of the Week
“Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.Prov.27-3
Paul Triviabits By Paul Paquet
When country rocker Gram Parsons died of a drug overdose, his hippie friends literally stole his body from LAX and tried to cremate it in Joshua Tree, Calif. The amateur cremation went badly, the hippies were eventually arrested, and whatever was left of Parsons was buried in Louisiana. A cop with a sense of humor called it “Gram Theft Parsons,” which is pretty clever. Who was supposed to sing on U2’s “Love Rescue Me,” only to bail for a Traveling Wilburies tour? A) Bob Dylan B) Allen Ginsberg C) BB King D) Luciano Pavarotti Previous answer: U2 wanted Dylan to sing for them.

Back to School jam will rock Wayne Barton Study Center Saturday BOCA RATON – Palm Beach County schools will reopen their doors Aug. 22 as tens of thousands of students return to classes – or begin them for the first time. The kids will need a lot of supplies for the coming year, everything from pens to backpacks. Stores and malls are sure to be crowded this weekend. And on Saturday, many thousands of boys and girls, along with their families, will crowd the Wayne Barton Study Center for its annual Back to School jam. The Boca West Foundation – which signed on early this year as mentors to the Barton Study Center kids and donated money to upgrade computers
– will be helping thousands of children in need to prepare for school. Also on hand will be members of the West Boca Rotary Club. Study Center Founder and CEO Wayne Barton told the Boca Raton Tribune that some 8,000 people showed up at last year’s “jam.” This year, it runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
on Saturday, Aug. 13, and he said he hopes for even more. The “Back to School Jam,” he said, “ensures that all children are afforded an opportunity to have backpacks, school supplies, health exams to include physicals, immunizations and eye exams, and vital information provided by various organizations
within the community.” “We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today,” said Barton. “Many children begin the first day of school without the basic necessities to have a successful academic year due to the family’s inability to provide the resources that are required by many
school districts. In essence they are behind before school begins. “ Every child who attends Saturday’s event will receive a grade appropriate backpack filled with the required school supplies. Kids will be able to get haircuts and hairstyles and sports physicals. The Boca Raton Lions Club will be providing eye exams and certificates to get glasses at Lens Crafters. A dental hygienist will also be on hand to provide the youngsters with free dental care, tooth brushes and information about how to care for their teeth. Food, music and are also on tap. Clothing, fruit and vegetables will be available to bring home.
Barton is on a mission to improve the academic achievement for students by developing and implementing educational programs at his Study Center. He wants to make sure that no child is without the proper tools needed to succeed, not only in the classroom but in their everyday lives. High school graduation is the expectation of the Study Center; a college education is the goal. The Back to School Jam will be held at the Wayne Barton Study Center at the Count and Countess de Hoernle Building on the John & Peggy Henry Campus, 269 NE 14th St., Boca Raton.

Morikami gets $95,000 to expand Stroll-for-Well-Being program DELRAY BEACH – The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has received a $95,000 grant from Astellas USA Foundation to support the expansion of its Stroll for Well-Being program of therapeutic garden walking to nonprofit counseling, support and therapy groups serving those who
are experiencing emotional health issues. Stroll for Well-Being is designed to provide a peaceful experience in a nurturing environment that promotes serenity and resilience in the face of adversity. The program is intended to serve individuals who are dealing with personal stress-management
issues, despondency, or emotional exhaustion. Research, including a study conducted at the Morikami, has shown that the simple act of walking in a natural environment or garden setting has positive effects on mood and outlook in individuals. Based on such research, Stroll for Well-Being uses
a guidebook/journal featuring several themed walks that identify points throughout the Morikami garden at which to pause, reflect, and experience a sense of ease. The guidebook/journal was developed by researchers at the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University as part of a study they conducted at Morikami in 2005 and 2006. The study, which looked at the effects of garden visitation on mild depression in the elderly, was funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services, an agency of the federal government. Since the conclusion of the study, the Morikami
Museum has offered Stroll for Well-Being to the general public for the cost of a year’s membership to the museum and the price of the guidebook/journal. The grant from Astellas USA Foundation will allow the museum to expand the program to eligible counseling and support groups by funding the
costs of the membership and the guidebook/journal for participants. Interested leaders, counselors, or facilitators of counseling and support groups should call the Morikami Museum at 561495-0233, extension 235, for more information or to find out how to register for the program.

Doug Mummaw new president of Rotary Club of Boca Raton When Doug Mummaw was a senior at Boca Raton High School, he received one of four $1,000 scholarships awarded in 1983 by the Rotary Club of Boca Raton. That scholarship enabled him to go to college to receive an education and become an architect. Now Mummaw is an architect in Boca Raton. After becoming established in his profession, Mummaw was approached by a friend to join the Rotary Club of Boca Raton. That was six years ago and now he is the incoming president of the club, an organization with just under 100 members. His term officially began on July 1 and will last one year. "The vision I have is to discover and rediscover opportunities for service. There are opportunities all around us to serve our neighbors. We need to think about things that have been overlooked." Mummaw said it is important for Rotary Club members to look for opportunities to help other people in life. "I am receptive to opportunities to helping others. This may mean giving someone five dollars to get some food or helping someone out. I want to help make a positive change in the lives of other people," he said. "Our own futures are built as a result of this service." The primary goal of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton is "Changing Lives and Building Futures.

Boca Police Tactical Team arrests alleged auto burglars
"This mission is the motivating force behind all our service endeavors," saidMummaw. There are three major projects that the Rotary Club of Boca Raton organizes throughout the year. The Outstanding People And Leaders (OPAL) recognizes outstanding people and leaders in the community. People from five sectors of the community are honored. They include Healthcare and Medicine, Education, Community Service, Private Business and Government. These individuals are honored at a special black tie event. There is a Future Stars Performing Arts Competition that involves middle and high school students. These students
offer singing and dancing performances during a special spring show. "We have hundreds of kids try out for 32 positions," said Mummaw The Rotary Club of Boca Raton offers a scholarship program. Members of the Club often mentor students during the year. Those students who perform well may receive a college scholarship. "This past year we raised enough money to help 13 students go to college," said Mummaw.
BOCA RATON – The Boca Police Tactical Team arrested two suspects on auto burglary charges about 5:45 p.m. Aug. 2. Officers were watching the parking lot of Fitness for Women, 7561 North Federal Highway, due to recent automobile burglaries at fitness centers in the city, the police report said. While watching the parking lot, the officers saw a black Chrysler Sebring back into a parking space near a Chevrolet Suburban. The driver of the Chrysler, later identified by police as Elizabeth Thompson, 22, of Pompano Beach, got out and looked into the Suburban. Thompson repeated this action three more times, looking into different vehicles before leaving the parking lot. Officers followed Thompson and when she committed several traffic violations, they pulled her over. Officers met with Thompson and her passenger, Randall Brooks, 29, of Lauderhill, whose seat was reclined all the way back, obscuring him
from view. Police said they smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Thompson told officers her driver’s license was suspended. When officers told Thompson they had been watching her in the parking lot, she told them that starting at 9 a.m. in Miami, they had been committing automobile burglaries and some of the property was hidden in the roof lining of the car. According to police, Thompson said they committed several burglaries at LA Fitness just off Yamato and Congress in Boca Raton. Thompson said she drove the vehicle and Brooks broke the windows of the victims’ cars using a screwdriver, which was in the glove box. Thompson also told officers that Brooks had cut himself on the window of one of the cars at LA Fitness. Thompson said they committed between five and 10 burglaries. Brooks refused to speak with officers, but they saw cuts on his forearm and glass on the floor of the car where he was

sitting. Officers recovered property from several different burglaries. Officers arrested and charged Thompson with burglary to an automobile, loitering and prowling, and several traffic infractions. Brooks is charged with burglary to an automobile, possession of burglary tools and loitering and prowling.

EDITORIAL By Dale King
I hate to admit it, but this one caught me totally by surprise. I was thumbing through the movie ads this past weekend when I noted several mentions of “Planet of the Apes.” Had I just gone through a time warp? Didn’t I see this movie back in 1968 – the one that allowed Charlton Heston to run around in a loincloth, his hairy, sweaty body visible to all? It also cloaked famous stars like Roddy McDowell, Kim Hunter and Maurice Evans in suits of simian ilk No, I have since discovered. This one is actually a 2011 edition, ironically a “prequel” to the first “Planet” incarnation from the late 1960s. It did pretty well at the box office, outdistancing every other film on the silver screen. (Second biggest seller was “The Smurfs,” which gives you some idea of the likes and dislikes of your average movie goer.
Business DOUGLAS HEIZER: C.E.O DINI HEIZER: C.O.O. CHRIS CATAGGIO: C.M.0
Don’t monkey with the ‘Planet of the Apes’ saga The original “Planet” spawned a series of sequels as well as a TV show from 1974 which, as I recall, didn’t last long. I figured the “Planet of the Apes” franchise had worn out its welcome in a hurry. So I checked back on the computer, and, yes, friends, there were a bunch of “Planet of the Apes” films – “Beneath the Planet of the Apes,” “Escape from…” “Conquest of ” and “Battle for….” Here’s another one that got by me. It seems that in 2001, a newer version of “Planet of the Apes” was filmed, with Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. I haven’t seen “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” and I know my wife wouldn’t like it – she is not a science fiction buff. So I may have to content myself with past “Planet” films. But I have to say one thing about the 1968 version. That film, along with Stanley Kubrick’s “2001” set
new standards for the quality of science fiction technology. And I remember the ending of the original “Planet of the Apes.” It is not violent, but it is very, very telling – and frightening. What’s happening in the world right now is not a far cry from what is referenced in the film’s conclusion. I’m told that the new “Planet” film has a lot of violence and explosions. The 1968 “Planet” offered its own form of violence, of apes beating on humans the way we beat on circus animals or some of our own pets. (Certainly that was part of the film’s undercurrent, not to mention the obvious racial tones.) In a way, I had forgotten all about “Planet of the Apes.” And so, apparently, had Hollywood. The movie city has long suffered from sequel-itis, one that has concentrated on comic books (Spiderman, Transformers, X-men, Superman, Batman); on heroic archaeologists
(Indiana Jones) and science fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars). “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” has got a long, hard road ahead if it is to match the original entry in terms of becoming a genuine pop culture phenomenon. Success greeted “Planet of the Apes” and so a sequel was commissioned. The sequel was successful enough to carry the series forward to the point in Earth’s past where it is revealed just exactly how the apes were able to carry out their conquest of civilization. I was disappointed to learn that in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” the ape makeup is computergenerated. All the other films used real makeup and costumes. But I’m sure “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” will generate its own following and kick-start the old franchise. Alert Hasbro and Mattel to crank up the toy-making machines.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
By Douglas Heizer
Tribune is preparing to kick off intense sports coverage
Sports have also been a big part of the Boca Raton Tribune’s coverage. The paper is already getting ready to kick off new and expanded coverage, particularly as the college and high school football seasons begin. You can find expanded football news in today’s paper, and more is planned next week, with emphasis on all the local high school teams as well as Florida Atlantic University. Actually, the biggest sports event in the Boca Raton area this coming season isn’t a game – it’s the opening of the new FAU on-campus stadium. Since the FAU Fighting Owls football team started playing in1999, they have not had a stadium of their own. Instead, they had to play down in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Nothing unites a university community like a winning football team, and soon the two-time bowl champions will have a stadium to call their own. It will be a versatile facility that will host a wide variety of events each year, from games to commencement ceremonies to Homecoming concerts. The grand opening is scheduled for Oct. 15, when the Owls host Western Kentucky. But the high schools
will also be well worth watching – and the Tribune next week will publish schedules, games to keep your eye on, players to watch and other details about the upcoming season. The Tribune will not focus only on football. We’ve struck a deal with the MagicJacks, the women’s professional soccer team, to cover their games (home contests are played at the FAU soccer field). And we will continue to cover the Strikers men’s soccer team, which plays in Fort Lauderdale. We will actually be offering double coverage with stories in the paper and game accounts on line – similar to last year, but much more extensive. So, remember, if you’re looking to follow local sports, look to the Boca Raton Tribune. Barton’s in a Jam Wayne Barton is in a jam. But it’s a good one. The founder and CEO of the Wayne Barton Study Center here in Boca will be holding his annual Back to School Jam Saturday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wayne told us he expects at least as many young people and families as last year – about 8,000.

ing has affected everyone of the countless generations since creation. Not only is the human race affected, but the cosmic consequences of evil in the world are most real and present in the entire universe. Yet, amidst all suffering, one may still find a measure of peace and reassurance in spite of troubles, while they’re occurring. Through a right perspective and unceasing personal hope, hardships can be endured with courage by those engaged in the daily, human trajectory through life! Sometimes people are too distracted by the good things of life that they are forced to face difficult moments as a reality check, and a means of learning needed, essential lessons. Life
teaches all humans both in joy and in sorrow. All lessons, if adequately learned, are tools for better living, as years unfold. Often, the greatest and most potent teachings are those learned in pain, or in dark valleys. Yet, any lesson shall be fully valid only if and when applied to daily experience, regardless of circumstances! Rabbi David J. Wolpe offered good perspective on this issue when he pondered: “We suffer the peculiar blindness of those who see only the visible.” Everyone needs to be more attentive to life’s signposts, each pointing to the way one needs to follow to overcome the inevitable blows which life continuously hurls indiscriminately at every member of the human race!

Boca teen athlete returns home a champion from Maccabi Games
BOCA RATON -Avi Leavitt of Boca Raton has returned home from the European Maccabi Games with gold -- and memories! Avi represented the USA Maccabi Fencing Team at the European Maccabi Games held in Vienna, Austria in July. Maccabi USA strives to provide Jewish athletes the world over the opportunity to share their heritage and customs in competitive athletic settings. The US Fencing Team that Avi was a member of took gold in
the Epee Competition. He took 6th place in individual competition. Avi credits US Team Fencing Coach Bruce Capin, with putting together the champion team and promoting hard work and camaraderie. Capin was Avi’s fencing coach at the University of Florida. “I feel incredibly fortunate to have attended an excellent school with a strong club fencing program that prepared me to be able to participate in these games.” Leavitt is a recent graduate of UF
with a degree in computer engineering. Upon completion of the games, Avi traveled around Europe enjoying the sites of Vienna, Austria; Budapest Hungry; Paris France, and Rome, Florence, Pietra Santa and Siena in Italy. Avi raved about the personal tour of Budapest given by Coach Capin, a Hungarian native. “From the preparation, to the competition, to the touring, this was a wonderful unique trip; an experience of a lifetime,” said Leavitt.

Aaronson praises county for transparency efforts, receipt of Sunny Award By Commissioner Burt Aaronson District 5 The county’s Public Affairs Department was recently presented with a Sunny Award from Sunshine Review for making government information easily available to citizens who visit the county’s website. The website also received an A+ rating, placing Palm Beach County in the top 100 out of more than 6,000 government websites reviewed. The Sunny Awards recognize government websites that exceed standards aimed at encouraging open government. If you have never visited our websit, www.pbcgov.com, I urge you to. There is a tremendous amount of information about the county. You can view each county department’s information. You can link to numerous other websites. There is even a section named “I Want To” in which you can find a county phone number, look up property records and even get a train schedule. The National Association of Counties (NACO) presented two awards to Palm Beach County during its Annual Conference and Exposition last month. The County received top ranking among all counties with populations of 500,000 or more. The ranking resulted from the annual Digital Counties Survey. The survey focuses on the results achieved through the use of technology, both
in terms of operating efficiencies and realizing strategic objectives. County staff has focused on building intelligent, paperless systems to automate and streamline key business processes. We maintain a strong Internet presence by offering numerous Web-based applications for accessing services and transacting business with county departments and agencies such as land development, emergency management, emergency dispatch, law enforcement data sharing, human services and planning zoning & building. In addition, the county was recognized for its success in promoting the concept of an open access public network. We have interlocal agreements with municipalities, the Palm Beach County School District, Florida Atlantic University, Palm Beach State College, the South Florida Water Management District and many other public sector agencies. NACO’s second award to the County is most significant. It is an Achievement Award for its sweeping ethics reform measures. The Palm Beach County Ethics Initiative was recognized as an effective and innovative program promoting transparency in government. As many of you know, a grand jury report was issued in 2009. As chair of the County Commission, I immediately began a focused and comprehensive effort to develop an ethics
initiative aimed at restoring public trust. In less than a year, the grand jury’s recommendations were approved and implemented by the County Commission. We established an independent Commission on Ethics, an independent Office of Inspector General and a new county Code of Ethics. In November 2010, 72 percent of the voters approved a referendum extending oversight to the employees and elected officials of each of the county’s 38 municipalities. I am very pleased that the county has received such recognition. These awards prove that the County Commission and county staff work hard to provide that best service possible to the residents of Palm Beach County. As always, I invite your comments on any issue of interest to you. As your Commissioner, I am here to help you. You may write me at 301 N. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach, 33401 or call my staff at 276-1310 or toll free at 877-930-2205. My email address is: baaronso@pbcgov.org.
School Board approves tentative budget; final OK due Sept. 14
Having received tentative approval of the Palm Beach County School District’s 2011-2012 budget, officials are now preparing for final budget approval on September 14, and then will immediately begin working to balance the 2012-2013 budget. Board members voted 5-1 July 27 to approve the district’s $2.3 billion budget. The new spending package is some $234 million or approximately 10 percent smaller than the 2010-2011 budget due to reduced state revenues and the end of federal stimulus dollars. County residents would pay 2.6 cents more per $1,000 of taxable property value to fund the schools next year, $8.18
per $1,000, as required by the state’s “required local effort”. The board can lower the tax rate before its final approval Sept. 14 but it cannot increase it. To balance the budget, the district has been saving money and reducing expenses through hiring freezes, eliminating all non-essential spending, using Edu Jobs stimulus funding and using one time funding such as proceeds from a property sale. Seven hundred twenty-seven positions, some vacant, some filled, were eliminated. Teachers receive a raise- $500 each - and no employees would be furloughed next year if the budget receives final approval. Schools would add
approximately 200 elementary school teaching positions to meet state mandated class-size limits. Officials say next year’s budget will be equally difficult to balance because of the continuing soft economy that is resulting in lower property tax and sales tax revenue that fund education and the absence of one time funding sources. They foreshadow additional budget cuts next year.
Alert officer ID’s and arrests suspect for vandalizing church BOCA RATON -- A suspect who allegedly vandalized Boca Raton Community Church on NW 4th Avenue did not suspect a video camera was watching him while he was committing the crime, according to a police report. When the Boca Raton police officer arrived shortly before 11 a.m. July 29, a church employee told him that he found a front window shattered and four bollard sidewalk lights knocked over. The church employee gave the
officer a copy of the video from the security cameras that showed the suspect committing the crime. Police said the officer viewed the video and saw the suspect throw a sprinkler donut through the window. The officer recognized the person in the video as Jeraad Valkenaar, 32, a local resident who has had numerous contacts with officers over the past several years and lives only a quarter mile from the church. The officer arrested Valkenaar Aug. 4 when he
Jeraad Valkenaar saw him walking down the street. The suspect was arrested and charged with vandalism to a church, synagogue, mosque or religious art.

Stolen Rolex leads Boca Police on a Peruvian odyssey
BOCA RATON - A stolen Rolex watch led Boca Raton Police detectives from Boca Raton to Miami, to eBay, and finally to Peru. Police reports say the case started back in March when the theft victim reported that he believed his roommate stole two of his Rolex watches valued at $5,000. The roommate, Arthur Braun, 24, was no longer living with the victim and his whereabouts were unknown. A search was conducted at pawn shops in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach counties, based upon the serial number provided by the victim and by the name

of the suspect, police said. Though no transactions were found, investigators determined the watch had been sold to a man who knew Braun through rehab. The man, who told police he thought the watch was a replica, bought it for $200 and had it serviced. When he found out it was real, he decided to sell it on Ebay and received $3,161 for it from Michel Ipenza. The watch was shipped to a Miami address. When investigators went to the address, they learned that Ipenza lived in Peru and the Miami shipping address belonged to a friend. Further investigation, police said, revealed that the friend had taken the watch to Ipenza when she visited him on a recent trip to Peru. When Ipenza learned the watch was stolen, he contacted Boca Raton investigators and agreed to send it back. Arrest warrants were filed for Arthur Braun on August 3 charging him with second degree felony, dealing in stolen property.

WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN?
TM
By Gerald J. Sherman
B2B or not 2B Business-to-Business selling, is just what the name says; it is business that occurs between two businesses. In the real world Business-to-Business selling (or B2B for short) is far different than Business-to-Consumer selling or B2C. In B2C the transactions are relatively quick compared to the long-term personal relationships that are involved in B2B selling. B2B introduces additional complexity into the scene because you are selling, not to a consumer, but to a corporate client. This type of customer is unique – the individual who’s buying the product/service will not personally be using it. And while the client has personal taste that guides them along the purchasing process, ultimately they represent the needs of an entire business. The B2B client acts not only upon the needs and likes of their own, but also upon the requests and directions of the executives, marketing, and sales staff of her/his company. So when the client considers making a pur-
Read
chase, they of course want to like it personally. However, they commit to buy the product/ service primarily to satisfy the needs and wants of their target customer and depend heavily on what management and the marketing staff will feel is marketable. The client’s main consideration is that the product/ service will be a benefit for the business. The B2B salesperson that “brings in the business” is highly regarded by management. Such a successful B2B seller is not considered “overhead” but rather, for management, that salesperson is a walking “cash register.” Bringing in the business is the key to the future of the business and therefore those salespeople who can get new accounts and expand the business are often assigned to bigger accounts or given larger territories and many times promoted to managerial positions. In terms of job security, the successful B2B salesperson develops strong business relationships with key clients, and as a result gains a
high degree of indispensability. Management doesn’t want to lose key customers. However, no matter how many clients you have, being reliable and honest are two requirements to keeping one’s job. Becoming a successful B2B salesperson can lead to management positions. In B2B selling, the seller has fewer clients and fewer transactions; therefore it opens the door for the seller to spend longer periods of time with the client, thus making it not only feasible but also necessary to establish a long-term relationship with them. We find that in many cases both client and seller are personally involved in the building of the business relationship. More time is spent in solving problems and reaching objective and goals. B2B selling is the platform for something that requires old-fashioned personal selling. By “old-fashioned” personal selling – which applies in retail sales in many cases as well – we actually mean the timetested fundamentals of
personal selling, which never change: • Acting with integrity at all times • Maintaining a positive attitude • Developing a friendly relationship with the client (but not the slapon-the back kind!) • Genuinely liking people, or what we call being a people person Relating to a diversified audience • Developing a partnership with the buyer • Keeping focused that each transaction has to be to the mutual benefit of the both seller and client • Keeping a deep interest in developing profits for the client’s company • Being knowledgeable about your service/ product as well as the client’s business. We have an increasingly global market and B2B selling has an important role in it. Excerpts from the book, The Real World Guide to Fashion Selling & Management, Gerald J. Sherman & Sar S.

ENTERTAINMENT By Skip Sheffield
Growing Up in the South with ‘The Help’ “The Help” is a wonderful movie based on Kathryn Stockett’s wonderful 2009 novel, which in turn was inspired by Stockett’s real-life childhood in Mississippi. The film is directed by Tate Taylor, a childhood friend of Stockett’s, in his directorial debut. For white people of a certain affluence, everyone had “help,” or domestic maids, almost all of them African-American. In Mississippi in the early 1960s this meant there were certain rules; humiliating aspects of segregation, such as making the help use an outhouse instead of a regular bathroom and making them eat in the kitchen instead of the dining room. Maid uniforms were mandatory. Kathryn Stockett was born in 1969 and raised in Jackson MS, which is the model for the book and movie’s town. In interviews she has freely admitted she was inspired to write the book in tribute to the maids who raised her and to assuage her guilt about treating them as second-class citizens. Indeed one of the main characters so closely resembles a real-life maid she has sued Stockett for damages. The main character of Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan (Emma Stone) is clearly the alter ego of the author. Like Stockett she graduated from college with an English degree and aspired to a writing career

rather than early marriage and motherhood. This makes Skeeter a bit of a rebel in her conservative home town, and making her even more of a maverick is the fact that she understands and sympathizes with “The Help.” Skeeter’s family maid, Abileen Clark (Viola Davis), is a third-generation maid and a classic example of a woman who “knows her place.” In sharp contrast with Abileen is Mindy Jackson (Octavia Spencer), a maid who is not afraid to speak her mind and quick to anger at injustice. As a result she has been fired a number of times for what was then called being an “uppity Negro.” The Southern Belle stereotype is fulfilled by Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard), the socially-conscious, haughty queen bee of local society. At the other end of the social spectrum is Celia Foote (Jessica Chastain), the pretty but brassy bleached blond who has snagged the town’s most handsome and eligible bachelor, Johnny Foote (Mike Vogel). Stockett’s characters may be stock types, but they are remarkably trueto-life, and played with conviction by the topnotch cast. Emma Stone is an amazing combination of beauty and brains as an actress, and when her char-
Viola Davis, left, and Octavia Spencer in “The Help”
acter decides to interview the town’s maids to get their stories in their own words, we really believe it. Octavia Spencer is a little-known young actress, but she breathes fire as Mindy. Oscar-nominated Viola Davis by contrast is an old hand at playing women of quiet power and determination. “The Help” is more a woman’s film than a man’s, but I couldn’t help but think back to the women who served as our maids when my mother struggled with raising five kids with a side career as fashion model. We are not in the Deep South and segregation is not rigidly enforced, but this is a lovely tribute to the women who endured. “Six Years” Opens At Caldwell Theatre Back in highbrow territory, we have the powerful and poignant “Six Years” opening Friday, Aug. 12 at Caldwell Theatre Compa-
ny. Written by Shar White, the play traces the life of a World War II veteran and his wife through 24 years in six installments starting in 1949 through 1973.

LET’S TALK LIFE & STYLE By Kay Renz
Helping Our Soldiers’ Families Stay Fit The tragic loss of our wonderful Navy SEALS in last week's helicopter crash really brought to light, once again, just how many families are coping with the constant stress and worry of having a loved one serve our country. We all know what stress can do to our health. So I was very pleased to see that Michael's Body Scenes is offering complimentary memberships to immediate family members of deployed Reservists and National Guard. Michael and Fito Papamichael, owners of Michael's Body Scenes, have long served our community by supporting an innumerable array of charities and causes. Their dedication during these past 23 years has garnered them many accolades, but their desire to help others comes from their genuine gratitude for all that they have achieved. When they heard about the initiative for the soldiers' families they immediately became involved. Michael's is now a proud member of the IHRSA Joining Forces Network, which supports First Lady Michelle Obama’s Joining Forces and Let’s Move! initiatives. The IHRSA Joining Forces Network, an affiliation of health clubs offering free memberships to the immediate family members of actively deployed Reservists and National Guard members throughout the country, successfully merges the active lifestyle goals of Let’s Move! with the desire to
provide support and services to military families through Joining Forces. The IHRSA Joining Forces Network was introduced on May 9th by Mrs. Obama at a health and wellness event for military families on the south lawn of the White House. "Michael's Body Scenes is honored to be a participating member of The IHRSA Joining Forces Network and is excited to begin supporting the needs of these military families” says Mary Ann MorganFried, marketing director of Michael’s Body Scenes. “Our staff is so proud to be able to give back to the families of these courageous Americans in such a unique and beneficial way." Immediate family members of currently deployed Reservists and National Guard from the Boca Raton community are invited to begin their complimentary 6-month membership. A membership at Michael's Body Scenes includes full use of the facility, group exercise classes, childcare, and orientations. “Under the guidance of our trained professionals, these families will receive great healthy lifestyle advice and training in a supportive environment. Our entire staff is energized and excited to extend our services to these families. We can only imagine how stressful it must be to have a loved one so far from home, so we are honored to help with their health, happiness and stress-relief in the ways we know best.” said Morgan-Fried.

He has done three tours in support of the Iraq war and will be shipping off to Afghanistan in the next few weeks. His parents are Craig and Cindy Sherman of Deerfield Beach.
Fried also noted that Michael’s Body Scenes is particularly excited about the opportunity that these free memberships will provide for the teen-aged children of deployed Reservists and National Guard members, who will now have access to a supportive health club environment where they can learn about and implement a physically active lifestyle. Age restrictions may apply. For more information, please call Mary Ann at 561-750-7945.

. . . g o D h c t a W r e m o t s u C The RadioShack on 441 and Palmetto Park Road get a THUMBS DOWN this week. A customer walks into the store to return merchandise that he had bought. The Manager of the store said that the customer could not return the merchandise because he didn’t have a receipt. The manager made the argument that maybe the customer stole the item from the store and was now trying to get money for stolen goods… This is no way to treat a customer! The manager said it was “Company Policy” and he wouldn’t not make the return for the product… THUMBS DOWN. The RadioShack on TownCenter Mall gets a THUMBS UP this week. The same customer went to the store at the TownCenter Mall to make the same exact return. This time, the manager at the TownCenter branch simply looked at him and said “No problem sir, I’ll get that fixed for you right away”. The manager returned the customer his money and the customer left the store happy. RadioShack on TownCenter mall gets a THUMBS UP. Have you had problems with you cable provider this past week?

FAITH
DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE
By Pr. Sandy Huntsman
By Mike Gora
“ The Wonders of the Universe” Astronomy is the branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. As is true with the other sciences, Scriptures make numerous statements about the heavens and when compared to many modern scientific discoveries, have proven to be amazingly accurate. 1. Size of the universe “Eighty years ago, we thought the entire universe consisted of what we now know as the Milky Way galaxy. In reality, our galaxy is just one of hundreds of billions of others. Space is extremely vast. Each galaxy is home to around 200 billion stars. This is more stars than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of planet Earth. Our Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light years. If you could take a flashlight and beam it across the galaxy, it would take the light 100,000 years to reach the other side.” (http:channel. nationalgeographic.com/ series/known-universe/all/ size- matters-facts) The Bible indicates in several places that the universe has been “stretched out” or expanded. Isaiah 40:22 teaches that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent. This would suggest that the universe has actually increased in size since its creation. God is stretching it out, causing it to expand. Clearly this verse was not consistent with the thinking of the time. The
universe certainly doesn’t look as if it is expanding. After all, if you look at the night sky tonight, it will appear about the same size as it did the previous night, and the night before that. In fact, secular scientists once believed that the universe was eternal and unchanging. The idea of an expanding universe would have been considered nonsense to most scientists of the past. Most astronomers today believe that the universe is indeed expanding. In the 1920s, astronomers discovered that virtually all clusters of galaxies appear to be moving away from all other clusters indicating an ever expanding universe. “Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are? (Job 22.12) “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath...” (Jeremiah 31.37) It is fascinating that the Bible recorded the idea of an expanding universe thousands of years before secular science came to accept the idea. 2. Number of stars Man has always tried to number the stars. In the past, scientist limited to what they could see with the naked eye, numbered them in the thousands. With the advent of the telescope that number was modified to the millions. According to an article by Seth Borenstein in the
Huffington Post, “the universe may glitter with far more stars than even Carl Sagan imagined when he rhapsodized about billions upon billions. A new study suggests there are a mindblowing 300 sextillion of them, or three times as many as scientists previously calculated. That is a 3 followed by 23 zeros. Or 3 trillion times 100 billion.” Speaking at the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union meeting in Sydney, Dr Simon Driver said “the actual number of stars could be infinite.”(articles.cnn. com/2003-07-22) Throughout scripture the inability to number the stars is directly stated or implied: “As the host of heaven cannot be numbered...” (Jeremiah 33.22) “As the stars of the heaven...” Gen. 22.17 1. Variety of stars “There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.” (1 Corinthians 15.41) While this verse primarily speaks to the luminosity of the various stars, clearly diversity is implied. It has not been until the recent pass-by of various satellites probes that we have been able to peer into the atmosphere and observe the diversity of the various planets and stars.

A legal ‘gotcha’ You probably do not know that in about 85 percent of all divorces litigated in Florida, at least one party is not represented by an attorney. Many of these cases are between two people who have had no children together, have been married a short time, and have little income and no marital assets. On the other hand, many of the cases in which no attorneys are involved do involve children. In those cases, the judge’s know that they must help the couple come up with a written parenting plan during the case. This is the document in which the couple agrees, or the judge orders, the amount of overnights with the child that each parent will have, and divide holidays, school breaks and summer vacations. When that plan is completed and decisions are made about child support and property issues, a final judgment will be entered by the court setting out all of the court’s findings and decisions, or adopt an agreement that the couple has come up with without the help of counsel. At that time, it is doubtful that the couple knows that neither of them can move to another state or
far from the other in Florida with their children, without filing a petition with the court to allow the move and follow that petition to a final judgment allowing the move. The petition can be defeated in court if the judge finds that moving is not in the best interests of the child or children. It is likely that neither the mother nor the father, who has not been represented by counsel, and does not have a law degree, knows that they cannot move without the court’s permission. The requirement to apply to a judge for permission to move back to one’s home town, to be closer to a parent or brother or sister, friends or for a job is not waived by the other parent through a failure to pay child support or even a failure to take advantage of one parent’s “visitation” or access rights to their child or children for many years. There is a statute which allows a custodial parent to end the other parent’s rights in a case where the missing parent abandons the child but that case statute takes a high level of proof and proof that there is no remedy other then ending parental rights
available. The typical person who gets divorced without counsel has never heard of the availability of that statute either. There is no statute or Florida Rule of Judicial Administration which requires the judge or the clerk of the court to notify everyone who gets divorced about the requirements which must proceed moving away with your children without getting the court’s permission. To make matters worse there is a significant prejudice against the party who makes such an unauthorized move when the other parent files a claim to have the other parent return to Florida or South Florida with the child or children. Even though the parent who left had no idea of his or her obligation to get court permission before they moved to be with family, or a new husband or wife, or job, it is held against them, which clearly seems a bit unfair. Perhaps the court clerk should be required to point this rule out to every person who files a divorce case or gets served with a divorce case with notice of this law when the case begins and when the case ends.

Doc specializing in chronic childhood conditions joins Sanctuary Medical BOCA RATON -Scott A. Becker, M.D., a pediatrician with more than 20 years of experience practicing medicine in South Florida, has joined Sanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center. Dr. Becker’s new practice will focus on treating difficult, chronic conditions in children, including childhood obesity, attention deficit disorder, gluten sensitivity and related issues such as adrenal and chronic fatigue, and nutritional deficiencies. “Our new practice will work on addressing more than just the symptoms
that a child may be exhibiting,” Dr. Becker said. “We take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach in trying to find the underlying cause to the conditions that the child and family may be struggling with, and identify ways to address them.” Dr. Becker has extensive experience as an emergency room pediatric physician, working at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Baptist Children’s Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital. In addition, Dr. Becker led one of the area’s largest small-group private
pediatric and adolescent medical practices. “Dr. Becker’s philosophy and approach fits well with Sanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center,” said Jason Pozner, M.D., the center’s co-founder and medical director. “We focus on treating the whole person, and if necessary, the entire family to try and solve medical conditions.” Dr. Becker earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Miami. He continued his training as an intern and pediatric resident at Jackson Memorial Hospital. He’s certi-
fied by and is a fellow of the American Board of Pediatrics, and he’s board certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Again, we will be covering the following schools: Boca Raton High School, West Boca High School, Olympic Heights High School, Spanish River High School, St. Andrew’s School, and Pope John Paul II High School. New this year is the reclassification the FHSAA did for each sport, meaning that each high school is in a new district than years before.

By: Jim McLellan "Sam don't know a damn thing about hitting a golf ball".....oh yeah, who says? What gives this guy the right to say such a thing about a fellow golfer? If he is so smart wouldn't he say "Sam doesn't know anything about hitting a golf ball?" This guy can't be very bright and he is certainly no gentleman. What about Sam? Does he know anything about hitting a golf ball? If this guy says he doesn't and he is right..... shouldn't we assume that he is propably not very good at it? Makes perfect sense to me!

Real estate millionaires know a lot about real estate. Stock market millionaires are experts on the stock market. Chess masters have an awesome inventory of chess moves. Experts in general know a ton about their field. So if one doesn't know a damn thing about what he is doing, he can't do it very well. Should we agree then that the more we know about a subject the better we will do? The kid in class who looks like Bill Gates, and studies a lot - gets A's this applies to school, and investments, and generally everything? Everything? Sure everything!

Cardinal Newman (West Palm Beach) King's Academy (West Palm Beach) Pahokee Pope John Paul II St. Andrews High School University School (Davie) These are the new districts that each Boca Raton school is in. As you can see, the class they are put in
goes by school population. There are 8 classes in Florida now: 8A, 7A, 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A Urban and 1A Rural. Each class has their own state champion. The class is later broken down into regions, and finally into a district. Boca Raton Power Rankings: 1. West Boca
These are PRESEASON power rankings for the schools. The rankings reflect last year’s performance, their spring game, and what is predicted from them for this upcoming season. These are all preseason rankings and will change throughout the season. This is simply an overview, compared to the more in depth coverage we will provide for each school before their preseason kickoff. Player to watch: Keith Byars II
Poor Sam Let's apply this brilliant radical information to golf. The more we know about "IT" the better we should do. After all, nearly every waking moment is spent thinking. How should I do my job. How do I get to work. How do I pay my bills. What is 3+3..... heady stuff like that.... If "Sam don't know a damn thing about hitting a golf ball" . . . . that's got to be his problem. Some know- it-all said he doesn't. He has to be a lousy golfer. No information = failure. Did you ever take a test where you didn't know anything about the subject matter? Let's see your report
card, Einstein. There is someone who has the answers, by Willikers. You guessed it! The all mighty golf pro . Golf professional: one who knows a lot about golf. More information, more thinking, better golf....duh! Why didn't I think about this before I went out and made a fool out of myself ? Golf professionals charge $50 or $75 or $100 for a golf lesson. Must be worth it! Just think about how good I will be after a series of 6 lessons. Awesome, Dude. I hit the cookie jar and head for the course. Wow, there's the golf pro. He's a lot arrogant and treats
me like an idiot.....but heck, maybe I am. I take the lessons. He informs me of ALL the moving parts. He gives me a lot to think about. The secret to golf, at last. Lots of information + lots to think about = success at golf. This has to work.. Look out nerd, I'm going to kick your butt. Woops, I forgot to complete the sentence I started in paragraph one. Anybody interested? Here, good Buddy, is the rest of it.....See if you can apply what you are about to read to your game, S'il Vous Plait: "Sam don't know a damn thing about hitting a golf ball,
Keith Byars II is by far the top player in the area. This running back for Boca Raton High School is son of former NFL player Keith Byars. Byars II is currently a sleeper on the recruiting trail at the running back position. He's a well-rounded back with good size and body structure. Has good speed, not elite but can quickly burst into the second level of the defense for a big gainer. Keith Byars II is considering between these colleges all before his senior year has even started: Memphis Tigers, Florida International Golden Panthers, and Western Michigan Broncos. Stay tuned in the following weeks to continue to get coverage of high school football.
but he does it better than anybody else". The quote came from Ben Hogan during a conversation with Cary Middlecoff. They were watching the finest golf swing of all time. You guessed it, none other than Samuel Jackson Snead. Poor Sam.....Didn't know a damn thing about what he was doing! So what if he won 87 PGA golf tournaments....more than anyone in the history of golf. How well do YOU think Sam would have done had he thought about his swing like You do?

MagicJack fall to Marta and the New York Flash Despite Strong Support from the Crowd By: Pedro Heizer The magicJack hosted the Western New York Flash on Wednesday night in one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the WPS season. The stars were certainly out with players like Abby Wombach, Christie Rampone, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, and five-time FIFA Player of the Year, Marta, all at hand playing the best that women’s soccer could offer, and they didn’t disappoint. A total of 17 players from both teams participated in the World Cup this summer in Germany (the magicJack had nine and the Flash had eight), this was definitely the marquee matchup everyone was waiting for. “It was definitely one of the best games I have ever played in [Women’s Professional Soccer],” said Flash forward Alex Morgan. “It doesn’t get any better than this.” Before the ball even hit the field, the game was already sold out, over 4,011 fans flocked the FAU Soccer Stadium in Boca Raton to watch their heroes play. The 4,011 fans was a new attendance record for a Women’s Professional Soccer match in Palm Beach County. “It was a great opportunity for women’s soccer, to have all these fan out here not only supporting the magicjack but also supporting us, it’s a very humbling experience”
said Marta after the game. Before the World Cup, the magicJack had trouble getting 1,000 people to come watch their games, but ever since “World Cup Fever” it has been a different story. “It’s definitely been like night and day when it comes to how many people were here before [the World Cup] and now,” explained USWNT hero and magicJack goalkeeper Hope Solo. “You will have all your bandwagon fans, but if from all those bandwagon fans we get five or maybe even 10 real fans, we will be in good shape.” The game itself was a pretty good one, the Flash scored in the 64th courtesy of Marta. The Brazilian striker’s first goal came off a counterattack with her blasting through the magicJack defense. “In the first half we didn’t play our style of soccer,” said the fivetime FIFA World Player of the Year “but then in
the second half, something clicked and we started playing the game we are all accustomed to playing.” Despite having 16 shots on goal, the magicJack were able to only score once on a goal by Sophie Schmidt from a beautiful assist from Christie Rampone. The second goal also came courtesy of Marta, “We have a set play for short corners where I usually try to hit the ball off a player for it to go in, but this time that didn’t happen and I was fortunate enough to get the ball back on my foot and I scored” Marta explained. The magicJack play the Philadelphia Independence on Sunday at 4pm at the FAU Soccer Field, and the magicJack will host their first ever playoff game on Wednesday as they will host the number four seed in the WPS Playoffs.

Strikers Defeat League Leading RailHawks
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers upset the league leading Carolina RailHawks on Saturday in a 2-1 thrilling victory in front of 3,109 fans at Lockhart Stadium. The strikers came motivated to this game, they wanted to prove that they could beat the best team in the league and they accomplished just that with their 2-1 victory. “I think this game says we’re going to be a team to be reckoned with,” said Shore. “We had a two game homestand, and we had to have six points. It helps with our confidence to go out and get results on the road.” The Strikers got on the board early in the 38th minute with a sensational goal by Walter Restrepo who
scored from 30 yards in to the upper left corner of the net. This was Restrepo’s first goal of the season in only his second start of the season. Fort Lauderdale held the best team in the league in check during the entire 1st half, in fact, the last time that the Carolina RailHawks trailed at the half was on April 9th. The Strikers were not only playing against the RailHawks in this game, but also against the referees who kept his whistle quite when RailHawks players would foul but would blow them as soon as a Striker would do something to them. The Strikers had a total of six yellow cards compared to the mere one Carolina received, “I think those were bad decisions
by the guy in green. I think he [the referee] was inconsistent” said Coach Shore about the referee situation. Forward Abe Thompson was shown the red card in the 66th minute for a foul that did not look like nothing but a routine push, “The RailHawks could foul us all they wanted and as soon as we touched them the ref would give us a yellow card” added Coach Shore The RailHawks tied the game at one in the 72nd minute with a goal by John Krause on a rebound after a Matt Glaeser save. Then, in stoppage time the smallest player on the field came up big yet again, Martin Nunez (5’6) scored the game-winning goal after coming in the game in the last 10 minutes. “Martin is frustrated because he's not starting," coach Shore
said. "For him to come in the final 10 minutes and make a difference is huge." “I came with a lot of energy off the bench, had 10
minutes to play and made the most of my time and was blessed to be able to score the game winning goal” said Nunez of his goal.
With the win, the Strikers are now one point behind 5th place FC Edmonton and four points behind third place Minnesota.

By Orlando Greenwald
Looking at my calendar, I’m surprised to see school is only two weeks away. I have two week till I start my senior year in high school. The time has passed by fast. Just thinking about the past three years, I have a quick flashback on how important sports have been through theyears. From being in the bleachers watching to actually participating in sports, to now being onthe field and covering the games, sports have been a big part of the past three years, and will continue to be this coming year. Two weeks till school starts, which can only mean one thing; Football is right around the corner. As promised, the football preview for our local Boca Raton area will be

“Sam don’t know a damn thing about hitting a golf ball”..... oh yeah, who says? What gives this guy the right to say such a thing about a fellow golfer? If he is so smart wouldn’t he say “Sam doesn’t know anything about hitting a golf ball?” This guy can’t be very bright and he is certainly no gentleman.
