MEDICAL EMERGENCY!
Amid a potential nursing shortage that threatens the state’s healthcare system, Florida’s universities get creative to meet demand for nurses. By CINDY KRISCHER GOODMAN The Associated Press
With more rehabilitation facilities, urgent cares, walk-in medical clinics and outpatient facilities, it is easier than ever to get medical treatment outside of a hospital or doctor’s office. But will there be enough nurses to provide proper care? Amid a potential nursing shortage that threatens Florida’s healthcare system, the state’s universities and colleges are devising creative solutions to graduate more nurses. The Florida Center for Nursing predicts the healthcare demand from baby boomers at the same time that 40 percent of existing nurses will be retiring could create a need for 114,000 more nurses by 2023. Yet, more people are vying for spots in nursing programs than there are positions available. Florida universities report turning away as many as two-thirds of applicants seeking a bachelor’s in nursing degree. Tapping into technology, however, may help. One solution is a change in how registered nurses get real-world practice with patient care. Most nursing programs require students to complete clinical hours in hands-on medical care environments in addition to their classroom learning. Universities say this requirement, along with a shortage of nursing faculty, has forced them to limit enrollment. “Every hospital works with multiple schools, but there is a limit on how many students at one time they can have in a clinical setting,” said Dr. Safiya George, the new dean of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. “Even if you built a bigger auditorium for classes, you have to have enough clinical partnerships for students to get their hands-on hours.” Enter simulation labs. FAU and an increasing number of nursing schools in Florida are offering simulation scenarios to give students experience with patient care. At Florida International University’s Simulation Teaching and Research (STAR) Center, nursing students can witness a live birth, a heart attack, or a devastating sports injury and interact with a mannequin who simulates a patient. The simulation center on the FIU main campus in Miami has a 15-bed critical care unit, primary care offices, prep-scrubbing stations, a virtual dissection table, and operating rooms equipped with surgical instruments. In the controlled environment, students get on-the-spot feedback from a teacher and practice communicating with a patient’s simulated family members. “We mirror what’s happening in hospitals,” said Henry Henao, director of FIU’s STAR Center. “Except students get to make the decisions rather than just observe the decisions.”
A CHANGE IN THE RULES
After a two-year study in which FIU participated, Florida’s State Board of Nursing now allows students to get up to half of their clinical hours in

simulation labs. For the 2018-19 school year, FIU accepted 120 undergraduates into its bachelor’s in nursing program. “We would be unable to accept as many as we do if not for the simulation center,” said Dr. Ora Strickland, dean of the Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Florida International University. Throughout the state, most universities already have or are working to increase undergraduate class size. Strickland said FIU uses the simulation center also to educate nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and nursing graduate students. And the university also has a simulation center to train nurses in home-based care. “Now that patients are spending less time in hospitals, we have to teach our students how to work with patients and families in the community and home setting,” Strickland said. Steering nurses in the direction of home health and skilled nursing could prove challenging. The Florida Center for Nursing estimates the state has about 12,000 nursing vacancies, twice as many as in 2009. Mary Lou Brunell, executive director of the Florida Center for Nursing, said the increasing need in Florida will come from facilities such as rehabilitation centers and nursing homes that cater to the aging baby boomer population. That path, however, is a tougher sell. “Entry level jobs are easier to find in home health or urgent care or hospice,” said 2019 FIU nursing graduate Ashley Mathews. “For me and my classmates though, a hospital setting is where we would like to be.” Florida’s previous attempt to graduate more nurses hasn’t panned out as expected. In 2009, Florida made it easier for new nursing schools to open, limiting the power of the state Board of Nursing to turn down viable programs. In 2018, 354 nursing programs enrolled students – including an assortment of technical schools and private colleges offering associate degrees. The result is too many students are failing NURSES / PAGE 8
Seven steps to take now for hurricane season These steps will help keep you and your family safe in the event of a storm. The hurricane season officially started on June 1 and runs until Nov. 30. If you have not prepared yet, the American Red Cross urges you to take steps now to be ready in case of an emergency. “Planning and preparing can make a big difference in people’s safety in the wake of a hurricane or tropical storm,” said Joanne Nowlin, chief executive officer for the American Red Cross South Florida Region. “Take steps now to get ready and keep your loved ones safe before a storm threatens South Florida.” Here’s seven steps recommended by the Red Cross: Determine your risk; Create an evacuation plan. Practicing the plan minimizes confusion and fear during the event; Build an emergency kit with a gallon of water per person per day, non-perishable food, a flashlight, battery-powered radio, first aid kit, medications, copies of important papers, cell phone chargers, extra cash, blankets and emergency contact information; Be informed. Learn about the community’s hurricane response plan. Plan routes to local shelters, register family members with special medical needs as required and make plans for pets; Download the free Red Cross Emergency App to select up to 35 different severe weather and emergency alerts on your mobile device. The content includes expert guidance on what to do before, during and after different emergencies or disasters – from home fires to hurricanes; Keep insurance policies, documents and other valuables in a safe-deposit box. You may need quick, easy access to these documents. Keep them in a safe place less likely to be damaged if a hurricane causes flooding. Protect windows with permanent storm shutters or invest in one-half inch marine plywood that is pre-cut to fit your doors and windows.

World-class care, close to you in Wellington.
Cleveland Clinic Florida expands access to expert primary care with Wellington location As life changes, so do the healthcare needs for yourself and your loved ones. You may want to consider choosing a primary care physician – family medicine or internal medicine physician – who can be your partner in health and wellness.
Jessica Garcia, MD
“We’re trained to provide comprehensive care for patients ages six and up,” said Jessica Garcia, MD, a Cleveland Clinic Florida family medicine physician who sees patients at Cleveland Clinic Florida’s Wellington location in the Village Green Center. “We treat a variety of conditions – from allergies and ear infections to orthopaedic issues and women’s health.” Knows family history Many patients are unsure about health concerns and diseases in their family tree. Since a primary care physician often cares for a family from one generation to the next, they know the family’s medical history. “We often see grandparents, children and grandchildren. This aids in our ability to not only care for an individual, but to care for the family as a whole,” said Dr. Garcia
Today, you and your family have access to expert primary and specialty care – now closer than ever. Cleveland Clinic Florida in Wellington also offers walk-in services at our Express Care® Clinic.

No need for multiple physicians In most cases, family and internal medicine physicians can address multiple medical needs during an office visit or they can make referrals to the appropriate specialist(s), if necessary. “Over time, your primary care physician knows you well – including your health history, family history, and risk factors – so we can advocate for you and help you navigate the healthcare system,” explained Sarah Mitchell, DO, a Sarah Mitchell, DO family medicine physician who also see patients in Wellington. Long-term, trusting relationships Patients are often too shy or embarrassed to talk about medical concerns or certain topics. “Since we have longstanding relationships with our patients, a degree of trust is established,” said Dr. Mitchell. It makes it easier to talk about issues when there’s a level of comfort and camaraderie.” To make an appointment with Dr. Garcia, Dr. Mitchell or any other primary care physician at Cleveland Clinic Florida’s Wellington location, visit ClevelandClinicFlorida.org/WellingtonAPPT to schedule online or call 800.639.DOCTOR.

Nominations are being accepted in nine categories, including awards for organizations and individuals.

South Florida Science Center racks up two awards for STEM work
The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is on a winning streak, recently nabbing two awards for its work in the STEM educational field. The science center earned the Florida Department of Education Commissioner’s Business Award and the School District of Palm Beach County’s Business Partner Gold level Award. The Education Commission award recognizes organizations’ extraordinary contri-
butions to public education throughout Florida. Recent examples of the science center’s efforts include serving at-risk youth all the way down to the Florida Keys, overseeing South Florida Robotics and recently hosting nearly 500 students at the Stiles-Nicholson STEM Inventor’s Challenge – a program that will soon be in 25 middle and elementary schools. The science center earned the Gold level award in the Business Partner Non-Profit category at the school district’s Volunteer & Business Partners Awards Breakfast. The ceremony recognizes business partners that prepare students to become responsible, accomplished and self-confident leaders by providing financial, human and in-kind resources to meet the needs of schools, students and teachers throughout the district. “We are incredibly honored to receive both of these awards on behalf of our board and our remarkable staff,” said Kate Arrizza, Science Center CEO. “Nationwide, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is in the top 3 percent of all U.S. science centers in the number of outreach visits made to schools, and we’re in the top 5 percent of science centers that host students on field trips or special classes/activities.” The Science Center is at 4801 Dreher Trail North in West Palm Beach.

So. Fla. hospitals aggressively recruiting nursing students NURSES / FROM PAGE 1
the state license exams as the demand for nurses increases. Florida has the lowest pass rate on the national nursing exam of all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
THE EFFECT ON CARE
Health advocates caution that without enough new nurses, those practicing will be forced to care for large numbers of patients at a time, leading to inferior care and nurse burnout. At Florida Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, the National Nurses United of Florida picketed in early June alleging those concerns already are occurring. In response, Tenet Health, the hospital owner, said its labor practices comply with all state and federal guidelines. To defray a reduction in quality of care, Brunell advocates a three-prong approach to addressing a shortage: graduate more new nurses, improve the work environment to retain existing nurses, and
redesign work to accommodate older nurses. South Florida hospitals say they are aggressively recruiting, partnering with colleges to offer programs that provide a direct pipeline for top nursing students, and coming up with new ways to fill their nursing needs. Kerry Major, chief nursing officer for Cleveland Clinic Florida region and Cleveland Clinic Weston, said her staffing gap is in experienced nurses, rather than entry level positions. About 20 percent of her nursing workforce is nearing retirement. “The challenge is we can’t fill every position with a new grad. We need experienced nurses to train the new talent,” Major said. The hospital is offering reduced hours to nurses close to retirement age and tuition reimbursement to hospital workers who want to go to school to become a nurse. “With the growth in our elderly population, we are definitely going to need nurses to meet that demand,” she said.

SCENE FROM WEST PALM by Aaron Wormus | awormus@palmswestmonthly.com
National program aims to lift northeast neighborhoods

Craig Glover, executive director of Northend RISE, a Purpose-Built Community in West Palm Beach, discusses the nonprofit’s goals to attendees at the July meeting of Urban Sprawl in West Palm Beach.
Meadows. Known to the locals as “Vietnam” from the ‘70s to the ‘90s, the neighborhood had some of the worst crime rates in the country, rampant drug use, a substandard school and extreme poverty. Cousins created the East Lake Foundation, which worked with Atlanta agencies and local non-profit partners to create a holistic approach to revitalization. They launched a threepronged approach to community wellness: Housing: Cradle-to-college education pipeline; Community wellness. The plan worked and by 2007 crime was down by an impressive 87 percent from a decade earlier, welfare recipients plunged from 60 percent to 5 percent and children who passed the state math test soared from 5 to 74 percent. In 2009, the non-profit consulting organization Purpose Built Communities was created to work side by side with local leaders to bring the same successes to other downtrodden neighborhoods. To date, Purpose Built Communities has worked with 17 cities. Last year, West Palm Beach
was chosen to be part of this program. Locally, the organization is called Northend RISE. It’s already partnered with Quantum Foundation, the City of West Palm Beach and many other local non-profits. The organization’s executive director and “community quarterback” is Craig Glover. The “RISE Impact Area” starts just north of Northwood Village and 25th Street and stretches to the northern edge of the city. It includes multiple neighborhoods, those on Flagler Drive to the east, the neighborhoods surrounding Broadway through to Lake Mangonia to the west. Northend RISE has very ambitious goal for the next 10 years. It’s goals include: Quality housing options for residents of varying income levels; Highly rated neighborhood schools; Improved resident health and general wellness; More employment opportunities with a pathway to lifelong careers; Walkable streets, reliable public safety and creation of a sense of place. In an interview, Glover recently laid out some of the
challenges that are in front of this brand new organization. “Breaking the cycle of poverty is a hefty goal,” Glover said. “However, we know that our model will work, over a period of time. What excites me today is the ability to help one family at a time, to connect with the resources that will improve their lives today.” He added, “Often our neighbors just aren’t aware of a solution to their life challenge that already exists. What an opportunity to make those connections! A few healthier families
can transform a block and a few improved blocks can transform a whole community.” According to Glover, the first step is to gain extensive resident engagement. Some ideas that have already surfaced include encouraging much-needed grocery stores to open in the area and establishing a local museum for African American history and culture intended to honor the neighborhood’s historic residents. Other ideas include offering new opportunities for learning and engagement. Glover knows it will take a massive amount of work to make this a reality. “We ask that others will share their best practices in the areas of housing, education, health and wellness and employment with RISE,” he says. “Together, we can improve the lives of all of our neighbors.” For more information, go online to northendrise.org.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to receive a personally guided tour of the Broadway Corridor at the north end of West Palm Beach by former city commissioner and downtown businessman David Smith. Smith, who grew up in the north part of the city, is from a family of motel owners. He still has fond memories of riding his bike to school, working and living in a bustling and prosperous neighborhood. Broadway was the business corridor from the 1920s to the ‘50s, as thousands of tourists, honeymooners and businessmen drove down U.S. 1 to spend the night in one of the many motels before getting an early start to Miami the next day. Business was good for the dozens of motels that lined what came to be known as the area’s “Motel Row.” When I-95 was built in the ‘60s, it took away traffic – the lifeblood of the Broadway Corridor. The decline was so rapid that in 1967, during a city commission meeting on zoning changes to attract larger hotels to the area’s waterfront, a resident was quoted as saying, “We need another motel row like we need a hole in the head!” While other parts of the city have done well over the ensuing decades, the Broadway Corridor offered little to the residents. Statistics from 2018 show a 29 percent poverty level with a per-capita income of a mere $18,000. Sadly, 97.9 percent of students here are on free or discounted school lunches. Thanks to a national program, this part of the city now has a new opportunity through a partnership with the non-profit Purpose Built Communities. It’s an organization that works to revitalize downtrodden neighborhoods around the country. Purpose Built Communities started in the early ‘90s when Atlanta-based philanthropist Tom Cousins committed to changing the destinies of the people living in the devastated neighborhood of East Lake

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
Follow these eight steps to a worse you in just 90 days! I’ve always dreamed of writing a million-copy-selling selfhelp book, but since I’m not very good at anything, I thought it was just another pipe dream. Then I realized: I’m good at being a failure! And I could help other people become failures! Instead of taking years to become a bitter, dismal, selfhating loser, I can teach you how to do it in months – days, even! Here are some quick and easy-to-follow lessons from what may be a publishing first: a self-hurt book. These tips are all from the chapter entitled “The Workplace: Failure On the Clock.” Drink on the job. It sends the message that you’re so talented, you don’t even have to be sober to do this stinking job for which you’re overqualified, anyway. You don’t have a problem – THEY’VE got the problem. They don’t pay you enough to tell you what to do on your own time. Especially lunch. What do they think, that you’re going to hang around here until somebody dies just to get the promotion you should have been given two years ago? Harris only got it because you were out with gout. He doesn’t have alimony and child support to pay, and yet he’s making all the money, the creepy little toady. If you’re unhappy, make sure everyone’s unhappy. Some people are afraid to show their feelings. Not you. If you’re having a bad day, let people know it by making sure they have a bad day, too. Let them know who should be the boss. You SHOULD be the senior assistant to the associate manager of eastside office supply distribution, but all the women
the strivers. Like Harris. Let the boss know you’re doing her a favor by even showing up. This single step can speed up the whole process of your goal of becoming a lifelong loser. Make sure everyone in the company knows you’re just here until something better comes along. It practically guarantees you’ll be laid off in the next round of “right-sizing,” leading to your long, steady spiral into a bottomless pit of remorse and recrimination. Which is what Harris probably had planned for you all along, the backstabbing, credit-grabbing butt-kisser. Remember, only you have the power to royally screw up your life. I can only tell you how; it’s up to YOU to act on these surefire steps to absolute failure. Good luck! in the head office told Harris that you made them uncomfortable, when really you were just being friendly. Harris told them you were drinking in the broom closet. It’s like they’re all out to get you. Realize that it’s always someone else’s fault. Remember, none of your problems are caused by you. You’re not the reason you’re late for work; the cop who pulled you over for speeding is the one to blame. And you wouldn’t have been speeding, except you got up late because you were out drinking until the bars closed, because Bob said “let’s go get a drink.” So if anyone’s to blame, it’s Bob. Tell co-workers what they’re doing wrong. This is an especially effective way of derailing your career

path. It works even better if you’re not doing your own job particularly well. Most people are too polite to say, “Hey, jerk, how come you’ve got time to tell me how to do my job, but yours isn’t even halfway done?” At least they’re too polite the first two times. The third time, they’ll let loose. Talk about office politics all the time. That’s why you had to take diversity training, twice. Office politics. That’s why you got a bad
review. Office politics. That’s why you flunked the random drug test. Office politics, yet again. Don’t be a butt-kisser. All those people who get their work done right and on time just to make the boss happy make you sick, don’t they? The little suck-ups will do anything to get ahead: show up on time, work hard, keep their noses to the grindstone. Well, they can’t buy you, can they? Do stuff whenever you feel like it, not when it’s convenient for

Health Matters Scientists feel chill of crackdown on fetal tissue research
If you are a health professional who would like to submit an article to Health Matters, please send an e-mail to newsdesk@PalmsWestMonthly.com for details.
By LAURAN NEERGAARD, MALCOLM RITTER and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — To save babies from brain-damaging birth defects, University of Pittsburgh scientist Carolyn Coyne studies placentas from fetuses that otherwise would be discarded – and she’s worried this kind of research is headed for the chopping block. The Trump administration is cracking down on fetal tissue research, with new hurdles for government-funded scientists around the country who call the special cells vital for fighting a range of health threats. Already, the administration has shut down one university’s work using fetal tissue to test HIV treatments, and is ending other fetal tissue research at the National Institutes of Health. “I knew this was something that’s going to trickle down to the rest of us,” said Coyne. She uses the placenta, which people may not think of as fetal tissue but technically is classified as such because the fetus produced it, to study how viruses such as Zika get past that protective barrier early in pregnancy. “It seems to me what we’re moving toward is a ban,” she added. If so, when it comes to unraveling what happens in pregnancy and fetal development, “we’re going to stay igno-

In this Tuesday, May 23, 2017 file photo, activists dressed as characters from “The Handmaid’s Tale” chant in the Texas Capitol Rotunda as they protest SB8, a bill that would require health care facilities, including hospitals and abortion clinics, to bury or cremate any fetal remains whether from abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth, and they would be banned from donating aborted fetal tissue to medical researchers in Austin.

not privately funded work. Aside from the cancellation of an HIV-related project at the University of California, San Francisco, university-led projects that are funded by the NIH – estimated to be fewer than 200 – aren’t affected right away. But as researchers seek to renew their funding or propose new studies, HHS said it will have to pass an extra layer of review, beyond today’s strict scientific scrutiny. Each project will have a federal ethics board appointed to recommend whether NIH should grant the money. HHS hasn’t offered details but under the law authorizing the review process, that board must include not just biomedical experts but a theologian, and the nation’s health secretary can overrule its advice. “I predict over time we will see a slow and steady elimination of federal funding for research that uses fetal tissue, regardless of how necessary it is,” said University of Wisconsin law professor Alta Charo, a nationally recognized bioethics expert. Necessity is the crux of a fierce debate between abor-
tion foes and scientists about whether there are alternatives to fetal tissue for research. Zika offers a glimpse at the difficulty. Somehow, the Zika virus can sneak from the mother’s bloodstream across the placenta, which protects and nourishes the fetus, and target the fetus’ brain. It’s something researchers hope to learn to block. Studying the placentas of small animals or even monkeys isn’t a substitute because they differ from the human organ, said Emory University researcher Mehul Suthar. For example, the specific type of placental cell where Zika can lurk in humans isn’t thought to be present in mouse placentas. And because the placenta continually changes as the fetus that created it grows, first-trimester tissue may show a very different vulnerability than a placenta that’s expelled during full-term birth, when it’s no longer defined as fetal tissue but as medical waste. Suthar recently submitted a new grant application to study first- and second-trimester placental tissue, and is worried
about its fate under the still uncertain ethics provision. It “sounds a bit murky as to what the impact could be,” he said. It could be small, “or it could be an outright ban on what we’re doing.” Anti-abortion groups argue there are alternatives, such as stem cells, growing organ-like clumps of cells in lab dishes, or using tissue taken from newborns as they have heart surgery. Indeed, NIH is funding a $20 million program to research alternatives to fetal tissue and to prove whether they work as well. “Taxpayer funding ought to go to promote alternatives that are already being used in the production of treatments, vaccines and medicines, and to expand approaches that do not depend on the destruction of unborn children,” said Mallory Quigley of the Susan B. Anthony List, which works to elect anti-abortion candidates to public office. But dozens of medical and science organizations have told HHS there is no substitute for fetal tissue in studying certain – not all – health disorders, such as HIV, Zika, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, and a variety of eye diseases. To Pittsburgh’s Coyne, part of the political debate is a “completely unsubstantiated belief that not allowing research and science is going to prevent or stop abortions, which is not the case.” Medical research using fetal tissue won’t stop but will move to other countries, said Charo, who advised the Obama administration. The United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore and China are among the countries using fetal tissue to seek breakthroughs. “Other countries work with this in a regulated fashion and they will continue to outstrip us,” she said. “We have allowed patients’ interests to become collateral damage in the abortion wars.”

Detroit police arrest graffiti artist hired by city
DETROIT — A graffiti artist commissioned by the city of Detroit to paint a mural on a viaduct was arrested by police who believed he was committing vandalism. The Detroit Free Press reports that 29-year-old Sheefy McFly, whose real name is Tashif Turner, was arrested in June. Detroit commissioned him as part of a multi-year effort to fight illegal graffiti with cityapproved artwork. McFly says he didn’t have his city-issued permit with him. He says multiple police cars arrived on site even as a city official showed up to vouch for him. Police spokeswoman Nicole Kirkwood says officers found McFly uncooperative. She says the disagreement led to McFly being arrested on suspicion of resisting and obstructing and on a warrant for an old parking ticket. McFly says he was treated like a felon and felt threatened.
Drunk man uses an Uber to rescue injured baby bird
OGDEN, Utah — A wildlife rescue in northern Utah is commending a man who found a creative way to rescue an abandoned baby bird while out
drinking with friends. Staff at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah say they received a call from a man who “had a few too many” alcoholic drinks but discovered a baby lesser goldfinch struggling on the ground. About an hour later the bird arrived at the center by itself in an Uber. Staff later learned that the man had called the car as he was too intoxicated to drive. Center director Dalyn Marthaler says the bird, who they nicknamed “Petey,” was thin and dehydrated when he arrived. He says the bird should be released into the Utah wilderness in a few weeks.
Couple proves love is ageless at assisted living facility
SYLVANIA, Ohio — Ohio’s John and Phyllis Cook are living proof love is ageless. WNWO-TV reports the couple living at retirement facility in Sylvania went to get their marriage license at the county courthouse in Toledo in late June and decided to tie the knot there and then. John just turned 100. Phyllis will be 103 in August. The couple’s relationship after dating a year had grown to the point where Phyllis thought it best they get married. She says it might seem “far-fetched” at their age, “but we fell in love with each other.” Both were married twice
previously to spouses who died. They spend lots of time together, but have decided to maintain their own apartments. Asked what their favorite activity is, John replied: “Well, I probably shouldn’t talk about that.”
Historical marker commemorates reported alien abduction
PASCAGOULA, Miss. — A historical marker has been placed near the river where two men in southern Mississippi said they were abducted by aliens in 1973. News outlets report the city of Pascagoula dedicated the marker in June at Lighthouse Park. Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker said they were on the shores of the Pascagoula River when what appeared to be aliens pulled them onboard a UFO, examined them for about 30 minutes and then returned them to Earth. Both reported the event to the sheriff’s department and were checked out at a hospital after it happened Oct. 11, 1973. The story has become known worldwide. Parker published a book about the experience in 2018. Hickson died in 2011. Both said many people doubted their story. A few witnesses have

Wisconsin man gets jail for clogging women’s toilets
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — A Wisconsin man has been sentenced to 150 days in jail for repeatedly clogging women’s toilets, including at places he worked. Thirty-five-year-old Patrick Beeman pleaded no contest to five counts of misdemeanor criminal damage to property. The state recommended a 30-day sentence for the crime, but Sheboygan Press Media reports that Judge Kent Hoffmann gave Beeman 30 days for each count, to be served consecutively. The Sheboygan man also was ordered to serve three years of probation and pay $5,500 in restitution. Prosecutors say Beeman told police he gets urges to do odd things, like look for bottles in the garbage to clog toilets and cause them to overflow. Police found a toilet in the women’s bathroom at Deland Community Center clogged by a plastic bottle last March, an incident similar to 10 others beginning in 2017.
Rhode Island tries to cancel Mickey, Bugs from elections
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Sorry Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and other fictional characters and celebrities who have received write-in votes in a Rhode Island election. Some state lawmakers don’t want those ballots to count. The Providence Journal reports that the House Judiciary Committee approved legislation in June requiring people who want to be write-in candidates to file a notice of their intent no later than the Friday before an election. Write-ins are a way for voters to express their displeasure with the official candidates. Mickey Mouse got 309 writein votes in state elections in 2018. But Miguel Nunes, deputy director of state Board of Elections, told lawmakers tallying write-ins is a “monumental responsibility.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island opposes the measure, saying if passed it “would literally mean that every vote does not count.”

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You’re getting hassled by someone who isn’t dealing with you openly. Calling them out won’t do you any good. Don’t stoop to their level. You’ll have more power in this situation if you leave it alone. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) You had more than your share of change. Too much too fast makes it hard to know where anything’s heading. Don’t over think this. The best laid plans won’t pan out if you can’t figure out how to keep it simple. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) Whatever you thought was going to give is about to pop, for better or worse. At this point you don’t care how it goes. You’d just as soon lose it all as have to keep being held down by what no longer applies. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You’re a fool for love. Even if you know better you can’t stay away from this. If experience is the only teacher hopefully you’ll learn something before this lesson takes you too far down the garden path. Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) Don’t
feed into your fears. It does no good to play victim. You have more strength than you give yourself credit for. Whomever you think has the power to screw your life up can’t hang onto it if you take it back. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) Instead of pushing the stress factor, try turning off the on switch. Too much Yang energy burns us out. You’re so overworked a good dose of Yin and some time in the Joy Zone will give you a chance to recharge. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) You’re in a state of shell shock. Sorting through the rubble will help you tune into to what you’re really dealing with. All of this happened for a reason. Focus on the solution, not the problem. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) So what if you’re not in control? This is the real life version of 52 PickUp. Get out of the way and let the cards fall into place. At times like this it’s faith and our inner resources that pull us through. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21)
If you haven’t made a stand, you will. Even if it doesn’t change the way people think, it just might show them that you’ve had it. Their response will be in keeping with their mentality. Don’t expect too much. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) Pressure to do more than your share is always an issue. You deprive people of so much by doing everything for them. This MO stopped working for you a long time ago. The sooner you give it up, the better. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) Fears of what might rock the boat shouldn’t stand in your way. Others won’t have a problem with it. This could mean more to them than it does to you so go right ahead and do whatever you need to do. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) The need to follow your heart has landed you in the middle of a very complex situation. Making things right won’t be easy. You know this better than anyone. Don’t delay your truth telling too much longer.
