Sculpture Garden’s Centerpiece a Symbol of Strength and Unity

A new dedicated symbol of Jewish strength now greets visitors to B’nai Torah Congregation.

Artist Yaacov Heller, of Gallery 22, built an 8-foot menorah that is now the central part of the new “Weiner Rosenberg Family Sculpture Garden”, dedicated in the memory of Eleanor Weiner.

The menorah is the center of the sculpture garden, which will be used to teach future students of the B’nai Torah Congregation the rich Jewish heritage.

The sculpture is all bronze, however the menorah has a wood-look to it as to represent that all are from on branch and are all connected. The base of the menorah lies the original 12 tribes of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issacher, Zebulun, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Ephraimand, and Manesseh.

The seven-branched candelabrum is symbolically guarded by two Lions of Judah on a granite pedestal and is located in a new meditation area.

The whole idea for the project began in July 2013 when Paul Weiner came in to Gallery 22 and reminded Heller of the last time he was in one of his galleries. The last time Paul and his late wife Eleanor visited Heller was back in Jerusalem, Israel at 22 King David St, diagonally across the infamous King David Hotel.

Boca Raton Walkathon to Raise Public Awareness of Armenian Genocide The Walk Against Genocide, a two-mile walk which will take place Saturday, April 12 at Mizner Park, is organized by the Armenian Genocide Commemoration (AGC) Inc., a nonprofit organization comprised of representatives from various Armenian American organizations and churches in South Florida. The mission of the AGC is to educate the public about the first genocide of the 20th century — and that genocide continues to occur in modern times, all over the world. In the past few weeks, Armenians have watched history repeat itself as foreign Islamic extremists sacked the predominantly Christian Armenian town of Kessab, Syria, displacing thousands of peaceful Armenians.

Arsine Kaloustian-Rosenthal, AGC’s Public Relations Director, explained: “The Armenian American community usually finds itself commemorating the genocide within its own confines. However, with the 100th anniversary one year away, there seems to be a stirring in Armenian communities all over the world. By planning highly visible events such as this walkathon, we are throwing open the door to all who wish to learn more about us, our culture, and the genocide that took our ancestors from us. As the saying goes, ‘all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ We must raise our voices together to condemn not only the Armenian Genocide but also the Holocaust, the Assyrian, Greek, Ukrainian, Cambodian, Rwandan and Darfur genocides, among others.”

Today, the Armenian Genocide remains the second-most studied genocide event, after the better-known Jewish Holocaust

of World War II. In fact, when Adolf Hitler was asked how the world would respond to his “Final Solution” plan --the extermination of the Jewish people in Europe --- he replied, without compunction: “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire, has yet to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, despite repeated calls from historians and world leaders. Over 20 countries and 40 U.S. States officially recognize the Armenian Genocide committed by Turkey, including the State of Florida.

David Silvers, Candidate for Florida House District 89, will be speaking at the event and has stated “It is important to acknowledge both the suffering and the resilience of our fellow world citizens.

Recognition of Turkey’s atrocities toward the Armenian people in 1915 is a necessary step in that process. An injury to one is an injury to us all.”

A traditional Armenian performance by renowned musicians Joe Zeytoonian and Myriam Eli will take place following the walk, and food and refreshments will be provided.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., while the walk starts at 8:30 a.m. at the Mizner Park Amphitheater, located at 590 Plaza Real in Boca Raton.

Registration for the Walk Against Genocide is $19.15, including a T-shirt and a bottle of water. Children under eight years old may participate for free. To learn more, sponsor a walker, make a donation or sign up for the event, please visit http://www. walkagainstgenocide.com.

Boca Educator Named Teacher Of The Year

This year is busy at Sandpiper Shores for Michelle Gunning as she continues to collaborate to develop lessons with classroom teachers, to manage the student morning news show, and to organize the “Horse Tales Literacy Project” with all firstgrade teachers and students. Mrs. Gunning also initiated the Reading Counts program and incentives.

Rachel Capitano, Sandpiper Shores Principal said, “In six short months, Mrs. Gunning updated the technology in the library and the library collection by organizing three fundraisers for new books.

She managed the fall and spring book fairs, increasing profit by more than 20%.

Michelle enjoys keeping students engaged at the fairs by dressing up as Harry Potter, Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and other fun characters such as Pinkalicious.”

With an increased library, Mrs. Gunning sponsored 52 Battle of the Books teams and sponsors Book Club, Lego Club, Nook Book Club and the Comic Book Club. She initiated a Reading Buddy Program with

West Boca High School and a Pen Pal Program with Waters Edge Elementary.

Bonnie Fox, Mrs. Gunning’s former principal, said, “Many of Michelle’s greatest contributions came as a result of her talents as a writing coach.”

Ms. Fox concluded that, “Mrs. Gunning taught most of the eighth grade students and most definitely was personally responsible for an increase in scores for all levels of students at Odyssey Middle School.”

Mrs. Gunning’s career includes 12 years of teaching students at the high school level, middle school level and elementary level.

Mrs. Gunning believes that as a teacher, her role is “to inspire a love of learning and a love for our fellow man.”

As Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Gunning will receive a cash award of $1000 through funds contributed through District business partnerships. The Macy’s Foundation also presents each District Teacher of the Year a cash award of $1000, of which $250 goes to the teacher’s school. As Palm Beach County’s Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Gunning represents the District in the Florida Department of Education-Macy’s Teacher of the Year Roundtable. The Roundtable affords Teachers of the Year the opportunity to network with colleagues, share ideas, and provide input on educational issues of state and national importance.

The Journey Church Offering 50 Cents Off Per Gallon Saturday, April 12

After a tremendous response to their “Gas Buy Down” in 2013, The Journey Church of Boca Raton is again offering the community $0.50 off per gallon on gasoline on Saturday, April 12.

The Journey’s “Gas Buy Down” will take place this Saturday, April 12, 11:00am - 1:00pm, at the Valero Gas Station located

Community News

at 1380 N. Federal Highway in Boca R a t o n (just north of Glades Road).

T h e church will buy down the price of gas by $0.50/ gallon for as many people as possible during the two hour time frame between 11:00am and 1:00pm, giving drivers the opportunity to take advantage of the lowest gasoline prices in the region.

“After the opportunity to share God’s love in such a practical way last year, we decided to offer another Gas Buy Down this

year,” said Nelson Searcy, Lead Pastor of The Journey Church. “Since rising gas prices remain a consistent source of financial strain, this has been a great way to be a blessing to the people of our community.”

Volunteers from the three-year-old church will be on hand to pump gas and give a break to the wallets of members of the community.

The Journey is a new church in Boca Raton, featuring services each Sunday with casual dress, rockin’ music and practical teaching.

This community outreach opportunity connects nicely with the Easter season.

The Gas Buy Down is far from the first time The Journey will be serving the community.

In its first three years, The Journey has successfully partnered with Boca Helping Hands and 4KIDS of

www.bocaratontribune.com

South Florida on outreach projects. Searcy says the church is “always on the lookout for creative ways to make a difference in people’s lives.”

The Journey Church is a casual, contemporary, Christian church that meets each Sunday at 10:30am, at Boca Raton Community High School (just off Glades Road at I-95, exit 45). Since its beginning in February 2011, The Journey has grown to a congregation of several hundred that meet each week.

Boca Woman Among Madoff employees found guilty in conspiracy case

By CRA News Service A Boca Raton resident was among five former aides to investment manager Bernard Madoff who were recently convicted of charges that they helped their boss run the biggest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history, a $17.5 billion fraud exposed by the 2008 financial crisis.

A federal jury in New York found portfolio managers Annette Bongiorno and Joann Crupi, back-office director Daniel Bonventre, and computer programmers Jerome O’Hara and George Perez guilty on all counts, including securities fraud and conspiracy to defraud clients.

The three men and two women, hired by Madoff with little or no financial experience, failed to convince the jury in Manhattan they were ignorant of Madoff ’s fraud while being part of the inner circle at his New Yorkbased firm.

The trial lasted more than five months.

The defendants will be sentenced in late July.

‘These five defendants played crucial roles in constructing and maintaining the house of cards that was the Madoff investment fraud,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. “The scheme these defendants helped perpetrate cost innumerable investors their life savings.

Now it likely will cost the defendants their freedom.”

Roland Riopelle, a lawyer for Bongiorno,

said in an e-mail that he was “saddened” by the verdict and will appeal. Gordon Mehler, a lawyer for O’Hara, declined to comment on the verdict.

Bongiorno was hired in 1968, when she was 19. Bonventre and Crupi joined in their early 20s. O’Hara and Perez, both hired in the 1990s, said they didn’t have experience in the securities industry before then.

The defense also called attention to the youth and inexperience of the workers when they joined Madoff ’s firm, saying it explained their ignorance. Bongiorno testified that she spent years recording trades for Madoff that didn’t exist, without truly understanding what she was doing. “[Madoff] told me what to do,” she said.

“I typed.”

Bongiorno also claimed that she didn’t know what the S&P 500 Index was, even though she admittedly spent years staring at a Bloomberg terminal as she backdated years’ worth of fictional trades.

Madoff, 75, is serving a 150-year-prison sentence after pleading guilty in March 2009 to charges stemming from a Ponzi scheme that is estimated to have cost investors more than $17 billion of principal. He was arrested in December 2008.

Nine other people have pleaded guilty in connection with Madoff ’s fraud, some of whom testified at the trial as cooperating government witnesses.

As the verdict was read in court, there was no visible reaction from the defendants, who faced among them a total of 31 counts from securities fraud to tax evasion.

The list of Bernard Madoff ’s victims now includes these five former employees, Andrew Frisch, a lawyer for Bonventre, said after the verdict, adding that he plans to appeal.

At the trial, prosecutors introduced as evidence thousands of pages of internal documents seized from Madoff ’s investment firm and called dozens of witnesses.

Madoff ’s right-hand man, Frank DiPascali, testified as part of a plea deal with the government and implicated each of the five defendants in the fraud. Defense lawyers urged the jury to disregard his testimony, calling him an inveterate liar desperate to avoid a lifelong prison term.

But several jurors interviewed after the verdict said they found DiPascali credible.

“It was pretty captivating,” said Sheila Amato, an art teacher.

Jurors scoffed at the testimony of Bongiorno and Bonventre, who surprised trail watchers by taking the stand in their own defense and denying knowing about any fraud.

“They should be embarrassed,” said Nancy Goldberg, an instructional assistant for at-risk public school students. She said their testimony was simply not believable.

While there was little dispute that various defendants engaged in activities such as backdating fake trades and creating false documents, the case turned on whether they knew at the time that they were aiding Madoff ’s fraud.

The defendants had said Madoff duped them into becoming unwitting accomplices.

Madoff, they said, created silos inside the firm to ensure that no aide could see the entire picture and used his considerable charm to keep them in the dark.

“Why wouldn’t she believe him?’

Riopelle, the lawyer for Bongiorno, said during his closing argument, arguing that Madoff convinced her that backdating trades was allowed. “He was the head of the firm and the chairman of NASDAQ. She was by design, by Mr. Madoff ’s design, living in her own little bubble.”

But prosecutors pointed to reams of documents, many featuring handwritten notes from the defendants, as clear evidence the defendants knew what was happening.

The notion that these defendants didn’t know the trading was fake is an absurdity, Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall Jackson said at the end of the trial.

Asked whether the defense could have anything differently, Eric Breslin, a lawyer for Crupi, said, “Madoff was a tall mountain to climb.”

Sandy Grossman, Boca Resident, Acclaimed Sports TV Director, Dies

By Rachel Cohen

CROSS ROADS APRIL 17TH, 2014 7PM-10PM Come join us for a night of fellowship, music, fun, and life changing study.

Sandy Grossman, who directed a record 10 Super Bowl broadcasts and spent more than two decades in the TV truck working with announcers Pat Summerall and John Madden, died Wednesday at his home in Boca Raton. He was 78.

Mr. Grossman died of cancer, his son Dean said.

“He could just make magic,” Madden told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

When Madden, the former coach, watched film and practices to prepare for calling games, Mr. Grossman was right beside him. That homework paid off when the analyst would make a point on air and the director would immediately pull up the right clip to illustrate it.

“His amazing directorial talents on the NFL truly distinguished him as one of the great directors in the history of sports television,” CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said.

Mr. Grossman also directed 18 NBA Finals and five Stanley Cup Finals. He won eight Emmys.

“He was a brilliant director and a thoughtful colleague,” Fox Sports President Eric Shanks said. “He mentored many of us here and throughout the sports TV industry, and we learned more from him than he could imagine.”

His innovations included using music to go into the break during basketball games.

After Mr. Grossman played “The Hustle”

www.bocaratontribune.com

by Van McCoy, his son recalled, sales of the song skyrocketed, so the musician sent him gold records as a thank you.

Visitors to his TV truck over the years included Richard Nixon and Oliver Stone, Dean Grossman said.

“If there wasn’t an envelope to push, Sandy would create one,” said former Fox Sports Chairman David Hill, a senior executive vice president for News Corp.

As Madden put it, “He had guts.”

With producer Bob Stenner, Mr. Grossman guided the celebrated partnership of Summerall and Madden, first at CBS then after their move to Fox. The understated style of Summerall, who died last April, paired with Madden’s booming enthusiasm became the soundtrack of the NFL’s expanding popularity.

“They created a behind-the-curtain team which equaled the legendary front-of-house team of Pat Summerall and John Madden,” Hill said. “Watch any NFL game, and you will see Sandy Grossman’s legacy. He was a legend.”

He embraced watching game film as a director before that was standard practice.

Madden recalled how Mr. Grossman began isolating a camera on linemen so the analyst could delve into the nuances of the game.

All that preparation made Mr. Grossman like a successful defensive coordinator who’s ready to handle anything the offense brings, Madden said. In his case, that meant sharp, seamless broadcasts.

“I’ll see some old games he did, and they still hold up,” Madden said.

Mr. Grossman is survived by his wife of 51 years, Faithe, four children and eight grandchildren.

The First Time

By Clay Robinson When working with young adults, I try to help them prepare for a wide variety of issues that may occur at some point in life. While listening to an old familiar song on the radio the other day, I began to reflect on my own life. As my thoughts bounced from the good and the not so good, I reflected back on some of the conversations I’ve had during group sessions. I thought about the variances between males and females and how our early experiences set a path for both parties base on our first encounter, be it love or lust.

The first time is based on different things for all of us, yet the outcomes can be so similar. What was your first time like? Were you in love, thinking that he/ she was perfect for you and you felt like this was the beginning of the rest of your life? Or was it a sexual conquest with no intentions of maintaining a relationship? It really doesn’t matter what our individual reasoning was, the thing that matters most is the outcome.

As you reflect now, what would you have done differently?

Exactly what is expected from two young people in their teens or early twenties? Personally, I don’t know many young males or females that truly have an extended outlook on life. Most young people naturally see things short term.

The first time can be long term whether

you want it to be or not. Aside from a child that is brought into a relationship doomed to fail, there are also emotional consequences. Sometimes the first time leaves a person so hurt that they turn to drugs or alcohol; they feel worthless, become abusive to themselves or to others. There are far too many poor choices to address at this time, but these are some of the many things to think about. Don’t get me wrong, being negatively impacted by an intimate relationship can happen at any age, but sometimes depending on our age and life experiences, we may be better equipped mentally to handle those situations.

I remember when I was 17 years old my brother Al, age 19, was close friends with a young man by the name of Bill.

Bill was a very bright young man who did well in school and came from a good family. He fell in love for the first time at age 19 and his first time turned out to be his last. When the relationship with the young lady didn’t work out, Bill put a shot gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. His father found his body.

I have also been told countless other stories of young love going wrong and ending up in everything from assaults to suicide when those relationships are coming to an end or have already ended.

And of course let’s not forget all of the single parent situations and kids living in poverty due to those first time love and lust situations.

We never know how things will end, but parents need to educate young people more about love and lust. I know it’s sometimes hard to make them understand the ramifications of not looking past the now and into the future, especially when they truly believe that this is their future.

When they can’t see past the point of this love relationship or simply the lust they feel at that moment, just remind them that a lifetime can depend on the very first time!

Letters to the Editor Good Evening. My name is Mark Seigel and my address is 99 SE Mizner Blvd.

Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to share my experience with certain behavior harming the welcoming, respectful community that we aim to protect. Such harm emanates from a restaurant known as 101 Cantina (located at 133 SE Mizner Blvd), which, through its improper and unlawful actions, is degrading its neighbors’ quality of life. .

In 2011, when forming my business, Veritas Financial Partners, I chose to locate it in Boca Raton, because of the business-friendly environment and sophisticated employment base. We started in a small office, and we experienced the ups and downs that my fellow small business owners know well. As I stand here today, I can proudly say that we are achieving record profitability, employ 6 residents and stimulate our local economy through use of local vendors.

I don’t tell you this to brag. I tell you this because it is a story that all of us share.

Each one of us, God-willing, is here in Boca Raton because this is where we want to be. We want to practice our trades, raise our families and support the prosperity of a community that we love in a manner that is respectful to one another. That is the very foundation of our community.

I chose to live in Boca Raton for many of the same reasons that I chose to establish my business here: friendly people, culture, pristine city-developed parks, fantastic restaurants and other entertainment. I specifically chose a building called Palmetto Place, to be centrally located to these attractions, and I still love the neighborhood in which I call home.

For the last 9 months, however, the peace and respect that are cornerstones of our community have been upended and egregiously violated by 101 Cantina, whose disrespectful and unlawful behavior has marred our great city’s value system. 101 Cantina operates as a raucous drinking establishment for college students--- many of whom, according to public records, are below the legal drinking age. It has assaulted our community with obnoxious music, intoxicated customers, and violent situations that have required significant police intervention.

I have personally witnessed young men and women driving their cars into surrounding parking lots to consume copious amounts of alcohol in an activity referred to as “pre-gaming” prior to walking into Cantina. I am also aware of certain underage individuals who patronize Cantina specifically because they are able to be served. And I am painfully aware of the constant barrage of noise pollution and police lights. I wish that 101 Cantina’s conduct were limited to the weekends, but in fact it remains perhaps best known for an event it calls “Techno Tuesday”, which it robustly advertises as a rave music environment, with a main draw being that alcohol is free from 10pm-11pm.

One need only peruse 101 Cantina’s own marketing materials on its public Twitter account to see the excessive debauchery that it aims to promote: • March 13: “What organization would like a FREE keg tomorrow?” – with organization being a direct reference to Greek fraternities and sororities at FAU • March 4: “Boobs for beads at 101 Cantina. Come & Get it Ya Spring Breakers!” – a reference to a Mardis Gras themed party in which female participants are encouraged to expose themselves in exchange for beaded jewelry • Feb 16: “Free Tequila Shots on the Hour” - a reference to their Sunday tradition I believe that every business should have the chance to attract customers, but I don’t believe this should come at well-being of the community. Through its runins with law enforcement, 101 Cantina has been given more than its fair share of chances to operate in manner that is not adverse to its neighbors, and time and time again, it has proven itself to be a pariah with respect to the values of the people of Boca Raton. I humbly ask the City Council to take action to remedy this situation and protect the home that we all share from this disruptive and disrespectful actor.

Thank you.

Mark Seigel

INTEGRETY MOMENTS

By Rick Boxx

Pitfalls Of Instant Success In these days when gloom and doom seem to attract attention, when negative news receives so much coverage, our own focus is often directed toward the fear of failure. But what happens when we achieve success - too much success?

With the so-called “viral” nature of the Internet, in which an idea can achieve almost instantaneous, global saturation enhanced by the 24/7 access available to us - many people have become rich or famous in a very short period of time.

A couple of years ago, for instance, a man produced a video that captured worldwide attention, reportedly reaching 100 million people in a single week. How would you like to experience that kind of success?

In this individual’s case, he discovered unimagined success can be vastly overrated. His unrestrained attempt to capture and leverage this instant success led to extreme exhaustion and a public

meltdown. Regrettably, this resulted in damaging the very cause he was promoting.

We can think of many other examples of successful people that ultimately failed: Entertainers who became household names overnight, only to let success go to their heads and just as quickly become forgotten; business executives who tried to take ethical shortcuts to perpetuate success; star athletes whose careers were like shooting stars, visible one minute but disappearing the next.

Many of us, with enough hard work and determination, will experience periods in life when success, exciting opportunities, and even wealth can tempt us to push beyond our limits.

Fearful of having a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away, never to return, we press beyond our mental and physical capacities. We could end up like

the Internet entrepreneur, exhausted and publicly humiliated. Or we could cause irreparable harm to important relationships, not only where we work but also in our homes.

If success grabs you unexpectedly, pace yourself. Restraint will result in a healthier and better long-term result.

The Bible offers wisdom we should consider: Practice restraint. Caught up in the moment, when success seems like the snowball rolling downhill, picking up speed and size, we feel inclined to ride along.

Momentum can become intoxicating.

However, Proverbs 23:4 teaches, “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.”

Prepare for the future. When we taste success, it becomes easy to assume it will last forever. In reality, however, today’s hot trend becomes tomorrow’s

afterthought. A better approach is to use success as a springboard for long-term prosperity.

Seriously consider issues such as, how fast should we grow? Can we keep pace with the demand if it continues?

Jesus said, “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?”

(Luke 14:28).

Prevent ego buildup. Success can lead to an inflated sense of self. That is a dangerous trap, one we can avoid only when we anticipate it in advance. In Romans 12:3, the apostle Paul advised his readers, “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.”

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

The Value of Friendships Persons who don’t care for other people, have a hard time understanding that friendships can be genuine and lasting; they are also cherished by those who make a sincere effort to establish and maintain them.

Regardless of geographical distances separating true friends, their relationships can be just as real as if they resided in the same city, and were able to see one another with some regularity.

Since my childhood I came to learn the true significance of friendships. I have also viewed friends always as divine agents, ready at all times to encourage, ever willing to respond when contacted, and consistently disposed to do whatever they can that will make a difference in another’s life!

Although friendships should always be real, and mutually edifying, there are some which are legitimately temporary, due to circumstances that change, geographical barriers that develop, and on account of the completion of joint

tasks which made those friendships initially possible, but mostly for that limited duration.

Nevertheless, even when certain friendships are momentary, their dissolution does not entail enmity; it simply indicates that its purposes were fulfilled and the remembrance shall remain with its participants.

Furthermore, it can be renewed at any point and develop into new and better levels!

One of the greatest values of true friendship is in what a friend can do for another friend, without expecting equal or greater favors to be repaid.

Genuine friendships look more to what can be provided than to what may be personally advantageous. Yet, many “fringe” benefits shall always come from friendships established on solid ground and stable foundations!

I never forget hearing a public address in which the speaker alluded to a precious friend of his, of whom he

stated: “Just knowing that he is alive in the world is reason for true rejoicing.” And so it should be. I am perpetually blessed by friendships I still hold in different parts of the world in spite of infrequent personal contacts. Nevertheless, they are very real, and that’s what counts most!

Having said that, I still recommend that friendships, at any stage of their

development, be always treated as a tender plant in need of nourishment and other elements which can make it thrive and grow. In so doing, let us ever remember that it’s not so much what we can derive from it but, far more, what we can impart to those friends, anywhere in the globe!

An Exhibition of ‘‘World Tour of Landscapes’’

By Juliana Bo The exhibition, from which part of proceeds are to benefit Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, kicks off with a private cocktail reception from 5-7pm on Thursday, April 3rd.

“We’re honored to be hosting this striking exhibition of exotic landscapes by photographer Juliana Bo,” said Marisela Cotilla, Managing Broker of the Boca Raton office at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. “Coming into Douglas Elliman Real Estate in April while these fabulous photographs are on display will be like taking a luxurious world tour,” she added. To contact Marisela Cotilla, please email her at Marisela.Cotilla@ elliman.com or call 561-245-2634.

Juliana’s appreciation for landscapes began in the Czech Republic, where she undertook many hiking and camping trips. After graduating from high school in 2000, Juliana Bo moved to the United States and began her American journey in New York City.

The exhibition will feature landscapes she photographed while traveling across America, Europe, Australia, South America, Antarctica and the Caribbean over the last decade, making a few

detours to exotic islands such as Hawaii, Fiji and Bora Bora.

Some of Juliana’s landscapes can be viewed on her website www.

JulianaBoPhotography.com.

“When it comes to inspiration, Juliana points to renowned landscape photographer Peter Lik, whom she met while in the field in Maui in August 2013.

Now a resident of Florida, she also admires the works and Floridian styles of Alan Maltz and Clyde Butcher,” said Mazzone.

Among the landscapes to be displayed at the exhibition are “Tranquility Lake” in Lake Tahoe, CA, “Reflections of Dawn,” in Molokai, HI, “Majestic Reflections” in Yosemite, CA, “Golden beach” in Lanai, HI and “Dawn of Time” in Utah. The “Dawn of Time” piece will be shown majestically on Times Square next month in New York City.

Other works to be presented are “Tahiti Triangles” in Bora Bora, “12 Apostles” in Australia and “Buon Giorno” in Venice, Italy.

Sculpture Garden’s Centerpiece a Symbol of Strength and Unity

A new dedicated symbol of Jewish strength now greets visitors to B’nai Torah Congregation.

Artist Yaacov Heller, of Gallery 22, built an 8-foot menorah that is now the central part of the new “Weiner Rosenberg Family Sculpture Garden”, dedicated in the memory of Eleanor Weiner.

The menorah is the center of the sculpture garden, which will be used to teach future students of the B’nai Torah Congregation the rich Jewish heritage.

The sculpture is all bronze, however the menorah has a wood-look to it as to represent that all are from on branch and are all connected. The base of the menorah lies the original 12 tribes of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issacher, Zebulun, Benjamin,

Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Ephraimand, and Manesseh.

The seven-branched candelabrum is symbolically guarded by two Lions of Judah on a granite pedestal and is located in a new meditation area.

The whole idea for the project began in July 2013 when Paul Weiner came in to Gallery 22 and reminded Heller of the last time he was in one of his galleries. The last time Paul and his late wife Eleanor visited Heller was back in Jerusalem, Israel at 22 King David St, diagonally across the infamous King David Hotel.

Weiner wanted to memorialize Eleanor with a gift to his congregation B’nai Torah.

“Paul wanted to give his congregation a gift; a large bronze menorah,” recalls Heller.

“He chose several different menorahs which he then showed Rabbi David Steinhardt.

They decided on the Lions of Judah Menorah. I then asked for the help of my friend and fellow Rotarian, architect Doug Mummaw who recommended the sight placement after one visionary look at the entrance to B’nai Torah and the project was born.”

Boca man Shot by Deputy, the Second Deputy-Involved Shooting in Days

By Jason Schwartz

A Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s deputy shot and killed a man whom family members say has mental issues after he charged the deputy with a knife, authorities said.

Matthew Troy Pollow, 28, who lived at 23055 Camino Del Mar in the gated Tuscany Pointe subdivision, was pronounced dead at the scene.

It was the second officer-involved shooting in the Boca Del Mar area in less than one week.

“It’s a scary situation to know that was our neighbor,” said Ronald Jane, who has lived in the apartment complex on Post Gardens Way for two years. “It makes you wonder how safe are you really even in a gated community in Boca Raton. You’d think it’s the safest place around.”

Deputies were called to to reports of an “armed disturbance” at the apartment complex, west of Military Trail and north of Southwest 18th Street shortly after 9:30 p.m.

“The responding deputy encountered (Pollow) standing next to a vehicle and ordered him to remove his hands from his pockets,” according to a Sheriff ’s Office report. “The deputy saw that the subject

had a very disturbed look on his face which caused him to draw his firearm.”

The deputy then ordered Pollow to place everything in his pocket on to the hood of the car. Pollow placed several items on the hood including a screw driver, according to the report.

“The Deputy ordered (Pollow) to walk towards him to speak to him, (and Pollow) picked up the screwdriver and charged after the deputy,” according to the report. “The deputy was in fear of being stabbed and feared for his life created some distance between he and the subject and fired his weapon striking (Pollow).”

The deputy has been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure at the Sheriff ’s Office following an officer-involved shooting.

Both the Sheriff ’s Office and Boca Raton Police Department have had previous encounters with Pollow, who graduated from FAU in December 2012 with a degree in marketing, authorities said.

Just days earlier, Deputy Alex Alfonso shot Anthony Ribeiro, 48, at the Reflections of Del Mar development after Ribeiro allegedly brandished a wine bottle in a threatening manner, according to the Sheriff ’s Office. Ribeiro remains in critical condition.

There have been three officer-involved shootings in Palm Beach County this year, all involving sheriff ’s deputies. In 2013, 15 individuals were shot by law enforcement in Palm Beach County with eight involving sheriff ’s deputies.

Kiosk Owner Arrested for Selling Counterfeit Cartier Jewelry The investigator, Eric Berger, told the sergeant that in June, 2013, the company owners were served with a cease and desist letter from the attorneys representing Cartier to stop selling all counterfeit Cartier trademarked items, including the Juste Un Clou nail bracelet. A follow-up visit confirmed that Silver Connection appeared to have removed the counterfeit items, but then more recent information indicated they were selling the items under the counter.

Two undercover investigators from A Action Investigations went to the Silver Connection and were able to purchase a Cartier Juste Un Clou nail bracelet, which was confirmed to be counterfeit. They also took pictures of several plastic bags which appeared to contain Cartier jewelry. The Silver Connection sold the fraudulent bracelet for $84.53 (including tax).

The authentic bracelet retails for $6,850.

On Thursday, March 27 an undercover Boca Raton Police officer and an investigator from A Action Investigations were able to purchase another Cartier Juste Un Clou nail bracelet for $69.00. Based on this information, detectives obtained a search warrant for the

Skimming of ATM’s

The investigation began after the Loss Prevention Specialist at the Publix at 1968 NE 5th Avenue called and advised she observed a skimming device on the ATM. After reviewing the surveillance video, the responding officer noted at least four occasions over a one-week period when an individual goes to the ATM between 1:00 am and 3:00 am, and looked as though he was placing a card reader on the ATM. To date, the Boca Raton Police Services Department has received five reports from victims who had money skimmed from their bank accounts after using one of the two ATM’s in question. The suspect is described as a white male, 30 years of age, dark short hair, wearing a gray hoodie, cargo shorts and a red Texas A&M hat. Detectives request that any possible victims or anyone with information about these cases call the Economic Crimes Unit at 338-1324 or Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS. The Boca Raton Police Crime Prevention Unit encourages ATM users to scan the machines before use to check for unfamiliar components or additions. Criminals attach small cameras that record your pin number and use the encoded information on your card to access your account. Choose an ATM inside a well-lit area and if something doesn’t look right with the ATM or if the keypad doesn’t feel securely attached, stop your transaction and inform the store or bank immediately.

Silver Connection, which was served later that day.

Detectives met with the employee who sold the officer the bracelet and the owner of the business, Hina Singh. The employee admitted she knew of the cease and desist letter and was supposed to refer any customers who asked for Cartier jewelry to Singh. She also said she saw Singh sell the items, but has never sold it herself; unaware that detectives knew she had sold the bracelet to the undercover officer.

Singh told detectives she owns the Silver Connection and another kiosk in the mall called Tressor. Singh admitted to receiving a cease and desist letter from Cartier, but she continued to sell the counterfeit Cartier jewelry. Singh showed detectives the boxes under the counter that contained the counterfeit Cartier jewelry. Berger confirmed the Cartier jewelry found yesterday at the Silver Connection was counterfeit. The estimated retail value of the seized Cartier jewelry (if real) would be over $1,000,000.

Boca Raton detectives arrested Hina Singh and charged her with the selling of counterfeit goods valued at over $20,000.

Brouhaha at Tennis Match Ends in 1 woman getting Head-butt, Another with Sore Ribs By CRA News Service

The wife of former Miami Dolphins and Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter was head-butted Tuesday morning after fighting with another woman at a tennis match, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned.

Melanie Carter, of Boca Raton, was playing in a doubles match at the Seasons of Boca Raton community center around 11:30 a.m. when one of the women on the other team asked for a line judge to clarify a disputed call, according to a police report.

When Carter didn’t agree with the judge’s call — and she and the other player, Kimberly Ann Fox of Parkland, approached each other and started arguing, according to the report.

Carter told officers the Fox, 43, dared her to “hit me” — but then head-butted Carter before she could do anything.

Carter claims the two began to scuffle and wound up on the ground.

Fox corroborated Carter’s report to police but denied head-butting Carter.

She said Carter threw a punch at her first, according to the police report.

Carter received a small cut on her face and knee while Fox was cut on the back of her head and complained of sore ribs.

Boca Raton Fire-Rescue personnel treated both women at the scene.

There were no witnesses and no arrests have been made.

Woman’s Purse Snatched Outside Publix The victim told officers that she and her daughter had just parked their car in the parking aisle on the north side of the lot and were walking towards the front of the store. Before they reached the entrance, an unknown male came up behind them and grabbed the victim’s purse from her hand.

The suspect ran west on Camino Real then crossed the roadway to the Dixie Mobil, where the victim lost sight of him.

The victim went behind the Dixie Mobil and found her purse lying on the ground, with all of the contents dumped out. Her iPhone, cash, and credit cards were missing.

The victim was not injured.

If anyone has information about this crime, they are asked to call Detective Cruz at (561) 338-1320 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS.

Hundreds of Parents Await Arts Charter School Lottery

Savoring The Avenue

By CRA News Service

Within a week after a Delray Beach-based academic-infused arts non-profit charter school announced it would replace the soon-to-be-closing Wellington Christian School, more than 300 people have applied for admission, officials announced today.

Several hundreds of parents are anxiously awaiting the Eagle Arts Academy Charter School of the Arts’ enrollment lottery, which will be held on Saturday, April 12 at 2 p.m. The lottery will be at the Wellington Christian School, 1000 Wellington Trace.

Deadline to enroll for the first lottery is Tuesday, April 8th by 11:59 p.m. Additional lotteries will be held, if necessary.

“There has been tremendous interest in having a performing arts school in this area, as evidenced by the number of applicants we have received – which is now well over 400 applicants,” says school founder Gregory James Blount, an independent producer and talent scout. Blount is an Eagle Scout, the highest honor received from Boy Scouts of America, thus the name of the school. “We’re committed to making sure every parent who wants his or her child to attend our school, gets that opportunity.”

Blount and his executive team have been negotiating with Palm Beach School District officials, preparing for the lottery and hiring staff, including teachers.

During its first year, Eagle Arts Academy was approved to open with nearly 900 students from kindergarten through sixth grade and is now accepting applications. The K-8th charter has been approved for nearly 1,500 students at the end of a threeyear period.

Dr. Liz Knowles, formerly of Pine Crest School, has been selected as Head of School. Knowles, a curriculum and reading specialist and an award-winning educator and author, developed Eagle Arts’ “Artademics” curriculum with Blount. An educator for 40 years, Knowles has experience in cognitive skills development and the International Baccalaureate program.

The school, scheduled to open in August, will focus on a mixture of performing and production arts and offer a cognitive skill development program for all ages, Blount said. The school will be retrofitted with a green screen studio, digital media editing facility, TV studio, plus an acting, dance and vocal studio, with additional improvements expected over the next 18 months. Technology will be infused into all areas of the curriculum to enhance academics, develop creativity, and extend learning through video, animation, and much more.

“We want to make sure these kids are ready for the world. They will learn how important the arts are to education and to the world,” he said. “Studies show that kids who are involved in the arts usually do better in school in all sorts of ways, including academically and socially.”

Blount has already worked to secure industry professionals from both sides of the entertainment industry to conduct specialty workshops for Eagle Arts students.

Rocco’s Tacos Expanding to Atlantic Ave

By Samantha Neeley Rocco’s Tacos, the popular restaurant, known for its Mexican food and 225 varieties of tequila, will be setting up shop on Atlantic Avenue by the end of the year.

Rocco’s Tacos Delray Beach will be located directly on Atlantic Avenue and will feature the restaurants’ signature brand of authentic Mexican cuisine in a colorful atmosphere. In addition to an extensive menu of tacos ($3.25 to $5.35); enchiladas ($14.50 to $15.50); and other Mexican dishes, Rocco’s Tacos boasts an extensive menu of more than 300 tequilas.

The new store joins four other South Florida Rocco’s Tacos in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Gardens as well as one in Orlando. Another is set to open soon at Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale International Airport and in Brooklyn, New York.

Big Time Restaurant Group, which operates Rocco’s, also owns City Oyster, Big City Tavern, Grease and City Cellar.

More than a dozen restaurants along Atlantic Avenue participated in Florida’s largest outdoor dining experience at the sixth annual Savor the Avenue recently.

More than 1,000 people sat at a 1,361-foot table, believed to be the longest in the state, on Atlantic Avenue. The evening began with a cocktail party at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:15 p.m. at the table that ran from Swinton Avenue to U.S. 1. Guests dined on a special three course prixe fixe menu from the participating restaurant of their choice. Dinners include wine pairings and prices varied by restaurant.

Diners paid between $55 and $89 per seat.

Proceeds from the event support The Office Depot Foundation.

Forum Discusses Children with Mental Illnesses

About 60 people shared input on how to keep young people with mental illnesses out of the legal system at a public forum recently.

The community conversation, called It’s “OK to Talk” was held at the Delray Beach Public Library. It was the final of a series of seminars held in three cities across Palm Beach County.

Attendees discussed preventing tragedies

involving young people with mental illnesses like school shootings.

The Mental Health Association of Palm Beach County says one out five young persons have a mental illness, but rarely receive treatment for it.

Experts say those who have a mental illness usually start to struggle with the condition around the age of 14.

The “OK2Talk” community

www.bocaratontribune.com

conversations are part of a bigger action plan that will be unveiled at a county conference later this month.

The event was the Mental Health Association of Palm Beach County way of answering President Obama’s call for communities to get involved and creatively come up with ways to help youth with mental illnesses.

Crosspointe Elementary Exceeds Expectations in Student Achievement

By Bito David

The East Coast Technical Assistance Center has recognized Crosspointe Elementary schools with an Exceeding Expectations Award School. The Sanfordbased group, which works with more than 30 Florida school districts on programs for schools, gives this award to Title I schools, which have a high percentage of poor students, based on a combination of criteria including their FCAT scores, observations and interviews.

Motorists in Florida will get a break in the fees they pay to renew their car registration, although many won’t see the benefit until next year.

The Florida Senate recently unanimously approved a bill (SB 156) that would lower auto tag and registration fees by about $25 a year for many motorists.

Anne M. Gannon, Constitutional Tax Collector, welcomes the rollback and cautions vehicle owners about a section of the legislation that specifically excludes over 756,000 motor vehicle owners in Florida: owners who renewed their tag for a two year period prior to the effective date of Sept. 1.

“I’m alerting all motorists about this exclusion,” she said. “Anyone renewing for two years before Sept. 1, 2014 will not benefit from the registration fee reduction.

This legislation also prohibits any refunds for higher fees paid before the Sept. 1st effective date.”

The Florida Senate unanimously approved the measure that should lower the annual registration fees for most car and truck drivers by about $25. The charges were first raised five years ago when state legislators were grappling with a large budget gap caused by the downturn in the state’s economy. The tag fee increases were imposed along with a $1 a pack increase

in cigarette taxes to get the state through a major budget shortfall.

“It’s a way to get broad based tax and fee relief to the people,” said Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart and the sponsor of the fee rollback.

“The government has a bad habit of adding on fees and rules and once they are on the books they never come off.”

The lower fees, however, won’t kick in until this September, meaning that drivers who renew their cars now will have to wait until 2015 before benefiting from the rollback.

Data collected by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles from last year show nearly 9 million motor vehicles had their registrations renewed from January to August while more than 4 million vehicles were renewed during the final four months of the year. Drivers are required to renew their registration during the month of their birthday although drivers can also get a twoyear renewal.

Gov. Rick Scott has made the auto fee rollback a top priority for the legislative session.

State legislators have pledged to cut taxes and fees by roughly $500 million this year.

They are considering other types of tax breaks, including sales tax holidays for backto-school supplies and hurricane supplies.

Delray Beach man Charged with DUI in Fort Myers Museum uses High-tech Approach Motorcycle Crash to Select Artwork

By CRA News Service

Ninety pieces of art, representing their first foray into the world of digital-based exhibit judging and coordination, are on display through May 11 at the Cornell Museum of Art & American Culture.

The show features the work from 97 artists throughout the country working in a wide variety of media, including wood, glass and metal sculpture, drawing, painting, jewelry and photography. There were more than 350 submissions from artists throughout the U.S. Judging artwork from a remote location rather than on-site evaluation is part of a relatively new trend, museum director Gloria Rejune Adams told the Sun-Sentinel.

As part of this process, artists from around the country affiliate with one of several firms that organize juried shows.

When a show is announced, artists submit digital photographs of their work to the firm according to its specifications.

For this exhibition, the museum worked with West Palm Beach-based Juried Art Services. The firm secured the juror, Michael Monroe, who is based in Seattle, and transferred the digital images online to him, Rejune Adams said.

“This is something new, and we just thought we’d try it,” Rejune Adams said.

“For a small museum, it helps because everything is done online. That’s what makes the show so interesting — it has so many different media. … It has something for everyone.”

Tom Nawrocki, of Columbus, Ohio, a professor emeritus of art at Mississippi University for Women, received the top award.

Nawrocki’s mixed media work “Zig Zag Zig 23” was praised as “highly original” by juror Michael Monroe, who is based in Seattle. Monroe looked “for artists who have developed their own visual vocabulary, or originality,” he is quoted as saying in the newspaper.

In the past 12 months, Nawrocki’s art has been on exhibit in numerous locations including Alexandria, Egypt; the International Print Center of New York City; Pacific Design Center in Hollywood, Calif.; Sofia, Bulgaria; Shenzhen, China; the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson and many others.

Nawrocki was selected the 2006 Visual Artist of the Year by the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.

16th Annual Honor Your Doctor Luncheon at Broken Sound Club

Theodore Raptis won the most votes awarding him the 2014 Doctor of Distinction out of more than 75 doctors that were nominated for the Award at the 16th Annual Honor Your Doctor luncheon held at Broken Sound Club on Thursday, April 3rd.

“We are so delighted with overwhelming response for this year “Honor Your Doctor’” luncheon. Last year was the most successful Honor Your Doctor Luncheon in 15 years and we were able to top it this year,” said Robin Trompeter, chairman for the event. Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton is now the steward for the event

that was originated by the GFWC. Each Honor Your Doctor nominee was presented with an engraved plaque.

In addition to the engraved plaque, Dr. Theodore Raptis was presented with a Vase by Tiffany & Company and a custom black lacquered base with an engraved plaque and a proclamation from City of Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie that states April 3, 2014 as Dr. Theodore Raptis Day. This year’s Honor Your Doctor luncheon was chaired by Robin Trompeter and Dr. Ron Rubin; charter members of the Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton. Honorary Chairs were Dr.

Michael Dennis, Mitch Feldman, and Elaine Wold and Honorary Physician Advisor was 2013 Doctor of Distinction, Dr. Marc Taub. The fundraiser was the brainchild of Helen M. Babione, who is still an active member of the GFWC the founding organization of Honor Your Doctor and passionate about raising funds to support the medical community in Boca Raton.

Invitations were mailed and the public was invited to nominate their favorite doctor by completing a nomination form online at the www. rotarydowntownbocaraton.org website and paying $40 per nomination (or

$100 for 3 nominations). All nominated doctors were invited to attend the Champagne reception and luncheon as a guest. More than 240 guests, including 40 doctors out of 75 nominees, attended the event. The funds raised will be donated to the Helen M. Babione Medical Scholarship and will benefit medical and nursing school students attending four local universities: Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at FAU, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at FAU, Lynn University and Palm Beach State College.

Eva Peron Lives at Kravis

By Skip Sheffield

When Caroline Bowman sang a teaser from the musical “Evita” April 8 for a season preview at Kravis Center, I thought I need to see this show again.

Am I glad I did. This is a beautifully realized production of the Time RiceAndrew Lloyd Webber musical, running just through April 13 in West Palm Beach.

Caroline Bowman plays the lead role of Eva Peron, wife of Argentine president Juan Peron.

Eva, known more endearingly as Evita, became an almost mythical character in her short life, and her reputation has only grown

Boca Life & Arts

since her death from cancer at age 33 on July 26, 1952.

“Evita” began as a concept album in 1976 and was expanded to a stage musical in England in 1978 and year later on Broadway, where in won the Tony award for Best Musical of 1979.

There have been numerous national tours and regional productions of “Evita” in the years since.

It had been about ten years since I last saw the show, so the Kravis on Broadway tour gave me a chance to give it a fresh look.

Carline Bowman is an all-American girl; a product of Penn State University. She has a strong, high-ranging soprano singing voice and she is a great dancer. Moreover she has a natural magnetism befitting the role of alluring, ambitious Eva Peron, who used her seductive charms to work her way up Argentina’s social ladder all the way to the top.

The role was most famously undertaken

by Madonna in the 1996 film version.

I think Caroline Bowman is a much better all-around performer, and she has a most impressive musical partner in Josh Young as Che, a revolutionary character and social critic loosely based on Che Guevara who also serves as narrator. Young’s tenor voice is sublime. Playing the role of right-wing general Juan Peron is Sean MacLaughlin,

whose enthrallment with his second wife Eva eventually became a liability for him with the military and upper classes.

“Evita” b e g i n s solemnly on the day of Eva’s death with a Catholicsounding “Requiem.”

The mood is sharply contrasted with Che’s rendition of “Oh, What a Circus.”

www.bocaratontribune.com

The song Bowman sang at the preview was the theme song “Buenos Aires,” which captures all the Latin-flavored tango and pasos dobles appeal of this show.

The overall sound and balance between orchestra and singers is among the best I have ever heard at Kravis Center. Each singer is audible individually, which is a huge advantage.

The staging is quite grand, especially for the most famous song, “Don’t Cry For me Argentina.”

“Evita” will no doubt visit our area again, but for now this is as good as it gets.

Tickets start at $25. Call 800-572-8471 or go to www.kravis.org.

A Triumphant Season Finale for Symphonia Boca Raton

By Skip Sheffield

The Symphonia Boca Raton ended its 2013-2014 season on a triumphant note Sunday, April 6 with an all-Mozart program under the baton of guest conductor Gerard Schwarz.

Schwarz is quite a contrast with previous guest conductor James Judd, who has let his graying hair grow quite long, and is constantly moving about, coaxing the players, looking more like a rock star.

In his conservative charcoal gray suit, white shirt and trim haircut, Schwarz looks more like a CEO than musical maestro. Make no mistake though, Schwarz knows his stuff, as he ably proved on Mozart’s intricate, sevenmovement Serenade No. 9 in D major, K 320.

As gorgeous as was the No. 9, the real highlight of the afternoon was Clarinet Concerto in A major, K 622. Soloist Jon Manasse doesn’t just know this piece, which he played entirely from memory, he lives, breathes and feels deeply this late composition- Mozart’s only clarinet concerto, written for his friend Anton

Stadler, who was the finest clarinetist of his time.

The joy of classical music is that when it is really working, everyone feels the emotion.

Manasse, who is on the Lynn University faculty and is coartistic director (with pianist Jon Nakamatsu) of the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival, was rewarded with one of the most enthusiastic and heartfelt standing ovations I have even seen at a classical music concert. Though the Symphonia audience skews older, Manasse’s performance was invigorating for even the most elderly patron.

It was hard to miss some young and beautiful members of the audience. After intermission Symphonia President Steven L. Pomeranz revealed the young people were special invited guests: dancers from HARID Conservatory, a world-class dance school adjacent to Lynn University.

It just so happened to be the birthday of Symphonia benefactor Martin B. Stein, who was duly serenaded by the orchestra and the entire audience. Bravo Mr. Stein, for all your good work.

While this year’s season is over, season subscriptions for the forthcoming tenth anniversary season are now on sale.

The four concert season features guest conductor David Kim, concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra Dec. 21; Gerald Schwarz returning Jan. 11; Alexander Platt returning Feb. 22, and the passionate James Judd returning April 12.

“I just saw the New York Philharmonic last week,” remarked my older friend, author and radio host Hal Spielman. “These musicians are every bit as good.”

Laughter and Tears in “Steel Magnolias”

Tears underlie the laughter of “Steel Magnolias,” the Robert Harling comedy running through April 20 at the Wick Theatre, 7901 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton.

Playwright Robert Harling based “Steel Magnolias” on the memory of his sister, who died in 1985 of complications of diabetes after a transplanted kidney was rejected by her body.

No, it does not sound like a laugh riot, but “Steel Magnolias” is a comedy with heart. Harling loves and admires the women of Truvy’s Beauty Salon, recreated meticulously by Sean McClelland for his first Wick in-house set.

The set is almost like a seventh member of the cast because it is so important to the lives of these lively northern Louisiana belles, to whom physical appearance is of utmost importance.

And what is a more important occasion than a wedding to look one’s best?

Shelby (Alison McCarton) is eagerly anticipating her impending nuptials with Jackson Latcherie, who is never seen. We imagine must be quite a guy to land such a sweet and lovely girl.

Truvy Jones (Patti Eyler) is the feisty owner of the beauty salon where the women

Boca Life & Arts

regularly meet.

Annelle (Linda Farmer) is the new girl in town. She is a bit shy and insecure, but she will blossom over the course of the three years of the story.

Clairee (Sally Bondi) is a bridge-builder with the negative, cur mudgeonly Ouiser (Robin Proett Olson).

Shelby’s mother M’Lynn (Aaron Bower) may be the steeliest of all these magnolias, as we learn by her actions in Act Two. Director Norb Joerder has cast with an eye for beauty and thespian skill. Because this play is so “talky,” it is essential the players are deadly accurate with their timing and delivery. Yes they are.

The Top 10 Things You Need to Know When Buying a Home 1. Don’t buy if you can’t stay put.

If you can’t commit to remaining in one place for at least a few years, then owning is probably not for you, at least not yet. With the transaction costs of buying and selling a home, you may end up losing money if you sell any sooner even in a rising market. When prices are falling, it’s an even worse proposition.

2. Start by shoring up your credit.

Since you most likely will need to get a mortgage to buy a house, you must make sure your credit history is as clean as possible. A few months before you start house hunting, get copies of your credit report. Make sure the facts are correct, and fix any problems you discover.

3. Aim for a home you can really afford.

how your income, debts, and expenses affect what you can afford.

4. If you can’t put down the usual 20 percent, you may still qualify for a loan.

There are a variety of public and private lenders who, if you qualify, offer low-interest mortgages that require a small down payment.

5. Buy in a district with good schools.

In most areas, this advice applies even if you don’t have school-age children.

Reason: When it comes time to sell, you’ll learn that strong school districts are a top priority for many home buyers, thus helping to boost property values.

6. Get professional help.

The rule of thumb is that you can buy housing that runs about two-and-onehalf times your annual salary. But you’ll do better to use one of many calculators available online to get a better handle on

Even though the Internet gives buyers unprecedented access to home listings, most new buyers (and many more experienced ones) are better off using a professional agent. Look for an exclusive buyer agent, if possible, who

will have your interests at heart and can help you with strategies during the bidding process.

7. Choose carefully between points and rate.

When picking a mortgage, you usually have the option of paying additional points -- a portion of the interest that you pay at closing -- in exchange for a lower interest rate. If you stay in the house for a long time -- say three to five years or more -- it’s usually a better deal to take the points. The lower interest rate will save you more in the long run.

8. Before house hunting, get preapproved.

Getting pre-approved will you save yourself the grief of looking at houses you can’t afford and put you in a better position to make a serious offer when you do find the right house. Not to be confused with pre-qualification, which is based on a cursory review of your finances, pre-approval from a lender is based on your actual income, debt and credit history.

9. Do your homework before bidding.

Your opening bid should be based on the sales trend of similar homes in the neighborhood. So before making it, consider sales of similar homes in the last three months. If homes have recently sold at 5 percent less than the asking price, you should make a bid that’s about eight to 10 percent lower than what the seller is asking.

10. Hire a home inspector.

Sure, your lender will require a home appraisal anyway. But that’s just the bank’s way of determining whether the house is worth the price you’ve agreed to pay. Separately, you should hire your own home inspector, preferably an engineer with experience in doing home surveys in the area where you are buying.

His or her job will be to point out potential problems that could require costly repairs down the road.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE

FAITH

By Mike Gora

By Robert J. Tamasy

Secular Work and Spiritual Gifts What are your greatest strengths in the workplace? In other words, how would you describe the unique mix of talents, abilities and experience you have to offer to your company or organization?

Sometimes we refer to these as “gifts,” and might comment that someone is particularly “gifted” in certain areas, such as leadership, administration, marketing, handling finances, investing, team building, communicating, and many other functions necessary for success in the marketplace.

In considering our own traits, we often view them in terms of our own success - being able to earn a desired pay raise, meriting a promotion, receiving professional recognition, or achieving many other personal goals. But how often have you thought that perhaps your unique gifts are not primarily for your benefit, but for others?

A friend pointed this out during a recent conversation. Being a writer and editor, I enjoy my craft - working with words to communicate ideas, concepts and principles I have found to be important and meaningful. I receive a measure of pleasure and satisfaction from the work I do. But ultimately, if what I have to convey through the written word is not shared with others, or found by them to be of value, in reality I am wasting my time.

Years ago I heard a man recite a brief poem that made a lot of sense: “A bell is not a bell until it is rung; a song is not a song until it is sung; now love was not given in your heart to stay - for love is

not love until you give it away.”

In a similar manner, we might say a personal gift we possess is not truly a “gift” until we give it away for the benefit of others. We might derive some results from the use of our gifts, but ultimately we have them to serve our companies, our clients and customers, shareholders and others.

In the Bible we find a discussion of “spiritual gifts,” traits such as evangelism, faith, wisdom, healing, teaching and others. Each is given “for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7). The passage then proceeds to compare these separate gifts with the individual parts of the human body, noting they are not intended to function independently but rather in concert with other organs.

“If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts of the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.... As it is, there are many parts, but one body” (1 Corinthians 12:17-19).

We are sometimes tempted to take special pride in our distinctive talents and abilities. We must never forget, however, our success depends on the support of others with different capabilities. And we are urged to appreciate the contributions of others, just as we would hope they recognize our own. “But God has combined the members of the body...so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other” (1 Corinthians 12:24-25).

Best Interests Of A Child Not all mothers are perfect. Not all fathers are perfect and, unfortunately all children born are not genetically, psychologically, and physically perfect.

When, on occasion the best interests of such a child falls within our professional penumbra we must do our best for that child in order to keep her and him safe from harm.

The “We”, as defined would include our judges, lawyers, physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and physical therapists, among others.

When we have the responsibility to protect such a child from his father or mother who is far less than perfect, although loving, our heart strings are often torn asunder with the difficulty that we might have in adjudicating such a conundrum or representing the mother or father whether we represent the normal parent or the non-normal parent.

Every judge and every lawyer knows two things when such difficult cases arise. We know that every parent has a constitutional right and a moral right to spend time with their child and we also know that the best interests of the child may be served only when the child and parent are kept apart entirely or with the help of a supervisor for a parent’s access.

Florida law long ago, through appellate decisions declares that alcoholism, drug abuse, gambling addiction or other similar patterns of behavior are illnesses. When a mother or father has such a disease we also know that there is no known absolute period of time when that disease will permanently abate.

In my experience I have found that such addicts are the best of liars and the

worst of drivers and just as bad at taking care of his or her most precious son or daughter some of the time.

As infants, toddlers, and pre-teens these children demand the best care and close attention, as they will to adulthood, for different reason. Here I am talking about the ability for such a single parent to act as the guardian of his or her normal child.

What if, however their child is one of the benighted? Perhaps an autistic child, or genetically challenged child who cannot appreciate the danger of an approaching car or truck. Or an autistic or a child who may when small controversies arise with a parent or classmate goes into convulsive fits of screaming and worse.

What if the addict father or mother happens to be on a bender when his or dearest and most precious child wanders near the road through a supposedly locked door and lock garden gate… or into the back yard pool, or has a screaming and kicking episode because his or her parent had fallen asleep on a Sunday afternoon after drinking six beers and watching a football game.

If such a parent cannot adequately take care of a normal child, what chance does the benighted child has under the care of his or her addicted parent.

It is not judicial error to protect children against a parent when that parent has such history and worse by way of a complicated psychological history which place him or her in a risk category for reasons not connected to addiction.

The best interests of the child should remain paramount under all circumstances.

Siemens to Build Nine-Story Luxury Condos for Boca West

By CRA News Service

The residential landscape of Boca West Country Club is expected to change soon as renowned real estate developer Siemens Group plans to break ground on a new luxury condominium in the fall of 2015, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned.

Akoya, set to be a sanctuary of modern architecture, will boast every conceivable amenity and white-glove services within the gates of the private residential Country Club. Akoya will be the first new residential development in Boca West Country Club in more than two decades. Pricing ranges from $1.2 million to more than $2 million.

Akoya has been thoughtfully designed

by GarciaStromberg, famed architects of One Thousand Ocean, and award-winning Interiors by Steven G., known worldwide for fashionable metropolitan style.

“Akoya is truly a rare opportunity without precedent,” says Richard Siemens, president and CEO of Siemens Group. “Akoya offers a high-style, highly serviced luxury lifestyle

By Jason Schwartz

all within a resort-style community that will provide owners with the highest quality living experience possible.”

For 40 years, Siemens and family have left their mark on the South Florida real estate industry through such innovative developments as the Polo Club Boca Raton, Gleneagles Country Club, and Harbour’s Edge. Now, for the first time in area history, a private country club is inviting a developer to build a luxury high-rise condominium within its community. Siemens Group plans to break the mold once again with the muchanticipated Akoya.

“It’s been a long time since any new developments have been built in Boca West, and Akoya is truly a one of a kind building for this area,” Siemens said. “We know discerning homebuyers will appreciate the word-class amenities and services that Akoya will offer. We’re creating a private sanctuary for a privileged few who demand the very best.”

Akoya residents will enjoy the resort-style

amenities and more than 300,000 square feet of award-winning club facilities Boca West is renowned for, including 31 Har-Tru tennis courts; six distinguished restaurants; an expansive aquatic and fitness center; a world-class 38,000-square-foot Europeaninspired spa; and four championship golf courses designed by legends Arnold Palmer, Pete Dye, and Jim Fazio.

Akoya will comprise nine stories, 120 private residences, three dramatic portecochere arrival courts, a resort-style swimming pool with tropical sun deck and intimate lounging area, a 24-hour fitness center with state-of-the-art training equipment, men’s and women’s card rooms, a lavish Grand Room and more. Residences, from two to three bedrooms with den and offices ranging from 2,676 to 4,780 square feet, will feature secured elevators opening into the foyer of each residence, expansive terraces creating an outdoor environment that takes full advantage of South Florida living, designer kitchens, spacious master

suites and floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Truly a full-service building, Akoya’s professional valet, front desk staff and dedicated concierge will deliver white-glove service catering to residents’ every need. A state-of-the-art security system will ensure peace of mind for residents 24/7.

Akoya will be situated within walking distance of the 300,000 square feet of club facilities and resort-style amenities Boca West has to offer—not to mention its convenient location in Boca Raton, with easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, all major highways and the private airport.

On Tuesday, April 1, Akoya will cosponsor “The Concert for the Children,” starring the legendary Diana Ross. The concert will take place at Boca West Country Club in the Akoya Amphitheater.

The Akoya Sales Gallery is located in the Boca West Sports Complex, 20583 Boca West Drive, Boca Raton.

Office Depot Pays top Execs Bonuses to Stay

Office Depot, the nation’s No. 2 officesupply retailer, paid six-figure bonuses to retain top executives before and after its merger with OfficeMax, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned.

The bonuses - as much as $1.5 million over three years - are only a portion of the executive’s total compensation, which include annual salary, performance bonuses and stock awards, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The $1.2 billion merger was closed in November, and new chief executive Roland Smith has been forming his top executive team, naming people from both companies

to top jobs as well as those from the outside.

Karen Denning, spokesperson for Office Depot, said companies going through mergers often pay retention bonuses to ensure key management personnel stay in place for smooth transition.

“Retention awards to company executives are an accepted practice in such situations to ensure business continuity,” she said.

Elisa Garcia, Office Depot’s general counsel and executive committee member, received a $1.5 million bonus over three years, from 2011 to 2013. The bonus is in addition to her total direct compensation of $2.6 million in 2013, according to the filing.

In December, Smith named Garcia to his executive committee, and she remains the company’s general counsel.

Conference to Provide Help for Veterans who own Businesses

By CRA News Service

Veterans interested in starting or expanding small businesses can get help at a free conference on April 11 at Palm Beach State College.

The Florida Veteran Business Conference takes place from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Palm Beach State College, HT 103, 3000 Saint Lucie Ave., Boca Raton.

“We are committed to bringing more Veteran-owned small businesses into a public-private partnership to help them grow and succeed,” said Joseph Franklin, executive director of the National Disabled Veteran Business Council. “This event is a unique opportunity for veteran-owned small businesses to connect directly with government procurement decision makers and business partners.”

This is the NDVBC’s premier government event designed to help veteran entrepreneurs compete for — and win — new business.

By attending, veteran-owned business owners will have the one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect directly with representatives from several government agencies and commercial companies.

The sessions will be tailored for all stages of business growth.

Participants will receive information, tools, tips, techniques and how-to instructions

www.bocaratontribune.com

to start, build and expand a small business into a life-changing reality. Networking opportunities include business requirements sessions and networking roundtables.

Finally, veterans will learn about getting the veteran-owned business certification needed to compete for federal contracts, outreaching to veteran communities, and targeting networking to discuss government procurement and contracting requirements.

Contractor growth rates are down as the U.S. emerges from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. However, contracting for service-disabled, veteranowned small businesses is increasing at an annual growth rate of 15 percent, organizers said.

There are 26 million small businesses in the United States. Of these, 3.6 million are owned by Veterans and service disabled Veterans. They employ over 1.8 million workers and generate over $1.6 trillion in revenue. VA assists Veteran-owned businesses with everything from small business start-ups to large defense contracts.

Lynn Women’s Golf Wins Bash-at-the-Beach

By Chad Beattie

After the sting of having its winning streak snapped, Lynn University’s top-ranked women’s golf team returned to what it does best: winning golf tournaments. And boy did the Fighting Knights win in memorable fashion, setting program records for 18- and 36-hole scoring in winning the Bash-at-the-Beach Invitational by 27 strokes.

Adding to the accomplishments, Lynn saw all five starters finish in the top-six for the first time in school history, the team broke the record for top-10 finishes in a season with 33, Jessica Bradley broke the record for individual top-10 finishes by placing in the top-10 for the 10th consecutive tournament and Samantha Smolen became the school’s career-leader in top-10 finishes.

The Blue & White were looking for a quality score in their final round before the Sunshine State Conference Championship. They left little doubt about their readiness for the league tournament after shooting a 10-under par 282 team round, surpassing the previous school record by three strokes. Lynn’s 579 total topped the program record by three strokes also.

Only one other team, Stetson, was able to shoot under 300 on the day. Flagler clinched second place at 606, followed by the Hatters at 612. Seminole State (615) and host EmbryRiddle (624) rounded out the top-five.

Local Baseball Team Hits National Homerun

A travel baseball team of 9 and 10 year old boys from Broward and Palm Beach Counties, the HITMEN, have captured attention as a top contender both for earning a top ranking nationally in the USSSA 10u AAA Division and for making it all happen through the power of a kids-first philosophy.

The team, who have only been playing together for six months, are coached by Scott Shields and Joe Tomonto. In the highly competitive world of travel baseball, the HITMEN success is unique. The team is part of Boca Amateur Athletics and is supported via low parent fees, local donors and coaches who volunteer 100% of their time. The HITMEN coaching philosophy is simple said Coach Scott Shields, “Baseball for 10 year old boys should, first and

foremost, be fun. The boys work hard during practices to improve and hone their baseball fundamentals and the games are where they get to shine. The players come together as a team, play hard and have fun all while playing the great game of baseball.”

According to Boca Amateur Athletics President, Steve Benson, whose son Kobe plays on the HITMEN, “The positive coaching environment created by our coaches brings out the best in all the boys.

Yes, they are going to make mistakes; however, the key is how you teach kids to handle adversity. It’s not a baseball skill: it’s a life skill. Scott and Joe never lose sight that these are 9 and 10 year old boys and this experience will formulate how they compete in sports going forward.”

Lynn had three golfers, Bradley, Louise Manalo and Smolen, post a three-under par 70 on the 6,106-yard par 73 LPGA International Jones Course. Smolen led the Fighting Knights contingent with a 143 total to place second, two shots back of Chanya Angwarawong of Seminole State. The junior out of Lake Worth, Fla., collected the 23rd top-10 finish in her career, surpassing Maha Haddioui for first place in school history.

Louise Manalo took third individually with a 144 score for her fourth top-10 finish of the season. Bradley followed behind in fourth place and is now tied with Haddioui with 22 top-10 finishes in a career.

Not many times do you throw away an under-par score but the Fighting Knights had the luxury of choosing between one-under par 72s from both Irene Calvo and Ellen Chambers.

Calvo placed fifth, her highest finish of the season, with a 147 while Chambers shot a 148 to tie for sixth, her fifth top-10 finish of the year.

Also in the mix was Estefania Buritica, who posted a 165 to finish as the second-best individual unattached to a team.

The Fighting Knights will look for win No. 9 of the season when they take part in the Sunshine State Conference Championship, beginning on Sunday, April 13.

Michael Curry Introduced as Newest Coach of FAU Basketball By: Wesley Wright Florida Atlantic has hired former NBA basketball player and assistant Michael Curry to replace Mike Jarvis as the head coach of FAU Basketball. Jarvis, who resigned at the end of last season, managed just one wining season in a six year tenure at Florida Atlantic. He spoke of a disconnect between he and athletic director Patrick Chun as last season wound down.

North Carolina Central head coach LeVelle Moton and Ohio State assistant Dave Dickerson both were suggested as candidates for the vacancy. As recently as last weekend, Moton was thought to be inline to get the job.

Athletic director Patrick Chun spoke highly of the man whom he has bestowed the duty of changing the culture of a program that has suffered three consecutive losing seasons.

“When you study Michael Curry, you get to know his reputation in the business.

He’s done it through hard work, character and fortitude and commitment to be the best you can be,” he said. “We believe all these will translate to be a highly successful division 1 men’s basketball coach.”

John Kelly, FAU’s newest president, on Curry: “We’re confident Michael Curry is going to be a winner. He’s going to be our men’s basketball coach, he’s going to be a leader and we’re confident he’s going to help us educate and graduate future leaders.

These are all the reasons why Michael is a right fit for FAU.” After serving as head coach of the Detroit Pistons during the 2008-2009

www.bocaratontribune.com

season, Curry ended up as an assistant with the Philadelphia 76ers all the way through last season, before being relieved of his duties. This will be his first head coaching job at the college level, and he has his work cut out for him. Last season, the Owls went just 10-22, losing six straight contests to end the year. Their leading scorer, Pablo Bertone, is graduating this spring, and the team will need to find some real source of offensive output heading into the 2014-2015 season.

All four other Owl starters are returning, including forward Justin Raffington (10.1 PPG, 8.5 REB) and Marquan Botley (11.3 PPG), who was recognized for his play a AllFreshman Conference team selection this past March.

FAU Baseball Beats Marshall 17-3

The Florida Atlantic University baseball team posted 21 hits on Sunday in its 17-3 rout of Marshall in the third game of the Conference USA series. FAU’s 21 hits is the most in a game this season and is the most since the Owls put up 21 hits against Troy in April, 2011.

Marshall (11-18, 7-7 C-USA) got on the board first with a walk, stolen base and an RBI single to take a 1-0 lead.

The Owls (17-14, 5-10 C-USA) took a 2-1 lead with four hits in the second inning, including back-to-back RBI singles by Robert Buckley and Jose Bonilla Traverso, but left the bases loaded after consecutive strikeouts. The Herd responded on back-toback hits with two outs in the second to tie the game a two runs apiece.

Seven Owls reached base in the top of the third to bring three runs across the plate. Buckley drew a bases loaded walk and Bonilla Traverso and Stephen Kerr each knocked in runs with singles.

Esteban Puerta hit his second home run of the season in the fourth to increase the FAU lead to 6-2. Buckley picked up his third RBI of the game in the sixth, driving in CJ Chatham who reached on an error to open the frame.

Marshall would score its final run in the bottom of the sixth after a hit batter and an RBI double by TJ Diffenderfer.

After Kerr and Brendon Sanger reached to open the seventh, Santiago and Puerta hit back-to-back RBI singles to give the Owls an 8-3 advantage.

Freshman Brad Myott drew his third walk of the game to lead off the eighth inning in his first career game. After Billy Endris walked, a Marshall error on a fly ball

by Kerr scored Myott from second. Sanger hit a double down the left field line to pick up his second and third RBI of the day to increase the lead to 11-2.

The Owls closed out the game with five runs on five hits in the ninth, including doubles by Chatham and Endris and a pinch-hit, two RBI triple by Reid Neal. Cain Spangler hit a pinch-hit, RBI single with two outs to become the ninth FAU player to drive in a run in the game.

Drew Jackson earned his fourth win of the season, striking out five and allowing three runs in his six innings of work.

Sanger went 3-for-6 with three RBI while Kerr went 3-for-6 with three runs and a RBI. Puerta went 3-for-4 on the day with three runs, two RBI and a walk.

Lynn Lacrosse Falls

By Olivia Coiro Lynn University’s lacrosse team (1-9) lost to Florida Tech, 19-5, on Saturday night in Sunshine State Conference action. Junior Danny Egan scored a career-high five goals for his first hat trick of the season. Lynn falls to 0-4 in SSC play while FIT earns its first conference win and improves to 3-8 overall and 1-3 in the SSC. Florida Tech took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter before Egan scored his first goal with nine seconds remaining after FIT’s goalkeeper Zack Kunkel stopped a shot by Chris D’Angelo. Egan got the rebound and fired from point-blank to put Lynn on the board.

Tyler Janvrin found Egan with 9:15 remaining in the first half for his tenth assist of the season and Egan’s second goal of the game. Egan scored again with 3:30 left in the second quarter when Brian Kiel found him just outside the crease. FIT held an 11-3 lead

heading into halftime.

Egan’s fourth goal game with 7: 03 left in the third quarter for the Fighting Knights to trail 13-4. Harrison Lynch was credited with the assist, his first as a member of the Blue & White. Lynn’s final goal, by Egan, was scored unassisted with 4:28 left in regulation when he scooped loose ball outside the crease past the Panthers keeper.

The Panthers offense was led by Brian Bacarella, younger brother to Lynn senior attackman Joey Bacarella. He scored two goals while dishing out four assists for six points. Nick Wynne had four goals for FIT and two assists to match Bacarella’s gamehigh six points.

Taylor Ferrino made a career-best 22 saves in goal for Lynn while Chris D’Angelo had a team-high five ground balls. Egan’s five goals marked his second multi-goal game of his career.

Lynn Falls in Season Finale

By Olivia Coiro

Lynn University’s eighth-ranked men’s tennis team lost to No. 2 Barry (17-2) on Sunday morning in the final match of the regular season. 2014 marks the first time in Sunshine State Conference history that there would be crowned a regular season champion for men’s tennis. The stage was set at the Buccaneer Tennis Center where the Fighting Knights would battle the Bucs for the title. Both teams had a perfect 5-0 conference record prior to the match.

Lynn (12-5) fell behind quickly in the match, trailing 3-0 to BU after doubles but Fighting Knights did not go down easy. No. 3 Ahmed Triki and Ollie Lemaitre defeated the Blue & White’s Daniel Riggs and Paolo Volpicelli, 8-6, at the No. 1 spot. Lynn’s No. 2 doubles team of Vlad Cirla and Pavel Mojha lost, 8-6, to Leo Vivas and Romain Costamagna. Alessio Iannozzi and Tomas Prokop’s 12-match win streak was snapped when they lost 9-8 (7-5) to the Bucs’ Kevin Sielmann and Renato Lombardi.

No. 4, 5, and 6 singles all went to three sets but the damage was already done. In his first match since March 10, No. 17 Cirla lost to No. 8 Triki, 6-3, 6-4, at the top singles spot. No. 11 Fabian Groetsch defeated No. 37 Prokop in straight sets of 6-2 to clinch Barry’s win. No. 36 Daniel Riggs was defeated by Costamagna at No. 3 singles, 6-1, 6-4.

Volpicelli took Nico Dreer to three when he took the second set, 7-5, after losing the opener, 6-3. Unfortunately the freshman from Rome, Italy, lost 13-11 in the deciding set. Mojha won the opening set at No. 5 singles, 6-4, before losing the second, 3-6.

He bounced back to dominate in a 10-3 third set to give Lynn it’s first point of the match.

Senior Alessio Iannozzi beat Lombardi, 7-5, in the first set. He dropped the second, 3-6, but rallied strong to win the final set 10-6.

This was the 100th time in program history the two teams clashed since first playing in 1989. Lynn leads the all-time series 26-24 after Sunday’s loss.

Lynn Baseball Tops Florida Memorial in Marathon

By Chad Beattie Ten pitching changes, five rain delays and four hours later Lynn University’s fifthranked baseball team was able to defeat Florida Memorial 10-9. Alex DeBellis and Michael Stemle combined for six runs batted in but it was freshman Corey Gibson who drove in the winning run in the eighth.

AJ Falleta earned his fifth win in relief to help the Fighting Knights improve to 29-8 overall.

Florida Memorial (8-29) was able to grab a 1-0 lead in the first but the Blue & White took advantage of two errors and five free passes to pull ahead 7-1. DeBellis drove in the first two of his three RBI with a double before Lions’ starter Zach Crosno walked Joe Anzeveno and Ryan Carmona to load the bases. A third consecutive walk, this time to Gibson, made it 3-1.

Stemle stepped to the plate and ripped a belt-high fastball into the left center gap, clearing all three ducks on the pond to put Lynn ahead 6-1. A four-pitch walk to Alex Freedman seemed innocent enough but the throw to third on an attempted stolen base

by Stemle sailed into left field to bring home the seventh run of the inning.

The Lions refused to give up, slowly chipping away at Lynn’s lead inning-byinning. Florida Memorial scored twice in the second and once more in the third to make it 7-4. Jose Para allowed four runs, two earned, on five hits over three innings before

giving way to Robert Guarnieri.

Guarnieri held off the attack for a bit until the sixth when an error cut the deficit to 7-5. He tossed 2.1 innings with one unearned run allowed on two walks and no hits. The Lions rallied to within one, 7-6, in the seventh but saw a pair of doubles by Enrique Perez and DeBellis pad Lynn’s lead to 9-6.

Florida Memorial was able to load the bases in the eighth and brought home all three runs off a wild pitch and two ground outs, knotting the game at nine. With the game on the line, the chess match between managers began with Lynn pinch-hitting twice and the Lions making four pitching changes. Donovan Christman led off the frame with a single up the middle and reached third base when pinch hitter Thomas Kain hit a 3-0 fastball off the fence in left field for a double. It was then Gibson knocked a RBI single to center field for the eventual game-winning run.

Not having set down FMU in order through the first eight frames, Falleta dispatched of the Lions rather easily in the ninth to pick up his fifth win of the year.

He is now second on the team in victories, trailing only Jed Vandernaald.

The Fighting Knights are back in action this Friday when they start a pivotal threegame Sunshine State Conference series at Nova Southeastern.

Golf Life in boca

By Stan Moore

Pre-Shot Routine If you have ever been to a PGA Tour event and followed a player throughout his round, you probably noticed him going through his pre-shot routine before almost every shot he hits. Some players have very unique routines that they might go through while others might have a few simple things they do before they hit their shot. Either way they do it, what matters is the actual process that they go through. This process is what clears their mind and prepares them to make a great swing. The key point to remember about a pre-shot routine is that it stays consistent. The consistency of this routine will make your body and mind familiar with what is about to happen, therefore will make a better environment to hit the ball whether you are under pressure or not.

So what does a good pre-shot routine consist of ? It can be any number of things to get you ready to hit the ball – the most common being alignment, grip, practice swing, and waggle. You’ll often seeing players lining up behind the ball and looking at their target. Jim Furyk will often pick out a spot in front of the ball to align his clubface before each shot.

One or more practice swings are common to get the feel for your lie, slope, stance, and the type of club you are using. A grip check is often done to make sure your best grip is in place.

Then finally, you might take a few waggles to relax a bit more and feel the clubhead. Jason Dufner has a very pronounced waggle that he takes before each shot he hits.

Each pre-shot routine is unique and yours should be too. Just make sure it’s not too long and it makes you feel comfortable. Stick with it and make it consistent – you’ll be glad you did.

The Pedro Project 3/28/14

The Pedro Project

On Friday the twenty eight of March, "The Pedro Project" ofÞcially began. Pedro starts off by showing up a little behind schedule, but no problem. So….we head to the range to begin.

Getting started I had Pedro make a few shots. Well, as I mentioned in the last article, it needed some work. Shots where rolling on the ground, turf was dug up, and balls being topped were in the majority.

First item was improve his grip. Get the club out of the palm and into the Þngers. The Þngers have more feel, will produce more power, and allow him to hinge the hands properly. I will tell you, that he did extremely well in picking up the grip. Most people struggle with this. So I was impressed.

Once we got the grip Þxed, we worked on getting the weight positioned properly, the ball position changed, and the hands inside the left thigh, and learning how to pivot through the ball. By making these changes, Pedro was able to chip the ball in the air and by the end of the lesson, he could hit 50 yards in the air. Now, these where not consistent, but grading him on his Þrst lesson, I would give him a B. Good job Pedro!

Why It’s Time to Stop The Jokes About Miami Being A Bad Soccer Market

When artist renderings of David Beckham’s proposed Miami MLS stadium were unveiled on Monday, the Internet responded with its typical negative and stereotypical comments about Miami as a sports town. Some of the few choice comments included: “looks good except the stadium will be half full most of the time” “half full?! I’d be surprised if it was 1/4 full…”

“With only about 8000 seats filled… lol” The jokes and snide comments about attendances in South Florida are stereotypes that were born more than a decade ago, but soccer fans won’t open their eyes to the trends from the past five years or more.

It’s time to destroy the myth that South Florida has poor attendances for soccer games.

Miami has been getting a lot of heat lately thanks to Englishman David Beckham and his intentions of bringing a Major League Soccer franchise to the Magic City. Beckham has said he believes Miami is a strong sports market, and believes MLS in Miami has everything to be a complete success.

People who are not from Miami tend to disagree with everything Beckham, and most of MLS Miami supporters have been saying that for the past couple of years. Naysayers will point at the low attendance at nearly every other major sport the city of Miami has as reasons to not have an MLS franchise in the city.

However, comparing something like hockey or baseball to soccer is like comparing apples and oranges. They are not the same thing. Poor attendances at Miami Marlins or Florida Panthers games have no relevance to attendances at soccer games.

Let’s take a closer look at the facts.

1. Last summer, the International Champions Cup was played in Miami over two days. In those two days, the average attendance was 52,893. The final day of the tournament at Sun Life Stadium had an attendance of 67,273, which was greater than any of the games played in New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other major metropolitan cities in the United States.

2. When the World Football Challenge came to Miami in 2011 with a matchup between Barcelona and Chivas de Guadalajara, 70,080 fans packed Sun Life Stadium to watch the match.

3. In 2012 when AC Milan played Chelsea, 57,748 fans attended the game, which was the largest attendance of the World Football Challenge. The record crowd beat attendances in Seattle, Toronto, New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia and other North American Sports

cities.

4. Soccer has shown time and time again that it is one of the biggest sports in South Florida. Just last year, Brazil played Honduras at Sun Life Stadium to a record crowd of 71,124 fans, which was the largest crowd Brazil had in its recent World Tour — and it set a record for the most-attended soccer game in Florida history.

5. In plenty of other games in South Florida, soccer has had impressive attendances including the 51,615 who turned out for the friendly between Colombia and Mexico in 2012, and the 48,327 attendance for the 2012 World Soccer Masters game.

Naysayers will says that “Fans will only show up to when the teams are doing well, or only where there are big games going on.”

While I won’t completely disagree with that argument, I want to point out that Miami is no different to most parts of the country when it comes to sports.

Have you taken a look at the Staples Center lately when the “mighty” Los Angeles Lakers have been playing? It’s practically empty.

Even when they the Miami Heat the laughing stock of the league at 1567 during the 2007-2008 NBA Season, the Miami Heat averaged 19,463 fans at their home games, which was still good enough to be in the Top 10 in the NBA, beating out teams like the Lakers, Spurs, and Celtics. This season, the back-toback NBA Champions are averaging 19,765 fans, only 302 more fans on average than when they were one of the worst teams in the league.

Furthermore, in a recent poll Sports Business Journal, Miami has the highest percentage of fans in the United States claiming to be “very or somewhat interested” in MLS among markets without a team (12.5%). In contrast, Orlando ranks 19th in the same poll with only 8.2% of fans claiming any interested in MLS. Miami has all the right ingredients to make soccer work. It has the location, it has the people, it has the fans, and now it has the owner in place that wants to see the team succeed.

There are plenty of questions left unanswered as of right now when it comes to Beckham’s MLS Miami franchise, but to say the team will fail because Miami sports fans won’t show up is just wrong.

It’s time to stop labeling Miami and South Florida as a poor soccer market.

Instead, it’s time to realize that Miami is an integral part of soccer in the United States.

Remember, it’s 2014, not 2001. We want MLS. We will support MLS. www.bocaratontribune.com
