Changes in Boca Raton Airport

By Quezia Salgado

The Boca Raton Airport has been a part of the city for nearly 80 years. It started out as a space for flying and aviation training for the army on the brink of World War II, and until this day it continues to meet the community’s aviation needs. As a General Aviation services facility, the airport provides for all types of flying, from private to corporate and charter, and it’s also a place for aircraft maintenance. In addition, Lynn University School of Aeronautics, as well as other schools, also conduct their flight training on the field.

The Boca Raton Airport Authority is the entity responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, marketing, and compliance with all the federal and state regulations pertaining to the safety and operation of the airfield. Following the Authority’s recent decision to award a contract for the construction of the new Administration building, the next project on the list is the creation of a Customs Facility. Current users of the airport, tenants, and people in the community requested that an evaluation be made in order to determine whether this would be a possibility. To that end, the BRAA hired a group of consultants composed of experts in customs and market studies, who conducted a feasibility analysis which included extensive research, and a series of interviews and surveys.

Local Scholars Receive More Than $633,000.00 for Education

Photo by Joel Black, photosbyblack.com

2014 Snow Scholarship Recipients The George Snow Scholarship Fund celebrated its 32nd Anniversary in true festive fashion by awarding over $633,000.00 in scholarships to 85 deserving scholarship recipients during their 2014 Annual Awards Reception. This year’s event was generously underwritten by the Seminole Region Club Managers Charity Golf Tournament Committee, Karleen and Elias Janetis, Amy and Mike Kazma, Steve Bagdan Charitable Foundation, the R.A Ritter Foundation, Kaufman Lynn Construction and CBIZ Meridian. “Because of the contributions from our sponsors, we were able to host this wonderful event at no cost to our fund, the scholarship recipients or their guests,” stated Tim Snow, President of The George Snow Scholarship Fund.

“This is an extremely important and significant event for the Scholarship Fund and our supporters,” Snow said, “It is the culmination of a year’s worth of hard work and fund-raising events, all designed to raise much needed funding for scholarships; which will support these most worthy young people over the next four years. I am amazed at the quality of individuals who receive our awards; they are amazing young people who have worked hard to accomplish all that they have. There is no question that they will make us all very proud.”

In addition to financial assistance, each Snow scholar received a gift bag filled with items they can use while away at college including a new HP laptop computer or a $260.00 college supply stipend. Among the other items donated were a duffle bag, a LED flash light, a flash drive, a Mr. Coffee maker and Throw Warmer was donated by Jarden Consumer Solutions of Boca Raton, a Microsoft Office Professional productivity suite donated by Microsoft Inc., First Aid Kit donated by Boca Raton Regional Hospital, and Bar Charts donated quick reference charts on various subjects. Additional items and various school supplies were underwritten by supporters of the Scholarship Fund. Overall, the gifts the Snow Scholars received were valued at over $900.00.

In addition to the educational scholarships and college supplies awarded, each year the Fund recognizes one special recipient who represents volunteerism, generosity,

commitment, and unselfishness; the award is known as the Robert S. Howell Spirit of Service Award. A little over six years ago, the George Snow Scholarship Fund and the Boca Raton Community lost a long time friend and supporter, Bob Howell, to cancer. Bob Howell holds a special place in the history of the George Snow Scholarship Fund. He was a founding trustee of the Fund, serving on the fund’s organizational committee and later serving as Chairman of the Board. He was a major factor in the successes they have today.

The winner of this year’s Award is someone who reflects these same qualities. He is the perfect recipient of the Robert S. Howell Spirit of Service Award. He embodies all that this award was established to represent.

The Fund’s 2014 recipient is Stephen L. Haskins, CFO of Kaufman Lynn Construction.

“He has been a longtime supporter of the George Snow Scholarship Fund in many ways. He has not only contributed financially, but he has given his time and talents above and beyond what would be expected of anyone. He has had his hand in most everything we do, from sitting on our Selection Committee and being team captain on one of our interview teams to Volunteering at our Annual Cowboy Ball, to contributing annually to this event and our computer program and being a lead contributor to our capital campaign as well as sitting on our Board of Trustees. He was a huge help when we built or new offices and he made that experience an amazing one for me.

He is an advocate for our organization but he also serves as an example to the young people we serve. Not only is Steve a wonderful supporter of the Scholarship Fund but he has become a trusted advisor and a great friend. The George Snow Scholarship Fund is fortunate to have Steve Haskins as part of our family.” Stated Tim Snow, President of The George Snow Scholarship Fund.

The George Snow Scholarship Fund, a Boca Raton-based 501(c)3 Public Charity, provides educational grants to some of our areas brightest and most deserving young scholars. These scholarships are four-year commitments and are designed to bridge the gap between other financial aid and

what the scholar and their families can afford. In addition, the Scholarship Fund provides programs and services designed to benefit their scholars. No other organization of this kind provides so much support to its scholarship recipients.

The Fund was established in 1982 as a memorial to George Snow, a Boca Raton developer who lost his life in a helicopter accident in 1980. Mr. Snow always stressed the importance of education and was active in trying to help those individuals who were trying to help themselves. These same ideals are those that shape the mission of the George Snow Scholarship Fund.

The George Snow Scholarship Fund

www.bocaratontribune.com

also administrates scholarships for other individuals, corporations, organizations and foundations including the Schmidt Family Foundation< The Batchelor Foundation and the Lily Brentano Foundation Scholarship Program, to name a few.

Known as experts in scholarship administration, the George Snow Scholarship Fund has developed a reputation for creating innovative programs which address the educational needs of those in our community.

Richard’s Weekly: Where's The Beef?

By Jeff Cutter, Edited For Richard Ehrlich

Last week, Julie called on my way home, to ask me to stop at the supermarket. It was turning out to be a really nice day and we wanted to cook some steak on the grill. Usually, when the Richard Ehrlich, CLU, ChFC, nicer weather CFS, RichardsWeekly.com arrives we grill more often, but maybe not this year.

When I got to the cooler at the supermarket, I looked quickly at the prices for a package of steak and thought the butcher made a mistake pricing them. So I asked the butcher if they were priced correctly. He nodded his head yes and said that prices for meat have risen over 20% in a year.

Hmm. This can’t be! I had just read the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) two hours before getting to the grocery store. The BLS is the governmental agency that publishes the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Those folks stated in their report that inflation is at 1.5 percent for the year. So, there must be a problem with the calculation, right?

Oh, there is... it is the way they calculate the number. There’s no question that beef prices have shot up dramatically in the past year. Price increases are driven by disease, drought, and demand. Those three factors together have resulted in significant price increases for meat.

While you and I see this hitting our budgets, it is not clearly shown in the inflation numbers because Uncle Sam has decided we do not buy enough beef for it to matter.

Hmm. Tell that to the folks who are retired and on a fixed income. Or to families like mine who spend almost $1,000 a month on groceries. So, here is my “beef” with this situation. The CPI calculation assumes that only 0.51 percent of the average American household budget is spent on food. This is where the problems begin.

One of the functions of the BLS is to determine how our costs change every month across a broad category of spending.

However, because they do not weigh different items of spending appropriately in their calculation of the CPI, it is meaningless.

I would like to see a measure of inflation that shows us how our daily lives are actually affected, which means weighing items like food and energy more than other items. We all eat; me sometimes too much.

Most of us also drive cars and heat our homes. So, I would venture to say that most Americans spend a fair amount of their budgets on both food and fuel. Therefore, these items, food and fuel, would seem to me a logical measure of inflation. But the BLS also tracks, and includes in CPI, other items such as TVs, lamps, appliances, and even clocks, to name just a few.

It adds price changes in all of these categories to the mix when trying to determine how our daily cost of living has changed. Lucky for us, each of these items has fallen in price over the last 12 months.

According to the BLS, appliances make up 0.289 percent of spending, and have fallen 3.3% in price over the last year.

Clocks, lamps, and decor items comprise 0.26 percent of spending and have fallen 7 percent, while TVs, which make up 0.159 percent of spending, have dropped more than 12%. That all sounds great, however, the problem is that each of these categories represents discretionary spending that can be put off until another day, if we want them at all. You see my problem here?

Community News

Even if I do not eat steak, food items clearly represent a greater portion of my spending than TVs. But they are lumped together when calculating the cost of our living. I wouldn’t care if the CPI was just another set of meaningless numbers released by another faceless government agency, but it’s not.

This number is used to determine costof-living adjustments for Social Security, wage adjustments and other fixed income benefit plans. If the CPI understates the increasing cost of food because the same statistic also includes the change in the price of TVs, well then, we have a problem. Even if someone bought a TV last year, and got a heck of a deal, that doesn’t do the rest of us any good. Last I checked, I cannot use my A1 sauce on my TV. Here’s a thought. Wouldn’t it be better to use inflation statistics that track different areas of life; perhaps discretionary items like TVs versus non-discretionary items like food and energy?

How about monthly purchases versus those purchased once a year, or contracted payments (cars and rent) compared to variable payments. Now that would be helpful!

Nope. The BLS went down this road many years ago. They began computing the CPI-E, which was an index meant to track the cost changes for items that retirees typically buy. The BLS stopped doing this.

Probably because showing that retirees were getting hammered would have led to demand for greater cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security payments.

Instead, the uninformed are left with Uncle Sam telling them everything is wonderful in Mayberry and inflation is historically low.

Not you, Richard's Weekly readers, you now know this combination of categories and numbers that are all boiled down to one figure—which tells us just about nothing.

Discover how inflation will affect your retirement plans. Will you have enough money when you retire to live the lifestyle you've come to enjoy? What is the real cost of retirement?

South Tech Student Travels to International Symposium

Kellsie Kershaw is truly a remarkable young woman. This student has maintained a GPA of 3.80, has more community service/ volunteer hours than her entire Practical Nursing class, has won the Gold medal in the SkillsUSA State competition for Practical Nursing the past two years, and last year, won the Gold medal for Practical Nursing at SkillsUSA Nationals in Kansas City! It’s no wonder why the Rotary Club of Boynton Beach selected Kellsie to represent South Tech Academy, Boynton Beach, and the United States at an International Symposium “Molecular Frontiers ~ The Brain”.

Kellsie and Cathy Sweeney, her Medical Academy instructor, have just arrived in Stockholm, Sweden. This was all made possible by the Boynton Beach Rotary Club and Patrick Rooney, owner of the Palm Beach

Kennel Club. Kellsie is only the second student from the United States to attend such a symposium. Kellsie and Mrs. Sweeney will be meeting with professionals and Professors from all around the globe. Everyone is there for the same reason…..Peace through understanding of science. This nonprofit organization was started in 2006 and is hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Kellsie and Mrs. Sweeney will be speaking with eminent scientists including many Nobel Prize laureates. Kellsie will also have the opportunity to meet young scientists from all around the world.

This is an amazing opportunity for Kellsie.

Mrs. Sweeney believes she is very deserving and will take full advantage of the opportunity to better herself and help others.

Good Customer Service Breeds Loyalty There was a time - not long ago - when I spent an average of 146 days in my home.

That’s because I was criss-crossing the globe, either as a journalist or wearing another hat as a member of the armed forces.

If my math and credit card statements are correct, that means I’ve flown approximately 54 times each year over the past 11 years.

This amount of travel also means thousands of hotels, taxis, restaurants and shops.

What do all these things have in common?

Customer service.

Airlines are an interesting example, as over the years I’ve experienced and witnessed the highs and the lows (pardon the pun).

While I am known for slamming crappy customer service when I see it, I am just as quick to applaud good service.

During that period, I have fired off more “thumbs up” letters to chief executive officers and owners of airlines, hotels and restaurants than I have with “he/she is a liability” missives.

There is one airline that truly excels at customer service and that’s US Airways.

The ground staff and crew are simply the most helpful that I have ever come across.

(For full disclosure, I must say I have been a shareholder since the airline was Henson Airlines, then Piedmont Airlines, and US Air) I recall the time when they even put on a wine tasting in their lounge when the plane was slightly delayed. On board they have come up with innovative and genius ways of making Economy and Premium more comfortable. They might seem like little details, such as having the entertainment system available during take-off and landing (and not just during the flight), but they make a difference - and have now been adopted by many of their rivals.

Banks are not exempt.

Banks are good for trampling on the customer service handbook.

Whenever I visit one of my financial institutions, I expect the tellers to know my name. After all, I am always handing them my hard-earned money. Don’t I deserve to be acknowledged by my name before I do so?

A thumbs up to TD Bank for their customer service. They get an A-plus from me. Perhaps it’s their culture but I think it’s more the people they hire. But somehow, it seems to me their employees are a bit more genuine.

I have noticed that trend at a few other TD Banks over the past months. But I think this recent sighting tops them all. During a recent torrential rainstorm, a client was waiting inside the bank at 1601 W. Boynton Beach Blvd., for a lull. But one did not appear to be in sight.

So a teller grabbed an umbrella and escorted the man to his car.

No good deed goes unrewarded.

Anyone who knows me well is familiar with my Sunday ritual of dining with my friends at one of the local restaurants.

I had the privilege of dining at a few eateries recently and sometimes the food wasn’t the best, but the service was so overwhelming and of such high standards, that I always wanted to go back.

Take Longhorn Steakhouse, 1562 S. Federal

Hwy., Delray Beach. We have been regulars at that joint since the doors opened some too many years now to remember. And while there were times when the food was no comparison to my mom’s and we’ve even had a few hiccups, the service has been par excellence.

The managers – Debra Rudisill and her team, including Joe Garzon, have always been attentive to their guest’s needs. They get it.

Let’s face it… if I go to the bank, I want to be treated with kindness. And I can’t say enough… if I go to the grocery store, I would like to be rung up with a smile and a pleasant mood. Even if it’s the guy at the carwash detailing my hooptie, or the mailman on his normal route, I want to

see someone with a smile on his face and a pleasant demeanor to be around. If I go somewhere or encounter a bad mood, it affects how I perceive the quality of their goods or business.

The fact is, when I enter a restaurant, or a store, or a place of business that involves human interaction, I am engaging in a social contract between the workers at that business and me. And that contract requires that they listen, be receptive, have a sense of humor and realistic expectation, and not be a jerk.

There is an old saying in business that if you do not take care of your customers then someone else will. To all my friends who are in the customer-service industry, remember this about the customer, it is the details which will allow you to stand out from your competition.

Any company can set up a bank of phones and put trained customer service associates on those phones. But if you want to help your customer service efforts to yield real results, then you need to be aware of the details that go into creating the ideal customer service experience.

At the end of the day, for me, it comes down to a mutual sense of loyalty and respect - and that’s something that gets overlooked far too often.

INTEGRETY MOMENTS

By Rick Boxx

The Immeasurable Power Of Hope For some time now, I and some friends have assisted with a local “Adopt a School” program. One lesson I have learned through this involvement is the importance of hope. Children who have known and experienced grinding poverty and great oppression can be successful – if they are given hope.

I do not mean, “hope so,” which basically means “best wishes” or “good luck.” I mean true hope, gained through seeing real examples of people that have overcome similar adversities, along with receiving practical goals and strategies to put them on a path toward a better life.

Strangely enough, feelings of hopelessness are not confined to ghettos and disadvantaged communities. Our workplaces could use some hope as well. A recent Gallup survey revealed only 30 percent of workers

feel excited about their jobs, finding them meaningful and rewarding. Can you imagine – less than one-third of workers today approach their workplace responsibilities with enthusiasm?

What if the other 70 percent understood their callings as workers and were given hope, a real sense they could escape the feelings of drudgery and frustration that dominate their every day realities? If they could find hope, I believe most likely they would become more engaged and productive. Instead of being excess baggage for their companies, they could develop into important, valued employees.

How could this happen? There is no simple, instant solution. Sometimes workers look like the proverbial “square peg” trying to fit into a round hole. Their unique mix of skills and talents might be a poor match for

the responsibilities they have been assigned to perform every day. They might feel underutilized, or prevented from exploring opportunities to grow professionally and personally. They could feel stuck, like their job is a dead-end, without expectation for advancement.

There are many types of proficiency and personality tests, along with motivational assessment tools employers can use to evaluate their employees and explore how to maximize their contributions to the company. In some cases, a dead-end job might indeed be just that, meaning the worker should be encouraged to pursue alternatives that would be more rewarding materially, mentally and emotionally.

People need hope – the expectation or confidence that better things lay ahead and can be reached. Proverbs 13:12 wisely observes,

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Lack of hope can take its toll physically, as well as in other ways.

Ultimately, followers of Jesus Christ find their hope in God, assured of His promises to care for us, provide for us, and guide us in every aspect of our lives. For instance, God gave this assurance through the prophet Jeremiah: “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). When we know God has specific plans for us and is diligently working to bring them about, how we not have hope?

With this in mind, why not take a moment and try to provide hope to someone in your workplace today?

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Plan to Excel!

Don’t look at things as they are and be satisfied. Rather, face them as they can become and do your part to bring that into reality! The same also applies to persons with whom you interact. Who they are now should not be viewed with any finality!

They need your encouragement to become all they can be, to excel in all their pursuits, to maximize all their current doings!

I once read of an artist that set up a studio on the first floor of a downtown building of some city. One of the first things he noticed, as he looked out of his window, was a disheveled town vagabond who daily sat on the street across from his studio, as a beggar. The artist used that man as his

first painting project. He actually drew him not as he then looked but as he, the artist, imagined him to be. Upon its completion, he invited the man in, and showed him what he had produced. Not knowing who the subject was, the homeless man inquired of the artist, and was most surprised when told that it was he, himself. His significant reaction was, “If that’s the man you see, that’s the person I’ll be!”

Much that is given to us is not for immediate, personal consumption; most is provided for us to improve: sometimes, for the betterment of the tool or of the situation.

Most often, however, it is for our own, personal betterment.

Making excellence your personal goal already empowers you to go after what will bring it to pass! Thus, be a greater critic of yourself rather than of others. Realize the areas where you can improve and proceed to take the necessary steps to make it so.

You need to try and keep on trying whatever will enable you to be who you can be, and do what you are capable of doing! The very idea that you can accomplish it must become an inward belief and attitude with tangible efforts and visible outcomes, even if it may take time to complete, besides some barriers to overcome. As Samuel Johnson declared in his day, “the business of life is to go forward.”

Preparation for life is a daily, moment by moment activity. New challenges come all the time and we need to know how best to respond to them! As Rich de Vos recommends, “You never will discover how far you can go if you don’t start ‘doing it’.” You can confidently leave the results up to God as long as you faithfully do your part!

Ultimately, it is only in the path of obedience that you will understand where you are to go, and to go next! The right doors will open for you when you find yourself in the road God designed for you to traverse under His leading and personal care!

“Resale for Robbie” Fundraiser Helps Little Boy with Cancer

By Quezia Salgado

When Robert Capel and his wife Becky found out their son Robbie had been diagnosed with the rare, aggressive cancer Fibro Sarcoma , the news shook the entire family.

Robbie is known to his family and friends as the happiest, sweetest, and most compassionate 5-year old, who loves being a big brother.

About two months ago, after discovering a small bump on his right arm, his parents decided to take him to a pediatrician, who then ordered MRI and x-rays to be done.

After the tests, followed a biopsy, but since doctors were not yet sure of the nature of the bump, they referred Robbie and his family to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.

Several weeks later results came back with the cancer diagnosis and Robbie was next referred to Miami Children’s Hospital.

On that same week, Capel lost his job along with his health coverage, and due to Robbie’s condition, his mom Becky had been taking a lot of time off work to care for him and his little brother Austin. Robbie is currently going through chemotherapy, and his family remains positive for his recovery.

Capel created a page on www.gofundme. com/Robbie, where donations can be made to support Robbie and his family in this tough time, as they struggle to cover the costs of traveling to and from the hospital every day, along with parking fees, as well as trying to maintain the household expenses, and care for their second child.

When Capel’s cousin Julie Maurer, owner of Zanna Jane’s House of Consignment, heard about the family’s situation, she decided to hold a “Resale for Robbie” fundraiser at the store. .

The event was held on May 31st and June 1st, where donated items were put out for a sidewalk sale, and along with a bake sale and raffles, all the funds went directly to-

wards Robbie and his family. “The support was overwhelming; we had a great response and a couple hundred people showed up.

Our goal was to raise $2,000 and we passed it,” says Maurer.

As the Capel’s remain focused on their little boy’s recovery, they continue to receive donations on the website and ask that the community keep them in their thoughts and prayers.

As more and more families are burdened with the issues of critical situational or chronic mental health challenges, Deborah shared that the Bernstein Family Foundation (BFF) remains steadfast in its commitment to help children and families access therapeutic counseling services when they are needed most.

“If more people had information and early access to services at the onset of a crisis, families might prevent something from escalating and ending up as a horrific and large-scale tragedy such as Sandy Hook or the shooting at the naval base,” added Ted who with Deborah and their company Life Insurance Concepts! are underwriting an upcoming “Shades of Blue” Luncheon to support Boca Raton’s Promise and the launch of the organization’s inspiring BOCA BRAVE community awareness and education initiative designed to encourage the start of much-needed conversations with family, friends and colleagues at home, work and play.

Village Kicks off a Summer Reading Celebration

By Tiye Barnes

For many Village Academy students, summer break means sleeping late, kicking back with video games and hanging out with friends.

But several couldn’t escape school completely: students in kindergarten and pre-k will be busy turning the pages of books, discovering, talking about, and developing a love for reading.

“The goal for today is investing in summer learning and what affects our schools and kids,” Principal Guarn Sims said Monday as he launched the pilot summer reading celebration on his campus. “Kids have so much time off in the summer they lose a lot of ground.”

About a dozen community leaders were invited to read books to the students. Each child selected a stack of five books to take home in a backpack.

Sims said the books were intended to stop “summer learning slide.”

The district cited research showing that as much as 85 percent of the achievement gap

between students from low-income and high-income families can be attributed to the loss of reading skills during the summer.

“We want to make sure students stay on track to be successful,” he said.

The volunteers also told the toddlers about the importance of reading daily at home and encouraged them to have their parents read to them throughout the summer.

“Reading is so important, and summertime is the perfect time to read a book, even if it’s not for a school assignment,” said Delray Beach Police Capt. Michael Coleman.

“There are plenty of reading lists out there that schools have provided.”

The project is sponsored through the school district’s Graduation Task Force. Village Academy is one of two schools selected to participate.

School officials hope to recruit mentors from the event in hopes of improve the graduation rate for black boys.

“The overall goal of this project is for men participating in the “kick-off ” celebration to hopefully serve as mentors in that school,” Sims said.

Delray Police Captain Completes FBI National Academy

By Tiye Barnes

Delray Beach Police Department Capt. Javaro Sims graduated from the 255th Session of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va., on June 13.

He was one of four law enforcement leaders from the southeast Florida area invited to attend the training, which is offered to the top 1 percent of the law enforcement community and is an experience unparalleled in law enforcement leadership training in the United States.

They - Col. Jack Dale of the Broward County Sheriff ’s Office; Capt. Jose Seiglie of the Doral Police Dept.; and Capt. Wesley Starling of the Martin County Sheriff ’s Office - were hand-picked by their departments and, along with about 250 other officers, completed the 10-week course.

The 17 credit hour-college graduate course included instruction in law, behavioral science, forensic science, understanding terrorism/terrorist mindsets, leadership development, communication, and health/fitness.

“The whole experience changed my entire attitude on policing,” said Sims, a 21-year department veteran.

Sims said the high level tempo of the environment, lessons learned and the process forced the students to examine their own strengths and weaknesses. Sims said he learned much more about himself during his training and will be the better for it. He additionally noted that there are a number of important concepts and lessons learned that will directly benefit the police department and community.

The former public school teacher decided to enroll in the program to prepare himself for the job of chief of police.

“This is a great honor for another member of our Department to be selected and graduate” said Chief Anthony Strianese, a graduate of the 230th Session in 2007. “I am proud of Capt. Sims for completing this intense program. He took the challenge, worked hard and now has joined the elite group of modern police managers who are the future of police management.”

The National Academy Program operated by the FBI since 1935 has a rich history of networking senior law enforcement officials across the globe. The program has a strong academic track as well, with classes taught through the University of Virginia.

He also completed the Marine Corps Obstacle Course, called the “Yellow Brick Road.”

The grueling 6.1-mile course has come to symbolize attendance and completion of the National Academy.

The National Academy attendance is an invitation-only opportunity offered to the top 1 percent of the law enforcement community and is an experience unparalleled in law enforcement leadership training in the United States.

Sims called it “the pinnacle of leadership training in this country.”

He now has shared experiences, has learned from his fellow graduates, and created lifelong partnerships and friendships.

“The experience has been bittersweet and powerful,” he said, adding that he is looking forward to weeks of rest and relaxation.

He returns to work June 30.

Delray Beach Seeks Participants for World’s Largest Swimming Lesson

By CRA News Service

The City of Delray Beach Parks and Recreation Department is inviting residents to participate in a worldwide attempt to shed light on the fact that drowning is the second leading cause of unintended, injury-related death for kids between 1 and 14 and to set a new Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson.

The free, 30-minute event will be held on Friday, June 20, 2014 at 11 a.m., at the Pompey Park Pool. Pre-registration for the event is preferred but not required. Registration will be from 10 to 10:45 a.m.

They will join tens of thousands of swimmers at hundreds of waterparks and aquatic facilities around the world.

“This is a great opportunity for us to send the message that swimming lessons save lives,” said Delray Beach Police Assistant Chief Jeffrey Goldman, who is leading the local effort. “Research shows participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent among children aged 1 to 4. Yet many kids don’t receive formal swimming or water safety training. Drowning is preventable and the first step is insuring every child learns to swim.”

Event organizers are projecting several hundred participants for the 2014 life-saving swim lesson at the pool, 1101 NW2nd St. The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson was

created by the World Waterpark Association in 2010 as a platform to help aquatic facilities and water safety organizations work together to communicate the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim.

The event is supported by the following leaders in water safety: the City of Delray Beach Parks and Recreation Department, the Delray Beach Police Department, the Drowning Coalition of Palm Beach County, CRA Media Group, The American Red Cross, Amusement Today, Aquatics International, Athletic Business, The Association of Aquatic Professionals, The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals, Canadian Red Cross, Center for Disease Control Healthy Swimming Program, Colin’s Hope, Drowning Prevention Foundation, INATI, International Swimming Hall of Fame, International Swim Instructors Association, Independent Pool & Spa Service Association, Jeff Ellis & Associates, National Aquatic Safety Company, National Recreation & Park Association, Park World Magazine, Pool Safely, Resort and Recreation Magazine, Starfish Aquatics Institute, Safer 3 Water Safety Foundation, United States Swim School Association, USA Swimming Foundation and the World Waterpark Association.

Due to the limited space of the actual land there is no physical room to expand the runway, which is 6,276 feet long and can only handle airplanes landing at about 60,000 pounds. Therefore, even with a customs facility in place the only types of aircraft that will be able to clear at the

The analysis concluded that a customs facility would be feasible on a user-fee basis, meaning that aircrafts clearing at the airport would have to pay a fee for their right to do so, and it would break even in terms of cost. Airport Authority Executive Director Clara Bennett said the authority board accepted the study this past February and is currently working on refining the cost, “There’s some capital cost…the facility has to be constructed, and in an airport like this, which is limited in land, the location of the facility is critical.” Bennett adds that the overriding issue with this project at the moment is finding the location for the facility, and once a preferred location is identified, further refinement of costs will be made.

The feasibility study was initiated due to a demand from current users of the airport who indicated that they would prefer to fly directly to their home base airport, even if

airport will be any from small single engine airplanes accommodating four to six passengers, to larger jets which usually seat up to 18 passengers.

Based on the findings of the feasibility analysis there’s a potential for the facility to be self-sustaining on an ongoing basis, but the location and capital costs are critical pieces of the decision-making process.

As with the Administration building, this procedure can take up to nine months, “We need to do this to provide the information to the BRAA, so they have all the facts, in order to make the decision,” explains Sherr.

that means paying a fee, as opposed to having to clear customs at other airports such as Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, and then flying to Boca. A customs facility then, would enhance efficiency, safety, and meet an existing demand.

Because the customs facility will cater to the needs of current users of the airport, there is no anticipation of an increase in traffic, “You’re just getting your based people, those who are coming here anyway, a way to come here directly,” says Deputy Executive Director Janet Eaton Sherr.

In regards to the clearing fees, they will be determined based on the size of the aircraft, “A small, single engine, privately owned plane, that’s flown by the owner, coming back from the Bahamas for a long weekend, wouldn’t pay the same as a large, corporate jet,” Bennett explains.

As a public facility, the airport can be used by anyone who owns, operates or rents an airplane, with the exception of com-

Woman’s Family Offers $1,000 for Clues to Find Killer

By Jason Schwartz

Just days after a Boca Raton woman was found murdered near her home, her family is coming forward - asking for help to find the killer.

Susan Roberts, 56, was found dead inside her silver Lexus GX 350 SUV on the side of Sandalfoot Boulevard in the Watergate Mobile Home Park on June 9.

The SUV had been sitting until a local resident discovered her body inside of the car.

Her loved ones spent Monday at the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office, issuing a

heartfelt plea in front of local news outlets, hoping someone will come forward with information about the crime.

“My wife was an angel and she doesn’t deserve this,” Terri Hemings said of his wife as he struggled to contain his emotions.

The family is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that could help lead to an arrest. They say Roberts was last seen alive leaving St. Mary’s Medical Center, where she worked as a pharmacist. Investigators said she was headed home, but never made it. They have not said how Roberts

died and released few details about the case.

Roberts and Hemmings lived just down the road from a mobile-home park, where her SUV sat until a resident made the gruesome discovery. Since then, the family says they’ve been living a nightmare.

“I just want to appeal to anyone with any information, however small or trivial it may be, to come forward because it may help,” said her son, Peter Roberts.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach at 800-458-TIPS.

The victim wrote that he “got up and [Ado] tried again but [he] got to the sidewalk.” The victim declined medical treatment.

Ado was seen on the mall surveillance footage arguing with her husband as he got out of the car and driving at him as he walked away from the vehicle. Ado confessed to hitting him “accidentally” because she was “just mad.” Ado was arrested for Aggravated Battery with a deadly weapon for intentionally and knowingly striking her husband “with a deadly weapon (2008 blue Nissan).”

the victim evicted her from their residence and that “yes [she] pepper sprayed him and [she’s] willing to pay the consquences.”

A bystander was standing near Alvarez’s ex-boyfriend and was “subsequently also pepper sprayed in the face.”

Alvarez was arrested for Aggravated Battery, Criminal Mischief damages of $1000, and Child Abuse for spraying pepper spray within 10 feet of her two-year-old son with no concern for his safety.

Arrest for Battery and Resisting Arrest with Violence

Luis Rodriguez struck a security employee outside of the Blue Martini when the security officer asked Rodriguez to leave.

According to the security officer’s statement and surveillance footage, Rodriguez approached the security officer to apologize and was asked to leave because he was intoxicated. Rodriguez then turned violent.

Officer Joseph Smith stated that he was

working off duty detail when he saw the altercation and moved to aid the victim.

Smith tried to subdue Rodriguez, repeatedly stating “Police, get down.”

Rodriguez refused and continued attempting to strike Smith, who then called for back up and tased Rodriguez. Rodriguez was arrested for Battery and resisting arrest with violence.

Big Boa on the Loose in Boca Neighborhood

By Fred Hamilton

A boa constrictor has slithered its way into an upscale Boca Raton neighborhood leaving residents in a state of alert.

“It’s a big, scary snake,” said Becky Davis, who lives in the Golden Harbour neighborhood for 20 years. “I wouldn’t want to run across it.”

Residents say the elusive snake, estimated to be at least five feet long, has been spotted in various places: trees, bushes, even on a backyard chair on someone’s porch.

The neighborhood association called the Boca Raton Police Department and the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-

mission. A police spokesperson said officers are aware of the situation and will call wildlife officers once xxx.

David Hitzig at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter said someone either intentionally released the boa, or it escaped.

Judging by the size, Hitzig said he does not think the snake is a threat to humans.

The snake is just another example of the growing problem of invasive species invading the Sunshine State, he said.

Anyone who sees the snake can call the police non-emergency number at 561-3686201.

A Funky Biscuit Royal Palm Dinner Theatre Reunion

By Skip Sheffield

Everyone loves Jan McArt- especially those who have worked with her.

That’s why the alumni of Jan McArt’s Royal Palm Dinner Theatre are having a family reunion at 6 p.m. Monday, July 7 in the Funky Biscuit at Royal Palm Place.

The Funky Biscuit restaurant and nightclub occupies the space that for nearly 25 years was Royal Palm Dinner Theatre.

Jan McArt was the owner, producer and frequent star of her dinner theater.

Hundreds, maybe thousands of actors, singers, dancers, waiters, technicians and kitchen personnel worked at Royal Palm Dinner Theatre through the years. All are invited to honor the woman who made it all happen.

“Jan gave so many actors their first start,” says Tim Bennett, who was resident set designer. “Everyone loved and respected Jan. When Lisa Robert visited last December she said why don’t we have a reunion?”

Actress-singer Lisa Robert is doing a lot of the planning and heavy lifting via email from her Los Angeles home. She is creating name tags with photos attached, if available. Locally Dino Lillo, who was house manager and Jack-of-all-trades, has been coordinating plans with Tim Bennett and his actress-wife Leigh Bennett.

“Al Poliak of the Funky Biscuit is hosting the event free of charge, which is a big help,” says Lillo. “The will be a cash bar, and we are giving each attendee a free drink ticket, so Al should do a good business.”

The regular band cranks up around 9 p.m. The Royal Palm alumni committee hopes the band can play a few sing-along show tunes.

“We have over 100 people confirmed to attend already,” says Leigh Bennett. “We wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

Two Restaurants, Same Great Taste

The term “Melting Pot” was originally used as the title of Israel Zangwill’s play about immigrants in America in 1908.

Since then, the term has often been used to describe the immense diversity in the population of the United States. This mixture of nationalities, religions, and traditions has made its way to restaurant kitchens all over the country. Bringing all these elements together Alberto Aletto and chef Anthony Fiorini started 13 American Table, “It’s all about American cuisine. America is a melting pot, so we are a melting pot; we add a lot of different ingredients to the foods we serve,” says Aletto.

On an interview for the Boca Raton Wine and Food Festival, chef Fiorini revealed where the idea came for the name of the restaurant, as well as what impacted the decision for what items to include on the menu, “The name 13 American Table is based on the 13 stripes on the American flag, as well as the 13 colonies. We talked a lot about what America is now: it’s a melting pot; there are many different types of cuisines, so we wanted to feature as many as we possibly could.” In addition to offering a variety of dishes to please every palate, an interesting item that makes the difference

in the food at 13 American is the Josper oven, a charcoal-fed oven/grill, which gives the foods that extra smoky flavor.

In fact, one of the restaurant’s best sellers, the octopus, is grilled in the Josper, as Fiorini describes, “it gives it a nice smoky flavor and crispiness from the grill marks.

We serve it with marinated chick peas, romaine hearts and watercress, a little hummus, red onions, poblanos, and salsa verde; it’s a pretty special dish.”

Prior to opening 13 American Table Aletto already had some experience in the restaurant business as the owner of Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza, for over five years, “It’s been successful; we have a lot of local customers that come with their kids and families; it’s a family-oriented establishment.” Although Tucci’s has a set menu since the main item offered is pizza, Aletto says, “We’re working on changing the menu for the summer, but for now it’s simple: pizza, salad, chicken wings, pasta, and cannoli for dessert.”

Whether you’re hungry for fresh out of the oven pizza, or you’re feeling adventurous and want to explore other cuisines, both Tucci’s and 13 American Table are places where you can be sure all of your gastronomic cravings will be satisfied.

Tucci’s is located at 50 NE 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33432 Mon: 5:30pm – 10pm; Tue-Sat: 12pm – 3pm & 5:30pm – 10pm Sun: 4:30pm – 10pm *Parking behind restaurant*

“Dragon 2” Family Fun for Kids of All Ages Photo by Dreamworks Animation

“How to Train Your Dragon 2” is an entertaining sequel for the child in all of us.

Canadian director Dean DeBlois adapted Cressida Cowell’s book series for the first “How To Train Your Dragon” computeranimated adventure in 2010 and wrote this sequel as well.

Most of the major characters have returned, including the main character of Hiccup, voiced by Jay Baruchel. In the first episode, in order to please his fearsome Viking father Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), little Hiccup shot down a black flying dragon, but did not have the heart to kill it. Dragons you see had been plaguing the Viking inhabitants of Berk Island. Hiccup instead befriended the woebegone creature and nicknamed him Toothless.

Also returning is America Ferrera as the

voice of Hiccup’s plucky girlfriend Astrid; Craig Ferguson as the goofy Gobber and Jonah Hill as Snotlout.

During one of their dragon races, which are all the rage, Hiccup and Toothless go off course and discover a secret ice cave that hides the biggest, coldest creature of all.

New characters include Djimon Hounsou as the powerful “Night Fury” Drago and Kit Harington as Eret, his jerky, egotistical son.

The action is continuous. There is a lot of racing around, battling and kidnapping, but more laughs than real violence, and those brightly-colored, doofie dragons are so darn cute. I am allegedly a grownup, but I enjoyed all the childish fun a lot.

Health Food Gone Bad Many restaurants have menu items that sound healthy and when done properly are healthy; however they may not make them desirable for calorie conscience people to eat.

Take the chocolate muffin with a nice sugar glaze, yummy. But that cannot be good for you, so instead you opt for the healthy bran muffin. Not so yummy and quite dry. Well add a good dash of honey, it is all natural, and now it is sweat. Lots of calories in honey!

So now it is sweat but it is still tough to chew. So they add in dried fruit, fruit is natural and good for you! However a raisin can have 3-4 times as many calories when compared to a grape. If the bran flour is ground very fine, so as to prevent it from being as easy to chew as cardboard, then

it has the same affect on your blood sugar as white flour. The part that makes whole wheat flour good for you is the chunky bran, but that is the part you do not like.

So they grind it to a fine powder.

You are left with a high calorie snack that will ruin your diet as fast as fast food.

How about fruit juice. Fruit is good, Right?

Yes and no. You see whole fruit is good for you as your body has to break down all the fibrous cells that hold the sweat juice. This only allows the sugar in the juice to slowly get into your blood so that there is not an insulin dump that will make you hungry soon. If the fruit is squeezed then your body does not slowly release the juice but quickly allows it into your blood, increasing your chances of eating again quickly.

DIVORCE FLORIDA STYLE

FAITH

By Mike Gora

By Robert J. Tamasy

The Cost of Investing-and Not Investing Two company executives were discussing the considerable cost of training and developing people within their organization.

The chief financial officer asked the CEO, “What happens if we invest in people and they leave?” The CEO looked directly at the CFO, paused and then replied, “What happens if we don’t invest in people - and they stay?”

A thought-provoking question, right? In most companies, regardless of size, some people are like dead wood - handling responsibilities, striving to meet deadlines and receiving paychecks, but not growing or becoming stellar contributors to the organization’s mission and goals. There might be other factors involved, but often we simply have failed to invest in them.

We see advertisements and commercials about financial investments - how to increase one’s net worth or savings for the future, especially for those approaching retirement age. However, there is probably no greater investment than to share one’s time, energy and experience with other people, regardless of whether results feel like “success.” It is far better to invest in people and lose some that move on to better opportunities than not to invest and become burdened with people operating well below their potential and capabilities.

It can be argued the true mark of a leader is not what occurs while he is in control, but what happens after he leaves. Does the work continue and grow, or does it stagnate or die? A dedicated leader investing in and

developing people that work for his or her organization will leave an enduring legacy, whether those individuals remain with the company or leave for key leadership roles at other places.

By contrast, poor leaders leave unstable, even crumbling enterprises when they are removed from the picture, much like a house of cards. Their legacy, often because of selfishness, pride and an unwillingness to invest in others, is failure and futility.

During His time on earth, Jesus Christ invested in a handful of ragtag disciples, none of whom would have been voted “most likely to succeed.” Yet when He departed from the earth, He entrusted them with His mission, one that continues to be embraced by countless millions today.

Jesus gave His followers simple instructions: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19). And the apostle Paul, the beneficiary of a long-term investment in his own life by a faithful man named Barnabas, told young Timothy, “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others” (2 Timothy 2:2).

Maybe someone invested in you. Whether we lead large corporations, have our own businesses, are managers or even employees in a small department, we each have a unique, significant sphere of influence.

Who are you investing in? And if you’re not investing in them, who is?

Charging Lien Q

I finally wrapped up my divorce case two weeks ago at mediation. My final hearing is scheduled for next week. I owe my attorney about $25,000. The money that I need to pay his bill is currently subject to a “freeze” or injunction in the cash portion of my brokerage account, but will be released to me as soon as the divorce is final.

Today, by e-mail I received a “Notice of Charging Lien” from my attorney, who also sent a copy of the notice to my stock broker. I called my guy at the stock broker’s office and he explained to me that he will not be able to release any money or shares to me until the lawyer’s bill is paid.

This lien will tie up the whole $150,000 I have in my account.

I like my lawyer and he did a great job for me. I planned to pay him soon after the divorce as I could, but I have a lot of other bills to pay as well. I am about four months behind on his bill. I can’t believe he tied up all of my money. How can he do that?

A

The right to use a charging lien to assist lawyers to collect their fees does not appear in any Florida Statute but has been

established though a series of appellate decisions in the Florida Supreme Court and the State’s District Courts of Appeal.

If at the end of a case you are behind in your payments of legal fees and costs, and if you lawyer has obtained cash, stocks or bonds, of other property for you he or she can secure their payment by sending you the Notice of Charging Lien, and sending a copy of the Notice to your banker or broker.

The Charging Lien cannot attach to other remedies in divorce like alimony or child support. The remedy is not available your lawyer unless the two of you have signed a retainer agreement which gives the lawyer a right to file the lien. If you dispute the fairness of the amount of fees asked for you can object at a court hearing.

If your lawyer’s notice includes your broker, bank it will tie up your funds until the fees are paid. If the amount that you have deposited is far more than the fees your lawyer will usually agree to reserve a reasonable amount of money and release the rest. He or she can reserve the fees and costs you owe, plus additional fees for his time in collecting his bill.

Homes Inside and Out

By Joshua Carlson

7 Things to DO to Increase the Value of Your Appraisal Part 2 Last week we discussed things to DO to increase the value of your properties appraisal. We covered the number 1 (Talk to the appraiser prior to the visit) and number 2 (Take care of smaller repairs) things to DO. The following are the additional 5 things you should DO to increase the value of your appraisal…

3. Tidy up a bit:

It does not have to look like Mr. & Mrs. Clean live there, but it should not look like an episode of ‘Hoarders – Buried Alive’ was just filmed there either. First impressions do count and usually set the tone for the appraisal. Do put forth some effort; mow the lawn, trim the hedges and clear away debris, inside & out.

4. Prepare & share:

Make a short list of improvements, up-

grades and/or renovations you’ve made to the property since you’ve owned it. It does not matter if big or small… include it. You can include information like how much you spent on that custom kitchen and when it was completed. If you’ve enclosed a Florida room or garage and did it legally, show the appraiser the open and closed permits.

An increase in livable square footage area increases your property value. As you may know, public record data is not always correct. Lastly, if you have the site survey, show it to the appraiser. That little piece of paper is very helpful to them because it’s chock full of information that goes into an appraisal report.

5. Keep your appointment:

Almost nothing is more aggravating to an appraiser than driving clear across town for a scheduled appraisal and you forgetting the

appointment. Respect their time and they will respect yours.

6. Get your Realtor to do the walk-through: They’re the local expert as well. They speak the same language and can offer insights such as possible pending sales ready to close. Even things such as how the retaining wall abutting the subject property is also a sound barrier which is why it does not suffer from any external obsolescence, etc.

7. Ask for a copy:

You should ask for a copy of the appraisal report. Most of the time you will have to get the appraisal report from the lender as the appraiser will not be able to send it to you directly. Having a copy of the appraisal is the first step in disputing an unusually low value of the home. Perhaps the square footage was misrepresented because the

property wasn’t physically measured, the bedroom/bathroom count was incorrect or the condition was misrepresented. Whatever the issue, it starts with scrutinizing the appraisal report. Even if you had a favorable valuation, you should ask for a copy of the report. The longer you wait to ask for it, the less likely you’ll be in getting the lender to provide it.

If you have any questions in reference to appraisals you can contact Florida State Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser Mahmoud (Moody) Sir at 954-553-1243 or info@sirappraisal.com. He has been honing his craft as an appraiser for over a decade.

MGC Investments Holds First Remodeled Auction Real Estate auctions have become increasingly popular in the real estate market of the last few years and made accessible to virtually everyone via online auction websites. If asked, most people would say they associate a real estate auction with a highly distressed (most like foreclosed) property and the opportunity to purchase it at a deep discount.

In keeping with its mission to constantly innovate in the real estate market, MGC Investments is putting a new spin in the real estate auction market by auctioning off a completely remodeled home. Unlike the homes that one is likely to find in online auction websites, this home comes with all the modern upgrades, including new cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, new wood floors in the living areas and carpet in the bedrooms, updates bathrooms and even a new roof. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is located in the highly desirable Lake Ida area of Delray Beach only a few minutes to the beach and the shops and restaurants of Atlantic Ave. “We are really going against the grain by auctioning a property of this caliber in such a premium location and with this level of upgrades.”

But what about the second part of the popular perception about real estate auctions? That of purchasing properties for amounts significantly below market value. “With this home we created the unique marriage between desirability and opportunity where someone is going to walk out of that auction with an amazing home at an amazing price.”

MGC Investments is also innovating by actually going back the original style of auctions: on site with an auctioneer.

“We choose to partner with Stampler Auctions of Dania Beach, FL. A successful auction begins with the right type of marketing and exposure, preauction open houses and the registration of serious buyers. Stampler has 40 years of experience in this market and we feel they are an integral part of making this a successful endeavor.”

The house can be previewed by interested parties on Saturday June 28th from 10am until 12:00pm and the Auction will take place on Sunday July 6th at 12 noon on site at the house (316 Beverly Dr, Delray Beach). “We are very excited for this new venture and can’t wait to hear the auctioneer hit the gavel and say “Going once, going twice, sold!”.

Suffolk Construction’s Charity Golf Tournament Raises $85,000 for HomeSafe

Suffolk Construction announced that its 8th annual Charitable Golf Tournament raised $85,000 for HomeSafe, a charity helping victims of severe child abuse and domestic violence in Palm Beach County and South Florida.

The popular event, which attracted 180 of construction industry professionals from

across Florida, included breakfast, a round of golf at the famed PGA National, lunch, prizes and awards. All participants were provided with brand new Nike golf bags. Julian Estrepo, a HomeSafe success story, gave an emotional speech educating attendees about his childhood challenges and how HomeSafe prepared him to become a productive member of society.

“Hearing Julian’s story really drove home the importance of HomeSafe’s efforts in our community. Everyone at Suffolk is extremely proud to be able to support such a great organization,” said Suffolk’s Chief Operating Officer Peter Tuffo.

“We’re honored that Suffolk Construction

selected HomeSafe as the charity of choice for its first-class event,” said Matthew Ladika, HomeSafe CEO. “Suffolk Construction plays an integral role in helping HomeSafe prepare children and families for safer, more productive lives. Not only does Suffolk provide financial support, but its staff regularly dedicates its time and talents to work with our clients.”

Proceeds from the event will be equally shared to support HomeSafe’s intervention and prevention programs, and a future capital campaign.

Apura Juicery and Coffeehouse Plans to “Empower” Boca Apura Juicery and Coffeehouse will join with The Gab Group to promote its products in late summer or early fall. Apura products are “made with intention” as Susan Mussaffi plans to show people that what they eat affects how they feel.

“Susan has a passion for living with intention and teaching others about the powerful mind-body benefits of plant-based food and drink,” said Michelle Soudry, the founder of The Gab Group who has been hired to help Mussaffi launch her new company.

Apura products will be made fresh daily, by hand, and are GMO, gluten, soy, and dairy free. Apura specializes in cold-brewed coffees, fresh juices, and flavored nut “mylks”

— plant based milk-like substances. The juices will all be unpasteurized, coldpressed, and will use organic produce whenever possible.

The plant-based food offered by Apura ranges from specialty salads to faux sushi.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Apura will be located on Powerline Rd and Palmetto Park Road.

“These offerings will not only look and taste great but will increase energy levels and ensure that patrons get their daily nourishment the way nature intended,” said Soudry.

Featuring “rustic-chic” decor and communal seating, Mussaffi’s goal is to “empower the community” with plant-based foods.

Gourmet Doughnut, Coffee Coming to Boca

By Jason Schwartz

South Florida entrepreneurs Athan Tom Prakas and Davin Tran are looking to reinvent the traditional doughnut-and-coffee experience by opening a gourmet doughnut and craft-brewed coffee shop in Mizner Plaza.

“Take all your preconceived notions about doughnut and coffee shops and throw them out the window,” said Prakas, a mega-real estate broker. “We’re pushing the limits of innovation and creativity with the besttasting doughnuts you’ll ever have. Our craft-brewed, small-batch-roasted coffee is the perfect complement.”

The chain’s 1,200-square-foot location is expected to open in July.

A Delray Beach location at 123 E. Atlantic Ave., is also scheduled to open in November/December.

Boca Raton Native, Jozy Altidore Out of Group Play With Harmstring Injury

At the time it looked as if the hopes and dreams of not only Jozy Altidore, but the entire United States was crushed. Altidore pulled up short, clutching his left hamstring after a pass from Michael Bradley in the 18th minute of their Group G opener versus Ghana.

Altidore went down in agony, clutching his left hamstring.

“I was sprinting and I felt something,” Altidore told Newsday. “I was crushed. I

knew right away I couldn’t continue. It was the worst feeling.”

“We’ll see what happens. I’m praying for the best,” Altidore optimistically said.

This wasn’t the first time Altidore has had hamstring problems. In 2011, he missed the Gold Cup semifinal and the final against Mexico after coming up lame in similar fashion in the tournament quarterfinals.

After finally ending his scoring drought on June 7th versus Nigeria in Jacksonville,

Florida, the 24-year old striker received high praises: “[Altidore’s] sharp, he’s hungry,” Jurgen Klinsmann told reporters. “So we build on that. … Go out there and be hungry, and once you get an opportunity, you’ve got to put the ball in the net. I think he’s on a really good path.”

So it’s no surprise the injury to Altidore came as a shock to most of the team, “to have that happen to him [Altidore], your heart just goes out to him and we hope he can come back,” captain Clint Dempsey said after the match. “But, Aron came in and did a good job.”

“It was disappointing, we’ve ridden him [Altidore] for four years,” added Tim Howard following the win.”But that’s why you build a squad. Aron came in right away and did well. Yeah, it affects you but you have to overcome that and we did that. You don’t want to see that but Aron came in and filled that role.”

Aron Johannsson, the 23-year old Icelandic-American who was born in Mobile, Alabama, currently plays for Dutch-side AZ Alkmaar which coincidently enough, is Altidore’s previous club prior to his move to EPL-side Sunderland. Johannsson has already scored 26 goals this season for AZ this season.

The skillful Alabama-Native has dual-

citizenship, and he was actually called up for a game for the Icelandic national team in 2012 but did not make an appearance due to a groin injury. In July 2013, he announced that he would instead play his international soccer for the U.S. In only nine caps for the National Team, Johannsson has already showed his scoring abilities by scoring two goals, and the skillful, agile forward will be one of the players to watch for the rest of the World Cup as he proves to the United States fanbase that Klinsmann made the right choice in picking him over Landon Donovan.

Just like at AZ, Johannsson will now have to fill the void left by Altidore, whose status for the rest of the World Cup is up in the air.

“My heart goes out to him [Altidore],” Dempsey said. “You could see the tears in his eyes going back to the locker room, so we wish him a speedy recovery. He’s a big player for us, and it hurts to have him go out of the game.”

Altidore has been ruled out of the Group stage but hopes to be ready for the Round of 16, if the USMNT get past Germany.

However, hamstring injuries are tricky and this could cost Altidore the entire World Cup, we will have to wait and see.

Ellen Chambers Named SSC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year; Woman of the Year Nominee

By Chad Beattie

Not a bad way to close out a stellar fouryear career. Just weeks after winning back-to-back NCAA Division II national championships, the women’s golf program’s fifth national title and Lynn University’s 22nd overall, senior Ellen Chambers has been named the 2013-14 Sunshine State Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the conferences’ nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.

Chambers is the first student-athlete in SSC history to receive both the female scholarathlete of the year and the nomination for NCAA Woman of the Year award. She is the second Fighting Knight to garner female scholar-athlete of the year accolades (Christine Johnstone – 2010) and fifth overall (Gareth Dunn – 2001, Gabe MacDougall – 2008 and Lee Porter – 2009), and is the second from Lynn to earn the Woman of the Year nod (Alex Schunk – 2007).

Additionally, teammate Jessica Bradley was named the SSC Female Athlete of the Year, making this the first time in league history a school has swept all three accolades. This is the fifth time on the female side, and 10th overall, a school has claimed both athlete and scholar-athlete recognition.

The senior was chosen for both awards in a vote conducted among the conference’s athletic directors, senior woman administrators, athletic communication directors and faculty athletic representatives from each of the nine member institutions.

Chambers was a member of the No. 1 Lynn women’s golf team, which won back-toback national championships in 2013 and 2014. She also helped lead the Fighting Knights to their first-ever SSC Women’s Golf Championship in 2014.

The international relations major held a perfect 4.0 grade-point average and was named the 2014 NCAA Elite 89 Award recipient at the women’s golf championship in May. She

was runner-up for the same award in 2013.

Chambers was named to the Capital One/ CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large First Team. Most recently, the senior was named the 2014 Lynn University ScholarAthlete of the Year.

The senior will be named to the SSC Spring Commissioner’s Honor Roll for a fourthstraight year.

Chambers earned the 2014 NCAA Division II South/Southeast Super Regional individual medalist after winning with a three-round score of 218 (+2). She was named 2014 WGCA All-America Honorable Mention and to the WGCA All-South Region team. In her four-year career, Chambers recorded a 77.74 stroke average in 105 rounds with 16 top-10 finishes and two tournament victories. She owns the program’s career record for rounds played and ranks 7th in both stroke average and top-10 finishes.

Lynn finished the season undefeated against all NCAA Division II opponents and won a Division II record 11 tournaments. The Fighting Knights tied a SSC record with seven consecutive tournament victories during 2014.

Chambers was an active participant in the Lynn Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) all four years of her collegiate career. She also served as the Vice President of Lynn’s International Affairs Society from 2012-14.

Chambers was inducted into the Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science Honor Society (2014), Lynn University’s President’s Honor Society (2013) and Lynn’s University Honor Society (2012).

As the SSC’s nominee, Chambers will compete against hundreds of other nominees from all three NCAA divisions for the prestigious NCAA Woman of the Year award.

Last year’s SSC nominee, Lauren Boudreau from Nova Southeastern, was an NCAA Woman of the Year Top 30 honoree.

Golf Life in boca

By Stan Moore

NEED A BOOST?

Father of The Golf Cart R.J. “Dick” Jackson, a car salesman from Houston, Texas. One day in the late 1940’s, he saw a teenager named Preston Moore toting his golf clubs around on a scooter at River Oaks Country Club. Jackson suffered from arthritis and had a difficult time lugging his clubs around all day long, so he recognized it as a great idea. He immediately went out and bought a small three wheeled, gas powered utility vehicle, and added a bench to the front and a compartment for his golf bags to the back. Jackson called this first golf cart the “Arthritis Special” and patented it in 1948. He only made a dozen or so of the carts, but one caught the eye of John T. Watson, owner of Watson Distributing in Houston, who bought the patent and started mass producing them.

Golf carts now a $300 million industry, have since transcended the game and become a part of society. Even NASA’s highly publicized Mars Rover has been called an “$820 million golf cart.”

Jessica Bradley Honored as SSC Female Athlete of the Year

By Chad Beattie

Lynn University’s Jessica Bradley earned the highest honor the Sunshine State Conference can bestow following the announcement she has been named the 2013-14 SSC Female Athlete of the Year.

She becomes the third Fighting Knight to claim female athlete of the year accolades (Jannie Nicolaisen – 1999 and Aimee Murch – 2005) and sixth overall (Ross Lumsden – 2004, Nicolas Boisvert – 2007 and Dan Wright – 2009).

Additionally, teammate Ellen Chambers was named the SSC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award, making this the first time in league history a school has swept all three accolades. This is the fifth time on the female side, and 10th overall, a school has claimed both athlete and scholar-athlete recognition.

A junior from Bishops Nympton, England, Bradley led the No. 1 Fighting Knights to a second consecutive NCAA Division II national championship in 2014, defeating national runner-up Barry by 29 strokes.

The victory was one of an NCAA Division II record 11 during the season, including a stretch of seven straight which tied a SSC record. Lynn’s win total was also comprised of the South/Southeast Super Regional and the first SSC Championship in program history and No. 31 for the University.

Bradley’s individual season was one for the record books in which she finished as the top-ranked individual in NCAA Division II, the Women’s Golf Coaches Association National Golfer of the Year and SSC Women’s Golfer of the Year. She was also named to the WGCA All-America First

Team, All-SSC First Team and WGCA AllSouth Region Team.

Her success was not limited to just awards as she posted a 73.27 stroke average, which set a school record and led the SSC. She finished in the top-10 of all 13 tournaments to set another record and tied a third mark by winning three tournaments.

At the national championship, Bradley finished as the individual national runner-up to teammate Louise Manalo by one stroke with a four-over par 288. In the South/ Southeast Regional she claimed seventh with a six-over 222 to finish four shots back of Chambers and she earned All-SSC Championship honors with a fourth place finish at the conference tournament.

In addition to her success on the links, Bradley has also been recognized for her work in the classroom. The junior is set to be named to the SSC Spring Commissioner’s Honor Roll for a third time. She was named to the Capital One/CoSIDA Division II Academic All-America At-Large First Team after earning a spot on the Academic All-District 5 At-Large First Team in 2014.

Bradley was chosen for the award in a vote conducted by the conference’s athletic directors, senior woman administrators, athletic communication directors and faculty athletic representatives from each of the nine member institutions.

Rollins leads all Female Athlete of the Year selections with seven, followed by Florida Southern (six) and Barry (four). Lynn is tied with Tampa and Nova Southeastern with three honorees while Eckerd has one pick.

Yes, it’s an extreme long shot and it probably isn’t going to happen. However just flirting of the idea of having David Beckham’s MLS franchise play in Boca Raton would make any soccer fan giggle like a little girl.

With two plans in Miami being declined by the county, maybe it’s time to look elsewhere for a stadium. While Miami Beckham United continues their pursuit of a soccer stadium location in Miami, if the group was to look north they would see a fantastic opportunity waiting to be tapped.

According to The Palm Beach Post, Florida Atlantic University reached out to Beckham’s real estate advisors a few months back in regards to using their new 30,000seat football stadium as the new home for MLS, however they have not heard back.

“It would be an extreme long-shot,’’

George Linley, executive director of the county’s sports promotions agency, said of FAU’s chances of luring Beckham’s team.

“But if David Beckham would give me and FAU the time of day, I think I could sell him on it.”

There are certain hurdles that FAU and Beckham would have to face in Boca Raton as well, but at this stage in the game, just letting Beckham know there is another option would be a big deal.

Palm Beach County has a rich history of soccer, with over five youth leagues, and thousands of kids playing the sport in the area, many of the fans of Beckham’s Miami team would be the kids and parents of these soccer leagues. A move to Palm Beach Country wouldn’t be the popular choice among fans, but it would be the smart business move for the English football icon.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and less numbness.

use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.”

"Circulatory dysfunction affects MOST of the adult population in the United States.

Heart Disease, Strokes and Diabetic conditions are at epidemic levels; anything that improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really works!” states Dr Jahner.

Results in Minutes?

John G. of California claims he felt immediate results with his tired, swollen feet. “Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad set to low and wrapped around my calf. I will be replacing my entire set of dress socks with these socks!”

Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues. “My feet felt wonderful, cool, and I never got that pins and needles feeling anymore. I love my BambusaTM socks,” says Nancy, from NJ. They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet.

Goodbye to Pain and Numbness Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results.

“The issue for me was per-

sistent numbness in my toes - it was gone completely after a few days of wearing these socks! Being diabetic, I never had pain-free feet UNTIL NOW!” “I went out on the golf course for 18 holes of golf, and when I got home my feet weren’t swollen, they weren’t sweating and my feet didn’t hurt,” says Lou B. from New York.

BENEFITS: • Increased blood flow and oxygen • Reduced swelling and pain • Anti-microbial • Wicks away moisture • Increased range of motion IDEAL FOR: • Neuropathy • Raynaud's Syndrome • Cramping • Cold Feet Tom from NJ reports, “I suffer from chronic foot cramps.

My feet were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the BambusaTM socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with BambusaTM. My feet feel great now.”
