Senator: Bill will repair
Everglades, lagoon
BY WARREN KAGARISE
Staff writer
VERO BEACH For
years, while efforts to clean
up the Indian River Lagoon
sputtered in Congress,
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson
carried a Gatorade bottle
filled with St. Lucie River
muck around the Capitol.
By the time Congress
passed a $23 billion water
resources bill last fall, the
brew had faded from a
phosphorescent green to a
dingy brown, the Orlando
Democrat recalled during a
town hall meeting here last
week. All told, lawmakers
authorized more than $3
billion to repair the Ever-
glades and the Indian River
Lagoon.
During a 90-minute
forum at the Indian River
Community College
Mueller Campus, Mr. Nel-
son talked about growing
up along the lagoon in Bre-
vard .County and how
those memories led him to
push for restoration
money.

Entertainer seeks to inspire students
BY BARBARA YORESH
Entertainment writer
He's tall, lanky and pos-
sessed of a handsomely
craggy face that is some-
what Lincolnesque. But
unlike the somber-looking,
old images of our former
16th president, Liv Taylor's
countenance is marked by
broad grins, elastic facial
contortions and a twinkly-
eyed wonder more usually
seen in a youngster than a
57-year-old man.
Last Friday, Mr. Taylor
paid a visit, to Saint
'Edward's School Waxlax
Center for the Performing
Arts for an assembly with;
550 students from the
school's middle and upper
classes.
The younger brother of
pop/folk star James Taylor,
Livingston Taylor is a
superstar in his own right.
Even before he took to the
Waxlax stage for the school
assembly, Mr. Taylor greet-
ed students and walked
into the rows of seats to
speak to and joke with stu-
dents.
Dressed in chino pants,
an argyle vest and a shirt,
which sported a jaunty,
self-tied bow tie, Mr. Taylor
roamed the confines of the
stage and, like a lithe
feline, leapt from the stage
to walk into the audience
to make even closer con-
tact with his already capti-
vated students.
"First let me say how
absolutely delighted I am
to be here with you this
morning," Mr. Taylor said
with a smile.
Continuing, his tone
changed slightly as he can-
didly admitted, "I

with great trepidation. I get

Company fuses science, nature to
provide best water possible
BY KEVIN CROCILLA
For Hometown News
FORT LAUDERDALE -
A Fort Lauderdale-based
company is making it easi-
er and environmentally
safer for consumers to get
the best glass of drinking
water possible. -
Since its inception in
2005, WaterPure Interna-
tional has been using "a
fusion of science and
nature" to produce the
cleanest and purest drink-
ing water available through
what are called atmos-
pheric water generators, or
AWGs.
These AWGs literally
make clean drinking water
out of thin air by harvest-
ing the water out of the
humidity in the earth's
atmosphere.
They closely resemble
water coolers seen in
offices or homes, but elim-
inate the need for replace-
ment and delivery of those
clunky five-gallon water
jugs.
The AWGs operate on
standard 110-volt power in
the U.S., and all that is
needed is a power source.
How it works
The AWG operates on
the fundamental principle
that there is always water
in the air. It is a scientific
fact that there are 102,000
cubic miles of water in the
earth's atmosphere at any
point in time.
First, the AWG draws in
ambient air through an
electrostatic air filter. It
then extracts the water
from the air by a condensa-
tion processes.
The condensed water is
collected in a reservoir and
pumped through a series
of high-technology water
filters designed to.remove
odors, unwanted inorganic
materials, unpleasant
tastes and foreign particle
matter that is smaller than
.01 micron.
Finally, the water is
passed through an ultravi-
olet light chamber, or
ozone generator, where it
is cleansed of any micro-
organisms, including all
forms of bacteria, viruses
and other organic materi-
als. This water is then ready
for consumption from
either hot or chilled cham-
bers. So, consumers can
enjoy tea or coffee of the
highest quality as well as
cold drinking water.
This extensive process of
special filtering assures the
water will not have any
funny tastes or smells and
will be of the purest quali-
ty.
Best of all, the AWG's
computerized control sys-
tem will stop generating
water when full, but will
continue to circulate the

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- Supervisor of Elections
Kay Clem predicts changes
in election laws and voting
equipment during the next
four years and county
voters will need an experi-
enced elections chief to lead
the way, she said last week.
The longtime supervisor
of elections announced hlast
week that she would seek a
fourth, term, setting up a
three-way race for the Aug.
26 Republican primary.
First elected in 1996, Mrs.
Clem, 54, steered the county
through the disputed 2000
presidential election, when
Florida voters faced nation-
al scrutiny, and the two
updates in voting equip-
ment that resulted from the
debacle.
"Truly this is no time to
put somebody in who is
inexperienced," Mrs. Clem
said.

But decades of neglect

Furthermore, swaths of
agricultural land have
replaced the wetlands that
once ringed Lake Okee-

Legislation to aid the ail-
ing lagoon languished in
Washington for seven years.
Mr. Nelson and his Republi-
can counterpart, Florida
Sen. Mel Martinez, champi-
oned the legislation.
In November, President
Bush vetoed the bill, saying
it was packed with political
pork including earmarks
that had little relation to
water resources. Congress
overrode his veto.
During the IRCC visit,
DuaneWeise, aWabasso res-
ident, asked Mr. Nelson
about earmarks, and how to
limit federal spending.
An earmark is a provision
added to legislation that
directs funding to specific

mark unless it happens to

positive examples.

Freddie Rose, a high
school senior, wanted to
know about the effect of the
mounting federal deficit on
the economy.
The next president will
have to raise taxes to pay for

said.
"We're putting the cost of
the war on you," the senator
continued. "It's going to be
the generations that come
that have to pay off the
IOUs, the debt that we're
incurring: with the govern-
ments and the banks in
Japan and China."
Alexandra Grant, a high
school senior, asked the sen-
ator about the future of the
U.S. space program, which
is set to retire the space
shuttle fleet in 2010, five
years before a replacement
will be ready.
Mr. Nelson, a former

Officials detonate four explosive devices
VERO BEACH -After an off-duty Indian River County
Sheriff's deputy reported driving over an explosive
device that detonated beneath her car, authorities deto-
nated four other suspicious devices last week.
The devices, discovered near Fourth Street and 20th
Avenue, were discovered Jan. 6 after the deputy reported
driving over a similar device on 20th Avenue.
When Sheriff's Office and Indian River County Fire
Rescue units arrived at the scene, officials noticed sever-
al devices that resembled packages wrapped in cloth
and electrical tape.
Officials the then requested assistance from the St.
Lucie County Sheriff's Office bomb squad. Specialists
said the packages appeared to be explosives. The bomb
squad subsequently detonated all four devices.
The vehicle that struck the first package appeared
undamaged, according to a Sheriff's Office news release.
Meanwhile, authorities have launched an investiga-
tion to determine the origin of the devices. Deputies
from the Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Unit collected evi-
dence for further investigation.
Weeds must be shorter
under new county rules
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY Spurred by code viola-
tions at a dilapidated Vero Lake Estates house and tall
weeds overtaking a Vero Beach golf course, the County
Commission enacted new grass height rules last week.
Now, property owners must keep grass clipped to 12
inches, instead of the 18-inch height allowed by earlier
regulations. The updated ordinance also extends the law
from single-family homes to multi-family develop-
ments.
Commissioners voted 5-0 for the changes, after hear-
ing complaints from Vero Lake Estates residents, and
after hundreds of Vista Gardens and Vista Royale resi-
dents petitioned for the change.
Commissioner Wesley Davis, whose district includes
Vero Lake Estates, said complaints about tall weeds and
a trash-strewn yard there also helped prompt new regu-
lations.
"It had a washing machine in the middle of the front
yard in hurricane season" a potential hazard in high
winds, Mr. Davis said.

* Wisdom teeth are known as third molars and are the last teeth
to erupt in your mouth between the ages of 17 and 25.
. Complications from improper eruption may result in cysts,
crowding of surrounding teeth, infections and the possibility of
tumors.
SIt is not wise to wait until your wisdom teeth start to bother you.
Very often people are unaware of problems with their wisdom
teeth because they experience few or no symptoms.
To prevent these problems, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
often recommend thdi patients have their wisdom teeth removed
before problems occur, preferably during young adulthood when
teeth roots are small and chances of complications are minimal.
The best way to determine if your teeth are likely to cause prob-
lems is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Colgan.
Dr. Colgan has the surgical training and
experience to perform wisdom tooth surgery
safely with IV anesthesia to make the proce-
dure completely comfortable and stress free.

A preliminary FWC report
indicates 317 manatee
deaths occurred in Florida
waters last year. The total
number of carcasses docu-

falls below the five-year

fellow Republicans Gary
Griffin, a former City ofVero
Beach employee, and Cathy
Hart, the former chief
deputy elections supervisor.
No Democrats have yet filed
candidacy papers for the
post.
Candidates can enter the
race until June 20. If no
Democrat seeks the office,
the Republican primary will
be open to all county voters.
The elections supervisor
oversees a 10-member staff
and a $1.6 million budget.
For that, Mrs. Clem receives
a $98,000 salary, plus $2,000
for state certification.
As a candidate, Mrs. Clem
is relying on the experience
she gained running dozens
of elections without incur-
ring lawsuits or reports of
widespread voting prob-
lems.'
"You don't see a lot of
drama and histrionics com-
ing out of our office," Mrs.
Clem said. "We get the job
done."
During her time as elec-
tions supervisor, county
voter rolls have swelled by
about one-third, to more
than 80,000 voters.
Moreover, the county has
adopted two voting systems

Don't eat the Frog Legs
I will be at the Frog Leg festival, but will not be eating
one of the best friends humans have, frogs.
Especially frogs from a place like China.
Don't want kids handling toys from there; so sure do
not want to eat anything from there.
Can you imagine how many toxins they must have in
them from all the pollution and unregulated poisons?
Not to mention how the "legs" are chopped off while
the creatures are alive and then are left to die in agoniz-
ing pain.
Research and common sense tells us that these crea-
tures suffer. The frog of choice is the Leopard frog, sup-
posedly raised on farms.
This frog is a threatened species in the wild.
I doubt it can be raised on a farm. The real reason
there are no frogs left to eat in Fellsmere, is that they
have been wiped out by over-frogging and toxics.
Years ago, tons of frog legs were shipped out of a frog
factory (it said so in the Press Journal)
Boys proving their manhood still kill them for fun.
How about rethinking this whole deal and just having'
a festival to celebrate our friend the frog.
It would be the "enlightened" thing to do for the envi-
ronment.
Check for Ethanol
For the past three or four weeks, my van was cutting
off, acting sluggish. I did not think of the possibility that
it was because of the gasoline I was buying. A friend told
me to just fill it up the last time it became half empty.
with a supreme gas just to see if my van stopped stalling
out. The Wal-mart gas stations have now added Ethanol
to the gas, so pay attention folks. Maybe that's your
problem too.
Everyone should take responsibility
Civil servants need to stop getting away with crimes
just because of their profession. I was in a car accident
with the son of a fireman. He hit me while I was on my
bike. Someone told me that because he was the son of a
fireman, the police would see it his way and that the
accident was clearly my fault.
Turn it down or turn it off
This is an agreement with the rant about TV back-
ground music so loud that it drowns out the dialog. I
agree. I have a solution change to another channel. If
enough of us do this, then the broadcasters and advertis-
ers will feel it in their wallets. This should get their atten-
tion.
Free ticket home
The United States is ggihg to hell in a handbag; we',
heed someone in office that stops giving away every-U
thing to people that are herb illegally. We pay taxes; they'-
don't. Let's give them something else free, a free ride'
back to their country.
Give Pete Rose a chance
For those who closely follow baseball (I don't), it is sad to,
find those who many look up to going down the wrong path.
Those taking steroids and performance drugs have, given,.
those who are now playing, and those who have made theirp;
mark on the sport, a disadvantage. i (
In Mr. Mitchell's report we find that many more players,
than Barry Bonds are guilty of using drugs to enhance their,;
performance.
What a shame to young athletes, who seem to know more
than the general public, as to what it takes to be successful. :q

Portability: what does it really mean?
Portability going to
cost locar govern-
ments a lot of money."
"Portability is going to
shift a lot of taxes from
homesteaded property to
non-homesteaded property
(business, etc.)."
How can portability cost
governments anything?
Unless you cut spending,
you haven't lost any funding
or cost anyone a dime. So
portability can't cost local
governments money
because it doesn't take
anything away from them.
Portability allows people to
keep what they've rightfully
accrued through Save Our
Homes without losing it if
they decide to move.
What may well cost local
governments money is the
new law (passed last spring,
FS200.065) restricting the
rate of spending increases
by local governments from
year to year.
Florida's new law dictates
that increases in property
tax spending will be limited
to the per capita income
levels of it's citizens each
year (plus new construc-
tion). What may well cost
taxpayers money is the way
funding may be shifted from
property taxes to other
"non-ad valorem" funding
sources. That's not happen-

ToW I.,
rF uay, Janu~ary i
The name's the same
Remember my father
always laying, "Their
.family is not related to
us, they spelltheir name dif-
ferently."
It didn't tate me long after
starting my:esearch to
discover wly my grand-
mother's name was different.
For some season, her father
decided t o change the "e" to
an "i." His brothers kept the
traditional spelling.
Following my father's
instructions, those uncles
would not be related to us
and I would be at an even
higher brick wall.
Until recent generations,
exact spellings of names did
not matter. Words were just
sounds and most people
never had the name written
down. Literacy did not
become widespread until
the late 1800s.
Don't make the common
mistake of getting hung up
on the exact spelling of your
name or you will be hope-
lessly lost in the quagmire of
name changes, mistakes,
mispronunciations and
horrible handwriting.
When lookingfor your
names, either first or last, let
your imagination be your
guide.
Variations in spelling can
vary from person to person,
family groups, generations,
documents, and certainly
depend on tie person trying
to index census records, etc.
Even the simplest name
can, and will, vary in
spelling: Smith, Smithe,
Smit, Smyth, Smythe, Smidt,
* Schmid, Schmit, and on and
on.
You will almost always final
some differences in the
spelling of your ancestors';
name, however, the correa
spelling is not as important
as determining that it is tie
correct ancestor.
If all the other pieces of the
puzzle fit, you are probably
safe to assume it is the
correct person.
Anyone who has tmn-
scribed a documentlas seen
a surname spelled riore
than one way in thesame
BRENDA KNIGHT SMITH
Genealogy
document. This will happen
when a will or deed is written
by a clerk or attorney,
spelling the name the way
they think it is spelled.
The document is then
signed by the person the way
he actually spells his name,
or at least speled it at that
moment. Ormaybe some-
one else signed it for him,
and he justput his X on it.
First nare spellings have
never beel very standard-
ized so n-ost people spell
their name like they choose.
Surnarre spellings vary for
many seasons.
Quite often, illiteracy
madeit necessary for
someone else to do the
writtg. That person may
alsc have had limited writing
skils.
Regional accents and
rispronunciations also
caused spelling differences.
A "B" may be heard as a "P"
or a "V" heard as a "W". As
you've probably noticed,
Southerners say things
somewhat differently than
northerners, which means
that the-spelling would be
completely different if
spelled phonetically.
In fact, when spoken, a
word can be unrecognizable
to someone from a different
part of the country.
Vowels also can become
anything the writer chooses.
An "i" can be an "e", "ie",
"y", "ey", "ee", or maybe he
will just make it an "a".
Consonants also change
or become single or double,
T'l or "ll".
The classic case is my
grandmother's name,
Gillispie, the name her father
changed. The only thing
constant in this name is the
G. The first "I" can also be an
"e" or an "a".
The l's can be single or
double, then another "i", "e",
or "a". The S and P can be
single or double and the
ending can be anything you
want. So I can end up with
Galespee, Gillaspey, Gelisspy,
etc.
Immigration caused more
drastic name changes.
Immigration officers often
wrote difficult foreign names
in a more familiar form,
which sounded English.
Families themselves
changed their names slightly
or entirely, to blend in more
with the society into which
they were living. They
shortened them, added or
dropped consonants, to
make them easier to spell
and pronounce. Some
changed their name to
disguise their nationality.
When reading the census,
you will find the census taker
will spell a given name the
same way, all the way
through his district. That is
the way hehears it and feels
it should be spelled.
On the next census of the

census taker may spell the

one cared, as long as it was
pronounced correctly, and
everyone knew who was
being discussed.
Learn to go with your
instinct when you see a
novel spelling for your

ber, you still must dot all the

prove that it truly is your
ancestor, and not just
someone with the same

Planning for future growth,
board OKs larger schools
BY WARREN KAGARISE
Staff writer
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
- Despite a slowdown in
*housing construction and a
lukewarm real estate market,
the School Board last week
took steps to plan for future
growth, by approving larger
school sizes.
Under the new rules, ele-
mentary schools could be
built to accommodate up to
750 students. Middle schools
could be built for up to 1,250
students. High schools would
be built for up to 3,000 stu-
dents which allows space
for a separate freshman cen-
ter.
Superintendent Harry La
Cava, who supported the
new rules, said the move
would allow the district to
better plan future schools.
"It's not to change our sys-
tem, it's not to create mega-
schools or anything like that,"
the superintendent said dur-
ing the Jan. 8 meeting. "It's
just to be ready and prepared
for an eventual move-in."
A new middle school,
which the board approved
during the same meeting, will
be constructed with a capaci-
ty for 1,250 students.
Previous rules allowed for
550-student elementary
schools, 1,050-student mid-
dle schools and 1,900-stu-
dent high schools.
"Are we saying that these
schools are going to turn into
3,000?" Mr. La Cava said. "Not
now."
In Broward County, where
Mr. La Cava served as a
school administrator for
almost 30 years, inadequate
planning prevented the
school district from keeping
up with rapid growth.

Keil & Krist Interiors
unveils expanded showroom
VERO BEACH Keil &
Krist Interiors needed
more space to show-
case its American-
made sofas, hand-
picked accessories
and exclusive furni-
ture offerings.
In October, the 48-
year-old furniture sell-
er unveiled its new
showroom, which
doubles the size of its
store to 9,100 square
feet. In July, work
began on the new
showroom, which is
located adjacent to
the existing store.
Keil & Krist Interiors
has been located in
Vero Beach since
1977, when founder
Hans W. Keil moved
the operation. from
Cleveland.
Mrs. Keil relies on 35
years of experience to
turn design dreams
into reality. She is also
an accomplished
muralist, and the Keil
& Krist Interiors show-
room is accented with
her handiwork. Her
murals provide a
backdrop for the
store's accessories and
furniture.
Mrs. Keil is a profes-
sional "stager". In the
slow real estate mar-
ket, it helps to have
professional staging to
showcase the best
assets of your home.
Just like in HGTV's
"Designed to Sell", a
well appointed space
will give the home
owner the edge over
other real estate prop-
erties.
Keil & Krist Interiors is
located at 4404 U.S. 1.
It is open from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday
through Friday, 12
p.m. to 4 p.m. on
Saturday and can be

ew topics are as
hard to talk to kids
about as money,
maybe because most of us
aren't confident about the
subject ourselves.
Instead, we avoid topics
such as howmuch we earn,
what food and housing
cost, and our financial
arrangements for the
future. By dodging these
subjects we sei our kids up
to be as financially con-
fused as we are.
Just because we aren't
teaching our kids about
money, doesn't mean they
aren't spending it.
According to a 2007 CBS
News story, kids between 8
and 12 spend $30 bilion of
their own money eveWy
year.
Fortunately, the biggest
influence on how kids
spend is not advertising
friends, or TV program-
ming, it's you.
If you want your children
to be financially responsi-
ble, show them how.
Start with an allowance
An allowance is an
opportunity for your child
to learn about income and
budgeting and a way for
you to get some relief from
their requests for money
and purchases.
Generally, if a child is old
enough to ask you to buy
things, he or she is old
enough for an allowance.
Even preschoolers can
handle small amounts of
money for personal',
purchases.
Now, how much?
Depending on you and
your family's financial
situation, try 50 cents a
week for each year of age
(an 8 year old would
receive $4 a week). Or, give
Sour child.pountA
equal to his or her grade ih
school ($3'a week for a
third grader).
Set a budget
Help your child learn to
manage money by setting a
budget. List all of the
expenses you have
approved and how much
money should go to each,
balancing savings, charity
and gifts with fun items.
Whatever budget you set,
stick to it. Children are less
likely to hold onto their
money if they know you

will help them when they
run out. If your child runs
out of money, use itias an
opportunityto talk about
the consequences of
overspending.
Teach saving
Once they livc with a
budget, kids quickly
discover they don't always
have enough money to buy
what they want when they
want it. Helping taem work
toward bigger purchases
can be a great introduction
to saving.
Start with a piggy bank
cr children's account at
yrur personal bank.;Show
ycur child how to keep
track of deposits and
inttrest by looking attheir
account online. You may
alsowant to help your
children find ways to earn
extramoney to reach their
goals aster.
Practice, practice,
practice
By starting young, kids
have a chance to practice
financial Aills they'll need
as adults. Besides budget-
"-up"'tools su&i as chldkihg
accounts anddebit cards.
Many banksoffer youth or
teen checking accounts that
allow kids to lean how to
pay bills, balance, accounts
and use ATM ant debit cards
wisely all with yotr over-
sight.
With a little helpfrom you,
your kids will develop good
financial habits nov that will
last them a lifetimeA

another county moves into
a home in Volusia County
where the new taxable
value is less than that of the
preceding Volusia occu-
part.
So what's the bottom
line?
Portability may well
create additional taxes, not
fewer taxes as new homes
are constructed and
occupied. Taxable values
on existing homesteaded
properties will not go
down, they will continue to
rise at 3 percent or the
consumer price index,
whichever is less. The real
estate market will be
released from the strangle-
hold of property taxes
keeping people from
moving within the state of
Florida. Additional taxes
will be generated from the
new homes sold to those
people now free to move
without property tax
penalty.
With the already enacted
spending cap in place and
the amendment's value cap
for non-homesteaded
properties, local govern-
ments will not be able to
receive additional revenues
through millage magic
(keeping the rate the same
and claiming to have no
additional revenues).
Portability, simply put,
allows Floridians to be able
to move to new homes. It
has potential for kick-
starting a severely
depressed real estate
market and enabling all
Floridians to safely remain
homeowners in existing or
new homes.It is a positive
move in negative times.

because I'm so darned old
and beat up and you're so
young and beautiful.':
And then he uttered
words that moments later
were proven to be patently
untrue.
"I don't know how to
bridge the gulf between
where you are and (where) I
am," Mr. Taylor said.
Mr. Taylor said that as a
youngster, he did not excel
'at his studies, and at a rather
young age realized that his
career path would likely take
a less conventional route.
"I was a rotten student I
mean a really rotten stu-
dent. I figured I'm going to
have to invent a'different life
for myself," Mr. Taylor said.
At about age 12, Mr. Taylor
began learning to play the
guitar. He admittedly
repeated third grade and did
seek a college career, let
alone a post-graduate
degree, something almost
incredulous to the students
he knew at Harvard where
he was previously artist in
residence.
As a young teen, Mr. Tay-
lor realized he was of a cre-
ative bent and needed to
pursue the path of a per-
former even if the road
would be difficult. And he
urged young students to do
likewise if that is what they
needed to do.
"If it's what you want to do
or are driven to do do it,"
he said.
"To pursue the idea of
being a creator...it allows
you to be a wizard a magi-
cian and it's really, really
fun," he said.
Taking out a Taylor-made
acoustic guitar with a beau-
tifully resonant tone, Mr.
Taylor'expertly picked and
strummed and sang songs
he composed.

dents, as well as faculty and
guests, was rapt.
"My life turned into a
non-stop show and tell," Mr.
Taylor said with mirthful
glee.
As a professor at the
Berklee College of Music in
Boston, Mr. Taylor teaches
young musicians' and
would-be performers the
techniques of performing
and engaging with an audi-
ence.
Mr. Taylor is perhaps the
quintessential example of a
performer who truly "con-
nects" with his listeners.
Mr. Taylor noted that a
career that began in 1970
and which featured a
folk/pop genre may not be
the most, widely, popular
today. But he delights in
winning new converts to his
funky/friendly brand of
musicianship that has its
roots deeply into folk music.
"I particularly love an
audience who doesn't know
me who thinks; "who is
this?
"Then we get the guitar.
And when. you're
onstage...never take your
eyes off the audience," he
said in mock seriousness, all
the while voicing his
thoughts to the crowd: "I
think it's so cool I can play
the guitar."
And play he did. Quietly,
at first. Toe tapping the
rhythm his fingers were
making on that tuneful
instrument. The banter con-
tinued and laughter was
heard throughout the audi-
ence as listeners were treat-
ed not only to highly skilled
playing, but also a stream-
of-consciousness style of
explanation as to what he
does on stage.
"This notion of looking
and finding great
songs...that we need to be
heard and seen they're out
there waiting to be invent-
ed," Mr. Taylor said.
And then the songster said
that "folk music is-the basis
of when I start playing, I do
this sensitive, touchy-feely
stuff," he said to more
laughter as he launched into
his other, intentionally
"cheaper" mode with a ren-
dition of "Railroad Bill"
which depicted an ongoing
conflict between the song's
author/creator and the fic-
tional subject he created.
Switching gears a bit, Mr.
Taylor continued to expertly
play while noting, "I've been
doing this a long, long time
and I've had a dream that
guitar playing might
become an Olympic event."
From there, he launched
into a parody of an Olympic
commentator doing a live
broadcast of a guitar playing
competition. Noting that he
would likely be nosed out by
Carlos Santana for a medal,
Mr. Taylor nonetheless had
fingers sliding up and down
the frets and neck of his gui-
tar in mock "competition,"
while the broadcasterr" gave
a color commentary of the
action.
It was a hilarious bit of
performance and the stu-
dents were mesmerized -
finally breaking into thun-
derous applause at the
event's "dismount" conclu-
sion. Several upper school-
boys seated in the center
front rows raised 10 fingers
to Mr. Taylor as an
"Olympic" score that had
the musician laughing.
Looking'out over his audi-
ence, Mr. Taylqr remarked
that he was sure that most of
them was popular with their
peers, but that perhaps
there were some who felt
somewhat out of that loop.
With overwhelmingly
endearing and self-depre-
cating confession, Mr. Tay-
lor, a successful .and
acclaimed singer/song-
writer/teacher, announced,
"I was geek central. m .still
the same way nqw, of
course, but I don't mind."
For those old enough to
remember or familiar
enough with Mr. Taylor's
earlier life and career, that
reference is, perhaps, a bit-
tersweet hint at parts of his
life when his confidence and
soul were shaken. He has
known pain. And yet...
.What he imparts to those
around him whether in
an hour-long phone conver-
sation or with a crowd of 500
others -is a cheerfulness of
spirit and a warm-hearted
willingness to give to others
through his music and him-
self.
Mr. Taylor 'is a magical
wizard who 'doesn't hide
behind a curtain like his col-
league from Oz'
At the conclusion of the
assembly, Mr. Taylor went
back into the crowvd to speak
to stud'6nts. But not before
asking them a question.
"Can I have lunch with
you guys? We'll have time all
day to hang (together)," he
said.
And hours later at past 4
p.in., Mr. Taylor was still
"hangirig" with his new
friends giving themr per-
forming advice in a master
class not unlike the ofes he
teaches at the Berklef Col-
lege of Music.
The'. "gulf" had been

nomination.
No Democrats have yet
filed candidacy papers for
the post.
Candidates can enter the
race until June 20. If no
Democrat seeks the office,
the Republican primary
will be open to all county
voters.
Mr. Solari, 55, entered the
race in August. During
2007, he raised more than
$32,000, according to cam-
paign finance reports. .
"I have the vision to take
the county where it needs
to go," Mr. Solari said.
A deciding factor in the
2008 match-up could be
the Indian River Neighbor-
hood Association endorse-
ment, which typically pro-
pels candidates to victory.
In 2004, the slow-growth
group endorsed Mrs. Bow-
den, declaring that she
agreed with the "principles
of the IRNA mission and its
controlled growth initia-
tive."
Since then, the group has
criticized Mrs. Bowden for
voting against charter gov-
ernment last year, which
supporters said would help
limit growth.
"We might differ on some
particular issues or strate-
gies, but I'm the same per-
son I've always been," Mrs.
Bowden said.
IRNA President Honey
Minuse said her group was
weighing its options. And
the IRNA could also recruit
a candidate to run in the
race.
"We wapt to be very, very
careful about who we
endorse this year," Mrs.
Minuse said.
In 2008, voters will
decide three County Com-
mission seats and two
School Board seats, and
cast ballots for a clerk of
the court, property
appraiser, sheriff, supervi-
sor of elections and tax col-
lector.
Mrs. Bowden has a politi-
cal track record that
stretches
back 20
years. Now,
as she cam-
paigns for
re-election,
she hopes

e r n m e n t Bowden
roles.
In August 1987, then-Gov.
Bob Martinez appointed
Mrs. Bowden to a School
Board vacancy. Later, she
won election to the seat,
serving from 1988 to 1992.
Four years later, city vot-
ers elected
her to the
Vero Beach
City Coun-
she served
two terms
as mayor
six year
Caroline
District 5 includes south-
ern Orchid Island and part
of mainland Vero Beach.
In November, Mrs. Bow-
den made history when her
colleagues elected her
County Commission chair-
woman. With the appoint-
ment, Mrs. Bowden
became the first person to
lead the commission, lead
the School Board and serve
as a mayor in Indian River
Country.
This year, Mrs. Bowden is
slated to. complete
Advanced County Commis-
sioner training through the
Florida Association of
Counties, a 27-hour course
designed to sharpen lead-
ership skills.
"Experience is called for,"
Mrs. Bowden said.

your doorstep and you've got
to put them somewhere," the
superintendent said. "That
was a hard lesson learned in
that other district."
Board members, who voted
4-1 for.the change, said larger
schools could allow the dis-,
trict to offer a broader cur-
riculum. And the district
could set up "small learning
communities," essentially a
school within a school, on a
large campus.
Moreover, the new rules
allow the district to expand
existing campuses, a less
expensive option than build-
ing new schools.
Board Vice Chairwoman
Carol Johnson supported the
new school capacities, saying
that large high schools could
offer mpre electives and other
curriculum opportunities for
students.
Without the option of
"small learning communi-
ties," board member Ann
Reuter said she would have
Test

ator slad Florida would pro-
vide a better test for candi-
dates than other early-voting
states because of its diverse
demographics and popula-
tion.
"The questions we're going
to ask inrFlorida of these can-
didates are questions that
people are asking in the
country," Mr. Nelson said.
"Florida is not like Iowa, and
it's not like New Hampshire.
Floridais a microcosm of this
country." '
In September, the Democ-
ratic Ipresidential hopefuls
pledged to boycott :Florida
because the state ri6ved uip
its primary. Candidates are
still allowed to raise money
here.
Last year, Mr. Nelson filed a
federal lawsuit against the
Democratic National Com-
mittee after the party
announced it would not seat
Florida delegates at the 2008
national convention. A judge
dismissed the lawsuit last
month.
In Port St. Lucie, Mr. Nelson
defended his decision.
"I had to. stand up against
my, own party, ,I think I'm
going to have the ; last laugh,"
he said.
DaveDew, chairman of the
Martin County Democratic
Party, criticized Republican
state legislators for inserting
the Jan. 29 primary date into
a bill to create paper-trail vot-
ing.
"We had to vote for it
because we needed a paper
trail and we thought a paper
trail was more important
than being ostracized by the
party," Mr. Dew said.
National Democrats also
penalized Michigan, which
scheduled its Democratic pri-
mary forJan. 15.
"They want to win in
November, and can you
imagine not seating two big
states?" Mr. Nelson said.
'Paul Amaru, chairman of
the Indian River County
Democratic Party, said the
national party would count
Florida's delegates Anyway.
"Get out there and vote for
the candidate of your choice,"
Mr. Amaru said. "If you're a
Democrat, your delegates are,
going to be seated."
But Mr. Amaru doubted
that Democratic candidates
would campaign in the Sun-
been skeptical of larger
schools.
"I think it's a'good way to
create a small-school envi-
ronment within a larger
school and stretch the tax-
payer dollars a lot farther,"
she said.
Board Chairwoman Karen
Disney-Brombach also sup-
ported the concept.
"The physical size of the
buildings is less important
.than the implementation of
the programs when you're
talking about having children
in small groups," Mrs. Dis-
ney-Brombach said.
But board member Lenora
Quimbi, who voted against
'the proposal, wanted more
data about student achieve-
ment and discipline at larger
schools.
New school-size rules
could also give the district
flexibility to meet state class-
size requirements.
Statewide, school districts
are facing pressure to meet
shine State.
"You won't see the cam-
paigning here; rallies and tel-
evision commercials," Mr.
Amaru said.
Staff writers Rita Hart and
Donald Rodrigue contributed
to this report.

But if the state sanctions
gambling, it is now said to
be good for our schools, etc.
If enjoyment is gotten by
throwing away expendable
income, have a blast. I'm
not going to stand in you
way. Gambling, however, is
not in'the same league with
drug's that may destroy our
national sport. Not only for
those involved, but kids that
1'ook up to their heroes that
are known drug users.
So what happened? Did
Pete Rose take drugs? No.
He was an inspiration to
those who knew his whole
heart was in the game.
There was a flaw, however.
He gambled on teams he
thought could win. Certain-
ly he was always on the side
of the Reds. If he betted
against his own team, it
would be horrific. It never
happened. His crime was
betting, and not drugs. If
according to Mr. Mitchell,
there is too much of a tan-
gled web to sort out drug
offenders, lets have a closer
look at Pete Rose, whose
crime was betting.
The BBWAA should give
him another shot at the Hall
of Fame.

TRAVEL
Try Peru for a dream vacation in
South America
It is said that every
place on the planet has
something of interest
and Peru is no exception
with its natural, cultural and
human legacies.
You will be amazed by the
sharp contrasts of the
forests and deserts of the
coastal regions; the deep
ravines and snow-capped
mountains of the Andes; the
densely forested slopes and
plains of vegetation of the
Amazon jungle.
Beautiful beaches, deep
caves and some of the
longest rivers on the South
American continent exist in
Peru.
Travel along ancient paths
that wind through the
diverse terrains of Peru.
Take the opportunity to ,
observe endangered species
in their natural habitat. See
vegetation that is used in
modern day medications, as
well as vegetation that is still
used today by the locals for
medicinal purposes.
SPeru's population is filled
with diverse racial back-
grounds. This results in a
multitude of ancient,
creative and colorful folk
art. Travelers can join in
celebrations of music and
dance, and listen to people
relate the history of their
ancestors.
Visit local villages and
farms. See how the people
manage to grow crops in the
highlands, jungles and
coastal regions.

After a visit to Lima, travel
to Cusco in the ancient
sacred valley of the Incas
that dates to the 15th
century. It will leave you in
awe. Cusco is known as the
archaeological capital of the
Americas.
In 1983, the United
Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural
Organization declared
Cuzco a World Heritage site.
Machu Picchu, 74 miles
north of Cuzco, is known by
many as a mystical place
that exudes vital energy. It is
also known as the Lost City
of the Incas.
Located 70 miles north of
Cusco, it is accessible by
rail, then bus to the ancient
site. It takes about four
hours to travel there from
Cusco. The site is 7,872 feet
above sea level. In 1983

Picchu a World Cultural and
Natural Heritage site.
Lake Titicaca, the world's
highest navigable lake, is at
an altitude of 12,500 feet. It
is 10 hours by train ride
from Cuzco. A visit to the
lake would be an archaeolo-
gist's or environmentalist's
dream come true. It's also a
great experience for bird
watchers.
Now if your love of travel
is linked to your stomach,
you'll be happy to hear
Peru's cuisine will delight
the most demanding palate.
Peru is known to have the
best seasonings and spices
in the Americas.
Because of the diverse
nationalities, European,
African, Asian and, of
course, native Peruvian,
many dishes have been
created with this unique
blend in mind. The food is
also a part of its folklore.
When you complete your
gastronomical delight savor
a glass of Pisco, a white
grape brandy distilled from
fresh local grapes or try a
Pisco sour, the country's
signature cocktail.
We recommend an
escorted tour when visiting
Peru. With such a vast area
and much diversity, travel-
ing with the specialists will
transform your dream to
reality.

source from which drinking
water comes. All the con-
sumer really has to go on is
what the label says. And it
seems that all bottled Water
available in stores always
comes from the purest and
cleanest natural springs. A
consumer drinking Water-
Pure can always be sure of
where the water is coming
from: right out of the air
they are breathing. No more
worrying, about ,the water
source, or if it's contaminat-
ed.
When bottled water sits,
chemicals migrate from
plastic during storage. It's
important to make sure bot-
tled water hasn't been sitting
around. Also, the difficult
task of loading, carrying and
storing jugs is. eliminated.
No more heavy lifting and
no more huge spills all over
the floor.
Lastly, WaterPure's meth-
ods are gfar cheaper than
buying water from a store or
having it delivered. Water
delivered to homes in five-
gallon jugs cost $1.25 to
$1.75 per gallon and bottled
water bought in stores
works out to between $2.25
to $3. On the average, a gal-
lon of WaterPure water costs
about 10 cents to produce.
"The response has been
great and I think the indus-
try is going to be huge," said
Brian Lee Allen, WaterPure
International chief opera-
tions officer.
Using a digital water puri-
ty tester, water from a water
fountain and three leading
brands of bottled water were
put up against water poured
from anAWG.
The digital purity tester
measures the total dissolved
solids in the water. It is
designed to identify the
existence of most metals,
minerals and inorganic ele-
ments in the water. Many of

these substances have
known and potential health
risks, so the lower the num-
ber, the better. The reading
is expressed in total dis-
solved solids in parts per
million.
The results from the test
were very telling:
The drinking water from
WaterPure International's
AWG recorded 3 ppm.
The first leading bottled
brand recorded 56 ppm.
The next leading bottled
brand recorded 239 ppm
The water from the
drinking fountain recorded
a 350 ppm.
The last leading bottled
brand recorded a 377 ppm.
WaterPure International's
3 ppm. purity rating is 99.9
percent. This far exceeds the
EPA's purity requirements
for human consumption of
drinking water, which is a
maximum contamination
level of 500 ppm. This
includes well water, but
some tap water has been
known to ,reach 400 ppm.
Well water has estimates of
100 ppm.
Perhaps the best thing
about WaterPure Interna-
tional is its color: "green
concept."' Of course the
water is clear, but the com-
pany has a philosophy that's
very "green," as in environ-
mentally safe.
The AWGs eliminate the
need for water delivery
trucks that pump out pollu-
tion into the air. They also
eliminate the constant need
to recycle. According to
WaterPure's Web site, on
average, 38 billion water
bottles are thrown into land-
fills per year.
With so many environ-
mental problems in the
world today, water is at the
top of the list when it comes
to crises. While the majority
of people in the U.S. have an
adequate supply of drinking
water, there are many other
parts of the world where
people aren't so lucky.
According to WaterPure
International's Web site,
more than 2 billion people
on earth do not have a safe
supply of water and less
than 1 percent of the water
supply on earth can be used
for drinking water. Close to
half of all the people in
developing countries are
suffering from health prob-
lems caused by water and
sanitation deficits. This is
because their water is col-
lected from distant, often
polluted sources.
In hot, humid places such
as Africa, AWGs could be a
major step in the right direc-
tion as far as providing safe,
clean drinking water for,
struggling citizens.
Water is a human being's
most vital need. If anything
happens to the water sup-
ply, there is potential for
widespread panic.
In the case of a hurricane
or other natural disaster,
where the water supply can
potentially be contaminat-
ed, people immediately run
out to stores to stock up on
bottled water, which even-
tually runs out. The need to
boil water every time it's
used is tiring.
Even in today's political
climate, a terrorist attack ont
public water supplies is
possible.
WaterPure International
is moving forward to elimi-
nate these risks by provid-
ink healthy, clean and envi-
ronmentally friendly
drinking water right out of
thin air. WaterPure's
research and development
team is now expanding on
the design and develop-
ment of commercial and
industrial applications to
help support the water
infrastructure (; t#Ai ap

The one-hour orientation
will explain the opportuni-
ties for involvement in 4-H,
how it relates to the Univer-

Individuals who choose to
start their own 4-H club will
receive special training and
guidance from University of

Be careful when training vine plants
very week, I get tons
of e-mails giving me
topics to include in
my column.
One that I have received
in several e-mails on is the
care of plants that are used
as vines.
First, let me emphasize
that if you train your plants
to grow directly on your
house or fence, the plant
will damage your wood.
Since wood is a porous
material, the small roots of
the plants dig into the
pores. This allows moisture
to enter the tiny holes. In
addition, the plant itself
produces moisture and
consequently the wood
never has a chance to dry
out. The end result will be

damage wood siding or
fencing.
If you use pressure treated
wood, the process will take
a lot longer than on un-
treated wood.
The best way to present
your trailing plants is to
build or buy a ready-made
trellis or other suitable
structure for the plant to
climb on. If you choose to
do it yourself, a simple
trellis can be made from
wood strips attached
together with braids or
small screws. You can then
either paint your project or
even use a conventional red
wood stain for a real classy
look.
Once you've built a
structure and know where
you want to put the plants,
you need to decide what
plants to use. There are
many varieties to choose
from, but I am going to
mention some of my
favorites first.
Mandevilla
Mandevilla vines are a
great, colorful choice for a
garden and they make a
great backdrop if you are
using them to grow up a
fence or arbor.
Mandevilla plants grow
best if they have partial

sunshine or filtered sun
through the branches of a
tree. They thrive best in a
rich, well-drained soil with
organic substances, such as
manure, added to the
mixture.
You can increase the
bushiness of the plant by
pinching back some of the
new growth as the plant
begins to climb.
One of the biggest
problems you may
encounter with a Mandevil-
la is aphids.
Aphids are microscopic
insects that tend to cluster
around the flowers and also
on the new growth. They do
their damage when they
suck the juices out of the
plant and the plant starts to

starve for nutrients.
These pests can be
controlled by using a
systemic insecticide, such
as Orthene or Orthenex.
Mandevilla do not
tolerate severe cold and
need to be protected or
covered if temperatures fall
below 45 degrees.
Passion flowers
Passion flowers are
another colorful choice for
use on a trellis.
These plants are fairly
easy to grow and will do well
in partial or full sun. They
will do best in well-drained
soil, but they should not be
allowed to get too dry, as the
leaves will begin to turn
brown at the tips. The plant
produces a small oval berry
that can be eaten, but is
extremely seedy. The fruit is
often used to make jelly. The
plant is also an excellent
butterfly attractant.
Passion flowers can also
be successfully grown in
containers. Container
plants should not be put in
direct sun, but rather, have a
filtered light source.
Morning Glories
Another plant that I have
personally experimented
with are Morning Glories.
Although these plants will
probably not be readily
available, you can easily
plant them from seed.
Since these plants do not
like to be transplanted, you
should sow the seeds where
you are going to perma-
nently keep the plants.
Prior to planting, you
should soak the seeds
overnight in room- temper-
ature water in order to
soften the hulls and get a
better rate of germination.
You can plant the seeds in
partial to full sun, but they
should be in well-drained
soil in order to induce good
flower production.
'.sas 6ibW I n annual
and that although the
original plants will get
"tired," new plants will be
generated from the seeds of
the old flowers as time goes
on.
One feature of these
plants is that they grow very
fast and although mine did
not flower profusely, the
flowers I did get were well
worth the wait.

a treat of stellar proportions,
awesome view, great music,
fun and upbeat wait staff,
never a dull moment. If you
cannot enjoy yourself at this
establishment, I suggest you
check yourself for a pulse.
To find your self with
nothing to do at Captain
Hiram's is virtually impossi-
i ble, for they offer so many
things. Such as the River-
boat Queen that does three
ecological tours a day, off-
shore and river charter fish-
ing, Sebastian Watercraft
Rentals are located right on
the premises. So, after a
great meal, you can jump
on board a pontoon boat or
Jet Ski and enjoy a day out
on our beautiful Indian
River.
And if you're into high
caliber music entertain-
ment, let me tell you, you
cannot get a much better
line up than at Hiram's.
They have brought in such
big names as Dickey Betts
from the Almond Brothers,
LifeHouse, and Pat Travers.
Along with some of the best
bands to stroll through
Florida. A night out on the
Sand Bar with live music
seven days a week cannot
be topped anywhere else on
the Treasure Coast. Not to
mention if you find yourself
with out a sitter one Satur-
day evening, they welcome
children to enjoy the enter-
tainment and dance the
night away. A great experi-
ence for all ages.

Entertainer brings magic to stage
BY BARBARA YORESH
Entertainment writer
Okay, let me state right
up front that despite being
a happily married newly-
wed, I have fallen in love
with another man. And I'm
not going to keep this
untimely indiscretion a
secret either.
I love Livingston Taylor.
Who wouldn't?
I really couldn't help
myself. I adore my new
husband he's the love of
my life. But after spending
an incredible hour on the
phone with Mr. Taylor, fol-
lowed by two successive
days of watching him per-
form and meeting him in
person, I knew I was a
goner.
But it would seem that
I'm going to have to
"share" him with lots of
others because I heard the

supposed that I would be
granted perhaps 10 to 15

We spoke about music,
life, politics and every-
thing under the sun for an
hour and finally I told him
that I knew he was busy
and perhaps we should say
goodbye.
It was one of the most
intellectually stimulating
and enjoyable conversa-
tions I've ever had. But
more than that, it was just
plain fun as I became
aware of the awesome
depth to and breadth of
this fine performer.
Last week Mr. Taylor
spent two days at Saint

Mr. Monroe, of Daytona
Beach Community college,
is a writer, photographer
and lecturer whose subjects
have also included the old
world culture of Miami's
South. Beach, lifestyles and
rituals of the Haitian people
and Disney World. He is also
the author of "The High-
waymen: Florida's African-
American Landscape
Painters" (University Press
of Florida, 2001 An uncom-
monly articulate and pleas-
ant man, Mr. Monroe
enthusiastically discussed
his Highwaymen subjects
during a recent phone inter-
view.
"It's a phenomenon and
no one expected it to have
become what it became.
The style (of the paintings)
rings true with nostalgia. It's
what we miss of Florida that
is primal and personal," Mr.
Monroe said.
Although the peaceful
scenes the Highwaymen
painted seemed to be actual
representations of specific
locales, the artists did not
paint outdoors, for the most
part, Mr. Monroe said.
"These paintings by and
large were not site'specific.
They were not done "plein-
air," Mr. Monroe explained.
"They are all generic paint-
ings and came out of their
heads."
Mr. Monroe further noted
that the artists arrived at an
almost generic or "archetyp-
ical" scene and "they simply
painted them fast."
Mary Ann Carroll, the
only female of the artistic
group, concurs.
"I had a photographic
memory. I'd see things and
remember them in detail.
I'd do the basic layout the
scene itself came second to
it and I'd add detail. I just
paint from my mind," Ms.
Carroll explained.
She explained that her
artistic bent became evi-
dent in her youth, a gift, she
said, that "is a blessing from
God."
"I was gifted that way all
my life. As a kid I would
sketch and draw," she said.
The Highwaymen were
inspired, in part, by Mr.
Backus, a well-known Fort
Pierce landscape painter
who gave art lessons to
Highwayman founding
member Alfred Hair.
The Highwaymen works
differed from those more
classically rendered paint-
ings of Mr. Backus in that
they developed a somewhat
"hybrid" form of painting
that romanticized the Flori-
da landscape.
Scenes proliferated with
palms, wetlands, ales,
rivers, sunny skies, shore
vistas and royal poinciana
trees.
Although encouraged by
Mr. Backus, the artists were
restricted in their ability to
market their works in gal-
leries. Long-held racial
boundaries still existed in
the south during those pre-
civil rights days. And so, out
of necessity, the artists
become "vagabonds" and
took to the roadways and
streets of Florida's east coast
to sell their paintings.
"Beanie Backus was a
wonderful man, but back
then, black art was not a
part of his gallery. We were
not "fit' for the gallery not
elite enough," Ms. Carroll
said of that racially difficult
era.
Their artistic expression
and ability to sell works was
a preferable alternative to
work in the citrus groves
and packing houses, which
were paWfth~ir expected
social roles. .
Working amazingly fast
and prolifically, the High-
waymen often produced 10
or more paintings a week,
working in oils on upson
board and other inexpen-
sive materials and then
framed in crown molding
and carpenter's trim as
much to keep the still-wet
paintings from smearing
each other as they were
stacked one on top of the
other in the back of their
cars. It is estimated that the
26 recognized Highwaymen
artists produced approxi-
mately 100,000 paintings
from the 1950s to 1980s.
The images have been
considered folk art and
"outsider' art. But certainly
the Highwaymen paintings
are a unique depiction of
Florida contemporary art.
Mr. Monroe said that the
works "involved the viewer
in a way fine art does not."
He explained that in the
mind of the viewers, the
scenes depicted might very
well have been that little
turn in the river or creek
where they used to fish and
therefore evoked a great
deal of empathetic connec-
tion.
"It's like they discovered
Eden and it's amazing how
the paintings beckon peo-
ple," Mr. Monroe said.
Among the most highly
regarded Highwayman
artists, Mr. Newton was
"always the favorite," Mr.
Monroe said.
"He never had a lesson,
but he was a genius in his
ability and he was a happy
guy. He painted with
incredible skill, overpower-
ing skill."
Ms. Carroll said Mr. New-
ton was "the first person I
evbs) 'pafiing" in tlre
sd<, 50s .... i
"Harold was doing it all
his life it's all he ever did.
Some of the others were
orange pickers and stuff like
that," Ms. Carroll said.
She began to paint and
"went door-to-door and
into buildings to sell my art.
I never set out at the side of
the road like the guys did.",

Mr. Monroe notes that
the Highwaymen wanted
to be artists and had natu-
ral ability. However, their
desire to elevate them-
selves from poverty was
even greater than their
need for artistic expres-
sion.
"These artists had an
inkling to be artists and a
natural talent but the over-
riding desire was to make
money. They priced their
art right at aabout $25 for a
2 by 3-foot painting and
that was a lot of money in
the 1960s," Mr. Monroe
said.
The group painted and
sold their works until the
early 1980s when changing
art styles found greater
favor.
"They (the Highway-
men) went dormant in
1982 or '83 after two
decades of going strong.
People started seeing them
as remnants from the
1960s and began to see it
as cheap or motel art," Mr.
Monroe explained. "There
was a cultural shift and
changing tastes in Florida
with lots of condos sprout-
ing up and a new sensibili-
ty. These painters were
now passe."
But something hap-
pened.
The paintings, bought
cheaply and hung or
stored in homes through-
out the Treasure Coast
area, began to appear at
yard sales and attract
attention from a new gen-
eration of art lovers. Those
who lived in Florida found

the paintings to be partic-
ularly reminiscent of earli-
er landscapes, which gave
way to development. The
bucolic scenes stirred feel-
ings of nostalgia and long-
ing. And people bought
them again.
"They attracted atten-
tion and the prices kept
escalating," Mr. Monroe
said.
In 1995, Mr. Fitch
dubbed the group "The
Highwaymen" and Mr.
Monroe began to write
about the artists and their
works.
The genre became
known on an international
rather than just regional
basis through Monroe's
books as well as Internet
sites including eBay, where
the paintings began to
attract attention and
prices into the thousands.
"There was an aesthetic
merit to the art," Mr. Mon-
roe said. "They had
stopped painting in the
1980s but then they started
painting again."
Ms. Carroll has for years
been acclaimed for .her
work as the only female
painter of the group, and
yet almost 50 years later,
still expresses wonder-
ment at the popularity of
Highwayman art.
"I never knew it would
become this interesting. It
has been like a dream to
me," Ms. Carroll said when
asked about her feelings
regarding today's interest
in Highwayman art.
She quickly credits both
Mr. Fitch and Mr. Monroe
for bringing renewed
interest to the art, which
also led to prices that easi-
ly reach four figures.

"If not for Jim Fitch and

now," she said in apprecia-

In 2000, 26 artists were
identified as Highwaymen.
And in 2004, they were
inducted into the Florida
Artists hall of Fame.
Of the 26, nine are con-
sidered "original" or earli-
est Highwaymen and they
include Mr. Newton, Alfred
Hair, Roy McLendon,
James Gibson, Livingston
Roberts, Ms. Carroll, Sam
Newton, Willie Daniels and
Al Black.
A celebration of the art
and its artists will be held
at the 10th Annual High-
waymen Festival Jan. 12
and 13 in Ft. Pierce at the
A.E. Backus Museum &
Gallery at 500 N. Indian

original highwayman, will

Scenically located at the
intersection of U.S. 1 and
CR 512 (Sebastian
Avenue), the festival fea-
turing art and music,
returns after a one- year
hiatus.
According to Lisanne
Monier, director and presi-
dent of the festival's non-
profit organization, the
event began eight years
ago to commemorate the
City of Sebastian's 75th
anniversary of incorpora-
tion.
"It started as a music fes-
tival and \'vas so well-
received that we decided
to continue. The Chamber
of Commerce took it under
its wing and we have now
formed a not-for-profit
organization," Ms. Monier

said.
Approximately 15,000 to
20,000 people are expected
to attend this year's event,
she said.
Aside from the obvious
entertainment value of the
festival, organizers say the
goal is to foster cultural
enhancement, education
and scholarship programs
with a future project of art
in public places.
"We don't have an indoor
facility for these purposes
but we can use the park
and riverfront," Ms.
Monier said.
At press time, 95 profes-
sional artists were signed
up to exhibit at the festival
with a waiting list of more
wishing to participate.
"This is an upscale,

juried and professional
event of artists who have
been doing shows for
years. But we are also fea-
turing emerging, local
artists trying to get estab-
lished," Ms. Monier said.
Artists working in a mul-
titude of mediums will
exhibit their wares, which
will range in price from
"affordable to high-end
collector pieces. This is a
professional level show,"
Ms. Monier said.
A former City of Sebast-
ian Councilwoman, Ms.
Monier is a professional
artist working in hand-
made papers and copper
and will be one of, the
exhibitors. She owns the
Old Opera House Gallery
in Sebastian.
Festivalgoers will have
plenty of art on which to
feast their eyes, but their
other senses of hearing
and ,taste will also ,have
much to celebrate.
According to Ms. Monier,
Capt. Hiram's resort is
sponsoring the music por-
tion of the festival. Orn Sat-
urday. Jan. 26 Kevin Lureau
and Will Collins will per-
form at tribute to the late
Pete Harris from 10 a.m. to
noon.
From noon to 4 p.m.,
Orlando-based band Sev-
enth Fold will take to the
stage performing classic
rock and other tunes.
Sunday's entertainment
line-up features The
Serenoa String Quartet
from 10 a.m. to noon fol-
lowed from noon to 4 p.m.
with Everyday Things.
Getting hungry yet?
Festivalgoers should get
set for a real treat. The
Sebastian Clambake Foun-
dation and its members
will offer steamers and
chowder in what Ms.
Monier termed "an appe-
tizer to bring the clambake
back."
Other food and an
assortment of beverages
and desserts will be avail-
able.
Sponsors of this year's
event include: the city of
Sebastian; The Sebastian
River Area chamber of
Commerce; the Old, Opera
House Gallery; Capt.
Hiram's; Waste Manage-
ment; Indian River Nation-
al Bank; Sebastian Insur-
ance; Chris O'Rourke,
C.P.A. and Dill & Evens, P.L.
"This show will be sym-
bolic of moving forward
and doing good things for
the community," Ms.
Monier said. "communities
are built on concrete,
they're built on people.
And events are the best
way of bringing people
together."

Monier at (772) 581-2626.

other, often all we needed
to do was look into each
other's evys to know. There
was.a collective conscious-
neiss that we shared 'and
which erased our status as
strangers to each other.
Meeting Mr. Taylor is to
go back to those days and
that now lost spirit of con-
nectedness and goodwill.
But returning to his
momentous encore: Mr.
Taylor b; egan with ".the
lovers, the dreamers and
me" of the "Rainbow Con-
nection," and ended with a
more well-known praise to
that arched color spec-
trum in the sky.
It is always dicey to do a
cover of a classic made
timeless by another, iconic
artist, but Mr. Taylor quietly
and sweetly sang*"Some-:
where Over the Rainbow"
in a personalized version'
that would easily stand
alongside the masterful'
rendition done by Judy Gar-'
land almost 70 years ago.
SMr. Taylor's awesome
phrasing and beautifully"
picked and played chords:
evoked a deep yearning in
his listeners to fly like those
"happy, little bluebirds",
beyond the rainbow.

our turn to sing, our turn

He ended his concert to
rousing applause.
But it was not over, and
those who quickly left
missed what was easily the
evening's most beautiful
moment.
I will tell you now that
following the concert, he
stayed and greeted fans
and signed autographs. I
got to speak to him for the

I will also tell you that
Mr. Taylor looks you
square in the eye when he
speaks to you and that in

"important" people who
often greet you while
already looking past you to
someone else more presti-

Try making some elegant desserts for special occasions
Although you know
it's important to
develop good eating
habits, you also know the
year will have many spe-
cial occasions calling for
special desserts.
I gave you today's recipe
awhile ago, and I recom-
mended using packaged
chocolate mousse mix
since the original recipe
was made with six raw egg
yolks, a no-no today.
I have since found a
recipe for chocolate
mousse that will take you
to chocolate heaven.
Remember this is a special
occasion dessert and in no
way low-fat.
Also, cream puffs are an
easy and elegant dessert
and since cream-puff
chocolate mountain is
made with a cream-puff
paste you must have that
recipe also.
See you next week.
CREAM PUFFS
OR ECLAIRS
The most elegant of
desserts, cream puffs are
easy to make. There is no
way to make them low fat,
but the filling choice can
make a difference.
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup boiling water
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
Boil water in a medium
saucepan. Add butter; stir
to melt. Add flour, salt and
sugar all at once. Cook,
stirring vigorously, until
mixture is smooth and
forms a soft ball that does
not separate.
Remove from heat. Cool
for 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally; if the mix-
ture is too hot it will cook
the eggs. Add eggs one at a
time, beating well after
each addition until
mixture is smooth.
For cream puffs: Drop
spoonfuls of batter onto
greased cookie sheet. For
6clairs: Use a pastry bag to

Bake in a very hot oven
(425-450 degrees) for 15
minutes. Lower oven
temperature to 325-
degrees and continue
baking for 25 minutes
longer. Makes about 12
cream puffs or 18 6clairs.
Fill with pudding,
whipped topping or
whipped cream. Top with
chocolate glaze if you
choose. Note: Double the
recipe for chocolate glaze.
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
1/2 tablespoon butter
3-1/2 tablespoons cocoa
powder
1/2 cup sifted
confectioner's sugar
Dash of salt
2-1/2 tablespoons hot
milk
Melt butter. Sift dry
ingredients together and,
using an electric mixer,
mix with butter and milk.
At first, mixture will be
stiff.
Do not add any more
milk until blended thor-
oughly.
Add more milk only if
mixture is too stiff. A glaze
must be a little thinner
than a frosting but not so
thin that it lands on the
plate.
WHIPPED CREAM
Whipped cream is
extremely tricky to whip it
just right before it turns to
butter.
1 pint (2 cups) heavy
whipping cream
2 tablespoons or more
confectioner's sugar
Use a high narrow bowl.
Chill bowl and beaters if
possible.
Using an electric mixer,
beat cream at high speed
until frothy. Add sugar and
continue beating, watch-
ing the cream very careful-
ly. It will start to thicken.
Continue beating, scrap-
ing bowl occasionally. The
cream is whipped when it
starts to have a slight
"break-up" look. (Over-
beating by just a few
seconds will suddenly turn
the cream to butter. It will
become a mass with water
around it).

transforming questions. We
have to aim at something.
Without a goal, we
wander through the
Wilderness of life, usually
lost, angry, sad, empty and
afraid. We have to have a
plan and we have to be
working the plan if we want
a healthy, abundant and
successful life. Do some-
thing great with your life.
An old spiritual saying
goes, "Without a dream the
people perish."
Don't be just a joy rider in
life. It takes more energy to
Sb in circles than to move
forward. Are you going in
circles? Are you feeling
stuck or sidetracked?
There is a far greater way
to live. Identify your
mission in life. Write it
down and then ask the
spirit out loud to bring it to
you. It wants to say, "I was
born to do this. It is my
mission. Nothing can keep
me from my dream."
Say this out loud every
day. Aim high. Go above
and beyond. Push your
limits. Turn your life into an
art form of beauty and
grace. You can do it. It's
inside right now yearning
to be set free. It's your
dream, your mission and
your destiny.
Then when the universe
is blessing you, take care of
your own and family needs
first. Then give back to your
spirit guides. Help those
who have inspired you so
they can continue. You are
now the light. When others
see it pass the torch of
freedom and truth to them
so the next generation can
continue life at it's fullest.
This is a fantastic life well
lived. You wanted a better
life. You deserved it. Now
you have it. The sweetest
news is the best is yet to
come.

Area girls' hoops teams bid for state title
SDorts Briefs
BY JOHN MACDONALD
Sports writer
' While voters in New
Hampshire were showing
that the presidential selec-
tion process is far from
ever, two area girls' basket-
ball teams proved that
.who's leading in the polls
doesn't always come out
on top.
Last season, with the
Treasure Lake Conference
championship on the line,
Jensen Beach smoked Fort
Pierce Central 68-37 on its
way to a state champi-
onship.
On Jan. 8, the Cobras
traveled to Jensen Beach
trying to improve on its
stellar 15-3 record. The
Falcons came in with an
equally impressive mark at
13-3, but had ,lost its last
game to West Boca Raton
40-37 in overtime in the
championship of the Bill
Munsey Holiday Classic.
In a back-and-forth
affair, Central took a six-
point lead with a minute
remaining in the game,
only to see Jensen Beach
storm back to nearly tie
the score.
* With two seconds left in
regulation and the Falcons
down by two, Taylor
Brownloe had a chance to
send the game into over-
time with a pair of free
throws, but missed one
and the Cobras came away
with a 41-40 road win.
"They did a number on
us last year," Fort Pierce
Central head coach Katie
Clive said. "It' s never easy
going to play Jensen
Beach.
"They made some
adjustments defensively.
We got into foul trouble.
We played out of our ele-
ment.
"It came down to the
final seconds.
"It feels really good. We
have a young team. Some-
thing like this helpssolidi-
fy where we're going.""
Terrice Robinson led the
Cobras with 13 points.
"She started last year as
a freshman," Clive said.
"She had some great
games. I put a lot on her
shoulders and she exceed-
ed my expectations.
"I've put a lot on her this
year. I will go as far as say-
ing she's the best point
guard in the area."
On the same night, Vero
Beach took on county rival
Sebastian River. Like the
case was with Central and
Jensen Beach, the Sharks
handled the Indians quite
easily a year ago, winning
67-30.
The game was indicative
of how the two teams' sea-
sons went as Vero Beach
struggled to an 11-16 mark
while Sebastian finished at
26-3, making it to the sec-
ond round of the regional
playoffs.
The 2007-08 version of
Vero Beach has been
wholeheartedly different
than the previous 'models.

had several of his players
suit up over the summer
with the Indian River War-
riors USSSA team, and so
far the extra sessions on
the court has proved to be
a difference maker.
"Some played 30 games
over the summer," Morgan
said. "It showed that if you
can put good time in, you
can get great things out.
"Our off season play was
tremendous. I think it's
been the defining factor."
In this season's contest,
Vero Beach was the benefi-
ciary of two outstanding
performances by Carrie
Orcutt and Tia Brown to
help the Indians run to a
55-45 win over the Sharks.
Orcutt had 25 points to
go along with five
rebounds and five steals
while Brown recorded a
double-double of 10
points and 10 rebounds to
lead the way.
"It was a good win," Mor-
gan said. "It was a long
time coming.
"It's nice for our seniors
to go out with a win over
Sebastian.
"I've been dedicated to
try to change the program
at Vero. I think it's finally
catching on."
The Indians followed up
its. impressive win with
another victory, this time
over St. Lucie West Centen-
nial. Orcutt again paced
Vero Beach with 22 points
and five steals, while Ursu-
la Brown chipped in 10
points to move the Indians
to 15-7 on the season.
"After such an emotional
win, I wondered' if the
team would come out
drained," Morgan said.
"We started off slow, but
responded in the end."
While Jensen Beach and
Sebastian 'River came up
short in their attempts at a
win, both teams still have
playoff aspirations. The
Falcons were the Class 4A
state champions a year ago

and started out this season
11-0.
However, the team has
tapered off recently, going
2-4 in its last six games.
The team has struggled at
the free throw line all sea-
son, and it was exemplified
in its loss against Central.
The Falcons went 7-6f-
18, costing the team the
win and ruining a stellar
performance by Brett Ben-
zio who led the way with
22 points and 12 rebounds.
"It was a hard loss," Ben-
zio said. "We exchanged
leads. It was a game of
runs.
"We almost came back in
the end to send it into
overtime, but we didn't."
Benzio said there are
several reasons for the Fal-
cons' woes including
the time needed to adjust
to the coaching style of Joe
Sanchez.
"The whole team
dynamic changed," Benzio
said. "It's hard to lose play-
ers and add a new coach
on top of that.
"We play a different type
of game. We got very used
to (former) coach I(uliuc-
ci)'s style. We don't know
the coach as well. It takes
time.
"Last year, we could run
a fast paced game or a slow
paced game. We could
control the tempo.
"This year, we don't have
the multiple threats we did
last year."
Despite the setbacks,
Benzio is hoping her sen-
ior season will have the
same conclusion it did a
year ago.
"It was a great moment,"
Benzio said. "It was great
to go out on a win, but it
stinks to see the end of the
season.
"It was the greatest feel-
ing you can ever have as an
athlete."
While the Sharks have
yet to experience the thrill
of being the last one stand-
ing, the team has come
close. In 2005-06, Sebast-
ian started off slow at 3-2,
but then proceeded to win
its next 20 games.,
Included in that streak
was the Sharks' run
-through the district tour-
nament, which was
capped by Sebastian's 47-
34 win over Bayside to cap-
ture its first-ever title. The,
team dispatched Boynton
Beach in the Region 4-5A
quarterfinal before losing
to Naples-Barron Collier in
the semifinal.
Last season, the Sharks
didn't skip a beat, march-
ing to a 26-3 season,
including its second-con-
secutive district crown.
The team followed a simi-
lar path in the postseason,
defeating Boynton, Beach
before succumbing once
again to'BafroWomI ft .

ing scorer Katie Carr.
"Katie was a real vocal
leader as was Britney John-
son and Melissa Martinel-
li," Amy said, "Before if the
girls needed someone to
talk to outside of. the
coaches, they could go to
these girls.
"Now, we're looking to
girls who haven't done it
before."
Overall, Amy' new
regime has responded
well, as its 14-5 record
would attest. In the loss to
Vero, Brittney Williams led
the way with 19 points,
and Jade Cargill added 12
points, six rebounds and
four steals.
"It's different," Amy said.
"We lost four girls that
were on varsity since they
were freshmen.
"But I knew we had girls
that were on varsity for the
last two years that could

PGA Merchandise
Show to unveil latest
gadgets, more
The moment that we
golf writers wait for all
yearlong is finally
upon us.
Yes, I know it's only the
second week of January, but
I've been waiting for this
since January 2007.
While you're enjoying that
steaming cup of Joe this
morning, I am off in
Orlando toiling away at the'
2008 PGA Merchandise
Show.
As you relax in the
comfort of your home, or
the 19th hole after a pleas-
ant round, I am working.
I'm marching up and
down aisles of golf equip-
ment, accessories, balls,
apparel and much, much
more. I'm hitting and
testing all kinds of clubs and
teaching aides in a tiring
effort to find the best of
these items and report my
findings to you.
The show takes up every
square inch of the Orange
County Convention Center's
one-million-plus square
feet of floor space. More
than 10 miles of carpet are
laid out to form the aisles
between exhibitors.
Last year, the hot new
,thing in golf was the square
driver. Since then, nearly
every major manufacturer
and plenty of the smaller
ones have come out with a
"geometry-based" driver in
an effort to help golfers hit'
drives straighter.
For 2008 however,
nothing has jumped out at
me in the press releases
heading into the show.
With the new ruling
allowing golfers to have
"adjustable" clubs in their
bags, I suspect that many
companies will be showing
their versions of these
clubs, which allows golfers
'itb switch theshaftrout tr1-
--betw eenorounds' o durinigr,
practice. The great feature R
-iei-this is that golfers can
keep5thelr-avordite head
while testing different shafts
all without having to pay a
professional club builder to
Stake it apart and put it
together each time.
Bridgestone is set to
unveil a new line of irons,
wedges and fairway woods.
The company's use of softer
metals in its casting process;
will give golfers a "forged"
feel in a cast club.
Wilson Golf has an
interesting new concept.
The company's Fybrid
line of woods combines the
extra heft and MOI of a
fairway wood with the
hitting ease of a hybrid. I
plan some thorough testing
'on th ese. -:* '
With regard to apparel,

fabrics will continue to
dominate. The best news is
that the technology has
become less expensive to
use and more available,
making these items more
affordable. Look for bam-
boo to begin a strong
showing in fabric this year.
Last year the USGA ruled
that golfers may, with a local
rule, employ GPS and laser
range-finding equipment
during their rounds. Thanks
to these local rules, players
are finding the advantages
of knowing near-exact
yardages. The ruling has
also meant more customers,
meaning more companies
providing the technology
and lower prices for golfers
looking to purchase.
Golf bags are becoming
lighter and easier to carry
than ever before. For those
wishing to walk without
carrying, an entirely new
generation of pull-and-
push-carts is on the hori-
zon. 1 .
Not every course or shop
sends someone tothe show.
Many depend on company
reps to show them all the
latest technology and steer
them in the right direction
for their customers.
Social sops .go, gers .
wouldn't even hear of,
much less consider for their
game. I consider it my
calling and duty to find
those and report back to
you.
Please, hold the applause.
There is no need to thank
me. I do all of this because
of the'deep love in my heart
for-our game. Sometimes
one must make'sacrifices
for the good of the sport
and the needs of his fans.
Over the next few weeks I
will fill you in on all the
latest and greatest in the
world of golf for 2008.

resources. "In addition to Dr.
TuIrner, there will be out-
standing presenters from
Florida Atlantic University,
Sandy Pines, Tykes and Teens,
private physicians and local
law enforcement officers,"
she said.
This regional training con-
ference is for mental health,
substance abuse, nursing,
medical and teaching profes-

be helpful for any profession-
al or individual who works
with troubled kids," said
Knight.
