Rainwater floods plaza parking lot.

BOCA RATON – If you looked out your window this morning and saw a big yellow ball in the sky, you weren’t still dreaming.

The sun has actually returned to the Sunshine State.

But you wouldn’t know this was Florida for the torrents of rain that fell this past weekend. South Florida got a lashing from the outer bands of a passing hurricane (Rina) and then got slapped by another passing weather front.

“We got a lot of rain,” said Sandra Boonenberg, public information officer for Boca Raton Police Services. She said there was flooding in the usual spots along with stalled-out cars and some power outages.

There was nothing Boca PD couldn’t handle, though.

Boonenberg said there was flooding in the area of Second Avenue, at Camino and Federal, Jeffery and Second and along Federal Highway north of 20th Street. Some traffic lights also malfunctioned.

She said the traffic turmoil could have been worst, but the most torrential rain happened late Friday when most of the population had taken shelter from the storm.

“There were not a lot

of issues,” she said. “Usually, the city puts up signs warning of flooding.”

Rain continued in spotty fashion over the weekend, and often popped up when least expected. Often, it came in the form of showers that didn’t last long.

Weather sources say the Boca area got about 5 inches of rain – officially, 4.46 inches at the Palm Beach International Airport.

It could have been worse. In Hobe Sound far north of Boca, 42 mobile homes were damaged by a tornado. In fact, warnings about the potential of twisters were broadcast on TV and radio, with meteorologists standing in front

of maps with large areas of red and yellow – the signs of heavy rains.

Luckily, the worst of the bad weather abated before little ghouls and goblins took to the streets for Halloween Monday night.

They didn’t seem to mind the damp sidewalks and hedges as they searched for treats.

Boca got socked hardest by the early rains of Friday and Saturday – those associated with Hurricane Rina as it passed to the south. Weather officials said Boca along with neighboring Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Highland Beach recorded the heaviest downpours from the late-season cyclone.

Quote of the Week: Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.

Boca’s Lynn University to host final presidential debate in 2012 BOCA RATON – Just weeks before the presidential election in 2012, the two candidates for the nation’s top office will square off in a debate – at Boca Raton’s Lynn University.

Lynn has been selected as the site of the final 2012 presidential debate by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). It will be held October 22, 2012.

The CPD is a nonprofit, nonpartisan corporation and has sponsored all general election presidential and vice presidential debates since 1988. Lynn was one of 12 sites nationwide, and the only institution in Florida, under consideration to host one of three presidential, or one vice presidential debates, produced by the CPD. “Being an undergraduate or graduate student here on our campus when such an historic event takes place will provide a

singular and unparalleled educational experience,” said Lynn University President, Kevin M. Ross.

The site has already hosted a Congressional District 22 debate in October 2010 between thenincumbent Ron Klein and Allen West.

Lynn University submitted its application to the Commission in January 2011 and hosted staff from the Commission on Presidential Debates over the summer for an on-site survey of the proposed debate venue and campus.

Lynn University received overwhelming and nearly unilateral support for its application from government officials at all levels, including the entire Florida Congressional Delegation, the Florida Cabinet, the leadership of the Florida Legislature, former Governor Jeb Bush, former Governor

and Senator Bob Graham, Palm Beach County officials, Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel, and many others.

Preparing for an event of this magnitude will require the campus and community to come together now and organize for the arrival of the candidates,

their campaign staff members, and thousands of national and international journalists expected to come to the area to cover the debate.

“It is a tremendous challenge, but Lynn University will be prepared to welcome the nation to Florida for the final debate

before the 2012 general election,” Ross said.

A press conference to discuss the debate was scheduled this week at the site of the debate, Lynn’s Keith C. & Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center.

School officials said no additional comments

about Lynn’s hosting of the debate would be made before the press conference.

A website for the 2012 presidential debate at Lynn University is currently under construction and will be live in the coming weeks.

Boca 4-year-old sets up pink lemonade stand for breast cancer cure

BOCA RATON –Fouryear old Sophie Steiber wanted to do her part for the American Cancer Society’s annual walk to support breast cancer research.

Sophie thought the walk might be a bit too much for her little legs, but she knew that all the walkers would love an ice cold cup of pink lemonade. So, she set up her stand along the walk route on Palmetto Park Road, in front of ego the salon, which sponsored her stand.

Sophie was so proud of herself, she raised $333.56.

She had one little problem.

Many of the walkers were so disappointed that they had no money with them. Sophie was even willing to give them the lemonade for free, telling all the people with the pretty pink bras that they could pay her later.

(A child’s innocence and trust is what more adults should learn.)

Sophie’s mom, Natalee, is currently talking with the American Cancer Society to help come up with a plan for next year. They

would like to remind all the walkers to bring there dollar for Sophie’s Pink Lemonade. She hopes to raise a lot more money next year.

A toast to Statue of Liberty and all she represents!

Story by Jackie and Christina Zarrilli Giovanni Zarrilli entry documents Italian Passport into USA stamped January 1, 1963

Antonietta & Vincenzo Zarrilli’s entry documents Italian Passport into USA stamped January 1, 1963

As the Statue of Liberty celebrates its 125th Gala my family and I gather around the dinner table and raise a toast to her and the ideals she stands for. The belief in freedom is the foundation of our great country and a moral value for which countless have sacrificed to achieve.

The Declaration of Independence declared that we were conceived with the “unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” So many have traveled far, leaving the land of their birth, to adopt this principal and make the United State their home. Americans believe in the ideals of this country and have fought to preserve them so today’s youth can live the American Dream.

My father, Vince Zarrilli, an Italian immigrant, he still cries every time he tells me of his first sighting of the Statue of Liberty, almost forty nine years ago. Born in a rural Italian village without running water, electricity or cars, Papa dreamt of going to university. His mother finished first grade before working in the fields; his

father, fourth grade before becoming a tailor. Despite many obstacles, leaving all they knew behind, his father at age 51, his mother 48, and my Papa age 13 choose to come to America so my dad could pursue his dreams. He and his family left Italy in 1962 several days before Christmas and rode steerage in an old ship call the Saturnia.

Their ocean voyage was dramatic. They thought they would never make it as the ship they crossed the Atlantic in hit three major winter storms and almost sank twice. They prayed with other seasick passengers on Christmas morning unable to eat the meager meal provided.

Arriving two days later than expected, on New Year’s Eve 1963 my dad (his folks too sick stayed in their bunks) made his way out on the slippery ice encrusted deck as the Saturnia pulled into the New York Harbor. In the confusion of boarding the boat, my dad had forgotten his warm coat in Italy, but he said that he didn’t mind the biting freezing night air as all he felt was the excitement of pos-

sibilities as he focused on the warm glow of hope radiating from the Lady’s Torch lighting the way to the land of opportunity.

My father learned English, worked hard, earned a college degree and became a United States Citizen.

His folks never returned back to the land of their birth and are buried in their adopted home. My dad visited his home town of Calitri in southern Italy when he graduated college and took me there as a child. I had the good fortunate of taking a study abroad program in Italy the summer of 2010. It is the stories of my family’s sacrifices and the Italian American traditions and values of importance taking responsibility, getting an education and being part of a community has lite the way for me much as the Statue of Liberty lite the way for my dad.

So I as I toast the Statue, I give thanks to all who braved the journey and have labored to make America a place where dreams can come true. I am so lucky to be living in our bountiful country with its boundless opportuni-

The smartest dog in the world – Part II If you read this column regularly, you know I have raved in the past about my wonderful dog, how smart he is and how his behavior is top-notch.

Well, I didn’t think it could happen, but he has actually gotten smarter. If he could talk, I would enroll him at an Ivy League school – preferable one that has a dog as a mascot.

(Maybe I’d send him to my alma mater, Northeastern, whose symbol is the indomitable husky).

I’ve read that dogs generally have the vocabulary of a two-year-old human.

Well, at age five, my little Peanut understands complete sentences.

In his own very cognitive way, Peanut has developed a number of rituals.

I know most dogs have this trait, but Peanut has a way of making his idiosyncrasies seem so human.

Case in point. Peanut has developed a love for Dentastix. (I just call them sticks). I read the label and determined that for his size and weight, he can have two a day.

So when my wife and I retire for the night, Peanut usually jumps on the bed and watches TV with us.

When the television goes off, our little baby sits up and looks at me. It’s one

of the “looks.” I ask him if he wants a stick. Either he bolts off the bed, or he nudges me in the back or on the knee.

As I walk to the kitchen to get one, he pokes my ankles with his nose. He repeats this ritual one more time. And then he is off the big bed and down on his own for the night.

Is that smart or what?

He knows he can only have two.

If for some reason, Peanut doesn’t get the bedtime message, my wife or I simply says: “Peanut, go to sleep.” And he is gone.

I don’t think I told you that going to bed is Peanut’s favorite thing. In the evening, Peanut lays on his mommy’s lap watching television. (His favorite shows seem to be “Dancing with the Stars” and “X Factor.” Don’t ask me why.) He stares intently at the TV screen.

But around 9:30, Peanut lifts his head from the arm of my wife’s reclining chair and looks at me. I know the look. He wants to go to bed. Since he seems to love his mommy and daddy very much, it is the only time of day he knows we will be with him for hours.

And here’s something.

If I don’t take Peanut to

bed, he jumps to the floor and runs into the bedroom himself. I normally find him later, curled up on the spread, waiting for us to arrive.

I should tell you that Peanut is very protective.

His normal temperament is perfect. But if a stranger comes by, he’s up, running and growling. You can imagine what Halloween was like at our house.

We really should have gotten Peanut a new costume this year. He, again, was Spiderman – but not for long. He soon shook off the cloak and he was his normal self again.

Did I mention how well Peanut is known in our neighborhood? Most people I pass say, “Hi, Peanut,” but don’t even acknowledge me. Our neighbors, Fran and Bob, who take

care of Peanut when we are not around, say this is not a regular neighborhood, it is Peanut’s neighborhood.

So, I walk him each day, living in his shadow.

As he grows more mature, some of his habits are changing. He has never been bothered by fireworks. This year, he refused to go for a walk when they were booming.

He doesn’t like going out in the rain, and looks at me like I’m some dumb human when I try. So you can understand how tough these past few days have been.

Anyway, Peanut is nice and clean from a weekend bath. I think I’ll shut down the computer now and go see my wife and Peanut.

They’re both watching ‘Dancing with the Stars.”

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

By Douglas Heizer

Is Josiah Reese Alvarez the seven billionth person in the world?

Elsewhere in today’s edition you’ll find my offering of personal best wishes to Erica and Raymond Alvarez on the birth of a son, Josiah Reese Alvarez, who entered this world at 12:04 a.m. on Oct. 29.

Around the time my new friends gave birth to their son, I was reading a report on the Internet saying that the population of the world was about to hit seven billion.

Imagine that! Seven billion people in the world.

Seven billion mouths to feed every day. Fourteen billion eyes watching us, 14 billion ears tuning in to what is happening around the globe.

According to the United Nations, the seven billionth person was to be born on Halloween – an odd day for such a significant event in the earth’s population total. Still, who really knew exactly when the seven billionth person would be born? For that matter, who knows for sure that the population of the world has actually hit the magic figure?

Little Josiah may have won the blue ribbon for being the seven billionth, but who knows with certainty? By the time you counted all seven billion, there will probably be another billion to add in.

Actually, it is scheduled

to happen more quickly than you think. Just 12 years ago, the earth was home to 6 billion people, according to the UN, and back in the 1960s, the earth’s population measured only half that number — three billion.

And in the time of our founding fathers, there were just a single billion inhabitants on earth.

Scientists have narrowed down the spot where the seven billionth child is or was likely to be born – India. A baby is born in India nearly every second, making it the fastest growing country in the world. India’s population is expected to surpass that of China, currently the world’s most populous country, in only 14 years.

And in a mere decade, scientists said, we’ll be preparing to welcome the eight billionth person into the world.

I know there are concerns about overpopulation, adequate food, water and sanitation worries, available land for homes and proper education and employment.

I prefer to be optimistic about new babies being born. Life is a wonderful thing, and something to be heralded. I think we can be cautious without being grim.

With about 250 people being born every minute,

UN officials said they are now urging world leaders to help keep up with the demand, with adequate food and clean water, to help ensure the population can be something to celebrate, not worry about.

By the way, the population of the world is expected to hit 10 billion by the year 2100.

Speaking of growth, Alliance Residential Company will host a groundbreaking ceremony at a 17-acre parcel of land located at 7801 North Federal Highway in Boca Raton on Wednesday, November 9 at 11 a.m. The company plans to build a $62 million luxury apartment community consisting of 384 residential units called Broadstone at North Boca Village. The deal closed on Sept. 29 and Alliance anticipates initial lease-up to begin in the third quarter of 2012, with final completion expected in March 2013.

This area was to be North Boca Village, a massive, multi-use facility approved several years ago, but fell through after the company planning it went bankrupt. The property is the site of the former Levitz Plaza.

The new development will be a key to revitalizing the North Federal corridor.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Your Self and Other Selves People exist in different sizes, shapes, and colors. Their voices may be individually identifiable; their laughter is fully their own. Their talents are varied, and their personalities are quite unique.

Because of all that, every person is most hard, if not impossible, to copy. Like snow flakes, people are saturated with individuality.

Furthermore, every person is important in the world. That’s why war is so deplorable, even when necessary, and murder is a most heinous crime. That’s also the reason why many battles for human rights must be fought and won, through sound guidelines.

All humans are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and that speaks not only of our physical

frames and their functioning, but of every single, intricate aspect of our humanity also, which makes “me” me, and “you” you! Someone suggested that after God made you, He threw away the mould, never to use it again!

Indeed, no one else is like you! Indeed, the crown of all creation is not the man Adam, per se, but the entire human race represented in him, since his name – ADAM – means just that!

Therefore, every time you look in the mirror, be grateful for what you see. And I don’t mean the mirror itself, nor its frame, but your own self.

Always remember that you are special, that you have been fashioned in the image and likeness of God. Herein lies our basic greatness!

Recognize the good in

other selves, by paying value to them, by affirming them. As a contemporary writer asserted, “God has no wastebaskets. But for every person and for everything there is a purpose.” If you look for good things in other people, you will surely find them.

With all this in mind, each day rejoice at your own self; recognize that you are special; never lose sight of the fact that you and all fellow humans are beautiful creations.

As the late Reuel Howe encouraged: “Choose to say ‘I am who I am and look forward to the I am that I am becoming’.”

Each individual can only be one’s own unique “self.” Thus, continue to be yourself, and consistently keep on improving who you are to become what you can be!

Boca Historical Society to sponsor open house at Old Floresta home BOCA RATON – The Boca Raton Historical Society will hold an open house at a home in the Old Floresta section of the city on Nov. 15.

The open house will be held at 777 Oleander St., Boca Raton. The cost is $15 a person. RSVP to 561-989-2100 or b.siegel@ langrealty.com The event will include refreshments and tours of this Addison Mizner-designed house in Boca Raton’s historic Old Floresta neighborhood.

The society said many of the houses planned for Addison Mizner’s 1920s development in Boca Raton were never constructed. But the houses of the Old Floresta neighborhood were. And today, it

is one of the city’s historic districts.

The Robinson Company received the contract to begin 29 homes in a neighborhood west of the El Rio Canal on West Palmetto Park Road in 1925.

The houses were planned as a modest version of the Mizner style, with multi level roofs, stuccoed walls, ironwork, and plenty of tile. The homes were intended for the executives and directors of the Mizner Development Company.

The Robinson Company was unable to complete the construction of all of the Floresta homes before money ran out in the “Bust” of 1927. The property returned to the original land owners, one of whom was

Hermann von Holst, who ensured the completion of the subdivision. He also named it “Floresta,” which translates “a delightful rural place,” and assigned the bird and flower names to the streets.

Mizner’s plans for the Floresta homes included 10 models, some one, others two-story. Most of these models were constructed although many homes featured a “reverse” of the plan or were otherwise altered during actual construction.

Most of the homes today have been added on to—a necessary accommodation to modern living.

The house at 777 Oleander Street is a “reversed A” one story style with additions on both sides.

Although the original owner is unknown, it was probably leased to an officer serving at the adja-

cent Boca Raton Army Air Field during World War II. Later, almost derelict, it was restored by long

time owner D.C. Campbell and his wife Faun, who lived there from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Saint Andrew’s Students Deliver on Make A Difference Day

Conine Clubhouse at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital receives supplies for families on October 22 Saint Andrew’s High School Students spent their weekend delivering toiletries, magazines, gently used books, and Beanie Babies to the Conine Clubhouse at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, FL. The Clubhouse is a home away from home for families who have a child in the hospital. More than 600 families stay there each year.

“It was fun,” said Junior Matthew Dagistino. “And we knew we were making a difference when one of the moms staying at the

clubhouse stopped to say thank you. Her son would be going home soon, but it meant a lot for her to have a place to stay so close to the hospital.”

The project to collect items for the Conine Clubhouse was started

by Kelsey Janser after she was a patient at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. She has been working with local hotels, physician offices, and members of the community to collect items for the Clubhouse for almost a year. She has collected thousands of items and

makes regular deliveries, but this time she needed her friends’ help. “We had two SUVs full,” said Kelsey. “Thanks to many generous donors we had toiletries, magazines, and more than 600 Beanie Babies to take to the Clubhouse.”

Beanie Babies have a special meaning at the Clubhouse; they are given to children when they complete their medical treatments.

In addition to collecting items for the Conine Clubhouse, Kelsey has raised more than $2,000

to help purchase toys, video games and new TV’s.

She plans to continue to raise funds and collect more items. “It’s gratifying to help people be as comfortable as possible when their child is sick.

I’m happy to be able to make a difference.”

Make A Difference Day http://makeadifferenceday.com is celebrated the fourth Saturday in October each year and millions of people across the country participate. For more information, or to make a donation, contact Kelsey Janser at 561-999-8826.

School Board seeks input on member residence areas The School Board of Palm Beach County is considering redrawing the School Board member residence areas and is seeking public input on the proposal.

The changes to member residence areas come as a result of the 2010 Census and a desire to better balance population distribution among the seven board member districts. School officials said a priority during this pro-

cess is to keep communities of interest intact.

Visit the Redistricting website at www.PBCRedistricting.info to view the map. The existing (2001) board member districts are shown with a thick blue line to illustrate where the proposed changes are occurring.

Of particular note are the following changes: • The Glades communities will be represented by one board member in

District 6 rather than two board members. Representation by one board member was endorsed by the Glades Tri-City Coalition.

• Likewise, Wellington, the Acreage and Royal Palm Beach are all represented by one board member district rather than being divided by two Districts.

• Western Boca Raton communities are being incorporated into Dis-

trict 5, as is the northeastern part of Boca Raton. Boca Raton is now represented by one Board Member.

• Western Boynton Beach communities are incorporated into District 3 rather than being split between two districts, in an effort to reduce voter confusion.

• The communities of Parker Ridge and Prospect Heights have been incorporated into

District 2. This change was supported by the Hispanic Education Coalition.

• Singer Island has been incorporated into District 1 due to its geographic proximity to the northernmost District.

There are several opportunities for public input as follows: 1. Visit the Redistricting website at www.PBCRedistricting.info to view the

map and submit public comment by email.

2. Fax comments to (561) 434-7380 3. Attend a community input meeting. See schedule below. All meetings run from 6 to 7 p.m.

Gas leak in East Boca forces residents to evacuate BOCA RATON – A natural gas leak at the corner of NE 25 Terrace and NE 5 Avenue forced nearby residents to evacuate about 9 a.m. on Oct. 25.

Public Information Officer Frank Correggio said fire rescue crews ar-

rived to find that a crew working in the area had hit the underground 2-inch gas pipe with their back hoe.

He said police quickly evacuated surrounding homes and shut down roads from Federal Highway and NE 25 Terrace

west to NE 4 Way and from NE 26 Terrace south to NE 24 Court while fire crews worked to stop the leak.

Hazardous material technicians from Boca Raton Fire Rescue lifted the bucket off the pipe, removed excess dirt, and

then used a special clamp to stop the leak.

Residents were then allowed to return to their homes, Correggio said.

No injuries were reported. Florida Public Utilities were contacted to repair the pipe.

Michael Kelly, a driver with Gold Coast Beverage, told officers he was making a delivery to Publix and had left the rear of his truck unsecured.

Kelly said before he made his delivery, he noticed a male looking into vehicles in the parking lot.

When Kelly returned to his truck, he saw the same male hiding in

Man attempts to rob deli in Boca Raton

BOCA RATON – Boca Raton Police are searching for a man who tried to rob Deli on the Rye, 4311 North Federal Highway, just before 1:30 p.m. Oct. 23, police said.

Officers met with the store associate who said a male entered the deli, walked to the rear of the store, and then approached the register in the front of the store.

Police said the suspect placed a bag of chips on the counter and using his left hand, removed his wallet

from his pocket. The suspect took a $5bill from his wallet, put the wallet back in his pocket, and handed the money to the employee.

When the employee opened the register, the suspect lunged across the counter and tried to grab money from the cash drawer. The employee briefly struggled with the suspect and was able to push the suspect’s hand away and slammed the register drawer shut with her hip.

The employee called for the owner, who was a short distance away. As the owner approached the register, the suspect pointed his right hand, which was wrapped in a black towel and possibly concealed a weapon, at the owner.

The police report said the suspect left the deli and walked south towards NW 43rd Street, with the owner following. The suspect told the owner, “If you follow me, I’ll put a cap in you.”

The owner returned to the store. No one was injured and nothing was taken.

Police said the suspect was in his middle 20s, 5’10” to 6’ tall. He was wearing a black, long-sleeved t-shirt with a design on the back and “Boot Hill” written across the top and sleeves.

other accolades. Miami City Ballet won over the very critical Paris dance audiences and critics -who rewarded the company with nightly standing ovations up to 10 minutes long.

“Miami City Ballet is dancing like the New York City Ballet was dancing under [George] Balanchine. They are dancing a living Balanchine,’’ Valéry Colin, director of the annual Les Étés de la Danse festival told the New York Daily News.

If you missed the Miami City Ballet in Paris, you’re in luck. During the 2011-2012 season here in South Florida, the troupe will feature ballets that were huge hits in Paris.

You may end up sharing the feelings of Parisians and tourists who had never seen Miami City Ballet before – including an artist from Fort Lauderdale – who left highly impressed.

“Attending performances of Miami City Ballet was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris this summer,” said famed pop up book artist, Chuck Fischer, a Fort Lauderdale resident.

“Who knew I'd have to fly across the pond to first experience this worldclass ballet company. I'm looking forward to their upcoming season at the Broward Center!”

Program 1 has already been performed in Broward County. It includes Square Dance, Afternoon of a Faun, Liturgy, and In the Upper Room. These four were presented at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort

History, Music and Romance Blend in “Mozart’s Sister”

Blues FortyOne - The Place to be for Great Food & Live Music

Steak with Sweet Potato Croquet

Eggplant Tower

Crunchy Eel Roll

Panna cotta

Scene from “Mozart’s Sister”

Did you know Wolfgang Mozart had a sister?

Did you know she may have been a musical genius too?

That is the premise of “Mozart’s Sister,” a beautiful and melancholy film

by French writer-director Rene Feret, starring his daughter, Marie Feret, now playing at FAU’s Living Room Theaters.

I did not know about Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia Mozart (Nallerl for short), born in 1751, four and a half years ahead of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, her gifted, certifiably genius younger brother.

The film begins in 1763 during the rule of King Louis XV of France. The Mozart family is plodding along in their carriage when father Leopold (Marc Barbe) discovers an axle has cracked and must be repaired to continue the tour that will ultimately take

them to the Palace of Versailles and an audience with the King and his court.

The main attraction is 7-year-old Wolfgang (David Moreau), who is not only a virtuoso violinist, but composer of the music he plays. Sister Nannerl accompanies on harpsichord and piano and sings. She used to be the star violinist, but stern, chauvinistic Leopold insists violin is not for a woman. Furthermore he refuses to let her compose music or teach her how to write it down.

The family makes a detour to a convent that just so happens to have some very special guests. They are the illegitimate daughters of Louis XV, infamous for his debauchery. The eldest, Louise de France (Lida Feret, another of the directors daughters), takes an instant shine to Nannerl.

The girls begin confiding,

and Louise gives a letter to Nannerl to deliver to the boyfriend of her dreams at Versailles.

It is through this boyfriend the Nannerl, disguised as a boy, meets the Dauphin (Clovis Foulin), the only surviving son of Louis XV. The Dauphin, shy and insecure, finds himself attracted to the messenger “boy.” When Nannerl confesses her true identity, the Dauphin is even more intrigued and asks her to compose something that can be played at his court.

“Mozart’s Daughter” is a frothy mix of history, romance and feminism. It is sumptuously beautiful, as much of it was filmed at Versailles. Music lovers will adore its soundtrack. It is highly doubtful how historically accurate it is, but it is a delicious “what if ?”

Three stars

My latest BocaFoodFind is the new Blues/ Jazz Restaurant in Downtown Boca called Blues FortyOne (41 E. Palmetto Park Rd.) I ventured out there the other night with a friend to check the place out. We were warmly greeted and asked if we'd like to be seated at a table or if we preferred to have a seat at the bar. We decided upon the latter. To get the evening started, I selected the Diseno Old Vine Malbec, ($7) and my friend had the Blufeld Riesling, ($7) both very tasty.

We then glanced at the menu and soon discovered that it was quite eclectic. It had everything on it from Steak, Veal, Lamb, Pork and Fish to Sushi, Soups & Salads. It was explained to us that the thought behind the menu was that they

wanted to be able to have something on the menu that would appeal to everyone in the party who came there. Well, I believe they hit their mark with these offerings. As we were trying to decide what sushi to start off with, Sushi Chef Chi came over to us and asked us to tell him what we liked. We both agreed that we liked eel and also a crunch factor, so he suggested we try the Crunchy Eel Roll, ($11), which was actually an adaptation of the Crunchy Tuna Roll. Besides the eel, which was definitely the star ingredient of this roll,

it also had scallion and avocado and was fried perfectly. It was excellent, and quite a work of art to boot!

Next up was the 14 oz Prime NY Strip Steak, ($39), with grilled Zucchini & Sweet Potato Croquettes. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection and the croquette had a nice crispy coating and a soft flavorful

Top Ten Trends for Fall!

Somehow I can't even think about fall fashion shopping until November.

Maybe I need the chill of the 70's to inspire me..ha!

But with the sale racks beckoning I thought I better head to the mall!

Trend wise there is great variety and many classic styles that make the must-buy list.

Velvet: While most of us have the traditional black velvet slacks and many velvet wraps, the color spectrum of velvets this year makes for a bright selection, from burgundy to cobalt blue to gold, there's lots to choose from.

Red: Red rules this season. Red dresses, red slacks, red tops and many accessories. So whether you choose to make people hum Lady in Red when they see you, or you just want a few powerful pops of color, you've got your options.

Capes and Ponchos: Ever since I was kid I have had one! And they are perfect for South Florida winter nights. From classic blacks to more colorful tartans, there are lots of ways to get wrapped.

Shoulders: Not since Donna Karan brilliantly made the shoulder the focal point of her collection years ago, has there been so much attention to this sexy spot. Make the most of it!

Peplum: Hmmm excess material at the hips?

Not sure about this trend, many designers showcased the looks and it has a wonderful classic throwback style, but see how it flatters your figure. And if it doesn't, then skip it.

Graphic Patterns: Bold prints worn with other bold prints were a runway regular for fall. The graphic prints can be fun and dramatic but best for the average woman when paired with something more subdued.

Leather and Lace: Not necessarily together, but both are trendy for fall.

You'll see lots of leather skirts in all lengths making it perfectly appropriate for all occasions. The lace looks are flirty and feminine and always welcome in the closet!

Tuxedoes: This season the ladies are taking over the tux. Many of the designers were paying homage to YSL's 1966 Le Smoking tuxedo with their own take on the style. The look can be very sexy on the right woman.

Shine and Gloss: Just as fall's makeup has a shiny and glossy metallic feel so do many of the fashionable looks. Choose carefully. Shine and gloss only your best assets!

High Slits: Many of the long-flowing skirts add a super sexy appeal thanks to some thigh high slits. Definitely a superstar style!

center. Not pictured, but definitely a highlight of this dish were the crispy shallots that were placed on top of the steak. They were amazing! We decided to share the EggplantPortobello Tower ($22), which consisted of lightly breaded/fried eggplant and grilled portobello mushrooms drizzled with a balsamic glaze, roasted tomatoes and grilled zucchini topped with a little

dollop of fresh hummus.

Delicious!

To end this very satisfying meal, we were brought out a beautiful Panna Cotta, ($7) -Italian Vanilla Custard with a trio of berries (Raspberry, Blackberry and Blueberry) with Grand Marnier and brown sugar.

Simply divine!

While we dined, a pianist played ambient jazz music, which we were told is typical during the dinner hours and that they kick it up a notch with premium

Blues bands later in the evening. For a complete line up, you can check their music schedule online at http://www.bluesfortyone.com/.

Innovative Stone-Bridge Golf and Country Club does it again...

Stonebridge, a recently 13 million dollar renovated facility, is known for its luxury, elegance and magnificent new Clubhouse, as well as the beautifully manicured golf course with many lakes, lively tennis matches and a brand new chef putting out magical food . If that’s not enough, Stonebridge has added something new and exciting for it’s community…

The club has introduced the elegant art of fly-fishing at designated areas on three of its lakes.

No…this is definitely not the pole with a worm on the end fishing….this is SPORT fly-fishing with thousand-dollar, sophisticated rods and reels and tight sport fly-fishing rules. Must use manmade flies….one MUST de-barb all hooks…it’s Catch & Release only… one must police their area before leaving….. observe Thor Guard lightening warnings at all times… areas on the lakes are chosen for their location, distant from golf fairways

Read

and greens so as to never interfere with golfers’ play, and so on….

Members have always been permitted to fish from the banks of their own private property but now have the choice of meeting in a designated “public” fishing area. Not everyone has a lake in their back yard says our own Tribune columnist Oleda Baker, “OLEDA TALKS”, so this gives everyone an opportunity.

So how did our glamour columnist become involved with a sport mostly coveted by men? “Over 30 years ago I went with a friend just to be nice and I got hooked,” she says with a smile. “I became an avid fly-fisherman long before it became so popular. I must admit I much prefer to fish walking a beautiful river or stream up North or our West while listening to the sound of the running water hitting against the boulders. But I’ll take a lake any day if no river is available; and these lakes are beautiful.

I introduced my husband, Richard DiMeola to flyfishing ten years ago… being a golfer I wasn’t sure “’it would take,’ but he fell in love with the art and beauty of it all and can roll cast better than me…I love it!

“A dear friend at the club, Bob Riesner and I together, presented the idea to the board not knowing if it would fly. After a couple of months of honing the “’just right’ fishing spots, making maps and writing and rewriting the rules, we were successful. Bob is an avid all around sport fisherman so he added spin-casting and bait-casting. Thanks to our innovative youthfulthinking, flexible board we have one more activity at Stonebridge.”

After listening to Oleda’s passion, it makes me want to try it myself.

She tells me the lakes are filled with fish such as Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Sunfish, Catfish, some up to 5 pounds. I think I will call her up!!

Florida receives “D” on 2011 March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card November 17 is First-Ever World Prematurity Day

Florida received a “D” on the March of Dimes 2011 Premature Birth Report Card, but the biggest news is the three-year, improving trend in its preterm birth rate.

“Our state’s preterm birth rate has improved this year. We’re proud of this achievement and what we accomplished by working together with our partners for stronger, healthier babies,” said Julie Samples, ARNP, MSN, March of Dimes Florida Chapter Program Services Committee Chair. “We are determined to continue to find and implement solutions to improve the health of babies, such as improving access to health care coverage, helping women quit smoking, and preventing unnecessary early c-sections, so more babies can get a healthy start in life.

Factors that contribute to preterm birth improved in Florida. It earned a star for: • Reducing the percentage of women of childbearing age who smoke • Lowering the late preterm birth rate Since 2006, Florida’s preterm birth rate has dropped to 13.5 percent.

The rate of late preterm births is 9.6 percent; the rate of women smoking is 17.3 percent, and the rate of uninsured women is 28.5 percent.

Quality improvement programs are key to lowering preterm birth rates, according to the March of Dimes.

In Florida, March of Dimes supports programs that provide information and support to families with babies in a neonatal

intensive care unit. We have grant-funded programs in Hillsborough and Duval Counties that provide education and support to women who have had a stillbirth, infant death, or who have had a baby in a NICU, to help them reduce their risks for future pregnancies. And we have the “Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait” campaign, which is working to prevent nonmedically indicated deliveries before 39 weeks of pregnancy.

A normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but in recent years it has become more common to schedule deliveries early at 37 or 38 weeks.

The United States received a “C” on the March of Dimes Report Card.

Grades are based on comparing the state and the nation’s 2009 preliminary preterm birth rates with the March of Dimes 2020 goal of 9.6 percent of all live births. The U.S. preterm birth rate is 12.2 percent down nearly 5 percent from the peak of 12.8 percent in 2006.

Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks complet-

ed gestation, is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to the Institute of Medicine. It is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. Even babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. At least 39 weeks of pregnancy are critical to a baby’s health because many important organs, including the brain, are not completely developed until then.

The March of Dimes says its 2020 preterm birth goal can be achieved by a combination of activities: implementing proven interventions to reduce the risk of an early birth, such as not smoking during pregnancy, getting preconception and early prenatal care, progesterone treatments for women who are medically eligible, avoiding multiples from

fertility treatments, avoiding elective c-sections and inductions before 39 weeks of pregnancy, and by funding new research on prevention of preterm birth.

This year, for the first time, a World Prematurity Day will be observed on November 17 by the March of Dimes along with organizations in Africa, Europe, and Australia.

An estimated 13 million babies are born preterm and of those one million die as a result of their early birth, according to an October 2009 March of Dimes report on the global toll of preterm birth.

For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ worldprematurityday.

The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

FAU’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities names new director BOCA RATON – Florida Atlantic University’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD) has named Maryellen Quinn-Lunny as its new director.

Quinn-Lunny comes to FAU after a long tenure as the executive director of exceptional student education with the Martin County School District.

“Maryellen brings to CARD a superb understanding of district, as well as state level decision making for students with special needs,” said Jack Scott, Ph.D., executive director of

FAU’s CARD. During her time with the Martin County School District, Quinn-Lunny also served as the director of exceptional student education, overseeing a dramatic enhancement in programs for students with autism spectrum disorders.

She also was a member of the State of Florida Transition Advisory Committee and Florida Department of Education Bureau Partnership Advisory Board.

Quinn-Lunny received a mas-

ter’s degree in education with a focus in moderate special needs from Suffolk University in Boston, and a bachelor’s of science degree in elementary education from North Adams State College in Massachusetts. She also was certified as an educational specialist in learning disabilities at Nova University and received certification in administration and supervision from FAU. “I look forward to working with CARD and being a part of the beneficial services the Center offers,” said Quinn-Lunny.

“Many communities are affected by autism and related disabilities, and CARD is here to be proactive and useful to those in need.”

Housed in the College of Education, FAU CARD provides free support and services for people with autism and similar disabilities, their families, schools and community agencies. It has offices in Boca Raton and Port St. Lucie, and a staff of seven clinicians serving more than 2,500 families.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital notches second straight profitable year BOCA RATON – After slogging through red ink for a couple of fiscal years not too long ago, Boca Raton Regional Hospital seems back on the fiscally prudent track.

Officials at BRRH have announced that its audited financial results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 show the institution earned a profit of $4.5 million – the second year in a row that its ledgers were in the black.

The fiscal 2011 result actually reflects an improvement of $3.5 million over its prior year – and a $125 million improvement in the hospital’s financial

results compared to fiscal 2008.

“We continue to see material progress is securing our financial base,” said Jerry Fedele, president and CEO at Boca Regional.

“While challenges remain before us, it is extremely gratifying to see our focus and efforts result in a second consecutive profitable year and add to the remarkable turnaround we began just three short years ago.”

The hospital’s financial results were impacted positively by growth in inpatient and outpatient activity as well as improvements in the management

of length of stay. For the year, Boca Regional realized total operating revenues of $358 million on adjusted admissions of 40,630. Operating EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) was $28.5 million, a $0.4 million improvement over the prior year and a $64.1 million improvement compared to 2008.

“Though we find great satisfaction in our financial performance, our success is certainly not limited to the balance sheet,” Fedele added. “This past year saw us add significantly to our

programmatic and technologic strengths as well as continue to receive noteworthy accolades regarding our quality of care and service.”

Fedele highlighted the hospital’s acquisition of minimally invasive robotic surgery and a state-of the-art Hybrid Operating Room as examples of this burgeoning technology. He noted Boca that Regional again was designated by HealthGrades as the number one hospital in Florida for cardiac care and named a “Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence” for the seventh year in a row. Only 50 of

the nation’s 5,000 hospitals have achieved that status.

He also said the hospital’s latest Press Ganey patient satisfaction scores show all nits at or above the 90th percentile nationally.

“By any measure, we are demonstrating that Boca Regional is thriving and is, indeed, one of the preeminent, advanced, tertiary medical centers in Florida,” he said.

Columnists The Boca Raton Tribune

Persall Smith, in his work Afterthoughts, wrote: “There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.”

The question comes, “what are we waiting for to really enjoy life?” Is it something or someone or some magical event?

Someone described the seven stages of man’s life like this: spills, drills, thrills, bills, ills, pills, wills. If we are going to do something with our lives, now is the only time we have and now is our only window of opportunity. Ps 39:4-5 says "Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.

You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath." (NLT) Someone took the

time to estimate how most of us use our time.

If we live to 75… We will spend 3 years in school (24 hours a day); 7 years eating; 14 years working; 5 years driving a car and riding in an airplane; 5 years talking; 1 year recovering from sickness; 24 years sleeping and 15 years amusing ourselves.

Now is the time to take a risk.

Solomon, the wise king of Israel wrote, “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.” (Ecc. 11.4) There is no guarantee that bad things won’t happen, even if we try with all our might to keep them from happening. We cannot change the weather, taxes, bills, final scores of ball games, people’s responses, the passing of time, or the inevitability of death. A Georgia farmer, ragged and barefooted, was standing on the steps of his tumbledown shack.

A stranger stopped for a drink of water and just to pass the time of day he asked: "How is your cotton coming along?" he asked.

"Ain’t got none," replied the farmer.

"Did you plant any?" asked the stranger.

"Nope," was the reply, "afraid of boll weevils."

"Well," continued the stranger, "how is your corn?"

"Didn’t plant none," came the answer, "’fraid there weren’t going to be no rain."

The visitor persevered: "Well, how are your potatoes?"

"Ain’t got none. Scairt - of potato bugs."

"Really, what did you plant?" pressed the stranger.

"Nothin’," was the calm reply, "I jest played safe."

Stop worrying about things you can’t control.

Q: My husband and I were divorced in California five years ago. We have three children, now ages seven through 12.

The California court set child support based on California law, and our incomes at that time. Since then I have re-married and moved to Buford, Georgia. My ex-husband has moved to Boca Raton; he started a new business, and appears to be doing much better financially.

According to the kids, he lives in a huge home in a gated country club community, plays golf and drives a Mercedes.

I want to ask for more child support. Do I have to do that in California?

Can I sue in Georgia? Do I have to sue in Florida?

What state’s law applies?

What do I have to prove?

Will he have to pay my attorney’s fees for bringing him back to court?

A: Since neither of you still lives in California, that state’s courts do not have continuing “exclusive” jurisdiction.

Since it appears that your former husband does not live in Georgia, it would be your choice to go back to the California court, or to bring the action in the Florida court, in Palm Beach County, where he resides.

Your first burden of proof, if you file in Florida, is to establish that there has been a permanent, material change in the financial circumstances of the two of you upon which the original child support was based. This may include an involuntary loss of income on your part, or an increase of the income of your former husband.

Once you file your petition for modification, you will have all of the discovery tools available to you, provided by the Florida rules of procedure. He will have to provide the preliminary automatic discovery, under Family Law Rule 12.285; you can ask for his detailed financial information back to the date of the divorce, in-

cluding information about his new business.

If the Florida court finds that a permanent, material change has taken place in the basis for child support, it must apply the Florida child support guidelines, which can be found in Florida Statute 61.30. The court can award you an increase in child support retroactively, to the date of your petition. Your ex-husband will be credited for any payments he has made under the California order, in determining what he owes you after the modification.

The general rules for attorney’s fees in Florida would apply. Although you will become personally obligated for fees and costs to your Florida attorney, under your retainer agreement, the court may award you fees against the children’s father, if he is in a better position to pay fees than you are. Temporary fees as well as final fees can be awarded.

#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:

I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried products with Benzoyl Peroxide, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users.

All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. Proof that it really works.

The NSC Minnesota Stars won the first North American Soccer League title against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers on a 3-1 aggregate following a 0-0 draw Saturday, October 29th, on a wet Lockhart Stadium.

Being the lowest ranked seed in these playoffs, the NSC Minnesota Stars went through a tough gauntlet of teams to get to this point. They had to go through the third-seeded FC Tampa Bay, the regular season champion Carolina RailHawks, and finally, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

The match tonight was tough for both teams.

A rainstorm prior to the match caused the field to be very wet, making the ball tough to play with a simple touch or pass.

Throughout the entirety of the match, the Strikers pressed forward trying to get the two equalizing goals to send the match

into extra time.

The first chance came early to the Strikers. Gerson Mayen, sent through on goal, had a chance to test the wet conditions.

However, those same conditions caused his first touch to be heavy, and send the ball out of bounds for a goal kick.

Shortly after, NSC Minnesota got an attacking free kick in the Strikers half. Luke Mulholland, who was consistently on the ball dictating tempo, play a ball into the box.

Untouched, the ball look destined to fall into the back of the net. Matt Glaeser stepped up and dove to his left, putting enough on the ball to send it out of bounds.

The first half ended with the only serious chance for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. After a resulting corner from a deflected pass, Mike Palacio curled in a cross which

found defender Toni Stahl in the back of the box.

Stahl got his head on the ball, but it sailed just wide.

The start of the second half continued to see the Strikers press high up and attack. Again, the NSC Minnesota Stars defense communicated well and broke up the Strikers' build up.

The last real chance for the Strikers fell to Mayen.

Walter Restrepo dribbled down the right wing and chipped the ball into the box, looking for someone.

Mayen, through the Stars defense, got a foot onto the ball, but could not convert.

The rest of the match saw the Strikers pressing forward and playing the ball into the box, but the Stars remained calm. They cleared each ball, kept the attacking movement out of the box, and clinched the first North American Soccer League title.

The Boca Raton Tribune SPORTS East/West Boca Raton, FL The Fort Lauderdale Fell to the Minnesota Stars this past weekend in the NASL Championship Series 3-1 but Striker fans, known as Striker Likers, filled Lockhart Stadium. A record 6,849 was announced at the game. The second place finish in the NASL is a great victory for a team that halfway into the season looked like it would not even make the playoffs. Fans were excited to finally have playoff soccer back at Lockhart for the first time since the San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Miami Fusion. Here are a few pictures of some of the “Striker Likers” at the game this past weekend

The Boca Raton Tribune SPORTS East/West Boca Raton, FL

High School Football Weekend Recap Life Christian 28 Boca Raton Christian (2-5) 14 Heber Michel rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns but Boca Raton Christian fell to Kissimmee-Life Christian Academy 28-14 on Saturday afternoon.

Michel gained his yards on 15 carries for the Blazers.

The Lions improved to 1-7.

The game was called in the third quarter because of inclement weather.

West Boca Raton (2-6) 23 Spanish River (3-6) 0

The Bulls used an effective rushing attack to earn their first District victory in a game that was called at halftime because of pounding rain that left the field unplayable.

Eugene Bethea capped a 5-play, 60-yard drive on the Bulls' first possession with a 20-yard touchdown run that would be all the points West Boca would need. He finished with 86 rushing yards on just eight attempts.

Junior linebacker Nicholas Telford led the Bulls' defense with four solo tackles and two sacks as they held the Sharks (3-6, 0-6) to minus-20 yards rushing and only 23 yards of total offense. Antaurius Walters and Zach Miner also scored for the Bulls, and Brandon Geffrard recorded a safety when he tackled Sharks quarterback Taylor Schnaars in the end zone. Juan-Carlos Tavares and Eric Bolek led the Spanish River defense with four tackles apiece.

Pahokee 36 Pope John Paul II (1-7) 0 Jonathan Jordan ran for four touchdowns, leading the Blue Devils to the rout of the Eagles in Pahokee.

St. Andrew’s (5-3) 35 South Florida HEAT 0 Gary Gladden scored three touchdowns, two receiving and one rushing, to lead the Scots to the rout of the Heat in Boca Raton.

The game was called at halftime because of lightning.

Seminole Ridge 53 Boca Raton (2-6) 7

Seminole Ridge added another dimension to its offense and passed to a 53-7 victory over Boca Raton at CalleryJudge Stadium.

Junior quarterback Antwan Washington threw for scores on his first three pass attempts, and finished 7-of-9 for 72 yards and four touchdowns.

The Hawks built a 27-0 halftime lead - behind Washington's arm and the running of Gary Holmes, who had 21 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown - then scored 26 unanswered points to end the game.

The Bobcats' offense was stifled by the Hawks' defense, which forced five turnovers and allowed just four first downs Keith Byars II led the Bobcats with 48 yards rushing and a touchdown on 14 carries, but Boca Raton's only score followed a punt block that gave the Bobcats the ball on the Seminole Ridge 19.

For the game, the Bobcats managed just 70 yards of offense.

Olympic Heights (2-6) 0 South Fork 46 The Olympic Heights Lions were shutout by the South Fork Bulldogs this past Friday 46-0 in Stuart.

South Fork’s run game proved too strong to a Lions defense that seems to be hobbling around this season. South Fork ran for 345 yards compared to Olympic Height’s 63.

Bulldogs’ Dalton Pollock rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns
