Charitable groups' spirit of giving shines through


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas for the needy and less
fortunate were made much
more special in Martin Coun-
ty thanks to the hard work of
area residents who donated
time, finances and other con-
tributions this past holiday
season.
The Hometown News has
contacted some of the organ-
izations and people who
stepped up to help those in
need to tell their story and to
let others know what how
they might help those who
seek to help others.
It would be difficult to try
and name every individual
donor, church and organiza-
tion that pitched in during


2007, so this list is far from
conclusive. However, if you
think we have left out a group
or event you think is worthy
of mention, please contact

Red Cross
This past holiday season,
the volunteers of the Martin
County Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross donated their
time, finances and energy to
help area families that recent-
ly lost their homes due to
fires. On Dec. 20, four families
were invited to a Christmas,
party hosted by volunteers at
the organization's headquar-
ters on South Kanner High-
way in Stuart. In addition to


household items, the families
were showered with clothing
and toys to help make their
Christmas season brighter.
That same morning, the
Kermit Moore family of Port
Salerno lost their mobile
home and 11l of their posses-
sions in a fire. The local chap-
ter of the Red Cross helped to
provide the Moore family
with temporary lodging and
other aid, according to Execu-
tive Director Mary Sawyer.
"We have provided over
$3,000 in assistance for
clothes and food, and we're
still helping them," she said.
"We actually partnered with
the Indiantown non-profit
housing group to get them a
temporary FEMA camper
trailer to put on the lot. It's a
possibility they might get a


permanent trailer, as well."
The youth volunteers of the
Martin County chapter also
got involved during the holi-
days, she added. In addition
to helping out with the Dec.
20 Christmas party for the fire
victims, they coordinated a
Santa's Stockings program for
the students at the Gertrude
Walden and Port Salerno
Head Start centers. Approxi-
mately 100 students received
the stockings filled with small
toys and hygiene items.
The local Red Cross chap-
ter also held its largest
fundraising event of the year
in December, the 20th Annu-
al Red Cross Ball atWillough-
by Golf Club in Stuart on Dec.
11. Some 200 people attend-
ed this year's Asian-themed
ball and made donations and


pledges close to $100,000, Ms.
Sawyer said. Those that
attended enjoyed cocktails
and appetizers, Asian cuisine,
both a silent and live auction
and dancing to the live music
of Fifth Avenue.
Upcoming events include:
*Red Cross Month in
March and the kickoff of the
organization's Hero's Cam-
paign.

'bed tax'

BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer .
MARTIN COUNTY -
Beginning May 1, overnight
visitors and seasonal resi-
dents -staying less than six
months will pay 2, percent
more for lodging so that Mar-
tin County can attract more
tourists to the area.
Also known as a "bed tax,"
the 4 percent tourist'tax will
be charged to short-term visi-
tors and "snowbirds" who
rent accommodations for less
than six months. It will be
charged in addition to the
regular 6.5 percent sales tax,
and the funds will be used for
marketing campaigns.
Neighboring Palm Beach
County currently charges a 5
percent bed tax, while St.
Lucie and Indian River coun-
ties charge 5 and 3 percent,
respectively.
Martin County's previous 2
percent tourist tax was
passed by the county com-
mission in 2002, and since
that time has brought in more
than $600,000 yearly in rev-
enue. When the county first
began debating the expan-
sion of the tax about two
years ago, most of the mem-
bers of the Martin County
Hotel and Motel Association
were against the idea, said
association president Audrey
Ballantyne.

It takes passion to get on
a bike at 7:30 a.m. and
head out'on a 100-mile
ride, but on Jan. 12, more
than a dozen men and
women from all up and
down the Treasure Coast
did so motivated by an
even loftier goal: .raising
funds for the abandoned
children of Nicaragua.
Called the Ride to Pro-
vide, the Juno Beach to
Fort Pierce event was
organized by Albacoa resi-
dent John Greene, a pro-
fessional cyclist who cred-


its his church in Palm
Beach Gardens,
Maranatha Church, with
first bringing the aban-
doned children and the
orphanage to his atten-
tion.
"Our pastor is the one
who kind of moved me,"
he said. "I was led to get
involved in this after see-
ing these kids, who are
innocent, get dumped off
in a plastic bag at garbage
dumps."
Mr. Greene recruited his
fellow riders, as well as his
workplace, Crossroads
Environmental of Palm
City, to financially back

Some two dozen Treasure Coast cyclists raised funds for the children of the Nueva Vida
Orphanage in Nicaragua. The group bicycled from Juno Beach to the Fort Pierce Inlet and
back along various portions of Dixie Highway, A1 A and Indian River Drive.

'Bed tax'
From page Al
After the devastating hurri-
cane season of 2004, most of
the area hotels remained full
with reconstruction and
FEMA workers, she explained,
and the hotel owners didn't
want to risk rocking the boat.
Things have changed consid-
erably for: the local lodging
industry since then.
"Now we have to lower the
rates in order to attract peo-
ple," she said.
As part of the proposed new
tax structure, the entire "third


cent" will go to arts and cul-
tural capital projects, such as
the remodeling of the Elliott
Museum on Hutchinson
Island, while the "4th cent" is
dedicated strictly for promo-
tion, with the Martin County
Convention and Visitor's
Bureau, the Sports Commis-
sion and the Arts Council
each set to receive $100,000
annually. County staff had
also recommended that
$75,000 of the original two
percent go to beach mainte-
nance, an idea that drew sig-
nificant opposition among
area tourism officials and
Commissioner Lee Weber-
man.

"I am just not as sold on the
other $75,000 for the beach-
es," he said. "People come
here because of the Elliot
Museum, the Jonathon Dick-
son State Park, to kayak on the
river, etc."
For his part, commissioner
Doug Smith emphasized the
importance of clean beaches
to the visiting public.
"Clearly, beaches are one of
our attractions," he said.
"They have to be clean,
assessable and they've got to
be perfect."'
Commissioner Sarah Heard
said she was reluctantly sup-
porting the tax but wanted to
know how effective the funds
raised from the initial bed tax
had been in attracting new
visitors.
' "There has to be a demon-
stration of success," she said.
"We're pumping an additional
$600,000 a year."
Community Services Direc-
tor Cheryl Bass responded
that the 2004 hurricanes
made it difficult to gauge suc-
cess since one hotel was lost
and the rest were filled with
reconstruction workers. Com-
missioner Michael DiTerlizzi
said that tourists really didn't
want to come to a hurricane-
damaged area afterwards and
the subsequent higher gas
prices have also aggravated
the problem.
"It's hard to find blame for a
downturn," he said. "There
are so many factors here."
Commissioners and staff
ultimately agreed to a com-
promise on the beach mainte-
nance funding that would
allow it to sunset after two
years, requiring the commis-
sion to take the issue up again
in 2010. That particularly
pleased Ms. Ballantyne, whd
stressed the importance of
directing the most funds to
the CVB.
"We feel a lot better now, so
what we intend to do now is
work closely with the CVB to
work on marketing issues this
year," she said. "We're going to
be focusing the marketing on
the destination through the
CVB and through the hotels
for the summer."
Dedicating part of the new
tax to arts and culture was
clearly another point of con-
tention for members of the
Hotel and Motel Association.

A2 Martin County


Extended Stay Hotel in Stuart,
expressed his opposition to
funding anything but market-
ing efforts with the tourist tax.
."I don't .agree with the
increase of tax to support the
arts commission," he said.
"The whole idea behind pro-
moting tourism in Martin
County is to put heads in beds
- you've got to have market-
ing dollars. We're not against
the fine arts commission, but
we didn't feel that taix money
should be used for that yet...
it's too soon."
Ms. Ballantyne emphasized
that the association supports
the arts, just not that particu-
lar funding strategy.
"What we were opposed to
was the fact that the funds
were not being used for mar-
keting, but for the renovation
of the Elliott Museum,'" she
said. "We thought thefunds
should have come from
somewhere else."
Supporting the arts, she
emphasized, should be a pri-
mary objective of the CVB.
"If the CVB is .to function
properly, is has to promote
the arts, because the arts are
an integral part of visitors to
Martin County," she said.; It's'
an important part of selling
the destination and bringing
people here."
The executive director of
the CVB, Terry Monaghan,
said the organization was
supportive of using part of the
new tax for arts and culture.
"We were very much in sup-
port of using the third cent for
tourist-related capital proj-
ects, including the Elliott
Museum," she said. 'After
three years, the funds will be
available to any other tourist-
related capital project,
whether that be a new exposi-
tion center or a fishing pier."
She added that the $100,000
in new funds that the 4th cent
is expected to generate annu-
ally will enable the CVB to do
more outreach and undertake
projects that it has had to
forgo in the past.
"We'll be able to have a pro-
gram that is specifically tar-
geted to meeting planners
and travel agents, she said.
"We'll be able to have, out-
reach to them that we couldn't
afford before."
At least one member of the
public attending the hearing,
Al Fowler of Palm City,
expressed his opposition to
raising the tourist tax
"I am a senior.citizen; and I
know a lot of senior.citizens
who are trying to rent their
apartments," he said. "I think
it's unfair for the snowbirds to
have to pay for something
that the locals don't have to."
None of the commissioners
commented, however, on
whether seasonal visitors
should or should not have to
pay more tax to attract other
seasonal visitors to Martin
County. Before they voted on
the new tax, the county's
tourist tax collector, Ann Rose
Farr, asked them to consider
postponing the implementa-
tion so landlords do not have
to absorb the extra tax them-
selves.
"We would like it to go into
effect on April 1 and not
March 1, due tothose who've
rented their apartments to
seasonal renters," she said.
"Contracts have been signed
since last year, and the con-
tracts are usually through
April."
Commissioners incorporat-
ed Ms. Farr's request into the
ordinance, which they passed
unanimously. The new tax
amount will take effect May 1.
After the hearing Ms. Bal-
lantyne said the most impor-
tant thing now was the new
publicity ntade possible by
the additional tax revenue.
"We want to make sure
Martin County's name is out
there," she said.

Be careful with spelling in family trees


Remember my father
always saying, "Their
family is not related to us,
they spell their name differ-
ently."
It didn't take me long after
starting myresearch to
discover why my grandmoth-
er's name was different. For
some reasbn, her father
decided to change the "e" to
an"i." His brothers kept the
traditional spelling.
Following my father's
instructions, those uncles
would not be related to us
and I would be at an even
higher brick wall.

exact spellings of names did
not matter. Words were just
sounds and most people
never had the name written

down. Literacy did not
become widespread until the
*late 1800s.
Don't make the common
mistake of getting hung up on
the exact spelling of your


name oryou will be hopeless-
ly lost in the quagmire of
name changes, mistakes,
mispronunciations and
horrible handwriting.
When looking for your
names, either first or last, let
your imagination be your
guide.
Variations in spelling can
vary from person to person,
family groups, generations,
documents, and certainly
depend on the person trying
to index census records, etc.
Even the simplest name
can, and will, vary in spelling:
Smith, Smithe, Smit, Smyth,
Smythe, Smidt, Schmid,
Schmit, and on and on.
You will almost always find
some differences in the
spelling of your ancestors'


name, however, the correct
spelling is not as important as
determining that it is the
correct ancestor.
If all the other pieces of the
puzzle fit, you are probably
safe to assume it is the correct
person.
Anyone who has tran-
scribed a document has seen
a surname spelled more than
one way in the same docu-
ment. This will happen when
a will or deed is written by a
clerk or attorney, spelling the
name the way they think it is
spelled.
The document is then
signed by the person the way
he actually spells his name, or
at least spelled it at that
moment. Or maybe someone

Indiantown men sentenced
in child porn case

In what Assistant U.S. Attorney Corey Steinberg
called a "horrendous case," two Martin County men
were sentenced to 30 and three years, respectively for
filming or receiving a video of minors having sex in
one of their homes.
U.S. District Judge Donald Graham sentenced
Randy Charles Harris, 37, of Indiantown to 30 years in
prison, and Salvador Pascual Aguirre, 23, of
Indiantown to three years.
Mr. Harris pleaded guilty to one count of persuading
a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to pro-
duce a visual depiction and one count of conspiracy
to persuade a minor to engage in sexually explicit con-
duct to produce a visual depiction.
Mr. Aguirre pleaded guilty to receiving a visual
depiction of a minor involved in sexual activity. He
received a lighter sentence for testifying against Mr.
Harris.
A third man, Leonard Parks Jr., 24, pleaded guilty to
conspiracy to have a minor engage in sex acts to pro-
duce a visual depiction and faces between 15 and 30
years when he is sentenced.
The trio were caught after Martin County detectives
were shown a cell-phone video or Mr. Harris taping
two 16-year-old boys having sex at his house. Detec-
tives estimate that eight children ranging from 12 to
16 years old were involved in the videos.

Sewall's Point man sues
Martin County tax appraiser

For only the second time in 29 years, the Martin
County tax appraiser's office finds itself on the
defense after being sued for revoking the homestead
exemption on a county homeowner.
Alan Finegold, a former Pittsburg attorney who now
lives in Sewall's Point, filed suit against Property
Appraiser Laurel Kelly after her department revoked
the Florida exemption that he had claimed on a
Jensen Beach home from 2004 to 2006. The depart-
ment then filed a lien against Mr. Finegold's Sewall's
Point home to recover $15,655 in back taxes, interest
and penalties.
Ms. Kelly said that Mr. Finegold was not entitled to
the exemption since there was also an exemption
claimed simultaneously on a home in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Finegold alleges that the home was in his wife's
name only, so he was justified in having his own
homestead exemption here in Martin County. Ms. Kel-
ley says the Pennsylvania property was jointly owned
between the two of them.
Property liens to recover back taxes from unfairly
claimed homestead exemptions are common, although
lawsuit challenges to them are not. Martin County has

CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION
ARTICLE VII, SECTIONS 3%4, AND 6
ARTICLE XII, SECTION 27
(Legislative)
Property Tax Exemptions; Umltations on Property Tax
Assessments
This revision proposes changes to the State Constitution
relating to property taxation. With respect to homestead
property, this revision: (1) increases the homestead''
exemption except for school district taxes and (2) allows
homestead property owners to transfer up to $500,000 of
their Save-Our-Homes benefits to their next homestead.
With respectto nonhomestead property, this revision (3)
provides a $25,000 exemption for tangible personal property
and (4) lImits assessment increases for specified
nonhomestead real property except for school district taxes.
In more detail, this revision:
(1) Inreases the homestead exemption by exempting

(2) Provides for the transfer of accumulated Save-Our-
Homes benefits. Homestead property owners willbe able to
transfer their Save-Our-Homes benefit to a new homestead
within 1 year and not more than 2 year after relinquishing
their previous homestead; except, if this revision is
approved by the electors in January of 2008 and If the new
homestead is established on January 1, 2008, the previous
homestead must have been relinquished in 2007. If the
new homestead has a higher just value than the previous
one, the accumulated benefit can be transferred; if the new
homestead has a lower just value, the amount of benefit
transferred will be reduced, The transferred benefit may not
exceed $500,000. This provision applies to all taxes.
(3) Authorizes an exemption from property taxes of

Futher terhis revision:
a. Repeals obsolete language on the homestead

Ride to Provide. The pro-
ceeds will go to benefit chil-
dren housed at Nueva Vida
(New Life) Orphanage in
Managua, Nicaragua. Most
riders, like Mr. Greene,
enlisted friends and rela-
tives to sponsor them for
the "bikeathon."
"Some, like myself, have
gone to people we do busi-
ness with and gotten
pledges from them," he
said. "My mom and dad are
contributing... my next-


..


door neighbors are con-
tributing."
Mr. Greene said he's been
biking for about 25 years
and even used to compete
around the nation and in
Mexico. His goal was to try
and raise enough funds to
cover the operating expens-
es of the orphanage for a
year.
Mr. Greene convinced
one of his mountain biking
partners, St. Lucie County
property appraiser Jerry Bit-
tie, to take part in Ride to
Provide. Since street racing
was new to him, Mr. Bittle,
52, bought a new street bike
to use in the bikeathon, as
well as finding a couple of
sponsors.
"I hope this is an annual
event," he said. "It's a win-
win situation, and it's for a
good cause."
Calling himself "a new-
bie," Mr. Bittle said doing
both legs of the ride was a
little too ambitious for him,
so he just rode one way.
"Just knowing we were
doing something positive
made it worth the effort," he
said.
One of the female riders
was 57-year-old Nancy
Arnold of Stuart, who said
she really enjoyed the ride
for more than just the
scenery.
"It's a good cause," she
said. "We like riding for a
cause, and we have lots of
eye candy," she added,
referring to all the guys she
and the women were sur-
rounded by in the race.
Another of the women,
Sharon Fletcher of Jupiter,
also said riding with the
guys was a motivation for
her but turned serious
when the topic of aban-
doned children in
Nicaragua came up.
"Every one of us is just
lucky, compared to the kids
at the orphanage," she said.
RichYost of Palm City also
participated in the event.
He said it took the group
about six hours in total to.
make the round trip,
including three water
breaks and time to fix five
flat tires. Even, though he's
used to riding long dis-
tances and rode 35 miles

Ask The Jeweler

20th-Century

Jewelry

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

part in charitable activities.
"Here at Crossroads, we
support our employees'
desires to participate in the
community and support the
various charities that they
are working with," he said.
"In fact, it's a requirement
of working at Crossroads to
complete volunteer work."
After the ride, Mr. Greene
said the number of partici-
pating cyclists rose at one
point to about 18, with
some joining in and drop-
ping out along the way.
There was even one Martin
County woman, Shelly
Brandt, who he said was
lagging behind and got sep-
arated from the group in
Jensen Beach and ended up
taking a longer route back.
She later told him she was
spurred on to finish alone
by the images of the chil
dren. The group raised
about $2,500 for the
orphanage, and he said he
was pleased with all those
who tookpart.
"I was very satisfied with
the people who showed
up," he said. "They're the
foundation... it was a good
time to get everybody
together and support one
another."
Maranatha Church pas-
tor Rick Whitter said the
four-year-old orphanage is
home to about 38 children
who are currently housed in
a four-bedroom house,
which is "bursting at the
seams."
"They're in desperate
need of financial support
and people who can come
down and give some hands-
on support to build things,"
he said.
Pastor Whitter says he first
got involved with the
orphanage through a mutu-
al friend who works with
global disaster relief and
'brought the matter to his
attention. He and several
members of the church trav-
eled to the orphanage in
early December to take
donations and Christmas
presents to the kids.
"Our plans are to go back
this spring and hopefully
help them to construct
some buildings for the
orphanage," he said.
The problem of abpi

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers. -

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't
know me, I should tell you that I don't profess
to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who
was always perfect for the past 38 years.
When I look at some of my past advertising
and sales tactics, I am not always proud.
But I have evolved as my customers have
evolved. My customers' expectations, level
of education and sophistication are much
higher today, Your customers are no different.
My remarks are made sincerely and with a
positive intent toward you and your custom-
ers. I am not trying to tell you
how to run your business. I "AMy CU
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectat
customers, e
Virtually every car dealer of educe
In Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a sophistU
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 tmuch hig
to nearly $1,000. This extra
charge is programmed into
your computer. It has been made illegal in
many states including Califomia, but is still
legal in Florida. The reason you charge this
fee is simply to increase the price of the car
and your profit In such a manner that it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
and when I stopped charging it a few years
ago it was scary. But I did it because I could
no longer, in good conscience, mislead my
customers. Just because everybody else
was doing the same thing, did not make it
correct.


Now, here Is the good news. After eliminat-
ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop
by about the amount of the dealer fee, but
my customers realized I was now giving them
a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the-
door price with no "surprises". And the word
spread. My volume of car sales began to rise
rapidly. Sure, I was making a few hundred
dollars less per car, but I was selling a lot
more cars. I was and am selling cars to many
of your former customers. My bottom line
has improved, not because I eliminated the


tstomers'
ions, level


ft
ca
0h


dealer fee, but because I was
able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
or used car. You can do the
same.


ion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
tlion are I think of myself as the new
"sheriff' that has come to
tr today." "clean up South Florida". In
fact, I am well aware that this
letter Is, to some extent, self-
serving. Many people will read this letter and
learn why they should buy a car from me,
and not you. And, I am also aware that most
dealers who read this will either get angry and
ignore it or not have the courage to follow my
lead. But maybe you will be the exception. If
you have any interest in following my lead,
call me anytime. I don't have a secretary and
I don't screen any of my phone calls, I would
love to chat with you about this.,
Sincerely,
Earl Stewart Earl Stewart Toyota

Check for Ethanol

For the past three or four weeks, my van was cutting off,
acting sluggish. I did not think of the possibility that it was
because of the gasoline I was buying. A friend told me to
just fill it up the last time it became half empty with a
supreme gas just to see if my van stopped stalling out. The
Wal-mart gas stations have now added Ethanol to the gas,
so pay attention folks. Maybe that's your problem too.

Everyone should take responsibility

Civil servants need to stop getting away with crimes just
because of their profession. I was in a car accident with the
son of a fireman. He hit me while I was on my bike. Some-
one told me that because he was the son of a fireman, the
police would see it his way and that the accident was
clearly my fault.

Turn it down or turn it off

This is an agreement with the rant about TV background
music so loud that it drowns out the dialog. I agree. I have a
solution change to another channel. If enough of us do
this, then the broadcasters and advertisers will feel it in
their wallets. This should get their attention.

Free ticket home

The United States is going to hell in a handbag; we need
someone in office that stops giving away everything to
people that are here illegally. We pay taxes; they don't. Let's
give them something else.free, a free ride back to their
country.

Give Pete Rose a chance

For those who closely follow baseball (I don't), it is sad to
find those who many look up to going down the wrong
path.
Those taking steroids and performance drugs have given
those who are now playing, and those who have made their
mark on the sport, a disadvantage.
In Mr. Mitchell's report we find that many more players
than Barry Bonds are guilty of using drugs to enhance their
performance. .
What a shame to young athletes, who seem to knownmore
than the general public, as to what it takes to be successful.
Mr. Mitchell said, "We cannot be engaged in a neverend-
ing search for every player who ever used performance-
enhancing substances." It's massive and where do you
start?
It has gone back too far to root out all who have taken
advantage of those who looked the other way. How many
would we have.to remove from the Hall of Fame?
Let's now go back a few years when Pete Rose was not to
be considered for the Hall of Fame. Between 1963-86,hg :
was the all time Major League hitting champ. He was a
major part of winning three World Series.


He was known as "Mr. Hustle." He never walked to a base,
even when he was walked. Home runs were not his style.
He preferred to drop in a single or double to get a score.
Since that time, gambling has become acceptable.
Although I see no reason to give a state or casino my
money for the chance to win millions those in the
business are not charitable institutions. "Numbers" and
even bingo were once considered criminal activities. But if
the state sanctions gambling, it is now said to be good for
our schools, etc.
If enjoyment is gotten by throwing away expendable
income, have a blast. I'm not going to stand in your way.
Gambling, however, is not in the same league with drugs
that may destroy our national sport. Not only for those
involved, but kids that look up to their heroes that are
known drug users.
So what happened? Did Pete Rose take drugs? No. He was
an inspiration to those who knew his whole heart was in
the game. There was a flaw, however. He gambled on teams
he thought could win. Certainly he was always on the side
of the Reds. If he betted against his own team, it would be
horrific. It never happened. His crime was betting, and not
drugs. If according to Mr. Mitchell, there is too much of a
tangled web to sort out drug offenders, lets have a closer
look at Pete Rose, whose crime was betting.
The BBWAA should give him another shot at the Hall of
Fame.

Bus servii is top notch

We are here from England visiting on our sailboat,
staying on the dock at the Municipal Marina, and I would
like to say thank you to everyone that makes the Goline bus
service work so well.
A big thank you to all the drivers. They are so helpful and
courteous. The buses are clean and traffic permitting on
time.
It is such a help to have a public service like this available
to us, and with the local knowledge the drivers supply
makes it an even more enjoyable stop on the waterway
south.
We realize this is made possible by local tax dollars, and
to provide this service free of charge is quite amazing. To
get people out of their cars is difficult. There are many


Letters


D Dea&rEditor,


Patriotism and support for our American soldiers in Iraq is
alive and strong in my class at J.D.Parker School of Science,
Math & Technology.
My class has been writing to a local soldier, Commander
Gene Rathgeber.
The students began writing as part of a language arts proj-
ect. However, it grew into a social studies, reading, music,
and even math project.
Even more importantly, it became a lesson in caring about
others.
Commander Rathgeber is a true hero. He not only serves
our country, but also took the time'to write back to the stu-
dents, and even visited the classroom during his recent
leave.
The students presented him with an American flag made
from their handprints -they gave a part of themselves to let
the soldiers know they are remembered.
Commander Rathgeber brought this flag back with him to
share with his personnel. These men are heroes and need to
be remembered. We thank them for all that they are doing in
support of our freedom.

Don't rely on drugs as cure all

So manyADHD children treated with Ritalin; increasing
astronomically, daily, one has to wonder where all these
abnormal children are coming from.
The writer was right that the ADHD diagnosis is based on
someone's opinion and not medical tests. How did earlier
generations make their way without Ritalin? Most overactive
children in previous generations played hard and tired
themselves out, then outgrew or learned to cope with their
energy. If a child is on Ritalin, will that child learn to channel
that energy that could, one day, become an asset?
Parents complain that teachers tell them to get their children
on Ritalin. Doctors get their information about drugs from
drug salesmen (no degree required), on commission for selling
these legalized drugs. Neither is a formula for success.
I watch ads on TV for heartburn medication that go some-
thing like this: "There have been some instances of liver failure,
heart attacks, gastric ulcers, and death. If any of these symp-
toms appear, tell your doctor." The doctor should just say, "Fast
for 24 hours,.then eat smaller portions, lose weight, drink more
* water or mint tea, and avoid fat."
Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but medicine is not a science;
it's a crap shoot. No doctor has a crystal ball with the right
answers. They try this. If it doesn't work, try that. For the other
side of the coin, read www.ReverseADHD.com. How many
deaths have to occur before a drug is pulled off the market? I
lost both parents to doctor prescribed drug error. My children
and I were put on Seldane for congestion. Seldane caused
heart arrhythmia, defibrillation and deaths before being taken
off the market. I was put on Aleve and Celebrex and found my
blood pressure and arthritis soar. A pharmacist made a
mistake and gave my 6-month-old niece lanoxin instead of
amoxicillin for an ear infection at a dose that should have
stopped her heart and killed her.
Nowwe turn the drug companies loose on too many of our
children. Madness!

Benefits should go to Americans,
not to illegals

I am not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican.
I am an American who was born here and worked here
until I got hit and had to file for disability. I was turned
down. Now people who come from another country, who
are not American, who are not even citizens file for disabili-
ty and they get it on the first try.
I know at least one person who does not even live here in
this countryand he gets disability. I don't understand how
is this possible. It is time this country of ours wakes up and
stops this.
I have already reported this person arid nothing has been
done about it. This was over a year ago.
We need honest people in the government positions to
start to care about our own people here. We need to stop
the ones who are in office only to fatten their wallets off of
hard-working Americans and give it to other countries and
to people who come here and file for these benefits.

FSU must punish cheating athletes

(Florida State University) will do itself and the Florida
college community a great favor by dismissing the "scholars"
who cheated on tests and exams.
Bobby Bowden does not want his record of wins to be
messed with.
Teach the youth of today that sports can be fun and honest.

Tax relief package now


rests in voters' hands


ohn Adams said,
"Property is surely a
right of mankind as
real as liberty."
His words reflect the
principles that have
guided the Florida
Legislature through the
process of bringing
property tax relief to the
people of our state.
The right to property is
essential to the American
dream. When that right is
threatened by unexpect-
ed, unbearable spikes in
property taxes, relief must
be provided.
The Legislature passed
a comprehensive consti-
tutional amendment last
year that, if approved by
voters on Jan. 29, will
provide that relief.
One of the key provi-
sions in our relief package
allows homeowners to
transfer their Save Our
Homes tax benefitto a
new home. This policy,
called portability, will
spark Florida's economy
with only minimal
impact on local govern-
ment. When one family
downsizes into a smaller
home that better meets
their needs, thanks to
portability, another family
can afford to move into
that home.
This policy eliminates
the "lock-in effect," which
has prevented homeown-
ers often seniors or


JEFF ATWATER
Senate president-designate

empty nesters from
moving into smaller
homes as their needs or
lifestyles changed.
Portability gives Floridi-
ans the freedom to choose
where to live and what
sort of home to buy, based
on the needs of their
families, not on a failed
tax policy.
The amendment also
doubles the homestead
exemption, providing an
additional $25,000
exemption for the value of
homestead property
above $50,000 (excluding
school taxes). This will
allow the tax benefit to
keep pace with the
increased price of hous-
ing. More than 94 percent
of Florida homeowners
will enjoy tax relief under
the increased exemption.
Once approved by the


voters, this benefit will
provide relief on your next
tax bill.
The proposed constitu-
tional amendment creates
a new exemption from
taxes on tangible personal
property of $25,000 and
eliminates the need for
businesses to file a return
if they have less than
$25,000 in tangible
personal property. This
change will exempt more
than a million Floridians
from this tax, out of a
total of 1.2 million who
currently pay it. Many
Floridians actually spent
more money complying
with related paperwork
than they owed in TPP
taxes. This proposed
amendment will cut away
that red tape.
Small business owners,
second homeowners,
renters and others will
benefit from the fourth
component of the Legisla-
ture's tax relief plan,
which places a 10 percent
cap on assessments of
non-homestead proper-
ties.
Most non-homestead
property owners have
experienced "sticker
shock" when looking at
their tax bills in recent
years. This cap provides
predictability for all
properties in Florida; no

The will of the people


The will of the
people." What an
interesting con-
cept. The term describes a
bedrock principle of every
democratic society.
The translation of it,
from concept to reality in
public policy, requires
individual action by
'participant voters.
The actions of the 2007
Legislature, as expressed
in the much-debated Jan.
29 Constitutional amend-
ment vote, place this
simple but complex
principle as the next step
up the staircase of Flori-
da's ongoing property tax
reform efforts.
The legislature has
basically said we decide
for you to decide.
In our democracy "the
people" are in charge of
their government through
elected officials acting on
their behalf. Only short-
term elected officials act
without feedback.
What if there is an
expressed public need but
not all citizens want it
delivered the same way?
Property tax reform
demands have been like
that. Most property
owners I've talked to think
reform through reduced
taxes (spending) is need-
ed..
Reduced spending,
however, requires deci-
sions on who cuts what,
how much, where and
when?
Last year, most reform-
ers agreed with cutting


MORGAN GILREATH
Volusia County
property appraiser

property taxes and placing
permanent spending caps
on local governments.
However, many wanted
deeper cuts. The cry is
now not just for reform,
but for specific types and
methodologies of reform.
A short year ago, many
were joyous to see "tax
reform" on the legislative
agenda and now oppose
one form of reform versus
another. One could say the
rubber has hit the road as
individuals and tax reform
groups begin to clearly see
and define their own "devil
in the details" as tax
reform continues to
evolve.
The American Revolu-
tion began, in part, as a
revolt against unfair
taxation from England.
The importance of taxa-
tiori is such that creation
of new taxes can only be
done through our state


constitution. Therefore,
significant changes to
constitutional systems
generally involve constitu-
tional amendments, only
approved by the expressed
will of the people.
Our own state Legisla-
ture worked diligently
through two special
sessions to pass meaning-
ful tax reform.
Much is being said by
many about the Jan. 29
amendment, both pro and
con. The "spin" is on.
Some say it doesn't do
enough, some say it does
too much; others say it
really isn't needed at all.
It's getting hard to figure
who is spinning what.
Some who were for it
before are against it now. I
think both citizens and
local governments sent a
lot of mixed signals to the
legislature. A lot of people
tell me they're confused.
The Jan. 29 amendment
offers four tax reform
solutions:
It creates "portability"
of the Save Our Homes
benefit, up to $500,000.
You will be able to move.
without property tax
penalty, taking your SOH
benefit with you to the
next home. It applies
retroactively to those who
had the exemption as of
Jan. 1, 2007 and moved
into another home within
two years.
Everyone with a
homestead exemption will

Take a positive approach to driving safety
There are (many) rules to being a good driver, but the
(following) are a good start.
Always leave a safe following distance. It will get you out of
more jams than anything. Slow down. Calm down. Obey speed
limits. Speed turns a fender bender into a fatality.
I go nuts (when) people won't get out of the way of an
emergency vehicle. Pull over when the emergency vehicle is
within sight and put on your flashers. Some drivers are playing


loud music or have impaired hearing. The flashers wake them
up. Don't worry that someone might pass you.
Yellow lights are stop signals, too. If it is too late, fine. Howev-
er, red light means full and immediate stop no matter what.
Stop signs are full stop. A "rolling stop" is not a stop, but a yield,
and requires that yellow yield sign.
Courtesy on the road decreases stress, so be polite. Let
someone cut in if they are trying. Change to the left lane if
someone is merging onto a freeway. If someone catches up to
you, let them pass.


On a freeway, if you are going slower, ride in the right lane.
Let the speed freaks have the left passing lane. If you are on a
two-lane highway and have to go especially slow, pulling a
trailer or something, when you get a line behind you, pull over
and let them all pass.
Stop before a cross walk and always behind that wide
stopping line. If a trucker tries to (turn) a corner, give the
guy a break. Or the lady. You have to stop if a bus is taking
on or discharging children. Be extra careful of the children.

arrangements for the
future. By dodging these
subjects we set our kids up
to be as financially con-
fused as we are.
Just because we aren't
teaching our kids about
money, doesn't mean they
aren't spending it.
According to a 2007 CBS
News story, kids between 8
and 12 spend $30 billion of
their own money every
year.
Fortunately, the biggest
influence on how kids
spend is not advertising,
friends, or TV program-
ming, it's you.
If you want your children
to be financially responsi-
ble, show them how.
Start with an allowance:
An allowance is an
opportunity for your child
to learn about income and
budgeting and a way for
you to get some relief from
their requests for money
and purchases.
Generally, if a child is old
enough to ask you to buy
things, he or she is old
enough for an allowance.
Even preschoolers can
handle small amounts of
money for personal
purchases.
Now, how much?
Depending on you and
your family's financial
situation, try 50 cents a
week for each year of age
(an 8 year old would
receive $4 a week). Or, give
your child an amount
equal to his or her grade in
school ($3 a week for a
third grader).
Set a budget:
Help your child learn to
manage money by setting
a budget. List all of the
expenses you have
approved and how much
money should go to each,
balancing sayings, charity
and gifts with fun items.
Whatever budget you set,
stick to it. Children are
less likely to hold onto
their money if they know
you will help them when
they run out. If your child
runs out of money, use it
as an opportunity to talk
about the consequences of

overspending.
Teach saving:
Once they live with a
budget, kids quickly
discover they don't always
have enough money to
buy what they want when
they want it. Helping them
work toward bigger
purchases can be a great
introduction to saving.
Start with a piggy bank
or children's account at
your personal bank. Show
your child how to keep
track of deposits and
interest by looking at their
account online. You may
also want to help your
children find ways to earn
extra money to reach their
goals faster.
Practice, practice,
practice:
By starting young, kids
have a chance to practice
financial skills they'll need
as adults. Besides budget-
ing and saving, you can
introduce them to "grown-
up" tools such as checking
accounts and debit cards.
Many banks offer youth
or teen checking accounts
that allow kids to learn
how to pay bills, balance
accounts and use ATM and
debit cards wisely all with
your oversight.
With a little help from
you, your kids will develop
good financial habits now
that will last them a
lifetime.

Make some financial resolutions,


and then stick to them


If you make a New Year's
resolution, and you don't
follow through on it,
what are the consequences?
It all depends.
If you vow to learn French,
but you never get past "Oui,
mademouiselle," your life
will probably go on pretty
much as before (unless, of
course, you're now living in
France). But if you make
some financial resolution,
and you abandon them, you
could fall short of your long-
term goals such as a
comfortable retirement.
Consequently, you'll want
to set reasonable and
attainable financial solu-
tions and then discipline
yourself to achieve them.
What sort of resolutions
might you make?
Consider the following:
* Boost your 401(k)
contributions this year and
every year. If your employer
offers a 401 (k) or similar
retirement place such as a
401 (b) or 457(b), take full
advantage of it. Your
earnings have the potential
to grow on a tax-deferred
basis, and, because you
typically make pre-tax
contributions, the more you
invest, the lower your
annual taxable income.
' Furthermore, you may
have a dozen or more
investment options within


your plan, so you can tailor
your choices to reflect your
individual risk tolerance,
goals and horizon. If your
salary goes up every year,
increase your 401 (k)
contributions at the same
time. Since the money will
automatically be deducted
from your paycheck, you
shouldn't find it hard to
keep this financial "resolu-
tion."
Contribute the maxi-
mum amount to your IRA.
Your traditional or Roth IRA
can be a key part of your
retirement savings. A
traditional IRA can poten-
tially grow tax-deferred,
while a Roth IRA's earnings
have the potential to grow
tax-free, provided you don't
withdraw until you reach 59
1/2 and you've had your
account at least five years.
Unfortunately, many people
don't fully fund their IRAs
each year because they are
intimidated by the contri-
bution limits ($5,000 per
year, $6,000 if you're over
50.) But there's no need to
fund your IRA all at once;
you can do it incrementally.
Why not write out a check
to your IRA each time you
get paid, or, better yet, have
the money automatically
sent from your checking
account?
Again, it will be easier to


JAMIE CHAPOGAS
Financial Adviser
keep this resolution if you
don't have to work at it.
* Build an emergency
fund. This resolution may
take a bit more effort, but
it's worth it. If you can put
away six to 12 months'
worth of living expenses
into a liquid account, and
only use the money for
emergencies car repairs,
unexpected doctors' bills,
etc. you may be able to
avoid dipping into your
investments to pay for these
costs And the less you tap
into your investments, the
better.
* Cut your debts. Here's
another solution that ,
sounds simple, but can be
difficult to acheive. Yet,
every dollar that doesn't
have to go for a debt
payment can be invested for

receive a property tax cut
of roughly $295, as each
Florida resident owner
receives a second $25,000
exemption (applying after
$50,000 in value). This
does not apply to school
taxes (meaning the added
exemption is effectively a
little more than $15,.000).-
All non-homesteaded
.properties (all other
properties) receive a SOH-
like value cap of 10 percent
per year. This limits
increases in taxable value
and therefore, taxes, much


like SOH does on homes,
just at a higher percentage.
All Florida businesses
receive a new $25,000
exemption on their
tangible personal property
(business machinery,
furniture, computers,
equipment, etc.). This
exemption also applies-to
mobile home attachments
on rented land. This will
benefit all, but have more
impact on small business-
es.
The Florida Legislature
has laid out the tax reform


playing field and has given
the decision on what
happens to those bearing
the benefits (Or the pain)
from the consequences.
As we all exercise our
constitutional right to vote
on Jan. 29, Florida's first
tax reform measures will
truly reflect the will of the
people.

Volusia County property
appraiser. Part II of his
series on tax reform will

HAVING MORE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

IS NOT THE SAME

AS HAVING MORE MONEY.
Many investors won't put all their retirement savings
at a single broker because they believe it's far too risky.
:Actually, there may be more risk in having multiple
accounts. Without a single focus, it can be difficult to keep
track of your investments and to see if you're properly
diversified.." At the very least, multiple accounts usually
mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve
all that. Plus, one statement makes it easier to see if you're
moving toward your goals,.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit, nor does it protect
against loss.

To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts
to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local
financial advisor today.

ance," Sen. Nelson said. "We
are importing more than we
are exporting. You've got to
get your trade imbalance
fixed."
In a reply to another man's
question as to why he didn't
try and "get us out of Iraq,"
the senator talked about the
complicated situation in that
Middle East nation and the
need to get at least 60 sena-
tors in agreement on the
issue.
He blamed the current
administration for not send-
ing enough troops to Iraq in
the beginning and for having
disbanded the Iraqi army,
saying the fighting between
the Sunnis and the Shiites


dates back to an ancient
feud.
It will take a new adminis-
tration in order to see the
troops withdrawn, he
emphasized, saying he sup-
ports another option cur-
rently ignored by President
Bush's team.
"I support Sen. (Joseph)
Biden's plan for Iraq," he said,
referring to the Delaware
senator's proposal to divide
Iraq into three autonomous
regions for the Kurds, Sunnis
and the Shiites. "Then, we
could have a phased with-
drawal."
Senator Nelson was intro-
duced to the, audience by
Martin County Commission
Chairman Doug Smith, who
presented him with a trophy
for having supported an
override of President Bush's

veto of the Water Resources
Development Act, enabling
Everglades and Indian River
Lagoon restoration to pro-
ceed. Emphasizing that he
grew up along the Lagoon
near Melbourne, the senator
credited local officials for
having first revealed the
severity of the problem to
him some years ago by taking
him along on a boat ride.
Calling that a "sobering
day" for him, the experience
motivated him to convince
his fellow senators of the
waterway's dire need for
restoration.
. "There were no mullet
jumping, no porpoises rolling,
no pelicans diving, no fish
hawks or eagles none of the
stuff that should have been
happening," he said.
Calling the restoration of
half of the Kissimmee River "a
huge success," Senator Nel-
son reminded the audience
that much work remains to be
done in the complicated sce-
nario of Everglades restora-
tion and water resources.
"Now we have six. million
people living in South Flori-
da," he said. "It's a big chal-
lenge to satisfy water needs."
The senator also addressed
the issue of the nation's bor-
ders after one man in atten-
dance blamed illegal immi-
grants for the lower pay scale
today in the construction
industry. He talked about the
new surveillance methods
along the country's border
with Mexico but said detain-
ing and deporting 12 million
illegal immigrants all at once
was not an option on the
table due to the negative
effect it would have on the
tourism, construction and
agricultural industries.
"We are in de facto amnesty
because we (as a country)
aren't doing anything," he
said. "I am trying to find a
solution, but I have got to
form a consensus and get 60
votes."
One of the last questions he
fielded was why he still
opposes drilling off the Flori-

da coastline when he stresses*
the importance of weaning
America from its addiction to
foreign oil. He prefaced his
comments on his recent
refusal to allow drilling in the
northern Gulf of Mexico by
saying the people in the room
"did not know" what he was
about to reveal to them.
"You all realize that we have
a $50 billion tourism industry
that depends on pristine
beaches," he said. "What you
don't know is that it (the
northern Gulf) is a restricted
air space. You simply can't
have oil rigs where we (the
military) are constantly test-
ing live weapons."
The senator emphasized
that he'd be much more will-
ing to negotiate on drilling in
other areas of the Gulf if the
nation changed its policy
from "drill, drill, drill" to an
alternative energy policy.
"The United States should
be the first nation in the world
to be energy independent, but
we're not," he added. "Brazil is
energy independent. They
made a policy decision years
ago to make ethanol from a
crop they grow very well -
sugarcane."
The shocking energy news
he dropped on the crowd was
when he spoke about U.S.
reliance on Venezuelan oil
(15-20 percent) and Nigerian
oil (12 percent), the latter a
nation with a growing militant
Muslim population whose oil
fields, he said, "are completely
unprotected."
The Venezuelan president
has more than once threat-
ened to stop selling America
oil, Senator Nelson added,
and a terrorist attack sinking
an oil tanker in the extremely
narrow Strait of Gibraltar
would bring petroleum ship-
ping out of the Middle East to
a halt. Either way, he empha-
sized, a future interruption in
the flow of oil is inevitable.
"Whatever it is, it's coming,"
he said. "We'd be so mu4hbet-
ter prepared if we'dpo it( con-
serve energy usage) ahead of
time."

Should you buy a car through a broker? FIND ALL


Earl Stewart is the owner
and general manager of
Earl Stewart Toyota in
North Palm Beach. The
dealership is located at
1215 N. Federal Highway
in Lake Park. Contact him
at www.earlstewarttoy-
ota.com, call (561) 358-
1474, fax (561) 658-0746 or
e-mail earls@earlstewart-
toyota.com.
If you aren't familiar
with car brokers, they
are third parties,
mostly individuals, but
some companies, who act
as an intermediary
between you and the car
dealer, supposedly to get
you a better price than you
would be able to obtain by
yourself.
Most dealerships,
including mine, deal with
brokers. Virtually all
brokers are paid a fee by
the dealer and some also
charge the customer. A
"double dip" you might
say.
The fee the brokers
charge range all over the
map. I don't remember
paying a broker less than
$500 and have paid up to
$5,000. The charges to the
customers range from
$250 to $750. If the broker
is charging you a fee, you
can be almost certain he is
also charging the dealer at
least as large a fee.
Another way brokers do
business is to actually buy
the car and then sell it
again to you. To do this
they must have a dealer
license, otherwise they


"If the broker is charging you a fee, you can be
almost certain he is also charging the dealer at
least as large a fee"


EARL STEWART
On Cars


would have to pay sales
tax on the transaction.
Buying the car allows them
to mark the car up to you
as their compensation.
They may charge you a fee
too.
As you can see, the price
of going through a broker
raises the price of the car
you buy. The only question
is, does it raise the price
above what you could buy
the car directly?
The answer to this
question depends entirely
on your buying skills. If
you are of average intelli-
gence and follow the
advice that I've given in
these columns, you should
be able to buy most cars at
as low a price as a broker
can.
This means you will save
anywhere from $500 to
$5,500 in fees that you
don't have to pay. I don't
care what a broker may tell
you, a dealer will always
sell you the car at just as
low a price as he charges a
broker, if you are a skilled


buyer and do your home-
work.
Of course there are
reasons other than price
that car buyers seek out
brokers.
As I've often said, buying
-a car can be a very
unpleasant experience.
One of my columns is
entitled, "Should I Buy a
Car or Have a
Colonoscopy?" If you go
about buying a car the
right way, you minimize
the unpleasantness. Don't
ever go into a dealership
without doing your
homework about the exact
year, make and model you
want, accessorized exactly
as you wish. Always get at
least three competitive
prices. If at all possible; do
your shopping in the
comfort of your home on
the Internet. If you're not
cyber-savvy, ask for help
from a friend, son, daugh-
ter or grandchild who is.
You will get your best price
on the Internet without
ever having to leave the
comfort of your home.
Two excellent Web sites
you can consult are
www.kbb.com and
www.edmunds. com. They
have vast amounts of free
information on dealer
cost, quality ratings, trade
in values, etc.


A lot of people rely on
their credit unions for
advice on which dealer
they should buy a car
from. It sounds like a good
idea, because your credit
union handles thousands
of these transactions and
has experience with lots of
car dealers.
I must warn you that
there are employees in
credit unions who are paid
by the car dealers for
referrals not any different
than a broker's fee. Also,
many credit unions sell
extended warranties on
cars that they finance and
may refer you to dealers
who agree not to offer to
sell you their extended
warranty.
This is a potential
conflict of interest. I
advise you to get at least
three competitive prices
from three dealers, includ-
ing the one that your
credit union referred you
to.
If you are accustomed to
going through a broker to
buy your cars, I suggest
that on your next pur-
chase, you also get prices
directly from two other
dealers. Compare those
prices with your broker's
price and be sure you don't
pay him his fee unless you
buy the car through him.

Rants & Raves
-From page A7


I do not approve of under-posted areas
set up as speed traps. This makes people
lose respect for all law enforcement and
should be beneath the dignity of all officers
of the law. It also causes resentment afnd
anger that becomes a traffic hazard.

Disputes support for Bill Clinton
during impeachment
I strongly disagree with the reader who
stated that the public supported Bill Clinton
during his impeachment proceedings.
We, along with many others were shocked
and ashamed to have such an individual in
the White House. He made us the laughing-


stock of the world as I found out when on a
tour in South America. Our guide men-
tioned that Clinton had been down there
and that they had to lock up all (of) their
women to keep him away. It was a big joke,
and as an American I was relieved to have
the Clintons out and George and Laura
Bush in their place. Many still feel that way.

More support for a Christian U.S.
A key case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court
during the early months of 1892, the Church of
the HolyTrinity vs. United States, resulted in
this decision: "No purpose of action against
religion can be imputed to any legislation,
state or national, because this is a religious


people ... This is a Christian nation," wrote
Justice David J. Brewer.
George Washington's prayer for America:
'Almighty God; we make our earnest prayer
that thou wilt keep the United States in thy
holy protection ... that thou wilt most gra-
ciously be pleased to dispose us all to do
justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves
with that charity, humility, and pacific temper
of mind which were the characteristics of the
divine author of our blessed religion, and
without a humble imitation of whose example
in these things we can'never hope to be a
happy nation."
Patrick Henry said, "It cannot be empha-
sized too strongly or too often that this great
nation was founded not be religionists but by


Christians ... not on religions but on the
Gospel of Jesus Christ" (1776).
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John
Jay, said, "'Americans should select and prefer
Christians as their rulers."
Editor's note: The quote attributed to Patrick
Henry is in dispute by both www.truthorfic-
tion.com and www.snopes.com, with the latter
stating, 'Another spurious quotation. These
words appear nowhere in the writings or
recorded utterances of Patrick Henry."
Also, John Jay's exact quote, according to
www.Truthorfiction.com, is "Providence has
given to our people the choice of their rulers,
and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and
interest of our Christian nation to select and
prefer Christians for their rulers."

Resolutions


ensure healthy


year for children


The New Year is a time
for resolutions, and
the American Acade-
my of Pediatrics has com-
piled a list of age-appropri-
ate resolutions for children,
which I've adapted.
Their suggestions are a
good starting point. Even
for the littlest ones, there's
something they can do to
take care of themselves.
For older kids, it might be
a good idea to let them
make a list of some things
they could do to be safer
and healthier in the New
Year, and if they get
stumped, some of the
academy's suggestions
might help them get started
on their own personal
healthy habits list.

Preschoolers
I will clean up my toys.
I will brush my teeth two
times a day and will wash my
hands after going to the
bathroom and before eating.
I won't tease any dogs,
even if they're friendly, so
that I won't get bitten.
I'll try to be nice to my
baby brother or sister.

Children, ages 5-12
I will drink milk and
water and limit soda and
fruit drinks.
I will wear sunscreen
when I'm outdoors, espe-
cially when I'm playing
sports or at the beach.
I will try to find a sport
or activity that's fun and
physical that I like and will
do at least three times a
week. Anything where I
move around a lot counts.
I will always wear a

I will eat at least one
fruit and one vegetable a
day, and I will limit the
amount of soda I drink.
I will take care of my
body through physical
activity and good nutrition.
I will choose non-violent
video games and television

I will wipe negative talk,

When I feel angry or

to deal with the stress by

in a journal or discussing
the problem with a parent,
other grown-up or trusted

Use energy to get the better life you deserve


JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide
he universe has a
h special purpose and
blessing for every one
of us. Our mission is to go
inside, bring it out and set it
free. The answers lie within.
They have been in our
hearts and soul since birth.
Refuse to let judgment of
the past or worry about the
future hold you back. We
can't change the past, but
we can learn its lessons,
bless it for what it taught us,
forgive it when necessary,
release it and move on and
create a new and better life.
We change the world by
changing ourselves one day
at a time. Don't ever give up.
Make a new plan if the old
one isn't working and keep
on keeping on. Life will
always have its ups and
downs.
Refuse to live like a cork


on the waters of life going
up and down and being at
the mercy of the tides. Stop
where you are right now.
Make a pledge and new
commitment. Say, "I am
tired of running. I deserve a
better life for myself and
those I love."
Sowing new seeds,
growing new roots and
flourishing doing what I love.
What better time to do this
than right now at the
beginning of the NewYehr.
Place faith in the universe,
not the world, and follow
your dream. You can do it.
Your health, wealth and
happiness depend on it.
Stay lean, focused and
pruned. Get rid of the
Negatives in your life such as
old habits, attitudes, people,
events and things that pull
you down and hold you
back. Take an inventory of
how you spend your time.
Rise up today. Find other
positive people with visions
and dreams who inspire you.
Get back in harmony with
life. Rise up from the ashes of
past sadness. Keep your own
life in balance. Don't let
others drain you of your joy.
Life is too short to try to
please everybody else. It's
time to please yourself. Don't
live just to be busy. Find
balance.
The ancient teaching was,
"Be fruitful and multiply" If


one door closes, know that a
better one is about to open.
When your existence meets
resistance, be persistent and
you will prevail. Submit your
will to the higher will. Let the
universe work for and
through you.
What is your mission in
life? Ask this question to 100
people and 95 will give you a
vague answer, such as "to be
happy," "to be wealthy" or "to
be free." They will tell you
what they want, but they


can't give you a plan on how
to get these things.
Who am I, where am I
going and how am I going
to get there safely? It is
within all of us to find the
answers to these life-
transforming questions. We
have to aim at something.
Without a goal, we wander
through the wilderness of
life, usually lost, angry sad,
empty and afraid. We have to

FLUID SITUATIONS
If you discover a puddle of fluid
beneath your parked vehicle, it is
time to check for leaks. If, instead,
you just keep topping off the affect-
ed system, you could be setting
yourself up for trouble. A pool of
reddish fluid, which is typically
transmission fluid, may be indica-
tive of a damaged cooling line,
failing pump, or a bad gasket.
Honey-brown fluid is either oil or
power-steering fluid. Green fluid is
engine coolant, and orange fluid is
long-life engine coolant. Check for
the source of the leak near the
radiator or the rubber hoses that
connect it to the engine. These
hoses typically last three to four
years before they begin to degrade
and require replacement.
At ADVANTAGE FORD OF STUART,
we can help you with any leak your
car may have. We recommend
bringing the vehicle to us at the first
sign of a leak. The longer you wait
the greater the chance for it to
get worse. Located at 4000 S.E.
Federal Highway, we will fix the
cause of the leak before you risk the
components that depend on that
fluid. If you have noticed fluids
leaking from your automobile call
772.781.6540 right away. We're
a "Blue Oval Certified" Ford
dealership.
HINT: Correcting the source of a
leak is usually far less expensive
than later addressing the failure of
a system that relies on that fluid
to work.


life. An old spiritual saying
goes, "Without a dream the
people perish."
Don't be just a joy rider in
life. It takes more energy to
go in circles than to move
forward. Are you going in
circles? Are you feeling
stuck or sidetracked?
There is a far greater way
to live. Identify your
mission in life. Write it
down and then ask the
spirit out loud to bring it to
you. It wants to say, "I was
born to do this. It is my
mission. Nothing can keep
me from my dream."
Say this out loud every
day Aim high. Go above
and beyond. Push your
limits. Turn your life into an
art form of beauty and
grace. You can do it. It's
inside right now yearning
to be set free. It's your
dream, your mission and
your destiny.
Then when the universe
is blessing you, take care of
your ownand family needs
first. Then give back to your
spirit guides. Help those
who have inspired you so
they can continue. You are
now the light. When others
see it pass the torch of
freedom and truth to them


so the next generation can
continue life at it's fullest.
This is a fantastic life well
lived. You wanted a better.
life. You deserved it. Now
you have it. The sweetest
news is the best is yet to
come.

TRAVEL


Take a dream vacation to Peru, South America


t is said that every place on
the planet has something
of interest, and Peru is no
exception with its natural, cul-
tural and human legacies.
You will be amazed by the
sharp contrasts of the forests
and deserts of the coastal
regions; the deep ravines and
snow-capped mountains of
the Andes; the densely'
forested slopes and plains of
vegetation of the Amazon.
Beautiful beaches, deep
caves and some of the longest
rivers on the South American
continent exist in Peru.
Travel along ancient paths
that wind through Peru's
diverse terrains. Take the
opportunity to observe
endangered species in their
natural habitat. See vegeta-
tion that is used in modern-
day medications, as well as


vegetatiorithat is still used
today by the locals for
medicinal purposes.
Peru's population is diverse.
This results in a multitude of
ancient, creative and colorful
folk art. Travelers can join in
celebrations of music and
dance and listen to people
relate the history of their
ancestors.
Visit local villages and
farms. See how the people
manage to grow crops in the
highlands, jungles and coastal
regions.
After a visit to Lima, travel
to Cusco in the ancient sacred
valley of the Incas that dates
to the 15th century. Cusco is
known as the archaeological
capital of the Americas. In
1983, the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization


KATE FOWKES
Travel columnist


declared Cuzco aWorld
Heritage site.
Machu Picchu, 74 miles
north of Cuzco, is known by
many as a mystical place that
exudes vital energy. It is also
known as the Lost City of the


Incas. Located 70 miles north
of Cusco, it is accessible by
rail, then bus, taking about
four hours.
In 1983 UNESCO declared
Machu Picchu aWorld
Cultural and Natural Heritage
site. The site is 7,872 feet
above sea level
Lake Titicaca, the world's
highest navigable lake, is at
an altitude of 12,500 feet. It is
a 10-hours train ride from
Cuzco. A visit to the lake
would be an archaeologist's
or environmentalist's dream
come true. It's also a great
experience for bird watchers.
Now if your love of travel is
linked to your stomach,
you'll be happy to hear Peru's
cuisine will delight the most
. demanding palate. It is
known to have the best
seasonings and spices in the


Americas and is also a part of
its folklore. When you
complete your gastronomi-
cal delight, savor a glass of
Pisco, a white grape brandy
distilled from fresh local
grapes, or try a Pisco sour,
the country's signature
cocktail.
We recommend an
escorted tour when visiting
Peru. With such a vast area
and much diversity, traveling
with the specialists will
transform your dream to
reality.

else signed it for him, and he

First name spellings have
never been very standardized
so most people spell their
name like they choose.
Surname spellings vary for
many reasons.
Quite often, illiteracy made
it necessary for someone else
to do the writing. That.
person may also have had
limited writing skills.
Regional accents and
mispronunciations also
caused spelling differences. A
"B" maybe heard as a"P" or a
"V" heard as a "W". As you've
probably noticed, Southern-
ers say things somewhat
differently than northerners,
which means that the spelling
would'be completely differ-
ent if spelled phonetically.
In fact, when spoken, a
word can be unrecognizable
to someone from a different
part of the country.
Vowels also can become
anyrthingAve viiter chooses.
An"i" can be an "e", e', y '
e',e, rw maybe ,1e W ,.
just make it an "a".
consonants also change or
become single or double, ""T'
or "l
The classic case is my
grandmother's name,
Gillispie, the name her father
changed. The only thing
constant in this name is the
G. The first "I" can also be an
"e";oran "a".
The l's can be single or
double, then another "i", "e",
or'"a"..The S.andP canbe, .
sin.e ord0oubleandthe
ending can be anything you
want. So I can end up with
Galespee, Gillaspey, Gelisspy,
etc.
Immigration caused more
drasticnamechanges.
Immigration officers often
wrote difficult foreign names
inamorefamiliar form, .
which sounded English.
Families themselves
changed their inames slightly
or entirely, to blend inmore
with the societyinto which
theqywerelmring. They
shortened them, added or
dropped consonants, to
make them easier to spell and
pronounce. Some changed


their name to disguise their
nationality.
When reading the census,
you will find the census taker
will spell a given name the
same way, all the way through
his district. That is the way he
hears it and feels it should be
spelled.
On the next census of the
same district, another census
taker may spell the same
name differently. No one
cared, as long as it was
pronounced correctly, and
everyone knew who was
being discussed.
Learn to go with your
instinct when you see a novel
spelling for your ancestor.
However, remember, you still
must dot all the "i's" and cross
all the "t's" to prove that it
truly is your ancestor, and not
just someone with the same
name.

most iconic of fundraisers
during the holiday season,
taking prominent positions in
front of most major stores.
Before the holidays, Captain
Perez of the Martin County
Chapter of the SalvationArmy
said it was important to
remember that the organiza-
tion's fundraising efforts go on
throughout the year.
'Although The Salvation
Army's visibility is more
heightened during the holi-
days, we want everyone to
know our programs are ongo-
ing," he said. "We all need to
come together to offer sup-
port to those needy families
and individuals in any way we
can," he said.
The Salvation Army in Stu-
art provides food, toys and
support services to almost
4,000 individuals and families
during the holiday season," he
added. (772) 288-1471.

United Way
Volunteers and employees
of the United Way of Martin
County were also busy during
the holidays. On Nov. 10, the
organization's Martin Volun-
teers coordinated the Scout-
ing for Food Drive, in which
hundreds of cub scouts and
boy scouts fanned out
through Martin County to col-
lect some eight tons of non-
perishable food donations for
the 19th annual White Doves
Holiday Project. White Doves
also serves'as the county coor-
dinator for the Toys For Tots
collection. One local compa-


ny, the Saelzer / Atlas Finan-
cial Group at A.G. Edwards,
kicked off its own Toys for Tots
drive for White Doves on Nov.
26 at the Pelican Cafe in Stu-
art, with music provided by
Honesto Villasurda. The invit-
ed guests brought everything
from new bicycles to stuffed
animals, dolls and puzzles.
Carol Hodnett, the director of
Martin Volunteers for the
United Way, attended the
event.
"Gerry, Jeff and their group
have helped White Doves in
the past by adopting families
during the holidays, and now
they've added this great toy
drive," Ms. Hodnett said.
"White Doves assisted more
than 1,200 families, during the
2007 holidays. Its the one
project that truly brings the
entire community together."
The food items and toys
were distributed on Dec. 15 at
the Hope Rural School in
Indiantown and at the Martin
County Fairgrounds Dec. 19-
20.
The United Way is currently
in the midst of its annual
fundraising campaign that
kicked off on Dec. 28. This
year the goal is $2.3 million,
and the campaign will culmi-
nate with the Champions of

Be careful when training vine plants


Every week, I get tons
of e-mails giving me
topics to include in
my. column.
One that I have received
several e-mails on is the
care of plants that are
used as vines.
Tirst let me emphasize
that if you train your
plants to grow directly on
your house or fence, the
plant will damage your
wood.
Since wood is a porous
material, the small roots of
the plants dig into the
pores. This allows mois-
ture to enter the tiny
holes. in addition, the
plant itself produces
moisture and consequent-
ly the wood never has a
chance to dry out. The end
result will be wood rot and
fungus.
Over time, this will badly
damage wood siding or
fencing.
If you use pressure
treated wood, the process
will take a lot longer than
on un-treated wood.
The best way to present
your trailing plants is to
build or buy a ready-made
trellis or other suitable
structure for the plant to
climb on. If you choose to
do it yourself, a simple
trellis can be made from
wood strips attached
together with braids or
small screws. You can then
either paint your project
or even use a conventional
red wood stain for a real
classy look.
Once you've built a
structure and know where
you want to put the plants,
you need to decide what
plants to use. There are
many varieties to choose
from,'but I am going to
mention some of my
favorites first.


JOE ZELENAK
Garden Nook

Mandevilla

Mandevilla vines are a
great, colorful choice for a
garden and they make a great
backdrop ifyou are using
them to grow up a fence or
arbor.
Mandevilla plants grow
best if they have partial
sunshine or filtered sun
through the branches of a
tree. They thrive best in a rich,
well-drained soil with organic
substances, such as manure,
added to the mixture.
You can increase the
bushiness of the plant by
pinching back some of the
new growth as the plant
begins to climb.
One of the biggest prob-
lems you may encounter with
a Mandevilla is aphids.
Aphids are microscopic
insects that tend to cluster
around the flowers and also
on the new growth.
They do their damage
when they suck the juices out
of the plant and the plant
starts to starve for nutrients.
These pests can be con-
trolled by using a systemic
insecticide, such as Orthene
or Orthenex.
Mandevilla do not tolerate
severe cold and need to be
protected or covered if


temperatures fall below 45
degrees.

Passion flowers

Passion flowers are
another colorful choice for
use on a trellis.
These plants are fairly
easy to grow and will do
well in partial or full sun.
They will do best in well-
drained soil, but they
should not be allowed to get
too dry, as the leaves will
begin to turn brown at the
tips. The plant produces a
small oval berry that can be
eaten, but is extremely
seedy. The fruit is often used
to make jelly. The plant is
also an excellent butterfly
attractant.
Passion flowers can also
be successfully grown in
containers.
Container plants should
not be put in direct sun, but
rather, have a filtered light
source.

Morning Glories

Another plant that I have
personally experimented
with are Morning Glories.
Although these plants will
probably not be readily
available, you can easily plant
them from seed.
Since these plants do not
like to be transplanted, you
should sow the seeds where
you are going to permanently
keep the plants.
Prior to planting, you
should soak the seeds
overnight in room- tempera-
ture water in order to soften
the hulls and get a better rate
of germination. You can plant
the seeds in partial to full sun,
but they should be in well-
drained soil in order to
induce' good flower produc-
tion.


It should be noted that
Passionflower is an annual
and that although the original
plants will get "tired," new
plants will be generated from
the seeds of the old flowers as
time goes on.
One feature of these plants
is that they grow very fast and
although mine did not flower
profusely, the flowers I did get
were well worth the wait.

Charitable
From page A 16
Yardley Chrysler Dodge in
Hobe Sound. The car is being
offered as the prize in the
"Enfiter the United Way Step
Up Challenge" sweepstakes.
The local chapter of the
United Way is also honoring
and challenging its top donors
in the county this year. The
communications director for
the chapter, Diane Tomasik,
said that lead volunteers
Denny and Wendy Hudson
are finding creative and gen-
erous ways to help donors
step up their giving.
The couple co-chair of the
local Alexis de Tocqueville
Society, which recognizes the
exceptional philanthropy of
the most generous United
Way donors. Last year they
established the Chairman's
Challenge, in which they
agreed to match any increase
in giving byTocqueville mem-
bers, a challenge they are con-
tinuing this year as well. The
2007 match amounted to
$22,875
Mr. Hudson, the chairman
and CEO of Seacoast National


Bank, says he sees UnitedWay
as being accountable and
responsive to current, local
needs. Seacoast and its
employees are strong sup-
porters of the United Way
campaign, and the bank leads
by example in challenging
others, he added.
"This year, in observation of
United Way's 35th anniversary
in Martin County, Seacoast
has created a $45,000 Leader-
ship Challenge Fund to
encourage people to step up
to new levels of giving in the
Keel Club (for donors of
$1,000 or more) and the Toc-
queville Society (for donors of
$10,000 or more)," he said. "If
a donor pledges to step to a
higher level of support over
the next three years, the Sea-
coast Leadership Challenge
Fund will match the differ-
ence between this year's con-
tribution and the new level of
recognition."

Surfrider Foundation
More than 100 supporters


of the Treasure Coast Chapter
of the Surfrider Foundation
crowded into Osceola Street
Cafe in Stuart Dec. 17 to con-
tribute to the organization's
second annual toy drive to
benefit the Hibiscus Chil-
dren's Center. According to
Chris Shultz, Vice Chairman
for the chapter, hundreds of
toys and more than $2,000 in
cash was raised during the
event.

Some of the area's top coun-
try club chefs changed their
venues on Dec. 10 to donate
their time and skills to the
Samaritan Center for Young
Boys and Families in Stuart.
These included Executive
Chef John Saundry, Dessert
Chef Jiilian Car and Chef
Mitch Pagan, all of the
Mariner Sands Country Club;

Man brings cheer
One of Martin County's
main philanthropists, John
Pierson, the owner of Toyota
of Stuart, sponsored several
holiday events during the
2007 season. These included
the Merry Christmas Martin
County fundraiser at the
Crossroads in the Port Salerno
area on Dec. 8 and the Port
Salerno Christmas Jamboree
on Dec. 22 Both are fundrais-
ers for the Boys and Girls
Clubs of Martin County.
Mr. Pierson said that
approximately $20,000 was
raised during the events, and
more than 200 local children
received new bicycles or
skateboards at the Christmas
Jamboree. Hobe Sound phi-
lanthropist Harry McCarthy
also donated toys to the event,
during which a 2008 Toyota
Solara was raffled off, courtesy
of Toyota of Stuart. Mr. Pier-
son provided the Santa float
for the Soroptimist Interna-
tional of Stuart's Christmas
Parade on Dec.7, and he also
sponsored the Stuart Sailfish
Tournament on Dec. 10 to
benefit the Stuart Sailfish Club
in Port Salerno. He attributes
his charitable works to his
appreciation for Martin
County.
"I love giving back to the
community that has given me
so much joy and happiness,
and I have so much to give
back because of them," he
said.
Upcoming events that he
sponsors or co-sponsors:
*The Cattlebaron's Ball for
the American Cancer Society
on Jan. 19.
*The American Heart Asso-
ciation Heart Ball on Feb. 17.

Inmates not forgotten
Thanks to the concern of
two Stuart attorneys, the men
and women incarcerated dur-
ing the holidays found out
that some people still care.
Attorneys Richard Kibbey
and Josh Deckard visited the
Martin County Jail on Dec. 24
to deliver gift baskets to 650
inmates. Mr. Kibbey said peo-
ple should remember that
those in jail haven't necessari-
ly been convicted.
"It's important to remem-
ber that many of the people in
jail haven't been convicted of
anything," he said. "Many
simply can't afford bail, or
their families don't have the
means to help them out."
This is not the fist time that


the pair has delivered good
cheer to those behind bars.
"Our past experience deliv-
ering Christmas gift bags to
those imprisoned at the Mar-
tin County Jail resulted in
many expressions of heartfelt
appreciation," Mr. Deckard
said. "It is good to share the
true meaning of Christmas
with those who are separated
from their families during this
holiday season."
The gift baskets they hand-
ed out contained chocolates,
other candies and an inspir-
ing Christmas message.

Operation Christmas
Smile
Dozens of local needy
residents received compli-
mentary dental services on
Dec. 1, thanks to the gen-
erosity of two dozen local
dentists participating in
one free day of dental serv-
ices.
The participating practi-
tioners included several
from the Jensen Beach
Dental Center; dental stu-
dents from the Indian
River Community College
Dental Clinic in Fort
Pierce; dentists from Mid-
way Dental in White City;
and others from Dr Cook's
and Doctor Fox's dental
office Port St. Lucie.

Spreading hope
More than 250 people
attended the Fall Fest at
Stracuzzi Plaza on Oct. 27 to
celebrate the beginning of
the holiday season and help
raise more than $1,350 for
the Jesus House of Hope in
Martin County.
Attendees donated more
than 340 pounds of non-
perishable items and
enjoyed games, refresh-
ments and crafts provided
by the Patrick Stracuzzi Real
Estate Team, Group One
Mortgage, Carson's Tavern
and Waterways Gallery.
All of the proceeds went to
help fund the Jesus House of
Hope, a program designed
to feed the poor and hungry
of Martin County. Mr.
Stracuzzi said he was
pleased to sponsor a family-
friendly event.
"It is so important for our
kids to have a safe place
where they can enjoy the
season," Mr. Stracuzzi said.
"We are also very excited to
give the money raised to
Jesus House of Hope."

Classical pianists
present master class
T he three female
members of The Five
Browns, who will
perform at the Lyric Theatre
as part of the Treasure
Coast Concert Association's
Ovation Series, came to the
Pine School in Stuart on
Jan. 8 for a Master Class.
Deondra, Desirae and
Melody, all in their twen-
ties, performed for the
entire lower school while
brothers Greg and Ryan
went to the Upper School in
Hobe Sound.
To accommodate so many
pianists, the school used its
own pianos and several on
loan from Kretzer Piano
Studio in West Palm Beach.
Dr. James Cantwell,
headmaster of the Pine
School, welcomed the
Browns and gave a nod to
the wonderful Ernie Berlin
of the Treasure Coast
Concert Association, who
has known the Browns for
many years and who is
responsible for bringing
them both to the Treasure
Coast and to the Pine
School several times.
The young women
introduced pieces by
Rachmaninoff, Gershwin,
Scriabin and Debussy, with
comments that had the kids
giggling or looking thought-
ful.
When Desirae introduced
Gershwin's "Embraceable
You," she spoke of how each
of them should dedicate to
a boyfriend or girlfriend.
That brought the giggles.
When Melody talked
about Scriabin's "Into the
Flame," and described how
the composer saw colors
with musical noted, you
could see the concentration
on the faces of many
students. For Debussy's
"Clair de Lune," the three
pianists sat at one piano, in
an arrangement especially
for them. You had the
feeling some kids might be
trying that at home.
After the recital, the
Browns answered questions
from eight pre-selected
students, who wanted to
know how old they were
when they started playing;
(three), whether they had

Doc Grober and the Mudcats:


Music is the best medicine


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Ronald Grober inhabits
two worlds.
As an orthopedic surgeon
with an office in Fort Pierce,
the Florida team physician
for the NewYork and St.
Lucie Mets has mended a
lot of broken bones on the
Treasure Coast.
As Doc Grober, he's the
pianist and driving force
behind the Mudcats, a jazz
band that will entertain
audiences at both the Lyric
and Sunrise Theatres on the
weekend of Jan. 26-27. The
New Jersey native enjoys
both.
"For me, music is good for
the soul," he said. "Jazz is
not the only kind of music I
like; I like folk, Mozart, blue
grass. If it's honest, I like it.
People associate me with
jazz. I like the technical part;
it's a never-ending learning
process, like surgery. You
can take the journey as far
as you want. It gives you a
goal. None of us will get
there, but I love taking the
journey."
Dr. Grober put himself
through the University of
Pennsylvania playing the
piano, but med school and
the arduous process of
becoming a surgeon took
him completely away from
music for many years.


He retuned to it quite
accidentally, when the
PelicanYacht Club was
looking for a jazz band, and
Doc Grober said he could
put one together. He
thought it was a one-time
event, and when they asked
him for the band's name, he
didn't have one.
"The club manager came
up with the name Mudcats,"
he said. "It's a catfish
indigenous to the Mississip-
pi Delta. Anyway, people
liked us, and I got calls. I
turned down most of them
because the practice was so
busy. We started at the Lyric.
We'd get appreciative
audiences, and nowwe just
do it each year. The Sunrise
is a first, and I'm really
excited about that."
While he hasn't decided
how much of the shows will
be the same, he says that
certain things are hallmarks
of the show.
"We play older style jazz,"
he said. "Our goal is to
entertain, but I also get up
and make brief comments
to point the way, about jazz
in general and about the
musician. I try to inject
humor in it. It's not a*
lecture. We feature great
musicians: Bob Leary, the
guitar player, is a riot. He
does novelty songs and is an
attraction himself. Allan
Vache, the clarinet player, is

There is much change happening around you.
Your job is to stay cool when the storms of life
hit and refuse to allow effects not of your
making toss you around. Stay focused. Your
judgment is sound. Use it when making deci-
sions. Ask, "Will this make me happy?" When
you hear a big, "yes," it's time to take action.
Now success is guaranteed.

Act decisively on your immediate goals and

Jones on the trumpet, Pat
Gullotta on the trombone,
Rabbit Simmons on bass

They're top drawer."
The doctor continues to
be amazed at the band's
popularity.
"If anyone had told me
we'd have a following, I
wouldn't have believed it,"
he said. "I'm still surprised
even though we've been
doing it for years. I discover
things and try hard. You
never know until you try. In
medicine, too, you need to
keep up and learn from

to forge tighter bonds and greater under-
standing with family, associates and friends.
Now watch your results soar.
Gemini-May 21-June 21
Stay strong in your own beliefs but continue

Your courage in the face of adversity is one of
your strongest qualities and greatly admired

Your strong belief in doing things right is a

Try making some elegant desserts for special occasions


although you know
it's important to
develop good eating
habits, you also know the
year will have many
special occasions calling
for special desserts.
I gave you today's recipe
awhile ago, and I recom-
mended using packaged
chocolate mousse mix
since the original recipe
was made with six raw egg
yolks, a no-no today.
I have since found a
recipe for chocolate
mousse that will take you
to chocolate heaven.
Remember this is a special
occasion dessert and in no
way low-fat.
Also, cream puffs are an
easy and elegant dessert
and since cream-puff
chocolate mountain is
made with a cream-puff
paste you must have that
recipe also.
See you next week.

CREAM PUFFS
OR I CLAIRS

The most elegant of
desserts, cream puffs are
easy to make. There is no
way to make them low fat,
but the filling choice can
make a difference.

1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup boiling water
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs

Boil water in a medium
saucepan. Add butter; stir to
melt. Add flour, salt and
sugar all at once. Cook,
stirring vigorously, until
mixture is smooth and
forms a soft ball that does
not separate.
Remove from heat. Cool
for 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally; if the mixture
is too hot it will cook the
eggs. Add eggs one at a time,
beating well after each
addition until mixture is
smooth.
For cream puffs: Drop
spoonfuls of batter onto
greased cookie sheet. For
6clairs: Use a pastry bag to


create long shapes.
Bake in a very hot oven
(425-450 degrees) for 15
minutes. Lower oven
temperature to 325-
degrees and continue
baking for 25 minutes
longer. Makes about 12
cream puffs or 18 6clairs.
Fill with pudding,
whipped topping or
whipped cream. Top with
chocolate glaze if you
choose.
Note: Double the recipe
for chocolate glaze.

CHOCOLATE
GLAZE

1/2 tablespoon butter
3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa
powder
1/2 cup sifted
confectioner's sugar
Dash of salt
2-1/2 tablespoons hot
milk

Melt butter. Sift dry
ingredients together and,
using an electric mixer,
mix with butter and milk.
At first, mixture will be
stiff.
Do not add any more
milk until blended thor-
oughly.
Add more milk only if
mixture is too stiff. A glaze
must be a little thinner
than a frosting but not so
thin that it lands on the
plate.


ZARLENE BORG
Romancing the Stove
with the Grammy Guru


WHIPPED CREAM
Whipped cream is
extremely tricky to whip it
just right before it turns to
butter.

1 pint (2 cups) heavy
whipping cream
2 tablespoons or more
confectioner's sugar

Use a high narrow bowl.
Chill bowl and beaters if
possible.
Using an electric mixer,
beat cream at high speed
until frothy. Add sugar and
continue beating, watching
the cream very carefully. It
will start to thicken. Contin-
ue beating, scraping bowl
occasionally. The cream is
whipped when it starts to
have a slight "break-up"
look. (Over-beating by just a
few seconds will suddenly
turn the cream to butter. It


will become a mass with
water around it).

VELVETY
CHOCOLATE
MOUSSE
(NIB)
No substitutions
Serves eight

1 envelope unflavored
gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 level
teaspoon cocoa
2 cups (1 pint) cold
whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla

Sprinkle gelatin over cold
water in small bowl; let
stand 2 minutes to soften.
Add boiling water; stir until
gelatin is completely
dissolved and mixture is
clear. Let cool slightly.
Mix sugar and cocoa in
large bowl; add cream and
vanilla. Beat on medium
speed, scraping bottom of
the bowl occasionally until
mixture is stiff. Pour in
gelatin mixture; beat until
well blended. Spoon into
bowl or dessert dishes;
cover. Refrigerate at least 30
minutes.
Note: I have not tried
substituting 1/2 or all
Splenda for the sugar. If you
successfully accomplish
this, please let me know.


CREAM PUFF
CHOCOLATE
MOUNTAIN
(NIB)

1 recipe cream-puff
paste
1 recipe chocolate
mousse
Chocolate glaze
Sliced almonds
(optional)
Whipped cream

Butter a 9-inch circle on a
cookie sheet. Drop paste by
1/4-measuring cupfuls, just
inside circumference of
circle so that it forms a ring.
Bake as in cream-puff
recipe. Cool on rack.
A few hours before
serving, carefully slice ring
in half using a long, sharp,
thin-bladed knife and gently
lift off top. Fill with prepared
mousse mix, replace top
and drizzle with chocolate
glaze and sprinkle with
almonds. Chill several
hours.
When ready to serve, fill
center hole with sweetened
whipped cream. Now bow
to the applause. You've.
earned it!

You have strong guidelines
in life. Expect positive
results.

Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
At the last minute when all
seems lost, things just
seem to work out for you.
The past few months have
tested your faith. If you just
persevere a little more you
will be rewarded for your
patience and time. Your
understanding and .use of
spiritual and universal laws
is serving you well. You are
a blessing and light to oth-
ers. They grow from your
example.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
As Venus continues in
Sagittarius, your emotional
edge continues to boost
you in your pursuits. It
gives you a broader view of
possibilities and a wider
course of action. This edge
along with your natural
strong instincts will result
in favorable outcomes.
Your strong decisive nature
leaves little to chance and


is the primary reason you
excel.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan 19
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 insure
that more will always be
on the way. When you see
the good in others and
affirm it, they see it in you
as well. This is the true
meaning of life and one of
your most priceless pos-
sessions. Believe this in
your heart and so it will be.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb.18
The moon, Mercury and
Neptune in Aquarius gives
you a super new year's
boost in energy. This caus-
es life to go so well that
occasional challenges are
met with ease. Why?
Because you plan ahead
but live a day at a time.
This is strong medicine. It
gives hope to those
around you and says that if
you can do it, we can do it.


You are a great leader.
Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Your love of life, nature
and the universe is evident
in the increased happiness
of recent months. You are
at your best when you set
lofty goals and work
steadily to bring them into
reality. You are never con-
tent with mediocrity. You
were born to excel. Your
cup will soon be overflow-
ing with new opportunities
and adventures. Are you
ready to take action?

iPods; (yes), and if they ever
didn't want to practice when
they were kids (yes, but they
did it so they could go out to
play afterward).
Then eight students broke
down into smaller groups,
each performing for a sister.
Harrison Tancer, 12, of Palm
Beach Gardens, and Jack
Stubblefield, 11, of Palm
City, sat down with Desirae,
who listened to each play
and then made suggestions.
You could see the boys
relax as she spoke about
following the words and
playing more intensely as
the mood intensified, about
losing yourself in the music
and creating a mood with
the pedal. She sat down
beside them and explained
a bit about the hand works
and how to reach some
notes more comfortably It
was completely relaxed and
open.
For Melody Brown, the
Master Classes are a won-
derful experience for them
as well as for the students.
"It's much more interac-
tive," she said. "The kids
have so many great ques-
tions, and they're really
excited. So many have
started talking lessons since
we've been coming and it's
quite an honor to be
affecting young lives."

Area girls' hoops teams set


sights on bid for state title


BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer
While voters in New
Hampshire were showing
that the presidential selec-
tion process is far from
over, two area girls' basket-
ball teams proved that
who's leading in the polls
doesn't always come out
on top.
Last season, with the
Treasure Lake Conference
championship on the line,
Jensen Beach smoked Fort
Pierce Central 68-37 on its
way to a state champi-
onship.
On Jan. 8, the Cobras


traveled to Jensen Beach
trying to improve on its
stellar 15-3 record. The
Falcons came in with an
equally impressive mark at
13-3, but had lost its last
game to West Boca Raton
40-37 in overtime in the
championship of the Bill
Munsey Holiday Classic.
In a back-and-forth
affair, Central took a six-
point lead with a minute
remaining in the game,
only to see Jensen Beach
storm back to nearly tie
the score.
With two seconds left in
regulation and the Falcons
down by two, Taylor


Brownloe had a chance to
send the game into over-
time with a pair of free
throws, but missed one
and the Cobras came away
with a 41-40 road win.
"They did a number on
us last year," Fort Pierce
Central head coach Katie
Clive said. "It' s never easy
going to play Jensen
Beach.
"They made some
adjustments defensively.
We got into foul trouble.
We played out of our ele-
ment.
"It came down to the

Fort Pierce Central's Yawni mincey (No. 10) tries to defend
against Jensen Beach Falcon's Brett Benzio Tuesday, Jan.
8, in Jensen Beach. Benzio scored 22 points but it was not
enough in the 41-40 loss.

final seconds.
"It feels really good. We
have a young team. Some-
thing like this helps solidi-
fy where we're going."
Terrice Robinson led the
Cobras with 13 points.
"She started last year as
a freshman," Clive said.
"She had some great
games. I put a lot on her
shoulders and she exceed-
ed my expectations.
"I've put a lot on her this
year. I will go as far as say-
ing she's the best point
guard in the area."
On the same night, Vero
Beach took on county rival
Sebastian River. Like the
case was with Central and
Jensen Beach, the Sharks
handled the Indians quite
easily a year ago, winning
67-30.
The game was indicative
of how the two teams' sea-
sons went as Vero Beach
struggled to an 11-16 mark
while Sebastian finished at
26-3, making it to the sec-
ond round of the regional
playoffs.
The 2007-08 version of
Vero Beach has been
wholeheartedly different
than the previous models.
Coach Rahshard. Morgan
had several of his players
suit up over the summer
with the Indian River War-
riors USSSA team, and so
far the extra sessions on
the court has proved to be
a difference maker.
"Some played 30 games
over the summer," Morgan
said. "It showed that if you


can put good time inr, you
can get great things out.
"Our off season play was
tremendous. I think it's
been the defining factor."
In this season's :contest,
Vero Beach was the benefi-
ciary of two outstanding
performances by Carrie
Orcutt and Tia Brown to,
help the Indians run to a
55-45 win over the Sharks.
Orcutt had 25 points to
go along with five
rebounds and five steals
while Brown recorded a
double-double of 10
points and 10 rebounds to
lead the way.
"It was a good win,"
Morgan said. "It was a long
time coming.
"It's nice for our seniors
to go out with a win over
Sebastian.
"I've been dedicated to
try to change the program
at Vero. I think it's finally
catching on."
The-Indians followed up
its impressive win with
another victory, this time
over St. Lucie West Cen-
tennial. Orcutt again
paced Vero Beach with 22
points and five steals,
while Ursula Brown
chipped in 10 points to
move the Indians to 15-7
on the season.
"After such an emotional
win, I wondered if the
team would come out
drained," Morgan said.
"We started off slow, but
responded in the end."
While Jensen Beach and
Sebastian River came up
short in their attempts at a
win, both teams still have
playoff aspirations. The
Falcons were the Class 4A
state champions a year ago
and started out this season
11-0.
However, the team has
tapered off recently, going
2-4 in its last six games.
The team has struggled at
the free throw line all sea-
son, and it was exempli-,
fied in its loss against Cen-
tral.
The Falcons went 7-of-
18, costing the team the
win and ruining a stellar
performance by Brett Ben-
zio who led the way with
22 points and 12 rebounds.
"It was a hard loss," Ben-
zio said. "We exchanged
leads. It was a game of
runs.
"We almost came back
in the end to send it into
overtime, but we didn't."
Benzio said there are
several reasons for the Fal-
cons' woes including
the time needed to adjust
to the coaching style of Joe
Sanchez.
"The whole team

dynamic changed," Benzio
said. "It's hard to lose play-
ers and add a new coach
on top of that.
"We play a different type
of game. We got very used
to (former) coach I(uliuc-
ci)'s style. We don't know
the coach as well. It takes
time.
"Last year, we could run
a fast paced game or a slow
paced game. We could
control the tempo.
"This year, we don't have
the multiple threats we did
last year."
Despite the setbacks,
Benzio is hoping her sen-
ior season will have the
same conclusion it did a
year ago.
"It was a great moment,"
Benzio said. "It was great
to go out on a win, but it
stinks to see the end of the
season.
"It was the greatest feel-
ing you can ever have as an
athlete."
While the Sharks have
yet to experience the thrill
of being the last one stand-
ing, the team has come
close. In 2005-06, Sebast-
ian started off slow at 3-2,
but then proceeded to win
its next 20 games.
Included in that streak
was the Sharks' run
through the district tour-
nament, which was
capped by Sebastian's 47-
34 win over Bayside to cap-
ture its first-ever title. The
team dispatched Boynton
Beach in the Region 4-5A
quarterfinal before losing
to Naples-Barron Collier in
the semifinal.
Last .season, the Sharks
didn't skip a beat, march-
ing to a 26-3 season,
including its second-con-
secutive district crown.
The team followed a simi-
lar path in the postseason,
defeating Boynton Beach
before succumbing once
again to Barron Collier.
Heading into 2007-08,
head coach Terri Amy was
given the unenviable task
of replacing all-time lead-
ing scorer Katie Carr.
"Katie was a real vocal
leader as was Britney John-
son and Melissa Martinel-
li," Amy said. "Before if the
girls needed someone to
talk to outside of the
coaches, they could go to
these girls.
"Now, we're looking to,
girls who haven't done it


before."
Overall, Amy' new
regime has responded
well, as its 14-5 record
would attest. In the loss to
Vero, Brittney Williams led
the way with 19 points,
and Jade Cargill added 12


points, six rebounds and
four steals.
"It's different," Amy said.
"We lost four girls that
were on varsity since they
were freshmen.
"But I knew we had girls
that were on varsity for the
