Every $10 raffle ticket goes towardproviding Treasure Coast childrenand families with scholarship dollarsthat they can use toward the 87 pro-grams like gymnastics and tae kwondo or senior pilates and tai chi thatthe YMCA offers.

Teacher builds school in the Dominican RepublicMARTIN COUNTY —
Mary Cameron, a teacher atBessey Creek ElementarySchool in Palm City, is nostranger to overseas volun-teer work, but her mostrecent trip to the Domini-can Republic was possiblythe most affecting.
Lifetouch, a nationalschool and family photog-raphy company, invitededucators from all over theU.S. to participate in aMemory Mission to Con-stanza, Dominican Repub-
lic. In 2011 and 2012, pro-gram volunteers built anelementary school along-side local workers and thisyear Ms. Cameron helpedbuild a vocational schoolfor the students.
Most Dominican nation-als don’t have the option togo to a university, so a voca-tional school is their bestbet to develop skills and bea productive member oftheir community, Ms.Cameron explained.
Ms. Cameron has beenon seven similar trips tovarious countries before,but this is the first where
she actually built some-thing from scratch. She’spainted schools inMalaysia, Turkey andMorocco and worked onturtle preservation projectsin Costa Rico, among oth-ers, but now she can saythat construction is herfavorite.
“For me it’s really thesense of accomplishment,”Ms. Cameron said.
She mixed cement anderected block walls andworked with rebar andshoveled dirt and when sheleft there was a school,much more than the simple
framework that stood in itsplace when she first arrived.
But any service projectsare good service projectsand she is dedicated tobeing part of one everysummer. She was thrilled togo on an extra one this Jan-uary thanks to fundingfrom Lifetouch.
“I’m ridiculously passion-ate about going and doingthese trips and helping peo-ple,” Ms. Cameron said.
She knows the places shevisits often don’t have themoney or resources to com-plete such large projects ontheir own and it’s her pleas-
ure to help. But it’s not justthe lives of those she’s help-ing that are touched; shewas, too.
“These trips put my life inperspective and this onereally sledge hammered meover the head with perspec-tive,” Ms. Cameron said.“The island is absolutelybeautiful but the poverty isunbelievable.”
She said it makes herthankful for everything shehas.
“I feel unbelievablyblessed in my life,” Ms.

Club encourages new green thumbsMARTIN COUNTY —Stu-
dents at Anderson MiddleSchool have the opportunityto learn in the great outdoorsthanks to an educationalgrant from the Captain Plan-et Foundation and the Edu-cation Foundation of MartinCounty.
The Captain Planet Foun-dation was created to sup-port hands-on environmen-tal projects for youth andawarded $1,137 to sixthgrade science teacher Melis-sa Dubois to be used for herbrand new Green ThumbClub.
“Our goal is to create thisbeautiful outdoor learningcenter,” Ms. Dubois saidabout the brand new pro-gram she will be implement-ing at the Middle School.
It will be a complete out-door learning lab whereteachers can educate stu-
dents about insects, climatechange, sustainable garden-ing, even composting via ahands-on approach outsidethe classroom.
Ms. DuBois is partneringwith sixth grade scienceteacher Kirsi Johnson whoreceived a similar grant forher Native Keepers programthrough the EducationFoundation of Martin Coun-ty. Together they will be ableto create a complete outdoorlearning lab with a wide vari-ety of native plants and vege-tation.
“Kirsi and I are really excit-ed to start the first outdoorlearning lab filled with gar-dening and environmentallessons that will keep ourstudents excited about mak-ing the grade,” Ms. DuBoissaid.
It will offer a complete gar-dening experience for thestudents and offer them aplethora of learning oppor-tunities outside the class-
room, she said.It’s a natural fit for Ms.
DuBois who has a vegetablegarden and seeds germinat-ing in her windowsills athome. She loves teachingoutdoors and is excited toshare her passion for garden-ing with the students.
The program also kickedoff Anderson MiddleSchool’s participation in theGreen School Program andexemplifies the district’sCommon Core standards bycombining multiple subjectsin a real-world learning situ-ation.
“It’s a huge part in us earn-ing points towards becominga green school,” Ms. DuBoissaid. “And gardening is theperfect way to integrate sci-ence with reading andmath.”
Students in sixth througheighth grade will get to learnin the garden during classtime, but can also join theGreen Thumb Club and play
and plant in the garden afterschool hours every Wednes-day.
Ms. DuBois just orderedsupplies for the garden,including eight raised beds,tons of seeds, soil, gardeningtools and informationalbooks and many of the stu-dents can’t wait until theyarrive and the fun begins onFebruary 19.
“They ask me every day,‘When’s it gonna start,when’s it gonna start?’” Ms.DuBois said. “I think it’sgoing to be very valuable.”
Ms. DuBois is still lookingfor parents and master gar-deners to volunteer for anhour at the after school clubon Wednesday and localcompanies to donate itemslike stepping stones, pebblesand soil so the students canbeautify the gardens.
Anyone interested can callMs. DuBois at AndersonMiddle School at (772) 221-7100, Ext. 209.

When you’re workingto achieve yourfinancial objectives,
you will encounter obstacles.Some of these can be antici-pated — for example, youwon’t be able to invest asmuch as you want forretirement because you haveto pay for your mortgage.Other challenges can’t beeasily anticipated, but youcan still plan for them — andyou should.
Obviously, the word“unexpected,” by definition,implies an unlimited numberof possibilities. However, atdifferent stages of your life,you may want to watch forsome “expected” unexpecteddevelopments.
For example, during your
working years, be preparedfor the following:
• Emergency expenses — Ifyou needed a major car orhome repair, could youhandle it? What about atemporary job loss? Theseevents are costly — especiallyif you are forced to dip intoyour long-term investmentsto pay for them. To help guardagainst these threats, try tobuild an emergency fundcontaining six to 12 months’worth of living expenses, held
in a liquid, low-risk account.• Investment risk and
market volatility — Extremeprice swings are unpre-dictable, and they can affectyour investment success. Todefend yourself against wildgyrations in the market, builda diversified portfoliocontaining quality invest-ments. While diversification,by itself, can’t protect againstloss or guarantee profits, itcan help reduce the effect ofvolatility on your portfolio.And here’s one more thingyou can do to cope with theups and downs of investing:Maintain a long-termperspective. By doing so, youwon’t be tempted to overreactto short-term downturns.
• Long-term disability —
One-third of all peoplebetween the ages of 30 and 64will become disabled at somepoint, according to the HealthInsurance Association ofAmerica. Disabilities can beeconomically devastating. Aspart of your benefits package,your employer may offersome disability insurance, butyou may need to supplementit with private coverage.
• Premature death — Noneof us can really predict ourlongevity. If somethinghappens to you, would yourfamily be able to stay in yourhome? Could your childrenstill attend college? To protectthese goals, you needadequate life insurance.

It started with a single officein Baltimore, Md., and hasgrown to 32 locations in sixstates, including one in Stuart.
Patricia Song is now thepresident, having taken overfrom her father in 2008, whotook over from his father inthe 70s.
“I always felt that the familybusiness game me the oppor-tunity to do exciting work…and to continue the work mygrandfather started,” said Ms.Song, who originally consid-ered going into law.
But she’s proud of the com-pany and how it’s grown,exceeding the pace of theindustry with its full servicetermite and pest control andoutstanding customer serv-ice.
“We’re a leader in pest con-trol,” Ms. Song said.
She attributes that successto many factors, including thecompany’s longevity and sta-
bility, their highly-trainedteam of inspectors, and theirscientifically-backed prod-ucts and services.
A team of entomologistsdesigned the protocols for thecompany and ensures thatthe techniques and programsHome Paramount Pest Con-trol utilizes begin with anunderstanding of pest behav-ior and biology.
The company offers stan-dard and “green” programs fora full range of pest control andprevention, which manySouth Florida residentswouldn’t live without.
“This market has such sig-nificant pest pressure,” Ms.Song said. “We saw an oppor-tunity in the market to pro-vide a line of professionalservices that the people of theTreasure Coast would appre-ciate.”
In addition to full-serviceoptions, the Stuart location isunique in that it also offersretail sales so do-it-yourselfresidents have the option oftackling their pest controlproblems using a professionalproduct.
For those who prefer to let
the professionals take care ofthings, however, Home Para-mount Pest Control offersfree, no-obligation inspec-tions to let residents knowthat they’re there to help.
“I love being able to ease[customers’] pain when theycome in and have a pest con-trol problem of any kind,” saidPatrick Powers, Home Para-

Local teen winsnational contest
MARTIN COUNTY — LilyCardone has always been ahardworking teenager. Shevolunteers at her church,maintained a 5.95 GPA evenafter back surgery last year,and can now call herself thewinner of ABC’s Make Me aStar competition.
The nationwide competi-tion accepts audition tapesfrom teenagers all over thecountry hoping to jump-starttheir acting career. Lily heardabout the contest from afriend and decided – ratherlast minute – to take part.
She took what little timeshe had after school, hair stilla bit unruly from a long dayof classes, and filmed herselfreciting the script that ABCprovided.
A month later, she wasthrilled to find out she was asemi-finalist and three weeks
after that, one of four final-ists.
“It was crazy. From thebeginning we didn’t expectanything from it,” Lily said.“When I found out I was asemifinalist I was like, theyliked my tape, frizzy hair andall!”
Her second audition tapewas posted online, givingfriends and family a chanceto vote for her. She and herfamily posted a link to herentry on Facebook and Twit-ter and Martin County HighSchool, where Lily attends asa sophomore, even promotedit in their news.
All of her hard work paidoff. On Jan. 31 executivesfrom ABC contacted Lily viaSkype to let her know she hadwon the competition.
“Oh my goodness, I was sohappy,” said Lily’s momDebbi Cardone who wassquealing in the backgroundas Lily got her good news.
Lily was also thrilled andsurprised, exuberant thatABC liked her tape. In addi-tion to the compliment she’llbe receiving $10,000 and asix-month holding contractwith ABC that may get her apart in a TV show or promo-tion for the station. It mightmean she’ll get a chance tohead to Los Angeles.
“That would be really excit-ing. It would be an amazingexperience,” Lily said.
She’s been acting since shewas 5 and never thoughtmuch would come of it, butas she got older she devel-oped a passion for it.
“I just love it. It’s somethingthat comes naturally to me, Iguess,” Lily said. “I like thatI’m able to become some-body else.”
She’s been in commercials,short films, even an inde-pendent feature film called“As Night Falls,” but her MakeMe a Star win will help heralong to the acting career shedesires.
“I am so proud of her. Shetries hard at whatever shedoes,” Mrs. Cardone said.“Her future is going to be verybright.”

Unearned income?Why can people who sit around and have kids they can’t
take care of get so much money back from the govern-ment? I think the tax credits for income that isn’t earned isridiculous.
Sit on lazy behinds all day collecting welfare and foodstamps and have the government pay for medical expens-es, and then cash in on their tax returns. It sounds like apretty easy way of life to me.
Public transportationAs the area grows, more teens and elderly people are in
need of transportation. It would be in the best interest ofthe entire community if there were better forms of publictransportation for these two populations to use.
More teens and older people cause accidents, so why notgive them an alternate way to get around?
Smoking standardsThere are many occasions when I see a cook or clerk out-
side a restaurant of place of business smoking, only to comeback inside, stinking like nicotine, and handle food or clothes.It’s disgusting, and more business owners should set rulesand regulations regarding smoking during business hours.
Regarding food-stamp useI have to respond to the person who complained about
people paying with food stamps. Things are not always as they seem. I lost a job that paid
$88,000 a year in 2013. My husband is on disability, so I wasthe primary breadwinner. Since then, our house has lostvalue to the point that it is worth less than what we paid for it10 years ago, and we are in foreclosure.
Using all of my retirement money, we tried to start a busi-ness because at older than 50 years of age, I could not find ajob. We closed that business last fall.
Unemployment benefits have run out. Our credit cards arecharged up to the limit trying to pay our water bill, electricbill and gas bill, not to buy "extras" like clothing! The "new"Nissan SUV that I drive was purchased when our income wasmore than $100,000 a year and we will probably have to let itbe repossessed because I can't sell enough of our householdgoods on eBay to make the next car payment.
I've had exactly two job interviews, with no one even both-ering to call me back to let me know that they weren't inter-ested.
I've worked since I was 15 years old, and paid into a systemthat I never thought I would need. But now I do need it, andyou know what? I'm damn well going to use it.
So before you judge someone who is using food stamps tokeep their family fed you need to know the story behind it.The only reason I know the woman in the story wasn't me isbecause I've already sold or pawned all my gold jewelry, whatlittle of it I had.
One person’s opinionThe president did his state of the union address, and let’s
see… he sold the American people a big lie and the oneswho voted him in are the ones who think others need to payfor them. We need a change in this country. Let’s quit givingmoney out to those who produce kids just to be on welfareand cut out Social Security Disability, two of the mostabused systems we have. And the federal government wantsthis. Not only is this absolutely non-essential but it does notstimulate anything. Quit giving these people money to helpthem make them take classes to gain work skills. Sitting athome and listing to the poor variety of noise that they dodoes not educate them. The liberals have it all wrong. Givingthese people money is not an answer, it adds to the prob-lem. These people require education. And Fort Pierce is sopoverty stricken with people who are dependent upon thegovernment. There’s not going to be jobs here when youhave an uneducated public. When the money’s gone then
where will these people who came to rely on welfare or anyother government support be? Hmm, good question. Ifyou’re someone who sees a female in a grocery store with afew kids with a very glum look on her face, trick her intoanswering a question on how she affords those kids. Intoday’s economy you have to work 2-3 jobs. If they’re buyingjunk good chance they’re not doing that well. I’m all forstarving them out. Perhaps you won’t see them driving anice ride or wearing nice shoes. That’s all there wardrobe istheir idea of showing off. Perhaps a few gold teeth too. Theseare the individuals who fail to think for themselves.
From a server’s point of viewWe hear a lot about bad service from people who haven't
ever been in the hospitality industry nor worked in servicejobs such as waitress/food server. I also hear from a lot ofexperts on motherhood from people who haven't ever beenone.
Waitressing is a bit like being mother to a mob sometimes.You have to subdue the loud and potentially dangerous onesbefore you can service the quiet and peaceful ones. We're notignoring you; we're trying to do our job, which is, first thingsfirst.
If you can give us an order for food simply and completelybefore you sit down, we will grab our pads and take that. Butif you've caught us in a busy moment, there are times whenyou have to wait. Many people do prefer fast food restaurantsfor this reason.
Mornings are especially hectic at a family restaurant, justas in a home with lots of kids. It is one of the most difficulttypes of businesses to do well and endure in. The drink ordertaker and the food server usually have two separate jobs, inorder to serve you more promptly.
If you are assertive and say, "Hi, I would like such-and-so,make it such-and-so," the usual response by the server is totry to make your request known to the cook as quickly aspossible. She may have handed him the order already, andyou don't even know it.
We cannot be as fast as the assembly line at Wendy's, but,hopeful, you do enjoy the personal and friendly smile andattention from a real person instead of a plastic bozo head!
Traditional family restaurants are dedicatedly trying tohang in there against the tide of the "fast food" restaurant.
We are distressed at times about things that have to dowith our own personal lives and not a reflection on our feel-ings for you.
I’m a senior citizen, except at the restaurantI'm 56 years old. I can go to the senior citizens center and
be admitted as a senior citizen. I can go and get a haircutand get a dollar off for being a senior citizen.
Yet I am not considered a senior citizen when I go to somerestaurants. Their requirement for being a senior citizen is60 years old, for some reason.
I cannot go to a lunch at a church for the same reason.So why are there different age eligibilities, when one age
should determine whether we are senior citizens, or not.As far as I am concerned, there should be some sort of law
concerning what is the age of senior citizen and all stores,churches, eating places and such would be the same ageand not to be whatever age they want.
Thank you for your attention.
America, are we still beautiful?"Pretty is as pretty does." My grandmother was very fond
of that saying, as was my mother. And I suppose my great-grandmother taught it to her daughter, and so on.
America was beautiful once, that is, until superfluouspride ran off with its integrity. We have cracks in our founda-tion. And we're building ourselves bigger and more upon aslippery mountain slope.
The inevitable muddy landslide has already begun, yet somany builders — the “movers and shakers'' as they like tocall themselves — are so enthralled with heathen-headypleasure that they don't seem to notice they are about todemolish the whole project that began in the 1770s.
If we, as a nation, do not fetch ourselves up sharply, itcould all be over for U.S. in about 50 years.
Nothing will matter for me, myself, and I in 50 years. I'mprobably not going to be alive past 100 years of age, but whatabout my grandchildren? What about yours?
Religious freedom: It's a wonderful thing. Remember thefoundation? But the words say, "... Freedom of religion,” notfreedom from religion, and there is a big difference.
No religion? Anarchy? How's that working for U.S.?Pick a religion, any religion, and get back in the box, kids.Autonomy is something you can have after you learn,
study and practice the rules for living a safe, sound, practicaland productive life.
Religion contains the rules. Spirituality is the product. Reli-gion times work equals right spiritual living. You kids wantthe spiritual rewards, but you don't want to follow the ruleslaid down by all of your forefathers. It won't work that way!Honor thy father and mother. Don't reinvent the wheel. Andask yourselves, when is enough, enough?
Iwas backing up some dataa while back to an externalUSB drive, when I noticed
a behavior that is notuncommon at all.
As I began backing up thecontents of a rather bloatedMy Documents folder(gigabytes worth of data),during the copy process Inoticed the "estimated timeremaining" figure wasjumping all over the place.
It started out sayingsomething like 48 minutesremaining, and then jumpeddown to 30, 18 and then 11minutes.
As I watched the file copyprocess progress, I noticedthe estimated time remain-ing figure stayed at 11minutes for more than anhour. The progress bar wasmoving slowly to the right,and just as I thought the filetransfer was just about over,the progress bar jumpedback about a third of the wayacross.
The time remaining figurejumped to a whopping25,464,387 minutes. Consult-ing my trusty calculatorwatch, I figured that25,464,387 minutes was theequivalent of 17,683 days or48 years. No, that couldn't beright.
As I watched, the numberbounced around some,dropping from the incrediblyhigh 25 million mark anddropping to more manage-able numbers, such as 45minutes, 28 and once again11 minutes and there itstayed for another 45minutes.
I finally got fed up withwatching (it's like watchingpaint dry) and shut off themonitor, so I don't knowwhen it actually finished. Butwhen I came back to it in themorning, the file copy wascomplete. And it didn't take48 years. But it got methinking; what is thisestimated time remainingbusiness all about, and canthat figure ever be trusted?
I've certainly seen thatbehavior before with otherfile copy operations, down-loads from the internet, CDburning and other similarprocedures, and I've alwaystaken that number with agrain of salt, but that 25million figure caught myattention. What is going onwith this picture?
Well, in order to under-stand why that numberfluctuates so wildly, it'snecessary to keep in mindthat, on any given computer,what's happening at any
given moment is not neces-sarily the way things aregoing to happen in the nextmoment. So the "estimated"part of "estimated timeremaining" is just that anestimate based on theconditions taken at thatparticular time slice. Andwhat happens, from second-to-second is those conditionsare changing. Rapidly.
What that means is whenthe computer starts a filetransfer; it grabs hold of achunk of data and looks tosee how much bandwidth isavailable. Then it bases itsestimate of how long it willtake on that. But thatestimate does not take intoaccount things such as theoverhead activity betweenthe device and the computerand how much of the bufferis still available, etc., youknow, lots of other technicalthings that are happening atthe same time as the datatransfer.
Let me rephrase it like this:As soon as the file transferstarts, all the figures thecomputer based its' estimateon change, because of theway computers do things.
What that boils down to isthe estimated time fortransfer is rarely accurate,because the conditions areconstantly changing andcan't be relied on, especiallywhen it predicts that it willtake 48 years.
One question that isbound to come up is: "Is thisstrictly a Windows issue?"and to that I would have tosay no. I've observed thesame behavior on my Macsas well as my Windows boxes.
So that, in a nutshell, is anexplanation for the never-accurate estimated timeremaining issue that I'm surewe've all experienced at onetime or another.
I would personally like tosee them do away with theestimated time figure andjust stick with a graphicalprogress meter. That wouldmake a whole lot more sensethan the arbitrary numberswe get now, and they areeasier to read at a glance.

Consumer Reports isconsidered to be thejournalistic icon of
consumers’ rights in Ameri-ca. I have written columns forthis blog and HometownNews. I’ve advocated on myradio show for ConsumerReports. I considered themthe single most reliablesource for consumersselecting the best productsand sellers of those products,and I still do.
Since 1936 ConsumerReports has set the examplefor unbiased, scientificevaluations and opinions onvirtually every productAmericans buy. They report,not only on products andservices, but those who sellthose products and services.They accept no advertising orany other consideration fromcompanies. In fact, they willnot even allow a company touse their name if they haveendorsed a product of thatcompany. When ConsumerReports recommends aproduct, you can be sure thatit is their honest belief thatthat the product is a goodone. Everyone is entitled toone honest mistake and Ihave to believe that this wasthe case with ConsumerReports.
Consumer Reports offersan auto-buying service to its
members and charges $12 togive their members “Con-sumer Reports bottom lineprice” to buy any new car.They sublet this to an outsidecar buying service, TrueCar,which provides this data. Infact, TrueCar provides thisservice directly to car buyersfor no charge at www.True-Car.com, whereas CR charges$12 for each car you want toget the “best” price on. In fulldisclosure, I’m a member ofTrueCar’s national dealercouncil. I’ve written aboutTrueCar in Hometown Newsand my blog, highly recom-mending them, just as I haveConsumer Reports. TrueCar,as a result of my advising andurging, will be moving soonto require all car dealermembers of the TrueCarprogram to more clearlydisclose the “true,” bottomline price.
Consumer Reports isinadvertently leading theirmembers who purchasewhat they believe to be the“bottom line price” a pricewhich is actually muchhigher than the bottom line.In the example above, the“estimated dealer price” of$22,253 with “estimatedsavings: $4,782” on a new2014 Toyota Prius, is actually$23, 252, almost one-thousand dollars higher! Theestimated savings are only$3,783, not $4,782.
The extra $999 that the
dealer adds to the bottomline price is disclosed in thepricing that CR gives theirmembers, but it’s disclosed inthe fine print and below thefocal point of their documen-tation which states, “This isyour Estimated Dealer Price”and the price is featured inbold print and color. Somemight say that as long as theextra dealer profit notincluded in the “bottom line”price is disclosed in the fineprint, CR’s done nothingwrong. First of all, this is notthe way Consumer Reportsdoes business. CR is vehe-ment against fine print adsthat trick buyers. This issuewas actually brought to myattention by a very welleducated, intelligent con-sumer who was tricked bythis very CR “bottom line”price. She brought it to theattention of her mother (whohappened to be my wife)because she thought myprice (I’m a Toyota dealer)was higher than the othertwo dealers’ prices. If anintelligent woman that is acollege graduate and invest-ment banker can be dupedby Consumer Reports’“bottom line price, whatchance has the averageconsumer?
Florida law requires thatthat dealer fees aka “DealerProcessing Fees” and manyother names be included inthe advertised price of thevehicle. I’m not a lawyer, but Ithink a good argument couldbe made that this informa-tion emailed to a prospectivecar buyer could be construedto be an advertisement. Thisparticular dealer adds $999 tothe Consumer Reports’
“bottom line price”, but hecould add as much as helikes. In fact, Florida law hasno cap on the amount of fees(by names limited only by theimagination of car dealers)that dealers can add to theirquoted prices. The phrase,dealer fee, is used only forconvenience; other feenames commonly used aredealer prep, pre deliveryinspection, tag agency,electronic filing, administra-tive, doc., documentary,notary and closing, etc. If adealer thought he could getaway with it, he could chargea million dollar dealer fee andFlorida would deem thatlegal! Florida requires that thedealer disclose on the invoicethe following: “This chargerepresents costs and profit tothe dealer for items such asinspecting, cleaning, andadjusting vehicles, andpreparing documents relatedto the sale.” The truth beknown, added cost to theprice of a product is definedas “profit” so the disclosureshould simply read thischarge represents profit tothe dealer, period.
I know that ConsumerReports is not aware of any ofthis and hopefully they willread this blog or HometownNews column and realizethat they are inadvertentlyaiding and abetting dealers inunfair and deceptive adver-tising and sales practices. Ifyou are a subscriber/mem-ber of Consumer Reports orhave used their auto-buyingservice, please considercalling and or emailing themon this subject. Maybe youshould send them a copy ofthis column.

ment, and during yourretirement years, you maywant to focus on thesechallenges:
• Living longer thanexpected — You probablydon’t think that “living longerthan expected” is necessarilya bad thing. However, alonger-than-anticipated lifespan also carries with it therisk of outliving your money.Consequently, you may wantto consider investmentsolutions that can provide
you with an income streamthat you can’t outlive. Also,you’ll need to be carefulabout how much youwithdraw each year from yourvarious retirement andinvestment accounts.
• Need for long-term care— If you had to stay a fewyears in a nursing home, thecost could mount to hun-dreds of thousands of dollars.These expenses couldjeopardize your financialsecurity, so you’ll need toprotect yourself. You could“self-insure,” but as thatwould be extremely costly,you may want to “transfer the
risk” to an insurance compa-ny. A financial professionalcan help explain yourchoices.
None of us can foresee allthe events in our lives. But inyour role as an investor, youcan at least take positive stepsto prepare for the unexpected— and those steps shouldlead you in the right directionas you move toward yourimportant goals.

Heart Health Month
Hypertension, oftenreferred to as high bloodpressure, affects millions ofpeople across the globe.According to the AmericanHeart Association, morethan 76 million adults in theUnited States alone havebeen diagnosed with highblood pressure. But evenchildren and teens can suf-fer from hypertension, mak-ing it a formidable but large-ly preventable foe.
Understanding highblood pressure, or HBP,may encourage adults andchildren alike to take stepsto maintain a healthy bloodpressure, which can reducetheir risk of heart attack,stroke and kidney disease.
What is HBP?HBP is often associated
with men and women whoare considered to be con-stantly on edge, nervous orhyperactive. But even laidback men, women andchildren can suffer fromHBP. As a person's heartbeats, it creates pressurethat pushes blood throughthe body's arteries andveins. Those arteries aremade of muscle and asemi-flexible tissue thatstretches when the blood ispumped through them.The more forcefully thatblood is pumped, the more
that flexible tissue isstretched. When the tissueis stretched too much, aperson is at an increasedrisk of suffering from a hostof problems, includingblood clots, plaque buildupthat can lead to heartattack and stroke, and tis-sue and organ damagefrom arteries that have nar-rowed or become blocked.
Are there symptomsof HBP?
The AHA notes that HBPis typically devoid of symp-toms. So people sufferingfrom HBP may not know itif they have not routinelyhad their blood pressurechecked. Over the yearsmany myths have prevailedregarding HBP. Such mythscan be dangerous, givingpeople a false sense ofsecurity regarding theirblood pressure. For exam-ple, in the early 1900s it wasassumed that people withhigh blood pressure experi-enced more frequentheadaches than those withhealthy blood pressure.However, a study pub-lished in the journal Neu-rology found that peoplewith high blood pressurewere significantly less likelyto have headaches thanthose with healthy pressurereadings. Nosebleeds havealso been linked to highblood pressure, but onestudy found that 83 percentof patients treated for highblood pressure did not suf-fer from nosebleeds.
Debunking such myths isimportant, as it furtheremphasizes the need toreceive routine blood pres-sure readings as the onlyreliable means for men,women and children todetermine if they havehigh, low or healthy bloodpressure. Anyone experi-encing frequent headachesor nosebleeds should con-sult a physician but shouldnot assume such occur-rences are a byproduct ofhigh blood pressure.
Can certain foodshelp reduce highblood pressure?
One rumor concerningHBP actually has somemerit. A heart-healthy dietthat includes the followingfoods can help men,women and children man-age their blood pressureand reduce HBP if neces-sary:
* Blueberries: Blueber-ries contain anthocyanin, anatural compound that arecent study published inthe American Journal ofClinical Nutrition foundcan protect the bodyagainst HBP.
* Whole grain cereal: AHarvard University studyfound that whole graincereals that are high in fibercan reduce a person's riskof developing HBP.
* Beet juice: A study fromBritish researchers pub-lished by the AHA in itsjournal Hypertensionfound that a glass of beetjuice can lower blood pres-sure in a matter of hours.
* Low-fat dairy products:A 2008 study that examinednearly 30,000 women at anaverage age of 54 foundthat those who consumedthe most low-fat dairyproducts, including skimor low-fat milk, were signif-icantly less likely to devel-op high blood pressurethan those who consumeddairy products that werehigh in fat.
HBP is a common prob-lem that affects millions ofpeople of all ages across theglobe. There are severalways men, women andchildren can reduce theirrisk of HBP and lower theirblood pressure if it'salready high.
Few people are unaware ofheart disease and its poten-tially devastating effects. Butmany people may not knowthat the term "heart disease"is a blanket term used todescribe several health prob-lems related to the heart.
According to the WorldHealth Organization,ischaemic heart disease,which is characterized by areduced blood supply to theheart, is the leading cause ofdeath across the globe.Though many conditions arecharacterized as ischaemicheart disease, many othersare not, and the WHO notesthat other heart conditions,including stroke, are alsoamong the top 10 mostdeadly diseases in the world.The following is a rundownof some of the more com-mon heart conditions, manyof which can be prevented ifmen and women make theright lifestyle choices.
AnginaAngina occurs when a per-
son has chest pain or dis-comfort around their heartbecause the muscle is notgetting enough oxygen-richblood. Angina can be abyproduct of elevated levelsof stress or overexertion andmay even be caused byclogged arteries. All cases ofangina are not the same. Sta-ble angina is the most com-mon form, and usually fol-lows a pattern that iscommon among patients.Unstable angina is less pre-dictable, while variant angi-na, the rarest form of thecondition, occurs while aperson is at rest. Rest andmedicine are at the root oftreating angina, which ismore easily treated once itscause has been determined.
AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis is charac-
terized by the buildup of fattymaterials in the arterial walls.
This fatty material can hard-en over time, restrictingblood flow and resulting incalcium deposits. Daily exer-cise and a healthy diet void ofhigh-fat, high-cholesterolfoods are two ways to preventor treat atherosclerosis.
Cardiac ArrestCardiac arrest is a culmi-
nation of several heart con-ditions, including anginaand atherosclerosis. Alsoknown as a heart attack, car-diac arrest occurs whenblood and oxygen are unableto reach the heart. Chest dis-comfort; discomfort in otherareas of the upper body,including the arms, back,neck or jaw; shortness ofbreath with or without chestdiscomfort; and nausea orlightheadedness may all beindicators that a person isgoing into cardiac arrest.
HypertensionAlso known as high blood
pressure, hypertension is arelatively common heartcondition. Nearly everyadult has likely received ablood pressure reading atone point in his life. Thatreading measures the sys-tolic pressure, which is thepressure created when theheart beats, and the diastolicpressure, which is the pres-sure in the heart when it is atrest. A blood pressure above120 over 80 is consideredhigh, and that high figuremight be caused by salt andwater levels in the body andthe condition of the body'skidneys, nervous system andblood vessels, as well as thebody's hormone levels.Treating hypertension is rel-atively simple, as a doctorwill typically recommendsome dietary changes andmay even prescribe medica-tion for those patients withespecially high blood pres-sure.
StrokeStroke occurs when the
blood supply to any part ofthe brain is interrupted.Potentially deadly, stroke cancause paralysis as well. Trou-ble speaking, loss of coordi-nation and trouble movinglimbs may be indicative ofstroke, which is considered amedical emergency thatrequires immediate medicalhelp. The longer a persongoes between the onset of astroke and seeking treatmentoften determines the severityof the consequences.

Beautiful Florida weather makesany day a great day to fishIt’s a sunny 80 degrees with
a little wind from thesouth east... Yes, it’s south
Florida. I love this place.Surf anglers, it is a beauti-
ful day but the pompano arenot cooperating. There arelots of small fish; someanglers have caught 10 andnot one in the limit.
Well we know the pom-pano are here so where arethe big fish? Pompano are aschool fish and they run inabout the same size. Veryseldom will you find a largerfish in the school or veryseldom will find a small fishin a school of large but wherethere is one you will find theother. We would all like tosay a longer cast will find theone you are looking for, butsometimes the fish you arelooking for could be on the
short side. If you are in aschool of small fish trycasting your bait beyond orjust a short cast and let yourbait set for a few momentsthat could be your answer.I’m still waiting for someBlue fish reports but thesmall pomp's seem to beholding the attention.
Cut bait is working for theblues fish. They are excellenttable fare. Three to fivepounds is perfect table size. Ihave heard about them atmany beach access points.In the mix has been mac’s
and jacks with plenty of rodpullers among them. Locatethem with a piece of meatthen you can cast a spoon.There’s still plenty of whitingand croaker out there, so youmight say dinner is surecatch.
Off shore, the dolphin havebeen a hard find. I’m not surewhy, the conditions areperfect. Polite seas makecolor lines easy to read andbaits easy to locate. Have youtried adding your teaser toyour spread? Slow down andlet your baits out further, runthem closer, try adding aMylar skirt to your baits.Don’t be afraid to changethings around. Fish that Ihave heard of have been atthe 150-foot mark, so tryrunning deeper. There havebeen some sails on theweeds with plenty of snapperfor the bottom anglers.
Cobia seemed to havespread out, but you can stillfind them in that 20/40 feetof water north of the JensenBeach, live baits are pre-ferred. Keep an eye out forthe permit, they are in themix. Spanish Mac’s are aplenty south of the inlet, starta chum line with some glassminnows and the fish willcome to you.
Trout are deep. Anglers arereporting fish in channelsand deep water, not a lot butfish. Most said it took a lot ofeffort to find and put one inthe boat.
Slot reds are in school,when one is on the restscatter, so where did they go?Pay attention you know itwill happen so watch theschool, then you know whereto drift, soft rubber baitswere tops.
Blues and Jacks providedmost of the action this week,they don’t care when one ison the rest will come to seewhat he is eating, not sureabout this group.
Snook season opened onthe first with no fanfare. I didnot see many anglers, butthose who did go using a flairhawk found fish.
Oh well just anotherbeautiful day in southFlorida.

Normally during thesummer months,Mother Nature leaves
us with enough daily rain tokeep our lawns green andplush with only a minimalamount of manual watering.Most of this beneficialrainfall falls during themonths of June, July, Augustand September. The remain-der of the year can oftenleave our lawns and yardswith a serious deficiency ofwater. This either requires usto water our lawns by handor use portable sprinklers.The problem with this is thatyou have to move thesprinklers around the yardin order to get even cover-age. Another alternative is ahome irrigation system.
A well-planned, in-groundsystem can be easily con-trolled with a timer box andcan even shut itself off whenit rains to conserve water.The drawbacks of an in-
ground system are mainte-nance and cost. Even a goodsystem will require regularmaintenance to maintainefficiency. The good news isthat the system will eventu-ally pay for itself over timewith what you will save onlandscape maintenance.
To design a good system,you should start out with amap, drawn to scale, of thearea you wish to irrigate. Besure to include all the detailsincluding plants andbuildings. Then, draw in thediagram of the route you aregoing to use for the PVCpipe. Mark off the spotswhere you will install yoursprinkler heads and consid-er whether you need a full,half or quarter spray andalso the distance needed tocover that segment. Be sureyour segments overlap toensure you have no deadspots. You can draw this outon graph paper or you can
buy special kits that guideyou through the planningprocess.
The next thing that mustbe considered is how manyzones you will have on yoursystem. If you try to put toomany sprinkler heads onyour system, the waterpressure may be too low tooperate that zone correctly.You may only want to putfour or five sprinkler headsin one zone or even less ifyou have poor waterpressure. The various zoneswill be rotated automaticallyby the electronic watertimer. In fact, more zonesgive you more versatility
when it comes to managingyour system.
The best water source foryour system is to have aseparate well and pump tofeed water to your sprinklersbut for some people this isnot in the budget. You canuse an existing well andpump that you use for yourhome water supply withgood results. If you happento have an onsite pond orwater retention area, youcan recycle this water bypumping directly from thesesources.
One important part thatshould be installed on yoursystem is an automaticrainfall override. Theseinexpensive devices auto-matically shut off yoursystem when sufficient rainfalls and satisfies theadjustable sensor. Thesedevices not only save waterand electricity but they alsoprevent your lawn from
getting watered too heavily.In fact, they are required bycode in many counties.
There are three basicpumps that are mostfrequently used to powerirrigation systems: A surfacecentrifugal pump, a jetpump and a submersiblecentrifugal pump. The mostcommonly used pump forhome use is a jet pump.These pumps can be usedfor both shallow and deepwell applications. For verydeep well applications, asubmersible centrifugalpump may be used. Thedisadvantage is if the pumpneeds to be serviced it has tobe removed from the well.
One last consideration isthe quality of the waterbeing pumped from thewell. If the water has a lot ofsediment or sand, it will benecessary to install a sandfilter inline before the waterreaches the sprinkler heads.
This will help preventclogging of the sprinklersand will provide moreenjoyable and trouble freeoperation of your system.
The bottom line: A welldesigned water system cansave you loads of time andtake the worry out of gettingthe proper amounts of waterto your lawn. In the longrun, it can pay for itself overtime by saving you moneyon lawn maintenance. Thereis also one added bonus;you can install an inlinedevice that will actuallyallow you to fertilize yourlawn directly through thewater system! This can be areal time saver and conven-ience option.
