For everyone interested in the County's proposed tax increase, journalism, news reporting, and editorializing: A question

There's already an item available online in The Palm Beach Post about the proposed 1¢ increase in the sales tax that will be on the ballot in November. This item will likely be in tomorrow's (6/5) Sunday edition. Here are words and phrases that appear:

• pitched
• ‘repairs’ [air quotes: used "to indicate that what is being said is ironic or mocking, or is not a turn of phrase the speaker would typically employ")
• ‘new’ [more air quotes]
• reach into the wallets [from Wikipedia]
• wish list
• pitch
• big ticket
• outside groups
• grab bag

Now for the question: Where do you think this item will appear in the newspaper? The news section or the editorial page?

News about charter schools: A major issue outside Palm Beach County as well

Below is an excerpt from this article written by Marlene Sokol at the Tampa Bay Times, the Florida newspaper that's the recipient of 12 Pulitzer Prizes:

     Hillsborough County school officials thought they had the goods on Kid's Community College, a tax-supported charter school.
     The founder had three relatives on the payroll, suggesting a conflict of interest. His sister had at one time served on the governing board.
     Parents were asked to pay dues to an organization related to the school, another potential conflict. Plus, paying all the fees and donations the school wanted could set a parent back nearly $1,000 — even though public school is supposed to be free.
     Enough, the district said. Time to end the charter that entitled Kid's Community to millions of dollars in state funding.
     That was 2013, when MaryEllen Elia ran the district. A majority on the School Board wanted to keep a close watch on charter schools, which are run independently and compete for public school students.
     The landscape looks different now, as politically powerful charter operators make increasing demands for the same standing as government schools.

For local news coverage of schools and education in Palm Beach County the Extra Credit blog is a good one to follow.

From Michelle Quesada at NBC5/WPTV: "Group marches through Tamarind Corridor to stop summer violence before it starts"

The Palm Beach Post's Julius Whigham II also has this news that appears in today's (6/4) print edition. Here is an excerpt from the news segment by WPTV:

     Residents living in the 2-mile radius of the Tamarind and Pleasant City communities are fighting a war against gun violence in their streets.
     Last summer West Palm Beach Police officers responded to 36 shootings in a span of four months. That summer violence sparked a fire inside locals to stop the violence before it even starts.
     "We can go a whole summer and watch our brothers and sisters be gunned down repeatedly and we remain unmoved," said Ricky Aiken, the President of Inner City Innovators, a group of local youth trying to create change in their neighborhoods.

#PeaceMarch is starting off quietly to reflect about lives lost in shootings last summer in #WestPalmBeach @wptv pic.twitter.com/4OKPac8292

— Michelle Quesada (@M_Quesada) June 3, 2016

By my estimation, the number of marchers is about 10× that of the 'protesters' that recently 'marched' across railroad tracks in West Palm Beach. A Post reporter got briefly detained also. But the editors and decision-makers at that newspaper don't want you to know about that.

Does Commissioner Ryan Maier still not understand the Sunshine Law?

Will the Muslim faith, Muhammad, and Islamic extremism be an item up for a vote at the Lake Worth City Commission? Either intentionally or unintentionally Maier is confusing the public about the purpose and intent of the Sunshine Law. Commissioner Chris McVoy has been trying to confuse and mislead the public on this issue for several years now.

How far will this nonsense go? If an elected official is having dinner at Callaro's and another elected just happens to show up do they have to send the City Clerk an email to "publically [sic]" notice their dinner or lunch? How about a church service? Do we need another layer of policing to follow elected officials around at the ready to fire off an email to the City Clerk? Here is an email sent from Maier:

Subject: Quaker Meeting House event [use this link to learn about tonight's (6/2) meeting]

Hi there,

I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend. I am writing to the two of you because there is an event at 7pm on this coming Thursday at the Quaker Meeting House on A ST [sic] titled “True Islam and the Extremists,” and I wanted to find out whether there would be any Sunshine Law conflicts as the event is not publically [sic] noticed.

Silvina, if there are no conflicts associated with our attendance, would you please invite the Mayor and other Commissioners to the event as well?

Thank you,

Ryan Maier
Commissioner, District 4

Once again, the Sunshine Law explained:

From Laura Reiley, the Tampa Bay Times food critic: "Farm to Fable" (note that "Fable" is not a typo)

About the reporter: "Laura Reiley has been the Tampa Bay Times’ food critic since 2007. She has received numerous state and national awards. She is a former critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and the Baltimore Sun and the author of four guidebooks in the Moon Handbook series. She has cooked professionally and is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy."

Below is an excerpt from this article titled, "At Tampa Bay farm-to-table restaurants, you’re being fed fiction."

     The restaurant’s chalkboard makes claims as you enter from the valet parking lot. At the hostess stand, a cheery board reads, “Welcome to local, farm-fresh Boca.”
     Brown butcher paper tops tables and lettuces grow along a wooden wall. In a small market case, I see canned goods from here and produce from somewhere. Check the small print: blackberries from Mexico and blueberries from California.
     With the tagline “Local, simple and honest,” Boca Kitchen Bar Market was among the first wave of farm-to-table restaurants in Tampa Bay to make the assertion “we use local products whenever possible.” I’ve reviewed the food. My own words are right there on their website: “local, thoughtful and, most importantly, delicious.”
     But I’ve been had, from the snapper down to the beef.

If you're interested in learning more, Laura Reiley also has a consumer guide, "How to tell if your ‘local’ food is actually local".

News from Everglades EarthFirst! (EEF!): "We Want to Spend the End of the World with You"

It's been a rough time for EEF! of late culminating with Anarchist Ryan Hartman's landslide election loss to Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell and the under-whelming 'musical' that never got off the ground, to name just two.

Just in time, though, the Annual! EarthFirst! Rendevous! is coming up. Here are the Exciting! details from EEF!:

Cascadia Forest Defenders and the League of Extra-Ornery Cascadians are pleased to announce the Earth First! Northwest Rendezvous, from June 10-13, 2016, in the heart of the southern Cascades. 

[and. . .]

You bring: your sustainable self, which should include food, a means to prepare same* (no centralized community kitchen; this is old-school),† camping gear, bug-repellant, rain gear, decent closed-toe shoes, headlamp, CUP, plate and/or bowl, fork and/or spoon, party clothes, bio-centric pov, capacity to disregard the rule of law (or accept and support that disregard in others), tolerance and sense of humor. Musical (or similar) talents are revered and appreciated.

*a small pot or pan and cook stove; though a foil wrapped spud in a small camp fire will get it done. There will be inevitable informal potlucking, as well.
†There is no cell reception at the site.
Directions: The site is on the banks of the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River, 20-some miles north of the human settlements of Westfir and Oakridge, Oregon. Most seeking the ‘voo will travel north or south on Interstate 5, as the case may be, to turn east onto Hwy 58, just south of Eugene. At the Middle Fork Ranger Station (a bit past Mile Post 31), the traveler will turn left at the sign for Westfir, cross a green trestle bridge over the Middle Fork, and make a left at the stop sign. A few miles along this road, the traveler will encounter a 4-way stop and a red covered bridge on the left hand side of the road. Proceeding straight through, the road changes it’s name to FS Rd 19, also referred to as the Aufderheide Loop. Traveling north through ancient forest and thinned second-growth along the beautiful and risky North Fork for 20.7 miles (there are mile markers along FS Rd 19), just after crossing our river to put it on the south side of the road, the attentive rondyvooer will turn left up FS Rd 1939, and follow that back west. They’ll follow this road, ignoring the right fork (FS Rd 758) about ½ mile up, and will find a trailhead marker and trail about 1.5 miles from the 19 Rd. We’ll call this the Front Gate and with little parking here, gear should be unloaded and the vehicle moved further up the road to be parked, as per direction from the Front Gate crew.
     Those travelers determined to approach from the east will have to hit Hwy 58 off of I-97, between Chemult and La Pine, drive through Oakridge, and make the turn to Westfir as described in the directions above.

What doesn't get said enough in Lake Worth, "Thank You"

How long do you think Jamie Brown has been Lake Worth's Director of Public Services?

It's been over 4 years now. Here's the news from Willy Howard, a former beat reporter for the City, from an article dated May 1st, 2012: 

     Jamie Brown, a civil engineer who has served as the city's interim public services director since October [2011], has been named director of the department that oversees garbage collection, streets, building maintenance and other functions.
     Brown has "demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a commitment to improving our city," City Manager Michael Bornstein wrote Friday in his weekly city manager's report.

You can reach Mr. Brown at 561-586-1720 or email JBrown@lakeworth.org

You won't believe a Letter to the Editor in The Palm Beach Post

This letter hasn't made the print edition, yet. This is unbelievable:

Corey Jones was killed by a Palm Beach Gardens police officer, NOT a PBSO deputy. But how many people think otherwise now?

The words "institutional bias" come to mind. What's there left to say? How long before election day? What more could possibly be in the Post's bag of tricks?

What you need to know about Walmart: News from the Tampa Bay Times (12 time winner of Pulitzer Prize)

Add this link to your browser "Favorites" to read what's in the Tampa Bay Times daily. The TBT, if you didn't know, is one of the best newspapers in the entire country and sets the bar very high.

Below are two excerpts from this article titled, "Thousands of police calls. You paid the bill."

     Police come to shoo away panhandlers, referee parking disputes and check on foul-mouthed teenagers.
     They are called to arrest the man who drinks a 98-cent iced tea without paying and capture the customer who joyrides on a motorized shopping cart.
     The calls eat up hours of officers’ time. They all start at one place:
     Walmart.
     Law enforcement logged nearly 16,800 calls in one year to Walmarts in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando counties, according to a Tampa Bay Times analysis. That’s two calls an hour, every hour, every day. [emphasis added]

[and. . .]

     Several local law enforcement officers also emphasized that all the hours spent at Walmart cut into how often they can patrol other neighborhoods and prevent other crimes.

On an interesting note, almost every time I go to the Walmart on 10th Ave. North what is parked there near the front doors? A police car or two from the Palm Springs PD. How much is that costing the city and are those taxpayers getting fewer patrols of neighborhoods as a result? An interesting question for an enterprising reporter, don't you think?

Get informed about temporary change in water chlorination process from The Lake Worth Herald

Our paper of record is the City's oldest business. The online edition comes out on Wednesday and the print edition on Thursday.

Below is the news from The Lake Worth Herald. To subscribe use this link or go to the City's downtown news stand across the street from the Cultural Council on Lake Ave. to pick up the print edition. Below are two excerpts:

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION FOR CITY OF LAKE WORTH* TO ALTER WATER CHLORINATION PROCESS: 
To maintain high water quality in the City of Lake Worth water distribution system, the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant will temporarily change the water chlorination methods for two weeks from June 1, 2016 through June 19, 2016. The City of Lake Worth will also increase hydrant flushing during this time.
     This is a preventive maintenance process. Starting June 1, 2016 a “free chlorine residual” water treatment method will be used to provide a somewhat stronger disinfection process than the “combined chlorine or Chloramines” treatment which is normally used.

[and. . .]

     If you are especially sensitive to the taste or odor of chlorine, keep an open container of drinking water in your refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate. 
     Tropical fish tank owners, hospitals, dialysis patients and residents with pools should be aware of the chlorination changes and make adjustments accordingly. Any questions should be directed to the City of Lake Worth Water Treatment Plant (561) 586-1710.

*The City of Lake Worth's water utility customers include Lake Osborne Estates, Hypoluxo Village, John Prince Park, Lantana Cascade and Palm Breezes Club.

Old tabloids also come in handy for training puppies and lining bird cages. Don't work well when blowing one's nose though.

The high hypocrisy finally makes the print edition today in a paper of record

The Palm Beach Post's 'news' about the City's potholes finally made the print edition today, Tuesday, March 31st. To read more about that look in the right-hand column for, "Low-hanging fruit & stuff that happens during slow news week. . .".

Unfortunately for the public, what's missing in the article is the reason why we're in this predicament in the first place. And that's all thanks to a bond vote that failed in 2014. The reporter briefly mentions the failed bond vote but not the reason it failed by just 25 votes.

"NO NEW TAXES!", they said.

The "high hypocrisy" is one of those interviewed in the today's article was also one of the most vocal in opposition to that bond. Here is a letter he recently had published in the very same newspaper:

1st Ave. South would be a brand new street now, along with updated infrastructure, had the "LW2020" bond passed.

And then we get to the real problem you can read about using this link—reporters, editors, and journalism:

Did the Post provide the information you need to make the best possible decision about your life, community, society, and government? No. Crucial information was not reported.

Who would have thought! All that interest about my attendance at event for the Dollars for Scholars Foundation

Always surprised about the things that will get attention on this blog. The emails and phone calls continue with thoughts and comments on the words and especially about the pictures below. If you've already read this please scroll down for new content and Thank You for visiting. Without further ado, about my venture into the Great Walled City of Atlantis:

I attended a fundraising event put on by the Lake Worth High School Alumni Foundation for the Lake Worth Dollars for Scholars "Hats on Luncheon." It was held at the Atlantis Country Club which is located within the tall walls that surround the city of Atlantis. A friend of mine from water exercise class, Carol Childs Webster told me about it, so I purchased a ticket for what turned out to be a very fun event.

Attendees festooned themselves in hats of all kinds. Here is Your's Truly with the one I chose to wear. This hat is courtesy of Mary Lindsey for a July 4th Raft Race a few years back:

Thank you, Mary! This hat won me the "funniest" hat prize.

They held a raffle, had an assortment of door prizes and some special silent auction items. I bid on a tour of the Kennedy Space Center for four people. Oddly, I've never been there in my 27 years in Florida. Someone bid higher than I did. There was a wide assortment of products, services were highlighted and many restaurant gift certificates.

The highlight was winning "funniest" hat in the men's division! My friend captured this picture I will forever cherish:

Much money was raised for a worthy cause and look forward to next year's event. It was great to see Mayor Pam Triolo there as well. The Alumni Foundation was very pleased to see such a large turnout from so many in the community in support of the Lake Worth High School.

The iconic hotels that tell Florida’s history and stories

VisitFlorida highlighted three historic hotels in Florida: The Biltmore in Coral Gables, the Don Cesar in St. Pete Beach and, of course, the Breakers in Palm Beach. From the article:

"To make the headlines and fill their beds draped with 1,000-thread-count sheets, today’s hotels must generate buzz. Big-name architects, celebrity chefs, rock-star interior designers — all are common in the hotel scene of 2013. These three have all survived troubled times and endure today as true Florida icons."

And then we have the Gulf Stream Hotel in Lake Worth. Still shuttered and silent. All because of a family's wealth, bitterness, and another in a long line of lawsuits to stifle any progress for this little City.

From the La Joya Villages in Lake Worth: Free art classes for children

The Lake Worth CRA produced a video about the La Joya Villages in the City and that's also the location for one of their spectacular murals:

Have you seen this amazing mural? It's on 6th Ave. South next to the FEC railroad tracks.

The CRA has free art classes for the residents and they are offered twice a month. We might be seeing some of these creative children do their work at the Street Painting Festival coming up next February:

Children receiving art instruction at the first art class at La Joya Villages. FYI, "La Joya" translated from Spanish is "The Jewel".

Don't let NBC5/WPTV confuse you about Memorial Day 'in Lake Worth'

There is a Memorial Day service at the Pinecrest Cemetery in Lake Worth at 10:00 today. The cemetery is located on 'A' Street between 6th and 12th Ave. South.

NBC5/WPTV, who should know better, reported on the 11:00 news that the South Florida National Cemetery is 'in Lake Worth'. It's not. That cemetery is west of the Turnpike on the edge of the Everglades. Quite a long drive from Lake Worth.

Remember when bond rates were at almost historic lows? And the LW2020 Bond "Official Ballot". . .

. . . that failed by just 25 votes. Ergo the reason your street looks the way it does and why there are so many potholes still to fix.
This video is of the City Commission approving the ballot language in 2014 and goes on until the battery ran out in the camera. The final vote to put the language on the ballot passed 4-1, with Commissioner Chris McVoy dissenting. Here is that ballot language:

And below is hypocrisy defined:

A recent letter to the editor in The Palm Beach Post from someone who encouraged everyone to vote against the LW2020  bond. "Recently, I drove through a deep pothole. . ."

Memorial Day March

A look back from Willy Howard, "New City Manager Michael Bornstein makes welcome changes in Lake Worth"

From the article by former beat reporter Willy Howard on June 3rd, 2012, almost 4 years ago:

     Unlike former City Manager Susan Stanton, who was fired Dec. 6 in a 3-2 vote, Bornstein is getting out of the office to listen to residents.

[and. . .]

     Bornstein, who served 12 years as town manager in Lantana, said friends questioned his sanity for taking the job in Lake Worth, where political fights are "legendary."
     But the new city manager, 49, said he can resuscitate Lake Worth.
     "It's a major challenge, but it's also got good bones," he said. "I like the artsy, quirky, cool personality Lake Worth has. We own that."
     Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell, who led the charge to fire Stanton, said Bornstein's team approach to problem-solving will help the city meet the challenges ahead.
     "He gets along with everyone," Maxwell said. "Even if you don't agree with his position, you don't disagree with him."

Lake Worth got cheated: Why was the story about Roberto Carcelen buried in the Saturday paper?

In the Post's "In Your Community" section Lake Worth is special over and over and over again, each and every Monday. (Question: why can't cities like Greenacres and Lantana be special too?)

A very good article about Lake Worth wasn't quite good enough for the Special Monday edition. It ended up being buried in the Saturday (5/28) 'D' section, below the fold, at the very bottom of the page under the above the fold feature, "The Power of Panini".

Here are two short excerpts from the article about Lake Worth resident Roberto Carcelen:

LAKE WORTH — Lake Worth’s Roberto Carcelen is an Olympic celebrity, of sorts — a Peruvian Michael Phelps, just minus all the gold medals.
     In 2010, the cross-country skier became Peru’s first winter Olympian when he qualified to compete in Vancouver, Canada at the 2010 Games. Four years later, Carcelen competed in Sochi, Russia in the Men’s 15 kilometer classic race where his status grew from celebrity to legend.

[and. . .]

     They looked at homes in such historic neighborhoods as El Cid and Southland Park in West Palm Beach, but wound up settling in Lake Worth, one block east of Federal Highway.
     “We fell in love with the city,” said Carcelen [emphasis added], a surfer. “That it’s so close to the beach was a huge selling point for us. It feels like we’re in the tropics.”

Kind of makes you wonder why this story didn't make the Monday edition, doesn't it? For everyone with an interest in the goings-on in Lake Worth here are some suggestions:

• This is the link to the City's free newsletters and to subscribe use this link.
• For events, new and ongoing, use this link.
• Do you know who the mayor and commissioners are and what style of government Lake Worth has?
• Have questions about public safety?
• The Lake Worth Electric Utility is a current topic. Do you know who the director is and want to learn more how the utility operates?
• Heard about the city manager? Use this link to learn more. 

And, of course, there's The Lake Worth Herald too.
