Virtual Fitness Challenge Keeps Delray Seniors Active During COVID-19
FAU Medical Students Collect and Donate More than 23,000 PPE Items It reads like a very long grocery list, except that the items on the list have nothing to do with groceries. The list includes more than 23,000 items of personal protection equipment (PPE), which medical students from Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine have collected and donated to health care workers throughout Palm Beach County. The medical school’s FAU COVID-19 Pandemic Response Team, which includes four committees, spearheaded this project. The college-wide pandemic outreach is led by Jacob Musinsky, Jeremy Cohen and Vishnu Muppala, M.P.H., third-year FAU medical students.

Achieve Palm Beach County, a collective impact initiative working to improve post-secondary outcomes for local students, is launching Palm Beach County Commencement Week to honor graduating high school seniors. The entire community is invited to participate in the digital campaign, led in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County, from May 25-29. As live graduation ceremonies across the county have been replaced with virtual events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, both the District and Achieve PBC have sought new ways to recognize the Class of 2020. While the Virtual Senior Week campaign by the District is encouraging students to celebrate themselves online from May 18-22, Achieve PBC is hoping Palm Beach County Commencement Week will get families and other community organizations involved in the celebration, as well.

The Achievement Centers for Children and Families (ACCF), established in 1969 and serves 900 local children and families annually from three locations in Delray Beach, reports overwhelming response to its meal program that launched on March 23. The organization has partnered with local restaurants and community agencies to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to local families. Thus far, they have been able to provide 3500 meals, including 1100 dinners, 900 lunches & 1500 breakfasts and, last Friday, were able to provide two rolls of toilet paper to each family. • Farm Share, one of Florida’s leading food nonprofits, in partnership with Miami Marlins Foundation and Ark of the City are teaming up to host a distribution of food and supplies to South Floridians with food security needs during the coronavirus pandemic. The abrupt and ongoing interruption of business in various industries caused by COVID-19 has increased demand for food distributions to support Floridians. With the help of the Miami Marlins Foundation and Ark of The City, Farm Share is slated to feed 500 local households on Wednesday, April 15. • In response to the “stay at home” orders affecting so many worldwide, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation is pivoting to provide virtual supports and resources to people with special needs and their families. The Foundation is seeking partners to provide virtual programs to a population who typically suffer from social isolation. Now is the time to take advantage of technology and ensure families have access to information, guidance, learning, and social opportunities. • Just one day before receiving a letter from the City of Boca Raton that announced the closure of all nonessential and commercial businesses until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic, Florida Atlantic University merchandise store, It’s Owl Time, officially announced it would be permanently closing its store near the middle of May.
• As Florida Atlantic University has already announced that classes will continue to remain online throughout the Spring 2020 semester, an email was sent today to all students, professors, and other faculty on behalf of the Office of the Provost, that “students now have the option to change grading in most courses from letter grades to a Pass/Fail grade.” • The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) announced Florida will pilot a program for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to purchase groceries online with the use of an EBT card. SNAP participants are automatically eligible to participate in this program and do not need to apply. • The Early Learning Coalition is seeking assistance in helping child care centers serving emergency personnel, and essential workers obtain the necessary supplies they need to stay open safely. During this time of need, The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County has generously received a donation of $10,000 in highly coveted hand sanitizer from the Medical Group of South Florida. • Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced the appointment of KerryAnn McDonald, MD, to the medical staff of the Christine E.

Palm Beach County Commencement Week to Honor 2020 Graduates Achieve Palm Beach County, a collective impact initiative working to improve post-secondary outcomes for local students, is launching Palm Beach County Commencement Week to honor graduating high school seniors. The entire community is invited to participate in the digital campaign, led in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County, from May 25-29. As live graduation ceremonies across the county have been replaced with virtual events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, both the District and Achieve PBC have sought new ways to recognize the Class of 2020. While the Virtual Senior Week campaign by the District is encouraging students to celebrate themselves online from May 1822, Achieve PBC is hoping Palm Beach County Commencement Week will get families and other community organizations involved in the celebration, as well. “A big part of traditional ceremonies is the pride and joy families get to express when their students walk across that stage,” said Achieve PBC Executive Director Robin T. Watson. “While there is no stage this year, we hope this campaign will give the community a gratifying and highly visible way to celebrate students in a way that encourages them and honors their collective achievement.” During PBC Commencement Week, Achieve PBC will release a series of daily videos on its social media pages featuring brief commencement addresses from prominent community leaders. Other organizations and community members are also encouraged to join the online celebration by using the hashtags #PBCgraduates and #AchievePBC
when posting on social media that week. Achieve PBC has also created a free toolkit to make it even easier for its partners and other community organizations to join the digital campaign. The toolkit, available on the Achieve PBC website at AchievePBC. org/PBCgraduates includes graphics, templates for social media captions and email, and a branded frame to add to digital photos. It also includes a list of ideas to help organizations celebrate students while maintaining social distancing protocols. “We’re proud to be a partner in PBC Commencement Week,” said Deputy Superintendent Keith Oswald, who also serves as a co-chair of the Achieve PBC Operations Team. “Students have had to adapt to many changes and challenges to make it through this year, so we want to do everything we can to make graduation a special time for seniors.” Information and resources for the District’s Virtual Senior Week and graduation schedule are available on the District’s website at palmbeachschools. org/graduation2020. Hosted by United Way of Palm Beach County, Achieve PBC is a crosssector initiative designed to activate and leverage community resources to support local students in getting to and through an education beyond high school. Its vision is that every Palm Beach County student completes a post-secondary credential within six years of high school graduation. For more information about Achieve PBC’s impact, or to learn how to get involved, visit AchievePBC.org or send an email to info@achievepbc.org.

Local Resident’s Program Addresses children’s Social, Emotional Needs Amid Coronavirus Pandemic With kids learning from home as schools globally shutter to try to slow the spread of COVID-19, some students began looking for guidance to cope with the unknown. They called Dwayne Bryant, their mentor, teacher and coach. “They were like, ‘Mr. Bryant, what are we going to do? We need your voice right now, these kids need your voice. Why haven’t you posted anything?” recalled Bryant, a Delray Beach resident who is founder and president of Chicago-based Inner Vision International, Inc. “I was like, ‘Dude, I don’t know what to do,’ and he was like, ‘Wait, we don’t have time to worry about that now. You need to put some stuff up.’” Bryant called another mentee, who had the same concern. The young man, a student in film and video with a concentration in production at Chicago’s Columbia College, offered to put his expertise to use. In less than two weeks, the duo converted Bryant’s home into small studios and created several powerful and highly engaging digital learning content and workshops. They focused on goal setting, time management, conflict resolution and bullying, joining the field of schools in the scramble to move teaching and learning online. Bryant has leveraged the relationship between teacher and learner. His programs are interactive, allowing the parent or teacher to play the content, pause and have a conversation with the student. The programs are built on his evidence-
based Social Emotional Learning curriculum series that has served as a national model in transforming the life trajectory of urban youth. Blondean Y. Davis, superintendent of Matteson (Illinois) School District 162 since 2002, said she called on Bryant when she “needed a highly engaging message of hope and life skills to permeate the homes of ” her families in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. “Mr. Bryant was able to readjust with our district to create highly engaging content for our families to continue to focus on being successful individuals as well as productive citizens,” Davis said. “I believe this content would positively impact families across the entire nation.” His impact is also local. “I can’t stop thinking about our session especially the team building component. I noticed a shift in my staff during that activity and afterwards,” Principal, LaToya Dixon of Village Academy wrote after he did a ‘Building the Winning Team’ workshop for her teachers last year. Bryant, a former bully, uses his personal experience and bases his lessons on life trials and triumphs with which the students can identify. They have and will continue to inspire thousands of students in having the mental strength to overcome adversity and fear, especially through this pandemic. “This is important because the prefrontal cortex of a human being is not developed until their mid ’20s, therefore, their ability to focus, their ability to reason is not developed,” said Bryant, who holds dual degrees in business finance and
international business from Florida International University. “They have never seen or never felt the level of turmoil, the level of uncertainty, the level of disappointment and the level of heartbreak that they are experiencing.” Some of Bryant’s students have lost loved ones to the coronavirus and are seeking answers. “They’re going to have birthdays and nobody will be showing up, and momma ain’t going to the store to get cupcakes. So, they’re going to have to deal with the new reality,” he added. “A lot of the students don’t have the coping skills to get through this productively.” He is dubbed “The Child Whisperer” and the “Urban Mr. Rogers” for his uncanny ability to reach parents and students at all levels. He helps to navigate the uncomfortable paths of life, which will be critical for parents and students as they address their social and emotional needs during this pandemic. “We know that our children and parents are home so what we’re trying to do is bring life skills and character development into the homes while they’re both there,” said Bryant whose presentations are often laced with encouragement, inspiration and a challenge to the young people to take control of their lives and deal with difficult situations. “We also know, according to the CDC, that the average parents spend less than 10 minutes a day talking to their children. They don’t know how to have a conversation with them. And so what we’re doing is developing a constructive
dialogue for them.” Since leaving his six-figure job with Johnson & Johnson in 1997, he has been crisscrossing the country empowering inner city youth. He made three guest appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show and served as the TV host of “Know Your Heritage,” a weekly multi-cultural quiz show, in Chicago, which ran for two consecutive years. Bryant has officiated several newsworthy events including serving as master of ceremonies for President Obama’s Library Unity Breakfast in Chicago, speaker at Claflin University’s Spring Convocation and at his alma mater. Serving as the master of ceremony, Dwayne Bryant brought his vibrant, energetic, motivational talents to our Community Leaders Summit, helping us to bring together top leaders in our community to map out FIU’s future, including our capital campaign and strategic plan,” Mark Rosenberg, president of FIU wrote. “We’re proud to count him as one of our Worlds Ahead alumni!” Bryant’s life models his teachings and he has been on a pursuit to make this world a better place for more than two decades. From the classroom to the boardroom, the Winter Park, Florida, native is the living embodiment of making it against all odds. Despite growing up in a single-parent home, Bryant viewed his situation as an opportunity to overcome his environment and use his challenges as a platform to inspire others.
POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy
What Followers Expect of Their Leaders Recently I watched a video of a high school valedictorian’s graduation speech to his class. He talked about the elation he felt when, after years of hard work and personal sacrifice, he had achieved his goal of being named valedictorian, the number one-ranked student in his class. But then he made a sobering observation: That feeling of euphoria lasted “about 15 seconds.” He said he had expected to feel much more – fireworks maybe, or much more excitement. But no. When the reality of receiving the academic honor had settled in, he felt “nothing.” As quickly as the surge of emotion came, the feelings subsided. Within about 15 seconds. So he cautioned his fellow students to set goals and dreams, but keep them in perspective. He warned, “Have no regrets in the 16th second.” What
May 22 - May 28, 2020
the scholar said was reminiscent of the haunting Peggy Lee song of years ago, “It That All There Is?” We can pour our time, talent and energy into accomplishing a certain objective, only to find that after it has been achieved, it is not as fulfilling as we had imagined. For most, if not all, of us, high school is a distant memory. As is college, if we attended. Instead, you are probably in the midst of a career and you set goals, both professional and personal – some for that day, others for the week, this year, for your entire career. “When I achieve that (whatever it is), then I will be happy,” we reason. We forgo other priorities in our lives – relationships, health and fitness, the ability to enjoy and appreciate the moment. Because our goals and objectives are all that matter. Then, as the valedictorian noted, we hit the target. We reach our goal. And
for about 15 seconds, we revel in euphoria, the overwhelming satisfaction of accomplishment. But then comes the 16th second, and we find ourselves wondering, “That’s it? Is that all there is?” So we would be wise to heed the advice of the stellar student: “Have no regrets in the 16th second.” This is not a 21st century problem. It is one that existed thousands of years ago, as we learn in studying the Bible. We find different words, but the same message – do not focus on the wrong things. Why strive for the temporary when we can gain the eternal? What do you have today, what are you working for, that you can take with you when you die? “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves can break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not
www.bocaratontribune.com
destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21). Concentrate on those things that will endure. A wise person once said, “When all is said and done, only two things will last: the Word of God, and people.” If that is true, it is unwise to devote ourselves to other things, at the expense of a growing relationship with God, as well as relationships with people we love. “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8) Realize this temporal life will soon be over. The Scriptures talk about our earthly lives as “a vapor” (James 4:14). All too quickly, they are gone. But then we confront eternity – what will happen then? “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36).

THOUGHTS FROM THE PUBLISHER
By Rick Boxx
By Douglas Heizer
Open Boca Raton, but do it cautiously, safely – and soon
Coronavirus continues to plague our lives, institutions and the economy throughout the U.S. and around the world. And after enduring weeks of strict isolation, we are all ready to break out into the open to enjoy some fresh air, a sit-down meal with friends at a comfortable dining spot and some shopping at stores that might not be considered “essential.” This pandemic that’s messed with our lives going on three months is really annoying. We’ve had to put up with uncomfortable facemasks and uncomfortable living conditions. We’re really tired of binging on television, staring at the ceiling and, as the Statler Brothers once sang, “Counting flowers on the wall.” We got some good news this past week from Gov. Ron DeSantis who said he plans to begin easing some of the restrictions that have held us safe in our own homes, longing for the outdoors, the parks, the beaches and restaurants that offer more than only “pickup and delivery.” But DeSantis didn’t give us a timetable for opening. And the president promises only that freedom will come “soon.” Two things come to mind in these difficult times. We all have a duty to prepare for the world we will eventually walk out into. And the people who will begin reopening their shops and stores in Boca Raton and its environs this coming week – we hope – have a responsibility to let us know what we will encounter. Lots of people say we will encounter a “new normal” when we saunter out into the streets to face a brave new world. We have to be ready to deal with it. Remember when wearing facemasks in stores and businesses was just beginning? Those of us who donned those facial accouterments back then felt truly out of place and a bit freaky with a hunk of cloth around our mugs. Now, we feel strange if we go into a store without a mask. We’ve all felt the hostility of others who are becoming more and more frustrated by these “new rules.” We’ve been told to move away from other people in stores and warned to observe the “oneway” signs on the floors of businesses. We are all dealing with telephone menus that tell us that “out of an abundance of caution and because of CDC regulations,” the store is closed. Let’s hope this week sees some thawing of the COVID-19 ice. We deserve it. We have been through tough times and things don’t seem to be improving very fast. When Gov. DeSantis said he
planned to start opening Florida, he excluded the three southernmost counties – Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach – which means changes in our situations are being put off to another day. And we don’t know which day that is. To our friends who operate businesses in the South County area that have been dark and empty for months, please let us know when you are opening, and what regulations, if any, we will have to follow to enter your premises. You know, The Boca Raton Tribune has been working hard not only to present news of importance about COVID-19, but we’ve encouraged small business owners to make an announcement of when their eating spots, clothing stores, nail clipping salons, barber shops, breakfast nooks, card stores, shoe repair businesses, furniture stores, car dealerships or other entrepreneurial efforts will be back in business. Keep letting us know. Send some of your pertinent information to the newspaper. Or, better still, buy an ad. Newspapers have expenses, too, and we’re are not out of the financial woods. We want to post all the info we can about what your business is doing right now. Are you open or closed? Do you have new hours? Are you offering specials? We want to share this online for free. Please fill out this simple form with basic info and we will post it for our readers as soon as possible: https://bit.ly/355eupA. We are very glad that many businesses out there have taken the initiative and already sent us their information. And we’d love to tell the world when you’re going to be back to “business as usual.” Yes, we want normalcy back again. At first, it may be a new normal, with maskwearing required, greater distances between tables at restaurants and fewer available seats in movie theaters or at live theater productions. It has truly been a learning experience to try and stay in touch with friends and colleagues via Facebook, Zoom, YouTube and other cyber-communications modes. But nothing beats a warm smile and a handshake (for now, we’ll accept an elbow nudge) from friends we haven’t seen for too long. Let’s get together – but do so by following the rules.
Choosing Calm and Quiet in a World of Angry and Loud
Three guests were invited to debate an emotional topic on a talk show program. The discussion among the two guests and the host became so heated that they began shouting at each other. (I know, this has become almost standard behavior on broadcast media these days, but I wanted to point out what happened next.) Finally, after the shouting had gone on for several minutes, the host stopped the bickering by asking the third guest, who had been silent, for her opinion. Her quiet and thoughtful words suddenly brought order to the chaos. Not only that, but her demeanor also made her seem more credible than the others with their shrill shouting. In our world today, with noise coming at us from all directions, some have decided that the one who shouts the loudest wins. It is another take on the adage, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” But in reality, a calm and collected approach to communicating is still the most effective and most of the time, carries the most impact. This is hardly a new revelation. The Bible, which some have considered as the greatest book on business and professional practices, has much to say about the strengths, weaknesses and pitfalls of the spoken word. For instance, Proverbs 15:1 states, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Another passage says, “A wise man’s heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction” (Proverbs 16:23). Such admonitions are not limited to TV and radio talk show programs. Years ago, civic leaders gathered in a major city to discuss the possibility of making a proposal to host the Summer Olympics. Discussion turned negative, with most participants focusing on the potential problems hosting such a massive event could cause. After interaction had gone on for more than two hours, the meeting’s
leader turned to one of the newest members of the group. This individual had yet to offer any comments, so the moderator pointed asked, “Ted, you have not said anything. What do you think?” With everyone else in the room sitting quietly and expectantly, he calmly and quietly responded, “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean.” Only two or three minutes passed, but it seemed like hours as everyone else in the room pondered what Ted had just said. Suddenly, someone excited said, “You know, he’s right!” And from that point, the whole course of the meeting changed. Ted did not tell them his reply was a direct quote from the Bible, Proverbs 14:4, but his meaning was clear: No manure, no milk. Or to put it into better workplace terms, to accomplish anything of importance, you have to be willing to confront inevitable challenges. The Scriptures tell us God’s preferred way of communicating with His people is to do so softly, not by shouting or giving dramatic messages. In 1 Kings 19, we read about Elijah, who had been used by God in a series of miracles. Afterward, physically and emotionally depleted, the prophet had fled upon learning the vicious queen Jezebel sought to kill him. After resting and being refreshed, Elijah had waited for God’s next instructions. There came a powerful wind, then an earthquake. Verse 12 tells us, “After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” God had chosen to communicate with Elijah through quiet words only the attentive prophet could hear. For all of us in the marketplace, the application is simple: To sell our product or idea, sometimes a gentle whisper is better than a shout. And if you pray about a major decision, maybe God wants to wait for His whisper.

3 in 4 Boca Raton Residents Say They Will Support Local Rather Than Larger Retailers Once Lockdown Is Over, Reveals Survey Sorry, We’re Closed… As millions of people stay home, avoiding unnecessary shopping trips to flatten the curve, it’s no secret that small businesses across Florida are feeling the devastating economic effect of lockdown. In fact, with such a sudden disruption to cash flow, a large number of small business owners say they don’t think they could continue operating for longer than three months in the current conditions caused by the pandemic*. Now, more than ever, local businesses need community support in order to remain afloat and it seems Floridians are the perfect example! Florida car dealership, Gunther Volkswagen, conducted a study of 1,000 residents across The Sunshine State to find out how they will be supporting local businesses through the current crisis. The survey discovered that encouragingly, three out of four (71%) Boca Raton residents say they will be consciously shopping at smaller, local stores as opposed to larger retailers and franchises once lockdown is over. When people buy local, a greater proportion of that money stays in the local community. A study by the American Independent Business Alliance found that that for every $100 spent at a local business, $68 remained in the local community, compared to only $43 of each $100 spent at a chain retailer. Moreover, local busineeses will more often that not have an incentive to do business with other local companies. Large retailers on the other hand, tend to source their supplies from out-of-town. While lockdown has caused an undeniable disruption to the daily routines of a majority of Americans, it seems many are seeing the silver living of spending more time at home. Nearly half (45%) of respondents say being able to enjoy quality time with their family or partner is the best thing to come out of lockdown. This was followed by an increase in community spirit (35%), which emerged at the perfect time to help support small businesses in need. A decrease in pollution (9%) is another positive aspect respondents appreciate, followed by more time to conduct home improvements (6%), more hours of sleep (3%) and learning new hobbies/skills (2%). Gunther Volkswagen has invested in a number of community
organisations throughout lockdown in order to aid in combating the negative repercussions of the Covid-19 crisis. These include HOPE South Florida and their provisions of crisis housing, mobile showers, meals, clothing and employment, as well as 4KIDS, providing a place of safety and refuge for children and young adults. Due to charitable events, gatherings and fundraisers being cancelled during this time, non-profit humanitarian organisations are also feeling the financial strain from lockdown restrictions. Opting to visit local stores after isolation regulations have eased is one way to help rebuild the economy in your community. Additionally, there are a few other ways you can assist while businesses are forced to remain closed or shorten their trading hours – Gunther Volkswagen has provided suggestions of how you can get involved: Donate meals to local hospitals and first responders. These are essential workers helping the community on the frontlines. As a heart-warming gesture, you could donate to organisations that deliver meals to hospitals and non-profit foundations in your area. Buy a gift card or voucher from a local company. Many small businesses are relying on these to keep rental and staff salaries afloat while there is no cash flow. If you have a loved one with a birthday during this time, a voucher is the perfect gift during financially stressful times. Order food deliveries from small, local restaurants. Instead of ordering food from larger franchises, check out local offerings to see what’s available in your area. Place online grocery orders through nearby local stores, rather than large retailers. If you order groceries online, try doing a Google search to find out which shops offer delivery. Plus, delivery charges are likely to be cheaper if the store is closer to your home. ‘The importance of community has never been greater in The Sunshine State, in order to help alleviate the economic stress on small businesses caused by lockdown restrictions,’ says Joe Gunther, General Manager for Gunther Volkswagen. ‘Floridians choosing to shop local over larger retailers means an increase in local revenue and support where we need it the most.’
Covid Cupcake Campaign Teen Helps Food Insecurity Families
In February, before the pandemic hit the United States, Jack Rogers ’22 volunteered at Feeding South Florida. He was shocked to hear that over 700,000 people in South Florida struggle with food insecurities. Knowing that COVID-19 has only served to amplify the food insecurities throughout the nation, Jack was compelled to help out through a new
initiative he created through his business, JackedUpCakes, called the “Covid Cupcake Campaign.” Jack launched the campaign on May 1, 2020, and has already raised over $1,000 providing over 7,350 meals to those in need. He plans on running the campaign throughout the summer and hopes to raise awareness about this issue of food insecurity.

PBSC students place first in PBL state competitions
Four Palm Beach State College students have advanced to the national stage after winning first place in competitions during the 70th annual Florida Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference. Top l to r: Jorge Badia and Nick Rossi. Bottom l to r: Martaluz Cisneros and Maria Bacas-Cook Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the students competed virtually via Zoom (April 2-18) in a variety of events, including Job Interview, Impromptu Speaking, Accounting Principles, Business Presentation, and Human Resource Management. The PBSC winners were: Jorge Badia, Impromptu Speech; Nick Rossi, Public Speaking; and the team of Martaluz Cisneros and Maria BacasCook, Business Presentation. PBSC alumnus and former employee Adrian Stephenson also took home first place for Client Services. “It feels great to be recognized for the hard work we have been putting in all year, especially considering the challenging and uncertain times that we are facing,” said Rossi, president of PBSC’s Phi Beta Lambda chapter and a bachelor’s degree seeking student. However, I never second guessed whether or not I should compete even though it was online. Just like any great business that expects to make it through the other side of this crisis, we had to remain flexible and adaptable to the times we are going through.”
May 22 - May 28, 2020
Bacas-Cook, who is pursuing a bachelor’s degree, also didn’t let the virtual competition scene intimidate her thanks to the help of Dr. Jehu Chong, Phi Beta Lambda advisor and a professor in the bachelor’s degree programs. “I was a little apprehensive at first. I guess my concern was the unknown. Dr. Chong quickly put those fears to rest when he met with us virtually and encouraged us about competing in this new format. Everyone was so positive and excited that it eased the apprehensiveness that I had about traveling into an uncharted territory. The joy of hearing our names called for first place in our category was unparalleled. We are humbled about what we’ve been able to accomplish, not just for us as individuals but also for Phi Beta Lambda and for Palm Beach State College.” A recording of the awards ceremony can be viewed here. The students will now compete at the national competition, which will also be held virtually this summer. Hundreds of students from colleges and universities, including 11 from PBSC’s Phi Beta Lambda Chapter, participated in competitive activities at the competition. The PBSC chapter is the collegiate division of Future Business Leaders of America, helping prepare students for careers in business and business related fields.
FAU Medical Students Collect and Donate More than 23,000 PPE Items
It reads like a very long grocery list, except that the items on the list have nothing to do with groceries. The list includes more than 23,000 items of personal protection equipment (PPE), which medical students from Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine have collected and donated to health care workers throughout Palm Beach County. The medical school’s FAU COVID-19 Pandemic Response Team, which includes four committees, spearheaded this project. The college-wide pandemic outreach is led by Jacob Musinsky, Jeremy Cohen and Vishnu Muppala, M.P.H., third-year FAU medical students. Jared Goldstein, Alex Small, Mirelle Dawoud and Connor Montgomery, also third-year FAU medical students, reached out to local businesses, research laboratories – including FAU laboratories – as well as members of the community, to acquire the 23,000 PPE items. They collected thousands of surgical gloves, facemasks, face shields, surgical gowns, surgical caps, bunny suits, boot covers, various sanitation supplies, and even four P100 respirators with eight filters. Of the 1,403 facemasks they collected, more than 300 were homemade. As part of their community outreach, the medical students educated local community members about the importance of wearing masks and provided them with resources on how to make them. That is how they were able to obtain and donate more than 300 homemade masks to local health care workers. “As a community-based medical school, our students are attuned to recognizing and addressing the many needs of our community,” said Phillip Boiselle, M.D., dean of FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine. “During these turbulent times, our medical students are now answering the call to help our health care workers on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection of PPE is one of many ways in which our students have risen to the challenge of helping to addressing this unprecedented pandemic.” The 23,000-plus PPE have been donated to Baptist Health South Florida’s Bethesda Hospital East’s emergency department for FAU resident physicians and associated staff, to the Quantum Foundation, who are helping to provide local
www.bocaratontribune.com
health care clinics with PPE to screen underserved populations, and to local nursing homes. “The COVID-19 pandemic has exhausted lifesaving resources that our health care workers desperately need on a daily basis to treat patients and protect themselves from this highly infectious disease,” said Dawoud. “Together with Jared, Alex and Connor, we sprang into action to address the dire need for PPE and other critical medical supplies. Collecting and donating more than 23,000 items was our way of making a difference in our community to help combat this pandemic.” In addition to the Emergency Preparedness Team, FAU medical students have formed the Community Care Team. This group has been reaching out to local organizations to see how best they can serve the community. So far, students have volunteered to deliver groceries for seniors, make face masks at home and have even started a campaign to increase blood donations. They are working to create a partnership with a local senior living center to form "virtual quarantine buddies" between FAU medical students and isolated residents. A third group, the Wellness Team, leads virtual wellness activities, which are scheduled via a shared calendar and include weekly yoga and exercise classes, cooking demos, art-based reflection, and individual class social check- ins. They also have created and distributed a wellness guide featuring free resources. The fourth group, the Education Team, is responsible for COVID-19 education for both students and the community. "As future health care providers, many of us find it difficult to sit back and observe as our community is affected by COVID-19,” said Cohen. “So, we initiated an official FAU response to the virus with the hopes of rallying motivated student volunteers to help support our community, and each other, during this unprecedented hardship. Our response efforts include elements of community education, emergency preparedness, community care, wellness, as well as student mentorship through our Healthcare Careers Outreach Program. We are excited to help in any way possible.”

Virtual Fitness Challenge Keeps Delray Seniors Active During COVID-19 With residents hunkered down indoors due to COVID-19, Abbey Delray South has gotten creative with keeping them physically active. The Delray Beach senior living community is hosting a virtual fitness challenge where residents participate in exercise classes via an app while competing for a weekly grand prize. Instructional exercise videos filmed by the community’s fitness team are uploaded online featuring strength and conditioning, Pilates, yoga, meditation, and tai chi. In addition to the app, the classes are streamed on TV and are accessible on smart devices. Abbey Delray South awards a bottle of wine and a pedometer to one lucky resident
each week to encourage participation. The more classes a resident participates in, the higher the chances of winning. This incentive has been a big hit, with more than 75 residents consistently taking part in the challenge. Some of the most eager participants are residents who typically wouldn’t attend in-person training sessions. The community is ecstatic to see widespread embrace of physical activity despite the pandemic, since the health benefits are so numerous. Seniors who regularly exercise are at lower risk for high blood pressure, colon cancer and diabetes, according to the CDC.

sports Bottenfield Named CoSIDA Academic All-District
The Palm Beach Atlantic beach volleyball team's Ally Bottenfield earned 2020 CoSIDA Academic All-District honors released on Thursday. The CoSIDA Academic All-District award recognizes student-athletes for their accomplishments in the classroom and on the field. To be eligible for consideration, the nominee has to have completed at least one full calendar year at their institution and hold a grade-point average of at least 3.30 while being a starter or important reserve on the team. The graduate journalism major from Cedar Lake, Ind. earns the honor
for the third time in her career at PBA after being named an Academic All-District member in 2016 and 2017 as a member of the indoor volleyball team. Bottenfield finished her career at PBA with a 3.92 GPA. During the inaugural 2020 PBA beach volleyball season, she finished with a 9-3 record with her partner Coleen Sieng. The duo was 4-2 at the No. 1 position and 5-1 at the No. 2 position. Bottenfield was integral in PBA's strong season, finishing their year with a 10-2 record after it was cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
FAU Women’s Soccer Holds Virtual Banquet, Releases Championship Video
Coming off of the team's second straight Conference USA regular season title, but because of the current landscape, Florida Atlantic University women's soccer's postseason banquet was held virtually on Wednesday evening. Members of the program met on Zoom to celebrate the 2019 squad. Joining the FAU coaches and team on the video call were family members as well as support staff. Head coach Patrick Baker recapped the season, and the following awards were handed out: Heart of a Champion – Maddie Winch Academic Excellence of a Champion – Alex Maxson Community Service of a Champion – Elisha Holmes Character of a Champion – Carolynn Wotring Leadership of a Champion – Jessica Monteiro Decorum of a Champion – Hailey Landrus Mentality of a Champion – Gi Krstec Most Improved Player – Sammy Vitols
May 22 - May 28, 2020
Most Valuable Newcomer – Luisa Daikeler Coaches Award – Jessica Monteiro Most Valuable Defensive Player – Alex Maxson Most Valuable Offensive Player – Pernille Velta Most Valuable Player of the Year – Mary O'Hara "A great time was had on Zoom today with our players, coaching staff and High Performance Team, to reflect upon another championship season," said Baker. "We wanted to gather everyone and recognize our 2019 seniors, Live Like Champions Award winners, All-C-USA players, All-Southeast Region players and some of the other team awards. This is a special group of young ladies and we couldn't be more proud of them. Their commitment to excellence in the classroom, and on the soccer field, continually helps change the complexion of the program forever. The 2016 FAU women's soccer recruiting class will never be forgotten and they leave as the most decorated group at our school. We set the bar high and look forward to the 2020 challenges that are set before us."
FAU Athletics Introduces Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers
There is more than one way to score a touchdown with Florida Atlantic University. FAU Athletics is pleased to announce the formation of Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers, open to youth, kindergarten through eighth grade. There is an adrenaline rush like no other following your favorite player as he makes that leaping catch in the back of the end zone. Or the growing cheer as you follow an Owl running back break tackles and rumble in for a score. A similar feel can be found through books, whether it is reading about the “Greatest Running Backs” by George Sullivan or “The Greatest Adventures” by Tony Piedra. This summer, FAU’s first year head coach Willie Taggart will champion Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers. The mission of the program is designed to encourage elementary- and middle school-age students to continue reading, with a goal of completing four (4) grade-level appropriate books. Students who complete the program will have the opportunity to attend an FAU football game during the upcoming season. The program is open to all students, kindergarten through eighth grade (K-
8), based on their grade level for the 2020-21 school year. Each student who completes the program by Aug. 1, 2020, will receive two (2) tickets to an FAU football game*. Students who complete the program and attend a game will receive a Touchdown Reader T-Shirt, be recognized at the game and have an opportunity to take a post-game photo on the field. As the school year comes to a close, join the Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers to keep the adventures alive and to receive the reward of FAU football. How to Participate Parent or guardian of the student wishing to participate may logon to the book tracker form fausports.com/ read, complete the form listing the four books the student has finished. Once submitted, the FAU ticket office will follow up with two (2) FAU football tickets. Teachers, parents or guardians with questions about Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers, are encouraged to contact Community Relations Coordinator Haiden Nagel at hnagel2013@fau. edu.
