From Ginny Sherlock, renowned local attorney, civic activist, and former Associated Press editor: The Martin County Board of County Commissioners will decide whether to approve an application to construct a cell tower on the Little Club Condominium property on Tuesday, despite objections from a competing cell tower operator who earlier received approval for another cell tower in the same area. Commissioners also will finally confirm appointments to the Domestic Animal Control Task Force that was established following a Martin County Sheriff's investigation of complaints about inadequate treatment and unnecessary euthanasia of animals at the Palm City shelter operated by the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast.
On the good news front, Commissioners will hear an update on the County's legal fight against All Aboard Florida. Martin and Indian River Counties scored a victory in federal court last week when a U.S. District Judge denied motions to dismiss lawsuits aimed at reversing government approvals of tax-exempt private activity bonds (PABs) to finance the high-speed rail project. A 39-page memorandum opinion issued by the court included, among other findings, a conclusion that Phase II of the AAF project (West Palm Beach to Orlando) may not be built if PABs are not available to provide funding. Staff will offer an update on the battle against AAF as Agenda Item 8C1, a 30-minute presentation that has, unfortunately, not been given a pre-set time.
Commissioners will focus on another battle beginning at 9:30 a.m., when Agenda Item 8B2 will be heard. This item is an application by Dynamic Towers to erect a 120-foot cell tower in the Little Club Condominium community. Tuesday's hearing is a continuation of a public hearing that began during the July 26 meeting. The Little Club Condo Association previously intervened to oppose another cell tower, the Kenai tower, that was approved in the same area. Kenai Properties, LLC, returned the favor by intervening in opposition to the Dynamic Towers application that is now being heard. After several hours of testimony and presentations by staff, Dynamic Towers, Little Club, and Kenai, the July 26 hearing was continued until Tuesday.
Kenai won the race to Commission chambers, scoring approval of its application over objections from neighboring residents when its proposal was set for hearing weeks before the Little Club's competing application was placed on the Agenda. Opponents claim the Kenai tower does not meet County requirements as a "stealth" tower, but it was approved by Commissioners Smith, Haddox and Fielding (with Commissioners Heard and Scott opposed) after a last-minute change to reduce the height to 80 feet. Staff is now advising Commissioners they cannot approve the Little Club tower unless they find that it complies with a rule that prohibits construction of new towers when an existing or approved tower is already located in the same area where equipment can be "co-located" on a single structure.
The only other pre-set item on Tuesday's agenda is Item 7A, the Rivers Conditions Update, which will be presented at 2:30 p.m.
Despite significant public interest and attendance at meetings regarding animal care services for which County taxpayers pay HSTC $560,000-a-year, Agenda Item 5C has not been given a pre-set time. The Commission voted on June 21 to establish a Domestic Animal Control Task Force to review County policies, contracts and ordinances related to treatment and disposition of stray and feral animals. Now, two months later, the Commission is being asked to finally confirm appointments to the Task Force, which has lost many weeks of critically short time to begin its work. The HSTC contract expires September 30. The MCSO investigation found probable cause to charge at least seven individuals at the Palm City shelter with criminal animal cruelty, but the State Attorney's Office declined to prosecute. The Task Force is charged with determining the best way to manage taxpayer-funded animal care services. Due to the delay in getting the Task Force up and running, meaningful recommendations will not be made to the Commission in time to save many healthy, treatable or adoptable animals that are denied veterinary treatment or are put to death at the HSTC shelter.
The Task Force is to be comprised of one appointee named by each of the five commissioners, one veterinarian, and a designated representative of the Martin County Sheriff's Animal Control Division. Each of the commissioners has named an appointee. Only one veterinarian, Dr. Sara Mathews, submitted an application by the July 22 deadline. Dr. Mathews is an experienced shelter veterinarian and shelter medicine consultant who is an ideal candidate for appointment to the Task Force. Staff ignored the deadline to add Dr. Rex Sentell on the ballot for selection as the veterinarian member of the Task Force. Dr. Sentell submitted his application less than a week ago, on August 16, and listed an HSTC Board member as a reference. He lists no shelter medicine experience on his resume.
Agenda Item 6B is one of the more absurd matters to come before the BCC. The Martin County Environmental Control Board, consisting of all five members of the BCC and established by the Martin County Environmental Control Act of 1974, must meet at least once every 12 months. Meetings are held in August of each year, and the BCC is being asked on Tuesday to convene as the Environmental Control Board for the sole purpose of scheduling the next meeting in August 2017. The County does not appear to be implementing the ordinance, which should either be updated or tossed out.
In other matters on Tuesday's agenda:
– Item 8B1 seeks approval of the Loggerhead Subdivision Plat for a 12-lot single-family home development on SW 34th Street in Palm City. This item has been twice continued from earlier meetings .
– Item 8B3 is a request to vacate a previously approved plat for a 13-lot industrial subdivision at the intersection of SW Farm Road and SW Silver Fox Lane in Indiantown. The Prism Business Park was never developed, and the land remains vacant. The plat needs to be vacated to allow the property to be sold or developed under a new proposal.
– Item 8B4 is an application for plat approval for a 38-lot single-family residential subdivision between SW Lost River Road and SW Kantner Road called Tidewater Point. Staff has done an excellent job of reviewing this project to ensure compliance with County codes and regulations.
Let your commissioners know how you feel about these and other issues by attending the BCC meeting beginning at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday in Commission Chambers or by e-mailing commissioners at firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, and firstname.lastname@example.com, with copies to the County Administrator and County Attorney at email@example.com and email@example.com.

Human Skin Can Smell Things
An article just published within the pages of the latest issue of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology reveals that human skin has the ability to smell itself as well as other odours. This new study furthermore found out that skin heals better from injury in a pleasant-smelling environment. This truly fascinating study gives weight to prior research which maintained that human olfactory receptors, which in fact are specialized proteins for the detection of scents, are not found only in the nasal passages.
Technical University of Munich chemist, Peter Schieberle remarked that, in fact humans employ nasal olfactory receptors for scent detection on a relatively small scale, because it is now believed that various odours could have differing functions for various body areas.
The study group indeed found that these olfactory receptors are present in human blood, and in the lungs and the heart, while Weizmann Institute of Science study leader Ester Feldmesser believes that such receptors are widespread throughout the human body, this latest research showing definitively that such cells exist within the outermost layer of human skin, called the epidermis.
The research team involved identified five different types of olfactory receptors in the predominant human skin cells – known as keratinocytes – and furthermore succeeded in cloning a cell dubbed OR2AT4. These cloned receptors were then exposed to a synthetic Sandalwood scent – Sandalore – which appeared to cause the cells affected to generate the calcium-signalling cascade – characteristic of wound healing – which substantially increses new cell production and migration.
This led the research team to conclude that damaged skin, id subjected to a pleasant smelling environment, is likely to heal more quickly, because somehow the presence of the scent molecules somehow stimulates interaction between nerve cells and the predominant skin cells. It seems that the Sandalwood smell id particularly effective, as yet another study just published – in the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics – reveals that East Indian sandalwood oil causes pre-cancerous cells in skin to die.
One scientist commented that Sandalwood oils are renowned for anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, among others, so are widely seen as beneficial to health, and indeed, for at least 4,000 years, this oil has been highly valued as a medicinal agent as well as an attractive perfume. South Dakota State University Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences head, Chandradhar Dwivedi revealed that the oil had proved very good at preventing skin cancer caused by chemicals and by UV radiation.
What the new research amply demonstrates is that our bodies are far more sensitive to smell – all over – than we might ever have realised, and though tests are still ongoing, it does point the way to possible new skin problem treatments, once the full story is known.

Obama, Federal Gov't abuse of power, impeachment of Obama, &secession, any thoughts?
Obama, Federal Gov't abuse of power, impeachment of Obama, &secession, any thoughts?
I think him and his cabinet should be impeached immediatly with how many times he has trampled the constitution IMO.
The problem is we have to go after a few more then Obama, at least Reid, Pelosi and Biden also need to go, in fact to be safe maybe anyoe whose political career has been nothing but slamming and passing blame to the other partyneeds to be kicked out.
He and they have the support of the uninformed, hopefully they will learn by the next election we have to be strong & independent and not lazy & suck off the government's tit if we want to remain the safe, strong and free nation America prides it's self on being.
My church will have a Valentine's dinner Feb. 16, and one of our local judges will do a presentation of the Wreck of the Old '97, and it reminded me of how much better off we are than our ancestors. One hundred years ago, people lived hard lives, and work was often dangerous. Steam engines often blew up killing the engineer and other personal. Home owners had to shovel coal into their furnaces in the winter, and open the windows and put up the screens for the summer. People's lives were much shorter. There was no such thing as insulin for diabetics, blood pressure medicine, and cancer patients simply died.
Families lived together, three generations in one house because money was short, and there was no health care. The younger generation nursed their parents or grandparents until they died. I'm 65 and old enough to have experienced much of this.
Our government is not perfect, and they often frustrate me. I fear our government overspending, and I'm very concerned that labor is being replaced by robotics. The country as we know it is going to change more in the next 30 years than one can possibly imagine, and we must learn to change with it and adapt, just as our parents and grandparents did.
To want to impeach one person, or one party misses the issues which every free nation must grapple with. Every job which is artificially created puts seed money into what could be a crashing economy. Instead, the economy is slowly turning around, but major problems are given birth as a result. As each problem emerges, new solutions will have to be found, and there will be no easy answers. The world population is growing, and third world nations are becoming industrialized, giving us competition we've never before experienced.
Most of you on this site are the younger generation, and it will be up to you to find intelligent solutions. Mouthing platitudes will not accomplish anything, and will only misdirect you from finding creative solutions. The ball is in your court. My generation did the best it could given the circumstances.
I think it was Andrew Jackson that said something like, "The people should always have a right to bear arms to protect themselves from the government."
I personally do not own a gun. I don't believe I'd need to own one. If a government would ban guns from the people, and the government and other authorities would only be allowed, you never know what would happen.
Not everyone would believe a government would do that to its own people, but would you put the government in absolute control of your way of life?
It seems like recently, the worse a tragedy, the less information you'd get from it.
Basically, what I think, is that you can not legislate human moral. If people don't care enough about their fellow man and are only concerned about themselves and what they can get, then a solution will never arise. Looking to a government to provide the answer is like surrendering your right to it. Abraham Lincoln wrote in the Gettysburg address "government of the people, by the people, for the people". He did not say a government OVER the people. The government answer to US, and WE must care for each other.
just my
so i am going to just quickly state something Obama is not taking your guns away he asked congress ( who ultimately make a decision ) to pass a bill in which would make the background tests needed to get a gun the same nation wide so it isn't easyer getting a gun in one state than it is another he also asked congress to pass a bill that would limit your magazine size to under 30 rounds ( do you really think you will ever NEED 30 rounds in your clip honestly
i look forward to hearing your comments

i look forward to hearing your comments
While I'm not as educated in the political system as I'd like to be, I would note that Obama and all his predecessors have continued a trend that was really set into motion by some of the first presidents we ever had. I believe that the federal government does not have any more power than it is granted in the constitution and despite whatever party is in power it has been hammered away at since the Alien and Sedition Acts. Whether it is the unlawful internment of Japanese citizens or the passing of the Patriot Act, the federal government does not and should not have the power to override the Bill of Rights. I believe that states should have the right to nullify any unconstitutional regulations or laws passed down at the federal level and would support the impeachment of a government official who fails to acknowledge the unalienable rights protected by the Bill of Rights.

British pop star Sam Smith has been named MTV's artist of the year (14).
The Stay With Me hitmaker has topped the music network's Best Artists of 2014 list, beating Beyonce to the top spot, just days after he landed six Grammy Award nominations.
Explaining why Smith has been given the prestigious honour, MTV bosses write, "The tear-stained agony of a love unrequited on Stay With Me captured the imagination of heartbroken Americans like it was the second coming of Adele's Someone Like You. Still, the most remarkable part of that success might be that this relatable message was communicated by a gay man."
Beyonce came second in the top ten, and the statement adds, "She dominated our conversations. Our thoughts. Our text messages. Our dreams. She performed one of the most thrilling live shows of the year on her On The Run Tour."
Following the pair in the rundown are Taylor Swift in third, Iggy Azalea in fourth, and Ariana Grande in fifth place.

In politics as in war, it is more difficult to execute a retreat than to go on the offensive. President Clinton's retreat from ill-conceived attempts to base U.S. trade policy with China on the human rights record of the hardline Beijing regime is one of the most difficult calls he has made since taking office. But his decision was correct and courageous. It shores up the U.S. position in Asia and actually promotes a trend toward individual liberty in China that is linked to a booming economy.
That Mr. Clinton is taking catcalls from the likes of Senate majority leader George Mitchell and House majority leader Richard Gephardt says more about what is wrong with the president's party than about the president. The Democrats continue to be tugged into untenable positions by protectionists, Big Labor and self-appointed moralists and causists. As a candidate for the White House, Mr. Clinton went along with their get-tough tactics toward China and even accused George Bush of "coddling" the Beijing masterminds of the Tiananmen Square massacre. As president, he has felt the need to echo Mr. Bush's admonition that the United States must "avoid isolating China."
The reasons are clear enough. China is a nuclear power with veto authority in the U.N. Security Council. It is the world's most populous nation with the world's fastest-growing economy. It has more influence than any other country over a North Korean regime suspected of building a nuclear weapons arsenal. It will take possession of Hong Kong later in this decade, a step with enormous ramifications in Asia. Just before the Clinton decision, China eliminated 195 quota and license regulations in preparation for joining the World Trade Organization -- a step toward drawing closer to the international community in other productive ways.

Social Security Disability (SSD) is only given to those who meet some essential requirements. Basically, you have to prove that due to a physical or mental condition, you are no longer able to perform any type of job. Not just that, it is only available to U.S. citizens. A lot of things will be considered before deciding whether you are entitled to Social Security Disability, which includes your capacity, your education, your age and your work experience. Furthermore, it is generally required for a separate agency to declare you disabled as well. In doing this, you will significantly strengthen your case for employment. Five requirements have to be met. First thing is that you cannot currently be working and earning. Two, a significant impairment must be demonstrable. Three, a medical professional must be able to demonstrate your impairment. Next, you must have been unable to work because of it for 15 years. Lastly, you must be able to demonstrate that there is no job that you are able to do.
It is no longer possible to receive disability due to substance addiction. Disability payments do exist for children, however, even if they are too young to have ever worked. Several medical conditions often also allow for the benefit to be paid, including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. However, you will have to pay for the costs of providing that these conditions are present.
So is it beneficial to hire a lawyer if you want to apply for SSD? You must be aware of both the advantages and disadvantages before making this decision. Legal representation is not always necessary. Furthermore, legal representation is often very expensive, which is something not everybody is able to afford. However, those with legal representation are generally more successful. The most a social security disability lawyer is able to charge you for representation is a quarter of past benefits, with a top limit of $4,000. Although this is a substantial amount of money, you may not have to pay as much if your claim doesn't go back very far. It is important to understand that a attorney is better able to work on your behalf and get all the information that is required. They know what sort of medical information is needed and who can provide that. They can generally determine whether or not your case is going to be successful and they know who to contact in order to get any information needed to support you. Because of all of this, most people would suggest that you should seek legal representation if you can, since the only thing standing in your way potentially is the cost.

Not only did you teach me to fly with confidence Chris, your hovercraft has given me a sense of freedom that I know only you and other Hovertrek pilots can understand. I can't part with such a beautiful machine.
March 12, 2015:
I got the new belt on and hovered again in snow. I am loving my Neoteric! I have had some firefighters ask me to do a demo for training purposes. I might be able to sell one to them – not mine, though; I'm going to keep it! I am still interested in being a flight trainer if you wanted to send possible Canadian buyers here. If you are near Perth some day, drop in. I would love to show you my hover grounds.
Thanks again for your wonderful craft and flight training. I am hooked!

Ready to embark on a two-week, 1,200+ mile trip with his family across the province of Alberta, Colin Steadman said, "It's never been done. We're looking to see parts of Alberta that no one's ever seen on a vehicle that no one's ever used before. Being able to fly through dinosaur territory on a hovercraft – no one's ever done that.
"A hovercraft really has all the characteristics of a helicopter and an airplane, but you can fly it on water, you can fly it on ice, snow, sand. And the Neoteric is the BMW of hovercraft!"
Colin Steadman
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"I am still entirely enjoying Neo on and around Lake Havasu, Arizona. This is the perfect terrain for recreational hovercrafting, with plenty of flat lands, beaches, water, and river areas to explore. The Neoteric can easily maneuver in areas not accessible to other boaters. While passing near some of the shorelines, I often see a lot of faces being obscured by cameras and
smartphones! This is fun!"
VIDEO: Cruise the Colorado River with Gary …
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know I love my hovercraft! The Mississippi is really low and the hovering is excellent. You should come down for a few days and try it out. Would be a great time to get some drone footage. Had a boat cut out of the river channel the other day to get some footage of my craft and they ran aground! I should not have laughed but I did.
I am two years from retiring and wish there was something I could do with your company and marketing and selling hovercrafts when I retire. People are just really missing out on the experience and the amazing abilities of these crafts. There should be a way to build them cheaper and open a lower level market.
Anyway, I love my Neoteric and have been very pleased with my Hypalon bags. The only tears have been when unloading the craft on those front rollers.
Let's catch up sometime.
Take care,
Barry Eison
December 15, 2014:
"I took the hovercraft out on the Mississippi River on Friday afternoon and deliberately targeted rough waters (barge wakes, small whirlpools, traversing small rapids over rock dikes, swift current) and the craft performed absolutely flawlessly. The more I use it the more impressed with it I am. My only regret is that I wish that I had ordered the six person craft versus the four person.
You may want to pass this on to other clients who purchase your hovercraft in the future. Do not take the training manual home and set it on a shelf. Print it, put it in a notebook and READ IT. Everything you need to know about the craft is enclosed! It has been a godsend for me."
November 12, 2014:
"The hovercraft has performed very well on the Mississippi River and in and around the barge traffic we encounter. I was able to harvest my first deer from an area that I was previously unable to access but can now using the hovercraft. The state game wardens think it is fascinating and have given me the green light to use it freely on land or water within their motorized vehicle guidelines."
August 27, 2014:
1) I love this machine. The more I use it, the more I realize the engineering and research & development that went into its development.
2) I want to experiment with different material for the bags.
3) This craft would be easy to learn to drive if someone drove it who had never driven anything else.
4) I am becoming quite confident with it and absolutely cannot wait to get it out hunting this winter. It has already opened up areas that I have hunted my entire life but have never been able to access.
Well done, Neoteric, well done."
"We're using our hovercraft to get back and forth from the island to the mainland when the water's not frozen enough to walk on or it's too hard to put a boat on. With the hovercraft, we're good to go whenever we want. Before, we either had to stay home for weeks, or go away for weeks, waiting for the water to freeze.
Chris, you were right; the craft on ice is tricky. I liken it to a rocket ship in space where the inertia is exponential. But it works beautifully, across the ice to the water.
My training course at Hovercraft Training Centers was excellent! It was a lot different than I'd imagined – kind of like an airplane or helicopter that can spin on a dime and go backwards and forwards and sideways. I was surprised at how maneuverable the hovercraft was. Going along the shore, I was able to maneuver around stumps and through things with the reverse thrust buckets, then come up and touch the bank, then back away and come up and touch it again. You're nine inches above the surface – it was great!"
Walt Sitz built his hovercraft from a Neoteric kit and will use it to help others. His aircraft business, Eagle Wings, Inc., belongs to Crisis Response International, a non-profit organization that conducts humanitarian missions worldwide.
"My interest in hovercraft peaked after I was deployed to New York after Hurricane Sandy. You can try to row a boat through flood debris, but if I can deploy with a hovercraft, that's what will be used – it's a natural addition. And your reverse thrust system – you need that kind of control. I want to push the usefulness of this amazing machine."
January 28, 2014:
"I have about 10 hours of operation so far and everything is working perfectly, starts right up. I'm getting more comfortable in hovering it in a tight place with the use of the reverse thrust buckets and proper throttle. You can do some really precise maneuvering when you have these working together. It's awesome – a big smile comes across my face when I get it right. These machines are absolutely amazing!"
"I took my wife out in it and she really liked it! We were on ice because the lakes here are still frozen over. Pat is an ice skater, and she said it was like dancing on ice! All we were missing was the music! We're really excited about all the potential it has. I can't emphasize enough how much we like it, Chris!"
"I've been putting the hours on the hovercraft down here on the Wabash River flood plains near New Harmony the last few days. I've attached a video of the Wabash at just above 20 ft. on the New Harmony gauge. Hovered over 35 miles today in Illinois and Indiana - amazing amount of water out there.
The hovercraft is AWESOME!! Amazing machine. I think you could sell some to the oil field industry down here. Dozens and dozens of oil wells on platforms in the flood plains around this area. The oil pumpers are out in aluminum boats and waders trying to keep them all serviced. They've videotaped me and asked me a lot of questions as I buzz around them, taunting them at their plight. One guy said they bought an ARGO (amphibious ATV) but of course that is like riding a snail in the ocean."
August 27, 2012
"The hovercraft has been back in action! This photo was taken on a sandbar in the Wabash River about 25 miles south of New Harmony. I've been cruising at 25-30 mph up and down the river routinely now; the rides are amazing early in the morning when the water is like glass! You have an open invitation to come down to New Harmony and hover!"
September 24, 2012
"Neoteric's Reverse Thrust System remains a MAJOR selling point, in my opinion. You are still in business and providing customer support. (exceptional support, I might add)."
April 9, 2012
"Thanks again for the reverse thrust buckets. Without them a hovercraft would be a low-flying helicopter out of control."
March 30, 2012
"Amazing! Everything is going great. I'm using the hovercraft mainly on snow, but can't wait for the snow to melt so I can try it on water. The hovercraft would be no fun without the reverse buckets."
January 11, 2012
"Just wanted you to know that my Neoteric hovercraft is still running like new! I have 100 hours on it now. That is a lot of trips out on the ice, as it only takes a few minutes to get to some of the spots. It sure is great security. I only run it in the winter for ice fishing on the Mississippi. I'm still on my first set of skirts, but have replaced the semi tarp on the bottom several times. My favorite things are the reverse thrust buckets – they're working like the day I bought the craft! I love the design of the trailer. My tach reads 1000 rpm; high, but no big deal. If there is a way to get it back on track, give me a call."
"Since I purchased my Hovertrek for ice fishing in Jan 2000, we have flown 25 hours and caught over 6000 bluegill & crappies. It's a real nice machine, a lot of fun. Last weekend we went to Devil Lake in North Dakota and caught 120 perch. We operated in a blizzard but just kept going. We had a really good time. I want you to know that I really like my hovercraft."
November 6, 2011
I bought this hovercraft just so I could go over thin ice on the lake I live on. I have never ridden in a hovercraft, much less seen one operate in person, so I thought it would be a good idea to take Neoteric's one day Pilot Training Course before I jumped in and bought one. As it turned out, I bought the partially assembled hovercraft kit beforehand so I would not have to make two trips to Terre Haute.
I was expecting that flying the hovercraft would be as easy as driving a car on ice. I had flown a private airplane for years and had watched many YouTube videos of the hovercraft in action so I thought I knew quite a bit. Now I know that it would not be a good idea to self teach yourself. You also need to know the theory on how it works, or else you will be scratching your head wondering what happened.
The training course showed me that flying a hovercraft is not as intuitive as I had expected. Some aspects of piloting the hovercraft were much more challenging while others were easier. For example, on water the hovercraft does not always hover. If the weight balance is off or if the skirt catches water the hovercraft would not rise. It takes power and speed to get over hump and get hovering. After it gets up, the craft slides like wet soap in a bathtub. Even with reduced power the speed can climb unexpectedly.
Slow speed handling was a pleasant surprise. In one maneuver we gently nudged a bridge on a moving river. Controlling the hovercraft was much easier than I expected and very smooth. There are many things to control all at the same time, such as RPM, rudder, reverse thrust and where you put your weight. And you need to be aware of the wind, current and lots of obstacles.
The Neoteric hovercraft is the only one I know that has reverse thrust. The craft can hover in place, spin like a top or even back up. Try doing that in any other hovercraft! Amazing technology really, and all with only one fan. The cool thing was flying over floating logs and vegetation - try doing that in a boat.
Landing on shore was just cool. No more dragging my boat up the shore, knee deep in mud. I am looking forward to maneuvering around the changing shores of the Missouri River. After the big flood this summer, there are new hidden reefs, trees and rocks. For a boat, that is a nightmare … for a hovercraft, it is a dream.

"It's so beautiful...its
a blast!"
"I hover nearly every weekend and have clocked up some good experience, 50+ hours. I have been in Gale Force 3 conditions: 0.5m – 1 m waves and winds around 35km/h in Durban Harbour. (SA Hovercraft took their craft out of the water.) It really was fun – challenging, but fun. The wind was too strong to drive straight into the wind and waves, but tacking worked well and WOW this hovercraft can surf on the waves!"
"I'm Rich Stuart's son, and I took our hovercraft out the other day on Geist Lake, which is totally frozen over, and it was a complete blast! I love how much easier the craft skims across the ice than the water. Do you have any hovercraft trips planned soon? My dad and I would be very interested in exploring a river or something like that with other hovercraft enthusiasts."
"Back in 1988 we drove to your factory in Terre Haute, bought the Racer Hovercraft Kit, and have used it ever since at our remote cabin in Canada. We have been very satisfied with the hovercraft, its performance, and your company. With Rae now being 73 and myself nearly there, we decided we'd better not risk long periods in the remote during the "ice out season" anymore. Those were some memorable events and we were able to have them with the hovercraft as our emergency vehicle.
We have the hovercraft listed on eBay, where it is getting a lot of attention . over a thousand lookers and more than 50 have it on their list to watch. Some are asking questions and we are mentioning your web site in our answers. Yours is the most impressive site on the Web; it's informative, covers every aspect, and is exciting. We hope many others will visit the site and all take a trip to Terre Haute.
Thanks again for all the help you were to us. Owning one of your hovercraft was an exciting part of our lives."
"Last Saturday
and Sunday we got to
run the hovercraft though
it was windy[over 15
knots] and rough. It's
a wonderful little machine,
booming all around the
place, fun machine,
wonderful device, very
well thought out..."

"I have flown the hovercraft a
few times in my field (open and flat)
and am practicing slow speed land maneuvers
like loading and unloading from trailer
as well as getting use to the thrust
buckets etc. Having a great time and
really enjoying the craft, it is an
excellent machine."

Everything went great on the trip
home. The trailer worked perfect. The
best trailer I have ever hauled! My son
and I really appreciate the time you spent
with us at the shop and in training. I
am looking forward to more experience
in my hovercraft. I think the quality
of workmanship as well as the engineering
in the craft are second to none. Thanks
again for a great experience.

"Went out for about 2 + hours
on Saturday and did quite a distance.
Explored a nearby river to the township
of Katikati then went out and claimed
an Island and a sandbank so we now have
a Neoteric Island and sandbar! Trust
everyone at Neoteric is impressed with
their new claim.
It is really a great machine; the more
I drive it the better I like it. I was
not impressed with the Neoteric trailer
at first glimpse, although I must admit
that it became very clear that it was
practical after our first outing.
Congratulations on a fine design and
well thought out craft. I must say it
is comforting to have a full set of
instruments; maybe a volt meter would
be useful in the future. Cheers from
a happy owner."

"Had a couple of interesting
moments driving [the Hovercraft] down
the water. One in particular where [the
craft] just wanted to side swipe the
hedge, but after a serious chat to it,
it settled down and behaved. I did a
test out in front to reacquaint myself
with the controls, etc., and then took
Rose for a short flight. All was good
so we stopped for a while, put on the
head phones, and hovered up the estuary.
We did a couple of 360s, and a little
bit of backwards movement. Great craft
- I am really pleased with it. Thanks
a bunch. "
"Craft is running
great, and I've been exploring the icy
lakes here [Northern Indiana]. I told
my wife if I were selling Hovertreks,
I think I could have sold two last week,
based on the crowd of enthusiasts that
practically followed me into the parking
lots at the boat ramp."
I'm very happy with my hover! I have a
little scratch from the long distance
shipping from Terre Haute to Acapulco,
and the boat cover had some little holes.
But it is an engineering beauty. The red
color also and the performance and sensation
of freedom is better than in my Harley
Davidson. Once again, thanks and congratulations!"
Each year we do a
short water show for
the spectators. This
year, as were gliding
along at a fairly good
speed, the cable on
my left side bucket
broke, causing me to
touch Marty's machine.
Everyone thought it
was part of the show!
I ran the rest of the
day without the port
side bucket, so we didn't
do all our usual maneuvers.
When we perform, the
crowd loves it as we

We gave free rides
from 11:00 to 3:00 to
two or three people
at a time. Even though
we requested that there
be only one ride per
person, we still had
to turn people away
at the end of the day.
We could have used at
least one additional

It was a great day
of Happy Hovering!"
"I am
a very satisfied customer and one who
believes in your product. It seems to
be getting better with age as all good
things do."
"I really
love this hovercraft and run it a lot.
You have a unique and practical watercraft
that is more than a pleasure craft. It's
performing perfectly."
November 2002:
"Greetings from Reedsville, Wi.
Just a note to say that for the first
time since owning the Hovertrek, I
installed the "winter"
windshield. What a neat accessory.
Much improved from the one we had
on the old Questrek. Attachment nice
and solid. Nice roomy, open feeling,
and it cut the wind even when going
sideways. It is one of those cold
gloomy days in Wisconsin, with ice
forming on the river. Went up river
about one hour and was very impressed
with the windshield.
A person
sure gets spoiled
using Reverse Thrust.
People who use other
brands without this
feature really are
missing out on a neat
September 2004: [In
September 2004 Marty Van Lishout took delivery of his fourth recreational hovercraft from Neoteric.]
"Really appreciate new engine.
Very responsive and much more pleasing
to the ears. I like the new front skirts
too. Started using 40 pound bag of sand
in the nose which trimmed the craft
quite well for me. Then I replaced 10
of the new front skirts with regular
ones, and was able to remove the sand
bag. I still get a little spray on turns
which can be eliminated by moving way
Beautiful Machine!
February 2005:
"Sure glad you convinced me
to trade up. What a beautiful machine.
Really enjoy the performance of the fuel
injected engine (no more bogging down
on right hand turns). Have 50 hours on
the machine, and no major problems. Used
your suggestion on freeing up the frozen
rudder cables, still do have occasional
icing problem with throttle cable."
"I enjoy
traveling with safety where I would otherwise
fear to go by other means."

it was so low that all the other boats
were parked, and I've been on it when
the rapids kept everyone away... this
thing's great!"
"My family
enjoys our Neova 8. We have hovered in
the ocean and traveled many rivers. Hundreds
have flown with us. The Canadians really
loved the hovercraft. In one winter's
day we took 150 of 'em for rides."
and myself have enjoyed our hovercrafts
so much, we have been places even horses
couldn't get to!"
hovercraft (Hovertrek) is very maneuverable
on small rivers. Even Val (my wife) is
asking when we can go again! We have an
unbelievably controllable hovercraft,
can turn on your own axis. I can negotiate
any boat ramp I've come across. I've been
through white water, over two low-head
three-tiered dams and I've just got it
down going backwards."
"The reverse
thrust system on your hovercraft is what
sets it apart from anything on the market
at this time. It's the best system I have
ever experienced."
"I have
never had anything this small that has
gone so fast and is so smooth."

than anything I have ever owned. It
runs like a top, it's sure been a good
craft. The bass fishing boys say, 'Boy
you can get where we can't go!'
Best money
I've ever spent!"
You have provided us with a method of
conquering the river. You can't
imagine how much we appreciate this
hovercraft. The Hovertrek is 10 times
better than an airboat. It's the
best thing we can think of for the river.
It's doing a fantastic job. If
it wasn't for the reverse buckets
it just wouldn't work, you just
have to have them; it's the perfect
thing. It crosses shoals as smooth as
silk. The fishing platform works great.
John and I have been everywhere on the
river – we have mastered 50 miles
from log jams to crossing dams and fish
traps, even 3 ft drops. The river is
like an obstacle course 1 to 4 ft high
rocks for up to ½ mile stretch.
We couldn't ask for anything more.

Everyone that looks at it thinks it's

really like my hovercraft. I have been
climbing and descending canoe ramps
on the Milwaukee River. These are quite
steep, almost 45 degrees and high. I
have over 127 hours on the hovercraft
in less than six months. Recently, I
went on Lake Michigan in six-foot waves
and 25 mph winds, the craft worked well.
I took my 80-year-old mother for a 60-mile
trip. I certainly like my machine."
A few weeks ago we
had a family reunion
at our home with my
three sisters and their
families coming from
different parts of the
world so, of course,
we had a day out on
the hovercraft. I took
about 12 people one
by one for rides up
and down the river.
Everyone had such a
thrill, having never
ridden on a hovercraft.
We had to dodge groups
of students kayaking
downstream, but they
were waving and thought
the hovercraft was really
cool. We even attracted
some attention from
the press, as there
was a reporter from
an Internet newspaper
called the Bristol Sun
taking pictures and
interviewing us about
the reunion and the
hovercraft. I made sure
she got the correct
information about Neoteric,
the maker of this fine
machine, and sure enough
at 8 pm that evening
our story was on their
web site, complete with
photos and video of
us hovering along (that
was about two weeks
ago so it's off their
site by now).
I still have not yet
seen any other hovercraft
out on the waterways,
and I guess I enjoy
being so unique, but
at the same time I realize
that for the health
of the hovercraft industry
it would be much better
if there were more of
us around.
We're heading up to
the Wisconsin Dells
for four days of vacation
this week. We're towing
the Hovertrek along
and plan to do some
serious hovering on
the Wisconsin River.
We're going to attend
the Muscoda Hover-in
on Friday and Saturday;
it will be our first
hover-in so we're really
looking forward to that.
I'm still working on
the idea of making the
front seat into a power
seat with push button
trim control. I've ordered
a linear actuator and
the rest of the electrical
(switch, fuse holder
and wiring) is mounted
and ready to go. I'll
need to have a small
bracket welded to the
seat frame to mount
the actuator. The truth
is I can't stop tinkering
with it, but I think
it's going to turn out
really well. I'll email
you a photo when it's
By the way, my youngest
sister is a professional
videographer and she
shot some footage of
us operating the Hovertrek,
(some nice on-board
footage from the back
seat too.) She's going
to edit it into a nice
little QuickTime hovercraft
video (put to music)
that I can distribute
through the Internet.
Maybe you could have
a section on your web
site of videos that
potential customers
could download to get
the feel for riding
on a hovercraft. When
she's done with it I'll
send you a copy. Well,
I hope that business
is good but not overwhelming
you! Hope to see you
at the September 12
Hover-in at Terre Haute.
PS: Attached is a photo
from our recent outing
(my sister Annie in
rear seat). Check out
the ultralight helmets
and intercom system."

From Pinellas Park, Florida, USA:
Where can I buy a non-invasive blood sugar testing device?
You have to go to England to get a GlucoWatch, and even then it is only being used through certain clinics. The company's hope is for U.S. FDA final approval, and availability at the end of this year [2001]. The MiniMed and other devices are rather further away from a general release.
[Editor's comment: Some of our readers might be aware that the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, which is currently available, is almost non-invasive, and might be what the writer would want. However, the CGMS is only available for use in conjunction with a doctor's office for short-term (3-day) use, and is not available for purchase for routine use by a consumer. WWQ]

On a quest to the Overstay (Hostel Review)
"The best hostel in the Universe – 5 stars" "Not what it seems on the website – 1 star" "Best vibes in Bangkok – 5 stars" "Not meant for everyone – 1 star""Stay here! – 5 stars" "Worst place I've ever stayed – 1 star" "Loved it – 5 stars" "Do not stay here – 1 star"….
In case you did not realise what I was doing here, I was citing titles and ratings of other people's reviews, found on Tripadvisor. As any other hostel, "the Overstay" has some intermediate reviews, however, the vast majority either loves it or hates it and it is rather easy to see why.

Ok. So, it's done. I can stop changing my mind now. Those of you who actually know me or live around me have probably heard a handful of different, non-related summer-holiday destinations spilling from my mouth in the past couple of years: wildlife volunteering in Sri Lanka, journalism in Israel, seeing old friends in Canada or meeting new ones in Cambodia. You probably stopped believing that I was actually gonna go anywhere, but it is decided now. If you had 600 euros, would you buy an Iphone, so you can take these kind of photos…
or would you buy an experience, so you can take these kind of photos…
I was bored last night, so I booked a flight. I booked a flight to Thailand, because it was 250 euro cheaper to fly to Bangkok than to fly to Phnom Penh for some reason. We'll landcross the border to Cambiodia, It will be fun, the hassle is part of the experience isn't it?
You might have noticed that I said "we" and I did. I actaully do have a travel buddy this trip. I was absolutely thrilled, because I am not used to people having the guts to actually accept my offer to show them around the world and I am therefore not used to having a travel buddy on my out of Europe trips. I mean, obviously I have had plenty of travel mates, but I would always meet them along the way. Like the time that I burst into a hostel in Katoomba, Australia around 9.30pm. Having just returned from a trip to the Jenolan caves, my clothes were all sweaty and my hair was dirty. I had also never been to this hostel before, so there were no familiar faces. I decided to place myself in the middle of the common room, in order to have the attention of all the people who were just lounging there, checking there phones. If anyone was interested in hiking the ruined castle track with me. Tomorrow. We'd leave at dawn.
This tactic amazingly seems to work all the time, but I'm drifting off. The point is that this time, I will have a full-on travel buddy. One of my study mates. People ususally get all excited untill the moment comes when it comes to the point of booking, so I was rather surprised when this girl did not retreat the moment I asked her for money to pay for the ticket. It is also her first time out of Europe, in Asia, during monsoon season. Oh well, I'll take care of her.
Having someone to travel with and to talk to is a great thing! However, it has its downfalls too. For example, a solo ticket would have been a lot cheaper, as you can fill up a single empty seat. The other disadvantage is, that having someone to communicate with might make you reluctant to meet other, solo travellers. However, I am determined to not let that happen. Meeting foreign travellers and sharing experiences is part of the fun!
Have you been to Cambodia (during monsoon season), do you have experience crossing the Thai/Cambodian border? Do you have any advice on places to go and places to avoid (this time of year) or do are you planning to travel the same area around the same time? Don't hestitate to contact me.

The program involves weekly sessions, using video-feedback methods, designed to enhance parents' understanding of their infant's social communication patterns at a very young age. Families taking part in iBASIS are also invited to visit the BabyLab, so that the impact of providing such a home-based intervention for families can be accurately measured. Feedback from early trials of the program shows that parents find the intervention enjoyable and rewarding, often feeling they get to know their baby better than they would otherwise, at what is a crucial time in his or her development.

Testimonials from Senior Advisors
I am proud of my one year partnership with Personal Business Associates (PBA), and look forward to many more fruitful years working in tandem with this outstanding group of senior executives. I fully stand behind the PBA goals and objectives, which are to match individual executives with excellent entrepreneurial careers and business owners with superlative senior talent.
I am grateful for the close mentoring and strong support provided by the PBA Corporate leadership, and have found these exceptional executives to be genuinely interested in helping me, as an individual Executive Senior Advisor, be successful in my business. Moreover, the PBA Principals have been visionary in their efforts to contribute in all ways possible to the betterment of individual executives and companies, as well as to an economically stable USA.
PBA has developed a unique process of outreaching to senior executives who could possibly need our help. This process, if followed according to the well-proven model developed over the past eight years, will produce the results PBA has projected. It is important to note that this is a pipeline business that does require diligence, sustained output on the part of the Senior Advisor, and attention to the needs of candidates and client companies.
The PBA business requires work, no different from any salaried position or individual small business in demanding energy and production. I was saddened to learn that some individuals have recently been critical of PBA as an organization. From my perspective, I find their criticisms unfounded and believe their own failures in this business derive from not having grasped the vision of the organization, nor on the operational side following the proven business processes that are required to be successful.
Again, I fully enjoy being a partner in this first-rate organization and anticipate a long and profitable association.
Best regards,
Michael L. Bajek
Senior Advisor

Fractions are not your friend
There have been quite a few exceptionally tragic "natural" disasters lately – mostly affecting some of the poorest areas of the world. The probability of "ongoing" occurrences of dramatic destruction and resulting "reduction" of the affected local human population in the near future is something to consider – as is the possibility that human influence on what happens on this planet may at the same time be at least fraction more and less than many people might suspect. Humans are certainly capable of causing all sort of upheaval – especially economically. Continue reading
