But some areas
may see easing
of restrictions
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
MARTIN COUNTy -
Despite recent heavy rains,
the water levels of Lake
Okeechoibee remain at his-
toric lows, with the current
level approximately 4 feet
below average for this time
of year.
Martin and St. Lucie
counties are in the upper
East Coast of the South
Florida Water Management
District's service area.
Lake Okeecobee is a main
water source for parts of
Martin and St. Lucie coun-
ties. The lake is 730 square
miles, with a drainage basin
covering more than 4,600
square miles, and is the sec-
ond-largest freshwater lake
in the United States.


The record low level for
the lake was set in 2001,
when the level dropped to
8.97 feet. On July 6, the level
was 8.92 feet.
Linette Trabulsy is the
community outreach direc-
tor for the Martin and St.
Lucie Service Center, a divi-
sion of the South Water
Management District.
Mrs. Trabulsy said as of
July 6, the year-to-date rain-
fall for the upper East Coast
region is 7.48 inches, which
is .79 inches above average
for this time of year.
"Our governing board
members will meet on July
11, where a presentation on
current drought conditions
will be provided," said Mrs.
Trabulsy.
"Included in the presenta-
tion will be up-to-date
information on the indica-
tors used in determining
water restrictions. It is possi-
ble that areas that have
been receiving substantial
rain may see a temporary


easing of water restrictions.
The board is also consider-
ing water conservation
measures on a year-round
basis. If approved, it could
go into effect as early as Sep-
tember," she said.
The SFWMD recently
released updated informa-
tion regarding the current
drought in a question-and-
answer format.
Q: How can you still claim
there's a drought when my
lawn is green and it's raining
every day?
A: Central and northern
portions of the SFWMD,
which includes areas north
of Lake Okeechobee,
remain critically dry, as wet
season rains have been
highly localized over much
of the southern third of the
district.
Over the past 30 days, for
example, Lake Okeechobee, a
primary backup water supply
to five million south Floridi-
ans during the dry season,
received less than five inch-


'The board is also considering water conser-
vation measures on a year-round basis. If
approved, it could go into effect as early as
September."

Spokeswoman for South Water Management District


es of rain, while portions of
Miami-Dade and Broward
counties received more
than 12 inches over the
same period. In Central
Florida, this is still a
drought.
Q: When will the District
lift the restrictions?
A: It depends on rainfall,
Lake Okeechobee, water
levels in the regional system
and other factors.
Because this water short-
age is the most severe and
widespread since the 1930s,
weeks or even months of
constant rainfall will be
needed.
The district will continue


to monitor conditions daily,
and when they improve, the
SFWMD Governing Board
will make the decision to
modify restrictions.
The water, shortage will
end only when enough rain-
fall soaks into our under-
ground supplies and raises
the level of Lake Okee-
chobee.
One indicator of adequate
water supply is a water ele-
vation of 14 feet in Lake
Okeechobee, and computer
modeling currently suggests
there is only a 10 percent
chance the lake level will

Commissioners approve
Renar River Place concept

In a four to one vote on June 26, Martin County
Commissioners approved Renee and Arden Doss'
amended plans for Phase II of Renar River Place on
Indian River Drive in Jensen Beach, provided the
developers make a good faith, effort to obtain
approvals for development of the site by June 26,
2010.
If the approvals are not obtained by that date, or if
the county administrator determines a good faith
effort was not tnade to obtain the approvals by then,
and an arbitrator agrees, the county will have the
right to repurchase the site of that second phase.
Currently, Mr. and Mrs. Doss, acting as Renar
Development Company, plan six residences on the
site, as well as commercial space totaling 4,200
square feet and a performing arts theatre.
Voting to approve the contract amendment were
Commissioners Michael DiTerlizzi, Sarah Heard and
Susan Valliere, while Commissioner Lee Weberman
voted to repurchase the Phase II site because it was
not completed by the February deadline contained in
the developer's original contract.

Stuart woman's yard sale
turns into theft of valuables

Like many who are moving out of town, Mary Mon-
tore, 78, decided to have a yard sale before her move.
On June 11, during the sale, Ms. Montore was
approached by two women who offered to sell her valu-
ables on eBay for her. Those items included jewelry,
watches, books and other items. Ms. Montore agreed.
The following week, one of the woman contacted Ms.
Montone by phone, leaving a contact number and telling
her that one of her watches would be sold for $55.
When Ms. Montone tried to call the contact number
back, a recording told her the number had been discon-
nected. At that point, she reported the incident to the
Martin County Sheriff's Office.
The estimated total value of the items is $3,000.

Stuart man reportedly beaten over lack of tip

Elswood A. Chaffey treated his employees to a night on
the town on July 3 via a limo ride. However, the experi-
ence ended badly when Mr. Chaffey, the last one to be
dropped off by the limo driver at the end of the night,
was allegedly beaten by the driver and the driver's friend
for refusing to leave a $120 tip.
According to a Martin County Sheriffs report, the driv-
er demanded the tip, but Mr. Chaffey refused to pay it,
insisting it was part of the fee for the vehicle's rental.
As Mr. Chaffey attempted to walk into his home in
Mariner Cay, the men, unidentified at press time,
allegedly punched and kicked Mr. Chaffey, stealing his
wallet and a digital camera in the process. The two men
then reportedly fled the scene in the limo.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office was continuing
their investigation of the incident at press time.

Platinum
The platinum group met-
als comprise six closely
related metals: Platinum,
Palladium, Rhodium,
Ruthenium, Iridium and
Osmium.
Platinum (symbol PI) was
accepted as a precious,
metal only after the sec-
ond half of 19th century
and has a deep luster and
a rich, white color. It is rarer
and heavier than all pre-
cious metals and consid-
ered to be more valuable
than gold.
Platinum is often used to
set the most valuable
gems to produce the
finest jewelry
Platinum holds gem-
stones most securely,
because its strength and
neutral color enhances
the orili.ince and depth
of cai:irmonr.i; Jrd precious

"The program is what
you make of it. One that I
was involved with was
working on a boat in Mar-
tin County, and the other
involved a dive shop that
allowed us to do a lot of
scuba diving," said Mr.
Porch, a certified diver.
"The Venture program is
year-round and most kids
stay in it for-their entire
high school years," he
said.
As for that resume, it's
easy to see why the Gulf
Stream Council wanted
Mr. Porch to be on their
team. The following is
just a sampling of his aca-
demic and scouting
accomplishments:

join the board of the non-
profit organization in 2004,
he did so with the under-
standing that it would be
temporary. He was then
asked to serve as interim
chief executive officer until a
replacement could be
found. Six weeks later, the
Board asked him to stay on
permanently as CEO and
president.
By 2006, Big Brothers and
Big Sisters of Martin County
had risen from a rank of 429
out of 450 such agencies
nationwide, to being one of
the top 35 agencies in the
country, with a 22 percent
increase in revenue. Their
grades for site visits also
rose, from Ds and Fs to
straight As across the board.
"Whoever believes they
do something like this
themselves is foolish," said
Mt. Bee, a former Wall Street
executive before moving to
Martin County in 2003.
Beth Morgan is the south-
east regional director of Big
Brothers Big Sisters and
oversees the Martin County
chapter.
"He and his team and his
board have done a remark-
able job of turning that
agency around. They are
very well-positioned in the
community they serve," she
said.
Rather than speaking
about the award bestowed
upon him by his peers
across the country, Mr. Bee
would much rather talk
about the other honors
bestowed on his .agency at
the national awards cere-
mony.
In fact, when being con-.
gratulated about his own
award, he said, "Did I tell
you my wife, Maria Silvia,
was named 'Nurse of the.
Year' recently? She was cho-
sen from a field of over 700
nurses."
Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Martin County was one of
three finalists vying for the
'Agency of the Year" award.
Although that award went to
another agency, they did
receive a plaque honoring
them as one of the 35 best
performing agencies in the
country in all areas of busi-
ness, program performance
and compliance. Over 450,
other agencies were com-
peting for these awards, and
more than 1,000 people
attended the conference in
Arizona.
Mr. Bee credits Martin
County volunteers, busi-
nesses and his own staff for
this success.
"We couldn't have done
this without the whole com-
munity," said Mr. Bee. "For
them to donate their time to
be a role model for children
is spectacular," he said.
Mr. Bee wondered about
where the agency will go
from here.
"Being an optimist, I
believe this offers us the
opportunity to construc-
tively build more visibility, a
greater base of mentors ana
enhanced funding opportu-
nities," said Mr. Bee.
"We can really use men-
tors and have a longer lega-
cy by having a positive
impact on a child," he said.

Got something to say?

Call the Hometown Rants & Raves line at

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

Are property taxes equitable?

Attention Jeff Furst, Property Appraiser of St. Lucie
County.
How is it that Tiger Woods' property in Martin
County appraised at $2,696,800 paid only $16,443 in
property taxes in 2006?
In St. Lucie County, a home appraised at this
amount would be taxed-more than twice that amount.
Maybe we all should become multi-million dollar
pro-golfers, and move to Martin County.
Or maybe, Mr. Furst could save us hundreds and
hundreds of dollars in taxes on our homes here in St.
Lucie County.
Are multi-million dollar people of fame given spe-
cial consideration in their property taxes, or is Martin
County more fair when assessing/taxing people's
homes?
One wonders for how much the Woods' home was
insured. Perhaps the figures were wrong in the article
written about the fire in Tiger Woods beach house.

David Goode, religion columnist

This is a rave.
Recently someone wrote into the Stuart edition of
your paper to rave about David Goode's column.
How ironic. His column does not appear in the Stu-
art edition.
Maybe this should be a heads up. I feel that adding
his column would be a nice addition to your Stuart
paper.
I, for one, would enjoy reading him on a more regular
basis.
You see, I live in Stuart. I have to get a copy of the Port
St. Lucie paper to read his column.
Please put this under consideration.'

Editors note: We do run Mri Goode's column in the
Martin County edition of the Hometown News from time
to time when space and content dictate. His columns can

Driver's license problem

I'd like to complain about driver's licenses.
They are broken down into six-year periods.
It is very unfair.
On one occasion, I was sent away from my waterfont
home to stay in NewYork while a storm was raging here.
I drove to NewYork.
While I was there, my driver's license expired on my
birthday.
On the way back I tried to stop to have my license
extended, which I have done in the past, but all of the
motor vehicle bureaus had been closed because of the
storms.
When I reached my home, the motor vehicle bureau
there was closed too. Therefore, I could not extend my
license.
My license was suspended, illegally, for no reason,
through no fault of my own.
I realize that. a license to drive is a privilege. I have
been driving for 80 years, and have never had any trou-
ble having my license extended because my record was
always accident free.
All of a sudden, I am left here without a license.
I reapplied for my license when the motor vehicle
bureau was reopened.
They have changed their policy in some way or
another. My age is being used against me to try not to
renew my license, which is unfair, and illegal. It
oppresses me terribly.
This is something which is entirely unfair, and unjust.
I am living alone in my destroyed home destroyed
in the hurricane. I am now confined to my home with-
out a license. I find it a lot a trouble continuing to live
here, feed myself, go to church, and go to the library.
This handicaps my very badly.
I think there is something wrong with a system that
takes away one's privilege to drive, and proceeds to
handicap them.

There is no problem with immigrants

In regard t6 the ranter who regrets seeing all of the
churlish letters from people with dubious superiority,
you sound like one of those pseudo intellectuals that do
not live in the real world.
True, the Scotch. Irish, Germans, and Italians immi-
grated to this great country, but they did Ois legally.
They were documented and checked to see if they

were bringing in contagious diseases.
They didn't demand free housing, free food stamps,
free medical, and so on.
Most Americans have no problem with immigrants.
It is the word "illegal" in front of the word immigrants,
that bothers them.

is this the direction you want to go?

I would like to ask moderate Republicans to look at
what their administration is doing, and in what direc-
tion this country is going.
I would like them to think if this is where their heart
really lies, with the Republican Party
If it isn't, the democrats will welcome you with open
arms, as well as independence.
We are asking people to look into their hearts, not to
look to Washington, but into their own hearts, and ask
themselves if this is really the direction in which they
want their country to go.
If not, please join us, the democrats, since we want to
take back America.

Put the fence up

Michael Chertoff, of Homeland Security where's
our fence? / ..... .. . ,
We Americans want illegal immigrants out, and a
fence put up.
Just look at what is going on in Glasgow, Scotland. Do
you want it to start happening here?
Put the fence up.

Not everyone is an immigrant

This is in response to an item regarding the bad mix
for the U.S. melting pot.
I truthfully take offense when people write in and say,
"All United States citizens are a product of immigra-
tion."
I know for a fact that my husband and I are not prod-
ucts of immigration.
Not all United States citizens are a product of immi-
gration.
My husband's grandmother was a full-blooded
Cherokee Indian.
My grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian.
Both of our grandparents married Indians. Believe it
or not, we did not have immigration in our family.
Please, please do not assume that all \United Stated
citizens are a product of iiinigration.
I take a real offense to that.
Incidentally, my husband is a three-generation
Floridian, born and raised right here on the East Coast.

Late paper

My rant is about receiving the Hometown News on
Monday morning, when the paper is dated the previous
Friday.
I'd like to know why it is that I go a couple of months
without getting the paper, and then when I do get it,
instead of getting it on a Friday, I get it on a Monday.
1 Receiving it late means that I have now missed every-
thing that went on during the weekend.
My rave is that I love your paper.

America is my "house"

Some people ha e trouble seeing how personal it is
for those who care about our country to have its border


raped over a million times a year. -
So, this will break it down from the national level to a
smaller level to better understand.
Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when
you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all the beds, washed the dishes, did
the laundry, and swept the floors. I've done all the
things you don't like to do.
I'm hard working and honest, except for when I broke
into your house.
According to the protesters, not only must you let me
stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan,
educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and
to my family. My husband will do your yard work
because he, too, is hard working and honest, except for
that breaking in part.
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call
my friends who will picket your house carrying signs
that proclaim my right to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house
than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself.
I'm hard working and honest, um, except for well, you
know.
And what a deal it is for me. I live in your house, con-
tributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and
there is nothing you can do about it without being
accused of selfishness, racism, prejudice and being an
anti-housebreaker.
Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so'you
can communicate with me, and if you have things in
your house without my language, well, you're a dirty
racist and me and my friends and signs will come picket
ou side you r door denouncing you for being so terrible.
America is my big house, so illegals, get the hell out of
my living room.
If you want to be here so badly, ring the doorbell
(apply for citizenship) and get permission (visas and
citizenship, for those confused) first.

Money for fireworks

I read in the papers this week about how the commu-
nities along the coast of Florida were worried about
how they were going to get enough money to have
their fireworks displays, -
I don't know why they just don't cut the displays in
half? Instead of $10,000. why don't they spend $5,b00,
and just have a smaller display?
I remember years ago, when I would take my son to
the fireworks, he would fall asleep before it was over
anyway. It seems like it was always little too long for
the kids. .
People would wait for the big finale, and the kids
would already be asleep, or starting to get cranky.
Iust do half as much, people will enjoy it just as
much.

Not all prices that go up will go down

We've all complained about the gas prices, but now
they have come down a bit, and it is not quite so bad.
But, how about the grocery prices? They have gone.
up, and they don't come back down.
Today when I shopped, things that were $1.99 are
now $2.39.
The things that were $1.79 are now $1.99.,Every-
thing seems to jump from 15 cents to 20 cents, not 5
cents, or 10 cents.
I don't know what we are going to do about it,'but it
just keeps going'up.

From page A6
The only thing I saw in the whole store that did not
go up was bananas, at 49 cents a pound.
I just don't understand it. It is getting to be too
much.
Even the paper goods are up. Things that were
$1.99 are now $2.39.
I certainly didn't have much pleasure shopping
today.

Maybe she should be quiet

I was just watching Hilary Clinton on television.
She was bashing the president because he made the
pardon of Mr. Libby.
I'd like for her to remember that while she was "co-
president," a pardon was issued to (fugitive) Marc
Rich.
I do believe that she ought to keep her big mouth
shut. I say that because Mrs. Clinton has too many
ghosts and skeletons in her closet
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Read before you vote

This is an appeal to every American voter; it has no
politically based agenda.
Please read before you make up your mind before
you decide whom you will be voting for.
Please read the "Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rod-
ham). Clinton," by Bay Buchanan.
I believe the American people should be familiar
with a person's professional background.
This book, without my going into any detail, is an
eye opener, and, in my opinion, should be read by
every American voter.
I'm not going to give my personal thoughts on it. I
just have an appeal that this book be read before any-
one presses the lever.

Cell phone abusers also
abuse driving privileges.

Most of us have experienced and complained about
the dangers of those driving while gabbing away on
their cell phones.
Have you noticed how the same is true while shop-
pers pilot their carts through department and food
store aisles?
It's downright risky business just to go for milk and
bread these days much less into a gym and locker
room.
I With my apologies to the female gender, my humble
experience as a former crossing guard, pedestrian,
current driver (both a car and scooter) and bicyclist
indicate women abuse cell phones way more than
men.
And, I have yet to inadvertently hear any conversa-
tion that was of an urgent nature.
By the way, I'm also using the assumption that most
of these abusers figure motor vehicles and shopping
carts are on automatic.

Local woman just wants some respect

Here is a description of the local native woman.
She awakes at dawn and neatens up the house,

cleans the kitchen and the toilets, readies the food
preparation for breakfast, then hops on herbicycle for
a 5-mile ride. /
She then showers and takes a stroll around the
block a couple of times while you are still asleep.
She screens your calls, makes appointments, follows
up on family obligations, sends cards and letters, e-
mails friends, and takes time to send a note to Rants &
Raves. *
She fixes your three meals a day, tastier than any-
thing you can buy at any restaurant. She cleans up
after the meal, then helps you with your work.
She manages and supervises family affairs and
upcoming events. She keeps the calendar and
reminds you of planned appointments.
She does landscaping, gardening, dog-walking, and
returns phone calls as needed.
Do you ever stop to evaluate the true value of this
woman?
I hope some men who have good women are read-
ing this now.
It is time we get some respect!

Why can't lowering property taxes be easy?
I guess I'm missing something, and I hope someone
can fill in the blanks for me.
There are two factors in determining how much you
pay in property taxes, the value of your home and the
mileage rate.
It's simple math, home value times the county
assessed mileage rate equals the taxes you owe.
The state can cap, reduce, or give me a super home-
stead exemption, but if nothing is done to cap
mileage rates, it means nothing.
Am I missing something?
What keeps the county from increasing the mileage
rates to cover any losses they incur from the from this
new law?
Why can't they just do something simple'?
Since everyone one uses the same services, I really
don't understand what property value has to do with it
anyway. I think everyone should all pa'y a flat rate, say
$2,500 a year and then increase thp sales tax by 2.5
cents.
Why does everything have to be so complicated and
accomplish nothing?
My property taxes were $8,700 dollars last year, and
I'll bet in two years it'll be more.
I just don't see what this new -law or amendment
accomplishes.
Editor's note: The state mandated tax rollback refers
specifically to millage rates and includes limits to
raising these rates above the Consumer Price Index,
or inflation rate, which is estimated at around 3 per-
cent annually.
The super homestead exemption lowers the
"assessed" value of the property, which in some cases
will result in lower tax bills. Non-homestead or com-
mercial properties will not be affected by the "super-
exemptions."

Road tolls may take toll on drivers

Most folks missed one of the year's biggest news sto-
ries of the 2007 legislative session.
There was so much hype and hysteria being spoon
fed (to) the public regarding so-called tax reform, it
seems the media found very little space for a huge
story with wide and long lasting consequences.
On June 21, the Associated Press reported that Gov.
(Charlie) Crist announced he had signed a bill allow-
ing private companies to build and/or operate toll

roads in Florida.
The bill also allows for automatic toll increases. The
only exception is Florida's Turnpike, which will
remain in the state's hands.
No mention was made regarding who bears the
responsibility for highway maintenance.
Also missing was whether Florida granted a private
company eminent domain ability as was granted in
Texas or whether a no-compete agreement will be
given.
Florida now joins about 20 other states that are lick-
ing their chops to unload what taxpayers have spent
bazillions of dollars building. Not to mention the
thousands of folks who have lost their property and
homes over the years to state eminent domain tak-
ings.
But not to worry, privatizing and tolling our high-
ways really isn't about money; it's for our own good,
we're told.
After all, it will save on taxes.
The Florida Department of Transportation is one of
the largest employers in the state. Some doubting
Thomases don't believe for one minute there will be
any reduction in that department's budget or reduc-
tion of staff.
Now you may wonder who could afford taking over
state's highways and building new ones.
Indiana leased (its) Indiana Toll Road to a foreign
consortium, Cintra-MIG. Cintra is a Spanish con-
struction firm and MIG is the Australian Macquarie
Infrastructure Group.
Indiana will be paid $3.8 billion for leasing 157
miles over a 75-year period (Bloomberg.com Jan. 25,
2006, Chicagoist.com). Oh yes, the new toll takers can
raise the toll and some early estimates are the consor-
tium will ultimately profit around $12 billion
(Chicagoist.com). Chicago's earlier lease of the Chica-
go Skyway (7.8 miles) for $1.8 billion seems paltry, by
comparison (Heartland Institute, march 2005).
There are other companies, mostly foreign, lining
up for the profiteering of public properties.
One thing you can be certain of is there is a fortune
to be made.
Privatizing our transportation systems and making
them toll roads is just another tax.
For whom does the toll toll?
You got it, you and me.

Never know what to expect
from distracted drivers

Never assume anything.
As I was driving down the road, I heard a person raving,
screaming, crying and yelling.
I looked around wond wondering what was happening.
I saw in my rearview mirror, a woman driving behind
me Waving her arms. I assumed she was in trouble, and I
immediately pulled over and stopped so she could pass
me.
As she passed by, I assumed she was on a cell phone or
listening to her radio/stereo.
She was not.
She was alone.
She was not drinking, eating, smoking, crying, singing
(or) laughing, (nor) was there a dog in her lap licking her
chin.
I assumed this woman was steering with her elbows
because she had her Bible open and spread across the
steering wheel. While she was reading, she was scream-
ing, raving and waving her arms.
Now folks, at my age, I assumed I had seen every-
thing.
I assumed wrong.

Financing education:
The Census Bureau reports
that, on average, college

loan is one of the most
affordable ways around to
finance that education.
Don't forget hurricane

against your home's equity
to prepare your home for
the upcoming storm

Home Equity Line Of
Credit: This pay-as-you-go
option lets you "borrow"
cash as you need it up to
a preset limit. During the
draw period, you only pay
interest on the portion of
the equity line you have
used.
The rates are usually
variable, changing with an
index rate such as the
Prime Rate, but are typical-
ly lower than credit cards
or other installment loans.
You'll also want to find out
how long your draw period
lasts, and what happens to
any outstanding balance
when the draw period
ends.
You may also have the
option to lower your
minimum monthly
payment with interest-
only payments during the
draw period. This can be a
good choice if your income
varies from month to
month. Be aware though,
you'll have to discipline
yourself to make payments
on the principal on your
own, or face paying the
entire amount when the
loan matures.

you'll receive one lump
sum and start making
payments immediately on
the entire amount. If you
choose a fixed rate loan,
you'll know in advance
what your payments will
be for the term of the loan.
Or, you can choose a
variable rate loan with a
lower initial rate; just be
sure you know how often
your lender can adjust the
rate over the term of the
loan.
Beware of loans offering
extremely low payments or
interest rates. The terms
that make the loan afford-
able now may be short-
term incentives that will be
quickly replaced by higher
interest rates and pay-
ments. Be sure to ask
about prepayment penal-
ties and other costs for
obtaining credit.
Whichever option you
choose, be sure to.ask your
bank about automatic
payments. You may qualify
for a lower interest rate
and protect yourself from
missed payments and late
fees. Remember, with
smart borrowing, the
equity in your home can
pave the way to your
dreams.

Drought
From page Al
climb to this elevation by the
end of the current wet sea-
son.
Q: Why are lower Lake
Okeechobee levels a con-
cern?
A: It is a constant and deli-
cate balance: water supply
for people and the needs of
the environment.
Low water levels do bene-
fit the lake ecosystem; for
example, submerged aquat-
ic vegetation receives more
sunlight and thus tends to
thrive, rejuvenating fish and
wildlife habitats and
improving the ecology of the
lake.
Habitat recovery efforts
are underway to remove
harmful muck layers from
the exposed lakebed. How-
ever, water levels that are too
low can be detrimental and
cause unwanted drying of
critical areas.
(Note: Muck recently
removed from Lake Okee-
chobee was found to have
pesticides and other chemi-
cals, as well as elevated lev-
els of arsenic. The SFWMD is
currently evaluating how
and where the muck will be
disposed.)
Q: What will it take for
Lake Okeechobee's water
levels to rise again?
A: The water level in Lake
Okeechobee remains
extremelylowfor this time of
year, and it will take above
average rainfall on and
directly to the north of the
lake to replenish the lake to
normal levels.
SFWMD meteorologists
anticipate that it may be
more than a month before
flows into Lake Okeechobee
from the Kissimmee Water-
shed are reestablished. No
prediction can be made at
this time as to precisely
when the lake's water levels
will return to their normal
elevations.
Q: What is the minimum
water level Lake Okee-
chobee must reach before
we can end water restric-
tions?
A: That is hard to tell. A
variety of factors, not just the
lake level, will be used to
determine, modifications to
current water restrictions;
these, include rainfall,
groundwater levels, other
surface water levels, soil
moisture levels and salinity
levels in coastal well fields.
Water levels in Lake Okee-
chobee are approximately
four feet below their historic
average for this time of year.
The levels will need to rise
appreciably before any end
to water restrictions can be
declared.
Q: Why did you drain the
lake lastyear? .:.
A: The Army Corps of
Engineers, which is respon-
sible for managing water
levels in the lake, relies on
the best, most current infor-
mation available to guide
water management deci-
sions; this includes long-
term weather predictions
from the National Weather
Service and others.
Water discharges were
made from Lake Okee-
chobee during the summer
of 2006, in anticipation of
what was expected to be a
very active hurricane season
and in accordance with a
complex regulation sched-
ule, which helps direct water
management decisions at
specific water elevations and
times of year. These resulted
in a water level reduction of
perhaps 1.5 feet over the
course of several months.


The Army Corps of Engi-
neers made these decisions
in light of concerns over the
structural integrity of the
Herbert Hoover Dike and
the serious flooding threat
that high lake levels pose to
communities around the
lake. The same occurred
prior to the active hurricane
seasons of 2004 and 2005.
Should a storm of even
moderate magnitude dam-
age the dike when water
stages are high, communi-
ties like Clewiston, Pahokee
and Belle Glade could expe-
rience catastrophic flooding.
As a matter of public safety,
the lake cannot be managed
at high elevations during the
wet season, and even if no
discharges had been made,
we would still be in a severe,
long-term drought and sub-
sequent water shortage.
Q: Why are water restric-
tions in Martin and St. Lucie
counties lower than they are
in Palm Beach and Broward
Counties?
A: Geologically, the Martin
and St. Lucie County Service
Area is different; residents
here rely on different
sources of water. These
counties also house fewer
residents. Thus, the stresses
on local resources are differ-
ent, and in extreme weather
events, such as heavy rains
or droughts, the resources
here will respond differently
relative to other areas of the
district. All told, the SFWMD
is comprised of five geologi-
cally unique service areas.
Q: Are there any other
long-range plans to address
water supply?
A: Yes. The district is
proactively working with
local communities to devel-
op and fund alternative
water supply sources.
South Florida residents
now number more than
seven million, placing a
huge demand on the
region's water resources.
Despite excellent freshwater
sources, South Florida's
water supply is not unlimit-
ed, especially given limited
storage.
Alternative water supply
projects such as reverse
osmosis, aquifer storage and
recovery and reclaimed
water use, help create new
sources to meet our long-
term needs and water con-
servation stretches our exist-
ing supply.
Communities large and
small are encouraged to
explore. alternative water
supplies and to apply for
funding assistance.
The district, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, local
governments and others are
also implementing the
Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan (CERP).

Due to the current drought, Lake Okeechobee is approximately 4 feet below average for


this time of year.
This is a monumental plan
with 68 project components
to build and manage a more
efficient system that can
capture and store water that
is now lost to sea. The proj-
ect will help to restore the
Everglades and replenish
water supplies for the envi-
ronment and economy.
The district has already
jump-started eight CERP
projects under its Acceler8
Everglades restoration ini-
tiative, including three key
storage reservoirs. For more
information, visit www.
evergladesnow.org.
Q: My water doesn't come
from a utility. It's pumped
from my local lake, canal, or
my private well. Do I need to
follow restrictions?
A: In most cases, no mat-
ter where your water comes
from, water restrictions
apply to you. This is because
surface and groundwater
are interconnected. Water in
lakes and canals helps to
protect private and public
wells from saltwater intru-
sion, and helps store rainfall
to recharge groundwater
resources including small
wells and large aquifers.


One hundred percent
reclaimed water, or water
reclaimed from water
sewage treatment plants, is
one of very few uses not
restricted. Reclaimed water
is water that at one time
would have been flushed
away. It is heavily treated,
not meant for drinking and
used almost exclusively for
irrigation.
Q: What is saltwater intru-
sion and why should I care
about it?
A: Saltwater intrusion is a
natural process that occurs
in virtually all coastal areas,
and involves the encroach-
ment of saltwater from the
sea flowing inland, into
freshwater aquifers.
Coastal wells are the most
vulnerable to contamina-
tion by saltwater. When too
much invades wells or
aquifers, they may become
unusable.
In South Florida, we rely
on our aquifers for a sub-
stantial portion of our
regional water supply,. and
the salt and other sub-
stances carried by seawater
are a huge detriment.
The SFWMD resists salt-


water intrusion by main-
taining prescribed levels of
freshwater in the system and
by making appropriate
freshwater discharges via
our canal system..
Thus, by helping to keep
more water in the system,
this year's water use restric-
tions actually help reduce
the detrimental impacts of
saltwater intrusion on our
water supply resources.
Area residents should
also be concerned about
saltwater intrusion
because it could eventually
hit them in their pocket-
books. When utilities must
pay for necessary upgrades
and facilities to treat salt-
water before it is deemed
safe to drink, they must
pass those costs to con-
sumers.

STAT
Poor gas mileage may be due
to any number of causes, includ-
ing an engine cooling system that
is malfunctioning. This has to do
with the fact that the fuel system
supplies a "rich" fuel mixture
(more gasoline) when the engine
is cold. As the engine warms up,
a leaner mixture is sent into the
combustion chamber, resulting in
more economical engine opera-
tion. However, if the fuel system
does .not know that the engine is
warmed up and continues to pro-
duce an overly rich gasoline mix-
ture, gasoline is wasted and poor
fuel economy results. In such
cases, a faulty cooling system
thermostat is signalingthat tthe
engine is running cool, thereby
confusing the fuel system. If so,
have the thermostat replaced.
Be sure to pay attention to any
unusual sounds coming from
your engine. They can be a sign
of serious problems, and usually
require attention from an auto-
motive expert. At ADVANTAGE

This vulnerability, first
identified by the 9/11

addressed by Congress is
the reason for the WHTI.
This was supposed to
start in January.
All U.S. citizens travel-

Although traveling by

Time to relax?

In December 2006, the
law was relaxed for those
traveling by sea or car until
January 2008.
Now the news is that they
have relaxed the implemen-
tation until summer 2008
because of the immense
back up in all of the pass-
port agencies.
Also on June 8, Maura
Harty, assistant secretary for
Consular Affairs and a State
Department spokeswoman
said, announced that there
was a backup in getting
passports to everyone who
applied.
"In light of the current
situation, from now
through Sept. 30, U.S.
citizens traveling to Cana-
da, Mexico, the Caribbean,
and Bermuda who have
applied for, but not yet
received, passports can
temporarily enter and
depart the United States by
air without a passport," Ms.
Harty said.
However, you must have a
government issued photo
identification and State
Department official proof of


star, six battle stars, the
Medal of Freedom of Nor-
way and the Department
of Air Force Exceptional
Service Award, among
many others.
From 1949 to 1951, he
was assistant secretary of
the Air Force, having been
named to that position by
President Harry Truman.
In 1951, Mr. Stuart
returned to the practice of
law and in 1956 was
named president of South-
western Sales Corp., now
First Stuart Corp., a family
investment holding com-
pany.
In 1959, Mr. Stuart was
appointed by the Okla-
homa governor to the state
highway commission, a
position he held for four
years.
An expert hunter and


application for a passport.
Children younger than 16
traveling with a parent or
guardian will also need
proof of application.
Travelers who haven't
applied for a passport, will
have to do so at www.trav-
el.state.gov. This Web site
also answers many other
questions pertaining to the
new rules. .

More changes

On June 20, less than two
weeks later, a new border
rule relaxed the need for a
passport for cruise pa-sen-
gers (.cruising to and from a
United States port) and
cros-.ing the borders of
Canada and Mexico until
summer 2008.
With the constant
changes in this initiative, it
is best to get your passport
processed now, before you
have any traveling plans.

fisherman, Mr. Stuart held

In 1983, Mr. Stuart was
inducted into the Okla-
homa Hall of Fame. In
addition to many other
achievements and hon-
ors, he was named a

How to keep lawns looking lush, green


or a homeowner, one
of the greatest thrills
is to have a lush,
green lawn all year
long.Unfortunately, during
the winter months in
Florida, this can be a real
challenge.
In our area, there are two
types of lawns: St. Augus-
tine and Bahia.'

St. Augustine,
Floratam
Most people have the
Floratam variety of St.
Augustine grass.
Before I get into winter
lawn maintenance, I
would like to talk a little
about Floratam grass.
This variety of St. Augus-
tine grass was introduced
to Florida in 1973 and is
used almost exclusively to
other varieties.
Floratam grass has many
advantages.
It is very adaptable and
can thrive in a wide range
of soils and environmental
conditions.
It does well in Florida's
intense sunlight. This type
of lawn is also relatively
chinch bug resistant. This
is a good point, since
many of the insecticides
that were effective for
chinch bug control, such
as dursban and diazinon,
have been removed from
the market.
Floratam is also a fast
grower that can fill in
empty areas of your lawn
fairly quickly.
The thickness of the lawn
also controls weeds.

Bahia
Bahia grass, on the other
hand, offers some disad-


JOE ZELENAK
Garden Nook

vantages over its rival.
During the growing
season, it produces large
seed heads and over time,
the lawn can thin out,
which will allow weeds
and other wild grasses to
take over.
It also needs a large
amount of iron, or the
grass will yellow during
the spring and fall and has
a very course texture.

Ugly brown spots

Although not a concern
this time of year, your lawn
can suffer from thinning
and browning during the
colder winter months.
One solution would be to
over-seed with rye grass.
This method will help
keep your bare spots to a
minimum. When summer
comes, the rye grass will
die off and offer a fertilizer
effect for the summer
months.

Keeping moist
Proper watering and
fertilizer are essential for a
healthy lawn.
Always keep your lawn
evenly moist.


Under watering as well
as over-watering can cause
problems, such as drying
out or fungus.
Follow your local water-
ing schedule and follow all
water restriction regula-
tions in your area.

Feeding time
A regular fertilizer
program is essential for a
lush green lawn.
Apply a good-quality,
slow-release lawn food
about once every three
months. February is an
excellent time to apply a
good quality weed and feed.
Always apply your
fertilizer according to the
package directions and
always use a spreader.
Never apply lawn food by
hand.

Be careful
with weed care
Care should be exercised
when choosing weed
control products because
you can only use certain
herbicides on certain
lawns.
If you have a Floratam
lawn, choose a product
that contains Atrazine.
This is a safe herbicide for
use in St. Augustine variety
grasses.
If you have Bahia grass,
choose a product with
2.4D or an equivalent.
Using the wrong herbi-
cide can have very unde-
sirable effects.
With a little care and
some work, you too can
have a green lawn year-
round.
I hope this information
useful as well as informa-
tive.

and growing tropicals and
cool ways to display
them.

Earl Stewart says...


"CAR DEALERS -


SMARTEN UP"

YOUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY HAVE.


EARL STEWART


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you doi'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 "Mry CU
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectat
customers.

Virtually every car dealer ofeaucm
In Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a SOphistic
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 ?nluch high
to nearly $1,000. This extra
charge is programmed Into .
your computer. It has been made illegal in
many states Including California, but is still
.legal in Florida. The reason you charge this
fee is simply to increase the price of the car
OYME N T and your profit In such a manner tiat it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
ir culture wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
Is like one and when I stopped charging it a few years
s with your ago it was scary. But I did it because I could
on the way no longer, in good conscience, mislead my
ass should customers. Just because everybody else
conducted, was doing the same thing, did not make it
se call us. correct.

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

"EARL
STEWART"

EARL STEWART
On Cars


any readers of
this column call
me for advice
and to tell me horror
stories about their dealing
with unethical car deal-
ers.
Of course, it would be
much better had these
readers called me before
they bought the car.
This is my 60th, column
for Hometown News and I
have given advice on a
variety of subjects that
should make your car
buying or servicing
experience safer and
more pleasant.
There is one piece of
advice, which, if strictly
followed, would eliminate
more than 90 percent of
the problems car buyers
have with car dealers.
That advice is, "always
insist that all promises
and commitments made
by the car salesperson or
sales manager are put in
writing."
The written commit-
ments should be signed
by both you and the sales
person/manager and you
should retain a copy.
These are just some
examples of promises
made by sales people and
sales managers that were
not kept:
Sign the contract, drive
the car home, and if you
change your mind within
three days, you can bring
the car back and we will
refund all of your money.
(When the customer
brought the car back, the
salesman claimed he
never said any such thing)
After signing a 36-
month lease, the sales-
man assured this cus-
tomer that if she got tired
of this car in less than 36
months, she could just
bring it back anytime. (Of
course the leasing compa-
ny didn't agree with the
salesman on this).
A customer was prom-
ised she would be able to
get free loaner cars


"`'

anytime she brought her
car in for service. (The
service department didn't
know anything about this.
They don't offer free
loaners).
The business manager
told the customer that the
warranty/extended
service contract he was
selling her covered 100
percent of anything that
went wrong with her car.
(When she came in for a
brake job, the service
manager showed her the
fine print in the warranty
contract that said mainte-
nance items were not
covered).
The salesman told the
customer not to trade his
car in on the new car
because he owed more on
the car than it was worth.
He told him to let the
bank take his old car back
and because he was
making his payments on
time on the new car it
wouldn't harm his credit
rating. (I don't think this
requires any explanation).
Customers are prom-
ised that they can bring
their car back after they
buy it and have CD
players, leather, running
boards, floor mats and
other accessories
installed as part of the
deal. When they come
back, none of the man-
agers knows about this
and the salesman can't be
found or doesn't "remem-
ber."

of these anecdotes.
You have very little
chance when it's your
word against the sales-
man or sales manager.
You have even less chance
if it's two against one.
Do not be timid about
asking that everything
promised to you is put in
writing. If the salesman
objects to this or hesi-
tates, you have to ask
yourself why?
Another reason for
having all promises
committed to writing is
that the salesman or sales
manager may not work at
that dealership when you
come back to collect on
his promise. He may have
been sincere, but now he's
gone. Will his replace-
ment believe you?
It's a good idea to carry
a note pad with you when
you are negotiating to buy
a car.
I wrote a previous
column entitled "Never
Go Car Shopping Alone."
When you have an ally
with you, she/he can take
notes while you are
negotiating. Also, if you
do forget to commit a
promise to writing, your
credibility is enhanced
when it's two against one
instead of "he said/she
said."
When signing the final
documents, you have your
complete set of notes
detailing promises,
assurances and commit-
ments by the salesman.
Then, all you have to do is
have these signed by both
parties and be sure that
you get a copy.

Make restaurant quality coconut and almond shrimp at home


ello, smart shop-
pers. Hope you had
a good week.
This week's column will
cover many delicious
things.
A reader named Frank
asked about replacing
spices after one year.
Ground spices are
extremely expensive and
the notion of throwing
them away is ludicrous.
However, as a spice ages it
loses some of its strength.
The solution: Use a little
more. The only time I will
discard a spice is if it's
walking or growing.
The exception is baking
powder and baking soda. If
used long after the expira-
tion date, your baked
goods may not turn out
right.
Two of my favorite
shrimp dishes are coconut
and almond shrimp.
While visiting a restau-
rant in Tallahassee, I had
almond shrimp. It was
unbelievable.
Nowhere could I find a
recipe, so I created my own
for both of these delectable
delights.
Dipping sauces are varied
and expensive.
Save the little packets of
sweet and sour sauce from
Chinese take-out; they're
also great used as a glaze.
for chicken or pork.
I make my own using (all
sugar-free), orange mar-
malade melted with any
berry preserve, a little
lemon juice, a dash of
garlic powder, soy sauce
and pepper.
Look to baby foods.
Plums with a few added
spices make a great plum
sauce.
Layered salads are perfect
for summertime.
Many of you complain
that fat-free cream cheese
and sour cream are awful.
When combined in a
recipe with other ingredi-.
ents you can't tell the
difference.
If you think fat-free
cheese doesn't melt, it just
lays on top of the food and
dies, and you can peel it off
like a piece of plastic, then
you haven't tried Kraft fat-
free slices. They come in
American, cheddar, Swiss
and mozzarella. The
cheddar also comes grated.
These cheeses melt better
than high-fat cheeses, I
promise.
Enjoy. See you next
week.

Beginning in September
with Colin Hay from Men at
Work, performing with his
new band, and ending in

Pooh," there is something
for everyone.
While Art Garfunkel is

David Bromberg, Constan-
tinos Jarferis, The Manhat-
tan Transfer, Livingston

Doc Grober, Cleo Laine and
John Dankworth, The Four
Aces and the Four Lads,
singer/songwriters Over the
Rhine, The Pied Pipers and
Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra in
a salute to Sinatra, Julie
Budd in a salute to Gersh-
win and the Dukes of
Dixieland are only some of
the musicians and singers
who'll come through Stuart.
If you love comedy,
perennial Lyric favorite
Jackie Mason returns, and
topical humor is covered by
the Capitol Steps, Mark
Russell, and The Second
City.
Three RedneckTenors
usher in the holiday season
with a Christmas Spec-tac-
Yule-ar; the popular singers
were brought back this
spring after a successful run
last fall. A PeterWhite
Christmas returns and
Charles Dickens' "A Christ-
mas Carol" is certain to put
you in the holiday mood.
Dance and spectacle are
not forgotten with the
Georgian State Dance
Company, Cirque USA, The
Five Karamazov Brothers,
Barrage, Pilobolus and
Hubbard Street 2.
For kids, "Max and Ruby"
and "The Velveteen Rabbit"

Jennifer Breeze takes the


road home from Nashville


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
You may remember Jennifer
Breeze from her days at Martin
County High School, where she was
a member of the elite Opus choral
group for four years.
The 1998 Martin County graduate,
now a singer/songwriter, lives and
works in Nashville She returns
home to the Lyric Theatre on July 21
to debut her new CD, "Something
Real," and she recently spoke by
phone about her journey to
Nashville and back home.
Ms. Breeze, who was raised in
Jensen Beach, grew up playing a
series of "little red toy guitars" she
got as a young child.
"It was the size of a ukulele," she
says. "I owned a couple; I was told,
the first one I had got run over, so I
got another one. It never left my
hands. I've always wanted to do it.
I've sung my little heart out for as
long as I can remember."
After high school, Ms. Breeze
attended the University of Miami,
where she was involved in the Bap-
tist Collegiate Ministries, but she
wanted to get involved in audio
engineering and realized Miami was
not the school for her.
She attended IRCC and got a
degree in art and then moved to
Murfreesboro, Tenn. to attend Mid-
dle Tennessee State University,

Week of 07-13-2007

Aries-March 21-April 19
You continue to move forward. You are a winner
in the game of life. Why? You are a fire sign. Fire
signs are ruled by the gut instinct. When your
heart is open and you are listening to your inner
guidance, you always make wise choices. This tips
the odds of success in your favor and you emerge
victorious. It's as simple as that.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
You are faced with many new challenges. Be
patient and wait for a sign before making changes.
The key to knowing which to pursue is whether it
feels good and you are happy with it. If you aren't,
don't do it. Something better is waiting. This
insures that the end result will be successful. Now
it's time to celebrate.
Gemini-May 21 -June 21
People around you may not like the way you
stand up for your beliefs but they have to respect

returns home from
Nashville to perform
songs from her new
CD, 'Something
Real,' at the Lyric
Theatre on Satur-.
day, July21.

which offers degrees related to the
music business.
"I knew that if I wanted to study
recording, it was one of the best,"
she says. "I finally got my recording
degree, but I still wanted to be a
singer and artist. The technical side
was the fallback side while I was
breaking into the industry."
After a few years, she moved back
to Jensen Beach and took a job as
the worship leader at the Treasure
Coast Community Church, but she
kept alive the dream of performing
and recording.
"I still felt like I was supposed to be
an artist," she says. "The ministry


was a huge part of my life but I still
wanted to make a go of the music."
She married Jensen Beach resi-
dent Bryan Timmerman in 2004,
and when he was hired to work in
Nashville as production manager
for a company that records Sunday
School curriculum DVDs, she
retuned to'work on her music while
working at the same company on
the technical side."
The product of two years of writ-
.ing and recording, she wanted to
come home to debut "Something
Real" because her family and

you. Respect is the foundation for love, honor and
personal growth. Now is a good time to place new,
projects in motion. Write down .your visions and
dreams. Then go for it. You will succeed.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Right now the sun, moon and Mercury are all in
Cancer. This is a winning hand. It means that your
mind, heart and spirit are in sync, working togeth-
er in harmony and raring to go. You are like a mag-
net with plenty of power to attract the people,
events and things that will make you happy, pros-
perous and feeling much new life.
Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
The need to speak from the heart and express you
deeper feelings is strong right now. With Venus in
Leo you can do this. Your family and associates
will feel it and respond favorably. This increase in
energy will recharge your emotional batteries and
help you finish projects in a timely manner as if by
magic.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You were born lucky. No matter what challenges
are given, you usually emerge victorious. The main
reason is your tenacity. You never give up. This
quality along with your big heart and deep well of
compassion and understanding are spiritual treas-
ures and more valuable than material wealth and
power. You make it look so easy.
Libra-Sept. 23-Oct.22
Keep acknowledging your great worth. The true
principle of the earth is abundance, not lack. The
more you receive, the more you can give. Your


strong sense of justice comes back to you in the
kindness and favor others feel toward you. Just be
open to receiving this higher good and your life
will always be filled with joy.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Your spirit is stronger than ever. Your large heart
always prevails. When you stay focused and take
positive action, the desired results always follow.
Watch for the signs that your ideas have a blessing
and are taking root and growing. Others hang
around to see what you are doing next. You are
exciting to watch.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Stay focused on the three most important projects
you face each day. It is so important to have free
time to just have fun and do things that make you
feel good outside of work. You don't have to be all
things to all people anymore. Balance comes from
taking care of you first, next family and then the
world. Live on this edge and life will reward you
greatly.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan 19
The world sees you as calm on the outside. Few
ever know that under the surface is a strong, inde-
pendent nature that gives you the courage and
determination to carry: on no matter what. You
handle responsibility as well as any sign in the
zodiac. Maybe we need to create a yearly Capri-
corn award for such great leadership?

Toojay's, a

BY JANET SICHEL
Dining Review Crew
When visiting New York City, one
"must do" is a meal at a famous New
York delicatessen such as the Stage
Door or Carnegie on Manhattan's 7th
Avenue.
The hustling servers and shouting
cooks behind the food cases are part
of the experience, but it's the huge
corned beef or pastrami on rye sand-
wich challenging you to get your
mouth around it that the sets the
uninitiated gasping. Then there are
the fat, juicy dill pickles and hunks of
chocolate cake, 6 inches high, glis-
tening with another inch of dark
frosting, that just dare you to eat it all.
And you do.
These delis are famous for great
sandwiches and down-to-earth food,
but gourmet is not a term that comes
to mind.
When two fellows named Jay,
Brown -and Katzenberg, respectively,
opened their first New York-style
"gourmet" deli on Palm Beach in
1981, they brought that NewYork del-
icatessen concept to Florida.
After 26 years, Toojay's Original
Gourmet Deli is a Florida institution
with 24 restaurants and more than
1,500 employees.
They raised the bar in local moder-
ately priced food with great kosher-
style sandwiches, salads, chicken
soup, cabbage rolls, breads and
desserts. Last week, colleague Linda
and I sat down to sample the fare at
the newest Toojay's; the company's
flagship venue in Downtown at the
Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens.
What were we eating was our first
question.
House specialties, including potato
pancakes with applesauce and sour
cgeam (delish), melt in the mouth
blintzs (crepes) stuffed with sweet
cream cheese, topped with cherries
in fruit sauce and a dollop of sour
cream and cabbage rolls, so good
that if I had found this recipe 20 years
ago, I'd still have a husband. Ladies,
you can order them for take-out. It's
the light sweet/sour tomato sauce
and cabbage combination that goes
straight to the heart.
Speaking of comfort food, we sam-
pled customer favorites, such as
chicken pot pie, large chunks of
white meat and carrots in a creamy
sauce flavored with celery and pars-
ley, topped by puff pastry; London
broil, thin slice marinated steak with
a hint of teriyaki, served with fresh
green beans and mashed potatoes
with mushroom gravy; and chicken

ome time ago, I read
an article on a man
who had researched
and written about laws.
"Since the beginning of
recorded history, govern-
ments of all the countries
, in the world had peacefully':
*r forcefully enacted at, :
least 7 million laws," he "
wrote.
"How could anyone keep
all those laws?" I thought.
"With that many, there
must have been a lot of
them broken."
The article went on to say
we could have lived
without all these if we
practiced the original 10,
and we could live without
the 10 if we practiced "the
one law."
I was deeply moved by
the idea, and all of a
sudden a poem came
flowing through me almost
as if it were writing itself.
Here it is written in prose
form to save space.
The One Law
One law, one law, what
matters but The One Law?
There is just one law for
all of creation.
It was made without flaw
or discrimination
Given to every living kind
in perfect dedication.
Spirit made The One Law
for all of creation.
One Law, one law.
SWhat matters but The
One Law?
The law is love. The law is
love. The law is love.
Known by many names.
Called the golden rule. No
law has more fame. It was
made for me and you.
One law, one law, what
matters but The One Law?
The law is love. The law is
love. The law is uncondi-
tional love.

JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide
last week was, "The
supreme secret to living a
happy life," the secret being
how to use an open heart
as a channel of love.
One of the most exciting
mysteries of life is that of
10-fold return.
In a garden when the
seeds are planted in fertile
soil, watered, covered up
and surrendered, they
begin the process of
creating life. The seed
sends out the roots like a
child at birth knows how to
seek out its mother for
nurturing.
Then the universe begins
to send back the nourish-
ment through the roots
and the little shoot comes
out of the ground.
This is the sign of a
blessing on the seed. The
earthly seed has connected
to the source. Its' real
parent is now feeding it.
Our job now is to feed the
source so it can feed the
newborn plant.
Understand and apply
this principle of giving first
in all areas of your life and
you are on your way to a
magnificent life.
In time, the plant begins
to bloom, become fruitful,
bring us a bountiful harvest
and great reward for the
effort.

gives back tenfold.
This is the law of love at
its finest.
The supreme law is
abundance. Every form of
life follows this plan. To the
extent we honor the
universe and love it, it will
honor us right back and
show even greater love.
The key is to surrender
our will, be patient and let
the universal will flow
through us and work for us.
Giving love and then letting
it return multiplied is the
supreme hope for the,
continuation of healthy,
abundant and happy life on
earth.
How happy are you? What
do you love the most?What

and reaping? Sow positive

Internet and its many benefits

will be around for a long time


M" y ex-wife's ques-
tion took me
completely by
surprise.
She asked such a basic
question, I was at a loss to
answer her. I thought the
answer was obvious.
"Why should I bother
with the Internet?" she
asked. "I've gotten along
without it for all these
years, why should I spend
my time learning my way
around the Internet when
I can pick up an encyclo-
pedia or go to a library and
find out whatever I need
to?"
I was shocked.
I was flabbergasted.
I was stumped!
I had never really sat
down and thought about
just what the Internet was
good for. I had always just
felt that the Internet was,
and that it was good.
Let's start with a little
history.
The Internet has been
around for almost 40
years. It started when the
U.S. Defense Department
hired the Advanced
Research Projects Agency
to create a computer
network that would be
impervious to nuclear
attack.
The result was ARPANET,
a bunch of computers
connected to each other
with no one computer in
charge. This way, if the
commies (we were in the
heart of the Cold War at
this time) ever decided to
nuke us, the computer'
network would still work.
I guess one benefit of the
Internet is that in the
event of a nuclear war, you
will still get your e-mail.
In the 1980s, universities
and the science communi-
ty wanted a way to share



>/ou 'oe


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This
information with each
other and ARPANET was
the ideal way to go about
it.
Unfortunately, the
military had way too many
security measures. Scien-
tists and universities just
wanted to share data, not
worry about passwords
and security.
The National Science
Foundation went on to
create its own network
using the same decentral-
ized approach as
ARPANET.
Thus NSFNet was born.
For a while the two
networks coexisted nicely.
Then someone got the
idea to link the two
networks; voila, the
Internet was born.
The concept of the
Internet is truly incredible
and gives definition to the
term "information age."
At the click of a button,
all of the world's accumu-
lated knowledge is avail-
able to anyone who knows
where to look.
If knowledge is power,
then anyone with a
computer "on the wire" is
now potentially a very
powerful someone.
The early 1990s brought
a new era to the Internet.


This was when ordinary
people were allowed
access without having to
go through a military
computer or a university
system.
Suddenly, everyone
could have an e-mail
address and search
databases once accessible
only by scientists, histori-
ans and military person-
nel.
Also, the decentralized
approach of computer
networking has led to
advances such as the
World Wide Web, a way to
exchange information
with words, sounds, video
and pictures.
Never before in history
have people had access to
such an incredible amount
of information.
Children can find help
with their homework as
well as play games with
other people in other parts
of the world, kind of like
pen pals with a high tech
twist.
Adults can do invest-
ment research online, take
a college class from their
own homes, or even see
their grandchildren take
their first steps as they talk
on videophone.
The list goes on and on.
The thing to remember
about the Internet is that it
is boundless. There is no
central agency running the
show, nor are there any
limits. It is a constantly
evolving medium.
We can only guess where
the Internet will take us
next, but we can rest
assured, the Internet is
here to stay, even in the
event of a nuclear war.
Sean McCarthy has
worked with computers
since 1978.

Try to dance, sing, exercise out of a rut


M y husband, Roy,
and I recently saw
a marvelous
school production of the
musical, "Rent."
The message of living
each day really resonated
with us.
Sometimes when you
deal with chronic illnesses
and frequent medical
crises, you lose sight of
living in the quest to stay
alive. Just getting through
the days, with multiple
medical appointments,
financial concerns and
other worries gets you so
caught up that you forget
how to have fun and how
to live the life that you
have left.
Roy and I have each
discovered how much fun
it can be to try new things
and grab hold of life
instead of it clutching onto
us.
Roy fell recently, and
some balance problems
sent us on the search for
physical therapy.
It's been great for him.
The therapist comes to .
the house and acts more
as a personal trainer than
a therapist.
I think Roy was envision-
ing learning how to walk


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
with a cane, and instead,
he's lifting weights, using
resistance bands, riding
the stationary bicycle and
doing the things he
thought he'd never do
again.
He says he feels much
better and I'm sure he
does, physically, after only
a few sessions.
The bigger change,
however, is to his mood.
Even the always-opti-
mistic Roy had begun to
walk slowly and the smiles
were less frequent.
Now I see the old Roy,
with a spring to his step
and a quip on his lips.
At 79, he's remembering
what he can do, and not
what he can't do.


I've also spread my wings
a bit.
I have always wanted to
take singing lessons. It was
on my "someday I'll" list.
Of course, I had to
rationalize doing some-
thing I wanted to do. I
persuaded myself that the
deep breathing was good
for stress relief and to
strengthen my lung capaci-
ty because of the missing
lobe.
I was right. It is a great
stress reliever and I am
breathing better, but that's
not the story.
The story is that I love it!
I'm having a ball belting
out songs, such as "Hey, Big
Spender" and 'All That Jazz"
and I feel more confident.
I thought I'd be the oldest
student, but my teacher,
Peter, tells me he had an 85-
year-old student who
wanted to keep his brain
active.
Having started singing, I
decided my exercise routine
was in a rut, and seized on
the dance craze.
I got a bunch of exercise
DVDs with dancing themes,
and in the privacy of my
bedroom, I'm doing the
samba, hip hop, jazz and
jive.


Who cares if I get all the
steps right? I'm not going to
step on anyone's toes.
We're a lot happier at our
house.
Yes, it's hard to deal with
anything else when you're
constantly in crisis mode.
We finally got a break and
we're making the most of it.
If you've wanted to do
something, anything, get
moving!
Sign up for lessons, plan a
trip, join a book group; push
yourself outside your
comfort zone.
If you have an interest
and can't find a group, start
one.
None of us knows what
the future will hold.
Neither Roy nor I could
have imagined the medical
crises of the last seven years.
We will never again take
for granted the "good days"
and we intend to make the
most ofthem.
I hope you will, too.

"There are a lot of rela-

I actually think that music
reaches beyond beliefs

people. People are open
to music, and a song
means different things to
different people. Listen to
the music. I don't want
to be pigeon-holed or

FHSAA gets steroid testing


right, but method wrong


Photo illustration by Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Starting July 1, Florida high school athletes in football,
baseball and weightlifting will be randomly selected for
steroid testing. The one-year pilot program will test a max-
imum of 1 percent of athletes in the thred sports and is the
first state wide steroid testing program in Florida.

ZBY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
The Florida House of Rep-
resentatives passed House
Bill 461 last month, officially
recognizing the steroid era
in Florida high school ath-
letics.
The Florida High School
Athletics Association will
now "test one percent of the
student-athletes in grades 9-
12 who participate in the
sports of baseball, football,
and weightlifting," accord-
ing to a statement by FHSAA
Commissioner John A.
Stewart.
But was it a public rela-
tions move, or an attempt to
fix a problem in Florida high
schools?
It's hard to tell exactly.
By testing only one per-
cent of athletes in just three
, sports, the FHSAAwill check
only a miniscule number of
potential cheaters.
Out of the 15 FHSAA sanc-
tioned sports and seven rec-
ognized sports, only one
percent of athletes in 13 per-
cent of offered high school
sports are subject to steroid
testing.
I'm no mathematician,
but that's barely scratching
the surface of the student-
athletes body in the state of
Florida.
Yes, football, baseball and
even weightlifting are three
of the most popular sports
out there, with a lot of stu-
dents on each team.
And yes, if kids are going to
juice, they are most likely to
do it for one of these sports.
But what about the other
19 sports the FHSAA offers?
Are the FHSAA and the
Florida House of Represen-
tatives so naive to think that
steroids only exist in those
sports?
FHSAA Senior Director of
Athletic Operations and
Officials, M. Denarvise
Thornton, said the program
is simply in its pilot and is
subject to change next.sum-
mer. At that time the FHSAA
will present its findings to


the House and they will pro-
ceed from there.
"We've always had a policy
that if a student used
steroids they would be inel-
igible until they proved it
was no longer in their sys-
tem," Thornton said. "One
of the things that we've
heard is that testing is a
strong deterrent to students
using steroids. We under-
stand that surveys through-
out the country (have
shown) most students have
had an opportunity to
experiment with steroids. So
hopefully this will persuade
them from doing so."
I'm confused. There must
be a problem with steroids
at the high school.level or
this bill wouldn't have been
passed. But if there is a prob-
lem, why only call out three
sports?
Rep. Marcello Llorente (R-
Miami), who began drafting
the bill four years ago, said it
was the best the state could
do financially. While Texas
has a multi-million dollar
high school steroid testing
policy, Florida is putting
$100,000 towards House Bill
461.
"I'd like to see a program in
place that will effectively
deter high school athletes
from using steroids,"
Llorente said. "How that
(develops) in the future will
be a result of how well this
program goes."
The 2006 Florida Youth
Substance Abuse Survey
reported, 1.1 percent of high
school students had experi-
mented with steroids in
their lifetime.
While those numbers are
small (only about 650 stu-
dents were polled),
Horente, along with coaches
and trainers are not con-
vinced it isn't a bigger prob-
lem.
"I have not personally wit-
nessed (steroid use)," said
Port St. Lucie High School
athletic trainer Jill Bradford.
"But that doesn't mean it
doesn't exist."

the St. Lucie Medical Center
on top of being an athletic
trainer in St. Lucie County
for the last three years. She
thinks students should be
educated about the dangers
of using performance-
enhancing drugs beside
what they see on TV While
steroid related health issues
like liver failure and heart
disease concern her the
most, it's the emotional
mood swings steroids cause
that she feels goes unmen-
tioned.
"One of my concerns is
aggressive behavior. Who
else are they endangering?"
Bradford said. "We're not
just talking about one child,
but other children and their
well-being."
With the FHSAA admitting
random steroid testing to
players in baseball, football
and weightlifting, the num-
ber of athletes taking
steroids in those sports will
go down. As Thornton said,
the fear of getting caught
will do a lot.
But what is there to pre-
vent a star basketball player,
who plays football too and
takes steroids, to drop the
pigskin and "concentrate"
on basketball so he won't get
tested?
"I certainly think that is a
,possibility," Llorente said. "I
guess that is a loophole... If
this becomes a more perma-
nent problerim, we can get a
more adequate testing."
The same loophole could
work for a track star on the
cusp of big college scholar-
ship.
Are we so quick to forget
that the track world is pol-
luted with doping scandals?
Olympic medal winners Tim
Montgomery and Marion
Jones are just two examples
of US track stars linked to
the now famous BALCO
case that implemented San
Francisco Giants slugger
Barry Bonds.

Bonds used steroids, look at

now.)
If the state of Florida is
going to make a high school
steroid policy, it should test
everyone.
Not just football players,
baseball players and
weightlifters.
Another question was,
why is there only one
female sport being tested?
Minus the few girls who
try to be a place-kicker for
the football team, girls'
weightlifting, is one of the
fastest growing sports on
the Treasure Coast.
Why test baseball players
and not test softball play-
ers? Steroids help players
hit the ball farther. Last
time I checked, that was


ing fall season. Tryouts will
be held at Lawnwood Sports
complex on Aug. 4-5 from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the 11
and under team and the 12

under team will be having
tryouts later that day at 2

bash the FHSAA for imple-

them for trying to attack
an issue before it becomes

way they are going about it
is wrong. If you're going to
