Fishing For A Future By Kathryn Wohlpart
At the age of 15 Lucas Metropulos saw that he could improve the lives of others with tools he had learned from family friends. After Hurricane Frances left his family homeless, they were taken in by the Maillis family on their oceanfront farm. Four brothers taught Lucas and his brother Nicholas Metropulos conservation and fishing methods that the two have brought back to Boca Raton. Lucas created Fishing for Families in Need in Boca Raton, an organization that is now active in multiple cities including Miami. Continue on page 3

• Congratulations to all the winners of the election yesterday. It will be good to get rid of all the political ads and signs on the street! The barrage of TV ads topped over $100 million in revenue for the West Palm Beach TV stations.
Quote of the Week:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,” - Romans 12:1 company recorded declining sales in the third quarter, which included its back-to-school push. The retailer, which merged with Office Max last year, reported $4.1 billion in sales for the quarter ended Sept. 27, compared with $2.6 billion from Office Depot alone in the same period in 2013. If Office Depot’s sales are combined with OfficeMax’s for the same quarter last year, the company’s total sales were 3 percent lower. • The Securities and Exchange Commission has hammered Boca Raton CPA Allen Berman with disciplinary sanctions and was hit with a $15,000 fine.

The carrier will start service to Dulles International later this month. Not surprisingly discount airline People’s Express delayed its re-launch while pulling the plug after only 90 days of operation. Most observers say the carrier’s return to the friendly skies is doubtful • Sales of the Florida Pre-Paid Scholarship tuition fund, named after its founder, Miami businessman and philanthropist Stanley Tate, hit a record for its first week of enrollment this year. A little over 6,000 plans were sold in the past two weeks, up a whop-
ping 200% over the past year. Plans range from $43 to $173 per month and the price for a four year college plan is $18,300. The healthy spurt was caused by half costs for some plans and waivers for application fees. Enrollment ends in February, 2015. • The on again off again sailing schedule of the beleaguered gambling ship Island Breeze Casino operating out of the Port of Palm Beach is on again. Ship owners say the relaunch is now set for December after being idled for the past five months due to mechanical problems.

Palm Beach county dealers reported strong sales in the $20,000 to $30,000 range. Organizers also produce the Palm Beach County boat show. • South Florida’s Seminole Indian tribe picked up the seal of approval from the Federal National Indian Gaming Commission which means that the Tribe has been in compliance with federal regulations for the past three years. The Tribe’s gambling operation grossed over $2 billion last year and each of the 4000 members receive $120,000 annually from gambling revenue. The Tribe has 3 casinos in South Florida and five more throughout the state. • The U.S. Census Bureau revealed 208,00 Puerto Recans have fled to South Florida in the past four years, fleeing high unemployment, soaring crime, massive inflation and a stagnant economy. The normal migration has been to New York City and New Jersey, but now the influx is moving into South Florida and Orlando. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and its citizens can move freely between the island and U.S. mainland. • South Florida airlines made millions of dollars in profits in the third quarter and they are about to pocket millions more in fuel savings but they will not be passed on to the consumer. Jet fuel prices have fallen .46 per gallon to $2.40. Fuel makes up about 30% of an airlines operating cost. Despite the savings, travelers will still endure jammed cabins, higher ticket prices and spotty service.

Community Fishing for a Future
Continue from page 1
Fishing of Families in Need, or F4FN, is an organization whose mission “is to use the sport/ skill of fishing as a mechanism to immerse and educate socio-economically disadvantaged children about their local marine and/or freshwater environment,” according to Nicholas. An environmental education is a “large component” of the organization; marine science IBooks by Duke Marine Science professors are used in classes for the children. Topics like marine conservation, ocean pollution and climate change are “infused” with the lesson of how to fish responsibly. “We use the sport of fishing to keep the children engaged, but emphasize proper ways to fish and adhere to regulations to preserve fish stocks for the future. Other classes include: knot tying, fish dissection, guest speaker, and a graduation pier fishing trip,” said Nicholas. F4FN also works with local fishing tournaments to provide excess fish to soup kitchens and has provided over 850 meals to the Boca Helping Hands Soup kitchen. Volunteers come out to clean fish and help
deliver them to the soup kitchen two to three times a year. Lucas started with $500 he earned from his job and received a donation of six fishing rods “from an elderly woman in Delray Beach who wanted to donate them in honor of her deceased husbands.” Now, Lucas is working in Durham, North Carolina on a similar program while he attends Duke University. Nicholas has taken over the Boca Raton chapter and will become the CEO of the nonprofit in Spring. “I [...] hope to raise awareness about the need for greater conservation and protection of our unique marine ecosystems that surround Florida. I hope to inspire my peers both young and old to reach out to make a difference whether it is small or large to make our community a better place for the future,” said Nicholas. The two brothers don’t only focus on raising awareness in the United States, however, and are working to raise money for a larger project. A community in the Bahamas called Hay Street has children with the desire to succeed but little means to be successful. “The lack of opportunities within this
community leads many children to a life of crime and violence. That is why the community leader of Hay Street has been trying desperately to build a community center in order to give these children more opportunities and constructive activities,” said Nicholas. Lucas worked with locals to create Lend a Hand Bahamas to operate a community
center that F4FN have been working to raise the money for. Construction on the two-floor center is set to start in Summer 2015. The center will become a place where the community can come for education and where local and international professors and students can come share their knowledge.
Armed Robbery at Hooters On Wednesday, October 22 at 1:38 a.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to an armed robbery at Hooters Restaurant, 2240 NW 19th Street. Officers met with the manager, who said he was in the process of closing the business with another employee, when a male suddenly appeared. The suspect pointed a chrome semi-automatic handgun at them and told them to turn around and take their phones from their pockets. The suspect
then told the employees to take him to the office, where he told the manager to empty the safe. Before the suspect left, he told the employees to count to 100 as he left the restaurant. The suspect left with an undetermined amount of cash. Neither employee was injured. If anyone has information about this crime, please contact Detective Scott Hanley at (561) 338-1344 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS.
Local Attorneys Arrested for Fraud Scheme Two local attorneys, Brian Greenspoon and Cory Meltzer, were arrested on Oct. 30 for involvement in a personal injury protection (pip) fraud scheme. Florida Department of Financial Services’ Division of Insurance Fraud conducted a year-long undercover investigation across three counties: Martin, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. Undercover agents worked in clinics that were billing illegally. According to a press release: “One clinic in particular was billing for services that were never rendered. On several occasions, patients were also found being coached to claim they were injured when they were not.” Clinic workers offered to compensate undercover detectives for referring patients to
specific clinics. Roger Hughes Bell, a chiropractor from Hobe Sound, Alejandro Marin of Homestead, and Douglas Santiago of Boynton Beach were also arrested during the operation. Christina Savoye of Stuart and Ryan Grand of Lake Worth have warrents out for their arrest for involvement as well. “Today’s arrests are the culmination of more than a year of extensive and often dangerous undercover work that has exposed a crime ring responsible for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud,” said CFO Atwater. “I am very proud of our dedicated detectives for their diligent work to hold these criminals accountable.” www.bocaratontribune.com

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen
Life is Unforgiving for Children who Can’t Read. I stopped by a child care center in the northeast section of Delray Beach earlier this week and, as expected, I saw the precious kids at Abby’s Little Angels learning nursery rhymes, working on computers and reading. But one young man stood out. At 2, Master Cyrus can spell his name and knows his shapes – circle, square and triangle. He also knows his alphabet and colors in English and Spanish. The owner and operator, Abagail Denson sees the importance of reading to her young children to promote literacy. She has also made it her quest to produce many more Cyrus in her center. But she needs community support to help foster a love for reading among the kids. Another group that knows the importance of early reading initiatives is the Delray Beach Campaign for Grade Level Reading team. For the third consecutive year, they organized “Delray Reads Day,” which - on Thursday - sent more than 250 community
members into every elementary school in the city. They read the book “Rosie’s Song” by local author Mary Kate Leming. The aim was to help boost third grade reading score. Reading proficiency is a strong predictor of academic success as early as third grade. Three-quarters of children who read poorly in third grade continue to read poorly in high school. Additionally, these children are four times more likely to drop out or fail to graduate from high school on time. Many are not aware that reading is the foundation for learning and is a critical predictor for high school success. Children spend their K-3 years learning how to read. After that, they’re reading to learn. As someone who works with children, I know firsthand that students who don’t read on grade level by then typically don’t catch up. In later grades, coursework gets increasingly difficult. Reading becomes more challenging, and those with reading troubles struggle to cope. This can lead to bad grades, bad behavior,
“checking out” from school and eventually dropping out. The scope of the dropout problem is staggering. Here in Palm Beach County we know that when students drop out of school, communities suffer. We also know children who aren’t reading well by the end of third grade can’t do the classwork and are four times more likely to drop out of high school, according to a major study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. And once they drop out, the statistics get very bleak. Almost 90 percent of teenagers in the juvenile justice system are functionally illiterate. Seven out of 10 adult prisoners can’t read above a fourth grade level, according to the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a nonprofit group focused on education reform. Dropouts make up 90 percent of Americans on welfare and 75 percent of food stamp recipients. The evidence is overwhelming. Illiteracy damages lives.
And the window of opportunity to do something about it closes quickly. On the other hand, children who read well report that they enjoy reading and read for fun almost every day. This starts with a caring adult taking time to read with a child such as what Janet Meeks and her team did with “Delray Reads Day.” Even babies benefit from being read to — it’s never too early to start. The ability to read is a gift that no one should go without. Let’s come together to make sure every student in Palm Beach County public schools know how to read. I am sure you have heard the saying, “it takes a village to raise a child.” It is true — now more than ever, children need the support of the community! Our teachers and schools are working hard to ensure that kids have what they need and they are succeeding. I ask that you get involved in your community to help empower the children with the gift of literacy. For more information, call 561-200-7044.

INTEGRETY MOMENTS By Rick Boxx
The Neglected Virtue of Hard Work A survey conducted by Parade magazine, which appears in newspapers across the United States each week, discovered 51 percent of the 26,000 people polled believe the way people get ahead most effectively in the workplace is by taking advantage of internal corporate politics. Only 27 percent of those questioned said they believed professional advancement came as a result of hard work and diligence. If such a large proportion of working people perceive the best path to receiving promotions and rewards that come with them is through being politically savvy, I am afraid this could become a self-perpetuating prophecy. This would lead many to conclude their personal and professional interests are best served by attempting to undermine their peers and cultivating the good favor of their bosses, rather than
sharpening their work skills. This is unfortunate in many respects. The time-honored virtue of hard work is being forgotten – the recognition that there is honor in a job done well. The beneficiaries of hard work – employers, coworkers dependent on the quality contributions of their peers, suppliers and customers – are being short-changed as workers shift their focus toward manipulating the system to advance their own desires. And the intrinsic value of work, the belief it is noble and fulfilling in itself, also is being ignored. The Bible speaks extensively about work and its importance. Rather than viewing it as “a necessary evil,” the Scriptures assert God ordained work as one of the purposes for mankind. It also points out hard work can and should be recognized and rewarded:
Work is designed to provide for our livelihoods. We all have needs – food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and many more. Throughout human history, work has been the primary means for satisfying those needs. To belittle the value of work is to diminish the satisfaction of being able to provide for your and your family’s needs. “For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: ‘If a man will not work, he shall not eat’” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). Work reflects personal integrity and commitment. When hired by a company or organization, we receive a job description. This details the responsibilities we are expected to perform, and our employers expect us to carry them out with integrity and commitment. Office politics seeks to achieve advancement through the manipulation of relationships rather than by
establishing one’s capabilities as a worker. A better approach may be to apply Proverbs 27:18, which states, “He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.” Work can generate recognition for excellence. True, we can endeavor to ingratiate ourselves to our bosses, but the tried-andtrue method for professional advancement is to become recognized as a person striving for excellence and quality in the work assigned. “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men” (Proverbs 22:29). People around you may be adept at playing political games at work. But let me make a suggestion: Focusing on hard work, while caring for your boss’s interests, may be a better path than playing politics.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Good Will and Good Works! Any good work devoid of good will, ceases from ultimately being truly good. Others may still benefit from the final product, but its quality is inevitably affected by the lack of basic attributes that are essential to bring maximum significance and impact! Deeds that are lasting, and positively affect many while being performed, as well as after they’re completed, must be wholehearted from beginning to end. Partial allegiance to anything will only yield incomplete, even undesirable, results. There are still many people of good will
around the globe, but their number needs to increase everywhere at a consistent pace. Works that are lasting most often originate from the head, heart, and hands of those who truly manifest good will in their relationships to others, and in the achievement of significant results, everywhere! Accomplishments that leave an indelible mark on earth, are always those whose supreme objective is the wellbeing of the largest possible number of people. Selfish motivation, and other attributes that benefit only one’s self, are of short duration,
and limited effect! Most acts of good will may not be rewarded with coveted prizes, besides fame and fortune to the contributor. Yet, these gain the applause of heaven and the immeasurable satisfaction of having affected other lives, far beyond one’s imagination. People of good will who engage in good works, don’t wake up some morning asking themselves “what can I do today that will make me famous, and secure for me a good fortune?” Instead, they simply recognize a need and do what is necessary
to meet it in the most creative way. When such is the motivation, and the noble trajectory being followed, good things happen, many persons are aided, and long-lasting, positive outcomes continue to occur, even long after the originator and implementer of that dream is gone from earth! What are you thinking now? What are you desirous of facilitating, or improving, or tangibly upholding as your eager and legitimate legacy to those you leave behind? Put your hands to the plough now, and get going before it is too late!

FAU’s College of Nursing Celebrates First-Ever White Coat Ceremony

Right to left: FAU Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing freshmen Zachory Johnson and Christopher Demezier display their white coats, pins and Nightingale lamps at FAU’s first-ever white coat ceremony for the College of Nursing
Nearly 100 freshmen Florida Atlantic University nursing students recently took part in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing’s first-ever white coat ceremony at the Boca Raton campus. FAU was one of only four universities in Florida, and 100 nationwide, to receive funding for this ceremony through a joint initiative of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation (APGF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. These pilot white coat ceremonies were designed “to instill a commitment to providing compassionate care among future health professionals” and “to promote humanistic,
patient-centered care among incoming nursing students,” according to the APGF, themes that closely align with the College of Nursing’s caring-centered approach to the nursing profession. “The white coat ceremony was a very meaningful event that marked special milestones for our University, College and students,” said Marlaine Smith, Ph.D., dean of the College of Nursing. “We are grateful to the Arnold P. Gold Foundation and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing for including us in this movement in modern nursing education.”

In addition to being the first nursing white coat ceremony of its kind at FAU, the College also welcomed its first class of freshmen nursing students this fall as part of the College’s new freshman-direct admission program, which allows outstanding freshmen to begin their nursing studies immediately, while in their first semester at FAU. Though white coat ceremonies have been a common tradition for medical students over the last two decades, the events are rare for nursing schools. Students recited an oath to the profession and received white coats, commemorative pins provided by the APGF and Nightingale lamps, a symbol of Florence Nightingale’s image of “the lady with the lamp,” signifying the light that nursing brings to the darkness of suffering,
vulnerability and despair. The ceremony included a keynote address by Angela Prestia, chief nursing officer of Good Samaritan Medical Center. Also in attendance at the ceremony were FAU Provost Gary Perry and members of the College of Nursing Advisory Board. The APGF is a public, 501(c)(3) not-forprofit organization that emphasizes humanistic medical care and works with healthcare professionals to foster a culture of respect, dignity and compassion for patients and professionals. The foundation was established in 1988 by Arnold Gold, MD, Sandra Gold, Ed.D. and their colleagues at the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons.
Observant Citizens and Quick Response By Police Net Burglar On October 16th at 12:00 pm, a contractor working in the area of 1334 SW 14th Street noticed a person walking out of a house, carrying two full backpacks. The contractor notified a neighbor who called police and followed the suspect down 14th street. The first responding officer saw a person matching the description of the suspect walking in the yard of 1174 SW 12th Avenue. The suspect was told to stop, but refused and entered the residence. Investigators contacted the homeowner who said her grandson Kendrick Bah-
rnes, who matched the description of the suspect, lived with her at that address and should be home. The homeowner agreed to come home and gave the officers permission to enter the house. Once inside the home, Bahrnes responded to verbal commands to come out and was arrested. Upon being questioned, Bahrnes admitted to entering the home at 1334 SW 14th Street by breaking a back window. He also admitted to stealing multiple items from the home. Bahrnes was charged with Burglary to a Structure.

Palm Beach Film Festival
The Palm Beach Film Festival was held at the Eau Hotel in Manalapan on Saturday evening. We walked into the hotel and were greeted by our host and hostess Yvonne and Al Zucaro. We were shown into a party room where two young ladies were making apple martinis which were delicious. I spotted many familiar faces in the crowd from Boca Raton including Jon and Bonnie Kaye, Arlene Herson and Bob Fraiberg. Cyndi Bertakis, former Congressman Mark Foley and several others We were than escorted into the main ballroom where a buffet dinner was being served consisting of Prime Rib, Caesar Salad, assorted sliders, and several different
pasta dishes. A great band played dance music for the crowd. Several award presentations were made the first by Yvonne Boice Zucaro, the PBFF Chairman to George Elmore for 20 years of dedication to the film festival. The next award was presented to Eva Hill of Britannia Pacific Properties which owns the Eau Hotel and the last award went to Randi Emerman for her 20 years of dedication to the film festival and Randi accepted an award for actor Joe Manganiello who could not attend the event due to a scheduling conflict as he is shooting the new Magic Mike movie in Georgia.

You are not likely to find a more gorgeous stage musical than “Cinderella,” playing through Nov. 2 at the Arsht Center in Miami. The production will travel to Kravis Center in West Palm Beach Nov. 11-16. This is the first national touring production of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical that first saw light as a 1957 television special, starring a young Julie Andrews. It was at the time the most-watched television show in history. R&H reteamed for a stage musical in 1965 starring Leslie Ann Warren. A 1997 revival starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. Most of us remember “Cinderella” from the 1950 Walt Disney animated version. The stage version of the story is much simpler, based on a European folk story hundreds of years old and popularized in English by the Brothers Grimm as one of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” in the 19th century. The national tour boasts fabulous costumes and nifty stage effects, which include a har-
ness that enables Marie (Kecia Lewis) the Fairy Godmother to levitage and soar above the Arsht Center stage. Kecia Lewis is one of several delights as one of the sauciest Godmothers you will ever see. Soprano Paige Faure is so tiny, doll-like and slim she embodies the fairy-like spirit named Ella, called Cinderella by her cruel stepmother named Madame (Beth Glover) and her selfish stepsisters Charlotte (Aymee Garcia) and Gabrielle (Ashley Park). Prince Charming in this edition is called Topher (Andy Jones), short for Christopher. Jones is a handsome, fine tenor befitting his character. The manipulative Sebastion, the Prince’s chief advisor, is played with gusto and humor by Blake Hammond. The good guy who fights for villagers rights is Jean-Michel, played by David Andino. One of the best voices in the cast belongs to Antoine L. Smith as Lord Pinkerton, who serves as a kind of herald. One of the most amzing things about the show is Cinderella’s incredibly fast costume changes before our very eyes. One minute she is Ella the cinder girl and the next her dress and even her hair are changed for the enchanting girl who will instantly win the Prince’s heart. If you have young daughters, bring them to “Cinderella.” They will feel enchanted too. For ticket information call the Arsht Center at 305-949-6722 or TicketMaster at 800745-3000. For Kravis Center call 800-5728471 or go to www.kravis.org.

columnists the truth about life insurance
FAITH By Robert J. Tamasy
How Do You Handle Your Anger? Of all the many emotions we display and encounter during a typical workday, anger is probably the most common. There are many reasons for this, but since I am not a psychologist I will not speculate on all the causes. I do think we can agree there are many angry people in the workplace these days. Perhaps you are one of them. Sometimes unreasonable deadlines and work pressures spark anger. Unfulfilled goals and unrealized expectations can leave us feeling angry. Conflicts with colleagues and coworkers, especially those having personalities that do not mesh with our own, can arouse our ire. We carry conflict from home to work, or from work to our homes, leading to unexpected and often unjustified displays of anger. Some of us have grown up with anger boiling inside of us, just waiting for an excuse to explode. In most instances, uncontrolled expressions of anger are detrimental, causing damage that proves difficult to repair. So how do we handle it? When someone bumps our emotional bucket and anger starts to spill out, what can we do? Recently I was reading a story about a businessman who thought he had succeeded in being awarded a major contract. This transaction deal would have been the largest in his company’s history, taking his department’s production to unprecedented heights. Unfortunately, before the agreement was formalized the potential clients had a change of heart and elected to work with another company instead. Understandably, the business executive was extremely disappointed. In fact, he became more than that. He boiled with anger and considered storming into the headquarters of the client that had reneged on the deal.
He would inform anyone and everyone how wrongfully his company had been treated. If his angry thoughts had been bullets, a lot of people would have been wounded. Before acting on this impulse, however, he took some time to calm down and ultimately decided to remain silent. He reasoned that although a strong display of emotion would feel cathartic, it would gain nothing. Since anger is so pervasive, the Bible has much to say about it. Here are just a few examples: Seek to resolve disagreements promptly. Conflict is normal, but if we allow angry feelings to seethe and simmer, the magnitude of the dispute can escalate far beyond what is warranted. “In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry…” (Ephesians 4:26). Do not let anger turn into bitterness. Disagreements usually can be resolved, but harboring angry feelings can lead to bitterness that damages, even destroys relationships. “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice” (Ephesians 4:31). Listening, rather than speaking, can quell angry outbursts. It often helps to keep silent and listen, rather than quickly responding angrily when provoked. Sometimes we become angry simply because we fail to properly understand what someone is saying. Even if we still disagree, calmly discussing differences is more productive than angry demonstrations. “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires” (James 1:19-20).

The Black Box of Underwriting Sex, Drugs and Genetics Overweight by 20 pounds? On high blood pressure medication? Smoke an occasional cigar? Most people feel certain that any one of these will increase their life insurance premiums. In most cases, they don’t. As a life insurance buyer, you should expect to pay the lowest possible premiums and receive the best rate class the company offers, based on your specific information. It is the responsibility of your agent to fight for the most appropriate rate for your specific circumstances. Sadly, too many people are not paying the lowest possible premiums. Don’t let incorrect information prevent you from taking advantage of better policies and lower premiums. The difference between one or two rate classes can lower premiums by 20% or more. The underwriting process is a blend of art, skill and experience. The key is full disclosure on your part. The improvements in medical technology are leading to lower premiums. Better medical technology equates to more people reaching life expectancy and consequently, premiums are trending lower. In other words, improved mortality is a significant factor in determining premium rates. The following issues require good underwriting management. They do not prevent you from getting competitive offers. There are many factors considered by a good life insurance underwriter and the more information you and the agent provide, the more likely an underwriter is to apply the appropriate credits: • Extra weight. This is, by far, one of the most misunderstood risk factors. Most people carrying extra weight are far off in their estimation of how their premiums will be affected. Typically, unless the extra weight puts you in the obese class or is causing other medical problems, added pounds do not automatically warrant a rate increase. Cardiovascular disease. Many life insurance companies excel at underwriting these cases. If there is good follow up and control, many insurance companies will consider standard rates after a few years. • Cancer. If you have had cancer in the past, you have a good chance of getting a policy with standard or preferred rates, depending on the history and your current health. Do not assume the worst; this is a classic mistake made by people and their advisors, including their physicians.
• Diabetes. People with Type 1 diabetes typically have impaired life expectancies across the board, so your rates will depend on how well controlled your condition is and what you need to control it. If well controlled, Type 2 should lead to a smaller spike in rates. • Mood Stabilizing Drugs, Depression, Psychotherapy. If you’re taking medication for an ongoing depressive condition (meaning it’s more than just a temporary state due to, say, a loved one’s death), you will probably see higher rates, but typically not what most people expect. • Family history. If immediate family members have had serious or hereditary conditions, that may prevent you from getting preferred rates. The biggest culprits here are cardiovascular disease (especially if a parent died from it before 60), cancer and diabetes. • Cholesterol & High Blood Pressure. Controlled high cholesterol and blood pressure, by themselves, typically do not add extra cost or deny you preferred rates. With these conditions, it is all about control. • Nicotine use. The use of nicotine comes in many delivery systems and life insurance companies are not consistent about this topic. Using the Installment Payout Option (www.InstallmentLife) can help smokers reduce their premiums by as much as 40% per year. • Driving History. If you have more than two moving violations in the last three years, you likely won’t be able to get the best life insurance rates. • Substance abuse. It is impossible to generalize with substance abuse history. However, with disclosure and these issues legitimately being in the rearview mirror, life insurance can be obtained at standard rates. • Lifestyle/Career Issues. Any hazardous, regular activities such as rock climbing, motorized racing, skydiving, ultralight flying, hang gliding, and scuba diving could increase life insurance premiums. While some companies increase rates for firefighters and police officers, many do not. Working with an experienced agent is crucial. Knowing which companies excel in the various issues mentioned above and not being afraid to challenge underwriters are only a few examples of the value received from an experienced professional.

FAU Presents The Photo-Based Art Exhibition ‘Altarations: Built, Blended, Processed’
The University Galleries in Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters will present “Altarations: Built, Blended, Processed,” an exhibition of photo-based art, in both of its galleries in late 2014 and early 2015. The first half of the exhibition will open in the Schmidt Center Gallery on Thursday, Nov. 20, and the second half will open in the Ritter Art Gallery on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015. Both galleries are located at 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. “Altarations: Built, Blended, Processed” presents works by more than 20 contemporary artists. Most of the artists live and work throughout the United States while a few reside in other countries including Israel, Denmark and Peru. While hardly unified in style and content, the artists’ works in “Altarations” blend photographic images and processes to produce works that celebrate, contradict and undermine photographic traditions through altered images and references. The title of the exhibition is derived from Mark C. Taylor’s “Altarity,”a 1987 book of philosopher Taylor’s writing that brings together his interpretation and synthesis of several modern philosophers’ interpretations of difference and otherness. The artists included in the exhibition em-
ploy practices that simultaneously subvert photographic traditions while also employing the medium’s salient characteristics that revolve around the physics of light and light sensitive chemistries, some of which use this property to relate and respond to digital image making technologies. While some are dubious and work against computermediated imaging and printing techniques, many of the artists in “Altarations” employ and fully embrace digital image-making processes. In addition, several of the photographers are also painters and their work in the exhibition employs processes akin to photography such as scanning, the much older process of hand-made collage, and in one case, painting abstractly over old family snapshots. Stylistically, the artists use or reference to formal or geometric abstraction unifies their work in this exhibition. While the exhibition’s title refers to altering photographic images, a ubiquitous practice in our image-saturated culture, the photobased art in the exhibition has a much more narrow focus than the work of artists who manipulate photographs. The exhibition focuses on artists whose photo-based works are strategically built through combining, blending and processing images that strongly veer toward formal abstraction
while also systematically doubling down on visual and social aspects of contemporary image-making technologies and phenomena. The works in “Altarations” reflect on contemporary image making, consumption and proliferation as well as how the latter seemingly permeates every corner of contemporary life. The exhibition was selected by co-curators W. Rod Faulds, director of FAU’s University Galleries, and Jeanie Giebel, FAU Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate (2013), who is currently a curatorial assistant at the Margulies Collection in Miami. Both will contribute essays to a catalogue to be published to document the exhibition. The “Altarations” catalogue will also include an essay by Heather Diack, assistant professor of art history from the University of Miami, who is an expert in conceptual art and the history of photography. The curators admit that “Altarations” is influenced by recent exhibitions in New York that have resonance internationally in contemporary art and photographic circles. These exhibitions include “What is A Photograph?” and “A World of Its Own: Photographic Practices in the Studio” at the International Center of Photography (ICP) and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
respectively. While narrower in scope than both of these exhibitions “Altarations” is like no other photography exhibition presented at South Florida museums or university galleries in recent memory. The first part of the exhibition will open in the Schmidt Center Gallery on Thursday, Nov. 20 with a 7 p.m. lecture by participating Miami artist Maria Martinez-Cañas. Cañas is one of five artists in the exhibition that co-curator Faulds considers to be historical rudders for the rest of the exhibition. The other artists, James Welling, Ellen Carey, Barbara Kasten and Penelope Umbrico, have created precedent setting work for more than 20 years. Whether or not their works influenced or are even known by the mostly younger artists in the exhibition, their works provide a strong example of the themes and sensibilities running throughout the exhibition’s diverse abstract works. The second part of the exhibition will open in the Ritter Art Gallery on Thursday, Jan. 14, 2015 with a public opening event to be followed by additional public programs featuring several exhibiting artists. These programs will be announced by December.

Veteran Lawyer Opens New Law Firm in Boca Raton By Veronica Rodriguez
While a typical visit to your lawyer’s office does not exactly inspire happy thoughts, my recent visit to Scott J. Topolski’s office was driven by a more celebratory cause than a lawsuit; having spent the last 27 years as a practicing Boca partner, the seasoned litigator set out to spread his wings in an office by himself. He is now six weeks into heading his own practice, and we were interested in getting to know more about our newest neighbor in the Boca business community. Mr. Topolski, who politely welcomes me into his new office space, has a friendly demeanor which I soon find out is a product of his talkative nature. In fact, Topolski not only obtained his Bachelor’s in Journalism and Communication, but his Law Degree was pursued with the prospective intent of pursuing a career in politics, if not law. Needless to say, he decided to continue into law and now, his voice has found itself a comfortable home in the demanding courts he frequents as a trial lawyer. Having originally obtained his degree from New Jersey, Topolski’s happy memories from visits to family in the Sunshine State eventually gave him enough impetus to obtain a Florida license in 1994 and move here in 1997. “My wife and I hate the cold weather,” he admits. “We were visiting twice a year, we thought it would be a better
Do You or a Loved One Struggle on the Stairs?
environment to raise children in, property values were less, you put the whole package together and it just kind of led us down here.” Since then, it seems Topolski has been pretty adamant about practicing in Boca Raton. From Szymoniak & Ridge, P.A. to Buckingham, Doolittle & Burroughs, L.L.P., Topolski has made his way around firms in the city, collecting top-notch reviews from his colleagues along the way. (His hard work has resulted in top ratings on Avvo and Martindale- Hubbell.) So it seems Boca was the natural choice when it came to picking the perfect location for his new practice. “I live in Boca,” he affirms, “my kids go to school in Boca, this is where my life is, and when I decided to open my own office, I wanted to stay in Boca.” The idea had existed for some time, but the Topolski Law Firm, P.A. finally opened its doors on September 15. Volume-driven, focused on quick results and attention to detail, are the words he used to characterize his law firm when I prompted him. As for the lawyer, he prides himself on being “extraordinarily responsive.” “If you contact me, whether by phone or by email, I will get back to you that day. Even if I’m on the road, even if I’m in court, even if I’m in a conference, I will get back to you that day.”

Freezer Test Proves Purity Omax3® was shown in lab tests to be 91% pure, free of bad fats and toxins. You can prove this by freezing your own fish oil. Put a pill of your store bought brand of omega3 in the freezer overnight. Then put Omax3® Ultra PureTM in the freezer overnight. The difference is clear. The store bought brand will be cloudy, even a solid white. This is caused by the bad fats and toxins solidifying, which your body doesn’t need. Omax3® will remain clear, which equals safety and effectiveness. Fewer Pills Better Results The patented delivery system gives you 1.5g per serving in just two easy to swallow liquid gel capsules, compared to the 6-12 you would need to take of a store bought formula. This means fewer pills equals greater results, you can feel. Pharmaceutical Strength You now get the extreme health benefits you deserve and at the lowest possible price and without the fish burps! If you’re worried about cholesterol, painful joints,
Doctor Recommended “As a neurosurgeon I stand behind the breakthrough of the 4:1 ratio of EPA/DHA that makes up Omax3®. It’s simply the most effective.

Lynn Basketball Shows-Off in Exhibition Rout It may only be the preseason but Lynn University’s men’s basketball 2014-15 debut was a high-flying success in a 94-53 victory over Brunel on Monday night. Newcomer David Johnson led a contingent of four Fighting Knights in doubledigit scoring with 13 points on 6-of-12 attempts and Cory Thomas added 10 points and two blocks. Lynn took control of the boards early and often, out rebounding Brunel 48-33 overall, including 22 on the offensive end. The Blue & White also flashed a defensive style that was missing the previous year: constant pressure. The team logged 23 steals in the contest, with seven coming via new point guard Russell Wilson. After falling behind 4-3 nearly two minutes into play, the Fighting Knights went on a 28-3 run over a 10 minute span and the rout was on. Johnson scored on three consecutive possessions and was followed by Wilson adding two more baskets to key the run. With 6:24 left in the opening half, Lynn began to bring the excitement to the packed house as Johnson stole a pass from Prince Lartey and went coast-to-coast with a one-handed dunk. Benjamin Berry then gave fans something to remember during halftime when he collected a pass from
Fred Landers and slammed it home over a Brunel defender. Lynn went to the locker room leading 47-12. The Fighting Knights looked to the second half to evaluate their bench and were not disappointed as 11 players combined for 48 points. Pavle Raickovic added 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting with a teamhigh eight rebounds, Dante Scholl added 10 points while hitting 2-of-3 attempts from beyond the three-point arc and freshman Vanderbilt Carpenter tallied three assists in a limited role off the bench. It was Thomas, though, who topped the night off with a thundering dunk which shook the de Hoernle Sports & Cultural Center. With time winding down in the game, the senior center flashed his athleticism by stealing a pass mid-air at center court, sprinting past two defenders and leveling a tomahawk dunk. The Fighting Knights shot 46.8 percent from the field, 30 percent from beyond the arc and 82.4 percent at the free-throw line while holding Brunel to 37.5 percent shooting overall, including 22.2 percent from downtown. Additionally, the Blue & White forced 34 turnovers.
FAU Football Suffers First Home Loss Of 2014 The Florida Atlantic University football team suffered its first home loss of 2014 season with a 31-28 decision to UAB, thanks to a 24-yard field goal in the closing seconds, on Saturday. UAB (5-4, 3-2 C-USA) owned the first half of the contest, racking up 291 yards of offense while holding the Owls (3-6, 2-3 C-USA) to 46 total yards and two first downs. “You have to give UAB a lot of credit for the way they performed in the first half,” FAU Head Coach Charlie Partridge said. “They got a big head start on us and made a couple of big plays.” The Blazers drove 68 yards to score on their first possession when Jordan Howard kicked off his big night with a 4-yard touchdown run. The Owls responded in the second quarter when Kamrin Solomon blocked a UAB punt and recovered the ball on the Blazers’ 11-yard line. Two plays later, Jaquez Johnson found Lucky Whitehead on a nine-yard pass to tie score at seven. UAB would find the end zone twice more before halftime on a 78-yard pass from Cody Clements to JJ Nelson and a 32-yard run by D.J. Vinson to take a 21-7 lead. The Blazers were forced to punt on their
November 7 - 13, 2014
first drive of the second half, but FAU’s Whitehead muffed the punt, giving UAB the ball on the Owls’ 19-yard line. Four plays later, Howard picked up his second score of the night, on a seven-yard carry, to increase the lead to a game-high 28-7. FAU would get into the red zone on the ensuing drive, but Greg Joseph’s 24-yard field goal attempt was blocked. Johnson took control in the fourth quarter, throwing 10-of-13 for 103 yards and two touchdowns. On the first drive of the frame, he led the Owls 73 yards in 3:06, finding Alex Deleon for a 16-yard score, cutting the lead to 28-14. The defense stood strong, forcing UAB into a 3-and-out to give FAU the ball back just one minute later. After an incompletion on first down, Johnson completed four-consecutive passes to get into the red zone. Senior Tony Moore then ran it in from five yards out to make it a one-possession game with just under ten minutes to play. On a third-and-seven on FAU’s next drive, Johnson scrambled 29 yards to the UAB 22. He gave FAU its 21st point on its 21st play of the quarter, a seven-yard touchdown pass to Whitehead to tie the game
at 28 apiece. UAB ate up the clock on the final drive, going 64 yards in 12 plays to get to the FAU seven-yard line. Kicker Ty Long then drilled the game-winning field goal as the clock ticked down to two seconds. On the ensuing kickoff, D’Joun Smith picked his way into UAB territory, but was taken down at the 43-yard line with zeros on the clock. “It was a chance for us to fight back, I’m proud of the kids for that,” Partridge said. “These kids continue to show character and continue to fight as we build this
www.bocaratontribune.com
program and that’s something that we will continue to build on.” Johnson’s night ended with 177 yards and three scores through the air along with 44--rushing yards and an interception. Moore carried the ball 10 times for 45 yards and a score while Whitehead tallied 89 all-purpose yards. Five Owls set their career highs for tackles, led by Sharrod Neasman’s 14 total and eight solo tackles. Three of Andrae Kirk’s 12 tackles went down for losses as he led FAU to 13 tackles for loss on the night.

MBala, Emslie, Arnadottir & Hauksdottir Earn All-Conference Honors
Pope Smashes St. Andrew’s In Rivalry Game By Jihad Shatara
Two premiere Boca Raton private schools would go head to head on Thursday night. The eagles of Pope John Paul, would take down the Scots of St. Andrew’s in a classic high school rivalry game. It would be a dismal start for Pope John Paul. St. Andrew’s would score on a blocked punt safety. On the ensuing drive, St. Andrew’s would drive down the field and score on a 2-yard touchdown pass to make the score 9-0. Pope would answer though with a 5-yard touchdown from Ryan Rizk to Bryce Segui. That combination has been a threat all season long. Turnovers and penalties would kill both teams all night long. The Scots put the ball on the ground four times while ac-
cumulating 93 yards in penalties. However, the Eagles would also have some costly penalties down the stretch along with two interceptions. Eventually Pope would pull away with three straight touchdowns. Ryan Rizk to Dominic Milanese on a 35-yard touchdown pass would seal the game and help Pope pull away with a 44-15 victory. Pope had another outstanding night offensively with 379 total yards. Defensively, they hald St. Andrew’s to -8-yards rushing. Other Notable Games: • Boca Raton 20 John I.

Pope John Paul Loses To Calvary Christian In Playoffs Four Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer players were named to All-Conference USA teams on Tuesday, as announced today by the conference office. Senior Olivia MBala ends her collegiate career as the Conference-USA Defensive Player of the Year and also holds a firstteam All-Conference slot. Junior Claire Emslie was named to the All-Conference second team for the second consecutive year, while Asta Arnadottir and Hildur Hauksdottir earned Freshman All-Conference titles in their debut seasons. MBala, a repeat First Team honoree, led a defense that ranked fourth in Conference C-USA in goals allowed per match at 1.05. The Owls gave up multiple goals just twice in C-USA play and shut out the No. 1 team in North Texas on Oct. 17. MBala scored three goals on the season, including the game-winner at Miami in which she controlled the ball from midfield and battled through six defenders to score. She also scored the tying goal against Old Dominion to send the match to overtime and her third goal came against Rice on Senior Day. Emslie has carved her name in the FAU record books as one of the most prolific scorers in program history. The Scotland
native moved into seventh place all-time at FAU with 22 career goals and is just six shy of the career record that has stood for 20 years. Her five goals this season were a team high, as were her three assists. Emslie scored game-winning goals in FAU’s opener at USF on Aug. 22 and scored two goals at Cal Poly on Aug. 31. She also scored against Rice and UTEP in C-USA play. Arnadottir started every game for FAU and scored her first career goal against C-USA favorite Charlotte in the conference opener on Sept. 26. Her second goal of the season came at UTSA in the 87th minute to tie the match and send it to overtime. Arnadottir also tacked on an assist against Bakersfield on Sept. 19. Hauksdottir scored her first career goal at Miami in FAU’s 2-1 win on Sept. 7. The freshmen then scored in back-to-back games against Bakersfield and Wofford, including the game-winner against the Terriers on Sept. 21.
