Oregon research facility


to expand in Tradition


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE -
Almost immediately after
Mann Research Center
had completed plans for a
22-acre life sciences com-
plex in Tradition, the Ore-
gon Health and Science
University announced its
intention to build a
130,000-square-foot facil-
ity at Tradition.
The facility is expected
to hire 200 workers over
the next decade and will
receive over $100 million
in incentives between the
city, county and state gov-
ernments.
The announcement was
made by Sen. Ken Pruitt at
an invitation-only lunch-


eon in Tradition on Jan. 8,
attended by city and
county leaders, Economic
Development Council
president Larry Pelton
and representatives of
Florida Atlantic Universi-
ty, Indian River Commu-
nity College and the Uni-
versity of Florida.
The OHSU's Vaccine and
Gene Therapy Institute is
the only health and
research university and
the only academic med-
ical center in the state of
Oregon and is the largest
employer in the city of
Portland, according to Dr.
Daniel Dorsa, vice-presi-
dent of research for
OHSU.
"Research is the core
mission of OHSU," said


Dr. Dorsa. "In 2007, our
external funding for
research totaled $307 mil-
lion. We also carried out
about $35 million in
industry- sponsored
research, and the majority
of this is related to clinical
trials."
Clinical trials are
expected to be the focus
of research when OHSU
begins its work at Tradi-
tion.
Initially, OHSU will
occupy one floor of the
Torrey Pines building,
expected to be completed
in October.
"We are recruiting a
director that will be on-
site and live here," said

First principal of


lab school named

Debra Snyder will leave post
at F.K. Sweet Magnet Elementary


BY RITA HART'
Staff writer
ST. LUCIE COUNTY -
The formal name of the
St. Lucie County School
District and Florida
Atlantic University's char-
ter laboratory school has
yet to be decided, but the
name of the person at the
helm of the unique school
is no longer in question.
Debra Snyder, 50, was
named on Jan. 4 as the
"instructional leader" of
the new school, the first
of its kind in Florida. The
school is expected to
open its doors to students
from all over St. Lucie
County in the fall.
"I am so honored to
have this opportunity,"
said Ms. Snyder. "I told
my staff that it's so very
bittersweet. I feel like I'm


leaving a home and my
family and friends, but on
the other hand, to be cho-
sen for a school that is
going to be unique is such
an honor."
Currently the principal
of Frances K. Sweet Mag-
net Elementary School in
Fort Pierce, Ms. Snyder
expects to make the tran-
sition on Jan. 14.
At that time, Floresta
Elementary principal
Juanita Wright will take
Ms. Snyder's place as
principal of EK. Sweet
and Floresta's assistant
principal,Charles Mar-
tignetti, will serve as act-
ing principal at Floresta.
Ms. Snyder brings with
her 13 years of experience
as a teacher and 16 as an
administrator.

International baccalaureate


program coming to PSLHS

Parents and students can begin application process
starting on Jan. 17 at the school


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE Port
St. Lucie parents and stu-
dents hungry for a high
quality education have
one more option to con-
sider, thanks to Port St.
Lucie High School's new
International Baccalaure-
ate Diploma Program.
"This is a huge privilege
to be able to offer this
program to our students,"
said Terry Davis, principal
of PSLHS. "Previously,
Lincoln Park Academy
was the only school in the
district to offer it."
Applying to become an
accredited IB school was a
two-year, two-step
process; the first stage
was an exploration year
and the second involved
application.


Mr. Davis said during
this two-year period,
teachers learned how to
write a curriculum, teach
the advanced courses,
traveled to training sites
and learned how to work
through the external
process of sending mate-
rials off to be graded by
IB.
In addition, IB officials
made a site visit to the
school in October, meet-
ing with administrators
and teachers.
"It was pretty grueling,
but we were prepared and
I think we really
impressed them," said Mr.
Davis. "They told us to
expect to hear from them
in six months, which
would have been April,
but we heard from them
just before Christmas."
Students accepted in


program begin the accel-
erated studies in their
junior year, but the appli-
cation and selection
process begins in the sec-
ond semester of 10th
grade.
On Wednesday, Jan. 16
at 6 p.m., interested par-
ents and 10th grade stu-
dents can attend a meet-
ing in PSLHS's Media
Center: The meeting will
allow students to begin
the application process.
"We'll be distributing
materials and a letter of
intent to apply, along with
information on the pro-
gram," said Mr. Davis.
"Students then return the
letter with their parent's
signature, and that is their
ticket for the application
process."

G neral Tooth Care Tips
Q: What are some tips for brushing and general tooth care?
A: Well, let's start with your toothbrush. Replace your toothbrush every three
months. It you need to replace the toothbrush more frequently, you may be
brushing too hard. t And that can be bad for your gums and the enamel on
your teeth. our dentist can show you the right technique for brushing. You
should brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
Ideally, you should bush every time after eating. Floss your teeth at least once a d
a day to remove the plaque and to reach into spots a toothbrush can't reach. .
Until they are six years old, children should be supervised by an adult, when brushing their
teeth. Children should use only a pea-sized dollop of toothpaste to make sure they don't
swallow too much fluoride. Teach children to spit out while brushing, and not swallow. Give
a child san appropriately sized toothbrush. Most importantly, see your dentist regularly at
least twice a year and have your teeth cleaned professionally on a regular basis, as advised by
your dentist.

Ashlee Register of Port St. Lucie answered enough questions by 'Duel' host Mike Green-
berg to walk away with a 1.8 million dollar prize. The ABC-TV game show was broadcast
in December.

audition and to meet with
producers of the show.
Once chosen as a con-
testant, she traveled to Los
Angeles, where the show
was taped the week after
Thanksgiving. It aired
beginning Dec. 17.
"I've never been on jury
duty, but people tell me it
was just like that. I was
sequestered. We weren't
allowed any phones, TV,or
newspapers and we were
not allowed to talk to other
contestants," said Mrs.
Register.
"Duel" is described on
ABC's Web site as a "tour-
nament of game play com-
bining trivia challenges
like those on 'Who Wants
to be a Millionaire,' with
the strategy played in the
'World Series of Poker."'
Each of the 24 contest-
ants had the chance to
"duel" each other, and, if
they got just one question
wrong, they were eliminat-
ed from the game.
Each participant
became known by a hick-
name, which included
"The Alligator Wrestler,"
"The Rocker," and "The
Funeral Home Director."

Register is $1.8 million
richer, because water
weighs more than oil.
The final question on
"Duel," ABC's latest prime
time game, show, was
"Which of these weighs
more?"
The multiple choice
answers were "a gallon of
water, a gallon of crude oil,
a gallon of vegetable oil or
they are all the same."'
On the show's final
night, which aired Dec. 23,
Port St. Lucie resident Ash-
lee Register, 28, knew the
answer; a gallon of water.
As a result, she won the
game show and is $1.8 mil-
lion richer.
"I was pretty emotional,"
said Mrs. Register, stating
the obvious.

Smash and grab nets
$40,000 in cell phones
It took less than five minutes for four men to ram a
vehicle into the rear metal door of the AT&T store at
1395 Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard and
abscond with $40,000 worth of cellular phones. The
crime occurred just after 6 a.m. on Jan. 2.
Entering through a small hole created by the colli-
sion, the men, who wore hooded sweatshirts, masks
and gloves, then used a sledgehammer to break
through a rear office, and a pick-ax to break into the
cabinet containing the phones.
The suspects were caught on video surveillance but
remained at large at press time.
Anyone with information is asked to call Treasure
Coast Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-TIPS.

Landlord jailed on charge of shooting at tenant allegedly tries again


BY RITA HART
Staff writer

PORT ST. LUCIE A Port
St. Lucie man admitted to
police it was a "bad idea"
to return to-the scene of an
earlier disturbance, an act
that put him in jail for a
second time in less than 24
hours.
When Port St. Lucie
police Sgt. Mark Boals and
Officer Jermaine Singleton
responded to a call of a
shooting at a residence in
the 2000 block of South-
west Cranberry Street on
Jan. 3, they found a man in
the driveway, walking
toward them.
A second male, James M.


Leclair, 46, was in the
home. When contacted by
dispatch, he came outside
with his hands above his
head.
Police then heard two
different stories from the
men about what had just
occurred.
The first man, a tenant of
Mr. Leclair's in the home,
said he returned home
from work at 5 p.m. and
Mr. Leclair began arguing
with him about his rent
payment, telling him he
wanted the tenant out of
the house.
When the tenant told Mr.
Leclair he would have to
go through the court sys-
tem to evict him, Mr.


Leclair allegedly became
angry and went into his
bedroom, returning with a
gun that he fired at the
tenant. The tenant ran to
his bedroom and 'called
911.
The. landlord told Officer
Singleton a different story.
He said he was the one who
came home from work to
find the angry tenant in the
kitchen. The tenant
allegedly told Mr. Leclair
that he (Mr. Leclair) had
been disrespectful.
Mr. Leclair told police he
advised the tenant to leave
if he didn't like living there,
but the tenant said he
would not do so, nor would
he continue to pay rent.
Mr. Leclair told police he
went to his bedroom, but
later heard the tenant
yelling and cursing. Mr.
Leclair said he returned to
the living room to calm the


tenant down, but then
noticed the tenant was
holding a knife, approxi-
mately 4 inches in length,
at which time Mr. Leclair
said he returned to his
bedroom to retrieve his
gun.
According to Mr. Leclair,
the tenant dared. him to
shoot, and then came at
Mr. Leclair with the knife.
At that point, Mr. Leclair
told police, he fired one
"warning shot" at the wall,
at which time. the tenant
went into his room and
called 911.
When police searched
the house, they found a .38
caliber revolver in the
master bedroom on a chair
in a gun pouch, with five
live rounds in the gun and
one shell. The. officer
noticed an odor of gun
powder, from a fired gun,
and in the living room


wall, directly across from
the master bedroom, a
hole about five feet off the
ground. .
A similar hole was found
in a wall in a second bed-
room adjacent to the living
room and a third hole on
the far wall of the bed-
room.
Police also found a "frac-
ture in the stucco exterior
wall consistent with the
holes in the inside of the
home."
However, an extensive
search of the interior and
exterior of the home, as
well as the tenant's vehicle,
and a canvass of the neigh-
borhood failed to turn up
any sign of a knife,
As a. result, Mr. Leclair
was charged with aggra-
vated assault and taken to
St. Lucie County jail with-
out incident. He was
released on bond.


At approximately 1 a.m.
on Jan. 4, just hours after
his release from jail, police
were called back to the res-
idence after Mr. Leclair
allegedly returned home
and told the tenant he had
ruined Mr. Leclair's life.
According to the police
report, the tenant said Mr.
Leclair came into his bed-
room with a bolt-action
rifle, holding it in ,both
hands, and told the tenant
he was going to put a bul-
let in his head.
When police arrived, Mr.
Leclair admitted he had
"words" with the tenant
about the prior incident,
but denied holding a rifle
during the argument.
Mr. Leclair was charged a
second time with aggravat-
ed assault and again taken
to,. St. Lucie County jail,
where he remained at
press time on no bond.

"In a little over a year,
we've had announcements
of 550,000-square-feet of
biotech institutes, which is
phenomenal," said Mayor
Christensen. "It's going to
mean thousands of jobs
and it's going to mean mil-
lions of dollars in revenue,
between the employees
working for those organi-
zations and what it will do
for the economic viability
for our community."
Mayor Christensen was
also thankful for the sup-
port of the local educa-
tional community.
"Fortunately, we've got
the buy-in from our school
district and our local com-
munity college and univer-
sity to implement more
programs to allow the
youth of our community,
the future of our commu-
nity, to become educated


in these fields, so they too
can reap the benefits of
what these organizations
will do. In the meantime,_
they'll bring the jobs here
that we need," she said.
Sen. Pruitt, who was
credited at the luncheon
for being a major player in
attracting the biotech
,institutes to the Treasure
Coast, also appreciates the
long-range benefits.
"Our quest for excellence
has been driven by a com-
munity focused on its
future," he said. "Not con-
tent to allow the status
quo, we are convinced that
our economic transforma-
tion must be centered on a
21st century world-class
research and education
drive, and it's happening
right here on the Research
Coast."

Ask The Jeweler
IS IT MINE ?
I buy lots of jewelry from
the public. To do so I must
fill out a police report when
purchasing jewelry from
the public. We must ask
whose ring (or whatever
they are selling) it is. We do
this to determine whether it
is their property to sell or if..
they have authorization to
sell it. And I frequently
hear something that dis-
turbs me. One of them is
from ladies that have been
engaged but have since
broken off the engage-
ment. They have given the
engagement ring back. The
second thing I hear is that
the man brings the ring in
to sell and he tells me he
"took" it back.
Well here's the real deal.
If you receive an engage-
ment ring, it's yours. You
can wear it, sell it, or do
anything you want with it.
It's yours. If he "takes" it
back without your authori-
zation, it is still yours and
you can take whatever
legal means you like to get
it back. Therefore if he tries
to sell it to me or any other
jeweler it is not-his to sell.
This is straight from the
detective that is our repre-
sentative from the sheriff's
office.

Stop parking in the swales

After numerous calls'to Port St. Lucie city hall code
enforcement about cars, vans, and trucks being parked in
the swales;in and around the Torino area overnight, I was
directed to call 911 on weekends and after hours and report
to the police department.
Both Port St. Lucie code enforcement and the Police
Department acknowledged it is against the law for vehicles
to be parked in the swales overnight. The PSLPD then indi-
cated that if I would like an officer to come out and ticket
the vehicle they would.
So, the question is why don't code enforcement and or
PSLPD simply enforce the law during their neighborhood
checks? Why does a concerned citizen have to continually
call to have the PD enforce the law?
If there is a law on the books indicating that there is no
parking in the swales overnight, then that's what it should
mean.

Social Security benefits taking long

I am a 58-year-old white male that was diagnosed.with
polycystic kidney disease in 2003. I was told at that time I
would not get better and should slow down working. "Well"
at that time I owned my own small business and was a one-
man show. In 2006 the doctors were right. By that time
because of my disease I couldn't regulate my blood pres-
sure, the cysts on my kidneys had grown to a point where I
gained 45 pounds and I had a stroke, which left me with
partial use of my right leg and blind in my left eye. After a.
year of treatment and eye surgery in 2007, my eye did not
get better.
In.2006, as I said, my doctors made me stop working. I
had to sell my business and quit. I have a family doctor, a
kidney doctor and eye specialist and I had to hire a lawyer,
which will also costs me $5,000 out of my pocket. More
money than necessary is being spent to straighten this situ-
ation out. All have been in charge of filling out a mountain
of paper work and writing letters explaining my physical
condition to Social Security trying to get my disability
approved. I have had two denials so far and my case is sit-
ting on some judge's desk in Miami waiting for a decision to
be made.
I belong to AARP and-in their November 2007, Volume 48
edition, the headlines on the front cover reads, "They Died
Waiting, Lost in Social Security Hell." The article is on Page
,10. I personally have talked to people who have waited 4
years or more to get their benefits.
The ironic thing is that when you get it, it is retroactive
from when you apply. Some people have gotten $49,000 in
one lump sum. The problem is that by that time you have
lost your house, your car pnd everything else you worked all
your life for. Creditors, utilities, mortgage companies, gro-
cery stores don't let you live using IOUs until your money
shows up.
The real problem with all of this is, as I said, I am 58 years
old; I have been working since I was 13. I have paid in to
Social Security since I was 16 years old. I am not asking for
welfare or a free handout. "I want what's mine"! I paid in to
Social Security all of my life. As I just said, I am not asking
for a free handout, I only want what belongs to me and
what I have coming to me.
I am not an unwed mother on welfare with three kids who
do not know who their fathers are (notice I used plural for
fathers). In most cases there is more than one not paying
any support for their children.
I am not an illegal immigrant using the system to get free
medical benefits.
I am a citizen of the United States who has been paying
my share of taxes, .on time all my life, to help cover the
above. There are probably plenty more examples available,
but these are the two that most citizens of the United States
are most familiar with at the present time.
I am mad and for good reason, I want my money before I
get kicked out of my house, lose my car and can't buy gro-
ceries for me and my family.
Could you live for two to four years with no income or
insurance for health care and prescriptions?


BoM COURSES OFFERED---

ME4,T IMO4TH I


I have been spending $790 a month for health insurance
alone, which will soon end because it will be unaffordable in
the near future under these circumstances. Knowing that
the only thing I have to look forward to are dialysis and a
kidney transplant where is all that money going to come
from?
Read the AARP article. Let's start worrying about our own
United State citizens and taking care of us first.

Another request to buy American

The writer of "Even Pet Toys are "Made in China" is
"right-on." Our lawmakers have turned this country
inside-out and upside-down. They have taken away what
we Americans call democracy and given rights to foreign-
ers that they have not earned, fought or shed blood for.
It's not the politicians, but our great military, that's kept
this country free. Most all our retail is made in China,
Egypt, Taiwan, Bangladesh, etc. Foreign manufacturers
have factories here, giving Americans jobs, but consider
the consequences if they decide to "fold up" here. These
people own this country. It will take an organized boycott
(togetherness) in not buying these products, even if it'
means going without for a while. By the way, 90 percent of
our homeless are Veterans. It's the shame of this country.
The largest organization in this country, The American
Legion, VFW etc., are doing their best, by having Poppy
Day, spaghetti dinners, pancake breakfasts, and most
importantly, making up little baskets of soap, toothpaste,
after shave and candy at Christmas for our hospitalized
veterans.
We are "taking" this, screaming silently, some not
screaming at all. Most young people today don't care,
can't read, and wear caps in restaurants (sideways). Prob-
ably sitting with jeans and jackets made in Bangladesh.
Read the labels on Levi Strauss jeans or Wal-Mart. "Made
in Egypt," "Made. in Bangaladesh". Most all of them
flawed, mostly pockets and stitching on leg hems "pulled"
so tightly they look like they are "gathered."
If one out of one hundred persons read labels and did-
n't buy merchandise not made in America it would put a
big dent in this political import business.

Response to giving children
drugs is not a solution

My daughter is twelve years old, with ADHD. She was ten
months old when my mother noticed something different
about her. She would not play with any toy for more than a
few moments. I didn't know any different because she was
my first child. As the years went by our troubles grew more
intense. When she entered a local private school, she was
almost expelled six weeks before the end of kindergarten.
The neit year she went to public school and we continued
to have problems. She could not be tested until she was six. I
finally succumbed to testing halfway through the first grade.
To my embarrassment, she tested proof positive for
ADHD thanks to her teachers, her father, the doctor's obser-
vation and me. She began taking Concerta, which is very
close to Ritalin. Something amazing happened; she started
learning.


Through the years, I have been criticized for my daugh-
ter's disability. I once had a psychology professor invite me
to be a volunteer and speak in his class.
In front of the class he proceeded to tell me that my child's
ADHD was because I was a mother who didn't pay attention
to my child, not that I' had a child who lacked the ability to
pay attention.
Enraged, I sat up in my seat and politely defended my
daughter and myself. We read books as often as she would
sit through them. We learned how to add and subtract using
peas and carrots at the dinner table. My focus had to make
up for her lack of.
There is a Web site called DailyStrength.org, and anyone
who would like to get the advice of other people going
through the same struggles as I have, can go there for some
real support and encouragement, not the ignorant ranting
of some uneducated citizen who has never walked in the
shoes of a parent or child with ADHD..Please go learn before
you spurn. To all parents with ADHD children, be proud of
your children.
They are unique and if the medication works, ADHD chil-
dren have better self-esteem and have been proven to grow
into better adults when they succeed! But that would only
be common sense.

Seen vs. Saw

What ever happened to the word saw? Every day on the
news or in public you hear most people saying, I seen it
happen," or "I seen the guy who did it run off." Where did all
these people learn the English language? Surely there is
something lacking in the 'education system and also at
home.
I saw this just lately on the news where a person I believed
was educated used the wdrd "seen" describing something
he saw. May the word saw rest in peace. It is dead.

Fireworks should be outlawed

If I were going to attack the United States, it would be on
New Year's Eve when everyone is drunk and setting off fire-
works. Nobody would notice until the next day. We have
always set off fireworks. Prior to that we just fired our guns
in the air like many third-world regimes do today. It has
been addressed how dangerous it is to fire guns into the. air.
When I was a child I like fireworks. Now, as an adult, I carry a
gun everyday of my life. Fireworks are illegal except for pro-
fessionals. Where does all the gunpowder go after the fire-
works? It's time that fireworks are outlawed. Let's find a
more mature way to celebrate New Year's, Christmas, July
Forth, and Wayne Huizenger's birthday.

Waterboarding is not torture

As an'American I have one thing to sat; why do we have to
have a Congressional investigation into CIA tapes of torture
that were destroyed?
Are the senators stupid?
Don't they realize that we are under attack?
People keep looking for a reason to prosecute someone

Letters


Dear Hometown News,

I'm a 72-year-old lady and I thought that I couldn't possi-
bly hurt anymore, but bam, here it comes and oh yes, I hurt
till I don't know where to turn.
I am estranged from my children, leaving the holiday sea-
son a lonely time. I was admitted into hospital in August of
2005 for an emergency tracheotomy. I had to be transferred
to two different hospitals because Lawnwood Hospital in
Fort Pierce didn't have the means to treat me. Because of the
condition of my 'relationship with my children, there were
rio presents at Christmas, birthday's, Mother's Day, or any
other time of the year.
I came here to die, and in the beginning, I didn't care


whether I lived or died, then God sent me a gift and I real-
ized that I was to take care of it.
I have beautiful wild white birds and squirrels that I feed
every morning. When I call them, the sky fills with them. I
love them so very much. The squirrels are the same. I feed
them.twice a day.
Now the problem, Flowers bakery will no longer sell me 45
loaves of two-day old bread. The new policy from Miami
caters to the farmers, and you must buy 13 trays, equaling
130 loaves.
I offered to pay for 130 loaves, which is $10, and only take
ten loaves and let, them give the rest away, but Janet the
manager said they can't do that as it would put her job in
jeopardy.


I can only keep 35 loaves in the freezer where I live, and
ten in my room. I would like to know where I can give the
extra 85 loaves to?
Right now I am being forced to buy hot dog rolls for 49-
cents a pack. I only get $35 a month spending money after
paying my board. I'm between a rock and a hard place.
Please help me. I don't care that I'm not going to have a
Christmas, I just want to know what to do with the extra
bread.

Sincerely,

Ms. Diana Kolesar
Port St. Lucie

From page A6
that is doing their job. Waterboarding is not torture. It is a
method of getting information from someone that is willing
to kill us. We are in a war. This country is turning into a
third-world country.

Thank you to a stranger

Last week, I was taking my son to a doctor's appointment
- we were both stressed out and in tears. I didn't have any
money, not even the two dollars to pay the co-payment. A
woman in the office insisted I take $10.1 I was able to pay the
co-payment and also enjoy a Christmas -dinner with the
money I had left over. This meant the world to me. I can
never express how much this meant to my son and me. I
want to thank this lady form the bottom of my heart. I have
since passed it forward.

This president needs to go

This is about the president and the money he doesn't
want to give to the children for their medical attention, and
he took things away from seniors.
He allows billions for his war, how much long are Ameri-
cans going to put up with that person in the White House?
And as for the CIA business: he says he doesn't recall. Of
course he doesn't.

Volume control impossible
with loud commercials

Have you been watching a TV program when suddenly a
commercial blares on 50 percent louder than the program?
Do you receive the overly loud commercials from the
Bright House Network? They play the regular program at a
lower volume and raise the commercial volume. The only
cure is to hit the mute button and forget it, or you can hold
the remote control and run the volume down and up and
down and up.

Grateful for the free Hometown News

I read the other day that someone was complaining about
the Hometown News being distributed freely.
I wanted to say, I am very glad it is distributed freely every
week, even if I am not here all the time. I have nice neigh-
bors who are collecting it so that the paper is not lying about
too long. I think this is a wonderful thing.

White Pages shouldn't have maps

Hey.you guys, this is the lady (who) called about the
listings in the white pages with the ages and the map.
Thanks for putting it in. I read your editor's note and of
course I know the addresses are in the phone book, but I
was very surprised to see the map to my house right on
the page without going to a link. That's the only thing I
was saying.

Suggestion on phone book listings

I decided to have our name removed from the phone
book when a psychiatrist where my husband works was
threatened by a patient off his meds.
At that point, I figured that if some crazy got my husband,
he wasn't coming to the house after the kids and me, as well.
I just changed the listing. I used his first name and my
maiden name. (Sometimes women get stupid calls.)
That worked. No extra charge. My family could find us.
When we got callers wanting to speak to Mrs. Maiden, we
knew it was sales garbage and cut it short.


Give McDonald's workers a break


This is to the ranter that wrote "Gets wrong order at
McDonald's."
I wonder if that ranter has actually gone inside and seen
these young workers. They are underpaid and overworked.
Most of them are kids. They are trying to do the best they
can to get everyone's order right. Now, if she got the wrong
order, all she had to do was bring it in and try to get her
order right. That's all.
Don't blame these kids because of one little order that she
got wrong. If she feels that way about it, why doesn't she just
stay home and cook her own meals.
I've been in McDonald's many times, and I see the way
these kids are working. And I see the way the managers treat
them. At least they are working and not on the streets com-
mitting crimes or anything.
So, give them a break.

Waste Management decision is just bad
My rant is about our elected officials.
They don't seem to understand what "no" to future spend-
ing (means). The caving in to corporate greed, such as this
Waste Management fiasco, is a joke.
The only thing it is going to do is make more profit for
Waste Management. It can't benefit anybody (else because it
will) increase costs and road usage (by) tractor trailers
between here and Orlando.
They need to establish a garbage burn plant in the Mel-
bourne area or Brevard County so we can reap the harvest as
opposed to sending it elsewhere and not keeping the money
and jobs within Brevard County.

Christmas and holiday aren't the same thing

This is in response to "A Happy Holiday to all harms no
one."
I would like to ask the writer, what day do they shut down
all the schools and all the businesses and the banks on Dec.
25?
Hmm. That's called Christmas.
If we have Jewish friends, we wish them a Happy
Hanukkah. But the reason for the season is Jesus. He was
born for all of us. He died for all of us. He rose and, hal-
leluiah, we celebrate this Christmas season with joy, not a
happy holiday.

Reader wants help to cede from the U.S.

I am so fed up with corruption in the U.S. government
or pork spending that I am ceding from the U.S. govern-
ment and trying to form my own government.
I have tried calling some lawyers in the Titusville/Port
St. John area and I am hoping that a lawyer and will agree
to represent me and help me to cede from the U.S. gov-
ernment and form my own government because of cor-
ruption
Pork spending is why the U.S. government is $9 trillion
in debt. It is why Social Security is gone. It's why gas or oil
was never gotten rid of in the 1970s because of taxes or
pork spending. It's why Jogeph Newman never got his
patent to give people free electricity and why we're not in
space by now.
Pork spending has got to stop sooner or later. I am a
firm believer in the law or when any politician creates a
bill, the bill should be about that subject only (with) no
pork in it.
I am hoping somebody out there is a lawyer and will call
the Hometown News and (they) will give you my cell num-
ber.
I have already (written) my own constitution, the Earth
World Constitution. I have had it notarized by a U.S.
notary public, but I need a lawyer to make it legal. I do not
want my U.S. citizenship. I need a lawyer to fulfill my
dreams of ceding from the U.S. government.


Ranter demands more energy efficiency
I am so happy to see Congress finally demanding better
mileage on autos.
While some businesses require heavy duty vehicles that must
consume a lot of fuel, the average driver does not need as big a
vehicle. In the North, driving winters on ice and snow, a small
lightweight vehicle will not do the job, so I will be happy to let
them pay the higher fuel bills.
I bought a Saturn coupe in 1997 that got 38 mpg. My son got
one a couple of years later that got 36 mpg. The new ones get 32
mpg. We have been going in the wrong direction. There were
cars in the 1940s that got 50 mpg.
What we need to see next is the government increasing the
mpg rate every year and backing research on vehicles that run
on something besides fossil fuel.
It is also time to make homes energy independent; wind,
solar, whatever. By now, most of the newer homes should be
built with better insulation and windows and should require a
minimum of energy to heat and cool them.
I was walking through homes under construction in this area
and am still seeing single-pane windows. Maybe double pane
windows should be required before a house is allowed on the
market. It is no different than some states that require radon test
results in order to close a sale.
Next, there should be a gas. guzzler tax on the big personal
vehicles. We need to see more efficient public transportation.
Actually, I can see the advantage of having fewer 18-wheelers
running coast-to-coast deliveries and putting more of those
trailers on flat bed rails, if that is more efficient.
Perhaps the Sun Passes should be different for different
weight vehicles. The heavier ones do ruin the road beds.

Who tests plastics in small appliances?

How can I tell if the plastics used in a hot pot or coffee pot are
OK?
I first had a hot pot from China that smelled so strongly of
petroleum or plastics that I had to throw it out. The taste of the
tea that I made from the hot water gagged me.
Now I just bought a Cook coffee pot (Not JCPenny's Cooks
Brand). I tried to use the pot for tea, and again, the plastic odor
was strong, even after I ran white vinegar through it several
times, and tried to use it.
Does anyone test the plastics in these small kitchen appli-
ances? I understand that some plastics, like (those) used for the
milk jug are safe. There are high-heat plastics used for pan han-
dles that are fine, but there are plastics that give off toxins with
heat and this concerns me.

Gender is not a qualification for office
(This is a) reply to "Women should vote for a woman for pres-
ident." While your rant is well-intended,it is ill-conceived and
illogical. Whoever people feel is most qualified is who they
should vote for. The physical possession of a cervix, a uterus,
and/or ovaries is not a qualification for government office, only
potential to bear children. Just thought I'd clear that up.

FSU must punish cheating athletes

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

Time to stamp out Medicare fraud

Recent studies show that outright fraud in Medicare is about
$60 billion a year (according to
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22184921/from/ET/). That is billion
with a "b." (As a former employee of the Social Security Admin-
istration), it only seems like yesterday it was $29 billion a year.
This is just plain fraud; not where a provider has been paid twice
or honest mistakes. This is plain criminal fraud. I strongly ask
that everyone write or call your congressmen or senators and
tell them to do something'or you will vote them out.

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers.

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't
know me, I should tell you that I don't profess
to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who
was always perfect for the past 38 years.
When I look at some of my past advertising
and sales tactics, I am not a ays 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 -_'7
how to run your business. I "My CU
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectat
customers.
Virtually every car dealer ofeduca
in Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a Sophistic
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 much hig
to nearly $1,000. This extra
charge is programmed into

and accounting,


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
' ?"~? !Y' dealer fee, but because I was

customers in buying their new

So where do we go from
here?
I believe that the last true
frontier is discovering and
using the inner universe
that lives in each of our
hearts and spirits. The
exploration of our inner self
and values is sorely under-
developed at this time in
-human history.
It is never too late to
become the person our
spiritual destiny calls us to
be. Age, breeding, educa-


tion, experience, privilege,
wealth or power have little
to do with it. Finding our
true self is a learned prac-
tice, just like developing
every other craft and skill
lying dormant within.
Bringing it out and setting it
free should be the No. 1
purpose of everyone alive
on Earth. No matter who we
are or what we have accom-
plished, there is always
room to grow if we truly
want it.

The starting key is to
change something.
I heard a story recently
about a young couple who
got married. On the first
anniversary, the loving wife
decided to cook dinner for
the family and friends to
celebrate the good fortune
bestowed. In the kitchen,
she went to work. Her
devoted husband pitched
in. They started by prepar-
ing a ham. She placed the
ham on the cutting board
and asked her beloved to
cut off the end. He did the
job as directed. Then the
ham and the end piece were
placed on the cooking tray
and safely tucked in the
oven. The husband, being of
inquisitive nature, asked,
"Why did you want the end
of the ham cut off?"
The wife replied, "That is
the way my mother always
did it."
Mother was at the cele-
bration. The young wife
called her into the kitchen
and asked, "Mother, why did
you always cut off the end of
the ham before cooking it?"
Mother said, "That's the
way your grandmother
always did it."
Grandmother was
brought into the kitchen
and asked the same ques-
tion.
"Oh, that's simple," she
replied. "I only had a small
pan."
There are eight simple
steps to creating true riches
within.
Step 1: Have the desire for
a better life.
You must want to get out
of the same old rut. Can you
relate?
Step 2: Make a goal to
change something.
When we set a goal, we set
a limit and create a bound-
ary. It's like saying, "This is


Program
From page Al
The application process
includes a timed essay, a
Spanish oral proficiency
test and a review of stan-
dardized test scores.
"There is also a teacher-
recommended component
written by the students'
current teachers."
The program's curricu-
lum includes six academic
areas: language; individu-
als and societies; mathe-
matics and computer sci-
ence; the arts;
experimental sciences and
second language.
During the two-year pro-
gram, students choose six
subjects from these areas
and must also complete
what the program calls its
three core requirements:
an extended essay on a
topic of the student's
interest, a theory of knowl-
edge (TOK) course and
participation in creativity,
action, service (CAS).
The International Bac-
calaureate Web site
describes TOK as being
"designed to provide
coherence by exploring
the nature of knowledge
across disciplines, encour-

arena."
International Baccalau-
reate World Schools work
in partnership with the
International Baccalaure-
ate (IB) organization. Each
school pays a fee annually
to the IB organization,
which was founded in 1968
in Geneva, Switzerland.
"The school district pro-
vided a tremendous
amount of financial sup-
port," said Mr. Davis.
"They paid for the applica-
tion fees and exam fees.
But Florida is unique
among other states; the
district funds the testing
for the first couple of
years, and after the test
results start coming back,
the state financially
rewards schools for good
scores. We then use that
money to purchase exams,
so it becomes a self-sus-
taining program."

am going to have." Some-
thing has to change.
Step 3: Take this new idea
and vision of what we want
and plant it by writing it
down.
This grounds it in the
magical creative universal
energy. Electricity or seeds
won't sprout or grow unless
they are grounded. A
million dollar idea won't
sprout or grow if it isn't
written down and grounded
either.
Step 4: Speak it out loud.
This is the same as
watering a seed. This step
sends the energy out to
spirit for help in the creative
process.
Step 5: Intensify it.
Draw it or find pictures
that bring more detail, focus
and vision to the desire.
Then watch for the signs
that a blessing is upon the

birth.

A portrait of the exceptional King David


Our modern world is
desperately in need
of role models worth
following.
There is a need for
authentic heroes ... people
of integrity whose lives
inspire us to do better, to
climb higher and to stand
taller.
Maybe that explains why
biographies of great men
and women of the Bible
intrigue us.
As we turn the pages of
the Bible, we are drawn into
the drama. We imagine the
sounds. We get caught up
into the virtual reality of it.
We enter into the action-
packed scenes, portrayed
.on the pages.
When we think of David,
we think shepherd, poet,
musician, warrior, giant-
slayer, king, and ancestor of
Jesus. David distinguished
himself as one of God's
greatest men.
Acts 13:22b says, "I have
found David, the son of
Jesse, a man after my own
heart, which shall fulfill all
my will."
What made God refer to
David as a 'man after my


own heart?'
David offers an answer in
the shape of his own life.
In many ways David was a
most extraordinary man. He
was intelligent and abun-
dantly gifted. In other ways,
he was a most ordinary
man, gripped by destructive
passion, and rocked by
personal tragedy and family
chaos.
As we reflect on his life
story, we realize we share in
his failures. We also have the
option to share in his
greatness by following God's
plan and purpose for our
lives.
David's life offers hope to
all of us. It shows that God
can do extraordinary things
through ordinary men and
women.
When David was elected
king over all the people of
Israel, one of his first acts
was to attack the fortified
city of Jebus, known today
as Jerusalem.
David then made it the
capital city of his kingdom
and erected his palace
'there.
After establishing his new
political capital, David


DAVID GOODE
Religion columnist
proceeded to re-establish
and strengthen the worship
of God.
He moved the Ark of the
Covenant to Jerusalem.
David organized worship on
a magnificent scale and
began plans to build a
house of worship, a temple
in Jerusalem.
But God had other plans.
Solomon, David's son and
successor, erected the first
temple in Jerusalem.
Jesus was referred to as.
the Son of David. Genealogy
traces Him back through the
ancestry of King David.
God promised David a


kingdom that would have
no end. This prophecy was
fulfilled in Jesus, who came
to establish the Kingdom of
God.
Jesus was born in Bethle-
hem, and this sleepy little
town was also David's
birthplace and boyhood
home. That's why it is
known as the "city of
David."
David's influence for good
in the life of his nation was
great. Every king of Judah
after David was compared
to the standard he estab-
lished.
As a warrior and military
man, he was resourceful
and courageous. As a
religious leader, he was
exceptional.
The Jewish historian
Josephus praised David by
saying, "This man was of an
excellent character, and was
endowed with allthe virtues
that were desirable in a
king."
The epitaph, "the son of
Jesse, the man raised up on
high," paints a portrait of
King David.
Early in his life David
distinguished himself as the

"sweet psalmist of Israel."
Many of the psalms in the
Book of Psalms are attrib-
uted to him.
His writings will continue
to be the favorite devotional
literature for those who seek
a closer walk with God.
Music was a regular part
of ancient life, accompany-
ing priests at temples,
brides at weddings, and the
solitary individual in
contemplation.
David's fondness for
music is recorded in many
places in the Bible. He
played skillfully on the harp
and arranged worship
services in the sanctuary.
Within this musical
culture, the psalms were
Israel's worship songs,
offering reflection on the
experiences of life. I .
When David became king,.
he appointed professional
singers to perform religious
duties. David personally
rendered "songs of praise"


at special religious occa-
sions.
Don't just read the
Psalms, pray them and
personalize them -
experience their energy,
emulate their honesty, enjoy
their creativity.

Move toward exercise one step at time


I think that almost
everybody, every year,
resolves to exercise
more.
We know we should. We
know it's good for us for a
lot for reasons. We know
we'll look and feel better
and our clothes will fit
better. If that's true, why
aren't we all exercisin'
fools?
It may be that getting
started is one part of the
equation. Maintaining
enthusiasm for it is
another part. Also, you
have to be willing to work
on both ends to make
exercise work for you.
This year, instead of
writing about choosing a
fitness center, which is not
an option for many
because of cost, distance
or shyness, I thought I'd
write about "The Power of
One." That's my way of
suggesting making one
change in your routine at a
time. Trying to train for a
marathon when you
haven't run before is a
prescription for failure.
The first thing to do is,
examine your day and see
where you can incorporate

exercise. Can you walk to
work or to the store
instead of driving? Can
you park in a distant space
and walk to your destina-
tion, instead of parking in
the closest space? If you're
going to the mall, can you
make several trips around,
just walking, before you
start to window shop?
Little steps like that get
you moving and get your
mind into an exercise
mode.
Many people think they
have to invest in expensive
memberships, clothes or
equipment in order to
exercise. It's not true. You
can get pedometers for
less than $10. A pedometer
measures the number of
steps you take. An ideal
goal is 10,000 a day. Spend
a day and see how far you
actually do go. If it's 2,000,
aim to increase that by
about 500 the first week.
Try to add some each
week. A pedometer is a
reminder to keep moving;
you'll be surprised at how
quickly the numbers add
up.
I am a big fan of exercise
videos. They can be used
at any time, they have
music to keep you inter-
ested, you can exercise

weather and there are
many to choose from.
You can build up an
exercise library over time.
Collage Videos sells many
of them and you can even
preview some at
www.collagevideo.com. If
you're Internet savvy, you
can find some on eBay.
I like Leslie Sansone, a
fitness expert whose
programs are built on
simple walking steps and
Denise'Austin, who has
some beginner tapes, as
well. Choose something
you can do, because the
best program in the world
won't work if it's too
difficult and you don't like
it. You can even find
specialized ones, such as

dancing, salsa, even belly
dancing. In your own
home, who cares how silly
you think you look? Let
yourself enjoy the music
and the movement.
In the last year, I have
really tried to work exer-
cise into every day. I find
that dance videos are a fun
way to get cardiovascular
exercise, benefiting the
heart and lungs. Some
days, I do exercises
holding light weights,
concentrating on the
upper body and spine, to
help fend off osteoporosis.
Other days, I'll combine
the two, or do some lower-
body exercises. I try to mix
and match my workouts
because I tend to get
bored; if I vary the rou-
tines, my muscles have to
"think" about what comes
next. I will be the first one
to say that exercise is not
easy, but I feel better each
day that I do work out,
both physically and
emotionally.
If you can, buddy-up to
motivate yourself and a
friend. Go for a walk with a
friend to have someone to
talk to and help keep you
motivated. Walk with the
kids, to encourage good
habits for life. If you have
a dog, make it exercise for
both of you.
Again, strive to go a little
farther or a little faster
over time, or to add light
hand-held weight to make
it more challenging.
Of course, before you
begin aiiy exercise pro-
gram, talk to your doctor,
to make certain that it is
appropriate for you. If you
get the greenlight, get
moving!

Themed cruises offer unique



experiences to travelers


In early November, I had a
most wonderful and
unexpected cruise
experience.
Our company, along with
a local smooth jazz radio
station, sailed aboard Royal
Caribbean's Sovereign of the
Seas on a three-night
itinerary to the Bahamas.
The radio station secured
two incredible jazz artists,
New York headliner Matt
Marshak and guitarist, and
nationally acclaimed David
Wells of West Virginia.
They were joined by a
very talented bass player,
Kenny Harris of New York
and Carl Anderson of
Baltimore, who mastered
both the drums and key-
board.
What was really unique.
was the artists (with the
exception of Marshak and
Harris) had never played
together before. They
actually met on board the
first day of the cruise.
Our cruise set sail from
Port Canaveral on Friday
afternoon and shortly after
pulling out of port, our
group of about 100 gathered
at a pre-dinner cocktail
party. The guys were
gracious and spoke with
great ease with many of our
group. The radio host made'
announcements for the two
private concerts that were
scheduled for the next two
evenings. Then we all

she is a graduate of Slip-

(now University). When
she moved to Florida after
graduation in 1979, with a
degree in library science,
she simply wanted a break

She expected to stay for
three years, and then
return to her home state.
"The school became my

said Ms. Snyder, who is sin-

The school is expected to

Ms. Snyder said the com-

three possible names for
the school, and present
them to the school board
for final approval.
The school is a partner-

listening to some really
enjoyable laid-back jazz as
the first evening.
We were so wrong. Not
only was it lively with
people on the floor dancing,
but each musician played a
solo that blew us away.
David Wells' rendition of
"Amazing Grace" on his
flugle horn was something
everyone should be able to
hear. It was flawless.
We were all a little late for
dinner as there were many
encores. Many of the other
passengers who happened
by the Voltage Lounge and
heard the sounds coming
from within wanted to get
in. It was a private concert
through the radio station
and only those who were
part of the group were
allowed.
The overall experience
was more than what the
usual three-night itinerary
would bring. If you want to
experience all things on
board and on shore, you
would be busy as it is a jam-
packed getaway. Longer
cruises tend to be a little
more laid back.
Theme cruises allow you
to take part in something
you are interested in.
Many cruise lines offer
theme cruises from "Fifties
and Sixties" and "Big Band"
to "Murder Mysteries" and
"Texas Hold 'Em."
Whatever your interest or


applications can be
obtained from the school
district's Web site,
www.stlucie.kl2.fl.us.
"I think itis such a won-
derful professional growth
opportunity to build a
facility from the ground
up," said Ms. Snyder. "Even'
more important is to build
a team of teachers who will
take the mission and the
vision and build a school
culture that will provide
excellent academics to
children."

passion, there is usually a
cruise that can accommo-
date it.
Many luxury lines offer
enrichment programs, such
as on-board experts from
The Smithsonian, wine
sommeliers or international
culinary experiences.
A theme cruise can be just
a group that is traveling
together and have private
gatherings, such as the jazz
cruise I wrote about. Others
can be a half- or full-ship
charter. Most, though, are
specific to an agency and all
reservations must go
through the agency that is
handling all reservations.
Some cruise lines offer
themed itineraries with
some additional on board
activities that reflect the
theme.
Check out some of the
theme cruises that may be
available and you may have
a new cruise experience.
I know I am looking
forward to the second
annual Smooth Jazz Cruise
Feb. 13, 2009. I am a new
smooth jazz listener.

Make sure recipients can open up attachments you send


W en it comes to
sending attach-
ments through e-
mail, most people have one
thing in mind: pictures.
If you think about it,
sending other file types
through e-mail can be one
of the most useful abilities
that the Internet affords.
Picture this: You're
working on a file at the
office, maybe a Word or
Excel document. A col-
league in another part of
town or another office
needs to see the file. Some
people will print out the file
and physically deliver or fax
the document to their
colleague not realizing that
the e-mail system can be
used to deliver any kind of
file right to another com-
puter.
Attach the file to an e-
mail message to your
colleague just as you would
if you were sending a
picture. As long as the
recipient has the same


software that you used to
create it, he (or she) should
be able to save it to his hard
drive and open it, just like
any other file. Then he can
print the document if he
wants or do what he will
with it.
It is,. however, the sender's
responsibility to make sure
that their recipients can
open the file before it's sent.
Nothing is more frustrating
then getting an e-mail
message marked, "Here's
the file you wanted," only to
find it is in some format
you've never heard of and
your computer can't open.
For instance, if you're
sending a Word document,
find out what word proces-
sor the recipient uses. That
person may be using an
older version ofWord and
not be able to open a file in
a newer version. A quick *
peak in the "help" pull down
menu and a click at the
"about" option will tell you
what version your word


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This
processor is.
Also, have the recipient
check his system so you can
save the document in the
correct version.
If you click "save as" and
look at the "file type" option
pull down menu, you'll see
you have the ability to save
your document in many
different formats. This puts
the control of the file type in
your hands.
The same thing goes'


when sending a picture.
Make sure it's a file that is
saved in a format that your
intended recipient can
open. Usually .jpg (jpeg) is a
safe bet.
Some people's familiarity
with e-mail attachments,
ends with the occasional
picture, but once the idea of
transferring files that way
becomes clear, a lot of
possibilities present them-
selves.
Let's go over the steps for
sending a file.
First, you need to know
where the file you want to
send is on your computer
and what it's called. If you
have a document you want
to send, save it and pay
attention to where you save
it and what it's named.
Then, when you have your
e-mail program open, click
"new message" and begin to
compose your message.
Enter the recipient's e-mail
address, a comment in the
subject field and then click


the "attach" button.
Next, your computer will
give you some options. You
want to indicate to the
computer that you are
attaching a "file." Click the
appropriate button and
then navigate to the loca-
tion on your hard drive
where the file that you want
to send resides. (Just check
in the same folder that you
saved it and then click the
file.) Click OK and the file
name will be listed as an
attachment.
You can even send
multiple files just by
repeating the procedure.
Remember, large files do
not always do well, so you
want to keep the attach-


ments small in size. Usually
a good rule of thumb is 100
kilobytes and smaller for e-
mail; this should cover most
office documents (such as
Word), but can be a prob-
lem with a file that is rich
with graphics.
To check a file's size when
you go to attach it, right
click it and then click
"properties."
The next window that
opens should tell you how
big the file is.

Pansies, snapdragons great for color


,WA th the colder
winter weather
upon us, and the
possibility of intermittent
freezing temperatures, we
want to plant annuals that
will need minimal care
during these cold snaps.

Pansies
Pansies are an excellent
choice, as they tolerate cold
temperatures and offer a
burst of color in your winter
garden. The scientific itame
for these delicate treasures
is violax wittrockiana.
These plants look
extremely delicate, but
actually 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.


JOE ZELENAK
Garden Nook

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. The plants
will do best in an area that
gets some 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.

Snapdragons
Another very popular
winter treat is an interesting
looking plant called the
snapdragon.
Snapdragons are one of
nature's examples of
splashing color and style.
These colorful gems come
in a wide assortment of
colors and varieties and
they are only available in
our area during the winter.
They are indeed a winter
treat. The flowers have a soft
scent and the plants come
in a variety of sizes, from
dwarf 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 these colorful flowers.
Snapdragons are easy to


wow.

ty," said St. Lucie County
Cultural Affairs Director
Jody Bonet. "The Cultural
Affairs Council greatly
appreciates city and county
staff assisting with the
installation. Most impor-
tantly we appreciate the
artists' participation in one
of Florida's largest sculpture
exhibitions."
'"This is really an inter-
esting group of sculptors.
I've never seen a more
diverse group for a show,"
said John Hayes, St. Lucie
County Art in Public Places
consultant. "Some of these
artists I found in the
woods, literally."
The sculptures will be
placed 'at various public
places throughout St.
Lucie County, including
libraries, parks, boat
ramps and government
buildings. Several pieces
will be located on public
property in the cities of
Fort Pierce and Port St.
Lucie, including both city
halls.
St. Lucie County's Cul-
tural Affairs Council will
hold a grand opening for
the exhibit on Friday, April


4 at Fort Pierce City Hall.
St. Lucie County's first
WOW exhibit took place in
2004 and featured roughly
40 pieces by artist David
Hayes. One of those pieces
is on permanent display in
front of Fort Pierce City
Hall facing U.S. 1.
The 30 pieces of artwork
for this exhibit were select-
ed out of nearly 140 differ-
ent sculptures.
Once all of the artwork is
installed, Hayes and staff


members from both Fort
Pierce and St. Lucie Coun-
ty will be putting together
informational maps and
brochures about all 30
sculptures.

WOW 2, contact the St.

Affairs Department at

grow and do well in partial
shade or sun during
January and February. Place
plants in an area of the yard
that drains well and is not
completely shaded. Use a
high quality potting mix,
such as Miracle Gro, so your
plants can get a good start.
Using a good quality
potting soil also has the
advantage of promoting
good drainage while
retaining just enough
moisture so plants do not
dry out as easily between
watering. Fertilize the
plants on a regular basis, at
least once every two weeks.
Use a good quality water-
soluble fertilizer, such as
Miracle Gro or Peters.
I would like to take this
opportunity to wish every-
body a very Happy New
Year! See you next week.

From page A2


as "The Nurse."
After she won, Mrs. Reg-
ister was required to sign a
lengthy contract that for-
bid her to tell anyone she
was the victor before the
show aired. That included
her husband, Jeff, who was
unable to be with her dur-
ing the show's taping.
"I wasn't allowed to tell a
soul. My husband found
out when he watched the
program," she said. "He
said from the beginning he
thought I would do well.
He was more confident
that I was. But he was still
shocked."
Most of Mrs. Register's
plans for her winnings,
which include money
accumulated throughout
the week-long show, are
practical and selfless.
"It was such a large sum
of money that I couldn't
believe it. I knew my life
was going to change
because I could live com-
fortably and pay off debt
from school and our wed-
ding, and I could give back
to my parents and take


care of them and my
brother and sister and
husband's family as well,"
she said.
Mrs. Register and her
husband, who are current-
ly renting, also plan on
buying a home.
Although she doesn't
plan on quitting her job,
"the great thing is that I
was working overtime
every week and now I don't
have to," she said.
And then there is the
matter of a second honey-
moon. Mr. and Mrs. Regis-
ter, who were married in
October, didn't have the
honeymoon they expect-
ed.
"We are definitely going
to take a vacation. Our
honeymoon was ruined.
We went to the Bahamas
and Tropical Storm Noel
was there. We were inside
all week long. On our one
year anniversary, we will
probably be in Europe,"
she said.

Classical

guitarist

returns

to Lyric-

A sa young man in
Greece, Constantinos
S aferis studied the
string bass, but he really
wanted to play the guitar.
He drove his father crazy
with his untrained efforts
and when the great classical
guitarist Andres Segovia
came to Greece, his father
sent him to see how it
should be done.
After seeing Segovia, the
young boy knew that
playing the guitar was all he
wanted to do. His efforts
have taken him around the
world, but he returns home
to Stuart on Jan. 17 for a
concert at the Lyric.
"I saw an instrument with
intense potential," he said.
"Segovia was unbelievable.
It was one of the most
impressive moments of my
life; it opened new horizons
in my mind. My father, a
conductor with the Greek
National Opera, knew the
hardships of the musical
world but he had an open
mind and allowed me to do
what I wanted to do."
A few years later, he had
the opportunity to work
with his father and Mr.
Jaferis put to use the talents
in composition and arrang-
ing he had learned from his
father.
While he has toured the
world playing the guitar, he
is also a composer and has
been commissioned to
write pieces.
"I always have the need to
write," he said. "I write on
napkins, on whatever is in
front of me. I need to
express myself. I'm not a
poet, a writer or a painter.
I'm a musician."
As if those skills were not
enough, Mr. Jaferis took it
upon himself to design a
guitar when he found that
the existing ones didn't
meet his needs.
"People knew that I made
guitars, but I used a
Ramirez. People wanted to
know why I didn't play my
own," he said. "Today, it's a
unique instrument with 27
frets instead of 19.and it has
a higher range that enables
me to play pieces I could
not. I premiered a work I
wrote with the Indian River

BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Ben Jaffe is a keeper of
the flame.
His parents, Sandra and
Allan, visited New Orleans
on their honeymoon and
decided to make it their
home.
In 1961, they purchased
Preservation Hall in the
French Quarter as a means
of keeping the music and
culture of the Crescent
City alive.
Today, in a community
still struggling to rebuild
after Hurricane Katrina, it


is Ben Jaffe's mission to
keep his parents' vision
alive and help the city
come back stronger.
Ben Jaffe brings the
Preservation Hall Jazz
band to the Sunrise
Theatre on Jan. 15; he
spoke by phone from New
Orleans about the concert
and about how the city he
loves is coping with
recovery.
"We've come quite far,"
Mr. Jaffe said. "One of our
efforts is an organization
called 'Renew our Music.'
We've made huge inroads
into insuring the future of

Aries-March 21-April 19
Allow the living brilliance of your own spirit to
awaken your highest dreams and enthusiasm. Get
in touch with the most burning desires in your
heart and manifest them in your life. Then find
ways to give back as you have been given. In the
giving, you receive 10 times more. This is the
supreme law. Wow. This year may be the best ever
for you.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Life for you is like a grand adventure. Take the
extra energy from the past month and focus it on
the primary goals living in your heart and you will
see grand results. You know what you want. You
have the desire. Move it all forward. You are
always helping others. Let the universe help you
now. You must be open to receiving. Let nothing
hold you back.

our cultural traditions, but
most musicians are in the
same boat as most of our
citizens. Citizens and
businesses are still
struggling. We haven't
seen a concerted effort on
behalf of the federal
government to infuse
capital to make the city
what it was.
"The band has been
elevated to a new role
since the hurricane. We
were always the torch-
bearers of New Orleans
jazz; we are now the
cultural ambassadors for
the city. It's a big responsi-


bility, but our mission has
always been to continue
this amazing tradition of
New Orleans jazz.
While Mr. Jaffe and the
Preservation Hall Jazz
Band feel a responsibility
to their city, they want
everyone to remember
that the music is fun.
"We like to think of
ourselves as a good-time
New Orleans jazz band,"
Mr. Jaffe said. "We like to
transport people to
another time and place

theirs. Do not be fooled by outer circumstances. Set
your priorities in order and take care of the most
important ones first. Refuse to let doubt, fear or
indecision block you. Words without action are
empty. Right action brings positive results. Now turn
that spark of hope into a forest fire of creativity.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
What is your response to life in general? Be sure to
say thanks daily for all you have been given. Grati-
tude ensures that much more is on the way. We
are supposed to have plenty. This offsets lack,
which stems from fear in the mind. Since you are
ruled by the heart this will be easy for you to do.
You are well loved in the universe.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
Mighty forces in the universe are working in your
favor right now. Wake up and feel the joy of life. Be
open to change. Consider the larger picture and
long-term results. Rise above any real or imagined
obstacles. Continue to act on your visions. Catch
the current of change and allow it to carry you on
and up to greater heights. Yours is a great life.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You are moving ahead and growing in strength
every day. A whole new level of creativity and
growth will soon open up to you. Now is the time
to go within and ask the universe to give you a
vision for the next six months. Write down your
dreams and goals. Make a mission statement. You
have a generous spirit. Continue to use it and you
will be greatly blessed.

Ben Heppner: A humble


tenor with a huge voice


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
Renowned tenor Ben
Heppner, considered one of
the finest Wagnerian tenors
of his generation, comes
from Dawson Creek, British
Columbia, a town so small
that it had "two television
stations, on and off."
The down-to-earth star
spoke by phone from
Toronto about how he
discovered opera and why
he loves to perform in
concert. He'll be at the Lyric
theatre on Jan. 18, in a
program presented by the
Treasure Coast Concert
Association.
Growing up in a small
Canadian town, Mr. Heppn-
er came in contact with
music from occasional
Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation radio feeds on
Sunday afternoon. He
thought of opera as some-
thing to avoid.
"We had no record player
and I started playing the
trumpet in the school
band," Mr. Heppner said.
"Late at night, on an old
tube radio, I could get an
unbelievable range of
stations from Texas, Chica-
go and Los Angeles. They
would come in and fade
out. I spent a lot of week-
end nights listening to
skipped radio waves. The

Coast Concert Association.


music sent him to the
library, where he worked his
way through popular music
like Santana and Emerson,
Lake and Palmer, and when
he ran out of that, to
Mozart. Although he
studied opera as a minor in
college, it really didn't touch
him then.
"I didn't embrace it until
after university," he said. "I
didn't understand it. It
seemed to say intimate
things so loudly, at fortissi-


mo. Saying 'I love you,' has
huge emotional impact, and
I realized that we portray
the level of the intensity of
the emotion. It's saying
these intimate emotions
with something that carries
emotional weight. It's not
the decibels; it's the way you.
sing it. I understood that
intellectually, but it took a
long time for me to see that
you can make it sound

The tables, set with

are far enough apart that

illusion of being separate
from the main restaurant.

Quick chicken eals can warm the heart on cooler days



Quick chicken meals can warm the heart on cooler days


ARLENE BORG
Romancing the Stove
with the Grammy Guru
ello, smart shoppers.
I hope you had a
good week.
Are you ready for some
delicious, good-for-you
meals? How about chicken-
in the pot? It's a stew with
whole pieces of chicken and
vegetables in a rich broth.
Serve it with low-fat bis-
cuits. I use low-fat biscuit
mix and top them with a
low-fat butter substitute,
and a drizzling of honey. It's
wonderful, satisfying and
easy to make, from the stove
to the table in less than 40
minutes
Another variation of this
recipe is chicken and
dumplings.
Enjoy. See you next week.

CHICKEN IN THE POT
Serves four

1 whole chicken, cut up
or any pieces you choose
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 or 3 stalks celery, cut
into chunks
5 carrots, thickly sliced
3 medium potatoes,
peeled and cut in half
Several sprigs fresh Italian
parsley, chopped, or 1
tablespoon dried
1/2 teaspoon black
pepper
2 shakes garlic powder
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
Water (about 4 cups)
To make this low fat, don't
use wings, or use only
chicken breasts.
Remove all visible skin
and fat from chicken and
soak in cold, salted water for
at least one hour.
Saut6 onions in oil until
golden, adding a little water
if necessary. Rinse and drain
chicken; place in pot. Add
remaining ingredients.
Water should just cover the
chicken aid vegetables.
Cover and cook until;
potatoesware tender. When
the potatoes are done and
the chicken is cooked
through,.taste and adjust
seasonings.
Serve in deep soup bowls
over rice for a heart-
warming meal.

CHICKEN AND
DUMPLINGS
Follow base recipe for
chicken in the pot. Omit
potatoes and use only 3
cups water. You can leave
the chicken on the bone or
de-bone it and cut it into
chunks. Codk until chicken
is done and vegetables are
tender, about 30 minutes.


Shake about 3 table-
spoons of flour and 1 cup
water in a jar. Thicken gravy
until desired consistency is
reached. Add more water if
necessary.
Serve with dumplings
(recipe follows).

DUMPLINGS
Serves four
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking
powder
1 large egg
2/3 cup milk (regular,
low-fat or skim)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
(optional)
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
2 cups chicken broth
(homemade, canned or
boullion)
Sift dry ingredients
together. Add egg, milk, oil,
parsley, pepper and seeds.
Mix well; batter will be stiff.
In a separate pot, bring
the chicken broth to a boil.
Drop dumpling mixture by
tablespoons into boiling
broth. Lower heat and cover
tightly. Cook 18 minutes. Do
not raise cover during
cooking time and be sure to
keep that heat very low.
Note: When I'm making
chicken and dumplings I
never put the dumplings in
the same pot as the chicken
because they absorb all the
gravy.


QUICK OR LOW-FAT
DUMPLINGS
Biscuit mix may be used for
quick dumplings. Follow
package directions, add
seasonings as directed in
dumpling recipe.
Also, you can make
dumplings using low-fat


biscuit mix. Be sure to check
all brands. Some low-fat
mixes, such as Pioneer, are
much lower in fat than others.

DIRECTOR: TONY DELLA ROCCA
/In this touching romantic comedy set in the early 1920's, four English
women, tired of foggy, rain-soaked London and fed up with their mun-
dane lives, decide to spend an "enchanted" month in sun-drenched Italy.
Amid the earthier Mediterranean surroundings, each finds happiness
after rediscovering new truths about themselves.

for audiences of all ages,
because the tradition of
New Orleans jazz is to pass
it to the next generation.
"It's so much fun to
'perform for older and
younger audiences," he
said. "For the older ones, it's
songs they grew up with on
the radio. For the younger,
it's hearing the classics for
the first time, songs like 'Bill
Bailey,' 'Tiger'Rag' and
'Basin Street Blues.'We
encourage all ages to attend
our shows. In New Orleans,


grandparents bring grand-
children to our shows.
That's how we pass on our
traditions. It's our responsi-
bility to bring music to the
young ones. We still hold
cultural events close to our
hearts and wear our pride
on our sleeves."

composers, some Bach and

the conversation is going to
be or what people will ask.
The people are my guests
and we're going to have a

of my year because it is my
hometown."

Four Bitchin' Babes at
the Sunrise
If you're looking for a fun
way to spend Saturday
night, the Sunrise Theatre
has Four Bitchin' Babes in
their new musical, "Hor-
monal Imbalance: A Mood
Swinging Musical Revue."
Sally Fingerett, one of the
original members, spoke by
phone from Columbus
Ohio, about the show, which
features Ms. Fingerett, Debi
Smith, Nancy Moran and
Deirdre Flint, "best friends
from childhood who didn't
meet until we were profes-
sional performers."
Describing the evening as
"Carole King meets James
Taylor meets Woody Allen
meets Erma Bombeck," Ms.
Fingerett says that the show


features songs and skits
about all aspect of a
woman's life. That might be
enough to send men
screaming, but Ms. Fin-
gerett wants men to know
that they are welcome.
"We love men," she said.
"It's men-friendly. If you
want to know how women
think, come see us. They
come kicking and scream-
ing, but they love it. There
are lots of secrets we let
them in on. We even have a
funny, loving song about
Viagra."
Four Bitchin Babes will be
at the Sunrise for an 8 p.m.
show on Jan. 12. If you've
ever laughed about hot
flashes or flat chests and
there's a song called "The
Boob Fairy," you're going to
laugh some more.

tender even if it carries. You
also have to get through the
85 members of the orches-
tra to get to the audience.
Although Mr. Hepprier
has won fame as a helden,
or heroic tenor, capable of
singing the demanding
Wagnerian roles, he does
not like to pigeonholed.
"It's a trap that can be
very limiting," he said.
"With the label, people
won't think of you for other
interesting voices. Not
every voice falls in the box.
Some roles were supposed
to be too low for me, and I
was surprised that I was
able to sing them.
"As a heroic tenor, you
must be able to sing as if
you're lifting a piano at the
same time. There's a
tendency to make it your
hallmark all of the time, and
it takes a lot of energy and a
toll on the vocal cords. I
want a bigger palate."
For the Lyric concert, Mr.
Heppner draws from his
extensive repertoire.
"I'll sing some folk songs,
first, to draw people in, and
then some Grieg, Sibelius,
and Tchaikovsky," he said.
"After the intermission, I'll
sing three arias, including a
Wagner, because that's what
I'm supposed to do, Mas-
sanet, and Nessun dorma
from 'Turandot.' Then I'll
finish the concert with some
English parlor songs that are


piness. This is so important
because it psyches you up
and gives you the added
boost to keep on keeping on.
Your active, searching mind is
like radar, constantly honing
in on winning ideas that
bring you more wonderful
rewards. If the rest of us only
had your focus and drive.

audience, telling stories,
making up the talk as I go
along. My accompanist
usually rolls his eyes
because it's silly'or because
he's heard it before."'
Mr. Heppner also remi-
nisced about two giants,
Beverly Sills and Luciano
Pavarotti, who died this year.
"Beverly Sills was fun to


from when needed. You have
the necessary grit and deter-
mination to keep on going
when you have challenges to
face, deal with and over-
come. Get things done in a
timely manner. Then take a
break, get recharged and re-
centered. Keep on reinvent-
ing yourself. Now your life is a
splendid adventure.

be around and a hard
worker. She brought her joy
of life to her singing," he
said. "Pavarotti was an
amazing singer. As an actor,
with, all love and respect, he
had no flexibility. He said
everything with that voice.
It was a shining light when
he sang. We don't have
anyone with that unique
quality who shines as no
one else does."

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

NO. 1
CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION
ARTICLE VII, SECTIONS 3, 4, AND 6
ARTICLE XII, SECTION 27
(Legislative)

Property Tax Exemptions; Limitations On Property Tax Assessments
This revision proposes changes to the State Constitution relating to property taxation. With respect to homestead property, this
revision: (1) increases the homestead exemption except for school district taxes and (2) allows homestead property owners to
transfer up to $500,000 of their Save-Our-Homes benefits to their next homestead. With respect to nonhomestead property, this
revision (3) provides a $25,000 exemption for tangible personal property and (4) limits assessment increases for specified
nonhomestead real property except for school district taxes.
In more detail, this revision:
(1) Increases the homestead exemption by exempting the assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000. This
exemption does not apply to school district taxes.
(2) Provides for the transfer of accumulated Save-Our-Homes benefits. Homestead property owners will be able to
transfer their Save-Our-Homes benefit to a new homestead within 1 year and not more than 2 years after relinquishing their
previous homestead; except, if this revision is approved by the electors in January of 2008 and if the new homestead is
established on January 1, 2008, the previous homestead must have been relinquished in 2007. If the new homestead has a
higher just value than the previous one, the accumulated benefit can be transferred; if the new homestead has a lower just
value, the amount of benefit transferred will be reduced. The transferred benefit may not exceed $500,000. This provision
applies to all taxes.
(3) Authorizes an exemption from property taxes of $25,000 of assessed value of tangible personal property. This
provision applies to all taxes.
(4) Limits the assessment increases for specified nonhomestead real property to 10 percent each year. Property will
be assessed at just value following an improvement, as defined by general law, and may be assessed at just value following a
change of ownership or control if provided by general law. This limitation does not apply to school district taxes. This limitation is
repealed effective January 1, 2019, unless renewed by a vote of the electors in the general election held in 2018.
Further, this revision:
a. Repeals obsolete language on the homestead exemption when it was less than $25,000 and did not apply
uniformly to property taxes levied by all local governments.
b: Provides for homestead exemptions to be repealed if a future constitutional amendment provides for assessment
of homesteads "at less than just value" rather than as currently provided "at a specified percentage" of just value.
c. Schedules the changes to take effect upon approval by the electors and operate retroactively to January 1, 2008, if
approved in a special election held on January 29, 2008, or to take effect January 1, 2009, if approved in the general election
held in November of 2008. The limitation on annual assessment increases for specified real property shall first apply to the 2009
tax roll if this revision is approved in a special election held on January 29, 2008, or shall first apply to the 2010 tax roll if this
revision is approved in the general election held in November of 2008.

Area coach sings a familiar

By JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer
It's not beyond possibility
that Andre McIntyre and his
brood were the inspiration
for Sister Sledge's "We Are
Family."
The youngest of 1li, McIn-
tyre has six sisters ad four


S:brothers. The Port SttLucie
resident also has around 105
nieces and nephews.

over John CArroll. The Tigers
followed that up with three
strong victories over Fort
Pierce Westwood, Mel-
bourne Central Catholic and
Port St. Lucie to move to 4-0.
"A goal of ours was to start
off strong," McIntyre said.
"We expected to win
games."
The Tigers reeled off four
more wins, including a vic-
tory of county rival South
Fork for its best start since
starting the 1982-83 season
at 8-0.
Unfortunately, Martin
County's attempt at nine
straight was thwarted by
W.T. Dwyer.
"I am confident that we
have enough veteran play-
ers to bounce back after a
tough loss," McIntyre said.
That is exactly what the
Tigers did, sending Sebast-
ian River to a 74-67 defeat to
put Martin County in the
win column once again.
."- 'The kids responded
Well," McIntyre said.
Since then, the Tigers
have been equally as
impressive. Martin Country
dominated its way through
the Hall-A-Fame Classic,


winning the championship
with a 73-53 victory over
Oviedo-Hagerty to go to 12-
1.
"It's the best start I've had
as a coach," McIntyre said.
"We're working hard and
trying to get better each day
and each game to position *
ourselves for the district
tournament."
Putting in the extra effort
has been an attribute of
McIntyre's since as far back
as he can remember.
"I was always very com-
petitive," McIntyre said. "In
my family, all my brothers
played ball"
After getting his first taste
of team basketball in fourth
grade, the Indiantown
native played in middle
school before heading to the
next level.
"I played as a freshman
and sophomore at Martin
County," McIntyre said. "I
moved up to varsity the last
part of sophomore year."
After two seasons with the
Tigers, McIntyre got the
news that he would be fin-
ishing off his high school
career at another school -
the newly opened South
Fork.
"I was zoned to go to
South Fork," McIntyre said.
"It was an easy transition
from the beginning.
"I was excited about
opening up a new school."
While McIntyre was
ecstatic about his new team,
many of the squads suiting
up against the' Bulldogs
were not. In just its second
year of existence, South Fork
defied the odds and earned
an invitation to add a cham-
pionship to its quickly grow-
ing list of achievements.
"Going to the state tour-
nament in 1984, my senior
year, it was exciting," McIn-
tyre said. "Being as competi-
tive as I was, I didn't look at.
us as a new school.
"I looked at us as a group
of players who deserved' to
be in state tournament."
Although the Bulldogs fell
to Tampa Jesuit by five in the
semifinals, it was an experi-
ence that is still etched in
McIntyre's mind.
"I'll never forget," McIn-
tyre said. "I remember the
stats from that game.
"I had 22 points, nine
rebounds and nine assists. I
made first team all-state."
South Fork's final record
of 27-5 still stands as one of
the best seasons in school
history.
"It was exciting," McIntyre
said.
After his successful high-
school career, McIntyre
moved on to Liberty Univer-
sity, where he continued to
ply his trade on the hard-
wood.
"My parents were happy
that I settled on Liberty,"
McIntyre said. "During that
time, I was just happy to go
to school.
"It was a great experience.
Coming from a small town I
loved traveling to different
parts of the country.
"I almost enjoyed travel-
ing more than playing."
Unfortunately, a coaching
change led McIntyre to
transfer to West Virginia
after two seasons where he
finished his collegiate
career.
"It was a great experi-
ence," McIntyre said. "I
started four years of college
ball."
Still wanting to' pursue his
passion, McIntyre headed
down south to Miami to try
to catch on with the Heat.
"Anybody who plays
sports dreams of playing at
the professional level,"
McIntyre said.
"Just the opportunity to
put a professional practice
uniform was a great experi-
ence.
"It was a dream."
Despite falling short of his
goal, McIntyre wanted to
stay involved with the sport,
so he did the next best thing
and delved into coaching.
"It' was very different,"
McIntyre said. "I didn't have

Andre McIntyre begins his
" 13th year as the Martin
County High School boy's
basketball coach with a 12-
1 record for the 2007-2008
season.

any idea of what I was
doing.
"When I played, I was in
control of what was going
on. When you're a coach,
you have a different influ-
ence being on the side-
lines and encouraging the
kids."
McIntyre coached the
freshman team at South
Fork and led 'the 1988-89
team to a 15-5 record. After
three seasons, he moved up
to the junior varsity squad
where he spent another


three campaigns.
"When the coaching bug
hits you, you start enjoying
it more," McIntyre said.
While continuing to grow
in his-profession, McIntyre
earned his first shot at a
varsity head coaching posi-
tion. Only the chance was-
n't at South Fork, but Mar-
tin County.
"I was so excited at hav-
ing the opportunity to
coach at Martin County,
knowing their tradition."
McIntyre continued his
winning ways, leading the
Tigers to a 18-9 mark and a
conference championship
in his first season. Since


then, he has built Martin
County into one of the most
respected programs in the
state.
"Martin County basket-
ball should be one of the
elite programs in the state,"
McIntyre said. "When you
think Martin County, you
should think of the best
teams."
While McIntyre has set-
tled into his role quite nice-
ly, a higher position, possi-
bly at the next level is not
out of question.
"I'm now married with
kids," McIntyre said. "But
never say never. In any pro-
'fession, you would like to
move up.
