• On Wednesday, April 24, dentists affiliated with Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic, aided by Palm Beach State Dental Health students, will treat adults, 18 and older, at the Dental Health building on the Lake Worth campus. Due to time and space limitations, a maximum of 50 patients will be seen for the day, and treatment will be limited to fillings and extractions. By focusing the treatment in this way, the dentists will be able to do the most good and bring relief to low-income adults who have put off this type of treatment due to the cost. As a result, the dentists will not perform dental check-ups, cleanings or advanced dental work, such as crowns and bridges. Patients who cannot be treated will be given a list of options. • Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) is the first hospital in Florida to adopt game-changing technology for some of its most complicated and lengthy neurosurgical procedures. The ORBEYE 4K-3D Video Microscope will be used by neurosurgeons at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute (MNI) for skull-based and spine procedures. The technology provides superior visualization, shortens surgical time and enhances patient outcomes through minimally-invasive techniques. • Three Hooters Girls were surprised to find out they earned a spot in the upcoming 23rd Annual Miss Hooters International Pageant. They were surprised with the announcement when they were taken to Bimini on what they thought was a vacation. A few hours later they heard a knock at the door and were given the first clue to a scavenger hunt. Little did they know the scavenger hunt would lead them to the surprise announcement. The three local Hooters Girls who will be competing are Gianna Tulio (Miss Boca Raton), Briana Smith (Miss Fort Lauderdale) and Angela Porter (Miss Naples). • Approximately 1700 children are in foster care in Palm Beach County, many coming from homes where they were abused and neglected.

Jang-Yen (John) Wu, Ph.D., distinguished professor of biomedical science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine, and Brian Snelling, M.D., chief of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery and medical director of the Marilyn and Stanley Barry Center for Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute and BRRH, have joined forces to combine a breakthrough interventional procedure for stroke with a novel drug compound that has neuroprotective properties. • Even though Palm Beach County is known for its vast wealth, one in six residents do not know where their next meal will come from according to the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Since the majority of Palm Beach State College students are residents of the county, they too may be struggling to get enough to eat. To help ensure they have this basic need met, the College has relocated and expanded its food pantry, now called Panther’s Pantry. • Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced the appointment of KerryAnn McDonald, MD, to the medical staff of the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute (LWHWI) and BocaCare® Physician Network. She specializes in benign and malignant breast disease. • Art enthusiasts can expect to be moved this fall by three exhibits that cover a range of topics including sexual assault and its effect on victims. The exhibits, which will be displays at The Art Gallery at Eissey Campus and The Gallery at Lake Worth Campus, showcase stories, ideas and perceptions through paintings, drawings, photography, graphic design and more.

COMMUNITY Real Estate Connect Conference Draws Industry Stakeholders Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business recently hosted its first-ever Real Estate Connect Conference, which drew industry stakeholders from around the country to discuss the outlook for various markets in the United States and across the globe. “I think it was really interesting, and I personally learned a lot,” said Scott Crowe, chief investment strategist with CenterSquare Investment Management, based in Plymouth Meeting, Pa. Crowe presented on “Global Public Real Estate Markets” at the conference. “We covered a wide array of topics in a very insightful way,” Crowe continued. “I don’t see any reason why FAU can’t become a center of real estate excellence, given the horsepower that’s behind it.” John Crossman, CEO of Crossman & Company, one of the Southeast’s largest retail leasing, management and investment sales firms, spoke about “The Future of Retail.” Crossman said he saw a strong sense of community at the event in terms of relationship building, problem-solving and the research being done at FAU to serve the community, the industry and its students. “We had a great lineup of speakers and a very strong showing from the commercial real estate community here in the local market, which is what you need,” said Crossman, who is based in Orlando. “It really came together well.” The conference was sponsored by Crossman & Company and The Anderson Family. Randy I. Anderson, Ph.D.,

president of Los Angeles-headquartered Griffin Capital Asset Management Company, recently joined the faculty at FAU’s College of Business as the dean’s adjunct professor of real estate capital markets. “FAU has done a really nice job putting together a world-class real estate faculty, and they’re in a community that’s engaged in real estate at the very highest level,” said Anderson, whose “Economic and Real Estate Market Outlook” presentation opened the event. “I think this conference is the start of a bridge to bring together that academic excellence with the real estate community.” Daniel F. Cullen, a partner at Baker McKenzie, gave a presentation on “Opportunity Zones Investment Opportunities” at the conference. It was a privilege to join such an accomplished group of experts at FAU’s inaugural Real Estate Connect Conference,” Cullen said. “The program is off to a great start.” Ken Johnson, Ph.D., a real estate economist in FAU’s College of Business and one of the creators of the Beracha, Hardin & Johnson Buy vs. Rent Index, closed the day’s presentations with an update on the local and national housing markets. “This is the kind of information and knowledge that FAU wants to provide to real estate decision makers – consumers, professionals and policy makers,” Johnson said. “FAU will become a recognized center of real estate expertise.”

‘Hidden Figure’ Christine Darden to share her NASA story Dr. Christine Mann Darden, an American mathematician and aeronautical engineer who spent 40 years at NASA, will be the guest speaker April 25 at Palm Beach State College’s Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College Speaker Series event. The free event, to be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Eissey Campus Theatre on the Palm Beach Gardens campus, is open to the public, as well as PBSC students, faculty and staff. Those who wish to attend are asked to RSVP at www.palmbeachstate. edu/Honors/SpeakerSeries. Darden is one of the researchers featured in the 2016 book “Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race” by Margot Lee Shetterly. It was later adapted into the Oscarnominated film “Hidden Figures.” At the event, themed “Patterns in Our World,” Darden will share her experiences at NASA as a “hidden figure,” and then hold a Q & A session with PBSC students. “We know that our students will be particularly interested in hearing from her as ‘Hidden Figures’ is our Common Reader this year,” said Honors College Manager Marcella Montesinos. “We all look forward to hearing more about her groundbreaking work and her journey to the top as a minority in a STEM field.” A North Carolina native, Darden retired from the NASA Langley Research Center in March 2007 as a member of The Senior Executive Service. Her final assignment at Langley was as director of the Office of Strategic Communications and Education. She also previously served as director of the Aero Performing Center Program Management Office, as a senior program manager in NASA’s HighSpeed Research Program Office, and for nearly 30 years as an internationallyknown researcher in high-speed aerodynamics and sonic boom minimization

research. Prior to her NASA career, she taught high school mathematics. Darden is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a past secretary of its Aeroacoustics Technical Committee. She has also held memberships in several honor or technical societies. During her NASA career, Darden authored over 57 technical papers and articles, primarily in the areas of sonic boom prediction, sonic boom minimization and supersonic wing design. She is recognized as an international expert in these areas. Darden has been recognized with dozens of awards and honors—including two NASA Medals, the Black Engineer of the Year Outstanding Achievement in Government Award and the Women in Science & Engineering Lifetime Achievement Award. She has also received honorary doctorates from Old Dominion University, Muskingum University (John Glenn’s alma mater), and North Carolina State University. She has a Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Hampton University in Hampton, Va., a Master of Science in applied mathematics from Virginia State University in Petersburg, and a Doctor of Science in mechanical engineering from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

SpeedPro Imaging to Serve Boca Raton Businesses and Community

Acting Class Trains Students for Fight Scenes Students who are training for the stage took turns slapping, punching, kicking and sword-fighting each other Thursday afternoon in the Fern Street Theatre. Kendall Taylor and David Carleton act out a scene from "Romeo and Juliet" in Associate Professor of Theatre Allen McCoy's stage combat theatre elective.Associate Professor of Theatre Allen McCoy directed the 10 actors and actresses as they mock-fought, jousted and tumbled across the floor in his stage combat class, a theatre elective for upper level students. The class is part core conditioning and part basic unarmed fighting – except for jousting swords students use to act out a fight between Romeo and Tybalt in William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” The core exercises are a form of Pilates that fortifies the back muscles. Students also practice centering exercises that come from ballet. The moves strengthen the thighs for when they’re crouching in their maneuvers. “It’s a combination between a dance class and an acting class,” McCoy said. The class gives students a competitive edge when they graduate, because they can add to their resumes that they’re adept at the basics of hand-to-hand

combat and fight sequences with a sword. That’s a plus when acting, singing or dancing is not enough to land a part, said Sarah Byrd, a senior studying theatre. Students do core exercises that are a combination of dance and Pilates in Associate Professor of Theatre Allen McCoy's stage combat class. The staged violence isn’t easy – at first — for students who have never thrown a punch before, said Kendall Taylor, a senior studying theatre. “It helps with confidence overall, knowing how to hold yourself,” Taylor said. “It’s getting us out of our comfort zones.” The students start with basic punches and tumbling and work their way up to headstands, kicks and forward and backward falls, said Aszkara Gilchrist, a senior studying theatre. Near the end of the class, they spend three weeks learning how to wield swords. At the end of the semester, the students incorporate what they learned into a fight scene from dramatic literature. McCoy enjoys seeing some of his most advanced students apply their acting skills to a new challenge. He views stage combat as an analogy for life. “You learn how to get knocked B:10” down and get back up again.”

In an effort to supply Palm Beach area businesses and entrepreneurs with consultative marketing solutions, SpeedPro Imaging, the nation’s leading wide-format printing and graphics franchise, has recently opened its newest location in Boca Raton. The new Boca studio is located at 1020 Holland Drive, #119. An expert in the multi-milliondollar wide-format graphics industry, SpeedPro Imaging is a B2B solution for professional graphics, working with clients on projects such as experiential office design, wall murals, event graphics, tradeshow displays, vehicle wraps and more. With a creative eye and passion for stunning presentations, SpeedPro Imaging provides custom marketing solutions that boost bottom lines. An extension of its clients’ marketing teams, SpeedPro Imaging partners with businesses that want to maximize the efficacy of their efforts via large-scale visuals. SpeedPro Imaging Boca Raton North is owned and operated by local entrepreneur Nathan Paris. Prior to joining SpeedPro Imaging, Paris worked in the marketing industry in North Carolina. Realizing it was time to take his future into his own hands, Paris decided it was time to move back to his home town of Boca and start his own business.

Paris and his father originally opened the studio. They were attracted to SpeedPro Imaging’s opportunity for hands-on creativity, the company’s robust model and franchisees’ ability to reap the rewards of their involved commitment to growing their businesses. Paris has already begun creative opportunities for his local community, working with the Boca small business community, as well as local churches and organizations. “It’s not a coincidence that SpeedPro Imaging is the industry leader in wide-format printing. It’s because of our equal commitment to quality and efficiency,” said Paris. “I’m proud to be able to provide marketing ideas and business solutions to our local businesses and organizations. This has always been home for me and it is my goal to help continuously enrich our community.” With more than 135 studios open or in development in 32 states, SpeedPro Imaging is rapidly gaining a reputation of delivering superior display graphic products that embody key messages and extend brand awareness on behalf of its clients.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

The Passing of the Torch Tears, laughter and fond memories showed the closeness that exists in the Delray Beach Police Department as the force and community said goodbye to one chief and welcomed another in a special ceremony recently. The officers and community honored their outgoing chief, Jeffrey Goldman, and welcomed the new leader, Javaro Sims, during an unusual change of command ceremony at Atlantic High School auditorium. It was the first time in the 92-year history of the agency that a formal ceremony, which followed much of the military protocol, was held. Previous transition ceremonies were more private and pro forma. Among the highlights was the unveiling of the Chiefs’ flag, which

listed each chief in the agency’s history and his tenure. In his last words as police chief, an emotional Goldman thanked the community for its support as well as his officers and staff for their help. This event was all the more poignant for some when Goldman radioed into the dispatch center for the last time to go 10-7 (police lingo for out of service). The dispatcher thanked him for his 30 years of service and bid him Godspeed. Goldman retired from the position after five years as chief, and three decades in the Delray Beach police department. He will begin a job as head of security for American Express. Kudos to Detective Paul Pitti who did a remarkable job as an

entertaining master of ceremonies, and to interim city manager Neal de Jesus, who praised Goldman as a great leader and friend, and offered Sims some sage advice. Shortly before 7:30 p.m., Sims affirmed the oath of office, administered by City Clerk Katerri Johnson, as the city’s first AfricanAmerican police chief and its 16th overall. In a lean message, he thanked his family and reiterated his vision for the agency to be a model for efficiency, effectiveness, professionalism and collaboration – one community. Sims had an early opportunity to shape his command: with the changing of the chief came a rolling series of promotions. He promoted Lt. Gene Sapino to assistant chief, Lt. Russ Mager to captain, Sgt. Jeff

Rasor to lieutenant and patrolman Hannes Schoeferle to sergeant. While faces are changing, there will not be large changes in how the department operates or works with the community. The command staff will support each other and continue to push the department to great accomplishments, said Sims, who has been a strong advocate for community-based policing. As Sims accepts the torch, I leave with him David’s charge to his son, Solomon, in 1 Kings chapter 2: “Be strong and observe what the lord your god requires. Walk in his ways and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go.” And I know Chief Sims understands that quite well.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Unveiling Your True Identity! A person, most often, develops a relationship with another on the basis of what each knows, and comes to like, about the other. This is true in neighborhoods, at the work place, in social clubs, in religious institutions, among fellow students, and in many additional settings where people operate. Many of these will never surpass a mere wave of the hand each time they pass one another, maybe an actual handshake, besides an occasional brief exchange of words of limited significance. Such can easily happen even among people who had never met before, but

which came to find sufficient reason to share some words based on a common experience at a particular moment. There are others who go a bit deeper, and may even engage in conversation each time they pass each other. Perhaps a world or national event of some significance may cause comments to be made and even a dialogue to unfold. Yet, at these two levels just described, chances are that nothing extra will occur unless there is a deliberate effort, and a corresponding response, which enables ties to be established between two or more individuals. That may

depend on how much of one’s personal identity is honestly, gradually, and mutually disclosed; when some form of trust is established among the parties! A person’s looks, speech, and many other factors can be partially helpful, just as they can also be totally deceptive. That’s why I often recommend to individuals and audiences I address: Be sure your identity is manifested far more by who you are, rather than merely by things you possess! It’s quite sad, albeit true, that far too many people today prefer to operate more on the basis of appearance than

reality. Many talk quite well and too much, yet never adding the ingredients that truthfully point to who they actually are as a person! Nevertheless, you can develop a set of easy questions which can be posed to an individual you become interested in knowing better and developing mutual trust.

Helen Babione’s 90th Birthday Celebration

I attended beloved Boca philanthropist, Helen Babione’s 90th birthday celebration luncheon at St. Joan of Arc Church Social Hall in Boca Raton. So many Boca Raton leaders and familiar faces were there to help Helen celebrate her special day. What an awesome event!

Finding Good People – And Not Meddling There are different types of workers; some need close supervision while others do not. Some need very specific instructions on how to proceed with a task or project, others are content to receive general guidelines about what is expected and the latitude to determine how to proceed from there. The challenge for the effective leader is to understand what each employee requires to be able to perform most productively, provide what is needed, and understand how closely to supervise the work. Many years ago, then U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt stated, “The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what needs to be done, and selfrestraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” This is because there are also different types of leaders. Some prefer rolling up their sleeves and getting directly involved; others like to offer close supervision; and still others delegate work assignments and trust their staff to get the job done, checking back only if they have questions or need further instruction. My own working style has always leaned toward minimum of structure and freedom to determine the best way to approach my work. I have had supervisors who demonstrated confidence, giving assignments and letting me do them my own way. Other bosses, however, chose to keep close tabs on what I was doing. Some even micromanaged my work, which I found annoying, even disconcerting. I observed that other people, however, needed closer management. Clearly, we cannot lead everyone exactly the same way. So, as Roosevelt said, good leaders understand how to choose the right people and then discern how much direction they need, without being meddlesome. The Scriptures ad-

dress this important balance: Know the ones you lead. Leaders know what they want to accomplish. They also should strive to know and understand those through whom those goals will be accomplished. “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds…. the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family” (Proverbs 27:23-27). Demonstrate concern and interest in those you lead. Jesus used the metaphor of the shepherd to explain His commitment to His followers. Good leaders are wise to observe His example. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away…. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me – just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10:11-15). Recognize the uniqueness of everyone you lead. Everyone on a team has different gifts, talents and experience. Recognizing their unique contributions enables the leader to entrust each of them with responsibility – and authority – commensurate with what they have to offer. “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body…” (1 Corinthians 12:12-26).

Palm Beach Atlantic President Announces 2020 Retirement Having dedicated his career to private higher education, Palm Beach Atlantic University’s eighth president, William M. B. Fleming, Jr. Friday announced his plan to retire effective June 2020. Fleming, 67, has been instrumental in Palm Beach Atlantic’s growth for nearly three decades raising more than $173 million to support expansion of the physical campus as well as academic, athletic and student life programs. Joining PBA in 1992 as vice president for development, Fleming became president May 7, 2012, after serving as interim president for the previous 14 months. “Pam and I have witnessed first-hand the transformative nature of Christian higher education at Palm Beach Atlantic for more than half of its existence,” Fleming said. “We have seen more than 15,000 graduates launch their lives of faith and service with respect for the free enterprise system, which are the three pillars of Palm Beach Atlantic. We are confident that God will raise a new generation of PBA leaders to continue its mission for the next 50 years and beyond.” “President Fleming is committed to serving the remainder of his presidency in the same gracious and dignified manner that has personified his tenure until a smooth transition takes place next year,” said Board Chairman Jim Jenkins. “On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to express our gratitude for Bill Fleming’s steady, judicious and faithful leadership, working collaboratively with the board, to oversee the transformation of a small college to a thriving university,” Under President Fleming’s leadership, the University gained significant momentum as illustrated by ratings as a “best” choice in U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, and inclusion in the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. During Fleming’s tenure, enrollment has grown from 1,543 (1992) to 3,706 (2018). The flagship campus along the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach has expanded to 29 acres with the construction of Baxter Residence Hall (1995), Greene Complex for Sports & Recreation (1998), Vera Lea Rinker Hall (2002), Oceanview Residence Hall/ Dixie Parking Garage (2002), DeSantis Family Chapel (2003), Gregory Hall (2004) and the Warren Library (2007; 2009). Building acquisitions include Pembroke Place (1998), Admissions building (2003), Lakeview Residence Hall (2004), Human Resources building (2008), Fern Street Theatre (2009), the former Quattlebaum property (2013), Coastal Towers Residence Hall (2014) and Visual Arts Studio (2018). More than 1,100 students live on campus. Academic programs have grown as well. The Orlando Campus opened

April 19 - April 25, 2019

in 2001, focused on providing undergraduate and graduate degrees to working adults. PBA began offering online courses in 1996. Today, Palm Beach Atlantic offers 53 undergraduate majors, 10 graduate degrees and two professional programs in nursing practice and pharmacy. PBA offers complete online degree programs as well as online and hybrid courses through its learning management system, Canvas. There are currently 180 full-time, top-tier faculty and more than 17,000 alumni. The University established six Centers of Excellence: The LeMieux Center for Public Policy, the David and Leighan Rinker Center for Experiential Learning, the Gregory Center for Medical Missions, the Center for Integrative Science Learning, the Titus Center for Franchising and the new Center for Biblical Leadership, which begins this fall. Advancement in athletics has been a highlight of Fleming’s presidency. Palm Beach Atlantic became a member of the prestigious Sunshine State Conference of the NCAA Division II, where PBA has been recognized as a model for community engagement. Today, more than 300 student athletes compete in 18 varsity sports. The University’s 80-acre Rinker Athletic Campus, which opened in 2014 on Parker Avenue, features competition space for baseball, beach volleyball, soccer, softball and tennis along with student recreation. The John & Sheila Rinker Sports Center opened in 2017 to provide top-notch coaching and training facilities. The Parker Avenue Consortium is a community partnership benefitting the education of children and well-being of families living in the vicinity of the Rinker Athletic Campus in order to bring renewed vitality to the neighborhood. Prior to coming to Palm Beach Atlantic, Fleming served in several administrative roles at Wingate University and Guilford College, both in North Carolina. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in political science from Guilford. Judson University in Illinois presented him with an honorary doctorate degree. Fleming additionally serves as chairman of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida, a post that he has held since 2016. He serves on the board of St. Mary’s Medical Center and is a trustee of the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches. He is a member of the West Palm Beach Rotary Club and is a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International. He is a past president of two Rotary Clubs and is a former board member of the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches. Fleming is a Boy Scout of America Silver Beaver Award recipient. The Flemings are members of St. Peter’s United Methodist Church where they have been actively involved in ministry for many years.

Coyotes Sighted in Boca Raton, Again

Recently, residents in the Hidden Valley neighborhood within the City of Boca Raton reported seeing coyotes around their homes. A woman in Delray Beach reported a coyote grabbed her small dog when it was wandering around behind her home. Believe it or not, coyotes can be found in every county in the state, including the Florida Keys and all the way to the beach. They resemble a small German shepherd and typically weigh between 15 and 30 pounds. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that coyotes tend to be shy and elusive, but are known to attack pets when on the hunt for food. They can occasionally be spotted alone or in small groups where food is readily available. Because of Florida’s temperate climate, mating season for coyotes is pretty much year-round. That means pet owners need to be on the alert throughout the year. To protect your pets, don’t allow them to roam freely. Most coyote attacks on pets occur at night or at dusk. During those times pet owners need to be especially vigilant especially if walking in heavily foliaged areas where coyotes can hide. Never feed coyotes! Don’t place food outdoors that will attract wild animals. Secure garbage cans and never try to pet a coyote. If a coyote approaches too closely, immediately act aggressively toward to coyote by making loud noises, waving your arms in the air, throwing sticks at it or spraying it with a hose. However, don’t attempt to hurt the coyote since and injured animal is more likely to attack. Coyotes can be curious but are also timid creatures and, if challenged, will generally retreat. However, remember – any animal will protect itself and its young. Don’t initiate a close encounter with a coyote and remain attentive April 19 - April 25, 2019

to your surroundings (especially when walking in a wooded area). Where coyotes have been sighted, avoid walking pets at dusk, dawn or during nighttime hours. Carry something that can make a loud noise to scare the animal (e.g., an air horn) or something to physically deter the animal (e.g., water pistol, a walking stick or baseball bat). These things will, likely, deter the coyote at close range. In summary: Don’t feed coyotes– The number one most effective way to prevent coyote attacks in your neighborhood is to eliminate wildlife feeding. Coyotes that are fed in residential neighborhoods can lose their fear of people and may eventually test humans (and pets) as possible prey. Intentional feeding, such as bait stations in yards or parks, should be strictly avoided. However, many people unintentionally feed coyotes by leaving pet food or garbage out at night. Don’t allow your pets to run loose– Free-ranging domestic cats and feral cat colonies may also serve to attract coyotes; it is important that domestic cats be kept indoors and that feral cats be spayed or neutered to control this population. Bringing food inside when outdoor cats are not feeding might alleviate part of this coyote attractant. Don’t run from a coyote– Shout or throw something in its direction. Do not run away. Don’t create a conflict where none exists– If a coyote is acting as a coyote should by avoiding humans and pets, don’t seek out opportunities to haze or otherwise aggravate the animal. Report aggressive, fearless coyotes to Florida Fish and Wildlife at 888.404.3922

Community Leaders Gather to Shape Our Children’s Future By: Robert Weinroth The Second Annual Birth to 22 Buisness Breakfast: Shaping Our Children’s Future Together, was held at the West Palm Beach Marriott, where academic, civic and business leaders came together to share ideas. In 2012, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners initiated a discussion around youth violence, disengagement and the need for equity. In 2013, county leaders built upon and broadened the conversation by convening the Youth Symposium, which focused on identifying actions and programs to support the healthy growth, development and education of children and youth from prenatal to young adulthood. This partnership between County Commissioners, the School District of PBC, Children’s Services Council of PBC, United Way of PBC, CareerSource of PBC and other leaders led to a number of recommendations and work areas that have been tackled over the past 3 years. In January 2015, one of the key recommendations (to bring services funded by the County for children and youth under one umbrella) was instituted with the creation of the Youth Services Department. While dedicated to effective program administration, the new department was also charged with interagency

and interdepartmental coordination, and with playing a community leadership role to fully leverage the burgeoning efforts across the county that are designed to improve outcomes for all children and youth. Youth Services’ focus on youth 6 to 22 created an excellent continuum of care to supplement Children’s Services Council’s focus on early childhood prenatal to age 5. Simultaneously, a number of related planning initiatives have been underway on issues ranging from community health to hunger, focused on populations ranging from special needs to boys and young men of color. These initiatives have focused on bringing transparency to some of the long-standing achievement and health outcome gaps in the county. Core Beliefs of United for Bright Futures: Parents

are the experts on their child; and have something important to share in our community Children can achieve their highest potential; should have the support they need to chase their dreams; and want to have their own voice in shaping their futures and solving their challenges Our Community wants all our children to thrive; is stronger when we work together; and expects networks, coalitions and partners to support each other and maximize their resources. The six “emerging themes” from the community conversations helped define six “strategic supports” children, youth and their families need to thrive – access and affordability of basic supports, more effective supports for families and supportive parents and role models, social/emotional sup-ports, educational supports, health and wellness supports,

and alleviation of community stressors and system barriers. These are key to building the stairs to success and they are already being identified and prioritized in other plans such as the Palm Beach County School District’s 2016-2021 Strategic Plan: Growing. Strong. (SDPBC, 2016). The Youth Master Plan Task Force started with a comprehensive analysis of these plans to make sure the Youth Master Plan really is a master plan – one that builds on and unites work already underway With 300 organizations engaged, innovative ways to support the Birth to 22 Youth Master Plan are being developed. We are embracing a “whole community” approach which emphasizes education as a cultural value, shared by all, from birth through college – and beyond.

Boca Raton FC Continues to Roll, Defeats Palm Beach Flames 4-2 in Home Opener

Boca Raton Football Club continued its winning ways on Friday night as they defeated Palm Beach Flames 4-2 at home. Boca Raton FC started off the game with the foot on the gas, scoring three goals within 10 minutes of each other. Maher Soua started to scoring for Boca Raton FC as he coolly placed a penalty kick the opposite side of the keeper. Noah Graziano then headed home the second goal of the game, and Deniz Bozhurt added the third after beating the keeper on a beautiful one-on-one play to put the home side with the early 3-0 lead. However, the home side seemed to lost some of it’s early magic and finished the first half flat and even allowed Palm Beach Flames to get a goal back. Boca Raton FC started the second half better than how they finished

the first. With its intensity back, Boca Raton tried to extend the lead but every effort came up short. Two shots hit the crossbar, while 2 others missed the goal by inches. “We need to do better in closing out games,” said head coach Jim Rooney after the game. “The win was an important one at home, but we can do better, we need to learn to close these games quicker than we did.” Boca Raton FC added its fourth goal of the game in extra time when Soua once again scored, making it his fourth goal in 3 matches. “It was a good team win,” added Soua after the game. “We had great support from our fans and we are happy to have gotten these important three points at home.”

FAU’s Whyte Tabbed C-USA Outdoor Athlete of the Week For the fourth time in 2019, Natalliah Whyte of the Florida Atlantic University track and field team has been named the Conference USA Female Track Athlete of the Week. It's her second honor of the outdoor season after receiving the award twice during the indoor season. Whyte broke the FAU record in the 200 meter dash on Saturday at the Hurricane Alumni Invite with a time of 23.28 for third place. It is the fourth event that Whyte now tops in the FAU record book along with the 100 meter and the 60 and 200 indoor times. Her 100 and 200 meter outdoor times are the tops in C-USA this season thus far. Her 11.17 time in the 100 meter ranks sixth in the NCAA currently.

Her impressive outdoor season comes after a successful indoor season that saw the St. Catherine, Jamaica native win two gold medals at the C-USA Indoor Championship in the 60 meter and 200 meter after breaking school records all season long. She was also the highest individual points earner at the C-USA Championship and was later voted the Top Performer of the Meet on the track side. Whyte and the Owls will be back on the track April 26-27 at the Tom Jones Invitational in Gainesville, Florida.
