City, county at


odds over curfew


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
STUART The Stuart
City Commission and the
Martin County Commis-
sion both took up the
issue of a youth curfew on
Nov. 13, but came away
with completely opposite
outcomes.
City commissioners
voted to approve a new
youth protection ordi-
nance at the request of
Police Chief Edward Mor-
ley, while their counter-
parts in the county unani-
mously rejected a curfew
at the urging of Sheriff
Robert Crowder.
Several city residents
spoke out both for and
against the city's new cur-
few. Some, such as Robert
Hall, wanted assurances
that the ordinance would-
n't be enforced selectively.
"I support the ordi-
nance, but it should not
have double standards
and not apply to just one
section of the city," he
said.
Still others stated that
the city should let a child's
parents decide when he or
she was mature enough to
stay our past midnight.
"I was actually arrested
as a youth on an ordi-
nance," said Mark lMathis.
"My father was madder at
the government than he
was at me. I would suggest
that you leave personal
responsibility. where" it
belongs."
Calling a curfew "anoth-


er tool in the toolbox" to
use against crime, Stuart
Police Chief Edward Mqr-
ley assured commission-
ers that his officers would,
not be out aggressively
trying to punish law-abid-
ing youth.
"It's not like we're going
to be looking for every
child going by who looks
16," he said.
Stuart's new youth pro-
tection ordinance goes
into effect on Nov. 26.
After that time, youth
under the age of 18 will
be restricted from any
public place between
midnight and 6 a.m., as
well as between the
hours of 8 a.m. and 3
p.m. on school days,
unless accompanied by a
parent or guardian over
the age of 21.
There are several
exceptions, such as being
on a lawful errand with
written parental permis-
sion; engaged in employ-
ment activity or going to
or from work; being
involved in some kind of
emergency; or occupying
the sidewalk or swale of
the minor's residence.
City Attorney Paul Nico-
letti said there would be a
sliding scale of penalties,
.as well as exemptions for
minors on lawful errands.

of $25 for a written warn-

Impatient developers to raise

$2 million to improve traffic flow


County postponing most new
development until traffic
congestion is addressed on
Southwest Kanner Highway


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
A group of developers
have joined forces to pay
for highway improve-
ments to Southwest Kan-
ner Highway in order to
help alleviate congestion
and win the right to devel-
op their properties.
For the last several
months, Martin County
commissioners have
refused to permit any new
development between
Jack James Drive and Cove
Road until county traffic
engineers could find a
workable solution, for the


frequently congested
stretch of roadway, also
known as State Road 76.
Several projects along
Cove Road have also been
delayed, since many
motorists use that route as
a shortcut from U.S. 1 to I-
95.
Some two dozen devel-
opments have been affect-
ed, ranging from the
expansion of an existing
Dairy King tq multi-family
housing and commercial
centers. The developers
have been told the county
currently has no money to
improve the highway so
they will have to wait or


fund the improvements
themselves.
County Attorney
Stephen Fry explained
that commissioners were'
in their legal right to
require the property own-
ers to make the improve-
ments.
"The state of Florida told
Martin County that we
have to have a (highway)
concurrency management
system, and we're just fol-
lowing state law here in
the county;" he said. "They
(the developers) need to
fix the road in order to
develop their property,
and it's up to them to fig-
ure how to fix it."

A group of developers are determined
to pay for improvements on the
stretch of.Southwest Kanner Highway
from Jack James Road on the west to
Cove Road on the east in order to win
Martin County approval for their
proposed projects. County traffic
engineers have determined that the
heavily-trafficked section of roadway
is failing the county's state-mandated
highway concurrency plan and so
have delayed the construction of
about two dozen projects along the
highway and along the stretch of
Cove Road from U.S. to Kanner
Highway.

Reportedly, higher fuel costs are
compelling nearly half of American
drivers to check the air pressure in
their tires once a month. Now, some
are taking things one step further.
Race-car drivers have traditionally
filled .heir tires with nitrogen
because the gas offers some benefits
over compressed air. To begin with,
nitrogen eliminates water vapor
(which can comprise as much as 5%
of air) from entering the tire, enhanc-
ing tire-pressure stability at tigh
temperatures. Nitrogen molecules
are larger than oxygen molecules,
which translates to better pressure
retention, longer tire wear, and better
fuel economy. Furthermore, nitrogen
weighs less than oxygen, which
means less weight and better
performance. Lastly, nitrogen is
non-combustible, making it the
choice of airlines for their tires.
With gas prices unlikely to go
down anytime soon the majority
of drivers are seeking ways to
get the most out of every last
drop. At ADVANTAGE FORD OF
STUART, we want to help you
save your hard earned money
whenever possible. There are
several steps you can take to
improve your fuel economy.
Located at 4000 S.E. Federal
Highway, we invite you to come
in and discuss what options
are available to'you, including
the optimum air pressure for
your tires and even possibly
using nitrogen. Questions? Call
772.781.6540. Great cars, great
quality, great prices it's all here
waiting for you.
HINT: Experts say that nitrogen-
filled tires stay inflated about
three times longer than air-filled
tires.

station, was suddenly told he
was no longer compliant with
the county's highway concur-
rency regulations. What she
soon discovered was that he
was not alone.
"I went down to the coun-
ty because we were kind of
getting the runaround, and
it turned out that there were
a lot of people in the same
situation," she said.
'Almost all of them had
their applications approved
except for the traffic part."
After meeting with county
commissioners, Ms.
O'Rourke orchestrated a
meeting with a group of the
developers on July 25 to try
and work out an equitable
agreement by which they
could fund the highway
improvements and proceed
with their respective proj-
ects.
Some 13 developers, now
known as the SR 76 Corridor
Improvement Group, are
working together to raise $2
million for the improve-
ments, which would include
adding an additional traffic
lane to eastbound Kanner
Highway from 1-95 to Cove
Road; turn lanes both in and
out of Jack James Drive; And
an additional turn lane from
Cove Road on to Kanner
Highway.
Ms. O'Rourke empha-
sized that the developers
don't want to wait the sever-
al years it would take for the
county to come up with an
improvement plan and
funding for the entire high-
way. Instead, she says,
they're willing to pay to
make the improvements.
"We don't want to sit here
until three years from now
and the Dairy Queen still
hasn't gotten to expand,"
she said. "We're going to do
improvements that take
care of the existing failure,
plus provide sufficient oper-
ations to maintain the level


of the service for the new
projects as well."
In an effort to ensure that
all developers in the area
pay their fair share of high-
way improvements, county
commissioners voted unan-
imously in October for the
county to investigate all
possible ways of assessing
the projects for a long-term
solution to the problem.
Even so, developers
would have had to wait sev-
eral years before being
allowed to complete their
projects. The county's traffic
engineer administrator, Lisa
Wichser, said that a project
development and environ-
mental study of'the Kanner
Highway corridor is cur-
rently in the works, but it's a
lengthy process.
"It should start this next
(Florida) Department of
Transportation fiscal year,
and it could take up to three
years," she said.
Martin County's madi-
mum allowable automobile
counts for the section of
Kanner Highway between I-
95 and Cove Road during
rush hour is 1,860. The
average number of daily
vehicles in 2006 was 2,235. -,
According 'to county
records, the widening of
Kanner Highway to six lanes
between 1-95 and Salerno
Road is not slated until
2013, while two additional
lanes are planned for the
entire stretch of Cove Road
in 2015.
The county's assessment
process would add even
more time to the delay,
said Ms. O'Rourke.
"The issue is time," she
said. "If you're going to
work on an assessment
district, it could take two
to three years. It's not an
appropriate tool for get-
ting something on the
ground in six to 12
months."

SafeSpace shelter manager fired, board
releases plans for stricter oversight
In the wake of the stabbing death of a resident, the
board of directors of the SafeSpace domestic violence
center in Stuart fired the shelter's manager and suspend-
e'd its executive director without pay.
Board members released a reorganization plan on Nov.
15 at the request of The Florida Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, the agency overseeing the shelter for
the Department of Children and Families.
The agency determined that SafeSpace staff failed to
- follow their own policies and procedures when dealing
with a potentially violent client.
The refuge has been closed since the incident, with the
residents housed in hotels and the Vero Beach SafeSpace
location. Stuart officials said during the Nov. 13 commis-
sion meeting that the current location was being razed
soon, and. a new SafeSpace building is almost ready for
occupancy.
The residents were scheduled to move in after Thanks-
giving, but the occupancy has been temporarily, put on
hold. The shelter's state certification e-pires on Jan. 31,
and the DCF will decide \\heihei to re-certi'f it after
reviewing the center's new plan.
Francine Hooks, 25, of Port St. Lucie, is charged x ith
secrnd-degree murder and aggravated battery in the
Oct. I stabbing death of 26-year-old Milaus Almore at
the center. Ms. Hooks is also accused of stabbing anoth-
er resident, 21-year-old Rhaleen Still of Stuart, who sur-
vived the attack.

Police looking for two suspects in
armed robbery of Stuart store

Martin County Sheriff's deputies are searching for the
two men who robbed the clerk and a customer at gun-
point at El Centro de Envios, 3295 Southeast Dixie High-
way on Saturday, Nov. 11.
The two suspects were tying up the clerk shortly after 6
p.m. when a customer entered the store, unaware there
was a robbery in progress. The men robbed the customer
of about $400 and an undetermined amount from the
store.
The store's video camera captured several sharp
images of the suspects threatening their victims with a
pistol.

Martin County School District,
teachers, reach impasse

School teachers and the Martin County School District
will have to return to the negotiating table after the latest
contract talks ended with an impasse declared by the
district on Nov. 13.
The two sides failed to reach an agreement on teacher
pay or come to terms onparent-teacher conferences.and
educator dress codes.
This is the longest time that county educators have
worked without a contract since the 2003-04 school year.
Teachers may now have to wait until the New Year
before reaching an agreement.

2000. After 30 days passed,
he began questioning the
company's chief financial
officer, Joseph Risutti, as to
when they'd begin seeing
any proceeds.
The company was in des-
perate straits, he said. No
one was receiving a salary,
and the bills weren't being
paid. A friend at the Securi-
ties Exchange Commission
did some research for him,
and he got his answer.
"On Dec.15, 2000, it was
discovered we weren't going
to get a dime," -he said. "At
that point in rime, I found
out the stock sale was fraud-
ulent. They had given the
shell owners three million
shares, and those were the
only shares being traded."
Mr. Clements said he then
began calling for Mr. Risuit-
ti's dismissal, which in turn
got him a visit from two of
the company's board mem-
bers, who warned him that
it was usually the CEO in a
scam that goes to prison.
"It was at that time, that I
knew I was in serious trou-
ble," he added.
He said that Mr. Risuitti
subsequently put together a
secondary stock offering
through a company in
Boston, but he eventually
learned that any proceeds
would have to pay off a
number of undocumented
board member and share-
holder loans.


In a last ditch effort to save
his dream, Mr. Clements
filed a securities fraud com-
plaint against Mr, Mintmire,
Mr. Risuitti and the board
members.
"The next day the board
met to fire me, and rumors
were circulated that my
dismissal was due to drug
abuse," he said.
He explained that Mr.
Mintmire refused to com-
ply with federal agents'
request for a list of the cor-
poration's investors and
was eventually caught try-
ing to backdate a list of
investors on falsified SEC
documents.
After several delays, the
case went to trial in Miami
in 2006, resulting in a con-
viction for obstruction of
justice, for Mr. Mintmire,
who was subsequently dis-
barred.
Mr. Risuitti was never
charged with a crime, and
the Hometown News was
unable to reach him for
comment.
Mr. Clements said he was
told by federal agents that
up to $20 million never
made it into his failed com-
pany's coffers. Although his
own credit was ruined in

Editor's note: The
following is the final part
ofa four-part series
dealing with the many
issues ofdomestic violence.
BY WENDY DWYER
For Hometown News

By mistake, she had
slipped her husband's car
keys in her purse when she
left at 4 a.m. for an out-of-
town funeral.
When she called later in
the day to check in, people
in the next room could hear
him shouting at her, accus-
ing her of taking the keys
on purpose, trying to make
him lose his job and threat-
ening to kill her. Knowing
he had been drinking again
and might actually follow
through this time, she
spent the entire trip home
finally coming up with a
plan, feeling forced into a
decision she knew she
should have made years
before. This time, she
would flee for
real...because there might
not be a next time.
Whether or not a victim
of domestic abuse feels
capable of leaving an abus-
er there are things he or she
should do to help ensure
their own safety of and the
safety of children and pets.
Domestic violence shel-
ters and resource centers
like SafeSpace have long
encouraged victims to take
the time to come up with a
safety plan nothing elab-
orate, just an organized list
of important things to
know and remember in
case a time comes (and it
usually does) when you will
need to get away fast. Even
if you're not a victim of
domestic abuse, you prob-
ably know and love some-
one who is, so it's a good
idea for you to consider the
same things for yourself,
and for those you love who
may one day ask for your
help.
According to the National
Coalition Against Domestic
Violence, if you are still in a
relationship, you should
consider a few things to
ensure your safety when,
violence erupts.
Top on the list avoid


rooms with no exit, like the
bathroom, closets, and
rooms with easily accessi-
ble weapons, like the
kitchen. Think before
something happens about
the safe people you would
contact in case of emer-
gency and memorize all
important phone numbers.
In an emergency situa-
tion you may not be able to
get to the kitchen or wher-
ever you keep your address
book. Speak with your chil-
dren ahead of time and let
them know that it's okay to
call 9-1-1 when an abusive
incident is in progress.
Talk with your neighbors
- they probably already
know or suspect what's
happening anyway. Tell
them they should call
police if they hear sounds
of violence coming from
your home.
Don't be embarrassed it
may save your life. It's also
a great idea to establish a
code word something
easy to remember and
share it with the safe peo-
ple in your life. That way, if
you are on the phone or are
able to make a call to them,
you'll alert them to the fact
that you're in danger with-
out raising the suspicion or
the ire of the perpetrator.
If you're thinking of leav-
ing, take any important
papers and documents
with you, or secret them
away in a safe location
ahead of time. Important
papers include items like
social security .cards and
birth certificates or pass-
ports for yourself and your
children, leases and deeds,
marriage license, check-
books and statements,
charge cards, pay stubs or
W-2 forms and insurance
policies. If you have any
documentation of prior
abuse, including medical
records, photos or police
reports, it would be a very
good idea to have those out
of the house before you
leave, too.
If you're able, pack a bag
with a change of clothes for
yourself and your children:
and always keep change for
pay phone calls. Keep an
extra set of keys to the car
hidden somewhere and try

to always park so your car
cannot be blocked in. In
your emergency bag, keep
a supply of necessary med-
ications and prescriptions
for yourself and your chil-
dren, and a pair of eye-
glasses if you have an extra.
Any jewelry, irreplaceable
sentimental items and cash
are always good to include,
too.
If you share a joint check-
ing or savings account with
your abuser, don't count on
being able to withdraw
funds after you leave.
Either party in a joint
account can call and have
the card reported as miss-
ing or stolen and the same
technology that helps in so
many ways can work
against you because the
card can be canceled in a
few short minutes. Besides,
every move you make can
be tracked when you're
paying with a debit or cred-
it card, as transaction
reports can be pulled up
online almost immediately,
so contact a resource like
SafeSpace for assistance on
how to best protect your-
self and your children
physically and financially.
As traumatic as domestic
violence and spousal abuse
is on the victim, it's equally
difficult for the children in
the situation. Don't think
because your children are
small that they are clueless
to what's happening, and
don't imagine that they are
not absorbing everything
that's happening to you
and to them, too. After
you've prepared your own
safety plan, consider allow-
ing your child to do the
same thing.
Simple, uncomplicated
and direct questions can
address your child's fears
and help provide comfort
and a feeling that all is not
hopeless. Questions to
include in a child's safety
plan can be as simple as:
When I get scared I can
think about...
When I need help I can go
to...

Handicapped parking spaces

I am a person who has polio and is paralyzed. I also drive.
Originally the handicapped parking spaces were meant for
people who were paralyzed and their driver.
If a person is in a wheelchair, they cannot get out of a van in
the regular size parking spaces.
I've seen people who park in the handicapped spaces
jumping in and out of trucks and cars and running into the
mall.
Anyone who is able to walk throughout the whole mall
should be able to walk to the mall from a regular parking
space.
If you have a heart condition the doctors recommend that
you walk a lot, and that walking is good for you.
Also, if you have emphysema I don't know how you can
walk through a whole mall.
It's not fair for the people who are in wheelchairs and needs
a handicapped space, and is unable to get it.

Look at the whole picture

This is in response to "No to amnesty."
The government needs to wake up. Illegal immigrants
aren't going to just go away.
This country was founded by immigrants, our forefathers,
and so on.
Make the ones that are here working hard as they do legal.
Collect the taxes and Social Security.
Maybe it will improve our tax situation.
The illegal immigrants are very helpful to the economy in a
lot of ways.
They contribute to the food, the clothing, the housing, and
much more.
The government needs to do something with our own wel-
fare system.
The immigrants don't receive food stamps or anything.
They only receive medical aid when needed.
The Americans alone are abusing the welfare
system.
Look at the whole picture. This is not an issue to be nar-
rowed down to one group.
The first Cubans that came to America helped the economy
in so many ways.
Many people were against that back then.
Look what they have done for Florida, and the whole econo-
my.

Portability tax

This is to say no on Jan. 29 to the portability ballot that is,
coming up in Florida.
People are saying that they feel stuck in their homes, even if
they are downsizing.
They feel they should be able to take their tax, whether it be
$75,000 or $100,000 assessed value, and move it into their
:new smaller home that is t\orth up to $500,000,
They say they are stuck in their homes, and they want the
ability to take it with them. '
The real people that are suck in Florida in their homes right
now are the people that purchased their homes at a premium
in the last five years.
A lot of the homes are now Worth $100,000 to $200,000 less
than when they purchased them.
The reason that they are stuck is because most of them
have mortgages that are higher than the cost of their houses
right now.
They also are paying top-dollar premium taxes to the state
and counties of Florida.
Taking the portability for people who have been in their
homes for extended periods of time and who don't want to
move because they choose not to pay the taxes on a more
expensive home, a nicer home should stay in their home.
It's not.fair.for the people who have moved here in the last
five,. six or sever vears, or more, and purchased homes at pre-
miunmprices to pay way higher rtaes than someone who can
own the exact same home right next door and pay extremely
little and stayed in their homes for ten or 15 years, or longer.
It is just so ridiculous that it is almost scary that they are
even thinking or putung this on the tax bllot.
" If they need to fix the taxes, the\ rided to fix the taxes for
everybody, not for just the few people ivllo are their friends.
It irks me dtha they say t.h.at people feel stuck in their homes,
- aMaybe they-should-talk4tlo _onw olf he people whose homes
are now worth about $100,000 less than the original purchase
price. They are paying way, way higher taxes than what they
should be paying.
I hope people see that this would be an unjustifiable slap in
the face for many, many people who are living in Florida.
By passing a law for the portability, what Gov. Christ would
like to see would be for people who purchased homes within
a certain time frame being penalized with extremely high.
People who didn't purchase homes during this certain time
frame will benefit.
It doesn't make any sense to me. And, I don't see how it
could make any sense to anybody unless they have been in
their homes for a while and have an extremely low assess-
ment.
That is whom it will benefit.

Why all of a sudden?
Wouldn't you think with all of the publicity about them
exposing themselves they would stay low-key?
It's almost as if they want to get caught.
Is there an epidemic of oversexed men? Is that all they are
thinking about.
Each one of them should get a life.

'Holiday' not same as 'Christmas'

I received the (Palm Bay newsletter) the other day and read
with great interest the listing on the back page of the events
going on for the next few months.
The one that I really found interesting was the "HolidayTree
Lighting, which used to be called the Christmas Tree Lighting.
I think it is really ironic that it is on Dec. 8, the feast day of
the immaculate conception who (in case people either don't
know or have forgotten) is the mother of Jesus Christ. It is
really his birth that we celebrate on Dec. 25 and also the rea-
son that most people have the day off.
We really need to get back to the reason for this special day.
If some people cannot tolerate this, then they need to go work
for the people who are working and would love to have the
day off, to go to church and spend the day with their families-
those who really know the true meaning of the special day.
Holiday is not the same as Christmas.

Make voice heard about illegals, imports

I am encouraged when I read the Viewpoint page and real-
ize the number of citizens who also have a problem with
sugar-coating thq benefits of illegal aliens.
What we need to see more of are the statistics that show the
drain they are on all aspects of our economy. I, for one, would
like to know the cost of providing all of our services in Span-
ish.
Isn't there a requirement for prospective citizens to know
English as a requirement for citizenship?
What can we do about all of this?
Become involved and support only candidates who repre-
sent your point of view. Notify your elected local, state and
federal politicians about your concerns. Send letters, e-mails
or make telephone calls to their offices.
They don't know unless we make them aware. They repre-
sent us, not the illegal aliens.
I would rather pay more for fruits and vegetable (maybe
grow some of my own than to pay the high taxes and more for
medical costs due to the ever-increasing drain on our econo-
my.
Similarly, I believe parents and grandparent would be willing
to pay more for children's toys than pay a cheaper price at the
expense of their children and grandchildren's health.
If you are concerned as I am, make this known also to your
local, state and federal politicians.
Buy onlyAmerican-made toys for the children in your fami-
ly this Christmas.
Perhaps the top manufactures will get the message and
bring those jobs back to America.
China doesn't give a hoot about the safety of Americans.
The American people have the power, but it can only be
used through our government representatives.
Let your voices be heard by those who can do something
about this
If our voices are loud enough, maybe they will begin to lis-
ten to us.

Best way to support troops
is to bring them home

I believe in helping the helpless, the Christian thing.
I believe in staying strong ourselves to be in a position to
help the helpless.


After Sept. 11, I supported the war. As I see it, we eliminated
the weapons of mass destruction (they were working on germ
warfare), took out the training camps for al-Qaida and even
took down Hussein.
Done! Now out!
War does not help the helpless. The helpless are raped,
slaughtered and (starved) in wars.
Who did we help in Vietnam? Big U.S. companies who get
military contracts.
Elected official do not have a right to hide personal
finances. When personal finances create conflict of interests,
national interests trumps personal finances even for the pres-
ident and vice president, both of whom profited from the war.
The Sunshine Law gives the people the right to know who
"owns" the elected.
Our Constitution lists three contingencies for which our
president may be impeached: "Treason, accepting bribery,
and other high crimes against the state."
So how far off are personal interests? Just semantics?
We need to focus on national security, on quality of life
here at home, and where it was most needed in the world.
That would help the helpless. We have escalating poverty in
this country The poor are getting more desperate and crime
is increasing alarmingly. Our commander in chief does not
support our troops. He sent our troops, lacking in proper
protective equipment, to their death.
That is an unforgivable disgrace; the unpardonable sin.
The best way to support the troops is to bring them home.
We need them home, alive, healthy and beautiful, where their
talents can be used to help the helpless.

2,000-year-old Bible stories have little to do
With homosexual reality today

Homosexuality now has very little to do with the Bible or its
stories of 2,000 to 4,000 years ago.
Prejudice and fear has put it in a position of being a scape-
goat of blame and hatred.
The word sodomy from the stories passed down by word of
mouth in ancient times became the word to describe sexual
behavior.
This story of Sodom and Gomorrah is from the book of Gen-
esis in the Old Testament.
Before it was written down in the 13th or 15th century B.C.,
it was only in the oral tradition.
We do not know how much of it is true or untrue. Emerging
knowledge in the fields.of psychology, sociology and medi-
cine does not justify holding to prejudices passed on in these
stories.
John Shelby Spong, former Episcopal bishop of New Jersey
and well-known author, said these things in his best seller,
"Saving the Bible from Fundamentalism:"
"Scientific data which the 5th and 6th Century B.C. authors
of the Torah and St. Paul could not have imagined throws new
light on the causes of homosexuality.
... data available today suggest that homosexual orienta-
tion is not a matter of choice but a matter of ontology.
"...this phenomenon has been present in human life since
the dawn of human history. It is present in higher mammals.
"... and there has been no appreciable success despite all
the efforts of modem science including psychiatry in chang-
ing this reality for the vast majority of persons..
... The authors of the Bible did not have the knowledge on
this subject that is available to us today. The sexual attitudes
in scripture used to justify the prejudiced sexual stereotypes
of the past simply are not holding in this generation."
I, for one, live in the present. My life is my opportunity to be
the very best I can.
If my child is gay, Ido not stop loving him. If my brother and
sister are gay, they are still a part of my family and of me. I am
also in community with people of all kinds and colors, parts
of my world.
Why should I discredit them? If I do, I discredit myself.


Morality determines integrity

One does not have political integrity without personal
morality.

Buy American-made surfboards

Because of the Chinese surfboard invasion of about eight
years ago, a lot of American surfboard companies have gone
out of business.
Brevard County is home to a lot of fine surfboard factories
and the whole custom surfboard industry is hurting because
of the cheap China imports that are built by Chinese slaves
over there. That's why they're able to be sold so cheap in the
U.S.A.
This is unfair competition. Some unscrupulous surfboard
shops actually remove the Made in China label and pass them
off as American made. They say they are made in California,
but they are actually imported into California and are made
in China or Taiwan or some other country.
Before you buy a surfboard from a shop, make sure you ask
them specifically, "Where is this surfboard made?" and make
sure you buy American and save-the American handmade-
custom surfboard industry before it disappears before your
very eyes.

Americans victimized by Chinese products
Americans should know by now that they are victims of Chi-
nese products.
Poisoned pet food, fish in our markets, birds' feathers and
lead-contaminated toys were sold by the big stores because
everything is cheaper from China.
How can we protect our children, our pets and ourselves
when everything is from China?
Peacocks, colorful parrots and emus are being subjected to
cruel methods of feather removal in China. The feathers are
in our big stores sold as Christmas ornaments and decora-
tions.
There's a definite lack of compassion by the companies that
deal with China.
We can only be free of Chinese products if we stop buying
anything marked Made in China.

President, vice president not to blame

(At) a recent press conference when the president of France,
Nicolas Sarkozy, was visiting the United States and was talk-
ing to President Bush, a reporter asked President Bush if his
tough rhetoric toward Iran's nuclear escalation was causing a
rise (in the price of) crude oil.
President Bush answered that it had to do with supply and
demand. The world is consuming more than it can refine.
Hint, hint, Democrats. Do you get it?
Drill in Anwar (Province)? Build another refinery? It takes a
lot of time to build one.
I suppose the mainstream media outlets send out their
novice reporters just so they can have representation in the
crowd and then give them a stupid question to ask.
Now, Sen. (Dennis) Kucinich, a Democrat, wants to
impeach Vice President (Dick) Cheney because he manipu-
lated intelligence to send us to war in Iraq.
If Sen. Kucinich is correct, then maybe we should go ahead
and impeach (Bill) Clinton for time after time putting our
country at risk when the terrorists were hitting everywhere,
including the first bombing of the World Trade Center.

Review
From page A3
Community Redevelopment Areas may eventually get to
sell beer, wine and cocktails after commissioners voted
unanimously to ask the state legislature to lower the mini-
mum size requirements for serving alcohol.
Community Development Director Jeff Oris said the abili-
ty to serve alcoholic beverages would level the playing field
for the mom and pop restaurants in Hobe Sound, Palm City,
Jensen Beach, Rio, Golden Gate, Port Salerno and
Indiantown.
Currently state regulations for Martin County require that
a restaurant serving alcohol have at least 4,000 square feet
and 200 seats. County officials want to lower that to 2,500
square feet and 150 seats in the seven areas.
The county must next ask a state legislator from Martin
County to sponsor a bill for the 2008 spring session. If
approved, the smaller establishments could be serving
alcohol by next summer, Mr. Oris said.

Curfew
From page Al
ings, which can be
appealed through the mag-
istrate," he said. "There will
be penalties for the busi-
nesses that admit them as
well.
Commissioner Carol
Waxier expressed concern
about equitable enforce-
ment and limiting civil
rights before insisting that
the curfew be approved
only on a 12-month trial
basis.
"I always have a concern
when our civil rights and
liberties are regulated," she
said. "I don't want to see it
selectively enforced."
The commission voted 3-
0, with commissioners
James Christie Jr. and Jef-
frey Krauskoph absent, to
approve the youth ordi-
nance.
Earlier in the day, county
commissioners had taken
up the same debate at the
request of residents con-
cerned about youth vio-
lence and vandalism.
Rocky Point resident Mike
Johnson said he and other
participants in a Port Saler-
no town meeting on crime
issues made it clear that a
youth curfew was needed.
"I am sick and tired of
kids tearing up our person-
al property," he said. "I'm
not asking for 100 percent
enforcement. I just want
the deputies to have it as
another tool in their bag."
Commissioner Sarah
Heard sided with Mr. John-
son, saying that area resi-
dents were tired of having
their mailboxes destroyed,
among other acts of van-
dalism.
Commissioner Doug
Smith, on the other hand,
referred to a curfew as
"opening up a can of
worms," and Commission-
er Michael DiTerlizzi stated
that parents should be tak-
ing a bigger role in their
children's lives, explaining
that he set his own curfews
for his children.
"I may be considered to
be a pest by my kid; but at
least I know where he is,"
he said.
The assistant to the coun-
:ty :administrator, David
'Graham, reported to com-
missioners that sheriff's
office data between April 1
and Oct. 5 didn't reflect the
need for a curfew.
"Within that time period,
1,419 juvenile incidents'
were reported," he said.
"However, only 118 of ihem
occurring within the
statute-defined hours of.12
p.m. to 6 a.m."
Saying that the county
had sufficient laws on the
books to deal with juvenile
criminal behavior, Sheriff
Crowder emphasized that
he was concerned about
the "criminalizing of non-:
criminal conduct."
"Right now, I think we've
got the tools we need to do
the job that we have,"-he
said. "I don't see how a cur-
few is going to be anything
that's going to do us any
particular good."
Many county residents
have been calling for a cur-
few since 16-year-old
Dewayne Bernard Mitchell
III was killed during a street
brawl in Hobe Sound early
on the morning of Aug. 5.
Sheriff Crowder added that
a curfew would not have
prevented his death.
"The guy with the gun
who did the shooting was
not even a juvenile," he
said.
The sheriff reminded
commissioners that only 11
counties in the state had a
lower crime rate than Mar-
tin County, none of which
was in South Florida.
"Our deputies don't feel
the need for a curfew," he
said. "I just don't feel that
it's something we need to
have."
County commissioners
sided with'the sheriff, vot-
ing unanimously to reject a
county-wide curfew.
Chief Morley explained


later that Stuart, being the
urban hub of Martin Coun-
ty, has a distinct set of
problems.
"We have different prob-
lems than the county, but
we do like to have the abili-
ty to make sure our youth
are safe," he said.
Both Chief Morley and
department spokesperson
Sgt. Marty Jacobson said
city law enforcement offi-
cers would have no prob-
lems enforcing a curfew
that was not enforceable in


the county.
"We have no complica-
tion whatsoever," Sgt
Jacobson said. "It's the
safety of the child that we
most want to be con-
cerned with."
Sheriff Crowder said his
deputies would respond to
assistance calls by Stuart
police if they needed help
in apprehending curfew
violators, as; they do in all
other calls, but explained
that the county would
handle youth in its own
way.
"We'll be checking them
out to see if they're doing
anything suspicious," he
said.

Wrote a column for this
paper on Sept. 7 entitled
"Quick reference guide to
fine print in car ads."
Since then, dealers have
come up with so many more
gimmicks and tricks that I felt
compelled to write another
column adding the latest bait
and switch fine- print
disclaimers. All of these are
taken directly from the Palm
Beach Post auto classified
section. You will probably
need a magnifying glass to
read some of these. I do.
. Several of the fine print
disclaimers you will read are
illegal under Florida law, but
dealers constantly run them
with impunity.
For example, Florida law
requires that the advertised
price of a car must include all
charges, except sales tax and
license tag. The dealer fee
must be included in the
advertised price and some
dealers either are ignorant of
this law or just ignore it.
I don't understand why
the Florida Attorney General's
office ignores this. In fact, I
don't understand why the
local newspapers that run
these ads don't take a stand.
I guess Bill McCollum and
Tom Giuffrida don't read my
column.
Smart buyers read the
fine print. What do you
suppose motivates this dealer
to hide this sentence in the
fine print of his very deceptive
newspaper ads? Is this just a
very bad joke on his cus-
tomers? Does he think that
the customer will forgive him
for being baited and switched
because he has also included
this sarcastic phrase?
Some vehicles listed may
be pre-owned. This dealer
will have used cars mixed in
among the new cars that he
has advertised. Unless you
can read the fine print, you
don't find out until you come
into the dealership.
"$1,000 cash offer" paid
out in any form or combina-
tion of forms. I'm not exactly


sure what the dealer intends
to communicate here, but
interpreting this literally
means he can pay you with a
credit toward the purchase of
another car, in extended
payments over time or maybe
even in shiny beads and
trinkets such as we used
when we bought Manhattan
from the Indians.
Must take delivery today.
To get the advertised price,
you have to drive it home the
same day. If you take delivery
you also have to sign all of the
papers including finance
arrangements. This precludes
you from doing any due
diligence in getting competi-
tive bids on the car you're
buying, the interest rate and
trade in allowance.
Price includes $2,000
cash or trade equity. This
simply means that the price
you can read in the full- size
print has been reduced by
$2,000. If you find and can
read the fine print, it tells you
have to pay an extra $2,000
above the advertised price.
Hazardous waste disposal
fee. This is just one of many
phony fees you can be
charged in dealers' service
departments. Other names
dealers have dreamed up for
this extra surprise profit are:
shop supplies, miscellaneous
supplies and sundry supplies.
This fee is added by taking a
percent of your total service
bill up to 10 percent. If you
take issue with this charge,
there is a good chance the
dealer will waive it.
700 miles per month. This
is a limitation on the number
of miles you can accumulate
on your leased car without
paying a penalty at the end of
your lease. The amount of
miles allowed varies, but they
usually are much less than an
average driver drives. If you
average 15,000 miles per year,
your penalty on a 36-month
lease with a 700- mile per
month limit and a 25-cent per
mile penalty would be $4,950.
Offers may be cancelled
at any time without notice.
This is pretty self explanatory
if you can read the fine print.
If the dealer decides that he
doesn't want to honor the
price offered in the ad, he can
just say, "I changed my mind."
SVery short lease term and
high down payment. Nothing
sells cars like low monthly
payments. A car dealer can
make a monthly lease
payment as low as he wants
by reducing the number of
months of the lease and
increasing the down pay-
ment. I'm looking at an ad in
the Palm Beach Post right
now advertising an SUV for
$19,999 or just $199 per
month. In the fine print it says
27-month lease and $3,000

down, plus a $799 dealer fee.
Plus dealer-installed
options. The price you see
advertised in the paper is not
the full price. This loophole
allows the dealer to tack on
thousands of dollars in
overpriced accessories to the
price that was advertised.
With apprgyed credit. The
lease payment or purchase
payment you see advertised is
based on someone with very,
very good credit. Sometimes
the ad will specify a mini-
mum Beacon score of 750 or
even 760. An almost negligi-
ble percent of people have a
credit score that high. This
payment gets you in the door,
then they tell you your credit
isn't good enough to qualify
for that payment.
Advertised offer good on
select in-stock vehicles only.
Dealers often advertise just
one car at a price below their
cost. They don't pay the
salesman a commission if he
sells that vehicle. The chances
of that car being available for'
you to buy are "slim and
none." Even if the car were
still there, the salesman
would do everything in his
power to sell you a different
car that he could earn a
commission on.
Owner loyalty rebate.
Manufacturers offer special
cash rebates to current
owners of their cars. These
rebates are not available to
you if you don't currently own
that particular make of car.
For example, if you own a
Honda, and want to buy a
Toyota, you don't qualify for a
Toyota loyalty rebate.
That price you see advertised
* won't be available.
Military rebate. If you are
on active duty in the U.S.
armed forces you qualify for
this rebate. Of course, the
price you read in the paper
already discounts the price by
this amount and the dealer
increases it if you are not a
"soldier."
*College graduate rebate.
If you have graduated from an
accredited four-year college
within the last six months,
you qualify for this rebate.


And the price in the paper is
discounted by this amount.
Dealer loyalty rebate. To
qualify for this rebate that is
already taken out of the
advertised price, you must
have bought a car from this
particular dealer within the
last year.
Price...plus, tax, tag and
fees. The red flag word here is
"fees." The fees these dealers
refer to are "dealer fees"
which are synonymous for
dealer profit. Most people
think it's a federal or state tax
of some kind. It's nothing
more than more money for
the dealer that is not dis-
closed in the price of the car.
Offers expire date of
publication or maybe
cancelled at anytime without
notice. This simply means
that the prices, payments,
etc., you have read, have no
validity whatsoever. The
,prices are not good tomorrow,
but they aren't even any good
today, because the dealer can
cancel the offer without
notice.
Not responsible for
typographical errors. This is
just one more way for a dealer
to. explain why they can't sell
you the car for the advertised
price. We don't have to honor
that price because it was a
"typographical error."
Vehicle art for illustra-
tions only. This means that
the car you are looking at with
the really great-looking
wheels might not have those
wheels on the one you buy.
Or, maybe it doesn't even
have that sunroof you see in
the picture.
Minimum trade based on
dealer list price. The dealer
list price is not the same thing
as the manufacturer' suggest
price. Dealers add markups to
the lonrone\ label, also
known as MSRP or manufac-
turer's suggested retail price.
They label this markup (often
on a sticker designed to
imitate the official federal
Monroney label). Dealer
markups of $3,000 and much
more are common on such
"counterfeit Monroney"
labels. In this case, the dealer
has marked up the MSRP far
enough so that he can offer a
minimum $10,000 trade-in
allowance.
Offer not available on
advertised cars. Folks, it's
hard to behe\e that even a car
dealer would have the "'
unmitigated gall to print an
offer in his newspaper
advertisement \ith an
asterisk that referred to fine
print saying it doesn't apply to
any cars in this advertise-
ment.
My advice to you is to
ignore all car dealers' newspa-

Jensen Beach building,
changing the address on a
contribution and making a
mysterious payment during
her 2006 election campaign.
Commissioner Heard
called the charges false and
frivolous, saying she had
broken no laws, while Ms.
Melzer said the timing was
obviously meant to distract
from the Valliere case.
Concerning the billboard
wall space, Mr. Sorenson
accused Commissioner
Heard's campaign of accept-
ing it as an in-kind donation
and said the advertising
space was worth more than
the $500 maximum for such
contributions. The commis-
sioner's campaign treasurer,
Pauline Becker, denied the
accusation, saying the wall
held no value in itself.
The charges against Com-
missioner Valliere stem from
the work of the Citizen's
Committee of Martin Coun-
ty, a political action com-
mittee run by her husband,
JimValliere.
The FEC ruled that the
CCMC provided more than
$30,000 in assistance to
Commissioner Valliere's
campaign. If the charges are
upheld, the FEC can impose
up to a $1,000 fine for each
count.
The couple said they plan


to fight the charges with the
help of Tallahassee attorney
Mark Herron. Commissioner
Valliere declined to com-
ment upon the advice of her
lawyer, but issued a press
release in which she accused
Ms. Melzer of conspiring
with the media to "publicize
false and malicious charges"
in an effort to damage the
her reputation.
Mr. Herron responded to
the FEC's investigation say-
ing that he and the couple
vigorously objected to the
formal complaint filed by
Ms. Melzer.
"We understand that it is
your obligation to make a
finding of probable cause on
certain allegations," he said.
"We are absolutely con-
vinced that, subsequently,
upon a full a fair hearing, the
Vallieres will. be absolved of
each and every remaining
allegation."
Ms. Melzer said it
appeared Mr. Sorenson and
others were just trying to
muddy the waters so the res-
idents wouldn't understand
the severity of the charges
resulting from Mr. Valliere's
oversight of both the PAC
and the finances for his
wife's re-election campaign.
"The investigation is pretty
much through, and they
believe that they have some


82 charges against Jim and
28 against Susan," she said.
The former commissioner
said she got involved when
she realized Mr. Valliere was
not keeping electronic
records online for the PAC,
which showed zero contri-
butions, she said. She decid-
ed to contact the FEC after
going over the PAC's finan-
cial records obtained from
the Martin County supervi-
sor of elections.
"When I went to get copies,
they began showing discrep-
ancies," she said. "When he
(Mr. Valliere) was making
decisions, he had a couple of


hats on, and unlike people
who are treasurers just writ-
ing checks, he was actually
making the decisions and
coordinating the efforts
between the PAC and the re-
election campaign."
Ms. Melzer says she herself
has no political aspirations
but simply wants elected
officials to represent the
people who put them in'
office.
"My goal is just that the
residents are adequately
represented," she said. "A lot
of us believe that Susan went

the Pacific Ocean wheie this

Valparaiso to Arica, Chile,
Callao (Lima), Peru, Puerto
Caldera, Costa Rica,
Acapulco, Mexico and Cabo

San Lucas, Mexico, before
arriving at the final destina-
tion and the Mariner's new
home in California.
You may choose to sail
the entire 46-night itinerary
from $4,787 per person for
an inside stateroom and
$7,167 per person for a
balcony stateroom. Fares
are based on double
occupancy and include port
charges. Airfare, govern-
ment taxes and fees are
additional.
The first segment (15
nights) from Port Canaveral
to Rio have fares from


$1,529 a person; segment
two (15 nights), Rio to
Valparaiso, from $1,829 a
person; and segment three
(16 nights), Valparaiso to
Los Angeles, from $1,429 a
person.
Reserve early if you
choose the 46-night
itinerary for best available
staterooms and enjoy a
generous onboard credit
per stateroom.
Now back to Port
Canaveral. Royal Caribbean
has not yet named a
replacement for the
Mariner, but we would like
to see one of Royal
Caribbean's new Freedom-
class ships come to the
port. The 154,000-ton ship,
which has all of the incredi-
ble amenities of the Voy-
ager-class ship, has added
activities such as the new
H20 Zone and the
FLOWRIDER, the first ever
at-sea surf park. There's
truly something for every-
one.
We shall miss the Mariner
of the Seas, but before it
does the ship will continue
her alternating eastern and


western Caribbean itiner-
aries.
The other cruise options
that sail from Port Canaver-
al at this time are Disney
Magic and Disney Wonder,
each sailing three-, four-
and seven-night itineraries;
Carnival Sensation, sailing
three- and four-night
Bahamas; and Carnival
Glory sailing alternating
eastern and western
Caribbean itineraries; Royal
Caribbean's Sovereign of the
Seas, sailing three- and
four- nights to the
Bahamas.
Port Canaveral is a port of
call for NCL and other
various cruise lines making
their way to and from
Caribbean ports. It is a
growing port and easy to
navigate.
Don't miss out on an
incredible journey that
starts in our own backyard.

Once you leave a violent or
abusive situation, make sure
you protect yourself outside
the home by altering your
normal travel habits, shop-

court order (protection or
restraining) with you at all
times.
Ninety-five percent of all
domestic violence victims
are women. Typically, a vic-
tim leaves the abusive situa-


tion seven times before
staying away. Sometimes,
that's because she feels she
has no place to go; some-
times it has to do with
finances and often, sadly,
she returns because of fear.
Studies have shown that
75 percent women who are
killed by their spouse or
partner are murdered after
or while they are trying to
end the relationship. In
spite of enduring beatings,

abuse, it's when a victim

I Ms. Becker said she could-
n't comment on the charges
against Ms. Heard because
she had yet to receive a for-
mal FEC complaint. Mr.
Sorenson had called her to
read. her the accusations,
she explained, but never
presented her with a for-
mal document.
"I don't' know where he
got the complaints from,"
said. "I had never actually
seen them, and to me it's all
hearsay."
Ms. Becker said it
appeared to her as a form
of "tit for tat," since Com-
'missioner Valliere had
backed Mr. Sorenson's
failed bid for a commission
seat in 2004, and Ms. Melz-
er is an ally of Commis-
sioner Heard. She also said
Mr. Sorenson had been
very actively involved with
Mr. Valliere.
Mr. Sorenson, who said
he'd already formed his
political watchdog group
before receiving the infor-
mation on Commissioner
Heard's alleged campaign
violations, failed to return
repeated calls by the Home-
town News for comment.

Holidays don't


have to be perfect


to be memorable


The holidays are
supposed to be times
of joy. However, for
too many of us, they have
become so stressful that we
dread the reminders that
the holidays are coming.
Since the retail season
seems to start ever earlier,
we have more than enough
time to worry about the
things we need to and want
to do.
While some holiday stress
may be inevitable, there are
some stress-busters that
can help you enjoy the
holidays more.
We all play an expecta-
tions game: those we set for
ourselves and the ones we
feel from family and society.
We want the holidays to be
Hallmark memories and
Kodak moments. The reality
is that human beings don't
always act and react the
way we'd like them to. To
avoid disappointment and
manage the stress that the
holidays often bring,
experts at the Mayo Clinic
suggest several things we
can do to make the stress
level manageable and keep
us from getting over-
whelmed and depressed.
Acknowledge your
feelings: If you are grieving,
it's normal to feel sad. Don't
force yourself to be happy
just because it is the
holidays. However, you may
feel better if you seek
support from friends, the
community, religious
organizations or charities
that help others. Helping
others often makes us
forget our own problems
and out them in perspec-
tive.
Be realistic: As families
change and grow, traditions
may change, as well. If your
entire family can't be
together anymore, invite
friends to join you for the
day. Share phone calls, e-
mails, home videos, digital
photos (or the old-fash-
ioned kind) to stay close to
family that's far away.
Set differences aside:
This is not a good time to
discuss long-standing
problems. Everyone is
stressed and everyone
should try to ignore small
problems and let things go.
Stick to a budget:
Before you shop, decide
how much you can afford
to spend on gifts and
entertaining. Budget in
decorations and food, as
well. Give homemade gifts,
narrow your list, and agree
only to buy gifts for the
children or find some other
way to manage expenses.
Perhaps a family gift
exchange, where each
person buys for one other
person will work for your
family. Maybe you could all
donate gift money to a
worthy cause. If you get into
debt, you'll be dealing with
the bills and the stress for


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well

months to come.
If you shop early, you can
spread the spending
throughout the year and get
things on sale. You can give
pretty IOUs that promise
gifts of yourself-walking a
friend's dog, baby-sitting,
and other things that don't
cost money, but are from
the heart. Children can give
them to parents and
parents to kids: a day in the
park, a trip to the zoo or the
beach, a special day just for
that child.
Plan ahead: Get a plan
of action going before the
holidays start. Decide when
you'll shop, when you'll
cook, when you'll entertain.
Plan menus and make
shopping lists to cut down
on runs to the store at the
busiest times.
Learn to say no. Only
agree to do the things you
really want to do, unless it's
impossible to say no, like to
your boss. Don't sayyes to
every request and don't feel
guilty about saying no.
Forget being perfect:
Your domestic diva should
take a hike. So the cake falls.
The kids act up. Your
mother-in-law criticizes
everything. You do the best
you can. Kids will remem-
ber happy times, not perfect
cakes. Laugh about it and
make a funny story. Maybe
let them help bake a new
one, or make easy-bake
cookies, instead. Who cares?
Don't try to do it all, either.
Have guests bring a dish or
decide not to make every-
thing from scratch. Older
kids can help, too.
If you asked a lot of adults
what they remember about
the holidays, it usually
comes down to family, both
good and bad. What people
remember are experiences.
Maybe you won't find the
perfect gifts or cook a
perfect meal, but if you
enjoy the holidays, taking
pleasure in the things you
do and not worrying about
the things you can't do, your
family will enjoy them, too.

Treat your Christmas tree with some extra TLC


It's getting to the time
when many of us will be
decorating our trees for
the holidays.
A great alternative to an
artificial tree and/or a live
tree is a Norfolk Island pine.
They are available at most
retailers and come in
several sizes. Some even
come already decorated and
ready to go.
The Norfolk Island pine
does require a well-lit area
of your home if you are
going to keep it indoors for
an extended period of time.
These trees have distinct-
ly flat branches and short
soft needles. They thrive in
humid environments,
which makes them right at
home in Florida. The soil
should be on the moist side.
A sure sign the tree is not
getting enough moisture is
when you start to see a lot of
dead lower branches. The
Norfolk pine does not


regenerate its lost limbs or
needles, so it is important to
stay on a steady watering
schedule.
If the tree is over-watered,
you will begin to see areas of
bright yellow needles that
fall off easily. To avoid this,
be sure the plant is not
standing in water. If you
purchase a tree with foil
wrap on it, be sure to slit the
foil so water can drain from
the pot.
It is not recommended
that the trees be pruned as
the plant can loose its
symmetrical shape.
If you are one of the many
Americans who are buying a
live tree this year, here are a
few tips to help you with the
process.
Since live trees in our area
are trucked very long
distances to their destina-
tion, picking out the freshest
looking tree is extremely
important. Make sure your

tree is green with minimal
brown branches.
Check the needles to be
sure that they are flexible
and do not fall off when you
brush the branches.
Another good check is to
bounce the tree lightly on
the cut end to see how
aggressively the leaves fall

off the branches. Avoid trees
that shed leaves aggressively
with this procedure.
Another point to consider
is where the tree will be
placed. Be sure to get
accurate measurements of
the area so you can get a tree
that is tailored to its loca-
tion.
Once you've picked that
prize tree, the next most
important task is to get your
tree in its stand and located
where it will spend the
remainder of the season. If it
has not been done at the
tree lot, cut off about an inch
from the bottom the tree
before mounting it into the
stand. This will greatly aid
the tree in absorbing water.
Once the tree is mounted,
be sure to add water
immediately. The sooner all
this is done the better. Now,
it's time to decorate the new
tree with all the goodies you
have been collecting the

past couple of weeks.
Use caution with lights,
especially if you use the
larger C-7 type lights. As
long as the tree remains
moist and the needles
pliable, the tree will not be a
huge fire hazard. As the tree
ages and you get near the
end of the season, more
caution is advised since the
tree structure will become
drier in nature.
Now that all the work is


done, the time has come to
sit back with your favorite
beverage and enjoy your

Cruise dining
not as stringent

I love the article in the
Hometown News travel sec-
tion about cruising on the
ocean.
One thing I think that
should be added is that most
cruise lines these days have
what they call free-style din-
ing in all of the restaurants
where you just come and go
as you please.
The days of assigned din-
ing at the early 6 p.m. or the
late 8:30 p.m. seatings are
pretty much over.
I think the travel section
should let people know that,
and not discourage those
who want to eat whenever
they please, rather than at
an assigned time.

Make signs larger for
garage sales

I want to say something to


the people who have garage
sales and put signs up to
advertise them.
They should make their
signs larger and have them
more visible, with larger
print.
Sometimes when you are
going by in the car you can't
read them.
People would do more


business and sell more
things if the signs had an
arrow pointing to the
house, and gave a little bit
of direction as to how to
get there.
Also, make provisions for
parking. Put your car, or
your company car, down
the street or somewhere to
allow room for customers.

Treasure

Coast is

definitely

ready for

Sondheim
In the first 'Scene' column
last summer, I asked
readers if they thought
the Treasure Coast was
ready for a Stephen Sdnd-
heim show.
If the first audience at the
recent StarStruck Perform-
ing Arts Center's production
of the school edition of
"Sweeney Todd" was an
indication, the answer is a
resounding yes.
The audience responded,
to the darkly macabre, often
funny production with
tremendous excitement at
what they were seeing. It
was so easy to forget that
the performers were teens,
some as young as 13 and 14.
They brought a maturity
to their roles that kept them
from being caricatures.
I had first seen many of
these young actors in
"Rent" in the spring;
Philippe Arroyo, who
played Angel then and
portrayed Tobias in
"Sweeney Todd," is only 14;
the tennis and basketball-
playing teen wants to be a
doctor, but he has a capaci-
ty to lose himself in a role
that is wonderful.
James Channing as
Sweeney Todd and Brittany
Weir as Mrs. Lovett are
veterans of many Treasure
Coast productions and in
this production they
showed the audience the
polish and professionalism
that you expect to see on a
larger stage. They both plan
careers in the theater and it
truly doesn't seem an
impossible dream for such
gifted performers.
Also notable in the cast
were Alyssa Beckman as
Johanna, Kevin Connor as
Anthony, Robert Johnston
as Judge Turpin, Amanda
Paul as Pirelli and Jaimee
Smith as the Beggar
Woman.
The sets were wonderful,
and Jennifer Jones, the
director said that it was the
most technically challeng-
ing production she'd ever
mounted.

Rehearsals intensify as


'Cinderella' opening nears


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Opening night looms and
rehearsals for "Cinderella" are more
intense.
In September and October,
rehearsals were broken down into
scenes, so that the entire cast was
not rehearsing at the same time.
The King and Queen rehearsed
together and then began coming to
rehearsals with the ensemble. Cin-
derella and the fairy Godmother
rehearsed their scenes on a different
night. Dancing was worked out sep-
arately from singing.
For Jami Dolan,, the director, it's
weaving all the strands of the tapes-
try together for the finished product.
. In the theatre, as in life, things
don't always go as planned. People
have emergencies and can't come to
rehearsal or have to drop out all
together.
The Fairy Godmother has had to
leave the cast and has been replaced
by Sharon Owens, who had not
auditioned because of other com-
mitments, but who is stepping in the
breach.
I have had to drop out because a
medical emergency that means I
can't go to all the rehearsals, which
are now most evenings and on
weekends as opening night nears.
In addition, the cast is helping
Darren Cripps, the set designer,
paint the sets on a Saturday when

Aries-March 21-April 19
Your positive attitude is contagious. It is a natural
trait because of your good heartedness. It is easy
to see why you are so successful and well-respect-
ed in life. Your love of family and friends is leg-
endary. You will always be faced with new chal-
lenges. Your courage to take action and find
solutions always pulls you through any tough
assignment.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
The moon in Taurus this week gives you an
emotional edge when making decisions. You have
heard this before. It's time to follow your heart.
When you listen to your first impression and then
take action when it feels right, the probability of
success is tipped in your favor. It's only when you
are too busy to listen or just don't trust that results
start to slip. The universe never lies.

Lyric Theatre from Nov. 28-Dec. 2, poses for a group picture.


Gemini-May 21-June 21
Live each day like there is no tomorrow and
make the best of what you have been given. This is
the most reliable way to ensure that more will
always be on the way. When you recognize the
good in others and affirm it, they see it in you as
well. This is the true meaning of life. We receive
value multiplied for value given. Stay above the
small stuff. Believe in your heart, and so it will be.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Use recent successes as a springboard to rise to
the next level. Continue to think high, inspired
thoughts. Fear is not a word in your vocabulary.
Work on your top priorities first. It builds respect
and loyalty and makes everyone happy. This kind
of magic makes your life more valuable because
you get more done as you continue to flourish and
prosper.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Life is going so well that occasional challenges
are met with ease. Why? Because you plan ahead
but live one day at a time. You have come a long
way this year. There is still a long way to go. Your
healthy attitude and habits continue to move you
toward your goals. You have found new mastery
over life. These beautiful traits will continue to
bring you true abundance in life.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept 22
Your love of life, nature and the universe is evi-
dent in the increased health, and happiness of


recent months. You are at your best when you set
lofty goals and bring them into reality. You were
bom to excel. Your life is overflowing with possibil-
ities that few ever experience. Why? Because you
take action and help turn your advantages into
adventures.

Libra-Sept 23-Oct 22
Venus in Libra gives you a distinct edge when
creating happiness. It gives you a wider, deeper
view of the possibilities about which course of
action to take. Let your heart make the final deci-
sion. It knows the truth. The head can only guess.
This edge, along with your natural strong instincts,
results in positive outcomes. This is what makes
your life so special.
Scorpio-Oct 23-Nov.21

Mercury in Scorpio gives you much mental clarity.
Your mind is keen as well as your wits. When you
invoke feeling power along with clear thinking,
great decisions are possible to make that move
your life forward. Affirm every day that you are
being fed by the supreme power and give thanks.
This makes spirit want to help all your causes every
day.
Sagittarius- Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It's your time of the year. The sun along with

showcase of the children's
talents; it is a fundraiser for
the Pineapple Playhouse
and serves as the annual toy
drive for St. Lucie County
firefighters.
All theater-goers are asked
to bring a new, unwrapped
toy to be distributed to
needy kids in St. Lucie
County.
Debbie Johnson, who runs
the summer program and is
directing the production,
spoke recently about what
she hopes to achieve with
this special show.
"After the camp, there's no
other opportunity for the
kids to show what they've
learned," Ms. Johnson said.
"Also, every child is in a
show in camp. I asked the
board if there could be an
opportunity for the children
to audition and put on a
main stage production. We
have 23 children ages 7-14
and they are doing wonder-
fully. "How to eat Like a
Child" is 24 musical lessons
in life about being a child.
Some, Like "How to Torture
Your Sister," are funny;
some touch the heart. Each
vignette is solo or with sev-
eral children. The kids are
having a great time. I'm
amazed at how they're
doing, especially as they

dreams. The key is to clearly
define your goals, write them
down and affirm them out
loud. this is the formula of
champions. Because you look
at life's challenges as oppor-
tunities to learn, master and
grow, your greatest wishes
will definitely be granted.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Your fine sense of duty, loy-
alty and patience continues to
grow and thrive. Truth contin-
ues to unfold around you.
More positive change and
advancement is on the way.
When large decisions are
required, let your first impres-
sions guide you. When you
have to labor over it, it means
you aren't ready yet. Be bold
when it feels right and suc-
cess is guaranteed.


Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
When obstacles appear in
your path, you move them
out of the way. Why? Because
you are so flexible. You know
how to maneuver around,
over or through the detours.
Your perseverance is paying
off. You are operating from a
higher dimension. Deep on
your, personal quest. The uni-
verse has new challenges just
ahead. You were picked to
handle them. You do it so
well.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Many life secrets are being
revealed to you right now.
Observing the actions of
those around -you without
reacting in haste will bring
you much insight into the
direction your life should be


going. It is so important to
read the signs which are
vibrations of like attracting
like. Then take action when
inner guidance speaks and
you will emerge with great
blessing upon your life.

hurting live actors was
wonderful, and Todd
Bearden, the technical
director, deserves praise for
that and for the oven in
which Mrs. Lovett bakes her

The makeup by Gigi

resident to introduce
film on hidden chil-
dren at Blake Library
Palm City resident Peter
Feigl, one of many children
hidden from the Nazis by
Quakers in France during
WorldWar II, will introduce
the film, "The Hidden
Children," a BBC documen-
tary about how the children
were rescued and con-
cealed, at the Blake Library
on Dec. 6 at 2 p.m.
Mr. Feigl's family fled
Austria in 1938 and lived in
Belgium until the German
invasion of that country.
The young boy fled to
France with his mother,
where they were held for six
weeks in a French concen-
tration camp and released.


His father joined them, but
in 1942, during a roundup
of Jews in France, his
parents were sent to
Auschwitz and killed.
Peter Feigl was helped to
escape by Quakers who sent
him to a mountain village
where he was hidden for
nine months. He was given
false identify papers and
sent to boarding school, but
after the SS raided the town
where he was hidden, he
was helped by Christian and


Jewish organizations to
cross the border illegally
into Switzerland. He was 15.
He came to the United
States in 1946, served in the
U.S. Air Force, and worked
in government and busi-
ness. He and his wife,
Leonie Warshauer, have
been married for 53 years
and have lived in Palm City
since 1990.

Cinderella


From page B1
rehearsals are not sched-
uled.
When tech week starts,
just before the play opens,
the cast will be responsible
for moving the props, sets
and costumes from the
rehearsal space into the
Lyric Theatre. They'll also
begin their first rehearsal at
the theater.
This night is the first run-
through of the first act. Until
now, scenes have been
rehearsed separately.
Ms. Dolan has coped with


"IfS going to be a zoo. Ifs expected. This is
where we find our weak areas, the places we
need to work on. It's also the first time the cast
gets to see what everyone else is doing."

Director Jami Dolan
On the first run-through for Cinderella


cast changes, missing props,
traffic jams and every other
kind of distraction and says
that tonight may not be
pretty.

"It's going to be a zoo," Ms.
Dolan said. "It's expected.
This is where we find our
weak areas, the places we
need to work on. It's also the
first time the cast gets to see
what everyone else is
doing."
As the cast mills around
waiting for rehearsal, I am
distracted by two men in
heels and skirts who are dis-
cussing the back pain high
heels cause.
When not in skirts, they
are Travis Eaton and Shane
Blanford; tonight they are
the Ugly Stepsisters and,
indeed, they make very ugly
women.
Tonight I hear performers
I haven't heard before. Mark
Fetterly, from Lake Worth,
who teaches drama at Palm
Beach Lakes High School in
West Palm Beach, is the
Prince. He is dark and Josie
Murray, Cinderella, is fair.
They are the Disney charac-
ters come to life.
Vicki Goulet, who is the
stage manager and is over-
seeing all the details of the
production, pulls a skirt
on over her jeans and she
is the stepmother. After
she sings her solo, the cast
bursts into applause.
Ms. Dolan warns the


cast that they will have
only 10-15 seconds
between each scene to
whisk the props and sets
off the stage and bring the
new ones on.
Cast members have
been told what they will be
moving and told to do it
fast."I can't stand dead air
or slow set changes," the
director says.
With only two weeks to
go, I have already learned
a great deal about the the-
ater. I have learned that
every member of the cast
is critical to the show's
success, and even a small
part has to be rehearsed
often and meshed in with
everyone else.
Everyone has to know
where to be on stage at all
times, especially in relation to
other performers. I have
gained tremendous respect
for the cast and crew, who
work all day and then give up
evenings and weekends to
rehearse. They do it because
they love the theater.
With several weeks until
opening night, there are still
things that can go wrong, but
Ms. Dolan is confident they
can deal with any problems.
"This is theater," she said.
"We can find a way."

tions presents "Cinderella"

Pretend turkey is just a large


chicken to quell cooking anxiety


Hello, smart shoppers. I
owe you the biggest
apology ever. Howl
messed up and gave you
Thanksgiving's column after
the holiday, I will never know.
I've been asked if the
Grammy Guru is a real per-
son. Now you know that it is
true. So, for those of you who
want turkey for Christmas,
this column is for you.
Any brand of turkey will
do, it's how you cook the
turkey will determine its
moistness. For my turkey, I
make my German Aunt
Margie's Sausage Stuffing.
According to my daughter-
in-law, Lisa, "It should be
patented!"
Roasting your first turkey
can be a terrifying cooking
experience. However, it isn't
hard to cook a turkey: Just
pretend it's a very large
chicken. I have given you
vegetable recipes in past
columns. Our vegetable
menu is mashed potatoes,
candied yams, mashed
rutabaga, German-style
spinach corn casserole and


green bean casserole, plus
nuts, pies and fruit.
Make as many foods as
possible a day or two before
to make your life easier.
Cookbooks: Check out
my cookbook special at the
end of the column. To all my
fans who are eagerly await-
ing my second book, believe
me I am eager to get it
finished. I'll keep you posted.
The Guru's Special Hint:
When buying roll pork
sausage it is best to buy a
name brand such as Jimmy
Dean or Tennessee Pride.
They're more expensive but
there is very little fat to drain
off, so, there's more sausage.

ROAST TURKEY
Thaw turkey, remove
giblets from the cavity and
neck, (no, it didn't come
already stuffed). Save
roasting instructions from
the turkey bag. Remove any
fat and soak the bird in cold

salted water for at least one
hour. Doing this gives the
meat a fresher flavor.
Rinse and dry with paper
towels. Rub turkey with
canola oil and sprinkle with
salt and pepper. To roast a
small turkey, place breast
side down on aV-rack. Turn
breast side up the last half
hour of roasting.
Another trick for a perfect
bird is to season and place it
in a paper supermarket bag.
Place in large roasting pan
and leave bag open. No
basting is necessary. Tear
open bag the last half hour,
baste and roast until golden.
For a very large turkey,
place it in a heavy roasting
pan, season as directed.
Make a tent of heavy duty
aluminum foil and place
over top of turkey. This will
prevent the moisture from
escaping. Baste occasionally
and roast until done. Remove
foil about 1/2 hour before for
a crisp crackly skin.
If you choose to stuff the
turkey, be sure the stuffing is
cooled; bacteria can grow
when you place hot stuffing
into a cold bird. Loosely stuff
both the body and neck
cavity; the stuffing swells as
the bird cooks. Close
openings with turkey
skewers and string. Tie wings
and legs, and roast as
directed on the package.
Last year, we chose a 20-
pound bird. To free the oven
for the vegetables. I tried an
old method and timed it.
Put the turkey, tented with
foil, in a 200-degree oven at
10 p.m. the night before. At

10 a.m., set the oven to 325
degrees. Cook about 2 hours
or until a meat thermometer
inserted in the thigh
registers 170-180 degrees.
Increase time according to
size. Baste often. You'll get a
tender and juicy bird. You
can also remove the turkey
from the oven in the
morning and put it back
into a pre-heated oven 2
hours before you plan to
serve.
For an end result that is
easier for serving and lower
in fat, place stuffing in a
large covered casserole
rather than in the bird. Put
in oven the last hour and
baste with a squirt of turkey
drippings. Make gravy as
instructed in a previous
column.

Formula of champions is not to gamble with your life


Our very first impres-
sion is always the
best when we are
open, listening to, trusting
and acting on it.
This is the gut instinct at
work. The gut instinct is
connected to the universal
energy. It says, "This feels
good. My heart is in it. I
want to do it." Or, it says,
"My heart isn't in it. I really
don't want to do it."
Until we get to the point of
emotional and spiritual
development and belief
where we honor these first
impressions, we still
struggle.
Why? Because our
instincts tell us very clearly
when to act if we are
listening to them. Then, the
head gets in the way. We talk
ourselves out of this inner
truth and guidance because
of fear, doubt and indeci-
sion.
As a rule, we think way too
much when we should be
waiting and listening for the
true answers to pop up into
the mind. Very likely a third
to a half of our vitality and
life force is wasted because
of wasted analytical think-
ing. Are you tired of being
mentally tired much of the
time? There is a much better
way to live.
Abundance lives within
the heart and spirit of every
living human. It isn't just


about money. The true path
to freedom is within us and
yearns to be set free. The
true spiritual life is one of
love, peace, health, prosper-
ity, faith, creativity and joy.
How happy are you?
There are two paths in life.
The first is living by the
"outer" path and ways of the
world, duality and chance.
The other is living by the
"inner" journey, choice and
the oneness it offers. When
we live by the "outer" ways
we will always be stressed,
fearful and barely get by.
Living by chance is the
same as gambling. In Las
Vegas, if we throw the dice
enough times we will
occasionally hit the jackpot.
If we play for a long time, we
will eventually lose our
shirt, because the house has
the edge. The odds are
against us.
When we say in life, "I
hope this happens," or "I
hope that happens," we are
living by chance. This is the
same as expecting the
universe to grow our crop
for us without planting the
seeds. It isn't going to
happen. The universe helps
those who help themselves.
However, living by choice
and trusting our "inner"
guidance and taking
positive action is "the
formula of champions."
Do you want more good in


appreciation and show us
i 'what makes us truly happy.
''. This emotional maturity is
'W. \ the foundation for spiritual
^ -.. ''and creative growth.
Growth can't happen
S '' without change. If we
i become complacent in life
we get stuck, sidetracked or
lost. Get back on track.
STake the plunge. You can
1 do it. Refuse to let fear or
negative people hold you
back.

THAT'S


SOME LOLLIPOP


Keepsake Quilt Shoppe


encourages age-old craft


File photo
Alison Kirkland, 5, of Jensen Beach makes the most of a fake, oversized lollipop
at the open house for HPS-Helping People Succeed in Stuart last season.


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
With the cool weather now upon us
and the holidays just around the cor-
ner, there's no better time than the
present to take up the art of quilting
and begin crafting a Christmas present
that will become a family heirloom for
generations.
The Keepsake Quilt Shoppe on South
U.S. 1 in Port St. Lucie offers classes for
beginning, intermediate and advanced
quilting students, with day, afternoon
and evening classes to work around
your schedule.
Owner Pam Clark is herself relatively
new to the craft, having learned the art
just a few years ago.
"It was something that I had wanted
to learn how to do," she said. "I decided
that I liked it so much that I opened my
own store."
A 26-year resident of the Treasure
Coast, Ms. Clark opened the 2000
square-foot store in 2003, which offers
area quilters top-of-the-line quilting
supplies such as 100-percent cotton


fabrics, licensed series embroidery
design collections, patterns, quilting
books, notions and more. Although the
shop sells no quilts, many of Ms.
Clark's can be seen adorning the walls.
She also stocks a full line of Brother
sewing and embroidery machines, as
well as offering service and repair on
other machines. Customers interested
in quilting have come from as far away
as Miami and Daytona Beach, she
added.
The Keepsake Quit Shoppe boasts a
complete staff of quilting teachers and
offers classes daily. Even novices can
call to schedule an introductory class
tothe craft.
The store is located at 10778 S. Fed-
eral Highway in the Sandpiper Plaza on
the east side of U.S. 1.
Hours of operation are from 9 am. to
5 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fri-
days; from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednes-
days and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sat-
urdays.

7728 or visit the Web site at

Why not pamper loved


ones this holiday season?


BY ANNE-MARIE MENHENOTT
ForHometownNews
After fighting the crowds in the malls
over the must-have items of the season,
relaxing and being pampered seems as far
out as finding a parking space within rea-
sonable walking distance of your favorite
store.
While recovering from your latest holi-
day excursion, imagine being indulged by
a seasonal cranberry-pomegranate body
treatment or a pumpkin-and-orange
facial.
Or what about a massage on your
aching feet while enjoying a glass of wine?
Or how about hot stone treatments or a
Swedish massage?
Serendipity Therapeutic Massage and
Bodyworks of Stuart not only offer these
luxuries to weary Christmas shoppers, but
those ready to take a break from the hustle
and bustle of every day life.
Parties of up to twelve people can enjoy
the Serendipity experience by signing up
together.
"The massages are to die for," owner
Cynthiaann Hayes said. "We have groups
come in all the time. It's no fun to be sepa-
rated into little rooms. We have bigger


rooms and while some enjoy facials, the
others can snack on cheese and fruit. We
also can accommodate children's parties.
We order pizza and soda and the kids real-
ly enjoy it."
Don't be mistaken; this isn't your typical
spa.
Besides the most popular Swedish mas-
sage and hot stone therapy, there are over
a hundred different services offered
including reflexology, body wraps, sports
injury treatment and rehabilitation, deep
tissue massage for pain management,
therapeutic medical massage, neuro-
muscular treatment, and aromatherapy.
There are Christmas specials available
as well.
Personalized gift certificates are being
sold as buy one get one free, and they have
no expiration date. Prices start as low as
$30.
Serendipity Therapeutic Massage and
Bodyworks is located in Colorado Avenue
Plaza, 727 Colorado Ave., in Downtown
Stuart.
They are open Monday through Satur-
day, from 8 a.m. -8 p.m.
For more information, call (772) 781-
7494, or visit www.serendipitymassage.net.

HOMETOWN NEWS


The Bike Shop offers


holiday lay-a-way plan


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
If you're tired of giving the traditional
Christmas sweater, smelling all the lat-
est fragrances at the perfume counter
or guessing the musical taste of some-
one on your gift list, then head to the
Marsh Rabbit gallery in Jensen Beach,
where every artistic creation is as
unique as the colorful community it
calls home.
Gallery manager and artist Bonney
Schermerhorn says that all of the mer-
chandise at Marsh Rabbit is handcraft-
ed and original. Here you can find
everything from distinctive Christmas
tree ornaments to hand-painted bar
stools.
The gallery focuses on artworks by
some 40 different local artists, so you
can choose from paintings in a variety
of media to please even the pickiest of
art afficionadoes. There is also a good
selection of photography, as well as
Mrs. Schermerhorn's own wood cuts
woodcuts and linoleum prints.
For the jewelry lovers on your list,


you could do no better than a genuine
pearl necklace (available in both white
and black pearls) or a piece of jewelry
crafted of diachronic glass, whose
metallic surface dazzles with the look
of silver, gold and other metallic tones.
There are also a variety of distinctive
home d6cor items, such as stained
glass windows and sun catchers, pine
needle baskets, hand-painted gourds
and a large amount of glassware.
Other gift ideas include glassware,
shell items, handcrafted tote bags and
much, much more.
The Marsh Rabbit is open Tuesday
through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m., and until 9 p.m. on Thursdays as
part of the weekly Jammin' Jensen side-

dors, music and great food.

downtown Jensen Beach.

Remember a time when credit cards
were not the norm, the sensible way to
make those special purchases was a lay-
a-way plan. The fun and anticipation of
making that last payment was a reward
in itself.
In keepingwith that bit of nostalgia,


The Bike Shop is offering the lay-a-way
plan, with 25 percent down payment
and pay the rest later, to its customers.
The family-owned and operated full-
service business is run by Steve and
Susanne Broxmeyer, and a full-time staff
of three.

Give the gift of travel


Jensen Beach Travel offers gift certificates
that can lead to journeys of a lifetime


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staffwriter
Every year during the holidays, shop-
pers fight the crowds to find just that per-
fect gift. Sure, clothing, jewelry or a plasma
TV make great presents, but for a Christ-
mas gift that will provide fond memories
for years to come, consider a travel gift
certificate from Jensen Beach Travel Ser-
vice.
In operation for 39 years, owners Toley
and Helen Engebretsen and their staff can
offer you professional advice on choosing
just the right trip to make Christmas
morning even more special.
If you'd like an all-inclusive vacation
during which you only have to unpack
your bags once, consider a cruise. Jensen
Beach Travel offers both Caribbean and
European itineraries ranging from three to
seven nights during the upcoming winter
season.
Or, for a unique Down Under experi-
ence, opt for the 16-day land tour of Aus-
tralia and New Zealand on Feb. 26. Closer
to home, you can give the gift of America's
oldest city, with the three-day, two-night
bus tour of historic and charming St.
Augustine.


Jensen Beach Travel also offers a
number of day trips and excursions
from which to choose, which make
great gifts and are even a great way to
pamper yourself during the sometimes
stressful period leading up to the holi-
days. These include a tour of Lake
Wales' famous Bok Tower, followed by
dinner at Chalet Suzanne on Dec. 5; a
Tony Bennett concert at the King Center
in Melbourne following an early dinner
at Marsh Landing on Dec. 9; and a
Christmas shopping trip to Sawgrass
Mills in Broward County on Dec. 12.
To really get in the spirit of the season
and perhaps find an unusual gift or two,
be sure and reserve your spot on the
Mount Dora Christmas Walk on Dec. 7.
This enchanting Central Florida town
rolls out the red carpet for its annual
Christmas celebration featuring live
music, handicrafts and more.
The 2008 tour brochures are ready.
Visit the agency at 1991 N.E. Jensen
Beach Blvd. for more tour options and a
copy of a newsletter detailing the trips.

Action, adventure, rhythm


hot items for video gamers

Stuck on what to give the 'gamer' in your life?
Check out some of these suggestions


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

From the casual fan to the avid
player, video games are high on
every gamer's wish list this season.
Everyone knows the popularity of
video games, but if you are among
those who don't play, how do you
know which are the "must haves" for
the players on your gift list?
Fear not and read on to find out
everything you need to know.
There are different genres of video
games, including rhythm, action
and adventure. Each has some very
popular titles that are being
released just in time for the holi-
days. These games are appropriate-
for all age groups and all types of
gamers, from the casual player to
the hardcore enthusiast.
The type of gaming console for
the players on your list is important
to know, as different games are


played on different types of con-
soles Microsoft Xbox 360, the Wii
(pronounced "wee") from Nintendo
and the PlayStation 3 (PS3) from
Sony.
Guitar Hero III and Rock Band are
very popular titles that appeal to
gainers from nine to 90 and from the
casual to the hardcore player. These
are rhythm games, and one of the
most fun aspects are the controllers.
Rather than a standard "button-
pushing" controller, in Guitar Hero,
the controller is a plastic guitar, and
Rock Band includes multiple con-
trollers. One controller is a guitar,
another is a drum and the third is a
microphone, so in addition to play-
ing, singing is also involved in this
game.
There's no sitting on the couch
with these games. Players strap on

Holidays are always special in Martin County


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staffwriter
The holidays in Martin County and
its unique communities are a very
special time, filled with the warmth
and light of the season.
The county's privileged location
along the banks of the St. Lucie and
Indian rivers and the shores of the
Atlantic means celebrations take
place both on land and on water.
To kick off this year's holiday season
in true South Florida style, be sure
and mark your calendars for the 27th
annual Maritime Industries Christ-
mas Boat Parade. Held at 6 p.m. on
Dec. 1, the parade features some two
dozen boats whose owners all try to
outdo one other. Shepherd's Park at
the southwest foot of the Roosevelt
Bridge and South Point Anchorage are
the best spots from which to view the
festivities.
The president of the Stuart/Martin
County Chamber of Commerce, Joe
Catrambone, says that Florida's fan-
tastic winter weather is the perfect
backdrop to the unofficial start of the
county's holiday festivities.
"It just kind of starts off the season


with seeing how people decorate their
boats," he said.
For a full afternoon and evening of
good times and holiday cheer, you'll
want to head to downtown Stuart the
next day for the free RiverWalk Jazz
Holiday Festival. Three of the most
popular jazz bands from the River-
Walk Jazz Series will perform- The
Rowdy Roosters, Ossie Wright Jr. and
Groove Division, and Robert Navarro
and the. Latin Groove-along with
community bands and school musi-
cal groups singing Christmas carols.
Osceola Street will become a pedes-
trian mall for the day to enable guests
to enjoy a car show and other activi-
ties, which begin at noon Dec. 2 and
last until 8 p.m.
The kids will especially enjoy the
Santa's fun zone, said Assistant Parks
and Recreation Director Jim Chrulski,
who put on his holiday meteorologist
hat for his weather forecast that day.
"It's going to snow on Dec. 2," he
added, referring to the snow that will
be brought in for the young revelers
to play in.
This is the first time in many years
that area residents won't be enjoying
the free hospitality and holiday cheer


There's always a diversity of activities in Stuart, since it's kind of
the cultural hub in the community, and that's the kind of role we
play.'

Dan Hudson
Stuart city manager


provided by lawyer Willie Gary in his-
annual Christmas party held near his
law offices in downtown Stuart. The.
prominent attorney cancelled the
event when he was unable to obtain
the permission of the neighboring
businesses on Osceola Street that the
city was requiring.
Stuart City Manager Dan Hudson
said he's hopeful the event will be
able to go on next year since it has
been such a shot in the arm to the
local economy. He emphasized that
the city offers a great variety of other
events during the holiday season.
"There's always a diversity of activi-
ties in Stuart, since it's kind of the cul-
tural hub in the community, and
that's the kind of role we play," he
said.
One of the city's most popular
events is the annual Soroptomist


Christmas Parade Friday, Dec. 7. The
excitement gets underway 7 p.m. on
East Ocean Boulevard and proceeds
down Monterey Road.
To get a glimpse into Martin Coun-
ty's rich heritage, be sure and take
time out on Dec. 15 to experience the
Holiday Open House at the Stuart
Heritage Museum.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., museum
visitors can see how early Martin
County settlers celebrated the season
through displays of old toys, antique
Christmas decorations and original
advertisements for gifts and other
wares at the city's oldest department
stores. They'll also enjoy free refresh-
ments prepared by the museum's
board of directors, said Board Presi-
dent Chris Sawicki, who explained

Volunteering is the gift


that keeps on giving


Feng shui can eliminate


stress of the holidays


BY WENDY DWYER
For Hometown News
'Tis the season and you know
you've been there before.
Pacing the malls, surfing the Web
and racking your brain trying to
come up with the perfect gift for
someone special or worse still,
something for that co-worker, friend
or loved one who has everything.
This year, do yourself a favor.
Instead of settling for a gift certificate
or yet another sweater or tie they'll
only return or re-gift, why not con-
sider the giving gift that keeps on
giving?
Instead of spending time and
money buying a gift they may not
want or need, how about a Saturday
morning donating your time or more
on behalf of that special someone at
Habitat for Humanity?
In the past ten years, 24 local
families have achieved the dream of
home ownership because of people
just like you who helped by making a
donation of time, talent or treasure to
Habitat for Humanity.
It's not a handout by any stretch of
the imagination. Each Habitat family
goes through a stringent application


process, financial counseling and
donates hundreds of hours of their
own "sweat equity" in order to qualify
for a Habitat mortgage.
If you can't lift a hammer or find
the business end of a coping saw, not
to worry. You can always make a
small donation to help cover costs, or
even make sandwiches and purchase
bags of chips and soda for Habitat
volunteers who work up a powerful
appetite.
If you're not into that, or don't have
the time to spend, why not think pink
- Pink Tie, that is.
The Pink Tie Friends are a wonder-
ful local organization which helps
raise funds to assist women and men
diagnosed with breast cancer and
undergoing treatment.
Pink Tie Friends help provide
funding for mammograms and
treatment for individuals with no
insurance coverage.
The group offers support, encour-
agement and financial assistance to
individuals who might otherwise be
forced to choose between life-saving
medicine and food for their families.

Feng shui columnist


reyoubeginningto
panic with the
holidays looming
in the near distance? Do
you get weary just
thinking about holiday
shopping, entertaining,
crowds and the expense?
Or, have you learned to
proceed peacefully
through the holiday
season using feng shui as
your guide?
The holiday season
does not need to be
hectic, harried or harass-


ing. Ideally, you should be
able to enjoy the hustle
and bustle, while being in
complete control of
yourself and your
surroundings.
If just the thought of the
holiday season leaves you
annoyed, aggravated and
stressed out, feng shul just
might be your answer.

Ways to reduce
holiday stress
1. Stop procrastinating,
worrying and fretting.
Begin now. In the world of
feng shui, this would fall
into the category of un-
cluttering. Now is the time
to organize your thinking,
develop your plans and
get the process rolling.
Temporarily put aside
things that can wait until
after the holidays, so they
don't silently nag for
attention while you are
busy doing those neces-
sary things to have a
happy, successful holiday
season.


2. Make lists today or
this weekend to get on
track and stay there.
Create a gift list and carry
it with you so you can
refer to it at moment's
notice and purchase
items as you see them.
You will save time. You
will also save money,
because you will be less
likely to do impulse
shopping.
As you check off each
purchase, your stress level
will turn into a smile.
Make a food list and buy
those extra things that are
not perishable over the
next several weeks. Place
perishables on a "buy
when needed" list that
includes the date
required.
3. Un-clutteryour
home now, so there is
ample room for holiday
flowers, garlands and
decorations. Get rid of all
of the stacks of stuff
you've accumulated
during the last 12 months.
Don't just move it.

Tainted toys may still be on lists despite recent recalls


BY SARAH STOVER
Staffwriter
After recent recalls of various toys
due to high lead levels, one toy
manufacturer has improved its
production and testing procedures in
time for the holiday season.
"We feel confident that the Mattel
toys on shelves this holiday season
are some of the safest, most thor-
oughly tested toys ever," says Mattel's
Web site.
Those with toys on their shopping
lists this holiday season, though,
should be aware of the recalls.
Toys such as Barbie Girls, U.B.
Funkeys, Puppy Grows & Knows your
Name and Hot Wheels Dragon Fire
track set, are topping "must-have
holiday lists," according to a press
release sent out by Mattel on Oct. 1.
However, withrecalls of toys such as
"Sarge" die cast toy cars, Go Diego Go
boat toys, various Barbie accessories
and various Fisher-Price Sesame
Street and Dora the Explorer items
over the past four months, due to a
possibility of the toys having exces-
sive lead levels, safety is undoubtedly
on parents' minds.


The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission recalls products "that
present a significant risk to con-
sumers, either because the product
may be defective or violates a manda-
tory standard issued by CPSC,"
according to the CPSC's Web site.
The CPSC has set a maximum
regulatory level of 0.06 percent for
the amount of lead that can be
present in paint on a toy.
Although the press releases
announcing the recalls of the above-
mentioned toys did not disclose any
lead levels found in samples of the
toys, each release for those items
stated there had been no injuries or
incidents reported regarding the toys.
After the company learned some
toys had higher than the allowed level
of lead, it recalled other toys it felt
might also have higher levels and
tested them.
"Even with this massive testing
program and cautious approach to
identifying non-compliant products,
we have recalled, due to lead paint,
less than one half of 1 percent of the
toys that we've produced over the last
12 months," Mattel's CEO Robert
Eckert told the Senate Committee on


Appropriations Subcommittee on
Financial Services and General
Government and the subcommittee
on commerce, trade, and consumer
protection of the Committee on
Energy and Commerce in September.
To put it in perspective: Mattel and
its vendors make close to 800 million
products annually, but the small
percentage was still too much for Mr.
Eckert, who is also a father of four
children.
"I'd rather that number was zero,"
he said.
After tests this summer for lead
levels on some toys failed to comply
with the standards, Mattel investigat-
ed and found that vendors or subcon-
tractors violated the company's "well-
established rules" orwere careless in
other cases, according to Mr. Eckert's
testimony.
The toy company reviewed its
three-point safety check system and
strengthened it in response to what
they found during the investigation.
Prior to this summer's recalls, ven-
dors could use paint from one of
Mattel's Asia Pacific Sourcing's
qualified paint suppliers, or could
buy from other suppliers if they met


additional rules. Vendors could also
use subcontractors to help them
produce the items.
Samples of each toy produced were
tested before the product could be
shipped and after certification,
vendors were not allowed to change
locations, materials or components.
Following the investigation, the
check system was tweaked. Some of
the changes include: paint must now
only be purchased from a certified
paint supplier and must be re-tested
before it is used on toys. The paint on
samples of produced toys is tested for
lead, either by Mattel's laboratories
or laboratories certified by Mattel.
The company has also increased
the frequency of random, unan-
nounced inspections of its vendors
and subcontractors. Also, any ven-
dors that use subcontractors must
now test samples of components
from the subcontractor before using
them.
Besides lead levels, other toys, such
as Doggie Day Care items, Polly
Pocket play sets and Batman action
figures, were recalled for magnets

The Jeweled Mermaid


offers a holiday with'bling'


BY ANNE-MARIE MENHENOTT
For Hometown News

When thoughts of Christmas are
swimming in your head, usually Mer-
maids, even ones adorned with
Swarovski crystals, don't come to mind.
But in Jensen Beach, The Jeweled
Mermaid has a different idea.
The unique store, nestled in the heart
of downtown, is full of one-of-a-kind
ways to please that special someone.
"We've got Mermaids and we've got
bling," said store owner and artist Dar-
lene Harris. "We're the 'bling' queens.
We put 'bling' on everything from sun-
glasses to shoes to baby items."
Ms. Harris opened The Jeweled Mer-
maid in 2006 and quickly moved into a
bigger studio that could accommodate
larger class sizes.
"We had a smaller place, but people
insisted that we teach classes. They are
really popular. We don't just have bead
classes, we offer all types of art classes.
Local artists come in and show off their
stuff. It's a lot of fun," she said.


Ms. Harris, a certified art clay silver
instructor, also teaches off-loom bead-
ing, wire wrapping, and wire crochet
techniques.
The store carries vintage and con-
temporary Swarovski crystal, which is
used to enhance the jewelry that is
made in the shop.
The mermaids are a focal point of the
store, and come in all shapes and sizes.
"We have a mermaid the size of a
three-year-old all the way to Barbie doll
size ones. But we also have custom-
made jewelry, handbags, fused glass,
enamel, and offer all kinds of classes,"
said Ms. Harris.
There are hundreds of different types
of beads to choose from in the store,
and classes are offered in which items
like necklaces, earrings, and bracelets
can be made. There are also art clay
classes, and classes that introduce
fused glass art.
The shop features local artists who
teach classes to Girl Scout troops and

that the museum's Christmas
atmosphere is a perfect example of
what makes Martin County so spe-
cial during the holidays.
"It's still an old small town, old
Florida-feeling Christmas," she said.
To keep the children occupied
through the holidays, the Parks and
Recreation Department of the city
of Stuart offers the Flagler Holiday
Camp from Dec. 24-Jan. 4 (exclud-
ing Christmas and New Year's days)
in downtown Stuart. From 7:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m., youngsters can enjoy
arts and crafts, a drum workshop,
holiday cooking classes, movies,
bowling and much more, enabling
the grownups to have more time to
themselves during the holidays.
Cost is $60 a week per child.
Every community in the county
offers something special during the
Christmas season. Both Hobe
Sound and Indiantown have Christ-
mas parades on Dec. 1, with the for-
mer getting underway at 11 a.m.
downtown and the latter starting off
at 3 p.m. at Big Mound Park. Hobe
Sound's festivities are an all-day
affair, which includes the Hobe


Sound Stroll and Art Walk from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m.
To savor the cuisine of one of
Martin County's unique communi-
ties, make plans to participate in
the Taste of Jensen Beach Dec. 4.
For a cost of $20, guests can try the
delicacies and creations of various
local restaurants from 5:30 to 8:30
p.m. in downtown Jensen Beach.
Visitors to Treasure Coast Square
in Jensen Beach can even introduce
Fido and Fifi to Santa Claus this
year. Mall guests can bring their
pets for photographs with Santa
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 26,
Dec. 3 and Dec. 10. Registration is
required (772) 692-9401 and owners
and pets must enter through the
mall entrance near Borders.
And for a real treat for the kids on
Dec. 15, make plans to attend the
Winter Carnival at Halpatiokee
Regional Park southwest of Stuart
near Kanner Highway and Lost
River Road. They'll be six tons of
snow for sledding and snowball
fights, as well as a Santa's Workshop,
gingerbread house and North Pole
gift shop.

coming loose. If children swallow
more than one magnet, the magnets
can attract each other and cause
intestinal perforation or blockage, as
stated on press releases announcing
recalled items.
Mattel has changed the design of
toys to lock the magnets in so they
cannot be easily detached.
When toys are recalled, parents
usually receive a replacement toy or
a voucher for the price of the item,
according to Mattel's and the CSPC's
Web sites.

Even elders are catching video game bug


FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

Playing video games at 50?
How can that be?
Today's video games are easier,
more fun and more beneficial to your
mind and body than you might think.
As video game consoles have
evolved from toys to sophisticated
machines, the video game consumer
demographic has expanded beyond
its original base of kids and teenagers
to include adults young and old -
alike.
The games you can play are based
on the type of console you have, like
VHS or Beta movies used to be. There
is the Nintendo Wii (pronounced
wee) console, the Xbox 360 from
Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 (PS3)
from Sony. Console prices range from
$250 to $479, and game prices start at
around $70.
The Wii is in fact, very popular at
retirement communities around the
country, and is also being used by
hospitals and rehabilitation centers
as an integral part of assisting the
recovery efforts of stroke victims.
Because the Wii uses human move-
ment to control video games rather


than just button-pushing, it is a huge
hit with people who have never
played games before, and is also why
it is finding practical applications as
well.
The games played on the Wii
console are traditional sports games
very familiar to the 50-and-over
generation: golf, tennis, bowling,
baseball and boxing, and the move-
ments associated with each of those
sports are mimicked by the players,
using the controller. No couch
potatoes allowed in these games -
players are required to get up and
actively participate and even work up
a sweat. The International Sports
Sciences Association has credited the
Wii console games as creating a fresh
fitness wave called "exertainment"
and said that it is a good thing for
people of all ages.
For those who remember the rock'n
roll days of their youth, Guitar Hero
III or Rock Band is a great game to
play. This is played on the PS3 orXbox
360 console. Rather than playing air
guitar or substituting household
items for instruments, the Guitar
Hero controller is a plastic guitar that
is used to play along with your
favorite song, scoring points for each


note correctly played. Style points are
added for showmanship, so you can
still show off your best rock star
moves. And the song selections by
bands from "back in the day" are sure
to make you feel young again.
For the more serious-minded, there
are "full mental training" games such
as Big Brain Academy, which is played
on a handheld device called the DS,
also made by Nintendo, that costs
about $150. This game includes a
series of exercises that are designed to
stimulate your mind with problem-
solving and creative mental exercises,
and claims that regular play can
actually increase your IQ. Or at least
keep it from diminishing.
Business travelers will thoroughly
enjoy the PSP, also a handheld device,
made by Sony that costs about $170. In
addition to playing games, you can
watch movies and listen to music on
your PSP, making long plane rides or
airport waiting time much more
pleasant.
These are popular games for all age
groups, so be prepared to impress your
kids and grandkids with your hip new
hobby. Be the first on your block to
start playing video games and then
invite all of your friends over for some
"good times," as the children say.

Stress
From page 10


Actually look at it and either file
it, store it or get rid of it. If you
haven't used it in 12 months do
you really need to keep it? The
more clutter-free your home is,
the more enjoyable and calm
the holidays will be.
4. Determine today, right
now, the single most important
thing you want to do or person
you want to see that will make
your holidays perfect. Put this
one thing at the top of your to-
do list, and then do it first.
Everything else should take
second place to that one thing.
If you do just that one thing and
accomplish few others you will
feel the holiday season was a
complete success and filled
with joy.
5. Fill the kitchen with
aromas and scents that fondly
remind you of Christmas past,
such as home-baked goods
and mulled cider. They will
.r roviderou a sense of lo e and
_.pri rtpfhiioigl memories of
..fa~iily&A friends gadteted
together:lt doesn't matter
whether you are a gourmet chef
or never set foot in the kitchen.
What matters are the feelings
evoked by the fragrances. Use


scented candles if necessary to
create the feelings of abun-
dance and cheer. Bum those
candles daily in a safe contain-
er.
6. Play the music of the
season. Begin today if you like.
The holiday season is filled with
some of the most joyous
uplifting and encouraging
music ever composed, yet it is
relegated to a few 30 days in our
calendar year. Play it while
making lists, un-cluttering the
house, wrapping gifts, calling
friends, entertaining and
preparing those special foods.
Allow those wonderful sounds
to permeate your heart and
soul. Stress is nowhere to be
found when the heart is joyful.
7. Do something kind for
yourself. So often we think of
everyone else during this
season, but forget to take care
of ourselves. You need to be
nurtured and receive love right
along with all of those other
special people in your life. Buy
yourself a gift, spend a day at a
day spa, sit down and watch a
favorite holiday movie, read
old-time holiday classic stories
to the children, take a long hot


shower. Do something that will
bring you joywhile the hectic
holiday season races by.
Reflect on the goodness of
your life, meditate and be
grateful for all things present
and past. Look to the future
and dare to dream.
Stress abounds during such
a busy time of the year.
Everyone is in a hurry and
tends to have a short fuse,
including family members,
friends and your boss, so stress
levels go up and up.
Eliminate stress for good
making this a hassle-free
season for you by un-clutter-
ing both your surroundings
and thinking. Then make lists
so you can be organized,
efficient and use your time and
money very effectively.
Following these steps will
make your holidays less
stressful and much more
joyful.

Volunteering
From page 10

dent of the organization, there are
lots of ways to help the Pink Tie
Friends.
"In addition to supporting the
fashion shows, luncheons, annual
Pink Tie Gala and many other
fundraising activities of the organiza-
tion, the group produces an annual
calendar featuring women and men
of the community who are battling or
have survived breast cancer," she
said.
For a very reasonable price, you can
purchase copies of this amazing and
local calendar for your friends,
business associates and anyone in
need of inspiration even you!
The 2008 calendar features the
photography of Hometown News
Chief Photographer, Mitch Kloorfain,
who worked with each of the 'models'
to find out what passions motivated
and inspired them during their battle
with the deadly disease.
Ms. Harrison says this year, Jewelry
Design Studio of Jensen Beach, a
long-time sponsor of Pink Tie Friends
activities, designed and donated two
gorgeous bejeweled Pink Tie
bracelets crusted pink sapphires and
diamonds. "One bracelet is in white
gold and one in yellow gold," she
said.
Each one-of-a-kind bracelet is


valued at $3,700 and only 500
chances are available to win the
bracelets, which will be raffled off a
special party and drawing on Nov. 30,
at Jewelry Design Studios at 6 p.m.
"If you have someone in your life
who's had breast cancer," said Ms.
Harrison, "this is like buying a lottery
ticket for them and what a perfect
way to show their support for victory
over breast cancer."
To see the bracelets, buy chances or
order calendars, stop by the Pink Tie
Friends Web site at
www.pinktiefriends. org, or you can
purchase tickets at BloomingDeals
Consignment Shop and Jewelry
Design Studios.
Is food more your passion?
If so, why not consider sponsoring
the cost of a meal each month for any
of the many local feeding programs,
including the Cafe, now situated in its
new home on Avenue D in Fort
Pierce, or making a regular donation
of food or finances in honor of your
loved one or business associate to
Mustard Seed Ministries in Martin
County or the Treasure Coast Food
Bank that serves Martin, St. Lucie,
and Indian River counties?
These wonderful programs work
hard all year long to provide nutri-
tious food and emergency assistance
to thousands of families and individ-
uals in our community.
This year, more than ever before,
there is an increase in the number of


'working poor' on the Treasure Coast
- families and individuals who are
working hard, but are just unable to
make ends meet because of job loss,
layoffs, the sagging construction
market, illness or tragedy.
Most Americans live one or two
paychecks away from being in this
situation themselves, and what better
way to instill a sense of sharing and
community in your own family or
company than to help provide the
most basic need food, for members
of the community who are in crisis.
SafeSpace, the shelter and resource
center for victims, female and male,
of domestic violence and their
children, is always in great need of
simple things like toothbrushes,
personal hygiene products, dispos-
able diapers, blankets and even new
clothing for women and children who
have been forced to flee their homes
without the luxury of packing.
Something as simple as a pair of
drugstore eyeglasses goes a long, long
way for a woman who has fled a
dangerous situation and is trying to
start over with a new job, new atti-
tude and a new, safe life.
There's something about the
holidays that brings out the best in
every one of us, young and old, rich
and poor.
For some it's a renewal of faith, for
some a chance to become an example
for children and grandchildren and
for some it's simply a matter of that


feeling that grabs us all during the
holiday season the spirit of giving.
Even the coldest and meanest
among us seems to soften at least a
tiny bit during the season of giving
and sharing.
Take, for example Dr. Seuss's classic
great green meanie, the Grinch,
whose revelation came high atop
Mount Crumpet.
'And the Grinch, with his Grinch-
feet ice cold in the snow, stood
puzzling and puzzling, how could it
be so? It came without ribbons. It
came without tags. It came without
packages, boxes or bags. And he
puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler
was sore. Then the Grinch thought of
something he hadn't before. What if
Christmas, he thought, doesn't come
from a store? What if Christmas,
perhaps, means a little bit more?"
