7 ways to save on national park trips An annual pass costs just $80 and can be used at more than 2,000 federal recreation sites across the country. By LAUREN SCHWAHN The Associated Press
America’s national parks are brimming with natural wonders: cascading waterfalls, towering redwoods, white sand beaches. In 2017, nearly 331 million people visited the national parks. But visiting these gems can cost money and soon will get a little pricier: Many national parks will increase their entrance fees by $5 beginning June 1. In honor of National Park Week held April 21-29, here are seven ways to plan a cheaper national park trip.
TRAVEL OFF-PEAK
Mikah Meyer, 32, wants to become the youngest person to visit all 417 National Park Service sites. In the past two years, the Nebraska native has crossed more than 300 off the list while living out of his trusty 2014 Ram ProMaster, a white, windowless cargo van he’s dubbed “Vanny McVanface.” He’s just one of the more than 330 million people who visited the national park system in 2017. Rooms and campsites fill up fast during weekends, spring break and summer. Meyer suggests visiting offseason to save money and avoid crowds. But there are trade-offs. “Sometimes you’ll go to parks like Yosemite where certain trails and waterfalls are closed because they’re snowed in,” Meyer says. Research seasonal conditions to prevent surprises, and note that some destinations have atypical high seasons. Warm-weather parks such as Death Valley and Everglades are busiest in winter.
VISIT FOR FREE
More than two-thirds of national parks remain free year-round. The others waive
entrance fees on certain dates. The remaining fee-free days in 2018 are: National Public Lands Day: Sept. 22 Veterans Day: Nov. 11 The entrance fee waiver for fee-free days does not cover user fees for activities such as camping, boat launches and special tours. With free days dwindling – down from 10 in 2017 to four in 2018 – and potential fee hikes looming, take advantage.
ANNUAL PASSES AND DISCOUNTS
An annual pass costs $80 and can pay for itself if you plan to visit multiple parks in a 12-month period. A pass covers entrance, standard amenity fees and day use fees for a driver and all passengers in a personal vehicle at per vehicle fee areas, or up to four adults at sites that charge per person. U.S. military members and their dependents can get the annual pass for free, as can fourth-grade students and certain volunteers. For seniors, annual passes cost $20 and lifetime passes $80. Access passes are free for U.S. citizens or permanent residents with permanent disabilities. Applicants must provide documentation of permanent disability and residency or citizenship. Travelers can also leverage perks offered by wholesale clubs, frequent flyer programs and other memberships, such as AAA.
SKIP THE EXPENSIVE LODGE
Camp by tent or vehicle to cut costs. Backcountry campsites, which are generally in remote areas accessible only on foot, are usually cheaper than developed campsites, says Kathy Kupper, public affairs specialist for the National Park Service. Campsites at Glacier National Park cost a maximum of $23 per night during peak season, for example, compared with the hundreds of dollars a night you might pay
to stay in a lodge. To avoid camping fees outright, Meyer parks in Walmart or hotel parking lots that allow it. He also camps free in U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management areas near national parks. “Sometimes they have actual campsites with running water and bathrooms, and other times it’s just wherever you can fit your car, there you go,” Meyer says. Contact your local agency offices for details. If roughing it doesn’t appeal to you, try hotels or rentals in gateway communities. Neighboring towns typically have more rooms and are less expensive than park lodges.
BUY SUPPLIES BEFOREHAND
Don’t wait until you’re near or inside the park to stock up on food, gas and other essentials. “The closer you get to these places, especially when they’re out in the wilderness, there’s going to be that convenience charge,” Meyer says. “Something you might buy for $3 at your local grocery store could be $7 or $8 in the middle of nowhere.”
EXPLORE YOUR BACKYARD
Every state has at least one national park site, so you don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of money to travel to one. “It’s not always saving up for that oncein-a-lifetime trip to the Grand Canyon. You can go for a day or a weekend to a park near you,” Kupper says.
LOOK FOR FREE ACTIVITIES
National Park Service programming, with very few exceptions, is free, Kupper says. That includes activities like ranger-led hikes, snowshoe walks and kayak tours. You can see potential itineraries and book tours at the National Park Service website. Once in the park, stop by a visitor center for more information. “Spending time in nature is good for body and soul,” Kupper says. Doing it cheaply can be good for your wallet, too.

Letter to the Editor
Reader points out error in April Crossword Dear Sir or Madam: I eagerly await the crossword puzzle in your publication each month. Sadly, in your April 2018 edition, the Universal Crossword is in error. The clues (both Across and Down) do not match either the amount of blocks available or the numbering of the crossword blocks. Perhaps the clues should be associated with a different puzzle. Nevertheless, this was very disappointing. Lest others wrestle unduly with trying to “fit ‘square’ answers into ‘round’ blocks,” I request that you publish an errata announcement in the May issue and that you also provide your readers both (1) the correct Answer/Clue/Block Number puzzle to replace the erroneous one in the April issue and (2) an extra (correctly done) puzzle to make up for this error.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Bette Kester Conrad, D.D., J.D. Royal Palm Beach Editor’s Note: Thank you to everyone who pointed out our blunder of publishing the wrong clues to the crossword puzzle in the April issue. There were undoubtedly many more readers who were confused and perhaps pulling out their hair over our mistake. Due to space constraints, we can only publish one puzzle per issue. Therefore, we have re-printed April’s puzzle on page 18 with the correct clues. Please accept our sincerest apologies, along with a bonus clue: “A four-letter word used to show recognition of a mistake or minor accident, often as part of an apology.” (Hint: Begins with “O” and ends with “ops!”

PBSC students win Model United Nations Conference award
Palm Beach State College’s seven-member student team won a Distinguished Delegation Award for its representation of Luxembourg at this year’s National Model United Nations Conference in New York. This was PBSC’s fourth year participating in the annual event, billed as the world’s largest intercollegiate Model U.N. Conference, and third time earning an award, including its second for Distinguished Delegation. During two conferences in March, more than 5,000 college and university students simulated the functions of the United Nations, which brings together diplomats from approximately 200 countries of the world to pursue peaceful and multilateral solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. PBSC’s seven-member team attended the second conference held March 25-29 with more than 2,500 students from 160 schools. The team included Sharmin
Shahjahan, Trinity Stratemeyer, Liz Zayas, Sokolnicka Vilbon, Ariam Hernandez, Bryan Padilla and Joseph Morel, PBSC’s student trustee. “The first year we sent a team to the conference was a learning experience because we were all new to it,” said professor Terry Randolph, who teaches political science on the Boca Raton campus and oversees the team. “After the first year, we have developed a stronger and stronger program based on our experiences.” For the first time this year, Randolph selected the team through a competitive audition process open to all students. “The entire experience of Model U.N. was like nothing I had gone through before,” said Shahjahan. “Being surrounded by so many motivated and passionate people who all are striving for a better future was very inspiring.”

These are just a few of the topics that have been covered in the new podcast, “The Coffee Life.” This online show has a very simple premise: talk about the things that are talked about in a coffee shop. For the last few months, Sean Scott, co-owner of Subculture Coffee, has been interviewing people who come through the doors. You can find “The Coffee Life”
wherever you listen to podcasts: Apple iTunes, Stitcher Radio and SoundCloud if you want to listen from your computer. One of my favorite episodes was with WPTV anchor Chris Stewart, who talked about producing the local news. Topics ranged from Stewart’s experience curling in Vero Beach to the business of local news and how anchors cover difficult stories like the Pulse nightclub shooting. Regardless of guests on the show, the topic of conversation always turns to the future of West Palm Beach.

“It’s incredible,” said Stewart. “I’ve been here for four years. If you just think back to two years ago, what the skyline in the city looked like and then what it looks like now.” He continued, “I just went to the new Restoration Hardware … The combination of hardware and food works. It’s an incredible building. … The new Hilton is here, Brightline is now running … it’s cool to see West Palm Beach growing the way it is.” Scott and partner Rodney Mayo founded Subculture Coffee in 2014. In the last four years, Scott expanded the Clematis Street location to include a food venue called The Annex where patrons can get a breakfast smoothie, coldpressed juices, salads, Cuban sandwiches and more. On Clematis Street, Subculture wanted outdoor seating space, so they worked with the city to use the adjacent city-owned alley. Seating was added, and thanks to the Canvas art show, Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra painted the now-iconic mural of Einstein on the wall, immediately transforming the space into a vibrant community meeting area. Each move, whether it’s starting a new music event like the
wildly popular Tacos and Hip Hop (which takes place in the alley on the last Friday of every month) or starting a podcast, goes to further the goals stated on the company’s website: “We are two local guys, Rodney and Sean, who believe in two simple things: The Coffee Culture and this City. We strongly believe in fostering a community of diversity and expression, one that brings soul to our City.” When news broke of the horrific Parkland shootings, Scott immediately hosted a town hall meeting attended by over 60 people. Local law enforcement attended, as did teachers, mental health professionals, people who struggled with mental health issues, concerned parents and community members. The meeting was followed up by a second workshop that tackled specific issues and created community-driven recommendations which were submitted to city and state representatives. With the same goal of finding actionable solutions to common issues, Scott also leads a bi-monthly Downtown Merchants Association meeting that meets with city hall and works through the many issues facing downtown merchants. “I’ve tried to do as much as I can to help facilitate communication between other merchants and stakeholders and
the city staff to create a cohesive vision to help push this city forward in a healthier and more unified way,” Scott said in a frank discussion with West Palm Beach Director of Economic Development Chris Roog. “There is always this idea that city planning is done by government and that government doesn’t have good ideas, so I thought that there has to be another way,” said Scott. “This is their city and this is our city, we’re both working toward the future and I think we can do this better. There can be some ways to do this in a proactive manner and create relationships that are exciting and strengthening.” When you subscribe to “The Coffee Life” you can listen to the heartbeat of downtown West Palm Beach at your leisure. Who knows, maybe if I play my cards right, you might just hear me as a guest on the show soon!

Using Adobe Photoshop and Elements, they will learn image adjustment techniques such as color correction, compositing images, adjustment layers and layer masks and other digital imaging technology. The computer lab is set up so that each student has access to a computer, ensuring the ultimate hands-on experience. The culmination of all three sessions of FOTOcamp for Kids will be a special exhibition of photos taken by the young students.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Dramaworks announces 2018/2019 season Palm Beach Dramaworks in downtown West Palm Beach has announced its 2018-19 season, featuring five productions made up of three 21st-century works, a world premiere, a musical and two contemporary classics from the latter part of the 20th century. The season starts with Paula Vogel’s “Indecent,” which runs Oct. 19 through Nov. 11. The play features music and explores the journey of Sholem Asch’s controversial drama “God of Vengeance.” Up next will be the world premiere of “House on Fire,” opening Dec. 7 and running through Dec. 30. The play by Lyle Kessler is about how a father and his two sons’ lives are forever changed when two
strangers appear. The season continues with “The Spitfire Grill” which runs Feb. 1-24.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
Cost of living in the big apple very hard to swallow According to a recent Financial Times article, the apartment prices in Manhattan have plunged. Last year, you needed to fork over $2.21 million for the average apartment, but now, you can scoop one up for the low, low price of only $2 million. Why are you still reading this? What are you waiting for?! Shouldn’t you be on the phone right now, trying to snap up a New York apartment at a bargain-basement price before it’s too late? Leave me out of the apartment hunt. For one thing, you couldn’t pay me to live there again. And then there’s the little matter of not having anywhere near $2 million, nor being likely to get it in the future. Even if the price really plunged – to, say, $1 million – I still couldn’t afford it. There are probably very few people who work at the Financial Times who could afford it, either. So why are they using the word “plunge”? The more accurate headline would be, “Absurdly Overpriced Manhattan Apartments Now Just Insanely Overpriced.” According to the Kander and Ebb song, “New York, New York,” if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. But let’s be honest: “Making it” is a very squishy term. There are highprofile surgeons who live in tiny Manhattan lofts with IKEA fur-
niture. Married lawyers have to share a bathroom with their kids. Successful CPAs have tiny galley kitchens and panoramic views of dirty air shafts. Ph.D.s live in sketchy walk-ups. Well-respected artists live in neighborhoods so far off the map that they don’t even have catchy acronyms like Dumbo and NoHo yet. Have they all “made it”? Divorces, children, college loans, rent, maintenance charges and mortgages eat up money like sharks going through chum. Not to mention, you also have to furnish that $2 million apartment. And who’s going to clean it? Not that they really get that dirty. The whole point of living
in Manhattan is that you can eat out seven nights a week for 20 years and never visit the same restaurant twice. The chef’s kitchen you just had to have in your $2 million apartment will sit there unused. It’s only Saudi princes and Russian mobsters who own those apartments you see featured in glossy magazines – the ones with two-story windows and views of the park and the skyline. Only rapacious Wall Streeters and their undeserving spawn own apartments with slash-free rooms. Meaning, no living/dining room, bedroom/office, kitchen/ bath/weeping parlor for them. Those places are for the help.
People like you and me. “If the Russians had won the Cold War and forced people to live in apartments like mine,” said my work friend Marie at a longago brunch, “we’d rise against our oppressors and slaughter them with glee. But when we do it to ourselves, we think it’s wonderful. It’s Manhattan! “What makes it even worse,” she said, “is that I’m secondhomeless.” Marie was talking about the plight of many worker bees in Manhattan, who were so poor that they couldn’t afford second homes in the Hamptons or the Catskills. The people who are buying those $2 million apartments also have second,
and sometimes third, homes far away from the city center. I called Marie this week to make sure she’d heard the news about all the bargain apartments that she could be buying now. “Yeah, thanks for telling me,” she said. “I’ll call a real estate broker as soon as I get off the phone with you. What’s the down payment on that, like, $200,000? Yeah, I can make that work. And then 30 years of paying $24,000 for the monthly mortgage? Sure. Let me just call my boss and see if I can get her to give me a thousand-percent raise. And a big bonus. “Thanks for reminding me what a loser I am,” she added. “Do me a favor, would you? Lose this number. Bye.” You just can’t make some people happy. Jim Mullen is the author of “It Takes a Village Idiot: A Memoir of Life After the City,” a comic memoir about his move from New York City’s Greenwich Village to a former dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains. His freelance work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine and The Village Voice.

When to say when: Study says limit alcohol to 1 drink a day By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK — Here’s some sobering news: A large international study says adults should average no more than one alcoholic drink per day, and that means drinking guidelines in many countries may be far too loose. The study found that people who down more than seven drinks a week can expect to die sooner than those who drink less. “What this is saying is, if you’re really concerned about your longevity, don’t have more than a drink a day,’’ said David Jernigan, a Johns Hopkins University alcohol researcher who was not involved in the study. While the U.S. government currently recommends no more than seven drinks a week for women, the recommendation for men is 14 drinks. That’s because earlier studies found women are hit by the effects of alcohol at lower amounts than men for several reasons, including women weigh less than men on average and blood alcohol concentrations rise faster. The new study estimates that 40-year-old men who drink as much as the current U.S. guidelines allow can expect to

live one to two years less than men who have no more than seven drinks per week. Canada and Sweden have guidelines similar to those in the U.S. set by the Department of Agriculture. Some countries have much higher ceilings. Spain and Romania set the
upper limit for men at the equivalent of 20 drinks each week, for example. British guidelines were like the U.S. standards until two years ago, when U.K. health officials brought the recommendation for men down to the level for women.

The study “is a serious wakeup call for many countries,” Jeremy Pearson of the British Heart Foundation said in a statement. The group partly funded the study, which was published Thursday, April 12 by the Lancet journal. The research combined results from 83 studies conducted in 19 countries, tracking nearly 600,000 people who drank alcohol. The researchers focused on who developed – and died from – stroke and different forms of heart disease. They made a point of excluding people who had a known history of heart problems at the time they had entered a study. About half the participants said they had more than 100 grams of alcohol a week. There’s variation from country to country as to how many grams of alcohol are generally found in a standard drink. In Britain, that’s about six pints of
beer a week. But in the U.S., 100 grams is equivalent to what’s in seven 12-ounce cans of beer, 5-ounce glasses of wine, or 1.5-ounce shots of rum, gin or other distilled spirits. The researchers found a higher risk of stroke, heart failure and other problems in that group of heavier drinkers. That may partly reflect that alcohol can elevate blood pressure and alter cholesterol levels, the researchers said. Notably, the heavier drinkers were less likely to have a heart attack. But balanced against the increased risk of a stroke and other heart problems, the impact of drinking more than seven drinks a week is more bad than good, said the study’s lead author, Dr. Angela Wood of the University of Cambridge in England. Like most studies, this one has flaws. It’s not built to make firm conclusions about cause and effect. Research that rolls together previous studies can be problematic if they aren’t similar enough, though this one appears to have done a good job at overcoming that obstacle and combining comparable data, Jernigan said. Researchers relied on what participants reported drinking at the start, recognizing that many people may be lowballing how much they actually down. And the study didn’t account for any changes in their drinking habits. At O’Hara’s Restaurant and Pub, a watering hole in lower Manhattan, one patron shrugged off the study and its recommendation. Shawn Freeman, visiting from St. Louis, said other things influence how much he drinks, like his mood and whether he’ll be driving. Another patron, Jaussi Ruotsalainen, a tourist from Finland, said he rarely drinks because he has two young kids at home. “That takes care of it,” he said.

Cocaine in purse? Woman blames it on a windy day, police say
FORT PIERCE — Authorities say a Florida woman is blaming a windy day for the cocaine that police found in her purse. WPLG reported Kennecia Posey was one of two passengers in a car stopped by Fort Pierce police in late March. Police say an officer smelled marijuana and that, after searching the car, cocaine and marijuana in separate bags were found inside a purse Posey had on her lap. Authorities say they questioned Posey about the drugs. According to the police report, Posey responded: “It’s a windy day. It must have flown through the window and into my purse.” Posey was charged with a felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession. She was later released on bond.
Canadian teen wins $1K a week for life on 1st lottery ticket

The department also called for groundhog Punxsutawney Phil to turn himself in for predicting six more weeks of winter. Police joke that they’re willing to look past winter’s “most recent transgressions” if it works with the department. New York has experienced wintry weather in April and high winds that caused power outages.
Woman offers to trade Florida man asks car for candy wafers about stealing beer; REVERE, Mass. — A Florida woman really loves Necco learns it means jail Wafers, the colorful candies made by a Revere-based company that is currently as at risk of shutting down. The Boston Globe reports 23-year-old Katie Samuels reached out to candy wholesaler Candystore.com to offer her 2003 Honda Accord for all of their stock. Samuels has childhood memories of pretending the candies were communion at her grandmother’s home. In March, Necco announced that 395 workers could be laid off if the company does not find a buyer. Candystore.com did not accept the offer in what they’re calling “The Great Necco Wafer Panic,” but Samuels managed to buy four dozen rolls of the wafers. Necco, which has produced the candies since 1847, says sales have jumped since the Globe first reported their financial troubles.

SEBASTIAN — A Florida man asked the store clerk, “What would happen if I stole some beer?” Police say Christopher Maxwell soon found out. Sebastian police told TCPalm. com the 33-year-old Maxwell entered a convenience store at 2:30 a.m. Friday, April 13, but was told he couldn’t buy beer because alcohol sales are banned in the city between 1 and 7 a.m. In response to Maxwell’s question, the clerk replied she would call 911. Maxwell still grabbed two 18-packs of Bud Light and left. The clerk did as she said. Police found Maxwell nearby with an 18-pack in each hand. Officers said he struggled when they tried to arrest him.
Couple marry in supermarket amid veggies in aisle 13
LOWER BURRELL, Pa. — Attention all shoppers: wedding in aisle 13. A couple who met at a supermarket have tied the knot there with canned carrots and peas among their wedding guests. The Valley News Dispatch reported 69-year-old Larry Spiering and 61-year-old Becky Smith married at the Community Supermarket in Lower Burrell, where they met 10 years ago. Smith said she was working at the supermarket when Spiering walked up and gave her a piece of paper with his name and phone number on it. She said it was only fitting that they married in the aisle where they met. The judge who performed the ceremony said it was his first wedding at a grocery store. Store owner George Thimons said he was glad to accommodate the couple.
Handwritten note lands man Volkswagen bus of his dreams
LINDENHURST, N.Y. — A man has the car of his dreams eight years after he slipped a note inside the window of a blue 1971 Volkswagen bus that the then-16-year-old called his “future car.” Kyle Cropsey of Lindenhurst, New York, received a call in early April from Cris Mead, of Oakland, Calif. Mead’s father, Cornelius, had purchased the van new and named it Matilda, taking his family on cross-country trips. The son was cleaning it out after his father’s death when he came across Cropsey’s note tucked in the VW’s log book. Cris Mead tells Newsday the family decided to give Cropsey the van, on the condition he update them on its restoration and “go on plenty of adventures.” Cropsey, who is 23 and teaches English, says “it was fate.”

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 sober-
ing. 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.
