BOCA RATON – The city’s paid parking system should be in place by the end of the year, according to local officials.Earlier this year, the City Council approved the cre-ation of nearly 400 paid parking spaces in areas such as Mizner Park, Pal-metto Park Road near the beach and the city parking lot at the corner of North Federal Highway and NE Second Street.The system will not be made up of individual me-ters, but rather, a series of numbered spaces and centralized payment sta-tions. Motorists can pay to park for varying lengths of time in various parts of the community.Council members OKed the plan by a 4-1 vote (with Councilman Anthony Ma-jhess casting the sole “nay” vote) as a means of raising additional revenue at a time when the city budget is tight. Officials figure to raise between $600,000 to $700,000 a year by charg-ing for parking.The city will spend about $339,659 to buy and install the timing devices.Meters were to be installed by October, but it is more likely they will arrive by the end of the year, Trans-portation Analyst John Reilly told the Boca Raton Tribune.In all, 387 parking spaces will be created: 165 4-hour meters in Mizner Park; 59

Boca’s new paid parking system due by year’s end, officials say

4-hour meters on Pal-metto Park Road be-tween the Intracoastal Waterway and State Road A1A; 18 one-hour spaces in the South Beach Pavilion east of A1A; 32 4-hour me-ters on Spanish River Boulevard between the Intracoastal and A1A; 93 4-hour spaces in Red Reef Park west of A1A and 20 8-hour spaces in the city parking lot at Federal and NE Second Street.The price for parking will be:• In Mizner Park, $1 an hour from 7 a.m. to 4:59 p.m. and $2 an hour from 5 to 6:59 p.m.• NE 1st Avenue parking lot, $1.50 an hour for all 24 hours of a day.• Palmetto Park Road near the beach, $1.50 an hour for all 24 hours of a day.• South Beach Pavilion, $2 an hour from open to close.• Red Reef Park West, $1.50 an hour from open to close• Spanish River Boule-vard, $1.50 an hour for all 24 hours.The city will hire addi-tional employees to run the parking meter program. Two full-time workers will be hired for customer ser-vice and coordination of the program. Six or seven part-time employees will be hired for enforcement.To work the system cor-rectly, a motorist must park

his or her car in a metered space. The car driver must remember the number of the space.Then, he or she must lo-cate the parking meter sta-tion identified with a cir-cled P. Enter the number of your parking space and select the amount of time you need.Payment can be made by credit card or cash. Parkers are not required to leave the receipt on the dash-board.To add time, go to any parking meter location in the city. Enter your par-king space number, select the amount of time you want to add and make a payment.A demonstration model of the parking pay station is available at the Boca Ra-ton Community Center at 150 Crawford Blvd.For information, call the parking administration of-fice at 561-367-7048 or email [email protected].

This demonstration model of a parking meter pay station is located in the Boca Raton

Community Center. It will al-low people to walk through the process of paying for parking.

BOCA RATON – With help from a police dog, Boca Raton officers arrest-ed suspects in connection with a burglary at a home on Newcastle Street Sept. 15.The suspects were identi-fied as Ernest Dessources, 18, of 311 Jeffery St. and David Henson Julien, Jr., 21, of 399 Ipswich St., both in Boca Raton. Public In-formation Manager Mark Economou said Julien was charged with one count of burglary and possession of oxycodone, along with burglary of an occupied dwelling and grand theft. Dessources was charged with burglary of an occu-pied dwelling and grand theft.Economou said residents on Newcastle Street called police around 6 p.m. Sept. 15 to report a suspicious suspect walking around the house of a resident who was out of town. They told authorities they saw a suspect enter the home through a window.Responding officers sur-rounded the home. As Offi-cer Mercer and his K-9 Cz-ita were entering the home, a Boca Raton officer saw the suspect trying to escape through a rear window. The officer ordered the suspect to get on the ground, but instead the suspect went back into the house, where he confronted Officer Mer-cer and Czita. The suspect halted and was handcuffed.

BOCA RATON - Local se-niors and members of the Florida Alliance for Re-tired Americans rallied Sept. 16 to show their support for U.S. Rep. Ron Klein (D-District 22) at the Dayscape Senior Center in Coconut Creek. The alliance represents more than 200,000 retirees and older Americans. “We have endorsed Con-gressman Klein because of his track record of preser-ving and protecting Social Security and Medicare,” Florida Alliance for Reti-red Americans president Tony Fransetta said. “His opponent has radical ideas that are not in the best in-terests of the seniors that we represent. ““I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the Florida Alliance of Retired Americans,” said Klein, “and I am proud to represent 130,000 seniors here in South Florida. I am committed to fighting for our seniors every day.”Klein said he strongly op-poses privatizing Social Security and Medicare.“I will not allow these pro-grams to be jeopardized or destroyed,” Klein said. “Our seniors have paid in-to these programs with a lifetime of hard work, and we have to keep our end of the deal. Especially in these challenging times, when seniors rely on their monthly Social Security check or the right to see a doctor of their choice, we need to do whatever it takes to protect them.”Klein vowed when he first ran for Congress in 2006 that he would close the

Medicare Part D dough-nut hole and work to lower prescription drug costs. He said he kept that promise, working with AARP to close the doughnut hole for good and provide se-niors with $250 rebate checks to help with the cost of medicine.Elders and alliance mem-bers said Klein’s leader-ship on key senior issues inspired him to craft the common-sense Seniors’ Bill of Rights, which is built around three principles: the right of seniors to financial security, which requires new measures to protect against scam artists and criminals preying on se-niors; the right of seniors to stability, which requires fighting to protect Medi-care and Social Security; and the right of seniors to safety in their homes and communities, which in-cludes access to transpor-

tation and safe, reputable nursing homes and day-care centers.“We need Congressman Klein’s continued leader-ship to ensure our senior population can have a dig-nified retirement,” Day-scape Senior Center di-rector Susan Eichler said. “Congressman Klein’s commitment to fighting for seniors on everything from strengthening Medicare, Social Security to improv-ing transportation for our local seniors demonstrate why we need him repre-senting us.”

BOCA RATON - The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the drowning of a 19-month-old boy in West Boca the morning of Sept. 19, offi-cials said.A PBSO report said depu-ties responded to 17820 Holly Brook Way, Boca Raton, about 10:35 a.m. after Alaadin Bazian was found submerged in the family swimming pool. Family members immedi-ately began resuscitation efforts. A neighbor who works with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue heard the commotion and came to assist. Fire Rescue Station 52 arrived and continued with lifesaving efforts while transporting the child to Delray Com-munity Hospital. Alaadin was pronounced dead at

11:35 a.m. According to a report, there were five additional family members in the home during the time of the incident. Each state-ment provided the same sequence of events. At about 10 a.m., the vic-tim’s mother and grand-mother began making breakfast. Everyone re-members Alaadin running around the kitchen while breakfast was being pre-pared. At approximately 10:30 a.m., the family was getting ready to sit down to eat and they began to call for Alaadin. When they were unable to locate him in the house, the family looked outside and found him in the bottom of the pool. The mother, father and grandfather jumped in the

pool to remove him. The only person in the house who knew CPR was the 16-year-old aunt. She continued with resuscita-tion until Fire Rescue ar-rived. Investigators said there are exits from the house to the patio area. The patio area is screened. There is one door that is latched and bolted at the top of the door. This door leads to a second patio area. The pool is separated by this patio by a white fence with a childproof latch. There is one door in the house that leads directly to the pool. This door has a han-dle lock and a bolt lock. The family did not believe Alaadin was capable of un-locking the door, the report says.

Earlier in the day, police said, there was a similar incident on NE 7th Avenue. Economou said Julien ad-mitted he entered the home and was scared off when confronted by the home-owner. She described the suspect as a man with the

same clothing that Julien was wearing while com-mitting the burglary on Newcastle Street. Through the course of the investigation, police said, it was determined that Julien accompanied by Ernest Dessources. According

to police, Dessources told investigators he was with Julien in the house on NE 7th Avenue and stole a lap-top, an iPod and a digital camera.

Budget cuts are taking away some of Boca’s little goodies

You’ll pardon me if I feel a little sad today.I’m sitting at my desk looking at The Recreator magazine for September-December 2010. Like many people, I subscribe to it to keep abreast of what’s being offered in Boca in the way of special events and activities at lo-cal playgrounds. This issue also has a rundown of holi-day activities.Across the front is a big box with the words: final mailing of Recreator, and it urges the reader to see page 3.Well, page 3 says that all future issues of The Recre-ator will only be available at Recreation Services fa-cilities, City Hall and on-line. This is not the result of high technology. It’s the result of budget cuts.I’ve sat through a lot of budget meetings in my time. But during the past few years, the Boca meet-ings have been on the mo-rose side. They’re packed with financial cutbacks. The reductions have been

bad since state legislation mandated lower levels of spending. Remember how the city lost about 100 va-cant positions and 40-some people to cost reductions the first year?This past Monday night, the council adopted the budget for fiscal 2010-2011. Again, some people have lost their jobs, the teen center is closed and service hours have been cut at various city facili-ties.The Recreator I’m holding in my hands is the last one that will be mailed out to subscribers. I know I can go online and read it, but it just seems so much more convenient to keep a copy where I can grab it.This edition even caught my wife’s eye. I saw her poring over it looking for programs we might be in-terested in attending. Just for your information, these are some of the cut-backs going into effect in the new budget year:• Delaying vehicle and equipment purchases.• Reducing hours that both

city libraries will be open.• Reducing hours that ten-nis centers will be open.• Closing Spanish River Park on Tuesdays, Wednes-days and Thursdays.• Reducing the use of secu-rity guards.And discontinuing the hard copy of The Recreator. City Manager Leif Ahn-ell has said that residents will see the city make “a significant realignment of resources” this coming year. Among these is tak-ing over operation of the Mizner Park Amphithe-ater from the Centre for the Arts, which apparently is now defunct. And Boca also has to set up a park-ing administration to deal with the new paid parking plan that goes into effect shortly.That doesn’t mean Boca is just sitting back and taking it. Economic development is still on the front burner. I’m going to miss not find-ing The Recreator in my mailbox four times a year. And I’m sure other people are going to miss some of the niceties that will be

passing into history.Speaking of history….The Boca Raton Histori-cal Society will sponsor Oktoberfest 2010 on Sat-urday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Count de Hoernle Train Pavilion (the former FEC station) at 747 South Dixie Highway in Boca Raton.The evening will include German beer and food, along with the sounds of The Sheffield Brothers Band. There will also be an old fashioned bake sale, featuring German baked goods.Committee members in-clude Debbie Abrams, Helen Ballerano, Mary Csar, Kathy Qualman, Jamie Sauer, Madelyn Sa-varick, Lisa Vander Ploeg and Dawn Zook.The cost is $75 per person and $65 for Young Friends Members.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

POSITIVE LIVING

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having

received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

EDITION 15

God wants us to recognize the importance of tomor-row by giving us today, each day! He desires that we plan our future because we have to live there. And the way one plans for the future is tied up to how one manages the present. C.S. Lewis rightfully ob-served that “the present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.”Wise men of the past warned that one should not worry about tomor-row. They were equally emphatic in their chal-lenges regarding making plans, following guide-lines, understanding the times, so as to face intel-ligently and courageously each new surprise that comes, good or bad, as we embark into the future

Shaping the future today!which is being shaped.As a modern poet ex-presses it, “we build a new tomorrow on plans we make today!” Each new day reaches its end, but it also merges into a new tomorrow with all the opportunities it brings.In the words of Loren B. Mead, “God always calls us to be more than we have been!” We can-not stop the clock, much less can we return to the good ol’ days. The move-ment which God desires for each of His children is always in a forward direction, with the future clearly in mind! David Livingstone, in the 19th century, recorded in his journals something I have adopted as a person-al motto: “I am prepared to go anywhere, as long as

it is forward.”A commitment to the future is important be-cause it is there and then that one’s goals are real-ized, one’s projects reach completion, even if inad-equately, because of being tinged by human frailties.Moving towards the fu-ture is inescapable, re-gardless of how difficult the journey. Hopefully you’ve learned how to hold on to what shall last and discard all that is pro-visional. This is a pos-ture of genuine wisdom which, by its very nature, requires taking risks.On earth we are confront-ed with too many tempo-ral realities. We need to hold on to what lasts and gradually leads into the future, there to remain with us beyond time.

It always gives me a good feeling to deliver good news. So, I feel very good today.

It’s time to announce that the Boca Raton Tribune is about to become a weekly publication.

It’s hard to believe it’s been more than seven months since we began delivering the new from East and West Boca to ev-eryone in the community. And a month before that, we were setting everything up on our website.

We hope you’re looking at both. The paper looks beautiful, and it has grown to 40 pages from the 24 we first started to publish back in February. The number of color pages has increased, and we have continued to stick to our promise of bringing you many, many pictures of community events.

The response has been wonderful. Every day, we get calls about how much people enjoy reading the Tribune. And we’re just getting started.

Season is coming fast, and so is the weekly edition of Boca Raton Tribune

Our staff is out there, find-ing news, shooting photos and bringing them to you in print and online. We will keep going as season comes along.

Get out your tuxedos and evening gowns. It’s that time of year again.

Pizza for a cause

Tomasso’s Pizza has “gone pink,” and that doesn’t mean they’re using vodka sauce on the hot pies.

The popular local pizza spot is helping Boca Raton Regional Hospital with a raffle for a year’s supply of pizza, an Italian dinner for 10 or an office party for 10 people. Proceeds from the raffle will Go Pink Challenge, which supports the Women’s Health and Wellness Center for Breast Cancer Care at the hospi-tal.

Every entrant is a win-ner. All who buy a ticket will get a certificate for a free two-topping pizza at Tomasso’s and a gift back from Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

Buy your tickets at Tomas-so’s at 1229 West Palmetto Park Road. Only 150 tick-ets will be sold.

Come by Oct. 1 from 6 to 7 to enjoy refreshments and preparing for the 7 p.m. drawing of the win-ning ticket.

Helping Tri County

Speaking of season, Hal-loween is coming soon. And to mark the occasion, the Tri County Humane Society will hold a “Paws for Halloween” cocktail party Tuesday, October 19th from 6 to 8 p.m. at Villagio Restaurant at Mizner Park, 344 Plaza Real, on the outdoor patio.

Dogs 50 pounds and under on a leash or in a stroller are welcome. Dress up your pet for Halloween. Prizes will be awarded.

Traffic cameras soon could spread farther across Palm Beach County, watch-ing for red-light runners who won’t know they got caught until a $158 viola-tion notice arrives in the mail.The County Commission last week approved new red-light camera rules that mirror state legisla-tion passed this year to regulate the deals local governments can strike with companies that provide the cameras and ticketing service.County officials hope to have a contract with a camera vendor - Ameri-can Traffic Solutions - ready for commission-ers to vote on in coming weeks. The first cam-eras, planned at Power-line and Palmetto Park roads west of Boca Ra-ton, could go up in October.The county initially plans to install 20 cameras at ad-ditional high-traffic areas.Companies provide the cameras and the monitor-ing service, profiting from the number of red-light runners they catch. In re-turn, county officials say, residents get safer streets.

Boca approves ‘hold the line’ tax rate for 2010-2011; economic development

funds slashedBy Dale M. King

BOCA RATON - Set against a backdrop of job losses, home foreclosures and “people that are hurting,” the Boca Raton City Coun-cil Monday night slashed about $5 million to keep the tax rate for fiscal 2010-2011 at virtually the same level as the current year.The last-minute effort to mollify what residents said would be a 10 percent hike in the rate removed much of the funding that was set aside for economic deve-lopment and also sharply reduced capital for pro-grams at the Mizner Park Amphitheatre, which the city just took over from the now-defunct Centre for the Arts. At the end of a nearly 90 minute budget hearing, council members voted unanimously to adopt a small increase in the city’s property tax rate - from $3.34 to $3.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value - rather than an increase to $3.69 per $1,000 as initial-ly proposed. Much of the higher pro-perty tax would have gone to such new programs as financial incentives to bu-sinesses relocating to or expanding in the city ($4 million) and downtown e-vents and running the am-phitheater ($1.9 million).In the end, city officials decided to cut most of that proposed new spending. The city won’t set up an econom-ic development fund. And it will spend only $227,400 on downtown events and $759,400 on the amphithe-

ater.That doesn’t mean the city is giving up on economic development. Several coun-cil members said the city has a healthy reserve fund and could dip into that if a good deal comes along.Councilwoman Constance Scott cited the need for business incentives. “It was incentives that drew IBM to Austin, Texas; that drew Mercedes to Alabama; that drew Max Planck to Jupiter. We have to fight for our city’s desirability.” She also cited the need to buttress small businesses, which are major job cre-ators.Councilman Mike Mul-laugh said that if a com-pany is angling to come into Boca, “we will find the money” to offer incen-tives.The vote came after a half-dozen residents came to the podium, painting a grim picture of Boca’s fi-nancial situation. Several slammed the proposed new downtown library, saying it was either unnecessary or would quickly become obsolete in a high-tech en-vironment.But Mayor Susan Whelchel noted that the city is sim-ply carrying out the desire of a majority of residents who approved construc-tion of two new libraries in a 2003 bond referendum. City Manager Leif Ahnell also said the money for the new library has been obtained and is “in city coffers.” An architect has been hired, he said, and a site has been approved.It was a motion by Whelchel

that began the process of resetting the tax rate at the 2009-2010 level. Deputy Mayor Susan Haynie se-conded it.“This is a difficult time for residents,” Haynie said. “I will support this.”“I’m happy we can reduce the tax rate,” said Coun-cilman Anthony Majhess, who cited “four or five foreclosures on my block. I have seen too many people moving out of Boca Ra-ton.”He did agree that money is available in the reserve fund to provide incentives to businesses interested in locating in Boca.Whelchel noted that eco-nomic development was a major plank in her inaugural address nearly three years ago. Because of efforts to keep the economy stable, she said, 296 new jobs ha-ve been created in Boca Raton and 952 have been saved.In the end, the council’s decisions cut spending on new programs to $986,800 from almost $6 million.As part of other cutbacks in the budget for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 17 full-time employees were laid off. The city plans to eliminate pay raises, close the teen center, reduce tennis center hours, close Spanish River Park three days a week and reduce li-brary hours.The council did increase some sources of revenue by raising the trash fee and fire assessment fee and de-ciding to bring in red-light cameras and parking me-ters.

Haitian earthquake survivor now a student at Lynn University

BOCA RATON - Lynn University saw an outpour-ing of kindness and gener-osity after the earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010 flattened parts of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and took the lives of two university professors and four students. In early February, Doug Briggs, a Boca Raton resi-dent, and his wife Peggy, came to Lynn’s Office of Development wanting to assist a Haitian student whose education had been interrupted by the earth-quake.Lynn’s admission team worked with the U.S. State

Gwendoline Darguste’s home in Haiti after last January’s destructive earthquake.

Department and the Haiti Embassy to identify a student from Haiti Univer-sity who had the po-tential to be success-ful at Lynn. A student - Gwen-doline (Gwen) Dar-guste - was identi-fied, and the Briggs Family Haitian Scho-larship was establi-shed.

Gwen, a 20-year-old fresh-man at Lynn majoring in international relations, started her classes just re-cently. “There are fewer students in my classes here at Lynn,” said Gwen when asked about the differenc-es between Lynn and her former university. In addi-tion, she said, “the teach-ers give you the freedom to think for yourself.”“I’m trying to adjust to the different language,” said Gwen, “but I think I’ll be able to succeed. Lynn is great, and the students are so nice. I’m especially ex-cited about participating in the Model U.N. I’ve never had the opportunity to do

that.”She is the youngest of three children and her parents, Garnel and Josette Dar-guste, educated their first two children. Gwen was a Grade A student at Haiti University, but on Jan. 12, she watched as her school crumbled to the ground.“When this dark day came and took away almost ev-erything, my parents and I were asking ourselves if all those years of sacrifi-ces and hard work were in vain,” wrote Gwen in a let-ter to Lynn University and the Briggs family. “A million times thank you for everything; you are giving me something most people in their life-time don’t get to have: a chance to realize and live their dream.”Marcheta Wright, a profes-sor of international rela-tions and Gwen’s academ-ic advisor, said “Gwen is a wonderful addition to our student body. She clearly is excited about her classes and pursuing her degree in international relations.”

BOCA RATON – Florida Atlantic University’s Mus-lim and Jewish student leaders teamed up Sept. 13 to help spread understand-ing and respect for each other’s religions and holy texts. They joined reli-gious leaders and individu-als from the community to read and discuss passages from both The Old Testa-ment and The Qur’an. The discussion was held inside the Jewish Life Cen-ter at FAU’s Boca Raton campus. It was sponsored by the FAU Muslim Stu-dent Organization and the Jewish Student Union in conjunction with Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach.The event was envisioned by the organizers as FAU’s response to recent inflam-matory statements made by Pastor Terry Jones of Dove World Church in Gainesville. The pastor had threatened to burn

Qur’ans on September 11.“Those who burn books ultimately can burn bod-ies,” said, Rabbi David Steinhardt of B’nai Torah Congregation in Boca Ra-ton, quoting Jewish poet Heinrich Heine.“The threat to burn the Qur’an is an insult to hu-manity. It’s an insult to every single person who believes in the dignity of the human being and the capacity of the human mind. I stand with my Is-lamic brothers and sisters in my repudiation of that and how despicable it is,” Rabbi Steinhardt said.The rabbi and Sheikh Musab Abdul-Hakeem of Nur Ul Islam Academy took turns sharing their perspectives and answer-ing questions.Reading from the story of Abraham and Isaac from the book of Genesis, Rabbi Steinhardt offered a modern interpretation that placed the story in its historical context. “The

Jewish tradition is an in-terpreted tradition… it has developed and evolved new meanings over time,” he said. “We Christians, Jews, Muslims, we have the ability to change the past. We have to take our reli-gious traditions and allow them to speak to a differ-ent world where we aren’t going to see each other as enemies but see each other as brothers, not going to make each other the same but respect each other’s differences. For me this is a beautiful notion,” he said.Sheikh Abdul-Hakeem spoke of the similarities between religions. “As Muslims, we cannot consider ourselves believ-ers unless we believe in previous books, meaning the books of the prophets Moses, David and Jesus,” he said. “God sent different proph-ets to different times, to different nations, with the same message but differ-ent laws. And the basic message was, ‘You should have no other God but me.’”He condemned extrem-ists that interpret religious verses in order to deceive others. “The notion that Islam is spread by the sword is the wrong notion because you have the choice to believe

The Boca Raton Tribune COMMUNITY NEWS East/West Boca Raton, FL

BOCA RATON - Ten resi-dents at Edgewater Pointe Estates/ACTS Retirement-Life Community in Boca Raton are so committed to the students who serve them each evening in the dining room, that they have collected more than $16,000 to fund a scholar-ship program for student servers heading into local trade and technical two year educational programs. Herb and Gladys Jacob-son along with Dr. Shel-don and Nancy Taubman spearheaded the project in January of this year. The brick Pathway to Knowl-edge, located in the heart of the retirement commu-nity, was recently dedicat-ed during a special ribbon cutting ceremony. “The project never would have gotten off the ground without the hard work and wisdom of our finance and rules committee members William Alden, Janice Lannert, Elizabeth Taylor, Francis Hughes, Joan Liv-ingston, Chris Rosenbaum, Dr. and Nancy Taubman and my wife Gladys,” said Herb Jacobson, standing proudly on the engraved brick walkway overlook-ing the waterfall and me-ticulously landscaped gar-den. Guests of honor included Mr. and Mrs. David Welch who donated several bricks in thanksgiving and re-membrance of their mom Peg Hamilton. Others have followed suit, and resi-dents have begun to donate to the fund in lieu of giv-ing gifts to one another for special occasions and in memory of loved ones. Many of the student serv-

ers, ages 16-21 who work the 4 to 7 pm dinner shift, de-velop a special bond with the retirees. Often, residents, who range from inventors to CEOs to some who even sky dive at age 80, share business insight with these aspiring entrepreneurs between appetizers and dessert. The first scholarship is slated to be awarded this winter. “The hope is many more servers will receive the benefit for many years to come,” said Gladys Jacobson. Edgewater Pointe Estates is a faith-based, not-for-profit, fully accredited retirement community, primarily offering independent residences for seniors 62 and above. Guar-anteed access to assisted living and skilled care through ACTS life care program is available on campus.

Participants gathered to ask questions following the interfaith discussion.or disbelieve. It is not the will of God that all of us be along the same line. He gave us the freedom of choice,” Sheikh Abdul-Hakeem said.FAU students were eager to ask questions and pro-vide their own perspec-tives.Josh Steinfeld, 25, was prepared with several questions for the Sheikh. Steinfeld wanted to un-derstand the interpretive tradition of Islam and spe-cifically, why the Qur’an’s version of Abraham’s story

differs from the Torah’s.Jed Khazem, 16, discussed passion in Islam and how that passion can be mis-construed and used as passion of terror and hate. “We should focus on the core element of passion and how it should be used in a setting of love and un-derstanding,” he said.The community also took part in the discussion. Joe Ankus drove from Weston to take part in the event after watching a report on the news. “I thought it was a great idea,” he said.

During the Q&A session, two men, one a Jew and one Muslim, challenged Rabbi Steinhardt and Sheik Abdul-Hakeem to acknowledge the violence in their religions. Both men also agreed that re-ligion should move away from the literal interpre-tation of holy texts as the words of God.Lauren Heyman and Mona Hassan, presidents of the Jewish Student Union and the Muslim Student Or-ganization respectively, organized the event. They stayed after to answer questions from both re-porters and other students.Scott Brockman, execu-tive director of Hillel, ap-proached the two women with the idea for the event as they shared neighboring booths at a club fair two weeks earlier.“More conversations like this need to take place, and need to be presented in the media, and people need to see people talking to each other as opposed to yelling across the street from each other,” Brockman said.He encouraged the people gathered to continue hav-ing interfaith dialogues.“The students here, the power that you have is un-realized, the power that you have sitting here and what you can do together and what you can do for the community, there is unlim-ited potential, and you don’t realize how much you can change the world. Hopeful-ly this is the first step.”

Hurricanes have become second nature to Florida, just like earthquakes have to California and tornados to Middle America. But how much do we really know about these beastly natural disasters?You sit down to watch the news and the meteo-rologist says there’s ano-ther hurricane coming. It’s heading due West and the winds are picking up; all good things to know. But in that minute forecast, they have left you ques-tioning…What? Where? When? How? Why? If you ask someone where hurricanes come from, the most common an-swers you will probably receive are (1) Africa, (2) the Sahara Desert, or (3) the ocean near Africa. All these are typical miscon-ceptions.The Africans aren’t stan-ding on the border of the Atlantic blowing hurrica-nes in our direction. It’s a funny visual, but that’s not the case. Hurricanes actu-ally don’t come from Africa; but they do develop in certain lo-cations during the sea-son. Though there’s nothing concrete to say that they’re from the world’s second largest continent.

Hurricanes have become second nature to Florida

It actually takes a lot for a hurricane to form. In rea-lity, it needs just the right number of elements at the right time and place. The ocean has to be more than 80 degrees Fahrenheit; this is warm enough to allow the water to evaporate into the air, creating humid air and clouds.Although the Sahara Desert doesn’t create hurricanes, it still plays a role in formula-ting them. The temperatures of western North Africa get so hot that the air over this area rises and creates the Africa easterly jet.When these great swirling winds of the Sahara come in contact with the warm waters of the ocean, they start rotating around the center area of the low pres-sure over the ocean. The exchange of warm and cold air through the lower and upper atmospheres in the Atlantic starts to circu-late and create a funnel in the center of the storm

which is later called the eye of the hurricane.Because the Earth is constantly spinning, it makes winds in the north-ern hemisphere spin clock-wise while making winds in the southern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. This is called the Coriolis Effect which helps rotate the winds of the storm. With the elements of the warm ocean waters and the spin of the Earth com-bined with the dry desert winds and the warm moist Atlantic air; a hurricane is formed. As long as the hurricane remains over 80 degree or warmer water, it will continue to pull mois-ture from the ocean’s sur-face, enlarging in size and gaining force.

Hurricanes do not occur 300 miles from the equator due

to the Coriolis Effect.

Heller sculpts monument to Count and Countess de Hoernle

By Donovan Ortega

World-renowned sculptor Yaacov Heller has been commissioned to create a monument to commemo-rate the superior philan-thropic efforts of Boca Ra-ton’s most beloved couple, Count and Countess de Hoernle. “If anyone deserves a mo-nument, it’s Count and Countess de Hoernle,” said Yaacov Heller while walk-ing through Gallery 22, his fine art shop in Royal Palm Place. “Together, the two of them have really made a positive impact on this world, especially here in Boca Raton.”Along with her late husband, Countess de Hoernle’s name adorns over forty buildings in Palm Beach County. Her charitable contributions are immense, ranging a large gamut of interests, from hospitals to the arts. It’s one of the reasons that Heller is ecstatic about sculpting the couple’s likeness in bronze. “They were building homes in Haiti long before it was fashionable,” said Heller, who won’t even speculate on how many sculptures he’s been com-missioned to craft. Heller’s career has been long and successful, creat-ing pieces that have been

given to various American presidents and heads of state that include Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. But he seems to be taking a certain plea-sure in this creation be-cause of the friendship he has forged with the Count-ess. They met after he had created Flossy’s Fountain, a commissioned piece for Florence Keesely that stands in Mizner Park. “The Countess really

loved that fountain, I can remember her telling me how beautiful she thought it was,” remembered a sat-isfied Heller. Countess de Hoernle en-joyed the piece so much that she has since gone to Heller to create various pieces. One poignant ex-ample is a necklace that Heller made for Countess de Hoernle after her hus-band’s death. In this piece, the Countess compiled all

of the Count’s cufflinks, studs, pins, and rings and Heller made an impressive necklace dripping of pre-cious stones.“The Countess has been very hands on in the pro-cess of creating the statue,” said Heller while standing next to the large clay mold in Gallery 22. The mold has yet to be bronzed, but even in its incomplete form the sculp-ture is impressive. It is over 9 feet high and fea-tures the Countess and Count de Hoernle standing arm in arm while wearing their ceremonial medals and the countess’ signa-ture tiara. Together, they stare steadfastly into the distance. “The Countess loves the sculpture. She was here to look at it just a few weeks ago,” said Heller, “But just this morning she called me and expressed some concern that the back of the Count’s jacket was too wrinkled. She said that the Count’s clothes were al-ways neatly pressed.”Heller said that after the second mold was made, everything could be smoothed. “It will be like we sent the jacket to the cleaners,” joked Heller.

While that problem can be solved easily, what has become more troublesome is where the statue will eventually be placed. Its original home was to be at the Count de Hoernle Amphitheatre in Mizner Park. But since the City of Boca Raton has had to take over the operations of the facility, the final resting place of the statue has been questioned. “Part of my responsibility is placing the statue,” said Heller. “I’m going to do every-thing within my power to get it at the amphitheatre. It’s her statue, she should have it wherever she wants.”

Global beauty guru Nicky Kinnard has tips on solving skin problems

By Kay RenzSPEAKING OF STYLE

Beauty problem? Chances are Nicky Kinnard will know how to solve it! The Belfast-born cosmetic queen is internationally re-nowned for her Space NK stores, and this past month she opened her boutique inside Bloomingdales, Boca. Based upon the tradition-al European apothecary, Space NK provides highly trained experts who assess your skin and cosmetic needs and offer the best products across a plethora of lines - some very famil-iar names and others rare finds! I chatted with the jetsetter who is constantly in pur-suit of the best in beauty to learn more about her con-cept and the smartest ways to solve the most common skin problems!“At Space NK, I provide educators who offer unbi-ased opinions across multi-ple brands and varied price points,” she explained. In-deed that is true. And the price points run the gamut starting in the single dig-its; however, many of the choices are not necessarily the cheapest, as she seeks both value and effective-ness for the money.

So, let’s problem solve! Ahhh, the sun: our biggest beauty enemy. Living in South Florida we need to combat the dangerous ef-fects every day. To help us, Nicky recommends NIA

24, a complete line that of-fers a cleaner, scrub, eye cream, décolletage repair and more. Based upon the niacin molecule, this line has won a myriad of sun awards and according to Nicky provides amazing skin reparation. Look for their product with licorice root if you are seeking to fade sun spots. The weather will be chang-ing soon...we hope! And when it does shift from very humid days to dryer air, we will need to think about how our skin is cop-ing. Nicky loves P-Lipic by Bakel, which helps strengthen our skin mem-branes with its antioxidant rich formulas.Tired eyes? Nicky swears by the Zelens by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Marko Lens. The Intensive Triple Action Eye Cream has a gel/balm texture and promises to banish puffy eyes and dark circles with its mix of peptides and antioxidants. Another eye awakener? Touche Ve-loutee by Terry Cosmetics. Nicky told me it erases that fatigued look and she pan-ics if she is without it!For makeup, Nicky sees a trend toward sophisti-cation. We chatted about the influence the hit show, Mad Men. is having on both fashion and cosmet-ics. Channeling the late 50’s and early 60’s, the red lip is back in a big way. “Gloss seems so old now,”

she said. “There are so many fabulous reds. And the emphasis is really on the lips.” So what of our eyes? Nicky is stressing the eyebrow, with defini-tion being key. In addi-tion, smoky eyes are still in, but it’s brown hues that are doing the work, not the charcoals. She also loves a healthy flush of color on the cheeks to complete the look.Curious about what is re-ally best for you and been in a cosmetic rut too long? Then check out Space NK and discover a world of beautiful possibilities.

REBECCA REPORTSBy Rebecca Coleman

I heard young children sing “Happy Birthday” to Hen-rietta Countess de Hoernle twice on her 98th birthday last week. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house on both oc-casions. First was a celebration tea for the Countess hosted by one of her favorite non-profits, the Children’s Museum Boca Raton. It was a gathering of 200 close friends, adults and children, enjoying afternoon china tea under a dignified tent. The pastoral scene re-minded me of England ex-cept there if it would have been 50 degrees and raining. On a sultry Florida afternoon

in Boca it was a humid 90 degrees and counting. Proud museum director Poppi Mercier welcomed guests and thanked the Countess for years of support. The Countess made an emotional speech with her signature humorous en-ding, “Enjoy the tea and the humidity,’ she joked. Clustered under the canvas were Boca Deputy Mayor Susan Haynie County Com-missioner Steven Abrams, city events manager Em-ily Lilly and Fire Chief Tom Wood. The Countess’s good friends Flossy Keesely and

Rosemary and Ben Krieger were there; all three enthu-siastic ambassadors for this newspaper as well as many charities around town. Also spotted, Unicorn Founda-tion’s Juliette Ezagui who several days later hosted an elegant tea at her home to kick off Unicorn’s fundrai-sing season. Highlight of the tea was the unveiling of two bronze busts by master sculptor Yac-cov Heller, portraying the Count and Countess de Ho-ernle. Unveiling duties were carried out by two small children dressed in a formal

white party dress and minia-ture white tux! The busts will on exhibit at the Children’s Museum for all to see. At the close of the tea, the Countess was given a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” by 20 youngsters who afterwards lined up to give the Countess hand-made birthday cards.After the tea, it was time to change and head over to the March of Dimes Signature Chefs and Wine Extrava-ganza at the Boca Resort and Club, where the coun-tess was being honored. A huge crowd of over 600 filled the ballroom along with food from 31 local restaurants and an equally huge selection of wines. Congratulations to MOD Executive Director Shanna St. John and Event Chair Mitch Feldman, the CEO of West Boca Medi-cal Center. The event raised a whopping $169,000. A

big thanks also to top event sponsors Publix Super Mar-kets, Akerman Senterfitt and Total Wines.Once again the guest list was a Who’s Who of Boca. Gearing up for Breast Can-cer Awareness Month was Go Pink luncheon chair, Patti Carpenter and Think Pinks Rocks, PR Liz Kelley Grace. Palm Beach In-ternational Film Festival president Yvonne Boice was there with hus-band Al Zuccaro. Haven supporters Lynda Levitsky and Elaine Rus-sell took tables along with Iron-stone Bank’s Lisa lkan.The second “Happy Birth-day” of the day was sung by March of Dimes Ambas-sadors, three-year-old-twin

brothers, Dylan and Jordan Miller who were there with parents Ari and Melissa. Their rendition of Happy Birthday was therefore especially poi-gnant in view of the age dif-ference! Like I said, not a dry eye in the house.

And that is life in Boca… Rebecca

FOOD REVIEWBy Marc Kent

Marc Kent has reviewed restaurants from Key West to Orlando for the meeting planning industry since the 1980’s. His restaurant reviews for Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach and Delray Beach for over

forty establishments have been published to date. Locally, he selects the menus for several charity organizations including the Boca Delray Music Society’s venue at the Delray Beach Club and at

Benvenutos restaurant in addition to cooking for private functions.

Grand Lux Café at Town Cen-ter Mall (6000 Glades Road- 561-392-2141) in Boca Raton offers global cuisine all week from luncheon through the late night hours.From their spring/summer menu, we sampled duck tri-angles, fine crispy fried wrap-pers filled with minced duck, onions and garlic with ginger, soy and sesame. The crab and shrimp louie, with small tasty bites of seafood, was a bit overwhelmed by the shreds of lettuce, tomato and egg. Ahi tuna tostadas, raw ahi, mango, spicy soy, onion and ginger with cilantro and sesame was a treat as was the tender cala-mari with its warm marinara sauce.For things to share, try the double stuffed potato spring rolls consisting of mashed potatoes with green onion in a crispy Asian wrapper topped with melted cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, more green onions plus sour cream. Asian nachos, the fried wontons were covered with chicken in a sweet-hot peanut sauce. On this menu section, there are 18 more listings. For group dining order the grand appetizer platter, of six most popular items or enlarge it to nine items at a bit more cost.The Caesar small salad pre-sentation had whole romaine lettuce leaves with parmesan crisp chips and a dressing that was fairly light in taste and texture. Note there are seven additional small salads to chose from.Under the heading of comfort food we tasted tender braised Yankee pot roast with mashed potatoes, a mixed group of

vegetables and pan gravy - a terrific plate to try. Likewise, the chicken pot pie - enough for three or even four - was delicious with big chunks of chicken breast, carrots, peas, pearl onions and mushrooms in a cream sauce that wel-comed the pieces of the great homemade crust when it was broken and submerged. Com-fort food, indeed. P.S. There are five other listings in this section!The ten pasta and noodle i-tems are available including a nice, light fettuccini alfredo and a pasta with jumbo shrimp with oven dried tomatoes, ar-tichoke and either a tomato or lemon cream sauce.Spice lovers - there is an In-dochine shrimp and chicken-that’s a fusion of both Chinese and Indian flavors with jumbo shrimp, chicken, onions and sweet ginger sautéed in a sauce of curry, plum wine, a bit of cream topped with sun-dried cherries and apricots served with white rice. Quite a bit of a bite.Other 11 global cuisine lis-tings include a milder spice dish in the form of shaking beef, a combination of pieces of beef tenderloin plus red and green onions salted in a marinade and served with white rice. The grouping also features an Italian standard, done to perfection, in their veal saltimbocca - most tender large pieces of veal, prosciut-to, fontina cheese and fresh sage coated with parmesan bread crumbs and served with pasta and a great wine sauce. There may be none better!Of the nine fresh fish and seafood on the menu, the

wild salmon - miso glazed was sweet and delicate with steamed rice and stir fried vegetables - a large, wonder-ful portion.F.Y.I. Grand Lux has six steak dishes available, eight grand combination platters, ten ve-getable side dishes, eight piz-za choices plus a list of eigh-teen burgers and sandwiches.From the in house bakery, fourteen offerings tempt the diner. We were able to sam-ple tastes of five. The molten chocolate cake, rich with a flowing center and a scoop of vanilla ice cream pleased the chocoholics among us. Crème brulee arrived in two versions - classic vanilla and deep chocolate - both with the crunchy sugary top and both very fine. Warm rustic apple pie, a giant portion (a whole pie) topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel filled our senses with delight - as did both the key lime pie, well above par and the great roas-ted pineapple upside down cake. Several of the listed des-serts require 30 minutes notice as they are baked to order.Grand Lux features a late breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays until 2PM with a full menu of food and drink.With Grand Lux’s full bar, a creative roster of wines, cham-pagnes, cocktails and beers, it also offers daily drink specials. Seating inside for 400 and pa-tio seating for 75 diners, this global food emporium offers maximum selections of fine food in an attractive atmos-phere with attentive, know-ledgeable staff. Go and Enjoy!

AS SEEN BY FEENBy Diane Feen

We pass each other on the street or meet at parties or restaurant openings. Sometimes we sit next to each other at doctor’s of-fices or stand in line to-gether at the post office. We might notice what the other person is wearing or what their hairstyle looks like.But do we really see each other? Do we get a grasp of the person beyond the persona?I ask myself that often late-ly. Not because I need clar-ity on strangers or because I have suddenly taken to seeing beyond the physi-cal form. But because af-ter spending a week with strangers of great means (monetary) I noticed that no one seemed to see me. Yes, they saw the gray hair peeking out of my baseball cap and the lack of cellu-lite creeping up my thighs, but no one seemed inter-ested in finding out what was beyond the black tank suit I wore to swim class.There was conversation over lunch about alimony and trips to Egypt. There was banter about per-sonal chefs and famous relatives, but it seemed as though the social structure was built upon similarity. Those who were married to men of means spent time with others like them. There was a lot of chatter (let’s face it, these were women) but I wondered what the chatter was about. I rarely heard anything of

substance (other than what yoga class to take or calor-ic intake was best for the day).Because the group heard I was a journalist I was immediately typecast as a spy. Everyone became mute when I was around and looked at me as if I were an intruder in search of their innermost secrets to expose to the public. But they were wrong. The law-yers and judges, doctors and scientists didn’t seem to interest me at all. Their one dimensional perso-nas and lack of emotional depth left me contemplat-ing the snail that lives near my front door. It is him I wonder about. I wonder

why he is always sitting in the middle of my walkway. I wonder if he can see me or if he just sits there to get in my way (like an old boyfriend might).But at least my snail has a purpose. And up until a few weeks ago, I thought I did too. But it took me un-til I arrived at the Self Re-alization Fellowship Re-treat in Encinitas, Calif., to understand why I felt to foreign in my own coun-try. As I entered the private grounds of this spiritual re-treat site (across from the Pacific Ocean) someone gave me a warm engaging smile (silence is the pre-mium currency there).

In America, African-Ame-ricans were (and someti-mes still are) treated like second-class citizens.In Australia, it is the A-borigines, the indigenous people of the islands of Australia and New South Wales, who lived happily before the white Europe-ans came along and made life miserable for them.“Bran Neu Dae” is the modern Australian version of an American minstrel show, the minstrels being Aborigines.Set in the late 1960s, “Bran Neu Day (Brand New Day)

‘Bran Neu Day’ is a politically charged fable about Aborigines

is a politically charged fa-ble with music about an Aborigine boy who dares to stand up to the Colonial establishment. The story is adapted from the songs and stage act of an Aborig-inal band called Jimmy Chi and Knuckles and was fashioned into a screen-play by Chi, Reg Cribb, and Rachel Perkins, who also directs. The movie has elements of road trip, co-ming-of-age and rebellion in a Wizard of Oz kind of fashion.Willie (Rocky McKenzie) is a model son and student

who lives with his mother in the Outback in the tiny town of Brtoome. Willie has never met his father, who he has been told is dead.Willie is sweet on Rosie (Jessica Mauboy), a child-hood friend who has blos-somed into womanhood.Rosie is pretty and very good singer, which has attracted the attention of Lester (Dan Sultan), the egotistical leader of a band and the club he plays in.Willie is such a good stu-dent he has been accepted

Ah ha, I thought. That kind sweet smile from a total stranger was an affirmation that I existed. It was a nod that we were both human beings despite our prob-able differences in career goals or mortgage rates. It was then that I realized that many of my former spa mates were spiritually impoverished. They were

so used to gaining grati-fication from high profile careers (or husbands) that everyone else seemed be-neath them. They were all swimming in the shallow end of the psychic swim-ming pool. And why not? When ev-eryone is always telling you how wonderful you are you don’t need to de-

velop the depth of your character (or your spiritual side). And that’s OK - be-cause in this time of so-ciological and political up-heaval the debate seems to focus on our differences, not our similarities. But in the end we are all the same. We may not watch the same TV shows or eat at similar restau-rants, but ultimately we all want to be loved, to be seen and to be heard. And not because of what we have accomplished in the courtroom or because of the man we married, but because it is our birthright as human beings. If you want to experience the depths of your being or want to take a spiritual pilgrimage - check out Self Realization Fellowship Retreat, 760-753-2888. They have a few locations.

Dear Mary: I am sche-duled to move into a one-bedroom apartment, which is much smaller than where I live now. I don’t know where to start. I’ve read a lot of guides, but there are no detailed, step-by-step, simple and easy instruc-tional guides for getting all of my stuff into boxes and protecting my furni-ture simply and cheaply. Luckily, I’m only moving a few miles, but I never have had to move before, and this is overwhelming. Do you have any advice for me? Jeff

Dear Jeff: Make a deci-sion that you will not mo-ve one thing that you do not use on a regular basis or that doesn’t bring beau-ty to your life. Get rid of everything else by holding a garage sale, posting to Craigslist and The Freecy-cle Network (while you’re at these websites, see whether you can find mo-ving boxes that someone is trying to get rid of) or filling a trash bin. Then set the day. Borrow a truck. Engage your friends to help, and load it up. Happy trails!

Dear Mary: I have large balances on two of my credit cards. How can I ne-go-tiate my balances and

Purge, Pack and Call Your Friendsfees down? - Luevelle C.

Dear Luevelle: If some-one who owed you money came to you to negotiate a lower amount, how would you react? I doubt whether you would be all that wil-ling to cooperate, and I sure wouldn’t blame you. Look, you borrowed the money (that’s what you do when you use a credit card), and now you are try-ing to figure out how not to repay what you borrowed? Whenever I hear commer-cials that imply that the credit card companies and banks are greedy, it sets my teeth on edge. You must not have thought of them as greedy when you accepted their money and terms. Now you have an obligation to pay it back. If you truly cannot, then that’s something different. Other-wise, it seems to me that you should do the honor-able thing and repay these debts, including the fees, as soon as possible.

Dear Mary: I recall you said that you use all-white linens. How do you keep them white? I have some whites, and they turn grayish with time. If I use bleach, my linens deterio-rate quickly. I like white towels and sheets, but I just don’t know how to

clean them well. - Zarina,

Dear Zarina: I am a fana-tic when it comes to bright white towels and sheets. I separate white towels and sheets from colors and wash them in the hottest water my water heater will produce, along with deter-gent. Once a month, I add 1/2 cup of liquid chlorine bleach to the wash cycle of all of my white loads that week, followed by an ex-tra rinse cycle. (I do have a large-capacity washer, so I would adjust the bleach accordingly for a smaller machine.) I am not con-vinced that this small a-mount of bleach shortens the life of my white linens. But if it does, I’m more than willing to give up a few months of useful life on the back end to enjoy whites that are not dingy.

Now if losing weight is not important to you - that’s OK with me - I’m only talking to the ones who WANT to lose weight! My friends come in all shapes and sizes and I love every one of them. So often an “expert” will tell you what you MUST do…I only explain why it’s best for your long range healthy life… and tell you also that you most certainly can lose weight IF it’s most important to you. Some people pretend it isn’t.First of all, forget about diet books and structured diets. If you find one that works, you’re lucky. Most often they merely serve as a tempo-rary crutch that people revert from. The high recidivism rate among dieters is well docu-mented. Next, you must realize this is a job for you and you alone... and that no diet book, or per-son, can be responsible for YOUR weight loss. If you’re not serious about it, read no further, but, if you are, consider what I’m about to say; it could forever change your life for the better. About 25 years ago a major publisher that I was already in the middle of writing a book for asked me to write a diet book next. They said I must be an expert on the subject since I was able to keep my-self slim all my life, and, if I would share my methods, they thought it would be a hot seller. I snapped back and asked them if they thought they could sell a one page diet book…because all I had to say on the subject goes like this: “Take charge of your life…just eat less…if THAT

doesn’t work…eat less!”Needless to say they withdrew the offer!You KNOW that you’re gain-ing weight or eating too much when your clothes begin to tighten up a little. At that point, you have two choices…I don’t really need to tell you, but I will anyway! Cut back on your food intake so you can fit into that favorite gar-ment again OR go out and buy the next size up. We all have the same choices. Of course, the correct one is just eat less. That’s all I do. I check the fit whenever I put my favorite jeans on, and then do what I have to do. What does it mean Just Eat Less…less than what?This is important. The answer is very personal. For example, if YOU are putting 3 table-spoons of mashed potatoes on your plate…put 2 only. If after a couple of weeks you are not losing the expected pounds, start putting only 1 ta-blespoon on your plate. Carry this through with everything you eat. Believe me nothing will happen to you with less food…only that your stomach will shrink and be less and less demanding as time goes on. Check Your Mind Set….Here’s The DealYou can ONLY rely on your-self..it’s YOUR body, it’s YOUR brain and it’s YOUR arm that keeps going up and down putting food in your mouth. You already KNOW what to do…you just don’t want to do it…right? I don’t mean to sound mean - this is how I have lived keeping my weight down. I’m just trying

to show that you don’t need anyone’s book or special food buying or any other gimmick to get the pounds off…Check Your Mind Set and go for it on your own…just eat less. You might just add many more healthy years to your life span and feel better along the way. Here Are a Few Tips To Help Get You Started* When you sit down at the table change your image of the food on the plate. See it, not as a full plate of food, but rather as “small bits” to be eaten one bite at a time, slowly….no slower!! Put your fork down after each bite and take the time to enjoy the flavor and sensation of the food. Rush-ing, even a snack, doesn’t give your brain enough time to recognize when your stomach is full. Taking your time will cause you to feel more full with less food, and will also lighten the load on your diges-tive system. * Don’t believe “experts” who say you need a big breakfast when on a diet. The more you eat, the more you want to eat. Unless you are a school child, satisfy morning hunger with a small breakfast, then, if neces-sary, have a tiny snack at mid-morning. It’s better to eat five small meals (or snacks) a day than three big ones. We do not need 3 big meals a day! * Use a luncheon plate at all meals rather than a larger din-ner plate. You’ll clean your plate with less food. I hope you will give it a try - just eating less means you don’t have to give up your fa-vorite foods!! Now THAT is something. - Until next time, Love, Oleda

Barry Epstein, APR, is a noted public relations, marketing and political consultant based in Boca Raton, and is president of the West Boca Chamber of Commerce (www.westbocachamber.com).

What makes a salesperson successful? Not every per-son is cut out to be a suc-cessful salesperson. Some people simply do not have the right combination of character traits and behav-ior patterns, without which a career in sales would pose only frustrations, anxiety, and a lack of fulfillment. However, for those with the right chemistry, the op-portunities for job satisfac-tion and personal growth in sales are unlimited. To be successful, a sales-person should possess, or be able to adopt, a set of essential characteristics and behavioral patterns. Many of these character-istics can be cultivated and refined by conscientious application in on-the-job training. Even a topnotch salesperson or manager is constantly perfecting her or his technique and evalu-ating their performance. In my experience I have found that successful sales-people have a combination of the following qualities:Empathy – Do you often find yourself adjusting to another person’s moods and behavior, modifying your own position to ac-commodate another view-point? Or, do you find it difficult to anticipate an-other person’s actions or to accept an opinion which is in conflict with your own? We define empathy as, “listening to another person attentively and un-derstanding their thoughts,

Are the right people selling?emotions and feelings, and adjusting your own moods and behavior accordingly,” (Sherman&Hertz). This is not to be misconstrued as sympathy. If the salesper-son can elicit the needs of the customer, she or he can deal with those needs real-istically. Empathy is one of the most important keys to successful selling.Ego drive - When a client turns you down do you feel angered, dismiss the failure with a shrug of the shoulder or are you driven to over-come the obstacles to your success? A professional salesperson is success driv-en – in a controlled way. She or he bounces back quickly from the failure and looks forward to the next sales presentation as an opportunity to restore self confidence to make up for the past shortcomings. We can say that ego drive pushes the salesperson for constant achievement and self-fulfillment. Integrity Integrity carries a very special meaning in the business world; it defines one’s character and repu-tation in the marketplace, forms the backbone of that person’s credibility, and is a major factor in gaining the trust and admiration of all who you work with. Integrity in the business world is simply describing things as they are and mak-ing commitments stand. What you say is what you do. You are judged on your accomplishments and

whether you live up to your promises. Creativity - Although it doesn’t seem like a trait that would make for an ef-fective salesperson, it is important because it devel-ops your own style of sell-ing. Do you do things in an unquestioning manner, ac-cepting a course of action because, “that’s the way it’s always done it?” Or, do you perceive the way a situation is being handled, and ask yourself, “How can I do it better?”Emotional maturity - The buying and selling process is an emotional one. Do you get carried away with your emotions under stress or in the throes of a difficult decision or are you able to accept strain and conflict as a normal part of your working day? Clients are frequently and understand-ably insecure about mak-ing their decisions. When a client says something that annoys you, don’t take it personally. Internalizing and reacting to negative comments is a sign of im-maturity and there is no room for this in the sales arena. Sellers do not have the luxury of overreacting.Consider the above criteria and you will know if you are the right person for a career in selling.Excerpts from the book, Womanpower in Textile & Apparel Sales, Jerry Sher-man & Eric Hertz, Fair-child Publications, New York.

In Timothy McCarthy’s long career in real estate, he’s bought, sold, and re-financed over 400 million dollars worth of property. While he readily admits this is a difficult time for property owners, he has continued to find ways to put money into his cli-ent’s pocket and give them peace of mind.“There are options avail-able for the troubled home owner,” said McCarthy. “Even when it feels like the walls of finance are closing in and foreclosure looks imminent, we have options.”One of these options is the “short sale”. A “short sale” is a real estate transaction in which the sale proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property’s loan.“It’s a no brainer,” said McCarthy. “Rather than going into a complicated, hectic, and harmful home foreclosure, short sales are a simple alternative with huge benefits.”As a favor to the Boca Ra-ton Tribune, McCarthy de-veloped a list of benefits of the “short sale.”Contact Timothy McCar-thy at (954) 439-1442, timcashnow.com, or email him at [email protected] 10 Reasons to Short Sale Your HomeShort Sales...

period of seven to ten years and drop your score by 300 points. This makes it nearly impos-sible to get a loan, a new credit card, and certainly a new house.2. Save FaceNo one wants to admit that they could not afford to keep their home. By doing a short sale, you can be spared this embarrassment.3. Keep Your Banking Reputation IntactForeclosure can make it difficult to keep a checking account, as well as your bank credit cards. With a short sale, your bank will have no reason to take re-course against you.4. Allow you to buy a home more quicklyInstead of having to wait seven to ten years to pur-chase a home after a fore-closure, with a short sale, you can begin the process almost immediately.5. Make it easier to Get a Federal LoanIn some cases, you may be able to purchase a new home right away, even af-ter a short sale. For exam-ple, Fannie Mae, a federal lender, may offer a new home loan right away to buyers with a short sale on their credit.6. Grant Tax BenefitsIn order to help homeown-ers, the IRS is offering help for those who decided to go with a short sale rath-er than a foreclosure. You

may not have to pay tax on the forgiven amount of the sale, which may essen-tially save you thousands of dollars.7. Get Rid of StressHome foreclosure is in-credibly stressful. With a short sale you evade the anxiety of that complicat-ed process.8. Free up EquityEven though you may lose some money in the deal, you will not be saddled with a home where you owe more than the house is actually worth.9. Make you more em-ployable.As more employers rely on credit reports for hir-ing practices, it is best to do all you can to avoid a foreclosure.10. Allow for Better Inter-est Rates on LoansBy avoiding a foreclosure, you are in a much better position at securing lower rates on future loans.

Michael H. Gora has been certified by the Board of Specialization of The Florida Bar as a specialist in family and matrimonial law.

Few thoughts have more pro-found moral, spiritual and ethical consequences than God and creation. Chica-go philosopher and director of the Institute for Philo-sophical Research, Mortimer Adler agrees, “More conse-quences for thought and ac-tion follow the affirmation or denial of God than from answering any other basic question.” (Mortimer Adler Great Books of the Wes-tern World, ed. Robert M. Hutchins; Chicago: Ency-clopedia Britannica, 1955), 2.561.Secular culture has at the very least dismissed God as irrelevant to our existence or at its most extreme ex-trapolation, killed Him. In fact, a prominent evolution-ist named William Provine of Cornell University, was very clear in pointing out the implications of Darwinism. If Darwinism is true, he said, then there are five inescap-able conclusions: 1.There’s no evidence for God. 2. There’s no life after death. 3. There’s no absolute foun-dation for right and wrong. 4. There’s no ultimate mea-ning for life. 5. People don’t really have free will. As Time magazine put it: “Charles Darwin didn’t want to murder God, as he once put it. But he did.” Although the subject of God may appear to be simple on the surface, it is an extreme-ly profound matter. God is not a secondary but a prima-ry factor. If God is the cause

Consequences of Godof the universe, he must be beyond and greater than the physical dimension, just as a car-maker is greater than the car. It is obvious we cannot examine God in a test tube, but that does not mean that there is no evidence of God. We can say with equal em-phasis that we cannot prove Napoleon or Lincoln by the scientific method. In order for something to be proved by the scientific method it must be repeatable. History, by its very nature is non-re-peatable. Nevertheless, be-cause historical event cannot be proved by repetition does not disprove their reality as events.The scientific method is useful in measuring mate-rial things. No one has ever seen three feet of love or six pounds of justice, but we would be foolish to de-ny their reality. Someone has said, “to insist that God be proved by the scientific method is like insisting that a telephone be used to measure radioacti-vity.”

There is a clear fact: Scrip-ture declares throughout its pages that God created the universe...“In the beginning God crea-ted the heavens and the earth...God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” (Genesis 1:1, 31)“You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them.

You give life to everything, and the multitudes of hea-ven worship you.” (Nehe-miah 9:6)“How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you ma-de them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures be-yond number-living things both large and small.” (Psalm 104:24-25)“Through him all things we-re made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:3)[Christ] “is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over all creation. For by him all things were cre-ated: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.” (Colossians 1:15-16)“In these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.” (He-brews 1:2)Is it reasonable to believe in God, or must I commit intel-lectual suicide? Is the only evidence for God religious experience or psychological projection or are there pro-found logical arguments that need to be carefully con-sidered? Over the next few weeks we will consider a few...perhaps you may con-clude with Albert Einstein “The mathematical precision of the universe reveals the mathematical mind of God.”

Winning appeal of trial court judge’s decision in divorce

case is no easy taskQ. My husband and I used to have a lot more money then we do now. After a year of litigation, and a two-week trial, we have spent about two million dollars on lawyers, accoun-tants and psychologists in our divorce case. The trial was over two months ago and we still do not have a decision from the judge. At the end of the trial which covered a custody fight, a fight over what assets were marital and what weren’t, a fight over the value of my husband’s world hotel chain, and my request for particular items in distri-bution of property, includ-ing our home, which my husband also wants, the judge asked both attorneys to submit a proposed judg-ment. Both attorneys sent in proposals over a month ago.My lawyer told me that he could not predict the out-come on most of the im-portant issues. Many ques-tions boil down to whom the judge believed: me or my husband, my accoun-tant or his accountant, my

psychologist or his psy-chologist, etc. My lawyer also told me that while I have a right to appeal any of the judge’s decisions, the appellate court is limited on the grounds for over-turning a trial judge’s deci-sion. Can you explain that for me? A. A very small percentage of appeals are successful because trial judges are giv-en broad discretion under most circumstances. For instance, judicial decisions regarding the credibility of witnesses cannot usually be overturned. According to our jurisprudence, trial judges are in a much better position to determine cred-itability than are appellate judges because they have seen the witnesses in per-son, and can consider their demeanor.Discretion in decisions would include the amount of alimony to award, as alimony is not governed by a schedule, as is child sup-port. However, there are many decisions overturn-ing alimony awards as too high or two low, based on

the principle that such an award should not impover-ish either party. Therefore, there is a limit to judicial discretion, which can form the basis for overturning a trial judge.Other times trial judge de-cisions are just wrong, as a matter of law. For instance, in valuation questions the judge has the right to ac-cept the testimony of one expert or the other, or nei-ther, but cannot insert his or her own opinion of value, or average the opinions of the experts. Judges are often over-turned, although they may have made a correct deci-sion, because they did not make certain findings of fact required the statutes and case law to show the appellate court exactly how the decision was reached. The basic prem-ise in the appellate court is that the trial court’s de-cision arrives there with a presumption of correct-ness, which must be over-turned in order to have a successful appeal.

My friend, Tom

I want to share an interes-ting and fascinating story with you. I have a client who is a very successful entrepreneur. I’ll just call him Tom.Tom develops and sells li-censed toys, action figures and games based on popu-lar stars - singers, actors, sports personalities, car-toon characters, etc. Tom has a knack for spot-ting talent early, figuring out what toy concepts will sell well, and manufactu-ring and delivering these products to stores just as fan-craze hits its peak. And he makes a lot of money doing so.

Tom’s most recent dealRecently, Tom spotted so-meone right on the cusp of becoming a star. Through his contacts, he found out that a well known Holly-wood agency was handling licensing for this star - basi-cally a negotiated contract to develop and sell prod-ucts with revenue sharing, licensing fees, et cetera. Tom initiated licensing dis-cussions with the agency. He learnt that he was not the sole bidder, that an-other, larger company was also bidding, and what their higher bid was. Tom went back, did his homework and told the agency that he could not match the highest

TOY STORYbid, and that the larger bid-der would likely outsource work to someone like him.Instead, Tom submitted a lower bid but one that would make more money for the star through shared profits over time, and by cutting out any third party.

A twist in the plotAfter delivering his pro-posal, Tom didn’t just wait but got on with preparing for the project in the event that he won so he could capitalize on the upcoming Christmas season.He also happened to go to Las Vegas for a toy conven-tion. At a convention cock-tail party, Tom bumped into an old business associate, and here’s where things got interes-ting. In sharing notes, Tom’s old colleague mentioned that he was handling licen-sing for so-and-so - turns out, the very same star that Tom delivered a bid for. Baffled, Tom called the Hollywood agency for clarification. The agency confirmed that Tom’s old colleague had the license but was going to lose it in a month, and agreed to let Tom send the bid proposal to his old col-league nonetheless.As time clicked on, nego-tiations with his old col-league intensified. Then, on one of his trips to Hong Kong where Tom does his manufacturing, he checked

his email and learned that he’d won the deal… yaay!

The lesson hereThere are two critical ele-ments in life – luck and preparation – and this story brings those two points together in a crystal clear manner. After listening to this story, I was thinking in amaze-ment… what if Tom had skipped the cocktail party that evening? Or what if they just missed each other in the crowd? Tom would have totally lost the deal because the Hollywood agency wasn’t even han-dling it at the time. Talk about luck!But there’s another element to this story: preparation. After submitting his bid, Tom spent some of his own money and got busy cre-ating the line, just in case he won. After he won, he hopped on a plane to Ben-tonville, Arkansas, to meet Wal-Mart, then to Target in Minneapolis, and so on. Tom’s preparedness paid off and within a week, he sold out his entire planned inventory.So, while luck is very im-portant, it takes experience, the right attitude, persis-tence, patience, preparation and focus to consistently win. And this is a lesson that we can all apply to suc-ceed in the various aspects of our lives.

Dear Dr. Man, I’m sick of having sagging breasts. I really want a breast lift. I’m done having kids. I’m in a good financial way and I really want to look sexy again. Can I get im-plants at the same time I get a breast lift?

Answer: Many women li-ke yourself desire a mas-topexy because pregnancy and nursing have left them with stretched skin and less volume in their breasts. Other factors such as age and the force of gravi-ty can also take their toll on a woman’s breasts. The skin loses its elasticity, the breasts lose their shape, and they begin to sag. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a sur-gical procedure used to raise and reshape sagging breasts. A breast lift repo-sitions the breasts into a desired position and gives

Mastopexy can solve problem of sagging breasts

a more pleasing contour and shape. A breast lift can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin sur-rounding the nipple.A mastopexy can be done in conjunction with breast augmentation for women who have small breasts or have lost breast volume (due to age, pregnancy, or other factors). To achieve this, breast im-plants are inserted during the mastopexy to increase both breast firmness and size. Breasts of any size can be lifted and enhanced, but please note that results may not last as long for heavy breasts.Anyone planning to have more children should post-pone a breast lift: while there are no special risks that will affect future pregnancies (for one, mas-topexy usually does not interfere with breast fee-

ding), pregnancy is likely to stretch the breasts again and offset the results of the procedure.During the procedure, the surgeon will mark the areas of skin that will be removed above and below the areo-la. The nipple will then be moved to a new, higher position while the excess skin above and below the nipple is removed and the breast reshaped. The pro-cedure takes approximate-ly two to four hours and is performed in an outpatient surgery facility.As with any surgery, there are some risks involved with a breast uplift; these risks can be increased when combined with breast im-plants. These issues should be clarified during your consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you.

DOG TALK WITH UNCLE MATTY

Remember that classic scene from “A Few Good Men,” the one that featured Jack Nicholson, decked out in full military regalia, on the witness stand, puffing his chest and bellowing, “You can’t handle the truth”? Well, there are times when I can relate. Take the follow-ing letter from a reader:“I have two dogs: a lab-pit mix I raised from 8 weeks old who has no problems with other dogs or people, and Augie, a German shep-herd I picked up at 4 months of age who I believe was subjected to some abuse be-fore I got him.“Augie weighs 95 pounds and has an aggressive per-sonality. I’ve studied and tried all of the aggressive dog tests on your website, and he does not seem to fit any of them. He is not ob-ject- or food-possessive. The closest would be dom-inant-aggressive. However, he does not challenge or fear me in any way I can mea-sure using your tests. “He can be aggressive with strangers, but will back off at the command ‘no’ from me or even from them. I can put him on his side in a park full of active strangers, and as long as no one gets too close, he will stay down un-til I give him the command

The Truth About Aggressive Dogs

to get up. “I once dog-sat a friend’s small dog, and Augie was very aggressive in his re-action to the other dog the first day. After 24 hours, I was able to let the two dogs meet and interact. By the end of that day, they were fast friends playing like puppies. Augie isn’t mean; he’s just not socialized and may be fear-aggressive with other dogs.“At home, there are no prob-lems. Both of my dogs walk without pulling and heel on leash. We walk through the park for about 40 minutes nearly every day. When walking in the park, both dogs are fine except when another dog appears. If the strange dog is closer than 50 feet, Augie goes into ag-gressive bark mode. I’ve tried a couple of the ‘wrong’ methods to resolve this problem and failed due to his complete focus on the other dogs. Based on an Uncle Matty PBS segment, I’ve lately been using a mis-ter bottle with plain water to distract him and get his fo-cus off the other dog. Once I get his focus on me, he almost always listens -- but not if the other dog is also aggressive. He understands and obeys the basic com-mands as long as there isn’t

something significant dis-tracting him. “I believe that with bet-ter training and the correct muzzle and halter I could eventually work with him in areas where lots of other dogs and people are active and get him successfully socialized. I’d like some advice on methods of train-ing and the optimal tools for control when socializing him.”The world is full of distrac-tions, and this country alone is populated with millions of strangers. If Augie’s daily life is going to include walks in the park and exposure to other public places, profes-sional training is a must. Right now, he’s a 95-pound ticking time bomb; not a bad dog, but an aggressive dog. And an inadequately trained aggressive dog is a dangerous dog, unfit for any public arena. The fact that Augie will only listen when there are no ex-ternal distractions means he requires additional train-ing. A trained dog listens and obeys. Period. A dog that will only listen under certain ideal circumstances determined by him is not a trained dog.Augie’s owner used the word “aggressive” to de-scribe Augie seven times in as many paragraphs. But he wasn’t about to hear it from me. We spoke on the phone, and I hope he takes my ad-vice to hire a professional trainer. His heart is in the right place, but sometimes too much heart is the prob-lem. Right now, he’s in the emotionality business. And I, like Jack, am firmly rooted in the reality business. Woof!

PEANUT

Peanut is a 2 year old York-shire terrier he is fun, lov-ing, clumsy, messy, ener-getic, and a troublemaker. He is always on guard look-

ing out the window to see if anyone’s coming. He is a lot of fun to play with he is a nice loving cuddly dog. He ran away a lot when he

was little, but just the other day he learned how to come back when called. Peanut always gets into clothes and takes everything he can find to destroy it. Sometimes he can be a cuddly and fun dog who sleeps in your lap and keeps you company. If you wake up in the middle of the night for something, you can be sure he’s right next to you. When we take him to the dog park you would think he would play with other dogs his size, but he only goes to the big-ger dogs. Peanut is a joy to have, we love the fact he is our dog. Love, The Pereira family .

Having had a bye week in-between games, all eyes were on this week’s game against district rival, Hal-landale.Tough opponents like Hal-landale call for consistent play with up-tempo energy from beginning to end, but this time the Lions came out flat. The Chargers be-gan with an opening drive that resulted in a touch-down; a punch in the stomach that should have been a wake-up call for the Lions.Another touchdown fol-lowed, but the two-point

Lions Come Out Flat, Suffer First Loss Of the Seasonconversion was missed, giving the Chargers a 12 to 0 lead. Right before the half ended, the Lions sud-denly came through: Matt Kelly threw a touchdown with triple zeros on the clock. Little did we know that this would be the only score for the Lions all game.Overall, the offense was not its usual, power-foot-ball self. Hallandale had clearly taken note of the Lions’ dominant run-game, and had planned accord-ingly. Third downs were a problem, and false starts and turnovers threw off the rhythm for the Lions, who

suffered a season low of 7 points. The defense stepped up after halftime, however, which at least allowed the team to hang on.In the fourth quarter, a su-re fire INT was dropped. This could have been the miracle that all were pray-ing for: the turnover would have given the Lions the ball, down just 12 to 7, with over two minutes to work with. Unfortunately, the drop led to a rushing touchdown by the Char-gers; a stab to the heart that finally killed all hope for a roaring comeback. Game over, 18 to 7: the first loss of the season.

When the players see the game film they will real-ize that a “W” was well in reach throughout, and that they defeated themselves with mental mistakes. They could have taken this game by storm, along with a 1-0 record in district play. Ho-pefully the team can put this loss behind them and use it as motivation for the remainder of the season.The Lions’ next game is on October 1 against cross town rival, Boca High.

Men on the Hot Seat: Mario Chalmers and Eric

Spolestra“The point guard job is mine to lose” said Chalm-ers to the media. He has never been so right, after a subpar sophomore cam-paign, Chalmers is hoping to build on the success of the retooled Miami Heat and become the next great Miami Heat point guard. But, if he has another sub-par season, instead of see-ing a lot of playing time, Chalmers will see most of the games from the bench with Arroyo, House, and even LeBron running the pointThird-year head coach Eric Spolestra has the most im-portant season of his short career this season. Can he manage all the egos in this team and make them sync into his program? Can

he take this HEAT team past the first round of the playoffs? Will he even be around for the playoffs if he can’t guide this super-team to a winning record by the All-Star break? Re-member, Pat Riley has ev-ery reason to come back to the sidelines to coach the team he put together. If by the All-Star break Spo’s HEAT is barely above the .500 mark, except him to step down and let the God-father take over yet again.Biggest Question: Can LeBron lose his pride and be second best to Dwyane Wade?To be honest, this ques-tion can go three-ways. Can Bosh be okay with being the third best player in the team? Can Wade be okay with not taking all the shots? It’s a very delicate situation and there’s a very fine line between greatness, and failure. By no means,

Miami Heat Season Preview

don’t get me wrong, this team will be great, but the first year will be one of those “feeling each other out” kind of things. Not only for LeBron, Bosh, and Wade, but for this en-tire Miami HEAT team that only have seven players from last season, and only two left from the champi-onship season.2010/11 Record: 64-18 (1st seed in the East, 1st in the southeast division)I’m going out on a limb here and say the HEAT are going to win 64 games. Yes a crazy number, but if you think about it, it’s a very reachable goal. And if Jeff Van Gundy thinks they can beat the Bulls record, why can’t we go 64-18 our first season?Playoffs Prediction: Elimi-nated in the NBA Finals by the Los Angeles Lakers (4-3)





I t seems the Miami Dolphins weren’t finished shaking up the tight end position when they

waived John Nalbone and promoted Jeron Mastrud earlier this week.Aaron Wilson of the Na-tional Football Post re-ported on Twitter that the Dolphins claimed tight end Mickey Shuler off waivers from the Minnesota Vi-kings on Thursday.Shuler’s addition gives the Dolphins a full 53-man ac-tive roster, and three tight ends for the first time all season.

BackgroundMickey Shuler, Jr. is the son of former NFL tight end Mickey Shuler, who earned two Pro Bowl selec-tions over a 14-year career with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles.A four-year letterman at Penn State, the younger Shuler totaled 27 recep-tions, 300 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in four seasons as a blocking

tight end to complement Nittany Lions starter An-drew Quarless.Shuler was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the seventh round (214th over-all) of the 2010 NFL Draft - two rounds after Quar-less went to the Green Bay Packers.After signing a four-year, $1.85 million contract with the Vikings that in-cluded a $60,000 signing bonus, Shuler appeared in all four preseason games and caught one pass for two yards and a touch-down.Shuler made the Vikings’ 53-man roster following the preseason, but was in-active during the team’s first two regular season games - losses to the New Orleans Saints and the Dolphins.The Vikings waived Shuler on Sept. 22 to make room for newly-signed wide re-ceiver Hank Baskett, who had recently been let go by the Eagles.Because the Dolphins claimed Shuler off waiv-

ers, they will inherit his original four-year contract that he signed with the Vi-kings in the offseason.

AnalysisThe Dolphins are bring-ing in all the young bod-ies they can at tight end in search of a diamond in the rough, with rookies Mas-trud and Shuler the active roster and Dedrick Epps on the practice squad.Shuler obviously comes from a quality football pedigree, playing the same position and coming from the same alma mater as his Pro Bowl father.Widely regarded as one of the best blocking tight ends in the 2010 draft class, Shuler possesses great fundamentals in that department and brings a hard-working attitude to the craft.Shuler is also a bit of an underrated athlete, post-ing a 4.63-second 40-yard dash time as Penn State’s Pro Day before the draft.He might never become what his father was, but Shuler is a solid tight end prospect and is a nice ad-dition for a Dolphins team looking for depth behind starter Anthony Fasano.Mastrud looks to be the No. 2 tight end this Sunday against the Jets because of his better experience in the Dolphins’ offense, but Shuler is the better pros-pect and will be someone to keep an eye on as he pushes for playing time in the coming weeks.

Marlins Financial Documents RevealedBy: Matt Bluesten

What exactly do Florida Marlins executives Jef-frey Loria and David Sampson represent? To me, they don’t represent Marlins baseball. Holding back cash while the city of Miami pays for most of a new Marlins stadium isn’t the baseball spirit. The bottom-line is, Loria and Sampson must be held ac-countable for their actions. Otherwise, they look like unscrupulous businessmen - and that’s not what Mar-lins baseball is. They misled the general public into believing they didn’t have the necessary funds to build a new ball-park. In a nutshell, they withheld this necessary information from the city of Miami. The organiza-tion took a healthy chunk of MLB-distributed mon-ey for profit. Therefore, Jeffrey Loria and David Sampson haven’t dis-closed the organization’s full financial situation. Documents show that the Marlins could have paid a significant amount for the new stadium’s construc-tion. They have even been turning an operating profit. This is despite the fact that Loria and Sampson have been crying poverty for years. The Marlins are not strug-gling financially based on any stretch of the imagina-tion. They have been mak-ing profits and stuffing revenue sharing money into their pockets. Revenue sharing money is supposed to be used to-

ward signing players and increasing payroll, not for making a team’s owner wealthier. Where are the repercussions and con-sequences? Why doesn’t MLB step in and stop this? They must be forced to change the way they do business. However, as far as the ballpark issue is con-cerned, it is too late now. Amazingly, they were able to pull off a deal where they would ultimately only be required to pay $155 million of the $634 million for the stadium complex. Talk about getting away with highway robbery!Loria and Sampson held the city of Miami at bay until they got what they wanted. The city was pet-rified of losing a team. The Marlins ownership took advantage of this fear. To me, it seems as if Loria and Sampson don’t really care about the fans or win-ning baseball games. All they cared about was their bottom-line and increasing profits. In 2009, the Marlins had an operating income of $11.1 million. Guess what the Marlins owner decided to do? The team decided

it was a good idea not to talk about the $48.9 mil-lion in profits over the last two years. The reason why the team decided to do this was because they knew if the county commissioners discovered the undisclosed cash, the Marlins would be asked to provide more funding. The fact is, the Marlins could have invested a lot more dough into the new ballpark. Evidently, Loria and Sampson are both ex-cellent at moving money around. They don’t really know how to do anything else.Most importantly, the money could have gone toward education and it could have been used to save at least 1,200 jobs in Miami-Dade County.Sampson must have been kidding when he called the leak of the Marlins financial documents and the five other MLB teams’ financial documents that were leaked “a crime”. Are you kidding me, Sampson? Marlins fans and local tax-payers are smart enough to know what the truth is.

BOCA RATON - Are you ready for some football? Local football, that is.Fans of the Florida Atlantic University Fighting Owls football team are pumped up today about a ruling from the Florida Board of Governors.

The Owls fell 21-17 de-spite a late fourth quarter rally Saturday night in Lockhardt Stadium to the North Texas Mean Green. Starting off the game right, the Owls marched down the field to take the lead first with an Alfred Mor-ris rushing touchdown. The Mean Green answered with a pass from quarter-

The third quarter was all Mean Green as they built their lead to 21-10. Riley Dodge would finish with 213 to-tal yards and two touch-downs. Late in the fourth quarter the Owls would finally make things inter-esting. Behind quarterback Jeff Vancamp’s 273 yards he would throw a touch-down to tight-end Rob Houser with 6:52 left mak-ing it 21-17. The Owls’

defense would hold to give the offense a chance to win the game. Marching down to the Mean Green’s 32nd yard line, they would fall short on fourth down. North Texas would run out the clock dropping FAU to (1-2) with a game against South Florida in Tampa on Saturday.
