A Night of Laughter with Tom Cotter at Library’s Birthday Fete By C. Ron Allen Nationally-known comedian Tom Cotter was in town recently to raise money for the Delray Beach Library’s 100 birthday celebration.
The Stony Point, NY., resident, who was runner-up on the most recent “America’s Got Talent,” brought his high energy, rapid-fire style of comedy to the annual “Laugh with the Library, Chapter 7” event Feb. 1. “I’m honored to be a part of this benefit,” Cotter said in an interview before the show at the Marriott. “It’s sold out and were going to raise a lot of money for a good cause. “ He spared no one throughout his
xx-minute performance. He cracked on seniors, bad drivers and couples. His humor occasionally took a few dark, but funny turns, like when he talked about relationships with pets – dogs and cats. It’s been a whirlwind year for Cotter, a journeyman comedian who auditioned for the seventh season of “AGT” after learning that one of the show’s judges, Piers Morgan, was leaving the panel and would be replaced by shock jock Howard Stern. “Everyone for the previous six years, had been saying, ‘Cotter you’ve got to go out’ because of my style of comedy is kind of rapid-fire,” said Cotter, who has performed standup for about 25 years. “When I saw Pierce critiqued other comics, he was very harsh. He would say things like, ‘I didn’t laugh,’ ‘You’re not original,’ and ‘You weren’t funny.’ I didn’t want to be in front of 19 million people having some British dude telling me I wasn’t funny. So, I always shied away from it.” With comedians Howie Mandel and Stern on the panel and renaissance woman Sharon Osbourne, Cotter said

Sorority Celebrates 30 Years of Serving the Community By Jason Schwartz Since receiving its charter from Regional Director Mary Shy Scott in 1983, the South Palm Beach County Alumnae chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has been on the move. From the initial 20 members to the current 50, the chapter has grown in membership, programs and service. But it’s never forgotten its charter members and founding values. The chapter will observe its 30-year anniversary Feb. 23 with a luncheon at Benvenuto restaurant in Boynton Beach. The celebration, themed “Thirty Years of Continuous Leadership and Timeless Service – Hats off to Great Leadership”, will begin at 12 noon. “In conjunction with our theme, we’re going to be recognizing people who have made accomplishments in five different areas,” said Deborah Nix, a retired educator who was a member of the sisterhood’s first line in 1984. The Xi Pi Omega chapter, as it is officially called, serves the Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach areas. Conceived as a social and service organization by undergraduate Ethel Hedgeman Lyle and founded on the campus of Howard University, AKA was the nation’s first black sorority.
When AKA began, blacks were largely confined to a handful of black colleges, and the terrorism of lynching was on its way to claiming thousands of lives. In those days, being “on line” was a term reserved for dressing alike, learning history, and learning ritual steps and songs along with all the other “Ivies” who made up your pledge class, longtime members said. Some members have lived to see profound changes both at the national and local level. “One of the things that was significant back when the chapter was chartered in 1983, a lot of the women were from this area,” Nix said. “Whereas now, because of the growth of the area, we’re getting a lot of members from out of state and a number of young women who’ve gone to college, gotten an education and have returned home.” Today’s membership is comprised of a cross section of avocations compared to its inception when it was mostly educators, members added. “We used to have educators but to-
day we have members from a broad range of employment – medicine, social services and people who own their own businesses,” she said. Today, AKA has more than 200,000 members nationally, and the women who joined in the decades after Nix benefited from an established network of professionals. The organization boasts civil rights leaders, judges, doctors, lawyers and educators, and membership has meant that there is usually another AKA close by, ready to do an
extra bit of looking out. The organization counts the late civil rights activists Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King, actresses Phylicia Rashad, Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Jada Pinkett and singer Alicia Keys among its members. Notable members of the Xi Pi Omega chapter include the late H. Ruth Pompey, one of its charter members, retired educators Nadine Hart and Dorothy Walker, Mary Randolph and Helen Condry.

Prep & Sports, Inc, a nonprofit organization that tutors and mentors student-athletes in southern Palm Beach County, held its 3rd annual ‘Big Game Party’ at the Hyatt Place, Delray Beach on Sunday. The goal of the party was to raise money so the organization can continue providing academic tutoring and sports training for these students. Several dozen supporters paid $100 for all the food they could eat, an open bar and a chance to hobnob with a few dignitaries. The highlight for many of the guests was meeting and mingling with current and former NFL players. The organization was the brainchild of Tavarius (TJ) Jackson a graduate of Olympic Heights Community High School and a former Dallas Cowboys football player. The Delray Beach native has
entrance exam and was later offered a scholarship to play football at Virginia Tech University, where he played and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in residential property management. In 2003, Jackson signed as a free agent to play for the Dallas Cowboys and returned home after a stint. With first-hand experience, his quest was to ensure that his peers in the community especially those who struggled academically were prepared to pass the college entrance exams. “A lot of the kids throughout Palm Beach County are involved in athletics…. We want to help them put that amount of energy equally into academics,” said Jackson, who recently was named football coach at Atlantic High School.

Random Thoughts The beginning of the year is a time of reflection. We bemoan the failures of the past year and vow to make resolutions to improve or not to repeat our mistakes. However, we should set resolutions we can keep. As Abe Lincoln once said, “Your own resolution to succeed is more important than the resolution itself.” I am not one who makes New Year’s resolutions. And last month, I had planned to share with you my hopes and dreams for 2013. But that column was bumped because of the shooting in Connecticut. However, I promised I would share them with you this month, no matter what. For starters, I wish we all will set resolutions we can keep to improve ourselves, our lives and the world around us. 1. Get Out of Debt. I will strive to spend less than I earn. 2. Learn Something New. I will attempt to learn to fix my own computer, thus making my friend happy. 3. Get Organized. When it comes to my house, less is more. I will not hesitate to invite someone over on a whim, and I can find my stapler when I need it. 4. Help Others. A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, volunteerism can
Editorials & Letters
take many forms. 5. To better cherish family, children and the sanctity of life, and recognize my most important purpose… is to love and to be loved. The last five are my wish list, but I wish friend that you will make them your resolutions. 6. I wish Democrats and Republicans can finally realize that our suffering country is much more important than their petty squabbles, private perks, or corporate backers. 7. I wish Congress would make unemployment a priority. 8. I hope that deadly and nonsensical ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws, like the ones here in Florida, are erased from the law books. 9. I wish the ongoing conflicts around the world will finally come to peaceful conclusions. 10.

Letters to the Editor Not Another Bureaucracy Your column in January’s issue suggested the need for gun control. I don’t see how gun control will make any difference when the majority of gun deaths are from illegal guns. Gun control is going to create another bureaucracy, like the war on drugs, that will costs billions and go nowhere. I live in a rural part of the county and, yes, there are rifles and shot guns at some yard sales. There is no way to stop people from obtaining guns, by stealing or buying them, from people who have legally obtained them. George Mason Lake Worth No Gun Control Please I strongly disagree with your column calling for gun control because these events never do. There is always talk about gun control (which always goes nowhere), yet the idea that tragedies like [Newtown, Conn.] ould possibly be prevented by creating a more robust mental health system is never even uttered in the media or public discourse. Alex Santos Delray Beach Let’s Help the Mentally ill It is depressing in part that it takes a tragedy such as this to discuss mental health services. More people commit suicide every year
than do die by homicide. In fact there are more than twice as many suicides than homicides (38,000 vs 18,000). I suppose any discussion is good. However, I fear that when something like this happens the mentally ill will never be truly helped because the discussion is not starting for the right reasons. You want to spark proper conversation about mental health services? Do it first because you are concerned about the mentally ill themselves, not primarily because of what the mentally ill might do to others. Odessa Gibson Boynton Beach Time to Start Discussing Gun Control It sure as hell will help if we start the damn conversation on gun control. We need to call and write our senators and representatives in government, write letters to the editor, post it on Facebook, tweet, blog, etc., and talk to family and friends about it. We can’t remain quiet. This issue needs a spotlight, and we are the ones to provide it. We are the ones most affected and we have to raise our voices and make our voices heard.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER By Douglas Heizer
The 5 P’s of Ethical Decision-Making Rick Boxx wrote a great column on The 5 P’s of Ethical DecisionMaking and I thought it would be a great read for you! Hope you enjoy. - Douglas Heizer Not long ago I heard author and speaker Lee Strobel give an excellent message on what he called the “5 P’s for making ethical decisions.” I thought his insights would be good to present in “Monday Manna.” The first P he mentioned is Purpose. When making a challenging decision, it is critical to remember your purpose. If your purpose is to make money, you will often make the wrong decision. However, if your purpose is aligned with biblical principles, your decision will lead to a much different result. As 1 Corinthians 10:31 teaches, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Everything followers of Jesus Christ do should be for the purpose of glorifying God. When that becomes the motivation behind ethical decisions, difficult workplace decisions become
easier. The second P Strobel cited was Prayer. He stressed the importance of praying about hard decisions, seeking wisdom and guidance. We also should pray, according to Strobel, for the moral conviction and courage to do the right thing. Many times we know the right thing to do, but need the courage to do it. James 1:5 teaches, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” The next time you face a challenging ethical dilemma, take Strobel’s advice and pray boldly for God’s wisdom, then trust He will provide it. The third P in Strobel’s list was Principles. He urged his audience to make decisions by testing them against biblical principles. He said 50 percent of ethical decisions are based on emotion. Emotions like fear, greed, or anger can lead to very poor decisions. Pausing to consider how your proposed decision aligns with what the Bible teaches is more productive.
Psalm 119:9 teaches, “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.” When you face ethical dilemmas, do not let emotions rule. Pause, pray and seek help in God’s Word. Strobel’s fourth P was People. When faced with a tough decision, do not make it alone. Involving wise, trusted people in your ethical decisions has many benefits, including receiving good counsel, forcing you to be transparent, and adding built-in accountability. For years, I led a small group of CEOs. Many times, regardless of the issue, we found someone with insights that were helpful for arriving at a wise decision. Proverbs 15:22 teaches, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Being a leader can be lonely at times, but it does not have to be. When faced with a challenging ethical decision, allow other people to be a part of your decision. The final P was Popular Opinion. However, Strobel took this principle in a different direction. He recommended when confront-
ing a difficult decision, consider what the popular opinion might be – and then be prepared to do the opposite. God is not concerned with what the majority of people think. In Isaiah 55:9, God teaches, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Ethical decisions based on popular opinion can be disastrous. Be courageous and, if necessary, take God’s opposing path instead, Strobel advised. Copyright 2013, Integrity Resource Center, Inc.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Conversations Which Break Relationships! I often hear people complain that persons they know don’t seem to talk to them anymore. In some cases, even those whom they considered to be close friends appear distant, and don’t visit or talk as much as it was done before. While they used to respond so readily to invitations for social interactions, they now appear to find reasons always to decline similar offers. Not that any fight took place between those people, nor misunderstandings erupted among them. They just question “Why” and lament, without knowing the cause. Through my investigation of some such reports, I quickly notice that what often happens is that the complainer tends to be a very domineering indi-
vidual. In spite of the hospitality which such person extends to others, when it takes place it appears that they,alone, open their mouth the entire time of the visit. In the case of a couple, it is also quite frequent that when a spouse says something relatively insignificant, the other immediately has to contradict, or deny what is being said. For instance, if a person refers to something being yellow, the other will interrupt simply to say, “No, it was green;” if one is describing a vacation taken together and alludes to some incident they experienced, the other has to revise and “correct” a minor, irrelevant detail which no one cares about, and which makes no difference to the report being pre-
sented. After experiencing some of the above, or other unpleasant distractions of this nature, some people begin to retreat whenever a new invitation is issued to them for dinner by the same individuals, or any other type of socializing with those people. Sadly, I’ve seen such things far too often, which make me understand the vacillation of some in being ready to respond and be with acquaintances which will just repeat the same “show” which quickly ceases from being interesting or desirable. If you wish to be hospitable to others, and to enjoy the company of such friends and acquaintances, seek to inquire more about them rather than talk
about yourself. Allow them the opportunity to participate in a conversation if you ever want to see them back; give them the opportunity to speak, make the experience a true exchange, involving dialogues rather than the monologues you use to dominate the moments spent together. As you can see, you don’t need to start a fight in order to distance your friends from you; any of the above is a form of disrespect, even if unintentional, which most people prefer to avoid altogether. It’s always good to enjoy the company of others. But for that, there is the right way and the wrong manner of doing it! Know the correct manner and do it!

The African-American Church of Yesterday The historical African-American church still speaks today. Loudly. And we might all just need this more than ever. February is Black History Month, which reminds us to stop and give honor where honor is due, especially to the AfricanAmerican individuals and groups that have shaped who we are as country today. Rather than one individual, we shall take a look at an entire movement that defined a culture and has the potential to bring renewal to many today. The historical African-American church.
abwile calls us to look closer than just the early church movement of the first century, to the much nearer historical African-American church of America. He offers a few key themes that defined this movement as the same key themes that can bring clarity to what God is doing today through the local church.
KEEP OR SELL THE HOUSE
Q My wife and I moved to Boca Raton ten years ago, and bought a house for $275,000. It was once worth about $750,000, now only $400,000.00. I own a business, which my attorney tells me has nominal value under Florida divorce law. We have retirement savings, a couple of luxury cars, on lease, and a small boat. The house is our major asset; it has a mortgage of only about $100,000.00. We have three children under eighteen.
Case law says that such a result is favored by Florida courts. On the other hand, the cases say that financial circumstances, such as those you outline may require its sale.
She now wants to keep the house, stating that she could not live anywhere else, in such a nice house, with as low a mortgage payment as we have now. She would need alimony, which she says she would not need if she stayed in the house. She works, and says she would be fine with some alimony and child support, if the house were sold later. I would like to settle, but then I’d have to rent. What do you think a judge would do if we went to trial? What should I do?
Your house may continue to grow in value. In negotiating, be sure to specify who is to pay the mortgage payment, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. Specify whether the paying person gets any extra credits at the time of sale.

First allow me to define reality. The church as a whole is more and more being found to be a minority in America. A Biblical worldview is no longer truly welcome in politics, the marketplace, education, or Hollywood. Authors Steve Timmis and Tim Chester of Everyday Church, rightly suggest that we are living in a “post-Christendom” world. A world that is skeptical of anything absolute, especially a Jewish carpenter who 2000 years ago claimed to be the way, and the truth, and the theology and the Black Church has been its insistence on the full diglife. nity, humanity, brotherhood, and Now what?

Does DESIGN MATTER? It seems very relevant, that with the passing of Apple Founder and Master Genius Steve Jobs, that potentially everyone who has ever purchased an Apple product has
been exposed to a commitment to Design Excellence. Congruently, the hardware, software interface and the packaging of the Apple product exemplified the finite detailing that makes an object beautiful. Steve Jobs forever changed how technology impacts our lives yet he never relented his passion for creating well DESIGNED Products. Can “Place Making” Architecture create the same impact? Boca Raton’s Downtown has already proven that Design Matters. Mizner Park, achieving its 20th anniversary has been identified by the New Urbanism as one of the best planned and constructed Urban Spaces in America for the last 25 years. We have all been there to shop, dine, get a Starbucks fix or see a concert. These utilitarian functions are necessary adjuncts to our daily routine. However, have you ever truly noticed how many visitors go there to stroll along the loggias and plaza? These
momentary gatherings at the fountain or gazebos to watch live entertainment are what energize the “Space”. The scale of the trees overhead, the texture and multi color pattern of the pavers gently dissolving into velvet feeling grass. It is also the introduction of water in the artistically tiled fountains that serves as both an audible and reflective sensory forces. Why do “Special Spaces” evoke the emotional and haptic sensory feelings that draw us there? For thousands of years, architects, artists, builders, owners and governmental entities have been Collaborating to create such spaces for their citizens to enjoy. Piazza San Marco, Times Square, St Peter’s Square and on and on.... The leadership of any City realizes that to create a Community, there must be opportunities for the residents to gather, enjoy each other’s company, participate in activities and of course engage in commerce. The City of Boca Raton has been promoting this initiative since the early 80’s when the Community Redevelopment Agency was formed. Since then, many passionate “Urbanites”(City Planners, Architects, Lawyers & Private Citizens) who tirelessly wrote the downtown code, lobbied for its funding, cultivated the “Mizner-
esque” Architectural guidelines and then created the momentum of ACTION to build. Mizner Park is now a 25 year legacy project recognized throughout the world as a model in Remarkable Urban Space Creation. This place is in

our Downtown. Yes, we have a Downtown. It is full of local businesses, retail stores, incredible restaurants, art studios, civic venues, parks, cinema and live theaters, all within a 10 minute walk. The recent improvements for the “Promenade” continues to thread the necessary fabric together, that with time, will become a metaphoric quilt of Boca Raton. Come experience this important addition to our Community on October 21st & 22nd. I am certain you will see and experience the essence of why creative Urban Planning is enhancing the Downtown. There will more specific Case Studies in the near future where the “Back-Story” on what creates the special urban/pedestrian spaces in our downtown will be explored and continue to demonstrate why DESIGN MATTERS......

Freaky Fun and Drama at Slow Burn Theatre By Skip Sheffield
The freaks have overtaken West Boca Raton High School and we mean that in the best possible way. Slow Burn Theatre’s production of “Side Show” celebrates oddities, aberrations and mutations in music and song. The musical, by Bill Russell and Henry Krieger ran for just 91 performances on Broadway. It is onstage only through Sunday, Feb. 10 in the Performing Arts Auditorium, so catch it while you can. The story centers on Daisy (Kaela Antolino) and Violet (Courtney Poston), characters based by real life conjoined English-born Hilton twins. The girls were inextricably joined at the hip, but in the show they are able to separate temporarily for dramatic purposes. “Side Show” is a miraculous example of getting maximum results from minimum resources. The cast is large (17) yet lavishly costumed by Rick Pena, who also plays Buddy, a struggling musician who discovers the twins in a carnival sideshow drags his friend Terry Connor (codirector Matthew Korinko), an Orpheum Circuit vaudeville scout, to see the act. Connor instantly sees the commercial potential in the untrained twins. Buddy and Terry convince Daisy and Violet to leave the carnival to achieve their star potential. The greedy carnival boss (Conor Walton) fights and threatens them. Their best friend Jake (Jerel Brown) asks them to stay for reasons of his own, but he agrees to let them go when they say he can come with them. Daisy and Violet, like the twins on which they are based, are two separate and distinct personalities forced to share the same corporate body. Daisy is more ambitious and star-struck. Violet yearns for love, romance and a conventional marriage. This inevitably leads to conflict, as it did for the real-life Hilton sisters. Dreams are expressed in “Like Everybody Else” and “Feelings You’ve Got to Hide;” reality in “The Devil You Know, “Who Will Love Me As I Am?” and “I Will Never Leave You.” “Side Show” is also about exploitation. America is in the depths of the Depression and people are desperate to do anything for a buck. In the case of the Hilton sisters that

Instead it is uplifting in an odd way, celebrating strong souls who triumph over handicaps.

mously. Her writings were adapted into a stage play and later a book called “To be Young, Gifted and Black,” which was a success in the 1968-1969 Broadway season. “Raisin” was adapted into the single-word musical production, which won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1973. Bruce Norris wrote “Clybourne Park” in 2010 in response to “Raisin.” It had its Florida debut at Caldwell Theatre and won a Carbonell Award as Best New Play for the final season of that company. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 2011 and Tony Award for Best Play in 2012. Guest-directed by Seret Scott, “A Raisin in the Sun” is a largely autobiographical story of how Hansberry’s family broke the color barrier of a Chicago suburb.

(Ethan Henry) is a proud, hard-working but sometimes hard-drinking, reckless family man. Ruth (Shirine Babb) is his strong, supportive, forgiving wife. Daughter Beneathe Younger (Janice Abbott Pratt) is the closest character to the playwright: whipsmart, ambitious and full of righteous indignation over racial prejudice. Joseph Asagai (Marckenson Charles) is Benethe’s Nigerian-born exchange student friend and George (Jordan Tisdale) is her boyfriend. Travis Younger is the 10-year-old son, played by Mekiel Benjamin and Joshua Valbrun in alternating performances. The family matriarch is the regal Ruth (Pat Bowie, made up to look much older). Act One is mostly a simmering, ominous setup for the fiery Act Two. Ruth’s husband has died, leaving a $10,000 insurance policy to the family. Ruth wants to use the money to finance a down payment on a house in Clybourne Park, a previously all-white suburb. The rest of the money will go to help finance Beneathe’s college tuition and family expenses. Walter has other plans, cooked up with his shady friend Bobo (Micley LaFrance). Everyone’s plans are put in jeopardy by Karl Linder (David A, Hyland). Smiling obsequiously, Karl claims to be head of the welcoming committee for the Clybourne Park Improvement Association. The only improvement the committee really wants is protection of the value of their homes against feared loss if a black family moves into the neighborhood. Act Two is a conflagration resulting from a foolish decision, a senseless loss, and dire consequences. Each character has his or her chance to bare his or her soul. The results are spectacular, particularly with piteously grieving, regretful Walter and devastated Beneathe. In the final analysis, it is the quiet, stoic power of grandmother Ruth that gives the play its dramatic charge, wonderfully realized by Pat Bowie. If you want to see a ground-breaking, modern classic, look for farther than “A Raisin in the Sun.” It runs through March 3 at 201 Clematis St., West Palm Beach. Tickets are $55 ($10 students) and group rates are available. Call 561-514-4042 or go to www.palmbeachdramaworks.org. February 8, through February 14, 2013

Marry Poppins Spreads Her Spoonful of Sugar in WPB A revved-up, scaled-down version of the musical “Mary Poppins” is enjoying a short stay through Feb. 3 at Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. This is a kind of jewel box, pop-upbook version of the show, featuring an ingenious revolving, unfolding set designed so scenes can be changed very quickly. Unlike the touring version that visited Broward Center a few years ago, this production does not have the magical Mary Poppins flying over the audience. I’m guessing the much higher ceiling of Kravis makes rigging the flying much more difficult. Mary still flies, but her flying is confined to the stage. This isn’t “Peter Pan” after all. The fact that Mary can levitate with her umbrella is just one of her many talents. Mary Poppins changes people for the better, and in Madeline Trumble’s

CHILDREN’S Caleb Lucas CORNER Tommy Turtle Tommy Turtle lived in a rock pit. It was actually very nice for a rock pit. He was so happy because he was going to go to the pond today. “I can’t wait to go to the pond today!” he said. What time is it?” he asks himself. It’s 11:55. At 2:00 I’m going to go!” Just then Mr. Bunny hops up. “Hi!” said Mr. Bunny. “Could you help me wash my carrots?” “Ok,” said Tommy, “let’s go.” 1 hour later “What time is it now?” asked Tommy, “It’s 1:00,” replied Mr. Bunny. “Oh, I should go!” said Tommy Turtle. “Thank you, Tommy!” Mr. Bunny shouted out. “You’re welcome!” Tommy shouted back as he scurried out the door so he could get ready to go to the pond. Just as he got home Mrs. Chick came up and asked if Tommy could watch over her eggs while she went to get food. “Oh, ok,” said Tommy. “But I have to go to the pond at 2:00.” “Oh, thank you, Tommy,” said Mrs. Chick. “God bless you.” 30 minutes later “Sorry I took so long. I could barely find a seed,” said Mrs. Chick, as soon as she arrived home. “It’s ok,” said Tommy. “What time
is it?” he also asked. “Oh, it’s 1:30,” said Mrs. Chick. “Oh no! I should really go!” said Tommy Turtle, politely. “Bye,” said Mrs. Chick. “Bye,” said Tommy. “Oh, no,” said Tommy sadly. “I’m not going to make it to the pond in time.” Just then, it started pouring and storming quite badly. “Oh, now I see why I wasn’t supposed to go to the pond today. It’s raining! Thank you, God, for stopping me from going to the pond today. You know best.” “For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.” (Psalm 9:4 NKJV) I think we learned an important lesson today with Tommy the Turtle. It’s that God knows best. When something doesn’t go the way you planned, it’s probably for the best. Even if you don’t know what the good reason is, just trust God because he will always do what is right and best for everyone. With regards from The Author (Caleb Lucas is a resident of Palm Beach County, where he lives with his family. He enjoys sports, and takes piano lessons. This and all forthcoming monthly stories are entirely his own ideas and composition – quite good for an 11 year old).

MEDITERRANEAN DELIGHTS AT ESTIA GREEK TAVERNA Authentic dishes include 8 cold appetizers as Tzatziki (yogurt with cucumber, dill and garlic with Greek olive oil), Taramosalata (a fish roe spread), hummus and Tirokafteri (feta cheese with hot peppers and olive oil), dolmades (grapes leaves stuffed with rice and herbs), and black olives. There are 15 hot appetizers we had a very nice fried calamari – quite tender. We then sampled tiny fried smelts for seafood starters. The taste of their mussels and scallops was over powered by the strong tomato, basil, garlic and feta cheese sauce. While we liked the cold dolmades we loved the hot version with ground beef, rice and herbs topped with a fine egg lemon sauce. We tried the giant baked beans - nothing here like the usual – the tomato and onion sauce added to the beans sweet flavor. Do try it. We sampled the tasty green salad with its fine dressing but found the red beet salad, though tasty as well, had very little of the beet taste. Listed are 5 (rustic Greek originals) and we had to try the traditional mousakas. This was a huge portion containing layers of eggplant, potatoes, ground beef and homemade bechamel sauce… a perfect dish. Lamb chops, scallops and shrimp with lemon potatoes and vegetable make up the Estia’s signature platter. The chops had a lemony flavor as well as the potatoes, the scallops had a deep sea flavor, the shrimps sweet and tender. The meat sampler offers lamb chops, biftekia (ground beef patty), deep flavored Greek sausage chicken souvlaki (marinated chicken breasts). And a lamb/
beef gyro. Each of these individual components can be the focus of full plates. Meat listings also offer rib eye steak, pork chops, and various souvlakis. Fish and seafood offerings include shrimp sautéed or grilled, swordfish, salmon or yellow tail snapper or bronzino. Scallops, mussels, and shrimp are available over pasta in chefs’ signature red wine sauce. We sampled a delicious egg lemon chicken soup - a superior choice. The soup of the day was a full bodied lentil soup…if it’s on your menu, try it. Carlene, Steve and this reviewer ordered bougatsa… a desert of phyllo dough with custard cream having hints of vanilla and topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon. We then tasted the traditional blaklava, honey soaked phyllo with almonds and walnuts. Both desserts were wonderful and a sweet ending to a fine Greek meal. Other desserts offered include rice pudding and yogurts. From a list of 10 coffees, we had a delicious decaf cappuccino, hot and sweet. There is as modified luncheon menu as well as 3 items on a kids menu. Located at 507 SE Mizner in Boca Raton (561-245-8885), Estia seats 80 inside and 50 on patio. Open seven days, luncheon from 11:30am – 3:30 pm, Diners 3:30pm – 10:30pm from Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday hours extend to 3:30pm to 11:00pm. A full bar is available for your pleasure. Opened only one year, Estia Greek Taverna and Bar offers excellent fare…we suggest you... go and enjoy!

Continued from page 1 was festooned with art depicting signature elements from the STEAM disciplines, every table was draped with cloths depicting the solar system, and even the desserts featured chocolates depicting Einstein’s famous equation. “I knew I had to make an impact worthy of our guest,” Boice said. Wozniak seemed overwhelmed by the magnificent display and the reception he
received from the over 660 guests. The Apple co-founder, who was the engineer behind the famed Apple I and Apple II computers, easily won the audience over with his self-effacing manner and humor. He conversed for almost an hour with event emcee, Felicia Rodriguez of WPBF Ch. 25, on a wide range of topics, including many questions submitted by PBSC students. While Woz stressed the importance of the STEAM disciplines for our stu-
dents to remain competitive and prosperous, he also reminded the students of the essentials: finding their passion in life and being a kind well-liked person. Those themes he entwined throughout many of his personal stories, as he told of his early years in high school, his initial job with HewlettPackard and his now legendary partnership with Steve Jobs. “Wozniak was a magnificent speaker,” Boice said. “His words were heart-
felt and his insights into the future were truly inspiring. He made us realize how much we have to look forward to and how our students really need our guidance and support to help them achieve that next level of success. Our hope with the new scholarship launch at PBSC is to give our students a chance to excel and lead us to the next great thing.”

Free shred event nets nearly 20 Suspect looking for “friends” in all the wrong places tons of paper Boca Raton, FL – On Saturday, January 26, 2013, the Boca Raton Police Department and the MicroShred Corporation teamed up to help prevent identity theft by hosting a free document shredding event. The event, which was held at the Boca Raton Town Center Mall, attracted more than 500 people, armed with documents to be shredded. In all, the community dropped off 38,626 pounds (19.3 tons) of paper. According to MicroShred, 19.3 tons of paper equates to saving over 328 trees and nearly 58 cubic feet in landfills. This represents a three ton increase over last year’s shred event. Also, this year nearly 30 computer
hard drives were destroyed. By shredding and properly disposing of all sensitive documents, individuals take a key step toward protecting their identity. According to reports from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, more than 15 million people reported having their identities either stolen or misused last year. Florida had the highest per capita rate of reported identity thefts in the United States. The overall losses from identity theft last year were close to $37 billion.

Boca Raton, FL – A Miami resident was looking for a friend in all the wrong places. On January 29th at approximately 12:45 pm, members of the Boca Raton Police Tac Team noticed a car with dark tinted windows driving around Sugar Sand Park. A check of the license plate showed the car had been used to commit other burglaries. As it proceeded through the south lot, the driver turned to avoid a marked Boca Raton Police cruiser parked nearby. After driving around and making multiple turns in the parking lot, the suspect drove toward the exit. Because the driver did not come to complete stop a stop sign, a traffic stop was initiated. The driver, Damian Moore, said he was in the area to visit a friend named “Jamie”. Moore did not know “Jamie’s” last

name, phone number or address. After changing his story multiple times about “Jamie,” he admitted that “Jamie” didn’t exist. Moore then said he came to Boca Raton to panhandle because the money was better than Miami.
During the traffic stop, officers smelled marijuana in the car, conducted a search and turned up .1 grams. Moore also acknowledged his car was not properly registered and he was driving with a suspended license. Moore was arrested and charged with Loitering & Prowling, Possession of Marijuana, Driving with a Suspended License and for Driving an Unregistered Vehicle. He was also given a verbal warning about the dark tint on the windows of his car.

More residential burglars arrested Boca Raton, FL – On Friday, January 25 at about 11:30 a.m., officers with the Boca Raton Police Department’s Tactical Team located a Silver Volkswagen driving around inside the Millpond housing development. Officers saw two or three males get out of the car, then one male get into the driver’s seat and drive out of the area. Two males were also seen walking along a canal on the east side of the development. Officers checked the area and found a home in the 2200 block of NW 35th Street which had a broken window and dirt tracked inside. Inside, they found open drawers and a pillowcase was missing. The owner confirmed that the home

was burglarized, and jewelry and a pillowcase were missing. Officers stopped the driver of the silver VW who was identified as Samuel Walker. A Boca Raton K9 team tracked from the victim’s home east towards the canal where they found items belonging to the victim, as well as gloves and a window punch. The K9 team continued to track to NW 23rd Terrace where they located Adalberto Montalvo in a tree near 3339 NW 23rd Terrace and Quinton Sylvestre was located several houses away, hiding in the bushes. Officers arrested Walker, Montalvo and Sylvestre and charged them with burglary and grand theft.
Boca Raton, FL – On January 15, Boca Raton Police officers received a report of fraudulent purchases made on the victim’s credit card in various places, but the victim believed the theft of his credit card information occurred at the McDonalds at 701 West Yamato Road. The victim told officers he comes to Boca Raton on a weekly basis and routinely eats at McDonalds where he pays with his debit card. Investigating officers contacted the manager of McDonalds and he checked their video during the timeframes provided by the victim. When the manager reviewed the video, he discovered the employee working the drive-thru, Percival James, appeared to be acting suspiciously after he swiped customer’s cards. The manager told officers he had recently been contacted by several customers who also had their credit card information taken and used fraudulently. Officers met with the manticipation in an identity theft tax refund scheme. ager and viewed the surveil-
Boca Raton Hospital Employee Among Those Charged for Identify Theft By South Florida Business Journal Federal authorities this week charged eight people with identity theft for filing fraudulent federal tax refunds in five separate cases, including that of a former Boca Raton Regional Hospital scheduler. Shalamar Major had access to the personal information of the hospital’s patients and gave it to Tanisha Wright in exchange for the promise of future payments, according to a federal indictment against both of them. Wright allegedly used that information to file 57 fraudulent tax returns seeking $306,720 in refunds. She received the money on debit cards and split the proceeds with Major, according to the charges. The other people charged were: • Nael Dawud Sammour, accused of filing 75 fraudulent returns seeking $750,369 in refunds. • Christopher Rosier and Jeffrey Rosier, accused of seeking $53,976 in fraudulent tax refunds. • Fednol Pierre and Jeanson Pata, accused of stealing six tax refund payments totaling $52,536. • Jahed Movlayazdanpahi, charged with three counts of par-
The arrests were announced by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, the IRS, the Secret Service, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies. Florida had the highest rate of identity theft in the U.S. in 2011 at 178 complaints per 100,000 residents, but it was even worse in Miami at 324 complaints, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The per capita number of false tax returns in the City of Miami was 46 times the national average, according to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. “Identity theft tax refund fraud has spread through South Florida like a virus,” U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer said in a news release. “Since the creation of the Strike Force, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has charged 113 defendants responsible for approximately $92 million in stolen identity refund fraud. We will continue to crack down on identity thieves who are lining their pockets with our tax dollars by stealing the personal identification information of others.”
lance video, which showed James swiping the victims’ credit cards on the McDonalds system then swiping them again on a small, black device. Officers then spoke with James, who told them he had been approached several months ago by two unknown subjects who asked if he wanted to skim customer’s credit cards to make some extra money. James told officers he would skim the credit cards then meet up with them periodically to exchange the device for the cash and he had done this about three times. Officers arrested James and when they searched him, they located the skimming device in a pocket. Officers charged James with using a scanning device to defraud, possession of credit card making equipment, and identity fraud. If anyone believes their credit card information was skimmed at this McDonalds, please call Detective John Turek at (561) 620-6148.
Burglary suspects caught on camera Boca Raton, FL – For one Boca Raton resident, installing a high definition security camera in his house paid off, literally hours after it was activated. On January 31st, resident Mark Dettman set up a motion camera on a table next to his front door facing the living room. He turned it on and set his cell phone to alert him if any motion was detected in the house. Three hours after activating it, Dettman received an alert that his motion detector was activated. He returned to his house on SW 11th Street and checked all the rooms; while nothing appeared to be missing, he did capture the two burglars on his new camera.

A nearby neighbor said she saw a red car drive slowly past Dettman’s house a couple of weeks earlier. After seeing the video, the neighbor confirmed it was the same person she saw in Dettman’s yard. The suspects appear to be Latin males in their 30’s, wearing white shirts and blue jeans with black gloves. One suspect was wearing a white dust mask, white hat and carrying an object that appeared to be a pry tool. Anyone with any information is asked to call Detective Terrence Payne at 561-620-6221 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS. February 8, through February 14, 2013

Dolphins Stadium Bill Gets Florida Senate Committee Approval By Sunshine State News and South Florida Business Journal A bill drafted by the Miami Dolphins to give them up to $3 million per year in state money to help fund a renovation of Sun Life Stadium cleared its first hurdle Tuesday morning, passing the Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee by an 11-0 vote. State Sen. Oscar Braynon, DMiami Gardens, and Rep. Eduardo Gonzalez, R-Hialeah, have sponsored bills (HB-165 and SB-306) that begin the discussion on whether the state would allow taxes to be directed to help stadium upgrades. The legislation casts a wide net, offering a $3 million tax rebate annually to a sports team that is undertaking a $250 million stadium upgrade, as long as the team owner is paying a minimum of $125 million, according to the bills. In Stephen Ross’ case, he has offered to pay $200 million out of his own
pocket. The bills could also grant MiamiDade County the authority to raise the cap on the mainland hotel tax to 7 percent from 6 percent. Ross has said that the purpose of the upgrade is to continue to attract Super Bowls and to seriously compete against the San Francisco 49ers’ future $1.2 billion stadium and the Houston Texans’ Reliant Stadium for the National Football League’s 50th Super Bowl in 2016. An improved stadium would also guarantee the Dolphins play at Sun Life Stadium until at least 2034, he has said. Supporters of the proposal include Donald Trump, owner of the Doral Golf Resort & Spa. Opponents include car dealer Norman Braman, who characterizes the push by Ross as welfare for a billionaire. Next up for the bill in the Senate The state Senate’s Commerce and Tourism Committee voted to approve a bill that could is the Appropriates Subcommittee provide as much as $200 million in state and county dollars toward upgrades to the on Finance and Tax, with no date stadium where the Miami Dolphins play. set for the hearing.

CARLO BARBIERI By Carlo Barbieri
Second American Civil War Could Be Psychological Conflict The Civil War that pitted the North and the South against each other during the early 1860s was, without doubt, a bloody encounter, with brother fighting brother over the barrel of a rifle or amid the cannon fire of a battlefield. The bitter irony of that conflict was the fact that a single major issue – the fate of slavery – was the overriding reason for the bloody fighting. If there is a second American Civil War – and this column has previously speculated on that possibility– it is likely to be a psychological conflict and not a war with guns and bombs. Still, even psychological warfare can have a traumatic impact on this nation. America hoped that the November 2012 election would give some glimmer of a brighter future and even an eventual end to the terrible economic troubles that have stricken this nation since at least 2007. The re-election of Barack Obama by a couple of percentage points over Mitt Romney leaves many in the US wondering if the next four years will simply be a repeat of the past four. This is where some of the psychological aspects come in. During his campaign, and in his recent inaugural address, President Obama addressed some of the questions that have plagued various segments of the population. But we wonder if those questions have been answered to the best of his ability – and to the liking of the American people. In other words, are their minds secure in what he predicts for the future? Barely two months have passed since Mr. Obama won re-election, and yet he has done little to bring peace to the minds of many, particularly those in the middle class, the ones he promised during his election not to hurt. The protracted discussion and lengthy period of inaction over the socalled “fiscal cliff ” brought nothing but continuing angst to the entire population. The wealthy wondered if they would be hammered with much higher taxes. But even the middle class, it appeared, was going to be stricken with new and heavy taxes – on top of the sacrifices they have made during the past few years. The argument over the fiscal cliff ended with a false sense of security when federal legislators and Mr. Obama announced a temporary settlement around the time of the New Year. Still, despite the huzzahs and the back-slapping among official Washington, the Business News
middle-class didn’t get away unscathed. With the new year came a new tax – a higher payroll tax. So the promise that the middle class would not be hurt was breeched. Like citizens, businesses also wonder what 2013 and the President’s new term will bring. As Mr. Obama inflicts his own brand of psychological warfare on them – leaving them in the dark about his plans for the future – they will not hasten to create jobs or start hiring until they know how their financial coffers will be affected. In essence, both the people of America and the businesses of the USA are both being held hostage as 2013 continues into its second month. The current administration seems to be heaping insecurity and uncertainty on top of class warfare that began during the past few years. We have spoken about how President Obama has created a “nanny” state made up of people dependent on government doles to survive. This includes the so-called “cradle to grave” assistance that substitutes welfare for the American dream. This “subservient” class likely has or will soon have what the middle class has worked and sacrificed to get. At the same time, the Obama White House has declared its own “war” on the rich, declaring that they owe more of their “share” in money to US coffers. In the same breath, success has been declared to be bad and initiative is frowned upon. So where is the middle class to turn?

In a fictional essay published in Small Wars Journal magazine, a team of experts bring forth an argument that ongoing economic unrest and political division within the US population could cause a civil war to erupt in the United States in only a few years’ time. The essay, “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future,” is in no way represented as a piece of pure truth, but its writers suggest that a civil war could happen much sooner than Americans may think if certain conditions occurring in the country today persist into the next few years. This also brings Mr. Obama to a crossroads. Will he allow the status quo to continue, endangering the nation’s peace of mind? Or will he show leadership and finally work with Republicans for the good of all people, and all classes?

2013 NASL Combine Recap Story by: Pedro Heizer The 2013 NASL Combine which is recognized as a leading pathway to playing professional soccer in the region was held this past weekend at Lockhart Stadium, home of the NASL’s Fort Lauderdale Strikers. Last season alone, almost 15% of its 2012 Combine ended up on NASL rosters at the opening of the season. In the opening game of the Combine the Red team drew 2-2 with the Blue team. New Zealand Youth International Tom Jackson struck twice for Red, the first coming off an efficient cross from Kendall Sealy and the second coming after some excellent build up play in the area. For the Blue team goals came from Andres Vargas and Juan Gonzalez. Blue was led in the attack by the cultured midfield play of Laurent Merlin, a former Olympique Marseille and Chivas USA midfield. James Mack, formerly of the Charleston Battery also stood out in the match for the Blue team. The second game featured former Barclays Premier League Best XI and France World Cup Defender Pascal Chimbonda. The match flowed nicely in the first half with chances for both teams. The breakthrough for the Green team finally came in minute sixty three when Steven Miller finished an opportunity. Just minutes later, the White team equalized thanks to former FCM Aubervilliers midfielder Ferrety Sousa. “I thought the first game was a typical first day of a combine game, but as the day went on, but the second game I thought was much better and those guys really got after it especially in the first half. I think the level was quite good, “ Fort Lauderdale Strikers Head Coach Daryl Shore. Ricky Hill Head Coach of the NASL Champion Tampa Bay Rowdies said “we have nice playing conditions here in sunny Fort Lauderdale and the standard has been very good.” On Saturday’s session, Green and Red drew 1-1 in the first match. Sports
Red’s Jesus Toscanini formerly of CD Torque in Uruguay opened the scoring finishing on a low driven cross from former Pittsburgh Riverhound Dawyne Smith. Red had an opportunity to double the lead shortly before halftime as Craig Wilson broke away from Green defense but he was denied by former Dayton Dutch Lion Corey Whisenhunt. In the second half, Green came out strong with former Premier League Best XI and France World Cup veteran Pascal Chimbinda shifting from right back into the middle, solidifying a defense that had been opened up in the first 45. About midway throught the second half, 22 year-old George Tor equalized for Green as the match opened up with chances both ways. The 1-1 final scoreline was a fair reflection of the play. Game two featured five goals in second half action, with Blue drawing White 3-3. Blue struck first with an excellent run and finish by former Charleston Battery midfielder James Mack. The game opened up after halftime when Sean Arters took on three defenders in the box, rounded the keeper and slotted home a clean finish at the near post. With the score 2-0 in favor of Blue, White struck with three consecutive goals in a ten minute period. Goals by Robbie Tice, Mickael Oliveira Barrosa and Uzi Tayou gave White a 3-2 lead. However, Blue equalized when former Chivas USA midfielder Laurent Merlin who was a stand-
out performer again on day two of the combine rounded out the scoring in minute 77, which savaged a draw for the Blue team. Minnesota Stars Head Coach Manny Lagos said “ the level and professionalism (of the combine) was very high and the field is one of the nicest I have seen in the last few years which creates a great setting for the games. We have had a lot of energy on the field today and it has been very impressive.” The 2013 NASL Combine concluded on Sunday afternoon with Blue defeating Green 2-1 and White defeating Red 3-1. Juan Gonzalez opened the scoring for Blue early on in the first match of the day. George Tor who has had a solid week had an opportunity on a breakaway to level the proceedings but put his shot just wide. In the second half Murphy Campbell leveled the score before Andres Vargas tapped in a loose ball
www.bocaratontribune.com
set up by a tight angled deflected shot by Tamba Samba. In the second match of the day White defeated Red 3-1, with former Fort Lauderdale Striker and Atlanta Silverback David Santamaria opening the scoring in minute four for White. Tom Jackson nearly equalized for the Red team a few moments later and Red kept the pressure on with Charles Rodrgiuez equalizing in minute 24. In the second half White scored twice, thanks to Kaoru Forbess low, hard long distance strike and Uzi Tayou’s set piece header. FC Edmonton Head Coach Colin Miller who in his dual role as interim Canadian National Team Manager led his side to a 0-0 result vs. the favored United States on Wednesday remarked on the Combine ” the attitude was good and some good goals scored and some excellent football this weekend.” February 8, through February 14, 2013

Tragedy in Boston Could Mean Joy in Miami By: Matt Pineda There is no mistake that the Boston Celtics have been on the downward spiral ever since LeBron James joined the HEAT in Miami. The Celtics went from going to Game 7 of the NBA Finals in 2010 to losing to Miami in consecutive post-seasons. The Celtics remade their roster in the wake of Ray Allen spurning a Celtic offering and joining the HEAT, adding Jason Terry, Courtney Lee and a string of others. On paper, the Celtics didn’t look too bad, with Jeff Green returning, they seemingly were ready for another run. but the age and chemistry was not right. Boston has struggled all season, and last week received the news during the middle of the game against Miami that their All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo had torn his ACL and will miss the rest of the season. This is devastating news for Boston because Rondo is the one who runs that team and holds it all together. Despite them going 2-0 so far without him, most know the Celtics stand a slim chance against any contender without him. Talk of blowing up the team started to be rumored, and Ainge is listening to offers without seeking them

just yet. Today, the Celtics received news that their first round pick Jared Sullinger will require back surgery and miss the rest of the season. The Celtics may be in disarray. They can’t withstand another injury, and they don’t have a true point guard on their roster. The Celtics may blow things up, or they could make a minor acquisition and position themselves in the playoffs. We aren’t sure. Here’s what we do know that favors Miami. Despite their loss to the Celtics without Rondo, the HEAT are huge favorites over Boston in a playoff series without Rajon Rondo. Mostly, Rondo was the one who gave Miami the most headaches. This eliminates a severe threat the HEAT would need to worry about. Secondly, if the Celtics do implode and miss the playoffs, their likely replacement would be the Philadelphia 76ers who are only 3 games back. The Sixers are waiting on Andrew Bynum to return, if he does, to be a threat to anyone. Here’s how this helps Miami: 1. The Sixers have been owned by Miami since LeBron joined the HEAT. The Sixers want to play the style of
basketball that favors Miami, and this is good. Bynum could be a problem, but if Miami stays #1 and Philly is #8, should be an easy round for the HEAT. 2. If the Sixers make the playoffs, the HEAT receive their first round pick (from 2012 draft night trade). If Philly is an #8, the pick would be around number 15 or 16. This could result in someone like 6’11 Mason Plumlee

from Duke. Or Archie Goodwin from Kentucky, maybe even Trey Burke from Minnesota. For all that it’s worth; maybe they draft Tim Hardaway Jr! Miami could really use a good draft pick, and that could be huge for them moving forward into luxury tax time. Keep an eye on the race between Boston and Philly because it impacts the HEAT in so many ways.
