Volunteer Pilots Soar to Give Autistic Kids a Thrill in the Skies By Fred Hamilton
BOCA RATON - The 20 or so small airplanes that taxied along the runway at the Boca Raton Airport recently, were carrying cargo of particular importance. Often times these pilots are called on to ferry chronically and sometimes critically ill passengers through Vital Flight, a Broward County-based nonprofit that pairs patients with volunteer pilots. But on March 23, their sole mission was to provide short plane flights to more than 150 autistic kids or children with other illnesses. “Awesome,” was how Delray Beach resident Robin Johnson described the experience. “I think what they’re doing is phenomenal. It takes special people to give special needs children the opportunity to do this. It’s overwhelming to know that there are so many great people in the world that give up their time to do this.” Johnson, director of recruitment and dual enrollment at Palm Beach State College, took her son, Evan, 17, and daughter, Alexis, 21, on the 20-minute flight up to Boynton

Beach and back. It was the third year that Vital Flight sponsored Special Kids Day. The organization partnered with Signature Flight Support at Boca Raton Airport and a laundry list of businesses and private individuals to sponsor the event. They converted the hangar into a mini carnival with a bounce house complete with slides and tunnels. There were face painting and refreshments. Several parents said they were very impressed by the professionalism of the organization’s volunteer staff. Vital Flight volunteer pilots donate their time, plane and fuel costs to help those in need. “We’re an organization without walls,” said pilot Michael Coviello, a board member and director of outreach for the organization. “ We donate all of our time, our personal and business resources to make the organization work. None of us take salaries or stipends, and all of the resources we take in we use for our

Robert Eckelson is an orthodontist on weekdays but on this Saturday, he gassed up his four-seater Piper Dakota turbo and headed to the hangar where he spent the day putting big, bright smiles on kids’ faces. It isn’t about any thrill or recognition, said Eckelson, who does not keep in touch with the people he helps. He has had flights where hardly a word is spoken. Most of the flights end with a hug or a photo with the family, he said. “There are little kids that’s never going to fly in their lifetime unless people like me does it for them,” Eckelson, an active Rotarian in Boca Raton, said. “That’s why we did it. I got six gallons of gas and a good time. I got a kiss from a little girl who have never been in a plane before today, and I got a bunch of parents who were happy that their kids experienced something that they would never have done without us. That’s what it’s all about.”

One in the Spirit Like people everywhere, some Boca Raton residents may have their differences. But let’s give credit when its due – this is the only city where I have seen Jews and Christians openly work together on one accord effectively. I have seen in my travels across this globe attempts to tolerate each other. But nothing can be compared to what I have experienced from the members at Temple Beth El and the staff and management at the Wayne Barton Study Center. Recently, I attended an Easter dinner program at the center in Pearl City and a large contingency of the workers were members of Temple Beth El. This is not just for show. These folks are sincere and are real. The tradition dates back to December 1992 when Myra Singer, wife of Merle Singer, rabbi emeritus of Temple Beth El, wanted to help two families. A friend of hers was working with then Officer Wayne Barton, after whom the center is named, to help some families around Christmas and invited her to pitch in. She rolled up her sleeves and helped. And as they say, the rest has been history. Twenty-five families had a merry Christmas that year. I recalled, like a pied piper, watching Rabbi Singer as he lead his flock through Dixie Manor public housing community to help families at Christmas. When Barton told me that a rabbi and about 150 of his members would be serving dinner, playing Santa Claus and giving toys to the kids for Christmas, naturally, I found it unusual. It didn’t take me long to realize that Rabbi Singer and his members got it. That was 21 years ago and the tradition continues. This public community service speaks volumes about how far we’ve come as a people in Palm Beach County, and reflects decades of hard yet delicate work by many individuals and groups who work quietly behind the scenes in order to increase interfaith understanding, cooperation, and friendship. It also reflects the growing goodwill between our communities here in Palm Beach County.

OLEDA BAKER, DIANE FEEN,
My longtime friend William Gralnick, who was once regional director of the American Jewish Committee, has been for years preaching and practicing tolerance. Since the begin of time, there has been a multi-layered approach to Interfaith relations. Of course there are formal functions where appointed community representatives meet. But in my experience, much progress happens in a more informal setting. About 15 years ago, I was fortunate to be part of a group of about 12 people - Muslims, Christians and Jews - that met regularly mostly in each others’ houses for informal discussions on various topics. About three years into my assignment and after getting to know each other and discussing topics like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, life cycle events, food, etc – we got together one February (Black History Month) at my place and talked about Gaza. We were understandably a bit nervous going into the discussion, and it was hard work. We didn’t expect to agree on everything (and these expectations were met) but we did come away with a greater appreciation of each others’ perspectives, and a much better understanding of why each person held their opinions. If anything, our friendships were strengthened by the discussion, in that we valued our friendships going into the discussion, and through sincerely and sensitively listening to each other’s motivations and guarded thoughts, we learned a lot about each other. I came away with strong feeling of optimism that if we could do this, it would be possible for others as well, and there is hope for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East based on interpersonal relationships. We created common ground over very difficult terrain, explored it together, and came out the other side that much closer as friends. This is the way it should be Christians and Jews working together! Praise god. Now, let’s see how we can get the Muslims to join forces. C. Ron

Letters to the Editor Dear Mr. Gora, I read your article but I do not understand if in the end, at present Florida law does or does not require to include financial affidavits as public records in divorce judgements. I ask this question because last July I got an uncontested divorce with a Marital Settlement Agreement and at that time was not even discussed at the hearing the fact that we would have prefered not having our
financial affidavits in public records. Could I at this point request the court of not making them publicly available? What is the the Florida Statues governing this issue? Thank you very much for your reply that I am confident will help me to better understand the issue. Sincerely yours, Manuela Bramante

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER By Douglas Heizer
Taking Advantage Of Proprietary Knowledge By: Jim Mathis In the 1970s the photo processing and printing company my wife and I owned was one of the first to buy a Kodak Royalprint print processor. Since copying and restoring old photos was a big part of our business even then, I quickly figured out how to sepia-tone (brown-tinted) photos using the processor. A few years later I was at a Kodak seminar when somebody asked about sepia toning using the Royalprint machine. The Kodak technical representative apologized and said that was not possible. Then I had somewhat of a dilemma. Did I tell the Kodak people they were wrong, or should I proceed knowing I knew something that nobody else knew? I chose the latter, aware I had no legal or ethical
obligation to inform Kodak about capabilities they did not know their processor had. As a result, I was able to earn thousands of dollars doing something the then- Fortune 500 company said was impossible. I had uncovered “proprietary knowledge” that no one at Kodak realized they possessed. Since I was not an employee of Kodak or in any way affiliated with the company other than being a customer, it was not my responsibility to inform them of something they should have discovered on their own. This brings up a couple of questions. Did Kodak not try it, and why did not the people in the audience experiment with the machine on their own? The lessons I learned were that the “experts” are often wrong, and you can’t believe everything you hear or read. Sometimes it pays off
to check things out on your own. I now know that many small businesses become successful simply because they are doing something that a large company cannot or will not do. That old processor has since been junked with the advancement of technology, and Kodak has gone into bankruptcy, for a variety of reasons declining into an afterthought in the photographic industry. But in my current photography business I am still restoring old and damaged photographs. Eastman Kodak was once my biggest supplier; now the only Kodak products I have are in an antiques display case. Life and work sometimes take strange and unexpected twists and turns. I think there is a simple but profound moral of this story. It applies to anyone in business, no
matter which field of endeavor you happen to be working n: Keep trying new things, new directions, and do not believe the naysayers that say something cannot be done or the people who are afraid to step out, take a risk and follow their passion. Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” If I had not experimented and discovered the additional capabilities of the photographic print processor, I might not have “perished.” However, I would have missed out on significant income – along with the satisfaction of knowing I had learned to do something even the manufacturer was not aware could be done. That in itself is part of the satisfaction of being engaged in an entrepreneurial venture.

applies to journeys one makes, trips one takes, as the traveler in advance maps out places to visit, things to do, all within the specific time frame available. But it need not be limited only to that! Daily living also requires a wellthought-out itinerary if our days and hours are not misused, but utilized to the greatest personal advantage without adversely affecting anybody else in the process. Sadly, many people live purposeless lives; they just let life happen to them instead of
guiding its events and planning the unfolding of each new day, while being ever mindful of varied, unexpected barriers which could either paralyze all efforts or still lead you back on track, into the correct path! Yet, a life well lived takes into account the importance of following a calendar without being a slave to it; of observing a map to avoid what can be successfully bypassed; of anticipating possible trouble along the way, with the knowledge of how to handle that effectively.
If you live each day with a view towards your finishing line, you can more easily reach your eventual destination able to look back with joy at the victories you shall have secured, and the prizes you collected along the way. Other than that, your enjoyment of life will be very limited, and the contributions you can make on behalf of others will lack the satisfaction to which you are entitled! Plan your work, and work out your plan diligently!

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE
By Rick Warren
By Mike Gora
How To Make Smart Decisions Success: In the workplace, we all strive for success. There are many so-called formulas for achieving it, but essentially, success is a matter of making wise choices. As F. W. Boreham has said, “We make our decisions and then they make us.” That is why every decision has an element of risk to it. We cannot always predict the outcome. Are you dealing with any difficult decisions these days? Try following these eight steps for decision-making from the Bible’s Old Testament book of Proverbs: STEP 1: PRAY FOR GUIDANCE (Principle of Inspiration): Start by asking God to help you see His perspective on the problem. Intuition is often wrong. “A man is foolish to trust only himself. But those who use GOD’S WISDOM are safe” (Proverbs 28:26). STEP 2: GET THE FACTS! (Principle of Information): Do not make decisions out of ignorance. First, find out as much relevant information as you can. “Every prudent man acts out of knowledge” (Proverbs 13:16). “How stupid to decide before knowing the facts” (Proverbs 18:13). “Get the facts at any price...” (Proverbs 23:23). STEP 3: ASK FOR ADVICE (Principle of Consultation): If possible, talk to someone who has already taken a similar risk. It is wise to learn from experience – but it is even wiser to learn from the experiences of others! That way you do not have to learn everything the hard way. “Get good advice and you will succeed” (Proverbs 20:18). “The intelligent man is always open to new ideas – In fact, he looks for them” (Proverbs 18:15). STEP 4: SET YOUR GOAL (Principle of Selection): Be sure you understand the reason and purpose for the decision you’re about to make. You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time. “An intelligent person AIMS at wise actions, but a
fool starts off in many directions” (Proverbs 17:24). STEP 5: COUNT THE COST (Principle of Evaluation): This is called a calculated risk. Ask yourself (1) Is it necessary? (2) What will it cost... in terms of time, energy, and money? (3) Is it worth it? “It is a trap to dedicate something rashly, and only later to consider your vows” (Proverbs 20:25). STEP 6: PLAN FOR PROBLEMS (Principle of Preparation): Remember Murphy’s Law (“if something can go wrong, it will”) – and remember that Murphy was an optimist! Do not ignore problems – they will not ignore you. So be prepared. “Don’t go charging into battle without a plan” (Proverbs 20: 18). “A sensible man watches for problems and prepared to meet them. The fool never looks ahead and suffers the consequences” (Proverbs 22:3). STEP 7: FACE YOUR FEARS (Principle of Confrontation): Fear is not a sign of weakness – it is a sign of your humanity. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather it is moving ahead in spite of your fears. “Fear of man is a dangerous trap, but to trust in God means safety” (Proverbs 29:25). STEP 8: MAKE THE DECISION – GO FOR IT! (Principle of Initiation): This is the point at which you must stop talking and start acting. You must begin. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed” (Proverbs 16:3). Adapted from a column by Dr. Rick Warren, the author of numerous books, including the highly acclaimed, The PurposeDrive Life, which has been translated into many languages and sold throughout the world. It affirms the importance of having a carefully considered, clearly expressed purpose to guide everyday life.
Q: I am in the process of getting divorced from a cop after an eighteen year marriage. He has a good salary, I don’t. He has a pension plan, all saved during the marriage, I don’t. He can afford to pay me some alimony and child support, he won’t. I know he won’t because we were at the office of the mediator in the courthouse, you know the cheaper kind and, after two hours he walked out because he refused to agree to any reasonable settlement, taking the position that since he earned it all was his. He said that our legislature was going to ban permanent alimony next year, and if he did not agree to alimony in a contract he would be able to get out of a judge ordered permanent alimony after the new legislation passes. Is he correct? Is our Republican legislature continuing the “War on Women” that I heard about during the presidential campaign? A: Your cop seems to be a little right and a lot wrong. As to his wish to keep all of the marital assets for himself because he “earned it” he has no chance of success. The equitable distribution statute is virtually bullet proof when it comes to equally splitting marital assets that is anything accumulated during the marriage as the result of marital labor and savings. So far the legislature is
not messing with that concept. On the other hand he appears to be right about the suggested demise of periodic “permanent” alimony. Under the proposed new statute a judge would not be able to award permanent periodic alimony but will have the power to grant “durational” alimony for a number of years equal to or less than the length of the marriage after the first seven years of marriage. Additionally, the proposed new statute proposes a right granted to anyone who was divorced within two years before the passage of the legislation to go back to court to change the alimony plan from permanent to durational or less. There is a quirk in that process: (1) if the permanent periodic alimony is agreed to in a marital settlement agreement, a contract, it is unlikely that a court could set it aside due to the constitutional protection granted to contract rights, but (2) if the permanent award came after a trial and judgment there would be no bar to the application of the proposed new statute. In years of practice I have never met a man who wanted to give his wife alimony, of any kind. Apparently there were a couple of men in the legislature, who had recently undergone the divorce process, who have started and pushed the pending legislation. Sounds like sour grapes.

Inspiration and Despair Can be Found in This Week’s Films
By Skip Sheffield If you need inspiration, there are two fine candidates opening in area theaters. If you are entirely too joyful, Hollywood has something that will bring you right down. First, the bright side: “42” is the number of the Brooklyn Dodgers jersey worn by the late Jackie Robinson. It is also the story of Robinson’s courageous fight to break the “color barrier” in major league baseball back in 1947. Robinson did not face the challenges of hateful bigotry alone. It was Dodgers owner Branch Rickey who really put his money and his reputation where his mouth was. Robinson had a strong, supportive (and in the movie quite beautiful) wife Rachel (Nicole Beharie). He was cheered on by pioneering black sports journalist, Wendell Smith (Andre Holland). Branch Rickey is played with great conviction by Harrison Ford, who obviously admires his character. Jackie Robinson is played by charismatic newcomer Chadwick Boseman; an exceedingly handsome young man with a certain star quality, like the character he played. The screenplay is by Brian Helgeland who is making his directorial debut. Helgeland’s impressive writing credits include “Mystic River” and “L.A. Confidential.” Here he carefully establishes the character of Jackie Robinson, a man with great pride, a hot temper and undeniable natural gifts. It was Branch Rickey who handpicked Robinson from the Negro League Kansas City Monarchs in 1946. The story follows Robinson through a kind of apprenticeship in Montreal and thence to a Sanford, Florida training camp, where Robinson confronted the ugly, violent and cruel face of racism. The characters don’t mince words to get their point across. We watch Boca Life & Arts
Robinson boil over and at one point explode over pointed insults. Branch Rickey was a devout Christian of the Methodist faith. So was Jackie Robinson. Rickey appealed to Robinson to follow the example of Jesus and turn his cheek, no matter what the provocation. Cynics will find “42” a little tool sanctimonious and rah-rah, but the point is this stuff really happened. Talent and character won out over bigotry and hatred. Robinson went on to become one of the finest players in baseball history. This film is a fitting tribute to his memory and legacy. Four stars Feel Good with “The Sapphires” “The Sapphires” is also a tale of racial prejudice on the other side of the world, in Australia. Like “42” it is based on the true story of the firstever Aboriginal girl singing group. Because the girls sing Motown
classics on a tour of Vietnam, you have a great soundtrack sung by four very talented women. The native Aborigines of Australia and New Zealand were mistreated, segregated and scorned by the Caucasian immigrants to the British outpost. The worst part was they were not granted equal rights until 1967. “The Sapphires’ begins in 1958 with the Sapphires as little girls. Three of the girls sing at amateur competitions and show natural talent, despite prejudices against Aborigines. The film flashes forward to 1968 with the girls in their teens. A fourth member, Kay (Shari Sebbens) is reunited with her darker-skinned cousins after having been forcefully removed from her family and relocated to Sydney to be raised as a white person. Eldest Gail (Deborah Mailman) is the natural leader of the group, but her younger sister Julie (Jessica
www.bocaratontribune.com
Mauboy) has a better voice than Gail or her sister Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell). Talent scout Dave Lovelace (Chris O’Dowd) realizes this hard fact instantly and insists Julie sing lead. Lovelace is a lovable drunk and a bit of a screw-up but he knows talent and he knows how to land a gig. He gets a booking with the U.S. Armed Forces for lonely, entertainmentstarved GIs on the battlefront. “The Sapphires” is a highly fictionalized story based on real Aboriginal sisters who did tour Vietnam in 1968. The script is by Keith Thompson and Tony Briggs, who created a stage play before the movie, which is directed by Wayne Blair. While there are some stock dramatic contrivances and romantic detours, “The Sapphires” is basically a feel-good story of triumph over adversity with a great soundtrack you can dance to. 3 and a half stars April 12, through April 18, 2013

“Jews have a very strong sense of humor,” Stern declares. “If you think about it, more than half of the most popular classic comedians are Jewish. Humor is how we cope with all the transitions.” Rabbi Mike is a man of action who puts his theories to practice. A year ago he put on an evening of Jewish humor at the Levis JCC in west Boca Raton. It was so popular Stern decided to take the concept on the road in a secular setting. A month ago Stern produced a show he dubbed “Old Jews Got Talent” at the paragon Deerfield 8 movie theater in Deerfield Beach. By popular demand the event will be repeated from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, April 10 at the same location. “The Borscht Belt school of Catskills comedy is dying out,” Stern asserts. “This is our small effort to keep the tradition alive.” Some of the “Old Jew” comics are professionals. Most are not. Ron Goldfarb made a name for himself in the New York Bar Association before retiring, moving to Florida and taking up painting. Goldfarb auditioned and was chosen for the first Old Jews Got Talent show. Now he is back with a new batch of jokes. “When you think about it, there is a similarity between layers and stand-up comics,” muses Goldfarb. “We both use words to make a April 12, through April 18, 2013

Salles, director of “The Motorcycle Diaries.” The central character of Sal Paradise, played by Sam Riley in the movie, is a fictionalized version of Kerouac, as is Dean Moriarity (Garrett Hedlund) a stand-in for Kerouac’s best friend, Neal Cassady. Finished in 1951 but not published until 1957, mostly due to censorship issues, “On the Road” was a rambling, spontaneous, improvised interior monologue, famously typed on a 120-foot roll of paper with no punctuation or paragraph breaks. The movie resembles the book rather self-consciously, as some of the actors are well known. A case in point is Marylou, played by “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart, who sheds her teen image along with her clothes for the amoral character. Also playing against type are Kirsten Dunst as Camille and Amy Adams as Jane. If you are looking for titillating thrills, you will not find them here. In fact “On the Road” with all its hetero and homosexual sex, smoking, drinking, drugging and carousing, becomes a bit dull. Two stars

Festival Brings All People Together to Celebrate Commonalities By Stephanie Neeley When it comes to celebrating, Delray Beach wants to make sure it hits the right note. And in many cases, that requires a chorus of cultures. For the fourth consecutive year, Delray Beach resident Susan Berkowitz-Schwartz organized an All People’s Day Diversity festival recently to highlight the differences between races and ethnicities and celebrate their commonalities. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, South Palm Beach County co-sponsored the event. Held at Pompey Park Recreational Center, the free festival featured 20 performers including an African American choir, American folk singers, Chinese performances and Mexican folk dancers.
April 12, through April 18, 2013
There also were 50 interactive and selling booths with arts projects for children and adults as well as multicultural foods. “When people come together through the arts, it touches their hearts because they learn about each other through the heart,” said Berkowitz-Schwartz, an art therapist. “It’s a connection that goes beyond talking. It’s feeling, seeing touching and it’s creating.” Created by BerkowitzSchwartz in 1973, All People’s Day was celebrated for 35 years in New Jersey. Berkowitz-Schwartz brought the festival to Delray Beach in 2010 and has gotten local support form elected officials and residents. BerkowitzSchwartz hopes All People’s Day will become a national holiday.

“An Iliad” is a one-man show (with plenty of technical support) starring the gifted actor writer and comedian Avi Hoffman. It runs through April 21 in the black box theater of Mizner Arts Cultural Center. “An Iliad” is a vindication for Outre Theatre Company, which had a less than sterling debut with “A Wild Party” last year. “An Iliad” is as focused and spare as “Wild Party” was overstuffed, sprawling and disjointed. Avi Hoffman is a lifetime theater professional best known for his humorous “Too Jewish” series of shows. In this Iliad, he is dressed in contemporary battle garb on a set the looks like it could be anywhere in the Middle East. Iliad is an epic poem attributed to the Greek poet Homer, who lived sometime in the eighth century B.C. “The Iliad” tells the epic story of the bitter, destructive ten-year
Trojan War between the Trojans of Ilium or Troy and the invading Greeks. The main characters are King Agamemnon of Greece and Achilles, the fierce warrior of Troy. Chryses, a Trojan priest of Apollo, has offered a large reward for the return of his abducted daughter Chryseis, but Agamemnon has stubbornly refused, ensuring the conflict will continue. “The Iliad” is nearly 16,000 lines. “An Iliad” lasts only 90 minutes, without intermission. Few but the most serious scholars have read the entire Iliad. This translation by Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson cuts to the chase. Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman said it most succinctly: “War is Hell.” A knowledge of Greek gods and goddesses is useful but not mandatory. In the poet’s telling we pretty much know who is who. Thanks to Hoffman’s artistry the various characters male, female, animal and divine are all distinct and easy to understand. Lighting and sound cues are used to indicate time and scene changes and mood, such as the recurring bloodred filter. Screen projections depict ancient Greece and Troy. Wars are caused by base emotions: greed, jealousy, coveting, overweening pride and malicious lies. You will find all in evidence in this sometimes funny, often somber parade of human folly. This may not be “The” Iliad but as “An Iliad,” it drives home its points with impressive accuracy. Tickets are $40 adults, $35 seniors and $30 students.

Four Women Charged After Protesting Outside GEO Group By Jason Schwartz Four FAU students were arrested Tuesday during a protest outside the GEO Group headquarters in Boca Raton. The protest comes in the wake of GEO Group withdrawing a $6 million donation it made to support the FAU athletic program in exchange for its name on the school’s new stadium. Arrested were Lynne Purvis, 33, of Lake Worth; Zoe Meniolle D’Hauthull, 20, of Miami; Janel Williams, 23, of Spring Hill; and Christine Baglieri, 25, of Lake Worth. Both D’Hauthull and Williams were chained to the door handles
of the office building by way of a bike lock around their neck. Purvis and Baglieri were arm-locked in the middle of the other two women, Officer Roalind Gualtieri wrote in her report. All four women were charged with trespassing and resisting arrest without violence. They were later released to their own custody. Police were called to the headquarters of GEO Group, One Park Place at 621 NW 53rd St. after a large group of people refused to leave. Five of the women were on the first floor in front of the GEO Group office and numerous others were in the lobby holding signs and chanting, police said.
“I entered the building and met with Building Engineer David Dawood,” Gualtieri wrote in her report. “Dawood said he asked them to leave the property and they refused. Dawood said the five female subjects appeared to be chained to the door.” Gualtieri told one of the women they were on private property and ordered them to leave immediately. But they refused, saying they would leave only after speaking with George Zoley, The Geo’s CEO/ Chairman/Founder,whose office is in the building. “I told the protestors to leave and escorted a few outside prior to other officers arriving on scene,” she wrote.

The police lieutenant arrived and told the women they had three minutes and one minute to leave but they ignored his warning. At 10:30 a.m., police arrested the women. The GEO Group initially pledged a $6 million gift to FAU’s athletics department. The gift was a 12-year commitment with annual payments of $500,000. GEO Group did say in a letter to university Board of Trustees Chairman Anthony Barbar that it was pledging $500,000 for academic scholarships this year in lieu of the naming agreement.

CARLO BARBIERI By Carlo Barbieri
Brazil, United States are Powerful and Important Trade Partners Part 2 of a two-part series In the last installment, this column examined the Brazilian “invasion” of the United States – an economic explosion that focuses on the exchange of products, services and tourism, among other things. This financial twoway street has a dynamic impact on both of these heavily industrialized nations. The previous column examined tourism along with business and industry investments shared by the two nations. This week, the column discusses U.S.-American trade, its success today and its bright future. First off, Brazil is a nation of 193 million people that packs some serious economic clout. It is becoming an increasingly important trading partner for the United States. A couple of years ago, President Barack Obama and Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke visited Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo – and proposed a number of actions designed to help the U.S.Brazilian commercial relationship continue to succeed in the coming years. With a gross domestic product of $2 trillion in 2010, Brazil is the world’s seventh-largest economy. When Obama and Locke toured Brazil, they participated in a series of important meetings on trade and commerce. Obama also met with Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s new president, who took office in January 2011. Since Rousseff ’s election, expectations have been running high for improvements in commercial relations between the United States and Brazil. In March of 2011, Obama spoke to a packed house at the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro and made his hopes clear. He said: “Together we can advance our common prosperity.… In a global economy, the United States and Brazil should expand trade—expand investment—so that we create new jobs and new opportunities in both of our nations. And that’s why we’re working to break down barriers to doing business. That’s why we’re building closer relationships between our workers and our entrepreneurs.” Let’s look at the numbers. U.S. goods and services trade with Brazil totaled $103 billion American dollars in 2011. Exports reached $65 billion, imports totaled $39 billion. America’s has a $26 billion 2011 goods and services trade surplus. Brazil is now America’s eighth largest trading partner in goods with $75 billion in total imports and exports during 2011. Exports of goods totaled $43 billion; goods imports totaled $32 billion. The U.S. trade surplus with Brazil was $11 billion in 2011. Trade in services with Brazil (exports and imports) totaled $29 billion in 2011, preliminary data state. Exports of services were $22 billion; imports of services were $7 billion. The U.S. services trade surplus with Brazil was $15 billion in 2011.
U.S. exports of goods to Brazil in 2011 were $42.9 billion, an increase of 21.2 percent ($7.5 billion) from 2010, and up 180 percent from the year 2000. U.S. exports to Brazil accounted for 2.9 percent of total U.S. exports in 2011. The top export categories in 2011 were: machinery ($7.9 billion), mineral fuels ($6.4 billion), aircraft ($5.4 billion), electrical machinery ($4.6 billion) and plastics ($ 2.1 billion). U.S. exports of agricultural products to Brazil totaled $800 million in 2011. Major categories included: cotton products ($323 million), dairy products ($40 million), wheat ($30 million) and sugars and sweeteners ($21 million). U.S. exports of private commercial services (that is, excluding military and government) to Brazil were $21.7 billion in 2011, 28.8 percent ($4.8 billion) more than in 2010 and 248 percent higher than year 2000 levels. Other private services (telecommunications, business, professional and technical and financial services), travel and royalties and license fees accounted for most categories of U.S. services exports to Brazil. Regarding imports, Brazil was the United States’ 17th largest supplier of goods in 2011. U.S. imports of goods from Brazil totaled $31.7 billion in 2011, an increase of 32.5 percent ($7.8 billion) from 2010 and up 129 percent from 2000. U.S. imports from Brazil accounted for 1.4 percent of total U.S. imports in 2011. The five largest import categories in 2011 were: mineral fuels and oil (gross), $10.5 billion; iron and steel, $3.5 billion; machinery, $2.3 billion; spices, tea and coffee, $2 billion and special other items (returns), $1.3 billion. U.S. imports of agricultural products from Brazil totaled $4.1 billion in 2011, making Brazil the fourth largest supplier of ag imports to the United States. Major categories included: coffee (unroasted), $1.9 billion; fruit and vegetable juices, $321 million; tobacco, $278 million and beet and raw cane sugar, $270 million. U.S. imports of private commercial services (again, excluding military and government) were $6.9 billion in 2011, 25.4 percent ($1.4 billion) over 2010 and up 256 percent from the year 2000 level. Other private services (business, professional and technical services), royalties and licenses and the categories of travel services led U.S. services imports from Brazil. The U.S. surplus with Brazil was $11.2 billion in 2011, up 2.3 percent ($259 million) from 2010. The United States had a trade surplus in services of $14.8 billion with Brazil in 2011, up 30.4 percent from 2010. So if, on the one hand, the U.S. is being “invaded” by Brazil, which has brought billions of dollars to America through investments and expenditures of its tourists, the U.S. has “invaded” Brazil with products and services.

Strikers Open Season with 1-1 Draw Versus FC Edmonton Strikers football is back. After much anticipation, and excitement the Fort Lauderdale Strikers kicked off their 2013 Spring Championship Season on Saturday versus FC Edmonton. It felt as if the 5,201 screaming fans got to the Strikers early, as they gave up an early goal to FC Edmonton’s Wes Knight in the 15th minute. “We started off sloppy,” said debutant David Foley. “We gave up a sloppy goal, but after that we settled down.” The Strikers defense, something they put emphasis on this past offseason, was caught napping and watched as Shaun Saiko whipped in a cross from the left, and Wes Knight beat the Strikers defense to the ball for a header to open the score. “We came out little nervous in the first half,” Strikers coach Daryl Shore said. “Following their goal, we showed more energy and initiative.” After the goal, Fort Lauderdale settled down and started to play the type of soccer they wanted. Despite not finding the back of the net in the first half, the Strikers had shots on goal by Carlos Salazar, Stefan Dimitrov and Jemal Johnson, all from David Foley crosses. “Once we started finding Carlos [Salazar], Stefan [Dimitrov] and Jemal [Johnson] open we felt like we played better,” explained coach Shore. Second half got underway and it was all Strikers from there. In the 55th minute Johnson nearly put one away for a goal taking a shot just outside the penalty box, hitting the cross bar. During that same play, Foley went for the rebound and FC Edmonton’s keeper Lance Parker tripped him up. The referee called for a penalty kick, which brought the crowd to euphoria, but the sideline referee waived it off after saying Foley had been offside. In the 65th minute, midfielder Walter Restrepo made his season debut coming in to a rapturous applause for Rubens. Restrepo, who was named to the NASL Best 11 team last season as a result of his team leading 11 assists, was coming back following a season ending ACL injury. Restrepo’s entrance into the game sparked the Strikers attack. In the Sports
73rd minute, Foley scored his first goal as a member of the Strikers on an unassisted beauty as he worked his way past three defender producing a laser shot from just inside 18 yards. “To be honest with you,” said Foley after the match. “I saw the ball going in the whole way. I got a great pass from Toni Ståhl and I was lucky enough to get a great touch since the defenders backed off.” “It was a great individual effort by David on the goal,” said coach Shore. “It’s got to be goal of the week, if not goal of the year.” Despite earning the draw and one point, the Strikers now that with the new NASL Scheduling a tie isn’t an option. “It’s a little disappointing,” said Foley. ”We started off sloppy and gave up a sloppy goal, luckily we come back and got the tie.” “I thought we deserved the three points,” added coach Shore. “But for a first game we will take the tie.” The Strikers play their next two games on the road against Atlanta and Carolina before returning home against cross-state rival Tampa Bay Rowdies on April 27.
Alumnus Alfred Morris Receives Professional Athlete of The Year Award Florida Atlantic University's all-time rushing leader Alfred Morris completed his first season NFL season with the Washington Redskins, where he set the Redskins single-season rushing record. The FAU alum was honored by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission as the 2013 Professional Athlete of the Year. The award was presented on his behalf at the annual Hall of Fame Banquet which took place on Sunday, March 24 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Morris is the leading rusher in Florida Atlantic University history and was a consistent member of the FAU Athletic Department's 3.0 GPA list. He was drafted in the 6th round (#173 overall) by the Redskins with whom he had one of the most
impressive rookie seasons, earning votes for the NFL rookie of the year. He finished the season with 1,613 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Each year, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions in sports. Morris graduated from Florida Atlantic after the 2011 season. During his senior season, he earned a second team spot on Phil Steel's 2011 Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference Team. Morris was the first Owl under Coach Schnellenberger to surpass 1,000 yards twice in his career. Morris was named Florida Atlantic's 2012 Male Student Athlete of the Year and was the team's CoMVP before he went on to participate in the 2012 NFL Combine.
