INDIANTOWN — The Village of Indiantown made history once again Nov. 12 with the unanimous passage of its Land Development Code exactly 11

months to the day of implanting its Comprehensive plan on Dec. 12, 2019.

The Village Council voted to approve the Code at the first reading Oct. 22, which was then followed up

STUART — A handful of students pleaded with the Martin County School Board Nov. 17 to reinstate South Fork High School instructor Don McKindles who’s been suspended with pay since early October for a very brief comment that offended a female student.

Lisa Marie of Stuart, accompanied by her teenage son, was the first member of the public to broach the topic, speaking as if her son or someone else she knew had first-hand knowledge of the incident between the advanced placement social studies teacher and the student.

“I cannot even believe that a school is considering firing a teacher because he used the word retarded,” she said. “He didn’t call a student retarded, he said something a student said was retarded. To paraphrase the First Amendment,

TREASURE COAST — SeniorCare.com surveyed 10,000 seniors to see what gifts or assistance they’d like most this holiday season.

As bad as 2020 has been for everyone, it is exponentially worse for seniors. They have accounted for 80% of COVID-19 deaths, and 27% of seniors live alone. Even in a normal year, they experience sadness during the holidays. This year is expected to be even harder, with many unable to spend the holidays with their families because of COVID-19.

SeniorCare.com asked seniors for input on what gifts and personal gestures would bring them joy during the holi-days. The seniors offering suggestions

said that any gift is more special with a personal touch. Right now, the older population needs to know that people care and are thinking of them, so includ-ing a hand-written message with your gift is considered especially meaningful.

Results were divided into two catego-ries: gifts, and personal gestures.

Top 10 holiday gift ideas most liked by seniors:

1. House cleaning service: 88% of seniors like this gift idea.

2. Chocolate: 87%3. Fruit basket: 83%4. Cash: 79%5. Everyday items like stamps, sham-

poo: 79%6. Meal delivery service like Uber Eats,

Grub Hub: 78%7. Snacks: 78%8. Cheese and crackers: 77%

9. Gift cards: 76%10. Automotive service: 76%Other gifts mentioned by many seniors

included favorite drinks like tea or cof-fee; help paying for monthly utility, phone, or cable bills; landscaping ser-vices such as grass cutting, hedge trim-ming, weeding, planting flowers; spices, oils, or other ingredients for the favorite items they like to cook; monthly box clubs like coffee, wine, snacks, puzzles, games, that send a package each month; streaming subscriptions to Netflix, Ama-zon Prime Video, Hulu; and pet food, cat litter, pet toys or scratching posts.

Top 10 personal gestures most liked by seniors:

1. Home cooked meal: 90% of seniors like this idea.

2. Invite to restaurant: 81%3. Help with technology (tablet, phone,

kindle): 80%4. Phone calls: 80%5. Help around home: 78%6. De-clutter garage or basement: 78%7. Handwritten cards: 78%8. Grocery shopping: 77%9. Revive family traditions: 75%10. Go for a walk: 74%Honorable mentions: if they have a

vehicle, offer to clean it out or detail it; hold video calls with entire family or group of friends; plant some flowers around their house or make a small gar-den; start up a pen pal routine and write consistent letters; schedule time to help with any financial or estate items, ensure they have their healthcare, financial and personal documents in order.

For seniors who have lost a spouse or partner, consider gifts and gestures that were previously fulfilled by the person they lost. Men favored food baskets, gro-cery shopping, and home cooked meals. Women favored landscaping, automotive and home maintenance help, and flow-ers.

Dive IntoThe Holidays!

This is not the first article that I’ve written on Costco’s auto buying program, but because I receive so

many questions about it, I thought it useful to write another column on the subject

Go to https://www.CostcoAuto.com and navigate through their recommended process for buying a new or used car. You must be a Costco member, but this costs only $60 for the basic membership. I promise you that you’ll same many times this cost when you follow their instruc-tions to buy from their dealers. Costco has new and used car programs, but I rec-ommend you use only the new. Their used car program requires only that their dealers discount their list price to Costco members. The dealers with the highest asking prices for their used cars offer the discounts, but dealers with low prices can’t.

Please click on and refer to the images above (Costco Member’s Only Price Sheets) as you study my recommenda-tions.

Carefully follow these recommenda-tions for purchasing your car through the

Costco Auto Program: When you put in your zip code, you’ll

be shown the nearest authorized Costco dealer. You should find other authorized dealers in your market so that you can compare prices, especially on those that add extra non-government fees, like Doc fee, Electronic Filing Fee, and Tag-Agen-cy Fee to the prices on their “Mem-bers-Only Price Sheet”. Costco requires that these be itemized separately on the Member-Only Price Sheet but ARE NOT INCLUDED IN COSTCO MEMBER-ON-LY PRICE.

Dealer installed accessories like win-dow tint, floor mats, protection packages, nitrogen in tires, stripes, etc. are SUP-POSED to be included in the Costco Member-Only Price Sheet at NO CHARGE TO COSTCO MEMBERS. Be sure to verify that these items aren’t added later for additional charges.

On the Costco Website you will be offered the Costco Auto Program Price Verification. It’s VERY IMPORTANT that you check this box giving the Costco Auto Program permission to obtain a copy of

your purchase agreement from the dealer. If you’re not contacted by Costco and sus-pect a problem, call Costco immediately at 800 755-2519.

Deal Only with the Costco Autho-rized, Trained Contact(s) at this Partici-pating Dealership. Call the authorized contact and make an appointment. NEVER deal with another salesman that’s not listed on the Costco website.

Insist on seeing the official Mem-ber-Only Price Sheets (two of them) to verify the price you’re given. One price sheet if just for the car you indicated online that you want to buy. The second price sheet shows all of the cars the dealer offers for sale. The prices are indicated by an amount below or above invoice. A high percentage of cars are usually shown at hundreds of dollars BELOW invoice, because invoice is not the true cost of the car to the dealer.

Insist on seeing the dealer’s factory invoice on the car you’re buying. You can then verify the amount under or over invoice the dealer has promised Costco they will see this to their members for.

Before you sign on the dotted line, be sure that the check you’re writing to the dealership is for the total amount you have to pay plus government fees only…sales tax and license/registration paid directly to the state department of motor vehicles. This amount should be for the

COVID-19 is a serious issue, stillI would just like to see more people in

Brevard County taking the COVID pan-demic a little more seriously. Today is Nov. 18 and 50 people were seen at a local play-ground with kids and parents all running around with no mask and no social distanc-ing. A week ago before that, I was at a local park on the beach and I saw at least 50 peo-ple under a pavilion having a nice picnic - no social distancing, no mask. It’s just very sad and very scary. Young children at the bus stops in my neighborhood line up on the curb next to each other waiting for the bus. 10-15 of them with no social distancing and no mask, but when they have to get on the bus they have to put on their mask and social distance.

We’re kind of defeating the purpose and we need to unite to get this pandemic out of here and take care of ourselves. Be safe.

Following simple rulesHow much heartache could be avoided if

parents just go back to teaching basics to their kids? Obey and respect your parents. Obey and respect your teachers. Last, but not least, obey and respect the police.

Simple rules to go by.

The right thing to doI want to thank the honest person who

turned in my credit card, which I dropped outside of the CVS. Thank you so much, whoever you are!

RE: “Stolen “ and “Press 1”I’d like to respond to two rants in the Nov.

27 issue. In terms of “Stolen Valor”, I agree it is dis-

respectful to those who do and did serve.

But what if the person wearing it has a son, daughter, brother, sister, mother or father currently serving and showing their sup-port? Guess you’ll never know unless you’re forward enough to ask.

As for Press 1, I agree wholeheartedly. It is also sickening to see “vote here” signs bilin-gual. If you can’t read the language, how can you be an informed qualified voter?

Unfortunately, political correctness aka political correct culture, has been with us a long time and shows no sign of going away. But I’ll tell you that as long as I’m breathing, I will always say Merry Christmas.

English is not the national language

Tired of hearing that English should be the language of the United States of Ameri-ca. “Speak your language at home”... is what’s said.

Review history there were native people already in what is now called “America” when it was so called “discovered”. Therefore, because those people were robbed, abused and killed it should be OK to impose your language and beliefs in per-petuity?

Let’s start living in the 21st century and realize that America was founded on natives and built by immigrants and if you don’t know that then start researching. How many soldiers died fighting for this country who’s first language was not English !?

Different languages will be spoken freely anywhere and everywhere in the United States of America forever!

If that’s troubling to you, then maybe you should leave.

RE: “Press 1 for some other language”

Anthony Inswasty/staff photographerThe Jensen Beach High School varsity basketball team lost their Tuesday, November 24 non-conference game against St. Lucie West Centennial High School by a score of 74-57. Here, Jensen Beach’s Lucas Mann (No. 10) fakes around a Centennial player.

He's got moves

This is in response to a rant where its author states that English should be the lan-guage of the USA. To support his position, he states, “I have about four television shows that broadcast in Spanish. They should have English printed at the bottom of the screen.”

He also states that in some western state, there was a sign on a door that read “Only English Spoken Here.” He sees that as a good thing.

He concludes, “Talk English here and talk your own language at home.” What does he mean by “at home”?

I fail to see what his problem is. No one here is required to speak, read, or write any foreign language. Moreover, the solution to the “TV Problem” is a simple on (I use it for sports all the time). Change the channel. It’s really that easy.

I do have a suggestion. In our school sys-tem, we already teach English to our stu-dents. Perhaps, we could include learning the basics of a foreign language as a prereq-uisite for earning a high school diploma.

Regarding my yard saleTo the people who came out to weekend

yard sale in North River Shores. First off, thankyou for all the support to those who treated my fairly. Now, as for those of you who did not! Those who stole from me; ok the little stuff, clearly you needed it more than I did. I hope whatever you stole, falls apart.

As for the man who came on Sunday who looked like Al McWiggin from Als Toy Barn in Toy Story! I should have known better. Hey, bring back the thing you did not buy! You are caught and you need to confess to the crime! I will find you and your silver need a paint job pick up truck. If any body knows of this thief please report him to me! I do believe that those who steal what does not belong to them without permission is a crime and yet is most importantly Karma will set in! I understand the world can be a non trusting place to be. We mask up, We don’t touch. We don’t say much as we use to. The world needs more faith and hope with assurance of convictions.

Most of the time, when I get calls for computer help I can usually figure out how to fix things out

instinctively. Why? Well because I examine the contents of the different menus looking for the option that will most likely get me closer to my goal (while keeping in mind whatever it is I’m trying to do).

As an added bonus, just about every program out there that has pull down menus have “Help” listed as the last one to the right. So by the time I get to the last pull down menu I can always open that programs help file and do a search on what I’m trying to do. The help file will then list all the topics that contain whatever words I searched on and from there I can usually figure out how to take the next step.

Let’s take a look at this in an exam-ple. Let’s say I’m writing my column with a typical word processing pro-gram and I wanted to change the font and make the next line that I type bold and larger. Let’s also say that I only have a very basic understanding of computers. At this point I have two choices, I can stare at the screen with a blank expression and then call Bob (who’s pretty good with computers) and ask him or, I can start looking around the screen for something that may help me reach my goal.

As I move my mouse (and my eyes!)

around the screen I notice a couple of things; first at the top of the screen, above where the words are being typed, there are (often) rows of menus and buttons available. And, as I move my mouse slowly over the buttons, little boxes pop up telling me what each but-ton does. When I click on the “File” option it opens (or “pulls down”) and I can see all of the commands that are available that have to do with Filing. As I move my mouse to the right, the File pull down menu closes and the Edit menu opens displaying all of the commands available for editing. Next the View pull down menu opens and then the Insert menu opens. As each menu opens I look at all the options available and for each one I ask myself “does this option look like it will help me change my text to bold and larger?” And as each menu does not present an option I go on to the next one eventu-ally getting to the “Format” pull down menu.

When Format opens, I see it lists Bullets and numbering… Borders and

shading… and what’s this? Font?? Hmmm…. Let me think… I’m trying to change the formatting of my text and text is made up of “fonts,” Think-ing I may be on the right track, I click the Fonts option and a screen opens that allows me to change the character-istics of the type. Bingo! Exactly what I am looking for! It says I am typing in Times New Roman, Regular, Size 12. I change the specs to Times New Roman, Bold, Size 14, click OK and voila! My typing is now larger and darker.

Ok, so, that rather tame demonstra-tion is just an example of how intuitive computing works; at no time did I ever

get the urge to go get a book or call tech support for help, I kept in mind what I was trying to do and, after see-ing what options were available, dis-covered the answer on my own. Instinctively.

Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking; that the things you have trouble doing are far more complex than just changing the characteristics of text, how can this possibly help me? And to that I answer the lesson is not in how to change the font size, the les-son is where to go for your answers!

Notice that the menus I looked at were all within the program I was using. You should look at the menus and options available within the pro-gram where you are stuck. Also notice that each pull down menu is a catego-ry; all filing options are under “File” and we found our Font options under the “Format” pull down menu. That was no coincidence. I would have been very surprised to find the Fonts option under the File pull down menu but starting at File and moving to the right covers all the bases and rapidly gets you familiar with all the menus avail-able.

Intuitive computing


by a series of both virtual and in-person meet-ings with Indiantown residents, members of the local business community and developers to get their input in finetuning the document. Direc-tor of Community and Economic Development Althea Jefferson described the progress made over the last several months and in the interim between the two readings to further simply what was initially a much lengthier and compli-cated document.

“Without a doubt, the staff and the consultant have provided a listening ear to all that have offered their comments and criticisms on these regulations,” she said. “We have worked in full cooperation with everyone in the utmost trans-parent manner to ensure this document is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and Florida statutes. They wanted something that was simple, something that was easy to under-stand – they did not want Martin County’s Codes – and they wanted it tailored to Indian-town’s needs and wants. We went from almost a thousand-page document down to 270 pages, but yet it is inclusive of everything the commu-nity asked for.”

Ms. Jefferson highlighted the Village’s effort to include the local business community in the creation process, sitting down with the Indian-town Chamber of commerce and other local and regional stakeholders to ensure their voices were heard.

“We’ve made some fantastic changes in con-trast to what we currently have in our Transition Code, including the re-visitation of the land-scape requirements,” she explained. “We changed food truck regulations, and after meet-ing with the community, we’ve made some sub-stantial changes to the Economics Use zoning

regulations.”The director of community and economic

development particularly emphasized a simpli-fying of the development process for mom-and-pop-sized business owners and developers.

“We think we’ve accomplished a Code that is more flexible and will improve our process and procedures,” she added. “It’s hopefully some-what shorter than Martin County, specifically for the little guy who is developing residential properties of one to four units and non-residen-tial 2,000 square feet and under. We have a streamlined process for those projects, as well as a reduced fee.”

After Ms. Jefferson concluded her presenta-tion, Councilwoman Susan Gibbs-Thomas was the first to offer her comments, simultaneously expressing her gratitude to staff and frustration that the Code had not been simplified further, using the “14 items under supplemental tree standards” as an example.

“The staff has worked overtime on this, and it is much appreciated,” she said. “At times, it’s been a very contentious and painful process [and] made harder than it should have been. I have been advised that you can always change it later. I am thankful we are able to do that because there are still some things in here that I thought were going to be removed. It’s still a little bit more complicated than what we need and what we want.”

Village Manager Howard Brown Jr., in turn, lauded staff efforts, admitting the LDC would always be a work in progress.

“At the end of the day, we know no document is 100 percent,” he said. “It’s just like a strategic plan: It’s an ongoing process. The Chamber has come forth and said that they are pleased, and to me, staff ’s been doing some good work.”

Councilman Anthony Dowling compared the process of drafting the Land Development Regulations to the Village’s prior crafting of the Comprehensive Plan and more recent purchase

of the Indiantown Company Inc’s wastewater and potable water facilities.

“When we were getting ready to pass the Comprehensive Plan, we had some residents say, we’re moving too fast,” he recalled. “But we were able to get through that, and come up with a very good Comprehensive Plan. We also had that with the purchasing of the water company. With the LDRs, we’ve had folks say the same thing, we’re moving too fast. But we’ve had three Zooms, we’ve had one live meeting and we have folks here today that shared this document was a very good, decent document.”

Mayor Janet Hernandez also praised the hard work of Village staff members, highlighting the core difference between the more fluid LDC and more rigid Comprehensive Plan.

“When we first started, we didn’t want all the nitty gritty in the Comprehensive Plan because we know how difficult it is to change,” she said. “Right now, I’m seeing it through the Depart-ment of Economic Opportunity with the annex-ation that we have, and we have to wait for them to comment and then it goes back and forth. So, I understand now why it’s so much easier to have it in the LDRs because it [any change] would be done here locally, two readings and it’s done.”

Mayor Hernandez also had a couple of ques-tions for staff, particularly focused on agricul-tural uses on commercially zoned land and whether residents would be charged for garage sale permits under the new LDRs. While Ms. Jefferson admitted only previously existing agri-cultural uses would be grandfathered in on commercial property and no new uses allowed, Mr. Brown insisted the Council itself would need to decide on any fees for garage sale per-mits.

“When we talk about the fee schedule, that would be your opportunity to decide whether you’re going to charge a permit fee or not,” the latter said. “We are requiring people to get

garage sale permits [because] obviously we don’t want someone having a garage sale every week.”

A few members of the public also spoke on the topic, including local landowner John Leon-ard, who encouraged the Council to consider an exemption on the prohibition of new agricultur-al uses on commercially zoned land such as his property fronting State Route 710.

“We were talking about farm city before, and we certainly would like to put some more cows across from the Seminole Inn and maybe do a learning center for children and bring in some goats and sheep,” he said. “We’re still, in my eyes, farmland, we’re country. So, I’d like you to think about that option, or at least a special exception.”

A representative of King Ranch, Mitch Hutchcraft, thanked Ms. Jefferson and Village staff for their inclusion of the local business community in the decision-making process.

“They have certainly listened to our com-ments and suggestions and where appropriate they have incorporated those changes,” he said. “There will be the need and the opportunity to make refinements in the future. One of those opportunities is a continued conversation about tiny home communities and tiny home resorts, and I’m comfortable there will be an opportuni-ty to bring some refined guidelines back to you in the future.”

Josh Kellam, president of the Garcia Family Farm based in Hendry County, concurred.

“I’m here today to tell you that we have closed on a piece of property in Indiantown, about 800 acres right around the Indianwood Community [that] used to be called the Indiantown DRI,” he said. “So, we are excited to be here in the Village. As a community that was birthed just a little over two years ago, you have made some huge milestones.”

The Council then voted unanimously to approve the Land Development Code, which went into effect immediately afterward.

If you believe all the above is very com-plicated, I totally agree with you. I’ve had many, long discussions with the Costco Auto Buying program about why they don’t simply give you their price online for what you can write your check out for…an out-the-door price. But, with that said, if you do carefully follow the above procedure, you can buy your next new car for a very low price.

To sports commentatorsIt used to be occasional, but now it seems

like every play in college or pro football that the commentators are calling penalities, or doing the referee’s job. Hey, don’t wanna hear it . Just do the job you are being paid for and let the line judges and the referees do theirs. In other words butt out, nobody wants to hear your opinion, which is usually wrong. I said it and I’m glad.

Changes in latitude requires changes in attitude

I must respond to the condescending Rant from the writer who parked illegally. It is interesting the degree that people will go in order to justify their erroneous behavior. There is obviously more to this story. Read-

ing between the lines, it is clear that she parked illegally, got caught, is now indig-nant and wants to justify her actions. I am a fourth generation Floridian and it is Rants like hers that put a bad light on other under-serving Northeasterners.

In her arrogant pursuit of defense, she inadvertently told the actual story. She admits to parking in a parking lot without permission, and when her vehicle is almost towed, she claims that it must be a scam, even though the Sherriff ’s Department assured her that it was not. Then she admits to parking in shopping centers in Long Island when there are Park and Ride lots around town. She assumes that she is doing the business a favor by making the parking lot appear prosperous. It appears that the writer is accustomed to disobeying rules; her submission of 441 words well exceeds the 250-word limit. She indicates that she is “practicing to be a snowbird”, in which case she needs considerably more practice. My advice to the writer is to slow down and make an effort to enjoy her retirement, our free beaches and our unhurried culture.

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. It doesn’t have a foot-note that says, except if they’re teachers. We’re now violating the First Amendment rights of our teachers. We must take a stand now… on behalf of that teacher and all stu-dents in Martin County.”

Ms. Marie was followed by Palm City res-ident Julie Marshall, who referred to the same October incident as “a joke.”

“Remember when we used to be able to tell them before everybody got offended by every little thing,” she said. “Mr. McKindles is well-known for his joking manner. It is one of the many reasons why he is so beloved by his students. I have rallied the students to write letters in support of Mr. McKindles and had the honor of reading all of them. The impact he has had on so many students’ lives is incredible. He not only teaches them academic curriculum, [but] he teaches them about life, lessons they will carry with them for a lifetime. This is one of the reasons that just last year the students voted him as the teacher most likely to have a student’s back.”

As proof of that popularity, Ms. Marshall reminded School Board members that she’d sent them a copy of an online petition start-ed by a South Fork student that was approaching 600 signatures. She chided them for even considering punishing a teacher for “such a minor infraction” while enumerating several other more serious incidents reported in the District she claimed were being ignored or “swept underneath the carpet.”

“The list is very long,” she said. “So where are the disciplinary actions for any of these issues? I’m actually sad for the student who made this claim against Mr. McKindles. I am not in any way trying to disparage this student, but if any of the things that are being said are true, this child is crying out for help. You are completely missing the mark by not assisting in getting this child the counseling that they need, which is a huge disservice. It will be an unbelievable loss to South Fork High School and the Martin County School District to lose a teacher like Mr. McKindles.”

Although School Board members rarely interact with public speakers during their comments and typically wait until afterward to comment, School District Attorney Anthony George advised them not to speak right after Ms. Marshall’s comments.

“I just want to let you all as Board mem-bers know, the person they’re discussing has been under a District investigation,” he said. “Each side will have attorneys. This is extremely likely to come before you in a quasi-judicial proceeding. Certainly, all of them have the right to address their local government and speak to you, but I ask that you all not make any comments because you will likely be determining this in a qua-si-judicial proceeding.”

The student who started the online peti-tion, Raymond Martucci, then addressed the Board, emphasizing the impact the teacher under investigation had made on his life a couple of years prior. Raymond lost his father, Raymond P. Martucci Jr., during his freshman year in 2018 and subsequently found himself floundering in school until the AP social studies teacher threw him a lifeline.

“This is the man who, quite honestly, is the reason I’m still in high school and let alone in the IB [International Baccalaure-ate] Program,” he said. “In my freshman year of high school, my father passed away. When I was losing control of my life, Mr. McKindles acted as a grounding and stabi-lizing voice. I’m now ranked fifth in my class of 408 and seriously considering Ivy League universities, and he alone is the rea-son I’m still pursuing the dreams that my father encouraged me to pursue.”

South Fork senior Eduardo Diaz was the last student to plead for Mr. McKindles’ case that evening, describing the character of the teacher and track coach who was named Boys Coach of the Year during the 2020 High School Scholar Athlete Awards cere-mony sponsored by the Treasure Coast Sports Commission. He took his AP Human Geography course under Mr. McKindles’ tutelage three years ago.

“I was asked by peers to speak before you today because they consider me somewhat of a diplomat,” he said. “The first point I would like to visit in regards to Mr. McKin-dles’ incident is his character. He’s a humor-ous guy who enjoys banter. He’s what some may label as politically incorrect. He’s a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and gives everything he has. He is the reason that I, as well as the students who have come in here before, have passed the AP Human Geogra-phy Exam.”

Eduardo insisted the District was teach-ing students the wrong lesson by pondering the firing of a career instructor over what some might consider a lack of political cor-rectness.

“Right now, we stand before you with nothing more than rumors and specula-

tion,” he continued. “Firing a teacher because a student took offence at a state-ment that wasn’t even directed at her is silly, which brings me to my third point: We as students, parents and teachers are noticing that this Board is becoming too politically correct. As an educational institution that has a responsibility of developing young boys and girls into functional men and women of society, it is also your responsibil-ity to teach them that in the real world, peo-ple don’t care if you take offense to things. [You need] to teach them to be thick-skinned, and above all, teach them how to handle misunderstandings as adults. I per-sonally consider your politically correctness and inaction to be cowardly. Step up for Mr. McKindles – stand up for your teachers – or you will lose them all.”

Prior to relocating to Florida in 2010, Mr. McKindles spent most of his teaching career in his home state of Michigan, where he spent 16 years teaching social studies and several years coaching football at Roscom-mon High School in Houghton Lake, where he himself graduated in 1984. He began his Florida career at Palmetto Ridge High School in Naples where he also served as an assistant coach before coming to South Fork in August of 2011.

District Public Information Director Jen-nifer DeShazo said Nov. 30 that the qua-si-judicial hearing on Mr. McKindles’ fate was scheduled for Dec. 16 and would be open to the public. The Hometown News also requested comments from Martin County Education Association President Karen Resciniti but failed to receive a response by deadline.

Fight the winter blahs with colorful plantingHi everybody and welcome!

If you want to fight the winter blahs then try planting some great winter annuals in your garden.

Snapdragons can be just the ticket to add a splash of color to your yard.

Snapdragons are one of nature’s examples of splashing color and style. These colorful gems come in a wide assort-ment of colors and varieties and they only available in our area during the winter months. They are indeed a winter treat. The flowers have a soft scent and the plants them-selves come in a variety of sizes from dwarf varieties to some that will grow as high as four feet. Since snapdragons pro-duce the most blooms during cool weather, right now is the best time to purchase and plant your colorful flowers.

Snapdragons are easy to grow and do well in partial shade or sun during the cooler months of January and February. Place your plants in an area of your yard that drains well and is not completely shaded. Be sure to use a high quality pot-

ting mix such as Miracle Gro so your plants can get a good start and also the plants will drain well. Using a good quality potting soil also has the advantage of promoting good drainage while retaining just enough moisture so your plants do not dry out as easily between watering. You should fertilize your plants on a regular basis, at least once every two weeks. Use a good quality water-soluble fertilizer such as Miracle Gro or Peters.

Another very popular winter annual is the New Guinea impatiens. These colorful plants can be found growing in many yards all over south Florida this time of year. Like most flowering annuals, mass plantings in groups will pro-duce the most striking effects. New Guinea Impatiens are very versatile as they can be planted in the ground, in con-tainers as well as in hanging baskets. In our area, these plants can grow almost all year however; during the sum-mer special care must be taken in order to keep these plants growing. These plants come in a variety of colors and styles that can work well for any of your garden needs.

Although New Guinea Impatiens are fairly hardy, there are several insect and disease problems that you might encounter. Things you might need to watch out for are scale, spider mites or aphids. The plants also need to be in a well-drained area so they do not develop root rot.

As with most annuals, the plants will thrive best in a good quality soil that will drain well and yet hold enough mois-ture to keep the plant healthy between watering cycles. Keep in mind that these plants require more water then some of

the other flowering annuals you might have in your garden. If they dry out too much, they will certainly start to droop. Usually after you get some needed moisture to the plant it will bounce back nicely. The New Guinea Impatiens replac-es what used to be simply known as Impatiens. These older varieties were very susceptible to disease so growers stopped selling them several years ago. For the summer months, there are some new varieties that hold up quite well and are a bit more forgiving if you forget to water them.

Each year around the holidays, I am contacted by Holly Smith, the communications manager for the

Department of Health in Volusia County. You have probably seen her on the TV

show Volusia Magazine. She loves to share health tips for a healthier lifestyle. Last year we filmed an episode together about healthy Thanksgiving food ideas. It was fun and we had a great time teasing each other. She eats healthy and I just like to eat.

At that time, she said next year we should do an episode on healthy holiday desserts. True to her word, I was contact-ed and she requested we do a special holi-day show with no calorie desserts. No cal-ories!

I think she really enjoys giving me a challenge. What I didn’t know at the time was she occasionally communicates with my wife who works at a local hospital to share Covid-19 brochures for Dr. Holly. Now I know where all these healthy life-style ideas got into my kitchen at home! Only fresh food, vegetarian once a week, gluten-free breads, seafood three times a week, and nothing fried. Thank you, Dr. Holly, and now I guess I will have to come up with calorie free desserts.

I know I fuss about it, but I really enjoy trying to cook food that is healthy and tastes good. For example, I have been sea-soning my food with salt and pepper at the end of the cooking process to try and reduce the sodium content of the meals that I cook at home. And you know what? It works.

My mother in-law loves take-out fried chicken for a treat every once in a while. So, I brought home fried chicken and all the fixings the other night and was so sur-prised by how salty it was. I was drinking water all night with my bourbon. Looks like I have to come up with my own ver-sion of fried chicken with low salt and, of course, not fried.

OK, OK, this is supposed to be about healthy desserts, so here we go. Holiday desserts in the south often include pra-lines, and how about eggnog? I hope you have a great holiday and let me help you reduce some of those calories at the same time.

Sugar-Free Eggnog

Ingredients3 cups unsweetened coconut milk½ cup Monk sugar½ teaspoon cinnamon¼ teaspoon nutmeg1teaspoon vanilla extract1tablespoon rum flavoring (or rum)½ tablespoons arrowroot

DirectionsPlace all ingredients, except the arrow-

root, in a saucepan over medium heat to get a low simmer. Take two tablespoons cold coconut milk and mix with arrow-root until smooth then add to simmering coconut milk and stir until the milk thick-ens. Cool and then refrigerate before serving.

Pralines

Ingredients

1 cup Monk sugar½ cup granulated sugar½ cup buttermilk1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup½ teaspoon baking powder1 pinch of salt2 cups whole roasted Pecan halves 1 ½ teaspoon butter1 tablespoon vanillas extract

DirectionsCombine first five ingredients in a large

saucepan. Cook over low heat until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over low heat until a candy ther-mometer registers 234° (about 10 min-utes); stir occasionally. Remove from heat; let stand six minutes. Stir in nuts, butter and vanilla; beat with a wooden spoon until mixture begins to lose its shine (about six minutes). Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let stand 20 minutes or until set.

Many of us are familiar with the famous golf trail that is in Alabama. How many of you are

aware that Florida has a golf trail as well? The Florida Historic Golf Trail includes 53 golf courses from the Florida Panhandle to the Keys, each built between 1897 and 1949.

Florida’s golf history is one of the oldest in the nation. A number of its earliest courses were created as the development of railroads and hotels came to the state.

The Florida Historic Golf Trail cele-brates this early heritage and features golf courses around the state that are still acces-sible for public play. Some of the courses have retained much of their historic char-acter, while others have been tweaked or redesigned.

The Key West Country Club is about 4.5 miles from the southernmost point of the continental United States. In the early 1920s, the City of Key West approved bonds for the construction of a municipal golf course. In 1923, the city purchased land on Stock Island and hired the golf course architectural firm of Langford and Moreau to design an 18-hole golf course.

On land described as ‘flatter than a pan-cake,’ Langford and Moreau designed a spectacular layout which included an island green and tee out in the Gulf of Mexico. During the same year, construc-tion began on the island’s coral rock foun-dation. Dynamite was used to blast away coral for the fairways. While holes were being completed, the City allowed golfers to play for free.

The first Nine holes were officially opened in 1924. Langford & Moreau’s 18-hole plan was never completed. Howev-er, during the 1960’s, nine holes were added and in 1983, golf course architect Rees Jones and co-designer Keith Evans com-pletely redesigned the entire golf course property. What was once the island par-3

hole out in the Gulf of Mexico, has instead become an island green surrounded by mangroves.

On October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma generated an eight-foot storm surge that flooded the Key West Golf Club with four feet of salt water and inundated the irriga-tion ponds with ocean water, leaving the superintendent with no source of fresh water to keep the course in playable condi-tion.

Somehow the golf course remained open and some brave, or perhaps not-so-smart golfers even came out to play the day after the storm. In the summer of 2006 and 2007, the club rebuilt the greens on all 18 holes.

Being so close to the absolute southern tip of Florida allows the course to claim the title of “The Southernmost Golf Course in the Continental United States”.

The Key West Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-70 golf course, featuring four sets of tees playing from 5,000 to 6,500 yards. The design, which requires a lot of precision from the tee and fairway, challenges players of all abilities.

The 200-acre club showcases stately palms, dense mangrove-lined fairways and serene lakes. The nature here is breathtak-ing. The number of birds and other ani-mals around the course, along with the pure natural beauty will make even the worst of rounds enjoyable.

As with many shorter courses, this course’s defense is its greens complexes. There are steep drop offs and bunkers if

you miss the green. Miss by too much and you’ll have to navigate the mangroves just to find your ball. Once on the green, the fun really begins. The greens are multi-tiered and feature a lot of undulation. Many longer putts will break two direc-tions.

The golf course is filled with challenging holes, including the infamous 8th hole. The par-3 “Mangrove Hole,” plays from a 129 to 185 yards, completely over a field of thickly intertwined tropical mangroves. There are bunkers short and long to catch a tee shot that misses the green.

Water comes into play on 10 holes, but there are only three holes with forced car-ries over water from the tees. There are six par-4s measuring over 400-yards from the back tees. The course features a pair of par-5s, one quite reachable in two, the other, much more demanding.

The closing holes are fantastic. Seven-teen is a short dogleg-right, par-4 that begs you to cut the corner for a short approach. The 18th is a great par-5 with a fairway that narrows the further you hit your drive.

After playing the course, visit the South-ernmost Point in the continental United States. Erected in 1983, the larger than life concrete marker was designed to look like a buoy. Located at the corner of South Street and Whitehead Street, it has become one of the most visited and photographed attractions in Key West. From here take a short walk to other Key West attractions such as the Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, Truman Little White House and the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum.
