Sub-Culture Group Announces New Italian Trattoria at Dubliner Location at Mizner Park Sub-Culture Group announces the opening of a new Italian trattoria. The announcement is bittersweet as it comes with the news that beloved Irish pub, The Dubliner, will be closing this spring to make room for the new concept dubbed Shaker & Pie. “In 2006, we had this crazy idea to open an Irish pub in Mizner Park,” said Scott Frielich, Vice President of Sub-Culture Group. “Hundreds of thousands of Irish whisky shots, pints of Guinness and great conversations later, it has come time for us to evolve and write the next chapter,” he continued. “One door needs to close for the next to open and we are very excited to bring our newest creation to Mizner Park. Thank you for the decade and a half of memories, you will be missed Dubliner, but never forgotten.”

Boca Raton “Ability” Garden is Designed for Everyone JARC Florida’s Ability Garden was created over 13 years ago. Kimberli Swann, Supportive Living Coach, Environmental Educator, and Coordinator of the JARC FL Ability Garden in Boca Raton, designed a master plan to create an Ability Garden that allowed JARC FL clients to sit or stand while gardening because not everyone could squat or bend over.

These built-in adaptations allow everyone to have the opportunity to garden no matter what their ability or disability is.

Today, the produce (vegetables and fruit) from the JARC garden is prepared by the clients in the garden’s Farm to Table Outdoor Kitchen, or it is sold to raise money for the garden program.

“No matter what your abilities, you are welcome here,” said Swann, “the garden is a place to learn patience, care, and nurturing. The life skills are endless.”

Some of the key components of the JARC FL Ability Garden include: Our garden has not always had a paved path but as soon as we put one in, the garden became accessible to many more clients.

Some of the key components of the JARC FL Ability Garden include: Our garden has not always had a paved path but as soon as we put one in, the garden became accessible to many more clients. The garden is long and linear so we designed the path to wind and have curves so that I could create nooks and niches on both sides of the path. That is where we have placed a multitude of planters of different heights to accommodate all the different heights that people come in!

The planters butt right up to the path so that you can stay on the path while you garden. This provides stable footing as well as accessibility to someone in a wheelchair.

I also designed the path to be wide enough so that two people can walk side by side

www.bocaratontribune.com

which in some cases involves a client who may be unsteady on their feet and an aide holding their arm.

Benches and chairs are interspersed throughout the length of the space. This is so that someone can rest if they can’t make the long walk. It is also so that a person can sit at eye level with someone who is in a wheelchair or a scooter.

We have several kinds of specialized planters as well. We have two round rolling towers with multiple growing pockets that can be gardened in while standing up or while sitting.

Some clients need to stay out of the sun, so we roll it to the shade, let them garden and then roll it back to the sun so that the plants grow. In addition, we have a planter that allows a wheelchair user to get their legs underneath it so that they are not gardening from a sideways position. Years ago, before you could buy these commercially, we built one for our clients.

In addition, we have small portable benches that can be easily carried so that one can sit while working. These benches also flip over and become cushioned kneelers. Our social area has extra-large tables to comfortably accommodate people who need extra space such as someone in a motorized scooter. And lastly, don’t forget to buy specialized scissors and tools for your left-handed users and light weight tools for those gardeners with limited strength or mobility.

In honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we invite you come by and visit the JARC Ability Garden and meet the clients that keep it thriving. https://jarcfl.org/garden/

Martin F. Greenberg Family Foundation Contributes $1 Million to Boca Raton’s Keeping the Promise Capital Campaign The Martin F. Greenberg Family Foundation has made a $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Martin F. and Tali Greenberg’s generosity to the hospital through the Keeping the Promise campaign brings the total funds raised to $224 million toward its goal of $250 million.

“We are extremely grateful to Martin and Tali for considering Boca Raton Regional Hospital as a worthy recipient of such generosity,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

“Martin’s reputation as a philanthropist is legendary, and we know our vision is a profound one if the couple can so enthusiastically get behind it. We welcome them to our family of donors.”

The Greenberg gift will be honored in the new Gloria Drummond Patient Tower through the naming of the Martin F. Greenberg and Family Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Located on the second floor within the Center for Surgical Services, the new state-of-the-art PACU is a wellequipped critical care unit with 26-bays, isolation rooms, two nurses stations and nourishment stations.

“When I decide to support an organization, it’s really because it tickles my fancy,” said Mr. Greenberg. “Its mission and goals need to be sound and impactful. And, just as importantly, its people need to be worthy.

The Hospital and the Foundation…they are made up of special people…and Tali and I are very appreciative of all that they do.”

Martin F. Greenberg has been enormously philanthropic, making significant

gifts to Florida Atlantic University, where Mr. Greenberg is a founder of the FAU football program and helped build the stadium in which they play, as well as the Mayo Clinic where he is a principal benefactor, along with St. Jude, the Anti-Defamation League, University of Miami School of Law and many others.

“We are ecstatic to welcome Martin F. and Tali Greenberg to our Foundation’s distinguished group of Eminent Philanthro-

pists,” said Stan Barry, co-chair of Keeping the Promise. “Their belief in our plans and our vision is gratifying and they are also spectacular embodiments of philanthropic leaders. We believe their support underscores Martin and Tali’s appreciation of the Hospital as a valuable resource in the community.”

The $250 million Keeping the Promise Campaign is the largest fund-raising initiative in Boca Regional’s history and is supporting its most ambitious period of growth and expansion. The campus redevelopment plans include at the centerpiece, the new Gloria Drummond Patient Tower where patients will be welcomed in the inviting new Louis B. and Anne W. Green Lobby with plans for retail, dining, meeting space, a sanctuary, outdoor courtyards and other conveniences for visitors.

The new tower features all new surgical suites and all private patient rooms exceeding the latest safety standards for patient care. In the current hospital building, all existing rooms will be converted to private in a comprehensive renovation of all patient units including maternity, oncology, and orthopedics. An expansion of the Marcus Neuroscience Institute is underway with emphasis on neurovascular/stroke, central nervous system tumors, spine, and epilepsy/seizure disorders. The recently opened 972-car Schmidt Family Parking Facility will

be connected to the Marcus Neuroscience Institute once the new tower construction is complete. Also, well underway with dramatic progress on campus is the new Toby and Leon Cooperman Medical Arts Pavilion with outpatient surgery, physician offices, an Ambulatory Surgery Center and

“This leadership gift to Boca Regional is especially meaningful to me and Tali because it benefits our friends and neighbors,” added Mr. Greenberg. “Boca Raton Regional Hospital has a great impact on our community, and we want to do everything we can to support it.”

Lois Dolphus Martin, Longtime Educator, Tenacious Warrior for her city Shortly after the integration of Delray Beach’s Carver High School in the early 1970s, Lois Martin found herself fighting her peers for respect and fair treatment in the schoolhouse.

And upon returning home to Boca Raton, the math teacher faced another hurdle: racism and discrimination.

“I have been fighting racism since I was a child, which prepared me for anything,” Mrs. Martin, who credited her strong Christian upbringing for her endurance, once said.

Services were held recently for the longtime educator, volunteer, and community and civic leader, who died Jan. 9. She was 93.

“What a wonderful human being she was,” said Bill Harper, director of food and warehouse operations for Boca Helping Hands, where Mrs. Martin volunteered for more than 10 years. “She is just sitting in glory now, singing.”

Addie Hudson, Mrs. Martin’s best friend, said the news of her passing was an unexpected blow.

“I am just so devastated about it,” said Hudson, 95, who was the maid of honor in Mrs. Martin’s wedding and the god mother of her son, Edward. “I was just hoping she would hold on to see her grandchildren graduate from college and high school.”

The two spoke daily about everything, Hudson said.

Mrs. Martin spent 50 years in the educational trenches, beginning at Pearl City El-

ementary School, and Roadman Elementary School, which was the city’s first school for blacks. She graduated in 1946 as class salutatorian from Carver High School before heading to Florida Normal College in St. Augustine.

She transferred to Florida A&M University after two unhappy years to pursue more independence and a challenging academic environment, according to an April 2002 interview with The History Makers. She worked hard to pay for her education and graduated in 1950 as one of four female math majors in her class.

Mrs. Martin began graduate work at Boston College but returned to teach math at her alma mater, Carver. She also taught math for five years during the turbulent 1960s in an integrated environment at Booker T. Washington High School in Montgomery, Alabama, and at Carver Middle School in Delray Beach, where she retired in 1988.

A passionate advocate for education, Mrs. Martin did not mince her words when it came to fairness.

As a reporter for one of the area’s dailies, I spent some time with her shortly after she retired. She had a no tolerance for nonsense and was a great storyteller.

She once told me about a supervisor at Carver High, who “did not know any math” and asked her for help.

“She said, ‘I want you to teach me how to

check the lesson plans and what’s needed…,” Mrs. Martin recalled, adding that the woman was simply unqualified for the job.

One day when Mrs. Martin was teaching quadratic equation, her supervisor returned her lesson plan, peppered with red marks.

When Mrs. Martin asked her, ‘What equation is this?’, the supervisor replied, “You know I don’t know any math, I don’t know what that is.”

She also said the red marks indicated she at least read the plan.

“I told her, ‘you better find yourself some whiteout and get every red mark out of my lesson plan book, and you’re going to hear from the principal’” Mrs. Martin said.

Mrs. Martin met with the principal and meticulously laid out her lesson plan. She explained that she had students with different learning levels and had to teach them accordingly.

“I can give you my scope of what I’m doing. I can give you the booklet of where they’re going next and everything else and all of that,” she told him. “But just a lesson plan for this week I can’t do it. And I thank God that I have it all ready and here it is. I will not be doing any more lesson plan.’”

She was not required to write a lesson plan after that.

Viola Fashaw said her aunt played a significant role in her and her seven siblings’ lives.

“She helped my momma to raise us because my father died when I was actually three

years old and I had seven siblings,” Fashaw said.

And although Mrs. Martin was her math teacher at Carver High School, she did not get any break.

“She said if I got a C in her class, it would end up being a D because she did not want anybody think she was being partial to us,” Fashaw said.

Throughout her retirement, she remained engaged in the community. She was active in Ebenezer Baptist Church where she was a Sunday School teacher, secretary and treasurer.

She pushed for dignity and equality for the residents of Pearl City and Dixie Manor, the city’s only public housing complex. The city built the Lois Martin Community Center in her honor in Dixie Manor.

She also served on several city boards and participated in nonprofit organizations, including Habitat for Humanity and Boca Helping Hands, which provides food, medical and financial assistance to those in need.

She logged more than 3,200 hours there and no task was too hard for her. Some days, she would wrap utensils in napkins, make sandwiches for the center’s clients or check bags at the door.

“She really was thrilled to be here to talk to anybody and everybody she could,” Harper said. “She got in the morning and came here to impact lives and was happy when she did.”

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Disappointments Are Part of Life!

Each human life should operate according to a sound plan that helps produce good results.

Every individual can experience a purposeful life if plans are in place for the hoped-for outcomes.

The good one desires and expects never comes by the mere wish one intensely manifests!Even then, plans also fail, however good and solid they may be! What was expected to bring certain advantages can sometimes produce the very opposite.

Obviously, no one ever plans a disappointment as something they eagerly anticiMarch 4 - March 10, 2022

pate; people actually avoid such experiences as much as they can. Yet, by what is done or not done ahead of time, frustrations come, disappointments often emerge, becoming an unwelcome reality to be confronted and dealt with in the best possible fashion!The fact that disappointments always occur in a person’s earthly trajectory should not give anyone the excuse for inaction with respect to them.

Some may be avoided ahead of time, while all can be dealt with creatively once they invade

one’s human experience. A mere acceptance of the inevitable unpleasantness is no sign of strength but of weakness, since obstacles most often can be overcome.

There are resources which God makes available and which human intelligence can utilize!Someone has wisely stated that much that life sometimes forces on us as an unpleasant surprise, is there either to change us for the better, or for us to change it with carefully secured means to overcome the undesirable situation we encounter.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Nothing should be allowed to paralyze us in our trajectory toward something better in life!

Every challenge demands a corresponding action! Some problems may arise due to our own poor choices, while others affect us adversely on account of somebody else’s human error, or evil intent.

In any case, we should not focus on the barriers represented by any disappointing experiences, but lift our gaze above and beyond them where new paths open up for our continued adventure!

Benefits of Full Disclosure

Three African Porcupettes Are Born at Palm Beach Zoo For fans of baby animals, Palm Beach County Mayor Robert Weinroth is getting right to the point!

The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society recently announced the arrival of of the Zoo’s newest residents. Cleo the African crested porcupine gave birth to three baby porcupines, or “porcupettes,” in the early hours of February 3, 2022.

The three babies are healthy, with two of the littermates spending time with mom and dad, Priscilla, in their outfitted night house to give the new family private bonding time together out of public view for now. The third porcupette was born significantly smaller than the rest. The youngest did well in the family unit for the first several days, however, on day seven s/ he was showing signs of being antagonized by its siblings.

In the wild world, having a “runt” of a litter is not uncommon. Unfortunately, a weaker newborn is much less likely to survive in nature.

At Palm Beach Zoo, the runt gets a second chance. Palm Beach Zoo’s animal care team is prepared for such situations and made the necessary decision to intervene. S/he is being hand-raised by animal experts with the hopes of being reintroduced to its family when the time is right.

Cleo arrived at the Zoo in May of 2021 from San Diego Wildlife Alliance (formerly San Diego Zoo) as a potential mate for long-time resident Priscilla, a male porcupine.

The Species Survival Plan® (SSP) for African crested porcupines is led by a group of Association of Zoos and Aquariums professionals and population scientists who track and match genetics for animals in managed care. The team deemed the two a genetic match, and the rest was up to the porcupine pair and nature. The team of zoologists that care for the

pair was thrilled to see evidence of a love match after several months.

From that point on, “baby watch” began.

Crested porcupines live in pairs and stick together throughout their lifetime. They can live to their late teens and even into their 20’s, raising babies every year or so. Often, a few generations live together in a group until they find their own mates.

“The plan for all our Zoo animals is to provide them with their appropriate social groupings, so we are thrilled Pricilla and Cleo are living a happy porcupine life,” said Palm Beach Zoo President and CEO Margo McKnight.

Cleo is an experienced mother who cared for multiple litters at her previous home, and Priscilla is a first-time dad. According to General Curator Mike Terrell, “He is settling into the role well. He is curious, excited and slightly overwhelmed. In other words – Priscilla is having a normal first-time dad reaction!”

African crested porcupines coparent their young, and Cleo and Priscilla are divvying up the responsibilities appropriately.

McKnight continued, “African crested porcupines clearly evolved by getting big (they are the largest by far of any porcupine) and prickly to survive in an environment replete with powerful predators such as lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild dogs.

Several studies in South Africa show these porcupines have an important role as ‘ecological-engineers’ tilling soils and selectively choosing the vegetation to eat, which in turn promotes great biodiversity (compared to areas where they were hunted out).”

The sexes of the porcupettes are unknown at this point and will be announced at a later date. Check the social media channels @PalmBeachZoo for updates!

A friend I will call Tim made a critical mistake during his process of hiring a key executive. After the hiring proved to be a failure, Tim admitted that in this situation, he had neglected to adequately communicate his organization’s purpose and values during the recruitment and interview process.

After six months, it had become evident the new executive, despite very impressive professional credentials, did not fit the established culture of Tim’s company.

When the executive was resigning, he told Tim, “I know your faith was mentioned during my interview, but I did not take it seriously. Had I better understood, I could have told you then that it would not work.”

Tim either presumed the interviewee would understand the faith-related values that served as a foundation for the company’s operations, or in perceiving this executive had the job expertise and experience the company needed, he chose not to emphasize them.

Many companies have found it prudent to express and reinforce their corporate values on mission and values statements.

These serve as reminders for employees of what the organization stands for and what it holds as top priorities. In the hiring process, particularly for key individuals, it can be very helpful to introduce these written documents and briefly review them.

This serves to candidly state from the start what the company’s leaders believe and the philosophy to which they ascribe, and also gives the potential hire an opportunity to evaluate whether those values are ones that he or she can support.

www.bocaratontribune.com

This does not mean prospective employees must be aligned spiritually with company owners or leaders, such as in a privately held, family-owned business. In many instances, laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of religious belief. However, if a job applicant cannot embrace corporate values such as integrity, fairness, customer service, quality, honesty and excellence, it is best to determine that before a hiring mistake is made to the detriment of everyone involved.

Jesus Christ addressed this when He said in Mark 4:21-22, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.”

Again describing beliefs and values in terms of light, Jesus also said, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden…. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

A highly effective, harmonious corporate team not only has people of different talents and abilities working together, complementing one another. They also ascribe to similar values and share a common sense of mission. If you expect your staff to model company values and represent them appropriately to customers and suppliers, it would be wise to emphasize them clearly during interviews. In articulating and impressing values on members of any organization, there is no better place to start than at the beginning.

Boca West Children’s Foundation Collected 180,000+ Diapers Through Its Annual Drive, Shattering Last Year’s Record Records were shattered recently when Boca West Children’s Foundation (BWCF) collected more than 180,000 diapers during its 7th Annual Diaper Drive in February.

2021’s record number was 100,000.

The diapers were donated to the Diaper Bank, Covering South Florida, and then distributed to non-profits that care for local babies and toddlers. The Foundation has served as a major supporter of the Diaper Bank since 2016 as it falls within the organization’s mission to help programs that aid local children.

“In order for parents to work, they need to provide a sufficient number of diapers each day in order for their children to attend daycare,” said Pamela Weinroth, Executive Director/COO of Boca West Children’s Foundation. “Not only does the diaper drive help keep children healthy, it helps keep our economy going by making it easier for parents to work. Last year the Founda-

tion collected 100,000 diapers and we were thrilled to break that record this year!” The Supplemental Nutrition Supplement Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, does not cover diapers.

Infants and toddlers who remain in soiled diapers for too long are at risk of urinary tract infections and skin infections. Most child-care centers, even free and subsidized facilities, require parents to provide a daily supply of disposable diapers to care for a baby. Without child-care, parents cannot go to work or school.

Throughout the year, BWCF also accepts monetary donations for the Diaper Bank. A donation of $25 will purchase 120 diapers, $50 will purchase 250 diapers, and $100 will purchase 500 diapers, according to the National Diaper Bank Network. Donations may be made by check to Boca West Children’s Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 3070, Boca Raton, FL 33431.

3 Fun and Fresh Sneaker Trends to Try Right Now (StatePoint) New shoes can be a great way to update a wardrobe while staying motivated to remain on track with a wellness goal. From platform sneakers to slipon styles with clean, classic graphics, a range of fresh footwear trends are all the rage. To stay on-trend, try these three tips and style ideas on for size.

1. Slide on slip-on styles: According to Alyson Stanley, buyer for national retailer Rack Room Shoes, fashion is a form of expression, and right now, comfort and convenience are doing all the talking. The latest slip-on shoes require no lacing up or adjusting Velcro straps, making getting dressed easy and fun for even the youngest family member.

Shoes to try: Vans’ retro styles come in various vibrant colors and patterns, with sizes for school-aged girls and boys, and parents, too. Additionally, the Nike Flex Runner Slip-On Sneaker is available in fun

color combinations and offers plenty of support for children to run, jump and play.

2. Reach new heights with chunky

soles: When it comes to platform sneakers, there’s no need for subtlety. Bigger is better. Top brands embrace this elevated

shoe design in both high-top and low-top versions.

Shoes to try: This season, Converse offers platform styles that kick it up a notch in a plethora of colors, including white-on-white, pastel shades, animal prints and classic patterns.

3. Color block: Athletic shoes adorned with pops of bright colors, such as coral, teal, bubblegum pink and neon green, are a fresh choice to stay motivated to maintain fitness goals all year – and an ideal way to add a unique look to an outfit.

Shoes to try: Nike’s Air Max Excee sneaker offers a variety of vibrant options for men, women and children.

For one-stop-shopping during any season, visit Rack Room Shoes in stores or online at rackroomshoes.com.

“With a few simple updates, embracing this year’s shoe trends can be simple, easy and fun for the whole family,” says Stanley.

3 Affordable Kitchen Upgrades to Consider (StatePoint) Is remodeling your kitchen on your wish list? Afraid of how much it’ll set you back?

HomeAdvisor puts the average kitchen remodel price in the $12,567 to $34,962 range. However, you can buck the trend of costly, complicated updates. Consider these three renovations, all of which will improve the look and functionality of your kitchen, without costing you thousands of dollars: Refresh Fabrics Reupholstering just one chair means shelling out $150 to $600, according to HomeGuide. If that’s beyond what you’re willing to pay, but you’re not ready to replace a beloved set of kitchen chairs, you can update their look on a budget and in just a few minutes with stretchable seat covers. A good choice for families with kids or pets, these covers are typically machinewashable and can be swapped out as often as you like to suit your mood. From geometric designs to citrus vibes to florals, they’re offered in a range of patterns that will look great with any style.

New Granite Surfaces Countertops are the most common feature upgraded during kitchen renovations, according to a 2022 Houzz study, which found that nine in 10 remodelers performed this update. The same survey found that 35% of homeowners are splurging to make it happen. If you’ve looked into granite countertops, you probably learned that it can cost thousands of dollars and take months to have them custom-made and installed.

Plus

Adding this touch of luxury to your kitchen doesn’t have to bust your budget, involve contractors or mean supply chain hassles. It can actually be an easy, one-weekend DIY project. Using a LuxROCK Solid Surface Granite Countertop Kit from Daich Coatings, you can transform your countertops and island surfaces at just a fraction of the price of a professional granite counter-

top installation. For about $300, a kit covers 40 square feet of space. This functional and decorative blend of real stone with stunning mineral highlights can be used to give a smooth appearance to countertops, tables or any other surface. And because the authentic stone surface resists stains, heat and impact and is food safe, it’s a great solution for the kitchen.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Each kit includes a prime coat, stone coats, clear epoxy and a clear coat finish, as well as all the tools needed. This revolutionary and exceptionally easy resurfacing project doesn’t require any artistic skills to be a success. Nor does it require technical skills, as sinks, plumbing fixtures and existing countertops don’t need to be removed before application.

If you’re someone who likes the flexibility of changing things up every few years, it’s simple to update granite surface colors using another LuxROCK kit when you’re ready. Both this U.S. patent-pending kit and the brand’s textured countertop kits are available online at The Home Depot and Lowe’s.

Optimize Your Pantry Pantries are often tucked away, but you can still give them an eye-catching makeover. For fresh pops of color, paint the pantry door and wallpaper the interior. Group items by height, then use customizable shelving to stretch storage real estate. You may also wish to transfer kitchen staples to uniform containers. This will offer a tidier, more visually appealing look, while helping you make better use of limited space.

Whether you opt for mason jars, ceramic canisters, or BPA-free plastic cubes, label containers carefully.

It’s the heart of the home, but that doesn’t mean you need to break the bank to create your dream kitchen. With ingenuity, you can improve its look and functionality at an affordable price point and in just a weekend.

Sub-Culture Group Announces New Italian Trattoria at Dubliner Location at Mizner Park Several changes are on the horizon at Boca Raton’s bustling dining and entertainment center, Mizner Park, as Sub-Culture Group announces the opening of a new Italian trattoria. The announcement is bittersweet as it comes with the news that Sub-Culture’s muchloved Irish pub, The Dubliner, will be closing this spring to make room for the new concept dubbed Shaker & Pie. “In 2006, we had this crazy idea to open an Irish pub in Mizner Park,” said Scott Frielich, Vice President of Sub-Culture Group. “Hundreds of thousands of Irish whisky shots, pints of Guinness and great conversations later, it has come time for us to evolve and write the next chapter,” he continued. “One door needs to close for the next to open and we are very excited to bring our newest creation to Mizner Park. Thank you for the decade and a half of memories, you will be missed Dubliner, but never forgotten.”

Shaker & Pie will be a contemporary Italian trattoria specializing in Neo-Neapolitan pizza from their imported wood-burning oven, sharable plates and housemade pasta. Focused on making the best slow-ferment sourdough, their pies will have light and airy crust with chef-curated toppings. The laidback neighborhood locale will also offer great Italian wines and classic cocktails from mixologist Angela Dugan, who will spreadhead a tailored cocktail program for each of the Sub-Culture venues at Mizner Park.

2022 will be a time of significant changes at Mizner Park as Kapow Noodle Bar relocates to a larger footprint across the street just in time for its 10th anniversary. Kapow’s new home will feature an indoor/outdoor wrap-

around bar, eight-seat omakase bar, expansive covered patio seating, and three full-service private karaoke rooms. They’ll also launch a new elevated menu that will eventually roll out to the West Palm Beach location.

Slipping into the more intimate space once occupied by Kapow, Sub-Culture will debut Penelope, a playful New Orleans-style brasserie that embraces the diverse culture and mysteries of one of the South’s most lively cit-

ies. The innovative menu will borrow from French, Cajun, and other global influences focusing on flavor-forward cuisine that’s upscale but approachable. The drinks are always flowing in Nola, and Penelope will be no different with traditional French cordials, craft cocktails, and a wine list that’s reminiscent of the caféstyle drinking culture of Paris.

“We started developing the Shaker & Pie concept in 2015 and for one reason or another, it just wasn’t the right time or location,” said partner Vaughan Dugan. “It was a tough decision to close the Dubliner, but the silver lining is that it is a great opportunity to bring Shaker & Pie to life. I ran a multi-location pizza concept earlier in my career so it’s rewarding to see things come full circle as we work on the menu for our wood-fired pizzas and small plates,” he continued. “Between the diversity of cuisines, renowned chefs and notable brands establishing roots here, it’s an exciting time for the food scene in Palm Beach, and we are happy to be a part of it.”

Rounding out Sub-Culture’s offerings at Mizner Park, is SubCutlure Coffee, which is set to open in a few weeks. It will be the third in Palm Beach County after shops in West Palm Beach and, Jupiter, with plans to open Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens later this year. Like its other locations, Boca’s shop will roast its own coffee beans in-house and offer grab-and-go breakfast, lunch, and snack foods.

The Sub-Culture team plans to close the

Advancing Educational Equity for Latino Students and Fostering Strong Connections between Parents and Schools UnidosUS has been awarded a $745,000 grant from State Farm. Their continued investment will fund programs that work to advance educational equity for Latino students and foster strong connections between parents and schools. The grant will fund the five UnidosUS education initiatives: CASA, Early Escalera, Avanzando Through College, Padres Comprometidos and speranza/Hope Fund. The programs are implemented in partnership with UnidosUS Affiliate Network, a national network of nearly 300 local community-based organizations that directly serve the Latino community. The grant will also support UnidosUS annual conference, one of the largest gatherings of Latinos and allies, all committed to social change and moving the country forward.

“We are grateful for State Farm’s continued investment, partnership and commitment to the Latino community,” said Delia DeLaVara, Senior Vice President for Development and Strategic Initiatives at UnidosUS. “Through their generous support, our ongoing efforts to strengthen and expand our educational programs ensure we are positioned to address the systemic and racial inequities affecting young Latinos and help bridge their access to the opportunities they need to reach their full

potential.”

“As a long-standing supporter of UnidosUS, State Farm is proud to provide this grant to ensure Latino youth have access

to resources for their educational pursuits and also support the much needed COVID-19 response efforts by UnidosUS”, said Lupe Alcala, Assistant Vice-Presi-

dent of Marketing at State Farm. ““We are committed to helping strengthen and build stronger communities”. This grant is our way to showcase that commitment in a meaningful way and also help address systemic and racial inequalities”.

The UnidosUS CASA, Early Escalera and Avanzando Through College programs are youth-focused initiatives that support students’ college and career readiness and leadership development.

The programs deliver culturally and linguistically responsive workshops and experimental learning activities designed to empower low-income and first-generation students to serve as change agents in their communities and to ease their higher education journey.

Padres Comprometidos is a parent engagement program that equips participants with the skills and confidence to actively engage in the school community and serve as strong advocates for their children’s academic success.

The Esperanza/Hope Fund was established in 2020 to support the UnidosUS Affiliate Network and community partners’ response to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the Latino community.

The fund provides grants and emergency resources to its Latino Affiliates and the communities they serve.

Junior League of Boca Raton Boca Helping Hands Expands Food Launches Leadership Program for Distribution in Boynton Beach Local At-Risk Teens The Junior League of Boca Raton has started a new leadership program for local at risk teens. The JLBR Junior Leadership Program (JLP) will kick off on March 3rd from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Lab at YMCA, 600 Glades Road, Boca Raton. Dozens of teens from Title 1 schools will attend the informational kick-off event and take part in interactive activities, including a scavenger hunt and raffle. Refreshments will be provided.

The JLP is a new initiative of the Junior League of Boca Raton to help youth ages 11-17 gain confidence, develop leadership skills, and find their inner passion, which will result in new possibilities and brighter futures for them. The program is launching at a time when at-risk teens need more help and support than ever before. The Junior League of Boca Raton launched this program after researching unmet needs in the community.

The curriculum combines resources from The Student Leadership Challenge, a research-based program by James M. Kouzes, and Barry Posner, and Franklin Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.

March 4 - March 10, 2022

Youth will also be exposed to high-quality speakers and new experiences through partnerships with non-profit organizations.

Following the kick-off event, teens can apply to join JLP and the Junior League of Boca Raton will select 24 students to take part in the program, which will take place on April 2nd, April 30th and one in May as well. Two JLP graduates from the 2022 inaugural class will receive $500 scholarships.

Committee members include Jessica Forres and Ginette Javier.

Seamster has over eighteen years of experience working in schools ranging from teacher to administrator to adjunct professor.

Boca-based owner and operator CP Group acquired the office park in 2018 with the vision of bringing its history into the future and creating an ecosystem where innovation continues to thrive.

As part of SBRHM’s Rap Session series, CP Group Managing Partner Angelo Bianco will share interesting IBM anecdotes (like how Bill Gates negotiated the biggest business deal of our lifetime right here in Boca Raton) and his firm’s current process for transforming BRiC into a vibrant, robust destination for today’s workforce with Google-campus-type amenities such as Boca Raton’s first food hall, STEAM lab, and presentation space. Today,

BRiC is home to 18 national and 19 regional office tenants with up to 6,000 employees.

BRiC is pursuing plans to reimagine the 123-acre office park property into a soughtafter high-tech, community-focused planned mobility destination where today’s forwardthinking employers can recruit and grow the “best and brightest” workforce while elevating and benefiting our community as a whole.

Just as Mizner Park was conceived in Boca Raton as a groundbreaking model of its time, plans for BRiC could once again put Boca Raton on the map for other municipalities to study and embrace for their placemaking.

Both pre- and post-Rap Session, attendees can visit The Schmidt Museum’s IBM Gallery, celebrating Boca Raton’s pivotal role as the home of the IBM PC personal computer. This permanent exhibit features prototype IBM computers, including the original PC and PCjr, along with early generation software, marketing tools, historic photographs, and more.

The cost to attend this Rap Session is FREE for BRHS members; and $10 for nonmembers. To RSVP, please email office@bocahistory.org or call 561.395.6766, ext. 100.

Book Festival Presents “New York Times” Best-Selling Authors Florida Atlantic University’s fifth Palm Beach Book Festival, featuring Oliver Stone, Garret M. Graff, Alan Cumming and Imani Perry, Ph.D., will take place on Saturday, March 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the University Theatre, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. Tickets are $25 per session and can be purchased at www. fauevents.com or by calling 561-297-6124.

Parking is included with cost of admission.

FAU faculty and staff tickets are $10 and all student tickets are free.

Perry, author of “South to America,” will jumpstart the festival with the first panel at 10 a.m. The session will be moderated by Leigh Haber, Oprah’s Book Club editor. Perry is the Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University. Her other books include “Looking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry,” winner of the 2019 Bograd-Weld Biography Prize from the Pen America Foundation; “Breathe: A Letter to My Sons;” “Vexy Thing: On Gender and Liberation;” and “May We Forever Stand: A History of the Black National Anthem.” Perry, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts as well as Chicago, and currently lives outside of Philadelphia with her two sons.

Isabel Wilkerson called “South to America,” “an elegant meditation on the complexities of the American South — and thus of America — by an esteemed daughter of the South and one of the great intel-

lectuals of our time. An inspiration.”

The second panel features Cumming with his book “Baggage” at 11:15 a.m., and will be moderated by Joseph Papa. Cumm i n g ’s m a ny awards for his stage and screen work include the Tony, Olivier, BAFTA and E m m y. H e is the author of two children’s books, a book of photographs and stories, a novel, and the No. 1 New York Times’ bestselling memoir, “Not My Father’s Son.” Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of “Shuggie Bain” called “Baggage,” “an intimate look at the making of a man, an actor, an advocate — and most importantly — a happy human being. A wonderful book that is funny, honest, fearless, and generous in its vulnerability.”

Palm Beach County’s public-school teachers and staff members are being recognized for their exemplary service during extraordinary times through Roots and Wings’ Above and Beyond awards program.

Now presenting awards at 18 schools in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach, Roots and Wings has provided its award bags and certificates to over 1200 school employees since 2016. Ted Hoskinson, Roots and Wings’ Founder, and Michael Coleman, Executive Director will present awards to six faculty members and a non-teaching staff member at Orchard View Elementary School, 4050 Old Germantown Road, Delray Beach, FL on Friday, March 4, 9:00 a.m.

Hacker Dermatology sponsors Roots and Wings’s Above and Beyond Awards at Orchard View Elementary School.

Twice a year, teachers at participating schools nominate their peers based on different criteria. Principals and administrators oversee the nominations and designate the faculty and staff members to be honored. The award includes a canvas “Dedicated Educator” tote bag containing $100 in cash for the purchase of classroom supplies and personal needs, a framed Above and Beyond Award certificate, nearly $1,300 worth of gift cards, as well as gift certificates and food items donated by area restaurants and service providers.

“This helps ensure that the teachers are

not put in the position of using their own funds when kids come to school without essential learning materials such as pens, pencils, erasers, paper and snacks,” Hoskinson said in a statement. “Some kids are left out of classroom birthday celebrations unless treats are provided by the teacher.” he said.

Expressing support for the program, Jamie Wyatt, Instructional Superintendent, South Elementary 1, School District of Palm Beach County says, “Roots and Wings has been an incredible educational partner to our schools. The Above and Beyond Program has made an indelible impact, creating a sense of pride and accomplishment for our teachers and staff.”

FAU Softball Sweeps St. John’s

The FAU softball team improved to 8-9 on the 2022 season with a doubleheader sweep over St. John’s on Tuesday.

The Owls’ bats exploded for 10 runs in game one, then Gabby Sacco pitched a complete game shutout in game two as FAU won, 4-0.

FAU jumped on St. John’s early in game one with two runs the first inning.

With two on and two out in the first, Zoey Jones blasted an RBI double to right center field that bounced off the top of the wall, nearly missing a home run. In the second inning, Sara Berthiaume hit an RBI triple to center, then scored on an infield base hit from Riley Ennis.

The Owls blew open the game with six in the second inning, highlighted by an opposite field home run off the bat of Riley Olson. Olson’s first career roundtripper made it an 8-0 ballgame.

early in game two with two more runs in the first inning. Berthiaume launched an RBI double to center to make it 1-0. The next batter was Lynn Gardner, who replaced Berthiaume with an RBI double of herself to stretch the lead to 2-0.

Kaitlyn Cunningham worked a bases loaded walk in the second, then Berthiaume knocked in a run with an RBI sacrifice fly.

That turned out to be more than enough for Sacco in the circle. The freshman right-hander went the distance for her first career shutout and surrendered only three hits. She tallied a career-high nine strikeouts and walked only one batter.

The Owls will host the FAU Parents’ and Family Weekend Tournament this weekend. The Owls’ first game of the tournament will be against Purdue on March 4.
