Local mother seeks miracle in China


Hopes stem cell
therapy will
restore toddler's
eyesight

PORT ORANGE Elioe
Burgos, known as Tre, whirls
around the house with the
boundless energy of any 18-
month-old. At first glance, it's
hard to discern that the little
boy scrambling up his moth-
er's chair to reach the comput-
er keyboard is legally blind. ,'
"He has this place mapped
out by heart," said Tre's moth-
er, AbbyWolfe, 25.
When Tre was three months
old, he was diagnosed with
Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, a
condition resulting from the
underdevelopment of the
optic nerve during pregnancy.
The news was a blowto Ms.
Wolfe, a single mother who
was attending Daytona Beach
Community College while
working part-time at Wal-
Mart.
"It was very hard," the Port
Orange resident said. "I'd
never heard of it before."
There is no cure for ONH,


said Tre's physician, Dr. Dawn
Maxwell, a pediatric ophthal-
mologist based at Nemours
Children's Clinic in Jack-
sonville.
Although Dr. Maxwell
would not specifically discuss
Tre's case due to privacy
issues, she is very familiar with
ONH, one of the three most
common causes of visual
impairment in children.
To date "there is no therapy,
no way to cure it, no surgery
for it," Dr. Maxwell said.
Although the level of blind-
ness can vary with each child,
the news generally is not
encouraging, she said.
"Unfortunately the kids
(usually) have very limited
vision," she said.
Despite that crushing prog-
nosis, Ms. Wolfe still has hope.
She will travel to Hangzhou
City, China in February for Tre
to undergo umbilical stem cell
therapy a treatment not
available in the U.S.
While researching Tre's con-
dition, Ms. Wolfe found Web
sites featuring dozens of testi-
monials from patients and
families claiming the contro-
versial treatment has success-
fully restored vision.

Palmer Chiropractic


eyemg expansion


School 'in a growth
mode,' official says
BY JEANNE'WILLARD
Staff writer
PORT ORANGE At the turn of
the century, Daniel David Palmer
began the then revolutionary prac-
tice of chiropractic therapy by estab-
lishing a small college in Iowa.
More than 100 years later, when
Palmer College of Chiropractic offi-
cials began scouring the country for
a third location, they selected Port
Orange out of hundreds of cities to
establish the first and only chiro-
practic college in the Sunshine State
in 2002.
This was largely due to the
assertiveness of the City Council and
two city officials City Manager Ken
Parker and Mayor Allen Green who
sold college officials on the merits of
Port Orange.
"We felt they could be a good fit
with the city," Mr. Parker said.
With a record enrollment of more


than 700 students, the school is
looking to expand, said Ted Nikolla,
communications specialist.
"We are definitely in a growth
mode," he said.
As part of the city's visioning plan
in 1997, council members said they
wanted an institution of higher edu-
cation in the city, Mr. Parker said.
When local chiropractors told city
officials that the Iowa college was
looking to expand, the city put
together a proposal and Mr. Parker
and Mr. Green flew to Davenport to
woo college officials.
"I was amazed at how many local
chiropractors were Palmer gradu-
ates," Mr. Green said. The local prac-
titioners opened the door for us, he
said.
"We arrived at the right time," he
said, with their visit coinciding with
Palmer College's desire to expand in
the south.
"Palmer College of Chiropractic
had long considered establishing a

Stop the presses -


Inlet gets 2nd store


New 7-11 store offers convenience -, -


BY JEANNE WILLARD

PONCE INLET When
the world's largest conven-
ience retailer opens yet
another store, it's not usual-
ly news unless the store is
one of only two in town.
On Dec. 22, 7-Eleven
opened a new store in the
Shoppes at Fisherman's
Harbour Village creating a
buzz in the seaside village
that is home to an existing
Kangaroo Express but no
grocery store.
Bearing little resemblance
to the average chain store,
the coral-hued building
with only one small sign at
the entrance, blends into
the center's Key West archi-


tectural style and will not
sell gasoline as many 7-
Eleven stores do.
Store manager Egon
Gantner is working closely
with the city to make sure
the store complies with the
town's tight code restric-
tions, recently removing a
corporate flag and a non-
conforming sign when city
officials called it to his
attention, he said.
Located at 4618 S. Atlantic
Ave., the store is virtually
surrounded by condomini-
um complexes and is on the
main road leading in and
out of the inlet, something
Mr. Gantner is banking on
to bring in a steady stream

PORT ORANGE -
Although the colloquial
expression "win-win situ-
ation" may be overused
at times, local veterans
say the term perfectly
describes negotiations
with a local real estate
firm that resulted in a
new VFW Post.
Veterans from VFW
Post 3282 kicked off 2008
with a New Year's Eve
party in a new 10,000
square-foot building
located just behind the
post's previous aging
headquarters.
In February, the VFW
inked an agreement with
Airport Pharmacy LLC
which includes the prin-
cipals of Charles Wayne
Properties to trade -its
Williamson Boulevard
frontage for the con-
struction of a larger


building some 200 yards
behind the old location,
said Suzanne Konchan,
project manager.
Charles Wayne Proper-
ties will build a Wal-
green's store using the
traded site and addition-
al lot on the corner of
Williamson and Taylor
Road, she said.
The deal was struc-
tured so there were no
out-of-pocket expenses
for the VFW, Ms. Konchan
said.
"It's very unusual to
structure a deal like this,"
she said.
Walgreen's will get a
new site at a great loca-
tion in Port Orange and
VFW members benefited
from more space, parking
and a new building, she
said.
"It's really a beautiful
building," Ms. Konchan

presence in the southeast-

Chancellor for Support
Service.
"As we considered our
options for opening a new
campus, we began build-
ing a relationship with the
City of Port Orange, Mr.
Lee said. "That relation-
ship has been a big factor
in the success of our Flori-
da Campus."
Both Mr. Parker and Mr.
Green said they were
impressed with how the
college supported their
home city of Davenport, a
characteristic that has
continued in Port Orange,

they said.
"Palmer is committed to
the city," Mr. Parker said.
The college is involved
in schools, community
events and maintains a
clinic that provides care on
a sliding scale for those
who could not otherwise
afford it, he said.
The growth of the cam-
pus can be attributed to
the desirable location and
people's interest in healthy
lifestyles, Mr. Nikolla said.
"The Florida lifestyle,
the fact that it's a new
campus and new facility"
are bringing students from
all over the country who
are interested in alterna-
tive care, he said.
Mature students are the
norm at Palmer College
with an average student
age of 27, Mr. Nikolla said.
That's good for the com-
munity, Mr. Green said.


"Most don't want to go
back up north" after com-
pleting the program and
many establish roots in the
community, he said.
Keith Johnston, 39, one
of 73 students who recent-
ly graduated, moved to
Florida from Oregon to
attend Palmer College but
hopes to stay in the area.
He is working with an
investment company that
will help him set up an
office and allow him to
purchase the practice in
the future, he said.
Palmer College provides
a tax base for the city and
brings jobs that are above
the average area salaries,
Mr. Parker said.
The college is starting to
forge relationships with
Halifax Health and hospice
organizations, Mr. Nikolla
said.

chiropractic medicine has
not always been embraced
by the traditional medical
community but that's
changing, he said.
Health care providers -
"see chiropractors as
another way of alleviating'
pain for people," he said,
something that chiroprac-
tic professional organiza-
tions confirm.
"We are hearing anecdo-
tally from doctors in the
field that there is more col-
laboration among chiro-
practors and health care
professionals," said Angela
Kargus, director of public
and media relations for the
American Chiropractic
Association.
"Approximately 7.4 per-
cent of, the population use
chiropractic care which -
equzites to approximately
22 million people," Ms.
Kargus said.
The Port Orange campus
features two modern
buildings housing class-
rooms, labs, bookstore,
cafe and administrative
offices. With no dorms, all
students live off-campus,
Mr. Nikolla said.
The tuition for the four-
ahd-quarter academic
years of clinical and class-
room instruction runs
around $80,000, he said.
"It's been a very good
program for both of us,"
Mr. Parker said. "They are
great partners."

of customers, he said.
Besides the convenience
factor for residents, the
store also will generate new
tax revenue and likely will
attract other businesses to
the shopping center, which
still has two vacant build-
ings, said Ralph Schoen-
herr, development services
director.
"It will serve as an anchor
to fill the other two build-
ings," Mr. Schoenherr said.
While the town's popula-
tion is around 3,200, hun-
dreds of thousands visit the
town each year to explore
its lighthouse, marine sci-
ence center, beaches, fish-
ing and restaurants.
Nearby Harbour Village
resident Peter Manley
zipped across the street in
his motorized wheelchair,
happy to be able to shop
without getting into a car,
he said. The wide store
aisles easily accommodate
his chair, he said.


"I think it's perfect," Mr.
Manley said as he stopped
in to buy a newspaper.
Although the chain is
well known for beverages
such as Slurpee's and Big
Gulps, the store will stock
premium wines, fresh
food items and other con-
venience items specifical-
ly tailored to the local
community, said spokes-
woman Margaret Chabris.
"This is a great opportu-
nity for us to offer conven-
ience to this upscale com-
munity," Ms. Chabris said.
In addition to a large
coffee bar, deli and break-
fast sandwiches, lottery
tickets and other conven-
ience items, the store also
stocks fishing gear such as
rods, hooks and nets,
catering to local fisher-
men, Mr. Gantner said. He
also is considering selling
frozen bait in the future,
he said.

Besides the convenience factor for residents,
the store also will generate new tax revenue
and likely attract other businesses to the shop-
ping center, which has two vacant buildings.

Ralph Schoenherr
Development services director


resident, Karen Beaumont,
was pleased to find the
store open after returning
to the town following a
four-month absence. She
said she likes the conven-
ience of additional shop-
ping choices without hav-
ing to leave town.
"I'm thrilled," she said.
"This was a big surprise. I'm
very happy to see it."
Founded in 1927 with
more than 33,000 stores
worldwide, the 7-Eleven
name referred to the hours
the store was originally
open, but today the stores,
including the Ponce Inlet
site, are open 24 hours, Ms.


Chabris said.
Although Ms. Chabris
declined to verify the pur-
chase price, Volusia County
Appraiser records show the
commercial condominium
was purchased by 7-Eleven
for $600,000.
Mr. Gantner, who trans-
ferred from a Daytona
Beach store, said his staff
will listen carefully to what
residents would like to see in
stock and will try to accom-
modate requests.
"I haven't heard a negative
reaction yet," he said of his
first round of customers.
"Everybody more than
welcomed us."

Xmas 2007 a breeze


compared to 2006


Hi Hometown News
Readers.
I hope the holidays
were joyous and peaceful
for all of you. Certainly
December 25th was a
quieter day in Volusia
County compared to one
year ago when a powerful
tornado touched down in
the county.
The storm touched down
on the west side, then tore
east to Daytona Interna-
tional Airport, through
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University and into apart-
ments, homes and busi-
nesses near Nova Road and
International Speedway
Blvd. The Sutton Place
Apartments took a direct
hit, destroying nearly 50
units in several buildings
there. Many residents were
away for the holidays, but
those who were home say
the winds were so fierce
they are grateful they
survived. Roofs blew away,
walls sheared off leaving
personal contents exposed
to the elements.
At the university, the
outcome of the storm was
devastating. The tornado
did more than $50 million
in damage. Buildings were
ruined, planes in the
school's fleet were tossed
around in the wicked winds
like tinker toys. However,
Embry-Riddle administra-
tors will always be grateful
that if a tornado had to
touch down, it did so on a
day when the campus was
near empty because of the
holiday. The school has
come back almost to full
speed. The last of the
damaged buildings,
Spruance Hall, was recently
demolished and plans are
moving forward for a new
administration building at
the site.
Volusia County Sheriff's
Deputies have arrested two
men in connection with a
robbery and stabbing
Christmas night.
A 26-year-old man says
he got into a vehicle with
two men he thought he
recognized after they asked
him to help find a nearby
home. The man says that
once in the car, the suspects
demanded money from


CLAIRE METZ

bureau chief
him and punched and
stabbed him when he
refused to comply.
The victim managed to
get out of the car and run to
a nearby home for help. He
was taken to the hospital
with stab wounds to his arm
and stomach.
Just over an hour after the
attack, a deputy spotted the
suspect vehicle and arrest-
ed 35-year-old Richard
Jones of Daytona Beach and
37- year-old Jose Montanez
from Palm Coast. Investiga-
tors say they found evi-
dence in the car includ-
ing the victim's wallet -
that connects the men to
the crime.
A woman walking home
from the store in Daytona
Beach was nearly dragged
when two men in a passing
car grabbed her purse. The
woman left the Seven Store
Food Shop on Mason
Avenue near Palm Drive,
when a U-haul truck pulled
alongside and the passen-
ger asked her for directions.
Before she could answer he
snatched her purse and the
driver floored it.
The woman tried to hold
on, but quickly fell down
suffering a cut on her arm.
The woman was shaken up
but not seriously hurt. She
lost almost $100 and
personal information she
carried in her wallet.
Dogs are still allowed at
Smyrna Dunes Park but
perhaps not for long. In a
battle between man and
beast there, it appears man
has the upper hand. Within

VOLUSIA COUNTY --
While there are many lovely
places to ride bicycles and
walk in Volusia County,
there are hardly any that are
not shared with cars fast
moving cars.
"The Loop is beautiful but
not safe," said Jack Gonza-
lez, owner of The Bike Shop
in Ormond Beach. "A lot of
people have gotten hit (by
cars) there."
But $16 million in state
and federal grants and a lot
of hard work by county offi-
cials will solve the problem
of safe cycling and
rollerblading, walking and
horseback riding when the
first Rails To Trails project
comes to Volusia County
next year.
The trail, which will be the
longest in the southeastern
United States 51 miles, 39
of them in Volusia County -
will come into the southern
end of the county in Edge-
water and another leg will
run through Deltona. It
eventually will hook up to
other trails in the area creat-
ing the Central Florida Loop,

with more than 200 miles of
multi-use trails.
"We've been working on
this one for 14 years," said
Ken Bryan of Rails to Trails.
"I feel like my child is about
to graduate college."
Rails to Trails Conservan-
cy is a national non-profit
organization that works
with state and local govern-
ments to transform unused
railroad corridors into trails.
It has helped build nearly
14,000 miles of trails
throughout the country.
Mr. Bryan said railroad
corridors are perfect places
for trails because they're
basically ready-made.
"You already have the
built up areas to lay the
asphalt on," he said. "If we
had to do that now, it would
be impossible to get it per-
mitted in wetlands. But
there is no additional envi-
ronmental impact to these
projects."
The Volusia County proj-
ect, tentatively called the
East Central Florida Rail
Trail, got a big boost when
Florida East Coast Indus-
tries, which owns the rail-
road and corridor, agreed to
sell the property at a cut-
rate price, Mr. Bryan said.
"It really was a charitable
contribution on their part,"
he said.


as having good places to
ride," he said. "This will help
elevate it a lot. It will defi-
nitely bring people in."
Mr. Harper said the first
step in building the trail is to
complete a management
plan and timelines for con-
struction and maintenance.
Actual construction will
begin after that, hopefully
within three to four months.
The first leg will be a six-
mile stretch in Deltona from
Providence Boulevard to
S.R. 415. As soon as that is
completed, Mr. Harper said,
the Edgewater leg, about
five miles from Dale Street
to State Road 442, will get
underway and hopefully
take only six months to
complete. Mr. Harper hopes
to have that leg completed
in 2009.
The cost for construction
of the trail is estimated at
$400,000 per mile.
Mr. Harper said building
the trail will be simple com-


pared.to the work it took to
get through the red tape in
planning the project.
"It was grueling," he said.
"First getting it approved
through Florida Forever (the
state land acquisition pro-
gram), then .we had prob-
lems with adjacent property
owners trying to make
claims to the property."
Some nearby residents
and business owners may be
concerned about increased
crime, but their fears are
unfounded, Mr. Harper said.
"They worry about that,
but I tell them 'It's kind of
hard to steal a TV on a 10-
speed,'" he said.
Peter Truslow, president of
EdgeWater Power Boats,
which is adjacent to the rail-
road corridor, said he
"enthusiastically" welcomes
the trail.
"What Edgewater needs is
more activities," he said. "I
think this will be of great
value to the community."


Mr. Truslow said he has no
worries about the trail
attracting crime.
Tim Bucher, site supervi-'
sor for the West Orange Trail,
which runs through Apopka
and Winter Garden, said
there have been a couple of
muggings and one attempt-
ed rape in the 13 years since'
the trail opened. Their
biggest problem, he said, is'
vandalism to the trail itself.
"We've had some crime,
but nothing overwhelming,"'
he said. "The residents along,
the trail are not reporting
any criminal activity to us."
Mr. Bucher said there has;
been an explosion of devel-
opment along the trail corri-,
dor. One upscale residential,
development currently is,

said of the completed post.
Commander Albert T.
Burley agreed.
"This was close to a
five-year project to get this
done," he said. "I'm very.
excited."
Both Ms. Konchan and
Commander Burley credit
city staff for working hard
to allow the new post to
open in time for the
annual New Year's Eve
party.
"The Port Orange staff
really stepped up the last
couple of weeks to get the
certificate of occupancy
issued," Ms. Konchan said.


With more than 1,200
members, the post will
make good use of an addi-
tional 600 square-feet of
space the new building
provides, Mr. Burley said.
Post officer Tom Circelli
was around in 1984 for the
previous grand opening
and was helping to set up
the new post last week with
fellow officer Gino Carroll.
"It's going to give us 25
good years for all our war
veterans," Mr. Circelli said
as he looked around the
spacious facility that
includes a banquet room,
two dance floors, a stage,


"We Have Chosen Hometown stle A Our Only


bar, a state-of-the-art
kitchen and 87 parking
spots.
Founded in 1973, the
post is named after Volusia
County resident and World
War II veteran John E.
Mealy and is one of 9,000
worldwide posts that
honor all veterans, Mr.
Burley said.
"This is the finest VFW
in the state of Florida,"
said Junior-Vice Comman-
der Rick Kennedy. "Maybe
the finest in the U.S."
The post will be dedi-
cated to future children
and grandchildren, Mr.


Kennedy said.
"It will be dedicated to'
the vets of the future," the;
80-year-old marine veter-!
an said, acknowledging the
need for new, younger
leadership to take over for
aging World War II veter-
ans.
"We aren't going to be,
here in 10 or 20 years," he6
said.
Added Mr. Circelli: "No'
one owns this. It belongs"
to the veterans."

Riders enjoy a rails to trails project similar to the one coming to Volusia County. The Volusia County trail, which will be
the longest in the southeastern U.S. 51 miles, 39 of them in Volusia County will come into the southern end of the
county in Edgewater.


Another plus about the
FEC corridor is that it passes
'under Interstate 95, allowing
easy access to the other
Central Florida trails, Mr.
Bryan said.
"1-95 basically cuts the
county in two," he said. "If
we had to build a bridge
over it, it would have cost
millions of dollars. But the
crossing is already there, so
we have no Great Wall of
China to get over."
John Harper, Volusia
County Leisure Services
facilities and construction
manager, said he is excited
to get started on the trail.
"It's not good just for the
health of our residents, but
economically, too," Mr.
Harper said.. "People will
travel here just to use this

Steve Bodnaruk, owner of

VOLUSIA COUNTY- Three
years ago, Christian Nero was
a disconnected toddler,
unable to express his emo-
tions and behind in his verbal
skills, his mother, Amanda,
recalls.
Today, though, the 5-year-
old Ormond Beach resident is
"ready to enter a general edu-
cation classroom," the poster
boy for the success of the
Easter Seals Charter School.
Named the Volusia-Flagler
chapter's 2008 Ambassador,
the autistic preschooler is a
success story for the Easter
Seals' first forays into helping
kids with autism.
Last week, the Easter Seals
Volusia Flagler took the next
step in helping kids like
Christian.
With Christian's cut of the
red ribbon, the chapter
opened its Autism Center of
Excellence Dec. 19 to the
cheers of parents of autistic
children and the local leaders
who fought to bring the cen-
ter to fruition.

Keep the airport small

This is in response to the piece written by the pilot who
lives near the New Smyrna Beach Airport. He stated the
necessity of the airport to commerce in the city and
addressed the issue of noise.
I don't know where he lives, but we live on Turnbull Bay and
bought our home when it was just a small airport with very
few planes taking off and landing. Sitting on our dock one
evening, I counted 24 takeoffs in 30 minutes.
But my main concern is not the noise; the Federal Aviation
Administration has approved a plan to lengthen one runway
to accommodate bigger planes. There has already been a
plane crash that killed the pilot next to the sports complex.
Have they thought about what might happen to the chil-
dren if a plane has trouble over that complex?
I was driving down Turnbull Bay Road two weeks ago and a
plane coming in for landing flew right in front of my car. It
couldn't have been more than five or six feet above the top of
my car. It happened again on Sunset Drive with the plane
extremely close to the top of my car.
I understand that if the plan goes through, it involves tak-
ing down some very old beautiful trees, one of which is the
home of a bald eagle. Recently, there was an article in the
paper about a plane having landing problems due to a bald
eagle being hit. There are more issues to consider than noise,
and larger planes will bring more noise and commercial
plusses for New Smyrna Beach.
Yes, if there are regulations about touch and goes after a
certain time, who makes sure they are followed?
The pilot stated maybe some students are not aware of
them. Shouldn't the airport officials see that everyone using
the airport knows about the regulations? Where are they?
The pilot also mentioned many small airports are closing. I
am not in favor of closing anything; I just wish that it could
remain the same unobtrusive facility that it used to be.

Accepting the situation

The ranter in the Dec. 14 edition who complained about
the airplane noise by "wealthy pilots" at New Smyrna Beach
Airport should realize that the airport was there long before
houses were built around it. Most of the flying is training for
students attempting to build a career in a vital part of our
economy; they're hardly "wealthy."
I live within the airport flight patterns and in close proximi-
ty to the Florida East Coast freight train line. The airplane
noise is relatively minor and occurs mostly during the day
and usually not during sleeping hours; the train noise occurs
at all hours. I don't complain about the train though. It was
there before me, and I probably should have thought about it
before relocating, but I choose to adapt to the pre-existing
situation rather than whine and expect the rest of the world
to change.

Resident feeling choked by stinky air

Help. I can't breathe. This Red Tide or seaweed or whatever
it is has made me sick.
I live on beachside in New Smyrna Beach, and if the wind is
blowing off the ocean, I can't walk outside without coughing
and gasping for breath. New Smyrna Beach is too beautiful to
have the beach messed up the way it is and having tourists
avoiding it because they can't find a clean spot on the beach
or can't breathe.
I would think the city could buy a beach-cleaning machine
and a dump truck and hire one person whose job it is to keep
the beach as clean as he/she can:
I know New Smyrna Beach covers several miles, but those
beach cleaners can move rather quickly and could cover the
beach in about a week. The cleaners could dump that stinky,
toxic stuff in a dump truck and take it to a landfill (that is, if it
is not too toxic for the landfill).
After a few weeks, the beach would be a much more enjoy-
able place to visit, the tourists would start returning to the
beach and money would start pouring into the local busi-
nesses.
A couple years ago, I was talking to someone in another
state and mentioned New Smyrna Beach. She said she was
there one time but would not go back again because of the
odor on the beach. I think a lot of people feel that way.
I feel cheated because I love to walk on the beach, but I
have to sit in the house to avoid becoming even sicker. Surely
someone can do something about this situation. I have been
to beaches all over the country, and I have never seen a mess
like this on the beach.
My neighbor just returned home with her three children
(all in masks) and said she had been staying in a hotel
because they couldn't breathe here.

Provider wants full story on red tide

I am a health care provider for a gentleman on the beach-
side in New Smyrna Beach who is on oxygen. I believe the
Volusia County Health Department is not giving complete or
comprehensive information to people who live beachside.
Their instructions are that people with respiratory prob-
lems should not go to the beach. This gentleman does not go


outside. He lives a block away from the beach and keeps his
house sealed up under air all the time. His air-conditioning
filters are changed regularly as a result of his respiratory prob-
lems.
Unfortunately, the various health care professionals who
visit his home are bringing the red tide into his home on their
clothes/bodies, which causes him to go into violent coughing
spells.
The Health Department is not going far enough in its warn-
ings to people about the dangers of this naturally occurring
event. People visiting the homes of at-risk people are placing
those people in great danger.
I would encourage your readers to Google red tide and see
what people are saying around the state and country about
the health risks of red tide, as we are not getting the full story
here.

Park employees looking for easy street

After the Dec. 17 meeting at the New Smyrna Dunes Park, it
looks like the park manager is getting what he wants. He has
spent years claiming that the dogs need to be removed from
the park. He has over inflated claims; he, and his co-workers
do nothing to tackle the problem.
I hate to see him win, but at least we will still be welcomed
at the Ponce Inlet Park. It is a much farther drive, but the $3.50
per car that people pay to take their dogs to the New Smyrna
Dunes Park might be better accepted at the Ponce Inlet Park. I
am certain that with the extra income that park will receive,
they will be able to hire more employees to help.
Since the park will soon stop dogs, I think that it would be a
great time to cut the financial expense of all the employees
who do very little there. I think this would be a good cutback.
If every person who takes their dogs to the New Smyrna
Dunes Park 'suddenly starts driving over to Ponce Inlet,
maybe the city of New Smyrna will understand just how
much money the dog lovers who attend the park spend.
This is nothing more than a group of employees trying to
find a way to make money doing less.

Citizen happy to see city employee go

Have my prayers finally been answered? Edgewater resi-
dents are one step closer to having a decent city without cor-
rupt people trying to run it.
It put a smile on my face to read Jon Williams had been
fired. I don't like to see bad things happen to people, especial-
ly this time of year. However, when I think of past city council
meetings and the immature way Mr. Williams would con-
stantly smirk at people who had legitimate complaints and
concerns, I say he deserved getting fired right before Christ-
mas!
What a shame I was not there to see it happen. It didn't sur-
prise me when I read Mayor Michael Thomas dissented in the
vote and made excuses for Mr. Williams, such as saying, "He
(Mr. Williams) was just trying to save the city money."


A tear-jerking Christmas story

Raymond Calderon, a 26-year-old Marine who was
wounded in Iraq, was facing eviction from his Orlando
apartment. His wife and three young children were in dire
need of help and were looking at a very bleak Christmas to
say the least.
Post 53 Riders from Sanford and Post 270 Riders from
Port Orange visited Mr. Calderon and his family with a
truckload of food, presents and cash.


Certainly Mayor Thomas is sad to see Mr. Williams go. In my
opinion, he, too, is corrupt. I don't understand how he even
became mayor considering how many people complained
about him as a game warden (or whatever his title was).
It's time to get people like these two out of our government
and bring in people with morals who truly want what is best
for the residents of Edgewater, not what's best for their pock-
ets or ego!

Resident embarrassed by his address

What an embarrassment the Edgewater City Council has
proven to be. They let the unions bully them around until
they get what they want.
The firefighters have always stated that they need a certain
level of staffing to maintain good service to the public, yet
when they are told to hire, they stop short of what is needed
so they can keep getting their overtime up to 30 percent
overtime in some cases! They justify this by saying it is actual-
ly cheaper to pay a few people overtime than to hire more
people, train them and pay for salaries and benefits. But if the
real issue is public safety, then youd should want to hire
enough firefighters to staff the operations and cover vaca-
tions. Again, tis never happens because they want to keep
that overtime. They always blame this on the city manager
saying he will not allow them to fill the needed positions, but
in actuality, they don't want them filled.
As for the firing (excuse me, resignation) of the police chief,
yes, his management style was abrasive to some people, but
the real reason he was fired was because he was acting like a
real department head, trying to balance department needs
with available budget. The police weren't getting their 8 per-
cent per year raise as demanded, and they weren't being
allowed to cash in vacation time and sick time in unlimited
amounts, so the unions declared that they had no confidence
in him and pushed to get him fired, too! They wanted him out
of the way so bad that they agreed to pay him one year's salary
just to leave quietly.
Wake up, people. The city manager had a severance pack-
age negotiated in with his contract so they had to pay him;
the police chief did not. If he was really doing such a bad job,
they could have just fired him outright and not paid the extra
$70,500.
Between the city manager and the police chief, the City
Council cost us taxpayers almost $200,000 that the city does
not have to spend. What a joke. Great job being careful how
taxpayer money is spent!
The Teamsters Police Union tells lies about all these police
officers leaving because of pay and the police chief. The truth
is, six officers left recently, but only two left to go to work for
other departments. Of the other four, one left because he had
enough time in to retire and pursue another career, one left
because of health-related problems and the last two resigned
because they were about to be arrested for criminal and

unethical actions performed on and off duty. This does not
sound like the department is "hemorrhaging personnel"
because of pay issues and the police chief to me.
When is the public going to smarten up? After the city files
for bankruptcy? Oh, wait a second, I forgot, the city doesn't
have to do that; they can just raise taxes or add new fire
assessment fees to get the money they need from the poor
people who live here.
About 10 years ago, Oak Hill reportedly had the title of
"The Most Laughed at City Council in Volusia County." I
think the actions of the past few weeks officially take that
title away from Oak Hill, and it can now be given to the vot-
ers and City Council of Edgewater.
I'm embarrassed to say I live in Edgewater!

Happy New Year

Congratulations to Edgewater taxpayers and voters who
elected the new council members who are backed by spe-
cial employee interests.
Now that they are in control, happy new taxes in the new
year.

Daily walker concerned with
inconsiderate drivers

I live in Florida Shores in Edgewater. Is there any way to
get drivers to slow down when passing or approaching a
person in a power wheelchair or scooter?
I walk my dog every morning and use a power chair. If I
can reach out and touch the fender of a passing car, do you
think you may be too close?
I am constantly turning sideways trying to protect my
dogs and myself from cars not slowing down and heading
straight for us. I wear bright clothing and my dog's leash is
bright pink. Does someone have to get hurt before people
realize this is a real problem? I don't want to get hurt I
already am and I certainly don't won't my dogs hurt.
Think of how nice the new coming year would be if people
slowed down, showed some courtesy and were careful. I
hope everyone has a happy and safe NewYear.

In response to 'Son in Iraq, couple
puts Christmas on hold'

Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Burger King ought to be ashamed
for not supporting our troops in Iraq.

Time to be fair

In reference to the article about Sea Bird Island: Is it not
about time we stop relocating folks in mobile and manufac-
tured homes in the name of community redevelopment? We
all know it only benefits a chosen few, and we end up mov-
ing people who can least afford it.
The owners of these parks enticed the folks to buy into
their parks and made a substantial amount of money off of
them over the years. Now that the property values have sky-
rocketed and the rich developers are willing to pay astro-
nomical amounts for this land, the owners are turning their
backs and making an easy buck.
There's no place for these folks to move their units, and
the pittance that they're offered to relocate or abandon their
homes is ridiculous.
Maybe it's time the legislature in this state required these
developers or sellers to figure in a fair market value for these
homes and compensate these people for them.

Resident not happy with city officials
Ms. Martin said, "The city strongly supports the veterans,
but was constrained by a policy decision." I was told in an


English class many years ago that when you use the word
"but" in a sentence, you can disregard anything that was
said up to that word.
I understand the word charities and do not feel that veter-
ans, men and women, who put their lives on hold and on
the line for us, can by any stretch of the imagination be con-
sidered charity cases.
She also said that the "city" made a policy decision not to
fund charities. It appears from the response of the residents
of the city that they do not agree with this policy.
I have to commend Port Orange Professional Firefighters
Local 3118 for coming up with more than 30 percent of the
$2,682 that was requested from the city. The officials of Port
Orange should hang their heads for this decision.

Relinquish control

I think the FDL should control the electricity in Port
Orange. The city doesn't know how to make a budget. They
don't deserve to spend it because they don't have any reality
of where money comes from. That's just my opinion.
Also, why shouldn't the state of Florida allow gambling?
We don't allow God in the schools and our politicians lie.
Why not get into gambling?
I hope the world gets back to the way it used to be. No one
has any respect anymore. It is so sad.

A secret Santa spreads joy

One week before Christmas, on Dec. 18, a special Christ-
mas happened.
I was going into a convenience store to pay for my gas. As I
was entering, I took out a $20 bill to pay for the gas, and I
dropped two $20 bills.
As I paid for gas, Santa came up and gave me back the two
$20 bills. I was dumbfounded and didn't say what I wanted,
and before I came to my senses, he was gone. I tried to catch
up to him, but he was gone.
So, this is the only way I can thank him: Santa in the black
car, Merry Christmas! And I did do a payback that same day.
I remembered reading in Hometown News about a mother
of a soldier serving in Iraq who sent cards and gift certifi-
cates to Burger King on the base.
I bought $20 worth of gift certificates and donated them in
your name (Santa in the black car). May you have the best
year in 2008. You made my day and gave me hope in the
future.

Musings on a rant

I read with interest the letter on separation of church and
state. It is true there is a separation of church and state, but
there is none between belief in a creator and state. If you
believe in a creator, you can't part that creator from your life.
Also, it couldn't hurt.
Lastly, we still can believe in Santa because he lives in all
our hearts as the real spirit of Christmas. In a sense, that
spirit is truly the spirit of the creator. If that is true, then that
same spirit can attend any and all meetings.
May that same "spirit" live in our lives this whole year of
2008.

Mother is thankful

My son's letter about his Little Tykes Table got through to
someone and it has come home. Something like this at this
time of year really restores our faith in the human race in
general. Thank you to whoever returned it.
Jesse's mom.
Thank you for bringing back my table. I love you. I was
really afraid it wouldn't be here for Christmas cookies for
Santa. My car was still in the drawer. I love my table, and I
am very happy it is home with me now. My mom said it will
live in the house and not outside so it won't get lost again.
Merry Christmas. I hope Santa brings you your own table so
you won't take my table again.
Jesse.

From page A3


a month, the county will
limit dogs to a natural area
adjacent to the boardwalk
after an increasing number
of incidents between
joggers and dogs on the
boardwalk.
The park, on the north
end of New Smyrna Beach,
is a beautiful and natural
area along the oceanfront
that is a draw to folks who
walk, run and bring their
pets to the park. The county
has announced plans to
keep dogs off the boardwalk
because of several incidents
the last few years of dogs
charging people.
County leaders say they
have a growing liability that
forces them to act. They will
implement a pilot program
that keeps dogs off the
boardwalk and on a sandy
path behind it.
A group of activists
suggested alternatives to a
boardwalk ban, but county
leaders say the risks are too
great and are committed to
a six-month pilot program
that could become perma-
nent. County officials say
they have nine reported
incidents of dogs biting
people and they say staff is
busy every day cleaning up
after the animals. There will
be signage for dog owners
directing them to the sandy
path.
A Port Orange family got
an unpleasant surprise
Christmas morning when a
6-year-old opened a Disney
CD and instead got rap
music with unDisney-like
lyrics. Jay Scott says he was
stunned by the mix-up and
disturbed that his 6- and
12- year-old daughters
heard what he calls foul
music. The girl's grand-
mother got the free CD at a
Daytona Beach Toys R Us as
a promotional holiday
giveaway. It was labeled the
family friendly Disney
Channel Hits Remix and
was to include Hannah
Montana but instead
featured the group The
Diplomats, who typically
come with a parental
advisory.
Disney Records didn't
return our phone calls
however the Toys R Us store
has removed the CD from
store shelves because of the
music mixup.
City leaders in Port
Orange break ground on


two new fire stations this
year. A new facility is going
up on Central Park Blvd that
officials say will improve
response time in the area.
The second station on Town
West Blvd. replaces a
temporary station at Crane
Lakes. Both fire stations will
be up-and-running in the
fall of 2008.
Daytona Beach police
were called to a home on
George Engramm Blvd.
recently to do a well-being
check on a man in his 60's
living there alone.
Firefighters made a
forced entry and found at
least 15 cats inside and the
home in a deplorable
condition. There was
animal feces and urine all
over the house but no sign
of the resident, identified as
Jerrett Teel. Police later
learned Mr. Teel was in the
hospital and will work with
the department's victim
advocate to see what help
Mr. Teel may need.
Meanwhile, animal
control officers took
custody of the cats and the
building has been marked
unsafe with no trespassing
signs posted. It's unclear
where Mr. Teel will live once
he is released from the
hospital.
South Daytona police are
investigating two similar
cases of fraud and may be
looking at one suspect.
Within a week, suspects
placed orders for pizza and
both times paid for them
with counterfeit $100 bills.
In the first instance, police
say a caller ordered a pizza
to be delivered at an
apartment complex on
South Palmetto Avenue. The
suspect met the delivery
person in the parking lot
and paid for the pizza with
the counterfeit money, and
accepted the change.
Five days later, a caller
ordered a pizza at the same
complex but this time using
a specific apartment
number. The delivery
person knocked and when
no one answered started to
leave. That's when the
suspect came out of a
different apartment and
paid for the pizza, taking
cash as his change. The
pizza delivery people gave
similar descriptions in both
cases, but so far the suspect
hasn't been located.

you use it

TRAVEL



From urban sprawl to pristine mountains, Peru is a joy


T he taxi ride from
Lima, Peru's airport
to a nearby suburb
was virtually a heart-stop-
ping experience.
I'd landed in an urban
jungle with its own set of
rules.
With no central public
transportation, taxis rule
in this city of more than
nine million people and
for those who are on the
far side of 30, the ride is
reminiscent of an E-ticket
at Disneyland.
Traffic lights, stop signs
and speed limits were
treated as mere sugges-
tions by our driver as he
flew through streets
narrowly missing pedestri-
ans and vehicles.
Gridlock is common and
patience isn't a virtue with
horns blaring constantly
as drivers jockey for
position.
Pedestrians beware -
you don't have the right-
of-way. Nevertheless,
walking around the
seaside suburb of Miraflo-
res proved to be a great
way to experience the
culture and sights.
Be prepared for taxi
drivers honking if you
walk alone. Certain that
you would rather ride than
walk, the drivers will take
every opportunity to
remind you of their
presence.
I was immediately
struck by small carts piled
high with fruit and snacks
located on almost every
street corner. This was
Lima's version of our
vending machines.
Fresh fruits play a large
part in Peru's cuisine.


Besides bananas, oranges
and pineapples, you'll find
mangos, passion fruit and
more exotic choices such
as a cherimoya, which
resembles a squashed pine
cone. The sweet pulp is
incorporated into wonder-
fully refreshing desserts.
The cuisine of Lima is
varied and delicious.
Traditional native dishes
include Ceviche (raw fish
marinated in a juice) and
fresh fish to more hearty
Andean dishes such as
stew, potatoes and Cuy
(guinea pig).
Although I passed on
sampling Cuy, I tried the
immensely popular Inca
Cola. This national soft
drink is yellow, fizzy and
tasted a bit like Bazooka
bubble gum from my
childhood.
My plan to bring some
back for my co-workers
was thwarted when the
bottles were confiscated at
the airport due to a ban on
liquids.
Dried and salted fava
beans, called Habas, are a
popular snack. Cancha, a
toasted corn snack, that
resembles corn nuts in
appearance only, is often
offered as an appetizer.
Aji, a potent hot pepper,
spices many dishes and
sauces.
Due to a favorable
exchange rate of more
than three nuevo sols to
the dollar, dining is a
bargain with entrees at
many upscale restaurants
priced at what we would
consider coffee-shop
prices under $10. How-
ever, liquor and dessert
more closely approach


JEANNE WILLARD
Staff Writer


American prices.
Cafes and Internet-
access shops line the
streets and dollars and
credit cards are accepted
at most restaurants and
stores. Taxis and street
vendors require local
currency and a basic
command of Spanish is
helpful.
First-time visitors may
be startled to find that
toilet paper is not flushed,
but rather placed in
separate containers next
to toilets. I was told this is
typical of plumbing
systems throughout South
America which cannot
adequately handle waste
paper. In addition, it's wise


to carry a small roll of
paper because some
establishments don't
provide any.
Lima's Parque del Amor
(Park of Love) overlooks
the ocean and features a
huge sculpture of a kissing
couple lying on a bench.
Benches are decorated
with broken pieces of tile
and spell out romantic
phrases.
Ironically, next to this
lover's park is a bridge
where barriers were
erected along the span due
to the high number of
suicide jumpers.
Cusco, considered the
heart of the Inca Empire, is
an hour's flight from Lima
and the flight afforded
spectacular views of the
Andean mountain range.
The ancient city is
located at 11,500 feet
above sea level and
requires precautions to
avoid soroche or altitude
sickness. I sipped mate de
coca, a tea made of coca
leaves to alleviate symp-
toms. Do not attempt to
bring the tea back with
you, though, it's illegal in
the U.S.
This would be a good
place to try regional dishes


such as guinea pig, alpaca,
potatoes and a fermented
corn beer called chichi,
but continental cuisine
and pizza are readily
available.
People are warm and
friendly, but you will be
approached frequently by
locals many children -
selling crafts or snacks. A


firm "no gracias" deters all
but the most persistent.
Traditional Andean
clothing is still worn by
many. Simple homes,
some little more than
shelters, are perched on
crowded hillsides, coexist-
ing with modern restau-

I hope you and your
family had a wonderful
Christmas holiday and
New Year.
Now that the holidays
are over, many of us will
have an abundance of
holiday plants to nurture
for an entire year so we
can enjoy them again next
year.
One of the most popular
gifts of the holiday season
is amaryllis bulbs.
These bulbs are relative-
ly easy to take of. If you
give them adequate water
and bright light, they
should bloom in about six
weeks.
The best way to water is
to keep the plants evenly
moist. Do not water so
much that the plants are
sitting in standing water.
Keep the plants on a
windowsill or on a protect-
ed porch for the best
results. If your bulbs are
too small in size, you may
have to wait till next year
before you get blooms to
form.
If you received a Norfolk


pine as a gift, or bought
one for yourself, you can
successfully grow it
indoors. As a matter of fact
I recommend that you
either grow it indoors or
plant it in a container. I do
not recommend planting
outdoors. The tree does
not fare well in hurricane-
force winds and grow
extremely large. With that
said, Norfolk pines will do
extremely well in an
indoor environment as
long as there is ample
light. Position your plant
near a windowsill where it
will receive a bit of sun
daily.
These plants will do best
if they are watered on a
regular schedule. Keep the
plants evenly moist, but
not dripping wet. Do not
allow the plants to sit in
standing water.
Norfolk pines also enjoy
a humid environment, so
if the plant is indoors, you
may find it beneficial to
lightly mist it from time to
time to help increase the
humidity. Improper


after the season is over.
First, choose a location
that is sheltered away from
strong winds and the full
direct rays of the summer
sun. Also, choose an area
where you can control the
artificial light at night so
you can get your plants to
bloom next season with
minimal effort.
Use a good quality
potting mix to place your
plants in the ground and
be sure it is a well-drained
location. It might be wise
to repot your plant in a
large pot until all danger
of frost and cold weather
has past. March would be
a great transition month to
place your prize in the
ground.
Once the plant is plant-
ed and established, be
sure to trim off all the old
red bracts. You will need to
do this in order to get
blooms next season.
Now comes the tricky
part. Starting around
November or sooner, the
plant is going to need long
nights in order to re-


them again next year.


bloom. During this two-
month period, you will
need to eliminate as much
artificial lighting at night.
Keep the area as dark as
possible. This is the key to
getting new blooms for the
holidays.
One of the biggest
problems you might
encounter with a poinset-
tia plant is root rot.
Oftentimes you will see
poinsettia plants wilting,
as if they were not watered
in days. You go to check
the soil and it is still moist.
So why is the plant wilt-
ing? Actually, the poinset-
tia most likely has a root
fungus or disease that is
preventing the plant from
taking on water. That
explains the wilted condi-
tion. This is usually caused
from the plant being in


Adams, Cameron & Co. and
Plan B Cycling win award

Adams, Cameron & Co. Realtors and Plan
B Cycling of Port Orange were presented
with the Rookie of the Year award from the
Multiple Sclerosis Society for their work on


soil that is overly moist.
This condition will almost
always lead to a dead
plant.
In addition, you must
also keep watchful eye out
for whiteflies. Treat them
at the very first indication
with Orthenex.
With a little luck and
some skill, you should be
rewarded with some great
holiday color in your
garden next season.

Costa introduces


special 'Samsara Spa'


accommodations


Spas are not just for the
seemingly spoiled
anymore.
The origin of the word spa
has been debated over the
centuries, but what we
know is that it dates back to
the Roman era where
soldiers returning from
wars, would take to rejuve-
nation, relaxation and
treatment of wounds
through water.
Some say it is an acronym
for the Latin phrase sanitus
per aqua (health through
water). Others believe it
originated in the Belgium
town of Spa, which rose to
fame in the 14th century
when a thermal spring was
discovered there.
Either way, the ancient
spa has evolved to be an
umbrella term describing
places and experiences that
people would seek for
renewal of body, mind and
spirit.
The new spa offers
ancient therapies from all
over the world in wellness
and preventive treatments,
as well as beauty enhance-
ments.
Spas are offered by
category: medical, detox,
weight-loss, organic, day,
golf, boutique, destination,
romantic, vegetarian,
single, couples, etc. These
range from luxury to
affordable. There is some-
thing for everyone and
every ailment. Whatever
your interest, there will
probably be a spa some-
where in the world that
caters to it.
Although just about all
cruise lines offer spa
services aboard (some are
more luxurious than
others), Costa Cruises'
newest vessels, the Costa
Concordia and Costa
Serena, offer a new style of
cruising with the ultra
luxury Samsara Spa that
features exclusive accom-
modations that provide
guests with a complete
wellness getaway. The
staterooms, although no
larger than their counter-
parts, offer Samsara Spa.
products and a flat- screen
TV.
Costa's guests who sail in
spa accommodations will
enjoy unlimited access to
spa accommodations, a
personalized wellness
consultation, tea ceremony
in the Samara Spa, two
complimentary treatments,
two complimentary fitness
or meditation classes, two
sun tanning sessions in the
solarium, and complimen-
tary access to the Ris-
torante Samsara, exclusive-
ly reserved for guests with
Samsara accommodations.
This is a very different
experience from conven-
tional cruising.
The Costa Concordia
(2006) and the Costa Serena
(2007) are sister vessels
weighing in at 112,000 tons
and have a capacity of 3,000
passengers each. They sail


PATTY TOPPA
Travel columnist


year round on Eastern and
Western Mediterranean
itineraries that include
ports-of-call in Italy,
Greece, Turkey and Croatia.
As with most cruises,
Costa has something for
everyone. With the intro-
duction of the Samsara Spa
experience, it has brought
yet another level to cruising.
Those who book one of the
55 Samsara cabins or 12
Samsara suites with direct
access to the two-deck
facility receive a "Welcome
Ritual" package which
includes an invitation to a
relaxing tea ceremony, a
personalized consultation, a
choice of two spa, two
fitness or meditation
lessons, two tanning
sessions, unlimited use of
in-spa perks, such as the
thalassotherapy pool, and a
reserved table in the
Samsara Restaurant.
The vessels also sport
single staterooms (12 inside
only) for solo travelers,
something that is very much
needed in the cruise
industry. There are very few
(if any) single staterooms on
most cruise ships. Many
times, travelers who want to
travel alone have to pay 200
percent of the stateroom
cost. This will certainly be a
welcomed change.
Costa Cruises began as a
freight line that introduced
its first North American
cruise ship, the Costa
Riviera, in 1985. This
launched the "Cruising
Italian Style" theme. The
line became a fully owned
subsidiary of Carnival in
2000. The cruise line has a
very European flare to both
its d6cor and cuisine. Art
and architecture are an
important part of the Costa
experience, and all ships
feature millions in original
artwork and handcrafted
furnishings. The itineraries
are generally port intensive
and few at sea days.
Costa is celebrating its
60th anniversary this-year
and is offering 40 to 55
percent off Europe sailings
on these vessels for a
limited time. Reserve early
for best rates and availabili-
ty.

injection of stem cells intra-
venously and through a lum-
bar puncture, requiring a
three-week hospital stay, Ms.
Wolfe said.
The treatment costs
$30,000, with additional
expenses including travel,
lodging and oxygen treat-
ments bringing the total to
$75,000.
Dr. Maxwell contacted the
program's coordinator asking
for research studies to sup-
port the claims, but has not
received any documentation.
She said patients should be
wary.
"It is not based on any
sound medical basis," she
said. "There is no research to
prove this works."
There also are risks associ-
ated with the procedure, she
said.


Ms. Wolfe, who has spo-
ken to families of children
who underwent the treat-
ment, believes otherwise and
has her family's support, she
said.
"We are so confident it's
nothing that can hurt him,"
she said. "Even if it improves
his vision even a little, it will
be worth it."
Ms. Wolfe acknowledges
the naysayers, but said as a
parent, she is driven to do
everything she can.
Family and friends have
raised more than $40,000 to
date.
"We are hoping for a mira-
cle," Ms. Wolfe said.

rants and shops in the

Peru is a traditionally
Catholic country, but over
the years, traditions have
incorporated indigenous
beliefs that are evident in
festivals and art.
A painting of the last
supper by Marcos Zapata
located in a baroque
cathedral shows guinea
pig as the main dish.
Quality hand-crafted
silver jewelry and fine
alpaca products are a


shoppers dream.
Many first-time visitors
to Peru put Machu Picchu
on the must-see list. The
three-hour train ride from
Cusco to reach the
ancient ruins passes
through spectacular
scenery, but the train
stopped and rolled
backwards as it changed
tracks.
The 15th century Inca
ruins, not discovered
until 1911 are magical
and breathtaking.


The Inca's built
structures of finely fitted
stones and boulders on
steep mountainsides
without the invention of a
wheel and they left no
written records to solve
the mystery of how this
was accomplished.
Standing atop the ruins
surrounded by breathtak-
ing vistas with the
Urubamba River a mere
ribbon far below, I could
only reflect on our place
in the universe.


From urban sprawl to
pristine mountains, from
modern professionals to
village dwellers, Peru is a
fascinating paradox
between ancient and
modern culture, rich and
poor, young and old. It is
well worth the visit.

Actor shares


comedic views


on life in N.Y

Italian mother, Jewish father
send him to therapy, comic says
FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

ctor/comedian Steve Solomon returns to the
News-Journal Center in Daytona Beach with
Sis one-man comedy show, "My Mother's Ital-
ian, My Father's Jewish, and I'm In Therapy."
Mr. Solomon will entertain residents during two per-
formances at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 5'" -`-
He will take audiences on a fresh look at his life grow-
ing up in an Italian/Jewish family from Brooklyn and
how it drove him to therapy.
Last September, the show played three performances,
drawing standing ovations from near-capacity audi-
ences before moving to New York City's Little Shubert
Theater where it was originally slated to play through
January but has since been extended on an indefinite
open-end engagement.
The show has toured more than 50 cities in the U.S.,
Canada and Bermuda, playing to sold-out houses and
return engagements.
Anxious to tour again, Steve auditioned and person-
ally selected a comic actor to assume his role, at the
Shubert and moved the show to San Francisco for a
multi-week engagement. He is now touring once again.
Daytona Beach audiences will have another chance
to meet the family: mom, dad, grandma Angelina,
grandpa Harry, Uncle Vito, macho Carmine and all the
friends and relatives in between whose sole purpose
seems to be to drive Steve into therapy.
Reserved seat tickets cost $35 and $28 (plus $2 box
office service charge) and are on sale at the News-Journal
Center box office.Tickets can be ordered by calling the
box office at (386) 252-6200.

Week of 01-04-2008
Aries-March 21-April 19
Much change is happening around you now.
Your job is to stay calm when the storms hit.
Your courage and decision- making powers
increase, and you experience overall good
results when you follow this plan. Refuse to get
sidetracked on whimsical ideas. You are a mas-
ter at handling life's challenges.
Taurus-April 20-May 20
Your spirit is stronger than ever. Your heart pre-
vails. You have so many new ideas inside that
want to be released and become fruitful. It all
comes down to priorities and action. Stay true to
yourself, but listen to trusted advisors who have
your best interests at heart as well, and you will
always head in the right direction.
Gemini-May 21-June 21
It's tinie to take your life to the next level. Begin
the New Year with positive expectations for your
major dreams and goals. Just be sure your heart is
in them before you begin starting any project. The
heart is what helps see things through to comple-
tion. Also, keep a lighter touch. Are you having
any fun in life?

ater in New York. Mr. Solomon will entertain residents
with his one-man comedy show for two performances
at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 5, at the News-
Journal Center in Daytona Beach. Tickets cost $35 and
$28 and can be ordered by calling the box office at
(386) 252-6200.


Cancer-June 22-July 22
Attention to details continues to bring positive
results. Sometimes it is a challenge to find motiva-
tion and change while taking care of the small stuff.
You can do it. The whole idea is to pace yourself
and trust your instincts. You have so many worth-
while goals. You will be tested. You are up for it.
You will emerge victorious again.
Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Your very truest nature is to listen to, act on and fol-
low through on your first impressions. You are born
of fire and vision. When you feel the passion in
your soul firing up, you are irrepressible. Whenever
you feel yourself slowing down it is because you
are moving sideways instead of forward. Stay on
track and this year will be among of your best ever.
Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The moon in Virgo gives you an emotional edge
this week. There isn't much holding you back these
days. Saturn in retrograde just makes you more
selective on where you place your energy. Begin to
make new plans for the next three months. By
spring you will be moving forward at a steady clip.
Libra-Sept. 23-Oct. 22
When you are rested and feeling good your life
works so much better. You are always doing good
for others. Make it a promise that this year you will
practice balance in your own life as well. There is
no reason to burn out now. Take care of yourself
and the universe will continue to reward you with
so many new opportunities.
Scorpio-Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Venus in Scorpio gives you an emotional edge.
Scorpios have a strong will. But your heart tells you
the truth more than the head. Save yourself a lot of
time and wasted energy by letting go and going

with this flow of inner light and truth without trying
to figure things out., Let your passion guide you.
Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Say this out loud each day upon awakening: "Mine
is a great life. I begin each new day thankful to be
alive and I rejoice in the endless possibilities. I will
make the most of my day. When I stop my labor I
will make time for pleasure, joy and sharing my
good with those I love. I have the courage to face
tomorrow with more of the same. I give thanks for
all these great blessings."
Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
You are truly amazing. You have a reservoir of ener-
gy and skills that never runs dry. Why? Because you
never quit trying. You are a winner. You always get
the job done. This is why the universe chose youto
start the New Year off right. You are an inspiration
for all of us. You are the greatest teacher of the old-
fashioned time honored values.
Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Your strong efforts in life continue to bring positive
results. The New Year will bring more of the same.
Your time is becoming more valuable. You are a
true pioneer who reaches out and does things
most others only dream about. Your values are
strong. Your vision is clear. You know what you
want. Now all that is left is to take action.
Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Rise up each morning from your slumber and con-
tinue to transform yourself into the beautiful, free
spirited soul that you were born to be. You are
unique in all of creation. Remove anything from
your life that would diminish this awesome inner
beauty. You are so close to your purpose and pas-
sion. Go for it now and the new year will bring you
life's richest blessings ever.

Collectors fight
for Cuban art's
place in history
BY STEPHANIE DIXON
Entertainment writer
Roberto Ramos has a pas-
sion that takes unshakable
courage and an amount of
money that can buy the
finer things in life. It's also a
passion 20 years in the mak-
ing that will come to fruition
at the Museum of Arts & Sci-
ences in Daytona Beach.
The exhibition "Great
Masters of Cuban Art, 1800
to 1958," on display through
April 27, features more than
90 paintings from the pri-
vate collection of brothers
Roberto and Carlos Ramos


of Miami.
Among the Cuban artists
to be featured are Silvia Fer-
nandez Arrojo and Oscar
Garcia-Rivera, whose works
have been showcased in the
Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, D.C.
Mr. Garcia-Rivera's works
are comparable to a Nor-
man Rockwell style of cap-
turing the everyday life of
subjects.
The music, cigars, rum,
dancing and coffee that
Americans and Europeans
came to love have been for-
ever sealed in history
through art, Roberto Ramos
said.
"It is a bygone era. Fidel
Castro erased history and
changed the words, but the
paintings tell a story," Mr.
Ramos, speaking in Spanish,


said through interpreter
Zeida Sardinas, chief curator
of the Ramos Collection.
The Havana-born broth-
ers' passion started from
scratch, literally, and their
story intertwines with the
tumultuous history of Cuba.
With tears in his eyes,
Roberto Ramos recalled
that, after a friend gave his
family a Carlos Sobrino
painting, he discovered that
the histories of numerous
Cuban painters had been
obliterated.
"These painters had noto-
riety and were professional,"
he said. "But they disap-
peared like they never exist-
ed."
Because some painters,
including Mr. Sobrino,
refused to paint the Cuban
revolution, Fidel Castro
ordered their paintings to
be destroyed and all records
of them deleted. They were
essentially wiped out of
Cuban art history.
"Fidel's policy had noth-
ing to with art, but who
stuck with him in the revo-
lution," he said.
However; Mr. Ramos has
learned through years of
research that Cuba had
decades of glory prior to the
revolution.
"The information (histo-
ry) was not readily available
and they sought for it," said
interpreter, Zeida Sardinas.
Mr. Ramos learned that
during the 1920s and '30s,


Beverly Alvarez-Daly/staff photographer.
Roberto Ramos, a collector out of Miami, and his wife, Yeni, discuss 'La evolucion de la
conga' (The Evolution of the Conga) by Oscar Garcia-Rivera, which is part of the exhibi-
tion "Great Masters of Cuban Art, 1800 to 1958." More than 90 paintings from the private
collection of brothers Roberto and Carlos Ramos will be on display through April 27 at
the Museum of Arts & Sciences at 352 S. Nova Road in Daytona Beach. For more infor-
mation, call (386) 255-0285 or visit the Web site at www.moas.org.


the island had gained atten-
tion among Americans and
Europeans as a choice vaca-
tion spot.
"In school, we were
always taught that the
Republican past was a dis-
aster, that life in Cuba
before Castro had hunger
and illiteracy. They taught a
new history in school," Mr.
Ramos said through Ms.
Sardinas. "I learned that it
was a lie, that Cuba had a
glorious past. And I feel
lucky and blessed that I can
show people that."
It has taken 20 years for
the Ramos brothers to gath-


er the collection they have
today, traveling to auctions
in France, Spain, Italy and
New York to buy Cuban art-
work that was painted
before Fidel Castro's reign.
Ms. Sardinas said Mr.
Ramos has worked hard and
long to recover the paint-
ings, and some have taken
years to restore. But now, he
is reaping his reward, she
said.
"The big pleasure is now;
the collection is ready," he.
said. "I feel proud and privi-
leged to restore the artists'
work and put them back
into history, which was


taken from them for politi-
cal reasons. They will get the
attention they deserve."
And the Ramos brothers
have a courageous story of
their own. After the opening ,
of their collection is publi-
cized, they will not return to
Cuba until the government ,
changes for fear of persecu-
tion.
"I have dedicated 20 years,-
of my life to this collection,"
Mr. Ramos said. "It is not,
about the money or making
an investment; it has
become my passion, my life.
Years ago, no one cared
about these artists."

Hello, smart shoppers.
Happy 2008. Another
year, another chance
to shop smart, save money
and pay attention to your
health by cutting the bad fat
and cholesterol in your diet.
Experts say breakfast is the
most important meal of the
day.
However, many of us eat it
on the run. I have created my
Super Shake for just that
purpose, and my oatmeal
recipe only takes a few
minutes to prepare.
At this time of the year,
hearty soups equal comfort
food, and roasted garlic is a
recipe you must have.
Enjoy. See you next week.

SUPER SHAKE
I serving NIB

It's often impossible to eat
five fruits and vegetables a
day Try my Super Shake to get
everyone's day off to a great
start.
Purchase frozen strawber-


ries and blueberries (no sugar
added).
Peel and cut up ripe
bananas and freeze. By using
frozen fruits, no ice is needed.
I use soy milk, you can use 1
percent or skim milk. My
preference is Silk brand soy
milk, which can be found in
the dairy case. It comes in
sugar-free plain (my choice),
plain, vanilla and chocolate.
The sugar-free plain tastes
exactly like real milk, you
know, the kind we used to
drink before we heard about
fat and cholesterol.
Create your own; any fruits
can be used. Add 1 table-
spoon ground flaxseed for
extra fiber and 1/4 cup egg
substitute for protein.
Note: Eating raw eggs is a
no-no. However, egg substi-
tute has been pasteurized and
is safe to use.

JUMP-START
OATMEAL
Serves one (NIB)
Oatmeal helps lower
cholesterol and adds fiber to
your diet.
Fruit is a necessary food.
Studies show that cinnamon
possibly helps control blood
sugar. Milk, 1 percent or
skim, adds calcium and
vitamin D.
What better way to start
your day?

1/2 cup old-fashioned
oatmeal*
1 cup milk or plain,
unsweetened soy milk
Choice of one: peeled
nectarine, peach, plum,
pear, apricot, small apple,
or any kind of fruit cut in
small chunks leave skin on
1/2 teaspoon ground
cinnamon
Brown sugar or brown
sugar substitute
Fat-free half and half

Place the first four ingredi-
ents in a large microwave-safe
container or follow package
instructions for stovetop
cooking. Microwave on high
for 5 minutes, stirring halfway
through.
Serve with a sprinkling of
brown sugar and pass the half
and half.
Old-fashioned oatmeal
contains more nutrients than


quick-cooking.
ITALIAN SPLIT-PEA
SOUP
Remember: Never use a
pressure cooker for split pea
soup.
1 (14 or 16 ounce) package,
dried green split peas
1 large carrot, cut up

1 large onion, cut up

1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1 ham bone trimmed of all

5 or more cups water
Ham hocks can be used,
but the fat content is huge.
Rinse peas in cold water,
picking out any that float.
Place all ingredients in a large
pot. Cook covered over low
heat. Stir occasionally, add
more water if necessary. Cook
for about 2 hours or until peas
literally melt. Taste; add salt if
needed.

YOUTHACIVrIES & SPORTS


Beverly Alvarez-Daly/staff photographer
South Daytona resident Lill Hughes, a member of a seniors league of pool players, play eight ball at Uncle Waldo's Bil-
liards in Daytona Beach.


Seniors celebrate 20 years


of billiards competition


BY ANITA BEVINS
Sports writer
For 65-yar-old Robert
Wilson, the senior pool
league at Uncle Waldo's Bil-
liard's has "truly been a
godsend to me."
"If you are going to
retire," Wilson said, "you
have to have a hobby."
So Wilson and a room
full of retired billiards play-
ers gather twice a week to
shoot at the Daytona
Beach billiards hall.
It's not a pool room, like
you might remember from
the 1950s. There are no
leather-clad pool sharks
drawing from a long neck
bottle and staking out the
easy marks.
"This is a, nice *place,'l
said Lill Hughes of South
Daytona. "There is no
smoking, no heavy drink-
ing and there are a lot of
nice people."


Hughes joined the league
a scant nine months ago.
Some of the members have
been been playing together
for 20 years. But Hughes
isn't exactly a newcomer to
the sport she has about
20 years experience under
her belt.
"I just moved down here
(from Columbus, Ohio),"
Hughes said. "I am the
only woman most of the
time, but it is great. When I
started, I was sitting in an
American Legion. We
wives were watching our
husbands play, and we got
bored. The husbands
helped us out; they gave us
pointers. When I started
coming here to shoot pool,
the guys in the senior
league began helping me.
They would say, 'Hey, Lill,
you need to do this.'"
Many of the players who
participate in the 8-ball
senior league also play in


"This is a nice place. There is no smoking, no
heavy drinking and there are a lot of nice peo-
ple... I am the only woman most of the time,
but it is great"

other leagues. Wilson
plays in a 9-ball league on
Sundays.
"I'm new to the game,"
Wilson said. "But it does
keep you busy, and it is
quite enjoyable."
And he is learning some
new skills.
"I played in the Navy.

Kelly Calkin, last year's winner of the Sally South Atlantic
Amateur Golf Tournament, will defend her title at this
year's event at Oceanside Country Club in Ormond Beach.

Local golfers to vie

for tourney honors


BY ANITA BEVINS
Sports writer
When the 82nd annual
Sally South Atlantic Ama-
teur Golf Tournament tees
off at Oceanside Country
Club in Ormond Beach
Wednesday, at least 100
women from Volusia Coun-
ty to Scotland are expected
on the course.
"It is mostly young
women college players
and high school phenoms,"
tournament co-chair Paul
Dock said. "This is an ama-
teur circuit which leads to
the next level, which is the
LPGA.
Meghan Hughes, a former
New Smyrna Beach high
school player and current
Daytona Beach Community
College golf team member
is among those registered to
play. DBCC's Kristen
Boetcher of Palm Coast had
hoped to play, but has with-
drawn due to injury.
Embry-Riddle player Tara
Allen will return to the field.
Last year, she recorded a
hole-in-one during the
tourney and placed 30th


with a four-day score of 356.
Ormond Beach residents
Luneta Ah Sam, Sally Akins,
Jan Demarco, Meaghan
Gulliksen and Rachel
Williams are entered in the
tournament, along with
Joanie Roberts of Holly Hill.
Dock said that most other
players entered in the field
hold local, state and nation-
al amateur titles.
"Sixteen international
players are also entered in
this year's Sally Tourna-
ment, which provides
points for playing Interna-
tional Curtis Cup competi-
tion," Dock said. "The field
not only includes seasoned
veterans, but tomorrow's
stars are entered, as 19
teenagers will challenge
this championship field."
Registration and pre-
tournament events begin
Monday. Players will com-
plete two 36-hole qualifying
rounds Wednesday and
Thursday to determine
flights. Eighteen-hole
rounds are slated for Friday
and Saturday. Spectators
are admitted free to all
rounds.

Buying a home?

Homel~f~j Buer ^fro rec' sotgoigRa saeCmay


^G^ls ood newuyers from Americas #1 fastest growing Real Estate Company!
Earn big dollars when you buy your home through our new,
Help-U14elP SmartBuym Buyer Program!

How the program works:
Traditional Real Estate Offices list properties for sale and negotiate a set % of the sales price as their commission.
At the close of escrow, the commission is divided between the listing office and the selling office.


The innovative Help-U-Sell SmartBuye Buyer's Program offers buyers an opportunity to save thousands of dollars when partnering
with Help-U-SelP real estate agents to purchase a home listed on the MLS.

When a certified Help-U-Sell SmartBuySM agent helps you find your next home, at least 20% of the commission normally paid to
the buyers agent (see below) will be paid or credited to YOU, the Smart Buyer*

The following examples show how much money you could save and use toward your closing costs, or put In your pocket for nw
furnishings, paint, carpet, or whatever you choose
