New GED exam greeted with mixed feelings By CRA News Service Adults across Palm Beach County this week began taking the new GED high school equivalency exam, which officials say is now a tougher, computerized tests. The face-lift, the first in more than a decade, makes it more rigorous and aligned to skills needed for college and today’s workplace, education advocates said. The new exams are designed to better prepare students for vocational training, college or careers by testing the skills employers are looking for now, said Armando Diaz, spokesman for the GED Testing Service. “It’s more critical thinking instead of plug and chug,” Diaz said. For example, many multiple choice, fill-in-the-bubble questions will be replaced with in-depth questions that require test-takers to read longer passages and show understanding by defending opinions in short answers or essays. The pass rates for the current GED tests have ranged from 66 percent to nearly 73 percent each

year between 2002 to 2011. The new tests, overseen by the national GED Testing Service - which is jointly owned by the Pearson learning company and the American Council on Education - will condense five subjectmatter exams into four and will include more difficult questions aligned with new Common Core Curriculum Standards that have been adopted in Florida and most other states. Instead of taking tests with pencil and paper, students will have to take the exams on computers. The good news is the new computerized tests will immediately tell students whether they passed or failed. Education advocates are greeting it with mixed feelings. Some adult education principals say it’s important for the tests to keep up with current technology, while others are concerned that degree-seekers who are not computer proficient will be left behind. And the new GED has a new price: $128 for the full exam. The old paper and pencil test was $70.

Beached whale’s cause of death still undetermined

figure out what killed a sperm whale that washed ashore in Spanish River Park recently. “We don’t have any results yet,” said Allison Carrett, a NOAA spokeswoman. “It could take weeks or months.” Carrett also said they have not been able to determine whether the whale was a male or female. The 30-foot endangered mammal appeared to have been attacked by sharks floating off shore before the tide washed it in on Jan. 10. The mammoth creature’s carcass, which was decomposed, is estimated to weigh more 20 tons, and was too heavy to be moved. Scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration plan left the animal overnight and brought it to the lab in Miami the following day.

New Buildings In Downtown Boca Raton Cause Resident Concerns

Photo by: Gina Onori

By: Quezia Salgado and Gina Onori New developments underway in Downtown Boca Raton leave some residents concerned about the changes in the upcoming year. “I came to Boca to retire and relax in the Florida sunshine,” says 10 year resident Mike Schwartz. “With more developments, I am afraid of overcrowding, parking issues and traffic.” There are currently two buildings under construction, one of which is located by Fifth Third Bank on East Palmetto, and the other on the corner of Federal Hwy and SE 1st Street. Assistant City Manager Mike Woika says that each development is required to build enough parking for the uses of the development, whether it be residential, commercial, office or a mixture of the three. All of the new development projects have enough parking for all of their uses. The assistant superintendent of construction, Casey Bruketa, said most of the men working on the building located on Federal and Palmetto, use a shuttle system to get to the site, which aims to minimize interfere with employee and resident parking downtown. However, several reports regarding renovation in this area have voiced complaints from residents and people who work in the local shops, about not having enough parking spaces due to the commotion caused by construction. In fact, Fifth Third Bank had to hire a valet parking company to manage traffic for its customers. Building manager Aaron Campbell, however, states that parking troubles were

www.bocaratontribune.com

happening before construction started. According to Campbell, the structure on East Palmetto consists of about 208 condos for rent, and possibly some office space once finished. The KAST Construction project, which started about a year ago, was set to be completed by mid2014. However, it has been backed up, and as of now, has a finish date set for the summer of 2015. On the other hand, there has also been positive feedback from both residents and local employees. Local employee Ryan Hollander said, “I’m happy about the construction; I think it’s going to be great for the community.” On the corner of SE 1st and Federal Hwy there is another massive structure under construction. This building is by Camden Apartment Homes and will open by this summer. The building consists of 8 stories with 261 rental units, and an adjacent parking garage. In addition to having a great location by Boca Raton Elementary school, as well as parking convenience, project superintendent Martin Miranda said, “There will also be a public dog park on the West corner of the building, and that is our gift to the city.” When asked about the construction and congestion happening in downtown Boca, local shop owner Charlotte Robinson said, “I am very happy about it; building is progress and progress is the future.”And in the near future, the Tribune readers will be able to stay on top of all the developments of downtown Boca, as we continue this series.

S.A.A.C. Hosts Successful Senior Citizen Prom By Olivia Corio Lynn University’s StudentAthlete Advisory Committee hosted its annual Senior Citizen Prom at Stratford Court Senior Living Community on Friday, January 10, in conjunction with the University’s Knights Unite Day of Caring. This year’s theme was the Rock n’ Roll era if the 1950’s, which many of the residents enjoyed recalling their earlier years with the music, decorations and party favors. At the end of the night, the student-athletes selected four residents, two kings and two queens, which were awarded crowns and had the opportunity to dance with whoever they chose for the final dance. “For this annual event, the students always work hard to make sure that it is better than the year before and they continually deliver a night to remember for the residents,” said Assistant Athletic Director and S.A.A.C. advisor Sara Quatrocky. “As an administrator, it is amazing to see the two groups of young and old blend and truly create bonds with one another. Like always, I am very proud of our students.” It was hard to out-due last year’s prom that was sweetheart themed and had over 100 attendees but this year’s S.A.A.C. members made it happen. The night started slow but once the music picked up there wasn’t any more room on the dance floor. The DJ, who donned a sparkly glove for all Michael Jackson songs, played a variety of tunes to keep the

party going. Age did not matter as the different generations danced to everything from Frank Sinatra to Robin Thicke. “This was a night to remember as the elderly folks were reminiscing back to their high school days. When they were singing and dancing to the music you could just see the smiles of memories,” said S.A.A.C. President Andrew Melchor. “It is great that S.A.A.C. takes part in events like these.” This was Melchor’s second year attending the senior citizen prom. He joined S.A.A.C. last year when he became a member of the baseball team and has quickly become a strong leader for the organization. “I really love going to Stratford Court and spending time with the elderly and hearing stories from when they were our age,” said Tylar Tracy, a member of the women’s basketball team. She later added, “It was great seeing a smile on their faces as we took them back 60 years.” Each January, Lynn University hosts a Knights Unite Day of Caring in an effort to honor the lives of the four students and two faculty members that lost their lives in the devastating Haiti Earthquake in 2010 while on a “Journey of Hope” during Lynn’s J-Term. This is the second year in a row S.A.A.C. moved its annual event to January to coincide with the University’s day of community service.

Robert Campbell: From Pittsburg Boy To Boca’s Go-To Shoe Guy By Quezia Salgado The Shoe Industry is made up of hundreds of manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. Among them, BBC International stands out as a prominent footwear sourcing agent, representing the largest providers and specialty brands in the world, for more than 30 years. This long history of success is undoubtedly due to the hard work and efforts of BBC’s incredible team, but none of it would have been possible without the boldness of its CEO and founder Robert B. Campbell. On a recent interview with Mr. Campbell, the Boca Tribune was able to find out a bit more about this incredible man, who has made such a difference in the community. As a child, growing up in Pittsburgh with his mother and three sisters, the idea of owning a multi-million dollar company, was far from Robert’s mind. For six years, they lived in the attic of his grandmother’s house, while his mother worked at his grandpa’s bakery – the same bakery where Robert started working at the age of 9. “My mother did nothing but work hard; she was amazing and taught us all about respect and ethics, and raised us in a good Christian family.” Despite their humble beginnings, Robert says his family never knew the word “poor”; they never thought of themselves as poor, “We always knew we were a lucky and happy family”. After his mother remarried, Robert and his family moved to Detroit when he was 15 years old. There Mr. Campbell attended Cass Tech High School, which was rated the country’s #1 tech school at the time. At Cass Tech, Robert was involved with music and athletics, playing in the concert band and football team. During his junior year he started working part-time at a local Kinney Shoe store, where his career started. Robert made $35 that first week, but his true goal was to make $100, “I never had a goal about being rich because I thought I was rich; making $100 a week at 16 years old, I thought that was the greatest thing in the world.” Robert was quickly promoted to store manager, and later regional buyer and started traveling all over the States doing special buys for Kinney. By 1963 Bob became a buyer for F.W. Woolworth, which was Kinney’s parent company at the time; there he worked for 9 years, traveling the

world as the Developing Director of Footwear. The bureaucracy of big companies became too stressful for Robert, so in 1975 he founded BBC International. He started by himself, with only one secretary, and a few good people who were a great help in encouraging Bob, and are considered mentors to him. One of those was Cam Anderson – founder of Footlocker – “I worked directly with him in Chicago and every time I needed help with anything he was there for me.” Another one of Bob’s mentors was Harvey Levy, from Pagoda International, “…he was my competitor, but he said: ‘If you need any help, let me know.’” Although Robert never had a life plan he always knew that if he focused on something and worked hard at it, he would be successful: “My only ambition was to work hard, get ahead, and I knew it would pay off; I just always felt confident about that; I was never afraid of failure.” This same confidence is what makes Mr. Campbell such an important part of the Boca community. For many years, he has been involved in several charities and organizations, among which is the Boca Historical Society and Museum – the official organizer of the Bacchanal Wine & Food Festival. Robert has attended the festival every year since its inception, 12 years ago, and for 2014 he was named Honorary Chair of the event, “I think the Bacchanal does fabulous things for the town, and what I like most is that it’s a local event, it stays within the community.” Those interested in attending the Bacchanal have to go through the Boca Historical Society to purchase tickets, and should hurry because this year’s promises to be one for the memories. With such a record of achievements, not to mention all the awards received for his charity contributions, Robert Campbell’s example is one worth imitating. From a young kid working at a bakery, to multi-millionaire business owner, Robert’s life is a demonstration of what someone can accomplish if they work hard and remain humble and grateful. His advice to young entrepreneurs is simply: “Work hard, have a goal, and don’t complain!” At 76 years old, Mr. Campbell’s energy and passion for his work remain unchanged; he is undoubtedly a living legend, whose legacy will live on for years to come.

Are you still keeping your New Year Resolutions?

Happy New Year! As I pen this column, there are so many things that I am happy about. Top of my list, I am happy for the opportunity to have this forum to communicate with you another year. The beginning of the year is a time of reflection. We bemoan the failures of the past year and vow to make resolutions to improve or not to repeat our mistakes. However, we should set resolutions we can keep. Studies show that only 8 percent of New Year’s resolutions are kept. Let’s face it, on New Year’s Eve you resolve to make a change. But within a month, you’re back to your normal patterns. How come? Too many of us make resolutions that lack resolve. Studies also show it takes about 30 days to make or break a habit. So, by directing my energy on smaller and more manageable lifestyle changes, I and most of us will be more likely to dramatically change our lives in a year. I tend to lean toward monthly goals. I promise to be a bit more disciplined starting this month. I will make a list of things I want to work on for the next 30 days. My goals this year range from writing an additional column each week to ensuring that I continue to promote the good work being done daily at Village Academy and Pine Grove Elementary School in Delray Beach. As we think about drafting our resolutions or better yet, plans, for the New Year, it’s important to observe and reflect on model examples of organizations that have and continue to follow the resolutions or commitments they have made. Our local public schools are great examples of public service organizations that establish and keep key commitments to the constituents they serve: our amazing

students and their families. These plans become key organizational values that are deeply embedded in our beliefs, culture and why teaching is a vocation or calling and not just a job. As many of you know, I am not one who makes New Year’s resolutions. However, since I did not achieve all my resolutions, ooops, plans from last year, there are a few I’d like to continue this year: For starters, I wish we all will set resolutions we can keep to improve ourselves, our lives and the world around us. 1. Get Out of Debt. I will strive to spend less than I earn. 2. Learn Something New. I will attempt to learn to fix my own computer, thus making my - right hand - IT friend happy. 3. Get Organized. When it comes to my house, less is more. I will not hesitate to invite someone over on a whim, and I can find my stapler when I need it. 4. Help Others. A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. The next three are my wish list, but I wish friend that you will make them your resolutions. 5. I wish Democrats and Republicans can finally realize that our suffering country is much more important than their petty squabbles, private perks, or corporate backers. 6. I wish Congress would make unemployment a priority. 7. I wish the ongoing conflicts around the world will finally come to peaceful conclusions. 8. And finally, I will strive to ensure you have a good dosage of conversational topic each week. Now having heard that, I welcome your feedback.

INTEGRETY MOMENTS By Rick Boxx

Keeping Faith During Adversary Practicing one’s faith in the pragmatic, bottom-line business and professional world, where seeing is believing, is difficult enough. Faith is especially hard to come by during times of economic adversity. A recent mortgage fraud case reminded me of this truth. The borrower’s business grew rapidly by purchasing houses at below market prices and rehabbing them, making them more attractive to potential buyers. The business owners would leverage as much debt as possible, borrowing large amounts of money to acquire as many lowcost houses as the bank allowed. Eventually, however, mistakes were made. The borrower made poor decisions on some properties; reconstruction work was slowed on others, and the company bought houses much faster than it could

sell them. As a result, a number of the properties remained unsold, consuming much of the borrower’s available cash resources. Eventually the borrowers had an important decision to make: “Do we admit our problem and accept the consequences, or do we lie to the lender and use their money on other projects?” Unfortunately, fear overcame their conscience and faith, leading the company into fraud and ultimately, criminal charges. Faith, in all likelihood, was violated in two ways in this case. First, the borrower proceeded more aggressively than the unstable real estate market warranted, even with the devalued status of properties that were purchased. Most likely, the borrowers did not seriously consult God for guidance about whether to proceed when the growing risk

became evident. Second, the borrower lacked the faith to trust God with the outcome of being straight-forward with the bank about the increasing debt load. Instead, the owners of the company chose to lie and presume they could wriggle their way out of debt by spending more. (Does that scenario sound at all familiar?) They might have avoided their fraud and the criminal consequences if they had heeded the promise of Psalm 23:4, which offers the assurance that God can be trusted when it says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” This verse and the entire psalm were written by a shepherd faced with the daunting task of guiding his sheep through dark, threatening

passages where the animals might encounter predators of various kinds. Operating a real estate business is very different from shepherding sheep, but the principle remains the same: Followers of Jesus need to trust their Lord in times of uncertainty and even danger. Another passage, Philippians 4:6-7, offers a similar promise: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The owners of the residential refurbishing business did not believe or act upon this assurance. If you are faced with a similar dilemma, I have a recommendation: Choose faith, not fear.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Stop Accusing Anybody Else! I have repeatedly affirmed, in these pages, and elsewhere, that in this world there is no one who is perfect, nor capable of reaching perfection in anything while on earth. Yet, such truth doesn’t seem to be sufficiently understood by certain people. “People who really feel adequate and happy within themselves” declared a contemporary author, “have no need to push other people around or to be critical of them.” In fact, the secure persons are not the ones who do the latter part of the sentence above; it is the frustrated, the insecure, the trouble-makers who are more prone to promote destructive criticism!

Several people can accurately recognize a great deal that occurs in the world as undesirable, even quite bad, though they fail to recognize that they, themselves, are at least partially responsible for much of that. It’s not fair nor proper to attribute every wrong only to other people! The reality is that most often, accused persons have nothing specifically to do with that, even though every single mortal shall consistently make his and her mistakes as long as life lasts. Blame is never transferable; each individual must be fully responsible for one’s personal flaws and mistakes, not for

those of others! People need to understand that shifting blame to someone else will not solve the problem at hand, nor exonerate the accuser from ultimate responsibility. One can never elevate self at the expense of an innocent victim; truth always prevails! Quite often, persons who think of themselves as incapable of doing anything wrong, even slightly, are more often the ones on whom ultimate blame shall repose on a variety of situations and interactions. A “holier-than-thou” posture provides no sanction, nor safety to actions done by the one who operates that way, nor guarantees that everything

is fully acceptable! An unfortunate problem is that some people are too proud and arrogant in never admitting even the possibility of committing mistakes. Yet, whatever edifice they’ve erected in the sand will most assuredly crumble completely at some point! Learn to do what is expected of you; do it with excellence and zeal, in as timely a manner as you can. If you concentrate on your personal duties and the good quality you desire to exhibit, you can refrain from hunting for faults that others may have committed. After all, it’s none of your business anyway!

Municipal News The Boca Raton Tribune

Two men arrested for stealing storm shutters On Thursday, January 9 at about 12:20 p.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to a report of a theft of storm shutters from a residence in the 3800 block of NW 4th Court. A neighbor told police she noticed a white pickup truck going slowly down NW 4th Court, turn down NW 3rd Court, where it stopped several times. As the witness watched, two males got out of the truck and walked up to a house and removed several hurricane shutters that were leaning against the house. As the neighbor called police to report the crime, the suspects put the aluminum shutters in the back of their truck and drove off.

Responding officers located the vehicle about a mile away and stopped it. Officers made contact with the driver, Kenneth Hawkins, and passenger, Andrew Rozier. Both suspects told officers they were in Boca Raton to collect scrap from local businesses. They added that they were driving through the residential area when they saw the shutters leaning against a home so they decided to take them. The witness identified the two suspects as the men she observed taking the shutters. Officers arrested and charged both with burglary to a residence, which includes offenses committed in the area immediately around the home.

Man steals jewelry from St. Moritz Jewelers Boca Raton, FL – On Thursday, January 9 at about 1:30 p.m., Boca Raton Police officers responded to a theft of jewelry from St. Moritz Jewelers, 21310 St. Andrews Boulevard. The store sales clerk told officers she was assisting another customer when she buzzed in a male at the door. The male told the clerk he was looking for an engagement ring and a tennis bracelet. The clerk showed the suspect one bracelet and he said he wanted to look at wedding rings. They went to another case and she showed

him a ring. The suspect tried on the ring then handed it back to the clerk. The suspect took one piece from the clerk’s hand and after a brief pause he picked up a piece from the counter and ran out the door. The suspect fled north then ran east to the rear of the plaza. The jewelry was valued at over $8,000. The clerk was not injured. If anyone knows the suspect or has information about this crime, they are asked to call Detective James Giumenta at (561) 3381303 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at (800) 458-TIPS.

West Boca McDonald’s manager accused of theft By CRA News Service The general manager of a West Boca McDonald’s was arrested and charged after she was accused of stealing nearly $5,000 from secured deposits. Authorities arrested Nadia AbiRoud Hende, 36, of Coconut Creek, on Jan. 6 on charges of grand theft and organized scheme to defraud. She was released hours later on $9,000 bail. Deputies were called to the restaurant at State Road 7 and Glades Road on Dec. 13 after its director of operations reported that a deposit of $4,887.50 was unaccounted for, according to the arrest report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office. The deposit was supposed to have been made Dec. 5. However, records from Garda, the company scheduled to collect the deposit, showed that no pickup was made that day. Video surveillance showed that Abi-Roud Hende had access to the deposit on that date, the deputy wrote. The investigation revealed that

www.bocaratontribune.com

she routinely took unknown amounts of money from secured deposits and repaid those amounts later. By restoring the money, it would appear the money she had taken was never missing, The investigator said Abi-Roud Hende made “rolling deposits,” or took unknown portions of deposits and then added money to future deposits to make it appear as if money wasn’t missing, according to the report. The rolling deposits typically were held for one to three weeks. After the deposits were finally made, the amounts would then match McDonald’s internal reports. A McDonald’s executive told a sheriff ’s detective that the money is usually secured in a safe, then picked up by Garda, an armored truck service. But the detective talked with a Garda representative who said there was no pickup made on Dec. 5. As of Jan. 6, that money was still missing. Security footage shows Abi-Roud Hende as the only general manager dealing with the deposit, according to the report.

In a career of 25 years I have done all sorts of things. What I want most of all is to always get better.” Tommy Castro & The Painkillers will set sail Sunday, Jan. 19 from Fort Lauderdale on the 22nd Legendary Blues Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. “I’ve been on every blues cruise since 2005,” says Castro proudly. “I do two a year.

Tony’s Tips For Success

Entertainment Skip Sheffield A Funny, Topical “Hummingbird Wars” at Arts Garage Two new shows stand in stark contrast this week in area theaters. “Hummingbird Wars” is onstage through Feb. 2 at the Arts Garage in Delray Beach. “42nd Street” is running through Feb. 9 at the Wick Theatre (formerly Caldwell) in Boca Raton. The two productions could not be more different, but each is excellent in its own right. “Hummingbird Wars” is a premiere production of playwright Carter W. Lewis’s latest work. Lewis is a prolific, rising playwright whose work has been produced at prestigious theaters across the country, including the now-defunct Florida Stage, whose artistic director Louis Tyrrell now heads the theater program at Arts Garage. “Hummingbird Wars,” directed by Tyrrell’s friend Greg Johnson of the Montana Repertory Theatre, is inspired by the ongoing war in Afghanistan and its aftermath. Todd Allen Durkin plays Warren, a decorated Afghan war hero who has returned to his suburban Minnesota family. Warren’s family situation is as creaky and cracked as the foundation of their shoddy house. You could say Warren is suffering from post-war traumatic stress syndrome, as he has been home a full year yet remains in a fog of depression and apathy. His family is of scant comfort. Wife Mel (Jeni Hacker) between her job and various advocacy crusades, is hardly ever at home. Son Pete (Andrew Griner, Jr.), 15, is sullen and incommunicative, and inexplicably “finds” guns. Kate (Gretchen Porro)), 19 has come out as a lesbian, and wants her girlfriend Tracy (Joline Mujica) to come and live with her. Surprisingly “Hummingbird Wars” is quite funny, with Todd Allen Durkin basically playing a deadpan straight man to the nutty types around him. The play is quite short and performed without intermission, so if you don’t like it, you won’t have wasted much time. Tickets are $25-$35. Call 561450-6357. A Lavish, Lovely “42nd Street”

January 17, through January 23, 2014

at Wick Theatre Pure joy: that’s what the Wick Theatre production of “42nd Street” is all about. Wick Theatre, successor to Caldwell, has pulled out the stops for this bright, beautiful, lavishlycostumed big tap dance musical, based on the much-loved 1933 movie, which in turn was based on a novel by Bradford Ropes, “42nd Street” debuted in 1980 as the final effort by famed directorchorographer Gower Champion. The musical has enjoyed several revivals, but it has been several years since it has been seen in South Florida. “42nd Street” is essentially a Broadway star-is-born fable, with a naïve ingénue named Peggy Sawyer (the excellent Julie Kleiner) getting her one shot at stardom when a show’s vain, egotistical star Dorothy Brock (Aaron Bower) suffers an accident the day before opening night. All of the characters are stereotypes, which is part of the show’s raffish charm. There is the bombastic, dictatorial yet realist director Julian Marsh (Jim Ballard), the seen-it-all playwright and den mother Maggie Jones (Missy McArdle), the obsequious co-author of the fictional musical “Pretty Lady,” the friendly, supportive “Anytime Annie” (Alison McCartan), the rich gullible producer Abner Dillon (Alan Gerston) and the guileless juvenile male lead Billy Lawlor (Alex Jorth). Director Norb Joerder and choreographer Ron Hutchins have cast the show with an eye for dancers, for “42nd Street” is nothing if not a tap-dancing extravaganza. It does not disappoint. Combine this with lovable tunes like the title song, “We’re in the Money,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo” and the “Lullaby of Broadway” and you have a show that is virtually impossible not to like. Top this off with the exquisite costumes from the Wick Museum and you have a theatrical treat that is downright intoxicating. Tickets are $58 and well worth it. Call 561-995-2333 or go to www. thewick.org.

What if all the Skittles were RED?

Can you imagine a world with nothing but red Skittles? The variety of flavors and colors are what makes Skittles so good! Now imagine if we were all the same. Same hair, same eye color, same likes, same dislikes, how boring would that be. Imagine if you were competing for an event, but everyone was the same. There would be no winner...Just a tie! Being different is actually what brings us closer together. “Variety is the Spice of Life!” Take a minute to read this Poem by Robert Frost. “THE ROAD NOT TAKEN” by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. In Frost’s poem he talks discusses how he chose to be Different! He chose to go down the road that had not been traveled by the Majority of people. It’s important to know that we are all individuals and as individuals we each have different Goals, Aspirations and Dreams. In order to be successful we have to break from the pack and follow our own course and journey down the road less traveled. This being understood, it is important to understand while we make our own choices in life and our own decisions about our future, so do those around us. Just like we must break out and travel down our own road, We must accept that our friends and neighbors will also choose their own path. We should not look down on them because they choose a different road, but praise them on their journey to success. That is what brings us close that is the “Spice of Life”. Knowing that we are all different and yet all here to support one another. Do you want to be in a bag full of red Skittles, or in a Bag full of Different color Skittles?

Delray Beach roofing company fined $154K in worker’s electrocution By CRA News Service A local commercial and residential roofing contractor is facing four federal safety violations and $154,000 in penalties in the electrocution of a worker last year, according to authorities. Tim Graboski Roofing Inc. of Delray Beach was slapped with two willful and two serious violations for exposing workers to falls and electrocution hazards at two different jobsites, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. “Tim Graboski Roofing has repeatedly failed to address the fall hazards associated with roofing work,” said Condell Eastmond, OSHA’s area director in Fort Lauderdale. “The company needs to correct the pattern of exposing workers to falls and other workplace hazards immediately, which resulted in this tragic loss of life.” The company did not immediately

respond Friday (Jan. 3) to a request for comment. However, an OSHA spokesman said Tim Graboski Roofing had contested the citations and scheduled an informal conference. The case involved the death of Anthony Nunez, 21, of Boca Raton, who was attempting to reposition a metal extension ladder when it made contact with overhead electrical power lines on June 27, 2013, at a residential job site in Boca Raton, OSHA said. The two-story home was being re-roofed. The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to local reports. A second inspection occurred on July 23, when OSHA authorities passed by a residential work site in Cooper City and observed workers exposed to fall hazards. The agency imposed two serious violations relating to the fatality. The contractor is accused of directing

a worker to use a metal extension ladder to access a rooftop near highvoltage power lines that were not deenergized, grounded or guarded. The employer allowed the Nunez to use the ladder lacking nonconductive side rails near the lines, according to OSHA. Both serious violations carried a $7,000 fine. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known. The willful citation on June 27 involved exposing workers to fall hazards of about 30 feet by not ensuring use of a fall-protection system. The alleged violation carries a fine of $70,000. The willful citation on July 23 involved workers engaged in residential construction up to 19 feet above ground without guardrail systems, a safety net system, a

personal fall arrest system, or any alternative fall protection measure. The agency also imposed a $70,000 penalty for that citation. A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law’s requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health. A review of OSHA records for 2013 found the company was fined $6,300 for a serious violation related to fall protection and a $9,000 violation for a repeat offense also related to fall protection in January. That case remains open, according to OSHA. In April 2013, Tim Graboski Roofing was also fined $2,100 for serious and $7,000 for repeat hazards related to fall protection. Those penalties were lowered to $1,960 and $3,500, respectively, through informal conferences.

Delray Beach man, Wall Street exec killed in Boca crash By Hugh Morley A veteran financial executive, who rose from his roots in Bergen County, NJ, to a high-level career in equity sales and marketing, was remembered recently as generous and humble man with a love for motorcycles and sporty cars. Robert W. Norton, 61, of Delray Beach, was killed Dec. 31 in a motorcycle crash when he was thrown from his 2006 HarleyDavidson as it collided with a 2009 Mini Cooper that had turned into his lane in Boca Raton, according to a report by the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash is under investigation. Norton, who worked at a division of Shearson Lehman/American Express for 25 years, also had a home in Beach Haven, N.J. He graduated in 1970 from Bogota High School, where he was known for his athletic ability and concern for others. “He was just a great gentleman, a good guy,” said Roger Bayersdorfer, Boca Life & Arts

the interim principal at Mahwah’s Betsy Ross Elementary school and a former superintendent in River Edge and Franklin Lakes, who was in the same class as Norton. “You would never know that Bob was such a successful businessman, because he was humble,” said Bayersdorfer, who kept in touch with Norton for years. William “Pat” Schuber, the former Bergen County executive who attended the high school at the same time as Norton, noted the entries in the Bogota High School yearbook proved prescient. It listed Norton as most popular in his class, and the “most ambitious.” A member of the bowling and cross country teams, Norton listed “money” among the things he liked. Norton received a bachelor’s degree in business from Montclair State University in 1974 and an MBA in marketing from Seton Hall University in 1977, according to his profile page on LinkedIn.com. Owning and caring for Harleys,

Camaros and Corvettes were a lifelong passion, according to his stepdaughter, Lauren Gray. “He was meticulous in his attention to detail,” said Gray, adding that he had a similar approach to his work. Norton joined Lehman Management, the investment division of Shearson Lehman/ American Express Inc., in 1984. At Ark Asset Management Co., which grew out of the Shearson unit, he rose to managing director and head of marketing during a 25-year career. Since 2009, Norton had been executive vice president and director of equity sales and marketing for Houston-based Smith Graham, working in New York City and Florida. The company had acquired assets from Ark in 2009, when Ark was on its way out of business, having been accused of fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Rather than retire, Norton led a group of Ark executives who joined

www.bocaratontribune.com

Smith Graham, so that his colleagues would not suffer from Ark’s failure, his wife, Karen Norton, said in an interview. “He did it for his friends,” she said. Ed and Carole Shanley, former Clifton residents who were Norton’s neighbors in Beach Haven, said he was in the process of retiring, having sold a house in New Providence, and was splitting his time between Beach Haven - sporadically working in New York - and Florida. “He was very friendly; very generous,” said Edward Shanley, who said he and Norton co-owned a 25-foot boat that sank during superstorm Sandy. Carole Shanley said Norton had a Harley Davidson at each of his New Jersey and Florida homes, and was very safety conscious. He was preparing to take a trip to Costa Rica, where he went every year for a motorcycle-riding vacation with friends, she said. “He loved motorcycles.” January 17, through January 23, 2014

Police impersonators accused of beating man outside fast food restaurant By Jason Schwartz Some people started their New Year in a house of worship, in the safety of their homes or out with other revelers. But two wannabe cops spent their New Years in the Palm Beach County jail after they beat a man outside a Checkers restaurant in the block next door the police station, the real Delray Beach police said. Police have charged John Woodcock, 26, of Lake Worth and Michael Wade, 27, of Delray Beach with battery and impersonating a law enforcement officer. Angus Boulin told officers he was waiting for his food outside the restaurant in the 400 block of West Atlantic Avenue shortly before 4 a.m. on New Year’s Day when the duo approached him and asked him if he was the guy. “Sure, I’m the guy,” Bulin, 24, responded. When one of the men asked, “Where’s my money?” and Bulin said he didn’t know what he was talking about, the suspects attacked him, police said. Wade grabbed Boulin, pushed him up against a Checkers sign and put him down on the ground,

police said. Woodcock allegedly started punching and kicking Boulin. “Spread your legs and show me your palms,” the suspects ordered Boulin, police said. They were also allegedly tried to get Boulin’s hands behind his back, according to the report. Police arrived and found the victim on the ground. One of the suspects was on top of the victim while the other suspect stood by watching, the officer wrote. Several witnesses told police they saw Woodcock and Wade standing outside the restaurant talking then they began attacking the victim. The officer wrote that both men shouted “they were the police” and when one of the witnesses tried to intervene, Woodcock “opened his wallet and pretended to show law enforcement identification.” One witness told police he heard one of the men yelling, “Delray police! Delray police!” One of several witnesses also heard one of the men swearing and shouting at Boulin to hand over $40. Boulin said the men appeared to have been drunk.

Opening Day at the International Polo Club

The opening day of polo season at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, and the season-opening Herbie Pennell Cup final match, was postponed when a thunderstorm hit and the field was determined to be “unplayable.” Spirits, however, were not dampened, and the indoor parties continued at the Mallet Grille, the 7th Chukker, and The Pavilion. Polo enthusiasts caught up with friends, sported the latest fashions, and were entertained by DJ Adam Lipson. The ever-popular “Fashion on the Field” competition during halftime, sponsored by Veuve Clicquot and The Gardens Mall, was postponed a week, although scene-stealing fashion was on full display. Each week the most fashionable guest will win a coveted bottle of Veuve Clicquot, along with a gift card to The Gardens Mall.

Red Zone Pizza Rocks Boca Raton

By Gina Onori BOCA RATON, Fla.- Two years ago Red Zone Pizza, located on Palmetto Park Road only seconds away from the beach, was opened by 48-year-old Kenny Fischer. Fischer came to Boca from New York City in 2002 with a background of entertainment and cabinet making yet no knowledge of the food industry. ‘I saw an ad on craigslist that said beachside pizzeria,” said Fischer. “It looked like a good investment and I knew someone who was really good at cooking pizza so I brought him in and he helped me learn how to do it.” According to Fischer it is everything he expected and more. “The community by the beach is a lot of fun and I have become a really good pizza maker, something that I never did before. It is a new and exciting trade for me.” Not only is the owner of Red Zone Pizza thrilled about the new restaurant, the customers are satisfied too. “Red Zone is in a great location,” said patron Angel Ameng. “You’ve

got the beach right here, this is a good vibe, good music, and great pizza.” The ambiance of the pizzeria radiates rock ‘n’ roll, reggae, and funk music as guitars hang along the walls and a keyboard lies behind the counter. Speakers blare Bob Marley, Sublime, and other rock legends that set a chill atmosphere ideal for the beach. The goal of Red Zone was to bring music to the Boca City beach with live reggae and rock performances, turning the pizzeria into the hottest rock and roll place in town. Kenny has kept his word by including bands such as The Red Band to bring live performances into the restaurant. What is more, the pizza is phenomenal. It is astonishing that Fischer was taught by a friend a few years ago and is ever so talented. “Our most popular item on the menu is white pizza with fresh tomato basil, tomato and ricotta cheese,” said Fischer. “It is the best anywhere.” What Fischer does struggle with is keeping business booming on the rainy Florida days. Because Red Zone is extremely close and intermingled with the Boca Beach, Fischer strives to keep customers coming on these days. As for the future, “in five years I see us being a prime spot fresh off of the beach,” said Fischer.

Homes Inside and Joshua Carlson Out Using Your Money Wisely to Purchase a Home: Part 1 Exciting things are happening! You are purchasing a home. It’s very important to know what you are spending your money on so to prepare a budget is very important. There is a difference with “Making a Budget” and “Making Your Budget Work For You”. First let’s focus on developing making an effective budget and record-keeping system. These systems should be set in place before applying for a loan. You need to show that you and your family know how to manage money. This will protect you from making a major financial commitment that you either can or cannot afford. I know in the last column I stated the “B” word Budget. If you do not like the word “Budget” you can call it a “spending plan” or whatever you would like. Naming it helps encourage and master the technique which makes your money work for you. Just remember what it is and what it is supposed to do. It’s a flexible plan to help you get the best possible outcome for your money and to reach your ultimate goal, buying a home. I like to keep things simple. My clients and I have used this 6-Step System when making a budget. Step 1: Set Your Goals: Whether is it to go on vacation, buying a home or car you must sit down and speak with your family in reference to what goals you are trying to obtain. Think about your goals in 2 different aspects: Short-term and Long-term Goals. Make sure you write them down.

Step 2: Estimate Your Income: This is the foundation for a good budget. Take a look at your income from last year. What was it? What changes in income do you think you will incur for the next year? Once you have that down, let’s go to Step 3. Step 3: Analyze Your Recent Spending: If you already keep a record of your expenses, take time to study and analyze it over the past year or the past few months and see where you stand. Are there things you can cut back on? For example, maybe you can eat at home more often instead of going out to dinner all the time. If you do not have a record, start writing down your expenditures and analyze it. A very wise and successful man once explained it like this: “If you don’t know where you are going, how do you expect to get there? Sit and write down what your trying to achieve, the end result (YOUR GOALS). Next, figure out where you currently stand (INCOME/LIFE/ ANALYZE) and then plan out the road map to get there (PLAN/ CREATE). Then put that plan into action. You can plan all day long but without the action in the right direction it is very unlikely you will get there.” The point of making the Budget is to send you in the right direction. Next week we will focus on Steps 4 thru 6 which incorporates “Making Your Budget Work For You”. Stay tuned…

FAITH

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE

By Robert J. Tamasy

By Mike Gora

A Better Solution Than Butting Heads

No Place Like Home

Some time ago, we looked at consequences of submitting to the insistent demands of our egos, doing whatever is necessary to ensure getting what we desire. Recently I came across an illustration from nature that demonstrates the virtues of very different behavior. The story comes from Ulrich Zwingli, a leader of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland in the early 1500s. He and Martin Luther, the catalyst for the Reformation, were locked in a serious dispute, and Zwingli was at a loss in trying to resolve the conflict. He found the solution one morning while gazing at the side of a mountain. He observed two goats approaching each other on a narrow path on the mountainside, one going up and the other going down. Upon seeing one another they stopped, then lowered their heads. It appeared they were about to charge each other. However, instead of butting heads, the goat ascending the mountain lay down on the path. The descending goat was able to step over the other’s back, and the animals were able to proceed unimpeded. If the goats had chosen to butt heads, one may have prevailed. But the result might also have been disastrous for both. So one bowed before the other, in effect humbling itself, which eventually enabled it to advance higher. How often do we see instances in the business and professional world of two or more people fixed on their goals and objectives, determined to not let anything stand in their way? When they do encounter opposition, they insist on butting heads, battling to a bitter and sometimes bloody conclusion. But consider the lesson Zwingli

learned from the goats. One of them deferred briefly to the other, leading to a “win-win” outcome. Would not this approach have merit for resolving workplace conflicts? This principle finds ample support in the Bible. Here are some of the things it has to say: Go lower to get higher. Being willing to defer to the interests of another should not be onesided. Both benefit when they are willing to “submit” or be “subject” to one another.Just as a submarine goes under water, submitting or being subject to others means intentionally putting oneself under another.“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5:21). Superiors and subordinates should yield to one another. The customary business model is for superiors to exert their authority over those that report to them, but the best leaders are ones having the interests of their employees at heart. “Slaves (employees), obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ…. And masters (superiors), treat your slaves (employees) in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven…” (Ephesians 6:5-9). Work with an attitude of humility toward coworkers – and to God. Rather than demanding your desires, relating humbly toward others can win their good favor and support. ”Be submissive to those who are older…clothe yourselves with humility toward one another” (1 Peter 5:5-6). “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourselves, then, to God” (James 4:6-7).

Q: We have twin girls. We lived in another state until the girls were in second grade. We then moved to Pompano, so that I could take a job offer, a significant advancement in my career. My, wife, who had been teaching elementary school in our old home state, looked into public elementary school education in our neighborhood. She was not happy about what he found. We could not afford a private school. She suggested home schooling the children. I was against it, and told her so. I didn’t want the girls to grow up and be educated without having the benefit of having to deal with other children of the same age, and teachers who were not their parents. We compromised. We agreed that the girls could be home schooled, through fifth grade, but would go to a public middle school, and high school when the time came. Our agreement was not written. Our daughters have finished about one half of fifth grade. My wife and I are going through a divorce, in which I filed the petition. She has, conveniently forgotten our verbal agreement, and insists that she be allowed to continue home schooling, at least through middle school, and, perhaps, high school, which I do not want her to do. Can the judge in our divorce case address this issue? A: Your children’s best interests must be taken into consideration by the judge. That consideration will, if properly raised by the pleadings, include the school issues. If your petition for dissolution of your marriage does not specifically raise this issue, your lawyer should file an amended petition. If your petition did not raise the issue but your wife’s counter-petition did, that would be sufficient once you denied her request in your answer to her counter-petition. Since you have agreed to home school through fifth grade, the judge will have time to decide what happens next, before your girls are ready to enter middle school,

next fall. The judge will have two ways to resolve the conflict. Your attorney and your wife’s counsel will have to be prepared to put on a case that addresses either of the judge’s choices. The judge can either make a choice between the public middle school and home schooling based upon an evaluation of the success of the home schooling verses the quality of the middle school available in your neighborhood. The State of Florida grades the schools through the FCAT process, which is currently being revised. Testing is available for children being home schooled, privately. The FCAT process might be available through the state, but you will need to check on that. If the judge goes in that direction he, or she, may want the decision to cover high school as well, unless you and your wife can agree on that issue in advance. The judge is going to look for a way to end the case that will not bring it back into court after three years, for a high school determination. The second alternative available to the judge would be to delegate to one of you, total control over all educational matters, even though you will have shared parental responsibility on other matters. Your or your wife would, under such a final judgment, not be required to consult or agree with the other on any further school decisions. There is no way to accurately predict which method the judge will use. Your wife may have an edge, as a schoolteacher. However, if progress tests show that your children under perform public school children in progress tests, you may be the parent selected to make the decisions. Perhaps it would be wise to have private and/or public testing, or both given to you daughters, as soon as possible, so that this issue can be intelligently litigated and discussed when you sit down with your attorneys and a mediator.

Glanton recorded 75 tackles in 2013including eight for a loss and two and a half sacks for a loss of 20 yards. Glanton was also awarded the Ramon Rickards “Bone Award” given to the team’s hardest hitter. The duo join a list of 14 Owls who have played in post-season all-star games beginning with Jared Allen, currently on the football staff, and Chris Laskowski in 2004 and the last FAU player to participate in a bowl game was Alfred Morris in 2011.

Lynn kept on pace with Florida Southern for the majority of the first half. The lead changed eight times 11 times in the first half with Lynn taking its largest lead of three with 13:05 remaining in the half. The Mocs finished the half on a 14-5 run to lead 46-36 at the half. The Fighting Knights shot 50 percent from the field while holding the Florida Southern to 48.6 percent

from the field. The Mocs capitalized on turnovers by Lynn and outrebounded the Blue & White 20-16.

Sophomore Andrei Morin-Kougoucheff pushed his match with Gabriel Flores to three sets before falling to the UM senior 6-0, 3-6, 6-2. Robert Dubuque also

extended his match against UM’s Henrique Tsukamoto to three sets. Dubuque lost the first set 6-3 before coming back and winning the second set 6-5.

FAU Basketball Rallies to Defeat Rice 73-68

A career-high 19 points from Marquan Botley and Justin Raffington’s fourth straight doubledouble helped the Florida Atlantic University men’s basketball team rally to defeat Rice 73-68 on Saturday. The game was tied 7-7 early in the first half when Rice (5-10, 0-2 C-USA) when on a 19-4 run to take a 26-11 lead. FAU (5-11, 1-1 C-USA) clawed its way back into striking distance, and went into the halftime break trailing just 30-25. Pablo Bertone scored the first five points of the second half to tie the game. For the next several minutes, the two teams exchanged baskets, neither side taking a lead larger than three points. Rice shot 48 percent from the floor in the first half, but FAU held their opponents to only one field goal during a stretch of more than 10 minutes in the second stanza. By the time the drought ended, FAU had built a nine-point lead with less than six minutes to go. It was Texas’ version of the Owls turn to fight their way back into

contention. Keith Washington hit a layup to cut FAU’s lead to one, 65-64 at the 2:41 mark. Bertone nailed a pair of free throws, but Sean Obi’s putback cut the margin back down to a single point. Botley and D’Andre Johnson each split a pair of free throws to push the lead back to three. Max Guercy drew a foul and made a pair from the charity stripe, but Johnson matched him on the other end to keep FAU’s lead at three. Rice had the ball and a chance to tie the game with 19 seconds left, but FAU’s defensive pressure forced a turnover. Jackson Trapp hit two free throws to provide the final margin. The victory comes almost a year to the day since FAU’s last victory outside of Boca Raton, a 65-62 win at Western Kentucky on January 12, 2013. Raffington’s double-double (11 points, 12 rebounds) is his fifth on the season. All 14 of Trapp’s points came in the second half, while Bertone led all scorers with 20 and tied his careerhigh with seven assists.

method accepted through the Visa presale and is the preferred card of U.S. Soccer. Terms and conditions apply. The U.S. team will travel from its Jan. 31 match against Canada in Frisco, Texas, to South Florida in preparation to face Russia. This will be the second appearance for the U.S. Women at FAU Stadium. The WNT ended a fantastic 2012 there with a 4-1 victory against China PR. This will be the USA’s fourth game in the past 14 months in the state of Florida. The USA has not faced Russia in more than a decade, with the last meeting coming on Sept. 29, 2002, a 5-1 U.S. victory in Uniondale, N.Y. Russia put in a respectable performance in group play at last summer’s UEFA Women’s Championship, falling to France 3-1 before tying England and Spain, both by 1-1 scores. “It’s always a positive to play countries that we maybe haven’t seen that often,” said U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Tom Sermanni. “The Russians have some talented players and with eight European countries qualifying for the next Women’s World Cup, every country in that tournament is going to have to navigate some very difficult European opponents.”
