Taxes may not be as reformed as you think


The 'recapture
rule' is forcing
taxes up even in
a down year
BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
MARTIN COUNTY By
now most Martin County
residents should have their
2008 property tax notices, in
hand and may be wonder-
ing what's happened since
June when Governor Charlie
Crist said the state's proper-
ty taxes would "drop like a
rock."
The much-publicized tax
cut evidently hasn't made
much of a drop, and the
average homeowner in Mar-
tin County will see less than
$400 in savings.

Valliere Plan to
have additional
hearings
By DONALD RODRIGUE

ISTUAiXi .\ divided
Martin County Commis-
sion voted to amend the
County's Comprehensi\ e
Growth Plan on Aug. 21
and allow smaller lot
sizes and denser devel-
opnment in the western
pait of the county
Commissioners lee
Weberman and Sarah
Heard dissented on the
passage of' the Valliere
Amendment, named
after the sponsoring
Commissioner Susan Val-
liere. Its backers believe
the proposal will gain the
county conservation
lands at no cost while
allowing more growth in
the region.
Commissioners debat-
ed the pros and cons of
the amendment during a
packed public hearing in
I See GROWTH, A4


Appraiser Laurel Kelly can
explain why: She's required
by law to raise the value of
all homesteaded properties,
even if the market value has
dropped over the last year.
For this tax year she was
required to employ a 2.5
percent tax increase on the
assessed value.
"The assessed value must
legally climb to meet the
market value," Mrs. Kelly
said.
The Save Our Homes
Amendment, passed by vot-
ers in 1992, limits property
tax increases to 3 percent a
year on homestead proper-
ties, but requires that taxes
go up every year in conjunc-
tion with the Consumer
Price Index.
This is the case even in a
year of falling property val-
ues. Taxing authorities must
raise taxes on homesteaded


properties because they're
not being taxed at full value.
* That was not the inten-
tion of the amendment's
author, Lee County tax
appraiser Kenneth Wilkin-
son, who calls himself "the
very proud father" of Save
Our Homes. He says that
state officials added lan-
guage, now known as the
recapture rule, to his origi-
nal bill and was shocked
when he read the final
wording.
"I went ballistic," he said.
"I appealed the rule, along
with many other property
appraisers in Florida. It was
never in the original lan-
guage of the constitutional
amendment. They'll tell you
it's in there because they
interpreted it that way."
This last year was the first
time that property values
have significantly fallen


"I have an open-door policy, and we encour-
age people to come in and learn about the
rules that we follow. We're accountable, and
we want to show how we appraise their prop-
erties."

Laurel Kelly
Martin County tax appraiser


since Save Our Homes was
implemented, and 'the
recapture rule is kicking in
on the 2008 tax bills.
Ironically, if you're the
owner of a non-homestead-
ed property in Martin Coun-
ty, your taxes .may have
dropped, since you've been
paying taxes on the full
assessed market value. But if
they didn't drop, Mrs. Kelly
says it may be due to the fact
that the value was deter-

STUARI" He sat on a
barstool and waited his turn
while a woman old enough
to be his mother throttled
the mike, warbling an '80s
song foi an indifferent
crowd.
"Gloria! Gloria!" she
called to no one in particu-
lar.
In two da\ s, Chad
Granese would test his
p:pe; for producers of the
most-watched show on TF.
In the meantime, he sipped
his beer.
He was up next. This was
rehearsal.
Dangling from his wrist
was a white paper band,
inscribed with the "Ameri-
can Idol" logo.
That wristband,+ which
Mr. Granese and an esti-
mated 15,000 others
claimed early last week,
afforded them a 20-second
audition with "Idol" pro-
ducers at Miami's Ameri-
canAirlines Arena.


Producers for the 1-ox
show scoured seven cities
this summer, searching for
contestants for the seventh
season of "Idol." set to pre-
niiere in lanuary.
For Mr. Granese, 25, this
was his second attempt at a
golden ticket. Last year, the
First Bank of Indiantown
teller made a 12-hour drive
to Birmingham, Ala., to
audition. He waited in line
for sL\ hours to belt 20 sec-
onds of "Your Song."
Sorry, the producers told
him. You're not what we're
looking for.
This time, he's polishing
"Desperado," the Eagles'
classic covered by everyone
from Clint Black to Linda
Rondstadt.
Tonight, "Desperado" will
be his encore.
"I just really want to make
it," Mr. Granese said.
So, last Monday night, it
was time to practice.
Behind Mr. Granese, the
woman finished her set,

- the impressively long
note that capped the song.
It was his turn.
By now, the crowd at
Charlie's Bar & Grill on Indi-
an Road was beginning to
thicken, men in cowboy
hats and Wranglers and
women wearing sparkly
tank tops and low-slung
jeans.


On the oversized screen
above his head, the words
to George Strait's "Blue
Clear Sky" started to scroll.
"You swear you've had
enough," Mr. Granese
began, the barest of twangs
seeping into his voice.
"You're ready to give up."
In Birmingham last year,
producers led the prospec-


tive contestants in umpteen
performances of "Sweet
Home Alabama" for a wide-
angle crowd shot.
"When I left, I hated that
song," Mr. Granese said.

Radioactive water leak forces nuclear


power plant to shut down for cleanup


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
HUTCHINSON ISLAND-
Florida Power and Light work-
ers were forced to shut down
reactor Unit 2 at the St. Lucie
nuclear power plant after
radioactive water leaked with-
in the plant's containment,
building.
A report from the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commis-
sion stated that work crews
shut the Unit 2 down after


noticing a water leak in a
three-quarter-inch diameter
pipe grow from 0.16 gallons a
minute to 0.45 gallons a
minute over a two-day period
earlier this month.
Power company officials
and federal regulators said
there was never a threat to the
public. FPL spokesperson
Tom Veenstra said the leak
would not pose a threat to the
environment or the atmos-
phere since it was located
within the containment


building and emphasized that
there was no threat to any-
one's health or well-being.
Roger Hannah, a
spokesperson for the regula-
tory commission, said that
nuclear power plants occa-
sionally find such leaks,
although they are not an
everyday occurrence. The
water from small leaks col-
lects in a pool at the bottom of
the steel and concrete con-
tainment unit and do not
always trigger a shut-down,


he said. Those leaks are some-
times repaired during regular-
ly scheduled maintenance.
Mr. Veenstra said workers
will carefully inspect the rest
of the reactor while repairing
the leaky pipe. Unit 2 is
expected to remain off-line
through the week of Aug. 31.
The reactor shut-down is
not expected to affect the
power supply to customers
since FPL can increase gener-
ation at the company's other
power plants.

Former South Fork teacher sentenced
Former Martin County high school teacher Shawn
Trotter was sentenced by Martin County Circuit Judge
Larry Schack to 10 years for having sex with a minor
three times in a classroom closet.
Prosecutors used DNA evidence found in the carpet
from both Mr. Trotter, 35, and the 16-year-old female,
to force Mr. Trotter to accept a plea bargain. Mr. Trot-
ter will have to 10 years of sex offender probation
after serving out his sentence.
In order to avoid a trial and face a maximum penal-
ty of 45 years in prison, Mr. Trotter pleaded no con-
test on July 25 and did not testify on his own behalf.
His father-in-law, did, however, and continued to
proclaim the family's belief in his innocence.
The father of the victim attended the hearing; but
did not testify during the sentencing.

Stuart officials plan youth curfew

Stuart Police Chief Ed Morley has been discussing a
possible curfew for city youth for the last few weeks
with City Attorney Paul Nicoletti.
According to Mr. Nicoletti, the curfew could be pat-
terned after the "youth protection ordinance"
approved by the Fort Pierce City Commission last
March, which requires minors under 17 to be off the
streets between midnight and 6 a.m. seven days a
week.
Members of the Martin County chapter of the
NAACP and community leaders have been calling for
a curfew in the wake of an early morning street fight
on Aug. 5 that left a 16-year-old Hobe Sound youth
dead.

Indiantown to see new development
The Martin County Commission recently helped
facilitate the construction of the Fort Dawson subdivi-
sion by voting to extend water service to the 558-acre
property.
Developer Clyde Dawson has been trying to get Com-
mission approval for five years and now hopes to soon
break ground on the project. He will submit the site
plan for the project to the Commission by the end of
the year.
Fort Dawson is Mr. Dawson's dream of creating an
"aero-equestrian" development for both pilots and
horse enthusiasts. Each of the 108 home sites would be
a minimum of five acres.
Since Fort Dawson was first proposed in 2002, other
developers have come forward with proposals for more
than 6,000 houses and new commercial buildings.

The two different maps show the difference between the

how the same land would look with the clustering pro-
posed by the Valliere Amendment.

which the crowd had to be
admonished after several
booed while Commissioner
Valliere was speaking.
Written with input from
local environmentalist and
former county commission-
er Mary Dawson, the
amendment had been
through so many revisions
since it was first proposed in
June that Commissioner
Heard accused the final
project of being "prepared
in secret."
"It's not fair to the Com-
mission or to the public,"
she said. ,
The County's Compre-
hensive Growth Plan cur-
rently allows developers to
construct 20-acre
ranchettes on the western
lands, but the Valliere
Amendment would open
the area to more develop-
ments. As safeguards, it
would require the projects
to be at least 500 acres in
size, set aside at least 50 per-
cent of the land in perpetu-
ity as' contiguous open
space and have a minimum
lotsize of two acres.
Both commissioners Val-
liere and Heard based their
views on ecological con-
cerns and the need to fulfill
Martin County's obligations
for the Comprehensive
Everglades Restoration Plan
(CERP).
"The whole thing is that I
want lands conserved
because we cannot afford to
buy it," Commissioner Val-
liere said.
Commissioner Heard
expressed concern about
the restoration of lands
along the Indian River
Lagoon, fearing that an
exemption in the amend-
ment excluding lands for
conservation that were "pre-
viously impacted by agricul-
ture" would hinder the
county's conservation
efforts.
"This i absolutely shame-
ful policy direction for Mar-
tin Counr d to be taking," she
said. "We'd lose the Indian
River Lagoon Plan. Our first
priority is to protect die
environment." .
Both the commissioners
and some in attendance
spoke about the. desire .to
protect agriculture and con-
trol urban sprawl. Citizens
speaking out against the
amendment feared smaller
lot sizes would contribute to
the problem, while those
promoting the amendment
claimed it would help to
control sprawl by clustering
the developments.
In defense of of clustered
growth, Ms. Dawson said in
a recent guest editorial that
much of Martin County was
already clustering develop-
ments but simply referring
to them as planned unit
developments, or PUDs.
Brenda Boland lives in
one such PUD, the Florida
Club, located off S.E. Kanner
Highway on the fringes of
Martin County's urban area.
Ms. Boland said she's
against amending the com-
prehensive growth plan
because she's seen first-
hand how developments
such as hers could negative-
ly affect adjacent farmlands.
"There's a pig farm next
door, and a lot of people
complained after moving in
about the smell," she said.
"I'm against the amend-
ment because 20-acre
ranchettes are already agri-
cultural land. The whole

land should stay the way it
is."
Richard Grosso, 'a land-
use lawyer with the Ever-
glades Law Center, warned
commissioners that they
wouldn't get the types of
projects they were hoping
for with the Valliere Amend-
ment and might end up
raising property values in
the area.
"The first point is that you
don't need this," he said. "If
you think we have a prob-
lem with buying CERP lands
now, what will that do when
we increase the value of all
of that land? The negatives
would far outweigh the con-
sequences."
Chip Barney, 32, and his
family have been running a
4,000-acre tree farm and
ranch in the area for several
years. He supports the
amendment. He thinks that
urban sprawl has already
come to the region.
"I'm against the 20-acre
ranchettes," he said. "It's
just another form of sprawl,
only the lot sizes are differ-
ent."
Area developer Don Cuoz-
zo, who said he was respon-
sible for a number of the 20-
. acre projects in Martin
County, said that most
landowners would prefer
the changes offered by the
amendment.
"This amendment offers
those opportunities," he
said. "There is more green
space, more open space,
more preservation with this
amendment, than there is
under the current stan-
dards."
Representatives for both
the Palm City Chamber of
Commerce and the Treasure
Coast Builder's Association
spoke out in favor of the Val-
liere Amendment, while
Palm City resident Donna
Melzer warned Commis-
sioners they would be
breaching the density and
urban growth boundary
With this proposal.
A local water resources
expert, Brian McMahon, the
vice-president of Engineer-
ing & Water Resources, said
he was well aware of the
county's development pat-
terns, and how natural sys-
tems function. He's opposed
to the amendment.
"The types of projects that
you've approved over the
last several years in the West
Martin County area are not
conducive to the appropri-
ate use of those wetland sys-
tems and they do not pro-
vide the connectivity of
those systems," he said.
"The roads are constructed
in uplands and go right in-
between these individual
cells of wetlands and com-
pletely bifurcate the wildlife
and hydrologic benefit of
those systems."
All in all, some 70 interest-
ed parties spoke during the
six-hour hearing, during
which Commissioner
Weberman stated that the
Valliere Amendment could
be summed up in two
words: "Not necessary."
Even with the commis-
sioners' vote, the approval
process for the Valliere
Amendment is far from
over. Another public hear-
ing is scheduled for Sept. 18,
when commissioners will
vote to transmit it for review
to the Department of Com-
munity Affairs. That will be
followed up by another pub-
lic hearing on Dec. 11.

Editor's note: This column
originally ran on Nov. 10,
2006.
Dear fellow Florida car
dealer: I started in
the retail auto
business in 1968, about 38
years ago, and I have seen a
lot of changes in the way we
dealers sell cars and the
expectations of our cus-
tomers. My remarks in this
column are made sincerely
and with a positive intent
toward you and your
customers. I am not trying
to tell you how to run your
business; I am suggesting a
change that will reward
both you and your cus-
tomers.
Virtually every car dealer
in Florida adds a charge
to the price of the cars he
sells, variously referred to
as a "dealer fee," "documen-
tary fee and "dealer prep
fee."
This extra charge is
printed on your buyer's
orders and is programmed
into your computers. It has
been made illegal in many
states including California.
You charge this fee to every
customer and it ranges
from a few hundred. dollars
to nearly $1,000.
Florida law requires that
if you charge a dealer fee to
any customer, you must
charge all customers. It also
requires that you disclose,
in writing, on the buyer's'
order, that this charge
represents profit to the
dealer. Florida law also
requires that you include
this fee in all advertised
prices. You don't always do
this and you get around the
law by limiting the number
of advertised vehicles (as
few as one).
The argument that I hear
from most car dealers when
I raise this issue is that the
dealer fee is fully disclosed
to the buyer on his buyer's
order. But most car buyers
are totally unaware that
they are paying this. Who -
reads all of the volLnhminous
paperwork associated with
buying a car? The few who
notice it assume it is an
"official" fee such as state
sales tax or license and
registration fee. Those few


,V


EARL STEWART
On Cars


astute buyers who do
question the fee are told
that your dealership must
charge this fee on every car,
which would not be true if
you were to make the
decision to not charge the
dealer fee to anyone. These
astute buyers are also told
that all other car dealers
charge similar fees. This is
almost true, but, as you
know, my dealership does
not.
The reason you charge
this fee is simply to increase
- the cost of the.car and your
profit in such a manner that
is not noticed by your
customer. This is just plain
wrong. Dealers will admit
this to me in private
conversations and some
will admit that they have
considered eliminating the
fee as I have, but are afraid
of the drastic effect to their
bottom line.
By being able to count on
an extra $895 in profit that
the customer is not aware
of or believes is an "official
fee," you can actually quote
a price below cost and end
up making a profit.
Or, if the price you quote
the customer does pay you
a nice profit, you can
increase that by several
hundred dollars.
This "extra unseen" profit
is even better for you,
because you don'tpay your
salesmen a commission on
it. That's being unfair to
your employees as well as
your customers. When the
rare, astute buyer objects to
the dealerfee, the law

Call the Hometown Rants & Raves line at

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


Put your body where your mouth is

Calling all proud, non-veteran Republican supporters of
President Bush and his war, please, please, how about
really showing support for our troops and-enlisting'if you
are 18 to 40 years of age.
If you are older, please encourage your children and
grandchildren to join the armed forces.
You support sending our troops back for second, third,
and even fourth tours of duty,,
How about putting your lhld\ iu here your mouth is and
going over to Iraq and giving ih I: brave, fatigued people,
a break?
What kind of mental, physical, and financial shape do
you expect them and their families to be in when they
finally come back?
Remember, you haven't sent them over there just to risk
their lives.
You're sending them over there to kill people, sometimes
never knowing if the people they kill in split-second deci-
sionseare a true threat or not, and sometimes being unable
to avoid the deaths of innocent bystanders caught in the
cross-fire.
If you support war, go there.

Pass laws, stop abuse

On the heels of recent stories of widespread -pit bull
abuse, it seems appropriate that new federal laws must be
enacted to pass severe penalties for animal torturers and
abusers.
The punishment should not be just a slap on the wrist as
in most cases now, calling for little or no prison time.
However a troubling deterrent to enacting protective
laws for animals is keeping lawmakers ineffective. They
always ignore the best interests of the public in order to
protect profits for criminals, form pornography, promo-
tion of violence, gambling and dog fighting, to name a few.
The abuse of many of society's weak continues on
unchecked, without good laws that could provide protec-
tion to huge numbers of poor people, babies, children,
.elders, b lacks, women, and animals.
On radio and TV most crimes against these unfortunates
are downplayed, per instruction from the top.
And so, weak humans and particularly animals are
shafted in the media through propaganda against their
protection, portrayed a jokes, and deserving of laughter.
If you are one of those in the weak group it's time to
make your existence knowri,
Whenever you hear crude and arrogant comments,
most likely against easy animal victims, be sure to pick up
your phone and call the advertising sponsor to tell them
you don't like their foul talk against a weak person or
against animals.
Tell them you will boycott their products.

Trouble with cable

Recently there was a most appropriate rant article in the
Hometown News about the stealing of program rime on
TV.
It really spoke to my heart.
Just think about it. We ae all paying a lot of our hard
earned Social Security checks every month just to be
force-fed commercials we are already compelled to view
in countless magazines and papers.
Do we really need to see them again, and again as they
suck the life out of our favorite programs?
Will it ever stop?
To me, this is a flagrant, shameless robbery of our spare
time and freedom of thought.
It seems nobody dares to say anything about it.
How is it possible that.this is not regulated legally? How
about the Federal Communications Commission, and
other governmental agencies?
I don't see any sign that tly even care or maybe they are
afraid to act. 1 ,
Why won't the help us?
They must be aware of the pernicious, bottom-line-is-
all activity that spoils all our entertainment, for which we
pay so dearly, and for which the TV companies get paid


Another dangerous item made in China

Six months ago we decided to utilize our great room with a toy,
a pool table.
We found a deal atWal-Mart for $300 it was very nice, and the
price was more then right.
We then found out it was made in China.
I noticed a very strong, smell, but I figured that maybe it was
because it was new and the smell would take a few weeks to go
away.
Two weeks went by, the- sme[l still l as \ er sm rng.

again by the advertisers.
We, the public, are so tired of being used this way.
Where is Ralph Nader now that we need him?

Perfect world doesn't exist,
so war is necessary

This is in response to the lady who shared with us part of
an old song, "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier."
I was in the service and proud of it. Who do you think
protects her right to write to Rants & Raves?
That song was supposedly written in 1915. Were we sup-
posed to turn (our backs) on World War I? Go our (own)
way!
People needed us. We responded for our interest as well
as theirs.
Then there was that pesky Hitler guy. Golly, maybe we
should have sat back and just watched it all unfold.
How would you have survived? You sound like a "Quis-
ling."
How sad that you have sullied the memories of our vet-
erans, myself and others, who protect us.
God bless them and their families.
You want a perfect world (with) no war? So do I, but the
world is not perfect.

Feeding children at school necessary

I'm calling about the ranter opposed to free lunches at
school.
My husband was one of the kids whose parents weren't
r e s p o n s i b l e ': . . .
Sometimes schools are the only places that children can
get nutritional meals to eat every day.
Our taxpayers pay the money (for the program). We're
taxpayers, and I don't see a problem at all with the educa-
tional system helping feed children.

Free lunches a blessing for some families
This is in response to the ranter who is opposed to free
lunches at school.. .
There are some parents out there like (me and) my
husband (who) are really hard working taxpayers. We are
struggling to get by, barely even get by paying our bills or
anything.
We can't get insurance for our kids because (no one) we
work for has insurance. So we got Medicaid for our kids, so
they can get medical (care) if need be.
We are always told to go for food stamps, but we.can't get
them. So the schools having free lunch is a blessing to us. It
does help some people who really do need it.

Governor's greenhouse orders
could prove costly

On July 13, Gov. Crist issued three executive orders (07-
126, 07-127 and 07-128) all relating to reducing green-


My husband stared feeling sick, having severe headaches, and
bad pains in his stomach.
It reached a point that he couldn't take it any more so we went
to see the doctor.
He said we had to get rid of the table as soon as possible,
because it was made out of pressed board that contains'
formaldehyde, which is very toxic. ,
I called the company regarding this issue, but did not have a
straight answer.
I asked if they had any other complaints.
All they said was that it came from China and was processed
with formaldehyde, but did not know what else could be in the


house gas emissions within Florida.
Executive orders are issued by the governor without any
direct involvement by the legislature. Many are mundane
in that they do not directly affect the lives of its citizens.
I The executive orders defined above have the potential to
effect the future of Florida's citizens in both positive and
negative way.
The Florida Administrative Weekly for July 27 shows that
the Department of Environmental Protection is develop-
ing three new rules, which appear to have been a direct
outcome of Gov. Crist's executive orders.
Rule No. 62-285-300 proposes to place a cap on green-
house gases produced by the electric utilities.
Rule No. 62-285-400 proposes to adopt the California
Motor Vehicle Emission Standards for new vehicles sold in
(this) state.
Rule No. 62-285-420 proposes to adopt rules limiting the
idling of heavy duty-long-duration diesel engines.
There are serious costs associated with at least two out
of three of these proposed rules.
Placing a cap on emissions from electric power plants
will require the purchase of new equipment and the addi-
tional costs will sure to be passed down to the consumer.
Implementation of the California emission standards
could result in special blends of gasoline being required
(with an associated increase in costs) and yearly monitor-
ing of the emissions of all cars made after a defined date.
Many of us living here for many years or coming into
Florida from other states will remember the problems
involved with getting one's cars passed through a vehicle
inspection station.
I am not against reducing greenhouse gases but I believe
'the Legislature and specifically the citizens of Florida
should be given the opportunity to have an open discus-
sion on these items and not have them thrust down our
throats by the current governor

Homosexuals are as moral,
normal as heterosexuals

Keeping it simple, some people are born left-handed,
some right-handed, some ambidextrous.
This cannot be changed.
Some people are born heterosexual, some homosexual
and some bisexual.
This cannot be changed.
Regarding the morality of it all, those who believe in God
need to remember that God made all of us, as we are, and
as such, we are all moral and normal.

crate that it came in.
I then contactedWal-Mart.
They said they would send two employees over to take it apart
and take the pool table back, which they did, and then our trou-
bles would be over.
I now wonder about the danger of other furniture thatismade
with pressed board from China; which is also pirocessed with the
formaldehyde.

donations from corporations.
In return, they close their plants and move to China,
Mexico and Pakistan.
Then they bring their products back at a cheaper price
and make more money.
I am not saying that all of our leaders or corporations are
crooks, but most of them are.
Politicians need to take a lie detector test every six
months so we would know if we were being sold out.
Forget car ads, get rid of the sex, alcohol ads
This is to the person who wrote, "Just get rid of all the car
commercials."
With exception to the car manufacturers touting how
fast and powerful their machines are on the streets, I find
them less offensive than the other commercials. Car com-
mercials are the least of our worries, folks.
Thanks to the power of the almighty dollar, the moral
values of our nation have sunk to an all-time low. Every 10
minutes or so, we (our children included) are bombarded
with such products as Trojan condoms, Levitra, Cyalis,
Encyte, etc., and like-products for women which only
serve to promote sexual arousal and promiscuity.
I am no prude, but human sexuality problems and cures
should not be on public display. Such advertisements
should be in doctor's offices.
Let us look at some other commercials that need to be
gotten rid of. Lingerie ads (Victoria's Secret, etc.) parade
beautiful, scantily clad young women, which to a sex pred-
ator is like waving a red flag at a bull. Diet food programs
do the same thing, claiming a way to look sexy.
Finally, yet importantly, beer and hard liquor commer-
cials are all geared to partying with beautiful women and
handsome men. No one gives a thought about the number
of highway fatalities by DUIs or the families wrecked
(financially, mentally and physically) by alcoholism. If cig-
arettes were bad to be banned from public advertising,
why shouldn't alcohol?
So much more could be said about the commercials
flooding our television programming and in the faces of
our children. The line between responsible moral attitudes
and unacceptable, immoral behavior has been intention-
ally blurred, and our children are falling into the trap of
illicit sex, alcohol, drugs and crime.
The blame lies with the TV networks, the advertisers and
everyone who buys into these products. It is time for the
TV networks to clean up their act (their shows and adver-
tising). To the advertisers, I say, "Shame on you."
Shame on all of us who don't hold these companies
responsible for the lousy influence they are peddling.

Everyone must work to stop identity theft

I (am a recent victim of) identity theft.
I was notified by a credit card company. They recom-
mended I contact credit bureau agencies and have a con-
sumer statement added to my credit file.
I have never in all my many years have had anything bad
like this happen.
We must stop this abuse as soon as possible for you, me
and everyone.

Why worry about end of 'no fault' insurance?
I do not understand all the flack about the end of
mandatory "no fault" insurance.
Writers keep bemoaning the fact that after the legal
requirement expires, people will have no insurance.
Why not?
It will still be available to be purchased voluntarily -


and, so the insurers say- at-less cost.
Computer solution is in the alphabet soup
After the disaster of Vista, some people are saying
maybe I should go to a Mac.
For those who don't know, the Mac's current oper-
ating system, OS X, is literally UNIX. It's been recent-
ly certified, and is completely based on FreeBSD, and
just has a Mac GUI.
Linux is UNIX, too. And you can choose which GUI,
and eye candy, you like best.
All versions of Unix run X-Windows, so they've all
got the graphical GUIs you're used to.
(By the way), with X, there's a "window server" -
that's X itself and a "window manager" that pro-
vides the general look and feel. There's even one win-
dow manager named fvwm2. They try to deny it
stands for "feeble virtual window manager" (yes,
really), and it looks lUke Win95.
Editor's note: Actually Windows 95 was an attempt
to look more like a Mac operating system environ-
ment, not the other way around.

Fightfor oil not worth blood
of America's youth
President Bush said that he made the right choice going
into Iraq.
Then I remembered that as soon as troops landed, the
price of oil sky-rocked.
,Most of us assumed this was because of the war. Instead,
with time, we learned that this was because oil companies
were price gouging and price-fixing, both illegal anti-trust
activities, (resulting in) $40 billion dollars in profit for
a single year for Mobile, Exxon, and Chevron, then
again, and again in following years.
It was the president's job to stop this illegal activity.
So why was the war the right choice?
Of course, I thought, Bush is an oil boy and personal
profits of his stock portfolio have sky-rocked. Increase in
his personal wealth must be worth the sacrifice of young
limbs and lives.
This is an oil war.
Oil is destroying our country. There are alternatives.
The electric car could significantly reduce this country's
dependence on oil. While they wouldn't be right for
everyone, it would be an excellent second car for some
(and) the only car for me.
Technology has improved them significantly, yet Amer-
ican car companies and oil companies together refuse to
put them on the road.
Each house should have at least one tall pole with an
electricity-generating wind turbine on it. It may not do
the whole job, but if mass produced, it could be reason-
ably priced and have a significant impact.
In some areas, the electric companies have managed to
make producing one's own electricity illegal.
Self-sufficiency should be encouraged. Swimming
pools should only be allowed to be heated with solar
power.
Coast to coast, 18-wheelers could be reduced in great
numbers by loading the trailers on flat beds (trains) then
tractors could pick them up and do local runs. The fuel
saved would be phenomenal.
Not the right answer: Asking oil companies to produce
ethanol.
This was President Bush's idea. Let the oil companies
rip off the American people here, too, just as long as oil
company profits continue to grow.
No, thanks.
Best of all, some of the brightest and best of our
young people who are now being deployed to Iraq
could do what God intended them to be doing, improving
technology here at home.


We did what we could in Iraq. Further deployment is a
waste of young lives. It is not worth the blood shed for fat
oil portfolios.
Stern is an entertainer, not sex-educator
In response to the person who wrote "Don't let Howard
Stern teach children about sex," I (ask) are you still a virgin
or a moron?
Does this person pay (for) a cable or satellite radio sub-
scription?
Howard Stern has entertained millions of listeners over
the years and is not out to (teach) kids about sex.
To this (person) and those like him I say, "Shame on all of
you."
Have you ever heard of parental controls, V-chips?
U.S. must show resolve in Iraq
or war won t end
A recent rant about how the Iraq war, l4e the drug war,
could go on forever stated that "it is time to stop pandering
to the leaders in Iraq. Tell them if they want freedom, they
must fight and make sacrifices for it as we did."
I hear this sentiment from so many, but I have yet to hear
why they won't "stand up."
I think that reason is pretty obvious if you'll stop and
think for a moment.
After the first war in Iraq, we encouraged people to fight
against Saddam, but did not follow through with promised
support and tens of thousands were slaughtered.
Now we have deposed Saddam, but there are insurgents
(ie: terrorists) from Iran, Syria and even Saudi Arabia fight-
ing not only U.S. soldiers, but murdering our supporters
and their families as well.
Recent stories from out soldiers, (which) are ignored by
most of the media, tell of 'qi citizens joining the fighting
and informing on the terr ..ts because they see our forces
not just chasing them out, .ut pursuing them and prevent-
ing their return. :'
As long as there is doubt (about) whether we will stay the
course, then I can't blame anyone for not standing up to
the terrorists they will have to deal with when we desert
Iraq.
If I were an Iraqi and listened to the rhetoric coming
from the Democrats and "Repfiblicans in Name Only" in
congress, and commentary from the U.S. media, I'd be
hanged if I'd lift a finger to show any support for the cause
of freedom because when I don't have the U.S. to back me,
I'll lose my head to the terrorists.
If I were a terrorist hearing-the media and Congress, I'd
say let's give them some more bodies so they'll leave soon-
er.
As for the accusation of bad intelligence being our mis-
take, if you will do a little honest searching, France, Ger-
many, Russia and British intelligence mirrored ours.
The report issued just before the 2004 presidential elec-
tion saying there were no weapons of mass destruction in
Iraq also made two other very important points.
First, that while Bush dithered with Democrats and the
U.N., large and suspicious convoys of trucks were pouring
into Syria. Carrying what? During the first Gulf War, Sad-
dam sent his military aircraft out of country to keep it safe.
Second, the report stated that because of the threat from
Iran, Saddam had to fool the world into believing he had
WMDs in order to keep Iran at bay.
So if our intelligence people were fools, then so were the
rest of the worlds,' or maybe Saddam would have made the
best poker player in the world.
Continue to show any hint that we lack resolve, and this
war will last forever.
Give Iraqi government more time
We should give the Iraqi Democratic government a
chance to better organize.
It's been about two years.

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


Angela Leone

This sign was put up by Robert Martin, owner of Flamingo
Bob's Flooring, in a dispute over five weeks of advertising
with the Hometown News. The paper maintains he agreed
to run the ads and has worked to reach an acceptable res-
olution, thus far to no avail.


Flamingo Bob's


in squabble with


paper over ad


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
After disputing an adver-
tising bill with Hometown
News, the owner of a Stuart
flooring company decided
to air his complaint pub-
licly on a sign outside his
business.
The dispute centers on
billing for advertising that
he received in the weekly
newspaper.
Robert Martin, the owner
of Flamingo Bob's Flooring,
Inc., says Hometown News
is billing him for advertis-
ing he never wanted or
approved. Referring to it as
"an accounting issue that
was never addressed," he
says a collections agency
has been calling him,
repeatedly to make restitu-
tion.
"I verbally made a deal
for 13 weeks, and then
they told me it Was an
automatic 52-week renew-
al," he said. "They ran it for
a few more weeks after-
ward, but I never wanted it
to."
When he couldn't get the
extra debt forgiven, Mr.
Martin then decided to put
up this message on his sign
outside: "Boycott Home-
town News ads: Aski me
why."
Mr. Martin says he's spo-
ken with the Hometown
News advertising consult-
ant and, has no problem
with him. It's the extra five-
week advertising debt he's
disputing.
'1I owe for a lot of adver-
tising." he said. "I pay peo-
ple [or what I ran, but I
don't pay people for what I
didn't agree to."


Hometown News pub-
lisher Steve Erlanger says
Flamingo Bob's was treated
like every other customer
that advertises in the
Hometown News.
"The truth be told, he
signed a 52-week agree-
ment," Mr. Erlanger said.
"We give them the option
to say to stop it. His sales
consultant was there every
week, and (Mr. Martin) was
saying, 'run this ad, run
this ad.' He never said 'stop
me at 13 weeks.'"
After someone told Mr.
Erlanger about the sign, he
sent Mr. Martin's sales con-
sultant back to try and
negotiate a solution to the
stalemate. The business
owner .then agreed to put
up a positive sign about the
paper if the Hometown
News agreed to forgive the
debt, but so far neither
party has come to an
agreement on how long the
new message should stay
up.
Mr. Erlanger said, "Mr.
Martin, like a lot of busi-
ness owners today, is hav-
ing a rough go of it. He lost
his Port St. Lucie store and
is having problems. He is
tight on cash.
"We would gladly work
out a payment plan for
him, but to now dispute a
legitimate balance due is
not acceptable. His con-
sultant is one of the area's
most respected residents. I
trust completely that he did,
his job professionally and
honestly, we did not get to
be the No.. I community
newspaper in America by
cheating people. I don't
know if Mr. Martin can
make that same claim."

Planting a little honesty can reap wonderful rewards


This story was sent to
me recently and
contains such an
enormous lesson of truth
that I felt a strong urge to
share it with you and hope it
touches you the way it
touched me.
A successful spiritual
business man was growing
old and knew it was time to
choose a successor to take
over the business.


Instead of choosing one of
the directors or his children,
he decided to do something
different. He called all the
young executives inhis
company together.
"It's time for me to step
down and choose the next
CEO," he said. "I have
decided to choose one of
you."
The young executives were
shocked, but the boss


continued.
"I am going to give each
one of you a seed one very
special seed. I want you to
plant the seed, water it and
come back here one year
from today with what you
have grown from it. I will
then judge the plants that
you bring. I will then choose
one of you to be the next
CEO."
One man named Jim took


his seed home and excitedly
told his wife the story. She
helped him get a pot, soil
and compost, and,plant the
seed. Every day he would
water it and watch to see if it
had grown.
After about three weeks,
some of the other executives
began to talk about their
seeds and the plants that
were beginning to grow. Jim
kept checking his seed, but
nothing ever grew. Three,
four, five weeks went by but
nothing grew and he felt like
a failure.
Six months went by still
nothing in Jim's pot.
He just knew that he had
killed the seed. Everyone
else had trees and tall
plants, but he had nothing.
Jim didn't say anything to
his colleagues, however. He
just kept watering and,
fertilizing the soil. He so
wanted the seed to grow.
A year finally went by and
all the young executives of
the company brought their
plants to the CEO for
inspection.
Jim told his wife that he
wasn't going to take an
empty pot. But she asked
him to be honest about
what happened. Jim felt
sick. It was going to be the
most embarrassing
moment of his life, but he
knew his wife was right.
He took his empty pot to
the boardroom. When he
arrived, he was amazed at

the variety of plants grown
by the other executives.
They were beautiful and in
all shapes and sizes.
Jim put his empty pot on
the floor and many of his
colleagues laughed. A few
felt sorry for him.
When the CEO arrived, he
surveyed the room and
greeted his young execu-
tives.
Jim just tried to hide in
the back.
"My what great plants,
trees and flowers you have
grown," said the CEO.
"Today, one of you will be
appointed to replace me
and become the next CEO."
All of a sudden the CEO
spotted Jim at the back of
the room with his empty
pot. He ordered the finan-
cial director to bring him to
the front. Jim was terrified.
He thought, ."The CEO
knows I am a failure.
Maybe he will have me
fired." When Jim got to the
front, the CEO asked him
what had happened to his
seed. Jim told him the
story.
The CEO asked everyone
to sit down except Jim. He
looked at Jim and then
announced to the young
executives.
"Behold your next chief
executive."
Jim couldn't believe it. He
couldn't even grow his
seed.
How could he be the new
CEO, the others asked?
"One year ago today, I
gave each of you a seed. I
told you to plant the seed,
water it and bring it back to
me today. But I gave you all
boiled seeds. They were
dead. It was not possible
for them to grow. All of you
except Jim have brought
me trees, plants and
flowers. When you found
the seed would not grow,
you substituted another
seed for the one I gave you.
Jim was the only one with
the courage and honesty to
bring me a pot with my
seed in it. Therefore he is
the one most qualified to
be the new chief execu-

Idol


From page Al
learn Gloria Estefan's
"Rhythm is Gonna Get You."
"I know what to expect
this time," Mr. Granese said.
That morning, he awoke
at 2:30 and set off for Miami
before sunrise. To register
for an audition, "Idol" hope-
fuls must line up two days
early for the wristband and a
seat ticket.
His friend John Craton, 27,
joined him. A firefighter and
paramedic with the St. Lucie
County Fire District, Mr.
Craton is readying "Home"
for the producers, hoping
the hit for "Idol" also-ran
Chris Daughtry will mean
success in Miami.
But tonight, he plans to
test out other bands, some
Emerson Drive and a little 3
Doors Down.
While Mr. Granese
charged through the final


verse, Mr. Craton took a pull
from his Bud Light.
"It would be a great
opportunity," Mr. Craton
said of the impending audi-
tion.
He was up next.
An hour later, after Mr.
Craton ceded the mike to a
dozen other patrons, it was
time for the showstopper:
Three-and-a-half minutes
of Mr. Granese singing "Des-
perado."
Less than 24 hours later,
the crowd began lining up at
the AmericanAirlines Arena.
In the predawn darkness of
Aug. 22, a rain shower
dampened the crowd. Cau-
tion: The wristband is not
waterproof.
Just before 5 a.m., Mr. Cra-
ton and Mr. Granese hustled
into line, a full four hours
before they entered the


packed arena. They sat up
high, in the 22nd row.
Ryan Seacrest, the show's
whippersnapper host, intro-
duced the crowd to the cam-
eras.
The contestants sang
"Rhythm is Gonna Get You"
for the cameras. Once.
Twice. Five times.
Then, in groups of four,
contestants were called to
the arena floor to sing for a
duo of producers. The lucky
ones left with a yellow slip of
paper. The unlucky ones
had their Wristbands cut off
by the production crew.
Contestants who were
waved through on the first
round will be called back in
a few months, to sing for
executive producers. Make
it through that round, and
then the contestants have
the opportunity to face the


Elite
From page A8


Each year, all Elite Elec-
tric- technicians undergo
more tian 100 hours of in-
house training arid must
complete at least one con-
tinuing education class.
"We are truly 100 per-
cent customer oriented,"
said Mr. Pankraz.
"We are not your typical
electrician. We show up on
time, answer our phones
24 hours a day, seven days
a .week and we charge fair
prices," he said.
Elite Electric techni-
cians will quote customers
a price up-front before any
work is done, as they
charge by the job rather
than charging by the hour.
The technicians arrive at
the residence in a fully
stocked, van that Mr.
Pankraz calls a "ware-
house on wheels."
"When we leave, the job
is totally done, whether it
takes 30 minutes or 30
days," he said..

room, outdoor lighting,

on their shoes to keep our
floor clean," said Mr.
Heneks. "They did a phe-
nomenal clean-up job."
After any job is com-
pleted, Elite Electric wants
to make sure customers
are completely satisfied.
SMr. Heneks said Mr.
Pankraz came to his home
to inspect the job done
and was concerned that
the switch installed for the
generator, which was pur-
chased by Mr. Heneks
from another company,
may have a safety issue
that could result in a fire.
Although the switch
-passed a city inspection,


"'When we leave, the job is totally done,
whether it takes 30 minutes or 30 days.

John Pankraz
President, Elite Electric


Mr. Pankraz still wanted
the switch removed. The
job took six hours to com-
plete.
"He didn't charge me
another penny," said Mr.
Heneks. "John Pankraz was
there the whole time to
make sure I was satisfied. I
believe he was truly con-
cerned with the safety of
my home," he said.,
When the work is com-
pleted, the technicians
leave comment cards at
the customer's home. Each
month, one lucky card is
chosen at random and
that customer receives a
$50 check from Elite Elec-
tric.
In addition, Elite Elec-
tric staff calls each cus-
tomer within 24 hours of
the job's completion, to
ensure customer satisfac-
tion. The responses to
these calls are so positive,
the staff refers to them as
"Happy Calls."
Elite Electric also offers
a "Service Partner Plan."
For $6.95 per month, those
purchasing the plan


receive customer priority,
complete home inspec-
tion, 15 percent off Elite
Electric services and no
overtime charges on rou-
tine or emergency calls.
The plan is transferable if
the customer moves to
another residence on the
Treasure Coast.
A community-minded
company, Elite Electric is
an active member of the
St. Lucie County Chamber
of Commerce and has pro-
vided donations and spon-
sorship for many local
organizations, including
Boys & Girls Club, Habitat
for Humanity, Port St.
Lucie's monthly Coffee
with the Mayor, Commu-
nity Build projects and
drug education programs
in local schools.

tomers throughout the

Hello, smart shoppers.
Hope you can relax
now that the kids are
back in school.
It's Labor Day already.
Where does the time go?
Did you teach your kids how
to swim?
Here in Florida it is extreme-
ly important. However when I
was 11,1 still didn't knowhow
to swim.
My dad's brother, Vinnie,
and his wife, my German
Aunt Margie, were my favorite
relatives. They lived in
Lindenhurst, N.Y. Thir home
had a canal in back that led to
the beautiful, pristine waters
of the Great South Bay.
How sad to hear now it's
polluted, but back then it was
a wonderful place to swim.
Aunt Margie was a lifeguard
in her younger days and
insisted it was time for me to
learn to swim.
She put a life preserver
around my chubby body
(years ago, before life jackets a
doughnut-shaped tube filled
with air was used).
She helped me into the
canal. Close to the bulkhead
the water was shallow.
"This is easy," I thought.
"Nowwalk out into the
middle, kick your legs ahd
swim!"
When the bottom dropped
out and I could no longer feel
the sand I panicked.
Have you ever heard of
anyone flipping themselves
over?
The preserver held me up all
right, FEET up!
Aunt Margie dove in, clothes
and all, and pulled me
upright.
She was livid.
"How could anyone do what
you just did?"
There was no sympathy for
me, just a disappointed
shaking of heads.

The next day I was forced
to do it again.
"This time, make sure it's
heads up!"
I learned. Did I have a
choice?
I never heard the end of
the fact that I ruined her
new wedge sandals.
Now let's get to some
great recipes for Labor
Day.
For as far back as I can
remember, Mom always
made Chicken with
Vinegar for a party (along
with a zillion other things
of course).
The one thing I disliked
about it was the skin on the
chicken was soft.
Now of course we skin
the chicken and this recipe
is delicious. It can be made
days in advance and
served at room tempera-
ture.
Enjoy. See you next week.
Money-saving tips: Store
brand fat-free mayonnaise in
a salad will not change the
taste and costs much less
than the name brands.
Special hint: New studies
show that it's not how late you
eat, but what you eat. If you
eat a nutritious, low-fat, low-
calorie food, it will not affect
your weight.

Plan ahead to enjoy a weekend at Disney


A great way to get
away when you live
. Von the East Coast of
Florida is to drive to Lake
Buena Vista and the Walt
Disney World area and
make a weekend out of it.
We tend to forget that we
live just over an hour from
one of the most visited
places on this planet.
Shopping, world-class
restaurants, and nightlife
are right at your fingertips.
Yet, you may want to
bring some patience.
When traveling State
Road 528 westbound, you
will quickly realize that life
is a little different in
Orange and Osceola
counties.
Also, one of the best
ways to have a trouble-
free weekend is to plan
ahead.
When looking for hotels,
make sure you speak to a
travel consultant who
knows the Lake Buena
Vista/Disney area,
because there are several
types of accommodations
to choose from.
For a really spectacular,
high-end experience, try
Disney's Grand Floridian.
The Grand Floridian
offers everything under
the Florida sun. You can
have 24-hour room
service, their event staff
can put together a last
minute romantic dinner
with views of Cinderella's
castle. You can even rent
out their private yacht, the
"Grand One," and cruise
the Seven Seas Lagoon
with your own private
captain and deckhand
If you would like one of
the top dining experiences
in the area, try Victoria
and Albert's in the resort.
This is prix fix restaurant
that offers each table a
-"Victoria and Albert," your
private servers for your
dining experience, and the
cuisine is five star. They
also offer a chef's table
that allows you to watch as
a world-class kitchen staff
prepares your meal.
Other dining in the hotel
includes Narcoosees, a
seafood establishment,
and Citricos, a Mediter-
ranean casual dining
restaurant.
For the young ones, the
Grand Floridian has "Tea
with a Princess." Sleeping
Beauty joins you and your
family for tea and refresh-
ments and all receive a My
Disney Girl.
The 1900 Park Fare in the
hotel has character dining
with Mary Poppins and
Winnie the Pooh. Also,
Cinderella and thue Prince
show up during evening
hours for photos.
The resort has a spa that
takes all the park and
traffic woes away. There
are two pools with one
open 24-hours a day, and
poolside full dining from
its wonderful private
dining department.
Besides private yachts,
you can also rent pon-
toons and two-person
speedboats.
The resort is attached to
Disney's monorail system.
Also, water transportation
is as easy as walking
through the resort and
hopping on a boat. Before
you know it, you're at the
front of the Magic King-
dom.
The Grand Floridian is
Disney's flagship resort,

"Disney can be overwhelming in a weekend
unless you make your hotel and dining reser-
vations, and purchase your tickets in advance."


MARCY CSUHRAN
Travel columnist
and is worth every penny.
The next couple of
months are a great time to
go.
Disney has several
special events'coming up,
such as the International
Food and Wine Festival
from Sept. 28 to Nov. 11.
This event takes place all
over property, but mostly
in the Epcot Resort.
During the fall, "Mickey's
Not So Scary Halloween"
party for the little ones is a
great way to experience
the Magic Kingdom in the
evening with less crowds.


The park is open only for
guests with a separate
ticket. Costumes are
encouraged.
As we get closer to the
December holidays, there
is no better time to see
Disney and the Grand
Floridian. Both have been
featured on the Discovery
Channel and both offer
some great specialty
dining, shopping and
decorations. The Grand
Floridian features a life-
size gingerbread house.
Other parks, such as
Epcot, have holiday events
nightly. MGM has
Osbourne Family Lights,
and all have fantastic
fireworks displays and
phenomenal decorations.
The reservations for the
holidays go fast, so call
ahead as soon as possible.
Also, the 2008 reserva-
tions have just opened.

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

Cole-Clark Hobe Sound


branch goes high-tech


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Demolition began at the
Cole-Clark branch of the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Mar-
tin County, where a $1 mil-
lion renovation project will
give the facility a clean,
new look.
Over the next few
months, interior walls will
be torn down and replaced
with new flooring, a new
paint job and new furni-


ture. A state-of-the-art
computer laboratory,
expanded library, new teen
room and arts room are
also in the plans.
"Kids are hard on things,"
said Mat Churchey, the
director of operations for
the clubs. "We try to instill
in kids that this is their club
- giving them a sense of
pride and ownership. So
we're hoping 'to have a
fresh, clean facility that will
appeal to them," he said.


With a donation from
B/E Aerospace, a commit-
tee has been working for
nearly two years to create a
renovation plan for the
inside of the 9,666-square-
foot building, which served
as a doctor's office before
the kids and staff took over
, in 1994.
Approximately 450 boys
and girls participate in
after-school programs,
spring break and summer
camps there.


Taxes
From page Al


County to roll its tax rate
back by 7 percent,, in addi-
tion to reverting to the 2006-
2007 revenue levels. The city
of Stuart was obligated to
cut its rate by 9 percent.
"The average property
owner in Martin County can
expect to see a reduction
ranging from $75 to $350,"
Mrs. Kelly said. "It just varies.
from property to property,
depending on whether that
property increased or
decreased in value."
Mrs. Kelly has been hold-
ing a series of, workshops
recently .to help Martin
County residents get up to
speed on the tax reform
measures as well as the pos-
sible effects of the proposed
"Super Exemption" to be put
before the voters in a special
January 2008 referendum.
Property owners who cur-
rently have homestead
exemption do not pay taxes
on the first $25,000 of


assessed value. That amount
would increase under the
new super exemption to 75
percent of the first $200,000
and 15 percent of the next
$300,000.. Property owners
who elect to switch to it
would permanently lose the
right to the Save Our Homes
3 percent annual cap, mean-
ing, that their property taxes
could feasibly rise much
more.
More workshops will be
offered after September, and
Mrs. Kelly said property
owners confused about their
tax bills should visit her
office.
"I have an open-door poli-
cy, and we encourage people
to come in and learn about
the rules that we follow," she
said. "We're accountable,
and we want to show how we
appraise their properties."
Mrs. Kelly also suggested
that Martin County residents
visit the property appraiser's


Web site at
www.pa.martin.fl.us, where
they'll find helpful informa-
tion and even a link to a cal-
culator for comparing the tax
difference between staying
with the Save Our Homes
cap or switching to the pro-
posed super exemption.
In the meantime, Martin
County taxpayers have an
ally in Lee County. Mr.
Wilkinson says he's collect-
ing signatures to put another
constitutional amendment
on the ballot next January.
This time, he wants to ensure
that property owners can
take at least 50 percent of the
savings on their current
. homesteaded property to a
new house anywhere in the
state.
"They're not going to slow
me down, we're increasing
our effort," he said. "We
need 611,000 signatures by
Jan. 29 and we need the
polls manned."

ence) helped me to realize
* that I was more interested in
the field of compliance."
Although now in her final
year at Vanderbilt, she's
making new plans for next
year and hopes to return to
Washington to study law.
"After talking with a lot of
senior leadership and
management, they said
you need to go to law
school to be successful in
this field (compliance),"
she said. "Now I am apply-
ing for law school and will
take the LSAT in Decem-
ber."
By pursuing a career in
law, Miss Woods will be fol-
lowing in the footsteps of
both her mother Sarah
Woods, the senior assistant
county attorney for Martin
County, and her father,
Walter Woods, a local real
estate attorney, who also
serves as a board member
of the American Red Cross
Martin County Chapter.


Katie Woods
She recommends that
youngsters volunteer for
the Red Cross, since she's
experienced firsthand and
seen the importance of
volunteer work and the
value it can bring to both
the giver and the recipient.
"A lot of people don't
know about Red Cross and
think we're funded by the
government, but we rely on
donations," she explained.
"They don't realize that you
can also volunteer your
time."

From page A7
Look at our Congress.
The Democrats, now that
they are in the majority, are
certainly not getting any-
thing done. All they do is
form committees trying to
dig up dirt on the Republi-
cans and their accomplish-
ments.
They went on vacation in
the middle of a big crisis,
the surveillance act. They
just don't care what hap-
pens to the people in this
country.
They got the minimum
wage (passed). Most of the
country was already paying
employees more money.
The Congress needs to
give the CIA and the FBI the
authority to listen in on all
surveillance now. Never
mind warrants. By the time
they get a warrant. the ter-
rorists are done with the
conversation.

Stewart
From page A5
permits you to decrease the
quoted price of the car by
the amount of the dealer
fee. This would have the
same net effect of removing
it. The salesman von't
permit this because he will
lose his commission
(typically25 percent) on the
decrease in his commis-
sionable gross profit.
If you don't know me, I
should tell you that 1 don't
profess to be some "holier
than thou" car dealer who
was always perfect.
Although, I never did
anything illegal, when I
look at some of my adver-
tising and sales tactics 20
plus years ago, I am not
always proud. But I have
evolved as my customers
have evolved.
My customers' expecta-
tions level of education and
sophistication are much
higher today. Your cus-
tomers are no different.
As I began treating my
customers and employees
better, I discovered that
they began treating me
bette.rAes, I used to charge
a dealer fee ($495) and
whe't'stopped chargingit"
a fe' years ago, it was scary.
But I did it because I could
no longer, in good con-
scious, mislead my cus-
tomers. Just because
everybody else was doing
the same thing did not
make it right.
Now here is the good
news. My profit per car did
drop by about the amount
of the dealer fee when I
stopped charging it. But
when my customers
realized that I was now
giving them a fair shake and
quoting the complete out-
the-door price with no
"surprises" the word
spread. My volume began
to rise rapidly.
Sure, I was making a few
hundred dollars less per
car, but I was selling a lot
more cars. Iwas. and am,
selling a lot of you r former
customers. My bottom line
is far better than it was
when I was charging a
dealer fee. You can do the
same.
Why am I writing this
letter? I'm not going to tell
you that I think of myself as
the new marshall that has
come to "clean up Dodge."
In fact, I am well aware that
this letter is to some extent
self-serving.
Lots of people will read
this letter to you and learn
why they should buy a car
from me, 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
my phone calls. I would
love to chat with you about
this.

For privacy fencing,

ith more people
using their yards as
outdoor kitchens
and living areas, privacy is a
major concern.
You can go through the
expense of installing a
physical wooden or resin
fence or you can opt for an
easier and less expensive
solution: A living fence
made up of plants.
As an example, I am trying
to hide an unsightly area in
my yard that includes an
air-conditioning unit and
water softener. I decided to
use a fast growing shrub
called Cherry Hedge. You
also may know them as
Surinam cherry. They make
one of the toughest hedges
that you can get. This is
especially important in
Florida. This plant belongs
to the Eugenia family,
which is known for fast and
easy to prune hedging
material.
The Cherry Hedge can
endure heavy shade or full
sun with ease. These plants
will grow quite rapidly once
established. You can aid
your plants future growth
by placing them in a good
quality-growing medium
(ie: cow manure) or by

topsoil.
Spacing of the plants is a
matter of personal prefer-
ence, but the general rule is
18 inches apart for a fast
effect hedge up to 24 inches
,apart for a more economical
scenario.
Once established, these
plants can grow up to 2 feet
or more a year. As with all
new plantings, watering
daily during the first few
weeks of planting is critical
to its development. Once
established, a couple of
times a week will probably
be sufficient.

to want to shape and prune
it on a regular basis. Using
the right tool is essential for
good results.
You can use a good quality
electric hedge shear or you
might opt to trim the bushes
by hand. If you decide the
latter, be sure your shears
are sharp so you cut the
branches and not rip them.
You can shape the hedge to
your liking and be as
creative as you like. Since
these bushes can grow from
3 to 8 feet in height, you
have lots of options for
creativity.
There is one more bonus I
forgot to mention: The
plants grow small cherry like
berries that are edible. The
fruits are often used in jams
and jellies. It's almost like
the perfect Florida plant.
They are also very tolerant
to high winds, which is one
more added bonus in our
area.

Chorale a lab-- lvel- -




Chorale a labor of love


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Ursula and Allen Rosenberg are
united in their passion for music.
Ursula, a native of Germany,
and Allen, a NewYorker, are now
Palm City residents and together
they are the driving forces behind
the music of the St. Lucie Chorale.
Alien, who serves as the artistic
director and conductor, has a
doctoral degree in music theory
and composition from Hamilton
University.
As an organist, he studied at
Juilliard and with Virgil Fox at
Riverside Church in New York City.
Fourteen years ago, he and Ursula
formed the St. Lucie Chorale.
"There was a niche in the
musical life of this part of Flori-
da," he said.
"There was a need for more
classical music. I knew it would
work as soon as we announced an
organizational meeting and 100
people came out of the woodwork.
Most were interested when they
knew we'd be doing Bach, Handel
and Vivaldi's "Gloria." All of the
works have become staples of the
group's repertoire; when they
perform, they work with an
orchestra of professional musi- ,
cians and soloists."
In March, 2007, the group
traveled to Ratingen, Germany,
near Dusseldorf, where the
conductor, Josef Waggin is a

Week of 08-31-2007

Aries-March 21-April 19
Where do you get all the energy? You continue to
amaze your friends and co-workers. You seem to
have a never-ending supply of drive and fortitude.
You know what you want and you go for it. You
usually get what you desire. The key is to pace
yourself so you have energy left at the end of the
day to play and do fun things as well.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Sometimes less is more. Your tendency is to take
on many life challenges at once. This can be frus-
trating. Slow down a little. Listen to your heart. If
you don't feel it, don't do it. When you are bal-
anced the universe will bring the rewards for your
efforts in an easier manner. Try this method. You
may learn to like it.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
There are few life challenges you aren't up to han-
dling. Why? Because you have vision. Mars in


friend.
They performed Rossini's
"Stabat Mater" and Allen Rosen-
berg's "Waldron Requiem," a piece
he was commissioned to write.
On March 19, 2008, the Chorale
will perform the same program
with the Konzertchor '73 from
Ratingen at the Maltz Theatre in
Jupiter.
Ursula Rosenberg, who series
on the Chorale's board of directors
and does publicity for the group,
says that this is ani expensive
undertaking.
"We have to raise $50,000," she
says. "The Maltz has no stage
equipment. We have to rent
.everything: chairs, organs and
risers. We will have a dinner with
raffles, and are looking for spon-
sors."
In addition to the Maltz concert,
the new season includes a concert
at Mariner Sands Country Club
that is part of a luncheon/benefit
for charity, performances at St.
Andrews Episcopal Church in Fort
Pierce and St. Christopher's
Catholic Church in Hobe Sound,
and additional concerts at the
Blake Library in Stuart, with dates
to be announced.
Tickets range in price from $10-
$25 and will be available at the
door. The programs will include
Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No.
3 and Vivaldi's "Gloria" as well as
other choral works.
The group is seeking new voices

Allen Rosenberg says that he uses

Be bold. Say, "I can do it," and proceed to take
action. You won't know until you try. This
approach will bring new adventures in the present
and great rewards in the future.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Challenging events over the past.year have made
you more self reliant and have shown you clearly
where change and improvement are needed.
Challenges always seem to bring out the best in
you. Why? Because you are always up for them.
You always rise up again no matter what knocks
you down. This makes you a winner in life.

that which lives in your heart is what is truly right
for you. It's your job to go inside, find it, bring it
out and set it free. Let other less important issues
wait. Look for a miracle every day. Live in joy as
they come and all will be well.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept.22
Your only limits are what you place on yourself. Be,
daring and mighty spiritual forces will come to
your aid and assure success. New and exciting
possibilities are on the way. The ball is in your
court. Take action and create. You have the higher
good for all in your heart. Make the best of it for
yourself as well.


Sunday


Libra-Sept 23-Oct. 22
Finding, enhancing and protecting your divine pur-
pose should be the No. 1 priority in life. Your life
must be lived in balance. You are the Scales of Jus-
tice, you know. We all depend on you for balance
and good health. The journey is more important
than the destination. You then light the path for
others searching for truth.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
It is wonderful seeing you take responsibility for
your own life, happiness and choices. You have
heart and vision. Stay focused on the things that
make you happy. Your courage to try new ideas is
another of your many wonderful qualities. When
you use this divine inner guidance, nothing can
get in the way. Life is so good.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Say this out loud each day upon awakening and
your day will be bright. "The universe is constantly.
renewing me from the inside out. I live in perfect
balance and harmony. I am filled with joy for the
many blessings that grace my life. Peace, love and
divine presence surround and protect me. I am liv-
ing my dream and all is well."

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You continue to grow deep roots in spirit. You
reflect all the good stuff in life. You have the
courage of your convictions and stand up for
them. You live by truth. You make wise choices.

BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Dining review crew
STUART In the early
stages of the natural food
movement, eating healthy
consisted of dining on'fare
such as dry whole wheat
bread, alfalfa sprouts, sun-
flower seeds and tough
brown rice. topped off with
a cup of plain yogurt for
dessert.
Few concerts were won
over for long with that
bland, albeit nutritious,
diet.
Today, however, knowl-
edgeable chefs have
learned how to combine
good-for-vou with good
taste. and there's no better
place to experience the
results then at Healthy Har-
vest in Stuart.
Opened last February at
1-11 Indian Street adjacent
to the natural foods store of
the same name, Healthy
Harvest serves breakfast,
lunch and dinner in a cozy


ambiance of warm wood
floors, bamboo blinds and
charming brick walls. All
meals are prepared with
strictly organic produce,
wild-range organic eggs,
and dairy, meats, poultry
and wild fish raised without
the use of antibiotics or
hormones.
For whatever meal you
choose to enjoy here, be
sure to start off with one of
the freshly squeezed juice
blends such as the Citrus
Blaster (orange, lemon,
lime and apple juices
spiced with a hint of gin-
ger), the Gourmet Greens
(spinach, kale, cucumber
and celery), or the Florida
Sunset (carrots, celery and
beets). They're not only
sweet and tangy, but full of
vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants as well.
There are also eight
refreshing smoothies,
including the Tropical
Breeze (pineapple, mango,
banana and orange) and


the Java Jolt (espresso,
chocolate soymilk ice
cream and Rice Dream).
Breakfast choices range
from a variety of interna-
tional frittatas (Greek,
Spanish, Italian, French,
Chinese and American
omelets made with either
whole eggs or egg whites
only) to gluten-free pan-
cakes served with organic
maple syrup and a savory
variety of chicken sausages
(maple-apple, spinach-
feta, red-pepper, andouille
or sweet-Italian).
Other choices include a
variety of hot cereals (grits.
oatmeal: and creamy rice)
and granola topped with
your choice of organic milk
or rice, almond or soy milk.
We chose to visit for a late
lunch and were pleasantly
surprised at the ample
selections of wraps, opting
for both the Mediterranean

feta, seasoned with a savory
tomato vinaigrette) and the
Greek (grilled eggplant, feta
and sun-dried tomato,
served with a kalamata
olive tapenade).
Served with your choice
of whole wheat, spinach or
millet wraps. both are
delightfully accompanied
by a cup of crunchy
coleslaw and a side of warm
potato salad. There's also a
hummus wrap thai's per-
fect for vegans; it contains
sun-dried tomato. grated
carrot, olives, roasted red
pepper, cucumber and
onion.
For starters, We ordered-a,
bowl of incredibly savory
split pea soup, which
comes with a handful of
pita chips. We also sampled
the stir fry chicken, which
was loaded with colorful
strips of carrots and red,
green and yellow bell pep-
per, lots of sweet crunchy
cashews and seasoned with
a sesame ginger tamari.
If you opt to come for
dinner instead, you'll find
an extensive menu of such
exquisite entrees as slow
roasted lamb shank,
Mediterranean salmon fil-
let, slow roasted duck and
grilled Australian grass-fed
beef tenderloin. Vegetarian
offerings include roasted
vegetables papillote and
pan-seared sesame ginger
tofu. Lighter fare includes a
garbanzo bean burger and
a chicken quesadilla. A
variety of appetizers and
salads rounds out the
menu.
Desserts here are so
incredibly rich you'll won-
der how they could possibly
be healthy. We succumbed
to a couple of seductive
chocolate persuasions: the
mudslide cookie (a crunchy
devilish delight of choco-
late chips, pecans and tapi-
oca, arrowroot and sweet
rice flours) and the straw-
berry truffle brownie (a
chewy chocolate fix with a
hint of espresso). Both are
sweetened with evaporated
sugarcane juice.
We were also treated to a
taste of amaretto almond
ricotta cheesecake, a light
and -heavenly Italian twist
on this standard dessert,
created from an old family
recipe of restaurant manag-
er Anna Occhiogrosso.
Diners can choose to
dine inside or al fresco on
the delightful patio when
the weather cooperates.
Be sure to visit the
immaculate retail store
before you leave, where you
can pick up all the natural
organic ingredients you'll
need to prepare your own
healthy meals at home.
Healthy Harvest is located
at the corner of Indian
Street and Aster Lane, mid-
way between Federal High-
way and Willoughby Boule-
vard in Stuart.

Dispelling the myths about diabetes


r


.-8


ast week I wrote
about pre-diabetes,
and this week, I'm
going to review some
myths about diabetes,
taken from the American
Diabetes Association Web
site, www.diabetes.org.
The most important
thing to know is that
diabetes is a serious
condition that can lead to
serious complications,
including blindness,
amputation and even
death. It is important to
have it diagnosed and
treated at the earliest
stages.
Myth 1: You can catch
diabetes from someone else.
Diabetes is not conta-
gious. You can't catch it
like a cold. It may run in
some families and lifestyle
factors, such as weight,
poor nutrition and lack of
exercise. may contribute to
the risk of getting diabetes.
Myth 2: People with
diabetes can't eat sweets or
sugar.
People often talk about
diabetes as "sugar."
People with diabetes
need to regulate their
blood sugar and talk to the
doctor and dietician to
discuss what they can and
cannot eat. Everyone is
different and every case is
different. That's why it's

Alive and Well
important to have a team,
including your doctor and
nutrition educator, to help
you find the best eating
and monitoring plan for
you.
Myth 3: Eating too much
sugar causes diabetes.
Diabetes is caused by a
combination of genetic
and lifestyle factors. Being
overweight can increase
your risk, but eating sugar
itself will not cause the
disease.
Myth 4: People with
diabetes should eat special'
diabetic foods.
Everyone needs to eat a
balanced, healthy diet that
is low in saturated and
trans fats, with meals
based on whole grains,
fruits, vegetables and lean
protein, including fish,


poultry and low fat dairy
products.
How much of each to eat
is based on individual
needs and monitoring of
blood sugar levels. Special
"diabetic" foods that are
not low in calories will still
raise blood glucose levels
and can have a laxative
effect.
It's best to work out a
meal plan with an expert
and check your blood
sugar level often.
Myth 5: If you have
diabetes, you can't eat
starchy food such as bread,
potatoes and pasta
Starchy foods are part .of
a healthy meal plan, but
portion control is essential.
While grain breads, cereals,
pasta and rice and starchy
vegetables, such as pota-
toes, peas and corn, can be
included in small amounts.
A portion is probably a lot
smaller than you think, so
again, discuss it with an
expert in diabetes and
nutrition.
Whole grains contain
fiber, which is important
for intestinal health.
Myth 6: People with
diabetes are more likely to
get colds.
Having diabetes does not
make you more susceptible
to colds and flu, but people
with diabetes are urged to


1221-06271


get flu shots because any
infection interferes with
the body's ability to
manage blood glucose
levels.
Myth 7: Insulin causes
weigh t gaiin and since being
overweight is bad for you,
insulin shouldn't be taken.
Numerous studies have
shown that the benefits
from insulin if it is needed
to regulate blood glucose
levels outnumber any risk
of weight gain.
Not taking your insulin
because of a fear of weight
loss can have serious
consequence.
A balanced diet and
exercise is the best way to
manage and control
weight.

Summing it up: Diabetes
is a serious illness and you
need to treat it with
respect,,
Change those risk factors
in your control, get tested,
as appropriate, and
manage your illness
sensibly.
You're in charge.

Fixing computers by remote control


lot of people are
surprised when they
find out what I do for
a living.
They're not surprised that
I fix computers; what they
find surprising is how I fix
them.
Back in the old days (2005
and earlier), fixing comput-
ers usually meant an onsite
visit. Someone would e-mail
or call me with a computer
problem and I would do
what I could to help over the
phone.
If I was unable to resolve
the issue that way, then I
would break out my
appointment book and set
up a visit.
Often, when I was busy,
that meant there was a
delay and people would
have to wait a day or more
before I could get out there.
That always bothered me;
people depend so much on
their machines and that
delay would often cause
interruptions in productivi-
ty. When people have
computer problems they
usually need it fixed right
now, not days or even a
week later.
Then something life-
changing happened and I
found that I couldn't book
any appointments at all. I
got divorced and ended up
raising my two boys alone,


SEAN MCCARTHY

barely giving me enough
time to answer e-mails or
voice mails, leaving a lot of
people hanging.
But now, I'm happy to say
things are different.
Yes I am still a single dad
and time is limited, but with
the tools that are now
available I have the ability
to fix as many machines as I
can and never leave my
home office.
And geography is no
obstacle. It doesn't matter if
I get a call from someone
living a mile away or 3,000.
If they can get onto the
Internet and to my Web site,
then there is a very good
chance that I will be able to
connect to their machine
and fix them remotely right
then and there with little or
no delay and with no drive


time.
I love "living in the future!"
Remote access programs,
such as PC Anywhere, VNC
and remote desktop, have
been available for years and
this is true. However, in
order for these tools to work
they must be set up on the
computer that I'm trying to
connect to.
In the past, I tried setting
up machines for remote
connection on a first visit,
but that usually didn't pan
out too well and further
visits were necessary
anyways.
Today, there are new tools
available. Either they didn't
exist back then or, if they
did, I wasn't aware of them.
Now, I use a service called
"Log Me in Rescue" for my
remote connections. It
requires no set up or
software licensing fees on
the computer that I'm
connecting to, it's safe,
secure and reliable.
I discovered it when I was
setting up a Virtual Private
Network system for a client
and took a look at some of
the other tools that was
offered by the Log Me In
people
(www.LogMeIn.com). I
signed up for a trial license
of their rescue service and
right away knew that I had
stumbled upon a winner.


Here's how it works.
Like before, when a
computer user has a
problem, they call me or
send me an e-mail. I try to
walk them through whatev-
er I can since many prob-
lems are not as complex as
they initially appear and
many calls can be fixed with
a few "click here, do this..."
kind of instructions.
However, if it turns out
that I cannot resolve the
issue over the phone, now
all I have to do is walk the
caller through connecting to
the Internet, going to my
Web site and entering a six-
digit code that I give them
over the phone.
Once they enter the code
and click the "allow" button
a couple of times, I end up
looking at the screen just as
if I had pulled up a chair to
their keyboard and am then
able to troubleshoot the
issue just as if I was there.
So there it is: A perfect
solution to a daunting
problem. Now I can fix
computers without the
drive, without the delay and
with all of my tools here at
my disposal.
Isn't technology awesome?

Tai Chi at
the Palm City
Recreation Center

The Martin County Parks
and Recreation Department
offers Tai Chi classes at the
Palm City Recreation Cen-
ter. Pat Lawson teaches the


classes, which are arranged
into groups according to
experience.
Tai Chi is a gentle, slow
motion exercise that origi-
nated in ancient China. It'
combines elements of Chi-
nese Yoga and meditation
with self-defense tech-
niques and the Taoist Yin
and Yang philosophy.
Classes are for all ages and
ability levels. The practition-
er does not need special
clothes, equipment, or
space and can practice in a
chair or standing up. The
program includes compo-
nents to increase flexibility,
tone the muscles, develop
postural alignment,
enhance cardio-vascular fit-
ness, and improve the
mind-body connection.
The recreation center is
located on the west side of
the Palm City Bridge. The
class is offered at 6 p.m. on
Tuesday and 1 p.m. on
Thursday at the recreation
center, and classes are also
offered at 6 p.m. on Wednes-

W warning: There be
thieves about.,

They may be lurking
behind bushes or standing
right out in the open. Wlieie
ever they are, you need to
pay close attention to sour
golf equipment or you may
find yourself without it.
.A short time ago 1 found
out that a friend of mine
came out of the pro shop
after grabbing a cold drink
after a round to find his
bag. clubs, everything gone.
This is the lowest of low.
Most golfers are vern
i trusting, almost to a taitlt.
We're entrusted to keep ottur
6o\ n score and Cidl our own
penalties.
Apparently sonic people
are taking advantage of our
trusting nature.


Local lanes celebrate
Bowling Week

Stuart Lanes will be cele-
brating national bowling


Anyone who has pur-
chased golf equipment
knows how valuable those
items are, and how hard
they are to replace. Now it's '
time to get everyone's
attention, give them a
heads-up and some
common sense tips ,so
these thieves will have a
hard time ruining someone
else's day.
Most of us drop our bags
off at the bag drop and let ..
the cart attendant put them
onto a t.art while t- park
the car. Make sure the cart
attendant works lor the
course. lMost, it not all,
course staff have shirts and
name badges identify mg
them as employees. If thli
attendant isn't around, wait
or make sure someone
from your group stays with
your clubs.
\Vlcn we golfers head to
the practice tee to warm
.up. we seldom bring our
entire bag with us. We
usually pick out a couple
clubs and head to the tee,
leaving the bag with the
rest of the clubs tied to the
cart. This is an opportune
time for a would-be thief to
grab that pricey driver or
putter right out of the bag.
There are so many players
and carts around at that
time that, chances are, no

leave out bag and all of its
precious contems right
there at the hag drop. There
couldn't he a more perfect
oppoit unity to haxe your

simply walks up, picks up
your bag and heads to his
car. No one notices any-
thing until you come out
and cannot find your bag
and clubs.
Most of us have the cart
attendant wipe down our
clubs after our round when
we return the cart. We
no16 mall tip this person a
few dollars and then head
inside. Give the attendant a
couple extra bucks and ask
him or her to put your clubs
inside the cart barn or their
club storage room until you
are leaving. Or, you can
simply take them to your
car and lock them inside
before heading off for
drinks.

doesn't belong to this
person. They may think he's
just grabbing another club.
to warm up with or heading
to the putting green.
Golfers have large egos
and we love to advertise
our weapons. We leave that
expensive driver under that
huge headcover that
screams, "Look at me. I'm.
the newest $500 d river
sitting right here!"
Many thieves look for
those headcovers. I hey
know with a quick glance
whether or not something
in your bag has a large
street value and can be
sold quickly.
Replace those headcovers

these days. Make a point of
recording those numbers
and keep them in a safe.
place. It makes identifying
them much easier and most
companies adk for them if
you have aAvarrancy i.sue.
If you do happen to have
your clubs stolen, chances
are they are gone forever.
Many homeowner or
renter's insurance policies
will cover items stolen awa\
trom the house, but by the
time you pa\ your
deductible it still winds up
costing you a lot to replace
them.
We need to take precau-
tions and protect ourselves.
I love the clubs that I have.
They have been through the
thick and the thin of my golf
game and I'd hate to see
them in another's hands or
wasting away in a pawn
shop.
So, keep your eyes open,
use some common sense
and your clubs will stay safe
and sound so that you both
can enjoy your next great
round together.

Tigers are outrun


by Merritt Island


, e ',


BY MATT DEWHURST
Sports writer
After watching Merritt
Island roll up over 400 yards
of total offense en-route to a
28-21 kickoff classic victory,
Martin County knows what
they have to work on if they
plan on winning next week
against Sebring.
Defense.
Merritt Island running
backs Kyle Hayes and Bran-
don Troutman each rushed
for over 100 yards in the
win, exposing .the Tigers'
ineffective defensive line.
"We have to get better
defensively," said Martin
County head coach Chuck
Kenyon. "We need to work
on playing our assign-
ments."
As much as the Tigers
defense looked weak
against the run, their pass
defense looked as good.
Martin County defensive
backs picked off Merritt
Island quarterbacks twice,
including one in the end
zone by Gillie St. Hill after
Shawn Kaliowski made a
great play, tipping the ball
just before it reached the
hands of the receiver.
On offense, senior Lyle
Dankenbring looked ready
to start the season, rushing
for 113 yards on 13 carries,
all in the first half. Danken-
bring will carry the load for
a Tigers offense that was
supposed to be stacked with
running backs this season.

Ultimate Frisbee hits
the Treasure Coast

Ever hear about people
playing ultimate Frisbee
and wonder what it really
is?
Come out to Sportsman's
Park in Port St. Lucie on
Monday from 8-10 p.m. to
play pick up ultimate and,
learn a fun new game. Just
bring a light and dark shirt
and a willingness to have


But a season-ending injury
to Brooks DuBois and off-
field problems for 2006
leading rusher Marcus Jack-
son left Dankenbring as the
team's only returning starter
in the backfield.
"Lyle is Lyle. We know
what he brings to the table.
We actually took his helmet
from him so he wouldn't
sneak on the field (after
being taken out in the sec-
ond half)," Kenyon said.
"We're just playing the hand
we're dealt and tailoring
around the hand we have,
instead of what we don't
.have."
Junior quarterback Ron-
nie Nelson sat out the game
as a precaution after a stiff
back kept him out of prac-
tice the week leading to the
game, but will start Aug. 31
against Sebring Kenyon
said.
Back up Richard ShWer
took his place. And despite
looking awkward under
center, at first, Shiller, who
normally plays receiver, had
moments where he looked
poised throwing the ball.
His 54-yard pass to Danken-
bring was the Tigers' only
passing touchdown.
"I think Shiller did an out-
standing job, as far as com-
ing in and taking snaps,"
Kenyon said. "We got to pro-
tect him because of his lack
of experience."
Martin County opens its
season against Sebring High
School Aug. 31 at home.
