FAU Harbor Branch Researchers Receive First FAU Research Cores Internal Pilot (RCIP) Grant Boca Raton, FL – Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute recently received the first FAU Research Cores Internal Pilot (RCIP) Grant to support water sample nutrient analysis project with FAU’s Research Cores Water Analysis Lab (WAL) facility.

The awarded funding will be used by researchers Megan Davis, Ph.D., research professor; Paul Wills, Ph.D., research professor and associate director for research; and Jordon Beckler, Ph.D., assistant research professor, to further investigate optimal growing conditions for various species of the halophyte ‘saltloving’ plant, also known as sea vegetables, for the purpose of applying the findings to commercial growth, harvest and sale of sea vegetables for human consumption.

“Sea vegetables are mineral-rich plants and make a great addition to our diets,” said Davis. “When cooking with these sea vegetables, there is no need to add salt since natural salts are available. Our sea vegetable plants flourish on the nutrients provided by the fish in the aquaculture system.

This grant opportunity gives the research team the means to measure nutrient levels associated with optimal growth patterns

www.bocaratontribune.com

of the plants, a critical step in implementing the most sustainable processes for commercial growth and harvest of sea vegetable species.”

Water sample nutrient analysis researchers were awarded $5,000 and will be using FAU’s WAL facility to measure the water chemical compositions and nutrient concentrations in water samples taken from sea vegetable tanks in the Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture system (IMTA) at Harbor Branch.

Water samples will be collected and analyzed before and after sea vegetable reservoir water changes – which is set to occur weekly – and daily during the week-long period. The concentrations observed will provide insight into the microbial processes and nutrient cycling yielding optimal growth of the plants.

The newly established RCIP grant program exists to provide investigators access to FAU Research Core services for research projects that have potential to obtain external and competitive grant programs targeted to the subject matter. The pilot awards are offered to FAU researchers in sums of $500 to $5,000 for use at any of the current FAU Research Core facilities. To learn more, visit www.fau.edu/research-admin/cores/.

As the Mayors Ball serves as a coveted tribute to those who have helped make Boca Raton the best place to live, work, learn, visit, heal and raise a family, the proceeds raised fund grant requests from Boca Raton-based non-profits whose communities have health and wellness needs. Distributed through a formal RCDBR “Service Above Self ” grant application process, proceeds from the 2021 Mayors Ball will fulfill grant requests submitted by 17+ area nonprofits, as well as a percentage donated to Rotary International’s fund for polio eradication.

The 2022 RCDBR Mayors Ball Cochairs Rosie Inguanzo Martin and David Eltringham and the event host committee are looking forward to setting the stage for a continued spotlight on Boca Raton’s stakeholders and their achievements and contributions. The Honorary Chairs this year are 2021 Co-chair Jonathan Whitney and wife Nicole, and RCDBR Founding Member Shaheer Hosh and wife Gloria. The annual event is produced by Kaye Communications.

“Each year it is the generosity of Mayors Ball sponsors and attendees that makes a difference in the lives of so many,” said Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton Mayors Ball Co-Chair David Eltringham. “Our club is so excited to again host this spectacular evening and expect the dance floor to be filled and lots of smiles throughout the ballroom as together we celebrate all that is Boca!”

According to Boca Raton Mayors Ball Co-Chair Rosie Inguanzo Martin, The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton’s George Long Awards, named for the City’s first mayor, will be presented to ADT (forprofit), YMCA South Palm Beach County (nonprofit) and Eda & Cliff Viner (indi-

In addition to the George Long Awards, The Dr. Ira Gelb Health & Wellness Visionary Award will be presented to FAU Trustee, Schmidt College of Medicine Dean’s Advisory Council Chair and Chair Emeritus for Life of the Palm Beach County Medical Society Dr. Michael T.B. Dennis.

The Batmasian Family Grant Is Back for Its Second Year with $150,000 In the second year since the Pandemic that shut the world down in life and business, the Batmasian Family has come forth to help support local business and our community.

Since moving to South Florida in 1983, Jim and Marta Batmasian have invested in the region by acquiring residential and commercial properties. Today, their company Investments Limited is the largest, privately-held, family-owned real estate company in the region. Many of their most notable properties include Royal Palm Place, Fifth Avenue Shoppes, the Shops at University Park (formerly Plum Plaza), Sanctuary Shoppes. Through the acquisition of key properties, renovations, the establishment of Changing Lives and Propel, and contributions to small business, nonprofits and community programs, the Batmasian Family has helped change the business landscape of the region.

In an effort to embrace local business and ingenuity, the Batmasians have launched their second micro-grants program inviting inventors, idea makers, creators and entrepreneurs to apply, share their vision and mission, and how they will impact the community as a whole. The 2021 Batmasian Family Grant provided $100,000 to 10 worthy businesses undergoing hardships within retail, restaurant and the service industries.

In 2022, the Batmasian Family Foundation endeavored to continue their legacy and acknowledge the innovators and idea

Community

makers in the region.

Applications can be submitted online at www.batmasianfamilygrant.com and are due by June 30, 2022. A panel of local business leaders, the Chamber of Commerce and City officials of Boca Raton and Delray Beach will review the applicants to select the finalists.

Each finalist will present their plans and ideas in person or virtually in June 2022 for final selection. Grant winners will be announced by July 25, 2022.

“We were so fortunate to have won a grant from the Batmasian Family last year.

As a small family business, we faced so many challenges during Covid (being closed

www.bocaratontribune.com

for months, losing staff members, and many others) and this grant allowed us to make improvements that were crucial for our growth, including investing in marketing to grow our clientele, also doing improvements and renovations at our barber shop .

“As a way to give back to our community the blessing we received, we gave away 7 scholarships to barber students to participate in our apprentice barber workshop.

Through thegenerosity of the Batmasian family, we were able to not only grow our business, but also transform 7 more people’s lives, helping them have a successful career as a barber!

Always keep in mind the more we give, the more we receive! I have no words to thank the Batmasian Family for this gift. It will never be forgotten.”

Ligia Moreno Invictus Barber Shop The Batmasian Family Grant will help minimize the financial strains some new businesses are experiencing and put them on a path to success. The Batmasians have contributed millions over the decades to aspiring entrepreneurs and businesses, nonprofits, education and the community; after having built their company from a small $5,000 personal investment in 1960 to a $2 billion family-owned and operated company. Today they continue to help individuals and business owners in our communities through Propel and Changing Lives, which they founded, in addition to yearly contributions to home, health, family and community non-profits and programs.

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK By: Mayor Scott Singer

Boca Raton Recreation and Parks Update Boca Raton has long been known as a city within a park, with our 47 parks, ample green space, and miles of pristine beaches. We are in the middle of a major expansion of our recreational assets. After the generous donation by the owners of The Boca Raton, the City has been working hard to transform the former Boca Country Club into the new public Boca Raton Golf & Racquet Club. In 2021, we spent several million of the $65 million we gained from the sale of our western golf course to refresh and update this new addition.

In November, we opened our 18-hole championship golf course. We are adding new landscaping, renovating the clubhouse, and expanding the tennis courts into a premier racquet facility that will include pickleball courts. These amenities are designed for our residents and will also serve the neighboring Boca Golf and Tennis Community. We also have professional tours coming to Boca Raton for these sports. In the last few months, Boca Raton was the site for the PGA Champions Schwab Cup senior golf tournament and the APP Pick-

leball Tour, along with the Boca Raton Bowl, with millions of eyes watching these televised events. We all know the world-class recreation and green space in our city; the national TV audiences see some of that, along with the many other benefits of life in Boca Raton.

We’re hard at work on the next addition to the Waterfront Master Plan.

After years of planning, including visioning sessions with residents, this park will open in the fall, creating a sixacre, downtown green space that connects under the bridge.

The centerpiece is a new, wide pedestrian promenade linking both sides of Palmetto into one space. You can see the new sea wall to support this promenade and protect against rising waters.

Work on a pavilion, public art, and play areas will follow.

At Silver Palm, we are doubling the size of our boat ramp and adding launches for canoes and kayaks. These parks will open later this year and will enhance both our downtown and a prime gateway to our pristine beaches. Boaters will have more options as we begin work in the coming year restoring Lake

Wyman Park, which includes reopening canoe trails. The most recent of our waterfront parks, Hillsboro El Rio South, opened in 2020 and was a prime destination last year for residents with its own sandy boat launches, playground, pickleball courts, and more. We all love the waterfront and we’ve greatly expanded options for residents to enjoy it.

For the forty-second straight year, Boca Raton earned the Tree City USA designation, as well as receiving a Growth Award for our tree canopy assessment. We are adding even more shade trees throughout the city. In October, with support from Brightline, we opened the new Junior League garden at Meadows Park – the nation’s first iguana-resistant community garden, and the Pearl City community added a second community garden in memory of Allen Willis.

Tourism, our area’s leading industry, is back and poised for greater success.

The former Boca Raton Resort & Club, the destination around which our city was planned, has been restored to historical luster and transformed into The Boca Raton. The $200 million renova-

tion will continue to attract major conventions and tourism, fueling our economy and continuing to bring leaders in government and industry to Boca Raton. We look forward to working with the hotel’s ownership on beautification efforts for Camino Real. In addition, the Mandarin Oriental has made significant progress toward adding another worldrenowned brand to our Downtown.

Bloomberg News ranked Boca Raton as one of the 25 places in the world to see this year, and one of only three places in the United States. They called us suddenly cool, but for those of here, we’ve been cooler for longer than some people give us credit.

For more updates on recreation or any other current topics, please check out the city’s website at myboca.us.

Please email me at ssinger@myboca.us with any thoughts and stay connected with me on social media @ScottSingerUSA on all platforms. I’m running to keep serving as Mayor in the March 2023 election to ensure we continue to progress as an unparalleled place to live, work, learn, and play, including in all our abundant recreational space.

Don’t Ignore Your Dreams!

You have to dream if your dreams will ever come true! Some may take a long time to be realized, but the wait will be worthwhile! Others may surprise you by their swiftness in coming to pass. Still others may just linger in your memory, without ever becoming reality, or simply by not unfolding as originally hoped for!

Dreams cannot be bought nor sold. Neither can they be stolen! They are very personal though their fulfillment normally affects not just the dreamer’s life, but a larger company of people. Brazilian psychiatrist and June 17 - June 23, 2022

author, Augusto Cury, has written extensively about dreams. In one place he states that “life without dreams is a river without a source, a beach without waves, a morning without dew, a flower without perfume.”

Someone has also commented that “many people know what they want out of life, but few turn their dreams into a carefully planned success map.” But how can that be effectively achieved? By pondering on each dream, you can gradually discover helpful ways of bringing them to fruition, by making them concrete in

your experience.

Good dreams are born and prosper in a fertile imagination, in a joyous life, in a tranquil mind even if surrounded by external noises and conflicts.

Dr. Maya Angelou acknowledged that reality in her own life when she reflected: “I knew that if God loved me, then I could do wonderful things.

I could try great things, learn anything, achieve anything. For what could stand against me, since one person, with God, constitutes a majority?”

By the way you feed your mind, by the nature of your daily thinking, you

www.bocaratontribune.com

can actually construct positive dreams and decisively proceed toward its unfolding. Develop solid friendships and acquaintances which can help you cultivate and nurture your dream fields, and contribute to accompany many a sprouting into reality. Acting in a contrary manner will only cause nightmares, some of which may be hard to eradicate.

Today, new dreamers still live on, positively impacting a large company of persons who benefit from the concrete effects of their dreams! You can also be numbered among them!

The Challenge of Discerning God’s Will

Palm Beach County Mayor Urges Palm Beach County Residents to Dump the Pump on June 17th With gas prices near $5 a gallon in Palm Beach County Mayor Robert Weinroth and Palm Tran Public Transportation are urging everyone to Dump the Pump and try out transit on Thursday, June 17, 2022.

“We hope everyone downloads our Paradise Pass mobile payment app or gets the Paradise Pass smart card. When riders use the promo code: ‘Value’ on June 17th only, we will give them $6 to ride the bus – that’s enough money for unlimited rides free for an entire day of their choosing,” Palm Tran Executive Director Clinton B. Forbes said. “It’s the perfect opportunity to learn how transit works and see what an easy, money-saving transportation option it really is,” he added.

“Our residents have a variety of alternatives to their private passenger vehicle to get from place to place. In addition to Palm Tran, we have Tri-Rail and Brightline for rail service between Miami and West Palm Beach. Downtown circulators are available in many of our

urban areas and bike rentals are an option” according to Weinroth, who also serves as the chair of the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency.

While gas prices have continued to soar, Palm Tran’s fares have remained the same: just $2 each way. With 32 routes covering all of Palm Beach County, Palm Tran serves all major malls and medical centers and has stops directly at Lake Worth Beach and Palm Beach.

National Dump the Pump Day is a movement organized by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and unites hundreds of transit providers in encouraging everyone to say ‘no’ to high gas prices on June 17, 2022.

Proclaimed Dump the Pump Day by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Palm Tran is joined by the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) and South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA)/Tri-Rail in promoting the initiative.

Rick Boxx

Have you ever played the team-building exercise where someone stands behind you and challenges you to free-fall into their arms? Your willingness to trust them usually depends partly upon their strength and partly on your perception of their desire to catch you. No matter how strong they are, however, they cannot catch you if you are not willing to trust them.

Interestingly, a similar process is involved in seeking to discern God’s will for our lives and work. Many people say they want to know what God’s will is for their careers, or for their companies, but are not comfortable in taking the first step of trusting God for the result.

Proverbs 3:5-6 teaches important principles for people seeking to know God’s will for whatever circumstances they are confronting: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

So the first step is if you desire to know God’s will for your work or some other area of your life, have confidence that God is strong enough to catch you, and He desires your best. You can trust to let go and fall back into His arms.

The second step, as Proverbs 3:5 tells us, is “to lean not on your own understanding.”

Admittedly this can be difficult. We want to know, to understand, what is going to happen, and how, and why. Not being able to rely on our understanding can be a frightening proposition. But that is what we are instructed to do.

If you have ever taken part in a brainstorming session, you discovered each person brings their own experiences and ideas to the table. Imagine how many ideas the Creator God can add to your career plans. In Isaiah 55:8 God declares,“For my thoughts are not your

www.bocaratontribune.com

thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.” If we truly want to know His will, we must stop trying to “figure out” what He is doing.

Romans 12:2 instructs us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” To know God’s will for your career or a critical business decision, renew your mind and lean on His understanding – and not your own – through prayer and by studying God’s Word.

The final step in this process is something else that is difficult for many of us: “submitting everything to God.” For years I proceeded steadily toward my goal of running my own bank, and then someone offered to fund my dream job. By that time, however, through prayer, God had made it clear His plan for me was different. His desire was for me to launch a marketplace ministry. Admittedly this was a daunting, even scary, prospect for me, to leave what I was comfortable with and enter an entirely new, different realm of endeavor. Despite not knowing what the future held, I submitted to God’s will. I have had no regrets.

In reading the Old Testament book of Job, we find his friends consoling him and then offering counsel. Although Job’s friends gave him bad advice for the most part, one of them wisely told him, “Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you” (Job 22:21).

As difficult as it may seem, it is also very simple: If you are trying to discern God’s will, all you have to do is trust God, gain His understanding, and then courageously submit to His plan.

5 Black Service Members Shaping Contemporary Military History (StatePoint) Black Americans have served in the U.S. Armed Forces since the Revolutionary War, paving the way for Black service members today.

“It is also important we foster an inclusive environment across the USO (United Service Organizations). One consistent finding of our service member surveys is the diverse population we serve feels welcome, supported, and included when visiting the USO,” said J.D. Crouch II, USO CEO and president. “We should feel very proud of this but always stay attuned to improving the experience for them.”

This Juneteenth, the USO shared five stories of modern-day service members who are shaping contemporary military history.

1. Retired Lt. General Nadja West is no stranger to being a “first.” In 2013, West became the first Black female major general of the Army’s active component, as well as the Army Medicine’s first Black female two-star general. In 2015, she became the first Black surgeon general of the Army. Finally, in 2016, she became the first Black female lieutenant general and highestranking woman to graduate from West Point.

With more than 20 years of experience, she’s proved herself a decisive leader, helping lead the Department of Defense (DOD) through crafting the response to the Ebola crisis, and managing an $11 billion budget and 130,000 healthcare workers when she was commanding general of Medical Command.

2. Retired Lt. Col. Shawna Rochelle Kimbrell made headlines when she became the first Black female fighter pilot for the Air Force.

Throughout her school years, she set her sights on the sky. As a kindergartner, she wanted to be

an astronaut, but soon shifted her focus from spaceships to jets. Determined, she joined the Civil Air Patrol, worked at air shows, earned a private pilot’s license and earned a spot in the Air Force Academy. Although naysayers told her to have a back-up plan because they believed her goals were unrealistic, to Kimbrell, that wasn’t an option. In 1988, Kimbrell graduated from the Air Force Academy and earned her pilot wings the following year. She’s now a decorated Air Force veteran, having earned an Air Medal, an Aerial Achievement Medal and an Army Commendation Medal, just to name a few. With a full, successful military career behind her, Kimbrell shows no signs of slowing down. Today, she dedicates her days to help future officers at the Air Force Academy, where she teaches physical education and is the academy’s Director of Culture, Climate and Diversity.

3. The first-ever Black female plebe to attend and graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, Janie L. Mines first stepped onto campus in 1976. “The academy wasn’t ready for [women],” Mines said in an interview with the DOD. “It just happened quickly, and it needed to be done.

The academy considered itself to be a combat school, and [women] were not allowed to serve in combat. So, we were seen as taking up spots for good combat officers that were needed, because we ‘couldn’t do the job.’ Additionally, there was a general belief that as Black women … I would not be able to lead in what was at that time a white-male Navy.” Despite being accepted to other prestigious universities, Mines was determined to attend the Academy and answer the call to serve. “When the Academy contacted me and said I was going to be the only Black

woman who would be admitted, I felt like it was something I had to do.” After graduation, Mines went on to become a lieutenant in the Navy Supply Corps and one of the first women to ever serve on a Navy ship. Today, she mentors young midshipmen, is the author of “No Coincidences: Reflections of the First Black Female Graduate of the United States Naval Academy” and is a member of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service.

4. On January 21, 2021, retired Gen. Lloyd Austin was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a near-unanimous vote to become the first Black defense secretary of the United States. A retired Army four-star general, he previously attended West Point and was soon commissioned as a second lieutenant. Austin served more than 40 years in the Army. He was the 33rd vice chief of staff of the branch and was the last commanding general of the U.S. Forces – Iraq Operation New Dawn. In 2013, President Barack Obama appointed him commander of United States Central Command, making Austin the first Black person to ever hold the position. In 2016, he retired from the military as a decorated and distinguished Army veteran with many honors, including a Silver Star and Humanitarian Service Medal. In the private sector, he served on several boards until President Joe Biden nominated him to be secretary of defense in 2021 -- where he serves today.

5. Retired Col. Merryl Tengesdal is the first, and currently the only, Black woman to fly a U-2 spy plane, which is utilized for the Air Force’s high-altitude missions. After graduating from the University of New Haven, Tengesdal first served in the Navy flying helicopters. She went

on to become an instructor pilot, training Navy and Air Force students at Joint Student Undergraduate Pilot Training. She transferred to the Air Force when her Naval obligation was complete. Though she describes being the first Black woman to fly a U-2 plane as “surreal,” she also says it’s a “blind spot.” “I try not to get caught up in being the only Black female. I just want to keep being inspirational and motivational for other people,” Tengesdal said. During training, Tengesdal’s instructors told her there would always be people who would say she was there because of her race and gender, and others who would say she shouldn’t be there because of those things. One instructor reminded her that she was incredibly talented and would keep proving to others that she belongs at the top – and soon enough, the critics wouldn’t have those excuses anymore. Today, she reflects on that conversation in instances of self-doubt.

Tengesdal retired in 2017 and has had many adventures since, including being a contestant on “Tough as Nails,” a CBS reality show.

Are the Places You Spend Time Asthma Friendly?

(StatePoint) Asthma is a lung disease that makes breathing difficult for over 24 million Americans. While there’s no cure, there are steps you can take to help control it so you can lead a normal, healthy life.

This is why the American Lung Association’s Promoting Asthma Friendly Environments through Partnerships and Collaborations Project is seeking to ensure more people live, work and go to school in asthma-friendly environments. Here’s what to know: 1. Understanding triggers. Asthma triggers can cause symptoms and if left untreated, could lead to an asthma attack. Common asthma triggers include respiratory infections, allergens, irritants, exercise and emotions. Indoor triggers found at home, school and workplaces include tobacco smoke, dust mites, pests such as cockroaches and mice, pets, mold, cleaning chemicals, dust, gases, vapors and fumes. Common outdoor asthma triggers include pollen, wildfire smoke, ozone and particle pollution.

2. Reducing home triggers. People spend Plus

over 90% of their time indoors and most of that time is in their home. Whether you rent or own your home, you can make these changes to improve the quality of the air you breathe: • Run the bathroom fan after showers and use the kitchen fan while cooking to control moisture and other air pollutants.

• Use vacuums with good filtration, such as a HEPA filter.

• Properly store food and other items that attract pests.

• Make your home (and vehicle) smokefree.

Additional actions you can take include improving ventilation, maintaining HVAC systems and using integrated pest management. If you rent, some of these solutions would be the responsibility of the landlord. Learn more about how to improve the indoor air quality of your home as a tenant by reviewing the guide developed by the Environmental Law Institute found at eli.org.

3. Taking action for children. Children’s respiratory systems are still developing, making

them particularly vulnerable to air pollution.

However, 95% of American school buses are diesel-powered. To learn more about how to advocate for your school district to modify older diesel school buses or transition to zero-emission electric school buses, visit lung.org.

4. Healthier workplaces. About one is six cases of adult-onset asthma can be linked to the individual’s occupation and about one in five adults with asthma experience worsening of symptoms because of where they work.

Missed workdays and lost worker productivity due to asthma can be costly for individuals who live with asthma and employers. By establishing lung-friendly workplace policies and offering an employee asthma education program, employers can help employees and family members with asthma better manage their conditions and experience fewer symptoms. If you have asthma or are a caregiver for someone with asthma, consider speaking to your employer about instituting policies that promote a safe, healthy workplace.

www.bocaratontribune.com

5. Additional guidance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Asthma Control Program developed “EXHALE” a set of six strategies that help contribute to better asthma control. The strategies can help you and your loved ones have fewer asthma symptoms, prevent emergency visits to the hospital and help you avoid missing school or work. To learn the strategies and for additional resources, visit cdc.gov. You can also check out the range of asthma programs and initiatives offered by the American Lung Association that align with the EXHALE strategies by visiting lung.org/AFE.

Boca Raton Based Foster Care Organization Seeing Influx of Children In Need After seeing an influx of children (including siblings) enter their program, Place of Hope, one of Palm Beach County’s largest foster care organizations, is in desperate need of funds and supplies. “ T h e yo u t h we ’r e seeing are part of the state’s effort to remove children from these homes due to imminent danger,” CEO of Place of Hope Charles Bender said in a passionate plea to the community and supporters. They’re attempting to place them with relatives, and many of these relatives are serving as the children’s primary caregivers overnight and need items that they may not have needed before.”

“Giving back to the communities we serve has always been amongst our chief priorities,” said Beskin. “As a company based in Boca, we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to consistently support Bo-

ca Helping Hands and the individuals and families they serve.”

Inflation, supply chain issues, and lower inventory have impacted BHH’s hunger-relief programs.

The donations from SinglesSwag help supplement some of the decreased donations from community food drives.

“We are pleased with the partnership we have established with Jonathan Beskin and his businesses,” said Bill Harper, Director of Food & Warehouse Operations for Boca Helping Hands. “The cookies, cakes, pies, chocolate bars, and gift boxes provide some quality snack items that we can add to the food bags we distribute to our families. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and our female clients are delighted with the ‘swag’ boxes.”

Companies, restaurants, cafés, or grocery stores that would like to get involved or donate food can reach out to info@bocahelpinghands.org.

As one of our country’s most highly respected Reform congregations established in 1967, Temple Beth El of Boca Raton, continues to grow and will welcome Rabbi Elana Rabishaw as their 4th full-time rabbi as of July 1, 2022. She will join the dedicated clergy team that currently includes Rabbi Dan Levin, Rabbi Jessica Spitalnic Mates, Rabbi Greg Weisman, Cantor Lori Brock, Cantorial Soloists Michelle Auslander Cohen and Jake Harris.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Rabbi Rabishaw was ordained in May 2022 at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles. Her background includes working as a Rabbinic Intern at Congregation Kol Ami in West Hollywood, as well as working at numerous other synagogues throughout the greater Los Angeles area, including being a summer Chaplain Intern at children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and as a student rabbi in Yakima, Washington.

In her youth, Rabbi Rabishaw spent every summer beginning in 5th grade at URJ camp OSRUI Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

She attended the University of WisconsinMadison where she earned her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Community and Nonprofit Leadership and Modern Hebrew. Following that, she attained a Master’s of Arts in Hebrew Letters from HUC-JIR and a second Master’s Degree in Jewish Education.

In making her decision to join the Tem-

www.bocaratontribune.com

ple Beth El clergy team, Rabbi Rabishaw says that “I immediately became excited when I read in the job description that the congregation’s essential value was love – and that it was embodied by, “championing inclusion and lowering barriers to access while creating as many portals of entry as possible.’ I was sold because this is the essential value that I want to live by as well. Having the opportunity to work in and become part of a community that aspires to live by the same values was exactly what I was looking for in my first rabbinic match.” She continues, “I am looking forward to building out opportunities for young adults to feel part of Temple Beth El. I am also looking forward to building relationships with our families and children, beginning with Summer Adventure Camp and continuing through meeting our teenagers. I will know that I have truly begun to accomplish my goal of building meaningful relationships when familes as me to officiate their life cycle events.”

Temple Beth El is thrilled to welcome Rabbi Elana Rabishaw to our clergy team and welcomes the entire community to join us at on Friday, July 1, 2022 for Shabbat evening services at 6:00 pm for a special Shehecheyanu and to meet our new Rabbi!

Services will be held both in person at the Schaefer Family campus or can be viewed online via Livestream, Facebook Live or YouTube. For more information, call 561391-8900 or visit tbeboca.org June 17 - June 23, 2022

Three Boys & Girls Club teens are first recipients of new scholarship to attend PBSC The inaugural recipients of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County-Belle Glade Teen Center Scholarship Fund for Palm Beach State College were recently announced.

Ayanna Graham, De’Mario Sims and Guilbert Amilcar are the three Smith & Moore Family Teen Center members who will each receive a $1,500 a year scholarship to cover costs to pursue an associate degree or career certificate at PBSC. The scholarships were made possible by a seed donation to the College from community partner and philanthropist Laura Finfrock.

“I am thrilled that the first recipients of this new scholarship have started their journey for success,” said Finfrock. “Not only will this encourage Smith & Moore Family Teen Center members to attend college, but it will help to end generational poverty while ensuring businesses in the Glades will have more qualified employees in the near future.”

Laura Finfrock was introduced to the needs in the Glades region when the family

June 17 - June 23, 2022

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

The plant will allow FINFROCK to bring over 200 much-needed higher-wage jobs to the Belle Glade area and better serve commercial developers in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward counties and in Southwest Florida.

The newly created scholarship fund is only available to active members of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ Smith & Moore Family Teen Center who have been a member of a Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County for at least two consecutive years and have completed 20 volunteer hours at the Club. Scholarship eligibility includes a current GPA of 2.0 or higher and submission of a 250-word essay describing how the scholarship will benefit the applicant’s educational journey. Scholarship recipients

can attend any PBSC campus. Priority will be given to students studying science, technology, engineering and math as well as industry, manufacturing, construction and transportation.

“We are so proud of these recipients as they are shining examples of the amazing young people at our Smith & Moore Family Teen Center. This scholarship opportunity builds upon our career readiness programs at the Club,” said Jaene Miranda, president & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.

Graham who has been a member of the Belle Glade Teen Center for seven years.

She is a 2022 graduate of Glades Central Community High School where she participated in several on-campus and off-campus activities. In addition to being a wellrounded student, Ayanna has a deep love of photography and has competed in several competitions, which have earned her national recognition.

Sims is a graduate of Wellington Community High School and has spent seven years at the Belle Glade Teen Center. He is a very astute and humble young man. His passions lie in gaming and videography, and he hopes to pursue a motion picture production degree in the fall. He finds it most exciting behind the scenes in the production room bringing concepts to life.

Amilcar is also a 2022 graduate of

www.bocaratontribune.com

Glades Central Community High School where he was a member of the basketball team. Outside of school, he is a money maven, taking a keen interest in investing and the stock market. He is also one of four students who produced a recurring podcast for the Belle Glade Teen Center. He hopes to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner and will study nursing at PBSC in the fall.

“These scholarship recipients represent a fantastic group of individuals and organizations coming together to help the community of Belle Glade,” said Dr. LaTanya McNeal, executive dean of the PBSC Belle Glade campus. “Partnerships like this create opportunities that are life-changing for these young adults and go a long way in setting them on a path to being impactful engaged citizens. This is the next step in a process that we hope continues to grow, and I look forward to future years of scholars who go on to achieve remarkable things.”

The seed donation made by Finfrock kickstarted the scholarship program, but efforts are underway to raise further funds to ensure that the scholarship program will be available to even more deserving Club members in the future. For more information on how to donate to Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County – Belle Glade Teen Center Scholarship Fund, please contact Kim Sovinski at ksovinski@bgcpbc.org or call 561-683-3287.

FAU Receives Grant for Equity in Instructional Performance Florida Atlantic University’s College of Education School Leaders Program has been awarded a three-year, $1,039,041 grant from Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) to support two graduate degree programs as part of the Teacher School Leader Equity for Instructional Performance (EQUIP) grant project initiative.

BCPS is the sixth largest public school system in the United States and the second largest in Florida.

While BCPS has earned many accolades and enjoyed past successes in achieving its mission and providing high quality education to its diverse student body, there are still areas of opportunity for significant growth and development across a career continuum.

Through EQUIP, BCPS has partnered with FAU, St. Thomas University and Broward College to increase student achievement in 20 high-need schools within the district through improvement of the districtwide Performance Based Compensation System (PBCS) and Human Capital Management System (HCMS). These schools have been selected based on high poverty rates, levels of student diversity, academic need, and the presence of an administrative team that is enthusiastic about participating in the grant. The ultimate goal is to increase student achievement in the selected high-need schools by supporting the professional growth and diversity of the educator workforce.

“EQUIP seeks to support the professional growth of teachers and school leaders and improve the ability of the district to recruit more diverse, highly qualified, and highly effective teachers, teacher leaders and reward those who improve their

students’ growth and performance,” said Daniel Reyes-Guerra, Ph.D., School Leaders Program coordinator and an associate professor, Department of Educational Leadership and Research Methodology.

“EQUIP also will support human capital initiatives focusing on educator preparation, retention, and advancement.”

Expanding the partnership between BCPS and FAU’s School Leadership Program, FAU will develop two graduate programs that include a 13-student cohort of

Ph.D. students and a 20-student cohort of master’s degree in educational leadership students. For the Ph.D. program, EQUIP will provide three directors, working with EQUIP schools, five principals and seven assistant principals, an opportunity to earn a doctorate degree in educational leadership with a concentration in turnaround leadership, diversity, social emotional learning, and equitable leadership. This program will provide broad research and practice-based experiences that allow educational leaders to bring many different perspectives to bear on the organizational problems and opportunities they encounter in these most challenged schools. Participants who complete this program will be scholar-practitioners holding a Ph.D. in educational leadership.

FAU will base the EQUIP master’s degree on the School Leaders Program’s nationally acclaimed curriculum currently employed in university-district partnerships in Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee, and Osceola county school districts. The program will be customized to prepare school leaders with a focus on “turnaround” school leadership and meeting the needs of underserved students, with a focus on cultural competence as instructional leaders. Over the grant period, teachers from each of the 20 participating schools will receive scholarships to complete the program; in exchange, they will agree to serve in a high-need school in BCPS for five years.

The master’s degree program will include job-embedded professional learning over three years. Upon completion of all of the requirements and graduation, participants will obtain Florida Level 1 Certification in Educational Leadership, fulfill all BCPS professional development requirements, and be eligible to interview for an assistant principal position.

Expanding the partnership between BCPS and FAU’s School Leadership Program, FAU will develop two graduate programs.

FAU ranks as the most racially, ethnically and culturally diverse institution in Florida’s State University System. FAU also is a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and its First-Generation Student Success program is recognized statewide.

FAU Holds Celebration of Life for Joan Joyce Florida Atlantic University athletics hosted a celebration of life for the late Joan Joyce on Saturday.

Amongst family, friends, former players, current players, colleagues and more, FAU paid tribute to the legendary Coach Joyce. Joyce passed away at the age of 81 on March 26, 2022.

She was an icon in the sporting world and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. Joyce was the FAU head softball coach for 28 years and was the only head coach in FAU history until her passing.

Joyce is well-known for her seemingly endless list of incredible athletic accomplishments - including being a member of 20 Halls of Fame, winning over 1,000 games as a coach, throwing 150 no-hitters and 50 perfect games, winning championships and landing in the Guinness Book of World Records. But what was apparent on Saturday was the number of lives that she touched as a coach, mentor, family member and friend.

Speakers took turns sharing stories

and reminiscing about Joyce in front of the crowd – and when one lives a life such as Joyce did, there certainly is an abundance of stories to share. The speakers included FAU President John Kelly, FAU Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian White, Joyce’s nieces Meghan Bolesta and Bridget White, FAU softball alumna of the inaugural 1995 team Marlo Tamayo, FAU Athletics Hall of Famer and alumna Chris Sutcliffe and current FAU assistant coach Troy Whitt.

Joyce leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered at FAU and in the sporting world forever. She is survived by her sister Janis Joyce, her brother Joseph Joyce, nieces Bridget Joyce Wright and her husband Russ, Meghan Bolesta and her husband Michael, as well as three grand-nieces, Morgan, Brooke, and Teagan, and two grand-nephews in Joseph and Patrick.

In honor of Coach Joyce, FAU has established the Joan Joyce Memorial Fund. All proceeds are donated to the FAU softball program.
