Bocaire Completes Contemporary, Inviting Clubhouse
As Key Phase Of $10.5 Million Makeover
From reflecting pools and waterfalls lining a beautiful
breezeway to creative ceiling fixtures and custom carpeting
throughout, Bocaire Country Club’s newly renovated
clubhouse exudes elegance and style while merging form
with function.
A large part of the $10.5 million in recent renovations
at Bocaire was spent on the extensive remodeling of the
clubhouse by Edward Cox Interiors of Miami, resulting in
a bold new contemporary environment.
“Our clubhouse is an extension of each member’s home,”
says Bocaire’s Chief Executive Officer Russell Carlson.
“We wanted to make a statement with something warm and
inviting for our members and guests.”
Carefully crafted during six months of renovation, the
new clubhouse is filled with elaborate and elegant touches
throughout, and includes major design changes, such as
shifting the bar area from the south end of the building to the
center, so that it is now adjacent to the main dining room.
Guests arriving at the clubhouse, which reopened at the
end of January, will immediately notice the many dramatic
enhancements, from new pavers along the clubhouse drive
to a portico with a high, wood-paneled ceiling and modern
lighting fixtures.
Reflecting pools with small fountains line either
side of the breezeway, as do
understated waterfalls on either
side of the doors leading into a
lobby with large contemporary
paintings above all-new sofas
and soft chairs.
A stunning lighting fixture
featuring 10,000 “shells” forms
the centerpiece of the lobby
area and is accented by sconces
of the same design.
As they approach the
main dining area, guests will
encounter elaborate cast-iron
grillwork featuring a gardenlike design. Opening the large
glass and metal doors, they will
first catch a glimpse of the new
lounge with its marble bar and
contemporary new furnishings
before looking out through
large glass windows onto wellmanicured fairways and greens.

lobby includes new artwork, as well as wrought iron

226 Broken Sound Club Members
And Guests Tee Off
...At 4th Annual
“Golf Fore America’s Bravest”
Tournament
By Bonnie Kaye of Kaye Communications
All across the country, U.S. servicemen and women
continue to return home from tours of duty overseas and
in the Middle East. Unfortunately, many brave souls are
not able to return to a normal life following catastrophic
injuries sustained on the battlefield. So, participating in
the fourth annual event at Broken Sound Club, a patriotic
troop of 226 members and their guests “chipped in” to
raise much-needed funds to benefit the Tunnel to Towers
Foundation in partnership with the Gary Sinese Foundation
and Wounded Warrior Project at a “Golf Fore America’s
Bravest” tournament in March, in order to give injured
soldiers a more accommodating “Smart Home” through
the Building For America’s Bravest program.

Woodfield Executive
Chef Wins ‘Country
Club Chef Showdown’
Bart Messing,
the executive chef at
Wo o d f i e l d C o u n t r y
Club, came away with
top honors at the recent
Third Annual Country
Club Chef Showdown,
an event benefiting
Hospice of Palm Beach
County Foundation.
The areas’ top
country club chefs went
knife-to-knife in the
contest using the same
main ingredient in each Bart Messing
recipe: the Sunchoke.
Messing won the event with a creative medley titled
“The Sunchoke Trio,” which was comprised of Sunchoke
and Wild Mushroom Pave, Diver Scallop and Sunchoke
Puree, and Sunchoke Gnocchi.
“It was a lot of fun coming up with creative recipes
using this root vegetable,” said Messing. “Basically, we
created three separate appetizers which appealed to the
judges. Each chef prepared outstanding recipes and we all
look forward to next year’s event.”
The event also had a time element in that the chefs had

in Afghanistan in 2011. Just three months after the second
tournament, Harrow, a decorated soldier himself, stepped
on a live IED while on duty and was severely injured.
Previously known as the “Wounded Warrior Project” for
the first two years, the event expanded and was renamed
by Broken Sound Club last year to benefit the Tunnel to
Towers Foundation.
This year’s tournament kicked off with a presentation
of colors by a local fire department’s color guard in full
uniform, as “America’s Tenor,” Danny Rodriguez, sang the
national anthem. He is known as “The Singing Policeman”
for his role as one of the NYPD’s designated national
anthem singers who received widespread attention with
his rendition of “God Bless America”, which he sang at
memorial events and on television in the aftermath of the
September 11th terrorist attacks. To support the tournament
and recognize Broken Sound Club’s commitment to
supporting U.S. military, Broken Sound was chosen as
home to the Palm Beach County debut of the new Tunnel
to Towers mobile Never Forget Exhibit that is currently
touring the U.S., which was on display all day for members
and guests to take a guided tour through real World Trade
Center debris.
The awards luncheon at the conclusion of the tournament
featured: Frank Siller, chair of the Tunnel to Towers
Foundation, who recounted his brother Steven Siller’s
heroic march to the burning World Trade Center building
through the Brooklyn Battery tunnel in full firefighter gear;
Wounded Veterans U.S. Marine Corporal Todd Love, who
described his experience with the Smart House he was
provided through the Building For America’s Bravest
program, and U.S. MC Retired Sergeant Mike Nicholson,
who told his story of his life upon returning and dealing
with his injury as he eagerly awaits the next Smart Home
to be built for him at the end of this year.
During the performance of “God Bless America” by
Danny Rodriguez, patriotic painter Scott Lobaido, known
for his “Flags Across America” painting project that
took him across all 50 states, speed-painted the WTC’s
Twin Towers on a backdrop of the American flag. The
painting was auctioned off to raise $6,000 for Building
For America’s Bravest. Also participating on behalf of the
City of Boca Raton was Mayor-Elect Susan Haynie and
Boca Raton City Council Member Mike Mullaugh, who is
a Broken Sound Club resident.
“I’m so proud of the overwhelming support and
generosity demonstrated by the members of Broken Sound
Club to help a diverse group of veterans who have made
such a life-altering sacrifice,” said Caragliano. “With more
and more soldiers coming home and living through their
injuries, and these Smart Homes costing up to $500,000
to build, every contribution is crucial, and Broken Sound
Club has committed to making its mark in this collective
effort.”
The Tunnel To Towers Foundation – created to honor
Stephen Siller, a first responder firefighter hero who raced
through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel in full gear and later
died when the Twin Towers collapsed – launched Building
for America’s Bravest with support from the Gary Sinese
Foundation. The program constructs Smart Homes for
military returning home with devastating injuries. Smart
Homes are custom designed, on a case-by-case basis,
specially adapted to address the individual needs of our
most severely injured U.S. military personnel.
Building for America’s Bravest helps to restore their
ability to live a life of independence, and is our way to
show our profound gratitude for all they have sacrificed.
The Wounded Warrior Project raises awareness and enlists
the public’s aid for the needs of injured servicemen and
women, to help them aid and assist each other, and to
provide unique, direct programs to meet their needs.

“It was an exciting evening and all of the chefs had a good
time exchanging recipes and ideas for how to improve the

Delray Medical Center Answers How To Cope
With Allergy Season
Ah, spring. The weather’s getting warmer and the
flowers and trees are blooming. You want to spend more
time outside enjoying the great weather, and then it hits.
Your sinuses clog up, your eyes are running and you’re
sneezing your head off.
Welcome to seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever
or allergic rhinitis. As many as one in five people have
symptoms of allergic rhinitis. The timing of the symptoms
depends on what is causing the allergic reaction. For some
people, spring brings the worst of the symptoms. Others
can react more in summer and fall, when grasses and weeds
are pollinating. Some people react to allergens like spores,
dust mites, cockroaches and pet dander that cause symptoms
throughout the year.
You may be more at risk for developing hay fever if you
have other allergies or asthma. The tendency to develop
allergies usually runs in families, and men are more likely
to develop hay fever. If you were exposed to secondhand
smoke when you were a baby, you may be more likely to
develop allergic rhinitis.
While hay fever isn’t considered a serious health risk,
it can disrupt your life. Symptoms can interfere with your
ability to participate in daily activities, and you may have
to miss school or work. The congestion can affect your
sleep. Anyone who has asthma in addition to hay fever
may notice that their asthma symptoms worsen when their
seasonal allergies hit. Children with hay fever may develop
inner-ear infections. Allergic rhinitis also can contribute to
developing sinusitis and secondary sinus infections.
Treating Seasonal Allergies
So what can you do? There are several over-the-counter
allergy medications designed to treat allergy symptoms.
Make sure you read the label on these medications and that
they are age-appropriate, since some are only intended to
treat adults. Also check for possible drug interactions if you
are on other medications.
If your symptoms become severe, talk to your doctor.
There are several prescription medications designed to treat
these types of allergies. You also may need to see an allergy
specialist to get tested for allergies. These tests help doctors
develop a tailored treatment that may include allergy shots
that help desensitize your body to the things you react to.
You may want to try other at-home treatments such
as using a sinus rinse or wash to gently clear mucus and
allergens from your nasal and sinus passages. A neti pot
or an infant nasal squeeze bulb can be used for your sinus
washes. You can either buy a prepared solution or mix ¼
teaspoon of table salt with two cups of warm water. Make
sure you mix a new solution each time to prevent bacteria
from building up in the water.
Other ways to help you avoid airborne allergens include:
• Keep your doors and windows closed and use your air
conditioner at home and in the car.
• Don’t hang laundry, especially bedding, outside.
• Pollen counts are higher in the early morning, so limit
your outdoor activity during those hours.
• Stay inside when it’s windy outside.
• Replace your air conditioner filters monthly and use
a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.
• Wear a dust mask when you’re outside, especially for
activities like gardening.
• If possible, avoid mowing the lawn or raking leaves,
since these activities send more pollen into the air.
Look for ways to keep your bedroom an allergen-free
zone. You can use special cases that enclose your pillows,
mattress and box springs to limit exposure to dust mites.
Bedding should be washed weekly in hot water to kill dust
mites. Pets should not be allowed to sleep in the bedroom.
If possible, remove carpeting from bedrooms and use
washable rugs instead.
To find a physician that specializes in the treatment of
allergies, call Delray Medical Center at 1 (800) 897-9789.

Hair’s The Story ...
Highlighting The Affects
And Solutions For Moderate
To Severe Hair Loss
By Cathy Phillips, L.C.
Owner of Hair Loss
Alternatives Inc.
There are a large variety of
hair loss alternatives available
for men and women. It can be
overwhelming and intimidating.
Nonsurgical hair replacements
and hair enhancements have
advanced dramatically over
the past 20 years. Visiting a
specialist with the knowledge
and expertise in the business
is the key to a successful transition into the hair you have
yearned to get back.
Hair loss can happen to people of all ages. It can affect
men, women and children. Knowing more about what causes
hair loss and what alternatives are available when it happens
is half the battle. Having information empowers you to make
decisions before the hair loss becomes extreme.
Many times hair loss can be the result of medications
such as those used for gout or blood pressure or commonly
prescribed beta blockers. Physical stress such as surgery,
extreme weight loss or even weight gain, or an illness such
as thyroid abnormalities can cause the follicle and hair to go
into an extended resting phase, and as we all know, heredity
also plays a large roll in whether or not you may have thinning
hair or a receding hair line.
Most men who are experiencing hair loss only have a short
window to do something about it before it becomes worse.
You want to make the transition without others noticing
that something is different. At Hair Loss Alternatives we
have creative ways of making it easier. One of the illusions
used with men is to have them grow facial hair before they
receive their new look. Then on the day that the new style
Before After
is scheduled, the client shaves the facial hair off. Friends and
family may notice something different but will automatically
assume it’s because you shaved your beard and/or mustache.
Usually the next comment is “Wow, you look much younger.”
They don’t even realize it’s the addition of the fuller head of
hair that is giving you the younger look. With such strong
competition in today’s workplace, there is no shame in making
an investment in maintaining a more youthful appearance.
For men and women making a decision to do something
about your hair loss can be nerve-racking, but remember that
you have everything to gain (including a natural looking head
of hair) and nothing to lose. Starting early makes the transition
much easier. Friends and family may even begin to comment
on how nice your hair looks, but won’t quite know why.
Stop by Hair Loss Alternatives for your complimentary
consultation. The consultation is completely confidential and
will only take 30 minutes of your time. You will be shown
all the alternatives that are available to you. There really is
a solution for every hair loss situation.
I look forward to meeting new clients and giving them
the compassion they deserve and the confidence they desire.
Cathy Phillips is the owner of Hair Loss Alternatives, a
licensed cosmetologist and hair replacement specialist with

Dating
The Singles Scene Column©
By Kelly Leary©, M.S.
President & Founder of
Revolution Dating
Hot Off the Press!
Premier matchmaking
and events service
launches new hub in Palm
Beach Gardens
This month I am so
excited to announce the
launch of Revolution Dating,
an upscale dating and events
club which will be delivering more love and friendship to
single, divorced, and widowed adults in Florida. My long-term
team and I have been working overtime planning parties and
benefits for all of you. “It’s not what you know, it’s who you
know”...and we know some amazing single men and women!”
Our office location is the icing on the cake! Located near
Spoto’s Oyster Bar, Rocco’s Tacos, and Vic & Angelo’s
Restaurants, three great date spots. In the past, businesses like
ours have been located “high in the tower” hidden away from
the general public. Today, with online dating & matchmaking
becoming mainstream, placing our new office right in the mix
of the hottest restaurants in town is ideal. Many who have
been on the fence will now feel more comfortable calling
us. Revolution Dating has been called the “hottest gig in
town” by many singles touting that “this is going to be the
best way to meet other quality singles!”
After two decades of success in the industry, I feel
driven to raise the bar for our many friends and clients. I
am excited to introduce new types of events from “Oscar
Night” to “Ballroom Dance Events” to “Yoga Workshop”
to “Tandem Kayaking.” Our goal is to attract date-worthy
professional and retired singles. Between my 23 years in the
business, and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology,
my talents rival some of the best in the U.S.A.! I’m happy
to bring it all to YOU...making the gap from “single” to
“taken” very easy!
Since 1991, I’ve helped thousands aged 25-85 find
friendship and romance. Last year, I celebrated another
record year of successful matches, and I can’t wait to
increase the numbers in 2014! The majority of my clients
report a positive dating experience which means they are
now engaged, married or happily dating.
Our client base ranges from Vero Beach to Broward
County. Everyone is screened which includes background
checks. Once a client of Revolution Dating, perks
abound. Membership includes a professional photo shoot,
profile-writing assistance, one-on-one date coaching,
image consulting, and/or even personal shopping to get
you ready for your first date. We also have an expert who
will help get your home “relationship ready” post-divorce
or break-up. There is even a “Millionaires Only Circle”
available as an option. For some, we will even plan the
date for you by request!
We are here to jump start your love life! Our parties are
private for our friends and members, unlike other singles
events where anyone can attend. As always, our events are

The evening of March 5 was festive, indeed, as over
100 of some of Palm Beach’s most noted and philanthropic
residents gathered at the elegant furniture showroom of
Roche Bobois for a reception and auction for the Mary
Rubloff YWCA Harmony House. The facility, owned and
operated by the YWCA of Palm Beach County, is one of
only two state-certified Palm Beach County shelters for
women and children who are victims of domestic violence. In
addition to hosting the event, Roche Bobois donated several
hundred thousand dollars in brand-new home furnishings
to the shelter, plus a signature, leather sectional sofa for
auction. As tuxedo-clad servers passed gourmet delicacies
and violin music filled the air, the guest of honor, tennis icon
Venus Williams, made an understated but much-anticipated
entrance.
Williams, who is also owner and CEO of Jupiter,
Florida-based V Starr Interiors, singled out Harmony
House as her charity of choice for this special event. As an
unexpected “sports interlude,” Williams and Julien Bigan,
communications director, Roche Bobois USA, actually
volleyed a tennis ball over the back of the sofa to liven up the

Hairball Awareness
By Flavia Tompkins, Boca
Village Animal Hospital
April 30th is National
Hairball Awareness Day.
If you have a cat, you’ve
probably dealt with hairballs
at one time or another. Most
frequently, a cat owner
becomes aware of an issue
when the cat vomits a long
tubular mass of hair, a hairball.
Hairballs occur as a
result of your cat grooming and swallowing hair. All cats
groom themselves. Swallowing hair when they do so is a
normal occurrence. They can swallow up to two-thirds of
their loose hair. Normally, the cat’s digestive system is able
to handle the hair and it simply passes through the intestinal
tract and out in the feces. You may be noticing hair in the
stool and in extreme cases it can even cause constipation.
However, in some instances, rather than passing through the
intestinal tract, the hair is vomited instead. This may seem
like the cat is “coughing” up a hairball.
Shedding is a natural process of losing dead hair, longhaired cats are more susceptible to hairballs, such as Persians
and Maine Coons, but any cat can get them. Outdoor cats
may lose more hair in the spring and fall and retain more
fur in the winter, while indoor cats can shed all year round.
However if you see bald patches in your cat’s fur or notice
a significant loss of hair, the underlying cause may be a
health-related problem like allergies, parasites, infections
or disease and should be investigated by a veterinarian.
Regularly grooming your cat is one of the best things you
can do to prevent hairballs. This will keep your cat’s hair coat
free of tangles and mats while also keeping his skin healthy.
Also vacuuming hair from your house should minimize the
inconvenience of shedding and limit the amount of hair that
your cat swallows. Less hair ingested means fewer hairballs
being produced.
There are a number of products, remedies and commercial
cat food marketed to help prevent and control hairballs.
Most of them are petroleum based and work by lubricating
the gastrointestinal tract. Diets higher in fiber work on the
assumption that the fiber helps keeps the gastrointestinal tract
moving normally. These may be effective for some cats but
are not effective in all cases. Discuss your cat’s situation with
your veterinarian before beginning administering any product.
Regular exercise helps with digestion and makes your
cat’s body run better. If your cat goes outdoors, he or she
probably gets plenty of exercise. However, an indoor cat
can easily miss good exercise so it is important to play with
your cat each day so it gets valuable exercise. Also, keep
your cat well hydrated. Help encourage cats to drink water
by putting water in places where the cat will least suspect.
Running water from a faucet can also stimulate drinking.
Another way to assure your pet remains healthy is to
schedule your furry friend for a wellness exam every six months.
Ultimately the best thing to do is to brush your cat daily.
Maintaining a healthy coat is easy and can be an enjoyable
bonding time for both of you and your cat.
Business Spotlight
Are You Good At Everything?
Some people believe they’re good at everything, do
you? We’re all wired differently; some people are “right
brain” logical thinkers while others are “left brain” creative
thinkers. Some people may be fortunate enough to be good
at everything but for most of us, we tend to perform certain
tasks easily and do them well but struggle with others.
Small business owners and people handling their
own personal affairs often run into the dilemma of task
management. In our fast paced world where time is a
premium commodity, we tend to complete the tasks we’re
good at doing and like to do while leaving other tasks undone.
This can be a costly practice, especially if there are deadlines
involved or other people counting on our actions.
2014 is still a “new year” so there’s time to get on track
and stay on course. Answer these questions to determine if
you’re in the fast lane or stranded on the side of the road:
• Do you end most days with unfinished business, projects
or errands?
• Are you unprepared for upcoming business or personal
events?
• Do you often wish there were more hours in a day?
• Would having reliable, trustworthy assistance on-call
improve your business and/or personal life?
• Do tasks stay on your “to do” list longer than they should?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re

Ask Dr. G …
Why Is Your Hospice’s Slogan
‘Live Every Day To The
Fullest?’
(Reader Submitted)
People sometimes
ask me if hospice care is
depressing. In fact, it’s
quite the opposite: I am
so honored to witness lives
that have truly come alive.
As a physician at Hospice
of Palm Beach County
and Broward County, I am
amazed by the fearlessness
of our patients, as they live
and embrace each day. It’s something we all could learn, no
matter where we are in life.
When patients and families come to us, they are often
managing multiple appointments with multiple specialists.
The last things on their mind are smelling the roses or sand
between their toes. Hospice care lifts some of the stress so
families can refocus on each other.
I had a patient who was homebound and wanted to take
a trip with his son to Disney World. We taught him how to
administer his medication and contacted a hospice in Orlando
in case he needed help. The logistics, however, aren’t what
made this trip possible. The chance to have a hospice team
behind him made him the “pilot,” where he could imagine
new possibilities.
I had another patient who was near death, but wanted to
drink a beer and watch a baseball game. Our doctors and
nurses were able to adjust his medication so his body could
handle the excitement. He was able to enjoy that time with
friends and family, one of life’s simple pleasures.
What would you do if you knew you had six months to
live? I believe there are two options: you can either succumb
to fear, doing everything possible to delay it, or you can focus
on living each day to the fullest. The latter is much easier
said than done. When you’re faced with a serious illness you
forget about the life that happens between appointments. The
biggest lesson my patients have taught me is to make every
day special.
The ultimate example is the patient in an assisted living
facility who had cancer. When she was admitted into hospice
care, she decided to have a party celebrating her life. She
asked all of her friends and family to come and share the
wonderful things they had to say about her, reminisce about
the good times and plan more time to share their love.
“Hospice” is simply this: a team of professionals who

On Thursday, March 13
By Carol Porter
The Eighth Annual Festival of the Arts was held in Boca
Raton from March 6 through March 15 at various locations
in Boca Raton, with such incredible guests as Anna Deavere
Smith, Barbara Schmidt, Arturo Sandoval, Doris Kearns

Doris Kearns Goodwin spoke on March 13 at the Mizner

help patients determine their own care and experiences. We
have doctors and nurses who help alleviate the pain and
symptoms our patients face. Integrative therapists provide
massage, music and aromatherapy to ease the discomfort as
well. Social workers come in and help patients with whatever
they want to resolve before they pass. Volunteers provide
respite for caregivers. Our goal is to lift the burden off of
families so that they can turn their attention to living and
loving.
Many days I think to myself, “I couldn’t ask for a better
teacher than the patients I serve.” Hopefully their journeys
will serve to inspire your story as well.

Dining Out:
This Madison’s Should Have A Subway Stop!
By Alan Serinsky
of Bocaire Country Club
Madison’s New York Grill & Bar
2600 NW Executive Center Circle
(561) 994-0808
Observations: Ok! They say
the third time is a charm, and
hopefully this new restaurant can live up to those words.
We all know this location, and we have seen many rises
and falls of eating establishments on this frontage of Glades
Road. Let’s test your memories. First it was the California
Pizza Kitchen that soon morphed into the Rascal House
that moved slightly to the east and molded into the Copper
Canyon, which then mutated into a French bistro called
Stephane.
Why can’t restaurateurs figure out that Boca is a place like
no other? With our wallets jammed with credit cards, all we
ask is for great service, great booze, great food and, of course,
great portions (so we have lunch for the next two days).
Well, hopefully, this new Houston-like restaurant can
learn its Boca lessons quickly!
First Impressions: Not much décor has changed since
Stephane’s, but a few infrastructure modifications will
hopefully pay off big for this new chain out of Montreal.
First, the bar has been expanded to a comfortable rectangular
drinking environment. There are plenty of bar seats for a
grand happy hour and meeting place. Now all they need to
do is understand that $5 happy hour drinks must not correlate
to Smirnoff’s vodka. Remember, we are in Boca.
They also smartly expanded the outside eating to
accommodate more patrons on those hopefully busy nights.
As for the rest of the restaurant, it’s déjà vu with the same
open kitchen, same booths, and same tables in the backroom.
Wet Your Appetite: Not much to talk about here. If
you’re looking for a bar scene, it hasn’t happened yet.
But I have to say the arrangement of the space and bar
location could easily adapt to having a great happy hour or
a destination for late night drinks. As for the wines by the
glass, I recommend the Sebastiani Chardonnay ($9), the
Whole Clustor Pinot Noir ($13) or the Stratton Lumis Red
Blend from Napa ($13).
As for the bottles, give the Shegehsio Zinfandel at $48 a
try, or the Truchard Carneros Chardonnay at the same price.
Prime Your Tastebuds: I would have loved to try more
of their appetizers, but there are moments when even the
Hungry Squad isn’t all that hungry. Also, I have to admit
that the list of appetizers at Madison’s is not very inventive.
I just can’t get charged up with choices like Spinach Dip,
Calamari, Smoked Salmon (on lettuce), or their grilled
vegetables. That left us the idea to taste test their Grilled
Artichokes in hopes of its matching up to those of their
immediate neighbor, Houston’s.
Even though the table thought they were good, I still
don’t believe they register to the taste and quality of
Houston’s. I felt that the wood flavors dialed down a few
degrees on their version.
Footnote: I have to comment on the end footnote on
Madison’s menu, more for levity than for awareness. It reads

as stated: “As part of our commitment to the community,
we’re doing our part to help protect the environment.
Madison serves bread and water upon request.”
I’m still contemplating on how my hunger for bread and
butter can possibly affect the climate change in Boca.
Straight From the Kitchen: The menu at Madison’s has
a little of everything for everyone. They do offer specials
of the evening and tonight was no exception. On their
blackboard were: Grilled Red Snapper ($30) (blackened
optional), Tuscan Steak ($33), New York Strip that’s
delivered sliced, and a Bone-In Cowboy Steak ($38).
When Hungry Al (that’s me) ever sees a N.Y. Strip
Steak for only $33, I have to qualify the cut of beef. In
this case, the waiter tells me it’s a Prime steak, which
immediately sends out a warning alert that activates my
amateur butcher’s questionnaire, for the waiter to qualify
my carnivorous suspicions.
Upon his return, he retracts his first finding and informs
us that the steak is more like a USDA Choice cut of beef.
This gets retracted again when the manager arrives at our
table. He now claims that their steak is Certified Angus
Beef (CAB) that was cut from the prime part of the cow.
*Beef Lesson 101: Certified Angus Beef is a trademarked
brand designed to market beef. It must meet 10 quality
control standards and must be either USDA Prime or USDA
Choice. Most of it is USDA Choice, and certainly when it’s
costing you only $33 for a 14 oz. steak. In Beef Lesson 102
you’ll learn why, in some cases, CAB does not actually
certify that the beef is from an actual Angus breed.
In the end, most good steakhouses will qualify the origin
of their beef and not leave it up to the wait staff or manager
to muddle through their meat standards.
On that note, Hungry Al ordered the New York Strip.
And I have to claim that even though it was not your
Morton’s or Abe & Louie’s prime beef, it was still pretty
darn good for thirty-three dollars. The temperature was
perfect and the accompanying mushroom sauce hit high
marks.
As for Hungry J, the grilled Red Snapper Special
certainly helped satisfy her long lost desire for Florida fish.
This off-the-shore fish was spot on with its grilling, and the
hint of its hickory flavors added to her delight. Sadly, her
Baked Potato was too long in the oven and sat too long out
of the oven, leaving a hard outer skin and overdone starch.
For Hungry D, our non-beefeater, the Greek Salad ($17)
she selected was “amazingly fresh.” From the chilled bowl
to the cut vegetables (minus the lettuce) was pure Greek.
Even the large bar of Feta cheese seemed authentic. To add
more to this great dish was the fresh Scottish Salmon that
perched like the Parthenon on top of her salad.
Finally, let us not forget another Hungry D (#2) who
decided on the Madison’s Chicken ($18). Unfortunately,
this had a lot of potential but didn’t make the grade because
it was overcooked. This trend of double-killing poultry
seems to be a constant with many corporate chains. That’s
why I always request that my chicken be cooked medium.
As for the dish, it was layered with Cheddar and Monterey
Jack cheese along with tomato, green onion and served up
with some pico de gallo. Check out the Pineapple coleslaw;
it was a great tasting side dish.
The Dessert Tray: Madison’s dessert is like reading
a basic dessert menu at any steakhouse in America. Yes,
there’s the Ricotta Cheesecake, the Crème Brulee, the
Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream and, of course,
The Key Lime Pie. Interestingly, Madison’s has its own inhouse pastry chef. As for the Hungry Squad, we selected
only one of these to taste test and, happily, we chose the
right one.
The Key Lime Pie ($7) was absolutely and unanimously
fantastic! The graham cracker crust killed and the sweet and
slightly tart lime custard is and was divine. I would come
back just for this dessert alone.
Check Please: It’s amazing that a Canadian company
is attempting to bring a New York style steakhouse to Boca
Raton in a location that has died and resurrected itself three
times. The good news is, this one might just make it. The
team at Madison’s is listening to its patrons and making
changes constantly. With a little
luck, some better training, and
consistency with food quality, this
New Yorker will become another
permanent landmark among our
many eating destinations.
With an “A” for effort and a
“B” for food, we all agree that
Madison’s New York deserves
at least three golden Statues of
Liberty.
Sherry
One Of The World’s Oldest Wines
Is A Treasure That Is
Underappreciated In Many Circles
By Glenn Sudnick,

CrossTalk
Negotiating Is An
Acquired Taste
By Jodi Cross
There is an art form
to negotiating. When you
think about it, we all do it
every day whether with our
kids, employees or in a sales
situation. So how can you
improve your negotiation
skills and get to “Yes?”
At the beginning of
any negotiation you must
prepare. Recently during a
real estate transaction we ran into some complications that
led to a conflict and we almost lost the buyer. Deploying
some simple steps can help get things back on track.
1. Prioritize your stakes; what are you willing to give
concessions on and what is off limits? Determine the best
outcome prior to starting the negotiation then develop a Plan
B scenario.
2. Do your research. Identify where the other person’s
interests lie. What issues are important to them? How well
do you know them or the company they represent?
3. Who else may have a stake in this negotiation? What
deadlines are you up against? Can you create leverage to move
the deal along or using the deadline as a cost of delay tactic?
4. Develop supporting arguments and outcomes that can
be used as persuasive bargaining tools.
5. Work on a strategy. Determine your bottom line. Set up
your goals from an aspirational and reality based perspective
and outline what you want to achieve in writing.
Now that you have prepared for negotiations, let the
games begin. Negotiations should be taken seriously, always
remember not to get overconfident and never give away your
bottom line.
Using key objectives can help reveal your opponents
positioning during the discovery process.
1. Keep the lines of communication open while sharing,
listening and asking “why” questions.
2. Take a cooperative approach by identifying all possible
issues surrounding the negotiations, never assume anything.
3. When you are in the bargaining zone be prepared to
find overlapping points and use bridging techniques to create
alignment. Bridging identifies alternative concessions by
using creative tradeoffs and develops reciprocity.
4. Never make a concession without reciprocity and avoid
unilateral concessions.
5. Be firm and assertive. Know your worth and be
prepared to walk away!
Try to avoid getting emotionally attached to the outcome.
One time I was purchasing a car and I loved the pin-striping
detail. I started fixating on the fact the no other car would
have those stripes and lost track of the bigger negotiation.
Remember to stay focused during the negotiation process
and you can obtain your ultimate goal.

area of Spain known as the
sherry triangle consisting
of the three towns of Jerez
de la Fronters, Sanlúcar de
Barrameda and El Puerto de
Santa Maria. There are three
grape varieties authorized
for production: Palomino,
Muscat of Alexandria and
Pedro Ximénez. The last
two grapes are mainly used
for sweetening.
Sherry is aged by the Solera system which uses tiers of
wine casks that are systematically blended with the more
mature wine in the casks below. Sherry comes in different
styles.
Fino is a crisp, dry and nutty delicate sherry.
Manzaniila comes from the coastal town of Sanlúcar
de Barrameda and is typically lighter than fino, often with a
little salty finish.
Amontillado is amber in color with a distinctive nutty
flavor that is complex, with a long finish.
Palo Cortado is a rare variety of sherry that is much
sought after. The production of this rare breed has notes that
are a cross of a fino and the nutty richness of an amontillado.
The character of this fine wine make it quite expensive.
Oloroso sherry is dry and brown-colored. It is a rich nutty
style with aromas of raisins.
Cream sherry is sweetened with the addition of Muscat or
Pedro Ximénez grapes and is more commercially produced.
Sherry can be served with an appetizer or dessert.
Spain offers great cheeses and salted hams. My favorite
cheese is probably the famous Manchego. This cheese
is incredible, made
from unpasteurized
sheep’s milk; it is
aged between three
months to two years.
Normally butterscotch
in color it is well
developed, creamy
with nutty flavors.
Serrano ham
To compliment
this fine cheese I serve thinly sliced Serrano ham, fresh
rustic Spanish bread baked with sun-dried tomatoes and an
assortment of Manzanilla olives all marinated with oregano,
thyme, garlic, orange, lemon and a little rosemary. These are
Mediterranean wonders!
Wouldn’t it be fun to offer your guests a sherry with all
the accompaniments when they arrive at your home?
Hasta pronto,
Glenn

Three PM Alarm
By Tina K. VaLant
I patiently await a friend at a coffee shop in Palm Beach
Gardens. As mid-afternoon patrons buzz in and out, I
eavesdrop on creative beverage requests. My friend appears,
orders and we begin catching up. Next to us, a phone alarm
reminds “vanilla soy latte’ lady” of something. She silences
her phone and closes her eyes.
About a week later, I’m at a traffic light, in Boca. It’s
sunny with a crisp breeze, my windows are down. A phone
sounds, from the blue car next to me. It’s 3 p.m. He motions,
asking to be let in. He pulls in to the parking lot, at the bank
where I’m headed, turns the car off and sits there. By the
time I finish at the drive-thru, he’s gone.
I had almost forgotten about the 3 p.m. phenomenon.
Until perusing produce at the grocery store, I hear an alarm
chime. You guessed – it’s 3 p.m. The couple left their cart
and went outside. I’ll Google it tonight, I tell myself. I
didn’t find anything.
The following
weekend, in Boca
Raton, I’m at a yoga
retreat, presented
by Wendi Blum and
Leslie Glickstein at
Yoga Journey. I was
about to receive an
unexpected bonus. In
between Saturday’s
speakers and yoga
p r a c t i c e , We n d i
unveiled the mystery that had been dogging me for weeks.
“Years ago, I was listening to Marianne Williamson, on
XM Radio. It was 3 p.m., she was addressing forgiveness.
I got to thinking of the heavy burden we carry by harboring
“It’s not just charitable; it’s a smart investment.”

resentment or the feelings associated when others have
mistreated us.” Dr. Deborah Brown, clinical psychologist
agrees, “Anger can be emotionally and physically harmful,
when it remains stuck inside us, unmoving and unresolved.
These feelings can lead to revenge or violence. The only
way I know to release long-held anger is forgiveness.”
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more
painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that
inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
Marianne Williamson
You might forgive the person who just cut you off in
traffic, resentment from a co-worker, or the cause of a
painful childhood experience. The person doesn’t have
to know you forgave them. They may no longer be a part
of your life, or may have passed on. “Forgiveness does
not absolve others of their own wrongdoing. Forgiving
is a powerful step toward your own peace of mind, not a
passive surrender,” added Brown. Forgiving allows past bad
feelings to drift away from you, like white billowy clouds.
All major religious traditions carry basically the same
message (love, compassion and forgiveness). The important
thing is to make them part of our daily lives. Dalai Lama
“Three o’clock made perfect sense, for my daily
reminder,” stated Blum. “I shared this philosophy during
yoga teacher training at Yoga Journey Studio, in Boca. As
a group, we decided to share in the daily ritual, and expand
it within our own classes.” Devoting a few daily moments
to forgiveness can be extremely liberating. “I found that
by being mindful and releasing feelings of anger, hurt, or
resentment, I created a space to welcome better things to
my life.”
Often, as Wendi is addressing a group as a strategycoach or during presentation, not only does her alarm sound
at 3 p.m., but it has company. This makes her smile. She
estimates a couple thousand people now share this practice.
It continues to grow by word of mouth, social media, and
a dedicated Web site.
The practice of forgiveness is our most important
contribution to the healing of the world. Marianne
Williamson
“The goal with this movement is to achieve peace on
Earth, by forgiving others and also ourselves. Peace begins
within each of us,” stated Blum. If this resonates with
you, adapt this routine to your daily life, and notice what
happens. It will positively change your life.”
When you forgive, you in no way change the past – but
you sure do change the future. Bernard Meltzer
“Depending upon the level of emotion surrounding your
feelings, it may take days, months, or even a year to reach a
place of acceptance. But know when this happens, miracles
will follow. It all begins with forgiveness,” added Blum.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute
of the strong. Mahatma Gandhi
The weekend of the yoga retreat, I set my mobile phone
with a special daily chime for 3 p.m. The first few times
were easy. My spouse had recycled something irreplaceable
(confession: he was on my 3 p.m. radar for days). I have
forgiven those who haven’t treated me the way I felt I
deserved to be treated. Many times, I am the subject of my
own 3 p.m. moment. It is nice to take a mindful moment to
forgive. It feels good for my heart and for my head.
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the
prisoner was you. Lewis B. Smedes
I got to thinking how 143 translates to I Love You (one
letter, four letters, three letters). According to Wikipedia,
not only is 176 an “angelic number,” I translate it to I
Forgive Myself, or I Forgive Others. So the next time
you’re out and you hear an alarm (maybe it’s yours?) at 3
p.m. or see 176, know that you are a part of a powerful,
positive movement toward peace – your own, and the world
surrounding you.
You are invited to set your daily alarm at 3 p.m., visit and
share forgiveness at www. 4giveat3.com or on FaceBook
at 4giveat3.

“I Didn’t Know That ...
Bet You Didn’t Know It Either”
Fascinating trivia facts
compiled by Stanley
Morgenbesser, who resides
with his wife, Birdi, at the
Banyans of Broken Sound.
This is one in a series of
columns that is running in
these pages.
According to the 2013
Forbes list of billionaires,
how many billionaires are
there in the world?
The 2013 Forbes billionaires list boasts 1,426 names,
with an aggregate net worth of $5.4 trillion. The U.S. leads
the list with 442 billionaires, followed by Asia-Pacific
(386), Europe (366), the Americas (129) and the Middle
East & Africa (103).
Are there more pets or children in Japan?
Judging from the numbers, one could assume that
Japanese women and men prefer pets to parenthood. There
are now many more pets than children. While the birthrate
has been falling dramatically and the average age of Japan’s
population has been steadily climbing, Japan has become a
pet superpower. Official estimates put the pet population at
22 million or more, but there are only 16.6 million children
under 15.
How much does the average person dream at night?
Most people dream about four to seven dreams a night.
50% of those dreams are forgotten in the first minutes after
waking, and the one we remember is usually one we were
either just dreaming or a mix of all the dreams we had put
together. No wonder they always seem so confusing.
How much sugar does the average American consume?
The average American consumes almost 152 pounds of
sugar in one year. This is equal to three pounds of sugar
consumed in one week!
Which five cities in the U.S. will have the wealthiest
residents by income in 2013?
(5) Jupiter Island, Florida. Population: 504; Avg. Income
$2,090,600. (4) Cove Neck, New York. Population: 232; Avg.
Income $2,383,000. (3) Chenequa, Wisconsin. Population:
802; Avg. Income: $2,498,000. (2) Mill Neck, New York.
Population: 800; Avg. Income $2,511,000 (1) Huntleigh,
Missouri. Population: 800; Income Avg: $2,700,000.
What did the Tibetans do with their dead in the early
20th Century?
Until the 1950s, Tibetans disposed of their dead by
taking the body up a hill, hacking it into little pieces, and
feeding the remains to the birds.
What was so odd about scientist Henry Cavendish?
Henry Cavendish, one of the greatest scientists of the
1700s, was painfully shy and could barely speak to one
person—never to two. He was so timid in the presence of
women that he communicated with his female servants by
notes only. If one crossed his path in his house, she was
fired on the spot. He built a separate entrance to the house
so that he could come and go without meeting anyone. In
the end, he insisted on dying alone.
Which soda was first packaged in aluminum cans?
The first 12-ounce aluminum soda can was introduced
in 1964 by Royal Crown Cola. Coke didn’t start using
aluminum until three years later, and that same year Pepsi
came out with a seamless can.
Which Hall of Famer has received the most votes?
To date, the baseball Hall of Famer who has received the
highest percentage of votes for induction into the hall was
pitcher Tom Seaver in 1992 at 98.82 percent. He is closely
trailed by Nolan Ryan at 98.79 percent, Ty Cobb at 98.23
percent, and George Brett at 98.19 percent
How did the term ‘Pick-Up Truck’ originate?
Ford, which made the first pick-up trucks, shipped them
to dealers in crates that the new owners had to assemble
using the crates as the beds of the trucks. The new owners
had to go to the dealers to get them, thus they had to
“pick up” the trucks.
Which country has the greatest number of different
languages within its borders?
Tiny Papua, New Guinea is all of 462,840 square
kilometers in size, about as big as the state of California.
Despite its small size, it is the most linguistically diverse
country on the planet. According to recent data, 841
different languages are listed for the country.
What are the six most valuable brands in the world,
according To Forbes?
(6) McDonalds (5) Google (4) I.B.M. (3) Coca Cola (2)
Microsoft (1) Apple
Stuff I didn’t know I didn’t know: Someone on Earth reports
seeing a UFO every three minutes. Charlie Chaplin once won third
prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. Farmers in England
are required by law to provide their pigs with toys. Dueling is
legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood
donors. Snails can sleep for three years without eating. Months
that begin on a Sunday will always have a “Friday the 13th.”
According to a British law passed in 1845, attempting to commit
suicide was a capital offense, and offenders could be hanged for
trying. McDonald’s serves “McSpaghetti” in the Philippines; the
pasta is sold as a main course or as a side with their fried chicken
drumstick. There wasn’t a single pony in the Pony Express, just
horses. Avocados have the highest calories of any fruit at 167
calories per hundred grams. The Swine Flu vaccine in 1976 caused
more death and illness than the disease it was intended to prevent.
On average, more animals are killed by motorists than by hunters
with guns. There are 420 seats on the standard 747 jumbo jet. The
total actual play time in a football game averages 11 minutes.

Introducing our new First Time Driver Toolkit. One
of our favorite jobs is to issue a “first time” driver’s license.
That’s because we know that getting your first driver’s license
is a milestone event in life and we get to be part of it! We
also know that many first time drivers are nervous about
passing the eye, written and road exams. We want to help,
so we created the First Time Driver Toolkit. The kit includes
everything needed to prepare for that big day. Drivers-to-be
can read the Florida Driver Handbook, take practice tests
and learn the steps to get a learners or intermediate license.
Find all this and more at www.pbctax.com/1stTimeDriver.
Are you Real ID’d? While we are on the subject of
driver licenses, remember that you are now required to
bring specific documents proving birth, social security and
residence. That’s because of a law passed by Congress after
the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our country. That federal law
requires these documents to issue a REAL ID compliant
license. A REAL ID driver license has a star in the upper
right hand corner. These stricter standards are in place to
prevent future terrorist attacks and reduce fraud. Learn more
at www.pbctax.com/REAL-ID.
The first REAL ID deadline is just eight months away.
Anyone born after December 1, 1964 must have a REAL ID
by December 1, 2014. Everyone else has until December 1,
2017. Don’t wait until the last minute. I encourage you to
make an online appointment at www.pbctax.com/locationshours/appointments. Remember, you can renew up to 18
months in advance.
REAL IDs will be required in this country to board a
commercial plane or enter a federal building. Homeland
Security will announce the enforcement date which will be
no sooner than 2016. A REAL ID can be a state issued driver
license, ID card or current passport.
April is National Distracted Driving Awareness
Month. Distracted driving takes the lives of thousands of
people each year. Despite the startling statistics, people
continue to use their cell phones while driving. We join the
National Safety Council in urging everyone to stop using cell
phones while driving. No message or call is more important
than your life or the lives of others on the road. We all need
to take the pledge not to drive distracted or impaired. Think
of how many lives we can save.
Check out our Annual Report. Find out what we’ve
accomplished and where we’re going in our Annual Report.
Pick one up at any service location or at www.pbctax.com/

Memo From Palm Beach County Mayor Steven L. Abrams
The Countdown To Zero
Campaign: Wonderful News
For Dog And Cat Lovers!
Recently, the Board of County Commissioners instituted
the “CountDown to Zero,” a campaign aimed at eliminating
euthanizing dogs and cats by the county’s Animal Care
and Control Department (ACC). Due to the large number
of abandoned animals and limited space, ACC euthanized
approximately 9,000 dogs and cats last year, many of which
were sick and unsafe for adoption.
The CountDown to Zero campaign is a 10-year plan
involving collaboration with rescue groups and residents
to curb the dog and cat population growth rate so that more
rescued animals are adopted. The idea is to greatly expand
spay and neuter efforts so that, by 2024, the county shelter
will no longer euthanize healthy and otherwise adoptable
dogs and cats.
This past year, the county shelter received over 20,000
animals. Approximately 71 percent of the dogs that were
eligible for placement found homes, and only 21 percent of
the cats were adopted.
The euthanasia rate for cats is much higher than dogs
because they reproduce so much faster. The county also has
a large feral cat population (approximately 200,000). Instead
of rounding up all of these cats and euthanizing them, the
county is working with local activists to have these feral cats
trapped, sterilized, vaccinated, and released.
Other initiatives under the CountDown to Zero campaign
will include expanding the foster care program and offer
more animal training as a way to reduce the number of
frustrated pet owners turning unruly animals over to
Financial insight and
expertise. It’s just
around the corner.

REASONABLE RATES
Book Review: “XOC–The White Shark Murders”
By Nils A. Shapiro
Every summer for the past
28 years on Martha’s Vineyard
Island, Massachusetts, a
tournament was held that
drew fishermen from far and
wide to see who could catch
and haul in the largest shark.
The winner received a prize,
and the competition became
an island tradition.
But not everyone was
in favor of the shark hunt, and this new, fast-paced novel
by Michael G. West uses the annual event as background
for a story that combines local government corruption,
high-stakes gambling, out-of-state mobsters, the FBI, local
environmental “eco-terrorists” committed to stopping the
wanton killing of sharks, and an ex-Marine recently returned
from Afghanistan.
It’s a mix that works especially well because the author
himself lives on the Vineyard and knows it well, sprinkling
the action with references to actual places, such as the names
of restaurants, streets and harbors where the action takes
place. Along the way, he has his characters make points
well worth remembering. Here, for example, is how Emma,
a woman opposed to the killing of sharks, explains her case
to Sam, the former Marine who has just arrived on the island:
“100 million sharks are killed every year, mostly for shark
fin soup. At this point there are only 3,500 great white sharks
in all the oceans of the world.”
“Shouldn’t I feel safer?” I wondered aloud.
“That’s just ignorance.”
“You mean sharks don’t kill people?”
“More people die from ordinary, everyday things. Like
over 400 people die from falling off a ladder every year in
the U.S. alone. 350 people drown in their bathtub. Twice that
many choke to death on a chicken sandwich...
“But the point is, last year twelve people total died from
unprovoked shark attacks. That’s fewer than two people per
billion killed across the entire planet of seven billion people.
Very rare, Sam...Sharks just don’t eat people on purpose.
It’s usually a mistake when people get
bitten by a shark. They think it’s a seal or
something.”
Ironically, the movie “Jaws,” based on
the bestselling novel by Peter Benchley
--- which surely deserves the dubious
claim of having stirred public fears of
shark attacks --- was filmed on Martha’s
Vineyard, where my wife, Linda, and I
have a home that her grandparents built
in 1928, within walking distance from the
East Chop lighthouse and only minutes
from the harbor where the caught sharks
are brought in to hang on scales and be
weighed. It is a sight that neither Linda
and I have ever cared to witness.
But the Vineyard’s much more widely
recognized reputation is one of an island graced with natural
physical beauty, eight miles from the southern MassachusettsCape Cod mainland. A place with a relaxed and informal air,
where a year-round population of fewer than 20,000 swells
to 100,000 on any summer day as visitors arrive by ferry,
boat or yacht to enjoy its art galleries, shops and restaurants.
There isn’t a single fast-food restaurant, large chain store,
or even large retailer on the entire island—and no traffic
lights: courtesy is the rule at intersections. Well-known
authors, artists, filmmakers and actors own homes on the
Vineyard, where they re-charge their creative energies and
seem to enjoy relaxing with locals, often unrecognized, in
coffee shops and strolling around the quaint shops. Nor does
it hurt the Vineyard’s reputation to be the favored summer
vacation destination of two presidential families, as both
the Clintons and Obamas have enjoyed the Vineyard in
recent years.
I mention these positive aspects of the Vineyard because,
in “The White Shark Murders,” one is enveloped in a dark
side—appropriately so, because the author’s objective
here is to tell a dramatic crime story, and he does so very
successfully. His focus is on the shark tournament, in which
the most dangerous “sharks” are those who live on land.
Far more vicious than those in the water, they are powerful,
corrupt, greedy and, in author Michael
West’s capable hands, interesting and
fully realized. So are the good guys...and
especially the women.
In the novel, for those who run the
tournament --- and without the knowledge
of the island’s year-round residents or
visitors --- the competition has become a
million dollar gambling opportunity, with
confidential side betting that involves
crime families from several states. Soon,
there is as much blood from beatings
and murders as from sharks. One of the
protesters is framed --- the woman with
whom Sam the ex-Marine has become
romantically involved --- and it’s time
for him to get to the bottom of things by
teaming up with another military veteran, a tattooed member
of the native Wampanoag Indian tribe that to this day thrives
up-island in the town of Aquinnah.
When the son of an involved mob boss turns out to be
a close buddy of Sam’s who saved his life in Afghanistan,
things get very complicated. Before it’s over there is one
surprise after another. And just when you think the final
details have been resolved, the last few pages take a turn
that makes your head spin. This is one crime novel whose
final twist you won’t expect.
And I can’t wait to see how the director who makes the
movie version is going to treat that ending.
P.S. Two points of interest: First, the XOC in the title
refers to the fact that, according to linguistics scholars, the
Mayan word Xoc is the origin of the word “shark.” It was
pronounced “shock.” Second, throughout the novel, the
author refers to the towns on Martha’s Vineyard not by their
present names, but rather by the names they had more than a
century ago. For example, the town that is now Oak Bluffs
is referred to in the book as Cottage City, which is what it
was known until 1907, named for the quaint pastel-colored
gingerbread cottages that still line one area of the town and

Astrological Insights
April
By Carole Lynn Grant
Become a Pioneer,
Trendsetter and all you
can be!
We are all being given a
second chance to reinvent,
reform, reframe, restore
and rejuvenate our body,
mind and spirit. This is our
time to trust our Creator
as we all go through a
powerful month of rapid
transition. This will be a
month of colossal events, breakthroughs, increased wisdom
and great opportunities. I still have to caution you, because
there will be a Blood Moon Eclipse on April 15 and that is
a huge event. The United States and Israel will experience
sudden changes. Find more on this in my blog. Go to my
Web site: www.carolelynngrant.com.
Leo (July 24 to August 23)
Tremendous spiritual breakthroughs or communication
opportunities are here. Leave yourself plenty of time to do
nothing; receive new insights.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23)
Collection time! There is a harvest for you. When you
speak up, stand your ground or make yourself available to
higher-ups. Quit pondering.
Libra (September 24 to October 23)
Be true to yourself and cut your partners some slack.
Be bold and unavailable at the same time. Expect sudden
change.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)
It is imperative to not push yourself this month. Set up
doctor and dentist appointments. Miracles can happen when
you are prepared.
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)
Try the thing that you have always wanted to try. Family
connections and joy are here for you now. Dream on.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)
Home is going through change and yet, home is where
you want to be. Organize or clean. Your mind should be
sharp, clear and purposeful.
Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)
Tell people what you really think, but don’t blow them
away. You’re a good friend to everyone; this is a good time
to be a good friend to yourself.
Pisces (February 20 to March 3)
Unleash your potential. Our creator is telling you to quit
thinking about what you want to do and do it now. You’ll win
if you take action now.
Check out Carole’s new Web site, www.carolelynngrant.
com. You can reach her at carolelynngrant@bellsouth.net.
Aries (March 21 to April 20)
Be aggressive on your own behalf; other people may
slow you down. If you have a dream, plan or goal to
accomplish, this is the time to put it in place.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21)
You have so much planetary support this month, that if
you don’t succeed you may be holding yourself back. Quit
thinking about your goal and do it.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21)
Focus is on networking with the people at the top. This
month you can do more than one thing at a time successfully.
Leave the old and establish the new.
Cancer (June 22 to July 23)
Enlightenment, breakthroughs and breakdowns this
month can be a roller coaster ride of events. Make your mark
now.
Book Review from page 22
are featured on many of the picture postcards. What is now
Vineyard Haven is described as Nobnocket Town, which
was established in 1661, and, on the map in the opening
pages of the book, what is now Edgartown is shown as
Great Harbor. I don’t know the reason for the author’s use
of the old town names, since he does, for example, name
several specific current streets and restaurants. It may be
that he is simply taking artistic license—or, perhaps, since
one of the most corrupt people in the novel is the leading
town politician who also happens to own several of the
local businesses, maybe the author doesn’t want to appear
to be getting too close to actually identifying any present
individuals. I mention this clarification of town names
because, when you have the pleasure of visiting Martha’s
Vineyard, I wouldn’t want you to get lost.
