STUART – A note to parents posted on the Martin County School District’s Facebook page Jan. 22 by the head of security caused an uproar

among parents accustomed to eating lunch with their children on campus while volunteering at their schools.

The note described an interview between Director of Safety and Security Frank Frangella and CBS 12 News Correspondent Erin MacPher-son during which the former recommended such parents sign their children out to eat lunch off campus or eat “at an outside seating area.”

Danielle McDonough, founder of the Martin County Parents United group, was one of three parents who addressed the topic that evening at

STUART –Martin County Fair-goers may one day head out Citrus Boulevard instead of driving down Dixie Highway to get to the fairgrounds after the Coun-ty Commission approved the prelimi-nary lease terms for a 107-acre piece of property near the Indiantown Airport to use for a future fairgrounds.

Assistant County Administrator George Stokus described the terms and conditions of the proposed lease terms on the land, which has sat empty for the last several years after being deeded to the county by the South Florida Water Management District for recreational purposes in exchange for other proper-ty needed for a water project.

“The proposed lease is an initial term of 40 years, with two 10-year renewal options after that,” he said. “The option to lease would require the fairgrounds by Nov. 15 of 2020 to provide the fol-lowing for review and approval: archi-tectural designs and engineering con-struction plans for the property; a

Minimizing the pain of auto service or repairEarl 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 earl@estoyota.com.

The pain of buying a used or new car may be greater than the pain of having it serviced, but you need to

have it serviced far more often than you must buy a car. Below, I’m listing eight

suggestions to make your visit to your car dealer’s or independent service department as pleasant as possible.

(1) The Dealer with the Best Price Might Have the Worst Service. Remember that you don’t have to have the same dealership service your car that sold you your car. You probably bought your car from the dealer who gave you the best price. You should have your car serviced at the dealer who can best maintain and repair your car. The price of service is important, but secondary to the quality of the service and repairs. Do a little research. Ask friends and neighbors who drive your make of car. Check with the BBB and the County Office of Consumer Affairs. Ask the service manager at the dealership to show you his factory score on CSI (customer satisfaction index) and customer service loyalty (what percent of customers return to this dealer for service?) Every manufacturer surveys dealers’ service customers and ranks that dealer by how well he treats his customers.

(2) Establish a personal relationship with your service advisor. The person in the service drive who writes up your repair order is very important. Be sure you get a good one. He should be knowledgeable, attentive to your needs, promptly return

phone calls, and recommend only necessary services. You might not find this person on your first visit, but if you aren’t comfortable with the person you are dealing with, ask for one with whom you are. When you make an appointment to have your car serviced, always ask for that service advisor.

(3) Don’t pay the “gotcha”, miscellaneous supplies fee. Almost all car dealers and independents tack on a phony fee when you pay your bill which is simply more profit to the dealer but is disguised by various labels. It is also sometimes called “environmental impact fee”, “sundry shop supplies” and many others. The cashier just adds a percentage ranging from 5% to 10% to your bill. This is no different than the “dealer fee” that the sales department tacked on to the price they quoted you on the price of the car. Most dealers will waive this fee if you complain about it, especially if you threaten to call the BBB, their manufacturer, or the Florida Attorney General’s office.

(4) Always road test your car, preferably with the technician. If you brought your car in for a drivability problem such as a noise, vibration, or pulling to the right or left, don’t accept the car back until you ride in the car with the technician or service advisor and confirm that the problem has been remedied. I also recommend that you drive the car with the service advisor to demonstrate the problem when you bring it in. Experiencing what you experience always communicates your problem more accurately than verbally describing it.

(5) Ask for a written estimate of the total cost of repairs and maintenance. Florida

law requires that the dealer give you a written estimate. By law, they may not exceed this by more than 10 percent.

(6) Make an appointment ahead of time. You should insist on making an appointment and you should try to make that appointment at a time when the dealer’s service department will be least busy…typically the middle of the afternoon on weekdays or Saturday and Sunday. Avoid the 7:30-8 a.m. rush. When your service advisor has written up your repair order, ask him how long it will take. After he tells you, ask him to let you know ahead of time if, for any unforeseen reason, your car will

not be ready in the promised time. Often when you call a service department they will tell you to “bring the car in anytime” or “come right over”. Service advisors will tell you this because they are either too busy or too lazy to take the time to make a proper appointment. When they tell you this, tell them that your time is very valuable and that you insist on an appointment at a time

when they can get you in and out quickly. Always write down the name of the person that gave you the appointment.

(7) Shop and compare high cost repair prices. Most service departments are competitive on maintenance items like oil changes, wheel alignments, and tire rotations. However, the costs of major repairs can vary considerably. If you are looking at an air-conditioner, transmission, or engine repair that can cost several thousands of dollars, get bids from more than one service department. Often just suggesting that you will do this will keep

the cost down from the dealership you prefer.

(8) Introduce yourself to the service man-ager. This falls along the same philosophy as developing a good personal relationship with your service advisor. It can’t hurt to know the “boss”. If you are on first name basis with the service manager, it just might earn you a slightly higher level of treatment from those that work for him. Be sure you meet the real manager. Lots of service advisors/salesmen call themselves managers or ASM’s… assistant service managers”. They are not…they are service salesmen.

the School Board meeting and believes the District would have had a calmer response had it handled the matter differently.

“That was like a bad accident watching that take hold today on Facebook, and I think communication is key,” she said. “It could have been avoided if we would have used maybe a different tool in letting par-ents know.”

Renee Slabicki made the first post on the Facebook page, calling Mr. Frangella’s sug-gestion “absurd.”

“I have lunch infrequently with my child, but when I do, it just makes her entire day,” she said in the post. “If safety is a true con-cern, doing what many have suggested and getting Level 2 background checks should be implemented. There’s no reason to deny access to our kids.”

Ms. Slabicki made reference to a sugges-tion previously made by Seawind Elementa-ry parent Wess Yancsurak, who repeated the same idea during the meeting that night.

“I feel that you’re setting a precedent for all the parent-involved events during the school day if we’re eliminating the ability to have lunch with our children,” he said. “If we could just require a level-two back-ground check on all the lunch attendees at this point, I think that would solve a lot of the safety issues. We’re volunteers -- my wife is a volunteer, and I try to volunteer as much time as I can at the school. I love spending time with the students and watching them learn, and I feel that not being able to have lunch with them is taking away from that.”

Jensen Beach Elementary School parent

Andrea McAvoy concurred with that assess-ment.

“I probably put in a good 20 to 30 hours a week of volunteering at my kids’ school, and one of the rewards that I feel is to sit down and have lunch after I’ve helped open snack packs and juice boxes,” she explained. “Hav-ing a seat with my sons is one of the things that I look forward to as being part of vol-unteering at the school. Taking away a priv-ilege I feel is sad, and I would like to know if there’s any statistics that you can guys can show us that the biggest security problem is during lunchtime when parents or grand-parents or aunts and uncles come and have lunch with their kids.”

Immediately after the public speaking portion of the meeting, Chairman Christi Li Roberts asked Mr. Frangella to respond to the complaints and address the issue of safe-ty at lunchtime. The safety and security director immediately attempted to squash a rumor that the District was trying to close campuses completely to parents.

“First, I want to address the concerns of parents about my intentions -- that I’m going to shut everything down with the par-ents -- and that’s simply not true,” he said. “With most of our events, they’re a one-time event at one school. I meet with princi-pals all the time, we discuss it, we make any necessary adjustments to the plans and we go forward with the plan.”

Mr. Frangella emphasized, however, that having parents on multiple school campus-es during lunchtime has become a logistics nightmare in an era of heightened security since the Parkland massacre last Valentine’s Day.

“The problem with parents having lunch at school is it occurs daily, and it’s at over a

dozen of our schools,” he explained. “So, I’ve received information that things were happening during those times: Visitors were not adhering to campus rules and found roaming the hallways; they were taking pic-tures of students; they weren’t using the des-ignated areas, which was set aside just for them; and they were inviting extended fam-ily members.”

Mr. Frangella believes front office per-sonnel in the District’s schools are already overworked at certain times of the day and particularly during lunchtime.

“There are three times that are our most vulnerable: during dismissal, arrival and at lunch,” he added. “On some of our campus-es, we receive 30-plus visitors during our lunchtime. Our front staff are responsible for the visitors coming in, but they’re not trained law-enforcement agents. I’m more worried about somebody trying to slip in during our high-traffic time. There are other things that could happen as well, and my concern is that we have issues with cus-todial battles and domestic issues and those could actually intensify. At any given time it could escalate quickly, and that poses a dan-ger to our children as well.”

As a result of his concerns, Mr. Frangella sent out a memo to all school principals in the District to address the issue of “closing of the schools”, which subsequently became the topic of the aforementioned television interview.

“I gave it to the principals, and it was a direct response to what was going on and what they were telling me,” he emphasized.

Mr. Yancsurak said he was unaware of any specific incidents at Seawind Elementa-ry but believed his recommended security clearance, coupled with punishment for offenders, would nip the problem in the bud.

“I don’t know of any parents coming in and causing mass problems,” he said. “If a parent is not where they’re supposed to be, either have a stern conversation with them or you tell them they can’t come back.”

Ms. McDonough said her own teenage son fondly remembers such a lunch years ago when he was in the first grade, and she worried prohibiting parents from having

lunch on campus could cause some to stop volunteering.

“I’ve been listening to the parents, they’re very passionate, and I think today we want parents who are involved,” she said. There has to be another way that we can go about enacting the security changes without push-ing our parents away. I’m not saying lunch is good or lunch is bad… I’m just saying I appreciate that parents are speaking up about anything. They want to be involved, and they want to have a voice.”

Not all parents see the need to eat lunch on campus with their children. Gwen Rooney was one of two Facebook respon-dents who didn’t understand all the fuss.

“My parents weren’t allowed to have lunch with me when I was a kid and we both survived,” she said in her post. “I didn’t have lunch with mine and they survived. What are these parents going to do when their kids go off to college?”

Parent Gwen Rooney agreed and said she views her son’s time at school through the lens of growing independence. “I think I have only eaten with him once a year, and that is only on the day that I have off work and he still has school,” she responded on the site. “I look at it as that is his time to be in school and learn and be with his friends.”

Superintendent Laurie Gaylord empha-sized the District’s desire to continue encouraging parental volunteers as she attempted to debunk rumors.

“We do want parents to volunteer -- there’s no absolutely no effort in any way to stop parent volunteers,” she said. “We thrive on parent volunteers, and we want you to continue to volunteer on our campuses. I’ve heard say ‘first it’s school lunch, and then it’ll be something else and something else.’ No that’s not it: It’s to control our campuses during those high traffic times.”

Ms. Gaylord reiterated Mr. Frangella’s concerns

“On a day-to-day basis with the lunch, we don’t know how many people are going to show up, and so that’s been a problem,” she explained. “Like I said, there have been inci-

Governor DeSantis.  The many appoint-ments made at the last minute by Governor Scott should also be carefully vetted and removed if the sitting Governor had his own choices to make.  Senator Scott also made it a point to let everyone know that the situa-tion with the toxic algae was the fault of the Government, so  we will expect him to get this situation under control immediately as he is now there to make sure it gets done.

The Government shutdownAs I understand, when the shutdown is

over all the Federal Government employees affected  will receive their back pay, for time they did not work.

Most Federal Government employee, other then those like the TSA and other law enforcement agencies could work at another job during the shutdown, then receive their back pay, or not working.

If they are financially able to, they could treat the shutdown as a paid vacation, going off on a nice vacation until the shutdown is over. Not a bad deal.

More about turn signalsSo after working for the Ford you think

using the turn signal to much will where it out? Don’t think so. And I guess it is on is no one is around to not use the signal either. So you only break the law when no one around to see! Then you complain about someone who speeds! It comes down to being so lazy as you can’t move your left hand and push the lever up or down! It is just no consider-

ation for others. Only “ME” Have you ever sat at a stop sign and the person on the other corner has no signal on and you have yours on, and you both go and see him turning the same way you are and almost hit them. Bet you don’t come to a complete stop at a stop sign, to use your words bet $10 dollars to a hole in a doughnut that you roll through them. So another law you are breaking...

Give your left arm some work and push or pull the lever up or down.

Keep the courtesy vanWe just heard Thursday, January 24, 2019,

that the Sebastian Hospital Courtesy Van will discontinue

service to doctor offices, the Wound Care & Hyperbaric Therapy in Sebastian.

This was a complete shock to us, since we have used this valuable service for several years. Many of our senior citizens in Sebas-tian, Barefoot Bay and area, live alone, can’t drive, and are in wheel chairs.

We hope the Sebastian Hospital Adminis-trator and Board of Directors will reconsid-er and continue this very much needed ser-vice for our senior population.

Higher taxesYep, I knew it was coming, just not so

quickly. Just a couple weeks ago the Sheriff wrote an article about a future initiative to raise taxes “specifically for school safety” and now we’re seeing it proposed for teacher salaries. Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. An extra mill on the tax bills for school taxes will be a huge hit for home-owners, especially on the heels of a recent tax increase in Port St. Lucie and higher sales taxes. Keep in mind that senior and homestead exemptions do not decrease the school district tax. Everyone pays the same whether elderly, retired, fixed income, no kids, etc.. The economy is not out of the

woods yet and seniors aren’t raking in more cash so this coming proposal needs to fall flat on its face.

What’s really going on?So many Trump fans (actually a minority

of Americans) are refusing to acknowledge that it appears more and more, with every mounting indictment and guilty plea for those lying to cover up Trump’s relationship with Russia’s Putin, that the US president is carrying out most of Putin’s wishes. Attempting to end NATO, bashing of the United Nations and our closest allies and creating chaos within our own country while lifting sanctions on Russian Oligarchs

with connections to the Russian Mob, are all things on Putin’s decades-long wish list.  Wake up people, the wall is a distraction to keep your attention away from the fact that Trump’s Crime Family Network is unravel-ing right before your eyes. We had an elec-tion and by a huge margin, those wanting an ineffective wall at the border lost that elec-tion. Grow up and pay attention to all the guilty pleas, and people revolving around Trump going to prison for lying about Trump’s Russian connections. America does not want the 18th-century solution for a 21st-century problem. Border security could be better served by using modern technology not ancient walls the next gener-ation will simply tear down.

dents on campuses. So, you can still have lunch with your student in a safe area; some of the schools from what I understand have designated a specific table so you can have lunch privately with your student. I don’t know how they’re going to work that out -- that’s up to each individual school to work out.”

The superintendent emphasized that other planned events involving parents on campus would not be affected.

“A perfect example was the spelling bee,” she said, referring to the annual Lillian A. Dassori Elementary Spelling Bee held in the Jensen Beach High School auditorium. “We had extra security there, and we were on heightened state of many people coming on campus. So, we can take that extra time when we know that there’s going to be a lot of traffic.”

development schedule including detailed development milestones and9construction completion dates; detailed cost estimates certified by a professional engineer; and a Phase 1 environmental site assessment for any necessary follow-up action.”

The lease would also require the Martin County Fair Association to provide a com-pletion date within five years of the initial lease approval. Although the organization is planning $50 million in improvements on the property to offer year-round activities on the site, Martin County will have to foot the bill on more than $1.6 million in infra-structure improvements.

“When we were discussing the ability of the fair to go on to this property,” Mr. Stokus explained, “we asked the Martin County Utilities and Solid Waste to come up with some preliminary construction costs associ-ated with an extension of the water main, as well as a sewer main extension. The water main is approximately $470,000 and the sewer forced main extension is approxi-mately $485,000. The total cost of those items is $955,000 total for utilities, $420,000 for turn lanes and about $275,000 for engi-neering fees, which would bring your total up for the potential impact to $1,650,000.”

Commissioner Sarah Heard then pep-pered the assistant county administrator with questions about infrastructure funding and the county’s plans for the existing fair-grounds if the Commission decided to pro-ceed with the proposal. When Mr. Stokus told her about potential grant opportunities but that the future of the current fairground property had yet to be debated, she felt staff

was putting the cart before the horse. “We need to figure out what our vision is

and what our plan is,” she said. “It’s prema-ture to decide to move the fairgrounds if we don’t know what we’re going to be doing with the existing fairgrounds. These are expensive county assets and we need to plan.”

Commissioner Doug Smith questioned Mr. Stokus about the purpose and use of the proposed site, which is currently classified as surplus county property.

The assistant county administrator admitted the official intent was “a little foggy.”

“My understanding is that South Florida took the properties that Martin County pur-chased and condensed them and put them with their bigger part of their water project, and we received this 107 acres of less-valu-able, fallow citrus land based on the zoning on this for recreational use,” he responded.

Commissioner Smith concurred with that assessment and expressed his backing for the proposed fair usage since it “fit the description” of the required recreational usage.

“I think for the benefit of Martin County residents and taxpayers, it’s a perfectly great idea,” he said. “So just on the face of where we are today and what you’re asking us, I think it’s perfectly appropriate to move for-ward.”

For his part, Commission Chairman Ed Ciampi said he’d been having talks with Fair Association Manager Jay Spicer about the “possibility of moving out there or to anoth-er location for many, many years,” and felt the fair itself shouldn’t be bound to the cur-rent site simply because the county doesn’t know what to do with the land afterwards.

“The concept of what we’re going to do

with the existing location actually has very little to do with the folks that are here from the fair,” he said. “That’s not their responsi-bility or their requirement. The fair is cur-rently -- and has been for 60 years -- operat-ing very effectively and efficiently and successfully and is a tremendous asset to Martin County residents.”

Mr. Spicer then addressed the Board and Commissioner Heard in particular, empha-sizing that his proposal for the new site would be much more than an annual event.

“Madam Heard, it’s not about the fair anymore,” he said. “The fair is an event that happens on the property one week a year, but this park is more inclusive of youth and community activities that will serve the community all year-round.”

The fair manager then went on to detail the planned facilities for the property, which will include a soapbox derby, archery center, equestrian center, livestock pavilion, an 80,000-square-foot expo center, a midway for carnivals and other activities and an attraction he referred to as “the farm.”

“We have a vision for a Florida Cracker Village historical center with museums,” he explained. “We’ve already been in contact with folks about relocating some buildings and building replicas of some buildings. We have the Ashley Gang exhibit that will be making a permanent home here and other things on the farm as well, like a blacksmith shop, horticultural exhibits and a petting zoo.”

As far as whether the Martin County Fair and Youth Livestock Show would lose atten-dance or participation at the new location, Mr. Spicer believes it wouldn’t affect his cur-rent tenants because he charges them very reasonable rent and the drive takes less time from the current location then driving to

U.S. 1 in Jensen Beach.“We offer them a more affordable price,”

he exclaimed. “Ninety-two percent of the groups that we have talked to that use the place now have agreed for them it’s about cost and space, so they’re willing to go over there.”

Commissioner Heard then questioned Mr. Spicer on his funding plan, which she said “relied heavily on others” including a hoped-for $1.6-million Department of Environmental Protection grant.

“Do you have that grant?” she asked. Mr. Spicer replied negatively, insisting

that applying for grants and outside funding would be useless without a signed lease.

“Until I have the paper in my hand that says we have possession of the property, I have no leverage,” he said. “They’re not going to give us any kind of funds for that.”

The commissioner, who ultimately cast the lone dissenting vote on the lease agree-ment, referred to the proposal “as a multi-million-dollar risk.”

“It’s troubling to me that you haven’t acquired commitments of funding from anyone and you’re relying upon Martin County taxpayers’ generosity to lease this valuable piece of property to you and then fund infrastructure,” Commissioner Heard said. “I’m completely onboard with preserv-ing farm land and preserving that tradition, but I’m also Martin County’s fiduciary rep-resentative and a very conservative one at that. You need to raise money first, and you need to show us more concrete intent than a funding plan that really relies upon promis-es.”

Chairman Ciampi disagreed with that assessment.

“I can’t imagine you going out to deep-pocketed folks and asking them to participate when officially you have noth-ing,” he said to Mr. Spicer. “So to me, this is the first step, and we’re showing our support and our belief in you.”

Commissioner Stacey Hetherington also chimed in, expressing support for the Fair’s expansion plans and bemoaning the fact that schools were gradually with-drawing their support for the Future Farmers of America and 4H programs.

“We’re losing a lot of our agricultural

heritage,” she said. “We’ve talked for many years about equestrian tourism in Palm City and Indiantown, and I love the way that you’ve incorporated some of those ideas to draw people all year long.”

Three members of the public also expressed their support for the proposal, including Stuart Mayor Becky Bruner.

“I didn’t believe or think we would ever get to this point with the Fair,” she exclaimed. “Everybody is this community is willing to watch this grow and get it going.”

The Commission subsequently voted 4-1 to approve the lease, with Commis-sioner Heard dissenting.

Everyone has their favorite place to grocery shop.

Some people just shop at one store, and others shop for certain items at different stores.

Not me, I shop at all the grocery stores. I love it. I can always find different foods from meat and vegetables to grocery items that are domestic and ethnic.

One day I found some breadfruit at a Hispanic grocery. I bet you don’t see that every day. By the way, you have to bake it like a potato and then peel off the outside skin. It is very starchy and needs some butter and seasoning.

Now my wife, on the other hand, never goes grocery shopping. If she goes to a store, something must be wrong or she is getting something for the grandkids.

I break down my shopping by certain categories. The store with the best produce, the best meat prices, biggest variety of food, convenient location, fast and friendly service, and finally cleanliness. That is probably why I shop at so many locations. By my standards, it is hard to find one grocery store that fills all those needs.

I am willing to bet most of you are like that as well. I guess my top reason to pick a grocery store is whether or not the store carries what I am looking for. Is the price fair or competitive? If you have to drive a few miles just to get a better price, is it worth it? No! I want to go home and cook.

Now my wife is infamous for shopping for price. Her thing is gas prices. She will drive five miles out of her way to save two cents on a gallon of gas. Let’s do the math; 11 gallons times two cents equals 22 cents and 20 minutes out of my way. Please, someone help! I am sorry, I got off track.

Here are some interesting facts about grocery shopping you probably did not know. To start with, groceries are a $600 billion dollar business. Amazingly they work on a 1½-cent to 2-cent profit. That’s correct. It means they have to sell all they can to make money. Volume is the key.

Guess who built the first real supermarket store to create this concept in 1916? You guessed it, Piggly Wiggly in Memphis, Tenn. They changed shopping forever.

Did you notice that grocery shopping carts have gotten bigger over the years? Studies have proven that larger carts increase sales by 40 percent.

What about all those cameras everywhere? It’s not for security; owners are tracking what aisles you are shop the most. They found that eggs, butter and bread are the most shopped for items. So they place them at the end of the store to make you go through all the aisles to get to them. Sounds like Las Vegas. “Excuse me, where are the restrooms?” “Well sir, you have to walk through the casino to find them at the back wall.” You get sidetracked on the way and end up spending more money!

Another great idea grocery marketing gurus invented was the 2-for-1 sale or Specials of the Day. Here is how it works. You have a shopping list and when you enter the door a sign greets you -- canned tomatoes 2-for-1. Well, you

think, I can always use canned tomatoes and then your brain is distracted from the list. How about meatballs and spaghetti tonight, let’s see I need pasta, ground beef, grated cheese and some red wine.

Then it hits you, all I needed was bread and milk, so you try to get away and run into what they call aisle stoppers at the end of the aisles. The sign reads, “Special Price,” and you read, “potato chips, buy 2 bags, save 10 cents!” Might as well get them, you think, and just below is a sign that reads, “Special Buy” and it is paper towels for $14.95, so you grab that, too. The only problem is that $14.95 is the regular price. You made it special by buying it!

Don’t feel bad; I get caught up in this, too. Recently I went in for bread, butter and milk, and the bill came to $79.46. Oh, I also forgot the main thing I went in for was grapefruit that my wife wanted. Boy, did my wife let me hear about that! She was definitely afraid to let me go back and get caught up in the grocery store shuffle. Instead she took all my credit cards and gave me $10 to shop for her grapefruit. On the way to the checkout counter, I saw some more items that looked interesting, but I went on and checked out thinking tomorrow is another day and I can get my cards back.

Friday, Feb. 1, 2019 14 Hometown News – MARTIN COUNTY – www.HometownNewsTC.com

My crazy, yet fun, week in Orlando at the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show has come to an end. It was a great

week. I got to see old friends, make new ones, and enjoy my time in Orlando.

My week again started off with the Tour Edge Multi-Manufacturer Media Event at Lake Nona (www.touredgegolf.com). This is always a premier event and the best way to kick off the week. Many media and special guests descended upon Orlando and participated in the event.

One of the guests was Sir Nick Faldo. It isn’t often that one gets to talk to a real knight. Nick was there to talk to us about his latest golf course project in central Florida. More on that

at a later date. The news from Tour Edge was fantastic.

Not only was the company introducing new clubs, but it is expanding its stable of players on the Champions Tour. The company enjoyed seven wins last year and looks to have a strong

showing this year as well. Tom Lehman and Scott McCarron are

officially Tour Edge Exotics’ staff players. They will be playing many of the company’s clubs as well as carrying the company’s logo on their bags and apparel.

I now have a new driver in my bag, the new Exotics EXS from Tour Edge. This is the most tech-loaded driver the company has ever put out. The driver features a Flight Tuning System (FTS) that includes a 9-gram and 3-gram interchangeable weights, an adjustable hosel that allows for a full four degrees of loft change, an expanded sweet spot, and a new and improved SlipStream Sole for faster clubhead speed.

The 460cc head uses Japanese TSP 910 Beta Titanium in the face for a greater spring-like effect. Engineers paired the face plate with an exceptionally light Carbon Fiber Crown, allowing weight to be strategically repositioned lower and deeper in the head for optimal spin and extremely high MOI.

This club may have been designed for golfers just like me. The modified bulge and roll on the toe of the face helps to create straighter shots when the ball is hit off the toe. Turns out that I am in the majority as most miss-hits occur on the toe of the club. The EXS Driver keeps me from being punished much at all for that miss.

We all should be playing hybrids. The Tour Edge staff players on the Champions Tour are thriving with the new Exotics EXS Hybrids in their bags.

Using the same Flight Tuning System as the driver, the hybrid line has most of the features you find in the driver, but in a club designed to replace those long, hard-to-hit,

irons. The cup face on the EXS Hybrids is

“quench hardened”, a special heating technique that takes 750 degrees to provide an extreme amount of strength while allowing for a thinner face. The result is a greater energy transfer to the ball. The results will put a smile on your face.

The latest iron from Tour Edge Exotics is the EXS. This hollow-body iron features a myriad of game-enhancing innovations. The irons have a forged Cup Face with state-of-the-art SpiderWeb VFT Technology for expanded sweet spots, a hollow-body design on long irons and an undercut design on short irons that incorporates LaunchPad technology behind the face for optimal launch, a 19-gram Tungsten weight for extreme toe weighting and a Ramped Sole for faster clubhead speed through the turf. The variable face thickness technology acts as a web across the back of the face to enhance the sweet spot in every direction. The forged cup face is extremely light and thin, and coupled with a TPE polymer that has been coated with a special performance gel that absorbs shock and creates more spring effect. The hollow body design also offers the best in perimeter weighting and increased face flex on long irons. A 19-gram Tungsten toe weight elongates the sweet spot even further for maximum forgiveness on the face. A Ramped Sole offers more relief on the heel and toe for smoother turf interaction. The week was off to a great start. Over the next several weeks, I will mix in some stories on the items of interest that I found at the show. One disturbing thing that I did notice was

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, take a few extra moments each morning or evening to slow down and think about all the good luck that has recently come your way.

that the number of small companies exhibiting at the show has shrunk considerably. The empty space or space taken up by food vendors and tables was larger than I have ever seen. If you add that space to all the other non-exhibitor space, there had to be a 25 percent or more reduction in exhibitors. Not a good sign for the industry.
