Latest phase of Parkway project set Initial work to center on berm construction and utilities BY KIM COTTON Staff writer PORT ST. LUCIE Con- struction on another por- tion of the city's third east- west corridor was slated to begin by the end of the March. Berm construction and utility installations on Seg- ment 2 of the Crosstown Parkway was expected to begin by the end of Febru- ary, with work on the road- way itself beginning early this summer, said Jim Angstadt, a civil engineer with the city's Engineering Department. "The 6-foot berms will be built first to help shield the neighborhoods from construction noise," Mr. Angstadt said. "We will also be getting the utility work done because there is a major water line going down." The Crosstown Parkway will be Port St. Lucie's third east-west thoroughfare between 1-95 and U.S.1, when it is complete. It is being built in five seg- ments, from Interstate 95 to the west and, the city hopes, over the North Fork of the St. Lucie River to U.S. 1 to the east. The road will run along West Vir- ginia Drive and Juliet Avenue. The Crosstown Parkway is being built to relieve congestion on the rapidly growing city's tow original east-west corridors, Port St. Lucie and Prima Vista boulevards. An environmental impact study for the bridge over the river is still being conducted, and a report is expected some- time in the next year. The environmental study is required before approval for the bridge is granted by the federal government. The Crosstown Parkway will be a si4lane highway, lined with sidewalks. There will be limited access to the road from surrounding neighbor- hoods, and there will be no homes or businesses on the road. Construction on the Parkway began with Seg- ment 3, which is the bridge over the Florida Turnpike, connecting Bayshore and Cashmere boulevards. That segment, which began in February, 2006, is projected to be completed by March 2008. Segment 2 goes from Bayshore Boulevard to Manth Lane, where the federal government wants the city to end the project until the river study is completed, Mr. Angstadt said. The second part of the $165 million Crosstown Parkway is budgeted for $41 million, Mr. Angstadt added. The bridge over the Florida's Turnpike has a $27 million budget. One home remains in Segment 2 and will be vacated in the next two months, Mr. Angstadt said. The city purchased 400 lots, 200 of those with homes for the project, with some Of the former homeowners renting their homes from the city. Residents in neighbor- hoods near the project can expect to see little traffic disruption. "A majority of the roads will stay open dur- ing the berm and utility work," Mr. Angstadt said. "But there will be a few temporary closures." A completion date for the entire project has not been set at this time. Residents can obtain more information about the Crosstown Parkway at the city's Web site, www.cityofpsl.com. Group keeping an eye on taxes Residents band together to work on lowering property taxes BY KIM COTTON Staff writer PORT ST. LUCIE A group of concerned citi- zens have joined togeth- er to work on reducing the property taxes in St. Lucie County. Led by builder Don Warburton, the eight- member group has begun looking at the tax rates residents are charged by various agen- cies in St. Lucie County. "We have got to do something about the property taxes," Mr. War- burton said. "The prop- erty taxes we are faced with in the county are large. When we take a look at other counties equal our size, the mill- age rate for ours is quite high." The millage rate is the percentage of a dollar property owners pay to various taxing districts in a county. The total mill- age is paid per $1,000 of property value. An analysis done by assistant city manager Gregory Oravec found that St. Lucie County has one of the highest prop- erty tax rates in the state among counties of simi- lar population, while the city of Port St. Lucie has the fourth lowest rate. Port St. Lucie's rate is 4.4399, a fraction of the total millage rate for St. Lucie County, which is 23.1690. By comparison, Fort Pierce has a millage ) See GROUP,, A4 Too much calcium .

BY ROBIN RINKE Staff writer How do two musicians grow up in the same area of New Jersey, play in the same band in the 60's and then both move to the Treasure Coast around the same time and never meet until a year ago? Welcome to the hit- and-miss story of Don Ciccone of Port St. Lucie and Al Miller of Stuart. Mr. Ciccone has played with 1960's pop group Frankie Valli as one of the Four Seasons, and helped with such hits as "December '63/Oh What a Night" and "Who Loves You." However, in the early '60's he had a brief taste of fame when he formed the group The Critters for which he was lead singer and songwriter. The Critters had two songs, "Younger Girl,"and "Mr. Dieingly Sad" that hit the charts, but the success was short-lived when Mr. Cic- cone was drafted to serve in Vietnam. As far as he knew, the draft split up the group. "When I left for the war, my group's breakup caused a splinter, group to form. This group kept the name The Critters. "I was not aware of the fact that Mr. Miller was hired as a keyboard play- er and singer," Mr. Cic- cone said. "So, not knowing that piece of information, a few years ago, when I moved to the Treasure Coast area, I kept hearing about this guy, Al Miller. He was a local musician telling people he was in the group The Critters. It really bothered me. I thought he was just using the band's name," Mr. Ciccone said. "I knew Mr. Miller was the keyboardist for the local group SKEEZIX, and about a year ago I pur- posely went to Pirates Cove one night to blast this guy. "I sat-at'a table and lis- tened to their set. Funny thing is, as I sat there, I thought the music, the singers and the reper- toire of music was great. "When the group was done with a set I yelled out to Mr. Miller as he passed by. I asked him to have a drink with me at my table," Mr. Ciccone said. After a brief introduc- tion and a drink, the mystery of The Critters musician was finally solved and the two guys from Plainfield, N.J., became fast friends. "I sat down at his table that night to talk and we've been friends ever since," Mr. Miller said. Not only did they start a friendship, but, as of January, the two are play- ing together in the same band. Mr. Ciccone joined as the guitarist-singer for SKEEZIX. SKEEZIX has been playing Treasure Coast area clubs for more than five years. The band derived its name from a character in the comic series Gasoline Alley. The group consists of Mr. Miller on keyboards, Lenny Rocco on bass gui- 1 See SKEEZIX, A9 A2 *Por St Luie Hmetwn ewsFridy, arc 2,200 ,, 'ISN'T IT TINIE FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE OUR _- AWARD WINNING DAY SPA?

LUCIE - Steve Horton has spent 20 years dedicated to keeping his community safe. Mr. Horton, 57,. is a member of the Guardian Angels, and was recog- nized last month by the organization for his work in both Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties. "The award was pre- sented to me, but I con- sider it for everybody in the group," Mr. Horton said. The Dare to Care award was presented to Mr. Horton by professor Sean Kelley, a seventh-degree karate black belt and coordinator for the South Florida Guardian Angels. The ceremony took place in Lake Worth on Feb. 11. The award is given to those in the Guardian Angels who have shown leadership in and passion for the Angels. "This is another posi- tive for the group," Mr. Horton said. "We have a vigilante reputation, and. that's not what we are about. I've been in the group 20 years, and we use violence as a last resort and it is only used to stop a situation." Mr. Horton started a chapter of the Guardian Angels in St. Lucie Coun- ty three years ago. With nine other men currently in the group, the Guardian Angels routine- ly patrol high crime areas, as well as provide security for special events.

Why David Barnes, of 2406 Oak Drive, drove his 2001 Ford Focus through the railroad crossing arm and past the blaring signal after turning left from the southbound lane of the highway onto Avenue H is a mystery. "We still don't know what happened," said Fort Pierce Police Department spokeswoman Audria Moore. "He just drove into the train." What many know is that the crash snarled rush hour traffic in the area for about 40 minutes. Mean- while, Mr.. Barnes, the father of well-known 19th Judicial Circuit Court judge Cliff Barnes, was air- lifted to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Mel- bourne. Mr. Barnes sustained a broken arm, Ms. Moore said. Though she was not allowed to disclose much, Laura Manning, a spokes- woman for Holmes Regional, said Mr. Barnes underwent surgery. Feb. 22 and was in "OK" condition Feb. 23. Mr. Barnes declined to comment, and his son was out of town and could not be reached. The Focus was totaled. WEEK IN REVIEW South Fork teacher charged with three counts of sexual activity with minor Assistant State Attorney Keri Smith filed court doc- uments on Feb. 22, charging South Fork High School teacher Shawn Trotter with three counts of sexual activity with a minor. The charges stem from accusations that the high school teacher, 34, had sex with a 16-year-old female student in the closet of his classroom. Mr. Trotter, who resides in Vero Beach, was incar- cerated in Martin County Jail,.but was released on bail on Feb. 9. Company selected to build mall at 1-95 and Becker Road Core Communities, developer of western Port St. Lpcie community Tradition, selected a Michigan- based company to plan and develop a shopping mall at Becker Road and Interstate 95. Taubman Centers, owners of Wellington Green mall in Wellington and International Plaza in Tampa, was selected by Core Communities to construct the mall. The city is planning to begin building an inter- change at the intersection later this year, which is expected to finish in 2009. The mall is part of Tradition's plan for 8 million square feet of commercial and retail space along I- 95. State approves IRCC bachelor's programs The Florida Board of Education on Feb. 20 approved Indian River Community College's propos- al to offer bachelor's degree programs in workforce fields with critical employee shortages. IRCC will launch the new programs in January 2008 in teacher education in middle and high school math and science, exceptional student education, nursing and health care management, organization- al management and public safety administration. "IRCC's mission has always focused on responding to the educational and workforce needs of our com- munity, and providing these new programs is a natu- ral progression," said Dr. Edwin R. Massey, IRCC president. "As our region evolves into the Research Coast, it is even more important that the residents of our region have access to education which will pre- pare them for 21st Century careers."

Group From page Al AskThe HJewefer Hawk Levy 20th-Century Jewelry The jewels of Spanish painter Salvador Dali were more extravagant and were more repre- sentative of design for its own sake than as a func- tion of the jewel to be worn. Although a great deal of modern jewelry is designed and made by large firms, the tradition of the artist craftsman is strong in Scandinavia and the United States, where silver, semi- precious stones, ham- mered copper, and other less costly materials are commonly used, Plastics are often employed in expensive jewelry. Arts-and-crafts shops produce vast selections of abstract and naturalistic designs in rings bracelets, ear- ings, necklaces, and brooches. Although jew- elry in the 19th and early 20th century was worn primarily by women, in the late 20th Century some men were wearing jewelry such as neckchains, bracelets, and earrings. Questions?

A house in St. Lucie County valued at $200,000 after taking the $25,000 homestead exemption would pay more than $4,600 in property taxes. In addition to the city and county collecting tax revenue, the school and fire districts both have a village rate, as well as South Florida Water Man- agement District. There is also a separate rate for children's services in the county. "There are areas we have to look, at to see where the unnecessary spending is and what makes our taxes so high," Mr. Warburton said. "My taxes on a personal level have seen a tremendous increase." The group consists of county residents from a variety of backgrounds, including a retired finance person. They plan to meet with officials from Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce, as well as St. Lucie County commis- sioners. Mr. Warburton said in addition to working to reduce property taxes, the group will also meet with officials to ensure residents are getting the most from their tax dol- lars. "I'd like to see the city of Port St. Lucie and the county. come together and work to ensure they are not duplicating serv- ices," he said. "There are things both could do bet- ter working together. We all have to look at the big- ger picture." The group met with Port St. Lucie Council- woman Michelle Berger last week, who said she supports what they want to achieve. "It is my job as a repre- sentative to listen to the people and here they are telling me taxes are too high," Mrs. Berger said. "They are going to hold me accountable." Mrs. Berger added that she will work to make sure the city will get the most for its tax revenue. She also agrees that the city and county need to work together better. "We need to make sure the city runs most effi- ciently," Mrs. Berger said. "I will work with the other taxing districts to elimi- nate duplicate services where possible. We have to work together to stretch the taxpayers' dollars."

Statements offact will be checked for accuracy. Look before you leap I just read that the St Lucie County Commissioners are hiring an engineering firm to evaluate the plasma system of waste disposal, for a quarter of a million dollars. Imagine that! It's probably good to evaluate it before you plunge into something like this. * If this is approved, St Lucie County will be the only county in the entire United States with this system. The company has had a daily ad in the paper for a week, I noticed. Why is this the solution to the St. Lucie County landfill, but not useful in a places that really have a lot of waste, like NewYork City, and Staten Island? A television program I just watched described a self- contained compound, which included garbage and other waste recycle and reuse, with extensive recycling locally., Why doesn't county and city government immediately reduce landfill by providing recycling containers next to all the waste containers in county and state parks, and city and county streets? If that was done right, it would really reduce a lot of landfill. Put them away for a long time I'm sure your readers have the same thoughts about two individuals, in your paper, who were caught in Gporgia for holding up a Publix in Port St. Lucie. It was reported that they were caught on camera, armed, and with "no regard for human life." I have great respect for law enforcement, and I thank Georgia for making the arrest. The Audi they stole should have been picked up in Florida. Regardless, these two men, age 30 and 25, have been loose in our community for years. The article states, "Mr. Clark has been arrested 22 times for crimes, such as grand theft and carrying concealed weapons. Mr. Anderson has been arrested 13 times on such charges as aggravated assault and battery on law enforcement." Where is the judge who is going to put them away for a very long time?. More on animal abuse Regarding animal abuse, I send donations to a few animal sanctuaries. Every day I get mail, and terrible photos of abused animals from animal rescue organiza- tions all over the country. My mailing address is sold, I guess. Why do these rescue organizations stay in business? What is wrong with this country? Why does every state have to have a nonprofit shelter for abused domestic .and exotic-animals? Why are animals abused? What happens to the abuser? The creeps who starve lions, tigers, cats, dogs, burros . and horses, and keep them locked up until they are at the point of.death, and them over to animal rescue agencies, then take pictures and write to me for money. Why does this abuse exist? Why are these people allowed to breed and sell these pets? I just read that there is no comment at all about the abuser. I am sure that the local humane society knows who some of the local creeps are who abuse animals and get away with it. I think it would be a great investigative reporting exercise for your very fine paper. Perhaps, the results would be a national and local government clamp down, and eventual closing down ofthese sanctuaries, with a lot less mail for me. Televised euthanasia a great idea Kudos for the rant that suggested televising euthana- sia of healthy dogs, cat and kittens at the humane ' society, because they have no place to go. The television program should include those animals that are euthaniased because they are so badly injured by abandonment and abuse that they couldn't be adopted. Televising this is a great idea. Show it on public PSi. CRKs, DOW10 4. LffTER BASi" "Copyrighted Material- Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" 4 tf television, and show it at all the schools, too. This way the new generation will know better than the old people who think that having puppies and kitties is cute, only to have them turn out to be a nuisance. Let them see what happens. Cheapo snowbirds, are you sure? Yet another rant about "cheapo snowbirds I see leaving no tip for the waitress." Does the ranter question restaurant patrons to deter- mine whether they are seasonal or not? Does he or she follow them to the cash register to verify whether a tip was entered on the credit card? Please folks, this kind of negativity isn't healthy, or productive. How about addressing larger issues which truly impact your life with the same energy you bring to this subject. If you are not happy with your income or life, etc. develop a strategy and channel all of your energies toward achieving your goal. One day, upon retirement, you might just be able to spend the summers in the mountains of North Carolina, or elsewhere, where they very much dislike seasonal Floridians! Attack Labrador? I am responding to the "resident shoots neighbors' dog" story. I could not believe that this person would actually kill a neighbor's dog, and try to justify his actions. We all have to live on this planet together and try to be civil. This story is just an example of what is wrong with society. Life is just to expendable to preserve it. I am ashamed for this person, even if he is not ashamed of himself. I hope that his granddaughter, mentioned in the story, doesn't wonder into his yard unannounced. Who knows what would happen. What a little, little, almost man you are. I wonder if you have seen the little girls crying for their dog. I can only hope the police department charges you with as many hope the police department charges you with as many crimes as possible. Gasoline prices rising again My rant is on the price of gasoline. As you know, the price of gasoline is starting to go back up toward $3 per gallon. There's a reason for this. Nineteen cents of every dollar spent for gas goes to taxes. If George W. Bush, and his oil buddies, can get the price back up to $3 a gallon, the tax on that same gallon of gas would then be 37 a gallon. That's right after his oil buddies just made excessive profits, with nothing said about that from the White House. Now, do you remember a couple of years ago, when George W. Bush signed a federal highway bill? He said it would save American lives. There's no facts or figures to back up that statement, but everybody believes it, so they go along with it. In the meantime, he is also in the process of privatiz- ing the federal highway system. You don't see this much in the papers. They are kind of like little articles you have to pick apart. But, if he gets the federal highway system privatized, he will be ale to give big, no bid contracts to his friends and backers. So, there you go. That's the reason the price of gas keeps going up. Now, how about ethanol? The president of the United States said that we might have to rely more on ethanol. If that's true, why did he put a 54 a gallon tariff on imported ethanol? The man says things that are absolutely not true. I can't call him a liar, but, yes, it is a lie. This is what the president of the United States is doing with price of gas. That's why it was $3 a gallon before, and why it will up there again. Just give it a little time. *You've got less than two years to get rid of this kind of junk. Letters Dear Editor: This letter is regarding those bothersome signs that have been popping up around Port St. Lucie and Jensen Beach these past few months. I'm not referring to the plethora of candidate signs we saw prior to November's elec- tions, or even the endless slew of real estate, lot clearing, jewelry, singles, sign-making, pool clean- ing, or "Capitalism Rules, Buy Our Crap" signs that have been ever more pres- ent lately, despite the lack of permits. I'm- referring to what have been called the "magic marker man" signs. Cute alliteration, huh? It almost takes away from the seriousness of what many of those signs have to say. We've rounded-up and redistributed upwards of 300 signs to date. For every sign we replant, about two are taken to be recycled. Why, then, do you suppose that people complain about our signs, but not about the more ntimerous signs that actually try to sell them something? Hmm. Well, while I'd be the first to admit that some of our signs are "less than beauti- ful," I have a feeling that aesthetics isn't the issue. We live in a society that proclaims freedom of press, yet allows all of its major media outlets to be run by six multinational corporations. And when ABC isn't trying to get you to, visit Disneyland, they somehow neglect to men- tion the recent bombings of Somalia; when NBC isn't trying to get you to visit Universal, they tend to dismiss global warming as a "theory." I wonder if the fact that they're 80 per- cent controlled by G.E. has anything to do with that. In its simplest essence, this is why we exist. When all you see on those pre- cious chunks of 'nature that haven't been totally destroyed by developers are brightly colored signs trying to take your money, it makes you a bit mad. The sign re-beautification committee has various beliefs and various levels of dedication. We aren't going to stop fighting for what we feel is right until some serious changes are made, and we encourage all of you to help us out. Because once they take away .your will to fight back, that's when they've truly won.

Tim Mahoney is con- cerned, there should be no more free lunches for politicians. Speaking at a recent Council of Chambers luncheon, Rep. Mahoney reviewed some of the leg- islation he has helped pass to put the nation's fiscal house in order since taking office seven weeks ago. The Democrat noted in particular a bill he spon- sored on earmark reforms. Earmarks are often used by politicians to fund pet projects at the end of the legislative ses- sion without debate or review. "This means that con- gress can't pass laws that we can't afford, and that S we stop the pork proj- ects," he said. "Last year, 14,000 earmarks cost us $60 billion of our hard- earned money." Rep. Mahoney is a member of the Blue Dog Democratic Coalition, a group of conservative Democrats whose focus is on fiscal responsibility. Rep. Mahoney said that within .hours of being sworn into office, "I was proud to sponsor and lead the debate on ethics reform. We got rid of the boondoggles, the free meals, the free tickets to entertainment." Noting that he and his colleagues had inherited a "fiscal disaster," Rep. Mahoney said, "We passed the budget for 2007 that put a cap on spending at 2005 levels. We did that by getting rid of earmarks, and we found $4 i billion of cuts to fund pro- grams for h e alt h 'a I care for ,- I our veter- ans, Head Start for our chil- Tim Mahoney dren, and funding for our sheriffs, and we did all of that by making tough choices." As part of that budget, Rep. Mahoney said, "We cut interest rates on col- lege loans to make educa- tion more affordable. We took $14 billion in subsi- dies that were given to oil industry, that this year alone is making $1 trillion in annual profits, and we are going to put that money to work by invest- ing in alternative energy." Rep. Mahoney said developing alternative energy sources could have a direct impact in helping Floridians create new jobs. It is also an industry of the future. "Let me tell you some- thing, alternative energy and biofuels is an oppor- tunity we can take advan- tage of here in Martin County, which means that kids growing up in Indiantown will have the opportunity to grow up, graduate, stay home, and participate in an industry that gives them a future for the 21st century." "We have the opportu- nity to be the Silicon Val- ley of biofuels because of our rich soil and our beautiful environment." The Congressman also set his sights on increas- ing the minimum wage. "We took 12 million people, working Ameri- cans, who have not seen an increase in over 10 years earning the mini- mum wage, and we gave them a raise. And I'm real proud of that because at the same time, we made sure that Congress did not get a raise," he said. Rep. Mahoney also mentioned his sponsor- ship of the Small Business Tax Relief Act in 2007, which amends the Inter- nal Revenue Code to pro- vide tax relief for small businesses. Rep. Mahoney said the bill is aimed at fostering entrepreneurship in our communities. "By making it more profitable to own and operate small businesses, this Congress is encourag- ing individuals to bring their ideas and visions to the marketplace," he said. Rep. Mahoney said he was proud to be one of a handful of freshman rep- resentatives to be selected as a member of the House Financial Services Com- mittee, which deals with insurance reform. However, noting the recent bill signed into law by Gov. Charlie Crist deal- ing with property insur- ance reform, that allows Floridians a reduction in premiums and options such as dropping wind- storm coverage and elimi- nating caps on deductibles, Rep. Mahoney said, "I know that what we've done here in Florida has averted a crisis temporarily, but let's not kid ourselves. Nothing happened in Tallahassee other than we didn't increase the rates. By not increasing the rates, we eliminated the pain, but should we have another hurricane season like we had a couple of years ago, we are going to be in big trouble again. Those loss- es are going to have to be covered by the people of the state of Florida." Saying that the insur- ance reform law didn't really fix the problem, Rep. Mahoney added, "The governor, in order to make sure that we don't have a crisis, basically declared martial law and said to insurance compa- nies that you can't leave. And this is not a good sit- uation." As a member of the Financial Services Com- mittee, Rep. Mahoney said he plans to foster a debate to continue to address the issue of insur- ance reform. "One of the questions I'm going to be asking the insurance industry is a basic fairness question; 'If somebody pays in and they haven't received the benefit of the insurance, is it basically a fair thing to be dropped?'" he said. One issue being dis- cussed in Washington is the creation of a national catastrophic fund. He noted the fund has two flaws. One is that congress has not determined where the money for such a fund will come from. The other is the argument from those who live in states less prone to major disas- ters whom ask why they should be expected to contribute to such a fund. "I'm committed to find- ing that balance, to work- ing with the insurance industry," said Rep. Mahoney. "But at the ) See MAHONEY, Al 3 Rooney says he will be watching votes Republican lawyer plans to run against Mahoney in 2008 election BY RITA HART Staff Writer Thomas Rooney, a Republican attorney with an office in Stuart, is planning to run against U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney. in the 2008 congression- al race for the 16th dis- trict. In response to Rep. Mahoney's remarks at the Council of Chambers luncheon, Mr. Rooney, who attended the event,. .said, "He made reference to the fact that the tax cuts aren't working, which leads me to believe that it's going to be one of his priorities to get rid of the tax cuts and increase our taxes." With respect to the many issues discussed by Rep. Mahoney, Mr. Rooney said, "Certainly we are -at the absolute beginning stage of addressing those things. I think it's great if he's. talking about Martin County being an incuba- tor for alternative fuels and alternative energies. If he makes that a priori- ty, then maybe that's something Martin Coun- ty can be named for. However, I'll be watching how he votes." The biggest concern Mr. Rooney had with Rep. Mahoney's com- ments, however, was the issue of minimum wage. Pointing out that Rep. Mahoney made several references to being a small business owner in the financial services industry with a staff of over 200 and 30 locations throughout the country, Mr. Rooney said of Rep. Mahoney, "He out- sourced a lot of his man- power to help with his bottom line. That's a business decision for him, but you can't just say 'there is going to be a minimum wage increase, but when I did it, I just sent them all to India and paid them one dollar an hour, rather than addressing all the fami- lies he laid off." Mr. Rooney further stated, "If he was involved, either directly or indirectly, with any company whose solu- tion to employing American workers was to lay them off and out- source, then he is hav- ing it both ways by insisting the rest of us have minimum wage with no opportunity to get credit for providing certain health benefits." In response to Mr. Rooney's remarks, Jessi- ca Santillo, spokes- woman for Rep. Mahoney, said, "Con- gressman Mahoney believes that Florida's hardworking families deserve a living wage because when our workers are strong, our businesses, families, and communities are strong. It is unfortunate ) See RESPONSE, A13 ucie County Thursday, March Friday, March 2 Saturday, March! -< 7:30PM Ftg : with GATE ADMISON 'Road at the Intersection of Rt 70 froA Port St. Lucie A7 www.HometownNewsOL.com di M h 2 2007 A8 Port St. Lucie Hometown News Friday, March 2, 2007 ST.

He grew up in Jupiter and was a member of the Palm Beach County chapter of the Guardian Angels. As a member of that chapter, Mr. Horton said he went into some of the worst neighborhoods of Palm Beach County and transformed them. He said the Angels' meth- ods of transforming neighborhoods works because they tackle more than just crime. "We get with people who say 'We want the crap stopped,'" Mr. Hor- ton said. "It can be done, and people have to re- learn what to do and how to do it (to take back the neighborhoods). We band together with the residents to cure the problem." The Guardian Angels teach residents how to form neighborhood watch groups to patrol themselves and how to clean up the streets to create a better looking neighborhood. Mr. Hor- ton said they help resi- dents address code viola- tions and other issues to keep the streets clean. "We get the residents to say 'we're not going to let those people intimidate me,'" he said. "We get people to help people." Guardian Angels go through a 12-week train- ing period, where they are trained in a number of areas, from martial arts to first aid to laws concerning citizen's arrests (which Angels do). In addition to the first 12 weeks of training, Mr. Horton said groups are constantly training on their maneuvers, even when on patrols. To avoid conflicts with St. Lucie County law enforcement agencies, Mr. Horton said.his group works with the Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce police departments and the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office.

Friday, March 2, 2007 Hometown News Al4 P t St Lucie I nrfl.6, MJnh~~ldFl7 wXH.ew wsLZo PrtS. uce* 1 The enduring faith of Abraham A braham grew up in Ur of the Chaldees, an important ancient world city in southern Mesopotamia (present day Iraq), located 140 miles southeast of the site of old Babylon. Mesopotamian people developed many technolo- gies, including glassmaking, textile weaving, water storage systems, irrigation methods and metalworking. The Bronze Age was underway when Abraham was born around 2166 B. C. Ancient metal smiths used expensive metals to make armor and various weapons such as swords, daggers, and spears. The people of Mesopotamia used Cuneiform, or wedge- shaped script for writing, utilizing a full alphabet. They used a base-60 numeral system. This is the source of our current 60- minute hour. They also worked out a 12-month calendar, based on the cycles of the moon. Mesopotamians invented the wheel about 835 years before the birth of Abraham. Early wheels were simple wooden discs, with a hole in the middle for the axle. Commercial Fishermen used sailboats, on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They believed the world was a flat disc, and that the universe was born from a vast body of water. Astronomers studied the stars and sky and accurately predicted eclipses! Mesopotamian religion was highly polytheistic, meaning they believed in many gods. There was one man living in Mesopotamia, who distinguished himself. He belie ed in only one God. His name was Abraham. How did he know about Jehovah God, the creator of Adam and Eve?We can only speculate that the story of creation, which began in the Garden of Eden, was passed down through the genera- tions by oral tradition, by word of mouth. Genesis 12:1-3 says this; "The Lord said to Abraham, leave your country, your people, and your father's household, and go to the land Iwill show you. I will make you a great nation and I will bless you. I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you, and all people on earth Religion Notes Wednesday night is Education Night New Testament Faith Center in Port St. Lucie invites adults to "Educa- tion Night" Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. This adult Bible study is free and open to the com- munity. For information, call the New Testament Faith Cen- ter, 862 S.W Glenview Court, at (772) 336-9999. Lenten study series continues The Rev. James Nimmo is leading a Lenten study series every Tuesday through March 27 at the First Presbyterian Church of Port St. Lucie, 2240 S.E. Walton Road. Light refreshments fol- low each session. The community is invit- ed to this free series, and reservations are required. Call the church at (772) 335-8900. - For Hometown News A DAVID GOODE Religion columnist will be blessed through you." We don't know if God spoke to Abraham in an audible voice like he did to Moses and Samuel, but Abraham clearly heard God tell him to leave Mesopotamia. This call of Abraham, begins the story of the redemption of mankind. This great nation that God promised to Abraham, produced Christ, who redeemed mankind on the cross. These three verses tell of God's command and promise to Abraham, and his obedient response to God. The results of his simple act of faith spread like ripples on the stillness of a pond. Abraham's willingness to obey God bore a new nation and blessed all people on earth. God called Abraham to leave familiar surroundings and comfort behind. Even though he did not know his final destination, the 75- year old patriarch had great faith. He left with his wife Sarah and his.nephew Lot. They traveled to Haran, a distance of 600 miles. Here, they accumulated posses- sions, and hired servants. After praying to God with great faith, Abraham, Sarah, and Lot set out for the land of Canaan, present day Israel. This was the second stage of their journey and was a distance of about 450 miles. Shechem, Abraham's first stopping place in Canaan, was a vale, which was a valley, of magnificent beauty. Here, the Lord appeared to Abraham and said, "To your offspring, I will give this land." Abraham built an altar there as a memorial to God. Romans 4:3 tells us that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him for righteousness. The faith of Abraham pleased God, and God faithfully lead him to the promised land. Just as Abraham believed the promise of God, you also, can believe and trust God and he will lead you to your promised land.

After eliminat- know me, I should tell you that I don't profess ing the dealer fee my profit per car did drop / to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who by about the amount of the dealer fee, but 2' I p i / 5'. -V..', was always perfect for the past 38 years. When I look at some of my past advertising and sales tactics, I am not always proud. But I have evolved as my customers have evolved. My customers' expectations, level of education and sophistication are much higher today. Your customers are no different. My remarks are made sincerely and with a positive intent toward you and your custom- ers. I am not trying to tell you how to run your business. I "My CU am suggesting a change that will reward both you and your expectant customers. Virtually every car dealer in Florida adds a charge to the price of cars he sells, a "dealer fee/doc fee/dealer prep" fee ranging from $500 to nearly $1,000. This extra charge is programmed into my customers realized I was now giving them a fair shake and quoting a complete out-the- door price with no "surprises". And the word spread. My volume of car sales began to rise rapidly. Sure, I was making a few hundred dollars less per car, but I was selling a lot more cars. I was and am selling cars to many of your former customers. My bottom line has improved, not because I eliminated the dealer fee, but because I was able to earn the trust of more customers in buying their new or used car. You can do the same. Why am I writing this letter? I'm not going to tell you that I think of myself as the new "sheriff' that has come to "clean up South Florida". In fact, I am well aware that this letter is, to some extent, self- istomers" ions, level of education and sophistication are much higher today."

It has been made illegal in many states including California, but is still legal in Florida. The reason you charge this fee is simply to increase the price of the car and your profit in such a manner that it is not noticed by your customers. This is just plain wrong. I used to charge a dealer fee ($495) and when I stopped charging it a few years ago it was scary. But I did it because I could no longer, in good conscience, mislead my customers. Just because everybody else was doing the same thing, did not make it correct. serving. Many people will read this letter and learn why they should buy a car from me, and not you. And, I am also aware that most dealers who read this will either get angry and ignore it or not have the courage to follow my lead. But maybe you will be the exception. If you have any interest in following my lead, call me anytime. I don't have a secretary and I don't screen any of my phone calls. I would love to chat with you about this.

Editor's Note: This is part two ofa two-part series. The first column ran Feb. 16. M any people brush the risk of develop- ing cancer because "there's none in our family." However, many cancers are not hereditary and many factors go into the development of cancer. For colon cancer there are risk factors you should know .about and discuss with your doctor so that you can have appropriate early ;screening if it is advisable. Age is one of the biggest risk factors. Although younger people can develop colon cancer; more than 90 percent of people diagnosed with it are older than 50. That's why screen- ing guidelines recommend that testing begin at 50 for most people. If you have had colon or rectal cancer, you are more likely to develop it again. Your doctor will watch you carefully. If you have a history of certain kinds of polyps or growths in the colon, even though they are not cancerous, you are at increased risk for develop- ing the disease. A doctor will remove polyps during a colonoscopy and send them to be biopsied, or checked for cancer. Most are not cancerous; I have had non-cancerous polyps removed several times. It is done at the same time as a colonoscopy and doesn't hurt.

In the past, I have discussed white, whole wheat flour. It has all the nutrition of regular wheat flour, but the texture and taste is similar to bleached white flour. Several companies are making white wheat bread but the flour was nowhere to be found. Mr. Lopez, the manager of the Publix store in Darwin Square on Port St. Lucie Boulevard in Port St. Lucie has ordered in several cases. Made by King Arthur it is called, "All natural white whole wheat floir." Ask your supermarket manager to order this product. Maybe if enough of you show an inter- est, it will always be available. Now we're talking good carbo- hydrates. Here's something that will give you a wake-up call. We all know how important calcium is to keep our bones strong and, if you are like me, you follow the guidelines and take 1,200 milligrams a day. Since calcium doesn't absorb well unless taken with vitamin D, we make sure our supple- ment includes vitamin D. I recently came across a health article stating the dangers of too much calcium. Information from the American Medical Association and the Institute of Medicine had a lot to say. Just about every- thing you eat, from orange juice to breads to cereals i , even to candy is ,. fortified with calcium. What can ; happen is too much calcium. This can cause aches and pains all over the body (had them), kidney problems and kidney stones in some, drug and nutrient interactions and so much more. Too much calcium can decrease the effectiveness of , several antibiotics, as well as some medications for cardiac or thyroid conditions and actually weaken the bones making them more prone to fractures. Excess calcium can also cause severe gastrointesti- nal distress. Why haven't we been told by our doctors, pharmacists, not even on the label of the calci- um itself. I've cut back to one 600 milligram with vitamin D pill and I am paying attention not to always buy calcium fortified. The maximum tolerable level of calcium is 2,500 milligrams per day. If you eat right, you're getting calcium from many foods and dairy products. Check out every supplement you're taking; do the math.

Don't pay extra money to add nitrogen to your tires It's bad enough that gastations now make you pay to inflate your own tires with air. But at least you are getting what you paid for. Air that does what it's supposed to do, and that is, keep your tires inflated. Many car dealers are now charging customers to fill their tires with "pure" nitrogen. They tell you that nitrogen does not leak from your tires as quickly as air and this means that your tires will stay properly inflated longer before you have to add more nitrogen (and pay the dealer for this). What the dealers don't tell you is that the air that is already in your tires is mostly nitrogen anyway. In fact, 78 percent of the air you breathe is nitrogen. - Oxygen represents only 21 percent of the air. The rest of air includes carbon dioxide and other inert gases. I'm not sure what the purity of the nitrogen is that they pump into your tires for $199 (this is not a typo.. .$199 for filling four tires full of mainly air). But you can be assured that the purity of the nitrogen is not 100 percent and is probably closer to the,78 percent that regular air consists of. IN. THE LATEST ON DENTAL AMALGAM Q: I still hear people argue about the safety of fillings with mercury. What's the Truth? A: Two new studies have confirmed that amalgam, the traditional substance used to fill cavities, is safe, even for school-age children. the two studies, one conducted in the United States, the other in Europe, took test groups of children and used amalgam fillings, which contain half mercury and half resin composite filling. These fillings are not associated with neurological or kidney problems as children age. In the U.S.-based study, led by a professor of neurology at the Harvard Medical School, t; f ' researchers studied 534 children, age 6 to 10. In a study based in Portugal but lead by an expert from the University of Washington in Seattle, researchers tested 507 children, age 8 to 10. In both studies, researchers found no significant difference in loss of intelligence, memory, coordination or concentration. Both studies concluded that amalgam fillings are not associated with neurological or kidney problems as children age. Though the studies did not address the issue of amalgam fillings in children under age 6, pediatric dental experts said any potential exposure in children under 6 would be brief by definition since baby teeth fall out by the time a child is 8 or 9. Talk with your dentist about any concerns you have about amalgam fillings.. N.. .,MOV .M. I . 0 tM. M. . EARL STEWART On Cars Even knowing all of the above, I have to admit that I was curious about whether nitrogen could prolong tire life and improve fuel economy. To find out for myself, my dealership conducted an experiment. We have a fleet of rental cars and we filled .two tires of each car with pure nitrogen and two tires with regular air. We found over the course of many weeks,there was no difference in the inflation levels of the nitrogen vs. air- filled tires. You may have read my column last week, "Beware the phony Monroney." about car dealers that add a sticker designed to look like the federally mandated Monroney sticker. This is where you should look for dealer-installed accessories and additional dealer markups over the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Often, these accessories have a high price but a very low cost. In the case of nitrogen in . four tires selling for $199, this is exactly the case. Since air is already 78 percent nitrogen, it costs virtually nothing to extract nitrogen from the air. To be generous, let's say the dealer's cost is $10 including labor. That is a 2,000 percent markup when he charges $199. Just when I thought I'd seen it all, I actually saw window stickers on a car today from another dealer who had actually modified the Monroney label to show nitrogen-filled tires. Federal law requires that a Monroney label not be removed until the vehicle is, delivered to the customer. It also requires that it not be modified. This new vehiclewas one . we had traded for from another dealer and still had the counterfeit Monroney and the modified real Monroney attached to the window. The modified Monroney looked so authentic, it fooled my technicians and service manager, so you might be easily fooled too;-' This particular dealer also had another charge added to the counterfeit Monroney sticker, a $4,995' "market value adjust- ment." Most prospective cus- tomers think this is part of the manufacturer's recom-* mended retail price. They'; either end up paying too much money for the vehicle or think they are getting more for their trade-in or a bigger dis- count than they really are.' I See STEWART, B3 A DISI NCI IVE PORT Sl.

This is the world of "quick fixes." When we watch televi- sion we are constantly bombarded with compa- nies offering miracle cures and quick fixes for everything from hair loss to flat feet. Then they tell us about the possible side effects for using their products, which, most of the time, are scarier than the benefits described. What, in universal sake are we doing to our- selves? What kind of life is this? There is a far better and greater way to live. What is it? It is learning to live by universal time, rather than by earthly, time. You can't see a child growing every day. Measure it every six months and it's grown 2-, 3-inches or more. You can't see a tree in the yard growing every day. Measure it every year and it has grown maybe 5 feet or more. In nature things unfold in universal time. Like mother earth. She moves forward toward the future, but lives one day at a time. She doesn't try to speed up and get to next week today or stop and go backward, trying to relive the past. It's a full-time job living one day at a time, as the old song says. The process starts when we get stressed or burned out to the point where we let life spin out of control and want to run away or give up or we break down, physically, men- tally or emotionally. Have you ever been " there? Are you there now? When this happens, it is the universe's way of slowing us down. The finest horse can only run one quarter of a mile at full speed before it begins to tire and slow down. What makes you think that you can ignore spiritual and universal laws and keep on the fast JOHN'S HAIRSTYING SALON track without pain, struggle or burnout? The answer and solu- tion to a life out of control is surrender to the universe and a higher power. To do this requires patience, trust and faith in some power greater than ourselves. The best teacher of this principle is a garden. The first thing we do is let go of all the negativity and trash to make room' for new life. This is true in a garden, our homes or lives. Next, we have to make a plan. We have to know what new creations we want. Then, like in the gar- den, the seeds are plant- ed, watered, covered up and surrendered. Then we wait. We don't go out every day and dig the seeds up to see if they are growing. This would kill them. This creates patience, trust and faith in the higher power. We don't grow the crop. The universe grows the crop. Deep'inside every seed or idea living in the heart is a desire to take root and grow. The roots are the blessing and connec- tion between the physi- cal seed and the source or soil. Without the universal blessing of the roots the seed will not grow. The same is true in life. No matter what it is we want, there must be a universal blessing on the idea or dream if it is to come to life. The promised land is our higher self. When we surrender to it, we become like children again. Now we are having more fun. We have created new spiritual values and better ways to run our lives. We have finally gotten off the treadmill. We have become more loving, peaceful and healthier. We don't need "quick I See SPIRIT, B5 If 'our hair is not becoming to you... You ShouldM be Coming to Us!

March 2. 2007 www.Hometown NewsOL.com Port St Lucie B5 Koppel From page B1 the colon, your risk of developing colon cancer increases. You should ask your physician about appropriate early screening. A family history of colon cancer may put you at higher risk and your ,physician needs to know about it. According to the Ameri- - can Cancer Society, about 30 percent of people who develop colon cancer have a strong family history. Screenings in those families should begin earlier than age 50. If you come from certain ethnic backgrounds, your risk maybe higher. Jewish people of eastern European descent (Ashkenazi Jews) have a higher rate of colon cancer that may be linked to a genetic mutation. African-Americans have the highest incidence and death rate, but the reason for this is not known. If you have a diet that comes mostly from animal sources and is high in fats, you may have a higher risk of developing colon cancer. Eating a lot of red meat and processed meats can also increase your risk. The American Cancer Society recommends choosing most foods from -plant sources and limiting high-fat foods; eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day; and eating whole grains. Many fruits and vegetables have substances that can help prevent cancer formation. If you are physically inactive, you have a greater risk. If you are extremely overweight, your risk of dying from colon cancer increases. If you smoke, recent studies have shown that you are 30-40 percent more likely than non-smokers to .die from colon cancer and smoking may even cause more than 10 percent of the cases, because some of the cancer-causing substances are swallowed and go through the digestive tract. Certain hereditary conditions may make it more likely that you will develop colon cancer. Some of the factors, such as age and family history, we can do nothing about. It's clear, though, that the usual suspects: diet, lack of exercise, obesity, and smoking, that cause so many other problems, are also linked to this terrible disease. The take-away message is that the same behaviors that put us at risk for other illnesses are risk factors for colon cancer and we should try to change them. Since we can't control our genetic make-up, appro- priate screenings can help identify the pre-cancerous conditions or diagnose the disease at an early stage, when it is really treatable. Please get tested. It's not a nice way to die.. For more information, contact The American Cancer Society at (800) , ACS-2345 or visit the Web site at www.cancer.org.

Because we have more energy, our creative capacity increases and our finances improve.. We become more spontaneous and take time for simple pleas- ures. Most of all, we are now happy with ourselves. We wake up each morning with gratitude in our hearts and take a little time, to meditate and do our daily affirma- tions. Next, we eat a healthy breakfast to fill up our gas tank and give us energy for the days' activities. Then we take action on the top priorities we need to address first.

To avoid failure, back up your system Computers, just by their very complex nature, are prone to failure. Ask anyone who has used a personal computer for any length of time, and you will hear stories of system lockups, illegal operation errors, general protection faults and more cryptic mes- sages. Most of the error messages that pop up are so technical in their wording that even seasoned professionals have no idea what they mean. (Computer failure is also the No. 1 reason why it's so very important to backup your system; problems occur all the time, and without your data backed up, you.risk losing everything.) Usually, a simple reboot will cure system lockups and errors, but Windows also has built into it a tool called "safe mode," which is specifically for troubleshooting and correcting reoccur- ring problems. Perhaps you've seen it before; SEAN MCCARTHY Compute This Windows will often boot up (load) into safe mode after a power failure or an improper shutdown to give you the opportunity to correct whatever problem is going on. You can tell the system is in safe mode because the resolution and color depth is reduced (the icons all look bigger and the colors are all fuzzy) and the words "safe mode" appear in all four corners. But what is it for? What's the difference between booting a machine in safe mode versus a normal startup, and how does one get into safe mode deliberately? Booting your computer in safe mode allows Win- dows to load with only the essential items neces- sary for the system to run. 'All the "extra" stuff that loads on startup is ignored, and just the core operating system loads. It does this because nine out of 10 times, system problems are not caused by the operating system itself, but by items or programs that load after Windows. By bringing the system up with minimal overhead, it makes troubleshooting a finicky system all the more easier. In fact, often all that is necessary to correct many problems is to bring the system up in safe mode and then do a normal shutdown to let Windows clean itself up and then' boot normally. When you click the start button, then shutdown, Windows goes through a bunch of "house- keeping" chores that clean up its working environ- ment, so the next time it boots up there is not a bunch of stuff left over from its last session. Temporary files (Windows' notes to itself), open files and running processes all get closed during a normal system shutdown, meaning, when the system comes back up, it's not all cluttered with "yesterday's stuff." That's why the system usually pauses a minute or two after you click "shutdown" and before you get the "it's now safe to turn off your computer" message. It's also the reason your system may boot up into safe mode if you just hit the power button instead of doing a proper shutdown. The system didn't ,have a chance to clean up after the last session, so it comes up in safe mode to clean up. But cleaning up an improper shutdown is not all safe mode is for. Without the extra overhead, running programs in safe mode are possible that may not work after a normal startup. Programs such as virus scans, defrag, scandisk, spyware scans and other diagnostic utilities will often work better in safe mode because in safe mode, Windows does not have all the files it normally does in use; therefore, scanning tools are able to scan files without generating sharing violations and other problems. In other words, if the operating system does not have the files it normally has in use busy, then things such as virus or spyware scans are more likely to succeed. Bringing a system, up in safe mode also allows you to unin- stall or disable problem software. Let's say you have a system that's acting all "kerfiewey" (that's a technical term) and you can never get past the Win- dows desktop before the system crashes. Booting the system in safe mode will usually allow you to, regain control of the machine, so you can disable or uninstall .the problem pro- gram. .In normal mode, the machine may be unusable, whereas - in safe mode, you will usually have enough control to ) See COMPUTE, B7 you live in a gated community and are missing your " Saturday -:- March 10 -:- 10:00 a.m. 614 Ervin Crosby Road, Colquitt County, Georgia Marketable Timber (cruise available) Outstanding Hunting & 4 Ponds 108 Acres Excellent Pastureland 1878 Sq.

There are so many different a la carte nutri- ents, that sometimes it is hard to understand what they are all for. I am going to discuss a few of those products, along with some possible uses. The first item on my list is bone meal. Bone meal is made by steaming crushed bones for one and a half hours at 260 degrees. Bone meal is an excellent source of phosphorous and calcium and also can provide some other trace minerals including nitrogen to your plants. Because the nutrients are released so slowly, the product is excellent for use on new plantings as well as bulbs. Bone meal is an excellent product to use on rose bushes. The product is also excellent for using on new transplants, to help avoid plant shock. Bone meal also helps plants maintain and develop healthy root systems. Blood meal is another product that is available at most nursery retailers,. although many people do not know how well this product can work. Blood meal is actually made from the blood collected from animal processing plants. This collected blood is stored in cooled vats that use an agitator to keep the whole blood from coagulat- ing. It is then sent to drying plants where the product is spray dried. - Once dried, the product is packaged in bulk 50-pound bags and sent to various ,distributors where it is packaged for the consumer. Blood meal is an excellent .source of rapid release. Nitrogen. This product can 'be used on all plants, and is especially useful for plants "that are heavy feeders. It is a :great product for instances when you want fast green- in g or want to give your plants an energy boost. If you grow lettuce in your vegetable garden, it is especially useful for helping grow your "dream salad." You can apply the product on top of the soil and water Compute From page B6 clean up or remove programs that are causing issues. So, how does one deliberately enter safe mode? It's easy, but timing is everything. When you begin to boot up your machine, there is a short window of oppor- tunity to hit the "F8" key on your keyboard.. Doing this at just the right moment will bring up a menu allowing you to select safe mode as well as normal boot options. Use the down arrow on your keyboard to highlight "safe mode" arid hit enter. !That will cause the com- iputer to boot with mini- imal overhead and let you regain control of an unruly PC. SThe window of opportuni- 'ty to hit the F8 key is small. 'What happens if you don't ihit it in time? Well, that's where the frustration sets in (there is always frustration involved somewhere). You have to do another shut- down and try again. SUsually, I will begin 'tapping the F8 key about twice a second as soon as ,the system starts to boot Until either the safe mode menu appears or I miss it :and Windows loads normal- ly- Then, I try again until I get it. , Sean McCarthy fixes ,computer problems.

In some lawn and garden supply stores, you can purchase bulk quantities if you want to use it on your lawn as a quick boost. Lime is another useful product for your garden and is very widely available. The active ingredient is lime is calcium. Lime is an excel- lent product to use if you have a vegetable garden. Since the vast majority of Florida's soil is acidic, vegetable gardens can benefit from lime because most veggies require a lower ph level in the soil for optimum growth. It can also help provide sweeter veggies. Lime can also be useful for your lawn, but it would be a good idea to test the ph of your soil first to deter- mine if is actually needed. Occasionally, you may encounter yellowing of certain plants such as hibiscus, ixoria and garde- nias just to name a few. This yellowing is often caused by an iron deficiency in the soil. Adding an iron supple- ment, in either granular or liquid form, will often reverse this yellowing trend and get your plants back to their original lush green color. Iron can also be used to help promote a lush green lawn that you can brag about. Most, but not all, lawn fertilizers contain a per- centage of iron. Sometimes this percentage is too small and an iron deficiency can still develop. You can buy iron at many nursery retailers in different size packages, as well as in different forms. Iron comes packaged in liquid and granular form. As you can see, there are plenty of additives you can experiment with besides just your basic fertilizers. All are safe if used according to package directions.

But traveling as a single can have its challenges and risks, so you should be aware of the various options that are available to you that can make your single travel experience a fun and fulfilling one. If you are looking for a full and worry-free vacation experience, you might consider an all-inclusive resort that will give you the safety of "communal" living, yet provide the flexibility of structuring a complete experience of your chosen destination.

If you would rather travel to two, three or more cities, then a cruise or escorted tour may be your best choice. Despite the very few incidents that have received exaggerated and sensationalized media attention, cruising is a very safe and enjoyable way to travel even as a single. And of course, there are single cruises that are tailored to the "high end" markets and specifically structured to facilitate single encounters, meaning they won't make you feel uncomfortable, as if you are on the prowl. But it all gets down to basics. Evaluate your travel options by a travel profes- sional to assist you. Do not expose yourself to ques- tionable situations or people. Mingle with like- minded people when deciding which tour ydu plan to take and be aware of your surroundings when you do get to your destina- tion. Hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, etc., do whatever they can to make your travel experiences as safe as they can be, but they cannot cover all eventuali- ties. Your personal safety is, to a significant degree, up to you and should be seriously considered before and during your trip. Here are a few tips that may help make your single (or otherwise) vacation a safe and pleasurable experience. When you check into a hotel, consider introducing yourself to your concierge or doorman and ask him or her a question about services at the resort.

Federal I lw3 Regency Square Stuart 772-288- 330 the conversation, brief and professional. A small tip may help them remember you in the days ahead. Use the hotel/cruise ship safe for money, your travel documents and jewelry. If you use your room safe, be sure you know how to operate it properly. If taking a taxi, always try to originate your ride from your hotel and get direc- tions before you leave the premises. When away from your hotel, try to avoid asking strangers for direc- tions. If you get lost or need help, go to the nearest hotel (the larger the better) and ask for help at the front desk. If traveling interna- tionally in a country where you know neither the language nor the signage, or simply where you cannot decipher the writing, have someone at the hotel write in local script the destina- tion to which you wish to be taken.. Select your return trip cab with caution and always be aware of your surround- ings. A "body purse" or money belt is a good investment Do not show your money (flash cash) foreign or domestic. Worse case scenario: if you are not sure of the money exchange, it is better to leave a little extra money on the table than risk a total loss. Be very careful to whom you give your hotel room or cabin number. Unless the person is a close personal acquaintance, meet people in the lobby or have the hotel operator connect them to your room. If you decide to go out with a special someone that you meet, have him or her pick you up at your hotel. Find your bellman or concierge (whom you met earlier, remember?) and casually mention that you are going out with one of the locals and ask for suggestions about where you might go for a safe and good time. Always remember to be safe in personal encoun- ters. Don't get caught up in the moment. This can get to be more than exciting in a foreign country where perceptions are different. Unfortunately, in these confused days, if you are an American, you could be a target. Keep your wits about you and be aware of your surroundings. If you are uncomfortable in a situa- tion, find the quickest and least conspicuous way out. Wait until the last day before your departure, before giving out your home address or telephone number. You would not want this information forwarded to a professional thief while you are away on vacation. It happens. If traveling abroad and you find yourself in trouble, h See TRAVEL, B9 Friday. March 2. 2007 www.HometownNewsOt.com Port St. Lucie 89 Local partnership MEET TINY wins business workforce award FOR HOMETOWN NEWS A partnership between the Workforce Develop- ment Board of the Treasure Coast, Aegis Communica- tions Group and Arbor Employment and Training earned the 2007 Theodore E. Small Workforce Part- nership Award. The award, presented annually by the National Association of Workforce Boards, recognizes work- force boards and their partners for innovative solutions for issues in their communities. Due to reduced funds, the Workforce Develop- ment Board of the Treasure Coast closed two career centers, one of which was the Port St. Lucie Center, operated by Arbor Employment and Training and used by Aegis, a pri- vate employer. Communication among the three resulted in a One-Stop Career Center within Aegis' facilities. It provides opportunity for local residents to get the assistance they need to find and keep jobs. Aegis pays infrastructure costs and provides recep- tionist support while the workforce system provides staffing, materials and supplies. The partnership decreases Aegis' cost for recruiting new employees and reduces turnover and unemployment claims. The Workforce Board is able to reduce the cost per customer served and placed, allowing the investment of workforce funds in other ways that improve and expand the local workforce services. Since its inception a year ago, the partnership increased the local work- force placement rate by 15 percent, cut the cost per customer served by 53 per- cent and reduced the per placement cost by 67 per- cent, according to a press release. Carol Frischkorn, chair- woman for the Workforce Board, and Gerald Lewis, human resources manager for Aegis, accepted the award in Washington, D.C., Monday.

The Blues Alliance of the Treasure Coast is a non- profit group of musicians, songwriters and blues fans dedicated to sup- porting and promoting the music they love. The Alliance supports all types of music and musicians, including budding ones. The R. Dale Trefelner Music Scholarship pro- gram at Indian River Community College provides $500 each for two students who are studying music. The "Let Us Play" program match- es musical instruments with children who can't afford them "It's a recycling pro- gram," says Alliance secretary Patti Gamble.

In February they helped send solo artist Ben Prestage and the band Nouveaux Honkies to Memphis for the IBC. "We try to do a benefit to offset some of the costs," Ms. Gamble says. It's a way of launching the career. Once they go to IBC, it looks terrific on their resumes. Ben Prestage is playing all over the South. If we send them, they have to be pretty good. It a tough competition and they may have to make more than one trip."

IRCC women's swimming and diving team is going for their 25th consecutive national championship. The men are going for their 32nd in a row. Mitch Kloorfain chief photographer At IRCC, 'The Wall' says it all By Matthew Dewhurst Sports writer When you think of Boston's Fen- way Park, the Green Monster almost certainly comes to mind For Notre Dame, you think of the Golden Dome. At Indian River Community Col- lege, it's "The Wall." Towering over the schools' swim- ming pool and diving well, "The Wall" is covered top to bottom with every one of the program's 56 com- bined National Junior College Ath- letic Association national swim- ming and diving championships. And as the spring approaches, IRCC swimming and diving teams are right on schedule. For more than three decades, IRCC swim- ming and diving has been a nation- al power. Currently, the men's team is look- ing to defend its 32 consecutive National Junior College Athletic Association national champi- onships, while the girls are looking to win their 25th straight title. First year head coach Frank Bradley is handling the pressure of the streak in stride. As hard as it is to downplay the significance of the streak, Bradley, who spent six years as an assistant at the University of South Carolina before joining the Pioneers coaching staff last year, says that it just comes with the ter- ritory at IRCC. , "It's hard to ignore it because it stares you in the face every day, and the trophies are all over campus," said Bradley. "But it's just not some- thing that's always thrown in (the swimmer's) face because it can get old. We just talk about getting bet- ter and if we can do that,,I guess the. rest will take care of itself." IRCC competes against some of -the top swimming programs in the country all year, and that doesn't always mean other junior colleges. In fact, when the team travels to Buffalo, N.Y. on March 7 for the NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, it will be the first junior college competition they will face all season long.

But that is what the pro- gram has developed into over the last 30 years. Swimmers come to the school from all over the country, and some even leave their home country, -to swim for the River. Knowing that they can get a solid start to their aca- demic career only accom- panies the fact that they get used to a Division I type swimming program. When swimmers transfer after two years, most with scholarships to Division I and II schools, they will fit right into that colleges program without missing a beat. "We get to see some of the fastest people in the nation, or in the world for that matter," said sopho- more Amanda Neubig "It's encouraging to see that we can keep up with them." Neubig, who came to the Treasure Coast, from her home state of Oregon, will transfer to the Univer- sity of Hawaii next. year and swim for the Warriors. By having such a diverse group of people on the team, the squad is surpris- ingly close. Almost all the athletes live on campus, which gives the swimmers a sense of family, and unity. Sophomore Scott Baker, who hasn't lost a 50-yard freestyle race this season, says that the tradition "The Wall" .represents is a constant reminder of what generations of swim- mers and divers have established, and the IRCC swimming community they are a part of. "You don't want to be the first one (to lose the national championship). It pushes you. Every day in practice you se that wall, you want to go faster,", Briefs From page Cl Treasure Coast Rugby looking for members The Treasure Coast Pirates Rugby Club is looking for new players.

We make sure that we always say, 'even though were not family in blood, we're brothers in the water.'" Maybe it is that feeling of family and the "us ver- sus the world" approach that keeps the swimmers- so humble and almost low key when it March comes around. As much as they notice "The Wall," they, seem to be thinking about, the NJACC-national cham- pionships as just another: meet a meet they expect to win. . "I think the pressure is, from ourselves actually,'" said sophomore Nataliat Buso, who is hoping to break the national record of 16 minutes and 55 sec- onds for the mile (1650, yards) freestyle.

SThis season, you will have to go see the New York Mets if you want to see him in a baseball uni- f6rm. 'The Hobe Sound resi- dent was named the Mets' first base coach this winter. Johnson, 46, will be making a return to the team he made his name with as a baseball player. Johnson played 14 sea- sons in the major leagues, riine as the Mets third baseman. He also played three seasons with the Detroit Tigers and one season apiece with he Chicago Cubs and Col- orado Rockies. And after spending nearly 10 years as a minor league coach, 2007 will be Johnson's first as a major league coach. "It's been great so far," Johnson said recently at the Mets' spring training facility in Port St. Lucie. "Everyone looks healthy and excited for the upcoming season and of course it's exciting for me because it's my first year in the big leagues. The team has a chance to be in the World Series again, so that's pretty awesome." Johnson, whose son Glen is a senior at South- Fork and the, ,Bulldogs starting shortstop, has been one of head coach Mike Harpers assistants the last two years. John- son helped with every- thing from batting instruction to donations to raking the infield after practice. Harper calls Johnson his 'jack-of-all- trades' and one of the biggest members of the South Fork family. ".The fact that Johnson has a wealth of baseball knowledge and experi- ence is second to how great an influence he has been on the team said Harper. ,So when Johnson got the call from the Mets telling him he had been hired as the team's first blase coach, Harper wasn't surprised at all. ,"There was no doubt in my mind that he could be a' big league coach," Harper said. "He's good people." Johnson was the hitting coach for AAA Norfolk in 2S05-6 and had stints With AA Birmingham, Brooklyn and St. Lucie as sWell. 'But the call to join the coaching staff for the team he ranks third in career home runs (192) came as a double bless- img. Not only does he get ta coach in the major leagues but since spring training is in nearby Port St. Lucie. He can still fol- 1lw his former team pret- ty closely. S"(Coaching for South Fork was) a little different (than the Mets) but it was fun," said Johnson. "It's fen to watch them get better and (the major leagues) is where they YOUR LOCAL NEWS & INFORMATION SOURCE HometownNews Former major league All- Star Howard Johnson was named the New York Mets' first base coach this offseason. For the past two years Johnson has been South Fork High School's third base coach, where his son is the team's starting shortstop. Photo submitted by Jim Fertitta want to be one day, so it's great. I get to see the top guys and get to see the high school kids too... it's fun that I'm able to be around and do that." On Feb. 28, the Bulldogs hosted a surprise party for their former coach before a big game against Palm Beach Gardens. The date coincided with the Mets opening day at Tra- dition Stadium. The sendoff date served as a perfect transition from one coaching staff to another. But now Johnson must get down to business as he once again hopes to help his team to a World Series title as he did in 1986 when the Mets defeated the Boston Red Sox in seven games. "All (iAhm w1 Last season the Mets were one game from win- ning the National League pennant and advancing to the World Series. They lost to the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, four games to three in the National League Championship Series. "The expectations are high and we set the stan- dard pretty high around here nowadays. The chances are good for us if we stay healthy to repeat as division winners and get further, and that's the goal," Johnson said. "The organization has been great to me and I love the guys here, and I pretty much want to end my career as a Met and this is the way to do it."

If you are one of the nearly 6 million men with erectile dysfunction for whom pills don't work, learn how the Internal Penile Pump restores normal sexual function. Oral medications such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis are successful in restoring erections for 65% of the 20 million American men who are affected by erectile dysfunction (ED). However, a third of all those suffering from ED require a more advanced treatment option: fewer than 50% of men with diabetes and fewer than 40% of men after "The Internal P prostate cancer the best optio, treatment respond respond to oral ED medication.

During the course of a 45 minute outpatient pro- cedure, the pump is inserted through a Penile Pu n for mei to media one-inch opening in the scrotal sac. By squeezing the pump (which is contained completely within the scrotum), for approximately a minute, fluid is pumped into the penis, resulting in a long lasting erection. To return the penis to its flac- cid state, simply press and hold down the pump. Once inserted, there is no maintenance required for the mp is currently pump which can n who do not remain in place cation." for a lifetime. The control and quality you want; the pleasure your partner will appreciate. The highlight of this treatment is that it restores the patient's control over his body, so that he is able to obtain and -maintain an erection at will.

BY MATT DEWHURST Sports writer The Treasure Coast High School baseball team needed to jump- start its season. On Feb. 23 they did just that to post the programs first- ever victory. In the sixth inning against St. Lucie West Centennial, Titans sophomore Danny Davis knocked home the winning runs with a two- run double to right, en route to a 3-1, on the road against the Eagles. Treasure Coast (1-4) struggled in its first four games, despite showing signs of potential. The team, which features only four juniors, looked more like a group of veterans, as they fought back, from a 1-0 deficit. "We've been on the brink of winning other games, and they've known it," said head coach Ryan Smith. "They didn't get upset when they were losing because they knew they had the potential to win games." Davis and his older brother Paul transferred form Fort Pierce Central to Treasure Coast this year and both agree that the switch has been positive. Paul even called it the "best decision he ever made." Being part of a first year program has had its bumps, but the hope of starting a baseball tradition at Treasure Coast keeps the brothers inspired. "I actually like it better," said Danny. "With all the guys com- ing in from different schools, it's hard to come together. But we're doing a great job." Paul, who is junior, and the team's starting shortstop, has been thrown in to a leadership role a year ahead of most of his peers. Because the school is in its first year, they won't have seniors until next fall. But he likes the pressure of leading a young squad against teams that are more experienced. And the team can look for- ward to returning its entire roster next year. "It's a lot of fun, I've always considered myself a leader," said the elder Davis. "I like the respon- sibility of being a leader and it's just a lot of fun, we just go out there and scrape and hope for the 'W.'" Smith reiterated that the win against Centen- nial was just the first step, and the he expects big things from the program in the near future. "The positives and negatives I learn from. I'm still learning from them," said Smith. "The guys I have on the team are such great kids... they're not just great players, they're great kids."

According to a recent survey, only 30 percent of all golfers have a hybrid golf club in their bag. That number is about to jump significantly higher. For years I refused to try hybrids. I was convinced that I still had the game and talent to hit long irons. A few months back, I joined the 30 percent or so of us who have seen the light. The latest hybrids are simply too easy to hit. If you want a high, straight ball flight from myriad lies, without the usual difficulty associated with hitting long irons, hybrids are for you. Hybrids have come a long way in the past couple of years, and now it seems that every manufacturer has at least one model in its lineup. Even the pros are replac- ing their long irons with these easy-to-hit won- ders. Higher handicap ama- teurs and ladies reap the most benefit from hybrids. Nancy Lopez Golf has a line specifically designed for the female golfer. The company's Erinn Series hybrid irons use the smaller hybrid head with an iron-length shaft resulting in more control and playability that conventional fairway woods or long irons. At Tour Edge, you can JAMES STAMMER Golf columnist select from an entire set of hybrids for your bag. The Chicago area compa- ny offers hybrids all the way from long iron replacements to lob wedges. Many golfers start out with the longer clubs and as they become more accomplished with them, replace more of their regular sticks. Tour Edge's Exotic line features hybrids with moveable weighting, allowing golfers to set up the club to better help their ball flight and control. With the compa- ny's Bazooka JMAX QL, the weighting is fixed in the ideal position to aid most golfers and help you simply hit the ball high, straight and long. One of golf's greatest designing mind s Jis esse Ortiz. His line of hybrids, from Bobby Jones Golf, features a better- engi- neered heel area and a hot face area. Ortiz believes that many of the problems people have with hybrids from the rough is that the heel area catches the turf too soon and closes the.face of the The Finest Italian Tiles & Stone Full Design Center Lowest Prices & Best QualityGuaranteed! www.procidatile.com 0 AM radio station.

With his design, the heel area doesn't have a chance to grab and the golfer is more likely to make better contact from any lie. On the Champions Tour, Adams Golf is one of the most popular hybrid lines. The company offers a forged hybrid with fantastic feel for the better player, and a more forgiving model with a bit of offset and lower weighting for the recre- ational player. These were the first hybrids to make by bag and I often find myself wondering why I waited so long to put them there. Bridgestone Golf unveiled its GC Hybrid utility clubs. These hybrids feature a design that removes weight from a chamber at the center of the sole and moves it to the heel and toe areas for a higher MOI and more workability. These beauties feature a progressive leading edge design, where the leading edge of the club gets sharper as the loft increases, preventing skipping off the turf with the higher lofted models. At the show's demo day,, I made a point of hitting several different hybrids. Callaway's latest X Hybrid was perhaps the best performer for me. The new sole design adds versatility and helps the club get through even the toughest of lies and make solid contact. At the company's media event, I used the pair in my demo bag to hit some shots with very pleasing results. Taylor Made's new line of hybrids uses the company's draw technol- ogy to help players get the club square at impact. The heads, coupled with a hotter face, are also 12 percent larger than last year's for greater forgive- ness. Orlimar Golf is trying to eliminate your slice. The new ZX Anti-Slice line has dramatically more offset than standard hybrids. When combined with an" ultra-hot face and heel bias weighting, the recreational golfer will find a club that is extremely easy to hit long and straight. While most hybrids appear similar, there are two distinct types: more compact, iron-like hybrids and larger, more fairway wood-like mod- els. Nickent Golf's senior vice president, John Hoeflich suggests that golfers demo both before deciding which one to put in their bag. b "I would ask a golfer what his favorite club is for a 170-yard shot. If he says 4-iron, I'd direct him toward an iron-like hybrid. If he says 7-wood, then a more wood-like utility club is probably right," said Hoeflich. It's time for most of us to say goodbye to those long irons and join the growing crowd. You may find that not only do you hit them better, but you enjoy hitting those longer shots. I'm glad that I finally tried hybrids, and they now have a secure spot in my bag. It's time you put that same smile on your face.
