Charter school
to be placed
in western PSL
BY RITA HART
Staff writer
PORT ST. LUCIE For
those with an interest in
Imagine School, Port St.
Lucie's City Council meet-
ing on Jan. 28 was a nail-
biter.
However, following a 90-
minute debate that some-
times left onlookers won-
dering where the decision


would fall, the council
voted 3-1 to approve the
site plan for the charter
school in the western part
of the city. Councilman
Christopher Cooper dis-
sented, and Council-
woman Linda Bartz did
not attend the meeting.
The City Council's meet-
ing came on the heels of
an emergency Planning
and Zoning Board meeting
to address the issue, at
which time the board
voted 5-2 to deny approval
for the school.
The council's decision,
however, paves the way for


the building of the K-8
charter school between
Wabash Street and Yamada
Drive, north of Becker
Road and west of Port St.
Lucie Boulevard. The two-
story school will be just
under 53,000 square feet
and will house 750 stu-
dents from all over St.
Lucie County.
As is required of a char-
ter school, students who
attend will be chosen via a
lottery system. The demo-

ASK DR. Pt.LcHm


Dental Concerns for Diabetics


Q: I'm a diabetic. Are my dental needs different from those of non-diabetics? 3
A: Yes. Regular dental checkups are important for everyone. But they are even more
important for people who have diabetes, a disease that can lower a person's resistance
to infection and slow the healing process. Those two factors leave diabetics more
prone to gum disease, also called periodontal disease. Some of the signs of that disease
are gums that have swollen, turned red or tender and that bleed easily. Loosened teeth .,
are also a sign of gum disease.
Diabetics are more susceptible to gum disease for a number of reasons. Generally
they develop more plaque, the film in which colonies of bacteria develop. This may be because diabetics
generate less saliva to help wash plaque away. Diabetics generally also have a higher sugar level in their
oral fluids, which affects plaque build-up. They are also likely to have reduced circulation, which can
hinder the flow of nutrition to the gums and slow healing. "
Studies have shown that patients who carefully control their diabetes under the advice of their t
primary physician have less trouble with gum disease. Nevertheless, close monitoring at home for any
changes in the mouth and regular visits to the dentist are essential for diabetics. If you are a diabetic,
talk with your dentist about the extra steps you should take to preserve your oral health.

Attending the inaugural Green Drinks International event in Fort Pierce are (from left)
John O'Neill, Mukesh Monga, J.P. Gellermann and Fort Pierce Mayor Bob Benton. Over
100 people gathered on Jan. 29 at Alumni's International Grill in Fort Pierce for drinks,
camaraderie and to share ideas on being as environmentally friendly as possible.


Green
From page Al
attend a meeting of people
interested in sustainability,
or self-sufficiency options
for the future. While there,
they sat next to a member
of Boca Ratop's Green
Drinks International. They
were "blown away" by what
they learned that evening,
and decided to form the
first Green. Drinks Interna-
tional organization on the
Treasure Coast.
Their first meeting was
held on Tuesday, Jan. 29
from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at
Alumni's International Grill
in downtown Fort Pierce.
"We would have been
excited if 15 people came,"
said Mr. O'Neill. "But 115
people showed up."
Green Drinks has more
than 315 .chapters world-
wide. According to their
Web site, "These events are
very simple and unstruc-
tured, but many people
have found employment,
made friends, developed
new ideas, done deals and
had moments of serendipi-
ty. It's a force for the good."
Mr. O'Neill said the infor-
mal atmosphere allows
people from all walks of life
to mingle in a relaxed
atmosphere, sharing ideas
both simple and large and
getting everyone personally
and professionally involved


in a sustainable future.
"It brings everybody to
the same level and tremen-
dous things happen," said
Mr. O'Neill. "Powerhouses
speak with local govern-
ment officials. These are
people who might never
come into contact with
each other."
At the first meeting last
month, Fort Pierce Mayor
Bob Benton, members of
the (planning staff of St.
Lucie County and members
of the St. Lucie County
School Board all mingled
with local residents and
business leaders. There
were five speakers at the
event, with each being
allowed just five minutes to
talk about their ideas for
going green. The speakers
are advised to stay away
from politically charged
discussions.
"It's a win-win," said Mr.
Gellermann. "If you are
green, you are going to save
money and make money."
The group plans on meet-
ing the last Tuesday of every
month. Next month's locale
will again be at Alumni's
International Grill begin-
ning at 6:30 p.m. This time,
however, everyone who.
arrives with one fluorescent
light bullb will receive one
free drink. In exchange,
Alumni's International Grill
will donate those light
bulbs to area non-profit
organizations that need


them, such' as Habitat for.
Humanity.
One outcome of ;last,
month's meeting resulted
from a simple conversation.
between a local environ-
mental service business
owner and the owner of
Alumni's International
Grill.
"The business agreed to
take the leftover grease
from the restaurant and use
it on their farm," said Mr.
O'Neill. "That's exactly the
kind of thing we want to see
happen."
Mr. Gellermann agreed
that individuals who share
stories of what they are
doing to be more environ-
mentally friendly and sus-
tainable is what Green
Drinks is all about.
"We love to hear some
crazy, out-of-the-box type
of things. We'd love to have
that happen," he said. .
And, perhaps, make a few
new friends along the way.

Green Drinks Internation-
al meets the last Tuesday of
every month. The next meet-
ing is scheduled for Tuesday,
Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Alum-
ni's International Grill, 122
North Second St., Fort
Pierce. Those interested in
attending should, contact

Ask The Jeweler
How do gold prices affect you as
a consumer?
As you know from previous
columns, which, gold prices have
risen to over $900 per ounce. That's
up over 40% since last year. Which
will definitely cause prices to rise in
retail jewelry.
Here's how it works. Most jewel-
ry stores purchase their products
from manufacturers, and some jew-
elers manufacturer their own jewel-
ry. Both these methods of filling their
showcases with merchandise is
labor intensive, and can cause the
price to be greatly inflated. Common
sense would tell you that the gold for
this new jewelry must be purchased
at current market prices. Add in the
labor and any other profits the man-
ufacturer needs to make, including
commission and import duty if it is
manufactured outside the US, and
this causes prices on jewelry from
conventional sources to rise 4,5,6,
times the price of gold. The bottom
line, the rise in gold prices will defi-
nitely cause you to pay more for
your new jewelry.
1 have been in the jewelry trade
since 1979 and have always looked
out for the consumer and strived to
give them the best possible deal on
jewelry. Now, more than ever we are
swamped with customers both buy-
.ing and selling, here's why. Most of
our jewelry, including diamonds,
gold, precious stones, virtually
everything you can think of related
to jewelry is bought by us.from peo-
ple just like you. Even if we pay the
highest possible prices for your
unwanted jewelry we can still have
room to recondition the piece to like
brand new condition and still sell it to
you for far less than anyone else,
because someone else has already
paid all of the markups of those
manufacturers and manufacturing
jewelers.
Since gold has risen so high we
have increased our purchases from
the public approximately 10 times.
We would rather sell you this jewel-
ry at close to scrap prices than
scrap them. You win. You pay less.

REVIEW

Lid put on one more pot house

The door to another marijuana grow house in Port St.
Lucie has been shut.
In a late afternoon raid on Jan. 29 on a home at 630
S.W. Abraham Ave., St. Lucie County Sheriff deputies
arrested Pedro Hector Munez,' 45, and Maria D. Cancio,
43, and charged both of them with cultivation of mari-
juana and trafficking in marijuana, both felonies.
According to Sheriff Ken J. Mascara, this grow house,
located in an isolated area off Becker Road, is not con-
nected to earlier grow house arrests in the city.
In this case, which resulted from a six-week investiga-
tion by the Sheriff's Office, detectives found 57 seven-
foot tall marijuana plants. Each plant is capable of pro-
ducing one pound of marijuana on a quarterly basis. The
sale of each pound .would net $4,000, for a total of
$912,000 annually, according to Sheriff Mascara.
In an attempt to hide the amount of energy being used
to cultivate the plants, wiring had been set up to divert
electricity away from the electrical meter at the home.
The house also contained what officials described as "an
elaborate irrigation system, a sophisticated cooling sys-
tem that blew cool air directly into enclosed light fix-
tures," and "a supplemental air conditioning unit."
Both Mr. Munez and Ms. Cancio were taken to St.
Lucie County Jail on a bond of $80,000 each.
"We will continue to investigate and root out grow
houses like this throughout St. Lucie County," said Sher-
iff Mascara in a statement.

Three charged with child neglect

It was a sight and smell that sickened the most hard-
ened law enforcement officials.
On Jan. 25, a Port St. Lucie Police officer met casework-
ers from the Department of Children and Families at a
home in the 4000 block of Southwest Carlisle Street in
the city.
There they found a front and back yard strewn with
trash and discarded items, including empty quarts of oil
and a broken microwave, and a house with a strong odor
of feces and urine at the front door.
Inside the house, they encountered rooms with dry,
feces smeared on the floor, dirty pots on the counter and
stove, filthy carpet, discarded clothing everywhere, some
of which contained more feces, mattresses and pillows
on the floor that contained no sheets or pillowcases, a
torn patio screen, at least five cats, two dog crates con-
taining a total of four dogs, spiders, roaches and flies.
According to police records, Caladerial Meliena
Brown, 30, and her fiance, Joseph Ludwig Kozik, 42,
resided in the home with their two children, ages one
and four.
In addition, Gloria Bozarth, 31, resided there with her
four children, ages seven to 16.
Both women are unemployed, while Mr. Kozik is
employed as a tow truck driver. He told police he
believed the conditions in the home were not good for
the children, but he had asked the women several times

Once you have
collected as much
information as
possible on your ancestors
by interviewing relatives,
finding pictures, docu-

is time to get down to
some serious genealogy

' One of the first
resources, that is also the
most important and
easiest to find, is the
Federal.census. The *
records can be found on
Internet sites and in many

The U.S. government has

census in every state, every
ten years since 1790. The
census records from 1790-
1930 can be searched by
the public except for 1890,
which was destroyed by

The census is kept

which can be a tremnen-
dous help, filling in that
10-year space.
1850-80 census records
include a separate mortali-
ty census. This was a
census listing everyone
who had died in the
previous year. This gives
the name, month and
cause of death, estimated.
birth year and place of
birth. There are also slave
census records for 1850-60.
Many researchers ignore
these records completely,
or only look at one or two
records for their family, .
assuming they have
learned all the facts they
need. Each family should
be followed all the way
back through the census
every 10 years, picking up
children, parents, brothers
and sisters, in-laws and
any other relatives that
show up in the household
or neighborhood. These
records are vital in learn-
ing activities and changes
in the family.
From 1790-1840, the
census only named the
. head of the household,
and gave the number of
people living in the house.
From 1850 forward, each
rrember of the household
was named, with their sex,
age, and place of birth.
Each census became more
complex, asking more
questions, adding relation-
ships, occupations,
parent's places of birth,
number of years married,
number of children given
birth to, and other perti-
nent clues.
Starting with the 1930
census and working
backward, you should look
at your family, taking down
all the information given
and looking at the neigh-
boring families.
Often, other family
members are living nearby,
and these need to be
noted, also. If there are
other families with the
same surname, they are
possibly parents, brothers,
uncles and cousins. This
will help you fill in and go
back another generation or
bven two generations.
John's father may be
living next door to him,
and in his household is
grandma or grandpa.
Voila!! You have three
generations laid out on
one or two pages.
However, remember you
must verify this with other
sources, ratherthan just
taking it at face value.

BRENDA SMITH
Genealogy columnist

As you work your way
through each census, you
will find differences in the
spellings of names, family
members will come and
go, and the family will
move around the country.
Each census taker had
his own style. Some used
only initials, some used
only first name, regardless
of which name was pre-
ferred.
Sometimes the correct
name was used, the next
time, a nickname.
Ages will also change
from census to census. The
census taker taking a guess
or the person giving the
information not knowing
the exact information.may
cause this.
Daddy may have a
problem remembering the
names and exact ages of all
seventeen children. If a
child is missing, it has
probably died, but it may
be living with or working
for another family nearby.
Older children may have
married and moved away.
You may be able to find
them with their spouses.
When a father dies, the
mother often remarries. In
this case you must look for
the children, and then you
may find the mother with
the new husband and
possibly more children by
him. This also follows with
the father. Watch for a
new, and usually younger
wife (nothing changes!), '
and more children by her.
Census indexes are both
a blessing and a curse.
When I started my .
research, I rarely saw an
index. I searched page by
page looking for my
names. Of course, I now
depend on the name to be
right there in front on me
on that index. When it is,
all's right with the world.
When it's not, it is very
frustrating.

Rename the Minsky Gym

It is time to rename the Minsky gym. It is rarely used. It is
not open to the public. And most importantly, it should be
named after somebody worthwhile. Bob Minsky did very
little for this town. And he's considered honorable. We
should name it after a soldier or somebody worthwhile.

What about my frozen treat?

I was so surprised and disappointed that the Tropical
Smoothie closed down in St. Lucie West. It seemed like such
a popular place. Now where can I go for my delicious
chocolate chillers?

Port St. Lucie spending is out of control

The people in Port St. Lucie have to be critical about the
crazy spending by the city. From Christmas trees to all of the
police dogs and handlers. We have people suing the city and
people that have been hired by the city that shouldn't have.
Why not have mounted police patrol the parks? We could
use the fertilizer from the horses for the botanical garden
that is going to cost us millions? There's a first.

Stop dividing the races

Any group of people has a right to call themselves that
which is meaningful. It is, however, a discredit to those of
the Negro race to be called "African-Americans."
I don't know where it started, but there was a time when
the "proper" terms were Negro, Caucasian, Oriental, etc.
Somewhere along the way we seemed to need to define the
Negro race with Africa. Those who came on slave ships have
been here longer than those who were white. So why now
the connection?
It started with the Emancipation Proclomation under
President Lincoln. It really didn't take hold until Martin
Luther King and Lyndon Johnson made the big step to give
all of us equal rights. It was a long struggle that is still going
on. We (I emphasize we) are a nation indivisible. Not one
that is divided between the continent of Africa -(not all
black) and America that includes North/Central/South
America.
It doesn't define a race so engraved in our country. Once
in the recent past, Negroes rejoiced in proclaiming "black is
beautiful." It surely still is.
The military uses United States on the uniform of our fine
men and women in the service to our country. We don't
honor those who have given their life as an American-
American, but a man or woman of the United States of
America. Let us all be one.

In response to 'What happened
to the American dream',

I understand where this person is coming from. I must
point out a few things though. Not every person who earns
more than $250,000 works very hard for his or her money.
There are some people out there that work harder for less.
Who ever wrote this comes off to me that they are only con-
cerned for their 'own selves and hardly seems like a person
who donates to people with needs. It would be nice to think
that we could do a straight 15-20 percent tax for everyone so
it's fair.
That is up to our politicians and so far, Republican or
Democrat, that hasn't happened yet. I think that you
should know that it is not just you out there supporting
everyone who is in need. Even my family which makes


Dear Editor,

Upon reading the article "Mayor meets with residents on
River crossing" I am extremely disheartened.
Having voted for both Mayor Christensen and the East-
West Expressway I am saddened to read.that she is pushing
so hard to put the River crossing through the route designat-
-ed as IC.
Apparently she and the members of the group "1C for Me"
have not visited the site which would be affected by this
crossing. As someone who is intimately familiar with the St.
Lucie River, and especially the area between Prima Vista arid
Port St. Lucie Boulevard I can say with authority and confi-
dence that if they are looking to put the bridge in the one
area that would cause the most environmental destruction


BATs.. SLow DowN...


BRIDGE WORK I


about half of what you do has to support those same people.
I think the government is partly at fault for not investigating
if half of the people who are in need are actually in need.
When I was in high school I used to work in a grocery
store and I would see people buying steaks and lobster all
on their food stamp cards. I would think to myself, they are
eating better than I do. Now that is a problem. I have been
living under a Republican's control for long enough. In my
opinion it has turned out very bad. It was a Republican that
put us into the Great Depression and it was a Democrat that
pulled us out of it. In my eyes Democrat parties work for
everyone. Don't forget that the lower and middle class peo-
ple have just as important roles in running a business.

Make our votes count

As a 70-year-resident of the state of Florida, I am appalled
at both the Republican National Committee and the Demo-
cratic National Committee for refusing to count our votes in
the primary. I think that everyone who sent money to the
Republican National Committee and the Democratic
National Committee or any candidate for national office
should not only ask, but also demand a refund of those
donations. L&t them go to somebody like Bloomberg or
someone who will represent the state of Florida. I think it's a
shame we are asked to vote and then our votes are not going
to count. This should not be allowed to happen and the
national parties should be made to pay for that.

End automated answering machines

All I wanted was the answer to a simple question; does the
new bank have safety deposit boxes? I asked customer serv-
ice, but instead of an answer, I was given the whole menu of
services none of which covered my needs. They asked for all
of my numbers, which was totally unnecessary, even my
social security number. It was infuriating and a waste of my
time. I hung up furious. Are there any numbers one can call
without getting the overly long menu, with press this and
press that... none of which answer the questions we have.

Church sticks to rules

Last Sunday I wanted to leave church out of a side door
after communion, and two ushers held me hostage. I insist-
ed that I had to leave and they followed me outside and told
me never come back and that they would not me out if I was
in a bar. Why should I be forced to stay the entire time? They
told me I had to leave out of the back door, but my car was
in the front. With all the controversy with the Catholic
Church, why would they force people to stay? I talked to the
pastor, and he stands behind the ushers, saying that it was
the rules. I have a neighbor that fell ill during mass, and they
told her the same thing. I feel like our church is a prison. It's


Letters

and ruin the most unique natural setting along this whole
stretch of the River, this campaign is then certainly right on
target. I've often pondered how it is that this area, of all the,
miles of River to the 'south and north, could have come to be
favored as,the bridge site. After reading the Mayor's quote it
makes more sense to me as to how this site ever got into the
running as a potential bridge crossing. She is quoted as say-.
ing, in part "the route that was always planned, even going
back to when General Development Corp. controlled the
city." With all due respect, now that's quite a legacy to live up
to. Need I say more about the short-sightedness of General
Development?
Folks, we can have the bridge AND keep this most unique
crown jewel of the Saint Lucie River, or we can put a six-lane
bridge right through the middle of it and wind up with just a


a disgrace.

Response to no-kill shelter

This is in reply to the rant about the no-kill shelter. I had a
similar experience with the shelter in Sebastian. Although I
don't know if it is the same shelter, I'd like to talk to whoever
wrote this rant. Please respond to me at manah2@aol.com.

Crack down on bikers

I'd like to know why motorcycles and scooters can park
on the sidewalks and riders don't have to wear helmets? We
have to buckle up inside of a vehicle, but they don't have to
have any safety precautions. And they are allowed to bar
hop without any consequences.
Are the police afraid of them? Why don't they get a DUI?

Employee would rather be
treated like a dog than a machine

I read an article today on Yahoo's HotJobs titled, "Survey
Highlights Managers' Role in Job Satisfaction."
From all my years in the employment world, this has been
my experience. I've loved all my jobs. It's the (managers)
and their management style that leaves something to be
desired.
While you are employed, big business management treats
you like a machine.
You walk up to a computer, an (ATM), your lawn mower,
your car, a light switch, a faucet ... and you demand the
machine start working and get the job done. Likewise,
management will walk up to you, and say, "Here. Do this,"
and walk nonchalantly away.
Most of us, myself included, don't walk up to a machine
and ask how it's doing or did you have a good day. We don't
stop to thank our machines, or praise our printers for not
jamming, unless you are into Zen Buddhism, like Robet -
Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance."
We tend to replace our old and excellent-working
machines with newer ones. And we keep the machines that
don't work well or at all for sentimental reasons. Likewise,
management tends to get rid of industrious healthy
machines, for cheaper and newer models, while keeping
the lackadaisical ones. They spend more money doing this.
What happened to treating employees for who they are,
human beings on the road of life?
What is taught in business schools, management courses,
in meetings? Can there be such a thing as hurimanistic ;
management?
Does your president/CEO ever stop by to just say "hello"

bridge.
There is no mitigation, no designing, no way of putting
such a structure through such an idyllic setting and main-
tain its natural integrity. You can take a qow patty, put frost-
ing and sprinkles on it and pawn it off as a cupcake. But one
bite and it will become quite clear that this is no cupcake. I
find then the moniker C for Me" to be quite appropriate.,
It will certainly speak of our selfishness to coming genera-
tions about how or why we would do such a thing. If this
crossing goes through it will be listed in the history books
alongside such projects as the straightening of the Kissim-
mee River and the destruction of the Everglades watershed.

Rants & Raves
From page A6
to his/her fellow htiman beings? Why not treat your subor-
dinates like you would treat your beloved dog.
I'd rather be treated like a dog than a machine.

Thanks go to law enforcement

I would like to send a big thank you out to the men and
women of law enforcement.
Everyday they risk their lives to protect our communities
and families only to be blamed for other people's mistakes. I
think people should police themselves while driving. If the
speed limit is 55 mph, then don't go over. If you see smoke
or fog while driving, slow down. Use common sense people.

No compassion in medical field

I had to change my health insurance plan because of
excessive cost. I had a cardiologist and neurologist for 21
years who did not accept my new medical plan and could
no longer care for me. So much for compassion.

Extra-wide turns not only odd, but dangerous

I'm just wondering why the drivers who are making a right
turn have to swing over to the left lane?
Or when they're making a left, they swing, over to the right.
I guess they don't realize how dangerous that can be.
It just really bugs me.

Foreign car buyers responsible
for unemployment costs

Everyone driving foreign built cars Toyotas, Infinities,
Hondas, etc. mostly Toyotas, are responsible for the 7.5
percent unemployment (rate) in Michigan: You have put a
lot of people out of work in the automobile factories.
Now we, the taxpayers, have to pay for these folks with
unemployment payments.
Everyone I know (who) drives a Toyota (is) unhappy with
these cars. The Fords, Chryslers (and) General Motors cars
are made better and certainly more (stylish). Buy U.S.A.

Will take the gecko over the asterisk anytime

I was just reading your "Turned off by the asterisks ads."
After talking to my friends about it, they all react the same
way. We all turn the channel off or change channels.
Give me the gecko for Geico anytime. That is the cutest.

Mostly Republicans guilty
of anti-democratic practices

I love the Rants & Raves section of the paper. It does,
however, give me pause when I think that some of the
writers are voters. Their positions can be pretty scary.
One example is the quote from "Ranters should find
better things to complain about." This ranter warns that
should a Democrat be elected president "this will become a
socialized county" and we won't be able to protest.
Does the writer mean that we will become a socialist
country, where the workers control the means of produc-
tion and we will experience the dictatorship of the prole-


tariat? That the state will own all property and industry?
That the Democrats would use violent repression to stop us
from protesting and wipe out constitutional protections for
redress of grievances?
Or does he truly mean socialized, (like Sweden or Norway)
where health care, college, vocational training, etc., is free?
Where the residents of these countries have some of the
highest levels of disposable income in the world?
Both are unlikely results of a Democratic presidency. The
use of such extreme, alarmist language only serves to
further polarize the electorate and drive them from the
democratic process. If the writer wants to honestly scruti-
nize which party has done/will do more to reduce citizen's
ability to protest or get important information, then he
needs to look into which administration brought us protest
zones that are miles from the people and institutions that
are the subject of protest. He needs to look into which party
has an administration with a practice of denying informa-
tion requests and making routine documents secret. Which
party sent its people to the hospital bedside of a sick
attorney general (John Ashcroft) in the hope that, in his
fevered state, he would re-sign a program that the adminis-
tration's own Justice Department appointees declared
unconstitutional?
The writer's fears of anti-democratic practices have, in
some part, already been realized under a Republican
administration. The idea that a Democratic president and
Congress would do the same is not outlandish,s but it has
generally been Republican administrations that have done
more to reduce access to government and information.
I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican, and I have
very little hope that any of these candidates have the desire
or ability to wrest control of our government from the
hands of the corporations that currently own it.
Now get out of the left lane; I have a protest to get to.

Troops fighting for God, freedom, not oil

I'm sick and tired of liberal Democrats referring to the
"Bush War" and the "Iraq War."
The Iraq War was over when Bush said it was. And we won
it.
We are now fighting a worldwide terrorist war, which
started long before Iraq, and every free and democratic
country should be involved in it.
I might add "The Oil War" is not. It is a religious war,
which the radicals started long before our time. We let them
get away with it for too long.
Our troops are not fighting for oil; they are fighting for
God and our freedom. If we pull out now, Iran will walk
right in and take over, and we never will stop them.
The majority of Muslims are fine people. The same with
the Democrats. I was one until (Sen. John) Kerry came on
the scene. The good ones are silent and let the Dumbos run
the show.

Changes mind about Hillary for president

This presidential race has gotten out of control.
First, who is running for president Hillary or Bill? You
say, "Hillary."You could have fooled me.
Secondly, the Clintons (and) the Obamas. Come on, we're
all adults here. Stop acting like children.
I don't know about anyone else, but I want my next
president to be an adult. Someone who is going to do
something to help the country and its people. Someone
who has the country's best interest at heart and not a child
throwing tantrums, ranting and raving, hollering and


screaming every time something doesn't go his/her way.
For Hillary and Bill to slander Obama because of what he
did as a child, a teenager, not yet an adult, is ridiculous.
Have they forgotten their own sordid history (done) not as
minors, but as adults. Mr. Clinton in England, smoking but
not inhaling and his brother's comment that the president
has a nose like a vacuum. All the president's sordid affairs,
Monica Lewinsky and the other women who accused him
of rape but didn't have enough evidence.
My vote was for Hillary. Obama does not have enough
experience.
JNow that Hillary and Bill have shown their true colors, I
don't want a child in the presidency. Hillary also seems to
have a habit of turning on the waterworks when all else
fails. Sorry, this won't work for me. I don't want a woman
who shows weakness in the position as leader of the
country.
The individual for presidency must be strong, not show
any sign of weakness. She is not such a candidate.

U.S. foreign policy detrimental
to international status

It appears to me that two aspects of America's foreign
policy are definitely at odds with our efforts to be the
leader of the free world.
First is our constant harping about spreading democ-
racy around the world. All this does is to alienate many
world leaders and give people with poorly thought out
plans and no wherewithal to accomplish these plans
false hope. We get embroiled in a clandestine effort to
support people who in the end turn against us for one
reason or another. Need I mention Iran, Iraq,
Afghanistan?
Second is our harping about human rights abuses in
sovereign countries. This again tends to alienate nation-
al leaders and makes them reluctant to assist us in any
international endeavor.
It seams to me that if we are not satisfied with the
conduct of the government in another country, we
should refuse any and all economic aid until such time
as the government changes through the actions of the
citizens of that country. All too often our money is spent
overseas and given to some tinpot dictator who talks big
at the United Nations in New York and then goes home
in his Lear jet, rides to his heavily guarded residence in a
$200,000 limousine,-while wearing a $2,000 suit that we
as American taxpayers ultimately paid for.
History tells us that this democratic nation was not
born overnight and went through many hard-earned
lessons until we arrived at where we are today, and we
still don't have it right.
How then can we expect any country to make major
changes overnight?

Athlete should be allowed
to compete in Beijing Olympics

In Brussels, Belgium, the (International Association of
Athletics Federations) has decided to keep one of the most
inspiring athletes (Oscar Pistorius of South Africa) out of
the Beijing Olympics. They feel that his prosthetic racing
legs give him a competitive advantage. You see, since both

An Open Letter to Florida Car Deal rs.

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".-


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


IS

at

ca
h


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
-. dealer fee, but because I was
towers' able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
ons, level or used car. You can do the
same.
tion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
ation are I think of myself as the .new
"sheriff' that has come to
er today." "clean up South Florida". In
fact, I am well aware that this
letter is, to some extent, self-
serving. Many people will read this letter and
learn why they should buy a car from me,
and not you. And, I am also aware that most
dealers who read this will either get angry and
ignore it or not have the courage to follow my
lead. But maybe you will be the exception. If
you have any interest In following my lead,
call me anytime. I don't have a secretary and
I don't screen any of my phone calls. I would
love to chat with you about this.

to clean up the home while he was at work, and that he was
working to get the animals out of the home.
Ms. Bozarth advised police she didn't live at the home, but
stayed there during the week while her children were in
school. She also agreed the home was in no condition for
the children, and said she tries to help clean.
Ms. Brown also acknowledged the home was in unsani-
tary condition, but said she was overwhelmed with the work
that needed to be done to clean up the residence, and that it
had "gotten out of control."
All three adults were charged with child neglect and taken
to the St. Lucie County Jail without incident.
The children were placed with other family members and
DCF will monitor their care. The animals will be kept by Ani-
mal Control until their owners are released from jail.


Purchase of cigarettes leads to arrest

William Cole Tanner, 19, might be a free man if not for his
purchase of cigarettes and some good detective work.
On Jan. 16, an anonymous witness called 911 to report
that a white male got out of a white, four-door vehicle and
entered another vehicle in the parking lot of Wal-Mart on
Southwest Gatlin Boulevard.
The witness saw the male take a bag out of the second car
and get back in the white car.
When police arrived, they spoke with the owner of the car
containing the bag. He was a Wal-Mart employee who pur-
chased items on his break and put the bagged items in his
car. The bag also contained the credit card of his friend. The
employee left the car unlocked and went back into the store.
The store's surveillance video showed that the suspect
who took the bag out of the car had just come out of Wal-
Mart's liquor store.
When police spoke with the liquor store's clerk, they


learned the clerk had obtained the birth date of the suspect,
because the suspect had purchased cigarettes.
Using that birth date, police conducted a records check and
compared driver's license photos of those with that date of
birth to the suspect captured on the video surveillance.
The suspect, William Cole Tanner, was wearing a camou-
flage shirt in both the surveillance video and in his driver's
license photo. He also has a white four-door Oldsmobile vehi-
cle registered in his name.
Police went to the address on the driver's license, in the
2600 block of Southwest Chestnut Lane, and spoke with Mr.
Tanner's roommate, who acknowledged he was a passenger
in Mr. Tanner's car when the alleged burglary occurred.
The roommate turned over to police the contents of the
bag; a bottle of Bacardi rum, which was now empty, and a
two-liter jug of Coca-Cola. The roommate told police the
credit card had been cut up and thrown away.
The total value of the items stolen was approximately $25.
Mr. Tanner has been charged with burglary to a motor vehi-
cle, a felony.

Life is an amazing thing;


make sure you enjoy it


P philosophers and
scientists are continu-
ally discovering new
meanings and relation-
ships between different
aspects of life in all its
forms.
There are continual
discoveries about pure
energy patterns below the
atomic level.
With advanced tele-
scopes, the discovery of
vast galaxies reaching into
interstellar space contin-
ues as well. The radio
sound waves of huge
antennas around the world
are constantly probing
outer space searching for
other signs of life. There
have been discoveries of a
number of stars and
planets circling them like
our own solar system.
However, so far no
discoveries have show
signs of life as we know it
on Earth. So here we are, 6
billion plus humans, given
the responsibility of
creating and maintaining
life in all its forms. Life is so
sacred and valuable. The
natural order is to bring
harmony out of chaos.
An example: There are
trillions of cells in the
human body. Brain cells,
skin cells, red and white
blood cells, hair cells, etc.
The supreme power of the
universe call it God,
universal mind or whatever
- created all of these to
live and work together in
peace, not war.
That's this amazing thing
called life.
The first thing we should
do upon awakening each
morning is give thanks and
gratitude for being given
another day alive as
human on Earth. Each of
us at birth were given a
divine purpose. Every one
of us has at least one true
gift and calling. Finding it,
bringing it out and setting
it free should be the No. 1
goal in life. Don't waste it.
Are you struggling in life?
Do you feel stuck, side-
tracked or going in the
wrong direction? We are
not supposed to be sick,
stressed out, poor in spirit
or wealth, sad or unhappy.
There is a far greater way to
live. The positive continua-
tion of life almost demands
that we do the following
things.


_ ,


A>


JAMES TUCKER
The Spirit Guide
First, learn to live in
balance.
Life is like a wheel.
Everything we see in the
sky is rounded. For a wheel
to turn it must be bal- .
anced. Look at life like you
are the hub of your own
wheel. How is this done?
Live from your instincts
and follow your heart, not
your head. Reach out to
others, take care of busi-
ness, then come back to
your center.
Refuse to live your life by
circling everyone else's
orbit and trying to please
them. The stress and
imbalance will do you in.
Have you ever been there?
Are you there now? Work,
sleep and play rather than
work, sleep and worry.
When was the last time you
got a good night's sleep?
Worry comes from holding
onto the past and trying to
live in the future rather
than forgiving and releas-
ing them. This is divided
thinking and no way to live.
Release the past. Live in
the moment. The Earth
lives one day at a time. Live
each day like there is no
other. When tomorrow
comes it is today anyway.
Happy people live this way.
Make a list of the things
you love in life. Then make
a list of the things you don't
want. Focus on the things
you love. If you don't love it
don't do it. Your life is
important. Maybe more
than you know.
Desire for change creates
action. Action creates
reality. Honor life on earth.
Greed, war, killing, destruc-
tion of the atmosphere,
rain forests, rivers and
stream through pollution is
crazy.
Humans are one of a very
few forms of life that kill


their own. When are we
going to stop this waste?
Hopefully before it is too
late. Peace will only come
when the power of love
overcomes the love of
power. When we find out
true purpose and greater
value in life we find true
meaning and want to
preserve it rather than
destroy it. This makes us
ordinary folk doing
extraordinary things,
working together as a
loving family on Earth.
Isn't this the way you
want to live? You have it in
you. You were born with
genius in your soul. No one
can bring it out of you
except you. It doesn't have
a lot to do with education,
experience, wealth,
breeding or privilege. It has
everything to do with
finding your true purpose
and using your life for a
positive cause.
You can do it. I know you
can. Then after you find all
the hidden magic in your
soul and life is blessing
you, take care of your own
and family needs first.
Next, give back. to your
spirit guides and help
those who inspired you on
your journey. You are now
the light.
Next pass the torch of
truth to the next genera-
tion of spirit bound souls
who want what you have.
Now yours has become
an extraordinary life well
lived. This is your legacy of
truth, that will live well
beyond your earthly days.
You can do all these things
and more. The sweetest
news is the best is yet to
come.

"I told them, you are the

Imagine
From page Al
.the demographics of the community.
Charter schools are public schools and
not exempt from Florida's Compre-
hensive Assessment Tests (FCAT).
They are held to the same state gradu-
ation requirements as any other pub-
lic school.
They operate under a performance
contract, or a 'charter,' which makes
them exempt from most rules and reg-
ulations created for traditional public
schools.
Much of the discussion at the coun-
cil meeting centered around potential
traffic concerns, given that the
entrance and exit to the school is on
one road that empties onto Yamada


Drive, and that there is no "stacking"
area for cars when parents are drop-
ping off or picking up children from
the school.
The building of sidewalks on the
roads surrounding the school was
also discussed.
"What we have to hope for is that
the school district works as a partner
with us and allows the children going
to that school from that neighbor-
hood, which may reduce the number
of vehicles that are stacked," said
Councilwoman Michelle Berger, a,
proponent of charter schools.
However, Mayor Patricia Chris-
tensen pointed out that the majority
of children attending the school may
be coming from elsewhere in the
county.
"You could end up with 99 percent


of the kids from the neighborhood
not going to that school," she said.
Councilwoman Berger pointed out
that once the school is open, annual
inspections by the Department of
Health and the Occupational Health
and Safety Administration will con-
tinue.
"Certainly if we see traffic issues
that involve public safety issues, I will
be the person that's writing the letter
to the Department of Health, letting
them know that it's time for them to
-come to re-inspect," said Ms. Berger.
"I want to make sure that any condi-
tion that's out there you all are
addressing. I want to make sure that
every good faith effort is put in every
day and it doesn't just happen the
first two weeks and everybody is
happy."

A group home for mentally challenged men was exten-

clothes need to be replaced.
The Arc is asking for mone-
tary donations to replace
the clothing, rather than
donations of clothing itself.


The carport attached to
the home was destroyed, as
was an office that was part
of the garage. In addition,
the building now needs all
new electrical wiring, dry
wall and a new roof. The Arc
is seeking contractors and
businesses that can donate
their services and supplies
to quickly rebuild the home.
"We've had an architect
offer to make an in-kind
donation for any architec-
tural work we need," said
Ms. Lazaro. "We are trying
to get in-kind donations in
terms of building contracts.
Basically, we need to get the
word out and anywhere we
can get help, we are looking
for some. Even with insur-
ance,. we have high
deductibles and insurance
will only cover 80 percent of
the damages, so monetary
donations would also be
appreciated."
Anyone able to donate in-
kind services, supplies or
money is asked to contact
Amber Lazaro of The Arc of
St. Lucie County at (772)

TRAVEL


Try a classic rail journey


Maybe it's because I
am getting older,
but it seems more
and more I wish that things
were as they used to be.
You know, the simpler
times or the way we were. I
find myself saying, "When I
was your age ... "Ugh! I've
become my grandparents.
Well, I am fortunate
enough to be in an industry
that brings me down some
of those memory lanes
while researching a clients'
dream vacation.
GrandLuxe Rail Journeys
brings me along those
railroads of the past.
Formerly known as the
American Orient Express,
GrandLuxe follows the
golden era of travel on its
17-carriage train. Each of
the vintage cars was in
service during the 1940s
and 1950s streamliner era.
GrandLuxe specializes in
long-distance trips in which
travelers sleep in private
cabins aboard the country's
premier, private passenger
train. You can experience
the service, comfort, fine
dining and spectacular
scenery as it was once
enjoyed by travelers in days
gone by.
Traditional rail travel is
much like a luxury cruise,
where getting there is half of
the fun. A trip aboard
GrandLuxe isn't just trans-
portation, it's an experience.
The train serves as hotel,
restaurant and entertain-
ment all wrapped into one
All-inclusive journey.
Rail travelers explore the
historical, geological and
natural points of interest
along the way. They'also get
to visit some of North
America's most interesting
and wondrous sites. While
aboard, you will enjoy
gourmet meals prepared by
classically trained chefs.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner
are prepared to order. Fine
wines are available in the,
club cars with complimen-
tary selections at dinner.
There are five types of

The world really needs to
see this young man in
action. This man is a
potential hero to so many
people and should be
allowed to run in the
Olympics. He would be an.
inspiration to so many. He
runs on prosthetic legs with
kind of a flexible ski blade
for feet. I would love to see
the world in an uproar over
this injustice.
They said that he would
be allowed to compete in
the Special Olympics.

Each Valentine's Day for
the past three years, I
have sent a Valentine
to my husband, Roy, who
has Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's diseases.
This year is a poignant
one, for several reasons.
My childhood friend,
Carole, lost her mother in
early December. Ten days
later, Carole's granddaugh-
ter, Marisa Shira, was born.
Many people commented
on the circle of life, encom-
passing birth and death, so
close together.
It is a reminder for all of
us to learn to appreciate the
pleasures that help lessen
the pain. I am reminded of
this often as Roy and I live
each day, trying to laugh
and enjoy the good
moments and work around
the bad ones.
Roy has begun attending
the Council on Aging of
Martin County's Adult Day
Center twice a week. He has
become less steady on his
feet and fell several times
this year, hitting his head
and sending us to the
emergency room. There, he
will get physical therapy
and help with his balance.
His memory has gotten a
little shaky, and I am
hoping that being with
other people will be more
stimulating and help keep
his illness at bay a while
longer.
Roy didn't want to go to
the center because he
doesn't see himself as
needing such care. I
understand that feeling is
quite common. We shed a
few tears, both of us, as we
wrestled with the decision.
I told him I hoped it would
help me be able to keep
him at home much longer,
and that coupled with the
physical therapy, was ,
enough to persuade him to
give it another try. I am so
proud of him. He refuses to
give in to his limitations
and remains upbeat. He
comforts me.
People have told me that
I'll have a break from
having him around. They
don't understand. I miss
him when he's not here. I
love him; that's why I
married him!
What I hope to get is a
little respite from worrying
about him. When we are at
home, I always have one ear
cocked, waiting for a thud


SHELLEY KOPPEL
Alive and Well
that means a fall. When I
have to leave him to go out,
I worry about whether he is
all right. This way, there will
be some time when I know
he is safe.
That will be a relief to me.
Taking this step was a
hard one for both of us.. If
you are caring for a loved
one, see if your area
Council on Aging or other
organization has an adult
day program. If you don't
need that level of care yet,
but are a caregiver, make a
call and introduce yourself.
Get into the system, with a
care manager, so that when
you need the services, you
don't have to start from
scratch. There is always
bureaucracy and paper-
work that take time.
A long time ago, I believed
in fairy-tale endings and
Prince Charming. I got
Prince Charming and I
learned that the fairy-tale.
ending is taking care of
each other, loving each
other and cherishing each
other. There is no one else
on Earth who would have
gotten me through the
dark, terrible days of my
cancer, when things got I
,worse and worse and
worse. He's the one I miss
when he's at the center and;
I'm home alone, no matter
how busy I am. Fairy-tale
endings? We're living ours.
* The 2008 Alzheimer's
Association Walk in Martin
County will be at 9 a.m.
March 29 at Flagler Park,
Stuart. That's where our
caregiver counselor and
friend, Laura Zel, leads our
team, the Support
Groupies.

All swimming pools in
the unincorporated areas
of the county, unless
entirely screened in, must
be completely enclosed
with a fence or wall at
least four feet high to
prevent children from
accidentally falling in,
according to the St. Lucie
County Code Compliance
Division.
"For various reasons,
especially since the
hurricanes of 2004 and
2005, many homeowners
have had to erect orange
construction fence as a


temporary replacement
enclosure," said Joseph
Mul6, assistant code
compliance manager for
St. Lucie County. "Howev-
er, temporary fencing can
only be used for 90 days."
After that 90-day
period, the homeowner is
responsible for erecting a
permanent fpnce or
structure, according to St.
Lucie County's Land
Development Code
Section 8.00.05 A and B.
Failure to comply is a
violation of this ordi-
nance and will subject
the property owner to a
fine.
Mr. Mul6 points out the


safety of area children is
put at grave risk each day
that a permanent barrier
is not in place around the
swimming pool.
"Please, we are asking
residents to do their part
to maintain their proper-
ty and help protect the
safety of children in St.
Lucie County," Mr. Mul6
said.
For more information
about pool enclosure
codes or violations,

County Code Compliance
Division at (772) 462-

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

The St. Lucie County Fire
District Advance Life Sup-
port Competition Team
placed third in a national
competition, Jan. 26.
The competition took
place at the Fire-Rescue
East Conference, held in
Jacksonville.
The local team includes;
Rob Schooley, captain, Eric
Wright, Elisa Prevatt, and
Rob Newman.
A total of 16 teams partic-
ipated in two-rounds of
competition. In the first
scenario, teams were con-
fronted with a post-hurri-
cane situation with multiple
patients.
The scenario was con-


ducted in total darkness to
simulate a power loss. In
the second scenario, the
teams dealt with four
patients at a construction
site. The SLCFD tied for
second in the first round of
competition and was one of
only three teams to advance
and qualify to compete in
the second scenario.
"This is a newly created
team and to place this well
is a tribute to their hard
work. and commitment to
their profession," said Fire
Chief Ron Parrish. "The
team did a great job. We are
very proud of their accom-
plishment, and I know they
are looking forward to
advancing in next year's
competition."
This is the third time the


team has competed. They
participated in their first
competition in Boca Raton
in June 2007.
That competition attract-
ed local fire-rescue depart-
ments. They competed in
their first national competi-
tion at the Clinical Confer-
ence of Prehospital Emer-
gency Care last summer,

Computer files can be used

with many programs


This week, I thought we
would talk about how
everything in the
computer is connected.
By connected I don't mean
by wires and other mechani-
cal means, but internally,
through the computer's filing
system.
Often I hear people say that
a particular file (picture or
text) "is in my word proces-
sor" or "it's in my e-mail
program."
That implies that the file in
question can be accessed
only with that particular
program. Not so.
Let me explain; each
program on your computer
is capable of opening
different types of files.
For instance, word proces-
sors such as MicrosoftWord
or Works Word Processor are
for working with text files,
while photo editors, such as
Paint Shop Pro and Photo
Shop are just the thing for
working with pictures.
The files themselves are not
stored within the program
they are stored somewhere
on the hard drive available to
any program capable of
working with them. That
means you can share files
often times with many other
programs. All you really need
to know is where on your
hard drive the files really live.
"c:\documents and
settings\owner\my docu-
ments\filename.doc"
This is an example of a
typical file name complete
with its path on the hard
drive. The path tells how to
get to a files location on the
hard drive.
Lets take a closer look: The
c:\ indicates what drive the
file is stored on. Each disk
drive, your floppy drive
(typically a), your hard drive
(c), and your CD-Rom
.(typically d) has a letter
assigned to it. This is how to
tell the computer what drive
you are working with.
The next part of our path,
"documents and settings\", is
a folder or directory.
Just like the manila folders
you use in a file cabinet keep


r

SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This
files organized, directories
on your computer organize
your computer files. Each
directory is separated by a
back slash (\) and you can
have directories within
directories.
In our example, the "my
documents" folder is in the
"owner" folder, which is in
the "documents and set-
tings" folder, which is on the
c drive.
The last part of our path is
the actual file name.
A typical file name comes
in two parts, the name,
separated by a dot and the
extension. The name is what
we call the file when we
saved it (a fairly important
thing to note when saving).
And the extension tells the
computer what kind of file it
is so it knows what kind of
program can open it.
Once you know the path to
a particular file, you can
access it from most of your
favorite programs.
For instance, say you got a
picture e-mailed to you and
yoti want to use that picture
in a letter you are writing
with your word processor.
The first step in getting the
picture into your letter
happens when you save the
picture from e-mail. Note the
full path and file name when
you save it and you can
access it any-time.
When you are ready to
import your picture, use the
insert menu (typical on most
word processors.) to load
your picture. When the
dialogue box comes up


asking what file you want to
insert; type in the file's full
path and filename. Start with
the drive letter, end with the
file name (dot) extension,
separate your directories
with back slashes and then
click OK, You should have
your picture inserted into
your letter.
As you can see, the path
and file name is enormously
important. So often I hear,
"it's on my hard drive, but I
don't know where" or "that
file is in my word processor."
If you pay attention to what
name and directory the file is
saved under.when you save
it, you won't have this
problem.,

FIREHOUSES ON THE WAY


Lawnwood Medical Center wins


'distinguished hospital' award


Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Rufus Alexander, Fort Pierce commissioner; Frannie Hutchinson and Chris Cooper,
Port St. Lucie city council; Ron Parrish, St. Lucie County Fire Chief and St. Lucie County
commissioners Joe Smith, Doug Coward and Chris Craft break ground to begin the
next phase of expanding the fire district to western Port St. Lucie. Two new stations will
open in the next year. Station 16 will be on Port St. Lucie Boulevard and McCall Street
and Station 17 will be located in Tradition on Village Parkway.


BY SAMANTHA JOSEPH
Staff writer
ST. LUCIE COUNTY -
Lawnwood. Regional Med-
ical Center & Heart Insti-
tute has done it again.
The Fort Pierce-based
hospital is among the
nation's top 5 percent,
according to an independ-
ent study of mortality and
complication rates by
HealthGrades, a health-
care ratings company.
It also won Health-
Grades' 2008 Distin-
guished Hospital Award for
clinical excellence for the
sixth year in a row, hospital
staff announced.
The award indicates that
patients admitted to hos-
pitals with this designa-
,


.tion are typically 27 per-
cent less likely to face
mortality and 5 percent
less likely to suffer from a
major complication than
their counterparts at other
facilities, according to a
statement from Health-
Grades.
Less than 270 of about
4,970 non-federal hospi-
tals will receive this dis-
tinction this year, the
group stated.
"This is really important,
based on the fact that it's
given because of our con-
sistency in quality care,"
said Lawnwood spokes-
woman Beth Williams.
Each year, HealthGrades
evaluates performance
data for a three-year peri-
od.


"So really, we've got nine
years worth of consistent
quality care for our
patients," Ms. Williams
said of the hospital's six-
year winning streak.
Lawnwood is one of 43
hospitals nationwide that
received this award five
-years in a row.
"It's taken a very con-
certed effort to get us to
this point," Ms. Williams
said.
HealthGrades estimates
that if all patients were
treated at hospitals at the
"distinguished" level,
healthcare providers could
have saved more than
171,400 lives and avoided
nearly 9,700 post-opera-
tive complications during
the last three years.

of Broadway at the Sunrise


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer
"The Producers" has
won more Tony awards
than any other show in
Broadway history.
-So, Brett Hancock, who
plays Roger DeBris, is


aware of how fortunate
he is to have the role in
the touring company of
the hit musical after only
his third audition in New
York.
The company comes to

You are divinely connected and blessed. You have

renew you from the inside out. Your blessings are
almost too numerous to count.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Mars in Gemini give you extra strength and
courage when life's challenges try to pull you
down. Sometimes, you have to show patience
with others who aren't as intuitive or instinctual as
you. One of the main keys for your success is to
express your desires in positive ways that make
others want to help you. Respect and love given
under fire brings back huge rewards.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
You live your life with a spirit of love and compas-
sion. When you turn inside and listen closely for
wise counsel, trust and act upon them, you are at
your best. The joy in your heart that comes from
sharing with others is one of your greatest
rewards. It comes from the deep well of gratitude
in your soul. Your example is a shining wonderful
light for others to follow.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22


You have a great, deep heart and a lot of motiva-
tion. You make it happen no matter what gets in
the way. Why? Because you never give up or quit
trying. You keep on keeping on. Life's challenges


make you try even more. Do things to lift your
own spirit as well. Now the joy in your heart gives
you courage and desire to continue to grow, serve
and flourish.

Virgo-Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The universal presence in you constantly inspires
you to do your best You wake up each day with joy
in your heart. You love to share with others you
meet along the way. You choose harmony over
chaos, peace over anger and love over fear. Because
of all these divine qualities, spirit has made you a
proponent of truth. If only more of us could be like
you, this world would be much better.
Libra-Sept. 23-Oct.22
Events over the past year have made you more self-
reliant and show you where change is needed.
Challenges in life seem to bring out the best in you.
You always rise up again, no matter what knocks
you down. You are a champion and winner in the
game of life. Your strong spirit is a light to others.

D-EINIa EN[HIERHH ENT


Entremont coming to Lyric


BY SHELLEY KOPPEL
Entertainment writer


In a career that spans more
than 60 years, pianist and
conductor Philippe
Entremont has played with
every major symphony
orchestra and on every world
stage.
I first heard him in New
York, when my parents took
me to hear him perform with
the NewYork Philharmonic.
He was at the start of his
career. When I retuned home,
I tore his photo from the
playbill and hung it on my
wall, next to my picture of
Mickey Mantle.
Fortyyears later, I will hear
him play again when he
performs with the Israel
Chamber Orchestra at the
Lyric Theatre on Wednesday
as part of the Treasure Coast
Concert Association's Ovation
Series.
Mr. Entremont, 73, spoke to.
me from his home in Paris.
"I was cleaning my music
library out for the last two
weeks," he said. "I found the
program of the very first
concert. I was 11 years old.
That means that right from
the start, I was meant for the
stage. I never thought about
doing something else."
Mr. Entremont has divided
his career between perform-
ing and conducting, and he is
conductor laureate of the
Israel Chamber Orchestra. He
sees no difference in the two
aspects of his career.
"I make music in both," he
said. "It's a real plus for me
because I can do a lot of
repertoire with no limitation.
It's not only piano music. My
curiosity about music is
huge."
The program on Feb. 13
with the Israel Chamber
Orchestra will feature
"Concertino for Piano,"

written by the orchestra's
musical director, Gil Shohat;
Mendelssohn's Symphony
No. 4, 'The Italian;' works by
Debussy; and Schumann's
"Piano Concerto in A minor."
"The Schumann is maybe
the most beautiful piano
piece ever written," he said.
"It's the supreme work. Gil
Shohat is the main composer
in Israel today, and I share the
program with the orchestra."
One of Mr. Entremont's
favorite subjects is the Santo
Domingo Music Festival,
which takes place in the
Dominican Republic every
two years.
"It's my baby," he said. "It's a


real success story. Santo
Domingo has a long history of
classical music; for years,
artists like Rubenstein and
me, were playing there.
Twelve years ago, I played a
concert in a fantastic hall, and
at dinner after the concert,
the idea of a festival crossed
my mind. I told the woman
seated next to me that I had a
vision, and she said she
would call me before I left.
She called, we met, and one
hour later, we had a festival.

Valentine's Day: Love, food


T t's here again, Valentine's
Day, so pay attention.
.Any advice I give I have
lived, and was happily
married for more than 40
years.
Is it easy to make a
marriage work for so many
years? Not on your life, but'
it is a most worthwhile
accomplishment.
There are times you love
that special someone to
death and there are times
you'd actually like to put
him or her to death.
Just remember to think:
we, us, our. To be loved, you
must be lovable. It is not
your right; it must be
earned. It doesn't take long
to know what buttons to
push and not to push. Talk
about feelings, wants,


needs, everything. Choose
your words carefully, you
can never erase them.
Timing is everything and
when anger or resentment
enters the picture that's not
the time to talk. Never lose
respect for the other
because once respect is
gone, love is soon to follow.
A candlelight dinner is a
wonderful way to celebrate
Valentine's .Day, especially
when eating out is not
affordable. Farm the kids
out to friends, relatives, etc.,
if possible and make
something easy.
Even take out-is OK.
Just set the stage and plan
to make the evening special.

boyfriend and I spent the

ONING INIE HHINM ENT


Producers
From page B1


In case you somehow
missed the plot of Mel
Brooks' madness, a once
successful Broadway
producer, Max Bialystock,
is told by his accountant,
Leo Bloom, that they can
make more money pro-
ducing a flop than produc-
ing a hit.
They team up to produce
the greatest flop in Broad-
way history, looking for
the worst director and
actors and finding backing
by romancing little old
ladies.
The show they come up
with is "Springtime for Hitler,"
written by a former Nazi. It's a
guaranteed loser, but it turns
into a hit. The show has old
ladies tap-dancing with
walkers, musical numbers
called "Springtime for Hitler"
and "Keep it Gay," and it is in
no way subtle.
It's not at all politically
correct. It is very funny.
"I play Roger DeBris, the
worst director in town," said


Entremont
-From page B3
All the money is private
money. It doesn't come from
the government. In 2009, we
will have tenor Ben Heppner
opening the festival."
Mr. Entremont has no plans
to slow down.
"For what?" he said. "What
is the alternative? I do
something very special. I
never considered it as a job. I
think it's a blessing that all
your life you do what you
love. It's so rare."
Philippe Entremont appears
with the Israel Chamber
Orchestra on Feb. 13 at 8 p.rnm.
at the Lyric Theatre as part of
the Treasure Coast Concert
Association's Ovation Series.
Tickets are $60; call the box
office at (772) 286- 7827 or
order online atwww.lyricthe-
atre.com.


"A year ago at this time, I was freezing, wait-
ing on tables and hoping something would
come along, and it did."

Brett Hancock
Playing Roger DeBris in 'The Producers'


Mr. Hancock. "In his mind, he
is the best. He's flamboyant.
When Max and Leo come to
see him, he's wearing a
$10,000 beaded ball gown.
He's fun, he's an old movie
buff and he's very grand. You
can really let loose. With
Roger, you can't go too far."
Mr. Hancock has been
playing Roger since August,
and the Jacksonville-area
native is looking forward to
coming to Florida, especially
in February. Family members
will get to see him at theaters
not too far from home. The
University of Mississippi
graduate is thrilled with his
success so far.
'A year ago at this time, I
was freezing, waiting on
tables and hoping something


would come along, and it
did," he said. "I love to sing,
dance and act. When this
tour is over, I'll go back to
auditioning, hope for another
tour and to end up on
Broadway,"
Stranger things have
happened. A show called
"Springtime for Hitler"
became a hit in a little
musical that made Broadway
history.
"The Producers" comes to the
Sunrise Theatre, 117 S. Second
St., Fort Pierce, for an 8 p.m.
show on Feb. 15. Tickets are
$60 and $50; call the box office

danced to the big band.
I vowed to someday make
that dinner for my husband.
It was many years before I
made it; he remembered
and said it was just as good
as the first time we had it.
It's quick and easy.
Since I can't remember
what the dish was called, I
simply named it Senior
Prom Steak.
Remember: renew your
commitments.
Valentine tidbits
Valentine's Day piqued my
curiosity since no one
knows its true origin.
Some trace it to an ancient
Roman festival.
There is ambiguous
evidence of two early
Christians, both named
Valentine, who were
martyred on Feb. 14 in
different parts of Italy. No
one knows for sure if there
was one or two, however,
one from Rome was
believed to have been a
priest and was sainted in
350 A.D.
Some believe the day's
origin came from an English
poet in the 1300s who chose

calm in the eye of the storm.
Go within, find your center
and patience, trust and faith
and the universe will guide
you and keep you safe.
Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Sometimes unexpected things
happen that interrupt our rou-
tines. Because you are the
archer and always set goals,
you always get back on track.
Creating a backup up plan is
insurance against failure. This
flexibility is what makes you a
great leader. Just remember
that behind every cloud in life
the sun still shines and a 'new
day is dawning.
Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Say this out loud upon arising.
"My life is filled with peace,
joy, love, light, health and
abundance in all things. Mine
is a great life. I gladly share my
blessings with others. I take
time each day to heal, renew
and be inspired. This is my
day. I see good in myself and
. all others I meet. I surrender
my will to the higher will. Now
everyone is blessed and more
good is on the way'."
Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
You are, a winner in life
because you carry courage,
conviction, integrity and love
in your heart. Your strong con-
science and loyalty makes you
want to do the right thing.
Because of your generosity,
the universe is ready to bring
you more accelerated vision,
growth and abundance. Enjoy
it all and continue to share.
Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Put your creative power to
work. The moon in Pisces
gives you an emotional boost.
Imagine what you want Be
innovative and original. Don't
wait for anyone's approval. Be
bold and decisive. Conceive
new and ideas and bring
them into manifestation. The
Process is idea, desire, action,
creation. You were born to do
great things. It's your destiny.

choose their mates on that
day.

DAVID GOODE
Religion columnist
recently wrote a
column that explained
how we fit into the "big
picture."
Let's take a giant step
back in time and move
forward slowly enough to
extract some priceless
nuggets from the cre-
ation story.
In the process we will
experience the excite-
ment of discovering
gripping Bible stories
and the practical ways we
can learn to apply them
in our lives.
To know God as com-
pletely as we possibly
can, let's start at the
beginning, in the book of
Genesis. This first book
of the Bible opens our
eyes to a reality that is
"God-shaped" and "God-
filled."
Genesis gives us a
succession of real stories
of real people with
names. People, who
loved and quarreled,
believed and doubted.
People who experienced'
sin and grace, fell in love,

married and had chil-
dren.
As we read, we get
involved in the drama.
When this happens, we
begin.to see ourselves as
present day, living .
variations of the Bible
characters. (
The Bible stories in
Genesis clearly show that
we are never outsiders or
spectators to anything
"in heaven or on earth!"
We are a part of every-
thing God is doing. Let's
get started and take our
place in "God's story."
God doesn't relate to us
from the remote reaches
of space. He lives inside of
us.
God is not -interested in
religion or rituals. Instead,
He longs for us to have an
intimate, affectionate, one
on one relationship with
Him. A relationship with-
God is twenty-four hours
a day, seven days a week!
Genesis is an epic, a
collection of momentous
events. It moves swiftly
from the world as God
made it to an "imperfect.
world," as we know it. .
This "imperfect world"
was brought about by the
fall of Adam and Eve into
sin in the Garden of Eden.
In Genesis chapter one,
we find the "Creation
Hymn."
It is a poetic picture, in
words, that describe the
measured, majestic'
movements of the cre-
ative hand of God.
In the beginning noth-
ing existed except for
God, the Father, His son
Jesus, and God's Holy
Spirit.
Genesis 1:1 declares,
"In the beginning, God
created the heavens and
the earth. The earth was
formless and empty;


"In the beginning, God created the heavens
and the earth. The earth was formless and
empty; darkness was over the surface of the
deep. The spirit of God was hovering over the
waters."


Genesis 1:1


darkness was over the
surface of the deep. The
spirit! of God was hover-
ing over the waters."
Astronomers estimate that
the galaxy, to which our
earth and solar system
belong, contains over
30,000,000,000 suns.
Many of them are
immensely larger than our
sun. Our sun is a million and
a half times larger than the
earth.
'The MilkyWay is shaped
like a thin watch. Its diame-
* ter, from rim to rim, is
200,000 light-years.
This is only a tiny speck
compared to what is
beyond, in the infinite,
endless stretch of space.
God the creator completed
his masterpiece by creating
man and woman, his
crowning achievement.
God's creative hand
scooped clay from the
ground and heaped it up,
until a human form lay
lifeless.
The angels must have
stood silent and gazed upon
this lifeless form, as God
breathed life and spirit into
his special handiwork.
Then God did something
astonishing; He placed the
seed of choice into
mankind. He gave his
highest achievement, man,
afreewill.
Picture the scene as angels
with a puzzled look upon
their faces said, "but what if
he chooses not to love?"
And God surely must have
answered by saying, "If I


remove the freedom of
choice, I.remove the love!"
After sin entered the
world, God, in his mercy
and grace, provided for the
redemption of mankind.
God sent his son, Jesus
Christ into the world, to
bring his crowning achieve-
ment, mankind, back into
fellowship with Him.
In the Ancient Near East,.
people subscribed to
various myths of how the
world came to be.
, Over and against all these
pagan myths, Moses, the
author of Genesis taught a
radically new doctrine of
creation.
The one and only true
God, by a series of royal
creation decrees, called into
being the divinely ordered
world.
Those same decrees
issued from God's royal
council chamber, continue
to uphold and govern planet
earth today.
Heart ofWorship is a
family-friendly, informal,
interactive, non-denomina-
tional fellowship. Come
expecting to see the power
of God demonstrate the
miraculous.

FOR HOMETOWN NEWS

The. organization that
helps provide housing for
low-income families in St.
Lucie County recently was
itself the recipient of much
needed habitat assistance.
St. Lucie Habitat for
Humanity had outgrown.
its offices on Okeechobee
Road in Fort Pierce, when
a generous benefactor
offered the organization a
building twice the size of
its current location with a
monthly mortgage pay-
ment that was less than
half the rent it was paying.
However, there was one
problem: the building,
which was built in, the
1950s and at various times
was a residence, dentist
office and chiropractic
center, needed extensive
work before the Habitat
staff could move in.
Upon hearing this, Tim,
Mehaffey, owner of Mehaf-
fey Construction Co., vol-
unteered his firm's time


and resources to perform
the needed work at no
charge, including con-
struction management,
installing new sheetrock,
spackling, painting and
other services.
As a result, the Habitat
staff was able to move to
its new quarters at 702 6th
Street far ahead of the
anticipated move in date.
"Because of our reliance
on volunteers, the entire
project was moving very
slowly until Tim and his
crew arrived on the scene,"
said Al Rivett, Habitat's
Executive Director. "Once
they started, the pace of
remodeling moved with
lightening speed, and our
eight offices are now close
to completion. Thanks to
their help, we were able to
move in on January 28,"
said Mr. Rivett.
The City of Fort Pierce,
through its Redevelop-
ment Agency, provided
$37,000 in grant money for
the office project.


Habitat for Humanity
projects have become a
Mehaffey family affair.
In addition to assisting
with the organization's
new offices, Tim Mehaffey
and his son Christopher,
20, are helping to build a
house in Fort Pierce that
Habitat will offer to a local
family in need.
The Mehaffeys are work-
ing with students from
John Carroll High School
tocomplete a three-bed-
room, 1,200 square-foot
house that is scheduled to
be completed by the end
of the current school year.
"Even though he's cur-
rently attending college,
Christopher still has
strong ties to his high
school.and its staff. When
he heard about the Habitat
project, he volunteered to
help immediately. Seeing
that kind of concern for
others inspired me to get
involved as well, and I'm
thoroughly enjoying the
experience," Tim Mehaffey
said.

I See CAPSULE, C4


BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer

While with the Yankees,
Scott Proctor came to
work every day knowing
he might have to square
off against baseball's most
dangerous hitters with the
game on the line.
However, in early 2006,
the Martin County native
faced his toughest oppo-
nent not on a baseball
field, but in a doctor's
office.
Only three weeks after
experiencing the joy of the
birth of their second child
Mary Elizabeth, Proctor
along with his wife Carrie
learned that their daugh-'
ter needed life-saving sur-
gery to fix a main artery of
her heart.
"It-never full developed,"
Proctor said. "That put
extra strain on her heart.
"She was gradually
dying."
Thankfully, the Proctors'
local pediatrician and
heart specialists at St.
Mary's Hospital made the
correct diagnosis and
Mary Elizabeth was taken
by helicopter to "Jackson
Memorial Hospital in
Miami where she under-
went life saving open-
heart surgery.
"We were very lucky that
they detected it when they
did," Proctor said. "They
were able to fix the prob-
lem.
"Now, she's developing
quite well. She's growing
up the same like every-
body else.
"I definitely felt there
was someone looking out
for her. It was God's will if
she made it or not.
"We're definitely lucky
He chose for her to stay
with us." ,
The traumatic experi-
ence not only inspired the
Proctors to count their
blessings, but also try to
make a difference in the
lives of others.
"After the ordeal with
our daughter, we were
approached by the Univer-
sity of Miami to start an
organization," Proctor
said. "At the beginning, it
just benefited them.
"After I talked with my
agent, family members
and friends, I thought the
foundation could do
more."
The result was M.E.'s
Team, named after his
daughter.
"It's about helping kids


on the Treasure Coast with
sports and education,"
Proctor said. "We also
make a donation to the
Miller School of Medicine
at the University of Miami,
which does research and
development into what
our daughter had."
Recently, Proctor hoste'd
a local event to help raise
money for the foundation.
The M.E. Team Celebrity
Benefit Ball and sporting
clays, tournament that fol-
lowed the next day were
both a huge success.
"Every donation helps,"
Proctor said. "Whether
someone is paying one
cent or a thousand dol-
lars."
While the experience of
getting to spend time with
Proctor, as well as current
Yankee superstars Johnny
Damon and Kyle
Farnsworth was priceless,
the same can be said of
Proctor's career thus far in
the big leagues. The Los
Angeles pitcher has slowly
established himself into
being one of the most reli-
able relief pitchers in the
game, although his suc-
cess did not come
overnight.
After a starring on varsi-
ty for three seasons with
Martin County High
School, Proctor was draft-
ed in the 17th round by the
New York Mets. Although
tempted by the allure of
beginning his Major
League career, Proctor
decided to put his dreams
on hold and hone his skills
at the collegiate level.
"(Being drafted) that
was awesome," Proctor
said. "But they didn't offer
me enough money to turn
down FSU.
"Plus, I wanted to pur-
sue an education to have
something to fall back on."
Although Proctor didn't
pitch until his senior year
with the Tigers, and then
sparingly because of a
stress fracture in his
elbow, he found a new
home on the mound in
Tallahassee.
"When they offered me a
scholarship, they told me
to take my last swings, that
you're a pitcher now,"
Proctor said. "I had a lot to
learn.
"I had some good teach-
ers and some good team-
mates."
Proctor shined with the
Seminoles, going 10-2 in
60 games during his stay

Fire coach reflects on'Super' career


BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer

With all respects to Web-
ster, passion is spelled
"Holmes."
Former Vero Beach High
School and New York
Giants superstar Kenny
Holmes is enjoying his first
season as head coach of
the semi-pro Fort Pierce
Fire, which is fitting since
that is what he brings to
the position.
"Kenny brings NFL expe-
rience to the team," part
owner Ktirt Holden said.
"At this level that's very
rare.
"We're moving along
quickly with Kenny being
on both sides of the ball."
So far this year, the Fire
has torched its way
through the competition.
Counting its preseason
win over the East Coast


- Reapers, as well as its 24-0
shutout of Lowell during
National Bowl Weekend
and its regular season
opening victory over the
Orlando Rage, the Fire is in
serious contention for a
Southern States Football
League championship
with Holmes at the fore-
front.
"Coaching the Fire, I've
grown to love it," said
Holmes. "It's my third sea-
son this year.
"Before, I was defensive
coordinator/head coach
both previous years. Now,
I'm strictly the head coach.
"Now, I have to be really
involved in the offense. If
you don't score, you can't
win.
"You have to have a bal-
ance of where to put play-
ers. When the last whistle
has sounded, you wonder
did I make the right deci-

sion?
"Only the great ones do.
That's when you know you
have arrived. When you
look at this guy and look at
his stats and say you're not
a tight end, you're a defen-
sive end.
"That's what a great
coach did with me."
Holmes is referring to
former Vero Beach head
coach Billy Livings. As a
young player, Holmes
bounced around from
position, to position until
Livings took his budding
superstar aside one day.
"I was a quarterback ini-
tially," said Holmes. "Then
I was a defensive back.
Then a tight end.
"He (Livings) came up to
me and said, 'you're not a
tight end, you're a defen-
sive end. Promise me,- you
won't stop thanking me.'
"And I haven't."
Holmes moved on to the
University of Miami where
he became a stalwart of
the legendary Hurricanes'
defense. Appearing in 44
games with Miami,
Holmes recorded 207 tack-
les and 29 sacks. His play
earned him a spot on two
first-team All-Big East
teams.
"That was my, first
choice," Holmes said.
"That's every red-blooded
American male's first
choice.
"It was the school that
had the camaraderie and
spirit that I wanted to be a
part of. I'm a family guy,
and they had the atmos-
phere that we take care of
-our own. It's us against the
world.
"As long as I know I've got
your back, and you've got
mine. That's the kind of
attitude that Miami.
breeds.
"That's the swagger that
everyone hates. They look
at us overcoming all the
odds,_this tiny, tiny school
winning national champi-


onships.
"We believe in each
other. We. carry that into
football games and into
life.
"People misinterpret
that. They hate you just
because you're good.
"That just fuels. the fire.
That's the fertilizer for the
Miami greats."
Holmes parlayed his suc-
cess at UM into a first-
round selection by Ten-
nessee in the 1997 draft.
"That's a feeling I wish
everybody in America
could feel," Holmes said.
"It's like the world has
stopped and is watching
your name being called
and watching some of your
better plays."
Holmes quickly made an
impact with Tennessee.
His first career start was on
Nov. 9, 1997, against the
New York Giants. Filling in
for the injured James
Roberson, Holmes made
five tackles and a sack.
The following season,
Holmes continued to
improve, recording 46
tackles. In 1999, Holmes
had another successful
year, making 38 tackles to
go along with four sacks. It
was in the postseason that
he truly shined, adding
two sacks, seven pressures
and a. forced fumble in
helping the Titans to the
Super Bowl.
However, there wouldn't
have been an AFC Cham-
pionship if not for a spec-
tacular game-winning play
in th4e wild card game with
the Buffalo Bills forever
known as the "Music City
Miracle."
Down 16-15 with only
seconds remaining in the
game, the Titans received
the kickoff with seemingly
slim hopes of getting into
field goal range to attempt
the game winner. Lorenzo
Neal got the ball and hand-
ed it off to tight end Frank
Wycheck. Wycheck in turn
lateraled the ball across
the field to Kevin Dyson,
who inexplicably ran down
the sidelines for a 75-yard
touchdown and the win.
"That is the most memo-
rable single play that I'll
carry on with me for the
rest of my life," said
Holmes. "I'll tell my grand-
kids' grandkids that I was
there."
Unfortunately, the Titans
fell short in its Super Bowl
quest, but Holmes' per-
formance in the playoffs
showed signs of things to
come. In 2000, he enjoyed
his finest season in the
pros, establishing career-
highs in sacks with eight,
tackles with 73 and forced
fumbles with five..
After his career season,
Holmes signed with the
New York Giants as a free,
agent.
"The Giants organization
is truly iconic," Holmes
said. "Along with Green
Bay, you associate them
with American football. It's
like the Yankees (in base-
ball)."
While all his time in
practice and watching
game films had prepared
him for whatever took
place on the football field,

his first year as head coach of the Fort Pierce Fire.


nothing readied Holmes
for what he would experi-
ence in his first few games
as a Giant the events of
Sept. 11.
"We had just got back
from playing the Broncos
on Monday Night Foot-
ball," said Holmes. We
were at the same airport
that (the terrorists) flew
out of.
"We were at the airport
the same time the terror-
ists were there. Later, I ate
something and went to lay
down, and I heard a boom
and then later another
boom.
"Seeing them (twin tow-
ers) from the Jersey side
and watching those towers
fall knowing people were
in there had me shaken --
to watch so many people
die.
"People (the players)
were touched. We all said if
there was a. draft now, we
would all go to war."
Understandably shaken,
the Giants like the rest,
-of the world struggled to
return to normalcy follow-
ing the horrific events.
New York returned to the
field Sept. 23, a 13-3 win at
Kansas City. From there,
the Giants struggled to
maintain any consistency,
finishing the season with a
7-9 record.
In 2002, Holmes helped
the Giants to a 10-6 record,
which was good' enough
for second place in the
NFC East. The following
season, Holmes was, on
pace to have the greatest
season of his young career
before an -injury forced
him to the sidelines.
"My knee was too' shot,"
said Holmes. "I couldn't go
on. I was having my best
season ever.
"The first two or three
games, I had four or five
sacks, and then this hap-
pened."
Holmes had arthroscopic
surgery and attempted a
comeback with Green Bay
after signing a one-year
deal. Unfortunately, after
playing with the Packers in
the preseason, Holmes


decided to end his once-
promising career.
"Everybody expected me
to come back," said
Holmes. "My knee was
swollen up. I couldn't take
it anymore. I decided to
retire.
"So long as I don't run
around on it, (my knee) is
decent. It still hurts, but
being able to walk is a
good thing."
Although he isn't able to
play, his professionalism
and dedication has worn
off on. his players. The Fire
continued its domination
of the Southern States
Football League with a 34-
13 rout of the Florida
Thunderbirds 'on Feb. 2.
While his current team was
staying undefeated,
Holmes' former team gave
the Patriots its first loss of
the season in Super Bowl
XLII.
"I'm pulling for the Big
Blue to win," Holmes said
before the game."They
have to rush guys up the
middle. I think they have a
chance to win." '
Holmes knows a little bit
about the Giants defense,
having played along
Michael Strahan, while
helping tutor defensive
end Osi Umenyiora, who
was drafted in Holmes'
final year with the team.
"Me and Strahan were
starting," said Holmes. "I
knew Osi was going to
become real good.
"I still stay in touch with
them. I .talked to them
before the Tampa Bay
game.
"The Super Bowl is really
distracting by the way.
There is time you have to
spend with the media;
time you want to spend
with your family.
"I'll call them before (the
game). On second thought,
I want them to focus on
the game. ,I'll call them
after they win."
After the Giants' 17-14
victory, it is a call Holmes
will happily make.
"I have to say they've
deserved everything they've
gotten," Holmes said.

Manufactures may be giving golfers the shaft with new offerings


mhe biggest topic at
T this year's PGA
Merchandise Show,
and the subject of many e-
mails from readers, is the
new drivers with
adjustable, interchange-
able shafts.
Several of the big manu-
facturers are getting
onboard with the idea that
golfers have a need and
desire to change the
performance aspects of
our clubs more often than
we think.
If the open market
connectors that I am
beginning to see work
Well, do not affect feel and
prove durable for play, we
have a great future. If they
do not, and we are stuck
with one particular '-
company's proprietary
system, it will flop.
Callaway, Ping and
Nickent introduced their
versions of the system at
the show. Each company's


driver features its own
proprietary connector,
meaning that once you
purchase a head or shaft in
the system from that
company, you are pretty
much stuck with them.
Shafts from Callaway
with its connector will not
fit a Taylor Made head
from its system nor one
from Nickent or Ping.
This is where I see the
potential for a huge
problem. The cost to get
just one driver head and a
shaft or two will run
around $1,000. If you
desire to truly tinker with
different lofts and differ;
ent shafts, the cost rises
steeply.
Another problem is that
none of the systems allow
the golfer to fine tune-
shaft flex or orientation.
Also, the companies will '
not sell you just the
connectors, because they
want to sell you the shafts.


JAMES STAMMER
Golf columnist

This is where I begin to
see their true intentions.
The goal of the big
companies and their
interchangeable systems is
to take the custom shaft
business away from the
custom guys and small
club builders. They also
want to stop the embar-
rassment of seeing their
off-the-rack drivers'
performance enhanced by


simply putting in a shaft
that better fits the con-
sumer.
Many custom.club
builders and fitters have
their own connector
system, allowing them to
put any of their shafts into
any of the heads they offer.
In fact, SMT Golf is
offering a connector for
around $20 that can be
installed in any head and
onto any shaft.
The cost for one of SMT's
systems is far less than the
grand the mass-market
OEMs are asking, and
you'll be better able to test'
any shaft with any head
and you can tweak the
swingweight, the flex and
more, all to your liking.
Taylor Made is making its
goals pretty clear. Its kit
comes with a driver head
and three exotic shafts for
$999. The price of the
shafts alone through a
club fitter would be more


than that. What this may
do is undermine the
consumer's confidence in
the custom market by
effectively giving you the
head for free..
What I question is why
anyone would purchase
three shafts that are so
completely different that
likely only one will fit their
swing. The consumer is
then stuck with two shafts
that will only fit one
company's head, making
them far less valuable to
sell or trade.
Overall, the best value in
a system from one of the
big guys is the one from
Nickent. For $479 you get a
head and two shafts. Both
are USTV2 shafts, one
high launch and one
regular. That at least gives
a player something to play
with. Also, Nickent isn't
trying to grab all of the
shaft business for
itself. Nickent is planning


to sell its connectors to
qualified custom shops so
you can get any shaft fitted
to a Nickent head at a
reasonable price.
Personally, I think that
Callaway, Ping and Taylor
Made are taking a risky
road. They're going for the
big bucks without a
product that is technically
correct at a good
price. Their gamble to
claw their way back into
the shaft business without
technical superiority may
work, but only if buyers
ignore the economics.
We'll have a lot of fun
waiting.to see how this one
.plays out.

Proctor
From page C1


there. Proctor's perform-
ance markedly improved
his stock in the draft, ele-
vating him to a fifth-round
pick by the Dodgers .in
1998.
Proctor moved up
through the Dodger farm
system, including stints
with the Vero Beach
Dodgers, Jacksonville Suns
and Las Vegas 51s. Just
when he was on the verge
of making it to the big
leagues, he was traded to
the New York Yankees on
July 31, 2003, forcing Proc-
tor to leave behind the
only organization he had
ever known.
"It was rough," Proctor.
said. "Trying to reestablish
yourself all over again.
"Luckily, I was traded
with someone (Bubba
Crosby) that I had come
up with."
Proctor was assigned to
the Yankees' Triple-A affili-
ate, the Columbus. Clip-
pers. He made his Major
League debut the follow-
ing season against the
Chicago White Sox on April
20, 2004.
"It was cold," Proctor
said. "I was nervous. It's
something I'll never for-
get.
"You really feel like
you've made it when you
get your first inning as a
pitcher. You feel like you
belong."
Proctor's best year in
New York came in 2006,
where he emerged as one
of the best.set-up men in
the game. Proctor led the
American League with 83
appearances, giving man-
ager Joe Torre a viable
alternative; out of the
bullpen.
Proctor went 6-4 on the
year with a save in 102.1
innings. He struck out 89
while walking just 33,
posting a 3.52 ERA.
"It's a constant battle,"
Proctor said. Redirecting


yourself to get better every
day is a constant battle.
"It's like they say, it's
hard to get to the major
leagues, but it's even hard-
er to stay there."
* Unfortunately, despite
his versatility and value to
the, team, Proctor was
traded back to the Dodgers
in the latter half of 2007,
bringing the reliever back
to his roots and back home
for spring training for
now.
"I was a little bit down
leaving the Yankees," Proc-
tor said. "It's where a lot of
players dream to play.
"It was like playing for
an All-Star team. It was
priceless. You could sit
down and talk to Derek
Jeter, Roger Clemens,
Randy Johnson, every-
bddy.
"It was like sitting in a
baseball library. There was
an endless amount of
information.
"But it's the way the
game is. It's a business.
Proctor finished the sea-
son strong and is looking
forward to 2008 when he
hopes to help lead Los
Angeles to the Promised
Land. The Dodgers fur-
thered its chances of doing
so, but not only adding
Proctor, but by snatching
up his former skipper in
the off season.
"Joe's a phenomenal man-
ager," Proctor said.' "He's a
very competitive individual.
His ultimate goal is to win."
With Spring Training on
the horizon, Proctor is hop-
ing the Dodgers can do just
that.
"I'm healthy and ready to
go," Proctor said. "If I have a
good year and we lose, it's
unsuccessful.
"If I have a bad year and
we win a championship,
that's what it's all about.
"But my goal is do my part
and help the team achieve a
championship."
