WEST PALM BEACH — Uniformed schoolgirls enter the doors of St. Ann’s on Olive Avenue. The owner of The Hut on Flagler Drive serves hamburgers and root-beer floats to teenagers driving convertibles. Servicemen departing for duty from the train station on Tamarind Avenue wave and whistle. That’s what actress Candyce Tiffany Lewis has passengers aboard the Historic Trolley Tours in West Palm Beach believing during an interactive journey through the World War II-era city. “My goal is always to take people away somewhere, get them out of the grump and see their faces light up,” Lewis said. “My goal is for people to learn, enjoy, then walk away with their heart filled with happiness.” The Historic Trolley Tours are in full-steam-ahead mode this season, offering fascinating 45-minute forays into life in the county seat during the 1940s. They are an accurate – and amusing – assessment of the area, departing four times each week from the Richard & Pat Johnson History Museum. “History has always been in my background,” Lewis said. “It just made simple sense to me to be a part of that era and that time, and for the last seven years, I’ve been doing this.” Between 20 and 30 passengers join Lewis, who portrays the character Evelyn Chapman, on a step back in time as Chapman and her black lace dress, satin gloves and ruffly parasol embody the detailed script written by Leesa Gordon of Just Peachy Productions. “My goal was to create a tour that was really engrossing and wasn’t just, ‘Here on your right, here on your left,’ “ Gordon said. “We’ve all seen those tours. I wanted people to feel like they’re taking a tour with a real person – that they were in real time in West Palm Beach.” Gordon read books about the city’s history, raided the archives at the Historical

Society of Palm Beach County and identified important landmarks regardless of – as in the case of The Hut – whether they were still standing. “We basically came up with, here are the places that we think people should see, and then we had to think about the routing,” she said. “Knowing the landmarks and where they are and a little bit about them, I created this story.” The story weaves wartime with West Palm Beach’s architectural style, development movement, fashion district and real-estate boom, adding in factual characters such as Cornelius McGillicuddy, the longest-serving manager in Major League Baseball history, whose Philadelphia Athletics Springtrained on a field

TOUR INFORMATION: WHEN: Tours take place at 3 and 4 p.m. Fridays; and 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturdays through April. WHERE: The Richard & Pat Johnson History Museum at 300 N. Dixie Hwy.

TKA wins state cheer competition By AMY WOODS Palms West Monthly

Local actress Candyce Tiffany Lewis, aka Evelyn Chapman, in full costume.

It was the Lady Lions of The King’s Academy versus the Lady Warriors of West Nassau High School in competitive cheerleading’s state championship – and the West Palm Beach school prevailed. The girls, competing Feb. 1 in Kissimmee, performed flawlessly to defeat their rivals and last year’s state champions by five points in the Class 1A Small NonTumbling Division. They beat 25 other teams to secure the title. It was the school’s fifth consecutive State Championship. “This year, TKA competed with 12 girls on the floor, putting us in a different division for states,” varsity coach Tim Pike said. “We would have to face the defending state champion and national runners-up, West Nassau High School. Our athletes hit an incredible routine, and while holding the last move of their finals routine, they knew, the coaches knew and everyone TKA / PAGE 13

In Brief New names on letterhead at Central Palm Beach Chamber

After several staff and executive-leadership changes, the Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce is conducting a national search for a new associate director of economic development. Last Fall, the chamber’s board of directors faced the departure of Jaene Miranda, its outgoing CEO, and named Wayne Burns as the incoming CEO. Then, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development Mary Lou Bedford was promoted to executive vice president.

Awareness Week, a global initiative touting the importance of brain research, the challenge will recognize the three best teams and award them with cash prizes ranging from $250 to $1,000. The money will go to each of their school’s science departments. The top winner will get to shadow a Max Planck scientist for a day. “The Brain Bee Challenge is a fun, interactive way to engage students interested in neuroscience, and it also provides them one-of-a-kind opportunities, like

touring state-of-the-art laboratories and meeting some of the world’s top neuroscientists,” said Ana Fiallos, the institute’s head of education and outreach. Registration is free. For more information, call (561) 972-9000 or go online to maxplanckflorida. org/brain-bee.

Jewish Federation kicks off fund-raising campaign

A new capital campaign has been launched by the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County. Titled “Tomorrow Today: A Community Partnership Project,” the large-scale initiative’s goal is to create a new and modern infrastructure for future generations of Jews in Palm Beach County. With the campaign already underway, close to $16 million has been raised for the federation and its partner agencies – Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy, Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family and Children’s Service, Lorraine and Jack N. Friedman Commission for Jewish Education of the Palm Beaches and Mandel Jewish Community Center of the Palm Beaches. “To have the support, guidance and involvement from two generations of Palm Beach’s most-established and accomplished families is both remarkable and meaningful,” federation President and CEO David Phillips said of honorary campaign Co-Chairs Alec and Sheila Engelstein, Jack and Barbara Kay, Arnold and Marilyn Lampert, Irwin and Ellen Levy, Mort and Barbara Mandel and Sydelle Meyer.

The children, dwarfed by a field that is nine times the size of a football gridiron, learned about polo from four top professionals: Mariano Aguerre, Michele Dorignac, Luis Escobar and Matias Magrini. The players talked about everything from how to pick a pony, to how to swing a mallet, to how to perform basic shots. Then, the polo masters engaged in action and played a two-chukker match for the small audience members, who watched from coveted box seats. Instead of glasses of bubbly being served on the field, juice boxes were handed out. During the trophy presentation, it was ice-cream bars. Participating schools included Binks Forest, Equestrian Trails, New Horizons, Panther Run and Wellington elementary schools. The International Polo Club has sponsored Fourth-Grade Polo Day since 2002.

For better or worse: Is retirement better when shared? Sharon may soon be joining Ernie in retirement. Is this the end of his carefree days or will he enjoy retirement even more? My beautiful wife Sharon has a very important decision to make in the next couple of months: should she or shouldn’t she pull the plug and retire from her job? If you don’t think this is a

3 Points to Home Financing: How to Get the Best Rates WEST PALM BEACH – A new report has just been released which identifies a foolproof 3-point plan which any homebuyer can use to secure the best financing rates when they buy a home.

new report entitled, “Best Financing: A 3-Point Plan.” This report outlines three critical steps you must take to obtain the absolute best financing rates when you buy a home. It tells you where you should go, what questions you should ask and how to manage the process to your personal advantage.

look forward to taking things a bit easier and begin enjoying life as a retiree. Unfortunately, Sharon is having trouble facing that reality. Let’s just say she’s not accepting the aging process gracefully, to say the least. She’s fighting it tooth and nail, and if truth be told, so far I think she’s winning. Sharon looks much younger than her age. Maybe the fact that she spends practically her entire paycheck at the neighborhood nail place and beauty parlor has something to do with that. Even though I’m three years older, I must admit that Sharon looks more like my daughter than my wife – and it seems that I’m not the only one who thinks that. In fact, when we meet people for the first time, they never believe that she’s my wife and that we’ve been married 42 years. Usually, after I tell them how long we’ve been married, they kind of look at Sharon, look back at me, then look at Sharon again. No, I wasn’t a cradle robber. Fortunately for Sharon, she inherited very good skin from her father’s side of the family. When her dad died he was about 35 years older than me

from work, she has a different mind set. I do know one thing, however. If Sharon does decide to join me in retirement, I can kiss my easy, carefree life goodbye. Since I retired a few years back, I get up in the morning when I want and do whatever I want. Well, at least until I see the note on the kitchen table that Sharon left for me. There’s always a note with a bunch of things for me to get done that day. Of course, being the good husband I am, I very rarely if ever pay attention to most of the notes. If the decision was mine, I’d vote for Sharon to continue working, but as I’ve learned many years ago, my vote doesn’t count. But if I was a betting man I would lay all my bets on Sharon continuing her job. But just in case Sharon does decide to join me in retirement I’m wondering if there’s any hope for me at all. 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.

but looked about 20 years younger. Sharon’s been working at her job for over 28 years now. And I know better than most that she really loves it and she’d find it quite hard not to go to work any longer. Also, the fact that she drives three of our granddaughters home everyday after school adds to the fact why my wife loves her job so much. I’ve tried explaining to Sharon that when she hits her next birthday and she continues to work, she’ll be working for free. She’ll bring home the same amount of money whether she works or stays home. I keep telling her this until I’m blue in the face, but she just doesn’t want to listen. I’m just now starting to realize that Sharon loves her job so much that the fact that she’ll be working for free doesn’t bother her. So now I’ve learned to keep quiet when the retirement question comes up – and it seems to come up practically every day. So now, Sharon says I’m not trying to help her make her big decision. Seems that whatever I say or don’t say on this subject, I’m to blame. Sometimes a guy just can’t win. I can honestly say that I really don’t know what Sharon will ultimately do, because every day when she comes home

Elaine Stritch undimmed in documentary By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

For a documentary subject as forceful as Elaine Stritch, filmmakers may need to turn to nature – a typhoon might do it – to find anything approximate. Even the camera must warily keep its distance in “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me.” She warns its operator when he gets too close: “I don’t know whether this is a skin commercial, or what.” Stritch captivates just walking down the street: greeting fans, chastising cabs, swaying to the music of the sidewalk. “I wish I could f---ing drive,” she says at the opening of the documentary. “Then I’d really be a menace.” The strong types usually seen in movies – caped men with powers, action heroes with six-packs – have nothing on this long-legged, 89-year-old New York broad. Stritch, who has long eschewed pants of any sort, has the kind of ferocious voice that old age can’t quiet. Chiemi Karasawa’s “Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me” is an irresistibly entertaining documentary that captures Stritch during what she unsentimentally calls “almost post-time.” After seven decades performing in New York – on Broadway, in countless cabaret nights at the Cafe Carlyle – Stritch’s enormous energy has been knocked by the increasing years, diabetes and surgeries on her hip and eyes. But “Shoot Me,” made over the last few years, is a document not of Stritch’s

dwindling, but of her feisty persistence. As the film shows, she has trouble remembering lyrics and sometimes struggles to get out of bed. At home and during rehearsals, it chronicles her grand exit from New York, her home since she was 17, and her decision to retire back to Michigan. Stritch is a paragon of oldfashioned show business: A brassy and blunt survivor of New York theater life. More than a decade ago, the New York Landmarks Conservancy named her a living landmark. “I like the courage of age,” she declares. Karasawa shoots Stritch in intimate, unglamorous situations, most notably one night in a hospital bed with curlers in her hair, chastened by a health scare: “It’s time for me,” she says. “I can feel it everywhere.” A theatrical being down to her soul, Stritch is often a fascinating companion, throwing off such candid reflections, joining an elevator operator in song, or miming a limp to avoid a parking ticket in the Hamptons. But she is also, unquestionably, a handful. Her needs are many, which

her musical director Rob Bowman patiently tries to meet. She repeatedly criticizes the documentary’s very own cameraman, ordering him to more aggressively shoot her unpacking a box of her cherished English muffins. The question of how taxing it is to work with Stritch is unavoidable. D.A. Pennebaker’s 1970 documentary on the cast recording of “Company” showed her sparring with Stephen Sondheim. In “Shoot Me,” we glimpse a letter from Woody Allen before they shot the film “September,” warning her of overly dramatic behavior and requesting that she “keep the questioning to a rockbottom minimum.” Tina Fey, who cast Stritch in a recurring role on her sitcom “30 Rock,” says: “It’s a bear. And it’s always worth it.” Stritch is worth it not just because of her talent, but for her inspiring perseverance. She’s a born entertainer, and a spirited remnant of a disappeared New York. She sings from “Follies”: “Good times and bum times, I’ve seen them all/ And, my dear, I’m still here.”

HEALTH MATTERS

Consider using a personal trainer to reach your fitness goals Finding the right personal trainer to assist in reaching your fitness goals can help keep you motivated both in and out of the gym. Exclusive to Palms West Monthly

Using a personal trainer is a great way to meet your individual fitness and health goals. Not only will you start to notice your results faster but you will take away many of the principles and habits that are applicable to your life outside the gym. Personal trainers are knowledgeable in not only fitness, but nutrition as well. So, what are some of the major benefits of having a trainer? Accountability Accountability is important, it’s what makes you responsible for achieving your goals. Accountability helps bring

consistency to your life. When you are with your trainer you become accountable to them and they become accountable to you – you both have responsibilities to each other. Lack of self-accountability is a huge reason why people give up or don’t push themselves to their potential. Nutrition Plan Working with your trainer in the gym on your fitness is important, but what you are putting into your body while you are not at the gym is crucial. Your personal trainer will have the knowledge to help you set up a nutri-

tional plan that works for you. Motivation Motivation is everything. It’s what keeps you going, keeps you working your hardest by staying with your program and, most importantly, helps you achieve positive results. By encouraging you and keeping a high level of intensity, you will work harder than you would on your own and feel even more accomplished after your session. Conquer fear of the gym Hiring a personal trainer can help ease your fears of walking into the gym for the first time.

TKA cheer team takes home fifth consecutive state championship seamless, creating a legacy that I am beyond proud of,” Allen said. “I’m so grateful for all of our supporters far and near.” Many of the cheerleaders echoed their coach’s sentiments. “The feeling of hitting and winning was indescribable. I was so happy to win with the amazing 12 girls and coaches that were around me,” said

in attendance knew who the state champions were.” Varsity cheerleading head coach Jen Allen said the show of support for the school was overwhelming. “From the coaches, to the families, to the alumni, to the athletes, our circle of unity is

8th grader Kaylin Gatchell, the team’s newest member. Said Rachelle Tutwiler, a junior at The King’s Academy, “This year, it meant so much to me. Having 12 girls who eat, sleep, breathe cheerleading was so different. It was the most rewarding title because we all worked so hard for each other, not a title. That was a bonus!” 

Let’s face it, for a gym newbie the weight room can look a little intimating resulting in many people just heading over to the cardio section to hop on an elliptical. A trainer can guide you through the gym floor and teach you to use the equipment safely and correctly. Working out accompanied by a personal trainer also makes it a little easier to not focus on the people around you – which for some helps a great deal. You’ve decided to take the plunge and work with a personal trainer, but how do you choose which trainer is right for you? Where to find a trainer The most common place is through your local fitness facility. Word of mouth helps in getting feedback from someone you trust who has used the trainer in the past. Finally, you can find trainers in local online publications or through other social media outlets. What to look for One of the most important things to ask about is a trainer’s

credentials. Your trainer should have a reputable certification and preferably a degree in the exercise/fitness field. Additionally, your trainer should have current CPR and First Aid certifications. Interviewing trainers Don’t be afraid to ask questions about their training philosophy, what specific things they will do to help you reach your goals, and how they think they can be of service to you, such as:  What kind of experience and credentials do you have?  What kind of motivational techniques do you use to help your clients reach their goals?  Knowing my specific fitness goals, what kind of workout plan will you develop to help me?  How often will you change my workout routine?  And last, do you have current clients I could contact as references?

Popular historic trolley tour helps drive business to downtown West Palm Beach TOUR / FROM PAGE 1

been influenced by worldwide events,” said Debi Murray, chief curator at the historical society and a collaborator on the script. “This is not just a party spot.” Because the tours start and end at the museum, visitors often take a free spin through the People Gallery, Place Gallery and Special Exhibition Gallery. “We’re the best-kept secret in Palm Beach County,” Murray said. “We want more people in our doors, and the trolley does drive people here.” The trolley also drives dollars into city coffers, said Teneka James, associate director of the Downtown Development Authority.

“It’s definitely an economic generator, and the reason why we say that is they come to ride the trolley, and then they go out to dinner,” James said. “On Saturday, they go to the GreenMarket.” The tours take place at 3 and 4 p.m. Fridays, and 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturdays, and they run January through April. “The feedback, it’s always positive,” James said of the attraction that debuted in 2007. “The first year, we were really unsure how it was going to work out. Now, we get people who have taken it every year since we started it.” She credits Lewis’ acting chops as the main reason for the trolley’s success. “Candyce is just phenomenal,”

James said. “If I say she engulfs herself directly in the character – she came into the office in full costume to audition.” Royal Palm Beach resident Donna Materdomini celebrated a birthday by taking the tour with husband Chris and 8-yearold son Mason. “I’m a history nerd,” Donna Materdomini said. “And I love architecture.” Chris Materdomini said he planned to take the family out to dinner afterward to celebrate not only his wife’s special moment but also the onboard experience. “It was very interesting and nice to see,” he said. “I don’t think I’m going to be able to look at another building the same.” 

According to Eisenson, the workshops also cover how to double or even triple eligibility for college funding.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WELLINGTON

Wellington Parks and Rec. set to host Spring Break Camp Green Market, Food Truck Invasion and free concerts highlight amphitheater events. By MAYOR BOB MARGOLIS Exclusive to Palms West Monthly

Who’s excited for spring? It’s almost upon us. I, for one, love the warmer weather and feeling of energy it brings. And we all know how much kids look forward to spring break! Fortunately, Wellington has plenty of outdoor activities this month for everyone to enjoy. Looking for something fun for your kids to do while they’re off for spring break? Wellington’s Parks and Recreation Department is hosting Spring Break Camp at Pierson Park. The camp is being run by Building

Up Sports Academy and is open to children ages 6-13. For more information or to sign up, call the Parks and Rec Department at 791-4005. Remember that St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17th. We want you to have fun, but please be responsible. And don’t forget to wear green! Speaking of green, Wellington’s Green Market continues each Saturday this month. Additionally, we have our Food Truck Invasion each Thursday evening at the Amphitheater. Also at the Amphitheater this month, our free movie nights

will feature “Walking with Dinosaurs 2013” and “The Book Thief,” and our free concert series will feature a Doo Wop Mob Tribute and the Mark & Clark Dueling Pianos show. As always, check the Wellington website for dates and times. To round out the month, on March 29th the Community Services Department will host an Open House at its offices at 1100 Wellington Trace. The event is from 10 a.m. to noon and is open to the community. Please come and take this opportunity to learn about programs and initiatives offered by Community Services. Come out and see a variety of the Sheriff’s Office and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue vehicles on display

and find out about upcoming activities in Wellington. March is National Women’s History Month. This month is an excellent opportunity to teach the great achievements made by women. Not only that, but it’s a time to reflect on how far our country has come toward full gender equality. Consider that a hundred years ago women had still not achieved the right to vote. It wasn’t until the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1920 that this historic movement, many years in the making, became a reality. This month is a wonderful chance to inspire young girls that nothing will stop them from fulfilling their dreams.

FACES & PLACES

Caron and Hanley treatment centers receive $1 million pledge at annual gala Guests at the recent Caron and Hanley treatment centers “Glow” gala at The Breakers had more than a million reasons to shine. Caron’s Florida market President Andrew Rothermel announced a $1 million pledge from Rhode Island-based lifestyle brand, Alex and Ani and their Charity by Design division for Caron and Hanley’s Lifesaver Scholarship Fund. “Almost half of our patients receive scholarship assistance,” said Rothermel, “and as we continue to grow to serve more patients of all ages, our scholarship needs will increase. We applaud Alex and Ani’s leadership gift and glowing example.” Nearly 500 attendees supported the annual event which raises awareness and scholarship funds for substance abuse treatment at Caron Renaissance and Hanley Center. There was the rocking band that kept the floor jumping as the relaxed “Palm Beach Chic” dress code translated into creative moves on the dance floor. There was also the “addiction is a disease; we are not ashamed” message from Gala co-chairmen Liza Pulitzer and Nellie Benoit. Together, Caron and Hanley Treatment Centers comprise one of the largest and most comprehensive nonprofit addiction treatment providers in the country, focused on a 12-Step recovery program with a powerful clinical component.

FPL volunteers are all smiles as they get ready to deliver Valentine’s Day treats in partnership with Meals On Wheels.

FPL and Meals on Wheels spread love on special day Dr. Rachel Docekal and Nellie Benoit

Valentine’s Day was extra special for a group of seniors as FPL and Meals on Wheels teamed up to spread some love via meal deliveries using FPL’s environmentally-friendly electric vehicles. The caravan of electric vehicles, outfitted in holiday decor, transported volunteers who delivered meals, treats and roses to seniors. Meals On Wheels of the Palm Beaches delivers freshly-prepared meals to close to 75 seniors and other homebound residents every day. The event helped promote the benefits of electric vehicles. According to FPL, drivers who “plug in” spend up to 80 percent less than those who fill up with gas.

Palm Beach’s ‘Wild’ night nets $1.19 million for Palm Beach Zoo The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society celebrated its annual Dinner Dance Jan. 31 at The Breakers with the theme, “A Garden in the Wild.” Andrew Aiken, president and CEO of the zoo, said the event raised $1.19 million. The nearly 400 supporters who gathered in the Mediterranean Ballroom for cocktails had the opportunity to come face-to-face with some of the zoo’s animals, handled by the zoo’s staff. Following dinner in the Venetian Ballroom, guests bid on luxury items with Sotheby’s chairman Jamie Niven acting as auctioneer. The auction, chaired by Samantha Storkerson, raised a record-high $210,000 for the zoo, plus an additional $148,000 in support of the zoo’s Outreach and Education Programs. Among the many spectacular auction items were a pair of dazzling diamond chandelier earrings from the celebrated fine jewelry boutique Kaufmann de Suisse of Palm Beach and Montreal. The 18k white gold earrings features 3.65 cts. of sparkling fine diamonds, donated by Moneca Kaufmann. Guests then danced the night away to the music of the popular band Soul Survivors.

Outside the Neighborhood Odd call: Blowing nose brings big buck running

JACKSON, Miss. — The deer hunter figured sneezing had blown his chance at a deer, but blowing his nose brought a big buck running. Ron Manning of Hinds County said he’s hunted deer for 54 years and had never seen anything like what happened in January – though he did once see a deer that tried to eat grape bubble gum and got gum all over itself, he told The Clarion-Ledger. On Jan. 16, he said, he suffered a volley of nine sneezes in 10 minutes. He tried to muffle the noise in his elbow, but figured he had no chance of seeing a deer for an hour. So he went for the honk. The next thing he knew, “a 17-inch, 8-point came roaring in,” Manning said. “He had his ears laid back, his eyes glazed over and the hair standing up on his back. Obviously, I said something to upset him because he came to fight. He wasn’t cautious. He came in running.” “He was wide open, coming

to me,” Manning said. “I shot him at 25 yards.” Manning joked that instead of a grunt/wheeze call, this deer was fooled by a cough/sneeze. “I wish I knew exactly what I did so I could duplicate it,” Manning said.

the deaths of the chickens. The driver of the chicken truck and the other vehicle involved were not seriously injured.

PETA member wants roadside memorial for chickens

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Big Mouth Billy Bass apparently got the best of a would-be burglar in Minnesota. Authorities in Rochester say the motion-activated singing fish apparently scared off an intruder who tried to break into the Hooked on Fishing bait and tackle shop. The novelty bass had been hung near the door and would start singing “Take Me to the River” whenever someone entered the shop. The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office says the fish was found on the floor after the intruder knocked it down while breaking the door to get in. Sgt. Tom Claymon tells the Star Tribune the would-be burglar left without stealing anything, including cash that had been left in “a very visible spot.”

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — An animal rights advocate wants to place a roadside memorial in Georgia to remember several chickens killed in a highway wreck. A member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed an application for the memorial in early February with the Georgia Department of Transportation. The Atlanta JournalConstitution reports that, if approved, a memorial would be placed at the Hall County site where a truck hauling live chickens overturned Jan. 27. Sarah Segal of Atlanta writes in her application that she wants to place a 10-foot tombstone memorial for one month on the right of way of U.S. 129 to mark

Big, runaway snowball slams into college dorm

PORTLAND, Ore. — Two math majors at Reed College lost control of a massive snowball that rolled into a dorm, knocking in part of a bedroom wall. No one was injured. The students began making the snowball last week during a rare snowstorm in Portland, Ore. Nobody weighed it, but college spokesman Kevin Myers says it was estimated to weigh 800 pounds or more. The students responsible for the runaway snowball reported the incident and have not been disciplined. Myers says they didn’t intend to cause damage and feel awful about what happened. A maintenance manager told Reed Magazine it will cost several thousand dollars to repair the building.

Workers find $43K in pockets of donated clothing

MONROE, Mich. — Workers going through donated clothing at a Michigan thrift store turned up more than $43,000 in the pockets of suits and a robe. Goodwill manager Tyler Gedelian tells The Monroe Evening News that he sometimes finds loose change in clothing, but nothing like what happened Jan. 29 at the Monroe store. Stuffed in envelopes in the pockets were tidy stacks of $100 bills. The 29-year-old called police, who tracked down the man who donated the clothes. The newspaper reports that person was cleaning out an elderly relative’s closet and took the clothes to Goodwill; he didn’t know there might be money hidden in them.

Police: Thieves tried to sell items back to victim

DENVER — Denver police have arrested four suspects accused of unwittingly trying to sell items they stole back to the burglary victim. KMGH-TV reports Lacinda Robinson discovered the items missing at her home and drove to the parking lot of a nearby fast-food restaurant to report the theft. That’s where she says she was approached by two people asking if she wanted to buy a video game set. Robinson says she was startled when another person walked up wearing

her jacket. She went next door to a gas station and found two off-duty police officers who made the arrests.

Middle schooler gets tongue stuck to pole

EASTHAMPTON, Mass. — An Easthampton middle school student, in a scene straight out of the movie “A Christmas Story” got their tongue stuck to a metal pole. Fire Chief David Mottor says firefighters responded to White Brook Middle School Feb. 12, when temperatures were well below freezing. Mottor tells The Republican that firefighters poured warm water on the student’s tongue, freeing it. The student was not injured. The student’s age and gender were not released. In the 1983 movie, a character named Flick gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole after being triple-dog dared to do so.

Gassy German cows blamed for barn explosion

BERLIN — A herd of dairy cows nearly lifted the roof off their barn in central Germany when methane released by the animals caused an explosion. Police in Hesse state said in a statement that a static electric charge apparently triggered the detonation, and a spurt of flame, in January at a farm in Rasdorf. The roof was slightly damaged and one cow suffered light burns. No people were hurt. Police say 90 cows are kept in the shed and it wasn’t clear why quantities of methane had built up. Bovine belching and flatulence releases large quantities of the gas.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You need your freedom right now. Whomever you feel so responsible for needs theirs too. If you can allow others as much space as you expect them to give you, both of you will be a heck of a lot happier. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) Worrying about what others will think isn’t helping you move forward. None of us can afford to let anything hold us back right now. Forget about who you need to please. This is too good to miss. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) Now that you’re clear about this you want to fix it right away. Issues this big require patience and deep reflection. In time new patterns will replace the old but it definitely won’t help to push the river. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You’ve fallen for someone who doesn’t deserve you. This is a repetitive pattern. Go for it if you have to, but don’t expect it to be more than just another chance to review the extent to which you devalue yourself.

Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) Do you really think getting more involved is the answer? You’re so fixated on getting this to happen you can’t see straight. Don’t try to force your will on something that will wind up being nothing but trouble. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) Others are laying unbelievable trips on you. You may be the only one who knows how sick this is. In an unguarded moment the truth will be revealed and everyone will be hip to what you’ve had to go through. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) Things have come down so fast you don’t know what’s going on. Time will tell, but in this situation it looks like you’ll win by default. Being the center of attention suits you. Do your best to wear it well. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) You wish others would appreciate you as more than just a workhorse. People tend to treat us the way we treat ourselves and they won’t treat you any better if you don’t stop working yourself into the ground.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Whatever we believe becomes true for us. If you believe that relationships are always doomed to infidelity and rejection, don’t be surprised if your current affair turns out like the rest of them did. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) This particular predicament requires a whole new approach. Fighting for your rights won’t work. And if you’re trying to win back what’s owed you, forget it. Faced with the need to cut your losses, it’s time to surrender. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) In any crisis your MO is to persist but it won’t work this time. It would be easier to raise the dead than it would to keep pushing. Haul back and let the universe take care of what you can no longer control. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) Being in the right place at the right time is the key to everything right now. Nothing happens when we sit home with the clicker. Miracles await those of you who decide to get out there and mingle.
