Consumers of Palm Beach County water are getting a little something extra in their homes these days – a stronger shot of chlorine.

County Water Utilities officials said they are using “a somewhat stronger disinfection process to pro-duce chlorine residual, instead of a chloramine residual,” and the process will run through Sept. 23.

Several people complained to the Boca Raton Tribune about the strong chlorine smell. One person said he thought someone had been using bleach in a bathroom because the odor was so intense.

Another said he was unable to drink tea or other beverages made with tap water because the taste was so bad.

A statement from the water de-partment says that “customers served by the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department may

Stephen Joseph Ladika passed away peacefully on Aug. 24, 2011 at age 83.

Born in Buffalo, N.Y. on March 24, 1928, he complet-ed his education at St. Bonaventure University. Having heard God’s call early in his life, Mr. Ladika was ordained a Catholic priest on June 7, 1952, in the Diocese of Buffa-lo. After serving the church faithfully for 13 years, he was granted leave from the priesthood and married Maryann Denz on Aug. 23, 1965.

The couple then moved to Boca Raton to start a fam-ily. In January of 1968, Mr. Ladika started work at Boca Raton Community Hospital (now Boca Raton Regional Hospital) as personnel director. He steadily progressed to vice president of the hospital. In April of 1977, af-ter the loss of Frank and Pat Dawson, Mr. Ladika was named president and chief executive officer. He served in this position until March of 1988. In 1989, he was named Trustee Emeritus until his full retirement in 1990.

When his wife, Maryann, passed away on Nov. 19, 2004, the loss of his soul mate was very painful. But Mr. Ladika’s great faith in God helped pull him through.

He had a love for life and people, and was blessed to have so many good friends. He touched many lives with his generosity and good humor.

He is survived by his sister Mary Schihl, his children Heidi Ladika- Cipolla and Matthew Ladika, four grand-children, as well as many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Tuesday, August 30, 2011, at 11 a.m. in St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, 370 SW Third Street, Boca Raton.

Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation, 745 Meadows Road, Boca Raton, FL 33486.

BOCA RATON -- A new tradition is about to be born, one that will pair Lynn University’s iconic symbol of the Knight with the famous legend of King Arthur’s Round Table.

As its name suggests, it has no head, implying that everyone who sits there has equal status.

Starting this semester, Lynn’s student govern-ment association will re-flect this type of structure. The Knights of the Round-table will replace the for-mer Student Government

Association (SGA) and the traditional student govern-ment concept led by a pres-ident. Instead, 12 “knights” will be chosen to represent their different courts – each court to represent various clubs, organizations and student interest groups.

The 12 courts include: Community service, re-ligion, special interest, Greeks, residential life, stu-dent athletes, academic, knights activities team, rec-reation, commuters, gradu-ate and evening, communi-cation and members at large.

Twelve Knights to replace Student Government System at Lynn

Phil Riordan, vice presi-dent of student life, said he is excited because “This will give 11 more students the opportunity to step up and the chance for all stu-dents to work together toward a common goal. It

provides more involvement across the board, and offers more flexibility.”

There will be two meet-ings a month: one closed (for the 12 knights to meet separately) and one open to all members of the courts. Each court will meet indi-vidually as well.

“This is a unique ap-proach that allows for more representation,” says Rior-dan.

In September, Student Life will host the inaugural Knights of the Roundtable meeting where all courts will get together to pick their knight.

WEST PALM BEACH -- Known for her volun-teer leadership and com-mitment to community, Dorothy Bradshaw, deputy director procurement at the South Florida Water Management District, has taken on an executive role with the American Heart Association.

The organization has named Bradshaw chairman of the annual Heart Walk and 5K Run of the Palm Beaches to take place on Sat-urday, October 1 at the Mey-er Amphitheatre in down-town West Palm Beach.

Under her leadership, the signature community-wide event is expected to draw more than 12,000 people walking for heart health and overall well be-ing while simultaneously raising funds for lifesaving heart and stroke research.

Dorothy Bradshaw to lead annual Heart Walk

campaignBradshaw has been ac-

tively engaged with numer-ous community organiza-tions over the years, serving on a variety of committees, acting as a board member and serving in other lead-ership roles. She’s also the recipient of the “Outstand-ing Alumni Award” from Northwood University.

The Heart Walk is com-posed of corporate walk teams, community teams, chaired by Ralph Pondis-cio, individual walkers, survivors and “lifestyle he-roes” who’ve made positive changes to reduce heart disease and stroke risk fac-tors. It’s open to the public with no registration fee.

Brazilians in West Boca Celebrate Their Independence Day with Grand FestivalBy: Pedro Heizer

Imagine yourself cel-ebrating the Fourth of July overseas not just once, but for numerous years. You could be very adapted to the life in our new country, but Fourth of July will still be a very important date in your calendar every year.

That’s what happens to many Brazilians who live in the United States. The Brazilians celebrate their independence day on Sep-tember 7.

On September 7 1822, Don Pedro I, the prince in charge of the Portuguese colony in Brazil, broke all ties with the royal crown of Portugal by declaring the Independence of Brazil.

September 7th is a very important date for Brazilians all over the world. Many families get together to cele-brate not only their indepen-dence, but their culture and things that remind them of their homeland.

The Brazilian Congrega-tion of Boca Glades Baptist Church in Boca Raton sees this day as a great opportu-nity to reach out to the Bra-zilian community in West Boca Raton.

The Igreja Baptista Boca Glades is throwing their Third Annual Brazilian In-dependence day festival this Saturday, September 4.

Last year, the church had over 700 people attend and taste all the difference fla-vors of Brazilian food and

this year they are expecting over 1,500 people.

This is a terrific oppor-tunity for you to have a taste of Brazil without needing to leave the country. At the festival, there will be tents with each of the regions of Brazil, southeast, northeast, mideast, north, and south. Each tent will have special dishes that are typical to that region of the country.

“Last year, we had a great turnout but this year from the looks of it, it seems as if we will have the biggest crowd we have ever seen” said the pastor of the church, Jose Uchoa.

Not only will there be food, but there will be mu-sic. Throughout the event, there will be music sung, and

danced.Entrance to the event is

free but, there will be charg-es for the food. All the mon-ey from the food they receive will be given to Missions. The Igreja Baptista Boca Glades is currently works with multiple organizations including “The Joshua Proj-ect”.

Joshua Project is a re-search initiative seeking to highlight the ethnic people groups of the world. Joshua

Project gathers, inte-grates and shares people group information to en-courage pioneer church-planting movements among every ethnic group and to fa-cilitate effective coordination of mission agency efforts.

Joshua Project compiles

the work of numerous mis-sions’ researchers to develop a list of all ethnic peoples that is as complete as pos-sible.

The event will be held at Boca Glades Baptist Church

in West Boca Raton starting at 4pm and going until 9pm on Sunday, September 4. The address to the church is:10101 Judge Winikoff EdBoca Raton, FL 33428

Anti-bullying film to be screened at high school

Scene from “Coexist”

BOCA RATON -- Florida Atlantic Univer-sity students have made their way back to classes, marking the start of the university’s fall 2011 se-mester.

FAU received more than 24,600 freshman ap-plications for admission for the fall 2011 semes-ter, as well as more than 8,000 transfer applica-tions – both a record for the university. The FAU Graduate College also had a 2 percent increase in ap-plications for the fall 2011 semester.

For the first time in FAU’s history, freshman applications were received from every county in the state of Florida. FAU re-ceived 4,627 applications from Broward County

this year, a 42 percent increase. Duval County applications went from 206 to 729, a 254 percent increase, while Orange County applications in-creased from 451 to 1,159 applications, a 157 percent increase.

Hillsborough County hopefuls sent 1,102 ap-plications, an increase of 155 percent. Brevard County applications in-creased from 276 to 528, a 91 percent increase. And, the university received 2,915 applications from Palm Beach County, a 47 percent increase. Overall, FAU had an increase in applications from every Florida county.

FAU President Mary Jane Saunders, along with FAU’s Board of Trustees,

has embraced the goal of transforming FAU into an institution of first choice for entering college fresh-men. Academic programs have been complemented by collaborations with world-class research in-stitutes and industry leaders, including Scripps Florida, the Max Planck Florida Institute, Torrey-Pines, and most recently, the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute.

In addition, FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt Col-lege of Medicine was granted preliminary ac-creditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education to offer an in-dependent medical educa-tion program, which wel-comed its charter medical school class in August.

For the first time in FAU’s history, there were more than 3,850 students who applied to live in the residence halls at FAU’s Boca Raton campus. This increase clearly marks FAU’s continued progres-sion as a traditional uni-versity.

This semester also marks the grand opening of phase one of Innova-tion Village Apartments, two apartment buildings totaling 489,000 square feet and providing 1,216 beds for upper-division and graduate students. The complex consists of a seven- and eight-story building, and features a mix of two- and four-bed-room, two-bathroom, ful-ly-furnished apartments.

New FAU students are back to class in record numbers

BOCA RATON -- To make bullying socially un-acceptable in schools and society, Adam Mazo, for-mer Palm Beach County resident, is bringing his award-winning film “Coex-ist,” straight from a Florida film festival to Palm Beach County high schools for the first time.

The aim is to engage with students to discuss how “othering”, scapegoat-ing and bullying can lead to serious violence and mass atrocities.

The film will be shown Tuesday, Sept. 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at FAU High School in Boca Raton. It will also be shown that same day at Palm Beach Lakes Com-munity High School from 7:30 to 11:10 a.m.

“Coexist” explores the painful and personal stories of Rwandan genocide sur-vivors as they are made to try to reconcile with perpe-trators being released back into their communities from prison.

Viewers say that “Coex-ist” masterfully captures the nuance and complexity of the process of dehumaniza-tion and re-humanization that takes place during geno-cide and in its aftermath.

Mazo and his colleague, “Coexist” Learning Di-

rector Dr. Mishy Lesser, work in schools and youth groups using the movie and companion Viewer’s Guide to challenge students to reflect deeply on their core beliefs. The team engages students in activities and dialogue about pressing issues like peer-pressure, name-calling and bullying, which directly impact the ability of youth to succeed and thrive.

“Since its premiere, we have witnessed how ‘Co-exist’ is a powerful tool to foster understanding about how violence escalates, how it can be interrupted, and the potential in each of us to be victim, perpetrator, bystander, and up stander,” said Mazo.

“Teachers, students and community members are encouraged to attend this event so that we can begin a dialogue about violence prevention, and learn to coexist in peace with each other despite our differ-ences,” says Dr. Rose Gat-ens, Director of the Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education at Flori-da Atlantic University.

The film is coming to Palm Beach County as a program of FAU’s Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education.

BOCA RATON -- More than 500 new students ar-rived on Lynn University’s campus last week to pre-pare for the start of a new school year. They started classes Monday, Aug. 29, with the rest of Lynn's re-turning student body.

The incoming group contains citizens from 53 countries, residents from 40 states and 152 students from Florida. Countries

represented include Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, Ger-many, Switzerland and Italy.

“We are thrilled to wel-come the largest incoming class over the past three years to Lynn's campus,” said Gareth Fowles, vice president for enrollment management.

“In addition to being a large group, it’s also very

diverse and reflects the in-ternational flavor of Lynn. I can't think of a better way to start the year in which we'll be celebrating our 50th anniversary.”

This is a strong start to Lynn’s 2011-12 academic year, an important year for the university. Lynn will learn if it will host a 2012 presidential election debate this fall semester, and during the spring se-

mester the school plans to celebrate its 50th an-niversary and unveil the Remembrance Plaza, a permanent memorial to the four students and two Lynn faculty who died in the 2010 Haiti earthquake while serving others.

Final enrollment num-bers will be available in September after the drop/add process is complete.

BOCA RATON -- Flor-ida Atlantic University’s human-powered submarine team was awarded the ab-solute speed award, fast-est speed by category (one person propeller), smooth operator award, and sec-ond place in overall perfor-mance at the 11th annual International Submarine Races at the Naval Surface Warfare Center- Carderock Division in Bethesda, Md.

FAU competed against 34 universities from coun-tries such as Greece, Eng-land, France, Mexico, Oman and Venezuela, as well as the United States and Canada. The team’s race was partic-ularly competitive with rival boat-Omer 8 from Ecole de Technologie Superieure, a university in Quebec, Can-ada. However, with the top speed of 6.814 knots, FAU pulled through similar to its race in 2009 when the FAU team was awarded the abso-lute speed award for having the fastest sub at the race.

“These students were incredibly motivated to work on this project.

They have a variety of skills that go from perform-

ing computations to fabrica-tion and machining subma-rine parts,” said Edgar An, Ph.D., the team advisor and professor in the department of ocean and mechanical en-gineering within the College of Engineering and Com-puter Science at FAU. “The sub project is the best way to get the students to learn how to apply and integrate their knowledge acquired from the classes taken.”

FAU’s College of En-gineering and Computer Science has other competi-tive student race teams that have had similar successes.

The Owls Race Team recently competed at the Formula Society of Au-tomotive Engineers com-petition and took second best finish in school history with 45th place overall de-spite an engine failure in the endurance event. The race team also had a com-mendable design score of 15th out of 122 teams that competed.

Stephen Ladika’s legacy: Service to God, family and mankind

SANDY HUNTSMAN, SYNESIO LYRA, GERALD SHERMAN, MARC KENT, KAY RENZ,

MATT PINEDA

The world is filled with people who like to boast about the things they always hoped to do, but never did. Then, there are those who accomplish great things quietly and never spend much time talking about them.

Stephen Ladika fits into the second category.

My association with Mr. Ladika was brief, and it has now ended.

Stephen Ladika passed away last week at the age of 83.

In that short time, I found out many things about this gentle and quiet man –largely from others who had associated with him.

I learned that Mr. Ladi-ka had been the president and chief executive officer of Boca Raton Commu-nity Hospital (now Boca Raton Regional Hospital) through the 1980s, retir-ing in 1988.

Before that, he was a Catholic priest, and had faithfully served God for 13 years before he was given permission to leave the priesthood to marry Maryann Denz. They raised two children, im-parting to them the im-portance of faith, kindness and a sense of fair play.

Henrietta, Countess

de Hoernle remembered Steve and Maryann La-dika when my wife and I recently spoke with her. She recalled serving on the Hospital Board when Ladika was in charge. The Countess spoke of his kindness and gentle manner, and how well he received her request that Board minutes be kept me-ticulously.

Even to this day, she remembers the wonder-ful cookies that Maryann used to make. (Mrs. Ladika passed away in 2004).

Mayor Susan Whelchel, during the presentation last year of a proclama-tion to Stephen’s son, Matt Ladika, CEO of Home Safe, recalled living in the same neighborhood as the Ladika family – and re-membered Matt as a small boy in that neighborhood. The fond memories of the Ladika family have lasted many years.

Stephen Ladika sat proudly near the front of the Council Chambers as his son Matt accepted the award.

I suspect Stephen La-dika was more comfortable talking about others than about himself. I found a quote from Mr. Ladika in a story about Eugene Lynn, a major contributor to the

hospital whose widow, Christine, continues to do-nate.

“He always stressed quality of care,” Steven Ladika said of Lynn. “Pa-tients always came first. Physicians never received a negative vote when it came to the purchase of equipment as long as it contributed to the quality of care.”

Mr. Ladika had high praise for hospital auxil-iary members. In a letter to the Board, he wrote: “For the most part, these miracle workers are my senior in age and probably have more aches and pains than I.

And here’s the clincher -- they don’t even get a paycheck! Why are they smiling? Why are they here at all? Well, they are being paid.

They are receiving dai-ly deposits in an account that money can’t buy.

The love they gener-ate accrues interest a hun-dredfold. The help they give others is their reward. But let me tell you, the example they set for us employees is worth a mil-lion.``

I’ve scoured the Inter-net to find information about Mr. Ladika. But what I found were mainly

his comments about the good that others have done.

Jerry Fedele, the cur-rent president and CEO at Boca Hospital, offered the following comment: “Mr. Ladika served our insti-tution exceedingly well in a number of signifi-cant capacities, including president. Not only was he respected as an accom-plished executive, but was also genuinely liked for his engaging personality and demeanor. He will be greatly missed by the en-tire Boca Regional family.”

It was probably no co-incidence that Mr. Ladika passed away at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, the in-stitution where he did so much good – and where his legacy is still strongly felt.

But he leaves loving children and grandchil-dren who will no doubt carry on the lessons they learned from their father and grandfather.

And as Mr. Ladika learned when he was in God’s service, death is not the end of life, but only a step to another existence where his remarkable work on earth will be re-warded.

Dear Dale,Great editorial (about autumn in New England) I

shared it with a number of folks back home….makes me want fall…. You know, everyone asks me here if I miss the Northeast and my answer always is, only in the fall!

We Can, Ignore What We Cannot” (Aug. 18-24) is a paramount principal for living the good life. Sto-ic philosopher Epictitus emphasized this, as indeed does AA. The locus of control is within ourselves. It should not be employed in a wasteful attempt to change the unchangeable.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

Preparation for Hurricane Irene was good practice for storm season

Approach Without Reproach!

If you’re sitting at home today with 20 gal-lons of gasoline in the garage, 10 jars of peanut butter in the cupboard, about 100 batteries and a weather radio all cranked up and ready to go, don’t feel bad.

About a week ago at this time, TV and ra-dio meteorologists were warning us that Hurricane Irene was heading our way. And while it seemed to be nudging its way to the east, emergency officials warned us to get ready just in case the storm shifted.

Well, it did take a shift – away from us, but right on course with the Caro-linas and eventually the Northeast. The storm bat-tered many of these places more seriously than they had been in decades.

North Carolina, New Jersey, Vermont, Massa-chusetts and Rhode Is-land all seemed to suffer a knockout blow from the storm that barely raised a few gusts of wind around South Florida.

If you stocked up on supplies and kept tuned to radio and TV news dur-ing the storm’s approach,

you did the right thing. And don’t think yourself foolish because you have a house full of goods that may take a long time to use up.

We are at the height of hurricane season – and will be for another month or so at least. (Don’t for-get, Hurricane Wilma struck on Oct. 24, 2005). And it had already passed us when it turned around and shot across the Ever-glades to slam Palm Beach County.

We do feel very, very bad for the many people up north who remain without power and who are still cut off from civilization be-cause of floods and roads that have literally been ripped up and demolished.

Fox and CNN have been focusing on those stricken areas – and the images we’ve seen are heart-wrenching.

Dale King, the Tri-bune’s managing editor, said he has been in contact with both his brothers in Massachusetts, and they are safe. His wife has also heard from her family in Rhode Island and they also managed to weather the

horrendous storm.We should all take

heart that we missed this one. But 40 people or more are dead – from a storm they didn’t expect. That is a terrible tragedy.

But even before Irene had made her way up the coast, another tropical storm – Jose – had formed in the Atlantic and ba-sically went no where. Then, we were told about another tropical depres-sion moving off the coast of Africa. We must remain on guard.

We at the Boca Raton Tribune have published periodic reminders about what to do in case of a hurricane. Hopefully, you have cut these articles out and made them part of your preparation kit.

We hope and pray that the hurricane season will be calm. But we have seen one destructive storm nudge by – just like Ka-trina did a few years ago – on is way to destroy New Orleans.

So don’t feel silly if you start to stockpile goods when a storm is coming this way. After all, it’s bet-ter to be safe than sorry.

There’s no better in-gredient than tact, when seeking contact with other people. The same must be maintained if the new contact is to endure and become mutually edifying. Charles Swindoll reminds that “all of us are drawn to those whose faces invite us in and urge us on.”

Those who approach people with a “yes” face, more than likely will con-nect with others if a posi-tive posture can be main-tained from that moment on! Meeting others needs to be carried on in a calm, sincere way.

From the outset, a per-son you meet must per-ceive sincerity in your in-tentions; the interest you manifest is to be in the individual rather than in whatever he or she can do for you. As the late Elton Trueblood had proposed, “we must let our lives speak, before our words can be heard!”

It’s far better when you talk less about yourself and more about the discern-ible, valuable qualities you

encounter in this new ac-quaintance. If you appear before anybody with a hid-den agenda, your tricks will be quickly discovered and you, yourself, may be just as swiftly dismissed from a potential, ongoing relation-ship of mutual trust.

Once I saw a poster that illustrates these con-cerns very accurately. It states that, “great people talk about ideas; average people talk about things; small people talk about other people.” A reality which cannot be denied is that the enthusiasm of some persons in calling at-tention to other people’s faults will in no way erase or hide the evidence of their own mistakes!

Even if you may be ac-curate on your fault-find-ing in somebody else, you are not justified in main-taining that practice since you also are not without blemish. Jesus addressed the human bent on hypoc-risy, when he complained in His Sermon on the Mount, “And why do you look at the speck in your

brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:3).

Author Jack Kahl com-ments that “the world re-volves around relationships between people, and trust is at the heart of all human relationships.” Care should be given to develop and re-tain high quality relation-ships for mutual benefits.

Be pure in your motiva-tion and sincere in your ap-proach to people. Be sure that the image you wish to project to others corre-sponds to good intentions you purpose to bring into the relationship. Be sensi-tive to the peculiarities of other people!

Remember that several factors which may make you attractive to some may be void of the credibility necessary to establish so-lidity in your interactions with them and with oth-ers. The image you need to build must be fashioned according to eternal prin-ciples, not the shifting, provisional, artificial stan-dards too common in con-temporary society!

Municipal NewsThe Boca Raton Tribune

The Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Of-fice Community Policing Unit and Street Team conducted an undercover opera-tion targeting street level prostitution on South Military Trail in suburban West Palm Beach on Aug. 24. The operation

resulted in the arrest of 8 female prosti-tutes, (5 for soliciting prostitution, and 3 for trespassing) and 15 male “Johns” for soliciting a prostitute for a grand total of 23 arrests.

BOCA RATON -- Citi-zens Crime Watch of Boca Raton, city officials and the Boca Raton Police Services Department recently cel-ebrated a 30-year partner-ship with Crime Watch.

City Clerk Susan Sax-ton read the proclamation and Crime Watch repre-sentatives presented the city and police department

with a plaque honoring the milestone.

The mission of Citizens Crime Watch of Boca Ra-ton is to reduce crime with-in the Boca Raton Com-munity through citizen participation in cooperation with the Boca Raton Police Services Department.

Members maintain neighborhood networks,

attend meetings and work with Boca Raton Crime Prevention Officers who teach them how to reduce the opportunities for crime and how to look for and re-port suspicious activity to the police.

Citizens Crime Watch of Boca Raton was founded in 1981.

BOCA RATON – Ex-State Rep. Adam Hasner has tapped former Speaker of the House Allan Bense to chair his campaign for U.S. Senate in the 2012 election.

Hasner’s campaign also received the endorsement of Bense, he said in a letter to his supporters.

‘Speaker Bense is a proven limited-government conservative who worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Jeb Bush to advance a main-stream conservative agenda during his time as Speaker of the House,” Hasner said.

“As a businessman, Al-

lan understands how big government, out-of- control spending, and mountains of foreign debt limit our ability to grow jobs in America,” said the candidate.

“As a common sense con-servative, he understands that our economy and people flourish when government promotes more freedom by taxing less, spending less and regulating less,” Has-ner added. “I am proud that I got the chance to serve alongside Speaker Bense in the Florida House, and I am honored he is lending his support to our campaign.”

Hasner, a Republican, is one of several who have an-nounced they will challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

BOCA RATON – Boca Police said that on Mon-day, Oct. 25, 2010, just af-ter noon, the resident of a Nottingham Road dwell-ing arrived home to find an unknown male inside her house. The male said to her, "Don't call the police, I have a gun," but did not display a weapon.

Police said the suspect then casually walked to where he left his backpack and left via the front door. When investigators pro-cessed the scene, they found blood both inside the house and outside around where

a window screen was cut. They also recovered several latent fingerprints.

On Nov. 1, 2010, detec-tives were notified that a fingerprint recovered from a pair of sunglasses found in the back yard of the vic-tim's residence belonged to Robert Heyner, 44. Detec-tives spoke with Heyner's family members who said they did not know where he was staying and had not seen him.

On August 17, 2011, the Palm Beach County Sher-iff's Office Forensic Biology Unit notified Boca Raton

detectives that the blood evidence submitted for analysis identified the DNA as belonging to Robert Heyner. Detectives spoke with the victim who said she does not know

Heyner, and she has nev-er allowed him in her house.

A day later, detectives filed for a warrant for the arrest of Heyner for armed burglary, armed robbery, grand theft and criminal mischief.

Police said Heyner is currently in Broward Coun-ty Jail on unrelated charges.

These temporary con-ditions will not cause ad-verse health effects. If you are especially sensitive to

the taste or odor of chlo-rine, keep an open con-tainer of drinking water in your refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate.”

A customer service rep-resentative contacted by the Boca Raton Tribune

Wednesday said the same thing.

The additional chlorine will mean additional work for some in the county, of-ficials said in their state-ment. “Users of home di-alysis machines, owners of tropical fish and managers

of stores and restaurants with fish and shellfish hold-ing tanks are advised to seek professional advice as the method for removing chlorine residuals differs from removing chloramine residuals from tap water.”

The flushing is needed

periodically, officials said, “to maintain high qual-ity in the county’s water distribution system.” Hy-drant flushing is also being increased as a preventative maintenance measure.

For more informa-tion call the Palm Beach

County Water Utilities Department at (561) 740-4600, option #3. The Boca Raton Tribune called one afternoon and was told by a recording that 86 people were on the line already, and to expect at least a half-hour wait.

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

BOCA RATON – Lo-cal police are investigating robberies that occurred Aug. 20 and Aug. 22.

Police said the first was an unarmed heist about 12:50 in the afternoon. The victim and her sister were sitting at a bus stop on NE 20th Street, when they were approached by a male on a dark colored bicycle. They engaged the male in conversation about the bus schedule and when he pointed east, they looked in that direction and the male grabbed a thin gold necklace from around the

victim’s neck. The suspect left west towards Dixie Highway where they lost sight of him.

The second robbery, police said, occurred on Aug. 22 about 12:30 a.m. The victim was walking to her car parked at 1 South Ocean Boulevard. As she approached her car she no-ticed two males walking toward her.

Police said she got into her car and as she was try-ing to close the door, one man grabbed it, forced it open and demanded her bag. The two suspects were

both armed with black semi-automatic handguns, said police.

While one suspect took her bag and her GPS, the other suspect went to the passenger side of the car and rifled the glove box. The suspects left north on foot on State Road A1A, then west on Palmetto Park Road.

Anyone with informa-tion about either of these crimes is asked to call De-tective Jeff Clare at (561) 338-1246 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS.

He said the unit will be sending the device to the lab for analysis to deter-mine if it was potentially dangerous. Maypan Drive and nearby Shorewind Drive were closed for a time until all the equip-ment was removed.

Davis said that once the lab work is complete, the investigation will be turned over to investiga-tors from the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

ENTERTAINMENTBy Skip Sheffield

Six Years” is a produc-tion to be admired, not loved. The heavy-hitting drama by Sharr White con-tinues through Sept. 4 at Caldwell Theatre Compa-ny, 7901 N. Federal High-way, Boca Raton.

The title refers to the six-year-intervals of the play’s five scenes. Scene one is set in 1949 in a St. Louis motel. Phil Granger (Todd Allen Durkin), a dazed and confused World War II veteran, has returned to his distraught wife Meredith (Margery Lowe). Meredith is distraught because Phil simply disappeared in 1944, when he stopped writing home. Phil never told Mer-edith where he was or what had happened to him.

Phil has a really bad case of what we now call Post-Traumatic Stress Dis-order. Back then he would have been labeled “shell-shocked.”

While the couple has been reunited, their re-lationship will never be smooth. Phil has a volatile temper and severe mood swings. Meredith has filed preliminary divorce papers.

The role of Phil is a challenging opportunity, and Todd Allen Durkin runs with it in his Caldwell debut. He can be charming and funny one moment, ac-idly sarcastic the next, and frighteningly furious with-out warning.

The role of Meredith is much less flashy. Mostly it is that of suffering, but Margery Lowe conveys real pain, and when she fi-nally begins to stand up for herself, we feel her pride.

‘Six Years’ Admirable, Tough at Caldwell Theatre

Todd Allen Durkin and Margery Lowe in “SixYears.”

Other roles are more sketchily drawn. The Grangers’ son Michael (Michael Focas) is hardly there; a casualty of war if you will.

Meredith’s brother Jack Muncie (Gregg Weiner) has some short, powerful moments of interaction with unpredictable Phil.

With the couple’s mar-riage in shambles, two additional characters are introduced into the Grang-ers’ marital drama. Tom Wheaton (David Perez-Ribada) is only too happy to provide a shoulder to cry on, and more for Meredith. Dorothy (Betsy Graver) is a seductive character who is shocked witness to one of Phil’s scariest breakdowns in a California motel.

Director Clive Choler-ton uses video projections and vintage recordings to depict the five different eras. Tim Bennett’s set utilizes a turntable to enable quick, smooth scene changes.

“Six Years” is mostly about bad stuff: war, men-tal instability, infidelity, cruelty, divorce, the rise of cookie-cutter suburbs and even the effects of bad diet. In short it is a lot like real life, and real life, as most of us know, is never a picnic.

But if you are look-ing for thought-provoking commentary, heartfelt act-ing and historical reference, you should find much to ad-mire in “Six Years”

Tickets are $38-$50. Call 561-241-7432 or go to www.caldwelltheatre.org.

Our paper is filled with so many wonderful stories of local leaders and orga-nizations working together to create a stronger com-munity. But with the volatile economy, many have won-dered if we can still afford to be socially responsible.

The answer was a re-sounding "yes!" from a dis-tinguished panel of entre-preneurs who recently spoke at Palm Beach State College.

Representing Boca Ra-ton was businesswoman/philanthropist Yvonne Boice, who joined Suzanne Mulvehill, vice mayor of Lake Worth; Mark Llano, founder of Source One Distributors and Sandra Foland, owner of Baron Sign Manufacturing. Each speakers' personal story proved how important be-ing community-focused was to each of their success stories. And no matter how busy they were striving for their goals and overcoming challenges, each found time to devote to their passion for helping others.

The seminar began with a presentation by Mohit Mukherjee, director of UP-EACE, Centre for Execu-tive Education U.N. Man-dated University for Peace. The Harvard-educated Mukherjee gave an over-view of the principles of social entrepreneurship and social responsibility, then handed the discussion over to the panel who provided their real world experiences.

Boice, well-known for her dedication to important cultural institutions locally, such as Palm Beach Inter-national Film Festival and the Centre for the Arts, and nationally, with her service

to the NationalEndowment of the Hu-

manities, inspired the audi-ence with her triumphant business success story.

Boice is the long-time owner of the prosperous Shoppes at Village Pointe on 18th Street. Many as-sumed that being a busi-ness owner was Yvonne's calling. It was not. The plaza had been her husband Grant's dream. But when he passed away unexpect-edly, Yvonne was left with a daunting challenge: How to fill the recently built center that was only 30 percent occupied. Many would have simply sold the property, but Yvonne was determined to make her husband's dream a reality.

One of the keys of so-cial responsibility is look-ing to solve a problem when you build your busi-ness, and Yvonne did just that. She saw the need for a plaza that suited the every-day needs of the family and she created that environ-ment, crafting a unique at-mosphere that offered day care, dance classes, karate, ice cream, restaurants, fash-ion/style, shipping, insur-ance, a nightlife and more!

That model works as well today as it did 25 years ago. The success of the plaza then afforded Yvonne the opportunity to focus on her avocation: travel.

And while she has en-joyed many glamorous sojourns, it's been her in-ternational travels rep-resenting the US in the Middle East, Asia, South America and more that have truly touched Yvonne.

It has been through these journeys that she has made an incredible im-pact on the lives of women around the globe. During these trips Yvonne impart-ed her business knowledge to women in a way that empowered them to take on new roles in their towns and countries.

The story that impacted the PBSC audience, how-ever, was the courageous declaration she made at the Moroccan Film Festival.

"I was asked for ideas to help stop the degradation of women in Morocco," she explained. "So I suggested they create a film contest that would portray women in a positive, empower-ing light, and that I would bring the winner of the

contest to the Palm Beach International Film Festival. They loved the idea and I was asked to speak at the Moroccan Film Festival. However, my prepared re-marks went out the window when the male speaker be-fore me addressed the au-dience and remarked that women will always be por-trayed as victims and this is how it should be."

Yvonne publicly railed against those comments and won the hearts of all those fighting for justice!

Yvonne's standing up for those who could not, proved the very important point that the PBSC pan-elists all were eloquently stressing, we all must be socially responsible. And for every person, that means a different thing, whether it's preserving the environ-ment, creating a business that solves a social ill, or inspiring others with your experience and passion. It's our responsibility to create a world that is a better place and we all have the power to do that. As witnessed by the amazing stories and people we often profile in the Boca Tribune. We have so much to be proud of !

BOCA RATON -- Emerging laser technolo-gies provide advanced ocean floor imaging capa-bility compared to sonar, and as an imminent U.S. patent shows, Florida At-lantic University is at the forefront of demonstrat-ing that potential.

Fraser Dalgleish, Ph.D., director of the FAU ocean visibility and op-tics lab at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, has received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to his Method and Apparatus for Synchronous Laser Beam Scanning patent application, an indication that the patent has been allowed for registration.

Phoenix-based Lincoln Laser Company provided

essential technology and testing consultation, and shares patent rights.

Mapping the ocean floor by optical means is complicated by factors such as variability in wa-ter opacity and particulate composition, high seabed relief and the presence of ambient light.

Synchronous laser beam scanning compen-sates for these challenges, permitting identification-quality image resolution at distances well beyond that required for similar quality using a typical camera and light source, as well as the potential for improvement in 3-D imaging of underwater scenes when compared to sonar.

Strategies include use of a pulsed laser, separa-

tion of laser source and sensor, and coordinated sweeping movement of the laser and sensor to simultaneously target the same specific, limited area and produce a mosaic im-age of the seafloor.

Although the system set a new standard for undersea laser imaging performance, current re-search focuses on further improvements in the per-formance, size and afford-ability of laser line scan technology. As such, this soon-to-be patented plat-form is used as a labora-tory validation tool for ongoing research.

Harbor Branch and Lincoln Laser are in the process of building a system for the U.S. Navy Naval Air Systems Com-mand.

In addition to scien-tific characterization of marine habitats, undersea laser imaging has national defense applications.

“Designing and veri-fying systems like this requires leading industry professionals, using the latest software tools and advanced fabrication and testing facilities,” said Dalgleish.

Harbor Branch Ocean-ographic Institute at Florida Atlantic Univer-sity is a research institute dedicated to exploration, innovation, conservation and education related to the oceans. Harbor Branch was founded in 1971 as a private non-profit organi-zation. In December 2007, Harbor Branch joined Florida Atlantic Univer-sity.

BOCA RATON – County Commissioner Steven L. Abrams spoke at the new Center for Business Development and Entrepreneurship at Palm Beach State Col-lege's Boca Raton campus on Aug. 18.

The center’s curricu-lum further enhances the

college’s commitment in providing learning op-portunities for future business leaders focused on economic development and growth. The com-missioner discussed the county’s programs that are designed to stimulate business growth, recruit-ment and job creation.

BOCA RATON – Town Center at Boca Raton is welcoming Tommy Ba-hama, the upscale lifestyle brand, to its collection of luxury boutiques.

The store, which was to open today, measures 3,400-sq. ft. and carries the complete Tommy Bahama collection of men’s and women’s sportswear, swim-wear, footwear and accesso-ries as well as home décor items.

A grand opening cel-ebration is scheduled for

Saturday, September 10 from noon - 4 p.m. Guests will be treated to live music and refreshments and will also have the chance to en-ter to win one of 10 $100 promotional award cards (see store for official rules) and receive a gift with pur-chase (while supplies last).

Tommy Bahama retail stores have evolved since the first one opened in

Naples, Florida, in 1996. The vintage island design, for which the brand is known, has given way to a

modern beach house style – bright, relaxed and airy.

Walls are washed in shades of neutral tones and mixed with textured iconic grass cloth wall cov-erins throughout the store. Limed-oak wood treat-ments, mixed with warm metal details help to bal-ance the form and function of new adjustable fixtures and wall cases to create flexibility for merchandis-ing the store -- a plus when highlighting specific collec-tions or categories.

Town Center features 220 prestigious and na-tionally recognized stores, including Coach, Tiffany & Co., Bvlgari, Cartier, Ulysse Nardin, Michael Kors, Williams-Sonoma, Intermix, Pottery Barn, Ann Taylor, Louis Vuitton, Origins, Juicy Couture, Go-diva Chocolatier, abercrom-bie, anne fontaine and Tory Burch, as well as leading anchor stores Bloomingda-le's, Macy*s, Neiman Mar-cus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Sears.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

The Crying Lady – A Labor Day poem

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

FAITHBy Pr. Sandy Huntsman

The lady in New York harbor stands upon her pedestal,

Crying tears the size and weight of boulders, as she

Gazes on her people from sea to shining sea.

The manifest destiny of the golden dream crum-bling around her.

It’s Labor Day, 2011.The stench of labor’s

fruit lost and labor to be lost permeates

From New York, to Mi-ami, to Chicago, Los Ange-les,

And all points in be-tween. Labor Day mocks reality, and becomes

A memory, rather than a dream.

Seeing all, as always, does not itself supply her answers to the questions:

How did this happen? Why? When did the quest for economic freedom

Turn into a rabid search for lucre? When did the

promise of liberty and jus-tice for all

Turn the rich against those less fortunate?

When did the purpose of our being, religious freedom, turn into only the freedom

To engage in one’s own religion, to the exclusion of all others?

When did it occur to the elderly that their bowl of long saved rewards of past labor

Had sprung leaks caused not by their own foolishness, but the greed of others, and the

Gross negligence of their elected representa-tives who, on this very La-bor Day,

Would rather overcome political rivals than to solve the nation’s problems?

When did it occur to the younger generations that their birthright to

Freedom, liberty, and real possibility had been

traded inFor fool’s gold by those

who came before them?Our harbor lady hopes:

Perhaps this disease is tem-porary,

That the real America would rise again on the shoulders of new leaders,

Born from the ashes of the of theses disasters.

Politicians honestly pledged to do what’s best for the country

And not just for them-selves, or a handful of nar-row minded people with loud voices,

And agenda based upon greed and not upon the na-tion’s future,

Or the future of their fellow citizens.

The sun shines upon her face, and a smile almost ap-pears. Faith, she thinks.

Faith in these good people that she was sent to celebrate. Faith and hard work, always

The key on Labor Day.

Having eyes and see-ing are often two differ-ent things. Sometimes people without the gift of sight have the great-est insight. Malcolm S. Forbes stated “the best vision is insight.” Insight is the ability to discern the true nature of a situ-ation.

“A businessman was late for an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking space. As he frantically circled the block, the man got so des-perate that he decided to pray. Looking up toward heaven, he said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking space, I’ll go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life, and not only that, I’ll give up drinking.” Mirac-ulously, a parking space appeared. The guy looked up again and said, “Never mind.

I found one.” (Submit-ted by John Beukema, Chambersburg, Pennsyl-vania; www.preachingto-day.com)

Some people go through life with their eyes closed. They look but they don’t “see.” Their obsession with sur-face things causes them to omit the deeper things. They see images but never get the issues. The evidence could be as clear as the nose on their face, but they cannot see it, be-cause they simply refuse

to see it.It reminds me of an

old Persian proverb which says: “He who knows not, and knows NOT that he knows not, is a fool; shun him. He who knows not, and KNOWS that he knows not, is a child; teach him. He who knows, and knows NOT that he knows, is asleep; wake him. He who knows, and KNOWS that he knows, is wise; follow him.”

Sight is a function of the eyes; insight a func-tion of the mind and heart

On more than one oc-casion, Scripture refers to those who “have ears and hear not and have eyes but see not.” The proph-et Jeremiah writes the same in his book (5.21) “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without un-derstanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not.” The problem isn’t always overt rebellion or stub-born resistance but many times pride and insensi-tivity. All of us are guilty of thinking we know something when we don’t and certainly misjudging someone before we have even heard the evidence. I have met many a per-son who didn’t want to be confused with the facts, because they thought they already thoroughly understood the issue.

H. G. Wells once

wrote a short story called The Country of the Blind. It’s about an inac-cessible, luxurious valley in Ecuador where, due to a strange disease, ev-eryone is blind. After 15 generations of this blind-ness there was no recol-lection of sight or color or the outside world at all. Finally a man from the outside – a man who could see –literally fell into their midst. He had fallen off a high cliff and survived, only to stumble into their forgotten coun-try. When he realized that everyone else was blind, he remembered the old adage: “In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”

Even the disciples who were followers of Jesus often didn’t understand the things he was say-ing. In Mark 6.52 it says they did not understand because their heart was “hard.” William Barclay says the word “hard” in this passage means they were “insensitive, dull, blunt-brained, obtuse.”

They were not that way by nature, but by choice!

We all must learn to open our eyes and think. We must create an at-mosphere conducive to learning. We must learn to discern....Pastor Sandy HuntsmanBoca Glades Baptist Churchwww.bocaglades.org

Thinking out of the box is very helpful in business. It can give you a different prospective and an opportunity to see things in a different light. For now, I would like to consider the unemploy-ment problem that has an affect on everybody today.

Let’s look at some of the statistics:

As of December 3, 2010 – Household Survey Data indicated that the number of unemployed persons was 15.1 million in November 2010 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statis-tics).

Today we find that American companies are increasing hiring but of-tentimes in foreign mar-kets. According to the Economic Policy Insti-tute, companies created 1.4 million jobs overseas this year but fewer than 1 million domestically. National Public Radio/The Associated Press (12/28/2010).”

In 2009, there were 24.7 million businesses in the United States, ac-cording to Office of Ad-vocacy estimates. Six million companies em-ploy personnel and about 18 million do not. Small firms with fewer than 500 employees represent 99.9 percent of the total.

Small businesses em-ploy about half of U.S. workers. Of 120.6 mil-lion non-farm private sector workers in 2007,

small firms employed 59.9 million and large firms employed 60.7 mil-lion. (Source: Commerce, Census Bureau and trends from the U.S. De-partment of Labor, Bu-reau of Labor Statistics, Business Employment Dynamics.)

One of my friends complained that her boss was giving her work that two people formerly per-formed. She said down-sizing is being used by companies to show big-ger profits. Cutting down the number of employees is being used to reduce overhead. Non-paying internship jobs are be-ing used by companies to avoid hiring full time personnel.

That’s what is hap-pening in the real world. Let’s start thinking out of the box and come up with dramatic ideas to find a solution to our country’s unemployment problem.

The government has made an attempt at pro-viding inducements to employers who hire the unemployed in the Hir-ing Incentives to Restore Employment. (HIRE), Act of March 18, 2010. But as you will see it’s not enough of an incentive for employers to make it significant in dramatical-ly reducing the numbers of unemployed.

“The HIRE act states that employers who hired unemployed workers af-

ter Feb. 3, 2010 and be-fore Jan. 1, 2011 might qualify for a 6.2- percent payroll tax incentive. In addition, for each work-er retained for at least a year, businesses may claim an additional gen-eral business tax credit, up to $1,000 per worker.” There is talk about ad-ditional employer incen-tives for new hires. Let’s see what happens!

I do not profess to have the answers but, I thought that maybe an ‘out of the box’ idea might stimulate others to tap their brain power to get businesses motivated to do new hires. Let’s tar-get the 50 percent of the 27.4 million companies and give them a reason to hire just one person. It would virtually eliminate the current unemploy-ment emergency. But you ‘gotta’ have a program that stimulates the hiring process.

The question arises, why should big and small businesses hire additional personnel with today’s economic conditions?

Let’s think what would motivate a busi-ness to do new hires?

Incentives…Incen-tives…Incentives…

Here’s my ‘out of the box’ suggestion:

Give each company that hires a new employ-ee a generous tax write off. I would suggest 50 percent tax rebate based on the new employee’s

gross salary during the first year, and an addi-tional 25 percent tax re-bate for each of the next two years. This might en-courage many employers to hire.

Of course there would have to be certain caveats. New hires must be re-tained for at least full one year to be eligible for this program. Also, if em-ployers fire current em-ployees to replace them with new hires without just cause during this period, they would lose the deductions and have to reimburse the govern-ment for any and all tax benefits they received.

Such a program may seem difficult to admin-ister at first but, all new programs are. If we can get a person to the moon we can certainly find a way to administer it.

So what would the government have to gain?

More tax money from the employees Social se-curity contributions

More money will be spent by new hires

Less unemployment payments

It would be the best ROI by the government.

What are some of your ‘out of the box’ ideas to create jobs? Send them to me or send them to your representatives in DC. Let’s eliminate un-employment and let’s do it now!

CARTER’S CORNERBy Carter Helshien

Teen LifeThe Boca Raton Tribune

Benefits of Being a Child in Today’s Economy

Though these may seem like dark times, I can’t help but see the positive aspects of be-ing a teenager and grow-ing up in a poor global economy. Though it may sound strange at first, I believe that there are some unique, distinct benefits to the genera-tion that is growing up in this poor economy.

It is my strong opin-ion that the current gen-eration of children will have a greater sense of frugality as adults than their parents, some of them baby boomers, who were raised in a period of great affluence for the United States. Through-out this article, I will re-fer to my generation, the current generation of children born between the early 1990’s and the early 2000’s, as Genera-tion Z. Due to the fact that the parents of Gen-eration Z, Generation Y, were typically raised in an environment where earning money seemed an easy task and there was plenty to go around, that generation grew up taking the value of mon-ey for granted.

As a result, as my gen-eration witnesses the dif-ficult economic times that our parents are facing

today, with millions of Americans out of work and struggling to make a living, we have come to understand seemingly-complex, yet vital skills for future success. One such skill my generation is learning through the trials and tribulations of our parents is the impor-tant skill of fiscal respon-sibility.

In contrast to Gener-ation Y, our parents, who typically spent money lavishly and without concern for the unfore-seeable future, my gener-ation will keep the lesson close to heart that the economic state of any nation can change at any given moment. Conse-quently, my generation, Generation Z, will be extremely careful with how we spend and invest our money, knowing that we will be well-prepared if the time comes where the economy takes a turn for the worse and people suddenly struggle to make a living.

Moreover, because Generation Z is being raised in a time where most families can only afford the bare essentials and perhaps minor ex-travagances, we will be more inclined to live our lives modestly and avoid

abundant spending. Ac-cordingly, as I mentioned earlier, the current gen-eration of children are being raised with a sense of fiscal responsibil-ity already ingrained into their subconscious. Whether we have real-ized it or not, Generation Z has inherently learned that money should not be taken for granted, but rather saved and spent sparingly, never wasted.

In reality, parents today who are worry-ing about not providing their children with all the gifts, trips, and vaca-tions they would like to, have nothing to worry about at all. Without even knowing it parents are giving their children the best gift they can possibly give, that of providing their children with the skills necessary in having a successful fu-ture, by demonstrating those very same skills in these difficult economic times. It is for that rea-son that in the future the members of Generation Z will thank the mem-bers of Generation Y, not only for teaching us all the values that we will base our lives around but for showing us how to have a successful, happy life.

Bebe wants a loving home for her and her family

Story, photo by Pam D’Addio

BOCA RATON -- Tri County Humane Soci-ety rescued me, my ‘boy-friend’, BEEN, and our young puppy, BAM BAM, just in time.

We are so grateful to be here and ready for the next step....into a loving home.

We’d like to stay to-gether but we’ll be ad-opted out separately if need be. (When Been and I pass each other’s cage on our way out for a walk, we always stop to ‘kiss’ each other).

Anyway, back to ME. I’m Bebe, a Labrador / shepherd mix, a 2-year-old female weighing about 50 pounds.

I’m a sweet, brown-eyed girl who can live happily with children and other dogs. I’ve traveled a rough road but I know the life I deserve is waiting for me.

Give a gal a chance?I’m available for adop-

tion at Tri-County Hu-

mane Society, a no-kill animal shelter located at 21287 Boca Rio Road in Boca Raton. The shelter is open for adoptions Tues-day through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Adoption fees for companion animals are $110 and up.

Animals are heart-worm-tested and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Included in the adop-tion fee is one year of free office visits to Regency

Veterinary Clinic.Please visit us to find a

lost pet or to consider add-ing a shelter

dog or cat to your fam-ily. We have puppies and kittens, too!

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers lost to FC Tampa Bay 2-0 on Saturday night in the Centennial Match played at Lockhart Sta-dium. Goals by FC Tampa Bay’s Aaron King and Mike Ambersley brought down the Strikers in the third of four regular season match-ups this season between the in-state rivals.

“We were beat by a better team tonight,” said Strikers head coach Daryl Shore. “We can’t make ex-cuses, it seemed like they wanted the game more and that it meant more to them. It’s quite befuddling be-cause it was a big game for us. We came out flat even though we had a good week

of practice.”In the first half, FC

Tampa Bay midfielder Tsuyoshi Yoshitake made a long run down the left side and swung across into the middle of the box. The ball was redirected by Mike Ambersley to the feet of Aaron King, who slotted it home into the lower right-hand corner past goalkeep-er Matt Glaeser.

The Strikers best chance in the first half came from forward Polo Morales in the 28th minute when he

received a ball from a running Brian Shriver and fired it on goal from point blank range. The shot was

pushed out of bounds by Tampa Bay’s Jeff Atti-

nella.FC Tampa Bay added to

their lead in the 77th min-ute. An errant back pass fell to the feet of Mike Amber-sley, who rounded Glaeser and was alone on goal. His shot inside far post finished off the match and put the Coastal Cup, the trophy for the in-state rivalry between the two squads, back in FC Tampa Bay’s hands.

The loss tonight keeps the Strikers in sixth place in the NASL, the final playoff spot. They are just three points clear of the Montre-al Impact who won tonight. With the win, FC Tampa Bay is now five points clear in third place and sit com-fortably to clinch a spot in

the NASL playoffs.The Strikers play their

DELRAY BEACH -- 2003 US Open champion Andy Roddick will headline the ATP World Tour event while tennis Hall of Famer Ivan Lendl will lead the eight-player ATP Champi-ons Tour event at the 20th annual Delray Beach In-ternational Tennis Cham-pionships next February, tournament officials have announced.

The combined ATP ten-nis event, played at the Del-ray Beach Stadium & Ten-nis Center, has been moved back one week on the ATP calendar to February 24 - March 4.

"Our 2012 field is off to a flying start with Andy and Ivan on board," said Delray Beach ITC tourna-ment director Mark Baron. "We look forward to wel-coming Andy back and seeing him play great ten-nis, and having Ivan play in

Delray Beach for the first time is something I am looking forward to. He re-defined the game."

Roddick has been the most successful American over the last decade and enjoyed a five-year run in the Top 5. The 28-year-old former

Boca Raton resident has reached the finals of five Grand Slams and in 2003 became the youngest American ever to be ranked No. 1 at the age of 21.

"I am really looking for-ward to returning to Del-ray," said Roddick, winner of 30 ATP titles and 33 US Davis Cup singles match-es - second only to John McEnroe. "I have a lot of great memories playing so close to where I grew up. You can truly feel the local support of the fans and the city for the tournament."

Lendl, the eight-time

Grand Slam champion who has lived in Florida for more than a decade, will headline an eight-player ATP Champions field that also includes fellow Grand Slam champions Mats Wilander and Pat Cash.

"I am very much look-ing forward to playing in Delray Beach in Febru-ary," said Lendl, who was inducted into the Interna-tional Tennis Hall of Fame in 2001. "I have heard many good things about the event and it will be enjoyable to play against my old rivals in front of fans who really appreciate tennis."

The Czech-turned US citizen was the world's No. 1 player for 270 weeks dur-ing his career, and he was the year-end No. 1 four times (1985-87, 1989). He played in eight consecutive US Open finals, winning the event three straight

The Miami Dolphins have to make two roster moves to get down to 80 players by Tuesday's deadline, but that didn't stop them from making a roster addition with Sunday's signing of vet-eran safety Gerald Alex-ander.

The news was actual-ly broken by Alexander himself, who tweeted the news Sunday afternoon. NFL.com and other me-dia outlets have since re-ported the signing.

In addition, the Dol-phins have waived/in-jured inside linebacker Mike Rivera. If he pass-es through waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve list, with an outright release with

an injury settlement to follow.

With the swap, the Dolphins' roster re-mains at 82 players. NFL teams must get down to 80 players on the active roster by Tuesday after-noon.Background:

After redshirting at Boise State in 2002, Al-exander played three seasons at cornerback before moving to safety as a senior in 2006. He earned All-WAC honors all four seasons, finish-ing his collegiate career with 161 tackles, nine interceptions, and 33 pass deflections in 51 games (38 starts).

Selected in the sec-ond round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the De-troit Lions, Alexander

opened all 16 games at free safety as a rookie and recorded 82 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, two intercep-tions, and seven pass de-flections.

Alexander was rel-egated to a backup role behind Daniel Bullocks in 2008, appearing in five games (one start) and recording seven tackles before suffering a fractured vertebrae in his neck and landing on injured reserve.

After the Lions trad-ed Alexander to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for wide re-ceiver Dennis Northcutt in June 2009, he played a significant role on defense with 15 games played (10 starts) at strong safety. He totaled

55 tackles, three forced fumbles, and two inter-ceptions.

The Jaguars released Alexander during final cuts in 2010, but he was re-signed in late Sep-tember due to injury. He started three games and recorded 16 tackles and three pass deflec-tions before being re-leased again on Oct. 19. The Carolina Panthers signed him to a contract in late November, but he did not record any tack-les in two games with the team.

According to Alex-ander's twitter account, he will be learning both safety positions with the Dolphins (he's started at both spots in the NFL already) and will wear No. 40.

Boca Raton, FL - The Florida Atlantic Univer-sity women's soccer team returns after a one-week break to put its undefeat-ed 2-0 record on the line in two home matches this weekend. The Owls will battle Mercer University on Friday, September 2, at 7 p.m. before facing the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Sunday, September 4, at noon. Both matches will be played at the FAU Soccer Stadium, 777 Glades Road, Boca Ra-ton campus.

FAU is off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2005 after victories over Lynn University on August 19 and Stetson University on August 21.

The team has allowed just one goal over the course of the two matches. How-ever, not wanting to rest on the squad's laurels, FAU Women's Soccer Coach Brian Dooley spent the early-season break work-ing to correct imperfec-tions in the offense and defense.

Improving the players' physical conditions was also an emphasis, as was getting the team ready for the remainder of the fall season.

"It is nice to start the season with two wins. However, there is room for improvement, and our players know that there was a slim margin in our past victories. We have to

play better, starting this weekend," said Dooley. "It took us a while to get two wins last year and the pressure we put on our-selves wore on us. So, it is good to get off to strong start this season."

Sophomore forward Jesse Shugg leads the FAU offensive attack with two goals and seven shots. The Burlington, Ontario, Can-ada native has found the back of the net in the first half of each match this season.

Fellow sophomore Brittney Nash also has been actively involved in the offense with a goal and two assists. She has contributed to both game-winning goals in the early-

season matches.Meanwhile, redshirt

junior midfielder Meghan Brown also has recorded two assists and junior for-wardAllison Griffin had the game-winning goal in the Owls' 2-1 victory over Lynn.

Junior goalkeeper Ash-ley Lantes recorded her fifth career shutout in the 2-0 victory over Stetson. Redshirt sophomore goal-keeper Courtney Zwetsch also contributed a score-less second half in the tri-umph over Lynn.

Friday night's match will showcase two un-defeated teams. Mercer stands 3-0 on the season and has yet to allow a goal in victories over Jack-

sonville State University, Georgia Southern Uni-versity and Georgia State University. The Bears are members of the Atlantic Sun Conference, which once featured FAU. The Owls are 1-0 against At-lantic Sun teams after de-feating Stetson.

"Mercer will offer our stiffest match yet this sea-son," said Dooley. "They have three impressive wins so far. They are a team that likes to keep possession and develop scoring oppor-tunities from those posses-sions. We have not played Mercer since we moved to the Sun Belt Conference."

Sunday's opponent, UMKC, will be the first meeting between the two

NCAA Division I teams. The Kangaroos enter the weekend with a 0-1-2 re-cord and have scored one goal by Taylor Bare.

"The new coach has added a lot of enthusiasm to the UMKC program," said Dooley. "Since this is our first meeting we don't know a lot of what they like to do. They have played better than their re-cord, and will be a danger-ous opponent after coming off a challenging Friday night match. That's why we have worked so hard on physical conditioning dur-ing the past two weeks. We have to be ready to accept the challenge, mentally and physically."
