COMMUNITY Hearing on decision to fire Delray city manager moved to Nov. 20 Dale King Suspended Delray Beach City Manager George Gretsas has retained new counsel, forcing a postponement of about a month for the hearing at which he will present his side of the case. The City Commission is seeking to fire him. A 38-page report prepared by the city’s internal auditor, Julia Davidyan, alleges that Gretsas, who had worked for the city barely six months when he was suspended on June 24, purportedly violated statutes and local policies in the course of performing his work for the city. The hearing, which will be conducted in the manner of a trial, was originally scheduled for Oct. 23. City spokesman Gina Carter said in a recent email: “The morning of Oct. 21, the city attorney was notified that Mr. Gretsas had retained new counsel. At that time, they also requested the hearing be postponed. The afternoon of the 21,[City] Commission held a special meeting and voted to set the new date of Nov. 20. As of the end of business Oct. 23,

Mr. Gretsas’s status was changed to suspended without pay.” Prior to Oct. 23, Gretsas had been receiving his annual salary of $265,000, along with a fringe-benefit package worth more than $50,000. The latest set of charges against Gretsas differ from those that resulted in his suspension at a special City Commission meeting June 24. During the June session, it was alleged that

he had bullied and harassed several city employees, including then-Assistant City Manager Suzanne Fisher, resulting in her going on medical leave May 15. She has since resigned. Exactly two months later, at a meeting of city commissioners Aug. 24, they voted 5-0 that Gretsas allegedly engaged in “instances of misconduct” that warranted his firing. But in the process, the five city leaders decided not to include the charges of “bullying and retaliation” that were brought against him at the June 24 meeting. The charges from the August meeting were from the Davidyan report, and included a claim that Gregsas had a server installed in his office that was not part of the city’s computer system and could not print out files such as those that might be required to meet the filing of an FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request. The internal auditor’s report also said that Gretsas had hired two workers that he

knew from his previous job as city manager in Homestead. The report also said he paid those employees wages higher than those set by Delray municipal standards. Following the Nov. 20 hearing, commissioners can either fire Gretsas, with or without cause, or reinstate him. Another option is to direct the city’s staff to negotiate a severance agreement. The wording of Gretsas’ contract with the city required him to have two hearings before ruling on the accusations against him – each hearing at least 60 days apart. One was needed to outline the accusations; the second, to hear Gretsas’ side of the case. In documents previously sent to city officials, the suspended city manager said he has done nothing wrong but is being punished for pointing out alleged problems with the city’s water supply. Gretsas was hired as city manager in January 2020 to replace Mark Lauzier, who was fired on March 19, 2019. An interim city manager was appointed to fill in during the period city officials were searching for a replacement.

Palm Beach County Begins School Security Protocol to Protect Students and Staff in Emergency Situations This announcement came Friday during a news conference led by School Police Chief Frank Kitzerow, noting this is the “first of its kind” in Florida. This Agreement is proposed as a way to protect both students and staff during any potential active school shooter situation. “It will undoubtedly save lives,” Kitzerow said. “It minimizes risk and maximizes safety for everyone involved, especially our first responders.” Kitzerow continued explaining the preassigned responsibilities for each team will limit the amount of “chaos” during these events.

“We work ahead of time to mitigate those things so that we are spending out time more efficiently, more accurately, and directing our attention where it needs to go,” Kitzerow said. WFLX reports that all 179 schools within Palm Beach County’s School District will now have one school police officer there. “This is very important because, prior to this year, we needed the assistance of all the chiefs of police, their teams, the sheriff ’s office,” Superintendent Dr. Donald Fennoy noted to WFLX. “Everyone pitched in to make sure every school in Palm Beach County was covered.”

FAU budget cuts Near fatal amid pandemic accident today in Boca!! Boca Raton Tribune

The Board of Governors asked Florida state colleges to spend 8.5% less during the 2021 fiscal year, and that puts FAU 18.1 million dollars behind what they would normally spend. Although FAU has had to make budget cuts in the athletic department, they have not had to eliminate any degree programs altogether, unlike the University of South Florida. Instead FAU will actually be offering new degree programs, such as a new BS in medical biology. Local professor Christopher Robé told CBS12 that further cuts, similar to the ones that the University of Florida is making, which include a hiring freeze, would make the mission of finding and meeting students’ needs more difficult. “The impact on students concerns us as much as ourselves. We’re already kind of understaffed as it is”, Robé says. Colleges across the country are going through similar financial strain due to revenue reductions during COVID-19.

Their platform was blown precariously to almost a right angle to the hi-rise building until they were able to get it under control. Photo by Tom Madden, who resides on the eighth floor there. Madden called it a close call which thankfully ended okay. Madden offered to throw them a rope, but they thought they could bring their conveyance under control.

Dale King Officials from the university’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters announced this week that it has received a multi-million-dollar gift from Arthur Gutterman to name the on-campus Holocaust Center the Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education. The center prepares K-12 educators and support staff in Southeastern Florida to implement the Florida statute that requires instruction of the Holocaust by providing learning opportunities, resources and curriculum support. “I am constantly amazed at the passion of these deserving teachers and what they give their students every day through their work,” said Gutterman. “I am happy to do my part to help continue the vital work of FAU’s Center that benefits teachers and students today and now, for generations to come.” The gift will allow for: •Current and future K-12 teacher training and professional development, including curriculum advancement, seminars and teacher travel to Israel and Eastern Europe to visit museums and sites of the Holocaust, including concentration camps. •Enhanced collaborations with Hebrew University and other academic and/ or research institutions based in Israel. •Lectures and guest speakers, and community outreach programs. •Student international study and intern abroad opportunities. “We are so grateful to Arthur and his family for this impactful gift that will ensure that the work of the center continues into perpetuity,” said Michael Horswell, Ph.D., dean of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “Now more than ever, our students need to learn the facts of history so atrocities like the Holocaust are never repeated. Arthur’s continued generosity also inspires others to contribute to this mission that affords our region’s teachers the special preparation they need to teach these challenging topics at all levels of our school system.” Arthur Gutterman is the retired former president of Jelmar, LLC, a Chicago company that produces household cleaning products. During the early 1980s, Gutterman and his brother, along with a business partner, developed the product CLR (Calcium, Lime and Rust) as a complement to Tarn-X. CLR grew into the company’s second nationally recognized cleaning product (after Tarn-X) and extended the company’s reach into Canadian and Australian markets.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Gutterman is an active member of the Board of Directors of American Friends of the Hebrew University, Inc. He first became involved with the Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education at FAU in 2008 when his late wife, Emalie, read a story in the local paper about the possible closing of the center. Gutterman made an initial gift of $10,000 and, over the years, has significantly increased his philanthropic support and personal engagement with the center. His generosity helped establish multiyear financial stability while engaging other donors and strategies to bring visibility to the center. He also established the Gutterman Family Exemplary Holocaust Educator Award, an annual competition for K-12 teachers. Each year, three to four winning teachers receive a three-week, fully paid professional development field study to visit Holocaust sites in Europe and Israel. This also includes unrestricted operational support to the center, sending K-12 teachers annually to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and funding curriculum development within FAU’s Peace, Justice and Human Rights Initiative. “The magnitude of Arthur Gutterman’s generosity allows us to increase and expand our educational outreach into the local community and reach educators through professional learning, travel opportunities and programming,” said Linda Medvin, director of the Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education. “This transformational and permanent funding will allow us to sustain our mission by using the lessons of the Holocaust to understand the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping into the future. Our motto at the center is that education is our best hope against hatred.” This significant gift also kicks off a $1.5 million mini-campaign to raise annual and endowment gifts that will further propel the impact of the Gutterman Family Center to greater levels of excellence today and for years to come.

Kamala Harris Makes Last-Minute Push in Final Days of Presidential With the pandemic-altered campaign in its closing days, Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris stopped in Lake Worth Beach over the weekend to energize and appeal to voters during the ﬁnal days of early voting. The California senator and former state attorney general did not waste time outlining her intentions at an outdoor drive-in rally on the campus of Palm Beach State College. “We want to make sure everybody votes. We are three days away from directly changing the course of the history of our country,” she told the mask-wearing, socially-distanced, drive-in rally for invited supporters. “There is so much at stake. I don’t have to tell you guys.” Sounding like the prosecutor she used to be, Harris opened her remarks by attacking President Donald Trump’s coronavirus pandemic response. “Over 225,000 Americans, in just the last several months, have died. Many, so sadly, without their family members being present because of the nature of this virus. Over nine million people have contracted this virus with long-term health consequences,” she said. She did not mince words on the president’s

response to the global public health crisis, noting Bob Woodward’s reporting that Trump reportedly knew COVID-19 would be deadlier than the flu before it reached the United States and downplayed the threat. “Palm Beach, it didn’t have to be so bad. It didn’t have to be this way,” Harris told the throng of honking vehicles, which have replaced applause at the drive-in events lately because of the pandemic. “He knew, on Jan. 28, about the seriousness of this virus when he was told it is five times more deadly than the flu. He was told it would impact people of every age, he was told it was airborne and lethal ... and he sat on it. He covered it up. He told the people that it was a hoax.” Harris during her speech also criticized the Trump administration on the economy and unemployment. She presented statistics showing that one in nine families across Florida describe their households as having been hungry, one in seven households are unable to pay their rent and one in four small business are out of businesses or are unlikely to reopen. “You ask Joe Biden, ‘How is the economy doing?’ You know what Joe Biden asks, ‘How are

working people doing? How are working families doing?’” she said. “On the other hand, you got Donald Trump, who when asked about how the economy is doing, ask about ‘How the stock market is doing? Ask about how rich people are doing?’” The half an hour speech was the nightcap of her daylong tour of the Sunshine State just three days before Election Day. Earlier in the day, she campaigned in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. With new polls forecasting a neck-and-neck race for the state’s 29 electoral votes, Harris and several warm-up speakers — including State Senators Lori Berman and Bobby Powell — urged those in the crowd not only to vote early but to also take family, friends, neighbors and others to the polls. The crowd also heard from Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner, Commissioner Mack Bernard and Boynton Beach City Commissioner Christina Romelus. She gave shout-outs to U.S. Reps. Ted Deutsch and Lois Frankel, while onstage. Several Trump supporters, many in pickup

trucks with flags flying, and others waving signs, were confined in parking lots on the outer edges of the campus. The first Black woman on a major party’s presidential ticket, Harris also charged Trump with coddling white supremacists. She encouraged the racially diverse audience to “honor the ancestors” by voting. She invoked the memory of the late civil rights legend, longtime Rep. John Lewis, “who shed his blood on that Edmund Pettus Bridge for the right for us to vote, in particular for black folks to vote.” “John Lewis realized that the fight for people’s right to vote is a civil rights fight, which is why in the course of his life, John Lewis was front and center in the fight for marriage equality, he was front and center in the fight the dreamers because John Lewis realized that all these issues are connected,” she said to honking horns. “Let’s honor the ancestors. Those suffragettes who 100 years ago got us the passage of the 19th Amendment,” she added. “Let’s always speak truth, Black women couldn’t vote until 1965.” C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@Delraybeachtribune.com or 561-665-0151.

Weekly articles by Dr. Synesio Lyra For quite some time now, change has been recognized as a signiﬁcant and necessary part of life. While we acknowledge that much in the world is unchangeable, we must also be aware of what can and must be changed to improve conditions, to accelerate results, to accomplish more than it was possible before. Being up-to-date in most spheres of life beneﬁts the greatest number of people! It is good to be spontaneous but it’s even better, and quite weighty, to be organized and to plan everything well in advance. When that becomes habitual, you will always know if and when any changes may be necessary. Change is a fact of life, and it’s often a most necessary procedure in some circumstances. A few changes may be planned ahead of a situation requiring such alterNovember 6 - November 12, 2020

ation; others have to wait till the last moment, due to unforeseen cconditions or details. There are changes which are inevitable, whether achieved early or late. Some may affect only the one making them, while others will impact several lives, whether for better or for worse. Thus, any potential change needs to be well planned. Thomas Alva Edison in his day, reasoned: “If you are doing anything the way you did twenty years ago, there is a better way.” Change to be signiﬁcant must furnish a better way. Genuine improvement is to be readily noticed, in contrast to what was before! Every plan made requires a broader picture taken into account. Calendars have to be checked, distances from one location to the next have to be measured, time alot-

ted for what is to occur has to be determined, the availability of people involved in a proposed encounter needs to be ascertained, or even a leisure meeting should be realistically considered. Many of the changes people make are external to them; they are effected in order to improve conditions for better productivity or for increased effectiveness, and bring comfort in varied situations. Nevertheless, “outer changes alone cannot make us happy,” as Sir John Marks Templeton reﬂected. For this reason, most importantly, vital changes need to occur within the individual. Often, these are the most necessary and urgent, since it is out of minds and hearts that everything one does originates. These are more difﬁcult as they’re also most neglected. But personal changes are truly es-

sential since “poorly-directed efforts can rob us of vital energy” among many other potential, adverse consequences. Important as change is, it is never ﬁnal, necessarily. Sometimes, sooner than one might expect, one may need to modify a previous change into something better and more effective. This needs to be an individual’s personal decision: Improve your life each new day, change for the better every day. Respond to the promptings of God to take new, constructive steps forward in continual self-betterment. Changed lives require constant renewal! Change, just for the sake of change, will miss the mark; it falls short of what it can genuinely provide and promote, namely, to advance self while impacting one’s milieu and, most of all, doing all things with excellence to glorify the Creator!

Don’t be a Turkey Recycle Used Cooking Oil SWA’s November Household Hazardous Waste Tip Fried turkeys are a Thanksgiving treat, but that used cooking oil? Not so much. All home cooking oils - frying oil and bacon and hamburger drippings - can cause problems with plumbing, sewage collection systems and septic systems. If dumped down any drain, these oils can clog pipes, even if washed down with hot water. Blocked pipes can also cause sewage backups – an unappetizing thought and potentially expensive repair. Fortunately, Palm Beach County residents can recycle their used cooking oil for FREE, including canola, corn, olive, peanut and vegetable oils, as well as lard. To recycle your oil - Allow the used cooking oil to cool. - Carefully pour the cooled cooking oil into a large, sturdy plastic or wax-coated leak-proof container no larger than 5 gallons, such as the original container or a juice carton. - Cap the container securely. - Don’t mix the used cooking oil with any other liquids or products. - Take to any of the SWA’s seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers [swa.org]. The SWA’s locations include (from north county to south county): 1. Jupiter - No County Transfer Station 14185 Milatary Trail (SWA Rd) Monday - Friday: 7 a. m. - 5 p. m. & Saturday: 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. 2. West Palm Beach - Home Chemical and Recycling Center 6161 N.

FAITH CAN FORM A SAFEGUARD AGAINST FEAR Some friends of ours were in the midst of a fierce struggle to keep the doors of their business open. Their problems were serious enough that they were considering bankruptcy. After seeking counsel from various sources and weighing their options, they prayerfully chose instead to push forward. Just as they were beginning to experience a measure of business success, consequences of the coronavirus pandemic devastated their industry and brought some future opportunities to an abrupt, unexpected end. Fear and panic overwhelmed them. Their training and experience had not prepared them for this new obstacle. Maybe you or your organization have confronted similar challenges. For most of us, worldwide shutdowns and restrictions have inflicted hardships unlike we have ever known before. When 2020 began, who could have imagined how the year would unfold? Even in normal times, without the impact of an unprecedented global pandemic, many small business owners live on the edge with very little margin. This is especially true for enterprises still in a startup stage. Profits might come in the future, but in the beginning, operations are strictly day-to-day. So when crises surface, it is easy – and not unusual – for leaders to become paralyzed with fear. Questions most of us ask at such times include, “What do we do now? Is there anything we can do?” Faced with such gloomy circumstances, it can be very difficult to remain grounded in faith, continuing to trust that despite the adversity, God has a plan. Has He abandoned us? It is at times like these that the genuineness of our faith is revealed. And there is no greater source of hope than to turn to the promises in the Scriptures. The apostle Peter was not writing about a pandemic, but offered these assurances to followers of Jesus Christ going through many

adversities: “In this you greatly rejoice, though not for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may be proved genuine…” (1 Peter 1:6-7). Then he wrote, “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed” (1 Peter 4:12-13). The life of faith – including everyday pursuits in the business and professional world – is one of trusting in God, His direction and provision, even when common sense seems to say otherwise. Fear of the future, we are told, should be replaced with a healthy fear – the reverent awe of God, who ordained work and desires for us to serve as His ambassadors in the marketplace. As Proverbs 19:23 teaches us, “The fear of the Lord leads to life, so that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.” When disaster looms, one fear – fear of God – is worth embracing. Many times throughout my career, submitting to God has brought me peace rather than panic. Because we have His assurance, “Call on Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3). Finding ourselves at a loss for answers, having to trust in God alone, can be the very best place to be. © 2020, Unconventional Business Network Adapted with permission from “Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx,” a commentary on issues of integrity in the workplace from a Christian perspective.

Why so many clichés swarming over tv? If a cliché is an expression used so much its become trite or irritating, why do so many TV commentators still use them over and over? Unabashedly. I guess thinking they’re clever. Or cute. Ugh! Lately, CNBC takes the cliché crown. It’s almost becoming a cliché hangout. Yes, it seems clichés are “the order of the day” on these Breaking News days. This past week, to make a banal point about some company, anchor Carl Quintanilla dredged up that tired old canary, the one croaking in the coalmine. Please Carl, can you release that canary from your whole mind? On the very same day from different commentators came these not very original phrases “past is prologue;” “the devil’s in the details” and “tilting at windmills.” Ugh! Can we leave that last one for Don Quixote? No, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, nor does time heal all wounds, so why on earth do we still say such things?

www.bocaratontribune.com

Now let’s look at the biggest cliché of them all heard every day, every few minutes “’round the clock” on CNN and on other television news networks ad nauseam . . . BREAKING NEWS! It could be the exact same news reported only a few minutes ago, but it’s still BREAKING. And it will keep BREAKING again and again. The same news. Hey, here’s a thought. Why not come up with something more original than Breaking News? Earthquakes make news. How about Newsquakes? No, that’s silly. How about ERUPTING NEWS! No! Major News? That’s better. SUDDEN MAJOR NEWS! Even better! Anything’s better than BREAKING NEWS, which for news junkies like myself is starting to become ACHING NEWS. How about SPECIAL REPORT! THIS JUST IN!

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. America’s best-selling sexual performance enhancer just got a lot better. It’s the latest breakthrough for nitric oxide – the molecule that makes E.D. woes fade and restores virility when it counts the most. Nitric oxide won the Nobel Prize in 1998. It’s why “the little blue pill” works. More than 200,000 studies confirm it’s the key to superior sexual performance. And this new discovery increases nitric oxide availability resulting in even quicker, stronger and longer-lasting performance. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study (the “gold-standard” of research) involved a group of 70-year-old-men. They didn’t exercise. They didn’t eat healthy. And researchers reported their “nitric oxide availability was almost totally compromised,” resulting in blood flow less than HALF of a man in peak sexual health. But only five minutes after the first dose their blood flow increased 275%, back to levels of a perfectly healthy 31-year-old man! “It’s amazing,” remarks nitric oxide expert Dr. Al Sears. “That’s like giving 70-year-old men the sexual power of 30-year-olds.”

WHY SO MUCH EXCITEMENT? Despite the billions men spend annually on older nitric oxide therapies, there’s one wellknown problem with them. They don’t always work. A very distinguished and awarded doctor practicing at a prestigious Massachusetts hospital who has studied Nitric Oxide for over 43 years states a “deficiency of bioactive nitric oxide… leads to impaired endotheliumdependent vasorelaxation.” In plain English, these older products may increase levels of nitric oxide. But that’s only half the battle. If it’s not bioactively available then your body can’t absorb it to produce an erection. Experts simply call it the nitric oxide “glitch.” And until now, there’s never been a solution.

NEXT GENERATION NITRIC OXIDE FORMULA FLYING OFF SHELVES Upon further research, America’s No. 1 men’s health expert Dr. Al Sears discovered certain nutrients fix this “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow.

He’s combined those nutrients with proven nitric oxide boosters in a new formula called Primal Max Red. In clinical trials, 5,000 mg is required for satisfying sexual performance. Primal Max Red contains a bigger, 9,000 mg per serving dose. It’s become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock. Dr. Sears is the author of more than 500 scientific papers. Thousands of people listened to him speak at the recent Palm Beach Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath recently visited his clinic, the Sears Institute for AntiAging Medicine. Primal Max Red has only been available for a few months — but everyone who takes it reports a big difference. “I have the energy to have sex three times in one day, WOW! That has not happened in years. Oh, by the way I am 62,” says Jonathan K. from Birmingham, AL.

A new discovery that increases nitric oxide availability was recently proven in a clinical trial to boost blood flow 275%

these increased levels lasted up to 12 hours. “I measured my nitric oxide levels, you can buy a test kit from Amazon,” reports 48-yearold Jeff O. “Monday night I showed depleted.” Then he used ingredients in Primal Max Red and, “The results were off the charts. I first woke around 3 a.m. on Tuesday very excited. My nitric oxide levels measured at the top end of the range.”

HOW IT WORKS

FREE BONUS TESTOSTERONE BOOSTER

Loss of erection power starts with your blood vessels. Specifically, the inside layer called the endothelium where nitric oxide is made.

Every order also gets Dr. Sears testosterone boosting formula Primal Max Black for free.

The problem is various factors THICKEN your blood vessels as you age. This blocks availability causing the nitric oxide “glitch.” The result is difficulty in getting and sustaining a healthy erection. How bad is the problem? Researcher shows the typical 40-year-old man absorbs 50% less nitric oxide. At 50, that drops to 25%. And once you pass 60 just a measly 15% gets through. To make matters worse, nitric oxide levels start declining in your 30’s. And by 70, nitric oxide production is down an alarming 75%. Primal Max Red is the first formula to tackle both problems. Combining powerful nitric oxide boosters and a proven delivery mechanism that defeats the nitric oxide “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow. There’s not enough space here to fully explain how it works, so Dr. Sears will send anyone who orders Primal Max Red a free special report that explains everything.

MORE CLINICAL RESULTS Nutrients in Primal Max Red have logged impressive results. In a Journal of Applied Physiology study, one resulted in a 30 times MORE nitric oxide. And

“If you want passionate ‘rip your clothes off’ sex you had in your younger days, you need nitric oxide to get your erection going. And testosterone for energy and drive,” says Dr. Sears. “You get both with Primal Max Red and Primal Max Black.”

HOW TO GET PRIMAL MAX To secure free bottles of Primal Max Black and get the hot, new Primal Max Red formula, buyers should contact the Sears Health Hotline at 1-800-609-6260 within the next 48 hours. “It’s not available in drug stores yet,” says Dr. Sears. “The Hotline allows us to ship directly to the customer.” Dr. Sears feels so strongly about Primal Max, all orders are backed by a 100% moneyback guarantee. “Just send me back the bottle and any unused product within 90 days from purchase date, and I’ll send you all your money back,” he says.

School Board of Palm Beach County Reverses Boca Raton School Board of Palm Beach County Reverses Boca Raton Principal’s Rehiring Monday, The School Board of Palm Beach County reversed its decision to rehire Spanish River Community High School’s Principal, William Latson, following controversial Holocaust statements. Latson, in an email, stated he could not confirm or deny that the Holocaust happened. Previously, the school board voted 4-3 to rehire Latson within the school district, but voted 7-0 on Monday to rescind this decision. “Latson will return to suspended without pay status pending final action of the school board on Nov. 10,” a school district spokeswoman noted to WPTV. “That’s when a modified order by the board to terminate Latson will be entered.” Latson published an apology video where he formally announced that he is not a Holocaust denier as he did not have an opportunity to do so at the meeting. “When I wrote to a parent in 2018 that as a school district employee I could not state that the Holocaust was a historical fact, I was wrong,” Latson stated. “I apologize to the Palm Beach County community, the school board and school administrators, the teachers of Palm Beach County, the parents, the students, the Jewish com-

munity and everyone offended by my mistake. I am not a Holocaust denier.” Monday, The School Board of Palm Beach County reversed its decision to rehire Spanish River Community High School’s Principal, William Latson, following controversial Holocaust statements.

Boca Raton Resort Oﬀers New Edu-cation Spaces for Children

Have a positive theme around which your life revolves!

Boca Raton Tribune The newly unveiled zones include, the Tutor Zone, the Heads Down Zone, the Lounge Zone, the Invisible Zone, and the Rocker Zone. The Oceanside Education package comes equipped with a creative spin on classic school lunches, with an offer for parents to stock their room with snacks prior to their arrival. “With the launch of Oceanside Education, our goal is to provide a learning experience that’s enjoyable for kids and as easy as possible for parents so they can relax knowing their children are safe and productive in an enriching environment,” noted Christophe Baraton, General Manager of Boca Beach Club. The Tutor Zone is an area “created for collaboration” with access to power outlets for computers and table heights accessible to children and parents alike. The Heads Down Zone is “an area dedicated to productivity” including Bluetooth speaker, power outlets and whiteboards. The Lounge Zone is a relaxation room that includes a television that can be used as a monitor for gaming and a couch. The Invisible Zone is dedicated to yoga, stretching, and breathing breaks The Rocker Zone is a space equipped with a rocking chair for more winding down time. Extracurricular activities are also in-

Boca Raton Tribune

cluded in this package with oceanside breaks, athletic/movement activities, and nature excursions/ﬁeld trips as options. Notably, Boca Resort works in collaboration with Lysol and Dettol to uphold rigorous cleaning standards due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More information about the cleaning procedures and the Hilton CleanStay program can be found here. “With this new normal, children and families are spending most of their days indoors, something we are not used to doing,” Baraton’s team said. “The Oceanside Edu-cation program offers families the best of both worlds. A vacation at the Bo-

ca Resort while continuing their education, and the opportunity to enjoy enriching extracurriculars that they’re usually unable to participate in during a regular school year.” The Oceanside Edu-cation Suite is offered as an optional add-on to at least a two-night stay at the Boca Beach Club with other activities available for additional purchase with the Edu-cation Concierge. “We created the Oceanside Edu-cation program to allow families to enjoy a vacation without sacriﬁcing their children’s distance learning plans,” concluded Baraton’s team. “Parents can relax knowing their children are learning in a safe and enriching environment.”

SPORTS Boca Lago gets $11M revamp; expands golf to non-club residents Dale King To mark the completion of an $11 million transformation, the privately-owned Boca Lago Country Club has been renamed, reinvented, rebranded and repriced for mid-market players. Now known as Boca Lago Golf & Country Club, its individual, family and corporate members can enjoy a new system of golﬁng without the hefty initiation fees, monthly dues and assessments traditionally associated with resort and gated community equity clubs. To increase access to a private country club lifestyle, BLG&CC membership no longer requires a home purchase. “Before COVID-19, the golf and club in-

dustries were experiencing declines, with some forced to close for redevelopment because equity club initiation fees were so prohibitive and there was little or no control over pricey member assessments for facility renovations,” said BLG&CC Managing Director of Membership & Golf Operations John Stampﬂ. “Our new ownership was driven to reverse that trend to better serve the needs, desires and economic realities of today’s individuals, couples, families and businesses who thought club membership may be something totally ‘out of their reach.’” “Fully transitioning to a non-equity model last year and the COVID situation this year only validated the strength of that vision and

mission,” he noted. Stampﬂ also reported that club members say they feel safer in a private club setting, more so than open-to-the-public restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. They prefer socializing with those they know who strictly adhere to CDC, state and county guidelines. Set amid 225 acres of vibrant greens, including 50 acres of shimmering lakes, 21 lush natural Florida preserve habitats, and playful wildlife in the heart of Boca Raton, BLG&CC features: •A monthly calendar of members-only dining, activities, events, socials, tournaments and networking opportunities. •A 58,800-square-foot clubhouse which

recently underwent a $3 million redesign, with $2 million more in amenity upgrades in progress. •Various indoor and outdoor entertainment venues. •An extensive outdoor deck. •Resort-style swimming pool and jacuzzi. •State-of-the-art ﬁtness center with personal trainers, various exercise and meditation classes. •One of the largest tennis facilities in Palm Beach County. Boca Lago Golf & Country Club is located at 8665 Juego Way, Boca Raton. For information, visit www.bocalago.com or John. Stampﬂ@bocalago.com.

Local Palm Beach County Resident And Golf Hall Of Fame Player Local Palm Beach County Resident And Golf Hall Of Fame Player, Ernie Els Takes On Boca Raton From Oct. 26 through Nov. 1st the PGA Tour, TimberTech Championship is held right here in Boca Raton, Fl., starring Hall of Famer

and local Jupiter resident, Ernie Els. As a four-time Major winner, Els is eager and as driven as a golf club, to be competing this week, especially so close to home. “Boca is kind of a home game for me. That doesn’t happen often, so I’ll enjoy it. I’m sure it

will be a great week. Hats off to the guys at the Tour. They’ve done an incredible job with the revised schedule in extremely challenging situations,” Els said to Palm Beach Post Reporter Craig Dolch. Els is still ﬁnding his way on the course as a rookie, yet his accomplishments speak for themselves. Having won the SAS Championship this past August and achieving a solo third at the PURE Insurance Championship, those are just two of his growing accomplishments. With nine top 10 ﬁnishes and two wins out of his 11 starts, Els is dipping his feet into the reality of this competition. “‘I’m a pure rookie, green as they come,” Els said the week of the SAS, where he posted his second victory,’” Bob McClellan of PGA Tour, said. Els mentioned the competition and how he felt he could just run through a couple of matches among the other competitors. Another rookie, Jim Furyk and a couple of others such as another Jupiter resident, Mark Calcavecchia and

www.bocaratontribune.com

Delray Beach resident, Jeff Sluman. “I’ll tell you this, I think the competition is more than I realized,” Els said. “I thought, eh, come in and push these guys around. These guys are … they’re shooting under par. If the conditions are right, you’d better be on your game to compete with these guys. That’s what I found,” Els said to PGA Reporter, McClellan. Word on the course is that Els is a competitive player and had the potential of being in the playoff at the PURE Insurance competition had he not missed a three-footer at his 54th hole-his ﬁnal-round score over the last six events averaged to be 66.83. “I’ve had a pretty nice go so far, I’ve had one win (now two) and quite a few close calls, but to get it pushed over the line you have to be really on your game; short game, every aspect of your game’s got to be on,” Els said to PGA Reporter. The TimberTech competition is being held, for its 14th consecutive year, at The Old Course at Broken Sounds.
