eateries, West Palm’s Northwood Village is making a comeback. By AMY WOODS Palms West Monthly
NORTHWOOD VILLAGE — Could Northwood Village be the next SoHo? A group of gallery owners thinks so. To prove it, they joined forces and formed ArtX, a consortium of 11 studios in the West Palm Beach neighborhood whose goal is to make the area a historic hub for arts and culture. “We want Northwood to be the center of art in West Palm Beach,” said graphic designer Jonathon Ortiz-Smykla, who opened OSGS on Northwood Road one year ago. “West Palm Beach doesn’t have something, and we want to provide that something.” One of the first things ArtX did was plan a monthly art walk modeled after the guided tours that take place in the trendy Miami district of Wynwood. The first walk in October attracted 60 participants – everyone from the casual observer to the
art aficionado. “That was the basis for the art walk, for them to sign up and see what’s here,” Ortiz-Smykla said. “There’s a misconception about what’s here.” Northwood Village has had a reputation as a lessthan-desirable place to go to, much less hang out in, village spokeswoman Ilene Adams said. “A lot of people are afraid of going to Northwood,” Adams said. “With the art walk, people will feel more comfortable because a docent will be there to take them around.” The one-hour tours will be offered the second Saturday of the month and will begin at the nonprofit Center for Creative Education on 24th Street. A guide gathers the group together, gives them an overview of Northwood Village and leads them up and
down the lively streets, making stops in each participating gallery. Guests can sip wine and enjoy appetizers while gallerists answer questions and artists present demonstrations. Those who attend the walk are offered discounts at the growing number of hip restaurants in the area, including just-opened Garage VV, the newest joint in the Little Moir family of eateries, and soon-tobe-relocated Aleyda’s, the Okeechobee Boulevard landmark known for its Mexican fare and exotic live birds. “Once the restaurants start coming, which they’re doing now, I think that’s a really good sign,” Adams said. “I think they’re really seeing the opportunity now that it’s becoming a vibrant arts community.” While some parts of the vil-

In Brief Wellington ranks ninth in state for jobs, says website
The consumer-advocacy website NerdWallet reported its top-10 list of places to find jobs in Florida and found Wellington is one of them. NerdWallet conducted a survey that analyzed more than 130 of the Sunshine State’s largest metropolitan areas and looked at such things as employment rates, median household incomes and population growth. The result? Wellington is the ninth-best place for job seekers in Florida. The survey found nearly 70 percent of residents have jobs, the income averages $78,268 and the population growth has been 4.4 percent between 2008 and 2011. “Key industries in Wellington include education, healthcare and social assistance,” NerdWallet analyst Annie Wang said. “Beyond just jobs, Wellington is also a great community to live in. It is known for its equestrian events, as well as its arts and culture scene.”
PBSC moves forward with Loxahatchee Groves campus
A unanimous vote by the Palm Beach State College District Board of Trustees calls for $4 million to be spent on design, infrastructure and site work for a new campus in Loxahatchee Groves – the institution’s fifth. The decision affords residents in the Loxahatchee area, as well as The Acreage, Royal Palm Beach and Wellington, easier access to higher education – one of PBSC’s primary goals. “We are committed to completing this project and providing access to the most underserved communities in our service area,” PBSC President Dennis Gallon said. “I’m confident that the residents in Loxahatchee Groves and surrounding communities will be pleased with the convenient educational programs and services this campus will provide.” Trustees also approved specifications for phase one of the project, which will see the con-

Information about the nomination forms and details about the criteria can be found online at palmbeachculture.com/ museawards. The submission deadline is 5 p.m. on Nov. 15. Judges for the nominations include local artists, community leaders and previous winners, as well as council board members. “It’s Palm Beach County’s version of the Academy Awards, and we invite the community to be a big part of this very special occasion,” said Rena Blades, president and CEO of the council.

struction of a 50,000-squarefoot administration and multipurpose building. In October 2012, college leaders completed the purchase of 75 acres and have gained compliance from the Loxahatchee Groves Town Council for all land-use regulations. The campus will sit on the northwest corner of Southern Boulevard and B Road. Carolyn Williams, trustees chairwoman, said the new school will meet the needs of western Palm Beach County’s population into the future.
Physicians talent show raises $35,000 for Adopt-a-Family
Thanks to money raised from the second annual Physicians Talent Showcase held in late August, Kretzer Piano Music Foundation recently presented a check for $35,000 to Adopt-aFamily of the Palm Beaches. The money is earmarked for Project Grow, which focuses on building social, emotional and educational skills for formerly homeless children who live in the agency’s housing programs. In the past year, Adopt-a-Family has helped 543 area families
have a safe place to live. The Kretzer Piano Music Foundation helps provide music education for underprivileged children and performance opportunities for young musicians in Palm Beach County. Nineteen area doctors presented the concert at the Harriet Himmel Theater in CityPlace in late August.
Revenue from discount prescription drug program to fund new projects New revenues provided to Palm Beach County from Caremark, the company that offers free prescription-discount cards to residents, will enable the commission to fund several programs this year, Mayor Steven Abrams said. The additional funds will help low-income families with their co-pays for prescriptions, support the purchase of new medical equipment for Animal Care and Control and also go to senior programs. A portion of the revenue will also pay for an outreach program to educate the public on how to obtain and use the cards. “The program is free and

To date, more than $13,000 in revenue has come in to the coffers. The discount card averages a 24-percent savings and can be used for prescription pet medicines, as well. The cards are available at the county’s administrative buildings, information centers, libraries and Palm Tran facilities. For more information about obtaining a card, call 355-2754.

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com
Hearing aids help some discover what’s been missing Thanks to a new set of hearing aids, Ernie watches less TV after realizing that he wasn’t missing much from his favorite shows. For quite a few years, family members and friends have told me I need to have my hearing checked. I’ve even had the idea suggested to me by complete strangers. They were all sure hearing aids were in my future. Naturally, I didn’t agree with all this “friendly advice.” I pretty much thought it was all a bunch of nonsense. But because of all the hassling I had to endure year after year about my hearing (or lack of hearing), I decided a few years back to get a hearing test, and I’ve gotten a hearing test every year since. The first few test results showed that I did indeed have a slight hearing loss in one ear and was borderline ready for a hearing aid. At the time, the choice was left up to me whether or not to get a hearing aid. Of course, being the vain person that I am, I kept telling myself as well as the folks who administered the test that I could get along quite well without the use of hearing aids. Well, almost. At the time, I did admit that I was having trouble clearly hearing some of my favorite TV shows. In fact, I remember telling
my doctor about “Law And Order.” I don’t know why, but for some reason this show plays very loud music when the actors are talking. Most of the time I couldn’t understand a word anyone was saying. (Funny how I don’t have this problem with commercials. Commercials come in so loud and clear that I sometimes need to turn the volume down just to get through them.) My doctor recommended a headset for when I watch TV. I took his advice and found that the headset worked wonders. I was now able to understand just about every spoken word from all my favorite shows. However, thanks to the headset, I actually watch less TV nowadays because I was able to realize that I wasn’t missing anything on the boob tube. And due to some research I did on my own, I discovered something else I thought was interesting: People suffering with hearing loss find it more difficult to hear voices of young female children. Being that I have four young granddaughters, I finally realized why I usually don’t understand them when we chat. I end up asking the girls to repeat themselves three or four times
before I get a clue what they’re trying to tell me. The hardest one for me to understand is the youngest, 4-year-old Breille. And, as it turns out, she’s the one who talks to me the most. With this new-found knowledge in hand, I went back to have my hearing tested, but this time I didn’t tell anyone. I made up my mind that if the results showed that I needed hearing aids, I would get them. Boy, was I surprised to learn that I now needed two hearing aids. It seems that both of my ears weren’t quite what they used to be. I wasn’t a happy camper. My pride almost got the better of me. At first, I said I wasn’t ready to get hearing aids but then common sense took over. I placed the order for two. When they arrived, I put them in my ears and didn’t say a word about it to anyone. When I finally told Sharon that I was wearing two hearing aids she didn’t believe me – that’s how well they’re hidden in my ears. (Lucky for me that even at my ripe old age I still have my hair, which can hide the hearing aid part that sits behind my ears.) I am now proud to say I have
what I would call Superman hearing. When I’m in a restaurant I can hear conversations four tables away very clearly. So, next time you’re in a restaurant and you happen to be talking about me, make sure you’re saying only good things. I could be lurking a few tables away hanging on every word. You’ve been warned! Now that I understand every single word all my granddaughters say to me, they talk non-stop – especially Breille. I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t been tempted to turn my hearing aids off in certain situations. I haven’t had to resort to that
yet, but it’s nice knowing I have that capability. Even I can admit when I’m wrong. The hearing aids have been a big improvement in my quality of life. 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.
Public invited to first reading of play based on Ernie’s life In the June 2013 issue, our own Ernie Zimmerman wrote about how – thanks to Facebook – he had connected with an old high-school classmate who’s a playwright. After a few conversations, this person seemed to show an interest in writing a play loosely based on his life. (“Could Ernie’s story be heading to the Great White Way?”) Fast forward five months later and it looks like this workin-progress will have its birth right here in West Palm Beach. Playwright Kay Cosgriff and Ernie have announced that the first public reading of the play will take place Sunday, Nov. 10, and Palms West Monthly readers are invited to attend. The reading takes place at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham at 301 Lamberton Dr. in West Palm Beach at 3:30 p.m. There’s

limited seating, but anyone interested in attending should call Cosgriff at (216) 912-8674 to reserve a seat. According to a release sent out by Cosgriff, “The capture of Saigon by the Vietnam People’s Army in April of 1975 marked the end of a war. A war that caused more public controversy in America either before or since … “‘Beyond Brighton!’ personalizes this epic event in America’s history. It allows one soldier’s voice as a kid playing on the streets in Brighton, which now as NYPD he protects … not only be heard but include the hell in between.” According to Cosgriff, the reading will run about one hour with no costumes and no sets. Actors will just read their lines. Afterward, the audience will be asked for comments.

The first tour starts at 6 p.m., with the second tour starting at 7:20 p.m. Tickets cost $15. Participating galleries are Art House 429, Bohemia AG, Center for Creative Education, Christopher Gatelock Photography, Gallery 418, Harold’s Coffee Lounge Art, Hennevelt’s Gallery & Gifts, Northwood Glass Art and Gifts, OSGS and Suzanne Connors Fine Art Gallery. “The focus is strictly the art galleries,” said Evelyn Ortiz-Smykla, Jonathon’s mother and OSGS co-owner. “We each have our own unique identity.” Their gallery sells work from a paint-

The walk not only gave OSGS exposure to new audiences, it also afforded the gallery a sale. “It was incredible,” Evelyn Ortiz-Smykla said. “It was just great. There was foot traffic everywhere. It was more people than we actually dreamed would ever show.” The art walk serves as a family-friendly complement to Northwood Village’s Art & Wine Promenade, a festive evening the last Friday of the month. The Art & Wine Promenade draws vendors, bands and radio personalities who set up al fresco booths to entertain passers-by from 6 to 9 p.m. “It’s a huge revitalization,” Evelyn Ortiz-Smykla said. “They’ve really done a lot to bring in new business.”

Jackson Nicoll stars as Billy and Johnny Knoxville stars as Irving Zisman in Paramount Pictures’ “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.”
‘Bad Grandpa’ shows ‘Jackass’ still spry By SCOTT FOUNDAS Variety
If the “Jackass” movies have always spit exuberantly in the face of age and mortality, it’s fitting that co-creators Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine have now given us one devoted to Knoxville’s octogenarian alter ego, Irving Zisman. Strangely touching, too, given that the “Jackass” boys are all in their 40s now and still throwing caution to the wind. Strapping a loose narrative framework onto the series’ patented stunts and candidcamera gags, “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” shows there’s still comic life in this decade-old franchise – provided, of course, the sight of a senior citizen getting his penis caught in a vending machine is the kind of thing that brings a smile to your face. Originally introduced during the final season of “Jackass” on MTV, the Zisman character has been a mainstay ever since, sometimes paired with Jonze’s nonagenarian prostitute character Gloria for maximum eldercare chaos. In “Bad Grandpa,” Irving’s family is fleshed out to include a crack-addict daughter (Georgina Kates), who, on the verge of returning to prison, tasks Irving with transporting his 8-year-old grandson (Jackson Nicoll) to the boy’s deadbeat father (Greg Harris) in North Carolina. That’s the “plot” as far as it goes, which is really just a device for putting Knoxville and the
cherubic, foul-mouthed Nicoll (“The Fighter”) in a car together and letting them wreak their inspired havoc across state lines. A couple of the movie’s best and most outrageous payoffs come right up front, when Irving enlists a couple of unwitting furniture movers to help him load the corpse of the late Mrs. Zisman (Catherine Keener) into his car, then tries to circumvent the road trip by simply UPS-ing little Billy all the way to Raleigh. The m.o. of “Jackass” has always been the comedy of physical pain – a “Three Stooges” for the X-Games era – married to a kind of anarchic street theater. Knoxville and company delight at finding ways to make life veer off its neatly ordered path and in capturing the flummoxed reactions of those who bear witness. Here, they take an added glee in playing off social mores concerning children and the elderly – how they should be treated, and when they shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions (as when Irving and Billy eat their way through a mini-mart, then make a run for it). Even with Knoxville buried under layers of latex, his willingness to do anything for a laugh
is a gift that keeps on giving, whether he’s getting smashed between the jaws of a springloaded adjustable bed or hurled through a plate-glass window by a malfunctioning strip-mall kiddie ride. But the most talkedabout sequence from “Bad Grandpa” seems likely to be Irving’s impromptu bootie shaking (complete with low-hanging elastic scrotum) on the floor of an all-black male strip club. “Bad Grandpa” isn’t as sustained a piece of work as the earlier “Jackass” pics, and it can even seem tame in light of the more outrageous bits in “Borat” and “Bruno” – perhaps a sign that Knoxville et al. are ever so slightly maturing. Too much of the film gets bogged down in Irving making lewd passes at uninterested younger women (and one possibly interested drive-thru attendant), but even at its low ebb, the movie effuses an infectious, mischief-making joy. After spending most of the movie as the relative straight man, Nicoll proves himself every bit as fearless as his battle-scarred mentor during a drag-kiddie-pageant finale that’s like tobacco juice in the eye of “Little Miss Sunshine.”

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com
Unfortunately, we can’t escape our share of bad apples As we look to the start of the Winter Equestrian Festival season, it’s too bad that a few bad apples can leave such a sour taste. If you live in any of the equine communities of Palm Beach County, you can’t help but notice the rise of service trucks darting about our roads and plazas prepping the dormant farms. As the year-end national equestrian finals are finishing in the chilly northern climes, more commercial shipping companies are arriving in our area with the horses that thrill us each year during the Winter Equestrian Festival. And with the horses come the Huns and locusts – I mean seasonal residents. Ah yes, the people. Not all of them, but a frightening majority, in my opinion, just needs a good spanking and a lesson in decency and manners. Some of these gypsies bring with them an “entitlement” that, on one hand really ruffles my feathers. But on the other hand, their words and actions make for great column material. I do firmly believe that revenge is a dish best served cold. And right now, I’m serving-up a platter! In a two-week span, I have received six voice mails and texts – from the same person – asking about stall availability at our farm. And I haven’t returned a single one. You think she’d get the hint. Why haven’t I returned the communication? The inquiry is from the same person who stayed with us last year, who departed in whirlwind of drama and chaos, AND STILL OWES US MONEY! This dervish of spin-doctor was never on time with payment and twice handed me “rubber paper,” which I had to dribble all the way to her
obscure bank to cash – FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE – because I didn’t have an account there. At one point, this person said with a tone connoting all her worldly expertise, that on a daily basis I needed to “comb her horse’s grassy paddock with a fine-tined rake and remove any stones.” Well, the paddock measures 130 feet by 110 feet. Um, yeah … I’ll uh, get right on that. Every ounce of me wants to speak directly with her and say, “Even if we had empty stalls, your traveling mess of smoke and mirrors is more stress than I care to endeavor.” Truthfully, no benefit would come from that. However, since I know for whom, and where she works when in Wellington, I could file small claims papers for the money owed. A sheriff would serve notice and she would have to take a day off from work for court. What a delightful garnish to my revenge platter. Another character-type favorite is an email inquiry that started (and without a “hello”), “I need – blah, blah, blah. Tackingup service isn’t mandatory” (for non-horse folks tacking-up means preparing the horse to be ridden). The email ended with, “Can you accommodate me?” I’m sure the author of the email is a lovely person, but our facility and my attitude is not designed to “accommodate” in this fashion. I responded professionally and politely, in clear, plain English, that our stalls were full and wished her Godspeed in finding a suitable facility. Finished, right? I’ve received two more items of correspondence from this

same person. The last contained bold letters, notifying me of potential arrival dates. Maybe she got my email address mixed-up with someone else. And the “Criminal Award of 2012” goes to the people from New York who begged my farrier to shoe their two horses. They were showing on the weekend, it was Wednesday, and their farrier was nowhere to be found. So my farrier shoes the horses and received a check before she left the farm. The following week her bank calls and says
the customer put a stop payment on the check. When my farrier questioned the New York people, they said, “You did a crummy job on our horses so we aren’t going to pay you.” They didn’t call and ask her to fix whatever foot problems there might have been, but did have the unabashed nerve to show, get ribbons and think my farrier wouldn’t find out? The New York people left Florida the following week. However, the “local network” has these folks on a watch list, since my farrier wasn’t the only one stiffed for money. You can only execute bad behavior for so long before people unite and say no more.
Some will argue that turning people away or making them accountable for their debt creates revenue loss. Think about it: Haven’t you already lost the money, if you provide the service and then have to chase down your payment? Just a thought … 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.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WEST PALM BEACH
You’ll ‘fall’ for Saturday mornings in Downtown West Palm Beach By THE DOWNTOWN GAL Palms West Monthly
Is it just me, or does it seem that once Halloween is behind us, the holiday season is kicked into high gear? From scanning websites for early Black Friday deals to determining where you’re spending the holidays and making plans for visits from family and friends, you’re going to need a well-deserved respite. Don’t worry; I have just the solution for your much needed break that will have you falling for Downtown West Palm Beach again and again. The ever-popular West Palm Beach GreenMarket is back and better than ever! Now in its 19th season, the GreenMarket now has more than 105 vendors offering everything from fresh flowers and seafood, to artisan cheeses and delicious baked goods. (My personal favorite is the cider doughnuts. I always buy a cone-full of these freshly made, sinfully sweet bites with a hot cup of apple cider. It’s my own little version of heaven!) And how can you not love all the cute and cuddly dogs? Many people bring their fourlegged furry pals so the cuteness factor is at an all-time high. The pet-friendly GreenMarket is

KidSanctuary breaks ground on new home for foster kids It was a big day for the future of area foster children as KidSanctuary Campus broke ground on its new Dodero Cottage – the second home to foster kids on the KidSanctuary Campus. The cottage is named after major donors Lorraine and Bill Dodero who were on hand for the groundbreaking. “These are the most vulnerable children and to be able to provide a safe haven with round the clock, professional house parents who care and guide them in the right direction is such an honor,” said Lorraine Dodero. Each child who comes to KidSanctuary Campus has been in abandoned, abused and/or neglected situations. Many of them have been in several foster homes before coming to the campus. President and Founder Connie Frankino has made it her mission to complete the campus with four homes and an enrichment building. “Each home here is built with the generous donations of families, foundations and supporters who want to end the struggle that these children face every day. Here they will live a life that is safe, secure and happy,” said Frankino. The home is expected to open in the spring and will be decorated by a team of more than a

dozen top decorators, each contributing their time and talents to make the home an elegant sanctuary for the children. Each designer will be paired with a room or section of the home, both interior and exterior, to create their own personal design. The Second Annual KidSanctuary Hoe Down will take place March 22 at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach to honor the designers and raise more funds for the KidSanctuary Campus.

Thanksgiving reminds us of all the blessings we have This important national holiday is also a time to show compassion and reach out to those less fortunate. By MAYOR BOB MARGOLIS Exclusive to Palms West Monthly
This month we give thanks. We give thanks for our health, our jobs, our children and the love of our family and friends. This month I want to offer some
Thanksgiving safety tips, but first, I want to share another reason for why we should all be thankful. A year ago this month our country went through an election. As divisive as it got at times, after the votes were counted we never lost sight that we are

safety. Thanksgiving is the leading day for home cooking fires, with about three times as many cooking fires happening this day than any other. With that in mind, safety is incredibly important. Make sure your house has functioning smoke detectors. Keep a fire extinguisher no more than ten feet away from the stove, near the kitchen exit, and know how to use it. Don’t allow young children near cooking areas. Always keep a close watch on the food you’re cooking. Make sure that all flammable items are away from heat sources. Thanksgiving is one of the most important of all holidays, for it reminds us to remember the good in our lives. With how busy and stressful our days can be, it’s sometimes easy to forget. But let us not forget those who aren’t as fortunate, and let’s be thankful that we have the ability to help them in their time of need.

all one people – Americans. In the year since, we’ve had no shortage of topics to debate. Debating is healthy; it’s part of our American character. But I encourage everyone to never lose perspective. Look at the events happening around the world – in Egypt, Syria and so many other places. For all of our problems, for all of our in-fighting, it pales in comparison to these areas which are living in such painful, trying times. As we debate how to move forward, let us be thankful for the success and stability of our country. But that’s not enough. A successful society must also show compassion and generosity to its less fortunate members. I ask that you remember these fellow citizens and help them to have a wonderful holiday season. Whether it’s children whose parents can’t afford new clothes for school or struggling seniors in need of a good meal, there are many people out there who need your assistance and would be very grateful for it. Whatever you can donate will make a tremendous difference in their lives. Often times, even the smallest gesture of goodwill can mean the world to someone in need.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You can’t judge people even when they misbehave. Understanding why they act out would be easier if you knew how much they’ve suffered. Forgiveness and a little unconditional love will heal everything. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) Spiritual matters have caught your attention. Realizing that nothing you own has any true value, you’re searching out things that do. Let your instincts guide you toward what’s meaningful. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) Recent healings have reunited you with the ones you love. Coming into the situation on your own terms, you see that they have grown as much as you have. It’s pretty amazing that what was there has deepened over time. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You’re wondering why it’s so hard to get it together more than you’re wondering about what to do about it. Focus on the solution, not the problem. Dwelling on your confidence and failure issues isn’t helping. Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) Things are
going beautifully. Your life is set up to support anything you want to do. It’s never been this way before. If you’re wondering if you deserve this, we all do. Tune in to the idea that everyone deserves all this and more. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) You’re disappointments aren’t that horrendous. What didn’t work out wasn’t meant to go that way. You can hang on to this sob story or choose to see it as one of those things that had to happen to get you onto a better track. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) Getting what you want isn’t about conning people. A little sincerity goes a long way. Find a way to ask for what you need from an honest place. Whomever this is, respect them enough to be straight with them. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) Nobody said this would be easy. Don’t obsess about how unfair things seem to be. The other thing is you’re not trapped here. When things get tough hanging in there isn’t the only choice. You could just
as easily blow this clambake. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Whatever you thought was over is still there. On some level you’ve moved on, but elements of the past are so strong you’re wondering about closing that door. Don’t overthink this and don’t 86 anyone who’s still there because they love you. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) Chasing your tail is where it’s at right now. You want to make progress but too much is coming up for review to allow it. Nothing will move until you tie up loose ends. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) It must feel good to be in your shoes. When things go right be grateful. It’s time to focus on your work and bring what you love to the highest level of expression. Make hay, as they say. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) Try to see this for what it is. Sometimes things end, and it’s got nothing to do with us. If you feel rejected, get over it. Just because someone or something didn’t pan out, don’t start obsessing that there’s something wrong with you.

Outside the Neighborhood Kansas man is hit by train, gets up and walks away
TOPEKA, Kan. — Authorities say a Kansas man who was walking along railroad tracks wearing headphones was hit by a train that he didn’t hear approaching behind him – and that he got back up and kept walking. Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones says the BNSF conductor slowed down the train and blew the horn when he saw 25-year-old Kristopher Wenberg on the tracks in Topeka in mid–October. Wenberg told deputies he couldn’t hear the train, which eventually hit him. Jones says Wenberg promptly got back up and called someone on his cellphone as he walked away. He went to a hospital with cuts on his legs and shoulder. It is against the law to walk on train tracks and Wenberg was cited for criminal trespass.
Oregon bartender gets $17,500 tip
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — An Oregon bartender just got the tip of a lifetime. One of Aurora Kephart’s regulars at Conway’s Restaurant and Lounge in Springfield often tips her with Keno tickets from the Oregon Lottery. On Oct. 1, the man who wishes to remain anonymous asked Kephart to choose two. When she checked the numbers, Kephart’s first ticket won $5. The second turned into a $17,500 gratuity. “The look on his face was incredible,’’ Kephart, 25, told The Register-Guard newspaper. “I automatically handed it back to him; it was his ticket.” But the man wouldn’t take the ticket and made Kephart sign it so she would be the only one able to collect the prize. Kephart said 80 percent of
her customers are regulars, and they were excited for her. “The reaction was crazy,” Kephart said. “Everyone was so amped up.” With the bar busy, Kephart went right back to work, her brain “scrambled” by the big tip. The next day, she claimed her prize at the Oregon Lottery office in Salem. Kephart said she gave the man a percentage of her winnings. “I just couldn’t not give him some of it,” she said. Kephart said she plans to buy a new couch with her share and save the rest. Those modest plans earned her teasing from the bar’s regulars, but she had been looking for a couch and was scared off by the prices. “I never realized how expensive couches were,” she said. “Instead of waiting till Christmas or later, now I can buy something I really need.’’
‘Breaking Bad’ fans place Walter White obituary
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Some fans of “Breaking Bad,” the AMC series which recently concluded, were inspired to place an obituary for character Walter White in the Albuquerque Journal. The notice appeared in the Journal Oct. 4. It’s headlined “White, Walter” and includes a photo of Bryan Cranston, the actor who played the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin. The obituary says the 52-yearold “founded a meth manufacturing empire” and he died “after a long battle with lung cancer and a gunshot wound.” The five-season series was set and filmed in Albuquerque. Los Lunas science teacher David Layman, one of the members an unofficial fan group that placed the obit, says many are sad to see the show go. But he says the obit helps provide some closure.
New Jersey town’s Zombie walk a record-breaker
ASBURY PARK, N.J. — They play the undead. But that doesn’t mean people in a Jersey shore town aren’t competitive. Some 9,592 people in Asbury Park broke the Guinness World Records for the largest gathering of zombies in the city’s sixth annual Zombie Walk Oct. 5. The event had held the world record until it was broken by 8,027 zombies in Minneapolis last year. Guinness adjudicator Michael Empric tells the Asbury Park Press the costumes were amazing and most people went above and beyond.
Dog that crashed half marathon dies a week later
EVANSVILLE, Indiana — A dog that became an Internet sensation after crashing a half marathon in the U.S. has died just a week after receiving a medal for completing the race. The 100-pound chocolate Labrador retriever named Boogie ran most of the 13.1 miles in the Oct. 5 event in Midwestern Indiana state after escaping his leash the night before. Owner Jerry Butts made an appointment for the dog to be neutered after the race to curb his wandering ways. The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Boogie died in mid–October of an apparent heart attack. He was 10. Boogie finished the race in 2 hours, 15 minutes.
West Pa. man upset over $100 fee for road kill bear
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A western Pennsylvania man is upset that he had to pay $100 to claim the carcass of a bear he
killed with his truck — but the Pennsylvania Game Commission routinely charges fees for keeping road kill animals. Greg Thompson tells WPXITV he recently hit the bear on U.S. Route 119 in South Union Township, Fayette County. He was surprised to learn he’d have to pay $100 to keep the bear, from which he hopes to have a rug made. But Thompson’s experience isn’t unique, according to state wildlife regulations. Motorists must pay $10 per point to keep antlers from road kill deer, $25 to keep a deer cape, and $50 for a fox. Still, Thompson isn’t happy saying, “I shouldn’t have to pay a hundred bucks. They should have to pay my deductible.”
Two rescued after plane lodges in Indiana tree
INDIANAPOLIS — Two southern Indiana men whose ultralight plane crashed into a treetop and became wedged in limbs some 60 feet above the ground spent four uneasy hours trapped inside the unstable aircraft before rescuers lowered them to safety, authorities said. Neither pilot James Cutler, 65, nor his passenger, 59-year-old Richard Yahraus, was injured when the plane crashed Oct. 5, as it returned to the French Lick Airport, about 50 miles northwest of Louisville, Ky., for a landing. The two men had been pushed together, making their wait – and their efforts not to jar the plane – all the more uncomfortable as the sun set and night arrived, Milner said. “They were trying not to move at all. They were sitting as still as they could for four hours,” said Indiana
Conservation Officer Jeffrey Milner. “These guys are absolutely lucky to be alive.” He said the men owe their rescue to Indiana Conservation Officer Jim Hash, the coordinator of the state conservation agency’s Cave Rescue Team. Milner said Hash took his skills in using tethers and ropes into the treetop, where the men were marooned. Hash first secured the plane to the tree’s upper branches so that the unstable craft would no longer shift. He then attached harnesses and ropes to men, moving them one at a time to a bucket truck with a 60-foot boom. Milner said Yahraus, the plane’s passenger, had gone up in the aircraft with Cutler because he was considering buying the plane. “He was interested in buying the plane, but after four hours in a tree maybe he’s reconsidered,’’ Milner joked.
Gophers threaten Washington airport
YAKIMA, Wash. — Gophers are threatening the Yakima airport. The city council approved a $30,000 contract Tuesday with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to poison the burrowing rodents. The Yakima HeraldRepublic reports gophers have been tunneling near the runway at Yakima Air Terminal. Officials fear they could weaken the runway or create a problem if a plane rolls off the pavement. Gophers also could attract hawks, which could collide with planes.
