STUART Residents
of North Stuart and 'the
North River Shores area
may be shopping at a
new Publix if Stuart city
commissioners and proj-
ect planners can figure
out how to get customers
in and out of the parking
lot.
The proposed shop-
ping center will be locat-
ed at the northeast cor-
ner of U.S. 1 and Baker
Road, less than a mile
north of the Roosevelt
Bridge. Stuart commis-
sioners had previously
asked the developer to
work with Martin County
traffic engineers and their
counterparts at the Flori-
da Department of Trans-
portation since Baker
Road is county main-
tained and not within the
jurisdiction of the city.
Upon reviewing the
center's master final site
plan on Sept. 24, com-
missioners were sur-
prised to find that the
project's northbound
access to U.S. 1 had been
altered substantially
since they'd last reviewed

Mr. Dougherty came to
Jensen Beach after serving
as band director for six
months at Alfred 1. Dupont
middle school in Jack-
sonville. A native of Easton,
Pa., he says that instead of
hindering him, his youthful-
ness actually works for him
as band director.
"1 share similar interests,
and I can relate to them (the
students)," he said. "Tech-
nology is not something that
scares me. Just like them, I
grew up In the IPod age."
One of the people Instru-
mental in hiring him for the
position of band director
was Jan Richardson, the first
vice president of the Jensen
Beach High School Band

"We interviewed several
candidates for that job," she
said. "All of us had the same
feeling that Tom was able to
handle the responsibility of
that position. He has a com-
mand presence, and he
leads with authority."
She also said his youthful
age was never a factor.
"We interviewed another
candidate about the same
age as him, but with Tom,
there was never a question
that he was mature-enough
to handle the position and
be able to maintain control
and give the band the type
of leadership that it need-
ed."

Commission rejects area


condominium project


Developer
threatens legal
action
BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staffwriter
MARTIN COUNTY A
Vero Beach real estate
developer left the Martin
County Commission in
anger on Sept. 25, after
commissioners forced him
to withdraw his request to
expand a Tequesta condo-
minium complex.
Developer Tim Doran of
Vero Beach came: to the
meeting expecting com-
missioners to approve his
plan to add 63 new units to
the Little Club in Tequesta,
since the development
review board, local plan-
ning agency and county
staff had all signed off on
the project.


He left disappointed
after commissioners
declined to follow staff
recommendations, citing
project compliance issues.
Tequesta stretches into
Palm Beach County and
parts of unincorporated
Martin County.
Commissioners deter-
mined the expansion was
in violation of Martin
County's comprehensive
plan density require-
ments, which allow no
more than 10 residential
units per acre. After fur-
ther studying the Little
Club site ,plan, commis-
sioners decided that only
33 additional units could
be built on the 6.3-acre
property due to the loca-
tion of three existing
buildings on the site.
Those residences were not
included in the develop-
er's density calculations.
After the public hearing


ended, Mr. Doran lashed
out at Commissioner Lee
Weberman, in whose dis-
trict the property lies,
accusing him of political
grandstanding in an elec-
tion season.
"He only cares about
getting votes," Mr. Doran
said. "Little Club residents
vote, and they don't miss
an election."
Commissioner Weber-
man said his decision on
the project had nothing to
do with vote-getting, but
rather on the site plan's
technical flaw.
"I evaluate develop-
ments on their technical
requirements, but this
project didn't meet them,"
he said.
The flaw that Mr. Weber-
man referred to was the
fact that the existing build-
ings were submitted as

Residents gather


to halt crime wave


Some 30 burglaries in Hobe Sound
have locals seeking solutions


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staffwriter
HOBE SOUND More
than 150 residents of Hobe
Sound packed the town's
community center to learn
how to better protect their
homes and possessions
after a recent rash of home
burglaries.
Martin County Sheriff
Robert Crowder, Florida
District 82 Rep. Bill Snyder
and Martin County Com-
missioner Lee Weberman
were also in attendance as
local law enforcement offi-
cers explained the situation,
handed out home inventory
sheets and fielded questions
from residents.
Thieves have broken into
approximately 30 area
homes scattered between


Hobe Sound and Port Saler-
no in recent months, taking
everything from jewelry to
plasma televisions and
automobiles. Even wall and
floor safes have not been
immune, with residents
coming home to find them
ripped out of the walls and
floors.
No suspects have been
captured so far, according to
Sheriff's Office Detective
Sergeant Mike Dougherty,
although he said no break-
ins have occurred in about
three weeks, probably due
to an increased police pres-
ence in the area.
"It's declined about 100
percent," he said. "We have
put a lot of man hours into
it. On any given day, we may

part of the master plan,
which caused the project to
exceed the county's density
limits. One of the attorneys
for the developer, John
Young, tried to explain why
they were included.


"The reason that the
buildings are located where
they are on this proposed
site plan is because it
matches the location on the
declaration of condomini-
um," he said.


Cal us todayto fearn heow you -.aa V "7ctr
youir own show on M$nWi 5 S
9~2-33-~59C'


Mr. Young explained that
the original site plans,
approved in the 1970's,
allowed the property owner
to build up to 450 condo-
miniums and 134 villas. The
project was never fully
developed and currently
contains 370 condos and
127 villas.
Mr. Doran's expansion
plans originally called for 80
new condominiums, but he
says that county staff reject-
ed that number, instead
coming up with 63 units as
satisfying the county com-
prehensive plan. He also
says the county knew all
along about the three build-
ings being part of the origi-
nal site plan.
"The staff asked me to put
those other three buildings
on the site plan, but the
commission can just throw
staff under the bus," he said.
"I was set up... they knew


damn well I couldn't do
what they wanted me to do."
Commissioner Michael
DiTerlizzi said it wasn't the
commission's responsibility
to deal with condo declara-
tions and that the Little
Club's original site plan had
expired years ago.
"That site plan is null and
void," he said. "It has no
validity in Martin County
any more."
Mr. Young then hinted
that legal action might be
the result if the county
insisted on nullifying his
client's property rights.
"If you deny this applica-
tion because what you're
saying is compliance with
the declaration doesn't
equate with compliance to
your land-use codes, then
we don't have a property
right in that property any
more," he said. "And then
you're forcing both of us into

project, but there is resident fatigue about this
project. The point is, the process works"'

litigation, and I don't think
that's a choice that's desir-
able for anybody at this
point."
Saying that his questions
on the project had not
been adequately
answered, Commissioner
DiTerlizzi emphasized that
the commission was not
denying the applicant's
right to build.
"I'm not saying, whether
you're denied or not, that
you don't have a right to
make application to build
something," he said. "It
just may not be what's
before us."
Several of the residents
of the original sections of
condominium develop-
ment attended the hearing
to express their opposition
to the expansion. One of
them, Ruth DiValerio, said
she's lived at the complex
for 12 years.
"I am not opposed to
progress, but I am opposed
to more being built," she
said. "The reason that I
came there was because it
was quiet and serene.
There are plenty of places
for sell or rent now. To
build now is ridiculous."
She said she was
shocked that more Little
Club residents hadn't
shown up for the hearing.
"I though I wasn't even
going to get a seat today,"
she said.
The Little Club Condo
Association was represent-
ed by its hired counsel,
Kara Baxter of West Palm
Beach, who said that the
site plan approved in the
1970s was incorporated
into the condominium
documents.
"The association's docu-
ments must control the
build-out unless they are
amended," she explained.
"They (association mem-


bers) are not opposed to
any kind of development
but want to ensure that it
is compliant with the land
development code and the
comprehensive plan."
Mr. Doran said the same
condo documents will not
enable him to build 33
units as suggested by the
commission when refusing
his application.
"I can't go in there and
just build something dif-
ferent it's illegal," he
said.
"If I build them, the Lit-
tle Club is going to say that
I am not conforming to the
footprint."
Just prior to the end of
the hearing, Commission-
er Doug Smith urged the
developer to agree to a
new timeline for another
public hearing rather than
withdrawing his applica-
tion altogether.
"You're opening up a
Pandora's box," he said.
"The reality is, it's not over.
By continuing it, there
would some incentive for
the applicants to sit down
and negotiate."
Mr. Doran decided to
withdraw anyway, saying
later that he feared an out-
right denial. After the hear-
ing was over, Commission-
er Weberman said that he
was happy the developer
had withdrawn his applica-
tion.
"Things come out during
the course of things," he
said. "I don't know if we
have a fatal flaw in this
project, but there is resi-
dent fatigue about this
project. The point is, the
process works."
Mr. Doran said afterward
that he was going to have
his attorneys look into the
property rights issue, as
well as the relationship
between the Little Club
and the Martin County
Commission.

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

This season's monthly art
feature, First Thursday, at
Stuart's Court House Cul-
tural Center, includes color-
ful glazes, hand-built,
wheel-thrown, and porce-
lain pottery. The show will

potters in the exhibit "Pot-
ters with Passion," which
will run through Oct. 19.
This is the first show of its
kind at Stuart's Court House

REVIEW

Popular county beach closed indefinitely
One of Martin County's most popular family beaches
during the summer, Bathtub Reef Beach on Hutchinson
Island, has been closed due to extreme beach erosion.
County officials had already closed the northern end
of the beach a few weeks ago due to erosion, but recent
heavy rains ha\ e further eroded a large sand dune and
flooded the parking lot, forcing the closure of the south
end as well.
Bathtub Reef is a rocky shore with no natural sand,
but sand was spread along the shore in 2005 when the
county spent some $8 million on area beach renourish-
ment.
According to Don Donaldson, the county engineering
director, officials are seeking an emergency permit from
the state to restore the dune, but that could take up to a
month and a half. Officials shored up the parking lot
with several dump truck loads of sand on Sept. 28, but
the beach still remains closed to the public.

List grows for Republicans seeking
DiTerlizzi's county commission seat
A total of three Republicans are now in the running for
the seat of Martin County Commissioner Michael DiTer-
lizzi. John Hockey, 46, part-owner of a local construction
and real estate firm, was the latest to announce his can-
didacy.
Mr. Hockey joins excavation contractor Daniel Blake
and local business owner Ed Ciampi in the race for
DiTerlizzi's spot on the commission.
Mr. DiTerlizzi is vacating his position as commissioner
to run for the office of the 81st District of Florida, cur-
rently held by Rep. Gayle Harrell, who's being forced out
by term limits.
Kohl's officially on Treasure Coast
Martin County residents got its first taste of shopping
at a Kohl's department store when the new Jensen
Beach store formally opened at 8 a.m. on Oct. 3.
Treasure Coast shoppers were treated to a preview of
the offerings of the Wisconsin-based chain when the
store held a soft opening on Sept. 30.
Kohl's offers a variety of national brands at locally
competitive prices, as well as its own private label
brands.
Female shoppers will find a brand-new affordable line
of Vera Wang items known as Simply Vera, which
includes apparel, linens, accessories and more. For the
men, Kohl's carries a line of casual wear designed by
professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, as well as a very
hip line of clothing known as apt. 9.
Shoppers will also find a wide variety of housewares,
including a new line of kitchen products produced by
the Food Network.
The 88,000 square foot store is located at 2751 N.W.
Mall Circle just to the southeast of the Treasure Coast
Square Mall. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Almost 200 employees will keep things running
smoothly at the Jensen Beach location, which joins
more than 800 other stores across the nation. The com-
pany opened its first Florida stores in 2005.
Congress passes Water Act
Almost seven years after it was first proposed, the
monumental Water Resources, Development Act was
approved by the Senate on Sept. 24 in an 81 to 12 vote.

have 20-30 unmarked cars

hood."
Detective Dougherty
explained that the thieves
tend to pick homes where
no cars are in the driveway
and the front doors are
obscured by shrubbery and
landscaping. Their favorite
entry points seem to be
doors with side lights that
they can easily break
through. They've used hole
punches to break the glass
and crowbars to pry open
doors. Most robberies have
occurred between the hours
of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
"If they want to get in,
they're getting in," he said.
"There's not a lot you can
reasonably do... just neigh-
bors watching out for neigh-
bors."
Detective Dougherty said
that investigators believe
the thieves work in pairs.
One probably knocks on the
door of a home for several
minutes, while the other
stands guard or waits in the
car.
Although most homes
have been unoccupied, one
did take place with an elder-
ly gentleman in a back bed-
room who never knew that
he'd been robbed until
later. One woman came
home to find all of her pos-
sessions in boxes by the
front door, signifying that
something must have given
the thieves cold feet.
Detective Dougherty
emphasized that an
exhaustive investigation
was under way and believes
that an arrest is imminent.
"There's several people
involved but I can't com-
ment more because it's an
ongoing investigation," he
said.
Martin County Sheriff's
Office Community Pro-
grams Practitioner Laura
Passanesi said that one of
the most effective ways for
residents to protect their
belongings is to write down
a complete home invento-
ry, including serial num-
bers and taking photo-
graphs of jewelry.
"If you have a TV, write
the serial number down,"
she said. "If you have a
bicycle or a camera, write
the serial number down. If
you don't have a serial
number to that property,
it's going to very difficult to


prove it's yours later."
She also emphasized that
residents need to take note
of anything that seems out
of the ordinary, such as
unfamiliar people canvass-
ing the neighborhood or a
moving van when no one
has announced they're
moving. They should call
911 to report the suspicious
activity.
One resident, Cheryl
Caldwell, said she'd recent-
ly moved up from Fort
Lauderdale, where these
kinds of robberies are com-
mon. She particularly
wanted to warn the elderly
of the tricks that thieves
sometimes use.
"Two people frequently
come to an older person's
home, offering pest inspec-
tions or tree services," she
said. "One person will dis-
tract the resident, while the
other proceeds to rob the
home while the owner is
distracted."
Even though there's been
no case of anyone being
robbed at gunpoint, Ms.
Passanesi said that resi-
dents should not open their
doors to anyone unknown
to them.
"Unless it's a little girl
holding a box of Girl Scout
cookies, don't open that
door," she said.
If residents are at home
and think their home is
being broken into, she
advised them to lock them-
selves into a bedroom or
closet with a telephone so
they can call 911.
Both Ms. Passanesi and
Detective Dougherty
emphasized that the best
deterrent for a home rob-
bery was for residents to get
to know their neighbors and
form neighborhood watch
groups.
One resident of Hobe
Hills, Janet Norwillo, asked
anyone in that neighbor-
hood to sign up to be part of
a neighborhood watch
group that she and a neigh-
bor were forming.
When asked why Hobe
Sound in particular was get-
ting hit, Mr.Dougherty com-
pared it to fisherman who
return to the same spot
because they always get a
bite.
"These guys that I have
talked to, they say, 'this is
easy pickings'... you guys
don't lock your doors."
Anyone interested in join-
ing the Hobe Hills watch
group can call Janet Norwil-
lo at (772) 285-8441.


Band
From page Al


Orlando as part of his edu-
cation for preparing him for
the day-to-day rigor of man-
aging a classroom full of
adolescents.
"You have already had all
those experiences, and you
know what to expect," he
said. "You know how to han-
dle things."
The new band director
says that he's had no prob-
lems with students.
"I keep my professional
demeanor, he explained.
"The kids are great, and they
understand the separation
between teacher and stu-
dents."
Jensen Beach High School
principal Ginger Feather-
stone said that Mr.


Opp". w a
i.,'.
:~t;~~: ~ -.~.~ *I~~~~IC;I jl


Dougherty brings a new
level of enthusiasm and
excitement to a job that
requires a great deal of ener-
gy.
"He has truly been a won-
derful addition to our school
and the band program," she
said. "He is highly qualified,
energetic, enthusiastic and
loves what he does."
She also said that she was
excited about the school's
band program and where
the new band leader was
continuing to take it.
"He is continuing my
desire for a quality jazz band
and fulfilling the high expec-
tations of Jensen Beach High
School," Ms,, Featherstone
said.
Mr. Dougherty said one of
his biggest musical influ-
ences was his high school
musical director, along with
his parents, who always
encouraged his musical pur-
suits, even though they
aren't musicians themselves.
He also says that he was
never distracted by the fame
offered by a career as a pro-
fessional musician either.
"It was never my passion,"
he said. "My passion was
education."
Mr. Dougherty proved his
passion for his own educa-
tion by maintaining a 3.85
GPA throughout his music
studies at Florida State,
where he graduated magna
cum laude.
Just five days later, he
accepted his first teaching
position in Jacksonville.
Mr. Dougherty says that
he grew to love Florida while
studying in Tallahassee and
that Florida's great educa-
tional system convinced
him to stay in the state after
graduation.
"The bands, the schools,
they're so much better
down here," he said. "In
relationship to the rest of
the country, Florida is lead-
ing the way. They have very
high standards, and the
teachers do everything to
meet and exceed those
standards."

Take care of the environment

I am eight years old.
I wanted to write to you because our country is not taking
care of the environment.
When I walk to Indian Riverside Park, I see tons of cans,
bags and even diapers.
I would like to help clean up the environment.
One time I went to the pool and I saw a diaper in the tow-
els.
Is that sickening or what?
That is why I wrote to you.

Martin Memorial

I have read with interest that Martin Memorial Medical
Center is laying off 70 employees.
They have also gotten rid of the valet parking, which real-
ly benefited the elderly.
They don't allow their hospital physicians to give patients
flu shots
However, they have purchased new, expensive trashcans
for the outdoors.
What I find interesting is that at Martin Memorial North,
they have made a private dining room for the physicians,
and the doctors get to eat free.
Imagine that.
Of all people, I would think that the doctors could afford
their own food.
I would like to see how much is paid for that.
I am curious what the chief executive officer's salary is for
a not-for-profit hospital.
Maybe it's just me, but something is wrong with this pic-
ture.

I love the paper

This is a rave for the Hometown News.
I just love your paper. I look forward to it every single
Thursday.
From the front page to the back page, I just love it.
I know that the County Commission should be grateful
for your rants and raves section, because I'm sure that they
would be hearing about some things if people weren't
allowed to vent.
Thanks so much for your paper.

There are no special circumstance

I am responding to the "Choose life, whose life" rant that
was in the paper.
This person wanted to know why everyone feels that they
need to put choose, life on their license plate.
The reason is very clear.
It is to protect an unborn child from the ultimate death of
abortion.
You are wrong to say.that the choose life proponents say
that it is OK to have an abortion in cases of rape or molesta-
tion.
This is not called a special circumstance.
A woman who is pregnant has a living being in her, and
does not have any right to'terminate it.
There are thousands of couples on waiting lists that will
gladly accept that precious little baby.
I should know. Our 14-year old daughter was raped, and
became pregnant.
After much counseling, and prayer, she gave birth to a
beautiful baby boy.
She gave the baby up for adoption, knowing that she
couldn't give the'baby the upbringing he deserved because
of her age.
A wonderful couple adopted the baby boy, and now he is
doing great.
My daughter has graduated from college, is happily mar-
ried, and has a'son of her own.
She often thinks about the precious little boy she gave up
for adoption, but knows in her heart that she did the right
thing.
Abortion in any terms is taking away a life.
In the article, the ranter also says that people like the
choose lifers should be blamed for the 16-year old girl who
hides her pregnancy from her parents, has the baby in a gas
station bathroom, and puts him in a dumpster, left to die
because she is too ashamed to tell her parents.
That is a really sick thing to say.
These types of things happen, but they are mostly done
because of parents not talking tq their children, and educat-
ing them about things that may happen in life.
Children have to know that no matter what; they can talk
to their parents.
I will pray for you, and for all of the unborn children.

Reply to "Florida tax laws not fair"

Regarding the ranter about taxes, for starters, live within
your means.
Don't buy a $300,000 home, if you can't afford the taxes.
Secondly, you stated you have no job; that may be part of
the problem.


The Homestead Act is a Godsend for Florida.
The problem lies with those people that do not reside
here trying to make a quick buck flipping homes.
Blame them for the rise in taxes and values.
Do all Florida residents a favor, and denounce the Super
Exemption, or we'll all suffer soon.

More on homosexuals

Okay, let's try this once more, shall we? We'll start with
the ranter's response, "Judge not lest you be judged."
First, the ranter "supposes" that I am a Christian because
I quote the Bible by chapter and verse.
Many non-Christians quote the Bible every day.
By this supposition the ranter passes judgment on me
for being a Christian, and I pray there is enough evidence
to convict me of it.
Secondly, I am accused of judging homosexuals.
I stated very plainly that it is God's Law, not my opinion,
that homosexuality is an abomination, and therefore obvi-
ously wrong.
I judged no one; I merely stated fact.
Thirdly, the suggestion that I keep my mouth and per-
sonal opinions to myself is laughable.
The Rants and Raves is an opinion page, and I'll be sure
to give the suggestion all the consideration I feel it is due.
Thank you for quoting Matthew 7:1 and Luke 6:37 about
judging others, even though you quoted only part of the
verse(s) and completely out of context, as most "politically
correct people" do.
Now, as to "attitude, not definition."
Firstly, I am neither self-righteous, nor would I ever pre-
sume to speak for God.
God speaks for himself very well, thank you very much.
I merely quoted scripture and stated facts. I never stated
that all who disagree with me are sinners, and I am very
well versed in the different world cultures.
Also respect everyone's right to their own beliefs, even if
their beliefs might send them to hell. That is what "free
will" is all about.
We are all sinners; we Christians are just forgiven
because we have asked Jesus Christ to forgive and cleanse
us.
The ranter's definition of the word homosexual is accu-
rate. However, I defined the word, abomination, not
homosexual.
If you are going to judge me, judge me for what I actually
wrote.
As to scientific evidence that homosexuality is not nor-
mal, I have given you the greatest evidence that science,
nature and God can provide, gays cannot procreate; they
can only recruit.
If homosexuality were normal, all animal life would
cease to exist.
What more evidence could you possible need? If it is
normal, why isn't everyone gay? I don't practice a religion.
I stand fast on God's holy word, and apply God's princi-
ples to my life. Do you?
No true Christian can respect or accept a homosexual
lifestyle.
Will I share a pew, a hymnal, or Bible with a homosexual?
You bet.
Will I vote a homosexual into membership in God's
house? God forbid, but I will be happy to council and pray
with, and for, them anytime, any place.
It does sadden me, however, that my genuine concern
for all gays was twisted and perverted by you in your
responsess, just as I said it would be.
Lastly, God will bless all people and nations, as long as
they bless Israel, Gen 12:3
"And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that
curseth thee..."
So, do not cast stones at me, or judge me for telling you
the truth of God's word.
After all, I am only the messenger, and you obviously
need to hear it.


Take precautions

I read more and more about people getting hurt, or worse,
when they answer their front door to strangers.
Maybe what I do to protect myself will help others.
Everyone has a front window. When I answer my front
door, I go to the window with a phone in my hand.
I raise the window just a little to see what they want.
That way I am not in full range of being violated.
Also, I have no solicitor sign on my door. I notice that
helps keep away people selling, or pretending to sell.

Ugly inside is bone deep

This is in response to rant and rave about fat people.
I don't know who the hell you think you are, but obviously
you think you're perfect.
Too bad we don't live in a perfect world.
Thank God, most people aren't as simple minded as you.
What a dull world this would be.
So to all of us that are overweight, we may be fat, but we
can lose weight. However, ugly inside. and out goes all the
way to the bone.
Do us all a favor, and pack yourself up and take your Yan-
kee self, and your attitude back to Connecticut.
For the sake of us all, stay off the beaches.

Response to negative articles

I'm disheartened when I read articles filled with prejudice
and judgments.
The article on "fat people" was appalling, insulting and
showed the ignorance and lack of sensitivity of the writer.
I am 5 feet 3 inches, and weigh 129 pounds, just for your
point of reference.
I suggest you ask yourself this question: If you were dying
and the most experienced surgeon in the world weighed 300
pounds, and was the only one who could save your life,
would you feel the same way?
Would you refuse to be helped by him/her?
But by the grace of God, this writer is not fighting the
every day weight problems that he or she is observing jn
other people.
To see one's self so perfect, and without a single flaw must
be wonderful.
If you ha% e never smoked, drank, insulted someone, lied,
cheated, been abusive, unloving, inconsiderate, a bully,
intolerant, lazy, unkind, been angry, etc., then you may "cast
the first stone."
Believe me, none of us are near that perfect. In fact we are
so low on the evolutionary scale that we should be
ashamed.
The negative articles on homosexuality, leave me won-
dering why we fear terrorism from without, when each of, as
seen in such negative, insulting and derogatory articles, are
expressing none other then the" terrorist within."
As I see it, those who lack tolerance, patience, under-
standing, sympathy, empathy, and all the goodness these
verbs pronounce, reflect in their words the emptiness that
comes from a dispirited personality.
This type of negativity contributes to separation and
exclusion, rather than oneness, which calls for inclusion.
We must awaken to the reality that we all emanate from
one God, and none is more special then the other, even
though some of us would like to think so.
We are in this world to heal the world, not to destroy it
with our pettiness and puffed-up thinking.
It's time to make a positive contribution as human beings.
Time to think from spirit rather than ego, time to be a con-
tributor of goodness, to search out the terrorist element
within each of us, and decide whether or not it is serving us,
as humanity.
Look around folks, it is not.
Just remember every hurt we inflict with our tongue, will
come back to us in some shape or form, because as the say-

Rants & Raves
From page A6
ing goes, "what comes around goes around."

You are guilty also

This is directed to the persons) who witnessed the kittens
being thrown out of the vehicle.
I want to thank you for being enough of a human being to
call the police with a description of the vehicle.
Next, I sincerely hope you were embellishing for the sake
of writing, that the kittens were there for two days and
nights.
If you were not, I condemn your actions and hope that
you receive the same punishment as the persons) that did
the original deed.
If you knew that the kittens were there, you should have
made the same phone calls you suggested to the people
committing the act.
You should have stopped your car and collected them. Or,
if you live nearby, which you must, if you knew they were
there for two days and nights, you should have collected
them.
You are as guilty for the cruelty they endured, as the per-
son is who threw them out.
What a horrible way to go.
You deserve some sleepless nights, in addition to the pun-
ishment, to reflect on the fact that you did not help those
helpless creatures.
I can assure you, that even if I had been running late to an
appointment, that I could not miss or be late for, that I
would have stopped, and at the very least made sure those
kittens were safe.
I am sure that there are more people than not that would
have made the same decision to help. You did not.
Instead, you opted to let them suffer for two days and
nights. Shame on you is nowhere near strong enough.
However, I want this published so I need to self-edit. I am
sure people will understand what I really want to say.
I have never written a newspaper with the intent to be
published in my 40 years on this planet.
What you did was so appalling that my wife asked me to
stop reading your rant, and to start composing my own rant
at breakfast on Saturday.

We are not judging

In reply to the letters regarding homosexuality behavior,
please understand that genuine Christians do love all peo-
ple.
Keep in mind that it is sin that we are to hate, such as
lying, stealing, adultery, sexual immorality, etc. because
according to God, sin is what keeps us out of heaven when
we pass on.
We are not judging anyone, just quoting what God has
said.
All people must judge themselves based on what they do,
or don't do, according to God's word.
Each person will stand before God some day.
Be assured that the Bible says there is no sin of any kind
allowed in heaven, for it is a perfect and holy place.
It is stated in both the Old and New Testaments that
homosexuality is a sin.
If people are going to say they are truly believers in the
Bible, then they Would seek God's help and forgiveness of
any sin in their lives, and Jesus would forgive that sin.
It's really that simple

Teacher's pay

I have a rant about teachers saying that they are grossly
Underpaid.
I just read where the average teacher's pay is $43,500.
That does not seem bad for working nine months a year,
and having early dismissals every otherWednesday.


Also, getting off work everyday around 3:30 p.m. doesn't
seem too bad. It actually sounds great.
Add this to all of the sick days they get, and the health and
welfare benefits they receive, and I don't see how they can
talk about being underpaid.
As far as the administrator's pay, you don't hear any crying
from them.
It is quite obvious why.
Some of them average over $110,000 a year. That does not
include all their benefits.
School principals also get $80,060 to $85,000 a year for
elementary to middle school. The high school principals get
over $100,000 a year.
I like the rant that was place.earlier about the employees
behind the scene being underpaid.
Those include the bus drivers, the maintenance workers,
and cafeteria workers.
They are the ones that deserve much better wages,
because they are underpaid.
Let's work on getting all A schools, like Martin County has,
and then we can talk about getting raises for our teachers.

Beautiful column

I would like to let you know how beautiful I find the astrol-
ogy and the spiritual column in Hometown News.
The guy that does this wonderful.
In 2005, when I first began reading his column, my mom
and I were in an accident. Reading this spiritual column
was so beautiful. It really lifted up our spirits and hearts.
My mother lives in Daytona and looks forward to reading
the column every week.
I live ip Miami, so I don't get the paper.
I call my mom every Friday, and she reads it to me.
I love it. It is so beautiful.

No mask or blanket for me

This is in response to the rant about fat people.
I would like to say that this fat person refuses to put on a
blanket and a mask when I go to the beach.
I would, however, be happy to poke out the eyes of this
awful, disgusting person so that he does not have to be
bothered seeing me.
His outward appearance must be beautiful, but his inside
is ugly.
His soul is dark.
I feel sorry for him.

Get a heart

Regarding the rant about fat people, I have read and seen
a lot, but I feel I need to comment on this.
The party who came here 20 years ago from Connecticut
takes the prize.
We came down here many years ago, too.
You know what we liked about it? Everyone was so friend-
ly, and no one gave a darn about how you were dressed at
the beach.
They still don't, except for Connecticut.
I don't care what the ranter looks like, or how he attained
the look.
He may thing he looks good on the outside, but he has
plenty to correct on the inside.
I applaud all those people who go to the beach wearing
whatever.
It's their time to enjoy.
It takes a lot for a mother to gather her children to take
them to the beach, not to mention watching them while
they are there.
So you want those folks to put on a blanket and a mask,
eh?
Let me tell you something. Get a heart, and put away all
of your mirrors.
You are the disgusting one.
Do us all a favor and stay home and read a book until you
can be a softer and nicer person.


Press one for English

It doesn't stop at the telephone.
On the radio the DJs were speaking about the weather
conditions, and mentioned the water on the west coast of
Florida.
It was referred to the golf, not the Gulf, of Mexico.
Later on in the day, on the television, a vocational school
was made reference to as the curinari institute.
How can they train chefs when they can't even pronounce
the word culinary?
So much for articulation, and clever conversationalists in
the English language.

'War on terror' not making us safer

Can someone please explain to me how we can still justify
our administration's current policy on the "war on terror"
when (its) own hired gun, Gen. (David) Petraeus, can't even
submit, when questioned by the Senate, that our current
strategy is infact making the country safer?
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that the entire purpose,
or at least the current rhetoric that the Republicans are
pushing?

Union strikers should be
thankful they have jobs

Those (union) guys sitting on their butts in the shade (on
strike) must have some reality issues.
What are they thinking? With people's lives at stake
depending on their jobs, and with the entire space industry
going into hibernation in a couple of years, (they are) strik-
ing for more "future" benefits?
They are lucky to have jobs at all and should be damn
proud to be working.
Luckily, it's not up to me as to who gets laid off first when
the time comes. If I was doing their job plus my own while
they wave the flag at traffic all day wanting more for less,
they would be at the top of my list to go out the door first,
and be the last to be asked back.
No wonder nothing is made in America anymore and our
automobiles are the worst instead of the best value in the
world. This (is) from the people who brought you (the
phrase), "That's not my job."

Older drivers just as 'scary' on the roads

I always read Rants & Raves it gives me a great opportu-
nity to have a good laugh again and again.
My response today is in regard to a recent post regarding
fast drivers. In it, the author suggests that our youth (is)
"mostly" to blame for speeding.
I would have to differ.
Luckily for me, I am able to work from home in the semi-
retirement community of Suntree. As I look out my windows
while working during the day, when youths are generally in
school mind you, there are many of our older folks (who)
have no clue as to how fast they are driving down the streets.
I have tried to flag a few down when I'm outside and most
of the time they don't see me, slow down or care, which is a
scary thought.
Overall, I don't want to start a huge battle over this and I
love being here with my family, but youths are not the bulk
of the problem during the day when my little ones are out-
side playing.

'We the people' must be united in a cause

"We the people" the first three words are tall and strong,
letting us know that we the people have the power to change
things.
Those words were not only meant for the people then, but
also for the people now.

Riverside Bank celebrates a


quarter century of success


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Riverside Bank recently
celebrated 25 successful
years of providing neighbors
and local businesses with a
hometown style of banking.
Riverside opened its
doors on Sept. 13, 1982, the
result of a vision that Vernon
D. Smith, Riverside Bank's
Chief Executive Officer and
founder had.'
"A locally owned bank
would be able to offer more
personalized business, and
that's what we did," said Mr.
Smith.
Riverside Bank continues
that philosophy today, offer-
ing hometown banking to
people and businesses in 43
hometowns across Florida.
The Bank's first branch


was a modular trailer situat-
ed at 2211 Okeechobee
Road, in Fort Pierce, where a
two-story branch stands
today.
"The greater Fort Pierce
area was growing and I saw
the need for a customer-
focused bank; a bank that
could provide service by
local people to the local resi-
dents and businesses," said
Mr. Smith.
The Bank began with ten
employees. Today it
employs over 1,000 people,
including five of the original
ten.
From its humble begin-
nings of one modest branch
in Fort Pierce a quarter cen-
tury ago, the Bank now owns
65 branch locations
stretched across ten Florida
counties. Two more branch-

Senate investigates



Florida car dealer fees


Just learned last week
that Florida State Sen.
Ken Pruitt, R-Dist. 28,
has called for an investiga-
tion of the propriety of fees
charged by dealers to car
buyers that are not federal,
state or local fees.
If you are interested in
viewing the information
posted on the official state
Web site on this subject,
visit the Web site www.flsen-
ate.gov/Publications/2008/
Senate/reports/Workpro-
gram/pdf/workprogram.pdf
and then click on "com-
merce" on the left side of
the page.
I salute Ken Pruitt for this
effort.
Sen. Pruitt, as you
probably know, is the
president of the Florida
Senate, a very powerful
position. You should feel
very pleased that our state
government has taken the
first step toward making the
dealer fee illegal in Florida
as it is in several other
states.
If you are a reader of my
weekly column in Home-
town News, a reader of my
blog, www.earlstewarton-
cars.com or a listener to my
weekly radio show (9 a.m.
every Saturday on Seaview
AM 960), you already know
all about dealer fees.
If not, dealer fees are
profit for the car dealer
disguised as an official fee.
The disguise consists of
naming this profit docu-
mentary fee, doc fee, dealer
prep fee, pre-delivery fee,
dealer fee, etc. Some dealers
use a combination.
These fees vary from as
little as $500 to nearly
$1,000. In fact, there is no
legal limit on the amount of
these fees. Theoretically a
dealer could charge $10,000
or more.
Florida law currently has
some regulation on dealer
fees.
The amount of the fee
must be printed on the
buyer's order, next to the
real fees, such as sales tax
and licenses. Next to the
dealer fee must be printed,
"these charges represent
costs and profit to dealer."
This' statement is mis-
leading because it says costs
and profits.
Obviously, when the
dealer charges you money
to cover some of his expens-
es, you are increasing his
profits. The statement
should be, "these charges
represent profit for the
dealer," period.
You know how many
pieces of paper are involved
in buying a car; lots and
lots. A car buyer cannot
possibly read every docu-
ment he signs (unless he is a
retired lawyer with nothing
but time on his hands).
In my experience, most
buyers are not even aware
that they paid a.dealer fee. It
is buried in the morass of
legitimate local, state and

federal fees.
Another element of
Florida law is that the dealer
fee must be included in the
price of a specific advertised
car. This law is simply being
ignored by many car
dealers. If you doubt this,
just pick up a copy of any
local Florida newspaper and
read the fine print in the car
ads.
In my local paper, The
Palm Beach Post, about half
the ads do not include the
dealer fee in the price. But,
even if it is included, it's still
a "gotcha."
That's because dealers
will advertise just one or
maybe two cars at that
price. That number that you
see next to the picture of the
car is the stock number of
one particular vehicle. You
have two chances of buying
that particular car: slim and
none:
In the first place, there's
only one or two of these
cars, and in the second
place, the salesman is
typically paid no commis-
Ssion for selling this car. How
can you believe him when
he says, "That car has been
sold?" If you don't believe
him what is there you can
do about it? The salesman
will tell you that he can
show you one exactly like it.
The only problem now is
that the dealer can legally
add the dealer fee to the
advertised price you are
expecting because it was
not the advertised car. Of
course, that's the whole idea
behind the ad.
Another Florida law
Associated with dealer fees
is that the dealer must
charge every customer the
dealer fee if he charges just
one customer. This is a
really stupid law that


probably was well intended
when it was passed.
It's stupid because it
provides the dealer with an
excuse when the occasional
astute car buyer spots the
fact that the dealer fee is
really only more profit for
the dealer and not an
official fee.
The salesman tells the
objecting customer, "I'm
sorry but Florida law
prohibits us from removing
the dealer fee from our
invoice." This is only
technically true, because
the salesman can always
decrease the price of the car
by the amount of the dealer
fee, which is perfectly legal.
This almost never hap-
pens because salesmen are
not paid on the profit the
dealer realizes from the
dealer fee. They typically
earn 25 percent of the profit
on the car. If the salesman
reduces the price of the car
by the amount of the dealer
fee, 25 percent of that
amount comes out of his
pocket.
Now, I have a confession
to make. I know of only one
other dealer in South
Florida that doesn't charge a
dealer fee. Sawgrass Ford.
Since I stopped charging a
dealer fee several years ago
my business has soared. I'm
making less on each car, but
I'm selling a lot more cars. I
have a huge competitive
advantage over virtually
every car dealer in Florida.
My confession is this. I
truly have mixed emotions
(like seeing your mother-in-
law drive your new Lexus Ls
460 over a cliff) about Ken
Pruitt and his Senate
Committee succeeding in
making dealer fees illegal.
On the one hand, I know
it's the right thing to do
because the dealer fee is a
deceptive sales practice. On
the other hand, banning the
dealer fee removes a great
competitive advantage.

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

It is hard to believe that
another flu season is
upon us, yet here it is
again.
Influenza is a serious
disease and you should take
it seriously.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention, flu causes more
than 36,000 deaths a year,
mostly among the elderly.
The flu season runs from
November to April. Begin-
ning in September or
October, flu shots should be
available to people at high
risk. The best time to get
vaccinated is in October and
November, because it takes
about two weeks for your
body to begin to produce
antibodies to fight the flu.
However, even if you don't
get a vaccine until later in
the season, you can still
benefit froni it, as Florida
typically has a flu season
that begins later than the
seasons in some other states.
SThis year, many physi-
cians will not have the
vaccine. Contact the Visiting
Nurses Association and
check with local stores that
often have flu clinics.

Preventing the flu
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention, the single best
way to prevent the flu is to
get a flu vaccine, but after
last season, we learned that

is not always possible.
There are three antiviral
medications approved for flu
prevention and early
treatment, but they are only
available by prescription.
Consult your physician to
see if they are appropriate
for you. They must be
started within two days of
the illness' onset, so seek
medical care early on if you
think you have the flu.
Good health habits may
also help prevent the spread
of the flu.
These include:
Covering your nose and
mouth with a tissue when
you cough or sneeze, and
discarding the tissue after
use.
Washing your hands
often with soap and water,
especially after you cough or
sneeze. If you are not near
water, use an alcohol-based
hand cleaner, sold in many

10-15 seconds, rinse well,
and dry.
Stay away from people
who are sick whenever
possible.
If you get the flu, stay
home from work or school.
STry not to touch your
eyes, nose or mouth. Germs
are often spread this way.

The flu shot
The flu shot is an inacti-
vated vaccine containing
killed virus. It is approved for
use for those older than 6
months of age.
The nasal-spray flu
vaccine contains weakened
virus and is given by a nasal
sprayer. It has only been
approved for use in those
ages 5-49. Both vaccines
cause antibodies to develop
in the body and the antibod-
ies protect against the
influenza virus.
Kevin Gate, spokesman for
the Florida Department of
Health, urges people to plan
ahead, practice good
hygiene and be considerate
of others.
"All throughout the year,
but especially during the flu
season, we encourage all
Floridians, both adults and
children, to maintain proper
hygiene and health habits.
Washing one's hands on a
regular basis is the founda-
tion of keeping germs out of
the body. Keep your hands
away from your mouth, nose
and eyes in order to ensure
that you're not placing those
germs on your face.
"If you must sneeze or
cough, do so into your arm
or a tissue so that you don't
transfer germs to your
hands. Stay home if you're
not feeling well. You won't be'
able to work to your full
potential and you run the
risk of making others sick, as
well," he said.
The following groups are
considered at high risk by
the CDC and should get
vaccinated before the end of
October.
People, ages 65 and
older, with chronic medical
conditions.
Residents of long-term
care facilities.
People, ages 2-64 years
old, with chronic medical
conditions.
Pregnant women.
Health care workers who
provide direct patient care.
People living with a
person in a high-risk group,
or caregivers who go to the
homes of high-risk individu-
als.
Children, ages 6-23
months and caregivers of
newborns, because children
under 24 months are at high
risk for complications.
Getting a flu shot is one of
the best things you can do to
safeguard your health and
Sthe health of at-risk family
members. If you get.the flu,
at the very least you're in for
a miserable time. For young
children, the elderly and
those with chronic illnesses,
the risk of complications is
high.
Speak to your health care
provider, and if it's indicated,
get yourself and your family
protected.

Learn how to create, live beautiful life


To live a positive,
beautiful, spiritual-
based life, in touch
with our natural gifts and
talents should be our No. 1
priority in life.
In order to do this, we
have to surrender the lower
will or ego, begin to go
inside, get in touch with our
higher will, surrender to it
and ask it to work for us and
through us.
No matter by what name
you call this higher power, it
is the light within and once
found becomes our greatest
friend.
Do you have a personal
relationship with the spirit
within?
I have recently been
conducting classes on
meditation and spirituality
and have been asking this
question of the students. To
my surprise, fewer than half
have responded with a
positive answer. Getting
acquainted with this inner
light and wisdom and
making a friend of it could
be the most important thing
you ever do on your path of
spiritual and universal
growth.
The basic nature of living
a spiritual life comes when
we choose to live in light,
love, peace, health, abun-
dance, faith, creativity and
joy. This is a beautiful life.
The lack of these qualities
are darkness, war, hate,
disease, poverty, fear, no
purpose and sadness.
Who would ever want to
live with these limitations?
Yet, when we live by the
lower will and think we have
to control everything in life


JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide

without calling upon and
asking the universe to help
us, we eventually get
stressed or burned out and
then lost, stuck or side-
tracked.
Have you ever been there?
There is a far greater way to
live. Here is how it works.
Truly successful people
and happy people start out
each day by doing morning
devotions. They pray, do
affirmations, meditate, read
an inspirational story or
commune with nature in
some way. This psyches
them up, centers and
focuses their energy and
starts the engine of the
heart and spirit.
Next, they eat a healthy
breakfast to fill up the
physical gas tank. Then they
tackle the most important
things first instead of
ignoring them. People who
live in the lower will and ego
and don't do these prepara-
tions first. They let fear,
dread or procrastination
take over and they become
powerless over life.
Why? Because they have


no roots in spirit and have
not yet formed a personal
relationship to the higher
power and asked it to work
for them. An ancient saying
is "ask and you shall
receive."
Most of us have been
taught that it is more
blessed to give than receive.
We just don't know how to
ask. Some of it could be
because of pride, maybe
fear of rejection or feelings
of lack of self worth.
I challenge you. Start your
day with devotion and a
personal relationship with
spirit and it will start your
engine and make your day a
whole lot happier, easier
and productive.
You can do it. It's been in
you since birth waiting to
be set free. When you find it
and more success, take care
of your own and family
needs first. Then give back
to those who inspired and
encouraged you on your
path. Keep your spiritual
family going. Next, teach
others who see your light
and want to know how you
do all these great things.
Pass the torch of freedom to
the next generation. You
have now created and are
living a beautiful life. the
sweetest news is the best is
yet to come.

Having a leaking sunroof in your
vehicle is enough of a nuisance to
pose a safety hazard. This kind
of problem should be addressed
right away. In most cases, a
clogged sunroof drain is directly
responsible for the steady stream
of water entering the cabin. If the
hose that runs from the sunroof's
drainage trough down:through
the windshield pillars is: plugged
or kinked, water will overflow the
trough. In some cases, the auto
technician can.remove a blockage
with a blast of compressed air.
If not, running a "snake" down
the hose may dislodge any
Problematic .matter. If the track
is lost at the upper end of the
original hose, replacement may
involve removing the -ieajlliner

Typical afternoon on cruise offers many choices to travelers


Editor's note: This is the
second part of a three-part
article describing a typical
day at sea on an ocean

typical morning at sea on
an ocean cruise ship.
It's time to talk about
lunch and beyond.
If you're anything like
the "normal" cruiser, you
can't miss this important
event aboard a cruise liner.
So, you go scouting for
chow.
As I wrote previously,
you have options: The
buffet restaurant, topside
and poolside. You've got
room service, which
doesn't have a full lunch
menu and is limited to a
couple of sandwiches and
snacks, and the main
dining room with open
seating, which I prefer.
I should mention that
some cruisers prefer to

wait staff. All bar bever-
ages cost extra, including
bottled water, and a 15
percent gratuity is added
to your bill.
By the way, any purchas-
es you make aboard ship
are paid with a "sea" card,
which you are given at
check-in time. At any time,
you can verify your
expenditures (onboard
account) by asking at the
ship's reception desk or
using the in-room TV
facility for checking the
account. The on-board
account usually closes at
around midnight the last
night of the cruise. Very
early the morning you
dock at the home port,
your receipt is slid under
the door of your cabin. If
the charges are correct you
have nothing to do. They'll
be credited to the credit
card that you provided at
check-in time. Paying for
your on-board account
with cash depends on the
cruise line and ship on
which you are traveling.
For afternoon activities,
I again I refer to the daily
program sheet, which I
always try to carry with me

so I know what's going on,
where and when.
In general, afternoon
activities are much like
those in the morning, with
one notable change.
Afternoon tea and desserts
are served in the buffet
restaurant around 4:30
p.m.
Self -service ice cream is
available almost 24-hours
a day. Specialty coffees
and desserts are available,
at an extra charge, from
early morning until late in
the evening. The cafe area
is usually indoors in a
nice, comfortable part of a
main deck. Often, there's a
piano player or some other
musical entertainment
available at certain times.
Even if you don't buy any
coffee or cake it's a nice
place to sit back, relax and
people watch, if you are so
inclined. I'm sure that
many of you would be
attracted to the Ben &
Jerry's kiosk where you can
enjoy a portion of their
delectable ice cream (at an
additional cost)..
Often, I resort to a nap in
the late afternoon in order
to fortify myself for the


evenings' activities. If you
haven't already found this
out in the morning, you'll
find the shower a bit on
the cozy side. Some folks
use the technique of
soaping down the walls
and then rotating their
bodies to soap down
efficiently (said with
tongue in cheek). I'm
small, so I have no prob-
lem in the shower.
Many folks get "dressed
up" for dinner, while others
dress casually. I'm in the
latter group and feel more.
comfortable in a collared
shirt, slacks and on formal
nights, a sports coat. I
usually take no ties with me.
I'll be talking about a
typical evening at sea on an
ocean cruise, in the third
and last part of three
narratives describing one
typical day on an ocean
cruise.
Look for part three in
about three weeks.

From page A9
electric meter actually runs backwards as you are selling the
electricity back to the electric company.
A tax break along with this life-long savings would be
wonderful incentives to make a green choice.
Electric cars have already improved to the point that one
would be my choice for a second car no, make that my
first car. My gasoline car would sit in the garage as a backup
only.
I prefer to pay 3 cents a mile to 20 cents a mile. I could
drive free if I had enough solar cells.
Companies that manufacture, sell or service exclusively
electric cars or bikes should be given a tremendous tax
advantage.
The improved electric car has become a viable solution
to a multi-faceted, dire problem: Pollution, Illegal price
gouging and price fixing by the oil companies, foreign
dependence on oil and sacrificing young lives in wars for
oil.
Florida should give tax breaks to the homeowners who
think green.
Some homeowner associations have rules to prevent
hanging clothes outside. Perhaps clotheslines should be
restricted to the back yard, bu t it should be illegal to dis-
courage it entirely.
Everybody should be encouraged to build a safer more
energy efficient home.

ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Serves four or more
Regular or low-fat
When you use "fresh


ground" beef, meatballs
can be low fat.
My recipe was handed
down to my mother. A
combination of ground
beef, pork and veal can be
used, but we preferred
them with beef. I can
remember as a teenager
being told, "There are seven
ingredients in the recipe
plus the meat."

fingers: salt, pepper, egg,
garlic, cheese, parsley and
bread.
If you use regular ground
chuck or beef, which
contains a fair amount of
fat, the seven ingredients
still hold true. When using
fresh, virtually fat-free
ground beef an eighth
ingredient must be added
to keep the meatballs from
going flat, and that is
bread- crumbs.
Note: Using fiesh ground
beefAdd 1 tablespoon
extra virgin olive oil per
pound.

1 pound fresh ground
"fat-free" beef
2 large eggs, equivalent
egg substitute or 3 egg
whites
4 slices white bread or
equivalent of Italian
bread
2 medium cloves garlic,
chopped
1 tablespoon plain
breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black
pepper
5 or 6 sprigs fresh Italian
parsley, chopped or 1
tablespoon dried
1 handful grated Romano
cheese

Soak bread in water,
squeeze dry. If using Italian
bread (preferred), remove
as much crust as possible.
Place all ingredients in a
bowl; mix with your hands.
Shape into balls a little
larger than a golf ball. Place
on a cookie sheet that has
been treated with cooking
spray. Bake at 350 degrees
for about 30 minutes.
Meatballs should be
cooked in the spaghetti
sauce for 30 minutes. Over
cooking will make them fall
apart.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE
FOR SPAGHETTI
SAUCE

To reduce the fat, cut
sausage into 3 or 4 inch
pieces. Prick all over with a
fork and bake on racks in a
cookie sheet at 350 degrees
for about 30 minutes. Add
to spaghetti sauce and cook
for 30 minutes.
Hint: If you use both
sweet and hot sausages,
place a toothpick in the hot
sausage to avoid unwel-
come surprises.

Publix.


Courtesy of City of Stuart New Development department
The site plan for a proposed Publix shopping center at the northeast corner of U.S. I and
Baker Road shows an entrance from northbound U.S. 1, but no return exit. Martin Coun-
ty officials and Florida Department of Transportation traffic engineers deemed the exit
too close to the intersection. Stuart City Commissioners rejected this design, calling for an
internal frontage road to lead traffic to a northbound exit behind a row of shops.


Publix
From page Al


Stuart, said FDOT required
the shopping center's north-
bound exit to be at least 300
feet north of the U.S.
1/Baker Road intersection,
and it was 20 feet beyond
that in the original site plan.
That wasn't enough, he said
for county officials, who
wanted it farther from the
intersection to avoid con-
gestion at the Baker Road
traffic light.
With the new plan, shop-
pers will be able to enter
from northbound U.S. 1 but
not able to exit at the same
location. Instead, they'd
have to drive a circuitous
route around a series of
shops or exit on Baker Road.
Commissioners said the
new design now would
complicate traffic flow in the
parking lot.
"The county wanted to
work together, but this does-
n't make sense," Mayor
Mary Hutchinson said.
"Who's running this show?"
Commissioner Carol
Waxler was also frustrated.
"I am not happy with not
having a northbound exit
only, and I want to know why
this is the first time that this
board has seen this in this
configuration," she said.
Commissioner James
Christie Jr. said it appeared
that traffic would now be
worse, rather than better.
"My issue is the traffic that
is going to impact U.S 1 and
Baker Road, and I feel that
the way this was before with
both the entrance and exit
on U.S. 1 was better," he
said." I don't think this is

Week
From page A3
Both Florida senators Mel
Martinez and Bill Nelson
supported the measure,
which includes $1.8 billion
for Everglades restoration
and $1.8 billion for the Indi-
an River Lagoon.
The bill now goes to Presi-
dent Bush, who has threat-
ened to veto it due to its $20
billion price tag. Lawmakers
in both the Senate and the
House believe they have
enough votes to override his
veto if need be.
Many critics claim the
legislation is loaded down
with pork-barrel projects,
such as beach renourish-
ment projects in California,
Florida, New Jersey and
South Carolina that will
siphon resources from more
serious environmental con-
cerns.
Even so, Martin County
officials are hoping the bill
will make it into law so the
restoration of .the Indian
River Lagoon can proceed.
The county has already
raised some $50 million
through a penny sales tax
dedicated to the project.

Gary to co-chair
Clinton campaign
Prominent Stuart attorney
Willie Gary has been named
a co-chair for the national
presidential campaign of
New York Sen. Hillary Clin-
ton.
Sen. Clinton stated in a
campaign press release that
Mr. Gary has a "passionate
work ethic" and will work
tirelessly on my behalf." In.
the same press release, Mr.
Gary referred to the senator
as a "champion of civil
rights whose outstanding
leadership is what our
county needs in a presi-
dent."


going to improve it at all."
Commissioner Michael
Mortell said the city's hands
were tied.
"We can't overrule FDOIT,"
he said. "We can't make a
right out if FDOT says you
can't make a right out. We're
going to get blamed for the
terrible traffic design."
The commissioners agreed
that most motorists tend to
exit from the same spot
where they enter a shopping
center, and so began study-
ing the site plan to try and
find a workable solution.
Commissioner Waxier sug-
gested reducing the number
of parking spaces.
"Publix would never go for
it," responded Herb Green,
the project engineer for the
developer:
Commissioner Mortell
suggested removing a
planned ornamental foun-
tain along the front of the
center and designing a
frontage road to guide traffic
towards the other north-,
bound exit.
"The city asked for an
architectural feature to tie
into the building and the
fountain was the result," Mr.
Green said.
"I don't care if they have to
build a tunnel under the
fountain, but I want that to
be a straight exit there," Mr.
Mortell responded.
Commissioner Waxier
claimed the center looked
overbuilt and suggested the
developer drop plans for a
planned bank on the site in


the future. '
"What bothers me about
this is that it's the maximiza-
tion of every square foot of
this piece of land," she said.
It just looks overbuilt. Let's
get rid of the bank and have
some more green space."
Most commissioners said
that the new Publix would
eventually help to reduce
traffic on southbound U.S. 1
since North River Shores res-
idents would no longer have
to cross the Roosevelt Bridge
to find the downtown loca-
tion. Area resident Sandra
Hawkins, however, disputed
that, saying that several new
developments along the
same stretch of U.S 1 were
going to make traffic conges-
tion worse.
"I won't be shopping at
that Publix," she said. "I need
to turn left to get to the Pub-
lix (there's no traffic light
near her street). Traffic will
be stacked up. I am not going
to be able to get to that Pub-
lix, and neither will my
neighbors."
Commissioners voted 3-2
to approve the develop-
ment's master final site plan
but only on the condition
that the fountain be recon-
figured and a planned bank
site require future commis-
sion approval.
Both Mayor Hutchinson
and Commissioner
Krauskopf dissented,
expressing environmental
and green space concerns.

Bertie Higgins and

his Band of Pirau-ts

roll into the Lyric


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer

Singer/songwriter
Bertie Higgins is a roman-
tic storyteller, as befits a
direct descendant of the
German poet, Goethe,
who told the story of
Faust, the man who sells
his soul to the devil.
The composer of the hit
song "Key Largo," a song
he wrote to lure a girl-
friend back, brings his
Band of Pirates to the Lyric
Theatre on Oct. 13. In a
telephone interview, he
talked about his career
and the song that made
him famous.
Elbert Joseph Higgins
was born in Bayport, Fla.,
a sleepy town at the mouth
of the Weeki Watchee
River.
A childhood spent in a
town "lost in time" infuses
both his work and his pas-
sion for preserving endan-
gered wildlife, especially
endangered sea birds.
The drummer, who
graduated from Tarpon
Springs High School, left
college, to become the
drummer for Tommy Roe
and his band, The Roe-
mans.
When he tired of being


on the road, he retuned
home, picked up a guitar,
and began songwriting.
That led him to Atlanta,
where he worked on a
song about living in an old
Humphrey Bogart movie.
"Songwriters normally
draw from what's going
on," he said.
"After going out for a
long time, (my girlfriend)
and I split up. I figured this
was the only way I could
change it around. I wrote
"Key Largo;" we were both
old movie buffs. We used
to curl up and watch
Bogey and Bacall. The
song brought her back. It
was an amazing time.
Coming back from living
in debt to having a No. 1
song is an amazing turn-
around. It took me time to
adjust. We got married
and had two boys togeth-
er, and although we've
been separated for a long
time, we're still married."
After taking time off to
raise his family, which
grew to include another
son and a daughter, Mr.
Higgins formed his Band
of Pirates some 15 years
ago.
They play Las Vegas a lot
and have spent time in
Branson, Mo., which he

Aries-March 21-April 19
You were born with a strong mind, a wonderful
heart and a great spirit. You are a role model and
the leader of the zodiac pack. You are a loyal
friend, a great parent and a trusted associate. You
always have a kind word for others with a need.
May the universe always reward you for all you are
and all you do.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
You are much happier when you get things done
in an orderly manner. The key is to not take on too
many jobs at once. Take care of priorities and
spread the rest out a little. You don't have to do
everything at once. When you tire, step back, catch
a second wind and finish one project strongly.
There is more left to do, you know.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Move away from feeling like you are just surviving.
The new changes are good. Stay focused, cen-

describes as an "interest-
ing town" that may not
know what to make of
him.
"When the Pirates come
there, its like, 'Damn, what
was that, Margaret,'" he
said.
"I'm a pirate at heart. We
come out as a cross
between Jimmy Buffett
and the Beach Boys. If you
come to the show, we
promise a rollicking good
time. It's our sincere pres-
entation of what I've writ-
ten from my heart. They
will understand what I'm
all about as an artist.


Ninety percent of it is
Bertie Higgins songs and
three are cover songs in
my own style. I'm a song
man. I don't care if it's folk
or opera or redneck or
hard rock. I thought Jimi
Hendrix was brilliant. I
like John Mayer and Toby
Keith has a great edge
going. The song is what I
go for."

your own worth and presence. When you are
happy, others around you are happy. You are
looked up to, you know.
Cancer-June 22-July 22
Sometimes less is more. When you feel over-
loaded, stop, take a walk around the block and
clear your mind. This allows you time to regroup
and move forward. You don't stay down long. Your
greatest strength is that you finish what you start.
No one is more loyal and dependable. Thanks for
always being there.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
The moon in Leo gives you an emotional edge.
Throw yourself into that pet project you have been
wanting to tackle. Now is the perfect time to get it
started. This extra energy opens the heart, sharp-
ens the mind and brings you to action. Move it for-
ward and you will be well pleased with the results.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept 22
If it isn't any fun and your heart isn't in it, don't do
it. Let this be your "action gauge." You will stay
focused if you use this idea. You don't have to be
all things to all people. Conserve your time, energy
and resources. Say "no" when your heart isn't in it.
This focus will carry you forward toward your goals
and dreams quicker than any other,

Libra-Sept 23-Oct.22
You continue to be a light for others searching for
universal and spiritual growth. Life is an adventure
for you. More is on the way. Your strong conscience
continues to guide you and gives you good judg-
ment when making decisions. If takes inner
strength to be a leader. You were born to do it.


Wednesday


Scorpio-Od 23-Nov.21
Your personal growth and understanding continue
to unfold. You make it look so easy. If only we
knew how much time you spend inside before you
reveal the outer truth. Dp you ever sleep? An extra
hour or two would be very helpful. Mercury in
Scorpio gives you extra clarity. You are fearless and
highly capable. What a great blessing.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec.21
Your good hearted nature and positive attitude are
uplifting to those around you. You have "high spir-
it." You give others hope and courage. Your energy
is strong with the boost from Jupiter. You have
come so far this year. You will continue to uncover
life's deeper mysteries. The master key is to listen
to and trust your very first impressions.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Act decisively on your goals and plans and success
is assured. You have the inner radar that tells you
when to act and when to wait. You were born
with this great gift. Keep a steady pace. Keep
redefining your major purpose and take it across
the finish line. It doesn't matter where you finish.
It's if you finish that is most important.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Remove any limitation or judgment you have
placed on yourself and continue to move forward
toward new heights of accomplishment. You can
do it. It is time to honor yourself for all you have
done this year. Let the autumn be a time of
reward for all the effort and a time to begin plan-

SBest of New England can be


found at Hobies in Hobe Sound


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
HOBE SOUND -The cold
waters off the upper East
Coast of the United States are
known to produce some of
the most delectable seafood
on the planet.
Though Martin County is
quite a hike from Cape Cod,
now you can enjoy some of
the sweetest freshest clams,
authentic lobster bisque,
Maine lobster rolls and
much more at Hobies in
Hobe Sound.
Owner and chef Kevin
Stancheck orders fresh
Maine lobster and Ipswich
whole belly clams at least
twice a week from Massa-
chusetts in order to recreate
the typical dishes served in
the fishing villages of New
England.
Since opening the restau-
rant in January 2007, Mr.
Stancheck has won regular
patrons among the New
Englanders who now call the
area home.
You'll also become a fan
once you savor his clam
chowder or creamy and
tangy lobster bisque, both of
which may provide you with
fond memories of those
frigid winter days (or remind


you of how much you don't
miss them!).
The fried Ipswich clam
and Maine lobster rolls are
definitely two specialties not
often seen on local menus.
For the uninitiated, these are
sandwiches served on New
England-style hotdog buns,
served with a side of French
fries, coleslaw or potato
salad. The Maine lobster roll,
a New England take on tuna
salad but made with lobster
instead, is served either hot
or cold. You can also opt for a
fried oyster po-boy, which
may just remind you of
another renowned seafood
spot, the city of New Orleans.
For those with a slightly
bigger appetite, Hobies
offers several seafood plat-
ters, including the fried fish
of the day, breaded oysters
and fried Ipswich clams. All
come with French fries,
onion rings and some of the
sweetest and creamiest
coleslaw you'll ever stick a
fork into.
On the day we visited, the
fresh fish choices were tuna,
mahi-mahi and grouper. I
went with the latter, a deli-
cately sweet and tender fish
enveloped in a satisfying and
crunchy breading.
Mr. Stancheck also offers


special entrees not listed on
the regular menu, such as a
tuna steak burger seasoned
with sesame and wasabi and
a grouper Rueben sandwich.
He said that one particularly
special treat is the hog snap-
per, a sweet, white fish that's
only available seasonally.

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer

Port St. Lucie musician
Ari Mendes has a recording
studio in his house.
The producer, composer
and arranger has become a
promoter as well, working
with several area perform-
ers who have cut CDs at his
studio.
Country singer Warren
Silvers of Port St. Lucie, and
song stylist Jane Oster of
Palm City, who has a new
CD of Bossa Nova songs
arranged by the Brazilian-
born Mr. Mendes, have high
praise for recording facility
and for Mr. Mendes.
Mr. Silvers, who says that
Mr. Mendes' studio is as
good as any he's seen in
Nashville, has a story that is
,a country song come to life.
The singer-songwriter's
first wife took off several
years ago, leaving him to
raise his son, Aiden, who
has a form of muscular dys-
trophy and is confined to a
wheelchair. He had to turn
down'a record deal because
it would have involved leav-
ing his son while he toured.
"I was depressed, but I


knew I was doing the right
thing," he said. "I was
wanting to record an album
and looking on the Internet.
I called (Ari) first and found
out he lived three blocks
away. I could bring my son
over. I had no idea the stu-
dio was that good or that he
was that good a musician."
Things have turned
around for Mr. Silvers. He
married a woman with a lit-
tle girl and the couple has
just had a baby. His new CD,
"Cowboy State of Mind,"
has been well-received;
three of the songs are being
broadcast on Clear Channel
radio stations, including
local station WAVW, 92.7,
and locally he performs at
the West End Bar and Grill
in Port St. Lucie.
He has been concentrat-
ing on his songwriting, and
a number of his songs have
been picked up by Nashville
publishers who are pitching
them to country singers,


"I've decided I can
become a songwriter, but
now, if I get a deal, I can go
on tour. Everything is taking
off. God is blessing me for
the decisions I made," he
said.
Jane Oster met Ari
Mendes when he was per-
forming with his group,
Bossa Jazz.
He heard her sing and
discovered that her love for
the Brazilian Bossa Nova, a
combination of samba and
jazz, is as great as his own.
The Kansas City native is
riot sure why the Brazilian
style appeals to her so
much.
"I love the rhythm and
the incredibly beautiful
music," she said.
"Ari told me that he plays
Brazilian guitar and I told
him that I play a little guitar
and that we should jam
together. I went over to his

Hobies
From page B3
Ifyou're dining with some-
one who isn't a seafood fan or
just want a quick bite on the
way to or from the beach,
Hobies offers a variety of hot
sandwiches, ranging from a
chicken Caesar wrap to a
grilled tuna melt and freshly
made hamburgers. Mr.
Stancheck said he makes his
one-half pound burgers
from a fresh never frozen
- chuck and sirloin blend.
A Palm Beach Gardens res-
ident and regular Hobies
patron, Mike Bereck, was
dining with his family the
:same day as our visit and
said Hobies' hamburger was
:the "best he'd had in five
years."
Mr. Stancheck refers to the
laid-back ambiance of the
restaurant as "surfer-beach
casual," with surfboards on
the walls and a couple of love
seats in the corer for enjoy-
ing the live music on the
weekends. In addition to the
regular tables, there's a retro
diner-type bar on one end

for those dining solo.
A native of Manhattan. Mr.
Stancheck fell in love with
New England cuisine after
attending college in Boston
in the 1960s. After a stint
running a restaurant in New
Jersey and operating 24 hot-
dog carts in Manhattan's
Central Park, he decided to
permanently relocate to
Hobe Sound, where he previ-
ously operated a different
restaurant before opening
Hobies this year.
He recently added a new
tropical outdoor dining area,
which provides the perfect
spot for a romantic dinner
under the stars.
Hobies opens at 7:30 a.m.
daily for breakfast, serves
lunch until 2:30 p.m. during
the off season and is open for
dinner from November ,to
May.
The restaurant is located at
9216 S.E. Bridge Road in Hobe
Sound, just west of the rail-
.road tracks. For more infor-
mation, call 772-545-0845.

Martin County runs out of


time against Jupiter Christian


Tigers' fourth-
quarter really
falls short

BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer

STUART It was past 9
p.m. when the Martin Coun-
ty offense finally showed
signs of life Friday night.
Trouble is, the game was
already over two hours old.
After a sluggish three
quarters, the Tigers did what
the homecoming crowd
expected to see all night -
score virtually at will but
the rally fell short when
Martin County failed to get
off a game-tying field goal as
time expired and fell 34-31
to Jupiter Christian.
"We weren't moving the
football," head coach Chuck
Kenyon said. "We made a
few changes in the lineup
and we started to move the
football."
After completing just 2-
of-8 passing for 26 yards,
quarterback Ronnie Nelson
was replaced by Richard
Shiller. Ironically, Shiller
was the recipient of both of
those throws, but the senior
quickly established he
belonged behind center.
After Tia Harris atoned for
a fumble two plays earlier by
intercepting a Marshyl
Rothman pass, the Tigers'


offense went to work. After
two runs from the Eagles' 20
gained a total of six yards,
Shiller narrowly missed
completing a pass on third
down.
Facing fourth-and-four,
this time Shiller was right on
target, finding Jamar
Spencer in the back of the
end zone to cut the lead to
27-9. Eric Strack added the
extra point with 8:19 left in
the game.
However, the Tigers'
porous defense gave the
touchdown right back. After
a failed onsides kick gave
Jupiter Christian the ball at
the Martin County 45, Roth-
man engineered a seven-
play drive that culminated
in Austin Lewis' 5-yard
touchdown.
"Our defense didn't show
up tonight," Kenyon said.
"We were more out of posi-
tion than anything else."
After failing to find the
end zone for most the game,
Martin County (3-2) used
just two plays to get back
there again. Shiller hit tight
end Trey Swager for a 29-
yard reception and then
nailed Jordan Brown for a
30-yard strike to cut Jupiter's
lead to 34-17.
Needing the ball back
with just 4:30 left in the
game, Martin County
turned to Wayne Stapleton
who executed a perfect
onsides kick. The Tigers'

Brooks Fleming recovered
the ball and the suddenly
high-powered offense was
back in business.
Starting at the Jupiter
Christian 48, Swager hauled
in a Shiller pass for 23 yards.
After a rare incompletion,
Shiller bounced back with a
strike to Brown.to move the
ball to the Eagles' 2.
From there, Lyle Danken-
bring bulled his way in for a
touchdown to make it a 10-
point game.
On the ensuing kickoff,
Jupiter Christian (4-1) fum-
bled the onsides kick and
Martin County recovered it
at the Eagles' 46. On first'
down, Shiller found Gillie St.
Hill, who lateraled it back to
Dankenbring for a big gain.
Unfortunately, the offi-
cials mistakenly called it an
illegal forward pass, tem-
porarily stopping the Tigers'
momentum.
Not to be deterred, Shiller
went back to St. Hill, whose
13-yard reception gave Mar-
tin County a new set of
downs at the Eagles' 31.
Next, it was Swager's turn
and he didn't disappoint,
catching a Shiller pass for 11
more yards.
Four plays later, it
appeared Martin County's
magic had run out. After
two incompletions, the
Tigers' faced fourth-and-
four at the Eagles' 14-yard
line. Finding his receivers
suddenly covered, Shiller
took it himself, scampering
in untouched for the touch-
down.
Strack's extra point made
it 34-31 with 2:32 left in the
game.
The Tigers again lined up
for the onsides kick, but
Jupiter Christian came up
with the ball at its own 49.
Looking to run out the
clock, Jupiter Christian
turned to Lewis who had 131
yards rushing on the night.
However, Martin County
forced a three-and-out but
had to use its final two time-
outs.
A solid punt set the Tigers
all the way back to its own 30
with a'meager 44.5 seconds
on the clock. On first down,
Shiller's toss went off
Dankenbring's hands for an
incompletion. On the next
play, Shiller's pass was
tipped, but caught by St. Hill
for 22 yards.
Shiller quickly brought the
Tigers up to the line and
spiked the ball with just 27
ticks left in the game. He then
hit Dankenbring for eight
yards who promptly went out
of bounds, taking just eight
seconds off the clock.
On third-and-two,
Shiller's 'pass attempt to
Dankenbring went awry,
but Jupiter Christian was
called for pass interference.
When several Eagles' left the
sidelines to complain,
Jupiter Christian was hit
with a personal foul penalty,
moving the ball all the way
to the Eagles' 12 with 14.4
seconds left in the game.
However, a bad snap on
first down cost the Tigers
most of the clock, and
Strack never got to attempt
a makeable 29-yarder to
complete the comeback.
"We gave an awful lot
tonight," Kenyon said. "We
didn't take a lot.
"We were not executing
for three quarters. (In the
end,) we did exactly what we
needed to do when we
needed to do it.
"I wonder where it was
the other three quarters."
Despite the close call,
Jupiter- Christian head
coach Bill Powers was happy
to leave town with a victory.
"I'm so thankful we held
on," Powers said. "It's such a
big win for our program.
"We were prepared for
them. There's no way'we
didn't deserve that win."

I-


Have you ever won-
dered what it would
be like to be the first
to try a new club?
How would you like to not
only be one of the first to hit
a new club, but be one of
the chosen few to test a
club, providing feedback
along with your likes and
dislikes on a product yet to
hit the stores?
Your moment is here.
Stulz Golf Technologies, a
German golf shaft company
founded by Andreas Stulz,
with its U.S. headquarters in
Winter Park, is looking for
golfers of all ages, abilities
and gender to help out with
its latest product, the Stulz
Golf Driver.
The company is best
known for its innovative
Nano Arrow Tri-Edge shafts,
which is designed to


eliminate the common
cause of hooks and slices.
This shaft is specifically
designed for oversized
driver heads.
The large club heads
inspire golfers to swing with
confidence. However, most
golfers continue to hit many
toe or heel shots, resulting
in hooks and slices that
continually miss the fairway
and lose distance. Most of
the large club heads, such as
the 440cc to 460cc have a
center of gravity that is
positioned away from the
centerline of the slaft.
This puts additional stress
on the shaft causing:
twisting. Conventional
graphite shafts cannot
prevent this. The Nano
Arrow Tri-Edge design and
Nano construction provides
the strength and control to

three-edges to minimize
torque without sacrificing
feel. Hooks and slices are
greatly reduced. The shot
dispersion is considerably
narrower. Distance is
improved. The triangular
shape also transfers ideal
vibration to provide impact
feedback for the user. The
result is longer straighter
shots.
Doug Miller used the
Stulz Golf shaft to power his
way to the Super Senior
Division ReMax Long Drive
Championship last year.
Miller crushed drives well
beyond 345 yards in the
event to capture the crown.
Now Stulz Golf is mating
this innovative shaft with its
own specifically designed
* diver head. Best of all, the
company want us to do
testing for them.


Imagine having input on
how a club is designed,
built and marketed. This is
an opportunity normally
reserved for top touring
pros.
"We're looking for regular
golfers that are willing to
give us their thoughts and
impressions," said Gary
Diehl, director of sales for
the company. "The combi-
nation of a driver head,
specifically designed for our
shaft, should help players
gain 15 yards or more from,
the tees. And that's yards
down the fairway."
To volunteer, visit
www.stulzgolfcom or call
(407) 599-0356. You will be
asked a series of questions
so that the staff can proper-
ly fit you for the best loft
and shaft flex for your
swing. Your driver is then


shipped your way with
instructions and a ques-
tionnaire so that you can
give them feedback to learn
from the "real" golfing
public what their driver
does and does not do for
them.
It's a chance that not
many ever get. I cannot
think of another company
that has reached out to the
general golfing public and
asked us to test their new
product before it goes on
the store shelf.
Now if you'll excuse me, I
have some testing to do.

Little change in


TC Top 5 ratings


BY MATT DEWHURST
AND JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer
With five weeks gone in
the 2007 high school foot-
ball season, not much has
changed in our Treasure
Coast Top 5. Both Vero
Beach and South Fork had a
bye this week. But Centen-
nial lost and Martin County
lost. That means some
minor shuffling has to be
done. Centennial drops a
spot for the second week in
a row, while South Fork gets
lucky and moves into the 4
spot. Now the question is,
can the Bulldogs stay there?
1. Vero Beach (4-0) -Vero
Beach gave everyone in the
state a break this past week,
using the time off to prepare
for a key district contest
against Palm Beach Lakes.
Few can forget last year's
game where the Rams built
a 28-7 lead only to see the
Indians come back to tie it
at the end of regulation and
then win it on Max Feurer's
field goal in the fourth over-
time.
Vero Beach came away
with a 45-42 victory, the
biggest comeback in the
program's 80-year history.
This year, Lakes comes in
at 3-2, but 1-0 in district
play, and will be looking for
some payback for letting
last season's matchup slip
away.
2. Fort Pierce Westwood
(4-1) The Panthers totally
dominated Treasure Coast
in a 29-0 romp last week,
but ran into trouble with
penalties and some mis-
communication in the sec-
ond half. Head coach Kevin
McMahon continued to say
how lucky his team was to


come away with a win, but,
in reality, Treasure Coast
was lucky the score wasn't
worse.
3. Martin County (3-2) -
The Tigers stay in the third
spot, despite losing to
Jupiter Christian, 34-31.
With the two teams trailing
them either losing or being
idle, Martin County's posi-
tion is safe for now.
Had the Tigers shown up
against the Eagles for the
first three quarters, the
game would most likely
have had a different out-
come, as Martin County fell
behind 34-10 before scoring
four fourth-quarter touch-
downs.
This week, facing No. 2
Westwood, even playing for
the entire game might not
even be enough for the up
and down Tigers.
4. South Fork (2-2) South
Fork was idle and will look
to go over the .500 mark
against a tough 3-1 Atlantic
team in a key District 14-5A
showdown.
5. St. Lucie West Centen-
nial (2-3) Coach Jim
O'Neal likes to schedule
tough competition to test
his team's desire. However,
we don't think he was pre-
pared for the Eagles three
game slide. After two big
wins, Centennial has
dropped games to West-
wood, Bayside, and most
recently to Kathleen. Cen-
tennial returns home to face
Eau Gallie Oct. 5. Only time
will tell is they can also get
back on the winning track.
If you think we're wrong,
let us know! You can contact
Matt or John at macdon-
ald@hometownnewsol.com
or dewhurst@hometown-
newsol.com.

The "Right" R6sumn Gets Results

by Syndee Feuer, Career Tactics, LLC


Why is it important to think about
your resume when you have a "good"
job, the economy is healthy and you are
in a career you enjoy, located in a place
you love? Because, change is inevitable.
Whether you decide to make a change
or the company you are working for
decides to restructure its organization,
you must be ready, and the best time to
work on your r6sumd, make the neces-
sary updates and revisions is when you
are secure in your job not pressured by
the stress of a job search.
Updating your r6sumB during a time
of status quo provides the opportunity
to re-evaluate your skills and compe-
tencies without feeling pressured. More
importantly, it builds self-corfidence
and self-esteem as you realistically
assess your work experiences and what
you bring to the job market. This may be
the catalyst that pushes you to ask your-
self: "Is it time for a career change?"
Often we are limited in our perceptions
because we have been in the "same"
work environment too long. Our talents
may be taken for granted, and updating
your r6sum6 provides time to reflect on
all those accomplishments you have
achieved. Speaking of accomplish-
ments, have you included these in your

positions available.

resume?
A great rdsumd has a professional look
with the right punch, personality and
purpose. It showcases your career high-
lights and contains a concise summary
statement positioning you for the career
you are seeking. Your rdsume is your
very own sales brochure. It is the best
way to market your talents, skills and
core competencies. Writing (or re-writ-
ing) a resumd, provides you with the
opportunity to think about your career-
path, substantiate your self-worth, and
to reinforce what value you bring to the
organization.
Too often, resumes are the last thing
on an employee's mind especially when
there is no indication that their employ-
er is about make some significant
change to the employee base. Whether
you are still in the job you love or are
ready to move to another career, the
"right" resum6 is a must have!

A REVERSE.MORTGAGE GAN

SWEETEN YOUR RETIREMENT!

Are you at least 62 and own your own home? A reverse
mortgage might be right for you. Reverse Mortgages are not
credit based. Credit is not an issue. Can't come to us? I can
come to you. I have helped numerous seniors on the
Treasure Coast with this wonderful product since 2001.
There is no "hard sell" and you are under no obligation to
apply. Have an existing mortgage? You
may be able to pay it off and never have
to make another payment, and utilize
equity in your property. Would you like
to learn more? Give me a call and get
the facts.

Martin County
HOMETOWN NEWS


A look back at old Martin County


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer

Like the rest of southern Florida, Martin
County's original growth can be attributed
to the great land boom of the early 1920s.
Land speculators sold tracts of land to
Northerners and others sight-unseen.
But long before that and even before the
county was carved out of Palm Beach and
St. Lucie counties, a settlement known as
Potsdam was prospering on the banks of
the St. Lucie River. It was named after the
German hometown of two of the region's
earliest settlers, the brothers Otto and
Ernest Stypman.
However, the county's first settlers are
considered to be the Bessey brothers.
Hubert and Willis Bessey, were 26 and 23
respectively, when they arrived in Florida
from Ohio in 1882. Originally planning on
planting and growing citrus near Ormond,
they were lured farther south with tales of
successful pineapple plantations.
The brothers sailed down the Indian
River until reaching the St. Lucie, continu-
ing down the south fork until arriving at
the spot where they decided to plant their
pineapples. They built the area's first
wooden home on the site as well, which
has been known as Bessey Point ever
since. It lies just to the southwest of today's
modern Roosevelt Bridge.
Although on friendly terms with the
Stypman brothers who arrived shortly
thereafter, the Bessey brothers became
close friends with other nearby bachelors
who'd also arrived in the area, the Gardner
brothers on Hutchinson Island and
Homer Hine Stuart Jr. on the north side of
the St. Lucie River.
The Bessey brothers were some of the
area's first residents to cultivate pineapples
on a large scale. During the early years
when they had trouble getting their fruit to
market, Hubert began designing and
building sailboats to supplement their
income.
After Willis returned to Ohio in 1894,
Hubert decided to dedicate himself com-
pletely to boat design and moved to
Hutchinson Island. Soon he took over as
the reins as keeper of the Gilbert's Bar
House of Refuge, one of the numerous
havens for shipwrecked sailors built by the
U.S. Treasury Department along Florida's
then-desolate east coast.
Despite the Bessey's own decision to give
up pineapple farming, settlers up and
down the Indian River were now growing
pineapples near Jensen as the commu-
nity of Jensen Beach was first known -
and it soon was referred to by locals as the
"Pineapple Capital of theWorld."
One of the first settlers to plant pineap-
ples along the Indian River was Captain
Thomas E. Richards, who built his home
in 1879 on his little spot of paradise in a
place called Eden. A few years later in
1881, the Dane Laurence Jensen founded
his pineapple plantation on the spot that
would one day be known as Jensen Beach.

A group of pioneer bachelors relax in front of a pineapple field. Morris Johns, at right, arrived on the St. Lucie River in 1890.
The other two men are unidentified. Rifles were always at the ready since black bears and panthers were known to fre-
quent the area.


The eventual extension of Henry Fla-
gler's Florida East Coast Railroad line to
Potsdam in 1894 provided pineapple
growers with an easier way to ship their
produce, as well as opening Potsdam to
the rest of the world. More than one mil-
lion boxes of the fruit were shipped every
year during the months of July and August.
The pineapple prosperity wasn't des-
tined to endure, however, and most of the
area's crops were devastated by a hard
freeze in 1895. The rest were destroyed just
a few years later by raging fires in 1908 and
1910, which also burnt much of the town.
On top of the natural disasters came new
competition from Cuban pineapple
imports, and by 1920, the pineapple had
all but faded from the local economy as
residents began dedicating themselves to
citrus and other crops. Its symbol, though,
will forever be linked with Jensen Beach,
where many businesses and an annual
festival are named in honor of the king of
fruits.
In addition to carrying pineapples and
citrus up the eastern seaboard, soon Fla-
gler's trains were bringing loads of winter-
weary northerners south through Pots-
dam en route to Palm Beach. Many would
became captivated with the area's tranquil
natural beauty. Train conductors, though,
began to make fun of the tiny town by call-
ing out its destination as "Pots, Dam Pots!"
Indignant, the residents of the town decid-
ed to change its name in 1896 to honor
one of the earliest settlers in the region.
Thus, the city of Stuart was born.
Meanwhile, on the far western end of


what would one day be Martin County,
another industrialist and dreamer was
attempting to take the steam away from
Henry Flagler. Baltimore financier S.
Davies Warfield was building his own rail-
road from Central Florida to West Palm
Beach through the fledging community of
Indiantown, which was then known as
Bowers Groves. Staking it as the southern
headquarters of his railway, Mr. Warfield
began acquiring large tracts of land and
even built the landmark Seminole Inn in
1927.
He even aspired for the town perched on
the banks of the St. Lucie Canal to become
the seat of the newly formed Martin Coun-
ty. But between his death and the Great
Depression that followed, his dream also
died. It would be many years before the
development company that purchased his
holdings, the Indiantown Company, Inc.,
would begin to significantly develop the
area.
When the residents of Stuart, in what
was then the far northern fringes Palm
Beach County, found out in early 1925 that
the town would receive only $250,000 of $6


million in bonds for county-wide roads,
they began renewing calls for the forma-
tion of their own county.
A petition signed by 3,200 residents
accompanied a bill introduced to the
Florida legislature on May 7, 1925, and a
delegation of local officials traveled to Tal-
lahassee to lobby for the new county.
Their pleas fell on deaf ears, however;
until they offered to name the county after
incumbent governor John Welborn Mar-
tin. With his persuasive efforts on the
Florida legislature, the Senate passed the
bill paving the way for Martin County's
creation on May 28, 1925.
After local residents overwhelming
voted in favor of the new county in a sub-
sequent referendum, the Martin County
boundaries became official on Aug. 5,
1925.
The city of Stuart, already incorporated
since 1914, became the county seat. In
commemoration of the formation of Mar-
tin County, city officials erected the Stuart
Welcome Arch in 1926. The historical arch
was restored to its original appearance in
November of 2006.

The economy of Martin County,
just as that of the rest of the state of
Florida, has been slogging through
the downturn in the housing mar-
ket and the effects of soaring prop-
erty taxes and hurricane insurance
rates.
Though a lot of people view the
county s current economic climate
as dismal, the president and CEO of
the Martin County Chamber of
Commerce, Joe Catrambone, wants
to focus on the bright side.
He said that the Treasure Coast
has become spoiled to an overheat-
ed economy that's now coming
back down to Earth.
"We've had several phenomenal
years, but you can't keep on pre-
dicting the high all the time," he
said. "A lot of people don't remem-
ber what it was like 10 years ago. In
the summertime, you could have
played stickball on U.S. 1."
Mr. Catrambone expects to see an
improvement in the real estate sec-
tor this fall and said the chamber's
Web site is receiving about 15 to 20
percent more relocation inquiries
this year compared to the same
period in 2006.
He said that Martin County is still
very desirable to retiring Baby
Boomers and South Florida resi-
dents fleeing the urban sprawl of
Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm
Beach County.
"I think we're in a very advanta-
geous position on the Treasure
Coast," he said. "Those people are
moving up here to paradise and
paying cash. You've also got a
bunch of Boomers who are retiring,
and a certain percentage of them
are going to move to Florida and to
the Treasure Coast."
Mr. Catrambone also referred to
several new commercial projects
currently on the books as proof that
developers still have a lot of faith in
Martin County.
"We've got three or four hotels
ready to start construction soon,
and we've got a hotel planned for
U.S. 1 north of the bridge," he said.
"I just had someone join the cham-
ber who's building a 300,000


square-foot center on U.S. 1 south
of the Super Wal-Mart."
Even with the area's growth, he did
say that local businesses are being
hurt by several negative factors,
including elevated property taxes
that aren't mitigated by homestead
exemption or the Save Our Homes
law. It's an issue that must be
addressed by the state legislature,
he said.
"Businesses in Martin County
have seen their taxes go up 30 per-
cent in the last two years," he
explained. "They're not protected.
There's no 'Save our Business.'
That's the reason we're losing busi-
nesses to Georgia, the Carolinas
and Tennessee."
Businesses that do relocate or stay
here would have no shortage of
skilled workers, which include a
huge number of working retirees,
he said.

Layoffs in the health industry
The county's largest employer,
Martin Memorial Health Systems,
has recently been buffeted by the
effects of a sluggish economy and a
reduction in Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursements. As a result, the
company recently announced the
layoffs of 70 employees.
Martin Memorial CEO and Presi-
dent Richmond Harman emphasized
that there would be no staff reduc-
tions of employees working directly
with patients in hospitals, and that
the majority would come from the
finance and human resource divi-
sions of the company.
Although Martin Memorial's
newest addition, the Frances Lang-
ford Heart Center, has given the
company's bottom line a shot in the
arm, he said it wasn't enough to com-
bat the double whammy of increased
patient care costs and lowered reim-
bursements. He's not optimistic
about when things might turn
around for the company, either.
"I really don't know," he said. "We're
expecting our volumes to be pretty
flat this year. We had huge growth
between 2006 and 2007 because of

Stuart's Lyric Theatre steeped in history


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer

The Lyric Theatre in Stuart, now enjoy-
ing great success, has had a long and
sometimes difficult history.,
Built in the 1920s by a settler with big
dreams, it fell on hard times and saw
resurgence as the area around it pros-
pered and people came to appreciate
the importance of preserving local his-
tory.
J.C. Hancock brought his family to Stu-
art from Cairo, Illinois in 1902, and he
quickly became the town's justice of the
peace. Judge Hancock built a home on
Atlanta Avenue, started a pineapple
plantation, and opened an insurance
agency.
The judge was involved in all aspects
of Stuart's growth, and by 1913, he was
trying to bring Stuart its first theater.
In 1914, he opened the first of his three
Lyric Theatres on Osceola Street. Within
a year three-reel silent movies were
being shown on Wednesday nights for 5
and 10 cents.
When the movies weren't in town, the
Judge's son, Fred, booked other enter-
tainment.
Mrs. Hancock, Mamie, provided the
musical accompaniment for the silent
films.
The Hancocks allowed school groups
to use the theater at no charge. Since
there was no electricity, the enterprising
judge furnished his own "electricity-
making machine" or generator, to power
for the theater, which seated 250 at a
time when Stuart's population was
about 100.
That first Lyric Theatre was such a suc-
cess that it quickly outgrew its site. A
crowd assembling for a showing of a
locally filmed production of "Robinson
Crusoe" in February, 1917, nearly took
the roof off and the Hancocks began
construction almost immediately on a
new theater.
The second Lyric was built on Flagler


Avenue where the present theater
stands.
The present Lyric opened on March 15,
1926, showing the silent movie, "Skin-
ner's Dress Suit."
The theater cost $100,000 and was two
stories high with a penthouse above and
a drugstore on one side. It was operated
as a silent movie house and when talkies
arrived, in the 1930s, the theater
switched over to the new medium.
"Danger Lights," a railroad drama star-
ring Louis Wolheim, Jean Arthur and
Robert Armstrong, was the first talkie to
air there.
Judge Hancock was an optimist about
the future growth of Stuart, and when
hard times hit during the Depression,
the new theater caused the family finan-
cial hardship.
It was closed and eventually bought
and sold to a variety of owners over the
next 50 years, serving at one time as a
church.
In 1987, downtown Stuart was being
redeveloped, and community-minded
residents saw an opportunity to save the
historically significant theatre, con-
tribute to the redevelopment effort and
provide a place for community events to
take place.
Since 1987, the Lyric has hosted events
ranging from classical theatre to rock
and country bands, orchestra and jazz
concerts, and dance recitals.
The theater has hosted Jackie Mason,
Joel Grey, Kris Kristofferson, Patti Page,
The Manhattan Transfer and a wide
range of musical talent.
In the 2006-2007 season, its 80 th
anniversary year, the Lyric held its first
gala with the Beach Boys rocking the
house.
Several local theater companies use
the Lyric stage and it also hosts charity
events and fundraisers.
The Lyric seats 500; a 1997 renovation
made structural repairs, installed a new
air conditioning system, remodeled
backstage and dressing areas and new

Buccaneer," starring Frederic March and directed by Cecil B. DeMille.


office space and restrooms.
More recently, the stage and backstage
area were expanded so that the theater
can accommodate almost all types of
touring acts, including dance and pro-
duction shows.
Since 1997, John Loesser, son of famed
Broadway composer Frank Loesser, has
served as the Lyric's executive director.
The theater is listed on the National Reg-
ister of Historic Places.
John Wilkes, chief operating officer for


the Lyric and a consultant to the Sunrise
Theatre in Fort Pierce, says that both
theaters have played enormous roles in
their respective communities in the past
and have important roles to play in their
futures
"Like many other historic theaters they
have seen good and bad times," he said.
"The Lyric is experiencing great times
and the Sunrise is looking forward to the
next level of success with the support
and patronage of the community."

the open-heart program, but we're
not expecting to have significant
growth between 2007 and 2008."
Martin Memorial does have a
bright spot on the horizon, though.
The company plans to build an 80-
bed hospital on a 20-acre site in the
Tradition development in western St.
Lucie County.
According to Scott Samples, public
information coordinator for the
company, the hospital site would be
adjacent to the Torrey Pines Institute
for Molecular Studies that's currently
going up in the Tradition area.
"Torrey Pines was a key supporter
in our bid for a certificate of need,
and both sides are hopeful that we
can collaborate with each other on
clinical studies," he said. "The hospi-
tal would feature a full-service emer-
gency department and a dedicated
obstetrics department, and is expect-
ed to create 400 new jobs."
That good economic news, though,
has been tempered by the fact that
construction on the new hospital
may be delayed up to two years due
to appeals filed in July by St. Lucie
and Lawnwood Regional medical
centers.

Slow, steady growth
and low unemployment

Ever since 2000, population growth in
Martin County has grown by a steady
two percent, according to Cesar Perez,
an economic specialist with Martin
County's Growth Management Depart-
ment. That figure has dropped over the
last year or so, however.
"The increase for 2005-2006 was only
one percent," Mr. Perez said. "We
expect this year to be even less, so it has
certainly slowed down. We believe this
is a reflection of the state and national
conditions and not special to Martin
County."
He said the most recent figures for the
county were released in 2006, showing
an approximate population of 142,645
residents.
Martin County's unemployment rate
remains low, and as of July 2007, was at
4.7 percent, the same as neighboring
Palm Beach County and significantly
lower than the 6.6 percent of St. Lucie
County.
Even though the housing market is
currently depressed and population

growth has slowed somewhat, develop-
ers in Martin County are not waiting
around for the numbers to change.
According to the county's Growth Man-
agement Department Director Nikki
Von Vonno, new projects are soon
going to be popping up all over the
county.
Many of the county's new develop-
ments will be located out of her juris-
diction within the city limits of Stuart.
These include two new commercial
projects along Southeast Kanner High-
way near Indian Street and a proposed
upscale shopping center known as The
Fountains that will soon rise on South
Federal Highway.
New development is alsotaking place


in the commercial areas of Jensen
Beach and as far west as Indiantown.
Two particular projects in the latter are
projected to be on such a grand scale
that they've been designated develop-
ments of regional impact (DRIs) by the
state.
"One is called the Indiantown DRI,"
she said. It is so large that it will have a
regional review by the state regional
planning council. The developer's orig-
inal proposal was for about 1,650 resi-
dences and 30,000-square feet of com-
mercial space on the 800-acre site."
The developer of another proposed
Indiantown project, the Quillen DRI,
wants to build 2,250 residences on
approximately 543 acres, 500 of which


will be multifamily units.
"Four hundred of the proposed resi-
dences will be designated as workforce
housing, and the project will include
about 152,000 square feet of commer-
cial space," she said.
Indiantown will also see two new
industrial parks: the Indiantown Com-
merce Park, which has already been
approved, and Venture Park, which is
scheduled for approval over the next
few months, she added.
The far southern extreme of the
county is seeing some new develop-
ment as well. The community of Hobe
Sound has had two new residential
projects approved within the last year,
she said.

Historic sites


*Historic Downtown Stuart:
Self-guided walking tours of three
dozen commercial and residential
buildings in the restored downtown
area are available, with free brochures
and maps available at businesses
throughout the area. Several of these
buildings date back to the 19th centu-
ry.
*House of Refuge Museum at Gilbert's
Bar, 301 S.E. MacArthur Blvd.,
Hutchinson Island, Stuart. Built in
1876. The museum is open from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Satur-
day, and from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday.
Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for
children ages 6-13.
This is the only surviving house out
of ten commissioned by the Depart-
ment of Treasury as a haven on Flori-
da's east coast for shipwrecked sailors
and travelers.
Each house of refuge was built with
the purpose of sheltering and feeding
25 survivors for up to 10 days. The
keepers for each house were to pro-
vide food, shelter, clothing, .and trans-


portation to safety. Photographs and
displays of life-saving equipment at
the museum show how the keepers
here rescued sailors from 33 ship-
wrecks.
It also served as a lookout and patrol
base for boats that were searching for
enemy submarines during World War
II, from the 35-foot watchtower in
front of the house.
The museum exhibits focus on life
on Florida's coast around 1900; there's
also a timeline of Hutchinson Island's
history through the 2004 hurricanes.
*Jonathan Dickinson State Park,
16450 S.E. Federal Highway, Hobe
Sound. Open from 8 a.m. to sundown
daily.
Thepark is named for a Quaker mer-
chant who survived being ship-
wrecked off the coast- near Hobe
Sound in 1696.
For two years during World War II,
the Army operated a radar training
school on the land, named Camp
Murphy, for more than 6,000 soldiers
and officers.


SIn 1947, the land became a state
park, which was opened to the public
in 1950. Today, the park offers kayak-
ing, canoeing, hiking and more; park
rangers organize guided nature walks
and environmental programs for chil-
dren.
For more information about special
events and park fees, call (772) 546-
2771.
*The Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler
Ave., Stuart.
The theatre was built in 1925 as a
silent movie house, then closed and
sold during the Great Depression. The
theatre was purchased and used by a
number of groups and used for differ-
ent purposes until 1987, when it was
restored as a part of the redevelop-
ment of the downtown area.
For more information or tickets for
shows, call the box office at (772) 286-
7827 or visit www.lyrictheatre.com.
*Olympia School, 9141 S.E. Apollo

ture City School or the Hobe Sound
White School. It's now known as the
Apollo School, though it's not in use.
*Seminole Country Inn, 15885 S.W.
Warfield Blvd., Indiantown.

*Wreck of the Georges Valentine,
close to the House of Refuge Museum
at Gilbert's Bar, about 100 feet off-
shore
The 822-ton Italian bark Georges
Valentine, carrying $7,000 worth of
lumber to Buenos Aires, Argentina,
wrecked offshore in a severe storm in
October 1904. Seven of the 11-mem-
ber crew survived, most with serious
injuries. Most of the wreckage has
been washed away in storms.
The next day, another ship, the
1,200-ton Spanish vessel Cosme
Colzado, was wrecked three miles
away by the same storm. 15 survived
that wreck.

BY MATTHEW DEWHURST
Staff writer

Ask anyone south of the St. Lucie River
what the best high school rivalry is and
the answer is simple.
In 1984, when South Fork High School
opened its doors in competition with
Martin County High School, it created a
riff between county residents that exists
to this day.
The Martin Bowl is one of the most
anticipated high school football games
of the year, as it has been for over 20
years. But as times change so, do
rivalries. New schools have threatened
to dilute the meaning of this storied
rivalries, while creating new ones of
their own.
Hometown News takes a look at the
one of the rivalries that have defined a
community for over 20 years

Martin Bowl

Twenty-five years ago Lee Carroll
and his wife stumbled upon Martin
County football games as something
to do on a Friday night.
They have rarely missed a game
since.
In fact, for the last 10 seasons he has
been the public address announcer
for the Tigers.
Carroll remembers when South Fork
opened up in the early 1980s, and has
watched the rivalry between the two
county schools grow.
"It was very exciting," Carroll said of
the first game between the two
schools, "The first couple games were
at Martin County because (South
Fork) didn't have a stadium. The
whole town showed up. All the middle
school bands played. They didn't have
enough room."
But the storied matchup wasn't
much of a game. Martin County
dominated the rivalry, winning the
first nine editions of the Martin Bowl,
before South Fork came through with
its first win in 1993.
The Bulldogs have won 10 of the last
14 games versus their rival though,
including the last four.
"My biggest memory of the game
was when South Fork won the first
time," Carroll said. "Because they
went nuts."
South Fork assistant coach Mike
Lavelle moved to Martin County from
Miami when his father Dennis
accepted the school's head coaching


job eight years ago. Mike played
quarterback for the Bulldogs for two
years, graduating in 2001, and was
amazed how intense the game was on
and off the field.
"My first year was unbelievable,"
Lavelle said, "The amount of people
that came out in this little communi-
ty. It's something you read about in
books and see in movies."
But in 2004 a third high school was
opened up in Martin County.
Jensen Beach High School, which
has students from all over the county,
is the smallest of the three schools
but even in just its fourth year has
established itself as one of the area
powerhouses in high school sports.
Not only do Martin County and
South Fork have to worry about just
one county rivalry, but two.
Another school in the area means
more fans are split with loyalty.
Carroll has always lived in Jensen
Beach and cheered for Martin County,
and even he admits it can feel weird
not cheering for his community team
at times.
But times do change.
A 2006 boys' basketball game
between the Tigers and Bulldogs was
a blowout with Martin County cueing
a running clock after going up by 35
points.
A few weeks later, nearly 1,200 fans
packed the Falcons' gym to watch
Martin County and Jensen Beach play
to the buzzer. When the Falcons' won,
Jensen Beach students rushed the
court as though they had just won the
state title.
"That's the way it used to be at every
(Martin County-South Fork) game,"
Carroll said. "I think Jensen Beach is
going to ultimately be a bigger rivalry
because the interaction of students in
Stuart. South Fork Kids live in Hobe
Sound and Indiantown."
That may be true, but time will only
tell.
But regardless if there is another
high school built in Martin County
down the line, it is safe to say that the
rivalry between Martin County and
South Fork will last the test of time.
Because it was the original, and the
original never goes out of style.
"All (the players) have heard grow-
ing up is Martin County-South Fork,"
Levelle said. "The kids go into it try to
win and no matter what we say, the
kids are going to go all out because
there's no better way to go out (than
to beat your rival).

In the spring of 1965, the story of the famed (or ill-famed) Ashley gang that held up banks and did other mischief in
Southeast Florida was filmed in Stuart. Much of it was on Osceola Street, while some was filmed in other parts of the
county. Jerry's Bar, in the background, played a part, as did old cars owned in the county.
