ST. LUCIE COUNTY – After hours of debate and testimony by both experts and Harbour Ridge residents who would potentially be affected by a proposed wireless communications tower, the St. Lucie County Planning & Zoning Com-mission continued its ongoing opposition to the project and recommended denial of a needed conditional use permit.
County Development Review Coordi-nator Linda Pendarvis had asked the vol-unteer group of commissioners April 18 to recommend approval to the County Commission of the latest location request for a 124-foot monopole next to the Har-bour Ridge Clubhouse in the ongoing debate stretching back over the last few years. The P&Z Commission voted 5-2 last May to reject a shorter pole at a differ-ent location along Gilson Road due to opposition by residents of a neighboring development. Since that time, the county has updated its Telecommunications Ordinance to comply with less restrictive federal laws governing the industry. Both the Harbour Ridge Board of Directors and Tampa-based Vertex Development LLC are co-applicants in the project, which seeks a conditional use waiver and a vari-ance because the desired location does not meet county setback requirements.

PORT ST. LUCIE – The City Council warily agreed to a second year of professionally wooing new restaurants and retail establishments April 8 with most members expressing dissatisfaction with what they viewed as poor communication and a lack of results.
Business Navigator Elijah Wooten provided Council members an update on the effort made by Birmingham-based Retail Strategies, the national retail-recruitment firm the city contracted with for a year beginning in December 2017 that set the city back slightly more than $40,000.
“The first 90 days is when the consultant con-ducted the research,” he explained. “The subse-quent six months is when they actually put boots on the ground, talking to the commercial brokers, looking at the competitive landscape for national retail restaurants and chains and then prepared and presented the report to the City Council. So, of
the year contract period, only three months of that was the actual retail recruitment.”
During the first 12 months, the company per-formed different market analyses and created vari-ous marketing tools for the city as part of its efforts.
“The consultant did prepare a micro website, a base camp, which provided demographic reports and other information that our commercial real estate community can use to attract retailors,” Mr. Wooten added. “They identified 100 national retai-lors and restaurants that were expanding or look-ing into markets similar to Port St. Lucie and con-tacted 50 of those as prospects. They are currently working with 11 prospective companies they look to attract here.”
The city’s business navigator urged the Council to renew the Retail Strategies’ contract in order to keep the retail promotional efforts going forward, highlighting staff ’s own ongoing effort to convince a particular big-box store to locate in Port St. Lucie rather than Stuart.
“With retailors, as well as national restaurants, they have a couple of years they take to make a decision,” Mr. Wooten pointed out. “Our efforts with Costco proved that point -- it may take a while for a retailor to finalize their decision. Con-tinuing the retail recruitment program would allow the staff and consultant to fully implement

The Lemon Law: Your nuclear optionEarl Stewart is the owner and general
manager of Earl Stewart Toyota in North Palm Beach. The dealership is located at 1215 N. Federal Highway in Lake Park. Contact him at www.earlstewarttoyota.com, call (561) 358-1474, fax (561) 658-0746 or email [email protected].
Lemon laws are state laws which give rights to purchasers of new vehicles if they find that they have bought a car
with a defect that cannot be fixed in a timely fashion by the dealer or the manu-facturer. The Lemon Law in each state varies somewhat, but they all have a lot in common and are aimed at the same result. Most car buyers have misconceptions of the Lemon Law. These are some the most common ones: The car owners think they are going against their car dealer when they are really going against their car’s manufac-turer. If you prevail it costs the car dealer nothing. The manufacturer pays. The law applies only to cars purchased as new, not used. If you win a Lemon Law dispute, the manufacturer or dealer does not simply replace your car with a brand new on. The amount of credit you win toward a replacement vehicle is arrived at by deducting a charge for the usage of your lemon car based on time and mileage.
The complete Lemon Law process is a difficult and time-consuming task for all concerned… you, the car dealer, and the manufacturer. It’s difficult for you because the law requires specific and extensive doc-umentation. You must have allowed your dealer to try to fix the problem at least three
times and you must have detailed written documentation of this. You must be sure that your complaint is clearly spelled out by the dealer on your repair order and that his failure to fix it is also a matter of written record. After three times, you must notify the manufacturer by certified letter that you are invoking the lemon law. Now the manu-facturer has one last chance to fix your car. At this time, the manufacturer may take your car to another dealer who he feels is more competent in repairing your car. If the fourth attempt to fix your car fails, your case is assigned to a board of arbitrators. Their ruling is final. This entire process usually takes a very long time. Several months is not uncommon. Meanwhile, you’re saddled with a car that has a problem nobody can fix.
When you formally invoke the Lemon Law with your certified letter, you sever all communications with the manufacturer other than formal, legal communications as dictated by the law. The manufacturer con-siders you a legal adversary and their attor-neys consider anything they say to you as something that can be used against them in the arbitration. At this point they are legally barred from fixing your car or talking to you about fixing your car.
All the above is why I advise that you use the Lemon Law only as a last resort…the nuclear option. Put emo-tion aside and focus on what your pur-pose should be, which is to have a car that you can drive without the problem that has been driving your crazy since you bought it. Your priority should not be to punish the dealer because, as I already said, he suffers nothing from your winning a lemon law Lemon Law decision. You are punishing the manu-facturer to some extent, but this is “business as usual” to all manufacturers who fight (and usually win) thousands of Lemon Laws annually. What I’m sug-gesting is that you might want to con-sider giving the dealer and manufactur-er a little more time to fix your car after the first three attempts. If they look like they are sincere and trying hard, it could save you a lot of time driving your broken car (not to mention the mental anguish) com-pared to waiting months for the lemon law process to work itself out.
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t tell the dealer and manufacturer that you will invoke the lemon law if you have no other choice. You should do that. You should let both the dealer and the manufacturer know in no uncertain terms that you have meticu-lous documentation of their failed efforts to fix your car, you have familiarized yourself completely with the specifics of your state’s lemon law, and you will not hesitate to invoke it if you are left no other choice. This will instill a sense of urgency to fix your car ASAP if it’s within their abilities. The reason
is the dealer and the manufacturer want to keep you as a customer. In fact, the dealer may stretch to give you a better deal on a new car to replace yours than you would ever otherwise have gotten. He can’t do that once the lemon law has been invoked because he would be trading in a “lemon”. A “legal lemon” has the same stigma as a flood car or totaled car that has been rebuilt. The manufacturer not only wants to keep you as a customer but wants to avoid the cost of arbitration (the manufacturer is responsible for all the costs… the cost of disposing of a lemon, and the cost of the damage to their reputation by chalking up another Lemon Law loss in the record books.

the program.”The development director of Retail Strate-
gies, Clay Craft, then provided Council members a brief overview of the analytical activities conducted in 2018, which included performing a psychographic analysis of area consumer patterns and conducting surveys focused on the gaps and voids in the city’s retail environment compared to communi-ties of the same size in Florida. He particu-larly highlighted the Retail Gap Analysis.
“We want to find out what category of retail [where] those dollars are leaking, and that’s going to help build our prospect list,” he said. “We created an aerial imagery of the current retail as it stands today. Our task to begin with was a boots-on-the-ground anal-ysis. and that is our inventory if you will, of commercial properties that we feel are opportunities for development, redevelop-ment or higher or better use from a national retail prospective. We also did competition analysis looking at adjacent shopping cen-ters and competing shopping centers that might be pulling consumers out of Port St. Lucie. We want to look to those to see if there are retailors that we could potentially poach and pull into the market.”
Mr. Craft and his staff also created several working resources for the city to utilize, which include the aforementioned Base-camp Project Management Tool containing all the data his firm has compiled to-date; a custom marketing guide of Port St. Lucie that he takes to trade shows and emails to prospects; a Retail Recruitment Plan deliv-ered to the Commission last summer; and one of Retail Strategies’ key features, a city
website directed at providing all the essential market information for the top deci-sion-makers in the retail and restaurant industries.
“This was our answer to the development retail world saying that [individual] city sites were not congruent and very challenging to find the information they need to develop,” he explained. “So, the city site is a really one-stop shop for all the demographic informa-tion and the tools that we delivered, it’s all in one place that you can email to anyone. I would encourage everybody to add it to their email signature because it’s a great marketing piece.”
Mr. Craft culminated his recap with the various national and Florida conferences where he’d touted the retail opportunities in Port St. Lucie, but his email signature com-ment garnered the attention of Councilman John Carvelli, who used it to highlight what he viewed as a series of miscommunication steps between the company and the city.
“How come it wasn’t told to them [staff] earlier in the process because this would have been good in their hands, and we’re just kind of hearing about it now as a sugges-tion?” he asked. “Did we really get the value that we could have gotten out of the relation-ship? I’ll be real honest with you -- this has some concerns.”
Mr. Craft, however, insisted he’d recom-mended the city website as a tool early on.
“It was certainly our recommendation from the beginning to use this as a tool added to the website and added to the email signatures, and it could be looked at as a potential missed opportunity,” he replied. “But we would love the chance to rectify that by making all the recommendations to put this anywhere possible because this really is a great resource.”
Councilman Carvelli also asked the Retail
Strategies development director how often he provided updates to city staff. The latter said he typically contacted staff on a month-ly basis but emphasized that Port St. Lucie did not have a typical contract with his com-pany.
“This was a one-year contract, which is way off from our normal, and that’s just because a typical retail deal is 18 to 36 months,” he said. “So, if we’re asked to recruit during one year, we can get things started, but there’s no way we can take things to completion, just because it’s not a realistic timeframe.”
For his part, City Manager Russ Black-burn took part of the responsibility of the miscommunication problem, particularly after members of the Council expressed frustration last year over Retail Strategies’ refusal to release the names of clients it was actively pursuing for the city. He proposed using pseudonyms similar to those utilized by local economic development entities.
“I, as your manager, didn’t do as well as I could have to make sure that this project was managed actively,” he admitted. “The Coun-cil in a previous discussion said [they] didn’t want to hear that everything is confidential, and we believe there are ways around that. We can identify a pseudonym for a restau-rant or a retailor that’s looking at our mar-ket. We didn’t do that previously, but we should have, and it’s an area in which we could have managed this project better.”
Mr. Blackburn urged Council members to renew the Retail Strategies contract, empha-sizing that Mr. Wooten as project manager did not have the same level of resources to complete the task.
“We have negotiated a reasonable price should the Council choose to go forward for the next phase of the contract for 2019 of $30,000,” he added. “Our first phase was a
little over $40,000, and so this is a phase of recruitment versus plan and some recruit-ment.”
Vice-Mayor Shannon Martin then said the extended timeline for recruitment had her uneasy.
“So, this is for another year, but we just heard that it typically takes two to three years in order to really make things happen so to speak,” she said. “My concern is if we spend it, what are the results going to be if we’ve already been told we need a two-to-three-year timeframe and we’re only doing a one-year. So that’s where I’m on the fence.”
Councilwoman Stefanie Morgan con-curred and suggested the city cut its losses and continue solo.
“I’m still on the fence, and I’m not really sold on this,” she said. “It seems like we study everything to death and throw money out the window. I think we take the information and since now we have a project manager, it’s like work it.”
Mayor Gregory Oravec disagreed with that idea.
“I’m not sure that we have that expertise in-house to do that right now,” he said. “I think that we’re building it, but I’m not sure that we have it.”
Mayor Oravec described what he would view as a successful second year with the company.
“Let’s define victory,” he said. “For me, victory looks like getting one of those desired, coveted retailors and some of those restaurants that we wouldn’t have gotten anyways.”
The Council subsequently voted 4-0, with Councilwoman Jolien Caraballo absent, to authorize another year with the firm begin-ning with the date both the city and the company signed the contract.

What’s with golf cart drivers?
Does some type of temporary insanity come over people when they get behind the steering wheel of a golf cart ?
I am a resident of Barefoot Bay. About 10 years ago golf carts were allowed to operate on the roadways.
At that time two of the reasons was to allow people who could no longer drive a car, due to physical or mental disabilities , or had lost their drivers license because they had received too many DUI arrest, to have transportation.
At that time the “logic” behind that kind of escaped me.
Now some of these “golf carts” look more like urban assault vehicles,
many being gasoline powered.The operation of a golf cart is regulated by
state law, they must comply with Motor Vehicle laws.
In Barefoot Bay people drive on sidewalks, disregard stop signs, drive the wrong way on the roadway, drive with no lights at night.
At the Winn Dixie Store plaza ,just outside the Bay, signs were posted not to park golf carts on the sidewalk.
I saw a person park under one of the signs stating “no golf carts on the sidewalk ”when I pointed out the sign to the person the reply was “ No one tells me where to park my golf cart” I guess parking your golf cart where you shouldn’t makes you a tough guy ?
In many places you must have a valid drivers license and have the golf cart inspected by Law Enforcement , to ensure it has all the safe-ty equipment , to drive it on the roadways.
I believe that would cure a lot of the issues.
Don’t judge us by the worst examples
Just a few comments to the individual who asked what was required to be a democrat.
1.It can’t be hating republicans, nearly half of the people I love are republicans, and I am a strong, liberal democrat. So that and the fact we are accused of loving all refugees, rules out hating everyone who isn’t democrat. Republi-cans can’t have that both ways. I get your point though, some democrats I’m sure are as you
describe. But you can’t describe a group using the worst example. I assure you none of my conservative friends are anything like Cesar Sayoc or Patrick Carlineo.
2. We almost all have had guns all our live and only want common sense, enforceable regulations. And all my republican friends agree.
3. The U.S. has a multi-economic system, in MHO. And all my friends, both parties, love our social programs, SS, medicare, armed forces, federal infrastructure. So I suppose we have been slowly turning it for a long time.
4. I’ll just say, as many investigations as the house ran on Hillary, if she is guilty of crimes, the republican congressmen are incompetent.
I didn’t like Donald Trump when he belittled troops in Vietnam in the 70s, when he ridiculed MIA’s and Gold Star heroes and their families during and after his campaign, and recycling a fascist slogan and sticking it on a cap made in Asia hasn’t changed that.
Lastly, few of my friends watch cable news, I think that makes us a little kinder.
Regarding the Kanner Highway widening project
I’m not a traffic engineer, but I am a taxpayer in Martin County. I believe in the need for safe-ty for the roadworkers, but I can’t for the life of me understand the necessity of closing lanes or restricting traffic for long spans only to real-ize that there isn’t anyone working on the road for long periods of time.
Worse than the long spans of closed lanes, are the countless traffic control drums and cones, as well as a variety of small painted signs and more elaborate lighted signage to unnecessarily control traffic.
I can only imagine the incredible cost of rent-ing these signs that are pointlessly constrain-ing traffic.
Where is the accountability for this taxpayer abuse?
A couple comments…
Regarding the referendum…The writer details shortcomings in our educa-
tional system which are obvious to most of us.
The U.S. education system is currently ranked 15th in the world and the Dept. of Education continues to exist and support the fact that they are the only entity which is capable of develop-ing a one-size-fits-all system for all areas of our country and in the best interests of our children. How is that working out? The classrooms are controlled (like most of our society) by PC. We saw the effectiveness of keeping a troubled student in the mainstream schools last year with the tragedy at Marjorie Stoneman Doug-las. Immediately after this occurred the local news stations mentioned the state program which was in place to keep children, known to have potentially dire conditions, in the main-stream. After a day or so the name of this pro-gram was never mentioned again. The level of actual education and learning be damned. We are graduating individuals that are not only unprepared for college but for life itself. Far too many simply are destined to be part of the enti-tlement system. If some students are slower than others it should be the responsibility of our system to turn the tide for those individuals and not put them into an environment which is sim-ply overwhelming. The bottom line is education and not following the canned programs devel-oped by individuals who often have no front line experience. Give the control of the class-rooms back to the teachers. If a teacher even looks the wrong way at a student they fear for their job. “No child left behind” comes off the lips easily but is it what is best for future gener-ations? Staying within the confines of a budget is simply never been part of government at any level – local state or federal. Correct and cost-effective decisions are usually only made when they are trying to position themselves for
re-election. Many individuals who have chil-dren of school age can relate to the concerns raised in the author’s article. I lived in Miami when our son was school age. I sent him to a private school. This was not an easy financial decision for us but I would have scrubbed floors if it meant I wouldn’t have to send him into the public school system. Strangely enough he actually learned the three R’s in a great environment which was free of disruptive students and aberrant behavior.
In response to “Don’t root against the president”
It isn’t that we hate Trump, it’s that we, the vast majority of Americans that do not agree with his policies, demeanor, and immorality, love our country too much to let him ruin it. We have a president who gets caught lying on a daily basis, betrayed his family by committing adultery numerous times, including with a porn actress he paid to buy her silence, has broken every major promise he made, including mak-ing Mexico pay for a wall that experts and bor-der mayors say isn’t necessary, and sides with Putin while denigrating all 17 American Intelli-gence agencies who concluded Russia dis in fact meddle in our election. One reason he hasn’t been able to repeal Obamacare is Amer-icans think it would be cruel and immoral to take health care away from tens of millions of citizens and bring back pre-existing conditions for a hundred million more. It isn’t that we hate Trump, it’s that we love America too much to let him continue dragging our nation through the mud of immorality.

“I was struck, as always, by the quality of all the nominees,” said Anthony Westbury, selection committee chair. “The choices were hard to make; most of our nominees have contributed their time, talents and resources to St. Lucie County in countless ways.”
As senior manager for external affairs for Florida Power & Light, Brunjes has been an impact player in economic development for St. Lucie County for 11 years. Lord played a pivotal role in bringing Tradition Medical Center to the county. Miller founded St. Lucie Battery & Tire in 1972, opening 16

The semi-finalists were chosen from a field of 13 nominees. Other nominees included Art and Sandee Allen, A&G Con-crete Pools; Jeff Chamberlin, SLC Commer-cial; Judith Cruz, Treasure Coast Food Bank; Kathryn Hensley, St. Lucie County School Board; Kathy Post, Post Insurance & Financial; Glenn Ryals, GL Homes; and Marygrace Sexton, Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company.

the effect of prohibiting the ability of a service provider to provide wireless service in viola-tion of federal law,” Ms. Pendarvis told P&Z members. “The applicant has submitted a variance request pursuant to this code provi-sion, which the Board of County Commis-sioners will hear and decide upon at the upcoming hearing. The Land Development Code does not authorize the Planning & Zon-ing Commission to hear or evaluate this vari-ance, but staff wanted to ensure that this Board understood the full range of the appli-cations being considered.”
County rules require the location of any wireless communications tower be a mini-mum of 750 feet from the nearest residence, but the clubhouse location lies less than 300 feet from a couple of homes, which triggers the need for the variance.
“While the proposed tower does not meet the minimum setback and separation stan-dards, the county’s expert consultants have found there is a significant issue with cell cov-erage in this area, and that no other location would meet the code standards,” Ms. Pendar-vis added. “The proposal is not incompatible with the goals and purpose of the Compre-hensive Plan and Land Development Code to preserve, protect and improve the public health, safety, comfort, good order, appear-ance, convenience and general welfare and encourage the most appropriate use of land.”
Mary Solik, the legal counsel for Vertex, reminded the P&Z Board that the County Commission had asked the applicants to seek out a new cell tower location due to the oppo-sition to the Gilson Road site. Since that time, the Harbour Ridge Board had asked residents
to decide between a location on the 15th hole of the golf course or one adjacent to the club-house, with most opting for the latter.
“With our co-applicant, the Harbour Ridge Country Club, we have found this location that’s being presented to you,” she said. “The analysis done by your staff is a little bit differ-ent than the analysis of the previous applica-tion because you’d had a code change in-be-tween when we submitted our first application and our second application, so we’re dealing with a new application, new location and a new code.”
Harbour Ridge Property Owners Associa-tion Tim Powers further explained the straw poll process.
“When we were asked to find a new loca-tion, we found two potential locations, we reviewed those locations, made a recommen-dation and sent out a letter to our members and asked them to take a vote,” he said. “We had half of the total members vote, and about two-thirds of them agreed with the recom-mendation of the Board to select the site that was being proposed here this evening.”
Mr. Powers also highlighted the fact that it was not a developer-initiated project but a Board-initiated one due to the need for improved cell phone service on the property.
“The Club itself initiated the request for proposal to build a tower on our own proper-ty -- it did not come from the outside,” he explained. “We are concerned about the health and welfare of our members who play golf, who play tennis and are outside. Improved cell tower coverage is critically important in terms of us communicating if we were to have a medical emergency. I can tell you that the leadership of our club and our property owners association is 100 per-cent behind the proposal here this evening.”
George Brosseau, the Principal RF Engi-
neer for AT&T Mobility, the company slated to have the second spot on the planned tower after the primary tenant Verizon Wireless, further explained why some Harbour Ridge homeowners believed the need for additional cell phone service was exaggerated. Those residents, he explained, were actually getting their signal from a Jensen Beach tower across the water.
“Those who live along the riverfront for that first half mile in from the river, the serv-ing sector across the river at the mall is com-ing in with enough strength to provide acceptable coverage,” he said.
One of the homeowners closest to the pro-posed tower location is Mariner Court resi-dent Shirley Robertson, who is particularly concerned about her home’s resale value.
“I am the closest residence to the proposed cell tower site,” she said. “Most of all I’m con-cerned about my property value. I am on the market to sell and have been for several months before this fight was ever declared. If it ends up at this site, I will certainly stand at a great loss in my investment in my home.”
Another Mariner Court neighbors, Darryl Smith, insisted the current location was “not something supported by Harbour Ridge members.”
“I do not accept there is a major need for a cell tower,” he fumed. “I have never experi-enced any cell failure and neither has my wife: She has Verizon, and I have AT&T.”
Harbour Ridge Boulevard homeowner Robert Weissman concurred with that assess-ment.
“Harbour Ridge members have never been asked how many members are in favor of installing a cell tower,” he said. “We do not believe there are reception problems outside or on the golf course.”
Commissioner Slay then expressed his
frustration with what he viewed as a flawed public process.
“The thing that boggles my mind in this situation is that all of the residents of the area weren’t talked to about this,” he explained. “I think the simple solution would have been to poll everybody who’s in the HOA and then you decide, first off, if you don’t want a tower or do want a tower, and then secondly you collectively decide on a location.”
Mr. Powers insisted he had reached out to the homeowners and that the Mariner Court homeowners were the ones Mr. Brosseau said were receiving their cell signal from Jensen Beach.
“About a year ago we asked the members of the club to sign a petition if they were in favor of the cell tower, and we had 390 signatures,” he said. “I appreciate the opposition of the members on the water, but as you reach into our community, the coverage goes downhill.”
Ms. Solik then attempted to redirect the conversation to the decision at hand.
“For a conditional use, your code does not require that we prove need, although there is a need,” she exclaimed. “I’ve been working on this for three and a half years and I’m tired of banging my head on the wall. We’ve done our homework, we’ve looked at multiple loca-tions, and this is the site. What is before you is a pretty narrow issue, and it’s the conditional use for the tower.”’
Mr. Lounds subsequently made a motion to recommend denial of the conditional use permit, which was seconded by Commission-er Grande and passed unanimously. The denial automatically triggers the legal requirement of a super majority or four-fifths vote by the County Commission in order to approve the conditional use and subsequent approval of the variance.

We golfers can learn a lot form watching the professionals. Covering the Honda Classic and
seeing how these guys prepare taught me a lot. While watching the Masters, I learned quite a bit more about course management. Following the RBC Heritage, I learned a great lesson in playing with a lot of wind. At the Honda, I talked to the pros as they readied for their round. They start off arriving at the course and heading to the locker room. For many, arrival comes several hours before their scheduled round. They usually put on work-out clothes and head to the fitness trailer. At the fitness trailer, they wok on getting their muscles loose, stretched and ready for a day filled with hitting a lot of golf balls. Some may have an injury they are rehabili-tating and spend time with a trainer working on getting that issue addressed. Others may want to bulk up their core muscles to aid their swing and lengthen their careers. From there, it’s back to the locker room for a shower and a change into the work clothes for the day. They apply a lot of sunscreen to protect them from a day of exposure to the Sun. Many will re-apply
several times if they find themselves sweating a lot or the sun baking them all day. Once at the range, they re-loosen those muscles with a few stretches and some soft chips with wedges to get the “swing” juices flowing. They work slowly from short chips and half-swings to their short irons, then to their long irons, and finally to the woods. Most will hit the same shot that they will need to hit on the first tee to end their session, just to get a positive image in their mind. Some even hit the approach shot they feel will be needed as a further step. Once on the course, the pros seldom, if ever, tinker with their swing. They learned during warm-up if today the swing simply wasn’t going to produce that soft fade they need for a certain hole. They won’t try to get their bodies to do something they feel are not confident to pull off.
Watching the Masters, I learned a lot from watching Tiger Woods. He stuck to his game plan. He didn’t let what everyone else was doing make him divert from what he knew he could and needed to do. He never pressed, although I believe if he needed to make up ground come the 13th hole that Sunday, he would have. Instead he stayed just close enough to pick up the pieces when nearly everyone else fell apart. That taught me a lot. Stick with what you can do and do not try to do something you’re not quite confident or really do not need to do. The worst thing you can do is try shots that are too risky and only put you further behind. Watching the RBC Heritage was fascinat-ing. Saturday’s round was filled with strong winds that sometimes gusted to over 30 mph. The mental fatigue that set in on some of the pros made for some interesting results. Some of the pros made silly mistakes, likely because their minds were tired by the end of the round. Some hit the wrong club. Others forgot to account for the wind and wound up short or long of their target. Some would try to hit a fade or a draw into the direction that the wind was coming
from to hold the ball on a straight line. Some misjudged and found their ball coming to a rest well right or left of where they intended. My favorite part was watching these guys hit six and seven-irons from the tee on a 141-yard par-3. That was interesting to say the least. Some of them tried shorter clubs and tried to hit the ball low and keep it under the wind. The results were not always successful. The wind was blowing so hard at some part of the golf course, that it affected putts. Imagine having a 3-foot putt that normally breaks six inches, but the wind is going to make it move twice that. Even more interesting were putts that the wind forced uphill against what the pro’s eyes told him when lining up. Watching the pros these past few weeks has been entertaining and insightful. I just hope I can incorporate what I learned into my game.

National Prime Rib Day is Saturday, April 27. Let’s celebrate.
All you vegetarians and vegans take a break today, this is for all you carni-vores who love red meat. That’s right …eat red meat!
We are warned all the time to reduce our red meat consumption and add more fish, poultry and pork to our diet. I think that’s great and we should reduce our red meat consumption, but eating red meat once in a while is fine. When you get a desire to eat red meat, go for the gold, eat prime rib.
Now, how did National Prime Day get started? No one seems to knows. It just popped out of nowhere and, quite frankly, I don’t care. I love any excuse to eat the King of Meats.
When you are ordering a “prime” rib in the grocery store or butcher shop, it doesn’t mean you are getting USDA Prime, which is a grading system used by the government to grade cuts of meat. Prime is top rated, has more fat marbling throughout the meat, and can easily cost 50% more per pound. You will likely need to special order it from your butcher.
Most “prime ribs” we get from the market are actually USDA Choice quality grade, called a standing rib roast. This is an excel-lent cut of beef and what most meats we buy at the stores are graded at. No problem — it’s a great quality cut of meat.
When should you buy your rib roast? The price of beef is based on many factors, how-ever, the most important factor is beef demand from consumers to the amount of cattle processed. The price came down in
2018 and should continue to drop through 2019, but that doesn’t mean beef is cheap. There is always a strong demand for it.
Shop with coupons to save on your gro-cery bill. Try the middle of the week, which is a good time. Never buy beef rib roast during the holidays, especially Mother’s Day. That is the holiday with the highest demand for this product. Try to shop in advance of holidays when the price will be more reasonable.
A full rack of beef rib roast is 7 ribs, which will easily serve 14 to 16 people, maybe
more. Two people can be served from each rib, so buy a roast that fits your family’s needs. Enjoy a special treat once in a while. Try this recipe, but first buy a meat ther-mometer!
DirectionsRub roast with salt and pepper. Place in a
roasting pan that has 3 small whole carrots, 3 strips of whole celery and one large onions chopped large and 3 cups water in the bot-tom of pan. Place rib roast on vegetables with the fat side up.
Start oven on high temperature, 400-450 degrees, to get good browning on the out-side of the roast for 15 minutes. Then cook it at a lower temperature, 325 degrees, to make sure the meat in the center doesn’t get over cooked. Using a meat thermometer, check the temperature. When it registers 115°F it will be rare or 120° to 130°F for
medium.The internal temperature of the roast will
continue to rise after you take the roast out of the oven. Once the roast has reached the temperature you want, remove it from the oven and place it on a carving board. Cover it with foil and let it rest for 30 minutes before carving. The internal temperature of the roast will continue to rise while the roast is resting. Use the sauce in the bottom of pan and season to taste.

Hi everybody and welcome. One look at the plant food section of your local nursery or retail store
can make a person literally dizzy. There are so many different a la carte nutrients that sometimes it is hard to understand what they are all for. Today, I am going to discuss a few of those products along with some possible uses.
The first item on my list is bone meal. Bone meal is made by steaming crushed bones for 1.5 hours at 260 degrees. Bone meal is an excellent source of phospho-rous and calcium and also can provide some other trace minerals including nitrogen to your plants.
Because the nutrients are released so slowly, the product is excellent for use on new plantings as well as bulbs. Bone meal is an excellent product to use on Rose bushes. The product is also excellent for using on new transplants to help avoid plant shock. Bone meal also helps plants to maintain and develop healthy root sys-tems.
Blood meal is another product that is available at most nursery retailers, although many people do not know how well this product can work. Blood meal is actually made from the blood collected from animal processing plants. This col-lected blood is stored in cooled vats that utilize an agitator to keep the whole blood from coagulating. It is then sent to drying plants where the product is spray dried. Once dried, the product is pack-aged in bulk 50 pond bags and sent to the various distributors where it is packaged
for the consumer. Blood meal is an excellent source of
rapid release nitrogen. This product can be used on all plants and is espe-cially useful for plants that are heavy feeders. It is a great product for instances when you want fast greening or want to give your plants an ener-gy boost. If you grow let-tuce in your v e g e t a b l e garden, it is e s p e c i a l l y useful for helping to grow your “dream salad”!
You can apply the product on top of the soil and water it in or mix it with water and use like a liquid fertilizer. In some lawn and
garden supply stores, you can purchase bulk quantities if you want to use it on your lawn as a quick boost.
Lime is another useful product for your garden and is very widely available. The active ingredient is lime is simply calcium. Lime is an excellent product to use if you have a vegetable garden. Since the vast majority of Florida’s soil is acidic, vegetable gardens can benefit from lime because most veggies require a lower ph level in the soil for optimum growth. It can also help provide sweeter veggies.
Lime can also be useful for your lawn but it would be a good
idea to test the pH of your soil first to determine if is actual-
ly needed.Occasional-
ly you m a y encounter
y e l l o w -ing of certain plants s u c h a s Hibis-c u s ,
I x o r i a and Gar-
denias just to name a
few. This yel-lowing is often
caused by an iron defi-ciency in the soil. Adding an iron supple-
ment in either granular or liquid form will often reverse this yellowing trend and get your plants back to their origi-nal lush green color. Iron can also be used to help promote a lush green lawn that you can brag about. Most, but not all, lawn fertilizers contain a percent-age of iron. Sometimes this percentage is too small an iron deficiency can still develop. You can buy iron at many nursery retailers in different size pack-ages as well as in different forms. Iron comes packaged in liquid and granular form. In addition, you can add some Epsom Salt to your annual feeding schedule. This simple product can be very helpful with greening up palm trees that are showing signs of yellow-ing.
As you can see, there are plenty of additives you can experiment with besides just your basic fertilizers. All are safe if used according to package directions. You never know, you just might come up with that record setting tomato or lettuce plant!

Plant maintenance made easyGARDEN NOOKJOE ZELENAK ST. LUCIE COUNTY – There’s only a few
weeks left to “take a hike” in St. Lucie Coun-ty through the Environmental Resources Department guided hike program. Led by knowledgeable volunteers and county staff, these scheduled guided hikes offer the opportunity to explore and learn about the more than 10,000 acres of preserves that St. Lucie County maintains.
Hikes for May include:§ Friday, May 3 from 7:30 to 9 a.m.:
“Plants of the Air” Hike at Gordy Road Rec-reation Area, 3650 Gordy Road, Fort Pierce. Florida is home to a myriad of plants which don’t live on the ground but up in the canopy...no soil required. Which plants live in the canopy and how do they do it? What are they called and are they parasitic, symbi-ont or just cuddly neighbors? Are air plants and epiphytes the same thing? This hike fea-tures hands-on activities with live plants.
§ Saturday, May 4 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.: Morning Hike Along the River at Sweetwa-ter Hammock Preserve, 4100 South 25th St., Fort Pierce. Get an early start to the weekend by taking a hike to the banks of the St. Lucie River. Enjoy an eye-opening walk among the live oaks and cabbage palms in this beautiful preserve as the world awakens around you.
§ Monday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to noon: White City Kayak Tour at White City Park, 2081 W. Midway Road, Fort Pierce. Paddle with us down the St. Lucie River towards Oxbow Eco-Center, while taking in the breathtaking sights and sounds of nature. Kayaks, U.S. Coast Guard-approved person-al flotation devices and paddles are provided (you may also bring your equipment if desired). This trip is for ages 12 and older. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. The cost is $10 per person. No online registration; please call 772-462-2536 to reserve your space. Reservations are a must.
§ Friday, May 10 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.: Twi-light Chorus Hike at Sweetwater Hammock Preserve, 4100 South 25th St, Fort Pierce. The twilight chorus of bird calls awaits us in the evening as the sun begins to set. This is the time when diurnal birds are foraging their last meals of the day, communicating and readying for nightfall. A leisurely hike in this riparian preserve allows us to watch and listen for them.
§ Saturday, May 11 from 7 to 9:30 a.m.: Early Bird Hike at Spruce Bluff Preserve, 611 SE Dar Lane, Port St. Lucie. Are you new to bird watching or just want to try some new birding techniques? This tutorial and hike is for you. Learn about the equipment you can use, the best time of day and year for view-ing, and other considerations which will help you become a more experienced birder.
§ Wednesday, May 15 from 9:30 a.m. to noon: Up the River Kayak Tour at Richard E. Becker Preserve, 3398 Selvitz Road, Fort Pierce. Most tours take us down the river,
