The Burton D. Morgan College of Aeronautics at the Boca Raton Airport is Lynn University’s first facility to reopen to students. Although the building has reduced occupancy and expanded safety guidelines, students can resume flight training and meet with instructors. • The School Board of Palm Beach County announced that the Superintendent’s reopening plan for the 2020-2021 school year is approved. After 10.5 hours of deliberation from parents and school board members, the School District will start off the year with distance learning. The district has taken the spread of the virus into account as the average number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has increased significantly. According to their agenda, when the school district initially closed in mid-March, there were less than 70 new cases per day. • Palm Beach State College has been invited by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in its Second Chance Pell experiment, which will provide more education opportunities for incarcerated individuals in Palm Beach and Martin counties. The initiative, first created in 2015, provides need-based federal Pell grants for individuals in federal and state prisons to enroll in postsecondary programs offered at local colleges and universities or distance learning providers. PBSC is among a new cohort of 67 schools invited to participate this year. • Officials in Palm Beach County are witnessing a massive spike in COVID-19 cases due to gatherings and parties happening after dark at local bars and food establishments. As a result, restaurants, and bars can expect to be closed starting today from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. in an effort to issue an order prohibiting the selling of alcoholic beverages and food. • Florida Atlantic University recently announced the appointment of Kelly J. Shannon, associate professor of history and the Chastain-Johnston Middle Eastern Studies Distinguished Professor in Peace Studies, as the new director of FAU’s Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Initiative (PJHR). PJHR’s mission is to work toward developing and sharing the best practices for promoting tolerance and understanding of diverse cultures. It offers a unique multidisciplinary framework operating across the University to invite engagement by all members of the community and external partners in research, scholarship, creative activities, and ap-

plied practices that realize a more just and peaceful world. • If you are deciding what type of mask to wear when going out, the N95, cloth mask may be the best choice to protect yourself from the spread of COVID-19. On July 10, WPTV and Florida Atlantic University’s biology department conducted an experiment to determine the effectiveness of three different popular face coverings against the COVID-19 virus. • Florida Atlantic University Pine Jog Environmental Education Center took a new approach this year to honor winners of its 2020 Green Schools Awards. Foregoing a traditional ceremony, the center created a series of more than 30 award videos to showcase the exceptional efforts of local schools that are “going green” as participants in the center’s nationally recognized Green Schools Recognition Program (GSRP). • 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. 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. They are free and open to the public and feature artwork created by PBSC students and community artists.

Community Local Hospital’s Worries and Response to COVID-19 Surges By: Megan Mandatta In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the status of hospitals remains a point of worry for many. The availability of Intensive Care Unit beds and other necessary materials continue to dwindle. “Some of our hospitals are at full or nearly full capacity,” explains Michael Maucker, marketing manager of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “We have surge plans in place that allow us to increase our bed capacity; and with 11 hospitals in our system, we have the ability to move patients and staff across our organization to help manage our volume. This continues to be challenging- but we know how to do this,” The hospitalization rate across Palm Beach County is 8% with over 2,000 people in the hospital due to COVID-19. Maucker states the hospital is equipped with enough Personal Protective Equipment to keep both patients and caregivers safe. Yet, to combat the nursing shortage, many formerly retired nurses and out of state caregivers are coming to Florida to combat this next wave. Of those hospitalized Maucker notes “We are seeing less acute patients. These are patients who are healthier, with less comorbidities, who may not require ICU care, but often do require hospitalization.” “We constantly encourage the community to do their part to mitigate the spread,” Maucker notes. “Wear your mask. Practice social distancing. Wash

your hands. We all have the power to help stop this by doing those things.” The mandatory mask order in Palm Beach County went into effect last month. Since its enaction, the mask order does not seem to have slowed the spread due to social gatherings continuing to take place in private areas. There is a continued spike of hundreds of positive COVID-19 cases each day. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, runny nose and/or fever, health experts recommend you get tested and self-quarantine immediately. “Testing has become a major area of concern,” Maucker comments. “With an increased and sustained need for COVID-19 testing across our area, we are experiencing delays in receiving results from our outside laboratories.” In addition to getting tested for being a current carrier of COVID-19 Maucker encourages all previous COVID-19 patients to take an antibody test. “There’s a great need for convalescent plasma, which is used to treat some of our coronavirus patients,” Maucker said. “Anyone with a positive antibody test or PCR coronavirus test can qualify to be a donor. If a member of the community had the coronavirus and recovered, please consider contacting OneBlood, which is our bloodbank, to donate plasma for patients who are currently fighting the virus.” There is a OneBlood office located on Glades Rd in Boca Raton if you are interested in an antibody test.

Bank of America Connects Local Youth to Workforce Bank of America today announced that the four Palm Beach County high school juniors and seniors selected as Student Leaders® (#BofAStudentLeaders) have started their paid summer internship experience of leadership, civic engagement, and workforce skillsbuilding. In light of the health concerns that remain in local communities, the program has been adapted to a virtual format, through which students’ will have the opportunity to participate in sessions that will expose them to the vital role that nonprofits play in advancing community health, the importance of publicprivate partnerships to advance social change and a focus on building financial acumen. The Class of 2020 Palm Beach County-based Bank of America Student Leaders® are: Zoe Farrell, Boynton Beach, Santaluces Community High School: a recent 2020 graduate and cancer survivor, she created a bi-annual Mental Health Awareness Week at her school in response to a student who died by suicide suicide. Zoe was also very active in promoting safer schools after the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland. Ashley Kulberg, Wellington, American Heritage School Delray/Boca: a rising senior passionate about debate and politics, she also has a pen pal in Bali and traveled to see her as part of her work with the school’s chapter of Education Rocks. Katherine Oung, Wellington, AW Dreyfoos School of the Arts: a rising senior passionate about civic engagement and politics, she was recently featured in the New York Times for her op-ed titled “Coronavirus Racism Infected My High School.” Daniel Sanchez, Boca Raton, West Boca Raton Community High School: a rising senior passionate about environmentalism and his work to create a sensory garden for people with special needs at the YMCA in Boca Raton. Palm Beach County Student Leaders® will participate in programming that leverages Bank of America’s national partnerships and expertise and will work closely with the bank’s Palm Beach County leadership and nonprofit partners.

www.bocaratontribune.com

They will participate in a collaborative, mentoring-focused project working closely with Communities in Schools of Palm Beach County to develop and deliver a social media strategy to support the organization’s efforts. In addition, Student Leaders® will engage in conversations focused on social justice, civil rights and how to build a more diverse and inclusive society and have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of their personal finances through Better Money Habits®, Bank of America’s financial wellness and education platform. Bringing students from across the country together in order to discuss the role of citizenship and how cross sector collaboration creates community impact is a core component of the Student Leaders® program. This year, 300 students will gather virtually for the Young America Together at Home program, delivered by the Close Up Foundation, which will include discussion of finding one’s voice in order to effect change and pressing policy issues such as the economy, healthcare, the environment and immigration. “Now more than ever, as we collectively navigate the challenges we face in our communities, we remain committed to supporting youth and young adults of all backgrounds by connecting them to jobs, skills-building and leadership development,” said Fabiola Brumley, Palm Beach market president and Southeast regional executive for Bank of America. “Creating opportunities for our youth to gain skills and build a network is a powerful investment in the future of our community.” The ability to earn a paycheck will be essential to many young people whether they are helping to support their families or planning for the future. As part of their Student Leader experience, each student will receive a $5,000 stipend to recognize them for their community achievements. Recent estimates suggest that the number of disconnected youth – those who aren’t in school and don’t have a job – has likely tripled since last year and could be as high as 18 million. Without access to opportunities that build career skills, many young people may be left behind, leading to high rates of youth unemployment and hindering overall economic progress.

Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services Connect Volunteer Shoppers To Senior Clients With New Program By: Destiny Harris Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS) are offering volunteers to aid senior residents in Boca Raton who need groceries delivered to their door. As part of the JFS new Shop & Share program, volunteers do the grocery shopping for seniors who can not shop for themselves. JFS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency and the first of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County that offers a range of programs and services which support people of all ages and beliefs. Since 1979 JFS has provided programs in food, financial assistance, senior services, counseling, and many volunteer opportunities for the community. JFS requires all volunteers in the program to leave groceries immediately outside the client’s front door and clients leave a check for payment outside as well. The contactless approach is

one of the program’s safety measures designed to efficiently reduce the risk of COVID-19. Senior clients in the Shop & Share Program receive up to two deliveries per month. A long term goal the program has is to eventually share special time with seniors when COVID-19 is no longer a major risk factor. According to its website, JFS is accepting more seniors in need of groceries to become clients. In addition, those clients must reside in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, or Highland Beach. The clients must also be willing to reimburse the shoppers immediately when the delivery arrives and provide an active checking account. Seniors interested in enrolling in the program can reach out to Abigail Horowitz, Rales JFS care manager, at 561-852-3333 or AbigailH@ralesjfs.org.

said to ease concerns regarding social distancing, the school is implementing a contact tracing system and providing COVID-19 testing for students and faculty. In addition, the university established an isolation plan if a residential student tests positive for coronavirus. The school said they will have 112 beds in Boca Raton and 12 in Jupiter if students need to be isolated. FAU said they will transition to 100 percent online classes after the Thanksgiving break. FAU’s fall semester is set to begin August 22nd.

Burton D. Morgan College of Aeronautics reopens for flight training

“We’ve heard positive feedback from students and instructors who feel safe with the protocols we’ve put in place,” shared Johnson. “We hope to open the building up to more students soon, so they can take advantage of the resources and training spaces available.” Lynn’s aviation programs have grown over the years. Aeronautics acquired a state-of-the-art simulator in 2016, became its own college in 2017, and added a Beechcraft Bonanza A-36 to its fleet in 2019. The number of students taking flight lessons increased to 146 in 2019, from 52 in 2015. “Affordability, flexibility and access to important certifications and training tools make our program appealing to aspiring aviators,” said Johnson. “We have even more students interested in joining us this year and hope that additional online options will make our programs accessible for professionals who want to advance their careers.” Lynn will offer five aviation majors online beginning Fall 2020: aviation management, aviation operations, aviation security, air traffic control and professional pilot degrees. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration named Lynn’s College of Aeronautics an authorized provider of the Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP CPT). “It’s an honor to be among an elite group of flight schools to earn this certification,” said Johnson. “The ATP CTP is the last step for a pilot to earn that right seat—and we’re right there with them the entire way.”

Protesters Hope to Send Clear Message by Marching, at the Polls It’s been nine days since the world watched a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed George Floyd in daylight, killing him in the middle of a downtown street as three fellow officers stood by and did nothing. The killing, which trails a depressing pattern in American history, triggered astonishing and inspiring nationwide protests over police racism and racial inequality as well as scattered incidences of violence and unrest in cities across the nation. In a symbolic show of support, a group of dismayed local residents are expected to exercise their First Amendment rights today and peacefully express their anger and sorrow. They will walk from Pompey Park, 1101 NW 2nd St., at 5 pm to West Atlantic Avenue. Arm in arm with police brass, they will continue east to City Hall, where they will voice their concerns about the social injustices that have reached a tipping point. A selected list of respected local residents and members of the clergy have been designated to share their views on the current unrest. Members of the public will also be allowed to speak for two minutes. These residents, while decrying the heinous acts, know that they must channel

their frustrations into actionable policies and reform. They each have different roles to play in the fight against systemic racism, but as was the consensus among the organizers recently, “it is important that we remain unified in our resolve.” Like me, they agree that the time to meet anger with action is now. It is understandable that some local residents are uneasy about the organization of a protest taking place in our city. Most of these protests are peaceful, but not all have been. In cities where they are not, police officers are often the target of that violence. Let us look at this protest, not as a sign of our city’s weakness but as a monument to its strength as a community that advocates on behalf of its residents. Delray Beach residents should be assured that what played out in Minneapolis between former Officer Derek Chauvin and Floyd is not likely to happen in their city. That’s because police Chief Javaro Sims has created a culture where his officers respect the residents, regardless of their zip code. Sims said he has provided diversity

and de-escalation training for his officers and has been listening to members of the African American community. Immediately after seeing the video, Sims was the first law enforcement official in Palm Beach County to publicly bemoan the act. “There is no training at this police department that teaches officers to take this kind of action. I believe the officers that stood around are just as guilty. It showed a complete disregard for human life,” he said. “At this police department, we will continue to build community trust and be willing to question and denounce actions that are wrong.” Since he was sworn in as chief last February, Sims had logged countless hours attending community forums and listening to residents’ concerns. That is an understatement as the Delray Beach Police Department, for years, has enjoyed a cordial relationship with members of the African American community. That was largely because of the community policing initiative that fostered relationships between the police and the community through sports and events. Like the thousands of protesters who exercised their right to peaceably

assemble as well as the right of free speech, today’s speakers want to vent, a rage born of despair. And their despair is from knowing that their government has failed them in times of need. Many progressive mayors and governors have been focusing on the urgent need for rapid, fundamental law enforcement reform. Still, most have been mum as rioters and looters rip apart their downtowns, further crippling many small businesses already wounded by the pandemic shutdown. Local leadership could never be more crucial than these days when residents are expecting one of local government’s most vital responsibilities: fighting crime and keeping people safe. I am comforted in knowing that the organizers realize that the issues won’t be solved by policing alone. They understand that real change is local and they hope to send the clear message by registering for the Census and at the ballot box. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@DelrayBeachTribune.com or 561-6650151.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

What Followers Expect of Their Leaders Most leaders have specific expectations. They often communicate, whether orally, in writing, or both, what they expect of those that report to them. They provide job descriptions, set goals and objectives, and determine the parameters that define when, where and how they are to perform their job responsibilities. But how often do we consider that followers might rightfully have expectations of their leaders? Max DePree, the late entrepreneur, business executive and writer, offered this perspective: “Any follower has a right to ask things of a leader. Here are several questions that leaders should expect to hear: What may I expect from you? Can I achieve my own goals by following you? Will I reach my potential by working with you? Have you bothered to prepare yourself for leadership? What do you believe?” A common perspective is that fol-

July 31 - August 6, 2020

lowers – employees, staff, and team members – are there primarily for the benefit of the leader. However, authorities on the business and professional world like DePree have long contended that equally so, the leader is there for the benefit of the followers. Many renowned leaders say one of their foremost desires is to assist those that work for them in maximizing their potential and fulfillment. My first job was as a grocery clerk, working on a local supermarket’s night crew. I was assigned a specific aisle and the responsibility for keeping the shelves stocked, sweeping and mopping the floor, and making certain the aisle looked presentable for shoppers the next morning. The night crew manager, a fellow named Joe, could have spent the night in his office, but every evening would work alongside one of us in our respective aisles. One night I asked Joe why he worked with us, helping us to do our jobs,

rather than just giving us our instructions and making sure we did our work properly. His answer was profound: “I will never ask anyone to do anything that I am not willing to do.” That, long before the term became popular, was my first exposure to servant leadership. I did not ask the manager any of the questions DePree suggested, but from that simple response, I knew Joe had my best interests at heart, as well as those of my fellow workers. The concept of a leader that serves his or her followers was not originated by DePree, or Robert K. Greenleaf, the author of Servant Leadership. It was stated explicitly by Jesus Christ. He said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45). Jesus also made the curious statement, “and whoever wants to be first must be your slave” (Matthew 20:27). These declarations were made by

www.bocaratontribune.com

the One of whom the Bible says, “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2). That, without question, is the epitome of servant leadership. That is not all the Bible says about how are we as leaders to serve others. The leader who puts the needs and interests of others first will inspire followers to give their best, including their loyalty. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). As Jesus said, it is “more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). One reason is because when we give – putting others first – we also receive. In the workplace, this often means serving others, who in turn are willing to give their best to those for whom they are working.

Values Minus Behavior = Zero

By Robert Weinroth

Are You Counted? The US Census Needs Your Response With much of our daily activities overshadowed by the ever-present coronavirus pandemic, it is easy to understand how the more routine aspects of our lives have felt inconsequential. However, notwithstanding the disruptions we have faced, life does go on. Grappling with the likely longterm impacts of the pandemic will require a collaborative effort between government, business and each of us. Virtually lost in the swirl of the pandemic response has been the decennial US Census. Unless you live under a rock, you know every ten years we undertake an actual county of the number of people residing in the United States. The census is more than just a head count. It provides a snapshot in time (April 1st) of our country’s population and is a determinant of how legislative seats (federal, state and local) are apportioned. The self-response rate for Palm Beach County is currently less than 60 percent. In other words, with an estimated 1.5 million residents living in our county, 600,000 residents have yet to be counted. In the coming months, enumerators will be dispatched to find many of those who have failed to respond. It is clear the damage wrought by the pandemic will require a broad federal response to restore our economy and assist residents address the long-term impacts of the pandemic. The distribution of federal and state dollars will be directly tied to the census figures. An undercount will skew data used to determine how our state allocates representation in the legislature and local governmental bodies and will, likewise, impact how billions of dollars a year are allocated for schools, hospitals and other infrastructure projects. If you are one of the 600,000 residents yet to respond to the US Census, now is the time to be counted. - Respond online at: www.2020USCensus. gov.

- To respond by phone, call 800.330.2020. - To respond by mail, locate the census questionnaire sent to your home. (In midApril, the Census Bureau began mailing paper questionnaires to homes that had not responded online or by phone). Please, help shape our future – each of us counts! This month the state’s primary contests and nonpartisan elections for School Board and judges will be decided on August 18th. While over 500,000 Vote by Mail ballots were already sent (beginning last month) there is still time to request a Vote by Mail ballot to avoid to lines and potential health concerns of in-person voting. Ballots can be requested online at www. PBCElections.org. Here’s a little known fact – while you generally must be a registered Democrat or Republican to vote in the primary (except for the nonpartisan races which are open to any voter), where the candidates are all affiliated with the same party, it becomes an “open” primary and all registered voters can cast a ballot. This will be the case when voters select from the candidates running for PBC Supervisor of Elections since both are registered Democrats. Even if you are a “No Party Affiliated” voter, you can vote! This year, due in large part to the pandemic, many seasoned poll workers have declined to accept an assignment. Many precinct-polling locations have been relocated or merged due to health concerns by the hosting venues. Voting by Mail offers a safe, convenient way to cast your ballot. And, this year, postage to return your ballot is being paid by the county so there’s no need to locate enough stamps to ensure the proper postage is affixed to the return envelope. As with responding to the US Census, it is imperative for voters to cast their ballots to shape the future of our county. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay involved!

My friend, Roger, recently returned from a six-week Graduate program at a major business college. A comment by one of his professors caused Roger to rethink his personal views on how to shape the culture in his business. A strong believer in having specific, written values for his business, Roger’s thinking began to change after his professor’s comment that “values are not the solution.” This reminded Roger that if values are not lived out, these unpracticed values can potentially damage the business more than not having verbalized values at all. As Roger pondered the simple statement, he realized that values must be translated into behaviors, they are meaningless, not worth the paper on which they are written. Sadly, we see this type of dualistic thinking manifested too much in contemporary society. People boldly profess certain values with their words, but their actions show little evidence that they truly believe the ideals they claim to embrace. A passage in the Bible addresses this: James 2:17 teaches,“faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” This does not necessarily deny the existence of one’s faith – or values. It does say that apart from being lived out and demonstrated by how we conduct ourselves in every area of life, including our work, values we express will have little if any impact in our companies or those with whom we interact every day. Many businesses have written mission or purpose statements, but some companies have also produced values statements that they display in prominent areas and discuss periodically. This serves to remind everyone, from the CEO to part-time workers, of the values that

serve as a foundation for how the organization operates and how each individual is expected to represent it. In the process, this establishes a corporate culture for guiding decisions and behavior. Often we can trace corporate values to practices established from the time the business was created. Such values, however, may change or be lost over time unless leaders affirm them consistently, express them in written form, and then practice them consistently. For followers of Christ, values we embrace and demonstrate should be rooted in the teachings of the Bible. For instance, “in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12). Is this a value that remains in the forefront of everyone’s mind in the company, or is it practiced only when it benefits the company’s goals? Does everyone emphasize honesty and integrity in all business dealings, even when doing so could jeopardize closing a sale or finalizing a deal? Here is an example of what the Scriptures say about that: “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful” (Proverbs 12:22). We must remember the adage, “talk is cheap.” What enables us to stand out as genuine, fruitful ambassadors of Jesus Christ is living and conducting business in a manner consistent with what we claim to believe. A familiar motto warns us, “Unless you talk lines up with your walk, the less said the better.” As Roger learned, values are important in business, but not nearly as important as encouraging – and teaching – your team to behave according to those values.

FAU Announces Laptop Loaner Program for First-Gen, Low Income Students When Florida Atlantic University transitioned to remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FAU Libraries partnered with FAU’s Office of Financial Aid to assist students in need of access to educational materials and did not have a capable laptop. The FAU Libraries repurposed 100 laptops for long-term loan to students, enabling them to continue with their college education without missing a beat. “Meeting the needs of FAU’s students has always been our top priority and the long-term loan of laptops during the pandemic is just one more example of our continually evolving services to students,” said Carol Hixson, dean of the FAU Libraries. FAU’s Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management recently received a grant of $45,000

from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation to purchase 75 additional laptops. The Johnson Scholarship Foundation awarded the grant as a COVID-19 relief initiative for firstgeneration, low-income students at FAU. “I was able to successfully take all my online exams that required specific proctoredsoftware programs thanks to the laptop loaner program, and it made such a difference for me,” said Jorge Rodriguez, FAU student. The laptop loan period is for a full semester and students can request an extension if needed. “I greatly appreciate the support from FAU to allow students like me with less means to have access to the tools needed during the pandemic to continue my journey of success,” said Ondre Reid, FAU student.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Becomes The First to Recieve Stroke Center Certification in Palm Beach County By: Destiny Harris

Boca Raton Regional is the first hospital in Palm Beach County to receive certification from DNV GL Healthcare, a nationally recognized certifying organization. This certification allows Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Marcus Neuroscience Institute (MNI) to satisfy the requirements of providing treatment for all stroke patients. The DNV GL Healthcare Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification is built on standards made by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association. According to Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s (BRRH) website, the certification confirms that the hospital evaluates outcomes with accurate metrics. In addition, the medical center is equipped to cover all aspects of stroke care from diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and education. Their services include surgical clipping of brain aneurysms, mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), endovascular embolization, and tPA administration.

www.bocaratontribune.com

This level of certification shows that the effort to make BRRH a worldclass hospital is slowly paying off. A statement posted on the BRRH’s website by MD, Director of Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery, Brian Snelling reads as follows, “Our hospital continues to serve as a leader in providing the highest quality of care to stroke patients in the region and this certification is further recognition of our exceptional reputation.” The certification combined with their Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center that was established in July 2019 through The Joint Commission makes the hospital one of only two in Palm Beach County that can offer a spectrum of services for patients with complex needs. The fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. are ischemic strokes caused by a clot that cuts off blood flow to a part of the brain. With the right treatment from hospitals like BRRH patients can get the care they need in time. Baptist Health’s southern neuroscience program, Miami Neuroscience Institute, in conjunction with Baptist Hospital, is a Joint Commission Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center.

Palm Beach Atlantic Prepares to Welcome New Students Palm Beach Atlantic’s Student Development team has reimagined Welcome Week to create a safe, meaningful experience for incoming students. Students will move in to their residence halls by appointment in the three days leading up to Welcome Week. Each residence hall will have its own Sailfish Start check-in, and students will find t-shirts and goody bags waiting for them in their rooms. Light nightly programming will help students settle in to their new home as their hallmates move in. “We want to make sure they’re set up for success and plugged in at PBA,” said Natalie Johnson, Student Activities, Involvement and Leadership director. Welcome Week is Aug. 13-16. All activities will follow CDC and Sailfish Safe guidelines, including masks and social distancing, Johnson said. Students will participate in Welcome Week within their Fish groups: small groups of first-year students led by upperclassmen buddies. The incoming class will be divided into 70 Fish groups of no more than 10 people, Johnson said. The intimate groups foster authentic connections, she said. “That really is the best way for new students to engage in a small group,” Johnson said. Opening festivities will be

broadcast to multiple classrooms, where students will watch with their groups. The Spirit Week challenge – in which groups compete in fun activities to earn the most points – will continue in a physically-distant way, Johnson said. Activities include a TikTok challenge and “Ready, Set, Sail,” an Amazing Race-style scavenger hunt across campus. Staff coordinated the scavenger hunt in such a way that student groups will not cross paths, Johnson said. Upon arrival, as is tradition, each student will sign a Class of 2024 banner furnished by Alumni Relations. Students will pose for a photo with the banner with their Fish groups, and the photos will be turned into a collage. Students also will participate in Workship, the University’s long-standing community service program, by making blankets for a nearby senior-living community. A First Year Experience class via Zoom will help students adjust to collegiate life. Students will hear from AnnMarie Taylor, chief of Campus Safety & Security; Dr. Bob Lutz, vice president for Student Development and Kara Wenger, director of Residence Life & Student Accountability. A virtual panel will coach parents on what to expect when the semester begins.

FAU Secures Partnership With Veterans Florida Entrepreneurship Program

Florida Atlantic University’s Adams Center for Entrepreneurship, in the College of Business, has been awarded a partnership with the Veterans Florida Entrepreneurship Program (VFEP) for the sixth consecutive year. The Adams Center will receive funding from VFEP, which offers qualified veterans the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive entrepreneurship/business education and mentorship program through the center. “Being involved with the program since its inception in 2015, I’ve witnessed firsthand how it has evolved and expanded every year, and how it genuinely helps veterans start or grow successful businesses,” said Kevin Cox, Ph.D., assistant director of the Adams Center and the lead instructor for the program. “I look forward to another successful year.” Additionally, for the first time, FAU’s entry in the Veterans Florida statewide virtual pitch competition won first place. FAU alumnus Steven Edwards founded Premier Virtual, a company that created a software platform designed to facilitate hiring. He secured $3,000 through his win. “His example tells a positive message for veterans throughout the state of Florida and shows the great work being accomplished with our partners at Florida Atlantic University,” said Joe Marino, executive director of Veterans Florida. Edwards explained that the competition showed him a different way to look at

and grow his business. “Seeing that other people saw in my organization what I saw, was a great feeling,” he said. Earlier in the year, veterans competed in a local business pitch competition. In addition to Edwards, winners of that competition were Max Burwick, whose company, BizPsych, developed a machine-learning tool, and Arthur Freemon, who started SOF Designs, a company that created a pillow for sleep apnea patients and the general public. Edwards, Burwick and Freemon each won $1,000 to support their ventures. FAU has been recognized as one of the top programs for entrepreneurship studies, according to the latest rankings from The Princeton Review/Entrepreneur Magazine. FAU ranked No. 39 among undergraduate programs in the 14th annual survey. Named in recognition of FAU alumnus Scott H. Adams in 2001, the Adams Center for Entrepreneurship prepares students and entrepreneurs in all disciplines who are looking to become successful business owners. Veterans Florida is a nonprofit created by the State of Florida to help military veterans transition to civilian life and to promote Florida’s status as the nation’s most veteran-friendly state. Veterans Florida provides powerful tools for veterans to take advantage of the benefits of living and working in the Sunshine State.

sports Essential Owls: Kevin Alexander

"Essential Owls" is a series of features highlighting former FAU student-athletes who are working in a host of professions attempting to stem the impact of the COVID-19 virus.

The next subject of our series, “Essential Owls,” is focused on former women’s basketball player Chantale Jones, who has worked for the Florida High Patrol for 16 years. Jones knew she wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement since her sophomore year of college at Florida Atlantic University. Jones has worked for the Florida Highway Patrol for 16 years, but her previous years of service don’t quite match up to 2020. Priorities have slightly changed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now when Jones is on duty, primarily in Broward County off I-595, she is masked up, gloves are strapped on and hand sanitizer is located in a convenient place in her car. All of this is done in the Florida summer heat in order to ensure the safety of the community. Prior to her time in uniform, Jones was a four-year member of the women’s basketball team. A point guard from Miramar, Florida, Jones suited up from 1998 to 2002, and during her senior year, she averaged 10.1 points per game and 4.3 assists per game, as well as totaling 75 steals.Chantale Jones is one of two seniors returning from last years team. A year after graduating from FAU, Jones took a year off before following the career path she had in mind since her sophomore year. Jones’ professor in her criminology class was an ex-DEA agent and while she knew she wanted to go down that path, she did not want all of the travel. Just as she decided to stay close to home to pursue her collegiate basketball career and education, Jones happily chose to join the Florida Highway Patrol after completion of Police Academy. During this unprecedented time, our world has relied on our front line workers more than ever before. Jones is certainly one of those. Although her hours are the same as before the pandemic hit, Jones feels as if she is working more, as the work is a little tougher now. “Thank goodness there weren’t as many people on the roadways at the start of the pandemic because if that wasn’t the case, we probably would have had some serious issues,” said Jones. “Now [with more people on the road], we are able to

cut down on speeders and there are less crashes.” With the pandemic, a lot of tent camps have relocated closer to the highway, which is presenting another challenge for Jones and her crew to ensure pedestrians aren’t walking along the highways. “Our main concern is to keep people from walking from place to place on the highway or walking across it to get to where they need to go,” said Jones. “That is where our priority is at with the pandemic, (along with) working crashes and enforcing traffic laws.” The Florida Highway Patrol has always worked toward promoting the safety of the community. Although that has continued to be the top focus, the way in which they tend to the community has altered because of the pandemic. Jones has worked some of the testing sites with the main job being to keep traffic flowing and ensure a smooth experience for all patrons hoping to get tested. While working these testing sites, Jones did more than monitor traffic. Jones and the Florida Highway Patrol handed out water to people and ensured they did everything they could to promote a positive, smooth experience. “I think it is drawing more (people) to appreciate the job we do,” said Jones. “We are showing them that we do more than just enforce traffic laws. We shared with them more of the community helping, and things of that nature.” Now with the re-opening of South Florida in one phase or another, things are feeling more like pre-pandemic times on the roads. “The highways are becoming packed again, meaning we are having more crashes,” said Jones “Work is just about the same, but it is going back to normal before the pandemic.” Jones loves South Florida and working for her hometown. Although it is hard sometimes to see the positives with our world being put on hold, Jones and her crew have learned a number of lessons from working on the frontlines during this pandemic, to further strengthen the community she loves so much.

FAU Men’s Golf Zagerman Earns All-America Scholar Award Florida Atlantic University men’s golfer Sully Zagerman has earned the 2019-20 Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar award, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced Wednesday. To qualify for the award, Zagerman needed to post a sub-76 scoring average and play in at least 40 percent of his team’s competitive rounds while maintaining a 3.2 GPA or higher. Whether he was on or off the course in 2019-20, Zagerman excelled. This past season he notched two top-20 finishes, including one top-10 performance, and had a 73.43 stroke average. His eight par-or-better rounds and 4.1464 Par-4 scoring average were both second best on the team. “Sully has been the prototypical student-athlete during his time at FAU,” FAU coach Ryan Jamison said.

Zagerman has been a standout student since joining the Owls. In 2018-19 he earned Conference USA All-Academic Team honors and a spot on the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll. As a freshman and sophomore Zagerman made the Dean’s List, and in the latter year he added President’s List honors. While Zagerman played his senior season in 201920, he will return to action as a graduate student in 2020-21. The NCAA awarded Zagerman another year of eligibility because COVID-19 cut his 2020 spring season short. “We are very excited to have him for one more year as he is a huge asset to our team,” Jamison said. “We all commend him for his hard work and look forward to taking it to the next level this year as he starts his graduate degree in business school.”
