Horticulturist Joel Crippen leads a tour through the newly renamed Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County on Saturday, April 20, pointing out examples of vertical gardening. During the Creative Vertical Gardening: Growing Up workshop, Crippen explained how to use hanging orchids, bromeliads, ferns and other plants to decorate walls and trees.
TWO GREEN THUMBS UP
The name has changed, but the mission of Mounts Botanical Garden remains the same. By CHRISTINE DAVIS Palms West Monthly
WEST PALM BEACH — It’s Saturday morning at the newly renamed Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County, and as early breezes stir the leaves, it’s pure pleasure to walk the paths and take in vistas. It’s serene, green, and quiet – except for the occasional jet overhead – a reminder that although the gardens appear bucolic, they are urban and accessible in West Palm Beach. Birds sing, butterflies flit, and every now and then, a scent of a flowery perfume wafts through the air. But visitors at Mounts learn while they relax. Not only do they stop to smell the roses, but most likely, they stop to read the descriptive labels affixed to the plants. They notice how groupings of plant materials work together, observe what kind of light – or shade – plants need to thrive, and make a mental list
of plants they just have to have. Although the 14-acre garden is supremely enjoyable and lovely – many a wedding is held here – this is an educational garden, with more than 2,000 species of plants. This particular morning, while a nature-loving group wanders around taking in the beauty, a workshop on vertical gardening is underway in the auditorium, where “students” of nature listen intently and take notes. The Evasius family of Wellington illustrates perfectly this meld of enjoyment and learning that happens naturally at Mounts. “How perfect that yellow rose is!” exclaimed Megan, 10, pointing to a hybrid tea rose named Melinda that grows in Mount’s Rose/Fragrance Garden. The concept here is how to have roses in the garden, rather than a rose garden, and Mounts has mixed easier-togrow roses with other fragrant
MOUNTS INFO: A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME:

It’s hardy, attractive, drought tolerant and productive, growing fast and becoming quite large. John and Stacy bring their daughters often, “but not often enough,” Stacy added. “We took school field trips here with the girls. Mounts is a place where we all like to walk, and the girls love the maze.” But this family is on a mission this day. “I’m looking for some plants to add color for MOUNTS / PAGE 18
It’s SunFest time again. The time of year when more than 165,000 visitors flock to beautiful, scenic Flagler Drive along the Intracoastal Waterway in downtown West Palm Beach for Florida’s largest waterfront music and art festival.

WEST PALM BEACH – Although most homes for sale are re-sales, one out of four home buyers purchase a new home. Which is better: existing or new? The right answer, of course, is up to you. Both resales and new homes offer advantages. Existing homes are less expensive on average, and are generally closer to, and enjoy the warmth and surroundings of established neighborhoods often with mature landscaping. New homes, on the other hand, offer innovative use of space, greater energy efficiency and choices of options and upgrades. Everything is new and modern. Most people consider both new and existing homes before they
decide to purchase. A new, special insider report entitled “New Homes – 10 Tips to Save You Time and Money” has just been released which identifies 10 invaluable tips to save you time and money when purchasing a brand new home. Also revealed are little-known buyer advantages that most builders may not tell you.

John Sculley, former Pepsi big-brand marketer and Apple CEO, will speak on working with local entrepreneurs to create jobs and the growing need for science and technology professionals on Thursday, May 30, at 5:30 p.m. The event will take place at the Duncan Theatre on the Lake Worth campus of Palm Beach State College.

Scripps, Max Planck scientists inspire high school students Area high school students recently explored the many aspects of the brain through hands-on activities with bio-
medical research scientists at Neuroscience Saturday. The allday event, held April 6, was hosted by Scripps Florida, the Jupiter campus of The Scripps Research Institute, and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience. Students and teachers from Glades Central High School, Royal Palm Beach High School, Palm Beach Gardens High School and Palm Beach Lakes High School participated in this unique educational event, sponsored through a $25,000 grant by Quantum Foundation. They spent the day investigating the intricacies of neuroscience through various activities, including a brain dissection, a speed competition where students role-played different parts of a neuron to discover how signals travel through the brain, and a neurophysiological activity, where students recorded the electrical activity from the nerve impulses in an insect’s leg. Neuroscience Saturday is based upon Scripps Florida’s Science Saturday outreach program, which has reached more than 2,000 students from Title I high schools since 2006, and Neuroscience Discovery Day, the public event hosted by the Max Planck Florida Institute during last year’s grand opening.
West Palm Beach resident honors Jackie Robinson at Marlins game By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
MIAMI — A Brooklyn Dodgers ballboy during Jackie Robinson’s rookie season helped honor the baseball pioneer by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Miami Marlins-Washington Nationals game on April 15. West Palm Beach resident Norman Berman, 84, has been a Marlins fan since their first game in 1993. He also was the Dodgers’ 19-year-old ballboy in 1947, the year Robinson broke the sport’s color barrier. Berman witnessed the challenges Robinson overcame as depicted in the new movie “42,” with opponents relentlessly taunting and heckling the Dodgers rookie. “That movie was very close to what he had to go through,” Berman said before the Marlins game. “They threw at him, they stepped on his feet, and he never turned his back. He never said anything to them.
He never tried to fight them. He walked away with a smile on his face, because they told him, ‘If you argue and fight with them, you’re going to ruin it for everybody else.’” Berman’s only season as ballboy was in 1947, and he watched Robinson and the Dodgers reach the World Series. Berman said Robinson befriended him, played catch with him and gave tips on how to make a double-play pivot. “He was a wonderful person,” Berman said. “I learned something from him – when you go through tough times, you’ve got to stay positive. I don’t think most of the ballplayers who came after him would have been able to be the first black ballplayer, because they couldn’t do what he did.’’ Baseball celebrated its annual Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, with players at all major league games wearing the late Hall of Famer’s No. 42.

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com
Can we please have the old Palm Beach County back? What happened to the good old days here in Palm Beach County when one could walk or ride their bikes and feel completely safe? Almost 30 years ago, I moved my family from New York down here to sunny Palm Beach County. Naturally, at that time I felt very safe raising my family here. And believe me when I say
life down here was nothing like living in Brooklyn. Up in Brooklyn, if Sharon asked me to go to the store to pick up a gallon of milk, I wouldn’t dare leave my house without my gun on my side.
As a matter of fact, one incident took place right in front of my house in broad daylight and – thankfully – I was fortunate enough to be glancing out my living room window at the time. Some punk was trying to steal my car. I yelled to Sharon to call 911 and tell them what was happening and that I was armed and in street clothes trying to catch the guy. To make a long story short, I caught the punk as he was in the act of stealing the car. And, of course, my gun came in very handy at the time. I thought I left all that behind me when we moved down here and, until recently, I felt that my family was very safe and lucky to be living in Palm Beach County, specifically here in the Western communities. Unfortunately, that’s all starting to change. I’ve never even considered having a gun on me as I drove, walked or rode my bike on the streets of my neighborhood. But it seems like every day – whether you turn on the television or pick up the morning paper – the local news is screaming at me about one shooting after another taking place in Palm Beach County.

These shootings seem to include road rage incidents, drive-by shootings, domestic shootings and, of course, the good old-fashioned run-of-themill kind of shootings that take place during a robbery or home invasion. Because of my police background, I usually see things a little differently than others might as I walk the streets. Certain things stick out to me that would most likely go unnoticed to the untrained observer, and lately I don’t like what I’m seeing. Sadly, I’m seriously thinking of once again not leaving my house without a gun. For the first time since I’ve lived here, I don’t feel safe when I ride my bike or take my daily walks. Not too long ago on a beautiful Sunday morning, not far from home, I found myself surrounded by three punks on bikes. They couldn’t have been a day over 15. They yelled at me “Hey old man,” but because of my police training and instincts, I quickly turned the tables on these punks. In my best Brooklynese and at the top of my lungs, I asked these punks what they thought they were doing (actually, I said a little more than that, but hey, this is a family paper). Within 5 seconds of hearing my tender very loud voice, they all rode away as fast as they could.
I didn’t move to Palm Beach County to have this sort of thing happen, but as the saying goes “The times they are a changing.” When I’m on facebook I spend time on a site devoted to Palm Beach County and most of the folks who frequent the site are native to this area. Almost everyone of them has moved out of the area and they all agree that the Palm Beach County they grew up in no longer exists. At first, I thought they didn’t know what they were talking about, but now I’m sad to say I hear them loud and clear. Why have things changed so much? I wish I had the answer, but I don’t. My family left Brooklyn for many reasons – and I’m sorry to say a lot of those reasons are starting to show up here in Palm Beach County. Can I please have the old Palm Beach County back? 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.

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com
Through the looking glass, Wellington shows its cracks Must Wellington’s equestrian “Wonderland” remain divided by an ongoing feud between the Village’s Red and White kings? Not long ago, after the stalls were cleaned and the horses fed, I took my customary threeminute shower and gussied up for a Friday night off the farm. My social calendar is not broad – truth be told, dull is a more appropriate word. And this particular Friday presented mild panic as to what would suit a feed store opening, a fashion show and league bowling. From the back of the armoire came my deep-blue Q-Baby Wranglers. A fitted sleeveless blouse was topped-off with a fabulous long, light-cotton shrug and croc-leather boots. Assessment: overdone for the feed store, pitiful for a fashion show and versatile for bowling. Out the door I went. The grand opening of The British Feed Store’s new location took place in the Loxahatchee plaza behind Boonies. Complete with a band and a bounce house for the kids, the celebration was a heart-felt thank you to the patrons who stuck with them in their first year of business. Seasonal equestrians and local folks chatted easily at tables or atop stacks of feed bags. Food was catered by a neighboring Thai restaurant and toddling, barefoot niños and niñas mixed into the crowd.
Bidding adieu to the Brits, I drove with a lump in my throat to the Triple Bar Restaurant at the WEF showgrounds. My sole reason for attending Katherine Polk’s trunk show of Houghton clothing was to support my friend who organized the event. With a deep breath, I handed the keys to the valet and walked into my din of insecurity. And I met warm, lovely people! With some up-and-coming, talented riders, we easily talked ‘horse’ over drinks. Introduced to the petite designer, I was embraced and thanked without reserve for attending her event. The former equestrian’s line has appeared on runways in Europe and New York. (And she thanked me for coming?) On the drive to the bowling alley I marveled how the horse industry crosses and twines human differences into something unified. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as evidenced by the equine version of an “Alice in Wonderland” conflict that roils and divides our equestrian community. “Red King” Jeremy Jacobs continues his “off with their heads” tantrum over the White King – Mark Bellisimo – and the growth of Wellington’s Winter Equestrian
Festival and dressage facility. Interpret as you wish the White King’s method of “seek forgiveness, versus get permission.” Bellisimo’s and the Wellington Equestrian Partnership’s approach is smart, progressive and inclusive to equestrians and the people of the communities directly affected by the festival. That’s not how the Red King and the Wellington Equestrian Preservation Alliance see it. According to a story published in the April issue of Boston Magazine titled, “Trouble in Paradise,” the Alliance sees
themselves as “the elite of elites,” and feels the world-class integrity of the festival has been denigrated. In another passage, the Alliance’s spokesman, Mason Phelps, discusses the controversy that ensued in 2010 after Bellissimo agreed to rent out the center for a performance by a hip-hop artist. “That didn’t go over too well,” the article quotes Phelps. “Nor did we want to attract the kind of people the … concert would attract to this community. … I don’t mean to sound like a snob, but this is a fairly upscale community, and we don’t need to bring the low- and middleincome hooligans into town and have them all of a sudden say,
Wow, good pickins’ out here.” Pulling up to the bowling alley, I couldn’t help but remember the wisdom of Star Trek’s Mr. Spock: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Now is the time for common sense and community to come together. Laura Danowski is the owner of Heads-Up Media, specializing in equestrian promotion. A former circuit competitor, she now resides on her layup facility in Loxahatchee.

‘Pain & Gain’ has plenty of former, little of latter By DAVID GERMAIN The Associated Press
There’s a siege mentality about Michael Bay’s movies, as though viewers are the enemy holed up in a bunker and he’s the guy ordering heavy-metal music around-the-clock to wear down our morale and force us to surrender. Bay’s true-crime caper “Pain & Gain” lacks the visual-effects mayhem and sci-fi cacophony of his “Transformers” blockbusters, yet the movie uses all the shock and awe and noise and bluster the director has in his utterly unsubtle arsenal. Unlike Bay’s usual action nonsense, there’s a story, screenplay, characters and wry mix of suspense and pitiable comedy to be had in the tale of three Florida bodybuilders who blunder through kidnapping schemes like the Three Stooges on steroids. Bay drowns “Pain & Gain” in gimmick and style which, rather than gussying things up, dresses them down to make the movie even more ugly and sordid than it is on paper. That these three guys, played by Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie, are boobs and imbeciles, we get it from their actions. That what they do is reprehensible, that’s clear to see. That the world as they view it is twisted and coarse, another given. So why can’t Bay set aside a few visual tricks and give us an occasional breather from the overload on screen? “Pain & Gain” is a two-hour onslaught of dizzy, drunken cuts, hot bod-
ies in empty poises, shifting perspectives (with a babble of alternating character voiceovers to accompany) and often sickening images. Example: Bay puts all of his technical know-how into a remarkably constructed shot of Tony Shalhoub, as the bodybuilders’ first victim, spewing spit as he’s Tasered. It’s done in agonizing slow-motion and extreme close-up, huge bubbles of saliva erupting from Shalhoub’s mouth. An impressive bit of technical work that’s just disgusting and unpleasant to watch. Likewise Wahlberg, so boyishly charming as another stunted man-child in last summer’s “Ted,” shows nothing but grubbiness as Daniel Lugo, the dimwitted mastermind of this plot carried out around Miami in the mid-1990s. An ignoramus awash in envy toward the rich people he trains at a gym, Lugo enlists disciple Adrian Doorbal (Mackie) and born-again ex-con Paul Drake (Johnson) to kidnap self-made millionaire Victor Kershaw (Shalhoub) and torture him to extort everything he’s got. The dumbfounding farce of how these guys screw things up should be entertainment enough
Pain and Gain
all on its own. Some of that still comes through in the screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Johnson comes off best among the three bad guys, clearly relishing his beta-stooge role as Curly to Wahlberg’s Moe that frees him up for some goofy, unmanly hijinks. Shalhoub rises above the chaos with razor ferocity to show yet again that he’s one of Hollywood’s finest character actors. Ed Harris adds the movie’s only notes of grace and class as a detective on the case, while Rebel Wilson has scene-stealing moments that feel wonderfully improvised as Doorbal’s kooky wife. But those few highlights are incinerated in the bonfires Bay sets on-screen. You don’t expect a real-life story as nasty as this to be a pretty fairy tale. The details are so absurdly tragic, though, that “Pain & Gain” could have been a very entertaining romp through the American dream as reflected in a funhouse mirror. Instead, it’s a lesson in highgloss odiousness refracted through the frenzied, look-whatI-can-do lens of Michael Bay.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WELLINGTON
Take advantage of all Wellington has to offer this summer From weekly free concerts and movies to camps for both kids and adults, there’s something for everyone. By MAYOR BOB MARGOLIS Exclusive to Palms West Monthly
As both Mayor and a citizen of Wellington, I make it a point to ensure that our community has the best parks, special events and recreational programs. And now that it’s that time of the year where the weather warms up, the kids get out of school and we all head outside, I want to share what activities we have for you coming up this summer. Our annual Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony will be held Monday, May 27. The parade begins at 8:15 a.m. at the Municipal Complex and continues down Forest Hill Boulevard to Southshore Boulevard, where the ceremony starts at
8:30 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial. Please join us to remember the fallen soldiers who served so valiantly over the years defending our freedom. If you know anyone who is serving or who has served, please thank them for their dedication and sacrifice. If you would like to honor a veteran by having their name and service branch added to the roll call, please contact Nicole Evangelista at (561) 791-4000 or email her at nevangelista@wellingtonfl.gov. We’re also holding our first Aquathon event at the Aquatic Complex. The event, for adults 18 and over, takes place Sunday, May 5, from 6-11 a.m. All abilities are welcome. Register online at active.com.
Come out each Friday and Saturday night this summer to the Wellington Amphitheater for free concerts and movies! Each Friday night a tribute band will perform, and each Saturday night we’ll feature a different film. Concerts and films begin at 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. Enroll your kids ages 5 to 15 in our All Day Summer Camp for an experience they’ll never forget! Camp runs June to August from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The resident fee is $160 per week. Campers will participate in many activities – sporting events, arts and crafts, animal exhibits, magicians, swimming, rock wall climbing and much more. Register at Village Park. We also offer numerous camps and academies for kids and teens running the gamut from acting and dancing, sports, cheerleading, gymnastics and martial arts. We didn’t forget about adults, either!
Our adult programs include softball, boating, and exercise and fitness classes. For seniors, we also offer arts and crafts, Brunch-NBingo, Wii Games, and seminars and workshops. There is something for everyone! Head over to the Parks & Recreation section of Wellington’s website at wellingtonfl.gov for more information on the dates and times for programs. I’m proud of all that we offer – it’s what makes Wellington a Great Hometown. I look forward to seeing our community have a wonderful time this summer!

either side of our front door to brighten up our entryway,” Stacy said. Mounts is quite a resource, and it’s unknown, said Allen Sistrunk, the garden’s director. “The garden is a program of the Cooperative Extension Service, but it is also a public trust and a bona fide not-for-profit. “It’s a public garden that teaches people, through programs and living gardens, how to garden in one of the most challenging areas of this country. “When I moved down here ten years ago, I learned that this is not an easy place
to garden, and if I felt that way after gardening professionally for 35 years, what must newcomers feel?” said Sistrunk. In the past, the local nursery or garden center were the go-to places to buy and learn how to take care of plants. Now, it’s the age of big box stores, but they don’t provide gardening information, Sistrunk said. “Unless that trend changes, Mounts is going to become more needed than ever.” Mounts is different from many other botanical gardens, Sistrunk explained. “We don’t group our plants in collections. We display them in settings so that you can come here and get ideas about

what you can do with your own gardens. “We don’t grow the rarest, the hardest to find. We grow true garden-worthy plants that anybody can succeed with in Palm Beach County. For example, we have a hundred different palms trees in our garden, and each one is planted in the right place for it to contribute to a design and to grow healthy where it’s planted – the right plant, the right place.” In addition to learning while wandering, the garden offers a wide variety of classes, fun activities for children, plant sales and easy access to answers for pesky plant problems. “Our mission is to inspire and teach the art, science and joy of successful gardening in the county,” Sistrunk said. “All of our programs are mission related.” Classes and workshops abound, from growing bromeliads and orchids to tree pruning and managing weeds. Take Urban Farming program, for example. “I’ve never seen such a trend to grow vegetables, fruits and herbs like I’ve seen today,” Sistrunk said. “I think every household has somebody in it who’s conscious of where and how things are processed. We offer Urban Farming four times a year.” Mounts’ three plant sales during the year offer a face-to-face opportunity to speak to the nursery people who’ve grown the plants and find out their tricks of the trade. A volunteer nursery guild sells plants they’ve propagated and grown on Monday and Thursday

mornings at bargain prices, and then there’s the Master Gardener help desk. “You can bring a plant problem to them, call them on the phone, reach them via the Internet and there’s rarely a problem they can’t solve,” Sistrunk said. And if that’s not good enough, you can become a master gardener yourself. The five-month program costs $199.

WPB’s Hurricane Amnesty program now in effect The City of West Palm Beach’s Hurricane Amnesty Program is now in effect, lifting the usual limits on how much yard debris the city will haul away from residents’ homes. The city will haul away any amount of yard debris during regular yard waste pick up days. Usually the limit to the amount of yard debris on any given day is a pile 4 feet wide by 4 feet high by 17 feet long. The Hurricane Amnesty Program is offered to encourage homeowners to start trimming back trees, pruning shrubs and removing other overgrowth that could be blown around during a hurricane. “There are so many things that can go wrong during a
hurricane if your trees are not properly trimmed,” said West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio. “Trees can be blown over into homes, onto power lines or into streets. Tree limbs can become dangerous projectiles.” Two rules need to be followed when you put out piles of yard debris. First, don’t pile yard debris on top of storm drains. Second, try not to pile yard debris under power lines making it harder for trucks to pull up next to it and pick it up. The amnesty program applies to all residential vegetation and yard waste. It does not apply to commercial landscaping debris, or commercial properties. The program runs through June 15.

Outside the Neighborhood A goat walks into a bar …
BUTTE, Mont. — Butte barflies may have thought they had one too many when a goat walked into one tavern. A patron called to complain that somebody brought the female pygmy goat into an unidentified Butte bar. The Montana Standard reports an animal control officer picked up the goat outside the bar and took it to a shelter. Chelsea Bailey Animal Shelter Supervisor Jacki Casagranda said if the owner doesn’t come forward, shelter workers will begin the process to adopt it. Casagranda says it’s the first time an impounded goat has been brought to the shelter. The shelter workers are calling the goat Shirley, and they say it is sweet and friendly.
RI lawmakers chew on proposed state appetizer
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Legislators are biting into a proposal to make Rhode Island-style calamari the state’s official appetizer. A local chef cooked up several batches at the Statehouse recently as a panel of lawmakers reviewed legislation that would give special status to the squid dish. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Joseph McNamara, says his idea is meant to recognize the state’s fishing industry and restaurants. Situated right in the middle of the Atlantic squid belt, Rhode Island’s fishing fleet hauls in more than half of the squid harvested on the East Coast. Rhode Island-style calamari is typically served with pickled banana peppers and tends to be more tender than the rub-
bery rings sometimes found elsewhere. Chef Dean Scanlon says the secret is fresh ingredients, the right temperature and perfect timing.
Pa. woman cited for calling 911 seeking divorce
GIRARD, Pa. — Police have cited a 42-year-old Pennsylvania woman for disorderly conduct after she called 911 requesting a divorce and police assistance to make her husband leave. Troopers say the woman called just after 1 a.m. on April 13, asking that officers be sent to her home in Girard Township in northwestern Pennsylvania. Police say they explained to the woman, whom they are not identifying, that a divorce is a civil matter and that they could not make her husband leave the residence because no crime had been committed. Instead, police have cited the woman for disorderly conduct and misusing the Erie County 911 system.
Lost Civil War ring returned to kin of Pa. soldier
READING, Pa. — A ring lost by a Union soldier from Pennsylvania during the Civil War has completed a long journey home. The ring was worn by Levi Schlegel, a Reading-area native who is believed to have lost it nearly 150 years ago at an encampment near Fredericksburg, Va. Relic hunter John Blue found the ring at a construction site in 2005. Though it was engraved with Schlegel’s name and unit – “Co. G., 198th P.V.,” or Pennsylvania Volunteers – Blue wasn’t sure how to find Schlegel’s descendants, and kept the ring in a box for several years. A genealogist ultimately
helped Blue track down Schlegel’s family. On April 9, Blue presented the ring to a distant cousin during a ceremony at Levi Schlegel’s grave in Reading. “This is truly a hero’s journey,” said the cousin, Ernie Schlegel. Another distant relative, James W. Schlegel of Reading, said he felt pride as he touched the ring. “I think about all the time that passed since Levi and so many others fought for our freedom,” Schlegel, who served in the Air Force during the Vietnam War, told the Reading Eagle. “As a veteran, I know the importance of fighting for freedom, and I’m proud to know the Schlegel family did its part.” After the war, Levi Schlegel returned to Reading, where he worked as a carpenter and helped raise 11 children. He died in 1932 at age 91.
Judge holds self in contempt for his smartphone
IONIA, Mich. — A Michigan judge whose smartphone disrupted a hearing in his own courtroom has held himself in contempt and paid $25 for the infraction. Judge Raymond Voet has a posted policy at Ionia County 64A District Court stating that electronic devices causing a disturbance during court sessions will result in the owner being cited with contempt, the SentinelStandard of Ionia reported. During a prosecutor’s closing argument as part of a jury trial, Voet’s new smartphone began to emit sounds requesting phone voice commands. Voet said he thinks he bumped the phone, and the embarrassment likely left his face red.
N.H. Police recover $3,200 swallowed ring
MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Police say they’ve got the $3,200 engagement ring a man allegedly swallowed during an attempted jewelry store theft. Authorities charged 52-year-old Ronald Perley with theft and falsifying physical evidence after they say X-rays showed the 14-karat white-gold ring with princess-cut diamonds inside him. WMUR-TV reports that police in New Hampshire had successfully recovered the ring. Perley allegedly went into a shop asking about engagement rings. Workers said he grabbed a ring, then swallowed it after being confronted. Police say surveillance footage shows Perley taking the ring and putting his hand to his mouth. Perley was being held on $50,000 bail. “That’s an excuse, but I don’t take those excuses from anyone else. I set the bar high, because cellphones are a distraction and there is very serious business going on,’’ he said. Over the years, the judge has taken phones away from police officers, attorneys, witnesses, spectators and friends. During a break in the trial, Voet held himself in contempt, fined himself and paid the fine. “Judges are humans,” Voet said. “They’re not above the rules. I broke the rule and I have to live by it.”

Aries (March 21 - April 20) Things have gotten so stale you’re uninspired. You may think you’re stuck here but all you have to do is change your latitude. Different scenery will open your mind to new and unusual possibilities. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) You don’t like being told how to run your life. Whoever’s doing the preaching has no clue what you need right now. Loosening up will help you get in touch with what’s important. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You keep coming up against the same old thing. Changing the scenery won’t change the story. It would be easier to get to the bottom of them if you erased the idea that they will go away by themselves. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) You have several choices facing you. It all boils down to what would make you happy. If you keep saying you can’t do this, nothing will change. Following the rules won’t keep you safe. Don’t be afraid to break them.
Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) Stop looking for results and just keep working in ways that allow you to find joy in the moment. The “big bangs” in our lives are so few and far between. Learn how to see the beauty in small things. Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) For now, just try to keep working without needing to seek the limelight. Cream always rises to the top and before you know it you’ll have plenty of recognition. Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Things are crazy but you’re learning to live with it. If at times you feel divided, I’m not surprised. Your outer role is so different than the role you’re expected to play at home, you need a split personality to handle it all. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Whomever came to save the day isn’t much better than the one who screwed things up. You need this as much as you need a hole in the head. Keep your sense of humor and if it’s time to leave, don’t hesitate.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Rethinking our choices is sobering. What would have been easy has been complicated by people who aren’t as ready to face the truth as you are. Any regrets you have about stirring things up won’t change the fact that you have. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Others view this situation from a very selfish perspective. Whatever comes out of it will leave you with the short end of the stick – but God has his own way of balancing things. In the end you’ll come out on top. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Don’t be taken in by people who flaunt their credentials to disguise the fact that they’re totally insecure. Having all the right moves means nothing. Use your intuition. Things ain’t what they appear to be. Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) Others have made some very foolish mistakes. Your dilemma is will you forgive them. The fact that you might be willing to let this go may teach you about the true nature of human love.
