Jeff Mortimer’s dreams of be-coming a rap artist seemed thestuff of fantasy.
Until a wish-making project tolift the young cancer patient’sspiritshitamajornote—stunningeven music industry veteranswith his gift and landing theWestPalm Beach 19-year-old a recorddeal.
It all started one modest nightin April, whenMortimer took thestage as “Young Jay” at Guanaba-
nas restaurant in Jupiter, an im-promptu appearance in front offamily and friends arrangedby thechildren’s charity, Alliance ForKids.
Only there was someone spe-cial in the crowd: a local DJ andindependent music producerwith important connections inthe business.
“I heardhimsing fourwords,and I thought, ‘This kid is goingto be awesome,’ because he’s re-ally talented,” said Billy Okon,
AspiringrapperJeffMortimer,aka YoungJay,recordstracks forhis firstalbum inthe teenlounge atPalmBeachChildren’sHospitalin WestPalmBeach.

A HEALING BEAT
My LifeVerse 2
Kid from Palm Beach got the verses on the mind
Tell them haters have a seat
kicking words and kicking lines
How you do this son, how I do it bro
Imma do this struggle man, then I’ll let you know
Been four years man, battling this cancer
I remember the days call and no answer
I couldn’t even eat, I couldn’t even speak
Now the day that your boy Jay
speak and preach
Let them homies go and teach
Hear the barrels in my mouth
every day I speak
Cuz Young Jay’s surviving,
Young Jay is making it
Gotta do it big whatever is mine I’m taking it
— Young Jay

Broward County has been promising for40 years to fix the problem of unsynchro-nized traffic lights. Now officials say theyhave the solution — a real-time system thatcan adapt to changing traffic conditions —but it is still about six years away.

Bob Strong spent morethan 30 years in the U.S.diplomatic corps. But itwashis stint in1954 asFortLau-derdale’s only black life-guard in which he firstbrought real change.
His presence as a life-guard—and the traininghegave to others—meant thatblack people got a beach toswim in instead of a pool. At a time when lunchcounters and bus stops were being integrated bysit-ins and marches across the South, it was thebeaches of Fort Lauderdale that became the epi-center of integration.
The Civil Rights Act,which passed 50 years agoWednesday, was supposedto provide a legal basis toend segregation, unequalvoting laws and discrimina-tion based on race, religion,sex or national origin.

Plantation is moving forwardwith plans for a new communitycenter.
The City Council recently ap-proved spending $2.1 million on anew community center to replacethe old one demolished last year inKennedyPark.
The council had two choicesfrom the project’s architect: a10,620-square-foot building thatwould have cost $1.8 million plus$200,000 in design fees, or the $2.1millionoption,plus the samedesignfees, for a 12,500-square-foot build-ing.
“I think we should go for thelarger community center while wecanbecause it’sdefinitely easier and
cheaper to do it now than to try toretrofit in 10 years,” CouncilmanBobLevy said.
Councilman Ron Jacobs andParks and Recreation Director JimRomanoagreed.
“The building is going to be here30, 40, 50 years, and I just think inorder to provide the best facilities,which we typically do in our city, isto meet the community’s needs,”
Romanosaid.The money is coming from a
2003bond,whichwasrefinancedinNovember. The bond has $2.1 mil-lion left in it, according to city staff,so the design fees will have to befoundelsewhere in thecitybudget.
Councilman Chris Zimmermanpreferred the smaller building, sothe citywouldn’t have to spendout-sideof thebondmoney.
“I’m not so sure we have thebudget to enlarge the building,”Zimmerman said. “That’s my big-gestconcernof theproject.Oncewebuild something, we aren’t going tobuild it bigger later, I understandthat, but I’m concerned about ourbudget. I don’t want to see us in aposition where we finally look likewe are coming out of things and allof a suddenstart to splurge.”
