‘Go Pink’ luncheon draws nearly 1,500 to support fight against breast cancer Story, photos by Dale M. King BOCA RATON – A sea of pink – ribbons, dresses, suits and jackets – stretched out across the Mizner Center at the Boca Raton Resort and Club Oct. 28, uniting nearly 1,500 people in a common battle against breast cancer. The “Go Pink in the City” theme was complemented by the special guest appearance of Kristin Davis, a star of “Sex and the City” on TV and in films. Also addressing the crowd was Dr. Louise Morrell, medical director of the Christine E. Lynn Women's Health and Wellness Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. She talked about advances in breast cancer treatment, but also noted that the Number 1 killer of women is lung
cancer. She said the institute is about to launch a new initiative for lung cancer to reduce mortality. “This is not us and you, it is just us. Cancer affects all of us,” said Morrell. “This year, it has affected many of our colleagues and friends.” She said her 56-year-old cousin from the Chicago area – an athlete who “did all she was supposed to do” to avoid cancer, but contracted it anyway. Morrell told of her cousin’s long, arduous task of traveling around and waiting weeks at a time for treatment from specialists. It took from January to October of 2011 to complete it. At Boca’s cancer institute, Morrell said, all specialists – “our team” -- are under one roof, and the

task could have been completed much sooner. Time is of the essence, she said, when battling cancer. Morrell urged women to live by the 4Ps: Preemptive, Proactive, Personalized and Partners. A short film on the state of the art facility offered emotional testimonials from those treated at the
center and recovering from the dreadful disease. Davis offered her own personal story of how she did not her first mammogram until she was in her early 40s. She was prompted to do so by the case of another actress from “Sex and the City,” Cynthia Nixon, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006,
In the crowd at the “Go Pink in the City” event were Linda Spielmann, a breast cancer survivor, and Kelly Smallridge, head of the Palm Beach County Business Development Board. but held it secret. Nixon has since been cured. “I went to New York and had a mammogram,” said Davis. “The next day I got a call to come back. There was something unusual about it.” After several biopsies and an ultrasound, it was found to be calcium deposits. “This brings home the
idea that you can’t take things for granted. We need to get mammograms,” Davis added. “We can all support each other. There are so many advances going on – and the Lynn Cancer Institute is at the forefront of these advances. They come from the support of all of you, today and tomorrow.”
Environment volunteers donate 1,000 hours to keep county clean Volunteers with the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) were very busy over the summer. From July 1 through Sept. 30, they donated more than 1,000 labor hours to help improve Palm Beach County’s environment. Nearly 400 volunteers
worked on 17 habitat restoration projects in countyowned natural areas and restoration areas. They removed 9,930 pounds of trash and invasive exotic vegetation from wooded areas and scrublands, and along the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Lagoon. The trash varied from ski goggles and a tri-
cycle to pink bath tile and car parts. Volunteers also planted 11,360 native grasses and flowers around a habitat restoration project at Pondhawk Natural Area in Boca Raton. Volunteers installed 700 feet of fencing at Seacrest Scrub Natural Area in Boynton Beach to prevent gopher tortoises from leaving the
property and venturing onto adjacent roadways. They collected thousands of red mangrove seeds for use in 2012 wetland restoration projects in the Lake Worth Lagoon. For more information on joining ERM’s volunteer program, please visit the department’s website at www.pbcgov.com/erm.
Volunteers removed 1,380 pounds of trash from Juno Dunes Natural Area on July 16.

Posthumous exhibit of Claire V. Dorst’s artwork at Sugar Sand Park BOCA RATON -- A posthumous retrospective exhibit of the art of Claire V. Dorst (1922-2011) is showing through November 28 at the Sugar Sand Park Community Claire Dorst was a practicing artist for 60 years and taught painting from the elementary school to university level throughout that time. He was chairman of the Art Department of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton for 20 years and was granted Professor Emeritus status upon his retirement
in 1990. In addition, he taught private classes in watercolor at the Boca Raton Museum of Art School, the Tequesta Lighthouse Gallery, the Armory Art School and at Sugar Sand Park. The exhibit will cover the entire span of his career, from student work to his first experiment with abstract expressionism in oil through his mature explorations of textures in acrylic to his most recent watercolor efforts. The works range from pure geometric abstraction to realistic figurative depic-
tions. Also, Boca Raton artist Ana M. Viola-Prioli will present Bracts and Woods. This exhibition will feature hand carved wooden sculptures, as well as original works created from palm tree bracts, a modified leaf protecting the inflorescence of a plant, which in the case of a palm tree can be up to four feet long. Viola-Prioli has been working with this element for the past year, playing with its natural shape and texture that inspire and guide her paintings on it.

Andy Rooney: A newman’s newsman Sunday nights are going to be a bit lonelier at our home. Andy Rooney, the crusty, grandfatherly icon of the broadcast airwaves and fixture on the CBS news program, “60 Minutes” for as many years as I can remember, has died at the age of 92. “60 Minutes” has been “must” watch at my home since I lived with my parents. For me, a young news reporter at the time, the program was – and always has been – a showcase for seasoned journalists – from Mike Wallace to Harry Reasoner, Lesly Stahl to Ed Bradley. And then there was Andy Rooney, always pulling up the rear of the program, offering some offthe-wall comments about some of the absurdities of our crazy world. This crazy world offered many – and Andy picked off quite a few. As I watched Andy Rooney over the years, I came to appreciate the man’s knowledge – and the steps he took to hone his craft. You see, being a professional journalist is something I have literally devoted my life to. I am proud of my career, and it hurts to see newspapers falling by the wayside as
people turn to electronic devices – first radios, then TV, then computers and now hand-held devices, to get their news. To me, it takes a certain kind of person instilled with a certain level of training to be a good journalist. I know Andy Rooney had it. Over the years, I learned a lot about Rooney. He launched his long career during World War II as a correspondent for the Stars and Stripes military newspaper. Rooney continue to work on his skills, fashioning a sharp, barb-like wit that skewered many a pompous individual over the years. Andy wrapped up 33 years of his opinionated stay on “60 Minutes” barely a month ago when he delivered his final “A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney.” He died at a New York City hospital last Friday of complications following minor surgery, according to CBS. I feel a certain closeness to Andy Rooney, not simply because we shared a similar vocation. I remember working for the newspaper in Pawtucket, R.I. at the same time Andy’s son, Brian, was a reporter at the nearby Providence Journal-Bulletin. I
don’t know if our paths ever crossed, but it seemed to give the Rhode Island journalistic arena a boost to have the progeny of a famous newsman in our midst. Andy Rooney eschewed fame. He grumbled that if anyone saw him in a restaurant, they should just stay away from him and let him eat his dinner. Besides that, Andy Rooney seemed like one of us, a humble man just trying to earn a living by offering editorial comments – like many of us who have toiled at writing editorials. I just don’t get that same feeling about such news folks as Anderson Cooper or that untouchable ilk. For millions of Americans, Andy was a welcome visitor into their homes on Sunday evenings, an old familiar face appearing for a few minutes at the tail end of one of the most highly rated programs in television history. Viewers of the TV newsmagazine who saw him as a friend, neighbor or relative knew what to expect from the man who offered his opinions on a broad array of topics. Wry. Curmudgeonly. Whimsical. An articulate Everyman. Unruffled yet quizzical. A crank. A

complainer. The man of a thousand questions. Those are just some of the words journalists have used to describe the man TV Guide called "America's favorite grump,” according to the Los Angeles Times. Rooney was one of those well-school journalists who set the standard for those of us who have tried to uphold the honor of that trade. There is nothing more sickening to me – or to Andy, I’m sure – than watching those many, many, journalistic wannabes who use the scandalous and salacious to earn their livings. Imagine real news on such networks as E or MTV. No way. Andy, you were one of a kind. There will never be another one like you.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER By Douglas Heizer
America devotes much honor, reverence and pride to its veterans With Veterans Day coming up Friday, I can’t help thinking of the honor and pride that Americans take in those who fought for this nation – and particularly for those who made the supreme sacrifice and gave their lives for our freedom. You see, my native country, Brazil, has not been involved in many contemporary wars. The Brazilian Army did fight along side American soldiers in Italy during World War II. But that is the only conflict they have taken part in lately. My father-in-law was a soldier during World War II, and when he came to visit the family and me here in the United States, he was amazed at all the monuments that America has built to honor soldiers. There are many just here in the Boca Raton area, but so many stand – and continue to be built – in every other state. The nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., seems to have the most war and veterans memorials. My father-in-law was a little stunned. Back in Brazil, there is really only one monument honoring soldiers, and that one stands in Rio de Janeiro. I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a country with only a minimal wartime history would not give a lot of space to the exploits of its soldiers. Since arriving here, I have come to realize
Veterans memorial in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil the tremendous effort the United States has made – and continues to make -on the fields of battle. Veterans Day, I have come to find out, marked the end of World War I, a conflict once referred to as “the Great War” and “the war to end all wars.” The armistice that concluded World War I was signed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Coincidentally, this year’s observance of Veterans Day will take place on the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year in the 21st century. Perhaps because of this oddity, we will spend a little more time remembering the sacrifice of soldiers, from the Revolution through the War of 1812, the War Between the States, the two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam and the Afghanistan/Iraq War. In Brazil, there is no day to honor soldiers. There are few soldiers to honor. I doubt if many of the young men and women in Brazil even realize the Army took part in a ma-
jor war in the midst of the 20th century. And if they do, does it matter to them? It certainly matters to all Americans, young and old. The United States has been the nation that stepped in to help bring wars to a close. It has provided provisions to its own troops and to those of other nations. And just 10 years ago, the United States suffered through a horrible terror attack that has touched everyone in this nation, whether they are native born or not. We all pray for peace, even though we remain prepared for war. There are nations on this planet that we know would like to see the U.S. come to its knees. Still, we pray for peace. For a sustained peace would mean that monuments, statues and other memorial markers would not be needed. Perhaps one great celebratory monument would be sufficient to honor a period of ongoing peace. That is one idea that all nations should support.
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
The Value of Interdependence Perhaps a most colorful illustration of inter-dependence, is that of a body and its many parts. It vividly shows that all members belong together, and are a significant part of one another for adequate functioning. They cannot operate alone without affecting the rest. Although it is very easy for anyone to understand this issue from this physical perspective, it is often a bit harder to practice that reality in personal interactions. Yet, in the living of our daily lives in any situation, we truly benefit from what some persons may offer us, just as others equally profit from what we may be ready and willing to impart to them. It is very sad when pride, arrogance, impatience, or timidity would keep one from seeking support from others. Some persons fear to ask for anything, wrongfully assuming that it makes them inferior; they prefer to give the appearance of having it all, or of knowing everything. When people come to me for counseling on any
issues I’m capable of helping, I begin the session by praising them for seeking assistance instead of acting on their own impulses, or depending solely on their personal insights. It is always a sign of strength instead of a demonstration of weakness when people are ready to solicit the aid of others, when these others can provide it! I never forget an episode of the TV program Candid Camera, viewed over fifty years ago. It depicted people at a Diner’s counter, drinking their morning coffee. To see how people would react, the program directors had glued the cups to their saucers. Yet, out of several persons sipping their coffee in that strange manner, perhaps only two were bold enough to inquire about that strange situation, or to ask for another cup, detached from its saucer. All others sought no exchange of utensils, even if inconvenienced by that experience. Some people thought it was a new trend, one got disgusted and didn’t finish his drink, a few used their
spoons to imbibe the content from the entire cup, while still others tried in vain to remove the cup from the saucer. But only two, at most, ever asked for help or an explanation! We can avoid unnecessary headaches, we can become better informed, we can learn many new things, if we simply ask those who are around us, to aid us in a variety of situations and circumstances. There should be no fear of being made debtors to others on any issue; neither is our intelligence or power diminished when we raise a question or seek a favor from anyone, whoever he or she may be! Although all humans’ aid ultimately comes from above, may we never miss anything that can be sent our way through others, because of our unfounded sense of superiority, personal arrogance, or any such illegitimate sentiment. Let us also, likewise, be available to others by responding to their needs, or in initiating what may enrich their lives or promote their wellbeing!

‘Jazz Live at MPA’ presents IKO IKO and their ‘Urban Swamp Blues’ sounds BOCA RATON– IKO IKO will hit the stage at the Mizner Park Amphitheater tonight (Nov. 10) at 7:30 p.m. as part of the city of Boca Raton’s “Jazz Live at MPA,” a fall series of free jazz concerts. In addition to the live music, attendees will be able to watch as students of the Boca Museum of Art paint to the beats. Back in 1987, Graham Wood Drout had the idea that bringing extremely
diverse musicians together would create something new that was greater than the sum of its parts. More than 30 years later, his songs, & his band IKO IKO, show that this formula is extremely effective for his signature sound that blends Drout’s own roots in Texas, Brazil, New Jersey & Miami with those of his bandmates. IKO IKO’s music was described as “an eclectic mix
of southern musical traditions” – creating a backbeat-driven powerhouse blend of Blues, Rock, and Gulf Coast Americana, what Drout catagorizes as “Urban Swamp Blues.” The band’s line-up includes Drout on the guitars & vocals; John “Good Rockin’ Johnny” Wenzel - lead guitar; Mitch Mestel – bass & vocals; Ron Taylor – keyboards; Nicole “Nicky” Yarling – fiddle & vocals and
Daniel East – drums. Blankets and chairs are allowed, but chairs will also be available to rent for $20. There is a premium seating area in front of the stage or upstairs in the colonnades, where the chairs are $5. Food truck samplings and a cash bar will be offered on site, and therefore outside food and beverages are prohibited. Free parking in the Mizner Park garages, valet and metered parking also
available. All events are rain or shine, and in the case of inclement weather, the concerts will be presented at the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center’s Studio Theater, located at the south end of Mizner Park (201 Plaza Real). Seating at this venue will be limited to the first 250 people. For more info visit www. mizneramphitheater.com or www.downtownboca.org

Gannon begins collection of $3.07 billion in revenue in Palm Beach County You probably got a little missive from Tax Collector Anne M. Gannon this past week. Gannon announced that 2011 property tax bills were put into the mail Nov. 1. “We mailed 705,964 property tax bills. That represents total tax revenue of 3.07 billion,” said Gannon. “The ad valorem tax, calculated by the property appraiser, represents $2.7 billion in property values. The non ad valorem tax, a flat fee per acre or housing unit, makes up the balance, or $330 million.” The five cities in Palm Beach County paying the most in property taxes are West Palm Beach (assessed value : $11 billion, total taxes:$68 million), Boca Raton (assessed value: $19.3 billion, total taxes: $51.8 million), Delray Beach (assessed value: $7.4 billion, total taxes: $44 million), town of Palm Beach (assessed value: $12.2 billion, total taxes: $38 million) and Riviera Beach (assessed value: $3.7 billion, total taxes: $27 million). Top taxpayers, by amount of tax billed, in Palm Beach County are: Florida Power & Light Co. $57,318,651.50 BellSouth Telecommunications Inc. $7,429,139.61 Town Center at Boca Raton Trust $6,934,462.72 Landry Lawrence L $4,562,021.39 Comcast of Florida $3,666,229.13 Panthers BRHC LTC $3,419.927.79 Florida Power & Light Co. $3,300,159.84 TJ Palm Beach Associates LTD PTRS $2,973,748.95 2700 North Ocean LLC $2,903,013.25 Breakers Palm Beach Inc. $2,708,719.10 HUBB Properties Trust $2,451,555.73 Land Resources Inv Co. $2,389,615.51 Boca Raton CRA Lessor $2,143,728.38 West Palm Beach CRA Lessor $1,967,856.26 Palm Beach Shores Resort $1,893,444.25 Batmasian James H. $1,891,460.61 Evergreen Britannia 013 $1,800,186.06 KBSII CityPlace Tower $1,720,227.01 JFK Medical Center $1,696,029.32 Marriott Ownership Resorts $1,682,187.63
“Approximately 80 percent of taxpayers pay in November. That means they receive the maximum discount of 4 percent for early payment,” said Gannon. “This tax savings can make a difference for families in these difficult economic times.” Gannon said she knows that some financially struggling families lack the resources needed to pay their taxes. A tax payment could be the difference between keeping their home or foreclosure. Florida has a tax deferral option (Florida Statute Chapter 197.2421 and 197.2423) for those with yearly incomes of $10,000 or less. The program only postpones the tax payment. It provides some short term relief. Chapter 197.162, Florida Statutes provides discounts for early payments as follows: • November payments are discounted 4 percent. • December payments are discounted 3 percent • January payments are discounted 2 percent • February payments are discounted 1 percent • March payments receive no discount All payments are due by close of business March 31. Any payment made after April 1 is considered delinquent. Gannon has some advice for taxpayers: Pay property taxes online to avoid waiting in line at busy service centers. The agency recently upgraded its e-Gov Payment System, replacing an antiquated system that lack enhanced features. The website has a “Property Tax Help” feature that includes important information on payments, deadlines, and discounts. Taxpayers may also pay by mail. They must include the property control number(s) on their check and return without staples or clips. Non-compliance results in rejection by the agency’s high speed mail processing. Rejected returns must be processed by hand and take much longer. For taxpayers who prefer visiting a service center, they are encouraged to use drop boxes for payments. A drop box is located at each Tax Collector Service Center. Property tax payments will be accepted at the Lantana office.

Dr. Anthony Pannozzo Cares about You, Not Your Money By: Pedro Heizer Dr. Anthony Pannozzo of the Pannozzo Institute has been one of the few doctors I’ve been to that encourage you not to take the surgical route, “Surgery is always a failure of treatment,” says Dr. Pannozzo; it’s kind of like his mantra. Three years ago, I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL for short) and the first thing the doctors told me to do is have surgery to fix the tear. “ACL’s are over diagnosed,” explained Dr. Pannozzo. “I don’t really understand what they are doing when they do an ACL Surgery because the ACL is really out of reach.” ACL surgery is one of the top ten most common surgeries in the United States according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. “It’s all about understanding the anatomy of how’s it’s made,” says Dr. Pannozzo about the knee. “If the front of your knee hurts, it’s a hip problem, not a knee one.” Since my surgery, I’ve never felt the same. My knee would always hurt when I walked, when I walked up steps, you name it. I couldn’t do much of anything because my knee would start to hurt after a while. But thanks to Dr. Pannozzo that is now a thing of the past. Dr. Pannozzo’ s diagnostics skills can be compared to the ones by Dr. House of the FOX hit TV series House M.D. As I walked in to see Dr. Pannozzo, I sat in the chair as we talked about
what was wrong. “Does it hurt here?” he would ask, “How about now? Do you feel that?” after repeatedly saying “no”, Dr. Pannozzo looked at me and said, “Your knee is in perfect condition, there is nothing wrong with it.” Dr. Pannozzo then asked me to stand up and bend backwards and asked if it hurt, it did. He just grinned at me and asked me to come with him to the x-ray room. After my x-rays were taken we saw what the real problem was. My right leg is shorter than my left and it was putting a lot of pressure on my right knee and that’s what the pain in my knee was. “It’s all about understanding the anatomy of how it’s made and how it’s supposed to work,” Dr. Pannozzo explained to me; a process that he likes to call “The Physiology of Motion”. “You must understand the physiology of pain,” explained Dr. Pannozzo. “You must know what’s causing the pain; you must understand that before you can treat it.” Dr. Pannozzo gives all his patients a shot of decadron which is a commonly used anti-inflammatory that he uses to help loosen up the tense muscles. In my case, he gave me a shot of decadron in my sacroiliac ligament in my pelvis. The shot alleviated the stress that it was having because of the shorter leg. He also gave me a shot in my lower back where I was feeling a lot of pain because of my shorter leg as well. Aside from the decad-
ron, Dr. Pannozzo gave me an insole to put in my shoes so my hip can be leveled and not lopsided. It’s been almost a month since I’ve been at Dr. Pannozzo’s office and I have not felt any pain in my knee ever since that day. I wear the insoles in my shoes every day and I feel much better. The pain I had in my lower back is also gone thanks to the decadron shots. Dr. Pannozzo is an incredible person and an amazing doctor. He healed me from my injury that had affected me for the past three years and I’m finally able to go out and play basketball once again thanks to his treatment. His treatments are all safe and I highly recommend you give Dr. Anthony Pannozzo a call if you have hip, back or knee pain. His office is located at 16244 South Military Trail Suite 740, in Delray Beach. You can reach him at (561) 3815800, tell him Pedro sent you. Go ahead and try him, you have nothing to lose, only to gain.

Commissioner Aaronson recalls bravery of Army chaplains By Commissioner Burt Aaronson, District 5 On a bitter winter night in 1943, four Army chaplains stood on the deck of the torpedoed and foundering USAT Dorchester, while hundreds of American soldiers around them prepared to slip into the icy depths of the North Atlantic. After they removed their life jackets and gave them to others ,sealing their fates aboard the doomed Army transport vessel, the chaplains – one Catholic, two Protestant and one Jewish – were last seen with their heads bowed in prayer, offering spiritual comfort to the terrified soldiers. At Arlington National Cemetery, monuments honor Catholic, Protestant and World War I chaplains who died on active
duty. On Monday, October 24th, 14 Jewish chaplains who died in service to our country got the recognition that they deserved. It took nearly four years and $50,000 in donations, but the seven-foot granite monument with an attached bronze plaque listing their names was dedicated in a ceremony attended by representatives of the Armed Forces, Congress, the Jewish community and relatives of the fallen chaplains. Prior to October 24th, the plaque was on tour up the east coast to Arlington. I had the privilege of viewing it while it was on display at the Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service’s Weisman Delray Community Center. There was a short program about the monument and the role of Jewish chaplains in the military
that featured Rabbi Sanford Dresin, a retired colonel in the United States Army and Director of Military Programs at the Aleph Institute. Rabbi Dresin served with three of those named on the monument. In sharing my thoughts during the program, I said, “This plaque is long overdue and I hope one day the government will thank the Jewish war veterans by having a stamp issued in their honor.” In the coming weeks, we will be observing Veterans Day and remembering the attack on Pearl Harbor. In a sense, these two days remind us that we are very proud of those who fought and died to keep our country safe and to preserve our freedom. It is fitting that Thanksgiving falls between November 11th and December 7th. As you gather
From left are Shelley Rood, Jewish Federations of North America; Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson; Danielle Hartman, Ruth Rales Jewish Family Services and Rabbi Sanford Dresin. around your Thanksgiving table with your family and friends and give thanks for all that we have, remember all the brave men
and women who served or are serving in our Armed Forces. Remember those four chaplains, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish who
stood together on the deck of the Dorchester praying and bringing a sense of calm and peace to a tragic situation.
County Commission begins redrawing political district boundaries Palm Beach County commissioners have begun discussing how to redraw their political district boundaries as part of a decennial effort to rebalance district populations based on the 2010 Census. County administrators have created four different maps, each with its own set of boundary changes. Option 4 was tentatively selected. The board directed staff to make a few more adjustments and
bring back the item for two required public hearings Commissioners must finalize the boundary changes before the end of the year. At the Nov. 1 meeting, commissioners took the following action: Online sales tax – agreed to support state legislative efforts to collect sales taxes on goods purchased online. Currently, Florida has a “use
tax” on the books, but there is no practical way to enforce collection. Small Business Development Center – reinstated $34,000 that had been cut from the annual contract with Palm Beach State College’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and approved a budget transfer from contingency. Financial policies – discussed and approved general financial policies
as recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association for the FY-2013 budget cycle. SFRTA – adopted a resolution opposing state legislation that eliminates the county’s ability to appoint local citizen members to the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTAS), allows the governor to make appointments from outside the tri-county area, and alters control
and allocation of SFRTA funding Restricted-use properties – approved on preliminary reading and to advertise for public hearing on Nov. 15 an ordinance waiving the annual renewal application requirement for restricteduse properties if such classification has previously been applied for and granted. Roads – discussed and approved on preliminary
reading and to advertise for public hearing on Nov. 15 a series of amendments to the county’s fiveyear road program. Vehicles for hire - approved on preliminary reading and to advertise for public hearing on Nov. 15 an ordinance extending for another six months a moratorium on new vehicle-for-hire companies wishing to do business in Palm Beach County.

Boca Police Safety Tip Q: At what age can I leave my child home alone? A: While Florida statute does not give a specific age, police take several things into consideration when determining whether it is safe for a child to be home alone. The maturity level of the child, duration of time alone, ability to care for him/herself, safety of the home environment, and accessibility to food/water are some of the factors considered. If you feel your child is ready to be left home alone, make sure that he/ she understands an emergency plan you have developed, has access to a phone for dialing 911, and notify a friend, neighbor, or relative of the situation. Crime and safety questions are answered by officers from the Crime Prevention Unit. For more information, visit www.BocaPolice.com.

Boca Police arrest two for allegedly robbing Pizza Hut
BOCA RATON – Police arrested two men Tuesday for allegedly robbing the Pizza Hut at 21342 St. Andrews Boulevard. Officers responded to the robbery report about 1:20 p.m. Police said the victim, a store employee, was alone and had just turned around to face the counter when she saw a male standing with a gun pointed at her. When the suspect demanded the money, the vic-
tim took the cash drawer from the register and set it on the counter. The suspect took the cash from the drawer and walked out. A police report said several witnesses saw the suspect leave the store and walk to the rear of the plaza. Both witnesses noticed the suspect because he was wearing a grey bandana over the lower half of his face. One witness saw the suspect get into the passenger seat of a green Chrys-
ler with a tan convertible top and drive north behind the plaza. Officers in the area located the suspects driving in a nearby residential area. The vehicle was stopped and the driver, Sean Ortagun, 22, and the passenger, Nikko Albanese, 19, were questioned. The victim and witness identified Albanese as the person who robbed the Pizza Hut and was seen running from the store. Of-
ficers checked the property around Ortagun’s house and discovered a firearm near the air conditioning unit. A check on the gun’s serial number revealed it had been stolen in a burglary on October 25th. Police said Albanese and Ortagun are charged with robbery with a firearm, Albanese was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Additional charges may be forthcoming, said police.

Armed burglar steals cash and electronics in Boca BOCA RATON – Local police are investigating the knifepoint theft of cash and jewelry from a home in the Preserve housing development in the 2300 block of NW 49th Lane Nov. 3. Police said officers responded just after 1 p.m. A police report said the victim told officers he heard the doorbell ring twice. He went downstairs
and saw a male, wearing dark clothing and a ski mask. The suspect threatened to stab the victim if he didn’t give him “all the money in the house.” The suspect had his hand in his pocket, which led the victim to believe he had a gun. Police said the victim gave the suspect his wallet, which contained his identification and several hundred dollars in cash,
and his iPhone. The suspect then forced the victim into the kitchen where the suspect armed himself with two kitchen knives. The suspect forced the victim, at knifepoint, to lead him throughout the house looking for valuables. The suspect also took two iPods, a Mac Book laptop, and an iPad before barricading the victim in a bathroom and leaving the house.
The victim was able to escape and run to a neighbor’s house where he called police. The suspect was last seen jumping the north perimeter wall surrounding the development. If anyone has information about this crime, they are asked to call Detective Chris Suarez at (561) 6206146 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS.
“Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month” offers $5 adoptions
November is national Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month and Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control has an abundance of senior pets looking for loving homes. To help celebrate, the shelter will be offering $5 adoptions on all pets age 5 years and older. In ad-
dition, all senior pets adopted from the shelter will receive a voucher for a free rabies shot and county license tag for next year. Giving a second chance to an older pet can be equally, if not more, rewarding than raising a young puppy or kitten. Older pets are usually calmer, quieter,
and require less exercise than their younger counterparts. They are past the stages of chewing shoes, scratching furniture, and having accidents in the house. If you are ready to open your heart and home to a senior pet, visit the shelter at 7100 Belvedere
Road in West Palm Beach, just west of the turnpike. Adoption Hours: Monday – Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call (561) 233-1272 or visit the web site, www. pbcgov.com/animal.

‘They’re altogether ooky, the Addams Family’ at Kravis Center By Skip Sheffield
It was just a few days before Halloween when “The Addams Family” arrived in South Florida. This very strange musical based on a very strange magazine cartoon, then a TV show and movies, is a show that celebrates the kooky, macabre and different. “The Addams Family” has pulled up stakes from its Miami run at the Arsht Center and it is running through Nov. 13 at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. Ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a treat. I read the Charles Addams cartoons in the New Yorker, I saw the television show and the Addams Family movie with the great Raul Julia as family patriarch Gomez, but this stage show, with book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, may be the best incarnation of all. Broadway veterans Douglas Sills and Sara Gettelfinger star as Gomez and Morticia Addams, heads of the household of a moldering old mansion on two acres of land in the middle of Central Park (as if). The offbeat family includes Uncle Fester (Blake Hammond), brother of Gomez; Grandma (Pippa Pearthree), who may or
may not be the mother of Gomez or Morticia; 1 5 - ye a r - o l d We d n e s d a y Addams (Cortney Wolfson), 1 2 - ye a r - o l d Pugsley (Patrick D. Kennedy), and a very tall, deepvoiced butler named Lurch (Tom Corbil). Calling on this odd family is the Beinke family of Ohio. Son Lucas (Brian Justin Crum) has fallen madly in love with We d n e s d a y, and the feeling is mutual. The young couple is so smitten they plan to announce their engagement at a dinner at the Addams manse. Mal Beinke (Martin Vidovic) is a hard-working, no-nonsense businessman. Alice Beinke (Crista Moore) is his lovely, loyalto-a-fault wife. “The Addams Family” is a comedy about a clash of two very different cultures, somewhat reminiscent of “The Rocky Horror Show.” “I love the intoxicating smell of a graveyard”
ENTERTAINMENT
‘Tower Heist’ Another Caper Movie With Big Stars See page 22 “The Addams Family” is playing through Nov. 13 at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. declares Gomez at the outset, after the familiar theme song from the television series is played, with audience finger-snapping along. Wednesday longs for “One Normal Night,” but she is not going to get it. While this is a comedy, it is more importantly a romance- a triple romance actually. First there is the undying love and lust of Gomez for Morticia (wearing a plunging-neckline, gravity-defying black dress). Secondly come the
young lovers. Finally there is strange Uncle Fester and his weird Moon fetish. “The Moon and Me” in Act Two is a Blake Hammond show-stopper. There is no tune catchier than the TV theme song, but the sings are serviceable and played with spirit by a real live orchestra. The three principal women are each outstanding in her own way. The aforementioned Morticia really gets her sexy on in “Tango de Amore.” Cortney Wolfson is a pint-size belter who is quite convincingly “Crazi-
er than you.” The formerly demure Alice does a satisfying about-face in Crista Moore’s capable hands (and body). Yes “The Addams Family” is somewhat bawdy, but never distasteful. The young children in Miami’s audience seemed to enjoy it as much as their parents. A Rodgers & Hammerstein-caliber classic this is not, but rousing, feel-good entertainment it is. Ticket prices start at $25. Call 800-572-8471 or go to www.kravis.org.

BOCA RATON -Florida Atlantic University’s department of theatre in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters presents the Florida premiere of the play “Widows,” by Ariel Dorfman, from Friday, November 11 through Sunday, November 13, in the Studio One Theatre on FAU’s Boca Raton campus. Shows are on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 1 p.m. General admission tickets are $20; FAU students may purchase tickets for $12, and FAU faculty and staff may
purchase tickets for $16. Tickets may be purchased at www.fauevents.com, by calling 800-564-9539 or at the theatre one hour prior to the performance. This play of fiction based on fact takes place during the regime of Augusto Pinochet in Chile from 1970 to 1998. During this time, the government arrested more than 100,000 people as political prisoners and either executed or jailed them in makeshift concentration camps. The play takes place in a small mountain village where all the men have
been taken away, and the women are left to wonder if they will ever see their fathers, husbands and sons again. Dorfman has spent the greater part of his professional career as a voice of condemnation of human rights violations in Chile and in other regions around the world. He was for many years a political exile from his homeland. The play puts a human face on the tragedy that occurred in Chile and tragedies like it that have been repeated throughout history.
Boca Symphonia members to perform at Allegro Society luncheon BOCA RATON -The Second Annual Allegro Society Musical Luncheon, co-chaired by Sung Knowles and Jan Silverman, will be held Friday, November 18th at 11:30 am at the Delray Beach Club, 2001 South Ocean Boulevard in Delray Beach. The Allegro Society is a support group for the Boca Raton Symphonia. Its mission is to create more awareness for the Symphonia and to plan events that contribute to the overall funding of the orchestra, as well as to provide volunteers. The luncheon, priced at $75 per person, was a sellout last year, and is expected to again enjoy capacity attendance. The Allegro Society is hosting a scholarship competition. A $1,500 scholarship for classical instruments and piano will be awarded to
the winner. This year’s scholarship is being underwritten by Edith and Martin Stein. High school students who live in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach were eligible to apply for the scholarship, and the winner will perform at this year’s luncheon. Allegro Society Luncheon Committee members include Edith Stein, Sonya Cremin, Molly Foreman Kozel, Luz Aristizabal, Debbie Sokol, Polly and Ed Wasserman, Ingrid Davis, Mimi Sadler, Joan Gallo, Fran Kaye, Vivian Greene and Suzan Peltzie. “We are very excited about this year’s event,” said Co-Chair Sung Knowles. “Raising money to support musical education and participation is so important, particularly in light of recent cutbacks for arts education.” “This is a great op-
portunity for the public to see members of the Symphonia perform as well,” added Co-Chair Jan Silverman. “Our musicians are highly credentialed, top notch performers. Our guests will truly enjoy their powerful and moving performance.” The Boca Raton Symphonia provides professional classical music in and around the greater Boca Raton community through performances and educational outreach programs featuring nationally and internationally acclaimed conductors and soloists. The Allegro Society was started in November 2009. It has 50 members who actively encourage attendance at Symphonia concerts. For more information, call 866-687-4201 or 866-MUSIC-01 or visit www.bocasymphonia.org.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month Join us this November for Prematurity Awareness Month and honor Florida’s babies
March of Dimes wants you to know that Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait
One in 8 babies is born too soon. An early birthday puts these babies at a high risk of serious health problems and lifelong disabilities. Some are so sick that they never make it home. The March of Dimes has dedicated November to raising awareness of premature birth and mobilizing support so 1 in 8 can one day become none in 8.
Did you know that more and more births are being scheduled a little early for non-medical reasons? Experts are learning that this can cause problems for both mom and baby. If possible, it’s best to stay pregnant for at least 39 weeks. If your pregnancy is healthy, wait for labor to begin on its own.
Your support of Prematurity Awareness Month shows you care about the health of their families. Awareness is the first step to solving the problem of premature birth. Paint the Town Purple
• Wear purple on World Prematurity Day on Thursday, November 17. • Ask your employer to decorate the lobby, light their building, or change the color of the water in the fountain to purple. • Change out your front porch light to a purple bulb. Spread the Word
• Like us on Facebook.com/WorldPrematurityDay and Facebook.com/ MarchofDimesFlorida. • Add a banner to your website or blog and place a March of Dimes ad in your employee or school newsletter – we have several sizes available. • Visit our March of Dimes channel on YouTube and send videos to your friends. Educate Yourself and Others
• Learn why you should wait until 39 weeks if your pregnancy is healthy. • Know the sign and symptoms of premature labor and what to do? Giving Is Easy
• Make a gift of your choice to the Florida Chapter • Text BABY to 20222 for a $5 dollar charge on your cellphone bill.
We know you can’t wait to meet your baby face to face. But getting to at least 39 weeks gives your baby the time he or she needs to grow and there are lots of important things happening to your baby in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Babies born too early may have more health problems at birth and later in life than babies born full term. Here’s why your baby needs 39 weeks: • Important organs, like his brain, lungs and liver, get all the time they need to develop. • He is less likely to have vision and hearing problems after birth. • Babies born too soon often are too small. Babies born at a healthy weight have an easier time staying warm than babies born too small. • He can suck and swallow and stay awake long enough to eat after he’s born. Babies born early sometimes can’t do these things. March of Dimes understands that you might not have a choice about when to have your baby. If there are problems with your pregnancy or your baby’s health, you may need to have your baby earlier. We are there for your baby. Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks gestation, is the leading cause of neonatal death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disabilities. Every day, we see how premature birth affects babies and families. With more than half a million babies born too soon in the United States each year, the problem is bigger than ever.

Signs and symptoms of preterm labor and what to do Preterm or premature labor happens when you go into labor before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. This is too early for your baby to be born. Babies born too soon can have lifelong or life-threatening health problems. Can preterm labor be stopped?
Many women are given drugs to try to delay or stop preterm labor. In some cases, birth can be delayed long enough to transport Mom to a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Women may also be given medications that can improve the baby’s health, even if the baby comes early. Warning signs of preterm labor
•Contractions (your abdomen tightens like a fist) every 10 minutes or more often •Change in vaginal discharge (leaking fluid or bleeding from your vagina) •Pelvic pressure—the feeling that your baby is pushing down •Low, dull backache •Cramps that feel like your period •Abdominal cramps with or without diarrhea
What should I do if I think I’m having preterm labor?
Call your health care provider (nurse, doctor or midwife) or go to the hospital right away if you think you’re having preterm labor, or if you have any of the warning signs. Call even if you have only one sign.

Preterm delivery can happen to any pregnant woman, and in about 50% of the cases, the causes are unknown. The March of Dimes has taken on this devastating problem — to find out what causes it and how it can be stopped. Every November, March of Dimes calls attention to this and this year we will join organizations on three other continents to host the first World Prematurity Day on November 17. The March of Dimes, the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants, (EFCNI) Africa-based LittleBigSouls International Foundation, and the National Premmie Foundation in Australia are the founding global alliance members and they hope to harness the power of social media to encourage governments to give top priority to educating health professionals and women about caring for high-risk pregnancies and premature babies. People everywhere can show their support for global prematurity prevention efforts by going to Facebook.com/WorldPrematurityDay and joining the virtual campaign by changing their Facebook status to reflect a prematurity awareness message.
Eliana and Danielle were born on December 27, 2007. For most it would be considered a joyous day. For us, it was not a particularly happy day. You see, they were only 24 weeks gestation and weighed about 1 lb., 2 oz. each. We had no warning that anything would go wrong. At 22 weeks, a problem developed. The doctors could not explain why, but “ Twin A” started to move down the birth canal. Instead of hearing the hearty shouts of congratulations, we were told the outlook was grim and to expect the worst. Today we can say it has been a happy ending. Our girls are perfectly healthy and absolute miracles. They brighten our lives with their smiles, laughter and love. Every person who ever donated to the March of Dimes helped save our babies’ lives. Through the research funded by the March of Dimes, there have been countless developments in medicine, equipment and treatments. Thank you,
Jim Rot hman

ENTERTAINMENT
FOOD REVIEW
By Skip Sheffield
‘Tower Heist’ Another Caper Movie With Big Stars Everyone likes a good caper movie. That’s why Hollywood keeps making them. The latest is “Tower Heist.” The only original twist is the unique form of the fortune the heisters seek. I won’t give it away. “Tower Heist” is light, entertaining fare with a decent cast. Ben Stiller is Josh Kovacs, the harried manager of a Donald Trump-type Manhattan high-rise. Alan Alda is Arthur Shaw, the Bernie Madoff-like tenant who owns the building and lives in the penthouse suite. Alda seems to relish this kind of capitalist-pig role, and he makes Shaw really reprehensible and ripe for a fall. Shaw has bilked investors for millions, maybe billions of dollars in a Ponzi scheme. The losers include his employees, who stand to have their pension fund wiped out. That fund figures out to about $20 million, which is the sum Kovacs calculates Shaw has stashed in his penthouse safe. So Kovacs enlists fellow employees and losers to cook up a scheme to break into Shaw’s penthouse and steal the stash. The guys include Casey Affleck, Matthew Broderick and Michael Pena, and since none has criminal experience, Kovacs enlists recently-released convict Slide (Eddie Murphy) to pull off the caper. The presence of Eddie Murphy doing his wiseguy thing guarantees some chuckles. Gabourey Sidibe,
Eric Elmosino and Laetitia Casta in “Gainsbourg” the young woman who was so moving in “Precious,” shows she has comic chops too in her small role of Ponzi loser Odessa. Like most caper movies the premise is wildly improbable, but under the direction of Miami Beach native Bret Ratner, at least it’s fun. Two and a half stars Love a sexy French film? ‘Gainsbourg’ is your ticket. “Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life” is the ironic title of a film by comic book artist Joann Sfar, inspired by the real life of French-Jewish artist, pianist, songwriter, singer and lover, Serge Gainsbourg. Born Lucien Ginsburg to Russian-Jewish parents, Serge (Eric Elmosino) as he later re-named himself, was precocious musically and sexually. Lucien had an enormous hooked beak of a nose, which we see parodied in a cartoon puppet figure which represents his alter ego. We see Lucien rejected by girl because he is “too ugly,” but that never stopped the confident Serge-to-be. Once Serge Gains-
bourg became a musical star, women were only too happy to jump into his bed. In one notable scene we see him happily fornicating on the bed of rival artist Salvatore Dali. “Gainsbourg’ is studded with celebrities of the 1960s era; most noticeably Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta) who then was at the peak of her movie stardom. Other beauties he wooed and won were Juliette Greco (Anna Mouglalis) and Jane Birkin (Lucy Gordon). Serge Gainsbourg never made much of an impact in the USA. The only song of his I remember is the torrid “Je T’Aime,” with its breathy feminine spoken lyric and banned in many parts. Judging from this film, Serge (he died in 1991 at age 63) was quite a guy. Eric Elmosino has already won Best Actor awards in France and New York’s Tribeca Film Festival) and living proof you never know what a woman is attracted to. His legacy lives on in his daughter, singeractress Charlotte Gainsbourg. Three and a half stars

Caffe Luna Rosa – Cuisine by the Sea Located at 34 Ocean Boulevard (A1A) in Delray Beach (561-2749404) Luna Rosa is the oldest Italian restaurant therein and boasts a wide range of traditional fare. While menu items do change according to season, many standards are always available and specials appear nightly. We sampled Diver Scallops, sauced nicely and paired with risotto, shrimp and mussels- a fine dish indeed. A 6 ounce lobster tail and 4 jumbo white shrimp al Forno was broiled to perfection and served with steamed rice, sautéed green beans provencale plus drawn butter and fresh lemon. Sampling a yellow tail snapper filet, lightly battered and pan fried, served with green beans, herbed rice and lemon beurre blanc was a treat for the palette. Mahi mahi, sautéed with chardonnay and lemon butter sauce or served over roasted eggplant, zucchini, squash and plum tomatoes (Rattatoulle) are featured along with a lump crab crusted snapper and also marinated calamari which was char grilled and served over arugula, radicchio, grape tomatoes, cucumber and Man-
darin orange salad with a citrus vinaigrette. We tried (Spuntini Misti), artichoke hearts, mixed olives, roasted peppers, soppressata salami, mozzarella and marinated tomato bruschettadelicious and enough for two as was the Calamari Fritto Misto with it’s calamari strips, zucchini, arugula and squash in a crispy batter which we had with a Cajun aioli- a great dish with a bit of a bite. We were treated to fried chicken fingers with a rich tasting tomato dressing and loved the dish. Regarding saladstheir Insalata Tritata was fine, we went overboard for the Insalata Cesare- Romaine tossed with Parmigiano Reggiano in a great Ceasar dressing. Six pasta choices are listed- the Creste di Gallo alla Vodka was excellent with it’s vodka tomato cream sauce. Likewise, the Pappadelle alla Bolognese with it’s D.O.P. San. Marzano tomato meat sauce. Luna Rosa does pasta right! Veal Scallopini Marsala was tender and tasty, mushrooms galore in a demi-glaze served with Potato del Giorno, a lovely dish. A half dozen
land selections are listed as are a half dozen sea selections. What is good Italian food without good Italian wine? The answer lies with Caffe Luna Rosa wine list-they brilliantly list their huge (300 bottles) selection by the region wherein the wine is grown. It is an education! The full bottles from Italy are joined by others from across the US and other countries. As of this writing there is a special half price wine list available for diners at the Sunday and Monday dinners with your choice of 25 offerings. Floating on our palette was the tiramisuso smooth and creamy, the rich but not cloying chocolate mousse cake and a great key lime pie. A sugar- free dessert is usually on the menu. Dinner ends with the choice of any five desserts, a dozen coffees and 35 cordials, cognacs, grappa and port wines. Caffe Luna Rosa has a five page menu headed by a informative statement outlining their selections of seafoods, pastas, tomatoes and sauces When you understand their creed, it is easy to make your dining selections- go and enjoy!

Love is fleeting - Fashion is forever
There is one thing everyone is talking about, and it’s not the economy. For the first time in a while the Republican debates have taken a backseat to the impending divorce of Kim Kardashian and kris Humphries. After all, being married for 72 days is a big emotional burden. You know why? You have to share a bathroom (at times) and you have to agree on the same towel colors and drapes. And don’t forget the important things like movie choices, dinner entrees, sofa cushions and model and make of automobile. Let’s just say that marriage is not easy (and from what I hear it was never easy) but after 72 days, 1700 hours and 103680 minutes you’re really just at the starting line. Perhaps kris picked his teeth in bed or just had a bad habit of talking with his mouth open at the dinner table (all capital matrimonial offenses). Perhaps Kim just decided the china was not good enough and wants a do-over (with someone shorter). No matter what her reason it really gets a single gal thinking – aren’t there more permanent things to hold onto in today’s impermanent world? Yes there are – and at the moment the most exciting thing to have and to hold is a hat. Sure a hat cannot take you out to dinner, but it can make you look great at the restaurant. And, you don’t have to worry about it saying goodbye after 72 days (just
don’t’ wear it in the rain). That’s why Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker and Lady Gaga are all going gaga for hats. As a matter of fact last week at the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival everyone was wearing large elaborate headpieces. Milliner to the stars (and to the queen) Philip Treacy made a spectacular black mesh hat (that looks like snake) for Sarah Jessica Parker. The 1,500 people in the audience gasped when Parker stood up in the huge black Treacy hat. One reporter had this to say about the hat: “I'm willing to bet she had no problems with mosquitos. If there were any around, I’m sure they got caught up in her hat.” But you don’t have to be a princess or a movie star to wear a hat (if you want one made by Treacy it helps). But there are a lot of talented hat designers with amazing hats and fascinators to bring you into the fashion headwear fold. Award-winning hat maker Carol Bader, who attends racing events around the globe, always wows the crowd with large sun hats and elaborate fascinators (that sit high on the head and are small in stature). Mesh, flowers, and feathers often sit atop saucer shape discs giving the head a new perch to lean on. These hats (known as fascinators) were worn to the Royal Wedding (of Will and Kate) and are now de rigueur for the fashionable and fun loving. Let’s face it, the head has been pretty bare over the

NCCI Holdings raises more than $279,000 for United Way BOCA RATON -NCCI Holdings’ United Way campaign hit a high note this year, pledging more than $279,000 in employee and corporate donations—the highest amount ever pledged by NCCI employees. The Boca Raton-based company, which collects and analyzes workers compensation data, created an ambassador program to allow employees to see first-hand how their dollars make a difference. Ninety employee ambassadors visited 18 community agencies throughout Palm Beach County to see how United Way dollars are spent. They toured job placement agencies and soup kitchens, shelters and medical clinics. The ambassadors evaluated the effectiveness with which the agencies help individuals and families overcome barriers to lead more independent, dignified lives.
As part of the campaign, NCCI employees also learned about additional United Way community partner organizations during a lunchtime Agency Forum in NCCI’s cafeteria. During the forum, nine local non-profit agencies representing United Way of Palm Beach County’s targeted care areas— education, income and health—distributed information and spoke with NCCI employees. “We are thrilled the campaign drew so much support and involved many people across our company,” said Heidi Boehringer, director of underwriting, who chaired the campaign. “The in-house events included jeans sticker sales, basket raffles, a silent auction, and a fabulous live auction. We offered something for each employee to get involved in their own way.”
NCCI Holdings employee, Dianne Ferger puts in an early bid at the silent auction to benefit the United Way. At NCCI Holdings’ United Way of Palm Beach campaign wrap up, United Way CEO Chuck Anderson, NCCI CEO Steve Klingel, United Way COO Laurie George, and United Way VP of Resource Development Larry Miller read handmade cards made by the children of the Salvation Army and the Milagro Center thanking NCCI employees for their support.

Nova Dental - - The kind of experts in Dental Care By Diane Feen If you’re like most people the last place you want to go is to the dentist. But like some things in life, you just have to face your fears and “go for it.” And there’s a good reason to go to the dentist – your overall health is at risk. That’s why Dr. Santiago Roldan, a Doctor of Dental medicine (DMD), has created a practice with his patient’s well-being in mind. He is adept at working with people who have a fear of going to the dentist and he has a gentle and kind demeanor that puts patients at ease. But one thing for sure Dr. Roldan has the experience and the commitment to make sure his patients get the best care. He is a board certified dentist and did a Post Graduate Fellowship in Oral Surgery at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Dr. Roldan has been practicing dentistry for the past 34 years and is listed in the Guide to America’s Top Dentists by the Consumers’ Research Council of America. He has also been selected as one of the top dentists by the International Association of Dentists. “Because some people are afraid of the dentist we make sure they get proper counseling. We talk to them and work through their fears. Some people need reassurance and education so they know exactly what is happening. I like to communicate with my patients on every step of the procedure,” said Dr. Roldan. To alleviate fears and phobias of dentistry (or oral surgery) Dr. Roldan

uses behavior management skills and gives patients the option of sedation (including nitrous oxide) to calm their nerves. Dr. Roldan is also very adamant that people take good care of their gums. If not there are consequences. “If you don’t take good care of your gums it can affect your heart and cause heart disease. It can also affect the joints and cause joint disease. Did you know there are eight million bacteria’s in one cubic millimeter of saliva?” According to Dr. Roldan periodontal disease (that is not uncommon) is an infection in the mouth that can affect the whole body and the blood. It can travel to other places and cause inflammation to the joints and cause heart and kidney diseases. Dr. Roldan also gives patients a thorough explanation of their treatment options so they understand what can be done to prevent (or resolve) gum problems. “I have done a lot of oral surgery and am highly skilled in tooth extraction and impaction, bone grafting, implants, gum surgery and wisdom teeth extraction and impaction.” Dr. Roldan is also a big advocate of seeing
patients holistically. That means he examines their entire structure, not just their teeth. “We want to make sure their bite is correct (to avoid TMJ), their gums are in good condition and their overall mouth health is good. We do a comprehensive check-up and exam.” Not only is Dr. Roldan experienced and caring but his office has state-of-the-art equipment, digital x-rays and computerized software. But some things are better off done the old fashioned way. “We care about our patients and want to make sure they are comfortable and feel well cared for. We are friendly and our environment is stress free and hospitable. We really care.” Nova Dental has different payment plans and accepts all types of insurance with PPO plans. They also have an office in Pompano. *Because Dr. Roldan wants to meet his neighbors he is offering Free x-rays on your first visit.

Florida Reveres Brazil
Story by Carlo Barieri Governor Rick Scott´s visit to Brazil stated the importance that this country represents to the USA in general and, more particularly, to the state of Florida as well.Besides being the best Florida´s commercial partner, having imported from this state almost 14 billion dollars in 2010, Brazil has also outstanding facts such as follows: • Florida exported to Brazil almost 14 billion dollars last year • Brazilians are the best real estate buyers in Florida currently, which has made property prices stable in Miami, without significant depreciation. Today, 11 per cent of property owners are Brazilians in contrast to the 8 per cent of three years ago • Brazilians are likely to reach, still this year, the status of the greatest contingent of tourists in Florida ( probably outdoing Canada) • The Brazilians´ average per capita expenditure is the highest one in Florida, beating the Chinese, with an average expenditure of 6 thousand dollars per person, including children. What Made the Difference Rick Scott´s entrepreneurial experience made the difference in these traditional visits that the governors have made to Brazil. With a contagiously, friendly attitude and memorable simplicity, the governor has managed to win the Brazilian entrepreneurs´ heart and trust in São Paulo. Mentioning that there were millions of business deals made is just a media approach to place an event in the spotlight, but the
BUSINESS BITS BOCA RATON – The Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce will hold its 30th Annual Holiday Auction With a Cause Dec. 14 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Via Mizner Golf and Country Club, 6200 Boca Del Mar Drive, Boca Raton. This event will help support the many programs at the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce and will help to ensure the development of future programs. There will be a live and silent auction. Various restaurants will be featuring their cuisine and there will be a selection of cocktails and wines.
Governor Rick Scott and Carlo Barbieri core Center of Fiesp (Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo - Industry Federation of São Paulo State), packed with entrepreneurs, who had to struggle for a chance in order to establish contact with American companies displaying their products and services, is a wellproven demonstration of the interest aroused by the mission accomplished in São Paulo. The mission success could be portrayed in Manny Mencia´s irreprehensible smile, Senior-Vice President of International Trade and Business Development of Florida Enterprise, who was - for that matter, in total despair in the previous mission, and can now be seen so happy with the current Governor. Undoubtedly there will be well over 200 million increase in exportation as a result of this mission. Brazil – An Unprecedented Opportunity Brazil has a reserve of well over 350 billion dollars, in contrast to a debt
of less than 250 billion dollars, and it´s certainly the greatest and most wanted USA´s partner. It is also one of the few countries with which the United States has an expressive superavit in the trade balance and it is a great importer of industrialized products and high technology. Politically, the new female President of Brazil has approached and gotten even closer than the previous President Lula, and she has managed to keep the political stability and the respect to the intellectual property so desirable and paramount, at the same time very little effective in other countries, not only in Asia but also in Latin America. With the likely exemption of VISA for the Brazilians to visit the USA, 300 million tourists from that country are expected to be visiting the USA where they will spend their dollars. The state of São Paulo has a GNC (Gross Nation-
al Product) greater than Argentina and Poland; and Brazil, by itself, represents over 50 per cent of the entire GNC of South America. The State of Florida is the world’s 21st largest economy, whereas the State of São Paulo is the 22nd. Challenges Starting or developing businesses in different countries is definitely a great challenge, but it has never been so clear that, regardless of any challenge, Brazil is worth being taken into consideration and a priority as far as foreign investments are concerned. Carlo Barbieri, a Lawyer and Economist with several different courses in universities such as Harvard, MIT and Sorbonne is also a columnist and the president of Oxford Group, which congregates companies and consultants specialized in developing projects for companies wishing to invest in the Brazilian market.

FAITH By Rick Warren
Your Life: Waste, Spend, or Invest It? Practically every day I receive unsolicited mail trying to interest me in some kind of financial investment opportunity. Although wise financial investing is the intelligent thing to do, I have noticed that many people who diligently plan how they will invest their income have never attempted to consider planning for how they will invest their lives. When the time comes, and you arrive at the end of your life, how will YOU determine whether your life was worthwhile? What evaluation criteria are you planning to use? To ask an even more immediate question, how are you investing your life right now? What kind of return or “dividend” are you expecting to receive from the investment of your life? Realistically, you only have three options when you consider what do with the rest of your life: You can WASTE it. There is countless ways for doing this; we see them by looking around. Many people do absolutely nothing with their lives. They simply exist – taking up space and using up air. They make no contribution with their lives. Their hours are consumed by meaningless activity – or no activity at all. You can SPEND it. There are many ways to spend away your life. You
can give yourself to a career, or a hobby, or an experience, or travel – any kind of pursuit that captures your interest and seduces you into devoting much of your time, energy and resources to it. An average individual will spend approximately 29,962 days on this earth. The question for each of us is: On what will we spend those days? You can INVEST it. The Bible teaches the best use for our life on earth is to invest it in something that will outlast it! This involves taking the “longlook” – maintaining a long-range perspective on life. It is interesting how much things can change when you acquire an eternal perspective. As you might expect, the Bible speaks often about the value – and importance – of maintaining an eternal perspective on temporal living. Many of the stories Jesus taught dealt with this theme of investment. In Matthew 25:1430, for instance, He told a story about three men who were given responsibility for their master’s property. Two of them invested wisely and were rewarded; the third did not and was disciplined. From biblical stories like these, we see seven principles for investing your life: 1. OWNERSHIP: Everything I have really
belongs to God. All we have is only on loan to me for the time we are on this earth. 2. ALLOCATION: God strategically gives us specific talents and abilities at birth. 3. ACCOUNTABILITY: God expects us to use the talents He has given to us. One day we will give an account to Him of what we did with what He gave us. 4. UTILIZATION: Using our talents to the fullest involves risk, so faith in God is required. 5. MOTIVATION: What prevents us from developing our talents is fear, unwillingness to venture beyond our “comfort zone.” 6. APPLICATION: If we don’t use our talents, we will lose them. 7. COMPENSATION: If we use our talents the way God intends, He will reward us. Romans 2:6 assures us, “God ‘will give to each person according to what he has done.’” © 2011, Purpose Driven Life. All rights reserved. Adapted from a column by Dr. Rick Warren, the author of numerous books, including the highly acclaimed, The Purpose-Drive Life, which has been translated into many languages and sold throughout the world. It affirms the importance of having a carefully considered, clearly expressed purpose to guide everyday life. It has been named one of the 100 Christian books that changed the 20th Century. He also has written The PurposeDriven Church.
WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN?™ By Gerald J. Sherman
Personal Selling Reborn Have you noticed the rebirth of personal selling? Just read the newspapers, view TV and listen to the talk shows. Watch the presidential debates and you will see personal selling in action. The winner is the one who can best successfully communicate their ideas on benefiting their listeners. What are they doing? They are selling themselves! Observe President Obama touring our country and delivering his message. He is selling! Review the actions of past presidents selling Congress and the American people on their policies. With the advent of the Internet and the social media, many of us have discounted the importance of personal selling. However, you will find that the ability to personally communicate ideas is still playing a vital role in the future of our country. In our book, The Real World Guide to Selling & Management, (2007), my co-author and I came up with the slogan that, “Selling is not a dirty word.”™ It is rather a process of delivering mutual benefits. It important to understand what makes a person engaged in this process successful. Not every person is cut out to be a successful
salesperson. Some people simply do not have the right combination of character traits and behavior patterns, without which a career in sales would pose only frustrations, anxiety, and a lack of fulfillment. However, for those with the right chemistry, the opportunities for job satisfaction and personal growth in sales are unlimited. To be successful, a person must possess, or be able to adopt, a set of characteristics and behavioral patterns which are essential. In my experience I have found that successful salespeople have a combination of the following: Empathy – Do you find yourself adjusting to another person’s moods and behavior, modifying your own position to accommodate another viewpoint? We define empathy as “listening to another person attentively and understanding their thoughts, emotions and feelings, and adjusting your own moods and behavior accordingly,” (Sherman&Hertz). Ego drive -- When a client turns you down do you feel angered, dismiss the failure with a shrug of the shoulder or are you driven to overcome the obstacles to your success? A professional salesperson is
success driven – in a controlled way. Integrity -- Integrity carries a very special meaning in the business world. It defines one’s character and reputation in the marketplace, forms the backbone of that person’s credibility, and is a major factor in gaining the trust and admiration of all who you work with. Creativity -- Although it doesn’t seem like a trait that would make for an effective salesperson, it is important because it develops your own style of selling. Emotional maturity -- The buying and selling process is an emotional one. Do you get carried away with your emotions under stress or in the throes of a difficult decision or are you able to accept strain and conflict as a normal part of your working day? Appraise yourself by rereading the above characteristics. Excerpts from the book, WOMANPOWER IN TEXTILE & APPAREL SALES and The Real World Guide to Fashion Selling & Management, Gerald J.

The Boca Raton Tribune
LeBron James needs to be careful what he wishes for By: Steve Rawnsley Is Jamal Crawford a good fit in Miami? LeBron James thinks so illustrated by the fact that he went to his twitter account to recruit Jamal Crawford. He said, “Would love to see @JCrossover in a Heat uni! What u guys say?� Now, the question is this: Is Jamal Crawford really a good fit for the Heat? This guy is known as one of the best sixth men in the league, and the Heat could use some depth, but is he a piece the Heat could use towards their second franchise championship? LeBron needs to be careful about what he wishes for. Jamal Crawford is one of the most aggressive offensive players off of the bench in the league. He has the skill to come off the bench right away and be in rhythm. Most guys that come off the bench take a few minutes to get into the flow. This is a skill you just have or you do not. Problem is even after he is in rhythm he is still not that efficient. Let us forget about the regular season. The Heat will have a top two seed, and there is not much argument there. (Especially with a more compacted schedule, that hurts the aging Celtics probably more than anybody, if we have a season.) Next, Jamal Crawford is
one of the new age combo guards. Not really being a point guard does not hurt him all that much for the Heat when they have LeBron and Wade who can also play that, in the playoffs in crunch time. So why is he not a great fit for Miami? The problem is in the playoffs, do they really need another scorer? Chris Bosh was getting 39.7 minutes in the playoffs and that was the least among the big three. This means two of the three are on the floor virtually the whole game. Outside of the two that are on the floor, there is not more need for for scoring. Jamal Crawford is just another player who fits that mold. His biggest strength is scoring. Another problem is many times, he is a black hole when it comes to ball movement. As much as he likes to shoot the outside shot, he is best when he can drive. Problem is that the Heat already have Wade and LeBron to do that. They would really need him to be a spot up shooter, to help spread the floor. Last season, Jamal shot 34% from beyond the arc. Compare that to Mario Chalmers who shot about 28% from three point range in the playoffs. Jamal Crawford also only shot 42% overall last year. So now we see he is not a very efficient scorer. What
else does he bring to the table? Well not much. He could not even average 2 rebounds a game in 30 minutes. He has about a 1.5/1 assist-turnover ratio, so that is not very good for a guard. He was only getting .8 steals a game last year, which is bad for guard in 30 minutes. The Heat have enough scorers as it is. The big three took about 2/3 of the shots in the playoffs. Crawford is much like former Heat player Antoine Walker, just in a smaller package. Many times watching Walker, people cringe at his shot selection, and that is the same thing that Crawford does. Wade and LeBron take enough bad looking shots, the difference is they can make what looks like the worst shot. He is also thirty-two years old, so his athletic ability is decreasing. He only averaged less than 17 points once between 2003-04 to 20092010. Last year he dipped to 14.2 points. The last thing the Heat need is an aging scorer, who will not get many shots anyways, and is inefficient. (Mario Chalmers was fourth in shot attempts for the Heat at six shots a game in the playoffs) LeBron James needs to recruit other types of players. He needs to be careful what he wishes for.
Gabriela DeVries Earns Second Team Capital One Academic All-District Honors Boca Raton, FL - Florida Atlantic University women's soccer senior defenderGabriela DeVries has been recognized for her academic and athletic achievement, earning Capital One Academic All-District honors for
the second consecutive season by College Sports Information Directors of America. The Navarre native was a second-team honoree this year, thus becoming the second player in school history to be selected to multiple
district academic teams. DeVries, a biology major with a 3.80 cumulative grade point average, played in 75 career matches and helped anchor a defensive unit that posted a winning home record in three of her
four seasons. She tallied two goals and eight assists in her career, contributing an assist during each season. Her pass helped set up the goal in the Owls' victory over the University of Louisiana-Monroe on
October 23. On defense, DeVries helped the team post shutouts this fall over Stetson University, University of MissouriKansas City and Furman University. DeVries earned thirdteam academic all-dis-
trict honors last season. She joinsDanielle Castro (2001, 2003) and Megan Coyne (2005) as the only FAU women's soccer players to receive academic all-district honors.

#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.

BOCA RATON, Fla.— Despite a 21 point effort from Josh Garcia, the Lynn University men’s basketball team lost to the Florida Atlantic Owls 64-53 on Tuesday in exhibition play. Lynn battled the Owls in a back and forth first half. With 04:26 left in the first period, the Fighting Knights found themselves down 10 at 29-19. The Blue & White then went on a 10-0 run to close out the half capped off by eight-straight Garcia points. At the 02:04 mark in half number one and down by six, Garcia nailed back-to-back three to send the game to the break tied at 29. Out of the half, it was Garcia again with some big buckets. Garcia knifed
his way through the lane to convert on a layup to give Lynn their biggest lead of the game at 35-31 with 16:31 to play. FAU responded just under 02:00 minutes later to claim their first lead of the second half at 36-35 with 14:42 on the clock. The Owls continued to press their advantage the rest of the half and stretched their tilt to 13 with 06:15 left in the game. The Knights clawed back into the game with just under 05:00 minutes to play when Garcia connected on a four point play then added two free throws to make it a 59-53 game in favor of FAU. The Owls concluded the game on a 5-0 run to claim the exhibition victory. Garcia’s 21 was a game-
high. He also added three boards and an assist on a 7-13 shooting night which included a 4-7 clip from behind the arc. Preye Preboye totaled 11 points in 13:00 minutes of play.
