Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Volunteer group has played vital role in origin, growth of Boca Regional Hospital

BOCA RATON – It was in April of 1962 that Debra Ann and James Ran-dall Drummond, children of well-known Boca Raton residents Gloria and Robert Drummond, died after being accidentally poisoned by a

neighbor’s child. With no hospital in

Boca Raton at that time, the Drummond’s tragedy spurred a groundswell of concern by local residents for creation of a medical fa-cility in the rapidly growing

city.In September 1962, 351

civic-minded residents gath-ered to charter an organiza-tion whose mission would be to raise funds for the hospi-tal and subsequently serve as the institution’s volunteer

arm. Out of devastating per-

sonal loss and pressing community need, the Deb-bie-Rand Memorial Service League was created. And so, too, were the fundraising seeds sown that would even-tually result in the creation of what is now known as Boca Raton Regional Hos-pital. It opened its doors as Boca Raton Community Hospital in 1967.

September of 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the Debbie-Rand Memo-rial Service League, an orga-nization which has contrib-uted more than $30 million to the hospital during the last half-century.

“From very humble be-ginnings, the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League has grown into a critically important component of Boca Regional,” said Deb-bie Leising, current presi-dent of the D-RMSL. “The contributions we have made

financially and through vol-unteer support of the daily operations of the hospital have played a significant role not only in the building of the institution but also in its evolution to a preeminent, regional referral medical center.”

With a current active roster of nearly 1,200 indi-viduals, the D-RMSL con-stitutes one of the largest hospital-based volunteer or-ganizations in the nation. In the past five decades, League volunteers have given nearly eight million hours of ser-vice to the Hospital and the patients it serves.

The League maintains a host of initiatives, such as its well-known Thrift Shop and the Hospital Gift shop, which generate funds to sup-port Boca Regional.

The League also coordi-nates all volunteer services. Men, women and teenage volunteers are assigned to more than

Boca Police Safety Tip

Boca Raton Police Blotter

Q: I keep having a problem with people cutting through my back-yard. I have a fence, but it doesn’t seem to stop them. Do you have any suggestions?

A: In your case, the answer can be found in nature, hostile vegeta-tion that is. There are a myriad of plants, Spanish Bayonet, Crown of Thorns and Bougainvillea to name a few, that when planted as a barrier (in front of windows or fences) will dissuade even the most determined person. These plants also make beautiful additions to any yard. Con-sult your local garden center to determine which plants best suits your needs.

By Dale King and Julia HebertBOCA RATON – The weather wasn’t

ideal the night of Friday, Sept. 21, but more than 100 trolley “tourists” enjoyed visiting area restaurants and tasting specially pre-pared food and drink during the Boca Raton Historical Society’s second annual Toasts, Tastes & Trolleys fund-raiser.

The crowd gathered for a champagne and hors d’oeuvres reception at the Boca Raton Resort & Club’s Beach Club at 900 South Ocean Boulevard. They then boarded trol-leys that embarked to the Spaniard Restau-rant in Boca Raton, 50 Ocean atop Boston’s in Delray Beach and then back to Mizner Park in Boca Raton, where the “tourists” visited two adjoining eating and drinking places, the Dubliner and Kapow. The evening concluded at the Beach Club with dessert and dancing.

Mother Nature rained on the trolley pa-rade as it left the Beach Club, but the pre-cipitation finally ebbed, making way for some high humidity. The trolleys, however, were equipped with cold beverages for the tour.

Committee members spent the summer working on this event to ensure a variety of

restaurants and scenes. The committee was chaired by Dawn Zook and Lindy Harvey, and members included: Denise Alman, Lisa Vander Ploeg, Kathy Qualman, Elizabeth Ragland, and Diane Robertson.

“Toasts, Tastes & Trolleys provided a wonderful opportunity for a group of friends to get together. Everyone enjoyed the cama-raderie and special food and drinks at each location. And the fun benefits the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum,” stated Mary Csar, its executive director.

Event sponsors included Madelyn Savar-ick, who sponsored two trolleys in honor of her 89th birthday; the Boca Raton Resort & Club, E.M. Lynn Foundation, 1st United Bank, George Brown and Linda Davidson, Robert G. Campbell, Fairman & Associates, Florida IBM Club, Vander Ploeg & Associ-ates, Dr. and Mrs. Steven Alman, Flossy Keesely, Paradise Bank, and Rick and Kathy Qualman.

Toasts, Tastes & Trolleys is the Histori-cal Society’s major fall fundraiser. Proceeds will fund its programs for the community: children’s history programs, history tours

and lectures, care of the historic collections, historic preservation efforts in the communi-ty and the maintenance and repair of Town

Hall, the F.E.C. Railway Station, Count de Hoernle Pavilion and the rail cars of the Boca Express Train Museum.

Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League Celebrates 50th AnniversaryVolunteer group has played vital role in origin, growth of Boca Regional Hospital

September of 2012 marks the 50th an-niversary of the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League, an organization which has contributed more than $30 million to the hospital during the last half-century.

“From very humble beginnings, the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League has grown into a critically important compo-nent of Boca Regional,” said Debbie Leis-ing, current president of the D-RMSL. “The contributions we have made financially and through volunteer support of the daily op-erations of the hospital have played a sig-nificant role not only in the building of the institution but also in its evolution to a pre-eminent, regional referral medical center.”

The League maintains a host of initia-tives, such as its well-known Thrift Shop and the Hospital Gift shop, which generate funds to support Boca Regional.

The League also coordinates all volun-teer services. Men, women and teenage vol-unteers are assigned to more than 60 areas such as patient units, waiting and treatment

areas and emergency department. “In my 25 years as a healthcare execu-

tive, I have never witnessed such a robust and productive volunteer program,” said Jerry Fedele, president and CEO of Boca Re-gional. “The Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League is one of the most distinguishing fac-ets of our Hospital and a shining example of the material difference volunteerism can make in so many ways.”

BOCA RATON -- Lynn University, one of the 270 schools listed in the national universities category in U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 “Amer-ica’s Best Colleges” rankings, again found itself atop the list for having one of the highest percentages of interna-tional students in the nation.

With 18 percent of Lynn’s student body hailing from 80 countries around the world, Lynn ranked fourth for hav-ing the highest percentage of interna-tional students. Only The New School, Florida Institute of Technology and Illinois Institute of Technology had higher numbers than Lynn.

In the 2012 rankings, Lynn moved up from the “Regional Universities” category to the “National Universities” category, which increased both Lynn’s prestige and competition. National uni-versities, as categorized by U.S. News, “offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master’s and Ph.D. pro-grams and emphasize faculty research.”

The percentage of international stu-dents at Lynn continues to grow each year. In U.S. News’2012 list, Lynn re-ported 17 percent international stu-dents, up from 15 percent in 2011 and 14 percent in 2010.

“We expect to see our percentage of international students rise even more in 2014,” said Gareth Fowles, Lynn’s vice president of enrollment management. “This year, we welcomed 164 new inter-

national students to campus. That’s a 43 percent increase compared to last fall.”

This fall, Lynn welcomed one of the largest classes on record, and interna-tional students represented one of the largest areas of growth.

Although Lynn officially reported that 18 percent of its student body is made up of international students, the university actually boasts 25 percent international students if you include the students with dual citizenship (with both the United States citizenship and citizenship in another country).

To further enhance its international profile, Lynn created a new Interna-tional Office this year that will oversee visa processing, orientation and support of international students attending Lynn and directed the launch of a new Center for Learning Abroad (CLA).

“We are dedicated to recruiting and serving the international student popu-lation on Lynn’s campus,” said Fowles. “We see the importance of dialogue be-tween foreign and domestic students, and we work to foster those relation-ships in and out of the classroom.”

This year, international students at Lynn are being given a special oppor-tunity to witness the American political process first-hand. With Lynn’s dedi-cation to internationalism, it is appro-priate that the university will host the third and final presidential debate fo-cused on foreign policy on Oct. 22.

Spady Museum Gets Grant to Produce Trolley Tour Brochure

DELRAY BEACH -- The Spady Cul-tural Heritage Museum in Delray Beach has received a grant from the State of Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, to produce an illustrative brochure, detailing the history and features of the mu-seum’s “Ride & Remember” Trolley Tour.

The $7,000 grant will be used to create a brochure depicting the historic structures lo-cated within five historic districts on the tour. The marketing piece will include informa-tion on the city’s historic preservation efforts and promote the area’s other historic tourism enterprises. The grant covers production of 5,000 copies to be distributed throughout the state.

“The Spady Museum is extremely excited and appreciative of the state’s investment in one of our most popular and enduring com-munity programs,” said Museum Director Charlene Jones. “The Ride & Remember Trol-ley Tour is becoming a staple in Delray Beach and in Palm Beach County for where people who love history can come and have a wonder-ful two-hour experience, learning about what

makes this city so distinctive and memorable.” The trolley tour takes riders through the

city’s five historic districts. Riders also disem-bark at select historic and garden sites for a closer look at the history of Delray Beach.

For the 2011-2012 season, which ran from October to May, the “Ride & Remember Trol-ley Tour” averaged 25 riders per tour, with a peak of 35 riders in February 2012 and 30 riders in January 2012. Due to its popular-ity, the tour has been extended to run all 12 months of the 2012-13 season.

Trolley Tour dates for 2012-13 are: Oc-tober 13, 2012; November 13, 2012; Decem-ber 8, 2012; January 12, 2013; February 13 , 2013; March 9, 2013; April 13, 2013; May 11, 2013; June 8, 2013; July 13, 2013; August 10, 2013; September 14, 2013

The brochure has been financed in part with historic preservation grant assistance provided by the Bureau of Historic Preserva-tion, Division of Historical Resources, Florida Department of State, assisted by the Florida Historical Commission.

Sherry Heller of Delray Beach disembarks from the “Ride & Remember” Trolley Tour. A brochure funded by the State of Florida is being produced by the Spady Museum.

P.O. Box 970593 - Boca Raton, FL 33497It just hit me that Boca Raton is marking

some major milestones as we move toward the end of 2012.

The biggest event of the week, of course, was the 100th birthday celebration of Henri-etta, Countess de Hoernle. She is an amazing woman with an amazing life and a very gener-ous heart. I’ve always been impressed that she is so humble and approachable, with a sense of humor that is unmatched.

She stayed through the entire party at Boca West Country Club Monday night, and even of-fered a whimsical comment at the end. She said that since she has turned 100 years of age, she is no longer Countess de Hoernle, but Countess de Antique. It got quite a laugh from those in the crowded room.

The Countess’s goal Monday night was to raise money for charity. At the end of the eve-ning, the organizers named the five organiza-tions that will share about a quarter-million dol-lars collected at the event. These include: Boca Helping Hands, Family Promise, Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, HomeSafe and the Spirit of Giving Network.

Also being celebrated is the 50th anniver-sary of the Debbie-Rand Memorial League, established a half-century ago by Gloria and Robert Drummond in honor of their children, Debra and James Randall, who died of acciden-tal poisoning. The Drummonds led the charge to create Boca Raton Regional Hospital so Boca would have a local medical facility. Their chil-dren might have been saved if a local hospital was available.

We commend the work of both the Debbie-Rand League and the Countess. They have both worked to make Boca a better place for all.

FAU Has MassiveEconomic ImpactFlorida Atlantic University recently notified

the media that it has an estimated $6.3 billion annual impact on its six-county service region, according to a project report led by Khi Thai, Ph.D., FAU professor of public administration, and designed by William B. Stronge, Ph.D., FAU professor emeritus of economics.

“FAU clearly fulfills the responsibility of servicing and engaging in the lives of the com-munities on many different levels,” said FAU President Mary Jane Saunders. “This university is dedicated to economic development, research and community engagement and will continue to expand upon these areas in the years to come.”

According to the report, FAU is a major eco-nomic driver as a purchaser of goods and ser-vices from private business and an employer of 3,543 men and women who spend their income

in the local market. FAU graduates and stu-dents also hold jobs in the region, and alumni, students and visitors alike purchase goods and services in the local economy.

Some highlights of the study include:• FAU contributed $2.5 billion to direct

spending in Florida for the 2010-11 fiscal year.• FAU activities are responsible for more

than 60,450 in-state jobs.• The FAU presence in the state gen-

erates a $4.1 billion increase in Florida’s gross domestic product and a $6.3 billion increase in gross sales.• Those who came to visit FAU students

spent more than $39 million in the state.

Where in the WorldIs Ariana Grande?

Those of you watching these pages for a sto-ry about Ariana Grande, the 19-year-old Boca native who has become a major TV, recording and film star. Her grandmother, Marge Grande, told us that Ariana just left this week for Van-couver to film a movie. Then, she’ll be back in LA to begin filming a new series for the Nickel-odeon Network.

I’ve been doing a little research on her, and discovered the impact of her talent. On You-Tube is posted a video of her song, “Put Your Hearts Up.” It has gotten 24 million – yes, mil-lion – hits. And it’s a great song.

Marge said Ariana is about to release a new song in October.

Readers probably saw Ariana in the role of Cat Valentine in the Nick series, “Victorious.” And in the cyber-world, her fans refer to her as “Lady A.”

Watch these pages for more details.

Sadly, this happens more frequently than it should, whether among family members, in residential neigh-borhoods, in the work place, and within religious in-stitutions. When such attitudes persist, unnecessary trouble erupts, allowing unpleasant situations which could be more quickly resolved, to be prolonged in-terminably to the disadvantage of all concerned.

Personal conflicts can easily occur. Sometimes, simple misunderstandings can lead to major conten-tions which retard, and often prevent, permanent,

satisfactory solutions. Sadly, this stems from person-al pride and other negative forces operative among the participants involved!

Nevertheless, no personal controversy should ever be initiated and pursued, unless there is a predisposi-tion on the part of the contenders to seek a sound conclusion, or reach a reasonable compromise, lead-ing to a swift resolution! One must strive to establish an expiration date for any hot topic under discussion, any issue difficult to resolve!

When such is not the case, one contemplates two losers when both could be genuine winners! Prolong-ing any hostility tends to complicate matters because new issues are often added to the conflict, more fuel to the fire, when true reconciliation should remain the uppermost objective to be reached!

In such battles, carried on with negative attitudes, no one will ever be the winner. Yet, both can be tri-umphant by swallowing their pride, abandoning their stubbornness, and by taking positive steps forward in a reconciling attitude through dealing with the is-sues more creatively!

Everybody makes mistakes and, on that account, every person deserves more understanding and for-giveness. This applies to individuals in any sector of society, and to nations at every corner of the earth!

Let there be peace on earth, as each inhabitant of this planet takes personal initiative in acting in a more proactive, peaceful fashion, both to avoid enter-ing into an unnecessary fight, as well as in finding positive solutions to battles which need not continue!

Editorials & Letters

Jim Mathis wrote a great column this week that I thought I would share with you all that talks about how you should love what you do and not be looking forward to retirement your entire life.

Have a great week and God Bless, Douglas Heizer

We live in interesting times as business and pro-fessional people. I am a part of a generation in the United States that has been given the nickname of “Baby Boomers,” and for many of us, the primary aim at work is to retire.

Case in point, I recently overheard a conversation at a party. A man who was nearing retirement com-mented that he could hardly wait until he could quit his work. He said he hated his job and the only reason he continued going to work each day was he needed the money.

I did not say anything to him, but my thought was, “What a pitiful way to live.” I cannot imagine going through life hating what I spend the greatest portion of my time doing. Some jobs are more rewarding than others. But even when I experience discourag-ing days, I still love what I do. At times in my life the work I was doing might not have not been inspiring, but the people I encountered on a daily basis were inspiring to know and interact with.

When I hear people talking yearningly about re-tirement, I always think about the intrinsic value of work. In fact, there are many references in the Bible that speak to the nobility of work. Colossians 3:23, for instance, says we are to work with all our hearts at whatever we do. After all, it says, ultimately we are working as for the Lord.

The Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes has many admonitions to work hard and enjoy it. Ecclesiastes 3:22 says,“So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will hap-pen after them?” In the popular paraphrase of the Bi-ble, The Message, it says, “So I made up my mind that there’s nothing better for us men and women than to have a good time in whatever we do – that’s our lot.” Work may be difficult and challenging, but God designed work also to be enjoyed.

Proverbs 22:29 says, “Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings.” You might say the secret to success is to do good work and then show it to people. Today we call that “product and marketing.” I believe the emphasis should be put on the product and not the effort to persuade people to purchase it. In other words, “Make good stuff.” If you do, you will have no trouble selling it.

When we work in this way, the idea of retiring

becomes much less appealing. In fact, I am not at all looking forward to a time when I may not be physi-cally able to do what I do. When I get to that point I might have to stop out of necessity; but I do not in-tend to stop working just because the calendar says I have put in enough time. Connecting retirement with how much money a person has saved also seems like a rather trivial pursuit.

There is very little guidance from the Scriptures on the subject of retirement. The word is rarely used, and when it is, it means to “withdraw.” Is the main goal of work simply to reach a time when you can withdraw from productive living? The only ac-tual reference to retirement in the Bible pertains to Levites, priests instructed to retire at the age of 50 – but even then they were to continue to assist younger priests.

The idea of retiring as we know it today is a recent phenomenon, largely a 20th century idea brought on by longer life spans and the Industrial Revolution. Only in the past 60 years or so has retirement become something many people would aspire to. Only a few generations back, retirement was thought of as “too old to work” or “being put out to pasture.” Unless you are ready to be put out to pasture, learn to enjoy your work!

Detectives from the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office are seeking the public’s assistance with identifying a suspect wanted for theft from the Home Depot Store in the 9800 block of Glades Road, Boca Raton.

On July 20, the suspect pictured com-mitted a theft at the Home Depot in sub-urban Boca Raton. The suspect filled three buckets with power batteries and drill kits and fled out the main entrance. The suspect was observed entering a

newer model green Dodge pick-up truck.

If anyone can identify this suspect, they are urged to con-tact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.

Alleged Burglar Arrested Twice in Three DaysBOCA RATON –

Boca Raton Police ar-rested a suspect twice in three days. He was identified as Stephen Rodriguez, 23, of Boca Raton.

Police said the first crime happened on

Sept. 20 just before 9 p.m. Boca Raton Po-lice officers responded to an automobile burglary in the 800 block of Aurelia Street. The victim was sitting in his car with the

engine off when an unknown male opened the passenger door and started to reach for the glove box. The victim spoke to the sus-pect, who fled east on Aurelia Street.

While K9 was tracking, a witness told officers they saw a male matching the sus-pect description drop a wallet while run-ning east. The wallet belonged to Stephen Rodriguez, who lives in the neighborhood. Officers located Rodriguez several blocks away. Officers arrested Rodriguez and charged him with burglary to a convey-ance.

On Sept. 23 at about 12:30 a.m., officers responded to a burglary to a home in the 500 block of NW 7th Avenue. The victim told officers she was awakened when she heard an unknown male’s voice coming from the entrance to her bedroom. The suspect, who was kneeling on the floor outside her bedroom door, was bowing and waving his arms up and down, and said he wanted to talk to her. He said he was her neighbor, Stephen Rodriguez, and she needed to talk to him. The victim asked the suspect to leave and he did.

Officers checking the area located Ro-driguez a few blocks away. Rodriguez ran from officers, but they were able to ap-prehend him after a short foot chase. The victim identified Rodriguez as the person who was inside her home. Officers arrested Rodriguez and while they were processing him at the Police Department, Rodriguez became combative and hit an officer in the face.

Officers charged Rodriguez with bur-glary to an occupied dwelling, resisting ar-rest, and battery on an officer.

Arrest Made in Boca Raton Home BurglaryBOCA RATON – The sharing of infor-

mation with other law enforcement agen-cies is credited for the arrest of a suspect wanted for numerous crimes, says a report from Boca Raton Police.

Authorities said it started in Boca Raton on Aug 21 when detectives from the Boca Raton Police Services Department began

investigating a residential burglary at a home on NW 5th Street. The resident said that around 11 am someone shattered her rear sliding door and stole a purse contain-ing credit cards and jewelry, and two TV’s. She said her credit card company told her one of her cards was used within hours of the break in at an Exxon Mobil gas station

Commission OKs Pact With Cultural Council to Provide Tourism Marketing Services

The Palm Beach County Commis-sion, at its meeting Sept. 11, approved an agreement with the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County to provide tourism marketing services under the county’s tourist development plan for a five-year period through Sept. 30, 2017.

Commissioners approved the payment of $1.257 million in contractual services and $3.8 million in indirect costs, grants and reserves for a total of $5.06 million.

The board approved similar agree-ments for the Film and Television Com-mission ($903,813 total), the Convention and Visitors Bureau ($10.8 million total) and the Sports Commission ($1.749 mil-lion total).

In other business at its Sept. 11 meet-ing, the board took the following action:

Refueling assistance – adopted an ordi-nance requiring gas stations/convenience stores with two or more attendants on duty to prominently display their store’s phone number on the gas pumps so that disabled motorists can call for refueling assistance.

Vehicle parts – approved a vehicle and equipment parts management supply agreement with NAPA for the county’s Fleet Management Division at an esti-mated annual cost of $2.25 million.

Island Way – postponed to the Oct. 16 BCC meeting approval of an alignment for Jupiter Park Drive/Western Corridor, to be known as Island Way.

Fire Rescue – approved on prelimi-nary reading and to advertise for public hearing a series of revisions to the Palm Beach County Regional Hazardous Mate-rials Response Ordinance.

Pollutant storage – amended the contract with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection pertaining to storage tank compliance inspection to include Martin and St. Lucie counties. This is a non-ad valorem program funded through the Florida Inland Protection Trust Fund.

Dillman Road – adopted a resolution abandoning a portion of Dillman Road from Whippoorwill Blvd. eastward to 150 feet west of Lyons Road. This action is to provide consistency with a previous aban-donment of Dillman Road in 2009.

Patio Court – reaffirmed that prop-erty owners abutting Patio Court will not be required to pay any assessments for a proposed paving and drainage project, as their assessment is funded by a commu-nity development block grant.

External auditors – agreed to lift the mandatory rotation rule regarding out-side auditing contracts and directed staff to bring back a formal policy.

Housing Finance Authority – adopt-ed a series of county code revisions gov-erning the Housing Finance Authority (HFA). They pertain to the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics and the Depart-ment of Economic Sustainability, and the removal of term limits for HFA board members.

CCRT – designated Cam Estates/Meadowbrook plats 1, 2 and 3 as a Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) neighborhood enhance-ment area and removed the designation from Cinquez Park and Lakewood Gar-dens.

Suspect left backpack from girlfriend’s child in stolen carin Dania Beach.

Detectives went to the gas station and spoke with the manager who showed them a surveillance video. In the video, the suspect can be seen trying to use the stolen card as another person stands by a PT Cruiser the two were driving, said Boca Police.

When asked about the suspect, the man-ager said he remembered him because the credit card was declined. The manager questioned the suspect about the name on the credit card and was told his friends sometimes call him Suzanne.

A bulletin was issued for the PT Cruiser and two days later a Pompano Beach Bro-ward Sheriff ’s Office deputy called and said they recovered the wanted car, and that it

had been reported stolen on August 19. In the car were jewelry, electronics, and a black backpack.

When BSO deputies searched the back-pack, they found a name on some homework inside. After contacting the individual, BSO deputies showed the backpack owner a picture of the man in the surveillance vid-eo from the Exxon Mobil. The individual identified the person as her mother’s boy-friend, Tyler Shuman. On Sept. 14, Shuman was arrested by BSO Deputies for grand theft and possession of stolen property.

Boca Raton Police Services detectives also charged Shuman with burglary, grand theft and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Boca Raton---Grab your shopping bags and head on over to the Boca Raton GreenMarket scheduled for each Satur-day beginning October 6, 2012, through April 27, 2013, 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Now in its 16th year of operation, the Market takes place in the Monument Piazza, on the NE corner of the intersection of S Federal Highway and SE Mizner Blvd, at the south end of Royal Palm Place. The location at the intersection of South Fed-eral Highway and South Mizner Boule-vard provides easy access and visibility to the thousands of shoppers who frequent the market throughout the season. Plen-ty of parking is available adjacent to the GreenMarket vendor site.

As with all markets operating in the Palm Beach County area, Boca’s Green-Market has continually been dedicated to local food production and consumption….produce that travels from farm direct to the dining table……and through the pro-

cess supporting the Florida agricultural industry and the economy of our south Florida area. Each Saturday, fresh local-ly-grown fruits and vegetables as they be-come available in their individual growing seasons---along with fresh herbs, soaps & lotions, fresh eggs, freshly-squeezed juices, potted orchids, ocean shells, fresh cut flowers, assorted variety of plants, fresh baked goods, prepared foods, oils & vinegars, gourmet foods, hydroponic and organic foods, fresh fish and seafood, fresh pasta, doggie treats ---are available for purchase. Several of the vendors have participated since the Market began in 1996, with a few new vendors joining each year. Community service organiza-tions are also on hand from time to time to share information or to promote a spe-cial group project.

As consumers take a closer look at the food they put on their tables, the growth in markets has been fueled by this public

awareness as to how to eat better, want-ing to know where their food is grown and who grew it. The Boca Raton Green-Market offers that answer! As for lo-cally-grown produce, once people taste what’s available at the farmers’ markets---freshly-picked, good-tasting, seasonal produce from the farmers who grow it, they realize that “nothing substitutes for a vine-ripened, freshly-picked tomato, or any other locally-grown fruit or veggie!!”

Best of all, Boca’s GreenMarket has become ‘thee’ place to visit on Saturday mornings----where friends, including the family pup, come together for a quick cup of fresh coffee and where friends de-part with shopping bags filled with the freshest of produce---all taking place in a relaxed outdoor market setting in the heart of beautiful downtown Boca Raton. Several special activities, promotions and customer giveaways are planned at vari-ous times throughout the Market season.

Live music takes place on the Piazza Stage from 10am to Noon. Featured on Octo-ber 6 at 10am will be music by the Shef-field Brothers performing with the BILL BAND.

The Boca Raton GreenMarket is supported by The Boca Raton Tribune, Florida Health & Chiropractic Medicine, Aurora Nurses Home Health Care, Inc., Investments Limited, Palm Beach County, Happy Day Creations, and “FRESH from FLORIDA,” a promotional campaign of Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs. A portion of vendor proceeds will benefit P.R.O.P.E.L. (People Reaching Out To Provide Education and Leadership), a not-for-profit organization serving the youth of South Palm Beach and North Broward Counties.

For information about the Boca Raton GreenMarket or to participate, please call the Market office at (561) 299-8684 or email [email protected].

BOCA RATON – Hundreds of friends, well-wishers and admirers gathered at Boca West Country Club the night of Sept. 24 to honor Henri-etta, Countess de Hoernle, the woman responsible for donating more than $40 million to charities in Florida and New York.

An estimated 500 people surround-ed the remarkable philanthropist who told the media before the event, “I’m glad I made it to 100.”

She repeated one of her signature lines, “Give while you live so you know where it goes.” And she wants others to “do the same,” especially for children, veterans and the sick.

BOCA RATON – Margo Joy, a Boca Raton singer, songwriter, cantor, model, medium and healer, has written about 1,000 songs in her lifetime.

Her latest musical endeavor is perhaps the one she is most proud of, for it cele-brates the life and generosity of a famed Boca Raton philanthropist, Henrietta, Countess de Hoernle, who celebrated her 100th birthday Sept. 24.

The song, called “Give while you live,” is based on one of the Countess’ most fa-mous admonitions, “Give while you live so you’ll know where it goes.”

Ms. Joy debuted the song during High Holiday services at The All People’s Syn-agogue in Fort Lauderdale, where she is the cantor. She sang it during services on Sept. 16 and 17, and performed it again during Yom Kippur rites Tuesday, Sept. 25 and Sept. 26.

She said the services were offered free and there was no charge for parking. All People’s Synagogue uses a church building at 301 East Broward Boulevard, Fort Lau-derdale, for its ceremonies.

“These were special interfaith services” for the Jewish and those of other faiths, said the multi-talented Ms. Joy.

She will also sing the special melody on Oct. 24 at St. Jude Church in West Boca Raton, which is sponsoring a special com-memorative luncheon in honor of the Countess’ 100th birthday.

Boca Raton artist and sculptor Yaacov Heller, instrumental in bringing Ms. Joy and the Countess together, told the Boca Raton Tribune about the young lady’s performance and other happenings at the Rosh Hashanah ceremony.

“At the High Holiday service at All Peoples Synagogue, Cantor Margo Joy, for the first time in public, sang the song she wrote for Countess Henrietta de Hoernle’s 100th birthday. The song, “Give While You Live,” was received with ovations from the crowd and spiritual leader Rab-bi Loring Frank,” Heller told the Tribune.

She has sung the tune for the Countess, and also performed “Time to Say Good-bye,” a favorite of Boca’s royal lady.

Heller also recounted how the relation-

ship developed between Ms. Joy and the Countess. “I made a gold angel pendant for the Countess,” he said. “She asked me to have it blessed for her. I told her about Margo and sent her a bio about her special gifts as a spiritual healer.”

“Margo did a hands-on healing trans-ferring healing energy to the angel pen-dant. The Countess said she felt the ener-gy immediately upon wearing it and said she would never take it off,” Heller said.

After getting to know the Countess, Ms. Joy said, “I’d love to write a song for you.” She chose the Boca philanthropist’s key phrase and put it to music to honor the Countess.

“The song is very special, and she is very special,” Ms. Joy said.

The creation of her first musical album is another special project for the Boca per-former. It is being produced by Tony Bon-giovi, a cousin of pop music performer Jon Bon Jovi. (Bongiovi is the correct spelling of their family name.) Heller is also in-volved and will provide art for the project.

In addition to her work as a cantor, Ms.

Joy is a medium and a healer. She has a counseling website, www.healingvisions.org.

It would be unfortunate if people thought “Won’t Back Down” is simply an anti-union film. There have already been union protests about this film from Walden Media, the same company that produced the doomsday edu-cation system documentary “Waiting for Su-perman.”

“Won’t Back Down” is a fictional drama, co-written and directed by Daniel Barnz (“Phoebe in Wonderland”) and inspired by California’s 2010 “parent trigger law,” in which parents attempt to take over failing public schools.

The drama is about two mothers. Jamie Fitzpatrick (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a single mom with a daughter Emily (Malia Fitzpat-rick) with dyslexia. Jamie works hard as a bartender and struggles to help her daugh-ter do her schoolwork.

Nona Alberts (Viola Davis) is a teacher at the Pittsburgh school Emily attends. Nona, too, has a child with a learning disability. Cody Alberts (Dante Brown) has suffered brain damage.

The elementary school Emily attends is one of the worst schools in town, and Em-ily is stuck with one of its worst teachers: Deborah (Nancy Bach). Deborah is lazy, apa-thetic, and treats the kids with malice. You would think in the real world Deborah would be fired, but according to this scenario, the union protects her and her job regardless.

I’m hoping this is just exaggeration for dramatic effect, but you don’t go to this mov-ie for its melodramatic, then rah-rah story, you go for the powerful performances of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis. As a bo-nus you get Rosie Perez in her first film role in some time, and a boo-hiss performance by Holly Hunter as the teachers’ union head, Evelyn Riske.

Frankenstein’s PupWriter-director Tim Burton was inspired

by the famous 1931 version of “Franken-stein,” starring Boris Karloff, for his black-and-white stop-action animated comedy, “Frankenweenie.”

Burton pays tribute to many more famous monster and horror films in a story about a boy who brings his beloved dog back to life after a traffic accident.

I loved the monster and horror movies of my youth (they never scared me), and this is a very funny and clever tribute to those films.

Charlie Tahan voices Victor Franken-stein, a boy whose beloved dog Sparky gets run over in traffic. Like the Frankenstein monster, Sparky comes back to life, scarred and stitched-up. Like Frankenstein, Sparky unintentionally wreaks havoc in the town of New Holland.

Winona Ryder voices Victor’s next-door neighbor, Elsa van Helsing, who has a pet poodle, who through another electrical pro-cedure, gets a hairdo like the Bride of Fran-kenstein.

“Frankenweenie” has a great cast of ce-lebrity voices including two stars of famous horror films: Martin Landau as the Vincent Price-like weird science teacher who encour-ages Victor to experiment, and Christopher Lee as the voice of Dracula.

Others are Catherine O’Hara as Victor’s mom and several other voices; Martin Short as his dad Ben Frankenstein, and Atticus Shaffer as Edgar Gore, the Igor-like class-mate of Victor’s who is Weird Girl’s (Cath-erine O’Hara) potential love interest.

“Frankenweenie,” the first stop-motion picture in 3-D and IMAX formats, is a proj-ect near and dear to Tim Burton’s heart. The affection shows. Even monsters need love.

Three and a half stars

Of the 25 appetizers we chose to sam-ple the tuna tataki – fresh, sweet tuna in form of a blooming rose, surrounded by cucumber halves in a presentation with sesame seeds and scallions. We sampled fried meat dumplings lightly browned and delicious, the steamed vegetable dumplings were extremely juicy with very light flavor. The deep fried soft shell crab was heavily breaded but flavor came through.

Of the 9 soups listed, we tasted the miso, the hot and sour, the wonton and the seafood soup. Miso was light with full flavor, the hot and sour had nice, complex taste, the wonton floated in a rich broth and the seafood was shrimp, scallop, pea pods and carrots in a very light broth.

All are recommended.A large portion of mu shu pork, as-

sembled tableside by your server, is en-cased in soft pancakes and has a rich full bodied taste – excellent! This one of 8 pork dishes listed on the menu.

The 10 beef offering included yellow curry beef – very gentle medium spice (can be ordered mild or hot) with pepper, onions and carrots with white rice. Just a bit of a bite!

Sushi and sashi combination – some 13 pieces including tuna, salmon, shrimp, kani (imitation crab meat)and California roll was fresh, chilled and perfect.

The poultry list of 18 items – includes

duck 3 ways – Peking, China Town style (bone in) or West Lake – boned. The doz-en slices of tender duck with full flavor was immersed in a rich brown sauce with bok choy, pea pods, baby corn, carrots and onions – don’t miss this one.

Choose from 15 items on the sea-food menu – we selected an old standby – shrimp with lobster sauce and were re-warded with a very fine dish with tender shrimp in a rich base.

There are 10 vegetarian dishes to choose from as well as lo meins, rice noo-dles, fried rice dishes plus egg foo young and chow mein plus chop suey. Also, select from 17 of the Canton garden specialties and 21 combination dinner special from this extensive Chinese/Japanese bistro.

White rice is the standard but substi-tute fried or brown rice as you wish.

Select from 8 sushi and sashimi din-ners, 20 rolls and 14 temaki (hand rolls) for delicious Japanese cuisine. Note that the sushi bar is closed on Mondays though Canton garden is open 7 days from 11:30AM to 10PM Monday through Friday, noon to 10PM on Saturday and 1PM to 10PM on Sunday. This 200 seat restaurant is located at 500 E. Spanish River Boulevard (395-2029) with a full service bar, take out service and a limited area delivery available. This 23 year old family owned and run restaurant is a trea-sure – We suggest you…Go and Enjoy!

We are always in a hurry, and for some of us when we exercise it’s not much different. We jump into the execise routine hoping to warm up as we go, and we stop and rush out of the gym thinking that the body will take care of itself. But it isn’t quite that way.

Each exercise session should be marked by a period of warm up and another of cold down. The warm up period is mandatory to prepare your body to the exercise to come, and to reduce the chances of injury. The best form of warm up is the one the incorporates rhythmic motions and active stretching ini-tially at small amplitudes, increasing it as the body warms up. In the case of specific sports the athlete performs activities related to the sport but with low intensity.

The increase in the muscle temperature increases the flexibility, allowing the mus-cles to contract faster when compared to the same muscle without being warmed up. The blood flow must increase significantly to protect the muscles against injuries during the exercise. Other effects of the warm up include increase in metabolism, increase in cardiac frequency, increase in the transport and usage of oxygen by the body, increase in the speed conduction of the nerves, and increase in muscle contraction speed and quality.

The ideal interval for warm up is of about 5 to 10 minutes. After 45 minutes without any physical activity the body has returned to its rest temperature. As a con-sequence of the warm up there is an activa-tion of the central nervous system with an

improvement in the attention spam, favoring learning ability, coordination, and movement precision, crucial during training. There is a release of adrenaline, which decreases the blood viscosity, increases the activity of the enzymes, and increases the energy levels by increased the metabolism of glycogen (a form of sugar readily available in the cells of the liver and muscles).

At the end of the exercise session, the cold down period is as essential as the warm up. The cool down allows the muscles to eliminate latic acid, a metabolic by-product that accumulates in the muscles with the exercise. The gradual decrease in the activ-ity level during cool down helps to prevent dizziness that may happen with the sudden stop of the activity. When the exercise is suddenly stopped, the blood accumulates to the lower extremities, and does not arrive to the brain in sufficient amount leading to diz-ziness. The cold down is also important to assist in the normalization of the blood pres-sure, and to gradually relax the body struc-tures involved in the activity. The charac-teristics of the cold down are similar to the warm up, prioritizing whole body exercises with duration of 5 to 10 minutes in total.

In sum, the warm up and cold down are part of your training/exercise session, of-fering you a safe practice, and granting lon-gevity to the training program. Al decisions about the exercise session should always be made taking into consideration the objec-tives and the individuality of each person/athlete.

She Haunts Her House For Charity(The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital)

Alida Bowden AKA Countess Alida Von Wicked is a dynamic woman that puts on a show at Halloween where neighbors, friends and even strangers, through word of mouth form a line blocks long to get into the graveyard and the haunted castle she creates.

This is a work of joy to this woman who espouses that nothing is too much for her to accomplish. AND accomplish she does! Every year Alida’s residence is transformed into a medieval castle haunted house and an eerie graveyard complete with tomb raiders, grave rob-bers and various other creatures of the

night to benefit St. Jude Children’s Re-search Hospital. There is no charge to view this amazing show, but donations are accepted; and everyone does.

Each year for the past three years, the exterior of the house becomes a medieval castle with doors that open to elaborately staged rooms featuring a walk-through several different rooms, which feature haunting themes. In the past they included a Vampire’s Lair, a Zombie Banquet, a Haunted Swamp and a Gothic Inner-Sanctum.

The Mad Scientist’s Laboratory will be this years’ haunt complete with gi-ant electrodes and bubbling plasma tubes. From there you go to the dun-

geon where the cells show the ghoulish residents rotting away. Of course, this is when they are not scaring the visi-tors. This all happens on Halloween night when the donations are accepted for St. Jude’s.

A Halloween aficionado, Alida’s pas-sion for the holiday has become a com-munity event to support the work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “The Hospital’s mission is to advance cures and means of prevention for pe-diatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of founder, Danny

Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.”

Volunteers act as the various charac-ters that haunt the house on Halloween night. They are local residents, neigh-bors and students. This year Quota In-ternational Boca/Delray Service Club is also participating in the event.

The Boca Raton Tribune MUNICIPAL East/West Boca Raton, FL

THE CITIZENS VOICEBy Al Zucaro

Municipal News

Awake All You Ghosts and Goblins…Trick or Treat

After 4½ hours at city chambers for the Planning and Zoning marathon this week, everyone left the room glazed, hungry and ready to go. Listening attentively and taking decisions on such complex subjects is, at best, difficult and without visuals, one cannot even begin to see the ‘treats’ resulting from the ‘tricks’ hidden within the technical language.

Like ghosts lurking to prey on the inno-cent who believe that all is good and evil does not exist…...incredible.

So what was the first order of business…?“Planned Mobility” to implement regula-

tions for 78.62 acres east of the El Rio ca-nal between Spanish River Blvd. and Inter-state 95, a project that anticipates 2.5 million square feet of development with density to allow almost 1600 residential units next to a single family area without the benefits of traffic studies, economic impact analysis or visual sightlines describing the cityscape af-ter the developer is long gone and the citizens are left with managing the outcomes.

The first request by the developer was to remove this item from the agenda and post-pone to the next meeting. I guess the dire economic consequence for not meeting their deadline is more a trick then a treat…..Happy Halloween!

Next was a presentation from staff about proposed zoning changes followed by a de-veloper request for 10 amendments dramati-cally changing to the impacts and the look of the city. Very intense, very complex lan-guage again presented without the benefit of economic impact studies, traffic studies or even sightlines to provide visuals of the end results….

A picture is worth a thousand words…Citizens, in the past few weeks, have voiced

negative opinion over the Levitz Plaza devel-opment on North Federal Highway. That project, a mere babe in the woods compared to those being recommended now, consists of 20 units per acre, a fifteen foot setback from the road, four stories in height with a total of 384 units. With that project out of the ground, one can only now visualize what will dominate the sightlines of that area forever.

Can you see the Caldwell???? Begin to imagine the look that will domi-

nate if projects with a density of 54 units to the acre and 85 feet in height are approved. That is the height and density being recom-mended to the city council and the council seems ready to accept these outcomes with-out the pictures necessary to see the develop-ers’ vision for the city of Boca Raton.

Competing interests….Present in chambers were all the usual

suspects and then some. The developers were there in full force. Also present were citizens expressing concerns that these plans

are inconsistent with Boca Raton’s low den-sity directive and its passive and peaceful life-style. Two very different, competing views.

What became apparent was how the argu-ment was formulated. Staff argued for lan-guage with proscribed limitations. Develop-ers argued that their requested amendments are small in nature and will have a negligible impact. That is a false argument.

Staff ’s changes are a major deviation to the existing look and feel of the city. The incremental difference from staff ’s position and the developers request is not the mea-surement. What is the measurement is the difference from the current code to the con-siderable demands the developers suggests is necessary to make a project viable.

Balderdash….Developers will push to get maximum

density always. They will not act in the best interest of the citizens or the city. They will only act in their individual best interest be-lieving that collective individual interests will somehow equal the common interest. This is false and this is exactly why there is represen-tative government, a city council that is elect-ed to act in the best interests of the people.

The citizens’ argued effectively that Boca Raton is a low density place; that the citizens’ interests come first; and that the city council is not the voice of the developers but rather the voice of the community. They are exact-ly right. This is not to say that the common interest is necessarily different from the col-lection of individual interests but it is to say that there is currently no community buy-in to these massive changes.

There has been little effort by the elected officials to go to the citizens and make the case as to why these changes are good. The threat of higher taxes and fewer services is not valid until the people have a reason to ac-cept the facts as truth. There is little evidence that the elected officials have taken their case to the people and there is growing dissatisfac-tion throughout the city by citizens that are uninformed within the process.

I have argued this before. The city coun-cil needs to get out of its ivory tower and go out to the people. Make the case. Make the developers make the case. Do not simply ac-cept the notion that that there is only “mod-est” changes being asked for. These changes are anything but “modest” and the elected officials act at their peril to overlook the com-mon good, the voice of the people.

Like the ghosts in the night, the true choice is a ‘treat’ of a willing and informed citizenry or the ‘trick’ of more petition driven challenges, more angst among the people and an elected body irresponsive to those that they serve.

This past week, the Brazil Club opened its doors for the Brazilian com-munity in Boca Raton.

Over 50 people were present at the opening of its offices at The Shoppes at Village Point.

Norcio Named Senior Associate Dean of Lynn’s College of Business and Management

BOCA RATON -- Lynn University business professor Ralph Norcio has been named senior associate dean of Lynn’s College of Business and Man-agement.

management programs, and the pros-pect of a fabulous new facility, it is my strong belief the College of Business and Management is poised to become a leader in educating students in the dis-cipline of business. We have very high expectations, and I look forward to par-ticipating in these exciting activities.”

Norcio has been a member of Lynn’s business faculty for 22 years. He has served the college as associate dean, dean, and MBA coordinator and the university as faculty athletics repre-sentative.

Is America Still the Land of Economic Freedom?

The race for the White House in 2012 has boiled down to a single issue. The economy.

That includes a lot of ramifications: Consistent high unemployment, failed job growth, a rising tide of poverty, increased dependence on government “entitlements” and a diminishing mid-dle class.

Both President Obama and chal-lenger Mitt Romney swear they’ll help to pull the middle class out of its finan-cial peril. Many hope Romney will be-come the new president in 2012. Oth-ers want to stick with Obama despite his unfulfilled promises.

It is ironic that Obama would classi-fy the economy as “fine” in one speech, yet said in a “60 Minutes” interview that the nation lost nine million jobs during the recession, but he has only replaced about 4.5 million.

That, Mr. President, is not an econo-my that is fine, and he has no definitive steps to improve it. So, in the mean-time, empty storefronts remain empty; small business owners keep their fi-nances close to the vest as they face an uncertain future and job opportunities remain few. Hundreds of thousands of unemployed people have just given up.

This isn’t just a personal and unsup-ported opinion. Economist Tim Kane, in a study by Hudson Institute, said few startup companies are launching in this troubled time. “Job creation at new firms was at an all-time low in 2009 of 2.8 million, then fell again a year later by 250,000 jobs,” wrote Kane.

He concludes that “entrepreneurs are having a harder time starting a company today than at any time since the government began collecting data.”

What makes this recovery different for startups? Kane thinks it’s an en-vironment more “hostile to entrepre-neurial employment.” He writes:

“At the federal level, high taxes and higher uncertainty about taxes are un-doubtedly inhibiting entrepreneurship, but to what degree is unknown.”

“The dominant factor may be new regulations on labor. The passage of the Affordable Care Act is creating a sweeping alteration of the regulatory environment that directly changes how employers engage their workforces, and it will be some time until those changes are understood by employers or scholars.”

Separately, he said, there has been a federal crackdown since 2009 by the Internal Revenue Service on U.S. employers that hire U.S. workers as independent contractors rather than employees, raising the question of mandatory benefits. New firms tend to use part-time and contract staffing rather than full-time employees during

the startup stage. According to Labor Department

data, Kane said, the typical American today only takes home 70 percent of compensation as pay, while the rest is absorbed by the spiraling cost of bene-fits (e.g., health insurance). The dilem-ma for U.S. policy is that an American entrepreneur has zero tax or regula-tory burden when hiring a consultant/contractor who resides abroad. But that same employer is subject to paperwork, taxation, and possible IRS harassment if employing U.S.-based contractors.

Some of those fears are reflected in the most-recent U.S. Chamber Small Business Outlook Survey that found that 72 percent think the health care law will make it harder to hire more people.

Based on these data, it appears America is on its way to becoming a European-style socialist nation, with the government as the kingpin. Presi-dent Obama seems bent on bringing socialism to US shores. He boasted in his “60 Minutes” speech that he saved General Motors as well as the banks. What he didn’t say is that the US Gov-ernment invested billions to prop them up, and GM still owes plenty, mean-ing Obama is actually the automaker’s “owner.”

As to the banks, they took the mon-ey, gave a big chunk to its executives as bonuses, yet still hold back cash in-tended for new mortgages. This is a bailout that certainly favored the banks and slapped consumers in the face.

Even now, the president is sending billions in assistance to nations like Libya and Egypt; nations that have al-lowed protestors to wreck US embas-sies and kill American personnel.

Where is America now? A Econom-ic Freedom of the World (EFW)” re-port published by Canada’s Fraser In-stitute and the Cato Institute says the United States ranks 18th in the global marketplace. The country is just be-hind Denmark and Qatar and ahead of Kuwait.

Economists James Gwartney, Rob-ert Lawson, and Joshua Hall write that studies using this data have concluded “that countries with institutions and policies more consistent with economic freedom have higher investment rates, more rapid economic growth, higher income levels and more rapid reduc-tions in poverty rates.”

This report is another indication that the U.S. is falling behind globally. It is clear that whoever is in the White House after the November election must unleash free enterprise to make the US more competitive, improve eco-nomic growth and create more jobs.

BUSINESS BITS• BOCA RATON— Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business recently partnered with the Google Maps team to collect street-level imagery of the entire Boca Raton campus. That campus imagery is now available via the Street View feature in Google Maps. This enables millions of people to view it wherever they are in the world. With imagery of FAU available on Google Maps, current and prospective students, alumni and parents can now explore the campus grounds, trails and shortcuts, buildings and residence halls from their computers or mobile devices.

• On September 20, the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board an-nounced that the Palm Beach County Office of Community Revitalization (OCR) has been awarded a 2012 transportation enhancement grant of $639,860 from the Florida Depart-ment of Transportation (FDOT). The approved funding will be used for the Canal Point Pedestrian Bridge Project. The project is programmed for funding in FDOT’s FY 15/16 work program.

• BOCA RATON -- Just two years after emerging from bankruptcy, the publisher of the National Enquirer is being abandoned in the bond market on concern that competition from TMZ.com and Gawker.com will push it back into default. American Media Inc.’s $470 million face value of bonds has lost 3 percent of value this month, the worst performance among dis-tressed issuers, even as the average bond yielding more than 10 percentage points above simi-larly dated treasuries gained 4.6 percent, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. Standard & Poor’s downgraded the Boca Raton-based company one level to B- with a negative outlook last week as cost cuts and higher prices haven’t compensated for lower sales.

• WEST PALM BEACH -- Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Ryles, P.A. shareholder Richard Ryles has earned the designation of Florida Crime Prevention Practitioner. This accomplishment comes after completing over 120 hours of classroom training offered through the Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute. Ryles joins the ranks of an elite group of individuals helping to make Florida a safer place to live and work through effective crime prevention initiatives.

News from SBDC: Expanding Streams of Revenue

By Palm Beach State CollegeSmall Busi-ness Develop-ment Center

BOCA RA-TON -- Ex-

porting is becoming an increasingly ef-fective way of expanding a business and increasing revenue. Florida is the world’s principal commercial gateway to Latin American and Caribbean markets and serves as a leading global trade hub.

Goods worth more than $149 billion flowed through Florida’s airports and seaports in 2011. So, should your business be exporting? Consider this:

Foreign demand is strong, with fore-casts of the world economy growing more 4 percent and world trade growing more than 6 percent annually in coming

years.Advancements in e-Commerce and

logistics have lowered the costs of doing business overseas.

Free trade agreements have opened up markets in Australia, Chile, Singapore, Jordan, Israel, Canada, Mexico and Cen-tral America, creating more opportunities for U.S. businesses.

U.S. companies that export enjoy greater business success overall because they are able to extend the sales potential of existing products and maintain pro-ductive capacity by stabilizing seasonal markets.

For more on this topic, or for no-cost consulting with certified business ana-lysts, including growth acceleration con-sultants and PTAC specialists, contact the Small Business Development Center at 561-862-4726 or email [email protected].

Boca Chamber Trustees Hear Senator George Lemieux’s

Comments on Economy

BOCA RATON – The Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce’s Trustee luncheon was held at Friday, Sept. 21 at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Word of the special guest speaker, Senator George Lemieux, drew a crowd of nearly 100 members and VIPs. The senator dis-cussed the current economic conditions of South Florida and the upcoming presi-dential election. Following the speech, the audience had an opportunity to ask ques-tions.

“The Chamber was pleased to bring Senator Lemieux to Boca Raton to speak to the exclusive trustee members,” said Troy M. McLellan, CCE, President & CEO of the Greater Boca Raton Cham-ber of Commerce.

“With so many critical issues facing the future success of our state, it was im-portant that the senator come address the

business power base of our community.”Lemieux served as Florida’s 34 Unit-

ed States Senator from 2009-10. In the Senate, he served on the Commerce, Sci-ence and Transportation Committee, the Armed Services Committee and the Special Committee on Aging. He passed legislation on health care fraud, export promotion, rating agency reform, small business promotion and a treaty resolu-tion on tactical nuclear weapons. Senator Lemieux now serves as the chairman of the board of the Gunster law firm.

The Trustee Membership Pro-gram was founded in 1999 to bring to-gether senior level executives whose car-ing and commitment to the community is the foundation for the Greater Boca Ra-ton Chamber of Commerce’s continued growth.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Offers New “Flash CT”

BOCA RATON - Boca Raton Regional Hospital is now the only hospital in South Florida to offer the SOMATOM® Defini-tion Flash from Siemens Healthcare, offi-cials there have announced.

This innovative, second-genera-tion Flash CT scanner delivers the short-est scan times with the lowest radiation dose. It produces high-quality, diagnos-tic images in fractions of a second, while significantly reducing the patient’s expo-sure to radiation. Because of its increased speed, motion from breathing or a patient’s inability to hold still does not cause faulty images.

When compared to a traditional CT scanner, the Flash CT reduces radia-tion exposure by as much as 90 percent. It also contains specialized adaptive dose shields that customize the lowest possible dose of radiation for each patient.

The Flash CT can detect and turn off its beam cycles when aimed directly at sensitive tissue areas. It also filters out unneeded radiation and uses what is called “iterative reconstruction,” which re-duces radiation while enhancing the qual-ity of the image.

A typical 64-slice CT scanner takes about 30 seconds to image the whole body and the image can be disrupted by any movement, such as tremors or breathing. The Flash CT table moves as fast as 1.5 feet per second, scanning the entire body in 3-4 seconds. Due to its unprecedented speed, it is no longer necessary for patients to hold their breath or be sedated. This of-fers tremendous advantages in pediatric

and geriatric scanning.“The technology also gives us

a new level of diagnostic capabilities that includes vessel imaging, cardiac testing, cancer staging and tissue characterization, which can be tailored to each patient’s in-dividual needs,” said Jonathan Wiener, MD, Medical Director of Neuroradiology and Cardiac CT at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “With this system, our clinicians can obtain significant enhanced diagnostic information from the time of initial di-agnosis and throughout follow-up treat-ment.”

“The Flash CT will revolutionize our imaging department, providing the most cutting-edge technology available in com-puted tomography,” said Joseph Kleinman, MD, Chief of the Department of Radiolo-gy at Boca Regional. “From both a patient and physician perspective it provides ben-efits unequaled by other technology.”

In 2012, Boca Regional received a $25 million grant, the largest, single philan-thropic gift in the institution’s history, from the Marcus Foundation to create the Marcus Neuroscience Institute on the Hospital’s main campus.

The facility will serve as a new, state-of-the-art nexus of care for neurologic and neurosurgical patients and transform the landscape of clinical capabilities available in the region. “The Flash CT scanner will be the cornerstone in the advanced im-aging capabilities that will be offered at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute,” said Dr. Wiener.

The Countess and Uncle Herbie

BOCA RATON -- As former presi-dent of the Boca Raton Museum of Art I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with “The Countess,” Henri-etta (called Rita by friends) de Hoernle about her support of the Museum and other generosities bestowed by the Countess and her departed husband on Boca Raton.

I have always found her to be easy to talk to, with a great sense of humor. I recall her mentioning that she had attended a Boy Scout Jamboree, and watched an Army parachute team ap-pear through the air. She mentioned her hope of “catching one” for herself.

As did many, I attended her 100th birthday bash at Boca West on the evening of September 24th to wish her well. The evening was as grand as her countenance and raised money for various charities.

As I was leaving, it came to mind that my “Uncle Herbie,” who lives in Delray Beach, would soon celebrate his 100th birthday and a party had been set for his synagogue on West Atlantic.

While Herbie never became a Count, he always counted when it came to his family and mine. Herbie had married my father’s sister Mary shortly after my parents were married in the late 1930’s.

He had started his life’s labor of love when, at age 18, he began work-ing as a “copy boy” for the New York Post shortly after graduating from high school. He never had another em-ployer; winding up as the manager of one of the Post’s departments.

While my father’s family had a well-exercised sense of humor, Herbie was usually the first to turn an everyday moment or moment in history into a reason to laugh or groan.

At his 90th and 95th birthday par-ties he closed the evening with a well practiced and a bit worn vaudeville act.

Herbie has an active Facebook through which he tries to keep the family and his many friends up to date and often passes on op-eds and jokes through e-mails.

Herbie and Mary’s identical twin

sons, my cousins David and Daniel, both licensed psychologists, were sent through college by the incomes of their father and mother, a school teacher.

Early on, after World War II, Her-bie and Mary bought a small home in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, a half dozen blocks from a tri-plex oc-cupied by my grandparents and two aunts and their husbands. Herbie and Mary never moved until coming to South Florida in the late 1970s.

We played a bit of golf at that time and I recall playing a round with Her-bie which ended with a loud splash be-hind me. He had accidentally managed to drive our cart with clubs into a golf course pond in Tamarac.

All I could see was his hat float-ing on the water. Using my five-iron I fished him out. He came out laugh-ing, but not hearing as the water had blitzed his hearing aids.

Herbie was the first in the family to buy an eight millimeter movie camera and a light bar from which we were never safe during any family event. I still have hours of his movies (now on discs) of our Passover Seders and other events which document Herbie’s wish to provide us all with a way to look back at the way we were.

Very few of us will ever have the pleasure of using multi-millions in savings for the benefit of others as has our Countess. Herbie’s life of hard work bought him permanent financial security through a pension and sav-ings, but the joy that he has brought to his family made him a Prince.

11 Years LaterWhere were you? Where were you

when it all went down? I was with a room full of middle school students. Where were you when the planes crashed, the buildings came down, and the world changed forever?

As we remember 9/11 over the years we probably think of so many things; loss, suffering, evil, heroes, loved ones, first responders, military sacrifice, re-building, hope. Somewhere in the midst of all these memories lie questions that haunt many. How could this happen? Will it happen again? Where was God? Rather than pretending these questions do not exist because they are less noisy each passing year, or thinking it is easier to live in our own answers, may I sug-gest something different? I suggest we look at three biblical truths that help us to define reality, and in so doing define a real hope.

First, according to the Scriptures we live in a broken and fallen world. Sin exists and permeates all areas of life. The Bible is not a pessimistic or nega-tive book, it is actually the best selling book of all time because of the grace and hope it offers. But it must first de-fine reality. And the presence of sin is our reality. If you think I am crazy just open any given paper on any given day. Or watch the news tonight. Or check online for the latest current events. Not good. Seriously messed up and broken and painful and chaotic and so on… Evil exists. This is our reality. It was not supposed to be this way, nor will it stay this way forever. But I am getting ahead

of myself, I always love to skip to the good news.

Second, according to the Scriptures we are sinners. It is not just that we live in a broken world, but we in our thoughts, words, and deeds do evil as well. The brokenness is because of us. I as a pastor, and father, and husband, and friend, and writer, am a sinner. I am not alone in this condition.

Because we live in a broken world, with broken people, horrible things hap-pen. The people who committed those terrible crimes on 9/11 were evil people doing evil things. Evil will continue in this world. Jesus even promised that, but he also promised something else. So where is the hope in all of this?

Third, according to the Scriptures we have really good news. The second half of Jesus’ promise to the evil was that we were to “take heart” because he had overcome the world. Here is the best news you will hear all day; Jesus came in to our broken world and died for sin-ners like you and me, he was punished in our place, he overcome our sin and death the proof of which is his resurrection, he offers forgiveness and freedom from sin for those who believe in him, he is coming back to restore and renew all things forever, and in that day will wipe away every tear and right every wrong. There is our hope. His name is Jesus and he is the same yesterday, today, and to-morrow.

Much love, Casey

After a three-week stretch on the road that featured back-to-back games against top-tier Southeastern Conference opponents, the Flori-da Atlantic football team is back home this Sat-urday against North Texas.

Not only is Saturday the first home game for the team in nearly a month, it’s also FAU Pride Day. The athletics department and new AD Pat Chun has a challenge for Owl fans, especially the student body.

“If we get 4,000 students in the stands be-fore kickoff, we will distribute rally towels to all 4,000 students after the first quarter,” said Chun. “You did great turning out for the first game, but we know you can do better! Show your Owl Pride by getting to the game before kickoff !”

Since the Owls last played at their home field, they’ve gone 0-3. It was all the way back on August 31 when they were last at FAU Sta-dium, winning 7-3 over Wagner College. The next week, they lost their Sun Belt Conference Opener to Middle Tennessee State, and then played back-to-back games against teams cur-rently ranked in the top five nationally: No. 5 Georgia and No. 1 Alabama.

Head coach Carl Pelini is “glad to be home,” and described what a win Saturday would mean to the team.

“All the hard work they’re putting in during the week needs to show on the field,” he said. “(A win) would certainly be a boost for every-one: the program, the players and coaches. I’m not going to say we can’t keep getting better if that doesn’t happen. Certainly, they’re pushing themselves, in the meeting rooms and on the field. They’re working at getting better, but a boost would help.”

The squad got a fourth quarter touchdown to snap a nearly 13-quarter scoreless streak by the Alabama defense, a span that saw the Crim-son Tide score 134 unanswered points.

“Just the fact that we kept playing and punched one in there was important,” said Pelini. “I guess I could’ve kicked a field goal, but I felt if we couldn’t get 4th-and-1, they deserved the shutout. So we went for it, and ended up scoring on that drive, which was good to see.”

Pelini has seen a lot of improvement in this early season, especially on special teams.

“Here’s what I see after four weeks: I think special teams-wise, we’ve at least competed or won every game, minus the first game,” he said. “Our coverage teams have been tremendous; our return teams have been at least comparable to what the opponents have been giving us. The punt game has really flipped the field a number

of times and our kickoff team has done a great job giving up nothing, so that’s a definite im-provement over a year ago.”

Two other areas that Pelini is excited about is penalties and turnovers, at least the lack there-of by the team.

“We were a highly penalized team a year ago,” said the coach “We’ve got to be, statisti-cally-speaking, a highly-rated team in terms of number of penalties, and we’re operating efficiently (there). Turnovers were a big deal to us going into the season. We had those mis-cues early, but we’ve gotten better every game in terms of just taking care of the ball and ball security. I’m looking at marked improvements in certain areas.”

There are three areas Pelini pointed to that still do need improvement.

“I want to see us get out of the gates faster and I want us to be a better tackling football team, and I want to be able to run the ball more consistently,” he said. “Those are the things I want to see more improvement on. But I’m see-ing improvement in areas, and I keep saying that’s what this year is about, laying foundations for playing our kind of football. I knew that this was going to be a long haul, it wasn’t just go-ing to be a quick fix. It’s not going to happen

overnight.”North Texas will come to Boca Raton with

the exact same record of 1-3 overall and an 0-1 mark in the Sun Belt. And their season schedule to date looks very similar to that of the Owls: They lost to two top-ranked opponents (No. 3 LSU and No. 8 Kansas State), won over a small-er school at home (34-7 over Texas Southern), and lost their conference opener (14-7 last week to Troy).

Pablo Campos Wins 2012 NASL Golden Boot Award

By: Pedro HeizerAfter the best single-season performance

of his career, it was announced earlier this week that San Antonio Scorpions forward Pablo Campos has received the 2012 NASL Golden Boot Award.

“This award wouldn’t be possible without my teammates and coaches,” said a humbled Campos.

Campos led the NASL with 20 goals this season, tying the NASL single-season record set by former teammate Etienne Barbara of the Carolina Railhawks last season.

As teammates last season for Carolina Railhawks, Barbara and Campos were a 1-2 punch as they finished the season #1 and #2 respectively in goal scoring.

Campos finished his season last year with 12 goal and 2 assists. He moved to the first-year Scorpions in January.

During his stellar 2012 campaign, Cam-

pos was named NASL Offensive Player of the Week on five separate occasions and won Player of Month honors in July.

The 29-year-old Brazilian international now sits first on the NASL’s career scoring list with 37 goals in all competitions, includ-ing NASL Playoffs and the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.

“Pablo was a game-winner for us this year. Whether it was through great indi-vidual effort or playing off services from his teammates, he showed that he is a true goal-scorer,” Scorpions Head Coach Tim Hankin-son said

Nick Zimmerman of the Carolina Rail-hawks finished second in the league with 15 goals followed by Fort Lauderdale rookie Mark Anderson who scored a rookie-high 12 goals this season.

Strikers Tie with FC Edmonton, Face Carolina in 2012 NASL PlayoffsThe Fort Lauderdale Strikers (9W-9T-10L)

completed their 2012 regular season with a 2-2 tie against FC Edmonton (5W-10T-13L) at Clarke Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta on Sun-day. The Strikers had a 2-0 lead going into the 90th minute before FC Edmonton scored twice to pull even. Fort Lauderdale will travel to face the Carolina RailHawks in the first round of the NASL Playoffs unless the Minnesota Stars FC defeat the San Antonio Scorpions in the fi-nal regular season NASL match. If Minnesota wins, the Strikers will instead travel to face the Puerto Rico Islanders.

“It was disappointing on our end because we should have left here with three points, but give Edmonton credit for two good goals,” said Strikers head coach Daryl Shore. “Getting ready for the playoffs, we felt we had a good week of practice and plan on having another good week coming up. We feel like we have a good group and you have to beat the best teams

to make the finals, so it doesn’t matter who we play, we just hope to have a successful run like we did last year.”

Fort Lauderdale took an early 1-0 lead in the 12th minute when Edmonton’s Kevin Hat-chi committed a foul in the penalty area, put-ting Strikers captain Abe Thompson at the penalty spot. Thompson struck the ball toward his right and into the side netting to beat Lance Parker, despite Parker diving to the correct side.

The goal was Thompson’s fourth of the season giving him 17 all-time in his Strikers career, just one behind Romario who tops the record books with 18.

The match would stay 1-0 until the 78th minute when the Strikers broke through with a combination of passes resulting in Abe Thompson playing a through ball which Aly Hassan was able to chip over Parker who was sprinting off his line to attempt to cut off the

pass. The goal was Hassan’s sixth of the sea-son in the NASL and ninth in all competitions, including his three US Open Cup goals.

The Strikers finish the regular season with

two fewer points than in 2011. They will open the 2012 NASL Playoffs on the road versusu the Carolina RailHawks on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 7:00pm.
