“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked con-ceals violence.” Prov. 10:11

One of the ways Babe Ruth changed baseball was to open it up to heavy hitters. Today, you’d never get a player like Dodgers catcher Bill Bergen. His lifetime batting average was just .170, the lowest of any batter with at least 2,500 at bats. In 1909, he batted .139, the lowest post-1900 mark ever for a batting-title qualifier.

BOCA RATON - A hus-band and wife are behind bars after allegedly ripping a woman’s purse from her arm and taking off. Boca Police spokeswoman Sandra Boonenberg said it happened just before 9 p.m. April 6 in the parking lot of

the Publix at 7431 North Federal Highway. The victim said she was leaving the market af-ter buying a few grocer-ies when a man smiled at her as she approached her car. Because the man was so close, she asked him if she could help him. That’s when he said, “just your purse” and pulled it off her arm, Boonenberg said.She said a white car ap-proached and the suspect jumped into the passen-ger’s seat. A Boca Raton Police of-ficer at the intersection of Dixie Highway and Ya-mato Road spotted the car

moments later. He said the two occupants matched the description of the suspects and were arrested. Jahaira Vazquez, 31, and Ismael Vazquez, 34, both of 8 Polo Circle, Boca Raton, were charged with robbery by sudden snatching.

BOCA RATON - Local po-lice are “still following up leads” in a horrific murder more than three years ago that left a mother and her young daughter dead in their vehicle outside Town Center at Boca Raton mall, Police Chief Dan Alexan-der told the Federation of Boca Raton Homeowners Associations at a recent meeting.“One thing shocks me,” said Alexander. “Where is someone who saw some-thing? No one has come forward to give a little more information.”The case, which gained national attention and was featured on several criminal investigation TV shows, in-cluding “America’s Most Wanted,” will, the chief said, “always be important to us.”He said his department con-tinues to work long-unsol-ved cases. He mentioned one in particular, the mur-der in 1996 of Julie Wills, a model who was stabbed to death in her home. “We are still working on it.”In December 2007, 47-year old Nancy Bochicchio and her 7-year old daughter Joey were robbed, bound and killed outside the mall. Their bodies were found in Nancy’s SUV, parked out-side the Sears store.Much of Chief Alexander’s

nearly 60 minutes before Federation members were devoted to less maudlin to-pics. Asked what he saw as challenges for the future, Alexander said the new stadium at Florida Atlantic University “will be a sig-nificant challenge. We will have real issues with the stadium.”Making downtown Boca a safe place, one that peo-ple want to visit for shop-ping and dining, is another hurdle, he said. “If it’s not safe, people won’t go down there.”Now that the city has ta-ken over operation of the Mizner Park Amphitheater, the question of “how do you effectively police that area” arises.Homelessness and pan-handling are “hot-button” topics, he said. Rather that begging for money, they should be directed to re-sources that can aid them in their plight. Boca Helping Hands, Alexander said, is

one such agency.He also noted that panhan-dling “doesn’t represent a community very well.” He chided Palm Beach County for “taking a hands-off ap-proach” to homelessness and its consequences.The chief noted that Boca Police Services is the main law enforcement agency in the city, but marked Palm Beach County Sheriff’s cruisers are often seen in the city. “They are handling civil processes,” the chief said. “If you see marked sheriff’s cars at houses, this is for civil processing.”He said his vision for the city is “quality of life - and it starts with your deci-sion to become active in the community. If someone sees a break-in and doesn’t report it, we won’t hear about it.”Alexander called the qual-ity of life in Boca “super-lative” and is working to keep it that way.

BOCA RATON - The Boca Raton Police Services Department is scheduled for an accreditation on-site assessment April 16. A public meeting for comments from the public will be held two days later.Administered by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., the accredi-tation program requires agencies to comply with contemporary standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services.As part of the on-site assessment, agency employ-

ees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public infor-mation session Monday, April 18 at 5 p.m. at the Training Facility, 6500 Congress Avenue, Boca Raton.Agency employees and the public are also invited to offer comments by calling (561) 338-1361 on Monday, April 18, between 8 a.m. and midnight. All comments are lim-ited to 10 minutes and must address the department’s ability to comply with CALEA’s standards. A copy of the standards is available from the Boca Raton Police Services Department’s Public Information Office, 100 NW Boca Raton Blvd., Boca Raton, through Officer Sandra Boonenberg at 338-1269.Anyone wishing to submit written comments about the Boca Raton Police Services Department’s ability to comply with the standards for accreditation may send them to: The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, Inc., 13575 Heathcote Boulevard, Suite 320 Gainesville, Virginia 20155, Attn: Dennis Hyater, or email them at [email protected] Leader is William Munday, retired major, North Carolina State Highway Patrol.Team member: Lt.

WEST PALM BEACH - The Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing May 17 on proposed amend-ments to the county’s tow truck ordinance.The revisions were OK’d on preliminary reading at the April 5 meeting. Changes include clarifica-tion of when companies lo-cated outside Palm Beach County must obtain opera-ting permits, new I.D. badge requirements, prohibiting a tow truck company/driver from acting as a property owner’s agent, and making it illegal for tow truck com-panies/drivers to use pre-signed manifests, invoices or authorization forms.Action came at the first of several planned night meet-ings of the commission. Members decided earlier this year to conduct occa-sional evening sessions to give more access to the pub-lic.Those who attend commis-sion meetings regularly said the crowd was larger than usual, particularly for a meeting with no contro-versial items.

Commission to hold hearing May 17 on tow truck ordinance revisions

At the meeting, the board also took the following ac-tion:

Charter Review - directed staff to proceed with a public participation plan aimed at obtaining suggested changes to the Palm Beach County Charter to be placed on the November 2012 ballot. The next step will be a series of public meetings around the county to gather input from citizens. Redistricting - approved a contract with Jerry Wilson, PC, for legal and consulting services for the development of BCC district boun-dary maps based on the 2010 Census. The contract will not exceed $50,000. Head Start - approved con-tracted catering of meals for children in the Head Start/Early Head Start programs, and approved a two-year contract with Classic Ca-terers for approximately $1 million per year. The change will result in an es-timated annual cost savings of $400,000.

Health Department - post-poned adoption of a resolu-tion to increase fees for the Office of Vital Statistics for the issuance of birth and death certificates. Roads - approved a contract with Community Asphalt Corp. in the net amount of $3.38 million for construc-tion of Northlake Boule-vard over the Loxahatchee Slough. The board also au-thorized a special assess-ment of $25 per abutting foot for paving and drai-nage improvements on Syl-van Lane, and approved a $145,773 contract with DP Development. Neighborhood Stabiliza-tion - approved three Nei-ghborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) funding awards in the following amounts: $2.092 million to Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County, Inc.; $9.5 million to Neigh-borhood Renaissance, Inc.; and $1.132 million to the Westgate/Belvedere Homes CRA. These are federal monies that require no local match.

Palm Beach County Tax Collector Anne M. Gannon announced the launch of driver license appointments during a recent ceremony at her Royal Palm Beach Ser-vice Center. “As of this morning, our appointment link is live,” said Gannon. “It’s easy. Just go to our website at www.taxcollectorpbc.com and click on the appoint-ment button. This will lead you into the DMV appoint-

ment system.”Many of Gannon’s Service Centers are dealing with long lines and extended wait times since the agency began offering full dri-ver license services last fall. The Florida Legislature transferred the issuing of driver licenses to county tax collectors in the 2010 legislative session. “No one likes to wait,” Gannon said. “The fact is that the new service

requirement is bringing people into already crowd-ed offices. Combine that with the new federal Real ID requirement and the re-sult is long lines. I would like to thank the DMV for its assistance in bringing us into their appointment sys-tem.”Driver License appoint-ments are now available at each service center location except Lake Worth. The public will be able to make

Tax Collector Anne Gannon

an appointment up to three months in advance. “I just want to caution the public that appointments are not a panacea for a crowded office because the federal requirements require everyone to visit a center for Real ID compli-ant documents.” Gannon said. “There is no silver bullet here or, believe me, I would use it.”The “License to Drive” community awareness pro-gram was developed to help people better prepare for what the tax collector characterizes as a time-con-suming and often compli-cated process. Her multicultural “License to Drive” Toolkit includes a document organizer which lists the federally required documents, offers sugges-tions for replacement of lost or missing documents, and doubles as storage en-velope. The kits can be downloaded at www.tax-collectorpbc.com.

Letters to the Editor

TheBocaRatonTribune.comRead

I’m going to offer a po-litical conclusion. I think Donald Trump is going to run for president in 2012.I know he’s waffling a bit on making the announce-ment. But if he makes it official now, I’m sure NBC would yank “The Appren-tice,” citing equal time re-quirements.Still, Trump looks presi-dential, acts it and has the swagger - and the bucks - to make it happen.Not only that, he is attack-ing President Obama on a variety of fronts, including one particularly vulnerable area for the chief executive - the status of his birth cer-tificate and the validity of his claim to US citizenship.With that said, it will be interested to see what The Donald does and says when he comes to Boca Raton this weekend.According to a news re-lease sent to me by Palm Beach County Republican Party Chairman Sid Din-erstein (thanks very much,

Is Trump coming to stump in Boca Raton?Sid), Trump will be the keynote speaker for the 3rd Annual Tax Day Tea Party scheduled Saturday, April 16 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Sanborn Square in down-town Boca.I really can’t connect Trump with the Tea Party folks. So, I’m wondering if he is coming to Boca to test the political waters in a large southern city in what has become America’s larg-est potential swing state.At first, I thought Trump was just toying with us about running for president. Then I realized. Trump doesn’t toy. He manipu-lates, he sneers, he boasts, he is said to be worth near-ly $3 billion and has no qualms about using it.Trump appears ready to put his cards on the table. It would be interesting if he makes his candidacy offi-cial during his Boca visit.I believe a lot of people in the world think Palm Beach and Boca are the same type of city when, in reality,

they are worlds apart. And when you get down to it, Trump was born and raised in New York, and the Big Apple is still the hub of his empire. He is merely a part time Palm Beacher, and I’m sure he enjoys hanging out in South Florida.So why did he accept an invitation from the South Florida Tea Party to speak at one of its gigs – and why Boca, when the organiza-tion appears to be based in West Palm Beach?The news release said Trump is expected to offer his thoughts on how to get our country moving again and the need for further tax reduction. Could that be a prelude to a presidential bid?Everett Wilkinson, chair-man of the South Florida Tea Party and state coordi-nator for Tea Party Patriots, has gone so far as to say: “In every poll the tea party had, Donald Trump came out number one. America is tired of politicians giving

speeches. We want to hear from people that have prov-en business experience. This should be an exciting day for America.”I’m wondering what kind of an audience Trump will draw. I have a serious in-kling that most people will show up to see Trump, the business mogul; Trump, the TV star and Trump, the bil-lionaire, rather than Trump, the potential presidential candidate. When you have two irons in the fire, it’s hard to tell which one is your ace in the hole.Say what you will, Trump is tenacious. He isn’t afraid to speak what he feels and thinks – not even in the face of a sitting president.I’m hoping he decides to run. He certainly has more business acumen and is a master of the deal – as he has written in at least one book – than most other hopefuls. And he will give every other candidate a run for his or her money.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

You have to dream if your dreams will ever come true! Some may take a long time to be re-alized, but the wait will be worthwhile! Others may surprise you by their swiftness in coming to pass. Still others may just linger in your memory, without ever becoming reality, or simply by not unfolding as originally hoped for!Dreams cannot be bought nor sold. Neither can they be stolen! They are very personal though their ful-fillment normally affects not just the dreamer’s life, but a larger company of people. Brazilian psy-chiatrist and author, Au-gusto Cury, has written extensively about dreams. In one place he states that “life without dreams is a river without a source, a beach without waves, a morning without dew, a

Don’t Ignore Your Dreams!flower without perfume.”Someone has also com-mented that “many peo-ple know what they want out of life, but few turn their dreams into a care-fully planned success map.” But how can that be effectively achieved? By pondering on each dream, you can gradually discover helpful ways of bringing them to fruition, by making them concrete in your experience. Good dreams are born and prosper in a fertile imagi-nation, in a joyous life, in a tranquil mind even if surrounded by external noises and conflicts. Dr. Maya Angelou ac-knowledged that reality in her own life when she reflected: “I knew that if God loved me, then I could do wonderful things. I could try great things, learn anything, achieve anything. For

what could stand against me, since one person, with God, constitutes a majority?”By the way you feed your mind, by the nature of your daily thinking, you can actually construct positive dreams and de-cisively proceed toward its unfolding. Develop solid friendships and ac-quaintances which can help you cultivate and nurture your dream fields, and contribute to accom-pany many a sprouting into reality. Acting in a contrary manner will only cause nightmares, some of which may be hard to eradicate.Today, new dreamers still live on, positively im-pacting a large company of persons who benefit from the concrete effects of their dreams! You can also be numbered among them!

BOCA RATON - For the fourth year, the Jewish As-sociation for Residential Care (JARC) partnered with Exceptional Theatre Company to present “An-nie” April 3 to a standing room only crowd at Zin-man Hall on the Jewish Federation campus. Each year the actors, a-dults with intellectual dis-abilities, choose a play and then choose their charac-ters and musical numbers. They take the basic script and each week, create indi-vidual scenes that become a full musical stage produc-tion. Debbie Lombard of Excep-tional Theatre and Nancy Freiwald, community out-reach director for JARC, took the director’s role for this year’s performance. The group this year de-cided to feature the music of Boca Raton’s own Den-nis Lambert, a 12-time Grammy nominated song-writer, producer and singer, who recently performed at JARC’s 25th Anniversary Gala. The Jewish Association for Residential Care is a nonsectarian organiza-tion which provides group homes, apartments and vo-cational training for adults with development disabili-ties.

The Boca Raton Community High School NJROTC Bob-cat Battalion took first place at the National Academic, Athletic, and Drill champi-onships in Pensa-cola Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida on the 8th and 9th of April, 2011. We com-peted in Personnel Inspec-tion, Color Guard, Pushups, Sit-ups, 100 Yard Relay, 220 Yard Relay, Unarmed Basic and Exhibition Drills, Armed Basic and Exhibition Drills, and Academics. Going into the competition, the tension was palpable. “I was very nervous going into the Personnel Inspec-tion, but was completely confident in the level of readiness in which we had achieved,” recalls c/CDR Austin Haynie, Command-ing Officer of the Bobcat Battalion. The nervousness was also felt throughout the entire unit as we had great challenges to overcome in-cluding the other 25 schools who were there for the same reason we were. “We were going into it as State Cham-pions, so we were confident that we would do well,” says c/MCPO Jordan Hamilton, the Command Master Chief for the Bobcat Battalion. We were going up against teams that were the best in

their areas so the competi-tion was fierce. First time competitors had extra pressure on them as they didn’t know what to expect and were expected to pull their weight, which they did fantastically. “Compet-ing at nationals was amazing and yielded a really great feeling of accomplishment,” says c/PO3 Christina Coder, a freshman and competitor on the Unarmed Drill Team; “I knew we did very well and knowing that you helped to win nationals is always a great feeling.” c/PO3 Jay-Marie Colon-Perez, a com-petitor on the Academic Team and another freshman said that, “Competing at Na-tionals was completely dif-ferent...but it was worth the hard work.”The team took a first place in Personnel Inspection, a third place in Academics, a sec-ond place in Overall Drill, a seventh place in Pushups, and an eighth place in Sit-ups. The points that we had collected from these awards had given us a first place in the nation. “Its not possible to express in words the feel-ing of winning nationals,” says c/LTJG Robert Kruger, a Junior and competitor on the Armed Drill Team and Academic Team; “It’s really

something special.” Lieutenant Commander Bingham has been the Se-nior Naval Science Instruc-tor for 17 years starting the program in the fall of 1994 he has been trying for the National Title for 15 years and says:“All our dreams can come true…if we have the cour-age to pursue them”. –Walt DisneyAfter a lifetime worth of sec-ond places, the stars and the planets finally all aligned,and the Boca Raton High School NJROTC Bob-cat Battalion became the CHAMPIONS at the “2011 NJROTC National Academ-ic, Athletic and Drill Cham-pionship”.They won First Place over all the 633 units in the coun-try.The thirty seven Cadets that competed represented over 2000 past and presentBobcat Cadets that have laid the groundwork for this ex-cellent achievement.After days, weeks and months of hours and hours of concentrated hard work,Battalion Cadet Commander Austin Haynie and Cadet Executive Officer Krystal Echeverry led the Cadets to the most exciting victory ever!!!

BOCA RATON - Gamers at NCCI Holdings Inc. raised more than $34,000 for local kids’ organizations during a week-long charity drive this spring. The Boca-based company sponsored tournaments of favorite childhood games- such as ping pong, domi-noes, corn toss, Concen-tration and Boggle-that tested employees’ mental and physical skills. The employees played during lunch, and bought raffle tickets for baskets of prizes, and jeans stickers so they could dress down for two weeks.The events drew partici-pants from every depart-ment of the 925-employee company. Corps4Kids was the name given to the umbrella cam-paign formed by NCCI to raise money for four local youth-oriented charities se-lected by employees. The charities are: SOS Chil-dren’s Villages, The Haven, PACE Center for Girls and the YMCA. The $34,000 total-which includes a large company donation- will be divided equally among the four nonprofits. “This was one of the most fun campaigns we’ve had here at NCCI,” said one of the planning captains, Tim Smith, who is also NCCI’s Information Technology di-vision executive. “The tournaments were a good way to showcase some of the charities we support,” said co-captain Judy Joffe, who is NCCI’s director of community relations.

Flossy Keesely has another birthday coming up, and that means an-other treat for all the people of Boca Raton.On April 18, Flossy will turn 97. At 7 p.m. Friday, April 15 she will present “Flossy Keesely’s Gala Concert -- Pathway to the Stars” at Mizner Park Amphitheater. Admission is free.

“ Florida’s First Lady of Musical Theater, Jan McArt will host, and the stars Flossy’s favorite singer, Canadian baritone Doug Crosley; along with two-time Academy award-nominated singer-songwriter Carol Connors; popular Branson entertainer Michelle Sevryn, the Broadway Ziegfeld Dancers and 9-year-old violin sensation, Brianna Kahane. Also featured are several young performers who rated high at the Rotary Club’s Fu-ture Stars Competition, which kicked off Festival of the Arts Boca in March.A show business veteran herself as dancer, singer and television personality, Flossy Keesely has always had a fondness for actors, singers, dancers and all kinds of show biz types. Over the years she has presented a number of concerts.“I think it’s the best one ever,” said Flossy recently. “Carol Connors is a highly respected songwriter, and little Brianna Kahane has been big news ever since she appeared on Oprah. Then there are the talented kids the Rotary Club is bringing in. It will be something for everyone.”Last year there was a big birthday reception for Flossy, but she prefers this one to be low-key.“I don’t want anything special this year,” she avers. “It would be too much excite-ment on top of the show. There were so many people there last year.”Flossy Keesely is a tiny woman with a big heart. She commissioned the fountain statue created by sculptor Yaacov Heller that adorns the amphitheater entrance. The gold feminine figure holding a star aloft looks suspiciously like Flossy. The statue will be there for years to come. Flossy won’t be here forever, but at this point in her life she is amazingly limber, mentally sharp and cheerful.“I don’t think genetics is the most important thing for a long life,” she offers. “If you are blessed with a good attitude, you can be happy. I had an eye checkup the other day, and the doctor was amazed to discover I still have 20-20 vision.”Happy Birthday Flossy, and many more.

When it comes to color, everyone has a favorite. But, have you ever wanted to paint your walls and come up blank when asked, “What color do you want them to be?”Well, join the club. As a for-mer fashion editor who sees the world in Technicolor (and knows the difference between beige and cream) I was mute when it came to picking colors for my inte-rior spaces. It seemed that picking a wall color was akin to picking out furniture for a room I had never seen.So I went to Regal Paint Center on Palmetto Park Road and sat with color cards and asked myself (and everyone else around) what color would look best on my walls. When I was told that no one uses white anymore as a wall color I was miffed. I was also in agreement - co-lorful walls seem like happy walls.But, the question still re-mained, what color should I choose? That’s when Regal Paint Center owner Steve Rasmussen came to the res-cue. He introduced me to his latest acquisition (he has seven stores already) a color consultant named Veronica Bower.It was Bower who explained the color equation to me. “When painting a bedroom, for example, you always want to use the minimal color in a print. If you have a pink bedspread with blue paisley flower with gold on the inside of the flower, you pick gold for the wall color. If you have white walls and a white bedspread, you should

Color Query get a red pillow because the eye always looks for color.”I also asked Bower what color walls look best if you have dark flooring. “If your floors have a dark stain then you should go with mid-tone pastel walls. Khaki, sage green or a soft gray are good colors.” But if your space is small then you need to stay with lighter color walls she told me (she suggested Ben-jamin Moore Navajo white). You know what else Bower said? “White ceilings are out - instead use the same color you have on the walls - only make it 50 percent lighter.”If you think that fashion is the only thing that chang-es with the times, you are wrong. It seems the latest décor design tip (that adds dimension to a room) is to pick one wall and make it a different color than the rest of the room - it’s called an accent wall. “You paint the wall farthest from you when you walk into the room (or behind the headboard in a bedroom). The accent wall needs to be a darker color than your other walls,” said Bower.Bower also had some other handy tips for me. She sug-gested painting the kitchen

ceiling sky blue. “The secret here is that no matter what the weather is like outside you always have a beautiful day inside.” She had a point; a sky blue kitchen ceiling is one way to beat the blues. She also suggested a way to divide a room by color. “If you buy strip molding you can create an imaginary wall divider so you can paint the room two different colors.”Veronica works in the West Palm Beach Regal Paint Center but is available to make on-site color consul-tations, so you can take the guess work (and stress) out of the color picking process. And trust me - that is a big help when it comes to color-ing your world.“All Regal associates choose to be a Person of Integrity by giving 100 percent to the job. They do this by be-ing completely honest and forthcoming. We choose to give our customers The Best Value by providing: The Best Paint, The Best Service and The Best Attitude,” said owner Rasmussen.And you know what - I a-gree.

It was a glamour-filled night to remember. Guests arrived at the House that Trump Bought -Mar-a-La-go Club in Palm Beach - dressed in their finest retro fashions. The women looked simply divine in swooped back dresses, elbow length gloves and tiny cocktail hats with feathers. And the men looked pretty dapper in their finest evening attire. The reason for this glorious ball was to celebrate life, luxury and to raise money for The Unicorn Children’s Foundation. Although this glitter-filled night took pla-ce recently, it felt like a page out of history. Not just any history, but the one that filled the luxury carriages of the past.The cocktail hour featured classic luxury cars, a fully clothed Monkey Grinder, gypsies and accordion street performers reminiscent of the Orient Express days. Everyone may have arrived by car but it sure seemed like they came by motor coach or horse and buggy. As the train whistle blew, smoke billowed through the room signaling the de-parture. Guests received the royal treatment on their opulent journey with cock-tails and hors d’oeuvres as they made their way to the ballroom. Emmy Award winner Lucie Arnaz was the mistress of ceremonies and Lips cele-brity impersonators rocked the house with classic tunes of the great Tina Turner. The opulent ballroom was awash in excitement with a live and silent auction run

Of the three commercial film releases this week, the one that looks the most promising is “Soul Surfer.” Unfortunately I missed the advance screenings, but ev-erything I’ve heard about this film indicates it is well-made and very inspiratio-nal.It’s the true story of Beth-any Hamilton, a girl who became a surfing champion at age 8 in Hawaii. Tragedy struck when Bethany was 13. While she was out sur-fing, a 14-foot Tiger Shark attacked and bit off her left arm. Bethany was rescued by fellow surfers, but nearly died from blood loss before she could be stabilized.AnnaSophia Robb plays

New Film Releases

Bethany, Helen Hunt is her mom and Dennis Quaid is her dad. Sean McNamara directed his own script. It doesn’t dwell on the trag-edy, but Bethany’s amazing rehabilitation and subse-quent return to surfing as well as other sports.At the other end of the spec-trum is “Arthur,” which by all accounts is an entirely unnecessary remake of the 1981 Dudley Moore film. This time Russell Brand steps into Dudley’s dainty shoes.James Franco goes for

broad laughs in “Your High-ness,” an historical farce co-starring Natalie Portman and Danny McBride.I did see the French art film “Heartbeats,” which is play-ing at FAU’s Living Room Theaters. It’s a ménage a trois story involving Fran-cis (Xavier Dolan), a gay-curious young man; his best girlfriend Marie (Monia Chokri) and Nicholas (Niels Schneider), the golden, cur-ly-haired Adonis who capti-vates them both.“Chacun a son gout” as they say in France (To Each his Own).Writer-director Xavier Do-lan has crafted a quite love-ly little film about his own conflicted passions.

The different segments of Sales TrainingToday sales training is more important than ever. However, today, sales trai-ning is not concerned only with methodology and techniques of selling. Here are a few basic areas that also must be stressed for any sales training program to be successful.

Product KnowledgeOur clients have become more savvy. They under-stand what they need and when they need it. They have an incredible amount of information and are aware of the competition. This does not mean that the salesperson is not need-ed. On the contrary, it in-creases the need for a well informed sales representa-tive. Chances are the client will come armed with lots of questions and issues that need to be addressed and you need to have the an-swers. Training which of-fers product knowledge is therefore vital and must be continually updated for the sales representative to be

successful.

Relationship DevelopmentWe must also consider training in developing a relationship. The sales rep-resentative must be taught the importance of building a relationship with the cli-ent and the methods needed to grow this relationship. As we know, the seller rep-resents the company and is responsible for creating good will for the organiza-tion by being reliable and honest. S/he should under-stand what motivates the client. Training in the hu-man factor will pay divi-dends in understanding the mechanics in the buyer/seller relationship. However, sellers must be equally skilled in the area of people knowledge. The first part of people knowl-edge is relationship devel-opment. The salesperson should understand the need for building a business re-lationship with the client, and the methods to develop and grow this relationship.

We cannot underestimate the role of the today’s seller as an ambassador for the company. The seller who is aware of the dynamics of the selling situation, un-derstands what motivates the buyer, and recognizes the importance of reliabi-lity and honesty in a busi-ness relationship, will not only enjoy success as an individual salesperson, but will also create tremendous goodwill for the company within the industry. Train-ing in the human factor will pay dividends in un-derstanding the variables in the buyer-seller relation-ship.

Communication SkillsLast but not least, training in communication skills must also be considered as part of sales training. The seller is constantly interact-ing with the client as well as management. If s/he is unable to express or under-stand what others are say-ing then how do you expect the seller to get the mes-

sage across? Presentation, articulation and persuasion are invaluable to the sales-person and form the foun-dation of all sales method-ology. Without a command of the language and famil-iarity with terms used in the trade, these skills cannot be effective. Attention should also be given in the proper use of written communica-tions such as sending fol-low up E mails, thank you notes and making short telephone conversations to stay in touch with the cli-ent. In my experience in con-ducting sales training pro-grams I have found that there is no such thing as a ‘one time fix.’ The pro-grams should be ongoing and updated to reinforce the skills of the seller by keeping up with the chang-ing conditions in the mar-ketplace.Excerpts from the book, The Real World Guide to Fashion Selling & Manage-ment, Gerald J.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

Question: My wife and I are in the middle of a di-vorce. All of the informa-tion has been given to our attorneys and our accoun-tants. Mediation is sched-uled for early June. If we sign a settlement agree-ment at the mediation, is it final? Is there a “reces-sion period” like there is in some contracts? Can the judge in our case re-ject all of the agreements we made. Can he reject any of them?

Answer: If you are both present and represented by counsel at the mediation there is no “rescission pe-riod;” it is final and bind-ing. Every agreement is subject to being set aside, based on a complex sys-tem of grounds including fraud, duress, and over-reaching.When you enter into an agreement at mediation, or otherwise, you will then proceed to an “un-contested” final hearing at which you and your at-torney or your wife and her attorney will appear. Usually it is not necessary for both sides to appear. If you want to bring any question to the attention of the judge, and want the

Rejection of marital agreementjudge to send you back to the negotiating table you had better make certain that you are at the hearing.The Judge will ask you whether you and your wife voluntarily entered into the agreement after a com-plete exchange of financial and personal information. If either of you were to say you were coerced, or did not have the informa-tion you needed to make an informed agreement the judge would inquire further. With both of you repre-sented by counsel, after discovery and exchange of information, it would be unlikely that the court would reject the agree-ment or send it back to you for further negotiation.However the judge can and should examine the document carefully to make sure the Florida child support guidelines were followed or, if not, that there was a legitimate reason for a divination from the guidelines based on grounds provided in the statute. A Florida appellate court rejected the child sup-port provisions of a final judgment. The trial court provided that the parent

should each support the children while they were in the homes of each, in a rotating (equal) custody case. The wife complained that it was not fair, as the Husband made four times the money she did and the guidelines should be ap-plied.A judge reviewing that kind of custody and sup-port arrangement should reach the same conclu-sion as the appellate court and send parties that had agreed to a similar ar-rangement back to the drawing table.In another appellate deci-sion, a court disallo-wed an exclusive use of a marital home agreement, which had a specific term of years ending during the child’s junior year in high school, on the basis that it could not be in the child’s best interest to run the risk of moving and changing schools between her junior and senior year.Circuit judges will be on the lookout for terms in agreements, which may have been compromises for the parents, but can hurt children. These agree-ments are more likely to be rejected in the future than they were in the past.

FAITHBy: Robert D. Foster

Josiah Wedgwood, English maker of the famous Wedg-wood pottery, was showing a nobleman through his factory. One of the Wedg-wood employees, a young teenager, was accompany-ing them. The nobleman was profane and vulgar in his conversation with Mr. Wedgwood. At first, the boy was visibly shocked by the language. Then the teenager’s demeanor changed markedly. He be-came fascinated by the distinguished individual’s coarse jokes and laughed at them.Observing this, Mr. Wedg-wood was disgusted and deeply distressed. At the end of the tour, he showed his visitor a vase of unique design. The nobleman was charmed by its exquisite shape and rare beauty. He reached for it to exa-mine it more closely, but Mr. Wedgwood intentional-ly let it drop to the floor. The piece of expensive pottery shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces, beyond repair. With an angry epithet, the nobleman cried: “I wanted that vase for my collection. You have just ruined it by your carelessness!”“Sir,” Mr. Wedgwood re-sponded, “there are other things ruined (today) far more precious than a vase

that can never be restored. You can never give back to that young man, who just left us, the reverence for sacred things that his pa-rents have tried to teach him for years. You have undone their labor in less than half an hour.”How do we respond to “street talk,” when people around us speak in profane terms or use demeaning language about other peo-ple? We could react judg-mentally, with recrimina-tion, but it is doubtful that approach would exert any worthwhile influence on the offending speakers. If we do speak up, we would be wise to respond in the manner similar to that used by Mr. Wedgwood - spea-king with gentleness, hu-mility and honesty.Our response to profan-ity and unacceptable speech should not be an occasion for self-righteousness. I can-not tell you how many times I have found the same lan-guage rising from within me. I might have succeed-ed in suppressing it, but the thought was there just the same. The Bible reminds us, “So, if you think you are standing firm, be care-ful that you do not fall!” (1 Corinthians 10:12).For that reason, through the years I have tried to preface

my words with a simple prayer: “Let the words of my mouth and the medita-tion of my heart be accept-able in your sight, O Lord” (Psalm 19:14).Certainly there are times- whether in the workplace or in our personal pursuits - when circumstances tempt us to utter words that would offend or harm others. So it would be wise to heed the apostle Paul’s admonition in Ephesians 4:29,“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up accord-ing to their needs, that it may benefit those who lis-ten.”A friend of mine, Mart De Haan, has suggested the following prayer: “Father, forgive me for taking Your Name in vain, even if only within the silence of my own heart. Help all of us to recognize the nervous self-reliance that causes us to use such high thoughts in such a low and vulgar way. Help us to learn from our own profanity to see our need of Your Spirit so that we instead will say, ‘Oh my God, let everything that I do and say be not for my own satisfaction and self-serving motives but rather for Christ’s sake. Amen.’ ”

CARTER’S CORNERBy Carter Helschien

Teen LifeThe Boca Raton Tribune

All parents have been there: they ask their son or daugh-ter to do something in the next five minutes; twenty minutes later, it’s still not done. Of course the parents are rightfully upset and de-mand to know why their son or daughter didn’t do whatever task they should have accomplished twenty minutes prior; yet the son or daughter innocently says that he or she doesn’t re-member being asking to do the task. What is the solution to this confounding problem, pa-rents might ask? Well, it’s simple; it’s called the Rule of Threes. First discovered by a Swedish scientist du-ring World War I, the Rule of Threes explains why teenagers do not listen to requests, orders, com-mands, or polite queries for assistance the first two times parents ask. Rather, the Rule of Threes states that if parents want a job to be done by a teenager, they must ask the teenager not once, not twice, but three times. The reason teenagers do not process information on

Rule of Three’sthe first two attempts is, in reality, quite simple. We as teenagers have trained ourselves to automatically tune-out boring and time-consuming adult dialogue. Therefore, the first request for help by parents will be channeled through the ear canal, hit the brain, and immediately sorted into the brain’s recycling bin. Teen-agers therefore automati-cally assume that any truly important information pa-rents wish to convey will be restated again if it is indeed important. Consequently, our infamous teen-logic helps us derive the theory that there is no point to lis-ten to something the first time if it is going to be re-peated a second time. On the second attempt, a small portion of parents (about 1% of the entire parent population of the world) will have success. For the other 99% of pa-rents, however, the second attempt will start off the same as the first: the re-quest will go into the teen-ager’s ear and hit the brain; from there, however, it will be sorted into some random

folder in the teenager’s brain to be processed at a later time (perhaps it will be put in the folder concerning the capitals of the United States he or she learned in fifth grade.) The reason for this is that the teenager’s subconscious mind reali-zes that a request is being made by the parent, but is reluctant to accomplish that task. Consequently, the subconscious mind decides to postpone the completion of said task by preventing the conscious mind from comprehending the infor-mation being asked.Finally, however, on the third attempt, a parent’s re-quest will undoubtedly be heard and understood loud and clear by any typical teenager. So in the end, parents should not get angry their sons or daughters if they don’t accomplish a reques-ted task; rather, it is the parents’ faults for not fol-lowing the Rule of Three’s. For if the Rule of Three’s is followed, there will be less yelling, fewer instances of angry parents, and it will ultimately lead to a very happy family.

CRANK UP THE HEAT

With the end of the NBA Season, I thought it would be appropriate to publish my pick for the League’s top awards. Bellow, you will find my picks for MVP, 6th Man of the Year, Most Improved, Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.NBA Most Valuable Pla-yer: Derrick Rose (Chicago)LeBron James is one of the best players in the world. We all know that, but with-out Derrick Rose at the realm, the Bulls would not be the number one seed in the eastern conference.NBA 6th Man of the Year: Lamar Odom (Los Ange-les)

End of the Season AwardsLamar Odom is the ob-vious winner, even if he started 34 games. Odom is averaging around 14 points per game, and if the Lakers want to tree-peat, they will need Odom to be their best player off the bench.NBA Most Improved Player: Kevin Love (Min-nesota)Love went from 14 PPG and 11 RPG last season to 20 PPG and 15 RPG. This is a no-brainer. And he also holds the record for most consecutive double-dou-bles. That’s winning.NBA Coach of The Year: Doug Collins (Philadel-phia)Collins took over a Phila-delphia team that hasn’t

done much for while and got them in the playoffs as the number seven seed. If for some reason Philadel-phia upsets Miami, Doug Collins will have this award in the bag.NBA Defensive Player of the Year: Dwight Howard (Orlando)Some argue he should be MVP. I won’t go that far, but he is 3rd in the NBA in blocks and is a flat out monster in the paint. This should be an easy pick.NBA Rookie of the Year: Blake Griffin (LA Clip-pers)Griffin averaged 22 PPG, 12 RPG, and 4 APG as a rookie. He is the human highlight reel, has people in

Los Angeles talking about “the other team” that shares the Staples Center with the Lakers, and that in itself is an accomplishment in my book. Now, is he consid-ered a “rookie”? NBA First Team:Dwight Howard (Orlando)LeBron James (Miami)Dwyane Wade (Miami)Derrick Rose (Chicago)Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City)NBA Second Team:Kobe Bryant (LA Lakers)Amaré Stoundemire (New York)Pau Gasol (LA Lakers)Russell Westrbook (Okla-homa City)Kevin Love (Minnesota)

“A good diet can not make an average athlete great, but a poor diet can make a great athlete average.” -David Costill, Ball State University, Indiana Golf is a lifetime sport that both men and women of all ages enjoy participating in. However, for the competi-tive golfer, it is a test of the athlete’s physical and men-tal endurance. While equip-ment and physical fitness are important to the game, a balanced diet is often the most overlooked aspect that all serious golfers must consider.

DEFINING A BALANCED DIET For golfers, a balanced diet begins with eating at least 50% of your total ca-loric intake from carbohy-drates such as whole grains, breads, pastas, rice, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred energy source during activity. It fuels the brain and nervous system, preserves protein while helping to burn fat. Consuming carbohydrates during activity helps main-tain blood glucose levels, allowing the golfer to have improved concentration. Protein is another impor-tant macronutrient to in-

corporate into the balanced diet. Have 6 to 8 ounces of protein daily, and choose lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, round or loin cuts of beef, beans or legumes. Protein is needed for growth and repair of muscles, and helps regulate body processes as enzymes and hormones. Fat is the final macronutri-ent in the balanced diet. Fat, like carbohydrate, provides fuel for working muscles, but it is a more concentrated fuel source. Recommended fat intake is the same for athletes as for all healthy people - no more than 30% of your total calories com-ing from fat. This is approx-imately 4-5 ser-vings of fat (based on 2000 calories). One serving of fat equals 1 teaspoon of oil or marga-rine, 6 nuts, or 2 teaspoons of peanut butter.

FILL UP ON FLUIDS Hydration is an imperative component in the successful golfers game. Consuming adequate fluids before, dur-ing and after playing golf is beneficial. Even a slight de-crease in bodyweight due to dehydration can affect your performance and result in fatigue & mental dullness. Consume approximately 8 oz of fluid before tee time. While golfing consume 4-8 oz of fluid every15-20

minutes or at every hole. If celebrating with alcoholic beverages is planned at the 19th hole, alternate fluid (nonalcoholic) with alco-holic drinks. Alcohol acts as a diuretic and actually increases fluid loss, so it is not a good choice for the re-placement of fluids lost dur-ing the round of golf. To help your performance try these nutrition tips as you eat for “peak perfor-mance!”

BEFORE THE MOR-NING ROUND 1 cup oatmeal 1 banana or 1 cup orange juice 1 cup skim milk or 1 cup nonfat yogurt 2 slices whole-wheat toast 2 teaspoons margarine

AFTER THE 9TH HOLE 12 ounces Sports Drink 2 tablespoons peanut butter and crackers or 1 piece of fruit or 1 granola or cereal bar

POST GAME Don’t forget to re-hydrate as mentioned above! 3-4 ounces grilled chicken breast 1 cup brown rice 1 cup steamed broccoli 1 cup mixed greens salad 2 teaspoons low fat dress-ing 1 cup fruit salad These are just a few tips to jump start proper fueling as an important and integral part of your training pro-gram. Each athlete is unique and has different training schedules, food preferences, lifestyle factors, and weight concerns.
