Mayor meets with residents on river crossing


BY RITA HART
Staff writer


PORT ST. LUCIE Port
St. Lucie Mayor Patricia
Christensen is seeking sig-
natures to send to the
state to jumpstart the
process to build the long-
awaited bridge over the St.
Lucie River.
At a Jan. 9 meeting in
the clubhouse of the Villas
of Village Green in Port St.
Lucie, the mayor spoke to
a crowd of approximately
100 about a task force
petition drive dubbed "IC
for Me."
The purpose of the peti-
tion is to pressure the
state for the permits need-
ed to build the bridge


crossing the St. Lucie
River that would result in
another east-west corri-
dor through the city.
"As you all know, we are
on a petition drive to
encourage the state,
Department of Trans-
portation and Depart-
ment of Environmental
Protection to finally give
the city the permits need-
ed to build the Crosstown
Parkway bridge," said
Mayor Christensen.
Currently, the city does
not have the permits
required from state and
federal agencies to build a.
bridge over the river, con-
necting Manth Drive with
U.S. 1. Without those per-
mits, the six-lane road


known as the Crosstown
Parkway will end at 1-95 to
the west and Manth Drive
to the east.
There are three possible
routes across the river the
bridge could take, should
those permits be awarded.
According to Mayor Chris-'
tensen, the state would
decide which one of those
routes is chosen.
The route choices are
1C, which would connect
Manth Drive with Village
Green Drive; 6A, a more
northern ,route that con-
nects with Savannah Club
Boulevard; and 2A, which
would connect to Walton
Road.
Mayor Christensen
believes route 1C is the

Lawnwood serving

FORT PIERCE As part
of the plans to mark its 30th
anniversary, Lawnwood
Regional Medical Center &
Heart Institute offered a free
lunch and health tests to St.
Lucie County residents.
The hospital observed the
event on Jan. 15 at its Fort
Pierce center, located at
1700 S. 23rd St.
It opened its doors on Jan.
3, 1978, but pushed the offi-
cial anniversary celebration
by about two weeks to avoid
the busy holiday season,
said director of marketing
Beth Williams.
The Jan. 15th event kicked
off at 9 a.m. and ended at
about 1 p.m. to allow resi-
dents to chat with hospital
officials and medical staff,
eat lunch and get free health
tests.
"We're committed to our
community, and we're here
to serve," Ms. Williams said.
The health screenings
included a non-fasting glu-
cose test, balance evalua-
tions, pulse oximetry test-
ing, blood pressure checks,
and free flu shots, courtesy
of the St. Lucie County
Health Department, she
said.
Hospital officials encour-
aged residents to bring lists
of their current medications
to participate in the "Ask a
Pharmacist" service.


Nursing staff were also on
hand to discuss common
health conditions, such as
heart failure and stroke.
"We've done all the things
that a community hospital
has to do to meet the needs
of the residents and the
visors. We are very proud of
how the hospital has
evolved in terms of quality
of care," she said.
The hospital won the
HealthGrades 2008 Coro-
nary Intervention Excel-
lence Award, the Stroke Care
Excellence Award from 2005
to 2008 and the 2008
HealthGrades General
Surgery Excellence Award.
It also ranked in the top 5
percent of hospitals in the
country for cardiac and
stroke care, an independent
study revealed.
The Fort Pierce-based
facility scored a five-star fat-
ing, placing it in the top 250
of the 5,000 hospitals in the
U.S., reported research firm,
HealthGrades.
Golden, Colo.-based
HealthGrades ranks hospi-
tals by collecting Medicare
data on patients' diagnoses.
It then compares the
severity of illnesses, compli-
cations, deaths and recov-
ery.

Sen. Nelson awards Purple


Hearts to two area men


BY RITA HART
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE -- Sen.
Bill Nelson was able to
enjoy one of the perks of
his office during a recent
town hall meeting in St.
Lucie West.
Sen. Nelson (D-Fla.)
introduced two veterans
as heroes before present-
ing them each with a Pur-
ple Heart, the oldest
award still bestowed on
military members. The
ceremony took place on
Jan. 9, at Indian River
Community College's
Schreiber Conference
Center.
"One of the great


delights I have is when I
find out about a veteran
who has not received
their proper recognition,"
said Sen. Nelson. "I don't
find out from them,
because they are too
humble. I find out about
it from their children
years later. Now let me
tell you about these two
heroes."
Sen. Nelson then intro-
duced Okeechobee resi-
dent and former Marine
Corporal Bob Glenn, and
Port St. Lucie resident
and former Army Staff
Sgt. Rick Chess.
Corp. Glenn is a veteran
of World War II. He-enlist-
ed when he was only 15-


years-old, lying about ,his
age to do so.
"My mother was sick
during the Depression,"
said Corp. Glenn. "I had
brothers and sisters. A lot
of kids joined because
they found out they could
get money. I sent $37 a
month to my mother after
I joined."
Chester Glenn was pres-
ent to see his father
awarded the Purple
Heart.
"He was only a baby when
he enlisted," said Mr. Glenn,
of Fort Lauderdale. "You
could write a screenplay
based on his, experiences."

there that much of a mistake

was. But some of it was a
massage.
"I want to give you an

cal or chemical weapons.

Corp.. Glenn had already
been wounded once dur-
ing the war. After the
Marine Corp "patched him
up," he was sent to Iwo

In February of 1945, he
was inside a shell hole.
"Over my shoulder a
grenade came over the
edge and rolled between
my legs. Needless to say, I
did my best to get away
from it," said Corp. Glenn,
who suffered permanent
injuries to his arm.
Corp. Glenn's family
members said for years, he
would not talk about his
wartime experiences. That
all changed when he began
attending veteran reunions
each February.
"I've been meeting with
veterans. Most of them are
Vietnam vets; they call me
'Pop," said Corp. Glenn.
Staff Sgt. Chess was a
non-commissioned officer
in the Vietnam War. ..
"Because they were short

nam, they had him on the

trap and tripped one. It
was a grenade, and it did
some severe damage."
Some of the worst dam-
age was to his mouth.
"The roof of my mouth

Sgt. Chess.
He also suffered shrapnel
wounds to his intestines,

Be careful of spelling in family trees


remember my father
always saying, "Their
family is not related to us,
they spell their name differ-

It didn't take me long after
starting my research to
discover why my grandmoth-
er's name was different. For
some reason, her father
decided to change the "e" to
an "i." His brothers kept the
traditional spelling.
Following my father's,
instructions, those uncles
would not be related to us and
I would be at an even higher

Don't make the common
mistake of getting hung up on
the exact spelling of your

When looking for your

your imagination be your

Variations in spelling can
vary from person to person,
family groups, generations,

depend on the person trying

Shoe store in The Landing
at Tradition is robbed

The assistant manager of the Famous Shoe Store,
located at The Landing at Tradition, was the only
employee in the store when two men entered on Jan. 4.
As the employee followed the men around the store
asking if they needed assistance, one of the men alleged-
ly concealed two pairs of tennis shoes under his jacket,
while the second pointed "what appeared to be a
weapon" from under his jacket at the employee, telling
the employee not to move, according to the police
report.
The two suspects then left the store and the assistant
manager called police.
Both suspects are described as white. The first was

ing a pair of Nike tennis shoes and a dark rain jacket.
The second suspect was "medium sized" and also
wore a dark rain jacket.

Uorm r not helped Gov. Crist, you are
I not getting a lot of relief from
C your insurance companies.
Clinic By the way, I'm talking bipar-
tisan; I just told you to sup-
ent today port Gov. Crist on this issue. I
;h think you ought to haul in
your state legislators and put
them on the hot seat and say,
'Why aren't you supporting
Gov. Crist on my insurance
rates?' They haven't.
"In January of '07, they go
into a special session and say
we are going to lower insur-
ance rates. Then they go into
the regular session in March
dio and start to undo what they
just did in January, because
there's not a more powerful
lobby in Tallahassee than the
insurance lobby.
"So what you have is maybe
a reduction of a little bit or
you suddenly only had a
choice, if you live close to the
water, of going into a quasi-
government insurance com-
pany, which is not properly
capitalized. And if it's not
properly capitalized and the
big one hits and it has to start
paying all of those claims,
which is the backup for it?
"The backup is .a state law
that says that every property
4 and casualty policy holder in
the state of Florida who are
not only homeowners but
also automobile owners as
well are going to get assessed
for that payout, and when
that happens, you are all
going to be up in arms.
"Notice I didn't say 'if' that


happens; it will happen
because the big one will
eventually hit."
Sen. Nelson said he and
Sen. Martinez have filed a "six
pack" of bills, including a
national catastrophic fund
bill.
"We are trying to get at least
a bill consensus and' emer-
gency commission that will
build consensus and alleviate
the problem," said Sen. Nel-
son. "Maybe it's not national
catastrophic, maybe it's a
combination. Maybe it's fed-
eral incentives that need to
go to a region, and cities that
need to go to a region like the
Gulf Coast and combine their
resources. Maybe it's chang-
ing the tax code so you can
reserve the catastrophic, or
an insurance company can
reserve catastrophic and it
would be non-taxable. That's
part of the six-pack of bills
that we filed."

"First of all, the nation clearly
has a responsibility to control
its borders," said Sen. Nelson.


"But the question is obvious-
ly more than just that. We
have 12 million illegal aliens
estimated to be in the coun-
try, who have become a vital
part of the economics of the
country. Take for example,
agriculture, the tourism
industry and construction.
We need to have a system
by which they become legal
and at the same time not
harm the economy.
"Now here is the $64,000
question: How to craft a com-
promise that says there's a
pathway to legalization that
you can become legal and be
-a part of this country and
help those industries that
need that labor pool, but at
the same time you've got to
payyour dues, and you've got
to pay back-taxes, you've got
to learn English, you can't
have a criminal record. Oth-

here a political moderate is
trying to build consensus to/
get something done and he
hasn't been able to. The only
thing we've been able to do is
pass border protection, a
fence and virtual fence.
*The border fence "The
border fence part of the
immigration bill was passed.
That is in law; it is beginning
to be funded," said Sen. Nel-
son. "A year ago we passed
funding for the beginning of
construction of a fence. It's
much more than a fence. It's
also in many cases the uti-
lization of technology as a
virtual fence, where you have
electronic sensors, where you
have overhead, unmanned
aerial vehicles, significant
expansion of the border
patrol, an expansion of hold-
ing facilities for those who
are apprehended.
"What they'd do in the past
was apprehend them and
have no place to hold them;
so they're gone and in the

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

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

Turn it down or turn it off

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

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

Give Pete Rose a chance
For those who closely follow baseball (I don't), it is sad to find
those who many look up to going down the wrong path.
Those taking steroids and performance drugs have given
those who are now playing, and those who have made their
mark on the sport, a disadvantage.
In Mr. Mitchell's report we find that many more players than
Barry Bonds are guilty of using drugs to enhance their per-
formance.

never happened. His crime was betting, and not drugs. If
according to Mr. Mitchell, there is too much of a tangled web to
sort out drug offenders, lets have a closer look at Pete Rose,
whose crime was betting.
The BBWAA should give him another shot at the Hall of
Fame.

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

Letters


Dear Residents of St. Lucie County:

On Jan. 29, there will be a statewide Referendum regard-
ing Property Tax Reform. The Referendum will have four
major components:
Double Homestead Exemption up to $50,000
Save Our Homes Portability
Tangible Personal Property Exemption up to $25,000
S10 percent Assessmmet Cap for Non-Homestead Property
If approved, the statewide average homeowners sav-
ings is $240 a year from the proposed increased home-
stead exemption, which will equal 67 cents a day.
The state estimates that the Property Tax Reform will
cost St. Lucie County government $94.9 million over the
next five years. This number excludes the City of Fort
Pierce and Port St. Lucie. It also excludes the St. Lucie


County Fire District. These government entities are
responsible for developing their own budgets and, will
also be affected should this Referendum be approved.
School taxes would not be reduced by the increased
homestead exemption or the assessment cap on non-
homesteaded properties.
At this time, as a result of the Property Tax Reform
approved by the State Legislature this past June and the
continued decrease in property values, St. Lucie County
has frozen 81 unfilled positions and as people leave, this
number will continue to increase. Also, the St. Lucie
County Sheriff's Office, which the County funds, has 40
frozen unfilled positions.
The Citizens' Budget Development Committee con-
sisting of your neighbors who are appointed to serve by
the Board of County Commissioners meets monthly and


continues to review and monitor the County's annual
budget.
We are of the opinion that with the cutbacks already
made within the budget, that should the Property Tax
Reform be approved in January, that it will result not
only in a.reduction in County services, but will also have
a negative impact on our local economy.
Currently the County has contracts for outside work
that total approximately $81 million. Many of these con-
tracts are with local firms such as pest control, equip-
ment maintenance contracts, median and right-of-way
mowing, engineering services, temporary employment
services, construction contracts such as the new Clerk of

meaningful tax reform.
Much is being said bymany
about the Jan. 29 amend-
ment, both pro and con. The
"spin" is on.
Some say it doesn't do
enough, some say it does too
much, others say it really isn't
needed at all. It's getting hard
to figure who is spinning
what.
Some.who were for it
before are against it now. I
think both citizens and local
governments sent a lot of.
mixed signals to the legisla-
ture. Alot of people tellme
they're confused. .
The Jan. 29 amendment
offers four tax reform solu-
tions:
It creates "portability" of
the Save Our Homes benefit, *
up to $500,000. You will be
able to move without
property tax penalty, taking
your SOH benefit with you to
the next home. It applies
retroactively to those who
had the exemption as of Jan.
1, 2007 and moved into
another home within two
years.
Everyone with a home-
stead exemption will receive a
property tax cut of roughly
$295, as each Florida resident
owner receives a second "
$25,000 exemption (applying
after $50,000 in value) .This
does not apply to school taxes
(meaning the added exemp-
tion is effectively a little more
than $15,000).
All non-homesteaded
properties (all other proper-
ties) receive a SOH-like value


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


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

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

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


and methodologies of reform.
A short year ago, many
were joyous to see "tax
reform" on the legislative
agenda and now oppose one,
form of reform versus
another. One could say the
rubber has hit the road as
individuals and tax reform
groups begin to clearly see
and define their own "devil in
the details" as tax reform
continues to evolve.
The American Revolution
began, in part, as a revolt
against unfair taxation from
England. The importance of
taxation is such that creation
of new taxes can onlybe done
through our state constitu-
tion. Therefore, significant
changesto constitutional
systems generally involve
constitutional amendments,
only approved by the.
expressed will of the people.
Our own state Legislature
worked diligently through
two special sessions to pass

classroom. She (would) not complete her work. She was
inattentive.
We were very distraught, and tried to work with her constant-
ly to address these and homework issues. We would be up
sometimes until 9 p.m. doing simple homework problems with
her. By the time our daughter was in second grade, both the
teacher and the guidance counselor suggested I go to a class on
ADHD given by our local community college. There I met many
people who have ADHD and also those with children who have
(it): I met someone who was having (his/her) child tested at a
clinic. We went to Columbia Clinic in Royal Palm Beach. Our


daughter was evaluated by two social workers, a psychologist
and a psychiatrist at separate visits over a period of time.
After that, they got together to discuss their findings. Our
daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. After this diagnosis and
the start of treatment withADHD medication, we saw an
immediate difference in our child's attention, and her grades
improved.
I ask this person who doesn't like children taking medication,
"Do you have any idea what it feels like to have a child with
ADHD?"
It makes you feel like you are doing something wrong. Our


life was always in turmoil until we started our daughter on the
medication.
My husband and I have always tried to be good parents to
our children, but one child can disrupt everything. Now, my
child is 18 years old. When she doesn't take her medication, I
can tell by noon. Children with ADHD do not grow out of it.
They learn to adapt and control it, usually with medication.
And it's hereditary. My husband's older daughter also has
it.

Teach youths financial responsibility


by setting the correct example


Few topics are as hard
to talk to kids about
as money maybe
because most of us aren't
confident about the
subject ourselves.
Instead, we avoid topics
like how much we earn,
what food and housing
cost, and our financial
arrangements for the
future. By dodging these
subjects we set our kids up
to be as financially con-
fused as we are.
Just because we aren't
teaching our kids about
money, doesn't mean they
aren't spending it.
According to a 2007 CBS
News story, kids between
eight and twelve spend
$30-billion of their own
money every year.
Fortunately, the biggest

An allowance is an
opportunity for your child
to learn about income and
budgeting and a way for
you to get some relief from
their -requests for money
and purchases.
Generally, if a child is old
enough to ask you to buy
things, he or she is old
enough for an allowance.
Even preschoolers can
handle small amounts of
money for personal
purchases.
Now, how much?
Depending on you and
your family's financial
situation, try 504 a week
for each year of age (an
eight year old would
receive $4 a week). Or give
your child an amount
equal to his or her grade in
school ($3 a week for a
third grader).
Set a budget:
Help your child learn to
manage money by setting
a budget. List all of the
expenses you have
approved and how much
money should go to each,
balancing savings, charity,
and gifts with fun items.
Whatever budget you set,
stick to it. Children are less
likely to hold on to their
money if they know you
will help them when they
run out. If your child runs
out of money, use it as an
opportunity to talk about
the consequences of
overspending.
Teach saving:
Once they live with a


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

Company fuses science, nature



to provide best water possible


BY KEVIN CROCILLA
For Hometown News

FORT LAUDERDALE A
Fort Lauderdale-based
company is making it easi-
er and environmentally
safer for consumers to get
the best glass of drinking
water possible.
Since its inception in
2005, WaterPure Interna-
tional has been using "a
fusion of science and
nature" to produce the
cleanest and purest drink-
ing water available
through what are called
atmospheric water genera-
tors, or AWGs.
These AWGs literally
make clean drinking water
out of thin air by harvest-
ing the water out of the
humidity in the earth's
atmosphere.
They closely resemble
water coolers seen in
offices or homes, but elim-
inate the need for replace-
ment and delivery of those
clunky five-gallon water
jugs.
The AWGs operate on
standard 110-volt power in
the U.S., and all that is
needed is a power source.

How it works

The AWG operates on the
fundamental principle
that there is always water
in the air. It is a scientific
fact that there are 102,000
cubic miles of water in the
earth's atmosphere at any
point in time.
First, the AWG draws in
ambient air through an
electrostatic air filter. It
then extracts the water
from the air by a conden-
sation processes.
The, condensed water is
collected in a reservoir and
pumped through a series
of high-technology water
filters designed to remove
odors, unwanted inorganic
materials, unpleasant
tastes and foreign particle
matter that is smaller than
.01 micron.
Finally, the water is
passed through an ultravi-
olet light chamber, or
ozone generator, where it
is cleansed of any micro-
organisms, including all
forms of bacteria, viruses
and other organic materi-
als. This water is then
ready for consumption
from either hot or chilled
chambers: So, consumers
can enjoy tea or coffee of
the highest quality as well
as cold drinking water.


This extensive process of
special filtering assures
the water will not have any
funny tastes or smells and
will be of the purest quali-
ty.
Best of all, the AWG's
computerized control sys-
tem will stop generating
water when full, but will
continue to circulate the
water 24 hours a day to
maintain purity and fresh-
ness. The only require-
ment for the machines to
work is a temperature of 70
or higher and a humidity
rate of at least 40 percent.
This makes them perfect
for the southeastern sec-
tion of the U.S., especially
Florida.
Besides providing the
best water available ,
WaterPure identifies many
problems associated with
conventional methods of
receiving drinking water
and hopes to eliminate
them in the future.
For example, no one real-
ly knows everything about
the source from which
drinking water comes. All
the consumer really has to
go on is what the label
says. And it seems that all
bottled water available in
stores always comes from
the purest and cleanest
natural springs. A con-
sumer drinking WaterPure
can always be sure of
where the water is coming
from: right out of the air
they are breathing. No
more worrying about the
water source, or if it's con-
taminated.
When bottled water sits,
chemicals migrate from
plastic during storage. It's
important to make sure
bottled water hasn't been
sitting around. Also, the
difficult task of loading,
carrying and storing jugs is
eliminated. No more heavy
lifting and no more huge
spills all over the floor.
Lastly, WaterPure's meth-
ods are far cheaper than
buying water from a store
or having it delivered.
Water delivered to homes
in five-gallon jugs cost
$1.25 to $1.75 per gallon
and bottled water bought
in stores works out to
between $2.25 to $3. On
the average, a gallon of
WaterPure water costs
about 10 cents to produce.
"The response has been
great and I think the
industry is going to be
huge," said Brian Lee
Allen, WaterPure Interna-


tional chief operations
officer.
Using a digital water
purity tester, water from a
- water fountain and three
leading brands of bottled
water were put up against
water poured from an
AWG.
The digital purity tester
measures the total dis-
solved solids in the water.
It is designed to identify
the existence of most met-
als, minerals and inorganic
elements in the water.
Many of these substances
have known and potential
health risks, so the lower
the number, the better.
The reading is expressed in
total dissolved solids in
parts per million.
The results from the test
were very telling:
The drinking water
from WaterPure Interna-
tional's AWG recorded 3
ppm.
The first leading bottled
brand recorded 56 ppm.
The next leading bot-
tled brand recorded 239
ppm
The water from the
drinking fountain record-
ed a 350 ppm.
The last leading bottled
brand recorded a 377 ppm.
WaterPure Internation-
al's 3 ppm. purity rating is
99.9 percent. This far
exceeds the EPA's purity
requirements for human
consumption of drinking
water, which is a maxi-
mum contamination level
of 500 ppm. This includes
well water, but some tap
water has been known to
reach 400 ppm. Well water
has estimates of 100 ppm.
Perhaps the best thing
about WaterPure Interna-
tional is its color: "green
concept." Of course the
water is clear; but the com-
pany has a philosophy
that's .very "green," as in
environmentally safe.
The AWGs eliminate the
need for water delivery
trucks that pump out pol-
lution into the air. They
also eliminate the constant
need to recycle.. According
to WaterPure's Web site, on
average, 38 billion water
bottles are thrown into
landfills per year.
With so many environ-
mental problems in the
world today, water is at the
top of the list when it
comes to crises. While the
majority of people in the
U.S. have an adequate
supply of drinking water,


there are many other parts
of the world where people
aren't so lucky.
According to WaterPure
International's Web site,
more than 2 billion people
on earth do not have a safe
supply of water and less
than 1 percent of the water
supply on earth, can be
used for drinking water.
Close to half of all the peo-
ple in developing coun-
tries are suffering from
health problems caused by
water and sanitation
deficits. This is because
their water is collected
from distant, often pollut-
ed sources.
In hot, humid places such
as Africa, AWGs 'could be a
major step in the right
direction as far as providing
safe, clean drinking water
for struggling citizens.
Water is a human being's
most vital need. If any-
thing happens to the water
supply, there is potential
for widespread panic.
In the case of a hurricane
or other natural disaster,
where the water supply
can potentially be contam-
inated, people immediate-


ly run out to stores to stock
up on bottled water, which
eventually runs out. The
need to boil water every
time it's used is tiring.
Even in today's political
climate, a terrorist attack
on public water supplies is
possible.
WaterPure International
is moving forward to elimi-
nate these risks by provid-
ing healthy, clean and
environmentally friendly
drinking water right out of
thin air. WaterPure's
research and development
team is now expanding on
the design and develop-
ment of commercial and
industrial applications to
help support the water
infrastructure system on
local, state and industrial
levels, while addressing
the needs of pure drinking
water worldwide.

Ask The Jeweler

20th-century
Jewelry

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

Crossing
From page A I


approved, and we need to
tell them very strongly that
we want the West Virginia
route, which is the route
that was always planned,
even going back to when
General Development
Corp. controlled the city.
We want that to be the
river crossing."
Beginning in December,
petitions were forwarded
by residents directly to
officials in Tallahassee.
However, the Mayor said
Tallahassee was sending
the petitions back to her.
As a result, she wants all
petitions and letters sup-
porting the IC bridge sent
to her. When she visits Tal-
lahassee in person in late
February, she plans to take
all the documents with
her.
S"If they see how strongly
this community feels
about the bridge crossing
being 1C, it will make 'a
very, very strong impact,"
she said.
When asked by an audi-
ence member why it is tak-
ing so long for the permits


to be granted, Mayor
Christensen said the
length of the 1C alternative
is one reason.
"The West Virginia cross-
ing, unfortunately, is the
longest crossing across the
river, and that's the hold-
up. They are afraid of what
it will do to the river," she
said.
'However, Mayor Chris-
tensen said the bridge is
being designed to fit in
with the environment.
"It's kind of hard to pic-
ture a six-lane roadway
barreling over the beauti-
ful river and all the nature
that surrounds it, but it
can be designed to work
with what we have there at
the river," she said.
Mayor Christensen envi-
sions a parkway that
includes trails.
"We would actually have
walkways and nature trails
that residents could enjoy'
that they can't enjoy now
because they don't have
access to that portion of
the river," she said.


Mayor Christensen said
residents along the 1C
route, who expected to
have their properties
acquired by the city to
make way for that route,
are living in "limbo" wait-
ing for the permits:
"They've wanted to sell
their properties to the city
for several years now, but
because it's a federalized
project, the state and fed-
eral government will not
let the city purchase their
properties yet. We don't
want the state to come in
and say its going to be one
of these two other routes,
because then the folks in
those neighborhoods will
have to start enduring
what the people along
West Virginia Drive are
now dealing with."
On June 5, 2005, voters
overwhelmingly approved
a bond referendum to fund
the Crosstown Parkway.
"When we began this
process (of applying for
the permits), we were told
it's probably a three-year
process," said Mayor
Christensen. "But in the
time frame when we start-
ed the studies to be able to
go to the permitting
process, they changed the
process. So we just recent-
ly had to go back and begin
studying the same three
crossings."
At the ,meeting; an audi-
ence member asked why
the city wasn't "grandfa-
thered" in under the old


Staff photo by Rita Hart
Mayor Patricia Christensen addresses a crowd at the Villas of Village Green regarding a
petition drive for the approval of permits to allow the construction of the West Virginia 1C
Bridge that would connect the Crosstown Parkway to U.S. 1. With the Mayor are two
members of the task force spearheading the petition drive. From left to right are Mike


Ferrari and Don Nilsson.
permit requirements when
those rules changed.
"One of the reasons we
didn't push that issue is
the day that the state gives
us the permits, whatever
crossing that is, we believe
there will be a group that
will file a suit to try to stop
the crossing, because there
is a group out there that
wants no river crossing.
They're afraid whatever
crossing is approved, it will
harm the river," said
Mayor Christensen.
Mayor Christensen said
as of Jan. 9, more than
2,000 signatures had been
collected on petitions ask-
ing that the IC route be
approved, and there is no
question this is the route
she wants.
However,' she said the
city has to stay neutral on
the issue.
"The city has to stay
neutral. When I say 'the

city,' I'm saying the city
administration has to stay
neutral, because they have
to be able to sit in front of
DEP and say 'it was our
wacky mayor' (that wanted
this route), it wasn't us. As
much as they would like to,
and t hey wholeheartedly
support this whole project,
they have to stay neutral
because they have to be
.able to say they, didn't try
to convince anybody that
one river crossing was bet-
ter than the other," said
Mayor Christensen.
City Manager Don Coop-
er referred all calls to
Mayor Christensen when
contacted for this article.
Mayor Christensen said
funding for the river cross-
ing would come, from sev-
eral sources. She said sev-
eral years ago, the federal
government designated
$20 million to build a
bridge over the Indian
River to Hutchison Island.
When that project was
killed, Sen. Ken Pruitt
assisted in getting the
money transferred from
the Indian River bridge
project to the Crosstown
Parkway bridge project.
In addition, Mayor
Christensen said new
funding became available
within the last year
through DOT.
"With the help of myself,
Vice Mayor Kelly, Council-
man (Chris) Cooper and
Councilwoman (Michelle)
Berger, who sit on the
Tralisportation Planning
Organization, and county
commissioners, several
representatives from the
Fort Pierce city comnlis-
sion and school district, we
got all of those folks to
agree that this new funding
mechanism that will
become available in 2010,
totaling $9.5 million, will
go to the Crosstown Park-
way Bridge, so we've got
close to $30 million set
aside for that project," she
said.
This is in addition to any
money left from the. $165
million that is currently
designated for that section
of the Crosstown Parkway


that ends at Manth Drive.
"This should have been
enough to do the project
three years ago, if they had
permitted it when we
started the project, but for
every month that goes up,
the costs will go up," said
Mayor Christensen.
Another reason Mayor
Christensen wants to see
the approval of the bridge
permits as quickly as pos-
sible is time.
"If we got the permits
today to build that bridge,
it would be four years
before a car drove across
it," she said.
This news surprised Rus-
sell and Louise Bell, Villas
of Village Green residents
who were in the audience.
"She knows her informa-
tion well," Mr. Bell said of
the Mayor, "but even she
doesn't think it's going to
be done soon. It's discour-'
aging."
Mrs. Bell agreed. "I was
shocked at how long it will
take," she said.
Mayor Christensen said
this is the exact reason the
petition drive is necessary.
"That's the reason why
this is so important. When
we started this study
process to get the permits
approved, we were told it
would be three years. Well,
it's been three years and,
we still aren't any closer to
getting those permits than
we were three years ago,
with one exception.'In the
(first) two and a half weeks
that the petitions were
.going to Tallahassee and
the Governor's office, Don
Cooper got a call and had
to go down to DOT. They
said to him, 'What are you
doing?' and he explained
that it wasn't him, it was
his 'wacky' mayor.
"I'm taking all the credit
and I'm taking all the
blame, but we need to get
this done and we need to
continue sending that
message back," she said.

the petition and letter drive
for the approval of the West
Virginia 1C Bridge, visit

The New Year is a time

children, which I've adapt-

Their suggestions are a
good starting point. Even
for the littlest ones, there's
something they can do to
take care of themselves.
For older kids, it might
be a good idea to let them
make a list of some things
they could do to be safer
and healthier in the New
Year, and if they get
stumped, some of the
academy's suggestions
might help them get
started on their own

list.


Preschoolers
I will clean up my toys.
I will brush my teeth
two times a day and will
wash my hands after going
to the bathroom and before

I won't tease any dogs,
even if they're friendly, so
that I won't get bitten.
I'll try to be nice to my
baby brother or sister.

Be careful when

training vine plants


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

Mandevilla
Mandevilla vines are a
great, colorful choice for a
garden and they make a
great backdrop if you are
using them to grow up a
fence or arbor.
Mandevilla plants grow
best if they have partial
sunshine or filtered sun
through the branches of a
tree. They thrive best in a
rich, well-drained soil
with organic substances,
such as manure, added to
the mixture.


JOE ZELENAK
Garden Nook

You can increase the
bushiness of the plant by
pinching back some of the
new growth as the plant
begins to climb.
One of the biggest
problems you may
encounter with a Mandev-
illa is aphids.
- Aphids are microscopic
insects that tend to cluster
around the flowers and
also on the new growth.
They do their damage
when they suck the juices
out of the plant and the
plant starts to starve for
nutrients.
These pests can be
controlled by using a
systemic insecticide, such
as Orthene or Orthenex.
Mandevilla do not
tolerate severe cold and
need to be protected or
covered if temperatures
fall below 45 degrees.

Passion flowers

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

Caught in the act, the men
left the objects behind and
reportedly fled before police
arrived. Because it was dark,
the homeowner could not
describe the suspects,
except to say they drove off
in a large SUV or Suburban
vehicle.

Passion flowers can also
be successfully grown in
containers. )
Container plants should
not be put in direct sun, but
rather, have a filtered light
source.

Morning Glories

Another plant that I
have personally experi-
mented with are Morning
Glories. Although these
plants will probably not be
readily available, you can
easily-plant them from
seed.
Since these plants do
not like to be transplant-
ed, you should sow the
seeds where you are going
to permanently keep the


plants.
Prior to planting, you
should soak the seeds
overnight in room-
temperature water in
order to soften the.hulls
'and get a better rate of
germination. You can


plant the seeds in partial
to full sun, but they should,-
be in well-drained soil in
order to induce good
flower production. 7;.
It should be noted that::
Passionflower is an annual-:;
and that although the
original plants will get
"tired," new plants will be
generated from the seeds
of the old flowers as time..
goes on.
One feature of these
plants is that they grow
very fast and although
mine did not flower
profusely, the flowers I did
get were well worth the
wait.

Rants
From page A7
' What I wish is that parents
can find clinics like the one I
went to. That's the best way I
have seen to diagnose a child
with ADHD. Left untreated,
ADHD causes many students
to fail and be labeled as
troubled or disruptive. I
applaud the many teachers
and guidance counselors who
are aware of the problem and
help parents deal with these
decisions by observing a
child's behavior and recom-
mending solutions.

The drugging of youth
You recently printed my
rant against the drugging of
children. Thank you.
It was interesting that
your response was to
publish, information and
Web sites of people and
organizations who make
money from the use of
Ritalin. Of course, none of
that refutes the fact there
are no objective medical
tests to diagnose ADHD nor


to indicate that it is a good
idea to drug kids to make
them sit still.
I assume you published
those Web sites as part of
your checking facts. You
might want to check
"Methylphenidate: A
Background Paper," U.S.
Drug Enforcement Admin-
istration, October 1995, p.
16
(www. usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/pr
essrel/pr951020.htm). This
reference says Ritalin could
lead to addictions and that
"psychotic episodes, violent
behavior and bizarre
mannerisms had been
reported" with its use.
"Suicide is the major
complication of withdrawal
from Ritalin and similar
drugs." This can be found in
the psychiatrists' own DSM-
III-R, pages 136, 175. This
book grows regularly as the
psychiatric community
votes into existence new
"mental disorders."
What are similar drugs?
Adderall, Benzedrin,
Concerta, Daytrana,
Desoxyn, Dexedrine',
Sparlon and there are more.
As a final reference, on


Sept. 13, 2005, the Oregon
Health & Science Universi-
ty, evidenced-based
practice center published
the findings of its review of
2,287 studies virtually
every study ever conducted
on ADiD drugs, and found
that no trials had shown the
effectiveness of these drugs
and that there was a lack of
evidence that they could
affect "academic perform-
ance, risky behaviors, social
achievements, etc." Further,
"We found no evidence on
long-term safety of drugs
used to treat ADHD in
young children (or) adoles-
cents." Marian S. MacDon-
agh, Paharma D, and Kim
Peterson, MS, "Drug Class
Review on Pharmacologic
Treatment for ADHD: Final
Report,: Oregon Health and
Science Univeristy, Septem-
ber 2005, pages 13-20.
Perhaps you could
publish these references as
well. Then folks could have
some informed consent
before allowing the drug-
ging of their children.
Editor's note: This reader's
original submission stated:
"Ritalin is like cocaine." The


Web sites mentioned were to
shed light on what the
medical community and the
government say about this.
Thus, articles from the
Brookhaven National


Laboratory, the Archives of
General Psychiatry and the
information site,
www.myomancy.com.
The laboratory is funded
and overseen by the U.S.


Department of Energy's

myomancy site, provides
information site concerning
all treatments forADHD

moment. Or maybe someone
else signed it for him, and he
just put his X on it.
First name spellings have
never been very standardized
so most people spell their
name like they choose.
Surname spellings vary for
many reasons.
Quite often, illiteracy made
it necessary for someone else
to do the writing. That person
may also have had limited
writing skills.
Regional accents and
mispronunciations also
caused spelling differences. A
"B" may be heard as a "P" or a
"V" heard as a "W". As you've
probably noticed, Southern-
ers say things somewhat
differently than northerners,
which means that the spelling
would be completely different


if spelled phonetically.
In fact, when spoken, a
word can be unrecognizable
to someone from a different
part of the country.
Vowels also can become
anything the writer chooses.
An "i" can be an "e", "ie", "y",
"ey", "'ee", or maybe he will just
make it an "a".
Consonants also change or
become single or double, "1"
or "ll".
The classic case is my
grandmother's name,
Gillispie, the name her father
changed. The only thing
constant in this name is the G.
The first "I" can also be an "e"
or an "a".
The l's can be single or
double, then another "i", "e", or
"a". The S and P can be single
or double and the ending can

Immigration caused more
drastic name changes.
Immigration officers often
wrote difficult foreign names
in a more familiar form, which
sounded English.
Families themselves
changed their names slightly
or entirely, to blend in more
with the society into which
they were living. They
shortened them, added or
dropped consonants, to make
them easier to spell and
pronounce. Some changed
their name to disguise their
nationality.

Treasure Coast Scene

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

Doc Grober and the Mudcats:


Music is the best medicine


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


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

Stay strong in your own beliefs but continue
to listen to trusted advisors as well. When you
ask for advice from someone capable of giv-

heart rules, not your ego. It brings respect.
Your courage in the face of adversity is one of
your strongest qualities and greatly admired

Cancer-May 21-June 21
Your strong belief in doing things right is a
major factor in your life and growth. It is an
old fashioned value called conscience. When
you get that "right feeling" nothing can slow
you down or stop you in the pursuit of victory
over life. You have an awesome reservoir of
love and desire to help others. For this you
deserve all of life's greatest rewards.

You function best when you are doing what
you love. You are a high-hearted person.
Sometimes it is hard to deal with earthly mat-
ters but they too, are a part of life. Your spiri-
tual growth is bearing fruit. You have many
new friends. Stay focused on your priorities.
This strong inner focus is what brings you the
best in life. Bring it out and set it free.

Libra-Sept. 23-Oct. 22
You are a remarkable sign. You bring balance
to the rest of us and good judgment. You just
know instinctively what to say and do to help
others bridge their challenges. Your words are
powerful and strong. The new year will bring
new opportunities to learn, serve and grow.
You have strong guidelines in life. Expect pos-
itive results.

ENTERTHI NMENT


Papa Louie's:


Now, that's Italiano!


BY DONALD RODRIGUE
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE -The
city of Port St. Lucie has
grown up all around Papa
Louie, but the Italian
mainstay outlasted his
original competition, a Pizza
Hut, and now occupies that
company's iconic building at
the corner of Rio Mar and
U.S. 1 in north Port St. Lucie.
Louie Manfredi has been
serving authentic Italian
cuisine in the same area for
almost 20 years, although he
wasn't known as Papa Louie
in his first restaurant in the
St. Lucie Plaza, which was
called Giacomo's.
A NewYork native, he
actually met his wife Sue, a
native of New Jersey, in that
restaurant. They eventually
sold Giacomo's to his brother
and he went to work for
several different local
establishments until he.
could no longer resist his first
love and opened Papa
Louie's in 1989.


Since that time, the
Manfredi family has pleased
thousands of customers with
Papa Louie's extensive menu
of Italian delights, all made
from scratch. The first thing
you'll want to do before
you even order an appetizer
- is order a basket of Papa
Louie's garlic knots. Topped
with loads of chopped garlic,
these exquisite little rolls
come swimming in a pool of
olive oil and parsley and are
the perfect way to start off
any meal here.
The appetizer list is
extensive, ranging from
antipasto to fried zucchini
and calamari. Papa Louie's
homemade soups change
daily, ranging from the
traditional pasta fagiole (red
kidney beans, elbow pasta,
Italian sausage and other
savory ingredients) to cheese
tortellini and the surprising
spinach eggdrop.
Afterward, pasta fans may
want to dive into a platter of
fettuccino Alfredo, linguini
and clam sauce (both white


and red) or spaghetti with
meatballs. For the purists,
there's spaghetti with oil and
garlic to tantalize the palate.
Baked pasta choices include
manicotti, baked ziti, lasagna
and more. Entrees run the
gamut from veal marsala to
chicken veal or shrimp
francese, and if you really like
shrimp, you'll find it pre-
pared in three, more ways
here (marinara, scampi and
parmigiana). All the above
are served with a choice of
soup or salad and garlic
bread or knots.
For a lighter meal or lunch,
you can choose from hot and
cold subs, calzone, stromboli
and a dolphin sandwich. And
of course, there's pizza, but
you forget about that old
chain-restaurant style served
by the previous tenant of this
building. Papa Louie's serves
thin and crispy NewYork-
style pizza, as well as Sicilian
pizza, for those who prefer a
thicker crust.

Try making some elegant


desserts for special occasions


SIthough you know it's
| important to develop
good eating habits,
you also know the year will
have many special occa-
sions calling for special
desserts.
I gave you today's recipe
awhile ago, and I recom-
mended using packaged
chocolate mousse mix since
the original recipe was
made with six raw egg yolks,
a no-no today.
I have since found a
recipe for chocolate mousse
that will take you to choco-
late heaven. Remember this
1 is a special occasion dessert


and in no way low-fat.
Also, cream puffs are an
easy and elegant dessert
and since cream-puff
chocolate mountain is
made with a cream-puff
paste you must have that
recipe also.
See you next week.

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

RELIGION



Why did ancient people worship gods of nature?


he Old Testament is
centered in history
and describes
historical events.
It addresses the people
of ancient cultures at one
level; on another level it
speaks to us.
The people of the
nations surrounding the
Hebrews built their
religious beliefs on the
cycles of nature their
world had visible patterns.
But these rhythms were
unexplainable and uncon-
trollable. So they attrib-
uted the patterns to
.various gods.
There were gods to
represent all the aspects of
nature: gods of the sun,
moon, rain, storms, rivers,
seas, and the earth.
Almost every people had
a "myth deity" who was
dead for part of the year,
and alive for the rest of the
year. This explained the
recurring cycles of nature.
The God of the Hebrews,
the God of born-again
Christians today, is very
different than the "myth
gods." Most importantly,
He is the one God,- not
many gods. He is the only
true and living God.
Thq sun, moon, rain,
and other aspects of

nature that ancient Near
East people regarded as
gods, are not gods, but are
part of God's creation, as
recorded in the book of
Genesis.
The true and living God
revealed himself to his
creation in extraordinary,
miraculous moments in
history.
These moments when
God intervened on earth
are not described in vague,
mythic language, "long
ago in the land of the
gods." They clearly span
history and still occur
today.
For this reason, the Old
Testament is not myth, but
history. When God
inspired the writers of the
Bible, he did not describe
how to worship his cre-
ation, but how to worship
Him.
God wanted to tell us
how He had performed
unique, supernatural
actions in human history.
At specific a moment in
time, God chose Abraham
to be the founding father
of the Hebrew Nation.
He saved Abraham's
descendants from famine
and later delivered them
from slavery in Egypt.

Religion columnist

Bible writers, God wanted
to tell us how he chose
King David and King
Solomon to reign over the
golden age of Israel.
Not all of the Old Testa-
ment consists of history.
But even the parts of the
Old Testament that are not
history usually appear in
historical context.
The oracles, speeches,
and poetry of the prophets
are not history, but they
are addressed to specific
people in historical
situations.
They recall God's mighty
acts of the historical past;
they promise that God will
intervene in history again

Books of wisdom and
philosophy that do not
speak of history at all, like
Proverbs and Ecclesiastes,
are identified with the
historical context of King
Solomon's court.
Even the Psalms, intend-
ed for regular repetition in
public worship, sometimes
provide a historical
background. The third
chapter of Psalm is identi-
fied as, "A Psalm of David,"
when David fled from his
son, Absalom.
Israel understood that
God acts in history, and for
this reason almost every
reading of scripture was
read in light of the history
of God's mighty acts.
To understand the Old
Testament, you must
firmly grasp the historical
events that lie behind each
chapter and book.
Unless we know the
history of Israel and the
ancient Near East, the
Bible will always be to
some extent, a mystery.
In the upcoming weeks,
we will take a brief look at
the history, culture and
daily life of ancient Israel
and the ancient Near East
region.
The first recorded thing
God said was, "Let there be


light." At that moment,
creation and history
began.
Our existence became
measurable. A divine
creative hand went to
work on earth.
God carved canyons and
dug oceans. Mountains
erupted; the creative hand
of God flung stars far and
wide, as the universe
expanded.
Take a moment to give
praise and worship to the
Creator himself, not just
for his awesome acts of
creation, but because he is
God.
Pause and reflect on how
God desires for you to be a
major player in his shap-
ing of history.

Scopes
From page Bi


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

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
As Venus continues in
Sagittarius, your emotional
edge continues to boost
you in your pursuits. It gives
you a broader view of pos-
sibilities and a wider course
of action. This edge along
with your natural strong
instincts will result in favor-
able outcomes. Your strong
decisive nature leaves little
to chance and is the pri-
mary reason you excel. "


Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan 19
Live each day like there is
no tomorrow and make the
best of what you have been
given. This is the most reli-
able way to insure that
more will always be on the
way. When you see the
good in others and affirm it,
they see it in you as well.
This is the true meaning of
life and one of your most
priceless possessions.
Believe this in your heart
and so it will be.

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


Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Your love of life, nature and
the universe is evident in the
increased happiness of
recent months. You are at
your best when you set lofty
goals and work steadily to
bring them into reality. You
are never content with medi-
ocrity. You were born to
excel. Your cup will soon be
overflowing with new oppor-
tunities and adventures. Are
you ready to take action?

From page B3
There are daily lunch and
dinner specials, and a good
selection of imported and
domestic beer and wines. In
addition to the regular Italian
menu items, Papa Louie's
offers special dinner entrees
for certain holidays, such as
corned beef and cabbage on
St. Patrick's Day and prime
rib on Mother's Day.
Portions are ample, so be


prepared to ask for a doggy
bag or forgo dessert, which is
a bad idea here. Papa Louie
goes way beyond the
traditional Tiramisu and
cannoli, making it worth-
while even just to stop in for
dessert and a steaming cup
of expresso or cappucino.
For a truly decadent and
elegant finish, go for the 4
Time Chocolate Cake or the
Italian Cream Cake. The
former is a wedge of two
layers of Devil's Food cake
held together with fudge and
topped with chocolate


frosting and chocolate bits,
while the latter is a blissfully
light cake wrapped around a
layer of heavenly cheese-
cake. Now that's the dolce
vita!
Papa Louie's is open
seven days a week for
lunch and dinner (11 a.m.
until late), and from 4 p.m.
to 9 p.m. on Sundays. It's
located at 7240 South U.S.

Know what's worth saving when backing up computer files


sk yourself this
question: Do you
know where all the
important things are on
your computer?
I don't mean the impor-
tant things that are
necessary for making the
computer run, I mean files
that are important to you,
such as word processor
documents and things
created by you.
Much gets said about the
importance of backing up
your data, but one ques-
tion that comes up fre-
quently is what exactly
should we be focused on
when we do backup our
data and, specifically,
where on the computer is
it located?
There are a lot of
answers to that question
that will vary from user to
user, but I've a noticed a


trend over time as to just
what files are typically
missed most when some-
one has a catastrophic
hardware failure and no
backup.
Typically people
bemoan the loss of their e-
mail addresses/contacts
list, e-mail messages,
favorites list (bookmarks),
Word and XL documents,
music (mp3's), digital
pictures and miscella-
neous downloads collect-
ed over time.
Most people I've worked
with already have backups
of Quicken or MS Money
data because those
programs prompt you to
back up all the time. And
(if they have been diligent
enough to hold onto them)
they have a set of restora-
tion disks that holds the
computer's identity just as


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This

it was the day you took it
out of the box.
Since these disks usually
contain the operating
system (Windows) and all
the software that came
bundled (pre-installed
applications such as Word
or Works) with the
machine, there is no need


to include things such as
the operating system and
program files in your
backup list. You already
have them backed up in
the restoration disks.
Unfortunately, many
people don't go beyond
the system disks and lose
all their data.
Now that we know what
we should be focused on,
the next question to be
addressed is, "Where on
the computer is it?" .
You may have noticed a
folder on the desktop
called my documents. This
is the best place to start (if
you haven't already) saving
all your documents and it
makes backing up your
data a snap. Just copy the
contents of the my docu-
ments folder to a CD or
some other backup media
and presto, you've backed


up your data.
Or have you?
Is all of your data in the
my documents folder?
If you are like most
people, and haven't
messed around with the
default settings of your
computer, then critical
files, such as your e-mail
address book and e-mail
storage folder, won't be in
the my documents folder
and often gets left behind
during backup.
What about your
favorites folder? Is there a
copy of it in your my
documents folder? And
what about programs that
create their own folder for
data such as MS Works and
the palm desktop applica-
tion? Does your greeting
card program have its own
data folder?
It's important to know


where your programs are
storing your creative
output, because once you
know where your data is,
it's pretty easy to include it
in your backup routine.
In fact, some programs
let you change the loca-
tion or "path" of the data
store enabling you to
move the folder to a more
practical location such as
within the my documents
folder.
A few minor adjust-
ments and all your data
automatically gets shunt-
ed to one folder where it
can be grabbed for easy
one- step back ups.

chocolate glaze if you
choose.
Note: Double the recipe
for chocolate glaze.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

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

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

WHIPPED CREAM

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

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

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

Titans' soccer team


has lofty goals


BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer


PORT ST. LUCIE To
see the difference between
last year's Titans' boys'
soccer team and this
year's, one just has to look
at how the 2007-08 version
grabbed the bull by the
horns from the outset.
In the first game of the
season, Treasure Coast
took on Okeechobee. The
powerful Brahmans' squad
had defeated Treasure
Coast 5-1 in the Titans'
inaugural season opener
I and seemed poised to do
the same again.
However, Treasure Coast
turned the tables, winning
by an identical 5-1 margin.
"They're a good group of
boys," Titans' head coach
Matt Walby said. "They
work hard with each
other."
Since then, Treasure
Coast has slowly estab-
lished itself as a force to be
reckoned with, slowly.
erasing the memories of a
dismal 2-14-1 debut sea-
son.
"Only 45 kids tried out
(for the team) last year,"
Walby said. "This year, 80
tried out. The bar was
raised a lot higher from
the get go."
The Titans moved to 2-1
on the season with a solid
4-0 win over city rival Port
St. Lucie in a District 14-
5A match Nov. 15. For-
wards Aaron Applebee and
Johnathan Quintero each
tallied two goals apiece.
"Aaron is a bundle of
energy," Walby said. "He is
an enthusiastic player.
"Johnathan is a fresh,
man. He's created a couple
of goals, but he has got a
lot to learn.
"He's got a lot more to
offer."
,Matheus Rodrigues and
Breno Figueiredo chipped
in assists while sopho-
mrore Judson Louis had
t tree saves in goal to


notch his first shutout of
the season.
"He (Louis) was our
starting keeper last year,"
Walby said. "He is a raw
talent,"
"He's started one-on-one
training with a goalkeeper
coach. He's coming along.
"We have a good IV
goalie to push him more."
After blanking the
Jaguars, the Titans were on
the receiving end of a
shutout, as Martin County
held Treasure Coast in
check, winning 4-0 in Stu-
art. The Titans were able to
ge othe board in its sec-
ond district contest of the
season, but the outcome

PGA merchandise show to unveil latest gadgets, more


T he moment that we
I golf writers wait for
all yearlong is finally
upon us.
Yes, I know it's only the
second week of January,
but I've been waiting for
this since January 2007.
While you're enjoying
that steaming cup of Joe
this morning, I am off in
Orlando toiling away at
the 2008 PGA Merchandise
Show.
As you relax in the
comfort of your home, or
the 19th hole after a
pleasant round, I am
working.
I'm marching up and
down aisles of golf equip-


ment, accessories, balls,
apparel and much, much
more. I'm hitting and
testing all kinds of clubs
and teaching aides in a
tiring effort to find the
best of these items and
report my findings to you.
The show takes up every
square inch of the Orange
County Convention
Center's one-million-plus
square feet of floor space.
More than 10 miles of,
carpet are laid out to form
the aisles between
exhibitors.
Last year, the hot new
thing in golf was the
square driver. Since then,

facturer and plenty of the

out with a "geometry-

to help golfers hit drives
straighter.
For 2008 however,
nothing has jumped out at
me in the press releases
heading into the show.
With the new ruling
allowing golfers to have
"adjustable" clubs in their
bags, I suspect that many
companies will be showing
their versions of these
clubs, which allows golfers

to switch the shaft out
between rounds or during
practice. The great feature
in this is that golfers can
keep their favorite head
while testing different
shafts all without having
to pay a professional club
builder to take it apart and
put it together each time.
Bridgestone is set to
unveil a new line of irons,
wedges and fairway
woods. The company's use
of softer metals in its
casting process will give
golfers a "forged" feel in a
cast club.
Wilson Golf has an
interesting new concept.
The company's Fybrid
line of woods combines
the extra heft and MOI of a
fairway wood with the
hitting ease of a hybrid. I
plan some thorough
testing on these.
With regard to apparel,
the use of moisture
wicking materials and
breathable fabrics will
continue to dominate. The
best news is that the
technology has become


less expensive to use and
more available, making
these items more afford-
able. Look for bamboo to
begin a strong showing in
fabric this year.
Last year the USGA ruled
that golfers may, with a
local rule, employ GPS and
laser range-finding
equipment during their
rounds. Thanks to these.
local rules, players are
finding the advantages of
knowing near-exact
yardages. The ruling has
also meant more cus-
tomers, meaning more
companies providing the
technology and lower
prices for golfers looking
to purchase.
Golf bags are becoming
lighter and easier to carry.
than ever before. For those
wishing to walk without
carrying, an entirelynew
generation of pull-and-
push-carts is on the
horizon.
Not every course or shop
sends someone to the
show. Many depend on
company reps to show,

was the same a 3-2 loss
to Satellite.
Louis had eight saves in
goal, while Isaiah Melville-
Ferguson and James Tills
found the back of the net
as the Titans fell to below
.500 for the first time all
season.
Unfortunately, there was
no rest for the weary, as
the Titans took on another
tough opponent in 6-1-1
Vero Beach. Co-captains
Tills and Kadeem Clarke
each scored, but it wasn't
enough, as Treasure Coast
dropped its second con-
secutive 3-2 decision.
The Titans continued its
quest against Indian River
County schools with a
match up with Sebastian
River. The Sharks made it
all the way to the Region 4-
5A Semifinal a year ago,
finishing up with a stellar
16-6-1 record.
However, the Titans sti-
fling defense held Sebast-
ian River to just one goal,
as Louis made three saves
to propel Treasure Coast to
a 3-1 win.
Melville-Ferguson scored
a goal while assisting on
another. Applebee added a
goal, as did Tills in his
third consecutive game.
"Tills and Clarke were
both freshman captains
last year," Walby said. "Tills
plays on defense and is a
great leader.
"He is our second top,
overall scorer with five
goals.

"Clarke is a sweeper but
could play anywhere.
"They both bring a lot of
dedication and a lot of
leadership qualities. They
are great players and its
great that other players
look up to them in terms of
their ability."
Clarke continued his
steady improvement with
a goal in Treasure Coast's
next game against St. Lucie
West Centennial. Applebee
scored as well, helping the
Titans stretch its undefeat-
ed streak to two with a 2-2
tie.
The Titans' run went to
three with a hard-fought 2-
1 win over Lincoln Park.
Played in abhorrent condi-
tions at Lawnwood Stadi-
um, Treasure Coast got
goals from Melville-Fergu-
son and Andres Cura in the
first 10 minutes and held
on for the victory.
Applebee added an assist
and Louis had one save, as
Treasure Coast evened its
record at 4-4-2.
After blanking Port St.
Lucie earlier in the season,
the Titans made it two-for-
two with another shutout,
this time 2-0. Applebee
scored both goals, while
Figueiredo and Rodrigues
each added assists.
"Matheus is a freshman,"
Walby said. "He has a lot of
flare and creativity."
Quintero and Louis com-
bined for the shutout.
The goose eggs contin-
ued, as Treasure Coast bat-


,tled for a 1-0 win over
South Fork. Tills had the
game's only goal on an
assist by Melville-Fergu-
son to put the Titans at 6-
4-2.
In its last game, Treasure
Coast took on a reeling
John Carroll squad. The
Titans took advantage of
the Rams, scoring two
goals and keeping them off
balance throughout the
game.
Rodrigues had the game's
first score on an assist by
Quintero, who turned
around and knocked one
in himself.
Louis earned his third
shutout in a row.
"That was rare last year,"
Walby said. "We only had
two."
Despite already sitting
with seven wins in the
bank, Walby expects to see
huge returns, not just in
the home stretch of this
season, but for years to
come.
"We didn't graduate any
players last year," Walby
said. "This year, we only
have one senior. There are
no seniors in the starting
lineup.
"We have three freshman
who start on varsity. Two
juniors start. Most of the
rest (of the team) are soph-
omores.
"A lot of them play club
soccer together which is
important.
"We are going to be even
better next year."
