BOCA RATON - It wasn’t just a wave that swept Re-publicans back to political prominence in Tuesday’s general election. It was a tsunami.Nationally, and in both Florida and Palm Beach County, few challenged Democrats got back into office.In South County, only one candidate – U.S. Rep. Ted

Rubio, Scott, West, Bogdanoff ride Republican wave in Tuesday’s election

Deutch, the Democratic incumbent in District 19, won his seat back by a 2-1 margin over Joe Budd.But in the adjacent District 22, two-term Democratic incumbent Ron Klein, a longtime politician who served in both the Florida House and Senate before going to Washington, lost to retired Lt. Col. Allen West, who was beaten by Klein in the 2008 election.Catching national head-

lines was the stunning victory for U.S. Senate of Marco Rubio, who has been battling two chal-lengers – Democrat Ken-drick Meek and Gov. Charlie Crist. After losing the Republican primary, Crist switch to Indepen-dent status, but lately had been currying favor from Democrats. Even notable Democrats like Bill Clin-ton and Burt Aaronson had urged Meek to drop out of

the race, but he didn’t.Rubio got about 50 percent of the total vote.A race that wasn’t decided until Wednesday morn-ing was that of governor Republican Rick Scott and Democrat Alex Sink had been just a few thou-sand votes apart, and it ap-peared the election might go to challenge when Sink conceded defeat about 10 a.m. Wednesday.

BOCA RATON - A star of the TV show, “Emergen-cy,” the first program that followed the exploits of parame-dics, was recently honored by Boca Raton Fire Chief Tom Wood, who oversees the city’s Fire/Rescue squad.Wood presented the Boca Raton Fire Rescue Ser-vices Excellence Award to Randolph Mantooth, who was the keynote speaker

Fire Chief Tom Wood with Randolph Mantooth.

at a seminar on firefighter safety held at the Fire Res-cue Services Administra-tion Building, 6500 Con-gress Avenue. Mantooth spoke to more than 150 firefighters from the tri-county area on firefighter safety and the dangers of carbon mon-oxide poisoning. He also took time to pose for pic-tures, signed autographs and signed “Emergency” memorabilia. His character on that show, “Johnny Gage,” was por-

trayed in a very positive light and provided cred-ibility for the paramedic profession and was one of the best marketing tools to enhance Emergency Medi-cal Services throughout this country, Wood said.In 1975, Mantooth said, his personal experience with carbon monoxide poisoning and his real life rescue by two paramedics that day led to his current campaign to make fire-fighters aware of the dan-gers of carbon monoxide

and to seek medical moni-toring and rehabilitation at fire scenes. His support has been ex-emplified by his service as the honorary chairman and spokesperson of the County of Los Angeles Fire Museum Association since 2005. The TV show, “Emergen-cy,” ran from 1972 to 1979. In addition to Mantooth, it starred Kevin Tighe, Julie London, Bobby Troup and Robert Fuller. It focuses on the day-to-date opera-tions of paramedics from Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 51. The award presented to Mantooth is inscribed with the Vince Lombardi quote; “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of en-deavor.”

BOCA RATON - The stu-dent baseball teams at Spanish River High School spend a portion of the year on the diamond.But they want to stay active all year long. So they’ll be leaving the base paths be-hind for a while in favor of working in the community.“The Spanish River baseball coaching staff and its teams are all committed to achiev-ing the highest standard of excellence for their players both on and off the field,” said Clif Matis, Booster Club president. That means achievement in the class-room, but also “participa-tion in the philanthropies and civic responsibility.”Their next foray into the community will take place Nov. 6 when the players take part in the “The Light the Night” walk-a-thon.

Spanish River High baseball players hope to go to bat for the community

Student player Matthew Poser is taking a lead role in this event, and is also pro-moting the team’s desire to take part in local activities. “I am proud to say that this year my team, the Spanish River Sharks, is expanding its reach to include commu-nity outreach! The coach-ing staff and the parents are committed to teaching us the importance of giving back,” he said in an email to the Boca Raton Tribune.“This Saturday, the Spanish River Sharks and I are par-ticipating in the ‘The Light the Night’ Walk-a-thon for the Leukemia and Lympho-ma Society.

Palm Tran, Palm Beach County’s public transportation agency, demonstrated consistent ridership gains for fiscal year 2010, setting several fixed-route ridership records, ac-cording to officials of the transportation authority.Annual ridership increased by more than 300,000 passenger trips from the previous year, as Palm Tran set a new record of 10,319,218 passengers, a 3.1 percent growth rate. Average weekday passenger trips set a monthly record of 37,737 in September, beating the previous record by more than 1,000. Average annual daily weekday ridership in FY-2010 also increased by 3.5 percent, establishing a new record.Nationally, public bus systems are reporting declines in the number of annual passenger trips, but this has not been the case in Palm Beach County. Palm Tran has been able to maintain high service levels through the support of the Board of County Commissioners and the work of the Palm Tran Service Board (PTSB).“I have watched Palm Tran and Palm Tran Connection grow by leaps and bounds,” said County Commission Chairman Burt Aaronson. “I am very proud of what we have achieved.”In each of the past two years, Palm Tran has carried more than 10 million passengers, the third time in the agency’s history. Officials at Palm Tran said Palm Beach County recognizes the importance of providing reliable and affordable public transportation for its residents.

BOCA RATON - The city is about to get what Mayor Susan Whelchel calls “the equivalent of a police offi-cer” 24/7 at five dangerous intersections in the city.On a sharply split vote at a recent meeting, the council voted 3-2 to approve the in-stallation of cameras to take a photo of red light runners. It will cost the offending driver $158 for the infraction

intersections, warning of the cameras, and noting that “fast” right turns are also a violation.When the vote came, Mayor Whelchel and Council mem-bers Mike Mullaugh and Constance Scott voted in fa-vor of the so-called “traffic infraction detectors.” Deputy Mayor Susan Haynie and Councilman Anthony Majhess voted against them.Chief Morley said the city studied various intersections

New incidents of an el-derly distraction scam - a fake acid spill - have been reported again in Florida, particularly South Flori-da, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Of-fice.Officials said PBSO has not worked any cases involv-ing this scam. The infor-mation being distributed is for awareness.PBSO said the target is usually an elderly female, and items stolen are usu-ally rings or bracelets being worn by the victim.According to the sheriff’s office, an unknown subject or subjects con their way

into a home, stating there’s a problem with the water quality or water pressure. He or they say are testing the system because a neigh-bor has a leak, or they are spraying for insects. Sometimes, two individu-als will gain entry. They will either bring their own glass or ask the target for a cup or glass, into which they will pour water and then will add Alka-Seltzer or some other bromide or color agent. They will then “acciden-tally” spill a liquid on the victim’s hands. The woman is told it is acid and that she should remove her jewelry

and wash her hands imme-diately, or she may be told to go flush all the toilets multiple times, or run the water. Sometimes they will ask for a glass of milk to soak the jewelry. While the victim is continually told to keep washing her hands, or running the water, the thieves pocket the jewelry & flee the scene.PBSO said targets of the crime may be followed home from stores like Cost-co, Wal-Mart, Publix, or a flea market.Anyone with information about this or other type of scam is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.

and came up with the five that are the worst. He said the number of “approaches” actually totals seven because the cameras will be set up eastbound and westbound at two of the crossroads.Intersections getting camer-as, the council decided, are:East and west approaches at NW 15th Avenue and Glades Road.•Northbound approach of St. Andrews Boulevard and Yamato Road.•Southbound approach of St. Andrews Boulevard and Glades Road.

•Eastbound approach to Clint Moore Road and Military Trail.• East and west approaches to St. Andrews Boulevard and Glades RoadMorley said the cameras can be moved to other intersec-tions, if the city desires.Actually, another red light runner camera has already been put up west of the city limits, at Palmetto Park and Powerline roads. That was done after the Board of County Commissioners ap-proved a red light runner camera.

Morley said the debate about whether getting caught on camera running a red light was a civil or statutory in-fraction was rendered moot July 1, 2010, when the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act went into effect. Wandall was killed by a car that went through a red light in 2003. Gov. Charlie Crist signed the legislation creating the law on May 13.Approval of the ordinance clears the way for the city to select a contractor to install the cameras. Morley said the entire system will not go on line until all the cameras are in. He said there will be 30-day grace period before cita-tions are issued.He noted there is an appeals process allowing drivers to sign an affidavit saying they were not driving or the car was stolen, among other ways of opting out of the ticket. Morley did say, how-ever, that the owner of the car is responsible for paying the citation. The $158 fine was set by the state.

Signs like this will warn Boca motorists of intersections where red light runner cameras have been installed. The signs will also say that a right turn on red faster than 11 mph is also an infraction.

My wife and I did two things this past Sunday that we are particularly proud of.One, we went to church, which is something we al-ways do. But this time, we actually got there early.The second thing we did which is not a weekly habit was to vote. It was the first time either one of us had taken part in the vote-early practice that only began here in Florida a few years ago.We knew that Election Day would likely be packed with voters trying to ex-press their opinions via bal-lot on the condition of the nation. We figured there wouldn’t be a long line on the final day of early voting – par-ticularly since the Hallow-een trick-or-treaters were just a few hours away.Wrong! The line wrapped around the building – and the parking lot was filled with candidate supporters -

Did you ever vote early? You’ve got to try itall of them the appropriate distance away, I assume.Well, we went to the end of the line and started to wait. (I’ll reveal the ending right now - it took us about two hours to cast our ballots and leave.)It actually wasn’t that bad. We got to talking with a couple in front of us who were also former New Englanders. So the time went by pretty fast. The sun moved in and out of the clouds, so sometimes it was comfortable and other times it was miserably hot.It’s too bad an enterpris-ing entrepreneur didn’t come by with cold drinks or snacks. We could have used them. And that busi-ness person would have made a bundle.You know, I heard people mildly complaining about the lengthy line, the heat and the time factor. But not one person left the line. They all wanted to cast their ballots for the election

that was to play out two days later.I know there has been a lot of rancor during this cam-paign. I think there was more mudslinging this year than any other time I can remember. I don’t recall too many positive ads. If “Joe Smith” was featured in a TV ad, it was not about Joe Smith, but a roster of all of Joe Smith’s oppo-nent’s bad traits. I heard words like “dangerous” and “liar” tossed around. Back in journalism school, we were taught that using words like that could lead to a lawsuit.I’m glad that’s over, but I’m cure that such acrimo-ny riled up voters enough to pack the polls and en-dure more than the usual voter should endure to get to the ballot box.My wife and I felt the same way. It was our duty as Americans to take part in the voting system. Certain-ly we have spent enough

time discussing between ourselves and with others the sorry state of the na-tion. I think our feelings were rubbed a little more raw than usual because in the past week, two homes in our neighborhood were foreclosed on. I saw an eviction notice on the door of one house.But the voting process went smoothly. I have to credit Supervisor of Elec-tions Susan Bucher with making the process work well.Let’s face it; Palm Beach County has had a lousy voting system for much of the past decade, from the “butterfly ballot” of 2000 through the touch-screen machines. I can’t tell you to go out and vote. I can just say I hope you did, either be-fore or on Tuesday. Let’s see if the results help our troubled nation.

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.

Life does not start at 40, nor at any other suggest-ed stage of a person’s de-velopment. Its beginning cannot be postponed by any personal decision! Fortunately, throughout the ages, the world has seen many young people who were more alive than others who, albeit much older chronologically, had allowed life to pass them by; they were alive only in the sense that their name had not yet appeared in any obituary.Yet, there’s much more to life than the mere ac-cumulation of days and years in the existence of any human. At any era of the history of humanity, one can find persons who “die” relatively young, even if their burial may

Don’t Wait to Start Living!only occur many years later.Life truly begins not at 20, 30, or 40, but once a person is gripped by an idea or ideal which begins to unfold and is brought to full realization. It may take years to happen but the steps toward its ful-filment already represent living at one’s best! Be ever mindful that in the ways of death one travels alone, while in the paths of life one is always accompanied! There are no exchanges nor substi-tutes for authentic living! To all who are truly seri-ous about life, direction can be found on how to enjoy it to the fullest, in perpetuity, never in dis-appointment but in total radiance and with the

assurance of additional happy surprises from un-expected sources, bring-ing abundant satisfac-tion! No one can ever be fulfilled with what only money can acquire; it’s only from nobler and more valid sources that one’s life may find its nurture, direction, and significance!Choose life, and its full-ness will gradually be ap-portioned to you; follow God’s blueprint to live it meaningfully in a world lacking in meaning; and anticipate the best in spite of the indignities constantly hurled at you! Never wait for another moment to start living; start living now!

It’s a little hard to believe that the 2010 campaign season is finally over.It’s actually been several days and we haven’t turned on the television to see one candidate attacking anoth-er. There was just too, too much of that this year.It’s time for all of us to take some time to let the results of Tuesday’s bal-loting sink it. People are calling this year’s elec-tion historic. Apparently, such a massive win by one political party has either never happened before, or hasn’t happened in a cen-tury or more.Even before the election, people seemed to know that something dramatic was in the wind. Too many people didn’t like the way things were going and that was reflected in many polls. Soon, it will be time for the Republicans to make good on what they have been telling us all year long. If the Republicans don’t – or can’t -- make things better – as they have promised – then they won a lot of seats for nothing. We, as citizens, must hold their feet to the fire and make sure they don’t re-peat some of the past mis-takes that have plagued

It’s time to give some thought to the results of Tuesday’s general election

government.There are issues that have either been overlooked or ignored. Unemployment is still a major problem. Small businesses need incentives to grow. The health care reform is like-ly to be changed in some fashion, if not tossed out entirely.It’s up to us to stay in touch with our new political leaders to tell them what we want. They have been telling us all year long that they want to represent the people. They have to stick to their word.We want to congratulate Allen West for his victory in U.S. House District 22. We’re anxious to see the new ideas he’ll be bringing to that seat.Also, congratulations to Bill Hager for winning the House District 87 race. He seems like the right person to follow Adam Hasner, who, unquestionably, has been one of the most ef-fective, active and busy representatives in Talla-hassee. We wish Adam well in whatever endeavor he tries.It’s good to see Irv Slos-berg back in the House District 90 seat, the one he held from 2000 to 2006. We know he’s been

anxious to get back into the political arena where he seems to feel the most comfortable.And Ellyn Bogdanoff de-serves credit for winning the State Senate 25 seat. As we got to know her bet-ter this year, we saw the potential she has devel-oped.And a word to Jack Fur-nari, our good friend and local political activist. Take some time off. Slow down, and enjoy being with your family.

Holiday trimmings

Watch next week’s Boca Raton Tribune for more specifics on the rules for the holiday house decorat-ing contest we’ll be spon-soring this year.It probably won’t kick off until after Thanksgiving, but we want everyone to know the regulations be-fore the holiday season gets too close.We want everyone to take part, to make the season truly bright. There will be prizes in various catego-ries. So start rummaging through the garage now for those lights, wreaths, me-norahs and other decora-tions. We’ll let you know more next week.

More than 400 attend Pink Ribbon Luncheon for South Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure

for the Komen South Flor-ida Affiliate in our mission to eradicate breast cancer forever.”In addition to Duber-man, this year’s commit-tee members were: event Co-Chair Kathleen Bo-cek, Barbara Shashoua, Haddassah Yuster, Gary Pyott, Penni Fromm, Nina Greenfield, Eileen Gerstel, Francine Miller, Hermaine Raimi, Joanne Applebaum and Marc Zum Tobel. Lisa and Bob Marton, resi-dents of Woodfield, were honorary chairs of this year’s luncheon and breast cancer education seminar. Lisa is one of five subjects of the book, Previvors, written by Dina Roth Port, also a Woodfield resident. In Lisa’s case, the book documents the decisions and struggles she faced in

her attempt to pre-empt breast cancer, a disease that claimed her mother and grandfather. The Martons shared their moving story with luncheon guests as a family affected by breast cancer. Event sponsors included Braman Motorcars Palm Beach (Presenting Spon-sor), The Continental Group, Titan International Security Services, Inc., Event Studio Productions, Lisa and Mark Delevie,

Lisa and Robert Marton, The Marton Bute Marcus Wealth Management Group of Merrill Lynch, The Re-gency Collection and Life Publications.Seventy-five percent of the event proceeds will stay in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties while the remaining 25 percent will go to cutting edge national breast cancer research. Funds are used for outreach and education, mammo-grams, diagnostic tests and

treatment for the medically underserved. Komen for the Cure was named the No. 1 most valu-able non-profit brand and the charity people are most likely to donate to, accord-ing to the recent 2010 rank-ings of non-profit organiza-tions from global market research firm Harris Inter-active. Komen also ranked second among the most trusted non-profit organi-zations in America, behind St. Jude Research Hospi-tal. The rankings examined 1,151 organizations. Nancy G. Brinker prom-ised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise be-came Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer move-ment.

“You came to kill me” are the first words heard in “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” as hero Lis-beth Salander (Noomi Ra-pace) lies in a hospital bed, bruised and swathed in bandages, emerging from a coma.The statement is pretty much the essence of all three parts of the Millen-nium Trilogy by the late Swedish author Stieg Lars-son. Professional computer hacker Lisbeth was abused by her father as a child, and she retaliated by trying to set him on fire at age 12. For poor Lisbeth it is kill or be killed.Since her violent incident with dad, Lisbeth has been in and out of mental insti-tutions, and under the care of dubious guardians who have abused her further.No wonder Lisbeth dis-trusts and dislikes men in general.There is one notable ex-ception: Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), a cru-sading investigative jour-nalist at Millennium maga-

‘Girl Who Kicked Hornet’s Nest’ wraps up Swedish millennium trilogy

zine. In installment one, “Girl with the Dragon Tat-too,” Lisbeth helped Mi-kael uncover a half-centu-ry old Nazi plot involving mutilation and murder of women, and in the course of their investi-gation they had a torrid fling.“Dragon Tat-too” remains my favorite of the Millennium trilogy because it combined mystery, sus-pense, blis-tering action and hot May-December ro-mance. In part two, “The Girl Who Played With Fire,” Lisbeth took center stage to be-come kind of an avenging feminist supergirl. As a result of her desperate al-tercations, she has a bullet in her head and two other parts of her body, and at age 27 she is accused of three counts of murder.In this final installment, Mikael moves back to

center stage as Lisbeth’s steadfast defender and protector, though feisty Lisbeth hardly needs to lean on any man for sup-port. Her conscientious Dr. Jonasson (Askel Morisse)

does his best to shield her from police and bag guys alike while she is helpless.The Millennium series has made a star of Lisbeth Sa-lander, a thin, slight, dark-haired beauty who does martial arts moves with a ballerina’s grace.The problem with “Hor-net’s Nest” is that it is much more static than ei-ther of the earlier chapters, and it is bogged with plot

Scene from “The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest”

details that clutter its two hours-plus length under the direction of Daniel Alfredson.The person who must be killed is Lisbeth’s purely evil father, Russian immigrant Alexander Zalachenko (Georgi Staykov). Zalachenko revels in his own evil, and he is contemptuous of anyone who thinks he can be defeated.On that account there is some satisfying closure regarding the fate of Za-lachenko, but there are oodles of other bad guys who must be dispatched

by Ms. Salander.Paramount among these is Niedermann (Micke Spreitz), a hulking platinum-haired gi-ant who just happens to be Lisbeth’s half-brother. Other nasties include crooked psy-chiatrist Dr. Peter Teleborian (Anders Ahlbon), and Evert Gullberg (Hans Alfredson) and Fredrik Clinton (Lennart Hjulstrom), former heads of the shadowy, sinister “Sec-tion” political faction.Once Lisbeth regains her health and readies to face the music in court with her com-passionate lawyer, Mikhail’s sister Annika Giannini (Annika Hallin), she struts her all-black colors, teases her hair into a Mohawk, and re-inserts all the hardware into her various piercings in defiance of courtly decorum.Plot threads tie up a little too neatly in this finale, but it still has action, intrigue and style. I cringe to think what is in store when this series is remade in the USA with American actors, so catch the real thing while you can.

FOOD REVIEWBy Marc Kent


The Cove at 1645 SE Third Court (The Cove Shop-ping Center in Deerfield) 954-421-9272 is a 34 year old bar and restaurant with a menu that’s being updat-ed as of this writing.We found 22 items listed as “appetizers and small plates”,decided to sample only 4. The nice size por-tion of seared tuna had lit-tle taste, needing both the wasabi and ponzu sauce to bring out flavor. Six nice sized braised beef ravioli were rich and hearty with root vegetables plus asiago and parmesan cheeses in a fine red wine reduction. Escargot – out of shell – mild tasting needed rich butter/garlic desperately. The cap of melted provolo-ne had little taste and there was too much of it. The winners in this category were the wild mushroom toasts – shitake mush-rooms, olive oil, shallots with thyme and parsley, topped with grated par-mesan on sliced baguettes – superb! One of our fa-vorites – calamari – served with a marinara sauce was perfection. Breaded rings were crispy with full flavor with or without the sauce. A hugh portion that’s one of the best!Three soups are listed. The lobster and shrimp bisque

The Cove – Waterfront Diningwas rich and smooth, very tasty. The Bahamian conch chowder with a splash of sherry, a slightly sweet yet spicy concoction – excel-lent taste that lingers on the palate. Lastly, the New England clam chowder – rich, chunky pieces of clam in thick broth – our favorite. A must try!We sampled two of the eight salads featured. But-ternut squash and pears with shallots and pecans over greens needed the spicy pecans vinaigrette to make it work. The crab avocado salad with can-died pecans, baby tomato and grilled pineapple was a great idea but there was very little to the crab – too much mayo. The crab fla-vor was missing.“Seafood” entrees were eleven in number. We chose seared scallops with pineapple soy sauce, jas-mine rice and vegetables. The pan seared sea scallops were weak and flavorless. The coconut shrimp – very heavily breaded in coco-nut needed the nice colada sauce to become a flavor-ful mouthful. The broiled seafood platter consisted of nice shrimp and scal-lops plus a lightly breaded filet of sole that was dainty and delicious plus a couple of oysters Rockefeller-

wonderful treat. The best was seafood Jambalaya with shrimp, chicken, smoked sausage simmered in a very spicy Cajun broth plus mixed vegetables and white rice. If you like a dish with spice and great flavor- this is it!While the “Landlubber” section had nine offer-ings – we elected to try the Cove’s favorite for locals. The Danish baby backs were unfortunately tasteless though the BBQ sauce they were bathed in was quite good. Next time we’ll check out the other beef, pork and chicken items listed therein.Desserts – a half dozen choices made it difficult to decide but we lucked out with a homemade key lime pie – don’t remember having any better – try it, you’ll love it. Love, for chocoholics, comes in the form of the Cove’s tux-edo bombe – chocolate genoise, white, milk and dark chocolate mousse with a chocolate ganache coating – so rich but not cloying – great!The Cove, a family owned restaurant, seats up to 400 diners, both inside and waterfront from 11AM to 10PM daily, Fridays to 11PM.

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

Question: Six months ago, I was referred to a sole prac-titioner, divorce lawyer in Boca Raton. During the course of a week, I talked to her over the phone three times about my case. We discussed the issues in de-tail. She did not bill me for her time. We discussed the marital facts and the personal pro-blems that my husband and I had been having, and my suspicions of his having an ongoing extramarital affair. We did not get into the fine details of the financial as-pects, but did discuss our incomes, and his business history, and an inheritance that I would soon receive. We discussed custody is-sues, including the possibil-ity of keeping the children in Catholic education, through high school, and making sure that I could get my hus-band to pay for it, and for tutoring one of the children. As the result of those dis-cussions, I decided that I really liked the attorney, but that I was not yet ready to go ahead with the divorce. While the lawyer did not charge for her time, she told me her hourly rate and re-tainer requirements, and I told her that I would be call-ing her back, when I made up my mind. I was a bit shocked yes-terday when I was served with my husband’s divorce papers signed by the same

lawyer that I had talked to six month ago. My husband denies that he knew that I had talked to the lawyer, but I believe that it was too coincidental. I may have left her card in my purse. He is not above looking through my things. I called the lawyer to com-plain, but her secretary said she could not talk to me, because she represented my husband, but I was told that she had no recollection of our conversation, and no notes. This does not seem fair, can she represent my husband, or is she disquali-fied?

Answer: Under the Flor-ida Bar’s recently passed rule 4-1.18, entitled Du-ties to Prospective Client, your husband may have to choose new counsel. A “Prospective Client” is a person who discusses the possibility of forming an attorney-client relationship with respect to a prospec-tive matter. Even when no client-lawyer relationship is finalized, and no fees are paid, a lawyer who has dis-cussions with a prospective client shall not use or reveal information learned in that consultation, unless the two parties agree, in writing. Under limited circumstanc-es, another attorney at the initial lawyer’s firm could represent your husband, but here there is no other at-

torney available. It is quite possible that the attorney had no recollection of your calls, and made no notes, but that would not make a difference. She should have entered your name and that of her husband into her con-flict log, a list of clients and prospective clients and their mates, and then run a cross-check when you called, and when your husband called. There have been a few re-ported instances when a wealthy person planning a divorce tried to intention-ally conflict out many of the well known divorce lawyers in the community, by investing in paid confe-rences with several of them. If this can be proven, that person may have waived the privilege usually given those conversations by his or her fraudulent intent. From your question it does not appear that you had such intent. If the lawyer you describe will not withdraw from the matter, after receiving a letter from you or from the lawyer you decide to hire, a motion can be made to have the judge in your case disqualify the attorney. A grievance may be filed against the offending law-yer. For additional information, call The Florida Bar Ethics’ Hotline at The Florida Bar headquarters in Tallahas-see.

This is the fifth in a series con-sidering the issue of “God” and his existence. In my own personal search regard-ing the existence of God, this argument, often referred to as the teleological argument, was the strongest. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) implic-itly confirmed the validity of this argument when he wrote, “This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and com-ets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.” The argument sim-ply goes like this: (1) Every design has a de-signer. (2) The universe has a highly complex design.(3) Therefore, the universe has a Designer.Dr. John Cleveland Cothran, a mathematician and chem-ist: “If you think strongly enough, you will be forced by science to believe in God... the discovery of atomic struc-ture has now revealed that in all these examples of chemi-cal behavior definite laws prevail, not haphazardness or chance... each atom of every one of the 102 elements con-sists of exactly the same three kinds of electrical particles: protons (positive), electrons (negative), and neutrons... so that all the millions of differ-ent kinds of substances, both elements and compounds, simplify down to three kinds of electrical particles which, in turn, appear to be only dif-ferent forms of the one pri-mary entity, electricity, which finally, may be only a form or

attribute or manifestation of the ultimate in simplicity: en-ergy... the material universe is unquestionably one of system and order, not chaos; of laws, not chance and hap-hazards.” (“The Inescapable Conclusion,” The Evidence of God in an Expanding Uni-verse, John Clover Monsma, pp. 37-41)Time will not permit us to consider the literally thou-sands of examples of com-plexity and design that may be observed from the small-est atom to the largest celes-tial blob (made up of galax-ies and large bubbles of gas), but permit me to mention one more. Our planet, earth, has highly precise and in-terdependent environmental conditions called “anthrop-ic” constants, that are so ex-tremely fine tuned to support life here on earth, that if any where changed or altered that life here would become impossible.1. Oxygen levels- Oxygen comprises 21% of the atmo-sphere. If it were 25%, fires would erupt spontaneously; if it were 15%, human beings would suffocate.2. Atmospheric Transpar-ency- If it were less trans-parent, not enough solar radiation would reach the earth’s surface. If it were more transparent, we would be bombarded with far too much radiation.3. Moon-Earth Gravitational Interaction- If it were greater than it currently is, tidal ef-fects on the oceans, atmo-sphere and rotational period

would be too great. If it were less, orbital changes would cause climatic instabilities.4. Carbon Dioxide Levels- If CO2 levels were higher than it is now, we would have a runaway greenhouse effect. If it was lower than it is now, plants would not be able to maintain efficient photosynthesis. (I have listed 4 of these constants, while at present over 100 of these an-thropic constants have been listed by Hugh Ross in his book “Why I Believe in Di-vine Creation.”)Dr. A. Cressy Morrison, a physician and former presi-dent of the New York State Academy of Science stated: “We have found that the world is in the right place, that the crust is adjusted to within ten feet, and that if the ocean were a few feet deeper we would have no oxygen or vegetation. We have found the earth rotates in twenty-four hours and that were this revolution delayed, life would be impossible. If the speed of the earth around the sun were increased or de-creased materially, this histo-ry of life, if any, would be en-tirely different... Considering the bulk of the earth, its place in space and the nicety of the adjustments, the chances of some of the adjustments oc-curring is in the order of one to a million, and the chances of all of them occurring can-not be calculated even in the billions...” (Man Does Not Stand Alone: Cressy Morri-son, pp. 94,95)

BOCA RATON - Florida Atlantic University’s Col-lege of Business and pre-senting sponsor, BankA-tlantic, are hosting the 20th annual Business Leader of the Year awards break-fast on Friday, January 28, 2011, at the Boca Raton Resort & Club.

country’s largest automo-tive retailer, selling over 400,000 units each year and servicing over 5 mil-lion vehicles. Even during the economic recession, AutoNation, under Jack-son’s leadership, managed to post solid financial re-sults.Jackson has received nu-merous leadership awards including the Automotive Hall of Fame in February 1994. The Hall of Fame’s President Jeffrey Leetma said that Jackson’s “lea-dership at AutoNation is significant not only in the sheer volumes of units de-livered but in raising the bar in all areas of the cus-tomer experience.” Sponsorship for the event includes a corporate table and event admission at the Boca Raton Resort & Club.

Our bodies are 67% water. Every time I read this I run to grab another bottle of wa-ter and drink it all! So how much water do we really need each day to be at our healthiest, our best looking, and to promote healthy lon-gevity? We are totally dependant on water; ALL bodily functions require water. Keeping your-self hydrated enables timely and efficient functioning to occur. Dehydration is one of the most common causes of fatigue…even mild dehydra-tion can cause fatigue. It is estimated that almost 66% of Americans are mildly or chronically dehydrated. Too often water is replaced by other beverages - many laden with sugars, calories and of little or no value nu-tritionally. This is especially true with today’s young people. The generations that grew up with soda pop have turned to caffeine laden drinks such as designer cof-fees and teas, sport and ener-gy drinks-everything except plain water-whenever they have a thirst. These diuretic drinks actually drain the body of fluids creating a loss rather than a gain in body water content. Our metabolism is a chemi-cal process involving ener-gy; by drinking more water we can increase our metabo-

lic rate. In turn, this increase in metabolism will increase calories burned. Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hun-ger. You may feel cravings and think food when your body actually is requiring water. The next time you have a craving for food, try a glass of water instead. In a few minutes, you might find your hunger is gone. In fact, a new scientific study found that middle-aged and older adults who drank two cups of water before each meal consumed fewer calories and lost more weight. Most people require 64 ounces of water daily. Those exercising, doing strenuous work, and living in areas with high temperatures should consider drinking even mo-re. If you are dieting it is im-portant to drink more water throughout the day. When exercising drinking addi-tional water will help keep your energy levels up. You could even try adding some flavor enhancer - a squeeze of lemon, a few drops of orange extract, or any num-ber of flavor extracts avail-able…tea without sugar is acceptable too. Eating fruits and vegetables high in wa-ter content will also provide fluids and, in addition, will fill your stomach while sup-plying your body with addi-tional vitamins and minerals

without unwanted calories. A healthy diet will always include foods high in water content. Some of the additional be-nefits of proper water in-take include improved skin tone, appetite regulation and higher energy levels. It helps in reducing cholesterol and regulating blood pressure. It may even reduce the occur-rence of headaches, decrease joint pain, and decrease the risk of developing kidney stones while helping to rid toxic wastes from the body. A word of caution: Don’t go overboard! Electrolyte balances can be reduced by over consumption of water. Low levels of potassium, magnesium and sodium can be harmful. Adding a vita-min/mineral supplement to your diet will help counte-ract this. People with kidney problems or other conditions requiring the limiting of fluid intake should consult with their doctor for advice on correct amounts to drink. So you can see that drinking the proper amount of water every day has multiple ben-efits. Water is readily avail-able, free of calories and a natural way to help maintain health and well being. Make sure you are getting enough.

Until next time, Love, Oleda

PET OF THE WEEK

MY PET

DOG TALK WITH UNCLE MATTY

Fright Night, All Saints Eve, All Hallows Eve, Pooky Night. Whatever you call it, wherever you are, when it comes to the rituals and customs of Hal-loween, all dogs are not created equal. Some dogs are hams -the ASPCA said it first: “Please don’t put your dog or cat in a costume unless you know he or she loves it (yup, a few pets are real hams!). For pets who prefer their ‘birthday suits,’ however, wearing a costume may cause undue stress.” That’s not all a costume on the wrong pet - or the wrong costume on a pet -could cause. Allergic re-action, skin irritation, im-paired mobility, obstructed breathing or any other form of sensory depriva-tion is good reason to skip the costume. And let’s not even get into the issue of damaged pride. Dress your dog as a cat? Those scars could last a lifetime.On the other end of the personality spectrum is the fraidy cat. Fearful, shy,

Fraidy Cats and Hams on Fright Nighttimid or nervous, these dogs are best kept safely away from the festivities. Your fraidy cat should spend Fright Night inside the house, in a secure room that’s a reassuring distance from the front door and all the action.And a few tips apply across the board:- When answering the door to trick-or-treaters, take extra precaution to make sure your dog doesn’t pull a Houdini and escape. Keep him on a leash, or use a baby gate to secure him in an area of the house away from the door.- If your dog isn’t in the habit of wearing his ID tags, there’s no better night for him to sport that jew-elry. See the bullet point above for further explana-tion.- Your dog may do tricks, but paws off the treats. Candy, particularly choco-late and that containing xylitol, is toxic to dogs. Ingestion of these sweets may lead to organ dam-age and lingering health

problems, or even death. If you suspect your dog has eaten something toxic, im-mediately call your vet or the Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435.- Beware the jack-o’-lan-tern. Wagging tails and candles don’t mix.- Keep candy wrappers, decorations and cords out of reach.- And while I always ad-vocate keeping dogs inside at night, I believe it to be of the utmost importance on Halloween weekend. Some people’s idea of a good time is truly scary. Don’t let your dog fall into the wrong hands.Woof!

The Bobcats played hard but fell 9 short, Atlantic High Eagles 21-13. Boca came in with the intent to ruin Atlantic’s senior night but failed.With a quick lead in the first quarter by David Bicknell’s field goal, the Bobcats start-ed out good, but soon after Senior J’Rod Beard for the Atlantic caught and ran the

ball for a 50-yard touch down to take a 7-3 lead. Soon after Tevin Spells ran a 41-yard touchdown mid-way through the first quar-ter to bring the lead to 14-3. Eventually, the Bobcats were able to score a field goal in the second to bring the score to 14-6 and bring some momentum for Boca, but on the next offensive drive running back Mar-cus Gaskins ran the ball for 80-yards on one play scoring a touchdown that brought them ahead 21-6. The game went scoreless until Keith Byars ran in for an 11-yard touchdown to bring the game to 21-13. With momentum, Boca High forced a fumble with less than 2 minutes left to play but turned the ball over on downs. The Boca High Bobcats travel to Park Vista next Friday.

With the festivities and tailgating going on at Lockhart Stadium, stu-dents from both FAU and FIU were getting geared up for the kickoff. The Owls came in domi-nating the series 7-1 in wins and looking for anoth-er score as they planned to beat their rivals the Golden Panthers. Apparently, the Golden Panthers had the same thought as they were being hard on themselves with 4 turnovers through-out the game. FAU got rushing touch-downs from both Alfred Morris and Willie Floyd without giving up a touch-down themselves. Lester Jean also got a receiving touchdown while posting 114 yards on 8 receptions. The Owls won in the turn-over department and in the time of possession area as well. The Owls took a 7-6 lead into half-time as the FIU scored a pair of field

goals from their kicker Jack Griffin. FAU posted a touchdown late in the second to gain the lead. But then FIU took a small lead in the third 9-7 with another field goal. The Owls would go down the field and score a touch-down going 14-9. The Panthers had a chance to take the lead back but were stopped on 4th and 1 in the red zone. The Panthers then began hurting their chances as the interceptions were add-ing up. The Owls punched in another score adding up with a dominating lead 21-9 by the standards of the particular game. The Owls now improved to (2-5), (1-3) on the season and finally got their first Sun Belt win and another inter-conference game against Western Kentucky Hill toppers.

I can’t tell you how disap-pointed I am in the powers to be at The Masters Golf Championship. They’ve ruined my favorite golf tournament. I’m quite cer-tain that Bobby Jones is turning in his grave!The Master’s has cho-sen to lengthen their golf course to the point that 90% of the field doesn’t have a prayer in compet-ing for the opening major championship of the 2006 season. I grant you that Master’s officials certainly should have concern for their championship be-ing won by a score like 22 under par. Compared to the US Open, known for its difficult conditions making even par a winner score again, the Masters at Augusta National with its wide rolling fairways and light rough became out-dated in today’s long ball hitting environment.The same long hitting line-up is hitting it long at the US Open too but it’s not just the length that’s caus-ing the higher scores. It’s the super fast greens and tight fairways with con-siderable rough that makes it very difficult for any player to reach the green in regulations once in deep rough’s grasp.At the Player’s Champion-ship we watched the best PGA touring profession-als in the business agonize over a par three of only 123 yards. What made the Masters committee decide that only a 240 yard par three could tame today’s

Add a vicious intimidat-ing rough that would make even the longest hitters reach for their 1 iron or a three wood to not risk hitting their drive in the rough and lose a stroke, (or maybe even your ball) to a deep club swallowing hazard.Not only would the scores go up but at the same time you would bring more players into contention and in my estimation bring out the best ball strikers not just the long knockers.Doesn’t NASCAR do the same thing?

The contribution of the body to the golf swing has been over emphasized for years. I guess one reason for this fact is that body po-sitions were easy to point out in a golf magazine. Problem is, the over use of the body or excess body motion continues to be the killer of the golf swing for many a golfer, holding them back from their true potential. The biggest killer by far is the starting of your down-swing with your shoul-ders. The body has such a small territory to cover in the downswing while the arms have so far to travel that you MUST start your downswing with your arms or you will travel over the top on your downswing causing you to pull the ball and more importantly re-lease the power angle cre-ated at the top of your back-swing too early. Another by product of start-ing your shoulders first on the downswing is swinging on too steep a plane during your approach to the golf ball. You can get away with swinging a little steep with a wedge up to a seven iron. Once you get in to the lon-

Swing Like A Pirate. Use Your ARRRRRMS!

ger clubs you need to get the arms going first so the club shallows out on the approach.The lie angle on a wedge (the lie angle is a measure-ment from the center of the shaft to the ground in degrees) would be about 64 degrees. On a driver the lie angle is 55 degrees. All clubs are swung on plane, being the shaft angle at ad-dress and every golf club has it’s own plane. The lon-ger the golf club the flatter or more shallow the plane. To get the longer clubs to shallow out you need to start your arms earlier on the down swing. You may feel a little flat or rounded on your swing with a driver but that’s a good thing. A perfect exam-ple of what I’m saying here is Sergio Garcia. He starts the arms down early about as well as anyone has since Ben Hogan did. Ben Hogan described his downswing as like pulling an arrow out of a quiver. Tiger Woods says his down swing feels like his arms are falling out of the sky in front of his chest. Al Geiberger said the downswing was like ringing a bell. They are all saying the same thing, get your arms going first in the

downswing. Take a look at Jim Furyk. You may think he has a fun-ny swing but watch how he drops his arms first on the down swing. Many a golf-er like Jim Furyk, (Tony Lema, Lee Trevino, Freddy Couples) swing steep on the back swing so they can fall to a shallow position on the downswing. It is a lot easier to fall down to the plane rather than rise up to it. Taking the golf club back low and behind you might cause you to swing steep on the down swing because you need to turn your shoulders first to get the golf club out in front of you to get to the golf ball.Pretend like you’re facing 12 o’clock while at the ad-dress position. Then take your club to the top of the backswing. Pick your head up an look at the 2 o’clock position. Hold that position in your chest and head and start pumping the golf club down with your arms hold-ing the body perfectly still. That’s the feeling you need to get the arms going first. Another great drill is to put a stick in the ground about three feet high and one foot outside your back foot and even with the golf ball. Try to put the stick in the ground at the same angle as the shaft on your golf club. Take the golf club back outside the stick and bring it down to the ball inside the stick. Whatever drill you use get your arms going first!

CRANK UP THE HEAT

When Miami traded Mi-chael Beasley for a second round pick on July 10, 2010 I couldn’t help but laugh at it. No, not because I didn’t like Beasley, but at the fact that Miami traded the player who at one point was thought to be the “savior” of an ailing franchise. Back when the Heat was 15-67 Miami fans couldn’t wait for the draft to come around so we could pick our new savior, the one who with Wade, would bring the Heat out of the ashes and make the Heat a relevant team once again. Well, that didn’t happen. The only reason Miami was relevant again was because of the re-birth of Dwyane Wade. Let me be perfectly clear with you, I was never sold on Michael Beasley. Yes, he was a terrific college player, but some players are just that, terrific col-lege players. When he came out of Kansas State after only one year I was a little hesitant at the fact that Mi-ami was going to draft this kid. Because let’s face it, a 19 year old kid isn’t ex-actly what Miami needed. There has only been a hand-ful of players that come in to the NBA in their teens and make a difference and I wasn’t sold Beasley was going to be one of them. The irony of the story is, our 2nd round pick Mario Chalmers, played all 82 games that season and Bea-sley was a bench warmer that came in with the second

The Tale of Michael Beasleyteam. As I said be-fore, he put

up pretty b a d

numbers for a second overall

draft pick with 13 points, and 5 re-

bounds while he av-eraged 26 points and

12 rebounds as a Kansas State Wildcat.I gave him the benefit of the doubt and was looking forward to his second sea-son in the Heat uniform. I was so pumped for it that I decided to buy his jer-sey… (Anyone want to buy it off me?) Heat great Udonis Haslem had been the star-ting power forward for the Miami Heat for as long as I can remember, but in the 2009 season, Haslem gave way for Beasley to start in his place. He started 78 games in his second season, and his averages were a lit-tle better, Beasley averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game; an astonishing one point increase from his

rookie season. Beasley was never a good fit in Miami. Pat Riley fi-nally realized that on July 10, 2010 when the Miami Heat signed LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and re-signed Dwyane Wade. Beasley was traded to the Minneso-ta Timberwolves for a 2011

and 2014 second-round draft picks.One of the main reasons

Beasley was never go-ing to be a good

fit in Miami is the fact that he is pretty bad in the defensive end. He never ran back to defense, he looked lost in most of the defensive rota-tions when he was on the court and that caused him to lose focus in the offence as well. Beasley was a double-double machine in college but in the NBA not so much. I expect nothing but suc-cess to Michael as he takes his talents to Minnesota. He still has the potential of be-ing a great player but that was never going to have happened in Miami where he would have rotted on the bench behind LeBron, Bosh and Haslem. Timberwolf Beasley is already showing flashes of what an amazing player he can be with an av-erage of 15 points per game and 7 rebounds. He had a game of 21 points and 10 rebounds, something that took him a while to get in Miami. So here’s to you Michael Beasley, prove me wrong, become the best player in the NBA with the Timberwolves and show Heat fans, like myself, that we are wrong for writing you off.
