A family views the fossil of an Archelon ischyros, the largest of all turtles living or extinct, at the Savage Ancient Seas Exhibit at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium.

CAUTION:

DINOSAURS ON DISPLAY By RON HAYES Palms West Monthly

WEST PALM BEACH — How do you prepare for an important visitor who’s 17 feet wide and weighs 4,500 pounds? You build a bigger science museum. The visitor is Archelon ischyros, the largest turtle ever to swim in the sea. You can gawk at its skeleton in the South Florida Science Center’s new exhibition hall, not far from Tylosaurus proriger, an aquatic lizard 45 feet long. The turtle has been extinct about 65 million years and the lizard nearly 73 million, but our science center has never been more alive. “Savage Ancient Seas: Dinosaurs of the Deep” is the first traveling exhibit to grace the center’s newly expanded, renovated and renamed museum. At a grand opening on June 7, the old South Florida Science Museum officially became the

South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, marking a $5 million expansion that’s seen it grow by a third, from 22,000 to 32,000 square feet. “We were this green building with purple trim and an old logo,” concedes Kate Arrizza, the center’s chief operating officer. “Now we want to be, not just a place where you go to look at science, but a place where you go to do science. The mind remembers what the hands have touched.” Now you can see everything from the real 2,000-year-old mummy of an Egyptian child to an Apollo astronaut’s space suit. At 8,000 gallons, the new aquarium is the largest between Miami and Orlando, home to sharks and stingrays, barracuda, moray eels and a “doughnuthole” design that lets visitors stand in the middle of a coral reef without getting wet. The 4,000 square-foot Florida Exhibit Hall is domi-

nated by an Everglades diorama featuring taxidermied animals native to the area. Press the appropriate button and you’ll hear the Florida panther’s cry or the spoonbill’s song – even the mosquito’s hum. And then there’s “Science in a Sphere,” a 6-foot globe of the Earth that displays data from NASA and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, tracking the movements of great white sharks, solar flares and hurricanes in real time. Oh, and there’s a new parking lot, too. The upgrade has been a long time coming. The South Florida Science Museum debuted on Oct. 21, 1961. “We were a product of the space race,” Arrizza says, “and the Junior League of the Palm Beaches were our founding mothers. Three years later, the fledgling museum doubled in size, and again in 1969. “The country grew,” says Arrizza, “but we didn’t.” Until now. In recent years, a plan to raise $54 million for a new center in Lake Lytal Park had to be abandoned as attendance dwindled and losses rose. Much of the credit for the center’s rebirth belongs to its new CEO, Lew Crampton, who arrived in 2010 to find the planetarium closed and the EXPANSION / PAGE 7

A group of 25 students, faculty and alumni from the Rinker School of Business at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach recently spent 10 days in Brazil during the school’s eighth annual Global Business Trip. The trip was led by Ann Langlois, associate professor of business. Prior to traveling to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, students spent a semester learning the challenges of doing business in developing countries, specifically Brazil. This trip was first-hand experience in the realities of the social, business and economic environments of Brazil, Langlois said. In Rio de Janeiro, the team visited Green My Favela, a nongovernmental organization working in the Rocinha favela. Rocinha is the largest of the seven favelas – or shantytowns – in Rio, with typical incomes of $100 per week. Green My Favela works with people in the Rocinha community to bring sustainable planting to the area. They convert small outdoor areas into gardens where fruits, vegetables and other greenery are planted that can then be sold at market. This allows residents to create their own sources of food and income. The students planted with residents and visited the favela’s after-school center to paint, teach English and play soccer. “The businesses we visited were more impressive than I BRAZIL / PAGE 9

Letters to the Editor

Doctor search strikes nerve with readers Editor’s Note: It would be an understatement to say we were a bit surprised by the number of emails we received regarding Ernie’s recent quest to find a new family doctor (“Searching for a new doctor can be a bitter pill to swallow,” July 2013 issue). Little did we realize we would hear from so many of our readers also desperately trying to find a family doctor with whom they can connect. Thank you to all who took the time to drop us an email. Below is a sample of the e-mails we received, all asking for the name of Ernie’s doctor. (And we’re proud to report that Ernie answered every single one of the emails!) For those readers still wondering who Ernie’s doctor is, it’s not too late to send him an email at ez@palmswestmonthly.com.

Reader looking for doctor who tells it like it is

Ernie, Please tell me who your doctor is. My husband and I have been struggling to find a good, respectable and caring doctor in the Loxahatchee/RPB area. We had a doctor for the past

Monthly

16 years who went into the concierge practice which was not affordable for us and now we have both exhausted efforts to find the “right” doctor. People refer us to their doctor and they tell us why they like that particular doctor and it’s exactly what we don’t like: ”Oh, they give you all kinds of prescriptions,” or they tell us “he approves of our life style which includes alcohol consumption” That’s not what we want to hear. We want a good ole doctor that gives thorough exams and offers healthy advise for good living. We would love to try your doctor … HELP! Patty Hanbury Loxahatchee

New to area, reader looking to find good family doctor

Ernie, I, too, am looking for a doctor after relocating here from Massachusetts. I was spoiled by the female doctor I had up north. She always listened, asked many questions and never rushed me out of her office before she gave me her directives.

So yes, I would like to know the name of this husband-wife duo so that I may contact them. You’re an answer to one of my many requests. Thank you. Steve Lacroix West Palm Beach

We must take control of our health when working with doctors

Hi Ernie, I was interested in your article since I’ve worked in healthcare for years, work in a hospital and have my own personal experiences with doctors. I like my doctor, who also takes time with patients, and doesn’t rush them out the door. It is very hard to find a good doctor today and the horror stories I hear from patients are amazing and sad. We cannot put doctors on pedestals and treat them like God. We have to be in control of our own bodies and do a little research, and decide what’s best for us, using the doctor’s advice and our own instincts. Glad you found a good doctor.

Science center’s rebirth is at core of expansion EXPANSION / FROM PAGE 1

operation $400,000 in the red. Crampton, a former director of the Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford, IL, raised the adult admission price from $8.95 to $11.95. “We waited for a backlash that never came,” Arrizza says. Recently, the ticket price was raised again, to $13.50. Still no backlash. “Last summer we were seeing 2,000 visitors a week, and this year it’s up to 4,000.” Rather than struggling to raise the unrealistic cost of an entirely new center, Crampton targeted a $5 million capital campaign to expand the present building and brought new ideas to give the center “curb appeal.” He reopened the planetarium and brought back monthly laser shows. He brought in exhibits with a quirky spin, celebrating the science of chocolate and beer. And it seems to have worked. “The $5 million capital campaign began in early 2012 with $2.4 million in country bonds, and since then we’ve raised another $2.5 million in private donations,” Arrizza says. “We’re almost there.” And in addition to the capital campaign, the Quantum Foundation has provided a $900,000 grant to pay for future traveling exhibits.

Deadlines nearing to become REAL ID compliant

If you were born after Dec. 1, 1964, you have a little over a year left to get REAL ID compliant, according to Maxine Sonnenschein, civic engagement man-

ager for the Palm Beach County Tax Collector’s office. The federal REAL ID Act of 2005 set new standards for driver licenses and state ID cards in response to 9/11. Everyone must now have specific and original documents that prove birth, social security number and residence for new or renewed driver licenses and state-issued IDs. Those born after Dec. 1, 1964 have until Dec. 1 2014, to get their REAL ID driver license or state ID card. Everyone else has until Dec. 1, 2017. After those deadlines, people must have a REAL ID for airline travel or to enter a federal building. A list of the Homeland Security-required documents is online at pbctax.com. For more information, call the Tax Collector’s office at (561) 355-2264.

Readers seek doctor recommendations LETTERS / FROM PAGE 4

Husband, wife practice might be exactly what reader is looking for

Mr. Zimmerman, I read your July 2013 article in Palms West Monthly with great interest. Seems we have similar histories. I, too, am a Vietnam veteran. I am not a retired New York City police officer, but my father was an officer/detective with the 41st and then the 32nd precincts having retired in 1968. The reason I am responding to your article is because of our shared recent history. Not long ago my wife and I received a “sayonara” letter from our PCP because “the face of healthcare delivery and reimbursement has changed dramatically,” and so he decided to leave his soloprivate practice. We had been with him for several years through some trials and tribulations due to either injuries or age related. Like you, this change was not welcome and similarly we began the hunt in much the same way as you describe. We’ve been asking friends as well as medical professionals at a hospital that we volunteer at. We have narrowed it down to two choices and were about to look into both when I came upon your article. I am reticent to have a female PCP (don’t ask), but my wife might welcome same. So it

seems to us that you have found the promised land of PCPs. Are we curious to know who your new doctor is? You betcha! Chris Fries West Palm Beach

will be needing to have his prescriptions filled soon. We bought a house in Buena Vida in June. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Susan Leonard Wellington

Reader also searching for new doctor Reader finds doctor Hi Ernie, worth concierge fee I enjoyed your article about searching for a doctor, especially since I am going through the process right now. I would appreciate the name of the doctors you found to help me in my search. Thanks, Gladys Maloy Wellington

New to area, reader looking to find good family doctor

Hi Ernie, First, I wanted to say “thank you” for writing that article regarding finding a new family doctor. I found it very informative and I could relate to so much of what you said. Anyway, I know things are different here in Florida, but having to pay to be a member of a practice before you can see the doctor is just “over the top.” To give you a little history, my husband and I just moved here from Wilmington, N.C., and I am trying to find a family doctor. Because we have only been in our new home for one month, we don’t know enough people to get recommendations, and it’s at the top of my priority list because my husband is a diabetic and he

Ernie, I, too, recently decided to change my internist after many years. After a similar search as yours to no avail, I called my gastro doctor who is absolutely the most caring and personalized one I ever needed for that type of exam. I found out from his nurse that he was adding internal medicine to his practice as concierge. Well, being I trusted him and liked him, I felt it was worth the fee, which was a little below the norm. When I did this I was having some health issues which we discussed over the phone and he changed some pills and scheduled an appointment for one week later. Not only was he on time, but he gave me a full physical which was over an hour and sent me for other tests. Two days later he called me back with positive results. Two weeks after that, he called me to see how I was doing. That is what being a doctor was in the old days when we grew up. Like you, I feel I can live forever. Must be a Brooklyn thing.

imagined,” said Angie Moreau, an undergraduate majoring in International Business. “It was amazing to see how many companies have developed a global business perspective and are profitable. It made me picture working in Brazil.” Moreau said that the group’s visit to My Green Favela was her most memorable part of the trip. “Seeing these beautiful children trying to lead a normal, happy life inspired me to perhaps return to volunteer,” she said. “I honestly feel God is having a hand in calling me to Rio.” At Globo TV, which holds the majority of Brazil’s television stations and is the world’s largest

producer of telenovelas (soap operas), students witnessed Brazil’s emphasis on environmental responsibility and its pride of the country’s strong culture. There, students met with executives and toured the telenovela sound stages where they learned the importance of environmental sustainability through a discussion on Globo TV’s self-producing power plant, allowing the company to produce its own electricity. “The trip was worth much more than I actually paid for because it was a once-in-alifetime opportunity that I will never forget,” said Jesse Tibbetts, an international business major. “I am thankful that I was able to go.” 

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com

Sunsets, shells and grandkids a winning combination The only thing better than spending time in Marco Island with the grandkids was hearing ten precious words on the drive home. I recently returned from a great five-day mini vacation on Marco Island with Sharon and three of our granddaughters. We stayed at one of those fancy hotels on the beach. Thanks to our son Brian, who’s a whiz at shopping for hotel deals online, we got a very good deal. The trip started with a pleasant drive across Alligator Alley. I love driving on this road – it’s very peaceful and you get the added bonus of seeing nature at its best. For the entire length of Alligator Alley I had the kids looking for gators and panthers. They didn’t see any, but it kept them busy for over an hour. Then, of course, it was back to their computer games. One of the reasons I like going to Marco Island is because it’s a very easy ride from Palm Beach County. Basically, start out heading south on the turnpike,

then turn right at the Sawgrass Expressway. Merge onto I-75 and take that to the Collier Boulevard Exit. Go straight ’til you reach the hotel – that pretty much sums it up. What more can one ask for. Upon arriving at our hotel, we learned that our room wasn’t ready – my fault, not the hotel’s, as we got there way too early. The clerk said she would call us when the room was ready. That was okay by us. We headed straight to the beach where our shell hunt began. On Marco Island there is never a shortage of shells. Within an hour we got the call that our room was ready, but the girls wanted to stay on the beach. They were in no rush to get to our room. When we finally made it to the room, we were very happy. The view of the Gulf was great and the room was big enough

for the five of us. It was very comfortable, to say the least. Everyone changed into their bathing suits and it was down to the pool and beach again. Four hours later the girls still didn’t want to get out of the water, but I was getting hungry, so off we went to clean up. The next day we signed up to take this really fun Dolphin boat ride. Besides looking for dolphins, the boat also took us to The Ten Thousand Islands for a shell hunt. (Don’t let the name fool you though – the islands there only number in the hundreds.) We didn’t have to wait too long to see dolphins. After being on board for only about 10 minutes, they started to appear – I’d say we saw at least 50 of them. We also saw a mother dolphin with her baby. As we started to leave, a couple of them tried to race the boat

– and the dolphins almost won! It was now time to go to one of the islands and start our shell hunt. The islands are loaded with Mangrove trees, which I learned from the boat captain help protect Marco Island from hurricanes. Once we returned to the hotel it was more beach and pool time. Afterwards, the girls took turns playing ping-pong, which they’re pretty good at. It might have something to do with the ping-pong table they have in their garage at home. The thing I wanted to see the most on our vacation was to watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, the first three days we were there it was too cloudy and overcast to see. On the fourth day, however, my wish came true – and all I can say is, “Wow!” It was beautiful. The thing that surprised me the most was how fast the sun actually set. It seemed to set in less than two minutes and it was

still daylight afterwards. The next day the girls all got their hair braided, which will serve as a two-week reminder to them of this wonderful trip. All good things must come to an end, and after the fifth day, we reluctantly packed for our ride back home. Just when I thought nothing could top this getaway, we were about half-way across Alligator Alley when my oldest granddaughter Eliana said, “Grandpa, these were the best five days of my life.” What more can one want to hear from a grandchild? 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.

Aubrey Plaza stars as Brandy and Rachel Bilson stars as Amber in CBS Films’ “The To Do List.”

‘The To Do List:’ an evocative teen romp By JUSTIN LOWE The Hollywood Reporter

Coming of age comedies are fraught with seemingly limitless pitfalls, necessitating a wellhoned screenplay and persuasive performances to assure audience allegiance. So with consistently entertaining characters and infectious humor, writer-director Maggie Carey’s “The To Do List” delivers well above expectations. Even as 1993 valedictorian of her Boise high school class, mathlete Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza) can’t escape the ridicule of many classmates for her goody-good image and lack of worldliness. Facing her first year in university as a virginal freshman, Brandy decides to reevaluate her priorities, especially after a drunken mix-up at her very first kegger results in a mistaken make-out session with too-hot Rusty Waters (Scott Porter), the No. 1 object of lust among all her classmates. Brandy quickly tosses her college planning when she discovers her latent libido in favor of a to-do list of sexual experiences she hopes will quickly get her up to speed before the fall semester starts. Her more experienced BFFs Wendy (Sarah Steele) and Fiona (Alia Shawkat) are dubious that Brandy can go from bench-warmer status to home base in one short summer, but with the experienced guidance of her semi-skanky sister Amber (Rachel Bilson), who lost her virginity at 14, Brandy sorts out her priorities and identifies a shortlist of candidates to help her get into the game. She quickly checks off her

first few goals with her crushedout chemistry lab partner Cameron (Johnny Simmons), but finding out that Rusty is also working at the same public pool where she’s lifeguarding for the first time over the summer throws Brandy off her stride. Her nonchalant response to the constant hazing from her coworkers and slacker boss Willy (Bill Hader) earns her some respect, however, particularly when she elicits the well-kept secret that could get Willy fired. With Rusty so tantalizingly nearby almost every day and showing growing interest as Brandy sheds her uptight image as well as her one-piece swimsuit in favor of a bikini, she senses her ultimate goal may not be far off. Then Cameron totally bums her out with a squirmingly awkward revelation, forcing Brandy to consider whether there may be some collateral emotional damage associated with her sexual conquests that could derail her grand scheme. Making a convincingly assured feature debut, TV and Web series writer-director Carey’s script nails the raunchy-sweet tone required to bring off this R-rated teen-centered comedy with remarkable charm and relatability, mining a rich vein of girl-centered sexual

curiosity and experimentation “loosely inspired” by personal experience. Both funnier and kinder than other recent attempts to capture the attention of a disparate segment of female moviegoers, the film achieves a cheerfully ambivalent tone more appropriate to carefree youthfulness. Plaza’s performance, shaped both by Brandy’s naiveté and her almost clinical determination to lose her virginity, sets the narrative on a sex-positive journey of discovery, creating ample opportunity for misunderstanding and humor. Brandy’s quest might be fruitless without the support of her family and friends, including her mother (Connie Britton), a straight-talking nurse, and her far more experienced sister, played by Bilson with a winning mixture of sagacity and sexual accomplishment. Shawkat and Steele prove an antic pair of best friends, enthusiastically abetting Brandy’s suddenly assertive behavior. In fact, they’re all way more dialed-in than the mostly clueless guys, who respond to Brandy’s come-ons with a combination of bewilderment and opportunism, only to be passed over as she checks off another experience on her list.

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com

Friends come in handy when searching for story ideas When it comes to writing this column, the Idea Well sometimes runs dry, but thanks to friends’ suggestions it’s now overflowing. Truth be told, I was one of those students who wrote papers at the last minute. I had bits and pieces of necessary information rattling ’round my head all the time, but the discipline to stop, sit down and write was not my strong point. Once I parked my tuchas and focused, it all just flowed. This approach is how Manely Speaking gets written every month. Ideas bounce around my noggin like lottery balls in the popper. As deadline approaches, one of them comes down the chute, and that’s it. However, this month is different – I got nothing. The Idea Well is bone dry and my gracious, kind-hearted and ever-tolerant editor has extended my submission deadline – again. With less than 18 hours to deadline, off to the readership I go seeking ideas. I queried the 11-year-old, horse-crazy girls I tutor on possible ideas. “Write about how great our ponies are and how good we are at riding,” readily rolled from their lips. In softened words, I explained that although I liked their idea, it was not newsworthy or relevant to folks who don’t ride. But, their ponies are great, tolerating hours-long bath

and beauty treatments, dress-up and colored body painting to pass the summer-time blues. One idea which I can’t form into anything cohesive is that our horses are stabled by personality. Because our stall walls are only six-feet tall, the horses easily socialize over the top. The arrangement of bodies, or “personality management,” minimizes potential injury to the horse and damage to the facility. This idea is applied to turnout since each pasture shares a common fence. You don’t put playful geldings in adjoining pastures. All this ensures is a trip to Lowe’s for fence boards and posts. Another column idea which either cracks me up or makes my blood boil is when my nonhorsey friends call and say, “You are home all day (essentially doing nothing), can you (stop whatever you are doing) and come help me do X?” God bless voicemail. I’m sure the stay-at-home parents who keep a lid on their household can relate. I should call back at 6:15 a.m. when the first feeding begins and ask them to come over to help. If that doesn’t work for them, they can make the 8 a.m. feeding, bucket and trough scrubbing, stall and pasture

cleaning, bandage changing and meds, prep and set-up for dinner feed and barnyard tidying. The latter chore usually rolls into feeding lunch. Dinner-time feed comes around quickly with more stall cleaning and set up for the morning. Again, more stall cleaning and watering at bedtime snack which occurs between “Jeopardy!” and the news. By now, my pillow is a welcome sight. (My equestrian friend’s husband, Wayne Norwood, says, “Anything that eats, while you sleep, is a bad investment.”)

Our friends Linda and John are not horse people. Linda reads Manely Speaking and often says, “I never would have thought ‘X’ about horses.” Because they are animal lovers and piqued by personalities and behaviors, their ideas for topics flowed freely. One idea formed into a question I couldn’t answer. “Why do so many horse people have Jack Russell Terriers?” My guess is heritage. The Jack Russell is the dog who would dig, venture into the fox den and remove the fox once the hounds of the hunt had trapped it. Linda asked if I had a Jack Russell. I do not, nor will I. They are self-assured, irreverent and don’t come with instructions.

Another reason I don’t have a Jack Russell, nor any other barn dog, is that my horse Willie views dogs as furry footballs with feet. I noted John and Linda’s ideas for future use. Most require interviews of industry personalities and a bit of research. The Idea Well is now replenished. Laura Danowski is the owner of Heads-Up Media, specializing in equestrian promotion. A former circuit competitor, she now resides on her layup facility in Loxahatchee.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WEST PALM BEACH

Trolley service makes shopping downtown a breeze Field of Greens is now offering a breakfast menu six days a week, featuring wraps and gourmet coffee. Looking for a little down time without having to drive too far? If you’re like this gal, a lavish summer getaway is out of the budget so make the best of your hardearned downtime by discovering a new side to Downtown West Palm Beach. For you early birds, and for the first time, Field of Greens is now offering a breakfast menu six days a week from its restaurant at 412 Clematis St. The menu serves delicious breakfast options including signature breakfast wraps. (My favorite is the California Wrap at around $6.50 – add Prosciutto for $2.50 … oh, so good!) Their finely ground Illy Coffee is brewed to perfection. All healthy and affordable! Breakfast is served starting at 9 a.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information call 820-2465. After breakfast hop on the free trolley and tour the many cultural, entertainment, dining and retail venues. There are two routes in Downtown West Palm Beach – the Yellow Line (Downtown District/City Place) and the Green Line (Tri Rail/Downtown District). Both routes are free and the trolley picks up pas-

sengers every ten minutes at designated downtown trolley stops and is handicapped accessible. This is such a convenient way to visit all of your favorite downtown shops, restaurants and attractions. Trolleys run seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Want to stay cool and take in an afternoon matinee? Look no further than Palm Beach Dramaworks. I really cannot say enough positive things about this popular theater and neither can the folks at The Wall Street Journal and The Palm Beach Post, who have called the theater “The hottest theatre ticket in town.” Check out the upcoming summer powerful plays like “Man of La Mancha” or “Company.” I have found my venue for escaping to another place and time and I don’t even need a plane ticket to get there! You’ll find Palm Beach Dramaworks at 201 Clematis St. For more information on upcoming shows, call 514-4042 or go

online to palmbeachdramaworks.org. After the show, take a stroll to the new arts and cultural Summer Gallery Series at the historic Anthony Building at 312 Clematis St. The pop-up Summer Gallery Series began showcasing fourday exhibits in June, July, with one more scheduled for August. Each month features artwork from regionally and national renowned artists. In addition to the art showcase and exhibition, a cocktail reception will be held on Friday evenings to meet and greet the artist. Why not wrap up your Downtown experience in France? Les Rendez-vous at 221 Datura St. will make you feel as if you were in Paris. Their food is incredibly scrumptious and the menu is full

of reasonably priced items (around $10 for sandwiches and $15 for entrées). Perfect for a girls night out and business luncheons. Les Rendez-vous décor is very chic with a modern feel, quite visually stimulating and yet inviting. Until next time, I’ll see you downtown!

She lives, works and plays in Downtown West Palm Beach and keeps readers abreast of the latest events and goings-on throughout the year.

Gulfstream Goodwill to benefit from room renovations at The Breakers Gulfstream Goodwill and shoppers at its area retail stores are the beneficiaries from renovations taking place at The Breakers Palm Beach. The luxury resort is renovating 108 guest rooms, including replacing the furnishings. As a result, all of the old furnishings will be donated to Gulfstream Goodwill Industries. “The Breakers is pleased to support Gulfstream Goodwill Industries with donations of gently-used items from the resort,” said Mary Carhart, manager of the resort’s Team Member Services & Community Outreach. “We take pride in knowing that Goodwill uses the pro-

ceeds from donations to help individuals in local communities.” The furniture will be for sale throughout the summer in Gulfstream Goodwill retail stores in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River counties. Each store has a limited supply. “This immaculate furniture sells quickly in our retail stores, and we are so pleased that The Breakers is donating again,” said Rhonda Counes, vice president of operations for Gulfstream Goodwill Industries. “This year’s donation will include household furniture and items such as beds, mattresses, credenzas, lamps, art work, TV’s, end tables and more!”

Photographic Centre unveils new exhibits The Palm Beach Photographic Centre, located at the City Center municipal complex on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach, has announced it will present two exhibitions focused on Cuba beginning Aug. 23 and running through Nov. 16. “The Conflux of Eternities” is billed as a historical discourse in the work of Kadir López, the center’s artist-in-residence who was born in 1972 in the Cuban province of Las Tunas. His talent was recognized at the

early age of 12, when he was chosen to receive a formal art education from grade school through graduate studies as part of Cuba’s education system. He graduated from the prestigious Instituto Superior de Artes in Havana in 1995. The second exhibit, “An American Presence in Cuba,” will feature works by a wide variety of photographers. “An American Presence in Cuba” will provide a glimpse of pre-embargo Cuba with shots of numerous island visitors from celebrated artists and athletes to

U.S. presidents, as well as movie stars and business tycoons. The Palm Beach Photographic Centre will host a free opening night reception with Kadir López on Aug. 23 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The public is invited. The Palm Beach Photographic Centre is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WELLINGTON

Let’s all work to ensure another successful school year With the school year just around the corner, following these safety tips will give our children the best possible chance of success. By MAYOR BOB MARGOLIS Exclusive to Palms West Monthly

It’s that time of the year all kids dread – going back to school. With the fun days of summer coming to a close, I want to offer some tips to make sure our kids have a healthy, safe and productive school year. First, if your kids walk to school, make sure you know their route, have walked it with them so they’re familiar with it, and that there are adult crossing guards at all intersections. Kids who bike to school should always wear helmets. They should know how to fol-

low traffic lights and signals, and should always ride in the same direction as traffic. Teach them the appropriate hand signals to alert drivers of their intentions. Providing kids a healthy breakfast each morning will help them learn. Research shows that eating breakfast provides memory, attention, and energy benefits. Also include healthy snacks in your kids’ lunches. Another important consideration is to make sure all food is packed safely. When you prepare their lunch, washing all fruits and vegetables will help prevent illness. Hot foods should be con-

tained in an insulated container and an ice pack should be used to help keep cold foods safe. Make sure kids aren’t carrying backpacks too heavy for them, as doing so can lead to poor posture and chronic back pain. A backpack should weigh no more than ten percent of your child’s body weight. Backpacks should have wide, padded straps and kids should use both straps to balance the weight across their bodies. Straps should adjust so that the backpack fits your child’s body; if it dangles, the weight can cause spinal misalignment and pain.

I also want to discuss a serious problem – bullying. I encourage every parent to discuss with their children what to do if they are bullied or know of someone being bullied. It not only affects scholastic performance, but it can also cause health problems and lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. Bullying takes many forms – some examples include name-calling, pushing, spitting, threatening, destroying property, and cyberbullying. Students at all grade levels can be affected. Adults should help kids understand what bullying is so that they can identify it. It’s important to promote open communication, so children will feel comfortable

reporting and discussing what they see. Visit stopbullying. gov for more information and to learn valuable techniques to help prevent and stop it. Wellington has fantastic schools, teachers and students, and I look forward to another year of top-notch effort from everyone. By following the above tips, we will help ensure that the new school year is a success for our entire community.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) Now that you know it’s safe to trust what’s in your heart, your heart is overflowing. It looks like someone else feels the same way. For now you can rest easy knowing that life doesn’t get any better than this. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) These ants in your pants have something to do with boredom. Get out on the tip of your arrow and have an adventure. If whomever you’re with isn’t in the mood to take off, go by yourself. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) Your privacy issues are running the show. What’s the big secret? If you’re worried about people knowing too much about your business, what they don’t know about it is keeping you both stuck. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) Don’t be naive. You are too emotionally involved to see this for what it is. Giving people more credit than they deserve makes it hard to see what they’re up to. Step back. Distance will make things crystal clear. Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) Taking

back your power will require you to disengage for a while – just long enough to see that continuing with this will do very little to further your growth. If you can’t make this work, it may be time to just let it go. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) Keep your thoughts to yourself and wait for others to think that this was their idea. Once they see that joining forces makes more sense than trying to go it alone things will come together. Stay cool. This will work out. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) Having better things to do is the best way to handle the fact that someone isn’t paying attention. You can’t sit home waiting for the phone to ring. Once they see that your life doesn’t revolve around them they’ll be all over you. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) Taking your own advice might be a good idea. You keep preaching to someone on the virtues of clearing up the past. You’d go a long way to solving your private affairs by seeing how heavily your own past affects your choices.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Too many setbacks have dented your optimism. This loss of faith is a perfect opportunity to find it again. Adversity helps us remember what’s important. If you can focus on what you do have, what you don’t have won’t even matter. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) Now that this is all set to go, you’re getting cold feet. Well aware of what you’re giving up, it’s hard for you to see what you’re trading this in for. Let your intuition tell you whether to go forward or not. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) Other people just don’t seem to get it. You can’t change that, so leave it alone. Too much talk and debate should be avoided. You’re in a situation that won’t resolve itself until others wake up and smell the coffee. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) Your expectations could ruin a good thing. If you can stop obsessing about what this will lead to, it could turn out in your favor. Hidden surprises could easily pop your balloon.

Outside the Neighborhood Maine man’s car rolls into lake during potty break

BELGRADE, Maine — Police say a Maine man’s car got all wet when he stopped on the road for a bathroom break. Chief Deputy Everett Flannery of the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office says 32-year-old Mark Leighton of Oakland stopped at a boat landing on Salmon Lake in Belgrade one evening in June because he had to go. Flannery tells the Morning Sentinel that Leighton was going to the bathroom when he heard a splash, turned around, and saw the car in the lake. Flannery says it appears Leighton pulled the emergency brake but forget to put the car in park. The car was pulled from the lake by a tow truck.

Iowa State Fair plans butter sculpture of Lincoln

DES MOINES, Iowa — A butter sculpture of President Abraham Lincoln will share the dairy-centric spotlight this year with the world-famous butter cow at the Iowa State Fair. Organizers announced that a sculpture of Lincoln, along with a replica of the Lincoln Highway Bridge in central Iowa, will be on display in a 40-degree cooler when the fair opens in August. It will take sculptor Sarah Pratt three weeks and 1,000 pounds of regular salted butter to create the pieces. She says she’s unsure how she’ll depict Lincoln. The companion sculptures, which change every year, are marking anniversaries. It’s been 150 years since Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and Gettysburg Address. The historic Lincoln Highway, which stretches from New York to San Francisco, is 100 years old. The fair runs Aug. 8 to Aug. 18.

Mich. man recognizes they returned the money. mom as bank Father, son record robbery suspect holes-in-one on BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Father’s Day The FBI says a Michigan man who recognized his mom in surveillance photos of a bank robbery called police to turn her in. MLive.com reports the man told police his mother was at his home in Kent County’s Byron Township. Authorities say 53-year-old Dee Ann Sanders of Martin was charged with robbing a Bank of America branch on June 18. A teller says the robber handed her a note demanding $2,500 for her children and grandchildren. She got $1,092. Surveillance photos show a woman wearing a bright red T-shirt with a large American flag on the front. FBI special agent Adam Van Deuren says Sanders confessed.

Taco Bell customers get cash instead of food

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — That was no burrito. Three people who ordered food at a Taco Bell drive-thru in western Michigan got something more valuable: $3,600 in cash. A Taco Bell employee mistakenly passed the cash to the trio instead of their food on June 29. The money was returned a short time later. Kennidi Rue told WZZM-TV that she and two friends thought about keeping the money but decided they’d feel guilty if they didn’t return it. Grand Rapids police Capt. Jeff Hertel confirms the incident, telling MLive.com that an officer was called to assist. The money was in a store bag for deposit at a bank. A message seeking comment was left with Taco Bell. Rue, boyfriend Grant Kruse and another friend, Luke Postma, got their meal when

RICHMOND, Texas — A father-son duo from South Texas showed no handicap when they stepped up to a par-3 tee and each shot a holein-one on Father’s Day. Lonnie Whitener, 57, told the Houston Chronicle that his 115yard drive using a gap wedge on the sixth hole at River Pointe Golf Club in Richmond struck the flag stick and dropped in the hole. Then, up stepped 13-year-old Zach Whitener, whose shot from 100 yards using a 6-iron landed near the pin and gently rolled in. The U.S. Golf Association does not keep records of holes-in-one, but the National Hole-in-One Registry says the chances of two players acing the same hole in the same round are one in 17 million. Two groups of players witnessed the feat and joined the celebration.

Maine town grants permit for Redneck games

HEBRON, Maine — The Redneck games are returning to Hebron for the third successive year. The town’s Board of Selectmen recently granted a mass gathering permit for organizer Harold Brooks. The games drew about 2,700 people to Brooks’ farm last year, who watched and competed in events including bobbing for pigs’ feet, toilet-seat horseshoes, lawn mower races and a pie eating contest. The Sun Journal reports that about the same number of people are expected this year. A demolition derby, live music and a beer tent are also planned for this year’s event scheduled for

August 1 through 4. Some proceeds will go to charity. The games were originally dubbed the Redneck Olympics, but are now officially known as the Redneck Blank after the real Olympics threatened to sue.

Seattle police: man crashes kid’s pizza party

SEATTLE — Seattle police say they arrested a man who crashed an 8-year-old child’s party, ate several pieces of pizza and took two balloon animals. Parents told police they asked the 28-year-old man to leave after he joined the children’s party at Green Lake on July 10. However, police say the shirtless, shoeless man refused and got into a “very heated” exchange with the families at the party. The families called police. In a release on their website, police say the man appeared to be under the influence of a “potent relaxant of some kind.” Officers first checked to see if the man needed medical attention, then arrested him for investigation of theft.

Firefighters put out unusual fire

YANKTON, S.D. — Firefighters in Yankton were called to extinguish an unusual blaze that involved an apparent small animal and a smoke bomb. The Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan reports that a resident who noticed a large hole had been dug in his yard overnight dropped a smoke bomb down the hole to scare off the varmint. The result was flames shooting from the ground.

Officials believe the animal chewed or clawed its way through a gas line, and the smoke bomb ignited the fumes. Firefighters monitored the scene for an hour until a gas company employee clamped off part of the line to extinguish the blaze. The resident suffered minor burns.

Man arrested after running through San Francisco Zoo

SAN FRANCISCO — Police say a man hoping to dodge the $15 entrance fee at the San Francisco Zoo led security officers on a wild chase as he dashed through animal exhibits. The Oakland Tribune reports 24-year-old Justin Montgomery was arrested on trespassing charges July 14, after he was held for police by zoo security. Zoo spokeswoman Abbie Tuller says visitors saw the man climbing an exterior fence and running through the African Savanna exhibit, an enclosure occupied by giraffes, zebras and ostriches. When security officers gave chase, the Los Angeles resident ran into the Primate Discovery Center. He was discovered hiding in bushes near an exhibit containing mandrills, large monkeys from West Africa. Animal caretakers moved quickly to secure the mandrills into their enclosures.
