Finfrock gift creates scholarship for Boys & Girls Club teens to attend PBSC Palm Beach State College has received a $20,000 donation from philanthropist Laura Finfrock to launch a scholarship for Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County members at the Smith & Moore Family Teen Center in Belle Glade.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County-Belle Glade Teen Center Scholarship Fund will cover up to $1,500 per year for recipients to pursue an associate degree or career certificate at PBSC. By reaching youth early and supporting their college education, Finfrock aims to help develop a pipeline of qualified employees in the Glades, which has seen some of the highest unemployment rates in the county.

“To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we need to invest in our kids today,” said Finfrock. “I’m very impressed with the opportunities and technology available at the Smith & Moore Family Teen Center in Belle Glade. The obvious next step for the Club members is a scholarship program that creates a pathway to succeed. This investment can also ensure businesses in the Glades will have qualified employees in the near future.”

Finfrock was introduced to the needs in the Glades region when the family business, FINFROCK, announced plans to expand operations into Palm Beach County. FINFROCK is Central Florida’s largest commercial contractor and one of the area’s largest employers. Early last year, the company purchased 100 acres in Belle Glade to house precast concrete manufacturing facilities totaling over 140,000 square feet. The plant will allow FINFROCK

February 4 - February 10, 2022

to bring over 200 much-needed higher-wage jobs to the Belle Glade area and better serve commercial developers in Palm Beach, MiamiDade and Broward counties and in Southwest Florida.

The scholarship is only available to active members of the Smith & Moore Family Teen Center who have been a member of a Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County for at least two consecutive years and have completed 20 volunteer hours at the Club.

Scholarship eligibility includes a current GPA of 2.0 or higher and submission of a 250-word essay describing how the scholarship will benefit the applicant’s educational journey. Scholarship recipients can attend any PBSC campus. Priority will be given to students studying science, technology, engineering and math as well as industry, manufacturing, construction and transportation.

“This is an incredible opportunity for our Teen Center members. It builds on our career readiness programs at the Club that focuses on science and technology,” said Jaene Miranda, president & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. “We opened our new state-of-the-art center last year, and I am thrilled that the community is building upon our mission to help all youth reach their full potential by ensuring they can continue their education after high school.”

The application process opens in February for the first round of scholarships. While the initial gift allows the scholarship program to begin, additional contributions are needed

to serve more students in the future.

“I feel the Glades has been neglected for too long, and we need to turn around the expectation of our children, Finfrock said. “We need their talents to help solve the problems of tomorrow, and this scholarship fund is one way to increase much-needed opportunities in the Glades.”

Dr. LaTanya McNeal, executive dean of the PBSC Belle Glade campus, said she is pleased to launch another partnership to help meet the education and workforce needs in the Glades.

“It has been an amazing experience to work with Chilondra Sheppard, Lotus Holem and Kimberly Sovinski from Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County and our donor, Laura Finfrock, to create a new Foundation scholarship that links the vision of the organization for all youth to have a plan for their future to PBSC career pathways. These types of collaborations are a win-win for the College, the community and our current and future workforce. I appreciate Mrs. Finfrock for her passion, generous donation and willingness to support our youth.”

Counting their Blessings She lost her mother, sister, and brother when their house collapsed from the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010.

Jude Saincyr and her cousin, the only survivors in their home, were stuck under a bed, which shielded them from the rubble.

“The bricks fell on the bed and one side of the bed broke,” Saincyr, a graduating senior at Atlantic High School, recalled this week. “We were under the other side until they found us about four hours later.”

As we enter the season of giving, Saincyr has so much for which to be grateful: a new lease on life and the opportunity to get a college education, thanks to a local nonprofit organization.

After the disaster, her father sent her to Tallahassee, but the teenager did not attend school for a year. It was not until she came to live with her grandparents in Delray Beach and enrolled in high school that a teacher introduced her to Bound for College, an organization that helps atrisk students in south Palm Beach County enter and complete college.

That opportunity was priceless, she said, adding that the organization, formerly known as Delray Students First, pre-

pared her through practice to get better scores on the SAT and ACT tests.

“They made me a better test taker through lots of practice every week,” said Saincyr, who plans to pursue her nursing degree at Florida Atlantic University in the Fall. “We don’t get our motivations unless there is someone there to motivate you. We don’t know what we want unless someone tells us about it.”

Like Saincyr, a handful of students who were enrolled in Bound for College, shared their stories to a roomful of people at Delray Marketplace. They are grateful for the life skills, career planning, mental health counseling, college tours and educational field trips that the program provides.

“Our motivation doesn’t come from home but from teachers. Teachers were a big impact in my life. They motivated me to do so much,” said Hadelle Estimphile, an Atlantic High alum and now a sophomore at FAU. College was not in her reach for various reasons, she said, until she was introduced to Bound for College.

“I didn’t know how I was going to pay for college, but they helped me with my essays and helped me improve my SAT and ACT scores, so I could get 75 percent

Bright Future Scholarship. Now, I don’t have to worry about money.”

Through the affiliation, the students were awarded the prestigious Eda and Cliff Viner Community Scholarship, a four-year award to a state university or college for academically deserving students in Boca Raton and Delray Beach who have financial needs and are community service driven.

Despite last year’s challenges, many of us are still thankful, and although we have the chance for a more normal Thanksgiving this year, many, such as Anna Marie Valdez, will still connect virtually.

The mother of three, who lost a sister, a neighbor and a brother-in-law to COVID-19, has not mustered the courage to venture out.

“I am still not comfortable getting around crowds and I can’t say if and when I will be,” she said.

Upon returning to school, Aiden hit the jackpot when his elementary school teacher handpicked him to be in Star Makers, a STEM-centered afterschool program on campus.

“We have a lot of fun,” said Aiden, who is thankful for being back in school after being cooped up in his home. “We

learn about airplanes, and we learn how to take pictures and how to wash clothes and cook.”

Samuel is grateful for loving parents.

“I’m most thankful for my family and that they love me, and they take care of me every time I need care, or when I need help with homework,” the fourth grader at Orchard View Elementary said. “Some other kids might get money, but I get love.

Some kids may get gifts, but I get hugs.”

Like many of you, I am grateful for so many things: the essential workers doctors, nurses and other medical workers who have braved the virus to attend to patients in nursing homes, hospitals and clinics, and saved many lives - law enforcement and fire personnel, postal employees, delivery workers and those who work at supermarkets, pet stores and pharmacies, farms and processing plants, factories and distribution centers. Let’s not forget the teachers, custodians, and sanitation workers.

Finally, I’m thankful for this opportunity to opine on the important issues of the day – exhorting, explaining, deploring and applauding. I am also grateful for you, our readers who have continued to support this newspaper, since our inception.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Happiness Need not be Seasonal!

Boca Raton, FL - Those who are truly happy in life, have come to realize that happiness need not be an occasional experience, nor a seasonal happening! It can and should be a constant in the life of any individual. It is never dependent on what occurs outside of self but, rather, it is controlled by one’s inward understandings and dispositions, regardless of circumstances affecting one’s life!

Rather than occurring when certain things happen or don’t happen, true happiness is a personal choice. Outward conditions may be horrendous, difficulties of all February 4 - February 10, 2022

kinds may surround anyone, but even then that individual can be truly happy, knowing that what is transitory is what is difficult, while happiness is a chosen condition which can and should remain permanent.

To the extent that you wisely define what is true happiness for you, it becomes much harder for anyone else to take it away from you. Furthermore, happiness is dynamic, not static! When it is soundly experienced, happiness often gives birth to additional manifestations of itself.

Always let your personal happiness be a reflection of what God wishes for you to

enjoy; short of that, it is just a caricature of happiness. Tragically, it is precisely the caricature that so many people today are after, rather than the true experience. Yet, it’s only the legitimate expression of true happiness that is capable of providing what every individual, anywhere on earth, longs to possess!

One is truly happy whose life is in constant advancement toward anything higher and superior to what one possesses at any moment, be it an object or a significant idea. Ultimately, lasting happiness is exceedingly more due to what our willing service for others produces in them, than mere-

www.bocaratontribune.com

ly on what we acquire for ourselves! Happiness should outlast the experiences that gave birth to it, and excel them!

Best-selling author, Matthew Kelly, offers sound advice to all those desirous of retaining the happiness they’ve already achieved, and can still enhance it more: “We are only here on earth for the blink of an eye. This is not our home. That’s why the happiness that God wants and created us for is very different from the fleeting happiness and momentary pleasures of this world.” I fully concur, and hope you will as well!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By: Rick Boxx

By: Robert Weinroth

Mayor Robert Weinroth Provides a County Commission Update With the official start of the Florida Legislative Session, Team Palm Beach County was in the house and the senate!

The county was fully represented, including all seven county commissioners.

It was a whirlwind of meetings with many state leadership members to discuss the needs important to our county and its residents. On our agenda were a number of proprietary issues such as affordable housing, food resources, water quality/storage and transportation.

Additionally, we continued to advocate for home rule since the state has preempted local governments from regulating local issues such as vacation rentals, tree trimming regulations and pet sales.

As always, we are grateful to our state partners for their time and effort. Session will continue through March 11, and a full complement of the county’s lobbyists will remain in Tallahassee to monitor bills and appropriations important to our residents.

BU S I N E S S D E V E L O P M E N T BOARD of PALM BEACH COUNTY It’s been a successful year for economic development with a a record-breaking number of new companies and families moving to the area. We were the #1 county in Florida for growth in 2021, and 2022 looks even better!

As mayor of Palm Beach County, I have the opportunity to serve on the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County (BDB) Executive Committee.

The BDB is the county’s official economic development organization that attracts and retains business investment through corporate relocations, expansions and international trade. The efforts have a lasting and sustainable impact on our county.

This past year, the BDB facilitated 31 corporate relocations and expansions that created 3,028 high-salary jobs and $150 million in capital investment.

At the same time, visitors continue to flock to the area in record numbers fueling our local hotels, small businesses and restaurants. This is extremely important to our economy and the residents who work in the tourism industry.

NEW AREA CODE COMING TO PALM BEACH COUNTY Palm Beach County was recently assigned 728 as a new area code (in addition to 561). The new area code will be an “over-

lay” for the county.

Anticipating that phone numbers starting with 561 will run out by 2023, the new number was assigned by the Florida Public Service Commission.

It will serve the same geographic boundaries as the 561 area code and will be assigned to new telephone numbers and/ or additional lines.

All existing 561 numbers will not be affected. For more information, click here.

PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WELCOMES ITS 13th AIRLINE Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is pleased to welcome Breeze Airways with service starting on February 19.

Some of the destinations include New Orleans, Louisiana, Akron/Canton/Columbus, Ohio Charleston, SC Norfolk/ Richmond, VA For more information, click here.

PBIA serves more than 6.7 million passengers annually and offers 200 nonstop flights daily with 13 airlines!

HISTORIC JOHN F KENNEDY BUNKER With the recent approval of a 30-year lease agreement with the Port of Palm Beach for $10 a year, the county will be restoring and managing an area on Peanut Island that includes President John F. Kennedy’s Cold War-era Bunker.

The 1,800-square-foot Bunker was built in 1961 as a top-secret nuclear bomb shelter for President Kennedy during visits to his family’s estate in Palm Beach.

Once completed, the public will have access to low-impact, educational and historic attractions including tours of the Kennedy bunker and the former Coast Guard station and boathouse built in 1936.

WINTER POLO SEASON AND EQUESTRIAN SEASON Polo is one of Palm Beach County’s favorite pastimes that dates back to the 1970s.

The International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) is one of the most premier polo destinations in the world and is located right here in our backyard. The IPC hosts many of the greatest high-goal teams and tournaments in the world.

During halftime, attendees are invited to participate in the “divot stomp” when spectators walk out on the field and stomp the divots kicked up by the horses’ hooves to help flatten the surface.

Whose Side Are You On? Whether it is in politics, sports, or business, many spiritually minded people tend to conclude that God is either with them – on their side, working in their favor – or He is against them. It is not uncommon to think this way, for instance, in hotly contested elections, is God in favor of the candidates of our choice? When our favorite team is competing against its hated rival, is God rooting for our team to win, just as we are?

And we extend this perspective to marketplace situations. When we are working to finalize a big sale, land a major contract, or earn a much-desired promotion, we may assume God wants us to succeed. After all, we are His children, right? This line of thinking, however, leads to problems. If we do not close that important sale, or if a customer fails to choose us or our company for the contract, we wonder what went wrong. Is God mad at us? Have we fallen out of His favor?

We find an intriguing perspective on this in the Bible’s Old Testament when Joshua, who succeeded Moses as the leader of the people of Israel, saw a man with a drawn sword in his hand and realized it was actually a messenger from God. “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

Joshua inquired. “‘Neither’” was the angel’s response, adding, “‘but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come’ Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, ‘What message does my Lord have for his servant?’” (Joshua 5:13-14). It would be fair to conclude that the foundational issue is not whether God is on our side, but whether we are on His side. Are we choosing to align our lives with Him? Much of the Bible presents a sad scenario: People acting as if they are their own gods, refusing to follow the precepts and principles

www.bocaratontribune.com

God has presented to us through His Word.

For instance, in the prophetic book of Ezekiel, we read about God’s anger toward the people of Israel. Despite being His chosen people, they choose to defy the Lord and disregard His commands.

Repeatedly God promises very stern discipline for the Israelites’ rebellion, but always explains why: So that they “shall know that I am the Lord.” This phrase is repeated dozens of times in Ezekiel, sometimes several times in a single chapter. Reading through this book is a sobering warning. More than anything, God wants us to be on His side.

However, we also read that the Lord does have a unique, preferential love and compassion for His chosen people. For instance, after being told about how He “works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose…” (Romans 8:28), we then read, “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things” (Romans 8:31-32).

King Solomon, during his consecration of the temple built in Jerusalem to honor the one true God. At one point in his dedicatory prayer, Solomon asks, “May the Lord be with us as he was with our fathers; may he never leave us nor forsake us. The following verse, however, affirms that we should not only want God to be for us – but also that we should always be for Him: “May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep the commands, decrees and regulations he gave our fathers” (1 Kings 8:57-58).

We all want God to be for us. But are we willing to be for Him, in whatever He asks of us?

As the sun set over the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) on January 13, American Humane hosted a philanthropic cocktail event to honor brave heroes on both ends of the leash. Military working dogs, who valiantly serve alongside American troops to keep them safe from IEDs and other dangers, are too often retired overseas and are not able to be brought back home to their former handlers.

“A m e r i can Humane is thrilled to have assembled such an exceptional Wellington audience in support of our efforts to reunite American’s brave military K-9s with their beloved handlers,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, American Humane’s president & CEO. “After serving our country, many brave Military Working Dogs are tragically left alone overseas, and military handlers often face the heartbreaking reality of parting ways

with their K-9 counterparts after forming an incredible bond through service on the battlefield.”

Guests savored delicious hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails poolside, and enjoyed the contemporary rhythms of worldrenowned musician Victor Espinola and his electric Paraguayan harp.

A silent auction featured notable prizes, from a scenic helicopter tour of Palm Beach and the Florida Coast, to a two-night stay at Caerula Mar Club, Bahamas, with private jet transportation by Verijet.

Proceeds will assist in bringing military working dogs (MWDs) back home to be reunited with their handlers.

Additionally, monies raised will provide free, specialty, and preventative medical care for retired MWDs. For more information, visit americanhumane.org.

Playbook: Tackling Heartburn on Game Day (StatePoint) The Big Game represents one of the largest eating days in the United States, with gatherings serving up everything from spicy buffalo wings and pizza to sliders and nachos. Between all these go-to treats and the stress brought on by watching the game, many fans experience heartburn.

Though common, heartburn can be very uncomfortable, with many feeling a painful “burning” sensation in the chest.

Some may also experience pressure or pain just behind the breastbone that can last minutes or continue for a few hours.

Other symptoms include the feeling that food is “sticking” in the chest or throat, a sour or acid taste in the back of the throat, and discomfort that gets worse after eating, burping and bloating.

But heartburn doesn’t need to sideline you on game day.

Tackle Heartburn Symptoms To avoid heartburn, take a look at your game day spread. Incorporate foods that are low in fat and high in protein or that have a high water content. Healthy choices include hummus, crudité, grilled chicken

skewers and non-alcoholic beverages. No matter what you’re snacking on though, be sure to stop eating before you’re full.

It’s also smart to cheer from a sitting or standing position. When you lie flat, your esophagus and stomach are on an even plane.

This makes it easy for stomach acids to flow into your esophagus, which can cause heartburn.

Dodge wardrobe malfunctions by wearing clothing with a little give. Tight clothing or belts can put constant pressure on your stomach, giving acid nowhere to

go but up and out. An easy fix? Wear your favorite jersey and don’t be afraid to loosen your belt a notch or two.

If you do need fast heartburn relief, you can also turn to TUMS, which takes seconds to start neutralizing gastric acid in the esophagus, where the pain of heartburn generally starts. It keeps working as it dissolves, going to work fast to relieve the pain of heartburn. To learn more, and for more heartburn relief tips, visit tums.com.

Stress Less, Have Fun Stress is increasingly being recognized as a contributing factor to heartburn, so make the Big Game less nerve-wracking and more fun with some friendly heated competition. America’s number one heartburn medicine, TUMS, is hosting the first-ever TUMSworthy Big Game Trivia -- putting fans’ knowledge to the test for an opportunity to win a piece of $88,000 in prizes.

Shortly before and during the Big Game, TUMS will live tweet links from @ TUMSOfficial leading to brief videos hosted by comedian and television personali-

ty Scott Rogowsky, where participants can answer multiple-choice questions related to football and food. Each correct answer represents one entry into the sweepstakes, and one grand prize winner will be drawn randomly to receive a $56,000 cash prize.

Participants will also have an opportunity to win a piece of an additional $32,000 in prizes throughout the game. Satisfy your appetite for competition by sharing your standing on the live leaderboard via Twitter using #TUMSworthyTrivia. To enter for a chance to win, visit @TUMSOfficial.

“To avoid stress-induced heartburn, take a cue from my playbook and try to have some extra fun during the Big Game,” says Hall of Fame running back, and twotime Big Game champion, Terrell Davis, who will be competing against Pittsburgh legendary wide receiver and two-time Big Game champion, Hines Ward, in a special head-to-head trivia challenge on February 10, livestreamed via @TUMSOfficial.

Ward agrees: “Heartburn is painful.

Flex your trivia skills to help you relax and enjoy this year’s Big Game.”

How to Tap Into the Benefits of Using Pen and Paper (StatePoint) February is International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo) -- a challenge to handwrite a piece of correspondence each day of the month -- meaning there’s no better time to tap into the power of the handwritten word.

“With our many digital forms of communication, we have gained immediacy but lost intimacy,” says Ariann Langsam, vice president of marketing for Pilot Pen, whose background is in biology and neuroscience. “But handwriting is scientifically proven to solidify both cognitive connections needed for learning and comprehension, as well as emotional connections between individuals.

We can make a powerful impact on the lives of others by connecting through the written word, and there are neurological and social benefits that keep writing by hand relevant not only during International Correspondence Writing Month, but all year long.”

It’s Good for the Soul In an era when digital devices and social media seem to dominate how we connect with loved ones, the art of letter writing has become rare. But sitting down to write correspondence by hand can be a much more personal way to connect than modern modes of communication. A recent study conducted by Pilot Corporation of America reinforced the emotional social benefits that come from putting Plus

pen to paper. A remarkable nine out of 10 respondents perceived cards with handwritten messages as more thoughtful and heartfelt than cards with printed messages. Even more respondents (92%) shared that they have saved handwritten cards or letters from a loved one as a cherished keepsake. When asked what emotions they felt when receiving a handwritten card, respondents reported they felt “appreciated,” “touched,” “cared for,” and “recognized”. We could all use a bit more of these feelings. This month, consider taking a few minutes to send a handwritten note to a loved one or friend.

It’s Good for the Brain The benefits of handwriting are firmly grounded in principles of learning and memory. For children, learning to handwrite letters plays a role in fostering the transition to literacy. Mounting evidence suggests that handwriting practice, particularly in preschool and early elementary school, may provide children an advantage in learning this vital skill.

Writing by hand serves students well beyond those early years. Researchers at Princeton and UCLA discovered that college students who took handwritten notes outperformed students who typed their

www.bocaratontribune.com

notes. The study authors believe this is because typing notes lends itself to taking down information word-by-word.

Taking notes by hand, however, required students to think more deeply about the lecture content and be judicious in what they wrote down.

You may no longer be in school yourself, however you still likely need to record information. Whether it’s instructions from your boss, recommendations from your doctor, or thoughts before book club, consider jotting things down by hand to help you better synthesize information.

Make it Count To impress your pen pals during the month of correspondence and make your InCoWriMo challenge a success, you’ll need to gather some supplies: stationery, envelopes, stamps and a trusty pen. To take on a month-long writing challenge, Pilot suggests the G2, America’s number one selling, longest-lasting gel ink pen.

You’ll be able to glide well beyond 28 days of penning handwritten letters, taking notes, tackling to-do lists and anything else that comes across your desk.

For tools and inspiration, visit PowerToThePen.com.

From the classroom to correspondence and beyond, rediscover the art of handwriting and make a bigger impact by putting down the digital device and picking up a pen.

FL residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls FLORIDA - Once Florida residents got wind that Florida State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value.

“It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook.

That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders.

In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Florida State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Florida residents already have and you don’t want to miss out.

You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped

minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible.

And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value.

That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up.

But you better hurry because these Florida State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Florida residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can.

That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Florida who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off.

That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Florida residents Florida residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per FL resident has been imposed FLORIDA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury.

For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Florida Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Florida residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually saw one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.

“Now that the State of Florida Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Florida residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank

Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne.

“That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Florida Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Florida residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say.

And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Florida you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline.

The only thing Florida residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends.

“Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said.

“We’re guessing thousands of Florida residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued.

“We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy.

So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said.

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Florida and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■ Community

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS

FACTS:

If you are a Florida State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB4057

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them.

Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Florida State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many Florida residents claiming them:

Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Florida residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

Florida residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB4057 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist.

That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Florida State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

Place of Hope Champions for Children 20 for 20 Campaign Exceeds Fundraising Goal Place of Hope, ranked top in the nation and state of Florida for youth development, shelter and crisis services in 2021, concluded an inaugural peer-topeer fundraising campaign as part of the organization’s Champions for Children initiative called 20 for 20. The 20 for 20 challenge celebrated 20 years operations while encouraging 20 fundraisers to organize their own give backs to raise funds for Place of Hope. The Champions’ successful efforts collectively raised more than $50,000.

The 20 for 20 Champions for Children consisted of groups and individuals of Place of Hope supporters who took the challenge to their networks and communities. Special thanks to the fundraisers including Luke Pingleton, Coni & Doug Rhudy, Rebecca Giacobba & Christian Penner, Team Orangetheory Jupiter, Team Social Hour, Rene Espinal, Stephanie & Tulio Quirantes, Charles Bender, Lisa McDulin, and Jamie Bond.

“We are honored that so many folks stepped up and took this challenge so that we are able to advance Place of Hope’s mission of defending the fatherless right here in South Florida,” said Charles Bender, Place of Hope Found-

ing CEO. “The success of these parties held in place of a birthday gift or holiday collection speak to the dedication of our supporters to which we are grateful to have every day. There is such power in community, and we could not do what we do at Place of Hope without the movers and shakers who are bringing up Place of Hope in their conversations and consistently bringing new people in. Thank you to each Champion, we are forever grateful!”

The objective of the campaign was to equip, empower, and promote third party efforts made by 20 for 20 Champions for Children to advocate for Place of Hope’s mission and raise vital funds for the thousands served annually. Fundraisers took creativity to the next level with their events which included but was not limited to Parties with a Purpose, fitness challenges, DIY fundraisers, and more!

Teams, and individuals, set the goal of raising $5,000 by combining their spheres of influence.

FAU to Host Tuition-Free Bezos Academy Preschool to Open in Fall of 2022 By: Joshua Glanzer Florida Atlantic University’s Board of Trustees has unanimously approved a 10-year facilities use agreement with Bezos Academy. This agreement will open a tuition-free, Montessori-inspired preschool for low-income families adjacent to FAU’s A.D. Henderson University School on FAU’s Boca Raton campus in fall 2022.

FAU is the first university in Florida and second in America to host the academy. It’s also only the second partnership and location announced in Florida after an affordable housing complex in Orlando.

“I would like to thank the board for their support. It’s fitting that we are the first state university in Florida to host Bezos Academy since it directly aligns with FAU’s long history of providing the whole community access to an excellent education,” said Joel Herbst, Ed.D., superintendent and assistant dean, PK-12 Schools and Educational Programs at FAU. “A.D. Henderson is a choice Title 1 school district that proves children from all economic backgrounds can excel if given the opportunity. Considering their mission, I can’t conceive of a better partner than Bezos Academy for a preschool program on our campus.”

Community

Bezos Academy preschool will feature six classrooms and will offer yearround programming, five days a week, for children from low-income families between ages 3 and 5. The preschool will follow a schedule that is beneficial for children’s learning and growth, while also making it easier for parents who need to work outside the home. It will cover all the operating expenses for the preschool program at no cost to the families it serves. FAU’s colleges also will have opportunities to engage with the Academy’s programing on various levels.

“It’s exciting to partner with an institution like Florida Atlantic University, one of the state’s most diverse universities,” said Mike George, president of Bezos Academy. “We share their belief that everyone deserves access to a great education. We look forward to helping members of the community FAU serves pursue their dreams with the knowledge their children are learning in a safe, warm, and welcoming environment at no cost.”

Families earning up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level with children aged 3 to 4 are eligible to apply. More information and an application to the lottery-based selection process will be posted at www.bezosacademy.org once the school’s specific opening date is set.

The Shops at The Breakers Palm Beach to Showcase Colombian Artist, Mercedes Salazar The Breakers Palm Beach, one of America’s most iconic resort destinations, will debut an exclusive sculptural art exhibition (Tuesday, February 1 – Tuesday, March 1, 2022) by Colombian artist, Mercedes Salazar. Open to the public at several of the property’s boutiques, this installation will feature hand-woven, three-dimensional forms, and Salazar herself will host a special meet & greet at the hotel’s News & Gourmet shop on February 2, 2022, from 11 AM to 2 PM. “We are excited to welcome Mercedes Salazar to Palm Beach for this truly distinctive exhibit,” said John Zoller, Senior Vice President – Retail Operations at The Breakers. “This custom-designed experience will engage visitors, as these pieces will be intertwined throughout our displays in select stores for guests, club members and local residents to enjoy. The art will also be avail-

able for purchase (from $400 – $2,000) and can be acquired at the conclusion of the show (after March 1, 2022).”

“Inspired by the sea and its immense beauty, each of my sculptures in this installation are meant to spark imagination and create a magical space that can be shared with others,” said artist Mercedes Salazar.

“The pieces are built using raffia and ancestral-weaving techniques, creating traditional shapes that evolve into whimsical, threedimensional figures – each supported by a welded wire frame. Our team of over 200 Colombian artisans brings our designs to life by patiently weaving around the structures, which can take anywhere from eight to 16 hours to complete. I am proud to cocreate, support and share the talents of our big family (“our tribe”) with the world,” she continued.

Smithsonian traveling water exhibit on display at Dolly Hand Palm Beach State College’s Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center, in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County and in cooperation with Florida Humanities, is hosting a traveling exhibition called “Water/Ways” from the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street program.

The free exhibit, which runs now through Feb. 26, explores the endless motion of the water cycle, water’s effect on landscape, settlement and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality. The exhibit’s hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday noon to 4 p.m., Wednesday 1 to 4 p.m. and Saturday noon to 4 p.m.

It also looks at how political and economic planning have long been affected by access to water and control of water resources and shows how human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment.

“We are excited that students and community members will have the opportunity to explore the Water/Ways exhibit and disFebruary 4 - February 10, 2022

cover water from new perspectives,” said Lisa Toy, sustainability coordinator for the School District of Palm Beach County.

In addition to the exhibit, the theater and the school district are hosting free events on the topic of water, including film screenings, Brown Bag Talks for the public, and school class field trips.

“We want to convene conversations about water and have developed local exhibitions and public programs to compliment the Smithsonian exhibition,” said Mark Alexander, executive director of PBSC’s theatres.

The exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a unique collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, state humanities councils across the nation, and local host institutions. It is also part of the Smithsonian’s Think Water Initiative to raise awareness of water as a critical resource for life through exhibitions, educational resources and public programs. The public can participate in the conversation on social media at #thinkWater.

The University of Miami Health System’s UHealth at Downtown West Palm Beach (umiamihealth.org/locations/ uhealth-at-downtown-west-palm-beach) will unveil a new, 7,000 square foot clinic featuring specialized care in a variety of healthcare fields, including cardiology, urology, and dermatology.

West Palm Beach Library Association (wpblf.org), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, provides operational and program funding for the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach.

J.McLaughlin is pleased to announce its partnership with The Everglades Foundation for the fifth year in a row.

“We’re thrilled to partner with The Everglades Foundation and help support its important mission to restore and protect America’s Everglades. With 25 locations in Florida, J.McLaughlin truly considers Florida our second home. Being a good neighbor is essential to our company ethos and we can’t think of a better way to help keep Florida beautiful than by supporting an organization that is committed to protecting the vitally important Everglades ecosystem,” says Kevin McLaughlin, Co-Founder and Creative Director.

J.McLaughlin has created a limited-edition collection of women’s and men’s apparel and accessories, which will be available for purchase in all J.McLaughlin Florida stores, New York Flagships, as well as online. A total of 10% of proceeds from the collection will go to The Everglades Foundation.

This year’s print, Flamingo Palm, was inspired by South Florida’s iconic imagery.

Through the sales of The Everglades Foundation collection and Local & Loyal events,

J.McLaughlin has been able to support of the Everglades Literacy program which has trained 4,500 teachers and impacted over 150,000 students in the state of Florida.

“The Everglades Literacy Program empowers the next generation of conservation stewards to continue our mission of restoring and protecting one of the most important and unique ecosystems in the world,” said The Everglades Foundation’s CEO Eric Eikenberg. “Our longstanding partnership with J.McLaughlin speaks of their commitment to protect Florida’s water and habitat.”

The Everglades is the largest subtropical wetland in North America, the freshwater supply to nine million Floridians, and the home to 2,000 species of plants and animals, over 70 of them federally threatened or endangered. The Everglades Foundation leads efforts to restore and protect the Everglades through science, advocacy, and education.

A series of J.McLaughlin in-store events will take place this spring throughout Florida to raise awareness and funds for The Everglades Foundation, including a statewide shopping event on April 7, Everglades Day.

The Boca Raton Tribune

SPORTS FAU Wins on the Road versus Roadrunners Johnell Davis scored a career-high 15 points off the bench and the Florida Atlantic University men’s basketball team converted 22-of-26 free throws to take a 73-64 road win over UTSA Saturday afternoon.

Bryan Greenlee and Alijah Martin scored a team-high 16 points apiece for FAU, while Michael Forrest added 12 points to give the Owls four in double figures.

A Darius McNeill jumper capped a 102 UTSA run and pulled the Roadrunners within one, 65-64 with 3:18 left. But FAU stepped it up on the defensive end of the floor down the stretch. The Owls held the Roadrunners scoreless for the remainder of the contest.

“I saw it in our guys’ eyes, they were tired of coming close,” FAU head coach Dusty May said. “They dug deep and got stops. It wasn’t pretty. For UTSA to get almost 20 more shots than us, to do the work they did on the offensive glass. Credit Bitumba Baruti, Giancarlo Rosado and Nelly (Johnell Davis) on the glass. I thought those three off the bench were the difference in the game.”

Greenlee buried a 3-pointer off a Baruti offensive rebound to stretch the lead to four, 68-64 with 2:22 remaining.

“A lot of these games come down to loose balls and extra possessions,” May said. “Our biggest (3-pointer) of the game, Bitumba came up with a loose ball re-

bound, kicked it back out and it was a dagger 3-pointer to go up four and we never looked back. I’m very, very proud of our guys. They fought.”

Martin scored four of the last five points of the ballgame to help hold the Roadrunners at bay. Martin scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half. Martin also pulled down a team-high nine rebounds, matching his career-high for the third time this season. “(Martin) is growing every game,” May said. “He wants to get better. It’s so important to him. He’s such a great teammate and great human being. He deserves this success and his best basketball is still in front of him. He’s just scratching the surface.”

A first-half that was marked by nine lead changes and seven ties ended with UTSA holding a three-point edge. FAU led by five points, 33-28, with 2:22 remaining in the half. But the Roadrunners used a 10-2 spurt, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer that banked in off the glass, to take a 38-35 edge into the locker room.

UTSA was paced by Jordan Ivy-Curry, who tallied a game-high 19 points, while Jacob Germany added 11 points and a gamebest 10 rebounds.

The Owls are back in action at home Thursday night, hosting West Divisionleading Lousiana Tech. Tipoff at The Burrow is slated for 7 p.m.

Former Lynn baseball player Billy Facteau named Development Coach in Orioles organization

Former Lynn Baseball player Billy Facteau has been named the Development Coach for the Bowie Baysox, the AA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

Facteau, a Lynn University graduate in 2021, played four seasons with the Fighting Knights as a pitcher and utility player. After his time with Lynn, he joined the Orioles organization as a Technology Coordinator Intern. In his new role, Facteau will assist that coaching staff with the integration of

PBSC Baseball Wins 1st Game of 2022 Palm Beach State Baseball won their 1st game on the season with an impressive 112 over Pensacola State College.

The Panthers’ offense was scorching in this one as they had 14 hits in 35 atbats and drew 8 walks. The offense scored in 5 of the 7 total innings.

P B S C took a 2-0 into the 5th before breaking the game open.

The Panthers scored on 4 cons ecutive at-bats. Tristan Moore led off the inning with a single, advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch, and advanced to third on a dropped 3rd strike.

Facteau is one of numerous Lynn University baseball alums to have recent success, as Greg Brown was named the Chicago Cubs hitting coach and Billy Horn was named the manager of the Charleston Dirty Birds.

to score Bogdanchik. Rodriguez promptly stole 3rd and then scored on a passed ball to push the Panther lead to 6-0. Palm Beach would not look back after that as that was all of the scoring they needed to “ice” the game.

The Panthers had a nu m b e r o f sterling performances on Saturday. On offense, Gavin B o g d a n ch i k and Tristan Moore paved the way with 3 hits and 3 runs scored each. Bogdanchik and John Rodriguez both drove in 2 runs, which tied for the team lead.

Mark Link earned the start and fired 4 innings of shutout baseball to earn the win.

Lynn women’s lacrosse season preview The Lynn University women’s lacrosse team is ready to take the field as they look to play their first full season in the history of the program. The team held its inaugural season in 2020, but they only managed to play seven games before COVID-19 shut the program down. In 2021, they got back on the field and played in nine games during an abbreviated season. This year Lynn has 17 games scheduled, more than their first two seasons combined.

Without a full season under their belt, the Fighting Knights aren’t garnering a lot of attention from around the country. In the Sunshine State Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, the Fighting Knights were picked to finish last.

But rather than letting the expectations get to them, the Fighting Knights are using the preseason poll as motivation.

“Though coming in underestimated by our conference foes, I am confident that we have built a foundation for success within our young team,” head coach Mindy Richmond said. “The challenges of the past two seasons have given us incredible experience and our players are ready to show their growth and perseverance.”

The team will be led by an experienced group, beginning with a pair of attackers that have been playing together for three seasons in co-captain Isabella Clark and Danielle Farinas. Diane Dohler is also returning, and she, along with Farinas, led the Fighting Knights with 13 goals last season. In addition, the Fighting Knights welcome a midyear addition in Kristyn Johnson who will look to add strength to the draw circle and an already strong attacking unit.

On the defensive side of the field, the Fighting Knights return three re-

turning starters from a season ago, and they add freshman Kaia Goodiel to the mix. Clark’s co-captain, Ginger Stein will look to lead the defensive unit alongside Mackinsey Hamer. Both players have been together since the beginning of the women’s lacrosse program. Rounding out the defensive unit, the Fighting Knights add transfer goalie Ciara Moorman, who joins Lynn after spending time at the University of Mount Olive.

“Moorman adds years of experience at the DII level as one of the top goalkeepers in the division last season,” Richmond said. “She has quick hands and quick clears and will definitely help us immensely in our transition game which was a challenge for us a year ago.”

Finally, the midfield adds freshman Mallory Jarka to go along with sophomores Carly McNeil and Lauren Dickson who will look to come back strong after playing important minutes last season.

“We are thrilled to finally have the opportunity to compete in our first full season and are excited to prove ourselves within the conference and the division,” Richmond said. “We have amazing leaders in Isa and Ginger who guide our team with the values of spirit, service and strength. They have been so amazing in helping us to establish our team culture and expectations. I truly believe that this year will be the year that we open some eyes to the strength of our program and prove that we are a team to be respected in the SSC.” The Fighting Knights will open up play on Thursday, Feb. 3 with a 4 p.m. home game against Young Harris. In all, the Fighting Knights will play 12 home games this season.
