What is

economic

impact of

migrant

workers?

Some say

construction
would suffer,
not all agree
BY DONALD RODRIGUE
For Hometown News
Migrant workers and
immigrants have
played a significant
role in building the
Treasure Coast econo-
my over the past
decades.
In recent years, how-
ever, these workers
have included signifi-
cant numbers of illegal
aliens, placing the
region in the vortex of
the recent immigration
debate roiling the
country.
Jack Oliver of
Indiantown has seen
first-hand how both
legal and illegal immi-
gration has affected the
region's construction
industry.
Mr. Oliver, 57, has
worked in construction
since 1968 and said the
demographics of local
construction workers
have changed dramati-
cally over the last 30
years.
"Up until the time I
left Florida in 1986, the

STUART Amber Gar-
rod has more than just a
touch of class.
In fact, last month she
was named the winner of
the 2007 Miss America's
Touch of Class pageant in
Las Vegas.
"I was completely over-
whelmed and in complete
shock," said Ms. Garrod, a
2005 graduate of Martin
County High School.
According to their Web
site, the mission of the Miss


America's Touch of Class
pageant is to "encourage
women of all ages to be
positive about their futures
by accomplishing their
goals, strengthening their
self-esteem and confidence
and with determination to
succeed in life by advanc-
ing in their own natural
skills for success."
The final night of the Las
Vegas pageant was the cul-
mination of two days of
competition, beginning
with a panel interview and
a platform speech.
"The platform is basically

tracking


calms

families

BY RITA HART
Staff writer
STUART A new tracking
system at Martin Memorial
Medical Center is helping
families cope with gaining
information on loved ones
who are undergoing sur-
gery.
Ruby Saytal and Marilyn
Weintraub know first-hand
that following a patient's
progress can help relieve
the stress when someone
leaves their care to have an
operation.
Mrs. Weintraub's son,
who is Ms. Satyal's
boyfriend, was in surgery
and. they were anxiously
waiting to hear from his
doctor in the North Family
Waiting Room at Martin
Memorial Medical Center.
They had been in this same
room a year ago, when
Barry had the same surgery.
This time, however, their
wait was made much easier
by a new system installed in
the waiting room that tracks
patients, beginning with the
pre-operative stage until the
surgery is completed and
the surgeon meets with the
family.
When patients go
through the required pre-
admission process before
surgery, they receive an
identification number that
is randomly assigned so as
to protect the patient's pri-
vacy.
Family members are then
given a business card con-
taining that number, along
with six color-coded status

The bridges of Martin County are mostly safe


Just two spans
are rated as
'structurally
deficient'

BY RITA HART AND
WARREN KARAGISE
Staff writer
MARTIN COUNTY -
Bridges spanning the high-
ways and waterways that
crisscross the Treasure
Coast are largely in good
shape, according to federal
inspectors, but state trans-
portation officials are mon-
itoring aging or "structural-
ly deficient" spans.
Florida bridges came
under scrutiny last week
after a highway bridge col-
lapsed in Minneapolis,
killing at least five
motorists.
On the Treasure Coast, 17


bridges were rated struc-
turally deficient by federal
inspectors, but just two of
them were in Martin Coun-
ty.
Indian River County has
12 deficient bridges, while
St. Lucie County has three.
Martin County's two
bridges rated structurally
deficient were the turnpike
ramp bridge at the Stuart
Interchange and the bridge
over Danforth Creek on
Mapp Road.
The Stuart Interchange
bridge is now structurally
sound after completion of a
$2.8 million project that
included raising the bridge,
while the Mapp Road
bridge, which is a county-
maintained bridge, was
recently replaced by Martin
County, along with two
bridges on the Martin
Grade.
"FDOT inspects bridges
every two years and they


send bridge inspection
reports that are pretty
extensive," said Terry B.
Rauth, Martin County
Deputy Engineering Direc-
tor.
"They make their recom-
mendations, and we con-
tinue to repair the bridges,"
she said.
Edward Young Jr., presi-
dent of Stuart-based Inno-
vative Engineering Tech-
nologies, said while money
may be available to build
new bridges, it flows less
freely for bridge mainte-
nance.
Though the possibility
for disaster cannot be elim-
inated, "you can take pre-
cautions and put safe-
guards in place so that, 99
percent of the time, that
structure won't have a
problem," Mr. Young said.
His company has warned
highway agencies of the
dangers of aging infrastruc-


."FDOT inspects bridges every two years and
they send bridge inspection reports that are
pretty extensive."

ture for years. In Florida,
the hot, humid climate and
uneven maintenance has
led to poor conditions on
some bridges. *
Mrs. Rauth said Martin
County budgets money
each year for repairs on
bridges maintained by the
county. Other county-
maintained bridges already
on the list for repairs are
the Southwest Farm Road
Bridge, Crooked Creek
Bridge and Island Way West
Bridge.
Statewide, bridges are
inspected by the Florida
Department of Transporta-
tion at least every two years


to assess the condition of
the structure, or damage
from collisions, water or
weather.
FDOT inspects all
bridges on county and
state roads, with moveable
structures such as draw-
bridges undergoing annual
inspections. Stationary
bridges are inspected at
least every two years.
Once FDOT has inspect-
ed the bridges, data for
local structures is turned
over to the agency respon-
sible for maintaining the
bridge.

Dancing' in the Street

ready to celebrate its

20th anniversary


BY RITA HART
Staff writer


STUART Downtown
Stuart will be alive with
multi-cultural music and
good old rock 'n roll
when Dancin' in the
Street celebrates its 20th
year.
Scheduled for Aug. 25,
the event takes place on
S.W. Flagler St. and Osce-
ola Street between St.
Lucie Sreet. and Col-
orado Avnue. between 6
p.m. and midnight.
Billed as the Treasure
Coast's largest music fes-
tival, the event is put on
by Stuart MainStreet, a
non-profit organization
dedicated to maintaining
the appearance and eco-
nomic strength of down-
town Stuart.
"This will be a celebra-
tion of the community,"
said Bernie Malone, Stu-
art MainStreet manager.
Mr. Malone said the
one-day festival would
not be possible without
the volunteers from a
variety of Martin County
organizations who will
be working the day of the


event. Those groups
include the Boys and
Girls Club of Martin
County, the Kiwanis Club
of Stuart, Stuart in
Bloom, the Boy Scouts
and many others. /
The music festival
includes a children's
stage, called the "Kidz
Zone," with live enter-
tainment and many
activities for the younger
ones. Sand art, pony
rides, bounce houses,
slides and face painting
are just a few of the activ-
ities for children.
There will also be
ample food and beverage
vendors on hand.
Dancin' in the Street
began in 1988, just oine
year after the formation
of Stuart MainStreet.
"The purpose was to
bring people back to the
downtown area," said Mr.
Malone.
In its first year, Dancin'
in the Street celebration
took place on one street
in Stuart and attracted
400 people. By last year,
attendance had grown 'to

Hobe Sound teen killed in early morning brawl


He had just
finished a shift
at a local fast
food restaurant
BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
.HOBE SOUND The
peaceful tranquility of
Hobe Sound and a close-
knit group of friends was
shattered early on Sunday,
Aug. 5 when a street fight
got out of hand, leaving a
16-year-old youth dying on
the side of the road after
being shot and bludgeoned
with a baseball bat.
Martin County deputies
and fire-rescue workers
responding to two frantic
911 calls about fighting and
gunshots arrived shortly
after 2 a.m. on Date Street
to find Dewayne Bernard
Mitchell III, 16, severely
wounded and uncon-
scious, and the crowd
already dispersing.
The Hobe Ridge Avenue
youth was pronounced
dead on arrival at Martin


Memorial South.
No one had been charged
as of press time, although
authorities were interview-
ing a number of witnesses
to the fighting, which
reportedly broke out after
the end of a celebration at
the nearby Banner Lake
Club.
The Medical Examiner's
Office reportedly listed the
cause of death as a single
gunshot wound to Mr.
Mitchell's right side.
According to Martin
County Sheriff's reports,
witnesses say the crowd
was too large to see who
actually had the weapon or
was wielding the bat, but
most of those there report-
ed hearing gunshots in the
neighborhood just east of
U.S.1 and south of Bridge
Road.
Although Mr. Mitchell
lived about a mile to the
northeast, he formed part
of a close-knit group of
friends who live in the
vicinity of Banner Lake
Park.
A few of them were
standing around on Date


Street on Monday evening,
trying to grasp the immen-
sity of the tragedy as a
South Florida television
station prepared to broad-
cast live from the scene and
motorists slowly drove by
to view a makeshift memo-
rial to Mr. Mitchell.
He had come by to visit
with some of them after
finishing his shift at a Port
Salerno McDonald's and
was still wearing his
uniform, his friends said.
Mr. Mitchell had recently
been released from a
juvenile detention facility.
However, Marquisa Ford,
who claimed to be his best
friend, said he was plan-
ning to begin classes this
fall at Martin County High
School and had been
scheduled to begin football
practice on Aug. 6.
Both Ms. Ford and
another friend, Kamelia
Jackson, said their group
was "like one big happy
family."
"We'd have our ups and
downs," Ms. Jackson said,
"but we'd stick together."
No one seemed to have


any idea who would have
wanted to kill Mr. Mitchell.
"I wish I knew who did it,"
said Erica Gray. "I'd tell. I've
known him since the first
grade."
They all thought help
should have come more
quickly for their friend.
"We want to know why it
took so long for the ambu-
lance to get here. They're
just right across the street,"
said Ms. Gray, as she
pointed east towards U.S.
1.
The first caller to 911
complained of fighting and.
shooting near Banner Lake
Park, but failed to give
operators a street name.
The second caller asked
for emergency help at
Banner Lake on Date
Street, giving rescue,
workers a clearer direction.
According to the Martin
County Sheriff reports,
deputies arrived on the
scene to find Mr. Mitchell
injured in the street but no
sign of anyone else with
injuries or carrying
firearms.


REVIEW

Martin County School District
appealing "B" grade

MARTIN COUNTY Despite receiving only one
"B" grade among 18 "A" grades, the Martin County
School District isn't resting on its laurels.
The "B" grade bestowed in June on J.D. Parker
School of Science, Math and Technology by the
Department of Education is being appealed by the
school district.
"The school actually earned enough points to be
an A school," said Cathy Brennan, public informa-
tion officer for the district.
"But there is a stipulation regarding the lowest 25
percent population of the school. Within that 25
percent, 50 percent of those students have to show
a learning gain from the previous school year," she
said.
Ms. Brennan said when the school looked at all
the data after the Florida Comprehensive Assess-
ment Test results were in, they realized that it came
down to only one student.
"If one student had shown a learning gain, the
school would have met that 50 percent require-
ment and would not have been penalized their let-
ter grade," said Ms. Brennan.

Stunt pilot killed in Ohio
also performed in Stuart

An air show accident in Ohio on July 29 took the
life of an experienced stunt pilot who often per-
formed at the Visiting Nurse Association Air Show
in Stuart.
Jim LeRoy, 46, was in one of two planes perform-
ing in the Dayton International Airport show when
his Bulldog Pitts biplane crashed into a runway,
slid almost 300 yards and burst into flames. The
accident was witnessed by thousands of spectators
and the air show was immediately shut down.
Mr. Leroy died en route to the hospital.
A former Marine who had a degree in aeronauti-
cal engineering, Mr. LeRoy became a stunt pilot
full-time in 1997 and frequently performed at the
annual VNA Air Show held at Witham Field.

Wal-Mart theft investigation
leads to additional charges

What began as a theft investigation at Wal-Mart,
located at 4001 S. Federal Highway in Stuart, ended
with 18 charges of possession of a counterfeit pay-
ment document against a Fort Lauderdale woman.
Antoya Mercedes Bellamy, 20, was detained at
Wal-NMart on Aug. 1. It was then discovered that she
had in her possession a Florida identification card
i, the. name of Kendra Allen Love, along with 34
fraudulent checks.
Stuart Police Officer Heather Buchanan traced
the checks and determined the accounts belonged
to other individuals.
Ns. Bellamy was charged with 18 counts of pos-
session of a counterfeit payment document, and

nies relying on immigrant
labor willing to work at a
cheaper price.
"[Construction] used to
be a good career, in which
one could pay their bills
and send their kids to col-
lege," Mr. Oliver said.
"That's totally out of the
question now."
Don Santos, the presi-
dent of Santos Construc-
tion Company in Port St.
Lucie, agrees that the level
of immigrant labor in the
industry is high. Accord-
ing to Mr. Santos, some
"80 percent of local con-
struction workers speak
English as a second lan-
guage:"


Verifying their legal sta-
tus is a daunting task, he
said.
"They all have driver's
licenses, green cards, etc.,
and they have workman's
compensation," Mr. San-
tos explained. "But in
today's world, whether
that documentation is
official, I can't answer
that. As a regular employ-
er, we just don't have the
resources."
Mr. Santos believes that
a roundup of illegal immi-
grants locally would
severely, impact the
region's housing industry.
"If they disappeared

would be very, badly hurt
and we'd have difficulty
building homes," he said.
"Whether we could recu-
perate ea, il or not, only
time would tell."
The controversy over a
proposed amnesty for
such undocumented
workers played out locally
in Martin County even
before the bill died in the
Senate on June 28.
Hundreds of local resi-
dents reportedly took part
in a public protest of the
bill at the Roosevelt
Bridge on May 23. One of
the protest organizers,
Sue Hilton, said this was
her first major attempt at


political activism.
"When I heard that our
Congress was rushing a
bill through, alarms went
off in my head," she
explained. "Immigration
is a major issue that has to
do with national security
and economics, and I just
don't think that's the way
major issues in our coun-
try ought to be treated."
Taking her protest as far
as Palm Beach, Ms. Hilton
is concerned about the
effect illegal immigration
has on national security.
"You lock your doors at
night to keep out people
that you don't know," she
said. "Americans should


could be weeded out."
He added that the Latin
Chamber members them-
selves are divided on the
fairness and legality of the
amnesty issue.
"Some of them feel that
they had to wait and come
here the right away and
become legal residents
and U.S. citizens," Mr.
Rodriguez said. "They feel
an amnesty's not fair for
the people who've been
waiting for years to come
here."


also have that right to
lock their borders and let
in who they feel is safe to
let in here."
Construction is not the
only sector of the local
and state economy relying
heavily on immigrant
labor. Immigrant farm
workers comprise almost
80 percent of Florida's
agricultural industry, said
Walter Kates, director of
the division of labor rela-
tions for the Florida Fruit
and Vegetable Associa-
tion.
He also cited a U.S.
Department of Labor sta-
tistic stating that some 50
percent of U.S. farm
workers are in the country
illegally.
"The problem with the
immigration issue is that
there are no laws to allow
undocumented or
unskilled workers to come
here on a permanent
basis," he said. "That's
why I think a lot of these
workers are overstaying
their visas or coming here
illegally."
Undocumented agricul-
tural workers, he claimed,
do not take jobs away
from Americans.
"Not too many people
in this country are raising
their kids to be migrant
farm workers, Mr. Kates
said.
"When you start talking
about agricultural work-
ers, you're not talking
about highly skilled work-
ers. They're essentially
taking jobs that most peo-
ple in this country would
not want."
Upon arriving in the
United States, most illegal
immigrants tend to stay
under the radar since they
can't obtain driver's
licenses or other legal
identification. Some do
manage to obtain false
documents, enabling
them to get work in other
fields such as nannies,
housekeepers and lawn
maintenance workers.
Even so, many still live
in fear of being rounded
up and deported, espe-
cially if they've begun to
raise families here.
Such is the fear of Rosa,
27, a native of a small
town in Guatemala who
has lived in Port St. Lucie
for more than two years.
She and her common-
law husband, both illegal
aliens, were deeply disap-
pointed when their
amnesty chances fell
through. While her, hus-
band has to go as far as
Indiantown looking for
work, Rosa labors at a
fast-food restaurant and
frequently goes without
her own necessities in
order to send money to
her mother in Guatemala.
Her biggest concern is for
her five-month-old son
born here.
"Sometimes I'm really
afraid that the immigra-
tion authorities will catch
me in one of their
roundups and put me in
jail without my baby," she
said. "I couldn't bear to
think of being separated
from my son."
The CEO of the Latin
Chamber of Commerce
on the Treasure Coast,
Bobby Rodriguez, says
most Chamber members
agree that some sort of
status needs to be given to
the undocumented work-
ers in the area, but
emphasized that the flow
of illegal immigration
should be stopped first.
"I definitely think they
should seal the borders,
and then give opportuni-
ties to the families that
are already here," he said.
"We feel that they should
be given some type of sta-
tus for now, until the
criminals or whatever

Endless Irrigation

Water restrictions are just a band-aid on a much larger,
infected wound called over development.
With over fifty percent of Florida water being used for
irrigation, we now know that restricted irrigation alone
will not help heal this wound in the future.
It saddens me when I see churches, businesses and
parks watering their lawns during the day. Across from
the Hobe Sound Post Office there is a golf course that can
be seen irrigating during downpours and after hours of
rain.
Is it possible that this prominent golf course simply
lacks concern for the future of Florida?
Even my little irrigation system has a sensor that turns
the water off when it has rained.
How about the two irrigation trucks working at the eld-
erly care facility in Hobe Sound where I visit my aunt?
With little rain accumulation at that time, the pond
was nearly dry. I asked the sprinkler guys if they had run
out of water. Their reply was disturbing. They said that
the pond was too low to draw water so they were length-
ening a pipe from a well so they could fill the pond with-
out anyone noticing.
I asked if that defeated the purpose of water restric-
tions. One said, "Yeah, but we do this all the time." He
then began to share other various shady if not illegal
ways that his company makes money during water
restrictions.
I was disgusted, and that company has trucks every-
where.
These two examples exhibit the lack of concern and
greed of various companies.
Restrictions, warnings and fines will do little to stop
them. It is essential that state and local governments
change how new residential and commercial projects
are landscaped.
It is imperative that the expansive lawns become limit-
ed or even eliminated and that landscapes include a
large percentage of native, drought tolerant foliage.
Endless development requires endless irrigation, and
endless irrigation will assist in destroying the future
water supply of Florida.
We need to hold our local county and city govern-
ments accountable for our water issues because it is they
who allow this endless development that includes so
much wasteful irrigation.
It is not too late to save our water supply.

Outnumbered

Lam responding to the person in West Palm Beach who
said that he was probably outnumbered 40 to 1, or
maybe it's 40 to 2.
I completely agree with him.
I am from Jenson Beach, and I think he made a lot of
sense.
I liked his Rant and Rave, I think it was a nice change.

Gas prices

How about a gas "Boycott"?
Say, every Tuesday and Wednesday, nobody buys gas.
I thought of these days as a lot of people buy gas on
weekends or paydays. Also, on Monday's lots of people
would gas up for the coming week.
It would be impossible to get the whole country in on
this at the same time, but a large percentage could make
for interesting results.
I heard gas prices are going up to $6 per gallon.
People are complaining, with lots of oohs and aahs,
but we are all still filling up with little "screaming,"
How much are we going to take? Over the road truck-
ing has put 20 to 25 percent diesel fuel surcharge on top
of their freight rates, some more.
Who is paying for this?
All of us.
Most commodities are shipped by over the road truck-
ing. '
How about the prices at the grocers?
Anyway, this is just a thought.
I would like some input from others, also from a statis-
tical point of view.

Doctors appointments

I had a doctor's appointment for 8 a.m.
I arrived at 7:55 a.m.
At that time, there were four people ahead of me. Three
more signed in before the doctor saw me at 9:15 a.m.
The anxiety of waiting to be seen is enough to make
one's blood-pressure rise.
Would doctors be willing to deduct the waiting time

from the bill?

A problem with cable

With the higher cost of living these days, I am on a tight
budget.
My Internet service was eliminated, and my cable is now
the new version of basic.
Less than three years ago phone, electric, gas, good,
taxes and cable were all much less money than they are
today.
Cable went from $12 to $17.25 a month for just connec-
tion to "basic."
When Comcast won over Adelphia, I lost out. Why?
What do I get for my money?
I pay $207 a year for Comcast basic cable. That is $17.25
times 12 months. I cringe when I write the check every
month.
IHere is why:
A blue screen says, "WHDT is not providing service to
the treasure Coast at this time"
Two channels, 3 and 14, are in Spanish. I speak English
Let us add insult to injury, as they say.
In America, English is the language of our country.
Channel 3 has many good movies, like HBO, STARZ, and
CINIMAX has, but I cannot afford to upgrade my cable
service that would allow me the opportunity to have the
good movies.
Maybe Comcast could sub-title this channel in English
so English speaking Americans could enjoy the movies,
too.
We, the subscribers, are sick ofinfomercials. The con-
stant barrage of commercials, over and over is out of con-
trol. In a half huur show there is more time spent on
commercials than the actual show.
Count them. You'll be amazed.
And, you pay for this.
Comcast is paid by us, the subscribers. It is also paid
by the advertisers. Comcast customer service passes the
buck. They say, "We don't control the blah, blah, blah,"
and then they tell us to call the Federal Communications
Commission.
Meanwhile, you and I pay to hear ads, and oh, yeah,
lousy programming.
Old sitcoms are just about the cheapest for of enter-
tainment
Superstition WGN? Give me a break. Please tell me
why Chicago news is broadcast on the Treasure Coast.
And, you and I pay for this.
A filler channel is the T.V. Guide channel. It lists all the
junk as a reminder of insult to injury again, and again,
again on a scroll.
Religious channels, oh, please. If you want religion,
go to a house of worship, but please stop it from being
broadcast.
We are fed up with fake faith healers with hair replace-
ments and gaudy gold furniture praising and singing
alongside potential psychiatric patients who wear huge
wigs, too much make-up, and sequined dresses as if it
was for a Saturday Night Live comedy act.
Some members of the television audience actually
buys into this, and some literally allow themselves to be
physically shaken so their brains rattle around in their
heads.
No wonder they fall to the floor.
And, again, we the subscribers pay for this crap.
OK, they call it Hometown channel 10 news.
We call it infomercials, commercials, testimonials, and
a French horn jingle that has become infectious in a
brain damaging way.
"Hokey" wouldn't do justice for this channel.
But, I suppose it is a step up from a few years ago when
all the sex offenders were broadcasted with their pictures
and addresses accompanied with music in the back-


C


ground.
It always bothered me when the song with the words
"One way or another, I'm gonna find ya, I'm gonna
getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha," played as I counted over
115 offenders.
And, we the subscribers pay for this.
Let me not forget to mention the shopping channels,
NBC shopping network, QVC, and HSN to mention a few.
Basic subscribers are on budgets, so 99.9 percent of us
can't afford to buy anything.
This includes, but is not limited to, frozen cakes, Angus
beef, "stretch pay" jewelry, handbags, tools, and endless
containers of Chinese crap.
Again, I'm on a very fixed income, and can't afford a
$1,000 watch.
And, yes, you and I pay for this channel.
Cheap programming such as judge shows are aired.
These courts shows feature dysfunctional people making
a mockery out of our judicial system.
Then there are shows like Springer, and Maury Povich
that bring depravity to an all time low.
What is disturbing is that an entire generation of young,
people absorbs this, and know no difference.
They are not shocked when they hear, "You are the
father."
Unbelievable.
The news, let me be clear here, all of the major news
networks with the exception of FOX News, are fed main-
stream announcements..
FOX is in it's own world of pure propaganda.
Out of 29 channels minus one or two, I actually view
only five.
That comes to $3.45 per channel per month.
They give us junk programming.
Boycott advertisers until quality programming in Ehig-
lish returns.

Stop the cruelty

I saw in the paper that a man had 30 pit bulls in Fort
Pierce, and was cruel to them, beating them, and starv-
ing them supposedly to prepare them to fight.
Then I saw on the news on television that there is, a
professional football player with a house in Virginia
where they found 60 dead dogs in the yard, and he was
accused of having fighting dogs.
I think we should lock those two up together, and have
them fight each other.
This is justice.
The Bible says, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth."
I think they should have to fight together to the very
end.
A judge should hand this sentence down.
If I were a judge, I would definitely hand this down.
If dogs are forced to do this in a public forum, IFay let
these two men do it in a public forum.
That should teach the others never, never to perform
cruelty to animals of any kind, be it dogs, cats, etc.
Also, I saw on the news that a woman had a house with
retarded people, teenagers and adults, tied up in it.
Once there is a winner in the fight between the two
men, let that winner fight this woman, and we will really
see what happens.
If this is done in public, perhaps the next time people
will think twice about performing cruelty.
I was.with the Humane Society for nine years. If I per-
sonally saw someone doing this, I know I would jump up
and throw a rock at that person, and cut the animal
loose.
It would be the right thing to do.
If I had something in my hand, I would bat the child or

Let the abusers fight. Let it be televised. Maybe that

there that fight animals.

Stores should ban
Heely-wearing youths

When did it become OK for children to skate inside
stores and restaurants?
It is dangerous (and annoying) to allow children to
skate around others trying to shop or just enjoy a meal.
They wear Heelys in the superstores, grocery stores, even
steak houses. But they're not allowed in the schools.
Wonder why?
The managers are afraid to say anything to the parents
I guess because they figure anyone (who) allows (his)
child to be that rude probably would not care.
I had a manager tell me it was hard to not let them use
them since they sell Heelys in their store.
If that's the case, I guess'I can use skateboards, bicycles,
or roller-skates while shopping.
(I'm) not sure what the excuse is for the restaurants. I
bet the servers just love having kids skate past them
while they carry trays full of food.
Heelys are toys that should be played with at home
with proper safety gear.
The fault is not the child. They deserve guidance that
evidently their "parents" don't (offer).
The stores should beware. Those same parents will be
quick to sue because the stores allowed their child to
skate in the store and were injured when they fell.
I hope the stores have a lot of insurance when I get hit
by one of those roller skating missiles that they allow in
their stores.

Selling our roadways enriches foreigners
Passing through your area, I caught a copy of your
paper that contained a (rant) on your governor allowing
privatization of freeways in Florida.
I thought I ought note for you that the Bush adminis-
tration and the federal Department of Transportation has
been pushing privatization.
The unmentioned lure for politicians is how they can
be re-elected by putting their names on the things they
-buy with the once-in-nine-year money the Australian,
Spanish, and Italian firms bring to the table.
I am really (not) looking forward to Interstate 95 toll-
ways planned for both North and South Carolina "free-
ways." Pennsylvania just bit that apple; Texas, Arizona,
California and Colorado are trying (the same thing).
Many articles are available in the truckers' organiza-
tion OOIDA magazine site LandLineMag.com including
the DOT special report of January 2007.
How many Mediterranean yachts for CEOs will our toll
taxes buy?

Woman's non-Spanish
speaking husband, a racist
To the woman who claims she is married to a Hispanic
man (who refuses to speak Spanish), I say you are incor-
rect, you are married to a wannabe White man, not a His-
panic man.
Anyone who would ignore people because they spoke
to them in their natural language is clearly a racist.
I've lived in New York City most of my life. I was educat-
ed there.


I read, write, speak, think and even dream in English. I
speak to my family and friends in English, but if I come
across someone, anyone who needs to speak to me in
Spanish, I give them the respect and honor they deserve,
by speaking to them in Spanish.
This person gets praised by his wife, but I'm quite posi-
tive, he gets no respect from anyone who knows him.
People aren't stupid. They know where he is coming
from, trying to deny his background.
He is more than likely even shunned by his own rela-
tives and looked upon as nothing more than a traitor to
his race and language.
I'm also sure she is going to claim that her ancestors
came here legally and in one year learned English, right?
Yeah, right.

What are Democrats afraid of?
The Democrats are so reckless with our lives in this
country.
Monitoring phone calls is an absolute necessity to
learn how the terrorists are planning to kill us.
What are the Democrats afraid of that the FBI and
CIA might listen into some of their corrupt calls?
Most people are not concerned if their calls are moni-
tored.
The terrorists are criminals and ... the Democrats are
playing right into their hands.
If we get Hillary and Bill back in the White House, dear
God help all of us. They are not concerned about this
country and the people of this country.
(Hillary) has never done anything for the people in this
country when she was in the White House and now that
she is in the Senate.

Lobster tale turns off one reader
I am totally turned off by the Grammy Guru's story of
her romantic dinner ruined because she was (cooking) a
very large lobster, and the lobster was fighting for its life.
I don't think that this had to be so graphically described
in a supposedly light, romantic effort to prepare a meal.
It totally turns my stomach, which is odd because she
is supposed to make it feel so much better.
She goofed on this one. This is not a recipe people want
to read.


Ranters are just plain rude
This is in response to the person who wrote "Republi-
cans should deport themselves."
A lot of people who call (or write) into the Rants &
Raves probably don't even vote. They are not for either
the Republican or Democrats, because nowadays no
matter who you vote for or who is in office everybody has
something to say about it.
It's not right.
Nd matter who is in office, there're a lot of problems.
Why are you blaming (just) the president?
Why don't the people who called the rant in deport
themselves?
They're being quite rude in my opinion and in other
people's opinion that I know.

History provides facts, not emotion
This is in regard to statements a ranter made (in
"Republicans should deport themselves") that just show
that he or she does not know much about the history of
our country.
We had no major debt before our great Democratic
president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, started a very

expensive program called Social Security. He also got us
into World War II, which was not a cheap war in men or
money.
Both parties can lay claim to the start of a war and both
can claim increasing national debt.
To accuse any party of sending any of our citizens to
die for some cause not designated for the safety or the
benefit of this country is just plain stupid.
If the ranter knew all the facts, perhaps his opinion
might be different.
The ranter needs less emotions, an open mind and the
facts.

Sleep better knowing presidents
only can serve two terms
(Recently), a person wrote in that a third term for Presi-
dent Bush causes him sleepless nights.
Someone should inform that person that the president
cannot have three consecutive terms, and maybe that
person can sleep at night.
Editor's note: According to the online encyclopedia
site, ww.encarta.msn.com, the 22nd Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, approved in 1951, limited a president
to two terms. "The amendment also prohibits a person
from running for election a second time if he or she has
already served more than two years of a term to which
someone else had been elected."

Global warming might be
due to Tallahassee effect
With all the hot air being generated in Tallahassee, is it
possible this is the source of Florida's rise in tempera-
ture?

Heavily penalize those
involved in dog fighting
(This is an) open letter to all state representatives in
Tallahassee.
I beseech you to put severe penalties against anyone
who fights dogs for fun and profit.
Shut down this despicable practice once and for all.
Please ... pass a bill that anyone caught or proven to
have had dogs fighting on their property... would forfeit
his or her property, and all vehicles they own, to the state.
In addition, anyone known to have attended such a
fight (should be fined) $5,000 and forfeit the vehicle they
used to attend.
Last, reward anyone who turns in dog fighters, by giv-
ing them 20 percent of the money the state receives from
the sale of the property and vehicles.
If you put this kind of teeth in this law, I can almost
assure you the word will get out and this horrible practice
will come to a halt fast.
If you continue to only slap them on the wrist, it will
continue.

Appeasement won't work in gulf
To the ranter who asked "Who are the winners in this
war?"
The liberated Iraqis and us are, that's who.
Did you forget about how Saddam Hussein ran his
country with a kill-all-who-oppose-him policy?
Did you forget (he used) mustard gas on his own coun-
trymen and women?
I guess it does not matter to you because it's not hap-
pening to you.

COOKING WITH CLASS


SCHOOL




Martin County School


District outlook for 2007-2008


File Photo


The Academy of Culinary Arts was one the classes for the 2006 school year at Martin
County High School.


Editor's Note: At the end
of the 2006-2007 school
year; 18 Martin County
schools received Florida
Comprehensive Assess-
ment Test grades of A,
while only one school
received a B grade. Sara A.
Wilcox, superintendent of
the Martin County School
District, explains her opti-
mism for the upcoming
school year in the follow-
ing letter that was sent to
parents and guardians of
students in her school dis-
trict.

Dear Parents and
Guardians:
It is truly an exciting
time for the Martin Coun-
ty School District. Our
schools and staff have
received state and nation-
al recognition for their
tremendous efforts in pro-
viding students with a
quality education. We are
proud to be the home of
Florida's 2007 Teacher' of
the Year, and for a second
consecutive year, the
state's Outstanding Ele-
mentary Principal of the
Year. Warfield Elementary
also received the presti-
gious 2006 No Child Left
Behind Blue Ribbon
School Award from the
U.S. Department of Edu-
cation. Based on the
results of the 2007 Florida
Comprehensive Assess-
ment Test (FCAT), our


schools continue to rank
among the best in the
state, with. 18 "A" schools
and one "B" school. In
addition, our schools are
consistently recognized
for their exceptional per-
forming arts and athletic
programs.
These dre outstanding
accomplishments. I would
like to personally thank
our teachers, staff, stu-
dents, families, and com-
munity members for their
unwavering dedication,
support and hard work.
We should all take tremen-
dous pride in knowing
that our students are
receiving a quality educa-
tion that will lay the foun-
dation for their future as
productive members of
our community.
As we look forward to
the 2007-2008 school year,
the most notable educa-
tional change will be the
declaration of "Major
Areas of Interest" by our
incoming 9th grade stu-
dents. This is a state
requirement under Flori-
da's A++ Plan, which aims
to further enhance stu-
dents' studies by exposing
them to a variety of pro-
grams and career oppor-
tunities. Areas of interest
our students can pursue
include pre-engineering,
finance, drafting, culinary
arts, automotive service,
commercial photography,


TV production, web
design, medical science,
and more. In addition,
high school students can
enroll in advanced place-
ment, honors, and dual
enrollment courses, as
well as the International
Baccalaureate Program, to
further challenge them-
selves academically.
The district is also busy
keeping pace with our
growing community. In
the past three years, the
district has opened two
new schools and' three
new replacement schools.
A new elementary school
is scheduled to, open in
Palm City in August 2008.
In addition, major renova-
tion projects and class-
room building additions
are currently underway at
several of our schools.
Each of these facilities will
serve our students, fami-
lies, and community for
generations to come.
There are many wonder-
ful accomplishments tak-
ing place each day in our
schools and classrooms. I
encourage you to learn
more about all of the edu-
cational opportunities the
Martin County School Dis-
trict has to offer by visiting
our Web site,
www.sbmc.org.

Sincerely,
Sara Wilcox, Ph.D.

BACK TO SCHOOL

From page A8
tition again?
And, most importantly,
who would be the team's
head coach?
That's when athletic
director Greg Hendricks
found Chuck Kenyon.
In his first year as Tigers
head coach, Kenyon helped
Martin County to an 8-2 reg-
ular season record and a
berth in the postseason.
The Tigers lost in the first
round, but will look to be
force in the postseason in
2007.
Kenyon will have to prove
his worth again in 2007,
however: With running back
Ricky Warren and quarter-
back Daniel Lafleur gradu-
ated, the team will look to
other leaders to step up
and fill the void left by the


class of 2007.
"We were very pleased
last year, it was a total
surprise," said Hendricks.
"We're very excited that
coach Kenyon is entering
his second season. Not
only on the field, but off
field as well."
But make no mistake,
the Tigers aren't in that
bad of shape. Returning
seniors Marcus Jackson
and Brooks Dubois will
carry the load on the
ground for Martin Coun-
ty and rising junior Ron-
nie Nelson will most like-
ly take the snaps.
Nelson saw time at
quarterback last year
while Jackson and Dubois
both started and were


among the team leaders
in carries and yards.
Dubois injured his leg
this spring, but is back
practicing with the team.
While Martin County
was making headlines on
one side of the county,
South Fork was quietly
having a successful sea-
son of their own on the
other.
The Bulldogs finished
the year with an identical
regular season record as
Martin County, but
retained bragging rights
after beating the Tigers,
on the road, in the annu-
al Martin Bowl. It was
South Fork's fourth
straight win in the storied
rivalry.


South Fork lost 17 sen-
iors from last year's team,
but will return close to 20
juniors. The team might
not have the experience
at key positions like quar-
terback or wide receiver
like they were used to in
2006, but they will have
depth. ,
This spring the Bull-
dogs nearly lost senior
linebacker and captain
Will Claunch for the sea-
son, when he tore almost
all the skin off his right
middle finger after get-
ting it caught in a team-
mates pants drawstring
during a spring scrim-
mage. But after a number
of procedures, in includ-
ing having his finger


sewn to his abdomen to
help re-grow some of the
skin, Claunch is expected
to be on the football field
this fall.
Will the emotional
return of Claunch be
enough to keep South
Fork riding high, or will
this be the year Martin
County regains its crown
in the Martin Bowl?
Well, as they say, that's
why we play the games.
The Tigers have been
the area's volleyball pow-
erhouse for as long as the
sport has been on .the
Treasure Coast.
But. with the success
Jensen Beach had in 2006
and the anticipated run
toward a state title this


fall, that might soon be
changing.
In just their third year,
the Falcons advanced to
the regional final, only to
loose to eventual state
champion Cardinal Gib-
bons.
The 2007 version of Fal-
cons volleyball is almost a
mirror image of the 2006
squad, with the team los-
ing only three seniors and
bringing back both cap-
tains in Brett Benzio and
Jesse Kubiak
Benzio was a Florida
Sports Writers Association
first team all-state selec-
tion in 2006 and will
anchor a senior-heavy Fal-
con team.
All fall sports begin their
seasons the last week of
August.

Pageant


From page Al
Triathlon Club, and Ms.
Garrod aspires to compete
in a triathlon, as Mr. Allore
now does.
She also exercises in a
gym an additional four
days per week, and she
loves to golf.
In addition to a swimsuit,
modeling and evening
gown competition, the
national pageant required
contestants to respond to
questions they randomly
picked out of bowl, on both
nights of the competition.
"On the first night, my
question was 'Do you think
our country is spending
enough money for scientif-
ic research for diseases?'
said Ms. Garrod.
"I said I do think we are
spending enough money,
but I question where the
money is going. I feel it's
important it is spent in a
proper way and split up
among diseases, not just
focused on certain ones,"
she said..
On the final night, Ms.
Garrod said her question
was "If you were hiding
from a problem,' where
would you hide?"
'A lot of people expected
me to say I wouldn't hide
from my problem, but I
said I would go to my
favorite place and lay in a
hammock, drinking a trop-
ical drink," she said.
Sitting in the audience
for the Las Vegas pageant
were Ms. Garrod's parents,
Colleen and Frank, and Mr.
Allore. '
"Our feet still haven't
touched the ground," said
Mrs. Garrod.
"For her to win a national
title is amazing. She did a
lot of preparing, spent a lot
of dime at the gym, made
sure all her outfits were
perfect. So ,-he was fully
prepared and that's the
thing \\e were most proud
about. It's nice to see her
hard work pay off," she
said.
Ms. Garrod has been
involved widi pageants for,
about five years. Hler first
major win was Miss Martin
County 2004, and the fol-

gery in progress, patient in
recovery, case cancelled and
,case completed.
A flat-screen monitor in
the surgical waiting room
then tracks each patient by
number, name of their doc-
tor and one of those status
levels, allowing family
members to know at all
times where their loved
ones are during the surgical
process.
"I was here a year ago, and
I was so nervous," said Ms.
Satyal, while waiting for
word on her boyfriend.
"This is so much better."
Mrs.Weintraub agreed.
"This is unbelievable. We
certainly didn't have this in
the hospitals where I lived in
New Jersey," she said.
According to Scott Sam-
ples, public information
coordinator for Martin
Memorial Health Systems,
each time a nurse updates a
patient's status in the
computer, such as arrival
into the holding area or the
beginning of a
surgery the patient's loca-.
tion is automatically record-
ed on the tracking board.
Therefore, the update on
the status is immediate.
The medical center
expects to install two more
monitors in the near future
in the cafeteria and coffee
shop.
"This provides a focal
point for the family to look
at while their loved
one is in surgery," said Val
Ruby, assistant vice presi-
dent of
perioperative services at
Martin Memorial. "It gives
them an opportunity
to know where the patient
is and to give them more of
a feeling of
control."


lowing year, Miss Palm
Beach Teen USA. She also
competed in Miss Florida
USA and in 2006, won the
title to the Miss Paradise
USA pageant in Daytona
Beach.
To compete in the Miss
America's Touch of Class
pageant, she first had to
win the Miss Treasure
Coast Touch of Class and
the Miss Florida pageants.
Ms. Garrod will be busy
in the coming year. In the
fall, she will return to IRCC,
where she is a Dean's List
student. She currently
works for her mother's
cleaning business four days
a week. As the pageant win-
ner in July, she is now
required to make a mini-
mum of two appearances
every month for the next 12
months.
"I plan on getting Ameri-
ca on the Run off the
ground and hope to visit
kids in Martin County's
schools to promote physi-
cal fitness," said Ms. Gar-
rod.
As if that isn't enough,
she is also a volunteer with
Greyhound Pets of Ameri-
ca, an organization based
in Palm Beach County ded-
icated to promoting adop-
tions of retired or injured
greyhound dogs that can
no longer race.
Ms. Garrod's mother said
many people think there is
a stigma attached to pag-
eants, but they couldn't be
more wrong.
"My motto is pay atten-
tion to these girls because
one day they will. be your
boss. The pageants prepare
them for the world," said
Mrs. Garrod.
Ms. Garrod is grateful to
the Martin County busi-
nesses that sponsored her
in the Miss America's Touch
of Class pageant, including
Dangerous Curves, Allore's
Plumbing and Rag Street.
. "It was a phenomenal,
once in a lifetime experi-
ence, and I had a lot of
sponsors that helped me
get through. I want to send
out a big 'thank you' to all
of them," said Ms. Garrod.

SAVING DRIVERS
FROM THEMSELVES
Today's motor vehicles come
with an unprecedented number of
highly effective safety features
that make automobiles safer than
ever before. Many of these safety
features, such as anti-lock brakes
and electronic stability control,
exert themselves without the
driver ever having to intervene.
However, there are drivers who
, are tempting fate by driving more
aggressively than they otherwise
would without the safety features.
The so-called "offset hypothesis"
holds that drivers "adapt" to safe-
ty innovations and allow them-
selves to be lulled into a false
sense of security by becoming
more relaxed and less vigilant
about *safety. Instead, drivers
should hold themselves to the
same high safety standards that
automobile manufacturers expect
of their own products.
From airbags to seatbelts there
are a plethora' of safety features
implemented in today's vehicles.
At ADVANTAGE FORD OF STUART,
we take you, and your family's
safety, very seriously. In fact
we consider it our top priority,
putting nothing else above it.
Located at 4000 S.E. Federal
Highway, we stress the impor-
tance of seatbelts, as well as
proper automotive care to ensure
the other safety features, such as
ABS enabled brakes, work correctly.
Questions? Call 772.781. 6520.
Genuine Motorcraft parts mean
that high quality is guaranteed.
HINT: One safety feature, the seat
belt, can only be effective if driv-
ers and passengers buckle up.

when the Golden Agers
evolved.
These original Golden
Agers were joiners, and
many went to senior
centers, AARP meetings and
other social clubs that
began running trips.
In the Northeast, groups
went to such places as the
Poconos, Catskills, Montreal
and Atlantic City. The winter
escape was a 14-day motor
coach trip to Florida. This
meant three days down on a
bus and three days back
with eight days in between
in the Sunshine State.
As their tastes evolved and
the Golden Agers continued
to travel, jet tours through-
out North America and
abroad came into the
picture. But the trips were
"one-size-fits- all."
Groups were happy to be


invited to
participate in

years of age
Must be willing to
have study-related
diagnostic tests

GERALDINE BLANCHARD
Travel columnist
away, everyone stayed
together, participated in the
same activities and ate
meals together.
But as the 1990s pro-
gressed, a new group of
mature travelers arrived on
the scene. They looked
similar to the Golden Agers
but were a bit more sophis-
ticated. These folks, part of
the "silver set," were already
experienced travelers.
Many had traveled for
work and were more
independent. Their tastes
were also more sophisticat-
ed. They were used to
traveling independently as
well as in groups and were
not lining up in formation
like the Golden Agers.
In the mid-1980s, many
different types of groups,
started to sprout up and
form travel clubs. Traveling
with people in the same
economic group was the
affinity that provided a
meaningful connection
point.
Other types of groups
were religious, which
brought people together
who shared a common
belief system.
Alumni travel clubs are
another type of group that
offers not just trips, but an
opportunity to relive and
strengthen the bonds of a
common educational
experience.

Enter the Red Hatters
In 1998, Sue Ellen Cooper
and a group of five friends
dressed in red hats in the
spirit of the poem, "Warn-
ing," by artist/author Jenny


Joseph, for afternoon tea.
This gathering in Califor-
nia was the first official
group of Red Hats.
Since then, the Red Hat
Society has created a
worldwide sisterhood by
forming thousands of
chapters around the United
States and in 30 countries.
Red Hatter groups average
between 20 to 30 members
and most chapters do some
form of travel as a group.
Women are also traveling
on escorted trips with other
women. GutsyWomen,
founded in 2002 byApril'
Merenda, tapped into a
growing market of inde-
pendent women travelers.
Limited to smaller groups
of approximately 20, the
trips specialize in unique
experiences for women.

We are family
Multi-generational family
travel has been another
emerging trend for both
independent as well as
escorted tours.
This style of travel, called,
"togethering," identifies a
growing trend in which
friends and extended family
travel together.
The Walt Disney Co. offers
a package targeting family
groups called Disney's
Magical Gatherings. The
trips are for small groups of
eight or more travelers.
Another offshoot of the
increase in family vacations
is the family reunion.
While the family may not
all arrive in a motor coach
together, the desire to share
travel experiences with
family and friends is a hot
trend.
Ready to participate in
group travel? Whatever your
likes or passions, there is
certainly a special group
tour for you.
Until the actual trip,
happy travel dreams.

From page Al


"Once you see there is
reason for concern, there
are steps you can take," said
Barbara Kelleher, a spokes-
woman for FDOT District 4,.
which includes the three
Treasure Coast counties, as
well as Broward and Palm
Beach.
For instance, if a bridge is
rated structurally deficient,

FDOT may conduct more
frequent inspections. The
agency can also restrict
heavy vehicles from cross-
ing the span, and move up
funding to repair or replace
the structure.
And, "if it's not safe, you
close the bridge," Ms. Kelle-
her said.
The state transportation
agency oversees more than
11,000 spans. Locally, these
structures range "from big,
new bridges over the Intra-
coastal Waterway to small
ones in a neighborhood
over a culvert," Ms. Kelleher
said.
Of the Treasure Coast
bridges rated structurally
deficient, most are short
spans over shallow water.
But two structurally defi-
cient bridges are also locat-
ed in high-traffic areas,
notably the St. Sebastian
River bridge and an Inter-
state 95 overpass over Oslo
Road. Both are located in
Indian River County.
The St. Sebastian River
bridge, which connects Bre-
vard and Indian River coun-
ties via U.S. 1 and received a
"satisfactory" rating from
federal inspectors, is set to
be replaced this fall. 0

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 brilliance and depth
of diamonds and precious
stones. Because of its den-
sity and weight, you can
feel the difference
between platinum and
other precious metals.
There are no karat marks
to identify platinum.
In the United States plat-
inum is usually marked; PT
or PLAT. In Europe, plat-
inum is identified by the
following marks: 950 or
PT950. Since platinum Is
the purest metal it rarely
causes an allergic .reac-
tion. There is an Increased
interest in platinum jewelry
both in the US and
abroad.

Hello, smart shop-
pers.Today we will
make a trifle, an
amazing dessert made with
fruit.
Hopefully, you know that
all fruits must be washed.
But have you ever washed a
cantaloupe?
A while ago cantaloupes
were spreading e-coli
bacteria. The bacteria on
the skin was transferred to
the flesh when cut.
How about bananas?
Where has that banana
been and what has it come
in contact with?
A cold-water bath, to
which you have added a
little white vinegar, is fine
for washing most fruits, but
when it comes to Mielons,


use a scrub brush.
Weren't you thinking, let's
do what raccoons do: wash
everything before eating it?
According to the encyclo-
pedia, raccoons aren't
really washing their food
they're simply imitating
how they would pull a fish
or other animal from a river
or stream.
We didn't know that
when we got Rascal and
Bandit. What? You've never
heard of having a pet
raccoon?
I thought all parents
were as crazy as we were.
It all began when a
mother raccoon, unbe-
knownst to my brother,
made a home in his garage
and then had two babies.

Romancing the Stove with
Grammy Guru

When the door was
opened, she went for food.
One day, the door was
closed and momma
raccoon could not get in.
It took a couple of days
before "uncle" discovered
the crying babies and
immediately called us in
Connecticut.
Unfortunately, my
husband answered the
phone and when he yelled
that "uncle" had two
raccoons and wanted to
bring them, the kids
jumped for joy and my
husband said, "yes."
He built them a cage with
a house. Did we have a
pool? No, but the raccoons
did.
They proved to be a bit
more than we could handle
and would constantly fight.
It seems, raccoons can
never be really tamed and
'as adults must be released.
Thornton Burgess,,
famous writer of children's
books, had a small zoo in
Massachusetts called
Laughing Brook. They
agreed to take Bandit since
their raccoon, Bobby Coon,
was ready to be released.
The zoo supplied ani-
mals to TV shows.
Can you imagine how
excited my kids were to see
our Bandit on "Captain
Kangaroo" as Bobby Coon?
See you next week.

To your health: Hard to
believe, but to avoid
serious illnesses, all fruits
must be thoroughly
washed before eating.

TRIFLE
SERVES 10-12
REGULAR AND LOW-FAT

What is a trifle?
Special trifle bowls are
everywhere. A large, round,
straight sided bowl 8-
inches in diameter on a
pedestal base.
.In England, a trifle means
anything goes.
Leftover plain cake or
jelly roll was sliced and
placed in a flat, 3-inch deep
dish, drizzled with sherry,
topped with a custard or
red gelatin, chilled and
served with whipped
cream.
In America, a trifle is
made in the above- men-
tioned bowl. Layered with
fresh and canned fruits,

cake, pudding and cream, a
trifle is a delight to behold
and a joy to the palate.
Change it for an almost
totally fat and cholesterol-
free dessert. You can't taste
the difference. I use fat-free
whipped topping instead
of whipped cream because
it holds up better and
evaporated skim milk,
undiluted, in the pudding. I
also prefer ladyfingers to
cake. You can get them in
the supermarket; you want
the dry ones not the soft
ones sold in the bakery.

2 (4-serving) packages
vanilla pudding regular
or sugar-free (cook and
serve)
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon brandy or
rum extract (optional)
2 packages lady fingers
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
or 3 cups whipped
topping
1 pint strawberries
2 bananas
1 (15-1/2 ounce) can
sliced peaches
3 kiwi
Sliced almonds, toasted,
optional

The night before, prepare
pudding using the 3 cups
milk. Add the extract to
make Chantilly cream.
Chill.
The next morning, whip
cream (heavy cream
doubles when whipped) or
add whipped topping to
pudding. Whisk until well
blended.
Wash and hull strawber-
ries. Reserving 6, slice the
rest from the point down.
Drain peaches. Peel and
slice bananas and kiwi.
Assemble the trifle by
putting a layer of lady-
Sfingers (split) on the
bottom of the bowl and
arranged upright, spaced
about 1-1/2 inches apart
around the side. Add some
pudding mixture. Add
assorted fruits between the
cakes, creating a pretty
pattern around the bowl.
Top pudding with fruits.
Continue layering with
pudding, fruits and lady-
fingers. End with pudding;
top with the whole berries
and chill.
To toast almonds: Place
purchased sliced almonds
on a cookie sheet and bake
in a 350-degree oven for
about 10 minutes, shaking
pan occasionally. Watch
them carefully so they don't
burn.
To serve: spoon into
dessert dishes and pass the
almonds.
Any combination of
fruits may be used.

Meet da Vinci at Lawnwood Hospital


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

On Tuesday, Aug. 14, the
public has the unique
opportunity to see up-
close the da Vinci Surgical
System and learn about
the tremendous benefits
this robotic system brings
to patients undergoing
surgery.
The da Vinci Surgical
System is a 5-foot robot
that features multi-jointed
mechanical arms, a com-
mand center where a
physician team controls
the robot's movements,
and a three-dimensional
computer monitor. One
surgeon sits at the com-
puter and controls the
robot's motions, while
operating room profes-
sionals .change the instru-

Rants
From page A7
If we (had) that policy in
the 1940s, we would be
speaking German now.
The policy you liberals
seem to love (doesn't)
work, or did' you forget
Sept. 11?
When (President) Clin-
ton was in office (and
when I was in the mili-
tary), how many times
were we attacked as a
nation?
Two bombings of U.S.
embassies in Africa, the
first bombing of the
World Trade Center in
1993, the bombing of
Kobar Towers (where I
lost several friends), and
the bombing of the USS
Cole.
Our only response was
(non-response) and
three $1 million missiles
shot into a empty desert
and warehouse.
If you liberals would
have left the military
alone during the first
Gulf War, we wouldn't be
there now, and I highly
doubt we (would) have
had as much trouble
with terrorists as we do
now.
Your liberal policies
didn't work then, so what
makes you think they'll
work now?
Maybe we do need a
third term for Bush,
because we surely don't
need one for a Clinton.
Do all of us real Ameri-
cans a favor, deport
yourselves and move to
France.
Editor's note: According
to en.wikipedia.org, the
Persian Gulf War began
in Jan. 17, 1991, and
ended 100 hours later
when President (George
H.W.) Bush declared a
cease-fire.
"There was some criti-
cism of the Bush admin-
istration for its decision
to allow Saddam Hussein
to remain in power,
rather than pushing on to
capture Baghdad and
overthrowing his govern-
ment. In their co-written
1998 book, 'A World
Transformed,' Bush and
Brent Scowcroft argued
that such a course would
have fractured the
alliance and would have
had many unnecessary
political and human
costs associated with it."


ments on the machine that
actually touches the
patient.
The operating surgeon
manipulates the robotic
assistant with two hand-
held controls while look-
ing at a 3-D image of the
patient's body on a televi-
sion monitor. The sur-
geon's every move, except
for tremors that could
cause damage to the
patient, is mimicked in
real-time so there are no
lapses between the sur-
geon's movement and the
robot's reaction.
Intuitive Surgical Sys-
tems, the maker of the da
Vinci, will be on hand with
a mobile version of the
robot currently being used
to perform minimally
invasive prostate cancer


surgery at Lawnwood
Regional Medical Center
and Heart Institute. In the
future, gynecologists will
use the robot for surgery
on women.
The robot allows for
minimally invasive surgery
which benefits patients
through fewer complica-
tions and shorter recovery
time. The da Vinci robotic
surgical system is the only
one of its kind between
Jacksonville and Palm
Beach County on the east
coast of Florida.
The public demonstra-
tion is scheduled from 3 to
5 p.m. at the Lawnwood
Pavilion Conference Cen-
ter, 1860 North Lawnwood
Circle in Fort Pierce.
Health care professionals
will be on hand to answer

TC Humane Society helps out neighbor


BY RITA HART
Staff writer

STUART The Humane
Society of the Treasure
Coast had the space and
residents of the. Treasure
Coast had the heart.
After recently learning
that the Huimane Society
of St. Lucie County had
such an abundance of ani-
mals they were forced to
decide to euthanize some
in order to make room for
more, Martin County's
Humane Society of the
Treasure Coast opened
their doors to take in as
many dogs as they could
accommodate.
"We have been taking in
cats arid dogs from Port St.
S-Lucie since last week,"
Candice Veach, director of
Operations for the
Humane Society of the


Treasure Coast said on
Aug. 2.
"As long as we have the
room and the resources to
shelter and care for these
animals so that they might
find 'forever homes,' we
will take them in," she
said.
The Humane Society of
the Treasure Coast has
space to house an average
of 40 to 50 dogs awaiting
adoption. Currently, they
only had space to take in
dogs, as they are at full
capacity for cats.
Initially, the Humane
Society of St. Lucie County
sent its counterpart in
Martin County a total of 17
dogs. After news reports
aired about the situation,
however, 12 dogs were
adopted almost immedi-
ately.
"So they sent us 12


more," said Mrs. Veach.
"We have done so many
adoptions this weekend,
we are going to contact
them again. The dogs they
sent us were awesome
dogs."
As of Aug. 6, only three
dogs from the Humane
Society of St. Lucie County
remained at the Humane
Society of the Treasure
Coast facility.
This is not the first time
the Humane Society of the
Treasure Coast has taken
in animals from other
facilities. In the past,
they've accepted animals
from the Peggy Adams
Animal Rescue League in
West Palm Beach, St. Lucie
County Animal Control
and from shelters as far
away as Alabama and the
Bahamas.
"Obviously, our first pri-


ority is the animals in our
community," said Amy
Christensen, community
outreach director for the
Humane Society of the
Treasure Coast. "But if we
have the space and
resources, we are more
than happy to take them
in. If an animal is in jeop-
ardy, why wouldn't we?"

The Humane Society of
the Treasure Coast is locat-
ed at 4100 S.W. Leighton
Farm Ave., Palm City. For
more information, call
.(772) 223-8822 or visit
www. humane society-

The Humane Society of
St. Lucie County is located

On road of life, strangers are


friends we haven't met yet


house built on a
shaky foundation
L will fall. A tree with
weak roots will soon
topple. A human life
without a strong founda-
tion will struggle and get
stuck, sidetracked or lost.
The foundation stones
are to create a spiritual
base of unconditional
love, then family love and
love of friends.
It is time we let go of our
fears and differences, take
a look at our similarities
and move forward togeth-
er as a team. For this to
happen,.we have to make
a shift in our mission in
life. We have to surrender
our lower will, ego and
divided thinking, go
within, rediscover our
higher, spiritual nature,
bring it out and set it free.
A strong spiritual
foundation is one based
on unconditional love
instead of hate, peace
rather than war, health not
disease, abundance
instead of poverty, faith
instead of fear and joy
rather than sadness.
It all comes down to the
choices we make and
where we place our focus
and attention.
The lower will thinks in a
divided way, like good and
evil, right and wrong, and
positive and negative.
The universal spirit or
will, however, is based on
the principle of "like
attracts like."
What we sow we reap
back multiplied. The
supreme law is "tenfold
return."
If you are suffering from
hunger, fear, sadness and
other negative conditions;
you aren't sowing the right
seeds. If you have a need,
sow a seed and help it'
grow. It doesn't have to just
be in a garden. It can be in
every area of life.
If you are hungry in the

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

Virtually every car dealer of educa

the price of cars he sells, a Sophisti
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 much higi
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
Y M EN T and your profit in such a manner that it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
culture wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
s like one and when I stopped charging it a few years
with your ago it was scary. But I did it because I could

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
teIners' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new

same.


tion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
atiol are I think of myself as the new
"sheriff" that has come to
er 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
learn 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.
Sincerely,

Arizona woman
receives
probation for
scamming Stuart

Nadia Elizabeth Flores,
27, an Arizona woman
charged with grand theft,
possession of a con-
trolled substance, pos-
session of drug parapher-
nalia and driving without
a valid license, pleaded
no contest to the charges
and received two years'
probation on Aug. 3.
Ms. Flores, along with
fellow Arizonan Duda
Floris, 34, were observed
by Martin County Sher-
iff's detectives of going
from one parking lot to
another in Stuart, offer-
ing people palm readings
and the removal of curs-
es.
The undercover detec-
tives began following the
women after such scams
were reported in Martin,
St. Lucie and Palm Beach
counties.
After witnessing the
two suspects approach a
couple in a parking lot on
S.E. Indian Street in Stu-
art, the detectives con-
tinued to follow the
group to the couple's
home on S.E. Delmar
Street, where the couple
gave the suspects $740 in
cash in exchange for the
removal of a curse.

The couple closed their
eyes while Ms. Floris said
she was tearing the
money up and that it
would return to the cou-
ple in three days, in its
original condition.
The wife opened her
eyes, however, and saw
Ms. Floris tearing up $1
and $5 bills, at the same
time that she put the
$740 in her pocket.
The detectives followed
Ms. Flores and Ms. Floris
after they left the couple's
home to make an arrest.
A subsequent search of
Ms. Flores' purse resulted
in the finding of cannabis
and drug paraphernalia.
Ms. Floris, who was
also charged with grand
theft, had not been sen-
tenced as of press time.

M ans: auditions for
L.he Pineapple Play-
house's production of Clark
Gesner's musical comedy,
"You're a Good Man, Char-
lie Brown" will take place
on Aug. 12-14. For more
information, call the box
office at (772) 465-0388.
Barn Theatre auditions
for "The Amorous Ambas-
sador," a farce by Michael
Parker, take place on the
same days. Call (772) 287-

The Barn's season will be
a bit different this year.
They will do six plays
instead of five, but the
plays will only run for 13
performances over three
weeks, instead of 18 per-
formances over four weeks.
Another change is that
dress rehearsal will no
longer be open to the pub-
lic; regulations governing
royalties have made this
necessary.
A special treat is in store
for those coming to open-
ing night of "The Amorous
Ambassador"on Sept. 21.
Playwright Michael Park-
er will be in attendance. A
special reception will be
held after the performance;
it is open to the public and
is a chance to meet the
author, cast, and director,
John Foland. Mr. Parker has
also agreed to present a
two-hour comedy work-
shop on Sept. 22 and this is
also open to the public.

Aries-March 21-April 19
The joy of achievement is the fuel for the fire in
your soul. Nothing thrills you more than seeing a
plan work out that gives joy to you and those in
your circle of life. The timing is perfect for you to
launch the new project you have been develop-
ing. Set this large heart in motion and you are
capable of great achievement.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Reach further toward your life goals and you will
be well pleased with the results. You know what
you want. When you write it down, set a goal and
take action, very little will stand in the way, if you
persevere. Besides this, your loyalty is another
super quality you demonstrate.- No one makes a
better friend than Taurus.

Take more action on your main goal and you will
see visible evidence of success. You always seem
to make it happen despite large challenges that
would hold others back. Let your senses and
instincts guide and you will be amazed at all you
get done.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Wise choices come when your mind, heart and
soul are open and working together to enhance
your life and the lives of others you touch. Keep
the focus on love, peace, health, abundance and
joy in every area of life. This gives you the neces-
sary energy, desire and ideas to accomplish all
your dreams.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
You have a full plate in life. You could say this is a
feast in your honor. The key to success is to par-
take of the things you love. Leave the others alone
or give them to others who may love them. Posi-
tive choices have a universal blessing. Your gut
feeling is never wrong when you hear and trust it.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You are right where you need to be for the time
being. You are taking better care of your health.,
Your mind is focused and your heart and spirit are
free. You have many new ideas. Sort them out and
put them into practice. Keep learning new things.
You are a student of the universe with a very
inquisitive mind.


Libra-Sept. 23-Oct.22
Change is good for you, Libra. The motivation
comes from the heart. Yournatural good judg-
ment, humanity and helpful spirit always seems to
put you in the right place and time to serve others
with a need. You continue to make a large, posi-
tive impact on everyone, and are highly respected
and widely emulated.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Scorpio is one of the strongest signs in the zodiac.
It stems from your large heart. You are a class act
and a winner. Don't ever forget this. Being the
eighth sign, you hold the power in the universe.
You are an unsung hero. You hang in there when
others are losing it. This divine blessing makes
your dreams come true.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Choose to be at peace with yourself and all others.
Feel joy in your heart and trust the divine guidance
that loves and protects you. Become a messenger
of unconditional love for all living things. Then the
universe will enrich you daily in body, mind, heart
and soul. Now all is well in your world.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You are on an exciting journey in life. Let others
around you know how much you appreciate their
help and support. Just make sure you pace your-
self and stay balanced in your many pursuits.
Avoid burnout by making quality time for yourself

Well-known jazz musician and artist Joe Holiday of Port St. Lucie spoke at the St. Lucie
County Cultural Affairs Council Awards meeting, where he accepted a mini-grant on
behalf of the St. Lucie Professional Art League in January 2007.


Sax player takes a Holiday


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Joseph Befumo was
born in Sicily, but his fam-
ily moved to Newark, N.J.,
when he was a baby. He
began playing the clarinet
as a child and then got
hold of a saxophone; as a
young man he loved jazz
and worked in black clubs
for the jazz experience. He
was often the only white
musician.
In the 1940s, Joe Befumo
formed his own band and
band members tossed
around a few names that
were easier to remember
than Befumo. Someone
suggested 'Holiday'
because it sounded happy,
and as Joe Holiday, he
became a well-known sax-
ophonist and one of the
few white musicians to
play the fabled Apollo
Theater in NewYork.
The Port St. Lucie resi-
dent and president of the
St. Lucie Professional Art
League spoke by phone
from New Jersey, where he
spends the summers,
about his long career,
both as a musician and an
artist.
"After a lot of years of
club playing, Prestige
Records called," he says.
"They were the biggest
jazz label. I went in to see
Bob Weinstock (Prestige's
founder) and got a con-
tract. He told me I could
do anything I wanted, but
he wanted me to do one
song, "This is Happiness,"
a Latin song, in a jazz
style. It took off like crazy
and sold thousands and
thousands. That was pret-


me," he says. "It's a bit of a
risk. John's wife, Vyki, the
musical director, is a
tremendous help and the
cast is really good. I'm the
only one who doesn't have
to be a really good singer."
Mr. McConville says he
was drawn to the role
because much of it is
talk/singing, where the
ability to put over a song is
perhaps more important
than singing ability.
"Two by Two" tells the
story of Noah, his family,
and the flood. The show
originally played on
Broadway starring Danny
Kaye as Noah.
"Noah changes a lot,"
Mr. McConville says. "He
starts off as a grumpy
know-it-all who sees the
negative and has trouble
with his kids. After his wife
dies, he comes to respect
his sons and learns to be
more laid back and toler-
ant It mirrors my own life.
My wife passed away and I
learned a lot from that
experience."
Despite the death of
Noah's wife, Esther, the
play is funny and tongue-
in-cheek. When God tells
Noah about the flood,


"I used strictly Latin players. I did it on pur-
pose. We barely had verbal communication,
but the music worked."

Joseph Befumo
Jazz musician


ty good for a jazz non-
vocal recording. We were
on the charts for 10 or 15
weeks."
The success of the 1951
recording led to the gigs at
Birdland and the Apollo
and to popular jazz cities
like Chicago, Detroit and
St. Louis. Mr. Holiday had
the opportunity to record
with other jazz musicians
including Max Roach and
Billy Taylor. His music
drew from two, of his idols,
Stan Getz and Lester
Young.
Mr. Holiday loved the
Latin sound, and he used
players from Cuban jazz
musician Machito's band,
the Afro-Cubans.
"I used strictly Latin
players," he says. "I did it
on purpose. We barely had
verbal communication,
but the music worked.
'Mambo Jazz,' released in
1953 and re-released in
the 1990s on CD, featured
Machito and his Orches-
tra, as well as Max Roach,
Cecil Payne, Billy Taylor
and Idrees Sulieman."
Mr. Holiday and his wife
moved to Port St. Lucie
nearly 20 years ago and he
is well-known as an
abstract painter who fre-
quently uses jazz themes
in his .works.
He is active in efforts to
bring both jazz and art to
area schoolchildren and
was honored by the St.


Lucie County Cultural
Affairs Council in 2005
with a Lifetime Achieve-
ment Award.
Recently, Mr. Holiday
was invited to see the
restoration of the Apollo
Theater in New York.
"It's absolutely gor-
geous," he says. "I was one
of the few white guys to
have a featured big band
at the Apollo. For that
time, it was a big deal. The
manager told me I was
part of their history. I
stood on the bandstand
where I led the big band
and I got a kick out of it.
I've had an interesting
life."


Noah sings a song, "Why
Me?" Mr. McConville
likens it to the current
movie, "Evan Almighty,"
which also deals with
Noah and the flood.
"People are used to the
stories being told tongue-
in-cheek," he says. "The
writers are geniuses. They
can take an epic or reli-
gious event and bring it
-into everyday life."
The family-friendly
show will have kids playing
a prominent role; they will
portray the animals that
Noah brings into the Ark.
Mr. McConville hopes that
families will come to see
the show and be enter-,
tained.
"Some of Richard
Rodgers' songs are as good
as any he's written," the
performer says.
"Two By Two" will take
place at Aldersgate United
Methodist Church, 5200
S.W. Martin Highway, Palm
City on August 17-18 at 8
p.m. and on August 19 at 3
p.m. Tickets are $20 for
adults and $10 for chil-
dren. The production is a
fundraising event for the
church. Call (772) 288-

Cajun/Zydeco band The

house last summer when
they appeared at the Blake
Library.
On Nov. 24, Rick Hub-
bard and his All-Kid Kazoo
Band and the Melody Sim-

festivities and on Nov. 25,
there will be two perform-
ances of The Lucy and Desi

deaths of two of the broth-
ers, Barry and Bill.
Bob said that they had an
"awesome" time at the
Lyric and that they were
happy with everything
except that the show might
have run too long. You
couldn't tell that from the
audience, which loved the
show, the banter and the
encores.
After seeing The Lovin'
Spoonful a few weeks ago, I
realized that these bands
bring a lot of pleasure
reminding people of songs
they remember, some they
didn't know, new songs and
insights gleaned from hav-
ing been around a lot
longer than they were
when they first sang the
tunes.
Both bands have some
original members and
some newcomers. Bob
Cowsill says they hope to
make a return visit to Stuart
and he'll keep us posted.

Do a little research before


getting a pedicure


I gave up biting my
cuticles seven years ago
when I had cancer and
was having chemotherapy.
I didn't want to risk
infections, but I needed a
boost to my spirits, so I
started having mini-
manicures that involved
no cutting, but just a buff
and some polish. It was a
great pick-me-up.
When we moved to
Florida, I started wearing
open-toed shoes all the
time, and I began to think
about branching out to
pedicures.
When I was diagnosed
with lupus, an autoim-
mune illness, I realized
that my immune system
was never going to be
strong, and infections
were always a possibility.
I was worried about
having pedicures, espe-
cially after seeing reports
of unsafe and sanitary
conditions at some salons.
I decided to do a little
research to see if there was
a safe way to indulge my
feet without risking my
health.
People with compro-
mised immune systems
are not the only ones who
have to worry about
infections.
Diabetics are prone to
foot problems for a variety
of reasons, including poor
circulation. Diabetics and
anyone with health
problems should consult
their doctor about
whether a pedicure is safe
for them.
When I was given a gift
certificate to a day spa, I
decided to find out specifi-
cally what consumers
should expect in terms of
sanitation and health
concerns.
I spoke with Robin Hall,
a licensed aesthetician at A

are preferable because
they do not have jets,
which are difficult to clean
and may harbor bacteria
that can be spread from
person to person.
If the spa or salon
schedules appointments
back-to-back, there may
not be sufficient time for
the tubs to be properly
cleaned.
Proper cleaning and
disinfecting takes more
than a swipe and a wipe
with a cloth and requires
sufficient time to do the
job properly. Non-stop
business may mean the
equipment is not cleaned
properly.
Make sure the salon
seems clean and make
sure all implements are
sanitized in a medical
grade disinfectant.


After sanitizing, they
should be kept in closed
containers.
Disposable items, such
as pedicure slippers,
should not be reused.
Some people like to
bring their own imple-
ments to use at the salon;
make sure that you clean
and disinfect them proper-
ly after use.
The use of callus blades
and the removal of callus-
es are prohibited in every
state because cutting is
involved and that is
considered a medical
procedure.
Calluses may be
smoothed, but they may
not be cut.
If you get a cut or nick
while receiving any kind of
treatment, the procedure
should be stopped imme-


Confusion Over "Homes
Costly for F


WEST PALM BEACH When it comes to
the terms "Homestead Exemption" and'
"Homestead Declaration," it's fair to say that'
Floridians are more than a little confused.
Unfortunately, that confusion could spell
disaster for property owners who think they
have legal protection they don't have.
According to Tom Rucker, owner of
Homestead Declaration Services located in
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, it's estimated
that over 90% of Florida homeowners don't
know the difference between the two terms,
and that could mean big trouble.
The Homestead Exemption is simply a tax
break, while the Homestead Declaration is a
sworn statement to claim property as a
homestead. Most property owners think that
filing for the former protects their property
from a forced sale, but it's the latter the
Homestead Declaration -- that they really
need to have.
The Homestead Exemption was estab-.
lished by statute to provide qualified home-
owners with a reduction in taxes. Contrary to
what many Floridians believe, as well many
lawyers and real estate agents, it does not
provide total legal protection of your home-
stead. It's not a constitutional right, and fil-
ing for the tax break does not fully protect a
property owner from lawsuits, judgments or
creditors.
On the other hand, the Homestead
Declaration can do just that. Also estab-
lished by statute, it allows property owners
to claim a property as their homestead and
to "designate" or "set it apart" to protect it
from a forced sale to satisfy creditors. A
homeowner can get the maximum amount
of homestead protection under the law for


diately and the cut cleaned
and covered with a plastic
bandage.
"It's important to
remember that we're not
doctors," said Ms. Hall.
"We never diagnose,
prescribe or give remedies.
It's not our job."
She tells customers to
see their physicians or a
podiatrist for any health-
related concerns.
_ I've been enjoying my
pedicures now, feeling
confident that .my feet are
in good hands.

stead" Terms Could Be
loridians
properly up to acre inside municipalities
and 160 acres of land in unincorporated
areas, but onl iI he or she has properly
claimed ,such rights. To do that, the proper
Declaration form hai- to he filled out proper-
ly, notarized and recorded with the county
clerk.
"We have to emphasize that filing for the
tax break, the so-called 'Homestead
Exemption,' DOES NOT fully protect your
homestead' as most believe,", Rucker said.
"Unless you have filed a Homestead
Declaration, you only get the tax break. As
important as that may be, it doesn't legally
declare your property as a homestead, and
only that declaration provides you with the
full legal protection you need."
Rucker went on to say that every Florida
homeowner should file the Homestead
Declaration regardless of the value of their
home. "The declaration is one page long, it's
inexpensive to obtain, and might just save a
property owner from economic disaster,"
He noted, too, that county tax appraisal
offices are frequently unable to answer
questions concerning the designation of a
homestead and protecting the property
from a forced sale.
Though they vary from one state to anoth-
er, homestead statutes are similar in intent.
They are designed to preserve family homes,
which might otherwise be taken in times of
misfortune or the death of the head of the
household. However, this protection is gen-
erally available if the declaration is filed in
advance of such a catastrophe.
Property owners can learn more about this
important subject and obtain the proper
forms at www.Homestead-USA.info.

Why would I advertise

There are two reasons.
First it "cuts the clutter."
The challenge to any
advertiser is for the
commercial to get noticed
(and mine sure did). The
second reason I spoke in

respect to those (or that of

native tongue. If you have
ever traveled abroad, you
may have experienced
this. If you have not seen
my ad and would like to

Internet link
www.youtube. com/Earl-
StewartToyota.
Little did I realize when
I first began to run my
Hispanic TV advertise-
ment what a stir it would
cause. The complaints
started right away, some
in the form of e-mails and
some phone calls. I
averaged about five calls a
day and two or three e-
mails. There were some
positive comments, but
mostly negative..I began
to wonder whether I was
doing something that
would hurt my business,
but I could see no tangi-
ble evidence that anyone
had not bought a car from
me because of this ad.
About half of the calls and
e-niails were anonymous.
Recently, the press
picked up on this and
there were news articles
in the Sun Sentinel and
Palm Beach Post. This
*caused the tide to turn to
favorable comments.
Also, I'm getting very
positive feedback from a
lot of Hispanics. I have
not received on single
negative call or e-mail
from anyone of Hispanic
-descent. Currently, the
favorable comments are
running about 10:1.
I have gone from
worrying about whether
this ad would harm my
business, to actually
wondering if this may not
be the most effective
advertisement I ever ran.
This whole personal
experience was like taking
a course in sociology. The
negative callers fell into
three categories.
The first, and most
numerous (about 50
percent), were the anony-
mous callers. They would
call, state their outrage at
my ad and then hang up.
The 'second were those
who did give their names,
but refused to listen to my
reasoning behind my ad.
These callers were less
than the anonymous
(about 25 percent) and
about the same number
as the third category.
These callers were actual-
ly polite. They stated their
concerns and were quite
willing to listen to "my
side of the story."
The anonymous callers
were virtually all rude,
vulgar and profane. From
what I could garner from
their one-way rants, they
were very, very angry. I
also detected "fear" in
many of their voices.
Some sounded like they
had written their words
out in advance so they
could be sure they got it
right. These callers clearly
had no knowledge of what
my ad is designed to

accomplish. They seemed
to think that most of the
Hispanics in South
Florida don't speak
English and are here
illegally. I hope some of
these callers will call back
and listen to my explana-
tion.
The second group was
the most disturbing to
* me. They were not anony-
mous and they were not
nearly as rough in their
language, but I was
disturbed because I could
not change their minds
even after they allowed
me to explain. I do believe
that most of them hung
up with less anger in their
hearts toward me, and
most of them dropped
their threat never to buy a
car from me, but they
would not change their
minds about my ad..
The third group was
very nice and civil.
Although they called to
express dissatisfaction to
my ad, they welcomed my
explanation. I really ,
enjoyed my exchanges-
with these intelligent and
open-minded callers.
After hearing my explana-
tion, they did a "180" and
understood my advertis-
ing tactics. That's not to
say that they liked them
and agreed with them, but
they understood. They
knew that I meant no
disrespect to anyone, and
that I was simply a car
dealer trying to sell some
more cars. Several:said
that they would buy their
next car from me.
The sociological lesson I
learned (and am learning)
from this experience is as
follows: education must
always be a priority in a
society.
Ignorance is very
dangerous. You cannot
have bigotry and preju-
dice without ignorance
being part of the equa-
tion.l learned this from
the first set of anonymous
callers.
My next lesson is that
education isn't always
enough. If a person is
born and raised in a
bigoted, prejudiced
environment, this can be
embedded in his emo-
tions so deeply that
education will not
remove his negative
feelings.
Sometimes it takes
more than one generation
of knowledge and
enlightenment to free one
of prejudice and bigotry.
We know that many of the
Muslim terrorists were
highly educated.
My most pleasant
lesson was from the third
group who were educat-
ed, open minded and
willing to listen to anoth-
er opinion. This final'
lesson was that educated,
informed people who
were raised in a loving
environment can "agree
to disagree."
It was E Scott Fitzgerald
who said that the most
accurate test of a great
mind is the ability to hold
two opposing ideas in
one's head at the same
time.

FESL playoffs shoot the lights out

Night suspends one semifinal; Palmeiras rout PSL in other


BY MATT DEWHURST

On paper, Palmeiras S.C.
was supposed to. rout the
Port St. Lucie Hurricanes.
And they did.
The No. 1 team in the
Florida Elite Soccer League


playoffs defeated the No. 4
Hurricanes, 7-1, to advance
to the championship game.
The win also kept
Palmeiras undefeated (7-0-
2) in FESL play.

head coach Safet
Huseinevio. "No matter
who we play it will be a
tough game. We'll have a
game on our hands."
Palmeiras striker Ignacio
Calcagno had three goals
to help lead the team based
out of Palm City.
"The defense was playing
too much up front,"
Calcagno said. "I saw a lot
of holes and we moved the
ball well."
For Port St. Lucie, the loss
marked the end of a very
tough first season. With a
roster that fields more high
school standouts than off-
season professionals, Port
St. Lucie had to wait until

to get their first win, a 10-1

would be their only win of

But Port St. Lucie looked
impressive in a 4-1 loss to

and, despite their record,
had some thinking their

would be closer. But with

Palmeiras overpowered the

Tuesday, Wednesday best days to visit PGA Tour


W th the upcom-
ng PGA Tour
event being
played in Oct. 22-28 at
Tesoro in Port St. Lucie, I
thought I should give all
of you a tip or two on
which days are best to
either take off from work.
The best days to check
out an event on the PGA
Tour are Tuesday and
Wednesday. You should
drop by an' witness the
craziness that goes into
preparing for a tour
event.
You may think that I'm
talking about the players
practicing and honing
their game. I am not.
Instead, I am speaking
of the mayhem that goes,
on behind the practice
tee and practice green in
the secrecy of the parking
lot.
It is here that one finds
a sea of tour vans, a
recreational golfer's ver-
sion of nirvana.
The tour van is the
garage for the touring
pro. It is here that the
players go to have their
equipment tuned and set
up just right every week.
Anyone who has
attended a NASCAR or
Formula One race can
attest to just how manic
things can be in the
garage area at a race.
While golf normally takes
a laid back, slow pace
that is certainly not the


case in the land of the
tour vans.
Most of us have a
favorite driver that we
use nearly every week
without thinking of
switching it out. Some of
us haven't changed out a
club in our bag in years.
On the other hand, tour
pros are constantly tin-
kering with their equip-
ment.
One week they may
need their drives to carry
farther because of wet
conditions or- fairway
bunkers. The next week
the conditions may call
for a low drive that rolls
more and stays below the
wind. Players may also
face a course with more
trouble down the left side
of holes, so they want a
club that is harder to
hook, thus taking that
trouble out of play with-
out adjusting their swing
or even their aim.
All of this takes place in
the tour vans.
Just about all of the
major companies, and
some of the smaller ones,
have a tour van that fol-
lows the tours to nearly
every stop.
Taylor Made has one of
the largest trucks and
staffs in the business.
This full-size rig has
everything a club builder
needs to produce, repair
or tweak any club made
by the company.
With a large contingent


JAMES STAMMER
Golf columnist

of staff players and being
the No. 1 supplier of driv-
ers every week, the Taylor
Made Tour Van is a very
busy place.
While the players work
on their games and test
out different clubs on the
practice tee, a Taylor
Made representative
walks the tee area field-
ing questions from play-,
ers.
Some ask about the lat-
est products from the
company and what it will
do for their games. Oth-
ers inquire about the
products they are testing
or place an order for one
they wish to try.
The rep then runs to
the van, order form in
hand, and gives the order
to the club builders. The
order winds up in a spot
similar to what you see at
your local deli when the
lunch crowd descends.
The club builder pulls
the next order, locates

the pieces he needs and
begins to assemble the
club. Once complete, the
club is run to the practice
tee for the player to try.
Usually, the player
knows with just a couple
of swings if the club has
any chance of making his
bag.
The usual routine is to
hit his old club, then try
the new one comparing
the feel, trajectory and
result.
More often than not,
the club heads back to
the van for a little tweak-
ing.
Sometimes the tweak-
ing involves putting in a-
different shaft or adjust-
ing the lie. There are
times when the adjust-
ment is a simple as put-
ting on a different grip.
For the guys working in
the van, there is little
respite from their day.


However, when they do
get a chance to sit down,
they may enjoy a cool
drink from the large
refrigerator, sit down on a
soft sofa or catch up on
the golf news coming
from the television. It's
also a nice spot for play-
ers to sit down and relax
while waiting for their
equipment to be com-
pleted.
So if you have the
opportunity to attend the
Ginn Classic this Octo-
ber, try to drop by on
Tuesday or Wednesday
and take a peek behind
the scenes.

the most dramatic finish of
the 2007 Florida Elite Soc-
cer League season.
And then the lights went
out.
The game had run longer
than expected, and past
the time allowed by park
officials, or at least the
timer on the field lights.
The parks lights are set on
a timer to go on and off,
and at 10:25 p.m., they
went off.
Fans, coaches and play-
ers lined their cars against
the playing field hoping
headlights would serve as a
makeshift light source, but
referees had already called
the game.
And a trip to the Florida
Elite Soccer League Cham-
pionship was held in
limbo.
Initially, the decision was
made to replay the entire
game on Aug. 5, however,
that plan was replaced
after both teams could not
field a full roster on that
date.
"The coaches want to
play, they love the game
too much to see the game
be decided by penalty
kicks," said Strikers general
manager and player Nick
Lane. "We don't want to
show up just to take a few
shots."
But that might be exactly
what happens.
At the time of publica-
tion, the decision had been
made to have both Trea-
sure Coast (4-3-1) and
Space Coast (6-2) attend
the championship match

The St. Lucie County
Sheriff's Office Sheriff's

against Palmeiras, and
have the shootout before
the game with the winner
staying on to compete for
the trophy.
"This is what we thought
was the most fair," said
Andre Ruette, FESL com-
missioner and co-owner of
the Galleons.
The Strikers dominated
the season series between
the two teams, wining 2-1
in the season opener and
5-1 in the season finale.
Space looked like it was
going, to continue that
dominance when the
stormed out to an early 2-0
lead with goals from Brian
Lundy and Nick Rasek.
But Treasure Coast for-
ward Hansen Woodruff
added a late goal before
halftime that cut the lead
in half and gave the
Galleons life.
Just minutes into the sec-
ond period Anthony Sierra
tied the score with a shot
from the left corner of the
.field that floated just over
the goalie's head and rolled
to the back of the net.
Both teams had repeated
shots on goal the rest of the
game but neither was able
to get past exceptional play
by goalies Gustavo Arago-
laza (Treasure Coast) and
AdamWebb (Space Coast).
The FESL Championship
will be held either Satur-
day, Aug. 11 or Sunday,
Aug. 12 at a location yet to
be determined.
