SHOW WEIRD
IS THAT?!
SSEAN MCCARTHY



pend any time surfing
the Web and you are
bound to find stories
that are just too bizarre to be
true. Here's a sampling,
edited for length. And
remember, just because it's
online doesn't mean it's true!
From newsherald.com:
Man lies about robbery over
fear of wife
A Panama City Beach man
reportedly admitted to
deputies that he lied about
being robbed so he wouldn't
have to tell his wife he spent
the money.
The Bay County Sheriff's
Office reported a 30-year-
old man was arrested and
charged with making a false
report. According to a
report, the man called 911
from a Panama City Beach
store and claimed he was
getting into his car when a
man dressed in black hit
him and took $100 in cash.
But the store's surveillance
video showed the man walk
out of the store, sit in his car
for a short time and then go
back inside to use the
phone.
After deputies showed the
man the video, he acknowl-
edged he hadn't actually
been robbed. He was
released from jail on $750
bail.
From lancasteronline.com:
Police arrest man in buggy
for DUI
Police in central Pennsyl-
vania arrested an Amish
man on drunk driving
charges after he was found
asleep in his moving buggy.
Police said a 22-year-old
man was slumped over and
asleep in a slow-moving
buggy. An off-duty officer
reported seeing the horse
pulling the buggy at a
walking pace as it straddled
the center line.
Police said a breathalyzer
test showed the man's

MARTIN COUNTY -
For the first time since it
opened in August 2008,
the Children's Museum
of the Treasure Coast is
opening a new exhibit.
The display, titled "The
Car Care Center," is the
latest addition to the
organization's "Our
Town" section or model


community.
The Car Care Center is
a working automotive
garage, which allows
children to learn about
vehicle care, alternative
fuels, solar-powered
autos and the operation
of a mechanic's shop.
Attendees will be able
to fill out a work order
and "repair" a vehicle

MARTIN COUNTY At
high noon, in a small town
in the south of France,
American soldiers guard
precious fuel. It's the
1940s, and the troops are
entrenched in the second
World War. A fighter plane
engine roars overhead,
and without notice, Ger-
man forces attack in an
attempt to capture the fuel
dumps. The Americans,
outnumbered, call for
backup.
That's the scenario that
will play out when the

first anniversary in Memo-

The Stuart organization
plans a two-day event, on
Jan. 23 and 24, that is set to
include a display of vehi-
cles, military swap meet,
encampments and
weapons demonstrations.
"It's pretty exciting, all
the things they've been

"I'm excited to see what

The celebration has
attracted about 60 area

"It's like a live play, for

MARTIN COUNTY For the
second consecutive year, organiz-
ers of the annual fireworks display
in Indian RiverSide Park have can-
celled the New Year's Eve event in
Jensen Beach.
Insufficient donations from pri-
vate contributors who fund the
event meant that organizers had to
forego this year's display, park offi-
cials said.
"It would have been nice to have


the fireworks, but these are tough
times," said Rich Greene, a Jensen
Beach resident, who has watched
the display in previous years.
"Hopefully, the economy will turn
around soon, and we can go back
to having some of the recreational
things we enjoyed."
The Martin County Parks and
Recreation Department does not
finance the annual event, but
staffers said organizers were
unable to afford the $30,000 price
tag.
"We're just the host organiza-


tion, but we wanted to let people
know," said Angela Gomez, the
Park Department's community
relations director.
Organizers declined comment,
but park officials say sponsors
hope to be able to finance the pub-
lic celebration in 2010.
"They would like to bring it back
in the future," Ms. Gomez said. "It's
not something that's going to be
completely forgotten."

Side Park events, call (772) 692-

unsolved


crimes
By Jay Meisel

Editor's note: In this first
of a series, Treasure Coast
law enforcement officials
are seeking the public's help
in solving unsolved crimes.
This week features a cold
case from the Vero Beach
area. If you have any infor-
mation regarding this case,
please contact Crime Stop-
pers at (800) 273-8477.

VERO
BEACH -
Sometime
in early July
2006, 86- '
year-old he r e
Helen 44
Regene
McPherson
noticed the
screen was
off the win- Helen
dow of her McPherson
Florida
room.
She reported to family
members "she had thought
she heard a noise one
night," recalled Wanda
McPherson, her daughter-
in-law.
But no one found any-
thing else ajar at the time,
Wanda McPherson said in a
recent interview.
"We really didn't think
anything more about it,"
she said.
It was only after someone
brutally murdered Helen
McPherson about 10 days
later that the incident
regarding the screen was
mentioned to detectives at
the Indian River County
Sheriff's Office.
Detectives, who have yet
to make an arrest in con-
nection with the murder of
Helen McPherson, say they
don't know whether the
prior incident was connect-
ed.
Mrs. McPherson's murder
is one of dozens of unsolved
homicide cases on the Web
site of Treasure Coast Crime
Stoppers.
Ken Wilson, executive
director of Treasure Coast
Crime Stoppers, hopes that
renewed publicity regard-
ing these cases may lead to
arrests.
It also shows law enforce-
ment hasn't forgotten those
cases, he said.
In the case of Helen
McPherson, family mem-
bers found her body on July
15, 2006. Authorities believe

Established in 1981,
Nonna Maria Restaurant
offers affordable,
upscale dining at its
North Palm Beach loca-
tion. In 2003, Nonna
Maria was acquired by
proprietors Judy and
Francois who added a
"French Twist" to their
menu.


Francois runs a kitchen
that blends regional
European and American
dishes using high quality,
fresh, local ingredients.
Francois creates a variety
of delicious specials to
enhance your dining
experience. Judy, your
hostess, provides person-
alized service in their
intimate dining room set-

With an award-winning
menu, great prices, awe-

for a real treat at Nonna

Look at what True
Treasures owner, Elena
Johnson, has to say about
her experience at Nonna
Maria Restaurant:


Otrue treasury
BOUTIQUE


"Nonna Maria is a family Italian Restaurant with a
French twist. The food is outstanding, the service excel-
lent and the atmosphere very pleasant. My compliments
to Chef Francois.

I grew up in Italy expecting to have a home-cooked
meal at least twice a day. You were expected to cook or
you would have someone else cook for you. Only on
very special occasions would you dine out. Now I work
six days-a-week and cooking for the two of us nowadays
is a chore- and not an inexpensive proposition either.

Finding the right food to prepare as you would like for
that special occasion is not an easy task. With the
Holiday Season, it is important to simplify your life. For
Thanksgiving, having company, we found an easy
answer to help us enjoy every minute of their stay.

I called Nonna Maria, where we often have dinner and
took advantage of their service. I ordered dinner at
10:00am and picked it up at 6:30pm. The wonderful din-
ner, service with candle light, great wine and our dear
company was super treat for all. The Italian food with a
French twist, for which Nonna Maria is known, made
our Thanksgiving dinner a wonderful experience."

hoisted on a lift as part of
the educational display.
The new exhibition
opened Dec. 17, with a
grand opening for mem-
bers.
"This continues our pro-
gram of hands-on learning,
which is what our museum
is all about," said Tammy
Calabria, the museum's
executive director. "It's a
whole role-playing experi-
ence for the kids."
The idea is to teach chil-
dren that car ownership is a
major investment and intro-
duce them to the concept of
vehicle maintenance.
Visitors will be able to
choose to "work" on a taxi or
fire truck, and follow step-
by-step instructions to serv-
ice its engine, rotate tires,


change the muffler and per-
form several other tasks.
The new exhibit costs
$40,000. Itwas a gift of Lewis
and Robin Gerstner, visitors
who wanted to make a con-
tribution to the museum
that seeks to entertain and
educate children on the
Treasure Coast.
In its first year, the organi-
zation attracted about
35,000 visitors to its site at
the Indian RiverSide Park in
Jensen Beach.
The Children's Museum of
the Treasure Coast is located
at 1707 N.E. Indian River
Drive, Jensen Beach.
Admission ranges from $6
for adults and children 2
years and older, to $3 for
infants. Children younger
than 12 months enter for
free.

Police in central Pennsyl-

the snow to catch a man
who allegedly tried to
burglarize a convenience
store by throwing a brick
through a window.
Altoona Police said they
followed the tracks to a
home, where 28-year-old
Joshua Phillips of Tennessee

staying with relatives.
Officers said Phillips
claimed to be home asleep
all night, even though his

with usual depictions of a
fat, jolly St. Nick.
Then parents started
calling Big Spring city

was naked. McBee relented

as well, putting a pair of

shorts, with a Christmas

Most people are able to eliminate some of their
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms
with medication. But for some people, even with
treatment, painful heartburn (a burning discomfort
or pain behind your breastbone) is an ongoing
problem. Now, local doctors are conducting a
medical research study of an investigational
medication to evaluate its ability to reduce GERD
symptoms in people who only experience partial
_relief with their current medication.
Sbe -i ;:?, for this study, must:
Be 18-65 years of age,
Have been experiencing GERD symptoms for
at least three months,
Have been taking a Proton Pump Inhibitor
(PPI) medication for at least four weeks, but
only have partial relief of your symptoms,
Experience heartburn symptoms at least
three days a week, and
Be willing to remain on your PPI medication
during the study.
Qualified participants will receive all study-
related medical care, PPI medication, and
study medication at no cost. Reimbursement
for time and travel may also be provided.

Office, said someone had
beaten Mrs. McPherson to
death.
The case has been exam-
ined by Eddie Swan, a mem-
ber of the Treasure Coast
Crime Stoppers' board of
directors. He also was an assis-
tant U.S. attorney and held
what is now the position of a
U.S. magistrate.
He said that "the crime
scene photos of the murder
scene of Helen McPherson
were the worst," in terms of
violence and brutality, of
hundreds of such photos
he's seen.
A puzzling aspect of the
investigation is that no
clear motive has arisen, Lt.
Jones said.
Although he wouldn't say
whether something was
taken from the house, he
indicated authorities do not
believe theft was the motive
behind the crime. Nor was
there any evidence to sug-
gest that anyone sexually
assaulted Mrs. McPherson,
She said.
o During the years follow-
ing the murder, detectives
Shave searched for similar
crimes in other jurisdic-
Stions that may have been
committed by the same
Perpetrator.
They've also thoroughly
Canvassed the neighbor-
hood in which Mrs.
McPherson lived, one that
They say doesn't have a sig-
g nificant crime problem.
"We've talked to everyone
on that street numerous
times," said Anthony Sevito,
an Indian River County
detective assigned to cold
cases.
Wanda McPherson said
her mother-in-law never
had any problems in the
neighborhood and knew all
her neighbors.
Helen McPherson had


lived in the neighborhood on
49th Avenue since 1962.
She was born in Rector, Ark.,
and her family moved to Mel-
bourne. After high school, she
worked in the Brevard County
Courthouse in Titusville. She
married Thomas McPherson
Jr. on Oct. 1, 1939.
Not long after that, they
moved to Michigan where they
worked at an airplane assem-
bly plant. Mr. McPherson then
served in the military during
World War II
They had three sons and for
most of her adult life, she was
a homemaker, Wanda McPher-
son said.
Her husband died in 2001.
Helen McPherson was a
member of First Baptist
Church and was involved in
activities there, her daughter-
in-law said.
She collected Depression-
era glassware and was inter-
ested in current events.
"She loved to talk to people,"
Wanda McPherson said.
Family members say they
have no idea why someone
would have wanted to murder
Mrs. McPherson.
Detectives are continuing to
try to find out.
As part of that effort they are
"doing everything we can to
have evidence analyzed in
every way," Lt. Jones said.
At the time of the crime, he
said, the most obvious evi-
dence was analyzed.
Now that analysis is being
taken to the next level, with
more minute analysis being
conducted.
Anyone with information
about the crime can call Crime
Stoppers at (800) 273-8477).
Callers can be eligible for a
reward of $1,000 if their infor-
mation leads to an arrest.

TREASURE COAST -
Martin County Sheriff
Robert L. Crowder present-
ed a donation of $20,000
from the Martin County Law
Enforcement trust fund to
New Horizons for the chil-
dren's crisis stabilization
unit, which is currently
under construction, on
Midway Road in Fort Pierce.
The 20-bed facility will
house troubled youth,
between the ages of 6 and
17, who are experiencing


mental health or substance
abuse crises.
Construction is well
underway with completion
scheduled for September
2010.
Currently, the four-county
area served by New Hori-
zons has only three beds
available for needy children
in crisis and they are in Vero
Beach. This number is inad-
equate, as last year, 792 kids
from the Treasure Coast and
Okeechobee were admitted
to a crisis unit.
The crisis unit will make it
more convenient for law


enforcement professionals
on the Treasure Coast to get
children in need of these
services to a facility capable
of handling their care.
New Horizons of Okee-
chobee and the Treasure
Coast is a nonprofit organi-
zation that provides mental
health care and substance
abuse treatment for chil-
dren and adults living in
Indian River, Martin, Okee-
chobee and St. Lucie coun-
ties.

Give the gift of sight

To the editor:

As you are well-aware, the U.S. economy is experiencing a
major downturn.
Often, when faced with tough economic times, our senior
communities on fixed incomes are hurt the most when their
healthcare falls by the wayside. During our current financial
crisis, I want to make sure that their eye health is not
neglected.
This holiday season, I urge readers to call EyeCare Ameri-
ca's Seniors EyeCare Program at (800) 222-3937 to see if
someone they love may qualify for medical eye care at no
out-of-pocket cost. By calling EyeCare America's help line for
an eye exam, you maybe giving friends and family members
the best gift of all, the gift of sight.
The program is designed for seniors, age 65 and older, who
have not seen an ophthalmologist in more than three years.
Eligible patients will be matched with a nearby volunteer
ophthalmologist. Seniors receive a comprehensive medical
eye examination and up to one year of care for any disease
diagnosed during the initial visit at no out-of-pocket cost.
As one of 409 Eye America volunteer ophthalmologists
here in Florida, I experience first hand how providing a
simple, medical eye exam can preserve sight.
As program volunteers, we have agreed to waive Medicare
or other insurance co-payments and unmet deductibles,
resulting in no out-of-pocket cost to the patient.
Seniors without insurance receive care at no charge.
Here in Florida, 33,234 have been helped through EyeCare
America.
I urge all readers to take advantage of this valuable
program and give the gift of sight to a special senior in their
life this holiday season.

Squatter situation

The current foreclosure crisis has hit home with me in a
couple ways. But especially last weekend when I realized that
the foreclosed home behind me had a squatter. He was taking
his bike in and out of the screen porch. I called the police
department, and they came on a Sunday morning and appre-
hended the suspect. They acted in a very responsible manner.
They didn't arrest him, but gave him a trespassing notice.
Good job to the police department. He was there without
permission of the homeowners. It could have been a danger-
ous situation.

What happened to the energy promises?

After a national election last year, in which candidate
Obama put forth elaborate schemes for energy independ-
ence, his administration has failed totally to do anything to
increase domestic energy production.

Passing the buck

Democrats who have been lobbying for a government-run
health care system have been claiming that they will not raise
our taxes to pay for it. However, they have started to retreat
from these claims and now have started to admit reluctantly
that it is not possible to accomplish their goals without raising
taxes on individuals, small businesses and insurance compa-
nies.
The dirty little secret about tax increases on employers is
that in order to stay in business, they are often forced to pass
on their higher costs, which are then paid for by all of us con-
sumers, in the form of higher prices.

A push for mandatory sentences

So often we hear that "X has a rap sheet a mile long going
back many years," but instead of appropriately punishing
him and taking him off the streets so that he could do no fur-

Health news you can use


Those newsletters
have been piling up
again. I am busy
packing and I want to
share most interesting
news from them before
they go to the recycling
pile.

Foods may lower
risk of eye disease

From the Duke Universi-
ty Health Newsletter,
October 2009:
A recent study, pub-
lished in the May 2009
issue of "Ophthalmology"
suggests older folks who
eat citrus fruits, leafy
vegetables and fish oil may
lower the risk of develop-
ing age-related macular
degeneration. The nutri-
ents that are believed to
affect AMD are omega-3
fatty acids, vitamins C and
E, lutein and zeaxathin, an
antioxidant.
The nutrients are found
in fish, citrus, green
vegetables such as broccoli
and spinach, and egg
yolks. Low glycemic index
foods, such as lentils,
soybeans, yogurt and high-
fiber grains, also seemed
to be protective, as they
result in gradual increases
in blood sugar, instead of
the rapid increases caused
by food such as white


bread and potatoes.
The study only tested
food and not supplements,
and a varied diet contain-
ing these foods has other
health benefits, as well.

Flu does like the cold

From the Harvard Health
Letter, October2009:
It is not your imagina-
tion that there is more flu
in the winter. It may be
that people are in closer
contact indoors in the
winter, but the flu likes the
cold weather. Flu viruses
are more contagious and
more capable of causing
severe illness when the air
is cool and dry.
That's the reason why
the flu season starts in the
Northern Hemisphere in
October or November, and
ends in the spring. In
Florida, it tends to start
later because the weather
is warmer.
The reason the H1N1 flu
was relatively mild last
spring was because it came
as the weather was getting
warm. It remains to be


seen what this winter will
bring. Some experts think
it has peaked, but others
are not certain that the
worst is over. Remember,
too, that half of the cases
occur after the peak.
Remain vigilant.

Washing hands is key
to disease prevention

From the Mayo Clinic
HealthLetter, December
2009:
Following on the heels
of the previous item about
the flu, the Mayo Clinic
reminds readers there is a
right way to wash hands
for good hygiene and
disease prevention.
Hand sanitizers can be
used throughout the day
in places where water and
soap are not available.
Surprisingly, they are more
effective than washing for
killing germs on unsoiled
hands. Use enough of an
alcohol-based sanitizer to
cover the hands, wrists,
cuticles and between the
finger and nails.
It is still important to
wash hands with soap and
water when they are
soiled, before eating and
after using the bathroom.
You may think you know
how, but here's a refresher:
Work up a lather using


warm water and soap.
Continue to lather for at
least 15 seconds.
Focus on fingertips and
around fingernails. It
helps to press the finger-
tips of one hand into the
cupped palm of the other
and rotate the fingertip.
Try not to touch the
faucet with clean hands.
Use paper or hand towels
and use the towel to turn
off the water. They also
suggest turning off the
water with your elbow or
top of your wrist, but I
tried it and you'd have to
be a contortionist.

Shelley Koppel is unable
to endorse specific treat-
ments for disease. Any
protocols for treatment or
testing she discusses are
accepted standards of
medical practice as
recommended by agencies
such as the American
Academy ofPediatrics or
the American Cancer
Society. When she draws
from personal experience,
those are her experiences
and are not medical
recommendations.

How much RAM is enough?


ne of the questions I
am asked frequently
by those looking to
buy a new computer is
whether the machine they
are looking at has enough
RAM.
Usually, I ask them what
they are planning on using
the machine for and how
much memory the
machine has. Then I
usually can't help but to
laugh inside when I hear
the answer.
It's very common today
to hear things such as,
"well it only has 2 giga-
bytes of memory and all
I'm planning on doing with
it is e-mail and surfing the
Web. Will 2 gigs be
enough?"
Or, "I don't use the
machine for much, I just
mainly use it for e-mail
and Quicken. Quicken is
very important to me and I
want to make sure my new
machine is going to be
able to run it OK. Are you
sure that just 2 gigabytes is
going to be able to do the
job?"
And, "the ad says this
machine can take up to 4
gigabytes. Maybe I should
get four just to be safe.
What do you think?"
It's at that point I usually
have to stifle a chuckle


r
A-


COMPUTE
THIS

"--M
because to me, that's
funny.
Now, don't get me
wrong, I'm not trying to be
rude, cocky or arrogant, it's
just that I've been doing
this for a while and I can
remember, not too long
ago, when just the idea of
having a gigabyte of
memory in your home
computer was the stuff of
science fiction.
I can even remember
writing a column in 1996
explaining to readers how
they should be able to run
their machines with just 16
megabytes of memory.
(Just to put that in per-
spective, 1,000 megabytes
equals 1 gigabyte).
Now, don't get me
wrong, I'm not saying you
can run one of today's
machines with only 16 mb;
you certainly do need
considerably more than
that to run 7, Vista (or even
XP), but even with a fancy
operating system such as
Windows 7, the basic tasks
haven't changed much and


2 gigs of memory should
be just fine to check e-
mail, surf the Web and run
Quicken.
Another way to put the
whole memory question
into perspective is to think
of it in terms of money.
Back around 1996, when
Windows still in its infan-
cy, RAM was very expen-
sive. At the time I wrote
that previous column,
saying 16 mb was enough,
RAM was going for about
$50 per megabyte, mean-
ing the 16 mb I was
advocating cost about
$800. So, that means a
gigabyte (1,000 megabytes)
back then would have cost
about $50,000!
Another factor that I
consider is the level of
machine they are replac-
ing. Very often, I will speak
to someone who is replac-
ing an old system (maybe
an old Pentium with 128
mb of ram or something)
and they wonder if 2
gigabytes will work for
them on the new machine.
Doesn't it stand to reason
that if you were able to surf
the Web, check your e-mail
and run Quicken on the
machine you are replacing,
then a new machine, with
more than 10 times the
memory, shouldn't have a


problem handling those
same tasks?
Today, the tasks haven't
changed. It's still e-mail,
the Web and yeah, maybe
some critical program
such as Quicken or some-
thing, but whenever I hear
people pondering whether
2 gigabytes will do it for
them, I can't help but hear
that little "grampa voice"
in the back of my head
saying, "back in my day we
couldn't afford a gigabyte.
We got by with 16 megs
and we liked it!"
Back in 1996, I don't
think I could have ever
imagined being able to get
a gigabyte of RAM, let
alone pay less than $100
for it. The whole thing
makes me wonder what
things will be like a decade
or so in the future.
In 10 years will we have
people wondering if 1
terabyte (1,000 gigabytes)
will be enough or if maybe
they should spring for two?
Regardless, I'm sure they
will probably still only use
their machine for checking
e-mail, surfing the Web
and running Quicken.

been making med-
ical home visits for
nine years.

Doctor, physician assistants make house calls


By Samantha Joseph
Joseph@hometownnewsol.com
MARTIN COUNTY His
odometer tells a story that
separates Jeffery Hulley
from his former colleagues
at Martin Memorial Hospi-
tal's emergency room.
He and his staff at House-
calls Express now drive
about 200 miles per day,
performing a unique service
that has them bringing their
expertise to patients across
the Treasure Coast.


Instead of waiting for
patients to come to him at
the hospital's ER, Mr. Hulley
and his staff make house
calls to about 700 people
each month.
"If they didn't have us
coming to see them, a lot of
our patients would have to
be in a nursing home," he
said.
For many Treasure Coast
residents who have come to
rely on Housecalls Express,
the home visits have meant
more than the ability to con-


tinue to live on their own.
On a recent Tuesday, for
instance, one patient called
reporting difficulty breath-
ing.
Mr. Hulley quickly arrived
at the home, ordered a chest
x-ray, and learned that the
patient suffered from pneu-
monia.
"We'll be able to get her on
medication and get that
cleared up, so she won't
have to go to the hospital,"
he said.
It was the latest of exam-


ple of the homecare PA's
early intervention, prevent-
ing conditions from worsen-
ing for homebound
patients.
It's also the idea behind
his decision to leave his
emergency room job and
start Housecalls Express
about nine years ago. At that
time, the ER employee
would routinely see patients
come in with illnesses that
had developed from minor,

Here's your year-end investment checklist


W we've pretty much
seen it all this past
year, a bear
market, a long rally and
even a period of neither-up-
nor-down.
But even though we've
only got a few weeks left of
2009, you still have time to
make some moves that can
pay off for you in 2010 and
beyond.
Here are a few sugges-
tions to consider:
"Max out" on your IRA
and make regular contribu-


tions next year.
For the 2009 tax year, you
can contribute up to $5,000
to a traditional or Roth IRA,
or $6,000 if you're 50 or
older. And you have until
April 15, 2010, to fully fund
your 2009 IRA. Of course, it's


not always easy to come up
with lump sums of money,
but do whatever you can to
make up for any shortfalls
in your IRA for 2009. And in
2010, consider setting up
automatic monthly contri-
butions to your IRA. It's a
more efficient way to
maximize a great retire-
ment-savings vehicle.
Increase your 401 (k)
contributions.
If your employer permits
it, try to add more money to
your 401(k) or other retire-


ment plan before the year
ends. By increasing your
401(k) contributions, you
can lower your adjusted
taxable income while you
potentially build more
resources for retirement.
Convert your traditional
IRA to a Roth IRA.
Depending on your
individual situation, a Roth
IRA, which offers the
potential for tax-free
growth, provided you meet

On Dec. 11, (my
birthday) the U.S.
House of Representa-
tives passed a bill which
provides a sweeping
overhaul for oversight of
financial institutions by a
new Consumer Financial
Protection Agency. This was
in response to an effort by
our federal government to
improve regulation of our
lending institutions and
avoid another financial
meltdown, which came
close to bringing us into a
second depression.
Before the bill could be
passed, an amendment to
subject car dealer-assisted
financing to some Con-
sumer Financial Protection
Agency oversight was
withdrawn. This was the
result of strong lobbying


efforts by the National
Automobile Dealers Associ-
ation. Consumer advocates
argued that dealers are the
biggest target of consumer
complaints to state agencies
and have been the subject
of a number of lawsuits over
financing for consumers.
"The House exempting
auto dealers from fiscal
oversight is just not right,"
said Jack Gillis, Consumer
Federation of America
spokesman. "Each year
millions of Americans
finance their second biggest
purchase through car
dealers, and these con-
sumers deserve the same
protection as those working
directly with financial
institutions."
We see the same derelic-
tion of duty by Florida
politicians, regulators and
the Florida counterpart to
the NADA, the Florida
Automobile Dealers Associ-
ation. The Florida Legisla-
ture is lobbied heavily by
the FADA not to pass good
laws to protect Florida car
buyers and the Attorney
General will not enforce the
ones we already have.

politicians, regulators


I know exactly what car
dealers and political
conservatives (I'm both) will
say when they learn about
this. "We don't need more
government regulations and
laws."
However, I have to
reluctantly differ on this. It's
easy enough to say that we
don't need more laws and
regulations, but what we do
need is enforcement of the
laws and regulations we
already have. That's true,
but what happens when you
do not enforce the current
laws and regulations? We do
not enforce them and that's
what got us into this
recession. When you see
more laws added to the
books, it's because the
current ones are being
ignored. It maybe faulty
logic, but making new laws
is at least doing something.
If Bill McCollum reads
this or politicians such as
Dave Aronberg who are
running for Bill's current
position of Florida Attorney
General, I'm talking to you.
I'll describe advertisements
by just one car dealer in the
PB Post auto classified
section. You can see for
yourself if you can locate a
copy of last Saturday's
paper. If you can't don't
worry because the same ads
run almost every day. You
can see similar ads in
newspapers (and TV and
radio) all over Florida. I gave
you an easy one to find
because this dealer spends
more on advertising in the
PB Post than any other. You
can't miss his ads or maybe
you can, because you have
allowed him to run rampant
for years.
Advertised prices exclude
all rebates including those
for owner loyalty, active
military service and college
graduate. In order to qualify
for the advertised price the
buyer would have to own
the make of car being sold
(loyalty), be on active duty
in the military and have
graduated within the last six
months from an accredited
four-year college. Do you
know anybody that can
qualify for all three?
Advertised prices are
discounted from "list,"
which is not MSRP but the
much higher price that this
dealer calls "list" after he
adds his window sticker
next to the Maroney label's

their harm, some empathetic judge unrestrained by mini-
mum-sentence guidelines has permitted the perpetrator free
with a ludicrously brief sentence, of even no time at all.
Those who like the current system, and are more con-
cerned with the rights of criminals than they are with inno-
cent victims, want to maintain the status quo. However,
increasingly, the common-sense, man on the street appreci-
ates the value of a system of mandatory sentences.

Listen to the people

It would be nice if we could judge people by their words,
but the real test of folks is their actions.
President Obama has many times said he wants to hear the
views of others ("I believe deeply that we cannot solve the
challenges of our time unless we solve them together") but if
anyone offers an opinion he dislikes, the discussion turns

MSRP.
Advertised prices are plus
"dealer installed options." In
other words, whatever the
dealer decides to add to the
car you want to purchase at
whatever price and markup
is what you have to pay over
the advertised price. These
are typically overpriced
accessories such as stripes,
window etch, floor mats and
door edge guards.
Advertised prices have
small numbers next to them
that are coded like this:
STK#2ACL45778. This is the
stock number for the
advertised vehicle and that
means that only one vehicle
is available at this adver-
tised price. It also means he
can add his $799 dealer fee
to the car that he substitutes
for this car. Florida law
allows this.
Advertised price are plus
his $799 dealer fee, but it's
disclosed as being plus
dealer fee in the fine print,
not in the advertised price
as Florida law requires.
Advertised prices exclude
$5,000 on the "presump-
tion" that the customer has
a trade-in worth $3,500 and
a cash down payment of
$1,500.
This is disclosed, but in
obscure language (trade
equity) and small print,
whereas the "price" after
excluding the $5,000 down
payment is in large print
and labeled "your final
price."
The excuse that I've heard
from the State's Attorney's
office in the past is that they
just don't have the manpow-
er to enforce these laws.
How long can it take to go
online from your office in
Tallahassee and check the
auto classified of the major
metro markets in Florida?
A warning letter to the
dealer followed by a $10,000
fine and a press release
would solve the problem.
If you really want to make
it easy on your staff, just
hold the newspapers and
other media responsible for
running blatantly illegal and
deceptive ads. There is a
huge conflict of interest,
especially with advertising
revenues plummeting in
this recession. A newspaper
is very reluctant to refuse to
run ads by their largest
advertiser unless you give
them a strong, financial
reason not to.

Realtor meets with real estate

international chairman, co-founder


For Hometown News
News@hometownnewsol.com
MARTIN COUNTY -
Patrick Stracuzzi, a bro-
ker-associate of the Patrick
Stracuzzi team at RE/MAX
of Stuart, met with Dave
Liniger, co-founder and
chairman of RE/MAX inter-
national to discuss current
market conditions and the
direction the company will
take into the future.
Topics discussed includ-


House

but untreated, conditions.
"They would come in by
ambulance for what turned
out to have started as a cold
or infection," he said. "We
thought there had to be a
better way."
The solution was a sort of
home-delivery program for
frail, mostly elderly patients,
who live alone and aren't
fully able to care for them-
selves.
The constantly growing
practice provides all the
services that patients would
get at a traditional doctor's
office.
Staff can write prescrip-
tions, for instance, or order
medical tests, ultrasounds,
serve as primary care
providers, set up therapy
sessions and arrange home


ed current and future inter-
est rates, buyer tax credit
legislation, short sales,
foreclosures, marketing,
social networking and con-
tinuing education for
agents, buyers and sellers.
The Patrick Stracuzzi
team finished 2008 as the
No. 1 RE/MAX in Florida,
No. 27 in the United States
and they ranked as the No.
47 RE/MAX team in the
World.
Mr. Stracuzzi is an interna-


delivery of medication.
Clinicians also respond to
minor emergencies, such as
sprains and falls.
About 97 percent of their
patients qualify for
Medicare, but administra-
tors say many insurers cover
their services for home-
bound patients, including
quadriplegic and accident
survivors.
Home visits allow the cli-
nicians a close-up view of
patients' lives that would be
impossible to gain from a
brief office consultation.
Access to their medicine
cabinets, for instance,
makes it easier to review
medications or tell if
patients are taking them
correctly.
With regular visits, clini-
cians and patients also
develop a close bond that's
rare in the emergency room,

MARTIN COUNTY -
Martin County speech and
debate students faced off
in a friendly tournament of
skill on Nov. 20 in what has
become an annual tradi-
tion between Martin and
Jensen Beach high schools.
The tournament, organ-
ized for the first time last
year to showcase develop-
ing skills among students
and to raise money for
both schools' debate pro-
grams, is a special treat for
parents, who don't have
the opportunity to see their
students participate dur-
ing the season's regular line
up of debate tourneys.
About 50 people attend-
ed the event, which was
hosted at Martin County
High School.
Students from both
schools sold tickets to the
event, solicited sponsor-
ships and sold baked
goods, proceeds from
which help pay for bus
travel to regularly sched-
uled tournaments and
associated fees.
Both schools took home
first-place trophies in


events that included oral
interpretation, speech and
duo interpretation.
Rachel Rohan of Martin
County took first place for
her oral interpretation of
an excerpt from a Beverly
Park book, while Richie
LoSardo and Marie
Mahovetz took home first
place for their duo inter-
pretation of the creation of
Adam and Eve.
Emily Kaiser, a senior at
Jensen Beach High School,
won first place for her
delivery of an original
speech written about her
grandfather.
Other winners of the
tournament were: oral
interpretation: Maureen
Dolan, MCHS, second
place; Marianna Swift,
JBHS, third place and Bai-
ley Gleason, JBHS, fourth
place.
Speech: Joseph Smith,
JBHS, second place and
Nyssa Clark, MCHS, third
place.
Due interpretation:
Andrew Bartuska and
Rebeca De La Espriella,
MCHS, second place; and
Charles Spring and
Chelsea Daley, JBHS, third
place.

From page A7
certain conditions, may be
a better choice than a
traditional IRA, which offers
the potential for growth on
a tax deferred basis.
Consequently, if you meet
eligibility limits, you may
want to convert your
traditional IRA to a Roth
IRA. However, this conver-
sion is likely going to be a
"taxable event," so you'll
need to have money
available outside your IRA
for the tax bill. You'll want
to discuss this move with
your tax advisor.
Sell your "losers."
If it's appropriate for your
portfolio balance and long-
term goals, you may want
to sell some investments
that have lost value to take
the tax losses.
If these losses exceeded
your capital gains from
selling appreciated stocks,
you can deduct up to $3,000
(or $1,500 for married
couples filing separately)
against your other income,
reducing the amount on
which you must pay taxes.
And, if you lost more than
$3,000, you can carry over
the excess into subsequent
years. Consult with a tax
advisor before selling
investments to claim a tax
loss.
Consolidate your
investment accounts.
Instead of having an IRA
with one firm, some other
investments with another
and a cash-value insurance
policy with a third, you
might want to consolidate
all your assets with one
provider. That way, you'll be
better able to align all your
assets with a central,
unified investment strategy.
Review your insurance
coverage.
Over the course of a year,
you could experience
significant changes in your
life: marriage or divorce, the
birth of a new child or the
departure of an older child
from your home, the start of
a new job or retirement
from an old one and so on.
That's why you'll want to
make sure you have the
right amount and type of
insurance to protect your
family and your financial
future.
By making these moves,
you can close out 2009 on a
positive note, while posi-
tioning yourself for
progress on your long-term
goals.

a free, no-obligation
portfolio review, call

Hearing loss:

Who's at risk and why?
More than 28 million Americans approximately one out of 10 people -
have a hearing loss, according to the Web site HearingLoss.org. But this doesn't
mean everybody has the same type of hearing loss, nor is there a single one-size-
fits-all solution.
Hearing loss can be divided into two main categories: sensorineural
and conductive.
Sensorineural hearing loss, often called"nerve deafness,"results from
damage to nerve endings in the inner ear. Common causes include pro-
longed exposure to excessive noise, the aging process, viral or bacterial
infections, the use of certain medications, genetic syndromes and trau-
ma to the head. Sensorineural loss is most commonly treated with hear-
ing aids.
Conductive hearing loss occurs in the outer and/or middle ear.
Obstructions, such as earwax, or physical abnormalities impede the
ability of sound waves to move through the ear canal. Most cases of
conductive hearing loss can be corrected with surgery or medicine.
Some people experience "mixed"hearing loss, which is a combination
of sensorineural and conductive loss.
By far, the most prevalent type of hearing loss, representing about
95% of all cases, is sensorineural. Contrary to what many people think, -
old age is not the number-one risk factor for sensorineural loss. In fact,
extended exposure to noise causes about 34% of all hearing loss in the
U.S., followed by the aging process at 28%.
In today's increasingly noisy society, consumers can protect their
hearing simply by wearing an inexpensive set of ear plugs. While
extremely loud noises, including those generated by rock concerts and
firearms, are typically associated with hearing loss, even comparatively
low-level noises coming from lawnmowers, busy freeways and other
everyday sources can take their toll over time.
Despite preventive action, hearing loss may not be entirely avoidable,
due to genetics or other factors. Consumers who suspect a hearing loss
should seek care from a qualified professional: an otolaryngologist,
audiologist or hearing aid dispenser.


Recognizing hearing loss -

and getting help
A person's hearing ability usually deteriorates over long periods of time, fre-
quently during a 25- to 30-year span. Because of its gradual onset, hearing loss
is difficult to detect. Often the person with the hearing loss fails to recognize the
problem; rather, it's family members or friend especially someone who hasn't
been with the person for a while.
Following are some of the most common signs of a hearing loss:
Asking people to speak more loudly or slowly
Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
Hearing people talk, but not understanding what they're saying
Particular trouble understanding children's or other high-pitched voices
Difficulty hearing on the telephone
Unable to hear the telephone or doorbell ringing
Family members complaining about the TV or radio being turned
up too loud
Difficulty hearing conversation while riding in the car
Avoiding social situations because of background noise and difficulty
hearing conversation
Lack of participation in meetings and other gatherings
Feelings of being left out of discussions or"people are talking about
me behind my back"
Feelings that loved ones are"treating me differently"or "making
decisions without my participation"
Spending increasing amounts of time alone
Although the symptoms of a hearing loss may be obvious to others,
hearing-impaired individuals frequently do not admit that they have a
problem. Consequently, they often don't get help until their quality of
Life has declined significantly or until a spouse or other family member
pushes them into action.
S". Getting help, most often in the form of hearing aids, can have positive
and measurable implications. This is substantiated by a study entitled
"The Consequences of Untreated Hearing Loss in Older Persons."
Hearing aid wearers in the study reported improvements in several areas
.' of their lives, including relationships at home (66%), feelings about
themselves (60%) and feelings about life overall (62%).

Christmas jamboree
this weekend
There will be a Christmas
jamboree on Dec. 19, spon-
sored by Port Salerno Com-
munity Productions. The
fun runs from noon-8 p.m.
on Dixie Highway between
Salerno Road and Seaward.
Free events include a chil-
dren's area with inflatables
and face painting, a 60-foot
Christmas tree, a snow
mountain and a visit by

Entertaining gifts
abound

If you still haven't found
the perfect gift for someone
special, consider the gift of
entertainment. Tickets to a
show or membership in one
of the local theaters or com-

in our area, as well.
The Sunrise and Lyric the-
atres have many shows in
upcoming months.
The Lyric begins the New
Year with chanteuse Ann
Hampton Callaway, as part
of the Ovation Concert
series.
That Jan. 2 concert is fol-
lowed by the Bronx Wander-
ers on Jan. 7 and "Aspects of
Webber" on Jan. 10. The lat-
ter, a salute to the music of
Andrew Lloyd Webber, is
ideal for "Phantom" lovers.
The Sunrise New Year
begins with a rock 'n roll
show featuring Booby Vee,
Brian Hyland and Shirley
Alston Reeves of the
Shirelles.
Jan. 10 brings the Village
People. You know if you have
a disco fan in the house!
Jan. 15 brings the Outlaws,
with Blackberry Smoke.
Community theater tick-
ets also make great gifts.
From Jan. 27-31, Shiloh
Theatrical Productions pres-

James Tucker
Week of 12-18-2009
Aries-March 21-April 19
You are like a race car,
revving up and wanting to
run. As the year winds
down, try to relax a little.
Enjoy your other victories
this year. Your greatest
virtue is that you never quit
until the race is run. You are
a proven champion. Just be
sure to keep life in balance
so you don't burn out. Many
more victories are on the
way.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Slow down a little, take a
step back, get a second
wind and then move for-
ward again. Pacing yourself
to prevent burnout is so
important. No one expects
you to go all out all the
time. If they do, you are
being used. Take the lighter
touch in 2010. Sometimes
less is more. Be good to
yourself. If you don't, no
one else can.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Focus on what makes you
happy. If your heart isn't in
it don't do it. If you have to
do distasteful things, learn
to love them or don't do
them. Like attracts like in
the universe. What we sow
we reap back multiplied.
Don't forget this. For this to
work you must be following
your heart, not your head.
Do this and be happy.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
You are so inspiring. It is
your large heart. The univer-
sal presence within you
constantly inspires you to
do your best. You wake up
each morning with so much
love and joy in your soul.
You wonder "How can I give
it to those I love?" It's sim-
ple really. Focus on the
greatest need, fill it and
then move on to the next.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
One of the main keys to
your success is that you
know how to bring your
inner fire, light and vision to
the surface. This is because
your heart is open and you
are in touch with your spirit.
You are a fire sign, you
know. Be patient with oth-
ers less intuitive as you.
One of your missions in life
is to inspire others to do
well.

The Village People
Producer/Composer Jacques Morali found Felipe dancing in
his Indian costume in a crowd in NY's Greenwich Village, and
seeing him, gave him the idea to put together a group of
Village icons from a variety of American social groups. Soon
after, Morali saw VictorWillis in Broadway's The Wiz and
Victor brought along Alex Briley to play a G.I.With partner
Henri Belolo, Morali held auditions for 3 more performers
and Village People was formed! These six talented men
combine energetic choreography with outrageous fun and
lots of bumping and grinding, singing and dancing, provide
great entertainment for all!

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 "My CU
am suggesting a change that
will reward both d y and your expectat
customers.
Virtually every car dealer ofeduce
in Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a SOphistit
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 much high
to nearly $1,000. This extra
charge is programmed into
your computer. It has been made illegal in
many states including California, but is still
legal in Florida. The reason you charge this
fee is simply to increase the price of the car
E NT and your profit in such a manner that it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
ire wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
one and when I stopped charging it a few years
your ago it was scary. But I did it because I could
way no longer, in good conscience, mislead my
uld customers. Just because everybody else
ed, was doing the same thing, did not make it
us. 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

tion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
nation are I think of myself as the new
"sheriff' that has come to
er 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.

Scopes
From page B1
with courage and determi-
nation. You continue to
grow spiritually and univer-
sally. You are to be applaud-
ed with you tenacity. You
worry less. You are happier.
When you are happy it
makes others happy. You
are fun to be around. Keep
the lighter touch and next
year will be great.
Libra-Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You make wise decisions.
Why? Because you look at
three possible solutions. Do
I take the safe route? Do I go
down the middle of the
road? Do I take the risky
route? The safe route says,
"wait." The middle says,
"please everybody." The risky
brings the highest rewards.
You have much risk-taking
in your heart.
Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Emotional, spiritual and uni-
versal growth comes when
the conscious mind is sur-
rendered to the higher will
and you begin to follow
your heart, not your head.
It's time to take your life to a
higher level. Go inside and


listen to and trust your gut
instincts. They speak the
truth first. Get out of your
own way, relax and prosper.
Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This has been a year of
remarkable change and
growth. Just wait and see
what the New Year will
bring. You have renewed
strength in your thoughts,
feelings, spirit and body. No
one can keep up with you
when you are at your best.
It's your fiery nature.
Achievement is fuel to your
soul. Get ready. More is on
the way.
Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Love is the greatest spiritual
gift. You were born with
tons of it. Your life is about
service to others. You don't
need many material things.
When you are loved and
appreciated, you are at your
best. No one has the ability
to nurture and give love
from the heart more than
you. The New Year will bring
it back to you multiplied.
Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Inner wisdom comes easier
when you are centered. Live
life one day at a time. Wake
up each day knowing that


today is the best day of your
life and tomorrow is the
next one. Live in positive
expectancy. This opens the
instincts and heart and
allows positive ideas to pop
into the mind. Yours is a
great mind.
Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Continue to trust the univer-
sal power and all you need
to move forward to your
highest good and truth will
always be there. Put spirit
first. If you aren't sure, wait.
Your heart will tell you. Stay
strong in your spiritual
beliefs about life. You have
come a long way. There is
still a ways to go. Continue
to swim. Never give up.

W we've all made our
share of bogeys, not
just on the golf
course, but in life, as well.
Over the past few weeks,
we've witnessed the biggest
off-course bogey in the
history of our sport.
Yes, I'm talking about Tiger
Woods. I had planned to
avoid this subject, as it's
been beaten to death by
every news agency from
Beijing to Boston. However,
after being asked by my
fellow golfers and friends
what I think, I felt it best to
say a few words.
Without a doubt, our sport
has benefited from the
world-wide popularity of our
now-tainted superstar. The
professionals on the PGA
Tour and around the world
play for and earn more
money than at any other
time in history. They owe all
of that to Tiger and the
ratings he brings.
Therein lies the problem
golf's governing bodies now
face. How do you punish
your golden goose? Do you
punish him at all? Is the
current public flogging
enough penance?I don't
have the answer, but we will
now see just how dangerous
it is to put all your eggs in
one basket.
Tiger Woods has been
built up to be bigger than the
game. Those in charge have
stuck him down every throat
at every possible moment.
The casual fan has been lead
to believe that he's actually
the only guy playing the
game. Now those same suits
will have to find a way to
distance the sport from him
and find a new flag-bearer.
Will Tiger fall off the planet
and disappear from the
game? Perhaps he will for a
short time. I think a lot
depends on just how
forgiving his wife, Elin, is.
While his discussions with
his family and how they tend
to this matter are private, he
does owe the public some-
thing. When you make your
money off the public and in
the public eye, invading our
privacy with commercials
and other ads, then you owe
us something when you
betray us.
The apology or explana-
tion doesn't have to come
today or tomorrow. He needs
to straighten out his own
house first. But I hope he
doesn't expect to show up for
his first post-infidelity event
and expect everyone to fawn
all over him once again.
He had his haters before
and I'm willing to bet they
now out-number the
worshipers. There will be T-
shirts and hecklers and so
much more at any event he
plays in. If you think the
media circus before was
insane, now fans, his fellow
competitors and he, will
have to deal with not just the

Fish plentiful, but some seasons closed


Cool temperatures,
some wind, overcast
and sunshine. It must
be winter.
Offshore, the wind has
kept the seas at 3 to 4 feet.
That's great for sailfish. Be at
the bridge when the lights
come on. There's lots of
snook or look to the flat
water for the reds and trout.
The surf is cooling, so
more blues and mackerels
and don't forget, it is time
for the pompano.
Surf anglers, before you
unload all your gear take a
look at the edge. Do you see
any activity? If not, move to
the next access.
I've had anglers talking
about the big croakers at
Bob Graham Beach and
anglers telling me there was
nothing at the Holiday Inn
location.
Don't worry, it'll change


FISHING
HENRY
CAIMATTO


by tomorrow. Blue fish have
made a strong appearance
on spoons and cut baits.
Mix in the mackerels and
jacks for an excellent morn-
ing.
Late morning is when the
whiting, croaker and snook
come to the edge. They will
stay out until the sun warms
the water. Who would want
to hang around with a
school of blues?
Snook season closed Dec.
15 and will reopen Feb. 1, so
take the barbs off the hooks
for a quick release.
Wind has the water
churning at the bridges.
Cast up into the current and


let the current present your
bait. All you have to do is
keep the slack out of the
line. Use Flair Hawks, you
pick the color.
Trout and reds like the flat
water, it's less turbid. But
remember, trout season
reopens Jan. 1. From inlet to
inlet we have had good
reports well into late morn-
ing. Sheltered flat water
using shrimp or DOA baits
will find both of them.
Yes, there are plenty of
blues, mackerels, sacks and
ladyfish to make you crazy.
Black drum are at the Roo-
sevelt Bridge, just south of
the draw span.
Offshore, there are sails
and more sails. There are
also dolphin to 20 pounds,
kings to 30 pounds and
black fins, bonita and
wahoo. All of them can be
found in 3 to 5 feet of seas. It


just depends on the size of
the boat and your comfort
zone. Me, I am a wimp. I can
wait for the flat water. But
then who catches the fish?
Trolling bally hoo has
been the best bait and
method. It's like taking din-
ner to the fish. There have
been good reports both
north and south of the inlet,
so start north and troll
south. Either way there are
fish.
Run at least one deep in
your spread and just maybe
you will find that wahoo. I'll
bet you'll find a king of
mackerel waiting, too.
Remember, snook and
trout is closed, so take off
the barbs for easy release.

owner of the Snook Nook
Bait and Tackle shop in
Jensen Beach.

TRAVEL



Ship lives up to


its 'wow' factor


This is the first of a
three-part series on the
Oasis of the Seas cruise
ship.

ith so much to
say in so little
space, this article
will have to be in three
parts.
When it was first
announced that Royal
Caribbean would be
delivering the biggest ship
ever, there was much
speculation about the size
and the amount of passen-
gers it would hold.
Although many of the
comments were negative,
more were positive as to
the architectural wonder
that such a ship would be.
Royal Caribbean started
its campaign with 'Deliv-
ering the WOW!' and I am
here to say they certainly
did. I have never been
disappointed in a new
class of ship, but in this
case, it is so much more
than just admiring the
ship. I was absolutely in
awe of what has been
accomplished here.
I had the pleasure, along
with about 2,800 other
folks, to sail on a special
"travel agent" two-night
voyage on the Oasis of the
Seas and all I could say
was "wow," so I guess the
marketing department of
Royal Caribbean hit its
mark.
A few stats: the vessel is
the largest cruise ship at
225,282 tons and can
accommodate 5,400
guests. It boasts seven
"neighborhoods" from
Central Park, a tropical
plant- and tree-filled
promenade with cafes,
restaurants and boutique
shops, to the Boardwalk, a
Coney Island-esque space
featuring a handmade
wooden carousel and
AquaTheater.
The Royal Promenade is
an inside mall that runs
from mid/aft to forward
with bars, cafe', pizzeria
and shops. The pool deck
is an active place with two
surf simulators, a mini-
golf course, a "beach
pool," private cabanas, a
kids' aquapark (with giant
water-spraying octopus),
plenty of hot tubs and
more.
The entertainment
"neighborhood" has
various nightlife options
including water shows,
live music, standup
comedy and the hit
Broadway musical "Hair-
spray."
Youth Zone is a kids-
only "neighborhood"
featuring a children's
theater, science lab, arts
and crafts classes, video
arcade, nursery and teens-


DOW NT


only space.
The spa and fitness
neighborhood features an
incredible solarium and
options that include a
thermal suite, a spa cafe,
the largest gym at sea and
a dedicated youth spa
area.
We arrived at Port
Everglades in Fort Laud-
erdale about 11:30 a.m.
Seeing the ship while
driving toward it, we could
see it was huge. The
embarkation process was
quick and easy at one of
the 92 check-in desks. We
encountered no issues
here or in debarkation.
Walking up the gang-
plank was a little steep,
which may cause an issue
for those who have
difficulty walking, howev-
er there were plenty of
wheelchairs (with
crewmembers to push
them) available. You did
not have to make prior
arrangements just ask.
Speaking with some
people "in the know" on
board, an escalator type of
device is being considered
for this area. They already
have one for some of the
ports, so it is not such a
stretch.
We boarded on deck
five, the promenade deck.
We crossed over the
jogging track and through
a wide entrance onto the
Royal Promenade, which
runs down the inside of
the ship and has shops,
eateries, bars, etc., on
both sides.
Since it was a little early
to put our luggage in our
cabin, we went directly to
the top of the ship to start
our journey there.
On our way up, the glass
elevators gave us our first
glimpse of things to come
as we passed deck 6 where
you enter the Boardwalk
and deck 8 where we will
later walk along the paths,
through the foliage of
Central Park.
Our very first stop was
the solarium located on
deck 16 forward, just
above the bridge. We were
taken aback by the size
and space, with two huge
strips of glass above that
protect you from the wind

Planting winter annuals


W th the Florida
winter upon us,
nd the possibility
of intermittent cold fronts
and freezing temperatures,
we want to plant annuals
that will need minimal care
during these cold snaps.
Pansies are an excellent
choice, as they tolerate cold
temperatures and offer a
burst of color in your
winter garden. The scientif-
ic name for these delicate
treasures is violax wittrock-
iana.
These plants look
extremely delicate but
actually, they are fairly
hardy in regard to cold
temperatures. They are
used in many different
applications including
window boxes, flowerbed
borders, hanging baskets,
strawberry jars and pots.
Pansies can grow anywhere
from 6 to 9 inches and have
a spread of about 9 to 12
inches.
Pansies are available in
many colors including
white, yellow, gold, bronze,
rose and combinations of
the above listed colors.
Pansies will grow in a
variety of different soils,
but using a rich, dark
planting medium, such as
Miracle Gro, will greatly
enhance the plant quality.
Your plants will do best in
an area that gets some

and rain but allow the sun
to shine through.
There is a space
between the two, which
allows for fresh air to
circulate. Also in the
solarium you will find a
freshwater pool, can-
tilevered whirlpools that
flank both sides, a bar, the
Solarium Bistro serving
light and healthy fare, and
many loungers and
cabanas for two.
Next, we went to the
Windjammer Marketplace
for lunch. I was a bit
surprised that it did not
look overly large for the
amount of people it was
to serve. We ventured
around to find a nice
table by the windows
overlooking the sports
and pool zone. Below we
can see the Central Park
with all its foliage. We
couldn't wait to get down

direct sunlight. If the plants
are in too much shade, they
will grow tall and spindly.
Although pansies are
fairly trouble free, there are
some insects that you need
to watch for. In our area,
aphids can be the biggest
problem along with snails.
Aphids can be treated with
Orthenex and snails can be
treated with any brand of
snail and slug control
pellets.
In conclusion, pansies
should not be planted in
the same soil for more than
three consecutive years.
Another popular winter
treat is an interesting
looking plant called the
snapdragon. Snapdragons
are one of nature's exam-
ples of splashing color and
style.
These colorful gems
come in a wide assortment
of colors and varieties and
are only available in our
area during the winter
months. They are indeed a
winter treat. The flowers
have a soft scent and the
plants themselves come in
a variety of sizes from


there to explore up front
and personal.
There were plenty of
choices for lunch from
salads to burgers and
fries. A carving station
with steamship beef
(changes daily to turkey,
pork or ham) included all
the trimmings. A station
with more of the lighter
fare was also available.
After lunch, we ven-
tured to our D3 balcony
stateroom located on
deck 12 forward. The
stateroom was nicely
appointed with teak
woods and chrome
accents. The bedding was
incredibly comfortable
and dressed in white
down with turquoise
accents. Both the room
and the bathroom were
spacious enough, as was
the closet.
The bathroom had a
rounded shower with
doors and gave us plenty
of room. One very notice-
able addition was a bar


dwarf varieties to some that
will grow as high as 4 feet.
Since snapdragons produce
the most blooms during
cool weather, right now is
the best time to purchase
and plant your colorful
flowers.
Snapdragons are easy to
grow and do well in partial
shade or sun during
January and February.
Place your plants in an area
of your yard that drains
well and is not completely
shaded. Be sure to use a
high-quality potting mix,
such as Miracle Gro, so
your plants can get a good
start and will also drain
well.
Using a good-quality
potting soil also has the
advantage of promoting
good drainage while
retaining just enough
moisture so your plants do
not dry out as easily
between watering. Fertilize
your plants on a regular
basis, at least once every
two weeks. Use a good
quality water-soluble
fertilizer, such as Miracle
Gro.

that was mounted catty-
corner, about a foot off
the floor of the shower for
leg shaving (if you have
ever tried to shave your
legs in a tiny shower, you
will really appreciate this
addition).
We ventured out to see
the other staterooms in
various categories set up
for our viewing. The
various pricing of the
balconies is based on the
location of the stateroom,
not necessarily the size of
the room; they were all
basically the same size.
I will embellish more in
my next column. There
was so much to see and
do, three would probably
not be enough, so I will
cram as much as I can to
each.

Between now and then, I
hope he gets some help. He
definitely has a problem of
some sort. Even more, I hope
that Elin looks very closely
into her life and what she
wants and expects for herself
and her two young children.
She, and they, deserve so
much better from her
husband. Every wife and
mother does.
If Tiger truly loves her and
she him, then they should try
to find a solution. They
should be given their time,


privacy and space to work
this out.
Regardless of the outcome,
when he returns, then he
should at the least apologize
to us. We don't need the
sordid details. Tiger played
the part of the fan-loving
athlete when we were
padding his bank account on
a daily basis. Because of that,
he owes us as well.
