On a recent day spent at the Palm Beach County satellite clinic in Loxahatchee, Miami Children’s Hospital gastroenterologist Dr. Alisa Muniz Crim was scheduled to see 27 patients, including 14-year-old Ericka Orelus, above, from Lake Worth.

BUILD IT AND THEY

WILL COME

Thanks to a $3 million grant, Miami Children’s Hospital specialists now make monthly visits to Palm Beach County to treat patients. By ANGIE FRANCALANCIA Neighborhood News Group

LOXAHATCHEE — The hospital directive was “be where the children are.” That goal – coupled with a $3 million grant from the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation – is how local families are getting appointments with Miami Children’s Hospital specialists in their own backyard. In a small office suite near Palms West Hospital, local children get care from some of South Florida’s premier specialists for some of the most severe illnesses and disorders. “Our goal at Miami Children’s Hospital is to take care of any child who needs help,” said Dr. Chad Perlyn, a craniofacial specialist who treats cleft palates as well as some of the most unusual facial birth defects. “We’re

delighted to do that no matter their socioeconomic status, their distance from the hospital or their need.” The center opened 10 months ago with a few specialists each seeing a handful of patients about once a month. Inside the suite of offices, the walls are adorned with murals from Carlos Pereira, the same Miami area artist whose work is found throughout Miami Children’s. Any family who has visited Miami Children’s would find themselves in familiar surroundings. The Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation is providing $1 million a year for three years to pay for the offices. It is the first time the foundation has provided a grant to Miami Children’s Hospital, said Foundation President and CEO Patty McDonald. The long-term goal is to open two

additional practices in Palm Beach County. “From Miami Children’s Hospital’s perspective, they did research on where they felt the first location should be located,” she said. “They looked for the area with the greatest needs in the patient population for the specialists.” Today, 6 specialists bring a host of care to Palm Beach County, and see an average of 30 patients each a couple times a month. In addition to Perlyn, the specialists include a gastroenterologist, an endocrinologist, a neurologist, a nephrologist, and an orthopedic surgeon. In September, an allergy and immunology specialist will join them. While the doctors don’t perform surgeries at local hosSEE KIDS’ CARE / PAGE 9

Only a fraction of the eligible voters cast ballots last month, but they decided nearly 2 to 1 that Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District’s ages-old system of acre-based voting must change. That decision will be costly, according to the Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District board. Board members agreed they should let everyone know immediately that they plan to add $13.50 per acre to every landowner’s bill as a one-time special assessment to raise the estimated $106,000 the change will cost. “It’s disappointing to have to raise taxes for this. It’s not the most efficient use of increased funds,” Board member Don Widing said. “But, we are obligated to follow the law.” The board expects a packed meeting August 8 when it plans to discuss and adopt its new budget. The board planned to send every landowner a letter explaining the increase. The $13.50 per acre will be in addition to the proposed regular assessment of $137 per acre, for a total assessment of $150.50. “For someone with 10 acres, that’s another $135,” Widing said. The board also approved hiring engineering firm Erdman Anthony for a fee not to exceed $22,800 to create the population maps required for the new voting system. Qualified electors voted 154 in favor and 85 opposed to having at least one seat on the board be voted on by popular election, thus giving small landowners equal weight to the owners of big properties, which, it was argued, can easily sway the votes based on acres. Loxahatchee Groves held the vote after residents Marge Herzog and Don Williams forced it through a petition drive outlined in state statutes. Under the statutes, the only SEE VOTE / PAGE 2

Mark Nosacka, chief executive officer of Good Samaritan Medical Center, recently won the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches 2011 Health/Science Professional of the Year award. Nosacka received the award for overseeing the expansion of medical staff, programs and services at Good Samaritan, including establishing a Primary Stroke Center. The award was presented at a recent Chamber awards breakfast.

people eligible to vote had to be both property owners and registered voters. While that requirement trimmed the list of eligible voters, the extremely low turn-out still surprised both sides. “I expected more people to turn out,” Herzog said. “I knew of at least 20 who didn’t vote because they were out of town, though.” The statute didn’t address absentee ballots, and the water control district didn’t allow them, Herzog said. People will come out after they find out what it’s going to cost them, board members said. However, only about a quarter of eligible voters participated even though the board had sent a letter prior to the vote estimating that the change would cost $70,000. The district now estimates it will spend $60,950 this budget year and $45,350 next budget year when the first votes are cast under the new system. The biggest chunk of the money is an estimated $38,000 in legal feels – $28,000 this bud-

“We congratulate Mark Nosacka on his well-deserved award. He is a true leader in the eyes of Good Samaritan Medical Center’s employees, patients and among the local community,” said Marsha Powers, senior vice president, Tenet Florida Region. More than 400 community and business leaders gathered at the Palm Beach County Convention Center for the annual awards breakfast.

get year and $10,000 next budget year. It also includes $25,000 for Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District to have lawmakers in Tallahassee change its legislation to reflect the new voting system. The district was created as a special taxing district by the state, and any changes to its operating legislation must be changed by the state Legislature. And it includes a budget of $22,800 for Erdman Anthony to develop the socalled Urban Area Maps. While there are land use maps of Loxahatchee Groves’ 8,000 acres that seem to indicate enough higher density pockets to convert two of the five district seats to a popular vote system, District Administrator Clete Saunier said its necessary to have an engineer create exact maps that can stand up to legal challenge. He expects the maps to be challenged by landowners of both small and large properties. The maps must be completed within 60 days, so Erdman Anthony has until August 26 to deliver them to the district. 

Letters to the Editor

Ernie Zimmerman’s adventures in car buying strike a chord with readers Editor’s Note: Thank you to all the readers who sent Ernie Zimmerman e-mails asking which dealer treated Ernie honestly during his recent carbuying adventure (“Buying a car online same old song and dance,” July issue). To say the least, we were quite amazed – as well as a little amused – by the number of e-mails requesting Ernie share the name of the car dealer that eventually earned his trust along with his business. Below is just a sample of the e-mails that poured in, basically all asking the same question: “Ernie, who is the honest dealer?” For those readers who didn’t send in an e-mail but are still wondering the name of the dealer, you’re out of luck. The only way to discover the name is to ask Ernie himself. Feel free to send him an e-mail at ez@palmswestmonthly.com.

Good advice for when son buys his first car

Hi Ernie, I read your article the other day while I was on my lunch break. I have a couple of ideas of who the dealer might be, but

Tennis

Wellington to offer innovative tennis program for 10 and under The village was one of only three sites in Florida to be awarded a grant to promote USTA’s QuickStart tennis program. By ANGIE FRANCALANCIA Neighborhood News Group

WELLINGTON — The Village of Wellington has been selected as one of three sites in the state and only 25 nationwide where the United States Tennis Association will be introducing its QuickStart Tennis play format to players 10 and under. Through a grant from USTA Florida and USTA National, local instructor Debbie Ellsworth will be introducing the program throughout the village.

QuickStart Tennis is a program that makes the size of courts and racquets more kidfriendly, enabling them to have early success with the game. The USTA plans to use QuickStart for all its sanctioned tournaments for 10 and under players starting in 2012. The goal of scaling the game for children is to allow them to have success on the courts so they’ll continue playing. The USTA’s $10 million investment to promote 10 and Under

Tennis QuickStart Format of Play begins this year in 25 communities nationwide, with the goal of expanding to 100 communities by 2013. The USTA is the national governing body for the sport of tennis in the United States, and is comprised of more than 750,000 members. “QuickStart means lower nets, smaller courts, lighter racquets and lower bouncing balls, all just giving each child success so they’ll continue to play,” Ellsworth said. “This grant came to us due to our success at the Wellington Tennis Center.” Ellsworth began a QuickStart Tennis program for kids 8 and under last year at the

Wellington Tennis Center. This year, under contract with USTA Florida, Ellsworth will expand the program to 10-year-olds and bring the program to tennis courts throughout Wellington. The fall session for 10-and-under begins Sept. 27 at the Wellington Tennis Center, and Ellsworth says anyone interested in signing up their child can register at the tennis center. “We’ll be using the schools, the neighborhood tennis courts to allow every child in our community to hopefully get involved in the program,” Ellsworth said. A one-day instructor’s clinic

will be held Sept. 18 by the USTA, and it’s open to anyone interested in becoming a QuickStart instructor. “Tennis pros, players, even high school students looking for volunteer hours are welcome to come out,” said Ellsworth. For more information about QuickStart 10 and Under Tennis, or for more information on becoming an instructor, call Debbie Ellsworth at 313-1083.

In Brief State approves homestead exemption for active military The Florida Legislature has approved an additional Homestead Exemption benefit for U.S. military personnel on active duty who serve in certain military operations outside the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. The amount of exemption is determined by the property’s taxable value multiplied by the number of days the service member was on deployment, divided by the number of days in that year. The Property Appraiser’s Office will calculate the exemption for those who apply. Service members deployed in 2010 can qualify for the additional homestead exemption benefit this year. Sept. 15 is the extended deadline to file a claim for someone who served during 2010. The property must already hold an existing Florida standard homestead exemption benefit. The exemption will not be automatically renewed and the service member must apply for the additional benefit each year of their deployment. The new exemption is available to service members of any branch of the U.S. military and reserves, U.S. Coast Guard and reserves, and the Florida National Guard. The Active Military Service Exemption form is available to download from pbcgov.com/

In Memoriam

Wellington’s first manager integral part of village’s growth By LARA C. CHAPMAN Neighborhood News Group

Charlie Lynn, Wellington’s first manager who served the village for 11 years, passed away Tuesday, July 12, four days after undergoing heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. He was 58. Originally from Kentucky, Lynn received a bachelor of science degree in urban and regional planning from Murray State University in Murray, Ky. in 1977. He received a law degree from Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University in 1984. Mr. Lynn spent more than 30 years working in city management, including serving as Ocala’s assistant city manager from 1987 to 1994. After leaving Ocala, Mr. Lynn served for two years as city manager for the City of Henderson, Ky. He eventually became Wellington’s first permanent

manager in 1996 soon after it became a municipality, a position he held until he retired in 2008. Known for his effective leadership, Mr. Lynn successfully made Wellington compliant with the Everglades restoration project, sparing the community millions in heavy penalties. “My experiences with Charlie Lynn were from my past community involvement since I did not serve on the council during Mr. Lynn’s service,” said Wellington Councilwoman Anne Gerwig. “However, I do remember him as highly professional and thoughtful in his duties to Wellington. He will always be an important part of our history. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,” Gerwig added. For the past two years, Mr. Lynn served as town administrator for Southwest Ranches in Broward County.

Charlie Lynn Funeral services were held at Fountain Avenue United Methodist Church in Paducah, Ky., followed by burial at Mt. Kenton Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, Patsy, a teacher at Binks Forest Elementary School, and two children, Molly Elizabeth Lynn and Michael Thomas Lynn.

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman

To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the dilemma Facebook junkie has a friend request: Help him decide if it’s time to buy a computer built in the modern era. For the folks who know me, or have been reading my column for some time, you know how I feel about computers and the modern age that we live in. You also know that I still live between the years 1968-1972, and I refuse to leave (well, almost). I must admit my computer is still dial up. In fact, it’s the same computer that my kids used in college. Are those chuckles I hear? Why get rid of something that still works fine? A couple of weeks ago I had a guy doing some work in my house. When I turned on my computer he came running in to see what the noise was. He knew he was hearing a familiar noise, but couldn’t put his finger on it until he entered my “computer room.” When he realized it was a dial-up computer, he couldn’t stop laughing. He said a computer like mine went out in the “dark ages.” Of course, his “dark ages” and my “dark ages” are totally different. My dark ages are horse and buggy days, his are dial-up computers. My kids won’t stop bugging me to upgrade my computer. In fact, one of my

kids, Brian, earns his living in the computer field. AT&T and Comcast want me to upgrade also. Everyday I get mail or a phone call from one or the other, sometimes both in the same day. They are begging me to switch to their system. They keep telling me how much I would welcome coming into the modern world. It really isn’t the money (although I admit I have been accused of being a bit cheap). I only pay $14.95 a year for my dialup computer service. I understand that you get what you pay for, but I feel if I got a ”real computer” I would never leave my house. I’d be on the darn thing 24/7. That’s especially so since a strange thing happened about three months ago while at the library. I was using their computer (that I pay taxes for, so I considerate it MY computer) when I discovered a thing called facebook. I found facebook by accident. It seems that a couple of years ago someone made a facebook account for me that I never used. In my slow quest to maybe come into

It takes hours to read my wall. Oh yeah, the chat rooms are also very interesting, to say the least. Now the big decision: Do I upgrade my home computer or continue going to the library and my son’s house? My grandkids are starting to hate when they see me coming through the door. My son is thinking of putting a lock on his computer, but the library on the other hand wants to name a room after me. Decisions, decisions. I hate making decisions and I do enjoy living between 1968-1972. But I can see a big change coming into my life. Thanks to everyone who sent me an e-mail last month. Maybe just maybe you can send me an e-mail on how to solve my computer problems. Write me at ez@palmswestmonthly.com.

the year 2011, I have been quietly trying to teach myself the wonders of the computer. Thus, facebook popped up one day, and, as they say, the rest is history. So far, I found 179 people who want to be my friend. (Yeah, I know there must be something wrong with them.) I now find myself at the library or my kids’ house almost everyday. I go to these places not to get educated or play with my grandkids. I must admit I go because “I am a facebook addict.” Yes, I admit it. I am on facebook almost everyday for at least three hours a day. I now know how a drug addict feels. I am trying to break the addiction, but I am having a lot of trouble trying. I find myself throwing my grandkids off their computer so I can use it. My experience on facebook has not been all bad. I have met a cousin I haven’t seen or heard from in over 29 years. I found out she only lives three houses from me. I have also met two friends I haven’t seen in over 40 years. I also found a site on facebook about my old neighborhood. It is a very interesting site. As you can see I’m enjoying myself on facebook. Because I have so many friends on facebook, the additions to my wall never stop.

MANELY SPEAKING

Healthy feet can mean a happy horse Many behavior problems can be solved by understanding your horse’s foot issues. By LAURA DANOWSKI Neighborhood News Group

Did you ever stop and wonder how something works? Probably when you had to fix it, right? And this something probably broke because it wore out or was used improperly. Well, horse’s feet are no different. At the barn, many conversations about lameness go something like this: “Why aren’t you riding your horse today?” “He’s lame.” “What from?” “We’re not sure, something in his front end.” “Where in front?” “We’re not sure.” The vet arrives and a lameness exam starts at the foot. Diagnostics can include digital x-rays, nerve blocks and flexion tests. The cost flirts with $1,000. Technology has surely advanced lameness diagnosis, but I traded in my vet’s opinion for my farrier’s, and my horse hasn’t been lame in four years! A horse’s body is a magnificent set of levers, pulleys and fulcrums. The systems must give-and-take to transfer weight and afford motion. If you think about the cause of a problem, not the symptom, many equine lameness issues can be averted by proper trimming and shoeing of their feet. All feet are not the same, nor is each foot on a horse the same. A good farrier assesses the horse as it stands and moves before working on its feet. One farrier I’ve come to rely on is Lindsay Holland, who also rides professionally and has solved behavior issues by making the horse physically comfortable. Lindsay has been a farrier by trade for almost 15 years. She became interested in feet as a teen when her farrier wouldn’t shoe her horse as she requested and the horse’s lameness wasn’t going away. She is not Longfellow’s image of the village smithy – matter of fact, she’s a petite blonde who cleans up just fine. When Lindsay first looked at my horse she asked, “Did you know his left front leg is longer than his right?” She also pointed out the heels of his right front hoof rolled under the foot, instead of having a vertical pitch. More critique included the front of his right front hoof splaying out, as well as the left hind being flat and under slung. “No, I never noticed. The horse is like the car, you put the key in the ignition, turn it on and it goes,” I quipped. Then Lindsay asked, “Does he go better to the right or the left?” “Oh the left for sure.” “Do you know why?” she said. “No, I don’t,” I said relunctantly.

Hence my education began on fixing the horse. Willie’s solution includes a wedged shoe and wedge pad on his right front hoof to compensate for the shorter leg. Within a week 90 percent of our training problems to the right disappeared as did the stiffness in his back and his poor work ethic. Since 2007 Lindsay has shod or trimmed every horse in my barn. In five week intervals I’ve watched her help a crippled horse walk without pain as well as make the good ones go better. The horse’s hoof grows up to a quarter inch per month, meaning vigilant maintenance is a must. Lameness solutions are not a ‘presto’ kind of thing and are usually achieved in deliberate, measured steps. The horse’s foot is an incredible, moving structure of bone, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues. Some of the interior tissue holding the bones and tendons in place is akin to the tissue that holds the underside of our nails to our fingers. Each time the hoof lands, the foot absorbs shock as the interior tissue allows the hard exterior of the foot to expand and contract. The sole of their foot is tough and has a concave shape. There is also a very sensitive area called the frog which assists with shock and the foot’s overall job. Maintaining the correct length of the foot and corresponding angles of their heels, pasterns and the associated stress on tendons and ligaments is imperative to their soundness. Imagine wearing swim flippers while on land. Now go about your daily routine. This is a very simple cause and effect analogy if the horse’s toes get too long. The entire body is thrown out of alignment and functionality and their piecesparts bare undue damage. We have domesticated the horse for things nature didn’t intend. At least we help them with specialized athletic footware. A conservative estimate of what a horse competing at the winter equestrian festival spends annually on shoes is $6,500-ish. On your next outing to the barn or maybe WEF or a polo match remember … victories begin on good footing. 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.

pitals, they work with area physicians and hospitals for both referrals and post-operative care, Perlyn said. “If I operate on a (Palm Beach County) child in Miami, I’ll often refer the family to have all their postoperative therapy at Palms West,” he said. “Obviously not every family can come to Miami every other day.” Miami Children’s knew its specialists already were serving a large population of families who had to travel the hour or more for care from Palm Beach County. Opening the center brings the care to them. On a recent day, gastroenterologist Dr. Alisa Muniz Crim was scheduled to see 27 patients – infants with feeding problems or youngsters with malnutrition, others with acid reflux, and some with chronic autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s Disease. “Every year we learn more and more about things like celiac disease and Crohn’s and colitis,” Crim said. “If

CMS is a program for eligible lowincome children with special needs.

Initially, most of the patients Crim and the other doctors saw at the Palm Beach County office were existing patients who had been making the long trek from Palm Beach County to Miami Children’s Hospital. Today, many are new patients seeing her for the first time much closer to home. “We see patients from all over the state,” Perlyn said. 

Chris Evans stars as Steve Rogers in Paramount Pictures’ “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

‘Captain America’ is solid, old-fashioned By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Writer

Let Tony Stark make the wisecracks and Nick Fury give the intimidating commands. As Steve Rogers, Chris Evans brings an earnest dignity and intelligence to “Captain America: The First Avenger,” the final Marvel Comics setup for next summer’s all-star blockbuster “The Avengers.” There’s little humor here outside a few moments in which this superhero discovers the full breadth of his powers and the presence of Tommy Lee Jones, who shows up and does that bemused, condescending thing he can do in his sleep. Director Joe Johnston’s film feels weighty and substantial, even in the dreaded and needless 3-D, and it has a beautiful, sepia-toned, art-deco look about it. The lighting, production design, costumes, even the perfect shade of red lipstick on retro-chic Hayley Atwell all look just right. Plenty of action awaits, but it’s not empty or glossy. You are not in for a giddy, winking, high-flying summer fling. And that’s OK — there’s something appealing about such an old-fashioned approach. Evans, who previously played a Marvel comic-book hero as the smart-alecky Human Torch in both “Fantastic Four” movies, takes a very different tone here as the World War II fighting hero. Rogers is a scrawny kid from Brooklyn with dreams of military glory who keeps getting rejected

each time he tries to sign up for service. (In a creepy but seamless special effect, Evans’ head is placed on a skinny body; that deep, serious voice of his gives the character gravitas and heart.) Scientist Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) sees something special in him, though, and enlists him for a daring experiment. Through some high-tech injections, Steve is transformed into a super soldier known as Captain America. Despite his newly buffed physique, the government believes the best use of this human weapon is to send him out on tour selling war bonds. But Rogers isn’t the only one who’s been juicing: Hugo Weaving plays the former Nazi leader Johann Schmidt, who will reveal himself to be the villainous Red Skull. He’s formed his own splinter group, Hydra, and insists that his minions greet him with a Hitler-style salute. He’s built some formidable weaponry with the help of Toby Jones as his put-upon scientist assistant. The rest of the abundant supporting cast includes Jones as Col. Chester Phillips, who’s skeptical of the kid’s abilities; Dominic

Cooper as the clever and charming inventor Howard Stark; and Atwell as British agent Peggy Carter. Atwell’s gorgeous looks make her a great fit for the part, but her character is better developed than you might imagine; she’s no damsel in distress, waiting for Captain America to save her, but rather a trained fighter who’s very much his equal. But “Captain America” is far more engaging when it’s about a scrappy underdog overcoming the odds than it is about generic shoot-outs and exploding tanks. It only scratches the surface in trying to examine the perils of premature fame. And in satirizing our country’s tendency to fetishize patriotism, “Captain America” doesn’t have much that’s new to say: We worship and cling to our heroes, whether or not they want or deserve our adulation? Is that it? Still, such a reserved take on the subject might just be preferable to heavy-handed preaching. And we’re surely in store for an over-the-top spectacle when “The Avengers” hits theaters next year. ‘Til then, this is a nourishing appetizer.

Panther Run students aim to make area parks smoke-free By FOLEY WALKER Neighborhood News Group

Members of Girl Scout Troop 20244 at Panther Run Elementary School have been making waves with local governments for their work on a tobacco-free parks project. The girls – Alexis Blumberg, Haley Johnston, Tabatha Levy, Emma Romano, Jill Rooney and Gabrielle Thaw – met with Wellington officials in late May to discuss the possibility of making the village’s parks tobacco-free. Troop Leader Tanya Thaw said her scouts began their project last September when they volunteered for a trash cleanup at Lake Worth Beach, and were dismayed that much of the trash they collected consisted of cigarette butts. “They were just disgusted by all the cigarette butts,” she said. During the cleanup the girls met Janiece Davis of the Palm Beach County Health Department, who explained the work she was doing in the City of Lake Worth to create tobacco-free parks. The girls, who are all 4th and 5th grade students, joined forces with Davis and shared her success when the Lake Worth City Commission unanimously voted to make their parks and beaches tobacco-free in April. Thaw said Davis has been instrumental in helping the troop learn about the problems caused by tobacco, as well as the workings of local government. “Not only have they learned about the pollution, and the health issues related to smoking, but they’ve also learned a lot about marketing and smoking, and the way government runs and how laws

are passed, to the point where they are approaching local government,” she said. On May 25, Wellington’s Operations Manager Jim Barnes and Parks & Recreation Director Bruce Delaney went to Panther Run to meet with the troop, Davis and Principal Scott Blake to discuss the girls’ proposal to make Wellington’s parks tobacco-free. Barnes said the girls were pleased to learn the village already has an ordinance in place restricting smoking in Wellington’s parks to designated areas. He said the village has given them large-scale aerial photos of the village’s parks so they can help

with a public awareness campaign that includes posters they’ve created. “We’ll facilitate and work with them to come up with better signage and have a better notification and posting system,” he said.

Barnes said he told the troop that raising awareness may yield better results than an outright ban that would be difficult to enforce. “You can have the best resolutions and regulations, but if you don’t have the implementation and enforcement aspect, it won’t do any good,” he said. “The parks are a great place to start because that’s where you have a large concentration of kids.” Thaw said the troop’s efforts were subsequently noticed at the county level. “A couple of days later they met with County Commissioner Karen Marcus,” she said. “She came to Panther Run and met with the girls, and asked them to send her a summary of what they had been doing, to see how it might work on the county level. Just the fact that they were able to meet with her was another accomplishment for them,” Thaw added. Thaw said the experience has been rewarding for her as well. “It’s great to see the excitement of the girls and the way they tackle an issue, and the way they get so empowered by it,” she said. “As a Girl Scout leader, it’s fabulous seeing the girls go out and make a difference, definitely.”

Wellington Landings principal accepts new position with school board Eric Paul has been named North Area Director for School Accountability where he’ll oversee 38 schools. Eric Paul, the principal who has guided Wellington Landings to lead all district middle schools in learning gains, is being asked to replicate that success at 38 schools. Paul has been named the new North Area Director for School Accountability. His replacement as new principal is expected to be named by the first week in August, he said. “We’ve closed the gap quite a bit for some of our lower performing groups – our Hispanic students and our economically disadvantaged students,” Paul said. Those gains are important for meeting the federal adequate yearly progress standards, he said. “AYP is the great equalizer because you can’t simply look at a school’s grades. You can be an A school, but have subgroups or pockets of kids who aren’t performing where you need them to,” he said. Paul’s job will be to guide the same kind of learning gains in 38 north area schools, offering support and resources to the teachers in those schools. Paul was named principal at Wellington Landings three years ago when long-time principal Mario Crocetti

moved to Wellington High School. His success at Wellington Landings included leading all the district middle schools in overall learning gains in reading during the 2010 school year and leading all the district middle schools in overall learning gains in math for the past two school years. But one of the programs he’s most proud of was Wellington Landings’ successful “You’ve Been Spotted” program that reinforced the three Rs of positive behavior – Respectful, Responsible and Resilient. “We really spent a lot of time on the school culture of positive behavior,” he said. Kids who were spotted demonstrating the characteristics were rewarded with a tag redeemable in the cafeteria for a special snack. “That program allowed the staff to give ‘on-the-spot’ simple recognition,” Paul said. “It was simple way for teachers to say, ‘I see you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing today.’” Last school year, 5,700 coupons were turned in, for an average of 4 or 5 per student.

Tree’s Wings recipe for success a family secret

Tree’s Wings and Ribs owners Andy (middle) and Linda Maynard, (right) along with General Manager Erin Peel (left) have built a loyal following for their family restaurant specializing in Buffalo style wings and baby back ribs.

Tree’s Wings and Ribs, under the guidance of owners Andy and Linda Maynard, has been a favorite of the Western Communities for nearly decades. By ANGIE FRANCALANCIA Neighborhood News Group

When Andy Maynard took over a little wings and barbecue place in Royal Palm Beach in the mid 1990s, he inherited a couple secret formulas and the beginnings of a loyal following. Sixteen years later, Tree’s Wings and Ribs is an area institution. They broke ground early on as one of the only places to deliver dinner far and wide in the Western Communities. While some customers were regulars for delivery or takeout, others enjoyed the comfortable family atmosphere with the big wooden tables. Perhaps no one was sure why the wings kept them coming back, but Maynard thinks he knows: “We have our own proprietary way of doing wings,” Maynard said. “We’ve perfected a three-fryer cooking system.” Don’t ask him to tell you more. It is a restaurant secret. The system, coupled with

Wellington offers select homeowners money for exterior safety lights Some Wellington homeowners may be eligible for up to $500 per household in a grant from the Defensive Measures Grant Program. The grant is designed to provide financial incentives for homeowners in Wellington’s transitional communities who would like to improve exterior lighting and safety through crime prevention strategies. The grant is available only to homeowners in transitional neighborhoods that include the 12th Fairway/White Pine, Folkestone/Yarmouth, Goldenrod, Guilford, Hawthorne, Montauk Village, Periwinkle, Sturbridge and Westhampton areas. Interested homeowners must submit a completed application, proof of occupancy, a brief description of the proposed improvements, documentation showing where the improvements are to be made and any applicable Code Compliance documentation. “Just the simple act of adding exterior lighting can go a long way toward improving neighborhood security,” says Neighborhood Services Manager Tracey Lamport. A total of $75,000 is available. Applications will be accepted until all available funds have been awarded. Applications are online at wellingtonfl.gov/departments/ neighborhood-services.html.

sauces made in the restaurant, makes Tree’s the “go to” place for wing aficionados. Original owner Glenn “Tree” Thompson formulated both the unusual cooking system and the flavorful sauces. A year later Maynard bought him out. He kept what worked – the secret sauces – and tweaked the system to keep up with the growing volume. Before expanding, there was routinely a wait for a table. Now, the customers are divided between those who eat in, those who take out, and those who let Tree’s deliver to them. Trees was voted Best Wings in Forum Publishing’s Best of the West contest for 12 years in a row, and Tree’s won the People’s Choice award for best ribs at the WIRK Rib Round-up at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The baby back ribs are done in traditional barbecue style – slow-cooked until they’re falling

off the bone. And the sauce is one of those secret formulas. Created by Tree himself, it’s never been altered. And it’s so unusual, no one would be able to copy it, Maynard said. Most people heading to Tree’s are hankering for wings or ribs, but Tree’s menu includes such a wide variety that it could easily satisfy everyone’s tastes. Tree’s serves seafood, burgers and salads as well as the selection of barbecue. Some of the appetizers are house-made, including the

popular jalapeño poppers and table-size serving of nachos. Seafood lovers will appreciate the real smoked marlin in the house-made fish dip recipe. Tree’s has two separate dining rooms and two bars. One room, known as Tree’s Lounge, is set aside for grown-ups only. There’s a bar with large-screen TVs offering a prime spot to watch football, baseball and more. But Tree’s clientele always has been families. The tables are big enough for a crowd. If your favorite family

table is at your own house, Tree’s has a few special deals on the take-out menu, including the famous “Family Deal of the Decade.” It’s a combo of wings, ribs and sides sure to satisfy even the biggest appetites. Now, customers are eating for less at Tree’s since every order earns a spin of Tree’s prize wheel for “Tree’s Dollars.” Patrons win anywhere between $1 and $10 to put toward their next order. The restaurant is open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to midnight.

Outside the Neighborhood Kansas woman fined for repeated littering in one yard

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — A Kansas woman ticketed for tossing her empty tea bottles in the same yard nearly every day for two years insists there was no malice involved. The Lawrence Journal-World reported that Carole Green, of rural Bonner Springs, entered a guilty plea to four counts of misdemeanor littering. Green was ticketed after a man who lives about two miles east of her photographed her throwing empty tea bottles into the yard of his rural Leavenworth County home. Green says the man’s yard just happened to be where she finished her tea each time. She also told the judge that if she had to do it over again, “of course, I wouldn’t do it.” Judge Gunnar Sundby imposed fines of $1,200 plus court costs – the minimum amount for first-time offenders.

Suspected paintball splotches blamed on birds

BAR HARBOR, Maine — A hotel guest in Bar Harbor, Maine, thought his car was the target of a paintball vandal, but police say it was actually the target of birds that fouled the car with their droppings. Police were called to the Bar Harbor Regency – the same

hotel where President Barack Obama stayed last summer – on July 6 by an employee who said a guest had reported the car was an apparent victim of vandalism, with large splotches that appeared to come from paintballs fired from a paintball gun. Bar Harbor police dispatcher Sharon Worcester said when an officer responded, he discovered the splotches were actually a “large amount of bird poo.” During the summer, Maine’s large gull population has been known to soil buildings and vehicles with their smelly droppings.

Police: Man stabs self after tripping over cat FREEMANSBURG, Pa. — A bizarre set of circumstances sent an eastern Pennsylvania man to the hospital with a self-inflicted stab wound to the chest. Freemansburg police say 50-year-old James Forte was opening a bag of coffee with a knife on Thursday night when his wife asked him a question. As he turned to her, Forte said a cat ran under his feet and he fell with the knife in his hand. The steak knife went about an inch into Forte’s chest. He was treated at a hospital and police say he will be fine. Freemansburg police Sgt. Martin Comer said he was skeptical at first but a preliminary investigation supports Forte’s story. The man’s wife and son corroborated the account. Comer said he will investi-

finding remnants of a meth lab in the room’s melted trash can. Police say several motel rooms were placed under quarantine until officials are certain there is no danger from the toxic materials used to make meth, an illegal stimulant.

Police: Drunken man arrested at sheriff ’s church

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Authorities in Tennessee say a drunken man was arrested after wandering into a church where the sheriff had been worshipping. Sheriff David Andrews said 42-year-old Gregory Blaine Wade of Cookeville showed up recently at the Jefferson Avenue Church of Christ just as a service was ending. According to the Cookeville Herald-Citizen, an arrest report said Wade became argumentative, was unsteady and had a 40-ounce bottle of beer in his backpack. He was charged with public intoxication. Wade was sentenced to 10 days in jail.

Meth charges filed in fire blamed on hot pastry

Phoenix suburb considers dog waste as power source

JACKSON, Tenn. — A Jackson man is in jail on charges of making methamphetamine after his motel room caught fire. Jackson police say they arrested 35-year-old Christopher Stanly Fondren following a fire in his room at the Old Hickory Inn. Fondren told firefighters he was microwaving a Hot Pocket pastry when it blew up. He was treated for minor burns to his face. Firefighters called police after

GILBERT, Ariz. — Officials in a Phoenix suburb are considering a plan that would turn dog waste collected from an area park into an energy source. Don’t pooh-pooh the idea before you hear it out. The Arizona Republic reports that students from Arizona State University would design and create a ``dog waste digester’’ that the city of Gilbert could use to turn pet leavings into methane gas that in turn generates power. The proposed project would use the new energy source to run a street lamp first, and possibly other uses later.

Ohio shop’s gorilla mascot attacked by banana

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — The manager of a cell phone store in Ohio called 911 to report a gorilla had been attacked by a banana. The Wireless Center in Strongsville, near Cleveland, advertises at curbside with a man in a gorilla suit. Manager Brandon Parham says he was watching in early July as a kid dressed as a banana emerged from some bushes and took a flying leap at the store mascot. Parham says the attacker looked like a Spartan from the movie “300” – except he was a banana. The gorilla was knocked down but got back up, adjusted his head and went back to work. WJW-TV reports the banana split – running down the street with other teens. Police think it was a prank. They weren’t able to find the offending fruit.

DOWNTOWN GAL

Flavor Palm Beach kicks off Aug. 26 in downtown West Palm Beach It’s that time of year again! Prepare your taste buds for an exciting and tantalizing adventure in Downtown West Palm Beach. Flavor Palm Beach – the popular and growing month-long restaurant promotion for Palm Beach County – kicks off Friday, Aug. 26 on Downtown’s amazing waterfront. Flavor Palm Beach first came into existence when Briana Beaty and fellow Downtown foodies were disappointed with the lack of “restaurant weeks” in Palm Beach County that have become so popular in cities like New York and Chicago. Knowing that Palm Beach County could rival larger cities with the abundance of unique and desirable dining options, they decided to bring the concept here and dedicate an entire month – September – to showcasing the many culinary options in the area. Of course, since Downtown West Palm Beach is the center of Palm Beach County, it was the only natural location to start the kick off celebration. On Aug. 26 from 6-9 p.m., head Downtown to take part in the fantastically free event. The

String Theory Band will perform live while you cruise the great lawn on the waterfront to try by-the-bite treats and treasures. My sources also tell me there will be a special dance performance, lessons and plenty of art to satisfy your creative hunger. I’ve even been told that there will be live models painted as food … talk about a new twist to an old event! The event itself is free, but dining tickets are available for purchase at just $35 in advance or $40 at the door, which will allow you to try cuisine from

more than 20 restaurants that are also taking part in the Flavor Palm Beach promotion. Enjoy tasty options from around the world courtesy of downtown restaurants like Pistache, Roxy’s, City Cellar Wine Bar and Grill, Morton’s The Steakhouse and Ruth’s Chris. All proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross. You can literally have your cake and eat it too – it’s a win-win! For tickets and details on all the participating restaurants, go online to FlavorPalmBeach. com. You might just discover

Aries (March 21 - April 20) As kids, we were warned against speaking to strangers. But, as adults, we can back off that admonition in many situations. Taking the initiative to introduce oneself to an unknown partygoer is perfectly permissible and may even lead to making a new friend. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) A snag in your plans will likely occur. With some quick thinking and fast acting, you should be able to avoid a major inconvenience. Happily, your disposition is tailor-made for making on-thespot adjustments to plan reversals. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Cloistered living is the norm for monks, but hardly the type of existence you should seek. If you’ve been cutting yourself off from social interaction lately, that is not prudent. Get back in the mainstream. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Do you have a special place that you consider your retreat? It needn’t be grandiose – just some spot that welcomes you when the world presses down a little too hard.

Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) Upon hearing the term “Ivy League,” it is not unnatural to conjure up the notion of elitism. While some may be put off by this stereotypical image of snootiness, your sense of entitlement affirms and endorses it. Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) Clearly, you are trying to do too much; trying to tackle aspects of your job that don’t suit you. Better to concentrate on your strengths and delegate to others those tasks that only serve to slow down your efficiency. Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) An ancient philosopher once said, “To like and dislike the same things, that is indeed true friendship.” Good friends are awfully rare. Put it on your mental checklist to touch base with someone you consider a soul mate. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your vibrant, sparkling self is being smothered by current negative influences. Fight back! Do not allow the flames of your peppy personality to be robbed of oxygen and deplete you of your vigor.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Any project that requires a hammer, saw or drill should be evaluated carefully. Blessed though you are with many talents, you do have a tendency toward clumsiness. Have a first-aid kit handy. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) “Taking the fifth” when your wife confronts you just isn’t going to fly. She will never let you get away with hiding from her questions. Accepting your licks while being forthright is, believe it or not, the better path. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) You may have overreacted to a loved one’s recent remarks. Either they caught you at a bad moment or they expressed themselves poorly. In any case, be open to making it right between you. Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) If there is anything you cannot abide, it is the curse of bureaucracy – paperwork, regulations, controls. They are not for anyone of your sensitivities. Give you the open road, no one to supervise you and you are happy as a clam.
