BOCA RATON -- On September 13, Palm Beach County Commission Chair Shelley Vana and Vice Chairman Steven Abrams hosted local officials and citizens at the official opening of the new public-use facilities and

Lynn has spent millions preparing the cam-pus for the arrival of the two presidential con-tenders. In addition, Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel has called the debate “a huge event” for the city and for the university.

“This is a national and international opportu-nity,” she said, citing the economic impact com-ing from the “tremendous television coverage” and the arrival of thousands of journalists.

“We are prepared and ready to showcase our lovely community” by way of the debates, she added.

In preparation for the one-on-one, Boca Raton continues its month-long schedule of debate–related programming with a movie un-der the stars on Friday, October 12. Residents and visitors are invited to come watch one of the American Film Institute’s top 100 movies, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” This 1939 Frank Capra film was nominated for 11 Acad-emy Awards, winning for Best Original Story. It explores one man’s effect on American politics, and stars Jean Arthur and James Stewart.

The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, open house, and portrait un-veiling by Dr. Linda Ellington of her late husband, C. Scott Ellington, for whom TBI is named.

BOCA RATON -- The South Florida business com-munity is rallying unprece-dented support for the October 22 Presidential Debate taking place at Lynn University with the official Small Business Part-ner program. The program features both a certificate of designation for each participat-ing business and tickets to the exclusive Small Business Part-ner Presidential Debate View-ing Party, “Vote for Fashion,” presented by Barbara Katz, on October 22 at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, from 7-10:30 p.m.

This unique patriotic-themed event was created by the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, working with Lynn University, the city of Boca Ra-ton, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, General Growth Prop-erties/Mizner Park, and The Buzz Agency. The event will be presented by Barbara Katz, a Boca Raton clothing retailer.

The party will be adjacent to the “Rock the Vote in The Palm Beaches and Boca Raton Live Concert and Screening of the 2012 Presidential Debate, Presented by Xbox LIVE, Fea-turing Neon Trees,” which is taking place at the Mizner Park Amphitheater in downtown Boca Raton at the same time.

The Boca Raton Chamber enlisted the support of busi-nesses, which each paid $255 to receive the designation as an Office Small Business Partner and receive two tickets to the event, which helps Lynn Uni-versity offset the costs of host-ing the debate. The party will feature a patriotic themed fash-

ion show presented by Barbara Katz, food tastings from local restaurants including Uncle Ju-lio’s Fine Mexican Food, Max’s Grille, Oceans 234, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and Villagio, with cocktails provided by Po-tions in Motion.

Guests of the Presidential Debate Viewing Party will be greeted with an interactive Green Screen Stage with in-stant customizable photos that can be sent to cell phones or posted on Facebook, sponsored by Digital Images. Guests will be able to watch both the Neon Trees concert and the debate live streamed on screens.

“Being in the South Florida business community for over 50 years, Barbara Katz Sports-wear is excited and eager to be a part of this premier event in American democracy,” said Su-san Baker, chief operating offi-cer of Barbara Katz. “We are pleased that Lynn University and the Boca Chamber offered Barbara Katz such a dynamic opportunity to be actively in-volved in support of the Boca Raton community. We look forward to participating in what is sure to be an historic event for both Lynn University and Boca Raton.”

FAU Hosts James Finley with Lecture on Spiritual

AwakeningBOCA RATON -- Florida Atlantic

University’s Peace Studies Program in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters hosts Thomas Mer-ton scholar James Finley with the lec-ture “Compassion as a Path to Spiritual Awakening and Inner Peace” Thursday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the Uni-versity Theatre on FAU’s Boca Raton campus.

Finley became a monk at the age of 18 at the cloistered Trappist mon-astery of the Abbey of Gethsemani where the world-renowned monk and author Thomas Merton was his spiri-tual director. Merton studied Eastern meditation techniques and is credited with reviving an interest in Christian meditation. After six years, Finley left the monastery and went on to earn

degrees from the University of Ak-ron, Saint John College and the Fuller Theological Seminary.

Finley now leads retreats and work-shops throughout the United States and Canada. He speaks to people from all religious traditions who seek a way to have a more peaceful mind and heart. He is also a clinical psychologist in pri-vate practice.

During his lecture, Finley will em-phasize the use of mystical compassion in our own lives and in our interaction with others. He will cite passages from The Bhagavad Gita, Christian mystics, The Upanishads, Kabbalah and Tao te Ching. Finley will also talk about the use of meditation. Time will be provid-ed for questions and discussion of the themes presented.

Normally, I don’t like to talk about my own political inclinations. But I have made it clear in the past that I am not a big fan of President Barack Obama.

So, obviously, I’m glad that Mitt Romney came out swinging in Wednesday’s presi-dential debate. And to my mind, he had Mr. Obama on the ropes during much of the 90-minute event.

I’m not just personally glad, I also feel good for the city of Boca Raton. Wednes-day’s debate was informational and interest-ing – even intense. So, when the candidates come to Lynn University on Oct. 22 for their final debate, it should be a barnburner.

My wife and I didn’t let the first debate go by without a lot of conversation. We ac-tually talked until 1 a.m. about what we had seen.

And I told her that, for the first time in four years, I actually felt bad for Mr. Obama. After he and Mitt shared a laugh at the be-ginning of the debate about the fact that it was the Obama’s’ anniversary, the chief ex-ecutive seemed to lose his usual speaking aplomb. I had been afraid that Mr. Obama would outdo Romney on the basis of his de-bating talent alone. But it didn’t happen.

Romney finally seemed to get the mes-sage that he needed to intensify his attacks on the president. And he certainly did. To date, Romney has seemed too aloof and careful about what he was saying. Wednes-day night, he threw out the rule book and made sure his message got out. He was pol-ished and sincere, tough, yet polite.

Politesse doesn’t always work in the po-litical arena. Mike Dukakis, another former governor of Massachusetts and the 1988 Democratic presidential candidate, told me once that he felt his loss to George H.W. Bush was due in large part to his failure to respond in kind to Bush’s jabs and half-truths. Bush dragged out the Willie Horton issue and also implied that Dukakis had gone purposely ignored polluted Boston Harbor. And there were other jabs that also went unanswered. I was afraid Romney might also go down in flames for lack of proper response.

Let me clarify myself on a couple of things. I’ve always voted as an Independent. I’m also from Massachusetts and lived in Rhode Island as well. Both states are highly,

highly Democratic.I remember as a younger man how for-

mer Bay State Governor Frank Sargent – a Republican – screwed up the state’s financial situation so much that when Dukakis – a lib-eral -- stepped in in 1975, he had to slash the budget like no Democrat would normally slash. He did his best to eliminate the title of “Taxachusetts.” And I think he did. But you had to live there at the time to under-stand what he did. I think Mike Dukakis got getting little recognition for bailing out the Bay State when the chips were really down.

I don’t favor Romney because he is from Massachusetts. Actually, he is not a native. I believe he was born in Michigan. But he has taken on the Commonwealth as if it were his home state, and has raised his family as Bay Staters.

I was particularly intrigued by Romney’s comment during the debate that Massachu-setts was Number 1 in the area of colleges and universities. I went to college at North-eastern University, located in the heart of Back Bay, Boston, close to many of those other fine schools Romney alluded to. May-be Romney struck a chord with my own Bay State pride. But you don’t elect presidents on the basis of pride, but on the basis of ability.

Also, I don’t dislike Mr. Obama. He seems like a fine gentleman, a good father and loving husband. He is not a bad man, and in another time, he might have made a very good president. I admit he was hit with a major task when he came to the White House. The nation was financially as bad off as it could get. I don’t blame Mr. Obama for not solving the problem in four years. But I hold him accountable for the fact that the US is virtually the same now as it was in 2008. If someone were to ask me if I am better off today than I was four years ago, I would shout a resounding, “No way.”

My wife wondered why I felt bad for Obama when the debate was over. I felt bad because he was floundering – and presidents shouldn’t flounder. JFK didn’t flounder. Nor did Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan.

At last, Mr. Obama has shown he is vul-nerable – that he is a real person. If he had shown that four years ago, he might be the odds on favorite to win a second term.

POSITIVE LIVING

You Can’t Succeed All Alone!Succeeding at anything in life is often the out-

come of a joint venture, it stems from a collab-orative engagement. Every individual on earth is dependent on others if one is to function ade-quately in society, most especially in areas where something significant is the ultimate goal. Hu-mans are social creatures and operate best inter-dependently because no single person ever has all the answers to anything.

Furthermore, no person should be viewed as omni-competent on any life issue. Despite the abundant knowledge and proven skills which anyone may manifest, there’s something unique which shall still be lacking that only another fel-low human can provide for the completion of something worthwhile.

It’s good and commendable for anyone to

show personal initiative in a new venture, to at-tempt to do as much as he or she can on one’s own. But the time inevitably comes when others must be consulted, when the wisdom and skills from someone else are necessary to be brought onboard, before a project can legitimately reach its successful conclusion.

A practical benefit stemming from all this, is that a unique fraction of the eventual product also brings credit to somebody additional. The inventor, the originator of the idea, the one who may have started the whole enterprise all alone, recognized the need to ask questions of others; she was forced to seek aid on complicated fea-tures. In other words, wisdom led that project initiator to acknowledge other elements of the work to which necessary, beneficial expertise,

should be sought and utilized! This concept was uniquely expressed many

years ago, by a wise American when he pro-claimed: “You cannot borrow character, but you can borrow brains.” With that in mind he dili-gently sought all the right persons with the ex-pertise he lacked, and proceeded to build a great university which still continues to flourish in one of our southern states.

The ingenuity and the final quality of any significant project shall manifest far greater su-periority when it is accomplished with the par-ticipation of a well-chosen team instead of a lone ranger which is limited in scope and proce-dures. This applies to great and small endeavors! It takes joint efforts to bring great endeavors to benefit the human race at any level!

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.

Editorials & Letters

Rick Boxx wrote a great column this week that I thought I would share with you all that talks about ef-fective leadership and how we can all apply that to our daily lives.

Have a great week and God Bless,Douglas Heizer

When my daughter, Megan, said she desired to become an occupational therapist. I did not understand this vocation or what such work would entail. That was before we attended an open house at Kansas University Medical Cen-ter’s Graduate Program for Occupational Ther-apy.

The program director first greeted all of the parents and prospective students, then proceeded to inform us that an occupational therapist’s job is “to discover the dreams of the patient, then help them overcome their challenges to achieve those dreams.”

I had to marvel at this powerful picture of the impact an occupational therapist can have. The program director must have been a wise leader, because she could have described daily duties and would have been accurate in detailing what an occupational therapist does. Instead, she in-spired and encouraged these students with a vi-sion for changing lives. And in the process, she gained the support of parents who felt great en-thusiasm about the meaningful roles their chil-

dren could play in people’s lives.We see many biblical examples of the prin-

ciple of inspiring followers with a great vision for the future. In Deuteronomy 3, for example, God said to Moses, “But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.” God was not just giv-ing Joshua an assignment – He was imparting vision for leading the Israelites.

A savvy leader inspires others with a vision bigger and more important than the specific responsibilities involved in performing the job. You might know the story of the brick mason observed chipping at a large piece of granite, working as part of a large construction crew in Europe. When a passerby asked what he was doing, the mason replied, “I’m building a cathe-dral!” That man had vision.

The challenge for us as leaders is in commu-nicating this vision, enabling people to see their work as bigger than themselves. It starts with us – you cannot give away something you do not possess, so we need to have the greater vision ourselves before we can pass it on to others. That is why I was so impressed by the description of what an occupational therapist actually does.

We spend so much of our time in business focused on the bottom line, striving for profits,

that we often lose sight of a greater vision. In your company, you know the products and ser-vices you provide. But what is your vision – how can your business make a positive, meaningful difference in the lives of people that you touch? Here are two biblical examples.

Make clear what you expect them to do. When Jesus initially approached His future disciples, He needed to convince them to leave their accus-tomed work as fishermen. He simply gave them their new job description: “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19).

FAU Partners With Women in Distress to Offer

Internship ProgramBOCA RATON – Florida Atlan-

tic University’s School of Social Work has partnered with Women in Distress (WID) of Broward County to offer in-ternship opportunities for undergraduate students. FAU undergraduates will gain hands-on work experience while serving the local community.

“We are excited about this new col-laboration that benefits not only our un-dergraduate students in gaining resume-building experiences but also serves our local community in administering crucial services to women and families,” said Mi-chele J. Hawkins, Ph.D., MSW, director for the FAU School of Social Work.

“This partnership will help to ensure the success of our students beyond the classroom by providing a ‘real world’ ap-plication of knowledge and skills through their internship field work at Women in Distress of Broward County.”

WID is a full service domestic vio-lence center serving Broward County for the past 38 years through programs divided into residential services, out-reach services, prevention and education. This summer welcomed the first group of FAU Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students in their final semester as interns at WID’s Deerfield Beach location.

Completing the minimum require-ment of 400 hours per semester, interns received training on how to directly serve victims of domestic violence through ac-tivities that included administering group and individual counseling, individual case management, registrations, safety plan-ning, and crisis line operations.

“This new partnership between FAU’s School of Social Work and Women in Distress is so important,” said Mary A. Riedel, Women in Distress of Broward County President and CEO. “Our partic-ipants served at WID, especially children, are getting compassionate, one-on-one advocacy help and our agency is getting hours of professional services that the interns are able to provide at a time when so many more victims of family violence are coming forward.”

The FAU School of Social Work has more than 200 agencies throughout seven Southeast Florida counties currently par-ticipating in the field education intern-ship program. For the 2011-12 academic year, total student field hours donated to the community through the numerous internship programs equal 143,600 and amount to an estimated local economic impact of more than $3 million.

Four Men Rob Saks Fifth Avenue; Use Sledge Hammer to Take Jewelry

BOCA RATON -- On Thursday, September 20, at 7:53 p.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to Saks Fifth Avenue at the Town Center at Boca Raton mall after receiving a report of a robbery.

Witnesses told police four males wearing masks and black clothing and carrying sledge hammers entered the store through the south doors. The suspects yelled for everyone to “get on the ground.”

Police said the suspects went to several jewelry cases and smashed the glass. The suspects stole an undeter-

mined amount of jewelry and money from a cash register.

The suspects left the store through the south doors and got into a waiting black, four-door BMW. No one was in-jured during the crime.

On Friday, September 21, police said, the BMW was recovered in the residential neighborhood south of the Mall.

If anyone has information about this crime, they are asked to call De-tective Jeff Clare at (561) 338-1246 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS.

Free Breakfasts Now Offered in All County Schools

The Palm Beach County School Food Service Department announces that through its “Power up with Break-fast,” a free morning meal will be of-fered to all students in county schools. The service began Monday, Oct. 1.

Students must select a breakfast that complies with the USDA school break-fast program, which requires them to select food items from three or four of the following food groups: grains, pro-tein, fruit, and milk. At least one of the choices must be from the fruit group.

Studies continue to validate how im-portant it is for students to start their day with a healthy breakfast and how

a well-nourished student has more en-ergy available for cognitive and social activities.

Because the breakfast and lunch pro-grams are self-supporting and do not use general revenue education dollars, there will be no fiscal impact on the school district’s budget and no money taken from the classroom.

Breakfast is served daily, usually 30 minutes prior to the start of the school day. For more information con-tact Steve Bonino at (561) 383-2000 or via email at [email protected].

Aaronson’s Alert: Heed Warnings About Hurricanes – and Also Tropical Storms

By County Commissioner Burt Aar-onson District 5

Every year I remind you about hur-ricane preparation. In many of those articles I mention ‘the past has taught

us that despite the good intentions of government, it takes at least 24 hours to get help to you. Make your prepara-tions now. You owe it to yourself and your family.’”

After seven years with no major storms, no one could have predicted the effects that Tropical Storm Isaac would have on our area. We have all read about the flooding in Loxahatchee, the Acre-age and Deer Run. We saw the pictures on television and in the newspapers – families trapped in their homes, roads impassable, schools in that area closed.

Here in District 5, we were lucky. There was no major damage anywhere. My staff took a number of calls from a handful of communities about minor flooding that blocked entrances.

There was some confusion over who is responsible for draining wa-ter from the lakes, swales and culverts in communities. In District 5, water drains from our communities into ca-nals owned and operated by the Lake Worth District (LWDD). LWDD then discharges water into regional canals

owned and operated by the South Flor-ida Water Management District (SF-WMD).

This three tier system works just fine most of the time. But during ex-traordinary rainfall, water sometimes cannot be moved quickly enough. This was the case with Isaac. If you would like more information about water drainage, you can contact the LWDD at 561-498-5363 or SFWMD at 561-686-8800.

I visited the county’s Emergency Operations Center. Many of our em-ployees worked tirelessly throughout the storm taking calls from the public, monitoring the situation and working with our local agencies to keep you safe. It is reassuring to know that behind the scenes, the county is prepared and ready to assist you.

I am certain that we all learned a few lessons from Isaac. My staff and I learned that communication is vitally important. We will be making a change in my office for those times when the county closes for a storm or hurricane.

When you call you will be directed to the county’s Emergency phone number 561-712-6400 so that you can receive immediate information.

In addition, let me remind you of other ways to “stay in touch” with the latest information. Keep your televi-sions and radios tuned to your local news stations, including Channel 20. Follow us on Twitter @PBCGOV, be-come a fan on Facebook, or visit www.pbcgov.com.

As we move forward, let me remind you once again of the importance of being prepared. Hurricane Season does not end until November 30th. Review your plans and check your supplies now. You owe it to yourself and your family’.

As always, I invite your comments on any issue of interest to you. As your Commissioner, I am here to help you. You may write me at 301 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach, 33401 or call my staff at 276-1310 or toll free at 877-930-2205. My email address is: [email protected].

Commissioner Aaronson

Congressional Candidate Hasner Endorsed by County Police UnionBOCA RATON - Adam Hasner

has announced that the Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association endorsed his campaign for the United States House in Florida’s District 22.

“I am proud to earn the endorse-ment of the association, the men and women who help keep our communities safe,” said Republican Hasner. “I appre-ciate that they understand my proven record of standing up to gangs and my work to provide law enforcement with the tools needed to make our neighbor-hoods safer here in South Florida.”

“The Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association knows both Adam Hasner and (Democratic oppo-nent) Lois Frankel very well and we know how important this race is to the people of our community and the fu-ture of America,” said John Kazanjian, president of the Palm Beach County PBA.

“When it comes to having an open mind, listening to both sides, and tak-ing a responsible, results-oriented ap-proach to keeping our community safe, there is only one choice in the race for

Congress in Florida’s 22nd district - Adam Hasner,” he added.

Hasner’s campaign has also been endorsed by the nonpartisan Voter’s Coalition, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Business, Associated Builders and Con-tractors, and other national organiza-tions. He is also supported by a co-alition of current and former elected officials, both Democrat and Republi-can, throughout Palm Beach and Bro-ward counties.

DELRAY BEACH -- The Delray Beach Playhouse begins its 2012-13 season with an intriguing mystery, “A Talent for Mur-der,” the story of a popular mystery writer who discovers that someone is plotting to murder her. The show runs October 5 – 21 and tickets are $30, $15 for students.

What if Agatha Christie had become the intended victim in one of her own mysteries? That is the premise of this witty and constantly surprising comedy-mystery about a world famous mystery writer named Anne Royce McClain, played by Charlotte Sherman, who learns that her life is being threatened by someone in her own household.

Could it be her live-in doctor, Dr. Wain-

wright played by Stan Greenblum, who also used to be her lover? Or could it be Rashi, played by Mark Hetelson, her enig-matic Indian butler? Or one of the young relatives named in what will undoubtedly be a very substantial will?

The cast includes: George Wentzler, Ben Foley, Daryl Meyer and Patricia Gar-cia.

“A Talent for Murder” opens on Octo-ber 5 and plays through October 21. Eve-ning performances are at 8 p.m. and Sat-urday and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are available at The Delray Beach Playhouse. Reservations can be made by calling the Box Office at (561) 272-1281 Ex.4. Group Rates are available.

Not another time-travel movie!That’s what I thought when I first heard

the premise of “Looper.” Then the accolades started coming in for stars Joseph-Gordon Leavitt and Bruce Willis and writer-director Rian Johnson.

Intrigued, I saw “Looper” as a paying cus-tomer and I’m glad I did. It is the best sci-ence-fiction-crime thriller so far in 2012 and I think it is destined to be a classic.

“Looper” is set mostly in 2044, but it har-kens ahead to 2072 and a decayed, corrupt and crime-ridden future. In the year 2074 time-travel was invented and quickly out-lawed. The reason becomes apparent with the definition of Loopers, who are hired assassins who go back into the past and blow away a target destined to cause trouble for the mob in the future.

Joe (Joseph Gordon-Leavitt) is one such Looper. So is Seth (Paul Dano), his best buddy.

Loopers live a relatively good life, but at a fearsome price. One day each will be forced to “Close the Loop,” or in other words kill them-selves and vanish without a trace.

Writer-director Rian Johnson doesn’t cre-ate any complex mumbo-jumbo to make this premise believable. You either buy it or you don’t. If you do buy into it, as I think most people will, the scenario presents all kinds of tough moral dilemmas.

Joe is faced with the dilemma of killing his older self, played by Bruce Willis. He chokes, old Joe escapes, and the chase is on.

As with the time-travel premise, Johnson makes hardly any effort to create a futuristic look. People drive the same cars we do now. Joe drives a Mazda Miata roadster. There is one whiz-bang jet motorcycle thing and some CG animation of a big city. This is no big-budget blockbuster. Its power comes from the mind-bending twists and ironic turns of the story and the amazing performances of the two stars.

Joseph-Gordon Leavitt has been physical-ly altered with makeup, prosthetics, dye and contact lenses to more resemble Bruce Willis. More importantly, you sense a mutual respect and bond between the younger and older ac-tor. Willis does the best acting he has in years as a man torn by loss and regret. Leavitt proves he has moved into the major leagues with his most powerful performance to date.

There is a side plot involving a single mom (Emily Blunt) and her otherworldly son Cid (Pierce Gagnon) who may or may not

grow up to be a truly evil figure. There are echoes of Old Testament retri-

bution as the characters teeter between pain-ful good and lucrative evil. For once the end-ing is not a cop-out. I’ll say no more except this film sets the mark for high-emotional ac-tion/drama for this year or perhaps any other.

Four stars Something is Rotten in “The Oranges” There is no shortage of drama in the

suburbs. Take “The Oranges,” if you will.David and Paige Walling (Hugh Laurie

and Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy Ostroff (Oliver Platt and Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbors in West Orange, New Jersey in this domestic/romantic com-edy directed by Julian Farino and written by Jay Weiss and Ian Heifer.

The story is narrated by the Wallings’ sourpuss daughter Vanessa (Alla Shawkat). Vanessa is 24 and still living at home. Neither her career nor her love life are going any-where fast.

The calm is broken when Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meister), the Ostroff ’s beautiful daughter and Vanessa’s former best friend, arrives unexpectedly just before Thanksgiv-ing after a five-year absence.

It seems that Nina’s imagined perfect life has just evaporated. Her self-possessed fiancé Ethan (Sam Rosen) has broken the engage-ment and announced he is off to Europe, without Nina.

Crestfallen and vulnerable, Nina turns not to Vanessa’s perfect brother Toby (Adam Brody) but to handsome David Walling (Lau-rie) for sympathy. She gets more than either bargained for. It seems that David’s relation-ship with his obsessive wife Paige (Keener) has been deteriorating without either one re-ally noticing. When a beautiful young thing shows an interest in David, he is tempted to throw caution to the winds.

There is some slapstick comedy in “The Oranges,” with the righteously angry Terry doing battle with his best buddy David, but there is a fair amount of pain too, particularly on the part of the “woman scorned,” played with equal parts sorrow and resolve by the formidable Keener.

“The Oranges” is one rung above a typi-cal situation comedy, but it reminds us there is more going on than meets the eye in the suburbs.

Two and a half stars

When called upon to review restau-rant s we seek consistency in above-par taste, texture and presentation through-out the menu offerings. Saltimbocca has exceeded our expectations to the degree that we will merely list the fine dished we sampled without specific comments.

Antipasti- Shrimp Sambucca , Cajon seared jumbo shrimp sautéed with crisp vegetables in sweet and spicy Sambucca sauce.

Braised beef short ribs with root veg-etables, leeks and crimini mushrooms in a rich bordelaise sauce.

Crispy fried calamari served with mar-inara sauce and a garlic arugula aioli.

Six escargots served in a very light garlic butter, chardonnay wine, fresh herb sauce with mushrooms.

Soups – Soup du Jour was hot chick-en soup with shards of chicken pieces and vegetables. The spicy crab bisque on menu was deliberately served tepid, not hot with a fine petite crab cake afloat.

Salads – a stacked Napoleon of fresh mozzarella and vine ripe tomatoes, rich with fresh basil oil and a balsamic glaze.

An arugula and goat cheese salad had Mandarin orange slices and Bermuda on-ion slivers in a balsamic citrus dressing. Caesar salad had crisp shards of romaine with croutons in homemade Caesar dress-ing and slivers of Romano cheese.

Steaks and Chops – a veal chop Saltim-bocca was sautéed in a Marsala demiglace, topped with prosciutto and Buffalo moz-zarella, served with Yukon gold mashed. The blackened prime rib eye gorgonzola was pan seared in a Madeira wine sauce, with polenta and asparagus and crimini mushrooms. Walnut encrusted rack of lamb- done medium- was served with rosemary infused port demiglace sauce plus mixed vegetables and Yukon gold mashed. A honey roasted pork chop fea-tured a balsamic reduction and brandied apples and pears.

Saltimbocca has a list of 14 Italian fa-vorites and we tasted four. A veal Saltim-bocca with mushroom and prosciutto on a bed of spinach with melted mozzarella. A veal Marsala featured a sweet Marsala mushroom demiglace sauce. Both these specialties can be had with chicken in lieu of veal. The chicken cacciatore is sautéed in marinara sauce with peppers, onions and mushrooms. For pasta we sampled creamy Vodka sauce over tender penne.

Chef Mark presented Osso Bucco, a braised veal shank with porcini mush-rooms and saffron risotto and superb taste. He has eight other Chef ’s special-ties on this menu.

We ended our adventure with tast-ings of an excellent chocolate velvet cake sample followed by Italian cheesecake and a tiramisu- all rich and delicious.

The restaurant seats 170 plus a private room seating 80. Saltimbocca has a full bar – seating 20-and a lounge that seats 25. In addition to 5 house wines there are 9 white and sparkling plus 8 reds – all by the glass. Wines by the bottle number 35 offerings.

Open in December of 2011, the menu listings are permanent yet Chef ’s specials are offered daily. Open for luncheon and dinner from 11:30AM to 10PM week-days, they offer dinners only, Saturday and Sunday from 4:30PM to 10PM. A child’s menu is available daily as well. Saltimi-bocca is located at 14820 South Military Trail in Delray Beach (561-455-4390).

This new Italian restaurant , an el-egant modern setting with beige/brown décor offers both tables and booths. A singer performs music of Tony Martin, Frank Sinatra et al each Thursday night from 7PM to 10PM.

Pricing for food and wine is a bit up-scale – we feel the general portions of superb food make this pricing reasonable. Obviously, we suggest that you…Go and Enjoy!

SALTIMBOCCA – the Ultimate in Italian Dining!

Let’s Talk Life & Style Kay Renz

A serious health concern for many people and their partners in bed is snoring, grinding of their teeth and the fact that they might stop breathing. This problem is called sleep apnea. Classic symptoms of this malady are fatigue, sleepiness and snoring.

Using a CPAP (mask-like con-traption) makes many people claus-trophobic and so Dr. Alvaro Betan-cur recommends an oral device. He says that sleep apnea is significantly underdiagnosed, which led him to obtain advanced training in that area beside his practice, which en-compasses general dentistry, oral surgery, dental implants and sleep medicine.

Sleep apnea sufferers repeatedly stop breathing while asleep, some-times up to 500 times a night. The body needs oxygen so when it is de-prived of it, this can cause a myriad of diseases such as heart problems, high blood pressure and adult onset diabetes.

When sleep apnea us treated us-ing oral appliances, the grinding comes to a stop. The headaches in the morning are gone, sore jaws dis-appear, and the teeth are protected, saving the patient a great deal of money.

Medical insurance and Medicare pay for this kind of treatment. “ It’s

less costly for them to treat the sleep apnea than to have to handle the co-morbidities down the road,” Dr. Be-tancur says.

Dr. Betancur works with several physicians and pulmonologists. “In terms of oral appliances, patients have many options. Dr. Betancur notes that, “ There are over a hun-dred FDA-approved appliances for the treatment of sleep apnea. Using these oral appliances gives us a lot of freedom to adjust for the patient and tailor it to his or her needs.”

Many ADD/ADHD patients are children who have sleep apnea. These children are terrible sleep-ers, which many parents think is caused by hyperactivity. “The brain shouldn’t be hyperactive when we’re asleep.” The problem is that these children are not getting enough air, so they wake to change position to get air. Children that have sleep ap-nea can be diagnosed incorrectly as having ADD/ADHD.

“The solution is to have the ad-enoids and tonsils removed and see-ing an orthodontist to get the spe-cial appliance needed to treat them.. Children can be treated starting at age 2 and in a matter of four to six weeks this helps them breathe better and sleep normally,” says Dr. Betan-cur.

Nordstrom Reveals its Own Beauty Makeover

Hello gorgeous!! Nordstrom Boca Ra-ton recently revealed its glamorous new cosmetics department. The makeover fea-tures beautiful bright light fixtures, spa-cious walking areas and a plethora of the best beauty brands displayed in a user-friendly fashion.

To celebrate the department’s glamor-ous new look, the store hosted a Beauty on Location event, where each brand show-cased the newest products with makeovers, demonstrations and special appearances. Bobbi Brown’s Global Artist, Rogelio Reyna, was also there with his team talk-ing about the newest products Brown is launching.

“The customers are raving,” said Chris-topher Coles, Nordstrom’s cosmetics manager. “The makeover took us about 2 months to complete, and we are so thrilled with the design. It’s modern, fresh, friend-ly, very open, and it was designed to meet all ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements.”

As we walked through the department, you could see the incredible attention to detail that went into creating each coun-ter. The layouts are visually stunning and the accessibility makes shopping fun and inviting. Coles made special note of the incredible emphasis placed on the skin care section and the artistry brands, which in-clude Stila, Kevyn Aucoin, Vincent Longo, and Winks Lashes by Georgie Beauty.

“Boca women want the next big thing,” he said. “The women are very smart, they ask a lot of questions and they want exclu-sives. Skin care is very important to them, so we made sure to provide a lot of depth in that area. In addition, women here like to try many different lines. They want to experiment. They are very savvy. And they are also great makeup artists themselves.”

That day the store was overflowing with innumerable Boca women, plus ladies who drove all the way from Miami and Palm Beach to see the new department and to partake in the shopping bonuses includ-ing snatching up a jazzy red tote bag with a purchase of $125 or more. Many tote hold-

ing gals were lined up by the Bobbi Brown counter to get their chance for a makeover with Rogelio Reyna and his team. The Global Artist had lots of tips to share and was enthusiastically chatting about Bobbi Brown’s latest book, Pretty Powerful.

“I love the book,” said Reyna. “It’s very inspirational. In it celebrities, athletes and real women share what beauty means to them.” The book also offers Bobbi’s incred-ibly smart tips for celebrating your own in-dividuality.

“For this season, Bobbi is focusing on the basics,” he continued. “Today, I am showing the women here how to select the right natural colors for them. The earth tones, the pinks, the roses, the suedes. And how to mix and match to create what you like.”

Foundation is also a big issue in Florida. Beauty meltdowns due to heat and humid-ity are year-round problems, so Reyna was quick to showcase the Longwear Founda-tion.

“This is really amazing,” he said. “It lasts 12 hours, is sweat proof, but it hydrates and feels incredible on your skin.”

Another hot topic was the BB cream. Beauty magazines are buzzing about these so-called blemish balms or beauty balms depending on the ingredients. The craze started in Asia, explained Reyna, and they are now the hot thing in cosmetics as they blend tinted moisturizers with SPF and skin care ingredients. Reyna explained that Brown’s BB, helps with many skin issues including acne, oiliness, hydration, aging and more. It comes in 5 skin tone correct colors.

“It looks like skin,” he said. “And it really perfects the skin. So you can use it alone or you can use it under your foundation.”

“I love it,” said shopper Maureen Walk-er. “I came just to see what the new depart-ment was like and am leaving with an in-credible new product.”

Nordstrom Boca is planning another event like this November 9 and 10, but even bigger. South Florida shoppers already have their calendars marked!

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

THE CITIZENS VOICEBy Al Zucaro

Municipal News

Popularity Contest or Substantive Debate….

A few weeks ago, two things occurred that brought the District 89 State Rep-resentative race between incumbent Bill Hager and challenger former Speaker of the Florida House, Tom Gustafson, into the proverbial spotlight.

The first was receiving an invitation for a fund raiser that had many local political names endorsing Bill Hager to represents the interests of Boca Raton and 15 other municipalities along the coastline from Fort Lauderdale to Riviera Beach. The sec-ond item was the entry into the District 89 race of Tom Gustafson, a name that may be remembered from his days in the Florida legislature as its Speaker and as an expert on issues directly related to coastal commu-nities and environmental concern.

Well, with Boca Raton politics being what they are, one can only wonder the rea-sons for such an overwhelming one sided early political endorsement.

To begin, this is a partisan race. Hager is a republican with a partisan reputation as evidenced by the issue statements posted on his campaign website. see www.billhag-er.org/meet-Bill .

Bill is well known in the local commu-nity. He was a former City Council member and Deputy Mayor; he was a businessman in the community serving as President and CEO of NCCI in the 1990s; he was a family man in District 89 for over 20 years; and he has been highly visible amongst the social and cocktail set of Boca Raton for a very long tim

Since being elected to the House in 2010, he has served on 5 committees includ-ing one of particular note to Boca Raton; to wit: the Transportation and Highway Safety Subcommittee. Other committees are the Judiciary, the Insurance and Bank-ing, the Pre K Appropriations, and the Civil Justice Subcommittees.

In researching the legislation he has championed that may be relevant to these Boca Raton endorsements, there is little to report. Besides being somewhat vocal in the insurance area and calling for the end to Citizens’ Insurance, opting in favor of a free market model, there is not much to report relevant to the issues here in Boca Raton.

In the issues section of his website there is no mention of urban redevelop-ment, planned mobility, density, congestion, or transportation. There is also no mention of coastal environmental concerns, beach restoration, or inland navigation matters, items of great import to Boca Raton as well as the other coastal communities within the district.

Shifting Sands…..Tom Gustafson presents a somewhat

different picture. In this partisan race, he is a democrat. However, his legislative repu-tation and history demonstrates a political personality that can and has reached across the aisle as necessary to get the job done.

In 1990, after having served in the Florida House for 14 years with 2 years as speaker, Tom left politics to follow what has been his focus for over 30 years now. Tom

is an often sought after speaker on many topics related to transportation funding op-portunities, sustainable development and livable communities. His political and aca-demic accomplishments are remarkable and too voluminous to list here. Suffice it to say that he has touched our lives on the local, state, and federal levels for many years. To see the details visit http://cake.fiu.edu/TI-GER2012/bio/Gustafson.pdf .

In the last few weeks, Tom has inserted himself to understand Boca Raton’s is-sues with planned mobility. He commends Charlie Seimon’s amendment proposals but recognizes that the community is not pre-pared, not educated and not ready to accept these items on face value. He has already begun to bring forward ideas to reduce the angst amongst citizens while keeping in mind the developers’ needs and desires. His inherent understanding of these issues is demonstrably evident to anyone who will take the time to discuss these matters with him.

Elections have consequences….It seems that there is a lot yet to learn

about the District 89 race and the two can-didates seeking the office. Citizens may find additional items to reinforce their belief that the council’s action rushing through increases in density is simply wrong. Citi-zens are demanding the benefit of further community discussion and further dia-logue. Perhaps the District 89 State Rep-resentative race is the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Council members would be well served by calling for a debate between the candi-dates. After all, as seen in the Archstone litigation, it is the State Legislature that passes laws which become subject to chal-lenges in the local communities. It seems that before our elected leaders endorse one candidate, especially one that is not being heard on the issues of the day here in Boca Raton, the council should give the citizens opportunity to explore which candidate would better serve the citizens’ interests.

At a recent Homeowner Association Council meeting, both candidates were given five minutes to address the audience. This interaction displayed differences in style, understanding and platforms mostly on the Citizens’ Insurance question. How-ever, what was apparent is that whichever candidate wins the seat, the winner’s ef-fectiveness in Tallahassee will have direct impacts on our community, the great city of Boca Raton….

Like a salmon swimming up stream, this writer believes that Tom Gustafson is the better candidate to represent our inter-ests. He is better prepared, better informed and the better spokesperson on the issues of greatest impact to the citizens of Boca Raton in this next upcoming legislative ses-sion.

So back to the original question, popu-larity contest or substantive debate….I vote for substantive debate….

BOCA RA-TON -- Are you

looking to expand your workforce but hav-ing a hard time finding the right fit? An ef-fective job description can help define roles and expectations to find your perfect em-ployee.

Job descriptions also:• Help attract the right job candidates• Describe the major areas of an employ-ee’s job or position• Serve as a major basis for outlining per-formance expectations, job training, job evaluation and career advancement• Provide a reference point for compensa-tion decisions and unfair hiring practices

Overview• A job description should be practical, clear and accurate to effectively define your needs. Good job descriptions typically be-gin with a careful analysis of the impor-

tant facts about a job such as:• Individual tasks involved• The methods used to complete the tasks• The purpose and responsibilities of the job• The relationship of the job to other jobs• Qualifications needed for the job

What to Avoid• Don’t be inflexible with your job descrip-tion. Jobs are subject to change for personal growth, organizational development and/or evolution of new technologies. A flex-ible job description encourages employees to grow within their position and contrib-ute over time to your overall business.

What to Include• Job descriptions typically include:• Job title• Job objective or overall purpose state-ment• Summary of the general nature and level of the job• Description of the broad function and scope of the position• List of duties or tasks performed critical to success

• Key functional and relational responsi-bilities in order of significance• Description of the relationships and roles within the company, including supervisory positions, subordinating roles and other working relationshipsAdditional Items for Recruiting Situations:• Job specifications, standards, and require-ments• Job location where the work will be per-formed• Equipment to be used in the performance of the job• Collective bargaining agreements if your company’s employees are members of a union• Salary range

Proper Language in the Job De-scription• Keep each statement in the job descrip-tion crisp and clear:• Structure your sentences in classic verb/object and explanatory phrases. • Since the occupant of the job is the sub-ject of your sentence, it may be eliminat-ed. For example, a sentence pertaining to

the description of a receptionist position might read: “Greets office visitors and per-sonnel in a friendly and sincere manner.”• Always use the present tense of verbs.• If necessary, use explanatory phrases telling why, how, where, or how often to add meaning and clarity (e.g. “Collects all employee time sheets on a bi-weekly basis for payroll purposes.”)• Omit any unnecessary articles such as “a,” “an,” “the,” or other words for an easy-to-understand description.• Use unbiased terminology. For example, use the he/she approach or construct sen-tences in such a way that gender pronouns are not required.• Avoid using adverbs or adjectives that are subject to interpretation such as “fre-quently,” “some,” “complex,” “occasional,” and “several.”

America is Still the Best Place for Nations to do

BusinessThe global recession continues to sap

the economic strength of many nations.If you’re an international entrepre-

neur looking for a stable place to invest your money, there’s no better choice than the United States.

Certainly, the economy in the US, like that of many other countries, contin-ues to sputter along with frustratingly high unemployment and sluggish GDP growth. But the American economy has always bounced back from economic slowdowns with renewed strength.

America’s influence on business cul-ture across the globe is unmistakable. This can be seen more clearly through examination of key concepts and values of the American culture:

Individualism - The concept of indi-vidualism in the US plays a significant role in the lives of many Americans. The nation’s culture emphasizes individual initiative and personal achievement. In-dependence and self-reliance are highly valued, and this also extends to the work-place where business is frequently carried out autonomously. Consequently, one’s position in US society is determined by one’s own achievements as opposed to status or age. This is particularly im-portant during an economic downturn. Some businesses have fallen on hard times while others continue to prosper. In the US, the government often plays an important role, offering initiatives or eas-ing regulations to spur business growth.

Low context culture – Generally speaking, those cultures described as low context tend to communicate mean-ing and information explicitly through words. Americans are task-centered; thus, the primary purpose of communi-cation is to exchange information, facts and opinions.

In the US, conflict is dealt with di-rectly and openly, and for this reason, Americans will not hesitate to say “no” or criticize others in public. This direct style of speech is often interpreted by foreign visitors as rude and may cause embarrassment to business people who are unaccustomed to such explicit com-munication. However, it is important to remember that in a business context it bears no relation to personal feelings and should not be taken as such. Multi-billionaire businessman Donald Trump begins his popular “Apprentice” televi-sion program with the quote: “It’s not personal, it’s just business.”

Egalitarianism – An important ele-ment of American culture is the concept of equality. Despite the many differences within American society, there is a col-lective understanding of the notion of equality that underlines many social rela-tionships in the US. Americans believe in having equal rights, equal social obliga-tions and equal opportunities based on the

concept of individual merit. Consequent-ly, there is a general lack of deference in the US to people of greater wealth, age, higher social status or authority. This is evident in the way in which titles are sel-dom used in business environments and how Americans call each other by their first names almost immediately.

Egalitarianism also contributes to the system of merit frequently referred to as the “American Dream,” in which hard work is rewarded with success and finan-cial prosperity. This concept has been muddied recently during the presidential campaign. President Obama, in a recent speech, indicated that business people did not succeed on their own, but were aided by another entity or person. “You didn’t build that on your own,” he said to citizens, many of whom have started suc-cessful enterprises or retired after selling one off. While Obama has tried to back-track from that line, it has been picked up and used by presidential hopeful Mitt Romney against his foe. Many business people have also responded with signs at their firms proudly stating, “I built this.” Indeed, the economy of the United States is build on the strength of small businesses. And while the recession may have slowed growth, this, too, shall pass and the United States will return to its pre-eminent position in the world mar-ket.

America has a long history of eco-nomic stability, one that has endured through two world wars, a war between the North and South, and conflicts in Ko-rea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

It is that history of stability that, even now, draws investors from China and other Asian nations. Brazil has a thriv-ing trade with the US as well.

America also has a culture of tak-ing care of its own. Even while unem-ployment remains high and people lose medical health coverage, the government steps in with unemployment payments, food stamps and Medicaid. Elders de-pend on Social Security and Medicare – all government programs.

And while these programs often draw criticism among those in American po-litical office as being too generous or en-couraging laziness, at the end of the day, these services prevail. To criticize is the right of every US citizen under the Con-stitution – a document that grants a level of freedom few other nations have.

American businesses have always found a way to survive the most difficult financial times. Even now, they are find-ing solutions to their problems as they adapt to a new world order.

Today, the US is considered to have the strongest and most technologically powerful economy. Investments in Amer-ica are likely to endure and thrive.

John Hancock Financial to Lease 15,000 Square Feet at

West Camino Center

BOCA RATON -- The John Han-cock Financial Network/The Part-ners Network has signed a 10-year, 10-month lease for some 15,000 square feet at the Fountains Center office and retail park in Boca Raton.

The company will occupy the en-tire third floor of the 7700 building at 7700 West Camino Real. The building will be renamed The John Hancock Financial Network@7700. An early December move is planned.

Richard T. Cleary, president and managing partner of The Partners Network, said this will be a relocation from its current location two blocks away.

The Partners Network was repre-sented in the office lease transaction by Mark Rubin of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, a leading commer-cial real estate advisory and services firm.

Cleary said he met with Zvi Schwarzman, managing partner for Boca Medical Plaza, LLC, the Foun-tains Center’s new ownership group,

and Patrick Watson Hogan of ZVI Construction, who was the “go-to guy” for working out all the lease de-tails. “The experience has been a good one,” he pointed out.

Boca Medical Plaza, LLC acquired the mixed-use center (then known as The Fountains at Camino) in Feb-ruary 2012. The investor group changed the center’s name and com-mitted substantial dollars to enhance and stabilize it in order to attract new tenants and increase its value. Major capital improvements are under way, including renovations and new inte-rior build-outs for the many offices, executive suites, retail space and res-taurants. Exterior enhancements are being made as well.

“We are extremely excited to be moving our offices to Fountains Cen-ter because of all of the great changes and updates the new owners are deliv-ering. We believe Fountains Plaza will become one of the key business plazas in the Boca Raton area,” added Cleary.

John Hancock Financial Network/The Partners Network specializes in helping individuals and businesses with their insurance and wealth man-agement needs.

Marketing & PR Campaigns

We will soon be experiencing an-other historic event – the presiden-tial election on Tuesday, November 6. The debates have already begun. The political parties are constantly get-ting positive words out to the public to get the votes and they do this with planned marketing and public rela-tions campaigns. Campaigns come in various styles, designs and formats. We have political, military recruiting cam-paigns and the all-important business campaigns to name a few. Is there a commonality that makes one campaign a success and another a failure? The secret formula for success is superior marketing and the secret ingredient is high-quality PR and consistent adver-tising.

In 2008, the United States of Amer-ica experienced the ultimate represen-tation of marketing and PR in the po-litical campaigns to elect a president. It was one of the most intense, complex and expensive campaign exercises we have ever experienced. To reach their goal and target markets, both parties’ strategies involved enormous research, planning, appropriating proper per-sonnel, acquiring financial resources and executing and measuring results. During the campaign the political teams targeted segments of the popu-lation, analyzed their needs and offered plans to solve their problems.

The expenditures in these politi-cal campaigns ran into the high mil-lions (and it is estimated that this 2012 presidential campaign will be in the billions). The decisions on where to spend the advertising dollars and achieving positive media coverage fol-low the same thinking and planning that one would do in planning any type of campaign. Timing, personnel and using the proper form of media is es-sential. The results of careful planning and effective implementation thereof will determine whether the campaign is successful.

The marketing and public relations campaign starts off with organizing a plan. Planning is the key to getting the job done. This planning procedure

must include the goals, courses of ac-tion, funding, research and a system of measurements as an integrated ap-proach to the campaign. The initial overview of the campaign must be spelled out with the specific goals and a plan for how to reach them. A clear def-inition of what are to be the results is paramount to the whole procedure. We can look at the planning stage as a lad-der with ten steps—you can’t go to the second step until you’ve stepped on the first one, you can’t go to the third until you’ve stepped on the second, and so on—which culminates at a completed campaign plan:

• Marketing and public relations campaign overview including analysis.

• Establish plans, goals and objec-tives

• Establish target market/s• Establish a budget• Establish strategies• Assign people who will participate

listing specific responsibilities, func-tions, and duties

• Timing – establishing starting and completion times

• Develop the message• Decide on how to deliver the mes-

sage – TV, radio, print media, direct mail, Internet, social media, events

• Develop a method to measure per-formance

So you see that your individual busi-ness, like the business of government, must incorporate these principles in your campaign. Presumably some of the smartest brainpower in govern-ment are using these procedures, so why not take advantage of their knowl-edge and follow suit in your business.

How To Confront A Crisis

There is a humorous story about a woman that won a huge fortune in a state-run lottery. Upon receiving the news, she called home to her live-in boyfriend and told him, “I have just won the lottery! Start packing!” Her boyfriend replied, “That’s fantas-tic! Should I pack for warm or cold weather?” She answered without emotion, “I don’t care – just as long as you are out of the house by the time I get home!”

That man had a crisis! And that is the way many crises are – they arrive totally unexpected, finding us com-pletely unprepared for dealing with them. Like it or not, unexpected cri-ses are a part of life. And at this ex-act moment you are in one of three phases: Either you just got out of a crisis; you are in a crisis right now; or you are headed into a crisis.

There is a fascinating story of a shipwreck in the New Testament of the Bible (Acts 27), from which we can glean three timeless insights for crisis management that you can apply directly to your business:

DETERMINE THE REA-SON. Ask yourself, “What is really the reason behind this crisis?” The cause is often deeper than what appears on the surface. In the case of the ship-wreck recounted by the apostle Paul in the book of Acts, three reasons are cited: (1) They listened to bad advice; (2) they followed popular opinion, and (3) they relied on circumstances rather than what they knew was the right thing to do. If you are having difficulty sorting out the reason for a crisis – try praying about it. King Da-vid of Israel wrote, “I tried to think this problem through but it was too difficult for me until I went into Your

temple” (Psalm 18:16).DETERMINE THE RE-

SULT. Second, ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?” Every crisis is an opportunity to enlarge my per-spective, sharpen my skills, and de-velop my character.

DETERMINE YOUR RE-SPONSE. And third, ask yourself: “What is the best way to respond to this?” Regardless of what else you do, your response should include three elements:

• Confront the problem. You rare-ly solve a problem by ignoring it. It probably will not be easy, but God will be with you if you ask Him for strength.

• Confess your part (if any). If you brought this crisis on yourself, admit it and ask forgiveness. Do not make excuses, and do not shift blame to others. Accepting responsibility is a mark of genuine leadership and emo-tional maturity.

• Claim a promise. Did you know in

the Bible there are more 7,000 prom-ises from God to help you? They are like blank checks waiting to be filled in. What are you waiting on? If you do not know the Bible very well, ask a friend who does to help in finding a promise that applies to your situation.

God makes one such promise in

Philippians 4:6-7, where He tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and pe-tition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all under-standing, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

At the Mall, and to the Max

I love the Town Center mall. I don’t shop a lot, but when I do… that is where you can find me. And there I was one recent evening in search of presents for my secretary and parale-gal. My wife Bonnie was at my side, as I am not to be trusted in shopping for women’s gifts

Earlier in the week a vendor that I use in my law practice had sent me a $100 gift card to The Capitol Grille, one of my favorites when I receive a gift card. The steak was excellent and the bill, plus tip only $72 more than the value of the card.

It was the side show that caught our attention. An older couple and a younger, perhaps the older couple’s son and daughter-in-law, were seated next to our table for the older wom-an’s birthday.

We are always tolerant of our se-nior snowbirds from the Northeast whose less than dulcet tones occa-sionally interrupt our own conversa-tion with complaints of a table loca-tion and other restaurant features. We knew that when we came for din-ner at a 6 p.m. time for pre-shopping purposes, we would not be dining, but using our gift card to get into the holiday spirit.

We ordered a couple of nice glass-es of wine and it was clear the folks next to us were doing the same, ex-cept for the condo-blonde mom, who, according to my wife, had ordered a martini.

What caught our attention was the refill. When the martini was con-sumed, the woman took a container out of her designer purse and filled

her martini glass with something that looked like a Cosmo. When ques-tioned by her family, her loud reply was that, “all of my friends do that. Why should I pay another $15.00?”

We settled up and left for shopping at Nordstrom’s, one of our favorite stores and a good place to buy wom-en’s items in our price range. On the way we noticed that one of the mall’s art galleries featured a personal ap-pearance by Peter Max.

While neither of us had any inter-est in Max or his work, we thought it might be fun to look at the gallery’s stock of the brightly colored, popu-lar work of one of the few American Artists who has managed to make a good living with marginal work and top notch promotion. (Just our opin-ions.) Actually seeing this iconic fig-ure might be fun as well.

As you might know by now pho-tography is one of my hobbies, and I approached Peter with my iPhone camera at the ready. He was less than cooperative. Sticking his hand up be-tween himself and my tiny lens, he shouted, “No, no.” I did take a pho-tograph, and I guarantee you I will not publish it in the Tribune, and the photo will not make my website.

It dawned on us as we drove home that the subject matter of a large portion of the money made by Peter Max through his sales of paintings and reproductions peddled during his career were of a subject that was owned by us, and by you, through our government: The Statute of Liberty, a small National Park supported by our taxes. Perhaps he forgot.

Miami HEAT 2012-2013 Season PreviewBy: Pedro Heizer

The 25th season of Miami Heat basketball will kick off October 30th as the Defending NBA Champions face the Boston Celtics at the American Airlines Arena as LeBron James will fi-nally receive his elusive first champion-ship ring, and Dwyane Wade will add another one to his collection.

After yet another terrific offseason orchestrated by Heat president Pat Ri-ley, the Miami Heat were able to sign one of the biggest sought-after free agents, Ray Allen.

Allen comes to the NBA Champi-ons after spending the past five seasons with the Boston Celtics. Allen rejected a two-year $12 Million deal by Boston and came to Miami for much less.

Not only did Miami sign Ray Allen, but they also landed his former team-mate from Seattle, Rashard Lewis.

Unlike the previous season after a championship run, the Heat got better this offseason with Allen and Lewis. Both are lethal from beyond the 3-point line and they will join Mike Miller, James Jones and Shane Battier and let threes rain from downtown at the American Airlines Arena this season.

Below is the 2012-2013 Season Pre-view:

Starting Five: • Mario Chalmers • Dwyane Wade • Udonis Haslem • LeBron James • Chris BoshDuring media day, Bosh said he was

finally at peace with the idea of playing center for the Heat. Personally, Haslem would be much better off in a start-ing role like he used to be before the Big Three and having players like Joel Anthony and Dexter Pittman come off the bench would be a huge boost for the team.

Probably the shocker everyone read-ing this sees is having Ray Allen on the bench. Well, Ray Allen will be a reserve for the first time in his career, but that’s

the sacrifice he wanted to make in order to join the defending champions. This in no way means Allen will only play with the second unit, he will clearly play with LeBron, Bosh, and Wade but having him start would hurt the team.

Most people out there want to move Wade to point guard and have Allen be the starting shooting guard but that’s not a good idea. Wade is not a point guard, he tried that his rookie season and it didn’t work out. They tried again in the Beasley era and it failed once again. Wade is a shooting guard, and one of the best, so don’t fix what’s not broken.

Chalmers has earned his spot as the starting point guard of the team and so putting anyone else but Chalmers at the helm would not be a good idea. Yes, LeBron will handle the ball most of the time and Cole is a better player for the run-and-gun offence Miami likes to run, but Chalmers is a hard-nosed de-fender and is not afraid of taking the big shot if Coach Spoelstra calls his number.

Key Reserves: • Ray Allen • Shane Battier • Norris Cole • James Jones • Mike Miller • Joel AnthonySignificant Off-Season Additions: • Ray Allen • Rashard LewisSignificant Off-Season Losses: • Ronny Turiaf • Juwan HowardMan on the Hot Seat: Dexter Pit-

tmanIt’s no surprise that the Miami Heat

organization is frustrated with the de-velopment of Dexter Pittman. Pittman was supposed to be the center of the future for Miami but so far he has not stepped up to the plate when he’s given opportunities.

During the offseason, a Heat official said the team was disappointed in Dex-

ter Pittman’s summer league work and “this is a crucial training camp for him. But the slate is clear.” Pittman has a guaranteed contract ($854,389) and seems likely to stick but has been as-sured nothing.

He must prove to Coach Erik Spoel-stra and the rest of the organization that he’s the man for the job. He needs to be the Dexter Pittman that played with the Texas Longhorns.

Biggest Question: Will there be a “Championship Hangover”?

The bitter taste of the 108-66 de-bacle to start the 2006 NBA season to the hands of the Chicago Bulls is still in the mouth of many Heat faithful. In fact, that entire season was a mess and it felt like the Heat were still in a hang-over from the championship they won the previous season.

This time around things must be dif-

ferent. Wade and Haslem, the only two players remaining from the 2006 cham-pionship and the debacle the year after, need to set the tone early and show the team that a championship hangover is something they can’t afford this time around.

Yes, this Miami Heat team is a very different one from the one that won it six years ago, and that will work to their advantage but Miami needs to get out of the gates guns blazing versus the Boston Celtics on October 30 and they can’t let up one minute this sea-son. It’s like Chris Bosh said at media day, “We will now have an ever bigger target behind our backs.”

2012/13 Record: 68-14 (1st seed in the East, 1st in the southeast divi-sion)

Strikers Finish 2012 Season With 3-1 Loss in NASL PlayoffsThe Fort Lauderdale Strikers 2012

season ended with a 3-1 loss to the Caro-lina RailHawks in the first round of the NASL Playoffs at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. on Saturday night in front of 2,534 fans. Forward Abe Thompson scored the lone goal for the Strikers with Carolina getting two goals from Ty Shi-palane and another from Amir Lowery in the victory. The Strikers reached the NASL Playoffs for the second straight season after finishing the 2012 regular season with a record of 9-10-9 with 36 points.

“When we made it 2-1 we thought we’d get back into it, but we gave the game away with a couple of mis-

takes,” said Strikers head coach Daryl Shore. “We won’t make any excuses for ourselves. We weren’t good enough to-night and it’s a disappointing end to the season, but we’ll regroup and hopefully be back next year.”

The Strikers were forced to go to their bench early in the match when in the 18th minute, forward Andy Herron appeared to injure his leg and Abe Thompson was substituted into the game.

The Carolina RailHawks took the lead in the 34th minute when Jason Gar-ey took a turnover into the penalty area and spun around a defender to find Amir Lowery whose shot found the back of the net for a 1-0 lead.

After halftime, the RailHawks ex-tended the lead to 2-0 when Brian Shriv-er made a run down the left sideline and crossed to Nick Zimmerman who found a cutting Ty Shipalane. His shot was de-flected by the leg of Strikers goalkeeper Matt Glaeser, but still went into the net in the 52nd minute.

Fort Lauderdale would make it 2-1 in the 61st minute when Lance Laing sent a cross into the penalty area where forward Abe Thompson controlled the ball with his chest and placed his shot over the head of Carolina goalkeeper Ray Burse and into the net. The goal was the 18th of Thompson’s career with the Strikers, putting him in a tie with Romario for the

franchise’s all-time record for goals.Carolina would re-establish their two-

goal lead in the 67th minute when Ty Shipalane scored his second goal of the game. This one coming on a pass from former Striker Brian Shriver.

The Strikers would substitute attack-ers Darnell King and Aly Alberto Has-san into the match to produce additional scoring chances, but were unable to score again.

Fort Lauderdale goalkeeper Matt Glaeser made several dramatic saves to keep the Strikers’ hopes alive in the match, including stopping two one-on-one chances for the RailHawks to take a three-goal lead.
