Authorities say Mr. Hall used false identification information on a voter reg- istration card, and now faces a third-degree felony charge. The former mayor is one of at least three people that authorities say voted, despite being convicted felons who had not had their voting rights restored. Also arrested was Mike Leggett, 37, of Spruce Street, in Stuart. And sheriff deputies said they expected to make a third arrest soon. . Mr. Hall's lawyer, Thomas Colter, said his client was not a flight risk, and suc- ceeded in lowering.his bail from $30,000 to $1,000, according to published reports.

Helping People Suc- ceed, a nonprofit estab- lished in 1964, has become one of the first agencies in the country to become fully reaccredited under the Healthy Fami- lies America program, which aims to prevent child abuse and neglect. "This was a cause for celebration," said Suzanne Hutcheson, CEO of the Helping People Foundation, which serves more than 3,000 people eachyear. To gain certification, the agency had to meet or exceed all standards set by the national group for promoting positive par- enting, enhancing chil- dren's health and develop- ment and preventing child abuse and neglect, according to, Healthy Families America.

Every night, it seems, is filled with parties or baking, but before you start munching on those holiday treats, guard yourself against criminals looking to take advantage during the holidays. Rhonda Irons, media offi- cer for the Martin County Sheriff's Office, suggested the following tips for safety at home:' *Turn on outside lights to deter burglars. * Make sure doors and windows are locked when leaving the house, even for a few moments * Do not display large holiday gifts in view of win- dows or doors. '* Break down and recycle large boxes instead of put- ting them out for the: garbage collector. S"Residents can never be too careful, prepared or aware," said Officer Irons in an e-mail. Take precautions before "leaving your home as well. The National Crime Pre- vention .Council brochure on holiday safety provided the following tips for holi- day vacationers: * Ask a neighbor to watch your home and park in the driveway from time to time. * Don't forget to have mail and newspaper delivery stopped. If it piles up, it's a sure sign you're gone. Even if you areojust leav- ing your home for a short while, the NCPC recom- mends leaving the televi- sion or radio and a few lights on, to give crooks the impression that someone is home. Having an inventory list of valuables in your home is also a good precaution to take, in case something is stolen from your home. That could' also help with insurance claims, authori- ties said. "There have been a lot more burglaries of cars being reported that have been unlocked with valu- ables inside," said Deputy Jeff Luther, public informa- See SURPRISES, A2 ";t'tr . :I;I~u".:,s�~::+.. ,� ,1 ~� i.

I trlt tIGT[ uT FINE CONSIGNMENT OUTLET ENGINEERING BEAUTY For those who love the look of wood floors, engineered wood provides a practical choice for overconcrete slabs and in envi- rons where solid wood flooring cannot be applied (such as below grade for finished base- ments). Aside from meeting these practical challenges, engi- neered wood flooring mimics the look of real wood by applying a thin wood veneer over a ply- wood substrate. Because the thickness of engineered wood is only three-eights to five-eights- of-an-inch deep, it can be applied over an existing floor (such as in a kitchen renovation) with minimal increase in floor height. Most engineered flooring is available in tongue-and- groove strips that must be sta- pled or glued to the subfloor. Other, such as "long-plank" types, are designed for "floating" installations Because they are so thin and require no subfloor, engineered wood floors are an economical and beautiful option for base- ments and other room renova- tions. If you have any questions about engineered wood floors, give us a call today. We special- ize in creating beautiful and green interiors for commercial or residential spaces. We can also provide construction project management. Our office is locat- ed 1565 SW Martin Hwy., Palm City. Please call 561-756-6951 to schedule a consultation. HINT: Virtually all engineered flooring comes prefinished, usu- ally with "eased edges," which are slightly rounded edges that provide small V-grooves between each board. 111 Bf)uing and ,eling One iece or Whole Estates Come visit us at our Outlet tore and find your treasures at discounted prices! true treasure1 offers antiques, fine art, Oriental rugs, unique home furnishings, silver'and china from around the world.

"By doing small things like that, even closing your garage door, you can help yourself and help us at the Sheriff's office," he said. When shopping for those end-of-the-year bargains, she recommends shopping with a friend or family member and when return- ing to the vehicle, get in, lock the doors and leave. "Criminals will prey on shoppers who sit in their cars reviewing their pur- chases or talking on the tele- phone," Officer Irons wrote.

Adopted girls donate stuffed toys to less fortunate For Hometown News News@holnetownnewsol.com MARTIN COUNTY- They've had their share of struggles, but two Martin County girls say they want to help other children during the holiday season. Sisters Destiny and Jade Neumann donated more lhan 60 stuffed toys to chil- dren whose families are fac- ing financial hardship. In a few quiet meetings with representatives from several charities across the county, the girls gave away several Build-A-Bear Work- shop toys they created over the past two years. "We wanted to show our love," said Jade, 9, about the donation. She and her 11-year-old sister no longer live with their parents. Their grandparents, William and Sheilah Neu- mann adopted the girls about five years ago, when their father started a second prison term. '"They were in bad situa- tions with my daughter and their father," Mrs. Neumann said. And as a result, authorities placed the children in the Neumann's care. Mr. Neumann is a supervi- sor at a chemical company, where he has worked for the last 30 years. His wife owns a small cleaning business. After, adopting the girls, the couple sold their retire- ment home. "There's not going to be any retirement, because we have the children," Mrs. Neumann said. "But we're happy to have them. They're great kids." During the difficult transi- tion, the girls developed a love for building bears. They received several gift certificates for Build-A-Bear Workshop toys from well- wishers. Each bear can range in price from about $25 to $60. Making the bears became a favorite pasttime, with Destiny and Jade creating 75 plush toys over the years. But talk of a downturn in the economy led the girls to want to do something to help other children, their grandmother said. "They came to me and asked if they could donate (the bears)," she said. Moved by the offer, Ms. Neumann began to call local groups to find recipients. The Neumann girls donat- ed some of their bears to two families with 12 chil- dren. "We were grateful and happy to be able to do it," said Destiny. "We are always told to believe, succeed, achieve and give to others." The girls also gave more than 50 bears to the Toys for Tots Foundation. * "It was unbelievable to get a phone and realize that these girls took it upon themselves to do this for other kids," said Carol Hod- nett, director of Martin Vol- unteers, who coordinates local Toys for Tots efforts. "This means a lot to Toys for Tots and it means a lot to all the children who will be receiving these bears that were made with love," she said.

Since the mid-1990s, he has worked with Bahamian tourism officials and mari- na operators to offer special rates and incentives to boaters between Florida and the islands. In recent months, Mr. Guertin has been working on rebuilding these rela- tionships. "It's really about a collab- orative effort that benefits everyone," he said. Promoters from the two countries plan to share a booth at the upcoming Stu- art boat show and start get- ting the word out about their venture. Harborage Yacht Club and Marina has planned four promotional boating trips to the islands of the Bahamas in 2009, but a spokesperson said the group might do as many as six. Trips are set to range from three days to two weeks, with partner properties in the Bahamas offering dis- counts to participants. The idea has gained some attention in the trade press, with Coastal Angler Maga- zine covering Flahama in its December issue.

The first is mercury, which readily forms alloys with a number of met- als, including gold. Once formed, these alloys, or amalgams, can be "undone" by heating them. Mercury has a low boiling point so when heat is applied to an amal- gam, the mercury can be vapor- ized. As the mercury boils off, it leaves behind the metal with which it was alloyed and the mercury can easily be condensed and re-used. This affinity of mercury for gold is the basis of a method of recovery that has been used for centuries. Gold-bearing rock is pulverized, and it may then be washed with running water so that the lighter materials floated away and the heavier gold trapped, in the ridges of corduroy cloth, for example. The remaining material is then mixed with mercury to. produce gold amalgam. The amalgam is carefully boiled and the gold left behind is ready for further refine- ment to remove any silver, copper or palladium it may contain. Ancient Romans used this tech- nique in their mining industry and they made sure that any ore treat- ed in this way was finely crushed so the maximum amount of gold could be recovered. In the process of using cyanide the cold bearing ore is ground up extreme- ly fine and treated with a very dilut- ed solution of sodium cyanide, with water and oxygen. The ore and other chemicals are mixed together in a vat and stirred to make sure that all the gold comes in contact with the cyanide. The reactions that occur between them produce compounds from which gold is comparatively easy to liber- ate. The solution is treated in a vacuum to suck out the oxygen and the remaining material is then washed, dried and melted.

An Open Letter to Florida Car Dealers. Eliminate the "Dealer Fee". Fellow Florida Car Dealers, if you don't Now, here is the good n know me, I should tell you that I don't profess ing the dealer fee my pr to be some "holier than thou" car dealer who by about the amount of wa lav efa f 1nr1t RA mth 38 .inm lid Iw was ailwayso percll It lorme pastol o 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 d y and your xpectat customers. Virtually every car dealer ofeduc in Florida adds a charge to the price of cars he sells, a SOphistil "dealer fee/doc fee/dealer prep" fee ranging from $500 muchhig to nearly $1,000. This extra charge is programmed into your computer. It has been made illegal in many states including California, but is still legal in Florida. The reason you charge this fee is simply to increase the price of the car andjour profit in such a manner that it is not notiUed 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. lews.

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- 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.

I feel sorry for a person who calls the majority of Ameri- cans morons, and refers to a past president and his wife as scumbags. This is the mentality of a non-believer in anything good. During this economy and being in a senseless war, which all wars are, we have to look to the future and pray for peace. To the person that wrote the article, I wish them peace. More on 'Against Obama' It is apparent that "Against Obama" is very rich because they can't remember the good things that the Clintons did, i.e. left us with a surplus and no debt that the last president spent in a war, that was none of our business because it was his daddy's friends' (the Saudis) who attacked the U.S., not Iraq. I am so sure that you are rich because you don't need the money you lost on Wall Street or you would be mad at Presi- dent Bush and his henchmen. Stop blaming Bill and Hillary for the mess that your president put us in. President-elect Obama will turn this economy around because he is smarter then the president of the last eight years. He has already started to planhow new jobs will be achieved. President Bush could only concentrate on the price of gas, the loss of money in the country, the loss of millions of jobs, the collapse of industries that have been around for years. My only regret is that you will probably prosper under this administration. Don't be so quick to call the Clintons scumbags. Look at the White House today and call them worse. Belated Christmas wishes Dear Santa, We wish for our government and corporate American CEQs to show some compassion for the working-class folk of this country, the people who put y6u in power and bail us. out. ,Take one of those $85 billion bailout packages. anddivvy it up among those 2 million to 2.5 million people or so, out there working to keep you in that power. Eighty-five billion divided by 2 million or 2.5 million, do the math and understand what that might do for the econo- my. It would definitely be a whole lot better stimulus pack-, age than what the Bush administration gave us. Santa, we also wish that local and:network television sta- tions would change their advertisers, the lizard and Bright- house need to slacken up considerably, the current ambu- lance chasers, appliance salespeople and lawyer referral groups just need to go away'period for something new. Barack Hussein Obama said we need change. And Santa, about the only other thing that I wish for this season is that something be done for the people who can't at least do the speed limit on the roads. Thank you, Santa, for reading this letter. Merry Christmas to you, the people of'this country ard the troops who are fighting for our freedoms. Who'sthe idiot? To the person who wrote toughen up U.S.A. You criticize Obama who hasn't.even been inaugurated yet. And you talk about the Clintons. But what about Bush? He hasn't been able to find Bin Laden, who has been hiding for years. I, guess that makes you andBush the idiots. Sore losers What .gives you the right: to call those who voted for Obama morons? What sore losers! I hope you have fun in Canada. Self-centered Americans Americans never cease to amaze me. They are self-cen- tered and conceited. They think they are the smartest on earth. They think they have invented everything.

Don't shoot the messenger T en I recommend AVG Free to people to use to keep their machines protected from viruses, I am often asked, "how is it that they can give it away for free?" or simply, "what's the catch?" When a software provider provides a free version of its software, along with a version that you have to pay for, you are on your own if you decide to get the free version. That typically means no support from the compa- ny that wrote the software if you have issues. This concept (while very reasonable to me) seems to annoy some people and I'll use A\u as an example. Here is a company that provides a free version of its software for regular home users and a commercial version that costs money When you go to their Web site (http://ww.avg.com) and look around, you can see a comparison chart as to what's available in the free version vs. what's available in the version you have to pay for. Now, there is nothing stopping users from buying the "pay for" version (it's not COMPUTE THIS SEAN MCCARTHY just for businesses) but there is something stopping businesses from download- ing the free version. , Now let's say you are running the free version and you get a message that it has found a virus or some critical error that it cannot automat- ically fix. If you attempt to go back to theWeb site and get them to help you, they are going to want you to pay for Their help because you are using the free version. This should come as no surprise, as it is clearly mentioned on theWeb site, but it sure does catch people off guard. Remember, the main reason machines get infected is a lack of an up-to-date antivirus program. Grisoft offers a free program (AVG) that updates itself without any need for a Subscription and helps uninfected machines stay that way. If you have not been running an up-to-date antivirus program and decide to download the free: edition, don't be surprised if, once you install it, you find that your machine is infected. That's not the anti-virus software's fault, that's the fault of lack of maintenance. If the program comes up and tells you that you have a virus it can't clean and you don't' know how to clean it yourself (here's ahint Google the virus name), then you are likely going to have to pay someone to fix it for you. If you download a free virus scanner and put it on a machine that has been on the Internet for months with no protection and it discov- ers a virus;dont expect - -, anyone to come bail you out and don't get mad at the software company for wanting to get paid to do something that goes beyond the scope of their rather generous free service. And certainly don't get mad at me for telling you it's going to cost to get it fixed. When I write about a piece of software available on the Internet for free, try tokeep a few things in mind. First, I didn't write the software. I'm just telling you about it. Second, when I take the time to write about free software it is safe to assume that I have looked it over carefully for viruses, spyware and all the other garbage that some of the free stuff comes loaded with and as far as I can see, it's safe. Third, if you have questions about a down- load I mention here, check the Web site. The answers are usually right there on the main page. And finally, just because you are downloading a free program, don't expect the same kind of support you would get if you were paying for the software. The details ~"'ofwhatyou aregetting-for- free (and why they are giving it away for free) again are usually right there on the Web site. I hope that answers some of the e-mails I've gotten. If I haven't gotten to your e-mail yet, please be patient with -me, myinboxis a bit swamped right now.

Party hearty, but party safe Tt's a party time of year and nobodywants to be the Jparty-pooper who reminds everyone that drinking and driving don't . mix I'm happy to be the designated messenger for this party-season: drinking and driving don't mix and there are many ways to have a great holiday party without putting yourself or your loved ones at risk. Mothers Against Drunk Driving offers tips for hosts and partygoers to avoid becoming statistics during the holiday season. You can" find their "Have a Ball, Baby!" safe party guide at the MADDWeb site, www.madd.org/programs. If you still have doubts -about the dangers of drinking and driving, and feel that the holiday time is different and you can relax the rules, MADD offers the following sobering statistics: �' in 2006,17,602 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes, which is an average of one every 30 minutes. Alcohol-related deaths account for nearly41 percent of all traffic fatalities. Many more people are seriously maimed and injured in alcohol-related accidents. If you are having a holiday party, and this includes barbeques and tailgate parties as well as traditional holiday events, there are things you need to knov to keep your party safe. This is not only being a good, responsible host. Ifyou serve liquor, you may be liable for accidents caused byyour guests. Donald Murray, MADD Florida executive director, said that this message cannot be overstated. "We encourage those who are going to host a party to be responsible hosts and do all they can to ensure that their guests don't drink and drive. Guests should make plans well in advance for a desig- nated driver, taxi or alternate means of transportation. "Further, hosts should understand that they can be held legally responsible for crashes occurring as a result of driving under the influ- ence that occurred as a result of alcohol provided by the host," he said. The following dos and don't are taken from the MADDWeb site. For infor- mation on volunteering or joining one of the 25 chap- ters in Florida, go to www.madd.org/fl. If you are the victim of a drunk driver, call the toll free hotline at (800) 772-6233., Ifyou are a host, here's what you need to do: *Have a "bartender" who can keep track of how much someone is drinking. Never allow drinks to be served to minors. Remember that a 12 oz, can of beer, a 5 oz. glass of wine and an ounce and a half of "hard" liquor contain the same amount of alcohol. *Stay within your own drinking limits so that you can keep an eye on your guests. *Do offer non-alcoholic alternatives, and if a guest is drinking too much, offer to freshen up their drink with a non-alcoholic version. eClose the bar 90 minutes before the party ends and serve dessert and coffee. Coffee will not sober someone up; only time will do that. It takes about an hour to oxidize each drink. *Offer lots of high protein foods such as cheese, deli meats and shrimp so guests don't drink on an empty stomach. *Get your guests talking or playing games. Have an amateur fortune teller. When people are busy, they drink less. *If you're serving an alcoholic punch, use anon- carbonated base, such as *fruit juice. Alcohol is absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream with a carbonated base. *Have a plan if a guest has had too much to drink Arrange a ride, call a taxi or ask them to spend the night If you're a guest, you're not off the hookl *Know your limits. *If you're with a group, arrange in advance who will be the designated driver. *Don't arrive on an empty stomach and eat throughout the evening. Remember that salty snacks make you thirsty; if you need some- thing to quench your thirst, choose a non-alcoholic alternative. *Remember thatyou are ultimately responsible for your behavior. Don'tput your host on the spot by drinking too much. Have fun, have a great holiday, and don't let a lapse in judgment and good sense turn into a tragedy. That's not how you want to remember this holiday season. Shelley Koppel is theformer editor of"Today's HealthCare" magazine and a member of the NationalAssociation of Science Writers.

They join Jensen Beach High School, which was acknowl- edged for its efforts in the 2006-07 school year. Other schools have also signed on for the program, district officials say. Dr. David L. Anderson Mid- die School is in its second year, while Stuart Middle School and Pinewood Ele- mentary are participating for the first time. Their work reflects the broader efforts of a district that gained top grades for raising test scores, reduced energy consumption and improved after-school pro- grams. For the seventh year in a row, the district gained an "A" rating under Florida's A+ Plan, designed to set stan- dards for students' perform- ance and publicly report results. And in recent months, it got a nod of approval when the September 2008 auditor gen- eral's report named Martin County one of five school dis- tricts in the state that had no audit findings for the past two years. But despite its strong show- ing, the district is not without. its challenges. Cutbacks in federal spend- ing chopped nearly $2.5 mil- lion from the budget of Mar- tin County schools, said Nancy Kline, the district's new superintendent. The cuts meant that staff had to forego raises. "These types of cuts to edu- cation are unprecedented in our state," she said in a state- ment. But meanwhile, Martin County schools improved their graduation rate this school year to 91.9 percent, up from 91.2 percent last year. Participants of the Positive Behavior Support program for schools join J.D. Parker principal Mary White (front left) at a district function. Pictured are Jensen Beach Elementary assistant principal Janice Mills (front right) and other members of the team. Photo courtesy of J.D. Parker School And the district main- tained its low numbers for school dropouts. It outper- formed 64 of the state's 67 school districts, maintaining a dropout rate well below Florida's average of 2.6 per- cent. "These results show the strong focus among our teachers, administrators and parents toward supporting our students' efforts to com- plete their education," Ms. Kline said.

"We prepare for this for months," Ms. Hutcheson said.' "Gaining accreditation is a real team-building opportunity, because we all need to work together to look at where we are." The achievement is.the lat- est in a long line forthe group that grew from a fledgling agency to one that now serves 300 families in Martin County alone, and operates in 12 counties across Florida. Its Baby Steps division aims to foster interaction between parents and infants and pro- mote development in children, up to age 5. Its service staff strives to see every newborn in the county, visiting all homes, whether "wealthy, pooror in-between,". an early intervention special- ist states in promotional mate-' rial. "It's all about helping our children be the best people they can be," Ms. Hutcheson said. Specialists in its behavioral health services program work with children, high-risk teens and adults to teach them skills for dealing with anger, frustra- tion and other stresses. And its Community Living division focuses on integrating people with disabilities into social and work' environ- ments. A fourth division offers employment services that help clients not only find, but keep jobs. "What's happened .here is that we've grown from this mom and pop operation to this really big enterprise focused on helping people," Ms. Hutcheson said.

Knowledge is a terrible thing to waste... 'www.hometownnewsol.com Y ou might think that I have a more of a penchant for the small ship cruising over other types, since many of my recent columns have touched upon the various small ship cruise lines. However, it is the interest of my clients that have me researching and finding the vacation that matches their criteria. I just love doing this type of research. I find myself getting excited with my finds. Which brings me to my latest find: American Safari Cruises, a luxury yacht experience that cruises the wildlife-rich waters of the Alaska, Pacific Northwest, Columbia and Snake Rivers,' Mexico's Sea of Cortds and the Hawaiian Islands. I am seeing a bit of a trend in those seeking smaller, more intimate and adventurous cruise experi- ences. Even in these times of uncertainty, many of our clients refuse to allow it to keep them from traveling. Some are traveling less with more meaningful experi- ences, while others choose to continue with their travel. plans, as this is what they worked their whole lives for. I applaud their tenacity. My clients wanted something different. They are a well-traveled couple, love cruising and have cruised many of the larger ships. However,-as they get older, they feel they want to try other experiences. During our discussions we touched on a few key points of interest. They wanted a more adventurous trip, but were not keen on giving up their comfort nor their sense of taste for the finer things that cruises generally offer. This discus- sion brought us to Ameri- can Safari Cruises and an Alaska itinerary. They were excited and so was I. American Safari Cruises .has been in business since J1997.

Carl Domino, R-District 83, asked me to propose a bill for him to consider sponsoring which addresses my objections to the dealer fee. "There were discussions with Ted Smith, president of the FADA, Carl and me about meeting to discuss this bill. However, due to the current automotive ON CARS EARL STEWART crisis, Ted Smith and his executive committee have had their hands full. I fully understand and respect this. Having never drafted a bill for the legislature before, I'll drafted a lay- man's version, which I'm sure Rep. Domino and his staff can put into the language that lawyers and politicians seem to prefer. SJeffAtwater, e current president of the senate, has been very supportive of my cause and I'll ask him to sponsor a senate version of the bill. I have lobbied for two years to make the dealer fee illegal. In last March's legislature, despite my flying to Tallahassee, it See STEWART, All' Toppa From page A8 experience.

All Stewart From page A9 never got out of the Senate Commerce Commiftee. I do not want anybody to think that my drafting a bill falls short of making the dealer fee illegal is a sign of weakness or a sign of my "selling out" to the FADA. My ultimate goal remains to make the dealer fee illegal, period. But I am convinced that there is a much greater chance of getting a compro- mise bill passed into law. This compromise will be better than having nothing at all. After you've read my proposed bill below, please give me your opinion and suggestions by calling my no dealer fee hotline at (800) 809-9879. On this hotline, you will be able to record your thoughts on the dealer fee.Your voicemail will be forwarded to my e- mail via an audio file, which I can then forward to Rep. Domino and Sen. Atwater. * The dealer fee printed on the buyer's order should be directly below the cash selling price and the column just below that should read, "cash selling price including dealer fee." The dealer fees currently disclosed on buyers' orders are enmeshed in the middle of legitimate taxes and fees. Because the dealer fee is profit, and part of the selling price of the car and sales tax must be paid on it, it should be displayed as part of the price of the car, not as part of the taxes and legitimate fees. * A ar buyer should have the right to negotiate the dealer fee, just as she can the rest of the price of the car. Next to the dealer fee on the car windows and the vehicle buyer's order, must appear the word "nego- tiable." Furthermore, salespeople cannot tell car buyers that they "cannot remove the dealer fee from the buyer's order" which is universally the practice presently. * Dealers who violate the dealer fee law should be fined and there should be internal enforcement by FADA. Currently, there is virtual- ly no enforcement of the dealer fee law. What good is there of passing a new law if the old, inadequate law is not even enforced? The fines should be severe and progressive. I've had talks with Ted Smith and FADA about establishing an internal control system that would Police dealers in different parts of the state. A dealer violator would be given one "free pass" before the violation was sent to the Wreaths FrOm page A5 toward promoting home ownership in Martin Coun- ty through Habitat for Humanity.

I not only support this, but I believe this would greatly enhance the enforcement of the new law. * A customer who can prove that the dealer fee was not disclosed as required by law, is entitled to 100 percent reimburse- ment of the dealer fee plus her legal fees and costs. * Do not allow manufac- turer/distributor group ads to exclude the dealer fee from their advertised prices. This loophole exists in the current law. The argument is that it would be too "confusing" if a separate price was advertised for each dealer in the ad. If the manufacturer/distributor wished to run just price, then he must be required to identify the amount of each dealer's dealer fee next to that dealer's name. -BECKY'S CLEANING N SERVICE Residential & Commercial Serving Martin & St. Lucie Counties 772-634-5550 Licensed & Insured MCL#20092450405 W ..

Being the unusual one is usual for a man who's been a choir director, artist-in-resident in Alaska, television talk show host, sit-com warm-up guy, and ringmaster for both Ringling Brothers and the Big Apple circuses. He and the tenors return to the Treasure Coast with their original show, "A New Musical Adventure," at the Lyric Theatre on Jan. 4-5. Mr. Maguire spoke about what a phe- nomenon the group has become in just a few years. "In 19791 went to a wonderful festi- val of singers ii Switzerland with a choir," he said. "I met a kid, Matthew Lord, who had turned 18 and had a glorious voice. He was a maniac of a madman," he said. "When I got back to the States, I was the vaudeville director and emcee for the great American Melo- drama and Vaudeville Theatre. I hired the kid and we became good friends. "Five Christmases ago, when I was with the Big Apple Circus, Matt was in' the opera 'Boris Godonuv' and we hung out in the trailer. I got a call that- he was putting a call together. He said he didn't have a show, just an idea. "For three or four months he'd call and read dialogue.'My show had a hiatus and we rehearsed Matt's show for eight days. Then we started get- ting bookings. I gave my notice to,the circus." The show that evolved was "Three Redneck Tenors-A New Musical/ Adventure." Photo courtesy of the Lyric John Wilkerson, Dinny McGuire, Alex Bumpas and Matthew Lord perform in 'Three Redneck Tenors: A New Musical Adventure' at the Lyric Theatre on Jan. 4-5. Featuring classically-trained singers, the show tells the story of three mullet-wearing boys named Billy Bob, Billy Joe, and Billy Billee, who want to get out of La Donna Mobile Home Park in Paris, Texas. Mr. Maguire plays the Colonel, the boys' manager, and acts as narrator. The boys leave.their trailer on their way to Carnegie Hall, performing everything from "YMCA" to the aria ' "Nessun Dorma." Without giving too much away, they're pretty good look- ing Elvises, but plug-ugly women. The show was so successful that they were asked to appear on "Ameri- ca's Got Talent" and had an extended run at the Luxor in Las Vegas. Mr. Maguire, who not only nar- rates, but sings as well, is having the time of his life and hopes audiences will, too. "It's first-rate singing, but it's not presented in a way that makes you look at your watch;" he said. "That doesn't happen. "It's like a variety show. Every time, something is done in a different way. The comedy is silly stuff that keeps you laughing. It's the juxtaposition of absolute inanity and incredible musi- cianship that makes the music better and the comedy funnier," he said. Three Redneck Tenors bring their "New Musical Adventure" to the Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave., Stuart, on Jan 4 at 3 and 7 p.m. and on Jan 5 at 5 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $35 and $30.Call the box office at (772) 286- 7827 or order online at www.lyricthe- atre.com.

I can remember NewYear's. eve being a celebration where we made as much noise as possible at the stroke of ' midnight. I have some noise makers from my parents that date back more than 70 years (no cut fingers from sharp metal, that's for sure). To me, it's a capital sin to be sleeping at midnight. I used to wake my kids up just to make noise. Silly? Childish? Maybe so, btit I hope to never lose that excitement. Resolve to love one another more. Don't think there will always be tomorrow. Some- times tomorrow never comes. Today's column is a tribute to Mamma, my paternal grandmother. For NewYear's she made cookies, not regular cookies but special Italian treats coated with honey and topped with colored candy sprinkles. Strufoli (honey clusters) many of yu are familiar with, but her other specialty is one I bet you've never heard of. Tordillo (hope the spelling's right), made with olive oil and wine, was everyone's favorite. When I finally decided to make them, I kept hearing Mamma saying, "You have to feel when it's right." Back my memory went to when I was 17 and I remembered Mamma. I asked for the recipe and Mamma said in her delightful Italian accent, "You come over and we do it together." What I thought was going to be very easy turned out to be a bit of a fiasco when I kept questioning Mamma's instructions. Here's how it went while making the Tordillos. Mamma: Dump flour on the board. Me: How much flour? Mamma: This much, she said as she pointed. Make a hole in the center of the flour and pouring 1 glass of wine and 1/2 glass oil. Me: What size glass? Wouldn't you know I meant how many ounces? Mamma didn't. As her voice started to rise she held up the glass and shouted "this size!" "Now mix it all together until it feels right," she said, determined to go on. At that point, I just couldn't resist and asked, "What does 'right' feel like?" Well, she threw her hands up in desperation and said, "Don't say another word. You ask too many questions. Watch what I do and DO it." In most traditional cooking, you have to feel when it's right. I've taken that feel and tried to put it into measure- ments for you in all the family recipes I have given you.

B7 YOUTH ACnTIVTES & SfRTS Team looks to continue winning ways Tigers basketball squad is 5-0 so far By John MacDonald Macdonald@hometownnewsol.com STUART -When search- ing for role models for his boys basketball team, Mar- tin County head coach Andre McIntyre doesn't have to look far from the top. "There are a lot of super- stars in sports who are not winning," McIntyre said. "I love Kevin Garnett. I use him a lot. He leaves every- thing on the floor and is so unselfish. "I enjoy quality. Now he has a ring to prove it. "Boston as a collective group all made sacrifices. They share the wealth and are successful." The same can be said for the Tigers squad. After a 25-2 campaign that ended with a loss to Fort Laud- erdale-Dillard in the Region 4-5A final, Martin County hasn't skipped a beat so far this season. The team is 5-0 after dis- mantling county rival South'Fork 95-65 recently.. "I didn't expect that to happen," McIntyre said of the lopsided win. "When we play South Fork I expect a tough game. "I'm not surprised, though, because the kids work extremely hard." Tia Harris led the way for Martin County with 19 points and eight assists. The junior has gradually become of the Tigers' team leaders over the course of his three years on varsity. "He's been a pleasure to watch," McIntyre said. "To go from his freshman year where he was insecure and timid to last year where he was finding his niche on the team to now where he is more of a vocal leader. "He's an important piece of the puzzle. He's the point guard, our quarter- back. It's important that Tia plays up to his capabil- ities and he's done that." Quamain Foreman has started off his senior sea- son in impressive fashion as well. The guard had 17 points and seven assists against the Bulldogs. "He's the consummate team player," McIntyre' said. "He does everything we need him to do for the team to be successful. "A lot of people know about his scoring, but he also averaged 'in double figures last year in "He knew he had to up his game this year andhe worked hard over the summer. He got bigger and stronger and now it's paying off " Andre Mclntyre Martin County head coach on Casey Oldemoppen rebounding." With the graduation of Ridge Graham, McIntyre knew he needed several players to step up to make up for the loss. One of those, Casey Oldemoppen, has quickly become a scor- ing threat. "I knew there would have to be one person to make up for Ridge," McIn- tyre said. "Last year we eased Casey in and he knew he didn't have to do the bulk of the scoring or the rebounding.. "He knew he had to up, his game this year and he worked hard over the sum- mer. He got bigger and stronger and now it's pay- ing off." The 6-foot-6 junior added 14 points and eight rebounds in the win over South Fork, a trend McIn- tyre expects to continue. "He's averaging 12 points and nine rebounds," McIn- tyre: said. "He's an out- standing shooter from 15 feet in. He's somebody the opposition has to guard." Also stepping into a larg- er role this season has been Mike Dotson. While known for his defensive prowess, as his four steals against the Bulldogs would attest, the senior guard also added 11 points: "He was a role player last year," McIntyre said. "He's one of the best defenders on the Treasure Coast." Part of Martin County's success has been the con- stant influx of young. tal- ent. Case in point has been Terrell Harris, who as a sophomore is averaging a double-double. S"He's going to be an out- standing player," McIntyre said. "He's already made See TEAM, B9 1O-MINUTE 01O CHANGEONLY FREE Safety Inspection We Service All Makes and Models Mon-Fri 8-5 A/C Specialist Saturday by a Auto Repair and Marine Service Appt.

Enjoy. See you next year. TORDILLO (NIB) The wine used for these cookies was muscatel. If you can't find it, use a slightly sweet white wine or a dry white wine, such as chablis or Chardonnay, mixed with 1 teaspoon of sugar. 4 cups all purpose flour 1/2-cup extra virgin olive oil, warmed slightly in the microwave 3/4-cup wine Canola oil, enough to fill a medium saucepan halfway 1 cup honey 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar Multi-colored candy sprinkles Using the dough hook on your electric mixer or a food processor, mix first three ingredients together.. Place dough on cutting board and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and silky. Break off small pieces of dough and rollinto a cylinder about 1/2-inch wide and 2- inches long. Place a thumb (or three fingers) in center of cylinder and press dough down firmly as you push forward then towards you, causing the cylinder to curl and look somewhat like a seashell. Fry cookies a few at a time until golden. Drain on paper towels. In medium saucepan, bring honey and sugar to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add cookies a few at a time, turn to coat. Remove to platter with a slotted spoon. Dust with sprinkles. Note: These cookies can be made, fried and stored in an airtight container for weeks. Glaze them the day you're ready to serve.

"Our goal is to make it to the state championship. "I know it's early on in the year, but to.have five kids averaging double fig- ures in scoring, that's hard to defend. We have to stay unselfish.
