A couple weeks ago, we managed to put Wall Drug in North Dakota. Many thanks to those of you emailed us to say that it’s in a different Dakota altogether. I think it’s in West Dakota or something. There are, however, many great things to see in North Dakota: according to roadsideamerica.com (one of our favorite sites), you can visit a statue of a giant turtle on a snowmobile in Bottineau or see the world’s largest cow statue at New Salem.In the 2000s, Mark Ruffalo, Eric Bana and Edward Norton all played what superhero, who also had a TV stint in the ‘70s?A) BatmanB) HulkC) Iron ManD) Superman

Previous answer: A lot of people have played the Hulk. (Actually, strictly speaking, they’ve played Bruce Banner, the Hulk’s less temperamental alter ego.)

ObituariesBOCA RATON – Adam Jay Harris, 22, a graduate of Spanish River High School and student at Florida At-lantic University, died Oct. 11, 2010, at Boca Raton Re-gional Hospital.His girlfriend, Robin Goldberg, said his organs were do-nated for transplant.She said he was studying psychobiology/pre-med at FAU and planned to become an endocrinologist.

Q: I have seen a sign that says U-Turn Yield and there is a traffic light with a red arrow. Does this mean I can make a U-turn when the arrow is red?

A: No, the red arrow pro-hibits you from making any turn. The yield sign is in place because ve-hicles making a right turn have the right of way. Even though you have the green arrow, you must yield to the vehicle mak-ing a right turn before you make your U-Turn.

The Commission on Ethics has announced the hiring of staff investigator Mark Bannon to oversee ethics complaints and investiga-tions. A U.S. Army veteran, Ban-non spent 25 years serving as a deputy sheriff, super-visor and commander with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office where he worked in patrol, inves-tigative and community support positions, before retiring from policing in 2005. He is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University and holds a master’s degree in public administration from Nova Southeastern Uni-versity. Bannon attended law school at the Univer-sity of Miami and was ad-mitted to the Florida Bar in 2005. He is also a for-mer assistant state attorney who prosecuted criminal cases in the 15th Judicial Circuit before entering pri-vate law practice. Bannon is the author of a book on criminal pro-cedure for law enforce-ment officers, which was published in 2003, and he has taught criminal justice courses to both police of-

Ethics Commission staffficers and undergraduate students. Upon being selected as staff investigator, Bannon stated, “I have spent the better part of the last 30 years serving the commu-nity as a law enforcement officer and a criminal pros-ecutor. It is an honor and a privilege to have the op-portunity to continue that service with the Commis-sion on Ethics.” “Mark brings an incred-ible background and breadth of knowledge as both an investigator and attorney,” said Alan John-son, executive director of the Commission on Ethics. “We are proud and pleased to have him on board.”The staff investigator for the Ethics Commission is responsible for actively investigating all legally sufficient county ethics complaints received by the commission from citizens as well as self-initiated investigations by the com-mission based on reliable sources of information within the community.

DELRAY BEACH - At 1 o’clock in the afternoon last Thursday, the main hall at the South County Civic Center was packed with people.The Voters Coalition had scheduled a meeting for candidates in the Nov. 2 election to address the au-dience and put their politi-cal cards on the table. But the main tilt that day was in the U.S. House District 19 race between Demo-cratic incumbent, U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, and his Republican challenger, Joe Budd. The Coalition gave them more time than oth-ers to present their cases.And while the two of-fice seekers differed on many matters - President Obama’s health care bill among them - they agreed on the need to create jobs and to support Israel against threats from other nations, particularly Iran.Budd, a financial advisor from West Boca Raton, is dead-bang opposed to the Obama health package and promised to try and repeal it should he win the con-gressional seat. He said the law “is being put on the backs of seniors” and he noted that cutbacks in Medicare coverage are in the offing.But Deutch told the crowd, made up largely of el-ders, that they won’t lose the Medicare advantage.

District 19 congressional candidates scrap over health care bill, agree on need to create jobs

“I wish we could inform people rather than scare them,” said Deutch. He said the bill will bring “significant discounts on prescription drugs and will crack down on insurance companies and insurance

company abuses.”There will be cuts in Medi-care coverage, he said, but not as the result of the president’s bill.But Budd fired back that he got his figures from the head actuary of Medicare

who said that for every dollar a person gets under the program, $10 is taken away from them. “It’s a shell game,” said Budd. “That’s what it’s all about.”Budd seemed fired up about another issue. “We have to get people back to work. I read this morning that a record 42 million people are on food stamps. Unemployment is in a se-vere crisis, and my oppo-nent supported a bailout bill that took $12 billion from the food stamp pro-gram.”Deutch agreed that was true, but said the total $23 billion bailout package was designed to save the jobs of teachers, firefight-ers and police. “I’m not ashamed of supporting that bill,” he said.The two agreed there is a growing gap between the rich and poor as the middle class seems to be fading away.Budd suggested wiping out the “severe regulatory environment” in which American businesses op-erate. “The Chamber of Commerce has said that 93 percent of business people fear frivolous law-suits most. I would take a Walmart approach and roll back the unnecessary regu-lations” that hamper busi-ness growth.Deutch said he supported recent legislation provid-ing loans to small busi-

CITY OF BOCA RATONNOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS

TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

City of Boca Raton Legal NoticeThe Boca Raton Tribune nesses and tax credits to companies hiring new employees. He said he has doubts about

extending tax cuts for the wealthy.The incumbent who was elected in April to replace Robert Wexler, who resigned to take a job in the private sector, said he favors increasing cost-of-living adjustments and added that he has proposed a plan to shore up Social Security.Budd said the United States “must fully support Israel. This administration has allowed the reactors to be turned on in Iran. Sanctions didn’t work.”Coincidentally, Budd drew a comment of support from another speaker, Bernard San-saricq, who is challenging U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings in District 23. “I stand with Joe Budd,” said Sansaricg, commenting that when Deutch spoke about the health care bill, he did not mention that those serving in political office in Washington have a much more luxurious health plan than what taxpayers get.

I don’t know how many of you knew Kevin McCarthy. To my mind, he was one of the greatest

character actors who ever graced the film screen, stage or television.He recently passed away at age 96 after a stellar ca-reer. But he never seemed to reach the peak he de-served.I remember seeing him in a couple of original “Twi-light Zone” episodes. He was a common figure on the old black-and-white TV dramas. But he also showed up on one of the prime time soap operas - “Dallas” or “Dynasty.” And the last time I saw him was on “The Golden Girls,” as a male compa-nion to one of the ladies.But his greatest accom-plishment - the one that got him listed on the Internet the day of his death - as the lead character in a 1956 sci-fi thriller called “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”It was with no small de-gree of pride that I inter-viewed Mr. McCarthy in 1986 when he was visiting my home town in Mas-

“Body Snatcher” actor was one heck of a guy.sachuset ts to appear in a one-man pro-duction of “Give ‘em hell, Harry,” about the li-fe of Harry Truman.I don’t re-m e m b e r much about the interview, other than the fact that Mr. McCar-thy was un-like what I perceived Hollywood actors to be. He was personable, interesting and courteous. He actually questioned me about my life and interests.Well, the story about the upcoming show got into the newspaper. Mr. Mc-Carthy liked it so much that he invited me to attend one of the performances. Not only that, but he also asked me to come to the after-production party.I was impressed. Not ma-ny Hollywood stars visited Attleboro, Mass., opting instead for nearby Provi-dence or Boston. And

those who did come to south-ern New E n g l a n d n o r m a l l y did their interviews with the big papers, not the smaller, hometown ones.I felt very special after leaving Mr. McCarthy’s interview. I wanted to

hang onto a piece of it. So I drove to a video store and purchased a VHS copy of “Invasion of the Body Snatches.”I brought the VHS copy to the “Give ‘em hell, Harry” show. Mr. McCarthy was great as President Truman. Afterwards, I talked to Mr. McCarthy at the post-show party. I asked him if he would mind autograph-ing the movie. The film was wrapped in a plastic sleeve, so I had him sign a piece of paper and slipped it into the packaging. I still have that movie to this day.

On the paper, he wrote, “They’re here!” the famous line he screamed when the alien pods arrived on earth with the makings of bodies inside. As residents fell asleep, the body inside the pod assumed their mind and mannerisms, but were unable to capture their emotions. Little by little, these emotionless crea-tures - who looked exactly like their hosts - began to populate the earth. Only Kevin McCarthy was left to warn the world about the invaders.I remember kidding with Mr. McCarthy, saying that he had to do a lot of run-ning through the Califor-nia hills during the filming. He laughingly agreed.I don’t remember how many thousands of people I have interviewed in my career. I just know that Mr. Kevin McCarthy was a person of note who made me feel like an important person, too.So Mr. McCarthy, I bid you farewell. Give ‘em hell, Kevin.

Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter run for their lives in the 1956 film, “Invasion of the Body

Snatchers.”

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 17

Planning Realistically!Are you among those who decide to procrastinate but never get around to it? Or have you already under-stood that no project will get off the ground unless you have a plan, and the ability to tackle it with determination, and in a timely manner?I know too many people who prefer to enjoy a good time, at the expense of their unfinished duties. They engage in a variety of less pressing activities while obligations, and even urgent projects, re-main untouched. They are too casual about every-thing, even emergencies. They manifest no under-standing of proper timing for the execution of any task, nor of the potential consequences of certain actions or of their own in-action.These kinds of persons operate on appearance and not reality. They love to talk about their plans

but seldom take the neces-sary steps to bring them to fruition at the right time, if ever! They may impress some people while they themselves remain de-luded.Yet, it is often more hon-orable not to share un-planned projects, than to boast about them ahead of time, and later never be able to deliver them. Indi-viduals who think and act that way are erroneously counting on “the last mo-ment” in which to finalize their plans and execute their tasks. And there may have been previous occa-sions when the last minute indeed yielded what they were projecting.Nevertheless, one needs to recognize that there’s no guarantee that there will ever be a “last moment” for the completion of an obligation. That time may have already passed, or it may never arrive. Perhaps unexpected obstacles, or

the pull of more pressing needs will keep one from ever finalizing what was desired for “the last min-ute.”The only guaranteed “last moment” for any person, is the time of one’s death, for which also serious preparation must precede it. Realistically, a life-time is needed to get ready for that event, since it means an encounter with God, ei-ther as a stern Judge, quick to pass a sentence, or as a loving Father, ready to es-cort one through the por-tals of heaven into blissful eternity in His company! Only a disciplined person, will ever know what to do and what to do next in most life situations, real-izing that when the fleet-ing seconds, minutes, and hours pass, one shall never be able to recapture them again. Human plans need to be realistic in order to fit the time frame in which they must be realized!

The Boca Raton Tribune is working harder and harder to get the newspaper to you every week.We’re announcing two new major locations where papers can be picked up.The first is at the studio of acclaimed sculptor, jew-eler and silversmith. He is located in Gallery 22, 282 Via Naranjas #53, Royal Palm Place in Boca Raton.Heller is internationally known for his work. He has been active lately cre-ating statues and busts for Henrietta, Countess de Ho-ernle, and her late husband, Count Adolph de Hoernle, in honor of the Countess’s 98th birthday. He also created the statue for Flossy Keesely for the fountain at the Mizner Park Amphitheater. Both Flossy and Yaacov have become close friends of the Boca Raton Tribune family, and we appreci-ate all the help they have given.Also, a word of thanks to Frank Moore, the security guard at the Bank of Amer-ica Building at the corner of Powerline and Palmetto Park roads in West Boca. With his help, the Tribune is now available at the re-ception desk in the lobby.Distribution of a newspa-per is very important, so we are working diligently to make sure everyone who wants a copy gets one – particularly now, when

Boca Raton Tribune adding more pickup sites to serve the community

season is starting. We want everyone to know what’s going on – and also to view the stories and photos of events that have taken place.Please look for our paper boxes around East and West Boca Raton, and stop by the places that have been distribution points since the paper started: City Hall, the Commu-nity Center, the two city libraries, Chamber of Commerce and the police station lobby. And if you can’t find on, visit our web site, www.bocaratontri-bune, for information on how to get one.

Community reaction

We at the Boca Raton Tri-bune are very happy when the community responds positively to our work.So it was with great joy that we received a letter from the Countess de Ho-ernle thanking us for our

recent coverage of her 98th birthday, the tea for the Countess at the Children’s Museum and her special appearance at the March of Dimes Signatures Chefs event. (See the Letters to the Editor section in this paper.)We enjoyed spending time with her at the event, and saw how many people came to greet her with thank-yous, hugs and kiss-es for the great work she has done over the yearsAlso, thanks to Mary Csar, the executive director of the Boca Raton Historical Society, for sharing some of the photos from the Ok-toberfest. They are fea-tured in this edition. Last week, the Tribune printed pictures taken by Manag-ing Editor Dale King when he and his wife attended.This is all part of our com-mitment to bring you all the local news from your community.

F lorida Atlantic Uni-versity’s language de-velopment lab, a part

of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and lo-cated on the Davie cam-pus, is currently conduct-ing a study, with a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, to measure a wide range of children’s skills in English and Spa-nish in order to understand the process of bilingual de-velopment. Under the direction of Pro-fessor Erika Hoff, the in-formation collected will be used to better understand how the knowledge that children acquire in their early years of life provides the foundation for later language development. The language develop-ment lab is currently re-cruiting children, ages 24 to 30 months, who are cur-rently learning English and Spanish at home. Those participating in the bilin-gual study will receive two $50 Publix gift cards. Each child also will receive a small toy and a T-shirt for participating.The first findings from Hoff’s research on bilin-gualism were presented in April 2009 at the meet-ings of the Society for

Area children sought to participate in bilingual study at FAU’s Language

Development LabResearch in Child Development. FAU researchers reported that children who are

exposed to Spanish and English at home have at least one parent who is a native speaker of Spanish. It also was observed that those children with two native Spanish-speaking parents hear more Spanish than English at home. For children with one native Spanish-speaking parent, English is generally the dominant language.FAU researchers also dis-covered that the language development of the bi-lingual children was no different from that of the English-only-speaking children when it came to the ability to repeat the sounds of each language. Studies show that children can learn the sound sys-tems of the two languages on the same schedule as monolingual children learn the set of sounds from one language. In terms of the acquisition of vocabulary words and the development of gram-mar, the result was a little different. Both groups of children learned just as much, but the bilin-gual group, because their knowledge was divided between two languages, lagged a few months be-hind the monolingual group in achieving certain

benchmarks. A member of the psy-chology faculty in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt Col-lege of Science since 1996, Hoff is the recipient of many professional and academic honors.

BOCA RATON - The Bo-ca Raton Historical So-ciety’s Town Hall Talks Lecture Series will kick off Thursday, October 28, at 7 p.m. with a lecture by Boca Raton Historical Society volunteers Arthur Abrams, Marlene Buettner

Historical Society sets talk on Boca pioneer Frank Chesebro

and Natalie Warren, who will speak about Boca Ra-ton’s pioneer era. The talk will focus on Frank Chesebro, who mo-ved to Boca Raton in 1903 and soon became the larg-est property owner and principal employer in the

growing community. He kept a brief synopsis of daily activities in a se-ries of diaries from his ar-rival in 1903 until just be-fore his death in 1936. His notes are terse and practi-cal; they subtly provide a glimpse into the social history of a pioneer South Florida community. Historical Society volun-teers have undertaken the transcription and analysis of these handwritten dia-ries and will share their ob-servations about life in the “good ole days” of Boca Raton. The 2010-2011 Town Hall Talks Lecture Series is sponsored by Madelyn Savarick and the law firm of Chapin, Ballerano and Cheslack. All lectures will take place at the Old Town Hall, 71 North Fed-eral Highway, Boca Raton at 7 p.m. The lectures are free for Historical Society members and $5 for others.

BOCA RATON – “There is still humor and joy in life even after a breast can-cer diagnosis. Regardless of the prognosis, if you’re alive, there’s hope. Only our Creator will determine check-out time.”Roxanna Trinka, a Boca Raton resident, president and CEO of Baseline Engi-neering and an eight-year survivor of breast cancer, placed those words on her own special breast cancer support website around the time she was undergoing treatment for the dreaded disease.But she has never dwelt on dread. To those in the same predicament, she offers empathy, but not sympathy; support and un-derstanding. Inspirational words fill that site at www.youcanthrive.com.The Boca businesswoman told the Boca Raton Tri-bune she is in the process of compiling the writings from the site into a book to offer assistance, support and courage to breast can-cer patients.

Footwear is fabulous this fall! So many choices… too bad we only have two feet! If you have been shoe shopping lately you are no doubt delighted by the di-versity; so many looks to love and something for ev-eryone. Traditionalists who crave a slim sexy high heel will adore the stilettos of the season, done perfectly by Prada and Dior. The influ-ence of Mad Men is affect-ing fashion is in a big way, so the lady-like look is all the rage with lace, velvet, bows, suedes and more. In need of firmer footing? Saf-er chunky heels are still big sellers. Check out Kors and Ferragamo. Wedges are still holding strong with great looks by Bottega Veneta and Marni, and platforms, especially when done with Stuart Weitzman’s style are a must.Details, details, details. Shoes this season have lots going on: bright colors, metal-lics, straps, buckles, animal prints and textures. Feet are definitely the focus!Of course the biggest must for the season are boots! From booties to thigh highs - they are everywhere. While there are all sorts of styles on the shelves, what’s really appealing are the booties with all the cut-outs.... open toes, laser cuts, straps and sling backs. This is so Florida! We get all the cool of the trend but it’s practical! Naturally, I know many of you won’t be able to resist the more traditional boot, and the thigh highs are hot because of all the celebs

wearing them. So if you venture with the over the knee looks just remember to keep the proportion-tights with swing dress minis or the perfect slim jeans pair best. Just below the knee boots are easier to pull off for most and they avoid those old Pretty Woman flashbacks...you remember that! Having someone assist you in coordinating the hottest footwear fashions with your fall wardrobe is a big help. Recently I was browsing through the looks at Alene Too at the Shoppes at Village Pointe where they showcase all the star influ-enced styles. Their clothes are all paparazzi perfect and their footwear is straight off the catwalk. Currently their big footwear sellers are Pour La Victoire pumps and boots, Loeffler Randall boots and rainboots, Joie over the knee and moto boots and booties by 12th St by Cynthia Vincent.From classic to cutting edge, footwear designers have really stepped up this season- giving us every reason to kick up our heels!DON’T MISS: Town Cen-ter Style

Be sure to stop by the mall Saturday, October 16th and Sunday, October 17th for Town Center style...A Show-case of Home Décor, Fash-ion and Food presented by JM Lexus.The fun-filled weekend will feature an array of chic events starting with Style Wars at 11 a.m. on Satur-day. This show will present the student fashions from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Could the next Armani or Donna Karan be in our midst? Check out their designs and watch the students strut their stuff. After that, there will be other style and beauty pre-sentations, followed by home and décor sessions, a food hour and a kids hour. In addition, many of the stores are offering terrific specials-look for the fliers at the entrances for deals like 30 percent off eye-glasses at Lens Crafters, $10 off your $50 purchase at Express, $200 off any Advanced Skin Care Pack-age at Sleek MedSpa and so many other discounts, specials and events.

We at The Boca Ra-ton Tribune, encourage youngsters to follow their passion of writing and en-courage them by posting article sent to us. Today, we want to thank Gabri-ela Barbieri in her great review of the show Adam Lambert had at the Hard Rock Hotel earlier this month.

By Gabriela Barbieri (8th Grader at American Heri-tage Middle School)

The very talented Adam Lambert performed at the Hard Rock Cafe on Sep-tember 19thon his SOLD OUT TOUR. The fans were very nice and ex-travagantly dressed! One of them, whose name was Andrea Russo, was wear-ing an original design, cre-ated and designed by her-self based on the Rolling Stones’ Magazine cover of the Adam Lambert is-

sue. She said she likes cos-tumes and has been to a lot of Adam’s concerts.“He is really worth it,” she said.She personally got to meet Adam, showed him a CD she had been working on, and got her magazine signed. Adam, as we all know, has an astonishing talent with his wide range of amazing vocals. Hard Rock was the 71st show of his National Glam Tour,

and his last show “on the road”.The theme of the show, as he stated on stage, was love. His opening act was Allison Iraheta, a contestant from American Idol. She may be young, only 17, but her vocals are powerful and she has got a bright future ahead of her.Hard Rock’s remarkable sound system can match even the loudest crowds, and the instruments and vocals of the artists were heard to a tee. Adam Lam-bert played with 4 great band members: 2 guita-rists, a drummer, and a fe-male keyboardist. He also brought a dance crew, and they preformed energeti-cally and skillfully though all of the songs.A few of the songs he sang were Ring of Fire, Whataya Want From Me, Strut, Af-termath, Sure Fire Winners and a few more. My only criticism was that I think he should have played more songs, with less of a delay between each one. All in all, it was a great show, and in future shows I have faith that he will only get better, and become a household name in music.

“It’s one more step in the support process,” she said. Also in the works are we-binars to share informa-tion, treatment ideas, op-tions and stories for and about those with breast cancer.Actually, she said, the site is designed to be a source of empowerment, encouragement, inspira-tion and support for those experiencing any kind of hardship, and to assist their family members and friends.Trinka is not a woman who lets cancer – or anything else – get her down. She recalls the 18-hour period that began when her doctor called her with the horrific diagnosis.“I wasn’t surprised,” she said. “I had had a lumpec-tomy and the doctor said it didn’t look good.”That night, “after we fin-ished crying,” she and her husband, Bill, went to din-ner. He was so upset that he suffered a cardiac inci-dent that landed him in the emergency room.“A doctor told me that you can be scared to death,” said Roxanna.The following morning, a

veterinarian administered too much anesthetic while treating their dog – and the pet died.Giving up was never an option, she said. But she did feel vulnerable. “You don’t know if you are go-ing to the right doctors and making the right deci-sions.”She kept her morale up by sharing stories and pho-tos on the website. Many pictures show her without hair. In one, she is stand-ing there, bald, with her arms up in the air, imitat-ing Popeye’s “I’m strong to the finish” attitude.Roxanna was strong, and now feels great. She con-tinues to run her company and is a member of many civic groups. She thanks her husband, Bill, for his love and aid. “He was my rock” through it all, she said. She is also proud of daughter, Chel-sea, who offers her own ideas on the website.When Roxanna finished her last treatment, she said, “I just wanted to escape. We took the boat and went to the Bahamas for two weeks. And I kept getting stronger.”She said her doctor told her

a relapse was not likely. The tumor re-moved was in stage 1, phase 1. “My phy-sician said I was cured,” she said, “and that’s pretty bold language coming from a doctor.”

“Secretariat” is a good, old-fashioned, rah-rah sports movie, but it is more; an emotional underdog story about a determined woman and her equally determined horse.The woman is Penny Chenery, portrayed by Di-ane Lane.I have admired Diane Lane ever since I saw her in “The Outsiders” when she was only 17-years-old. Lane has paradoxical qualities: she is beautiful and femi-

‘Secretariat’ a winner for all time

nine but a little rough and tough, worldly, and above all, sexy.These are the perfect qual-ities to play Penny Chen-ery, who is described as an “ordinary housewife,” but really is a most extraordi-nary person.Chenery was the owner of Secretariat, one of the most extraordinary racehorses of all time, and the last one to win the Triple Crown of the Kentucky Derby, Bel-mont and the Preakness

in 1973. Secretariat set re-cords in the first two races that stand to this day.As magnificent as Big Red (Secretariat’s nickname) was, the movie is as much about Penny Chenery’s personal struggle to train, compete and triumph in a lame-dominated sport.The story begins back in 1969 in Virginia with an agreement struck by Pen-ny’s father (Scott Glenn) and his wealthy, friend-ly rival, Ogden Phipps

(James Cromwell). A coin toss was proposed to deter-mine the pick of the next two foals of two cham-pionship horses. Phipps chose a weanling filly he thought was a sure thing. Chenery “lost” with the colt that would change the face of American horse racing.Adapting from journalist William Nack’s non-fic-tion book, Mike Rich has devised a gripping double underdog story that builds under Randall Wallace’s direction through trials, tribulations, setbacks and, finally, edge-of –the-seat racing triumphs. John Malkovich lends humor, pride and determination to his French-Canadian train-er, Lucien Laurin.Particularly rewarding is

the final display of photos of the real characters, in-cluding the fabled horse.“Secretariat” is inspira-tional in an old-fashioned, can-do American way. It seems a miracle that Penny Chenery’s marriage sur-vived all the challenges of her husband’s skepticism, the expenses of thorough-bred racing and her own defiant self-determination. But as the movie poster de-clares, this is “The Impos-sible True Story.” You will laugh, thrill and probably weep. This is Walt Disney entertainment at its best.

Four stars

‘Waiting for Superman’ a disconcerting documen-tary“Waiting for Superman” is the most important film documentary since “An In-convenient Truth.”It is no coincidence that both films were directed by Davis Guggenheim, a man who really knows how to make a point forcefully.“Superman” should do for American public education what “Inconvenient Truth” did for global warming.

John Malkovich and Diane Lane in “Secretariat”Guggenheim accom-plished his goal by finding five appealing, typical kids facing challenges in ob-taining a quality education and following the children through a school year in home towns of The Bronx, New York, Harlem, Wash-ington, D.C., Detroit and Los Angeles.Guggenheim barrages us with grim facts and figures between scenes showing the children at home and in schools labeled as “drop-out factories.”Contrasting the stories of failure is that of Bronx in-ner city native Geoffrey Canada, who rose above his circumstances and star-ted a miraculously suc-cessful charter school in the worst part of Harlem.Why a charter school, you might ask?The simple answer is teachers’ unions and ten-ure rules. Defending the teachers’ point of view is teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten.There is no simple answer to the fact of why Amer-ica has slipped behind so much of the civilized


world in education over the past 50 years, just as there is no simple answer regarding global warming.“Superman” promises to be as controversial and volatile as “Inconvenient Truth,” but for those of us who have children in the public school system, or simply care about the kids struggling now, “Super-man” is a ray of light shed on a very dark issue. Let the debates begin.

“Never Let Me Go” a mournful horror film“Never Let Me Go” is a mournful, melancholy melo-drama based on the 2005 novel by Japanese-born Brit-ish author, Kazuo Ishiguro.Carey Mulligan stars as Kathy H, a girl raised in a sequestered boarding school in Hailsham, Eng-land.Kathy’s best friends are Tom (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightly). What the kids don’t realize until too late is that they are clones being cultivated expressly as donors of or-gans for ailing human be-ings.As horrifying as that thought is, screenwriter Alex Gar-land and director Mark Romanek pour on the melodrama with the spec-ter of a doomed romantic triangle with all its regrets.What “Never Let Me Go” does prove is that Mulli-gan, Knightly and Garfield are three of the best and brightest young actors of their generation.

I attended two of the soci-ety calendar’s major fund-raisers this last week. One took place in daylight, The Junior League of Boca Ra-ton’s 23rd Annual Volun-teer of the Year Award. The other started in the dark, Soroptimist International’s 37th Women of Distinction Annual Awards Breakfast, and ended in daylight!More than 900 people filled the ballroom at The Boca Resort & Club for the first of Boca Raton’s “mega” fundraising luncheons to honor 31 nominees chosen for the ultimate Volunteer of the Year Award. Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation was present-ing sponsor for the second year. As well as lunch, we en-joyed the visual feast of the SAKS Fifth Avenue fashion show which as usual kept the audience spellbound before the an-nouncement of the award. This year, the award went to the effervescent Brooke Qualk, nominated for her work with Home Safe Foundation. It was indeed Brooke’s lucky day as ear-lier she had won the raffle

And there’s an entertain-ing twist- the Chandelier Table concept and raffle was originally Brooke’s idea! Congratulations to Brooke and to Jackie Reeves WVOY Chair and her team!The second major event on the social calendar was the annual “Early Bird Spe-cial.” No, not the Denny’s variety, but Soroptimist International’s Women of Distinction Annual Awards Breakfast At Boca West Country Club. This is one of the feel-good events the community turns out for en masse. Mayor Susan Whelchel set the tone by reading a city proclama-tion. I was seated at Rosemary and Ben Krieger’s table and able to congratulate Rosemary when she re-ceived a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. Congratulations Rose-

mary! Long-standing Awards Breakfast Plati-num sponsors Dr. Marta Rendon and Dr. Patricia Rooney thoughtfully gave guests a gift certificate for facial treatments -it was 7:30 in the morning so I thought that was inspired marketing! Fortunately Boca West’s coffee is one of the stron-ger java brews so it’s easy to revive once you arrive! I love this event as it hon-ors such a wide spectrum of women in the non-profit and corporate worlds. Congratulations to Lorry Herdeen, Kim Champion and Honorary Chair Kathy Adkins for another well or-ganized and well deserved salute to so many “unsung heroes”. Of course I have to men-tion the mistress of cer-emonies, the wonderful Emily Lilly, who set the tone perfectly with her trademark closing re-marks, “Thank you for coming and have a happy day!”I couldn’t agree more!And that is life in Boca….

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

Question: Until a week ago, I lived with a man in Coral Springs for seven years, al-though we never married. We own a home together, own a bank account togeth-er, jointly own two cars, and chipped in to buy furniture. Most importantly, we have a son, five years old.He announced he was mo-ving out a week before he moved. During that week, we agreed on a division of the furniture and cars. He wants to sell the house, and I want to keep it. He thinks he ought to get more than half of the house money, if we sell, or if one buys out the other, because he says he put up the down pay-ment, and makes the mort-gage payments.I told him that the house should be half-and-half be-cause that’s the way the title is held, and while he made the mortgage payments, I spent my whole check on running the house, paying the car payments and most other bills.We could not agree on the amount that he was to pay me in child support, or the time-sharing of our son. He and I are both from a state which still recognizes com-mon law marriage. After he left, I found out, on the Internet, that Florida does not have common law mar-

Paternity suit needed to determine child support in

‘divorce’ for common law marriageriage. How do we get out of this mess?Answer: Florida law pro-vides legal remedies, which gives our circuit courts the jurisdiction (power) to re-solve the issues that you have described. Any divorce at-torney can help you through the process, even though it would not, technically, be a divorce case, because you are not married.To establish the correct a-mount of child support and child raising responsibility and access, it will be neces-sary to file a paternity law-suit against the child’s fa-ther. Even though you have indicated that there was ne-ver a doubt as to the iden-tity of the father, and even if your friend was listed on the birth certificate as the child’s father, the paternity suit is required to confirm his legal responsibility as the father.The judge in the paternity suit will be able enter a final judgment establishing your former friend as the legal father, and set child sup-port according to the Florida child support guidelines stat-ute usually used in divorce cases.The judge will also be able to design a parenting plan, providing for “visitation”, now usually called access to your child, if the two of

you cannot agree upon a plan, just as if the two of you had married. The judge will, as in divorce cases, retain jurisdiction over the two of you and your child for purposes of enforce-ment of his or her ruling and modification of support and access issues until the child becomes an adult.A second count can be ad-ded to your lawsuit for par-tition (division) of the home you own together. There is a presumption that the pro-ceeds from the sale of the house be divided equally, because you both hold the title. The judge, however, can under very narrow cir-cumstances decide that the proceeds of the sale of the house be divided unequally, based upon past agreements between you, and your indi-vidual contributions to the purchase and upkeep of the home through the years.If the two of you cannot agree on selling the house to one or the other, and can-not agree how to market the house to strangers, the judge can order the house sold at the courthouse steps, at auction. After the judge rules on the division of the equity it would probably be better to agree on a normal sales plan than to allow the auction to go forward.

This is the third in a series considering the issue of “God” and his existence. One of the first evidences for the existence of God is the universal belief in God.Anyone who is familiar at all with human history knows that man is religious. Humans at all times and in almost ev-ery place have believed in the existence of God. Prehis-toric structures (Stonehenge in England, Hagar Qim and the Hypogeum in Malta, etc.) all testify to the fact that man is a “religious animal,” dis-tinct and radically different from the beasts and all living creatures upon the face of the earth. The earliest civiliza-tions (Sumerians, Egyptians, Incas, etc.) all without excep-tion had a strong sense of re-ligion. And even today, with all of our technological and scientific advancements, ac-cording to Oxford University Press World Christian Ency-clopedia, 84 percent of the world’s population belongs to some form of organized religion, which at the end of 2009 equals 5.7 billion people who belong to about 10,000 distinct religions. To some, belief in God seems to be a process of natural evolution. In his 1871 book, The Descent of Man, Charles Darwin noted that anthro-pologists conclude that “a be-lief in all-pervading spiritual

agencies seems to be univer-sal; and apparently follows from a considerable advance in the reasoning powers of man, and from a still greater advance in his faculties of imagination, curiosity and wonder.”(Darwin, C. 1871. The Descent of Man. Lon-don: John Murray, Vol. 2, 395.)Along similar lines, Michael Shermer, noted skeptic, states, “around 5,000 to 7,000 years ago, as bands and tribes began to coalesce into chief-doms and states, even before the invention of government, religions were the first social institutions to codify moral behaviors into ethical prin-ciples, and God evolved as the ultimate enforcer of the rules.” (Shermer, Michael. 1999. How We Believe. New York: Henry Holt/Times Books.) Mr. Shermer be-lieves the gods will always be with us because they are hard-wired into our brains.According to the Bible, this religious nature was placed there by God. The writer of Ecclesiastes referred to God as having “set eternity in the hearts of men” (Ecc. 3.11). Blaise Pascal, the great seventeenth-century mathematician, wrote of “the God-shaped vacuum” in ev-ery person.For all of modern man’s so-phistication and advance-

ments, the issue of God just won’t go away. “The con-clusion we reach in our re-flection on this question has the most momentous conse-quences in the orientation of our thinking and our daily living” (Ways of Thinking About God, Edward Sillem, p.1). If there is a God, know-ing Him will be the ultimate key to our existence. If there is a God, morals, laws, con-science, our constant appeal to right and wrong, all make sense. “Belief in God is gen-uinely coherent with all we know about ourselves and our universe. It contradicts no known facts and it makes sense of many things that would otherwise be inexpli-cable” (The Quest for Faith: Pointers to God; C. Stephen Evans, p.131).Augustine, the fifth-century church father said it best: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in thee.” The fact that a vast majority of hu-manity has believed in God or gods does not prove His existence, but it becomes a beginning reference point to keep in mind as we evalu-ate the other evidences. The question the reader must con-sider is not whether the ma-jority of men believe in God, but why do they believe, and how did that concept get there in the first place?

Consequences of God(Part 3)

You look up into the sky and what do you see? Yes, you said it, CLOUDS! Ever been curious to know a little bit more about those white fluffy marshmallows that float above us? Clouds effectively serve the purpose of bringing weather. Whether it’s to embellish the environment with rain or snow, they can just as easily reflect light and hold in heat for a warm winter day. The sky is made up of three different cloud levels. Low clouds develop from the ground up to 6,500 feet, while middle clouds range from 6,500 feet to as high as 25,000 feet. High clouds however are almost at the end of the sky, rang-ing from their lowest of 10,000 feet all the way to an extended 60,000 feet. The area that clouds occu-py and develop in is called the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere and where the weather takes place. The troposphere starts at the Earth’s surface and ends 20 kilometers in the sky. That’s nearly 12 miles! The area over the tropo-sphere is the stratosphere. This probably sounds a bit more familiar to you as

What do you see when you look up into the sky?

this is the area where com-mercial airlines pilot fly.In the stratosphere, there is no weather because there are no clouds, so techni-cally airplanes fly over the weather! Four basic cloud categories occupy the troposphere. Clouds that are thin and wispy in appearance are cirrus clouds found in the high level. They appear to be at the top of the sky and usually point in the direc-tion of the wind at their elevation. Nimbus clouds are known to be rain clouds, typi-cally forming closer to the ground in the lower level area. They can become dark and bring steady pre-cipitation. These clouds tend to get lower to the ground when they release rain. Clouds that come so low

to the ground that at times are also known to be fog, are strato clouds. Strato’s are generally only a couple of hundred feet from the ground, covering the com-plete sky like a blanket and bringing gloomy weather. And finally, what we all recognize in the sky to be the famous marshmallow clouds are cumulo clouds. They are big fluffy balls that build vertically in the sky. The height of cumu-lo’s depends on the humid-ity of the rising air. These marshmallows at their highest level can reach over 60,000 feet. Whether you end up look-ing at the clouds in the sky today or tomorrow, you’ll now wonder a little less about their existence in the vastly open blue space.

BOCA RATON - Kuda Biza. a 24-year-old Lynn University alumnus from Harare, Zimbabwe, has found a job and a calling.Actually, he founded the company itself - Authentic Fashion Renaissance (AFR) Clothing - in September 2009. The firm is dedicated to educating children in Af-rica. “The purchase of one shirt will educate one child in Africa,” said Biza.“AFR Clothing is a social entrepreneurship firm,” he said. “We are committed to donating a portion of our proceeds to charitable or-ganizations in ‘AFR’ica for educational purposes.”This summer, AFR Cloth-ing made its first donation of 7,200 South African Rands - equivalent to about $1,008 U.S. dollars - to Nurturing Orphans of AIDS for Humanity (NOAH), an organization in South Af-rica that takes care of or-phans and other vulnerable children. Later this year, AFR Cloth-ing plans to donate to Ndoro Children’s Charities, a Zim-babwean organization that also caters to orphans.The donation to NOAH was particularly significant because the check was hand

delivered by a group of Lynn students while on an annual study tour to South Africa. The tour, led by Lynn advisors Shaun Exs-teen and Dylan Kendrick, focused on education in Af-rica. “Once AFR Clothing takes off, we’d like to hand deliver every donation,” said Biza. “It’s important to connect with the lives you are changing.”According to Biza, his edu-cation at Lynn inspired and motivated him to make AFR Clothing a reality. “I was able to write the AFR Clothing business plan us-ing what I learned in my business classes,” he said. “Also, some of my profes-sors helped me adjust the strategy and gave me direc-tions for the way forward.”“AFR Clothing is my way of making a difference in the world,” said Biza. “I grew up in Sub-Saharan Africa, and although I was raised in a middle-class family, I

have witnessed first-hand the plight faced by millions of people there.”“As a global citizen, I strongly feel that it is my responsibility to make the world a better place in whatever way I can. I be-lieve education is the great-est gift you can give any-one. That is why all AFR Clothing donations are for education.”Biza is a two-time gradu-ate of Lynn, first earning his bachelor of science in busi-ness with specializations in international business and aviation management in 2009, then earning his MBA in financial valuation and investment manage-ment in 2010.“I want to become a serial entrepreneur before I enter international development,” said Biza when asked about his plans for the future. “My goal is to set up a few busi-ness ventures all over the world before I become an ambassador for my coun-try.”Currently, Biza is partici-pating in a distance-learn-ing course with Guglielmo Marconi University in Rome, Italy, while complet-ing an internship at Jarden Consumer Solutions’ global headquarters in Boca Raton and continuing to expand AFR Clothing.

BOCA RATON - Boca Ra-ton Regional Hospital has announced the appoint-ment of Louise E. Morrell, MD, as medical director at its Eugene M. and Chris-tine E. Lynn Cancer Insti-tute. Dr. Morrell’s appointment is the result of a national search and final review of more than a dozen can-didates from some of the country’s most prestigious cancer programs and facili-ties. “It is with great enthusi-asm and confidence that we make this important announcement for our hos-pital,” said Jerry Fedele, president and CEO at Boca Regional. “Dr. Morrell has demonstrated her signifi-cant capabilities as both a clinician and leader in the exceptional accomplish-ments that have been real-ized at our renowned Cen-ter for Breast Care at the Christine E. Lynn Wom-en’s Health and Wellness

Dr. Louise Morrell named medical director for Lynn Cancer Institute at Boca Regional Hospital

Institute at Boca Raton R e g i o n a l H o s p i t a l . She was the unanimous choice of our search commi t t ee in what was a very com-petitive and impressive s e l e c t i o n process.” Dr. Morrell joined Boca Raton Re-gional Hos-pital in 1995 as medical director for the Center for Breast

Care. Under her steward-ship, the center has become the most experienced and comprehensive program in the region, seeing 90,000 procedures a year. In 1996, she created the center’s unique high-risk and genetic assessment programs and in 2002 was an integral part of the hos-pital’s initiative to expand the Lynn Cancer Institute and build its $75 million, state-of-the-art Sandler Pavilion. Dr. Morrell has been a champion of multi-modal-ity care for breast cancer patients, which has be-come the Center for Breast Care’s hallmark in the way it provides treatment and service to a woman diag-nosed with the disease. She is recognized through-out South Florida for her role as an educator and spokesperson for breast cancer awareness, preven-tion and genetic counsel-

ing, as well as an advocate for the research and de-velopment of advances in imaging and treatment of breast disease. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree with majors in chemistry and psychol-ogy from Indiana Univer-sity and completed medi-cal school at Washington University School of Medicine. She completed her internship and resi-dency in internal medicine at Jewish Hospital and a fellowship in Hematol-ogy/Oncology at Barnes and Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Prior to joining Boca Re-gional, Dr. Morrell held the position of assistant professor of medicine within the Division of On-cology at the University of Miami.In making the Hospital’s announcement, Fedele also noted Dr Morrell’s predecessor, Philip Smith MD. “Dr. Smith’s vision for the Lynn Cancer In-stitute resulted in a facil-ity that would be the envy of many academic medi-cal centers,” he said. “Dr. Smith’s leadership and clinical expertise, coupled with his collaboration with the exceptional cancer specialists at Boca Re-gional, created the strong foundation for a clinical oncology program that is the equal of the best pro-grams nationally. We cer-tainly thank Dr. Smith for all that he has done for us and the patients we serve.”

DOG TALK WITH UNCLE MATTY

Breed HysteriaFive dogs. Zero socializa-tion. One unsuspecting little boy. The result, however tragic, is no surprise.When 2-year-old Jacob Bis-bee opened the door to his grandfather’s garage, he had no idea of the danger that waited just on the other side. His grandfather, how-ever, did. Steven Hayashi, 52, of Con-cord, Calif., was charged with felony child endan-germent and possession of mischievous animals after three of his five dogs fa-tally mauled his grandson. Hayashi told police he “ig-nored the warning signs” after one of the dogs killed his Chihuahua.All five of Hayashi’s dogs were destroyed after the incident. Unfortunately, all five were pit bulls.It’s unfortunate because it’s a distraction. Once a per-son reads that a dog attack involved a pit bull, they tune out: This information doesn’t apply to me. What-ever the dog owner’s con-tribution, it doesn’t matter, because pit bulls are inher-ently vicious. I don’t and never will own a pit bull, so this could never happen to me. Those dogs should be banned.But say Hayashi had five Labs, America’s do-no-wrong breed. Say those Labs, like his pit bulls, lived in a garage, were

sometimes tied up in the yard and had little if any socialization with people. Say those Labs, like his pit bulls, were not neutered or spayed, lived as a pack and had zero training. At this point, save three hots and a cot, what’s the difference between the hypothetical Labs and a pack of wild animals?More to the point: Would you bet everything on the door that stood between your child and that pack? For whatever reason, peo-ple are determined to make this a breed issue. In that case, it’s a poodle issue and a dachshund issue and a shepherd issue and a beagle issue and a husky issue, as well as a pit bull, Rottwei-ler and Doberman issue. It’s a dog issue. More than anything, it’s a dog owner issue.Dog owners the world over refuse to educate their dogs. They don’t have the money. They don’t have the time. They don’t have the mo-tivation until it’s too late. And untrained, unsocial-ized dogs of all breeds in-evitably develop problems.The question is no longer: What can we learn from this incident? There have been so many incidents, so many “teachable moments” that sparked media frenzy and breed hysteria but little in the way of discernible

progress.The question now is: When are we going to learn?Almost a decade ago, a 4-pound Pomeranian killed an infant in her crib. Just last week, I got a call from a reader with two Chihua-huas - one had just taken out the eyeball of the other in a dogfight. If we banned every breed that had ever been involved in the biting of a child or another dog, the domesticated canine would find itself on the en-dangered species list. When are we going to learn that an untrained, unsocial-ized animal in the house is the equivalent of a loaded weapon in the cookie jar? Maybe your child gets away with a little shrapnel in the leg. Maybe he’s not so lucky. Do you take the chance?If a person were to chug a bottle of Jim Beam before driving their car through the world’s busiest inter-section, most of civilized society would concede that the driver had grossly shunned his responsibility to consider the reasonable expectation of danger in-herent in his actions. If no one gets injured or killed, it’s extraordinary luck or di-vine intervention. If some-one does, it’s no surprise. But no one yells, “Ban the Camry!” Woof!

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RESULTS

On a night in which all eyes and ears around South Florida tuned in to watch the Lions and Mavericks play as part of “Football Night in South Florida”, fans saw a one sided win by district powerhouse Archbishop McCarthy.Olympic Heights equaled Archbishop McCarthy in total offense, but the Lions couldn’t match the Mav-ericks scoring in a 23-7 loss last Thursday night at home.Their second loss to a dis-trict opponent puts the Li-ons (3-2, 0-2 in District 14-3A) in a difficult spot to reach the postseason. “It’s out of our hands now,” coach Mitch Henghold said.Each team gained 318 yards on offense and the Lions earned 22 first downs compared with the Mavericks’ 13, but Arch-bishop McCarthy put theirs to better use. The Li-ons rushed for 268 yards; the Mavericks gained 219 yards through the air.The Mavericks (3-0, 1-0 in District 14-3A) scored first on the longest play of the game, a 68-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Michael Armiento to Ryan Selimos.Juwan King scored on a 2-yard run to give the Mavericks a 13-0 lead in the first quarter.Senior Tavon Jenkins capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 3-yard run to bring some life in the Li-

Olympic Heights loses 23-7 at home to district rival Archbishop McCarthyon’s offence but it was no avail.Archbishop added to the score with a Marshall Morgan 46-yard field goal in the third quarter and a 5-yard touch-down run by King in the fourth quarter.The Lions were able to move the ball consistently in their possessions, but every time, they came up empty.Near the end of the first half, the Lions’ 12-play drive that had brought them inside the Mavericks’ 10 yard-line

ended with an incomplete pass on fourth down.“We were kind of emotion-ally spent at halftime and couldn’t get back into in.” Henghold said.Early in the fourth quarter, a Lions drive ended with a fumble on the 11th play at the Mavericks’ 22 yard-line.And their last bid to score was stopped when junior quarterback Matt Kelly (9-for-13 for 70 yards) threw his only interception near the goal line.This week the Lions next opponent is Boynton Beach High School on Thursday October 14th. Kickoff is at 7pm.

The de-fense for the Owls played well in the third quarter not allowing any points. Running back Alfred Mor-ris would run inside for a one yard touchdown as the third quarter was winding down. The Owls’ good for-tunes kept coming as Mor-

Late in the fourth the Warhawks needed a mir-acle drive to come back and they got it as running back Jyruss Edwards ran a touchdown in with 2:43 remaining in the game. Loui-sana-Monroe would then capitalize on a 2-point con-version bringing the score to 20-17 and that is how the game would end. The Owl’s would end up with only 281 yards of to-tal offense while giving up over 400 yards on de-fense.

With the Miami Dolphins’ bye week this past Sunday, there hasn’t been a whole lot going on with the team to cover.Thus, here are some bits of news regarding the Dolphins, some of which might be slightly dated.• Free agent guard Ray Feinga was suspended for four game by the NFL last week for an undisclosed violation of league policy. A second-year guard who was undrafted out of BYU in 2009, Feinga was re-leased last Monday before the Dolphins’ game against the Patriots to make room for practice-squad linebac-kerAustin Spitler. This sus-pension answers the ques-tion of why Feinga has not yet been re-signed to the practice squad. It’s pos-sible the Dolphins could do so once the suspension is up, as Feinga can serve it despite being a free agent.• Jake Long didn’t practice after the Patriots’ game last week, nor did he practice today. I’m not concerned has statistically been the best tackle in football with just four pressures and no sacks allowed. Long has a sore knee and is just using the bye week to rest, but he should be good to go against Green Bay.• Guard John Jerry (illness) finally returned to the prac-tice field, while defensive end Jared Odrick (fibula) is doing individual work. Both appear close to re-turning and I’d expect both to be back by Week 6, if not Week 5. The two rook-ies are quality starters and will easily help the Dol-

Miami Dolphins News & Notes

phins when they return.• There have been some posts by Dolphins’ beat writers recently about whether or not the team should regret letting go of wide receiver Ted Ginn, Jr. and outside linebacker Matt Roth.Ginn has aver-age 29.4 yards per kick return with the 49ers this season, while Roth has to-taled 26 tackles and two sacks for the Browns as a quality run-stopper. Quite frankly, I don’t think the Dolphins made a bad move in either case. The hatred for Ginn in Miami was palpable, and I think both parties were better suited going their separate ways. Roth is playing up to the potential in Cleveland that we always knew he had, but he refused to get on the field with a mysterious in-jury and wore out his wel-

come with the front office. Just because he’s playing a certain way with one team doesn’t mean he was ever going to have the motiva-tion to do so with another. If Miami could have gotten something for Roth, they would have. They also got a fifth-round pick for Ginn used on Nolan Carroll, who isn’t the returner Ginn is, but also doesn’t have a mental block against pro-gression and still has some potential of his own.• Cornerback Vontae Da-vis saw The Town this weekend, after suggestions from myself and other fol-lowers of his on Twitter.

weight division.En route to the finals at the National PAL Cham-pionships, 20-year-old Geffrard dismissed Danny Calhoun 9-4 in the open-ing round followed by Joe White 12-1 and then stopped Charles Blackwell in the second round of the semifinals to advance to the finals. In the cham-pionship bout, Geffrard faced Robert Jakebson who he was even with 5-5 after the second round be-fore prevailing 10-6 in the third round to claim the National PAL Champion-ship title.

“I am very happy that I won the Triple Crown, but that just means that I have to work even harder,” said an excited, but humble, Steve Geffrard. “Every-one is going to be gun-ning for me, and I can’t stop working until I have the gold medal around my neck.”“It’s all about hard work and dedication, there was a goal and he accom-plished it,” said Steve Collazo, Geffrard’s coach who has been with Steve at every national event this year. “Winning three major national titles in the

same year is a tough task, but Steve mentally felt he could do it. Going to Eu-rope was a great experi-ence for him and I think he did excellent boxing in his first international dual. He is getting closer to Lon-don, no excuses.”Completing the Triple Crown by winning the National PAL Champion-ships, Geffrard has now earned a direct entry into the 2011 U.S. Olympic Trials where he will fight to secure a spot on the 2012 U.S. Summer Olym-pic Boxing Team.
