FAU’s Soon-To-Be Doctors “Match” Amid Florida’s Physician Shortfall Florida Atlantic University ‘s soon-to-be doctors have matched for their residencies and are one-step closer to becoming board-certified physicians. With a 100 percent residency placement in post-graduate training programs, FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine ‘s class of 2022 is helping to address a national need to bolster the physician workforce. In Florida alone, the state is expected to be short nearly 18,000 physicians by 2035. Training and residency programs are imperative to provide care to Florida’s population of nearly 22 million.

Today, the 64 members of the class of 2022 participated in “Match Day,” which occurs nationally on the third Friday of March every year.

COMMUNITY 2022 Mother’s Day Week Kicks Off FPL Welcomes Second Class of With Tri-County Animal Rescue’s Startups into 35 Mules Innovation Second Annual “Bark & Brunch” Hub Creating the “paw-fect” time to celebrate “pup-loving” moms, Tri-County Animal Rescue (TCAR) kicks off the 2022 Mother’s Day week by applauding and pampering these devoted moms and their fur babies at TCAR’s second annual Moms & Pups “Bark & Brunch,” on Sunday, May 1 at The Addison. Proceeds from the elegant, outdoor “fun and fund” raiser, held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will help address a timely growing community wellness need. The monies raised will increase TCAR’s Medical Fund that subsidizes low-cost, full-service veterinary and animal hospital services at TCAR for pet owners who are financially challenged or experiencing economic setbacks due to Covid-and other employment challenges, as well as first responders.

To support their Boca Raton community’s only animal rescue shelter, “Bark & Brunch” attendees will enjoy an open-air, courtyard plated brunch and festivities for Pup Moms, their pups who are guests and their families and friends. Plans include a welcome reception with “Bark Bars” with free-flowing Bloody Marys and Bellinis, a delicious doggie treat buffet, Mom & Pooch photo ops, luxury lifestyle “Chances to Win” opportunities, Mother’s Day boutique gift shopping, prizes and surprises and live music. High-profile Boca Raton Pup Moms will be honored that day who have long advocated for pet rescue and support of TCAR; 2022 honorary co-chairs are 2021 honorees Marta Batmasian, Andrea Kline and Constance Scott. The luncheon emcee is a former Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and a proud TCAR Rescue Pup Mom Toni May. This “Bark & Brunch” fundraiser has become an ideal way to launch Mother’s Day week for so many pup parents by increasing the nonprofit’s Medical Fund reserves that help provide low-cost surgeries, xrays, ultrasounds, dental care, etc. at its state-of-the-art, oncampus clinic to loving pet owners who are experiencing financial difficulties. Wellness, surgical and treatment services are provided on a pet owner’s demonstrated “ability to pay” because TCAR believes that all pets should remain healthy in their homes, not be forced to neglect treatable medical and dental issues that can escalate out of control causing unnecessary pain and loss or even surrendered to shelters due to lack of funds.

As one of the largest regional 100% No-Kill, 501C (3), nonprofit animal shelters, TCAR is dedicated to rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing unwanted petsin Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. Since its inception, TCAR, a four-star rated Chari-

ty Navigator nonprofit for seven consecutive years, has saved over 78,000 domestic animals from being euthanized, providing a safe haven until each rescue is given the chance to live the rest of their lives as treasured pets.

The 2022 “Bark & Brunch” Host Committee includes Peg Anderson, Marta Batmasian, Patricia Carpenter, Alisa Cohen, Francesca Daniels, Sharon DiPietro, Patricia Duch, Ingrid Fulmer, Suzi Goldsmith, Sue Heller, Gwen Herb, Arlene Herson, Gloria Hosh, Bonnie Kaye, Jon Kaye, Dyana Kenney, Suzanne Klein, Andrea Kline, Dr. Allen Konis, Lise Orr, Lynda Palmer, Linda Petrakis, Pam Polani, Constance Scott, Robin Trompeter, Lisa VanderPloeg, Robert Weinroth and Teri Wolofsky.

SMG Delivering Data uses highly skilled manned pilots and drones, outfitted with proprietary LiDAR technology, sensors and cameras to collect ultra-high-resolution datasets turning physical assets into digital models.

“It was incredibly difficult to choose startups for this cohort given the quality and diversity of applications we received from innovators around the world,” said FPL Chairman and CEO Eric Silagy. “We selected these startups because of their remarkable technologies, strong leadership qualities and capacity to grow significantly – all of which allows them to greatly benefit from 35 Mules. I look forward to witnessing these startups make significant strides in their businesses to help create a better world.”

The 35 Mules innovation hub helps entrepreneurs develop their innovative, technologically driven ideas into a business based in Florida, further supporting the state’s economic growth and building its business ecosystem.

The program offers entrepreneurs access to NextEra Energy subject-matter experts, Fortune 200 executive coaching, a tailored business curriculum, $100,000 cash grant and dedicated, rent-free workspace.

The incubator is one of the ways FPL continues to demonstrate its commitment to grow and foster businesses in Florida, both new and existing. The program offers new businesses the opportunity to reach their potential as they partner with a leader in the energy industry, creating the next generation of great innovators right here in Florida.

FAU’s Soon-To-Be Doctors “Match” Palm Beach Symphony Recognizes Amid Florida’s Physician Shortfall Outstanding Local Music Students With Lisa Bruna B-Major Award Honors

Florida Atlantic University ’s soon-to-be doctors have matched for their residencies and are one-step closer to becoming board-certified physicians. With a 100 percent residency placement in post-graduate training programs, FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine ’s class of 2022 is helping to address a national need to bolster the physician workforce. In Florida alone, the state is expected to be short nearly 18,000 physicians by 2035.

Training and residency programs are imperative to provide care to Florida’s population of nearly 22 million.

Today, the 64 members of the class of 2022 participated in “Match Day,” which occurs nationally on the third Friday of March every year where the results of the National Resident Matching Program (NMRP) are announced. Results of the Main Residency Match are closely watched because they can predict future changes in the physician workforce.

At noon, along with other physicians-to-be around the country, FAU’s class of 2022 opened their sealed envelopes containing their residency match results.

“I am so excited that we are all here together in person today for the first time since 2019 to celebrate one of our most special occasions,” said Julie Pilitsis, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., dean and vice president of medical affairs, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine. “As my first Match Day as dean, I couldn’t be more proud of your achievements and successes and the bright future ahead of you as you embark on a new journey. No matter where your matches take you, please remember that you will forever remain connected to our College of Medicine community. Congratulations, class of 2022.”

The composition of the class of 2022 is 46 percent female and 54 percent male; and 20 percent of the class are underrepresented minorities in medicine.

In line with the medical school’s mission, approximately 30 percent of the class of 2022 will conduct their residency in Florida. Twenty of the 64 members of the class will specialize in primary care including family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics. Despite the pandemic, seven of the 64 members of the class of 2022 matched in emergency medicine. The class also matched in other highly specialized fields that are among the most competitive in the match process, including internal medicine/pediatrics, dermatology, orthopedic surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmology, and neurological surgery, among others.

“Match Day is one of the most unique and nerve-wracking rites of passage in the journey to becoming a doctor,” said Sarah K. Wood, M.D., senior associate dean for medical education, Schmidt College of Medicine. “The knowledge and skills you have developed as well as your accomplishments during your time at FAU are badges of honor that you will carry with you always. You make us proud and I know that you will continue to be exceptional ambassadors for our very special medical school.”

In addition to matching for their residencies, some members of the class of 2022 had a different type of match – a “couple’s match.”

Among them are Alison Kohn, who matched in dermatology at the University of South FlorMarch 25 - March 31, 2022

ida and Michael Kucharik, who matched in orthopedic surgery also at the University of South Florida.

“Class of 2022, over the last few years you challenged yourself in learning all that you could, you questioned in order to master material, and you pushed beyond your comfort zones to achieve excellence and to maintain continued growth,” said Jennifer Caceres, M.D., senior associate dean for student affairs and admissions.

“In the midst of all this, you dealt with multi-faceted uncertainties and even some fears within and beyond our nation. Your leadership qualities demonstrated through the initiatives you have taken to serve our community assures me that you will go out there and make that difference you dreamed of when you first applied to medical school. Go forward in confidence that you are ready.”

Among the various Florida institutions where FAU’s class of 2022 placed are Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education in Jacksonville; University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine in Tampa; University of Miami/Jackson Health System in Miami; Memorial Healthcare System, Pembroke Pines; University of Florida College of Medicine - Shands Hospital, Gainesville; and FAU. The class of 2022 also placed in several top institutions nationally, including Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta; Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston; New YorkPresbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center in New York; University of Chicago; Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education in Jacksonville; and UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In addition, on Match Day, 43 outstanding graduating medical students from diverse backgrounds throughout the nation matched into FAU’s residency programs in internal medicine (24), surgery (six), emergency medicine (six), psychiatry (four) and neurology (three). FAU’s fellowships also welcomed new trainees in cardiovascular disease, geriatric medicine, and hospice and palliative medicine.

“FAU’s categorical residency programs matched for all of our available residency positions within five programs, despite Florida having unmatched positions in these same specialties except for surgery,” said Curtis L. Whitehair, M.D., associate dean for graduate medical education and the designated institutional official, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine. “For emergency medicine alone, which has 67 programs nationally, there were approximately 217 unfilled positions in the United States and Florida had 38 unfilled positions on the first day of match week. Michigan had the most unfilled spots at 46 for emergency medicine, followed by Florida with 38 unfilled positions.”

The NRMP uses a computer algorithm, developed in 1952 by Nobel Prize-winning economist Alvin Roth, to place students in the program that they prefer. Each residency program at a hospital has a fixed number of first-year positions that they can fill each year based on their accreditation. Leading up to the big day, each student lists in order of preference the residency program that he or she seeks to work with and each residency program then ranks its applicants in order of its own preferences.

Palm Beach Symphony recognized Santaluces High School senior Dion Sellitti with the 2021-22 Lisa B-Major Award.

The Boynton Beach resident will receive a Selmer Paris Series II Jubilee model baritone saxophone as part of the program that awards an advanced level instrument that can be used for college auditions and to launch a lifetime in music.

Sellitti has represented Palm Beach in the FBA All-County Bands, All-County Jazz Bands and All-State Symphonic Bands. He has passed preliminary auditions at the University of Miami where he may one day study with Palm Beach Symphony Music Director Gerard Schwarz. Sellitti says his goals are to earn?a master’s degree in performance and potentially join one of the Armed Forces Bands.

Tyler Nunziato, Sellitti’s band director, nominated him for the award writing “Dion is an extremely motivated, passionate, and dedicated student of the performing arts.

Not only is he extremely talented and well-rounded as a musician, but his goal is to always help others reach and tap into the potential that other students have, regardless of age, section or ensemble they are in.”

The announcement of the winner was made in the glamorous Venetian Ballroom at the iconic Breakers Palm Beach during the sold-out Palm Beach Symphony 20th Annual Gala. Sellitti delighted the gala guests by performing Bach’s Cello Suite #1 Gigue. He performed on his baritone saxophone from school as his advanced level instrument from Paris has been delayed by shipping issues.

Wellington resident Ellen Dahlstrom was honored as runner up. A student at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, she has received Solo & Ensemble Superior Awards.

Like her father Todd, who is a Symphony Board Member, she is committed to others and started Young Musicians of the Palm Beaches to give student musicians in Palm Beach County paid performance opportunities in the community. She has held several positions in the high school’s band department including librarian, vice president and president. She received a Howarth XLVT Grenadilla wood professional oboe as her prize which she can use as she pursues her plans in classical music and attend one

www.bocaratontribune.com

of the nation’s renowned conservatories.

The honorees were determined by audition with finalists participating in an interview and playing two contrasting musical works before of a panel of judges. Both students worked closely with Palm Beach Symphony to identify, test and select their ideal instrument.

Sellitti and Dahlstrom will take part in a free outdoor concert at Meyer Amphitheater on Saturday, May 21 with Palm Beach Symphony musicians and students from the Dreyfoos School of the Arts.

Nominations will reopen in the fall for next year’s awards. Eligible students must be current high school seniors in the fall and in good academic standing who are planning to enter a music degree program at a university or institution of higher learning. Nominations are accepted from music teachers and private instructors and are judged upon the nominee’s accomplishments and activities (academic, musical and in the community), future musical plans and financial need.

The Palm Beach Symphony’s education programs are made possible through support from The Paul and Sandra Goldner Conservatory of Music, Lois Pope, the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, Mr. William Robertson, James R. Borynack and Adolfo Zaralegui/Findlay Galleries, Eric Friedheim Foundation, Inc. and The Mary Hilem Taylor Foundation.

The Lachman Family Foundation, Patrick and Milly Park, Felicia Taylor/The Mary Hilem Taylor Foundation, DeLuca Foundation, Leonard and Norma Klorfine Foundation, Charles and Ann Johnson/The C and A Johnson Family Foundation, Patricia Lambrecht, Dodie and Manley Thaler and the Thaler/Howell Foundation, NetJets, Lugano Diamonds, Findlay Galleries, HSS Florida, PNC Private Bank, The Colony Hotel, Related Companies, Provident Jewelry, IYC, Palm Beach Design Masters, Braman Motorcars, CIBC Private Wealth, and Gent Row LLC are proud sponsors of Palm Beach Symphony. Programs are also sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.

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 at-risk 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, prepared 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.

Happy Thanksgiving.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Everybody Needs Self-Improvement!

Life will take you only as far as you are prepared to go. Sadly, too many people miss the challenge and the privilege of excelling in what they do, simply because they put limitations in their abilities and barriers to new frontiers!

Those, however, who recognize that there is much more to life than what is obvious before one’s eyes, will make every effort to continue advancing into new ventures, creating new projects, making valid new contributions to much that can benefit from their input!

Contemporary author and speaker, March 25 - March 31, 2022

Jon Acuff, wisely addressed this important issue, when he challenged: “You can’t be anything you want, but you can be something even better: the best version of you.”

In attempting to meet this achievable possibility, learn to offer an emphatic no to anything that might deceive you, and impede the realization of positive challenges you had committed yourself to with an unequivocal yes!

Throughout life you face a continual series of great possibilities which can lead you forward instead of keeping you paralyzed and incapable of advancing.

Satisfaction with mediocrity will never bring anyone to achievement, and that condition will be the portion of any person disinterested in experiencing self-improvement.

At the same time it’s imperative that you also learn to recognize and remedy personal signs of decay long before they become a fatal reality. Be observant of where you are, where you are heading, how you may conquer certain fears and inevitable challenges, besides the ways of overcoming other conditions which can easily turn out into obstacles that would prevent

or prolong your diligent attempts!

Never limit your self-improvement to one aspect of your life only; attempt to get better in every area of your being, by acting comprehensively in your personal search for the best! Take to heart the challenge of some branch of our Armed Forces which states: “The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.” It’s action, not inactivity; it’s decisiveness, not hesitation; it’s courage, not fear, that demonstrate self-improvement in one’s self, and in the final product envisioned!

Bijouxi Contemporary 2022 at the Boca Raton Museum of Art March 23 – March 26, 2022 The Boca Raton Museum of Art presents Bijoux! Contemporary 2022, Palm Beach County’s favorite international exhibition, sale, and fundraiser devoted exclusively to artistmade jewelry, featuring guest artist Iris Apfel.

The exhibition will be installed in the Museum’s Grand Hall and open to the public March 23 26, 2022 from 11AM to 5PM. Jewelry has been worn for thousands of years to ornate, protect, and distinguish men and women all around the world. Its meanings and symbols are as diverse as human culture itself.

According to Donna Schneier, founder of Bijoux!, “If there is a secret to the event’s success, it is our great eye for selecting artists that come from an array of cultures.” With artists from the United States, Israel, Brazil, Argentina, France, and other countries, Bijoux! offers the public a chance to see these one-ofa-kind works of wearable art from all around the globe, but also to purchase the pieces from the artists themselves, providing a rare opportunity to meet them and learn more about their creative process.

Twenty-two artists will present a selection of different materials and techniques, from pieces inspired by ancient cultures and blacksmithing to artworks that explore the intersection between botanical and industrial design.

In addition, the iconic Iris Apfel, once called by the Metropolitan Museum of Art “one of the most vivacious personalities in the worlds

of fashion, textiles, and interior design,” will present a selection of her extensive collection for visitors to view and purchase.

At the Friends Breakfast Preview (Museum Members: $25, Non-Members: $45) on Wednesday, March 23, guest curator Jennifer Scanlan will provide an introduction to the artists, and guests will have the opportunity to view and purchase jewelry before Bijoux! opens to the public. The Thursday, March 24 conversation with distinguished collector and designer Apfel is sold out.

“We are proud to host, for the first time in Boca Raton, Bijoux! a celebration of jewelry as an art form. This five-day exhibition and sale provides a rare opportunity to meet and acquire works of art directly from its creators.

Proceeds benefit the artists and support the Museum’s educational programs,” says Irvin Lippman, Executive Director.

“ALINA Residences is pleased to continue its partnership with the Museum as a sponsor of Bijoux! Contemporary 2022 and host the Artists’ Welcome Reception at our world-class residential destination in the heart of Boca Raton,” said Noam Ziv, CEO of El-Ad National.

“This international jewelry event demonstrates the growing energy and excitement of Boca Raton’s emerging downtown scene, brimming with world-class culture, dining, and shopping that we are proud to be a part of.”

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?

Young Woman, 22, Killed in Boat Crash By: Ali Sandoval Lindsey Partridge, a young, 22-year-old woman, had passed away in a boat crash while boating her boyfriend in Boca Raton.

Her family was interviewed, and spoke about her energy and her love of life.

“She had such a full life,” said her mother, Jessie Partridge.

Over the weekend, Lindsey had traveled to Palm Beach County to g o boating with her boyfriend in the Boca Inlet, only about 150 yards offshore, according to WPBF 25 News.

Lindsey called her dad from the boat, happy and content.

“They were having fun. And they were really excited,” Donald Patridge said.

Not too long after the call, the boat crashed and Lindsey was killed.

“They went out, and a big wave hit them,” said Jessie. “She was thrown from the boat. She had a fatal injury to the back

March 25 - March 31, 2022

of her head.”

Shortly after, police arrived at the family’s home in New Hampshire saying they needed to tell her parents about Lindsey’s unexpected passing.

“He says, ‘I have an officer on the phone from Florida who’s going to tell you a series of events that have happened,’” Donald said, crying. “’Is she OK?’ He says, ‘No, she died.’”

Lindsey worked as a sales consultant at the dealership, and Toyota of Nashua honored her in a social media post.

The post said Lidnsey was “a presence who brightened every room she walked into” and “a beautiful soul who will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.”

At this time there are no further updates.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the incident.

PBSC to hold inaugural Humanities Arts Fest March 25 Palm Beach State College will host an inaugural Humanities Arts Fest on the Lake Worth campus from 6:30 to 9 p.m. March 25 to showcase to the community the work that PBSC students and faculty do in the visual and performing arts arenas.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place on the first floor of the Humanities Building and include theatrical and musical performances, film screenings, demonstrations in visual art, graphic and interior design and more.

There will also be displays and a perfor-

mance by PBSC’s Drumline. Refreshments will also be served.

“I believe that the PBSC community and local arts enthusiasts will be blown away by our talent and maturity that we showcase in our performances and through our artwork,” said professor David Gibble, PBSC’s music department chair who helped organize the event.

A flyer/poster for the event was designed by student Scharie Flores and the event logo (pictured above) was designed by student Anell Velazquez.

5 Must-Have Items for Your Spring Camping Trip (StatePoint) The spring camping season is here and it’s time to get ready. These five must-have items are not only compact, they’ll ensure you have fun and make the most of your trip: 1. Rest and relaxation: After a day of vigorous activity, you deserve to put your feet up. And there is no better way to relax than with a hammock. Hammocks that come with their own stand offer super easy set-up, instantaneously turning your campgrounds into a home away from home.

2. Tech support: Whether your daytime excursions include fishing, hiking or rappelling, wearable tech can support your adventures. The ProTrek PRT-B50 Series of watches feature a compass, an altitude/ barometer and temperature measurements so you can stay oriented and safe. For those tracking their fitness goals, calories burned and step count offer valuable metrics that are recorded by the ProTrek Connected app. The app also offers a lineup of useful

tools for the outdoors, including a Trekking Log that plots altitude points along the trail, and a Location Indicator, to help you track your route from pinned locations.

3. Delicious snacks: For a delicious evening snack, don’t forget supplies for

S’mores. To simplify your packing, get a kit that comes with all the ingredients and tools you need for gooey goodness, including roasting sticks. All you need to provide is the campfire.

4. Music makers: Speaking of campfires,

the best nights under the stars are those accompanied by music. To shake things up a bit, bring along a portable keyboard, like the Casiotone CT-S200. This ultra-compact model is powered by six AA batteries and features a built-in carrying handle and speakers, so you make music wherever and whenever you want. Weighing less than 8 pounds and small enough to fit into a slightly oversized backpack, it’s the perfect instrument for on-the-go adventures.

5. Streamlined entry: National Park Pass: Frequent campers should not leave home without a National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass. Covering entrance, standard amenity fees and day use fees for a driver and all passengers in a personal vehicle, it’s a cost-effective way to enjoy over 2,000 national parks and wildlife refuges nationwide.

As you ease into the camping season, gear up with supplies that make every adventure amazing.

Fun Easter Basket Alternatives to Candy (StatePoint) Looking to fill your child’s Easter basket with something a bit different this year? Unlike candy, these fun and engaging gift ideas will last well beyond the holiday: • Expand their library: Grow your child’s library with books that expand their horizons. For example, “100 Words About Places I Go,” is an interactive learning book featuring words in English and Spanish. Ten touch-sensitive locations on each page teach about words, colors and counting in the context of 12 unique places, like the beach, the farm, the amusement park and more. Another title to consider is the “100 Animals Book,” which introduces children to animals from the desert, savanna, rainforest and more through illustrations, photographs and fun facts that promote early science awareness. Finally, the “Learning Friends 100 Words Book” introducers little learners to words about food, nature, opposites and more.

• Make crafting happen: Kids’ crafting kits can boost creativity and spur your child’s artistic side. And there are many options that are perfect for celebrating the spring season, from gardening kits to bird feeder painting kits to terrariums.

• Create learning fun: With no web connection, downloads or account setup required, kids can get right to the fun with LeapLand Adventures, a unique plug-and-play TV video game adventure for early learners from LeapFrog. With 15 replayable levels introducing curricuPlus

lum-based content and important foundational skills, preschoolers will enjoy going on a quest across LeapLand to learn about letters, numbers, shapes and colors.

• “Adopt” an animal: You can introduce children to an important cause in a

way they can understand through a “symbolic adoption” from the World Wildlife Fund. Adoption kits, which support efforts to protect animals in the wild, come with a plush toy, a photograph, an adoption certificate, and a species card con-

www.bocaratontribune.com

taining fascinating facts about the animal and its habitat.

This year, think beyond the typical Easter basket selections and opt for memorable gifts that enrich the mind and connect kids to the world around them.

Delivery Dudes Presents American Humane with $5,000 Donation Delivery Dudes, the only locally born food delivery service, presented American Humane with a $5,000 donation today at the humane organization’s special Escape from Extinction event in Palm Beach.

The donation was a result of Delivery Dudes participation in the viral #BettyWhiteChallenge on social media, asking her fans to help animal shelters. The company donated a portion of its delivery fees January 16-17 to help commemorate the legendary actress. Betty White would have turned 100 on January 17.

Due to the success of the campaign, Delivery Dudes presented the donation check today at a ceremony at Cafe Boulud at Brazilian Court, the site of American Humane’s brunch.

“Along with our generous customers and great restaurant partners, we are grateful for the opportunity to honor and celebrate the inspirational life of Betty White, famous for her commitment to the health and safety of animals,” said Chris Leary, Director of Operations.

White, known as an animal lover and advocate, died on December 31 and repeatedly said, “Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I’ve devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.”

“We are honored to be presented with this gift by the Delivery Dudes in tribute of Betty White. For nearly a century, Betty was a tireless and devoted animal welfare advocate, helping millions

of animals through her efforts,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, president & CEO of American Humane. “Because of her powerful voice and the devotion of those who took part in the #BettyWhiteChallenge, her legacy of love will continue to touch the lives of those with whom we

Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program Graduate Shyra Johnson Becomes Youngest Certified Sports Agent in History Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program graduate Shyra Johnson recently passed the 2022 National Basketball Players Association Agent Certification Exam, becoming the youngest certified sports agent in history. At 21, the Florida Atlantic University alumna beat out former position holder Drew Rosenhaus.

Developed in 2017 by Boca Raton philanthropists Aubrey and Sally Strul in partnership with FAU President John Kelly and First Lady Carolyn Kelly, The Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program offers academically talented, first-generation, low-income high school seniors the opportunity to attend FAU and graduate, debt-free. Each scholar follows “The Path,” a 17-step program, which includes wraparound services supporting successful collegiate careers and post-graduate lives, such as career planning, mentoring, and financial literacy, among others. The program now boasts thirteen graduates and has grown to include nearly 60 scholars.

Johnson, who founded and serves as CEO of Team Empire Sports, graduated last year with her bachelor’s in business administration and management and is currently enrolled in FAU’s MBA program in sports management.

She is a founder of the nonprofit Sports Busi-

ness Network and gives back to the Kelly/Strul program as a First-Generation Retention Specialist. While an undergraduate, the Kelly/Strul scholar worked as a client relations manager at Green Sports Management, a sports agency specializing in athlete management and partnership marketing, and was an intern at ESPN. “The Kelly/Strul program’s financial and academic support provided me with the ability to completely focus on pursuing my dreams,” Johnson said. “I am actively changing the trajectory of my family’s destiny and hope to inspire other first-generation students and young women interested in a career in sports.”

In 1989, Rosenhaus made history when he became a registered sports agent at age 22.

Since then, he has negotiated over $7 billion in contracts and is the only agent ever to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Johnson said surpassing Rosenhaus as the youngest registered sports agent in history is just the start of her journey.

“Shyra is a trailblazer and a shining example of what outstanding scholars can achieve when given the opportunities they deserve,” Aubrey Strul said. “It has been a true joy watching her grow into a confident, accomplished young woman. For Shyra, the sky is the limit.”

We are excited to have them join our team.”

Boynton Beach to Feature Outdoor Exhibition of Sculptures and Banners by Local Artists Montoya and Ortiz Beginning on Saturday, April 2, the City of Boynton Beach’s Public Art program, BoyntonArts, will feature artwork from local artists Luis Montoya and Leslie Ortiz in Downtown Boynton. This free outdoor exhibition, which includes eight sculptures and 24 banners with photographs, will be displayed throughout the City’s ‘Avenue of the Arts’ on E. Ocean Ave. between Seacrest Blvd. and Federal Highway through September 2022. Selfguided tour maps will be available for download on the City’s website; printed copies will be available for pickup at nearby City facilities including City Hall, the Library and the Arts & Cultural Center.

The West Palm Beach artist team of Montoya and Ortiz is one of the very rare visual art collaborations. They have worked together for more than 30 years to create both sculptures and individual paintings, many of which have been featured at many art fairs throughout the state, including Art Palm Beach and Art Miami.

Sculptures Six of the exhibition’s sculptures come from the Alternative Fuels series and Montoya’s abstract work from the 1990s.

Alternative Fuels features compositions of oil and gas containers or the sug gestion that fruits and vegetables are generating a liquid fuel from a spigot at the bottom of a beverag e dispenser made of bronze.

Montoya’s early sculptures are steel totems with angular geometric cuts and shapes. Many of them are made from “corten,” which gives the steel an even, thin layer of protective rust.

The two additional sculptures that will complete the exhibition (tomato sculptures) were created specifically for Boynton Beach. They are part of the artists’ ongoing series of vegetable sculptures, and were selected by BoyntonArts in part to recognize the role tomatoes played as Boynton Beach’s first significant cash crop for settlers in the late 19th and much of the 20th centuries. Well-known historic photos, part of the City Library’s robust digital collection, show the packing sheds on the canals and near the railroad station.

Banners The 24 banners that will line E. March 25 - March 31, 2022

www.bocaratontribune.com

Ocean Ave will serve as an outdoor sculpture catalog. The photographs on the 30 x 60 inch banners show representative works from the artists’ major series: Emprendedoras, Tapas, Fruta de Mar, Culinary Adventures and Alternative Fuels.

The Avenue of the Arts is located within walking distance of the City’s new Town Square, a recent re-development project that includes a new City Hall, Library, Arts & Cultural Center and the historic Schoolhouse Children’s Museum.

“We are thrilled to feature the artwork of Montoya and Ortiz for the 10th Avenue of the Arts exhibition,” said Glenn Weiss, Public Arts Manager. “The artwork will powerfully connect with visitors, solidifying Boynton Beach as an arts destination that no doubt will contribute to the City’s economic development and branding.”

About the Artists: Montoya was born in Spain to a family of artists. By the early 1970s, he completed his BFA and MFA from Madrid’s School of Fine Arts of San Fernando and was showing his work in Europe.

Ortiz is a native of West Palm Beach, and holds degrees in Fine Arts from Boston University and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Ortiz joined Montoya as an assistant in 1985 and together, they began their collaboration in 1994.

About Boynton Arts: Boynton Arts is the new brand for the City of Boynton Beach’s Public Art Program. The Program is funded through the Art in Public Places ordinance that requires new construction projects greater than $250,000 to purchase and install public artwork on their property or contribute 1% of the construction cost to the Public Art Fund for installation of permanent and temporary public art in the city. BoyntonArts produces the Kinetic Biennial, the Boynton Sculpture Show, the new Boynton Mural Program and exhibitions in the Arts & Cultural Center gallery. The City’s appointed Arts Advisory Board develops the BoyntonArts programs and approves public art by private owners for the Art in Public Places ordinance. For more information, contact the City’s Public Art Manager, Glenn Weiss, at 561-742-6026 or weissg@bbfl.us.

Clinics Can Help Hosts Impact of the Palm Beaches for Tours and Announcement of New Service

3-30

3-31

COME BY

On the morning of February 16, 2022, members of Impact the Palm Beaches toured Clinics Can Help for light bites, tours and most importantly, to unveil the new Clinics Can Help Mobile Unit. The first of its kind in South Florida, The CCH Mobile Unit will help to bridge the gap for those in acute need of medical equipment, but without easy access due to immobility. Thanks to a $100,000 grant from Impact the Palm Beaches, Clinics Can Help was able to purchase the unit, which will be staffed by a Physical Therapist who will be able to assess and train clients on the use of the equipment provided. The goal is to create a tipping point in healthcare that will allow residents in our community the mobility, independence, and the dignity they deserve.

Clinics Can Help anticipates the Mobile Unit will serve 300 additional children and adults annually and has an intentional focus on serving children with special needs. They expect by year five they will have delivered services to 1,500

children and adults with the ultimate goal of getting people out of bed, returned to school and work, and back into their communities as quickly and safely as possible.

This additional clinical support minimizes risks associated with improper equipment use, promoting faster healer, increases chances of recovery and giving people improved mobility, independence, and dignity. For example, providing appropriately fitted braces to an infant with cerebral palsy drastically improves the chances the child will be able to walk by preventing deformities.

Crutches used correctly can dramatically reduce the healing time of musculoskeletal injuries getting an adult back to work in less time; and older adults prone to pneumonia and falls after hospitalizations benefit from devices intended to open lung bases and safety mobility devices such as walkers.

Schmidt College of Science. “Thanks to the support from our partners inside and outside of FAU, we can collectively recognize the importance of inclusion and belonging and show that we all share this value.

We hope students, faculty, staff and community members experience new perspectives, learn

from the experts, and discover all the opportunities FAU offers both in the sciences and across the university. It is through this mutual exchange of ideas, experiences and perspectives that we sustain the depth of our learning.”

The purpose of the Diversity in Science Festival is to augment the mission of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives within the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. Wilcox established the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee to nurture a teaching, learning and research environment where diversity, equity and inclusion are highly valued and respected.

“We hope the festival will help create opportunities and platforms for all members of the college to facilitate the realization of the core principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said Yanmei Li, Ph.D, associate professor and college administrative fellow for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the College of Science. “The festival also provides our faculty, staff and students an opportunity to come together and celebrate diversity and embrace everyone’s identity and heritage.”

JWF’s Investing in Women Luncheon Raises Over $200,000 in Support of Social Change for Women and Girls The Jewish Women’s Foundation of the Greater Palm Beaches held the 2nd annual Investing in Women Luncheon on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, Florida and raised almost $200,000 from attendees and sponsors in support of women and girls.

With a little over 200 guests in attendance, the event opened with an hour long shopping experience featuring pop-up boutiques set up by several women owned businesses including Daniella Ortiz, Sarah’s Slow Jam and more. Proceeds from purchases during the event went to benefit JWF. Guests then entered the Kravis Center’s beautifully decorated Cohen Pavilion Ballroom where they enjoyed a delicious Mediterranean meal prepared by The Breakers Catering , while listening to the presentations of the day.

Opening speeches were delivered by JWF CEO Jennifer Kryshka and Event Chair Hope Silverman before awarding Trustee and longtime JWF supporter Vivian Lieberman with the Eileen Berman Leadership Award. Trustee and Board Member Caryn Stevens gave a heartwarming speech and presented Trustee and Young Leaders Society Alumna Sarah A Cohen with the first-ever Rising Star Leadership

Award. The keynote speech was delivered by James Beard Award winning Chef and Restaurateur Michelle Bernstein who spoke about the need for financial literacy, female empowerment in the workplace and the challenges of being female in a male dominated industry.

JWF, whose mission is to create long-lasting social change to advance the status of all women and girls in the US and Israel, has a focus in 2022 on increasing economic security and empowerment of women. All proceeds from the Investing in Women Luncheon benefit the organization’s programs, events and grants and allows the foundation to recognize the passionate dedication and hard work of their trustees and honor the members who spread JWFs core message “It is our pleasure and honor to award both Vivian Lieberman and Sarah A. Cohen with much-deserved designations this year, and to welcome Chef Bernstein as an inspiring keynote speaker,” said Jennifer Kryshka, CEO of the Jewish Women’s Foundation of the Greater Palm Beaches. “All of these women exemplify the phrase ‘women empowering women’ as they work every day to support the Jewish community and advocate for women and girls.”

Junior League of the Palm Beaches’ Funding Opportunities Are Now Open The Junior League of the Palm Beaches (JLPB) has two funding opportunities available – the Community Assistance Grants and High School Scholarships – for nonprofit organizations and high school students, respectively. Both funding opportunities are awarded to those that have demonstrated components of JLPB’s mission: promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

Nonprofit organizations have until March 31, 2022, to apply for the Community Assistance Grant program and selected grantees may receive up to $3,500 in financial aid toward a program or project. High school students have until April 4, 2022, to apply for the $2,500 scholarship. The High School Scholarship funds are earmarked to help cover any student expenses for high school seniors who plan to attend college in the fall.

“We welcome all nonprofit organizations and high school students who share our mission to apply for the Community Assistance Grants and High School Scholarship,” said Alexandra Chase, president of JLPB. “We are honored to provide these groups the funds they need to help them implement Community

www.bocaratontribune.com

new programs and initiatives into their organizations and get a head start on any college expenses.”

JLPB has awarded more than $135,000 to support community organizations through its Community Assistance Grant program, which was established in 1992. In the 2020-2021 year of giving, JLPB gave $21,841 to the community as well as 2,400+ hours volunteered through over 140 community programs and events.

JLPB’s impact on the Palm Beach community began in 1941 when 15 community-minded women established what was then called The Junior Welfare League. Today, JLPB remains an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of its 600 trained volunteers who collectively dedicate more than 2,000 hours of service each year.

Nonprofit organizations will know if they have been selected to receive a grant by May 1, 2022. For more information on or to apply for the Community Assistance Grant or the High School Scholarships, please visit https://www. jlpb.org/community/ or call 561.689.7590.

To be eligible for this prestigious award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award® focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Midway through this regular season, the Senior CLASS Award® list of 30 will be narrowed down to 10, and a nationwide voting system will be disseminated to media, coaches and fans. One candidate will be selected who best exemplifies the four C’s (community, classroom, character and competition).
