BOCA RATON - The a-verage teenager today is viewed in public as the type of person that only cares about their own well-being. They are too caught up in their high school world, their high school drama, what their Facebook or Twitter sta-tus says, or what is the latest iPhone and when it’s coming out. But for students at Olym-pic Heights High School, that did not look to be the

BALD IS BEAUTIFUL case on January 27. Stu-dents took a break from the “me” and thought about the “we” - at least for one day. Olympic Heights held their sev-enth annual St. Baldrick’s celebration to raise mo-ney for children’s cancer research by having their hair shaved off. “People say that kids aren’t concerned about their community. That’s a lie. I can think of 1,200 kids that would say o-therwise” said Olympic Heights principal Frank Continued on page 16

Rodriguez. The 1,200 kids Principal Rodriguez talked about are the kids inside his packed school gymnasium. St. Baldrick’s is an orga-nization whose volun-teers shave their heads in solidarity with kids fighting cancer - and fa-mily and friends give generously. The St. Bal-drick’s Foundation uses the donations to fund more in childhood can-cer research grants than any organization except

“The wise in heart accept commands, but a chatte-ring fool comes to ruin.” Prov.10:4

In 1880, James Garfield became the only sitting member of the House and the only clergyman to become president. But it was weird. That year, the Republicans were torn by the rivalry between two has-beens: former presi-dent Ulysses Grant and former candidate James Blaine. On the 36th bal-lot, everybody gave up and picked Garfield, who ended up getting shot to death by a disgruntled Grant supporter.In the Godfather movies, what fruit often shows up when somebody is about to die?A) AppleB) GrapeC) OrangeD) Strawberry

BOCA RATON - Are you ready for some football?The Fighting Owls of Flor-ida Atlantic University are. In fact, for nearly a dozen years, they have longed to play home games on Boca Raton turf.They’ll get that wish in October when the new 30,000-seat stadium on the Boca Raton campus will be complete.Thomas Donaudy, uni-versity architect and vice president for facilities, said Tuesday that the doors of the massive building will be opened to the public on Oct. 15 - in time for the 2011 football season.Since it was formed in 1999, the FAU football team has played its home games either in Miami or at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.Donaudy told the Federa-tion of Boca Raton Home-owners Association about the stadium, then fielded about a half-hour of ques-tions about how the arena will affect traffic - par-ticularly on Glades Road, considered one of the most glutted in the county.“We anticipated 12,000 parking spaces” for the stadium. At least initially, he said, home crowds will probably not fill the grid-iron complex, but “we hope to build that figure.”The FAU architect said Glades Road traffic is at its worst from Monday through Friday, but is not as bad on Saturday when most games will be played.He said the university will play six home games this

coming fall, but is allowed by the city to conduct a to-tal of 15 ticketed events in the stadium - including the football games. On-cam-pus, non-ticketed events like athletic practices and band rehearsals don’t count against that 15.Some in the crowd ex-pressed concerns about the impact on traffic, and several also questioned the concept of two new entrances to the campus. Donaudy pointed out on a master plan map that the entries are only in the pro-posal stage.City Councilwoman Con-stance Scott spoke highly of the new on-campus sta-dium, even with six home games. “Think of the ex-citement, and the impact on the economy. I have lived in a college town, Ann Ar-bor. The traffic comes in, the traffic goes out. People will get accustomed to the schedule” of events.The audience was also con-cerned about the impact of the new interchange for I-95. Donaudy said traf-fic will enter and exit via

Spanish River Boulevard, and not the campus itself. It will help relieve the glut of students entering and leaving the campus, but he said FAU is also working with Palm Tran and shuttle services to improve tran-sit. During football games, he said, Palm Beach State College has also agreed to allow two-thirds of its park-ing lot on its Boca campus to be used for football park-ing.Features of the 30,000-seat stadium include: 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, a four-level press box,1,000+ out-door premier club seats; 4,000+ priority club seats, an air-conditioned, indoor 8,000-square-foot premier club that can be accessed by suite, loge and premier club seat holders; a cov-ered, 16,000-square-foot outdoor priority club locat-ed between the premier and priority club levels that can be accessed by suite, loge, premier and priority club seat holders; wider pre-mium seats and a student-and-band-only section in the south end zone.

Thomas Donaudy, university architect and vice president for fa-cilities for Florida Atlantic University, discusses the new stadi-um with members of the Federation of Boca Raton Homeowner

Associations.

BOCA RATON - A West Boca Raton woman who has allegedly been injecting clients with Botox, but reportedly has no license, has been arrested following the hospitaliza-tion of one of her patients, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.The suspect, identified as Nora Patricia Hidalgo, 56, was recently arrested and charged with practicing without a license resulting in bodily injury and with possession with intent to sell drugs without a prescription.PBSO said she allegedly received the drug from friends who had visited other coun-tries. They claim Hidalgo also went to other states to do Botox injections.The arrest follows an investigation that began last November when a sheriff’s detective and an investigator from the Florida Department of Health, posing as potential clients, consulted with Hidalgo, who quoted treatments and prices, a PBSO report said.A woman from Miami recently notified PBSO when her face began to swell after re-ceiving an injection from Hidalgo.The suspect was reportedly giving the injections in her condo, which the PBSO report said had an examination room, certificates on the walls and medical supplies.Hidalgo was reportedly offering injections at a cost of $300 each, PBSO said.

The 25th anniversary of the horrible explosion that tore apart the space shuttle Challenger and killed seven brave souls caught me by surprise.It wasn’t something I antici-pated. Yet that terrible date, Jan. 28, had been burned into my memory since the day it happened in 1986.I remember the phone call from my managing edi-tor, good friend and fellow space aficionado Randy Szy-ba telling me to get into work right away. A space shuttle had blown up on launch from Cape Canaveral. He had seen it live on one of the TV news networks, one of the few at the time that was covering shuttle launches.Yes, at the time, we were in a space lull. Shuttle launch-es were becoming second nature, and they barely ma-de news at all.This mission, however, was special. On board was the first “Teacher in Space,” a curly-haired brunette named Christa Corrigan McAuliffe. She taught in nearby New Hampshire, but we Bay Staters knew that she and her family were from Fram-ingham, Mass.Teachers in many schools

Will we continue to explore the ‘final frontier?’

throughout New England had geared lesson plans to the event, and were watch-ing TV in their classrooms to experience a moment they hoped would broaden their understanding of space travel and the ramifications it had on their own lives - on technology and information we would not have had un-less we explored the stars. Instead, these youngsters endured the moment 73 seconds after liftoff when the bright, shiny shuttle and its even-larger external fuel tank were engulfed in a ball of smoke - with odd arm-like projections going off in several directions.The people on the ground looked up quizzically, won-dering why they could no longer see the shuttle. Chris-ta’s family was there. And then came a cold, cruel voice over the loud speaker saying, “We have lost our downlink.” In other words, there was no radio contact. Challenger was gone.On the TV screen flashed pre-launch pictures of the crew - of their flight train-ing and exercise program. There was that unforgettable and gut-wrenching foot-age of the crew heading for

the ship, smiling and waving at the crowd. On board the shuttle (STS-51L) that day were Commander Dick Scobee; pilot Michael J. Smith; mission specialists Judith Resnik, Elli-son Onizuka and Ron McNair; and payload specialists Gregory Jarvis and McAu-liffe. The mission was the 25th operational flight of the space shuttle and the 10th for Challenger.I will never forget those faces.That night, President Rea-gan offered a speech to com-fort and reassure a shaken nation. “We’ve never lost an astronaut in flight,” he said. But my mind flashed back to that previous space program tragedy - the day in early 1967 when Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were killed in a flash fire that consumed their capsule on a launch pad.Lately, I’ve talked to people here in Florida who actually saw the plumes of smoke that enveloped Challenger. “We knew something was wrong,” said one.

Many programs and memo-rial services have been held this past week to honor the member and legacy of Chal-lenger. But will that lega-cy survive. It appears the space program is winding down, with only three more shuttle missions left. Then what? There doesn’t seem to much “fire in the belly” to continue to explore what Star Trek Captains James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard and Jonathan Archer called “the final frontier.”If there is a legacy, it should be the one put forward by President John F. Kennedy, who promised we would put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s - and we did it. We should not mourn for Christa McAuliffe and the others who gave their lives in the pursuit of space ex-ploration. We should con-tinue their journey.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

Failures are made, not born! They’re often the result of allowing all kinds of nega-tive whispers to weaken the confidence you’ve already received via talents, gifts and passion for achieving specific endeavors! Yet, whenever you feel re-sponsible for any failure, your first thought should be that it need not be perma-nent. Quite often, a failure is simply a prelude to suc-cess! Or, as Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer entitled one of his books, “Failure – The Back Door to Success.” Indeed, any failure which occurs amidst one’s trying hard is simply another step to-wards eventual triumph!No individual, consciously, ever plans to be a failure, but the choices some per-sons make can only lead them there or, at its best, to a mediocre accomplish-ment unless proper repa-rations are swiftly made. But, as it has been wisely pointed out, “failures and mistakes can be a bridge, not a barricade, to success.”Some fail in school be-

You Need Not Be a Failure!cause they choose not to assume the responsibility of study and homework be-yond what is taken in class. Their neglect and procras-tination catch up with them and they end up missing altogether what otherwise could be the best for them!Others never make it in the labor force because for them having fun takes precedence over the faith-ful discharge of their daily duties. Too much partying makes them too tired or too sick to get to work on time, or forces them to miss days of labor, or to arrive at the location of employment unable to perform their as-signment. To paraphrase the words of a well-known Psalm, partying may persist all night, but accountability awaits you in the morning!People should approach their responsibilities and toils with confidence, in spite of whatever difficul-ties they may encounter along the way. Some people will definitely fail through inaction; others will fail on account of wrong action; a

few more will fail due to personal, paralyzing hesi-tation. A good perspective from Abraham Lincoln, challenges: “Whatever you are, be a good one.” Human failures are preventable!Any performance is, from the outset, an act of faith. For that reason, never put any limitations on yourself; simply recognize the re-sources God has bestowed on you to reach your full potential. Yet, if any fail-ure occurs, make every ef-fort to transcend it, to move beyond where you may find yourself stuck! In the words of John L. Mason, “we attain only in propor-tion to what we attempt.” For many years I had car-ried with me a card with the words: “I’d rather attempt to do something great and fail, than to attempt to do nothing and succeed!” I may have lost the card but not the challenge it poses. Victory is the inevitable outcome when dedication to a task and persistence to-ward its realization prevail!

As you will read on page 11 of this edition of the Boca Raton Tribune, Mayor Su-san Whelchel and members of the five Rotary Clubs in Boca Raton are working on a project that will encour-age young people to help “greenify” the city.I’ve never heard the word ‘greenify’ before, but it de-scribes what the mayor and the Rotaries want to do.As explained by Dave Freudenberg, former presi-dent of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton and now the assistant district governor, the mayor has issued her “Green Cup Challenge.” She wants school-age groups to band together, identify a specific project to help “greenify” the city (that’s Dave’s word), and then complete it by the end of May.The projects will be judged by the mayor and Rotary presidents and the winners will share in the $1,000 prize being put up by the Rotaries.This is all happening in the springtime, which seems to be the appropriate time for spreading green.Watch the Tribune for more information on these activi-ties.

Who’s planning to run?Feb. 2 was the first day for residents to declare their candidacy for office in the

‘Greenify’ may not be a word, but it certainly is a good idea

March 8 city election in Boca Raton.So far, only the incumbents have filed the appropriate documentation to seek an-other term in office - May-or Susan Whelchel, Deputy Mayor and Councilwoman Susan Haynie and Council-man Mike Mullaugh.City Clerk Susan Saxton said that if no one files to oppose any of the candi-dates, there will be no elec-tion - and the incumbents will win by default.But Haynie, at the Fed-eration of Boca Raton Homeowners Associations meeting Tuesday, said that someone - we’re not sure who - recently took a can-didate package from the city clerk’s office. It could mean that there will be some action in the political arena this year.Anyone planning to run must file their documents by 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10. It may be a few days before we know which non-incumbent is eying po-litical office.

We offer our condolencesThose of us at the Boca Raton Tribune join with other mourners to offer condolences to the family of Dr. P. David Nicholas, the founder pastor of Span-ish River Church, who died Jan. 25 at the age of 79.

The minister helped cre-ate a church out of an old storefront, and then moved into a beautiful campus on Yamato Road. There is both a church and a school there.But Dr. Nicholas did more than just run the church. He was known as a “plant-er,” planting similar houses of worship in various cities around the nation. He is said to have planted about 200 in all.He was truly a man of God, as his former congregation will attest. Our sympathy goes out to his wife, Eleanor, their three sons and their grand-children. We know his legacy will be honored for years to come.

Keep track of what’s go-ing onA woman recently asked the Boca Raton City Coun-cil to post a list of city events on Channel 20, the Boca cable channel.That’s not a bad idea. But we have a better one. If you have an event, send it to us at the Boca Raton Tri-bune. We will list it in the print product and also on-line. After all, we are your closest neighbor.Send your information to: [email protected].

BOCA RATON – Mayor Susan Whelchel has long been a fan of the color green – particularly as it ap-plies to environmental sus-tainability.The five Rotary Clubs in Boca Raton are banding together with the city’s chief executive to lunch the “Mayor’s Green Cup Chal-lenge” later this year.‘The general idea is to is-sue the Challenge to any school-age group that can band together, identify a specific project to help

Mayor Whelchel, Boca Rotaries looking for groups to help ‘greenify’ the community

“greenify” Boca Raton, register the project with Ro-tary - including before pho-tos - complete the project in the month of May, and at the end the projects will be judged by the Mayor and the five Rotary presidents,” said Dave Freudenberg, himself the former presi-dent of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton and now assis-tant district governor. “The winners will share in the $1,000 prize put up by the Rotary Clubs to be presented to them by the

mayor at a City Council meeting.”The groups will be made up of local school children kindergarten through grade 12. “They can be classes, social groups (Scouts, etc), sports teams or any other assembly,” said Freuden-berg. “But they must have a connection with Boca Raton or at least have a Boca Raton address. That includes the county resi-dents.”‘We are still in the early stages as it will take a lot of work to bring this on,” the assistant district gover-nor of Rotary said. “So far, I have met with the mayor and most council mem-bers, Parks and Recreation Department, assistant city manager, the Green Liv-ing Task Force, the county School Board member and several corporations, and, of course, all five Ro-tary Clubs in Boca. So far, everyone is very excited about the project”Right now, the Parks and Recreation Department is identifying projects that

could be used and I will be meeting with the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District Board to seek their support.”But Freudenberg stressed: “I am counting on the cre-ativity and imagination of our young people to come up with ideas on “greeni-fication” that exceed any-thing we could plan. And it can include help to some non-profits in the area like the Children’s Museum, Hospice and the Mae Volen Center. It could be fun just to see what the kids come up with to beautify the city and create a sense of im-provement in making the city more eco-friendly.” Freudenberg said plans call for introduction of the program in March, with a kickoff date of late April and work to be done in May. He said the FCATs have pushed back the pro-posed dates. He said that Rotarians at the district lev-el are interested to see how it can duplicate this project for use in other areas.

Mayor Susan Whelchel and Rotary Assistant District Governor Dave Freudenberg are shown at a recent meeting where she spoke to the group about the state of the city. The mayor and all five Rotary clubs in Boca Raton are set to launch an effort that would encourage young people to “greenify:” the community

through projects of their own creation.

Boca Helping Hands (BHH) began as a small food center in 1998. Twelve years later, through the steady generosity of our community and the hard work of its small staff, BHH has become a multi-faceted organization, furnishing assis-tance of almost every kind to those struggling among us. There are five fingers to the “Helping Hand” according to BHH’s Executive Director, James Gavrilos: “The food service center, the pantry pro-gram, “Blessings in a Back-pack,” the Resource Center, and the job mentoring pro-gram.”The food service center pro-vides hot meals out of the Remillard Family Resource Center six times per week. In 2010 alone BHH served a staggering 28,500 hot meals - approximately 750 per week. “There are no questions

asked,” said Gavrilos. “If you show up, you get fed.”BHH’s Pantry Program col-lects non-perishable goods from churches, organizations, and community donors, us-ing them to provide around 700 pantry bags per month to families without access to sufficient meals. Gavrilos emphasized the crucial role of the community in keeping these programs running: “100 percent of our food is donated, and we have wonderfully cre-ative volunteers in our kitchen that can make delicious meals out of all kinds of ingredients.” “Blessings in a Backpack” is designed for children who receive their primary (and sometimes their only) nutri-tion from school dinners. These backpacks are filled with nutritious food to get the kids through the weekend - a crucial resource for struggling families during the recession.The Resource Center, headed

by Program Director Sally Wells, provides direct finan-cial assistance in case of emer-gency situations, including eviction, suspension of utili-ties and inability to afford pre-scription medications. Distrib-uting a total of $160-170,000 per year, Sally and the Re-source Center help people to resolve immediate problems, but it doesn’t end there. Sally also compiles a comprehen-sive budget with the families, helping them to come up with a long-term plan for self-suf-ficiency. “We are not a homeless en-gagement center,” says Gavri-los. “When people hit an ice patch in their lives and cannot seem to get traction, we help them to get back up. Then we show them how to take the next steps on their own. What we aim to do here is break the cycle of need.” The fifth and final finger is the Job Mentor Program, which is

perhaps the most crucial factor in establishing independence. By providing computer class-es, Internet access, interview skills, and resume coaching, 135 people found jobs through this program in 2010 alone, and this figure promises to rise in 2011.Another major focus at BHH is food recovery: “50 percent of America’s food is liter-ally thrown in the trash,” says Gavrilos. “It is unconscio-nable that we have a hunger problem in this country.” If this figure doesn’t shock you, consider that 50 percent of that wasted food is recover-able: “Palm Beach County alone throws out 169 million pounds of usable, recover-able food per year,” continues Gavrilos. One of BHH’s major goals is to prevent this kind of waste, and several businesses have teamed up with the orga-nization to help out, including Capital Grille, Chipotle, and

Whole Foods. Gavrilos characterizes the at-mosphere at BHH as “beyond passion – we have a zeal and commitment here. This or-ganization runs entirely on volunteers.” Volunteer Coor-dinator, Joan Sappenfield, for example, spends 40 hours per week at the center on a vol-unteer basis: “The families keep me here,” she says, “I see the changes in the children as the families learn to break the cycle of need.” There are many others who feel the same way. Ann Jaakkola, the BHH accountant, works entirely for free: “I love being part of a change that I can actu-ally see,” she says, “especially when it comes to helping the children.”There are many ways to do-nate to BHH, be it cans of food or your own time. Volunteers of all ages and walks of life are always needed; as Gavri-los says, “Everybody can do something!” If you would like to help out, please visit bocahelpinghands.org, or call 561-417-0913 for more infor-mation.

In addition we had large Mediterranean mussels with julienne veg-etables in a fantastic wine/curry sauce. The sautéed calamari with its garlic, white wine and grape to-matoes was delicious as the grilled calamari over arugu-la with lemon and olive oil.Two soups are featured - a very light tortellini in broth and as well as a smooth pasta e fagioli with crated cheese, both very tasty in-deed.

Superior Italian Dishes – Bravo Caruso!

Five salads are listed cove-ring a wide variety of ingre-dient combinations.Variations of pasta dishes include a spinach fettuc-cine in tomato/cream sauce with ground sausage, peas and pecorino cheese - deli-cious and filling. Likewise, the ravioli pillows in their tomato/cream sauce had peas and a bit of fresh mint - Both are winners. There are nine additional pasta combinations on the menu as well.The fresh fish selection stars a boneless branzino alla francese served on a bed of spinach with mashed potatoes. This really is a specialty fish done here to perfection. The Hawaiian blue snapper - a filet sau-téed with tomatoes plus garlic, olives and dainty white asparagus was a joy to try.Additional entrees include three veal dishes, filet mignon, Hawaiian king prawns and three chicken variations. Delicious side dishes include spinach or broccoli in garlic and oil or broccoli rabe.

The desserts include a very light and tasty tiramisu, a lime cake-very creamy, sorbet and gelato and tar-tufo semifredro Caruso’s pear tart and apple tart need 20 minutes to prepare-order early when you dine.Portions are generous and pricing is reasonable for these fine quality dishes.The standard menu features 6 appetizers, 2 soups, 5 sal-ads, 12 pastas, 9 entrees and 4 desserts.

The ‘Wings of Freedom’ exhibit made a triumphant return to Boca Raton last weekend. The exhibition was made possible by the Collings Foundation and featured three essential tools in America’s victory in World War II - the B-17 and B-24 bombers along with the P-51 Mustang. The planes have been restored to their original condition. They look, sound, and fly just as they would have in the 1940’s. On Sunday, January 30th, crowds lined up to take unguided tours of the nos-talgic yet intimidating air-craft. The ancient ‘birds of war’ were in stark con-trast to the sleek corporate jets that landed and took off from the Boca Raton Airport runway only 100 yards away. Children ran beneath the bomber’s hulls and pointed excitedly while their parents attempted to corral their intuitive youngsters. But everyone seemed to be impressed by the solidity of aircraft usu-ally only seen in postcards, books, and in History Channel specials. The Boca

Raton Fire Rescue Explor-ers - a youth fire training program - sold hotdogs, co-kes, and candy underneath a tent. When asked if they pretended like they were soldiers while walking through the bombers, they all agreed. “Of course,” said one young man. “You have to get into character.”Luckily, a “character” was in attendance and he had a little more hands on knowl-edge than most. Gerald Fahrer flew 51 combat mis-sions in the B- 24 ‘Libera-tor’. He was one of the few veterans at the event. Fahrer spoke enthusiastically with those on hand, telling and re-telling tales of his ex-ploits while walking in the shadows of airplanes he once flew. In a short time

he rattled off a number of war stories to interested onlookers, offering his de-cidedly unique perspec-tive to the ancient relics of World War II. Some of the stories included: a seren-dipitous audience with the pope while on leave in Italy, shooting off red warning flares at confused American forces while ta-king down a ‘wounded’ B-24 in an abandoned field, flying into the black smoke of a burning oil refinery on a bombing mission in the Alps, the sight of 1,100 air-craft in the sky at the same time, and the horror of be-ing wounded in the cockpit and attempting to fly his B-24 back to safety with an injured arm. The worst part about being wounded was the know-

ledge that his fellow sol-diers were hurt as well, re-called Fahrer.“When I looked back, the flight deck was covered in the blood,” he said. Fahrer was quick to men-tion the bravery and com-mitment of his fellow sol-diers and how fortunate he feels to have survived the

Bomber’sCharacter - Ed Ignatoff takes aim Bomber’s Gerald - Gerald Fahrer, World War II Veteranwar.“We lost 80 percent of our men,” he said. “When we have reunions, most of the men there were a part of the ground crew.”Gerald reminisced about his re-entrance into Amer-ica after the war. He was on a boat cruising into New York harbor. He said that

he looked up and the first thing he saw was a para-chute jumper. The sight struck him so deeply that he said he fell to his knees and thanked God. “Every day is a bonus. That’s the way I live my li-fe,” said Fahrer. It wasn’t all misty remem-brances, however. Fahrer

was still feisty about the rivalry between B-24 and B-17 flight crews. He re-fused to have his picture taken in front of the B-17, walking steadfastly across the lot to the B-24 to pose. “The B-17 boys used to say, ‘we fly higher and fast-er than you,’” said Fahrer. “We say, ‘in your dreams you did.”

the United States gov-ernment. At a St. Bal-drick’s event, something amazing happens. People who normally shy away from the very thought of childhood cancer find themselves compelled to support this cause af-ter looking into the face of these brave children who are beaming as their friends and family mem-bers proudly display their newly shorn heads. Vo-lunteers and donors see it can be fun to support a serious cause.This is the seventh year that the event has hap-pened at Olympic Heights, which was brought not only to the school but to Palm Beach County se-ven years ago by Olym-pic Heights own Renee Manwaring.Olympic Heights raised more than $41,000 in this year’s event, with 76 brave students and staff members stepping up to the plate to raise money for children’s cancer. Over the course of the seven years, Olympic Heights has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars to helping find a cure for childhood cancer.“St. Baldrick’s touches me a lot” said Brianna Silva, sophomore and treasurer of the Student Government Association, “It makes me think about how I complain about the smallest things and how I should stop and appreci-ate all that I have around me because some people aren’t as lucky.”Silva isn’t alone in her

thinking. Many other students, when they talk about what St. Baldrick’s is to them, always end up with those same words about how they should appreciate what they have more because some people aren’t as lucky.Of all the years I have been a part of St. Bal-drick’s, I must go out on a limb here and say that this year was by far the best year ever. Yes, even better than when I was at-tending Olympic Heights. There was something dif-ferent about this year that just seemed as if the en-tire student body was unified, I’ve never seen the gym so full before in my time there. The sea of green gave me goose bumps. Only one word can describe what St. Baldrick’s this year at Olympic Heights felt like: “Phenomenal,” said Brianna Silva.

Neiman Marcus’ spring fashion show dazzled an appreciative audience of almost 500 styl-ish ladies at the annual gala luncheon for the Greater Boca Raton Cancer Chapter of The Pap Corps. The theme of this spring season is “All about happy,” according to Lauren Johnson, PR director of the department store. Johnson coordinated the show to highlight the hottest trends of the season beginning with a kaleidoscope of color. A vibrant mix of shades flowed down the catwalk with blends of purples, blues, and fuchsias from designers such as Cavalli, Escada, Pucci, Fendi and more.After that cavalcade, the show shifted into neutral with a selection of earth tones. I loved the body-hugging Lanvin dress with exposed zipper and the stunning St. John beige and white tweed jacket.Then the shade of the season took center stage...coral! Feminine, versatile and universally flattering. the hue graced designs by Chanel, Akris, Fendi and more.One of the favorite fashion sections was the polka dots, prints, and metallics, which brought out an exciting assortment of looks.Ending the show, the glamorous evening wear had the crowd in continuous applause. Espe-cially stunning was the ever sublime Valentino showing a blush ruffle gown.Stunning! All looks were made even more dazzling with jewels by Andreoli!At the end of the show smiling faces filled the audience! Happy indeed! And congrats to the organizers who raised over $175,000 for cancer research!

All about happy...

AS SEEN BY FEENBy Diane Feen

They say laughter is the best medicine. And I couldn’t agree more. An apple a day is so passé (and the pestici-des could kill you) and exercise just takes up too much time. So when Lewis Black canceled his concert date at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Jay Leno stepped in at the last minute. So li-ke any laughter junkie (and Jay Leno fan) I jumped at the chance to transcend the mundane and giggle until my sides hurt.And I was not disappointed. “I heard that Cosmopolitan Magazine is telling women that they should drop their panties on the dinner table on a date. If you’re mar-ried, that won’t work. The man will just yell, ‘That’s my steak, don’t put your rolled up underpants on my steak.’”That’s the great thing about Jay Leno; he is part comedi-an and part actor. His jokes make it seem like we’re all living in a supersized world boiled down to its lowest common dominator. He paces the floor just blurt-ing out funny anecdotes and telling stories as if he had a tape recorder firmly im-planted in his brain. And, if you watch the Tonight Show you know that Leno’s wit travels at the speed of light. He has the ability to disarm the serious and make mere

Laughter, Jay Leno style; wit at the speed of light

mortals laugh until our sto-ries (or pain) fades into the woodwork.Dressed in a dark blue suit with striped tie, Leno looked every bit the part of the Wall Street banker. But unlike the heavy hitting business stiff Leno takes the every-day foibles of the modern man (or woman) and makes them seem pretty hysterical. “When they asked Charlie Sheen about the night he was found in the Plaza Ho-tel with a naked hooker, he said it was just a bad night. Let me tell you, if the aver-age man was in a suite in the Plaza Hotel with a naked girl, he would say it was a great night.”If you ask me, any night with Jay Leno is a great night. He’s the reason I stay up until the last stray cat has found dessert and the world has sealed its last shutter. Sure I would love to subscribe to the notion that “early to bed, early to rise

makes a man (or wom-an) healthy, wealthy and wise,” but I can’t seem to end a day without a dose of Leno. Who else is going to make me laugh - the check-out girl at Publix?“They say obesity may be caused by a virus. Have you seen anyone in Africa with the obe-sity virus? So, what are you going to do, call in fat? Boss, I’m not coming in today. I’m staying home to eat M&M’s. I caught the obesity virus, some-one in the office sneezed

on me.”If you know Leno then you know about his love-hate relationship with cats. “When you’re dating a wo-man with a cat she will give you the cat speech. ‘Cats are very independent. They think for themselves, they eat when they want, sleep when they want, and disap-pear for days at a time and then show up as if noth-ing happened. Everything women hate about men they love in a cat.’”Cat chatting aside, seeing Jay Leno is about as good as it gets if you want to stimulate your endorphins (and lighten your load of re-ality). And, in a world torn apart by inane innuendos and critical banter, it’s good to see someone who can up-lift our spirits and tickle our funny bones - if just for one night. Leno will be appearing in Boca February 26th at The Concours d’Elegance Grand Gala at the Boca Ra-ton Resort.

ENTERTAINMENTBy Skip Sheffield

It was the opposite of a slam-bang action weekend in new film releases a few days ago, with two contemplative, dare we say downbeat? foreign films.The oddly-spelled “Biutiful” is generating the most inter-est because it has an Oscar nomination as Best Foreign Film (Spain) and its star Ja-vier Bardem is a Best Actor candidate.There is no question Bar-dem does a masterful job as Uxbal, a Barcelona hustler involved in shady dealings, mostly involving crooked cops and illegal immigrants.On the other hand Uxbal is a loving father to two young children, whom he is raising as a single parent because of their mother’s mental illness and utter irresponsibility.His wife Marimba (Mari-cel Avarez) has sunk so low she does tricks as a prostitute when she is not sleeping with Uxbal’s no-count brother.If this weren’t grim enough, Uxbal is trying to carry on his chaotic ordinary life with the knowledge he has termi-nal cancer and only a couple of months left to live.Yes, Mexican writer-director Alejandro Guillermo Inarritu

Two contemplative, downbeat films hit theaters

has really heaped the misery on his leading character, yet Bardem’s Uxbal soldiers on with stoicism and generos-ity, even as he is entering the terminal stages of illness.So you see the title, which is Uxbal’s young son’s mis-spelling on a crayon draw-ing, is anything but “Beauti-ful.” The paradox, if you stick with the story through its two-and-a-half-hour length, is that this is a tale of redemption. It is a remarkable performance by Bardem, surely one of the best actors in the world today.

“Another Year” unexciting but reassuring“Another Year” is an unex-citing title for an unexciting film by British director Mike

Leigh. That is meant in a good way, because “Ano-ther Year” is a film of great subtlety, anchored by two fine character actors.Tom (Jim Broadbent) and Gerri (Ruth Sheen) are a long-married couple still in love in the autumn of their years (the film is divided into the four seasons).By contrast everyone around them is not happy at all. Gerri’s best friend Janet (Imelda Staunton) is almost comatose from depression. Tom’s old friend Ken (Pe-ter Wight) is pretty much a lush with other bad habits. Then there’s Mary (Lesley Manville) who also drinks too much and struggles with depression.Tom and Gerri, so different from the cartoon characters, are almost apologetic for being so darn content, with fulfilling jobs, useful hob-bies, and a good relationship with their grown son (Oliver Maltman). In short, the chal-lenges of life do not get Tom and Gerri down.For that “Another Year” is a lovely, uplifting and gently entertaining film.

Can you imagine what it must feel like, if you were an animal, to be beaten and abused by your owner? Unfortunately this is very common in America. Over 6 million cats and dogs are abused each year. Luckily Raining Cats and Dogs Inc has saved a lot of these cats and dogs from their abuse owners. They have been serving all of South Florida since 2001. Raining Cats and Dogs Inc. is a no-kill, non-profit organization.

Raining Cats and Dogs Saves the DayA Majority of their animals were rescued only days be-fore euthanasia at animal control. Some were found as strays or by cars nearly hitting them. One of their featured pets, Holly and Brooke, arrived at a shelter in Port St. Lucie starving, bloody, and hairless. The shelter was full so Raining Cats and Dogs Inc. took them in. They believe that both Holly and Brook were abused by their previous male owner because they are very shy towards males they’ve never meet. To make sure the animals are never abused again they visit your home to make it easier for the animals.

They adopt their dogs at PetsMART on Glades and 441 in Boca Raton. Rain-ing Cats and Dogs repre-sentatives are there every Saturday and Sunday from 12-4 pm. They also accept donations for medical ex-penses.

By Gerald ShermanWHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN?

Gerald J. Sherman of Sherman & Perlman LLC is a marketing and public relations person and has written several books and articles on these subjects.

While clearing out some papers that I have accumu-lated over the years, I came across notes from a lecture I gave at Lynn University as one of the guest speakers in Dr. Ralph Norcio’s class. My topic was, “Going into Business.” Although the presentation was given years ago, the information remains true. The formula for a successful business remains the same. Howe-ver, keeping up with the changes in the virtual mar-ket, social media and other technical advances is an es-sential add-on for business to succeed today. Because of the high unem-ployment situation, many people are going into their own business. This is a mo-numental step and there are many roadblocks along the way. Of great importance is having had experience working in that field as an employee. Before you can command the ship, you must have the experience of being one of the crew. I say this because the work situa-tion enables you to observe what motivates your work force. Getting along with people is one of the keys to success. There is a link between successful people and their work ethic, per-

When starting your own business, old advice is still good advice

sonal characteristics and values. Some of the follo-wing are characteristics of successful entrepreneurs: Integrity - “Truth will out!” In Shakespeare’s, “The Merchant of Venice,” 1596, these words rang out. Business is based on relationships and success-ful relationships are based on telling it as it is. That is why I include integrity in the mix. Having this qua-lity will set you apart. The advantage is that you will gain respect from those you encounter and com-munication will be readily accepted.Perseverance - Never giving up, staying the course is one of the characteristics of the achiever. Give me the per-son who believes in what they are doing and, regard-less of the obstacles, will stay focused on their goals and I will show you a suc-cessful person. That is why perseverance gets my vote as a major characteristic. Empathy - Regardless of the business or service you are interested in, you are in the business of “people.” Understanding the people, working with them is one of the key elements to run-ning a successful business. People with a high degree

of empathy understand the other person’s situation and are able to find a solution. The ability to listen and feel the situation as your own enables you to render a fair decision and proper advice.Ego Drive - People with a strong ego drive strive to be winners and are focused on a successful outcome. They do not become pessimistic in a negative situation but work harder to achieve suc-cess to satisfy their goals. They don’t look for excuses nor put the blame on others but work harder to achieve the success they need to sa-tisfy their inner self. Another vital prerequisite before going into your own business is to ask yourself the following basic ques-tions:Does a need or want exist or can I create that need or want?What makes my idea unique?Who is my competition?Do I have to have a busi-ness plan?How much capital will I need?What is my time frame?If you think that you met all the requirements; then go for it! Good Luck!

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

Michael H. Gora has been certified by the Board of Specialization of The Florida Bar as a specialist in family and matrimonial law.

Question: My husband and I are going through the di-vorce process, and have been for about six months. We have a mediation com-ing up. To prepare, I sat down with a friend of mine to go through her divorce settlement. Last night, my friend and I were discussing insurance issues. I have been married for more than 20 years, and we are both 45 years old, and in good health. We have two kids, one in college, one a sophomore at Pine Crest. I have not worked during the marriage. My husband makes good money. We ha-ve always had health insu-rance and life insurance, through his employment with a public company.Can you tell me what kind of insurance protection I would get if the case went to court? Would the judge have to give the children and me the same health insurance we have now? Would he give me life insur-ance to pay for alimony and child support, in the case of my husband’s premature death?

Answer: Let’s discuss the life insurance first. Florida appellate court decisions have made it much harder for a trial court to award life insurance as security for alimony or child support in the last few years. To be

Divorce can impact insurance coverage in a variety of ways

sustained on appeal an award of life insurance must meet three criteria:1. There must be “special circumstances” requiring the insurance. That seems to mean that there has to be some special risk to your husband’s health, or, per-haps, some special condi-tion that would prohibit you from ever earning your own support, or being able to support your minor child.2. The trial court must find that the insurance is af-fordable, after making the distribution of assets, and deducting the cost of the alimony and child support from your husband’s earn-ings. Non-marital assets of both parties must be consid-ered.3. The court must make spe-cific findings as to whether all of the proceeds of exist-ing insurance are necessary to secure the support, or the amount of a new policy, and how the insurance is to be distributed; directly and all at once , or through a trus-tee, in monthly payments.That being said, it is quite common to be able to nego-tiate life insurance coverage during mediation, especial-ly if you and your husband already have life insurance. The life insurance to secure alimony would be based upon the amount of alimo-ny that you receive and your life expectancy, or, perhaps

the number of years left be-fore your husband is of re-tirement age, or the number of years left on your term insurance policy already in place.That insurance requirement would be eliminated if you lost your alimony as the re-sult of a re-marriage, or la-ter modification of alimony. Insurance to secure child support would be calculated based upon the current child support, and incorporate a declining balance to take into consideration your mi-nor child’s age and balance due.You have also asked about health insurance coverage. The court will probably require your husband to continue to supply health insurance for your minor child, and, perhaps, for your children while they are in college or to the age now provided in the new health care law. Federal law does not al-low you to continue on your husband’s group health plan indefinitely, but creates, through a process referred to as COBRA, the ability to maintain your present co-verage at an expense close to what your husband’s com-pany is paying to cover you. You can choose to go with that plan or purchase your own. The cost of your insu-rance will be considered as one of your needs by co-vered alimony.

Most CEOs and other top executives of large orga-nizations have access to a wide range of business ad-visors and teachers. Many of these consultants arrive with the latest business ideas and fads. Fads come and go, however, being re-placed by other novel and often short-lived strategies. Left in their wake are con-fusion and questionable business practices that are not rooted in time-tested wisdom.Wes Cantrell, former CEO over a $14 billion corpo-ration that manufactured copying machines sold worldwide, had many op-portunities to utilize some of these new and innova-tive ideas. But he chose to take a very different path. Speaking at a recent gath-ering of business and pro-fessional people, Cantrell made a statement some of his listeners might have found surprising – that his management style and prin-ciples he followed were based on and rooted in the Ten Commandments.Rather than following busi-ness practices that seem-ingly change with the wind, he was able to guide his or-ganization consistently by using commands that have survived thousands of years and countless challenges. As Psalm 119:98-99 teach-es, “Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. I have more insight than all my teachers for I meditate

Leading with Wisdomon your statutes.”The Ten Commandments are presented in two places in the Bible’s Old Testa-ment - Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. The first three command-ments deal with mankind’s relationship with God; the remaining seven offer prin-ciples that can be applied to any business setting. For instance, the fourth commandment directs us to observe a Sabbath day. Practically speaking, it re-minds us if we work day and night, not pausing for rest and refreshment, we will break down mentally and physically.Hardly any of us would find fault with many of the Ten Commandments. The most controversial, of course, are those requir-ing worship and obedience to God alone. For athe-ists and agnostics, that is a great stumbling block. But in the Scriptures, God ex-plains a practical motiva-tion for obeying His rules: “Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the Lord promised on oath to your forefathers” (Deu-teronomy 8:1).What if a consultant like those cited above were to arrive at your office and declare with great convic-tion, “If you follow what I tell you, your business will grow and prosper, and you will experience more suc-

cess than you ever could imagine.” Would you not at least pause to consider his recommendations and see how they could fit with your company’s mission and culture?The problem, of course, is obvious. Next week, next month or next year some-one else will come along and make similar boasts, claiming his or her propos-al amounts to the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel. Yes, fads and gimmicks come and go – in the business world as well as other realms of society. Unlike those, however, the Ten Commandments have been around for thousands of years and remain rock solid as a consistent, reli-able guide for conduct, both personal and profes-sional.Leading an organization re-quires wisdom. If you want to create a strong advantage over your competition, you would be wise to consider Wes Cantrell’s advice to study and apply God’s Word, the Bible, to your business as well as your personal life. And the Ten Commandments would be a good place to start.Until next week!

BOCA RATON - The local economy is on the rise ac-cording to The Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), who presented their 2011 market-ing plan at the Boca Raton Resort and Club on Monday afternoon.Troy McLellan, President and CEO of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, outlined some of Palm Beach County’s recent economic successes: “South County represents over 5,500 [hotel] rooms, which is 34% of the total number of rooms in all of Palm Beach County...we have contrib-uted greatly to the bed tax in this county, and South Coun-ty led the state of Florida in the best occupancy recovery for 2011.”Jorge Pesquera, President and CEO of the CVB, said: “We believe in the magic of Boca Raton, we believe in the

vibrancy of Delray Beach…South county matters, be-cause you have a lot to offer to those families huddled in their living rooms, wonder-ing where they are going to go next summer, or next season.” Getting these va-cationers to choose the Palm Beaches, claims Pesquera, is the key to economic recov-ery in Florida. This initiative has already yielded noticeable results: Palm Beach County has ex-perienced a nearly 10% in-crease in year-to-date (YTD) occupancy compared to last year. In addition, the Palm Beaches placed number one in growth among all Florida destinations, and the county has seen nine consecutive months of improved bed tax. Palm Beach County has also had the strongest job growth of any of Florida’s 22 metro areas, adding 6,900 jobs be-tween December 2009 and December 2010 – more than twice the state’s growth rate.

“Palm Beach county leads the state in new jobs” said Pesquera. “Visitors mean jobs, and less taxes. For ev-ery 85 visitors, there is a new job.” When those are first-time visitors, added Pesquera, just 45 will create a new job. Looking ahead, “business leaders from the local cham-bers of commerce will have the opportunity to align their efforts with the CVB and play an even more integral role in promoting this area,” said McLellan.Mr. Pesquera also called the Everglades “an under-uti-lized opportunity, particular-ly for the European market,” so we can expect to see more emphasis laid upon that nat-ural resource in the coming months.Find out more about what the CVB is doing for South Palm Beach County at http://www.palmbeachfl.com/.

The Keno Brothers to celebrate launch of new furniture line in Boca Raton

By Donovan Ortega

The Keno brothers will be dropping into Boca Ra-ton on February 11th to launch their new furniture line. They will be at Robb and Stucky in Mizner Park at 2 pm. Leigh and Leslie Keno are best known as the enthusiastic, blonde twins from PBS’s Emmy nomi-nated program, Antiques Roadshow. They are among the country’s foremost ex-perts on antiques, and they have combined their 60 years of collective expertise to create The Keno Bros.™ collection, a new line of handcrafted classically modern furniture by Theo-

dore Alexander. The furni-ture line is comprised of ap-proximately 100 individual pieces ranging in style from 18th century classics to 20th century modern adap-tations. The line has Leigh and Leslie Keno’s distinct style; one born out of years in an antiques business in which they have honed and streamlined their vision of

beauty.This is the first time the brothers have worked to-gether on a project. Leigh Keno currently owns and operates Keno Auctions in New York City, while Leslie Keno is Senior Vice President and Senior Spe-cialist of American Furni-ture and Decorative Arts at Sotheby’s in New York. Even though their respec-tive careers have been in the same field, it might seem contentious to combine two giants and expect them to work together peacefully. But, as the Keno brothers fondly recall, their visions often aligned.

One brother’s opinion would simply reinforce the hunch of the other. “This is our passion,” said Leslie in an interview with the Boca Raton Tribune. “We just appreciate great, beautiful objects. We see furniture as sculpture. It’s not decoration to us. We want our pieces to be the heirlooms of tomorrow.”Leigh agreed.“Yep,” he said.Robb & Stucky Interiors - 200 Plaza Real - Boca Raton, Florida 33432(Southeast corner of Mizner Park)

Jupiter, Fl - Looking for re-demption from a year ago, Lynn University’s base-ball team opened its 2011 season with an 8-4 victory over Palm Beach Atlan-tic on Tuesday night. Eric Herrera went 3-for-5 with a RBI and two runs scored while Andrew Virgili was dominant on the mound with seven strikeouts in four innings pitched. This marks the fourth consecu-tive year LU has won its season-opener.After a one-two-three first frame, the Fighting Knights put a four-spot on the score-board in the top of the sec-ond. Kyle Radzewski drove in the first run of the season with a bases loaded sac-rifice fly to deep left field. Phil Mannelly loaded the bags a batter later with an infield single and LU took a 2-0 lead when Johnny Broderick snuck a single

past the infield .Patience at the plate put Lynn on top 3-0 later in the inning when Austin Smith drew a five-pitch walk to plate Mannelly and Alex Bello drove in the first of his two runs with a ground out to second.Virgili kept the Sailfish hit-ters off-balance through-out his time on the mound. The junior transfer fanned two in the first, one in the second, and two more in each of the third and fourth frames. He allowed just one base hit, a dribbler through the left side, and did not is-sue a walk.Derstine made it a 5-0 Lynn lead in the fifth with a sacrifice fly to center field and the Blue & White used their speed to add a sixth run. With two outs, Herrera stole second, advanced to third on a passed ball then took a chance on a wild pitch that rolled eight feet from the plate to score.

Kyle Wolfe picked up the victory with three innings of relief. The local product out of Jupiter, Fla., allowed one run on three hits and struck out two.Taking a 7-0 lead follo-wing a Bello sac fly in the sixth, Palm Beach Atlan-tic finally got its first run in the bottom of the frame when Taylor Kaprive drove in Jorge Chavarria with a single through the right side. Lynn got out of trou-ble though with a inning-ending double-play by Luis Mejia. The Knights turned three double-plays on the night.Both teams exchanged runs in the eighth and LU ap-peared to be cruising to the win. But a pair of fielding errors in the bottom of the ninth led to two unearned PBA runs. Lynn turned two on a fantastic play off a ground ball to first and Bello ended the game by catching a foul ball down the right field line.

Udonis Haslem suffered an injury to his foot on November 20th in a game against the Memphis Griz-zlies. He tore ligaments and is listed as out until late March or early April as the HEAT hopes he can regain form in time for the playoffs. Miami’s need for Haslem was overshadowed by their success in Decem-ber, but as time rolls on, it becomes clear the ways they miss him, and the ben-efit they will receive when Haslem is ready to play again. With that said, here are three ways the HEAT miss the services of Udonis Haslem and what to look for when he returns.Rebounding - When he went out, Udonis was leading the team in rebounding at 8.2 per game. Everyone’s concern was the HEAT are not big enough to get it done and rebounds were the concern. Udonis has been a staple on the boards his entire ca-reer, and it’s something he takes pride in. Although the HEAT rank 8th in the NBA in rebounding, Haslem’s presence on the boards can free up LeBron and Wade to take less time to clean-ing up rebounds and more time getting out into tran-sition. Bosh has turned up his rebounds tremendously since UD went out, as well as Wade. When Udonis is

Three Ways the HEAT miss Udonis Haslemback and able to contribute on the boards next to Bosh and Joel, the HEAT should have enough to make their rebounding a clear advan-tage on the defense and of-fensive side of the court.Charges - The HEAT track and record charges taken on defense. They place a high importance on this be-cause of the way their de-fensive system is designed to provide help defense everywhere on the court. Udonis has led the team in charges taken for years, and was earlier this season before his injury. Now, it is James Jones. When Udo-nis returns, his ability to take the charge and close out on defense will pro-vide the HEAT with extra defensive pressure. Udonis is a superb defender. He is many times over-matched, but he is smart and is will-ing to sacrifice his body for the team. This creates turn-overs for the opponent and extra possessions for the HEAT to control the game.Leadership - Haslem is the co-captain of the HEAT alongside Dwyane Wade. He has been described as the heart and soul of the Miami HEAT. He embod-ies what us fans want to see in a player - he is hard working, and gives every-thing that he has until the finish. His leadership will be appreciated when he re-turns. He is able and will-

ing to voice his opinion and anchor the defense. This is his style of leadership. He leads by example. Of the 13 games he played this season, he had 6 double figure rebounding games off the bench. He leads by example and many times, he will be the spark off the bench and continued effort the HEAT need to close out opponents.Udonis is already missed in so many ways. But it is also encouraging to see the HEAT succeed so well without Haslem in the line-up. It shows that once he does come back he will be able to offer the small piec-es that the team needs him to. Wade, James and Bosh all gave up money to make room for Udonis Haslem to continue to be a part of this team. It’s unfortunate that he got hurt, but rest as-sured that when he returns he will be welcomed with open arms to be a core part of this team.

It is perhaps the supreme irony in golf that the sim-plest shot in the book seems to cause the biggest problem to the largest num-ber of golfers. Let’s face it, the putt is the only golf shot that it is re-ally possible to execute flawlessly without any tu-ition at all. We all start off doing this as kids. Some of us are even superb at it at this young age. It is this shot that is often the spur that leads to a lifelong ad-diction to this wonderful game of golf. What then, goes wrong? How can this easiest of golf shots become the absolute bane of an adult golfer’s life? Sorry to say, there is no easy answer. Experts are just as baffled as inex-perienced amateurs over this one. The saying ‘it’s all in the mind’ was probably never more true than in this golfing case. Several years ago, an American company de-veloped a golf putting ma-chine. They carried out tests in optimum putting conditions and were gob-smacked to discover that their pride and joy couldn’t hole every putt. They took that machine apart and tweaked every element of it until they were certain that it was in perfect work-ing order. And, guess what? It still failed to hole some putts. If this doesn’t go to prove that there is at least

Is There Any Cure For Golf Putting Problems?

an element of ‘black art’ about golf putting, then nothing will. The best lesson to take from the above is that you really never are going to achieve putting perfection. If a ma-chine in perfect working under operating under per-fect putting conditions fails to hole every golf putt, then a human being with all his or her imperfections never is. So, the first rule is, stop giving yourself such a hard time whenever you miss a few putts. It happens to even top professional golf-ers. In fact, any problem you have with putting is much more likely to be psy-chological than physical, so the very last thing you should be doing is getting down on yourself mentally; this can only make matters worse.Is there anything you can do if you really do have severe, regular putting problems? Well, apart from working on the mental side of things to inculcate strong belief that you really can putt (try some self-hypnosis tapes etc.) the best advice is to see if a change of putter will do the trick. Take your lead from the profession-als. So many professional golfers who’ve suffered terribly from the ‘yips’ on the putting green, such as Bernhard Langer, found their salvation in the broom handle putter - maybe you should give one a try.
