Yvonne Boice loves a challenge.As the event chair for the Palm

Beach State College Foundation’s STEAM initiative launch, she knew that having Apple Inc’s co-founder Steve Wozniak as the guest speaker meant there were high expectations for this luncheon, which ended up raising more than $500,000.

“We were practically sold out from

the moment we announced that “the Woz” was our guest of honor,” said Boice, a Boca Raton resident, business-woman and philanthropist. “As the event chair I knew I had to create an atmosphere worthy of one of the most innovative geniuses of our day. I had to pull out all the stops.”

And that she did. As guests entered the Cohen Pavilion at the Raymond F.

Kravis Center for the Performing Arts you could hear audible gasps of sur-prise and delight - the ballroom had been transformed into a visual won-derland paying homage to the themes of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math—the STEAM disci-plines.

Nationally-known comedian Tom Cotter was in town recently to raise moneyfortheDelrayBeachLibrary’s100 birthday celebration.

The Stony Point, NY., resident, who was runner-up on the most recent “America’s Got Talent,” brought his high energy, rapid-fire style of comedy to the annual “Laugh with the Library, Chapter 7” event Feb. 1.

“I’m honored to be a part of this benefit,” Cotter said in an interview before the show at the Marriott. “It’s sold out and were going to raise a lot of money for a good cause. “

He spared no one throughout his

xx-minute performance. He cracked on seniors, bad drivers and couples. His humor occasionally took a few dark, but funny turns, like when he talked about relationships with pets – dogs and cats.

It’s been a whirlwind year for Cot-ter, a journeyman comedianwho auditioned for the sev-enth season of “AGT” af-ter learning that one of the show’sjudges,PiersMorgan,was leaving the panel and would be replaced by shock jockHowardStern.

“Everyone for the previ-ous six years, had been say-ing, ‘Cotter you’ve got to go out’ because of my style of comedy is kind of rapid-fire,”

said Cotter, who has performed stand-up for about 25 years. “When I saw Pierce critiqued other comics, he was very harsh. He would say things like, ‘I didn’t laugh,’ ‘You’re not original,’ and ‘You weren’t funny.’ I didn’t want to be in front of 19 million people having some British dude telling me I wasn’t funny. So, I always shied away from it.”

With comedians Howie Mandel and Stern on the panel and renaissance woman Sharon Osbourne, Cotter said

if ever he was going to do it, now was the year.

“I never thought he would be my number one fan,” he said of Stern.

And the rest is history, as they say. Cotter became the first comedian to ever reach the finals of NBC’s “Amer-ica’s Got Talent.”

Given his slew of comedy gigs, TV

appearances and network meetings af-ter “America’s Got Talent,” catching up with Cotter these days is no small feat.

“I’ve been trying to cash in while I can, while I’m flavor of the month,” he said.

Since receiving its charter from RegionalDirectorMary Shy Scott in1983, the South Palm Beach County Alumnae chapter of Alpha Kappa Al-pha Sorority has been on the move.

From the initial 20 members to the current 50, the chapter has grown in membership, programs and service. But it’s never forgotten its charter members and founding values.

The chapter will observe its 30-year anniversary Feb. 23 with a luncheon at Benvenuto restaurant in Boynton Beach. The celebration, themed “Thir-ty Years of Continuous Leadership and Timeless Service – Hats off to Great Leadership”, will begin at 12 noon.“In conjunction with our theme,

we’re going to be recognizing people who have made accomplishments in fivedifferentareas,”saidDeborahNix,a retired educator who was a member of the sisterhood’s first line in 1984. The Xi Pi Omega chapter, as it is of-ficially called, serves the Boca Raton, DelrayBeachandBoyntonBeachareas.

Conceived as a social and service organization by undergraduate Ethel Hedgeman Lyle and founded on the campus of Howard University, AKA was the nation’s first black sorority.

When AKA began, blacks were largely confined to a handful of black colleges, and the terrorism of lynch-ing was on its way to claim-ing thousands of lives. In those days, being “on line” was a term reserved for dressing alike, learning his-tory, and learning ritual steps and songs along with all the other “Ivies” who made up your pledge class, longtime members said.

Some members have lived to see profound changes both at the national and local level.

“One of the things that was significant back when the chapter was chartered in 1983, a lot of the women were from this area,” Nix said. “Where-as now, because of the growth of the area, we’re getting a lot of members from out of state and a number of young women who’ve gone to college, gotten an education and have returned home.”

Today’s membership is comprised of a cross section of avocations com-pared to its inception when it was mostly educators, members added.

“We used to have educators but to-

day we have members from a broad range of employment – medicine, so-cial services and people who own their own businesses,” she said.

Today, AKA has more than 200,000 members nationally, and the women who joined in the decades after Nixbenefited from an established network of professionals. The organization boastscivilrightsleaders,judges,doc-tors, lawyers and educators, and mem-bership has meant that there is usually another AKA close by, ready to do an

extra bit of looking out. The organiza-tion counts the late civil rights activists Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King, ac-tresses Phylicia Rashad, Liberian presi-dent Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Jada Pinkett and singer Alicia Keys among its members.

Notable members of the Xi Pi Omega chapter include the late H. Ruth Pompey, one of its charter members, retired educators Nadine Hart and DorothyWalker,MaryRandolph andHelen Condry.

BOATING SAFELY” COURSE AT SPANISH RIVER PARKBy Samantha Mellman

Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of the year in sports, and that means a big day of festivities – par-tying and watching the game from somewhere other than their couch-es, not worrying about the week ahead and perhaps drinking one too many beers.

But one group of revelers spent the afternoon raising money - while having fun – to support a local or-ganization that’s helping aspiring teenage athletes.

Prep & Sports, Inc, a nonprofit organization that tutors and men-tors student-athletes in southern Palm Beach County, held its 3rd an-nual ‘Big Game Party’ at the Hyatt Place,DelrayBeachonSunday.

The goal of the party was to raise money so the organization can continue providing academic tutor-ing and sports training for these students.

Several dozen supporters paid $100 for all the food they could eat, an open bar and a chance to hobnob with a few dignitaries.

The highlight for many of the guests was meeting and mingling with current and former NFL play-ers.

The organization was the brain-child of Tavarius (TJ) Jackson a graduate of Olympic Heights Com-munity High School and a former DallasCowboysfootballplayer.The Delray Beach native has

been giving back to his community since 2005 when he founded the or-ganization along with his cousin, Ja-mael Stewart and others.While growing up in Delray

Beach, Jackson was a good ath-lete. He excelled in football. But he struggled with exams including the the college entrance exams.

His childhood dream was to play football at the University of Florida; he was offered a scholarship to play football at Florida with the stipula-tion of passing the SAT or ACT.

He eventually passed the college

entrance exam and was later offered a scholarship to play football at Vir-ginia Tech University, where he played and graduated with a Bache-lor’sDegreeinresidentialpropertymanagement.

In 2003, Jackson signed as a free agenttoplayfortheDallasCowboysand returned home after a stint.

With first-hand experience, his quest was to ensure that his peers in the community especially those who struggled academically were pre-pared to pass the college entrance exams.

“A lot of the kids throughout Palm Beach County are involved in athletics…. We want to help them put that amount of energy equally into academics,” said Jackson, who recently was named football coach at Atlantic High School.

Random Thoughts

The beginning of the year is a time of reflection. We bemoan the failures of the past year and vow to make resolutions to improve or not to repeat our mistakes.

However, we should set resolutions we can keep.

As Abe Lincoln once said, “Your own resolution to succeed is more important than the resolution itself.”

I am not one who makes New Year’s resolutions. And last month, I had planned to share with you my hopes and dreams for 2013. But that column was bumped because of the shooting in Connecticut. However, I promised I would share them with you this month, no matter what.

For starters, I wish we all will set reso-lutions we can keep to improve ourselves, our lives and the world around us. 1. Get Out of Debt. I will strive to

spend less than I earn.2. Learn Something New. I will attempt

to learn to fix my own computer, thus making my friend happy.

3. Get Organized. When it comes to my house, less is more. I will not hesitate to invite someone over on a whim, and I can find my stapler when I need it.

4. Help Others. A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, volunteerism can

take many forms. 5. To better cherish family, children and

the sanctity of life, and recognize my most important purpose… is to love and to be loved.

The last five are my wish list, but I wish friend that you will make them your reso-lutions.6. I wish Democrats and Republicans

can finally realize that our suffering coun-try is much more important than their petty squabbles, private perks, or corpo-rate backers.

7. I wish Congress would make unem-ployment a priority.

8. I hope that deadly and nonsensical ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws, like the ones here in Florida, are erased from the law books.

9. I wish the ongoing conflicts around the world will finally come to peaceful con-clusions.

10. And since the world didn’t end on the21stof Dec.,thenIhavemorechanceto fulfill my wish of marrying a million-aire on life support.

Now having heard that, I welcome your feedback.

Not Another BureaucracyYour column in January’s issue

suggested the need for gun control.I don’t see how gun control

will make any difference when the majority of gun deaths are fromillegal guns. Gun control is going to create another bureaucracy, like the war on drugs, that will costs billions and go nowhere. I live in a rural part of the county and, yes, there are rifles and shot guns at some yard sales. There is no way to stop people from obtaining guns, by stealing or buying them, from people who have legally obtained them.

George MasonLake Worth

No Gun Control PleaseI strongly disagree with your

column calling for gun control be-cause these events never do. There is always talk about gun control (which always goes nowhere), yet the idea that tragedies like [New-town, Conn.] ould possibly be pre-vented by creating a more robust mental health system is never even uttered in the media or public dis-course.

Alex SantosDelrayBeach

Let’s Help the Mentally illIt is depressing in part that it

takes a tragedy such as this to dis-cuss mental health services. More people commit suicide every year

than do die by homicide. In fact there are more than twice as many suicides than homicides (38,000 vs 18,000).

I suppose any discussion is good. However, I fear that when something like this happens the mentally ill will never be truly helped because the discussion is not starting for the right reasons. You want to spark proper conversation aboutmental health services? Doit first because you are concerned about the mentally ill themselves, not primarily because of what the mentally ill might do to others.

Time to Start Discussing Gun Control

It sure as hell will help if we start the damn conversation on gun control. We need to call and write our senators and representa-tives in government, write letters to the editor, post it on Facebook, tweet, blog, etc., and talk to family and friends about it. We can’t re-main quiet.

This issue needs a spotlight, and we are the ones to provide it. We are the ones most affected and we have to raise our voices and make our voices heard.

As Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Conversations Which Break Relationships!

By Douglas HeizerTHOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

The 5 P’s of Ethical Decision-MakingRick Boxx wrote a great column

onThe5P’sof EthicalDecision-Making and I thought it would be agreatreadforyou!Hopeyouen-joy.- DouglasHeizerNot long ago I heard author

and speaker Lee Strobel give an excellent message on what he called the “5 P’s for making ethical decisions.” I thought his insights would be good to present in “Mon-day Manna.”

The first P he mentioned is Pur-pose. When making a challenging decision, it is critical to remember your purpose. If your purpose is to make money, you will often make the wrong decision. However, if your purpose is aligned with bib-lical principles, your decision will lead to a much different result.

As 1 Corinthians 10:31 teaches, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Everything follow-ers of Jesus Christ do should be for the purpose of glorifying God. When that becomes the motiva-tion behind ethical decisions, dif-ficult workplace decisions become

easier.The second P Strobel cited

was Prayer. He stressed the im-portance of praying about hard decisions, seeking wisdom and guidance. We also should pray, ac-cording to Strobel, for the moral conviction and courage to do the right thing. Many times we know the right thing to do, but need the courage to do it.

James 1:5 teaches, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” The next time you face a challenging ethical dilem-ma, take Strobel’s advice and pray boldly for God’s wisdom, then trust He will provide it.

The third P in Strobel’s list was Principles. He urged his audience to make decisions by testing them against biblical principles. He said 50 percent of ethical decisions are based on emotion. Emotions like fear, greed, or anger can lead to very poor decisions. Pausing to consider how your proposed de-cision aligns with what the Bible teaches is more productive.

Psalm 119:9 teaches, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.” When you face ethical dilemmas, do not let emotions rule. Pause, pray and seek help in God’s Word.

Strobel’s fourth P was People. When faced with a tough decision, do not make it alone. Involving wise, trusted people in your ethi-cal decisions has many benefits, including receiving good coun-sel, forcing you to be transparent, and adding built-in accountability. For years, I led a small group of CEOs. Many times, regardless of the issue, we found someone with insights that were helpful for ar-riving at a wise decision.

Proverbs 15:22 teaches, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Be-ing a leader can be lonely at times, but it does not have to be. When faced with a challenging ethical decision, allow other people to be a part of your decision.

The final P was Popular Opin-ion. However, Strobel took this principle in a different direction. He recommended when confront-

ing a difficult decision, consider what the popular opinion might be – and then be prepared to do the opposite. God is not concerned withwhatthemajorityof peoplethink.

In Isaiah 55:9, God teaches, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Ethical decisions based on popular opinion can be disastrous. Be courageous and, if necessary, take God’s opposing path instead, Strobel advised.

His book, How to Prosper in Business Without Sac-rificing Integrity, gives a biblical approach for doing business with integrity.

I often hear people complain that persons they know don’t seem to talk to them anymore. In some cases, even those whom they considered to be close friends appear distant, and don’t visit or talk as much as it was done before. While they used to respond so readily to invitations for social interactions, they now appear to find reasons always to decline similar offers.

Not that any fight took place be-tween those people, nor misunder-standings erupted among them. They justquestion“Why”andlament,with-out knowing the cause.

Through my investigation of some such reports, I quickly notice that what often happens is that the complainer tends to be a very domineering indi-

vidual. In spite of the hospitality which such person extends to others, when it takes place it appears that they,alone, open their mouth the entire time of the visit.

In the case of a couple, it is also quite frequent that when a spouse says something relatively insignificant, the other immediately has to contradict, or deny what is being said. For instance, if a person refers to something being yellow, the other will interrupt simply to say, “No, it was green;” if one is de-scribing a vacation taken together and alludes to some incident they experi-enced, the other has to revise and “cor-rect” a minor, irrelevant detail which no one cares about, and which makes no difference to the report being pre-

sented.After experiencing some of the

above, or other unpleasant distractions of this nature, some people begin to retreat whenever a new invitation is issued to them for dinner by the same individuals, or any other type of social-izing with those people.

Sadly, I’ve seen such things far too often, which make me understand the vacillation of some in being ready to respond and be with acquaintances whichwilljustrepeatthesame“show”which quickly ceases from being inter-esting or desirable.

If you wish to be hospitable to oth-ers,andtoenjoythecompanyof suchfriends and acquaintances, seek to in-quire more about them rather than talk

about yourself. Allow them the oppor-tunity to participate in a conversation if you ever want to see them back; give them the opportunity to speak, make the experience a true exchange, involv-ing dialogues rather than the mono-logues you use to dominate the mo-ments spent together.

As you can see, you don’t need to start a fight in order to distance your friends from you; any of the above is a form of disrespect, even if uninten-tional, which most people prefer to avoid altogether. It’s always good to enjoy the companyof others.But forthat, there is the right way and the wrongmannerof doing it!Knowthecorrectmanneranddoit!

Divorce Florida StyleBy Mike Gora

ColumnistsThe Boca Raton Tribune

KEEP OR SELL THE HOUSE

Michael H. Gora has been certified by the Board of Education and Specialization of The Florida Bar as a specialist in family and matrimonial law and is a partner with Shapiro Blasi Wasserman & Gora P.A. in Boca Raton. Mr.

Gora can be reached at [email protected].

Q Mywife and Imoved toBoca Raton ten years ago, and bought a house for $275,000. It was once worth about $750,000, now only $400,000.00. I own a business, which my attorney tells me has nominal value under Flor-ida divorce law. We have retire-ment savings, a couple of luxury cars, on lease, and a small boat. Thehouse isourmajorasset; ithas a mortgage of only about $100,000.00. We have three chil-dren under eighteen.

Before she filed the divorce, my wife and I had agreed to sell the house and split the proceeds. She would keep the retirement accounts; I would get the busi-ness. Her lawyer told her that she could live in the house until the youngest child was eighteen years old, and when it was sold, the proceeds would be divided. Without selling the house, I can-not buy a house of my own.

She now wants to keep the house, stating that she could not live anywhere else, in such a nice house, with as low a mortgage payment as we have now. She would need alimony, which she says she would not need if she stayed in the house. She works, and says she would be fine with some alimony and child support, if the house were sold later. I would like to settle, but then I’d have to rent. What do you think a judgewoulddo if wewenttotrial? What should I do?

A Your wife is asking for the right to “exclusive use and oc-cupancy” of the marital home, as an adjunct to child support.

Case law says that such a result is favored by Florida courts. On the other hand, the cases say that financial circumstances, such as those you outline may require its sale.

Dependingontherateof in-terest on your current home loan, and the price of the wife’s pro-posed home, she is correct that she and your children might wind up living in a smaller home in a lesser neighborhood, if the home is sold, at a greater expense, to which you might have to contrib-ute, through permanent alimony.

Your decision should be based on complete financial informa-tion, and the advice of a financial planner. You could negotiate a modification of her terms, by re-quiring her to move if she remar-ries, lives with another person, or after a number of years less than she asks for.

Your house may continue to grow in value. In negotiating, be sure to specify who is to pay the mortgage payment, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. Specify whether the paying person gets any extra credits at the time of sale.

If this issue tried, you have a good chance of winning, upon your demonstration that you would not be able to buy a home unless the current home was sold. A financial planner s for your wife might convince the judgethat you, your wife, and children would be better off if the home was kept, as an investment and a good place to raise the children.

The African-American Church of Yesterday

FAITHBy Casey Cleveland

The historical African-American church still speaks today. Loudly. And we might all just need thismore than ever. February is Black History Month, which reminds us to stop and give honor where honor is due, especially to the African-American individuals and groups that have shaped who we are as country today. Rather than one in-dividual, we shall take a look at an entire movement that defined a cul-ture and has the potential to bring renewal to many today. The histori-cal African-American church.

First allow me to define reality. The church as a whole is more and more being found to be a minority in America. A Biblical worldview is no longer truly welcome in politics, the marketplace, education, or Hol-lywood. Authors Steve Timmis and Tim Chester of Everyday Church, rightly suggest that we are living in a “post-Christendom” world. A world that is skeptical of anything absolute, especially a Jewish carpen-ter who 2000 years ago claimed to be the way, and the truth, and the life.

Now what? The church used to be the center of American life. The Scriptures used to set the tone of our culture. The church used to lead from the mainstream of society as themajorityvoice.Nowwhat?

Now we get to work! Now weget to thrive as we once did…from the margins. This is not a time for lament or discouragement. This is not a time to obnoxiously fight for the place we once held. This is a time to embrace our reality in the margins, as a minority, and begin to renew the culture with the gospel. So where can we look for a model of how to go about this work? The historical African-American church.

Actually, the first place we could look is the early church of the first century. It is important to under-stand that leading from the margins is not a new concept. It is how the church does some of its best work.

Author and pastor Thabiti Any-

abwile calls us to look closer than justtheearlychurchmovementof the first century, to the much nearer historical African-American church of America. He offers a few key themes that defined this movement as the same key themes that can bring clarity to what God is doing today through the local church.

1. Learn to suffer with grace and dignity. “That’s not easy. But if the evangelical church is going to maintain a healthy dignity and re-solve, it’ll need to endure suffering like a good soldier.”

2. Learn to do theology from the underside. “Most of African-American theology gets worked out in the crucible of suffering and un-derpriveledge. It would be good to glean from experiences and theolo-gies of persons that already have in hand over three hundred years of thinking about such things.”

3. Learn how to fight for your oppressors, not just against them.“One genius of African-American theology and the Black Church has been its insistence on the full dig-nity, humanity, brotherhood, and rights of both the Black communi-ty and the White community. The best of Black Church history sees the future of Blacks and Whites in-separably connected.”

4. Learn to hope in God. “That’s one part of the legacy of the Black Church. When life was at it’s worst, it was a praying church. Despite injustice, persecution andthreat of death on every hand, Af-rican-American Christians put their hope in a God they were sure would bendthearcof historytowardjus-tice and deliverance.”

I thank God for the power of the gospel that makes all of this a re-ality. I thank God for the African-American church. I thank God for the authors mentioned in this ar-ticle and their thoughts that shaped much its content. May we continue to be transformed by the love of Je-sus for the glory of God.

Much Love…Casey

Does DESIGN MATTER? Douglas A. Mummaw

It seems very relevant, that with the passing of Apple Founder and Master Genius Steve Jobs, that po-tentially everyone who has ever purchased an Apple product has

been exposed to a commitment to Design Excellence. Congruently,the hardware, software interface and the packaging of the Apple product exemplified the finite de-tailingthatmakesanobjectbeau-tiful. Steve Jobs forever changed how technology impacts our lives yet he never relented his passion for creating well DESIGNEDProducts.

Can “Place Making” Archi-tecture create the same impact? Boca Raton’s Downtown has al-readyproventhatDesignMatters.Mizner Park, achieving its 20th anniversary has been identi-fied by the New Urbanism as one of the best planned and con-structed Urban Spaces in Ameri-ca for the last 25 years. We have all been there to shop, dine, get a Starbucks fix or see a concert. These utilitarian functions are necessary adjunctsto our daily routine. However, have you ever truly noticed how many visitors go there to stroll along the loggias and plaza? These

momentary gatherings at the fountain or gazebos to watch live entertainment are what energize the “Space”. The scale of the trees overhead, the texture and multi color pattern of the pavers gen-tly dissolving into velvet feeling grass. It is also the introduction of water in the artistically tiled foun-tains that serves as both an audible and reflective sensory forces.

Why do “Special Spaces” evoke the emotional and haptic sensory feelings that draw us there? For thousands of years, architects, artists, builders, owners and gov-ernmental entities have been Col-laborating to create such spaces for their citizens to enjoy. PiazzaSan Marco, Times Square, St Pe-ter’s Square and on and on.... The leadership of any City realizes that to create a Community, there must be opportunities for the resi-dentstogather,enjoyeachother’scompany, participate in activities and of course engage in com-merce. The City of Boca Raton has been promoting this initiative since the early 80’s when the Com-munity Redevelopment Agency was formed. Since then, many passionate “Urbanites”(City Plan-ners, Architects, Lawyers & Pri-vate Citizens) who tirelessly wrote the downtown code, lobbied for its funding, cultivated the “Mizner-

esque” Architectural guidelines and then created the momentum of ACTION to build. Mizner Park is now a 25 year legacy projectrecognized throughout the world as a model in Remarkable Urban Space Creation. This place is in

ourDowntown.

Yes,wehaveaDowntown.Itisfullof localbusinesses, retail stores, incredible restaurants, art studios, civic venues, parks, cinema and live theaters, all within a 10 minute walk. The re-cent improvements for the “Promenade” con-tinues to thread the necessary fabric together, that with time, will become a metaphoric quilt of Boca Raton. Come experience this important addition to our Community on October 21st & 22nd. I am certain you will see and experience the essence of why creative Urban Planning is enhancingtheDowntown.

There will more specific Case Studies in the near future where the “Back-Story” on what creates the special urban/pedestrian spaces in our downtown will be explored and continue to demonstratewhyDESIGNMATTERS......

TAVERNA

FOOD REVIEW

By Skip Sheffield

The freaks have overtaken West Boca Raton High School and we mean that in the best possible way.

Slow Burn Theatre’s production of “Side Show” celebrates oddities, aberrations and mutations in music and song. The mu-sical, by Bill Russell and Henry Krieger ran forjust91performancesonBroadway.Itisonstage only through Sunday, Feb. 10 in the Performing Arts Audito-rium, so catch it while you can.

The story centers on Daisy(Kaela Antolino) and Violet (Court-ney Poston), characters based by real life conjoined English-bornHilton twins. The girls were inex-tricablyjoinedatthehip,butintheshow they are able to separate tem-porarily for dramatic purposes.

“Side Show” is a miraculous ex-ample of getting maximum results from minimum resources. The cast is large (17) yet lavishly costumed by Rick Pena, who also plays Buddy, a struggling musician who discov-ers the twins in a carnival sideshow drags his friend Terry Connor (co-director Matthew Korinko), an Or-pheum Circuit vaudeville scout, to see the act.

Connor instantly sees the com-mercial potential in the untrained twins. Buddy and Terry convince Daisy andViolet to leave the car-nival to achieve their star potential.

The greedy carnival boss (Conor Walton) fights and threatens them. Their best friend Jake (Jerel Brown) asks them to stay for reasons of his own, but he agrees to let them go when they say he can come with them.

Daisy and Violet, like the twins onwhich they are based, are two separate and distinct personalities forced to share the same corporate body. Daisy is more am-bitious and star-struck. Violet yearns for love, romance and a conventional marriage. This inevitably leads to conflict, as it did forthereal-lifeHiltonsisters.Dreamsareexpressed in “Like Everybody Else” and “Feelings You’ve Got to Hide;” reality in “TheDevilYouKnow,“WhoWillLoveMeAs I Am?” and “I Will Never Leave You.”

“Side Show” is also about exploitation. Americaisinthedepthsof theDepressionand people are desperate to do anything for a buck. In the case of the Hilton sisters that

includes staging a very public wedding cer-emony.

As in real life, the ending of the Hil-ton Sisters’ story is bittersweet. This show thankfully does not follow it all the way to its sad conclusion. Instead it is uplifting in an odd way, celebrating strong souls who triumph over handicaps.

The singing in this show is simply beau-tiful with gorgeous harmonies by the entire ensemble, backed by an unseen but very re-

sponsive onstage band. Both Kaela Antoli-no and Courtney Poston are strong singers. Postonisparticularlystronginherprojec-tion, but she throttles back to felt perfectly for her “twin” duets.

Choreographer-director Patrick Fitz-water and his plucky troupe are truly mira-cle workers. The theater community lost a lot over the past year, but the future burns bright for “Slow Burn.”

Tickets are $30-$35. Call 866-811-4111 or go to www.slowburntheatre.org.

“Raisin” a Modern Classic at Palm BeachDramaworks

PalmBeachDramaworksspecializesincontemporary theater classics, artfully and soulfully realized.

A perfect example of this is their pro-

duction of “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lor-raine Hansberry.

Hansberry made history in 1959 as the first African-American and youngest play-wright (29) ever of a Broadway play. The director, Lloyd Richard, was the first Af-rican-American Broadway director. Sadly “Raison” was a one-hit wonder for Hans-berry, who died tragically young of pancre-atic cancer at age 34.

Hansberry’s career grew posthu-

mously. Her writings were adapted into a stage play and later a book called “To be Young, Gifted and Black,” which was a suc-cess in the 1968-1969 Broadway season. “Raisin” was adapted into the single-word musical production, which won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1973. Bruce Nor-ris wrote “Clybourne Park” in 2010 in re-sponse to “Raisin.” It had its Florida debut at Caldwell Theatre and won a Carbonell Award as Best New Play for the final sea-son of that company. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 2011 and Tony Award for Best Play in 2012.

Guest-directed by Seret Scott, “A Raisin in the Sun” is a largely autobiographical story of how Hansberry’s family broke the color barrier of a Chicago suburb.

Hansberry fictionalized her fam-ily name to Younger. Walter Lee Younger

(Ethan Henry) is a proud, hard-working but sometimes hard-drinking, reckless fam-ily man. Ruth (Shirine Babb) is his strong, supportive, forgiving wife. Daughter Be-neathe Younger (Janice Abbott Pratt) is the closest character to the playwright: whip-smart, ambitious and full of righteous indignation over racial prejudice. JosephAsagai (Marckenson Charles) is Benethe’s Nigerian-born exchange student friend and George (Jordan Tisdale) is her boyfriend.

Travis Younger is the 10-year-old son, played by Mekiel Benjaminand Joshua Valbrun in alternating performances. The family matri-arch is the regal Ruth (Pat Bowie, made up to look much older).

Act One is mostly a simmer-ing, ominous setup for the fiery Act Two. Ruth’s husband has died, leaving a $10,000 insurance policy to the family. Ruth wants to use the money to finance a down payment on a house in Clybourne Park, a previously all-white sub-urb. The rest of the money will go to help finance Beneathe’s college tuition and family expenses. Wal-ter has other plans, cooked up with his shady friend Bobo (Micley LaFrance).

Everyone’s plans are put in jeopardy by Karl Linder (DavidA, Hyland). Smiling obsequi-ously, Karl claims to be head of the welcoming committee for the Clybourne Park Improvement As-sociation. The only improvement the committee really wants is pro-

tection of the value of their homes against feared loss if a black family moves into the neighborhood.

Act Two is a conflagration resulting from a foolish decision, a senseless loss, and dire consequences. Each character has his or her chance to bare his or her soul. The results are spectacular, particularly with piteously grieving, regretful Walter and devastated Beneathe. In the final analysis, it is the quiet, stoic power of grandmoth-er Ruth that gives the play its dramatic charge, wonderfully realized by Pat Bowie.

If you want to see a ground-breaking, modern classic, look for farther than “A Raisin in the Sun.” It runs through March 3 at 201 Clematis St., West Palm Beach. Tickets are $55 ($10 students) and group rates are available. Call 561-514-4042 or go to www.palmbeachdramaworks.org.

Marry Poppins Spreads Her Spoonful of Sugar in WPBA revved-up, scaled-down version

of the musical “Mary Poppins” is en-joying a short stay throughFeb. 3 atKravis Center in West Palm Beach.Thisisakindof jewelbox,pop-up-

book version of the show, featuring an ingenious revolving, unfolding set de-signed so scenes can be changed very quickly. Unlike the touring version that visited Broward Center a few years ago, this production does not have the magical Mary Poppins flying over the audience. I’m guessing the much higher ceiling of Kravis makes rigging the fly-ing much more difficult. Mary still flies, but her flying is confined to the stage.

This isn’t “Peter Pan” after all. The fact that Mary can levitate with her um-brellaisjustoneof hermanytalents.

Mary Poppins changes people for the better, and in Madeline Trumble’s

performance that quality shines loud and clear.

There is a clear need for change in the Banks household in London at the turn of the 20th century. Father

George (Chris K. Hoch) is a grouch and atyrant,obsessedwithhisbankingjoband old before his time. The Banks chil-dren Jane (Madison Mullahey alternat-ing with Julianna Rigoglioso) and Mi-chael(ZacharyMackiewiczalternatingwith Eli Tokash) are out of control, have driven away six previous nannies. Mother Winifred (Kerry Conte) tries in vain to keep the piece.

Serving as narrator is Bert the chim-ney sweep (Con O’Shea-Creal, an excel-lent singer and dancer from the Broad-way show), who is also a close friend of Mary Poppins, who suddenly appears oneday at just the right time, just asthe latest nanny has fled in frustration.

The familiar songs, by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, are augmented by new songs and lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Crewe.

Rest assured your toes will be tapping to such favorites as “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Super-califragilisticexpialidocious” played by a most spirited orchestra in the pit.

A hallmark of this show is its ex-cellent dancing chorus, with Matthew Bourne’s imaginative, clever choreog-raphy.

You could say this is the ideal family show, for really that is what it is about. “Mary Poppins” provides a much-need-ed shot of optimism in troubled times.

Tickets are $25 and up. Call 800-572-8471 or go to www.kravis.org/marypoppins.

MEDITERRANEAN DELIGHTS AT ESTIA GREEK TAVERNA

Food Review Marc Kent

Authentic dishes include 8 cold appetizers as Tzatziki (yogurt with cucumber, dill and garlic with Greek olive oil), Taramo-salata (a fish roe spread), hummus and Tirokafteri (feta cheese with hot peppers and olive oil), dol-mades (grapes leaves stuffed with rice and herbs), and black olives.

There are 15 hot appetizers - we had a very nice fried calamari – quite tender. We then sampled tiny fried smelts for seafood start-ers. The taste of their mussels and scallops was over powered by the strong tomato, basil, garlic and feta cheese sauce.

While we liked the cold dol-mades we loved the hot version with ground beef, rice and herbs topped with a fine egg lemon sauce. We tried the giant baked beans - nothing here like the usu-al – the tomato and onion sauce added to the beans sweet flavor. Dotryit.

We sampled the tasty green salad with its fine dressing but found the red beet salad, though tasty as well, had very little of the beet taste.

Listed are 5 (rustic Greek originals) and we had to try the traditional mousakas. This was a huge portion containing layers of eggplant, potatoes, ground beef and homemade bechamel sauce… a perfect dish.

Lamb chops, scallops and shrimp with lemon potatoes and vegetable make up the Estia’s sig-nature platter. The chops had a lemony flavor as well as the po-tatoes, the scallops had a deep sea flavor, the shrimps sweet and tender. The meat sampler offers lamb chops, biftekia (ground beef patty), deep flavored Greek sau-sage chicken souvlaki (marinated chicken breasts). And a lamb/

beef gyro. Each of these individ-ual components can be the focus of full plates.

Meat listings also offer rib eye steak, pork chops, and various souvlakis.

Fish and seafood offerings in-clude shrimp sautéed or grilled, swordfish, salmon or yellow tail snapper or bronzino. Scallops, mussels, and shrimp are available over pasta in chefs’ signature red wine sauce.

We sampled a delicious egg lemon chicken soup - a superior choice. The soup of the day was a full bodied lentil soup…if it’s on your menu, try it.

Carlene, Steve and this review-er ordered bougatsa… a desert of phyllo dough with custard cream having hints of vanilla and topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon. We then tasted the traditional blaklava, honey soaked phyllo with almonds and walnuts. Both desserts were wonderful and a sweet ending to a fine Greek meal. Other desserts offered include rice pudding and yogurts. From a list of 10 coffees, we had a delicious decaf cappuc-cino, hot and sweet.

There is as modified luncheon menu as well as 3 items on a kids menu.

Located at 507 SE Mizner in Boca Raton (561-245-8885), Es-tia seats 80 inside and 50 on pa-tio. Open seven days, luncheon from11:30am–3:30pm,Diners3:30pm – 10:30pm from Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday hours extend to 3:30pm to 11:00pm.

A full bar is available for your pleasure. Opened only one year, Estia Greek Taverna and Bar of-fers excellent fare…we suggest you...goandenjoy!

Tommy Turtle

CHILDREN’S CORNER Caleb Lucas

Tommy Turtle lived in a rock pit. It was actually very nice for a rock pit. He was so happy because he was going to go to the pond today. “Ican’twaittogotothepondtoday!”

he said. What time is it?” he asks himself. It’s11:55.At2:00I’mgoingtogo!”Just thenMr. Bunny hops up. “Hi!”

said Mr. Bunny. “Could you help me wash my carrots?” “Ok,” said Tommy, “let’s go.”

1 hour later

“What time is it now?” asked Tom-my, “It’s 1:00,” replied Mr. Bunny. “Oh, I shouldgo!”saidTommyTurtle.“Thank you, Tommy!” Mr. Bunny

shouted out. “You’rewelcome!”Tommyshouted back as he scurried out the door so he could get ready to go to the pond.

Just as he got home Mrs. Chick came up and asked if Tommy could watch over her eggs while she went to get food.

“Oh, ok,” said Tommy. “But I have to go to the pond at 2:00.” “Oh, thank you, Tommy,” said Mrs. Chick. “God bless you.”

30 minutes later

“Sorry I took so long. I could barely find a seed,” said Mrs. Chick, as soon as she arrived home.

“It’s ok,” said Tommy. “What time

is it?” he also asked. “Oh, it’s 1:30,” said Mrs.Chick.“Ohno!Ishouldreallygo!”said Tommy Turtle, politely.

“Bye,” said Mrs. Chick. “Bye,” said Tommy. “Oh, no,” said Tommy sadly. “I’m not going to make it to the pond in time.”

Just then, it started pouring and storming quite badly. “Oh, now I see why I wasn’t supposed to go to the pond today. It’s raining!Thankyou,God, forstopping me from going to the pond to-day. You know best.”

“For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.” (Psalm 9:4 -NKJV)

I think we learned an important les-son today with Tommy the Turtle. It’s that God knows best. When something doesn’t go the way you planned, it’s prob-ably for the best. Even if you don’t know whatthegoodreason is, just trustGodbecause he will always do what is right and best for everyone.

was festooned with art depicting sig-nature elements from the STEAM dis-ciplines, every table was draped with cloths depicting the solar system, and even the desserts featured chocolates depicting Einstein’s famous equation.

“I knew I had to make an impact worthy of our guest,” Boice said. Woz-niak seemed overwhelmed by the mag-nificent display and the reception he

received from the over 660 guests.The Apple co-founder, who was the

engineer behind the famed Apple I and Apple II computers, easily won the au-dience over with his self-effacing man-ner and humor. He conversed for al-most an hour with event emcee, Felicia Rodriguez of WPBF Ch. 25, on a wide range of topics, including many ques-tions submitted by PBSC students.

While Woz stressed the importance of the STEAM disciplines for our stu-

dents to remain competitive and pros-perous, he also reminded the students of the essentials: finding their pas-sion in life and being a kind well-liked person. Those themes he entwined throughout many of his personal sto-ries, as he told of his early years in high school, his initial job with Hewlett-Packard and his now legendary part-nership with Steve Jobs.

“Wozniak was a magnificent speak-er,” Boice said. “His words were heart-

felt and his insights into the future were truly inspiring. He made us realize how much we have to look forward to and how our students really need our guid-ance and support to help them achieve that next level of success. Our hope with the new scholarship launch at PBSC is to give our students a chance to excel and lead us to the next great thing.”

Boca Raton, FL – On Saturday, January 26, 2013, the Boca Raton Police Department and the Mi-croShred Corporation teamed up to help prevent identity theft by hosting a free document shredding event. The event, which was held at the Boca Raton Town Center Mall, attracted more than 500 people, armed with documents to be shred-ded. In all, the community dropped off 38,626 pounds (19.3 tons) of pa-per. According to MicroShred, 19.3 tons of paper equates to saving over 328 trees and nearly 58 cubic feet in landfills. This represents a three ton increase over last year’s shred event. Also, this year nearly 30 computer

hard drives were destroyed.By shredding and properly dis-

posing of all sensitive documents, individuals take a key step toward protecting their identity. Accord-ing to reports from the U.S. De-partment of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, more than 15 million people reported having their identities either stolen or misused last year. Florida had the highest per capita rate of reported identi-ty thefts in the United States. The overall losses from identity theft last year were close to $37 billion.

Free shred event nets nearly 20 tons of paper

Boca Raton, FL – A Miami resident was looking for a friend in all the wrong places. On January 29th at approximately 12:45 pm, members of the Boca Raton Police Tac Team noticed a car with dark tinted windows driving around Sugar Sand Park. A check of the license plate showed the car had been used to commit other burglar-ies. As it proceeded through the south lot, the driver turned to avoid a marked Boca Raton Po-lice cruiser parked nearby. Af-ter driving around and making multiple turns in the parking lot, the suspect drove toward the exit. Because the driver did not come to complete stop a stop sign, a traffic stop was ini-tiated.

The driver, Damian Moore,

said he was in the area to visit a friend named “Jamie”. Moore did not know “Jamie’s” last

name, phone number or ad-dress. After changing his story multiple times about “Jamie,” he admitted that “Jamie” didn’t exist. Moore then said he came to Boca Raton to panhandle because the money was better than Miami.

During the traffic stop, of-

ficers smelledmarijuana in thecar, conducted a search and turned up .1 grams. Moore also acknowledged his car was not properly registered and he was driving with a suspended license.

Moore was arrested and

charged with Loitering & Prowling, Possession of Mari-juana,DrivingwithaSuspend-edLicense and forDriving anUnregistered Vehicle. He was also given a verbal warning about the dark tint on the win-dows of his car.

Boca Raton, FL – On Fri-day, January 25 at about 11:30 a.m., officers with the Boca Raton Police Department’sTactical Team located a Silver Volkswagen driving around inside the Millpond housing development. Officers saw two or three males get out of the car, then one male get into the driver’s seat and drive out of the area. Two males were also seen walking along a canal on the east side of the develop-ment.

Officers checked the area and found a home in the 2200 block of NW 35th Street which had a broken window and dirt tracked inside. Inside, they found open drawers and a pillowcase was missing. The owner confirmed that the home

was burglarized, and jewelryand a pillowcase were missing.

Officers stopped the driver of the silver VW who was identified as Samuel Walker. A Boca Raton K9 team tracked from the victim’s home east towards the canal where they found items belonging to the victim, as well as gloves and a window punch. The K9 team continued to track to NW 23rd Terrace where they located Adalberto Montalvo in a tree near 3339 NW 23rd Terrace andQuintonSylvestrewaslo-cated several houses away, hid-ing in the bushes.

Officers arrested Walker, Montalvo and Sylvestre and charged them with burglary and grand theft.

Burglary suspects caught on camera

Boca Raton, FL – For one Boca Raton resident, installing a high def-inition security camera in his house paid off, literally hours after it was activated. On January 31st, resident MarkDettmansetupamotioncam-era on a table next to his front door facing the living room. He turned it on and set his cell phone to alert him if any motion was detected in the house.

Three hours after activating it,

Dettman received an alert that hismotion detector was activated. He returned to his house on SW 11th Street and checked all the rooms; while nothing appeared to be miss-ing, he did capture the two burglars on his new camera.

A nearby neighbor said she saw a redcardriveslowlypastDettman’shouse a couple of weeks earlier. Af-ter seeing the video, the neighbor confirmed it was the same person shesawinDettman’syard.

The suspects appear to be Latin

Boca Raton, FL – On Janu-ary 15, Boca Raton Police offi-cers received a report of fraud-ulent purchases made on the victim’s credit card in various places, but the victim believed the theft of his credit card in-formation occurred at the Mc-Donalds at 701WestYamatoRoad.

The victim told officers he comes to Boca Raton on a weekly basis and routinely eats atMcDonalds where he payswith his debit card. Investi-gating officers contacted the manager of McDonalds andhe checked their video during the timeframes provided by the victim. When the manager reviewed the video, he discov-ered the employee working the drive-thru, Percival James, ap-peared to be acting suspicious-ly after he swiped customer’s cards. The manager told offi-cers he had recently been con-tacted by several customers who also had their credit card information taken and used fraudulently.

Officers met with the man-ager and viewed the surveil-

lance video, which showed James swiping the victims’ credit cards on the McDon-alds system then swiping them again on a small, black device. Officers then spoke with James, who told them he had been ap-proached several months ago bytwounknownsubjectswhoasked if he wanted to skim cus-tomer’s credit cards to make some extra money. James told officers he would skim the credit cards then meet up with them periodically to exchange the device for the cash and he had done this about three times.

Officers arrested James and when they searched him, they located the skimming device in a pocket. Officers charged James with using a scanning device to defraud, possession of credit card making equip-ment, and identity fraud.

If anyone believes their credit card information was skimmed at this McDonalds,pleasecallDetectiveJohnTu-rek at (561) 620-6148.

Man arrested for skimming customer’s credit cards

By South Florida Business Journal

Federal authorities this week charged eight people with identity theft for filing fraudulent federal tax refunds in five separate cases, in-cluding that of a former Boca Raton Regional Hospital scheduler.ShalamarMajorhadaccesstothe

personal information of the hospi-tal’s patients and gave it to Tanisha Wright in exchange for the promise of future payments, according to a federal indictment against both of them. Wright allegedly used that information to file 57 fraudulent tax returns seeking $306,720 in refunds. She received the money on debit cards and split the proceeds with Major,accordingtothecharges.

The other people charged were:• Nael Dawud Sammour, ac-

cused of filing 75 fraudulent re-turns seeking $750,369 in refunds. • ChristopherRosier and Jef-

frey Rosier, accused of seeking $53,976 in fraudulent tax refunds. • Fednol Pierre and Jeanson

Pata, accused of stealing six tax re-fund payments totaling $52,536. • Jahed Movlayazdanpahi,

charged with three counts of par-

ticipation in an identity theft tax re-fund scheme.

The arrests were announced by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, theIRS, the Secret Service, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies.

Florida had the highest rate of identity theft in the U.S. in 2011 at 178 complaints per 100,000 resi-dents, but it was even worse in Mi-ami at 324 complaints, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The per capita number of false tax returns in the City of Miami was 46 times the national average, accord-ing to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

“Identity theft tax refund fraud has spread through South Florida like a virus,” U.S. Attorney Wifre-do A. Ferrer said in a news release. “Since the creation of the Strike Force, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has charged 113 defendants responsible for approximately $92 million in stolen identity refund fraud. We will continue to crack down on identity thieves who are lining their pockets with our tax dollars by stealing the personal identification information of others.”

AbilldraftedbytheMiamiDol-phins to give them up to $3 million per year in state money to help fund a renovation of Sun Life Stadium cleared its first hurdle Tuesday morning, passing the Senate Com-merce and Tourism Committee by an 11-0 vote. State Sen. Oscar Braynon, D-

Miami Gardens, and Rep. Eduardo Gonzalez, R-Hialeah, have spon-sored bills (HB-165 and SB-306) that begin the discussion on wheth-er the state would allow taxes to be directed to help stadium upgrades.

The legislation casts a wide net, offering a $3 million tax rebate an-nually to a sports team that is un-dertaking a $250 million stadium upgrade, as long as the team owner is paying a minimum of $125 mil-lion, according to the bills. In Ste-phen Ross’ case, he has offered to pay $200 million out of his own

pocket.The bills could also grant Miami-

DadeCountytheauthoritytoraisethe cap on the mainland hotel tax to 7 percent from 6 percent.

Ross has said that the purpose of the upgrade is to continue to at-tract Super Bowls and to seriously compete against the San Francisco 49ers’ future $1.2 billion stadium and the Houston Texans’ Reliant Stadium for the National Football League’s 50th Super Bowl in 2016. An improved stadium would also guaranteetheDolphinsplayatSunLife Stadium until at least 2034, he has said.

Supporters of the proposal in-clude Donald Trump, owner of theDoralGolf Resort&Spa.Op-ponents include car dealer Norman Braman, who characterizes the push by Ross as welfare for a billionaire.

Next up for the bill in the Senate is the Appropriates Subcommittee on Finance and Tax, with no date set for the hearing.

Second American Civil War Could Be Psychological Conflict

CARLO BARBIERIBy Carlo Barbieri

The Civil War that pitted the North and the South against each other dur-ing the early 1860s was, without doubt, a bloody encounter, with brother fight-ing brother over the barrel of a rifle or amid the cannon fire of a battlefield. The bitter irony of that conflict was thefactthatasinglemajorissue–thefate of slavery – was the overriding reason for the bloody fighting.

If there is a second American Civil War – and this column has previously speculated on that possibility– it is like-ly to be a psychological conflict and not a war with guns and bombs. Still, even psychological warfare can have a trau-matic impact on this nation.

America hoped that the November 2012 election would give some glim-mer of a brighter future and even an eventual end to the terrible economic troubles that have stricken this nation since at least 2007. The re-election of Barack Obama by a couple of percent-age points over Mitt Romney leaves many in the US wondering if the next four years will simply be a repeat of the past four.

This is where some of the psycho-logical aspects come in. During hiscampaign, and in his recent inaugural address, President Obama addressed some of the questions that have plagued various segments of the popu-lation. But we wonder if those ques-tions have been answered to the best of his ability – and to the liking of the American people. In other words, are their minds secure in what he predicts for the future?

Barely two months have passed since Mr. Obama won re-election, and yet he has done little to bring peace to the minds of many, particularly those in the middle class, the ones he prom-ised during his election not to hurt.

The protracted discussion and lengthy period of inaction over the so-called “fiscal cliff ” brought nothing but continuing angst to the entire popula-tion. The wealthy wondered if they would be hammered with much higher taxes. But even the middle class, it ap-peared, was going to be stricken with new and heavy taxes – on top of the sacrifices they have made during the past few years.

The argument over the fiscal cliff ended with a false sense of security when federal legislators and Mr. Obama announced a temporary settlement around the time of the New Year. Still, despite the huzzahs and the back-slap-ping among official Washington, the

middle-class didn’t get away unscathed. With the new year came a new tax – a higher payroll tax. So the promise that the middle class would not be hurt was breeched.

Like citizens, businesses also won-der what 2013 and the President’s new term will bring. As Mr. Obama inflicts his own brand of psychological war-fare on them – leaving them in the dark about his plans for the future – they will nothasten to create jobsor starthir-ing until they know how their financial coffers will be affected. In essence, both the people of America and the busi-nesses of the USA are both being held hostage as 2013 continues into its sec-ond month.

The current administration seems to be heaping insecurity and uncer-tainty on top of class warfare that be-gan during the past few years. We have spoken about how President Obama has created a “nanny” state made up of people dependent on government doles to survive. This includes the so-called “cradle to grave” assistance that substi-tutes welfare for the American dream.

This “subservient” class likely has or will soon have what the middle class has worked and sacrificed to get. At the same time, the Obama White House has declared its own “war” on the rich, declaring that they owe more of their “share” in money to US coffers. In the same breath, success has been declared to be bad and initiative is frowned upon. So where is the middle class to turn?

In a fictional essay published in Small Wars Journal magazine, a team of experts bring forth an argument that ongoing economic unrest and po-litical division within the US popula-tion could cause a civil war to erupt in the United States in only a few years’ time. The essay, “Full Spectrum Opera-tions in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future,” is in no way represented as a piece of pure truth, but its writ-ers suggest that a civil war could hap-pen much sooner than Americans may think if certain conditions occurring in the country today persist into the next few years.

This also brings Mr. Obama to a crossroads. Will he allow the status quo to continue, endangering the na-tion’s peace of mind? Or will he show leadership and finally work with Re-publicans for the good of all people, and all classes?

The solution is squarely on Mr. Obama’s shoulders.

The 2013 NASL Combine which is recognized as a leading pathway to playing professional soccer in the region was held this past weekend at Lockhart Stadium, home of the NASL’s Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

Last season alone, almost 15% of its 2012 Combine ended up on NASL rosters at the opening of the season.

In the opening game of the Com-bine the Red team drew 2-2 with theBlueteam.NewZealandYouthInternational Tom Jackson struck twice for Red, the first coming off an efficient cross from Kendall Sealy and the second coming after some excellent build up play in the area. For the Blue team goals came from Andres Vargas and Juan Gonza-lez. Blue was led in the attack by the cultured midfield play of Lau-rent Merlin, a former Olympique Marseille and Chivas USA mid-field. James Mack, formerly of the Charleston Battery also stood out in the match for the Blue team.

The second game featured for-mer Barclays Premier League Best XIandFranceWorldCupDefend-er Pascal Chimbonda. The match flowed nicely in the first half with chances for both teams. The break-through for the Green team finally came in minute sixty three when Steven Miller finished an opportu-nity. Just minutes later, the White team equalized thanks to former FCM Aubervilliers midfielder Fer-rety Sousa.

“I thought the first game was a typical first day of a combine game, but as the day went on, but the sec-ond game I thought was much bet-ter and those guys really got after it especially in the first half. I think the level was quite good, “ Fort Lau-derdaleStrikersHeadCoachDarylShore.

Ricky Hill Head Coach of the NASL Champion Tampa Bay Row-dies said “we have nice playing con-ditions here in sunny Fort Lauder-dale and the standard has been very good.”

On Saturday’s session, Green and Red drew 1-1 in the first match.

Red’s Jesus To-scanini formerly of CDTorque inUruguay opened the scoring finish-ing on a low driv-en cross from for-mer Pittsburgh R i v e r h o u n d Dawyne Smith.Red had an op-portunity to dou-ble the lead short-ly before halftime as Craig Wilson broke away from Green defense but he was denied byformerDaytonDutch Lion Co-rey Whisenhunt.

In the sec-ond half, Green came out strong with former Pre-mier League Best XI and France World Cup vet-eran Pascal Chimbinda shift-ing from right back into the middle, solidify-ing a defense that had been opened up in the first 45. About midway throught the second half, 22 year-old George Tor equal-ized for Green as the match opened up with chances both ways. The 1-1 final scoreline was a fair reflection of the play.

Game two featured five goals in second half action, with Blue draw-ing White 3-3. Blue struck first with an excellent run and finish by for-mer Charleston Battery midfielder James Mack. The game opened up after halftime when Sean Arters took on three defenders in the box, rounded the keeper and slotted home a clean finish at the near post. With the score 2-0 in favor of Blue, White struck with three consecutive goals in a ten minute period. Goals by Robbie Tice, Mickael Oliveira Barrosa and Uzi Tayou gave White a 3-2 lead. However, Blue equalized when former Chivas USA midfield-er Laurent Merlin who was a stand-

out performer again on day two of the combine rounded out the scor-ing in minute 77, which savaged a draw for the Blue team.

Minnesota Stars Head Coach Manny Lagos said “ the level and professionalism (of the combine) was very high and the field is one of the nicest I have seen in the last few years which creates a great setting for the games. We have had a lot of energy on the field today and it has been very impressive.”

The 2013 NASL Combine con-cluded on Sunday afternoon with Blue defeating Green 2-1 and White defeating Red 3-1.

Juan Gonzalez opened the scor-ing for Blue early on in the first match of the day. George Tor who has had a solid week had an oppor-tunity on a breakaway to level the proceedings but put his shot justwide. In the second half Murphy Campbell leveled the score before Andres Vargas tapped in a loose ball

set up by a tight angled deflected shot by Tamba Samba.

In the second match of the day White defeated Red 3-1, with for-mer Fort Lauderdale Striker and Atlanta Silverback David Santa-maria opening the scoring in min-ute four for White. Tom Jackson nearly equalized for the Red team a few moments later and Red kept the pressure on with Charles Ro-drgiuez equalizing in minute 24. In the second half White scored twice, thanks to Kaoru Forbess low, hard long distance strike and Uzi Tay-ou’s set piece header.

FC Edmonton Head Coach Colin Miller who in his dual role as interim Canadian National Team Manager led his side to a 0-0 result vs. the fa-vored United States on Wednesday remarked on the Combine ” the atti-tude was good and some good goals scored and some excellent football this weekend.”

There is no mistake that the Boston Celtics have been on the downward spiral ever sinceLeBron James joinedthe HEAT in Miami. The Celtics went from going to Game 7 of the NBA Finals in 2010 to losing to Miami in consecutive post-seasons. The Celtics remade their roster in the wake of Ray Allen spurning a Celtic offering and joiningtheHEAT,addingJasonTerry,Courtney Lee and a string of others.

On paper, the Celtics didn’t look too bad, with Jeff Green returning, they seemingly were ready for another run. but the age and chemistry was not right. Boston has struggled all season, and last week received the news during the middle of the game against Miami that their All-Star point guard RajonRondo had torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

This is devastating news for Boston because Rondo is the one who runs that teamandholdsitalltogether.Despitethem going 2-0 so far without him, most know the Celtics stand a slim chance against any contender with-out him. Talk of blowing up the team started to be rumored, and Ainge is lis-tening to offers without seeking them

justyet.Today, the Celtics received news that

their first round pick Jared Sullinger will require back surgery and miss the rest of the season. The Celtics may be in disarray. They can’t withstand an-otherinjury,andtheydon’thaveatruepoint guard on their roster. The Celt-ics may blow things up, or they could make a minor acquisition and position themselves in the playoffs. We aren’t sure.

Here’s what we do know that favors Miami.DespitetheirlosstotheCelt-ics without Rondo, the HEAT are huge favorites over Boston in a playoff series withoutRajonRondo. Mostly,Rondowas the one who gave Miami the most headaches. This eliminates a severe threat the HEAT would need to worry about.

Secondly, if the Celtics do implode and miss the playoffs, their likely re-placement would be the Philadelphia 76ers who are only 3 games back. The Sixers are waiting on Andrew Bynum to return, if he does, to be a threat to anyone.

Here’s how this helps Miami:1. The Sixers have been owned by

MiamisinceLeBronjoinedtheHEAT.The Sixers want to play the style of

basketball that favors Miami, and this is good. Bynum could be a problem, but if Miami stays #1 and Philly is #8, should be an easy round for the HEAT.

2. If the Sixers make the playoffs, the HEAT receive their first round pick (from 2012 draft night trade). If Philly is an #8, the pick would be around number 15 or 16. This could result in someone like 6’11 Mason Plumlee

fromDuke.OrArchieGoodwinfromKentucky, maybe even Trey Burke from Minnesota. For all that it’s worth; maybetheydraftTimHardawayJr!

Miami could really use a good draft pick, and that could be huge for them moving forward into luxury tax time.

Keep an eye on the race between Boston and Philly because it impacts the HEAT in so many ways.

Tragedy in Boston Could Mean Joy in Miami
