COMMUNITY Guy Harvey to headline PBSC STEAM luncheon
Dr. Guy Harvey, a marine biologist who gained international recognition for his paintings of sea creatures, will be the keynote speaker for the Palm Beach State College Foundation 2018 STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) luncheon. The affair, presented by Bank of America and chaired by South Florida businesswoman and philanthropist Yvonne Boice, is set for 11:30 a.m. Feb. 7 at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts Cohen Pavilion in West Palm Beach. Ticketsare $150. A table of 10 is $1,500. Harvey’s passion for the ocean and its living creatures dates back to his days growing up in Jamaica. He spent many hours fishing and diving with his father along the Island’s south coast. He began drawing pictures of the many different fish he observed. This love prompted him to pursue a formal education in marine science. He graduated with honors in marine biology from Aberdeen University in Scotland in 1977, and returned home to Jamaica to resume his education, earning his Ph.D. from the University of the West Indies in fisheries biology in 1984. He became a professor of fisheries biology for a short time but eventually pursued his love of art full time after selling all of his artwork at his first appearance at a Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. Harvey’s brand was born shortly afterward. His depictions of sea life, particularly marlin and dorado, are now reproduced in prints, posters, T-shirts, jewelry, clothing, and other consumer items. He’s also become known for his techniques in photographing and filming aquatic life. Suellen Mann, executive director of the PBSC Foundation, said Harvey’s appearance comes at an ideal time, given
the College’s launch this summer of The Reef Hope Project. Led by PBSC professor Dr. Jessica Miles, the initiative allows students to study and experiment with over two hundred one-ton artificial coral reefs built by a local nonprofit organization and placed 1.5 miles northeast from the Jupiter Inlet. During the STEAM luncheon, Harvey will discuss his travels to better understand the habits and habitats of the marine wildlife he paints, discoveries in deep sea research and his work in marine conservation efforts including those to help save the world’s coral reefs. According to the World Wildlife Fund, roughly one-quarter of coral reefs worldwide are already considered damaged beyond repair, with another two-thirds under serious threat. For more information on Harvey, please visit www.guyharvey.com. Follow him on Facebook at www.facebook. com/DrGuyHarvey, on Twitter at www. twitter.com/DrGuyHarvey, connect on Instagram at www.instagram.com/drguyharvey, and tune in to see Guy’s latest expeditions on YouTube at www.youtube. com/user/DrGuyHarvey. The STEAM luncheon sponsors are AlphaMedia, Atlantis Orthopaedics, Bank of America, Comcast, Florida Power & Light, Modernizing Medicine, Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, The Palm Beach Post and WXEL. Proceeds benefit the STEAM initiative, which enters its sixth year in 2018. To date, the initiative has raised more than $2.8 million. Its goals are to increase student scholarships, business partnerships, internships and other academic program enhancements to prepare more graduates for these highwage, high-demand positions in STEAM fields.

Home Mask Relations-A Social Art Project By Isabel Berglund The University Galleries at Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters will present “Home Mask Relations: A Social Art Project by Isabel Berglund.” This participatory art project explores the social spaces of “togetherness,” “relationships” and “home.” The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, Nov. 4 through Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 in the Schmidt Center Gallery, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. There will be an opening reception on Friday, Nov. 3 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The exhibition and opening are free and open to the public. “Home Mask Relations: A Social Art Project by Isabel Berglund” draws meaningful, individual connections through knitting, a popular craft that can show ways in which domestic space has been claimed and delineated in the United States. This is an important conversation for an American audience as issues of rural decline, urban sprawl and the history of land appropriation continues to evolve. Berglund’s immersive, largescale installation will consist of individual hand-knitted panels – made by hundreds of individuals from three American cities – joined together with threads. The artist’s intent is to break down socioeconomic and political divisions or barriers and, in turn, build relationships between people of different backgrounds using the practice of knitting as a guide. The completed installation represents a crosssection of the United States through knitted floor plans unique to each area and created by the artist and community participants. Berglund and the “Knitting Together” workshops have enlisted the help of some 400 participants ages 8 through 95 throughout the United States and will grow to more than 600 after the current “Knit and Stich” workshops in South Florida (Oct. 16 – 27). Berglund has achieved this community outreach and involvement through three university residencies in Phoenix, Arizona (Arizona State University); Bloomington,
www.bocaratontribune.com
Indiana (Indiana University) and Boca Raton (FAU). The collective patches will be sewn together in a massive collage through the hands of the artist into the “Home Mask Relations” installation. Berglund’s installations have been exhibited in various venues worldwide including Collect 2017, London; Seoul Arts Center, Korea; Jean Lurcat & Tapestry Museum, France; Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan; and Museum Bellerive, Zurich. Her work has been featured in numerous publications. Berglund’s most recent project “Monument of Stitches” enlisted the help of more than 650 residents from six cities on the Danish Peninsula Jutland. Each city was represented by a local architectural element or monument constructed from hand knitted triangles; the completed cityscape was exhibited at the Trapholt Museum of Modern Art, Denmark in 2016. All exhibitions in FAU’s galleries are free and open to the public, Tuesdays through Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. School and group tours can be arranged via appointment during public hours or alternative times by e-mailing (knuruddin@fau. edu) or calling the University Galleries at 561-297-2661; or visiting www.fau. edu/galleries. The Schmidt Gallery is in FAU’s Performing Arts Building, while the Ritter Art Gallery is adjacent to FAU’s Wimberly Library on the second floor of the University Breezeway. The “Home Mask Relations – A Social Art Project by Isabel Berglund” exhibition and programs have been made possible in part by the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and Council on the Arts; Cultural Council of Palm Beach County; R.A. Ritter Foundation; and Isadore and Kelly Friedman University Galleries Fund. Museum Education Programs are made possible by Kaye Arts Integration Endowment and Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties.

Chris Evert Tennis Tournament Returns To Delray Beach By: Jack Rubin Chris Evert’s Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic will return to Delray Beach from Nov. 3-5. First held in 1989, the tournament has been a smashing hit every year since, raising money for charities fighting drug abuse and child neglect in South Florida. Last year, the tournament’s contributions to charity eclipsed $700,000. 2017 players include former tennis pro Martina Navratilova, Patrick McEnroe, Scott Foley, Robin Givens, Dr. Phil, David Cook, and IndyCar driver Helio Castroneves. Phil McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil, last participated in the Classic in 2005. He returns to Delray Beach this weekend to compete for the first time since. Other celebrity competitors include Martina Navratilova. Navratilova won 59 total Grand Slam titles, ultimately being declared by one of the top 40 athletes of all time by Sports Illustrated. The former world #1 will play Saturday at 2 o’clock, followed by two matches on Sunday afternoon. Evert and Navratilova squared off in iconic matches in the 1970s and 80s. They played 80 matches in a span of fifteen years, 61 of which were tournament finals. In the end, Navratilova lead the series, 43-37.
November 3 - November 9, 2017
Four-time Australian Olympian Rennae Stubbs will also participate in the competition this weekend. Evert cites Stubbs as one of her charities’ most loyal
the Boca Raton Resort with "Tennis & Lunch with Chrissie & Friends". Attendees who purchase a specific package are given the opportunity to participate in the
supporters. Stubbs has worked the past two summer Olympic games as an analyst for NBC. 2008 American Idol victor David Cook will return to the Tennis Classic for an eighth straight year as well. Cook’s charitable contributions are impressive as well, having raised more than $1 million for cancer research. The star-studded cast of celebrity competitors will make for a great weekend of tennis. Festivities begin Friday at
Pro-Am session. Along with Evert, celebrity participants and other tennis-pros will be on the courts to hit balls and lend advice. Later in the evening at the resort will be the cocktail reception. Patrons and sponsors are invited to attend and meet celebrities and professionals. Evert’s incredible tennis career came to a close in 1989, when she immediately turned her attention to philanthropy. On the court, Evert won 18
www.bocaratontribune.com
Grand Slam singles championships. She was the world No. 1 singles player seven times, winning 189 total championships. In her 28 years since retiring from tennis, Evert’s efforts have raised over $23.25 million in her ongoing campaign against drug abuse and child neglect. Evert’s successful inaugural event made an instantaneous impact in her South Florida community. The funds raised from the tournament helped cover operations costs at a local drug treatment facility in Palm Beach County. The 1989 opener raised over $350,000. Since then, the Tennis Classic partnered with The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida. Evert works with the Fund to aid and prevent social issues, such as substance abuse by pregnant women. “While tennis has been my profession, helping needy children has been my passion,” Evert said. “It has been my pleasure to work in partnership with The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida to help hundreds of substance-abusing moms get the help they need to give their children a good start in life.” Matches begin Saturday, November 4, at 11 AM. General admission tickets are priced as low as $20. All funds benefit at-risk families around South Florida.

Stellar Revival Comes Home to South Florida for Rockfest
Are You Still Paying Too Much For Your Medications?
After reuniting to perform in front of legendary rock band Bon Jovi in California earlier this year, local band Stellar Revival will be coming to Pembroke Pines for Rockfest Saturday, Nov. 4. The reunion all started when drummer Andrew Koussevitzky received a text from his uncle regarding a contest. Without hesitation, Koussevitzky immediately looked at it and entered Stellar Revival as one of the many bands vying for a chance to perform. Winning was a dream come true. “It was probably the most meaningful concert I’ll ever play in my entire life,” Koussevitzky said. “That sounds a little ridiculous at this point, but I really can’t imagine something being more meaningful than that. Bon Jovi’s always been just a gigantic influence for us, so having that opportunity - it’s beyond anything we could’ve ever asked for.” Stellar Revival said that they were treated like true rock stars throughout the entire experience and it is not one that they will soon forget. Beyond performing, one of the most mesmerizing things about being a part of that concert was simply seeing everything being put together and set up. They recalled the numerous semi-trucks full of equipment and hundreds of guitars. “It was just unbelievable seeing their crew put together the show and then watching it at night and just thinking about how legendary that band is and the fact that we were on that stage the same night,” Koussevitzky said. The performance was a huge stepping stone for the band, who booked some more shows while they were still in California. Even after being separated for so long, once they were back together, it felt like almost no time passed at all. “After the first couple strums of guitar and Andrew playing a little bit, we just kind of jumped right back into it,” lead singer Rino Cerbone said. “It was like we never stopped.” There was a three year absence of Stellar Revival leading up to the California show, whose members went on to do others things and start families. In-
stead of looking at the absence as a loss, they are glad they had time to bring some structure into their lives. It is something they are proud of moving forward, as they are now able to control things with the band on their own terms. “A big focus for us is figuring out how to gear Stellar Revival to fill our lives and not for us to have to make our existence work for Stellar Revival,” Koussevitzky said. After that stint on the West Coast, it was time to return to their normal lives once again. Cerbone went back to his Boca Raton restaurant, South Florida native Koussevitzky continued to stay in California as an attorney, and the rest of the band went to their normal routine as well. Being able to build off of their own revival, coming back to perform in South Florida is going to feel extra special for the group. When they were signed with Capitol Records, every tour date in Florida always seemed to be up north. “This is huge, especially from a comeback,” Cerbone said. “People always used to say that we had to pay our dues and we didn’t have a story. Well now we have the story, we paid our dues, we got kicked to the ground, we got back up and now to play this show, it’s very meaningful for us, not only for our fans, but to actually play in front of our families.” Now after performing with Bon Jovi, they will be leading off at Rockfest before Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Cheap Trick and Lynyrd Skynyrd. When Rockfest comes to a close, they plan to take a break for the holidays, however they expect to be very busy in 2018. With the new year will come a new direction, new team members and new music, which will have a more mature and refined sound. “We’re excited to create new music next year,” Koussevitzky said. “It’s just about creating music at the right time with the right people, in the right setting. That’s the most important thing for us right now and we’re figuring that out and we’re honing in on our targets.” Stellar Revival’s performance will begin at 1 p.m. Nov. 4. Rockfest tickets start at $79 and can be purchased at rockfest80s.com.

Local Production Company Infusing Life into Community Theater
I carved time out of my hectic schedule recently to support two local children who were performing in a play at Palm Beach State College’s Eissey Campus Theatre in Palm Beach Gardens. And after leaving the two-hour production, I was convinced that while Broadway may be the pinnacle of great American theatre, Delray Beach is not far behind. The cast of the gospel stage play, “He is Still More Than Enough”, was no comparison to the talents in New York City. However, this cadre of talented actors and actresses has the potential to be just as relevant as Broadway ever will be. In most communities, the community theater is part of the social makeup, and may be the only local live, performing arts possibility that exists in small venues. Community theater is usually affordable although other entertainment exists. For many students and even some of the adults, the local production was their first introduction to theater unless they performed in church or in their schools. There was a time when one could
always count on the now defunct Caldwell Theatre in Boca Raton and the Delray Playhouse to provide a good dosage of local laughter or even hone their theatrical skills. Somehow, community productions have waned over time. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of plays written by local residents and featuring local talent. Thanks to Delray Beach residents Mark and Sylvia Woods, community productions still have relevance and are playing a huge role in our local people’s lives. The Woods created ChiChiMa Productions and have been using their gifts, talents and their 30-year marriage as a backdrop to minister to the hearts of people for many years. Their most recent production, He is Still More Than Enough!, depicts the story of an unemployed, recently widowed mother of three whose mother, Mrs. Moore, (Rhonda Miller) was diagnosed with a possible illness. To further compound her dilemma, Patrice, played by Theresa L. McCray, has to contend with a mean, inconsiderate and relentless land lady, Ms. Dion,
played by Toccoa Lenair. Patrice’s only solace to her crisis God is More Than Enough! The quality of the performance was equal to or greater than anything one would get at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County or even Broward Performing Arts Center. The staging was excellent, the costumes fantastic, and the singing was outstanding. Sylvia Woods is a published author, poet and playwright. Mark Woods is an accomplished musician, vocalist, and songwriter, who has performed with several renowned artists including Grammy Award-winning gospel singer Darius Brooks and the late Gospel legend Albertina Walker. As I watched the production from the last row in the theatre, I saw natural talent and hope. As a reporter who has covered several plays and performances over my more than three decades in this community, it was not until then that I had a true appre-
ciation for the value of community theatre. I was reminded that many successful actors, directors, writers, and choreographers have launched their careers in humble, small town productions and playhouses. Some members of the cast were making their debut appearance and I could just imagine the joy in their hearts as they performed in front of their loved ones and friends. This was also great outlet for the many who always thought - and even knew - they had it but because they never got a chance to leave the area, their dreams never materialized before now. Thanks to the Woods, the value of community theater remains. It entertains. It educates. And it creates community. I was also impressed to see the many residents, or rather church goers, who were gathered in one place and in one accord. I cannot recall another time, where so many were in one place – certainly not on a Sunday morning. While not surprised, I was very proud to see the caliber of talent that we have in our community.
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
What’s the Point in Being Controversial? Several persons, lacking positive issues to deal with in their interactions with others, appear to use every opportunity to disagree, to act negatively, and to pronounce themselves antagonistically to anything they see or hear from others, especially people with whom they’re already related in some form! In the case of some, it often appears that it’s jealousy that the idea being presented did not originate in themselves. In the case of a few others it may be one of many unjustifiable possibilities. With all such persons, it’s always the spirit of discord, and the intent of meddling into issues not directly addressed to them, which robs their “opinion” from also be-
ing in the limelight! Unfortunately, I notice this all the time, for insignificant reasons or, mostly, for no valid purpose at all. Some people have to meddle into everything, especially when not invited to participate in any discussion. It is a form of insecurity, and their urge of having the final word on anything that’s being discussed. Thus, they prefer to act as fools by provoking unnecessary controversy on issues of little or no consequence at all! This came to my attention recently when a person complained, most improperly, about a clean and historically accurate sign placed in Facebook by another. In order to appear knowledgeable
to her friends in that social medium, she attacked the one who had posted the said picture, and used arguments that could hold no water in terms of accuracy and value. It was a fully unjustifiable, insane over-reaction! Quite often some people, perhaps unknowingly, make themselves foolish by what they choose to address than by the actual things they happen to be attacking. This occurs not only in social media, but in conversations around a table, in office disputes, or in any other forum where opinions and discussions may be presented. I strongly believe in the significant place of controversy in human
discourse, when principles are at stake, but fully deplore those who go out of their way to create animosity where such outlook is not called for. Let us all live with open eyes, attentive ears, but also with mounts that open only when called for, and to produce something constructive instead of unnecessary, and even hurtful, on account of how it is communicated. When it’s not a matter of morality and righteousness, there are always better ways of dealing with similar situations. And that, any intelligent person can easily pursue and provide!

FPL donates $1 million-plus Capital expansion gift to Loggerhead Marinelife Center Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) continues its longstanding support of Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s mission of sea turtle and ocean conservation by donating a leadership gift of more than $1 million to the Sea Turtle Hospital as part of the Center’s Waves of Progress expansion campaign. The noteworthy gift was announced to a sold out crowd at LMC’s Ninth Annual Go Blue Awards Luncheon by Eric Silagy, president and chief executive officer at FPL. The gift will double the size of the enhanced outdoor FPL Sea Turtle Hospital Yard at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, allowing the Center to treat more injured sea turtles, engage with more visitors and students and add new FPL "Solar Trees," providing clean solar energy to the power grid. “FPL is one of the largest clean energy providers in the world, with a long-standing commitment to environmental conservation,” said Jack E. Lighton, LMC president & CEO. “For over three decades, FPL has supported our Center here in Juno Beach, located adjacent to one of the planet’s most important sea turtle nesting beaches. With FPL's donation, LMC has raised 50 percent of our total $14 million goal in just eight months. The support we are receiving from our community and corporate partners is truly humbling." The expanded FPL Sea Turtle Hospital Yard will also feature new exhibits – one showcasing FPL's Loggerhead Solar Energy Center and one showcasing Manatee Lagoon--An FPL Eco-Discovery CenterTM in Riviera Beach, Florida. “Supporting programs at our facilities or local institutions that benefit
the environment is one of the ways FPL contributes to the sustainability of communities where our employees work and live. That’s why we work closely with federal, state and community organizations such as Loggerhead Marinelife Center to help minimize impacts on natural resources and protect the Sunshine State’s wild treasures such as endangered sea turtles,” said Silagy, president and CEO, FPL. “Loggerhead Marinelife Center has a significant role to play in educating the next generation about the importance of conservation and caring for this planet’s special creatures.” Ten years ago, when LMC expanded into its current facility, FPL generously supported the expansion with a leadership gift that helped the construction of the Center’s original FPL Sea Turtle Hospital Yard. In just 10 years, LMC has significantly amplified its conservation and education impact with FPL’s support. Since 2007, the FPL Sea Turtle Hospital Yard at LMC has: ● Received and educated more than two million guests ● Rehabilitated more than 1,000 threatened and endangered sea turtles which were later released into the wild ● Saved and relocated more than 10,000 sea turtle hatchlings ● "Welcomed” more than one million virtual guests to the FPL Live Sea Turtle Web Cam, showcasing the hospital’s life-saving efforts in real time In addition to both transformational leadership gifts, FPL team members have donated more than 1,000 volunteer hours at the Center, particularly helping to renovate areas of LMC during the company’s annual Power to Care Day.
Rose Pays it Forward Through Success Circle Donation By: Kristi Sorrow As the first in her family to graduate from high school and college, Gina Rose has had a lifelong passion for learning. Growing up in a working-class family in the rural town of Ware, Mass., her parents stressed the need to go to college. “Even though they didn’t get a college education, they always wanted that for me,” said Rose, a learning specialist on the Lake Worth campus. “In fact, when I would ask them what I was going to be when I grew up, all they would say is ‘You’re going to College.'” Rose did just that, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in education from the University of Massachusetts. After college, she owned an art studio for a while before moving to Florida where she earned a journeyman electrician trade license and an Associate in Science in graphic design technology from PBSC. Her education opened doors to various jobs throughout her life, including her current one at PBSC, which she says is the perfect fit for her as it combines her trade and academic skills. She began working at the College in 1996. This year, she is one of 120 donors to date who have given to the PBSC Foundation’s 2017 Success Circle campaign to support student scholarships. The employee initiative, which kicked off Sept. 29, runs until Nov. 1. Rose has been giving to the College’s Success Circle campaign for years. This year, she gave her largest donation of $1,000 to support scholarships for students in PostSecondary Adult Vocational and trade and industry fields. For giving at least $1,000, Rose will be invited to a luncheon with PBSC President Ava. L. Parker. “I increased my donation to the Success Circle this year because not only do I have a passion to help people learn, I feel so fortunate for where I am today and to work at Palm Beach State. Through my electrician jobs, I’ve had to crawl in hot attics or stand on the side of highways digging ditches in the rain. To have air conditioning, great benefits and great people around me at the College are things I don’t take for granted.” Rose, who loves working with her hands, has learned many skills throughout her life, but believes everyone should pursue a trade license or at least learn the basics.
“I hate when I see helpless people. Everybody should at least learn something about some trade so they can avoid getting scammed or be able to fix things themselves.” She also hopes to see more females choose to pursue trade careers, and wants them to know that they’re not just for men. “It’s a people’s world not a man’s world. I would tell any female that she could be just as successful as a man in any trade.” Rose knows what it’s like to be discouraged as a female. While she was in trade classes at North Technical Education Center in Riviera Beach, she asked her instructor one day if he thought she could advance to the Electrical Apprenticeship Program when she saw her fellow classmates leaving to do so. “He just shook his head no at me. However, this only fueled my desire to succeed.” Rose was not only successful in the program, she graduated first in her class. Experiences like these only added to her reasons for giving to the Success Circle campaign. According to Rochelle Nolan, director of planned giving, employees give to the campaign for various reasons. “People give because they believe in the power of education and want to see students who might be struggling succeed,” she said. “They themselves might have struggled or have been firstgeneration in college. A scholarship can make the difference between a student being able to stay in school or dropping out. When PBSC employees see that, they just want to help.” The PBSC Foundation has welcomed 69 new donors to date in its current Success Circle campaign. Last year, the campaign had 54 new donors. In 2016, 145 PBSC employees participated in the campaign, which raised $36,500. This year, the Foundation hopes to increase the number of participants to 245 and raise more money. As of now, the campaign has raised $20,362. New to the initiative this year is weekly drawings, where three donors are selected for prize awards. The prizes have been donated by area businesses. Last year, the Foundation awarded $1.6 million dollars in scholarships to PBSC students.

Dine For A Cause Raises over $4,000 for Puerto Rico
By: Bryanna Basilio
Casa D’Angelo hosting of“Dine for a Cause” proved to be success as the evening raised $4.050 to rebuild Puerto Rico. As part of the Hurricane Irma and Maria relief initiative Italian restaurant Casa D’Angelo hosted “Dine for a Cause.” The initiative aimed to help Puerto Ricans whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Irma and Maria. The island nation has a special place in company founder Angelo Elia’s heart, who was a chef there for several years in the early part of his career. “Angelo worked in Puerto Rico for several years and the island has always had a special place in his heart,” said Head Chef, Rickie Piper. “As soon as we heard of the destruction we knew, we had to help. Hosting a special dinner benefitting Puerto Rico was an easy choice.” Priced at $150 per person, the event included a four course meal, three
with a choice between two dishes. Boca Raton Head Chef, Rickie Piper. He conceptualized the menu for the dinner benefiting those affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. “When we conceptualized the menu, we decided to keep it simple and offer guests choices for each course so we could cater to a larger audience,” said Chef Ricky Piper, “We hope our donation has made an impact and we thank everyone who was able to join us.” 100 percent of the proceeds benefitted UNICEF USA Puerto Rico Relief. Kirsten Paindiris, a restaurant patron, also expressed her excitement of the event, “I have close friends who live in Puerto Rico, and after hearing how Hurricane Maria devastated the island, I was looking for a way to help. I was thrilled when I found out Casa D’Angelo was going to host a special dinner to raise funds for Puerto Rico. I was able to give back to those in need, while also enjoying a delicious, authentic Italian meal.”
A.D. Henderson Teacher Wins Hispanic Heritage Month Award Florida Gov. Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott recently awarded Tzeitel Chacon-Rosado, a teacher at Florida Atlantic University’s A.D. Henderson University School, the 2017 Hispanic Heritage Month Excellence in Education Award. The student and teacher contest winners were honored during the annual Hispanic Heritage Month reception at the Florida Governor’s Mansion. Chacon-Rosado teaches Spanish to sixth, seventh and eighth grade students at A.D. Henderson. She was nominated for the award because of her ability to integrate the language and culture into her classroom curriculum. Some of the topics she talks about with her students include stereotypes about Hispanics, Cuban and U.S. relations and the difference between Hispanic and Latino. She also produces a Spanish-speaking cooking show using authentic recipes and choreographs a Day of the Dead dance for Halloween. “The students truly receive a diverse exposure to the Hispanic culture and have a deeper appreciation for their
contributions to our nation,” said Sherry Bees, principal/director of A.D. Henderson University School and FAU High School. “As a Hispanic American, Mrs. Rosado understands the barriers that native Spanish-speaking students must face as they immigrate to a new country.” ChaconRosado also is active in organizing Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations for A.D. Henderson students. She recently designed a Hispanic Wax Museum that is an interactive display of famous Hispanic and Latino figures, along with student-created arts and crafts. The students research famous Hispanic and Latino figures, memorize their biographies in Spanish, dress up like them and then impersonate them during a “gallery walk.” The Museum is open to all students, faculty and staff to learn about the contributions of famous people with Hispanic and Latino heritage. “As a Latina woman, teaching about Hispanic culture is very personal to me,” said Chacon-Rosado. “It is not just what I do, but who I am.”
Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council, Funding Arts Broward (FAB!), and with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.

How One Boca Charity Helped the Lives of Hurricane-Affected School Children
By: Bryanna Basillio
“It what was truly a magical day we spent in the Florida Keys,” said HOT CEO Ron Gallatin. Hands of Tzedakah (HOT) is a public charity which primarily supports “safety-net” or essential, lifesustaining programs. The Boca Raton Tribune was able to speak with the charity’s CEO about delivering $180,000 worth of supplies to Florida Keys students following the destructive path of hurricane Irma. The Boca Raton charity bought $180,000 worth of new replacement wardrobes for 97 schoolchildren. The 97 schoolchildren are part of 200 Marathon Middle High School (combined middle school and high school) students who returned back to school homeless following Hurricane Irma’s havoc. After a three week vacation caused by Hurricane Irma, 200 Marathon Middle High Schoolers of what were 640 students in the combined school before the storm, found themselves homeless following the hurricane. Almost 1/3 of the school homeless. Some students remain unaccounted for, as speculation suggests they have fled and not returned. HOT is among 50 organizations in Boca Raton who coordinated the efforts to distribute almost $1,650,000 in supplies to the victims of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. Work was done
by more than a thousand volunteers and thousands of donors, according to HOT. “We watched the faces of children who filled a form accounting for what they had left and lost,” said Gallatin. “We needed a better understanding of what the kids were dealing with.” Items included clothes, laptops, keepsakes, and anything else was important to them. From a prized pair of Nike’s to clothes for church, the students didn’t shy away from what they lost. Once all the students filled out the forms, HOT went to work to make sure that every need and every request would be satisfied. Five laptops were lost, HOT replaced them. Everyone got at least two pairs of sneakers and/or shoes with some getting as much as four. Half dozens or more of underwear to size, hoodies, socks. At least 3 pairs of shorts and pants. “There was a girl from Alabama
whose prize possession was a volleyball from a college in her home state. She definitely did not expect to get it replaced, much less when she opened the box to see her new one was autographed by the whole team! Footballs, basketballs — things that every teenager has but when your parents have lost their home kids cannot expect to have replaced.” While in the Keys, HOT heard unforgettable stories. “I remember hearing about 18 people living in a home that housed four before the storm,” said the Gallatin “They are now living with aunt, uncles, cousins, friends, in aid tents, and FEMA housing, but some are now being told to vacate.” The Boca Raton charity says the emergency in the Keys is far from over. Before leaving the Keys, they made another stop to meet a couple who are trying to feed as many as they can in Big Pines. Big Pines is a section of the

Keys that looks as if ravaged by war, said the crew, a war they were clearly losing. Among the damage, were houses without roofs, roofs without homes, and tiled flooring scattering all over, which once sat in families’ homes. “The sky was blue but not as blue as the roofs of the surviving houses, that vibrant blue roof tarp. We all saw each home on every block, looking like this. The decision to help these families was not a hard one.” The hurricane relief project would not have been possible without the generosity of HOT’s regular donors, the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, B’nai Torah Congregation, Temple Beth El, the Boca Raton Synagogue and 45 other organizations, most notably the members of St. Andrews Country Club who all contributed with their incredible cooperation and financial support. “I can not put into words how all of these organizations and others helped in fundraising, but equally importantly encouraged their constituencies to volunteer,” shared Gallatin. “They are incredible kids — polite— appreciative— and my only regret is that the thousands of people in Boca Raton who have been part of out work on the three hurricanes could not see these kids, see their looks and feel like we did.”

COLUMNISTS ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT
FAITH By Robert J. Tamasy
By Robert Weinroth • The FAU Tech Runway held its annual Maverick Reception. As Rhys Williams, FAU Tech Runway Managing Director, explained, Mavericks see unconventional opportunities. The evening was designed to highlight the success of FAU Tech Runway’s amazing entrepreneurs. Williams went on to acknowledge those individuals who have played a crucial role in assisting the entrepreneurs.— the FAU Tech Runway mentors, advisory board members, our corporate partners, and the generous donors who enable their companies’ successes. Ryan Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Chewy.com, was the keynote speaker. At just 32, he has already made history. Since founding Chewy.com in 2011, Ryan with his management team, grew the company to be one of the largest and fastest growing retailers in America. With more than 6,000 employees, 3 million-square-feet of warehouse space in six states and 3.8 million customers, Ryan created a highly scalable, vertically integrated e-commerce retailer with world-class customer service and fulfillment operations which, in 2017 was acquired by PetSmart for over $3 billion! One can only wonder what he’ll accomplish before he’s 40!
descend on local beaches, rivers, lakes and canals to show their commitment to cleaner waterways. The Ocean Conservancy has sponsored this annual event for the past 31 years.
• A pre-Halloween Party was the order of the day at the Boca Raton Children’s Museum on Friday night. Lottsa goodie and family friendly games and activities were the order of the evening. The Museum continues to attract new visitors every week with its innovative programming. A big thank you to Ellyn Okrent and the Board of Florence Fuller Child Development for being such great partners with the City of Boca Raton as the exhibits continue to be updated and new opportunities to engage our children’s imaginations are unveiled.
• The Owls control their own fate. They entered Saturday tied with Marshall for the division lead. The Thundering Herd, travel to FAU on Friday, fresh off their loss to FIU. According to Coach Lane Kiffin, the Marshall upset at the hands of FIU shocked him as the Herd had been playing as well as anyone in the country lately. It is clear the Owls will have their hands full and could use the energy of a large crowd in the stands to cheer them on!
• On Saturday night, the Boca Chamber held its 65th Annual Gala at the Boca resort, recognizing business excellence. Ethel Isaacs Williams will be serving her second term as Board Chair. The MJ “Mike” Arts Award of Excellence was presented to Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Executive Leadership Team. It was a great opportunity to celebrate how Boca Means Business, which translates, to opportunities for our residents. • The FAU Owls, playing at Western Kentucky, brought home another impressive win. In a topsy-turvy football game, it was Florida Atlantic that found its way at the end. Devin Singletary ran for 244 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Owls to a 42-. The win was the Owls fourth in a row and puts them one victory away from securing their first .500 or better finish since 2013 and a probably bowl appearance. The Owls are now 5 and 3 (4 and 0 in the Conference USA East).
• That same evening, it was a Nautical Art & Wine Extravaganza, “Hook, Wine & Sinker” benefiting the Twin Palms Center for the Disabled at the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center. The Center was turned into a “Cork Popping, Paint Dropping Extravaganza,” (rescheduled, due to Hurricane Irma). Guests had an opportunity to mingle and socialize while enjoying delicious hors d’oeuvers paired with exceptional wines alongside community members and local renowned artists. The event offered an opportunity for some of our local artists to display and sell their artwork with a portion of each sale going to Twin Palms. It was also an opportunity to meet the program’s new executive director, Chris Berens.
• On Sunday it was the 26th Annual “A Princely Affair” held at the Boca Raton Resort & Club for the benefit of the Boca Ballet Theatre. The Boca Ballet Theatre, established in December of 1990, is the 5th largest dance company in Florida and one of the top civic companies in the United States. Over the last 25 years, the School of Boca Ballet Theatre has educated more than 9,000 young people and has performed for over 200,000 audience members from the Tri-County area and beyond. Under the loving attention of its co-artistic directors, Jane Tyree and Dan Guin, the audience was treated to a sampling of ballet productions, performed by BBT students with a special performance from Act III of Black Sean with American Ballet Theatre dancers, Sarah Lane and Aran Bell.
• On Saturday morning it was time for the hurricane-delayed” Coastal Cleanup. Irma really caused a great deal of beach erosion, which the city will be addressing in the coming months. The task for hundreds of volunteers was to remove the trash along the beach (much of which was deposited on our beach by the waves rather than “trashy” residents). The International Coastal Cleanup is the world’s largest, one-day volunteer effort to clean up the marine environment. Every year volunteers from over 100 countries
• There’s a full season of ballet awaiting residents beginning, of course, with the annual production of The Nutcracker (Nov 24th - Nov 26th) at Olympic Heights Performing Arts Theatre. In March there will be a one night only, special performance with the stars of American Ballet Theatre and the Boca Ballet Theatre. The event will be staged at the Countess de Hoernle Theatre at Spanish River HS on March 18th. For a full schedule of next season’s performances and to secure your seats.

Building A Values-Based Business One of the most underestimated tools for any successful business enterprise is the foundation of values upon which it has been built. If a company’s goal is simply to make high profits, to close a lot of sales, or even to deliver huge quantities of products or services, it can lead to problems with the end serving to justify the means. For instance, if the objective is to finalize sales, one might be tempted to make whatever promises are needed to accomplish that – even if the promises cannot be met. Or if maximizing profits is the ultimate goal, it could become easy to justify cutting costs, even if that means compromising the quality of the product or services provided. However, when a company starts with a clear, well-considered framework of values to guide and govern its operations, chances of both survival and success are increased dramatically. These values essentially define “what we do,” “why we do it,” and “how we do it.” Many CEOs that are followers of Jesus Christ share a desire to influence their organization with principles from the Bible – which they understand to be the Word of God – while also being sensitive to those team members who may not embrace the same faith. One of the best ways to shape a company culture in an effective, non-offensive manner is to focus on values, principles of conduct and practice that everyone in the organization can be asked to embrace. For instance, a value of placing high priority on customer service is one
that few can argue with; we don’t even have to explain this value is based on “doing to others as you would have them do to you” (Luke 6:31). We might embrace the value of doing the best we can at all times, without having to insist that our staff “work at it with al your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” (Colossians 3:23). Since many of the values we commonly endorse come right out of the Bible, formulating our core beliefs can serve as a non-threatening way for communicating God’s standards and values. Developing these foundational values and holding your team accountable to them can give you the opportunity to lead the way to doing business God’s way. As the psalmist expressed in Psalms 119:130, “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” To achieve success – and then to sustain it – it is important for every key member of the team to be able to understand and explain what the organization stands for. What are the basic values and principles that serve as guideposts for how it conducts business on a day to day basis? If you desire to shape the culture of your organization in God’s way, try determining and articulating your core values. Next, model them, and then communicate them consistently to your team. As the apostle Paul wrote, “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice” (Philippians 4:9).

SPORTS Lynn Men’s Soccer Sees Three Selected All-SSC
Alexander Roth, Niklas Tasky and Alun Webb from Lynn University's men's soccer team have been selected to the All-Sunshine State Conference First Team, as announced by the league office on Thursday. All three were first team honorees a year ago and this marks the first time since 200708 the Fighting Knights have had three repeat first team selections. Roth currently leads the SSC in total shutouts with 10 and is second in goals-against average (0.52) and save percentage (.814). The senior out of Graz, Austria moved into the top-10 in program history with 18 career shutouts while his .803 save percentage is third and 0.67 GAA is sixth in program history. Tasky is a brooding presence who anchors the Fighting Knights defense. Lynn has surrendered only 44 shots on goal in 15 games, an average of just 2.9 per match. The 6-foot-4 Hannover, Germany, product typically marks opposing team's top players and held all six All-SSC forward selections to a combined one goal and no assists. Webb continues to be an offensive force in his second year with the Blue
and White. He is second in the league in total points (20), tied for second in goals with eight and tied for 11th with four assists. Webb's eight goals surpassed his total from last season while his 20 points is three shy of his previous years mark. Palm Beach Atlantic secured 11 award winners, with five first team honorees, three second team selections, SSC Player of the Year Charlie Dennis, Defensive Player of the Year Juan Sanchez and Coach of the Year Brian McMahon. Tampa's Felipe DeSousa garnered Offensive Player of the Year accolades while Florida Tech's Stian Hagboe Olsen was recognized as the Freshman of the Year. This is the sixth consecutive year with at least three All-SSC selections and second straight with three first team honorees. Lynn has 15 years total of at least three first team picks. Lynn defeated Florida Southern 1-0 in overtime in the SSC Championship Quarterfinals and travels to West Palm Beach, Fla., to battle Tampa in the semifinals on Friday, Nov. 3, at 4:30 pm. Fans can watch the action live on the Lynn Sports Network.

Greg Joseph Named Semifinalist For The 2017 Lou Groza Award
Greg Joseph, a Florida Atlantic University graduate student and member of the Owls’ football team, has been named as a semifinalist for the 2017 Lou Groza Collegiate Place Kicker Award, as announced by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission on Thursday. Joseph is one of nine that comprise the 20-man list who has made at least one 50-yard field goal and one of three who converting overall at better than 90 percent accuracy. On the season, the Boca Raton resident and American Heritage-Delray product, is 10-of-11 on field goals. His lone miss was a 56-yard attempt that was blocked, and he set the all-time school record for the longest make, a 54-yarder versus Navy. That marks one of four he has connected on from better than 40 yards. Joseph also serves as the team’s kickoff specialist, where he has booted 55 kicks of which 39 have been touchbacks (71 percent), and opponents have returned just 16. His streak of 115 consecutive PAT’s was broken earlier this season, but it has been started anew. He also holds nearly every FAU career kicking record including: PATs (139), PATs attempted (141), field goals (52), field goals attempted (72), and total points (295). Joseph, who graduated in the spring of 2017 with a degree in exercise science and health promotion and is seeking a MBA, serves as the FAU President of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. He has been recognized by Conference USA twice for his Spirit of Service. He has led the “Let’s SAC Hunger” initiative, organized a team volunteer troupe for the Jason Taylor Foundation’s annual “Cool Gear for the School Year” program, coached youth soccer and has worked with the Giving Tree to provide gifts for children during
www.bocaratontribune.com
the holidays. Most recently, he gathered his teammates for the second consecutive year to help paint a house for the less fortunate. He credits his mother with getting him involved with “Paint Your Heart Out” as a young boy. In July he gathered his special teams unit along with the offensive linemen to fully paint the outside of a house in less than two hours. Groza Award semifinalists will be voted on by a panel of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers to select the three finalists. These finalists will be announced on Tuesday, Nov. 21 and honored at the 26th annual Lou Groza Collegiate Placekicker Awards Banquet on Monday, Dec. 4 in Palm Beach County. The same panel then selects the winner, who will be announced live on ESPN at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Thursday, Dec. 7. The Groza Award is named for NFL Hall of Fame kicker Lou “The Toe” Groza, who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Groza won four NFL championships with Cleveland and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1954. Although an All-Pro offensive lineman as well, Groza ushered in the notion that there should be a place on an NFL roster for a kicker. Since the first Lou Groza Award was handed out in 1992, 25 finalists, including 14 winners, have gone on to appear in the NFL, earning nine trips to the Pro Bowl and taking home five Super Bowls. That list includes 2017 NFL kickers Dan Bailey, Randy Bullock, Mason Crosby, Jake Elliott, Ka’imi Fairbairn, Kai Forbath, Graham Gano, Zane Gonzalez, Dustin Hopkins, Younghoe Koo, Mike Nugent, Cairo Santos, Caleb Sturgis, and Blair Walsh.
