Princess for a day WEST PALM BEACH — A treasure hunt, face painting, crafts and dancing were the main attractions at the recently held “Princess and Pirate Ball” at the Lake Pavilion in downtown West Palm Beach. Kids Helping Kids, a program of The Center for Family Services, hosted this inaugural fund-raiser, which supports The Pat Reeves Village Shelter, an emergency shelter in West Palm Beach for homeless families with dependent children that’s staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Children of all ages dressed up as princesses and pirates and got to paint their very own Kids Helping Kids piggy banks. The organization encourages kids to earn treasure for the kids at The Pat Reeves Village. Christine’s Hope for Kids will match their gifts. Amie Swan and Abbie Beebe served as chairwomen of the event. For more information about Kids Helping Kids, go online to ctrfam.org.

THE ACREAGE — As a teenager, Robert Trepp loved going to fairs in his home state of Connecticut. “I remember the Apple Festival – everybody would come to it. “It was an event that the community looked forward to and we all had a good time. I thought it would be neat to do something like that here in The Acreage.” To that end, he organized The Acreage Fall Festival in 2008. Attracting about 4,000 people annually, it looks like others share his nostalgic feelings. “It’s the largest event west of 441,” he said. “And it’s growing. The first year we did this, we had five pit masters for our backyard rib cook-off. Last year, we had 34.” So, come join the fun at this year’s festival that takes place Saturday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at The Acreage Community Park. There’s a truck, car and bike show, as well as the backyard rib cookoff. There are free kids’ games, an outdoor computerized laser tag game course, bounce houses and two stages of entertainment, headlined by regional and local artists. According to Trepp, the festival keeps improving and it’s FALL FESTIVAL / PAGE 14
Turtle nesting season closes with record-breaking year Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach has documented 7,341 nests – a new record. By RANDALL P. LIEBERMAN Palms West Monthly
High nesting totals for sea turtles this season have given officials at two sea turtle monitoring stations in northern Palm Beach County hope that one day three species of sea turtles can come off the endangered species list. At John D. MacArthur Beach
State Park in North Palm Beach, park manager Don Bergeron said that – as of Oct. 17 – loggerhead sea turtles have laid a record 1,675 nests in their monitoring area, breaking the previous record of 1,308 set in 1995. The season officially comes to a close Oct. 31. Bergeron said leatherback
turtles are also having a recordbreaking season with 93 nests and green sea turtles are consistent with 227 nests. “We are thrilled with the numbers this season,” Bergeron said. “Two-thousand nests on 1.6 miles of beach is exciting and gives
us hope for the future. No one knows for certain why we are seeing an increase in our numbers, but we suspect that the conservation laws and regulations put in place 20 years ago are taking effect.” At Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, biologist Kelly J. Martin SEE TURTLES / PAGE 13

In Brief Area high school students gear up for Brain Bee Challenge
Area students can begin registering in mid-November for the Max Planck Florida Institute’s 2013 Brain Bee Challenge, to be held Feb. 9. This is the second year of the event, which brings together Palm Beach and Martin County students in grades 9-12 for a “different kind of brainstorm.” Similar in format to a spelling bee, the Brain Bee is an oral competition designed to test students’ knowledge of neuroscience through a series of questions on topics such as memory, intelligence, stress, emotions and brain disorders. Students can prepare for the competition, which includes a written portion, by studying the book “Brain Facts,” published by The Society of Neuroscience. The top three winners will be awarded a cash prize. The top local winner will win a trip to the National Brain Bee Competition in Baltimore, which takes place in March. Last year’s MPFI winner, 11th grader Ilya Katz of Suncoast Community High School attended the national competition and placed 10th out of 5,000 competitors across the country. For more information on the 2013 Brain Bee Challenge, go online to maxplanckflorida.org/ brainbee.html.
Calling all hikers to the 21st Annual Lake Okeechobee Hike
The Loxahatchee Chapter of the Florida Trail Association will hold its 21st annual Lake Okeechobee Hike during Thanksgiving Week, starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17 at Pahokee Marina. The total hike, for which there is no charge, is a nine-day, 110-mile trek. The hike is actually a series of one-day hikes and participants can join or leave the other hikers at any trail head around Lake Okeechobee, on the Herbert Hoover Dike, 35 feet above the surrounding countryside. The hike is believed to be the longest-running long distance hike in Florida. Popular hikes include the first day 3.5-mile “Wimp Walk” around Pahokee or the full-day, 12-mile walk to Port Mayaca. Hikers can choose to be shuttled back to the day’s starting
Walk, 967-3771. You may also send an email to Debbie Ellsworth, the local USTA 10 and Under Tennis coordinator, at ellsworth@florida.usta.com.
For those with poetic skill, this contest may present a thrill

USTA Free Tennis Play Day a huge success
Approximately 1,000 people descended on the Wellington Tennis Center Oct. 6, for the USTA Free Tennis Play Day, held in conjunction with Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play. With tacos from Tijuana Flats, frozen yogurt from TCBY and drinks supplied by Lowes and Publix, everyone had a great time eating and playing tennis. There was even appearances by SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer. The main attraction, however, was tennis activities and games on every court for all the kids to enjoy. Using the USTA 10 and Under Tennis format of play, each child could play using age-appropriate equipment. Lighter racquets, lower bouncing balls, shorter courts and lower nets enable children of all abilities to learn to rally

‘Cloud Atlas’ is laughably self-serious By CHRITSY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic
Maybe if you’re 20 years old and high in your dorm room with your friends, the platitudes presented in “Cloud Atlas” might seem profound. Anyone else in his or her right mind should recognize it for what it is: a bloated, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent slog through some notions that are really rather facile. Ooh, we’re all interconnected and our souls keep meeting up with each other over the centuries, regardless of race, gender or geography. We’re individual drops of water but we’re all part of the same ocean. That is deep, man. Perhaps it all worked better on the page. “Cloud Atlas” comes from the best-selling novel of the same name by David Mitchell which, in theory, might have seemed unfilmable, encompassing six stories over a span of 500 years and including some primitive dialogue in a far-away future. Sibling directors Lana and Andy Wachowski – who actually have come up with some original, provocative ideas of their own in the “Matrix” movies (well, at least the first one) – working with “Run Lola Run” director Tom Tykwer, have chopped up the various narratives and intercut between them out of order. The A-list actors who comprise the cast play multiple parts across the various stories and in elaborate makeup that’s often laughable. Tom Hanks is a scheming doctor on a voyage across the South Pacific in 1849, a trash-
talking novelist in present-day London and a peaceful goatherd who’s part of a post-apocalyptic tribe in the 2300s. Halle Berry is a composer’s white trophy wife in 1936 Scotland, an investigative reporter in 1973 San Francisco and a member of an elite society of prescients in the farthest future. Hugh Grant is often the least recognizable of all beneath layers of prosthetics and goop: at one point, he’s a vengeful old man; at another, he’s the raging leader of a band of cannibals. One easy rule of thumb: If you see Hugo Weaving, you know he’s a bad guy. Except for the story line in which he plays a woman, that is: an oppressive Nurse Ratched figure in a psychiatric hospital. Maybe the concept of transformation and of connectedness despite the physical vessels we occupy felt especially resonant for the transgender Lana Wachowski, formerly Larry Wachowski. But rather than serving as a satisfying, cohesive device, the multiple-parts strategy feels like a distracting gimmick. Instead of seamlessly melding with the film’s philosophy of continuity, it keeps you constantly wondering: “Who is that actor made up to look Asian? Who is that beneath the henna tattoos
Cloud Atlas
and macrame? Is that... Susan Sarandon?” It takes you out of the heart of the stories and holds you at arm’s length. “Cloud Atlas” is ambitious in its scope, for sure – edited fluidly and often wondrous to look at, but totally ineffective from an emotional perspective. As you’re watching it you may ponder as I did whether any of these six stories across disparate genres would be more compelling as its own, stand-alone film. Possibly the one set in pre-World War II, starring Ben Whishaw as an upand-coming composer who flees London when he’s exposed as a homosexual and goes to work for an aging musical master (Jim Broadbent), all the while writing letters to his lover (James D’Arcy) full of humor and longing. (This is one of the Tykwer segments, by the way. He also directed the tales set in 1973 and 2012, while the Wachowskis took on 1849, 2144 and the 24th century.) The most ridiculous is the one that takes place “After the Fall” in Hawaii in the mid-2300s. It requires Hanks and Berry to yammer at each other in a disjointed, stripped-down version of English that’s as indecipherable as it is laughable. Even more unintentionally hilarious is the sight of SEE MOVIE / PAGE 9

The book addresses the struggles and sexual abuse that young women slaves faced on the plantations, and how these struggles were harsher than what men went through as slaves.

Other upcoming performances include: The Nutcracker Friday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 “The Nutcracker” will be presented by Dance Alive National Ballet, featuring an international roster of award winning dancers.

NICE AND EASY by Ernie Zimmerman I ez@palmswestmonthly.com
When does the joy leave the joy of home ownership? After 26 years of warm family moments with Sharon and their kids and grandkids, Ernie now views his house as one big money pit. The house I currently live in has been my home for the past 26 years. There’s been many happy occasions in this house and, yes, even some sad times. Overall though, the house has been very good to us. Our house is only 26 years old. In New York it would still be considered new. Here in Florida, however, a 26-year-old house is considered old. It recently occurred to me that I’ve lived in this house longer then any other house I’ve ever called home. I’m still having a little trouble with that fact.
Lately, I’ve been learning more and more about the “joys of home ownership.” They say the two happiest days in the lives of a boat owner are the day he gets the boat and the day he sells it. I’m beginning to get that same feeling toward my house. Let me enlighten you. About two years ago my homeowners insurance company decided my house needed a new roof. I totally disagreed, feeling full well that our roof was in great shape. The insurance company responded by doubling the price of our insurance.

A couple weeks later my air conditioner decided to die. I have a two-zone house, so with one A/C unit working it really didn’t feel too bad inside. But, I did the right thing and decided to lay out the money for a new A/C unit. Thinking that would be the end of it, my A/C repairman proceeded convince me that I needed to replace both at the same time. Although the second unit seemed to be working just fine, he offered me such a “great deal” (according to him) on two new units that I couldn’t refuse. Shortly after that, tree roots in the front of my house started to force cracks in my driveway. So I went and got a tree removal permit and removed the guilty trees. This latest project seemed to be going smoothly until three water pipes broke – including the main water pipe – during the tree removal process. Lucky for me the tree removal guy was also an excellent plumber. The pipes were fixed with in minutes, thus saving me more money, more importantly, from almost having a heart attack. I replaced the area where the trees once stood with sod. Thinking that would be the end of it, another problem
popped up from where the new sod was laid. Some sort of weed that I’ve never seen before decided to take root on my lawn. At first I wasn’t overly concerned as my lawn service company says they specialize in weed removal. To this day, they haven’t been able to fully remove the new weeds. In fact, some parts of our lawn seem to have more weeds then grass. Now, everyone is telling me the lawn is too old at 26 years. Who knew that grass aged? This past summer, our house continued to show its age, this time in our swimming pool. All summer the water in our pool seemed to be disappearing. Even with all the rain we had been getting, the water level seemed to be dropping. It turns out I have a leak in my pool. Funny, I didn’t even know pools could get leaks. I now know better. Another major incident at the Zimmerman house took place when Tropical Storm Isaac paid us a visit a few months back. Seems that water started to come up from the foundation of my home into one of our bedrooms. Not a lot, but enough to almost drive Sharon and me out of our minds. It took a week to dry out the rug, but I’ve been assured by “experts” it’s not an on-going problem, just too much water
with nowhere for it to go. These supposed experts told me this sort of thing shouldn’t happen again for at least 100 years. (I’d like to stick around long enough to see if they’re right.) And of course, a small roof leak was also left by Isaac. However, I was assured by my roofer that my roof is in great shape and I don’t need a new one. And just in the last month two more things happened – one of my toilets decide to drip water non-stop, and the shelves in Sharon’s closet decide that my wife had too many pieces of clothing hanging on them, so the shelves all on their own came tumbling down, in the process breaking the closet door. With all these “joys of home ownership” piling up, I’m starting to wonder if renting is better than owning. If any readers out there want to share your experiences of home ownership, drop me an email at ez@palmswestmonthly.com. 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.

COMMUNITY ROUND-UP / WELLINGTON From the Mayor Eat Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, Join us Veterans Day help fund breast cancer research for parade, ceremony By RANDALL P. LIEBERMAN Palms West Monthly
What could be easier than helping raise money for breast cancer research while at the same time enjoying some of the finest pizza in the area? A group of residents from Wycliffe Golf and Country Club and the Wellington location of Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza have partnered to raise money for Play for P.I.N.K., a national fund-raising organization that has raised more than $25 million since 1996 for breast cancer research. Beginning Oct. 22 and continuing for the next three consecutive Mondays – Oct. 29, Nov. 5 and Nov. 12 – Anthony’s will donate 20 percent of receipts from diners who present a special coupon for dine-in and take-out orders between 5 and 10 p.m. to Play for P.I.N.K. But Wycliffe residents haven’t stopped there. They are also asking for the support from the local community. Anyone who cuts out this article and submits it to Anthony’s on the above dates will also have 20 percent of their total bill donated to the cause. The fund-raiser is in honor of
David Hamburger, a Wycliffe resident who passed away in August. Hamburger, whose daughter-inlaw Stephanie Hamburger is Play for P.I.N.K.’s national executive director, was a big supporter of the organization. “When David died we suggested to our players and sponsors of our stickball league to make a donation to Play for P.I.N.K.,” said Marty Ross, a Wycliffe resident, better known as the “Commish” of the Wycliffe Stiffs Stickball League. “David was our stickball league’s director of announcers and scorekeepers and we wanted to do something in his honor,” said Ross. “Anthony’s general manager Adam Yazinka met David a couple times and wanted to do something as a tribute to him. It’s a story about business and charity partnering for progress and research.” According to its website, Play for P.I.N.K. funds 13 research projects led by 19 of the world’s most advanced and groundbreaking breast cancer researchers.

The Village of Wellington has joined forces with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to promote Neighborhood Watch programs throughout the community. “Neighborhood Watch is an excellent mechanism to prevent crime and raise safety awareness,” said Captain Jay Hart, PBC Sheriff’s Office District 8 Commander. “Not only are you discouraging criminals from preying on your community, it’s also an excellent opportunity
to unite neighbors and improve everyone’s quality of life.” The Neighborhood Watch program was founded in 1972 by the National Sheriffs’ Association to help law enforcement officers reduce crime by utilizing the eyes and ears of the community. For more information about beginning a Neighborhood Watch group in your area, contact Wellington’s Safe Neighborhoods Office at (561) 791-4796.

Twenty-three million living Americans have served our country under arms. Hundreds of veterans live right here in Wellington, and two of them serve on our Village Council, Vice Mayor Howard Coates (U.S. Marine Corps) and Councilman Matt Willhite (U.S. Navy). Others serve our community on Wellington’s boards and committees. As Wellington prepares to celebrate Veterans Day, we must be ever mindful that the freedoms we enjoy depend on the courage and discipline of those in uniform. The Village of Wellington and the American Legion Chris Reyka Memorial Wellington Post 390 will honor all current and former members of the armed forces on Sunday, November 11th at our annual Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony. It starts at 8:15 a.m. with a procession from the Village Hall, located at 12300 Forest Hill Blvd., and will be followed by a ceremony at 8:30 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial, located on the corner of Forest Hill Boulevard and South Shore Boulevard. If you are an active or retired veteran attending the ceremony, I would like to
(561) 422-2100
10200 Fox Trail Road S. • Royal Palm Beach
personally thank you for your service and invite you to join us as we honor you and your fellow service men and women. You will have an opportunity to register the morning of the event at the Wellington tent and your name will be recognized during the ceremony. I ask everyone to attend our annual Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony as a testament of their support to all those who never came home to family and friends, their dreams and all life’s possibilities never to be realized. Honor the living veterans who march and honor those veterans who have paid the ultimate price. I believe your presence will speak volumes to the families who have lost their loved ones. I hope you can join us on Veterans Day as we salute our brave men and women. If you get the chance, shake the hand of someone who’s served. Only two words are really necessary: “Thank You.”

MANELY SPEAKING by Laura Danowski I laura@palmswestmonthly.com
Through good and bad, equestrian folk band together Thanks to concerned residents and an online message board, a family was reunited with their lost dog after a four-day scare. For those who don’t know Six Steps to Kevin Bacon, it was an association game played among movie buffs. One player would say an actor’s name – for example, Sean Connery. The challenger would name another actor or actress who was in a film with Sean Connery (Kevin Costner in “Robin Hood”). Play continues until the sixth or less associated name was Kevin Bacon. Lots of fun, especially when alcohol and money was added and bragging rights were at stake. The association and reference chain is strong within the equestrian community as well, especially when an animal’s life is in danger. The Sunday after Isaac found many of us doing some sort of clean-up, immersed in our own world and thoughts. Outside, sweating to the oldies with gloved hands and rubber boots, my cellphone rang. Should I answer? I was on a roll. The name appeared on my caller ID. Jane and I bowl together in Greenacres and she lives in Lantana. We had just seen each other the previous Friday and our usual communication is text. If she calls, there’s a problem. “Hi Laura, how close do you live to Mandarin and Tangerine?” “Uh, maybe 10 miles.”
Isaac had small impact on turtle nesting season TURTLES / FROM PAGE 1
said that as of Oct. 23, loggerhead sea turtles have laid 6,485 nests, the second highest total since the center has started monitoring Juno Beach in 1990. Martin said the other species also have relatively-high numbers, with leatherback turtles laying 189 nests and green sea turtles laying 667 nests. “Loggerhead Marinelife Center biologists have monitored six miles of beach in northern Palm Beach County since 1990,” said Martin. “Juno Beach is one of the most important nesting beaches for loggerhead, leatherback and green sea turtles. During the 2012 season, so far we have documented 7,341 nests, breaking a record set in 1995.” The record numbers are in spite of losses suffered due to Tropical Storm Isaac. “We estimate that we lost four percent of the total number of nests due to Tropical Storm Isaac,” Bergeron said. “But, our beach held up well, and the health of the plants and keeping the wrack line in place added stability to the beach.” Nesting and weather is only half the battle for sea turtles. Only one in 1,000 hatchlings reaches reproductive maturity. Despite education and new regulations, the greatest threat to the turtles is still incidental capture in fishing gear and egg harvesting by humans.
“Where is Clydesdale in relation to you?” “Maybe five miles west.” “Barbara just got a call from a lady out there whose older dog went missing about 4 a.m. this morning.” Our friend Barbara is very active in placing greyhounds as well as other service dogs after their work careers are finished. Barbara also lives in Lantana. The missing dog was in his mid-teens, fairly deaf and blind. He and his family had moved two weeks earlier from Deer Run to the Acreage. His owner Louise let him out early that morning and Hayes found an exit in his fence. The fear was the old hound had become disoriented and was trying to make his way back to his former home. Jane was trying to help Barbara organize a search network to locate Hayes. Neither Jane nor Barbara are horse-people, so I told them about the Wellington message board. “Horse people scan this thing like “The Enquirer” or “People” magazine. There is a specific section for lost & found animals and we all read it,” I said. So we formulated a message with contact info and prayed. About an hour after returning to my feudal yard labors I
thought about sending a text to some friends who live and work in Loxahatchee and The Acreage. Route drivers, vendors and especially kids hoofing to and from school and the bus stop might see the dog. “I’ll do it later when I break for lunch.” About 15 seconds of selfinduced guilt got me to stop work, slog out of my puddled area, set down tools, remove gloves and start tapping my phone screen. I sent a short text to 12 friends, asking them to share as appropriate. Tuesday morning arrived and Jane reported the post had received 130 hits, prompted a few phone calls but still no Hayes. A few minutes later I received a text from The British Feed Company, thanking me for my help and kindness in trying to locate Hayes. What? Stunned as to why I would receive a text from them, the pieces fell together. Hayes’ mom – Louise – is the same woman I speak to weekly when ordering hay from British Feed! Their cell number was one of the contacts to whom I sent the text on Sunday about the lost dog. So I called Louise and we chatted. I felt like a dolt for not making the name connection.
Louise shared the details of the family’s recent move and Hayes’ adjustment to his new home. He had never been problematic but was described as an opportunist. I wished her well. The opportunity to ease a furry loved-one into the afterlife is, in my opinion, a gift. To lose one without knowing or saying goodbye is torture. Honestly, two more days came and went. I had moved Hayes and Louise to the back of my mind until another text from Jane on Thursday. Hayes was home! He was spotted in White Fences, a few pounds lighter but no worse for wear. The message board had generated over 200 hits and almost two-doz-
en phone calls, leading to Hayes. Well, Hayes is not an actor, nor could we ever string the names associated in his happy return. However, Hayes’ Footloose adventure is an award-winning reminder of how just a little bit of being a good neighbor connects us for the better. 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.

Acreage Fall Fest features diverse line-up of local talent FALL FESTIVAL / FROM PAGE 1
affordable too. “I live out here and I’m always asking people what they like and don’t like about the festival. This year, because someone suggested it, we are bringing in helicopter rides. We didn’t do that before. “At the end of the day, the fair brings the community together at an affordable price, so that the family can come out and enjoy the whole day and not break the bank to do it,” Trepp said. “Our beer is $5, soda is $3 and water is $2. We have a field of bounce houses and the kids love them. We don’t charge for them, so the kids aren’t nagging mom and dad for money.” Because there’s no charge to re-enter, many parents spend the day with the young kids, take them home to a sitter, and then return to enjoy the headline acts in the evening, he said. “We always bring in different acts for the stages. The festival has a diverse line-up of entertainment covering country, rock and pop, which is great for the bands because they get a chance to make new fans and it’s great for our guests as well.” The All Star Stage will showcase local talent all day long. Trepp says he
envisions the day when someone who started out on the All Star stage opens for the headline act. Shay Marie, a teenage country singer who got her start on the All Star Stage and performed with her band on the main stage at last year’s event, has now spent quite a bit of time in Nashville, so she might be the one to do it first. In addition to the “Best Ribs” $500 cash prize, there’s a prize for best-decorated booth. There’s still space in the pit area for those who know the best barbecue comes from their own grills. The Acreage Fall Festival keeps the community in the heart of the festival as well. Walgreens on Seminole Pratt Whitney Road has provided advertising and in-kind donations. Area non-profits are welcome to set up a free booth at the festival to promote their causes. And the festival itself provides a portion of its proceeds to various non-profits. For more information about the Acreage Fall Festival or to inquire about a booth, go online to acreagefallfest.com. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids ages 4 to 10. Children 3 and under and active duty military are admitted free. The Acreage Community Park is located at 6701 140th Ave. in Loxahatchee.

Outside the Neighborhood Falling chicken parts probed in Virginia
ACCOMAC, Va. — Virginia authorities are asking a vertical version of the question, why did the chicken cross the road? Investigators are looking into a report that a piece of uncooked poultry fell from the sky and plunked a teenager on the head. A state Department of Environmental Quality spokesman said the investigation will likely focus on the possibility the chicken was plucked from an improperly maintained compost pile. Avian expert Bryan D. Watts tells The Daily Times the chicken part likely fell from the beak of a seagull. Cassie Bernard was horseback riding in mid-October on Virginia’s Eastern Shore when the 1-foot piece of processed chicken hit her on the head. Other riders saw several more poultry parts fall from the sky. Bernard was wearing a helmet and was not injured.
Tenn. man charged with egging wife
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Police in Clarksville say a woman got an unwelcome surprise while waiting to pick her son up at the bus stop – an egg to the head. The Leaf-Chronicle reported that the woman was waiting to pick up the boy when her exhusband, 38-year-old Michael McKelvey of Clarksville, lobbed an egg at her in a dispute over where the woman parked. McKelvey told officers he warned his ex-wife not to park in front of his apartment when she picked up the child, so he threw an egg at her car. Police say the egg struck the woman and spilled on to the child. McKelvey was taken into custody for domestic assault. Bond was set at $500.
Two Wisconsin communities battle over bratwurst
PRESCOTT, Wis. — Two western Wisconsin communities are disputing who gets bragging rights to the biggest bratwurst. The conflict started after
recent accounts of Prescott’s world-record-setting bratwurst, which was 52 feet, 2 inches. A local grocery store grilled it for its centennial and then put it in an equally as long bun. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports some in Dallas, Wis. heard about it and got steamed. They’ve grilled big bratwursts the last four years for Oktoberfest and this year’s was 135 feet long. But Dallas didn’t get the official record because they didn’t use a bun and didn’t pay the $1,900 fee to the World Record Academy in Florida. Dallas-based Valkyrie Brewing Co. notes on its website that all the brats they’ve grilled since 2009 are longer than Prescott’s.
Diaper odor gets mom, baby kicked off Seattle bus SEATTLE — A woman is complaining to Metro Transit that a driver kicked her off a bus in Seattle because of her baby’s stinky diaper. Nichole Hakimian was taking her 1-year-old son to a clinic because of an intestinal illness, KOMO News reported. “He had just pooped in his diaper as soon as I got on, because he was having diarrhea,” she said. “And right after that, she told me I had to get off the bus.’’ When Hakimian asked why she said the driver said, “Your baby, he smells really bad, and it’s not fair that we all have to smell that.” “I said, ‘My son is sick. I’m taking him to a doctor’s appointment.’” Nonetheless, the driver stopped the bus and let her out about a half mile from the clinic, she said. Hakimian, who is four months pregnant, found a nearby place to
change the diaper. She caught another bus to the clinic and learned her baby was suffering from a stomach bug. She complained to Metro, and the King County transit agency is investigating. “Based on reports, this appears to be a very unique situation. Our goal is always to balance the comfort of all of our riders with providing good customer service. We are investigating the complaint, and will get a report from the driver to confirm what happened and that proper procedures were followed,” spokesman Jeff Switzer said in a statement to KOMO.
Mich. ‘Batman’ says he has good intentions
The bus ride made her feel sick too, said Hakimian. “I feel like I was being discriminated against and bullied. And it made me feel like crap. It really did,” she said.
Giant pumpkin contest winner going to Disneyland HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — A grower from Oregon has won a local giant pumpkin contest
with a gourd weighing in at 1,775 pounds. Forty-five-year-old Thad Starr from Pleasant Hill, Oregon, set a Half Moon Bay contest record with his pumpkin in early October, beating last year’s winner by 71 pounds. Starr, who has won the contest twice before, said he plans to use the $10,650 in prize money to take his family to Disneyland. The runner-up came in at 1,521 pounds.
7101 S. Dixie Hwy., West Palm Beach
PETOSKEY, Michigan — A man is facing charges for his effort to keep an eye on his community while wearing a Batman outfit. Mark Wayne Williams tells the Petoskey NewsReview that dressing in costume is his way of saying “it’s not up to the government to save us.” State troopers arrested the 33-year-old Sept. 29 because they say he refused to leave them alone while they searched for a driver who fled an accident. Williams was charged with resisting and obstructing police in an investigation. It’s not Williams’ first brush with the law as the caped crusader. He was arrested last year after police received a report of a man dressed as Batman on the roof of a Petoskey business.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) Others are not quite as happy about things as you are. Never underestimate the power of the unspoken word. Make sure you know exactly how they feel about this or you’ll wind up being very disappointed. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) You’ve become the center of things at a critical time. You don’t want to make all the decisions but you have no choice. Do what you have to, but don’t be surprised when others have a problem with it. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You can’t tell what’s up with people. Part of you hopes they’ll let you handle things. At the same time, you know you need them. If you can remember what’s important it’ll be easier to work together. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Everyone wonders what you’ll do next. Don’t base any decision on what you think other people need from you. Having the courage to do what’s right for you will be good for them, too.
Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) Don’t get too obsessive about people who seem like they’re the answer to your prayers. Seeing what you want to see is your biggest pitfall. If you have doubts, trust your instincts. Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) Recent upsets will force you to redefine everything. If you thought you knew what you were doing, it’s all about to change. Get ready for life to move you in a new direction. Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) It’s time to enjoy life instead of fretting over it. Nothing grows out of worry. It’s clear how much you want this. Back off and let life unfold naturally. You’ll soon see that your little fantasy is worth the time and effort. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) The distance factor has actually improved things in your relationship. Both of you have developed new interests and connections. Leaving your comfort zone has brought you closer and made things more exciting. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Recent trips outside the box have
shown you how much you’ve held yourself back. The desire to grow will take you far. Others who are close to you haven’t had the same epiphany. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Give everyone time to prove that they have something real to offer. You’ve gone through too much to get taken for one more ride. You need to be sure that whomever comes around actually deserves you. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) If you’ve avoided dealing with your relationship issues, they haven’t disappeared. Others aren’t ready to change their ways. Neither one of you is ready to discuss this. It isn’t time yet, so call a truce for now and save it for later. Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) This recent trip to the pits has revealed so much. The harsh realization that no one is ever there for you has underscored the need to be there for yourself. As you get better at this, as strange as it sounds, others will support you 100 percent.
