L’Opera 

Vol Au Vent De La Mer 

Seafood Stew in a Puff Pastry 

A baked to perfection light 

Puff Pastry busting with fresh 

jumbo shrimp, large succulent 

scallops, mussels and lobster. 

All topped with an incredible 

lobster sauce, served on a bed 

of fresh green beans and 

acompanied by carrots, potatos 

and snow peas. 

This entree is best when 

enjoyed with a bottle of White 

Meursault 

As luck 

would have it, 

dining at some of 

the areas best restaurants, in addition to 

discovering some of the best kept 

secrets, is an advantage of being a food 

writer. Having dined at L'Opera recently 

has reminded me of how lucky I am 

once again. 

From the moment we entered the 

bistro, I felt we were in store for a 

wonderful culinary experience. We were 

not disappointed. We were approached 

by a lovely host named Amy, who 

seated us in a very private booth, which 

instantaneously put us in a cozy, 

romantic mood. The decor was tastefully 

thought through. The use of dark woods, 

brick, and "Gold Leaf", made you feel 

you truly were dining at a brasserie in 

the center of Paris. 

After being seated, we were 

greeted by our server, Seth, a young 

epicurean willing to do whatever 

it took to make our experience a 

memorable one. 

To start off we were given some 

wonderful Artisan bread, with a pungent 

black olive tapanade. This would help 

with the choice of wine we selected, 

a Laboure-Roi Poullie Fousie (2003). 

This light, crisp wine was a wonderful 

selection that would compliment our 

choice of appetizer and salad. We 

chose a classic escargot with a garlicherb 

butter, and a frisee salad with 

beets, walnuts, blue cheese, and green 

apple. Both items were prepared and 

presented tastefully. The frisee salad 

was exceptional. 

Our choice for entrees was a

Filet de Boeuf Sauce Choron 

(Filet Mignon with a Choron sauce) 

Chef Joe Coletto 

difficult decision. With seafood choices 

such as Dover sole, grouper, snapper, 

and scallops, we decided to select a Vol 

au Vent de la mer, (seafood stew in puff 

pastry). This delectable entree consisting 

of puff pastry filled with lobster, shrimp, 

and scallops was expertly prepared, and 

extremely flavorful. 

Our second selection, a delicious, 

braised lamb shank with parsnip puree, 

roasted fennel, and tomato confit was 

also a winner. The preparation of the 

item was well thought through, with the 

roasted fennel complementing the flavor 

of the lamb, not overpowering it. 

The finale of the evening was a 

wonderfully prepared dessert "tour" 

which enabled us to sample several 

specialty desserts. All were wonderful. 

However, my personal favorite was the 

chocolate fondant, whereas my wife 

raved over the crème brulee. 

Chef du cuisine Laurent Loupiac, 

and Sous Chef David Desloges have 

much to be proud of. “Kudos’ to 

managing partner Roy B. Assad, (who 

also owns the successful Leila's, on the 

corner of Datura and Dixie) upon 

another successful restaurant. His 

carefully thought through brasserie 

would make any "Parisian" feel like their 

dining back home. 

This Choron sauce is a béarnaise with tomato puree added. To complete the dish, serve 

the filet over a potato gratinee with steamed broccoli on the side. 

The Meat 

Whole beef Tenderloin (any beef or steak with minimal fat content may be 

substituted) 

Kosher salt 

Cracked Black pepper 

Preheat grill to medium high. Remove all fat and membrane from the filet. Tuck “tail” 

under filet, and tie with string to give it a nicer shape. Season filet with salt and pepper, 

and place on very hot grill to allow a sear to begin. Be careful not to burn the meat. Sear 

on all sides, then reduce the heat to medium, and allow filet to cook for 15-20 minutes on 

indirect heat. Turn filet occasionally to cook filet evenly. A meat thermometer should 

register approximately 130 to 135 degrees for medium rare. Place on carving board, 

and allow to “repose” for ten minutes before slicing. 

The Sauce 

4 TB White Vinegar 1/3 cup Tomato puree 

4 TB Fresh Tarragon Kosher Salt 

1/4 cup Chopped Shallots Fresh Ground pepper 

1/4 cup Water 2 TB Fresh Chopped Parsley 

4 Egg Yolks 2 TB Fresh Chopped Tarragon 

8 ounce Softened Butter 

Place the vinegar, tarragon, and shallots in a small saucepan. Boil down the vinegar to 

almost nothing. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Add the water and 

egg yolks, whisking constantly. Over low heat, whisk in the butter a little at a time until 

thick and creamy. Stir in the tomato puree. Season to Taste with salt and pepper. Keep 

warm in a water bath. Stir in parsley and tarragon just before serving. 

Carve beef into thin slices and place over potato. Pour some sauce over the slices. Pass 

some additional sauce on the side.

AN AUTHENTIC PARISIAN BRASSERIE 


Nuccio’s Pizza Parlor 

When I was a kid growing up, 

Friday night was Pizza Night. It was a 

family “routine” for my parents, two 

brothers, and I to go to our favorite 

Pizza Parlor, and get the traditional, 

round, thin crust version, or the infamous 

“Sicilian”, square, thick crust, pizza. I 

was reminded of “pizza night” when we 

arrived at Nuccio’s Pizza Parlor last 

Friday night. 

Having been established for less 

then one year, this well kept secret on 

the southeast corner of Lyons Road, and 

Lantana Road, just can’t be kept a secret 

any longer. 

Pizza is king here, of course. 

Although it was a difficult decision 

between the pizza or the calzones 

available. 

Pizza is available in 14” or 16” 

sizes, and the Sicilian comes in a 

massive 17”x17”. You can create your 

own combinations, and all of them will 

feature a crispy crust that I look for in a 

good pizza. The two pies my party 

ordered were perfectly cooked with a 

golden, crispy, crust. The sauce was 

flavorful, and the 

toppings were 

generous. 

Turn the menu 

over and you'll 

find other “pizza parlor” selections such 

as stromboli, calzones, pasta, and hot 

and cold submarine sandwiches on nice 

Italian bread. 

Everything I tasted here was good. 

The ricotta, mozzarella, and romano 

calzone, for instance, did not have that 

“precooked” or “reheated” taste. It was 

evident that the calzone was created 

moments before. In addition to pizza, 

Nuccio’s features flavorful pasta 

selections as well. The tomato sauce 

here is very good, which says a lot 

about a pizzeria. 

Save room for dessert. Delicious 

desserts such as tiramisu and cannoli are 

family recipes. There's also free delivery 

for folks who live nearby. ($10.00 

minimum.) 

I finally found it! Nothing 

pretentious. Nothing fancy. My Friday 

night Pizza haunt.

with high quality merchandise, excellent craftsmanship, and fine 

art of all mediums. In this extraordinary store,, consumers are 

given the opportunity to own unique accessories hand made by 

skilled Florida artists. The pottery, baskets, wall hangings, and 

other items are all pieces of art. So are the personal items, such 

as baby clothing, purses and jewelry. "The artists represented 

here pour their feelings into their work," says Lentz, adding that 

her store exudes a positive energy. That energy and personality 

are evident in the tropicals on silk that artist Diane Lublinksi 

paints, as well as in the framed Florida photography of Jeff 

Bankston. This energy can also be found in the baby-wear 

delicately embellished with embroidery by a local grandmother, 

and in the custom beaded, shell and bamboo jewelry that Lentz 

creates.

Warm and cool tropical colors welcome visitors to Art-Sea 

Living. This unique store, located in the Ocean Plaza shopping 

center in downtown Boynton Beach, offers a potpourri of giftware 

and decorative accessories for the discriminating homeowner. 

Owner Babs Lentz has stocked Art-Sea Living with paintings, 

plates, plaques, pillows, candles and other items created solely 

by Florida artists. The store is not only a showcase for these 

artists; it's a treasure trove of accessories and furnishings that will 

add personality, style, and pizzazz to any home. There is 

something for everyone, here. " One mistake that many people 

make is that they think everything in their home has to match," 

says Lentz. "An eclectic use of accessories fits in and works well 

around any style or trend. Many of these accessories add colors 

that enhance the look of a home." For example, a tropical 

painting can beautifully blend with antiques, and an Art Deco 

cabinet can live harmoniously with Country, Provincial, 

Traditional, and other decorating themes. "Go with your heart," 

says Lentz. "If you like something and it's pleasing to your eye, 

you'll be happy having it in your home."

Customized large 

format reproductions at 

affordable prices. 

Frank Barchiese, President of 

OOColor is a resident of Islamorada 

in the Florida Keys. 

Frank’s company provides some of the 

biggest corporations in the country with 

large format, color and black and white 

printing for billboards, trade shows, 

packaging, and special events. Initially, 

Frank worked with artists to develop 

reproductions of their original art. His 

method provided the artists with the 

ability to duplicate their artwork, sell 

prints at a reasonable price, and retain 

the originals. 

One of the benefits to the artist was that 

their original artwork could be 

reproduced on materials that closely 

matched the canvas or paper on 

which the originals were created. 

This first step into the consumer 

market was a big success. It was 

difficult to tell the difference between 

the copy and the original. 

Frank was determined to share 

the experience of producing these 

exciting images gained from his 

commercial enterprise with friends 

and neighbors, for their personal 

enjoyment. His goal was to provide 

customized reproductions 

of art and photography at 

affordable prices. Currently, 

Frank is working with 

individuals to copy 

and enlarge their treasured 

photographs and works of art to 

be displayed in their homes. 

Snapshots of family and friends, 

old or new, can be blown up and 

become wall murals. Artwork can be 

copied and reproduced at almost any 

size, on materials of your choice with 

inks that are of long lasting quality.

The process begins with a meeting to 

determine if the photograph or artwork in 

your possession has the potential of being 

successfully reproduced. Once this has 

been established the fun begins. The next 

step involves you picking a material on 

which to reproduce the image. After that, 

you get to create a frame from the many 

exciting options available in today’s 

market place and begin the experience 

of a lifetime. 

There is almost no limit to the size you 

can make the enlargements. Prints from 

four foot by eight foot and beyond are 

doable. Entire walls can be covered 

by combining prints.

Back to 

School 

By Dr. Lee 

Edelstein 

As the lazy days 

of summer wind 

down it’s time to 

shop for school supplies, buy another 

pair of new sneakers, and get back into 

the routine of school. With a new 

school year comes new teachers, new 

friends, and new threats to our children’s 

health and safety. So, to keep them safe 

and healthy this upcoming school year, 

here are a few tips to make this year the 

best ever. 

Kids get sick. Colds, coughs, tummy 

bugs, and flu’s are going to happen 

especially in the close quarters of a 

classroom In general the younger the 

child, the more frequently illnesses 

occur. Now, while we can’t prevent our 

kids from ever getting sick we can 

decrease the frequency of these common 

bugs with a few simple techniques. The 

single most important thing we can do to 

prevent the spread of germs is to wash 

our hands. Encourage your child to 

wash his hands at home and at school, 

before and after meals, after using the 

restroom, and after playing outside. 

Antibacterial hand sanitizers are also 

good to keep in your purse, the car, and 

your child’s book bag. Encourage your 

children not to share cups or straws with 

their friends, and do not send them to 

school with a fever, a red eye, an 

uncontrollable cough, or a runny nose 

with colored discharge (these are usually 

due to viral infections which should self 

resolve, but may be due to a bacterial 

infection). Check with your child’s school 

for their specific guidelines, or call your 

child’s pediatrician for more details. 

With the start of school, a little bit 

of freedom and independence will be 

bestowed upon your child. He may be 

allowed to ride his bike to school, or 

wait at the bus stop without adult 

supervision. Now is a good time to 

establish safety rules to help prevent 

injuries. If your child rides his bike, 

rollerblades, or skateboards he must 

wear a helmet…period! Approximately 

85% of brain injuries can be prevented

with the use of a helmet so if he doesn’t 

want to wear one he shouldn’t get to 

ride his bike. When walking to school, 

make sure your child understands how to 

cross the street correctly and to use cross 

walks with crossing guards whenever 

possible. Arrange for him to walk with 

a buddy. For those early morning pickups 

consider adding a reflector to his 

book bag so people can see him when 

it is still dark. Now is also a good 

time to talk your child about stranger 

danger Remind him never to go 

anywhere with someone he doesn’t 

know, even if the person looks nice. 

Discuss who is allowed to pick him up 

from school if you are unable to,. In 

addition, develop a family “code word” 

which your child will need to hear 

before he can leave with anyone who is 

not an immediate relative. 

The start of a new school year is a 

good time to reexamine your child’s 

sleep habits. Poor sleep habits can 

make it difficult for a child to reach his 

maximum potential and contribute to 

behavioral and emotional problems. 

The average school age child needs 

9–12 hours of sleep per night, and a set 

routine should be followed; for example: 

homework, playtime, bath, quiet time, 

and sleep time. Your child should not go 

to sleep with the TV or music playing. 

Nature sounds can be soothing for those 

kids who have difficulty falling asleep. 

Contact your child’s pediatrician for 

more difficult sleep problems. 

Back to school is an exciting time 

of the year. By discussing good 

hygiene, safety, and sleep habits, you 

can start your children off on the right 

foot. Remember, if you ever have 

questions about illnesses, injuries or 

development your pediatrician is just a 

phone call away.

Finding the Right 

Plastic Surgeon 

For You 

By 

Arthur G. Handal, 

M.D., F.A.C.S. 

Have you ever considered plastic 

surgery? Of a certainty, finding and 

choosing the right physician is a very 

individualized process, whether he or 

she is an internist, cardiologist or plastic 

surgeon. There are many factors to 

consider when choosing the right 

physician for you. First, do your 

homework (this involves speaking to 

friends who have undergone cosmetic 

surgery), search the Internet, and consult 

with plastic surgeons. In my experience, 

through listening to what patients tell me, 

it is wise to see no more than 3 

surgeons, as this may become extremely 

confusing. Next, insure that you have 

an exceedingly first-class rapport with 

not only your surgeon, but with each 

and every member of the staff you are in 

contact with. The nursing staff and 

administrative staff are reflections of your 

surgeon. From your first contact on the 

telephone, you should be treated with 

dignity, respect, efficiency, 

professionalism and courtesy. This will 

give you an indication of what your 

overall experience will be like, and you 

should insure that your experience in the 

office is positive, from the surgeon to the 

receptionist. Ask yourself, is the office 

clean? Are you seen for your 

appointment in a timely fashion? Are all 

of your questions answered? 

We suggest to patients, from start to 

finish, that they write questions down as 

they think of them, and bring the list to 

the office, whether it’s for their initial 

consultation, preop appointments with 

the nurse and the surgeon, the morning 

of surgery and all postop appointments. 

We stress to patients that the more 

informed they are, and that they have a 

good understanding of the process they 

will undergo, the easier their 

postoperative period will be. Another 

important question to ask would be: Is 

your surgeon board certified, and is the 

operating room licensed and accredited? 

Licensed operating 

rooms must adhere to 

certain criteria set forth by 

the State of Florida and 

other accrediting bodies. 

Thus, it is important that 

you ascertain this very 

important fact in choosing 

your surgeon. 

It is of the utmost 

importance that you trust 

your surgeon. Ask to see 

photos, and to speak with 

other patients who have 

undergone similar 

surgeries. Request a tour of 

the facility and, above all, 

if you do not understand 

what you are being told, 

ask as many questions as 

you need to feel 

comfortable. Remember 

that there are no such 

things as “stupid questions”. 

Cosmetic surgery should be 

considered a positive, and patients 

should approach it as such, 

remembering however, that it is surgery, 

and above all else, safety should be the 

prime consideration. 

You are about to embark on a very 

intimate relationship with approximately 

5 to 7 people; your surgeon, his or her 

nurses, the anesthesia department, and 

16 September 2005

3 or 4 administrative personnel, all of 

whom will play an integral role in the 

process. Remember also, that although 

price is a consideration, you should not 

choose your surgeon by price alone. 

Prices vary widely throughout South 

Florida and some things to consider are 

exactly which procedures are being 

performed, and by which methods. 

Although patients may believe that they 

are undergoing the exact procedure their 

friend just underwent, it is important to 

remember that this also is very 

individualized, and one person may 

require more or less of a similar 

procedure, depending on the body 

habitus and the amount of surgery to be 

performed, thereby affecting price. Trust, 

dignity, professionalism, courtesy, civility, 

confidence and reliability are all words 

you should be able to ascribe to your 

surgeon and his or her staff, if you are 

undergoing breast augmentation, 

rhinoplasty, face lift or liposculpture to 

name a few. 

There are many, and varied 

reasons, why people consider and 

undergo cosmetic surgery; greater selfconfidence 

in the work place and in 

their social lives, especially in today’s 

fast-paced environment. Some people 

may be suddenly faced with life altering 

changes created by either a death 

or divorce, and this causes them to 

look more closely at their physical 

appearance and determine that they 

would like to appear more rested, 

fresher and less tired looking. In 

addition people may finally be in a 

position in their life when they can 

finally afford to improve upon an 

imperfection that has been bothering 

them for years. 

When all is said and done, plastic 

surgery can improve your life in a 

positive way. You should follow the 

guidelines listed above to help you make 

an informed choice. With a little work 

on your part you can ensure your 

experience with plastic surgery will be a 

positive one.

Jupiter’s Hidden Gem 

Did you know in 

the amount of time it 

would take you to 

drive to Hollywood, 

Florida you could be 

in Hollywood, 

California? Ok, maybe not the actual 

California city, but in a mere 45 minutes 

you could find yourself surrounded by a 

genuine slice of Tinsletown. 

For the past three years, tucked 

away in a non-descript building in 

Jupiter is one of South Florida’s best 

kept secrets. Once inside, you will 

find a collection of movie, television 

and personal memorabilia of one of 

the world’s most famous entertainment 

stars. Here, you will find The Burt 

Reynolds Museum. 

The collection 

that Mr.Reynolds 

has given to the 

museum is truly 

amazing. You 

can follow Mr. 

Reynolds’ life as 

a youth growing 

up in Jupiter, 

through his days 

Burt’s 1990-1991 

Emmy for Evening 

Shade 

By Marc Zatorsky 

at Florida State 

University, as 

well as a special 

area dedicated 

to his father, the former Chief of Police 

of Riviera Beach. Sports fans will love 

Mr. Reynolds’ own collection of sports 

memorabilia that is comprised mostly of 

gifts from his friends and associates. 

The main part of the museum is also 

the most popular. From movie posters 

and celebrity pictures, to TV and movie 

props, to Burt’s numerous awards, the 

museum is an awesome display of one 

of Hollywood’s greatest stars. 

The museum is run under the 

direction of Executive Director, Mike 

Daniel and his assistant Greg 

Goldsbury. Mike, a treasure hunter by 

trade, is the explorer who discovered 

Blackbeard’s ship in 1996. Their 

dedication to the museum is felt in the 

warmth and admiration that they 

have for Mr. Reynolds. 

Mr. Daniel’s association 

with Mr. Reynolds came about in 

1989 when he was approached 

at his marine hardware store, 

The Sea Chest, by the art 

director for the B.L.Stryker movie 

that was shooting in town. Mike 

was asked to be the custodian of 

the show’s houseboat that year 

and later became the show’s 

marine coordinator. Mike 

continued to work with numerous 

local projects for Mr. Reynolds. 

While in production for The 

Maddening, Mr. Reynolds asked Mike 

and another member of the crew to help 

convert a horse barn on his ranch into 

the museum which was moved to its 

present location 3 years ago. “What 

safer place could be found to display 

such memorabilia than a former bank?” 

Mike asks with a smile as he recalls 

finding the present location. 

“Mr. Reynolds’ designed the entire 

museum himself,” Mike adds, “Burt did it 

all” Most celebrities never go back 

home, but Burt has 

always tried to give so 

much back to this 

community.” The 

museum is also 

committed to 

encouraging and 

developing different 

types of community 

programs to develop 

the local arts. 

I asked Greg 

Goldsbury what was 

to be the part of the 

museum that the public 

seemed to gravitate 

towards? He quickly 

answered, “The 

Smokey and the Bandit 

display.” And the most 

asked question by the 

public? “That’s easy,” 

answered Greg. “It’s: 

Is Burt here?” 

Well lately he 

hasn’t been there very 

Mike Daniel, Exutive Director (left) and 

assistant Greg Goldsbury 

often due to the fact that Mr. Reynolds 

has once again found himself one of 

Hollywood’s hottest commodities. 

However, you never know who you just 

might run into at the museum. Actor 

John Goodman, better known for his role 

as Roseanne Barr’s husband in the TV 

series Roseanne, stopped in a few 

months ago to check things out. √ 

I highly recommend a visit the Burt 

Reynolds’ Museum. It’s definitely worth 

the trip. ❂

Beware Of The 

Bait And 

Switch! 

By 

Jackie Ellis 

When it comes to 

selling your home 

here in South Florida many sellers are 

being lured into listing their homes with 

limited service real estate providers 

offering to charge only 2% or 2.5% 

commissions. Beware of the bait and 

switch! When hiring certain limited 

service providers to list your home, the 

price may look enticing at face value but 

at what cost? Will you actually be saving 

money when doing business with these 

types of firms? 

When contacted for their services, 

they will make an appointment to view 

your house. You’ll soon learn that the 2% 

commission does not get your home listed 

on the multiple listing service (MLS), a 

computer database where realtors can 

review properties, nor pay for the agents 

of potential buyers. This will result in very 

limited exposure for your property. One 

of these providers admits in their contract: 

“This 2% plan can affect the extent to 

which your property is exposed to 

potential buyers.” Some firms will then 

add an additional 2% to place your 

house into MLS to expose it to other 

realtors and pay the buyer’s agents. But 

many realtors will avoid showing your 

house for only 2% commission. 

“A professional real estate agent will be 

able to put thousands of dollars or more 

into a seller’s pocket.” 

Sign up with these agencies, and 

you may be forced to use their title 

company and home warranty plan, 

neither is industry standard. These 

services often respond to this by offering 

their full service plans for “only” 7% 

commission. But this is 1% - 2% higher 

than what you’d pay for from most 

professional realtors. Seller, beware! This 

practice is commonly known as “bait and 

switch”. 

“Choosing the offer is one of the most 

important things that a full service 

provider can help sellers do.” 

It’s a very hot market in South 

Florida. Here are some tips to keep you 

from getting burned by the limited service 

providers. 

1. Read the listing contract that you are 

about to sign. 

If you are unhappy during the term of 

the listing, make sure you are able to get 

out of it. Many of these providers carry 

very hefty penalty fees. 

2. Check the company’s background. 

Are they licensed? The person coming 

over to list your house is typically a 

Continued on page29 

Out to change the way 

you think about real estate 

For many people, your house 

is your most important 

investment. Don’t trust it to 

just anyone. 

What makes Jackie Ellis such 

an original in South Florida real estate? 

Quite simply, it’s the little things. It’s her 

creative approach to marketing homes to 

maximize their value. It’s her friendly, 

energetic personality. It’s her lifetime of 

local knowledge. And it’s her track 

record of success more than 15 years 

strong. When the time comes for your

Are You Ready For Some Football??? 

By 

Rob Chiavetta 

Ahhhh, its early September. You wake 

up with a goofy smile on your face. There is 

an extra bounce in your step. The day 

looks bright no matter what. Food tastes 

better, the water fresher. You are in a great 

mood even though your Mother-in-Law is coming over for 

dinner…well, let’s not push it. All of this could only mean one 

thing. September is finally here and the new football season is 

about to begin! 

No matter which team you root for, everyone is tied for first 

place and there is fresh optimism in the air. Your team 

strengthened itself in the off season by adding new players 

through the draft and free-agency. Players from last year have 

worked hard to perform better in the coming season. September 

is the time of year when even the sourest of pessimists can find a 

way to believe that their team is going to the Super Bowl. 

While the greatest fans can convince themselves that their 

team is going to finish #1, the football gurus in Las Vegas use a 

far more sophisticated system to determine which teams actually 

have a better chance of making it to the Super Bowl than others. 

In an effort to provide some unbiased predictions, following this 

article is a team by team breakdown of the Las Vegas odds each 

team is ranked with to win the Super Bowl as well as the Las 

Vegas projected number of wins for the regular season. The 

prediction segments are my opinions for the coming season. I 

have listed my opinion on whether the team will finish at, above, 

or below the projected Vegas win total. I hope you find the 

information informative as well as entertaining. 

As a reminder to all football fans, no matter what Las Vegas 

or this writer is predicting, it is early September, every team is 

tied for first, and your favorite team can win the Super Bowl! 

Capsules are broken down by division. Next to team name is Las Vegas Odds for that 

team to win the Super Bowl listed then the Las Vegas projected season win total. My 

predictions follow.

The Parent-Teacher Partnership 

By 

Sally Goldberg, 

Ph.D. 

School bells rang 

all across the state 

of Florida during the 

month of August 

welcoming children 

to schools for a fresh start to a new 

school year. Schools are for all 

children—some beginning with students 

as young as 1 month of age, others 

serving students as old as 21. All of 

these schools and children have one 

important characteristic in common— 

parents! They have parents to partner 

with as the single most important way to 

ensure student success. 

The more a parent guides and 

supports a child at home, the better the 

child will succeed in school. An 

Parent 

Involvement 

AdviceWise 

involved parent will provide teachable 

moments during activities like folding the 

clothes, setting the table, and going on 

trips. He or she will teach values by 

modeling them. Demonstrating kindness 

and helpfulness to others teaches those 

character traits. A parent who values 

school will create an environment at 

home and a relationship with the school 

that will foster learning. Since we know 

parent involvement has a powerful 

impact on student learning, here are 

some tried and tested ways to set your 

child up for success and also maintain it 

as the year progresses. 

Start the Partnership at Home 

Student 

Achievement 

Parent Involvement and Student 

Achievement 

Work Area 

Your child should have a designated 

work area of their very own. Look for 

just the right place for your child to do 

homework, read, and have computer 

access. Make sure this area is 

comfortable, inviting, and well stocked 

with books and materials. You might 

have a desk or favorite tabletop area 

with all of the supplies your child needs 

to successfully complete assignments and 

projects. Comfortable seating such as 

an easy chair or beanbag should also 

be available. Giving children a special 

place of their own will be a big step 

in ensuring success for this school 

year. 

File and Display Area 

Your child will generate a 

tremendous amount of work during 

this school year. You will want to 

have a system in place to manage 

the paperwork and show your child 

that you greatly value his/her 

accomplishments. A great solution 

to keeping track of enormous amounts of 

paper is to keep a filing cabinet or 

accordion folder system. Depending on 

your child’s age, you can file the papers 

by month or subject. Such a storage 

system will show great respect and 

appreciation for your child’s work. 

Then, set up an 

educational 

display. Use an 

easy-to-find 

fishnet to display 

your child’s 

work. These are 

available in 

most party 

supply stores. 

Have your child 

select favorite papers for this honored 

spot. 

Build the Partnership at School 

The Classroom 

With your home all prepped and 

ready-to-go, get as familiar as you can 

with the school and classroom where 

your child will be spending so many 

hours away from home. If there is a 

school visiting day, be sure to attend. If 

not, make your own as soon as possible. 

Get to know your child’s school, 

classroom, and teacher as well as 

possible. 

The Teacher 

Having a positive relationship with 

your child’s teacher will be worth its 

weight in gold. This is your partnership. 

From your child’s point of view, it will 

help greatly for him or her to know that 

you have a direct connection with this 

special person. 

Maintain the Partnership between Home 

and School 

A Personal Communication System 

Try to set up a regular meeting 

schedule with the teacher. Plan a 

schedule for a weekly or monthly 

conference. If daily interaction is 

possible, include that as well. Build your 

connection and work at it just as you 

would with any other important 

relationship in your life. 

A Written Communication System 

Here is an 

example of an 

effective written 

communication 

system. 

Select for 

yourself 2 

handy pads, a 

plastic bag, 

and a special 

pen. With 

these simple materials, you will be set. 

Start the note writing system on your 

end. Use these friendly notes to share 

any helpful or interesting information 

about your child with his or her teacher. 

Write your note, fold it up, and place it 

in the plastic bag with a blank piece of 

paper for the teacher’s response. 

Your child will be the special 

messenger who carries the 

messages back and forth between 

the two important partners. This will 

ensure an open line of 

communication between you and 

your child’s teacher. 

Having your home set up for 

school, will show great respect and 

appreciation for your child’s efforts. 

Familiarizing yourself with the school, 

classroom, and teacher, demonstrates 

strong support for what is being asked of 

your child. When you keep a 

communication system going, you are 

actively creating and building a 

partnership. A strong connection 

between home and school is one of the 

major building blocks for guiding your 

child through a year of school success.

Necessary 

Dooms Day 

Documents 

By: Larry E. Bray, 

Esquire 

Law Offices of 

Larry E. Bray, P.A. 

In the wake of various well known 

cases involving people who are unable 

to make their own choices, such as Terry 

Schiavo, it is very important that you 

give serious thought to basic family 

estate planning tools such as the living 

will and the health care surrogate 

designation. You should also, think about 

a testamentary will or revocable living 

trust and a durable power of attorney. 

Many people feel that the 

catastrophes these “dooms-day 

documents” are meant to address are 

just so remote and so difficult to think 

about. With our busy schedules, it’s hard 

to take the time to go to a lawyer’s 

office, tell your life story, think about 

your mortality and get it done. People 

are under the misconception that it’s too 

expensive and these things cannot 

happen to them. 

But the facts are: (1) things can 

happen at any time, (2) it doesn’t take a 

lot of time, (3) it’s not expensive and (4) 

you don’t even have to leave your house 

except to have two witnesses present 

when you sign (plus a notary if it’s a 

will). In fact, if you don’t care that you 

don’t actually meet the attorney who 

prepares your documents, the whole ball 

of wax can be done without ever going 

to a lawyer’s office. The information can 

be taken over the phone, payment can 

be mailed, documents can be mailed to 

you for review, and then they can be 

executed anywhere there are the proper 

witnesses and a notary if needed. Some 

banks and brokerage houses will do this 

for you. Or, if you can’t find a spot, the 

lawyer who prepared the documents will 

be happy to supervise their execution in 

his/her office. Execution can be 

accomplished in under twenty minutes. 

As to the living will, you all know 

that the Terry Schiavo matter was heartrending 

no matter what side of politics 

you were on. The execution of a living 

will and a healthcare surrogate 

designation keeps you in control of your 

own destiny even if you are incapable of 

expressing your wishes any longer. It 

allows you to choose, while you still can, 

how you are to be dealt with in the 

event that the only thing keeping you 

alive is a machine. Your designated 

healthcare surrogate is selected by you 

to make decisions on your behalf if you 

can’t. That person should be someone 

very close to you and who can be 

trusted to carry out your wishes in 

accordance with your instructions 

thoughtfully set forth in advance in your 

living will. Thus, the title “advance 

directives.” If the document is properly 

prepared, there is a formal procedure 

set forth therein for the proper 

determination of your condition. Even 

then, your trusted health care surrogate 

can still refuse if he/she thinks that it’s

just not the right time. So, those TV 

dramas where the surgeons stand over a 

still warm body waiting to harvest 

organs, are just that, TV. There are 

procedures in place to prevent that from 

happening. 

Both the living will and healthcare 

surrogate designation, if properly 

drafted, also address privacy issues that 

have now come into all of our lives via 

“HIPAA” (the Health and Income 

Portability and Accountability Act of 

1996). Because of this legislation, even 

immediate family members can be 

prevented from seeing a loved one’s 

medical records, which may be needed 

for decision making purposes, unless 

your doctor and the hospital have your 

living will on file with the proper HIPAA 

authorizations contained therein. This 

has been a nightmare for at least two of 

my clients who came to me for help to 

remedy this very situation. 

Surely, this article is not meant to 

preach nor should it be construed as 

advice as to what your living will should 

say about unthinkable things. The intent 

here is simply to sensitize anyone

eading this to think 

about this stuff. And 

maybe, in doing so, 

someone will realize 

that it really is 

important to express 

their thoughts on the 

subject, in some 

legally recognized 

manner, in 

advance of anyone 

ever having to think 

about it. 

Think about how 

GOOD you’ll feel if 

you just make the 

little effort and take 

the little time it takes 

to do the right thing. 

Like Walter Brimley 

says, “It’s the right 

thing to do.”

3. Hire someone who will protect your 

best interests. 

Sellers often sacrifice service and 

representation when using these 

agencies. A reputable realtor will be 

willing to fight for your best interests and 

offer guidance through a complicated 

process. Choosing the offer is one of the 

most important things that a full service 

provider can help sellers do. A 

professional real estate agent will be 

able to put thousands of dollars or more 

into a seller’s pocket because of the 

research they provide. 

Limited service firms have been 

around for as long as I’ve been selling 

real estate. Track record and experience 

are very important in receiving top 

dollar. As a seller you want to receive 

the highest price, with the best terms, in 

the shortest amount of time. Are these 

limited service real estate agencies able 

to do that at their reduced fee? The 

answer is clearly “NO”! ❂
