(P HOW WEIRD
S IS THAT?!
SEAN MCCARTHY



Spend any time surfing
theWeb 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 newsherald.com:
Man lies about robbery over
fear of wife
A Panama City Beach man
reportedly admitted to
deputies that he lied about
being robbed so he wouldn't
have to tell his wife he spent
the money.
The Bay County Sheriff's
Office reported a 30-year-old
man was arrested and
charged with making a false
report. According to a report,
the man called 911 from a
Panama City Beach store and
claimed he was getting into
his car when a man dressed
in black hit him and took
$100 in cash.
But the store's surveillance
video showed the man walk
out of the store, sit in his car
for a short time and then go
back inside to use the phone.
After deputies showed the
man the video, he acknowl-
edged he hadn't actually
been robbed. He was
released from jail on $750
bail.
From lancasteronline.com:
Police arrest man in buggy
forDUI
Police in central Pennsylva-
nia arrested an Amish man
on drunk driving charges
after he was found asleep in
his moving buggy.
Police said a 22-year-old
man was slumped over and
asleep in a slow-moving
buggy. An off-duty officer
reported seeing the horse
pulling the buggy at a
walking pace as it straddled
the center line.
Police said a breathalyzer
test showed the man's blood-
alcohol content was 0.18,
more than twice the 0.08

PORT ST. LUCIE -The
final segment of
Crosstown Parkway has
cleared a major hurdle.
Staff officials last week
gave preliminary
approval to Port St. Lucie
to construct a new bridge
across the north fork of
the St. Lucie River, assis-
tant city manager Jerry
Bentrott said.


The state agreed to
lease the ground for the
city to cross the river,
provided Port St. Lucie
does some projects in
return.
Those include upgrad-
ing canoe launches at the
Savannas, Mr. Bentrott
said.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY-
In at least one small way,
Port St. Lucie resident
Christine Giaconne last
Saturday fulfilled the
Christmas wishes of two
young girls in one local
family.
As she wrapped toys
and a book for the chil-

that is pink.
Ms. Giaconne, who


works at the St. Lucie

State


OKs new


hospital


facility in


Tradition
By Jay Meisel
Meisel@hometownnewsol.com
PORT ST. LUCIE -
Although the state granted
final approval last week for
Martin Memorial Health
Systems to build a hospital
in Tradition, its opening
may not occur for another
five years.
That's because Hospital
Corp. of America may con-
test the state's decision in
court and construction
could last for more than two
years, said Scott Samples,
public information coordi-
nator for Martin Memorial.
Regardless, Martin
Memorial officials say the
final approval from the
Florida Agency for Health
Care Administration is an
important step toward the
hospital becoming reality.
"This is one more critical
step toward a much-needed
hospital becoming a reality
for residents of western St.
Lucie County," said Mark E.
Robitaille, president and
CEO of Martin Memorial, in
a press release. "We have
maintained for many years
that there is a critical need
for healthcare services in
this area. More importantly,
the community told us there
was a need and we are work-
ing hard to meet that need."
Martin Memorial has bat-
tled for almost a decade to
build the new hospital.
But Hospital Corp. of
America, which owns Lawn-
wood Regional Medical
Center and Heart Institute
in Fort Pierce and St. Lucie
Medical Center in Port St.
Lucie, has fought it every
step of the way, saying it's
not needed.
Martin Memorial received
preliminary approval in
2007 to build the hospital.
But HCA appealed the deci-
sion and an administrative
hearing was held
Administrative law Judge
J.D. Parrish recommended
the hospital's approval be
upheld on July 31, 2009.
The CEOs of Lawnwood
and St. Lucie Medical said
they disagree with the state's
decision and are deciding
on options available in
responding to it.
"We feel there is no true
need for a new hospital in
Tradition," said Gary
Cantrell, CEO of St. Lucie
Medical Center. "Patients

ST. LUCIE COUNTY -When
Teri Pinney resigned in 2008 as
assistant principal at Fort
Pierce Westwood High School,
she charged that the push for
higher test scores in the district
resulted in disrespect for teach-
ers.
Now, Ms. Pinney has regis-


tered to challenge St. Lucie
County School Board member
John Carvelli in 2010. Mr.
Carvelli hasn't made an
announcement on whether he
will seek re-election.
"I think maybe it's time for
fresh ideas," Ms. Pinney said.
She's worked as a teacher and
an assistant principal. Current-
ly, she's a certified grants writer.
"My perspective will be from


the trenches," she said, adding
that she will advocate what she
believes from her experiences
is best for teachers and stu-
dents.
One priority, she said, will be
to improve the relationship
between the community and
the school district.

A Texas homeowner who
adorned his front lawn with
Michelangelo's "David" as a

than just jolly laughs from his
neighbors.
Barry McBee said he was
aiming to make people
chuckle by adding a Santa hat

tall replica of the Renaissance

image at odds with usual
depictions of a fat, jolly St.

Then parents started calling
Big Spring city officials saying
their children were asking
why Santa was naked. McBee
relented after his friends
teased him as well, putting a
pair of black and white faux-
velvet shorts, with a Christ-
mas bow, on the statue.

Under the direction of Pam Bayliss, Robert Hoffman, St. Lucie Medical Center director

technician.
But, she said, once treat-
ment begins, most are at ease.
"It's not as scary as it looks
like," she said.
Hyperbaric involves using
increased pressure, particu-
larly involving oxygen, to treat
wounds.
St. Lucie Medical Center
prepared for the past six
months for the program, said
Gary Cantrell, chief executive
officer.
The hospital is the only
facility in St. Lucie County
providing the service.
"We've been wanting to
provide it for many years," Mr.
Cantrell said. "We finally had
the opportunity."
The hospital lacked a space,
he said, until a new building
was constructed near the
main campus.
The chambers primarily
will be used for people with
wounds that are healing slow-
ly, although other conditions
are suitable for hyperbaric
treatment, such as brown
recluse spider bites, gas
embolisms and carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Hospital officials said prime
candidates for the treatment
include those with diabetes.
The treatment results in
oxygen molecules getting into


wounds, which promotes bet-
ter healing, Ms. Wykoff said.
A patient gets on a stretcher
and the stretcher is moved
under the glass ceiling.
Once that's completed, the
technician gradually increas-
es pressure to mimic what it
would feel like to be 33 feet
underwater, she said.
It's about the same as if the
patient was scuba diving,
except that "you're just not
adding the water," she said.
A patient inside the cham-
ber can watch a television
screen outside of it, relax or go
to sleep. Through a commu-
nication device, they can talk
with the technician.
If a claustrophobic person
wanted out, Ms. Wykoff said,
"I'd try to talk them out of it."
The center also has a device
that helps predict how much
the therapy will help. The
patient breathes into it and
then puts on an oxygen mask.
If readings on the machine
increase, that's an indication
the patient will receive a lot of
benefit from the hyperbaric
treatment, hospital officials
said.
A frequently asked question
is whether the hyperbaric
chambers will be used to help
divers with the bends, Mr.
Cantrell said.
That's not the purpose of
the program, but in an
absolute emergency, that's a
possibility, he added.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY A
new Lincoln Park Middle
School could be ready to
house students at the begin-
ning of the 2011-12 school
year.
St. Lucie County School
Board members voted last
week to accept a commit-
tee's recommendation to
build the new school.
The board's decision
resolves a contentious issue
over how to deal with the
existing, aging school that
lacked technology and
needed repairs.


School board member
Kathryn Hensley said she
thinks it's wonderful a new
school can be built within
the district's budget.
Originally, the district
contemplated demolishing
the existing structure and
replacing it with hybrid
buildings. The hybrids,
which are suited for modern
technology and are hurri-
cane-resistant, would be
moved from the now
defunct South Bend K-8
School.
That drew protests from
community leaders who
said Lincoln Park Academy
deserves more than what


they called glorified porta-
bles.
For years, Lincoln Park
was the district's school for
black students during the
era of segregation. Commu-
nity members say during
that period, the school
received hand-me-down
supplies from other schools.
Nevertheless, school offi-
cials said only about $12
million was available to deal
with the aging middle
school, while it would cost
$40 million to build a new
one.
But a committee appoint-
ed to study the matter
found a way to reduce the


cost to about $20 million by
reusing architectural plans
for other middle schools.
The committee recom-
mended the district borrow
the remainder of the
money.
While construction of the
school is underway, porta-
bles will be placed on the
campus.
Ms. Hensley said moving
the students elsewhere isn't
feasible, because some Lin-
coln Park Academy High
School teachers also spend
time at the middle school.
The project will also
include improving technol-
ogy at the high school.

It was the largest dona-

gram has ever received.
"That's what makes it

Even with the econom-
ic downturn, the program

Law enforcement


officers seek answers


to unsolved crimes


By Jay Meisel
Meisel@hometownnewsol.com
Editor's note: In this first of
a series, Treasure Coast law
enforcement officials are seek-
ing the public's help in solving
unsolved crimes. This week
features a cold case from the
Vero Beach area. If you have
any information regarding
this case, please contact Crime
Stoppers at (800) 273-8477.

VERO BEACH Sometime
in early July 2006, 86-year-old
Helen Regene McPherson
noticed the screen was off the
window of her Florida room.
She reported to family
members "she had thought
she heard a noise one night,"
recalled Wanda McPherson,
her daughter-in-law.
But no one found anything
else ajar at the time, Wanda
McPherson said in a recent
interview.
"We really didn't think any-
thing more about it," she said.
It was only after someone
brutally murdered Helen
McPherson about 10 days
later that the incident regard-
ing the screen was men-
tioned to detectives at the
Indian River County Sheriff's
Office.
Detectives, who have yet to
make an arrest in connection
with the murder of Helen
McPherson, say they don't
know whether the prior inci-
dent was connected.
Mrs. McPherson's murder
is one of dozens of unsolved
homicide cases on the Web
site of Treasure Coast Crime
Stoppers.
Ken Wilson, executive
director of Treasure Coast
Crime Stoppers, hopes that


renewed publicity regarding
these cases may lead to
arrests.
It also shows law enforce-
ment hasn't forgotten those
cases, he said.
In the case of Helen
McPherson, family members
found her body on July 15,
2006. Authorities believe she
was murdered either July 14
or July 15.
Lt. Daren Jones, head of
major crimes for the criminal
investigation division of the
Indian River County Sheriff's
Office, said someone had
beaten Mrs. McPherson to
death.
The case has been exam-
ined by Eddie Swan, a mem-
ber of the Treasure Coast
Crime Stoppers' board of
directors. He also was an
assistant U.S. attorney and
held what is now the position
of a U.S. magistrate.
He said that "the crime
scene photos of the murder
scene of Helen McPherson
were the worst," in terms of
violence and brutality, of
hundreds of such photos he's
seen.
A puzzling aspect of the
investigation is that no clear
motive has arisen, Lt. Jones
said.
Although he wouldn't say
whether something was
taken from the house, he
indicated authorities do not
believe theft was the motive
behind the crime. Nor was
there any evidence to suggest
that anyone sexually assault-
ed Mrs. McPherson, he said.
During the years following
the murder, detectives have
searched for similar crimes in
other jurisdictions that may

Give the gift of sight

To the editor:

As you are well-aware, the U.S. economy is experiencing a
major downturn.
Often, when faced with tough economic times, our senior
communities on fixed incomes are hurt the most when their
healthcare falls by the wayside. During our current financial
crisis, I want to make sure that their eye health is not
neglected.
This holiday season, I urge readers to call EyeCare Ameri-
ca's Seniors EyeCare Program at (800) 222-3937 to see if
someone they love may qualify for medical eye care at no
out-of-pocket cost. By calling EyeCare America's help line for
an eye exam, you maybe giving friends and family members
the best gift of all, the gift of sight.
The program is designed for seniors, age 65 and older, who
have not seen an ophthalmologist in more than three years.
Eligible patients will be matched with a nearby volunteer
ophthalmologist. Seniors receive a comprehensive medical
eye examination and up to one year of care for any disease
diagnosed during the initial visit at no out-of-pocket cost.
As one of 409 Eye America volunteer ophthalmologists
here in Florida, I experience first hand how providing a
simple, medical eye exam can preserve sight.
As program volunteers, we have agreed to waive Medicare
or other insurance co-payments and unmet deductibles,
resulting in no out-of-pocket cost to the patient.
Seniors without insurance receive care at no charge.
Here in Florida, 33,234 have been helped through EyeCare
America.
I urge all readers to take advantage of this valuable
program and give the gift of sight to a special senior in their
life this holiday season.

Turn off the lights

This is about the civic center that was supposed to be
built for the people of Port St. Lucie. It was the worst thing
that ever happened to the city. We light that thing up from
one end to the other.
In my neighborhood, we have a lot of break-ins. The
police tell us to leave us our lights on all night. I can't afford
to leave my lights on. Why don't they turn the lights off in
the building that nobody goes to? The green market is back
on the street instead of the grassy area where it was sup-
posed to be. We, the people, would like more money in our
pocket rather than that monstrosity.

Squatter situation

The current foreclosure crisis has hit home with me in a
couple ways. But especially last weekend when I realized
that the foreclosed home behind me had a squatter. He was
taking his bike in and out of the screen porch. I called the
police department, and they came on a Sunday morning
and apprehended the suspect. They acted in a very respon-
sible manner. They didn't' arrest him, but gave him a tres-
passing notice.
Good job to the police department. He was there without
permission of the homeowners. It could have been a dan-
gerous situation.

What happened to the energy promises?

After a national election last year, in which candidate
Obama put forth elaborate schemes for energy independ-
ence, his administration has failed totally to do anything to
increase domestic energy production.

How much RAM is enough?


One of the questions I
am asked frequently
by those looking to
buy a new computer is
whether the machine they
are looking at has enough
RAM.
Usually, I ask them what
they are planning on using
the machine for and how
much memory the
machine has. Then I
usually can't help but to
laugh inside when I hear
the answer.
It's very common today
to hear things such as,
"well it only has 2 giga-
bytes of memory and all
I'm planning on doing with
it is e-mail and surfing the
Web. Will 2 gigs be
enough?"
Or, "I don't use the
machine for much, I just
mainly use it for e-mail
and Quicken. Quicken is
very important to me and I
want to make sure my new
machine is going to be
able to run it OK. Are you
sure that just 2 gigabytes is
going to be able to do the
job?"
And, "the ad says this
machine can take up to 4
gigabytes. Maybe I should
get four just to be safe.
What do you think?"
It's at that point I usually
have to stifle a chuckle


COMPUTE
THIS
SEAN MCCARTHY


because to me, that's
funny.
Now, don't get me
wrong, I'm not trying to be
rude, cocky or arrogant, it's
just that I've been doing
this for a while and I can
remember, not too long
ago, when just the idea of
having a gigabyte of
memory in your home
computer was the stuff of
science fiction.
I can even remember
writing a column in 1996
explaining to readers how
they should be able to run
their machines with just 16
megabytes of memory.
(Just to put that in per-
spective, 1,000 megabytes
equals 1 gigabyte).
Now, don't get me
wrong, I'm not saying you
can run one of today's
machines with only 16 mb;
you certainly do need
considerably more than
that to run 7, Vista (or even
XP), but even with a fancy
operating system such as
Windows 7, the basic tasks
haven't changed much and


2 gigs of memory should
be just fine to check e-
mail, surf the Web and run
Quicken.
Another way to put the
whole memory question
into perspective is to think
of it in terms of money.
Back around 1996, when
Windows still in its infan-
cy, RAM was very expen-
sive. At the time I wrote
that previous column,
saying 16 mb was enough,
RAM was going for about
$50 per megabyte, mean-
ing the 16 mb I was
advocating cost about
$800. So, that means a
gigabyte (1,000 megabytes)
back then would have cost
about $50,000!
Another factor that I
consider is the level of
machine they are replac-
ing. Very often, I will speak
to someone who is replac-
ing an old system (maybe
an old Pentium with 128
mb of ram or something)
and they wonder if 2
gigabytes will work for
them on the new machine.
Doesn't it stand to reason
that if you were able to surf
the Web, check your e-mail
and run Quicken on the
machine you are replacing,
then a new machine, with
more than 10 times the
memory, shouldn't have a


problem handling those
same tasks?
Today, the tasks haven't
changed. It's still e-mail,
the Web and yeah, maybe
some critical program
such as Quicken or some-
thing, but whenever I hear
people pondering whether
2 gigabytes will do it for
them, I can't help but hear
that little "grampa voice"
in the back of my head
saying, "back in my day we
couldn't afford a gigabyte.
We got by with 16 megs
and we liked it!"
Back in 1996,1 I don't
think I could have ever
imagined being able to get
a gigabyte of RAM, let
alone pay less than $100
for it. The whole thing
makes me wonder what
things will be like a decade
or so in the future.
In 10 years will we have
people wondering if 1
terabyte (1,000 gigabytes)
will be enough or if maybe
they should spring for two?
Regardless, I'm sure they
will probably still only use
their machine for checking
e-mail, surfing the Web
and running Quicken.

Health news you might have missed


Those newsletters

again. I am busy

share most interesting
news from them before
they go to the recycling
pile.

Foods may lower
risk of eye disease

From the Duke Universi-
ty Health Newsletter,
October 2009:
A recent study, pub-
lished in the May 2009
issue of "Ophthalmology"
suggests older folks who
eat citrus fruits, leafy
vegetables and fish oil may
lower the risk of develop-
ing age-related macular
degeneration. The nutri-
ents that are believed to
affect AMD are omega-3
fatty acids, vitamins C and
E, lutein and zeaxathin, an
antioxidant.
The nutrients are found
in fish, citrus, green

Flu does like the cold

From the Harvard Health
Letter, October 2009:
It is not your imagina-
tion that there is more flu
in the winter. It may be
that people are in closer
contact indoors in the
winter, but the flu likes the
cold weather. Flu viruses
are more contagious and
more capable of causing
severe illness when the air
is cool and dry.
That's the reason why
the flu season starts in the
Northern Hemisphere in
October or November, and
ends in the spring. In
Florida, it tends to start
later because the weather
is warmer.
The reason the H1N1 flu
was relatively mild last
spring was because it came
as the weather was getting
warm. It remains to be


seen what this winter will
bring. Some experts think
it has peaked, but others
are not certain that the
worst is over. Remember,
too, that half of the cases
occur after the peak.
Remain vigilant.

Washing hands is key
to disease prevention

From the Mayo Clinic
HealthLetter, December
2009:
Following on the heels
of the previous item about
the flu, the Mayo Clinic
reminds readers there is a
right way to wash hands
for good hygiene and
disease prevention.
Hand sanitizers can be
used throughout the day
in places where water and
soap are not available.
Surprisingly, they are more
effective than washing for
killing germs on unsoiled
hands. Use enough of an
alcohol-based sanitizer to
cover the hands, wrists,
cuticles and between the
finger and nails.
It is still important to
wash hands with soap and
water when they are
soiled, before eating and
after using the bathroom.
You may think you know
how, but here's a refresher:
Work up a lather using


warm water and soap.
Continue to lather for at
least 15 seconds.
Focus on fingertips and
around fingernails. It
helps to press the finger-
tips of one hand into the
cupped palm of the other
and rotate the fingertip.
Try not to touch the
faucet with clean hands.
Use paper or hand towels
and use the towel to turn
off the water. They also
suggest turning off the
water with your elbow or
top of your wrist, but I
tried it and you'd have to
be a contortionist.

Shelley Koppel is unable
to endorse specific treat-
ments for disease. Any
protocols for treatment or
testing she discusses are
accepted standards of
medical practice as
recommended by agencies
such as the American
Academy of Pediatrics or
the American Cancer
Society. When she draws
from personal experience,
those are her experiences
and are not medical
recommendations.

"CAR DEALERS *



SMARTEN UP"

YOUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY HAVE. V k


EARL STEWART

( TOYOTA


ACREEETENIF


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 "MyV cU
am suggesting a change that
will reward both you and your expectat
customers.
I. 1


Virtually every car dealer of eauca
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 high
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 fee ($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.


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


customers'
tions, level


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.


tion and Why am I writing this letter?
I'm not going to tell you that
ition 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.
Sincerely,
Earl Stewart Earl Stewart Toyota

She favors more collabo-
ration between the school

Ms. Pinney said she
believes the measure of
school and student achieve-
ment is based too much on
test results "at the expense
of teachers and students."
Although one school
board member could not
change the emphasis on

Ms. Pinney said as a school

Ms. Pinney's concerns
about the emphasis on test-
ing came through in her
book, "The Missing Heart:
Chronicles of an Educa-
tion."
A description of the book
on its back cover states that
the story is about a former
teacher after being promot-
ed to assistant principal
"discovers a ruthless system
bent on pushing teachers
and students toward higher
performance test scores at
the expense of compassion
and integrity."
The book is fiction, but
most of the events in it are
based on the reality of her
combined experiences in St.
Lucie and Broward counties,
she said.
Keith Brown, principal of
Fort Pierce Westwood High
School at the time Ms. Pin-
ney resigned, could not be
reached for comment.
Proceeds from the sale of
the book, Ms. Pinney said,

Although the state's pre-
liminary decision doesn't
resolve all the questions, Mr.
Bentrott said, it's a good step
forward.
If the state officials had
not recommended the

had some more work to do,"
he said.
The idea of a third cross-
ing over the north fork has
been included in the city's
comprehensive plan since
1980. The other two cross-
ings are at Port St. Lucie and
Prima Vista boulevards.
Earlier this year, the city

alumni associations.

Ms. Pinney said.
As for the budget situa-

believes the district should

have been committed by the
same perpetrator.
They've also thoroughly
canvassed the neighbor-
hood in which Mrs. McPher-
son lived, one that they say
doesn't have a significant
crime problem.
"We've talked to everyone
on that street numerous
times," said Anthony Sevito,
an Indian River County
detective assigned to cold
cases.
Wanda McPherson said
her mother-in-law never
had any problems in the
neighborhood and knew all
her neighbors.
Helen McPherson had
lived in the neighborhood
on 49th Avenue since 1962.
She was born in Rector,
Ark., and her family moved
to Melbourne. After high
school, she worked in the
Brevard County Courthouse
in Titusville. She married
Thomas McPherson Jr. on


Oct. 1, 1939.
Not long after that, they
moved to Michigan where
they worked at an airplane
assembly plant. Mr. McPher-
son then served in the mili-
tary during World War II
They had three sons and
for most of her adult life, she
was a homemaker, Wanda
McPherson said.
Her husband died in 2001.
Helen McPherson was a
member of First Baptist
Church and was involved in
activities there, her daugh-
ter-in-law said.
She collected Depression-
era glassware and was inter-
ested in current events.
"She loved to talk to peo-
ple," Wanda McPherson
said.
Family members say they
have no idea why someone
would have wanted to mur-


der Mrs. McPherson.
Detectives are continuing
to try to find out.
As part of that effort they
are "doing everything we can
to have evidence analyzed in
every way," Lt. Jones said.
At the time of the crime,
he said, the most obvious
evidence was analyzed.
Now that analysis is being
taken to the next level, with
more minute analysis being
conducted.
Anyone with information
about the crime can call
Crime Stoppers at (800) 273-
8477). Callers can be eligible
for a reward of $1,000 if their
information leads to an
arrest.

title to the property, cur-
rently owned by Tradition
Outlet. That is not expected
to occur until March.
Additionally, the lease will
not take effect until all the
bond financing is available.
After the lease is in effect,
Wyndcrest will take owner-
ship of the building once
payments are completed.
City officials said that
through the lease, Wynd-
crest will pay back all
expenses incurred by the
city, except for a $10 million
incentive from developer
impact fees.
Until the building on the
15 acres is constructed,
Wyndcrest will use a tempo-
rary location in Tradition.
Steve Carroll, a Port St.
Lucie resident, voiced the


only objections to the deal
at the City Council meeting,
as he did at a previous meet-
ing.
He questioned how many
local employees will be
hired, as opposed to people
being brought in from out of
state.
Mr. Carroll also ques-
tioned whether the contract
could allow for Wyndcrest to
hire people in other states
who would work from those
locations.
There's "no way on God's
green earth" that will hap-
pen, said John Textor of
Hobe Sound, chairman of
Wyndcrest.
Work at the Port St Lucie
location is expected to
include special effects for
video games and films, as
well as possibly military
simulations for the Penta-
gon.

"The choice has to be
made whether limited

improve the quality and
sophistication of services or
building more building more

"We believe, as evidenced
by our investment in the

"Obviously we would dis-
agree," Mr. Samples said.
He said the hospital
believes there's a need for a

10,000 people have sent e-
mails supporting it.
Now, he said, the state also
disagrees with HCA.
"We feel this is the right
thing to do and the right
time to do it," he added.
"We're hopeful and confi-
dent we'll have a hospital out
there sooner, rather than
later."

Hearing loss:

Who's at risk and why?
More than 28 million Americans approximately one out of 10 people -
have a hearing loss, according to the Web site HearingLoss.org. But this doesn't
mean everybody has the same type of hearing loss, nor is there a single one-size-
fits-all solution.
Hearing loss can be divided into two main categories: sensorineural
and conductive.
Sensorineural hearing loss, often called"nerve deafness,"results from
damage to nerve endings in the inner ear. Common causes include pro-
longed exposure to excessive noise, the aging process, viral or bacterial
infections, the use of certain medications, genetic syndromes and trau-
ma to the head. Sensorineural loss is most commonly treated with hear-
ing aids.
Conductive hearing loss occurs in the outer and/or middle ear.
Obstructions, such as earwax, or physical abnormalities impede the
ability of sound waves to move through the ear canal. Most cases of
conductive hearing loss can be corrected with surgery or medicine.
Some people experience "mixed"hearing loss, which is a combination
of sensorineural and conductive loss.
By far, the most prevalent type of hearing loss, representing about
95% of all cases, is sensorineural. Contrary to what many people think, "-
old age is not the number-one risk factor for sensorineural loss. In fact,
extended exposure to noise causes about 34% of all hearing loss in the
U.S., followed by the aging process at 28%.
In today's increasingly noisy society, consumers can protect their
hearing simply by wearing an inexpensive set of ear plugs. While
extremely loud noises, including those generated by rock concerts and
firearms, are typically associated with hearing loss, even comparatively
low-level noises coming from lawnmowers, busy freeways and other -
everyday sources can take their toll over time.
Despite preventive action, hearing loss may not be entirely avoidable,
due to genetics or other factors. Consumers who suspect a hearing loss
should seek care from a qualified professional: an otolaryngologist,
audiologist or hearing aid dispenser.


Recognizing hearing loss -

and getting help
A person's hearing ability usually deteriorates over long periods of time, fre-
quently during a 25- to 30-year span. Because of its gradual onset, hearing loss
is difficult to detect. Often the person with the hearing loss fails to recognize the
problem; rather, it's family members or friend especially someone who hasn't
been with the person for a while.
Following are some of the most common signs of a hearing loss:
Asking people to speak more loudly or slowly
Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
Hearing people talk, but not understanding what they're saying
Particular trouble understanding children's or other high-pitched voices
Difficulty hearing on the telephone
Unable to hear the telephone or doorbell ringing
Family members complaining about the TV or radio being turned
up too loud
Difficulty hearing conversation while riding in the car
Avoiding social situations because of background noise and difficulty
hearing conversation
Lack of participation in meetings and other gatherings
Feelings of being left out of discussions or"people are talking about
me behind my back"
Feelings that loved ones are "treating me differently"or "making
decisions without my participation"
Spending increasing amounts of time alone
Although the symptoms of a hearing loss may be obvious to others,
hearing-impaired individuals frequently do not admit that they have a
problem. Consequently, they often don't get help until their quality of
life has declined significantly or until a spouse or other family member
pushes them into action.
S".. ". Getting help, most often in the form of hearing aids, can have positive
and measurable implications. This is substantiated by a study entitled
"The Consequences of Untreated Hearing Loss in Older Persons."
Hearing aid wearers in the study reported improvements in several areas
.' of their lives, including relationships at home (66%), feelings about
themselves (60%) and feelings about life overall (62%).

Christmas jamboree
this weekend

There will be a Christmas
jamboree on Dec. 19, spon-
sored by Port Salerno Com-
munity Productions. The
fun runs from noon-8 p.m.
on Dixie Highway between
Salerno Road and Seaward.
Free events include a
children's area with inflata-
bles and face painting, a 60-
foot Christmas tree, a snow
mountain and a visit by
Santa and Mrs. Claus, arriv-
ing via fire engine.

Entertaining
gifts abound

If you still haven't found
the perfect gift for someone
special, consider the gift of
entertainment. Tickets to a
show or membership in one
of the local theaters or com-
panies is such a thoughtful
way to show someone you
care and to support the arts
in our area, as well.
The Sunrise and Lyric
theatres have many shows
in upcoming months.
The Lyric begins the New
Year with chanteuse Ann
Hampton Callaway, as part
of the Ovation Concert
series.
That Jan. 2 concert is fol-
lowed by the Bronx Wan-
derers on Jan. 7 and
"Aspects of Webber" on Jan.
10. The latter, a salute to
the music of Andrew Lloyd
Webber, is ideal for "Phan-
tom" lovers.
The Sunrise New Year
begins with a rock 'n roll
show featuring Booby Vee,
Brian Hyland and Shirley
Alston Reeves of the
Shirelles.
Jan. 10 brings the Village
People. You know if you
have a disco fan in the
house!
Jan. 15 brings the Out-
laws, with Blackberry
Smoke.
Community theater tick-
ets also make great gifts.
From Jan. 27-31, Shiloh
Theatrical Productions
presents "Red, Hot and
Cole," a salute to Cole
Porter.
The Pineapple Playhouse
presents "Why Do Fools Fall
in Love," a musical about
friendship featuring songs
from the 1960s.
The Barn Theatre pres-
ents the Neil Simon farce,
"Rumors," from Jan. 22-Feb.
7.

Week of 12-18-2009
Aries-March 21-April 19
You are like a race car,
rewing up and wanting to
run. As the year winds
down, try to relax a little.
Enjoy your other victories
this year. Your greatest
virtue is that you never
quit until the race is run.
You are a proven champi-
on. Just be sure to keep
life in balance so you don't
burn out. Many more victo-
ries are on the way.

Taurus-April 20-May 20
Slow down a little, take a
step back, get a second
wind and then move for-
ward again. Pacing your-
self to prevent burnout is
so important. No one
expects you to go all out
all the time. If they do, you
are being used. Take the
lighter touch in 2010.
Sometimes less is more.
Be good to yourself. If you
don't, no one else can.

Gemini-May 21-June 21
Focus on what makes you
happy. If your heart isn't in
it don't do it. If you have to
do distasteful things, learn
to love them or don't do
them. Like attracts like in
the universe. What we sow
we reap back multiplied.
Don't forget this. For this to
work you must be follow-
ing your heart, not your
head. Do this and be
happy.

Cancer-June 22-July 22
You are so inspiring. It is
your large heart. The uni-
versal presence within you
constantly inspires you to
do your best. You wake up
each morning with so
much love and joy in your
soul. You wonder "How
can I give it to those I
love?" It's simple really.
Focus on the greatest
need, fill it and then move
on to the next.

Leo-July 23-Aug. 22
One of the main keys to
your success is that you
know how to bring your
inner fire, light and vision
to the surface. This is
because your heart is open
and you are in touch with
your spirit. You are a fire
sign, you know. Be patient
with others less intuitive as
you. One of your missions
in life is to inspire others to
do well.

Sunrise welcomes


Grammy winner


For Hometown News
News@hometownnewsol.com
ST. LUCIE COUNTY-
The Robert Cray Band,
with special guest Ana
Popovic, will perform at the
Sunrise Theatre on Feb. 18 at
7p.m.
Mr. Cray, a five-time Gram-
my award winner, summa-
rized 35 years of music on
"Live From Across the Pond"
a two-CD concert set drawn
from a series of shows (open-
ing for Eric Clapton) at Lon-
don's Royal Albert Hall.
When the time came to fol-
low up that widely praised
collection with a studio
recording, he viewed it as an
opportunity to move his
sound in other directions.
He found exactly what he
was looking for by turning to
one of his oldest friends and
colleagues: bassist Richard


Cousins, whose tenure with
the Robert Cray Band began
with its barnstorming region-
al origins in Eugene, Ore., in
1974 and extended through
1991, encompassing such
early high-water marks as
"Strong Persuader" and
"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark",
both winners of the best con-
temporary blues perform-
ance Grammy.
The sounds of Ms. Popovic
will accompany Mr. Cray dur-
ing his performance at the
Sunrise.
Her blend of smoking elec-
tric funk slide guitar, jazzy
instrumentals, tight blues
groove, soulful vocals and
stage presence makes her a
force in the music world.
Tickets are on sale now for
$45 and $39. The Sunrise The-
atre is located at 117 South
2nd St. in Fort Pierce. Call

Why? Because you look at
three possible solutions. Do
I take the safe route? Do I
go down the middle of the
road? Do I take the risky
route? The safe route says,
"wait." The middle says,
"please everybody." The
risky brings the highest

a higher level. Go inside
and listen to and trust your
gut instincts. They speak the
truth first. Get out of your
own way, relax and prosper.

Sagittarius-Nov. 22-Dec. 21
This has been a year of
remarkable change and
growth. Just wait and see
what the New Year will
bring. You have renewed
strength in your thoughts,
feelings, spirit and body. No
one can keep up with you
when you are at your best.
It's your fiery nature.
Achievement is fuel to your
soul. Get ready. More is on
the way.

Capricorn-Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Love is the greatest spiritual
gift. You were born with
tons of it. Your life is about
service to others. You don't
need many material things.
When you are loved and
appreciated, you are at your
best. No one has the ability
to nurture and give love
from the heart more than
you. The New Year will
bring it back to you multi-
plied.

Aquarius-Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Inner wisdom comes easier
when you are centered. Live
life one day at a time. Wake


up each day knowing that
today is the best day of your
life and tomorrow is the
next one. Live in positive
expectancy. This opens the
instincts and heart and
allows positive ideas to pop
into the mind. Yours is a
great mind.

Pisces-Feb. 19-March 20
Continue to trust the uni-
versal power and all you
need to move forward to
your highest good and truth
will always be there. Put
spirit first. If you aren't sure,
wait. Your heart will tell
you. Stay strong in your
spiritual beliefs about life.
You have come a long way.
There is still a ways to go.
Continue to swim. Never
give up.

The Village People
Producer/Composer Jacques Morali found Felipe dancing in
his Indian costume in a crowd in NY's Greenwich Village, and
seeing him, gave him the idea to put together a group of
Village icons from a variety of American social groups. Soon
after, Morali saw Victor Willis in Broadway's The Wiz and
Victor brought along Alex Briley to play a G.I.With partner
Henri Belolo, Morali held auditions for 3 more performers
and Village People was formed! These six talented men
combine energetic choreography with outrageous fun and
lots of bumping and grinding, singing and dancing, provide
great entertainment for all!

- Cornish hens, bruschetta,


for Christmas dinner


I Call & Ask Asbout The Hometown News Discount Special Offers




www.Daytna eachResotHc


Hello smart shoppers.
This is it, the last
column before
Christmas.
To all my readers who just
celebrated Hanukkah and
to those who will celebrate
Kwanzaa, I wish you many
blessings.
This week, another menu
choice: bruschetto followed
by stuffed rock Cornish
hens make a beautiful
presentation.
A whole hen is quite a lot
of food. Thaw hens and cut
them in half, always
allowing a few extra halves
for the big appetite.
Patti, the owner of
Chantel's restaurant in
Stuart, gave me the recipe
for her special sauce for
duckling, which I will share
with you.
I remember a Christmas
we celebrated in Somers,
Conn., with lots of family


ROMANCING
THE STOVE
with the
Grammy Guru-
ARLENE BORG

enjoying the Christmas Eve
gift giving. We had a beauti-
ful big fireplace; the flames
were roaring as the snow
was falling. When my
husband said, "Instead of
bagging the wrapping
paper, let's burn it!" Unbe-
lievably, we all agreed.
Since we never thought,
"clean the chimney," the
papers caught fire in the
chimney. The roar was
intense as we rushed
outside to see flames
shooting so high they must
have hit Santa's sleigh. Bill
grabbed the hose but the
good Lord knew it wouldn't
do any good. We watched,
holding our breath, as
slowly the flames subsided.
Have a blessed Christmas
and remember what you are
celebrating.

ROCK CORNISH
HENS WITH
ORANGE-WALNUT

5 Cornish hens, halved
or whole
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion,

1 orange, peeled, seeded

Livers from hens,

1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2-teaspoon ground
black pepper
Several sprigs fresh
parsley, chopped, or 1
tablespoon dried parsley
Orange juice
10 slices white bread
1/2-cup chopped walnuts

Remove giblets, if any,
from hens and soak hens in
cold salted water. Remove
skin from necks and place
them in pot with gizzards

hens do not have giblets use
chicken broth to add to
your gravy.
Saute celery, onions and
livers in a little canola oil

orange juice, squeeze dry
and mix with all remaining
ingredients. Add sauteed

Blood drive to be held

at Hometown News


For Hometown News
News@hometownnewsol.com
TREASURE COAST -
Hometown News will hold a
blood drive for Rachael
Uber and the Florida Blood
Center at the home office,
1102 South U.S. 1, in Fort
Pierce on Dec. 23 at 2 pm.
Rachael, 13, is the daugh-
ter of Lora Uber, an
employee of Hometown
News. She is facing surgery
in January and requires a
rare blood type: AB nega-
tive.
Rachael has Vater's Syn-
drome and has faced more
than 18 major surgeries in
her short lifetime.
She is in the seventh


grade at Samuel Gaines
Academy in Fort Pierce,
and has maintained an A
average. In her spare time,
she draws and does com-
puter graphics. Her artwork
is sold online through the
children's Web site, Furry
Paws.
The blood drive will not
only help replenish a low
blood supply at the Florida
Blood Center, it will directly
help Rachael with her need
for 10 units of blood during
upcoming surgery.
Members of the commu-
nity are invited to partici-
pate and their donation
will be greatly appreciated.
For more information,
call (772) 465-5656.

For Hometown News
News@hometownnewsol.com
PORT ST. LUCIE The
success of the September
tree giveaway to Port St.
Lucie residents has prompt-
ed the Keep Port St. Lucie
Beautiful committee to
offer additional free trees to
residents on Jan. 23, from 6
a.m.-noon at the city's pub-
lic works department.
More than 1,000 trees will
be available on a first-come,
first-served basis. Two
species will be available, live
oaks and red maples.

booths, but rather, will be
provided a tree-care
brochure to take with them.
As a result, residents do not
have to leave their vehicle to
get a tree.
The trees were donated by
St. Lucie County to assist
Port St. Lucie in its efforts to
increase tree canopy, shade
and mitigate the effect of
greenhouse gases.
One tree per household
will be allowed, and proof of
city residency is required.
The Port St. Lucie public
works department is locat-
ed at 450 S.W. Thornhill
Drive, Port St. Lucie. For
more information, call (772)

Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer
Justin Larralde (No. 13) of the Port St. Lucie Pirates in the Pop Warner league finds a hole
in the Detroit Dolphins defense to help his team advance to the Super Bowl finale with a
28-6 victory Tuesday, Dec. 8 at Disney's Wide World of Sports in Orlando. The Pirates
went onto a Super Bowl victory the following Friday, with a 30-0 victory over the North
Long Beach Panthers from California.




A few words regarding Tiger


W we've all made our
share of bogeys,
not just on the
golf course, but in life, as
well.
Over the past few weeks,
we've witnessed the
biggest off-course bogey in
the history of our sport.
Yes, I'm talking about
Tiger Woods. I had planned
to avoid this subject, as it's
been beaten to death by
every news agency from
Beijing to Boston. Howev-
er, after being asked by my
fellow golfers and friends
what I think, I felt it best to
say a few words.
Without a doubt, our
sport has benefited from
the world-wide popularity
of our now-tainted super-
star. The professionals on
the PGA Tour and around
the world play for and earn
more money than at any
other time in history. They
owe all of that to Tiger and
the ratings he brings.
Therein lies the problem
golf's governing bodies
now face. How do you
punish your golden goose?
Do you punish him at all?
Is the current public
flogging enough penance?
I don't have the answer,
but we will now see just
how dangerous it is to put
all your eggs in one basket.
Tiger Woods has been
built up to be bigger than
the game. Those in charge
have stuck him down every
throat at every possible
moment. The casual fan
has been lead to believe
that he's actually the only
guy playing the game. Now
those same suits will have
to find a way to distance
the sport from him and
find a new flag-bearer.


GOLF
JAMES
STAMMER


Will Tiger fall off the
planet and disappear from
the game? Perhaps he will
for a short time. I think a
lot depends on just how
forgiving his wife, Elin, is.
While his discussions
with his family and how
they tend to this matter are
private, he does owe the
public something. When
you make your money off
the public and in the
public eye, invading our
privacy with commercials
and other ads, then you
owe us something when
you betray us.
The apology or explana-
tion doesn't have to come
today or tomorrow. He
needs to straighten out his
own house first. But I hope
he doesn't expect to show
up for his first post-
infidelity event and expect
everyone to fawn all over
him once again.
He had his haters before
and I'm willing to bet they
now out-number the
worshipers. There will be
T-shirts and hecklers and
so much more at any event
he plays in. If you think the
media circus before was
insane, now fans, his
fellow competitors and he,
will have to deal with not
just the golf media, but all
the tabloids and muck
searchers.
Tiger will play golf again,
and if I were a betting
man, I'd put my money on
The Masters for his return.

The media with access to
the site is small and quite
controlled already, and
none of them wish to risk
losing the privilege of
covering the event in the
future. The patrons are
usually very well behaved.
Tickets to The Masters are
passed down from one
family generation to the
next. The last thing you
wish to do is risk losing
your Masters' ticket for the
rest of time.
Between now and then, I
hope he gets some help.
He definitely has a prob-
lem of some sort. Even
more, I hope that Elin
looks very closely into her
life and what she wants
and expects for herself and
her two young children.
She, and they, deserve so
much better from her
husband. Every wife and
mother does.
If Tiger truly loves her
and she him, then they
should try to find a solu-
tion. They should be given
their time, privacy and
space to work this out.
Regardless of the out-
come, when he returns,
then he should at the least
apologize to us. We don't
need the sordid details.
Tiger played the part of the
fan-loving athlete when we
were padding his bank
account on a daily basis.
Because of that, he owes us
as well.

Cool temperatures, some
wind, overcast and sun-
shine. It must be winter.
Offshore, the wind has
kept the seas at 3 to 4 feet.
That's great for sailfish. Be at
the bridge when the lights
come on. There's lots of
snook or look to the flat
water for the reds and trout.
The surf is cooling, so
more blues and mackerels
and don't forget, it is time
for the pompano.
Surf anglers, before you
unload all your gear take a
look at the edge. Do you see
any activity? If not, move to
the next access.
I've had anglers talking
about the big croakers at
Bob Graham Beach and
anglers telling me there was
nothing at the Holiday Inn
location.
Don't worry, it'll change
by tomorrow. Blue fish have

made a strong appearance
on spoons and cut baits.
Mix in the mackerels and
jacks for an excellent morn-
ing.
Late morning is when the
whiting, croaker and snook
come to the edge. They will
stay out until the sun warms
the water. Who would want
to hang around with a
school of blues?
Snook season closed Dec.
15 and will reopen Feb. 1, so
take the barbs off the hooks
for a quick release.
Wind has the water
churning at the bridges.
Cast up into the current and

let the current present your
bait. All you have to do is
keep the slack out of the
line. Use Flair Hawks, you
pick the color.
Trout and reds like the flat
water, it's less turbid. But
remember, trout season
reopens Jan. 1. From inlet to
inlet we have had good
reports well into late morn-
ing. Sheltered flat water
using shrimp or DOA baits
will find both of them.
Yes, there are plenty of
blues, mackerels, sacks and
ladyfish to make you crazy.
Black drum are at the Roo-
sevelt Bridge, just south of
the draw span.
Offshore, there are sails
and more sails. There are
also dolphin to 20 pounds,
kings to 30 pounds and
black fins, bonita and
wahoo. All of them can be
found in 3 to 5 feet of seas. It


just depends on the size of
the boat and your comfort
zone. Me, I am a wimp. I can
wait for the flat water. But
then who catches the fish?
Trolling bally hoo has
been the best bait and
method. It's like taking din-
ner to the fish. There have
been good reports both
north and south of the inlet,
so start north and troll
south. Either way there are
fish.
Run at least one deep in
your spread and just maybe
you will find that wahoo. I'll
bet you'll find a king of
mackerel waiting, too.
Remember, snook and
trout is closed, so take off
the barbs for easy release.

owner of the Snook Nook
Bait and Tackle shop in
Jensen Beach.

TRAVEL



'Oasis of Seas' lives up to its 'wow' factor


This is the first of a three-
part series on the Oasis of
the Seas cruise ship.

W th so much to say
in so little space,
this article will
have to be in three parts.
When it was first
announced that Royal
Caribbean would be
delivering the biggest ship
ever, there was much
speculation about the size
and the amount of passen-
gers it would hold.
Although many of the
comments were negative,
more were positive as to the
architectural wonder that
such a ship would be.
Royal Caribbean started
its campaign with 'Deliver-
ing theWOW!' and I am
here to say they certainly
did. I have never been
disappointed in a new class
of ship, but in this case, it is
so much more than just
admiring the ship. I was
absolutely in awe of what
has been accomplished
here.
I had the pleasure, along
with about 2,800 other
folks, to sail on a special
"travel agent" two-night
voyage on the Oasis of the
Seas and all I could say was


"wow," so I guess the
marketing department of
Royal Caribbean hit its
mark.
A few stats: the vessel is
the largest cruise ship at
225,282 tons and can
accommodate 5,400 guests.
It boasts seven "neighbor-
hoods" from Central Park, a
tropical plant- and tree-
filled promenade with
cafes, restaurants and
boutique shops, to the
Boardwalk, a Coney Island-
esque space featuring a
handmade wooden
carousel and AquaTheater.
The Royal Promenade is
an inside mall that runs
from mid/aft to forward
with bars, cafe', pizzeria
and shops. The pool deck is
an active place with two
surf simulators, a mini-golf
course, a "beach pool,"
private cabanas, a kids'
aquapark (with giant water-
spraying octopus), plenty of
hot tubs and more.
The entertainment
"neighborhood" has various
nightlife options including
water shows, live music,
standup comedy and the hit
Broadway musical "Hair-
spray."
Youth Zone is a kids-only
"neighborhood" featuring a
children's theater, science


lab, arts and crafts classes,
video arcade, nursery and
teens-only space.
The spa and fitness
neighborhood features an
incredible solarium and
options that include a
thermal suite, a spa cafe,
the largest gym at sea and a
dedicated youth spa area.
We arrived at Port
Everglades in Fort Laud-
erdale about 11:30 a.m.
Seeing the ship while
driving toward it, we could
see it was huge. The
embarkation process was
quick and easy at one of the
92 check-in desks. We
encountered no issues here
or in debarkation.
Walking up the gangplank
was a little steep, which
may cause an issue for
those who have difficulty
walking, however there
were plenty of wheelchairs
(with crewmembers to push
them) available. You did
not have to make prior
arrangements just ask.
Speaking with some people


"in the know" on board, an
escalator type of device is
being considered for this
area. They already have one
for some of the ports, so it is
not such a stretch.
We boarded on deck five,
the promenade deck. We
crossed over the jogging
track and through a wide
entrance onto the Royal
Promenade, which runs
down the inside of the ship
and has shops, eateries,
bars, etc., on both sides.
Since it was a little early
to put our luggage in our
cabin, we went directly to
the top of the ship to start
our journey there.
On our way up, the glass
elevators gave us our first
glimpse of things to come
as we passed deck 6 where
you enter the Boardwalk
and deck 8 where we will
later walk along the paths,
through the foliage of
Central Park.
Our very first stop was the
solarium located on deck 16
forward, just above the
bridge. We were taken
aback by the size and space,
with two huge strips of glass
above that protect you from
the wind and rain but allow
the sun to shine through.
There is a space between
the two, which allows for


fresh air to circulate. Also in
the solarium you will find a
freshwater pool, can-
tilevered whirlpools that
flank both sides, a bar, the
Solarium Bistro serving
light and healthy fare, and
many loungers and cabanas
for two.
Next, we went to the
Windjammer Marketplace
for lunch. I was a bit
surprised that it did not
look overly large for the
amount of people it was to
serve. We ventured around
to find a nice table by the
windows overlooking the
sports and pool zone. Below
we can see the Central Park
with all its foliage. We
couldn't wait to get down
there to explore up front
and personal.
There were plenty of
choices for lunch from
salads to burgers and fries.
A carving station with
steamship beef (changes
daily to turkey, pork or
ham) included all the
trimmings. A station with
more of the lighter fare was
also available.
After lunch, we ventured
to our D3 balcony stateroom
located on deck 12 forward.
The stateroom was nicely
appointed with teak woods
and chrome accents. The


bedding was incredibly
comfortable and dressed in
white down with turquoise
accents. Both the room and
the bathroom were spacious
enough, as was the closet.
The bathroom had a
rounded shower with doors
and gave us plenty of room.
One very noticeable addi-
tion was a bar that was
mounted catty-corner,
about a foot off the floor of
the shower for leg shaving (if
you have ever tried to shave
your legs in a tiny shower,
you will really appreciate
this addition).
We ventured out to see the
other staterooms in various
categories set up for our
viewing. The various pricing
of the balconies is based on
the location of the state-
room, not necessarily the
size of the room; they were
all basically the same size.
I will embellish more in
my next column. There was
so much to see and do, three
would probably not be
enough, so I will cram as
much as I can to each.
