The Boca Raton Tribune
COMMUNITY District Votes to Pursue Third-Party Funding For Boca National Golf Course Project The Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District (The District) voted on Monday to pursue a bond, most of which will fund the development of Boca Raton's new public golf course to be built at the former site of Ocean Breeze. “We want to ensure Boca Raton residents have the best facilities at a reasonable cost. After spending 24 months researching the project, we are eager to move ahead with the Boca National Golf Course, giving Boca Raton residents the destination facility they requested,” District Commissioner Bob Rollins said. Complying with a request from the City of Boca Raton, the District spent two years researching what city residents wanted from their new course. The District vetted 17 golf course designers and, with community feedback, contracted with renowned designers Nick Price and Tom Fazio (Price/Fazio) to design a facility that includes an 18-hole course, a 11-hole short course, practice facilities, a learning center and a temporary clubhouse, all of which will be open to the public. When completed, Boca National would immediately become one of the premier public golf facilities in the nation. Price/Fazio submitted their designs four months ago. Since that time, the District and the City of Boca Raton have been in discussions over project funding. Many City officials want to finance a scaled
back version of the approximately $20 million project, thereby eliminating some of the features that make the project special. “This facility will revitalize the north end of our city, from Yamato Rd., north,” Boca Raton resident Angelo Sands told the commission at Monday's hearing. “We pride ourselves in Boca Raton of being a first-class city. Well, first-class city means you have first-class facilities.” With City and District officials once again unable to reach agreement on project funding last week, the five District commissioners voted unanimously to consult with the financial firm Ford and Associates to research third-party terms for financing the entire project. If the District elects to finance the entire project via a bond, Boca Raton, which owns a portion of the land, still has to approve the design. During a May hearing between the District and City, Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer indicated approval shouldn't be a problem as long as the District was not requesting finances from the City. The pursuit of a bond by the District makes this feasible. Upon plan approval, the District expects the project to be completed within two years. Originally developed as Boca Teeca Country Club in the late 1960s, Boca Raton and the District purchased the land in 2018.

South Florida Ranked One of the Most Dangerous for Pedestrian Deaths
MORE THAN JUST
TAKE OUT
THE TRASH,
CLEAN
BATHROOMS,
By Christina Hristoforidis South Florida has unfortunately experienced a plethora of news surrounding pedestrian deaths within the past year. A recent study conducted by the non-profit, “Smart Growth America�, evaluated and recorded pedestrian crashes from 2008 to 2017. According to WPTV, the study ranked the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area as the 14th most dangerous for auto pedestrian accidents.
September 20 - September 26, 2019
The study found 49,340 individuals were struck and killed while crossing the streets in the U.S. and 5,433 of those deaths were in Florida. Florida was also the location of 8 out of the top 10 most dangerous metro areas, Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford being No. 1. As a result, West Palm Beach started the Vision Zero program last year in an attempt to achieve zero fatalities and injuries by 2020.

U.S. News Ranks Palm Beach Atlantic Among Best in Nation
Palm Beach Atlantic University is listed among the top universities in the country for the first time, according to the U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2020 edition released Sept. 9. The University’s rating falls in the second tier of national universities (No. 293-381) in the study that includes rankings of more than 1,800 schools nationwide. Based on a reclassification in 2018 of Palm Beach Atlantic, the University moved from the regional to the national rankings, which assess institutions offering doctoral and professional programs, and conducting a high level of research. “Launching our 51st year,
PBA is steadfast in our mission to enlighten minds, enrich souls and extend hands in service” said President William M.B. Fleming, Jr. “As South Florida’s premier Christ-first university, we are grateful for our strong enrollment, sound financial footing and growing numbers of alumni who excel in their workplaces and communities.” In addition, U.S. News ranked Palm Beach Atlantic No. 165 among Top Schools for Social Mobility, which indicates how well colleges serve low-income students, and No. 98 among Pharmacy Schools.

West Boca High School Chorus Needs Your Financial Support Should the average parent or taxpayer in Boca Raton care whether we have a great music program in the schools — or any music program at all, for that matter? Music is a nice idea, but is it essential? And given our schools’ focus on having all students achieve standards in reading, writing and math, can we afford to spend time on something like music? I say, “Yes” to all three - music should be part of every child’s education. Every year dozens of our students who participate in band and orchestra cannot afford to rent or buy their instruments. But there is an even greater challenge facing them: so many people are reluctant to support it financially. That’s why the West Boca High School Chorus is holding a fundraiser. This is the second year that The Boca Raton Tribune is urging you to support them. “Your generous support will help us offer a higher quality music experience for all of our students and families involved,” Catherine Briggs, the group’s leader, wrote in a post on their campaign webpage. “Your donation is tax deductible and you will receive a receipt via email for
your generous gift. If you could, please spread the word about our fundraiser by sharing it with your friends via email, text and social media - we would greatly appreciate it! We strive to create high quality music experiences that bring pride to our school and local community.” Donations will be used to buy sheet music, uniform maintenance, festival fees, transportation, voice lesson scholarships and awards, among other necessities. The choirs are largely self-funded. Typically, many public-school music programs have little to no official budget, so they must rely on teacher out-of-pocket spending, fundraisers or support through parent-teacher organizations. For years, music classes have been the ugly ducklings of school curriculums. When school districts must make budget cuts, music and arts programs are often the last courses to be added and the first on the chopping block. It is both interesting and so disheartening that many people never think about how the artists – who soothes our hearts with such melodious sounds – often achieve their status.
It takes money to pay for practice sessions to eventually read the sheet music and to play those instruments. Let’s face it, music is always around us. We do not do anything without music. We get music, just by turning on our TVs or radios, our ringtones and even the nursery rhymes. Yet, we often take it for granted that it’s going to be there. Through your donations all of Briggs’ vocal music students will receive a high quality and comprehensive music experience this year. “I was really hoping to gain your support. If making a gift is not something you are able to do at this time, then please consider sharing the fundraiser to any of your peers who may be interested,” Kamryn Mills, a graduating senior and president of the KOP Mentoring Network, wrote in an email to me. Last year, I matched up to the first $100 that she raised and this year I am making every effort to ensure she meets her goal of $500. I encourage you to also invest wisely in this child. Along with being an outstanding student academically, she is disciplined, polite and very appreciative
of everything she gets. “Thank you so much and I really appreciate all of your help! Your support will help make this season one to remember,” she continued. Educators say that music opportunities such as jazz band and orchestra ensembles give students a chance to connect outside of the classroom. They also give staff an opportunity to showcase talented student groups while offering the community opportunities to see live performances. Music education is such an important piece of the puzzle that helps us prepare students for life. Studies also suggest that those who learn music score better on math tests, which supports my theory of why music education should be a required component in all schools because of the proven academic, social, and personal benefits it provides. With Boca Raton being a caring and generous community that sees the value in music education, let us do our part to help fill that need for some of our children.
POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy
Humble, Hungry and Hard-Working Everyone, it seems, wants to know the secret to success. I recall as a young journalist looking around and seeing people I admired, individuals who were already making their mark in the world. “I want to be like them!” I thought. “How do I get to where they are?” Unfortunately, there is no single, universal secret to success. Bookstores and libraries are filled with copies of books by authors who claim to know the secret. If we go to an online retail site that sells books, and enter “Success” in the search box, we can find numerous choices written by people who will tell us with great conviction how they achieved success. There are countless slogans, philosophies and strategies for becoming successful, but sometimes it helps to realize that while there is no magic, one-size-
September 20 - September 26, 2019
fits-all formula. For most people, success requires a few very simple ingredients, things that do not require very specific skill sets. Usually I put little stock in what actors and other entertainers have to say, even rich and famous ones. Because their careers consist of pretending to be other people that they are not, living in worlds that do not exist. So how can they be experts on reality? However, recently I came across a quotation by an actor that suggested a time-tested path to success that made so much sense I could not ignore it. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, an actor who has appeared in many commercially successful films, said, “Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.” That resonated with me, and I suspect it has appeal for others as well. He did not say we must be the smartest people, or the ones with
the most status, or the most impressive resumes. Johnson simply said we must be humble, hungry, and willing to outwork everyone else. This is exactly what the Bible teaches in the book of Proverbs: Humility can be a very attractive quality. In a world where many people are seeking to draw attention to themselves, there is something refreshing about people who work quietly, efficiently and with excellence, not overflowing with egotism. “Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor” (Proverbs 18:12). “Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life” (Proverbs 22:4). Hunger can be an excellent motivator. Complacency and self-satisfaction can inhibit top performance, but hunger – whether to pay bills, gain a client, make a sale, or achieve a goal – can inspire our best work. “The laborer’s appetite works
www.bocaratontribune.com
for him; his hunger drives him on” (Proverbs 16:26). “He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment” (Proverbs 12:11). Hard work, with excellence, receives notice. Which would you rather see: Someone trying everything possible to be noticed, or someone whose work is of such high quality that it speaks for itself ? One’s diligence and excellence serve as outstanding character references. “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth” (Proverbs 10:4). “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men” (Proverbs 22:29). If success is what you seek, cultivate humility, stay hungry, and never stop working hard.

Pre Mayor’s Ball Rotary Reception The Downtown Boca Raton Rotary club held a fantastic Pre Mayor’s Ball reception at Saks Fifth Ave. Well over a hundred people enjoyed delicious appetizers and wines and were treated to a fashion show and ballroom dancers. Kudos to the committee who put this event together.
Trusting in God’s Direction, No Matter What
When Larry was CEO of an information systems company, someone filed an unwarranted lawsuit against the company. Along the way, even though Larry’s company was innocent of any wrongdoing, many people urged him to settle the lawsuit. The cost of mounting a defense, even if unjustified, as well as the time defending the case would require, made an out of court settlement the most reasonable course of action, they contended. Rather than conceding to those recommendations, Larry prayed for wisdom and direction. As he did that, God impressed upon Larry that rather than settling, he should defend the company because it was innocent. The prolonged legal process did cost millions of dollars in legal fees, but the company was ultimately vindicated and cleared of the wrongful claims. In the meantime, God blessed and prospered the business so much that the legal fees became insignificant in size. Reflecting back on that troublesome and stressful time, Larry concluded that the fact his company had thrived in the midst of great adversity was a reflection of God’s favor for obedience. Repeatedly in the Scriptures we read that we should seek God-inspired counsel when confronted with difficult decisions. For instance, Proverbs 15:22 states, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” However, that does not guarantee that all the advice we receive is necessarily correct. We need to consult the Lord directly, and when He leads us in ways contrary to the counsel we have received, we still must do as He instructs.
www.bocaratontribune.com
Close, trusted friends are an asset, without question. But they can never replace and should not supplant the counsel of the One we should trust the most. Jesus spoke to His followers and admonished them about the importance of remaining close to Him: If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you” John 15:7). The Bible often underscores the importance of having complete trust in God: Trust even when we don’t understand. Sometimes God calls us to act in counterintuitive ways, as Larry did in rejecting the recommendation to settle the unwarranted suit. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight”(Proverbs 3:5-6). Trust even when we fear disaster. Emotions may cause us to seek the fastest, seemingly easiest solutions to pressing problems. However, belief that God has our best interests at heart should encourage us to look to Him, rather than at our circumstances. “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11). Trust even when God’s way doesn’t seem practical. If God is leading you to take a stand, trust in Him, even when others disagree. “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun” (Psalm 37:45).

U.S. News & World Report ranks Lynn University among “Best Colleges” for 2020
U.S. News & World Report today announced the “Best Colleges” for 2020 and named Lynn University one of the south region’s top universities. Lynn placed No. 1 in the “Most International Students, Regional Universities South” category and 65 of 133 in “Best Regional Universities South,” up 35 spots from last year. The publication also categorized “Campus Ethnic Diversity” for the first time and ranked Lynn 25 of 39 in the region. “We continue to elevate the value of a Lynn education, which is
demonstrated by our rise in nationally recognized rankings,” said Gareth Fowles, vice president for enrollment management. “In turn, more students are choosing Lynn for the innovative, global and personalized education it provides.” Lynn welcomed a record-breaking 1,224 new undergraduate and graduate students in August.

Palm Beach Atlantic University SunPass Backlog Billing Results in Pumps $426M into Local Economy Unpaid Balance of $120 Million The University contributed $426 million to Palm Beach County’s economy in the most recent academic year — a 5.7 percent increase over the previous year, according to PBA’s Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. The University’s economic impact in 2018 was $403 million, according to the report. “PBA students and alumni have a significant impact in the community through their learning, leadership and service,” said President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. “Employers and community leaders recognize them for their integrity and committed service through programs such as Workship.” Students account for $55.8 million through housing, meals, transportation and miscellaneous expenses. Additionally, they contributed 138,172 hours to churches and nonprofit agencies through Workship, the University’s signature community service program. The program’s annual economic impact is
September 20 - September 26, 2019
estimated at about $2.1 million. PBA spends 98 percent of its annual budget, to the tune of $71.7 million, in the Palm Beach County area. That does not include employee salaries. Because most faculty and staff spend much of their salaries locally, the economic impact of salaries is another $34.7 million. PBA is along the Intracoastal Waterway, within steps of Downtown West Palm Beach and across from Palm Beach island. Palm Beach County boasts 29 beach parks and 47 miles of Atlantic coastline. The University attracted 40,291 visitors, including prospective students and their families, athletes and spectators, business executives and educators attending association events and performing arts patrons. Food and accommodations represent a $6.3 million impact. An indirect multiplier of 2.5 was used to arrive at the total economic impact.
SunPass is extremely common among Florida highways and often of the time, people pay their amount. However, as of this week Florida lawmakers discovered that a backlog of month long delayed billing in SunPass billing last year has resulted in $120 million owed. The backlog resulted in customers receiving three invoices within the span of 90 days. This included collections and holds on their vehicle registrations if they failed to pay all the amounts due. According to WPTV, the Executive Director of Turnpike Enterprise
www.bocaratontribune.com
Nicola Liquori, addressed the situation through a presentation to the Florida House of Transportation and Infrastructure this week. Liquori states, due to the backlog and system error, they do not expect to recover all the owed money. As an attempt to remedy the situation, the Florida transportation officials announced their seek for new bids in three years rather than renewing contacts with Conduent State and Local Solution that oversaw SunPass conversion.

SPORTS FAU Defeats Ball State 41-31
Florida Atlantic University picked up win No. 1 of the season, topping Ball State on Saturday at Scheumann Stadium, 41-31. The Owls’ defense swarmed the Cardinals for four turnovers and posted 10 tackles for loss, while wide receiver John Mitchell had a career day as he tied the alltime program record with three touchdown catches. “I think there’s a sense of excitement but there’s also a sense of relief,” said head coach Lane Kiffin. “We’re down 14-7 even though we’re kind of outplaying them, you know, here we go again. I think that the changing point was right before half … being able to go down there and score was a big deal.” FAU (1-2) won the coin toss and chose to receive. Ball State (1-2) held the first Owl drive to a three-and-out. The first two Cardinal plays were for naught: Rashad Smith hit a receiver as soon as he caught the first pass for a loss, and he and Ray Ellis bottled up a back right at the line of scrimmage. After a completion on 3rd down from Chris Robison to Tavaris Harrison, the Owls went for it on their own 34. Larry McCammon III went for eight yards on 4th-and-1 to move the chains. Smith continued to shine, picking up a fumble on a missed connection when Ball State was attempting a reverse that gave the ball to the Owls on the BSU 31. The drive began on a six-yard successful shovel pass to Deangelo Antoine; then, Robison found John Mitchell for nine yards and a first down, to the 16. The Owls then continue to move the ball in chunks: James Charles on the ground for four yards and five; Robison got three on a keeper for the first down; and then Robison put FAU on the board with a four-yard slant to John Raine for the score. After forcing a BSU punt, the Owls to the edge of Cardinal territory with first down catches by Raine and Dante Cousart, and across midfield on an eight-yard jet sweep by Antoine. On the next play, freshman Kelvin Dean, Jr.'s first collegiate carry went for a first down; however, his second saw a BSU forced fumble, scoop and score to tie the game. The very next Owls' play also was a fumble forced and recovered by the Cardinals, giving them the ball on the FAU 14. They took the lead on a one-play
September 20 - September 26, 2019
drive, a 14-yard touchdown pass. The Owls' defense held firm despite a 51-yard quarterback run to take it into the red zone. A two-yard rush and two incompletions came before a 30-yard Cardinal field goal. Facing a long 3rd down after back-to-back losses, Robison again hooked up with Mitchell in space for 22 yards. That gave the senior wideout 75 yards in the game, not just the most in a game in his career, but more than in any prior season in total. With BSU driving late in the half, Leighton McCarthy came up with an eight-yard sack, his second of the season (and the second of the day for the Owls, following Tim Bonner's a handful of plays earlier). The drive would end as the Cardinals missed a 40-yard field goal attempt. Again the Owls got near midfield, Robison to Mitchell for 17 more (giving him 92 yards in the first half). An 11-yard completion to Harrison preceded an 18-yard run by McCammon, down to the BSU 26, McCammon then went for five, and eight, the latter another first down that put the ball into the red zone, to the 13. Robison scrambled and then again found Mitchell for his second score of the day, and gave FAU the lead heading into the locker room after the Owls forced a half-opening punt, Robison found Harrison Bryant in stride for a 52yard catch-and-run on their first play. With just over 11 minutes on the clock, Robison went to Mitchell for four yards, giving him exactly 100 on the day The Owls fell a yard short on a 4th down conversion attempt, turning it over to the Cardinals Smith came up with a crucial sack early in the 4th, forcing a fumble on the hit as well, recovered by Ellis to force the Cardinals' fourth turnover of the day First down passes to Bryant (10 yards) and Harrison (22) set up Charles' first touchdown of his FAU career, a fouryard score for a 17-point lead The Cardinals cut back into the deficit late, scoring with 3:52 to go to make it 41-31. After that, the Owls were able to run out the clock, including McCammon getting the final first down. He finished a yard shy of the century mark on the ground in the win.
Lynn Men’s Soccer Cracks Top-10 in National Poll
Lynn University's men's soccer team has shown plenty of resolve in a pair of last second victories but will need to show even more after jumping to No. 10 in the United Soccer Coaches Top-25 poll released on Tuesday. The Fighting Knights, previously ranked 20th, are one of two Sunshine State Conference schools ranked, both of which are within the top-10. Palm Beach Atlantic moved to No. 6 and Florida Tech is receiving votes while reigning national champions Barry fell out of the top-25. Two of Lynn's three victo-
ries this season have come in dramatic fashion. Lynn topped Davenport 3-2 in overtime and then took down Alabama Huntsville 1-0 on a goal with 12 seconds remaining in the match. The Blue and White begin SSC play this weekend at Eckerd. Lynn is one of three teams in the SSC still unbeaten, along with PBA (4-0) and Florida Tech (3-0). The Tritons, though, are no slouches with a 4-1 overall mark, including a 3-0 win over UAH two days after Lynn's victory.
PBA Men's Soccer Up Three Spots in Latest Poll
Palm Beach Atlantic University moved up three spots in the latest United Soccer Coaches Top-25 to No. 6 in the poll announced Tuesday afternoon. The Sailfish had a 2-0 week, moving up to their highest ranking of the early season and moving atop the South Region poll. PBA defeated their first ranked opponent of the season on Sept. 13 when they beat then No. 18 Spring Hill College 2-1 in overtime. Two goals in the game from Claudio Rivadeneira earned him Player of the Week in the Sunshine State Conference. Monday night, the Sailfish defeated Florida Memorial University by a score of 5-1. The win took PBA to 4-0 on

the season. Adelphi University is the new top team in the poll, and Lynn University is the sole other SSC member in the rankings. In the South Region poll, the Sailfish move up from two to the number one spot in the region. The 'Fish already have defeated the No. 4 and No. 8 teams in the South Region with their wins over Spring Hill College and Montevallo University respectively.

Boyd’s Brace Rallies Sailfish to Thrilling Win The Palm Beach Atlantic women's soccer team capped off its three-game road trip with a thrilling come-from-behind victory over the St. Thomas University Bobcats Wednesday night. After surrendering the first goal of the contest, freshman Michaela Boyd produced a pair of second-half goals that gave PBA a 2-1 win. Despite sending multiple through balls past the St. Thomas defense early in the game, the Sailfish failed to register any real threat during the majority of the first half of play. PBA continued to make runs in the Bobcats' defensive third, but had three opportunities wiped out due to offsides calls in the opening 30 minutes. In the 30th minute, St. Thomas made Palm Beach Atlantic pay after a turnover in its own half of the pitch. The Bobcats worked their way down the right wing and sent a cross into the penalty area that was turned in by Sandy Benito to put STU on the board. Immediately following the goal, PBA began playing with more of a sense of urgency, creating chances toward the end of the initial period. Maddie McCarty sent a corner kick into the box that had to be dealt with by the STU keeper before Boyd registered the first shot for the Sailfish that sailed wide.

Although Palm Beach Atlantic controlled possession toward the end of the first 45 minutes, it was St. Thomas who saw itself on top 1-0 at the break. After the 'Fish tallied only a single shot and one corner in the first half, PBA stormed out of the gates quickly in the second half with four shots and backto-back corners by the 60th minute. Kylee Rullo created a quality chance in the 57th minute by cutting back on her left foot and firing a shot on goal. Just a minute later, Boyd slipped through the Bobcat defense and eluded the St. Thomas keeper. The freshman sent her left-footed shot off the woodwork, but was able to corral the ball and slot it into the gaping net to even the game at one. In the waning minutes of the contest, Boyd completed the rally as she received a pass from Karina Williams at the top of the box. Boyd turned, beat the defender and found the back of the net to give PBA a 2-1 advantage with six and a half minutes to go. On Boyd's second goal of the match and team-leading third of the season, Williams recorded her team-best second assist of the year. With the one-goal triumph, Palm Beach Atlantic moved to 3-1 as the team heads into the conference schedule.
