Candidates tap local


donors for campaign cash


BY WARREN KAGARISE
Staff writer
INDIAN RIVER COUN-
TY Despite quarreling
between national and
state Democrats, the
party's presidential candi-
dates have raised more
money in the Sunshine
State than their GOP
counterparts.
Florida voters are set to
cast presidential primary
ballots Jan. 29 making
the state a major player in
the presidential nominat-
ing contests.
Since January 2007,
when the long campaign
began, candidates have
mined Florida for politi-
cal donations.
In Indian River County,
where registered Republi-
cans hold a vast advan-
tage, GOP fundraising
held strong during 2007.
Republican John
McCain leads other presi-
dential candidates in
campaign contributions
from county residents.


Shelters

second

chance

INDIAN RIVER COUN-
TY Little Bit arrived
frightened and pregnant.
Bailey showed up after a
disagreement with his
new housemate. BB,
meanwhile, was aggres-
sive, "very nasty" in the
words of the officers who
collared him.
Rosa Harding had a
place for all of them: All
Pet Rescue, the animal
shelter she operates from
her home in the Vero
Beach Highlands.
Little Bit, a Chihuahua
mix, gave birth to four
puppies that were placed
into homes. Bailey, a 5-
year-old dachshund, who
fought with a new dog his
owners brought home, is
now waiting for a new
family. As for BB, another
Chihuahua mix, he mel-
lowed under Mrs. Hard-
ing's care.
"It's amazing what, a lit-
tle love and care does, isn't
it?" Mrs. Harding said last
week.

Republican Mitt Romney
and Democrat Barack
Obama are also top recip-
ients of local campaign
cash.
During the first nine
months of 2007, Treasure
Coast residents con-
tributed about $500,000
to presidential cam-
paigns.
Mr. McCain, an Arizona
senator, raised almost
$190,000 from Treasure
Coast donors. Nearly
$140,000 came from Indi-
an River County contribu-
tors, according to Federal
Election Commission
data.
For Mr. Romney, a for-
mer Massachusetts gover-
nor, local fundraising has
also proven lucrative. By
the end of the third quar-
ter, Mr. Romney raised
about $172,000. Indian
River County donors con-
tributed about $65,000 to
that total.
Though two of the three
Treasure Coast counties
tilt Republican in presi-


dential elections, Mr.
Obama has raised more
local money than other
Democrats about
$85,000. Almost $70,000
for the Illinois senator
came from Indian River
County donors.
Presidential candidates
pulled in about $420 rfil-
lion nationwide during
the first nine months of
2007, according to
finance data released in
October. Floridians con-
tributed almost $18 mil-
lion. Democrats have
raised $10.2 million; in
Florida, compared to $8.9
million for Republican
candidates.
Donors are allowed to
contribute up to $2,300
per candidate for the pri-
mary election, and then
another $2,300 during the
general election cam-
paign.
Information for the
fourth-quarter filing peri-
od, which ended Dec. 31,
was not available at press
time.

VERO BEACH Unless
the City Council or County
Commission intervenes, an
off-leash dog park founded
almost a decade ago will
close by the end of February.
Keeping the 4.5-acre park
open has been a struggle for
the past year, since the prop-
erty owner announced that
the land would be put up for
sale. Though the property
was offered to Dogs for Life,
which operates the park, for
$275,000, members could not
raise the amount.
Members also questioned
if Dogs for Life should be
focusing on the future of the
dog park, when the organiza-
tion is set up to train assis-
tance and service dogs for the
disabled.
"We had a lot of elements
working against us," Dogs for
Life executive director Shelly
Ferger said.

New York City impressed
him as well.
"The war on terrorism is
the biggest challenge we
have and we'd better
win it," Mr. Sexton said.
, Though Indian River
Shores Councilwoman
Frannie Atchison donated
$1,000 to the McCain cam-
paign and thinks he would
make "an excellent candi-
date for our country," she
remains undecided.
"I can't tell you right
now for whom I'm going to
vote," Mrs. Atchison said
last week. She cited the
economy, healthcare,
immigration and terror-
ism as concerns.
Despite the long cam-
paign season, voters are
paying attention to presi-
dential candidates, local
political activists said.
"Normally you hear that
people in one party or the
other are disappointed
with candidates, but I'm
not hearing that among
Democrats this time
around," said Steven
Willis, a state committee-
man with the Indian River
County Democratic Party.

committeewoman.
Otto and Maria Vitale,
the owners of Advantage
Realty in Stuart, are back-
ing Mr. Giuliani. Both
Vitales have donated
$2,300 to the Giuliani cam-
paign.


"I am a New Yorker, and I
saw him clean up New
York," said Mrs. Vitale, who
classifies herself as an
independent. "He's a won-
derful leader, and he
stopped a lot of organized
crime. He's a strong per-
son, and he has he courage
to do things that other
people are afraid to do."
Candidates have also
targeted the Treasure
Coast for votes, stumping
here or sending family
members to campaign.
In April, Mr. Obama
hosted a private fundraiser
at a barrier island Vero
Beach home. Democrat
Mike Gravel brought his
long-shot presidential bid
to Vero Beach in October.
Ann Romney, wife of
Republican presidential
hopeful Mitt Romney,
hosted a Vero Beach cam-
paign fundraiser last
month. Two of their sons,
Tagg and Craig, also
stumped for their father in
Indian River County.
Evett Simmons, a Port St.
Lucie attorney, donated
$2,300 to the Clinton cam-
paign. But she also volun-
teered her time. During
the run-up to the Iowa
caucuses; .) Ms Simamons
planned to travel to the

phone banks for her cho-
sen candidate.
"We need experience
coupled with change to get
us to where we need to go,"
Ms. Simmons said. "This
country-is in a mess. I look
at our economy and our
morale and I see that we
need someone who is
strong and really cares."

"The Heart Team did more than fix my heart-

they gave me afresh attitude about life."


Last December, three days before taking my family off on a
once-in-a-lifetime bill-fishing trip to Costa Rica as a
Christmas present, I kept an appointment with my primary
care physician to renew my prescriptions. I had been on
every heartburn/acid reflux medication over the last two
years but my reflux was worse than ever. I told my doctor
I felt like something was seriously wrong.
And as it turned out, it was. Two minutes into a stress test,
my doctor sent me directly to the hospital for a cardiac

catheterization. I had four blocked arteries-and urgently
needed open-heart surgery with Dr. Cary Stowe. ,
I was impressed with the whole crew-from the ER, to
cardiac cath, to surgery, intensive care, the step-down unit
and cardiac rehab. They always explained what they were
doing and what to expect. Competent, dedicated and
professional, the Heart Team did more than fix my
heart-they gave me a fresh attitude about life.
The 'big fish' may have gotten away this time. But the
Heart Team gave me the best Christmas gift ever-a second
chance to enjoy my family and all that life offers.

lifesaving tool


BY WARREN KAGARISE
Staff writer
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- When the Vero Beach
Police Department began
equipping its patrol cars
with a lifesaving device sev-
eral years ago, officers knew
they might one day use the
tool to save someone like
John Merchant.
In March 2003, the Vero
Beach retiree recalled driv-
ing across the 17th Street
Bridge and then turning
north onto State Road AlA.
After that, his memory turns
fuzzy for the next six weeks.


While driving, Mr. Mer-
chant suffered a heart
attack. When motorists driv-
ing behind him noticed his
car veering off the highway
and into a tree, they called
911.
Officer Jason Jones, who
responded less than a
minute later, revived Mr.
Merchant with an automat-
ed external defibrillator. The
device, commonly known as
an AED, uses an electric
shock to restore a normal
heartbeat.
While Mr. Merchant, 75,

Seasonal hiring causes dip in
November unemployment
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY Unemployment numbers
dipped in November, after climbing to the third-highest
jobless level in the state earlier this fall. Seasonal jobs,
fueled by hiring in the agriculture and tourism indus-
tries, helped lower the Indian River County jobless rate
to 6 percent, according to state employment statistics
released late last month.
The statistics illustrate that, out of a 61,703-member
workforce, 3,702 people were unemployed during
November, a 0.5 percent decline from the October job-
less rate. Overall, unemployment was up to 6 percent
from 4.3 percent from the same period in 2006.
Indian River County trailed Hendry County, which
recorded 7.5 percent unemployment, St. Lucie County,
which recorded 6.3 percent unemployment, and Her-
nando County, which recorded 6.2 percent unemploy-
ment.
State labor officials attributed the high Hendry County
rate to seasonal declines in agriculture and related
industries.
Unemployment in Indian River County reached the
third-highest level in the state during October. During
October, the local jobless rate climbed to 6.5 percent -
meaning that 7,899 Indian River County residents were
unemployed. The October data also shows a jump from
the 4.4 percent unemployment rate recorded during the
same period in 2006.
Since November 2006, Florida added 90,200 jobs,
according to state statistics. About 60 percent of those
new jobs came in the education, health and tourism
industries. Construction employment, reeling from
declines in the housing market, lost 24,100 jobs during
the same period. The year marked was the first time
since 1992 that Florida has experienced nine consecu-
tive months of over-the-year declines in construction
jobs, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce
Innovation, the state agency that tracks employment
trends.
"The agency remains committed,and ready to serve
Floridians through education, training and workforce
programs," Monesia T. Brown, director of the Agency for
Workforce Innovation, said in a news release. "Through-
out the state's nearly 100 One-Stop Career Centers, we
are enhancing our re-employment services to meet the
needs of the people of Florida."
December unemployment figures will be released Jan.
18.

State, environmental offi-

said in a news release.
In December, the state
upgraded the status of the
Indian River Lagoon Blue-
way program, which seeks
to acquire land along the
environmentally sensitive
waterway.
According to a state
inventory released in
November, only 16. percent
of the lands eyed for preser-
vation have been pur-
chased, leaving 22,640 acres
left to acquire. Since the
effort was launched in 1998,
the state, counties and
water management districts
have bought 3,766 acres for
$19.8 million.
State estimates show the
cost of the remaining
parcels totaling more than
$58 million.

and watery eyes led the
Indian River County Health
Department to issue a red
tide advisory last month.
Health Department offi-
cials issued the alert after
residents and visitors to
Wabasso Beach complained
of the symptoms. Though
red tide is not a widespread
public health threat, the
toxic algae can produce
mild and short-lived symp-
toms.
Red tide is caused by large
numbers of neurotoxin-
producing microscopic
algae. Red tide gets its name
because it can turn sur-
rounding water a reddish-
brown color. Algae blooms
'an last up to several
months, but conditions
change daily based on
wind.
Exposure to red tide can
lead to eye, nose and throat
irritation, but the symp-
toms usually fade when a
person leaves the affected
area. Red tide can also kill
fish.
Residents near the affect-
ed area are advised to close
their windows, and may
want to wear paper filter
masks outdoors if winds are
blowing from the shore.
Swimming in red tide can
cause burning eyes and skin
irritation.
Health Department offi-
cials also said locally har-
vested clams, oysters and
other shellfish should not
be eaten until the advisory
is lifted. Precautions should
also be taken when prepar-.
ing fish caught in local
waters, the Health Depart-
ment said.

umn for 5 years now, and I've
decided to work on the format. I
will continue to. write about inter-
esting facts on gemstones,
pearls etc., but I will also add
some information on the metals
market and trends in the jewelry
industry.
As many of you know and
see daily, the gold market has
soared towards the $800 per
ounce mark, pushing its all time
high of $850 per ounce in
January of 1980. The price of
gold has increased $190.00 in
the past 12 months, that's an
amazing 32% increase!
Most experts agree that gold
prices will continue to rise. How
does this affect you, the con-
sumer? The chain stores contin-
ually re-price, therefore you can
expect to find prices for jewelry
almost anywhere at an all time
high. Independent jewelers will
have to follow suit.
In my business we buy and
sell large amounts of scrap gold
daily, both from you the con-
sumer, and from other jewelry
stores. A trend I have seen in a
lot of smaller retailers is that
they are "scrapping" much of
their inventory because the
value of the gold is so high.
Because we scrap so much
gold, we can and do sell jewelry
at prices that are often close to
the scrap gold price and far
below retail prices.
You can also benefit from the
high gold prices by selling your
unwanted gold jewelry and your
scrap gold. St Lucie Jewelry
also trades in Gold, Silver,
Platinum and bullion for a small
commission. As of the writing of
this column the prices are still
moving up....

Please continue to support us
I hope the Indian River County Commissioners
continue their support of the 5,000 residents of Vista Gar-
dens, Vista Royale, and surrounding areas and for all county
citizens who may, in the future, find themselves in a similar
predicament with abandoned golf courses or other aban-
doned developments.

Even pet toys are 'Made in China'
With all of the items being recalled from China, you can't
be too safe. Since most of the items in the media are chil-
dren's toys and my children are all grown and on their own, I
should double-check all the items that I buy for my other
children (Chihuahuas).
I was in for a great surprise as my husband and I went
from store to store and almost everything was stamped with
Made in China.
From dog treats to dog toys, you are highly unlikely to find
more than one item in each store that isn't made in China.
After even asking for assistance from store clerks, we found
-i that they were as surprised as we were that the items for our
four legged loved ones, aren't American made either.
What a wake-up call for an American who lives in the USA,
-- not to be able to purchase American-made products. I've
never been so disappointed, to not find more than one item
for our doggies that wasn't made in China.

Turn down the background music
I am getting to the point of no return when it comes to lis-
tening to almost every program on TV for some reason they
all seem to have their background music tuned up so high


that most times you can't even hear what the main charac-
ters in the movies have to say. The old time movies rarely, if
ever, had this problem, and never did it interfere with what
the actors were saying, are the musicians so hard of hearing
that they can't hear how loud it is, or am I the oddball when
it comes to loud music?

Let's talk about the AMT
One rather major political item didn't get much play in the
mainstream news this past week.
Congress passed a bill reforming the Alternative Mini-
mum Tax. This measure had been enacted years ago to
make it more likely that very wealthy taxpayers would not
escape paying taxes by way of various deductions and loop-
holes. Reform to that law was needed as inflation had the
AMT imposing substantially more taxes on the middles


class.
Reform of the AMT had only one issue; how to deal with
the shortfall in revenue it would cause $50 billion. The
Democrats proposed a solution: Remove the loophole that
allows hedge fund managers to pay taxes on virtually all
their earnings at the 15 percent capital gains rate.
These ultra wealthy Managers have designed the compen-
sation for their services so that they are considered partici-
pants in the funds by investing not capital, but their servic-
es. Normally their compensation would be taxed at the
much higher ordinary income rates that the rest of us pay.
There aren't many of these managers, but their pay is so
high (many are paid in the billions) this tradeoff would
work.
This seemed like a win-win. Middle Class taxpayers get
the break they need, and it is paid for by fairness aimed at

For this New Year, get a new you the sensible way


E very newspaper,

on starting the year off right
with diet and exercise.

probably top most people's

going to talk about some-
thing I call "The Power of

small change, instead of
trying to overhaul your
entire lifestyle at once. That
effort, for most of us, is
doomed to failure.
The American Heart
Association recommends


healthy eating (not dieting)
and a healthy lifestyle as the
keys to fighting heart
disease. The changes and
suggestions they make fit
easily into the idea of The
Power of One. You can make
little changes, even one at a
time, to find yourself eating
better.
One proviso: talk to your
doctor before changing your
diet, especially if you have an
illness, take medications or

they make.

Learning to cut, copy, paste saves users a lot of time


Salkto any seasoned
computer user and
you'll find that
"copying and pasting" is a
regular technique.
It is used to move data
from one place to another,
even from one program to
another.
Many users would be lost
without this powerful
ability.
Repetitive tasks, such as
filling in fields on forms, can
be quickly streamlined by
borrowing or "copying" data
that has already been typed
somewhere in your com-
puter and inserting (or
pasting it) wherever you
like. Even Windows ele-
ments, such as icons,
shortcuts, files and folders,


can be moved around using
copy, cut and paste.
The glue that holds the
whole thing together is
called the clipboard and this
is the part that throws most
people. That's because the
clipboard is hidden behind
the scenes and you rarely
ever see it. Since it's invisi-
ble, you have to take it on
faith that something is really
happening when you copy.
That's where most people
have trouble.
When you copy something
to the clipboard, there is no
obvious indicator that
anything has happened
until you go to paste, and
then "pop," whatever you
copied to the clipboard
pops into place wherever


SEAN MCCARTHY
Compute This

you paste it, sometimes
minutes (even hours) after
copying it.
There are actually three
commands associated with


this technique: copy, cut
and paste.
Cut and copy are very
similar with one difference.
When you copy something
to the clipboard, the
original item stays put. But
when you cut something,
the original item actually
deletes from its original
location when you finally
get around to pasting it.
This brings us to the third
command: paste. Once you
have a bit of data copied to
the clipboard, whether it's
text, pictures, files, folders,
icons or whatever, you can
insert that data wherever
you want just by clicking
paste.
Even though you can copy
and paste from different


parts of Windows, there are
some rules that governitlhe
whole thing.
For instance, you can't
copy and paste icons and
folders into programs. In
other words, you can't copy
your my documents folder
and paste it into a Word
document. It just won't
.work.
You have to keep within
loose boundaries. Copy text
and paste it into areas that
normally hold text, such as
word processors and form
fields. Copy graphics and
paste them into places that
usually manage graphics,
such as image editors. Copy
files, folders and icons and
paste into places that
support files, folders and


'icons, such as disk drives
and your desktop.
So, how does it all work?
Let's run through a quick
scenario.
Let's say that you just got
done installing a new
program on your machine.
In order to launch this
program, however, you have
to click start, then prop-
grams, then go to the new
programs group and click
on the program icon.
Isn't there a way to get an
icon on the desktop that we
can click without having to
navigate through all those
menus?
Sure! We can use copy and
paste to place an icon on

From page A6
the very people the AMT was meant to affect. Without pay-
ing tfo removing the tax on the middle class, the debt that
has the US borrowing $1 billion per week from China (yes,
China) would explode further,
One problem. The Republicans, including the President,
were unwilling to remove the loophole for their super
wealthy friends, Because of filibustering in the Senate and
the threat of veto from the White House, we now have AMT
rerirm, but the perfect way to pay for it is gone and we are
burdened with more debt.
When I was growing up I remember asking my father
what Democrats stood for (we were Democrats). He told me
Democrats tried to help ordinary working people. I asked
hiM what Republicans stood for. He told me they tried to
make the rich richer and the poor poorer. I thought that was
a terribly mean thing to say about a group of people and
could not possibly be true. I am now 55. Whether it is the
Issue of taxes, the minimum wage, workers rights, trade
union legislation, or seeking cheaper labor overseas, I have
never found a bit of evidence indicating my father was
wrong.

Casinos would bring big bucks to Florida
I'm writing this in response to the person who wrote
"Florida Should Get Into The Gambling Business."
I agree with you 100 percent.
Florida is missing out on a golden opportunity here.
We should open up two or three gambling zones here in
Florida one in south Florida, one in central Florida and
one in northern Florida. There's little doubt the industry
would flourish here.
However, I don't agree that it should be run by the state.
Casinos should be run by private companies, just as
they are in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Just as in Vegas
though, they should be taxed heavily with the
proceeds being used to offset and/or eliminate our
currently out of control property tax burden and to
fund education as well. Think about it. Vegas is a
popular destination, even though it,s a city in the
middle of the desert. Florida has a whole heck of a lot more
to offer than the desert. It's a destination in and of itself.
Throw in true Vegas style gambling with the world-class
resorts and recreation we currently have and suddenly
Florida becomes the destination of all destinations.
The economy would boom, residents would be relieved of
their heavy tax burdens and plenty of needed mid-level
jobs would be born. I believe it is something our top brass
should seriously consider. I've written in to Governor
Crist's office on the subject multiple times over the last year,
but have yet to receive a response. My only hope is he and
his staff are too busy to respond, but that they are listening,
and listening intently as I believe this could be the answer
to many of the financial problems plaguing Florida at the
moment.

Quit blowing the grass into the water
How do the lawn services get away with blowing all the
cut grass and other landscaping leftovers into the sur-
rounding waterways?
Isn't there a law against this?
And when the waterways become unnavigable because of
this build up, will the landscapers pay?

Vero Beach winter resident Mary Mitchell sits on a bench' with her English cocker spaniel Jasper at the Dogs For Life

close at the end of February.

County Commission to con-
sider buying the park. The
land, located at 12th Street
and 16th Avenue, near Vero
Beach Elementary School, is
the only fenced-in off-leash
park in Vero Beach.
Since 2002, Dogs for Life
has operated the 200-mem-
ber park. Membership fees
paid for maintenance.
To attract new members
and raise money to buy the
park, Dogs for Life offered
reduced-price member-
ships and "collarships" for
pets to enroll at the park.
While the efforts helped
attract new members, Dogs
for Life raised only $25,000.
So, for the last three
months, Dogs for Life has
opened the park gates for
free.


In addition to providing
dogs with a place to romp,
the park allowed owners to
socialize and provided
seniors with an opportuni-
ty to give their dogs a work-
out.
"There are a lot of elderly
folks in our community
who cannot walk their dog
properly," Ms. Ferger said.
"But they can walk from
their car to the gate."
In Sebastian, a city-
owned dog park is set to
open later this year.
Last fall, the Sebastian
City Council approved a
half-acre, $20,000 dog park.
Though Ms. Ferger said it
will be difficult to accom-
modate many dogs on the
site, the effort is a step in
the rightdjrpctijon.


And, she added, the
Sebastian effort "is making
the timing perfect for us."
When the Dogs for Life
park sale was announced,
the organization was confi-
dent that the park would
remain open.
In February 2007, Dogs
for Life members were
promised a donation to
keep the off-leash dog park
open.
Then an anonymous
donor offered $250,000 to
buy the dog park property.
In May, the donor pulled
the offer, due to unspeci-
fied limitations with the
trust that would have fund-
ed the donation.
The park owner offered
the land to Dogs for Life for
$275,000. When the lease


expired in July, the owner
extended the lease in three-
month increments.
Now, Ms. Ferger said, it is
time to focus on other
endeavors.
Despite an uncertain
future for the park, Dogs for
Life is committed to its mis-
sion of training assistance
and.service dogs, Ms. Ferg-
er said.
Assistance dogs are
trained to help their owners
with everyday tasks that
age or illness have made
difficult. For instance, the
dogs can pick up dropped
keys or dial 911 on a modi-
fied phone.
Service dogs aid people
with disabilities, acting as
guide dogs for the blind or
signal dogs for the deaf.

Pets
From page A1


All Pet Rescue and Pro-
fessional Animal World in
Sebastian are nonprofit,
no-kill shelters. Both rely
on donations and volun-
teers to save animals from
often-miserable condi-
tions and help place them
with new families, sparing
the animals from euthana-
sia.
All Pet Rescue relies on
Mrs. Harding and foster
families who care for pets
until permanent homes
can be found.
At Professional Animal
World, the team tends to
dozens of cats and dogs
each day feeding and
walking them, cleaning
their cages, and snapping
digital photos of the ani-
mals for a pet adoption
Web site.
"Then we wake up the
next morning and do it all
over again," said Jacque
Petrone, who, along with
her mother Maria Hart,
opened the shelter in July
2006.
Professional Animal
World is housed in a for-
mer boarding kennel.
When the. tenant left, MI.
Hart, who owns the build-'
ing, offered the building
for a shelter.
Each week, the shelter
takes in unwanted pets
dropped off by their own-
ers and stray animals. By
late winter, both shelters
expect to be inundated
with pets, cats and dogs
that arrived as Christmas
gifts.
Together, the shelters
provide refuge for hun-
dreds of birds, cats, dogs,
horses, rodents and, once
at Professional Animal
World, a monkey.
At All Pet Rescue, Mrs.
Harding rescues ;animals
from Okeechobee County
Animal Control,, where
unclaimed animals are put
down after one week. Mrs.
Petrone also visits conven-
tional shelters, searching
for animals that need
homes.
Caring for the animals is
a labor of the love, the
shelter owners said.
Though both shelters .use
sympathetic veterinari-
ans, animal care is expen-
sive.
"I wouldn't want to tell
you what I owe my vet


right now," Mrs. Harding
said.
One day last week, Mrs.
Petrone arrived at the
shelter carrying a puppy
that had been struck by a
car and abandoned.
Surgery to repair the bro-
ken limbs cost $500.
"I know I can't save them
all, but she found me,"
Mrs. Petrone said.
Adoption fees help pay
for the animals' care. Pets
are spayed or neutered,
and checked* for heart-
worms and other diseases
before being put up for
adoption.
Both shelters are seek-
ing donations to expand
their programs and
improve the quality of
care. Professional Animal
World wants to turn a
vacant lot adjacent to the
shelter into a yard where,
dogs can play. Mrs. Hard-
ing of All Pet Rescue wants:
to lay down fresh sod in
her backyard so the ani-
mals can spend more time
outside.
All Pet Rescue also takes
in horses, which Mrs,.
-Harding houses-,:" t ;~jf I
friend's stables west of'
Vero Beach. "..
When Mrs. Harding:
takes a break from caring
for the cats and dogs each
afternoon, she heads to
the stables to muck stalls
and feed the rescued hors-
es.
Raised on a farm in Ten-
nessee, Mrs. Harding has
loved animals from an
early age. Before founding
All Pet Rescue, she worked
as a veterinary technician
for 13 years.
"My kids are grown,"
Mrs. Harding said. "These
[animals] are my babies."
Keeping animals safe is
paramount, Mrs. Petrone
said.
"Instead of giving a
euthanasia shot," she said,
"we're giving a pet a sec- .,
ond chance."
Professional Animal
World is located at 710
Jackson St., Sebastian. It

BUSINESS


Dynamic Air

features quality

service


BY AY MEISEL
Associate managing editor
VERO BEACH Cus-
tomers of Dynamic Air
Quality and Cooling Sys-
tems can be sure of three
things, owner Michael Boyle
said.
They can expect quality
work at a guaranteed low
price by workers who know
what they are doing.
"Dynamic Air is a trusted
name in air conditioning,
with a reputation for pro-
viding quality, professional-
ism and reliability of our
work," Mr. Boyle stated in a
letter send to homeowners.
"We are members of the
Treasure Coast Building
Association and Better Busi-
ness Bureau.
"We employ only skilled
workers with at least five
years experience, including
a former mechanical
inspector," he stated.
Mr. Boyle, himself, has


more than 25 years of expe-
rience in the business. He
started working on cooling
systems in 1981 after gradu-
ating from vocational
school in Long Island.
"I've been here for 11
years," he said of Indian
River County.
After working for a few
years for another business,
Mr. Boyle opened Dynamic
about two years ago.
A major factor in that was
Mr. Boyles' expertise in
removing mold. He's a certi-
fied microbial remediator
and a certified indoor envi-
ronmentalist.
In his previous job, he
said, a lot of people called
specifically for him because
of his knowledge about
removing mold. That busi-
ness skyrocketed after the
hurricanes in 2004 because
of the increase in mold
problems.

efficiency systems, com-
mercial residential, indus-
trial, zoning systems, pool
heaters and custom homes.
We offer 24-hour fast
response service on all
makes and models. There is
no job too large or small,"
he stated.
People interested in
receiving such service -can
call (772) 565-2185 and talk
personally to Mr. Boyle.
"All of our estimating is

Dynamic will respond
immediately, he said.
For people to help avoid
such an emergency situa-
tion, Mr. Boyle recommends
yearly maintenance checks.
In talking about the rea-
sons for problems, he said,
"Most of the time its age -
not having the proper main-
tenance."
For new customers, Mr.
Boyle said, he can provide
more than 100 references.
Several of the area's lead-
ing HVAC contractors who
are no longer involved in
new construction are
among those who recom-
mend Dynamic, he said.

County, Dynamic also
serves customers in St.
Lucie and Brevard counties.

Spas are not just for the
seemingly spoiled
anymore.
The origin of the word spa
,Chas been debated over the
centuriese, but what we
p,know is that it dates back to
.the Roman era where
soldierses returning from
warsr, would take to rejuve-
,?,nation, relaxation and
t reatment of wounds
-.rthrough water.
.': Some say it is an acronym
,for the Latin phrase sanitus
-.per aqua (health through
S, water). Others believe it
-'originated in the Belgium
:"town of Spa, which rose to
,' fame in the 14th century
when a thermal spring was
discovered there.
Either way, the ancient
spa has evolved to be an
umbrella term describing
places and experiences that
people would seek for
',,renewal of body, mind and
"spirit.
The new spa offers
ancient therapies from all
over the world in wellness
-and preventive treatments,
.,as well as beauty enhance-
ments.
Spas are offered by
category: medical, detox,
weight-loss, organic, day,
,.golf, boutique, destination,
,'romantic, vegetarian,
single, couples, etc. These
- 7 range from luxury to
.affordable. There is some-
i"thing for everyone and
-f every ailment. Whatever
Your interest, there will
"probably be a spa some-
7where in the world that
"caters to it.

newest vessels, the Costa
Concordia and Costa
Serena, offer a new style of
cruising with the ultra
luxury Samsara Spa that
features exclusive accom-
modations that provide
guests with a complete
wellness getaway. The-
staterooms, although no
larger than their counter-
parts, offer Samsara Spa
products and a flat- screen
TV.
Costa's guests who sail in
spa accommodations will
enjoy unlimited access to
spa accommodations, a
personalized wellness
consultation, tea ceremony
in the Samara Spa, two
complimentary treatments,
two complimentary fitness
or meditation classes, two
sun tanning sessions in the
solarium, and complimen-
tary access to the Ris-
torante Samsara, exclusive-
ly reserved for guests with
Samsara accommodations.
This is a very different
experience from conven-
tional cruising.
The Costa Concordia
(2006) and the Costa Serena
(2007) are sister vessels
weighing in at 112,000 tons


and have a capacity of
3,000 passengers each.
They sail year round on
Eastern and Western
Mediterranean itineraries
that include ports-of-call in
Italy, Greece, Turkey and
Croatia. k
As with most cruises,
Costa has something for
everyone. With the intro-
duction of the Samsara Spa
experience, it has brought
yet another level to cruising.
Those who book one of the
55 Samsara cabins or 12
Samsara suites with direct
access to the two-deck
facility receive a "Welcome
Ritual" package which
includes an invitation to a
relaxing tea ceremony, a
personalized consultation, a
choice of two spa, two
fitness or meditation
lessons, two tanning
sessions, unlimited use of
in-spa perks, such as the
thalassotherapy pool, and a
reserved table in the
Samsara Restaurant.
The vessels also sport
single staterooms (12 inside
only) for solo travelers,
something that is very
much needed in the cruise
industry. There are very few
(if any) single staterooms
on most cruise ships. Many
times, travelers who want


to travel alone have to pay
200 percent of the state-
room cost. This will cer-
tainly be a welcomed
change.
Costa Cruises began as a
freight line that introduced
its first North American
cruise ship, the Costa
Riviera, in 1985. This
launched the "Cruising
Italian Style" theme. The
line became a fully owned
subsidiary of Carnival in
2000. The cruise line has a
very European flare to both
its d6cor and cuisine. Aft
and architecture are an
important part of the Costa
experience, and all ships
feature millions in original
artwork and handcrafted
furnishings. The itineraries
are generally port intensive
and few at sea days.
Costa is celebrating its
60th anniversary this year
and is offering 40 to 55
percent off Europe sailings
on these vessels for a
limited time. Reserve early
for best rates and availabili-
ty.

From page A3
looked on, Indian River
Medical Center donated 10
AEDs to local law enforce-
ment agencies, five apiece
for the Indian River County
Sheriff's Office and Vero
Beach Police.
Dr. Cary Stowe, medical


director of cardiovascular
surgery at IRMC, said the
devices would help deputies
and officers act as an exten-
sion of the hospital.
"There is an adage in car-
diac care: Time is muscle,"
Dr. Stowe said during the


Dec. 20 ceremony.
Now, Vero Beach Police
will equip 19 of its 34 patrol
cars with AEDs, and 14 of
the 292 Sheriff's Office cars
will carry the defibrillators.
Sheriff Roy Raymond said
the AEDs could be concen-
trated in rural areas, like
Blue Cypress Lake, that may
take longer for first respon-
ders to reach.
"I'm sure this is going to
be a great lifesaving device,"
he said.
Vero Beach Police Chief
Don Dappen said the AEDs
are a "great tool."
Cardiac Science, the AED
manufacfef trains law
enforcement officers on


how to use the device. Offi-
cers undergo an annual
refresher course, Mr. .,Dap-
pen said.
-Mr. Merchant, who also
spoke during the ceremony,
described himself as ,; a
prime example for putting
AEDs in patrol cars.
Following his 2003. acci-
dent, he was transported to
Holmes Regional Medical
Center in Melbourne, where
he underwent six-way heart
bypass surgery weeks later.
He credits quick thinking
and the AED with saving his
life.
"There's always help' out

chant said.

Tips keep holiday plants looking good


I hope you and your
family had a wonderful
Christmas holiday and
NewYear.
Now that the holidays are
over, many of us will have
an abundance of holiday
'plants to nurture for an
entire year so we can enjoy
them again next year.
One of the most popular
gifts of the holiday season
is amaryllis bulbs.
These bulbs are relatively
easy to take of. If you give
them adequate water and
bright light, they should
bloom in about six weeks.
The best way to water is
to keep the plants evenly
moist. Do not water so
much that the plants are
sitting in standing water.
Keep the plants on a
windowsill or on a protect-
ed porch for the best
results. If your bulbs are
too small in size, you may
have to wait till next year
before you get blooms to
form.
If you received a Norfolk
pine as a gift, or bought
one for yourself, you can
successfully grow it indoors.
As a matter of fact I recom-
mend that you either grow it,
-indoors or plant it in a
container. I do not recom-
mend planting outdoors.
'The tree does not fare well
in hurricane-force winds
'and grow extremely large.
With that sdid, Norfolk
pines will do extremely well


JOE ZELENAK
Garden Nook


in an indoor environment
as long as there is ample
light. Position your plant
near a windowsill where it
will receive a bit of sun
daily.
These plants will do best
if they are watered on a
regular schedule. Keep the
plants evenly moist, but not
dripping wet. Do not allow
the plants to sit in standing
water.
Norfolk pines also enjoy a
humid environment, so if
the plant is indoors, you
may find it beneficial to
lightly mist it from time to
time to help increase the
humidity. Improper water-
ing can result in needle loss
that will not regenerate. In
addition, never try to prune
the tree to shape it. The only
pruning that should be
done on this plant is for


basic maintenance, such as
trimming off dead or yellow
lower branches.
In the past, I have dis-
cussed how to choose and
nurture poinsettia plants
during the holidays. These
delicate plants can also be
planted outdoors after the
season is over.
First, choose a location
that is sheltered away from
strong winds and the full
direct rays of the summer
sun. Also,,choose an area
where you can control the
artificial light at night so
you can get your plants to
bloom next season with
minimal effort.
Use a good quality potting
mix to place your plants in
the ground and be sure it is
a well-drained location. It
might be wise to repot your
plant in a large pot until all
danger of frost and cold
weather has past. March
would be a great transition
month to place your prize in
the ground.
Once the plant is planted
and established, be sure to
trim off all the old red
bracts. You will need to do
this in order to get blooms
next season.
Now comes the tricky
part. Starting around
November or sooner, the
plant is going to need long
nights in order to re-bloom.
During this two-month
period, you will need to
eliminate as much artificial


lighting at night. Keep the
area as dark as possible.
This is the key to getting
new blooms for the holi-
days.
One of the biggest
problems you might
encounter with a poinsettia
plant is root rot. Oftentimes
you will see poinsettia
plants wilting, as if they
were not watered in days.
You go to check the soil and
it is. still moist. So why is the
plant wilting? Actually, the
poinsettia most likely has a
root fungus or disease that
is preventing the plant from
taking on water. That
explains the wilted condi-
tion. This is usually caused
from the plant being in soil
that is overly moist. This
condition will almost

of food, algal growth is
decreased. In addition, the
plants provide shade, which
helps prevent algae growth
by reducing sunlight

another menu pops up. In
the new menu click copy.
This is where people get

Have faith. The menu where

Folk singer to appear at library


BY BARBARA YORESH
Entertainment writer

VERO BEACH -There
was a time when the loud-
est sounds heard at the
library where the stern
"shushes" of disapproving
librarians trying to quiet
unruly readers. While deco-
rum is still encouraged, the
Indian River County's Main
Library in downtown Vero
Beach is quickly becoming
not only a repository for
books, periodicals and
information, but also a
really neat entertainment
venue.
Maria Goodman, the
main library's young adult
librarian/adult program-
ming coordinator, noted,
"the library has a lot of
great things going on.
Everyone is welcome and
feels welcome at these
events and we select (as
peerformers / speakers)
"people" people who love
what they do."
To celebrate a new year
and a slate of upcoming
musical, as well as other
entertainment, the library
will present a performance
by returning artist and
Indian River County resi-
dent Amanda Birdsall on
Friday, Jan. 25.
The singer-songwriter
performs regularly in caf6s,
restaurants, libraries,
house concerts and music
festivals.

In addition to her origi-
nal repertoire, Ms. Birdsall
covers the songs of her
musical mentors including
Joni Mitchell, Carole King,
Bob Dylan, Leonard
Cohen, Janis Joplin and
others.
Her voice has been
described as "stone-
washed silk" and she sings
with verve and conviction.
Growing up in South
Florida, Ms. Birdsall was
intrigued by music at age 6
when she watched a group
of children playing violins
on the "Mr. Rogers' Neigh-
borhood" television show.
The young, would-be
musician asked her parents
if she could learn to play
the violin and they prompt-
ly found a teacher and rent-
ed a violin.
Several years later, she
added piano lessons and
began singing in school
choruses through high
school where she was part
.of a coed sextet, which sang
songs of the 1960s that fea-
tured rich harmonies.
The music of that era
became especially mean-
ingful to Ms. Birdsall
because her parents had
grown up during those
times and continued to lis-
ten to music of the Beatles,
Rolling Stones, the Doors,
Led Zeppelin and many
others. -

Birdsall said.
The young music lover

"I started playing the gui-
tar when I was in college.
My brother had taken gui-
tar lessons as a child, but
he did not stick with it and
the guitar ended up under
the bed for about 10 years
before I picked it up," she
said.

DINING ENTERTHNMENI


Birdsall
From page B1
She took three years of
classical guitar lessons while
in college studying to
become a psychologist, but
at that time had no thoughts
about making music any-
thing other than a pass time.
'As a kid I had written
some songs and poems, but
when I started playing the
guitar at 19 I wasn't thinking
at all about writing my own
music. I was planning to be a
psychologist and music was
just a hobby for me. I contin-
ued studying violin and
piano all the way through
college," she said.
About the time she gradu-
ated from college, she heard
a contemporary folk album
by Patty Griffin, which would
serve as a catalyst for Aman-
da's increasing interest in
that musical genre.
"It was a simple, raw
acoustic album just her
voice and the guitar. It really
blew me away to hear all of
that power and emotion
coming out of one woman,"
Ms. Birdsall said.
By know her years of
studying guitar had afforded
her the proficiency to musi-
cally figure out every song on
that album.
"Learning to sing and play
the guitar at the same time
was thrilling. I started figur-
ing out all of my favorite
songs. Later that summer, I
discovered Bob Dylan
through a friend. I'd heard of
him before, but hadn't really
heard his music and I loved
the great storied he told, the
rich characters he created
and the sense of humanity
and social justice he com-
municated through his
music" she said.
The impact of Dylan and
others began to inspire her to
write music of her own.
"I started longing to write
my own songs. Liz Phair is an
artist who really helped me
start-writing. She's a contem-
liporary edgy.indie-pop artist.
!At the time, my 'voice 'was
kind of weak. Today, my.
voice is much stronger and
fuller, but back then it was
very soft.
"Liz Phair's signing voice
sounded to me like talking
.with melody, which was how
I sang back then rather than
some huge, powerful voice
like a lot of the contempo-
rary pop singers have.. Also,


her lyrics were kind of simple
and blunt. Listening to her
inspired me to just be myself
and write my thoughts and
feelings," Ms. Birdsall said.
The young singer-song-
writer began to perform at
"open mic" venues and was
well received by audiences.
All the while, her exposure to
and influence by other artists
was helping her develop her
own style.
"I heard a guy play Joni
Mitchell's song "California." I
loved it and immediately
bought some of her albums
and started learning her
songs," she said.
Another artist who made
an impression was Gillian
Welch a contemporary
artist with a style Ms. Birdsall
describes as being "like folk
music with a sad, country
twang to it."
Ms. Welch's music was
reminiscent to Dylan,
according to Amanda,
because she created rich
characters and stories with
her lyrics. And, like Joni
Mitchell, Ms. Welch's music
dealt with complex emo-
tions, she said.
"Those are the qualities I
love in music and I try to do
the same with my own song-
writing, with my voice and
perspective," she said.
While the musical notes of
a song lay the foundation
and often create an unfor-
gettable melody, it is the
lyrics that tell the story.
"Lyrics are very important
to me. I think a lot of people
just listen for the beat or the
melody or a catchy chorus. I
like those elements of songs
to a degree, but what I really
love and listen to are the
words. .
"In songwriting, the chal-
lenge is to. say things in a
new way. Anybody can string
a few cliches and chords
together and call it a song
but it has to say something
totally new or put into words
a unique, deep, complex

human emotion or experi-
ence in a way that touches
peoples' souls...or comforts
them by letting them know
they are not alone," she said.
For her, this ability to give
listeners an entirely new
perspective, which opens
their hearts and minds, is
true art.
"I admire musicians who
are true artists, who are cre-
ating the music that they feel
in their souls and whose
uncompromising integrity
prevents them from doing
otherwise," Ms. Birdsall said.
Although many musicians
aspire to the achievement of
those goals, it has become
more difficult in, a music
industry that has radically
changed since those halcy-
on, highly creative days of
1960s era music.
"There are some really
great contemporary song-
writers today, but you rarely
hear them on the radio.
Music has become such a
huge industry. And today it
seems to revolve around
making money by targeting
various demographic groups
and it has a sterilizing effect.
Fortunately, the internet is
giving independent musi-
cians a way to be heard," she
said.
Although "making it' in the
music business has become
more challenging, Amanda
nonetheless has found her
voice and now makes per-
forming a full-time career.
Before that, she was in
.graduate school for psychol-
ogy and worked for several
years as a social worker.
"I have a lot of compas-
sion for people but dealing
with heartbreaking situa-
tions daily was too hard on
my spirit and so I had to
stop.
"Music is my first and
greatest passion and I am
thrilled to be able to make a
living at it," she said.
She has recorded three
CDs of her work beginning

with "Birth Trauma," a com-
pilation of somewhat Ms.
Birdsall refers to as her
"somewhat angry and sar-
castic" songs. The angst
purged, she wrote more fun-
filled, uplifting songs, which
are on her second album
entitled, "Offering." Her
third album recorded dur-
ing a live performance is
entitled, "Live at the Main
Street Caf6."
A new album of new mate-
rial is presently in the works.
All CDs may be purchased at
her performances or by
going online at www.cdba-
by.com. Individual tracks
from her albums are also
available for downloading at
musical sites such as iTunes
and Rhapsody.
When asked what direc-
tion her music will go in the
future, Ms. Birdsall said she
wasn't totally certain, but
said she would unquestion-
ably still revere acoustic
music.
"In the future I would like
.to add other instruments on
my albums and maybe work
with a band. But I love sim-
ple music," she said.
She brings an unusual
sensitivity and insight to her
music and lyrics and tries to
imbue her compositions
with universally understood
meaning.
"I just wrote a song recent-
ly that came out of the time
some years ago that I was a
social worker. The feelings
had been brewing and stew-
ing inside me that took years
to process and finally come
out. The trick is to do it in a
timeless way," Ms. Birdsall
said.
Her performance at the
main library has been re-
scheduled for Friday, Jan. 25
at 6 p.m.
The performance is free.
The Indian River County
Main Library is located at
1600 21st St. in downtown
Vero Beach.

Hop to the

Frog Leg Festival


BY BARBARA YORESH
Entertainment writer
Rib-bit!
It's not likely that Kermit
the Frog will make an
appearance, but with an
action-packed, four-day
Fellsmere Frog Leg Festival
set for Jan 17 20, it is hard-
ly likely that that loveable
green Muppet will be
missed.
The 17th Annual
Fellsmere Frog Leg Festival
gets underway Thursday,
Jan 17, on the grounds of
the old schoolhouse in his-
toric downtown Fellsmere,
just a short drive west of
Interstate 95.
Festival organizers expect
80,000 visitors will attend
this unique event many
coming from other parts of
the state, nation and the
world.


As if frog legs were not
enough to entice at least
the curious, a special event
during this year's festival
will include a return of the
"Redneck Olympics." The
late Jim McKay of ABC's
"Wide World of Sports" and
Olympic coverage in all
likelihood would not have
recognized the "thrill of vic-
tory and the agony of
defeat" in such events as
bobbing for pigs' feet, hay
bale tossing or the tooth-
less grin contest.
But even though these
"red neck" contests might

From page B4
be better known to Larry
the Cable Guy, there is no
doubt that festival atten-
dees will cheer on the
"Olympic' competitors
entered in these "Git 'er
Done" events.
Like the historic city of
Fellsmere that plays host to
this popular event, the fes-
tival itself has a bit of histo-
ry.
Prominent Fellsmere res-
ident and former Indian
River County Commission-
er Fran Adams is credited
with coming up with the
festival idea as a means to
raise funds to provide recre-
ation for Fellsmere chil-
dren.
In 1990, Ms. Adams and a
group of residents decided
that an unrivaled way to
attract people to the city for
an event was to stage a frog
leg festival. Serving up the
fried amphibious
appendages proved to be a
curious, though highly suc-
cessful enticement. That
first year, 400 frog leg din-
ners were served in a sell-
out event.
To date, the festival has
grown in size and scope.
This year, organizers expect


to serve 7,000 dinners and
patrons will have a choice
of frog legs, gator tail or
combo plates.
Besides the gastronomic
delight enjoyed by festival
Epicureans, a perhaps more
important benefit has
resulted from this popular
event. To date, nearly
$500,000 has been raised to
benefit recreational and
educational programs for
Fellsmere children, said
Maggie Sammons, presi-
dent of the festival.
"It's all about the children
and we're looking for
another great year," said
Ms. Sammons who is in her
fourth year as chairwoman
of the event.
Due to the festival's pop-
ularity and scale, many vol-
unteers are needed. Ms.
Sammons noted that 300
area youngsters assist at the
all-volunteer festival
including members of two
4-H clubs as well as softball
and cheerleading/flag
teams.
Among those who volun-
teer for the event is
Fellsmere Mayor Sara Sav-
age.
"We all like it and it's a
great event for us. It's fun to
get out and see everybody
coming from all over,"
Mayor Savage said.

5. Sea/bod Pafter $6.50

Apparently the appeal of
the event brings back for-
mer residents and those
who attended school
together for a special
reunion.
For those gourmets who
prefer to know from
whence their frog legs
come, rest assured that fes-
tival organizers have not
been spending months gig-
ging for bullfrogs in some
local pond.
"It's been hard to get local
frogs due to years of
drought-like conditions, so
we now use farmed vari-
eties. Leopard frogs not
just any ole frog," Ms. Sam-
mons said with a laugh.
The four-day event is
likely to be a hopping-good
time. The fun and food
begin Thursday, Jan. 17 at 4
p.m. and at 5 p.m. There
will be an official opening


ceremony and flag raising
by the VFW Honor guard
and bag piping by Michael
Hyde.
From 6 to 8:30 p.m. that
evening there will be
karaoke with Debbie Han-
ford including cash prizes.
So come out and be a star!
Frog leg and gator tail
dinners will be offered as
well as other fare such as
sausage and peppers and
candy apples.
A frog leg dinner is $8 and
includes sides of grits, cole
slaw and hush puppies. A
frog sampler of one pound
of frog legs with no sides is
$10.
For those who enjoy and
little variety, a combo plate
of gator tail and frogs legs
(with the above mentioned
side dishes) is $13 and a
gator sampler of one pound
of gator tail only is $12.


Dinner hours are Thurs-
day and Friday, 4 to 9 p.m.;
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.;
and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6
p.m.
Festival hours are Thurs-
day and Friday, 4 to 11 p.m.;

entertainment for the
entire family including a

the size of a human crawling
across a forest floor. You would
see things unquestionably
alarming creatures for real if you
could transport yourself back in

ancestors, visit the exhibit creat-
ed by the artist who previously

Each recreated insect takes
several months for Mr. Darrough

enormous care into assuring
that each replica is scientifically


accurate.
Families are invited to "wrigle"
their way through McKee garden
to see firsthand these gigantic
insects.
Admission for adults is 46; $5

Start New Year right with great


breakfast, dinner ideas


Hello, smart shoppers.
Happy 2008. Another
year, another chance
to shop smart, save money
and pay attention to your
health by cutting the bad fat
and cholesterol in your diet.
Experts say breakfast is the
most important meal of the
day.
However, many of us eat it
on the run. I have created my
Super Shake for just that
purpose, and my oatmeal
recipe only takes a few
minutes to prepare.
At this time of the year,
hearty soups equal comfort
food, and roasted garlic is a
recipe you must have.
Enjoy. See you next week.

SUPER SHAKE
1 serving NIB

It's often impossible to eat
five fruits and vegetables a
day. Try my Super Shake to
get everyone's day off to a
great start.
Purchase frozen strawber-
ries and blueberries (no
sugar added).
Peel and cut up ripe
bananas and freeze. By using
frozen fruits, no ice is
needed. I use soy milk, you
can use 1 percent or skim
milk. My preference is Silk
brand soy milk, which can be
found in the dairy case. It
comes in sugar-free plain
(my choice), plain, vanilla
and chocolate. The sugar-
free plain tastes exactly like
real milk, you know, the kind
we used to drink before we
heard about fat and choles-
terol.
Create your own; any fruits
can be used. Add 1 table-
spoon ground flaxseed for
extra fiber and 1/4 cup egg
substitute for protein.
Note: Eating raw eggs is a
no-no. However, egg substi-
tute has been pasteurized
and is safe to use.

1 cup soy milk, plain
1 heaping tablespoon


Place the first four ing
ents in a large microwav
safe container or follow
package instructions for
stovetop cooking. Micro
on high for 5 minutes,
stirring halfway through
Serve with a sprinkling
brown sugar and pass th
half and half.

That same night, Martin
County smoked St. Lucie
West Centennial 74-40,
keeping the Tigers a per-
fect 7-0 on the young sea-
son.
To borrow from a popu-
lar, but overused advertis-
ing campaign from the
NBA, Treasure Coast bas-
ketball has indeed been
"Fanta'ttic" so far this sea-
son.
"Martin County has
played very well," Vero
Beach head coach Chuck
Loewendick said. "They've
put up some big numbers.


"Sebastian and Central
have played very well.
"(These teams) have
played the best basketball
in the area so far."
As sparkling as the
aforementioned teams
have played, Vero Beach
might be at the head of the
. 2007-08 class. Up until
Dec. 21, the Indians were
undefeated, riding a nine-
game winning streak to
open the season.
On that night, however,
Vero came up a little bit
short, losing a 59-51 deci-


sion to the Grandview
Prep Pride the No. 2
ranked team in Class 1A. i
Despite the loss, the
Indians quickly regrouped
to defeat Daytona x
Seabreeze 47-43 the fol- ,i
lowing night to take third ,
place in the St. Andrew's ,;
Holiday Classic. ..V
"Coming into thesea-. ,
son, we felt the kids
worked hard in the off sea- ,
son and preseason," .;-
Loewendick said. "We've '
played well.
"I'm real happy with the r
guys' effort and concen-
tration up to this point.
Our goal is to get better
every practice, every
game."
A big key to Vero's suc-
cess has been the steady
play of point guard Jim ;
Leffew. A three-year ;s
starter, Leffew has been ,
exceptional all season,
including the Indians Dec. t,
14 game against Mel-
bourne.
Once down by nine in
the fourth quarter, Leffew ]
brought the Indians to "I
within one with a 3-point-
er with 1:11 to go. Then,
moments later, the senior
capped the comeback
with a dunk to give Vero j
Beach the lead.
The Indians went on to
win 50-47.
"The Melbourne game,
we didn't play our best
game," Loewendick said.

Hoops
From page B11


"(Leffew) played really
well.
"He's been our leader on
the court. He's averaging
17 points a game and six
assists and only one
turnover a game.
"He's having a great year
for us."
The same can be said
for Keith Matthews of
Sebastian River. Although


just a sophomore,
Matthews has quietly led
the Sharks to a solid 9-2
start. The 15-year-old has
continued to come
through all season, as evi-
denced in Sebastian's
recent district win over
Bayside.
With Bayside holding a
tenuous 73-70 lead with a
minute left in the game,


Matthews drained a 3-
pointer to tie the game.
Sebastian went on to win
the contest 75-73.
"He's a coach's dream,"
Sebastian head coach
Mark Adams said. "He
works as hard as any play-
er I've ever coached.
"He getmne excited to
come to work with him."

Matthews helped lead the
Sharks to a 18-12 mark last
season, making it to the
regional semifinals before
falling to St. Thomas
Aquinas. He continued his
torrid pace into 'this cam-
paign, scoring a double-
double with 21 points and
13 rebounds in Sebastian's
first win of the season over
St. Lucie West Centennial.
The Sebastian resident
had perhaps the best night
of his career in the Sharks
came against area rival
Martin County on Dec. 21.
Matthews poured in a
game-high 36 points, but
it wasn't enough as the
Tigers pulled out a 74-67
win.
Despite the setback, the
Sharks have a chance to
play deep into the post-
season, if Matthews has
anything to say about it.
"I just try and do my
part to help my team win,"
Matthews said. "Winning
games, you've got to like
it."
Martin County has
become accustomed of
late to the sweet taste of
victory as well. The win
over the Sharks was a huge
step in finishing the sea-
son strong after the team
suffered its first loss of the
season in its previous
game against W.T. Dwyer.
"I am confident that we
have enough veteran play-
ers to bounce back after a
tough loss," Martin Coun-
ty head coach Andre McIn-
tyre said. "The kids
responded well."
The Tigers improved to
10-1 with a 80-51 win over
Clearwater Countryside in
the first round of the Hall-
A-Fame Classic. Ridge
Graham led all scorers
with 15 points while
Quamian Foreman


chipped in 13.
"Ridge Harris has been a
dominant presence all
season," McIntyre said.
"He's very consistent.
"He's averaging 20.3
points and 15.6 rebounds
a game. He's dominating
the boards.
"Quamian Foreman I
like to call him the quiet
assassin. He leads by
example. He plays hard.
"He's a very cerebral
player. He thinks the
game. His basketball IQ is
so high."
McIntyre said his team
wouldn't be where it is if
not for the play of shoot-
ing guard Ronnie Nelson.
Known for his ability to hit
the long range jumper -
he leads the Treasure
Coast with 27 3-pointers
- Nelson is also charged
with the duty of shutting
down the opposition's
best.
"He guards the best
perimeter player on the
opposing team," McIntyre
said. "He gets after you
defensively."
Now in his 13th year at
the helm for the Tigers,
McIntyre credits the play-
ers as well as his assistant
coaches for the program's
continued success.
"We've had quality kids
who have been quality
basketball players," McIn-
tyre said. "I've also had
great assistant coaches."
Conversely, in his first
year as coach of Fort
Pierce Central is James
Dawson. A disciple of
Loewendick's, Dawson
gained valuable insight
playing as well as coach-
ing under the Vero Beach
leader. Now, with the
Cobras ,under his charge
Dawson has quickly built
the team into a force to be

reckoned with.
A 65-50 win over city
rival Fort Pierce Westwood
put Central at 8-1 and
looking toward possible
postseason participation.
"My expectation for us
was to be a hard-nosed
defensive team," Dawson
said. "Any game we play,
our goal is to win.
"We started out red hot."
Unfortunately, the
embers have cooled a bit
of late as Central dropped
its last two games, leaving
Dawson shaking his head.
"I think the guys have
gotten complacent," Daw-
son said. "We need surgery
- we're bleeding.
"The better coaches find
a way to stop the bleeding
and rally the troops.
"A lot of teams would
love to be 8-3, but we
could easily be 11-0.
Team-wise, we're better
than the teams we've lost
against.
"Maybe, the style of play
I asked us to play is wear-
ing us down more than the
teams we're playing."
Dawson is hoping some
time off from the game -
the team is not playing in
any holiday tournaments
or practicing during the
Christmas break will be
the remedy.
"It's probably good
being away," Dawson said.
"I'm hoping that's the
case."
Dawson is not the only
first-year coach dipping
his feet into the Treasure
Coast waters. Rob Reck-
nagel of the Titans was
handed the reins of the
program still in its infancy.
The team struggled to a 3-
17 mark last season under
Shane Williams, but the
Titans quickly showed that
this season would be dif-
ferent.
After losing a tightly
contested game to Vero
Beach to open the season,
the Titans defeated South
Fork 51-49 when Matt
Davis sank two free throws
with two seconds remain-
ing in the game.
Treasure Coast then won
another tight affair oni a
last-second shot to send
Sebastian River packing
47-46.
Since then, the Titans
ran its record to 7-6 before
dropping its last two
games. Despite the slide,
Treasure Coast's play has
drawn praise from area
coaches.
"I'm a fan of high school
basketball," Dawson said.
"I like the Treasure Coast
team.
"I like a hard-nosed
team. I like teams that
play hard."
For Loewendick, who
has seen his share of elite
squads in his 20-year
tenure at Vero Beach -
especially his own this
season is no different.
"I take them one (year)
after another," Loewen-
dick said. "As long as I feel
the enthusiasm I'll keep
doing it.
"I have a good group of
kids that make coming to
practice fun."

Wishing upon (sports) stars
0 WJFIND ALL OF


BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer

In a time of year where
-,wishes and dreams seem to
magically come true, several
area sports figures gave their
take on what they'd like to see
happen in 2008.
Having recently received a
state championship gift
'.wrapped by his players,
Jensen Beach volleyball
U coach Mike Sawtelle hoped
everyone touched by the title
'r run would be able to sense its
Si significance.
"I wish the players, coaches
and family members could all
step back and realize that the
success we've had winning
r the state championship is a
,,gift we've been given,"
Sawtelle said.
'All the success the team
has had has come from hard
work, dedication and deter-
,,ination to make the entire
team, school and entire pro-
gram the best it could possi-
S bly be.
S"I wish we continue to do
,the best we possibly can. I
wish we continue to receive
well-rounded student ath-
letes that are educated as well
as athletically gifted.
Sawtelle's desire was not
just for his program, but
school wide as well.
"I wish for continued suc-
cess for Jensen Beach High
School," Sawtelle said. "I've
i seen many schools in the
Treasure Coast area be built.
When a new school is built
there is an influx of the best
players in the area, so there is
.an immediate short-lived
.success.
"The long-term success
we've had (at Jensen Beach)
has amazed me the most. It
started with soccer, basket-
ball then volleyball. We've had
'two state champion
r wrestlers.
"Our athletes are continu-
'ing to grow and continuing to
produce elite programs."
Baseball coach George
''; Young has seen his share of
success as well, having led the
'r! Sebastian River as well as the
.; Indian River Elite American
'w Legion teams to new heights.


This past season, Young's
Elite team which features
the best Indian River County
has to offer came within an
eyelash of a state champi-
onship, losing to Coral
Springs in the title game.
As for the Sharks, Young has
quietly built the program into
one of the state's best,
sparked by a tremendous run
two seasons ago that saw
Sebastian win its first-ever
district title and make it to the
Region 4-5A semifinals.
Young hopes 2008 is no dif-
ferent.
"You're always looking to
win a district title," Young
said. "That's a big goal.
"My biggest wish is to keep
the team healthy and to get
every kid that's a senior this
year onto college. Wins and
losses are important, but see-
ing a young man goes off to
college on a partial or full
scholarship to play baseball is
a big key to our success."
Young also wishes that the
steroid scandal that has
touched Major League Base-
ball will help the stars of
tomorrow understand that
performance-enhancing
drugs are not the answer.
"We try to teach them that
hard work and dedication
always pays off, but it's not
going to happen overnight,
Young said. "In steroids, kids
see an easy avenue to get a lot
faster and stronger.
"Putting a lot of time in, not


putting a needle in your arm
or leg is what pays off."
For first-year Fort Pierce
Westwood girls' basketball
coach Alvin Hamilton, his
wish is indeed a large one.
"A big girl," Hamilton said.
Hamilton's squad,
although successful, is a bit
undersized.
'All are starters are 5-foot-
5," Hamilton said. "At 113
pounds, (Jankendia) Felton is
our heaviest starter."
So far this season, what the
Panthers lack is size, it has
made up with heart and
determination. After winning
just eight games over the past
two seasons, Westwood is 7-7
with two of its recent losses
coming to state powers
Jensen Beach and Sebastian
River.
"I wish for us just to be
competitive," Hamilton said.
"We're doing much better.
We've gotten off to a real good


start.
"Our girls are getting confi-
dent. They know every night
they go on the floor they can
win."
Port St. Lucie Athletic
Director Danny Ninestine has
seen his teams accomplish a
lot during his tenure, most
recently he enjoyed the
Jaguars' run to the baseball
state championship game.
Ninestine's aspirations for
his athletes are lofty ones and
are generally shared by most
coaches and administrators.
"I wish for all our teams to
be successful and to get some
kids into college," Ninestine
said. "For all our teams to play
well and that nobody gets
hurt.
"It really doesn't if someone
gets 100 points in a game or
three touchdowns in game.
What matters is did they get a
good high school education
and get to the next level?"
