l.. HOW WEIRD
S IS THAT?!
SEAN MCCARTHY



S spend any time
surfing the Web and
you are bound to find
stories that are just too
bizarre to be true. Here's a
sampling, edited for
length. And remember,
just because it's online
doesn't mean it's true!
From news.aol.com:
World's priciest beer to be
auctioned
The world's most
expensive bottle of beer
went on the auction last
block Saturday; just don't
expect to drink it.
According to Andrew
Aldridge of the British
auction house Henry
Aldridge and Son, the
contents are downright
undrinkable. That's
because the beer bottle,
which is still about 80
percent full, survived the
famous fiery crash of the
Hindenburg in New Jersey
more than 70 years ago.
A milk pitcher that
survived the crash will be
sold as well. The Hinden-
burg was the largest
aircraft ever to take to the
skies. On May 6, 1937, the
hydrogen gas in the
airship caught fire and 36
of 97 passengers died.
According to the auction
catalog, a local fire chief
recovered the pitcher and
several beer bottles from
the crash. He gave five of
the bottles to colleagues
and one to the Lowenbrau
brewery. The pitcher
bears the logo of the
Hindenburg's company.
The other bottles have
been lost.

The St. Lucie County

Nov. 19 is one day after

Charter school to appeal closure


District says school
lacks adequate funding
By Jay Meisel
Meisel@hometownnewsol.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY The Char-
ter School of Fort Pierce will appeal
the St. Lucie County School Board's
decision to close it.
Diane Allerdyce, the director, said
the school, which serves students in
grades six to 10, has 30 days to
appeal to the state Department of
Education.
The school is appealing a decision
last week by the school board that


came over the objection of many
parents whose children attend the
charter school.
"I don't think they gave us a fair
chance," Ms. Allerdyce said.
Unless something changes, the
school must close Nov. 30. St. Lucie
County School District officials say
they'll be working with the school's
125 students to reassign them.
The St. Lucie County School Board
has the authority to approve a new
charter school and to close it. Char-
ter schools are public schools oper-
ated by private entities.
Michael Lannon, St. Lucie County
superintendent of schools, recom-
mended closing the school, saying


it's not financially viable.
Founders had good intentions,
Mr. Lannon said, but added that's
not enough.
"There's a business of the heart,
but they operate with cash," he said.
"While well intentioned, the school
fails as a business."
Initially, he said, the plan called
for 250 students to attend the Char-
ter School of Fort Pierce. But that
was later dropped to 180, and now
only 125 attend, he said.
The problem, Mr. Lannon said, is
that the school failed to attract ade-
quate numbers of students to make

Copper


thefts on


the rise
By Jay Meisel
Meisel@hometownnewsol.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY-
James Matula, owner of
Matula Electric, began
noticing that the pile of
electrical wire containing
copper on his property was
getting smaller.
He dealt with the situa-
tion by installing a night
vision surveillance camera
that produced a clear photo
of two men next to the pile
on Nov. 6, according to St.
Lucie County Sheriff's
Department reports.
The photo helped St.
Lucie County deputies nab
two suspects this month,
according to reports.
Sgt. Adam Goodner, head
of the property crimes divi-
sion of the St. Lucie County
Sheriff's Office, said author-
ities have seen an increase
in thefts of copper wire.

BOARD CERTIFIED BY
THE AMERICAN BOARD OF
DERMATOLOGY


Joey Jordan, 14, reads to
Diane Allerdyce, director of
the Charter School of Fort
Pierce during class time
last week. The Charter
School of Fort Pierce will
appeal the St. Lucie County
School Board's decision to
close it.

it financially viable.
Not only does the school
have problems paying its
basic bills, but also faces
addressing 59 areas of con-
cern by the state, of which
44 require spending money,
he said.
School board member
Carol Hilson said the finan-
cial problems left no choice
but to close the school
because of concern about
the students.
"It's not that I don't have a
heart," she said, but added
the board must do what is
in the best long-term inter-
ests of the students.
But Ms. Allerdyce said she
believes the school could
meet the challenges if given
more time. She noted that
at the time of the board's
decision, six additional stu-
dents had applied to enroll.
As for the state's con-


cerns, she said, the school
can meet all but two with-
out spending money.
The difficulties were
started by unforeseen prob-
lems at the start, she said.
Renovations of the
school's space at the former
Orange Blossom Mall on
the other end from the St.
Lucie County School Dis-
trict headquarters took
longer than expected, she
said.
That left the school with
no office from which to
recruit students, she added.
Not long after school
began last year, she said,
Tropical Storm Fay flooded
the school, requiring tem-
porary relocation to the
outlet shopping center west
of Interstate 95.
In looking toward the
future, Ms. Allerdyce said if
the appeal is successful, she
believes the school can suc-
ceed, provided there's
enough community sup-
port. She believes the


school can run with a lower
budget than Mr. Lannon
believes and it can obtain
donations of used comput-
ers and other items to meet
immediate concerns.
Rather than the district
and the school working
together, she said, she
believes the district had the
objective to close her
school.
Many parents at the
meeting agreed with Ms.
Allerdyce that the school
needs more time to suc-
ceed.
One father said his son
failed to strive in the public
schools, but has succeeded
at the charter school.
Susan Barette, a board
member for the school and
a downtown business
owner, said she invested 12
years to see downtown
become what it has
become.
The charter school needs
more time to reach its
potential, she said.

"The crimes are occurring
more frequently because of
the status of the economy,"
he said. "People are out of a
job are looking for ways to
feed their families or their
drug habits or whatever."
In the Matula case, Sgt.
Goodner said, the quality of
the still photo from the sur-
veillance camera was key to
making the arrests in the
theft of wire, valued at
$5,000.
The chances of solving the
crime without the photo
would have been between
"slim and none," he said.
Treasure Coast Crime
Stoppers received two calls
identifying Jimmy Mendoza,
23, homeless, as one of the
suspects.
In addition, he said, a sus-
pect in an unidentified case
implicated Mr. Mendoza.
After being arrested, Mr.
Mendoza implicated
Charles Russell "Rusty"
Crooks, 25, of 3515 Kirby
Loop Road, Fort Pierce, as a
participant.
Mr. Mendoza and Mr.
Crooks were both charged
with burglary of an occu-
pied structure and third-
degree grand theft. Mr.
Mendoza also was charged
with resisting an officer
without violence.

A surveillance photo taken by a security camera at Matula Electric Co. appears to show to
men about to steal copper wire. The photo led to two arrests in the theft of the wire.


Charles Crooks


He told deputies that
before Nov. 6 he had
accompanied Mr. Crooks,
who denied any involve-


Jimmy Mendoza


ment in the thefts, to an
area outside of a fence at
Matula Electric to retrieve
some copper wire.
Mr. Crooks told him he


had previously stolen wire
from Matula Electric and
left it outside the fence for
later retrieval.
He also told deputies Mr.
Crooks gave him a map of
the Matula property and
told him to get into it.
On Nov. 6, an employee
at Matula saw someone
stealing the wire, but by the
time deputies arrived, the
man had left, a report said.
Sgt. Goodner said some-
times thieves will gradually
steal the copper over a
period of time from a large
pile.
That way, he said, the
owner might not immedi-
ately realize thefts were
occurring.

was reassigned outside the
classroom in June 2008
after asking other students
to vote on whether one
pupil should be voted out
of class.
Subsequently, the school
district suspended her for
a year, beginning Nov. 18,
2008.
Earlier this year, the
school board rejected a
recommendation from
Superintendent Michael


Lannon to remove Ms. Por-
tillo's tenure and put her
on an annual contract.
If she had lost her
tenure, the school district
could have chosen not to
reappoint her as a teacher
without a reason. With
tenure, she could only be
fired for cause.
The board's decision
came after more than 20
parents and teachers sup-
ported Ms. Portillo, with
many saying she was a
dedicated teacher who
went beyond what was
required.


The incident that led to
Ms. Portillo's suspension
began on May 21, 2008.
She told Port Lucie
Police that she sent 5-year-
old Alex Barton to the
principal's office because
he was disruptive.
When he returned, she
had students comment on
his behavior and vote on
whether he should be
removed from the class-
room.
Ms. Portillo told police
that the intent was never
to permanently remove
him.


Melissa Barton, Alex's
mother, was outraged and
filed a complaint with the
Port St. Lucie Police
Department. Her son was
later diagnosed with
Asperger syndrome, a form
of autism.
No criminal charges
were filed against Ms. Por-
tillo.
Earlier this year, Ms. Bar-
ton filed a federal lawsuit
against St. Lucie County
School District and other
defendants, contending
her son's civil rights were
violated.

School
From page Al

The hybrid buildings,
which are capable of han-
dling new technology and
are built to withstand hurri-
canes, were the temporary
home of Southbend K-8
School, which closed this
year because of budget cuts.
But residents of the Lin-
coln Park community con-
tended the hybrid buildings
are little more than glorified
portables.
For years during the era of
segregation, Lincoln Park
High School educated black
students, while Dan McCar-
ty High School was the
school for white pupils. The
schools were desegregated
in the early 1970s when Fort
Pierce Central High School
opened.


New Permanent Teeth...A Life Changing Experience


Modern Advances in
dental technology and
surgical techniques mean
now, more and more peo-
ple who have lost their
natural teeth can live
fuller, richer, and happier
lives. They allow the per-
son to go to favorite
restaurants and order
what they want to eat,
instead of what they can
eat. Dental implants can
restore a person's ability
to eat, smile, kiss and
talk with confidence and
comfort.





A dental implant is a
substitute tooth root that
provides a stable founda-
tion for replacement teeth.
The implant is anchored


into the jawbone through
a process where the bone
and the implant become
integrated, providing the
same stability as natural
teeth. This means that
replacement teeth can
look, feel, and function
just like real teeth!
Since dental implants,
like teeth, are embedded
in the jaw, the painful
chewing associated with
removable teeth is elimi-
nated. Unlike traditional
dentures, implants sup-
ports dentures so that
there is little pressure on
the gums.

l^yyT^ v ^^i^


Additionally, dental
implants can be used to
solve a variety of dental
problems. For example,
implants can be used to
replace a single missing
tooth instead of making a
traditional bridge. They
can be placed to support
an entire bridge where the
natural teeth are missing,
or they can be used to give
the patient a better fitting
denture so they can elimi-
nate the problems tradi-
tionally associated with
dentures.
Best of all, you'll be
able to smile more natu-
rally and be comfortable
in normal activities such
as talking, laughing, smil-
ing and eating.

plants as a solution to

ter is looking for parents to
participate in its Foster
Care Program. The center
provides all recruitment,
licensing, and re-licensing
of foster parents for Martin,

Dan McCarty became a
middle school, while Lin-
coln Park became a magnet
school.
Larry Lee, a member of
the committee, said he
recalled during segregation
Lincoln Park received hand-
me-down books and sup-
plies from Dan McCarty.
It would be wrong for that
to continue, he said.
The school district pro-
posed the hybrid buildings
because constructing a new
school would cost more
than $40 million.
But the district has only
about $12 million available
for improvements at Lin-
coln Park, at a time when tax
revenue is declining.
With that in mind, the
committee chose an inter-
mediate solution of using
building plans for other
middle schools rather than
starting from scratch.
That saves more than $20
million, said Samuel Gaines,
a former school board
member and chairman of
the committee.
Tim Bargeron, assistant
superintendent for business
services, said the district has
the capability to borrow up
to $20 million, making the
idea potentially feasible.
Committee members also
favored moving portables to
the site to house students
during construction. That,
however, could add to the
cost of the project.

for athletics allowing the
students to remain in the
building until the new one is
built or relocating the
students temporarily to
another location off campus
were rejected.
Alan Cox, principal of Lin-
coln Park Academy, said
relocating the students to an
off-campus site would cause
challenges because the mid-
dle and high school share
some teachers.
Another issue that
remains unresolved is how
to feed the students during
the construction phase, Mr.
Gaines said.
Although the committee
made the recommendation
unanimously, one member
voiced reservations.
Member Brad Gould
questioned spending a sig-
nificant amount of the dis-
trict's borrowing capacity on
one building.
But Mr. Lee said, consid-
ering that Lincoln Park for
many years received hand-
me-downs, "it's time the
community made a sacrifice
to do this building. We can't
keep pushing this off. It's
been pushed off for 40
years."
Member Bill Casey
agreed, saying that with its
history and status now as
one of the top schools in the
nation, Lincoln Park
deserves a new building.
The St. Lucie County
School Board will decide
whether to accept the rec-
ommendation.

TREASURING LIFE










"My wife, Heather, was an amazing woman and the center of our family. When she was
diagnosed with terminal cancer, we didn't know what to do.

"We didn't want to give up hope, so I called Treasure Coast Hospice right away. They got her
pain under control, and offered the services that enabled her to have a fulfilling life in the
final months. In fact, her quality of life was phenomenal.

"Treasure Coast helped me and our children, too. There's no way I could have gotten
through those times without them."

Enough is enough

When we read of repeat offenders committing additional
crimes, we wonder if judges and parole officers ever are
required to account for their actions in allowing the bad
guys to continue to prey on innocent citizens.
Police kill a man after he drew a 9mm Glock 19 on them.
Court records show he had been arrested 19 times and he
had been convicted of simple assault, drug offenses, gun
offenses, disorderly conduct and contempt. When is
enough enough?

Learn about health care reform

It is embarrassing that the U.S. is the only industrialized
country which does not provide health care for all its resi-
dents. It is even worse that many are not informed as to
how the proposed system would work.

What's the difference?

I have been on Medicare for some years, and before that, I
had very good insurance as an employee of the state of Ken-
tucky.
Medicare pays less for medicine and doctor's visits than I
would be charged, because it covers many individuals and
has bargaining power.
Insurance companies may pay for the cheapest, not the
best, treatment. Is that being in charge of your own health
care?
Individuals pay a monthly fee for insurance, as I do. I
choose my own doctors) and each year, pay for the first
$150 of care.

For veterans

On Nov. 11, Veterans Day, Americans had the opportunity
to show how proud we are of the boys who have served and
are serving in our military.
To volunteer to be in dangerous places such as Iraq and
Afghanistan, far away from friends and family, is a very spe-
cial indication that this country has many young people
who are committed, patriotic and selfless.
They have truly earned our gratitude and respect.

From the mouth of Franklin

When drafting the U.S. Constitution, Benjamin Franklin
gave the delegates some sage advice when he said, "I have
lived, sir, a long time; the more convincing proofs I see of
this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a
sparrow cannot fall to the ground without notice, is it prob-
able that an empire can rise without His aid?"

Where's the justice?

In 1981, Mumia Abu-Jamal shot and killed Philadelphia
police officer Daniel Faulkner execution style, and after a
trial, where several witnesses positively identified the
shooter, he was sentenced to death.
Now, after all this time, he is still laughing at our system of
justice because the taxpayers have been providing him with
room and board and a whole series of defense lawyers.
It seems that he may die of old age before he gets the jus-
tice which he truly deserves.

Stop importing criminals

We have far too many homebred criminals. We do not
need to import more. However, some people apparently
will do anything to make a buck. Consider the car wash
operator who over a 10-year period imported dozens of ille-
gal immigrants from Mexico. When he was finally caught, a
lenient judge gave him only a fine, home confinement and
probation. Such lenient treatment will do nothing to dis-
courage others from trying to get rich at the expense of
those who will work for pennies.

What's all the 'Skype' about?


If you spend any amount
of time surfing the Web
you are bound to run
across the name "Skype."
You may occasionally see
a "Skype me" button on a
Web site or even embedded
in an e-mail.
Skype is one of the
leading "voice over IP"
services on the Internet. It's
a program/service that
turns your computer into
an easy-to-use Internet
phone allowing you to
place calls to any other
Skype user for free, or any
"real" phone number for a
very low fee.
I know, I know. People
have been talking about
cheap (or even free) phone
calls over the Internet for
years and I think I even
wrote a column about
another VOIP service,
Vonage, awhile back, but
what is it about Skype that
warrants a closer look?
What is it that makes Skype
special?
Well, for starters: price.
It's cheaper than other
services out there, certainly
a lot cheaper than your
standard plain old tele-
phone system.
It's free to call other
Skype users and outgoing


COMPUTE
THIS
SEAN MCCARTHY


calls to regular, non-Skype
phones ("SkypeOut") range
around 2 to 4 cents a
minute. For a low yearly
fee, about $30 as I write
this, you can sign up for
unlimited outgoing calls.
Or, periodically, you can
load up on credits to use
when making outgoing
calls. There is a little meter
at the top of the program
that tells you how many
credits you have left as you
use them.
Also, they have special
rates for international calls.
Inbound calls are
handled a little differently.
You can either be set up to
receive inbound calls only
from other Skype users or
you can, for a low yearly
fee, buy a "Skypeln"
number. Pick whatever
area code you like and start
receiving calls. If your
computer is turned off or
you don't answer, you have
the option of letting the call
go to voice mail or forward-


ing the call to another
number, such as your cell
phone. The quality is
surprisingly clear.
So far, since I've been
using it, no one that I have
called on a regular phone
has suspected that I was
calling from my computer,
and no one that has called
my Skypeln number has
even suspected that they
were talking to me on my
computer. Or at least the
ones that I've asked haven't
anyway. So far, I have not
heard any distortion or
experienced any of the
issues that plagued early
attempts ofVOIP.
There are even some
pretty sophisticated
devices out there that work
with the service, such as
desk and cordless phone
modules that plug into the
USB port of the computer,
giving the system a true
telephone feel rather than
that "ham radio operator"
feel that computer head-
sets can often give you.
They have Wi-Fi handsets
that connect you to your
Skype service anytime you
have access to wireless
Internet, eliminating the
need to have a computer
on all the time and there
are even conversion kits,


again surprisingly cheap,
that let you convert your
home's phone wiring to
Skype.
I was reading about one
system that (when con-
nected to your house
wiring) lets you plug in
ordinary household
phones (wired, cordless,
etc.) into any jack in the
house and be able to make
and receive Skype calls.
With my current phone
bill as high as it is, I could
see how a system like that
could save a lot of money.
If you like the idea of
making cheap, long
distance calls without a lot
of hassles setting it up,
point your Web browser to
www.skype.com and read
up on it. The software is
free to download and
sports a guarantee that it's
free of spyware and other
malicious software.
The site is laid out well
with information readily
available, but if you do
have questions, call me at
(888) 752-9049 and I'll
answer what I can.

Coping with holiday grief, part one


Each year, I've written
a column with
advice from an
expert about coping with
holiday grief. This year is
no different; that column
will appear next week.
This week, I thought I'd
write about what I'm
planning to do in this
second year without Roy.
After the New Year, I'll let
you know how well it
worked out.
Roy and I made Thanks-
giving dinner for my mom
and dad in the last years
of his life. It was kind of
funny, because Roy, the
Englishman, loved
making a special day,
even if he didn't really
consider Thanksgiving a
holiday!
We set a lovely table
and did the turkey and
trimmings. Roy loved
bringing the turkey out
and we ate at our table
overlooking the lake. I
had even begun an after
dinner concert with some
of the songs I was working
on.
When Roy died in
September 2008, I knew I
was not ready to celebrate
anything. We had still
been planning for the
holidays that year.
This year, I'm in the
process of moving. I know
that experts say not to


make such a major
change during the first
year. In my case, financial
reality pushed me into a
decision that may well be
the right thing to do,
giving me a fresh start. I
will probably be very busy
around the holidays,
moving and setting up my
new home.
I will probably spend
Thanksgiving with my
parents, and we'll impro-
vise dinner or bring it in,
as my mother isn't really
up to cooking. We'll
probably do crossword
puzzles, as we often do
when the three of us are
together. It will be a quiet
day and I know I know I will feel
sad, but I know that it's
normal. I also know now
that grieving doesn't have
a timetable and that
holidays and anniver-
saries are hard.
Roy loved Christmas
and he was in charge of it.
Growing up Jewish,
Christmas was not a part
ofy my
parents were married on
Christmas day, so Roy and


I made a combined
Christmas- anniversary
dinner. This year, my
parents will be married 60
years.
Christmas was basically
a repeat of Thanksgiving,
except that we added
Christmas crackers, those
English novelties that you
pull open to get a sur-
prise.
We often listened to
music; Roy loved Pavarot-
ti and we would listen to
him sing. Sometimes I
sang, too, although not as
well as Pavarotti.
This year, I'll probably
be in a new home. I don't
know yet if I'll be ready to
start new traditions. I
know that's a step for-
ward, but I know that
sometimes you need to
take baby steps. Right
after Christmas, on Jan. 4,
comes what would have
been our 20th wedding
anniversary. I want to
commemorate that, too.
I know this second
season without Roy will
be bittersweet, but I have
the chance to begin to
make memories in my
new life. I think it will just
be part of the grieving
process I'm going
through, trying to figure
out what to do with the
rest of my life, including
special days.


For me, I think keeping
it quiet and simple this
year will be the best for
me. I'll have unpacking to
do, or still be in the
middle of a move. I'll
catch up on my work,
which is always therapeu-
tic, I'll watch some
seasonal movies and I'll
cry. I have learned that
crying is a necessary part

Promoting healthy seniors


Wellmed
stages special
events
By Jay Meisel
meisel@hometownnewsol.com
PORT ST. LUCIE Port St.
Lucie resident Evelyn Shea
picked up a remote control
last week and swung her arm
back as if she were bowling.
Then she swung her hand
forward, pressed a button,
and on a screen in front of
her, a bowling ball knocked
down pins.
"It's good exercise," she
said about Nintendo Wii
bowling, adding that she
moves around a lot when
she "bowls."
Mrs. Shea participated in a
Wii bowling event hosted by
WellMed, a medical practice
that specializes in providing
care to senior citizens and
anyone eligible for Medicare.
WellMed frequently holds
events, including senior
dances and information
seminars for seniors, to pro-
mote health and social inter-
action, which WellMed
believes helps people stay
healthy.
The events are open to all
seniors, regardless of
whether they are currently
patients atWellMed.
"It's a way for us to provide
a unique atmosphere for
people to become familiar
with our services," said
Nestor Lacayo, a doctor
based in WellMed's Port St.
Lucie offices.
WellMed is a physician
group based in San Antonio
started by George Rapier.
Dr. Rapier expanded the
practice to south Texas and
Austin and then into Florida
with one office in Orlando
and four on the Treasure
Coast, with two offices in
Port St. Lucie and one each
in Sebastian and Stuart.
WellMed strives to provide
personal quality care to

patients, Dr. Lacayo said.
One service appreciated
by patients, he said, is that
WellMed does its lab work
on site.
Patients don't have to trav-
el elsewhere to get tests done
and they receive results
faster, he said.
WellMEd also offers same-
day appointments for
patients who need to urgent-
ly see a doctor.
Doctors are on call 24
hours a day.
For new patients, WellMed
provides health screenings,
including checking blood
sugar and blood pressure.
WellMed will continue
having events for seniors, Dr.
Lacayo said.
Mrs. Shea said she enjoyed

Sniper's last day
It's a brighter day in the U.S. The D.C.
sniper was finally executed. After the hor-
ror he and his son brought to the D.C. area,
and throughout the country, it's peace of
mind to know that he is no longer able to
consume air, food or anything else that he
stole from his victims.
In his last moments, he stood defiant,
refusing to admit guilt, and unable to ask
for forgiveness. May he burn in hell.

allocation of $90,000. But
this year, thanks to funding
from the federal stimulus
package, Indiantown Non-
Profit Housing secured a
grant of $5.2 million, set to
be disbursed over the next
three years.
"It's roughly 20 times
what we typically receive,"
said Donna Carman, the
nonprofit's executive direc-
tor.
The group typically
assists 32 households each
month, providing services
such as sealing cracks in
homes to prevent air infil-
tration or updating water


heaters or refrigerators to
cut electricity costs.
But the increased funding
means that number is likely
to more than double to
about 64 households per
month.
The grant has also meant
new jobs for the area, as the
agency hired eight employ-
ees and plans to add a simi-
lar number, including cleri-
cal staff and installation
technicians, at the start of
next year.
"That's our ultimate goal.
It's been a long road getting
all the pieces in place, but
we plan to weatherize 30
homes every 30 days," Ms.
Carman said.
The program benefits
homeowners who are 60 or


older, physically disabled,
have children younger than
12 or repeatedly have high
energy bills. Income limits
also apply. To qualify, a sin-
gle applicant must earn
about $21,660, while a fami-
ly of four should have
income of about $59,060.
The program provides
several upgrades, including
insulation, solar window
screens, compact fluores-
cent lights and energy-effi-
cient cooling systems.
Beneficiaries typically see
a 20 to 40 percent cut in
their electricity bills after
the renovations, adminis-
trators say.

mation, call (877) 212-0309

Drainage
From page Al
tensen cautioned last
week, at Coffee With the
Mayor, that after the proj-
ect is finished, residents
should expect street and
swale flooding will con-
tinue during a major
storm.
"We're trying to avoid
seeing any homes flood,"
she said.
Streets and swales are
part of the drainage sys-
tem, she said.
The drainage project
was prompted by the con-
siderable flooding that
occurred during Tropical
Storm Fay in 2008.
The City Council agreed
on Oct. 9 to spend about
$7.5 million to buy land in
the Lennard Road area,
owned by James and
Genevieve Jackson,
Lennard Road Associates
and Azzi Enterprises.
Mayor Christensen said
she does not foresee buy-
ing any more land for the
project.
The plan involves creat-
ing large ponds to store
water during periods of
heavy rain.
To fund the project, the
City Council earlier this
year increased the city's

Visit us H


annual storm water
drainage fee from $133 to
$153.
Some residents have
objected to the plan, say-
ing the city should have
sought money from busi-
nesses, such as Sam's
Club, which they believe
has contributed to the
drainage problem.
When the flooding
occurred, some residents
lacked flood insurance.
Mayor Christensen said
part of the reason for that
was that for many years,
the land was listed in the
floodplain, but then
removed about 10 years
ago.
After it was removed,
lenders did not require
new homeowners to buy
flood insurance, she said.
She said, however, she
believes the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers will
put the land back into the
floodplain.
The mayor also said the
city has made consider-
able progress in seeking
permission from the state
to build a bridge to extend
Crosstown Parkway over
the St. Lucie River.
There's a 99 percent
chance the state will grant
permission, she said, but
the location of the cross-
ing remains unresolved.

TRAVEL


Try learning something on your next vacation


Take a step back in
time. Think back to
when you were young
and in school. Along with
your teacher and class-
mates, you may have taken
a field trip to a local muse-
um, historical site or even
the zoo.
Do you remember? I bet
you do because you were
there, in it, feeling it and
listening to someone
knowledgeable telling you
all about what you are
experiencing.
It may have been a visit to
something set in colonial
times and you are learning
how people lived back in
those days. You saw the
rather small dwellings that
they lived in and how they
cooked, retrieved water or
grew their own food. In your
young mind, you were
probably amazed more
about what they did not
have back then. The fact
that you got to see it and
feel it, made the entire
experience memorable.
These days, there are
quite a few options for you
to experience those same
feelings. There are many
tours and cruises you can
travel with that can to
enrich your life or at least
explore your interests.
Many deluxe cruise lines,
such as Crystal, SilverSeas
and Regent Seven Seas,
Seabourne and Oceania,
have enrichment programs


on board on all of the
various itineraries offered.
The topics depend upon
the itinerary. For example,
an Alaska cruise may have a
naturalist or Alaska special-
ist on board to speak on
their specialties.
On other sailings you may
have an archeologist that
may speak on the Mayan
ruins or the pyramids. Your
itinerary generally dictates
what specialist will be
aboard, however you may
have additional lecturers or
performers.
On a recent transatlantic
cruise aboard the Queen
Mary II, James Taylor
performed in concert.
Additionally, there were
lectures by a renowned
author and scientist.
Sometimes there are
artists, musicians, chefs,
sommeliers, photographers,
Egyptologists, academics,
historians and expedition
leaders, in addition to local
experts of the areas visited
while in port.
You may participate in
any of the adventures
offered or just listen to what
the speakers have to say on
the various subjects. They


even have technology
specialists on board that
can teach you new comput-
er programs or even how to
best use your new iPhone
(according to the cruise line,
these are very popular).
Even mass-market cruise
lines offer some lectures or
classes on board.
Specialty tours are
another option for learning
vacations. You may be
interested in taking a
gourmet and wine tour in
Tuscany, or the more
adventurous might take
advantage of a biking tour
of Holland, trek through the
Amazon, feel the pulse of
the local environment as
you visit the islands along
the Dalmatian Coast, tour
World War II sites in Europe
or Civil War sites here in our
own backyard. There are
incredible tours offering
various levels of activities
and interests.
Collette Vacations offers
Smithsonian Journeys
Travel Adventures, which
are worldwide learning
vacations. These are
custom-crafted tours
created for adventurous
travelers who seek the thrill
of discovery and learning.
Local expert speakers really
make the difference
between simply seeing, and
truly understanding, the
destination.
In 2009 they offered 18
escorted learning adven-


tures in Europe, South
America, Costa Rica,
Mexico, Asia, Australia, New
Zealand, Egypt, the U.S. and
Canada.
Tauck Tours offers
"Culturious" designed for
inquisitive travelers who are
curious about other cul-
tures. These small group
tours immerse the partici-
pants in the local environ-
ment and way of life. Tauck
Culturious offers tours to
Tuscany and Cinque Terre,
Provence, Croatia's Dalma-
tion Coast, Costa Rica, Peru
and the Amazon, Vietnam
and Cambodia, and Manito-
ba.
Other companies offering
learning tours are Lindblad
Expeditions in partnership
with National Geographic
and Abercrombie & Kent.
These are just a few of the
many companies offering
something more than just
touring or cruising, they
offer enrichment.
On your next vacation,
don't just bring home
photos and souvenirs, bring
home the experience of
what you have gathered on
your learning vacation. It
really is a new way to see the
world.

needed to take a driving
test. It took Cha Sa-soon
nearly 1,000 tries to pass
the written test for a
driver's license.
Cha Sa-soon, 68, finally
passed with a score of 60.
Police said Cha took the
test hundreds of times, but
had no specific total. Local
media said she took it 950
times.
Now she must pass a
driving test before getting
her license, Choi said.
From msnbc.rmsn.corn:
Texas man drives sports
car into pond; blames bird
A man blamed a low-
flying pelican and a
dropped cell phone for his
veering his million-dollar
sports car off a road and
into a salt marsh near
Galveston.
The Lufkin, Texas, man
told of driving his luxury,


French-built Bugatti
Veyron when the bird
distracted him, said La
Marque police Lt. Greg
Gilchrist. The Bugatti
Veyron is the fastest and
most expensive car in the
world.
The motorist dropped
his cell phone, reached to
pick it up and veered off
the road and into the salt
marsh. The car was half-
submerged in the brine
about 20 feet from the
road when police arrived.
Gilchrist said he doesn't
know if the car was
salvageable. He says the
man, whose identity hasn't
been released, was not
injured.

"Camelot" is one of Lern-
er and Loewe's master-
pieces.
The story of King
Arthur, Guinevere and
Lancelot, adapted from
T.H. White's "The Once
and Future King," had is
premiere during the
Kennedy administration
and for many, became a
symbol of that era.
A new tour of the show,
with Canadian perform-
ers and presented by the
producers of last year's
"Dirty Rotten
Scoundrels," comes to the
Sunrise Theatre on Nov.
28.
Mark Harapiak, who
plays King Arthur, spoke
about the challenge of
playing such a storied
role.
"I feel a tremendous
responsibility to the audi-
ence to play the role
well," he said. "It's been
played by Richard Burton
and Richard Harris. He is
tragic and, at the same
time, heroic. He's such a
powerful character, won-

derfully flawed. What he
creates is incredible, an
idyllic society that falls
apart partly because of
the rules he creates. He
can't take the law into his
own hands."
The story of King
Arthur, Guinevere and the
young knight, Lancelot,


has been told many
times. The original stage
version ran for five hours,
but Mr. Harapiak said that
this production is a good
deal shorter.
"It's a real gem," he
said. "Jayme Armstrong,
who plays Guinevere, is
an incredible performer.


She's worked at the Strat-
ford festival and she's a
wonderful singer and a
gifted actress. She's easy
to fall in love with every
night and to be heartbro-
ken when she falls in love
with Lancelot."

For Hometown News
News@hometownnewsol.com

FORT PIERCE -
Heathcote Botanical
Gardens presents its 22nd
annual garden festival on
Nov. 21 and 22. Gates are
open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
on Saturday and 10 a.m.-4
p.m. on Sunday.
The festival was estab-
lished in November 1988
with the purpose of rais-
ing funds to support
Heathcote, attract new
visitors and members to
the gardens, promote
educational programs
and promote the impor-
tance and enjoyment of
gardening and landscap-
ing.
Through this festival,
Heathcote provides the
community with a unique
family-oriented event
that attracts visitors and
residents alike, and
encourages them to cele-
brate the outdoor Florida
environment.
Heathcote is currently
involved in developing a
64-acre botanical park
with St. Lucie County and
the city of Fort Pierce and
renovating existing gar-
dens.
During the planning
process, bonsai master
Jim Smith made a pledge
to Heathcote of 100 bon-
sai from his extensive
sub-tropical collection.
"The significance of
this gift to Heathcote and
to tourism in St. Lucie
County is tremendous,"
said Amy Dahan, director
of Heathcote,


The gift will give Heath-
cote one of the largest
public displays of bonsai
in the country, compara-
ble to the Chicago and
New York botanical gar-
den collections, and will
require a full-time cura-
tor.
The festival will enable
visitors to view Heath-
cote's master plan, and
preview some of the bon-
sai collection. The Trea-
sure Coast Bonsai Society
will present a tribute to
Mr. Smith.
Vendors will offer
plants for sale, including
exotics, natives, tropical,
palms, orchids, herbs,
fruit trees, annuals and
perennials.
Horticultural experts
will be available all day
both days. Free soil test-
ing, rain gauges and water
savers will be available in
limited quantities. Free
and educational chil-
dren's activities will be
provided.
Admission is free for
children and garden
members and $6 for non-
members. A $1 discount
will be given on admis-
sion for a canned food
donation. Collected
canned goods will be
donated to local food
banks.
Heathcote Botanical
Gardens is a nonprofit
organization established
in 1985 on the former site
of Heathcote Nursery.

otanicalgardens.org or

Camelot
From page B1
Gabriel Burrafato, who
plays Lancelot, is an old
friend of Mr. Harapiak's.
The two have performed
together several times in
"Beauty and the Beast."
"History is repeating
itself," Mr. Harapiak said.
"We fought over the same
woman in 'Beauty and the
Beast,' too."
For the actor, the show
is, first and foremost, a
love story, although it has
an underlying theme.
"There's a message of
decency and hope for
humanity. Even in his
darkest moments, Arthur
has a stirring speech. We
wanted to show the honor
and decency."
Mr. Harapiak's favorite
song is "How to Handle a
Woman," but he admits to
having a soft spot for


Lancelot's ballad, "If Ever
I Would Leave You." The
show has many memo-
rable songs, including the
comic "Then You Take Me
to the Fair," "What Do the
Simple Folk Do?" and the
timeless "Camelot."
For Mr. Harapiak, the
timeless quality of the
show is embodied in the
famous words from that
song:
"Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a
spot
For one brief, shining
moment
That was known as
Camelot."

The national touring
company of "Camelot"
comes to the Sunrise The-
atre, 117S. Second St., Fort
Pierce, on Nov. 28 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $60 and $50.
Call the box office at (772)
461-4775 or order online

Scene
From page B1
much of the story is already in
dialogue form. I've used Dick-
ens' own language most of the
time, adding my own words
only when necessary. The set
will be flexible enough to
accommodate the action as it
moves from Scrooge's office to
his home and then to the sites
he visits. Costuming will have
a traditionalVictorian look."
Admission to the show is
free, but donations are
accepted.

Middle school to hold
holiday concert

The Hidden Oaks Middle
School chorus will hold a holi-
day concert on Dec. 14 at 7
p.m. The performance will

abala, Casey Morris and Con-
nor Morris recently returned

Roasting a turkey? Just pretend it's a large chicken


Hello, smart shoppers,
it's turkey time!
Check out my
cookbook special at the end
of the column.
Any brand turkey is good;
how you cook the turkey
will determine its moist-
ness. For my turkey, I make
my German Aunt Margie's
sausage stuffing. According
to my daughter-in-law, Lisa,
"It should be patented!"
Roasting your first turkey
can be a terrifying cooking
experience; just pretend it's
a very large chicken. Make
the stuffing and as many
vegetables as possible a day


or two before to make your
life easier.
I know times are extreme-
ly tough, but if you're
reading this column you
have something to be
thankful for.
God's blessings!

ROAST TURKEY

Thaw turkey, remove
giblets from the cavity and
neck, Remove any fat and
soak in cold, salted water
for at least one hour. Doing
this gives the meat a fresher
flavor. Rinse and dry with
paper towels.


So you're interested in Cuban art, but
there's just one problem: Americans are
not allowed to travel to Cuba, and vice
versa.
Don't worry. Marjorie Pravden, owner
of downtown Melbourne-based Cuba!
Gallery of Fine Art brings the artists to
you -or at least one of them.
Cuba! Gallery is hosting Cuban painter a
Juan Carlos Mufioz and his exhibit, titled
"Cabezas Calientas" (or in English, "Hot
Heads"), The Ironic Wit of Juan Carlos
Mufioz. If you missed the Opening
Nights, you can still see the exhibition
until December 6th, and after that, many
of the paintings will still be available in
the gallery.
All of the art in Ms. Pravden's gallery is
from inside Cuba, created by artists who
live and work there. She obtains these
pieces by traveling to Cuba herself with a
so-called "Special License" from the U.S.
Treasury Department in which she is
allowed to travel from Miami to various
Cuban cities with diplomats and their
families. Ms. Pravden is permitted to do Artist Juan Carlos Muhoz painting at Cuba Gallery of Fi,

ROMANCING
THE STOVE
with the
Grammy Guru ..
ARLENE BORG

Follow roasting instruc-
tions on the turkey bag. Be
sure to use a heavy-duty
metal pan. Rub turkey with
canola oil, sprinkle with salt
and pepper. For a small
turkey, place breast side
down on a sprayed v-rack.
Turn right side up the last
half hour of roasting.
Another trick is to season


leArt.
Art


and place in a paper
supermarket bag in the
roasting pan; leave bag
open. No basting is neces-
sary. Tear open bag the last
half hour, baste and roast
'til golden.
For a large turkey, place
on a rack in the pan, season
as directed. Make a tent of
heavy aluminum foil and
place over top of turkey.
This will prevent the
moisture from escaping.
Baste occasionally and
roast until done. Remove
foil 1/2 hour before done
for a crisp, crackly skin.
If you choose to stuff the
turkey, the stuffing must be
cold to prevent the growth
of bacteria. Loosely stuff
both the body and neck
cavity; the stuffing swells as
the bird cooks. Close
openings with turkey
skewers and string. Tie
wings and legs and roast as
directed on the package.
Here's a method that will
free up the oven for the
vegetables, it beats any
cooking method for a
turkey 20 pounds or more.
Put the turkey, tented
with foil, in a 200-degree
oven at 10 p.m. the night
before. At 10 a.m., turn oven
to 325-degrees, roast about
2 hours or until a meat
thermometer inserted in
the thigh registers 170
degrees. Increase time
according to size. Baste


outside Havana.'
Mr. Mufioz, a former physics teacher,
paints in a small 100-square foot room
he built on top of his house. Ms.
Pravden says "he describes his art as
expressionist, realist and sometimes,
surrealist," and, "in many of his
paintings, he tosses a nod to painters
who inspire him ... Velasquez, Goya and
Dali."
After a year of navigating regulations
with the governments of both Cuba and
the U.S., Cuba! Gallery of Fine Art
secured legal permission for Mr. Mufioz
and his wife/agent, Alicia Cabrera to
travel to Melbourne for the exhibition.
Ms. Pravden said,"the U.S. government
hasn't issued a visitor's visa for an artist
in Cuba to come to his own exhibition in
the U.S. between 2002 and 2009.
The exhibit is described as a 28-image
series in oil on canvas depicting
important issues of human existence on
the island of Cuba.
Additionally, while stateside, Mr.
Mufioz has been featured as a Brevard
Museum School Guest Artist at a


often. Results: a tender,
juicy bird.
You can also remove
turkey from oven in the
morning and put it back
into a pre-heated oven two
hours before you plan to
serve. Although the cooking
time should be 180 degrees,
the bird will keep cooking
once it's out.
For an end result that is
easier for serving and lower
in fat, place stuffing in a
large covered casserole
rather than in the bird. Put
in the oven for the last hour
and baste with a squirt of
turkey drippings.

TURKEY GRAVY
Remove turkey to platter.
Pour drippings into a
saucepan. Add 1-2 cups
water to the metal pan,
bring to a boil, scraping up
the browned pieces. Pour
into saucepan. De-fat juices
by adding at least 12 ice
cubes to the saucepan. Let
sit until the fat congeals
and clings to the cubes.
Remove remaining cubes
and fat with a slotted
spoon.
In a large jar, put 2 cups
cold water and several
tablespoons flour. Cover
and shake well. Bring liquid
to a boil, adding more water
for more gravy. Using a
strainer, slowly pour the
flour mixture into pan,
stirring constantly until
boiling each time, until
desired thickness is
achieved. Taste and adjust
seasonings.

TURKEY STUFFING

Enough for a large turkey,
22 pounds or more; left-


overs freeze great.
1 pound pork sausage
(roll)
4 large onions, chopped
6 large stalks celery,
chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
Turkey liver, chopped
(optional)

1 large loaf white bread
2 cups chicken broth,
canned or homemade
Breakup sausage and
brown in skillet. Drain and
set aside. Add canola oil to
skillet. Saute onion, celery
and turkey liver.* Add
seasonings. Return sausage
to pan and cook a few
minutes.
In a large bowl, break bread
into small pieces. Add
sausage mixture and broth.
Mix thoroughly. Taste. Add
more salt if necessary. Cool
and stuff turkey or cook in
casserole as explained above.
*liver can be discarded or
added raw to cooled stuffing.
It will cook in the baking.

"CAR DEALERS*


SMARTEN UP"

YOUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY HAVE. .

EARL STEWART STEWARTTL

( TOYOTA


An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers.

Eliminate the "Dealer Fee".


Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't
know me, I should tell you that I don't profess
to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who
was always perfect for the past 38 years.
When I look at some of my past advertising
and sales tactics, I am not always proud.
But I have evolved as my customers have
evolved. My customers' expectations, level
of education and sophistication are much
higher today. Your customers are no different.
My remarks are made sincerely and with a
positive intent toward you and your custom-
ers. I am not trying to tell you
how to run your business. I "My cu
am suggesting a change that y
will reward both you and your expectati
customers.
Virtually every car dealer ofeduca
in Florida adds a charge to
the price of cars he sells, a Sophistic
"dealer fee/doc fee/dealer
prep" fee ranging from $500 much higi
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
IENT and your profit in such a manner that it is not
noticed by your customers. This is just plain
ure wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495)
one and when I stopped charging it a few years
your ago it was scary. But I did it because I could
way no longer, in good conscience, mislead my
dould customers. Just because everybody else
ted, was doing the same thing, did not make it
us correct.

Now, here is the good news. After eliminat-
ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop
by about the amount of the dealer fee, but
my customers realized I was now giving them
a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the-
door price with no "surprises". And the word
spread. My volume of car sales began to rise
rapidly. Sure, I was making a few hundred
dollars less per car, but I was selling a lot
more cars. I was and am selling cars to many
of your former customers. My bottom line
has improved, not because I eliminated the
dealer fee but because I was


able to earn the trust of more
customers in buying their new
or used car. You can do the
same.


stomers'
ions, level


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

Winter two-day tournaments target golfers 40 and older


ith age, comes
benefits. No, I'm
not talking about
50 cent coffee or discounts
on hotels or airfare. The
end of November marks
the beginning of the
Florida State Golf Associa-
tion winter series. The
events are two-day tourna-
ments for golfers 40 and
older.
The series' first event
takes place right in my
backyard, at the PGA Golf
Club's Dye Course in Port
St. Lucie. The series
features eight events
spread out around the
state over the course of the
next few months.
From Port St. Lucie it's
off to Ormond Beach, then
Venice, Lake Wales,
Orlando, Tampa, back to
Orlando and finally Ocala
for tournaments. Each
event is being held on a
fantastic track, with all the
amenities professional
touring pros enjoy. Well,
you may have to bring


your own screaming fans,
but pretty much every-
thing else is covered.
There are three age
groups, each based on
your age as of March 16.
The first is a mid-senior
division for those 40-54.
Second is the senior for
those 55-64. Golfers 65
and older will compete in
the super senior division.
The FSGA was formed in
1913 to preserve and
protect golf in the state of
Florida. The organization
is volunteer-based and
includes more than 800
member clubs with more
than 180,000 individual
members from across the
state.
The FSGA provides a
variety of services, not
only to its member clubs
and members, but to the
general golfing communi-
ty of Florida. The associa-
tion conducts more than
250 tournament days each
year, including 25 state
championships and
USGA- qualifying events.


If you'd love to help, the
FSGA and the Florida
Junior Tour are looking for
new volunteers to help at
events. They need rules
officials, people to help
with registration and
scoring, and more.
If you'd line to find out
more about the Florida
State Golf Association and
the events they run for
golfers of all ages and well
as the Winter Series, call
(813) 632-3742, or visit the
Web site at www.fsga.org.

Space Coast
teams with U.S.
Marine Corps

In an effort to brighten
the Christmas of an


underprivileged child, the
Florida Space Coast Golf
Association will be part-
nering with United States
Marine Corp in their "Toys
for Tots" campaign this
year, with target dates
from Nov 1 to Dec 15.
Six golf courses (Duran,
Cocoa Beach, Savannahs,
Habitat, Viera East and
Wedgefield), along with
five hotel properties (Holi-
day Inn Viera, Hilton
Cocoa Beach, Crowne
Plaza Melbourne Beach,
Ron Jons Cape Caribe
Resort and Hampton Inn,
Titusville) will be partici-
pating and act as drop off
points for toys.
Participants who
donate toys will fill out a
registration card and be
eligible to win one of a
dozen prizes donated by
these facilities. Prizes
include a round of golf for
four at one of the six spon-
soring Space Coast
golf courses and overnight
stays at one of five Space
Coast hotel properties.


Here is your chance to
help a child enjoy the most
joyous time of the year, all
while you enjoy your
round of golf. For addi-
tional information,
contact any of the spon-
soring courses or hotel
properties.

Just like old times

Panther Woods Country
Club in Fort Pierce is
reverting back to its
former name. The proper-
ty will again be known as
Meadowood Golf and
Tennis Club.
In addition to the name
change, a new logo,
featuring a Sand Hill Crane
taking flight was intro-
duced to members and
friends at a luncheon
earlier this month.
Meadowood Golf and
Tennis Club features an
18-hole, par 72 champi-
onship golf course situat-
ed on 195 acres of rolling
terrain with tees ranging


from 5014 to 6744 yards,
five Har-Tru tennis courts,
a swimming pool and spa,
and restaurant and ban-
quet facilities.
Over the past year, the
club has expanded the
practice tee area to nearly
three times its former size,
added additional concrete
cart paths and enhanced
the landscaping through-
out the property.
"We have also added
many new membership
options that offer both
value and affordability for
our members," says Alf
D'Silva, president of the
club's board of governors.
For information on
membership options, call
(772) 466-4000 or visit
www.meadowoodgol-
fandtennis.com.

James Stammer has been
an avid golfer and golf
enthusiast for 30 years. He

Show on WPSL 1590-AM
