Community The Search for a Kidney Donor

By: Michael Demyan

Cynthia, Heather and Jennifer Flood all know what it is like to be desperately searching for a kidney donor.

In 2008, their 60-year-old father needed one, but tests unfortunately found that none of the three sisters were a match. So they decided to turn to an online website to find one – Craigslist.

“We had thousands of people nationwide reaching out to want to test for our dad,” Jennifer Flood said.

Many of them did not work out due to age, health or blood type, but a woman from California was finally discovered as a match. In December 2011, their dad received his new kidney.

The sisters were so grateful for the amount of people who wanted to help their dad that they decided they should return the favor, so together they founded a nonprofit called The Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation of America to help find donors for those in need.

“The waiting list [for transplants] is ridiculous,” Flood said. “They could wait 2-10 years for a donor and if that doesn’t happen, they’re going to pass away or remain on dialysis for the rest of their life.”

They do their best to find the donors faster and so far, they have been instrumental in finding them for nine kidney transplants, most recently for a fifth grade teacher in West Palm Beach and Jon Bon Jovi’s attorney, Jerry Edelstein. Now they are searching for their 10th.

Al Solomon, 78, of Weston is currently in need of a donor. The retired businessman, father and grandfather is searching for someone with an “O” blood type. Along with the help of The

Flood Sisters, Solomon’s daughter, Marcy Dorfman Salenieks, has also created a Facebook page where she posts updates in hopes of finding a person willing to donate.

“I know he is 78, and some might think he may be too old to be worthy of receiving a kidney, but I can not agree,” she wrote. “I can think of so many amazing things he could still see: that I long for him to see. My youngest graduating high school, my boys getting married, the lions in South Africa he has wanted to marvel at his whole life, and every other miraculous moment we can share as a family.”

Solomon is currently registered at the Cleveland Clinic as well as Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He is not feeling the effects of dialysis very well, but his family and The Flood Sisters all still have hope.

“The family is very supportive,” Flood said. “They all live close by. They love what we do.”

If someone willing to complete a transplant is found, Flood will perform a preliminary screen to make sure they are healthy and have the correct blood type. After they pass the screen and are confirmed as a match, they are connected with a hospital.

For The Flood Sisters, finding a match for someone in need is extremely rewarding and by the time the process is over, a strong bond is developed.

“They’re like part of our family,” Flood said.

For those who are interested in testing to see if they will be a match for Solomon, the Flood Sisters Kidney Foundation can be reached at 646-715-8976 or through their website at floodsisters.org.

FAU Greek Life - Shining a Light on the Unknown

By: Gabriel Diaz

Hazing, pledging, chugging, parties. These are the common terms associated with fraternities and sororities nationwide. Stories relating to these terms have surfaced nationwide, such as the most recent Penn State incident in which a pledge of Beta Theta Pi fraternity fell to his death and was found to have had a blood-alcohol content reading of between .26 and .36.

Luckily for the Boca Raton community, the Greek life system at Florida Atlantic University is not broken. This is due to the fact that FAU has a very strict anti-hazing policy, and “anyone found to be hazing will be dealt with quickly and severely” according to FAU President Dr. John Kelly in his statements on the video about Hazing Education found in the FAU website. In response to what happens when someone is found to be hazing in FAU the Fraternity and Sorority Life office said that “All hazing allegations and investigations occurring in the FAU community, be it individual or organizational in nature, are facilitated by the Dean of Students Office.”

Greek life in FAU is a benefit to the Boca Raton community for a few very important reasons, and should be embraced by the community as a whole.

Taking a look at the numbers, over five percent of FAU undergraduate students are members of fraternities and sororities. This means that there are over 1,500 Greeks roaming around Boca at any given time.

“The Greek community at FAU is the largest socially active demographic of the 30,000 + student population at FAU,” stated Brandon Sirota, the President of the Interfraternity Council.

Although 1,500 students does not seem like a lot of people in comparison to the total population in Boca, the

www.bocaratontribune.com

Greek community does a lot more than some would think.

In 2016 the FAU Greek community completed over 5,000 hours of community service ranging from beach cleanups, to helping pack lunches at Boca Helping Hands and other philanthropic events through the local community.

“I feel the relationship between the Greek community at FAU and the greater Boca Raton community is reciprocal in nature,” said Sirota. “There are many opportunities to engage the community through philanthropic events, community service, social networking among peers, alumni, local residents and more.”

Greek life at FAU raised nearly $150,000 for charitable organizations, both local to the Boca Raton community and nationally to causes like Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, The Ability Experience, Ronald McDonald House Charities and others. This is quite impressive for a set of only 1,500 students within a community of around 30,000 at FAU and over 91,000 in Boca Raton.

Greek life has grown in FAU periodically every year. Talks of expansions and improvements to 20th Street will make it so that Greek life’s presence could be more defined in the Boca Raton community within the next five, 10 or 25 years.

“I’ve been extremely adamant that increasing the size and number of Greek organizations at FAU is necessary to help build up the community we have, and that Greek housing should be an integral part of that necessity,” added Sirota.

The idea of Greek housing has been pitched and catched for many years and could improve the FAU community to make it even more of a true university, rather than the commuter school it is trying to steer away from.

FAU Looks to Shed Commuter School Label with Plans for College Town By: Jack Rubin

Florida Atlantic University is one of the fastest growing schools in the nation, rapidly expanding right here in Boca Raton. Large-scale questions and concerns about the future of FAU in Boca have come with the university’s sudden growth.

Of the close to 30,000 Owl undergraduate students, just 17 percent live in college housing. 25,596 students are enrolled at the primary Boca Raton campus, yet the campus only offers housing for 4,000 students.

Acknowledging reality, the university is a commuter school. A city report on the “University District” that analyzed Boca Raton’s traffic issue cited “FAU’s historic positioning as a commuter campus.” However, as FAU gains national appeal with its growing prestige (and proximity to the beach), it needs to become a real, residential college campus.

The City of Boca Raton is moving forward with plans to give the city a college town around FAU. Due to increased relations between the university and city officials, the two sides are cooperating to advance the project. A milelong portion of NW 20th Street would be the center of a rebranded “University District”. The stretch spans from the FAU campus entrance on NW 20th Street to Dixie Highway on its east end. The city most recently produced a 17-page full “University District” report in conjunction with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC).

December’s meeting that discussed the University District was the first direct meeting between the university and city officials since 2009. Relations between the university and Boca Raton will have vast effects on if and how these plans are implemented.

FAU President John Kelly and Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie have joined forces on the development plan.

Students from an FAU architecture course won Kelly over two years ago with a model of what the redesigned street could feature. Suggestions included new restaurants, apartments, walkways, and

shops.

Boca Raton residents and Florida Atlantic students alike will be the first to acknowledge that Boca is not close to being a “college town”. Such a change will not happen overnight either, despite FAU’s expansion in the city. With, as Kim DeLaney of the TCRPC put it,

redevelopment] for probably ten years. It seems like they’re getting closer than they ever were before. I welcome it, and this store is perfect for that type of activity, so obviously we think it’s great.”

Situated next door to It’s Owl Time is Munchiez, a sandwich shop targeted at a younger audience. Co-founder

“A majority of the students are traveling in during the day and traveling out in the afternoon,” it is tough to build campus identity. Plans to develop a part of Boca into a student-friendly district have circulated for years, but are now finally coming to fruition.

Both the university and city hope that a place for students to walk around and hang out near campus would entice more students to live on campus.

“I think the commuting aspect contributes to a cultural disconnect for students, but a college town environment could help form that connection,” FAU junior Jake Elman said.

Local stores are embracing the prospects of a younger crowd on 20th Street. For example, It’s Owl Time is FAU’s official merchandise store.

“I think it’s great,” owner Mark Noll said. “I’m excited. I mean, that’s the reason why I opened up in this space, because we’ve been hearing that [20th Street

Pete Cafone saw this coming.

“With the expansion of FAU and this area, we were trying to make sure that established ourselves in the area,” he said.

Despite these FAU-centered stores, an underlooked part of a college modernization of 20th Street is some of the current businesses operating in the area. The city’s report repeatedly references that 20th Street “lacks identity” and does not fit into the campus at all. Kim DeLaney emphasized the lack of campus and street identity.

“When you’re on the 20th Street corridor you don’t know that youre heading to any particular destination; you just all of a sudden arrive and see a sign that says FAU,” she said.

The city report furthered this idea, saying that “As one of the ‘front doors’ to the university, there should be branding with signage, landscaping, amenities, and possibly an architectural

theme.”

Mayor Haynie hopes that the renovation of the street would provide incentives for property owners to “redevelop.” Some of the businesses on 20th Street would not fit into the university’s vision of a college town, becoming roadblocks to the venture. The City has not commented on how they they plan on dealing with existing businesses.

A college town expansion is no small step for this city. The fact of the matter could be that Boca Raton is not ready for a college campus explosion.

Drugs and underage alcohol consumption are an issue on any college campus, and, as FAU expands, concerns are no different. University Park, an off campus housing complex on 20th Street, has struggled with drug trading in its apartments. The city’s report acknowledges off-campus housing safety struggles and adds that “[the] University Park property has generated a disproportionate amount of police and fire calls for service, nearly tripling the number of calls/unit as compared to other multi-family housing projects.”

In its decision to continue planning, the City of Boca Raton hired a private consultant. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council recommended an increased police presence along the corridor and near student housing areas.

“The City and FAU should work together to develop model public/private agreements to address the management and oversight of off-campus student housing projects,” the report reads.

The center of NW 20th Street is located just 1.4 miles from the Boca Raton Police Station, a figure that will certainly aid the proposal’s safety concerns.

The Council placed a massive emphasis on increased communications between the City and FAU concerning everything from transportation to student housing.

Plans to give FAU a college town are finally moving forward. With the City of Boca Raton and its major university seeing eye to eye, FAU will continue to expand as one of the fastest-growing schools in the nation.

Boca Publix Totals 500,000 Pounds of Food Donations to Boca Helping Hands

By: Michael Demyan

In 2011, local Publix Super Markets joined forces with Boca Helping Hands to donate food for those in need. Now six years later, one Publix has reached 500,000 pounds of food donations.

Every Monday and Thursday, a truck from Boca Helping Hands departs to collect food nearing the “best sell by” date from nine store locations. In total, that truck has made 562 stops at the Publix on Powerline and Palmetto.

The milestone was reached on Monday, June 12 and as the truck made its final stop at the warehouse, representatives from Boca Helping Hands and Publix were there to celebrate the accomplishment.

Different types of food ranging from dry goods to produce to baked goods were placed on the scale by Director of Food and Warehouse Operations Bill Harper for the official weigh in.

As that day’s 51 pound donation surpassed 500,000 pounds of total donations from Publix #1361, store manager Marc Taubenkimel released numerous white and green balloons in celebration.

“The commitment of the entire Publix Super Markets family to the local community is well-documented,” Boca

Helping Hands Executive Director James S. Gavrilos said. “Whether funding local charities, donating food, or volunteering, Publix employees are making a difference right here in Boca Raton and the surrounding area.”

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average meal is 1.2 pounds, so the 500,000 pounds of food donated translates to more than 416,000 meals for those in need across the six years the program has been active.

“I have no words to express our thanks at their reaching this milestone,” Gavrilos said.

Boca Helping Hands has been a strong part of feeding those in need in Boca Raton since they started serving the community in 1998. They have been named a four star charity for 11 consecutive years and were named one of the Perfect 100 Charities in 2016.

After starting out by serving three meals per week, they are now open six days per week, while also delivering food to the elderly and disabled.

Now after 500,000 pounds of food have been donated, Publix #1361 and Boca Helping Hands will be looking forward to reaching their next milestone.

Congratulations to the Graduates, Their Families

This is one of my favorite seasons – not because it signals the end of the cool weather and heralds the summer days but its time when one journey ends – at least in the education process.

Students are. Whether that is going to college, a community college or entering the workforce, it’s an important milestone.

I have delivered the moving on or graduation message at four of our schools in the last three weeks and I was moved by the joy and pride that filled those auditoriums.

In most of the cases, it was clear that the students are ready for the journey that lies ahead.

The Boca Raton Tribune extends heartfelt congratulations to graduating students at all our area high schools and to all those who moved on – whether from fifth grade to middle school or from middle to high school. And let us not forget about our “small fries” as well as our homeschool students who are graduating.

I would be remiss if I did not recognize the hard working staff at

Daughter of Zion Junior Academy in Delray Beach. I delivered the commencement address to the eighth graders and four days later, I was in the audience as several dozen precocious angels said goodbye to kindergarten and headed to “Big school.”

What was impressive was the level of promise I saw in those students.

I have been exposed to a few Head Start programs over the years and I am easily impressed when our babies display that they have mastered the basic alphabet and counting. However, I am yet to see another group of students who left me marveling as those DOZJA students.

They could count and knew their colors in Spanish, they knew antonyms and synonyms and they knew their bible verses. And they were so impressive… I have no doubt those students are ready for whatever academic hurdles that lies ahead.

As I told the graduates and audience at all four events, it took a community – in some cases – to help the graduates achieve this goal. Parents pro-

vided nurturing support and at times, the occasional dose of tough love. Mentors played their role and friends and family members offered encouragement.

But it was the teachers who did the lifting. They imparted valuable knowledge and deserves a salute.

I was quite humbled at one of the schools, which had the largest homeless population in the county. As I watched those students walked across the stage, it was obvious to me that their parents did the best they could, given their circumstances.

Many of those students faced hurdles or challenges every day before they arrived at school. But somehow, some of them seemed to have wings and they just soared over the obstacles and challenges that crossed their path.

It is such a wonderful gift and one that never fails to amaze me. And although, not all of them may have had wings that helped them to soar over obstacles - each and every one of them had feet - feet that they used to climb, bit by bit every day, one day at a time and yes, they all got

there. They all achieved their goals!

As I ended each presentation, I left with them my usual parting advice – at least a few: • Never stop learning. It’s a lifelong process.

• Believe you matter … I am sure you have learned that even a 13- or 14-yearold can make a difference in the world.

Personally, I believe that all children can make a difference in a world—someone just has to guide them on how to start – and they got their start there at their local school.

• Don’t be afraid to speak out and help make things better. But listen, too.

• And remember the golden rule: Treat others how you want to be treated. Be respectful.

They do not seek any praise but their skill and dedication to the task of educating the students is enormous. On behalf of the community, I say “Thank you”.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Be Informed!

It is amazing what the current age has brought to humankind, and continues to provide. In a matter of just a few years, information truly exploded, in bringing new tools which accelerate the acquisition of important new facts, especially what can be beneficial to all humans.

Sane persons desire to be informed about new trends, about dangers which may be affecting the human race, concerning the threat of terrorist organizations around the globe, about physical maladies which may be spreading world-wide, and pose a threat to everyone wherever anyone may be situation on earth.

Information is most vital. People need to lead informed lives. And today

we all have the means of getting information, retaining it, and adding more to it in terms of advances or declines of the same. All humans need to be up-to-date about what is crucial for their daily operation and, especially, for their very survival on earth.

We have reached a time in our lives when it is possible to carry the whole world in our hands, as far as having an operative cellular phone which can provide all the basic information one needs about weather conditions, crimes in the neighborhood, threats to one’s security, national and international happenings, and all else that gives one the opportunity to be truly prepared for whatever may come next, as well as to act in the light of what’s taking place right now!

On account of the difficult days in which we live (despite the many advances that have taken place to improve the quality of our life), we still need to take the initiative in seeking whatever will truly help us to live with confidence on account of the information we are constantly being made aware of.

Even with respect to weather changes, we need to be prepared with information we secure about conditions that may bring storms, tornadoes, or other potential dangerous situations, based on scientific methods and devices that can help us intelligently to anticipate such alterations.

Sadly, there are many people who don’t want to be bothered with the information that is always available. They

consider a waste of time to check the newspapers, to watch television news, to talk intelligently with neighbors and friends about conditions that surround us, wherever we may be.

Let us all be more proactive in seeking information with greater diligence, and acting on it accordingly. If that is an activity which is repulsive to you, for some reason, at least find some reliable friend or relative who can keep you well informed, so that changes which are inevitable to occur won’t meet you by surprise, but will allow you to make the necessary plans to avoid the bad consequences of conditions you may have to encounter, whether you like it or not.

Whatever be your way, be informed!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level.

When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

sports Boca Raton FC Rallies from Behind to Defeat Miami United

Boca Raton FC took on a familiar foe, Miami United on Wednesday night at Ted Hendricks Stadium in Hialeah. This was the third meeting between the two clubs since April 30 in a third different competition. This match was an APSL Regular Season game, the previous two matches were in the NPSL Sunshine Conference and the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Head Coach Athirson sprung a lineup surprise this evening playing reserve Goalkeeper Matheus Norder as a striker.

Norder was never far from the action creating several dangerous half chances for Boca Raton in the first half with well-times and dangerous runs. The score however at halftime was deadlocked o-o thanks to a missed penalty for Miami United which was awarded after a foul in the area on Felipe Ferreira.

In the second 45, Miami United won a penalty after a handball in the area and converted the spot kick. Minutes later Gabriel Bravo was sent off for Boca Raton reducing the team to ten men while chasing the match down 1-0. Athirson inserted Christopher Pereira into the match and minutes later the BRFC attacker

converted an opportunity. The equalizer came just seconds after Norder had almost finished a spectacular attacking move sending the ball just wide of the far post. On both moves Ferreira played outstanding long balls from his central defensive position to stimulate a Boca Raton attack despite being down a man.

With the match still level in minute 71, Norder beat an offside trap and was one-on-one with the Miami United keeper who made a spectacular save. Boca Raton continued to press high up the pitch and Miami United had a man sent off for a late challenge in Minute 78 leveling the match at ten vs ten for the last 12 minutes and second half stoppage time. In this period Lorenzo Cava asserted his control of the match with creative midfield play, and box-to-box ball-holding skills that transformed the Boca Raton attack.

As the end of the ninety minutes approached David Adejunmobi lept in the air on a corner kick and finished Boca Raton’s comeback. With the 2-1 victory Boca Raton now is virtually assured a spot in the APSL Playoffs. The team resumes NPSL Sunshine Conference play on Saturday against the Miami Fusion in Aventura. Kickoff time is set for 5:00 pm.

Curtis Selected by Miami Marlins in ’17 MLB Draft

Lynn University's Tyler Curtis has added his name to the list of baseball alums to be drafted in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. The senior third baseman was selected by the Miami Marlins with the 14th pick, 689 overall, of the 23rd round on Wednesday afternoon.

Curtis becomes the seventh player selected from Lynn in the last nine years and ninth since 2003. He is the fourth, and highest-drafted, position player in program history and first since Sal Giardina, Jr., in 2014.

"I am really excited and blessed for the Miami Marlins to give me the opportunity to further my baseball career," said Curtis. "Playing for Lynn University was an outstanding experience and I am truly grateful to head coach Rudy Garbalosa, former coaches Donovan O'Dowd and Andrew Fabian, assistant coaches Chris Piperno and Mike Gonzalez, athletic trainer Andrew Lalli and the rest of the Lynn community for making this dream come true.

"Lastly, a huge thanks goes out to my parents for supporting and motivating me throughout my whole life to help me become a better baseball player as well as a better all-around person."

The Newburgh, N.Y., product enjoyed a stellar senior campaign in which he was honored as a First Team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association, a finalist for the 2017 Tino Martinez Award and the Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year. He became the Fighting Knights' sixth SSC Player of the Year recipient, tied for the most in league history, and fifth in the last six years.

Curtis batted .433 on the year with 13 home runs, 15 doubles, 47 runs batted in and 59 runs scored.

He ranked in the top-10 in nearly every offensive category, including on-base percentage (1st - .518), average (2nd), slugging (2nd - .733), runs (4th) and home runs (9th).

Under head coach Rudy Garbalosa, nine players have been drafted with two more signing free agent deals with MLB clubs. The list of Blue and White draftees includes: Curtis, Max Watt (2015, Boston Red Sox – 22nd round), Giardina (2014, Atlanta Braves – 31st round), Ryan Gibbard (2012, Milwaukee Brewers – 14th round), Andrew Virgili (2011, Chicago White Sox – 11th round), Tommy Kahnle (2010, New York Yankees – 5th round); Gabe MacDougall (2009, Kansas City Royals – 27th round), Nolan Mulligan (2007, Philadelphia Phillies – 26th round) and Beau McMillan (2003, Florida Marlins – 39th round).

Kahnle became the first Fighting Knight to reach the 'Show' when he made his debut April 3, 2014 for the Colorado Rockies against the Miami Marlins. He is now a reliever for the Chicago White Sox. Giardina is currently playing for the Brave's Class AA affiliate team, the Mississippi Braves.
