2012 OPAL Award Winners Announced

(BOCA RATON, FLORIDA) On Wednes-day, September 21st, the co-CEOs of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun Capi-tal Partners”), Marc Leder and Rodger Krouse, and senior management from Sun Capital

Partners presented a check for $50,000 to Boca Helping Hands. This is the second major donation that Sun Capital Partners has made to support Boca Helping Hands’ efforts to fight hunger and poverty in South Florida, bringing their total two-year con-tribution to $150,000. The check presentation took place at 11:45 A.M., dur-ing the daily lunch service. In addition to 100+ guests

enjoying lunch, repre-sentatives from the Boca Helping Hands Board of Directors, staff and volun-teers from Boca Helping Hands were in attendance. In the last year, Boca Help-ing Hands has increased the number of hot meals served each month from 2,200 to nearly 4,000, while increasing the num-ber of pantry bags distrib-uted each month from 500 to 1,700.

Boca Helping Hands Executive Director James S. Gavrilos comments: “Our collaboration with Sun Capital Partners is a model for all interaction between the corporate and non-profit worlds. Their commitment to ease pov-

erty and hunger in our community is inspiring. Not only has Sun Capital committed its corporate resources…but their em-ployees have organized food drives and volun-teered their time at Boca Helping Hands, working in the soup kitchen or fill-ing up pantry bags in the warehouse. This type of corporate responsibility is exactly what America needs during these trying times.”

Sun Capital Partners, Inc. is a leading private in-vestment firm focused on leveraged buyouts, equity, debt, and other invest-ments in market-leading companies that can benefit from its in-house operating

professionals and experi-ence. Sun Capital affiliates have invested in more than 270 companies worldwide with combined sales in ex-cess of $40 billion since Sun Capital’s inception in 1995. Sun Capital has of-fices in Boca Raton, Los Angeles, and New York, as well as affiliates with offices in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Gavrilos adds: “It is so important for our daily lunch guests to witness these presentations. They need to know that they are not alone. Our guests have an opportunity to show their appreciation for those who give Boca Help-ing Hands the resources to

provide those meals and pantry bags. It is a pow-erful moment when those struggling come together with those trying to help. Our message is simple: Together, we can and will

get through these trying times.”

The Boca Raton Tribune COMMUNITY NEWS East/West Boca Raton, FL

WEST PALM BEACH – Ann and Richard Som-mer and Nancy and Ellis Jay Parker III are co-chair-ing the 2011 Membership Brunch of Israel Cancer As-sociation USA (ICA USA).

The annual event will be held Sunday, Decem-ber 11at the Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach. The guest speaker, J. Scott Carpenter, brings many years of ex-perience as a Middle East expert to his topic of “Is-

rael: An Asset at a Time of Revolutionary Change in the Mid-East”.

Carpenter is prin-cipal at Google Ideas, Google’s new “think/do” tank, where he focuses on bringing technology to bear on countering vio-lent extremism and con-solidating democracy in the Arab world. He is also an adjunct scholar at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

As the Institute's Kes-ton Family fellow from 2007-2011, Scott was the founding director of Proj-ect Fikra, which focuses on empowering Arab demo-crats in their struggle against authoritarianism and extremism. From 2004-2007, Scott served as deputy assistant secre-tary of state in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, overseeing the Middle East Partnership Initiative

(MEPI).In 2006, he was also

named coordinator for the State Department's Broad-er Middle East and North Africa Initiatives.

Scott has an M.S. in economics and European studies from Johns Hop-kins University's School of Advanced International Studies, is married and has two sons.

The Israel Cancer As-sociation continues to lead

the way in groundbreaking cancer research by Israel’s extraordinary scientists. But because ICA receives no government funding, it must rely on private donations to support the fellowships presented to these brilliant scientists. For more information about the 2011 ICA USA Membership Brunch, con-tact Jill Cooper at Israel Cancer Association USA, (561) 832-9277.

Quantum house hosts South Florida Base Inaugural Kap(SS) 4 Kid(SS) VisitationOn Friday, July 29th

members of the South Florida Base were most graciously welcomed by Jessica Reeves, Outreach Coordinator of the Quan-tum House, for the inaugu-ral visit of their Kap(SS) 4 Kid(SS) program. Quan-tum House is located in West Palm Beach, Flor-ida on the grounds of St. Mary’s Medical Center (non-affiliated) and per-forms functions similar to that of the Ronald Mc-

Donald House.The South Florida

Base members participat-ing in the activities were Bill Andrea, Mavae An-drea, Larry Harjehausen, George Hoyt, Steve Laine

and Keith Reynolds.Our meeting with the

eleven children present (ranging in ages from 50 to 10 years old) was friendly and rewarding. The young folks, their parents and grandparents were very curious as to our views and lives aboard submarines.

During the nearly two hours spent with the youngsters, each child was made an “Honorary Sub-mariner” and was present-ed with a signed Honorary

Submariner Certificate. Additionally, they were presented with a special Kap of their choosing.

Four youngsters who were unable to participate in our program because of

medical procedures they needed that day were cer-tainly missed. Certificates and Kaps were left for the m (with the Coordinator Jessica) along with our hopes and good wishes.

Three events occurred during the gathering that was quite impressive. One young many who was con-fined to a wheelchair ap-peared to be withdrawn and sullen. We learned through Quantum House personnel that this was his

general over all mood since his arrival. Larry took him aside and they spend some time talk-ing. Soon we no-ticed the young many was smil-ing and yes, even laughing. What ever Larry did or said remains unknown but to see the outcome brought joy to all of us.

Another no-table instance was when

George Hoyt was asked by on the children how he got his nickname (Pumpkin Pie). The answer brought the house down.

The third event oc-curred early-on. When

entering the room, a youngster about 9 years of age, came in humming the song “Yellow Subma-rine.” Keith hurried to his “magic bag” and pulled-out the Beatles rendi-tion and placed it in the CD Rom. She heard the tune play-ing, her eyes beamed with delight and in-stantly we had another happy honorary sub-mariner.

Soon our in-augural visit ended. We were thanked by the staff and the

parents. One staff mem-ber expressed the thought that the therapy the chil-dren received by this visit was visible and appreciat-

ed. Although I didn’t reply to her remark, I thought, “Who really received the therapy??”

Oh, the weather out-side is frightful. Yeah, frightfully hot and humid.

I’ve noticed that weather like this seems to impact everyone except marketing people.

It may be 90 degrees outside, but someone with marketing savvy is think-ing it’s time to carve your Jack O’Lantern, cook your Thanksgiving turkey, whip up some Hanukkah goodies, trim your Christ-mas tree and make plans for New Year’s Eve.

Yes, if you haven’t no-ticed by now, the stores are already filled with holiday merchandise – from dollar outlets to the big department stores. It’s barely October, but you can find everything from fake pumpkins to jingle bells at your neigh-borhood shops.

It seems that retailers, aware of the weak dol-lar, high unemployment rate and general malaise about running up big tal-lies on credit cards, has hit potential shoppers with holiday ideas when they least expect it, hop-ing to cash in before the shoppers run out of cash.

This seems to be a trend that began at least

a decade ago – or more. Someone looking to move a large inventory of holi-day paraphernalia was sitting around saying, “Why do I have to wait until the end of Novem-ber to unload this stuff ? Why don’t I just put it on the shelves around…oh, maybe July?”

Each year, this holiday infiltration begins with a trickle during the dog days of summer.

When the sale of hot weather items begins to wind down, things like plastic haunted house signs, witches-on-broom-sticks-patterned pillows, orange and black toys and things like that begin to show up.

I remember seeing a stuffed witch toy in a store about a month ago. And that was weird, I thought, since it was a dog toy. As far as I know – and I will check with him on this – my dog has no awareness of holidays.

Well, it didn’t end there. By Labor Day, even big stores like Costco had holiday displays galore. Just this past weekend, my wife and I went to the local Costco and saw lighted trees, decorative

snowmen and other holi-day finery. It reminded me of someone I recently heard on the radio who admitted that he went to Costco to get something totally unrelated to the holidays. He said he was so enamored with the festive decorations that he ended up buying two boxes of holiday cards.

I imagine that’s what the store owners want us to do. Start shopping now – don’t wait.

Whatever you’re look-ing for may not be here tomorrow.

Even the dollar stores are catering to the up-coming holidays. You walk in, only to wade through the plastic pumpkins and witch sil-houettes before you reach the red stockings and the $1-a-box Christmas cards. Of course, stores are also selling Hanuk-kah items and I think I saw New Year’s cards in at least one store.

By now, you probably expect me to blame this on living in Florida, then tell you how much better it was in New England which has something un-known in the Sunshine State – seasons. No, the

early appearance of holi-day items is a national trend that has brought us other shop-shop-shop enticements like Black Friday, 24-hour holi-day shopping and people waiting in long lines to get into Wal-Mart or Target at 2 a.m. (Actual-ly, somewhere in the back of my mind is a memory of going into Kmart on Thanksgiving Day – and it was open. And that goes back to the days when I lived up north.)

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about the early appear-ance of holiday items in stores. It actually helps me to get into the sea-sonal mood. And appar-ently, this is proliferating. There is, for example, at least one person who lives in this same development who already has a plastic pumpkin on his lawn that says Happy Halloween.

I guess I won’t really get into the spirit until radio stations begin play-ing Christmas carols 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I expect that to start a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving.

‘Tis the season, you know!

It’s beginning to look a lot like – everything!

Dear Dale,Thank you for the wonderful review of “Chicago.”Right now, we are looking for anyone willing to do-

nate a working video camera (old or new) to the Play-house for our use in the upcoming production of “Little Shop of Horrors”. If anyone can lend a hand in this area, please reply.

Thanks!Theresa LoucksLake Worth [email protected]

The Boca Raton Tribune EDITORIALS & LETTERS East/West Boca Raton, FL

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.POSITIVE LIVING

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having

received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

Most people are eager to get somewhere. But their own actions often betray their intentions, for they become guardians of the status quo. Others make no careful plans to move ahead and, as a result, also go nowhere. And one also finds those who take a bold step to move forward but soon retreat, the moment any obstacle presents itself in their path.

Living life to the full-est requires risks, constant risks. Years ago I was re-minded of the obvious: even a turtle will not move for-ward unless it sticks its neck out. But fear, shyness and other related factors, keep many humans from making necessary progress.

On the other hand, a large segment of the hu-man species is so stuck in the rat race that many for-get that one is to soar like eagles. No matter how far anyone has come in life, there remain new heights to climb, new goals to reach, new experiences to enjoy! No accomplishment, as significant as it may ever be, should be con-

cluded with a period, thus denoting that it is the end. Each achievement, instead, should be followed by a comma to indicate there is more to come; the time of new pursuits, new discov-eries, new inventions, new theories which can benefit the human race, is far from over, and one needs to live with that understanding always in view.

Surely, humans have the inbuilt drive toward progress, and no today is of any significance unless it is a mere step in moving toward tomorrow, while maintaining continuity. Obviously, many things in life are fixed and should not be altered. But there is much that is also experi-mental and, therefore, can be changed, improved, or even discarded.

Not to be forgotten, however, is that all human steps toward tomorrow need not mean a total cut from yesterday. A major, old problem, especially in the field of philosophy, is the tendency of discard-ing tradition. In fact, it is often obvious how modern

philosophy maintains “a concerted rejection of tra-dition,” as a contemporary writer has put it.

All major advances, be they in personal, human experience, or through new developments of sci-ence and technology, as well as in any other field of endeavour, necessitate the steps previously taken in those enterprises, in or-der to move beyond! What is old is not necessarily bad, just as what is new is not necessarily superior. Arthur Koestler, with a keen sense of humour, had referred to those who are prone to re-ject the past as “men born without umbilical cords.”

While not rejecting the past just because it is old, it’s imperative that the things of yesterday will never become distractions in one’s daily effort to move ahead toward a new tomor-row. What is new at any age may be renewed continu-ally so as to make a positive difference to new times in the calendar into which one advances. Only what turns sour or rotten, needs to go, the sooner the better!

Moving Toward TomorrowBy Douglas Heizer

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

Among the big news items in Boca Raton this past year has been the con-struction and imminent opening of the first on-campus football stadium at Florida Atlantic University.

There’s been a lot of rev-eling on the Boca turf about this historic event that will bring college football into the city -- into perhaps the largest university-level sta-dium located between Mi-ami and Orlando.

During a recent sta-dium tour, the Boca Raton Tribune staff learned a lot about the sports venue – and how the 30,000 seat sta-dium could be turned into a 60,000-seat location by sim-ply enclosing the ends of the stands.

We were very impressed with the facility. But during the trip, I thought of some-thing that was even more impressive. This isn’t just a stadium for FAU. It is a sta-dium for everyone in Boca Raton.

In other words, this is “our” stadium. It’s not just a place for a university to play football. We were told that only five home football games will take place there this season. That gives the university the OK to hold 10 more outdoor events.

So, it’s likely the FAU stadium will become a loca-tion for performances and concerts.

Inside the facility are rooms that will accommo-date weddings, wedding receptions, bar and bat mitzvahs and all types of

gatherings, from class re-unions to graduation par-ties.

Special kitchens will pre-pare meals for revelers who join together at the stadium when the FAU Fighting Owls are not on the grid-iron.

Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to chow down while the Owls are grinding up and down the 100-yard playing area. There are plenty of conces-sion stands as well as food service in the special boxes up above the action. There’s even a restaurant-type area in the press box.

Let’s not forget that a lot of people – including indi-viduals and local agencies – have already stepped up as the stadium’s opening day gets closer.

The Schmidt Family Foundation donated $2 mil-lion for construction of the $70 million facility. Subway also has a deal – and that sub sandwich firm already has a sign on the Jumbotron.

Speaking of naming rights, Delray Acura and Delray Hyundai recently signed on as corporate sponsors of the new FAU stadium. The nine-year, $800,000 contract gives the family owned and operated dealerships naming rights to the stadium's Premier Club and Priority Club seat-ing areas, which are to be known as the Delray Acura Club Suites and the Delray Hyundai Club.

The stadium itself has no specific name yet. But

there are several people who might qualify. There would certainly be a lot of local pride in naming the arena Howard Schnellen-berger Stadium in honor of the legendary football coach who came to FAU more than a decade ago, and kicked off the university’s first football team in 1999.

No doubt there has been thought to naming the stadium after Henrietta, Countess de Hoernle, who has donated to so many or-ganizations, including FAU.

You could even name it after Frank Brogan, who was FAU president at the time the stadium idea was first coming to fruition. He is now chancellor of the en-tire state university system, so the honor would not go unnoticed.

Who knows, maybe it could even be named the Boca Raton Tribune Stadium.

Whatever it is called, the real name of the stadium – as I said before – is “ours.” It will have an impact on everyone in Boca. The city has been closely involved in its creation. The state and county, too, with plans on the table to build a new I-95 entrance/exit to filter traffic from

Glades Road to the rear of the campus on Spanish River Road.

An open house will be held at the stadium Oct. 14, a day before the Owls take on Western Kentucky in the first-ever, Boca-based foot-ball game. Don’t forget to visit “our” stadium

For more than 10 years, the Palm Beach County Criminal Justice Commis-sion’s (CJC) Weed and Seed program has been sponsor-ing a countywide summer camp, Drug Education for Youth (DEFY).

This year’s week-long camp for children ages 9 to 12 was held in August at the Club Managers Association of America Therapeutic

Recreation Complex in Lake Worth.

The program included a parental involvement ses-sion facilitated by Planned Parenthood of Palm Beach County that offered parents key ways to stay involved in

their children’s lives.Weed and Seed staff

coordinated camp activities that were held in Delray Beach, Belle Glade, West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach and Gramercy Park. Delray Beach Police Department Weed and Seed Coordina-tor Cerina Anderson and CJC Program Development Specialist Rosalind Mur-ray served as co-directors of the camp. It culminated in a graduation ceremony on Aug. 13 recognizing 65 graduates from throughout the county.

DEFY began in 1993 as a youth outreach program developed by the U.S. De-

partment of Navy’s Drug Demand Reduction Task Force.

Staff serves as military role models in promoting positive life choices to re-duce the demand for illegal drugs.

The program be-gins with a five-day sum-mer camp, followed by 10 months of mentoring that includes taking the children to special events. Teaching the importance of educa-tion, health, physical fitness and citizenship combats the temptations and peer pres-sure associated with drugs and gangs.

Instead of dealing with

these problems after they have ruined lives, DEFY employs less costly, preven-tive measures to instill a strong anti-drug foundation in young participants. Law enforcement officers from Delray Beach, West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach teach the classes and serve as mentors.

The U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney’s Office partner to make the DEFY program a reality. Local partners include the CJC and Weed and Seed, Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation, the Palm Beach County Police Ath-letic League, and the Delray

BOCA RATON – A grassroots effort to help less fortunate youth began at Olympic Heights High School in Boca Raton with a young boy’s idea, and has continued to grow because of his tenacity and sense of social responsibility as a young man.

For the past seven years Luke Barron has been helping children that are less fortunate in the com-munity. Friends4kids, the organization he created, has evolved and expanded with friends telling friends.

Each year, Luke’s group fundraises and distributes more than 600 toys and hundreds of new books to various Palm Beach Coun-ty organizations.

This year, the 2011 Friends4kids has already donated new books to Florence Fuller Library, Boynton Beach Charter School, Wayne Barton Study Center and DOT Success Program.

The DOT Success Pro-gram recognized Luke’s philanthropic spirit and has appointed him to the Teen Committee charged with improving literacy in the community.

2011-2012 is the year to create awareness in the community regarding lit-eracy,” Barron indicated. “We want to help supply several schools in our area with new books.”

Based on his experi-ence, Luke stated that: “You may have given a needy child an entirely dif-ferent view of the world by providing them kind-ness when they needed it, sometimes all it takes is a smile and it can have a pro-found effect”.

“We are strangers com-ing into their lives for one day but that one act of kindness may have an ev-erlasting effect, we’ll nev-er know but we can only hope”.

“It’s not about me; this

Student from Olympic Heights wants to help the less fortunate

Luke Barronis truly an effort that takes lots of people to make it happen”.

This initiative is in line with the district key result of proficiency in reading for all students of each ra-cial/ethnic group as mea-sured by FCAT and FCAT Writes.

The organization is currently looking for do-nations of new toys for children ages 3-6 year-olds. Or, if you wish to join the group, visit: www.friends4kids-operationho-bo.com and email [email protected].

This past Sunday, the in-augural “Downtown Open Market” of the season fea-tured items such as vintage clothing and accessories, natural bath and body good-ies, handmade indie crafts, specialty pet items, hand-made & vintage jewelry, art, baked goods and more.

Boca's “Downtown Open Market” is being held at the Monument Piazza at Royal Palm Place once a month on Sunday (ex-cept November 2011) from 10am-4pm.

Among our most inter-esting “finds” was a booth named “Enticing TidBits”, the creative brains behind this cottage industry be-ing local residents Kim and Deonna. As they explain it,

“Many of the items we use for our purses and hand-bag collections come from humble beginnings.

Fabrics used are mainly those found as fabric sam-ples in Interior Design/Decorator showrooms and furniture stores. Then there are the “tidbits”, which are many of the trimmings, beaded edging and tassels used to coordi-nate when picking out your sofa fabric and matching pillow trims.” Some of the more unusual items they use are “found” objects…old collections of but-tons, closures, glass beads, old necklaces, etc. When viewed as baubles, bangles and beads, these great finds become “treasures”.

It is easy to see from the quality and workmanship in their pieces that these designs are truly a labor of love. In addition to a beau-tiful array of purses, hand and tote bags, they also of-fer matching accessories for pets. Just imagine going out with your dog adorned

with a beautifully trimmed silk bandanna that coor-dinates perfectly with the stunning handbag you are carrying. The selection of these coordinating pieces is quite extensive, and we couldn’t resist a damask and animal print bandanna that had a matching bag with a gold chain handle. Our purchases also includ-ed a beautiful creamy ivory

and gold shell print tote bag. Definitely on the shop-ping list for next month are some silk and embroidered purses that will be perfect for use as evening bags for all the parties and events coming up...and definitely some more of those fabu-lous doggie bandannas. At these prices, we can actual-ly afford to indulge our love of beautiful things.

The schedule for this season is: September 25th, October 23rd, December 4th, January 15th, February 5th, March 4th, April 22nd and May 20th. The mar-ket offers free admission and parking, is pet-friendly, and is located at the Royal Palm Place Monument Pi-azza (Corner of S. Federal Hwy & S.E. Mizner Blvd. - same location as the Boca Raton Green Market held on Saturdays from October through May).

Support your local art-ists, crafters, independent designers, musicians, vin-tage and antique dealers, restaurants and unique lo-cal businesses. Remember to Look Local…Shop Lo-cal… Love Local!

It’s pay-up time for mo-torists who fail to stop at red traffic lights on certain county-owned thorough-fares.

The grace period for red-light runners caught on cameras that were acti-vated on July 25 ended Fri-

day, Sept. 24.The fine for running

a red light is $158. If not paid within 30 days, it goes up to $264. Citations are is-sued by mail and no points are assessed.

A private company, American Traffic Solutions

(ATS), installs, maintains and monitors the traffic cameras at no cost to tax-payers.

The cameras shoot pho-tos and video 24 hours a day of every vehicle that goes through a red light.

Currently, red-light

cameras are operational at the following county inter-sections:

East-west Lantana Road at Jog Road East-west Palmetto Park Road at Powerline Road South-bound Powerline Road at Palmetto Park Road

These are the first camera-monitored inter-sections in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Oth-ers that will soon have ac-tive cameras include:

East-west Atlantic Av-enue at Jog Road East-west Hypoluxo Road at Military

Trail Westbound Lake Worth Road at Military Trail

Motorists are also re-minded there will be no further grace periods.

Fines will be issued im-mediately once a new red-light camera is activated.

BOCA RATON -- State Representative Bill Hager (R-Boca Raton) was recent-ly honored as the Ameri-can Cancer Society’s 2011 Freshman of the Year in the Florida House of Represen-tatives.

Hager, who was elected to his first term last fall, is being recognized for his suc-cessful efforts to give school boards the authority to ban smoking on school grounds.

Hager expressed appre-ciation for the honor, saying, “Exposure to toxins in sec-ond hand smoke can cause serious health issues such as asthma, cancer and heart dis-ease, and that exposure can be prevented.”

Given that tobacco use accounts for nearly one-third of all cancer deaths Repre-sentative Hager chose to file legislation to grant statutory authority to school boards to

address smoking on campus. “I am humbled by this recog-nition and award,” said Hag-er. “But I can accept it only as a proxy on behalf of all the outstanding volunteers and others who labor tirelessly on a daily basis to stamp out all forms of cancer.”

“Representative Hager has had an immediate impact on the war on cancer,” said Paul Hull, the Florida Divi-sion’s Vice President for Ad-

vocacy and Public Policy. “He recognized a shortcoming in state law that left Florida’s kids at significant public health risk, and he met the is-sue head on. He clearly stood out to us among the House Freshman class this year.”

The Award was present-ed at the American Cancer Society’s Annual Relay for Life Summit attended by nearly 1,000 American Can-cer Society volunteers.

BOCA RATON – It took some two hours Mon-day night for the Boca Ra-ton City Council to increase the city’s tax rate 13 cents per $1,000 valuation for the 2011-2012 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.

The vote at the end of the lengthy financial session was 3-2, with Deputy May-or Susan Haynie and Coun-cilwoman Constance Scott casting “nay” votes. Voting for the budget were Mayor Susan Whelchel and Coun-cilmen Anthony Majhess and Mike Mullaugh.

City Manager Leif Ahn-ell, who proposed and sup-ported the increase in the financial levy from $3.02 to $3.15 per $1,000 valuation, said Boca’s tax rate “has been stable for 40 years. I don’t think it’s going to change. There are econom-ic cycles and swings.”

Haynie and Scott battled to keep the rate at $3.02. The latter hung tight to her proposal to use some $2.4 million in reserve funds to plug the “gap” between rev-enue and expenses. She said that money would be re-turned to the reserve fund over time.

Scott also suggested ei-ther leasing or selling the city-owned golf course on Glades Road. Whelchel, Majhess and Mullaugh nixed that plan, but did say they would consider reviewing the possibility of leasing city property at a future time as a revenue-raising measure.

Most council members also endorsed Haynie’s sug-gestion to hold a “financial summit” to address budget problems expected in com-ing years. Ahnell said the city budget situation will

be worse next year and he warned of an increasing gap between revenue and expens-es that must be addressed.

Haynie said the financial summit might be the place to consider this problem. "We need to look very long and hard at some of these historic deficits we've been carrying," she said. "Even with this grim financial fu-ture, we do have some op-portunities."

The budget for the com-ing fiscal year includes the same level of services that the city funded in 2010-2011. In addition to rais-ing the tax rate, the council also hiked the fire services fee from $60 to $80 per year. There was also small increase in the rubbish fee

Due to a lack of financ-ing, the city manager said, there are no new programs in the budget. The spend-

ing package includes $1.9 million for ball fields at Countess de Hoernle Park, but that money is coming from the Greater Boca Ra-ton Beach & Parks District.

In response to those who complain that the city’s tax rate has soared, Ahnell pointed out that the city of Boca Raton gets only 17 cents of every tax dollar collected. “The rest goes to other taxing authorities” such as the county, school district and water district.

Under the property tax rate of $3.15 per $1,000 in property value, the owner of a home assessed at $350,000 who took the $50,000 home-stead exemption would pay about $945 in city property taxes, an increase of about $39 over last year. A home assessed at $350,000 last year likely would pay only about $4 more this year un-

der the new rate because of declining property values, Ahnell said.

During budget discus-sion, Scott was adamant about tapping city reserves. The city was able to accrue some $20 million in re-serves during better finan-cial times. But she noted that “it’s taxpayer money.”

“Did we put that money in reserves because Boca wanted to have a nice fat bank account?" Scott asked. "Let’s use this money to get the people through these tough economic times. I think we're in an economic emergency. We’re in a rainy day."

Ahnell noted that the city’s reserves “are just for emergencies.

We have hurricane re-serves, debt service reserves and pension reserves.”

If the city were to take money from these accounts,

next year’s budget would start out “in a hole” to make up for what was removed.

Scott did get backing from Haynie on her pro-posal to sell or lease the city golf course on Glades Road. “Golf is a losing proposi-tion,” she said, focusing her comments only on the golf course on Glades.

Ahnell said the Glades Road course – which is ac-tually two courses, a 9-hole executive and 18-hole championship – “is not los-ing money.”

He said there was a drop in revenue this past year be-cause of repair work done on the greens.

Mayor Whelchel said she was “not in favor of sell-ing or leasing” city property, “and we can’t do it tonight. I’m all right with future discussions. But it has to be properly evaluated.”

Estranged husband facing first-degree murder charge in death of West Boca woman

BOCA RATON – A man now being held in the Broward County jail will face a charge of first-de-gree murder in connection with the death of his es-tranged wife in West Boca Raton nearly two weeks ago.

The Palm Beach Coun-ty Sheriff ’s Office notified the Boca Raton Tribune that it has placed a hold on Broward County Jail inmate Robert Kovacs for the first degree murder of Bozena Lillian Kovacs.

PBSO said the suspect is still incarcerated in Bro-ward County on an unre-lated charge while waiting to be transferred to the Palm Beach County Jail

and arraignment on the murder charge.

The Palm Beach Sher-iff ’s Office had confirmed that Kovacs was consid-ered a ‘person of interest’ in the shooting death of 49-year-old Bozena Lillian Kovacs, whose body was found in the family’s rent-ed home in the Coral Bay community in Boca Chase west of Boca Raton.

PBSO said that on Sept. 20, Kovacs was arrested by Fort Lauderdale Police and the South Florida U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force on a misdemeanor warrant for Violation of Pretrial Release/No Con-tact Order.

Kovacs, 44, was arrest-

ed at a Pollo Tropical res-taurant on Federal High-way near Southeast 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale between 5 and 6 p.m. on Sept. 20, officials said. In-vestigators said they re-ceived a tip that he was staying at a local hotel.z

PBSO said that mar-shals had been tracking Kovacs through the week-end and received informa-tion about the hotel on Sunday when the surveil-lance started, he said.

Investigators said Bozena Kovacs died of a single gunshot to her head. Palm Beach County Sher-iff's Office spokesman Eric Davis said her 21-year- old daughter discovered her

mother's body the morn-ing of August 15 in the bedroom of their home in the 18000 block of Clear Brook Circle.

Bozena Kovacs' daugh-ter had gone out with friends about 8 p.m. on Thursday. When she re-turned home between 1:30 and 1:45 a.m. she found the garage door open. Her stepfather's black Cadillac was missing, Davis said.

Reports say Bozena Ko-vacs and her two grown children moved into the home in the Coral Bay community in Boca Chase about three weeks ago.

Her husband followed last week, according to reports.

The School Board of Palm Beach County has launched a search for a new superintendent of schools and is conducting a series of meetings to gather community input.

Florida School Boards Association Executive Di-rector Wayne Blanton is conducting the search.

A series of six com-munity input meetings are being held in six high schools throughout the district between October 3 and October 11, 2011. Invitations and fliers con-taining the dates, times and locations are going out to all employees, par-ents, students, volunteers, partners and community groups and members.

The sessions are expect-

ed to run from 6 to 8 p.mThe schedule is:

October 3 – Palm Beach Gardens HighOctober 4 – Atlantic HighOctober 5 – Lake Worth HighOctober 6.– Glades Central HighOctober 10 – Palm Beach Central HighOctober 11 – Park Vista High

Board Chairman Frank Barbieri is also conducting a ParentLink call out to all parents of school district students personally invit-ing them to the meetings to give their ideas and sug-gestions about the next su-perintendent.

Principals in each of the six high schools will also call the parents of

their students.A banner on the district

web site www.palmbeach-schools.org links readers to a special superintendent search website that con-tains a community survey and other detailed informa-tion, including Spanish and Creole translations, about the search process. Addi-tional information, includ-ing Superintendent qualifi-cations, will be added to the site in the coming days.

“There is a lot of parent and community involve-ment and interest in our schools, district and School Board, and we are working hard to make sure every stakeholder has an oppor-tunity to participate in this important personnel deci-sion,” said Chairman Frank

Public input sought in superintendent search

Schools SuperintendentBill Malone

The Countess with YMCA CEO Richard Pollock and pre-school children.

BOCA RATON – With songs, smiles and, of course, cake, the Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton recently hon-ored Henrietta, Countess de Hoernle, on the occa-sion of her 99th birthday.

Greeted by staff mem-bers and pre-school kids, the Countess smiled as they presented her with

give, then adjourned to a conference room to en-joy cake. All in the room joined the 4-year-olds as they sang, “Happy Birth-day.”

The Countess is an honorary trustee at the Y and has been a board mem-ber for more than 16 years!

YMCA Chief Execu-tive Officer Richard Pol-

lock said the “YMCA has been privileged to have the relationship” it has had with the Countess.

He noted that her con-tributions “helped to build the Countess de Hoernle Child Development Center and the Countess de Ho-ernle Youth Center at the Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton.”

BOCA RATON – Most people are happy if their birthday parties end with a bang.

For Henrietta, Count-ess de Hoernle, a special 99th birthday celebration and dedication of statues of her and her late hus-band in Mizner Park Sat-urday afternoon concluded with the crashing thunder and vivid lightning of a fierce storm.

Luckily, the Countess, performers on hand for a special birthday show and

city officials were safe on the stage of the Count Adolph de Hoernle Am-phitheater – one of more than 40 buildings the de Hoernle’s have supported with generous donations.

The event combined the birthday party with the dedication of two bronze statues created by re-nowned local artist Yaacov Heller. After a welcome, sponsor recognition and appearances by ventrilo-quist

When the drape dropped, the crowd ap-plauded vigorously as the

Countess looked on with pride. She was surrounded in an adjoining alcove by Mayor Susan Whelchel, Deputy Mayor Susan Haynie, Councilwoman Constance Scott, her daughter and son-in-law.

In a speech honor-ing the Countess, Mayor

Whelchel said that “her generosity will live on and on, to the next genera-tion.”

The mayor cited the Countess’ “gift of love and hard work.” Picking a quote from a column by Skip Sheffield in last week’s special Countess birthday

edition of the Boca Raton Tribune, Whelchel said the Countess “is the closest thing to royalty” in Boca Raton.

“She has given food, clothing and education to thousands,” the mayor added. “Without her gen-erosity, Boca would not be

what it is today.”And looking at the

Countess, the mayor said, “We love you – and all the people in the city love you.”

Taking time to ac-knowledge the moment, the Countess repeated her famous motto: Give

“I have another motto today,” the grand lady of Boca said. “Give your country your talent. Char-ity begins at home. If the politicians lived like this, we would not be in the mess we are in.”

She urged those with no material things to vol-unteer. “It doesn’t cost anything,” she said. “You give of yourself.”

Looking over the crowd as the skies got a little darker, the Countess said, “I am overwhelmed and very humbled” by the event.

Other performers in the show honoring the Count-ess included the Children’s Museum Kids Chorale, Ken-dra Fulmer, Brett Loewen-stern and the Countess de Hoernle Singers.

FOOD REVIEWBy Marc Kent


“Cloud 9” Opens Theater Season at FAU

Carmen’s Premier Res-taurant atop the water-front Bridge Hotel at 999 East Camino Real in Boca Raton (561-368-9500) of-fers fine dining Thurs-day, Friday and Saturday nights and a superb Sun-day brunch.

Executive Chef Dudley Rich and his dedicated staff have honed their menus to present outstanding selec-tions of starters/ small plates, house specialties, entrees and desserts.

The featured shrimp chowder is smooth and not heavy with a slight “kick” that’s most tasty while this day’s soup du jour was a deep flavored split pea with fine ham pieces – light on the palate, though.

Carmen’s house salad with walnuts, dried cran-berries and goat cheese with a dressing that really enhanced the ingredients – great! The untraditional Caesar was very light – we prefer a more robust dress-ing but it’s just our prefer-ence. Anchovies are yours for the asking – Do you indulge?

The eggplant and goat cheese ravioli were pure pillows of flavor with their thyme cream sauce while the plump sea scallops with a soft bacon wrap-ping were sweet treats in a delicious celery root, apple puree – a favorite. Two dips are listed, a smoked trout and avocado version – quite smooth and sweet with a dusting of bacon bits and served with pita points. Then, a warm crab, artichoke and spinach dip with crusty French bread,

full flavored and filling. We did not sample their seared ahi tostada nor the shrimp cocktail but did try the shrimp’s peppered vod-ka cocktail sauce – it has character and a real bite!

Signature Chef ’s flat-breads are offered- vari-ous taste combinations to tempt one and all.

Carmen’s source of natural, grain fed beef is Harris Ranch certified beef from a supplier of almost 40 years – the best available. We chose the king of steaks, the bone-in, 16 oz rib eye, ordered and served medium rare and found it to be perfect – we sampled Chef ’s signa-ture port wine and shallot reduction along with his dried cherry demi glaze, then the roasted garlic and rosemary jus. Each of these was delicious with our rib-eye- seek out your own favorite. We also had the 14 oz veal chop – very tender and most flavorful when ordered medium.

Sides of sautéed wild mushrooms and truffle butter were tasted with the meats – there were carrots, string beans and creamy mashed potatoes served as well.

We note that a 8 oz charbroiled filet mignon is available – that we’ll try another evening.

Carmen’s has seven entrees on menu – a pep-percorn crusted swordfish with morel sauce and diced vegetables, a mustard crusted fillet of salmon with an asparagus “raft” and tomato basil fondue, roasted chicken breast

Provencal with basil po-lenta and glazed carrots, jumbo lump crab cakes with whole grain mus-tard beurre blanc – and grilled jumbo shrimp with lemon rice and a cilantro mint pesto. The two we tasted were medium rare grilled minted lamb chops with a great sweet pea and mint risotto and then the tempura snapper with stir-fried vegetables and a tangy/sweet chili sauce. Both dishes a delight!

This day’s special des-serts from Chef Dudley, included a pistachio praline basket with sorbet therein, a chocolate mousse torte with raspberry sauce and a an apple tart with vanilla bean ice cream – each one was savored as each had a distant “personality” …all fine treats.

While all menu pricing is in line with gourmet of-ferings, there is a special offer for two diners that is a bargain. Choose from ei-ther the house salad or the Caesar salad or the soup du jour. Then select entrée offerings of filet mignon, pork chop, filet of salmon, chicken breast or spinach tagliatelle – all with ac-companiments. Have a bottle of select house wine and the Chef ’s daily selec-tion of dessert and coffee. This delightful menu is prix fixe at only $69. – a treat!

Menus change season-ally but the quality re-mains steadfast – this is a treasure for all to share. We suggest you…Go and Enjoy!

A Restaurant Rave for Carmen’s!

BOCA RATON -- Florida Atlan-tic University opens a new theater season with Caryl Churchill’s gen-der-bending satirical play, “Cloud 9,” opening Friday, Sept 23 and running through Sunday Oct. 2 in the Studio One Theatre.

“Cloud 9” is set in colonial Africa in Victorian times and roughly 100 years later in London circa 1979. The same actors appear in each act, but in different roles and in some cases different gender. For the actors only 25 years have passed, further compounding the surreal aspects of the play.

Director Desmond Gallant cau-tions this is adult stuff, with rough language, sexual references and general hanky-panky, and it is rec-ommended only for those 16 and older.

Tickets are $20 general admis-sion, $12 FAU students, and $16 for staff and alumni. Call 800-564-9539.Dweezil Zappa OffersFitting Tribute to Brilliant Dad

For those of us not lucky enough to have seen Frank Zappa and his bizarre musical group the Mothers of Invention live, we have Dweezil Zappa, Frank’s son, carrying the torch for his dad with his Zappa Plays Zappa show, which played Mizner Park Amphitheater this past Saturday.

Zappa was the opening act for the renowned progressive rock-jazz group Return to Forever, but for this musician, Zappa was the main attraction.

The music of Frank Zappa is very complex, often funny and unpredictable Dweezil

Zappa spent an entire year listening and playing along with his father’s re-cordings to perfect his sound.

Zappa recruited a first rate band to fill out the myriad sound landscape. They include Scheila Gonzalez on sax, flute and vocals; Pete Griffin, bass, Billy Hul-tin, marimba and percussion, Jamie Kime, guitar, Joe Travers, drums and vocals and Chris Norton, keyboards and vocals.

Dweezil Zappa doesn’t sing and he

didn’t do much talking either. He left that up to his lead vocalist, Ben Thomas, who has a gregarious, engaging stage presence.

For me the highlight of Zappa’s set was when he invited RTF pianist Chick Corea onstage, and the two traded licks on “King Kong.” It was a virtuoso expe-rience. As good as Return to Forever is (especially with special guest violinist Jean-Luc Ponty), their music is not as compelling, exciting or purely entertain-ing as Zappa’s.

Forthcoming Mizner Park Amphithe-ater events are a “Kingdom Call” fund-raiser at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8; the 2011 Mak-ing Strides against Breast Cancer Walk at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 22 and Rick Springfield and Jack Wagner in concert at 8 p.m. Nov. 4. Tickets for that Live Nation event are $38.50-$98.50.

Scene from “Cloud 9”




DELRAY BEACH – The Delray Beach Play-house opens its 65th season with one of Neil Simon’s best-loved and most popular plays, “The Sunshine Boys.”

The comedy opens Sept. 30 and plays through Oct. 16. Tickets are avail-able through membership or individually at $30. Stu-dent tickets are half-price. For reservations, call The Playhouse Box Office at (561) 272-1281 Ext. 4. For Group Reservations, call (561) 272-1281 Ext. 5.

“Sunshine Boys” is a loving tribute to the great

comic performers of a by-gone era. It was a smash hit on Broadway and lat-er became an Academy Award-winning film.

It tells the story of Al Lewis and Willie Clark, a comedy team who head-lined in vaudeville for 43 years. But Willie has re-fused to speak to Al for over a decade, ever since Al decided to retire from show business.

As the play begins, a major network studio wants to feature the team on a television show about the history of comedy. But will Willie agree to over-

look his anger and resent-ment to work with Al in one final, nationally tele-vised performance? Wil-lie’s nephew (and agent) Ben urges him to do the show, so the team’s most famous sketch can be pre-served for posterity. But Willie is not easily recon-ciled.

Len Stanger and Charles Newman appear as “Willie” and “Al” while Frank Stanzione appears as Willie’s long-suffering nephew, “Ben”.

Others in the cast in-clude Tana Velen, Lisa Kerr and Kyle Reinberg.

Delray Playhouse opens 65th season with ‘Sunshine Boys’AS SEEN BY FEEN

You could say that Countess Henrietta de Hoernle has thrown out more life preservers for the arts, education, health and the needy than most sea captains. She has donated money for over 40 buildings and has been on every imag-inable board of directors (40 in the past 25 years).

So, it came as no sur-prise that The Countess was honored in the pub-lic square (Mizner Park Amphitheater) on her 99th Birthday last Sat-urday. The event was a huge success with over 100 people in attendance and a sweetness that per-vaded the atmosphere like a tender mist. It al-most seemed like Boca Raton had been returned to its subtler small town roots (circa 1985) with introductions from May-or Susan Welchel, Poppi Mercier (executive di-rector of the Children's Museum of Boca Raton) and the birthday girl, The Countess herself.

“Give Where You Live and Know Where it Goes,” said the Count-ess, She also talked about the importance of doing good for our children and supporting charitable or-ganizations. “If you can’t donate money for chari-ties then volunteer your time,” she added.

It was a very hum-bling experience. The Countess, who was in a

wheel chair, spoke from her heart about her pas-sion – that of charitable giving. She was clearly choked up by all the ad-miration and tenderness coming her way. After the unveiling of the eight foot bronze statue of The Countess and her late husband, Count Adolph De Hoernle, she was asked to speak. She thanked everyone pro-fusely and then almost wept with appreciation.

And if you know The Countess then you know she is a very determined woman with a mission and a sharp mind. But she was clearly moved by the huge bronze sculptor created by local artist, Yaacov Heller.

We also had a chance to chat with The Count-ess a few days before her birthday celebration. She was as sharp as ever (in her 99th year) and told us that one of the things she is most proud of are the free concerts she sponsors in Mizner Park. “It keeps families to-gether and keeps kids off the street.” Her other fa-vorite thing is chocolate covered ginger candies. “At noon everyday I get my candy, I can’t wait.”

When asked what women should do to keep a good marriage (she has a good track record in the matrimony depart-ment) she said, “Women should agree (and listen

to) their man, but do what they want. Always be agreeable and do not interrupt him.”

What many people may not know is that The Countess is a night owl, staying up most nights until 1:30 am. “I was al-ways in the limelight and I enjoyed every min-ute of it. I had so much fun, I traveled around the world 20 times and wined and dined with kings and queens.”

The Countess also attended the weddings of both Princess Diana and Fergie (so much for matrimony on that side of the sea). She said the wedding party lasted for two weeks.

But closer to home (and more recent) she was overjoyed by the Birthday Bash held last week at the Peter Blum Family YMCA. Children serenaded her and ev-eryone expressed their love for this philanthro-pist who is clearly a role model for others to emu-late.

“I’ve seen and done it all. Until I was 95-years-old I went to two board meetings a day. But now I’ve slowed down. From the waist up I am fine, but not from the waist down.”

It goes to show you that you don’t need to have abs of steel or the legs of an athlete to do good. You only need a giving heart.

The first-of-its-kind app searches for independent merchants nationwide.

Hundreds of commu-nities publish directories or websites listing local mer-chants in the area, but few residents actually tote that material with them on a daily basis. The 3/50 Proj-ect aims to repair that dis-connect with LookLocal, the first iPhone app to showcase “mom and pop” businesses throughout North America.

“The goal is to put locally owned, indepen-dent brick and mortar merchants right in your

hand, regardless of where you are at the moment,” explains Cinda Baxter, founder of The 3/50 Project. “No one remem-bers to grab a brochure that lists businesses when they walk out the door, but who leaves home without a phone?”

“Independent” plays the central role here: Merchants who have no outside corporate support of any kind--the same businesses who return the largest percentage of their annual revenue to the local economy, accord-ing to a 2009 Civic Eco-

nomics Study.As a FREE down-

load for iPhone users, LookLocal features “inde-pendent brick and mor-tar” merchants, locating those closest to where the user stands, regardless of whether they’re at home or on the road--a feature no regional or city-specif-ic app can offer. Category shortcuts labeled Shop, Eat, Sip, Stay,

Services, and Play al-low users to immediately fine tune their results; click-to-call, mapping, and social media capa-bilities offer immediate

connection to both busi-nesses and their friends in a single tap.

LookLocal provides the missing link. Inclusion in LookLocal is free and automatic for independent brick and mortar mer-chants who sign up as Sup-porters on The350Pro-ject.net. Businesses who prefer more “oomph” in their profiles have the op-tion of upgrading to an Enhanced listing, which includes their social me-dia links, website links, and photographs, making it even easier to connect with consumers on a per-

sonal level.LookLocal promises

to be an invaluable tool in the battle for consumer attention, because you hardly ever see anyone without a cell phone now-adays. Versions for iPad and Android are current-ly in development, thus covering the three largest iOS pipelines to mobile consumers.

“It’s free to be in the app, free to download the app--this is a win/win for independent merchants, regardless of where they’re located,” accord-ing to Baxter.

About The 3/50 Project.The 3/50 Project ex-

ploded onto the consumer awareness scene on March 30, 2009 as a grassroots movement promoting lo-cally owned, independent businesses. Unique in its approach, the Project ad-vocates on behalf of all independent brick and mortars, from retailers to restaurants, hair salons to dry cleaners.

By Gerald J. Sherman WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN?™

Response to the Pitch. Are You Striking Out?

What is “The Pitch?” It’s a word with many meanings. In baseball the pitcher throws the ball at the batter to get a response – strike, ball or a hit. In music it de-scribes the different lev-els of sound. We also use it to describe a person’s voice, low pitch or high pitch.

In selling, it’s a verbal presentation which in-cludes the talking points.

In public relations it’s the talking points that are either voiced or writ-ten to the media in order to obtain publicity.

It’s also a tool in the form of a pitch letter/press release that in-cludes all the informa-tion to encourage the reporter to publish the information. This form of presentation is used daily by all of us in a business environment to communicate an idea, convince someone that what you are saying is important to them and basically tells them how your product/service benefits them.

Unfortunately, many people may look at the word “Pitch” as an ex-pression used by a fast talking salesperson try-ing to push a sale.

But, this is far from

the truth.Pitching, as we use

the terminology, is an act of professional sell-ing.

It basically is the act of selling. In our previously published text book, “The Real World Guide of Sell-ing & Management,” Gerald J. Sherman and Sar Perlman, Fairchild Publications, (2007), we indicated that selling is a professional endeavor and “not a dirty word.” We defined it as, “An exchange of goods and services designed to de-liver a mutual benefit for both buyer and seller, resulting in a continual and positive relation-ship.”

In pitching a story, you are actually looking to sell the other person on the content of the story and to indicate how it will be beneficial to both parties.

Once the pitch is or-ganized and all the pos-sible information is in front of the person, the next and most impor-tant area is to determine if she/he is interested in what you are say-ing. During the pitch one should be aware of the reaction the pitch is having on the individual

who is on the receiving end.

Listening for an ob-jection is essential dur-ing the pitch; it is a posi-tive reaction because the objection usually indi-cates that there is a need for more information and your message is not completely understood. If you determine that in this activity you have answered their objec-tions and they show an interest, the story has a chance and it is time to “close the sale!” The sim-ple act of closing a sale, asking for a commit-ment, is some times the most difficult thing. But, once you have received a positive response, you are on your way to a suc-cessful outcome.

By putting effort into researching the person or organization that you are pitching; you will find that striking out will not be an option!

Send me your ‘pitch’ and I will review it free and send you my recom-mendations.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

Fools on the Hill

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

FAITHBy Rick Warren

Day after day, alone on the hillThe men with the foolish grins chatter awayBut nobody listens to themWe can see that they are just foolsThey never give us an-swersBut the fools on the hillSee the sun going downAnd the eyes in their headsSee the world spinning around

Well on their way, heads in a cloudThe men of a thousand voices talking perfectly

loudBut nobody ever hears themOr the sounds they ap-pears to makeAnd they never seem to noticeBut the fools on the hillSee the sun going downAnd the eyes of the worldSee the US going to hell

And nobody seems to like themWe can tell what they want to doJust get themselves re-electedBut the fools on the hill

Don’t see us going downAnd the eyes in their headsSee the world spinning around

They never listen to usWe know that they're the foolsWe don’t like what they’re doing to usThe fools on the hillSees the sun going downAnd the eyes in our headsSee the world falling down.

Editor’s Note: Columnist Mike Gora changes his focus this week, and offers an “Ode toCongress” sing-along -- with apologies to The Beatles

There are many ways of defining success: sta-tus, power, promotions, money, and many other things. But one

important measure of success is impact – the influence individuals have on people surround-ing them, whether in the workplace, the commu-nity, or their own homes. What difference has their life had on others?

Looking historically, as well as spiritually, few peo-ple have made as much of an impact with their lives as the apostle Paul, whose life and writings are pre-sented in the Bible’s New Testament. By the end of his life, Paul had been in-strumental in spreading the Christian faith across the entire Roman Empire, despite traveling mostly on foot. Imagine what he might have accomplished if he he’d had a jet, a cel-lular phone, and a fax ma-chine!

Even though many of us devote our lives to pursuits in the business and professional world, I believe the life of Paul of-fers many lessons that we could apply to our own lives. Here are keys to his successful life:

SENSE OF DIREC-TION: To achieve suc-cess, it is important to know where you are going – what your goals and ob-jectives are. “I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize…” (Phi-

lippians 3:14).UNDERSTANDING:

We need to be able to deal with unexpected circum-stances and rise above ad-versity. “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Philippians 4:12).

C O M M I T M E N T : Once we embark on an important enterprise, suc-cess requires willingness to persevere in the face of difficulties and chal-lenges. “I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me” (Acts 20:24).

COMPASSION: Just as the apostle Paul remained sensitive to the needs of people around him, we also must strive to protect the best interests of those working with us. “I may have all knowledge…and the faith to move moun-tains…but if I don’t have love, it does me no good” (1 Corinthians 13:2-3).

E N T H U S I A S T I C FAITH: Successful lead-ers believe strongly in their mission, and their enthusiasm is contagious. “I have the strength for all things through Christ who empowers me. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me” (Philip-pians 4:13).

SERVICE TO OTH-ERS: Self-centered lead-ers generally have short

tenures. The leader de-voted to serving others, helping them reach their goals, is the one that finds eager followers. “I will be glad to spend all I have, and myself as well, in or-der to help you” (2 Corin-thians 12:15).

STAYING POWER: The adage reminds us, “It is not how you start, but how you finish.” This cer-tainly was true of Paul. “I am hard-pressed on all sides, but I’m never frus-trated; I’m puzzled, but never in despair; I am persecuted, but I’m never deserted by God; I may be knocked down but I’m never knocked out!” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

Try building these qualities into your own life and see what happens.

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers (9-11-8, 38 points) lost 2-0 against FC Tampa Bay (11-8-9, 41 points) to-night at Al Lang Stadium. The Strikers will finish the regular season in fourth place in the NASL and will face FC Edmonton in the first round of the playoffs at Lockhart Sta-dium on Saturday, Oct. 1, at 7:30p.m.

“Credit goes to Tampa Bay,” said head coach Da-ryl Shore, “They took ad-vantage of being a man up and deserved the game.”

Tampa Bay’s first and game-winning goal came at the 68 minute mark when Shane Hill found Keith Savage all alone be-hind the Strikers defense. Savage tucked his shot past Matt Glaeser to give FC Tampa Bay the 1-0 lead.

The goal came 17 min-utes after Strikers defend-er Cristian Arrieta was shown a straight red card for a challenge against FC

Tampa Bay’s Tsuyoshi Yo-shitake. The ejection forced the Strikers to play a man down the rest of the way and Tampa Bay was able to take advantage. FC Tampa Bay’s second goal came in second half stoppage time when Matt Clare was able to control a long pass and fend off his defender long enough to score his second goal of the season.

The Strikers will look to move past this set back as they return home for their first playoff game since 2006. FC Edmonton will be their opponent for the fifth time this season. Fort Lauderdale is 2-1-1 against Edmonton this season with a win and a loss at Lockhart Stadium.

“Edmonton is a tough team who we’ve had four close games against,” said Shore. “It will be a tough challenge, but one that we will be ready for.”

The Montreal Impact were able to defeat the

BOCA RATON, Fla. – A pair of victories last week extended the Lynn Uni-versity men’s soccer team’s winning streak to six while improving its record to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in the Sun-shine State Conference.

The Fighting Knights will look to continue their winning ways when they host Nova Southeastern on Wednesday, September 28, at 3 p.m. then travel to Tam-pa for a Saturday matchup slated for a 7 p.m. kick-off.

Defense continues to be the strength of this Blue & White squad. Anchored by Jason Sangha and A.B. Magnusson in the middle

and James Aldred and Mi-cheal Kutscher on the out-side, LU has limited op-ponents to just 17 shots in seven matches. That group worked its magic last week by holding Ave Maria and Florida Southern to a combined three shots on net. Those victories helped LU jump to No. 16 in the national top-25 poll.

Additionally, Heiko Eberhardt emerged as an offensive force for Lynn. The Reichenbach, Germa-ny, product scored three times in two matches, in-cluding the pivotal game-tying goal in a 3-1 vic-tory at Florida Southern. He is now second on the squad with four goals and

nine points, trailing only Harald Gracholski’s five goals and 10 points.

Nova Southeastern (2-4-1, 0-2-0 SSC) has lost three-straight matches while allowing 14 goals during that stretch. One of the oldest rivalries in program history, Lynn owns a 24-3-4 record all-time against NSU since first meeting in 1986. The Knights, though, will be looking for revenge after a loss last season ended its eight-game unbeaten streak against the Sharks. Nova is scoring a little over a goal per game but is surrendering 2.12 goals per match to its opponents.

The Blue & White

Lynn’s Men soccer Team Looks to Continue Winning Streak

meet up for another long-standing rivalry when they battle Tampa. Since first meeting in 1986, Tampa has gone 12-16-1 against Lynn. The Spartans have

had a rough start to their season as they are winless through their first seven matches (0-6-1, 0-2-0 SSC). Five of their seven match-es, though, have gone to

overtime. Ryan Griffin and Dominic Cutrofello have scored five of UT’s eight goals while all three goal keepers are allowing over two goals per game.

Strong physical contact OK for players,not for coaches?

By: Pedro Heizer

Boca Raton High School Bobcats football coach Keith Byars was fired this past week after allegedly shoving a player along the sidelines during the loss to Jupiter on Fri-day, September 16.

The Palm Beach Post reported it has videotapes of the game that showed Byars shoving quarter-back Kevin Anderson in the chest with two hands during an outburst in the second quarter of the 26-19 loss to the Jupiter High School Warriors.

The incident raises questions about proper be-havior at a football game without really answer-ing the questions. It also touches on a dichotomy af-fecting play at all levels of the game. Why is strong physical contact allowed on the playing field, but if a coach happens to touch a player, it will cost him is job?

Byars took over the head coach position in 2009 when he replaced Ed-die Giersbrook, who was forced out amid a Florida High School Athletic As-sociation investigation into Boca High’s football for il-legal recruiting practices. As a result of the FHSAA investigation, Boca Raton was placed on two years’ probation, fined $5,000 and vacated its 2008 wins.

Byars had a record of 14-11 as the head coach of the Bobcats, leading them to a 9-3 record his first season at the helm lead-ing them to the Regional Quarterfinals. The follow-ing season wasn’t a walk in the park as the Bobcats struggled to a 4-6 record and missed the playoffs. Right now the Bobcats are

1-2.According to Palm

Beach County School Dis-trict spokesman Nat Har-rington, Boca Raton High has named Lewis Burn-ham coach of its football team.

The incident with Byars, who seemed to lack community support despite his obvious coach-ing abilities, isn’t the first involving a football coach. In 2009, for example, Ben-jamin football coach Ron Ream was forced to re-sign after he was accused of putting his hands on a player during a practice, but later Ream was rein-stated because of the sup-port of the community.

What is going on with this world? A football coach being fired for put-ting his hands on a player is ridiculous. He’s a foot-ball coach, not a math teacher. He’s there to mo-tivate the kids, push them to their best, and how can he do that if he will be fired if he touches his

players?We are doing an injus-

tice to the student-ath-letes by doing this. Yes, I know football coaches should not hit kids but putting your hands on a player is not that same thing as physically hurt-ing them.

Have you ever seen an NCAA football game? Coaches grab players by their facemasks, shoulder pads and yell at them af-ter a bad throw, a missed tackle or a fumble.

If the player is so of-fended by what the coach had to say to him, maybe he shouldn’t be playing football. Coaches are there to build character and no matter what you want to say, every coach plays to win the game.

A coach that is a “good guy” will never succeed. Look at the great coaches in sports, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Don Shula, Jack McKeon, and others.

Coaches like the ones mentioned above play to

win the game. If you are going to try and tell me that high school football is not about winning, then please explain to me why do they have champion-ships, records and the whole nine yards?

Say what you want to about Keith Byars and his ability to coach, but his track record as a high-caliber athlete speaks for itself; an All-America at Ohio State before playing 13 years in the NFL.

He played for the Ea-gles (1986-92), Dolphins (1993-96), Patriots (1996-97) and Jets (1998) and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1993 while with the Dolphins.

Maybe Boca High wasn’t the right place for him. Maybe he will find another place, maybe not.

But one thing is for sure, if Boca High has “good guys” as their head coaches, they won’t be

seeing a championship for the next three decades.

It seems like every-where you turn, the media is trying to hate on Leb-ron. It comes with the ter-ritory of being arguably the greatest player in the game today. A huge rea-son for the lockout can be linked to Lebron James, and his decision to join up with another superstar in Dwyane Wade, and an all-star Chris Bosh.

Did Lebron do any-thing wrong? In my opin-ion the only thing he did wrong was announce it on live television, and the whole celebration af-terwards. We all get to choose where we live, and where we would like to work, to an extent. Leb-ron just took that freedom and signed with Miami. No problems with that, but it showed who had all of the power. In the last CBA the players won. The owners started los-ing money (how much though, is up for debate), and the players had all of the power.

The owners want to start making money again, and want some of the power back. The Celt-ics might have started the trend of stars com-ing together, but LeBron, and the Heat took it to a new level, by not giving up anything to form the team. You can debate all you want to about “is this

good for the league or not?”, but the consensus seems like the owners are against this.

While Lebron sign-ing with the Heat was not wrong, it started a bad trend in my opinion dur-ing last season. You heard more about the Carmelo Anthony soap opera, then actually what happened on the court last year. I can only imagine what a Nug-gets fan went through last year, and how frustrat-ing it had to be. Utah saw what was going on, and patiently waited who the “loser” was in the Carmelo sweepstakes between New Jersey and New York, and whoever the “loser” was, they would ship Deron Williams to them

Now, I do not know what the owners can do to stop all of this, but it will be a repeat this up-coming season, whenever that is. The participants in this season’s reality drama will be Dwight Howard, and the Magic, and Chris Paul, and the New Or-leans Hornets.

With all of this hap-pening, the finals had a much higher television ratings then in seasons past, but how long can that keep up? There is a good chance some Nug-gets fans got so fed up with all of this last sea-son, that they left the

Just Blame LeBron James for the Lockout

NBA. Same thing will happen in Orlando, and New Orleans if there is a repeat of this. You have to start to wonder about the fans of these small market teams, and how can they stay loyal, when the play-ers are flocking to only a few teams. If there is not something dramatic done soon, they will be in base-ball territory, where there about ten teams continu-ally irrelevant.

Now, was Lebron sign-ing with the Heat a ter-rible move by him? No, he had every right to do that, and that is not my point. My point is he started a trend, which could be very bad for the league. The owners see that, and want to put a stop to it. Lebron proved the players had all of the power, and the owners want some of that power back.
