The Russians paid pole vaulter Sergei Bubka a bonus every time he broke a world record.

He was so dominant, he was usually able to break the record just a little bit each time, so he could collect that bonus as often as possible. Even so, he was hugely unlucky at the Olympics, winning just one gold medal.

Budd slams Medicare cuts, calls for job creation program, strong national defense

By Dale M. King BOCA RATON - The United States “is staring down some of the greatest threats, both domestic and foreign, that have ever faced this nation,” says Joe Budd, Republican candidate for Congress in District 19.

“We are in the midst of a troubled economy plagued by high unemployment, a continuing housing crisis and unsustainable national debt levels. We face threats from a foreign enemy of radicals hell bent on destroying our way of life and that of our ally Israel. These issues threaten the opportunity for future generations to enjoy the same prosperity, safety and freedoms past generations have fought so hard to preserve.”

Budd is challenging incumbent Democrat Ted Deutch in hopes of heading for Washington to solve these

troubles. “Florida is burdened with an unemployment rate and a foreclosure rate higher than the national average. The creation of jobs must be issue number one. Our current leaders in Washington have failed to save, let alone create, any jobs! Worse yet, their priority is everything but jobs.”

The GOP candidate said small business is the solution to job creation. “Today, small businesses are stymied in their growth by excessive regulations and taxes. Correcting these two problems will unleash the power of the free enterprise system.”

Close on the heels of a lack of jobs and failed positive economic movement is the national debt, Budd said. “Our national debt is now over $13.3 trillion and growing rapidly! They have now decided not to create an operating budget

for the coming fiscal year.

How many more years can we take of all the politicians spending money like there’s no tomorrow?”

“Washington needs to be run just like we run our homes and businesses, on a budget, spending less than what we earn. I will bring my financial and accounting experience to help tighten the BELTway. Fiscal discipline is more important than ever!”

A financial advisor by trade, Budd is also looking at what he calls troubling numbers in the area of Medicare due to cuts by the Obama administration.

“Within seven years, more than 50 percent of those who have the Advantage plan won’t have it any more,” Budd said. “And the cost of Medicare supplement insurance will rise substantially.”

He also slams the Obama health care bill, a measure he would like to repeal.

(Deutch supports Obamacare.)

“It is a costly mistake to think the government can solve the healthcare problem with a 2,700 page bill which rips away at the core of the freedoms this nation was founded on. A bill that disrespects life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This was simply a power grab of grand proportions by the political elite. I vow to either defund it or repeal it. We need to fix the real problems with real common

sense solutions which won’t include robbing our seniors of $500 billion of their benefits.”

Budd stands four-square behind support of Israel. “It is reckless to continue to demonstrate to the world that the United States has weakened its commitment to Israel. Its enemies are being emboldened. Israel has been a consistent friend in the Middle East. They are a sovereign nation with a right to defend themselves against the constant barrage they suffer at the hands of their neighbors. As a Christian, standing with and for Israel is a core value which will not be compromised.”

In that same realm, Budd endorses strong national defense. “It is a disgrace that this administration is failing to fully support the brave men and women who are putting their lives on the line. The requests of our military leaders who have been charged with executing the strategies of war in both Iraq and Afghanistan have fallen on deaf ears. A well-funded, trained and equipped military is only part of the solution to a strong national defense. Securing our borders, energy independence and a strong economy are also essential to our continued leadership throughout the world and the preservation of the American way of life.”

West calls for tax cuts, small business incentives in bid for Congress

By Dale M. King

BOCA RATON - As he did in 2008, retired Lt. Col. Allen West is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Ron Klein for the congressional seat in District 22.

The electoral dynamic has changed in two years, with a lingering economic downturn, staggering unemployment and a president whose performance many question.

Among those who question Barack Obama’s record is West. He said he’s particularly upset at what he calls “Obama’s apology tour” which he said

shames “the men and women who go and fight in foreign lands.”

West, a Republican, said he wants to assure “fiscal and physical security” in Washington, D.C. “We have to set conditions for prosperity with long-term, sustainable growth.”

Under the Congressional Democrats’ watch, he said, “Florida’s unemployment rate has skyrocketed to a staggering 12 percent, our foreclosure rate is the third highest in the country, and the national debt has grown to unprecedented levels.” If elected, he said

West calls for tax cuts... he will “curb out-of-control government spending and work toward across the board tax cuts, I will fight tirelessly to bring jobs back to South Florida. We must realize that American exceptionalism depends on a strong and robust economy, which means that the fight begins here at home.”

Among methods of promoting jobs, he said, are redefining the tax code, adopting a flat tax system and offering small businesses tax cuts and incentives.

West said he wants to put money back into citizens’ pockets. “In January 2011, America will witness the largest tax increase we have ever seen. For production class Americans,

Continued from page 3

taxes will be raised on married couples, the child tax credit will be cut 50 percent, dividends and capital gains taxes will increase, the death tax returns, the number of families paying the alternative minimum tax will increase, and there will be an increase on all wage earner tax brackets, not just the upper 35 percent bracket.”

“It is a proven fact,” he emphasized, “that where taxation is lightest and spending is reduced, revenues increase. The 2010 mid-term elections come down to two diametrically opposing philosophies: public sector raising taxes, printing and borrowing more money or private sector investment, ingenu-

ity, and innovation.”

Looking at the elder sector of the population, West said he wants to recreate an independent trust fund account” for Social Security. “Once the politicians moved it to the general operating account they used it for their pork barrel spending spree.

The fact that we are creating a jobless morass in America means there are fewer workers paying into the system. This is another reason why we need private sector growth, which in turn creates jobs, which will replenish the Social Security fund.”

A 22-year Army veteran who served in Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, and as a civil-

ian advisor to the Afghan Army in Operation Enduring Freedom, West said the US “is at war against a totalitarian theocratic political ideology that glorifies death rather than celebrating life.”

While concentrating on the Middle East, West warned that America “must not forget other looming threats,” among them, China, North Korea and Iran.

“Like President Reagan, I believe that peace is best kept through a strong national defense.”

Regarding relations with Israel, West said that “since 2009, the Obama Administration has shown an unprecedented disregard for the sovereignty of the state of Israel – America’s stron-

gest ally. President Obama has clearly demonstrated he is no friend of the Jewish State.”

“The Jewish State needs stronger representation in Congress,” said West, “and a solid voice that will not be afraid to stand up to the Obama Administration’s appeasement of Islamic terrorism. As a combat veteran who has faced our common enemy, my commitment to Israel will rise above mere statements of support.”

Pondhawk wetlands restoration project in Boca approved

BOCA RATON - District 4 County Commissioner Steven L. Abrams has announced that the Board of County Commissioners approved an agreement to restore the Pondhawk Wetlands, a 79-acre natural area located in Boca Raton between Yamato Road and Spanish River Boulevard, just east of Military Trail.

Site restoration activities

are currently underway and are expected to be completed in December 2010. The project creates approximately 11 acres of wetland habitat for use by wildlife that will include the great egret, osprey, and alligators. The area will also provide public access areas including a 12-foot wide multi-use trail along the shoreline of Blue Lake.

“This is a good example of a successful partnership between the city and county in obtaining federal grant dollars benefiting the local environment,” said

Abrams. “The public access component is also terrific because it is such a unique environmentally rich area,” he added.

Also, the sand that has been removed from the area is being used at the county’s Osprey Point Golf Course and the city’s library promenade.

Federal funds in the amount of $50,000 will be used to pay for this project and no local match is required. The money will be used for the planning portion of the project, which will enhance the water quality and improve the habitat functions.

Memories of Wilma are blowin’ in the wind rible rumble of roof tiles sliding off. We feared the entire roof would go next.

We wouldn’t know until the storm abated that 63 tiles crashed to the ground - several of them on my wife’s car.

Hurricanes aren’t the worst disasters that can happen.

And actually, Florida - particularly Key West - has earned no small measure of publicity from these troublesome cyclones.

We’ve been to several restaurants with the name “Hurricane” or “Cane” in the name. There’s at least one drink that bears the Hurricane moniker. The Alan Jackson - Jimmy Buffett song, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” includes the line, “Give me a Hurricane before I go insane.”

One TV station this week marked the fifth anniversary of Wilma with a compilation of clips showing the storm crossing Cozumel, then taking that sharp

eastern turn that brought it across the Gulf of Mexico and then a quick sharp, powerful pass across South Florida.

We recalled how we made it through the front side of the storm. Then, the calm eye passed over us. The temperature dropped considerably. And then the second part of the storm hit with horrific fury.

Well, we’ve been lucky that five years have passed and we haven’t been slammed by anything nearly as strong as Wilma. I remember how Boca Raton honored the workers who helped the city get through the storm. Boca sponsored a picnic for city employees and gave out shirts that said, “I survived Hurricane Wilma.” On the shirt was a picture of Wilma Flintstone.

Living through this trio of storms gave my wife and me a new respect for Mother Nature’s wrath.

EDITORIAL

The subject of Hurricane Wilma has arisen in several ways this week.

For one thing, Oct. 24 was the fifth anniversary of the terrible storm that brought havoc and damage to Palm Beach County.

It led to recollections of how my wife and I handled the third fierce Florida storm to hit in a period of two years. We managed to weather Frances and Jeanne without serious damage. Just a loss of electricity and the troubles of living without cold beverages and air conditioning for days and days.

But Wilma was a storm unto itself. Meteorologists who’ve talked about it this week said Wilma killed 23 people. That’s a statistic I never knew.

I still recall my wife and me hunkering down in our “safe room,” the laundry room, the only first-floor area without windows. Up above we heard the ter-

Business

SKIP SHEFFIELD, MATT BLUESTEIN,

We grew up in New England, where most hurricanes had lost their punch by the time they reached us.

Some didn’t. I remember hurricanes with names like Carol and Donna that raised serious concerns.

Before I was born, there was the Hurricane of ’38 that flooded Providence and created a mess all around Rhode Island.

I remember reading about Florida’s famed Hurricane of 1926, the one that washed away Henry Flagler’s Key West Railroad link and damaged a lot of property.

Even in the modern era, Hurricane Andrew still brings chills to all South Floridians.

As Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” We still have another month of hurricane season to endure.

Let’s hope it stays quiet.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

By Douglas Heizer

It’s almost time to deck the halls and serve the holiday cheer

We talked last week about the Boca Raton Tribune’s plan to sponsor a holiday decorating contest this season, one for East Boca and one for West Boca.

We’re putting together a list of rules and will have the finished regulations to you in a short time. So far, we’ve decided to present awards to homes with the most creative use of lights and best yard display, and there’ll be an overall grand prize winner.

Themes are also encouraged. We’ll be presenting an award for the best theme, be it the Grinch, Ebenezer Scrooge, a Charlie Brown Christmas or Miracle on 34th Street.

Better still, come up with one of your own.

A panel of neighborhood volunteers will help us select the winning entries.

Anyone interested in getting in touch with us at the Boca Raton Tribune to have their home viewed by our judges can email decorations@bocaratontribune. com.

We may collect a small donation from each of the participating homeowners to donate to charity at this giving time of year.

Local businesses will be asked to take part by supplying items for the winning homes. The Tribune will proudly honor you in an upcoming paper for

your assistance.

We encourage people to decorate their houses with as much pizzazz and color as possible. Incorporate music, if your electrical lines will allow it, and as many twinkling lights as your house can hold.

The adage “go big or stay home” clearly applies here.

So, as the song says, “There’s no place like home for the holidays.”

Particularly a beautifully decorated home. Make your residence stand out – and you may win a dandy prize.

Speaking of holidays…

Just a reminder to business owners that it’s not too early to begin arranging your holiday advertising schedule.

It looks like the economy is getting better, and that means shoppers will have more “disposable income” this season.

The stores are already decorating for the holidays, so it’s time to get in touch with us at the Boca Tribune and set up your artistic ad designs.

Better get the job done before the holidays arrive.

It’s going to be very busy and space will be at a premium.

Big crowd at miniEXPO The Boca Raton Tribune

joined dozens of other businesses from around the area Tuesday night at the South Palm Beach County Chamber Partnership miniEXPO, held at the Country Club at Boca Raton on Boca Del Mar Drive. The event brought together members from several Chambers.

I hope I spoke with you at the event. I was trying to make the rounds, but I tend to talk a lot and maybe I missed you.

If you want, visit us during regular business hours at our offices at 7300 West Camino Real.

During the campaign season, we were visited by several candidates who’ll be running for office in Tuesday’s election. Joe Budd, who is challenging Ted Deutch in District 19, came by for a talk and photo session. So did Allen West, who is running against Ron Klein in the District 22 contest.

Another recent visitor with some name recognition was Ryan Lieber, former TV sportscaster who is now doing public relations for the Tenet Hospital system.

Think Triumph, not Tragedy!

Don’t count your miseries; there will always be plenty of them in your life. Instead, concentrate on your blessings and name them one by one. You shall also encounter plenty of them along your pathways if you are truly attentive.

People tend to believe that they are entitled to far more than what their portion turns out to be. Some believe the world owes them a living, or that the government is responsible for all their needs. The truth is that even God does not owe us anything!

Nevertheless, just think of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. Even the very fact that we are alive and can contemplate sunrises and sunsets, besides countless more privileges which earthly life affords.

We may not have all our whims and wishes satisfied but, surely, our needs can be, and frequently are met!

It is much easier to notice what we lack than to rec-

ognize what we actually possess. It is common to pay attention to what we lose than to acknowledge what we still have. A famous public figure I know reported how, during his college days, he was at his parents’ farm home at the time when a major tornado devastated their property. After the fury of the wind, which killed many farm animals and destroyed their crops and barn, the farmer proceeded to envision all the steps to be taken for the necessary reconstruction. Seeking to comfort his wife in the face of total loss and devastation, he calmly dried her tears while offering the recommendation: “Think not of what we have lost; think instead of what we have left!”

Such was and remains the best, most positive posture in the midst of distress and struggles which earthly life often inflicts on anyone.

Gratefulness in the midst of trials, hope in the face of danger, decisiveness

in the place of doubt, are the best choices one can make to ensure a safe arrival at the new place or situation one needs to journey into. As my long-time friend, Dr. James R. Kok, so wisely observed: “The road to joy always seems to go through sadness and suffering. It’s hard to get there any other way.” But it still leads one to the right haven.

It’s imperative for one to understand that the journey into contentment and tranquillity is never devoid of bumps and potholes; it often faces detours, low valleys, besides high peaks one needs to hike. It’s seldom reached any other way.

And yet, “when other helpers fail and comforts flee” God Who is the Help of the helpless does abide with those who seek His presence and continued guidance.

Ultimately it is only by relying in Him alone that anyone gets anywhere in life.

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level.

He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

St. John Catholic Church Story, photos by Donovan Ortega On October 24, St. John Catholic Church was blessed and dedicated in honor of final construction being completed. Work on the project began in early April, 2009.

It was worth the wait.

The sanctuary is beautiful.

Rich, wooden doors lead parishioners into a vestibule. In the main hall, high, vaulted ceilings soar majestically and large stain glass windows depict scenes from the Bible. The ambiance is peaceful and lends itself to deep mediation and reverence.

Attending the dedication ceremony was the Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito, the Bishop of the Diocese of Palm Beach.

“The ceremony was beautiful,” said Barbarito while posing for pictures with St. John’s faithful. “It’s a ceremony filled with gorgeous symbolism and holiness of the church and community.”

After the service a reception was held in an adjoining hall. Cake and punch was served to hungry worshipers. Children played on the stairs as their parents’ fellowshipped with one another. The atmosphere reflected the joyous occasion and all seemed very pleased with the Bishop’s presence at the church.

The reverend Micheal O’ Flaherty wrote the following note in the back of the Dedication program: This is a glorious day in

where we can share our time and talents in ministry.

Let us rededicate ourselves more fully to the Lord and truly make this a wonderful day in our lives.

charity. The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches was the lucky beneficiary.

A year ago, the first donation was $55. As time progressed, it grew.

The general manager, John Carns, suggested putting up a plaque letting people know where their money was going. Accumulated giving in the last year? More than $1,300, simply from loose pocket change.

Helping the needy children of Florida is a worthy cause, said club officials.

Shadow escapes the shadow of death, is returned to Boca Raton

BOCA RATON - “Shadow,” a 4-year-old Weimeraner adopted in 2006 from the Tri County Humane Society shelter in Boca Raton, is back in that shelter today after a disappointing experience with its adoptive parents.

In fact, said Tri County Humane Society founder and CEO Jeannette Christos, “Shadow” can thank the microchip implanted inside her for saving her life.

As Christos explained it, “Tri County received a call recently from Sumpter Humane Society in Americus, Ga. The couple that adopt-

ed Shadow in 2006 moved to Georgia and decided they did not want Shadow any more, so they took the dog to a shelter in Americus where most dogs are quickly put to sleep.

But Christos said, “The shelter manager called Tri County after checking the microchip linking the dog back to us. We told them we would really like our dog back.”

“The woman told us they could only keep the dog three days before it would be euthanized as they were overcrowded. She said she would see what she could do to get the dog back to

Boca Raton.”

After networking with rescues, Christos said, the woman arranged transportation as far as St. Augustine, Ga., but could not get transport any further.

“A pilot with his own private plane offered to fly the dog back to us,” said Christos.

Elliott Mintzer, the pilot, and the plane’s owner, Ray Hallthe, transported “Shadow” from St. Augustine back to the Boca Raton airport.

“This is why we always keep the microchip registered in our name,” said Christos.“Otherwise,

‘Shadow’ would have been euthanized. It took seven different transport volunteers to get as far as St. Augustine.”

Cristos offered profuse thanks “to the Sumpter Humane Society and all the rescue transporters.

“We are so thankful we can all work together to save so many animals.”

George S. Bolge to retire from Boca Museum of Art after 16 years at local cultural venue

BOCA RATON - Paul W. Carman, president of the Board of Trustees of the Boca Raton Museum of Art, has announced the retirement of Executive Director George S. Bolge, effective June 30, 2011.

Carman stated that, in the near future, he will form a committee to begin the search process for Bolge’s successor.

“I take great pride in my achievements as executive director at the Boca Ra-

ton Museum of Art,” said Bolge. “I know that my efforts, along with those of my exceptional staff, have played a major role in enriching this community. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.”

Bolge will remain active in the South Florida arts community both here and abroad.

“George Bolge is one of the most highly regarded directors in the industry,” said Carman.

“The fact that we were able to grow significantly in every aspect of our operation is largely due to his vision and unmatched expertise.

We are sorry to see him go, but are humbled by the wisdom he has imparted on us for more than 16 years.”

A decorated Vietnam vet-

eran, Bolge began his museum career in South Florida in 1970, when he was hired as executive director and, during his tenure, was instrumental in the creation of the new Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale (now known as Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale/ Nova Southeastern University). He served as its chief executive until 1988, and remains Director Emeritus for the Broward-based arts organization, which is regarded as one of the most celebrated museums in South Florida.

In 1995, Bolge was hired, once again, to build a major arts institution, this time in Boca Raton. The Boca Raton Museum of Art was housed, at that time, on Palmetto Park Road where the Museum’s Art School is

currently located.

Over the next four years, with the support of the Board of Trustees and community leaders, Bolge stabilized the budget, reestablished organizational participation in the state, county and city granting resources, developed new educational outreach programming, upgraded the exhibition schedule and enhanced the permanent collection. This professional profile qualified the museum to be awarded its first American Association of Museums National Accreditation. Of the nation’s 17,500 museums, just 778 are currently accredited.

This national recognition served as the impetus to launch a Capital Campaign in 1999, and just over a year later, the Museum opened a

new 44,000 square foot facility as the cultural anchor in Mizner Park, downtown Boca Raton.

Under Bolge’s direction, the new Museum opened its doors in January 2001 virtually debt-free. Today, celebrating 10 years in this new facility, the Museum has achieved an international stature as one of the most successful, non-profit cultural and educational institutions in the state of Florida.

In addition, in 2005 the Boca Raton Museum of Art was named “The Official Fine Arts Museum for Boca Raton,” another recognition achieved under Bolge’s purview.

Over the past decade since its move to Mizner Park, the Museum has welcomed nearly two million visitors

and has organized more than 200 exhibitions, a significant achievement for a community organization the size of the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Some of the Museum’s pro-grams include art films, artist lectures, family programs, the Annual Art Festival and more than 100 classes a week at its studio Art School. Museum auxiliaries include The Artists’ Guild, Friends Auxiliary and Collector’s Forum.

Neighborhood Sports Bar’s football fans raise $800-plus for Forgotten Soldiers Outreach BOCA RATON - The Neighborhood Sports Bar’s football fans got a chance to play quarterback in the parking lot on a recent Sunday afternoon as they attempted to toss footballs through the goal post in order to raise funds for Forgotten Soldiers Outreach.

The toss, along with the buffet, raised more than $800 for the “We Care” packages that FSO ships monthly to United States servicemen and women serving overseas.

“We are so appreciative of Alex Goodrich and everyone at Neighborhood Sports Bar for hosting this event for us,” said Lynelle Chauncy Zelnar, founder of Forgotten Soldiers Outreach. “This was such a fun day for everyone, and it provided us with the opportunity not only to raise funds, but to raise awareness about the many basic items our soldiers need everyday.”

‘The House of M. Lucretious’ a book of wonders

Boca Raton psychologist Liz Alexander has many talents.

She is an excellent therapist; she does past life regression therapy and has the common sense of three wise men.

But when she said she was writing a book, I yawned and thought to myself, “So what else is new?”

But after she handed me a copy I realized I owed it to her (and myself) to read it.

And what a story she told (with writing partner and clinical psychologist peer Jean Bratcher).

It turns out that both women are adept at past life regression therapy and both understand the ramifications of delving into the past to explain (and express) the present. If you are familiar with the work of Dr. Brian Weiss (author of”Many Lives Many Masters”), you will remember that he healed many patients by regressing them to former incarnations.

Whether you believe in this form of actualization (or therapy) does not matter when reading “The House of M. Lucretius.” But what does matter is that the book is beautifully written and tells a tender moving tale of

“The House of M. Lucretius”

by Boca author Liz Alexander

and their daily lives in a house filled with cooks, assistants, valets, relatives and staff. We also get to eavesdrop on the slow yet subtle love that develops between the two main characters, Claudia and Marcus.

When Claudia goes to the Villa of Mysteries and the ancient bath house, we get to go with her. The bath house is where royalty (and the well heeled) used to go to soak and schmooze in ancient Pompeii.

Not only do the temples and forums come to life on the pages of this book, but we get to witness (and delve deep) into the personal lives of Claudia and Marcus as it unravels in front of our lives. There are the gladiatorial battles in the forum and the ceremonies that entertained people nearly 2000 years ago in ancient Rome.

As we near the end of this amazing journey we realize that Maggie is having flashbacks of her former life in Pompeii. And that reality is what helps her navigate her present life.

Although the book is fictional, there is a bit of truth to its premise. “In my practice as a psychotherapist I see this type of thing happening. A childhood experience starts the difficulty that the person is trying to overcome, but the problem was really started years or centuries ago,” said Alexander.

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not this book is stunning in its descriptions and character development. We live and learn about ancient Rome in its Author Liz Alexander discusses most primitive and primordial form. her book.

love and life in ancient Pompeii as it relates to the character’s lives in the present.

The book starts out following the life of 27-year-old Maggie Knaveen, an attractive, intelligent scientist.

Maggie is what you would call a workaholic, and when she meets a dashing lawyer named Mark Hampton, she brushes him off like lint.

Eventually they do fall in love but Maggie is unable to commit.

So she does what most of us fantasize about, she runs away. But not to Cleveland or Palm Beach, but to Rome, Italy. It is in Rome that the book becomes mesmerizing. We travel with Maggie to Pompeii as she discovers the past life of Claudia Quinta, a gracious and beautiful woman married to a powerful loving man named Marcus Lucretius. It is their courtship and day to day existence that is absolutely riveting.

The story is told so vividly that you almost feel their pain and pleasure as they navigate the household dramas (and traumas) of life in ancient Pompeii.

We watch their courtship,

Old pros having violent fun in ‘Red’

Helen Mirren, armed and ready, in “Red”

From left, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren in “Red” First, you should know “Red” stands for Retired Extremely Dangerous.

“Red” is a CIA conspiracy plot spoof adapted from a DC Comics graphic novel.

It stars Bruce Willis as retired but extremely lethal black ops agent Frank Moses. Frank is bored and out of sorts in his quiet Cleveland suburb. His only di-

version is lengthy phone calls to Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker at her dewy-eyed best), a government pension employee who works in Kansas City.

The second thing you need to know is that this has an incredible cast of old pros having the time of their lives acting out ridiculous revenge fantasies.

You know this is a comic book right away when a squad of black-suited, masked gunman descend on Frank’s little house and riddle it with so many bullets the front porch falls off.

Frank Moses is of course unscratched, and he proceeds to dispatch his attackers one by one, as well as a second backup squad.

Then it’s off to Kansas City where Frank suddenly appears inside Sarah’s locked apartment. When she gets alarmed, he gags her, binds her, throws her in the car and takes off for New Orleans.

You know this is comic book love at first sight.

First up is Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman), age 80 with stage 4 liver cancer, living in a nursing home.

When Frank tells Joe the CIA has tried to kill him and he may be next, Joe is in.

Robert Schwentke directs at blistering speed, interspersing witty one-liners with amazing collisions, nearmisses and huge fireball explosions.

Next up in Pensacola is Mar-

vin Boggs (John Malkovich in his funniest, most overthe-top role ever) a wacky, paranoid survivalist who mistrusts cell phones, computers, the Internet and the modern world in general.

Marvin has achieved his unique vision having been fed LSD experimentally for 11 years. He is perfect for this mission.

In Virginia the team picks up Victoria (Helen Mirren), a polished Brit with a lethal knack with a machine gun. Later Victoria’s former lover, Russian agent Ivan (Brain Cox) joins the band.

With a little help from Henry (venerable Ernest Borgnine), keeper of records deep in the bowels of the CIA, Frank will get the

lowdown as to why CIA agent Cooper (Karl Urban) has been ordered to assassinate him. The trail will lead to arms dealer Alexander Downey (Richard Dreyfus, as a snarling, sniveling villain), and up to the office of the vice president of the USA. The plot is patently absurd nonsense, with our heroes dodging bullets, missiles and flying vehicles and batting them away as if they were flies.

This is great stuff for the over-50 set, and I think kids can enjoy it too for all the action and mayhem. No one will ever mistake this for great art, but as slam-bang entertainment, at this moment in time it can’t be beat.

Superior Italian Dishes Bravo Caruso!

Gina and Lillo’s Caruso Restaurant is alive with superb Italian offerings from appetizers thru soups, salads, pastas and a spectrum of entrees to sweet, sweet desserts.

The creative appetizers include scampi with sea scallops sautéed with mushrooms in a chardonnay and lemon sauce, delicious prosciutto di Parma with flordilatte cheese and roasted peppers, an excellent pepper crusted yellow fin tuna seared carpaccio with olive oil lemon and orange zests topped with fennel and arugula, drizzed with citrus vinaigrette. In addition we had large Mediterranean mussels with julienne vegetables in a fantastic wine/ curry sauce. The sautéed calamari with it’s garlic, white wine and grape tomatoes was delicious as the grilled calamari over arugula with lemon and olive oil.

Two soups are featured - a very light tortellini in broth and as well as a smooth pasta e fagioli with crated cheese, both very tasty in-

deed.

Five salads are listed covering a wide variety of ingredient combinations.

Variations of pasta dishes include a spinach fettuccine in tomato/cream sauce with ground sausage, peas and pecorino cheese- delicious and filling. Likewise, the ravioli pillows in their tomato/cream sauce had peas and a bit of fresh mint - Both are winners. There are nine additional pasta combinations on the menu as well.

The fresh fish selection stars a boneless branzino alla francese served on a bed of spinach with mashed potatoes. This really is a specialty fish done here to perfection. The Hawaiian blue snapper - a filet sautéed with tomatoes plus garlic, olives and dainty white asparagus was a joy to try.

Additional entrees include three veal dishes, filet mignon, Hawaiian king prawns and three chicken variations. Delicious side dishes include spinach or broccoli in garlic and oil or

broccoli rabe.

The desserts include a very light and tasty tiramisu, a lime cake-very creamy, sorbet and gelato and tartufo semifredro Caruso’s pear tart and apple tart need 20 minutes to prepare-order early when you dine.

Portions are generous and pricing are reasonable for these fine quality dishes.

ASK DR MAN

By Dr. Daniel Man

It’s no longer a taboo for men to have cosmetic treatments Dear Dr. Man, I’m 54 years old and I consider myself a handsome guy.

I have a great job and a beautiful wife. I am interested in keeping my looks young, especially since my wife is 15 years my junior.

What are some plastic surgeries that men can get?

I don’t want something as drastic as a facelift, but I would like to erase a few wrinkles or shrink my love handles.

Answer: An increasing number of men today are having cosmetic surgery to help them look younger and more attractive. Like women, men have discovered the benefits of cosmetic surgery, both personally and professionally.

Men are recognizing that wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, droopy eyelids, baldness and double chins may make them look old and tired, and appear less competitive on the job and in their personal lives.

Like women, men want trimmer waists and fewer wrinkles. Many men also desire more hair. Men are rejuvenating their faces

with face, neck and eye lifts, forehead and brow lifts; having lasers and peels to remove the wrinkles and make their skin look younger; resculpting their noses and undergoing liposuction and tummy tucks.

What used to be taboo is no longer. Many men today go to designer hair salons, get facials and other skin treatments, and even shop at cosmetic counters.

The number of people having cosmetic surgery is up; and men are a large part of that increase. Many of my patients say they don’t want to keep putting off their dreams and goals.

Another reason for the increase is that Baby Boomers have reached the “unfashionable” age of 50. In a society that values youth, 50-year-old executives are competing with younger, fitter and more competitive 30-year-olds, who are often willing to work very hard for less money. I hear from many patients that their baggy eyelids and tired appearance often affect their peers’ perception of their ability to perform

their job.

Men also find that they want to keep pace with younger-looking wives.

For single men, there may be even more pressure to look younger and more attractive on the dating scene.

As you can see, plastic surgery in men is very popular; and there are many options available for men who want to look younger and more attractive. The decision to have plastic surgery is up to each individual. If you’re considering surgery, visit a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and which procedures would be best for you.

FAITH

BARRY’S BUZZ

By Pastor Sandy

By Barry Epstein

Perseverance It seems all of us are prone to excusing ourselves. Rather than persevering to the end, we began to use our creative resources to concoct reasons why we can’t complete the task. I ran across this poem in a children’s book...

All My Great Excuses I started on my homework but my pen ran out of ink.

My hamster ate my homework.

My computer’s on the blink.

I accidentally dropped it in the soup my mom was cooking.

My brother flushed it down the toilet when I wasn’t looking.

My mother ran my homework through the washer and the dryer.

An airplane crashed into our house.

My homework caught on fire.

Tornadoes blew my notes away.

Volcanoes struck our town.

My notes were taken hostage by an evil killer clown.

Some aliens abducted me.

I had a shark attack.

A pirate swiped my homework and refused to give it back.

I worked on these excuses so darned long my teacher said, “I think you’ll find it’s easi-

er to do the work instead.”

-Kenn Nesbitt Revenge of the Lunch Ladies

monly translated which convey somewhat different meanings.

Where did we ever get the idea that “things” were easy or that problems and difficulties are unique to us.

Anyone who ever did anything of substance had to learn to persevere. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, conducted some 18,000 experiments before he achieved that goal.

Dr. Jonas Salk of polio vaccine fame worked tirelessly for three years before he succeeded in blessing the world with an effective weapon against that crippling disease. Abraham Lincoln failed to win the political office he ran for six times before he became President. Albert Einstein said, “I think and think for months, for years; 99 times the conclusion is false.

The hundredth time, I am right.”

The Bible says in 2 Peter 1.6 “add to your faith... perseverance.” The problem is that perseverance, or “patience” as the KJV translates it, has come to mean virtually the opposite of irritability. It is what we need to do to control ourselves when the kids are acting up in the back seat of the car again.

Patience, in the biblical sense, means much more than hard-to-come-by calmness in irritating situations. Two words are com-

Endurance is first passive The word is used in another book of the Bible, James 1.12, where we are encouraged to “endure temptation.” Here something comes upon a person; something happens to him.

Endurance is the ability to withstand. This is the ability to “take a licking and keep on ticking” as the old Timex commercial use to tell us.

Perseverance is also active Here the idea is that one is doing something and encounters difficulty in continuing it or seeing it through to conclusion, but we press on despite the temptation to quit.

This is the encouragement from Galatians 6.9: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

The encouragement is this, we must advance on against opposition. Is there a term then that embraces both dimensions... is it “steadfast continuance” or “patient endurance?” What ever definition you settle on and whether you are pursuing spiritual or vocational goals, if you want to succeed, you have to have the ability to keep on keeping on... It will be worth it in the end...

WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN?

By Gerald Sherman

Prospecting – ‘There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills’ We can make the analogy that prospecting for gold in the gold rush days is similar to finding prospective clients today. You’ve got to work at it!

If the prospecting element is not in the company’s plans, within a few years the roster of active accounts will dwindle into an unhealthy situation. The action of constantly looking for potential clients is necessary if a business is to survive.

Statistically, a business can expect 10 to 15 percent of their active clients to be lost each year due to a variety of factors, including competition, financial problems and retirement.

Taking this rate of attrition into consideration, it is reasonable to assume that your account base will shrink dramatically if new clients are not added.

What appeared to be a healthy account list can change rapidly. An organized plan for prospecting saves time and earns money for the company, while ensuring continuity in sales volume from year to year.

Before developing a list of prospects, you should first

seek to identify your target market and develop a client profile to determine who would be most likely to purchase your product or service.

To further identify your target market it is imperative that you learn how to research your market and where to obtain such information. The research should also enable you to gain an understanding of the prospect’s culture and mindset prior to meeting with the client.

Once you have defined the market and potential customers’ base, you will need to figure out the best way to make contact with the right prospects. The best method of locating prospective clients is by use of established marketing methods. Advertising, public relations, networking and organizing events play an important role in this marketing mix. Each of these elements should be timed and coordinated to deliver the same message to your target audience. Consistency is the key to getting your message across in developing your brand.

Organizing a plan to obtain

a significant number of prospects through referrals from current clients, business associates, centers of influence, family and friends can also yield positive results. After gathering the information, it is imperative to determine the differences between a “prospect” and, what can be referred to as, a “suspect”.

History tells us that there was “Gold in Them Thar Hills”.

However, only the prospectors who had perseverance and worked hard were the ones who found the gold. Make prospecting a part of your daily routine and you will find it will give you a golden opportunity to grow your business.

With over thirty years of practicing medicine under his belt, Hevert is still just as dedicated to the profession as he was when he be-

gan his career.

“If there’s one thing I’m committed too, its personal care with patients and the personal connection that blossoms through that relationship,” said Hevert.

Glades Medical Group... Continued from page 23 Miami Florida. Dr. Jorge Montalvan has recently relocated from a medical practice in Rochelle Park, New Jersey and was affiliated with Hackensack Medical Center, one of the top hospitals in the country. Kristen Norden ARNPBC is the nurse practitioner providing exceptional care for the practice. She was a clinical critical care Registered Nurse with over nine year’s experience and received her Master’s and ARNP (Nurse Practitioner) from FAU. “In my opinion, our staff is comparable or far exceeds the talent and experience of any medical group in the country,” said Dr. D’Oliviera, who was born in Brazil and relocated to S. Florida at the age of eight with her family.

The Glades Medical Group office is spacious, comfortable , and features an exceptionally friendly and welcoming team of top notch employees. Not only is the ambiance warm and welcoming, wait time for

patients is minimal due to the advanced equipment available on site. There is a full, state of the art laboratory available for patient lab work which allows results to be completed very quickly. This is a convenience that saves the patient from traveling to multiple locations for diagnostic testing. MRI and radiology is handled personally as well, so that most appointments are set up before the patient leaves the office.

“What we did with Glades Medical Group is streamline the entire process to take the hassle and travel out of the equation. We not only want our patients to receive top notch care. We want their complete experience to be easy and comfortable,” said Hevert.

The role of the primary physician is to know their patient’s bodies, as well, if not better than they do.

Should there be a medical emergency or new medical diagnosis or a need for surgery, Glades Medical

Group will facilitate the care, coordinate with any specialists and ensure that the patient is receiving the best treatment in the shortest time possible.

“We have privilege with Boca Raton Regional Hospital and a physician on call 24 hours a day,” said Hevert. “So, if there is an emergency we can work directly with hospital physicians. We cover all the bases.”

Glades Medical Group is the premier doctors office in South Florida. Their client base is growing and includes young adults, adults, and grandparents.

“I love working with people of all ages,” said Hevert. “At Glades Medical Group we strive for a comfortable, supportive atmosphere in which all of our patients well being is paramount. That is our mission.”

OLEDA TALKS Oleda Baker

Your Voice Has Power… More so, If You Learn to Take Advantage Of It! I’m not old enough to remember silent movies and the popular film stars of the 1920’s, but, many of the public’s illusions about those very famous people were destroyed when “talkies” came to movie theaters.

Grand impressions of flawless faces and figures were shattered when some actors’ voices were actually heard for the first time.

We may not be movie stars but the sound and quality of our voice is just as important- not only in our careers, but also in relating to loved ones and friends and in our day-to-day conversations in general.

You Don’t Have To Be “Stuck” With The Voice You’ve Had All Your Life.

You Can Change It. Your voice is a wind instrument. Your lungs provide air, your vocal cords are vibrators, and your throat and mouth act as a “horn.”

When everything is in harmony, the voice can be like music to the ear, soothing and persuasive. But, when “off key,” it’s like a musical instrument that needs tuning.

Don’t Speak Too Slowly Or Too Fast.

Our voices can do a great job of either turning listeners on or turning them away. Fast talk sounds impersonal and overbearing.

Slow talk suggests you are bored, so you may find the people you’re talking with soon become bored as well.

Is Your Voice Nasal?

The main cause of a weak, nasal, voice is tension in the muscles at the back of the tongue. “Talking through your nose” is usually caused by not opening your mouth wide enough when speaking. When that happens, sound will be forced to come through your nose.

Train the muscles at the back of your tongue to relax.

Test this by holding your hand in front of your mouth and nose, and then feel the air as you blow it alternately through your mouth, then your nose. To be clear and crisp when speaking, the air should be coming through your mouth.

Do You Have A Piercing, High Pitched Voice?

Some women have a highpitched voice that is penetrating. A lower-pitched voice strokes the body, is

more pleasing and gets more attention.

If your voice is highpitched and penetrating, take a few deep breaths and say, “I don’t think it’s going to snow.” Then lower your voice and say it again… keep doing this until you reach a level you’re comfortable with. Practice this low “tone” until you are accustomed to it. Think of the musical scale, “ do re mi fa so la ti do.” Go up and down…see what range you really have?

Do You Mumble? Speak In A Monotone?

This has an easy solution.

Stretch open your mouth as wide as you can and repeat the vowels, A E I O U. See how closed the mouth has been? Practice this and you will soon “hear” yourself when you mumble.

Don’t forget to use your new sound on the phone too. Your voice really counts there.

I remember many years ago thinking I needed to lower my voice a little . . . and I did!

Until next time, Love, Oleda

Oleda Baker, now 75, began her career as a high fashion model with the prestigious Wilhelmina Model Agency, based in New York City and doing print and TV assignments in New York and Europe. She has written ten books on beauty, diet and health.

DOG TALK WITH UNCLE MATTY

Educating Kopek Without fail, the words “you’re pregnant” send people on a preparation binge.

Homes are reconfigured, sharp objects are softened, baby goodies are bought, philosophies on sleep are decided, preschools are booked and sports cars are sold - all within a matter of nine months.

In short, people who are going to have babies learn about babies.

If only it were so with dogs.

It’s come to my attention over the past 30-plus years in the dog business that some folks just don’t get it.

The woman who was feeding her 10-pound pup five cups of food a day and complained because he was having “accidents” inside the house doesn’t get it. Feed your Yorkie like he’s a Great Dane, and, yes, housebreaking is going to be a challenge.

The man who told me his dog runs away, pulls on the leash, barks excessively and knocks down small children by jumping on them and then in the same breath said, “But he’s trained! He just has trouble with those four things”. He doesn’t get it. Even the most basic of obedience training would be sufficient to equip dog and owner with the tools to prevent those problem behaviors.

As it stands, the mantra of so many first-time dog owners seems to be: I got this dog, and he doesn’t listen.

As if puppies arrive at their new homes with an English-to-Canine translation book in paw.

Dogs don’t come with diplomas. Puppies don’t perform on command unless taught. And repeating the word “no” no matter how loud your voice or red your face does nothing to instill it with meaning. Why is it that so many people are flabbergasted that a puppy doesn’t understand what they’d never expect an infant to understand?

PET OF THE WEEK that wonderful feeling of connection would follow for both of you.

The same feeling comes from successfully communicating with your dog.

Dogs want to please their humans. They want to feel a sense of purpose.

But many of the calls I take boil down to unwitting confessions of animal abuse: My dog won’t listen. I yell at him. I tell him “no.” I hit him with a newspaper. I put him in the bathroom and close the door. I take away his food.

I leave him in the garage...

Sasha will bring sunny days into your life

Story, photo by Pam D’Addio

Ever traveled in a foreign country not knowing the language? If so, you can put yourself in your dog’s shoes. If you were traveling in Turkey and did not know Turkish, how would you feel if someone were flailing their arms and screaming “kopek” at you over and over again? Scared? Curious?

Amused? Less convinced of the merits of international travel?

What if he were saying the word “kopek” while pointing to and petting his dogs? You’d probably smile and say, “Dog!” And

And those conversations inevitably begin and end with the person blaming the dog.

“He doesn’t listen.”

Communication is tough.

Newborns cry, and their parents struggle to figure out how to make them stop. Put-upon dog owners say “he doesn’t listen” when the more accurate statement would be “he doesn’t understand.” How could he? Education for children is mandatory, so the communication gap is temporary. Education for dogs isn’t required, but it most definitely should be.

Woof!

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RESULTS

Heartbreak at Homecoming The Bobcats Run out of Time as they fall to Broncos

Article and Pictures by: Orlando Greenwald The homecoming game was a beautiful scene; Corey Lewis Stadium was taken over by a beautiful sea of black and gold. The stadium was packed for the highly anticipated matchup against cross-town rival West Boca High School.

But, at the end of the game, the beautiful sea of black and gold ended up surprised and stunned as the West Boca Bulls, thanks to senior KeAndre Biggins, won the game 20-14.

With less than 13 seconds left in the game, Bulls’ quarterback Alexander Prakas connected with receiver A.J Walters for a 15 yard gain. Upon the completion, Walters was met by Lions defense who tackled him and forced a fumble.

But, thanks to an alert play

by West Boca senior KeAndre Biggins, the Bulls escaped overtime by winning 20-14 as Biggings picked up the fumble and rushed for a touchdown with no seconds left on the clock.

An expression of sadness and complete awe fell on the sea of black and gold.

The Lions played a hard game that at one point included a 14 to 7 lead.

Losing your homecoming game and being seconds from overtime doesn’t bestow the credit deserved by this team. They fought

Pictures and article by: Jon Ricco

hard in a game that was ultimately decided by a bounce of the ball. Being there at the right place and right time Biggins gave West Boca bragging rights until next year.

A game that was fought with passion and will is always hardest to lose. This will be no exception.

The Boca High Bobcats had another great night weather wise for football. With the full moon and a slight breeze from the north, the night was perfect, but could the Bobcats turn it into a victory against the Palm Beach Central Broncos.

The Bobcats started with great field position due to a kick out of bounds. On the first drive of the game, the Bobcats capitalized on an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on 4th down to find themselves trying for a field goal. With a penalty of their own they lost yards pushing the field goal attempt

by David Picknel further back, which he would miss.

The defense stood tall in the first quarter with Boca keeping Central at bay to keep the game scoreless.

In the second quarter penalties for both teams kept the game at a dull rate until Boca muffed a punt deep in their own territory giving the ball to the Broncos on the two yard line. Running back Ray Wilson punched

it in for the touchdown bringing the game to 7-0.

With the first half coming to an end Boca’s quarterback Kevin Anderson found some passing room to receiver Harrison Denton for 45 yards, but they would soon turn the ball over on downs as coach Keith Byars was ranting on the sideline into the locker room for a score of 7-0 at the half. In the third quarter the game was beginning to get even more physical as the hits were becoming harder and more punishing. Both teams were held scoreless in the third. With the full moon rising steadily to start the fourth, the Bobcats had to dig out of the hole they put themselves in and seemed to do all season. This could be the season that would allow them to keep their slim chances of the

playoffs alive. Cameron Lewis and Keith Byars came out big in the fourth on a powerful drive by, Boca deep into Centrals territory but a controversial lateral from Anderson to Lewis resulted in a 65 yard touchdown return for the broncos bringing the score to 14-0.The clock now became the opponent for Boca as they were able to get Lewis on a deep pattern getting the score to 147. On the next position for Central Ray Wilson had a 55 yard rushing touchdown putting Central up by two touchdowns again. Kevin Anderson marched down the field fast with a crossing pattern to Lewis and a short 2 yard touchdown by Byars for a 21-14 score. On the on-side kick it seemed Boca had recovered the ball but must have lost it inside the pile resulting in a fight that led to rejections for Central. The defense would get the ball back for Boca but with an interception, Boca fell to 2-5 on the season with a game on the road against Atlantic High in Delray Beach.

Golfing - The joy of golf The three greatest lies of all By: Bill McRea I started playing golf as a way to entertain clients and socialize with my business vendors. If you have decided to take up golf as a hobby you will be rewarded with the benefits of fresh air, exercise, and the addition of many new friends and acquaintances.

You will also be humbled by the process of learning HOW to golf. Like any project you approach in life your attitude and expectations will determine your enjoyment of the game.

You will learn that the road to a low handicap is earned through countless bad shots, bunkers, water hazards and triple digit scores. You will invest a lot of time in practice.

Welcome every hook, slice and 3 putt as a learning opportunity. Even the most horrendous mistake is a learning opportunity.

Golfing provides a rich opportunity to meet new people and provides you with opportunities for social interaction. You will get to meet new people in a setting in which you both have an avid interest, which makes for easy conversations. Golfing is also an excellent opportunity to meet like minded single people if you are looking for new people to meet.

How much golf equipment do you actually need?

Golf is a very expensive game but there are affordable options. A high-end brand name set of clubs can set

you back several thousand dollars but there are quality and affordable alternatives. Before buying clubs you should visit several golf stores and club pro shops. Test different types of clubs, determine which club length is best for you, get to know the different types of grips available and learn the difference between graphite and steel shafts. Take time to learn about the different types of golf balls, gloves, shoes and tees.

When you are choosing a golf bag you will first need to decide if you are going to walk the coarse or ride a cart. Golf bags are available in a range of materi-

als make sure to choose one that is suited to your climate. Golf shoes are important; make sure they are comfortable and waterproof.

Should you take lessons from a golf professional?

The answer to this question should be yes, but it depends on your budget. Golf lessons are expensive but will make learning the sport considerable more enjoyable, and you will be playing good golf i n considerably less time. A more affordable alternative is to purchase one of the many training programs available by dvd. You can also use the internet as your open resource to learning more about the game without spending a lot of money, Before you lift a club, you need the right attitude, and remember to remain positive, quiet your mind and remember it’s only a game. And game are supposed to be fun, so make golf fun and you can play for the rest of your life.

time in golf!

By: Bobby Lopez, PGA Here are the greatest lies in golf. Keep your head down, keep a stiff left arm, I’m from the government and I’m here to help you!

Starting with the first one, keep your head down.

I’d like to meet the idiot that started that phrase, “keep your head down”. I can show you pictures of Butch Harmon giving a lesson to Tiger Woods with a golf club grip up under Tiger’s chin which Butch was using to get Tiger to stand tall and keep his chin up. Tiger Woods moves his head back on the back swing and forward on the downswing. Most touring pros have their heads move downward through impact while they are stretching out and low before rising to the finish of their golf swing. Yes Jack Nicklaus preaches keeping your head perfectly still, BUT Jack positions his head well behind the golf ball at address and before he starts the golf club back he turns his head to the right to make room for a healthy shoulder turn.

Trying to keep your head perfectly still will most likely put you in what is called a reverse pivot at the top of your backswing. The by product of that is you will need to pivot backward or away from the target in order to square up the golf club at

impact costing you club head speed and yardage.

The second great lie is a stiff left arm, (right arm for lefties). I played a lot of golf with Calvin Peete and I can tell you that he had is arm bent all the time, yes I mean all the time. He ad a accident that caused his arm to be bent as did Ed Furgol who won the US. Open many years ago. Look at Hank Khuene on tour and how much he bends his left arm and he is one of the longest on tour.

A little bend or softness in the left arm is preferable.

Bottom line is you should not pay attention to generalities and rules of thumb when it comes to golf.

Heck, Lee Trevino used to move his feet at address before drawing the golf club back which would be considered a very nasty habit.

He certainly did very well and was one of the best and most consistent ball strikers on tour.
