Community Baker Sponder Gallery Robbed Twice In One Week

By Casey Westfall

The Baker Sponder Gallery enjoyed a theftfree history since it opened its doors in 1989, but this came to an end the week of Monday, April 11. That week, the gallery experienced not one, but two heists of high profile steel sculptures. Both of the stolen installations are by Peter Reginato, a SoHo-based sculptor renowned for his abstract steel work. The first stolen sculpture, “Ringleader,” was reported missing to police on Tuesday, April 12. The second one, “Untitled Color,”

was reported on Friday, April 15. Both of the sculptures were created by Reginato in 1975 and were made using CorTen steel. Combined, they are worth close to $65,000. They were on display in the outside area behind the gallery, which unlike the front outside area, is not guarded by surveillance cameras. In addition, neither of the sculptures were bolted down to the ground. Following the incidents, the team at Baker Sponder have moved all other sculptures that are not bolted down inside the gallery, and will no longer feature artwork behind the gallery. No information regarding the thieves is available at this time, although it is believed to have a multi-person job, given the heft of the sculptures. “Ringleader” was 500 pounds, while “Untitled Color” was 300 pounds. Boca Raton police are still conducting their investigation and advise anyone who has seen the missing sculptures since the heists, or has information about the thieves, to contact them at 561-338-1234.

Good Samaritans Rescue Dog After Woman Kicked it into Waterway, Police Say By CRA News Service A dog was fished from the Intracoastal Waterway this week after a woman allegedly tied it up in speaker wire, kicked it off a dock and walked away, police said. Witnesses saw Jellybean struggling to stay afloat and quickly rescued it then called police. “Klein’s method of tightly wrapping a wire around the dog’s neck, tying it to one back leg, and then pushing it into the [Intracoastal Waterway] is a premeditated action that will surely cause death of the animal if it had not been rescued,” according to the police report. Police on Monday charged Eva Lee Klein with animal cruelty, a felony, in the incident at Silver Palm Park. She was released from the Palm Beach County Jail Tuesday on $3,000 bond, according to jail records. Greg Bunch was fishing on the dock Sunday night when he heard a dog whimpering in the water at the north end of the dock near a drawbridge. He saw the dog, called a boater nearby and they pulled the Lhasa Apso and Shih Tzu

mix to safety, police said. Bunch used a pocket knife to cut the speaker wire from around Jellybean’s neck and one of its back legs, police said. He told police that Klein, 60, told him earlier that she lives on the other side of the Intracoastal and that Jellybean liked to swim from one side of the Waterway to the other. The dog was taken to a nearby animal hospital where it remained until police took it to the station on Monday. Jellybean then spent part of the day with police dispatchers until Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control officers picked it up. The dog will remain at the shelter until the criminal investigation is complete. Animal Care and Control officials will seek go to court to get ownership of Jellybean, who will be up for adoption after. Police found a microchip in the dog and tracked it to Richard Ostrovski, who told them the dog belonged to his mother, Klein. She told police and reporters the dog, she called Chappy, got tangled in wires and fell into the water.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Getting an AED Machine is Worth the Investment A friend of mine while attending the movies with his wife and son recently became ill. His son, who was sitting in the seat in front of him, looked back and noticed something unusual about his dad. He got his mom’s attention and when she saw her husband slumped back motionless, she knew then all was not well. They sounded the alarm and luckily, there was a nurse in the movies who jumped into action. She gave her keys to someone and told them to get an AED machine, or automatic external defibrillator, from her car in the parking lot. Thanks to that device, which cost between $1,500 and $2,000, Thomas is here with us today. Not to mention, my mother is still alive thanks largely to an AED machine. Over the last three weeks I have become an even stronger crusader of learning basic CPR and having a portable AED machine within easy access.

Each year, about 350,000 people have cardiac arrest outside of a medical facility such as a hospital, and less than 8 percent of people who go into cardiac arrest survive, according to the American Heart Association. Majority of the victims die because bystanders don’t know how to start CPR or are afraid they will do something wrong. So when I learned recently that the Palm Beach County School district is teaching students in CPR, my heart was joyed. About 1,200 physical education and health students at Boca Raton Community Middle School recently completed the 50-minute training taught over three days. Back in February, the American Heart Association taught teachers from around the county about hands-only CPR. Since then, 4,000 students in nine middle and high schools have learned how to administer the aid, school officials said. The American Heart Association is lobbying state legislature to pass a bill after three

failed attempts. Already 20 states — including Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee — have passed the “CPR in Schools” bill, which requires including “hands-only” CPR training in public schools. Hands-only CPR is a much simpler approach than the old-style CPR that many of us are used. A friend of mine gave me a demonstration earlier this week and it only uses chest compressions and does not require mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, making it an easier technique that more people are willing to perform. Local physicians tell me that the hands-only system is generally as effective as old-style CPR. Bystander CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiacarrest victim’s chance of survival. Unfortunately, less than a third of cardiac arrest victims currently receive CPR from a bystander. It is perfectly fine to have one of these

devices in your residential complex considering that approximately 70 percent of CPR happens in the home and is typically performed on a family member. However, before you implement a defibrillation program, make sure you speak to a lawyer. I have directed my staff that once the students and staff at one of our local high schools are trained we will donate a defibrillator to them. Teaching students CPR could save thousands of lives by filling our community with lifesavers trained to give cardiac-arrest victims the immediate help they need to survive until medical help arrives. It’s a mere 50-minute investment of time – one class session - to prepare students to save a life because one life lost to sudden cardiac arrest is too many. In fact, teaching everyone to use the device and having one nearby is such a no-brainer.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Drying One Another’s Tears Humans have been fashioned, and put into the world by the creator as social creatures. As such, they are not to live in isolation from one another, but to be mindful of their fellows, in good times and bad. Blessed are those who recognize this truth and fulfill what this reality demands! There’s no question that caution requires that we don’t get involved too easily with anyone, for anything. Yet, there are enough individuals in any society who give enough indications of their reliability and who are also open to the courtesies and genuine love expressed to them, even by strangers! It’s most heart-warming to see reports on television of unique, tragic circumstances through which an individual or family may

undergo, and to contemplate the outpouring of support in manifold ways, from countless persons who sympathize with the plight of another. Several years ago I was attracted to a book on account of its title, “Tear Catchers.” By reading its compelling message I also learned it was the name of an organization, founded by the book’s author to provide a simple, yet most significant service. The key idea was to be ready to befriend others going through sad moments and lending a shoulder to cry, a compassionate ear to listen, and eyes ever alert to the needs of others, because there’s always something one can do to diminish misery, and personally (not intrusively) get involved

in situations where tears can be dried up, and solutions found and provided to varied rough experiences faced by others. I never forgot what impressed me greatly at some point during my childhood, when an organized group of people in the large city where I resided, took upon themselves to scan several of the daily newspapers, looking for families who had undergone some tragedy, or lost a loved one, or who were reported as experiencing some tough situation in life. The amazing result of that communal project, was establishing immediate contact with the needy family, by phone or in person, to inquire from them more fully regarding what could be done for them in their dif-

ficulty. That act itself, through the concern shown, were factors that right away diminished the pain being faced by an individual or family. What started as an experiment in expressing, loving kindness, became an ongoing effort of communal compassion, until conditions improved and the help was no longer needed. Such altruism still has a place in any society, for any city or town, regardless of its size, has countless persons daily shedding tears who will welcome those “tear catchers” or others who can take an interest in their condition and do whatever is within their power. And as you do unto others, it shall also be done unto you at your time of need!

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

HighTower Advisors Announce New Team In Boca Raton By Casey Westfall

HighTower Advisors is one of the most successful wealth management firms in the nation, having received praise from publications such as Forbes and Barron’s. Now, the private Chicago-based firm is bringing their skill and talent to Boca Raton. HighTower’s new team in Boca Raton is the third one established this year and the second one in Florida. This brings the amount of HighTower teams in the state to a total of eight. The team develops custom investment solutions for businesses, individuals, and families with a high net worth. They specialize in wealth transfer, generational wealth planning, investor education, goal-based financial planning, and diversified portfolios. Currently, they manage around $125 million in assets. The team are headed by Managing Directors Al Martinez and Chris Ure, along with Director Jordan Rae. “We selected HighTower for their commit-

ment to growth, dedication to clients, and for the opportunity to leverage their unmatched expertise and resources on behalf of our business and our clients,” said Ure. “HighTower has a proven track record for driving the business growth of top financial advisors.” All three have worked at UBS prior to their employment at HighTower while Ure and Martinez have also worked at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in leadership. In addition, Ure previously worked at Ernst & Young, and at various entrepreneurial business endeavors in Broward County. HighTower Advisors was founded in 2007 by Elliot Weissbluth, who still remains CEO of the firm. This year, two of their advisors made Barron’s annual list of the top 100 in the nation. Back in 2015, they were named the second most successful wealth management firm in the nation by Forbes in their annual Top 100 Wealth Managers list, having reported a 37% increase in annual growth since 2014, and $20.6 billion under management.

FAU Researcher Receives NIH Grant to Continue Development of New Therapeutic Agents

A leading scientist at Florida Atlantic University has received $540,250 from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue his groundbreaking research to develop new therapeutic agents for collagen-based diseases including multiple sclerosis, cancer and sepsis. Collagen-based diseases also referred to as connective tissue diseases involve the protein-rich tissue that supports organs as well as other parts of the body such as fat, bone and cartilage. These connective tissues serve as the framework for the body and are composed of two major structural protein molecules, collagen and elastin. Gregg Fields, Ph.D., principal investigator, professor, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and director of the Center for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter, Fla., has spent more than 15 years researching the use of chemical approaches to better understand how protein three-dimensional structures influence cellular and enzymatic behaviors. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system involving the loss of the blood-brain barrier integrity and plaque development in the brain.

www.bocaratontribune.com

“MS progresses due to destruction of basement membrane collagen found at the blood-brain barrier,” said Fields. “A research focus in my laboratory has been to develop models for the study of collagen degradative processes. These models have helped to identify the mechanisms of collagen catabolism, which are involved in a number of collagen-based diseases including MS, cancer and sepsis.” Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have long been recognized as potential targets for a variety of pathologies, including tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, osteoarthritis (OA), inflammation, periodontitis, vascular diseases, post-myocardial infarction remodeling, neurodegenerative diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. “This NIH grant will allow us to continue our work to examine the role of MMPs in diseases like MS since several MMPs are known to degrade collagen,” said Fields. Fields, who is a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is a renowned researcher who holds seven U.S. patents and has authored more than 250 scientific publications. He has participated in 13 NIH R01 grants, either as principal investigator or co-principal investigator, and has presented more than 200 invited lectures. “Dr. Fields is one of our most distinguished and accomplished scientists at Florida Atlantic University, and this grant will enable him to continue his lifesaving work to develop treatments for some of the most devastating diseases and conditions that afflict us globally,” said Janet Blanks, Ph.D., interim dean of FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science.

“Operation Street Sweeper” Removes 11 Suspected Drug Dealers From Delray Streets By CRA News Service

Eleven people were arrested in a twomonth undercover investigation aimed at predatory drug dealers, authorities announced during a press conference recently. Operation Street Sweeper also combatted the growing number of overdoses in the city, police said. “This is our message to the predatory drug dealers who come to our city to prey on the vulnerable recovery population here: sooner or later, you will end up going to jail. If you are dealing heroin, stay out of Delray Beach,” police Chief Jeff Goldman said. “By no means is this the end of our enforcement efforts.” Throughout the investigation, undercover officers repeatedly bought mostly heroin but some prescription pills and crack cocaine from dozens of dealers, police said. They then got arrest warrants for the drug

dealers. Police said they have seen a significant jump in the number of drug overdoses in the first three month this year over the same time last year. In the first three months this year, there were 163 drug overdoses, of which 131 involved heroin and 11 were fatal, police said. In the first three months of 2015, there were only nine total overdoses and 195 for the entire year, police said. Operation Street Sweeper is part of the agency’s three-prong approach to reduce the number of overdoses in Delray Beach, police said. That approach includes education, life-saving efforts and enforcement. The operation is ongoing. “We’re going to make it really difficult for people to come into our community and deal heroin and prey on the community that’s here, that vulnerable community which is here,” Goldman said.

Kevin Costner Uglies Up for “Criminal”

Charlotte’s Travels Photos by Charlotte Beasley

Opening nite for the Palm Beach Film Festival took place at Muvico in CityPlace in West Palm[ Beach where the movie the “Money” premiered. It was followed by a large after party. The next nite we attended the premiere of the comedy “The Pickle Recipe” at the Cinemark theatre in Boca Raton. A very funny movie about a secret pickle recipe. The next evening we saw a documentary called “When Elephants were Young” about elephants in captivity in Thailand that are let loose to go back to the jungle. Very nicely done by Patricia Sims. The following evening we enjoyed

the movie “The Wedding Invitation” about three girlfriends looking for dates for their friend’s wedding. Very cute film. On Sunday I previewed the movie “Children of the Sex Trade” a documentary done in the Phillipines about young girls sold into the sex trade. I saw several other films during the week including “Breaking Legs and Neptune. On Thursday evening I attended the closing nite movie “Silver Skies” with George Hamilton” a well done comedy. After the film there was a party upstairs at Bogarts which was well attended by a large crowd.

What is up with Kevin Costner? Is he trying to disavow his handsome movie star image? One might think so from “Criminal,” Costner’s latest movie. Costner starts out as long-haired and bearded. Then his hair is shorn into an ugly buzz cut so his brain can be operated upon to implant the memories and experiences of another man. The memories are from a CIA operative named Bill Pope (Ryan Reynolds). Pope is killed before he can complete his mission of defeating a young hacker known as “The Dutchman” (Michael Pitt). Jericho Stewart (Kevin Costner) is a death row inmate presumably assumed expendable. In this far-fetched fantasy by the late Douglas Cook, who died in 2015, and David Weisberg, who collaborated with Cook on “Double Jeopardy,” Stewart is operated

upon by Dr. Franks (Tommy Lee Jones, looking more furrowed and wrinkled than ever) and implanted with the memories of Bill Pope in hopes Jericho can catch the dastardly Dutchman, It gets more confusing from there. Bill Pope had a beautiful wife named Jill (stunning Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who is Wonder Woman in the current “Batman vs Superman” movie). The director is another Israeli, Aviel Vroman, who previously collaborated with the screenwriters and Tommy Lee Jones on “Double Jeopardy.” I couldn’t quite figure out who the character of Quaker Wells (Gary Oldman) was supposed to be. I’m guessing a CIA mucketymuck, but much of the plot is murky. What is not murky is the special effects and “blow up real good” stunts. The setting is mostly in London, England, which is at least scenic. Kevin Costner has had winners (“Bull Durham,” “Field of Dreams” and “Dances With Wolves), and he has had losers (“Waterworld,” “The Postman). I think “Criminal” ranks in the second category.

DeTrani, who previously had a long career in the U.S. intelligence community, including a distinguished stint at the Central Intelligence Agency, spoke about “Nuclear Threats from North Korea and Iran.” Before DeTrani spoke, the Citizens for National Security (CFNS) unveiled its new film, “Textbooks and Terrorists,” for the very first time in an exclusive screening for CFNS members and guests. This film shows how biased content in K-12 history and geography textbooks in the United States can indoctrinate and radicalize children, causing some of them to become homegrown terrorists. • A plan to raise Palm Beach County’s sales tax rate crossed a major hurdle this week, securing the necessary support from cities to move forward, County Administrator Verdenia Baker said. “We have come together as a community in united front in recognizing the need to improve our infrastructure”. • Uber and Lyft got a green light in Palm Beach County. The County Commission gave final approval in a 5-1 vote to new rules that will keep the popular ride-hailing services on the road. But the vote wasn’t without a few bumps in the road. Commissioner Paulette Burdick said she has concerns about the quality of the background checks Uber conducts.

Accountability In A Compassionate Enterprise Dr. Gonzales was a highly skilled dentist who presented himself to his patients as unusually caring and compassionate. He took extra time so clients were reassured and understood the procedures they would be experiencing. He occasionally provided services without charge for those who could not afford them, and typically followed up to make sure his patients were making good progress after major procedures. However, there was a problem with some members of his staff. They took advantage of their boss’s tender nature, cutting corners in ways that would never be permitted in a demanding, no-nonsense workplace. These workers felt no accountability to him and did not fear having to incur any disciplinary action from him. Dr. Gonzales decided he needed to make some changes, knowing that if he did not, eventually his patients and the reputation of his practice would suffer. He had to command the highest level of respect and professional diligence from his co-workers, without compromising his gentle and caring nature. But just how to accomplish this was another matter. He simply was not sure. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION How might Dr. Gonzales establish greater accountability in his practice? Could he change the overall culture to more clearly align with his personal values and demeanor, while at the same time maintaining an efficient business model? If so, how? Should he be willing to terminate and replace members of his staff to achieve this goal? Why or why not? And if so, how do you think he could best go about doing that? What kinds of measures should he institute

to assure sustained compliance by his staff to the standards he desires to maintain? BEST PRACTICES Compassion and accountability are parallel truths. They are like twin rails on which trains run. Both are necessary, even if some feel compassion and accountability are in conflict and cannot coexist. Wise business leaders strive to make certain that both qualities are fully functioning in their organizations, never emphasizing one to the exclusion of the other. FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION A passage from the Old Testament book of Proverbs clearly expresses the importance of blending both compassion and accountability in a business context: “Let not mercy and truth forsake you” (Proverbs 3:3). Jesus, in addressing a group of leaders prepared to stone a woman caught in the act of adultery, offered a classic example of how to effectively merge compassion and accountability in a real-life situation. He said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” After all of the woman’s accusers departed, Jesus said to her with compassion, “Neither do I condemn you.” He did not stop there. To hold her accountable, He added, “Go, and sin no more” (John 8:1-11). In my book, Loving Monday, I explain how, when utilized properly, compassion and accountability can serve as two sides of the same coin: “Compassion without accountability produces sentimentalism. Accountability without compassion is harsh and heartless. Compassion teamed up with accountability is a powerful force.” They must be kept in balance, applying equal measures of both as needed.

Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and band kick’s off their North American Tour in Fort Lauderdale, FL at BB&T Center on April 8th, 2016. Eddie takes the crowd into an emotional spin, showing that the relationship between the band and its loyal fans are stronger than ever! unforgettable performance!

Boca Raton’s The Dubliner restaurant and pub will be hosting the 4th Annual Cowboys and Angels event on Saturday April 23, 2016. The fundraiser was created in memory of Nicole Marrie Garrish, a former Boca High student and cheerleader. She passed away on April 21, 2012 due to an aortic aneurysm, a fatal heart condition. She was only 22 years of age at the time. Her high blood pressure had gone undetected until the day of her passing. The Cowboys and Angels fundraiser brings friends and family together as a tribute to Garrish’s love of country music. Tickets are available for purchase at the official web page of the Nicole Marie Garrish Memorial Foundation and will also be sold at the door for $30. Each ticket includes dinner and a drink. Garrish also inspired a new statue in the form of a Bobcat located in Boca Raton High’s stadium near the concession stand on campus. The statue was installed in early February of 2016. A special event scheduled during the lacrosse season centered on the bobcat statue. A dedication ceremony was done to honor her and her family. Her father is the coach of a Georgia lacrosse team that traveled down to Florida to play Boca High’s Girls lacrosse team. Garrish enrolled at Boca High near the end of her junior year and was the Varsity Cheerleading Captain her senior year. As a matter of fact, Garrish

maintained an “A” average throughout her courses, while also participating on Boca High’s Girls Lacrosse Team. Her brother, John Garrish, was also an outstanding student during his years as a Bobcat. “It’s just a way to commemorate her spirit and what an amazing young lady she was,” said Dr. Mckee. In addition to the statue, the Nicole Marie Garrish Foundation has established a butterfly garden in the Tri Delta House at Florida State University, where she attended school, as well as a brick set in front of the Westscott Fountain. Garrish attended Florida State University from 2007 to 2011, and her fellow sorority members made the “Noles for Nicole” event to pay homage to Garrish’s love for the university and football. A scholarship program in Nicole’s memory is also offered by Boca High for any senior who applies. The scholarship is directed toward students who are either cheerleaders or football players who plan on attending FSU. Candidates are chosen by the administration based on the same attributes Garrish exhibited throughout her high school years. Past scholarship recipients include Katie Galinas, JR Sims, Kaitlyn Doering, Scott Long, and Paige Sterrenberg. “I think the statue is a great way to commemorate her [Garrish] because it shows Bobcat spirit and how she was an important part of the school,” said senior Nicole Kalinger.

FAU Athletics Celebrates 2015-16 with Owlspys

Florida Atlantic University's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) presented the Second Annual FAU Owlspys Awards which was held in the University Theatre within the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters at FAU's Boca Raton campus. The night was highlighted by 21 awards, including the "Student-Athlete of the Year" awards. The female honor was bestowed to Claire Emslie, a senior on the women's soccer team who will graduate in the coming weeks with a degree in exercise science and health promotion and holds a 3.886 G.P.A. Emslie is the only FAU player to earn all-conference honors four-consecutive seasons. She was a 2015 National Soccer Coaches Association of the America All-Central Region second team member after wrapping up one of the most impressive careers in the history of FAU women's soccer. With seven goals in 2015, Emslie broke the FAU career goals-scored mark,

set in 1994, and moved into second place with ten game-winning strikes. She led the Owls to their best season since 2005. The male "StudentAthlete of the Year" honor was awarded to senior swimmer Matthieu Burtez. The accounting major, who will graduate the first week of May with a 3.945 G.P.A., participated in every 2015-16 meet and was one of the 2016 CCSA All-Academic Honorees. At the Georgia Tech Invitational this season, Burtez set a season-best time in the 50 free (20.38). That time ranked him second among CCSA swimmers. In the same meet, Burtez's 100 free (45.10) time placed him third among all CCSA competitors. This season, Burtez also set the school record in the 100 IM (53.07) and was a part of the 200 medley relay team who set a school record with a time of 1:29.58. The female "Athlete of the Year" honor was awarded to Kylee Hanson. Kylee Hanson was named Preseason Conference USA Pitcher of the Year and has lived up to the accolades. She earned ESPNW National Player of the Week honors for her performance on the opening weekend, including throwing her second no-hitter in a 1-0 win over Tulsa as part of a two-win,

two-save weekend. Hanson has earned CUSA pitcher of the week honors four times in 2016 and a total of seven times in her career. She has thrown 10 complete games in 2016, holds a 17-3 record, a 0.67 ERA and has tallied 182 strikeouts. The male "Athlete of the Year" honor was awarded to junior defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson who turned in a stellar season in 2015. The defensive end recorded a total of 39 tackles but nearly half were tackles for a loss and a third were sacks. He also forced five fumbles on the season, including one that ended in a score which tied the game at UF. He then blocked the extra point attempt that would put the Owls in position to take the game with a score and extra point. Versus FIU, he forced a fumble that set up the Owls' first score in a game that they rolled to a 31-17 victory. Hendrickson finished the season No. 2 nationally in sacks with 13.5, No. 1 in C-USA and set FAU's all-time single-season sack record.

The Boca Raton Tribune Yo u r C l o s e s t N e i g h b o r

They needed extra innings and execution had to be perfect for the Fighting Knights. Lynn began with a 5-0 lead. As the game progressed, at the top of the fifth Corbitt’s second hit increased the lead to 6-1 for Lynn. But the bottom of the fifth inning was not too pretty. The Fighting Knights let six St. Thomas players cross home plate and giving them first lead of the night. However, with extra innings and key defensive plays the Fighting Knights were able to grip a 8-7 victory over the Bobcats.
