit.
Ms. Determann, who is seeking more than $15,000 in
damages, is requesting a jury trial.

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

Experts: Rain causes rise in mosquitoes


BY MATT DONEGAN
Staff writer

The lack of rainwater has
. prevented countless mos-
quito eggs from hatching,'
but eggs stockpiled during
the drought are now
hatching as normal sum-
mer rain patterns return,
experts agree.
'Any population of mos-
quitoes that might come
off of smaller rainfalls lay
their eggs, then a long
period of time goes by
where not a lot of mosqui-
toes come off, but a lot of
eggs are laid, then a major
rainfall comes, every ditch
is flooded, and all of those
egg banks start coming off
at the same time," said St.
Lucie County Mosquito


Control director Jim David.
The result is a huge
increase in the number of
the pests, and the entire
Treasure Coast is suscepti-
ble.
In Martin County, mos-
quito control director
Gene Lemire said there's
"an enormous buildup of
eggs."
"We're having a wet, dry,
wet, dry season," he said.
"Anytime there's water on
the ground for a few days,
then you have a mosquito
hatch out five or six days
later. That's what we're
experiencing right now."
During Florida's last
major drought in 2001, Mr.
Lemire said the area expe-
rienced a "terrible" mos-
quito season. Mosquito

the drought, he said. The
result was a lower popula-
tion last year, he said.
But now the salt marsh
mosquitoes, the predomi-
nant species in the area,
are breeding in areas
where they haven't bred in
three or four years, he said.
The area surrounding the
North River Shores devel-
opment in Stuart has been
particularly troublesome.
In Indian River County,
there was an upsurge in
mosquitoes following a
heavy rainfall three weeks
ago.
"We're not going to see
that again anytime soon
until the rainfall comes
back," said Don Shroyer,
Indian River County mos-
quito control medical
entomologist.
But just because this has
been a dry year does not
mean local mosquito con-
trol is not an issue.

water fluctuations, and
therefore minimize mos-
quito hatching. Spraying
those areas with pesticides
over and over again is not
only too costly, but it's no
longer considered envi-
ronmentally friendly, Mr.
Shroyer pointed out.
"The public often does-
n't appreciate our specific
control measures in the
mosquito impound-
ments," he. said. "We're
doing something useful. It
makes barrier islands,
inhabitable."
With the exception of the
drought, this has been a
fairly unremarkable year
for mosquito control in
Indian River County so far,
Mr. Shroyer said.
"But that could change
at any time with tropical
storms," he said. ,
In St. Lucie County, Mr.
David said the mosquito
control division is "pretty
dad gum busy."
"We have had just
enough rainfall to produce
broods from the St. Lucie
River and Indian River
Lagoon," he said.
Unusually high tides in
those areas have also
caused hatching.
"All you have to have is
for that happen for .two or
three days and you have
another tidal brood," he
said.
Wind and rain have kept
St. Lucie spray trucks off
the roads for weeks at a
time this year, Mr. Davis
said.
And, despite the
drought, there is definitely
a presence of mosquitoes,
especially around the
nuclear plant, as well as

ENOUGH...FOR SoMIE!


I, too, am outraged

As people know, communists, and communism have
destroyed families, and their loving ways of life by the tens
of millions. Countries have been ravaged worse than any
hurricanes can ravage a country.
Communists have also asserted that the United States
would one day be their victim.
Part of their blueprint for the demolition of any country
starts by disrupting family life, and turning family mem-
bers, and their neighbors, against each other.
This we can witness in the Mr. Brooks movie.
Communists also encourage radical revolutionary tac-
tics, such as outright killings.
The film, Mr. Brooks, which so outraged one of the
Rants and Raves writers, certainly appears to be part of
this communist blueprint.
Furthermore, the endless amount of decadent, brutal,
uncivilized movies and television programs, the use of tat-
toos, and the use of T-shirts that are being sold are proba-
bly all part of the communist attempt to end the days of
glory of the United States of America.
This will happen unless millions of Americans decide to
boycott the disgusting and violent tactics, and end forever
that system of take over and control.

Abstinence leads to peace, happiness

I'm for abstinence teaching.
I am a teacher in Brevard, and a mother, and a Christian.
I know of people with promiscuous pasts that have all
but done them in.
Please put in my heart-felt and experience-based vote
to continue to emphasize abstinence as a truly freeing
path that leads to peace, security and long-term happi-
ness.

Getting rid of all illegals could empty the U.S.

Regarding the illegal-immigration issue, I agree com-
pletely.
We don't need illegal immigrants here.
Let's deport anyone who arrived here without permis-
sion.
Their offspring shouldn't be here, either.
Why should we give special status to anyone, just
because of u her e they happen to be born?
This allows wrongdoers to profit from their illegal activi-
ties.
Let's see, that gets rid of anyone with English heritage,
since the Jamestown settlement was founded on land
stolen from the Powhatan/Algonquian Indians.
In fact, all those "original 13 colonies" had Native Amer-
ican inhabitants, and I don't recall that any of them sent
messages to the English kings saying, "Come on over."
Ditto for the Spaniards, the French, and so on.
Later on, the United. States government did make legal
treaties with the (Native Americans) farther west, allowing
settlers to occupy their former territories.
Wait a minute .
Weren't the great majority of those treaties broken by
the white settlers?
Oops!
More illegals.
Then, of course, we get whole chunks of present-day
America that were acquired through false pretenses.
The Mexican War?
Cooked up by the U.S., on the phony pretext that we
needed to defend the "independent republic of Texas."
How about "Fifty-four Forty or Fight?" There goes the
Pacific Northwest.
I guess we got Alaska fair and square from the Russians.
At least we paid for it.
Err, except for those Inuit (Eskimo) folks.
Forgot to pay them anything.
Want to talk about Florida?
Two words: Andrew Jackson.
And two more: Seminole War (actually, the Seminoles
took it from the Appalachee, the Timucuans, the Calusa....
hmmm, bad chain of title, for sure....).
So: Who's here legally?
Nobody from Europe, and none of their children, grand-
children, etc.
All you folks complaining about illegal immigrants
- look in the mirror.
Then buy yourself a one-way ticket back to England,
Germany, Poland, wherever.
I'm sure the true legal Americans will be glad to wave
bye-bye as you sail over the horizon.

Two words offered to Bush haters

To all the Bush haters, I got two words for ya: Third


term!

Plus-size people like trendy clothes, too

My rant is regarding is the lack of fashionable plus-sized
clothing in our retail stores.
All the desirable trendy clothes are in the petites -and
misses department. They have the nicest selection of
trendy clothes, and there are always plenty of these sizes
on the rack.
But when you are a size 14, 16 or 18, there are usually
none available to buy.
Stores should have their buyers.order more items in this
size range. Most American women are not a size 6 or 8.
This also applies to shoes. There are never enough size 9
(shoes) anywhere.
Why don't the stores notice this while they are doing
their inventory?
It is so frustrating.
If you happen to be a plus size, IX to 3X, the selection of
clothing is frumpy, out of style and made out of the cheap-
est polyester fabric.
And why are the armholes big enough for an elephant?
So retailers, wise up and make more of the stylish and
trendy clothing available to people of all sizes.

Getting canceled by Allstate
saves one man a bundle

I have been a loyal Allstate customer for (more than) 30
years, both up North and here in Florida.
I've carried both homeowners insurance and auto
insurance.
Recently I received a notice of non-renewal for my
homeowners policy.
They dropped me.
My Allstate agent offered me a similar Royal Palm home-
owners policy for an exorbitant amount.
It was twice what I had paid for an Allstate policy in
2006.
So I looked around to see what the market had to offer.
Success!
I was able to get quality home insurance from a major
carrier for 42 percent less than Royal Palm.
Since I saved so much on my new homeowners policy, I
looked into auto insurance alternatives.
The yearly cost of my Allstate auto policy was well over
$1,000 dollars.
I found a very good insurer for 24 percent less than All-
state.
So 2007 is not going to be a bleak financial year for me.
The $2,400 I'll save will be put to good use.
My advice to all dropped Allstate customers?
Get busy and visit a few insurance brokers.
You may save a bundle.

Say 'no' to Spanish, knives, abstinence groups

Local news in the paper gave me a host of rants.
No. 1, Spanish being taught to firemen, I'm sure on tax-
payer dollars. How about all the other languages? Or how
about everyone learn the language, mainly English?
No. 2, three-inch knives are OK in public schools.
Two-and-a-half can kill you quite easily.
That is just ridiculous.
(No. 3) Parents Against Abstinence Groups in School.
The district has to get real sex-ed.
Parents, you've got to face it, talk to your kids, they are
going to experiment and abstinence is not going to work.
And lastly, the woman bomber who was eight-months
pregnant (and) was arrested in the Middle East.


Who thinks we can bring peace to this part of the world?
People who believe so have to be either arrogant, stupid
or just plain naive, I'm not sure which.

Stop picking on the. president

This is in response to the "Bush administration not
keeping us safe."
Honestly, think about it: No matter who is in office,
nobody at all is happy.
Do you think you could do a better job? Then why don't
you (run for president)?
Bush was in office when Saddam Hussein was captured
and he is in the hunt for bin Laden, which is why a lot of
the troops are in Iraq, which I'm not happy about, but he is
doing his best to keep this country safe.
Why don't people get real and leave Bush alone and
(stop) picking on everyone in office?

Enough of the Bush knocking

People are knocking (President George W.) Bush and
blaming him for Sept. 11.
Give Bush some credit.
At least he is trying to protect the United States from Bin
Laden and other terrorist.
You people need to get real.
End this Bush knocking crap.

1 percent solution can cure all ills

Schools, taxes, illegal immigrants, mosquitoes and driv-
ers...how about a 1 percent increase in our sales tax (to
handle all of this)?
Everyone pays. The folks without kids in school are now
released from the debt.
The illegal immigrants must contribute with this
increase.
The drivers from different states still contribute to our
tax base, and we just need to watch closely on the road as
we are a tourist state. Practice driving defensively.
Mosquitoes are a part of the Florida heritage, and they
have infected folks for ages.
Our house has "No Buzz Zone" patches to help.
I am sure there are many other solutions on the Web to
help those folks having such a major infestation of those
hungry insects.
Personally, I.dread the rain as I know I will be scratching
for weeks.
However, I love the look of my green, green grass.

Vote for most 'accomplished' candidate

With the presidential election season upon us, perhaps
we voters should consider something different. How
about expecting more from those wanting our nation's
highest office?
How about expecting a strong record based on solid
results?
Many politicians can easily say what they may do. Fewer
can say what they have already accomplished.
A number of the candidates from each party have solid
results that speak loudly to future success.
. Unfortunately, a number also rely on words only. It is
easy and disappointing to fall for their highly publicized
chatter.
Do we really want those (who) are both for and against
the same issue?
Do we want leaders (who) vote for legislation and then
harshly criticize it?

Dear Friends,
From the begin-
ning, the tax
reform process has been
driven by Floridians like
you. The people of our
state asked for relief,
and they provided vital
input that helped us
shape the reforms we
passed in the recently
completed special
session.
The Florida Legislature
promised to provide
immediate relief and
protection for the future,
and we delivered on that
promise with this his-
toric legislation that is
the largest tax cut in
Florida's history.
There are two parts to
this reform, a statutory
component and a con-
stitutional component.
The statutory change is
effective immediately
and accomplishes two
milestones: tax cuts now
and a revenue cap
forever.
The legislation
requires that all cities
and counties cut proper-
ty taxes in the upcoming
2007-2008 fiscal year
back to the 2006-2007
revenue levels, with
additional 3-9 percent
cuts.
The bill caps local
government spending so
that government will not
grow faster than a
family's ability to pay.
This bill recognizes the
needs of firefighters and
environmentally sensi-
tive lands. It requires
more modest cuts to
special districts and
fiscally challenged cities
and counties protect-
ing essential services
from dramatic revenue
cuts.
This legislation
respects local control.
All local governments
have the option to
override the rollbacks
and caps on revenue (by
extraordinary votes).


KEN PRUITT
President, Florida Senate
On January 29, 2008,
Florida voters can
authorize a new "super
exemption" to every
homesteader in our
state, regardless of how
long they've owned their
home.
Going forward, those
who choose the "super
exemption" will benefit
from the cap on local
government spending.
We believe the cap will
allow an annual growth
rate of 3 to 5 percent per
year.
This amendment is
predicted to provide an
average of $1300 in relief
per homestead property
owner in 2008 and 2009
- a 44% reduction in
property taxes. In real
terms, for many Floridi-
ans, that would amount
to one mortgage pay-
ment a year, or allow a
Floridian to fully fund a
pre-paid college scholar-
ship.
The constitutional
amendment provides for
a substantial increase in
the homestead exemp-
tion. Homeowners will
receive between $50,000
and $195,0010 with the
super exemption
(depending on the value
of their home), as
compared to the flat
$25,000 exemption in
Save Our Homes.
Going forward, these
property owners will be
protected under the
local government spend-


-LIPI. ri


ing caps.
This innovative plan
offers tax savings porta-
bility without violating
the U.S. Constitution.
The Constitutional
amendment preserves
all existing constitution-
al property exemptions
(veterans, low-income
seniors, etc.)
Florida businesses will
benefit from the consti-
tutional amendment
with a $25,000 exemp-
tion from ad valorem
taxes on tangible per-
sonal property (TPP).
Of the 1.3 million
businesses expected to
file this year, 1 million
will receive a total
exemption. Further-
more, they will never
have to file the burden-
some paperwork associ-
ated with the tax again.
The plan offers a
reduced tax assessment
on properties used to
provide affordable
housing.
In addition, the consti-
tutional amendment
authorizes the legisla-
ture to provide a tax
reduction to working
waterfront assessments.
Finally, the plan allows
each homestead proper-
ty owner to choose
between the new super
exemption or the cur-
rent "Save Our Homes"
plan.
Though some have
said the tax cut will
translate into a cut in
education, the claim is
simply not true.
Education funding is
protected by the state
constitution
Each year, rain or
shine, the Republican-
led legislature has
increased funding.
We can have tax cuts
and a quality education
for our children.
Floridians told us
they wanted tax relief
that was immediate, fair,

the largest tax cut in the
history of Florida.
In this two-part
approach to tax reform,
all cities and counties are
immediately required, at
a minimum, to cut taxes
in the 2007-2008 fiscal
year, which begins Octo-
ber 1, by rolling them
back to the 2006-2007
revenue levels that are
currently in effect.
Each local government
must then make an addi-
tional rollback of 3, 5, 7 or
9 percent. This additional
percentage is determined
by a formula based on.
each local government's
property tax increases
over the past five years,
which is then measured
against a statewide aver-
age.
Martin County is
required to roll back to
the 2006-2007 budget,
plus an additional 7 per-
cent. The sole exception
to this is Martin County
Fire-Rescue, which is
part of a special taxing
district and as such, will
have an additional 3 per-
cent rollback on top of
the drop to the 2006-2007
revenue levels.
According to a letter
signed by Senate Presi-
dent Ken Pruitt (R-Port
St. Lucie) and House
Speaker Marco Rubio (R-
Miami) on June 8 and
addressed to the Florida's
Legislature, if the consti-
tutional amendment is
passed in January, the
"Save our Homes" pro-
gram will be replaced
with a "super exemption,
and "An estimated 73
percent of homesteaded
properties will receive a
greater benefit under this
new exemption.'
Mr. DiTerlizzi said the
commissioners are cur-
rently meeting with all
constitutional officers,
such as judges and the
sheriff, as well as individ-
ual county departments.
"We are meeting to
decide where we are
going to go and if we will
share in cuts and be
methodical in sharing


them," said Mr. DiTerl-
izzi.
What will the tax
reform mean to the resi-
dents of Martin County
when it comes to services
they've come to expect?
Hometown News posed
that question to several
agencies:

Martin County
Sheriff's Office

Martin County Sheriff
Robert L. Crowder said he
presented a budget
request for next year to
county commissioners
that he felt was "pretty
lean," with an increase
over the current year of
just 4.8 percent. Howev-
er, the county wanted to
see a decrease in the
budget because of the tax
reform legislation,
"The only way I could
bring it in less than that
would be to lay people
off," said Sheriff Crowder,
explaining that 89.9 per-
cent of his budget goes to
personnel costs, includ-
ing the cost of retirement
and worker compensa-
tion benefits.
"This means the county
will either lock horns
with me on the budget, or
we will have an impasse,
which would mean me
having to appeal the
budget to the state. But I
don't want to do that,
because we have a good
track record with the
commissioners, and I
want to maintain that,"
he said.
Sheriff Crowder said in
the budget he submitted,
no personnel with a rank
of lieutenant or above
will receive a salary
increase, no new person-
nel will be hired and no
new programs intro-
duced.
"Also, we will not back-
fill vacant positions when
people leave, and when
people retire, we are not
filling those positions.
And there is no replace-
ment equipment in the
budget," said Sheriff
Crowder.
However, the budget
does include a 5 percent
cost of living increase

Martin County F
Fire-Rescue

Martin County Fire-
Rescue is subject to a 3
percent cut rather than 7
percent, on top of the
rollback to the 2006-2007
budget.
Thomas Billington,
chief of Martin County-
Fire Rescue, said "There
are many interpretations
around the state as to
what that means. Our
understanding is that it is
a rollback plus 3 percent,
which is about a 13 per-
cent cut (from the pro-
posed 2007-2008 budg-
et), but that is still
substantial."
Chief Billington said he
is working with county
administration personnel
to prepare a budget that
will be presented to
county commissioners
on July 6.
"The most important
thing is that we are work-
ing hard to identify what
will have the least
impact," said Chief
Billington.
"We are trying to iden-
tify non-emergency serv-
ices like public educa-
tion, then equipment,
such as looking at what
will last longer if it gets
more maintenance. Fire
stations and personnel
would be last on the list
to consider, nor would
we recommend ig," he
said.
Chief Billington is also
concerned about the
impact on services
should the voters
approve the constitution-
al amendment in Janu-
ary.
"What we are reviewing
now is just part one. The

Department
Like the Martin County
Sheriff's Office, the
biggest expense for the
Stuart Police Depart-
ment's budget is person-
nel costs.
"Eighty-six percent of
all our operation costs are
salaries, with only 14 per-
cent in expenditures,"
said Sgt. Marty Jacobsen,
spokesman for the Stuart
Police Department.
Sgt. Jacobsen said the
police department is cur-
rently reviewing multiple
budget plans.
"A lot of things are in the
making, such as tentative
assignment changes and
cut-backs in services. We
have multiple action
plans addressing the
'what-ifs,'" he said.

Martin County
School District
The immediate statuto-
ry tax reform will not
reduce school taxes.
"We have been told by
the legislature that we
will be held harmless,
and we assume we will
not be affected in any
way at this point," said
Darla Miloszewski, exec-
utive director of finance
for the Martin County
School District.
Ms. Miloszewski said
the school district is
bound by the Truth-in-
Millage Act, also known
as TRIM. According to the

"TRIM establishes the
statutory requirements
that all taxing authorities
levying a millage must
follow, including all
notices and budget hear-
ing requirements."
Ms. Miloszewski said
this means hearings
would have to be held
this summer if any budg-
et changes were expected
that would affect the start
of the 2007-2008 school
year.
However, it is Ms.
Miloszewski's under-
standing that if the con-
stitutional amendment
passes in January, it will
have an impact on the
school district's budget.
"We will have to face
that when we get there,"
she said.

Martin County
Animal Control
Martin County current-
ly has a contract with the
Humane Society of the
Treasure Coast that
allows animals picked up
by the Martin County
Sheriff's Office Animal
Control Unit to be
brought to the Humane
Society.
"Last year, over 57 per-
cent of the animals that
came to our shelter came
from Animal Control,"
said Frank Valente, exec-
utive director of the
Humane Society.
"However, what they
give us doesn't make up
for 57 percent of our
budget. The county cur-


ailVT7HIITh eI


YACHT & BOAT CLUB
Since 1989


rently gives us about 20
percent of our budget,
and we have to raise
money to make up the
difference," he said.
As a result, any further
decrease in the county's
contribution for animal
control services could
have a drastic effect. Mr.
Valente said Humane
Society officials will meet
with Martin County com-
missioners next week to
learn how much the tax
reform legislation will
affect them.
"We have been told to
anticipate anywhere from
a 5 to 30 percent cut,"
said Mr. Valente.
Mr. Valente said the
Humane Society would
then have to review pos-
sible reduction in servic-
es to the county for ani-
mal control, but he is
hoping it won't go that
way.
"We provide a vital
service to Martin County
and to the animals
entrusted to our care," he
said.
When the Animal Con-
trol Unit brings animals
to the Humane Society,
they stay there until the
owner is found, or they
go up for adoption if pos-
sible.
"We want to find all
adoptable animals a
home. We are not looking
to destroy animals. But
any cut in contract price
will force us to review our
policies and procedures,"
said Mr. Valente.

Treasure Coast becomes home

to regional medical campus


BY MATT DONEGAN
Staff writer
Third- and fourth-year
Florida State University
College of Medicine stu-
dents arrived in town this
month to continue their
education in FSU's new
regional medical., program
on the Indian River Com-
munity College campus.
The eight students, who
spent the first two years of
their clinical education in
both classrooms and
physician practices in the
Tallahassee area, will now
be learning from more
than 150 Treasure Coast
area doctors who are being
selected to teach.
"We're taking that third
and fourth year and mov-
ing it to this community
and moving it into these
hospitals where these stu-
dents have the opportuni-
ty to interface with the
medical community," said
FSU president T.K.
Wetherell.
Instead of building a
new facility for its latest
regional location, FSU
partnered with IRCC and
will fund the program
there.
"We believe in invest-
ment in communities and
students rather than facili-
ties," Mr. Wetherell said.
"That's what's important to
us, churning out doctors
for this state and commu-
nity."


Students will learn on
campus, as well as in local
hospitals, thanks to FSU's
partnership with Indian
River and St.. Lucie med-
ical centers, Lawnwood
Regional Medical Center &
Heart Institute and Martin
Memorial Health Systems.
"I think the medical stu-
dents will benefit from the
real-world experience of
seeing how medicine is
practiced in the communi-
ty setting," said Dr. Jeff Liv-
ingston, president of the
Indian River County Med-
ical Society. "I have no
doubt local physicians and
patients will also benefit
by participating in the
process."
Erica Lindsay, a Miami
native, is now starting her
third year in the College of
Medicine. Her first two
years were spent learning a
"grueling" amount of med-
ical science. She said she is
excited to be able to see
how that science is
applied.
"I can not wait to experi-
ence what it's like to prac-
tice medicine on a daily
basis," she said.
Eventually, the Fort
Pierce College of Medicine
branch will be home to 20
third-year and 20 fourth-
year medical students.
When that expansion
occurs, Dr. Randall Berto-
lette, the dean of the new
regional campus and Vero
Beach pediatrician since


1979, said he expects to
have 200 local physicians
on the faculty.
"There has never been a
medical school presence
in this area and there's an
underlying excitement on
that basis because a lot of
these physicians do want
to teach and this will give
them a chance they
thought they wouldn't get,
he said.
FSU's College of Medi-
cine was established in
2000 with a focus on inter-
nal, family and emergency
medicine, pediatrics, geri-
atrics, obstetrics and psy-
chiatry. There are six
regional campuses for
third- and fourth-year stu-
dents, with facilities in,
both Fort Pierce and Day-
tona Beach being estab-
lished this year. The other
regional campuses are in
Pensacola, Tallahassee,
Orlando and Sarasota.
After four years in the Col-
lege of Medicine, students
must complete three to
five years of required resi-
dency training.

From page A4


near Indian River County
line by Indrio Road, Mr.
David said. In that north-
ern part of the county,
178,000 salt marsh mos-
quitoes were caught in
one trap in a single week
earlier this month.
."That's an impossibly
high number," Mr. David
said.


Usually the traps catch
25 to 80 mosquitoes a
night. If there area any
more than 25 caught in
one night, the area around
the trap is sprayed for the
pests. The salt marsh mos-
quito can migrate up, to 20
miles in one night.

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Comercia Bank donated
$3,500 to the Education
Foundation of Martin
County, to become the first
contributors to help meet
a challenge set by the
Florida Legislature.
If, by August 1, $40,000 is
raised for literacy instruc-
tion and/or resources, for
low performing students,
the Education Foundation
of Martin County will
receive dollar for dollar
matching funds from the


Florida Legislature.
This challenge provides
the foundation the oppor-
tunity to strengthen pri-
vate and public partner-
ships by offering private
donors an incentive of
state matching funds.
"It's a win-win. Donors
will see their donations
double, and our students
and teachers will receive
much needed classroom
enrichment resources,"
foundation president, Bill
West said.
"Last year, the founda-
tion was able to award 71


of the 131 classroom
enrichment grant requests
submitted, and this year
we're looking to do even
more," he said.
"At Comerica,, we're
committed to making a
tangible difference in our
community and by part-
nering with the Education
Foundation we can do just
that. There's no better
investment than ensuring
our children have an edu-
cation of the highest quali-
ty," said local vice presi-
dent, Bill Dwyer.
To make a donation,


make checks payable to
the Education Foundation
of Martin County, P.O. Box

*Donations are also being
accepted online by visiting

zation and your donation

7-Eleven to franchise stores in Martin County


SFOR HOMETOWN NEWS
7-Eleven Inc. announced
that, for the first time, it
plans to convert approxi-
mately 100 company-oper-
ated 7-Eleven stores in
South Florida into fran-
chised operations.
This will offer new busi-
ness opportunities to
Floridians and other U.S.
residents.
The change affects 7-
Eleven stores in the Indian
River, St. Lucie and Martin
counties.
"We are offering the
opportunity for people in
the community to run their
own business using a
proven, successful system
along with the support of
the world's largest conven-
ience retailer," said Ivy
Nunez, 7-Eleven's franchise
sales manager for South
Florida.


Existing 7-Eleven store
managers were the first to
be invited to apply for a 7-
Eleven franchise, and now
the franchise opportunity is
open to the public.
Two South Florida
women are the first Florida'
store managers to become
franchise owners under the
new plan:
Evelyn Lortie in Port St.
Lucie and Afsana Lina Baig
in Fort Lauderdale each
have gone through 7-
Eleven's selection and train-
ing program for new fran-
chisees.
"I should be looking to
retire, but instead I'm mak-
ing a new start," said Ms.
Lortie, who is 58.
For the past two years,
Ms. Lortie has managed the
Port St. Lucie 7-Eleven store
on Walton Road that has
now become her franchise.
She likes the location, cus-


tomers and that they call
her huge coffee bar "The
Enterprise," a joking refer-
ence to the "Star Trek"
spaceship.
"It's very exciting and
never boring," said Ms. Lor-
tie, who moved to Florida
from New Hampshire in
2000.
"I love getting to know my
customers and getting to
know the neighborhood.
We have a family-type set-
ting," she said.
7-Eleven Inc. provides the
land, building, equipment
and a turnkey operation for
its franchisees.,
The average up-front,
total investment for a 7-
Eleven franchise in Florida
is about $180,000, based on
the store's sales history,
which includes the store's
opening inventory, sup-
plies, business licenses,
permits, bonds, cash regis-

vice-connected disability
claims, whether combat
or non-combat claims
are covered. So if a sol-
dier got shrapnel in the
knee or gets an injury,
contracts a disease or
becomes ill while on
active duty, they are due
medical benefits."
Mr. Haddox 'stressed
that Florida is prepared
for handling the influx of
returning veterans when
that time arrives.
"We're the first state
with the initiative, in
conjunction with the
Department of Defense
and the Florida Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs,
to set up a system to
track combat-injured
military personnel for
the rest of their life," said
Mr. Haddox. "Former
Governor Jeb Bush
enacted this policy and
other states are following
that lead."
The VA and the Depart-
ment of Defense have
created a Seamless Tran-
sition Task Force, to help
soldiers readjust. It is
part of the Veterans
Health Administration.
It will help deal with
the most drastic health
issues confronting
returning soldiers
including post traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD),
amputations and trau-
matic brain injuries.
"Sometimes a return-
ing soldier will come to
my office with a friend or
spouse, but most often
they come here alone,"
Mr. Haddox said.
Among the other serv-
ices provided are educa-


"Sometimes a returning soldier will come to
my office with a friend or spouse, but most
often they come here alone.'

ing, home visits to dis-
abled home-bound vet-
erans and widows,
vocational rehabilitation
claims, VA loan guaran-
tee applications, VA
insurance assistance and
procuring burial bene-
fits. ,
Unless a soldier has a
job upon return, the first
order of business is find-
ing a job. The Florida
Agency for Workforce
Innovation Veteran's
Workforce Program is in
all of Florida's One Stop
Career Centers.
The One-Stop centers
have a veterans' repre-
sentative who works
exclusively with military
veterans and certain
spouses of veterans.
Another helping hand
for returning veterans is
sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Labor,
Veterans Employment
and Training Service
(VETS), provides "priori-
ty" services to veterans
throughout the state.
They can get job refer-
rals, labor market infor-
mation and assistance
with resumes. The staff
serves as veterans' advo-
cates and act as a go-
between with employers.
The Disabled Veterans'
Outreach Program
(DVOP) has specialists
that help clients over-
come barriers to employ-
ment. Eligible veterans
can apply for on-the-job
training, work certified
training (a three-week
course) and workshops.
Larry Sowers is the
Regional Veterans' Pro-
gram Coordinator for the


Florida Agency for Work-
force Innovation (AWI).
He deals with procuring
jobs for Veteran's daily for
the Veteran,s Workforce
Program at the One Stop
Career Centers. He and
his staff aid veterans
from Martin, St. Lucie,
Indian River, and Okee-
chobee counties.
Mr. Sowers said,
"before the latest deploy-
ment of troops occurred,
we were expecting 20,000
troops to return to the
Treasure Coast area.
Right now we are getting
only a few returning vets
and we've had some great
success stories. I had a
young man who just got
discharged from the
Navy in April who had an
associate of business
degree. He was a
plumber and I got him a
placement on his first
day back at $16 an hour. .
"Another Navy vet who
was stationed onboard a
nuclear vessel, was hired
by Jan Bardin, the FPL
Human Resources Direc-
tor of Talent, at a salary
of $80,000 per year. She
put our veteran ahead of
300 other applicants.
There is a web site,

ers who want to hire vet-
erans," he added/

Use eight great gifts of spirit


to find path to a happy life


There are eight great
gifts of spirit given
at birth.
Which one is most
important? The gift of
love, of course.
Gratitude for uncondi-
tional love from the
supreme power of cre-
ation by whatever
name you call it that
created the miracle of life
on earth should be our
No. 1 cause.
Morning devotions,
meditation and thanks-
giving for life is more
important than breakfast.
The spirit must be fed,
like the mind, heart and
body, or it will get hungry.
There is a secret to
getting in touch with our
deeper nature. It is to
open the heart.
The emotional heart
center is the window of
the soul.
Every human child at
birth has the eight spiri-
tual blessings living in the
deep inner vault yearning.
to be set free and bring
freedom, divine purpose
and fulfillment to life.
Finding deeper mean-
ing and purpose has little
to do with privilege,
wealth, prestige, educa-
tion or experience. It has
everything to do with
making wise choices and
committing to wanting a
happy life based on
respect, honor and
human dignity.
Here is how it works.
First, there must be
surrender of the ego and
will to the higher will.
This allows the higher
power and light to work
for us and flow through
us. Faith and trust in this
power is the foundation
of a spiritual based life,
no matter what philoso-
phy or personal belief
system is being used. This
is what opens up the
window of the heart and
allows love to flow up
from the deep well of
spirit.
With this channel open
and flowing the eight
great blessings begin to
make themselves known.
Just remember that love
in the heart is the key that
lets the light flow from
the soul and spirit.
The light is the dreams,
visions, fantasies, truth
and inspirations that
yearn to be set free and
brought into physical
manifestation.
From this light and love
springs peace.
How can we be at war
with anyone else if we are
at peace within our-
selves? It isn't possible,
unless we are pushed into
it by others at war within
themselves.
Next comes health.
A life filled with light,
love and peace is like a
fertile, healthy garden.
These are the founda-
tion stones for positive
growth.
Next comes abundance.
The universe is all
about abundance. It
wants us to have plenty of
everything we want or


JAMES TUCKI
The Spirit Guid


ER
le


need. Lack comes from
fear, doubt or lack of faith
in this principle.
Wake up each morning
feeling abundant and
more is added to that.
From abundance
springs faith in the higher
power.
Fear is the lack of faith.
When we let it take over
our mind, we freeze and
become polluted. Block a
stream from flowing and
it will become toxic and
the fish will die.
Faith is the foundation
for creativity. We now
believe that we are
worthy interpreters of the
light.
When we feel whole
and have nothing to heal,
we create.
Now it comes down to
the choices we make and
what we feed.
Create new causes in
life. Find your mission
and purpose and stay
focused on it.
The end result has to be
joy, which is the eighth
spiritual gift. We are
supposed to be happy.
So now you have the
eight great gifts: light,
love, peace; health,
abundance, faith, creativ-
ity and joy.
Isn't this the way you
truly want to live?


All of these things are
living in your heart and
spirit right now yearning
to be set free. It should be
the supreme cause and
mission of every soul on
earth to find them and
live them today and for
all our future days to
come.
You can do it. It is
possible. When you find
them others will want to
know how you do such
great things with your
life.
Take care of yourself
and family first. Then
give back. Your life is now
justified. The sweetest
news is the best is yet to
come.

S PecoiaI


This week we will
celebrate America's
special holiday.
I remember a Fourth
we celebrated in the
early '70s when we lived
in Connecticut. Men
were wearing flowered
shirts and flowered
pants; very Hawaiian. We
were invited to a family
celebration.
I decided we all needed
something special to
wear.
After everyone agreed
to flowered pants, I got
busy sewing endlessly.
We arrived at the party
the six of us, wearing
royal blue pants adorned
with large white tropical
flowers, white T-shirts
and puca shell necklaces.
Everyone flipped when
they saw us. I remember
my dad saying, "This
guy's gotta love you to
wear pants like that."
Those outfits were
nothing but fun.
On the way home from
the party we stopped at a
trailer-style diner.
My husband, Bill,
dropped me off along
with my daughter,
Kimberly, 10, and my
sons, Guy and Steve, 5
and 3.
When we entered the
restaurant, I noticed a
young man facing the
door talking to and trying
to impress two young
girls sitting opposite
him.
He glanced up and
then did a double take,
but when my husband
and my son, Billy, 12,
entered wearing the
same outfits it really blew
his pitch.
"I can't stand this,
you've gotta turn around
and look," he yelled.
The older kids pretend-
ed embarrassment, but
when I suggested we
wear our "outfits" to the
mall, no one objected.
J We would walk hand-


I

F41/


in- hand-in-hand,
spanning the walkway
almost, skipping and
swinging our arms as
heads would turn and
people would laugh, and
each kid felt so very
special.
Try something just for
fun. It will lift your spirits
and the spirits of every-
one else around you.
Now comes the ques-
tion: What's for dinner?
Along with the ordinary
fare, how about pulled
pork.
Pulled pork is South-
ern-style barbecued
pork, super for a crowd
and leftovers freeze
great.
The original recipe
called for a pork shoul-
der. I tried it and it was
wonderful.
Unfortunately, some
fat is necessary for good,
pulled pork.
I added some extra
ingredients to make the
best pulled pork you'll
ever taste. Top it off with
a flag cake.
Have a special Fourth!
See you next week.

PULLED PORK
Serves 6-8

2-1/2 pounds boneless
pork shoulder
4 tablespoons brown
sugar I
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Barbecue sauce

Trim all fat from meat.
Sprinkle with salt, pep-
per and garlic powder.
Press on sugar. Wrap
meat tightly in foil.
Place in roasting pan
and roast at 350-degrees
F. for two and a half to
three hours. Let meat
cool slightly.
Using two forks, pull
meat apart (shred)
Pour juices into a
small saucepan and de-


fat by tossing in several
ice cubes. Let sit until fat
congeals and clings to
cubes. Remove with
slotted spoon.
Add juices to meat.
Serve on rolls or
hamburger buns topped
with a good barbecue
sauce.

FAT-AND
CHOLESTEROL-FREE
CAKES
The following substitu-
tions will give you a
delicious fat- and choles-
terol-free cake from a cake
mix.
1. Use applesauce in
place of the oil.
2. Use egg substitute or
egg whites in place of
whole egg. Note: 1/3 cup
of egg substitute or egg
white will equal 1 large
egg.
3. Add 1 tablespoon-
flour.
Mix and bake according
to package directions. Use
cooking spray to grease
the cake pans.

FLAG CAKE

1 package yellow or
white cake mix
Cream filling (recipe
follows)
4 cups whipped topping,
regular, low-fat or fat-
free

When a car dealer crosses the line II


This is a follow-up on my
last column, which
exposed a direct mail scam.
by a local car dealer.

A after the general
manager of this
J ealership mailed
this letter out a short time
ago, some recipients sent
me copies. They either
recognized that it was
phony or they wanted my
opinion.
I did some research
which proved that the
claims this general man-
ager was making were
false and discussed this in
my last column.
After I wrote my last
column, a customer sent
me another letter he had
received from a different
general manager of a
different car dealership,
which was exactly the
same letter as that the first
dealership mailed out.
For clarification, I will
repeat the text of both,
identical letters below:

very timely and important
information about your
vehicle. As general man-
ager of (name of dealer-
ship), I am making a
personal appeal to pur-
chase your vehicle.
Because of a unique
wholesale market condi-
tion, I have allocated
additional funds and I am
now in the position of
being able to offer you
over book value for your
vehicle whether you
trade it in or I purchase it
outright. My dilemma
simply means that right
now your vehicle is worth.
more than it was last
month. Here's why:
Normally, we purchase
more than 200 pre-owvned
vehicles per month at
nationally recognized
automotive auctions.
Unfortunately, flood
damaged Katrina vehicles
(see enclosed article) are
currently showing up at
these auctions. I simply
will not allow my auction
buyers to risk our reputa-
tion by inadvertently
purchasing one of these
units and reselling it to
one of our customers.
Therefore, I have put a
moratorium on any
auction purchases until I
am confident flood
damaged vehicles are
properly disclosed to our
wholesale buyers.
This is a straight-
forward, genuine appeal
to purchase your vehicle. I
need local vehicles with
local histories; vehicles
with a pedigree, so to
speak. As always, (name of
dealership) will pay off
your trade balance as part
of any final retail transac-
tion. My purchase offer is
in addition to all (name of
make of car) incentives,
should you decide to
maximize your market
timing.

(date) to extend thee
purchase offers. Call me at
(dealership number_ to
receive a no obligation,
written trade or purchase
estimate.

Sincerely,"

(signature of general
manager

As I said, this exact letter
was mailed out by two
dealerships within 10
miles of each other. One
was a Ford dealership and
the other a Toyota dealer-
ship. One is owned by a
public corporation and
one is owned by a local
person. There is no
affiliation between the
two.
Obviously, this direct
mail scam is sold to car
dealers by some
unscrupulous marketing
company.
Neither of these dealer-
ships sells even close to
200 used cars a month
and there would be no
reason in the world for
them to purchase "more
than 200 pre-owned
vehicles per month at
nationally recognized
automotive auctions."
There are probably lots
of other dealerships
sending out this same
letter. If you receive the
letter above, throw it in


the trash. It is absolutely
and shamelessly false.
Letters of this nature are
peddled to dealers with
promises of how many
"suckers" they will bring
into the showrooms.
Oftentimes they have a
guarantee of a certain
minimum percentage.
Three percent would be a
very effective mailer.
The direct mail market-
ing company would
guarantee that if the
10,000 mailers didn't bring
in at least 300 potential
victims, they would run
another promotion free.
Dealers usually count on
selling about one out of
every five prospects,
which means this mailer
could result in about 60
sales resulting from this
lie.
You may ask how car
dealers get away with
something like this. The
answer is that direct mail
usually falls beneath the
"radar" of the regulators.
When you consider all
the deceptive advertising
out there, regulators have
a hard enough time
keeping the TV, radio and
newspaper advertising
clean, advertising that is
very visible to all. Only the
unfortunate addressees
usually see the direct mail
advertising.
My advice to you is to
ignore all direct mail
advertising unless you
have personal knowledge
of the integrity of the
company.

How to handle your medication when traveling


A s the summer travel
season nears, it's a
ood idea to take
stock of your medications,
making sure you have
enough and that you know
the regulations for carrying
medications on airplanes
and into other countries.
A sheet put out byAARP
and available at Walgreens
has some tips, as well as a
personal medication
record. I don't know for
how long they'll carry it, so
I'll make it easy and give
you the highlights.
Carry a record of your
medications and personal
health history.
Take one copy with you
and leave one with your
emergency contact person.
You might also leave one
permanently near your
phone, in case you become
ill at home.
The record should
include the following.
All medical conditions
and history.
*An emergency contact
number.
The name and phone


numbers of your primary
care physician, specialists
and pharmacy.
Any allergies to foods
and drugs.
The names of each drug
you take, both brand
names and generic names,
if applicable. Do the same
for any dietary supple-
ments, vitamins or over-
the-counter drugs.
The reason you take the
drug.
The form you take it in
(pill, patch, liquid, injec-
tion).
The dose.
How often you take it
and when.
If it's for regular use'or
only taken as needed.
*Any special instructions.
If you are traveling, make
sure you have several
weeks' worth of medica-
tion in case your return is
delayed.
Many insurance compa-
nies will allow you to fill a
90-day supply.
Carry prescriptions for
everything, in case you
have to fill them again.


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well


injectable medications, as
well as other substances at
the TSAWeb site at
www.tsa.gov.
Never put your medica-
tions in your checked
baggage.
If your suitcase is lost,
your vacation may well be
ruined.
Again, always have a
recent duplicate prescrip-
tion with you, so that if
your medication is lost or
ruined in transit, you have
a way of showing a phvsi-


This will also help if you
are carrying any narcotics
that are controlled sub-
stances.
If you are flying or going
to another country, includ-
ing Canada, Mexico and
the Caribbean, carry all
medications in their
original containers.
This will help you avoid
delays at customs or with
Transportation Security
Administration personnel
at the airport.
Check regulations for
carrying liquid and


cian or pharmacist at your
destination what medica-
tions you take. .
They cannot take your
word for it that you take a
specific medication.
All of this information is
also useful if a hurricane or
other disaster occurs and
you have to leave your
home.
It is much easier to take
care of these things before
something happens.
Be prepared and you'll


have a better vacation
and one less thing to
worry about during a
crisis.

From page A6


We should all be cau-
tious of words that only
speak to positioning,
grand plans, and short-
term political gain.
Our great country has
accomplished so much.
We live in the best
country in the world
because we get results.
Here's a challenge: Vote
for leaders who have
accomplished specific
results.

Mandate advertising
voting records

I am sure there are
quite a few people out
there, myself included,
that by the time the pres-
idential election comes
around are very sick of all
the campaign ads.
It would make it a lot
easier for the voting pub-
lic if it was mandated that
every presidential candi-
date have published a
record on how he or she
has voted on every bill in
the past five years.
Then, it's not what the
candidates say they are
going to do. The public
could actually see what
they have voted yea, nay
or (if they) weren't there
to vote at all.


Those three things will
tell you a lot about your
representative or senator.
Editor's note: There are
Web sites available for
those who can't wait for a
law mandating that can-
didates advertise their
voting records.

A DAZZLING ARRAY
OF ELECTRONICS
Today's new car buyers are look-
ing beyond horsepower and all-
wheel-drive when they evaluate
potential purchases. These days,
an interest in all things electronic
compels buyers to look for iPod
connectivity, TV screens, and heat-
ed cup holders. These dashboard
electronics, known as "telemat-
ics," were once only found in high-
priced vehicles. However, as the
automotive industry increasingly
caters to the desires of younger
drivers, and mass production low-
ers prices, cutting-edge telematics
such as Bluetooth wireless for
hands-free cell phone calls, rear-
facing cameras, and voice-activat-
ed navigation systems are'showing
up more and more on lower priced
models. Consumers can now avail
themselves of a wide range of
affordable digital-era creature
comforts that go far beyond power
seats.
The optional electronic equip-
ment, and even standard equip-
ment, offered by today's car mak-
ers is really impressive. Today's
column on electronics is brought
to you by the caring staff at
ADVANTAGE FORD OF STUART.
We hope that you find our columns
informative and helpful. If you need
anything regarding vehicles please
think of us. We are located at 4000 -
S.E. Federal Highway, and our
phone number is 772.781.6540.
We have Saturday appointments
from 7:30-3:30 as well as Monday
to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
HINT: Telematics experts estimate
that iPod integration will be avail-
able on 47% of 2007 models and
voice recognition controls will rise
to 59%.

we passed during this
Special Session meets


each of those expecta-
tions.
It is immediate -
taxpayers will begin
receiving relief with
their very next property
tax bill.
It is fair it does away


with the gaping
inequities that have
arisen and provides
relief to every property
taxpayer in the state.
It is responsible it
respects local control
but requires govern-


ments to live within
their means.
And it is predictable -
no longer will Floridians
need to worry about
erratic spikes in proper-
ty taxes.
You delivered a


message, and we heard
that message loud and
clear. Thanks to your
participation in the
process and the hard
work of Governor Crist

ture taxpayers will


finally receive the relief
they deserve.

Disney's 'Mulan' will come


to life at the Lyric Theatre


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Mulan is a young Chi-
nese girl who doesn't
quite fit in. When her
homeland is invaded,
she pretends to be a boy
and joins the .army to
take her father's place.
In the hands of Disney,
this ancient Chinese tale
becomes the musical
story of a brave heroine
who finds her place in
the world. The stage ver-
sion of the Disney movie
can be seen on July 6-8,
when Shiloh Produc-
tions SummerStage
camp brings it to life at
the Lyric Theatre.
Bryan Phoebus, the
camp director, says a
number of factors .go
into the choice of a sum-
mer show.
"We try to find shows
that the kids like and can
relate to," he says. "It
always helps being Dis-
ney because everybody
knows them. We try to
keep it family-friendly
and with a good moral
message."
The campers, who
range in age from 5 to 15,
have four weeks to pre-
pare for the show before
moving to the Lyric for
final rehearsals.
"We start going over
the music and lines on


day one," Mr. Phoebus
says. "Then we have
auditions and begin the
stage blocking, working
on lines, learning the
music and the dances.
Four weeks goes by pret-
ty quickly. We try to
incorporate every aspect
of the theater and not
just the acting perspec-
tive, including costum-
ing, lighting and the
technical side. What's
unique about our camp
is that the entire registra-
tion fee goes back into
the show, so you get a lot
of production value,
including a full set, cos-
tumes, and a fully pro-
duced show.
"All of our adult staff
have degrees in the arts;
the show's director, Patty
Zalnofski-McGeown. is
the theater director at
John Carroll High
School; the choreogra-
pher, Beth McKenzie-
Shestak has a degree in
dance; the music direc-
tor, Carrie Phipps-Banfi
has a degree in vocal
performance; and I have
a degree in vocal per-
formance."
The camp has 60
campers in separate
morning and afternoon
sessions and mounts two
different casts. The

one needs one. It is the gift of compassion. Your
circle continues to increase. Mars in Taurus this
week gives you an edge and protection to stand
boldly for what you believe to be true. Positive
results are sure to follow.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Dare to dream and then be bold enough to live
your dream. You have a strong mind, an open
heart and a strong imagination. The main ingredi-
ent is action. Trust your vision. It is your greatest
source of truth. Turn your challenges into step-
ping-stones, and march to victory in all you do.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Your great motivation is fueled by your own warm,
caring nature. When you set it in motion, you are
capable of performing great miracles. You have
great determination. You always want to see your
family and large circle of friends happy. The uni-
verse then gives it all back to you multiplied.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Venus in Leo this week gives you an edge in the


heart department. This is strong motivation and
medicine. Do an act of kindness each day and
keep the fire burning. Being open to and 'using
this powerful inner guidance brings great blessing
into your life. Be thankful each day and more is on
the way.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept.22
Working the divine plan in your soul continues to
bring you mastery over life. You can now do or
have anything you want. The funny thing is that
physical things now don't bring as much satisfac-
tion as the spiritual. This shows how much you
have grown the past year or so. True happiness
has now been found.

Libra-Sept 23-Oct.22
Your determination is contagious. You never give
up. You seem to always have a dream you are fol-
lowing. This is the result of having such an open
heart and spirit. It is your greatest source of power.

History museum re-opens


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
The St. Lucie County His-
torical Museum re-opened
this week after renova-
tions, and if you are look-
ing for a place to spend an
afternoon with the kids,
the museum has a great
deal to offer.
Anne Sinnott, museum
educator, took me on a
guided tour of the facility
as it readied for its open-
ing.
The Seminole exhibit,
one of 16 permanent
exhibits of early St. Lucie
history, features an Indian
encampment, the Semi-
nole house known as a
chickee, and beautiful
patchwork clothing worn
by members of the tribe. A
17-foot cypress dugout
canoe shows how a family
would have navigated the
river waters of the Indian
River lagoon.
Also popular with visi-
tors old and young is a col-
lection of Spanish artifacts.
"A lot of people hear that
this is the Treasure Coast,"
Ms. Sinnott says. "They
may not know why we're
called that. Spanish ships
bringing back booty from
South America sank off the
coast. In 1715, there was a

terrible hurricane and 10
or 11 ships went down.
Every summer, someone
finds some treasure and
there's still treasure to be
found."
The museum also has
exhibits focusing on Flori-
da's rich agricultural her-
itage and includes displays
about the cattle industry,
which began in Florida.
"So many people who
have moved here recently
don't know that we have
some of the oldest history
in the United States in
Florida," Ms. Sinnott says.
"The cattle industry
began in Florida, thanks to
the Spanish who brought
cows from Spain. The cat-
tle business still thrives
here. The pineapple indus-
try was huge until World
War I and citrus is a big
part of our heritage; the
Spanish brought the first
oranges to Florida in the
1500s."
Other popular exhibits
include a reproduction of
the P.P. Cobb General Store
from a century ago and
instruments from a doc-
tor's office of the same
period, featuring a burr for
skull hole drilling and a
large surgical saw.
Next door to the muse-
um is the Gardner House,

moved to the museum site
in the 1980s.
A tour guide takes visi-
tors through the house,
which includes a child's
cradle covered in mosquito
netting, an old-fashioned
icebox and a water pump
on the porch.
Children can imagine life
without electricity, televi-
sion and video games.
If all the exhibits haven't
convinced you to come to
the museum, Ms. Sinnott
offers one additional
inducement.
"We've had the air condi-
tioning redone," she says.
"It's a good way to keep
cool."
The St. Lucie County His-
torical Museum, 414 Sea-
way Drive, Fort Pierce, is
open Tuesday-Saturday'
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and
Sunday from noon to 4
p.m.

zens and $1.50 for children

Creating appropriate folders


can clear up e-mail clutter


E very week I am called
to different business-
es and homes to help
with computer problems.
Many of the issues I'm
asked to resolve are e-
mail-related.
I am often astounded by
the amount of "clutter" I
find in the average inbox.
What has become clear
to me is that most people
either aren't aware of the
organizational capabilities
of their e-mail client, or
they know about them,
but don't know how to use
them.
Let's take a closer look at
Microsoft's Outlook
Express, an e-mail client
that's preinstalled on most
Windows-based
machines.
If you aren't using
Outlook Express, don't
worry. Most of the e-mail
programs out there will do
the same thing; you just
have to look around for
similar commands.
Let's assume that
Outlook Express is
installed and running
properly. Launch it, and
click on your inbox.
The inbox.holds all of
your incoming mail
(hence the name) until
you decide what to do
with it.
You have several
options.
First, of course, read the
e-mail by clicking on the
little envelope icon by
each message. But what
else can you do?
Well, you can delete the

sense of balance, justifies
your life and makes it so
worthwhile.

Scorpio-Oct.23-Nov.21
Slow down a little. It's better
to do a few things well than
leave many half finished.
When you begin to feel over-
loaded, stop, take a few deep
breaths and then move for-
ward. Take time for the things
you love. If it isn't fun, don't
do it. Attitude is so important.
You don't have to be strong
and responsible all the time.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Coming back to your creative
self insures a lot of new
growth, happiness and suc-
cess. Keep those visions flow-
ing and take action to bring
them into reality. A Sagittarius
manifesting a dream is one of
the happiest sights to behold
in the universe. This is why
you are the archer.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You seem to thrive under
stress. When others around
you are falling apart, you
keep on keeping on. Your
powerful presence and
insight is felt and respected
by everyone. You are a
proven winner in the game of
life. Stay on the edge, follow
your heart and the doors will
continue to open for you.

where the cluttered inbox

You may have noticed
that the only folders in the
folders list are "inbox,"
"outbox," "sent," "deleted
items" and "drafts."
What if your.files don't
fit those categories?
Well, you have to create
the appropriate folders.

Sometimes less is more. Each

feed your spirit this way. Say,
"I am attuned to the divine
will. I make wise choices. My

open and enhancing myself
and everyone I touch. I live
with love, peace, joy and
abundance in every area of
my life. Mine is a wonderful
life and I am grateful":

folders set up, say good-
bye to inbox clutter.
Let's go over an exam-
ple.
Let's say that every day
you get e-mail from Tom,
Dick and Harry. You want
to save these messages
but your inbox is a mess.
With the "right" mouse
button, click on the "local
folders" icon in the folders
list.
Next, click "new folder."
Type "Tom" and then
click OK. Do the same for
Dick and again for Harry.
Now you'll have three
new folders under local
folders called "Tom,"
"Dick" and "Harry."
You are now ready to
start filing.
Anytime you open your
e-mail inbox and you have
a message from Tom, Dick
or Harry, just drag the
envelope icon and drop it
into the appropriate
folder. Namely, drag
messages from Tom and
drop into the Tom folder.
Create as many folders
as you like.
Once the folders are
created, keeping your
inbox tidy is a snap; just
drag the messages you
want to keep into the
appropriate folders and
delete the ones you don't,
and every time you need a
new folder, just create
one.
Your inbox will thank
you.

Treat your pests to a tea of tobacco or garlic


With all the heavy
rains we have been
having, we'll soon
be fighting lots of insect
pests in our yards and
gardens.
There are many options
you can use to control these
pests. Some options use
highly toxic pesticides.
However, there are other,
more natural options that
might not be as effective,
but are much safer for you
and the environment.
Probably two of the most
common insecticides ever


used were just recently
taken off the market
because they were so toxic
to humans and the environ-
ment.
The products were known
as Dursban and Diazinon.
Both were very effective,
but if used incorrectly, were
also very dangerous.
These products have been
replaced with newer and
somewhat safer products,
but in many cases, I have
been told they are not quite
as effective.
These new varieties are


primarily synthetic
pyrethroids, which can
include chemicals such as
Delta Guard, Talsar and
Tempo. These chemicals are
actually refined from a type
of chrysanthemum flower,
which makes them more of
a natural product.
Most of these Dursban
replacements are consid-
ered broad-spectrum
insecticides and are suitable
for most general-purpose
tasks.
Most of your granular and
liquid products on the
market today will contain
either one of the chemicals
mentioned or something
similar.
With all the talk of going
natural, many people today
are using insecticidal soaps.
These products offer good
control of many soft-bodied
pests such as whiteflies,
aphids, mealybugs, caterpil-
lars and spider mites.
People like to use these
products because they are
far less toxic than many
other alternatives.
One of the main draw-
backs of insecticidal soaps is
the chemical has to come in
direct contact with the
insect in order to kill it.

Once the spray is dry, it is
no longer going to be
effective against killing the
insects.
New pests that hatch or
arrive on your plants after
the solution dried will not
be killed.
Frequent application is
needed in order for it to be
effective.
Also, this product is not
effective for hard-bodied
critters such as scale. For
these type of insects, you
need to use a systemic
product such as Orthenex.
Treating a vegetable
garden for insects can be
even more challenging,
because most people do not
want to use highly toxic
chemicals on plants they are
going to consume.
One of the most common
chemicals used for garden
vegetables is Sevin dust,
which is also called carbaryl.
This product can be
applied by using a special
duster, or you can often buy
it in containers that have a
duster spout for easy
application.
Sevin can also be applied
to pets to control fleas (read
package directions).
Personally, I would do this
with caution even though
the directions sayyou can
safely do this.
I have heard of many
people using the dust on
their carpets and after a few
hours simply vacuum the
dust up.
It is very effective against
fleas.
For safety, always use
goggles, a mask and gloves
when applying this or any
insecticide.
Some people even want tc
go more organic when it
comes to using insecticides.
There are some home
remedies you can mix up
yourself and experiment
with.
Let's start with nicotine.
You heard right. Nicotine
can be highly toxic to certain
pests, such as aphids,
whiteflies and leafhoppers.
You can go to a specialty
nursery supplier and try to
find a nicotine concentrate
or you can make "nicotine
tea" by using chewing
tobacco and apiece of old
stocking.
Put a "wad" of tobacco in
a piece of nylon stocking
and let it steep as you would
any other tea.
Use one wad with a gallon
of warm water. Also you can
add 1/2 a teaspoon of pure
dish detergent to make sure
the tea sticks to the plants.
Another great home
remedy is made from garlic.
Garlic spray can be a great
pest repellent and can also
be sprayed around'your
yard to deter mosquitoes.
Here's how to make the
solution.
Soak 3 ounces of minced
garlic cloves in about 2
teaspoons of mineral oil for
about 24 hours or so.
Then add about a pint of
water along with about a
half teaspoon of liquid soap.
Strain the concentrate and
store in a glass container. As
you are ready to use the
concentrate, mix about 2
tablespoons in a pint or so
of water.
You can test your mixture
to see how well it performs
and make adjustments as
needed.
When you spray your
plants, do so while the sun is
not directly on the plants.
Spray the plants thor-
oughly and always test spray
when you are treating
sensitive ornamentals to be
sure you get no leaf damage.
And you thought garlic
was only for pizza.

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 "Al' e.i.
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectati
customers. ,

parts, body st
and account


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
lOit,'r.-' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.


Virtually every car dealer of education and Why am I writing this lett

Vacation packages made for women


girls just want to have
G-Ifun, so this column is
all about girls'
getaways.
There are tour operators
who concentrate just on
mother and daughter
outings, where they can
spend a little quality time
bonding abroad.
Tour operators that
specialize in this type of
travel include Globus and
Cosmos and GutsyWomen
Travel.
Summer is here, so don't
miss out on the opportunity
to start thinking about
sharing some quality
bonding time abroad with
your friends, daughters,
book club buddies or
sorority sisters.
It's a different kind of
travel, but one from which
you will return with won-
derful memories.
Since most women love
and live to shop, why not
consider a week in Paris and
London?
These two shopping
meccas are packed with
designer stores, outdoor
markets, antiques and, most
importantly, fabulous shoes.
Ladies can pick up a pair
of Manolo Blahnik's on
Church Street in London or
find the hottest Dolce &
Gabbanas on Rue Rivoli in
Paris. Just make sure you
bring an empty suitcase, as
shopping temptations will
surround you during your
stay.


GERALDINE BLANCHARD
Travel columnist
Here are a few favorite
places to consider.
London
London has enough
shopping variety to accom-
modate the tastes of
everyone from the queen to
Madonna, so you are sure to
find something you love.
The following places for a
little shopper's delight seem
to be the favorites according
to general consensus:
Stella McCartney, 30
Bruton St.' True to her
mother's strict vegetarian
principles, Stella doesn't use
leather or suede, but makes
her unique statement with
ultra-suede purses and
trendy synthetic stilettos.
Gwyneth and Scarlett
approve!
Spitalfield's Market,
Commercial Street. Here
you can browse through 250
stalls of everything from
candles and oils to the latest


fashions. It's a great way to
spend an afternoon with the
girls. Thursday and Sun-
days are the best days to go,
but it's open all week.
Paris
Paris is a shopaholic's
dream, and those who travel
there in January or July, will
be excited to find that Dior,
Prada, Channel and most
designers have marked
down their trendiest items
50 percent to 70 percent.
Here are our two top picks
for the best shopping finds
in this beautiful city.
Place de laVictoire: Once
you have shopped the
touristy Champs Elys6es, get
off the beaten path and
head for the Place de la
Victoire, a square in Paris
with tons of great stores,
such as Energie, where you
can pick up this year's
hottest items.
March de la Cr6ation
Paris Montparnasse: Rue de
la Gaitt
You will love bringing
home a real piece of Parisian
art. This market explodes
with paintings, sculptures,


ceramics and jewelry from
local exhibitors all year
round. Do allow for plenty
of time, as you will not want
to leave. Well worth it.
Happy shopping, ladies.
This column just gives
you a tantalizing taste of
what can be awaiting you
once you have visited the
usual places of interest in
these two cities.
London and Paris never
sleep, so this is a getaway
that promises to keep you
on your toes.
Get together with your
favorite travel agent who
will take care of every detail
so you can relax, knowing
that you have nothing to
think about except having
fun.
Until your actual trip,
happy travel dreams.

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

The Indiantown Com-
merce & Technology Park,
the first permit-ready proj-
ect in Martin County, was
scheduled to hold its
groundbreaking celebration
on June 21.
"We're not the first to rec-
ognize the potential
Indiantown possesses," said
Dick Sheehan, one of the
principal investors in the
project alongside
Indiantown natives Kevin
and David Powers.
"But it's exciting to be


among the first ofwhat we're
sure will be a long line of
businesses and investors to
begin tapping into that
potential," he said.
With 1.3 million square
feet on 99 acres and some of
the latest technological
capabilities in communica-
tions and connectivity, the
park is sandwiched
between western Palm
Beach and St. Lucie coun-
ties to better meet the
industrial space needs of
incoming biotech compa-
nies.

Soften rant about the U.S.
Golf Association
Between falling asleep
with regard to golf ball test-
ing and its latest stance on
groove technology, golf's
governing body in this
country often leaves me
scratching my head.
In the past, as I have
watched our national
championship, the U.S.
Open, I grew tired of seeing
players putting on greens as
hard as rock and as smooth
and fast as the tiled floor in
my kitchen.
While I did like the idea of
making the guys play out of
some serious rough, I
always found it a bit ridicu-
lous to have it more than
ankle-deep just a step off
the too-narrow fairways.
Far too often our champi-
onship was too penal, with
only perfect shots rewarded.
This year, however, was
different.
I found last week's 107th
U.S. Open to be quite enjoy-
able and as fair a test of
championship golf as I have
witnessed in many years. It
also seems that any player
not named Mickelson
found it to be that way as
well.
Giving credit where it is
due, I must say, "thank you
USGA."
Today's game has evolved
into a test of muscle and
brute strength instead of the
calculating and precise
game that I grew up with. I
find the latter to be more
challenging and requiring
more talent.
Week in and week out, as
we watch the pros play for
millions of dollars, we see a
game that requires distance
and a great wedge game.
Gone are the days of hit-
ting long irons into greens.
The guy hitting fairways and
unable to hit a golf ball as far
as the eye can see is being
pushed out at our game's
highest level. a
A lot of that changed at
our championship.
Players who could only hit
fairways with mid irons or

It's official: Cheerleading is a sport


JAMES STAMMER
Golf columnist


or call: (772) 919-7111


By MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
For as long as there have
been high school sports,
there have been cheerlead-
ers to support the athletes.
Now, Florida high school
cheerleaders will need
some cheerleaders of their
own.
Earlier this month, the
Florida High School Athletic
Association approved a
movement to hold state
championships for com-
petitive cheerleading in
2008. The state champi-


onship has undoubtedly
paved the way for the
emerging sport to one day
be sanctioned by the
FHSAA. For a sport to reach
sanctioned status, 10 per-
cent of FHSAA member
schools located in at least
two of the four states
regions and compete in the
sport for a minimum of two
years.
"Just having the girls get
the recognition is exciting.
We know how hard the girls
work," Fort Pierce Central
cheerleading coach Peggy
Rickman said. "We're get-


ting more respect than the
ditsy blonde with the short
skirt, just like it's hard for
the football players to get
past the jock stereotype."
Rickman sat on a panel
with other coaches from the
Treasure Coast and South
Florida to help provide the
FHSAA with information
about the sport of competi-
tive cheerleading and why it
should have its own state
championships.
The biggest hurdle was
, convincing some members
of the panel that cheerlead-
ers practice just as hard as

other athletes and that Hol-
lywood's impression of a
cheerleading competition
is, at best, a gross exaggera-
tion.
Cheerleaders start prac-
tice in the fall and continue
throughout the rest of the
year. Most squads practice
daily after school depend-
ing on game schedules.
Practices run around two
and-a-half hours, and most
cheerleaders will argue

Cheer
From page B 11
right as football players do
setting up passing schemes.
"Everyone goes off the
Hollywood movie, 'Bring it
On,' and it's just the worst
representation," Rickman
said. "If they could come out
and see a competition, it's
just so cut throat. It's so
much different than sideline
cheerleading."
The competitive cheer-
leading season will begin in
August and culminate with
the state championships in
March. Teams will compete
in three to 10 competitions
throughout the season.
The two-day state cham-
pionship will consist of a
semifinal and final round for
eight divisions based on
squad size. There will be four
girls-only divisions, small
(up to 12 members), medi-
um (13-16 members), large
(17-20 members) and extra
large (21-26 members).
There will also be two co-ed
divisions, small (1-4 boys on
team) and large (5 or more
boys on team) and two spe-
cial divisions for non-tum-
bling and non-mount.
No team can exceed 26
members.
Compared to some dance
and cheer competitions, the
FHSAA state championships
will only have one event for
each school. Squads will
only get to compete one
routine lasting 2:30.
There will not be multiple
categories for schools to

compete in, putting even
more pressure on teams to
be perfect when it counts.
"I'm excited because I feel
that my girls work just as
hard as any other athlete.
I'm not excited that it's just
one event," said Port St.
Lucie High School cheer-
leading coach Mary Ann
Nollinger. "You have got to
be on."
While most schools on the
Treasure Coast are excited
for the recognition, others
are still waiting to allow stu-
dent-athletes to participate.
Martin County schools
will not compete in compet-
itive cheerleading in 2007-
2008, and are not looking to
add the sport anytime soon.
Although some members of
the athletic community
would love to see competi-
tive cheerleading in Martin
County schools, county offi-
cials will not entertain
adding any sport until it is
fully sanctioned by the
FHSAA.'
"There is interest," said
Martin County High School
Athletic Director Greg Hen-
dricks. "It's not a school
board adopted sport. As of
now we're not going to have
it as a starter next year."
The main hold up comes
with keeping the county in
compliance with Title X.
Until the sport becomes
sanctioned, bringing junior
varsity teams with it, it will
have no affect on Title IX
even though competitive
cheerleading is a predomi-
nately female sport.
"It's not sanctioned yet,
and until it's sanctioned we


won't even look at it," said
Hank Salzer, a Martin Coun-
ty Assistant Superintendent
who serves as the county's
athletic director.
"One of the big pluses with
(competitive cheerleading)
is if it works with Title IX.
Then it Would be something
that we would look at."
But it could be years'
before competitive cheer-
leading becomes a sanc-

There are weekly sessions

leader Alicia Almade. "Now

Competitive cheerleading will have its own state champi-

sport, but because competitive cheerleading is not yet

Stammer
From page B 11

fairway woods were forced
to use them in that fashion,
or risk carding rounds well
above par.
There was no advantage
to hitting a 350-yard drive,
40 yards off line. Finally
someone had the nerve to
rein in the "bomb and
gouge" gang and force them
to play a complete game
from tee to hole.
There is a reason that the
PGA Tour does not run any
of the four majors and why
the week-to-week setups on
the tour are so different from
what we witness at the four
majors.
Simply put, the PGA Tour
is in the entertainment busi-
ness.
The USGA, the Royal and
Ancient and the PGA of
America are in the business
of conducting champi-
onships, developing and
growing the game and keep-
ing the rules of the game up
to date.
Imagine your weekly PCGA
Tour event with narrow fair-
ways, deep rough and
greens that send marginal
approach shots off the
edges. How long would the
television ratings remain
highif we saw rounds in the
upper 70 and-into the 80s
every week?
My guess would be not
verylong.
The PGA Tour sets up the
courses with very little
rough, easier pin place-
ments, non-penal bunkers
and spoils the players all
week. The tour wants eagles
and birdies, and the more
the better.
After all, if these guys
don't card scores much
lower than you and I can

Dance team tryouts

Auditions for Legacy
Dance Team for the 2007-
2008 season will be on July
21 at Kaizen Karate at Lake-
side Center in Port St. Lucie
from 1:30-6 p.m.
Legacy Dance team needs
high-energy female and
male dancers ages 11 to 18
to perform and compete.
Dance experience is a plus,


only dream of, how good
can they really be?
The USGA, on the other
hand, wants to determine
the best overall player in
the field. The brass at the
organization feels, as many
of us recreational golfers
do, that hitting the ball
where you are supposed to
should be rewarded. Accu-
racy should be just as
important as length.
When players at Oak-
mont this past week drifted
from the closely mown fair-
ways, they found some
serious rough.
This year the USGA final-
ly put in graduated rough
so that the guy 2 feet off the
fairway wasn't punished as
severely as the guy 20 yards
off.
Paul Casey proved with
his round of 66 on Satur-
day, that by hitting fairways
and striking irons well on
approach shots, under-par
rounds are to be found,
even at a U.S. Open.
Far too many players
have become comfortable
just ripping the ball as far
as they can, with no regard
to which direction it goes.
The PGA Tour is ruining
our game.
Since 2000, only two
Americans have won our
championship. From 1980-
99, Americans won 17 of 20.
Is the world simply
catching up, or have we for-
gotten how to play the
game the way is should be
played on a tough golf
course?
Give me the tough
course, and let the most
complete player win, wher-
ever he is from.

In addition, before a storm hits, turn
your fridge up to the highest setting to
help the fridge maintain a safe temper-
ature as long as possible in the event of
a power outage.
#4 GENERATORS Make sure you
test and run your generator now, before
the storm hits. Have fuel on hand and
stored safely.
Remember, with some careful plan-
ning and know how, your chances of
making a quick recovery are much more
likely. Check the latest tropical outlooks
at least every 2 days to stay abreast of
any possible tropical entities that might
pose a future threat. You can receive

I hurricanes have the ability to inflict
severe destruction and discomfort to all
in their path; it is imperative that we all
be well prepared long before a storm is
announced.
#1 HAVE A PLAN. Hold a family
meeting and talk about how you might
handle different scenarios. Decide at
what point you might consider evacua-
tion, for example, and choices for
where you would go.
#2 HURRICANE SURVIVAL KIT -
This should include items such as flash-
lights, extra batteries, a NOAA weather
radio, battery operated lanterns, bat-
tery operated TV, plastic sheeting and
drop-cloths, basic hand tools, a genera-
tor, 5 gallon fuel containers, duct tape,
an assortment of fasteners and a work-
ing fire extinguisher. Make a run to the
ATM machine before the storm hits.
Cash may be the only way to purchase
goods after a storm.
#3 STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES.
These should include ready to eat and
non-perishable foods, bottled water (5
