Services at parks and beaches

likely to be reduced by cuts


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
MARTIN COUNTY -
Tourists and residents
alike have come to expect
a high level of service and
maintenance when it
comes to Martin County's
parks and beaches.
However, that may
drastically change should
the 2007-2008 proposed
budget for Parks and
Recreation, reduced by
impacts from the tax
reform legislation, go into
effect.
Richard Blankenship,
director of Martin County
Parks and Recreation, will
be presenting the pro-
posed budget to Martin
County commissioners
on July 17-18 and again


the week of July 23, high-
lighting $1,071,294 in
reductions from the
2006-2007 fiscal year
budget.
Below is a list of some
of those reductions, most
of which are listed as hav-
ing a "medium" or "high"
impact to the public
should it be approved.
Closing parks
Up to 30 parks main-
tained by Parks and Recre-
ation face potential clo-
sure.
Mr. Blankenship said
that some parks could be
handed over to other enti-
ties, such as Florida Fish
and Wildlife, for manage-
ment.
Other parks are in
neighborhood facilities


which homeowners'
associations or other
groups would have the
option to "adopt" to keep
them open.
"From a statistical per-
spective, the last thing we
want to do is lay anyone
off or close any facility,
but we've selected sites
that can be managed by
others or close if we have
to," he said.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $84,529.
Discontinuing skate
park management
Martin County current-
ly has five skate parks.
Three are managed by

County schools


score mostly A's


BY'RITA HART
Staff writer
MARTIN COUNTY -
The noise you may have
heard throughout Martin
County on June 29 was the
sound of celebration, as
the Florida Department .of
Education released school
grades for the 2006-2007
academic year.
Eighteen of Martin Coun-
ty's 19 schools received an A
grade, while J.D. Parker
School of Science, Math
and Technology received a
B.
J.D. Parker students had
an additional reason to be
proud, however. They
attend the only school in
the state that had 100 per-
cent of students scoring at


or above proficiency level
in the writing portion of
the Florida Comprehen-
sive Assessment Test.
"We are very excited,"
said Sara A. Wilcox, super-
intendent of the Martin
County School District.
"I've spoken with either
the principal or the assis-
tant principal of every
school in Martin County.
There is a lot of celebrating
occurring with tears of
happiness and joy because
it represents such a high
level of achievement," she
said.
Of the 18 schools with an
A grade, six had improved
from a B grade received
last year. Those six were

July 7 a popular date with


local brides and businesses


Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Steven LaSasso of Port St. Lucie and his fiancee Heather
Motto are one of many couples in the country making
the 7/7/07 date a popular day to marry. The couple has
been together for six years and has been waiting for this
special date for the last two years.


By SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Port St. Lucie resident
Heather Motto is one of
many brides who have
chosen July 7 as their
wedding date.
Engaged couples that
like the idea of being
married on 7/7/07 have
made it one of the
busiest days on record
for businesses involved
in the wedding industry.
Ms. Motto, 24, who will
wed Steven LaSasso, 23,
on the date, chose it
because of their dog.
"We got a puppy and
when we went to buy the
dog food. the bill came to
$7.77," NMs. Motto said.
"I freaked out. I told
Steven that we were get-
ting married on that day.
I later found out it was
his grandparents'
anniversary and the day
his grandfather passed
away. We felt we needed
to keep that day."
They didn't know it was


such a popular choice
until later.
. "You can't book a place
for the rehearsal dinner
or a limo," she said. "The
videographer only took
us because he had a can-
cellation, and that was
months ago. Now it's
become a 7/7/07 thing
for us, and anything that
has the date on it I buy.
We've gotten caught up
in it too."
Dee Ruccolo, owner of
Wedding Cakes by Dee in
Stuart, said she had to
turn away business for
July 7.
"I'm very busy. Fifteen
brides called. I can't do
more than two or three
and I had to turn them all
away. They -aid that they
chose it because it's a
lucky date and because
their husbands won't for-
get the date."
Karan Boyles, owner of
Special Events Port St.
Lucie, a bridal salon that
also rents tuxedos and
sells invitations, said that


she's heard the same
thing from many brides.
"We have 13 weddings
for that day, and those
are just the ones we have
files on. It doesn't include
lookers and people
who've bought acces-
sories or had shoes dyed.
Every day someone else
comes in. They say it's a
date their husbands
won't forget. The last
time it was so crazy was
212/02."
Frank Giordano, owner
of Giordano's Floral Cre-
ations, which serves Stu-
art, Fort Pierce and Port
St. Lucie, said that they
have been booked up for
that date for almost a
year.
"Every wedding vendor
I know who's good is
already booked up. We
know eight months to a
year ahead about a good
day. We have two very
large weddings, equal to
the standard five in one

Reported crimes
in Martin County
, are up by 11.6
percent over
IF 2005 results
BY MATT DONEGAN
Staff writer
The number of crimes
reported is up in 2006
i over 2005 in St. Lucie and
Martin counties, but
down in Indian River
LI County, a new report
shows.
Statewide, the crime
index dropped by 1 per-
cent in 2006 over 2005,
reaching a 36-year low,
but in the Nineteenth
Judicial Circuit, which is
comprised of St. Lucie,
Indian River, Martin and
Okeechobee counties, it
rose by 5.8 percent from
19,247 crimes to 20,361,
according to the 2006
Annual Uniform Crime


Report.
Martin County's crime
index is up 11.6 percent
to 4,497 reported crimes.
There were more than
400 more larcenies in
2006 than in 2005.
One of the most drastic
increases in the state
came in Port St. Lucie,
where the crime index
jumped by 30 percent
from 2,984 in 2005 to,
3,903 in 2006.
Port St. Lucie Police
Chief John Skinner noted
that, by percentage, this
was. the largest increase
in crime for any metro-
politan department in
the state, with the closest
challenger being the
Cape Coral Police
Department, which saw
its rate rise by 24.7 per-
cent.
Part of the reason for
the spike is due to
growth, he said. The city's
population rose from
129,135 in '05 to 144,159
in '06. From 2005 to 2006,
Florida's population
increased by 2.4 percent,
or almost 500,000 new
residents. Even 'during
this time of growth, Flori-
da's index crime rate
decreased 1 percent.
Port St. Lucie's 1,065
burglaries and 2,335 lar-
cenies accounted for 87
percent of the city's
drime. There were 770
burglaries and 1,783 lar-
cenies in 2005.
"This was a bedroom
community for a long
time," Chief Skinner said.
"It has now become more
urban, .and with that
comes urban crimes."'
While he said Port St.
Lucie's crime statistics
were low to begin with,
and their rise with the
population is reflected
with a sharp increase in
the index percentage, the
chief said the figures
nonetheless do cause
some concern, especially
because of the potential
of having to scale back on
operations due to prop-
erty tax reform.
"The public perception
is that government is top
heavy and fat," he said.
"We have 256 officers for
a population of 144,000.
Fort Lauderdale has (510,
for a population of
176,000). We're doing

more with less, and we're
trying to be as efficient as
we can with our
resources."
Port St. Lucie's crime
contributed highly to the
10.3 percent rise in St.
Lucie County's crime
index. The Fort Pierce
Police Department's
index was up 3.1 percent,
while the crime index for
the Sheriff's Office, which
handles the county's
unincorporated areas,
was down 4.1 percent.
Like Chief Skinner,
Sheriff Ken Mascara said
he feels a rise in the pop-
ulation in both Fort
Pierce and Port St. Lucie
played a role in the rise of
the crime index in each
of those cities.
In Indian River County,
4,422 crimes were report-
ed in 2006, which is 6.7
percent lower than in
2005. It was the only
Treasure Coast county-
wide index that was down
from 2005.
Jeff Luther, a
spokesman for the Indian
River County Sheriff's
Office, points to a high
case clearance rate as
one reason for the
decline in the index.
Among the Indian River
County Sheriff's Office
and Fellsmere, Sebastian
and Vero Beach police
departments, the average
case clearance rate in
2006 was 26.6 percent.
More than just solving
cases, Mr. Luther attrib-
utes the drop in the index
to help from the commu-
nity.
"Public participation
has increased," he said.
"People are being more
attentive to their neigh-
borhoods, calling things
in when they see them,
and we're able to make
the arrest."
The 2006 Annual Uni-
form Crime Report

The family of Molly Sharkey and the administrators of Molly's house have reached an agreement on the future
roles.The two sides had been at odds over the makeup of the board of directors among other issues.


'Reconciliation meeting' held at Molly's


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
STUART In what
was deemed a "recon-
ciliation meeting" by
the administrators of
Molly's House, a meet-
ing was held on June 25
to resolve recent con-
flicts surrounding the
future role of the family
of Molly Sharkey, for
whom the house is
named.
Molly's House opened
in 1996 to honor the
dream of Molly Sharkey
to provide housing and
support to families of
critically ill patients.
Molly died of leukemia
in 1986.
Since the inception of
Molly's House, a mem-
ber of Molly's family has
always served on the
board of directors.
Controversy began in
March,. pitting Molly's
family against Molly's


House board of direc-
tors, which holds the
responsibility of keep-
ing Molly's legacy alive.
The Sharkey family
said it had an unwritten
understanding with the
governing board of
Molly's House that a
member of Molly's fam-
ily would always serve
on the board of direc-
tors. Those members
are permitted to serve a
maximum of two three-
year terms.
However, Bill Rolo,
president of the board,
said at the time the
Sharkeys wanted to take
a break from serving on
the board, and Kevin
Sharkey, Molly's father,
whose term on the
board had just ended,
declined an offer to
serve in an advisory,
non-voting capacity.
At the board's meeting
in March, no member of
the Sharkey family was


on the list of individu-
als nominated for a
board position.
As a result of the
meeting held June 25,
however, Mr. Sharkey
.accepted the advisory
position until a mem-
ber of the family is
nominated to the board
in a few months.
"The plan is that I am
temporarily working
with the board as advi-
sor until August, when
Debbie (Molly's moth-
er) will take over as
board member," said
Mr. Sharkey.
"She will fulfill the
term of Dr. Mike Sohl
until April of 2008. After
that, Debbie would take
a full three-year term
on the board," he said.
Dr. Sohl recently
resigned from the board
of directors.

director of Molly's
House, said, "It's been

To Whom it May Concern,
Hi, my name is Angela Leone and I am training to be a professional ballerina.
I have been dancing for 13 years and I truly have a passion for ballet. I have been
working with Fletcher McLane for about a month now training for the Orlando
Ballet. He is such a great person at heart and wants to improve people's well-
being. Every time we work out he teaches me something new and I show him bal-
let moves to benefit my training. He specifically works the right muscles for any
activity you are training for.
I have seen women one week and they look great when I see them the next
week. The other thing that is great about Fletch is that he works one on one and
does the exercises along with you. He is very professional, and knows what he is
talking about when he will give you a strict diet or just doing certain exercises.
Working out to me is a pleasure when I go into the gym with Fletch. I have
learned so much from him about taking care of my body and just being healthy. I
recommend Fletch to anybody who wants to work hard, is up for a new chal-
lenge, and wants to start a new chapter in their life. He has made me a stronger
dancer and I have only been with. him for a month.
Sincerely.

our intention all along

The appointment of
other board members
in March was to accom-

reasons, so that is why
Mr. Sharkey was offered

Four Winds dock scene of
attempted boat burglaries

On June 15, a witness reported a boat burglary in progress
at the dock located at the Four Winds Condominiums.
When Stuart police responded at 2:11 a.m., one of the sus-
pects fled on foot, while a second suspect unsuccessfully
tried to hide in the boat. An alarm on the boat, next to
where he was allegedly hiding, gave him away.
James Sean Carroll, 19, of 2642 S.E. Normand St., Stuart,
was charged with burglary and trespass in the incident and
was held on $4,000 bond in the Martin County Jail.
Also charged with burglary and trespass was Elliott Jones,
17, 1024 S.E. Riverside Drive, Stuart. Mr. Jones was released
to the custody of a parent, pending prosecution.
One June 27, as a result of an ongoing investigation into
the boat burglary by Stuart Police Detective Frank Logalbo,
two additional men were charged with burglary.
They are Stuart residents Eric Curtis Leaver, 18, 919 River-
side Drive, and Tyler McKinnon Jezek, 19,2040 N.W. Marsh
Rabbit Lane.
Any individual residing on waterfront property with boats
parked at their docks are being asked by the Stuart Police to
inventory their equipment and contact Detective Logalbo
at (772) 220-3911 if anything is missing.

Stuart teen doesn't get far with fireworks
Wal-Mart officials at 4001 S. Federal Highway contacted
Stuart police on June 25, after a teenager activated alarms
while allegedly walking past registers with a cart containing
$470 in fireworks.
Charged with felony retail theft was Robert L. Morris, 16,
417 Park Ave., Stuart. Mr. Morris was taken to the juvenile
detention center in Fort Pierce.

IRCC accredited to offer bachelor's degrees
Following a rigorous examination of Indian River Com-
munity College and its comprehensive plan to offer nine
workforce-oriented bachelor's degree programs, the South-
ern Association of Colleges and Schools has accredited the
school as a bachelor's degree granting institution, IRCC's
president announced June 26.
'Accreditation of IRCC at the bachelor's degree level signi-
fies a major step in the College's 48-year history," said presi-
dent Edwin R. Massey. "The very thorough review conduct-
ed by SACS represents a favorable evaluation of all aspects
of the college's plan to offer four-year degree programs.
IRCC's Baccalaureate programs will provide more teachers,
nurses and managers to meet critical workforce needs and
will enable many place-bound area residents to pursue
higher education."
The SACS Compliance and Reports Committee reviewed
a 331-page Substantive Change Application submitted by
IRCC, as well as extensive background and statistical mate-
rial, regarding the need for expanded educational opportu-
nities on the Treasure Coast and the college's institutional
capacity to provide four-year degree programs.
IRCC will begin offering the Baccalaureate programs in
January 2008 at a cost of approximately $75 per credit for
Florida residents, about 1/3 less per credit than the cost at
Florida state universities. For more information, call the
IRCC Information Call Center at (866) 866-4722.

o I buy lots of jewelry from
I the public. To do so I must
fill out a police report when
purchasing jewelry from
the public. We must ask
0 whose ring (or whatever
they are selling) it is. We do
r this to determine whether it
r is their property to sell or if
. they have authorization to
. sell it. And I frequently
M hear something that dis-
turbs me. One of them is,
from ladies that have been
engaged but have since
broken off the engage-
V ment. They have given the
.E engagement ring back. The
t second thing I hear is that
S the man brings the ring in
to sell and he tells me he
"took". it back.
Well here's the real deal.
If you receive an engage-
ment ring, it's yours. You
can wear it, sell it, or do
anything you want with it.
It's yours. If he "takes" it
back without your authori-
zation, it is still' yours and
you can take whatever
legal means you like to get
it back. Therefore if he tries
to sell it to me or any other
jeweler it is not his to sell.
This is straight from the
detective that is our repre-
sentative from the sheriff's

Children's Services Council's executive director to retire


BY RITA HART
Staff writer


STUART The Chil-
dren's Services Council
of Martin County, first
organized in 1989, has
had only one executive
director in its history.
That man, Harry A.
Yates, who was hired as
executive director in Jan-
uary of 1990, has
announced his retire-
ment, effective Aug. 31.
Although retiring, Mr.
Yates said there are still
many things he would
like to do.
"I've been nominated
to sit on the Blueprint
commission for the
Department of Juvenile
Justice by that agency's
secretary, Walter McNeil.
I would enjoy doing that
if it happens," said Mr.
Yates.
The commission's pur-
pose is to increase public
safety by decreasing
juvenile delinquency.
The mission of CSC is
to "enhance the lives of
the children of Martin
County and to enable


them to attain their full
potential."
The Hometown News
recently posed questions
of Mr. Yates as he reflect-
ed on his 17 years with
CSC:
Q. What do you see as
your greatest achieve-
ment in your years with
CSC?
A. There are many I
feel are most important;
the first is the establish-
ment and growth of the
Council.
*In17 years, we grew
from a staff of two,
awarding 11 programs
$500,000, to a staff of 10
awarding 41 programs
just over $5.3 million.
The New Monrovia
Neighborhood project -
Over 12 years ago I
attended a meeting in
New Monrovia where
they were concerned
about the youth in their
neighborhood and the
rise in delinquency. I
helped them form a citi-
zens' committee and
since that time they have
utilized funds from the
Council to develop after


school/out-of-school
programs in collabora-
tion with the Martin
County Parks and Recre-
ation Department.
*The development of
the Dunbar Child Care
Center in Hobe Sound -
This was the idea of
Grace Harris and with
her tenacity and some
help for the CSC there is
an outstanding child
care center serving the
Dunbar community in
Hobe Sound.
*The collaboration that
has been developed
between the agencies in
Martin County. Most
important is the partner-
ship between the Boys
and Girls Club, the coun-
ty and the Parks and
Recreation Departments
for the after school/out-
of-school programs in
Indiantown and East
Stuart areas.
*The Whole-Child Pro-
ject. This started out of a
grant denied Martin
County by the Lawton
Childs Foundation. After
presenting the program
to United Way of Martin


County and the Commu-
nity Foundation of Palm
Beach and Martin coun-
ties, we collaborated on
a two year research proj-
ect that culminated in
the development of a
program that, in brief,
electronically assess the
needs of families, finds
the appropriate services
and establishes contact
and sets up appoint-
ments for the families.
*I also have to include
the development in part-
nership with United Way;
the creation of the Mar-
tin County InterAgency
Coalition; partnership
with the school district
in creating the Shared
Services < Executive,
Roundtable of Martin
County; and in partner-
ship with the Depart-
ment of Children and
Families, the creation of
the Shared Services
Alliance of Okeechobee
and the Treasure Coast.
*In the final analysis,
however, the one thing I
am most proud of is the
excellent staff that I have
had the opportunity to
work.with over the past
17 years. Much has been
accomplished with their
commitment and dedi-
cation. I best serve as an
idea person and initiator
and they have filled in
the details. Of all things,
they will be missed the
most.
Q. What was the most
difficult issue you faced
at CSC?
-A. The one issue that
stands out deals with
school nurses and their
funding.
Some members of the
council want the CSC to
fund a full compliment
of nurses to serve every
school. The figures
ranged from 12. to, 18
nurses.
I recommended
against this proposal for
two reasons; 1) State
statute prohibited the.
CSC from funding pro-
grams under the juris-
diction of the school dis-
trict, and 2) at the time
we would have had to
raise the taxes to a point
that would have severely
impeded the council's
ability to fund other pro-
grams. During the pub-
lic hearing on that year's
budget, a number of citi-
zens spoke up against
the school nurse project
being funded with CSC
dollars.
The council adopted
the budget without the
school nurses included.
To this day I am blamed
by some as the instigator
for the public showing
against the proposal.
However, having
worked at all levels of
government and for
councils, commissions
and boards, my ethics


Harry Yates
stay within the confines
of my professional
responsibilities and the
recommendations I
make.
The council is the final
decision maker and I
have never used 'my
position to solicit out-
side influence in opposi-
tion to the council or to
promote my opinion
before any council, com-
mission or board for
which I have worked.
Q. What concerns do
you have about the tax
reform legislation's
impact on CSC services?
A. The first part, the
statutory change, pro-
vides a cap on our col-
lection of revenue, which
in the current analysis
doesn't hurt the Martin
County CSC that much.
Our current plan is not
to fund new programs or
allow enhancements of
existing programs. Of
course, we are'in the pre-
liminary stages of our
budget process and for
this year, my goal is not
to harm any funded
agency.
However all the facts
are not in and we all are
working on preliminary
data and assessed valua-
tions.
The major impact is
going to occur with the
January referendum
when the voters decide if
they want the "super" tax
reform or not.
If the measure passes,
the summer of 2008 will
throw all local govern-
ments and Children's
Services Councils into a
tailspin.
Government has basi-
cally three responsibili-
ties to the public; Public
Safety, Education and
Human Services. When
they (government) are
faced with a crunch, they
do all they can to protect
Public Safety and Educa-
tion and guess where the
dollars come from?
Human Services. .
Many of our programs;
are collaborations with
city and county govern-
;ments such. as after-
school programs, pre-
,entionr programs and
school nurse programs.

From page A4
These in all likelihood
will be the first to be
reduced or eliminated
from the local govern-
ment budgets, with the,
anticipation that the
CSC will pick them up.
This will not necessarily
be the case, because the


CSC will also be reducing
its budget as well.
The statutory impact
for the Martin County
CSC looks minimal at
best and that is because
the Council has been
very diligent in its annu-
al budget preparation.


However,' the one with
the deepest impact will
be the January referen-
dum.
Q. What would you like
to see CSC accomplish
after your retirement?
A. The most important
thing I would like to see


accomplished is the hir-
ing of an executive direc-
tor with vision and the
fire in the belly to take
the council into the next
level, and 'encourage
increased collaboration
to bring out the best in
each agency, so all the


children of Martin Coun-
ty are served to the best
ability they can be.
Q. What are your plans-
for retirement?
A. Having recently pur-.
chased an RV, my wife
and I will be doing a lot
of traveling. This is a


beautiful country and
having seen some of it,
we want.to enjoy it all.
We'll revisit old places
and see new ones and
above all spend more
time with the grand-
child.

Immigration problems

Thank God the immigration bill was defeated.
However, as I sit reading the paper, I see that all of the
immigration reform groups are complaining that immi-
gration workers and their families are continuing to live
in fear.
These groups state that immigrants might die in the
desert, or be subjected to exploitation.
That isn't true. If they stayed home, and fixed their own
country, we wouldn't have this problem.
Come out of the dark, go home, and get out of my
country.

Thank God for sons who fight
against misguided mothers' sons
I am answering the rant, "There'd be no wars If mothers
had a say."
That philosophy is all well and: good except that some
mothers raise their children to be suicide bombers and
are proud to have their sons crash airplanes into build-
ings.
So thank God that some of our sons and daughters vol-
unteer to keep those misguided mothers' sons in check.

We live in real, not idyllic world

This letter is in response to the lady who shared with us
a part of a (song) "I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be a Soldier."
This lady's mindset is as outdated as the (song), which
she claims was written in 1915.
Just because she doesn't wish her boy or boys to serve
their country, it is obvious someone's boy has to do it.
I shared this article today with my dear mom, who is 88
years old., .
She said when she put her hand on my head, she said
she hoped that I would grow up to be a law-abiding,
decenthuman, .
She also told me as I left for the military," I support you
in what you are doing. Be careful and remember wherev-
er you go, your mother loves you."
It would be indeed an idyllic world if we didn't have to
fight battles, but we do.
There are people in this world who don't share our
ideals, but thankfully, ma'am, somebody else's boy will
carry the banner for our country.
It matters not how we feel about war or the desire to
protect our way of life, somebody else in this world is
willing to take this freedom from us.
And paraphrasing your words, "it will never be over,
over there."

No litter, dogs allowed on beaches

I agree with (the ranter) about the ships littering our
beaches, but I'd also like to add that ito i'inconsiderate
beachgoers, also who leave their picnl"r"ash'), cans and
bottles, and don't take stuff home with them.
They leave it on the beach for someone: elsetoqpiqk up,
(but there is) no one else is around to pivitup," ..
I'd also like to say that a lot of people se'. ot'b eing-
ing their dogs to the beach, some on leashes, niust
running around. ",
But maybe they don't know that dogs are n alled
on any beaches in Florida.

Editor's note: While it is true that most beaches in Flori-
da do not allow dogs, there are some that do. A list of these
beaches can be found at
www.floridapets.net/dogparks.htm and www.dogfriend-
ly.com/server/travel/guides/beach/beachstateFL.shtml.

Has U.S. been invaded by an armed force?

This concerns the illegal aliens in the U.S.
Since most illegals apparently enter the country
through the Southern border, would it be unreasonable
to consider the U.S. has having been invaded by an
armed force?
If only 10 percent of the estimated 12 million illegals in
the U.S. possess guns, would that be considered a slan-
derous question?


Let team owners build own arenas

I have a solution for lost revenue if the Homestead
Excemption is passed.
In fact, if the government used this idea they could eas-
ily reduce our property taxes.
Why don't they take the taxes on motel rooms and use it
for schools, parks, roads, etc. instead of building sports
arenas?
Let those team owners (who) pay multiple million dol-
lar salaries to the prima donnas of sports build their own
arenas.
Then the government could charge them property tax.
Disney, Universal, Sea World and Bush Gardens had no
tax money to build their facilities and they generate a lot
more revenue for the government than pro sports.
I'll never understand why the public pays teachers
$50,000 a year to teach people to become engineers
(who) make $100,000 a year to build stadiums inywhich a
high school dropout can make $10 million a year pitch-
ing a baseball 100 times a game every five days or come
to bat maybe five times a ball game to bat 300.
People, 300 is only three hits out of every 10 times he
comes to bat. That means seven out of 10 times he did
nothing.
Would you go to a heart or brain surgeon with that bat-
ting (percentage)?

Better parenting would
result in fewer lawbreakers

Laws are great, as long as we don't mind paying for the
convenience of their creation, enforcement and the lay-
ers of expensive, "qualified" people to carry them out.
How about we try this: Parental education, guidance,
training and discipline from the home to the existing
and next generation.
Would that (not so new idea) save a lot of money?

Placards a problem for enforcement

I just read the rant about disabled plates on cars when
the person using (it) is not disabled.
I, too, object, but the writer states that the disabled
individual's driver's license number is on the placard.
I checked the placard I got along with my plate. The
placard (does not) show my driver's license number.
There is no tie-in at all that I can see.
While those not ,disabled are taking advantage of a
friend or relative's placard or car with plate is a disgrace, I


can see no way that a police officer could tell.

Failure becoming 'American way'

The rant, "Bad mix for U.S. melting pot," has hit the
spot with me.
If we, the legal Americans in this country, can see this as
true, then why are our lawmakers so adamantly against
us?
I hear almost daily where President Bush has given
away millions in aid to world countries and how much
has been wasted in those countries.
The federal government has, in the last couple, years
disjoined itself from the social services programs in the
U.S. It is sending that responsibility down to the
states/counties and cities.
The Social Security system needs to be overhauled to
benefit only legal Americans not every foreigner who
works for us.
I feel the federal government isn't giving us the full pic-
ture.
They want our money but are unwilling to give us the
report card so we can make good judgments.
They continue to play on our sympathy to the plight of
a depressed people.
I have no pity left.
How do the legal Americans fight back?
It's easy.
Quit sending voter 99-cent text messages to shows like
"American Idol."
Quit sending your millions to the televangelist, min-
istries.
Take all that "gimme" money and blow it on yourselves.
Then ask the federal government how many illegal
aliens you can take off your income taxes at the end of
the year?
You paid for their food, medical care, housing, trans-
portation, schools, border patrol, jails, legal fees, farm
subsidies, etc.
Do not try and make ends meet, be upstanding or any
other of those true American values.
Allow yourselves to fail its becoming the "American
way."

Welcome immigrants as we have done in past

I regret seeing the churlish letters from individuals who
express their bitter attitude toward immigrants.
They are poisoning our American reputation as a free-
dom-loving and friendly people.
In the past, the Statue of Liberty stood as the emblem of
our open-door policy. I
A tide of Scots, Irish, Germans, Italians and others
responded, flooding in to enrich the mixture that is
America.
I scorn the divisive voices of those who would assert
their dubious superiority.
Let us welcome the newcomers as we have done before.
That was a win-win policy then; it is a win-win policy
now.

Give thanks to those who fight for our country
Kudos to the Republican response to the (Democratic)
ranters.
They give an awesome and correct reminder of facts
and truths of what has transpired in Iraq.
Americans have such a short memory and need to
(understand) that unless they want to battle our enemy
on our own soil we must continue the course.
This war'against terrorism will never be over and we
have to accept that and be thankful there are true patri-
ots willing to leave their families and comforts of home to


go and stand up for many unthankful Americans who
just don't get it.
I find it so sad as a Air Force wife of 29 years, (and no, he
is not a dummy, he earned his master's (degree) while
serving his country) that so many awesome, intelligent
young men and women are still willing to join our mili-
tary and serve our wonderful country.

Vote for Paul in 2008

The 2008 presidential election will be a defining
moment for our nation due to the candidacy of Rep. Ron
Paul.
Mr. Paul, who has been dubbed "Dr. No" (due to his
pure Constitutional voting record, and the fact he is an
obstetrician), is one of the few statesmen, as opposed to
politician, that exists in government.
(He) prescribes to an older school of conservatism that
is actually quite compatible with both conservatives and
liberals of the modern day.
(He) believes in a non-interventionist foreign policy
that would end policing the world, nation building, and
certainly get us out of Iraq.
Non-intervention sometimes gets misinterpreted for
isolationism, which is not the case.
(He) believes in the advice of our Founding Fathers,
which is to trade with other nations rather than bombing
them.
He has also won a number of the prestigious "Taxpay-
er's Best Friend" awards from the National Taxpayers
Union (www.NTU.org).
Dr. No has voted against the Iraq war, Patriot Act, REAL
ID Act, unbalanced budgets; congressional pay raises,
regulating the Internet and against all tax increases.
He is in favor of the free market, a modest foreign poli-
cy, sound money, and limited Constitutional govern-
ment.
Visit his Web site www.RonPaul2008.com or call (703)
248-9115.

Make 'em learn, speak English

To "Bad mix in the U.S. melting pot:" I agree with you
and others do, too.
My husband who is of Hispanic decent also agrees with
you. His primary language is Spanish. He also speaks flu-
ent English (intentionally).
He asks people who speak Spanish to him, "What coun-
try are you in?"
Some say, "Florida."
He corrects them and says, "No, you're in the United
States and we speak English. Please do so."
He says it in English and if they continue to speak in
Spanish, he ignores them.
When I am on the phone trying to get assistance, I have
encountered operators who speak "Spanglish," half
Spanish and half English. I ask (my husband) to help me
out. He says, "Nope, make them speak English."
We need to stop pandering to the Hispanics. We need to
stop patronizing companies that make you press "1" for
English.
If they don't like it enough to learn the language, go
home.
If you can't stop patronizing a company, such as Florida
Power & Light, write them a letter.
The point is it all comes down to money. Press "1" for
English dollars. Press "2" for Spanglish dollars.
They would learn the language if they knew after one
year if they had not learned a significant amount of Eng-
lish they would lose their food stamps, housing and
health care.
If I can't smoke in a bank, you should be able to speak
Spanish in the bank. Both in my opinion are pollution.

Atlas Mortgage Funding strives

to be your mortgage consultant


By RITA HART
Staff writer
HOBE SOUND Most
people interested in pur-
chasing or refinancing a
home understand that
banks offer interest-
only, fixed rate and
adjustable rate loans.
What they might not
realize, however, is that
there are hundreds of
programs available that
fall under the umbrella
of those typical loans.
Atlas Mortgage Fund-
ing, with tlhe approach of
a consultant, spends
time with each client
and asks thought-pro-
voking questions to
determine which pro-
gram will spit them best.
"We take the time to
ask questions that most


other banks or compa-
nies don't," said Keith
Chabot, owner of Atlas
Mortgage Company.
"I pride myself on
never having had a fore-
closure in eight years of
doing business," he said.
. Mr. Chabot said he and
his team of consultants
meet with clients to find
out what they really want
in a home.
To do that, they ask
prospective buyers what
is important to them as a
home buyer. For example,
they inquire as to what
kind of home the client is
interested in, or what
school district might be
important.
"People are so busy
with their lives. It's
important to give them
choices and enough
information so they
understand those choic-
es. We like to under-
promise and over-deliv-
er," said Mr. Chabot.
Some of those choices
include new construction
loans, second mortgages,
bridge loans, investment
properties, debt consoli-
dation, home improve-
ments, commercial loans,
interest-only power pay-
ment programs (with
rates as low as 1 percent)
and many more.
Mr. Chabot said the
company's Web site gives
a lot of information that
can help clients decide


what they want.
"We don't push rates or
closing costs on the Web
site because we need to
ask questions to find out
the program that is best
for them," he said.
Providing information
and options is important
to Mr. Chabot, who
offers seminars for first-
time buyers in Palm
Beach Gardens and
Orlando on a regular
basis. The seminars are
free.
"We are building a
business around people
who are open to dia-
logue and questions;
those who know what
they are looking for but
need guidance to get
there. We are open to
answering some tough
questions," said Mr.
Chabot.
Mr. Chabot said he and
his team don't discuss
rates or closing costs at
the first meeting.
Instead, they provide
options that might fit the
client's needs and give
them questions to
answer to help deter-
mine what those needs
are.
Mr. Chabot said his
clients are so satisfied
with Atlas Mortgage
Funding's services that
97 percent of clients
coming through their

With every loan that is
closed, Atlas Mortgage
Funding donates $250 to
a charity of the client's
choice. If the client does
not have a favorite chari-

an account from which
Atlas Mortgage Funding


makes an annual dona-
tion to a charity they
choose, which Mr.
Chabot said is often a

"If people are looking
for something different

now, but in those that don't,
lights are controlled by a
timer which is locked.
When needed, the combi-
nation to the lock is given
out to, for example, a Little
League coach.
Mr. Blankenship said this
is an inefficient controlling
system.
With a light control sys-
tem, which is operated
remotely and only used
when the park is reserved,
the lights are activated only
for the time period needed.
If added to all parks, the
total budget reduction is
$50,000.

Communitypools
The Parks and Recreation
Department currently pays
50 percent of operational
costs for community pools,
while the school district
pays the remaining 50 per-
cent. 0
Mr. Blankenship said if
the school swimming teams
are excluded from the num-
ber of people who use these
pools, less than 100 people
a month utilize the facili-
ties.
"So less than one percent
of the public will be affected
by the closing of the pools,"
he said.
However, Mr. Blanken-


-----


.; ....


ship said the school district
manages the pools.
"The school system
always has the option of
. raising their fees to keep the
pools open," he said.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $113,000.
School district
sharing other costs
"Right now there are
middle school sites used for
things such as physical edu-
cation classes, where the
Parks Department is com-
pletely responsible for
maintenance of these facili-
ties," said Mr. Blankenship.
"If the Parks Department
wasn't involved, the school
district would have to
maintain them anyway, so
why not cost-share with
them," he asked.
Mr. Blankenship pointed
out he has not yet discussed
this with the school district,
although he sent them a let-
ter on June 25 with the pro-
posal.
Cathy Brennan, public
information officer for Mar-
tin County School District,
said the district did receive
the letter.
"We are in the process of
getting it out to all of our
departments so that it can
be reviewed," said Ms.
Brennan.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $87,000.
Reduction of
custodial services
"We have contracts to
clean all restrooms in the
parks and beaches twice a
day," said Mr. Blankenship.
"We are proposing to
reduce that to once a day."
The total budget reduc-
tion is $44,500, i

Removal of paper towels
from restrooms
Some parks, such as
recreation centers that are
rented and are revenue-
generating facilities, already
have hand-dryers in the
restrooms.
However, in many other
parks they are not in place.
The budget proposal
includes the elimination of
paper towels from these
facilities.
Although Mr. Blanken-


ship said he hopes to have
hand-dryers installed in all
restrooms in the future,
there are, no immediate
plans to do so.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $8,000.

Payphones and
doggie bags
The proposed budget.lists
the elimination of all pay
phones and doggie bag sta-
tions from parks.
However, Mr. Blanken-
ship said he recently sent a
letter to Martin County vet-
erinarians and. pet stores,
asking for sponsorship of
doggie bag stations at a cost
of $1,000 for three years. In
exchange, a plaque would
be erected at the station
noting the sponsor. With
the sponsorship, the doggie
stations could remain.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $20,500.
Eliminate portable toilets
- Three parks in Martin
County currently have
portable toilets in place,
although one of those parks
also has a permanent rest-
room facility.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $8,000.

Eliminate wood
treatment of piers and
boardwalks
Mr. Blankenship said the
treatment has only been
used for three years, so the
long-term effect of elimi-
nating the treatment is not
known.
' "However, the way it -was
sold to us is if you don't treat
them regularly, they won't
last as long, so it gets down
to paying it now or paying it
later," he said.
The total budget reduc-
tion is $35,000.
In addition to those listed
here, other budget propos-
als include reductions in
level of service for contract-
ed tree service, aquatic veg-
etation control and fertil-
ization, as well as
reductions in overtime and
operational expenses.
Mr. Blankenship is con-
cerned about the proposed
reductions in budget, .and
their effect on the Parks and
Recreation system.
"Back in November, Mar-
tin County residents voted
to tax themselves half-a-
penny more to improve
their park system," he said.
"It's a Catch-22. How can
we do that with these kinds
of cuts? This is what makes
Martin County what it is.
The citizens have high
expectations of quality of
life issues here, and any-
thing we do to cut back on
the budget is going to affect
the public," he said.

reading," said Ms. Bren-
nan.
"In reading, J.D. Parker
made 47 percent instead
of 50 percent, so they were
penalized. That amounts
to only one student," she
said.
Dr. Wilcox said the dis-

news.
"I always feel it's a team ,
effort with classroom teach-
ers and administration, but
it takes support at all levels.
Our community has high

"Parents, the business

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers.

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't
I r .....- me, I should tell you that I don't profess
i- b- -:.me "holier than thou" car dealer who
'..1.: il.ays perfect for the past 38 years.
WVr,.n I look at some of my past advertising
Ian..i :aies tactics, I am not always proud.
Bui I have evolved as my customers have
ev.:..ed My customers' expectations, level
-.l education and sophistication are much
ihrgh- today. Your customers are no different.
r.1, ,ernarks are made sincerely and with a
p:,-a,. intent toward you and your custom-
cr i ir not trying to tell you
ho'w io run your business. I "Ayl/ CiI
.arn suggesting a change that
v.ii r.: iard both you and your expectati
cusi, _,m ,..rs.'


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 once wlin no surprises" And the word
spread My volume or car sales bogan 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
fOtiletS' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their hew
ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.,


Hello, smart shop-
pers. Today's
column is about
lunch at home or in
restaurants.
Many foods you would
think are low fat are not.
Pay attention to your
wraps. Think those flat
flour tortillas are lower in
fat and calories than
bread? Read the labels.
Many are high in fat and
some even contain lard.
Just because something is
made without leavening
does not mean it's low fat.
Take a look at bagels.
Low fat, right?
A smaller-size plain
bagel can have as few as
150 calories, while an egg
bagel and specialty bagels
are high in fat, cholesterol
and calories.
You're in trouble before
you put anything in them.
This part of the column
is especially written for
"Big A]," a sales represen-
tative at Hometown News
who really lives up to his
name.
While traveling to the
paper's fifth anniversary
party, I challenged him to
do something about his
weight.
His lovely wife is slim
and trim, and cooks
according to my advice.
It's when A] is out in the
field that fast lunches are
his choice, many times
because of time con-
straints.
F-e promised me he
would change immediate-
ly and I promised I would
check on him weekly.
The question: Can you
eathealthy and low fat in
fast food restaurants?
The answer is yes, but it
isn't always easy.
Subway is one of the
healthiest fast-food
restaurants. They have
low-fat mayonnaise and
most of their cold cuts are
turkey-based.


.1.


- s


A turkey, ham or roast
beef sub is lowest in fats
and heaping on the
veggies makes them filling
and satisfying.
Fish is a good thing,
right? Not when eating
out. Fried fish sandwiches
are higher in fat and
calories than a Whopper.
Tuna and chicken salads
are killer since they're
usually made with regular
mayonnaise.
Opt for a small ham-
burger and have tomatoes
and lettuce added.
Go easy on the ketchup
since it is high in sugar.
Grilled chicken sand-
wiches are a better choice
than fried.
When ordering salads
don't think they are a
healthier choice since the
dressing and added
ingredients can hike the
fat and calorie content to
your total day's amount.
Ask for the dressing on the
side and choose vinai-
grette. Lose the croutons,
cheese and chopped egg;
more fat, cholesterol and
calories.
Fries? Don't even think
about them. Frozen fries
have already been fried,
and when you re-fry them
at home you're getting
twice the fat. Just about all
restaurants use the frozen
choice.
' If I told you that each fry
has 10 calories would that
influence you?
How about if I told you
that frying a potato
releases a chemical called
acrylamide that is said by
soto be a carcinogen in
laboratory animals?
Yup, I think that did it.
Join Al in his quest for
good health and check in
with me. I sure would like
to know and to tell every-
one about you.

Now, let's talk about one

Safari in Kenya offers many areas

A after a long flight and

It began as we left the

Hills.
It's a unique place built
on stilts and shaped like
an ark. It also offers an
unusual evening program,
beginning with a nature
talk and ending with the
chance to see animals all
night long.
This is how it works.
If you want to wake up
when animals come to
drink at the hotel's water-
irng hole, you leave the
buzzer on in your room.
Mine rang twice that
night, when a family of
elephants arrived and
when a mother rhino and
her baby came to drink.
What a treat!
I'm not a morning
person, but somehow my
internal alarm clock was
working at dawn the next
day. As I opened my
window I saw a huge
elephant lumbering
along, framed by a gor-
geous orange and rasp-
berry sunrise. Thrilled at
my good fortune, I
grabbed my video and still
cameras and got some
great shots.
At breakfast, we all
talked about our exciting
night and how funny we
looked in our pajamas as
we watched the animals
at 2 a.m.
From the Ark, we headed
north to Samburu Nation-
al Park.
Crossing the equator
was a lesson in the mag-
netic pull of the earth. On
one side of the equator a,
matchstick in a bucket of
water turned clockwise
and on the other side it
turned counter-clockwise.
Was the complexity of
our earth really that
simple?
Then we traveled
through the dusty deserts
of Samburu to our lodge.,
After lunch we set out on
our first game drive.
Instantly our van was
surrounded by elephants,
giraffes, zebras, gazelles
and more. It was amazing.
My joy ended though,
when I heard a terrible
noise coming from my
video camera. In no time,
it went dead.
This was my very first
game drive in Kenya and
my video camera was now
broken?
After the shock wore off,
I had to accept my bad.


luck and be grateful I had
my still camera,
Of course, that after-
noon we saw hundreds of
animals, plus two chee-
tahs and a leopard, which
I now would never have
on video.
Our guide took pity on
me and said he might
know someone who could
fix my camera at our stop
two days later. I held out
little hope, however.
The next day was chock
full of animals once again,
from the moment we
drove along the beautiful
Ewaso Nyiro River to see
crocodiles and birds, until
we saw our last elephants
at sunset.
We also saw lions with
cubs, giraffes, zebra,
warthogs, oryx, topi and
the tiny dik-dik.
Only about 2-feet high,
these deer travel in pairs
and are so committed to
each other that when one
dies, the other dies soon
after.
We ended our day with a
great dinner and colorful
dances by the Samburu
tribesmen.
I wished I'd had it all on
film, of course.
After breakfast, we drove
to the Mount Kenya Safari
Club on the slopes of the
mountain. The actor
William Holden was one
of the founders of the
club.
It was refreshingly lush
after the deserts of Sam-
buru. Morning and
evening, it is a bird
watcher's paradise and a
great place for trekking.


SUSAN DREW
Travel columnist

The Kikuyu are the local
tribesmen and believe
Kenya's nature god actual-
ly resides in the mountain.
Each evening, the
Kikuyu perform their
tribal dances at the lodge
before dinner.
Once back at our rooms,
we were surprised to see
fires roaring in our fire-
places and hot water
bottles placed in our beds
to keep us warm.
The next day, my inter-
nal alarm clock was
working again.
As I grabbed mycamera
at dawn, I was treated to a
beautiful sunrise coming
up over the mountain.
Hundreds of birds began
to sing, but for me, the
best sight of all was our
guide holding my newly
repaired video camera.
A man in one of the
nearby villages had fixed it
and now I could film the
beauty of the morning to
my heart's content.
I must add that to this


day, I've never had to redo
the work he did. It taught
me to trust that even in
the most remote places,
people can work miracles.
So now I had my video
camera and I was ready
for the day ahead.
The lost footage could
never be replaced, but one
thing I knew for sure:
there is always be another
great shot and another
great adventure right
around the bend in Kenya.
Note: As you read this I'm
completing my sixth trip to
Kenya and attempting to
climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
A story will follow.

Bamboo' good for black thumbs


Everybody needs a
good luck charm,
and I can't think of a
better way to go then
with lucky bamboo.
These interesting


plants are extremely *
tough and surprisingly
easy to care for.
They do not require a
lot of light and can grow
in many places where


other plants will not
easily thrive, such as in a
bathroom.
The plant has only one
basic need: water.
The lucky bamboo is


actually not a bamboo at,
all. Its botanical name is
dracaena sanderana. It is
also known as the ribbon
plant.'
Many feng shui masters
recommend this plant,
because it can create a
space where you feel
energized and less
stressed.
Personally, I have one
in every room: on the
porch, another in the
kitchen and yet another
in my office. They do well
in almost any lighting
condition.
When I feel stressed
out from a hard day, I
often justlook at the
plant and think and it
almost always gives me a
feeling of comfort.
You can purchase lucky
bamboo in different
ways.
Sometimes you can
find them already potted
in all flavors of decora-
tive pots.
You can also purchase
them loose and buy your
own vase or pot.
If you use a vase to
display your plant,
simply keep the roots
covered with water.

JOE ZELENAK
Garden Nook

If you choose to plant
them in a small pot, buy
some small stones or
even marbles to place
around the plant to give
it stability. The rocks also
give the plant a nice
decorator look.
Taking care of lucky
bamboo is very simple
and worry-free.
Just keep the plant in
clean water. It is a good
idea to change the water
once a week or so.
If you have city water,
let the water stand for 24
hours before putting the
plant in it so the chlorine
has a chance to dissipate.
Better yet, use distilled
water. If you have a well,
the water is perfectly safe
as is.
You can add a diluted
water-soluble houseplant
fertilizer, but it is not
necessary.
Not only can these
plants bring you joy, they
also bring good cheer to
others in the form of
gifts.
You can create your
own themes for any


occasion simply by using
the appropriate contain-
er.
You can then add
ribbons, picks or any
other type of small object
to create something truly
special that will be
cherished for time to
come.
This week's garden tip:
If plant pests are eyeing
your prized plants, one
way to help ensure your
insecticide stays where
you spray it is to add a
spreader sticker to your
insecticide solution.
A spreader sticker
helps keep the spray on
the plant and makes it
harder for rain and your
sprinklers to wash it off.
This makes the solu-
tion more effective.
A very inexpensive way
to achieve this is to add a
small amount of mild
dish detergent or veg-
etable oil to your bug
juice before spraying.
You should never spray
your plants in the heat of
day, as the solution can
act like a small magnify-
ing glass and cause the
leaves to burn.
Next week: Beautify
your yard with a south-
ern magnolia tree.

From page A3
lisher and chief operat-
ing officer of Hometown
News.
"Steve had a lot of posi-


tive input in the meet-
ing. He showed good
direction and was
instrumental in bringing
this to closure," said Mr.
Sharkey.
The Sharkeys and Ms.
Cruz said they are all


very happy with the out-
come of the June 25
meeting.
"As I'm sure all of us
feel, we are just glad it's
over and we can do what
we started out to do,
which is be stewards of


Molly's house," said Mrs.
Sharkey.
The Sharkeys, who
recently held a rally in
downtown Stuart to gar-
ner support for their
efforts at remaining on
the board, wanted to


thank the public for that
support.
"I honestly feel that
without the public's sup-
port, this would have
dragged on for a long
time unnecessarily," said
Mrs. Sharkey. "Everyone


loved Molly and
embraced the mission of
this house. Everyone
was very passionate
about it. and without
them, we wouldn't be
able to do what we
needed to do," she said.

SHELLEY KOPPEL
Treasure Coast Scene


Theaters

unveil

season's

shows

The new entertain-
ment season is a few
months away, but
area community theaters
are already announcing
their upcoming seasons.
As always, comedies will
rule, but there are some
mysteries and musicals to
add to the mix. With the
wealth of talent on the
Treasure Coast, commu-
nity theater provides a

Jane Stratten. and her musical

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Jane Stratten's father,
Bob Munstedt, was
raised by an aunt in
Switzerland for 10 years
while his parents came
to the Untied States.
The lonely boy carved
puppets and when he
came to the United
States at 13, he brought
his talent with him.
Eventually he made a
.living as a puppeteer;
that career choice was


far from .his daughter
Jane's mind. When she
brings her Musical Pup-
pet Theater to the Hobe
Sound and Hoke
Libraries on July 14, you
and your kids will be
able to watch her con-
tinue a family tradition.
"I was too shy to try
out for plays," Ms. Strat-

in writing. I started
singing in bands .and

ed for children from pre-
school to third grade.
"The audience really fol-
lows it," she says. "They
identify with each puppet.
There's a new teddy bear
puppet that's so cute, but
he's afraid no one will like
him because he's different.,
Even the youngest children
know he needs a friend. It's a
great way to communicate.
When children see the
naughty-boy puppet;,' they're
indignant. They know he's
misbehaving."
While there is a message
behind the songs, Ms. Strat-

main goal is to entertain.

OINMI 8 ENTERTAINMENT


Interim president named at Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Chris Dzadovsky, named
interim president to
replace Darryl Bey at the
helm of the Fort Pierce
Jazz & Blues Society, calls
his task "daunting."
"Daryl's shoes are big
and impossible to fill," he
says. "He is the face of the
Jazz & Blues Society. It will
be a challenge to move
forward, but it's hard to
stay in a volunteer posi-
tion for so long."
Mr. Bey recently
resigned as president
after 10 years, citing the
need to devote more time
to his business. Mr.
Dzadovsky understands
that concern.
"Although the Jazz &
Blues Society is a volun-
teer organization, it runs
like a business," he says.
"It takes community
sponsors as well as volun-
teers. We'll have to mine


these sponsors and our
members. This year will
be more difficult with
budget cuts across the
board. The challenges are
to replace Darryl and
replace the lost funding
from city, county and
state sources. We need
everybody's help."
Mr. Dzadovsky, a 23-
year employee with U.S.
Airways, says that plans in
place will go forward.
"We are going to contin-
ue with the current sched-
ule of events and we'll be
developing some things
we hope to finalize in 30-
60 days," he says.
"We'll have a member-
ship drive in late Septem-
ber. We're searching for a
permanent program
director and new board
members to re-invigorate
the board. We are devel-
oping the organization so
that we can distribute the
workload. It will take 20
,people to do the workload


Darryl Bey has done."
Mr. Dzadovsky hopes to
continue the Society's
educational mission,
including the scholarship
program, and hopes to
partner with the school
district and other com-
munity partners, includ-
ing the Sunrise Theatre.
"We think the Sunrise
can be a great community
asset," he says. "We are
looking forward to work-
ing with (interim direc-
tor) JohnWilkes."
Mr. Dzadovsky is aware
of the fiscal realities fac-
ing any arts organization.
"2007 was an active sea-
son," he says. "It shows we
can continue to grow the
Society and make it an
asset. We will have to
shrink a bit. Our season
will not be as aggressive,
but the quality will be as
high as is expected by our
members and the com-
munity. We have to look at
our budget. We want to


manage the Jazz Society
as a good steward of cul-
tural affairs. We want to
bring quality and raise
funds."
The interim director
hopes that members of
the community, including
corporate sponsors, will
contact him to get
involved.
"If there are people out
there who believe in what
we do, we welcome your
phone call, your letter,
and, of course, your
check," he says.
"We are a sponsor and
donation-driven entity.
We want to create an
organization that will
develop over time to do
what Darryl did."

Zrls the season! Well, not
at season, but it is
the season to get
dunked into the pool with a
pocket full of electronics.
Nothing to be jolly about
there.
Once upon a time, not too
long ago, summer would roll
around along with pool
parties and general horsing
around, and inevitably
someone would get dunked
andit was usually no big
deal; lots of fun really.'
Maybe the contents of a
wallet would have to get
dried out or maybe a
wristwatch would get
ruined, but for the most
part, that type of horseplay
around the pool was pretty
benign.
Someone gets wet,.
everyone giggles and that's
that.
But now things are a
different, and that kind of
horseplay can be expensive,
really expensive depending
on just what happens to be
in the victim's pockets at the
time of the dunking.
Nowadays, it's not uncom-
mon for someone to be
carrying around about
$1,000 worth of electronics.
We have cell phones, MP3


$75 and some of them are
much more expensive.
Unless a particular device
is waterproof or water
resistant, adding water to
most electronics can
instantly spell trouble and
ruin a good pool party.
But I have some good
news.
Should you find yourself
the victim of a "push-in-the-
pool prankster" or maybe
accidentally took a spill in
the drink with your keys,
phone and MP3 player in
your pocket, things are not
necessarily an instant write
off.
There is a slight possibility
that your electronics can be
saved, provided you take
immediate steps to save
your stuff.
I can't stress it enough;
these steps have to be taken
immediately.
Unfortunately, if it's salt-
water, the odds of saving the
equipment drop dramati-
cally. You should still try, but
saltwater is especially bad
and the chances are slim.
How to save
a drenched device
First do not turn on the


device. Think of the on/off
switch on a wet device as
the "self destruct button." If
you turn on the device, the
water will short out every-
thing.
* Next immediately pull
out the batteries. This is
related to the previous step.
It is electricity mixed with
water that fries the device.
A device that gets wet with
no batteries or power to it
has a pretty good chance of
surviving.
Next, remove any covers,
hatches or panels that you
can, and place the device in
front of a fan for at least two
full days. An hour or two
won't do it. You want that
sucker to be completely dry
before you try to turn it on
again. Keep it in front of a
fan for a long, long time.
After it's completely dry,
(hold your breath) put in the
batteries and turn it on.
It's been my personal
experience that taking these
steps works a little more
than half the time, but the
steps have to be taken
immediately.

Live your life like there is no

a time. This is the way Mother
Nature lives. Passion for life,
along with your good nature,
are your most special gifts.
Feed the happiness by focus-

love. Do this and life will
surely go your way.
Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Set your sights high, stay
focused and live on the edge.
This keeps you in creative
rather than stressful tension.
You have recently come into
much new universal truth
because of, your tireless
efforts of self-mastery. Your


creative output is at an all
time high. Make intervals of
rest, regroup and march on.
Victory is assured.
Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
When you let your higher
nature'guide you, wiser deci-
sions are made. The lower
nature wants it all now. Quick
decisions aren't always the
best. These kinds of choices
are what every awakened
Capricornian desires most
when on the path of enlight-
enment. When your spirit is
high you are capable of very
high achievement
Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Let your co-workers know
how much you appreciate
them. Loyalty and support

to do everything, you know.
Give someone else the
responsibility and then the
glory when a good job is
done. This builds lasting love
and enthusiasm and a strong
sense of family not found
today in too many work-
places.
Pisces-Feb. 19-March20
Courage in the face of
adversity is one of your
strongest virtues. When the
chips are down you keep on
keeping on. Inner faith and
divine guidance always bring
you safely through the storms
of life. The moon now in

Different coping skills are needed


when dealing with chronic illness


Coping with chronic
illness is different
from dealing with a
medical crisis or short-term
problem.
Whether the condition
has to be monitored
frequently, as in diabetes, or
flares up as with lupus, a
diagnosis of a condition
that will not go away is
difficult to accept.
I was diagnosed with
lupus, an autoimmune
disease, in 2002, shortly
after we moved to Florida.
I felt, as many people do
who are diagnosed with a
condition that will not go
away, a sense of both shock
and relief.
The shock was in knowing
I had yet another illness.
The relief was in the
knowledge that many of the
symptoms I'd experienced
over the years were proba-
bly attributable to this one
thing that now had a name.
Instead of having a lot of
symptoms that meant
nothing, I had a recognize,
ble illness that could be
managed.
While shock and relief are
common emotions when
faced with a diagnosis of
illness, they are not the only
reactions.
Sometimes people go into
denial, pretending it isn't
true. In the short run, that
may help your brain and
emotions wrap themselves
around this new reality.,
However, it's important to
begin finding out what you
can about your condition
and what you need to know
to control and manage it.
If your primary care
physician is the one who
made the diagnosis, you
may want to request a
referral to a specialist who
treats many people with
your condition.
I see a rheumatologist
who specializes in diseases
of the joints and connective
tissue.
If you have diabetes, you


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
may want to see, an
endocrinologist and
perhaps a dietitian, to help
with food planning.
It's important that you put
together a team.
When you face a diagno-
sis of any illness, you feel a
loss of control. With a
chronic illness, there are
changes that will be there
for the rest of your life, and
that can be hard to accept.
There may be activities
you can't do as well as you
used to or foods you can no
longer eat.
With lupus, I had the
common symptom of
exhaustion, often with no
warning;
I had to plan my day to ,
allow for a lot of rest, and
learn that I would have to
say "no" to things I wanted
to do because I was just too
tired.
I learned to plan my days
so that I could do the things
I had to do and some of the
things I wanted to do. It was
an adjustment.
I have tried to find
creative ways to accommo-
date my limitations, such as
working from home and
taking frequent breaks.
A big part of coping is the
support of people around
you.
In addition to a medical
team, it's a help to find out
that you are not alone.
Support groups help you
meet and share experiences
with others who under-


stand what you're going
through.
Sometimes it helps to
remind yourself that others
may have an even harder
burden than you do; it may
put your own situation in
perspective.
However, if you find that it
depresses you, it's not the
right solution.
If you're not big on groups
and meetings, there are
often chat rooms online
that allow people to
communicate with each
other from home. Just
remember that other group
members are not experts
and check with your doctor
before changing any
medications or trying new
therapies.
If you find that you
remain depressed about
your illness, talk to your
doctor. Depression is not
uncommon in people with
chronic illness and help is
available.


Finally, I'd like to say a
word about disabled
parking. I have a sticker,
which I use when my joints
are very painful or I'm very
tired. I look perfectly
healthy.
Yes, people abuse the
disability parking stickers.
Please, though, don't
assume that because
someone looks fine, they
don't have a disability. I get
looks some time, and they
make me feel worse.
I'm sure others with
hidden disabilities feel the
same.
Be a little charitable and
be grateful it's not you with
the disability.

Be careful when leasing a car


I ust received a letter
and a follow-up
phone call from an
attorney who is repre-
senting a large group of
buyers from one dealer-
ship who he is alleging
was taken advantage of
by a South Florida car
dealer.
He and his clients are
readers of my column
and he was asking my
advice.
All of these buyers are
elderly. In fact, two have
died since the lawsuit
was filed. These buyers
paid huge p1 ofits to this
dealer, thousands of.
dollars more than an
average.profit on a new
car, which is typical y
under $2,000. These
senior citizens came in
to buy a car, but sales-
men convinced them
that leasing was a better
option because the. put

GETTING THAT MUCH
NEEDED SPARK
0 Vehicle manufacturers make,
Much of the fact that their
; products come equipped with
extended-life spark plugs Inat
can maintain a precise gap tor
100,000 miles. However before
you wait that long to replace
them, you shou.0 bear in mind
that plugs that hit the 80,000-
mile mark are four-fifths worn.
As the gap in the plug widens,
engine performance and gas
mileage begin to suffer. In
addition, spark plus that have
remained in place for tens of
thousands of miles have a
tendency to seize in the cylinder
head. Once this happens, it can
be a potentially costly job to
remove them. Since your
vehicle's spark plugs are going to
require replacement sometime,
better to do it sooner rather
than later.
There are many possible
causes to electrical problems in
your vehicle. It takes a trained
eye to effectively- diagnose
electrical issues. At ADVANTAGE

cians are experts, which allows

so few miles on their cars
(This is not true).
This lawyer told me
that, when he confronted
the owner of the dealer-
ship, he admitted to
making exorbitant
profits on his clients and
said, "It's all legal and
there is nothing you can
do about it." '
It's true that as we get
older, we drive less and
put fewer miles on our
cars. But that is not a
good reason to lease a
car instead of buying
one. A car with fewer
miles is worth more than
one with a lot of miles, all
things being equal. You
have an advantage
trading in a car that you
own with low mileage.
You will get a better
trade-in allowance on
your next purchase, or
you can sell it for more
with low miles.
In fact, you actually
have a bigger advantage
if you own a car with
extraordinarily low miles.
Leasing companies
typically allow 10,000 or
more miles per year, after
which they add charges
Sfor each mile you have
above that. If you put less
than 10,000 miles per -
year on your car, they
don't "pay" you any
money per mile. This
lower mileage advantage
goes to the leasing
company.
After this dealer had
given these customers a
false reason convincing
them to lease instead of
buy, he proceeded to get
as much cash from these
customers as he could
squeeze out of them.
If they were trading in a
car, he undervalued the
appraisal. He command-
ed large down payments
(down payments are not
normally necessary
when leasing) with the

excuse of "getting their
payments down to what
they could afford."
Remember that these
customers came into the
dealership with the
mindset of buying, not
leasing. They were
prepared to make down
payments, which are
usually necessary on a
purchase. They also had
monthly payments in
mind, based on purchas-
ing. When you make a
down payment on a lease
and end up with a
payment of about the
same amount as if you
purchased the car, you
are paying the dealer a
HUGE profit.
After making a down
payment and all of your
monthly payments on a
purchase, you own the
vehicle. After making a
similar down payment
and similar monthly
payments on a lease, you
own nothing. What
would have been equity
in your car of thousands
of dollars if you had
purchased, was convert-
ed to profit for the dealer
because you leased.
Don't get me wrong,
leasing is a viable alter-
*native to buying, but you
must carefully analyze
each option before you
commit to one or the,
other.
The best way to lease a
car is to "buy it first." I
don't mean that literally.
But you should get your
very best selling price on
a car even if you would
rather lease it. In past
columns, I have told you
how to get your best
price, Decide first on the
exact make, year, model
and equipment you
want.
Then, comparing
"apples to apples," get
prices from at least three
dealerships. Also, your
Internet price is usually
the lowest price. Don't be
fooled by "dealer fees."
Be sure you get an "out-
the-door" price plug tax
and tag only. Separate
the shopping of the price
on the car from your
trade-in. Get at least
three bids from other
dealers of the same make
to buy your trade-in.
Offer the dealer you
choose to buy your new
car from the right of first
refusal.
Now you have selected
the dealer with the best
price. Tell the dealer that
you have changed your
mind. You want to lease
the car, not buy it. Tell

him that you know that
when he calculates your
lease payment, he should
use your quoted price as
the "capitalized cost" on
the lease. This is the sum
which, when applying
the lease factor (interest
rate) and residual value
(what the lease car is
estimated to be worth at
the end of the lease),
gives you your monthly
payment.
All lease companies
also add something
called a "lease acquisi-
tion fee" as much as
$800. This is just like a
"dealer fee" and is profit
for the leasing company
and usually the dealer
gets a piece of it. You may
be able to negotiate that'
down, at least the dealer's
part of the profit.
Now, tell him how many
miles you typically drive'
and, if it's more than the
leasing company allows,
include that extra cost
into the lease so that you
have no "surprises" at the
end of the lease. Be sure
that the dealer gets
payments from several
leasing companies.
Different leasing compa-
nies offer different lease
factors and sometimes,
different residuals. Your
capitalized cost will
remain constant, but you
will choose the leasing
company with the
highest residual and
lowest lease factor, which
will result in the lowest
payment.
I have one final warning
about leasing. Just as a
dealer will mark up the
interest rate from the
bank when you finance a
car, a dealer will mark up
the lease factor (interest
cost) from the leasing
company.
. Be sure that that the
dealer has not done this
on your lease contract.
Agree to sign the lease
contract only if the dealer
will guarantee in writing
that he has not marked
up the lease factor that
the leasing company
charges.

Galleons lose to

World All-Stars


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
The Treasure Coast has
gone international.
Playing before an esti-
mated crowd of 500 fans
on June 30, the Treasure
Coast Galleons welcomed
a team of soccer all-stars
from around the world.
The first year semi-pro
club, based out of St. Lucie
County, fought hard, but
were unable to keep an
early lead, losing to the
World All-Stars, 3-1, at
Lawnwood Stadium in
Fort Pierce.
Galleons captain Pete
Marino, a former Major
League Soccer all-star and
United States national
team player, was able to
use his connections to
assemble the team of
retired veterans from
around Florida to come to
Fort Pierce and compete
against Treasure Coast.
The World All-Star team
included former MLS stars
Ian Bishop and Ivan
McKinley, South African
national team member
Mike Aurjulo, and US team


members Mark Chung and
Erick Eichmann.
"I either grew up with
these guys or played with
them somewhere," said
Marino. "But when every-
one gets on the field and
puts on the cleats you're
enemies. They were going
for me, I was going for
them; it was a fight for
sure. No one took the
game too lightly that's for
sure."
After playing to a 0-0 tie
in- the first half, the
Galleons opened the scor-
ing when Hanson
Woodruff (South Fork)
found the back of the net
in the 41st minute.
But that would be all
Treasure Coast would be
able to muster against the
scrappy veterans.
The World All-Stars went
on a 3-0 scoring clinic over
the next 30 minutes to
close out the game.
McKinley lobbed a ball
over the head of Galleons
goalie Ryszard Gorski in
the 73rd minute, Stuart

Hear ye, hear ye, in
case you have yet to
notice, summer is
here.
By the feel of things and
the look of my electric bill,
we're in for a hot one.
As a participant, your
main concern when
playing any sport should
be avoiding heat exhaus-
tion, stroke and dehydra-
tion.
Sweating is the most
significant way that the
body cools itself to main-
tain a safe and stable
temperature.
In humid climates, our
sweat doesn't evaporate
easily and our bodies don't
cool as efficiently as
possible. We sweat more
and need to consume
more fluids to help our
body stay cool and per-
form at its best.
It's important that youi
drink before you're thirsty.
You'll play much better

when you're not constant-
ly looking for the next
water cooler.
Sports drinks, such as
Gatorade, help replenish
your body with the fluids
and electrolytes it loses
while perspiring. These
drinks are also loaded
with carbohydrates that
provide the energy your
body needs.
Fruits are best for giving
you a boost of long-lasting
energy.
Candy bars provide
quick energy, but their
effects diminish just as
quickly.
Bananas, apples or
peaches are easy to carry
and eat.
Bananas also help
prevent the buildup of
cramp-causing lactic acid
in the muscles, a frequent
occurrence during exer-
cise.
The most important
concern for yourself and
your playing partners
should be avoiding heat
exhaustion or, even worse,
heat stroke.
There are many ways to
do that.
Always wear shorts and
light-colored shirts.
It may sound crazy, but
wearing an undershirt will
also help. The undershirt
helps get perspiration
away from your body
where it can evaporate
more quickly, helping the
cooling process.
If you feel too warm at
the turn, stop by the
clubhouse. gtab a cold
dr ink and soak up the air
conditioning.
While hats are great for
keeping the sun off your
head and face, they will
make you warmer. Your
body discharges most of
its heat through your
head.

ans anti coaches were dis-
appointed in the play of
the younger players.
"I think the guys took a
look .at so many good
players from the past,
from the NILS, and I think
they got a little bit intimi-
dated," said Galleons
head coach Gerry Schia-
vo. "'For their age and the
way they train, the atti-
tude wasn't right for the
game. They are losing
chances because these
are the next coaches of
the MLS and they are
going to be looking for
people. If they don't put
100, percent in this they
will never get there. We
are trying to make them
understand this."
The Galleons had num-
ber of opportunities to
add to the score through-
out the game, but were
unable to convert. The


best opportunity came in
the 51st minute when
Marino's shot. ricocheted
off a World All-Star
defender at the goal line.
The ball squirted to a
streaking Woodruff, but
the former Bulldog was
beat to the ball by the
goalie.
"Even though these
guys are world class play-
ers you can't give them
respect when you're on
the field," said Woodruff.
"You got to play them like
they're your average Joe. I
mean they're obviously
not, but when these guys
are on your back, you got
to give it all you got."
Treasure Coast will play
at the Space Coast Strik-
ers July 7, and will return
to Lawnwood Stadium to
host Palm Beach Pumas
in an exhibition match
July 11. The team's next
home FESL match will be
on July 12 against county
rival Port St. Lucie.
