County

considers

cutbacks
BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
STUART Martin
County commissioners
heard the worst-case sce-
nario from Sheriff Robert
Crowder and other depart-
ment heads about the pos-
sible effects of the upcom-
ing property tax reform
referendum on Jan. 29.
Commissioners met
with top county managers
and constitutional officers
on Nov. 19 to hear how the
potential loss of $19 mil-
lion from county coffers
may affect each depart-
ment's budget. Each man-
ager had been asked to
show how a 12 or 13 per-
cent revenue decrease
would affect his or her
department's services.
Among the considera-
tions put forth by the sher-
iff and the Martin County
Fire-Rescue Division was
the loss of 30 deputies and
20 firefighters, respectively,
with the potential budget
cuts.
Sheriff Crowder said that
voters needed to know the
possible ramification of
approving the referendum,
but Commissioner Lee
Weberman responded that
it was premature to talk
about such cuts.

Although followed by cam-

planning their odyssey

Retired Army Lt. Col.Victor
Kruse simply wanted to see
more of the country he spent
his life defending as a career
soldier and find the perfect

From page Al


7, in the starring roles of
"Krusing America."
The Kruses have already
passed through 40 different
states and are close to wind-
ing up their adventure of find-
ing the most livable small-
town community in the
country.
Victor and Linda Kruse
themselves grew up on a
variety of army bases
around the world. As young-
sters, they would often won-
der what real towns would
look like or where they
would live when they grew
up, since they had no roots.
Since Victor Kruse fol-
lowed in his father's foot-
steps and became a soldier,
he never has really lived out-
side a base environment.
Now that he's retired from
the service, he's looking for
his image of what a real
hometown should be.
When planning the towns
the family would visit along
the way for the show, the
Kruse siblings discovered
they both liked the same
things. The community need-
ed to be within a short driving
distance to a larger metropol-
itan area and have what they
refer to as a "main street."


"We both like history, and
there's a lot of history here in
Stuart," Ms. Kruse said. "We
also like towns with a strong
culture and arts section."
But it was still the "main
street" idea that convinced
her to include Stuart in "Krus-
ing America."
"I came to a children's pro-
duction at the Lyric Theatre a
couple years ago, and I
thought to, 'what a cool
street,", she said, referring to
Osceola Street.
Her brother, Victor, empha-
sized that the only part of the
United States he remembers
from childhood was the self-
contained small town com-
munity of an army base in
Kentucky. That's the image
that's coloring his search
today.
"That's what I'm comfort-
able with, and that's what I'm
used to," he said.
The Kruses met while he
was stationed in Germany
and she was working as a con-
tract nurse for the army. After
they married, the army trans-
ferred them back to the states
where both their children
were born, but later sent them
to Kuwait, and ultimately, to
Egypt.


"Here you have all of the fun stuff, but you
have the serious stuff too. That's what is nice
about Stuart... Think its a place you can actu-
ally live"


Victor Kruse
Reality show contestant
Mrs. Kruse said that she
and Victor had been planning
their journey for a long time
as a way in which to recon-
nect with far-flung family
members and military friends
made overseas. But the goal
always was to look for a home.
Although they can't reveal
their favorite town until the
show airs next fall, they both
said that Stuart and Martin
County offer a lot of what
they're searching for.
"I think that one of the'
things we've liked is the
diversity of the people here,"
Mrs. Kruse said. "There are a
lot of transplants here, and
wherever we go, we'll be
transplants."
Mr. Kruse emphasized
that the city of Stuart offered
a practical side in addition
to the attractions enjoyed by
tourists.


"Here you have all of the
fun stuff, but you have the
serious stuff too," he said.
"That's what is nice about
Stuart... I think it's a place
you can actually live."
While exploring the area,
the Kruse family took part in
many of the activities enjoyed
by both residents and visitors,
including a stroll along the
RiverWalk in downtown Stu-
art; savoring the rich delights
at Kilwins Chocolates on
Osceola Street (and making
their own fudge!); visiting the
House of Refuge on Hutchin-
son Island; and horseback
riding at Frederick Douglass
Memorial Park.
While in Stuart, the family
and film crew of "Krusing
America" also visited the Rare
Earth Gallery, where the
Kruse children practiced

Retired Special Forces
group meets in Jensen Beach

More than 60 retired members of the U.S. Army Spe-
cial Forces, also known as the "Green Berets," met in
Jensen Beach Nov. 15-17 as members of the Treasure
Coast Chapter LXXXV of the Special Forces.
For the sixth year in a row, members of the group met
at the Palm Fish Camp on the shores of the Indian River
in Jensen Beach to tell stories, reminisce and enjoy each
other's company.
One of the founding members of the local chapter, Sgt.
Major Richard Loehr, said the group has members that
come from as far away as Homestead. They now meet
twice a year, with the Jensen Beach meeting held in the
fall and a meeting in Ocala held in the spring.

Atlantic Ridge State Park
begins allowing limited access

More than seven years after the state and Martin
County bought the 6,000-acre parcel of land destined to
become Atlantic Ridge State Park, the public will finally
be provided with limited access via the Paulson Road
entrance off Cove Road.
The park manager for both Atlantic Ridge and
Jonathan Dickson State Park, Mark Nelson, said the pub-
lic must first visit Jonathan Dickson and purchase either
a day or annual pass to receive the lock combination for
the Paulson Road gate. The state came up with the tem-
porary solution at the request of area equestrians and
others who wanted to utilize the park while parking lots
and other amenities are still in the works.

Judge sentences Stuart man
to 45 years for arson and burglary

Paul Gilbert Mead, 58, of Stuart, was sentenced to 45
years in prison by Circuit Judge Larry Shack on Nov. 19.
Mr. Mead was convicted by a jury in October of the
arson and burglary of a Hobe Sound residence.
According to Assistant State Attorney David Lust-
garten, Mr. Mead had 11 prior convictions for arson, bur-
glary, firearms violations and violation of probation. He
will not be eligible for parole for at least 38 years.

Correction

Due to an editing error in the Nov. 16 edition of the
Hometown News the following items need to be clarified
in the story titled "Indiantown treatment facility offers
new hope for mentally ill." The center is restricted to
male patients only and is not open to females.
Also, in a discussion on keeping patients at the facility
against their will, the hospital has two options for hold-
ing such individuals. One is the Baker Act and the other
is Florida's statute 916. Florida's Statute 916 is a law the
courts use to hold dangerous patients for long periods of
time. The Baker Act is used to hold patients for a three-
day assessment period when they are considered an
i"nediate danger to themselves or others.
SWe regret any confusion these errors may have caused.

adjustments, but it takes a
lot of effort. The girls have to
buy into the fact that you
have to have multiple
offenses. and multiple
defenses.
"We knew the road to
state would go through Car-
dinal Gibbons."
Meeting in the friendly
confines of the Falcons'
gymnasium, Jensen Beach
turned to one of its veterans
- senior Rachel Mont-
gomery to help lead the
way. Serving in the decisive
fifth and final game, Mont-
gomery ignited a 10-point
run to seal the 25-20, 23-25,
19-25, 25-22, 15-5 win.
"She's a leader on the
floor," Sawtelle said. "She's a
comfort that the girls need-
ed on the floor get Rachel
the ball and she'll take care
of the offense."
The win was extra special
for Montgomery since she
was sidelined for last sea-
son's regional final match
with Gibbons after ruptur-
ing an ankle ligament 13
games into the season.
"We all worked very hard,"
Montgomery said. 'After last
year making it to the region-
al finals, it gave us confi-
dence going into this year."
After dispatching Gib-
bons, the Falcons took on
Jacksonville-Bishop Kenny
in the Class 4A state semi-
final. Like its encounter
with Gibbons, Jensen
Beach found itself in a fifth
game battling for its play-
off life.
"That was an amazing
match," Sawtelle said.
"Each team won (the
previous) game by a large
margin.
"The first game we were
the ones that were on.
When we're doing that
we're very good."
The Falcons fell behind
12-11 in the final game
before a kill by Sarah Wick-
strom as well as a kill and
block by Brett Benzio put
Jensen Beach on the verge,
of victory.

throwing pottery with gallery
owner David Horowitz.
AnnaMarie; 9, said mak-
ing a grip mug and a bowl
at Rare Earth was one of the
most interesting things
they did while in Stuart.
"This is fun because I
love pottery, AnnaMarie
said. "In Egypt, I made
three pots."
Anthony, 7, seemed even
more excited about going
to Hutchinson Island after-
wards, where he and his
father planned on building
a huge sandcastle big
enough to go inside, he
said.


Mr. Horowitz said it was
an honor to have the show
and the family highlight his
gallery as a special attrac-
tion in Stuart.
"Rare Earth is a reflection
of our town," he said. "(It
represents) independence,
hard-work, reliance and
participation within a tight-
knit community, as well as
a great appreciation for the
natural beauty around us."
The Oklahoma native
explained that he learned
the art of pottery the year
he graduated from college,
but pursued a corporate
career in the telecommuni-
cations industry until
stumbling upon the Rare
Earth gallery on a business
trip. He purchased the
gallery in 2005 and moved
from South Florida to pur-
sue his first love.
"The setting of Stuart just
made it an easy decision for
me," he said. "I find Stuart
to be a warm-hearted and
well-balanced... between
charm and sophistication,
growth and preservation,
arts and business, snow-
birds and locals."
The Martin County Con-
vention and Visitors Bureau
worked hand-in-hand with
the show's producer to help
orchestrate the family's
visit and film sites. Stuart
and Martin County have
received national exposure
before, the bureau's execu-
tive director Terri Mon-
aghan said, but she empha-
sized that this show had a
unique angle.
"I think it's really exciting
- their approach is sort of
a slice of life," she said.
"They're trying to show the
best of everything here. By
the time- they're done,
they're going to have com-
prehensive slice of all the
best parts of Martin Coun-
ty. And that's something
that attracts visitors year-
round."

was really good. Everything
was working."
After Bishop Kenny pulled
back within one, Leyna
Lloyd finished off the 25-12,
13-25, 25-19, 15-25, 15-13
win with a devastating kill
down the middle.
"It went back and forth,"
Sawtelle said. "We

"It just happened we fin-

After the exhausting victo-
ry, the Falcons had a short
time to regroup before tak-
ing on Lemon Bay for the
title the following day. After
going to the limits in its two
previous matches, Jensen
Beach left nothing to
chance in the finale, sweep-
ing Lemon Bay 25-14, 25-16,
28-26 to bring the trophy
back home.
"We were so excited to be
in that final. match,"
Sawtelle said. "We knew we
had the opportunity to win."
"That was a very smart
team. Our girls just put it in
their head not to allow the
ball to hit the floor."
Wickstrom, the only
freshman on the team,
played a key role in the win,
setting up her teammates 18
times.
"(Lemon Bay) was a strong
team," Wickstrom said.
"They were very scrappy.
"We just came out strong."
Despite losing several star
players in Benzio, Mont-
gomery, Jessie Kubiak, Jenny
Lewis and Meg Jett, the Fal-
cons are loaded with talent
and primed for a possible
repeat.
"Next year, we have a good
chance to win it again,"
Wickstrom said. "We're pret-

Her coach excitedly
agrees.
"We are very blessed to

Keep it simple

The Cove Road Publix Shopping Center is being remod-
eled and in the mean time, simple black and white signs
with plain printing have replaced the signs in front of the
stores.
I don't know about you but to me it is such a refreshing
feeling to see just simple signs that get right to the point. It
makes me realize just how stressful it is to go into all the
other shopping centers where all the signs have "attention
grabbing" features. When I am reading the signs and look-
ing for a particular store I really don't need or want or
appreciate the other signs distracting my attention, espe-
cially when I am driving in a parking lot where people and
children are walking.
It is my hope that the Cove Road landlord considers ask-
ing the tenants to leave their simple, black and white signs
up.
That would really show community support and love.

Get your priorities in order, Martin County


,--- --- -cj


6Q;602


The fact that over 80 people in Martin County govern-
ment make over $100,000 proves that Martin County is out
of touch with the working people of this community. It is
becoming harder for working families to make ends meet.
Hunger and poverty are often hidden from view in Martin
County.
However, I would like to invite County Administrator
Duncan Ballantyne, and other administrators types to visit
the gritty working class neighborhoods like Indiantown,
Salerno, Golden Gate, and parts of Jensen Beach, and
explain to homeowners why their administrator needs to
make over $100,000 a year. We would like to know why the
county couldn't afford basic services like parks mainte-
nance, library staff and lifeguards, but they can produce
money for bloated salaries for bureaucrats that produce
nothing.

Sticking up for teachers

To the author of the "Teacher's Pay," it does not matter
what you call them.
If it were not for a teacher you would not have a place for
you child to go during the day while you work. Of course,
you would never understand the amount of time and effort
teachers put into their profession. Yes it does cost money to
get any kind of education. You must have had a teacher who
taught you how to read and write and do math. I know I did
and believe you me it was rough, with sometimes as many
as 35 children in a class.
Thanks to people like you there are those who must think
that educators do nothing. Please volunteer in a public
:school:for a year and see what it is like before your next
Rant-N-Rave. I hope that you do not have children or
grandchildren who want and need an education.
Perhaps you are independently wealthy and did not need
an education to do whatever work you do or do not do.
Before you blast teachers and their salaries, think about
how you came by your education.
Remember, most teachers are happy doing their jobs.
Going north has nothing at all to do with anything; neither
does what an assistant principal does with her or his money'
for the people they work with. I suggest you get a life in the
real world.

The economy is getting worse

We have a national debt of over nine trillion dollars with a
.trade deficit of over 5 trillion (goods we trade around
.world). Only China sells us junk and buys very little in
'return. Instead, they use our dollars to buy one corporation
in the U.S. everyday. How much longer can this go on with
our dollar worth seventy-five cents and falling?
With over 50 percent of our industry moved to foreign
countries (the most recent being Hershey's Chocolate; lay-
ing off 10 thousand workers and moving to Mexico) I thank
the Hometown News for letting us view our opinions and
good news shows like Lou Dobbs, Beck, & C Span on T.V.
This once great country must move back from third-world
status.

Don't panic about prices at the pump

Every day there is a consumer, usually at a pump, com-
plaining about the high price of gasoline. If it weren't so
pathetic, it would be amusing. Some have said they can't
afford to feed their family because of the skyrocketing
prices.
One said she is using money from her grandson's college
fund to fill her tank.
Lets get back to reality. If gas jumped 10 cents from last
week, filling your 10-gallon tank, and getting 30 miles per
gallon, you would have spent one dollar more than the pre-
vious week. In going three miles, it would cost an
extra penny (hardly worth stooping over to pick up). I
don't like the trend, but let's look at the expense of owning a
car.
Having the privilege of ownership will cost you at least


$600 a month. Insurance, car payment, tags, and mainte-
nance contribute a great deal more than what we pay at the
pump.
Possibly the hype is that the evening news leading story is
that oil is approaching $100 a barrel. It is also the fact that
we pass gas stations every day with a new higher price. If
tomatoes were shown to be three times what they were last
week (they are), with such a display, we might be more
aware of other factors in our economy.
We're spending our way into oblivion. Both federal and
private individuals are to blame. As to the lady spending her
grandson's college money at the pump; we need to look at
our more serious problems.

Follow all traffic rules

To the author of "Obey the speed limit," You want to talk
about obeying the law? The law also says, "Keep right except
to pass."
The sign doesn't say, "Keep right except to pass, unless
you're already doing the speed limit," so practice what you
preach.
Just because the speed limit is 70 mph and a motorist is
driving 70 mph, it still doesn't give them the
right to stay in the left lane, yes, the passing lane, and then
complain about people coming too close to their rear
bumper because they refuse to move over.
Whether there is a sign posted or not, if there's more than
one lane then the left lane is always the passing lane. There,
can be no exception to this unless clearly posted by signs.
Otherwise, you are promoting chaos.
And make sure to use signals.
You are not the police' neither are you deputized to0
enforce traffic law each tirne you get behind the wheel. You:
are to keep right except to pass at all times to facilitate traffic ;
flow and for everyone's safe y,
You do not have the right to impede the flow of traffic -
you're not allowed to play "block that car." It is attitudes and
actions like these that generate road rage in some people.
For your information, wlie you're holding up "speeders,"
those cars '
that want to go faster arelstacking up behind you, I'm sure
often enough, a bit too close together. This is a potentially
dangerous situation and you would be the one directly
causing it. I'm not condoning speeding at all, but neither do
I condone driving in a manner that exacerbates
the problem and can cause accidents itself.
If someone is exceeding the speed limit, that's their indi-
vidual decision to make and quite frakldy, in any given situ-
ation, you have no idea why this person is driving faster
than 70 miles per hour. It could be for any number of rea-
sons where people would say, "Well then I understand, just
be careful."
And we all know that we can "safely" exceed the speed
limit by a few mph without threat of a speeding ticket, so I
fear your position is untenable.
The bottom line is driving is about courtesy and being
predictable. We know what you're supposed to do, the
problem is when people don't do it because they think
they're some kind of enforcer.

Stop stealing cans
Who is the some one going around stealing cans out of
the recycle:bins? They are or think they are clever. They take
them at night. They must be pretty hard up.

The news is depressing
It is depressing to read the stories in the newspapers and
see them on TV about abuse of children and animals. Just
this week, two stories were about a 25-year-old female with
three, small children living in filth with many animals,
including a pig, living among filth and animal feces.
The taxpayers, in many cases remove children from these
situations, unfortunately, in lieu of the taxpayer's expenses,
some of these children are given over to a grandparent,


which is arguable since the grandparents haven't interceded
to help the children previously. That doesn't make sense. As
for the animals, the problem is being solved by some states,
including California, which finally is working to pass a
mandatory spay / neuter law. This is the honest and reliable
way to prevent much animal abuse in Florida and in all our
states.
A mandatory spay/neuter law will reach into the dark
recesses rescuing animals from situation in which it is diffi-
cult to do anything without this type of law.
The deliberate breeders, and backyard breeders, and
snake breeders who rely on kittens as food for their snakes,
and all those who don't show concern for animals will find
the spotlight on them with a mandatory spay law. Such a
law is not a license fee law.
A license fee law is very limited in its scope to prevent
over-breeding and animal abuse. Citizens in Florida should
elect their lawmakers based on their compassion for chil-
dren and animals. Don't you agree?

A response to PETA

This is in response to the rant about PETA is not a panifier.
First of all, many times I find out that people really don't
know about the organization, People for the Ethical Treat-
ment of Animals, and it is the same with this letter writer,
because this person didn't even know what the acronym
PETA meant. I really encourage people to learn about this
wonderful organization that is on the front lines fighting
worldwide animal abuse and slaughter for profits. As for
animal rescue, no, PETA's focus is not on sheltering.animals
because the last thing we need is another animal rescue
organization. We need to seek out the existing ones.and
check out that they haven't turned into theocracies that rely
on more and more animals coming through their doors. A
system that makes money on animals that comes, through
their doors isn't the one that we want to stop the flow. One of
PETA's missions is to stop the current need for animal shel-
ters. Follow the flow of money, and you'll see whom truly
profits.

What happened to remembering Kennedy?

I do not wish to sound critical, but it is often said that we
are the country that never forgets. Nov. 22 is the anniversary
of the day that day President Kennedy was assassinated.
Our local newspapers should be reprimanded for not
even having a column about it. They are too busy telling you
what stores are open and about Hannah Montana.
. And don't forget, all the stores are open at 4 a.m., wasting
gas that is too expensive and buying shirts that are made in
Pakistan, India, El Salvador, and China. Most of the Ameri-
can flags are made in the same places. The shirts with flags
on the front are made there. Keep up the good workAmeri-
ca. Some day you'll be working for them.
Rest in Peace John Kennedy. Some of us remember.

Who can I vote for?

Do any true Americans care about America?
We have people in Congress and the Senate and mayors of
our American cities wanting to give illegal criminals licens-
es.
We have poisonous products from communist China
infecting our children.
We have E. coli spreading across America in our food sup-
ply.
Our American jobs are outsourced; factories (are) closing
down.
Our borders were never closed after Sept. 11 and who
knows how many terrorists have entered America.
Mr. Bush, our president, who I voted and for which I apol-
ogize for, looks the other way.
All he cares about is making the corporate crooks richer
than the people of Iran.

Rants & Raves


From page A6
Our grandchildren will suffer in the future because of all
this.
There is not one Republican or Democrat worth voting for.
I pray there is an independent person I can vote for.
God bless my America.

Common sense solutions can fix problems

Here are some thoughts I would like to throw out.
What if people who can purchase property do? There are
some great buys out there. What if people who really don't
have to sell, take their property off the market?
What if real estate agents (reduced) their commissions?
What if sellers put realistic prices on their properties?
What if taxes were fairly projected for all people? What if
we made it a little easier to do business in Florida?
What if the news media was not all gloom and doom?
I'm sure the common sense people out there can add a
few more thoughts to these. Maybe, just maybe, Florida will
grow again instead of people going to Georgia and North
Carolina.
We have a beautiful state here. All states have problems,
but with some common sense, maybe we can make lemon-
ade out of our lemons.
Keep the faith.

It's time to think about our actions

It is time to get our heads on straight and (some) old tradi-
tion thinking.
The Muslim radicals want us dead. You do not like the
stand we're taking. If you feel so comfortable with that
crowd, send your kids over there to help out, daughters
included.
Those crazy Hollywood kids constantly making me want
to heave my morning caffeine. Now look at your own kids
and take the rose-colored glasses off. You try (to) substitute
objects for love. Having them buy their own car and insur-
ance might help. Love them enough to make them work.
Make them responsible. Praise them for good thinking when
called for. It is your behavior as parents that will determine
their futures.
NASA, for certain tasks (such as) satellites around the
Earth, the space agency is necessary. Yes, I know how many
jobs in this area depend on them (however) trips to the
moon and Mars are goofy. Who cares if there used to be
water on Mars a million years ago?
We have got to look at Earth first. This is where we live. I
don't care about finding a sun a million light years away.
How does that help us in any way? Think.
Our excess corn and wheat don't give it away; sell it. The
Japanese want our hardwoods for temple building. Make
them pay. Tell them to even up their patent laws. Level the
playing field. Fair is fair. Think. Write your senators. Think
about your next vehicle purchase as you are griping about
gas prices.
Please think of your actions. Think, think, think.

Defends Jenna Bush, the vice president

In the Rants & Raves column for today, Nov. 2, I read the
letter titled, "President's, vice president's family won't pay
price for mistakes."
I was wondering how many veterans and hospitals the let-
ter writer has visited. Seems to me he/she would do better to
put action before words. I bet the writer has never visited or
aided personally any veteran except maybe himself/herself.
Sad to say, it's a lot easier to criticize than to do things your-
self.
To say the least, the writer sounded jealous of the fact that
Jenna Bush does not have to worry where her next meal is
coming from. I don't find her situation a problem, rather an
example of the American way. We get what we are willing to


work for, and obviously her ancestors were workers, not
talkers. The results speak for themselves.
If a person is invited to guest on a program to discuss a
specific topic, the host is rude to try to make points for her-
self by trying to catch the person off guard by asking ques-
tions not related to the subject the guest was invited for.
Jenna Bush's responses show a maturity not found in the
host of the program. She was there for a specific reason, and
if the host had intended to use the guest spot for her politi-
cal party, she was way off the mark. I applaud Jenna Bush for
standing up to the host and not being swayed into making
personal comments, etc.
(As for) the comments in the letter pertaining to the vice
president and family, the writer seems very resentful (that)
Mrs. Cheney is looking forward to retirement and a life of
ease. I think the writer needs to get a life. Most Americans
work for the day they can retire. So what's wrong with that? I
am retired after 37 years of working, and I certainly looked
forward to the day I could retire and "watch the mountain."
I earned it, and so has Mr. Cheney. The writer will too
someday if he/she has a job and has a retirement plan. That
is an individual choice and takes preplanning.

Not many worthy enough to be president

Presidents leave legacies. Teaching in the public class-
room, one gets a clear perspective of the legacy of each
president.
Nixon left a legacy of anti-patriotism. There was so much
justified criticism because of his determination to win the
Vietnam War at the sacrifice of so many young American
lives. Then there was his refusal to grant amnesty to consci-
entious objectors. That was especially hypocritical because
as a Quaker, he was a conscientious objector himself. He
was in the Navy, but spent World War II stateside.
Any teacher of middle school children can tell you that
the Clinton legacy still is a problem. Although, with chil-
dren around, (it) will probably not specify what it is. The
public called for impeachment because he was such a pub-
lic disgrace and international embarrassment to all Ameri-
cans.
However, the Constitution only lists "accepting bribery,
treason and other high crimes against the state" as grounds
for impeachment. Nevertheless, do not underestimate the
stain that his activities have left in the hearts and minds of
our children.
I despair that the thrill of watching a presidential inaugu-
ration (such as) the 1960 Kennedy inauguration is gone for-
ever. I know the public was kept in the dark about his faults,
still, as a kid, I watched the whole inauguration with the rest
of the family. Every word that J.EK. spoke filled our hearts
with love, pride, faith, and hope for our country. We
watched for Jackie's white pill boxhat, which helped us spot
the limo with our new president. It grieves me that future
generations have yet to feel goose bumps from so much
pride.
Is it too late to find a candidate worthy of the office of
president of the United States?

Constitution does mention God

Someone wrote that the Constitution doesn't mention
God; but shortly after the prohibition of any religious test
(at the end of Article VI), after Article VII about ratification,
at the conclusion of the original Constitution were written
these words, "done in Convention by the Unanimous Con-
sent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of Septem-
ber in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
Eighty seven..."
So were official documents dated for (more than) a centu-
ry. No wonder the Supreme Court of the United States, even
a century after that, could affirm that this was a Christian
nation.

S ou may have read in
the newspaper a
couple of weeks ago
about a 94-year- old man
who hit a woman riding a
bicycle. It wasn't the
man's fault; the woman,
in her 50s, ran a stop
sign.
They put the old man
in jail overnight and he
was given probation
because he was driving
with no license. It had
been taken away because
he failed his driver's test.
He said he had to drive
because he had to take
his wife to the doctor and
pick up medicine for her.
There is another reason
that a lot of younger
people don't seem to
understand why this old
man still owned a car. If
you are one of these
people, think back to the
first time you ever drove
a car. Think back to the
time you owned your first
car. Can you recall that
wonderful feeling of
freedom? No longer did
mom or dad have to take
you to school, work, the
store or a friend's house.
Or, you didn't have to
take the bus, streetcar or
impose on a friend who
already owned a "free-
dom machine."
If you are a guy, do you
remember how you felt
when you first picked
your girlfriend up at her
home in your very own
car? I don't know about
you, but I still feel a
tingle when I think about
it. I really can't think of a
more memorable experi-
ence in any young
person's life. Your first
kiss is probably a close
second (My first car was a


A 'k


EARL STEWART
On Cars


1951 Pontiac Chieftain
and my first kiss was
from Mary Ann Riggle
during a "spin the bottle
game.)"
If you are one of those
younger people who
curse at that gray-haired
driver in front of you
because she is driving
too slowly, just-remember
that she is probably a
safer driver than you.
Newspapers like to
feature stories of senior
citizens having accidents
and questioning their
mental and physical
faculties for driving, but
insurance companies
charge senior citizens
lower premiums than
you. That means they
have fewer accidents and
cause fewer injuries.
Admittedly, that is
partly because we seniors
drive fewer miles but it's
also because most of us
drive slower and more
carefully than you.
My Uncle Charlie died
eight years ago. He was
94. My Aunt Marion died
within a year of Uncle
Charlie. They lived in the
same very modest, small
house onValencia Drive
in West Palm Beach for 50
years. But they always
owned a Cadillac and it
was always parked
outside in their driveway.
Up until the time they
were in their late 80s, the
highlight of their week
was to take a Sunday
drive in their shiny
Cadillac.

In fact, in a 2006 poll by

Juvenile Justice
may use old
county boot camp
At the request of Martin
County Sheriff Robert
Crowder, the state Depart-
ment of Juvenile Justice is
contemplating the use of
the county's old juvenile
boot camp as a new juvenile
detention facility for high-
riskyouth.
The boot camp for low-
and moderate-risk offend-
ers was shut down by the
sheriff last year after he was
unable to obtain an
increase in operating funds.
The state's agreement
with the county requires
that the county purchase
the state-owned structure,
and a new state program be
implemented in it or the
structure be demolished.
Sheriff Crowder asked the
juvenile justice department
to implement a new pro-
gram after county staff
rebuffed his efforts to pur-
chase the $935,000 building
for use as a training center.
If approved, the former
boot camp would house up
to 50 teenage boys, accord-
ing to the department's
assistant secretary of resi-
dential services Rex Uber-
man.

"There's a lot of time
between Jan. 29 and when we
start our first set of budget
hearings in July of next year,"
he said.
Commissioner Michael
DiTerlizzi said it would be up
to the people to decide if the
county should lay off
.deputies, and firefighters,
stop maintaining the roads or
shut down libraries and parks
on the weekends.
Most of the commissioners
are divided as to whether -the
referendum will actually pass,
but even if it fails, the county
will still see a reduction rang-
ing from $3 million to $9 mil-
lion due to previous property
tax reductions implemented
by the state legislature.
Commissioner Weberman
said that the county expand-
ed too quickly when the
money was rolling in, but that
now it's time to begin trim-
ming away the fat. The first
area he wants to consider
department head's salaries.
"I actually believe that we
are too top heavy in manage-
ment, and it's very expensive
management," he said. "I
think the county as a whole
needs to be run like a busi-
ness, and business is always
trying to bring in fresh blood
and cut expenses."
He added that the commis-
sioners needed to make the


"tough decisions" that will
bring the county back into the
*black.
CountyAdministrator Dun-
can Ballantyne came to the
defense of the county's
department heads, empha-
sizing that they have already
,taken a voluntary pay cut this
fiscal year.
"This is in addition to the
fact that health insurance
benefits were reduced and
none of the non-contractual
personnel received a cost of
living increase this fiscal year,"
he said.
Mr. Ballantyne added that
county could not continue to
be competitive in the job
market if it continues to hack
away at county managers' pay
and benefits.
"If Martin County gets the
reputation for reducing
department director
salaries while surrounding
governments are not, it will be
harder to attract the talent on
the open market for high level
positions," he said. "We may
lose some of our more aggres-
sive employees to other job
opportunities where that is
not the case."
Mr. Ballantyne explained
that the possible reductions
in property tax income are
just estimates released by the
state, and they have not been
clarified.

Falling in love with Mount Kilimanjaro

It happened on my first
trip to Kenya, in Amboseli
National Park, at the base of
the mountain.
I'd just finished leading a
trip to Egypt. Some people

and'travel with me to Kenya
on safari.
Having arrived in Nairobi
after a short flight from
Cairo, our group headed
first to Tsavo National Park.
It was about a three-hour
drive over moderately
bumpy roads. I remember
people complaining and
thinking to In il l, "You
haven't seen anything yet."
Kenya's terrible roads are
legendary, although the
present government is
trying to improve them.
We soon arrived at our
comfortable lodge, Kilaguni.
After lunch and a rest, we
gathered for a late afternoon
game drive during which we
saw zebras, giraffes,
gazelles, baboons and more.
Next, we drove to a lake
filled with hippos. We
watched them swim from
an underwater observatory.
Eventually, we headed
back to the lodge for dinner.
As we congregated on the
porch, we kept our eyes on
Kilaguni's famous watering
hole. At sunset, our guide,
Gregory, spotted a leopard
drinking. We watched it for
the longest time, until we
could only see its eyes
glowing in the dark.


which is refreshing,
because most of Amboseli
is so dry. The lodge has a
colorful African bush feel
to it. The rooms are lovely,
decorated with bold
fabrics and beadwork from
P the local Maasai tribe.
.. .. ,Everything is designed
S creatively. The bar was
adorned with Maasai
beaded collars and the
dining room arranged
around a dried tree with
hanging bird's nests. Also,

the mountain at day's end.
After dinner and a good
night's sleep, we set off for
another game drive. Right
away, we saw lions and their
cubs chomping on a kill
(which I'm grateful we didn't
actually see). The hyenas,
jackals and vultures were all
waiting in the wings.
Then we drove in search of
some flamingos that had
settled in Amboseli that
year. The park is actually a
dry lake bottom, with wet,
boggy spots throughout.
This attracts various types
of bird life.
We also spied elephants
bathing their young in the
bogs and hippos having a
grand old time splashing
in the water.
In the afternoon, we
headed to a nearby Maasai
village to learn about their
way of life. The Maasai live
within the shadows of
Mount Kilimanjaro. Even
though their homes are
humble, the view is
priceless.
We were guided through
the village and encour-
aged to enter the tiny
Maasai huts. We were also
offered some of the
traditional blend of cows

CHECK YOUR BOOTS!
The constant velocity joints (CVJ)
found on the drive shafts of front-
wheel-drive vehicles are designed
to provide consistent drive-shaft
speeds regardless of the operating
angle of the joint. The CVJs are
protected by rubber boots, which
should be inspected at each oil
:iijlone. If the boots are damaged,
i r r,:;ultant leak will allow the
i) re that lubricates the joint to
run out. At the same time, dirt will
get into the joint, which will almost
certainly lead to failure. A clicking
noise that is heard while the vehicle
is turning is an audible indication
that there is a CVJ problem. Needless
to say, the earlier a problem is
detected, the better. That is why CVJ
boots should be inspected regularly.
At ADVANTAGE FORD OF
STUART, we recommend regular
check-ups for your vehicle.
Preventative maintenance saves
you money over the life of your
car. During these regular check-
ups we will be sure to check
,':ir CVJ, including the boots.

conservation plan to those
in charge.
Since only the top three
teams would get to go to the
state championship, the
competition was fierce. The
teams are judged on their
robotic skills, energy and
conservation knowledge
and teamwork.
When the dust finally set-
tled, a group of home-
schooled students from
both Martin and St. Lucie
counties, The S.T.A.R. Bots,
won second place, while the
Robo-Monkeys from the
School of Robotic Fun in
Boynton Beach won the top
honors and the Robo Cops
of Wellington earned third
place.
The Robo Cops' coach, Joe
Pipitone, said this was the
first time in five years his
team had won the local
competition, although
they'd won the state cham-
pionship in 2006.
"The competition is very
strong," he said. "We haven't
had a back-to-back win in
Florida in a while."
The members of Robo-
Monkeys took note of what
worked for other teams at
South Fork, he said, and plan
to use that knowledge in
Melbourne next year.
For their energy audit, the
team consisting of his two
sons, Vincent, 9, Anthony, 13,
and two other boys chose
the YMCA of Boynton Beach.
They recommended that the
building install solar roof
panels, solar thermal panels
to, heat the swimming pool
and skylights in the gymnasi-
um to provide natural light-
ing.
Mr. Pipitone emphasized
that the knowledge gained
during the competition was
much more valuable than
the first-prize trophy.
"It's all about the kids
learning something and


having fun at the same
time," he said.
The coach of the S.T.A.R.
Bots, Palm City resident
Stacey Jones, has been
involved with FLL for six
years. She said she's still
amazed that the team made
it to the top three.
"I was kind of shocked.
because the competition is
very complicated, and the
judging is very, very tough,"
she said.
Her son Austin, 9, was a
rookie on the team this
year. After extensive
research and even inter-
viewing a man who works
in the solar energy indus-
try, he said he's become an
expert on solar panels.
Even so, he added, the
pressure was intense when
all eyes were on the team.
"You know that there's
going to be lot of people
watching you, and we did
three rounds," he said. "We
were about to fall over
when we found out we
were going to state."
The S.T.A.R. Bots also
audited a YMCA building,
this one in Stuart, offering
alternative energy solu-
tions to the management.
A group of' home-
schooled students from
Wellington, the Robo Cops
auditing the energy usage
of the Wellington Commu-
nity Center for the
research portion of their
project. Prior to the audit,
they visited a power plant
that uses bagasse a
byproduct of sugarcane
processing to create
biomass energy. The stu-
dents then implemented
that concept into the ener-
gy plan for the center.
Their coach, Linda Per-
venecki, said the team -

competitions deter-
mined early on to make it
to Melbourne.
."One of our boys set it as
a goal to go to state," she
said. "We had put a lot
more time and effort into
our project this year."
Ms. Pervenecki noted
that team spirit seemed to
permeate this year's event.
"Everybody was kind of
pulling together, and it
seemed to create a lot
more interaction between
the teams," she explained.
"By the end of the day, we
felt kind of a kinship with
the other teams."
This year's tournament
director, Mendi Carpenter,
emphasized the impor-
tance of the fun-filled
environment as a learning
tool for the youngsters.
"It's very satisfying to see
them so involved," she
said. "I think it's really
important to provide a
place for kids to learn
about science and tech-
nology in a fun way."
The other seven teams
and their awards include
the.BOTSQUAD of Jensen

dependable design); T.I.G.

schooled students from St.
Lucie and Martin counties
(creative presentation and
a trophy for robot per-

School in Stuart (judges'

Stewart
From page A7
Uncle Charlie always
drove. When his eyesight
got too bad to drive, he
still kept that Cadillac in
their driveway, always
clean and shiny. His
eyesight was still good
enough so that, from his
rocking chair in his living
room, he could see that
big Cadillac sitting outside
(and so could his neigh-
bors).
My father died when he
was 86 and he drove a
Pontiac TransAm up until
the very last. He had
cataracts removed from
both eyes and back then
you had to wear "Coke
bottle" style glasses to see
after this operation. He
had no peripheral vision
and there were a lot of
scrapes, dings and dents
that appeared on both
sides of that TransAm.
Thank God he never had a
serious accident. I saw
dad every day and I would
see that the dents and
scratches were regularly
repaired. He always said
he didn't know where they
came from, and I never
questioned him about
that. Maybe I was wrong,
but I didn't have the heart
to ask him not to drive
anymore. I knew how
important that car was to
dad and I knew how
devastating it would be to
him if he couldn't drive
anymore.
You may have heard of
George Greenberg, aka,
the "Mayor of Clematis"
Street. He died a few
months ago at age 91. He
owned Pioneer Linens on
Clematis Street in West
Palm Beach, a store
founded by his father,
Max, in 1912.
George and I were close
friends and I delivered a
eulogy at George's funeral.
at the request of his
grandson and daughter.
George always drove an
old Buick station wagon,
although he was a wealthy
man and could have
bought any car he wanted.
A couple of years ago,
George finally treated
himself to a new Mercedes
Benz SLK-Class convert-
ible. Boy did George look
good in that car and he
was always smiling when
he drove it. When he was
diagnosed with brain
cancer and given only
months to live, he finally
had to stop driving his
freedom machine. His
grandson drove him to our
monthly dinner at
Carmine's Ocean Grille
and picked him up. It
never was the same for
George after that.
At my Toyota dealership
in North Palm Beach, we
have a lot of older cus-
tomers. It's just the demo-
graphics of northern Palm
Beach County. My average
customer is 55 and I have
lots of customers in their
70s, 80s and 90s. Maybe it's
because I'm a senior
citizen too, but I especially
like talking to my older
customers and I've
become personal friends
with some. I can tell you
from personal experience
how important their cars
are to them in their latter
years.
During your middle
years, when you have so
much more going on in
your life, your car


becomes more utilitarian
and you take it for grant-
ed. But when you retire
and your. life is not as
hectic your car returns to
the importance it had
when you were 16 ... your
"freedom machine."
We recently leased a new
Camry to one of our very
good customers. This was
the third car that she got
from us over the last seven
years and she had just
turned 90. One of my
managers, who has worked
for me for 20 years and is a
neighbor of hers, handled
the lease. About a month
after she took her new
Camry home, her grandson
learned of the transaction
and demanded that we
rescind the lease. When we
spoke to our customer, she
let us know that her grand-
son was very upset with her
for leasing the car. He didn't
think she should be driving
a car anymore and that she
wouldn't live long enough to
make all the payments on a
four-year lease.
We offered to refund all of
the profit on the lease
(about $850), but the
grandson insisted that we
take the lease car back. This
would cost my company
thousands of dollars
because of the depreciation
a car takes on as soon as it is
titled as a used car.
Yesterday afternoon, my
customer's grandson and
stepson visited me in my
office. They continued to
demand that I rescind the
lease (only the leasing
company, Southeast Toyota
Finance, can rescind the
lease) and absorb the-
thousands of dollars in
depreciation on one-
month-old used car. They
suggested that I may have
broken laws by exploiting
the elderly, and that if I did
not succumb to their
demands, they would sue
me. They had already called..
Toyota to:complain about
my actions. Not so politely,
I asked them to leave my
office.
This experience trou-
bled me for the rest of the
day and even last night
and is what inspired this
column. Now I understand
why I was so angry at the
actions of my customer's
grandson and stepson.
They didn't seem to
understand how much that
car meant to their grand-
mother/stepmother's
happiness and what an
important thing her
"freedom machine" was to
her. I have to wonder how
much of their ire was due
to genuine concern for her
or the potential financial
impact on her estate. Her
grandson told me that she
had put only 1,500 miles on
her last car and what does
she need a new car for? He
just doesn't get it. A new car
is a lot more than just a way
.to get to the drug store. To a
senior citizen, it's a source
of pleasure, pride and
comfort, knowing that it's
in their driveway for
everyone to see and it's
there if they need it.
One of my sons just
called me to double check
on the correct time for
him to come over for
Thanksgiving dinner. I
told him that I was writing
this column and we
discussed the subject. I
also told him that I hoped
that neither he, nor his
two brothers would ever
take away my "freedom
machine."

JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide
ousy, resentment or martyr-
dom.
"Poor me. I give to every-
one else, but alas, no one ever
gives to me."
Have you ever been there?
There is a far and finer way to
live, if we can ever get our
own heads and egos out of
the way and surrender to the
heartland higher power and
let it work for us and through
us.
Here is how it works.
Everything that is created
in physical form starts as an
idea in someone's mind.
The three most prominent
sources of ideas are first to
originate in spirit and come
to us as an "aha" or light from
within our heart and spirit.
Or the idea comes from our
own conscious mind or as an
inspiration from the mind of
another person whom we
have talked to or read about.
These are our seeds source
of greatest truth. Do you
want to be inspired? Hang
out with positive-hearted
people who share their
dreams. Stay away from
negative-minded people who
discourage you.
It all comes down to the
choices we make as we travel
the road of life;
The point is that every-
thing starts in spirit and then,
in time, becomes a physical


reality. It all starts with
creating and planting seeds
and asking for a divine
blessing, rooting and
manifesting. In a garden, we
don't grow the crop. The
universe, upon blessing the
idea, is the seed is what
creates the physical reality.
When we are open to living
in harmony with spirit and
asking it to bless us, the first
magical gift of spirit that
appears to us is love. Nothing
is more important in all of
creation. The lack of love is
what creates hate, prejudice,
resentment, crime, war and a
divided wounded world.
Did you ever stop to think
that we all have a common
source and are all children
and family created from a
higher source, far greater
than ourselves?
Our primary job should be
to love ourselves, our families
and others, instead of trying
to destroy each other. This
leads to the second gift,
which is peace.
Until we find love, we can't
live in peace. Peace will only
come when the power of love
overcomes the love of power.
Who are you at war with?
Stop the war. Surrender. Lose
your mind and find your
heart. The way to peace starts
when we change ourselves
first. Love and peace bring us
into the third gift of spirit:
health.
Make peace with yourself
and with others around you
and your own health will
improve. It is the law of
harmony. Of course, it takes
healthy habits of food,
exercise, daily devotions and
the rest to keep us balanced.
Just remember, there are no
quick fixes in the world. It's
time to get back to old-
fashioned values.
The fourth gift is abun-
dance.

Tucker
From page A 16


Poverty is an illusion and a
lack of recognition of the
abundance of the universe.
Every seed wants to
multiply many times. If you
are poor, it is your choice.
There is a better way. Begin to
sownew seeds and ask the
universe to prosper you. Fear
and lack of self worth is what
keeps us in financial
bondage.
The fifth gift is faith.
Surrender, trust and faith
in spirit as you know and
name this higher power is
what brings us our other gifts.
Without faith, we live in fear,
freeze and become polluted
in body, mind, heart or soul.

Marvin Hamlisch: A legend brings


his songs and stories to the Lyric


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Composer Richard Rodgers is one of only two people to
win Emmy, Oscar, Tony and Grammy Awards as well as a
Pulitzer Prize.
The other is composer Marvin Hamlisch.
The distinguished musician brings his songs and stories
to the Lyric Theatre on Dec. 10. In a telephone interview, he
spoke about his career and about Barbra Streisand, with
whom he has had some of his greatest successes.
At seven, he became the youngest person ever accepted to
the Juilliard School and he had his first hit at 21, the song,
"Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," sung by Lesley Gore.
He said that having his talent identified so early had been
an advantage.
"I knew I couldn't be a physicist and I didn't have the
ability to play center field for the Yankees," he said. "You
tend toward something you have a talent for. The only time I
felt it was difficult was when I was younger, and I realized I
wasn't out playing ball because for those extra couple of
hours, you have to be at the piano. As I got older, I realized it
was a trade off."
Mr. Hamlisch met Ms. Streisand when he was assistant to
the vocal arranger for "Funny Girl," in which she starred.
"She's a perfectionist," he said. "She gets bad press
because she wants it to be perfect, which I think is a good
thing. There's a reason she's the best. She's blessed with a
great voice and ear and great musical instincts. People have
gotten so much joy from her. Every 10 years or so, our paths
cross and we have a great success."
Among those successes were 1973 Academy Awards for
the score and song to the film "TheWayWeWere," which
started Ms. Streisand and Robert Redford.
On the evening he won those Oscars, he also won an
Oscar for the adaptation of Scott Joplin's ragtime music for
"The Sting," becoming the first person to win three Acade-
myAwards in one night. He won two EmmyAwards in 1994
for Ms. Streisand's television special, "Barbara Streisand:
The Concert."
'A Chorus Line," for which he won a Tony Award and

Aries-March 21-April 19
Know from the core of your being that the uni-
verse loves you and wants to protect you from
harm. The gift of love is reflected so strongly in
your heart and actions. You are self- motivated
and capable of achieving great results in your
personal and professional life. Let the richness
of your heart and spirit keep you connected
and continue to move you forward in all you
do.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
.Quiet your mind, become calm and listen to
your inner guidance. Following your heart and
listening to your instincts is most important
right now. Refuse to let your head talk you out
of your dream. Bring up the good stuff and set
it into motion. The action you take on the
desires and passions that come up will lead you
on to victory. It doesn't get any better than this.

Marvin Hamlisch brings songs and stories from 50
years of show business to the Lyric Theatre on Decem-
ber 10 for two shows

Pulitzer Prize, was his greatest Broadway success. The
ground-breaking show, which opened in 1975, told the
story of dancers struggling to make it in the theater, It won
.nine Tony Awards and ran for more than 6,000 performanc-
es.
"(Director) Michael Bennett called me. I'd just won an
Oscar and he said to come back to NewYork. I had faith in
his brilliance. It was a lot of work, with two steps forward
and one step back."

Gemini-May 21-June 21
There are many new opportunities at hand.
Choose wisely and honestly from what you feel
inside. Immense progress can be made now in
your strongest creative project. The universe sup-
ports you. Go for it. Clearly imagine what you truly
want. This is where it all starts. Be inventive, origi-
nal and self- reliant. Keep on keeping on and cre-
ate a greater tomorrow today.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
Mars in Cancer slows you down a little right now.
Just be sure to take life one day at a time and live
in the moment. This is no time to worry about the
future or hold on to the past. Stick to your guns
and your top priorities. Let the less important
things wait. This plan will allow you to get the
most important things done first. Now everyone
thinks you are a genius. You are.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
The moon in Leo this week gives you an emotion-
al edge when making decisions. It says if your
heart is in it and you want to do it, go4or it. If not,
then wait. All successful people follow a similar
plan on a long-term basis. This insures that your
best ideas have the probability of being winners.
Keep your head out of the decisions and you will
emerge victorious over life.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Saturn in Virgo says take responsibility for your
actions. Just be sure that this is guided by what


you really want to do. If you take action without
being clear in your intent, it lessens the chance of
fulfillment and causes stress and burnout. With
the holidays coming, this is no time to get burned
out. There is too much joy coming soon to let this
happen.

Libra-Sept. 23-Oct 22
Your strong spirit continues to amaze others
around you. You are so wise and have such a
good heart. You were born to lend a helping hand
and make others happy around you. Just be sure
to find a little quality time for you as well as oth-
ers. Self-respect is the foundation for love and per-
sonal growth and happiness. You know how to do
life right. It's your destiny.

Scorpio-Ot. 23-Nov. 21
The joy of achievement is the fuel that fires your
soul. Nothing thrills you more than seeing a plan
work out that gives joy to yourself and those in
your circle of life. Set your large heart in motion.
Take action on the great dream you want to bring
into life. It is time. It's on and up from here. The
only thing stopping you is personal doubt. Move
beyond it and win.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It's your turn at the helm of the zodiac wheel. With
the sun, Jupiter and Pluto in Sagittarius it gives
you sharpness and.an edge you may not see again

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Brooke Stone knows that
she has big shoes to fill.
As Peter Pan, she follows
in the footsteps of Mary
Martin, Sandy Duncan and
Cathy Rigby in a role tradi-
tionally played by a
woman.
She and the cast of "Peter
Pan: The High Flying Musi-
cal," comes to the Sunrise
Theatre on Dec. 6 and she
spoke by phone recently
about the tradition she
continues.
"I am honored to play the
part," she said. "I saw
Cathy Rigby in "Peter Pan"
when I was 11 and I always
wanted to play it. It looked
like it was out of my reach
and then my agent sent me
on the audition. It was a
really good match. As I pre-
pared, I did a lot of research
on the life of'(writer) J.M.
Barrie. I have to keep in
mind I play a little boy. I
stay focused on who rather
than what he was, focused
on the mischief and the
fun. He tried to push the

line, to see how far he could
go."
The 23-year-old per-
former says the role allows
her a lot of freedom.
"It allows me to have
fun," she says. "It's silly and
funny. I can do whatever I
want and not grow up. It's
made easier by having a
wonderfully talented cast,

in relation to them."
Members of the audience
have the opportunity to let go
of their inhibitions, as well, in
part of the show in which the
audience is asked to partici-
pate.
Ms. Stone teaches them to
crow and asks for their help as
she struggles to believe.
"It's a family show," she
said. "There's something for
everyone. The kids love the
silliness and the fun. There are
adults getting into trouble
and the audience goes along
for the ride. The message is
that it's okay to never grow up.
Everyone should grow up in
their own time. You should
allow yourself the freedom to
have fun. When my dad, who
sits at a desk all day, saw the
show, he thought it was so
much fun to let himself go. He
said he was crowing with
everyone else and that he got
tricked into being free."
There are many versions of
"Peter Pan," including the
Disney movie, and Ms. Stone
wants people to know that
this production is a mixture of
the new and the traditional.
"There's a lot of music and
dance," she said. "There are
some different numbers and
some traditional. It's veryrec-
ognizable and a little, differ-
ent, too."
The actress does, indeed,
fly, and she says that it's been
a learning process they're still
working out.
"We're still trying to get
more excitement and tricks
in," she said. "It takes time to
get used to the sensation. I
was excited and couldn't wait.
I'm a jump-right-in kind of
person. We're in such good
hands and the safety precau-
tions are great. It's been a
blast"
"Peter Pan: The High Fly-
ing Musical" comes to the
Sunrise Theatre, 117 S. Sec-
ond Street, Fort Pierce on
Dec. 6 for a 7 p.m. show.
Tickets are $49 and $39; call

Soup, curry two variations on what


to do with all that leftover turkey

ARLENE BORG
Romancing the Stove
with the Grammy Guru

Sell, smart shoppers.
We celebrated mom's
99th birthday and
granddaughter Zoe's first
birthday as well as this
Thanksgiving. What a mad-
house.
Today, it's all about
leftovers. Place some
stuffing and gravy in small
zippered freezer bag and
tuck them in a large bag
with turkey. Then, you can
just take it out of the freezer
and thaw. You'll have a
dinner in no time.
Another great quick
dinner for those leftovers is
my version of curry.
After that turkey frame is
cleaned, let's make soup.
Many make turkey soup just.
like chicken soup, but take
my word for it, once you've
tried it my mom's way, you'll
never like it any other way.
Tiny meatballs and
noodles make it a one-dish
meal. It's a kid's favorite
and, according to my
grandson, Addison, has
magical healing powers.
He's 18 now, but from the
time he was a little tyke, an
upset stomach, a cold, a
headache, a scraped knee,
even a burned finger would
surely get better if only I
would make him sone
turkeyy soup."

LEFTOVER TURKEY
OR CHICKEN CURRY
SERVES 4 TO 6
REGULAR OR LOW-
FAT
This curry is a simple
variation of the real thing.
It's a winner and takes
almost no time to prepare.
1/2 cup each onion and
celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil or
Water
2 cups chicken broth,


homemade or canned
1/2 cup tomato sauce and
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon Worcester-
shire sauce
Several sprigs fresh Italian
parsley, chopped or 1
tablespoon dried
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon to 1 table-
spoon curry powder
depending on how strong
a flavor you want
3-4 cups cooked turkey or
chicken, cut up
1/4 cup flour
3 to 4 cups cooked rice or
noodles
Cooked broccoli spears
Lightly brown onion and
celery in oil, adding water if
necessary. Add the broth,
reserving 1/2 cup. Add the
tomato sauce and water, a
little salt and pepper,
Worcestershire sauce,
parsley and curry powder.
Cook covered about 10
minutes. Add turkey and
cook 10 minutes longer.
Shake remaining broth with
flour and add to the pot,
stirring until thickened,
adding more water or flour
and water if necessary.
Serve in individual dishes
or any way you choose. I
place broccoli spears over
rice or noodles, then ladle
on the curry.

TURKEY SOUP,
ITALIAN STYLE
To make soup, nothing
beats a pressure cooker. The
soup will take 1/2 hour
compared to two hours in a
pot.
1 turkey frame
1 large onion, 3-inches in
diameter, peeled and
sliced
3 large stalks celery with
leaves, cut up
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons black
pepper
2 tablespoons chopped
fresh parsley or 1 table-
spoon dried
Half of an 8-ounce can
tomato sauce (adds nice
color, very little flavor)
6-quart stock pot or
pressure cooker
Wash turkey frame,
remove traces of skin and
stuffing. If the turkey frame
is very large, you might have
to do this in two batches.
(Leftovers freeze great.)
Place all ingredients in the
pot and fill two-thirds with


water. Cook two hours in baby meatballs into boiling

Live music, crashing surf and the freshest

of cuisine at the High Tide Beach Grill


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
JENSEN BEACH -
Patrons at the High Tide
Beach Grill on Hutchinson
Island are made to feel
warm, welcome and pam-
pered.
And it's no wonder, since
owner Wolfgang Baere has
spent more than 40 years
managing some of the finest
hotel properties on the
planet, including the Ritz-
Carlton in Palm Beach.
But the management is
not the only thing special
about the High Tide Beach
Grill: It's also the only
beachfront establishment
on South Hutchinson
Island, providing patrons
who dine al fresco with the
crashing surf and balmy
breezes as accompani-
ments.
SThe High Tide is about to
celebrate the first anniver-
sary of its re-opening after
hurricanes Frances and
Jeanne shuttered~he restau-
rant, known at the time as
Shucker's, in 2004. It took
more than two years to
rebuild, and regular patrons
Wilfred and Linda \Viegand
couldn't be more pleased
that Mr. Baere didn't throw
in the towel.

Out


"I like the atmosphere,
food and music, and espe-
cially the German Tucher
Hefe beer," Mr. Weigand
said.
His wife emphasized that
it was a tribute to Mr. Baere's
perseverance the restaurant
was re-opened after all the
storm damage.
"It's a wonderful place
that Hutchinson Island
deserves, and I think it's
remarkable," she said.
The beer is not the only
thing that reflects the
owner's German heritage.
One of his signature seafood
creations, the seafood
strudel, shows off the Ger-
man expertise in Bltterteig.
These tender leaves of phyl-
tlo pastry are stuffed with
succulent shrimp, scallops
and fresh fish and topped
with a creamy orange
sauce.
The other German cre-
ation on the menu,
bratwurst, is made from
sausage flown in from an
award-winning German
butcher in California.
Every other item on the
menu is treated with the
exact same care, said Mr.
Baere, who explained that
all of the restaurant's
sauces are homemade.
"Everything is made from


scratch," he said. "The only
thing we buy frozen are the
French fries."
Another one of the High
Tide's exquisite creations is
the Grouper Oscar. The
sauteed fish is topped with
lump crab meat, asparagus
and a tangy bernaise sauce.
You'll find several other
seafood choices on the
menu, as well as a variety of
pastas, steak and even bar-
becue ribs.
An ample selection of
appetizers and salads will
help you get started, rang-
ing from the creamy clam
chowder (loaded with
chunks of tender clams and
potatoes) to quesadillas,
fried calamari and buffalo
shrimp. For a refreshingly
cool beginning, consider
thle fruit and shrimp salad
plate or the fresh mozzarel-,
la and tomato salad.
In addition to both for-"
eign and domestic beers,
the High Tide boasts an
excellent wine and cocktail
list;, as well as a variety of,
exquisite smoothies.
Mr. Baere said that,
unlike other restaurants,
guests here can order from
the lunch menu or the din-
ner menu any time of the
day or night. That means
that diners with smaller


appetites can order from a
list of some 10 burgers,
wraps and sandwiches, all
of which can be cus-
tomized with a number of
additional toppings.
There's also a children's
menu for the younger
guests.
For a sweet finish, you
can choose from New York
style cheesecake, key lime
pie or the ultimate choco-
late cake (layers of devil's
food cake held together
with fudge and topped with
chocolate frosting. Or, if
you're too full, as I was,
then go for the coupe tropi-
cale: citrus sherbet topped
with melon chunks, a tropi-
cal pina colada yogurt
sauce and whipped cream.
The High Tide Beach Grill
offers live music on Satur-
days and Sundays and
plans a very special party
on NewYear's Eve. It's also a
spectacular place to plan
your beachfront wedding or
reception. The restaurant is
located at 9800 S: Ocean
Drive within the Island
Beach Resort, about a mile
north of the Jensen Beach
Causeway.
The High Tide Beach Grill
is open daily from 11:30 a.m.
to 9:30 p.m. For more infor-
mation, call (7721 229-3006.

Hamlisch
From page B1
Mr. Hamlisch is at work on another show, but says that the
theater has changed.
"It's a real big business," he said. "The shows cost a
fortune. "The producers are making fortunes. I think there
are too many revivals, but this year, there were a lot of new
shows. "Spring Awakening" has a lot of youth and exuber-
ance. It's wonderful that an art form has the ability to have
"Spring Awakening" and "Young Frankenstein" at the same
time."
In his Lyric shows, Mr. Hamlisch will feature selections
from both Hollywood and Broadway and will pay tribute to
several composers, including Richard Rodgers, Scott Joplin
and Cole Porter.
"Most people are amazed at how funny it is," he says.
"They enjoy the music and the comedy. There's music,
singing and talking. It's a family-oriented show. If you want
to get children interested in listening to music, bring them
to the show."
Marvin Hamlisch appears at the Lyric Theatre, 59 S. W.
FlaglerAve., Stuart, for two shows, at 6 and 8:30 p.m. Tickets
are $60 and $55. Call the box office at (772) 286- 7827 or order

Not getting enough sunlight may lead to seasonal disorder


M any of us who came
from the North are
familiar with the
winter blues, when the days
get short and gray, the trees
grow bare and everything
seems damp and cold.
For many of us, escaping
the depression that came
with the winter weather was
a major reason for coming
to Florida to live and why
snowbirds continue to come
here each winter for our
best season.
While the winter blues
may not be as severe in the
South, it is still a reality for
many people. Even in
Florida, the days grow
shorter and there are far
fewer hours of sunlight each
day. It can be sunny at 3
p.m. and dark by 4:30 p.m.
Those of us in Florida who
are susceptible to the winter
blues or Seasonal Affective
Disorder, as it is medically
known, need to be alert,
understand the symptoms,
and take action to ease the
distress of the condition.
The first thing you need to


know is that SAD is a
recognized form of depres-
sion that has been linked to
a biochemical imbalance in
the brain. The imbalance is
brought on by shorter days
and lack of sunlight. It is
real.
Some of the symptoms of
SAD include excessive
sleeping; increased appetite
and weight gain (people
often turn to comfort food
and crave starches and
sugars); irritability, difficul-
ties with other people,
especially feelings of
rejection; and a heavy,
leaden feeling on the arms
and legs.
The American Psychiatric
Association (www.healthy-
minds.org) suggests a
variety of treatments that
are effective in managing or
staving offSAD.
The first'thing to try is
increasing exposure to
sunlight. If possible, take a
walk or arrange an office or
room so that you are
exposed to a window. If you
work in a cubicle, try to get

out on your lunch hour. A
walk also decreases stress
and exercise has been found
to help with the symptoms
of SAD.
SIf your symptoms don't go
away or affect your daily life,
then it's time to seek help. A
professional, trained in the
treatment of depression,
may recommend several
treatments including some
traditional measures such
as talk therapy and anti-
depressants.


However, he or she may
also recommend light
therapy, which has been
very effective in treating
SAD. This involves exposure
to a bright light from a
special fluorescent light box
for between 30 to 90
minutes a day during the
winter. Many people notice.
improvement within a few
days, while other may take a
few weeks to see improve-
ment. If there is none at all,
other treatments may be
necessary.
Before investing in a
bright light device, consult
with your physician,
because people with certain
eye conditions and sensitiv-
ity to light may not be good
candidates for the treat-
ment.
In addition, someone
should monitor your
progress, to see how you are
feeling and if the treatment
is appropriate for you.
Light therapy devices
range from metal boxes to
portable lamps. They
contain white fluorescent


light bulbs behind a dif-
fuser, so that the light is at a
downward angle, allowing
more to enter the eyes. The
diffuser spreads the light
evenly and absorbs and
filters dangerous ultraviolet
rays. It is extremely impor-
tant to purchase a light box
from a reputable company
that can provide independ-
ent verification that the
devices they sell are free of
ultraviolet rays that can
damage the eyes and skin.
If this disorder is a prob-
lem for you, it's a good idea
to think about a solution
before the days grow shorter
and depression sets in.
That's when it seems hard to
do anything, including
seeking treatment.
You can call 211 and ask
for organizations that
provide mental health
counseling, many on
sliding scales.

Medical Center in Fort

Senior golfers look forward to winter series


If you're older than 40 and.
looking to play some
serious competitive golf
this winter, the Florida State
Golf Association's 2007-08
Winter Series may be for
you.
The popular series has
already closed entry for its
first event at Lake Jovita Golf
& Country Club in Dade
City. Last year, every
individual event sold out, so
if you're thinking of playing,
it would be best to get your
entry in early.
The series divides golfers
into three age groups,
calculated as of April 1. .
The three divisions are:
mid-senior (40-54 year
olds), playing approximate-
,ly 6,700 yards; senior (55-
64), approximately 6,400
yards; and super senior (65
and over), approximately
6,100 yards.
For some reason I'm not
comfortable being in the
mid-senior division already!
Throughout the series, the
FSGA maintains a points list
that will determine which
competitors win their age
division. At the conclusion
of the series, each series age
division winner will receive
a commemorative award.


The overall point winners
in the 40-54 age division
and the 55-64 age division
will also receive an exemp-
tion into the 2008 State
Amateur at Jupiter Hills
Club in Tequesta.
Also, individual event age
group winners of the senior
and super senior age
division, along with top 10
and ties of the senior and
top five and ties of the super
senior age division 2007-08
Winter Series points list as
of Feb. 27, will gain exemp-
tions into the 2008 Senior
Championship at Old
Corkscrew Golf Club in
Estero.
The winter series will
conduct each event at 36
holes of gross scoring. There
will be no net division. Each
age division will be flighted
after the first round, based
on the number of competi-
tors and the range of scores.
The list of events on the
2007-08 schedule follows.
* Orange County National:
individual event, Dec. 17-
18, Winter Garden. Entry
closing Dec. 5.
* Timacuan Golf and
Country Club: individual
event, Jan. 7-8, Lake Mary.

A trio of rare birds

It's not often that a golfer


records that elusive ace.
It's even rarer that one
records an Albatross or
double eagle. Dick Gill-
mor of Vero Beach did just
this holing out from 240
yards on his second shot
to the par-5 fourth hole of
the Dunes Course at
Sandridge Golf Club.
At the Ocean Club at the
Hutchinson Island Mar-
riott in Stuart, Gene
Geoghan aced the second
hole. Not wanting him to


steal the spotlight or win
the skin on the hole,.
Jennifer Defrank aced the
hole a moment later.
We tip our hat to all
three of you. Congrats!

Orchids make great holiday gifts


When looking for a
great holiday gift,
why not give a
living gift of color?
One plant you should
consider is the colorful
gem known as the orchid.
Orchids are truly amaz-
ing plants. Many people
think they are difficult to
.grow, but actually the
opposite is true. Orchids
are no more difficult to
grow then many flowering
annuals. Orchids simply
need the basic plant
essentials: light, water,
fertilizer and air.
The flowering cycle of
the orchid will vary from
variety to variety, hut in
general, they will bloom
from one to four weeks.
Under ideal conditions,
up to six weeks is not out
of the question.
Orchids are unique
plants because that they
do not grow in soil. In
fact, if you try to plant an
orchid in soil, it will mean
most certain death.
Orchids need to be
planted in special bark
mixes.
If you place your orchids
outside under a tree, they
do not need any planting
medium at all. The plants
will attach themselves to
the tree and obtain all of
their l.utrients from
natural rainwater and air.
This is how orchids grow
in the wild. If you want to
grow a prize orchid, this is
the way to go.
For many people,
growing orchids outside is
out of the question, but
you can still grow orchids
inside or on a porch with
excellent results.
If you choose to raise
your plants inside, find a
bright windowsill or an
area that is as close to a
natural light source as
possible.
Usually when you
purchase a plant, it will
already be in a container


JOE ZELENA
Garden Nook


with the appropriate
planting medium. Howev-
er, you may want to
transplant your flower in
a more decorative pot or
it just might need to be
put into a larger contain-
er.
In this case, you can use
either an appropriate
bark mix or decorative
stones. Either of these
materials will allow the
roots to stay aerated
enough so they will be
able to breathe. The roots
will also need good
drainage. One of an
orchid's worst enemies is
too much water. Water the
plants completely about
once a week or so. Always
allow them to dry before
watering again. Do not
over water.
Once your orchid has
bloomed out, the next
step is to get them to re-
bloom at a later time. In
order for orchids to
bloom again, they need a
10-degree temperature
difference between the
day and night tempera-
ture. You can either do
this by setting your air
conditioning system
accordingly or placing the
plant on a porch where
the temperature differ-
ence will happen natural-
ly. This trick can mean the
difference between a
plant that has green
leaves or a plant that will


treat you to a rainbow of
color.
Orchids are not heavy
feeders, but when you do
feed them, they will
require a special food.
Find a mix that is special-
Sly made for your plants. A
fertilizer with the num-
bers 20-10-20 will do an
excellent job. Feed plants
Once a week with a weak
solution of the fertilizer.
Orchids need an ample
amount of humidity in
K order to thrive. If the |
humidity is below 50
percent in your home, the
plants will not do well.


You can alleviate this
problem by running a
humidifier ndar the plant
during the normally dry
winter months.

here do your eyes
o when a
window opens on
your PC?
I ask this question
because of a phenomenon
that I've noticed while
instructing new computer
users.
Usually, the answer is, "I
don't have that," a short
pause and then the
inevitable, "Oh! Here it is!"
Why is it that many new
computer users are unable
to find things that are
present on any given
system, even when the
items in question are right
there on the screen?
The answer lies in where
people's eyes tend to go
when a window opens.
Most of the time, the
users' eyes are hovering
around a 4-inch circle in
the center of the screen. If
they don't see what they,
are looking for there, the
response is usually "I don't
have that."
Then, after realizing that
maybe they should have
whatever it is they can't
find, they will broaden the
search a bit, move their
eyes around and locate
what they were missing.
If you are having trouble
finding things on your
desktop, pay attention to
where your eyes go when a
window pops open. If you
tend to focus on a small
area in the center of the
'window, try shifting your
view to the top left of the
screen and work your way
to the lower right through
the center of the window.
This will usually allow
you to see what's what in
any given window in the
order of importance.
By the time you get to
the lower right portion of
the window, you will
typically have enough
information to complete
whatever it is you are
trying to do.
Have I lost you? Let's
look at it another way.
When someone hands
you a piece of paper or
you open a page in a
book, where do your eyes
go?
Well, they certainly
don't hover around the
center of the page (or at
least they shouldn't).
In Western civilization,
we begin reading from the
top left and work our way
to the lower right. If we
were to just focus on the
center of the page, we
would end up just reading
a small chunk of what's
written and miss the
beginning and the end.
Without thinking, we
know to start at the top
left of the page and,
working from left to right,
line by line, moving our
way down the page.
We need to develop the
same habit when we use
the computer because the
same rules apply.
Starting in the middle of
the screen and then
wandering around will


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This

leave us feeling lost and
out of control, and we will
most certainly miss
things.
When we look at the top
left corner, we will usually
see an icon representing
whatever program is
running followed by the
title bar. These are good
things to know: the name.
(and icon) of the program
running and its title.
The next line we will
usually encounter is a line
of pull-down menus.
That's where we can find
all the commands that are
available within that
particular window
grouped again in logical
sections.
All of the filing-related
commands are grouped
under file, all the editing
commands are grouped
under "edit" and so on,
with the final pull-down
menu usually being
"help."
They arranged in this
way, so that if people don't
find what they are looking
for by going through each
menu from left to right,
they can look in the help
menu as a last resort.
; Beneath the pull-down
menus your window may
or may not have a row of
buttons. Many programs
use this space to make
some of the commonly
used functions available
in the form of buttons.
For instance, Microsft
Word uses this space to
give you buttons for
formatting text, opening
files, copy, cut and paste
functions and more.
Internet Explorer uses
this area for the back,
forward and home but-
tons. Hold your mouse
over it until a little
description appears. After
the toolbars some
programs have many -
the body of whatever
document or file is usually
next.
However, all programs
are different; you won't see
all of the items listed
above in every window.
The point is to-start
from the top left. That way
you can usually find
whatever it is you are
looking for.
