Boca Raton postpones building Countess de Hoernle Park

City officials have postponed plans to build the Countess de Hoernle Park any time soon because of budget shortfalls, authorities said Monday.

'Tax revenues are down and I don't think any of the elected officials are in a mood to build it, and I don't think taxpayers are in a mood to fund it, either,' said Buddy Parks, deputy recreation services director. 'It could be a year or it could be five years, so it will just sit until times turn around.'

City officials wanted to build the park on land that IBM once owned behind Don Estridge High Tech Middle School near Spanish River Boulevard and Military Trail.

Jury finds driver guilty in Boca Raton bicyclist's death

Bendy Sainthilaire repeatedly lied to police about being behind the wheel of an SUV that struck and killed a Boca Raton bicyclist because he feared the real driver would harm him and his family, he testified Thursday.

Jurors didn't believe him. They convicted him Thursday afternoon on multiple counts: DUI manslaughter and failure to render aid, leaving the scene of a crash involving death, not having a driver's license and giving police a false name.

Sentencing is Sept. 19. He faces up to 35 years in prison.
