Is county economy starting to hit the skids?


Unemployment
rate is still
below national
average
BY DONALDRODRIGUE
For Hometown News
The expected summer-
time slowdown, coupled
with the collapse of the
housing market and con-
tinued high fuel prices, is
starting to have an impact
on Martin County's econ-
omy.
According to figures
released July 20 by the
Florida Agency for Work-
force Innovation, the June
unemployment rate in
Martin County jumped to
4.1 percent from 3.7 a year
ago. That figure is still
lower than the national
average of 4.5 percent.


Local


video


earns


honors

BY RITA HART
Staff writer
PALM CITY A local
man has created a wild
digital version of himself
that won third place in a
nationwide contest on
the Web site
YouTube.com.
The first thing you
notice on Riki Russell's
video is the main char-
acter's head. It is oddly
shaped, the eyes pop
out, the teeth are exag-
gerated and the tongue
seems to have a life of its
own.
The "Official UpStage
by Samsung Contest"
began, May 21 and
ended July 7. Contes-
tants were invited to
make a lip-sync video to
the tune "Destiny Call-
ing" by Melody Club and
then post their entries
onYouTub.
The sponsors of the
Samsung contest found
Mr. Russell's entry clever
enough to place him in
the top 20 out of approx-
imately 300 entries.
That earned him the.
spot on YouTube.
From there, viewers of
YouTube voted for their
favorite video, and last
week, Mr. Russell, who

Rising unemployment
rates are normal in the
region during the summer
months, said Gwenda
Thompson, president and
CEO of the Workforce
Development Board of the
Treasure Coast.
"We usually see a jump
in unemployment every
June and July, and some-
times even August," she
explained.
Ms Thompson attrib-
utes the annual rise to the
drop in tourism during the
hot summer months,
which usually begins to
pick up again in the fall.
To help combat the
summertime doldrums
and the effects of a slow
home construction indus-
try, the region's economic
development officials are
working hard to ensure
that the local economy
remains on an even keel.


Martin County officials
aren't resting on their lau-
rels, even though the
county's June unemploy-
ment rate beat the nation-
al unemployment rate.
If Ronald Bunch, the
new executive director of
the Business Develop-
ment Board of Martin
County, has his way, local
unemployment won't go
any higher due to area
businesses lured away to
greener pastures. Accord-
ing to Bunch, the BDBMC
"puts a major focus on
business retention and
expansion efforts. We visit
contributory businesses in
the community to help
identify their needs and to
help them retain or
expand their operations."
The organization also
works to convince suc-
cessful firms elsewhere to
relocate to Martin County.


'We usually see a jump in unemployment
every June and July, and sometimes even
August."
Gwenda Thompson
CEO, Workforce Development Board


The BDBMC recently
orchestrated a mail cam-
paign to biotech compa-
nies utilizing some smart
digital technology: a USB
stick loaded with all sorts
of tantalizing information
about the county.
But Bunch and his staff
aren't content to stop
there. They're also doing
regular follow-up on these
prospective companies to
gauge exactly when they
might be tempted to make
the move.
As far as the tourist sec-
tor of the Martin County


economy, officials are
striving to draw more visi-
tors from nearby areas of
Florida who might other-
wise put off their travel
plans due to the high cost
of gasoline this summer.
The Martin County Con-
vention and Visitor's
Bureau recently launched
a new advertising cam-
paign titled "Your Getaway
Is Not Far Away" in order
to show Floridians in
nearby cities just how far

Skating his way


to the next level


Local athlete is
pursuing, of all
things, a career
in professional
hockey
BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
While most recent Florida
high school graduates hit
the beach for fun in the sun
this summer, Dean Wolfe
will be throwing on a
sweater and lacing up his
skates.
Last week the Port St.
Lucie resident signed a one-
year contract with the Elmi-
ra Junior Jackals hockey
team in upstate NewYork.
The contract will pay


Wolfe $6,500 and includes
room and board during the
season. He will also be work-
ing at the skating rink for
extra money, while taking
classes at Indian River Com-
munity College online.
"It's really exciting
because I get to play hock-
ey" Wolfe said. "It's what I
love to do."
While the pay might be
low, the exposure is price-
less. Elmira is a pro hockey
team that plays in the Amer-
ican East Hockey League
and is considered a feeder
team to other professional
teams and colleges.
Knowing he wanted to
pursue hockey beyond high
school, Wolfe took courses

STUART The Visiting
Nurse Association Air
Show, one of Martin Coun-
ty's most popular annual
events, may fall victim to
budget cuts in fiscal year
2008.
Since, the fiscal year
begins Oct. 1, any cuts to.
the 2008 budget could
affect this year's air show,
which is scheduled for Vet-
eran's Day weekend, Nov.
10 and 11.
Martin County, which
owns the Witham Airport
in Stuart where the air
show takes place, has
released a proposed 2008
budget. Within the section
entitled "Significant Board
of County Commissioners
Department Reductions,"
changes in the Airport
Department include
"reduced airport support
for the Visiting Nurses Air
Show ($20,000)."
Susan Palmeri, airport
operations manager for
Witham Airport, said,
"When we went in (to the
county's budget work-
shop), we had a proposed
budget that reduced the
total contribution of
$40,000 by $20,000."
"So we came in still pro-
posing a $20,000 contribu-
tion. However, the county
is considering taking away
the $20,000 that was left,"
she said.
One-half of that $40,000
was to be spent on the air


show's historic airplane
exhibit, while the remain-
ing $20,000 was the coun-
ty's contribution for main-
tenance and security at
the event.
This information came
to light during at thp July
19 budget workshop.
On July 20, Kimberly
Jones, director of market-
ing for the VNA air show,
said, "This is obviously
something we just found
out. No information has
been given directly to us
yet, but upon receiving
this information, it will be
up to the executive board
(of the VNA Air Show) to
decide what the next step
will be)."
Martin County Commis-
sion chairman Michael
DiTerlizzi said he had
asked his staff on June 23 if
they would look at the
Tourist Development
Organization to see if the
tourist development tax
(also known as the bed tax)
could fund the entire
$40,000.00.
"My goal is not to cut the
funding, but to find the
appropriate funding
source," said Mr. DiTerl-
izzi.
"I don't think the county
should be paying for the
air show. In my opinion,
airport funds should pay
for airport functions. If it
is a tourism event, which
we all know it is, then I
think the tourism fund

Armed robber may be a young teen

Martin County Sheriff's deputies are investigating an
armed robbery that occurred June 16 at the BP gas station
in Jensen Beach, and their lone suspect maybe a 14-year-
old boy recognized by the store clerk.
Biswajit C. Paul, 33, was just walking out of the store's
cooler when he saw a male, approximately 5-foot tall,
approaching.
According to a report filed with the Sheriff's Office, the
young man said, "I want everything," and pushed Mr. Paul
to the cash register, holding a black handgun to Mr. Paul's
back.
The youth was handed $450 in a bag. As the robber fled
he took off his bright blue skull cap and Mr. Paul realized
he was one of several teens that frequent the store, trying
to get clerks to sell them cigarettes.
In addition to the hat, surveillance video revealed the
suspect had on a dark shirt and black sneakers.

Martin County's bed tax may increase

On July 17, Martin County Commissioners voted unani-
mously voted for a proposal to increase the hotel bed tax
from two to four percent. The formal vote on the matter
will take place during a formal hearing on Aug. 14.
The "bed tax," also known as the tourist development
tax, has been in effect since 2002, when it was approved
following a countywide referendum.
The tax is added to the cost of renting and leasing hotel
or motel accommodations for stays of less than six
months, and most of the funds from the tax are used to
promote tourism through the Martin County Convention
andVisitors Bureau.

Property Appraiser's office
moves to Tower building

Following in the footsteps of the Tax Collector and the
Supervisor of Election offices, the Property Appraiser's
office has now relocated.
On July 13, the Property Appraiser's office moved from
the courthouse in downtown Stuart to the Tower building
at 1111 U.S. 1, Suite 330 in Stuart, in what the County
Commission hopes will be a temporary location while the
courthouse undergoes renovations. This year, $2.5 million
is allocated for those renovations, with $1 million per year
expected to be set aside for each of the next five years.
It is the hope of County Commission to eventually have
all county offices together again in one building.
In the interim, the offices are in separate locations, each
with a five-year lease and the option to continue the lease
each year thereafter for five more years.
The Tax Collector's office is currently located at 3485 S.E.
Willoughby Blvd., Stuart, while the Supervisor of Elections
office is at 135 S.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Stuart.

Man apprehended on warrant from 1993

Martin County Circuit Judge Larry Schack signed an
arrest warrant in early 1993 in a sexual abuse case.
The victim was a 10-year-old girl from Hobe Sound, and
the warrant was for Wayne A. Lawson, now 56, formerly of
Port St. Lucie.
For more than 14 years, Mr. Lawson eluded law enforce-
ment, until an anonymous citizen noticed his photograph

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

Today's new car buyers are look-

potential purchases. These days,
an interest in all things electronic
compels buyers to look for Pod
connectivity, TV screens, and heat-
ed cup holders. These dashboard
electronics, known as "telemat-
ics," were once only found in high-
priced vehicles. However, as the
automotive industry increasingly
caters to the desires of younger
drivers, and mass production low-

cases. The firm employs
more than 130 individuals
and is active nationally.
Mr. McManus will pre-
side over family court and
civil court cases from a
courtroom in the Okee-
chobee Courthouse starting
Aug. 29.
'After that, it's only a short
time before the next pri-
mary on Aug, 28, 2008.
Under the constitution, I
should be able to stay in
office until the following
election in 2010, and then
my intention is to run again
for a six-year term," said Mr.
McManus.
Chosen by Gov. Crist
from a final field of five can-
didates, Mr. McManus said
he doesn't want to compare
himself with the others
vying for the position.
"I've had 35 years experi-
ence and have been very
successful in many kinds of
law. I started out doing
criminal and divorce and
general practice back in the
dark ages and gradually did
bigger cases," said Mr.
McManus.
Mr. McManus was asked
what he thinks Gov. Crist
saw in him that helped the
governor make the choice
he did.
"I have a mature
demeanor and don't lose
my temper," said Mr.
McManus.
"The governor inter-
viewed me personally and I
have a vision that I can
make the court system
work for people. Very few
people go to court saying
'this is my lucky day,' so I
want to bring compassion
to the courtroom, be
patient and know and
strictly follow the law. I'd
like the people to feel it's
their institution, not my
institution." he said.
Chief judge of the 19th
Judicial Circuit William L.
Roby said Mr. McManus'
extensive experience makes
him a welcome addition to
the bench.
"We are looking forward
to having him come on
board to assist us in admin-
istering justice in Okee-
chobee County and
throughout the 19th Cir-
cuit," said Judge Roby.
"He is an exciting addi-
tion, considering he has so
much experience in the
practice of law and that
experience will go a long
way to administering jus-
tice fairly and impartially,"
he said.
Mr. McManus and his
wife, Martin County resi-
dents since 1979, have been
married for 39 years. They
have two children and four
grandchildren.
The other candidates
who were interviewed by
Gov. Crist for the position
are family court magistrate
Deborah Marie Hooker,
family court hearing officer
Laurie A. Ehler, prosecutors
Pamela J. Roebuck and
Jason Berger and, private
attorney Charles Anthony
Schwab.

CASTLE receives


national recognition


BY RITA HART
Staff writer

FORT PIERCE CAS-
TLEIthe Treasure Coast
agency that serves over
10,000 people per year in
its efforts to strengthen
families and prevent child
abuse, recently received
national recognition.
The National Exchange
Club Foundation, which
oversees a network of
child abuse prevention
programs, awarded CAS-
TLE its top accreditation
rating.
CASTLE stands for
Child Abuse Services,
Training and Life Enrich-
ment.
"We are the flagship
program in the nation,"
said Kristi Scottaline,
head of community rela-
tions for CASTLE.
'About 100 agencies like
CASTLE came up after us,
and we have had a favor-
able reaction from NECB
because of that," she said.
CASTLE's offices are
located in Martin County,
Fort Pierce and Vero
Beach. The agency's staff
also services families in
Sebastian and Okee-
chobee.
"We are there to make
sure the family's situation
gets better. Our biggest


program is Safe Families,
which sends counselors
into homes to see what is
going on and how we can
help," said Ms. Scottaline.
Ms. Scottaline said
even though CASTLE
does not yet have offices
in outlying areas such as
Sebastian and Okee-
chobee, the agency still
manages to provide serv-
ices there.
"Our counselors cover
the whole Treasure Coast,
and they do a good job of
getting to the outlying
areas," she said.
The .AAA rating
received by CASTLE is the
top honor bestowed by
NECB. CASTLE was rec-
ognized for their compli-
ance with its Standards of
Operation and Practice as
it relates to CASTLE's
quality programs and
sound business practices.
Karen Rich Askew,
director of Child Abuse
Prevention Services at
NECE, said. in a state-
ment, "The Standards of
Operation and Practice
has been developed
based on more than 25
years of observation of
programs within our net-
work. We believe they are
state-of-the-art, and are
pleased CASTLE is a part
of our network."

Beautification of Stuart

I have a question.
With all of the beautification of the downtown area of
Stuart, why on earth do the powers that be tolerate the
mess on the comer of the Ashley restaurant, with all of the
motorcycles, and worse yet, the shabby men and women
hanging out and looking weird?
These people use this place to meet their friends.
They need help to get them off booze and drugs.
They need help, yes, but why don't they meet some-
where else, so as not to be a revolting distraction to good
folks and children?
There are groups of support that they can go to. Put
them elsewhere, and improve the nice ambiance.
I, along with many locals and tourists come down to this
area to shop, eat, etc.
Lots of people who have renewed the old downtown feel
that building should be razed, and replaced with a three-
story parking garage, which is sorely needed, instead of
more condos, apartments, etc.

Response from The Ashley Restaurant

I would like to clarify afew items.
The place which the person ranting is speaking of is not
The Ashley Restaurant.
It is the Alcoholics Anonymous Group that meets in the
Fellowship Hall Building on the opposite corner of the
street.
I, too, have consistently complained to the city of Stuart.
The city is well aware of the problem, and has offered
alternative solutions.
TheAA group has been entrusted the building that they
are located at. It is their full and complete right to be there.
I have had a problem with people loitering outside my
restaurant on the bench, smoking cigarettes and leaving
garbage around.
I asked the city of Stuart to remove the bench from the
front area located near my main entrance, and they kindly
obliged my request and moved the bench across the street,
in front of their meeting place, the Fellowship Hall.
So please ifyou have a complaint, complain to the city of
Stuart or the Alcholics Anonymous group itself.
Also, If you are going to rant and mention the name of a
business, please, I implore you, get the information straight.
These "people," as you refer to them, do not hang out in
front of TheAshley Restaurant with their motorcycles. They
hang out in front of Fellowship Hall across the street.
I have worked downtown for eight years, and I have been
the owner of The Ashley for one year now.
I have worked very hard to get as far as I have, as well as
improving the image of TheAshley Restaurant.
This restaurant holds a fantastic history for the down-
town Stuart area, and I would like to keep its history alive
and running.
So please, get the facts straight.

Tara Carlen
Owner, The Ashley Restaurant

Stop pushing services

There are articles every week complaining about illegals
and immigration.
People have mentioned walking into doctor's offices
and seeing a waiting room full of illegals with Medicaid.
This is one way the illegals are eating up all the food
stamp and Medicaid services.
Here in an idea. Stop offering them these services.
Pick up the phone, call a health clinic, and tell them you
are pregnant and are calling to make your first appoint-
ment.
Obviously a female needs to call.
The first question they will ask is: How are you paying
for this? Or, do you have insurance?
Then, say, "My insurance doesn't cover maternity, but I
will be a self pay. They will push Medicaid down your
throat. They will not let you pay for their services.
After you say you knowyou are not eligible for Medicaid,
they will tell you that you'll be surprised how much Med-
icaid will help you when you're pregnant.
Maybe if people stopped pushing the services, people
would stop taking advantage of them.

How are we protecting ourselves?

I am a mother whose son and son-in-law fight, and have
fought for our country in Iraq.
My son was over there in a very hostile, hateful country
that hates the Americans, and wishes us nothing but dead.
My son-in-law is over there for the third time.
My sweet daughter-in-law is Mexican, but she is also in
the army, and in military intelligence along with her hus-
Sband, my son.


That makes her, and my two granddaughters, a very
major part of my life.
She is legal, and has proved that she loves this country,
which she claims as her own.
Her father came here illegally, and it took him 10 years to
become legal, but he did it.
What I am saying is this, if you want to live in this beauti-
ful country and claim it yours, then you really have to work
at it and fight for it.
What's going to happen with all of the illegals when this
country gets taken over by the terrorists, and no one wants
to fight to keep it free?
Do you really think you'll be protected then?
I feel we need to direct our thinking to the obvious.
That scenario is getting quite close. How are we really
protecting ourselves, and our borders, and from whom?

It is fair

Good grief. This is a comment on the driver's license
problem.
If is broken down into six years, it is fair. You've had six
years to get your driver's license changed.
The last time I checked there were 12 months in a year.
You have had plenty of time to get things in order.
Stop complaining.

Press 1 for English?

Will I press 1 for English? Absolutely not.
Do the French press 1 for French? Do the Germans
press 1 for German? Do the Italians press 1 for Italian?
Why should I, or we, press 1 for English?
Whose country is this, anyway?

Is it possible?

I am a 23-year veteran of the U.S. Army, and have served
my country proudly.
I still consider the United States the best country in the
world, but it is not the only one, and we are not the only
Americans, there is also North, Central, and South Ameri-
ca. We are just the only United States Americans.
As most know, this country was settled by people and
families looking for a better way of life. Maybe they were
trying to escape persecution, religious, ethnic, etc., or war,
or had no options to care for their families, or maybe to
just find more room to live.
In the beginning, and if my facts are correct, there were
no laws in place to determine or identify personss, legal
or illegal immigrants. This came later.
If this is correct, our immigrant forefathers, prior to the
establishment of immigration laws, were all illegal, and for
the most part, unwanted by the people who were already
established in this land.
This did not stop our forefathers from doing as they
wished, and to have what they wanted, even if it meant
terrorizing, stealing, imprisoning, killing men, women,
and children, promises/treaties that were broken, greed,
racism, and more.
We labeled some of the people already in this land as
savages.
The very types of problems many wanted to leave
behind in their country of origin were perpetrated on the
people who were already in this land.
Even if those forefathers engaged in perpetrating these
types of crimes against humanity were a small percentage
of the population, they obviously had enough power and
control to get the job done. In many cases, the country
labeled them "hero's."
I agree that there are those who are illegal in this country
that are criminals of all types, but I don't believe that it can
be concluded that all illegal persons are here to perpetrate
crimes.


My thinking is, is it possible that in the process of trying
to respond to real problems, such as immigration, terror-
ism, drugs, racism, violence, gangs, etc., we are forgetting
our own past, and behaving arrogantly and without com-
passion or consideration towards those who honestly
want to have a better life.
Is it possible that as a country, we are reaping what our
forefathers planted?
Consider this.
The human being is not the problem, behavior is. It
doesn't matter what the culture, language, color of skin,
religious preference, ethnicity, race, or any other distin-
guishing characteristic is.
Let's fix the problems, and do so in a manner that would
be pleasing to God.
Let us hold to one nation under God, let's not repeat his-
tory.

Renew license on-line

This is in response to the ranter who stated that his dri-
ver's license was suspended because it had expired, as no
Department of Motor Vehicles between NewYork andVero
Beach would extend his license.
There must be a "Rest of the story" somewhere.
Florida allows driver's licenses to be renewed 18 months
prior to expiration. This requires planning ahead.
My driver's license expires in October.
With the hurricane season ahead, I just renewed my
license on line by accessing myflorida.com, and clicking
on "Go Renew," for $20 with a motorcycle endorsement.
The Internet can be accessed from anywhere, at any
time. It made renewing my license very easy.
I hope this helps someone.
The direct link to renew on-line is:
express.hsmv.state.fl.us/Express_Lane.

The future is what counts

Mrs. Clinton should keep her big mouth shut, because
her husband pardoned Mr. Rich.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Does that mean that it is OK to do something wrong
because someone did it in the past?
How far back do we go?
Can future presidents start a war for a false reason,
costing thousands of lives because some president did it
in the past?
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Let's get this country, and this world, back on track..
Let's look to the future and not the past.
Let's work together to do it.

I like my freebies

Regarding the rant about newspapers cluttering drive-
ways, I enjoy my freebie papers. There's a lot to use from
them, and to learn from them.
If you don't read yours, toss them in the recycle bin for
papers, along with the ones you subscribe to.
As for neighbors' papers that pile up when they are not
there, the delivery people should not drop a paper if they
see that they are piling up.
Obviously the deliverer should not drop another paper
if h'e/she sees that they are not being picked up. He should
hold off dropping more.
It is only common sense.

Huh? Immigration Problem?

Figuring that I'm outnumbered probably 40-1, I'll prob-
ably get ripped for this, but week after week I read the

Rants
From page A6
rants and raves about illegal immigrants.
I picture these ranters pulling into their big, beautiful
homes in wonderful St.Lucie West that once was lush
woods harboring animals of all kinds, or pulling into their
huge condos on Hutchinson Island where there once was
a two-track trail that led a few others and myself to our
favorite surf spots.
These spots are now inaccessible due to private proper-
ty.
I wonder, who's doing this?
Well it's not the immigrant from our neighboring coun-
tries or islands. It's from our legal immigrants from the
North.
I'm a Florida native originally from West Palm Beach,
and came to Port St. Lucie in 1982.
It was you from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, etc.,
etc. that pushed us out of West Palm Beach, and are now
pushing us further north where the majority of us true
southerners despise going.
How is it that the complaints didn't start until you flood-

South Florida has always been a refuge for people from
Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and so and so forth.
I have never had any problems with them.
It's you, from the North, that have created many prob-
lems here, too many to list.
And now, the constant complaints.
If you notice, I haven't said anything about you going
home. Just stop complaining.
If it's that important to you, you're wasting your time
writing all these complaints to the Rants and Raves about
it.
I think we would've all loved to stay home.
Now I have to finish packing to seek refuge from y'all.
Please enjoy my hometown, and watch that which is left
on the next north swell.
Adios amigos!!
Grousing Guru
Although Grammy Guru's column is usually laden with
tasty recipes, I found the column on July 13 to be quite
contrary.
I felt the comments about her co-worker, Al, were taste-
less.
It left me questioning who gave the final OK to print
that column.
It may have been have been well intended, but it came
across snide and hurtful.
I would like to extend my own apology to Al.
Considering all the wonderful ingredients Grammy
Guru uses in her recipes, she doesn't have an ounce of
tact.

Response from the Grammy Guru
Ispoke toAl at the z anniversary party, and on the phone
to tell him I was writing a column addressed to him.
He said, "Thank you, I really appreciate it."
Idid the column with love, not with malice.
Anyone who knows me, and follows my column would
surely know that.

Taxpayers always on losing side
I am tired of all the excuses given by our government
officials.
Our representatives need to demand honesty and
integrity of themselves and all others, including federal,


state, county and local officials. We should be demanding
it of ourselves as well.
The press has the responsibility and duty to monitor,
question, investigate and inform people.
The majority has failed us.
On the local scene, the county and local governments
are bemoaning the loss of tax revenue.
I had long ago tried to get developers to pay the true
cost of additional infrastructure and services in their
impact fees.
We all know they didn't.
They raised our taxes to offset these costs.
Developers won and we lost, and we will continue to
lose.
Enough is enough.
immigrants than we could economically handle, quotas
were established for all foreign nations and these stated
plainly in immigration laws.
We still have "legal immigration" in this country and we
give legal immigrants everything they are due, much
more than we gave in the past.
If an individual enters this country legally, he/she is
afforded all the protections guaranteed under our immi-
gration laws, but if an individual sneaks across some bor-
der illegally and enters this country illegally, they are enti-
tiled to nothing and should not be welcomed or assisted in
any way.
They should be deported immediately and any unborn
children, conceived outside the United States should be
considered an illegal alien as well.
If we do not correct this situation, we will live to regret
it.
Immigrants, Americans should obey rules
To compare these illegal (aliens) to honest Scots, Irish,
Germans, Italians, etc., who applied for citizenship
through the proper channels, and who waited a long time
to become a part of this great country, is insulting to all of
us.
To allow people to cross our borders illegally, and
accept it, will only eventually make us a Third World
country.
Let's keep America great by having all people live by the
rules.
Don't trust 'traditional' government
to fix all U.S. problems
For all the Bush bashers and Bush lovers ... enough
already.
Republicans and Democrats are both right and both
wrong.
That's why it's so easy to (argue) about who is right, who
is wrong, who did what or who didn't do enough.
Take a serious look at (presidential candidate) Ron Paul.
I'm not a Republican and I'm not a Democrat.
I think for myself and I get my news from sources other
than the "idiot box."
The economy is not great.
You just think it is. You're just told it is. The dollar is
almost worthless. I don't get how you think everything is
so wonderful.
Your Constitutional rights are evaporating right before
your closed eyes.
Read the immigration bill that Bush tries to pass every
other week.
It's not only amnesty, it gives a free pass to criminals,
gang members, child rapists and much worse. Read the
press release that Sen. (Jeff) Sessions ( R-Alabama)
released about the 20 flaws he discovered in the bill


(http://sessions.senate.gov/pressapp/newreleases.cfm).
Both Florida Senators voted in favor of it and both
should be voted out of office.
I've been all over this country, but I've never lived some-
where where everyone is in such denial as Brevard Coun-
ty.
Enjoy the beaches, enjoy your boats, enjoy your pools,
enjoy your nonsense electronic devices.
You're all in debt, so you're all at risk.
If you look at all the taxes and fees you pay, you'll find
that you give 50 percent of your income to the govern-
ment, local or federal.
Government doesn't run us, we run them. Once you get
on-board with that, things will get better.
Make your voice heard. If you don't, you might just find
yourself in another version of the Great Depression
Get some REAL news from www.Infowars.com or
www.PrisonPlanet.com.
If you don't believe what I'm saying or don't want to
believe it, I suggest you cut this letter out and tape it to
your fridge.
Then wait and watch what happens.
Don't let up on immigration laws
I am against the amnesty bill that (Sen.) Ted Kennedy
and his crowd tried to bulldoze through the U.S. Senate.
Thankfully, it was withdrawn from consideration for the
rest of this Congressional session.
Unfortunately, many people have an "us and them" atti-
tude and seem to have aimed it at Hispanics.
Just because the Mexican/U.S. border happens to be
where our biggest security problem is, does not mean that
Hispanics are the only people that the immigration laws
apply to, nor does it mean that Hispanics are the only
ones who violate those laws.
We have people from all over the world who are in this
country illegally.
It makes no difference to me what nationality the folks
are, nor what language they speak. The problem lies in
what they do to this country economically when that seg-
ment of society numbers in the millions.
There are Web sites that give statistics showing the mil-
lions of dollars that all of these people cost the U.S. tax-
payer.
(There are) two things that the supporters of the illegal
aliens (say that) don't wash with me.
One is that they do jobs that most Americans won't do.
That is pure hogwash.
The second is that we can't round up 12 million people
and ship them out or put them in prison.
What we can do is secure our borders and keep the
number from increasing to 30 or 40 million, while we
decrease the 12 million over the next few years, by (hav-
ing) the Border Patrol enforce border security and ICE
enforce the law for illegal employment.
Keep the fire lit under the politicians so they will. not
give our country and our culture away. Once it is gone, it
will never be recovered.
Time to get rid of Bush before it's too late
They say history repeats itself.
The next so-called "terrorist attack" (could) be history
repeating itself.
Maybe it'll happen Sept. 11, 2007, and then Bush can
declare martial law. This will only be another step toward
(a) Bush dictatorship.
There'll be camps established for all citizens who
oppose Bush. Bush will control all the media. The Con-
gress and Senate will cease to exist and all weapons will be

Bigotry can be a problem even at automobile dealerships


Obviously, bigotry
exists world wide
among some
employees of all business-
es and some of their
customers, not just in car
dealerships.
I have to confess that I
have underestimated the
problem over the years.
I was born in 1940 and
grew up among lots of
prejudice and bigotry.
Through education and
legislation there were lots
of improvements in our
society. Up until a few
short years ago, I thought
we were coming very close
to a virtually prejudice-
free society. I think I may
have been overly opti-
mistic.
A few years ago, I
established a firm policy
at my dealership that all
phone calls would be put
through directly to the
person being called. This
included me. Nobody in
my company has a secre-
tary that screens calls. The
telephone receptionist will
not ask you who is calling
or what the nature of your
call is. She will simply put
the call straight through.
If an employee is not in
the dealership, the call is
automatically transferred
to his cell phone.
After this, I added four
red phones strategically
located for maximum
access to my customers.
One is outside in the
service drive. One is in the
service customer waiting
lounge, right next to the'
cashier. One is on the
receptionist's desk right in
the middle of our show-
room. The last red phone
is in the body shop waiting
room. There is a sign next
to each phone, 'vith my
picture, that says to pick
up the phone if we have
not exceeded your expec-
tations.
I think you will agree
that this gives my cus-
tomers better access to the
owner and managers of
my business than any
other business you know.
So, what has all that got
to do with the subject of
this article, "Bigotry in car
dealerships?"
Because I am "in the
trenches," I can tell you
that a disproportionate
number of complaints
come from minorities and
those who speak English
with an accent. I estimate
that about 20 percent of
my customers fall into this
category, but customer
complaints from this
group are more than 50
percent.
For a while, I thought
that this some kind of
fluke. Then I even consid-
ered whether minorities
and people, whose pri-
mary language was other

than English, just com-
plained more. But that
simply is not logical. I
finally decided it was a
communication problem.
These people were unable
to make themselves
clearly understood by my
employees and vice versa.
But I'm not sure that is the
entire reason.
You may have seen my
latest TV advertisement in
which I speak Spanish
with English subtitles. As
you know, the Hispanic
population of South,
Florida is among the
largest in the U.S. Most of
these Hispanic-Americans
are fluent in English and
watch conventional
English speaking TV
channels. The reason I did
the commercial in Spanish
was to signal my respect
for their culture.
If you have traveled
abroad, you know that
most foreigners speak
English in addition to their
native tongue. But when
you address them in their
own language, even a few
simple phrases, it pleases
them very much that you
would go to this trouble.
In the TV ad, I simply
say that I admire and
respect the positive
impact that Hispanics
have on our culture and
economy and I invite
them to visit our dealer-
ship. I added the English
subtitles because the vast
majority of the viewers
don't speak Spanish and I
wanted them to under-
stand the purpose of my
advertisement.
The ad began running
a week ago and I have
been surprised and
shocked by the negative
phone calls and e-mails I
have received. There have
not been a lot, but they

beings because of their
language, country of
origin, religion or color of

years to come.
Draw your own conclu-
sions from my observa-
tions in this article, and

customers) as happy as I

have come in steadily
every day. There are more
people in South Florida
than I realized who resent
Hispanics.
They tell me that they
are insulted 1 would allow
a Spanish language ad to
run on the TV set in their
living room, and that they
would never buy a car
from me. Some miss the
point of the commercial
entirely and tell me that,
"those Hispanics should
learn to speak English!"
I can't figure out why
they think Hispanic
people are watching
WPTV News channel 5
news if they don't under-
stand English. They do.
Many, if not most, speak
English.
I also hear a lot of
people who say they can't
stand the phone record-
ings that say, "touch one
for English," etc. I don't
quite see how that relates
to my TV ad. Perhaps the
most disturbing phenom-
enon has been comments
from friends of mine who
feel strongly.that the only
language that should be
permitted to be spoken in
America is English.
I don't want to get
political on this. I can't
afford to take sides in a
political debate because
I'm a businessman. My
goal in advertising in
Spanish is to sell more
Toyotas. Toyota happens
to be the No. 1 choice of
Hispanics in America. A
higher percentage of
Hispanics drive Toyotas
than non-Hispanics.
Toyota ran the very first
Spanish speaking spot in
the Super Bowl.
The vice president of
marketing responsible for
this was James Farley, who
now heads the Lexus
division of Toyota. He sent
me an e-mail when he saw
my Hispanic ad, congratu-
lating me and telling me
that the feedback he
received from his Spanish
Super Bowl ad was that it
made the Hispanic
community very proud
and increased their trust
in Toyota.

draw any kind of a conclu-
sion, because understand-

Cambodia offers many mystical, spiritual, ancient sights


I never really thought of
going to Cambodia.
When 1 set up a group
tour of Singapore, Bali
and Thailand last spring, I
thought why not? We'd be
in the neighborhood and
maybe it was time to see
the temples of Angkor.
It didn't take long to
realize it was the right
choice.
Our journey began when
we flew from Bangkok to
Siem Reap. Upon arrival,
we lined up for our visas.
Immediately, I noticed
most people had visa
photos with them and I
thought, "How did I miss
that?"
Would I have to beg for
,mercy at immigration to
get my group through, or
would my "everything will
work out" traveling adage
come true again.
Nervously, I went first
and found that visas cost
$20 with a photo and $22

without.
That was a bargain and a
relief.
Soon we all had our
visas and sailed through
onto Cambodian soil.
After meeting our driver,
we took in downtown
Siem Reap.
We passed many fine
hotels and saw even more
being built. Clearly, the
big hotels had bet Angkor
Wat would become the
new "it" place for tourists.
If you've been to Egypt,
Peru and India, you're
probably looking for the
next tier of spectacular
sights, such as Bhutan,
Petra and Angkor.
By the number of
tourists we saw the next
day, I would say the hotels
had won their bet.
As for us, we headed to
Angkor Village Resort and
Spa for our stay.
Upon entering, we were
overwhelmed by the lush
gardens, ponds, foun-
tains, dark woods, bright
tapestries and smiling
faces. It was such a lovely
oasis,s and we were
delighted.
Then we went to our
charming canopied
bedrooms, complete with

huge bathrooms, all
overlooking a narrow pool
that wound endlessly
through the resort.
We had just found
ourselves a little piece of
paradise.
After a swim, we set off
for a dinner show featur-
ing traditional Cambodi-
an dances. It was colorful
and lively, but we made it
an early evening since we
had a full day of touring
planned.
After breakfast, we met
our guide and set off to
see Siem Reap's main
attraction, the 12th
century temples of
Angkor.


As we drove into the
huge complex, we headed
to Angkor Thom first. The
problem was, everyone
else did, too.
People were streaming
through the majestic
Buddha-faced gates on
bikes, tuk-tuks, elephants,
buses and on foot.
It was noisy and hectic.
Despite the crowds,
what we saw was amaz-
ing. After all, to be in the
presence of so many
serene faces of the Bud-
dha puts you at ease.
By the time we got to the
main temple, we had seen
216 Buddhas in all.
Climbing through
Angkor Thorn, we passed
many of the 11,000 carved
bas-reliefs, depicting
ancient Cambodia life. It
was certainly impressive.
Afterward, we rode an
elephant, prayed with
some of the local monks -
and did a bit of shopping.
Next, we were off to
Angkor Wat, the world's
largest religious structure.
Dedicated to the Hindu
god Vishnu, its design
symbolizes mythical
Mount Meru and the
creation story.
We began our spiritual


journey by crossing the
temple moat and then
winding through the
passageways and shrines
of AngkorWat.
Once we climbed the
steep steps to the central
tower symbolizing the
mountain, we completed
our journey.
After the climb, we were
hot and tired, but in awe
of the experience.
After lunch and a swim,
we headed to Ta Prohm.
This Buddhist temple
was the most magical of
all. Unlike the other well-
preserved Angkor sites,
this temple was overrun
by the jungle. The roots of
the indigenous Sal trees
had torn the complex
apart, creating an amaz-
ing maze to wander
through.
"Lara Croft: Tomb
Raider" was filmed here,
and our guide confessed
he named one daughter
Angelina after the famous
star.
With the sun setting and
the day cooling, we found
it hard to leave this
compelling site.
The next day some of us
went back to Angkor Wat
for sunrise, while others

There were floating

We wanted to stay

this season.
Being a hockey player in
Florida hasn't been the 6asi-
.est thing for Wolfe, but it is
paying off now.
"It was hard to play down
here. There are only like five
rinks in whole state," said
Wolfe, who would some-
times have to travel to Mel-
bourne or-Coral Gables just
to practice.
"(Signing the contract)
made me feel really good
because I'm a kid growing
up in Florida and going up
to New York. There are not a
whole lot of people (who do
that)."


It was his third profession-
al tryout since graduation,
and first at the Junior A level.
Jackals coach Adam Stio
immediately noticed the tal-
ent thatWolfe possessed and
offered him a contract with-
in a few days of the tryout.
"The biggest thing you can
look at in players are passion
and tenacity because he's
not the tallest or strongest
player," Stio said of the 5-
foot, 8-inch, 145-pound
wing. "He definitely has a
big heart. Every time he got
knocked over he got right
back up. That's what defines
a player to me."


Making the jump to pro-
fessional hockey in the
northeast from youth hock-
ey in Florida will be quite a
jump for Wolfe, but he
thinks he can handle it. He
went into the tryout know-
ing he was going to be facing
players who have been play-
ing against much better
competition, and that he
would have to rely on his
speed and scoring ability to
make himself noticed.
A natural scorer, Wolfe
compares himself to a Sid-
ney Crosby (of the Pitts-
burgh Penguins) type play-
er, because he is always


around the net making
plays and never slowing
down.
"I had to skate my ass off,"
Wolfe said of his tryout. "A
lot of times you wanted to
stop, but you had to just
keep going skating."
When the Jackals season is
over in April, Wolfe hopes to
either re-sign or earn a hock-
ey scholarship with a school
knfwn for producing play-
ers.
But first he will head north
to represent the Treasure
Coast for the Ehnira Junior
Jackals.
SaidWolfe: "It's going to be
awesome."

If you require a treatment for chronic pain, you
may meet the criteria to participate in a research

To participate, you must be 40 to 80 years of age.

Qualified participants will receive study-related

tion for time and travel.

should pay for it," he said.
Mr. DiTerlizzi said he
does not currently have
information from the Con-
vention and Visitors
Bureau to determine
whether the revenue to the
county generated by
tourists visiting the air
show would exceed the
$40,000 expense.
"We don't see the hote-
liers numbers; nobody
shows us anything," he
said. "There's got to be
transparency in this. It
can't be guessing at num-'
bers."
Mr. DiTerlizzi said he
plans on meeting with
representatives of the
Convention and Visitors
Bureau to review those
statistics.
The VNA Air Show began
in 1991. Last year, more
than 50,000 visitors
attended the show, which


cost approximately
$373,000 to produce and
netted about $110,000.
However, in 2005, the
show netted $51,000 and
in 2004, the show operat-
ed at a loss.
An additional concern
is the possibility of rain
forcing the cancellation
of the show. There are no
rain dates set for the VNA
Air Show, so bad weather
would result in a loss to
the VNA of the $373,000
cost of putting on the
show.
Other cuts to the air-
port budget contained in
the county's proposed
2008 budget include the
elimination of a clerical
position that is expected
to save $36,078 annually
and the elimination of a
flight-tracking system
with a savings of $26,000.

Mr. Lawson, most recent-
ly a resident of Lauderdale
Lakes, was charged on June
16 with committing a lewd
and lascivious act in the
presence of a child. He
allegedly forced the child,
the daughter of a friend of
his, to touch him inappro-
priately after exposing him-
self to her, and then threat-
ened to harm her if she told
what happened.
The child later told her
father what happened.
Mr. Lawson, who report-
edly changed his first name
and his birth date in the
years after the warrant was
issued, was released from
Martin County Jail on July
17 after $50,000 bail was
posted.

Don't let stress mess with goals in life


A at is the second
W most important
V treasure of life?
The first and most
important, of course, is
to have been born, grow
up and live a long and
healthy life.
The second is to turn
away from the stress and
burnout of the outer
world, go inside, open up
the heart and let truth,
purpose and passion flow
up from within our souls
and set it free.
The universal power at
birth tucks a supreme
idea inside the spirit of
everyone on earth.
We are all children of a
supreme creative power
and heirs to a rich her-
itage to live a peaceful,
loving, healthy, abun-
dant, faithful, creative
and joy filled life. It has
little to do with age,
privilege, wealth, educa-
tion, experience or luck.
It has everything to do
with taking the plunge
and finding our true
purpose and call of
destiny.
The process starts
when we grow tired of
being at war with our-
selves or others, stop the
inner struggle and begin
to surrender to our
deeper spiritual self. '
Every healthy thing in
life has to flow.
The Dead Sea has water
flowing in, but none
flowing out. Life can't
exist there. The water is
polluted. Fish or vegeta-
tion can't live in such an
unfriendly environment.
When our heart or
spirit speaks inner truth
to us through our
instincts and intuition,
but our head or ego get in
the way and talk us out of
this inner wisdom, we get
polluted, sidetracked,
stuck or lost.

This is usually caused
by lack of self-esteem,
fear, anxiety, guilt,
disbelief or sadness.
These are like weeds in
the garden of the mind
that consume our life
force and spirit, rob us of
our promise and burn us
out.
If you were a farmer
and fed the weeds, you
would go broke. Don't
feed the weeds.
Create a new cause,
mission, goal or purpose
and feed that. It's all
about the choices we
make as we travel the
river of life.
Problems and hope-
lessness live in the mind
and are usually caused by
not listening to inner
truth, taking positive
action and resisting the
flow.
Have you given up
hope?
The solutions to all of
life's challenges live
inside our hearts and
spirits right now. It's time
to rise up from our
slumber, awaken, trans-
form from the lower to
the higher nature and
become all we came here
to become.
To get in the flow, eat a
healthy diet, exercise and
sleep well.
Next, think positive
thoughts, open up the
heart and listen to the
inner guidance. Surren-
der to and let it work for
you and through you.
This creates patience,
trust and faith.
You can do it. You were
born to do it. Your free-
dom, health and h;appi-
ness depend on ;t. No
one can do it for.you. The
freedom lives within your
heart and spirit.

Gratitude and thank-

humbleness and humili-

goes on and we begin to

Creative ideas emerge
that we know will work

Getting your computer to'lock up'


can sometimes be a good thing


'1


r, -d

Does your computer
"lock up" when you
step away from
your machine?
In today's climate of high
security consciousness, it's
surprising to me just how
many people answer, "no."
If you use a computer in
an environment that has
any number of people
coming and going, locking
your machine when you
step away really is a good
habit to get into.
I know what a lot of you
are thinking, "Why should
I lock up? The only people
around here are folks I
trust. Why should I lock up
every time I step away?"
The answer is you can
never be too cautious.
When you leave your
desktop unlocked you
become vulnerable, not
only to someone walking


up to your machine and
stealing your private
information. That's what
most people think about
when they think about the
reasons for locking up.
An even more practical
reason is to protect the
machine from getting
messed up accidentally by
someone you kAow and
trust, such as a child or
anyone else who might not
know what they are doing.
For instance, I had a
caller recently who
stepped away from her
keyboard to run tp the
store and didn't lock up.
Her kids were home with
guests, all trusted adults.
When she returned, she
found one of the guests
had gotten on the machine
and downloaded and
installed a bunch of stuff
in her quest to instant

message a friend online.
All of this was innocent
enough, but now the
system had additional
toolbars installed, an
instant messenger client
popping up all the time
and the browser's start
page had been changed.
Boy was this lady frus-
trated.
After spending some
time cleaning her system
and putting things back
the way she liked them, we
went over some basic
security options that make
securing, or locking, her
machine quick and easy.
First, each user account
should be set with a
password. You can set the
password for your account
in Windows by going to the
control panel, then user
accounts. Pick a password
that's easy to remember,
but hard for someone to
guess (avoid "12345" or
birthdays of family mem-
bers.
Next, get into the habit
of locking up right before
you step away.
On Windows machines,
if you hit "ctrl + alt + del"
and then immediately hit
enter, that will lock the
machine.
Ctrl, alt, del brings up a
menu with "lock" as the
option highlighted; hitting
enter executes whatever is
highlighted, so in this case,
the computer locks.
Another option is to use
the screen saver to lock
when activated.
The only problem is that

there is usually a period of
time before it actually
locks and in that time
anyone can stop it from
locking just by moving the
mouse.
Another objection
people have to locking
their machine is they don't
want to have to enter their
password again and again
every time they return to
their machine.
It's a small price to pay,
but worth it.
If you really don't want
to have to enter your
password all the time,
there are ways to have
your system recognize you
as you without having to
type a password.
You can get a relatively
inexpensive USB finger-
print reader. Some laptops
are available with this as a
built in feature.
Or, if you have aWeb
cam hooked up to your
PC, you can try a program
such as Banana Security's
BananaScreen software
that compares your face to
a previous snapshot, and if
it's you sitting in front of
the keyboard, it unlocks it
for you. If it doesn't, for
whatever reason, you still
have the option to type in
your password. Banana
Screen is available for
download at
www.bananasecurity.com,
but keep in mind it's a beta
program so it may not
work right 100 percent of
the time. Beta software is
still in the testing and
refinement stage.
If it works, great, if it
doesn't, remember they're
still working on it.
I've got it running on
one of my machines and,
for the most part, it works
pretty well. The screen
locks after about a minute
after I step away from the
screen and when I come
back, it recognizes my face
and unlocks the computer.
Pretty cool.

ornamentals can still be a
challenge during the
summer.
How successful you are
in keeping your garden
looking great can depend
largely on the plants that
you choose to place in
your garden.

Marigolds
During the summer, one
of my favorite annuals to
plant is the marigold.
These sturdy plants
come in several varieties
whose size can vary from
6-inch dwarfs up to 3 feet
tall.
Marigolds vary in color
from a bright yellow to
orange and they boast
extremely deep coloring
characteristics. Marigold
leaves are fine in texture
and look almost fern-like.
You can use marigolds
in many different ways in
your landscape.
You can use them in
masses for a dramatic

color accent. They are also
great as an edging around
garden decorations, trees
and along walkways.
Marigolds can also be
grown in containers.
You can either purchase
marigolds already grown
in 4-inch or 1-gallon
containers ready for
transplant or you can
easily start them from
seed.
You will probably find
some of the harder
varieties to locate in seed
form, since most retailers
stick with the basic types.
When transplanting


your marigolds, place the
plant in the ground
slightly deeper then it was
originally in the retail
container. Be sure to use a
good quality potting mix
when planting.
Once your plants are
established, be sure to
remove the spent flower
heads in order to promote
new blossoms.

Periwinkle

If you want to go with a
hardy ground cover, you
might want to try periwin-
kle.
These plants are quite
hardy and boast an
evergreen broadleaf stem
structure with single
flowers with a color range
from purple to blue. They
are also available in white.
These plants will do best
when planted in partial
shade and will do well in a
well-draining sandy soil.
They should be planted
in areas where standing
water might be a problem
on a regular basis. The
plants can grow up to'
around 6 inches high, but
they will also tend to

lives in Palm City, was noti-
fied that he won third place
in the national contest.
Mr. Russell, 35, owns a
promotional advertising
company. However, he said
the experience of making
the video for this contest
has made him rethink his
choice of careers.
"I've been contemplating
getting into the video field
now," said Mr. Russell.
"I had so much fun doing
it, and the video thing is
kind of a hobby for me. I'm
self-taught on the soft-
ware," he said.
Mr. Russell said he pro-
duced the video without
any assistance, in many
cases using a tripod to set
up the camera he used.
The video showcases Mr.
Russell's body attached to a
large, distorted head.


"Basically, it's my upside-
down chin and my eyes. I
sang the song once with
my mouth and then
flipped it upside down on
the computer," said Mr.
Russell.
"Then I masked off an
area on my head, acted out
the movement with my
eyes, and put it on top of
my head using computer-
ized distortion effects," he
said.
The resulting character
on the video, which Mr.
Russell named "Sea Mon-
key Man," is shown in vari-
ous locations and while
driving a car, sitting in a
jacuzzi and standing in a
boiling pot of water sur-
rounded by fire, all the
while lip-synching to "Des-
tiny Calling."
"Samsung used my video


to market the contest, so I
guess they liked the little
guy," said Mr. Russell.
The first-place winner of
the contest, Tim Ressin,
may choose one of two
grand prizes: a two night,
round-ticket trip to Los
Angeles for four, plus tick-
ets too concert of the win-
ner's choice in Los Angeles
and a $3,000 shopping
spree or $16,500 worth of
professional audio equip-
ment.
Mr. Russell said coming
in third qualified him for a
"first place" prize of a Sony
UpStage phone.
Although the contest has
now ended, the winning
videos can still be seen on
www.youtube.com. To see

spread out as they grow.
For this reason, I would
classify them as a ground
cover.
Periwinkle is easy to
plant. Simply pick out
your favorite colors at
your local nursery and you
are ready to go. Choose a
location that does not
have frequently standing
water and also, use an
area that is in partial
shade.
The main problems that


periwinkle can encounter
are canker and dieback.
Although not particular-
ly frequent, canker can
cause the shoots to turn a
dark brown, wilt and
eventually die. Allowing
the plant to be in standing
water or overly moist soil
can often cause this
problem. That is why it is
important to plant in well-
drained soil.
As with all plants, water
as needed before the soil


becomes "caked."
Be sure to follow all local
water restrictions that are
in place for your area.

Romantic dinners marred by


fight with the main course


With our "XTREM1E WHEEL REPAIR MACHINE"


ARLENE BORG
Grammy Guru

H ello, smart shoppers.
HA short lobster season
has just passed, so
lobsters it is!
In the past, I checked with
several chefs to find the most
humane way to kill a lobster.
The answer was, "Plunge
them head first into boiling
water."
Yeah, right.
A reader wrote to me
saying, "Put the lobster in the
freezer, he will slowly go to
sleep before he expires."
Painless. Wish I knew this
before.
You guessed it; this column
comes with a story.
A few times a year, I would
plan a romantic dinner for
my husband and I.
Then we each wore an
outrageous outfit befitting
the occasion'. (I highly
recommend putting this into
practice).
My late husband, Bill,
always did things in a big
way. If a little was enough,
more was better.
One time, lobster was the
dinner choice and the day
before our special evening,
Bill came home with "the
lobster," a 14-pound mon-
ster.
The next morning I began
preparing the lobster to be
ready to broil that evening. I
decided to kill the lobster in
boiling water since the other
choice was to insert a knife
into the center of its body.
This brought back unpleas-
ant memories of claws
reaching up and surrounding
the knife (and my hands).
I was alone in the house as
I brought a huge canning pot
filled with water to a boil.
Picture this: A 5-foot, 2-
inch tall woman, weighing
less than 120 pounds in front
of a pot that reaches her
chest. I plunged the sleepy
creature, head first into the
boiling water, and 'covered
the pot.
Suddenly, he decided, "I
want outta' here!"
Spreading his huge claws
he began ascending to
heaven. It was a battle and he
was winning.
I had no choice but to
continue, since releasing the
cover would cover me with
boiling water.
As the pot was shaking, my
arms were vibrating from the
extreme force of this crea-
ture.
What was only a few
minutes seemed like hours
until finally he succumbed.
I was totally hysterical and
felt this dinner idea was a.
bad one.
Finally, he was ready to be
broiled later that evening.
Although the evening, the
music the ambiance and "my
honey" were perfect, I
couldn't eat a bite.
Every time I closed my eyes
I could see this creature
fighting for his life. The moral
of the story: Have many
romantic, candlelight
dinners and never buy a
lobster weighing more than
2-1/2 pounds!
Try asking for the lobster
shells when eating out; the
reaction is priceless. The
question, "What are you
going to do with them?"
Of course then comes the
story of the great sauce and
invariably a quick scribbling
of the recipe.
To Your Health: To clarify
butter, simply melt it; use the
clear part and discard the
foamy solids left in the pan.
Reportedly, clarified butter
will not create digestive
problems for those afflicted
with lactose intolerance.

BOILED LOBSTER
(NIB)
1 lobster per person, 1 to
1 1/4 pounds
Salt, about 1 tablespoon
per ,quart of water


Clarified butter or Smart

again, reduce heat and
simmer for about 20 min-
utes.
Serve with clarified butter
and a wedge of fresh lemon.

BROILED LOBSTER
(NIB)
1 lobster per person, 1 to
1 1/4pounds
Clarified butter or Smart
Balance, melted
Fresh lemon juice
Paprika
Salt and pepper
Kill lobster as explained
previously.
Using a sharp knife, split
open on the underside from
head to tail. Discard craw
near head and remove black
vein running down tail.
Brush meat with melted
butter and lemon juice,
sprinkle with seasonings.
Broil 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve with melted butter
and wedges of fresh lemon.

LOBSTER IN
MARINARA SAUCE
(NIB)
SERVES FOUR
Save body and shells from
lobsters.
Prepare Marinara sauce.
Add shells and cook for
about 20 minutes longer.
Discard any empty shells.
The little legs are delicious.
Using a biting-sucking
technique, you can extract
delicious morsels of meat.

crushed tomatoes with
added puree or 1 large
can whole tomatoes,

1/4 cup extra virgin olive
oil

Get mother, baby off to good


start with basic care


Recently read a booklet
put out by Speaking of
Women's Health, an
initiative sponsored by
consumer products
companies to promote
women's health and safety
at all ages.
Reading it reminded me
that I have never written
about pregnancy and
health. Here are some
important health tips from
the organization for those
thinking about becoming
pregnant or already
expecting a baby.
Smoking: You should
stop smoking if you are
planning a pregnancy.
This is a great reason to
stop and a great gift for
i your child. If you find you
I are pregnant, get help in
stopping as soon as
possible.
Smoking while pregnant
increases the risk of
miscarriage and of low-
weight babies, who often
have health problems,
including immature lungs.
Smoke also passes
through the placenta
during pregnancy, pre-
venting food and oxygen
from reaching the baby.
For more tips on stop-
ping smoking, especially
during pregnancy, visit the
American Lung Associa-
tion Web site at www. lun-
gusa.org.
*Visit a doctor: Seek
prenatal care as soon as
you think you're pregnant.


If you are planning a
pregnancy, talk to your
doctor about health and
nutrition to give your


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
pregnancy a healthy start.
* Eat right: Good nutri-
tion is vital. Eat whole
grains, low-fat foods and
plenty of lean protein,
fruits and vegetables. Low-
fat milk and cheese add
calcium to help your
baby's bones.
* Drink right: Drink extra
fluid, particularly water, to
help your body keep up
with increases in blood
volume. Drink between six
to eight glasses of water,
milk or fruit juice a day.
* Vitamins: Your health
care provider will probably
tell you to take special
prenatal vitamins that will
help the baby develop
properly.
You may also be told to
take folic acid before and
during the first weeks of
pregnancy to reduce the
risks of birth defects of the
brain and spine. Many
foods now contain added
folic acid; ask your health
care provider if you need
more. That's one impor-
tant reason for seeing a
doctor immediately if you
think you are pregnant.
* Limit caffeine and
avoid alcohol: There isn't a
"safe" level of alcohol for a
pregnant woman. Caffeine
should also be limited. Try
flavored water, herb tea or
caffeine-free soda instead.
* Exercise: Physical
activity is important at all
times in your life and
pregnancy is no exception.


However, it is important
to talk to your health care
provider about what
exercises are appropriate
and safe at different stages
of your pregnancy. You
may have to change your
routine to lessen the
impact on your baby.
Discuss with your health
care provider exercises
that may help make
delivery easier.
* Gaining weight: The
amount of weight a
woman should gain
during pregnancy has
changed several times. At
one time, it was thought
that the more weight
gained the better. Today,
doctors generally recom-
mend that a woman who
starts her pregnancy at a
normal weight gain
between 25-35 pounds
during pregnancy. Spread
over nine months, that's
not a lot!
* Body talk: It's impor-
tant to listen to your body.
Try to get rest when you
need it, and report any
symptom, such as cramp-
ing, bleeding, contracting,
shortness of breath or
swelling to your doctor or
midwife. Every symptom
is not a problem, but you
should discuss it.
There are many books
available to discuss all
stages of pregnancy and
birth. Many are available
at your local library.

from a recent article on
Martin County posted on
VISITFLORIDA.com's e-
magazine. She's also taking
her sales pitch on the road
as well.
"We just got back from a
seminar of travel agents in
the Orlando area to


confiscated and you'll lose
all the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution of the Unit-
ed States.
How do we rid America of
George W. Bush before it's
too late?
Can we wait until his term
is up?
Just think, he might refuse
to end his term and go for
another and another. Then
what?

Just the weather

I do not need 101 Meteo-
rology.
I do not need to know the
storm clouds are 10,000 feet
or higher.
I do not need to know that
there was 800 or more light-
ing strikes.
I need to know what the
weather will be and when
and where.
Florida should cancel
insurance authorization
If Florida authorizes
insurance companies to
issue policies, then why
when these insurance com-
panies cancel and refuse to
write homeowner's polices,
doesn't the state cancel its
authorization?

Iraq is a disaster

It drives me crazy when
people talk about Iraq and
say we are fighting "over
there so we don't have to
fight them here," as if it is
some sort of planned strate-
gy.
That was a talking point
written by Frank Luntz, the


acquaint them with Martin
County, and the response
was very enthusiastic," she
said.
"We are planning anoth-
er agent seminar in Fort
Lauderdale in several
weeks."
County economists want
to make sure that the econ-
omy stays strong.
The region received even
more unwanted notoriety
when a national database
of foreclosed properties
tallied 290 such listings in
June in St. Lucie County,
making it eighth-most in
the entire state.
In contrast, Martin


Republican pollster.
It is, literally, a slogan.
I find it pathetic that
people can bring them-
selves to utter that senti-
ment.
Osama Bin-Laden is still
at large, and his ftunda-
mentalist supporters in
many countries are surely
plotting more attacks
inside the U.S.
Our (best) defense is to
stop being Iraq's police
force and divert resources
to fixing our immigration
and intelligence programs.
It doesn't matter if the
U.S. leaves Iraq in three
months or three years, the
result will be the same. The
mainly Shiite Iraq govern-
ment will be friendly to
Iran. The Sunnis and the
Shiite will still hate each
other. There will be lots of
sectarian violence.
There are no solutions for
Iraq. There are only choices.
The U.S. needs to get out
and let the countries and
ethnic groups in that area
work it out. Millions of Iraqi
refugees are straining the
economies of neighboring
nations.
Every aspect of the situa-
tion is an unmitigated dis-
aster and keeping U.S.
troops there can't fix it. We
can only deal with the after-
math.
Moore's 'Sicko' is
must-see viewing

If you are a working indi-
vidual, you have to go see
the Michael Moore movie,
"Sicko."


County only had 66 fore-
closures reported for the
same month.
It would seem the Trea-
sure Coast's "economic
train," a nickname given
the local housing industry,
has finally derailed.
But Don Santos, owner of
Santos Construction Com-
pany in Port St. Lucie,
which does work in Martin
County, isn't disillusioned.
The past president of the
Treasure Coast Builders
Association is still upbeat,
in spite of significant
industry layoffs.
"The construction indus-
try is clown 40-50 percent


You have to see this
movie.

Stand up to
neighbor

To 'What to do about
inconsiderate neighbor,' I
(too) have been dumped on
by a very inconsiderate,
thoughtless neighbor for
20-plus years.
My neighbor pays to have
(her) lawn mowed. She
watched the mower-riding
guy turn around on my lawn
eight times, thanked (him)
and paid (him) for making
their front lawn look great
and left ugly gouges in my
front lawn. That was just fine
with her.
Years past, my neighbor
paid people to spray grass
and weed poison along their
chain-link fence. The person
killed my grass and my flow-
ers, too.
But that was OK with her.
Another time, the
thoughtless neighbor had a
sprinkler head put at the end
of their house, close to my
new stockade fence. They
ruined it with ugly water
stains.
But that was OK with
them.
1 had to replace the fence
at a cost of $600.
They would deliberately
ruin this one if I weren't ever
vigilant.
I had to the call the police
to keep the mower guy off
my property.
Homeowners beware.
Don't do as I did and wait 20
years before I said enough is
enough.
Take a stand now.


from a year ago, while resi-
dential construction is
down about 70 percent
over all," he explained.
"Commercial construc-
tion, not predominant in
our area up until the last
four years, has picked up


considerably; commercial
builders, vendors and sub-
contractors are not doing
too bad. On the other
hand, right now is a won-
derful time to be a buyer in
the housing market."
Unemployment rates,


1wYp4L IRik


Santos says, haven't
increased significantly as a
result of the industry's
problems, a factor he
attributes to the flexibility
of construction workers to
"pick up stakes and move
on."

The Elliott Museum
on Hutchinson
Island will hold its
last two lectures in its
"Summer Learning Series"
on Aug. 9 and Sept. 6.
On Aug. 9, Dr. Rachel
Wentz from the Florida
Public Archaeology
Network will talk about
her experiences at archae-
ological sites around
Florida and discuss
opportunities for Floridi-
ans to study and assist at
these outdoor living

On September 6, Elmira

Martin County schools for
many years and served as
a County Commissioner,
will give a talk called "I

of Martin County history
and happenings since
1962, when she moved

John Mercurio

Former Treasure Coast
resident John Mercurio,
whose musical "The

had its world premiere in
January when Shiloh
Theatrical Productions
presented it, writes that
things are going very well
in NewYork, where he
now lives and works.
He has done a reading of
a new play with music at
the York Theatre in New
York, and because the
production was so suc-
cessful, they will hold
another reading in
December in hopes of
finding producers to
mount a full production.
He is also writing a new
musical, "Glimpses of the.
Moon," based on the Edith
Wharton novel.
It will be produced at the
world-famous Algonquin
Hotel in NewYork in
October. He says all of that
is making for a busy

The Clayton Miller Band rocks

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer


The group is called The Clayton
Miller Band, but Clayton Miller is
just as happy to talk about his
younger brothers, Cole and L.D.,
who were finalists on the television
program, '"America's Got Talent."
"We've gotten great exposure

Week of 07-27-2007

Aries-March 21-April 19
You are truly amazing. You have a deep reservoir
of energy, skill and motivation that never runs dry.
You amaze yourself and others at times because
of this awesome inner strength. The higher power
made you the leader of the zodiac pack. You
always set the pace and get it done. For this, we all
are most grateful.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Life is always presenting challenges because of
your active lifestyle. How you handle them is the
key to your happiness and success. Work on fewer
and get more done. Quality is more important
than quantity. Your inner guidance will tell you
when you hear and trust it, Your spirit holds the
truth when you listen.

Gemini-May 21 -June 21
When you let the universal wisdom guide you, you


a lot of doors. It helped the band
out a lot to have 20 million people
hear about you."
In case you missed the television
show, the Miller brothers and their
dad, Larry, will bring their rock and
blues sound to the Lyric Theatre on
Aug. 4.
In a telephone interview from
their home in Lafayette, Ind., Clay-
ton Miller spoke about the band,


working with family and the
upcoming birth of his second
child.
The band, which has Clayton, 25,
on guitar and vocals; Cole, 22, on
drums and lead vocals; L.D., 13, on
harmonica; and dad, Larry, who's
"older," on bass, used to be called
The Clayton Miller Blues Band; but

make wise choices. When the lower will takes
over, fewer good things happen. Make a daily
accounting of your many blessings and give
thanks. This keeps the heart open and the inspira-
tions rising. Then make a mission of the things
that make you happy. This justifies your life.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Your strong spirit is a deep well of hope. It gives
you the grit and determination to keep on keeping
on when you have challenges to face and over-
come. Mercury in Cancer gives you an edge in
clear thinking right now. The probability of success
is tipped in your favor. Move forward with courage
and victory is assured.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
The sun in Leo makes it your prominent time of
the year. Now is a good time to set new ideas in
motion and sow new seeds. Your strong vision
and fiery nature give you "the edge of success"'
Continue to build on the successes of the past
year. Start your fiscal year now and your strong
spirit will surely bring new and greater rewards.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You continue to grow spiritually. Why? Because
you face each life challenge with heart and
courage. The courage springs from your strong
faith and belief in the universal power. You are to
be applauded for your tenacity. Stay centered,
worry less and be happy. This attitude inspires
others. Now everyone is happy.


Libra-Sept 23-OcL t.22
Upon arising, say the following affirmation out
loud each day: "I listen to my divine inner guid-
ance and the visions I receive always guide me
toward my truth and higher good. I am constantly
supplied with everything I need to live, laugh and
prosper. More is on the way. For this and life itself,
I am eternally grateful."

Scorpio-Oct.23-Nov.21
You are a winner in life. Why? Because you carry
courage, conviction, integrity and love in your
heart. Your strong conscience and loyalty always
make you want to do the right thing, whether it
works out or not Because of your helpfulness to
others, the universe is ready to bring you more
abundance than ever before.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
You are the archer of the universe. Without a goal
or a mission that keeps you on the edge, it is easy
to get sidetracked or stressed out, sometimes
without knowing it. The supreme indicator is to
ask yourself, "Am I truly happy?" If not, then step
back, refocus your highest values and move your
energy forward again.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The moon in Capricorn gives you an emotional
edge this week. Take time to do something for

although they have
dropped "blues" from their
name, it's never far from
their music.'
"We're rooted in the
blues," Mr. Miller says.
"We also play a little
more aggressive rock. My
dad raised us around the
blues and we got into Ste-
vie Ray Vaughan. We listen
to all types of music, but
we're a bit more rocking."
The band started when
the kids began jamming
together. L.D. picked up
the harmonica in a few
weeks and his brother says
he's "freaking awesome."
When they started play-
ing around Lafayette they
needed a name and
because Clayton was
known as a guitar player in
the area, they called it "The
Clayton Miller Blues Band.
"I'm not the main one,"
he says. "We're all family
doing our thing. It's just a
name."
Mom Tammy, while not
in the band, is the publi-
cist, manager and authori-

The Lyric show will be an
acoustic and electric show
in even parts.
"We normally play an
electric show loud and
break down and do an
acoustic set," Mr. Miller
says.
"We put a lot of feeling
into everything we do. We
rock it out, but it's always
blues-rooted."
In the past year, the
band has done 243 shows
in 43 states and released a
new CD, "One Lane
Ahead," but Mr. Miller is
glad to be at home right
now because his second
child is due any day. He
already has a three-year-
old son.
, "I'm working on my own
Clayton Miller Band," he
says.
The Clayton Miller Band

Port St. Lucie filmmaker Gary Scott with photos of the cast of his new film, "Mr. No Shot," shooting in Fort Pierce and St.
Lucie County.

St. Lucie filmmaker taking his best shot


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
If you see lights, action and
cameras in and around Fort
Pierce and St. Lucie County
in the next few weeks, you've
found the setting for inde-
pendent filmmaker Gary
Scott's movie, "Mr. No Shot."
The New York native, who
went to school in south
Florida and moved to Port
St. Lucie four years ago, has
been in the film industry for
14 years, and he's making his
film dream come true.,
"This is what I aspire to
do," he says. "I'm a film rat.
I've done commercials,
music videos, corporate
pieces, but not my own
thing. I've always been a
scriptwriter, and this is an
opportunity to tell a story.
"'Mr. No Shot' is the story
of a guy going through a
mid-life crisis. He's
estranged from his wife and
he has a fantasy about get-
ting together with an ex-
flame who has become an
international superstar. He's
a bad luck guy. Nothing goes
right and he becomes a sus-
pect of the murder of his
best friend."
While the subject matter is
serious, the movie won't lack
humor.
"It s a comedy/drama or a
dramedy," Mr. Scott says.
"It's a slice of life and tells a
story while delivering ames-
sage that, to use a cliche, you
can always make lemonade
when life hands you a


lemon."
All of the film will be shot
locally, with talent from the
area that includes Julian
Wright, Gina Puruski, Amala
Hampton, Shellie Sewell,
Vanessa Rolfe, Heidi Con-
don, D.E. Herndon, Holly
Clickner, Leisy Arencibia,
Richard Fitzpatrick, Frank
Porpora, Alan Lee, Ashley
Roberts, Lisa Michelle
Dampler, Casey Puruski and
D.J. Semick.
Mr. Scott will serve as pro-
ducer/director, as well as
scriptwriter.
"I've produced before and


learned the money side," he
says. "I know what I can do
with the budget I have."
The fihn will be shot on
video because it is much
less expensive than shoot-
ing on film and should cost
about $10,000. He hopes to
complete the filming in
August and submit it to film
festivals, which are much
more open to video submis-
sions than they were in the
past.
He hopes to secure a dis-
tribution deal through a
cable or broadcast channel.
"There are so manyinde-

pendent features on video,"
he says.
"Filmmakers should know
that you don't need a mil-
lion dollars to make a film."
He also hopes that the film
will serve as a springboard
for other projects by dis-
playing his talents as a
screenwriter and director as
well as the talents of the per-
formers.
"So many people have
contacts with media out-
lets," he says. '"Getting the
exposure, which is so impor-
tant, makes it a win-win sit-
uation."

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers.

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't
know me, I should tell you that I don't profess
to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who
was always perfect for the past 38 years.
When I look at some of my past advertising
and sales tactics. I am not always proud.
But I have evolved as my customers have
evolved. My customers' expectations, level
of education and sophistication are much
higher today. Your customers are no different,
My remarks are made sincerely and with a
positive intent toward you and your custom-
ers. I am not trying to tell you
how to run your business. I "Af' cIl
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectati
customers.

be conducted,
please call us.

We need to add

departments...
sales, service,
parts, body shop.
and accounting.


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

Adjustor

Helps

People

with

Insurance

Claims


Steven Lewis Philipson, an accredited public insurance adjuster helps
people who believe their insurance companies are insufficiently com-
pensating them for damages.
After working 30 years as a general contractor, Steven Lewis Philipson
knows a lot about the costs of construction and repairs. With that experience in
mind, Mr. Philipson noted that after the hurricanes in 2004 and 2005, a lot of peo-
ple needed help in getting enough money to fully repair their hurricane-damaged
properties. Knowing the true cost of repairs because of his Work as a contractor, he
decided to become an accredited public insurance adjustor. As an adjustor, Mr.
Philipson said, he works to convince the insurance companies to provide property
owners with enough money to make all the repairs. His relationship with his prop-
erty owners is one where the,client can't lose.
"If I can't get them additional money, I don't charge them anything," he
said. "Only if I get additional money, do I collect a fee. It's a no-lose situation."
Customers are appreciative of not having to pay an up-front.fee. When someone's
property is damaged, and the owner is dissastified with the re-imbursement offer
from the insurance company, they contact Mr. Phillipson.
Steve said he then does an extensive inspection of the property and creates
a line-item list of the damages and what he believes are the costs to fix each prob-
lem. His estimates are based on accepted costs for the area in which the property is
located. Only then does he ask the client to sign a contract. He finds that the insur-
ance company's offer often doesn't cover the repair costs. He said in most cases he
does obtain more money for the clients. "Twice the amount (of what the insurance
company offers) has been more typical than not," he said.
In a couple of rare cases, his findings showed that the insurance company's
offer was correct. But a case involving a house up the street from where he lives in
Wabasso is more typical. That house had a lot of damage because of a leaky roof
after Hurricane Jeanne. The water damaged cabinets, drywall and electrical fix-
tures. His evaluation showed the damages were about $200,000, although the
insurance company only offered $90,000. In the end, Mr. Philipson said, the insur-
ance company agreed to pay $183,000.
Steve deals directly with the insurance company. If they disagree with his
appraisal, he proceeds to the legal mediation process on his client's behalf.
"Usually it is settled at mediation," Mr. Philipson said. But if an agreement can't be
reached at mediation, the situation goes to an appraisal where he and the insur-
ance company agree on an umpire.
The umpire's decision is final and that process can take 10 weeks. Mr.
Philipson represents clients on the Treasure Coast, and as far south as Fort
Lauderdale. He said clients appreciate that they deal directly with him from the
start. Mr. Philipson can be reached by telephone at:

Rosen Shingle Creek a great getaway


The great thing
about living in
Florida is the
number of great courses
and resorts that are
within a couple hours
drive of home.
The newest resort in
Orlando is the Rosen
Shingle Creek, which
opened in September
2006. The resort boasts a
1,500-room hotel, meet-
ing and convention
center, luxury day spa,
fine dining and lounges,
four pools, tennis courts
and golf.
I've learned over the
years that if I want to get,
away during the summer
for great golf, I had best
find a place that the
entire family would
enjoy.
At Rosen Shingle Creek,
I found just that.
This newest Rosen
property offers exempla-
ry service and luxury
accommodations in a
great location for golfers
and non-golfers alike.
Located in the heart of
the Orlando tourist
district, conveniently
close to International
Drive, yet far enough
away to avoid the traffic
and bustle, the resort is
just minutes away from
major attractions and
unlimited shopping,
Over the course of a
weekend there, my wife
and kids enjoyed the
pool, spa and other
amenities, while my son
and I explored the golf
course.
Shingle Creek Golf Club
was completed three
years ago and was given
time to mature before
construction began on
the hotel and other
amenities.
The result is a fine
layout with near-perfect
green, perfectly groomed
fairways, large trees and
flowering plants on every
hole.
Designer David Har-
man's objective was to
make the course play fair,
while keeping it a unique
and extraordinary test of
golf.
Assisting this effort are
five sets of tees, which
enable players to select
their degree of difficulty.
The course takes its
name from the creek that
traverses the property.
Early pioneers who first
settled Central Florida in
the 1800s were drawn by
the splendor of this
pristine creek. They used
it for fishing, trapping
and logging cypress
trees, which were floated
to a nearby mill to be
made into shingles for
their homes, thus the
name Shingle Creek.
The course features
undulating fairways and
interconnected water-


ways, bordered by a
natural backdrop of
dense oaks and pines. It's
easy to forget that you're
in the middle of the
largest tourist destina-
tion in the world.
Shingle Creek is well
thought out with a large
variety of holes. There is
a par-5 that is very
reachable in two for
golfers of all abilities. The
par-4s vary in distance
and force you to hit
draws and fades as as well
as straight tee shots. The
par-3s will test your short'
and long irons. You won't
bully this course, so
bring your mental game
with you as well.
Apparently, I had my
entire game going the
day we played as I carded
my best round in more
than two years. My son,
Paul, did even better,
shooting his best round
ever.
The golf club is also
home to the Brad Brewer
Golf Academy. Should
you wish to work on your
game before playing, or
fix what you discovered
wrong while on the
course, Brad will have a
plan to help.
My son and I certainly
worked up an appetite
playing golf. When I
returned to the hotel, we
found the rest of the
family was famished as
well.
While the kids enjoyed
pizza in the room, my
wife and I were treated to
a dinner alone.
A Land Remembered,
the steakhouse at the
clubhouse, offers juicy
steaks and mouth-
watering seafood. The
restaurant looks out over
the nature preserve and
the golf course.
Upon the suggestion of
our server, we enjoyed a
lavish meal.
My steak was perfectly
prepared and melted in
my mouth. My wife had a
combination plate of
lobster, shrimp and
scallops that was simply
delicious.
She highly recommends
the multi-grain bread
that came with dinner. I
recommend trying the

sweet potato mash made
with cinnamon butter.
With our room on the
14th floor, we enjoyed
the concierge lounge
each day. The lounge
provides breakfast, hours
d'oeuvres in early


evening and coffee and
sweets in the late
evening.
In all, it made for a
perfect weekend.
The kids had the fun
they desired, I played
golf and my wife and I
had some relaxing time
alone.

BE PREPARED


As the 2007 hurricane season unfolds, most of us wonder
what the latter part of the season is going to bring So .far, the
season has rendered itself relatively quiet, but don't let the
present lack of activity fool you. Most major hurricanes, come
in the latter part of the season; in 1992, hurricane Andrew
was the first storm of the season and it did not form until
mnid-August.
Andrew was a turning point for the way that we
look at hurricanes. Not only did it show us that a seemingly
quiet season can turn ugly fast, but it also changed the way
%c huldl our structures as well as the way we insure our prop-
-erty. Remember, it only takes one storm to make it a bad year.
The 2007 season has had a quiet start for several
reasons. One of those reasons is the presence of a strong SAL
layer. The Sal Layer is also known as the Saharan Air Layer.
This layer consists of African dust that is blown into the
Atlantic from dust storms in the African desert. Where you
have African dust,'you usually also have dry air and vertical
wind shear. Both of these factors help to keep tropical storm
development in check. In another case scenario, if a struggling
storm emerges from the SAL layer and continues it's westward
march, the system will sometimes undergo changes that can
lead to rapid intensification. An example of this is Hurricane
Erin in 2001. Presently, our SAL layer is strong from the
African Coast out to a couple hundred miles east of the
Windward Islands. The layer has actually diminished some, as


we get closer to Florida.
Another important factor in tropical storm devel-
opment is SST temperatures. SST stands for Sea Surface
'Temperature. The SST's off our coast have actually been run-
ning a bit below normal so far this season. The latest SST
temperature off our coast is around 82 degrees. This is the
average throughout the basin. Once the temperatures start
getting above 85 degrees or so, the chances for major storm
formation is much more likely.
Wind shear in the upper levels of the atmosphere
can also play a huge part in tropical storm formation.
Presently, the wind shear is quite high in most parts of the
tropical basin but once this shear starts to relax, activity in the
basin could start to explode.
In short, do not let the present conditions allow -
you to lower your guard. Conditions in. the tropics can
change over a matter of days. Once the tropical basin
becomes favorable for development, we will again be at the
mercy of Mother Nature. Hurricanes are the most destructive
storms on earth and we must be prepared and ready at all
times so we can maintain the upper hand,
