Pets are good for body, spirit Ihave always had pets. From small

turtles and those goldfish we wonat school fairs to a parakeet and

then cats and dogs, animals havealways been part of my life. Whilemine have been rescue animals, theyhave often rescued me as much as Ihave them.

I had a cat named Marmalade, wholooked as though he’d stepped in apot of jam. He died six months aftermy husband, and I had such a senseof not being able to keep those I lovedalive. It was irrational, but it wasthere. I had another cat, Memory, andthe two of us looked a little lost.

One day, I walked into the vet’soffice. He often had rescue animalsfor adoption. One of the vet techsfound an abandoned cat with a largesore on its neck. I took one look athim, and he came home with me.

I named him Tickety-Boo, after one

of my English husband’s expressions.When things were going well, he saidthey were Tickety-Boo. I called him“Boo.”

I closed “Boo” in my office at home,so he could get the lay of the landbefore he met Memory. He disap-peared behind the desk and shelves. Iput out a litter box, food and water.The next morning, the food waseaten, the litter box used and therewas a dead water bug on the floorthat I didn’t think committed suicide.

I would sit at my desk each day,

INDIANTOWN — A lot of girlsdream of being cowgirls, but IrisPollock Wall is the real thing.

The Indiantown native, now 82, isthe subject of the new children’sbook, “Iris Wall, Cracker Cowgirl,”by Carol Matthews Rey, a second-grade teacher at Warfield Elemen-tary School in Indiantown, withillustrations by Eldon Lux.

“My own opinion is that Crackersare a culture,” she said in a recentphone interview. “They’re inlandpeople, with generations in Florida.Many have ties to the land in catfishor cattle. Cracker people are usuallycountry. The dictionary says they’re‘poor white trash,’ but Webster did-n’t know everything.”

Mrs. Wall said she thought Crack-ers came originally from Georgiaand became Florida Crackers whenthey crossed the border.

“They might not have schooling,but they were far from ignorant,”she said. “They knew how to impro-vise and do without.”

Mrs. Wall said that Indiantown,where she grew up, was a specialplace.

“I was born in Indiantown andknew every soul that was bornhere,” she said. “We’ve been practic-ing ‘it takes a village’ all my life.They were ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ whenthey moved in. If they lived heretheir whole lives, they were ‘aunt’ or‘uncle’ and if they were old, theywere ‘grandma’ and ‘grandpa.’ Itmade no difference if they wererelated; they got into it if you’d donewrong. If one of us had a need,everyone rallied.”

In 1948, 18-year-old Iris Pollock

married Homer Wall, whom every-body called “Cowboy.” Theyranched together and raised threedaughters.

“I was crazy in love with Homer,and he loved me just the same,”Mrs. Wall said. “There was plenty ofheartache and sorrow and not

always enough money, but we had agood time.”

The Walls were successful atranching and eventually branchedout into the lumber business. Theyalso bought the Seminole Inn, anIndiantown landmark. In fact, theybought it three times.

“We bought it in 1975,” Mrs. Wallsaid. “It still had the original furni-ture and bathrooms at the end ofthe hall. I said, ‘Lord, Homer, whatare we going to do with a hotel?’ Wefound out it was hard to run.”

New store hopes to help pet owners keep pets

STUART — For many people, feed-ing pets and providing them with vet-erinary care has become a challenge.In difficult economic times, peoplesometimes have to give up belovedpets because they can’t afford to feedthem.

Joel Rossen, a Stuart veterinarian,has dreamed of opening a pet foodbank for about 18 months.

“I’ve been trying to get them aplace to get food and get themthrough hard times,” he said. “I’vebeen trying to raise money to buyfood. A close friend in Boca has ashelter there that gets support from athrift store. I thought that opening upa thrift store would be a good way tosupport a food bank.”

Dr. Rossen has found space for histhrift shop, Family Pet Food Bank, at

200 S.E. Seville St., in Stuart. He ispaying the rent out of his own pocketfor now.

“That was the only way to make ithappen,” he said. “In the beginning,we’ll be open Friday-Sunday from 9a.m.-6 p.m. By October, we’re hopingto be open six days a week.

“We need volunteers to run it, andwhile we do have three rooms of stuffat the thrift store, it’s not enough forongoing inventory,” he added. “We’realso very much in need of a big boxtruck, so we can go pick up dona-tions. It would be wonderful.”

The thrift store accepts furnishingsand home goods, gently used cloth-ing and pet supplies. Cash donationsare also welcome.

Dr. Rossen grew up in St. Louis andhas been in Florida for 20 years. Hemoved to Martin County in 2004.

Garlic is commonly added todog and cat food, dog and cattreats, and gourmet dog and

cat foods. Why? I don’t know. Butwhat I do know is that if you wouldwrite a letter, email or tweet to thecompanies making these productsthat soon they would remove garlicbecause high levels of it can be toxicto your pets.

Ready. Set. Write!Haven’t you ever wondered whether

it is safe to feed garlic to your dog?And how about garlic found in catfood, cat treats and gourmet catfoods? Supplements can also containgarlic.

It’s about time that you know thetruth about feeding dogs and catsgarlic, also known as “the stinkingrose.”

The stinking rose certainly doesstink of sulfur compounds found in

each clove or toe. And garlic has beenused in cuisine over for more than3,500 years, first recorded by theGreeks. As to the rose reference, thisis a misnomer, since it is from theliliaceae family known as the lilyfamily and the genus allium.

Allium is Latin for garlic. Otherplants that are alliums are onions,leeks, scallions, shallots and chives.

Sulfur compounds in garlic includeallicin, also known as diallyl thiosul-fate or DATS.

Allicin is toxic (poisonous) wheneaten by dogs, and cats are even moresensitive to it.

But how much does a dog or cathave to eat to experience toxiceffects? A formula is known and theamount can be calculated to thegram. Toxicity can be caused byeating lots of small amounts overtime, or eating a large dose once.

The toxic effects are caused byallicin attacking the red-blood cells.

The hemoglobin, oxygen-carryingprotein, clumps and causes cellrupture. When enough red blood cellsrupture, anemia ensues leading tolow oxygen content of the blood(hypoxia) and the death of the dog orcat.

Prior to death, a dog or cat can

experience symptoms of weakness,then trouble breathing (dyspnea),followed by collapse and blue gums(cyanosis) with an increased heartrate.

In some cases, garlic toxicity can bemore subtle causing vomiting anddiarrhea, reddened skin (contactdermatitis), asthma or even stomachulcers (gastric ulcer and perforatedulcer).

Have you fed your dog or catanything with garlic in it? And if youranswer is yes does your dog or cathave any of the symptoms or diag-

working and talking to Boo, eventhough I couldn’t see him. He neededantibiotics for the sore, but since Icouldn’t apply it, I crushed it andadded it to his food.

One day, a little white face and pinknose peeked out at me. I said, “Hello.”

When he saw me move closer, hedisappeared again. This went on forseveral weeks. A few times, heseemed as if wanted to come out, but

he changed his mind at the lastminute. Still, I talked to him. After atime, I didn’t even feel silly talking tomy computer screen.

Eventually, enough of him peekedout that I was able to touch him. Hewas under a dresser and I stretchedout on the floor, sticking one handunder the furniture to stroke hishead. He seemed to like it, butwouldn’t let me closer.

Then one day, Boo appeared. Hebatted my leg as I walked by and ranaway. I left the door open and went

into the other rooms. He met Memo-ry and the two of them seemed to getalong. Boo had found a home, and Ihad found Boo. We were both verylucky.

Today, pets are often found inunusual settings. Dogs visit nursinghomes and hospitals. Often, a resi-dent who hasn’t responded to any-thing else will respond to an animaland begin talking about a dog or catthey once had. Dogs are used inreading programs, too.

Children who are having trouble

reading will sit down with a dog andread to the animal. With the focus offthe child and with a partner who iscuddly and non-judgmental, thechild is often able to relax. Readingskills improve.

In this issue, you will meet peoplewho love animals and share that lovewith others. Many have multiple petsbecause they are a bit like potatochips. You can’t have just one.

noses I have mentioned?To avoid the possibly fatal conse-

quences of garlic toxicity, one mustbe conscientious about the foods oneis feeding their dog or cat. Thisincludes processed pet foods and petsupplements such as arthritis supple-

ments, vitamins and flea productspurported to prevent fleas.

Some people foods that have garlichiding within them include bouilloncubes, soup, spaghetti sauce, hotdogs and even some cheeses to namejust a few. When in doubt just readthe label and look for garlic.

All forms of garlic are toxic includ-ing fresh garlic, garlic oil and garlicpowders.

Many forms of garlic are used in amyriad products specifically made fordogs and cats.

William Shakespeare wrote of garlicin “A Midsummer’s Night Dream,”“Eat no onions nor garlic, for we areto utter sweet breath.”

He knew that garlic was stinky.When it comes to feeding dogs andcats, “the stinking rose” really doesstink.

The Walls sold the hotel, but thenew buyer couldn’t make a go of itand Homer bought it back. Thesame thing happened again and theWalls bought it for the third time.

“We really fixed it up, and ourmiddle daughter, Jonni, said she’drun it,” Mrs. Wall said. “There areonly 28 rooms and you’re lucky if

you break even. It’s an old buildingand we just love it. It’s Indiantown.”

Homer died in 1994, after a mar-riage that lasted 47 years. Mrs. Wallstill runs the 1,200-acre ranch, rais-ing Brahman, Angus and the cross-bred Brangus cattle. She was namedFlorida Woman of the Year in Agri-culture in 2006, but what she enjoysmost is bringing groups of second-graders around the ranch, givingthem a taste of what life used to be.

“We bring them to the ranch andteach them about the land, cattle,marshes, swamps and what a cowis,” Mrs. Wall said. “There’s very lit-tle written about it for children andevery kid wants to be a cowboy orcowgirl.”

To make the experience evenmore meaningful for the children,Mrs. Wall bought an old hand-wringer washer, and an old box ofsoap.

“We put up clotheslines and theyoung ‘uns love to wash, rinse andhang them up. They pump waterout of a hand pump to fill up thetubs. It’s the funniest thing howmuch they love the washing.”

The children also learn about playtime, long before the era of videogames.

“We have a big old cotton ropeand they play tug-of-war,” Mrs. Wallsaid. “They play kick-the-can, popwhips and roast marshmallows. I’mamazed at kids who have neverroasted marshmallows. When theteachers first bring them out,

they’re afraid they’ll get hurt. I say,‘let ‘em run.’ Kids need to just playand use their imaginations.”

Mrs. Wall still spends time in thewoods she loves, even though herdaughters worry about her.

“The kids bought me a cell phone,but it’s been on the counter thewhole year,” she said.

“I go out into the woods and if Iget stuck, I go to the road and hitcha ride. It drives my kids nuts.”

Mrs. Wall is pleased with the bookabout her life and hopes it will helpchildren understand a time whenlife was simpler and people reliedon themselves and those aroundthem. The only quibble about thebook has come from her great-grandson, Josh.

“He said there was a big mistakebecause there was no ‘John Deere’on the wagon,” she said.

Dr. Rossen has been a vet formany years and has seen many peo-ple struggle to take care of theirpets. He offers a pet vaccinationclinic at the thrift store on the firstSunday of the month from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m.

“A lot of people are torn apartfinancially,” he said.“They can’t afford to keep their pets.Maybe, we can do a lot of good. Theother organizations, which providerescue, find animals a home. I wantto keep animals in the homesthey’ve got. Then, some other ani-mals in a shelter can be adopted.”

Ultimately, Dr. Rossen hopes tohave his food bank, as well as thethrift shop.

“My idea, and I haven’t discoveredif we can make it work, is not only tohave a thrift store, but a pet food

store, with prices similar to otherstores,” he said. “The big differenceis that we can create a following,and if they buy from us, the profitgoes to feeding hungry animals andnot to a corporation.

“You can come to us and partici-pate in the welfare of your own petsand those of others,” he added. “Ithink it’s a viable business plan. Ifit’s successful, I’d like to take itthroughout the state.”

Right now, Dr. Rossen is seekingvolunteers with a variety of talents.

“I’m looking for fundraising andpublic relations ideas,” he said. “Iwant an expert in extreme coupon-ing, and we can have classes. I’mlooking for ways to accumulate dogand cat food for very few dollars. Iwant to build a team of people whohave the desire to help.”

nostalgia, great food

MARTIN COUNTY — It’s hard to topthe retro-diner concept: comfort food atincredible prices.

But in Stuart, one restaurant that wasactually in business in the now “retro”era of the 1950s and ’60s is showing howa master does it.

Charley’s Flashback Diner, “a familytradition since 1955,” is a great choicefor a simple but excellent meal that’sfast and fresh.

Its staff is friendly, efficient and alert.On a recent visit, every employeeencountered, from the busboy to theservers, manager and owner, offered asmile or greeting, and nothing unwant-ed lingered on the table.

The restaurant has a reputation for

serving the best burgers in town, and it’swell deserved.

Made with fresh Angus, their pattiesare generous, juicy, charbroiled to orderand the sandwiches require two handsto hold.

The quality of the beef creates thekind of supreme burger that easily sellsfor nearly twice as much at other estab-lishments. Flashback burgers start at$5.29.

The breakfasts, too, set Charley’sFlashback Diner apart.

With 31 varieties, its array of omeletsalone could intrigue a breakfast lover forweeks.

Mouthwatering, hot-off-the-grill spe-cials add to the jammed menu.

powdered sugar come with ham, bacon,and link or patty sausage for $6.99.

A Southern slam platter serves up twobiscuits halves smothered in home-made sausage gravy with two eggs pre-pared any style, two bacon strips andsausage links, plus a choice of homefries, grits or oatmeal for $6.49.

The super slam has two pancakes and

three each of eggs, bacon strips and linksausages, while fruit slam offers twopancakes, large eggs and fresh fruit.

It’s easy to get breakfast for less than$3 from 6-11 a.m. every day, when therestaurant runs its sunrise specials. Themeal includes eggs, fries, grits or oat-meal with toast, biscuit or English muf-fin.

“People come back all the time andtell us the food is good. That’s the biggestreward any restaurant can get,” saidStephanie DiSalvo, who manages therestaurant with her brother, Charley.

Ms. DiSalvo, a former banker whospent 25 years in her previous career,has helped with training, bringing newideas and trimming the menu.

The friendly culture is apparent, andthe food is homemade, prepared byChef Tommy Carter.

The restaurant has also seamlesslymerged the old and new to offer cus-tomers the best of the nostalgic andtoday.

It offers its iconic model train thattravels on a track overhead to images oficons, such as Barbie, Marilyn Monroe,Elvis Presley, Betty Boop, Mickey

Mouse, the Ford Model T and the Beat-les.

There’s even a counter where guestscan sit for a soda pop and slice of cherrypie, served à la mode.

But the menu also has “lighter fare”with reduced calories and some inter-national favorites, including the fajitasalad served in a crispy edible bowl.

“People come just for that,” Ms. DiS-alvo said.

Charley’s Flashback Diner is located at3259 S.E. Federal Highway. It opens dailyfrom 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., except on Sundaysand Mondays, when it closes at 2 p.m.For more information, call (772) 286-1983.
