FBI Raids Boca Medical Supply Firm By CRA News Service
Investigators from several law enforcement and regulatory agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday raided a Medicare and medical supply company, which has ties to Danny Porush, who helped inspire the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”. The agents spent hours removing several boxes and computers from the MedCare Diabetic & Medical Supplies company, at 933 Clint Moore Road. Authorities were tight lipped about the operation, saying only that were “conducting law enforcement activity.”

Community Martin Luther King Day Interfaith Service in Boca Raton Marked 30 Year Partnership

to be one of her last public appearances. The relationship between these two congregations was initiated in 1984 when Congregation B’nai Israel approached Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, the largest and oldest African-American church in Boca Raton. The early 1980s was a time of reported conflict between Jewish and Black relations in the U.S. and the two congregations wanted to do something locally to quell the negativity. The first Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. interfaith service was held in 1985, the year before this day became a
Congregation B’nai Israel and Ebenezer Baptist church held a joint Martin Luther King Day interfaith service on Sunday, January 18 at the church. The service marked a 30-year partnership between the two religious institutions, both in Boca Raton, which join forces twice each year to further the cause of Black-Jewish relations in Palm Beach County and to help feed families in need. The guest speaker at the service was Reverend Henry Willis, the former Pastor of Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church. The service was a powerful and uplifting
tribute to Dr. King, filled with musical and spiritual offerings from both congregations. Reverend Winston Anderson, Rabbi Robert A. Silvers, the Cantor’s Chantors (CBI’s choir) and B’nai’s Big Beat Band led by Cantor Stephanie Shore all participated in the service. In November, the two religious institutions fed Thanksgiving dinner to nearly 4,000 families in need. And, in 2014, Congregation B’nai Israel hosted the late Dr. Maya Angelou as part of the 2014 Martin Luther King Day partnership, in what turned out
Armand Grossman Drops Out of City Council Race
After being the target of a website bearing his name and a mass-mailed postcard attacking him for business dealings that had resulted in state disciplinary action against his real estate license, Armand Grossman, a retired educator who also worked for a development company in town, is dropping out of the race. “Before I was even qualified, I was person-

ally attacked by a special interest group with information that was inaccurate and could impact my family and profession,” said a written statement released by his political consultant.The attack website which used Grossman’s name and the postcards that were sent out had focused on a 2000 investigation into a real estate course he ran. The state Department of Business and Professional Regulation closed the investigation when Grossman paid $1,000 in restitution and $500 in fines. However, the attack website suggested more attacks were coming. One of the main reasons Grossman was running for office was his desire to keep Boca Raton a beautiful place to live, however he decided that the campaign against him was a stain on this desire and so he decided to drop out. Although he is not ready to endorse a candidate just yet, Grossman attended the kickoff event for one of the three remaining candidates, Jamie Sauer.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen
Give Credit When Its Due I just learned of the threat on Facebok by two Delray Beach men to murder two local police officers. Well, I was relieved to learn that authorities had previously issued a warrant for the arrest of one of the suspects. One of the students I mentor asked me why is there so much hate directed towards police officers when they are do much good things for people? I told the 9-year-old, that they don’t hate the police; they are just copy cats seeking to massage their own egos on Facebook (social media). I trust that I am correct. As I reflect on the relationship between the local police department and the city, it would be naïve of me to say it is a perfect one. However, I can declare without reservation that the department has made remarkable improvement and continues to make efforts to improve the bond they have forged with all segments of the city. Anyone who has been around 25 years or more can attest to this. The recent string of well-publicized police killings of unarmed blacks and the nationwide wave of mass protests by young, multiethnic crowds, has once again brought the issue of police and race from the backburner
of ethnic-studies classes to the forefront of public debate. And except for a fracas earlier this month, around New Year’s Day, there has not been any protests in the city. Delray Beach Police Chief Jeffrey Goldman is making a genuine effort to build coalitions with all sectors of the city. Among his first order of business after taking the helm a few months ago was to hold a community meeting where he outlined his strategy for working with the residents in the black neighborhood to curb to rash of shootings and weed out the criminals. Two weeks ago, all except two of his leadership team, participated in a Stop the Violence march and rally on a Saturday morning. And there was strong police representation at MLK observances around the city this past weekend. Perhaps the most telling of Goldman’s commitment was seeing him at the breakfast Monday morning and a walk from Community Center on NW 1st Avenue, along Atlantic Avenue, to Pompey Park later that afternoon. That’s not lip service. That’s what I call practicing what you preach. Delray Beach police today enjoys a relation-
ship with its residents unlike that of any other municipality its size in Palm Beach County. But this did not happen overnight. It took years of street work by several patrolmen working in the trenches. including officers Terence Scott, Michael Coleman, Michael Mochette, John Evans, John CraneBaker, Sargent John Battilora, and Goldman who was a sergeant then. Much of the credit must be given to Chief Richard Overman, the visionary who took over the agency riddled with prejudice and unprofessionalism and ushered it from that mindset into the accredited agency it is today. And while many maintain that the department has been practicing community policing since Overman’s retirement, such theory is often debated. Until last school year, one could find a member of the detective division in one of the area schools forging relationships with students –to gather intelligence but mostly to diffuse stereotypes they may have had about the police. It was normal to see officers playing basketball with the students after school at Village Academy. And then there were those who introduced students to fishing, golfing,
horseback riding and martial arts. It warmed my heart this Christmas to learn that officers in a Detroit suburb handed over holiday gifts instead of speeding tickets. The unsuspecting drivers had no idea that the officers were on a live radio, which was being broadcast to a team of shoppers ready to sprint through stores and rush over surprise purchases. They received TVs, an Xbox, Legos, and other exciting items that brought tears of joy to some of the recipients. A TV station paid for the gifts, so not penny of taxpayer money was used. The result: a creative, pay-it-forward approach to leaving a positive impact. Just two weeks ago, at the Stop the Violence rally, I watched as a detective tossed a football at some boys in the patch of grass nearby. Such action can’t be mandated as part of a beat, it comes from the heart. Rather than having a negative experience with the police, this act of kindness created a positive interaction and paved the way for strong police-citizen relations in this AllAmerica City. C.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Extend Hospitality, Not Hostility! It’s preferable for one to have a “yes face” instead of a “no face.” Both types exist in any society and each represents a basic attitude toward people in general, and to the ones who are potential acquaintances or true friends. The “yes face” people are to ones more ready to extend hospitality to another, while those who wear a “no face” retain a posture of hostility toward anyone, even without a specific reason. The idea of hospitality is as old as the human race. Throughout the narratives of the Old Testament Scriptures one notices several examples of the patriarchs of old being surprised by the arrival of strangers at the doors of their tents, without denying a welcome and whatever assistance was needed by the
visitors. Throughout the history of human kind countless, similar episodes are found in which this positive quality toward others has been, and continues to be, a significant factor extended by people of many races, religions, occupying a great variety of lands around the globe. In the 21st century people tend to live very independently, and sometimes manifest selfish life-styles. While many can act in a cordial way toward others, not everyone displays that important characteristic, known as hospitality. Obviously, we live at a time when extra caution needs to be maintained toward people, until a greater sense of trust and security can be established in relation to others. But
that in itself should not prevent that pleasant steps be taken in that direction. Obviously, hospitality must first exist in one’s heart before it becomes an external reality in personal relationships. Yet, hospitality is not limited to opening one’s home to anyone at anytime, for anything. But one’s heart can remain hospitable as we meet people in the neighborhood we live, among our coworkers, toward people we see with certain frequency in a restaurant, in stores, and other locations which we and they visit regularly. While hospitality may take a variety of formats among those who practice it, there is no compulsion in having to open one’s home for other people, whether for a visit, for a meal, or even for overnight stays. Some
persons can do that with ease while others, unable to do so, may still be champions at hospitality in their interactions with other humans. You can practice hospitality wherever you are, by the attitudes you display, by the gentle encouragement you provide, by the wise advice you may offer, and by countless meaningful ways that impact other lives and make them truly feel at home in your presence. Most of all, it is to make people sense that you are a veritable hospitality center on which they may depend at times of distress, or for any other type of special need, and to which they may go without fear of rejection! Hostility, on the other hand, can and should be avoided altogether!

A Boca Raton attorney’s step-by-step guide for how to avoid a DUI arrest has gone viral and led to some outcry from people who see it as a guide on how to get away with drunk driving. Warren Redlich, a former Libertarian party candidate for N.Y. governor in 2010, has offices of The Redlich Law Firm in both Boca Raton and Albany. The video, which he claims is only meant to prevent false arrests, was uploaded to YouTube on Jan. 1. It has been viewed nearly 2 million times. The video starts with the sober driver preparing to enter a DUI checkpoint in Levy County. He puts his driver’s license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance in a Ziploc bag. He added a flier from fairdui.org which reads, “I remain silent, no searches, I want my lawyer.” It also cites sections of Florida law explaining that the driver does not have to open his window and hand the officer his documents, simply show them to him. “The second that you open the window they can say they smell alcohol or drugs emitting from the vehicle and the moment you speak a word they can claim that your speech is slurred,” the man in the video says. After some initial confusion, the deputies running the checkpoint examine the baggie
School Board Begins Superintendent Search By Fred Hamilton
It appears that Palm Beach County School Board members will conduct a nationwide search for their next leader. The Board met recently to begin its search for a replacement for Superintendent E. Wayne Gent, who announced earlier this month that he did not want to renew his three-year contract after it expires in June. At their Jan. 14 meeting, Board members extended Gent’s employment contract from May 31 to July 3, 2015; with the ability to extend his contract monthly as needed. It was clear that they do not plan to hire an interim superintendent. School Board members hope to hire their next superintendent by May 31. “There is no more important role for any school district than that of superintendent,” School Board Chairman Chuck Shaw said in a letter sent to parents and stakeholders this week. “I am confident that, working together, we will put a process in place that will yield the right leader enabling us to continue providing a world-class education to our students.” Gent’s replacement will be the fourth superintendent in as many years. And already,
Boca Lawyer’s Controversial Video On How To Get Away With Drunk Driving Goes Viral and wave the car on its way without saying a word. The video goes on to show the scene from several different camera views inside the car. Redlich said that he’s not trying to encourage drunk driving. “I really believe this matters, I really believe this is important for people to assert their constitutional rights,” he told WPTV Ch-5. The video, he added, is not designed for drunks. “I don’t think it really works for drunks because you have to follow instructions and drunks aren’t good at that,” he said. Some concerned viewers don’t see it that way. Tara Kirschner, who works for the safe-driving organization Dori Saves Lives, said police are there to keep roads safe, not violate drivers’ rights. “It’s not the example we want to set for our youth. We want them to learn how to do the right things,” Kirschner said. Lawyers and law enforcement officials told WPTV that there wasn’t anything illegal about using this tactic at a DUI checkpoint, but opinions varied as to whether the same method could work at a traffic stop. FairDUI.org has several different versions of the flyers, as traffic laws vary state to state.

Delray Full Service Center Offers “Read to Succeed” Literacy Program for Adults By Jason Schwartz
Palm Beach County School District wants to eradicate illiteracy in adults across the county. So on Tuesday, it launched an initiative at Delray Full Service Center for adult students who read poorly – or not at all. One in seven adults in Palm Beach County cannot read and understand information found in books, newspapers, magazines, brochures and manuals, according to The Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County. Too often, people who can’t read feel embarrassed and go to great extremes to hide their difficulties from their friends and family. Turning the stigma and embarrassment of illiteracy into a triumphant victory for each student is a key goal of the three-monthlong Read to Succeed program. Instructors and staff members are trained in the unique sensitivity needs of students with
reading problems. During the three-hour class sessions, students receive 30 minutes of one-on-one tutoring as well as additional reinforcement activities each daily. Read to Succeed was developed primarily to assist students who enroll in General Equivalency Diploma preparation courses yet do not have the reading skills to make significant learning gains or keep up with the rest of their classmates. The program’s design and curriculum selection is specifically chosen for its flexibility to accommodate the needs of common reading disabilities. The Read to Succeed program runs through April 23 and costs $30 per term. Classes are Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., or from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Delray Full Service Center, 301 SW 14th Ave., Delray Beach. To register or to learn more about the program, call 561-649-6035 or email NeverTooLate@palmbeachschools.org.

“No Place On Earth,” a documentary about the compelling true family story of Michelle Brandfon, a member of Congregation B’nai Israel, will be shown on Wednesday, February 25 at 7 p.m. in the Cohen/Friedken Sanctuary at Congregation B’nai Israel. In 1942, to escape from the Nazis, this courageous family lived in underground caves for nearly a year and a half. This is the longest documented occurrence of people surviving by living underground for an uninterrupted period of time. Michelle Brandfon, a descendant of the survivors, as well as one of the brave survivors, will attend and speak after the film, along with the film’s producer, Susan Barnett. The event is open to the public and tickets are $25. In addition, Chris Nicola, who wrote a book about the survivor’s experiences,The Secret of the Priest’s Grotto, will appear via video feed. Long after World War II, while exploring, caver Chris Nicola accidentally stumbled upon some remains showing life underground and became determined to find

the people who lived in such unimaginable circumstances. It took five years for him to locate family members, who had never shared their moving story before. This talk is one of five 2014-2015 “CBI Talks…Speaker Series” events at B’nai Israel that have featured high profile figures. Other speakers in the 2014-2015 season have been Deepak Chopra, “The Future of Well Being,” and BobMankoff of the New Yorker, “How About Never… Is Never Good for You.” The final talk in this year’s Speaker Series will be Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger, “A German Life,” on Tuesday, March 24. All Speaker Series events are ticketed and open to the public. “We look forward to hearing about this moving story of survival against all odds,” said Sharon Wagman, CBI’s Executive Director. “We invite the community to join us for the last two of this season’s CBI Talks events.” All are welcome to purchase tickets at www. cbiboca.org or by calling 561-241-8118.
Traditional Holiday Rituals Mark Dr. King’s Birthday In Delray Beach
By Fred Hamilton and Jason Schwartz
As Ruthnie Auguste researched Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for an oratorical contest recently, she learned that he was a stellar orator and exemplary humanitarian, whose legacy still lives in us until today. But it was his stance on nonviolence that left an indelible impression on the Atlantic High School sophomore. “After researching and watching several documentaries about him, I have come to an understanding that his life was not just an ordinary life,” said Auguste, who spoke at three observances of King’s birthday around the city this past weekend. “His life had a purpose to it. He practiced and preached non-violence. His purpose was to prove to the society that our skin color should not define who we are.” Auguste was the winner of the South Florida Youth Speak Out! oratorical contest, presented by the KOP Mentoring Network. King would have turned 86 this year had he not been assassinated in 1968. Forty-seven years later, residents in Delray Beach remembered, honored and cherished the legacy of his work in seeking diversity and social justice on his national holiday, which fell on Jan. 19 this year. The events welcomed people of all ages, ethnicities and religious denominations. On Sunday, about 250 people of various faiths attended an ecumenical service at St. Paul AME Church on NW 5th Avenue.
At a Monday morning breakfast, sponsored by the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum, five local speakers shared their insights on King’s contributions in the areas of education, religion, civil rights and humanitarianism and social justice. The program also included musical selections from students the Milagro Center’s Drumline. Later that afternoon, several hundred walked from the Delray Beach Community Center on NW 1st Avenue to Pompey Park, where a memorial program was held. Ike Powell, III, senior director of community development & health empowerment at Urban League of Palm Beach County, delivered the address. Powell is also the president of the Omicron Upsilon Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, of which King was a member. Auguste said her takeaway from the weekend’s event was the large scope of ages in attendance, showing King’s messages of peace and nonviolence continue to be ubiquitous among different generations. “Dr. King said, ‘I have decided to stick with love, because hate is too much of a burden to bear,’” she said. “I really admire this quote because it shows us how much energy and effort we have to put in to hating someone,” she said. “If we all decide to love each other, it only takes one person to say I love you to make a difference in someone’s life if they are going through a difficult time.”

“American Sniper” Tough, Unsettling
Charlotte Beasley
Charlotte’s Travels Photos by Charlotte Beasley
Casey Anthony’s Atty, Jose Baez Speaker at Tiger Bay Luncheon I attended the Tiger Bay Club luncheon at City Fish Market here in Boca Ratonm last week where the guest speaker was Attorney Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s attorney. He was a very fascinating speaker and spoke about several of his high profile cases including Casey
Anthony, whom he believes was innocent and Gary Giordano, the case in Aruba where his girlfriend went missing during a scuba dive and a case involving the 12 yr.old girl who commited suicide regarding bullying. A very interesting afternoon for sure.

It is hard to “like” “American Sniper.” It is about sharpshooter Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper), who was for all purposes a killing machine, ravaging Iraq. Chris Kyle is credited with at least 160 verified kills, and maybe as many as 250 or more. Kyle wrote about his experiences of four tours of Iraq in a best-selling 2012 memoir. Jason Hall (“Paranoia”) adapted the book for the screen and Clint Eastwood directs. It is disconcerting to see someone kill human beings so dispassionately, as if they were targets in a shooting gallery, not living people. That Chris Kyle is played by dreamy, blue-eyed Bradley Cooper makes the effect even more disconcerting. The fact is war is Hell, and it is Hell on the soldiers who must fight. As Kyle’s legend as a SEAL sharpshooter grew, he came to be known as “Legend.” The flip side of this is it is difficult to return to normal civilian life. It’s Kyle’s case that was Texas (figures), where guns are as normal as apple pie.
The Iraq was scenes are relentless and devastating. You just know some innocent bystanders were taken along with Al Qaeda insurgents. As Kyle became more desensitized by his deadly target practice, he found it more difficult to unwind to his loyal wife Taya (Sienna Miller) and his adoring children. So despite Taya’s pleading, he kept returning to the hellish cauldron of Iraq. I get it Clint. While it celebrates the most effective sniper in U.S. military history, this is really an anti-war film. It does not have a happy ending, and neither does the endless Iraq War, so recklessly and foolishly started in the first place. Perhaps Eastwood is trying to make amends for his remorseless “Man With No Name” character. Whatever the reason, this is a bitter, unsettling movie and an amazing performance by pretty boy Bradley Cooper. We will never think off him the same again.

Four-Way Test Worth Considering Years ago I was a member of a local chapter of the Rotary Club, an international service organization for business and professional people. Over the years this organization has helped many people through its charitable projects. However, I had forgotten the cornerstone philosophy that guides every good Rotarian. On a recent business trip I received a good reminder of that philosophy when a friend invited me to attend a meeting of his Rotary Club. At the opening of the meeting, members recited what’s known as “The Four-Way Test” of Rotary International. This is also displayed prominently on a banner at each gathering. If you are not familiar with “The Four-Way Test,” it goes like this: • Is it the truth? • Is it fair to all concerned? • Will it build good will and better friendship? • Will it be beneficial to all concerned? What if everyone, not just Rotarians, took these guidelines to heart in their interaction and communication with other people? How different might things be? Imagine if every person and every business – even your own – were to abide by the parameters of these four simple questions? For starters, much of what our elected officials and candidates for public office say would have to be amended – and they would have a lot of apologizing to do for what they have said. If humble enough,
they might even seek forgiveness. When facts are distorted and their opponents misrepresented, all for the sake of gaining political advantage, they violate all four parts of this test. Much of what we read on social media could not be posted, because in many cases words are used as weapons to wound, not as tools for building up. TV and radio news commentators would often have to practice the adage, “silence is golden.” Or else reassemble their facts in ways that are not manipulated to support their ideological biases and to delude viewers and hearers. Marriages could be transformed, as husbands and wives chose discretion and consideration rather than emotional impulse for guiding their conversations and shaping their relationships. And in the workplace, whether in making a sales presentation, interacting with employees, clients and colleagues, or seeking to attract new business, we would have to shape our communications to abide by those four challenging questions. If we all actively and enthusiastically embraced Rotary International’s “Four-Way Test,” we might all be persuaded to apply the exhortation of Ephesians 4:29, which offers this exhortation: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Can you imagine the impact of people all around the world doing that?
Savings Fraud Q: I am a forensic accountant, and recently met with a local divorce lawyer and his client to prepare to file a case against her husband of 18 years. He and his brother own several franchises in a popular chain of restaurants. I explained that their corporation was registered as a Sub-chapter S corporation with the IRS. For income tax purposes, all of the net income of their business is considered personal income, whether or not it is all taken out of the company at the end of the year. Both men own 50 percent of the stock in the corporation, so half of the income winds up in their individual tax returns. According to the corporation’s tax return, until two years ago the corporation paid the two brothers almost all of the net profit as distributions. The last two years, however, they kept most of the profits in the corporation, as retained earnings. This meant they paid income tax on money they had not personally received, lowering money they had available as personal income, in two ways, as they had to pay income tax on money they never received. The client, according to her attorney, is a good candidate for permanent alimony, and there are 13-year-old twins to be supported. He also tells me that it is unclear whether a Florida court can count the income retained in the corporation as the husband’s for alimony and child support. He is of the opinion that the husband and his brother may have been doing some divorce planning, as the brother-in-law is also going through a divorce. Is there any Florida law on this specific subject?
“It depends.” The Florida Supreme Court has given the lower courts directions when faced with the same question. It ruled that the money kept in a Sub-S corporation may or may not be counted as increasing ability to pay alimony and child support, depending on whether there was a legitimate business reason to retain the earnings in the corporation. If the wife’s counsel proves to the trial judge that the money was kept in the corporation for the purpose of defeating alimony and child support, and not for a legitimate business purpose, it can be considered as income. The court also ruled that the “burden of proof ” was on the person in charge of the corporation to prove that he, or she, kept the money in the corporation for legitimate business purposes, and not to harm the spouse. In this case, history might help your client, if as you say; the retained earnings were greatly increased only when the two stockholders were contemplating divorce. On the other hand, if there was a plan to use the retained earnings to buy more franchises that had just become available, a judge might consider that as proof of good motive. If you testify that there was no good business reason to retain the amount of money kept in the corporation, you can bet that the husband’s forensic accountant will disagree with you. If the case goes to trial, the judge will have to decide between your two positions.

Business Succession: Questions You Need to Ask If you own your own business and are considering a business succession plan, there are five questions you should address with your Financial Advisor. What other assets have you set aside to help fund your retirement? Should you rely on your business alone to fund retirement? Just as your investments should be diversified, so should your assets. As a business owner, you should save and build your retirement savings plan away from the business to work toward your retirement goals. Have you considered whether your business is an asset you can sell? Whether or not you can find a buyer for your business depends on many factors. Are there employees or partners who could continue to run the business after you retire? Will your business attract outside buyers? For example, companies that produce tangible goods and have positive cash flows can often be sold. On the other hand, specialty firms that rely on you and your skills alone are generally not salable. Most businesses fall somewhere in between. If you were to sell your business and
pay the taxes on your gains, would the proceeds be enough to last for the rest of your life? It’s important to determine if you expect a similar level of income in retirement that you now enjoy from your business.. What happens if you cannot be involved in running your business? If more than one partner is involved in your business, it is important to have a buysell agreement in place. This is a written agreement between two or more owners of a business. If a triggering event occurs,such as death, divorce or disability of a partner, one or more owners will have the right or obligation to buy the business interest from the owner who is obligated to sell. Do you have a plan in place that will allow you to retire regardless of a sale? Planning for succession in a small business should be a top priority. Begin with the objectives you want to achieve, and talk through these concerns with your Financial Advisor. Together you can build a plan

Workers said the law enforcement officials arrived shortly after 9:30 a.m. and told nearly 200 of them to go home. One employee told WPTV Ch-5 that if there is something wrong she hopes it is fixed soon. “I think you know, this is what has to be done,” said the woman, who was identified only as Sarah. “If it’s a problem, problem has to be resolved. We want to work in a nice place, decent place. We help people, it’s a medical, you know it’s a medical and we are working for patients.” The attorney for the company, Justin S. Weddle of Brown Rudnick, said Med-Care Diabetic & Medical Supplies, Inc. has always been fully transparent in cooperating with regulatory or governmental inquiries that it receives. “This inquiry is no different,” Weddle said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon. “In fact, in July of last year, we learned that a federal regulatory agency was inquiring about Med-Care’s business practices, and we contacted them and offered to answer their questions and provide whatever information they needed.” Court documents show that Tiffany Bumbury, a former employee of an affiliated company, East End Associates filed a whistleblower lawsuit that accused the company of Medicare fraud. Bumbury said in the suit that the company, which operates call centers in Boca Raton
and New York, cold calls seniors on Medicare, which is generally prohibited. It then sends supplies that are medically unnecessary and not requested by the beneficiary, she alleges in the suit. She said the company provided a script of “materially false statements,” and encouraged she and other telemarketers to “say whatever they needed to say” to secure a sale. Then, she said, the company billed Medicare. Exhibits associated with her suit include copies of mailing labels in which recipients refused the medical supplies shipped by the company. Medicare paid Med-Care more than $84 million between 2009 and 2012 through this illicit scheme, the lawsuit claims. A federal judge in Palm Beach County however dismissed the suit, saying that Bumbury, who worked three months in the New York office, did not provide enough evidence to back up her claim. Nonetheless, the U.S. government joined the lawsuit, because it alleges federal Medicare money was stolen. A congressional committee has also examined the company’s tactics. South Florida has long been the nation’s leader in health care fraud. Med-Care lists Porush as its executive vice president. However, in her suit, Bumbury said he is actually an owner. Porush was convicted of insider trading, perjury, conspiracy and money laundering and ordered to pay $200 million in restitution for his acts.

Jozy Altidore Returns to Roots in Hopes of Igniting His Future By Pedro Heizer
After spending the last seven years in Europe, Jozy Altidore has returned to where it all began, Major League Soccer. Drafted in 2006 by the New York MetroStars (now the New York Red Bulls), Altidore spent his rookie season flying back-and-forth between Boca Raton and New York as he worked on his High School diploma, “I would actually stay down in Boca during the week for school and fly to games on the weekends, practice with the team then play,” explained Altidore of his routine during his rookie year. Despite playing only seven games, Altidore impressed scoring three goals for the Red Bulls. The then-16-year-old became the youngest player to score in the MLS playoffs at the tender age of 16 years and 337 days. Since then, Altidore has spent the past seven years with stints in European clubs such as Villarreal, Hull City, AZ Alkmaar, and Sunderland AFC. During his time with Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, Altidore set the record for most goals by an American in a European club season with 31 in the 2012-13 season. Altidore was then sold to Sunderland AFC of the English Premier League where he spent the last two seasons. The 2013 U.S. Soccer Male Athlete of the
Year struggled mightily in his two seasons with the Black Cats scoring only three goals in 52 appearances in all competitions. “The time at Sunderland was a difficult one for a lot of reasons,” said Altidore during his introductory press conference on Friday in Toronto. “A lot of things went on behind the scenes that made it very tough to get off the ground there.” United States Men’s National Team head coach, Jurgen Klinsmann has been very
Owls Beat Marshall 76-62
vocal about his preference that U.S. Nationals test themselves against opponents in Europe’s top leagues, however Altidore says the 1990 World Cup-winner was very supportive of his decision. “Jurgen [Klinsmann] and I spoke when negotiations got to the advanced stages,” explained Altidore. “We spoke for a long period of time, he was very honest with me and I was very honest with him, and in the end he was really supportive of my move and to see that [the move to Toronto FC] will improve me in the long-run.” Toronto has not reached the MLS playoffs for an MLS-record eight straight seasons, but Altidore said his longtime friend Mi-
chael Bradley played a large role in convincing him to join the Canadian club. “Michael spoke very highly and positive about this place and the organization,” explains Altidore. “He explained to me what the organization is trying to do and I was really excited that Toronto and I have the same views, and values, which made the choice a very easy one for me.” Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, ESPN’s Marc Stein reported that Altidore received a five-year deal from Toronto in the $30 million range, putting him on a level with a select few in the league such as USMNT teammates Clint Dempsey, and Michael Bradley as well as top foreigners like New York City FC’s David Villa and Frank Lampard, Orlando City’s Kaká and LA Galaxy’s Steven Gerrard. “I want to instantly show the fans that I’m here for a reason,” Altidore said at the news conference on Friday. “I’m here to help the team get better.” “I’m very hungry to succeed. I wouldn’t have come here for any other reason,” added Altidore. “Having a chance to continue my career in the league where it all started for me as a teenager is truly exciting.” While many see MLS as a retirement league, Altidore explains that this idea is a misconception, “It sure is [a misconception],” explains the Boca Raton native “This league has a lot to offer and a lot of people will see that in the coming years when younger players make the move in their prime.” Photo by Light Imaging - www.lightimaging.ca
Nelson-James has Career Night with 22 Points & 23 Rebounds in Lynn Women’s Basketball Loss
A 23-3 run over the last eight minutes of the ball game propelled the Florida Atlantic University men’s basketball team to a 76-62 win over Marshall on Saturday. The Thundering Herd (4-14, 0-5 C-USA) started the game on a 13-4 run and led by as many as 11 points. The Owls (8-8, 1-4) made a small run, capped by Marquan Botley converting a three point play just before the half, to cut the lead to 34-30. The two teams exchanged buckets early in the second half, before Marshall built a small lead with Aleksa Nikolic’s jumper putting the Thundering Herd ahead 59-53 with 8:18 left. At that point, the Owls’ defense kicked into gear, surrendering just one field goal and a free throw for the remainder of the contest. Four different Owls scored during that time,
January 23 - 29, 2015
and FAU went 8-for-8 from the free throw line to ice the win. Botley scored 17 of his team-high 23 points in the second half, while the frontcourt tandem of C. J. Turman andKelvin Penn combined for 25 points and 16 rebounds. Solomon Poole added 18 points. The win is the first in conference play for FAU and snapped a four game losing streak. The Owls now have some time off, as they don’t play again until they travel to Charlotte on Thursday, Jan. 29. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. Live audio of the game will be available through FAUSports.com. All FAU games will be carried on ESPN West Palm 106.3, which has an APP for the Smart Phone platform.
Lynn University’s women’s basketball team fell to 6-8 overall and 0-5 in Sunshine State Conference play after a 54-50 loss to Saint Leo (6-9, 1-4 SSC) on the road on Saturday afternoon. Charla Nelson-James had a career night with a season-best 22 points while shattering her previous career-best of rebounds per game with 23. Her previous best was set on January 21, 2012, against Florida Southern when she logged 17. Lynn and Saint Leo exchanged leads five times throughout the opening half. The Fighting Knights were down 6-0 to begin the game but battled back to even the scored at 8-all with 11:01 remaining. Lynn had its largest lead of the half with 1:06 to play when Tylar Tracy hit her first threepointer of the half but Saint Leo tied the game with a layup by Melissa Jackson to head into the break knotted 20-all. In a very balanced half, each team had 14 points in the paint and 11 turnovers. SLU slightly edged Lynn 19-17 in rebounds and steals, 6-5. Nelson-James led all scorers with 11 points and seven boards. Additionally,

both teams shot 33.3 percent from the field. SLU pulled ahead by 14 points, 42-28, with 10:14 to play. The Fighting Knights went on a 5-0 run to bring the score within nine with 9:39 remaining in regulation. Lynn went on a 12-2 run over a span of five minutes to trail by two, 49-47, with 56 seconds remaining. A series of successful free throws by the Lions would secure their first victory of the SSC season, 54-50. Lynn improved to shoot 34.2 percent from the floor in the second half and outrebounded the Lions 29-15. Nelson-James accounted for 16 of the Fighting Knights rebounds, 10 of which were defensive boards. Nelson-James’s season-best performance of 22 points and 23 boards led all scorers and was her second-consecutive double-double and fourth this season. Sharneka McCatty was a rebound shy of a double-double with 10 points and nine boards. Lynn scored 34 points in the paint overall and 18 on second chance opportunities. SLU’s bench contributed 17 points while Lynn’s had just two.

Lynn Men’s Basketball Jumps to 16th in Media Poll; Breaks into Top-25 in NABC Coaches Poll
A 12-2 record for the Lynn University men’s basketball team has put them in a pair of Top-25 polls this week. Lynn entered the NABC Coaches Poll ranked 24th after receiving votes last week and jumped from 20th to 16th in this week’s Media Poll by D2SIDA. Lynn went 2-0 over the week with a 63-60 win over Palm Beach Atlantic in regional action and a 62-55 win over Saint Leo in Sunshine State Conference play. “It’s great to see our program continue to move in the right direction in the national poll,” said head coach Jeff Price. “It is a nice reward for the way our team has been
playing, which is proven by our six-game win streak.” The Blue & White’s road win over the Sailfish on Wednesday, January 14, was an overall team effort as just one Fighting Knight scored in double-figures. On Saturday, Lynn took on SLU in the CBS Sports Network Division II Game of the Week where Ben Berry had a career-high 21 points and seven rebounds shooting 5-for-7 from three-point range. Aaron Harrison added 18 points and Russell Wilson had seven assists. Lynn continues to lead the nation in blocked shots per game with 6.9 and improved to second in steals per game (13.8). Harrison leads the SSC in steals per game and is third in the country with 3.14 and Wilson is averaging 6.3 assists per game, to rank tenth in Division II. It will be a big week for the Fighting Knights as they host No. 3/4 Barry on Wednesday, January 21, at 7:30 pm. Not only is the Lynn/Barry rivalry a bitter SSC matchup, but both teams are tied for first place in the conference with a 5-0 record. On Saturday, January 24, Lynn will face off against No. 4/3 Florida Southern at 4:00 pm.
