FAU’s Breezeway Renovations Draw Closer to Completion By: Michael Demyan Students returning to Florida Atlantic University last week for the start of the fall semester were in for a surprise as the first portion of renovations to the Breezeway were completed, however they still have to wait a little longer for it to be completely finished. The new look features a modern looking ceiling and slipresistant sidewalk, but the most noticeable addition is probably the new artwork right before the south entrance, featuring the “I love FAU” motto alongside the owl logo. The Breezeway has been a part of the university since the beginning. President Lyndon B. Johnson even set foot on it before speaking at the FAU dedication ceremony in 1964.

By: Michael Demyan Students returning to Florida Atlantic University last week for the start of the fall semester were in for a surprise as the first portion of renovations to the Breezeway were completed, however they still have to wait a little longer for it to be completely finished. The new look features a modern looking ceiling and slip-resistant sidewalk, but the most noticeable addition is probably the new artwork right before the south entrance, featuring the “I love FAU” motto alongside the owl logo. The Breezeway has been a part of the university since the beginning. President Lyndon B. Johnson even set foot on it before speaking at the FAU dedication ceremony in 1964. Today, it sees the most foot traffic than any other place on campus and it had been in need of a renovation for years. While one would think it would be a great place to stroll through during heavy rain, it would often leak, leading students to maneuver around puddles and dripping water like a maze. FAU decided to go forward with plans for a major upgrade to the Breezeway for the first time since it was built and phase one of the renovations began on June 20, 2016 through Turner Construction and M.C. Harry & Associates, Inc. Details of the renovation plans included waterproofing, repairing the concrete, and roof replacement, along with adding LED lights and improving the restrooms. During the planning stage, original budget estimates for the project sat around $2.5 million. When construction
began, it increased to a final total of $3.4 million, but earlier this year that number ballooned to $4.4 million due to unforeseen circumstances during the first phase of renovations. “Concrete and structural repairs required additional engineering input,” FAU design and construction services director Numa Rais said. “What we found in the core of the beams was different from what the original construction drawings from the 1960s were showing.” That ended up pushing back the planned completion of phase one by a month and a half to mid-July of this year. Consequently, the final completion date moved from its originally announced date of November to March 2018. Since then, however, the schedule was revised to combine phases two and three, which moved the date back up to Dec. 22 of this year. Students may still be facing minor inconveniences from short detours, but many are simply anticipating the finished product. FAU junior Tyler Shoens, 22, just started his first semester at the university, so he has yet to attend classes with the Breezeway fully opened. He feels that the construction has not been much of an issue while walking from class to class. “It’s kind of annoying with all the noise and the fences, but I mean, it’s not a hindrance for me,” he said. Luckily for those who are used to walking the full stretch of the Breezeway, they will be able to do so when the green fences that have decorated the area for over a year are removed before the start of the spring semester.

YEA Accepting Applications for 2017-18 Academic Year By: Gabriel Diaz The Boca Chamber's Golden Bell Education Foundation's Young Entrepreneurs Academy is now welcoming applications for the 2017-2018 academic year. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy also known as YEA! is a nine month program put on by The Boca Chamber that walks students in grades 6-12 through the process of starting their own, real businesses.

After all of these processes are complete, the students are then ready to start up their business. One of the greatests success stories is about Rachel Zietz, who started her business, Gladiator Lacrosse at age 13 after attending The Boca Raton Young Entrepreneurs Academy. In the Academy she was able to raise $2,700. After appearing on the hit TV show “Shark Tank”, Rachel’s company now has annual revenue of over $3 million. This will mark the seventh consecutive year that the boca chamber hosts this program for young students in Boca Raton. The application deadline to enroll in the Academy is September 15, 2017.
Haney and DeMauro win Stewart Award
Professors Kanathy Haney and Sandra DeMauro, two of Palm Beach State College’s newest faculty members, are this year’s winners of the Stewart Distinguished Teaching Award. The recipients were announced during Convocation Aug. 21 where President Ava L. Parker and other College leaders welcomed faculty and staff for the 2017-2018 academic year. The Stewart Distinguished Teaching Award is the highest award presented by the College to faculty. It recognizes faculty and program instructors who use interactive learning to promote student engagement, and it comes with a $5,000 cash prize. As part of the self-nomination process, professors must demonstrate that they go beyond the norm by developing, implementing, assessing and analyzing innovative learning practices to help students succeed in reaching their academic goals. Haney was chosen for a project requiring students to identify a health topic to explore throughout the term and monitor how it applies to their lives. The students keep a paper, notebook or electronic journal documenting their experiences with the topic and monitor how it is portrayed in the media. They develop a public service announcement or infographic that is presented at the end of the term. “Their goal is to come up with enough information in a project to correct what people misunderstand because a lot of people don’t have accurate health information,’’ said Haney, who began teaching at PBSC as an adjunct instructor in spring 2014 before becoming a full time professor in fall of that year. “I am truly honored to have been chosen by my fellow colleagues

for the project that has evolved since I first started as an adjunct. It has been a wonderful experience to watch my students develop their health literacy projects to decrease health disparities. The infographics and PSAs my students have made are amazing health communication pieces that can be just what people need to see in order to make changes in their lives and health habits. I have the privilege of learning from the unique perspective of each of my students.” DeMauro, who began teaching as an adjunct instructor of Introduction to the College Experience in fall 2011 before becoming full time in fall 2014, was selected for a community-based learning project for students enrolled in the honors section of the course. Her students read last year’s common reader, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” during the first month of class. In groups, they discussed various prevalent themes in the book. They identified and discussed over 20 themes, and then they worked in groups to identify those they would use for a community based learning project. One group organized, in partnership with the College-Wide Counseling Center, a “Relax on the Lawn” event to address the importance of mental health and seeking help from available resources. Another group coordinated a Diversity Awareness campaign event held in the library. The other two groups were involved in cancer awareness events. “I was so proud of my students because they went above and beyond in planning and executing their projects. They not only learned about an amazing personal story, they experienced the value of community engagement,’’ DeMauro said. “I am so honored be recognized for this award, and I look forward to this semester as we use the common reader, “I Am Malala.” Dr. Anita Kaplan, dean of the bachelor degree programs who chairs the selection committee, said about a dozen nomination packets were submitted. She applauded the winners for their projects as they encouraged student interaction and collaboration. “Team building and team work is very important for our students.”

Let us Celebrate our Workers this Labor Day This weekend, many of us will be heading out of town or observing Labor Day with picnics, parades or that one last neighborhood barbeque. This also heralds the unofficial end of summer, churches return to their regular worship schedules and for those of us who follow traditional fashion rules, a time to store away our white shoes for a few months. But amidst the end of summer rituals, let us be mindful of the holiday’s roots. Labor Day is a national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country, and what better way to do that than to give them a three-day weekend? To keep things in perspective, let us look at the era in which Labor Day was born. The circumstances of its birth were bloody. Unrest led to the first Labor Day because working conditions in the
1800s were horrible. Men and women workers had ridiculously long schedules for low wages in often in dangerous situations. Before becoming a national holiday, Labor Day was celebrated in individual states. Among the first were New York, New Jersey and Colorado, which approved the holiday in 1887, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. But it was the protests in Chicago that can be credited as the reason for it becoming a national holiday. George Pullman, president of the famed railroad sleeping car company, had built a utopian community, south of what were then Chicago’s city limits, for his workers. Pullman Town had schools, all the shops and factories the residents needed, and Pullman bank, from which their weekly paychecks were drawn. Pullman set their rent and deducted it automatically from their paychecks. Pullman himself lived in a
luxurious hotel while the assembly and craft workers lived in row houses and the managers had modest Victorians. The town, and the company, operated smoothly and successfully for more than a decade until 1893. But during the great depression, orders for railroad sleeping cars declined, and Pullman was forced to lay off hundreds of workers. Those who kept their jobs saw pay cuts, although their rents remained consistent. Workers for Pullman’s sleeping car company had staged a strike after he cut their wages but kept their rent prices at the same rate. So the workers went on strike demanding more money and lower rents. The 150,000 members of the American Railway Union supported them by refusing to work on trains carrying Pullman cars. Mobs of non-union workers rioted, pillages and burned railroad. The strike instantly became a
POSITIVE LIVING
national issue that disrupted train traffic across the country, prompting President Grover Cleveland to dispatch troops to Chicago to end the strike. The confrontation led to riots, and many of the protesters were wounded or killed. A federal judge declared the strike an illegal interference with the mail after the protesters uncoupled the Pullman’s cars from trains and, in some instances, destroyed them. As an election-year concession to union workers, Cleveland - in the midst of that unrest - established Labor Day as a federal holiday in 1894. The Boca Raton Tribune honors all working men and women, who have built the country’s infrastructure, uplifted our economy, contributed to bettering our society and who do their jobs faithfully without daily thanks or praise.

Facing New Beginnings With Courage! Everyone should face any new beginning with zest and enthusiasm if good things are to emerge from that experience. It is always good to be forward-looking, but far better to be forward moving! Looking ahead offers invitations that need to be answered. The future is always calling us, humans, but only those who respond with decisive action shall benefit from the challenges being presented! A forward-looking attitude alone will never advance you beyond the statusquo. And that is not the posture anyone
desires to observe, for new opportunities are calling us, new challenges await everyone, everywhere! And challenges are not to be feared but simply to be confronted with courage and decisive action! New beginnings usually occur after something else has ended. An old year concludes, but a new one immediately arrives, leaving behind both the good and the bad which previously took place. Some things will be repeated, but new projects also await execution and fresh ventures to be launched. Life never stands still!
The same is true with the conclusion of one level of schooling. Instead of stopping there, why not consider higher levels which will increase your knowledge and skills, while providing better opportunities ahead? The difficulties to be faced are no reason to desist or be discouraged, for the wherewithal for their execution will always be available! Just like past events saw countless barriers and diverse problems, any new beginning will also have its share of unpleasant occurrences. Nevertheless, these don’t
signify a complete stop but only a momentary detour, or perhaps a meaningful change to ensure the full, legitimate success being sought! Always remember that no one can ever rush to success. If it is to come, it will always require diligent effort, often accompanied by sweat and tears. All difficulties encountered along the way towards the realization of any project do not signify that they are impossible; it probably only means that the effort will require extra time and labor!

City Rejects Proposal to Ban Religious Displays During Holiday Season By: Bryanna Basilio
The 10-foot, 300-pound satanic pentagram in Sanborn Square last year wins the right to remain. Following a Boca Raton City Council meeting on August 22, the city found the banning of religious displays unconstitutional and the ordinance was killed. Initially the Boca Raton City Council proposed to discontinue a policy that allowed religious displays at Sanborn Square Park each December following the backlash and criticism a satanic pentagram display received last year. Preston Smith, the Boca Raton Middle School teacher who put up the display, expressed his opinion on the proposal. “It’s ironic that the quickest way to shut down the public forum is to have a different opinion,” he said. “It is astonishing hypocrisy on the city’s part.” The first amendment protects Smith’s freedom of speech to express what he believes. The large pentagram which displayed the words, “May the Children Hail Satan” stirred controversy around the country. At the council meeting, City Attorney Diana Grub Fresier reiterated the display had not broken any laws. “Once we allow the private installation as we had historically, then we must allow all private installations,” she said. “We cannot under the constitution and have not made distinctions based on content, such as making one permitted and another is not. We have never discouraged anyone from using Sanborn Square as a freedom of expression zone.” Historically this is true, when looking at the Sanborn Square holiday tradition. In 1990, the city had installed a Christmas tree in Sanborn Square but one of the Jewish groups wanted to put a menorah. A lawsuit was filed and a settlement was reached. The city decided to allowed private installations, which has remained a custom to this day. Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie believes the pentagram is a rare incident but one that should be addressed. “After all the attention last year’s display received,” she said. “In my opinion, it was extremely offensive and it offended many of our residents. We could have several of those unless we close this we cannot control the content of those displays.”
Among those who share Haynie’s displeasure, were Boca Raton residents Laurie Colbert and Therese Brady, both in favor of the proposal. “I’ve been here for 30 years and all of the sudden we have this satanic display from last year that seems to be squashing our ability to show the true meaning of Christmas,” said Colbert describing her personal view of the display. “The true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Christ, whatever religion you are.” The display last year was so offensive to some that a few took matters into their own hands to destroy it. The pentagram display was vandalized repeatedly and even ran over by a truck. Both incidences occurring during the several weeks it stood, as Smith continued to rebuild it. Nonetheless, other residents had shared a similar viewpoint regarding law enforcement’s role during the ordeal. The council received an earful. “Perform your duty of encouraging public safety, even if many city officials may disagree,” stated Joe Masserie of Highland Beach. “Issue the permits and secure the permits. This is a policing issue. It’s the responsibility of the public authority.” As for the individuals who vandalized the pentagram on different occasions, they were never caught. “The backlash of the display really should have made the city take more precautions like installing flood lights or cameras,” said Smith. “There should be cameras in the park to see what goes on,” said Charles Fix who also had a similar solution to Smith’s idea. “Forget changing the ordinance. Just install cameras.” The decision to install such a controversial display was Smith’s initiative to “force change.” He further explains, “sometimes you need shock and awe to affect change.” When asked if any more controversial displays will return this December following the city council’s ordinance kill, he said, “Yes. It’s a battle that will continue for many, many years.” The park, which recognizes a "freedom of speech" zone, will still allow holiday installations provided they not be permanent in nature and be removed after that event.

columnists ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT
FAITH By Robert J. Tamasy
By Robert Weinroth • Last Thursday, as part of Boca Chamber Festival Days, members of the community attended a back to school brunch to celebrate and congratulate Connie Siskowski as the American Association of Caregiving Youth recapped a decade of work. Siskowski’s vision for AACY is to ensure that youth caring for ill, injured, elderly or disabled family members will achieve success in school and life. To that end, she has committed herself to increasing awareness and providing support services for youth caregivers and their families by connecting them with Healthcare, education and community resources. • Later that day we joined the Greater Boca Raton Chamber as we welcomed the Brass Tap to its newly remodeled location on the SE corner of Dixie Hwy and Glades Rd (1198 N Dixie Hwy Boca Raton FL 33432). • That evening, another great BCFD event was held at BRIO Turscan Grille to help find a cure “under the sea” for the benefit of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was a great night supporting an important cause. • Our community can take pride in the fact that Boca Raton-based cell tower operator SBA Communications was be added to the S&P 500 index on September 1st replacing diversified chemical company, DuPont. SBA leases antenna space on its more than 24,000 cell towers worldwide to wireless service providers AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile. The company employs 1,500 workers nationwide, including 400 people at its headquarters. SBA President and CEO Jeffrey A. Stoops was named the Sun Sentinel Co.’s 2014 Excalibur Award for Business Leader of the Year in Palm Beach County. • Congratulations to Orangetheory on the official opening of their new corporate headquarters in the Park at Broken Sound. Last month, Governor Rick Scott visited Boca Raton to recognize Orangetheory for its job creation efforts. Orangetheory, with over 11,000 employees worldwide, has over 100 employees on Boca Raton and plans to double that amount over the next year. • Boca Chamber Festival Days continued at the Renaissance Boca Raton Hotel, on Friday, August 25th, where the Battle of the Bartenders was fought. Proceeds from the night were earmarked for Best Foot Forward Foundation. There was lots of fun as the competing Bartenders mixed, poured and entertained. Best Foot Forward, founded by Donna Biase and Debbie Ellman, is the only nonprofit organization in Palm Beach County dedicated to the educational success of youth who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned and have entered the foster care system. Ellman and Biase believe that by empowering children in foster care they can help avoid the all-toocommon negative outcomes many experience. Their program programs support, guide and empower foster care youth, giving them every opportunity to succeed in school and beyond. • On Saturday, the YMCA BIG Fall Kick-off
September 1- September 7 , 2017
event was held at the Peter Blum Family Y in Boca Raton. Hundreds of families enjoyed a free family fun Open House event with activities inside and out and discounts on Fall program registrations! • Wine & All That Jazz, one of Boca Raton’s largest wine tasting parties, was held last Saturday evening. Attendees treated themselves to more than 100 fine wine tastings, delectable food provided by some of Boca Raton’s finest restaurants, a VIP room with live entertainment, live music, dancing and exciting Drawing prizes. • Bowling for Bread raised Dough to support Boca Helping Hands’ program on Sunday afternoon at Strikes @ Boca, thanks to the generosity of Debralyn & Ronnie Belletieri as well as the many sponsors for the day’s fundraising fun! Mayor Susan Haynie was on hand to help select the prizewinners. • On Tuesday evening and again on Wednesday afternoon, the members of the community (including the City Council) attended kick-off meetings for the Boca Raton II Tri-Rail Station (Project Development & Environmental Study), moderated by PBC Commissioner Steven Abrams. The PD&E study will evaluate alternatives for a second Tri-Rail station within the South Florida Rail Corridor in the City of Boca Raton between just north of Glades Rd and south of Palmetto Park Rd. The proposed station would likely be built around 2022. The project goal is to serve underutilized travel markets of Downtown Boca Raton, colleges and universities and area businesses (e.g. Boca Center, Town Center) and residents as well as improve access to the Tri-Rail system. • The Third Annual Lip Sync contest was another great BCFD fundraiser. Held at the Blue Martini at Town Center, the event benefited the Nat King Cole Generation Hope. Local celebrities and community favorites pulled out the stops as they performed to the delight of a standing room only audience. Competing were Mohamed Abdala, Marilyn Blanco Corey, Stephen Edwards, Linda & Doug Patton (Linda channeles a great Olivia Newton John), Jackie Reeves, AnnMarie Van Castern, Robert Vazquez, Katie Volman and Mary Wong. It was a great night pf fun while supporting a wonderful organization. • It wouldn’t be right not to acknowledge the terrible devastation visited on the residents of Texas and Louisiana over this past week. With over 50” of rainfall, Houston and the surrounding communities are going to have a long hard road ahead as residents rebuild their lives. Multiple agencies are working to help people and pets through this time. Select the agency that resonates with you and do what you can to help those who have little but the clothes on their back left. • FAU is getting ready for Game Day as the Owls prepare to welcome the NAVY Midshipman for the season opener, FRIDAY at 8PM.

Marks of a Great Leader I seem to be an information packrat. I collect articles, columns and various notes, and hang onto them for years for future reference, not knowing when or how I might use them. Recently I came across a column from 2005 that appeared in the respected business journal, Forbes. Entitled “Five Marks of a Great Leader,” it was written by Paul Johnson, a British historian and author. He asked, “What makes a real leader? How can we recognize one?” Johnson offered the view that among the qualities great leaders possess, they must include: – Moral courage: “The willingness to stick to one’s beliefs, to pursue a course of action in the face of overwhelming criticism, great adversity and…the faintheartedness of friends and allies.” – Judgment: “Courage without judgment is pointless and may be dangerous. When I need advice…I turn to someone who has knocked about the world and cheerfully survived ‘the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.’” – A sense of priority: “Sorting out the truly big from the small takes an innate horse sense that’s not given to most human beings…it is nearly always the hallmark of a great leader.” – Disposal and concentration of effort: “Leaders must allocate their time and energy.” – Humor: “A subordinate always serves more zealously and obeys more faithfully a leader who can joke, and the public …warms to a potentate who can make them laugh.” Reading the Bible, we find these traits also emphasized there. Here are examples of what it says: Moral courage. When Joshua assumed leadership of the Israelites
from Moses, God emphasized the need for courage. “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous…” (Joshua 1:6-9, 18). Judgment. Being able to discern right from wrong, good vs. the best, is indispensable for effective leadership. “… that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ” (Philippians 1:9-10). A sense of priority. Effective leaders never lose sight of what’s most important. “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money …. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:24,33). Disposal and concentration of effort. How can energy best be expended, making certain to be able to complete critical tasks, and particularly not having to redo work due to unsatisfactory quality or workmanship? “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?…” (Luke 14:2830). Humor. One way to maintain a good sense of humor is to avoid having an over-inflated sense of self. “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you” (Romans 12:3).

PHOTOS BY ROSA
PBSC students selected to visit NASA this October
By Rosa Cavalcanti Coldplay performed in Miami on Monday, August 28 to a sold out crowd at Hard Rock Stadium. Below are some of the best shots from the performance, including some from the special song the band dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas.
Thirteen Palm Beach State College students will travel to a NASA center this fall to participate in the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars program. The students are among 304 community college students from across the U.S. selected for the NCAS program. Initially, the students spent five weeks this summer in an online course, learning about NASA’s missions and research. Out of 21 PBSC students who took the online course, 16 were invited to attend an onsite NASA workshop, and 13 are able to go. The students pay only $30 in incidental fees, and the NCAS program pays for their travel, food and lodging. Seven NASA centers are participating, but most of the PBSC students will go to the Kennedy Space Center event October 23-26. During this behindthe-scenes experience, the students will interact with NASA engineers and subject matter experts as they learn more about careers in science and engineering. The students will be assigned to different teams and tasked with establishing fictional companies interested in Mars exploration. Each team is responsible for developing and testing a prototype rover, forming a company infrastructure, managing a budget, and developing communications and outreach. The PBSC students attending an on-site event are: Victoria Adams, Mario Aparicio, Oketa Basha, Alexander Cafaro, Robert Dechert, Vitas Diktanas Jr., Damir Fayzulaev, Itai Firan, Katayoun Jamei, Miguel Mattis, Theodore Pena, Lauren Ristaino and Alexander Shaw. (Cory Carpenter, Robert Cook and Anthony Sturges also were invited but are unable to attend.) Vitas Diktanas Jr., an A.A. degree alumnus and master plumber with his own company, says the NCAS program has expanded his career aspirations. Already planning a career move,
he returned to PBSC at the beginning of this year to take the prerequisites he needs to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program in engineering. “I wanted to do something with my mind and less with my hands,” Diktanas said. Inspired by the NCAS program, he is now deciding between pursuing mechanical or aerospace engineering. “I’ve always loved space, ever since I was a kid,” Diktanas said. “To have the chance to get into anything connected to NASA is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s something that I’ve always wanted but never expected to be able to do. I’m really excited to go. I just can’t wait to get there!” The NCAS program also has made a big impact on Lauren Ristaino, who is pursuing her A.A. degree with the goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. She takes classes part time and works full time as a parts specialist for Braman Porsche. While she has thought of becoming an engineer for Porsche in Germany, because of the NCAS program, she is now considering the possibility of one day working for NASA. “Once you get through the NCAS program, they actually open up a door for you to have future employment with NASA later on, when you do have a degree,” Ristaino said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity that a lot of students may not know of. When I applied for it, I thought, ‘oh let me just try this out and see how it goes,’ and it actually turned into this huge interest I never even knew I had.” NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars is a project funded in part by the Minority University Research and Education Program (MUREP), which is committed to engaging underrepresented and underserved students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in authentic learning experiences to sustain a diverse workforce. With this activity, NASA continues the agency’s tradition of engaging the nation in NASA’s mission. “NCAS has a legacy of alumni moving from NASA internships to and ultimately entering the NASA workforce. It is rewarding to see the progression of a student from NCAS participant to NASA colleague,” said Joeletta Patrick, MUREP manager.

Boca Raton Resident Wins Bridge Championship
By: Gabriel Diaz Boca Raton resident John Diamond, claimed his seventh title in the North American Bridge Championship this past July. Diamond’s team victory was for the Spingold Trophy Replica event at the Summer North American Bridge Championships (NABC). Also winners of the trophy and Diamond’s teammates are Boye Brogeland of Norway, Brian Platnick of Evanston, Ill., and Espen Lin of Norway. Platnick and Diamond have been playing bridge for a long time. “My parents tell me they started teaching me when I was 3, but I don’t remember learning. I do remember playing with them when I was 6.” “Brian and I have been playing together for 30 years, although there were a few years in there when we didn’t play too much. There are only a few pairs in the world who have been playing together longer than we have.” “Although I won the Spingold once before, this time it means a lot more to me because we played 4-handed,” said Diamond of his victory.
The Spingold Trophy Replica event is one of the 20 championship-level events held in Toronto, Canada, from July 20 to 30 for the summer championship. The North American Bridge Championship is part of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). Founded in 1937, the ACBL is the largest bridge organization in the world, serving 167,000 members and 3,000 bridge clubs and sanctioning 1,100 sectional and regional tournaments annually. The three North American Bridge Championships each attract up to 6,500 players representing every state in the United States, Canada and about 20 other foreign countries. According to the league’s website, “The mission of the ACBL is to promote, grow and sustain the game of bridge and serve the bridge-related interests of our Members.” Bridge is a very attractive and rewarding card game that attracts not only ordinary people like Diamond, but also people of all ages and walks of life such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, whom are both known to enjoy this popular game.

Veteran coach to lead Palm Beach State’s Women’s Basketball Maureen Smith, who has more than 24 years of coaching experience, has been chosen as the new interim coach for the Panther women’s basketball team for the 2017-18 season. She replaces Kris Ruffo, who was the head coach for the past eight years. Before joining Palm Beach State College, Smith, a New Jersey native, was the assistant coach for women’s basketball at University High School in Orlando and the assistant golf coach at Seminole State College in Sanford. Her basketball coaching experience spans four states with two head women’s coaching positions at Seminole State College from 2006 to 2009 and at East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pa. from 2010 to 2015. At Seminole State College in 2008, Smith led the Raiders to a Mid-Florida Conference Championship and to a second-place finish in the NJCAA Region 8 State Tournament before the college discontinued the program. Even though her last few decades have been spent coaching, she also knows what it’s like on the court as she played throughout school and in college at Broward Community College and Florida International University. “Playing at a community or state college is such a great springboard,” says Smith. “I am really looking forward to
helping PBSC student athletes have a great athletic and academic experience so they can matriculate on to the next level like I did.” Last season, the team won the Southern Conference Championship. At the NJCAA District/FCSAA State Basketball Tournament, a loss in the first round to Tallahassee Community College kept them out of contention for nationals. Even though it’s a new season with a new leader at the helm, Smith says that people shouldn’t underestimate the team’s potential. “I think we can definitely achieve another Southern Conference Championship title, as well as go further in the state tournament.” She hopes to mold this year’s team to be very defensive oriented complemented with a high-octane offense. Smith currently has a roster of 10 on her team, with plans to add more before the season begins. The team’s first home game will be Nov. 14 against the College of Central Florida. Tryouts will be Aug. 25 at noon on the Lake Worth campus. Students who wish to participate must be enrolled full time and provide a completed physical form. For more information, contact Smith at smithmt@palmbeachstate.edu or call 561-868-3008.
