Holly and Tommy Robson of The Acreage dance the night away at a concert by the Eagles tribute band The Long Run on March 23 during the three-day grand opening celebration of Royal Palm Beach Commons Park. The village’s 65-acre former golf course has a two-story pavilion building for special events and plenty of water activities including paddle boats and kayaks and a 10-acre Great Lawn for large festivals.
DANCING IN THE PARK Thousands of area residents turned out to enjoy the three-day grand opening festivities at Royal Palm Beach Commons Park. By RON HAYES Palms West Monthly
ROYAL PALM BEACH — On most any given day, Royal Palm Beach’s new Commons Park offers 162 acres of gently rolling lawns, peaceful waters and quiet picnic pavilions where village residents and visitors alike can find rest, recreation and serenity. However, Saturday, March 23, was not that day. Midway through the park’s three-day Grand Opening celebration, country music blasted from the Royal Palm Auto Mall stage, martial arts students broke boards by the Fountain Plaza, helicopter rides swooped overhead and the Great Lawn was circled by a “Food Truck Invasion” of burgers and dogs, lobster rolls, tacos and Philly cheese steaks. In between the food trucks, other vendors offered dog beds, underwater photography and “aromatherapy with shea infused butter.” There was Lite beer for the grown-ups, Cocacola for the kids – and compliments all around. “It’s fabulous!” gushed Patty Donovan, touring the park with her grandson, Joshua, 7. “It’s someplace you can bring the kids. Get them off their video games and let them run around.” She had only one complaint as the noonday sun blazed down. “A little more shade, please,” she said, “a little more shade.” Shade will take a little more time. The 4,000 trees planted to turn a former golf course into a bucolic park need years to grow. But the park

itself has emerged from that vanished golf course only slightly over budget and behind schedule. “We’re pushing to have our Fourth of July celebration there,” Mayor Domenic “Matty” Mattioli said in October 2011, when the park was expected to cost $18 million. Saturday, the mayor sat in the shade of the park’s Banquet Garden, sipping a Bud Lite, ponSEE PARK / PAGE 15

Hospice of Palm Beach County hosted its annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at the Kravis Center

Nice and Easy by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com
Where’s Ghost Busters when you really need them? Unexplained happenings has Ernie believing his house is haunted, but he thinks he has the trick to get on the ghost’s good side. Over the last couple of months a lot of unusual things have been happening in my house. And I’m not talking about my recent and well-documented episode with a rat. Things that have no good explanation as to why they happen have been, well, happening. And it seems that most of the strange and unexplained things that are occurring are happening right in my own bedroom. The other night when I went to turn on the bedroom TV, no matter how hard I pressed down on the remote control the TV would not go on. I changed the batteries – that didn’t help. I tried the buttons on the TV, that didn’t help either. Then I noticed that the red light on the HD TV that turns into a blue light when the TV goes on wasn’t working. I checked all the sockets, the cable box and then I noticed the cable was no longer connected to the back of the TV. I woke Sharon from a very sound and deep sleep and demanded to know why she pulled the cable link out of the back of the TV. She didn’t have a clue as to what I was talking about and just rolled over and went back to sleep.
The very next night I noticed the clock on the night table by my bed was not the right time. It was off by exactly one hour. Once again, Sharon had no idea what I was talking about. A few days later I called the house for messages and my recorded outgoing message on the answering machine had been changed to the default message that the machine provides. The next day, right after midnight, the shelves in my almost-empty closet mysteriously decided to come tumbling down. At this point, I couldn’t help but have fleeting thoughts that our house has become haunted. After a day or two I came to the realization that there are no such things as ghosts, and I just tried to shrug off the strange occurrences of the past couple of weeks. That night I found the TV in the living room on, and no one was in there. Sharon swore that she didn’t get up in the middle of the night to turn the TV on. So now I’m wondering, is believing in ghosts that crazy? Could we be living in a haunted house? Never in my life have I believed in ghosts, but I must be starting to believe in them
now, because my imagination is wreaking havoc on my mind. Now, when I wake up in the middle of the night because I hear a noise or two, I am starting to see a human-like figure darting across the bedroom. Of course, after rubbing my eyes a couple of times, there is no human figure in sight. A search of my house revels the same results – nothing. And now on those nights when I lay awake in bed, the theme song from “Ghost Busters” is always playing inside my head. Believe me, out of all the
songs I would like to hear playing in my head, the “Ghost Buster” song is not one of them. My house is not an old house, no one lived here before me. So I can’t say that maybe some prior owners are coming back for a visit. I also don’t believe that the house was built on an old Indian burial ground or anything like that. I’m so perplexed that I’m now wondering if that darn rat that invaded our house for months has come back from the dead for a visit. No matter the cause of this mysterious ghost, one thing is for certain: I need to stay on its good side. I figure, if you have to share
your house with a ghost, you might as well try to get along. In a show of friendship, I am going to start leaving milk and cookies out at night. I sure hope my friendly ghost likes Girl scout cookies, because I still have about 10 boxes left. Ernie Zimmerman, a retired New York City police officer and Vietnam veteran, walks at least three miles a day and takes life nice and easy in Wellington, where he and his wife Sharon have lived for more than 28 years.

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com
Area horsemen remain diligent in face of EHV-1 outbreak Consequence of equine herpes disease reduced by ESP management and horsemen acting appropriately. During a recent conversation about the EHV-1 (Equine Herpes Virus) outbreak that affected Wellington, I said, “Yes, we dodged the proverbial bullet.” Hindsight being what it is, I’m changing my opinion. A Feb. 21 news release stated, “Efforts are being made to control transport
of horses to and from the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center after a positive case of the EHV-1 virus was reported yesterday in Ocala, Florida.” What is Ocala’s role in the horse industry? It is the second largest East Coast winter show circuit. Since the grounds

are about four hours north, equestrian professionals relish the proximity to travel and transport horses between the two show series and get business done. But how did the virus infiltrate Wellington? The rumor mill says “someone” let the horses leave a quarantine facility before the required stay had been satisfied. But why let the horses leave quarantine early? The following weekend, Wellington hosted a Nations Cup Qualifier, the Puissance, the VDL Sport Horse Auction and important qualifying classes at the Global Dressage Festival. There were also big money classes happening in Ocala. Equestrian Sports Productions announced precautionary measures, including biosecurity protocols, for the safety of the horses on the PBIEC property, including a ban on any horses arriving from Ocala. Measures also stated, “No horses will be allowed to ship onto the PBIEC property (both WEF and GDF grounds at the Stadium) without a health certificate within 48 hours of arriving … and must arrive during daylight hours.” A press release on Feb. 27 brought more news: “Five additional horses that are linked to the HITS Show in Ocala have tested positive for EHV-1 wild type. Four of the five are located at Miles Away Farm in Loxahatchee, Florida.” The release continued, “One horse not believed to be linked with any of the HITSassociated quarantined premises has also been positive for EHV-1. This horse is located at Tequestrian Farm in Wellington, Florida.” The HITS [Ocala] Showgrounds have been placed under quarantine. An Incident Command Team comprised of state and fed-
eral personnel is being mobilized.” There are pre-emptive vaccines, but the physical consequence of EHV-1 to an infected horse is usually death. The virus impairs the neurological system, often beyond repair. The disease is transmitted among horses by contact, including nasal fluid exchange. Imagine a classroom of sneezing children during cold and flu season. Another press release on Feb. 27 stated, “A horse stabled in Grand Prix Village (outside of PBIEC) has been tested for EHV-1. The nasal PCR swab tested negative, but the blood test was positive. There are no sick horses on PBIEC property.” The horse that was tested was never on the PBIEC property. However, two horses from that Grand Prix Village Farm were moved into the “FEI Stabling” at PBIEC. Since those two horses from Grand Prix Village were in the same barn as the horse that tested positive through blood and were then in FEI Stabling, the State of Florida Department of Agriculture has temporarily closed FEI Stabling... until tests come back at approximately 4 pm tomorrow, February 28. And in the spirit of P.T. Barnum … the show went on, due in large part to smart, focused ESP management and willing horsemen at all levels. We didn’t dodge anything, we just managed disaster. I’m still scratching my head over why we had to deal with this at all. Laura Danowski is the owner of Heads-Up Media, specializing in equestrian promotion. A former circuit competitor, she now resides on her lay-up facility in Loxahatchee.

Completion of Commons Park marks villages’ ‘biggest job’ over last 20 years PARK / FROM PAGE 1
dering a Philly cheese steak and feasting on a dream come true. “It cost $21 million,” Mattioli said. “We’ve finally finished the biggest job I’ve seen in my 20 years on the council, and taxes haven’t gone up a dime.” He surveyed the lawn, the crowds, the lakes. “Our big decision was to keep it passive,” he said. “No ballparks or football fields. We have two sand volleyball courts and a driving range, but that’s it. Oh, and we’re going to build a 3-acre dog park. The community needs to be proud of what they have here. This is really a regional park, not just a community park.” Lou Recchio, the village’s parks and recreation director for the past 17 years, was patrolling the park with a satisfied smile. “It’s hectic today,” he said, “but smooth. A good hectic. There’s not a facility like this in Palm Beach County with the amenities and programs that can compete.” The heart of the park is the Great Lawn, 10 acres of open space. (New York’s Central Park has a Great Lawn, too. That Great Lawn is 55 acres, but hey, it’s New York City.) “I call our Great Lawn the Big Apple because from the air
it looks like an apple,” Recchio says, and he’s right. Surrounded by a winding lake, the Great Lawn does indeed resemble an apple from above, with the narrow stem at the north end dominated by the three-story, 10,000-squarefoot Sporting Center featuring a banquet hall on the top floor. As Recchio spoke, the winding waters that hug the apple was home to kayaks and paddle boats being rented by King Kayak Watersports. The company, which also operates in the county’s Okeeheelee Park, offers kayaks and paddle boats, paddle boards, canoes and hopes to add bicycles for the landlubbers. Rentals range from
$13-$20 an hour. All afternoon buses from the parking lot along Royal Palm Beach Boulevard shuttled visitors two and from the park. Some visitors explored, some played on the swings or frolicked in the fountain. And some, like Joe and Anna Moreau and their 8-year-old Maltese, Holly, found a bench and watched the passing parade. “It’s convenient to our home,” said Anna Moreau, 79. “The parking’s very handy, the facilities are excellent, there are lots of activities for children and you can bring your dog.” And the evening shade arrived, nightfall came – and the fireworks erupted.

Broward Center for the Performing Arts Ryan Gosling stars as Luke and Eva Mendes stars as Romina in Focus Features’ “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
‘Place Beyond the Pines’ too self-serious By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Writer
The first image you see in “The Place Beyond the Pines” is of Ryan Gosling’s shirtless torso, ripped and tatted atop a skintight pair of leather pants. Don’t get too excited. The long tracking shot that comes next is actually a better indication of where director and co-writer Derek Cianfrance is headed. His camera follows Gosling’s character from behind, Dardennes-style, through a garishly lighted traveling circus. Gosling’s bleach-blonde “Handsome Luke” lights a cigarette and strides calmly but purposefully through his depressing surroundings into a loud and crowded tent, where he confidently climbs onto a motorcycle before entering a ball-shaped cage with two other riders to perform a death-defying stunt. Over the next two-plus hours and across three connected stories, it will become clear that everything is very dramatic and everyone is doomed. Not a terribly novel concept but one that Cianfrance and co-writers Ben Coccio and Darius Marder hammer home with the utmost seriousness. Gosling previously worked with the director on the 2010 drama “Blue Valentine,” in which he played the husband in a young married couple (opposite an Oscar-nominated Michelle Williams) that was
slowly, irreparably crumbling. That story also was fraught with heartache but we actually felt something because the characters were complex and real and their relationship was vividly detailed. “The Place Beyond the Pines” aims admirably for an epic sense of Greek tragedy, and it does have some powerful individual moments, but the characters are all so underdeveloped that the whole effort feels like studied posturing. In this first section of Cianfrance’s triptych, Luke runs into Romina (Eva Mendes), a waitress he had a fling with when he was in town a year ago. Turns out her infant son is the child Luke was totally unaware he had. At the encouragement of a loner mechanic (an effectively creepy Ben Mendelsohn), Luke starts robbing banks to support the boy, even though he and the underwritten Romina would seem to have a stable life now with her new boyfriend (Mahershala Ali). This brings us to Bradley Cooper, who anchors the second section. Cooper and
Gosling’s paths cross only briefly in one scene, but it is, of course, pivotal. Cooper plays rookie police officer Avery Cross, who finds himself caught up with a group of more seasoned cops (led by Ray Liotta) who want to take him under their wing and make him part of their corrupt little gang. Cooper finds the understatement in his character’s conflict – his usual charisma is strangely muted here – but the theme of struggling to escape one’s past is overstated once more. Finally, Cianfrance skips ahead 15 years for part three. Luke’s son, Jason (now played by a wiry and intense Dane DeHaan), and Avery’s son, AJ (a swaggering, trash-talking Emory Cohen), happen to cross paths themselves on AJ’s first day at a new high school. Of all the tables in all the lunchrooms in all the world, he has to sit down at Jason’s. Naturally, they are destined to have their legacies destroy them, too. Ultimately, none of this registers the way it should because it’s so monotonously morose.

hopes to accomplish with Wellington’s five strategic initiatives: Neighborhood Renaissance: Creating and encouraging renewal, prosperity and stabilization of property values and keeping residents engaged; Economic Development: Promoting business education, and enhancing the standard of living; Protecting our Investment: Focusing on maintaining and improving longer term resources, while enhancing safety and addressing emergency needs; Responsive Government: Ensuring local government is responsive to the public and pursuing policies that are accountable to the stakeholders; Respecting the Environment: Developing processes which aim to provide affordable, clean, energy-saving alternatives for today’s residences and businesses; continually looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of operations to have a minimal impact and by seeking continuous improvement in our environmental management efforts, all with the goal of reducing the Village of Wellington’s ecological footprint and environmental impact. Focusing on these five specific areas, the Wellington staff are all meeting, discussing and identifying to provide the best possible budget. Efficiency is crucial, and all of our departments are working their hardest to keep the process, and the budget itself, as efficient as possible. I personally look forward to reviewing their hard work and ensuring all of our financial goals as a government are in line with our community’s ideals.
Balancing Wellington’s budget is a challenge that our Village Council is tackling head-on, but we need your input to help us decide what deserves funding. We want to know not only what programs and services you need, want, and are willing to pay for, but also what services we could simply do without. The Village of Wellington is posting an interactive Budget Challenge on its website at www.wellingtonfl.gov. It’s a simulation that allows residents to make decisions about how much funding certain services deserve, such as roads and pathways, the tennis center re-location and upcoming programming at the Amphitheater. Wellington will compile all of the results from the Budget Challenge and the data will be used to help us build a responsible and responsive budget. I strongly encourage you to visit the Events section of our website and take the Budget Challenge and make sure your friends and neighbors do the same. We are always open to innovative, money-saving ideas, so if you have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to call, email, or meet with me and my fellow Village Council members.

Outside the Neighborhood Police: Whistle-averse venience store that her car was stuck on the tracks. woman parks on Calif. mayor puts tracks lock-picking class in MONONGAHELA, Pa. — Police say a drunk and disorderly newsletter woman so dislikes train whistles that she parked her car on some southwestern Pennsylvania railroad tracks to stop trains from coming through town. Monongahela police Chief Brian Tempest tells the (Washington) Observer-Reporter that 42-year-old Bridgett Dixon was “sick and tired of hearing the horn blowing” though, he noted, “she doesn’t even live that close to the tracks.” Police found Dixon’s car parked on the tracks, with the driver’s door open and no keys in the ignition, about 11:30 p.m. on March 15. They found it after responding to a report of a woman screaming at a con-
more-than 40 percent jump in burglaries last year.
OAKLAND, Calif. — The mayor of a California city struggling with a spike in burglaries and other crimes is apologizing for promoting a class about how to pick locks in her newsletter. Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said she understood the reaction of people who were upset about a listing for the lock-picking class. She said she will do a better job reviewing listings in the future. The Oakland Tribune reports that the class – offered through the website, workshopweekend.net – was geared toward people who misplace their keys. But it didn’t go over well with some residents given the city’s crime woes, including a

Nun among 3 charged with illegal voting in Ohio
Portland replaces tree stolen from world’s smallest park
CINCINNATI — A southwest Ohio nun who voted on behalf of another nun who died before last year’s presidential election has been charged with illegal voting. The Hamilton County prosecutor in Cincinnati said Sister Marguerite Kloos was among three people charged with voting illegally. Defense attorney Ralph Kohnen says Kloos was trying to fulfill the wishes of a friend who died before absentee ballots were mailed. He says she’ll plead guilty. Prosecutors say a man faces the same count after he cast a ballot in November for his late wife. A poll worker also has been
Golf Course near Waterloo just southeast of St. Louis left him with a dislocated shoulder. Although Mihal says he still considers the course one of his favorites, he’s having second thoughts about returning there, saying “it’d be kind of strange playing that hole again, for sure.”
PORTLAND, Ore. — The world’s smallest park is no longer treeless. Portland Parks & Recreation spokesman Mark Ross says a Douglas Fir was planted recently at Mill Ends Park to replace the lone tree that someone stole. The 2-foot-diameter park lies in a median strip in downtown Portland near the Willamette River. It was established by newspaper columnist Dick Fagan in the 1940s and became an official city park in 1976. Though the tiny park doesn’t require much maintenance, the city does water, weed and trim when necessary. Ross says a motorist noticed the tree was gone. The thief has not been caught.
Fries anyone? Ketchup truck crash snarls Reno I-80
RENO, Nev. — They didn’t need any ambulances but they could have used some fries. What looked like a bloody mess on U.S. Interstate 80 in late February was just the aftermath of a wreck involving a semi-trailer truck hauling thousands of bottles of Heinz ketchup. The Reno Gazette-Journal reports no one was hurt when the truck driver swerved to avoid another vehicle and hit a bridge in the median on the west edge of town. The crash ripped open the trailer, dumping the load and snarling traffic more than an hour. Nevada Patrol Sgt. Janay Sherven said there was “red everywhere.” She told the newspaper, “No bodies, no people, just ketchup.” State transportation crews used snowplows to help clear the highway connecting Reno to Lake Tahoe.

Horoscope by Madame Hughes Aries (March 21 - April 20) You feel like it’s time to go. This is a hard one because there’s nothing intrinsically wrong here. You just want to do something else. People will take it personally until they see that doing your own thing is better for them. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) Something is coming to a perfect conclusion. No more delays or questions about who’s there for you and who isn’t. You’re free to proceed with this project or person, knowing that whatever happens from here on out will be good. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Material security is a big deal for
you. You’re so busy sitting in the counting house, you’re missing the point. Abundance comes from within. Focus on staying happy and money will come. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) You’ve moved through some incredible changes. Looking back, there’s a feeling of contentment that wasn’t there before. Savor the moment. Times like this exist to remind us that we’re lucky to be alive. Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) You’ve got all kinds of opportunities for love. Before you jump on any of them consider whose baggage you want to carry. Some of these candidates
for your affection aren’t what they appear to be. Choose carefully. Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) Being overpowered by someone who doesn’t play fair has made you question yourself. People who cheat to get what they want rarely succeed. They’re the ones who should be questioning themselves. Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) The truth usually hurts but it’s far more painful not to see it. You’re eyes are wide open, and as painful as this is, you are as free as a bird. Open up to the idea that everything happens for a reason. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You

relative. Your next lesson will teach you not to let your beliefs interfere with your experience of your own truth. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) What appears to be a shakedown is really a blessing. You can’t admit it but your life needed this. As you try to make sense of what’s left, don’t even try to resurrect anything that fell apart during this recent affair. Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) Your ideas are bigger than you are only in the sense that you don’t have the credentials or the connections to achieve them. That’s OK. It’s good to think big.

have plenty of reasons to be defensive. Whether it’s necessary in this situation is unclear. Don’t worry about being overwhelmed by forces you don’t have the power to contain. You are stronger than ever. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) You don’t need to know where this is going. Sometimes it’s better to enjoy the ride. You are making the right choice. Others may disagree, but in the end they will see that this is right for them, too. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Adhering too much to social guidelines takes all the fun out of life.
