Public has right to know details 
of deal, Post attorney will claim 
0. EPSTEIN/rpm m 
such as protecting a trade 
secret or a compelling gov-
ernment interest. 
Yet 
no 
notification 
or reason occurred in 
Epstein's case, according 
to court records. 
Epstein's own attorneys, 
in federal filings, have 
referred to his confiden-
tial deferred prosecution 
agreement with the U.S. 
attorney's office, struck in 
September 2007. as "un-
precedented" and "highly 
unusual." And it was "a 
significant 
inducement" 
for Epstein to accept the 
state's deal, observed the 
state judge who accepted 
his plea. County Judge 
Deborah Dale Pucillo. 
Epstein now faces at 
least a dozen civil lawsuits 
in federal and state courts 
filed by young women who 
said they had sex with 
him and now are seeking 
damages. 
Attorneys for some of 
those women want his 
agreement with federal 
prosecutors unsealed and 
will ask Circuit Judge Jef-
frey Colbath to do so today. 
"It is against public 
policy for these documents 
to be have been sealed and 
hidden from public scrutiny 
As a member of the public. 
E.W. has a right to have 
these drx-urnents unsealed." 
wrote former Circuit Judge 
Bill Berger, now in private 
practice and representing 
ow of the women. 
The Palm Beach Post also 
will ask Colbath to unseal 
the agreement. Post attor-
ney Deanna Shullman will 
argue that the public has a 
right to know the specifics 
of Epstein's deal. 
According to various 
media accounts, Epstein 
moved in circles that in-
cluded President Clinton, 
Donald Trump and Wince 
Andrew. 
"International 
Moneyman of Mystery,- de-
clared a 2002 New York mag-
azine profile of Epstein. 
Epstein, 56. is in the 
Palm Beach County Stock-
ade, serving an 18-month 
sentence after pleading 
guihy nearly a year ago 
to felony solicitation of 
prostitution and procuring 
teenagers for prostitution. 
He is allowed out from 7 
am. to 11 p.m., escorted by 
a deputy. said Palm Beach 
County 
Sheriff's 
Office 
spokeswoman Teri Barbera. 
During a Palm Beach 
Police 
Department 
in-
vestigation, five victims 
and 17 witnesses gave 
statements. They told of 
young women brought by 
his assistants to Epstein's 
mansion on El Brillo Way 
for massages and sexual 
activity, and then being 
paid afterward. 
At Epstein's plea confer-
ence last year. his attorney, 
Jack 
Goldberger. 
and 
then-Assistant State At-
torney Lanna Belohlavek 
approached 
Pacifilo 
in 
a 
sidebar 
conference. 
Pucillo, who had left the 
bench nine years earlier, 
was filling in temporarily 
as a senior judge. 
Accordingtoatranscript 
Goldberger told Pucillo that 
Epstein had entered a con-
fidential agreement with 
the US. attorney's office 
in which federal prosecu-
tors brokered not pursuing 
charges against him if he 
pleaded guilty in state 
court. Pucillo then said she 
wanted a sealed copy of the 
agreement filed in his case. 
and Goldberger concurred 
that he wanted it sealed. 
Belohlavek later signed off 
on it. 
The Florida Supreme 
Court has expressed "seri-
ous concern" and launched 
an all-out inquiry into seal-
ing procedures across the 
state following media re-
ports in 2006 of entire cases 
being sealed and disappear-
ing from court records. 
The public's constitu-
tional right of access to court 
records must remain invio-
late, and this court is fully 
committed to safeguarding 
this right" justices wrote in 
their final report. 
Epstein's 
office 
on 
Tuesday 
referred 
any 
questions to Goldberger, 
who declined to comment. 
Pucillo also has declined 
to comment.

Alex Hewko's widow. Barbara, is comforted by her four sons — Bob (from left), Eric. Alex Jr. and 
Jon — and Alex's brother Wass (second from left) at the funeral Tuesday at the South Florida 
National Cemetery west of Lantana. Mr. Hewko and his wife were part-time Jupiter residents. 
When war ended, all 5 brothers 
returned to native Pennsylvania 
1 MR. HEWKO from 
enlist. He saw the most combat. He rose 
to the highest rank of the brothers. 
"He was like our dad," said Wass 
Hewko, 85, one of two surviving broth-
ers. "He worked in a bakery. He cut 
people's hair to earn money. We all 
looked up to him." 
l'he other surviving brother. John, 86, 
is ill and was unable to attend Thesday's 
ceremonies, which included services at 
Oceanview United Methodist Church in 
Juno Beach. 
Alex Hewko was a pilot in the South 
Pacific, where he was awarded the Pur-
ple Heart and Bronze Star for flying mis-
sions over New Guinea. Mother brother. 
Peter, was a Marine and was injured in a 
near-fatal bus accident in California. Ben 
served on the USS Corry off Normandy. 
The youngest, John. was serving 
aboard a troop carrier in London when it 
was hit by a German V-1 buzz bomb. He 
survived. 
Wass served as a cook aboard a Navy 
troop carrier. 
When the war ended in the summer 
of 1945. all five brothers returned to 
Northampton. 
Alex and Barbara met at a Christmas 
party and married five years later 
"He was a hunk," said Barbara, her 
eyes shining. "What a dapper dresser. 
And such a dancer. He was so full of life." 
The couple bought a home in Pennsyl-
vania and had four sons. Three played 
on football scholarships at the University 
f Florida. 
"Dad wouldn't admit it, but he could

throw a better pass than any of the 
coaches," said son Bob Hewko, 49, 
speaking during a cheerful video of his 
father's life at the church ceremony. 
After the war, Mr. Mewls° worked for 
25 years in the Navy's aviation supply 
office in Philadelphia as the program di-' 
rector of the Navy P-3 Orion aircraft, and 
in the private sector for several aeronau-
tics and space-related corporations. 
He played for two years as a catcher 
in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league 
system and played football as a running 
back as part of an on-base military team 
in Jacksonville during World War IL 
Like .most servicemen from his gen-
eration, Mr. Hewko said little about his 
military service. The Hewkos kept their 
home in Willow Grove. Pa.. and seven 
years ago bought a second home in Jupi-
ter. Mr. Hewko died on May 28. 
Since his death, his sons have learned 
that their father worked with the CIA 
and played a role in secret missions in 
Vietnam and Korea. 
Those military contacts allowed his 
sons to win the OK for Thesday's flyover 
of a P-3 Orion during the military cer-
emony. An assistant to US. Navy Secre-
tary Ray Mabus called Mr. Hewlco's son 
Jon on Monday and said the plane would 
pass 300 feet above their father's grave 
in a salute at precisely 1:2.5 p.m. 
"I get chills walking through here." 
said Bob, stepping gingerly between the 
white tombstones at the cemetery, which 
in 50 years is expected to have about 
200,000 graves. "It's so honorable. Dad 
would be proud."

Senator questions whether 
transfer complies with law 
P. DETAINEEfrom IA 
Asked by the judge how 
he wished to plead. Ghai-
lani answered in English, 
"Not guilty." 
Ghailani 
faces mul-
tiple charges 
and, if 
convicted, could face the 
death penalty for his role 
in the bombing of US. 
embassies in Tanzania 
and Kenya, which killed 
224 people, including 12 
Americans. 
"Ahmed 
Ghailani is 
being held accountable 
for his alleged role in the 
bombing of US. Embas-
sies in Tanzania and Ke-
nya and the murder of 224 
people." Attorney Gen-
eral Eric Holder said in 
a statement. "The Justice 
Department has a long 
history of securely detain-
ing and successfully pros-
ecuting terror suspects 
through the criminal jus-
tice system, and we will 
bring that experience to 
bear in seeking justice in 
this case." 
Ghailani was indicted 
in New York before the 
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, 
captured three years later 
and held in a secret CIA 
prison overseas before be-
ing placed in Guantanamo 
in 2006. Four of his named 
co-conspirators have been 
tried and convicted and 
are serving life sentences 
in a super-maximum se-
curity prison in Colorado. 
The decision to move 
Ghailani to the United 
States lays down an im-
portant marker for the 
Obama 
administration. 
which wants to shut the 
military prison but has 
faced congressional resis-
tance to the transfer of 
any Guantanamo inmates 
into the U.S. for resettle-
ment, trial or further 
detention. 
It drew immediate criti-
cism from Republicans. 
"The 
administration 
has made the decision to 
begin transferring these 
terrorists to the United 
States, in spite of the over-
whelming opposition of 
the American people and 
serious questions from 
members of Congress of 
both parties," said House 
Minority Leader John 
Boehner, R-Ohio. 
A conference commit-
tee, made up of Senate 
and House members of 
the defense appropriations 
subcommittees, has been 
considering language that 
would restrict the admin-
istration's ability to move 
detainees out of Guanta-
namo without a compre-
hensive plan for where to 
place them. Lawmakers 
also want assurances that 
bringing detainees into 
the US. presents no risk 
to national security. 
Noting a bill, passed 90-
6 last month, that banned 
the transfer of detainees 
from Guantanamo to VS. 
prisons, Senate Minority 
Leader Mitch McConnell, 
It-Ky., said the president 
was ignoring the "clear 
desire of Congress and 
the American people." 
McConnell also ques-
tioned whether Obama 
has the authority to move 
Ghailani under current 
law. He declined to say 
whether Congress would 
consider further action 
to stop the administration 
from bringing other de-
tainees here for trial. 
But 
Senate 
Major-
ity Whip Dick Durbin, 
D-III.. strongly defended 
Obama's decision, noting 
that the US. already has 
many accused terrorists 
in its prisons. 
In a speech last month, 
Obama 
signaled 
that 
Ghailani's transfer was 
imminent and that "after 
over a decade, it is time 
to finally see that justice 
is served." The decision 
to transfer him followed 
a review of his case by a 
Justice 
Department-led 
task force examining the 
cases of all 238 detainees 
who remain at Guanta-
namo. 
Federal 
prosecutors 
allege that Ghailani ob-
tained bomb materials, 
scouted the embassy in 
4 
the Tanzanian capital and 
escorted an Egyptian sui-
cide bomber from Kenya 
to Dar es Salaam in ad-
vance of the nearly simul-
taneous blasts in Kenya 
and Tanzania. The bomb-
ing in Taniania killed 11, 
all Africans, and 213 were 
killed in the attack on the 
embassy in Nairobi, the 
Kenyan capital. 
Bernard Madoff,

weeks. the Metropolitan 
Correctional Center in Ne 
York will be home to both 
Medoff. the disgraced 
financier who pleaded 
guilty to masterminding

Ghailani, accused of helping 
coordinate the 1998 bombings of U.S. 
embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

17 detainees may head to South Pacific 
The Assodakd Press 
WASHINGTON — The Obama 
administration is nearing agree-
ment with the remote South Pacific 
island nation of Palau to resettle 
a group of Chinese Muslims now 
held at the Guantanamo Bay deten-
tion center, officials say. 
As they attempt 
to fulfill 
President Obama's order to close 
Guantanamo by early next year, ad-
ministration officials are looking to 
Palau to accept some or all of the 17 
Uighur detainees because of fierce 
congressional opposition to releas-
ing them on US. soil. 
Last year, a federal judge or-
dered the 17 released into the US. 
after the Pentagon determined they 
were not "enemy combatants." But 
an appeals court halted the order. 
and they have been in legal limbo 
ever since. 
Palau, with a population of about 
20,000, is an archipelago of eight 
main islands plus more than 250 
islets that is best known for diving 
and tourism. It's about 500 miles 
east of the Philippines in the Pa-
cific Ocean.

IN BRIEF 
State senator 
wins three-way 
Democratic 
primary in Va. 
RICHMOND, Va. — State 
Sen. R. Creigh Deeds 
won Virginia's three-way 
Democratic primary for 
governor Tuesday with 
shocking ease, defeating 
a former Clinton White 
House insider and a for-
mer legislative colleague. 
The victory sets up a 
Deeds rematch with Re-
publican Bob McDonnell, 
who beat him in the 2005 
attorney general election 
by 323 votes out of nearly 
2 million cast. 
Deeds had about half 
the vote with nearly all 
precincts reporting. His 
foes, former Democratic 
National Committee chair-
man Terry McAuliffe and 
Brian Moran. had about a 
quarter of the vote each. 
Fla. graduation rate 
fifth-lowest in U.S. 
,Amm— Florida's high 
school graduation rate is 
among the lowest in the 
nation, though progress 
is being made in several 
districts, including St. Lu-
cie County, according to a 
study released Tuesday. 
The annual "Diplomas 
Count" report by the non-
profit Editorial Projects 
in Education determined 
that 573 percent of Florida 
students completed high 
school on time with a' 
regular diploma in 2006, 
compared to 69.2 percent 
nationwide. That was 
slightly lower than the 
2005 graduation rate of 
60.8 percent and the fifth-
lowest nationwide. 
St. Lucie saw an im-
provement of 11 percent. 
Senate panel OKs 
drilling off Florida 
wAsuiNGrox — A Sen-
ate committee on Tuesday 
approved opening the 
eastern Gulf of Mexico 
to oil and gas drilling, in-
cluding an area rich with 
natural gas 10 miles off 
the Florida Panhandle. A 
45-mile no-drilling buffer 
would be maintained off 
most of Florida's coast. 
The provision was 
tacked onto a broader en-
ergy bill by a vote of 13-10 
in the Senate Energy and 
Natural Resources Com-
mittee. The committee 
was expected to advance 
the legislation this week. 
The area stretching 
from 125 to 300 miles off 
Florida's coast was singled 
out for protection by Con-
gress in 2006 as part of a 
deal with Florida lawmak-
ers that made available 8.3 
million acres to oil and gas 
development. The protect-
ed region is to remain off 
limits to energy develop-
ment until 2022. 
Screen Actors Guild 
ratifies two-year deal 
111 ANGELES - Mem-
bers of the Screen Actors 
Guild have voted to ratify a 
two-year contract covering 
movies and prime-time TV 
shows made by the major 
Hollywood studios. 
Tuesday's vote, with 78 
percent in favor, comes 
just less than a year after 
the last contract expired. 
N. Brinker, developer 
of Chill's chain, dies 
DAli AS - Norman 
Brinker, a restaurant 
mogul who popularized 
the salad bar and built a 
worldwide casual din-
ing empire that includes 
Chili's Grill & Bar, died 
Tuesday at age 78. 
Mr. Brinker died at 
a hospital in Colorado, 
according to a funeral 
home official in Cob 
rado Springs. He suffered 
complications related to 
pneumonia while on vaca-
tion. 
Before Miring in 2000, 
he built the Chili's chain 
of more than 1,000 restau-
rants. The company now 
has 1.700 restaurants in 27 
countries.

CBS, Letterman close to extension: 
David Letterman and CBS are close to 
a deal that would keep the late-night 
comic on the Late Show through at least 
the spring of 2012. That represents a 
two-year extension of Letterman's cur-
rent deal, set to expire next year. CBS 
will also pay Letterman's production 
company, Worldwide Pants, a smaller 
licensing fee than it is getting now, con-
sistent with its efforts to cut program-
ming costs across the board with the 
downturn in television advertising. It's 
not immediately clear what that would 
mean for Letterman's paycheck, which 
has been reported in the range of $30 
million to $35 million. His salary is set 
by Abrldwide Pants, not by CBS.

Charity gifts in U.S. 
fell 2 percent in '08 
The Associated !Wm 
NEW YORK — Charita-
ble giving by Americans 
fell by 2 percent in 2008 
as the recession took root, 
only the second year-to-
year decline in more than 
a half-century, according 
to an authoritative annual 
survey released today. 
Particularly hard hit 
were social-service chari-
ties, which suffered a 
12.7 percent drop in dona-
tions at a tithe when most 
of them were reporting 
increased demand 
for 
their services. 
The last previous over-
all drop in giving was 
in 1987, the year of the 
record-shattering Black 
Monday stock 
market 
collapse. 
The Giving USA Foun-
dation, which has con-
ducted the survey since 
1956. expressed relief that 
the 2008 decrease was not 
worse, given that many 
Americans lost more than 
2 percent of their wealth 
during the year. 
However, the report 
underscored the daunt-
ing circumstances fac-
ing America's nonprofits, 
many of which have been 
forced to lay off staff and 
cut programs because of 
declining revenue. 
According to the re-
port, total giving in 2008 
was $307.65 billion down 
from a record $314.07 
billion 
in 2007. Tivo-
thirds of public charities 
experienced 
decreases 
— among the few sectors 
to improve were religious 
and international affairs 
organizations. 
"We definitely did see 
belt-tightening, 
said 
Del Martin. chair of the 
Giving USA Foundation.

Sweet potato fries 
Vendor. ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston. Eagle, Idaho 
Why they're hot: Consumers are tired of the same old fry 
— and like the 'healthy aspect of sweet potatoes (even if 
they're still fried). Plus. the fries can be used as dessert. 
Big chocolate cake 
Vendor. Sweet Street Desserts. Reading, Pa. (represented 
by distributor AFM) 
Why It's hot: Sweet Street's Big Chocolate Cake (yes. 
that's what it's called) is designed to make a statement —
it's dense, dark and very. very big. Restaurants like it 
because it costs them under 3 bucks a slice, but that slice 
can easily sell for three times that when nicely plated.

Why It's hot: True barbecue 
restaurants have the time 
and tools to make pulled 
pork the right way. slow 
cooking it for hours and then 
shredding it. Most other 
restaurants don't. Made the 
old-fashioned way (over a 
charcoal fire). it's packaged

a chance to still serve 
authentic 'cue.

Everyone's looking 
for next big thing 
Staying on top of trends can help restaurants 
survive during tough economic times. 
By CHARLES PASSY 
Parra Brach Ant Staff Writer 
For all the financial woes local restaurants are fac-
ing, food supplier Greg Bates believes there is hope. 
And it comes in the form Ma duck wing. 
'They're taking off in sports bars," said Bates, of 
Keylmpact Sales, one of an estimated 400 vendors 
pushing their products at a restaurant trade show Tues-
day at the South Florida Fair's Americraft Expo Center. 
The annual event, organized by Cheney Brothers 
Inc., a Riviera Beach-based food distributor, is all 
about giving restaurateurs a way to hook custom-
ers. And when many are struggling to stay afloat, 
especially during the off-season, ifs a message they 
wanted to hear. Attendance soared to an estimated 
5,000 restaurant owners, country club managers and 
other food-service professionals, a 20 percent increase 
over the previous year. 
"They're looking for new products, or innovative 
ways to use old products." said Kinna Denowitz, a 
marketing director for Cheney. 
The 84-year-old company, which has produced the 
restaurant "buyer's show" for nearly two decades, 
serves as the year-round local sales representative 
for companies and brands at Tuesday's event. But it's 
one thing for a chef to read about a product in a sales 
brochure: it's another to taste a Cuban spring roll 
(think a Cuban sandwich in the form of an egg roll) 
or a "crisseut" sweet potato fry. 
Nicolle Baker of ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston 
("North America's premier supplier of frozen potato, 
appetizer and vegetable products") was hawking the 
fries, saying the whole sweet-potato-fries category 
was attracting interest. 
"They have that better-for-you appeal. even though 
they're not necessarily better for you," she said. 
But will any one menu item keep a restaurant in 
business? 
Ifs not so much about single item as about stay-
ing on top of trends, said Kevin Walters, food and 
beverage vice president at The Breakers in Palm 
Beach. The smart restaurateurs — and the ones most 
likely to survive — are always looking for the next big 
thing. he said. 
"Ten years ago, it was espresso. Five years ago, it 
was olive oil," Walters said. 
Of course, there's a whole behind-the-scenes aspect 
to the restaurant biz. Which is why for every company 
hawking such would-be culinary classics as pizza 
"logs" and pretzel rolls, there were ones pushing such 
none-too-sexy staples as floor mats and dish-washing 
detergent. 
And in a center-of-the-floor showcase, Cheney 
Brothers reps were promoting a $15,000 dishwasher 
with four wash cycles. 
Even during tough times, restaurateurs and other 
food-service professionals must value clean plates. 
When asked how the dishwashers were doing, Cheney 
exec Ron Hall pointed to the floor model of the $15,000 
machine 
"It was just sold to a country club," he said.

The settlements canard 
Bust the driver license ring 
Criminals use lots of tools, from 
assault weapons to lock picks. But 
one of the most sought-after tools is 
an official driver license. That's why 
law enforcement came down so hard 
on the operation in the Delray Beach 
office supplying Florida licenses to 
illegal immigrants. That's why the 
crackdown must continue until it 
shuts down the entire operation. 
As The Post reported Monday. 
employees at the driver license 
bureau were accepting bribes of 
$500 to S2,500 in 
return for issuing 
'The investigation is very 
valid licenses to il- active and focused, so you'll

didn't even take the 
driving test. The li-
censes can be useful 
for such relatively 
harmless 
scams 
as avoiding arrest and deportation 
if stopped by a police officer while 
driving. 
But South Floridians know that 
there are much darker reason's why 
criminals obtain driver licenses. Mo-
hamed Atta and other 9/11 hijackers 
had driver licenses to help avoid dif-
ficult questions and buy airplane tick-
ets. Ease of travel by air and on the 
road also is a reason that drug mules 
would want driver licenses. 
Because of all the ways criminals 
can use driver licenses, law enforce-
ment correctly set up a task force. It 
was led by the Palm Beach County 
State Attorney's Office and included 
the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Of-
fice, police departments in Boynton 
Beach and Delray Beach. the US. 
Drug Enforcement Agency and Im-
migration and Customs Enforcement 
and the Florida Highway Patrol. 
The task force has arrested five 
women who worked at the Delray 
Beach driver license office and 
one Haitian immigrant who alleg-
edly provided fake immigration

documents. State Attorney Michael 
McAuliffe said in an interview that 
won't be the end of it. "The invest' 
lion is very active and focused." he 
said, "so you'll see a second round in 
a timely manner." 
Mr. McAuliffe said the probe, which 
started in February likely would 
spread to new people 
and new offices in 
Palm Beach County. 
Mr. 
McAuliffe 
said that he's seen 
too evidence of ter-
rorism. He would 
not 
say 
whether 
there was evidence 
of drug trafficking 
or whether higher-
ups in the scheme have yet to be 
arrested. But it seems safe to assume 
that a scam on this scale — hundreds 
or even thousands of licenses were is-
sued fraudulently — could not have 
been financed by individual immi-
grants seeking minimum-wage jobs. 
Mr. McAuliffe said his investiga-
tion was centered "in this commu-
nity" but that he suspected it could 
be going on elsewhere, a thought 
echoed by David Westerberry, com-
munications director for the Florida 
Department of Highway Safety and 
Motor Vehicles that runs the license 
offices. "As strong as we think our 
quality assurance is." he said. "recent 
arrests have given us a reason to step 
back and make sure the integrity of 
(licensing) is upheld." 
A few states allow illegal im-
migrants to have driver licenses. 
Recently, though, Michigan and 
Maryland ended the practice. State 
employees in Delray and elsewhere 
who were issuing phony licenses 
weren't just misusing their jobs. They 
were endangering public safety. 
TALK 
BACK! 
Should Florida allow Illegals to legally obtain 
driver licenses?

Late move, but smart move 
After years of failing to properly fi-
nance KidCare and making it as hard 
as possible for parents to enroll their 
children in the state's subsidized 
health insurance program, state leg-
islators finally did something right. 
They passed a bill, which Gov. 
Crist signed last week, that stream-
lines the application process for Kid-
Care and expands the program so 
another 50.000 children can join. Kid-
Care provides coverage to children 
whose parents work but can't afford 
coverage. There are nearly 800,000 
uninsured children in Florida. 
Perhaps because the idea came 
front former Gov. Lawton Chiles, a 
Democrat, the Republican-led Leg-
islature hamstrung the 11-year-old 
program from the start. First, leg-
islators limited the coverage. Then, 
legislators made it hard for parents to 
enroll by increasing the paperwork 
required to prove eligibility and de-
creasing the amount of time to sign 
up. The state also cut marketing that 
would inform parents about KidCare. 
As a result, enrollment in KidCare 
dropped. The state had to return 
to the federal government nearly 
$140 million in matching money. U 
that isn't a serious political crime, we 
don't know what is.

agency for years has tried to have 
the administrative barriers to the 
program eliminated. The legislation,

of the state's working poor 
he said, is a move in that direction: "1 
think this was a very good first step 
in making it easier for families to get 
coverage and to keep that coverage." 
The law requires KidCare to 
attempt to verify eligibility elec-
tronically from external sources first 
before requiring families to produce 
documents. Parents who pay more 
than 5 percent of their income for 
group health insurance no longer 
must wait six months after dropping 
the more expensive coverage before 
being eligible for KidCare. That wait 
has been cut to two months. 
Mr. Robleto said the six-month 
waiting period was an "extreme 
burden" for families who did not want 
to be without coverage for so long 
Also, families that miss a premium 
payment will lose coverage only one 
month instead of two months. 
Mr. Robleto said the bill and the 
money provided for the year means 
that KidCare can add 45,000 to 50.000 
children to the current 250,000. There 
also will be a study of the outreach 
effort. Still, as he says, more needs 
to be done. "I hope I will be going 
back to the Legislature and saying: 
Thank you very much. We enrolled 
those 50,000 and now we need more 
money.' " Having clone right, legisla-
tors should do even better

Obama the Humble de-
clares that there will be no 
more "dictating" to other 
countries. We should "forge 
partnerships as opposed to 
simply dictating solutions," 
he told the G-20 summit. In 
Middle Fast negotiations, he 
told al-Arabiya. America will 
henceforth "start by liSten-
ing. because all too often 
the United States starts by 
dictating" 
An admirable sentiment. 
It applies to everyone — Iran, 
Russia. Cuba, Syria, even 
Venezuela. Except Israel. 
Israel is ordered to freeze all 
settlement activity. As Secre-
tary of State Hillary Clinton 
imperiously explained the 
diktat: "a stop to settlements 
— not some settlements, not 
outposts, not natural-growth 
exceptions." 
What's the issue? No 
"natural 
growth" 
means 
strangling to death the thriv-
ing towns close to the 1949 
armistice line, many of them 
suburbs of Jerusalem. that 
every negotiation over the 
past decade has envisioned 
Israel retaining It means 
no increase in population. 
Which means for every child 
born, someone has to move 
out. No community can sur-
vive like that. The obvious 
objective is to undermine 
and destroy these towns 
— even before ntgoliations. 
To what end? Over the past 
decade, the US. government 
has understood that any final 
peace treaty would involve 
Israel retaining some of the 
closciin settlements — and 
compensating the Palestin-
ians accordingly with land 
from within Israel itself. 
This idea is not only logi-
cal, not only accepted by both 
Dictating" no 
settlements not feasible. 
Democratic and Republican 
administrations for the past 
decade, but was agreed to in 
the letters of understanding 
exchanged between Israel 
and the US. in 2004 — and 
subsequently overwhelming-
ly endorsed by a concurrent 
resolution of Congress. 
Yet the Obama State 
I)epartment repeatedly has 
refused to endorse these 
agreements or even say it 
will honor them. This from a 
president who piously insists 
that all parties to the conflict 
honor previous obligations. 
The entire "natural growth" 
issue is a concoction. It's farci-
cal to suggest that the peace 
process is moribund because 
a teacher in the Jewish Qum-
ter of Jerusalem is making 
an addition to her house to 
accommodate new grandchil-
dren — when Gaza is run by 
Hamas terrorists dedicated 
to permanent war with Israel 
and when Mahmoud Abbas, 
having turned down every 
one of Ehud Olmert's peace 
offers, 
brazenly 
declares 
that he is in a waiting mode 
— waiting for Hanky; to be-
come moderate and for Isaacl 
to cave — before hell do any-
thing to advance peace. 
In his much-heralded 
"Muslim world" address in 
Cairo Thursday. President 
Obama declared that the 
Palestinian people's "situa-
tion" is "intolerable." Indeed 
it is. the result of 60 years 
of Palestinian leadership 
that gave its people cor-
ruption, tyranny, religious 
intolerance and forced mili-
tarization: leadership that 
for three generations — Haj 
Amin al-Husseini in 1947, 
Yasser Arafat in 2000, Mr. 
Abbas in December 2008 
— rejected every offer of 
independence and dignity, 
choosing destitution and de-
spair rather than accept any 
settlement not accompanied 
by the extinction of Israel. 
In the 16 years since the 
Oslo accords turned the West 
Bank and Gaza over to the 
Palestinians, their leaders 
— Fatah and Hamas alike 
— built no schools, no roads, 
no courthouses, no hospitals, 
no institutions that would re-
lieve their people's suffering 
Instead they poured every-
thing into an infrastructure 
of war and terror, all the while 
depositing billions (from gull-
ible Western donors) into 
their Swiss bank account& 
Mr. Obama says he came 
to Cairo to tell the truth. But 
he uttered not a word of that. 
Instead, he issued but one 
concrete declaration of new 
policy: "The United States 
does not accept the kgitima-
cy of continued Israeli settle-
ments," thus reinforcing the 
myth that Palestinian misery 
and statelessness are the fault 
of Israel and the settlements. 
Blaming Israel and pick-
ing a fight over "natural 
growth" may curry favor 
with the Muslim "street." 
But it will only induce the 
Arab states to do like Mr. Ab-
bas: sit and wait for America 
to deliver Israel on a platter. 
Which makes the Obama 
strategy not just dishonor-
able but self-defeating.

I.MERS TO THE EDITOR 
Post now backs expediency over public process? 
The Post's strong editorial endorsement 
of the Palm Beach County supervisor of 
elections request for Riviera Beach ware-
house space is contrary to another major 
Post editorial position regarding county 
government: integrity of public process. 
What did the stab, attorney's grand jury 
philosophically discuss and what would an 
inspector general say about this specific 
proposal: that the selection of the proposed 
site was not transparent, not competitive 
and the deal shouldn't be done. The site was 
identified among a number of potential prop-
erties and was selected by the supervisor 
without any public process. The price will be 
negotiated with the owner knowing that he 
has been selected as having the favored site. 
Other potential competitors were not given 
the opportunity to bid. This is all contrary to 
thoughts expressed in the grand jury report. 
So, if there were an inspector general, 
what would happen in this case? Nothing? 
County staff expressed concerns about the 
' preceding and other shortcomings with 
Too soon to stop harsh 
tactics that work? 
Presi(knt Obama labels 
the harsh interrogation tech-
niques of the Bush adminis-
tration "brutal" and "torture." 
Dick Cheney said they were 
lawful, safe, successful and 
not torture. This fundamen-
tal disagreement probably 
never will be reconciled. But 
the American people can ex-
amine and judge these other 
important issues: 
First, is it wise to change 
policy while we still are 
subject to terrorist attack? 
Next, is it time for Mr. 
Obama to provide the evi-
dence to support his claims 
that harsh techniques do 
not work and serve as an Al-
Qaeda recruiting tool? Mr. 
Cheney said the measures 
did work on three high-val-
ue terrorists, averting an at-
tack on Los Angeles, when 
milder methods did not. 
Finally, on the day Mr. 
Obama gave the nation his 
Guantanamo vision, his ad-
ministration announced that 
the first of the terrorist de-
tainees will be tried in New 
York. Sen. Charles Schumer, 
1)-NY, concurred. What will 
Mr. Obama and Sen. Schum-
the Riviera site as compared with the cur-
rent county-owned site to the county com-
mission, but the commission felt the same 
as The Post that turning down the super-
visor's request was unacceptable. No one 
wants to be perceived as having impeded 
the supervisor, whom the public elected, 
from doing her duties as she sees fit. 
So, it appears The Post thinks that expe-
diency — time constraint, in this case — is 
sufficient justification to violate tenets of 
good government as called out by the state 
attorney and grand jury. There are always 
expediencies, sometimes real, sometimes 
less so. What was done is not illegal. As 
we move forward to address how county 
government functions in the future, and 
what new bureaucracies, if any, are going to 
be formed to protect the public interest at 
taxpayers expense, people need to remem-
ber cases like this.

Renaming party dinner 
a slap to true heroes 
In answer to a letter-writer, 
I don't understand how a lob-
byist can say that the Palm 
Beach County Democratic 
Party made the correct deci-
sion in changing the name of 
the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner 
to the Truman-Kennedy-John-
son Dinner 
-
This is a major fund-raiser 
and has always been called 
Jefferson-Jackson in honor 
of our third and seventh 
presidents. Thomas Jefferson 
was the principal author 
of the Declaration of hider
pendence. Andrew Jackson 
helped to shaped the party 
and was a hero in his time. 
Truman used atomic bombs 
on Japan, killing 120,000 
innocent people. Johnson 
escalated the war in Vietnam 
that ended up costing 58000 
American live& He was a 
one-term president. 
Even Barack Obama said 
that he wanted a recovery 
plan that would put people 
back to work, "not because 
I believe in bigger govern-
ment." I don't. Changing the 
name of this fund-raiser does 
not reflect current Demo 
cratic policies. Let's not casu-
ally cast aside our history 
and those who are held in 
high esteem to this day.

Judge's ignorance of law 
Is no excuse, or Is It? 
Let me get this straight. 
A Palm Beach County 
circuit judge claims two 
homestead exemptions, and 
it took a battle between the 
judge and his wife's ex-
husband to bring it to the 
attention of the property 
appraiser? Something's very 
wrong here. 
First, there's incompe-
tence at the appraiser's of-
fice. Second, Judge Martin 
Colin wasn't aware that two 
homestead exemptions was 
illegal? Yeah, right. It's a 
travesty for all of us who fol-
low the law, pay our proper-
ty taxes honestly and work 
hard to do the right thing.

St 
David Brooks 
Cautious at heart 
Sonia Sotomayor 
had bad timing. If 
she'd entered col-
lege in the late-lari0s 
or early-1960s, she 
would have been 
surrounded by an 
ethos that encour-
aged :quart young 
ethnic kids to as-
similate. If she'd en-
tered Princeton and 
Yale in the 1980s, her ethnicity and gender 
would have been mildly interesting traits 
among the many she might possess. 
But she happened to attend Princeton 
and then Yale Law School in the 1970s. 
These were the days when what we now 
call multiculturalism was just coming 
into its own. These were the days when 
the whole race, class and gender aca-
demic-industrial complex seemed fresh, 
exciting and just. 
There was no way she was going to 
get out of that unmarred. And, in fact, 
in the years since she has given a series 
of speeches that have made her a poster 
child for identity politics. In these speech-
es, race and gender take center stage. Ifs 
not only the one comment about a wise La-
tina making better decisions than a white 
male; it's the whole litany. If you read just 
these specie hes you might come away with 
the impression that she was a racial activ-
ist who is just using the judicial system as 
a vehicle for her social crusade. 
And yet her history and conversations 
with her colleagues suggest this is not the 
main story. If you kok at the whole record. 
you come away with the impression that 
Judge Sotomayor is a hardworking care-
ful-though-unspectacular 
jurist 
whose 
primary commitment is to the law. 
When she left Yale, she didn't take the 
route designed to reinforce her ideologi-
cal dispositions. She became a prosecutor 
with District Attorney Robert Morgenthau 
in Manhattan. She told The New York Times 
in 1983 that in making this decision, she 
faced "a tremendous amount of pressure 
from my community from the third-world 
community at Yale. They could not under-
stand why I was taking this jab." 
In the years since, she has not followed 
the easy course. More than any current 
member of the Supreme Court, she worked 
her way up through the furnace levels of 
the legal system. And when she reached a 
position of authority, she did not turn hen 
self into an Al Sharpton in robes, 
She is quite liberal. But there's little 
evidence that she is motivated by racial-
ist thinking or an activist attitude. 
Tbm Goldstein of Scotusbkig conducted 
a much-cited study of the 96 race-related 
cases that have come before her. Like 
almost all judges, she has rejected a vast 
. . 
majority 
of 
the 
claims 
of 
racial 
discrimination that 
came to her. She 
dissented from her 
colleagues in only 
four of those cases. 
And in only one did 
she find racial dis-
crimination where 
they did not. Even 
with what she calls 
her "Latina soul: she saw almost every 
case pretty much as they did. 
When you read her opinions, race and 
gender arc invisible. I'm obviously not 
qualified to judge the legal quality of her 
opinions. But when you read the docu-
ments merely as examples of persuasive 
writing, you find that they are almost en-
tirely impersonal and deracinated. 
'lb my eye, Judge Sotomayor's opinions 
are the products of a clear and honest if 
unimaginative mind. She sticks close to 
precedent and the details of a case. There's 
no personal flavor (in the boring parts one 
wishes there were). There's no evidence of 
a grand ideological style or even much intel-
lectual ambition. If you had to pick a word to 
describe them, it would be "restraint." 
Looked at in her totality, Judge Soto-
mayor seems to be a smart, careful, hard-
working judicial professional, who along 
the way picked up a patina of 1970s race-. 
class- and gender-consciousness. 
It's interesting to compare Judge 
Sotomayor's 
thinking 
with 
Barack 
Obamak. On the grand matters of race in 
America they are quite different. Judge 
Soto mayor has given a series of speeches 
arguing that it is not possible or even de-
sirable to transcend our racial or gender 
sympathies and prejudices. During the 
presidential campaign, then-Sen. Obama 
gave a speech in Philadelphia arguing for 
precisely that, calling on America to move 
beyond the old categories and argument& 
Judge Sotomayor sometimes draws a 
straight line between ethnicity, gender 
and behavior. President Obama emphasiz-
es our multiple identities and the complex 
blend of influences on an individual life. 
Yet in practice, they do have a lot in 
common. In practice, Judge Sotomayor is 
a liberal incrementalist. Her careful opin-
ions embody the sort of judicial minimal-
ism that President Obama and his aide. 
Cass Sunstein admire most. 
In short, Judge So tomayork career 
surpasses the crude categories she some-
times articulates. Despite the ideas she 
picked up while young she has, over many 
years, chosen to submit herself to the dis-
cipline of the law, and she bas not abused 
its institutions. I hope she's confirmed.

Madoff Jewish? Big deal. 
By MIKA MANDELL 
Jewish news flash: Not 
everyone is as keenly 
aware as you are that the 
world's 
most 
notorious 
Ponzi schemer is Jewish. 
A professor of mine who 
closely followed news about 
Bernard Madoff had no idea 
about his religious back-
ground. As it turned out, 
she was hospitalized when 
Madoffs Jewish affiliation. 
and the disproportionate 
number of his Jewish inves-
tors made news. And after 
her release, it never mea-
sured on her radar. Another 
professor expressed sur-
prise to learn that Jews may 
be sensitive to Madoffs 
religious background. 
Neither professor is 
Jewish. That's the point. 
Cognitive psychology in-
structs us that information 
important to us is kept in 
the forefront of our minds. 
Perhaps 
the 
professors 
didn't associate Madoff and 
Jewish because Judaism 
does not place their radars 
on high alert. As a PhD 
student studying Madoff, 
I have spent much time 
thinking about how people 
of various religious back-
grounds react to Madoffs 
Jewish identity. 
People with a Jewish 
identity (of which I'm one) 
seem to have reached a 
consensus that Madoffs 
Jewish background may 
fuel anti-Semitism. But 
we also tend to assume 
that non-Jews will think 
less of us simply because 
Medoff shares our reli-
gious customs. In Febru-
ary, Abraham H. Foxman, 
national director of the 
Anti-Defamation League, 
wrote in The Post that the 
Madoff story prompted "an 
outpouring of anti-Semitic 
comments on mainstream 
and extremist Web sites." 
His statement leads me to 
* believe that anti-Jewish ex-
i 
Tunis out it is, but 
only if you're Jewish. 
pressionwascommonplace, 
and perhaps increased, 
thanks to Medoff and the 
Internees anonymity. 
However, a survey I 
conducted in March as part 
of my research contradicts 
that statement. The anony-
mous, online survey was 
completed by 178 individu-
als from across the US. It 
was sent to Jewish e-mail 
lists and a Christian semi-
nary in Boston, and Chris-
tian e-mail lists in New 
York. It also was posted on 
the Web site of the Jewish 
Journal ofins Angeles 
Jewish respondents gen-
erally agreed that "Madoff 
gives Jews a bad name." 
with the Jewish average 
resting at "I feel this way 
often." Non-Jews, however, 
had a different response. 
Whether one identified 
as Protestant, Catholic, 
Christian or having no 
religious affiliation, the 
average response was the 
same: It fell smack in the 
middle of "I feel this way 
rarely" and "I never feel 
this way." So much for non-
Jewish respondents think-
ing that Madoff is a dark 
smudge on all Jews. . 
Generally, 
Protestants, 
Catholics, Christians and 
those without religious affil-
iation did not find Madoffs 
religion to be relevant. In-
stead, his religious identity 
was more important to Jew-
ish respondents; 59 percent 
have thought at some point 
that they would feel better 
if Madoff were Protestant, 
Muslim, Catholic or Hindu. 
Regardless of these dif-
ferences, my survey also 
finds a similarity between 
the groups. All religious 
groups agreed that the 
media focus on Madoff's 
Jewish torkkground was 
"just right." Respondents 
probably recognized that 
Madoffs 
Jewish 
back-
ground played a role in 
how he recruited investors. 
Therefore, they saw media 
coverage of this fact as rel-
evant to the story, even if 
Medoff's specific religion 
was irrelevant to them. 
While I cannot gen-
eralize, the findings still 
offer insight. Jews may be. 
surprised to learn that non-
Jewish respondents have 
expressed 
cool-headed 
opinions about Madoffs 
religious background, not 
anti-Semitic 
ramblings. 
Non-Jews may be surprised 
to learn how sensitive 
Jewish respondents are to 
Madoffs religion, and the 
extent to which Jewish re-
spondents worry about how 
non-Jews think about them. 
Not surprisingly, Marlon 
religion is a source of shame 
for many Jews It's impos-
sible to reflect on Jewish 
concern over what "the 
Gentiles must think" with-
out acknowledging a history 
pockmarked with extreme 
persecution. If the Madoff 
scandal took place in early 
20th-century Europe, One 
can imagine it prompting a 
pogrom against Jews. But if 
the survey results are any 
indication, Jews are their 
toughest critics. 
Cognitive 
psychology 
can help explain that, too. 
When something is dear 
to you, you seek to protect 
its reputation. Personal is-
sues such as religion are 
intertwined with identity. 
And while Madoffs house 
of cards toppled, identity is 
a much harder enterprise 
to collapse.

student in mass communica-
tions at the S.I. Newhouse 
School of Public Communi-
cation, Syracuse University,

Another lawsuit against billionaire 
Jeffrey Epstein 
Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein soon to be 
Charged 
Is Jeffrey Epstein Making A Deal? 
Is billionaire sex offender getting 
special treatment? 
WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- Attorneys representing 
several young women suing Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey 
Epstein were in court today, asking a judge to unseal what 
they call a "sweetheart dear made between Epstein and 
the U.S. Attorney's Office. 
Federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges against 
Epstein. now 56, when the financier agreed to plead guilty 
to state charges last year. 
The Palm Beach billionaire was convicted of procuring 
teenagers for prostitution. 
"I can't think of any other reason why it would happen in 
this case, but for his power. influence and wealth." said the 
plaintiffs' attorney Brad Edwards.
The sealed agreement, says Edwards. contains 
information relevant if not vital to their civil case. 
"And every day that goes by their rights are violated: said 
Edwards' law partner Wiliam Berger, "and why should 
their rights be violated any further'?" 
Epstein's attorney argues the deal his client made with 
federal prosecutors should remain sealed. 
"You've got to remember that it was the court that asked 
the record to be sealed and it was done during the course 
of the proceedings: said Epstein's lawyer Jack 
Goldenberger. 
Deanna Shullman. another attorney, weighed in as well. 
Shullman, representing the media and the public's right to 
see what's in those documents. says there was. as best as 
she can tell, no compelling legal standard applied when the judge originally sealed the documents. 
"The frustration is we have no idea why these records were sealed because it seems to have been sealed by a 
simple agreement of the parties: said Shullman. 
Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath seemed inclined to agree the deal should never have been sealed in the first 
place. but gave Epstein's lawyers until Friday to file papers and arguments persuading him otherwise. 
They're scheduled to meet again in court June 25th 
"Justice delayed is justice denied and that's where we are now," said a disappointed Edwards.
"He's not getting special treatment," insisted Epstein's lawyer Jack Goldberger, "The law does not require the

records to be sealed under these circumstances' 
Edwards says they have been allowed to read the sealed agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors. 
And while they're legally bound from discussing it, they say if it is eventually unsealed, the public will be 
"outraged" by what's in it.

Judge delays ruling on request 
to unseal plea deal in sex case 
By SUSAN SPENCER-WENDEL 
Palm Beach Post Staff ;Warr 
WEST PALM BEACH — A 
circuit judge on Wednes-
day did not unseal the 
deal that money manager 
Jeffrey Epstein of Palm 
Beach struck with fed-
eral prosecutors to avoid 
charges, opting instead 
to give Epstein's lawyers 
a chance to 
demonstrate 
.why it should 
remain 
hid-
den 
from 
public view. 
Circuit 
Judge 
Jeff Epstein 
Colbath 
ac-
knowledged at a hearing 
that Epstein's deal was not 
sealed in state court in ac-
cordance with the rules. 
don't see where any 
of the procedures were 
ever followed." he said. 
Colbath 
has 
given 
Epstein's defense attorney, 
Jack Goldberger, an op-
portunity to argue that the 
document was properly 
sealed and asked lawyers 
to submit briefs to him by 
Friday. Colbath also set a 
full hearing for June 25. 
Attorneys 
for young 
women now suing Epstein 
are asking Colbath to un-
seal the deal that Epstein 
brokered 
with 
federal 
prosecutors. A lawyer for. 
The Palm Beach Post also 
has joined in the request. 
"It's a secret agree-
ment. A secret, sweetheart 
agreement," said former 
Circuit Judge Bill Berger, 
who now represents some 
of the women. 
"Everybody 
was 
in 
on this deal except the 
victims and the public," 
Berger said. "The public 
should be outraged it has 
gone as far as it has." 
A 
second 
attorney 
representing the women, 
Brad Edwards. has seen 
the sealed document. A 
federal judge allowed him 
and his clients to view it, 
but not to discuss its con-
tents. 
Edwards 
said 
the 
women were "outraged" at 
what had been negotiated 
without their knowledge. 
A reporter asked Edwards 
if he thought Epstein re-
ceived special treatment 
by federal prosecutors. 
"Are you kidding? Its 
transparent. Certainly no 
one else gels treated like 
that," Edwards said. 
Epstein, 56, a reported 
money manager of billion-
aires, is currently serving 
an 18-month sentence in 
the Palm Beach County 
Stockade after pleading 
guilty nearly a year ago 
in state court to felony 
solicitation of prostitution 
and procuring teenagers 
for prostitution. 
The saga began years 
ago when the Palm Beach 
Police Department 
investigating 
whet er 
young women were be-
ing brought to Epstein's-
mansion on El Brillo Way 
to massage him and have 
sex with him in exchange 
for money. 
Epstein's 
attorneys, 
in federal filings, have 
referred to sealed docu-
ments as a deferred pros-
ecution agreement with 
federal prosecutors and 
have called it -unprec-
edented" 
and 
"highly 
unusual." 
Goldberger said his cli-
ent has not received any 
special treatment.

Drive nets $1.3 million for charities 
Four organizations 
raised 'safety net' cash 
for 30 local nonprofits. 
By SONJA ISGER 
Palm Beath Post Staff Mites 
After being hit with 
the double-barrel crisis of 
fewer donations and more 
people in need of basics 
such as food and shelter. 
more than 30 local chari-
ties were shown a glimmer 
of hope Wednesday. 
They will be getting a 
piece of $1.3 million raised 
in just one month. 
The organizers report 
that the payoff is bigger 
than the charities bottom 
lines. 
They say more than 
11,300 families and 200,000 
individuals will receive 
food; the money will pro-
vide shelter to more than 
14.925 families. More than 
27,525 patients will get ac-
cess to health care and 518

parents, homeless chil-
dren and those living with 
elderly caretakers began

the money on May 1.

that 
private 
donors 
pitched 
in more than $291,000, 
corporate donors such as 
Bank of America came up 
with another S50,000, and 
foundations such as the 
Roy J. Zuckerberg Family 
Foundation and the John 
S. and James L Knight 
foundations 
contributed 
$100.000. 
The amount raised was 
then matched to bring 
the total to more than 
$583,000. And then the 
four funders said they 
would

another 
$708,000 and change.

FAU to accept fewer medical students 
By KIMBERLY MILLER 
Palm &mit Pori Stellhter 
FRKA RATON - Fewer 
future doctors will be ac-
cepted to the fledgling 
medical program at Flor-
ida Atlantic University as 
the school wrestles with 
overall budget cuts of $16.7 
million. 
The program, which is 
part of the University of 
Miami's medical school, 
plans to drop new enroll-
ment to 48 students this 
fall from initial hopes of 
admitting 64 annually. 
The College of Biomed-
ical Science's share of the 
university's total budget 
reduction plan is $1.5 mil-
lion. The budget proposal 
was presented to a com-
mittee of FAU's board of 
trustees during a meeting 
Wednesday. 
About 130 students are 
currently enrolled in the 
Budget cuts will lower new enrollment to 48 
instead of the goal of 64 students annually. 
university's medical pro-
gram. 
The medical 
school 
opened at FAU in August 
2004, enrolling an initial 
16 students who took their 
firs: two years of classes in 
Boca Raton and the final 
two years at UM. 
A full-four year program 
at FAU opened in 2007 — a 
year ahead of schedule 
and one reason school 
officials arent overly con-
cerned about the current 
reduction in enrollment. 
"We are not immune to 
what is happening state-
wide and nationally," said 
Ken Jessell, FAlls, vice 
president for university 
finance, about the 816.7 
million cut — the single 
largest reduction in uni-
versity history. 
Overall. FAU proposes 
cutting 45 majors, 140 un-
filled jobs and 30 filled po-
sitions. Five of those filled 
positions are tenured fac-
ulty in the College of En-
gineering and Computer 
Science, which underwent 
a reorganization this year. 
Faculty members have 
expressed concerns about 
how their colleagues were 
laid off, stating during a 
meeting last week that 
the reorganization was a 
way to circumvent tenure 
policies that require less 
experienced faculty to be 
laid off first.

Brogan, in an exchange

Florida Atlantic aims 
to give some teeth to the

By KIMBERLY MILLER 
Palm Beach Past Staff litter 
Florida's auditor general 
will review university text-
book purchases to ensure 
compliance with a new law 
requiring schools to seek 
out cheaper materials for 
students. 
A Florida Atlantic Uni-
versity trustee committee 
adopted a policy Wednes-
day to comply with the 
law, learning that if profes-
sors don't comply, they will 
be called out in the audit. 
Students had expressed 
concerns that there were 
no repercussions for non-
compliance. 
"This has been a hot 
issue for students because 
of increased tuition and 
increased fees," said FAU 
student government Presi-
dent Tiffany Weimar. "But 
while the implementation 
is great, a strong follow-up 
is missing: 
FAU 
Associate 
Vice 
President 
for Financial 
Affairs Dennis Crudele 
said lie hopes the attention 
from state auditors will 
help with enforcement. 
The new textbook af-
fordability law was passed 
in 2008. 
It requires several ini-
tiatives including: 
• 
Ensure 
textbook 
access to students who 
cannot afford to buy their 
own. 
• Post a list of required 
textbooks at least 30 days 
before the first day of 
class so students can shop 
around for the best deals. 
• 
Require professors 
to state their intent to 
use all items that come 
with a textbook such as 
CUs, which can increase 
a book's cost. 
• Determine the need 
for a new edition of a book 
when one is assigned.

Tennis tour idea 
losing in Delray 
By MARIA HERRERA 
Sun Sentinel 
DELRAY BEACH — A 
promoter who wants to 
bring an international 
tennis tournament to Del-
ray Beach must change 
his proposal for the city's 
budget task force to rec-
ommend approval. 
Mark Baron, whose 
Match Point Inc. runs 
the International Ten-
nis Championships and 
the ATP World Tour, 
asked the city last week 
to co-sponsor the ATP 
Champions Tour and pay 
$375,000. plus an annual 
3 percent increase for the 
next 20 years. 
"The end result is that 
he's supposed to revise 
the contract." said Todd 
L'Herrou, a member of 
the task force, after the 
group met with Baron 
on Tuesday "It would be 
very hard to recommend 
approval at this point." 
Baron said the ATP 
Champions Tour is played 
around the world and few 
tures retired players such 
as John McEnroe and Pete 
Sampra.s. Baron billed the 
tour as the first of its kind 
in the United States. 
Opposition to the event 
is mounting 
Renzo Raiss, a Delray 
Revise the contract,

force tells a promoter. 
resident 
who 
worked 
with professional tennis 
players in the 1970s. said 
the tour has not been suc-
cessful in other cities in 
the country. 
"This is normally a 
sponsorship of a hotel to 
stimulate a bit of interest 
in the location," he said. 
Raiss said he would 
organize his neighbors 
against 
the 
proposal 
should 
taxpayers 
be 
stuck with the bill. 
Delray is facing a 15 
percent decrease in tax 
revenue, or about $7 mil-
lion, and officials said 
they already have been 
criticized for sponsoring 
other tennis events. 
The city's budget task 
force said last year that 
such sponsorships are 
costing Delray about $2 
million a year because of 
a 25-year agreement with 
Match Point. The deal 
makes the city responsi-
ble for cleanup, security,

Notice of pu odic h arings 
The Ronda Public Service Commission has scheduled seven customer sante hearings in your area as part of its decision-
making process in Docket No. 08C677-El, regarding Florida Power & Light Company's request for a rate increase. If the request 
is approved. base rates would increase by $12.40 in 2010 over the January 2009 typical 1,000 kilowatt-hour residential 
bill. However. rt the Commission approves FPL's fuel cost recovery request for 2010. FPL estimates that a typical residential bill 
would actually decrease by about $5 monthly horn approximately $109 to $104 starting Jan. 1, 2010 Thai's because the base 
increase of $12.40 would be more than offset due to lower fuel costs. The lower fuel costs are based on Feb. 9. 2009. fuel price 
preecticas for 2010 as well as improvements in power wart fuel efficiency Most business customer bills would decrease as 
well. In 2011, FPL is requesting an additional base rate increase of $2.84 a month on a typical residential bill.

Water district won't raise tax rate 
Managers hope that 
property values don't 
fall as far as expected. 
By PAUL QUINLAN 
Palm Beach Past Staff Writer 
The South Florida Wa-
ter Management District 
will not hike its property 
tax rate despite plans to 
finance the state's prici-
est-ever conservation land 
purchase amid a historic 
plunge in real estate values. 
leaders said Wednesday. 
The agency 
expects 
revenues to drop about 
$340 million this year, in 
part because property val-
ues across the district's 16 
counties in South and Cen-
tral Florida are anticipated 
to plunge 12.3 percent, 
water managers said. 
The district is planning 
a $1.5 billion budget for the 
2010 spending year, which 
begins Oct. 1. 
The agency's tax rate 
is 62.4 cents for each 
$1,000 of taxable value. 
At that rate, the owner of 
a $250,000 home with a 
$50,000 homestead exemp-
tion would pay $124.80 to 
the district. 
Wednesday's 
discus-
sion came as the district 
prepares to finance Gov. 
Charlie Crist's monumen-
tal Everglades restoration 
plan: a $536 million pur-
chase of 73,000 acres of 
U.S. Sugar Corp. farmland. 
The concept calls for 
eventually 
building 
a 
chain of reservoirs and 
marshes that could re-cre-
ate the historic flowing 
connection between Lake 
Okeechobee and the Ev-
erglades. 
The land deal alone 
will saddle the district 
with $45.7 million in an-
nual debt payments over 
the next 30 years, Budget 
Director Doug Bergstrom 
told the district's board at 
a meeting in Naples. 
Water managers main-
tain that the deal with US. 
Sugar — downsized twice 
from Crist's original plan 
to buy out the company for 
$1.75 billion — would not 
impair the district's ability 
to perform its core duties 
of flood control and water 
supply management. 
The one silver lining 
to this year's dire budget 
season: 
Water 
manag-
ers are optimistic that 
district-wide 
property 
values actually may drop 
less than 123 percent as 
June estimates tend to be 
overly conservative, Berg-
strom said. 
The board will meet 
in July to review the pro-
posed budget before hold-
ing two public hearings in 
September. The district 
also must submit the bud-
get to Crist, who has the 
power to veto it.

Copter to spray west county mosquitoes 
By BILL DIPAOLO 
Palm Beach Post Staff Wein 
If you're an adult mos-
quito, Friday night would 
be a good time to bug out 
of western Palm Beach 
County 
A Huey helicopter is 
scheduled to spray Di-
brom. a chemical that 
bumps off the irritating 
insects by disrupting their 
nervous systems. 
Spraying will start at 
sundown and is planned 
for four hours over 215,000 
acres west of Military 
Trail in south county, the 
Glades, Wellington, Jupiter 
Farms, Palm Beach Coun-
try Estates, Caloosa, Loxa-
hatchee, The Acreage and 
Royal Palm Beach. 
"The mosquitoes are 
really annoying people." 
said Gary Goode, environ-
mental analyst with the 
Palm Beach County mos-
quito control division. 
The spraying is neces-
sary because of recent 
rains, Goode said. 
The 151 inches of 
precipitation 
• recorded 
in made May the second 
wettest month since 1890, 
when 16.2 inches fell at 
Palm Beach International 
Airport. This year's heavy 
rains followed one of the 
driest 
November-to-May 
dry seasons on record, 
according to the National 
Weather Service. 
If South Florida has 
steady precipitation, the 
rains will wash away the 
eggs that the insects lay 
on the ground. But if rains 
are heavy for two weeks 
then drop off for the next 
two weeks, the eggs will 
have time and a place to 
hatch, Goode said. 
Rubbing out nuisance 
mosquitoes — females can 
lay 200 eggs every time 
they bite — is the goal of 
Friday night's spraying. 
So far, the county has 
had no reports of disease-
carrying 
mosquitoes, 
Goode said.

executive director of water

meeting in Naples. "This 
has been a soaking rain 
from the top of the system

Water now has reached 
above-average depths in 
vast swaths of the Ever-

Meanwhile,

est levels seen in decades, 
said Peter Kwiatkowski, 
Hie district's director of 
resource evaluation. 
Watering limits 
These restrictions are in place for most of South 
Florida and the Treasure Coast, including Palm 
Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. Water 
managers may make them permanent. 
Odd-numbered addresses: Watering allowed 
Wednesdays and Saturdays. 
Even-numbered addresses and properties with no 
address: Watering allowed Thursdays and Sundays. 
Hours: No watering between 10 a.m. and 4 pro. 
Exceptions: One-day-a-week limits remairein Lake 
Worth. No restrictions are in effect for Highland Beach, 
which draws all of its water from the Floridan Aquifer. 
"Rainfall has recharged 
the aquifer levels to the 
point where things are in 
really great shape," he said.

said they cannot be sure 
whether the wet season 
will bring below- or above-
average rainfall, although 
forecasts suggest the latter. 
Exceptional one-day-a-

remain in place in a few

Aaronson: Authority's 
debt load a concern 
► GARBAGE from IB 
set for Aug 19. 
Meanwhile, Commis-
sioner Burt 
Aaronson 
said he is concerned 
about the amount of debt 
the authority is carrying, 
and questioned whether 
commissioners 
should 
continue to seek an alter-
native location for a new 
landfill. 
In 2007, the authority 
scrapped plans to build 
the new landfill on 1,600 
acres it owns next to 
the Arthur R. Marshall 
Loxahatchee 
National 
Wildlife Refuge. Environ-
mentalists argued that 
the landfill would dam-
age wildlife and water 
quality in the refuge. the 
northernmost remnant of 
the Everglades. 
Commissioners 
are 
evaluating 
two 
new 
sites. But Aaronson said 
the plan would cost the 
county $70 million. 
"It is a very difficult 
thing for me knowing 
full well that we have this 
piece of property," Aaron-
son said. He added: "We 
should take advantage of 
anything that doesn't coat 
us money."

million 90-pound boxes for the 2008-09 
season, up by 2 million boxes from last 
month's estimate, the US. Department 
of Agriculture said Wednesday. 
The USDA said the increase this 
year is made up entirely of Valencias,

'The demand for RV-ing is still unbelievably strong,' Silver Palms RV Village developer Bill Harvey says. 
Since constructiong began last July. Harvey has sold about one-third of the completed 167 sites. 
RV resort builder hopes 
to keep business rolling in 
By TRACEY McMANUS 
Palm Reach Pod Staff Writes 
OKEECHOBEE— In a pocket of land 
north of Lake Okeechobee, past the wind-
ing nature trails that fill this 5,600-person 
town, Bill Harvey is patiently waiting. 
He waits for the flock of snowbirds 
traveling in recreational vehicles headed 
for the warmth of the South. But the com-
mercial real estate developer's also hoping 
to point those travelers to his new Silver 
Palms RV Village, a $15 million project 
built on faith that a recession could never 
kill Americans passion for IN travel. 
"The demand for RV-ing is still unbe-
lievably strong." Harvey said. "and it's not 
something people are willing to give up 
now." 
Harvey bases that optimistic outlook on 
the fact that over the past five years. nearly 
50 Florida campgrounds have been sold 
to developers and turned into condos and 
strip malls. That's left a gaping hole in the 
demand for RV sites, he said; one he aims 
to fill. 
A PKF Consulting study has shown that 
even with gas prices on an upswing, RV 
vacations can be 27 percent to 61 percent 
less expensive than other forms of travel 
for the savings on hotel, airfare and rental 
car costs. 
As families turn to vacationing in mobile 
homes, }Campgrounds of America, a chain 
of 450 RV parks in North America, report-
ed a 3 percent increase in campers this 
Memorial Day weekend. 
"A lot of people are camping today in-
stead of other forms of travel," said Bobby 
Cornwell, executive director of the Florida 
Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds. 
"It's the RV sales that are down; not be-
cause of a lack of popularity, but it's ... 
lending and being able to get financing." 
In fact, new 1W sales are down 57.6 per-
cent in the past year because of financing 
trouble, but Cornwell said current owners 
of mobile homes are camping now more

than ever. 
And Harvey said those faithful to the 
RV lifestyle are now demanding a new 
generation of campsites, equipped with 
the activities of a recreation center and the 
atmosphere of a country club. 
When construction wraps up on Silver 
Palms in late July, the park will be a part of 
this new species of campgrounds — with 
a pool, hot tub. 9,000-square-foot clubhouse 
with a ballroom, lakes and daily activities 
for residents. Moreover, the IN sites sit in 
the landscaped. 90-acre gated community 
and are paved in flashy stone. 
Since construction began last July. 
Harvey has sold about one-third of the 
completed 167 sites. Eventually, the park 
will have 512 RV sites, starting at $55,900, 
which Harvey said people are willing to 
pay to be able to own their own site in a 
competitive market. 
"I felt really good at the prospect of mov-
ing forward and spending millions on this," 
he said. "There's nothing in Okeechobee 
that's even close to us."

County 
won't get 
ethanol 
facility 
UF instead plans to 
build the plant closer 
to Gainesville. 
By SUSAN SALISBURY 
Palm Beach Post Staff lifiter 
Palm Beach County has 
been jettisoned as the site 
of a University of Florida 
ethanol plant. 
In the works for two 
years. the proposed $20 
million research and dem-
onstration plant was slated 
to be built next to Florida 
Crystals Corp.'s Okeelanta 
mill and refinery near 
South Bay. 
But 
University 
of 
Florida 
officials 
said 
Wednesday that revamped 
plans now call for building 
a smaller plant closer to 
Gainesville, where it will 
benefit from proximity to 
UF's faculty and staff. 
With Verenium Corp., 
BP and Lykes Brothers 
proceeding with plans to 
build a 36 million-gallon-a-
year commercial cellulosic 
ethanol plant in Highlands 
County that will use simi-
lar technology, the idea 
of a demonstration plant 
became obsolete. 
"The process moved 
faster than the project.-
Florida Crystals' spokes-
man Gaston Cantens said 
Wednesday. "That com-
bined with the fact that 
the $20 million was not 
going to be sufficient to 
build the project we had 
anticipated and no other 
funds were available led to 
this change." 
In 2007. the state legis-
lature awarded $20 million 
to UF's Institute of Food 
and Agricultural Sciences 
to establish a research 
plant to commercialize UF 
Professor Lonnie Ingram's 
patented technology for 
producing ethanol from 
the woody parts of plant!,
The 
"next-generation' 
biorefinery will produce 
ethanol and plastics from 
agricultural residues and 
woody materials. said Joe 
Joyce, UF executive as-
sociate vice president for 
agriculture and natural 
resources. 
Also in 2007, a UF panel 
chose the southwestern 
Palm Beach County loca-
tion from among six con-
tenders. Florida Crystals 
had agreed to provide the 
land and utilities for the 
plant.

Bailout plan offers small businesses up to $35,000

WELLINGTON — After 
spending billions to bail out 
banks, taxpayers are poised 
to offer a much smaller 
amount for loans to strug-
gling small businesses. 
Starting Monday, employ-
ers can apply for loans of up 
to $35,000 through the Small 
Business 
Administration's 
America's Recovery Capital 
program. The terms are gen-
erous: No payments for the 
first year, and no interest for 
five years after that. 
Not everyone will qualify. 
'lb land one of the emergency 
loans, a small business must 
be in trouble — but not too 
much trouble. 
Borrowers must face "im-
mediate financial hardship:

sales are falling or they can't 
pay employees or lenders. 
But borrowers also must be 
"viable." defined as positive 
cash flow for at least one of 
the past two years. 
Borrowers can't be more 
than 60 days behind on any 
loan, must have "an accept-
able business credit score" 
and must present a convinc-
ing plan for surviving the 
Irension. 
"You've got to show us what 
you're going to do." said Tom

Gallman 
spoke to 25 small 
business 
own-
ers 
Wednesday 
at a seminar in 
Wellington 
or-
ganized by the Palms West 
Chamber of Commerce. 
Lenders said they're still 
waiting for details from the 
SBA about the program, but 
they predict a flood of inter-
est front borrowers. 
"I'm assuming everybody 
in the room is going to at 
least ask the question," said 
Jaene Miranda, chief execu-
tive of the Palms West Cham-
ber of Commerce. 
Lenders from NVachovia. 
SunTrust, TI) Bank, Wash-
ington Mutual and National 
City said theyll make loans 
through the SBA program. 
However, all said they'll offer 
the loans only to businesses 
that already have accounts 
with them. 
The SBA has S250 million 
for the America's Recovery 
Capital loans. It expects to 
make about 10,000 loans na-
tionwide.

FORT PIERCE —Two Fort Pierce residents

money in their home on iedra Avenue, 
the St. Luck- County Sheriff's Office 
said. Brenda Hopkins, 46, was arrested 
on charges of counterfeiting money 
and possessing tools for counterfeit-
ing. Ronald Jensen, 51, was arrested 
on charges of counterfeiting money,

and tampering with evidence. Both 
were taken to the St. Lucie County Jail. 
Deputies found counterfeit $20 bills

Nine male manatees pursued a female while trying to mate Sunday on Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

► MANATEES from IR 
slapping their tails, hug-
ging each other with their 
flippers, and occasionally 
piling up on sandbars or 
the beach. 
Tuesday's 
beaching 
was tame compared to 
the spectacle on Lauder-
dale-by-the-Sea on Sunday, 
when a female in heat was 
pursued by nine males. 
Onlookers snapped photos 
of the manatees cavort-
ing in the shallow surf as 
the fire department kept 
order. 
Katie Tripp, director of 
science and conservation 
at the Save the Manatee 
Club, said that with each 
animal weighing in at 
more than 1,000 pounds, a 
herd of amorous manatees 
can be quite a sight. 
it's really no wonder 
that 
people get 
fasci-
nated," Tripp said, "when 
you get 5, 10, 15, manatees 
splashing around in the 
shallow water' 
The act itself is over 
in 15 to 30 seconds, but a 
female in heat may attract 
many eager males that 
pursue her for days. Ma-
rine biologists don't agree 
on why they sometimes 
swim onto the beach - it 
might help with mating, or 
maybe the females just get 
tired. 
If all goes well, a calf 
will be born in about 12 
months. 
It's fine to watch the 
manatees mate from a dis-
tance, Tripp said, but give 
them a little privacy. 
"If they can not really 
know that you are there, 
that's really for the best," 
Tripp said. "Just stay back 
and allow them to focus on 
making new manatees."

Teacher suspended in boy's 
vote-out can keep contract 
By CARA FITZPATRICK 
Palm Brach Post Staff Mater 
FORT PIERCE — After 
teary pleas from support-
ers, the St. Lucie County 
School 
Board 
voted 
unanimously 
Wednes-
day to uphold a one-year 
unpaid 
sus-
pension 
for 
Wendy Porti-
a teacher 
who 
asked 
students last 
year to vote 
on 
whether 
a child could 
stay in class, but rejected 
a 
recommendation 
to 
terminate her continuing 
contract. 
Portillo, 
a 
12-year 
veteran of Morningside 
Elementary, put her head 
down and wept after the 
vote When she looked up 
she was smiling. 
"I didn't think this was 
going to happen, and I'm 
just happy I'm going to go 
a al 
Portillo 
back to doing what I love," 
she said after the person-
nel hearing. 
Portillo, who will finish 
her suspension in No-
vember, faced a tougher 
punishment. 
Superintendent 
Mi-
chael 
Lannon 
recom-
mended that Portillo be 
suspended without pay 
for a year, returned to 
an annual contract and 
prohibited from teaching 
young children again in 
St. Lucie. He had con-
sidered, but ultimately 
rejected firing her. 
Portillo appealed the 
punishment to the state 
Division of Administra-
tive Hearings, but the 
judge ruled against her. 
School board members 
had to decide Wednesday 
whether to accept the 
judge's ruling in full or, 
based on the case record, 
to modify it. Their param-
eters for doing so were 
narrow. 
The incident, in which 
Portillo asked her kinder-
garten students to vote on 
whether then 5-year-old 
Alex Barton could remain 
in class, polarized the 
community and attracted 
an onslaught of attention. 
Students voted 14-2 for 
him to leave. 
That Alex was later di-
agnosed with Asperger's 
syndrome, 
a 
form of 
autism, and had been 
under evaluation for it at 
the time only added to the 
controversy. 
Melissa Barton, Alex's 
mother, didn't attend the 
hearing. She said she 
and her family had been 
threatened 
since 
the 
incident. She removed 
Alex from public school 
afterward. 
She called Wednesday's 
decision "disgusting"

Rules on 
watering 
won't get 
tougher 
By PAUL QUINLAN 
Palm Beath Prat Ste Writer 
You can thank the rain 
for preventing water man-
agers from imposing even 
stricter, limits on your 
sprinklers. 
Had this spring's severe 
drought continued, one-
day-a-week 
restrictions 
might have been imposed 
in Palm Beach and Bro-

Instead, 
most of the re-
gam will remain under the 
two-day-a-week sprinkler 
limits that water managers 
ultimately are trying to 
make permanent. 
Today the district will 
consider 
relaxing 
the 
one-day-a-week watering 
restrictions it had clamped
last month on Miami-Dade 
County and the Keys. just 
before four weeks of near-
daily rain jolted South 
Florida. People in those 
counties also will be al-
lowed to water on two days 
a week.

Lake Worth pier a place for manatee passion 
By KATHLEEN CHAPMAN 
and ANDREW MARRA 
Palm Beath Post Srle Ifirston 
LAKE WORTH — Lifeguard 
surrounded a female manatee 
who had beached herself near 
the Lake Worth pier Tuesday 
morning, afraid that she was 
sick or injured. 
They closed 
the 
beach 
around 9 a.m., and tried to 
nudge her back into the surf. 
But after she swam away. Tim 
Ehmke, chief lifeguard for Lake 
Worth Ocean Rescue. said they 
realized that she hadn't been in 
any distress after all. 
It seems that she just needed 
a break from a libidinous male 
who wasn't taking a hint. 
Manatees mate in earnest 
during the warmer months, and 
this time of year, rescue groups 
get quite a few concerned calls 
from people who don't know 
what they are witnessing. 
The normally solitary, docile 
animals can gather in mating 
herds during the summer,

The commissioners' budget 
proposal would affect rates 
in unincorporated areas. 
By JENNIFER S0REPff FtUE 
Palm Beach Post Staff Wolter 
Palm Beach County commis-
sioners signed off Wednesday on a 
budgerproposal that would increase 
garbage-hauling rates by as much as 
13 percent for residents in unincor-
porated areas. 
The commission, meeting as the 
county's Solid WaSte 
Authority, unanimously ■ Now 
approved the increase proposed 
with little debate. 
rates, 5B 
The increases are 
the second in a five-year plan meant 
to recoup the cost of new contracts 
with waste haulers. The amount of 
the increase would vary depending 
on location, with 13 percent increas-
es hitting residents in unincorpo-
rated areas west of 20-Mile Bend. 
Authority managers began warn-
ing residents about the sharp hikes 
in 2002 as haulers faced higher fuel, 
employee and equipment costs. 
A separate assessment the au-
thority levies on all homeowners, 
including those living in cities and 
towns with their own garbage pick-
up service, would remain flat. 
A public hearing on the budget is

nology and expertise to expand Chrysler's
