The Delray Beach Tribune ED 8

DELRAY BEACH - The power of the pulpit may become the Del-ray Beach Police Department’s newest weapon in fighting crime.

With five murders and one at-tempted within a 60-day period – the most deadly two-month stretch in the city’s history - po-lice are reaching out to the clergy to deliver a message that will help

curb violence in particularly trou-bled neighborhoods. In 2011, there were six homicides in the city.

The initiative began recently with a series of closed-door meet-ings between police top brass and religious leaders.

“I want to start a dialog with key people in the community. The churches and our houses of wor-ship provide the type of struc-ture we need in the community,”

said Capt. Michael Coleman, who commands the detective division. “They can help people put their lives back together and they can also offer opportunities to young people. The clergy is in a position to be seen as honest brokers. They can have the trust of different groups.”

There are 38 houses of wor-ship in the 1-square-mile troubled

The annual celebrations honoring the Rev Martin Lu-ther King Jr. promise to have all the usual markings of a small-town event – a church service, a breakfast and a walk.

But organizers say there will be a new twist – a showcase of local talented youth and a spirit often absent from daily life.

“We will be placing an em-phasis on our young people this year,” said Lillie Strainge, coor-dinator of the MLK Jr, Com-mittee. “Along with our youth activities on Saturday, we will have several young people on the program on Sunday.”

Monday, Jan. 21, is a national holiday to honor the civil rights leader, who was born on Jan. 15, 1929, and slain April 4, 1968.

The winners from the Inau-gural South Florida Speak Out! oratorical contest will speak at three events across the city.

On Sunday, representatives

from houses of worship around the city are expected to hold the annual ecumenical service at St. Paul Episcopal, 188 S. Swinton Ave.

Immediately following the service, the ladies of Alpha Kap-pa Alpha Sorority will sponsor a reception in the Atrium.

In celebration of the legacy

and spirit of King, four local speakers will share their in-sights on his contributions in the areas of education, religion,

DELRAY BEACH – Chris Ninos’ boss told him to pick him up at Ma-roone Ford dealership on Linton Bou-levard recently so they could go to lunch while he got his car serviced.

But when the accountant walked through the door, he was greeted with

a loud “Surprise!” He looked around and saw his co-workers from a local internet marketing firm and his boss, who handed him the key to a 2013 Ford Escape.

“Oh my God,” said Ninos, who also was celebrating his 52nd birthday on the same day. “Wow, I am speechless. I can’t believe this.”

BMI Elite CEO Brandon Rosen said Ninos deserves the “special gift” because he is loyal, honest, trustworthy and a hard worker.

“His car is falling apart, but unfor-tunately he cannot afford to buy a new one so we are giving him this brand new Ford Escape SUV to say thank you for everything that he does,” Rosen said. “I believe that this will change his life more than we all can imagine.”

Ninos, the company’s chief finan-cial officer for two years, was driving a 15-year-old Ford with 99,000 miles on it. He was surprised not by the gesture.

“You couldn’t ask for a better com-

pany to work for and a [better] group of people to work with,” he said. “They take care of their employees. It’s like a big family here.”

Dan Lansman, BMI Elite president, said the company, which is approaching 3-years-old, takes care of its employees and believes in rewarding good effort.

“He is a great worker, a guy who

calls you at 5 o’clock in the mornings on his day off to check in about the of-fice,” said Lansman, who has known Ninos for 11 years. “So I just wanted to show him that we appreciate every-thing he does for us.”

Lansman said they considered giv-ing Ninos a bonus for his birthday. But they decided to on the $30,000 SUV instead.

“We thought it would be a nice per-sonal touch, something he’ll have for a long time and to totally surprise him at an event like this, is perfect,” he said.

The car was decorated with bal-loons and ribbons and Maroone Ford threw in three years of free service.

“I think it’s amazing that someone who runs a small company could really take care of their employees,” said Paul Wuest, the salesman who sold Rosen the car. “Obviously the gentleman has done a lot of work for them and it shows that they really appreciate it.”

BOYNTON BEACH – The campus of St. John Missionary Baptist Church buzzed with activity last week as speak-

ers from across the country participat-ed in a four-day conference to win souls for the lord.

The seventh annual TAP561° 2012 National Men’s Conference did more than focused on scriptures. While the conference was spiritual at its heart, the workshops were designed to at-tract secular participants. Attendees received information on maintaining a healthy lifestyle such as health testing and screening, hypertension, diabetes, AIDS and HIV.

A panelists, comprised of members of the clergy and health care profes-sionals, also shared expertise and some good practice models at a round table discussion over lunch on the closing day.

“The problems in our communi-ties are deeper than politics,” said con-ference committee chair Minister Al Francis of St. John. “The problems are in human hearts. In our hearts, we need to make peace with God. I don’t want to be pessimistic; I just don’t think poli-

tics is the answer. I believe Jesus is the answer with all of my heart.”

The conference featured speakers including Rev. Dr. Billy Strange of Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in

Miami; Bishop J. Delano Ellis, Senior Pastor of the Pentecostal Churches of Christ, Cleveland, and Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III of Friendship West Baptist Church in Dallas.

The speakers focused on peace with God, instilling hope for tomorrow, and how to make it over by praying through.

“In our world today, there’s just an angst, an unsettledness in our spirits,” Francis said. “Where is truth? Where is hope? Where is love? I think it’s a thirst to get right with God.”

Everyone was welcome to most of the conference but Saturday was a Men Only session because the Satur-day’s Summit, led by Ellis, was meant to speak straight to the hearts of men, Francis said.

“Men, in many ways to me, are the strengths of their community,” he said. “Therefore, we have to empower them to take their rightful places in the com-munity.”

Conference Focuses on Nurturing Mind, Body, Soul

First responders in Palm Beach County have another tool to help them provide the best possible care in the critical “golden hour.”West Boca Community Council and The Alliance of Delray Residential Associations have banded together to present the National Yellow Dot Program. This free program helps first responders provide life-saving medical attention during the first hour after a car crash or other emergency when speed can make the difference between life and death.“That would be so helpful,” said Sheri A. Scarborough, president of the West Boca Community Council. “When you can’t speak for yourself, Yellow Dot can speak for you. If someone is unconscious and can’t tell you, their vital medical information would be right there.”The program, which is supported by the Palm Beach County Sheriff Office and Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue, is provided to people of all ages, with emphasis on senior citizens, said Steve Sherman, a member of the West Boca Community Council Board of Directors.The West Boca Community Council has ordered 50,000 “Yellow Dot’s” because of the response from residents, he said. Council members will distribute them on Dec. 2 at the South County Fire Fest at South County Regional Park, 12551 Glades Road West.Participants place the yellow decal on their vehicle’s rear driver’s-side window. This sticker alerts emergency responders to check a vehicle’s glove compartment for a folder, helping emergency responders provide specific care to participants after a crash.That folder contains a recent photograph, the person’s medical conditions, prescriptions and other vital information concerning an allergy to medicine, diabetes, a heart condition, and other vital information,

Sherman said.The information will not be entered into a database, and won’t go beyond the glove compartment, he added.Sherman said the medical information can include as much or as little as the person chooses. However, participants are not required to list any information such as birth dates or Social Security numbers that could be used for identity theft.“The program can help save lives by improving communication at a time when accident victims may not be able to communicate for themselves,” he said.Also, he said, the forms will not ask for information about pain medication, stimulants or depressants – only life-saving drugs.“That way, people are not targets for criminal activity,” said Sherman, who also is a law enforcement officer.Yellow Dot started in Connecticut in 2002 by an organization called People’s United Bank. It was originally developed for senior citizens but has expanded to serve all ages.Sherman and Scarborough couldn’t say how often the program could save lives, but said the total number isn’t important to him.“If this program saves even one life, I don’t care how much energy we put into it,” he said. “It should be worth it to every one of us.”For more information about the Yellow Dot program and how to enroll, visit www.Westbocacc.com.

South County to Launch Yellow Dot ProgramLocal purveyors of decadent des-

serts put their talents to use for an excellent cause — raising more than $15,000 for animal rescue — at Delray Beach’s historic Sundy House recently. More than 20 celebrity bakers vied for bragging rights in the third Annual Bake for the Rescues. Lisa Berberian of Delray Beach had the most votes from the patrons and Chef David Evans

from the Cake Garden & Tea Bakery in Boynton Beach garnered the second most votes from the crowd. Among the Bake Off celebrity judges were WPTV Channel 5 anchor Kelley Dunn, Sun-ny 107.9’s Christie Banks and Del-ray Beach Mayor Woddie McDuffie. Proceeds benefitted Dezzy’s Second Chance Animal Rescue.

Total Eclipse of the Arts

A Delray Beach woman is among 15 Lynn University students who will attend the inauguration of President Barack Obama this month.

“I’m excited because this is a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity,” said Pame-la Brinson, a graduate student in the course, “Witness to History: The 2013 Presidential Inauguration in Washing-ton, D.C. “It’s great to be a part of his-tory to witness the inauguration of our first black president in office a second time.”

The trip culminates the 400 level January Term (J-Term) course, taught by Sindee Kerker, associate professor of criminal justice in Lynn’s College of Liberal Education.

Kerker, who made a similar trip to D.C. to observe Obama’s inauguration four years ago, will accompany the stu-dents from Jan. 14 – 21.

J.J. Dawson, president of Lynn’s Democratic Club and Eric Gooden, Obama’s stand-in for the third and final presidential debate held on campus Oct. 22, are also among the 15 students at-tending.

“The students are more engaged this year since Lynn hosted the third presidential debate,” Kerker said. “They volunteered for the debate, enrolled in debate related courses and many assist-ed political campaigns and participated

in rallies.”As required by the United States

Constitution, Obama’s swearing-in ceremony is normally held on Jan. 20. Because Jan. 20 falls on a Sunday this year, the outdoor ceremony will fall on Monday, Jan. 21 – which also happens to be Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Prior to the inauguration, students will participate in pre-inauguration ac-tivities and explore the nation’s capital via a variety of tours to monuments and memorials, the U.S. Supreme Court and the White House, among other landmarks.

In addition to the opportunity to witness history, students in Kerker’s class will be required to demonstrate their learning outcomes though a va-riety of written assignments and oral presentations. Among other tasks, stu-dents will be required to keep a daily journal in addition to read the book, Memo to a New President by Mi-chael Genovese, which addresses the strengths and weaknesses of presiden-tial leadership in the United States.

Before the class departs on Jan. 14, students will meet on campus to dis-cuss the media’s impact on the political process, the results of the 2012 presi-dential and congressional elections and the importance of the president’s rela-tionship with other political branches of the U.S. government, among other topics.

Delray Woman Among Lynn Students to attend Presidential Inauguration By Stephen Kaufman

Special to the Delray Beach Tribune

An estimated 1.8 million people braved temperatures of minus 1 degree Celsius for several hours to see President Obama’s first inauguration.

Washington — For nearly 80 years, Jan. 20 has been the day of America’s presidential transition. Because the 20th falls on a Sunday in 2013, President Obama will take the oath of office Jan. 20 in private, and again publicly on Jan. 21 as part of the now familiar inau-gural proceedings.

But until 1933, the relatively warmer day of March 4 was the established time of transition, marking the first day the U.S. Congress convened in 1789 and a govern-ment began to function under the rules of the newly adopted U.S. Constitution.

The 17 weeks between November elec-tions and a March 4 inauguration were convenient for 18th and 19th century of-ficials, who often relied on primitive means of transportation to reach Washington from their home districts. It was also a 17-week “lame duck” session in which defeated or re-tiring members of Congress could continue their work, despite the fact that they were no longer answerable to the voters back home.

Lame-Duck Inactivity During National Crises

It wasn’t just improved traveling condi-tions that ended up moving Inauguration Day. Lengthy lame-duck sessions during times of national crisis were a recipe for in-decision and inaction while the country wait-ed for a new president and a new Congress to take charge and lead.

During the 17-week period between President Abraham Lincoln’s election and his March 4, 1861, inauguration, seven U.S. states seceded from the United States. Lin-coln’s predecessor, James Buchanan, agreed with the incoming president that states did not have the right to secede, but he also be-lieved it was illegal for the government to reunite the country by force. As a result, by the time of Lincoln’s inauguration, the U.S. government had done little to counter the establishment of the independent Confeder-ate States of America and prepare for what was to become the deadliest war in American history.

In another lame-duck period between Franklin D. Roosevelt’s election and his inau-guration on March 4, 1933, the United States was seen to be leaderless for 17 weeks while its economy remained stricken, thousands of banks were bankrupt and one in four Ameri-cans looked for work at the height of the Great Depression.

Many prominent politicians and orga-nizations during the 19th and early 20th centuries saw the danger of having such a long period of time between elections and a government’s transition, but any change required an amendment to the U.S. Consti-tution, a process that was made difficult by

design.Opposition to a long lame-duck session

also developed because lawmakers who were no longer accountable to the voters were able to decide the winners of the presidential and vice presidential elections in the event that no candidate won a majority or the electoral vote was tied.

The effort to shorten lame-duck sessions received renewed public attention immedi-ately after the 1922 election when President Warren Harding tried to force Congress to pass a bill subsidizing the construction of cargo ships, despite intense opposition by or-ganized labor and farm interests and the fact that American voters had recently rejected candidates who supported Harding’s idea.

In response, Senator George Norris of Nebraska proposed what would eventually become the 20th Amendment to the Consti-tution, which called for the new Congress to convene on Jan. 3 and for the president to be inaugurated on Jan. 20.

It would take Norris 10 years to get his amendment approved by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and then ratified by three-fourths of the U.S. states. President Franklin Roosevelt’s first inaugu-ration in 1933 was the last held on March 4. That ineffective lame-duck session during the Great Depression no doubt played a role in speeding up the amendment’s ratification.

Under the 20th Amendment, the newly elected 113th U.S. Congress will begin its work on Jan. 3, 2013, including the task of confirming Cabinet officials and judges Pres-ident Obama has nominated.

Jan. 20 not Ideal for Inaugural Spectators

Ratification of the 20th Amendment sig-nificantly reduced the duration of lame-duck sessions and aided the American tradition of peaceful political transition, but it also forced presidential inaugurations to be held in the dead of winter.

On average, January is Washington’s coldest month, with temperatures ranging from minus 2 to 6 degrees Celsius. For Presi-dent Obama’s first inauguration on Jan. 20, 2009, an estimated 1.8 million people stood in the cold for hours to see the oath of office, listen to his inaugural address and watch the Pennsylvania Avenue parade from the U.S. Capitol to the White House. Much to their discomfort, the temperature never rose above minus 1degree.

But the previous inauguration date had its dangers too.

On March 4, 1841, President William Henry Harrison was sworn in during an overcast day with cool winds and a tempera-ture of 9 degrees. Refusing to wear a hat, coat or gloves, the new president delivered a two-hour inaugural address — the longest in U.S. history — and is believed to have caught a cold.

He developed pneumonia, and, on April 4, Harrison died, making his presidency the shortest in American history.

The Delray Beach Tribune EDITORIALS/LETTERS Highland Beach/Delray Beach, FL

I was penning my column for this edition on the obvious, my New Year’s resolution, when I had to change course to a more somber tone, the bloody mas-sacre in Newtown, Conn.

As a mentor who interacts with about 15 students after school each day, I anticipate hearing about their day.

For me, like many parents, those routines, among the many other mun-dane aspects of parenting, seem simply priceless.

But for those 20 families in that ru-ral town, they would give anything to be able to have one more day of those routines. A lone gunman walked onto the school campus, and from the admin-istrative offices to a classroom, sprayed everyone in sight.

Like all of you, I express sorrow, frustration, and anger at this unspeak-able tragedy. After all, these kids are our kids.

Even though we have clearly seen in the past 15 years - with shootings in places like Littleton, Colo., Jonesboro, Ark., and West Paducah, Ky., - that vio-lence can occur anywhere at any time for any reason, we still feel when we send our kids to school each day that we will have an opportunity to hear about what they learned or what they heard from their friends. This was snatched from the parents at Newtown.

But in fact 142 people were killed in school shootings between 2000 and 2009, and 33 have been killed this year, with 26 in last month’s tragedy.

Psychologists indicate that when a person is suffering from the initial stag-

es of schizophrenia or bi-polar disease, it is common for their anger to be di-rected at common institutions, parents, schools, jobs, people who are perceived to have used authority to somehow slight them in some way.

In the Newtown case, the shooter may have indeed targeted both a school and a parent.

Teachers and administrators are trained in lockdown procedures, class-rooms now have locks on the doors, parents of young children are asked to send a kit of comfort items in the event of a prolonged lockdown that may stir anxiety in the children.

These are procedures like the old bomb drills during the peak of the com-munist scare. These drills protect our kids from people in our own neighbor-hoods, from random acts of violence by mentally and/or emotionally unstable people who have decided that suicide isn’t enough. In the wake of the shoot-ing, there have been lots of chatter on how to prevent such incident here in our community. Share your thoughts on the topic at [email protected].

Kudos to the City of Delray Beach for living up to its moniker as the two-time All-America City. City Com-missioners recently hired Louie Chap-man, Jr., town manager of Bloomfield, Conn., as the City’s next City Manager. Since Delray Beach was incorporated in 1911, there have been 13 city manag-ers. Chapman will be the 14th. He will also be the first person of color to hold the position of the

chief executive officer of this city. (Del-ray Beach has had two African-American assistant managers, Benita Gooch in the 1980s and John Elliott in the early 1990s).

Whatever your opinion is about Delray Beach, this city deserves credit – at least for sending the message that it is open to embracing diversity. It hired its first African-American fire chief, David James, in August 2007. In November 2011, Dani-elle Connor replaced him, becoming the first woman to head the 146-member de-partment. The city recently tapped Tina Heysler as assistant chief of the police department, the first in the department’s history, as well as promoted Michael Cole-man to captain. His promotion also is note-worthy in that the agency now has two

African-American captains, a first. And how can I forget the election of Al Jacquet, bringing the count to two people of color on the City Commission.

Yes, there were oppositions but that’s a part of life.

All these advancements, I must add, oc-curred under City Manager David Harden, who retires this month after 22 years at the helm. We wish him Fair Winds and Fol-lowing Seas, and hope that the progress he started here will continue under Chap-man’s watch.

Back to my New Year’s resolution. Since I’m out of space, how about waiting until next month to hear them? I promise you’ll like them.

Make Cutting Spending a Priority

Is the U.S. debt a real problem? Not right now because interest rates are close to zero. But in the past, the value of the U.S. dollar was maintained by increas-ing the interest rate. In the 1970s, it rose to double digits. With our present debt load, an increase in interest rates will do the U.S. real harm.

Consider: The present U.S. debt is about $16 trillion. That is, $16,000 bil-lion. An increase in the interest rate by

1 percent will cause our annual debt service load to increase by $160 billion. Peanuts? But, if the interest rate rose to 5 percent, which is reasonable, our inter-est payment will rise roughly to what we now borrow each year just to keep going.

The obvious conclusion is that we are literally living on borrowed time. We are already in trouble.

Quit fooling around by raising taxes. Focus on seriously cutting spending.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Douglas HeizerTHOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER

Facing New Begin-nings With Courage!

Everyone should face any new be-ginning with zest and enthusiasm if good things are to emerge from that experience. It is always good to be for-ward-looking, but far better to be for-ward moving!

Looking ahead offers invitations that need to be answered. The future is always calling us, humans, but only

those who respond with decisive action shall benefit from the challenges being presented!

A forward-looking attitude alone will never advance you beyond the status-quo. And that is not the pos-ture anyone desires to observe, for new opportunities are calling us, new chal-lenges await everyone, everywhere!

And challenges are not to be feared but simply to be confronted with courage and decisive action!

New beginnings usually occur after something else has ended. An old year concludes, but a new one immediately arrives, leaving behind both the good and the bad which previously took place. Some things will be repeated, but new projects also await execution and fresh ventures to be launched. Life never stands still!

The same is true with the conclu-sion of one level of schooling. Instead of stopping there, why not consider higher levels which will increase your knowledge and skills, while providing better opportunities ahead? The dif-ficulties to be faced are no reason to desist or be discouraged, for the where-

withal for their execution will always be available!

Just like past events saw countless barriers and diverse problems, any new beginning will also have its share of unpleasant occurrences. Nevertheless, these don’t signify a complete stop but only a momentary detour, or perhaps a meaningful change to ensure the full, legitimate success being sought!

Always remember that no one can ever rush to success. If it is to come, it will always require diligent effort, often accompanied by sweat and tears. All difficulties encountered along the way towards the realization of any project do not signify that they are impossible; it probably only means that the effort will require extra time and labor!

Celebrate 2012 – and Hope for Health and Happiness in 2013

Celebrate!This is the word that comes to

my mind when I express my feelings about 2012.

Please join with me as we celebrate our lives, the health of all my family members, the growth of our business, the services we are doing for our com-munity and all our personal accom-plishments.

Let us celebrate everything that God has given to all of us. Let us thank him for giving us another year and the chance to serve him in 2013.

Hope!This is what keeps us alive and mov-

ing ahead as we enter 2013. I hope for a revival in the nation’s economy. We hope for more jobs, more health for ev-eryone, and we want to make sure that politicians are doing their jobs. We are tired of political game playing, and how we are often left behind while the people we elected decide big issues for our country without thinking about the impact on us, the people they are supposed to represent.

We urgently need immigration re-form, more jobs, and we need less gov-ernment intrusion in our businesses.

I hope that the President, the House and Senate can come together in 2013 and put this country back on track. I believe that America will be

even stronger if they work together. I am convinced that if we all pull to-gether, we will again be the land of the American Dream.

I hope that religion, race and color will no longer be the excuses for war. I hope that we also embrace our free-

dom and let the people follow their personal belief without suppression.

I hope that God can return to be a vital part of our lives, particularly in schools, where tragedies need Divine Intervention. We hope God’s presence is not suppressed, questioned and de-nied by small groups of antagonistic people looking to impose their nar-row-minded beliefs on us.

I hope that the majority of people will be respected in the same way that minorities are.

I hope that God will allow me to see my dreams become true. I hope that my kids can grow and be prosper-ous, not only monetarily, but also filled with human compassion, spirit, love and caring for our family, our friends and all other human beings.

I hope my family remains healthy and that our business can continue to grow.

I hope that you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year!

God Bless Us!Douglas Heizer, Publisher

DELRAY BEACH - With rising gas prices and families still recovering from the economic downturn, scooters are becom-ing an increasingly more popular mode of transportation. They’re also becoming a prime target for theft, police said.

“As of right now there is no obvious reason as to why these vehicles have be-come the hot targets other than they’re easy to steal,” Detective Paul Weber said. “It’s faster and [more fun] to steal a scoot-er than it is a bicycle, and virtually as easy at the moment.”

Since Nov., 30, thieves have swiped 10 scooters from sidewalks and other areas over a four-day period, records show. Six of the thefts occurred between the evening and early morning hours. To date three scooters have been recovered at various lo-cations across the city, police said.

Authorities think they are stolen and used locally for transportation.

“We know the scooters are staying lo-cal,” Weber said.

They’re cheaper and smaller. The tanks are less expensive to fill and the costs of insurance and registration don’t even come close to that of a car. But they also give people a false sense of security, police said. Some scooter owners leave the keys in the

ignition or keep their scooter stored in their garage - with the door open. The combined temptation and convenience contributes to the spike in thefts.

Most, if not all, of the thefts were pre-ventable simply with a good lock, detec-tives said. Authorities have not made any arrest in connection to the thefts to date. But police who see registered but unse-cured scooters are contacting the owners and sharing tips on how they can best pro-tect their rides.

Authorities suggest owners register scooters, invest in a lock, put an alarm sticker in a visible place and park by secu-rity cameras.

“Obviously, many of the low cost scoot-ers are very easy to steal by [breaking] the ignition switch, which also serves as a steering wheel lock,” Weber said. “We are trying to stress the importance of a sec-ondary locking system such as a chain type bike lock and chaining the scooters to a bike rack or other immovable object.”

Detectives are asking anyone seeing suspicious activity involving scooters to contact the police. “Some examples of suspicious activity would be things such as, hiding scooters in the back yard, wires protruding from where the ignition should be, seeing someone riding a scooter who is known to not own one,” Weber said.

The Delray Beach Tribune MUNICIPAL NEWS Highland Beach/Delray Beach, FL

area.Residents have been shaken by bra-

zen incidents in the past weeks. On Dec. 23, two armed men walked into an Atlantic Avenue market and opened fire, killing Reginald Lee Taylor, Jr., 56, and Alfonso Hunter, 68. Less than 12 hours earlier, the same gunmen robbed another, Mario’s, a convenience store just a block and half away in the 1100 block of West Atlantic Avenue, police said.

On Dec. 29, Timothy Finell Walker, Jr., 31, shot and killed Patrick R. Balam, four days before his 33rd birthday, at Pompey Park, authorities said. The shooting was apparently over a woman, police said.

Later that evening, Matthew Miles Toresco, 19, of Boynton Beach, fatally shot Dante Weir, 18, when he opened fire at a house party on Bauhinia Road. A documented member of a street gang, Toresco, has a lengthy criminal record including 10 felony charges with no convictions, criminal records show.

Most of these crimes happened in very public settings here– and all of them within a mile of the heart of this All-America City’s downtown. Such incidents inevitably give communities the jitters, but city officials are espe-cially skittish now because the nation’s violent crime rate is rising after more than a decade of decline, and the stakes are higher.

At 6, the number of homicides all year is still low compared with major American cities, but half of the victims were 33 or younger. The spike in gun violence - particularly among youths - is a setback for a city that led the way in curbing youth violence through law-enforcement sponsored programs over the last decade.

Community leaders say increasing numbers of teens without job oppor-tunities, including a growing number of high school dropouts, are turning to illegal firearms, which activists say are too easily accessible. Fewer police officers on the streets have also caused alarm. And, many say, the coalitions of community activists, clergy, police, and academics that existed in the previous

generation have fragmented, leaving them ineffective today.

MAD DADS, which stands for Men Against Destruction -Defending Against Drugs and Social Disorder, is an anti–drug program, which was founded through a partnership with the police and former drug dealers to help rally the community against drugs. The program, which provided role models for youth through services such as mentoring and midnight basketball, was defunct when an audit found its of-ficials mismanaged the funds, much of which was public dollars.

“Black people made a mistake when we had MAD-DADS,” said the Rev. Ausbee “Ben” Bryant, Jr., a former member of the organization. “We got caught up in some situations, and we were challenged, and instead of allow-ing us to overcome our challenges we were crucified. And in crucifying us, you took away our sense of responsi-bility.”

Gang killings and many other in-stances of youth violence racked the county in the past. Such incidents as the Boynton Beach Mall slaying on Christ-mas Eve 2006, the drive-by shooting death of a 3-month-old child about a week later and the triple murders in Lake Worth that March put Palm Beach County on the national map for gang and youth violence.

The level of violence has declined markedly since then, in part because of increased activity by the county’s violent crimes task force, the sheriff ’s anti-gang unit and its Gangbusters ac-tivities, in which teams of police target high-crime areas.

The sheriff ’s office is not the pri-mary law enforcement agency in the major cities, most of which have their own municipal forces. But those special units, led by the sheriff ’s office, are ac-tive in minority communities all over the county.

Deputies in those units have com-plained that they often do not get the cooperation of residents. The pastors say that is a direct result of the poor relations between law enforcement and the black community.

“It seems to me that the clergymen would get involved with this,” said re-

tired longtime educator Clifford Dur-den, a deacon in his church and the architect in the merger of the white Seacrest High School and the black Carver High in the early 1970s. “I think something like this should be spear-headed by the clergy.”

Coleman said his initiative is de-signed to strengthen communication between city churches. He said pastors can forge a partnership with law en-forcement just by learning what would help police - such as seeing to it that broken street lights get repaired or abandoned cars removed.

“Once we have a relationship with the police, I envision that we would be working on . . . public-safety issues like a broken street light,” Coleman said. “We want to develop a consistent rela-

tionship that will promote and create a movement based on shared responsibil-ity and mutual accountability.”

Ultimately, he hopes, through a mutual relationship, to prevent more crimes and solve them more quickly.

“We’ve had in the past - not so much in the recent incidents - people who witnessed a crime but were reluctant to come forward with information because they were afraid of being labeled a snitch or afraid of retaliation,” he said. “If we don’t get the information right away, we may have to dig and dig and pry for it. But if we have a relationship with the pastors, we can go to them and we may get information that is helpful. Sometimes, that information will be in-correct. We don’t care. We just need the information.”

DELRAY BEACH -- The-atre at Arts Garage has an-nounced that famed playwright Israel Horovitz’s latest work, “Gloucester Blue,” will make its world premiere at the Delray Beach venue on Jan. 25th. Mas-ter story-teller Israel Horovitz continues his “Gloucester Se-ries” of plays, using the intimate locale of Gloucester, Mass., to tell epic stories of sex, murder and intrigue. Horovitz will be in South Florida during the month of January collaborating with di-rector Lou Tyrrell on the production.

“Israel Horovitz

is one of our finest American playwrights living today,” said Tyrrell. “His understanding of what drives human behavior is original, unique and completely theatrical. He is an artistic trea-sure, and to produce a world pre-miere of one of his plays at Arts Garage is a thrill and an honor. ‘Gloucester Blue’ is an example of American playwriting at its best.”

“Gloucester Blue” is a dark

and wicked comedy and refers to a color choice for the walls of a restored harbor-front fish fac-tory cum gentrified residence. But no amount of renovation can gloss over the illicit secret moti-vations and unexpected connec-tions of these characters, when

the working-class world of two house painters collides with the privileged-class owners of this storied property.

“When the best in us gives way to the worst in us, misadven-ture is the best adventure of all, and great theatre is afoot,” said Tyrrell. “Never have our darkest impulses and deepest misbehav-ior been so much fun!

Horovitz has written more

than 70 produced plays, many of which have been translated and performed in more than 30 lan-guages world-wide. His screen-play for the 1982 film, “Author! Author!”, starring Al Pacino, is a largely autobiographical account of a playwright dealing with the stress of having his play pro-duced on Broadway while he tries to raise a large family.

Arts Garage Debuts World Pre-miere Play “Gloucester Blue”

Playwright Israel Horovitz

Michael Gora and Charles Cohen are two prominent Boca Raton lawyers practicing family law. Gora is also a columnist for Boca Raton Tribune ans member of the Artists Guild of Boca Raton Museum of Art.

Both men have found a creative outlet in photography. Their growing body of work has been seen in many galleries and museums.

In June of 2012 Gora and Cohen went to Israel to record the experience through visual images. Their efforts, ti-tled “Reflection of the Holy Land,” are on display for two months from Thurs-day, Jan. 10 at Griffin Gallery Ancient Art at Gallery Center, 608 Banyan Trail, Boca Raton. The artists will meet the public at 5:30 p.m. A group opening is from 6-8 p.m. Jan. 10. The public is invited free of charge.

“We think of it as a road trip,” joked Gora recently. “One the road to Jerusa-lem, like one of those Bob Hope-Bing Crosby movies.”

“I always wanted to go to Israel,” said Charles Cohen. “I am not a partic-ularly religious person, but there is so much there of historical importance.”

The itinerary was planned by a Boca Raton travel agency with the aim of in-cluding Israel’s most important scenic and historic sites. The photographers flew out of Madrid to Ben-Gurion In-ternational Airport in Tel Aviv and to a hotel in Jerusalem.

The first day began with a trip to the biblical Mount of Olives for a pan-oramic view of Old Jerusalem. The men were accompanied by an Israeli guide, Moshe Mor, who lived in Boca Raton for a couple years.

“Many people are concerned about the dangers of traveling to Israel,” al-lows Cohen. “We never felt fear any-place. However, after we left we learned a rocket strike hit near where we stayed in Tel Aviv.”

There are four sectors in Old Jeru-salem: the Armenian, Muslim, Chris-tian and Jewish sections. Once of the most important sites is the Western Wall. It is all that remains of the Sec-

ond Temple from the time of King Herod. It is the most sacred spot for devout Jews. For Christians, the Via Delarosa, or Stations of the Cross, is a must-experience, as is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

New Jerusalem has the Herzl Cem-etery, where three of Israel’s Prime Ministers and several presidents are buried. The men visited Vad Vashem- the Holocaust Museum and the artist’s village of Ein Karem.

Highlights included two nights spent in a kibbutz on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, a stop at Golan Heights and a side trip to the Dead Sea and Ma-sada, which is the most revered symbol of Jewish courage and pride.

Capernaum was a large fishing vil-lage and trade center where the re-mains of a synagogue believed to be one where Jesus taught is located. Nearby is “Peter’s House,” where Jesus lived and did healing.

Other stops included Megiddo (the Armageddon), Mount Carmel and its Druze villages, the ancient seaside town of Caesarea and the old port of Jaffa.

“I’m ready to go back,” vows Cohen. “This time our wives want to go.”

In the quest for innovating in-tegrated menu items for their 32 restaurants on the eastern sea-board, Legal Seafood’s through their Culinary Director, Kevin Watson – developed regionals luncheon specialties.

Meeting with Chef Watson, we were able to sample three soup creations including a New Eng-land clam chowder, quite light yet full bodied with tender clam bits. The Key West soup had a curry spice that was just perfec-tion with the right bite and de-fined taste. We found the yellow gazpacho to be cool and pleasant though it needed a bit more of a chunky body.

A seafood tray consisting of Cape Cod oysters, with the usual red sauce, champagne vinegar sauce and a diced jalapeno sauce that wasn’t too spicy – nice ac-companiment to the cool, crisp bi-valves. The tray also featured littleneck clams and jumbo, deli-cious shrimp.

A swordfish “salad” was a per-fectly seared warm fish steak served with cool cucumber, toma-to, chick peas and strips of fennel – a great luncheon creation. An excellent tuna steak was coated in a fantastic dried spice mixture – if it is on your menu, do try it! We also sampled a Portuguese fisherman stew with mussels, fish, clams and chorizos in a light and slightly sweet broth – a win-ner.

Dessert was a gift box of eight different cookies – each a sweet treat and most creative – this should be most popular for lun-cheons. Future offerings promise to be quite creative and pleasing as well.

Legal Seafood’s updates menus through the seasons to offer the freshest items available. We en-joyed our introduction to new items and suggest you…Go and enjoy!

“In my dream, I was walking down a corridor, and all of a sudden, my watch exploded in a million fragments. Wouldn’t you thing that two months prior to my diagnosis body was telling my mind what was about to happen? Yes, indeed it did.”

Local banker Eva Preste detailed her journey with breast cancer in a journal style memoir, “My Journey through Breast Cancer,” of her revelation of the disease and how it changed her life.

In February 2011, her doctor found a suspicious lump during a routine checkup. A week later, she had a mam-mogram and ultrasound and asked her husband to “hurry over” when the re-sults came in.

Preste’s story is not a tale of de-spair, it’s a story of awakening and the reality of how the body often gives us signals but we place more importance

on things that don’t matter much in the long run.

“I was always on the run, hardly ever talking time to listen to my inner wisdom,” said Preste, who has worked in the local financial industry for 20 years. “The signals were there, but I ig-nored them. I tried to make believe that they didn’t exist, and then the unspeak-

able happened, I was di-agnosed with breast can-cer.”

For Preste, who stud-ied journalism at Buffalo State College, writing a book was cathartic. As the discovery of her dis-ease was so fast, Journal-ing became her vehicle of deliverance from an abyss. Writing in her journal allowed Preste to spend time and make some sense of this sur-real dream. By exploring deep within her, she be-gan to develop clarity in the midst of a storm. Af-ter yielding to the higher power, it helped her wel-come the beauty of the entire situation.

“We just don’t beat breast cancer we deal with it in a positive man-ner, accept it, and use ourselves as role models and support systems to

others,” said Preste, a cancer coach, cer-tified hypnotist and operator of a well-ness center in Fort Lauderdale.

Preste, who does public speaking, now sees life as a journey. She encour-ages all to live life in the moment, for-get about the past and don’t worry about the future.

“Our destiny has been laid out in front of us,” she said. “Control what you can and allow life’s events to flow as they should. We must be in sync with the natural progression of things.”

If you were in a band back in the 1960s, you will really relate to “Not Fade Away.”

I was and I did. However my com-panion, a woman 15 years younger than I, couldn’t see what the big deal was.

“Not Fade Away” is a highly per-sonalized memoir by “Sopranos” creator David Chase, 67.

Chase, who is two years older than I, dreamed of being a star drummer in a rock ‘n’ roll band. As a teenager he played the sock hops, keggers and teen clubs of suburban New Jersey.

As a teenager I did the same thing, only in South and Central

Florida. Like Chase I was strongly influenced by the “British Invasion” bands such as the Beatles, Kinks, Animals and Rolling Stones.

The latter group did a version of the Buddy Holly song “Not Fade Away,” which gives the film its title. Wouldn’t you know my most suc-cessful group played that very song, with me up front singing and shak-ing my maracas like Mick Jagger.

Neither Chase nor I became a rock star, but we still have a pro-found love for the music of our high school and college era.

And so I am a big sucker for Chase’s story of a garage band’s struggles, dreams and disappoint-ments. The main character is Doug-las (John Magaro), a curly-haired drummer who discovers he is more valuable as a singer.

Douglas’ best girlfriend and No. 1 fan is the willowy, winsome Grace (Bella Heathcote), who looks like a cross between Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy. Those were “Mod Era” fashion models for those too young to know.

The band has its typical squab-bles, rivalries and misunderstand-ings. Some band members always dream bigger than others and some

are more single-minded in their career pursuit. Then there are the inevitable ob-jections of parents, played by James Gandolfini and Molly Price, who can’t un-derstand why their nice boy wants to be such a noisy ruffian.

This is probably not so interesting for those who have never been there, but believe me, Chase’s fable rings true in a fleeting, mel-

ancholy way. No, it will never fade away for me either.

A Disaster of Impossible Pro-portions

There are disasters and then there is “The Impossible,” a Spanish film from the makers of the chilling thriller “The Orphanage,” includ-ing director Juan Antonio Bayona and screenwriter Sergio G. Sanchez, working with real-life survivor Ma-

ria Belon.The family’s nationality is

changed from Spanish to British. Maria is played by Naomi Watts. Her husband Henry Belon is played by Ewan McGregor.

The couple is on a Christmas vacation at a posh seaside resort in Thailand. The stage is set with fes-tive holiday trappings and carefree sun and fun. Unbeknownst to any-one, one of the worst natural disas-ters is about to happen. A tsunami, spawned by earthquakes far away, hit Asia with a massive wall of wa-ter on Dec. 26, 2004.

“The Impossible” is a saga of re-lentless, unpitying destruction of everything in the tsunami’s path. When the wave hits, Maria is sep-arated from her husband, but she miraculously finds her eldest son Lucas (Tom Holland), and the two literally cling together for survivor.

Both Watts and McGregor are powerful professionals, but the real surprise is young Tom Holland in a star-making turn.

“The Impossible” gets a bit re-lentless and mired literally in the mud and debris, but it is one of the

best-made, most convincing disas-ter movies of all time.

A Treat for Garage band Members of a Certain Age



A parent receives a call “Sorry to inform you about the death of your daughter. She was killed by her hus-band or boyfriend”. This scene occurs virtually every day, somewhere and at some point it may affect those close to us. When it does take place there are sometimes two very common phrases “He was such a good guy” and “We never saw it coming”. Typically, when we are in relationships, we never see the most destructive possibilities un-til they occur. We don’t pay attention to the blinking red lights or red flags, because our thoughts are frequently focused on love.

How many lives do you think can be impacted by a single moment of anger that manifests itself in hate or revenge? First we impact the chil-dren, parents, siblings, loving aunts, uncles and cousins. What about those friends who are often more supportive and closer than family and don’t for-get the co-workers a person has spent years with.

When Jovan Belcher, an NFL player age 25 decided that he was angry enough to take the life of his 22 year old girlfriend ( victim no. 1), the mother of their 3 month old baby (victim no.2) early in December, who saw it coming? Mr. Belcher and Kasandra Perkins had been arguing regularly and were receiving coun-seling provided by the Kansas City Chiefs football team. Mr. Belcher since his death has been described as a nice guy, a good team mate, and some-one who worked very hard to obtain his position on the Chiefs team. If he was such a good guy, why did he do such a bad thing? The answer to that question may be as difficult and com-plex as any imaginable. We will all be left wondering why.

Through years of talking to con-sumers of our services, I’m convinced that if you never have a positive pre-ventive conversation your emotional position has no protective point of reference. Simply put, if you never

discussed what can happen and how to prevent it, you will be unaware un-til it occurs. Then it’s often too late.

How often do parentsengage in a personal vendetta against their mate in front of the kids, sometimes leav-ing them exposed to violence or even murder and suicide? The most hei-nous of parental behaviors can some-times leave the children dead.When your man or woman used violence to achieve a purposedid you choose the correct mate? If the partner of a vio-lent person allows the violence to be a way of life are they guilty too? All of us should think about what we see in our own homes, where love is sup-posed to be the foundation. Are you condoning, covering-up or colluding with a hard working ready to explode partner?

After reading this reflect on your interpretation of what your home life was like growing up. Were you part of an angry home where fear, re-venge, aggression or violence was fre-quent? Are you trained emotionally not to become a Jovan Belcher? What can you do to prevent it?

Mr. Belcher had a lot of family, friends and fans who will miss him and always love him. Kasandra Per-kins did nothing to cause her life to end and shetoo will be mourned for years.Now, we focus of thebaby. What will her life be like; will she have sin-cere parental love? Will she live with an unfulfilled void because of not having her parents? Will her fathers’ actions leave her filled with anger? How will her hurt and anger manifest itself ?

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLEBy Mike Gora

NO BRAINERQ: I am in the process of getting

divorced from a cop after an eighteen year marriage. He has a good salary, I don’t. He has a pension plan, all saved during the marriage, I don’t. He can af-ford to pay me some alimony and child support, he won’t.

I know he won’t because we were at the office of the mediator in the court-house, you know the cheaper kind and, after two hours he walked out because he refused to agree to any reasonable settlement, taking the position that since he earned it all was his.

He said that our legislature was go-ing to ban permanent alimony next year, and if he did not agree to alimony in a contract he would be able to get out of a judge ordered permanent ali-mony after the new legislation passes.

Is he correct? Is our Republican legislature continuing the “War on Women” that I heard about during the presidential campaign?

A: Your cop seems to be a little right and a lot wrong. As to his wish to keep all of the marital assets for himself because he “earned it” he has no chance of success. The equitable distribution statute is virtually bullet proof when it comes to equally split-ting marital assets that is anything ac-cumulated during the marriage as the result of marital labor and savings. So far the legislature is not messing with that concept.

On the other hand he appears to be right about the suggested demise of periodic “permanent” alimony. Un-der the proposed new statute a judge would not be able to award permanent periodic alimony but will have the pow-er to grant “durational” alimony for a number of years equal to or less than the length of the marriage after the first seven years of marriage.

Additionally, the proposed new stat-ute proposes a right granted to anyone who was divorced within two years be-fore the passage of the legislation to go back to court to change the alimony plan from permanent to durational or less.

There is a quirk in that process: (1) if the permanent periodic alimony is agreed to in a marital settlement agree-ment, a contract, it is unlikely that a court could set it aside due to the con-stitutional protection granted to con-tract rights, but (2) if the permanent award came after a trial and judgment there would be no bar to the application of the proposed new statute.

In years of practice I have never met a man who wanted to give his wife alimony, of any kind. Apparently there were a couple of men in the legisla-ture, who had recently undergone the divorce process, who have started and pushed the pending legislation. Sounds like sour grapes.

New Year’s Resolution…Lead Well

FAITHBy Casey Cleveland

“If we lose sight of people, we lose sight of the very purpose of leader-ship.” Tony Dungy

So it is here once again. The New Year is upon us and we find ourselves thinking about new beginnings, fresh starts, and a bright future. We usu-ally prepare for this time by pondering what might be different or better for the year to come. Better known as New Year’s resolutions.

As a pastor, I love this time of year because it reminds me of the newness of life, forgiveness of sin, and freedom from the past, that Jesus promises can be found in Him. And with this new-ness, forgiveness, and freedom come an amazing privilege and response from those who have been touched by this love of God. We are set in motion, given a purpose, called…to love God, to love others, and to share this good news.

That is awesome. Seriously, think about it for a moment. Being trans-formed by the love of God is not just for us. It is totally not about us…this should be both relieving and refresh-ing. So then who is it about, really? The Bible tells us it is about God, His glory, loving Him and enjoying him forever. And one of the very practical applications of being a part of God’s story is loving others well. If we are to truly move in this direction we should consider how well we are leading those within our sphere of influence. Because we all have leadership opportunities, all of us. And leading people gives us an incredible opportunity in loving people. May I just encourage you with the truth that God has placed specific people in your life that can be forever changed based on the way you speak into their life. Anyone from your daughter, to a

child you coach, to your employee, to a neighbor. Your influence is huge, and you are accountable. So…

Back to your New Year’s resolutions. Would you consider this year making a priority, a goal, a resolution, in the area of your leadership? I challenge you think through and specifically name those God has placed in your life to in-fluence. I challenge you to begin pray-ing for them by name. And I challenge you to commit yourself, as a leader this year, to the following 4 C’s of leader-ship as developed by Bill Hybels.

1. Character2. Competency3. Chemistry4. CallingCharacter must always be first be-

cause if this goes so does your lead-ership. Commit yourself this year to being honest about any areas you are tempted to compromise your integrity. And then pursue the absolute opposite of your compromise. Competency is critical no matter if you are CEO or mom, or both. Commit yourself this year to learning how to do your job better. Read a book, take a course, get a mentor. Do something, move forward somehow. Chemistry is a must between those you are leading and yourself. How effective can you be with someone who feels they are not valued or even liked? Commit yourself to developing a deeper relationship this year with those you lead. And last but not least is call-ing. There is no greater way to ensure your calling as a leader than by read-ing the Bible. Really. Because only in the pages of God’s story can you fully see your place and purpose within your own story.

Lead well this year.

Much Love-Casey

EMPLOYMENT

The ADT Corporation, a provider of electronic security, interactive home and business automation and alarm monitoring services, will bring 120 new jobs over the next two years to its corporate headquarters in Boca Ra-ton, Gov. Rick Scott has announced. These new jobs will add to the nearly 700 ADT employees already based in South Florida.

“Not only is ADT’s continuing growth in Florida a win for the state’s business community and the economy, but it’s a significant benefit to Florida’s families as well,” Scott said. “The jobs and career opportunities that will come with this expansion are vital to our ef-forts for getting Florida back to work. Additionally, ADT’s progress validates that Florida is on the right track for cre-ating an environment where businesses can succeed.”

The state of Florida, Enterprise Flor-ida, the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County and the city of Boca Raton have been important part-ners in this successful corporate expan-sion project. The creation of these new

corporate positions at ADT will span legal, human resources, information technology and other functional areas.

Each of those entities “played a piv-otal role in helping us to expand our footprint here in South Florida,” said Naren Gursahaney, ADT’s chief execu-tive officer. “We look forward to part-nering with state and local leaders to help us hire passionate and skilled em-ployees who share ADT’s commitment to helping save lives.”

Kelly Smallridge, president and CEO of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, is de-lighted by the announcement.

work, offering terrific amenities and a positive work environment for its em-ployees,” she said.”
