BURGERS HEAVEN from
By RON HAYES Palms West Monthly
WEST PALM BEACH — Heaven has a new address. And it’s twice the size. For more than 60 years, Hamburger Heaven served Palm Beachers down-home cooking for the upscale set. Movie stars, politicians and your average, garden-variety millionaires dropped by often for the burgers and fries, banana splits and chocolate shakes. In Palm Beach, Hamburger Heaven was to diner cuisine what The Breakers is to luxury resorts. And then, on June 27, 2012, expectant customers arrived at 314 S. County Rd. to find the door locked and the windows shrouded in white butcher paper. A proposed rent hike had sent Hamburger Heaven to comfort-food purgatory. Owner Cynthia Rosa vowed that her landmark eatery would rise again, and on January 24, it did – with a larger space, an expanded menu, longer hours and a liquor license. Now Rosa is waiting to see if her loyal Palm Beach customers will venture over the Intracoastal Waterway to One
North Clematis Street, and if West Palm residents favor her on a street with several other burger options. “When I bought Hamburger Heaven in 1991, nobody went over the bridge,” Rosa said recently, relaxing after the Valentine’s Day lunch rush had died down. “But over the years, as CityPlace and the Kravis Center opened, our little seasonal town lost the business we had enjoyed when there were fewer alternatives. So I knew the transition would not be impossible. It was just a matter of could I get them out of their comfort zone.” Bob and Mary Krener had no trouble leaving their comfort zone. As Rosa was speaking, they stopped by her table to say hello. “We’ve been coming to Hamburger Heaven for 13 years,” Mary Krener said. “We live in New York and every time we walk in, we just think we’re coming home.”
Back on the island at their Brazilian Avenue home, Bob had asked Mary what she wanted to do for Valentine’s Day. “I want to go to Ham Heaven and see Cindy,” she told him. Bob favors the bacon cheeseburgers, and Mary had the chopped Caesar salad with 1,000 Island dressing. “The food’s always fresh, and Cindy makes it special,” he said. “She’s so friendly and

WEST PALM BEACH — Ford’s first plug-in hybrid, the C-MAX Energi, is just one of the many highly anticipated cars to be featured at the 25th annual Auto Show of the Palm Beaches, to be held March 2-3 at Northwood University. Car enthusiasts also will have the opportunity to inspect the latest luxury models of Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini and Jaguar. “The C-Max represents the newest technology from Ford in fuel efficient hybrid technology at an affordable price,” said Timothy Gilbert, chairman of Northwood’s automotive marketing and management department. Teaming 33 car brands with 33 student captains, student chairman Joey Brunn is tasked with organizing the event. “It’s the largest outdoor show of its kind in the South,” said the automotive marketing and management major. “We’ll have upwards of 300 cars on campus.” The student executive board works with 150 students to plan this show that attracts some 20,000 visitors who may browse through an array of exotic, domestic, international and classic automobiles. Response from the automotive industry has been very positive, said Brunn. Attendees at this year‘s show include not only dealers, but companies such as Backdraft Racing, which hand builds roadsters and Horse Power Logic, performance tuning specialists. This year’s silver anniversary spectacular, “25 Years of Innovation” showcases key achievements of the industry’s technology and engineering. “We’ll also have a panorama of exotic vehicles and a major unveiling under the Braman Motors brand umbrella on Saturday afternoon, Gilbert said. The show, which is free to the public, runs 10 to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Northwood University is at 2600 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach.

In Brief Local students star in academic videos
As part of a new YouTube series, “Secrets of Successful Students,” Palm Beach County high school students have created videos that share their personal secrets to academic success. The videos feature the tips and tricks these students use to achieve academic success. The featured students are tutors for PeerGenius Tutors. The video “Conquering a Full Night of Homework,” was written and recorded by Emma Green, a senior at Dreyfoos School of the Arts. “I have always loved teaching and helping other students and was excited to share my strategies through the video,” Green said. The second video, “How to Start the Semester Strong,” was created and recorded by Svetha Mohan, a junior in the International Baccalaureate Program at Atlantic Community High School in Delray Beach. The videos can be viewed at youtube. com/user/peergenius.

then guests were welcomed into the Ponce de Leon ballroom, where they were greeted by emcee Willie Geist, co-host of NBC’s “Today” and co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Everglades Foundation CEO Eric Eikenberg also welcomed the guests and thanked them for their continuing support of the Foundation and America’s Everglades. After dinner in the tropical setting of the ballroom, Seinfeld showed guests why The Miami Herald calls him one of the “greatest comics of all time.” Following Seinfeld’s performance, auctioneer Guy Bennett led spirited bidding for exclusive tours in Africa, Argentina and America’s Everglades.

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com
Learning to live with vertigo hasn’t been all bad After loud ringing in his ears and dizzy spells led to a recent diagnosis of vertigo, Ernie is trying to figure out how best to cope. Since my years serving my country in Vietnam, I have endured living with ringing in my ears. Back then, I was in an artillery unit that used 8-inch and 175 mm guns, which were the
biggest artillery guns the U.S. had at the time. We fired at least 200-400 rounds a day. And even though I wore ear plugs, man, those guns were loud. So even though I suffer from hearing loss and loud ringing in
my ears, something happened the other night that has never happened to me before. Just as I was getting ready to go to sleep, the ringing got much louder. I mean it was really loud. It was so loud, in fact, that I couldn’t hear the TV. Then, without warning, the ringing turned into loud buzzing. Imagine someone sawing a piece of wood in your head – that’s what it sounded like. But that wasn’t the worst of it. When I looked up at my bedroom ceiling fan, it appeared to be going 500 miles per hour – even though I knew the fan wasn’t on at all. If I had been drinking that night, that would explain my symptoms, but since I hardly drink – and hadn’t had even a sip of alcohol that night – I was completely baffled. I tried standing up, which took some effort. When I was finally on my feet, the fan and the rest of the room finally stopped spinning. Now, unless there’s a hurricane aimed right at Palm Beach County, I don’t scare easily, but I’m not ashamed to admit that now I was scared. I wasn’t able to go to sleep, because every time I tried to lie
down I got dizzy. When morning finally arrived I called my doctor to explain my symptoms. It seems I needed to go in for some tests to check for vertigo. The first test I was given was to determine my level of balance. After they hooked me up to a machine, they put a blind fold over my eyes. I initially thought this could be fun. But then they proceeded to blow hot and cold air in my ears at regular intervals. They do this four times, two times in each ear, alternating hot and cold air a minute each time. The really strange part was that every time they blew air in my ears, I started getting dizzy exactly 27 seconds later. This turned out to be no fun at all. I wanted to stop the test after the first blast, but realized I needed to complete the test. So, like the good trooper that I am, I hung in there until the end. As I left the doctor’s office that day, it occurred to me that this was the first time in my life I had left a doctor’s office feeling sicker than when I arrived. Turns out that the results of the test were negative, so they needed to take an MRI of my brain. Now, Sharon and I have kids and we’ve been blessed with
grandkids, but nothing prepared me for the hour of loud banging I had to endure. Yes, they gave me earplugs – a lot of good they did. The test came back proving what my family has been telling me for years – there’s nothing in my brain. Thankfully, the MRI was negative. The bad news, however, was that because all the tests came back negative, there was nothing more my doctor could do to help me. It was suggested to me that I’d have to learn to live with the vertigo. It’s been a few weeks now, and so far it hasn’t been too bad. The best way to explain how I’m adjusting is that it usually takes four drinks to get me drunk. Now I always feel like I have already had two drinks – not really that bad of a bad feeling. If you or anyone you know has vertigo drop me an email let me know how you or they are adjusting to it. 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.

At The Movies
‘Ultima’ an earnest coming-of-age tale By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Writer
“Bless Me, Ultima,” the book, is a widely read and critically acclaimed piece of Chicano literature that also has been quite divisive since its publication in 1972. Some critics and parents have decried Rudolfo Anaya’s novel as anti-Catholic or too profane and pushed to have it banned from school districts across the country. “Bless Me, Ultima,” the movie, is a mostly gentle and tastefully photographed depiction of a young boy’s coming of age in rural 1940s New Mexico. His maturation includes a questioning of the Catholic faith of his parents and a curiosity about the Native American mysticism of his elders. But such musings feel more like an inherent part of the progression into adolescence, a fine-tuning of identity, rather than an intentionally subversive force. Besides, Luke Ganalon, who plays the boy at the center of the story, couldn’t be a more adorably precocious and optimistic little scamp. What sort of damage could he possibly do? Writer-director Carl Franklin presents the journey of Ganalon’s character, the wide-eyed Antonio Marez, in ways that are restrained and sometimes even stiff, despite the magic and violence that co-exist alongside each other. Some of the small-town “types” come off as a bit cartoonish: the eyepatch-wearing villain, the slurring and staggering drunk, But there is an earnestness and genuine sense of affection here that are appealing. At the film’s start, an elderly curandera, or folk healer, has come to live out her final days with Antonio’s family in their modest home. Ultima (the formidable Miriam Colon) emerges from a car gingerly but her inner strength is clear, as is her connection with Antonio; as a midwife, she brought him into the world. His former vaquero father (Benito Martinez from “The Shield”) and devout mother (Dolores Heredia) are duly respectful of her wisdom and power, while Antonio and his older sisters are a bit awed.

Cruzan Amphitheatre Miriam Colon stars as folk healer Ultima and Luke Ganalon stars as Antonio Marez in the Arenas Entertainment release “Bless Me, Ultima,” the story of a young boy’s coming of age in rural 1940s New Mexico.
(The three elder sons are off fighting in World War II.) Whispers in town that Ultima is a bruja, or witch, add to her mystery, as does the way she seeks revenge for a curse that’s placed on a family member. But her inner kindness becomes more obvious to Antonio as she walks the land with him, teaches him about the usefulness of various plants and offers advice on the importance of spirituality. In case that dialogue alone didn’t sufficiently spell out the film’s themes, pervasive voiceover from Alfred Molina as the adult Antonio – beginning with the rhetorical question, “Why is there evil in this
world?” – often hammers us over the head. The inclusion of such prose is a nod to the film’s literary origins but probably worked better on the page. Other moments are more subtle, though, as in the wordless ostracizing Antonio experiences on his first day of school as a poor and illiterate but eager farm kid. One of the first friends he makes is already a young atheist who speaks matter-of-factly about the tragedies that made him doubt his faith at such an early age; he does, however, attend catechism classes each week – if only to hang out with his buddies. Amen to that.

‘Wild Things’ art show raises $4,200 for wildlife charity The art show, held in Loxahatchee in early February, brought together artists throughout South Florida for a common cause. In a beautiful setting of verdant landscaping, the seventh annual “Wild Things – Art Show and Sale” benefitting the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation was recently held in the Loxahatchee home of Howard and Gisela Pferdekaemper. More than 400 guests attended the art show, which featured the works of 20 artists and raised more than $4,200 for the charitable foundation. “There’s a link between art and nature,” said the foundation’s curator, Karen McGovern, who also is a jewelry artist. “Raising money is wonderful, but this show is about education and outreach, as well as the promotion of the artists who generously gave 25 percent of the amount they sold during the show.” The Rare Species Conservatory Foundation was founded 25 years ago by McGovern’s husband, Paul Reillo, a population geneticist and zoologist. “Think of our property as a field station,” McGovern said, describing the foundation’s 38 acres in Loxahatchee. “We work with endangered species in captive settings so that we can return these animals to the wild.” Currently, the foundation’s
primary focus is on parrots, small primates and African antelopes. The Pferdekampers’ wildlife – a cockatoo, white peacocks, pheasants and quail – was very much in evidence at the show. Gisela has been painting her “roly-poly mares” for eight years. Having bred Hanoverians for more than 30 years, she knows her horses. “When they are pregnant, they are huge,” she said. Anthony Burks of West Palm Beach donated the mixed media parrot work he created that night to the silent auction. Melinda Moore of West Palm Beach went out to the foundation’s property and captured photos of the bongos as well as the golden lion tamarin, which was pictured in the event’s promotional materials. Also in attendance was author Tammy Hoag of Wellington, who has visited the foundation’s property and is now great friends with the pygmy marmoset. “Everybody loves him,” she said, “and he loves the ladies. He was on my head and in my hair.” Other artists at the
show included Mary Catello of Boca Raton, Teri Salomoni of Boynton Beach, Norman Gitzen of Lake Worth, Janet Heaton of West Palm Beach, Jill Elisofon of West Palm Beach, Rollin McGrail of Wellington and Mindy Colton, who brought her horse sculptures from Orlando. “I like a good cause,” Colton said.
Jill Elisofon exhibited jewelry that she creates using objects from all over the world.
West Palm Beach resident Anthony Burks donated his mixed media parrot work that he created at the show.

fountains. Bring the kiddos to the fountains on a Thursday night where they can splash and play in these gushing spouts while you enjoy the live music, crafts and food at the popular Clematis by Night. This free weekly concert series takes place every Thursday from 6-9 p.m. Speaking of food and fun, allow me to share my two favorite spots to dine waterside with you! Hamburger Heaven is a brand new restaurant to the Downtown area that recently relocated from Palm Beach and, I must say, it’s great having them here! Hamburger Heaven has actually been around since 1947 and every time I visit it’s as if I have been transported to another era! We’re talking mouthwatering burgers, hand-spun milkshakes and mile-high homemade cakes set in a true diner style. Poodle skirts are optional. The menu has updates too, like their “Dog Lovers” menu for the outdoor patio and extra vegetarian choices. Hamburger Heaven is located at 1 N. Clematis St. To learn more, call (561) 655-5277 or visit hamburgerheavenpb.com. On the south side of Clematis Street lies Tin Fish, a true pearl of a seafood restaurant. We all know that waterfront and seafood go hand in hand so it makes perfect sense that this spot would be my top choice for all my seafood foodies out there! This restaurant can be described in one word: FRESH. I always order a half dozen raw oysters on the half shell as a starter and the Mahi fish tacos. Yum! Tin Fish has a friendly staff and a beautiful upstairs bar overlooking the waterfront. When you go, tell them the
Downtown Gal sent you! Tin Fish is located at 118 S. Clematis St. Call (561) 223-2497 or go online to tinfishclematis.com to check out their complete menu. Once you’ve finished noshing, mosey on over to the waterfront where great events are waiting for you to enjoy! Besides the weekly Clematis By Night, there’s also a weekly GreenMarket, as well as flea markets, monthly dance parties, outdoor movie screenings and jazz concerts. The waterfront is jam-packed with events and fun things to do year-round and the best part is that the events I just mentioned are all free! That’s right, you can work up a sweat by dancing, relax with the sweet sounds of jazz music as you snuggle up under the stars, or sit back and enjoy a popular flick on a giant movie screen without spending a dime! The possibilities are endless which is why the waterfront is my No. 1 go-to spot to lounge back and loosen up with my family and friends. Until next time, I’ll see you Downtown! The Downtown Gal is a regular contributor to Palms West Monthly. She lives, works and plays in Downtown West Palm Beach and will keep our readers abreast of the latest events and goings-on throughout the year.

helpful and professional.” The Hamburger Heaven the Kreners found covers 4,445 square feet, compared to 2,000 at the old address. The menu’s bigger, too, with healthier choices offering an alternative to the burgers and fries. You can get a tofu or veggie burger now, organic granola, or design your own salad from 40 ingredients. But the heart of Ham Heaven remains its road map of geographical burgers, all named by Rosa, such as the Bronx Burger and the San Antonio burger. The Windy City burger sports cheddar and bacon – ”C” and “B” for Chicago Bulls – while the Honolulu burger is topped with pineapple and jalapeños. The jalapeños are to honor the island’s volcanoes. “That’s just me thinking I’ve been very clever,” Rosa jokes. And while the Palm Beach address employed about 24 people, the new location has around 50.
“About 80 percent of our former staff waited out the summer to stay with us,” Rosa boasted. She’ll need a larger staff to fill the expanded hours. In Palm Beach, Heaven was open until 8:30 p.m., but closed at 4:30 p.m. from April to November and always on Sundays. On Clematis, they’ll open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. “This is not a hamburger joint,” Rosa says. “It’s classic American food in a diner atmosphere.” Still, the competition is undeniable. There’s Grease Burger Bar up the block, and Duffy’s Sports Grill not much farther. Five Guys Burgers & Fries in the 300 block closed after less than a year because a strong lunch crowd couldn’t make up for a lack of business past 4 p.m. But Rosa is optimistic that Grease and Duffy’s will not triumph over Heaven. “They’re bars that serve food,” she said. “We’re a restaurant that serves alcohol.”

important for our Village – it shows our residents, participants and other municipalities that Wellington Parks and Recreation is professional, valued, and held to a higher standard of excellence. I’m proud of the department and the Village for achieving this great accomplishment. The Village’s numerous facilities and services help to make the Parks and Recreation department truly exceptional. One of our flagship facilities that I would like to highlight is Village Park. The 93-acre park and recreational facility offers a great variety of features including a 2.5-mile lighted trail with exercise stations and a boardwalk leading to Peaceful Waters sanctuary, home to birds, wildlife, aquatic and upland plant life. Other Village Park amenities include a skate park, two gyms, four classrooms, a game room, nine lighted soccer fields, two lighted hockey rinks, four lighted baseball fields, a playground, three lighted fields, a practice field, multiple concessions and restrooms and four pavilions. Village Park hosts organized sports and athletic leagues such as softball, flag football and soccer. Alternate activities for adults and children include tae kwon do, fencing and roller hockey. As you can plainly see, there is plenty of fun to be had by all! Currently, the Village of Wellington is in the process of improving and renovating Village Park’s facilities to enhance the quality, infrastructure and functionality of our key community venue. Improvements will include
new entry ways, awnings, sidewalks, doors, lighting, carpet, paint, masonry and many structural improvements. I am also pleased to report that the Parks and Recreation Department did a phenomenal job of transitioning other activities while the construction at the park was underway. Almost every program was distributed seamlessly and kept intact during the park’s temporary closure. I believe this renovation will make a great facility even better and allow the Village to enjoy its many uses for many more years to come. We are proud to announce that these improvements will be completed in the spring and Village Park will again be open to all. When Village Park reopens I encourage all of our residents to come and enjoy the great activities and grounds available. Please take a moment to visit our website and participate in some of our programs, events or activities – or better yet, come get involved! It takes volunteers to make the Parks and Recreation Department and Village Park such a great success, and we’re waiting for you to help ensure Wellington is A Great Hometown!

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com
Playing horse on a rainy day gives one time to reflect Though show ribbons are nice to collect, wins and losses shouldn’t define who you are – results fade over time. During the week, my days include spending time after school with two, 11-year-old, horse-crazy girls. The drill is pretty simple: we walk dogs, get through math homework and then back in the truck (which knows the route to the barn) to ride. Recent winter rains put the kibosh on the riding part of our day. And without missing a beat, Frick and Frack devised Plan B. Having just moved into a new home, we found ourselves with ideal materials to set up a jump course in the empty, three-car garage. So off came the shoes and socks and our horse show began. The girls and I took turns jumping the boxes, end tables and lawn chairs we set as obstacles. We started with slowgoing, hunter classes and judged each other on jumping style. Then we did jumper courses and got to go fast and turn tight – well, they went fast. I endured much ribbing over the fact that in playing horse, I would often “stop” at the “big” jumps or not do them at all. One of these spry, little urchins, who might be 4’10” if she stood up straight, easily clears a four-foot-tall moving box. Whomever penned the phrase, “youth is wasted on the young” is absolutely right. My pitiful defense at finishing last in each class was, “I’m four times your age and double your weight. I’m not as springy as I used to be.” To them, it sounded like Charlie Brown’s teacher. The girls had brought out their own
ribbons and we awarded ourselves at the end of each class. And then, to their absolute, ashenfaced horror, I told them these were the first “horse show ribbons” I’ve won since 2008. “Do you mean you haven’t showed in four years?” one of them shreiked. Note to self: more work on math required. “Not four years kiddo. Five,” I said. The only sound in the hollow garage was rain on the roof. “Don’t you miss it?” More silence as I tried to spin words not to dampen their enthusiasm. “Ladies, in 30 years of showing, I met some of my goals and missed others. And the one thing I learned that sticks with me every day is life goes on – win or lose.” More blankness … and then came their challenge. “Did you ever win at pony finals?” “No, I was too big to show ponies,” I said. “Did you ever show at indoors?” “Yes, many times,” I replied. “Did you win?” “Win what? A championship? No, but I’m okay with that. It was a great experience,” I remarked. More silence and obvious disbelief that not winning “X” was okay. And finally, one of them dropped the bomb of, “So why do you have a horse now?” The explanation I shared was, “Simply because I enjoy it and at this point in my life, there are other things I want to see
and do besides horse show, like travel.” More puzzlement from the little faces but I finished with, “Riding influences who you are as a person and teaches you how to deal with challenges. But never let wins and losses define you. Both results fade over time. Become a person somebody wants to remember and share good stories.” And almost on cue, the garage door opened to an unprepared parent having
to wait as we dismantled our course. Life goes on … 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.

Outside the Neighborhood Students at Pa. school must ask for toilet paper
MAHANOY CITY, Pa. — An eastern Pennsylvania high school says vandalism forced it to create a policy in which toilet paper has been taken out of the boys’ bathrooms. Boys at Mahanoy Area High School now must go to the school office to request toilet paper and sign it out. Principal Thomas Smith says that’s helped solve a major problem of intentionally clogging toilets that’s been going on for two years. Smith says boys must sign out the toilet paper and then sign it back in. But the RepublicanHerald of Pottsville reports some parents are protesting the policy. Parent Karen Yedsena says some students are too embarrassed to go to the office to get toilet paper and are going home sick instead. School officials say they aren’t aware of any such problems.
Pittsburgh girl, 6, crashes car in bid to see dad
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police say a determined 6-yearold girl didn’t hurt anyone when she crashed her mother’s car while trying to drive across town to visit her father. Police haven’t released the name of the girl whose mother was reportedly still sleeping when the girl took the woman’s car keys about 9 a.m. on Feb. 3. Police Sgt. Jerry Parker tells reporters the little girl is tall for her age, but adds: “How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine.” Police say the girl hit two parked vehicles, pushing one of them into a third, before hitting a utility pole. Police and the girl’s father arrived to take her home after the accident. Police are still investigating but haven’t said if anyone will face charges.
TV station hacker warns of zombies in Montana
Library manager Jennifer Zarr tells the newspaper the book arrived at the library on Feb. 4, wrapped in a plain brown envelope with a check for $100 to cover the dues inside. She says library records don’t go back to 1958 and there’s no way to trace who borrowed the book. She won’t reveal the name on the check.
Conn. couple named ‘longest married’ in United States
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — John and Ann Betar of Connecticut have been married so long they’re getting national recognition. The Fairfield spouses, who tied the knot more than 80 years ago, have been named the 2013 “longest married couple” in the United States by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, a group in San Bernardino, Calif., dedicated to improving Christian marriages. The Betars were presented with the honor and gifts at their granddaughter’s home in Fairfield Feb. 9. Worldwide Marriage Encounter says the longest married couple is based on nomina-
tions, so there may be others who have been married longer. John is 101 years old and Ann is 97. The two grew up as neighbors in Bridgeport and got married on Nov. 25, 1932. They have five children, 14 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
Roaming cows create havoc at Mass. cemetery
SOUTHAMPTON, Mass. — The vandals that damaged a Massachusetts cemetery this week have pleaded “moo.” Police say a small herd of cows knocked over 40 American flags and veterans’ bronze grave markers, then snacked on a few flower arrangements, at the Center Cemetery in Southampton in late January. Motorists called to report that the cows were loose. Police contacted the owner who caught and removed the cows from the cemetery. Chief David Silvernail says the cows are an “ongoing problem,” and his department has responded to complaints about the roaming bovines three or four times since last spring.
Raccoons make home atop Wash. construction crane
SEATTLE — Workers using a tower crane to build a 304-unit apartment complex in Seattle have run into a complication: two raccoons climbed 150 feet up the crane and made a home behind the crane’s cab. KING-TV reports that the raccoons have temporarily brought the giant machine to a halt. A crane operator spotted the new residents while ascending the tower. The general contractor, Rafn Company, called in experts who are trying to catch the critters with humane traps.

Man killed for pastrami sandwich laughter TORRANCE, Calif. — A Southern California man has been convicted for killing a New Jersey businessman who laughed at him when pastrami fell out of his sandwich at a doughnut shop. The prosecutor says 26-year-old Gardena resident Ronald Eugene Murray II punched and kicked 56-year-old Mun Jang while they were eating in the Donut King in October 2011. Murray had taken a bite out of his pastrami sandwich and some of the meat fell out. Jang laughed and Murray became enraged and attacked him. A jury found Murray guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Murray now faces up to 11 years when he’s sentenced on March 4.

NY library book returned 55 years late, with $100
NEW YORK — A long overdue book has finally been returned to the New York Public Library – 55 years late. The Daily News says the biography of a 16th-century priest called “Fire of Francis Xavier” was checked out of the Fort Washington branch in upper Manhattan on April 10, 1958.
Cemetery Commission member Robert Floyd tells The Daily Hampshire Gazette he plans on asking the farmer to pay for the damage once he comes up with an estimate.

REMAIN ANONYMOUS (DON’T GIVE YOUR NAME) AND YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO $1,000 REWARD.
Horoscope by Madame Hughes Aries (March 21 - April 20) You aren’t sure if you can handle this. Once you start to stick up for yourself it will get easier. Your freedom is more important to you than anything. You can be as free as you want to be here. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) You’re in the middle of a process that is too complex and transformative to be addressed with your usual tactics. Your survival depends on your ability to adapt. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You bring your heart to situations where logic is needed and logic to situations that the heart should rule. Take
a hike. Quiet your mind and listen to your heart. Crossed circuits can only be unraveled by Mother Nature. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Now that you’re free to do as you please you don’t know where to start. The things you left behind need to be dealt with before your new-found freedom can go anywhere. Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) Whoever you’ve crossed is the type who holds a grudge. Even though they seem to be OK with this, they’re not. Sometimes we have to do what’s expedient, and what’s expedient right now has a lot to do with smoothing things over.
Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. If you can accept that, instead of feeling torn by the idea that there’s no way out, you will realize that being in this position gives you the freedom to do anything you want. Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) You’ve got opportunities to teach or learn that you can’t pass up. Whatever you’re doing now, or are about to do, will do a lot to further your career. At the very least it will prepare you for the next step. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) If you have no clue what’s meant to hap-

and don’t hang on to anything that doesn’t serve your higher purpose. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) If you think your security will be jeopardized by your creativity and uniqueness, you’re in the wrong place! You may be too afraid to walk away, but trying to be something that you’re not will make it hard to live with yourself. Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) Part of you loves all this excitement and another part of you wishes things would settle down. Multiple changes are creating so much intensity. There are lessons here that will teach you more about who you really are.

pen next, don’t worry. Your higher self is on the case. Once you learn to trust your inner guidance system, you will know what to do. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Now that you’re on a new path it would be good to clean up older issues that could haunt you down the line. Blowing the doors off your life is exciting, but you need to be sure that what’s left unsaid or undone is taken care of. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) As you move away from the past you’ll see how much your efforts have the power to uplift others. This is an incredible time. Embrace it fully
