Lake O water managers meet in Stuart

STUART — More than 300 hundred people packed City Hall Aug. 17 to express their concern about pollution in the St. Lucie Estuary and show their support for Congressman Brian Mast’s efforts to prod state and federal officials into rethinking the way they handle Lake Okeechobee discharges.

The Congressman had invited his fel-low members of the Everglades Resto-ration Task Force to come to Stuart during its July meeting in Washington DC to discuss adjusting the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule that currently dictates the timing and amount of the discharges. The Martin County Commission had previously declared a state of emergency Aug. 7 related to the blue-green algae contami-nation wrought by the massive discharg-es over the last two months. Although the shores of the St. Lucie River didn’t appear very contaminated during the mid-August meeting, five days later a green layer covered much of the south-west portion of Shepherd’s Park and the waters of Frazier Creek downtown and extended down into the Sunset Bay Marina.

Congressman Mast agreed Aug. 27 that both U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District Commander Colo-

FRIDAY, AUG. 31

• 'Tai Chi: A Meditation in Motion:' 2-3 p.m., Fridays, through Aug. 31, at the Blake Library, 2351 S.E. Monterey Road, Stuart. Are you looking to reduce stress? Join a meditation in motion for adults, as a gentle exercise led by Floridians Fighting Falls. Sponsored by the Friends of the Martin County Library System, Inc. Tai chi is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. From roughly the mid-1990s onward, Tai Chi has gained a popularity in some countries to the point of it becoming nearly as known as a health-oriented practice as Yoga. In fact, in modern times it is even more known for such benefits and methods of practice than it is known for its original purpose. Free, public is welcome, but registration is required for each session. For more information, call (772) 288-5702 or visit www.library.martin.fl.us

This September, the Treasure Coast Food Bank is asking everyone to come together to help end hunger. The Hunger Action Month calendar is filled with some ways you can help. For more information, call (772) 489-

TREASURE COAST – During the recent Tax-Free weekend on Aug. 3 – 5, Bealls Stores continued their partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs throughout Flori-da by donating a percentage of apparel sales from the junior, guys and kid depart-ments.

“We believe in the mission of local Boys & Girls Clubs chapters throughout Flori-da and we enjoy continuing our tradition of being involved in our local community organizations,” said Matt Beall, Senior Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer for Bealls Stores, Inc. “Because of our loyal guests who choose to shop at their local Bealls Store, we are proud to support the Boys & Girls Clubs and their work in communities around the state.”

Bealls Stores announced that $9,250.74 will be donated to regional Boys & Girls Clubs chapters throughout the state; each store’s proceeds will be donated to their

local corresponding chapter. “The Boys & Girls Clubs in Florida

served over 130,000 youth last year. There are over 240 club sites from Pensacola to the Keys with 14 clubs on Florida military bases, and one residing on a Native Amer-ican reservation. This is possible through the hard work of our dedicated staff and volunteers, and of course through exciting partnerships with businesses such as Bealls Stores,” said Daniel Lyons, Florida Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs Executive Director. “We’d like to thank Bealls Stores – and their guests – for this generous donation as we continue to positively impact youth in our state.”

Changes are happening behind the scenesOne of the misconceptions about

computers (and the internet in general) that many people have is

this idea that things should work and look just as they did yesterday and the day before. I find myself explaining that the computer isn’t a static, stationary object like a VCR or a toaster but a dynamic moving target that changes every time something gets updated.

People are often surprised, shocked even, when they visit a site they go to every day only to find something has changed and nine out of 10 times the change came from a behind the scenes update that they didn’t have anything to do with. Often, by the time I get the call, hours have been wasted by the user trying to figure out what’s wrong on their end because “it’s never done this before.” The fact of the matter is every time an update happens on your computer or on the computer hosting a website that you visit often, code is being re written and things are changing. Now, you may not be able to see any evidence of a change but sometimes changes can have a big impact on the way a site looks or behaves.

I recently received the following email message from one of my readers and (with permission from Priscilla) I thought I’d share the exchange as it’s a perfect example of what can happen when a change is made behind the scenes and just how big an impact some changes can be.

To: Sean McCarthy Subject: Question about Secure Connec-

tionI am currently using Google Chrome as

my web browser. When I go to some websites, instead of getting the secure Icon (lock), I get an “i” icon. When I click on that it says the website doesn’t have a secure connection. However, if I use Internet Explorer, I don’t have a problem. What is the problem that I am having with Google Chrome?

Thank you in advance for your help.PriscillaHi Priscilla, thanks for writing.You actually aren’t seeing (or having) a

problem. Google made a decision a couple months ago that has angered just about the entire world wide web community. Google decided that for ANY site that didn’t have an “SSL Certificate” it (Chrome) would list the site in the info box (the “I” icon) as “un secure.”

Since most sites don’t use SSL because they are just “static” brochure like pages, they don’t need the SSL security certificate

as there is no data being passed back and forth that needs to be secured. Usually SSL or “secure” sites are in place for sites where you have to log in and pass information back and forth like Facebook or Gmail or banking. Most other sites that don’t require logging in just plain don’t need an SSL certificate.

When Google decided to just mark any site not using SSL as “unsecure,” they essentially blackballed millions of websites overnight.

Needless to say this has angered a whole lot of website owners.

The bottom line is there is nothing wrong – Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox don’t list sites without certificates as “un secure” because those browsers don’t care. It’s a Google Chrome thing and nothing to worry about.

I hope that helps. SeanThank you for your reply. It made me

feel better. Hope you are having a great weekend.

Priscilla Again, this a perfect example of how one

behind the scenes update (Chrome version 68, released near the end of July) changed the way Chrome handles plain old HTTP sites and suddenly, sites that have been “fine” for years are being presented as “un secure.” And since security is such a big issue, suddenly having every standard HTTP site present as “un secure” has many people really concerned.

Sometimes I long for the good old days when updates were somewhat controllable. Of course we’ve never really had any control over when a website like Yahoo or MSN updates but there was a time when we had a little more control over when a program on our own “local” machine updates. Now it seems like every program installed wants to “phone home” the minute it’s launched to see if there’s an update. And with constant updates there is constant change. That’s just the way it is.

Signs need regulationSeeing the multitude of campaign signs at

every turn, in every ditch and all along the roads, causes me to wonder if there are any regulations, and how are they allowed on property not belonging to the candidates?

And, who will pick them up afterwards?

'There ought to be a law'Many people say “there ought to be a law”

about pounding bass speakers. There really was a law; but no more.

After I retired from the New York Police Department, I took a job in 1992 as a law enforcement officer here. At that time, the Florida Motor Vehicle and Traffic Law pro-hibited loud music emanating from a motor vehicle, if the music or noise could be heard within a distance of about 20 feet from the vehicle. We enforced that law when neces-sary, writing a uniform traffic citation.

Unfortunately, as a result of a lawsuit claiming the law was unconstitutional in that operators of motor vehicles had a con-stitutional right to play music as loud as they wanted to, the court hearing the case agreed. That is why loud music from a vehi-cle is not enforced. (Local noise ordinances may apply if at night.)

Although I am still a law enforcement officer in my 48th year, all I can do now when some individual, who will likely go deaf in 20 years, pulls next to my patrol car with music blaring, is to look at the operator with a serious face. That usually results in the music being turned down.

Enforce littering laws on the beach

Unbelievably we still need to remind peo-ple not to litter.

We need to take some tax money and post

signs at all beach entrance accesses, on the lifeguard stands and throughout the beach. These signs should remind people to clean up their trash and to not use the beach as their ashtray. The signs should also post the minimum fines for littering and most importantly, the law should be enforced by police and beach patrol.

The fines collected would help offset the cost of enforcing the no littering law, but more importantly help clean up the beaches. How disgusting is it to see children playing in cigarette butts at the beach or to see all the cigarette butts piled up in the high-tide line.

Right of center is NazismFor those who claim that voting for any

candidates "anywhere left of center" means your vote would be one step closer to social-ism/communism: following that logic, vot-ing for anyone anywhere right of center would bring us one step closer to Nazism.

Ensure a senior’s well-beingHeat exhaustion can sneak up, causing

increased body temperature, rapid pulse, headache and fatigue. If you don’t get cool, you’ll dehydrate, possibly suffer a stroke, or worse, die.

Of 8,000-plus heat-related fatalities reported annually in the United States, 36 percent are among those age 65 and older, according to a Centers for Disease Control Heat-Related Illness Survey. Hospi-talizations for heat-related symptoms increase for those older than 85.

Those with elderly friends, relatives or neighbors are encouraged to take five min-utes to check in on them, particularly in very hot weather. Studies show there are far too few professional caregivers for aging adults, a trend expected to continue for the next 10 years or more, so non-professionals

play a vital role in keeping seniors safe. Giv-ing just a few minutes of your time to ensure a senior’s well-being can be highly reward-ing. You might even save a life.

Help to reduce media panicYes, if you live in a coastal region in the

direct path of a major hurricane, you should probably evacuate.

The media and governor had the entire state worked up into a panic for last year's "unprecedented" Irma. Sadly we did not learn from "unprecedented" Matthew in 2016. A hurricane slows down after it hits land, If you live in Orlando and inland com-munities you probably don't need to evacu-ate. The Chicken Little local news and the governor with their whole "get out now!" and "you will die" was way over the top.

There were so many people evacuating the highways were clogged for days and gas stations ran out of gas. The people who needed to evacuate, who kept cool and wait-ed to see where the storm was going to hit, now had to hours and hours of traffic jams and the possibility of going through the storm out of gas on the side of the road.

Let's be a little smarter for the next one, and by all means evacuate if you want to play it safe, but please, don't let the media sensationalism get us all worked up.

Irrigate politely, not the sidewalkReally people, your sidewalks are not

going to “green up” so would you stop sprin-kling them? If you can’t, could you put your irrigation timer on to water that zone before sunrise, so that dog walkers and children walking to school don’t have to walk in the street to avoid your sprinkler, which may be using reclaimed water? (yuck.)

We can’t continue to pile up problems for future generations

My children will never have the same level of comfort that my husband and I have had. I can’t even imagine what the future holds for my grandchildren.

Climate change may very well change life on earth. Add to that the fact that our retire-ment years are more uncertain today than ever before. Not only have we allowed the economy to implode, we’ve made sure that the next generation’s life expectancy is years less than ours.

How did we let this happen? I think it’s apathy. We saw things that were happening but thought that someone else would do something about it. I remember the saying “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” and we didn’t even realize it.

We can’t continue to pile up all these problems for future generations to solve. Do something — do anything — but get up and make a difference in your community.

“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” (Dalai Lama)

Commerce Ave.Founded as a one-man operation in 1988,

the company has mushroomed over the last three decades to employ dozens and is poised to more than double that with growth projected from the new expansion to a total of 100,000 square feet of manufac-turing space. Waterblasting Technologies manufactures a large variety of road- and runway-maintenance machines and it’s lat-est line developed over the past four years -- Stripe Hog, Paint Hog, Thermo Hog, Rum-ble Hog and Surface Hog -- have led to the addition of Hog Technologies to the compa-ny name, which he emphasized the day of the groundbreaking.

“Hog Technologies is made up of about 100 people and we’re making room, but this whole thing is not about building a build-ing,” he said. “It’s about building people. We’re a team that cares about our communi-ty and the region beyond.”

Both Senate President Joe Negron and Congressman Brian Mast attended the groundbreaking, with the latter praising Mr. Crocker’s entrepreneurial spirit.

“This is what this country is all about,” he said. “The ability to go out there, be an entrepreneur, have an idea, bring it to mar-ket, develop it, have all the people around in the community that are going to support you -- this is what community and this country is all about.”

Sen. Negron emphasized Mr. Crocker’s success in helping to turn the tables on the

trade deficit. The first automated machine manufactured by Waterblasting Technolo-gies went to the United Kingdom.

“I want to congratulate the importance of this business, particularly in Martin County, that we have a manufacturing company that’s building things and selling them all over the world,” he said.

Congressman Mast got a first-hand look at some of company’s exports when he visit-ed the current facility at 3170 S.E. Slater St. recently and saw runway cleaning machin-ery destined for the Airports Authority of India.

“This is amazing technology being creat-ed right here in Stuart, and it’s utilized all over the world,” he said. “The fact that this Stuart company exports nearly 30 percent of its entire revenue base is really quite impres-sive. Everyone knows that there are enor-mous trade deficits these days, so anytime we can offset that, that’s great news.”

Today’s manufacturing operation and huge employee base is a far cry from the small storage shed Mr. Crocker built in 1988 on a small parcel rented from the Hobe Sound Bible College to launch his pressure cleaning operation after graduating from the institution that same year. He said a “pivotal moment” came in 1997 when he bought his first 40,000 PSI water blaster and was hired that year by a West Palm contrac-tor to remove the yellow lines from a bridge deck near Southern Boulevard.

“He asked me when I was done doing the work how much I wanted,” he said. “It had only taken me 45 minutes to an hour, and he said $800 -- I couldn’t believe my ears. From that day to this, it has been my passion to

remove stripes and make it painless for the contractor.”

Soon Mr. Crocker leapfrogged to automa-tion by installing the spray heads on the front of self-propelled lawnmowers and his business grew by word of mouth throughout the road construction industry. His employ-ee base had then grown to about 10 workers.

“The process of referrals started happen-ing very quickly when contractors realized water blasting was so much faster than sandblasting and much less messier,” he explained. “The growth was phenomenal and contractors converted to the method. By 1999 I was adding vacuum recovery, and now I’m leaving the roads clean and almost dry and they don’t have to wait in order to repaint.”

The entrepreneur said his next major shift occurred in 2005, when Waterblasting Technologies sold its first automated unit to WJ Roadmarkings in Great Britain.

It took a really big change very quickly,” he added. “I couldn’t believe that the first sale came from the European market. It started growing very quickly and spread all over Europe.”

The addition of Hog Technologies and runway cleaning, which now includes vehi-cles such as the Rumble Hog that utilizes diamond teeth to carve rumble strips along the highway shoulder, had its origins in a visit to Key West in 2002.

“We were down at the Boca Chica Naval Air and I was down there removing paint from a runway and I saw all that black stuff [airplane tire skid marks] just a few steps away and I was curious about whether the machine would clean it up and it did,” he

said. “I asked the airport manager if he had to clean up that stuff, and sure enough with-in a couple of weeks during our time there, a big truck came out with chemicals and spray heads. I had the idea that I could adapt my machines with wider spray heads up to 14 inches wide.”

The company’s phenomenal growth led the Stuart/Martin County Chamber of Commerce to name Mr. Cocker its 2017 “Businessperson of the Year,” and Chamber President Joe Catrambone believes the Waterblasting Technologies founder has a unique story.

“I’m not sure that we’ve had a local home-grown success story more impressive than this one in my 30 years in this county,” he exclaimed.

Mr. Crocker believes his faith in God helped guide the decisions to buy the 12 acres adjacent to his current operation and then ask the city to annex all the property into the city limits, which will now enable his company to consolidate its manufactur-ing operations under one roof. Before that land came on the market, he had previously planned on moving the entire operation out by the county landfill.

“I had been leasing a 40,000 square-foot building on Market and Commerce, which housed the fabrication, machine welding, sandblasting, painting, and from there they go over to the assembly line a half-mile away by flatbed truck,” he said. “Now they’ll come right out of the fabrication and on to the assembly line.”

Waterblasting Technologies plans to hire up to 130 additional employees over the next three years.

Add some exotic tropical plants to your gardenWith the quiet hurricane season so

far, there is plenty of time to add some great plants to your garden!

How about adding some exotic tropical plants to your landscape? One of my favorites is a plant called the Travellers Palm. These graceful plants can add tropical splendor to just about any garden. The plants boast huge leaves that resemble those of a banana tree. In fact, the Travellers Palm is not a palm at all but rather it is related to the banana family. The plant can grow upwards to 20 feet at a very rapid pace. My plant has withstood three hurricanes and several freezes but still always comes back hard and strong. I have to do some major trimming after a hurricane but the plant has a remarkable ability to revive itself and comes back looking better and stronger then before. My Travellers Palm is nearing that 20-foot mark as we speak.

The Travellers Palm has some unique history in how it received its name. Many years ago back in the pioneer days, people traveling long distances on foot did not

have any of the conveniences we have today. Finding water was not as simple as going to the corner grocery store. Since these magnificent plants store abundant amounts of water in the base of their trunks, pioneer travelers could tap that water in the trunks of the tree and use it for drinking. That is how the name Travellers Palm came about. If you have ever have the opportunity to trim one of these trees, you will get nothing short of an unexpected shower!

A lot of people want a plant that gives them a great tropical look but they want something that will not grow really fast and stay small as long as possible. The Sago Palm may be the answer. These plants are actually not palms at all but are actually considered a cycad. And the plant boasts a

lacy appearance similar to a fern. These plants are very slow growers and will grow to around 10 feet. If you find a larger plant at a nursery, they will be costly mainly because of how long it takes to grow them. They are very hardy and mine has survived 3 hurricanes and several freezes with flying colors. They will make a great addition to your exotic tropical landscape.

If you have a shady spot around your house and want a real treat, try a Bamboo Palm. The plant features a reed like appearance, hence the name Bamboo Palm. The plant gives the viewer the image of exotic bamboo with small palm leaves. The plant can grow from 6–10 feet and is hardy to just below freezing. I have one that has been in the ground for about 10 years and has also survived hurricanes and freezes with flying colors.

The next exotic tropical on the list is the Washingtonian Palm. This palm is a very fast grower that can easily get to heights of 60 feet. This plant does great during periods of drought and extreme tempera-tures. It can easily tolerate desert heat into

the 100-degree range. The plant also will survive in an area where soil stays moist.

Today’s Garden Tip: Bougainvillea plants can be rooted if you use cuttings that are semi-ripe. These cuttings can take as long as 4-6 weeks to root and are best kept outdoors. Take your softwood cuttings from new plant growth that has not yet formed into hardwood. Make your cuttings about 3 inches long with at least 3 leaves on the stem. Dip the cutting into a rooting hormone such as Rootone or another similar product and then place in a good quality planting medium that is suitable for new plantings. It is beneficial to place the cuttings in a covered environment similar to a mini greenhouse. Hardwood cuttings can also be used but will take as long as several months to root. This rooting process may take some time so be patient.

nel Jason Kirk and South Florida Water Management District Executive Director Ernie Marks appeared resistant to change during the Stuart meeting and insisted the battle to reduce water discharges to the St. Lucie River and Caloosahatchee estuaries would continue.

“I think there’s a whole lot more fighting that needs to be done with the Army Corps and the Water Management District,” he said.

During the Aug. 17 meeting, Col. Kirk continually referred to the LORS manual as his “Op Order” and “battle book” and said he holds true to its regulations as much as possible. Acknowledging Congressman Mast’s request to lower lake levels in the dry season, he called “managing the water con-cerns of eight million people a balancing act” and admitted his Op Order dictated he refuse a desperate Southwest Florida request for more water during the last dry season.

“In early January, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast told Ernie and I that we were heading into a drought,” he said. “On Jan. 9 the Caloosa-hatchee stakeholders asked me for water. Because of that forecast and because of our goal per the battle book, to safely operate the lake between 12.5 and 15.5 feet through-out the year -- which is what my Op Order tells me to do -- I told the Caloosahatchee stakeholders you’re not getting more water. To get where we’re supposed to, we’re going to hold per the schedule.”

As far as this summer’s discharges, Col. Kirk said he held off as long as he could in spite of record May rainfall.

“So now I’ve got three times normal rain -- and not surprisingly in June with nutri-ents in the lake -- LORS now told us to do discharges so we could safely manage the lake through the hurricane season,” he said. “LORS actually told me to do discharges the third week of May; I used a little bit of dis-cretion that we have, and before your Memorial Day weekend, we didn’t start dis-charges. We used operational flexibility, but then on June 1, I started estuarine discharg-es.”

For his part, Mr. Marks backed up Col. Kirk’s concerns about dry season lake levels, referring to the severity of droughts begin-ning in 2006 and the extreme measures required by the South Florida Water Man-agement District at the time.

“The bottom dropped out and we got to the lowest record recorded lake stage at about 8.82 feet,” he said. “In September of 2006, the District had to purchase 14 tem-porary pumps for emergency use at Lake Okeechobee. In January of 2007, again we kicked it up a notch, with public outreach to conserve water. We sent weekly allocations, and then only those amounts to users, and we had to start working with the utilities, nursery growers and landscape associations so they could understand the severity of where we were going. In February 2007, we had public workshops for marinas and busi-ness owners around the lake -- there was no more water there to navigate.”

Congressman Mast told Mr. Marks his images of dry docks around Lake Okeechobee and withering lawns in South Florida would fail to impress Martin County or Southwest Florida residents surrounded by green slime.

“Our community is getting decimated here and there are communities on the west coast getting decimated,” he fumed. “It didn’t just happen this year: It happens year after year. This is something that is prevent-able, and it’s not an apples to apples compar-ison of people having to make sacrifices.”

The congressman then directed his com-ments to Col. Kirk, painting his refusal to consider lower dry season lake levels as con-tributing to “mission failure” in the rainy season.

“We’ve heard all of what you said happens with low water levels -- there are conse-quences -- but there are consequences to high water levels and what happens to our community as well,” he said. “You said your number one mission is integrity of the Her-bert Hoover Dike; every inch of water off Lake Okeechobee means less risk to that integrity of the dike around Lake Okeechobee. We are asking that you fulfill your mission of putting less risk to that dike; because when it gets to the point of where we’re at right now, when we say there was high rain that we could not anticipate, to let it get to that point and we have to send it out to estuaries, that cannot be the way going forward every single year for our communi-ty.”

Larry Williams, state supervisor for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, also spoke during the meeting at Congressman Masts’ request on the high number of manatees dying as a result of the brown tide infiltrat-ing different parts of the Indian River Lagoon.

“That’s a different form of algae from the blue-green algae, but the way it works is, the brown tide events happen and they shade out the sea grasses,” he said. “Manatees nor-mally feed on the sea grasses and when the sea grass is gone, the manatees start to eat seaweed, and the seaweed has a lower nutri-tional value and it basically causes physio-logical changes in the animals that they eventually die from. About 190 manatees have died in the Lagoon since 2012, and many of those, their stomachs were filled with this seaweed.”

As Mr. Williams spoke, a couple of heck-lers from the standing room crowd outside yelled out in response.

“The discharges have killed all our sea grass,” said one.

“100 manatees have died on Florida’s west coast!” yelled another.

Department of the Interior Deputy Assis-tant Secretary Scott Cameron attempted to calm the fears of the crowd in the packed chambers, which included more than 200 people straining to hear in the foyer,

“The Interior Department looks forward to continuing to work with the Congress-man and the Corps to get this work done as fast as we possibly can,” he said. “Our role essentially is to try and smooth out any reg-ulatory speed bumps that might be in the way of progress and to assist the Corps and the District with scientific information that might be helpful to more effectively manage the ecological impacts on the whole region and the very tough decisions that have to be made on a very regular basis in this part of the state.”

Congressman Mast also introduced sev-eral local and regional experts, including Martin Health Systems CEO Robert L. Lord Jr. who described part of the local health impact of the Lake Okeechobee discharges.

“Our emergency departments have come in contact with a good number of patients who have presented with a variety of symp-toms -- nausea, vomiting, skin rashes, coughing, shortness of breath, gout, achy limbs, joints -- that we have connected with contact with the river,” he said. “This year, 73 patients in our emergency departments have been treated for symptoms that we believe are related to blue-green algae.”

Florida Sportsman Magazine Publisher Blair Wickstrom mentioned the potential neurological dangers of cyanobacteria but also focused on the economic impact.

“This is larger than an ecological/health issue -- this is an economic issue,” he said.

“This is impacting the financial well-being of our state. Fishing is the number one activity in the State of Florida, bar none. I filmed a TV show with a local captain on the west coast. I called him last night, and he said ‘I’ve lost $25,000 in business the last two and a half months.’”

Sanibel Mayor Kevin Ruane put a face to the even worse ecological and economic damage faced by the Southwest Florida coast during the lake discharges this sum-mer.

“We are on the verge of collapsing an economy: 2016, 2017 and 2018,” he said. “It’s where we are, and honestly what we’re doing

isn’t getting it done. We understand the lake is rising, but when we don’t send it east and west, we need to do a better job. I’m for every project that was put up there, but they’re not going to be built quick enough. What am I going to do in the meantime? People are never going to come back here.”

Congressman Mast said Aug. 27 he now has his sights set on next year.

“My goal is to say as we’re moving into this winter season I get the Army Corps and the South Florida Water Management Dis-trict to get that lake level to a lower level than we normally do, and we don’t have to get to an emergency for next year.”

HoroscopesCheck out something 'Incredible' by signing up for a library card

Along with end of summer and settling into the back- to-school routine, the month of September marks Library Card Sign-up Month, a time when the Martin County Library System joins with the American Library Association and public libraries nationwide to ensure that every student has the most import school supply of all - a free library card.

Resources at the Martin County Library System are available to anyone with a library card. Students can depend on the library for materials, programs, and knowledgeable library staff that support academic achieve-ment. Libraries are instrumental in the edu-cation and development of children. Studies show children who are read to at home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning.

“We believe that learning to use a library creatively empowers everyone, especially young students because the same informa-tion seeking strategy is used when facing uncertainties throughout their lives,” says Deputy Library Director Richard Reilly.

This September, Martin County Library System strongly encourages parents, care-givers, and students to obtain a free library card that will save them money while reap-ing rewards in academic achievement and lifelong learning. Whether it’s providing

free access to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) pro-grams, educational apps, individual in-per-son and/or online homework help (such as Tutor.com), as well as a variety of other resources, a library card is one of the most cost effective back-to-school supplies.

This year, Disney’s “The Incredibles” are Library Card Sign-up Month honorary chairs, helping to promote the value of a library card and bring attention to the many ways libraries and librarians transform lives and communities through education.

Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to coincide with the start of the school year. Through-out the month, the ALA and libraries unite together in a national effort to encourage every child to sign up for a library card.

For more information on how to sign up for a library card, visit any MCLS library location or visit library.martin.fl.us and select ‘Get a Library Card’.

With the busy schedule that so many of us have these days, it’s not always easy to get in a full

round of golf. Sometimes, nine holes is just right. Throw in beautiful views and a breeze off the ocean, and you have a perfect quick round of golf.

Where does one go to find just such a treat? My quest took me to Island Dunes Country Club on South Ocean Drive in Jensen Beach. Located about 3.5 miles north of the round-a-bout at Jensen Beach Boulevard and State Road A1A, this track offers a nice get-away from the normal.

Island Dunes plays to a par of 31 from four sets of tees and measures from 1,738 yards to 2,126 yards long. There are four par-4s and five par-3s. While there is no driving range at the course, there are a few sets of tees and nets for those wanting to get in a few full swings before heading to the first tee.

The first hole may the most difficult par-3 on the course. Playing anywhere from 113- to 170- yards and playing due east, you can find yourself hitting anything from a wedge to a middle iron or hybrid depend-ing on how the wind is blowing. One of my buddies reports that when he plays a second nine the wind sometimes picks up so much in just a couple hours that he has to hit two to three clubs more just to get to the green.

The second hole is your first par-4. In addition to being the shortest of the par-4s, this hole also has the widest fairway. If you struggle to get the ball on the fairway here, you need to watch out for the mangroves and wetlands you will encounter over the rest of your round.

The third hole is a beautiful par-3. Measuring just 106 yards from the back, there is no excuse for missing the green here. If you do, you will find a challenging pitch or chip or bunker shot to a severely sloped green.

After a couple more par-3s and a short par-4, you come to he most challenging par-4 on the course, the 360-yard seventh. You tee shot here must hug the left side of the fairway or you will be blocked out and forced to hit a blind approach to a small green. Also, the longer your drive is, the narrower the fairway becomes and the more likely you are to find a bunker or waste area.

If you miss this green, you are better off if your ball lands left or short of the green.

The par-3 eighth is Island Dunes signature hole, and it is beautiful. In fact, the ride along the raised wooden bridge through the mangroves to the tee is soothing by itself.

Playing to 145- yards from the back tees, your tee shot must carry the mangroves and wetlands and land on a green that is only about 45- feet deep with the Indian River sitting behind. It’s an intimidating shot, as you have to take in the wind, the carry over the hazard, and yet try not to hit the ball onto the beach beyond.

The finishing hole is a beautiful, but frightfully narrow, 353-yard par-4 that runs along the river. The more you hug the river side of the fairway, the better your angle will be for your approach. A quirky feature of this hole is a short “Green Monster” wall that runs along the mangroves down the right side as you near the green. If you hit your tee shot far enough, you can play the carom and find your ball back in the fairway with a short wedge to a well-pro-tected green.

Island Dunes may not have monster yardage to intimidate the best players, but it does have very undulating greens and some narrow areas that will penalize wayward shots. Best of all, it’s an easy course to walk, and with the breeze off the ocean or the river, it’s a pleasurable way to enjoy a round. There is also public beach access just a few hundred yards away, so you can drop off the non-golfers for some beach time while you get in a quick nine.

I get a lot of heat from the Florida Auto Dealers Associations (FADA), auto manufacturers, and most car dealers

because I say “bad things” about the way they do business. In my own defense, I’m just one voice among most Americans that feel that the majority of car dealers are unethical and dishonest. The Gallup poll on “Honesty and Ethics in Professions” has been conducted every year since 1977 (40 plus years) and car dealers have never ranked above fourth from the bottom. Last year they were next to last, just below Congressman and above Lobbyists. All other retailers except car dealers have “gotten smart’ to match the intelligence and high demands of the 21st Century Ameri-can consumer, but car dealers are still selling cars the way they did in 1950.

The “Big Sale Event”. If you look online or on TV, you’ll find that most car dealers in your area are having a sale of some kind. It may be because of a current holiday, “too large an inventory” of cars, to “reduce their taxes”, “the manager is out of town”, or some other nefarious lure. Advertising 101 says that you should give the prospective buyer a “motive to act”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter whether the motive is real or not. The fact is that most car dealers do not sell their cars for less during “sales events” than they do at any other time. I point this out so

that you don’t rush your buying decision. If you don’t buy a car during the tight time constraints of a phony sales event, you can negotiate just as good a price the next day. The exceptions to this are legitimate rebates offered by the manufacturer. These often expire at the end of the month which is one reason why the “last day of the month” real-ly can be the best time to buy a car”.

“The Price I’m giving you is good only today”. If a salesman or sales manager tells you that, it is probably only a tactic to push you into buying the car. The only exception would be the expiration of a factory incentive. Once again, this is simply a tactic to push you into buying before you have a chance to do your comparative price shopping.

“I can’t give you my best price, but if you bring me another dealer’s price, I guarantee I’ll beat it”. Car dealers are afraid to give you their best price because they fear other dealers will beat if by a few dollars and they’ll lose the business. Guess what! That’s called “the free market place” and that’s the way all other businesses are conducted. The only retailer that won’t give you a final, out-the-door price is the car dealer. They’re still selling cars like they were sold in the middle of the 20th century. Can you imagine walking into Target or Macy’s and asking for the price of dress or a TV set and

the sales person tells you can’t have it unless you buy it right now?

“Take the car home tonight and see how you like it”. Driving the car, you’re consider-ing buying, home can be a good thing. It will give you a lot better idea about how the car performs, etc. However, there are two reasons the car salesman offers this. One is that you must leave the vehicle you might be trading in with the car dealer. This means that you cannot shop prices with other dealers. The second reason is the psychological impact of parking that new car in your driveway where your family and neighbors can see it. The slang expression for this is “the puppy dog”. If you were to take home a little puppy from the pet store, you and your children would fall in love with her and could not return her the next day. This same tactic is used when a customer has questionable credit. This is referred to as the “spot delivery” and the dealer will have you sign a form known as a “Rescission Agreement”. You might not even realize that you’ve signed it. It says that you must return the car immediately if the bank rejects your credit application. If you don’t comply, there are huge financial penalties.

I’ll hold the car for you, but you must give me a cash deposit. Deposits in Florida are nonrefundable only if that is stated in writing on the receipt for the deposit. Always get a written receipt and not just handwritten on the salesman’s business card. Read the receipt and be sure that it does not say in the fine print that refunds are nonrefundable. It’s a good idea to give them your credit card for the receipt instead of cash or even a check. You can always pro-

test the charge with your credit card company if the car dealers tries to unfairly keep your deposit.

“Make me an offer and I will take it to my manager for approval”. This is a very common tactic which you have probably already encountered. It’s not unethical. It’s simply part of negotiating. I point this out so that you are fully aware that this is part of the negotiating game. Be aware, that no matter what price you offer, the manager will ask you for more money. Even if you offered a high price that would be a very large profit for the dealer, the manager would ask you for more money. The psychology behind this is that if you suddenly accepted the offer, you may frighten the customer by thinking he had offered too much (which he would have). When you negotiate, you must be well versed on what is a good price for that car. Start out below the best price you think you can buy it for You can obtain fair prices for all cars online with Kelly Blue Book (KBB.com), Consumer Reports, TrueCar.com, and Edmunds.com.

Common deceptions by car dealersON CARSEARL STEWART

See EARL, page 18


Long before Mickey made his Florida debut in 1971, Downtown Orlando was drawing tourists to the shores of

Lake Eola, who came to view the flocks of beautiful white and black swans, cruise upon the water aboard swan-shaped boats and watch the colorful water ballet produced by the Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain, the city’s most enduring icon.

Today the area known as Thornton Park embraces the southwestern side of the lake and offers a charming, tranquil refuge within easy walking distance of all the downtown core has to offer.

Gloria and I first discovered the oak-lined brick streets of this enclave a few years ago when we paid a visit to the nearby Colombian consulate to renew her passport. We sensed its special charm that day and have returned twice in the evening hours to watch the nighttime light shoes of both the fountain and the lake’s musical Christmas tree during the holidays. For our recent weekend visit, we chose to stay in a truly unique spot in the heart of the neighborhood known as The Verandah at Thornton Park, a former complex of bed and breakfast inns that now serves as a popular venue for occasional free concerts, weddings, receptions and other special events. The facility offers two historic structures to rent, a studio apartment and a two-bedroom, two-bath home with a small swimming pool. We chose the latter via the Airbnb.com website and found it to be the perfect base for our constant wanderings, lying just a block or so from the southern shore of Lake Eola. Every morning I joined dozens of other downtown residents, visitors and the resident swans in my walk around the lake, whose broad 0.9-mile pathway makes for a delightful stroll day or night. Since we visited in late August, we were also grateful for the Grapefruit Line of the city’s free downtown air conditioned bus service known as LYNX Lymmo, which picked us up and dropped us off just a couple of blocks away on Central Boule-vard, the commercial avenue lining the western edge of the lake.

After our first morning stroll and a quick dip in the pool, we boarded the Lymmo to drop us off near the northern edge of the lake and the dock for the popular swan paddleboats. These charming four-person watercraft have long served as a Downtown Orlando image, although in the 1920s the boats were larger and not propelled by passenger power. We peddled out to the fountain for a few minutes to take photos before the summer heat drove us back to shore and the really air-conditioned Orange County Regional History Center just a couple of blocks away.

Housed in the historic 1927 Orange County Courthouse, this museum offers four floors of exhibits, including the building itself, designed by Florida’s first registered architect of Indiana limestone and Georgia granite. We started off on the top floor, where Gloria became enamored with the story of the Florida Seminole Tribe and the Pioneer Life exhibit, while I really enjoyed the Citrus Industry exhibit and many of the historical relics such as postcards and fruit crate images. The third floor offers sections on early transportation and aviation, and exhibits on both pre- and post-Disney tourism. I also enjoyed the fully restored Courtroom B, where I have my only photo ever taken behind the judge’s bench (shame I didn’t have the robe to put on!). The second floor of the museum is dedicated to Central Florida’s African American heritage as well as to traveling or special exhibits. The most striking exhibit presently is dedicated to the victims and survivors of the Pulse Nightclub shooting

two years ago, with photographs, personal tributes and other memorabilia created in the aftermath of the tragedy.

We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering the streets of Downtown Orlando, where we viewed the artworks on display at the CityArts Factory, which is part of the Third Thursday Gallery Hop downtown, characterized by food, drink and live entertainment on the streets. We were also mesmerized by the appearance of the Corona Cigar Company & Downtown Crown Lounge just down the street, the largest such establishment either of us had ever seen (and neither of us smoke cigars). The beautiful bank of wooden Nicaraguan rocking chairs outside tempt passersby to take a seat, while the intoxicating aromas and rhythm of Latin Music wafting from the doors lure them inside. Afterward we walked a couple blocks away to what was the famous Church Street Station night-clubbing district in the 1970s and 80s and from what Disney originally modeled its now-defunct Pleasure Island club district on (Now part of Disney Springs). You can still find a number of restaurants and clubs along Church Street, as well as one of the downtown area’s Sunrail stops, the region’s light-rail system similar to South Florida’s Tri-Rail service. Here you can board the train to go as far south as Downtown Kissimmee in Osceola County and as forth northwest as Deland in Volusia County.

On our second morning, we walked across the Veranda courtyard to Washing-ton Street, the brick-paved avenue that deadends on either side of Lake Eola. The section south of the lake is lined with cozy restaurants, taverns, unique boutiques and upscale hair salons. If you bring Fido or Fifi with you, you can even drop him or her off for a bit of canine pampering at Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming. The ambience of brick yesteryear also carries over onto nearby Summerlin Avenue, home to more restaurants and boutiques.

For lunch our second day we decided to board the Lymmo to head to The Boheme restaurant, part of the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Downtown Orlando, propelled by our culinary memories of its sister restaurant in Celebration a couple of years ago. Here Chef Laurent Hollaender did not disappoint, having delighted diners here for the last seven years.

We started out with an appetizer of stone-oven baked naan bread topped with fresh garlic, basil oil and Asiago cheese and accompanied by a bowl of hummus. For Gloria’s main dish, she ordered Chef Hollaender’s Seafood Cake packed with bits of lobster, crab and salmon and served with grilled asparagus, sweet potato fries and a roasted tomato aioli. I ordered one of the daily specials, the Shrimp Po-Boy (after all I’m from Louisiana!) which was served on very yummy grilled French bread and accompanied by some of the best French fries I’ve had in recent memory.

We ended our lunch with two different desserts: I opted for the more healthi-er-sounding Pineapple Sorbet (made with a touch of tequila and served with a coconut florentine cookie), while Gloria enjoyed the Apple Galette, a French puff pastry filled with fresh apples and topped with vanilla bean ice cream (yeah, hers was really decadent!). We both enjoyed the mysteri-ous and enchanting atmosphere created

here by the interplay of red and dark colors and wall paintings, which made us feel as if we were dining in the Moulin Rouge. Located directly across the street from the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, The Boheme is perfect for either a pre-show dinner or after-show nightcap. Also nearby is the Amway Center and the city’s new soccer venue, the Orlando City Stadium.

Our last evening in Downtown Orlando, we once again walked to Washington Street to visit Island Time, a beer and wine bar housed in one of the area’s historic homes. Located directly across the street from the main entrance to The Veranda, Island Time is rumored to serve the best Key Lime pie in Orlando and a very unique drink called Popmosa, which is a glass of champagne with a gourmet popsicle floating inside. I’m basically a teetotaler so I opted for the mango flavor of one of these and Gloria chose a craft strawberry Abita Beer (also from Louisiana!), while we snacked on the Cheese Plate of sharp aged merlot cheddar, Irish Dubliner cheese, an olive Giardiniera mix, roasted almonds, dried dates and crackers. Here we sat on a comfortable couch in the air conditioning and watched the patrons come and go on a busy Friday night. At one point it seemed we were the only ones the bartenders didn’t know by name and give a hug too, reminding us both of the coffee shop set on the Friends TV set. And although we didn’t have another Orlando experience to compare the cheesecake to, the Island Time version made by owner Audrey Davila was indeed worth the visit. Before heading back to our lodgings, we walked the short two blocks to Lake Eola to catch the 9:30 light show at the fountain and people-watch before retiring for the night.

Our final morning in Orlando we jumped in the car (for the first time since our arrival!) and drove to the Holy Land Experience, the only Orlando area attraction that’s a 10-minute drive from downtown. This Bible-story-based theme park originally created by late televangelists Paul and Jan Crouch in 2002 has really undergone a lot of changes since the last time we visited almost three years ago. A new artistic director has totally revamped the live performances with new themes and imbued the dramatizations with a much more operatic feel. The main venue, The Church Of All Nations, hosts the main storyline of a group of early Christians forced to hide in the Roman catacombs and the different stories they tell through flashbacks. The show is divided into four acts, which are timed with intermis-sion-like breaks to visit the smaller adjacent

venues where some of the same actors perform more up-close and personal scenes related to the main storyline. In the past, we found it difficult to see all the shows at Holy Land Experience due to timing constraints, but the new changes made it possible for us to see everything in an enjoyable and orderly fashion.

Downtown Orlando lies less than two hours from the heart of the Treasure Coast via the Florida Turnpike.

good for $3,000 discount on any car in his inventory. This is very common for online, direct mail, and TV ads too. Federal law requires new cars to have a price sticker on the window named the Monroney label. A discount from this suggested retail price gives you a fair basis for comparison. Unfortunately, most car dealers today, increase the suggested retail price substan-

tially with the use of an addendum to the Monroney sticker often referred to as a “Market Adjustment Addendum”. This “adjustment” can be several thousands of dollars. Be sure you know what the asking price is for the car when you have been offered a “big discount”.

I’ll sell you the car for $100 over my cost. The salesman will show you the invoice of the car and add $100. The invoice price of a car is NOT THE TRUE COST. The dealer invoice contains thousands of dollars in hidden rebates, holdbacks,

advertising kick-backs. The manufacturers are colluding with the dealers in this deception to raise the advertised and actual selling price of cars. Any car dealer would be delighted if he could sell every car at the factory invoice amount…he’d make a fortune.

The best protection from all the above is to find a car dealer that you can trust. Ask your friends about their experiences with dealers and call the Better Business Bureau and the County Office of Consumer Affairs. Unfortunately, this is a very difficult thing

to do. I recommend two third-party buying services, www.TrueCar.com and www.CostcoAuto.com. You must pay a fee to become a Costco member, but there’s no charge for TrueCar. You can also buy through Consumer Reports; they use TrueCar as dealer and pricing source. If you buy directly from a dealer, you better off to negotiate the price completely online. Remain anonymous so that you won’t be harangued by car salesmen. Use a different email address and don’t give them your real phone number.

I want to thank all the workers of America and Canada for giving us the national holiday of Labor Day.

Yes, it started in Canada. Labor Day can be traced back to a Canadian union strike parade in 1872. Unionization was consid-ered a crime at the time, so the parade prompted Prime Minister John A. Macdon-ald to repeal the anti-union laws, and a celebration followed.

Soon afterward the United States adopted the holiday, celebrating it in September. The long Labor Day weekend of fun, picnics and food became a signal of the end of summer and going back to school.

Growing up in Florida, I can remember hating to see Labor Day weekend come, because it meant the end of summer fun and jobs. No more corn dogs, cotton candy and snow cones, or going swimming or fishing. It was time to get ready to go back to school — mature, learn and one day enter the work force. That was many years ago.

Today, like millions of Americans, I look forward to the mini-vacation from work, but it always brings back memories of my childhood growing up in Florida near the oceans and seeing it every day and enjoying its pleasures. One day when I retire, I can go back to my childhood pleasures and eat a corn dog anytime I want, watch the sunset over the ocean, and when Labor Day comes it will be more enjoyable because every day after it will still be Labor Day! Funny how life goes full circle.

Now let us talk about food. No, I am not giving you a corndog recipe. That would be too easy. Buy a buttermilk pancake mix and follow directions. Add a tablespoon of corn-

meal. Pat dry the hot dogs and dip in batter and fry until golden brown. On the other hand, just buy them frozen.

The real food on Labor Day has turned into a weekend of BBQ and everyone cooking their favorite foods over fire. Here is a recipe that is surprisingly good.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend. You have earned it!
