Residents Speak on Wildflower Property via Survey

By Veronica Haggar

Hillstone’s proposal to lease the Wildflower property has been recently debated during a council meeting, in which the public’s opinions favors the construction of a park in the property instead of a restaurant. While most of the opponents of the restaurant proposal are citizens residing in the surrounding properties of the Wildflower, most agree that a park would be very convenient and would actually give the property a better use for the community.

The Boca Raton Tribune

Community Should the Wildflower Property Become a Park or a Restaurant

Continue From page3 Traffic and parking is the main concern of the residents in the area and why most believe a restaurant shouldn’t be built in the property. A survey conducted this past weekend in which locals were asked their opinion on what the city should do with the Wildflower property shows that 21.96% of the participants agree it should be leased to an outside company to build a restaurant, 60.28% voted for a park to be built, and 17.76% voted “other” specifying their proposals and ideas in the comments. The comments left by the participants who

voted for the option of “other” suggests that some would be willing to accept the restaurant proposal if the restaurant and the concept were different. “A restaurant is a good idea as long as you find the right restaurant. As a person that was born and raised in Boca I can tell you nobody wants another Houston’s,” stated David, one of the participants of the survey. “Boca needs something unique and family/boater friendly. We want a place you can dock you boat and have a casual lunch, not a place that serves a $16 hamburger. I can’t imagine docking with kids in bathing suits eating at Houston’s,” continued

to explain the participant. “Besides we already have one in Boca and there’s one on the water in Lauderdale. I suggest a more thorough search for a restaurant, but if you can’t find the correct option then you’re better off with a park. They city did a great job with its parks like Sugar Sand. Lastly, don’t rule out another boat ramp.” Many participants like both ideas mixed up in a more casual concept, like a park with food trucks. “Incorporate a park that can be altered to fit restaurants, food trucks and public activities,” said Isabel, another participant of the survey. “Prime locations don’t just benefit

the city, developers, architects, but presents an opportunity to activate the urban fabric of Boca Raton to manifest a true identity of culture for optimal quality of pedestrian interaction.” Building up the Houston’s restaurant in the property, however, means the city would earn back the $7.5 million that has been spent on the development of the property. Changing the deal, making a park instead of a restaurant, would not help the city to produce enough money to cover the investments.

Delivery Dudes: Bringing Your Favorite Food to Your Doorstep

By Veronica Haggar

Delivery Dudes is a well known delivery business in South Florida now a day. It all started back in late 2009 when founder and owner Jayson Koss was hungry at home, craving some good restaurant food but didn’t want to leave the comfort of his home. “I was hungry and I did not want to get off my couch, basically that’s how I came up with the concept,” said Jayson Koss, founder of Delivery Dudes. “I had spent some time in New York, and this isn’t like a new concept, I by no means thought of the idea of delivering food to people,” explained Koss. “It’s really easy to get a lot of different restaurants to deliver in New York City, and what I noticed down here in Florida is that you could only get certain things, the basic pizza and the Chinese restaurants are the only places that offer delivery. Being in a city like Delray Beach that offers such great fine dining choices and good little lo-

cal spots and none of them offer delivery, it was kind of like ‘I wish I could get some of these restaurants to deliver to me’ and that’s how I came up with it.” Koss spent some time figuring out how to turn his idea into a reality and how to make it work. It wasn’t overnight, slowly but surely he succeeded, making Delivery Dudes the most trusted and the best food delivery service in Florida. “I was really young when I created Delivery Dudes, and it was one of those things where I just learned as I ducked and learned as I’ve grown,” expressed Koss. “It was something that just sort of grew and happen but it was by no means like a well thought out plan like ‘okay, now we are delivering food and I’m not really sure how to do this and we need thermal bags and I need to keep the food hot’,” confessed Koss. “It was really not well thought out but with trial and error and not accepting no for an answer and always driving to do the best and provide an amazing service and do good for the people that work here and for our customers that are ordering food is a number one priority.” Today Delivery Dudes has partnered with exquisite restaurants, huge food chains, and local businesses, like Duffy’s, Maggiano’s Little Italy, Max’s Grille, Rocco’s Tacos, Tap 42, Firehouse Subs, Biergarten, Yard House, Whole Foods Market, Dubliner, Cut 432, and many more.

“We (Delivery Dudes) have separated ourselves from our competitors by focusing on attention on high end restaurant delivery,” said Koss. “It doesn’t mean that we don’t work with the local family shop, but what it means is that over time we’ve earn these people’s trust and respect and these are the people that care most about their food, and we have earned their trust in us to allow us to deliver their food and care for their food,” added Koss. The whole process of earning the trust of upscale restaurants wasn’t easy but Koss never surrendered. “I used to go in the restaurants and begged them for a chance to prove myself and say ‘please just give me an opportunity to prove myself, I don’t need money, I don’t need anything, all I want is an opportunity to earn your trust’,” said Koss. Delivery Dudes started as a small local business back in the day, but it has been growing real fast ever since. Now taking orders from both small and big cities in different locations here in Florida, and has been expanding all the way to Tennessee, Colorado, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. For Koss, the quality of the service is more important than the rapid growth of the business. He wants to make sure that wherever a Delivery Dude opens, they will commit to the business and give their best. “The future for Delivery Dudes is to grow as efficiently as we possibly can,” said Koss.

www.bocaratontribune.com

“What I mean when I say that is I want to grow, I want to continue to grow but I never want to sacrifice what Delivery Dudes is and the level of service that we provide to our customers,” declared Koss. “To be the best delivery service wherever we decide to go I guess would be our goal.” Delivery Dudes also picks up from other restaurants they are not partnered with as long as they are within their delivery range. In this case, a 20% surcharge will be added on the total. The order can be placed online or over the phone. The process is simple, once in the website, customers can chose their location and from there a list of restaurants and grocery stores that the Dudes are partnered with will show up. By clicking on the restaurant, the menu will appear and customers can also add comments and specifications as they place their order. The standard cash delivery fee is $5 and if the payment is by credit card it’s $7. If the customer decides to order from multiple restaurants, each stop would be an additional $5. Delivery Dudes encourages you to get creative and uses their services for whatever you need, whenever you need it. From groceries and snacks for a party, to ordering dinner after a movie with your special someone, the Dudes will be there for you.

Celebrate the Joy of Reading on Nov. 12 If you enjoy reading, especially to kids, you are needed to help build a lifelong love for reading with some children in the City. For the fourth consecutive year, the Delray Beach Campaign for Grade Level Reading team has declared Thursday, Nov. 12, “Delray Reads Day.” I will be among more than 250 community members who will go into the seven elementary schools and read Clifford the Big Red Dog. The day will begin at 7:30 a.m. with breakfast in the Gymnasium at the Center For the Arts at Old School Square. Kevin Ross, president of Lynn University, will address the group. The readers will leave at 9 a.m. for their respective schools and will spend about 30 minutes to one hour reading to the students. The program should culminate by 10 a.m. The intent is to help boost third grade reading score. Reading proficiency is a strong predictor of academic success as early as third grade. Three-quarters of children who read poorly in third grade continue to read poorly in high school. Additionally, these children are four times more likely to drop out or fail to graduate from high school on time.

Many are not aware that reading is the foundation for learning and is a critical predictor for high school success. Children spend their K-3 years learning how to read. After that, they’re reading to learn. As someone who works with children, I know firsthand that students who don’t read on grade level by then typically don’t catch up. In later grades, coursework gets increasingly difficult. Reading becomes more challenging, and those with reading troubles struggle to cope. This can lead to bad grades, bad behavior, “checking out” from school and eventually dropping out. The scope of the dropout problem is staggering. Here in Palm Beach County we know that when students drop out of school, communities suffer. We also know children who aren’t reading well by the end of third grade can’t do the classwork and are four times more likely to drop out of high school, according to a major study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. And once they drop out, the statistics get very bleak. Almost 90 percent of teenagers in the juvenile justice system are functionally illiterate.

Seven out of 10 adult prisoners can’t read above a fourth grade level, according to the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a nonprofit group focused on education reform. Dropouts make up 90 percent of Americans on welfare and 75 percent of food stamp recipients. The evidence is overwhelming. Illiteracy damages lives. And the window of opportunity to do something about it closes quickly. On the other hand, children who read well report that they enjoy reading and read for fun almost every day. This starts with a caring adult taking time to read with a child such as what Janet Meeks and her team are doing with “Delray Reads Day.” Even babies benefit from being read to — it’s never too early to start. That’s why readers will be in Head Start classes at Village Academy that morning. We know from experience that children who have books at home and who read during the summer do better in school. It’s as simple as that. That’s why the organization wants to raise $20,000 to provide summer reading

materials for every kindergarten through second grade student at the city’s Title I schools. For many of the children attending these high-poverty schools, the books they receive from the city’s Campaign for GradeLevel Reading are the first books they can call their own. The ability to read is a gift that no one should go without. Let’s come together to make sure every student in Palm Beach County public schools know how to read. I am sure you have heard the saying, “it takes a village to raise a child.” It is true — now more than ever, children need the support of the community! Our teachers and schools are working hard to ensure that kids have what they need and they are succeeding. I am very excited to be involved in this program that is sending positive messages about the importance of reading and improving literacy. I urge you to get involved in your community to help share your love of reading and empower the children with the gift of literacy.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Go Beyond What’s Expected of You! It’s always good and praise-worthy when a person is ready and willing to fulfill the expected. Not to be forgotten is that quite often, within the expected, one also finds additional possibilities whereby an extra task may be necessary to help others in achieving what’s being sought! In everything we do, there should be an outlook beyond the immediate, above what is primarily expected, far more than what can easily be achieved. A request is not fulfilled merely in the specific manner in which it is made, because quite frequently one fails to reach the desired results when only one pattern is observed! A task is successful only when it overcomes obstacles along the way, when the helper

considers alternatives to fulfill it in the most efficient manner, even when its doer may need to go out of the way to bring a more than satisfactory result. That may be one reason that led the late Maya Angelou, in one of her writings, to conclude that “Anybody that is not of use is useless.” Indeed, a sad characteristic of so many persons in our day is a complete lack of interest in helping others when they can; by having their eyes blind to potential consequences for good, or for evil, resulting from the type of response they give to a simple request. There is an increasing tendency towards non-involvement, a preference for lack of cooperation even in the most minimal

efforts required for the benefit of others. Too many persons these days may consent to do only the very least, rather than the maximum which they are capable of trying to provide, and which often may be the sole way of securing what is desired! Not too long ago a friend wrote me requesting a phone number of another common acquaintance which, unfortunately, I did not have. Yet, instead of limiting myself to that response, I tried other ways of contacting the individual sought, giving him the phone number of the one in need of urgent contact with him. That quickly solved the problem, and all involved were glad that the need of one had been satisfied for the benefit of many.

It doesn’t take too much to walk a second mile, to be alert to additional possibilities which can aid a friend or acquaintance in a variety of situations. Someday, we may also be in a similar plight, eager to experience good-will on the part of those we consider friends or acquaintances. Helping others frequently won’t be costly to us, but even if it is, the satisfaction of doing good for someone we esteem, is far greater than any extra effort made, even a small sacrifice demanded of us. Learn to go beyond what is expected, and enjoy the inevitable thrills of your decision! No good done unto others ever leaves us unaffected!

Nick Vujicic Brings a Message of Hope to a Packed FAU Stadium

Bus Drivers Recognized During Appreciation Week By CRA News Service

Nearly 20,000 people filled up FAU Football Stadium on Saturday, November 7 as they came to listen to motivational speaker Nick Vujicic. Hosted by Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, and other local churches, the event began with a modern-rock worship band from Pacific N orthwest who travels around the world with Nick, The Josh Elliot Band, which began the night with covers of popular songs like Walk the Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance”, before getting into more worship music. Vujicic’s message of hope and faith was heard by all whom were in attendance, and by the end of the night over 700 people came forward to accept a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Many times throughout the presentation Vujicic made it a point to say that his personal relationship with Jesus is what has made him a stronger person, and since his decision when he was 15 years old to give his life to Jesus, he has learned more about his life’s purpose.

The Australian native was born with Tetraamelia syndrome — a congenital disorder that causes the absence of limbs. As a child, he faced bullying for years, and the continuous harassment and feeling of being a burden led him to attempt suicide by drowning at 10 years old. However, Vujicic got out of the bathtub and began focusing more on what he had than what he didn’t have. At 19, Vujicic began speaking in public about the trials of his life, he eventually continued his work and became an author, musician, actor and YouTube sensation with nearly 70,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. “I’m not a speaker that says everything’s perfect, there are ups and downs,” said Vujicic to the crowd on Saturday. “But no matter who you are, God has a plan.” As the evening came to a close Nick announced that he believed “something new is happening in South Florida,” and suggested that he would be returning to Florida for more of what took place on this night.

Every day 60,000 children in Palm Beach County ride the Big Yellow bus to and from school. And the 670 or so bus drivers are responsible for making sure they make it safely in all kinds of weather. That’s why school officials recognized and honored the drivers for their work during National School Bus Driver Appreciation Week recently. The observance is held the third week in October around the country. “We have had challenges this year with our transportation services, and I want to thank each of you for stepping up and helping find solutions,” Superintendent Robert Avossa said in a letter to drivers. “Thanks to you we are making progress and moving in the direction of providing the level of service that our students deserve.” The drivers received a lunch event at each of the district’s transportation compound last week. In addition to the event, Avossa encouraged principals to work with their teachers and students to find creative ways to show their appreciation and gratitude to their drivers. This year’s theme for National Safety Week, “Be Smart — Be Seen. I wait in a safe place!,” reminds people that children aren’t just at risk when boarding or exiting a bus; they must also stand in a safe, visible space when waiting for the bus to arrive, safety advocates say. With the many buses doing 645 routes each day, there are lots of opportunities for trouble. That’s why bus drivers always have to be prepared. “We provide extensive training for new

employees and eight hours of yearly training updates,” said David Davis, the director of the district’s Transportation Services department. “We also provide monthly meeting updates at each of our six transportation facilities.” To be a school bus driver, it takes patience and being familiar with your equipment. Davis said they also look for someone with a helping and caring attitude to work with children. Along with recognizing and thanking bus drivers, district officials also intended the week would encourage motorists to be safe around stopped school buses. When a bus is approaching a loading or unloading zone, the flashing yellow lights mean caution because the bus will be stopping. Once a bus is stopped, the flashing red lights and stop arm mean drivers in Florida must “STOP — no exceptions,” according to state law. Motorists travelling in both directions on a two-lane road are required to stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of a stopped school bus that is displaying flashing red lights. They can resume once the lights are off and the school bus resumes motion. Motorists in the opposite direction are only allowed to proceed if the roadway is divided by a barrier or at least five feet of unpaved space. A recent study showed drivers illegally pass stopped school buses nearly 2 million times in Florida every year. Nationwide, nearly 80,000 vehicles pass school buses illegally each day, according to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services.

Halloween Party At Sakred Nightclub On Halloween nite I attended a fabulous party at the Sakred Nightclub on Powerline Rd. given by Steve Fox Socials as the guest of Steve Fox. About 200 people in attendance enjoyed a great d.j., great Chinese Buffet and dessert and were treated to a costume contest where a couple dressed in roaring 20’s outfits won a trip to Panama. All in all a great fun evening. Thank you Steve Fox.

Claustrophobic? Be wary of “Room,” for much of it is set in a windowless 10-by10-foot shed. The only portal to the world outside is an overhead skylight. This room constitutes the entire world for 5-year-old Jack (Jason Tremblay) whose mother (Brie Larson), known as Ma, has been locked in the shed for seven years by a character known only as Old Nick (Sean Bridgers). The creepy story has been adopted for the screen by Emma Donoghue, who wrote the acclaimed novel on which it

is based. Old Nick visits sporadically with food and presumably sleeps with Ma while Jack is locked away in a wardrobe. Despite their confined existence, Ma does her best to entertain, educate, feed and clean Jack. Jack on the other hand has no clue there is more to life than the room. Irish director Lenny Abrahamson maintains a delicate balance between horror and hope when the story switches gears with a daring escape engineered by Ma. You might think happy ending, but Ma is clearly affected by post-traumatic stress syndrome, and her parents (Joan Allen and William Macy) don’t quite understand. As amazing as Brie Larson is in her role of a wounded lioness, Jason Tremblay is a wonder as Jack, who is pretty as a girl with his shoulder-length hair that he does not want cut, and has an amazing depth of emotion. I suspect both Ma and Jack will be remembered at Oscar nomination time. “Room” is that extraordinary. Rating: 

Design Matters

By Robert J. Tamasy

By Douglas A. Mummaw

No Gold to Be Gleaned from Gossip

Does Design Matter in Our Downtown?

When managers and supervisors are surveyed about the most pervasive problems they must deal with in the workplace, one that typically ranks near the top is gossip. One definition for gossip is “idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others.” So the focus of gossip in the workplace is not team-building. The content of such gossip can range from job performance to workplace attire to “office politics” to speculating on behindthe-scenes relationships between colleagues. In many cases, none of these discussions contribute to higher levels of productivity or camaraderie. But that does not diminish the temptation to share juicy secrets about other staff not present to hear what is being said about them. “You will never guess what I just heard about…!” “Did you know that … and her husband are having problems?” “I was talking to Jim yesterday, and he told me that … is on the verge of being terminated.” “Have you noticed Marvin has been acting strangely lately? Do you think he might be drinking again?” Have you heard examples of “information sharing” like these? How do you feel when you hear them? People often talk about being overloaded with work, but some still find time to talk behind their coworkers’ backs. Perhaps speaking disparagingly about others helps to enhance their self-esteem. Or it might be the appeal of possessing “inside information” others do not have; if you fail to share it, how will they know you have it, right? Rarely, if ever, does gossip have positive value. It diminishes the object of the conversation, and the end result may also diminish the reputation of the one offering negative comments. Here are some insights about gossip and the wayward tongue, along with warnings presented in the Bible: Gossip reflects a lack of good judgment. Just because we know – or suspect – some-

thing about another person, that does not mean we have an obligation to express our suspicions to others. “The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value. The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment” (Proverbs 10:20-21). Gossip destroys trust. Sometimes a colleague will share information in private, trusting that information will be kept in secret. A decision to be indiscreet and pass that information to others can forever destroy a professional or personal relationship. “A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue. A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret”(Proverbs 11:12-13). “A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends” (Proverbs16:28). Gossip can sometimes wound more deeply than a physical weapon. The old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” is untrue. Often the damage resulting from harsh, uncaring, or even thoughtless comments can result is significant emotional, relational and even spiritual injury. “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Proverbs 12:18). Gossip, even if unintended, can bring consequences greater than ever imagined. Even if our motives are not to cause harm to someone, recklessly expressed words can prove to be surprisingly destructive. “Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on first, and is itself set on fire by hell”(James 3:5-6). “He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin” (Proverbs 13:3).

I recently discussed the impact of “The Mark” in our Downtown Master Plan. This building is cer-tainly the center of attention for all stakeholders, for and opposed, to the Interim Design Guide-lines which is a set of specific Urban and Architectural Planning criteria for designing new pro-jects in our Downtown. Do we need a Pattern Book? The truth and irrefutable fact about the Interim Design Guidelines “IDG” and Pattern Book is that they provide a new IMPROVED tool box for Architects, Developers and Property Owners to use. Urban Planning Strategies have evolved over the last 30 years. There are thousands of case studies (poor & excellent) that we have learned from. Mizner Park was a trend setter and garnered much public debate over what should be done in our downtown in the late 1980’s. There was significant resistance to change. With creative, thoughtful urban planning, civic leadership AND a lot of public resistance to change, Mizner Park was created. This sounds fa-miliar. Mizner Park is now one of THE MOST RESPECTED Urban Planning precedents in the world. Currently, It is the largest Commercial Attractor in East Boca Raton. Subsequently, Mizner Park established the future vision of our Downtown. Today, we are seeing positive de-velopment head winds to add complimentary projects. It only took 25 years:) The original 4035 Design and Zoning Ordinance is not better or worse, just simpler. We have seen the architecture and buildings built under this code. They are not all spectacular case stud-ies. In fact, we have a lot to critique about its shortcomings 25 years later. The new IDG/Pattern Book provides a specific planning strategy to create walkable, pedestrian friendly sidewalk and street networks. It specifically aligns building

scale to the street with an overall city plan to create variety and appropriate spatial realms. The architectural design criteria address HOW to break up massing both vertically and horizontally. Unlike 4035, which was only concerned with one street section profile, the IDG/PB mandates how an Architect/Developer must articulate its project to avoid unsuccessful massing and banal redundant architecture. Trust me, these new buildings cost more to build - A LOT more. Building design is not usually enforceable by municipalities. Therefore, a specific set of planning tools is good and necessary for the community. It provides consistency, but allows variety. This too is critical in developing good cities. We are not abandoning our architectural legacy by adopting the IDG/Pattern Book. The “spirit” of Addison Mizner’s original architectural vision can be maintained. There can be modern inter-pretations, but a loggia is still a loggia. Balconies, varied roof lines & “mizneresque” architecture is achievable in various design vernaculars. Variety creates interest. If you read the original lan-guage in the 4035 code, it specifically suggested interpretations of these planning forms. In fact, the word “Mizneresque” was created to describe such adaptations. Please don’t misinterpret my statement here. Concrete and steel, repetitively organized ,”pancake” styled building forms as depicted in the recent submittals of the New Mizner on the Green are not “Mizneresque”. The Interim Design Guidelines and Pattern Book will ensure our Urban Plan is strengthened and our Architectural context is successful. We need to rely on experts and irrefutable planning princi-ples regardless of personal opinions which can be emotional at times. In my next article I will advocate the reasons why the IDG/Pattern Book should be adopted. Until then, please remem-ber, Design Matters friends…….. Douglas A. Mummaw, AIA, NCARB

Avid Volunteer With Deep Sense of Joy Killed in Car Crash By CRA News Service

Several hundred mourners gathered at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church Saturday to pay their last respect to Wendy HarrisAceves, the 46-year-old woman who was killed Nov. 1 when an underage driver of a stolen Mustang plowed into her Honda Pilot. “Wendy’s life was too short but we remember the exuberance and vitality of life she showed us,” Monsignor Michael McGraw told the crowd. “She had that deep sense of joy that just spilled over.” A devout Catholic, Mrs. Harris-Aceves was an avid volunteer in her children’s schools. Her 15-year-old daughter, Sierra, attends Cardinal Gibbons Catholic High School in Fort Lauderdale, and Brady, 8, goes to school at St. Joan of Arc. She also was active with both the Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and other auxiliaries at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. Several Girl and Boy Scouts wore their uniforms to show their appreciation to Mrs. Harris-Aveces’ longtime dedication to scouting. Caroline Roberts, principal at St. Joan of Arc School, said Mrs. Harris-Aveces was a huge inspiration to many parents at the school and members of the church next door. She was a homeroom mother and a regular volunteer at the church, she added. “Wendy touched so many lives with her work at church and at school,” said Roberts, who knew Mrs. Harris-Aveces for two years. “She was always doing something for someone with a beautiful smile. You would find her at church or school every day. Her positivity and love was contagious.” Roberts said that the school has started a scholarship fund in Mrs. Harris-Aceves’ name. The events leading to Mrs. Harris-Aceves’ death began when officers responded to an armed robbery at The Addison event center at South Dixie Highway and East Camino

Real at about 6 p.m. Nov. 1. Two men went up to a valet, one pointed a gun at him, took his cellphone and the keys to a 2016 Ford Mustang and drove off, police said. Hours later, investigators tracked the phone to Deerfield Beach, where Broward County sheriff ’s deputies found it, but no suspects. At about 11 p.m., police spotted the Mustang in the 1400 block of Northwest Second Avenue, north of Glades Road and tried to stop the driver. The teen took off speeding south on Northwest Second Avenue and crashed into Mrs. Harris-Aceves’ car at the intersection with Palmetto Park Road near City Hall. She died at the scene, investigators said. It was not clear if there was a pursuit before the crash. Jacquan Strowbridge, 20, the passenger in the Mustang, ran from the scene. Police quickly caught him. Investigators have not charged Strowbridge. However, he remains a person of interest in the case, police said. Strowbridge, who has a checkered past dating back to 2011, is on probation after being released from prison in July for kidnapping and armed robbery, records show. The Deerfield Beach teen who was driving the mustang is being held in the Palm Beach County Juvenile Detention Center until the State Attorney’s Office decides whether to charge him as an adult. The Boca Raton Tribune is not naming the teen because he has not been charged as an adult. The teen’s has been arrested at least six times in 2015 for robbery, vehicle theft and carrying a concealed firearm. He was not convicted in any of those arrests. Along with her two children, Mrs. HarrisAceves, a graduate of St. Ambrose Catholic School and Cardinal Gibbons Catholic High School, leaves behind a husband, John Aceves.

The Lantern Festival Brought Thousands Together for A Beautiful Celebration

marketing and events coordinator. “it’s a beautiful experience to see the lanterns floating and really to have a moment to connect with people you’ve lost and pay respect to their memory.” The festival featured an Ennichi Street Fair, rousing taiko drum performances by Fushu Daiko, Japanese folk dancing, and of course, saving the best for last, the festival ended with the spectacular paper lanterns floating in the lake and a beautiful firework show lighting up the sky. Ennichi Street Fair consisted of fun games for the kids, delicious variety of Pan-Asian and all American food favorites, and a marketplace offering different crafts, from soaps to organic tea, bonsais, necklaces,

uchiwa fans and more. “This year in particular we decided to highlight more the japanese street fair,” said Amar. “This year in particular we offered dango, it’s a japanese street fair favorite, and moki which is a rice treat and it’s flavored with green tea and red beans.” The Kirin Beer Garden featured one of Japan’s most prominent breweries. The Sake Station offered premium Japanese sake as well as tasting notes. The floating lantern sleeves, also called toro nagashi, were sold at the festival. On the lanterns, guests would write messages dedicated to their beloved ancestors. The colorful tanzaku slips sold at the

festival, decorated the boat-shaped lantern called shoryobune. Shoryobune means “boat for the spirits of the deceased” and guests wrote messages on the tanzaku slips for their loved ones who have passed away recently, placing them on the shoryobune. Guests were laying on their blankets, sitting on their chairs, and preparing their cameras around the lake since early in the afternoon, saving their spots to watch the lanterns flow while relaxing with a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. Some even dressed up with traditional Japanese clothes. Morikami has been celebrating the Lantern Festival for 38 years now, and guests hope it will continue for many more.

Japanese culture was celebrated in the sold out event, The Lantern Festival, on Oct. 17 at Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. The Lantern Festival is celebrated in the spirit of Obon, one of the most important Japanese holidays, a time of the year in which the spirits of the ancestors visit their living descendants. During the last day of celebration, families and the entire Japanese community come together to light the way back to the other world with lanterns to guide the spirits back after their visit. “The lantern festival in particular, offers an opportunity to pay homage to one’s ancestors,” said Monika Amar, Morikami’s

sports FAU Football Falls 35-19 at WKU

For the second consecutive season, the Florida Atlantic University football team converted six fourth-down conversions against WKU, but this year belong to the Hilltoppers as WKU held on for a 35-19 Conference USA victory on Saturday. “They did some good things,” FAU Head Coach Charlie Partridge said. “We knew he [Doughty] would be tough to get to. All the credit in the world goes to Western Kentucky, they did a nice job today.” The Owls (2-7, 2-4 C-USA) tallied 348 yards of offense with no turnovers and just one punt on the day. Senior Jaquez Johnson threw 11-of-27 for 137 yards and two scores while rushing for 33 yards. Freshman Trey Rodriguez led the running back corps with 74 yards on 15 carries while Jenson Stoshak made four grabs for 101 yards and a touchdown. WKU (8-2, 6-0 C-USA) was held to just 280 yards passing, its second-lowest mark of the year, but earned 509 yards of of-

fense. Brandon Doughty threw for 273 yards with four touchdowns and an interception. “We were aggressive on fourth down,” Partridge said. “We went for it seven times and got six of them. With one of the most powerful offenses in the country, you have to try and restrict their opportunities and we did.” Florida Atlantic stopped the Hilltoppers first drive and responded with a 15-play, 85yard drive. The play of the drive was electing to go for it on fourth and three. Johnson found tight end Tyler Cameron on the far sideline with a six-yard connection that extended the drive for the Owls. Two plays later, Johnson connected with Stoshak, who went up for the 19-yard pass high and out of reach for the WKU defender and came down with the first score of the game with 6:41 remaining in the first quarter. The second quarter began with WKU equaling the score at seven with a four-yard

reception ending a 15-play, 75-yard drive with more than 14 minutes to play in the half. The Owls’ first drive of the second quarter saw FAU convert its second fourth down attempt. With the Owls in punt formation, freshman Trey Rodriguez ran the ball 22 yards to pick up the first down on the WKU 33. FAU would make good on the chain movement with two more first downs and a 20 yard field goal by Greg Joseph to go up once more at 10-7 with 8:22 remaining in the first half. The lead would be short lived. Three plays later, the Toppers were in the end zone and holding their first lead of the game 14-10 with 7:21 to play in the half. Jason Driskel stood under center for the Owls third drive of the game and he too moved the chains into WKU territory. The Owls would go for it on fourth and sixth. Driskel hit Stoshak over the middle, completing a 24 yard pass and taking the Owls to the Hilltopper four. Joseph would connect on a 21 yard field goal to pull the Owls within one at 14-13 with 2:05 remaining in the half. The final two minutes of the half included a would-be FAU fumble recovery, which was overturned on a review, and an undeniable interception by Cre’von LeBlanc, his C-USA leading fourth of the 2015 season. The Owls would take over and run the remaining minute off the clock to head into the locker room down 14-13. FAU opened the second half with a nineplay, 45-yard drive that ended with a missed 47 yard field goal attempt. WKU took over with its first drive of the second half at the Hilltopper 30. Two plays later, FAU defense was faced with defending the WKU offense at the FAU 24. Five plays later, WKU was in the end zone and the score was 21-13 Hilltoppers. The Owls’ sixth attempt on fourth down was at the Hilltopper two. They remained perfect, this time with Johnson finding tight end Nate Terry in the left corner of the end

zone. FAU would attempt a two-point play to even the score but Johnson was flushed out of the pocket and couldn’t find his receiver. FAU’s nine play, 38-yard drive ended with the Owls trailing by two at 21-19 with 2:29 remaining in the game. In the closing minutes of the third quarter, WKU’s Doughty led the Hilltoppers 76 yards and found his receiver in the end zone as the clock signaling the end of the third quarter. WKU opened the fourth quarter with a 28-19 lead. FAU’s first drive of the fourth was its lone three-and-out of the game, but Dalton Schomp boomed a 64-yard punt to the WKU 13-yard line to pin the Hilltoppers deep. Doughty again marched WKU downfield for a 13-play, 80-yard drive to increase the lead to the eventual final of 35-19 with 5:36 to play. The Owls drove into the redzone, going 60 yards in just 1:33, but failed to convert their seventh fourth-down conversion of the day. The Hilltoppers drove to midfield and ran the clock out to remain undefeated in Conference USA play. The Owls will play host to Middle Tennessee at noon, on Saturday, Nov. 14. The game will air on the ASN network and can be heard on ESPN West Palm 106.3 or via www.fausports.com. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 1-866-FAUOwls.

Fort Lauderdale Strikers Forward FAU Women's Soccer Season Ends Stefano Pinho Claims Nasl Golden at C-USA Tournament Ball

Fort Lauderdale Strikers forward Stefano Pinho has been awarded the 2015 NASL Golden Ball, which goes to the league’s most valuable player, the league announced Friday. Pinho, 24, who received the most votes by media and fans, scored 16 goals and added seven assists.The Brazilian forward’s play helped the Strikers reach The Championship Semifinals, where they fell, 2-1, to the New York Cosmos on November 7. “I’m honored to receive this award,” Pinho said. “I would like to thank God. This has been the best season of my career, but it’s not all about me. The success that I’ve had in Fort Lauderdale is because of the hard work of my teammates, coaches, and every-

one at the Strikers.” The Minas Gerais, Brazil, native earned NASL Team of the Week honors seven times, NASL Player of the Week honors four times, and NASL Player of the Month honors twice. The only player to record a hat trick in 2015, the young forward completed the feat twice – in a 7-1 win over Indy Eleven on August 30 and a 4-2 victory over the San Antonio Scorpions on October 4 – in the Fall Season. “It’s been a great season, and I thank everyone who made it so fun and rewarding,” Pinho said. In his first season in the NASL, the Brazilian took the league by storm, showing strength, composure, and nose for the goal. Pinho featured in 28 of 30 matches in 2015, starting 26 and logging 2,335 minutes. Before heading to the U.S. with the Strikers, Pinho featured with MyPa of Finland on loan where he tallied 11 times. He joined Fort Lauderdale on a season-long loan ahead of the 2015 Spring Season from Fluminense.

An historic season for the Florida Atlantic University women's soccer team came to a close on Wednesday as the Owls came up just short in the Conference USA Tournament, falling to Old Dominion 2-1 in Miami. The Owls (12-8-1, 6-3-1 C=USA) posted their best record since 2005 and had their best CUSA season in their third year in the league. "I would first like to congratulate Coach Hind, her staff and players on advancing to the Conference USA semi-finals," FAU Head Coach Patrick Baker said. "We were wellprepared and thought we started the game very well." FAU came out aggressive and struck first just 40 seconds into the match as junior Sophie Sanchez found the back of the net, but the goal was called back on an offsides. In the 21st minute, FAU and goalkeeper Sydney Drinkwater saw an impressive streak of 603 consecutive shutout minutes come to an end as ODU's Grace Haverly scored off of a corner kick by C-USA Freshman of the Year Iris Achterhof to take an early lead. "The first goal of the game was going to be important and they found the back of the net off a glancing header," Baker said. "Disappointing goal, considering we hadn't given up a first goal since Rice on the second weekend of conference play. I thought we started the second half well and a number of corner kicks but couldn't get a clean look at the goal." ODU (8-11-1, 5-4-1 C-USA) doubled the lead

in the 70th minute as Achterhof fired a goal from 30 yards out that found the top right corner. "Their second goal was a tough one - long range and one we normally don't give up. Facing a 2-0 score line, we eventually changed our system and continued to show a commitment to find a way back in the game," Baker said. FAU senior Claire Emslie sparked a rally in the closing minutes and took sole possession of FAU's all-time goals scored mark as she scored in the 87th minute on an assist by Sammy Rowland to cut the lead to 2-1. Emslie's 29th career goal breaks a 21-year old record as the Scotland native also broke the single-season shots record with her 76th strike of the year. After making a save at the 89:19 mark, Drinkwater sent a ball into the box to Rowland, who took a shot that just missed outside the post as time expired. "We had to good looks late - one right at the death, but couldn't find the equalizer on the night," Baker said. "Disappointed not to still be playing, but proud of our spirit and fight tonight. The girls had a remarkable year and have lots to be proud of when they take the time to reflect on the 2015 fall. We got a glimpse of what finishing in the top four looks like and participating in the conference tournament. FAU Women's soccer has broken new ground and next year cannot come fast enough."
